New SOS member Ken Kinkopf, Dublin, Ohio finished the lone runner-up in the Senior Division with 310 points.2018 SUPER SENIOR PLAYER OF THE YEAR – EVAN LONG

Added to those were top 15 finishes at both the Founders and Bogart. Long, the 2017 SS Fall Classic Champ, was able to amass 440 points for the title. Jerry McMullen, Carmel, IN, playing in five events this year, made impressive finishes at the John Owens (T8) and the Bogart (T2). His 375 points were good for second place in the SS POY sweepstakes.2018 GRAND MASTER PLAYER OF THE YEAR – Rick Kline
Rick Kline, Pinehurst, NC took the GM POY with four top five finishes in 2018, including a win at the 2018 Hesler. Kline started the year with a T3 at the Spring Classic and a T11 at the John Kline. Bracketing his win at the Hesler, Kline completed the year with at T4 at the SOS Championship and a T3 at the Founders. For his efforts, Kline earned an impressive 580 points. Johnny Blank, Frostburg, MD, riding a T6 finish at the SOS Championships and a win at the year-end Bogart, was able to secure 405 points, good for runner up honor.
Congratulations to the 2018 Players of the Year!!

Meeting offers insight into post-Brexit trading arrangements
There was a packed house at the latest meeting of the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce International Trade Club when the UK's post Brexit options were explained by Professor Fiona Smith, Professor of Economic Law at the University of Warwick's School of Law. Professor Smith, who is a leading UK authority on international trade law under the World Trade Organisation (WTO), was the keynote speaker at the event. Run by the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce International Business Team and sponsored by Cassons, the International Trade Club aims to help importers and exporters develop their knowledge of current issues and share experiences. Professor Smith spoke about the options for UK trade policy after Brexit, summarising the current position with free trade across Europe. Attendees heard that the priority negotiation with the EU surrounds the terms of the UK's departure and that it has not yet been decided when the discussions about trade between the UK and EU can commence. Professor Smith said she was optimistic that an agreement will be reached. Guest speaker Mike Spicer, Director of Research and Economics at the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC), talked about the impact of Brexit on international trade. Mr Spicer said Britain's biggest trading partner is the EU and anticipated that this would continue to be the case. Mr Spicer said the UK had a skills gap within Whitehall when it came to negotiating trade deals as it is something the country has not had to do in the recent past. Helen Cowley, Tax Partner at Cassons, who had just returned from attending the BKR International conference in Singapore, spoke to delegates about the difference in VAT treatment between supplying end consumers and business customers. Carlton Cooper, Partner at Cassons, said: "It was wonderful to see so many businesses at the event. The talks were especially pertinent as both Fiona and Mike considered the implications for UK overseas trade post Brexit which resulted in some lively discussions." Mandy Lockett, Director of International Trade at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce reiterated Mr Spicer's comments and urged members to complete the Chamber's economic surveys on a regular basis. Fellow guest speaker Laurie Thomas, Managing Director of the award-winning Vision Support Services, gave a fascinating insight into one of the world's leading textile companies, which exports to 74 companies, with sourcing hubs in India, China and Pakistan, and international sales offices in Ireland and Dubai. Top tips from Laurie included taking time to build a strong brand, carry out research before entering a market and understanding what is truly important to your customers. The next International Trade Club breakfast meeting takes place on Thursday 13 July, 8-10.30am. For more information contact Marie White on 01254 356448 or email email@example.com

New Wedding Day Experience
Since weddings seem to be such a frequent event these days, it may seem like they tend to be the same thing over and over: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance, then go home. If you are recently engaged and looking for something a little more unique, how about more of a cocktail themed hangout? Formal dinners are not for everyone, so if you are the type who would prefer to have more of a casual evening with your family and friends, that might be just the solution for you! Here at the Sioux Falls Convention Center, we've just purchased equipment to execute two new concepts: The Kitchen Experience and The Bar Experience. With the Kitchen Experience, your guests can have the luxury of watching the chefs cook up some items right in front of them! They are portable carts that can be placed in the room, but come fully equipped with everything you'd need to create meals or food items from scratch. With the laid back vibe of a cocktail themed reception, you can have the chefs creating different appetizer and snack food options for a portion of the evening so your guests can come up and help themselves as they desire. You can also put out little snacks around the room on cocktail tables: peanuts, popcorn, snack mix, candies, etc. You can even have a dessert station with various bite sized options of bars, cakes, cupcakes—you name it! With The Bar Experience, we've got the capability of making one large, circular bar that can have many bartenders working behind it. It is capable of holding multiple flavors of keg beers, bottled beers, wines, and mixed drinks. It also has built in LED lights that can flash, fade, or stay one color—another great option to tie in your wedding colors! It can also have lots of bar stools so people can literally belly up to the bar and hang out there all night if they want! We can place cocktail tables in the bar area, along with lounge chairs and even TV's to watch whatever sports are playing that night! And don't worry because the other side of the room can still fit your dance floor for those who want to dance the night away. These options are a great way to give your guests an alternative of feeling more relaxed than a sit down dinner would. Our rooms are large enough that you could even bring in pool tables, darts, or any other bar games you might find fun in creating a cocktail reception hangout. So give us a call today at the Sioux Falls Convention Center to make your wedding reception a unique and exciting experience for you and all of your guests!

'Budapest Architecture Apocalyptic Film Days' @ Toldi Cinema, 7 – 10 March
- 4 Mar 2019 11:33 AM
The organizer Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre has selected films with apocalyptic narratives this year.
The cinema screen will be filled with motion pictures of human communities battling against environmental pollution and climate change, shrinking cities and camps accommodating masses of war refugees.
You will also have a chance to see what people thought about the future half a century ago, when the US and the Soviet Union firmly believed in technology solving every single problem of our human world.
The questions are still similar today. How much more can we build on this planet and for how long? How long will the unstoppable growth and the building craze last? Does urban development become more democratic with the use of video games or drones?
How will construction industry change if ground floor entrances are replaced with top-level runways? And where could one hide if someone would pull the handbrake instead?
The films are screened in the original language with Hungarian or English subtitles.

Good Nutrition!
As I am typing this on my new phone (thanks Lamar), the house is filled with the aroma of brown basmati rice and chicken andouille shrimp gumbo. I prefer home cooked meals from scratch now, but it wasn't always that way. Growing up, it was a treat to eat out, even fast food. That got turned upside down in my adult years. Bluntly, my health paid the price and now I know better. You can't subject your body to junk, then expect top performance.
Your body has a keen way of letting you know when you are not getting good nutrition, and it's not a good feeling. Some people seek a doctor, some a nutritionist, some ignore the symptoms unitl real damage is done. it has been my experience that it's best to correct the nutrition, then maintain optimal behaviors. I know this is easier said than done, but we must do our best.
Oftentimes, people overlook how the presence of others affect their lives. To be in optimal mental and emotional health, you must take care that your circle of influence, your community, is good nutrition. No one is perfect, but if you have people around you that constantly throw negativity, GET RID OF THEM. If you hold on to nothing else, please know that you are a unique person with a unique gift for the world. You have a purpose to tap into. When you allow negative people to disrupt your presence, you lose focus on your greatness.
Through the years, I've experienced poor and good nutrition. I much prefer good. Just like an athlete, the good nutrition of people can help strengthen you and help you aspire to personal bests. Good nutrition can help you get through challenging times. Good nutrition sometimes just makes you feel good!
Take a look at your dreams and aspirations. Now take a look at your nutrition. How healthy is your circle of influence? You may have to distance yourself from some, or completely remove others. This is also about boundaries, protecting what you need to protect. Remember, you are worthy of good, so cut back on the junk food people!

This is indeed a great post. Yes, you are right..I need to protect my health. And I think the first thing that I must do is to cut back on the junk food. Thanks for this.

As my students will hopefully attest, I like to focus on evocative objects in my history classes. These objects are described by social theorist Sherry Turkle as "the things we think with," and they allow us construct an entire world around them.
For instance, a hubcap from a 1957 Chevrolet leads us into a discussion about the social and cultural contexts of the 1950s and into a world filled with the sounds of rock and roll, the construction of suburban houses, the antics of Howdy Doody and Bert The Turtle, and the stirrings of the modern civil rights movement. The hubcap can also send us down the road of American tourism and into the parking lots of countless motels that lined this road–including the parking lot outside Kelly's Motel, where I grew up and developed the kind of warped mindset that eventually led to the creation of this column.
I have collected several books about evocative objects that run the gamut from Civil War memorabilia and tasty culinary items, to objects associated with the Beatles and Michelangelo's art works. My most recent acquisition is Scott Jordan Harris' fascinating and very evocative ROSEBUD SLEDS AND HORSES' HEADS: 50 OF FILM'S MOST EVOCATIVE OBJECTS. Published in 2013, this book features fifty one-page essays, accompanied by original drawings, that offer many ways to think about how evocative objects define the history of film. The two references in the book's title recall the famous (and infamous) sled that unlocks the mystery of newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane's life in Orson Welles' justly praised 1941 movie "Citizen Kane," and the horse head refers to the unforgettable scene from Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film "The Godfather" when movie mogul Jack Woltz awakens in bed to find the bloody and severed head of his prized race horse lying beside him. Today, it is impossible to think or talk about these movies without conjuring up images of these objects at the same time.
Harris' choice of evocative objects contains expected items as well as some rather unexpected ones. Is it possible, for example, to compile such a book without including Dorothy's ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), Marilyn Monroe's billowing white dress from "The Seven Year Itch," (1955), "Casablanca's" (1942) coveted letters of transit, Michael Myers' "Halloween" (1978) mask, a golden ticket from "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" (1971), or the Red Ryder BB Gun from Bob Clark's "A Christmas Story" (1983)?
In addition to these no-brainer inclusions, I am happy to see some of my favorite cinematic evocative objects, including the big clock from Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last" (1923), the Maltese Falcon from John Huston's now-classic film noir "The Maltese Falcon" (1941), Indiana Jones' well-worn hat from all films in the series (1981-2008), and the .44 Magnum wielded by Harry Callahan in the still-controversial "Dirty Harry" (1971), chosen for inclusion.
Although I have seen over forty of the films Harris includes in his list, I am looking forward to adding some to my own list, including "The World of Apu" (1959), "Two of Three Things I Know About Her" (1967), "Delirious" (1991), and "Sholay" (1975). So many films, so little time.
A couple of unexpected, yet very welcome inclusions are the discarded coke bottle from Jamie Uys' quirky 1980 South African film "The Gods Must Be Crazy" and the white plastic bag blowing in the breeze that becomes a major character in Sam Mendes' "American Beauty" (1999), a film that takes on a whole new meaning in light of the recent allegations against actor Kevin Spacey.
The coke bottle that lands in the midst of a group of Kalahari Bushmen after being thrown from an airplane becomes a metaphor for cultural change. As Harris describes its significance, "the mass-produced perfection of the Coca-Cola bottle is the ideal emblem of Western society." Because these bottles are so ubiquitous in our culture, we "scarcely even notice them. We certainly never stop to contemplate them." To those who have never seen them, however, they might seem divine, and possibly a sign from the gods. In fact, the "bottle's appearance among the film's bush people represents the encroachment of modern commerce into a virgin world." As Harris observes, "No on-screen object has ever exposed the savagery in civilization, or the civility in a savage, as succinctly as this discarded Coke bottle." Likewise, the blown-around plastic bag from "American Beauty" becomes much more than just a familiar object with which we line our wastebaskets. "It is Hollywood's standout symbol of the traces of the sublime we can see around us every day."
And, much to my relief, Harris didn't forget to include the red pill and the blue pill from 1999's "The Matrix." According to Harris "The idea of these two pills has penetrated popular culture to such an extent that 'taking the blue pill' is now a common description of any choice that allows someone to unquestionably accept things the way they appear instead of investigating the way they really are." Of course, this idea is not new, receiving its classic treatment several thousand years ago in Plato's allegory of the cave from "The Republic." I agree with Harris that the "great power of the pills is that, though they seem to present such a clear binary choice, they inspire a dozen different interpretations." And isn't this the most compelling reason for watching movies?
In case you are wondering, Harris didn't forget to include the infamous wafer-thin mint that played such a memorable–and hilariously nauseating–role in "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" (1983). If you remember–and you really can't forget–the segment featuring Mr. Creosote, you will understand why this evocative object is so essential to Harris' list.
Like any book based on lists, I question why Harris didn't include other objects, such as the key Ingrid Bergman held in her hand in Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious" (1946), the organ console from "Carnival of Souls" (1963), a spare tire from "Road House" (1989), the Christmas tree from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989), the mysterious blue box from "Mulholland Drive" (2001), and the hitchhiker's pocket knife from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974). This list can go on and on, and I am sure you have items of your own to include. But, alas, this column has run out of space.
See you next week with (hopefully) the word of the year.

|Yes Dear guarding the names
And now, about Down Sunshine Lane, and what I bought from there. I won a giveaway!!! I was soooooooo excited too, cause I got a couple of charts that I really wanted. I was thinking of getting my Q snaps from there, but they're expensive. I can get them from my local Hobby Lobby for eleven dollars, and from 123stitch.com for twelve. DSL wanted thirteen fifty for them. So, since I can get them cheaper elsewhere (and I try to be thrifty) I used my GC for charts. I've really been wanting to get the Celtic Ladies from L & L. There are five of these gorgeous charts. Celtic Winter, Celtic Spring, Celtic Summer, Celtic Autumn, and Celtic Christmas. I bought two of them from DSL. I got one from Rachel a while back, Celtic Spring. Then, from DSL I bought Celtic Winter, and Celtic Summer. I think. I'm not sure, lol. But I think that's what I got. (Now they'll come to my house and I'll have Winter and Autumn, lol.) I had to pay the six dollars shipping and handling, but that's a small price to pay for getting some charts I've really been wanting.
So, because of this, I have to say a big THANKS to Kathy K. and her dog Rory. She has a gorgeous Irish Setter. His name is Rory, and he's a terrible ham. His pics are fabulous, and she almost always includes pics of him in her blog updates. He recently won his Grand Champion designation. If I remember right, to do so, you must have accumulated at least fifteen points as well as a major dog show win. She was so proud of him, and of herself. She's a wonderful lady, and I was soooooo happy for her. To celebrate, she had the giveaway, and I was shocked that I won!! So thank you again Kathy, for your generosity in having the giveaway. And congrats again. I don't know anyone who deserves it more than you and Rory. Give him a big kiss from me!!!
Of course, I'll let you know when I receive my new goodies, which should be in just a few days. I'll take some pics too, to add to my stash folder. It's quite full, lol. And that doesn't include the freebies I have!!! Ah, well, so many charts, so little time.
Julie said something the other day that made me laugh till I cried. It was too funny. Mom had called me earlier in the evening and b&*^%ed me out for breaking her remote control, which I didn't do. So I said that to Julie, just the way I said it here except I said the whole cuss word. And Julie said, "Cool." To which I laughed hysterically as she obviously had lost her mind!!! And of course, she knew from my laughter I had caught her totally not paying attention to me, and she tried to apologize, but the damage was already done!! I have been known to not give her my full attention, but I've never (knock on wood) made a blunder like that. I was just absolutely ticked pink to have her over a barrel as it happens so rarely. I told her she'll never live it down, lol.
I have put Midnight Hunting up, although I really didn't want to. I swear, I feel so urgent when stitching on my project every other Saturday night. I don't want to do email (I always end up behind) and I don't want to catch up on blogs either. This week, since I did nothing on Sat, I didn't even take a bath. Just had a quick swipe with the soap and water instead of climbing in the tub for an hour. Cause I HAD to stitch. I had to put it away on Sunday, and I really didn't want to. But I was so dreading working on Jesus this week, that I cheated and worked on MH instead. I know, Christmas is coming. But I have almost his whole face done, and I needed a break. So next week I'll be back to it. You can see a pic of my beautiful (fraught with peril) progress on MH here. I did meet my goal on it, and I'm so happy about that. I wanted to get some of the border done and finish up the moon panel, and I did.
This week and next week are DGM. It's been quite a while since I worked on this piece, so I'm happy it's up in the rotation. My goal here is to finish part seven (it was halfway done when I put it away) and start part eight. I don't think this will be a problem. I only have the animal panel to do and then some backstitching for part seven to be done. Part eight is small, but I think I may get a quarter of it done and that's about it. We'll see how I do. Setting goals is new to me, as I've never been very structured in my stitching before. So we'll see how I do. It's depressing to me to never meet my goals, or else I stay up all night trying to meet them. Hopefully, I won't set the bar too high.
I'm almost finished printing charts again. I was running lower on ink (not yet low, but getting there), so I haven't printed Sloth out yet. I have the rest of them done. Now I need to get them organized into binders and on the shelves. To do this, I need to get page protectors. Of course, the price has gone up substantially since the last time I bought them, so I don't have the money to get enough of them yet. Maybe I can borrow it from mom. Who knows?!? I'm going to price them as soon as I'm done here. Maybe I'll have good news in my next post!! Gonna check out Walmart and Target. I know, Walmart is mostly Chinese stuff, but I'm poor and cant' afford to be picky. Also, I think the ones for sale on Staples.com are made in China too. So we'll see.
Tomorrow is HP night at mom's house. We decided to have spaghetti for dinner. She asked what I wanted, and spaghetti just sounded good. So I'm bringing the sauce and she has meat and bread. I think I'm gonna bring some Angel Hair pasta too, cause if I remember right, she uses the big spaghetti, and I like the really thin kind. It promises to be a nice night. I'll leave you with a pic of Yes Dear guarding the entries into my giveaway after I took the winner from her. (She didn't want to let

Yoga therapy or Yoga for Cure is a concept where Yoga is taught (in a group of people suffering similar problem or one-to-one) to deal with his/her physical, emotional and psychological health. With yoga therapy one can manage arthritis, multiple sclerosis; control asthma and digestion problems, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness etc.
While undergoing Yoga therapy, the person/patient in the beginning is trained to practice yoga postures or asanas to recover from an injury or illness, and then some more advanced postures to receive support in improving the quality of life where medical treatments aren't helping.
When you approach Yoga for medical reasons (as a therapy), i.e. to get treated for a problem, you will need to be patient as your tutor or instructor will start with slow, small steps, gradually increasing the time, intensity, & frequency of postures and levels. If you be at it you will gradually feel better and a day will come when your life will be back on track.
For example if you suffer chronic back problem at the slightest and most unexpected trigger; i.e. you get a catch on simply bending down to lift something really light, develop bad back for sleeping on the wrong side, or while doing something as routine is wearing your pullover….means you suffer from chronic back problem.
You may always keep balm, pills, and ice pads handy, but over a period of time you realize that you need more than this. You need preventive treatment or something that can cure you of it. This is where yoga therapy will help.
Back problem is just an example; you may have your own peculiar problems that might be throwing life out of gear for you when you get the bout or attack; e.g. insomnia, snoring, IBS, etc. In all such cases yoga works best. You just need to be patient and complete the treatment as told.
When you approach the yoga expert or practitioner with your problem, he'd typically scan through your medical reports if you have, examine you personally, ask questions etc. to arrive at diagnoses. Post his observations he'll start you on some gentle light Yoga postures to test your strength, thereby stabilize your condition. If you get past it, i.e. your physical strength and flexibility permits you to do the postures, bending, stretching etc., you'll experience relief, and it is now that your instructor will introduce you to the next level of yoga postures (complex poses, longer duration or what s/he thinks appropriate).
While the basic postures are aimed at making one stable, the next level generally involves your mind. As working on your physical body is underway which strengthens your back muscles or parts where the problem is; you are given in depth understanding of the reasons and causes of occurrence of this problem. This insight helps you to become more careful and aware of the surroundings, and steer clear of situations that may be giving rise to the problem.
With regular practice people with back problem have had fewer flair ups, the intensity of attack isn't the same; and intensity and duration of pain also remarkably reduces. The good thing here is that Yoga offers a new perspective. It may not necessarily cure you of the problem; sometimes it helps to create a new environment in the body where the problem can't make its way through. As you gain experience, therapy yoga can offer solid support required to manage everyday life.
Yoga therapy not only helps you at physical and psychological level, it also offers support at energy level. People who take to therapy with complete sincerity have felt mentally more stable and have become far better equipped to cope with life; and have felt more alive and energetic.

Following the shooting that occurred at the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, in which a woman shot and injured three people before killing herself, tech companies have begun coming out of the shadows and speaking out about gun control.
"It's beyond time to evolve our policies", tweeted Twitter Inc and Square Inc CEO Jack Dorsey. His cries for justice involved his insistence that, "we can't keep being reactive to this", assuming that thinking and praying it will not happen at other schools, jobs or community spots is effective.
Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.UL] CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Box Inc CEO Aaron Levie followed suit, tweeting out the hashtags #NeverAgain and #EndGunViolence, both being popular go-tos for many advocates for gun control.
The tweets sent out by major players in the tech industry might be indicative of a new wave of vocal and financial support for the already-growing crowd of gun control advocates, which has exponentially grown since the shooting Parkland, Florida.

Whole Number 89
Diane L. Subers, 78 Ballston Ave., Ballston Spa, New York (12020) is seeking information on the family, including the parentage, of her great-great-grandparents, Emanuel and Sallie (Wyatt) Sparks. They were residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the mid-1800's and lived on Queen Street, between Front and Delaware Streets. Emanuel and Sallie (Wyatt) Sparks were the parents of the following children:
1. Rachel Sparks, married James Grogan.
2. Amanda Sparks, born 1859, died 1947, married Francis J. Krauss.
3. Annie Sparks, married Zachariah Anderson.
4. Mary Sparks, married Gilbert Anderson.
5. William Sparks, married Anna Wonderly.
6. Virginia Sparks, married George B. Hutchens.
7. Boy, twin of Virginia, died as an infant.
Page 1729-1730
Whole Number 89
Marva Tanner Jackson (Mrs. John M.), P.O. Box 1551, Casper, Wyoming (82601) is searching for information regarding her great-great-great-grandfather, William A. Sparks, who, according to census records, was born in Kentucky ca. 1807-1808. His wife's name was Mary J. Sparks; from census records it would appear that she was born ca. 1815-1816 in Kentucky. Family records indicate that her maiden name was either Delaney or Dulaney and that she was of Scotch-Irish ancestry. It is possible that she was William A. Sparks's second wife; if she were his first wife, based on the age of the oldest daughter, they must have been married ca. 1832.
William A. Sparks apparently moved from Kentucky to Missouri either before or soon after his marriage, because, according to census records, all of his children were born in Missouri. When the 1850 census was taken, the family was living in Monroe County, Missouri; they were still in Monroe County when the 1870 census was taken (we have not had the 1880 census searched).
Based on meager family records and the census records of 1850, 1860, and 1870, it appears that the children of William A. and Mary J. (Delaney) Sparks (all born in Missouri) were:
1. Ann C. Sparks, born ca. 1833. She was listed as their oldest child on the 1850 census, age 17. She was not listed with the family in 1860 so had probably married by that date.
2. John R. Sparks, born ca. 1834. His age was given as 16 on the 1850 census. He was no longer living with his parents in 1860. Family records indicate that he married Mary Moore.
3. William H. Sparks, born ca. 1836. His age was given as 14 on the 1850 census; he was no longer living with the family in 1860. He was probably the William Sparks listed on the 1870 census of Monroe County, Missouri, as a druggist, age 33, with wife Martha (age 22, born in Missouri) and two daughters, Bena (2 years) and Leona (1 year). A Sim Sparks (age 26) and wife Ellen were living with him in 1870.
4. Mary F. Sparks, born ca. 1838. His age was given as 12 on the 1850 census. She was no longer living with the family when the 1860 census was taken.
5. Mildred Sparks (?), born ca. 1844. Her age was given as 6 on the 1850 census, but she was not listed with the family in 1860. Since Sarah Elizabeth Sparks was born, according to family records, on June 22, 1844, it is possible that the census taker erred in 1850 in giving this daughter's name as Mildred.
6. Sarah Elizabeth Sparks, born June 22, 1844. Her name was not listed on the 1850 census, but appeared as Sarah E. Sparks, age 16, on the 1860 census. Family records reveal her exact birth date and indicate that she was married ca. 1865 to Robert Andrew Moore (born 1842). She died on June 19, 1926.
7. Zachariah T. Sparks, born ca. 1847. His name appears as "Jeremiah" on the 1860 census, but as Zachariah on both the 1850 and 1870 census records. He was still living with his parents in 1870 (age 23); like his father, he was a farmer; he was married at this time (1870) to Mary J. -----, born in Indiana ca. 1852.
8. Thomas S. Sparks was born in February 1850; his age was given as 6 months when the census taker recorded the family on August 26, 1850. He was still living with his parents in 1870. According to family records, he was called T. Spencer Sparks.
9. Theresa L. Sparks, born ca. 1851.
10. Dulaney (or Dulaney) F. Sparks, born ca. 1855.
11. Jones (or James) Sparks, born ca. 1857. He was listed as 3 years old on the 1860 census, but was not listed with the family in 1870.
12. Sterling P. Sparks, born ca. 1858. He was listed as 12 years old when the 1870 census was taken, but had not been listed on the 1860 census. It is possible that the Jones (or James) Sparks listed as 3 years old in 1860 was confused with Sterling P. Sparks.
A woman named Nancy Barton was listed as living with this family on the census records of 1850, 1860, and 1870. Each of these records gives her place of birth as Kentucky; she was born ca. 1796 -1800. She was probably a relative of the family. There were Sparks-Barton family connections in the adjoining Kentucky counties of Bourbon and Harrison which may provide a clue for tracing the family of William A. Sparks. In Bourbon County, an Andrew Barton, in a will dated June 16, 1829, left property to the four children of his deceased daughter, Sarah Sparks; he named Sarah's children as James Sparks, Hiram Sparks, William Sparks, and Margaret Sparks, all under 21 in 1829. Unfortunately, the husband of Sarah (Barton) Sparks is not identified in this will, although a Sarah Barton had married a William Sparks on January 15, 1815, in Bourbon County (Book 2, page 56). Was he the same William Sparks who married Eliza Barton in Bourbon County on September 21, 1826? (Book 2, p. 90) Andrew Barton also left property in 1829 to a son named Stephen Barton. There is a record of the marriage of a Stephen Barton to a Nancy Sparks on June 10, 1814 in Bourbon County (Book 2, 56). There is also a record of a Nancy Sparks who married a Stephen Barton in Harrison County, Kentucky, on January 11, 1831 (no. 2463). These two Nancy Sparkses were obviously different people, and one of them could have been the Nancy Barton living with the family of William A. Sparks between 1850 and 1870.

Mrs. Glenda Clyman, Box 124, Sidney, Iowa (51652) is seeking information about the ancestry of her great-great-grandfather, Sameul E. Sparks, who appears on the 1850 census of Callaway County, Missouri, with his wife, Mary (Walker) Sparks, and their sons, Henrick C. Sparks, age 2, and John T. Sparks, age 1. Samuel E. Sparks was born ca. 1822 in Virginia and Mary was born ca. 1830 in Tennessee. They were married in Callaway County, Missouri, on December 31, 1846. Sameul died sometime between 1850 and 1853, probably in Callaway County, and Mary remarried in March 1853. Can anyone help Mrs. Clyman with her genealogical problem?

Dixon Wilson is getting closer to Christina Worthy on the January 6 episode of '90210'.
A promo of "90210" episode 1.12 has been released. Not giving any details about what will happen on the next episode, the preview shows only that Beverly Hills can change people because the place is filled with contradictions since whenever there are virtue, honesty and trust, temptation, lies and betrayal will follow closely behind.
With the title "Hello, Goodbye, Amen", the episode revolves around Brenda Walsh who receives a life changing news after having some kind of problems with Kelly Taylor on the last episode. Dixon Wilson grows closer to Christina Worthy, while an unexpected secret is destined to rock Adrianna Duncan's world.
Additionally, according to OK! Magazine, the series will feature Brenda Walsh's character having fertility issues, causing her to be unable to have kids, as revealed by reliable sources close to the series. The CW network then comments that fans will have to wait until the show returns on January 6 to find out.
Recurring actresses, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, and Jessica Lowndes will make another appearance on the next episode along with guest star Lauren London. "Hello, Goodbye, Amen" is one of two episodes directed by Jason Priestley, and scheduled to air on The CW on January 6, 2009. — Ace Showbiz
There's been plenty of talk of what ailment Brenda played by 90210 original Shannen Doherty – who returns for the show's midseason finale tonight – will suffer from when she's back in the halls of West Beverly Hills High. Is she lying in that hospital bed dying? Not quite.
The TV Fanatic has learned it's much worse. Sources close the series have revealed to me that Brenda has fertility issues and won't be able to have kids, though the official CW comment is that fans will have to wait until the show returns Jan. 6 to find out.
Well, if anything, Kelly can take comfort in the knowledge that there's no way Brenda, who confessed she slept with hot-for-teacher Ryan Matthews in last week's episode teaser, can be pregnant with his baby. That's got to be mildly reassuring.
Not really.
Catch 90210 Tuesday at 8 p.m. on The CW.

Strong-Armed Robbery Reported Near LSC
A Loyola student was the victim of a strong-armed robbery Monday night, according to a crime alert email from Chief of Police and Director of Campus Safety Thomas Murray.
The student, who reported the incident to Campus Safety Tuesday afternoon, was walking in the 1300 block of West Hood Street at about 10 p.m. when the incident occurred. Two males and one female approached the student and demanded the student's backpack, according to Murray's email.
The offenders took the backpack and fled the scene, according to the alert, which said Campus Safety is working with the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to investigate.
CPD News Affairs spokesperson Michelle Tannehill said CPD has no record of the incident.
The email did not provide a description of the offenders.
The investigation is ongoing, and Campus Safety asks anyone with information to call their office at 773-508-6039 or the Chicago Police Department at 312-744-8263.

Project cost overruns and schedule slippage are ubiquitous in our organizations. Survey after survey have revealed that at least one third of projects, irrespective of the industry, do not complete on budget and schedule. The rate of project failure has been universally stubborn over the years, despite the growing maturity of project management as a discipline.
A major reason is that the costs and schedules are underestimated, while the benefits are exaggerated. Increasing uncertainty and risk in today's environment has made cost and schedule management even more challenging. Project costs and schedules are intricately tied to risks. Ignore risks, and watch your cost soar and schedule slip. This course demonstrates the importance of integrating cost, schedule, and risk for project success. It offers next generation tools that can help you develop more realistic cost and schedule estimates accounting for various types of risks.
The commonly used deterministic models for estimation of cost and schedule do not consider or reveal the breadth of uncertainty. Risk registers and qualitative risk analysis methods are only a first step to account for uncertainty and risks. There is a strong need for more stochastic and sophisticated quantitative methods. Next generation tools and techniques include probability distributions, simulations, tornado diagrams, correlations, decision trees, and optimization methods, among others. First, these tools provide us with meaningful information to obtain more realistic estimates of cost and schedule. Second, they present rational means for establishing contingencies. Third, they offer better insight into how a project may unfold. Fourth, they help us make right project investment decisions in the first place. And finally, they significantly improve the chances of completing projects on time and under budget.
Course Format
The course is presented in a workshop format involving hands-on activities. It consists of mini-lectures, interactive discussions, and team-based exercises and case studies. Quantitative methods presented in this course involve Excel based applications. You'll receive a demonstration of how Microsoft Corporation's Project can be used in tandem with Excel-based applications to integrate uncertainty and risk into cost and schedule estimation.
Your instructor will demonstrate each spreadsheet model using an example problem. You will learn the models through hands-on application. The class size will be limited, so that personal attention can be given to each participant in helping with the hands-on application exercises. (You are required to bring your own laptop to the classroom and encouraged—not mandatory—to download trial copies of Microsoft Project and Palisade Corporation's DecisionTools Suite, unless you already have a license for their use.)
Learning Objectives
This course will help you develop skills to:
- Estimate project costs and schedules accounting for various risks

Benefits Of Virtual Merchant Account Services
It has been made easier for people to sell varying kind of goods and services by use of a website to the public by the means of online transactions by the use of either a debit card or a credit card. Through this the sellers are risk free since they have been able to minimize the risks of being given bad checks with customers. Most customers tend to choose on the mode of payment that they prefer to use and through this they will feel satisfied by the kind of services that they have been offered.
Use of credit card for the purpose of shopping will make the people to shop more and this will be of advantage to the business as they will earn more. By use of this mode of doing business then it will be easier for a customer to do shopping of the kind of goods and services that they want since the businesses are able to accept payment from people all over the world.
Those that rarely walk with cash or they happen to bump into something impressive and they do not have the cash to pay the business will always allow them to pay online either through their debit or their credit card. When using the debit or credit cards then you are sure of protection since it needs your pin for it to be operated thus this limits the high risk of being robbed.
For a checks to mature then definitely this will take some time up to one week and this is risky to the business but if they use the credit or debit card then the payment that is made will always reflect just the same time they have made the payment. People will tend to prefer the easiest way that they can pay for their goods and services, and through the credit and debit cards then they do not have to take much time as it only needs to be swiped for them to complete the payment. Physical counting of money or waiting for change may tend to waste time as maybe there are many people waiting on the queue, but by use of the debit and credit card then that machine will be able to deduct only the amount that has been indicated there.
Adapting to the virtual business service then this will improve the customer service that is offered as this will help reduce the time that a customer stands in the queue as paying services will be done in a quick way. The businesses that embrace the use of credit and debit cards then it is easy for them to access their credit payment through the online virtual terminal. This method is essential in that it removes the geographical barriers for buyers as it allows for both international and national selling.

New this week:
THE ANNOTATED MEMOIRS OF ULYSSES S. GRANT Edited by Elizabeth S. Samet. (Liveright, $45.) If you liked Ron Chernow's recent biography of the 18th president, this annotated version of Grant's memoirs provides the context necessary to appreciate one of the most celebrated pieces of presidential writing. TEAM HUMAN By Douglas Rushkoff. (Norton, $23.95.) A professor of media theory, Rushkoff files field notes from the war between man and machine, arguing gloomily that technology is currently winning, quickly chipping away at our humanity. BOOKENDS By Michael Chabon. (Harper Perennial, paper, $16.99.) Chabon offers a glimpse at his influences in this compilation of previously published odds and ends. Much of the book is made up of introductions to eclectic cult classics. THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS By Salka Viertel. (New York Review Books, paper, $17.95.) Born in a remote province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Viertel made her way in the 1920s to Hollywood, where she had a career as a screenwriter and became a confidante of Greta Garbo. Her memoir captures both the intellectual world she had to leave behind — one peopled by the likes of Kafka, Musil and Einstein — and the home and refuge she made for herself in Los Angeles. DIDEROT AND THE ART OF THINKING FREELY By Andrew S. Curran. (Other Press, $26.95.) In this new biography, Curran looks to remind us just what a radical Diderot was in his time.
& Noteworthy
In which we ask colleagues at The Times what they're reading now.
"I read a lot of contemporary fiction, but the books I keep coming back to in recent months are American noir novels from the '40s and '50s. I've recently read more Raymond Chandler than I have at any time and can't quite figure out why except that the dark underworld he brings to life, a boozy and beautiful Los Angeles, is one I can get completely lost in. The latest novel of his I can recommend is THE LADY IN THE LAKE, about two missing wives, one rich and one poor, and the men who want them back, and not always for the right reasons. People often forget how extremely funny Chandler is, particularly when it comes to painting a room: 'The whole place was full to overflowing with males in leisure jackets and liquor breaths and females in high-pitched laughs, oxblood fingernails and dirty knuckles.' And I especially enjoy how he describes female characters: She was 'smart, smooth and no good. She had a way with men. She could make them crawl over her shoes.' He also evokes California landscapes better than just about any writer, making it easy to smell the jasmine and feel the heat from the Santa Anas, air, he writes, 'hot enough to blister my tongue.'"

No miles today.{ i know! No excuses}
Busy trying to crunch numbers, and get things in order. Hard to do when you have to butt heads. Something that should have ran an hour turned into a marathon on selling me on something I can not do. As a parent, it is not in the funds. I can not budget it in. It just will not work. Kids view they do not want that. They{the kids} want to do what they like to do, and shine, and they want to be able to have fun in the process of doing it. If that makes sense. It is not fair for a group of adults that are asked to provide and make decisions, BUT only to be told what we are going to do. So why do you need us?? It is really hard to make something out of nothing. Something that was ran into the ground, and to many taking for their own personal gain.
I am ranting!! I am so mad.
The other day, I was walking through the house and I kicked an board I use under my bike for resistance. Well… let me say, I can not walk normal on it. My one toe is purple, and part of my foot is too. Swollen right now. throbbing but hey what can I do. I have to keep moving.
Man oh man, do I hear that beach calling me. And no not the local one. 2 weeks! And not here. Still waiting to hear on the damn test!!! I guess I will find out in the am.
Allergy testing finally done. My arms hurt. Now it is maintenance. Gonna try to reduce my daily inhaler in 3 months. And all the antibiotics I was taking, I am allergic too. That's why I wasn't getting well and staying sick all the time.SO the Doc wants to retest me on a round of them in the office and see what happens. I think that is kinda scary.
Hey we can keep the dog and the kitties. 🙂
Mgreene I was not watching tv. I was volunteering. 🙂

Brady to put out conditioning, nutrition book
Book publisher Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that it has acquired the rights to a strength training and nutrition book by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady that will be called "The TB12 Method: How To Achieve A Lifetime Of Sustained Peak Performance."
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The publisher said that the 320-page book, that is scheduled to hit shelves in September, will be "a gorgeously illustrated and deeply practical 'athlete's bible' that reveals Brady's revolutionary approach to sustained peak performance for athletes of all kinds and of all ages."
This isn't the first time that the 39-year-old, five-time Super Bowl champion has sought to capitalize on his methods that have contributed to his longevity.
He has the "TB12 Sports Therapy Center" by Gillette Stadium, which is open to the public. He sells a nutritional manual on his website for $200, where he also peddles TB12 branded snacks, protein bars and granola. Brady also has a deal with meal delivery company Purple Carrot. Brady-inspired meals, which are high in protein, plant based and gluten free, sell for $78 for six meals.
For various reasons connected to his philosophy on peak performance Brady doesn't eat peppers, eggplants, tomatoes or any dairy.
The hardcover version will cost $29.99, while an eBook will cost $14.99.

I have been neglecting this blog. As some of you know I have another blog about Bella, our new puppy. And I am afraid I have given Bella's blog more of my attention than this one.
This blog is my New Year's resolution, and I am not willing to get up on it.
I think I need to adjust some of my conditions on the blog. I enjoy writing about the tv shows more than the food.
So I will continue to write about tv every week. But I think I will change the food portion of the blog. Instead of making a special meal every week and writing about it, I will write about a meal I made during the week. Special or not. I may write about how I reheated a frozen pizza. Because realistically I don't make a lot of fancy food. But then again I don't make a lot of frozen pizza either.
I am going to post tomorrow about a few dishes I made during the last couple weeks. At the time didn't think were "special" enough but now I think I want to share my experiences about them.
New Year's resolutions are hard to keep up throughout the year and sometimes they just need to be adjusted. Hopefully this will work out better.
Plus since I am the judge and jury I reserve the right to make more changes for the good of the resolution and me, of course.

(OR – You Just Can't Skate When You Shoot Yourself in the Foot)
Late last week, about a half a dozen Progressive Conservative constituency offices received phone calls from Steve Hogle, spokesman for the Katz Group, and the Arena District proposal. Hogle, about as friendly a guy as you'd ever hope to meet, kindly offered to help them answer any questions that they, their MLAs, or their constituents might have about the proposed downtown arena – and about the potential use of provincial Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) dollars to help fund the arena development. He even offered to leave his phone number, so that any constituents with questions or concerns could call him directly.One of those calls went to the constituency office of Thomas Lukaszuk, MLA for Edmonton Castledowns, as well as minister of labour and immigration.
Lukaszuk, to put it mildly, was not happy.
For him, the issues was three-fold.
In the first place, he argues, constituency staff are employed, not by the Stelmach government nor by the Progressive Conservative party. They are not government employees – they are employees of the Legislative Assembly, whose duty it is to help all constituents. They are not supposed to get involved with political or partisan issues. If the calls had gone to MLAs themselves, or to MLA offices at the legislature, he says, he still would have had a problem. But calling apolitical constituency staffers, he says, was not acceptable.
"I like Steve," says Lukaszuk. "I don't question his motives. I don't think he meant badly. But a phone call like that sends a false message to Albertans that the Government of Alberta is somehow involved in this process."
Lukaszuk says the province is already giving the city roughly $2.3 billion in discretionary infrastructure dollars, over a 10-year time frame. If City Council opts to use $100 million of that provincial money towards the cost of the arena, rather than the cost of roads or transit or sewers, that's the city's choice.
"$100 million is a very small part of what Edmonton will receive. They are the city's MSI dollars, and we've told the city, what you decide to do with your MSI dollars is your business."
That's was really irked him about Hogle's calls.
"Don't put yourself ahead of the process," he says. "There's an insinuation that these are provincial government dollars, and that MLAs are going to be involved in messaging. Calling MLAs leaves an impression that City Council has already made the decision to use MSI dollars for the arena, and they have not. If I were a city councillor right now, I'd be furious."
It's terrible optics, he adds, for the very interest group that's lobbying for money to be calling constituency offices, and offering to speak to constituents.
"The last person I would ever refer a constituent to is to the person who would be the recipient of the dollars," he says. "It has conflict of interest written all over it."
Some of his constituents, he says, are enthusiastic backers of the downtown arena project. Others are deeply upset about the use of public funds to help subsidize a professional sports franchise. Either way, he's not interested in getting caught in the middle.
"Frankly, I think the project is a good project for Edmonton. But the issue of public dollars going into this arena is a controversial one. When you have your constituents divided that way, the last thin you want to do is get involved. You have to allow the process to take its course, and let the duly elected members of City Council make their own decision, and stand by that decision."
Let us, for the sake of argument, give Hogle and the Katz Group every benefit of the doubt. Let's assume that Hogle, who's not necessarily an expert on parliamentary protocol, called constituency offices naively, not understanding their special apolitical nature. Let's assume he called the constituency staffers because it's summer vacation, the legislature isn't in session, and he thought calling the local storefronts made more sense than calling the official legislative offices. Let's assume, too, that he offered staffers the option of giving out his phone number to voters with the best of casual, friendly intentions, just to help clarify the Katz Group's position on MSI dollars. Let's assume that Hogle only meant to be helpful, and that somehow, his good intentions got misunderstood or misconstrued at second or third hand.
Even with all that benefit, all that doubt, the Katz Group strategy was extraordinarily ham-fisted and tin-eared. Lukaszuk is quite right. Ed Stelmach, as he heads out the door, has nicely side-stepped the issue of arena funding – leaving his successors to deal with any further funding commitments. At this point, it might make perfect sense for Hogle, et. al., to be taking Tory leadership candidates for lunch. But calling local PC constituency offices crossed the line. (Icing, we'd call that, on the rink.)
The timing was particularly terrible, coming as it did, right in the middle of the public furor, over the news that the Katz Group has also been negotiating with the Enoch First Nation about the prospect of building the new arena on reserve land, near the band's thriving hotel and casino, instead. The Katz Group apparently never intended that news to leak. And I can't actually condemn them for having a Plan B in the works. The Enoch site wouldn't be my first choice, but it's not a ridiculous notion. It has excellent connections to the Whitemud, the Yellowhead, and the Anthony Henday, it's got ample room for parking, it's already got practice rinks, a theatre/concert facility, its near West Edmonton Mall, and not all that far from the eventual WLRT line. I'm sure the neighbourhoods edging the reserve would be livid about the traffic, but it's not the most far-fetched idea I've ever heard. Still, the optics for the Katz Group couldn't have been worse – since the leak made it look as if the Oilers were trying to threaten or blackmail civic leaders at a critical time in the arena negotiations.
It's hard to understand. Over and over again, just the Katz Group seems to be winning its PRs battles, just as it seems to be winning over politicians and public consensus, it shoots itself in the foot. When it comes to the arena negotiation process, the Oilers organization seems to have an unparalleled ability to be its own worst enemy, to annoy the very people – like local politicians – whom it most needs to be its allies.
For his part, Thomas Lukaszuk isn't attributing sinister motives to anyone. But he is perplexed.
"What they did, I think, was a short-term lapse in judgment," he says. "But it's funny – I think they're almost creating enemies they don't need to have."

Raising Awareness for Mental Health
Mental health is defined by mentalhealth.gov as our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting how we think, feel, and act. Mental health conditions currently affect one in five people in America, with more than half of the conditions beginning by age 14 and 75 percent developing by age 24. Detecting signs and symptoms of mental health issues as early as possible is important to developing appropriate coping skills. Throughout May, SCF celebrated Mental Health Awareness Month to help further awareness around this important topic.
The National Alliance on Mental Health reports that warnings signs of a mental health concern can include excessive worrying or fear, thoughts of suicide, feeling sad, change in eating habits, mood changes, and much more. For children, signs can include a change in grades at school, anxiety, worry, temper tantrums, frequent disobedience or aggression, or nightmares. It is important to get connected with someone if you or someone you know is experiencing any signs of mental health challenges.
On April 15 and 16, the Alaska Native play The Winter Bear, written by Anne Hanley and produced by the Perseverance Theater Alaska, Inc., was performed at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. The play has been performed in many Alaska communities since 2005 and is supported in part by Southcentral Foundation and various grants. The play shares an important message by telling a story about an Alaska Native teenager who believes suicide is the only option until an Athabascan Elder shows him how to use traditional culture and knowledge to work through his despair and find his true voice. Annie Huntington-Kriska is an SCF Grants Advisor and the daughter of Sidney Huntington, who the play is about.
"The play encourages people to talk about suicide," Huntington said. "It's about the strength of our Native culture and our traditional ways of saving lives and building resiliency. Just as Southcentral Foundation encourages and bases much of its work on story, The Winter Bear promotes story telling as a part of culture and encourages people to be involved in and use culture to find reasons to live."
On May 9, 16, 23, and 30, Southcentral Foundation Behavioral Services Division held a community meet and greet in the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center lobby. During the event, employees and customer-owners had the opportunity to find out the different behavioral services that are offered at SCF, how to get referred to services, and where to find them. In addition, participants had the opportunity to complete a personalized card that was in line with the theme for that week. The completed cards were then put onto a wall in the ANPCC.
If you would like to find out more information on mental health conditions or are experiencing any signs, contact SCF Behavioral Health at (907) 729-2500.

14 Sep 24th Sunday
24th Sunday
Dear OLPH Family and Friends,
We have reached the mid- point of Mark's Gospel and there is a radical change in the Evangelist's approach. Jesus has been teaching in Galilee. He moves from displays of proving his divinity with descriptions of healings and speaking with power and authority. He now turns for Jerusalem and begins to focus on teaching his closest disciples about what it means for him to be the Christ, God's anointed one. He wants them to know that in taking up his cross that he does so willingly. He begins to show his true humanity by allowing himself to suffer and ultimately to die.
Jesus invited the Apostles to take up their cross and follow him. It was not a message they were anxious to hear. Peter knew that if his Messiah is going to suffer, so will his followers. Jesus simply told the disciples to "follow me." Staying with Jesus, in spite of his warning that he and they would suffer, was what constituted the group as disciples. Having heard about the cost, they continued to listen to him.
Last Sunday, we considered the need to have our ears opened in order to hear Christ's message. This Sunday, the scene opens with Jesus asking the disciples what they have heard about him. They responded with people's opinion. It seems that there was popular talk and plenty of confusion about Jesus. After letting them talk about what they had heard, Jesus terminated the opinion poll and put them on the spot: "But you! Who do you say that I am?" That was the question of their lives. Why were they on the road with him? What were they seeking? How far were they willing to go? Peter proclaimed Jesus to be the Messiah, the Son of God.
At this stage of the Gospel, Peter and the disciples are like the deaf man whose ears Jesus opened. Peter, speaking and acting on behalf of the disciples, communicated two important things. First, he professed faith in Jesus. The, when Jesus told him his faith was distorted, he remained to learn more.
The journey to Jerusalem would be long and hard, and even when they reached the climax of the cross, the disciples hadn't comprehended Jesus' message. But they had the love and faithfulness to remain on the road with him, and that was all that was necessary. With the current scandals in the church, one might be tempted to leave. However, Jesus says don't leave – LEAD. Jesus says that he chooses to need us. How will we respond? As Peter said in last week's Gospel: "What you say Lord is difficult, but where can we go? You have the words of eternal life."
On this Catechetical Sunday we give thanks to God for our many wonderful Catechists. May God bless, preserve and keep them! May he bless up with many more good and faithful friends to share the Gospel! Peace and Blessings!
Fr. Ron

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is falsely claiming that the Kemper coal project would benefit Mississippi's economy. The truth is that ratepayers, who can ill afford higher electricity bills, are going to be stuck with up to a 48 percent increase to pay for an experiment.
Mississippi Power says that the huge upfront costs to ratepayers' pocketbooks ($2.7 billion) would be justified in the long-run because this plant will use relatively cheap and abundant lignite coal. This claim completely ignores the fact that there may be no long-run for the Kemper experiment.
The Department of Energy (DOE), which is providing hundreds of millions of dollars to Mississippi Power Corporation for Kemper, is requiring a four-and-a-half-year "Demonstration Period" for the project to determine if the experimental technology to capture carbon dioxide will even work on a large commercial scale. The DOE freely admits that "an unsuccessful demonstration remains a possible outcome." If the Kemper experiment fails, the DOE predicts that the plant would likely be converted to a natural gas-fired plant. For this reason, state and federal regulators have only approved the lignite coal mine's environmental permits for the four-and-a-half-year demonstration period — clearly acknowledging that this is just a trial project.
The Gulf Restoration Network has been working diligently with the State of Mississippi and the Army Corps of Engineers on limiting the enormous harm that the lignite mine will do to Mississippi's waters and wetlands. Surface coal mines are very damaging to land and have been shown to contaminate fresh surface water and groundwater. We have been assured that the environmental permits allowing the mine to open are only for four-and-a-half years. If the Kemper experiment is successful, the mine will have to reapply for their environmental permits with the State and the Federal government in order to continue.
The Kemper coal plant is not a normal power plant. Kemper is a hugely expensive test. The massive bulk of the cost (90 percent) of the proposed coal plant is for construction. A comparable natural gas plant is a fraction of the cost to build. There is a very real chance that the Kemper coal plant will fail its test and be converted to a natural gas plant. This is a risky gamble that Mississippi's utility customers are being forced to take.
It is clear that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has not taken into account the serious risks of failure for this experimental coal plant. Considering the rates could increase 30-48 percent with a successful demonstration, how much will rates go up if the experiment fails, and how will that impact Mississippi's economy?
