As school counselors, we play an integral role in supporting crisis planning and crisis response. The School Counselor Blog Facebook community has come together to share resources related to trauma and crisis response. I will be adding to this list as I become aware of more resources. Please add resources you know about in the comment section of this post.
I urge you when you return to your schools on Monday to review your school crisis plan, whether you are a seasoned school counselor or a school counseling graduate student. If your school does not have a crisis plan assemble a team to make one. If you are a graduate student not yet in a practicum or internship site, start a conversation at your university about crisis planning and response.

After being term-limited out of the City Council in 2001 and losing in a special election for the seat in June 2008, word has come to the Pol Position desk this week that he is being pushed to strongly consider a run for his old seat against newly elected council representative from the 30th District, Elizabeth Crowley.
It is widely thought that Crowley won the seat in the November election on the coattails of the Obama Democratic line. In the June 2008 special election in the district (which covers Glendale, Maspeth, and parts of Ridgewood, too), Anthony Como beat Crowley and Ognibene - only to lose to Crowley in November.
Most thought Como, an attorney who worked for former State Senator Serf Maltese as well as the Queens district attorney, would run against her this year, but he is apparently being tapped for a job in Mayor Bloomberg's administration.
Altogether now, and breathe...

FOOD- THE DISH- Purple people feeder: Main Street Market grows
Charles Roumeliotes puts the final touches on Calvino Cafe, which opened in the Main Street Market this week, as its namesake strikes a pensive pose in a photo behind him.
The Main Street Market, that large purple building on the east end of West Main, which has become its own little foodie universe (Feast!, Orzo, Seafood at West Main, Albemarle Baking Company, The Organic Butcher, Hedge the florist, the Seasonal Cook, and Gearharts' Fine Chocolates all call it home), welcomes a new tenant this week– Calvino Cafe.
Named in honor of the late Italian writer, Italo Calvino, whose work one of the co-owners and his future wife had both been reading when they met (hence the significance), the new Italian-themed cafe is taking the place of the previous Italian-themed cafe, Milano, which moved to the pink warehouse on South Street.
"We've always had a passion for coffee," says co-owner Charles Roumeliotes, who, along with his partner Ken Wooten (the Calvino reader), opened Orzo Kitchen and Wine Bar right next door just two years ago. "When Milano moved, we decided the timing was perfect for us. "
Roumeliotes and Wooten have totally renovated the small space, which features warm earth-tone colors and natural wood, a small, light-filled seating area, and a cozy bar. And Roumeliotes says there will eventually be an outdoor seating area when a new awning gets attached to the building.
Of course, in addition to coffee from Shenandoah Joe, the restaurateurs couldn't help creating a food menu as well, which will feature gourmet breakfast paninis (think egg, roasted peppers, and Italian sausage grilled in one of their fancy new panini grills) and flatbread wraps made with bread from the nearby Albemarle Baking Company. Oh, and they've also created a smoothie menu.
Winky's has original Big Jim BBQ, Fellini's now has lunch
If you're feeling hungry, Dish has a couple of news items you might be interested in. First off, Juanita "Winky" Hunt, who revived Big Jim's on Angus Road and re-named it Winky's, tells us that they are now serving the original Big Jim's BBQ. As was previously reported, Brent Lunnen bought Big Jim's old catering operation on 10th Street, and, according to Hunt, he's hired Big Jim's old cook and cooked up some BBQ with the same recipe.
"We sampled a bit of it the other day," says Hunt, "and it's just like the original."
Second, it appears that Fellini's #9 on the Downtown Mall is now serving lunch. There's a choice of salad, pasta, and bread option for $7.95 that includes a choice of spaghetti and meatballs or plain sauce, lasagna, cannelloni, and shrimp with linguine. There are also antipasti like caprese and bruschetta, and desserts like tiramisu, carrot cake, cheese cake, and a gelato of the day.
Can't decide where to eat?
Let the Hook's online Foodfinder decide for you! While the ole' Foodfinder (www.readthehook.com/foodfinder) has hundreds of restaurant listings (and reviews and ratings...which we need more of people!), searching through them all to find a place to eat can be overwhelming. So we've added a little random search function. Just click the link and see what the Charlottesville food god's serve up. Nothing strike your fancy? Hit the random search button again in the upper right-hand corner of the page for a fresh selection. Okay, so it ain't Google Earth... but we think it's pretty nifty.
Some openings
A new Chinese restaurant called Asia Specialty is opening in the old Bohème space on Market Street, across from City Hall, and will be offering both take-out and dine-in service seven days a week. But don't expect your typical American Chinese food, as the owners say they want to introduce folks to the real thing, such as a Chinese firepot, also known as a Mongolian firepot, in which you cook meat and vegetables yourself in a pot of hot soup stock– kinda like Chinese fondue.
The Café at Monticello is now open in the new Monticello visitor's center. For years, visitors had few choices at the Little Mountain Luncheonette, a small stand serving a limited menu of snacks and sandwiches.
The new place is being run by Brix Terrace Café owner/chef Karen Laetare, known for her delicious Mediterranean/California-style food (bruschetta, paninis, antipasti platters), as well as her homemade Italian pastries. Look for the cuisine quality bar to be raised considerably at Monticello, a development that TJ himself would surely welcome.

It's scary how one box of cereal can define your whole breakfast existence! Kellogg's Fruit Loops have been around since the early sixties unlike me who was an 80's baby. Toucan Sam is one of the most recognizable character brands and also has a slogan "Follow Your Nose" that is hard to forget when you have been eating Fruit Loops for as long as I have. So what is it about this cereal brand that still has me all hot and heavy for them after all these years? Read the rest of this entry »

First flight Abortion Drone, Poland 2015
The Abortion Drone was a success, women in Poland receive medical abortions. The drone departed from Germany and landed at the opposite side of the river in Slubice, Poland.
While the drones were crossing the German/Polish border , the German Police tried to intervene but the drone pilots were able to safely land the drones at the Polish side.
Two Polish women swallowed the abortion pills. The German police confiscated the drone controllers and personal iPads. They claim there was a violation of the Arzneimittel gesetz. After a extensive investigation charges were dropped in May 2016.
For more images of the Abortion Drone flight click here
The current restrictive Polish abortion abortion law creates social injustice and affects especially the women without financial means or information.
Abortion reality in Germany and Poland
According to the World Health organisation "In countries where induced abortion is legally highly restricted and/or unavailable, safe abortion has frequently become the privilege of the rich, while poor women have little choice but to resort to unsafe providers, causing deaths and morbidities that become the social and financial responsibility of the public health system" and "Laws and policies on abortion should protect women's health and their human rights. Regulatory, policy and programmatic barriers that hinder access to and timely provision of safe abortion care should be removed." [4]
Germany, a country with 80 million population and one of the lowest abortion rates in the world (together with Belgium and the Netherlands) had around 99700 abortions in 2014 according to the German National Statistics bureau.[5][6]
The official number of abortions in Poland, a country with 38 million inhabitants, is only 744. If the abortion rate in Poland is as low as in Germany, in reality at least 48000 underground abortions take place in Poland every year!! Probably this number is much higher, as there is a lack of appropriate sexual education and accessible contraceptive services. Estimates are that at in reality least 5 times more, or 240000 abortions are done in Poland (44 per 1000 women in child bearing age have an abortion every year in Poland compared to 7 in Germany) [7]
There is also an urgent need for compulsory non-biased sexual education and easy access to all forms of contraceptives, including sterilization (which is also prohibited in Poland)[8].
Abortion pills
The medicines used for a medical abortion, mifepristone and misoprostol, have been on the list of essential medicines of the WHO since 2005 and are available in Germany and almost all other European countries. However this medicine is still not registered in Poland.
Scientific research by the World health Organisation has shown that medical abortion can easily be done by women themselves at home without supervision by health professionals. A medical abortion has the same health impact as a spontaneous miscarriage. Usually women themselves without additional medical supervision handle a miscarriage. [9]
In Poland, a pregnant woman cannot be subjected to punishment for illegal abortion or for any other action leading to a miscarriage.[10]
For pregnancies of up to 9 weeks (63 days) a medical abortion is done:
1- A woman swallows 1 tablet of 200 mg Mifepristone
2- 24 hours later the woman puts 4 tablets (800 μg) of misoprostol under the tongue (sublingual).
Human right violations
Even women who would be allowed to have an abortion under the restrictive law, are refused treatment by doctors and hospitals such as the case of the 14 years old raped girl P, who was denied access to safe and legal abortion services due to harassment and intimidation by hospital workers, the police and others. Alicja Tysiac suffered severe health consequences and won the case against the Polish Government In European Court of Human rights for denying a her a access to a lawful abortion, but she is still affected by this.
Women in Poland are furthermore denied the possibility to benefit from scientific advances since medical abortion, one of the essential medicines of the Wold Health Organisation, is not registered in Poland. (7)
Restrictive abortion laws like the one in Poland are violating international human rights agreements such as the right to health.
The World Health Organisation's definition of health is: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
The right to health has been recognised in numerous international human rights treaties, such as: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Article 25.1 in 1948; the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination: Article 5 (e) (iv) in 1965; the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: Article 12.1 in 1966; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women: Articles 11 (1) (f), 12 and 14 (2) (b) in 1979; the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child: Article 24; the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families: Articles 28, 43 (e) and 45 (c) in 1990, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Article 25 in 2006.
In October 2011, Anand Grover, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, submitted a report to the UN General Assembly which stated: "Criminal laws penalising and restricting induced abortion are the paradigmatic examples of impermissible barriers to the realization of women's right to health and must be eliminated. These laws infringe women's dignity and autonomy by severely restricting decision-making by women in respect of their sexual and reproductive health"
The Abortion drone campaign is a collaboration between Women on Waves; Ciocia Basia, Feminoteka Foundation, the 8 th of March women's rights informal collective "Porozumienie kobiet 8 marca", Berlin-Irish Pro Choice Solidarity, Codziennik Feministyczny, and the Political group Twoj Ruch.

Rumors can be powerful forces in the economy, as evidenced by an 8.1 percent rise in Electronic Arts stock today following unsubstantiated rumors that Microsoft was interested in buying the publisher out.
What analysts and strategists are calling "unsubstantiated chatter" had a profound effect on EA stock today, rising 8.1 percent to $20.01 during Nasdaq trading this afternoon.
"There's talk that Microsoft might be interested in acquiring Electronic Arts. It's unsubstantiated chatter, but it's out there," said Frederic Ruffy, an options strategist at WhatsTrading.com in New York.
And sometimes being out there is more than enough. Microsoft shares also rose during the day, gaining 1.1 percent to $26.05, despite analysts claiming that such a move makes no sense whatsoever.
But Trip Chowdhry, an analyst at Global Equities Research, said Electronic Arts was not on Microsoft's "radar screen" based on his industry contacts. "Our contacts just don't see Microsoft buying Electronic Arts, no synergies whatsoever, and also not Microsoft's corporate primary focus right now," Chowdhry wrote in an e-mailed note.
A quick glance about the internet finds that analysts largely agree - this doesn't seem like a likely move. Still, we've reached out to Microsoft and EA alike, and will update the story once we receive any response.
UPDATE: We just received a comment from Microsoft. "Microsoft has no plans to purchase Electronic Arts." Clears that right up, now doesn't it?
Electronic Arts stock up on takeover talk-traders [Reuters - Thanks David!]

NY boy honored for inspiring Breaking Barriers essay
NEW YORK -- "It doesn't matter what anybody else says, follow your dreams."
Sage advice, to be sure, especially when you consider where it came from.
Those words were spoken by 2013 Breaking Barriers essay contest grand prize winner Luke Lunday, who will be entering sixth grade in the fall.
Luke has cerebral palsy, and so has sometimes been privy to limiting expectations of what he can and can't do.
He didn't listen.
"Basically, I was told that I really couldn't do that much that everyone else could normally do," Luke said. "But so far, every expectation has been smashed to smithereens."
One thing Luke was told he wouldn't be able to do was ride a bike.
So, every day for two years, Luke's mom, Erin Lunday, took her son to a grassy hill near their home and let him practice -- without training wheels.
Now Luke can ride a bike just like any other kid.
A teacher had Luke's entire class at West Point Middle School in West Point, N.Y., write essays for the contest, but Luke never thought he'd win.
But win he did.
His essay, which detailed learning to ride a bike, as well as his struggles in gym class, was selected by a panel of judges out of a field of thousands.
In addition to a laptop, he won a set of Breaking Barriers T-shirts for his class and a school visit from Sharon Robinson (daughter of Jackie and ambassador to the program). Luke also won a trip to the 2013 All-Star Game.
That's where, prior to being recognized on the field at the Home Run Derby on Monday night, Luke reflected on the experience he had with the Breaking Barriers program.
Was he a baseball fan?
"Not really," Luke admitted, "but I think I'm going to become one."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bruce Bochy called his San Francisco Giants together for an impromptu pregame team meeting with some disheartening news: They will be without Melky Cabrera for the remainder of the regular season.
Cabrera was suspended 50 games Wednesday for a positive testosterone test, a devastating blow only 90 minutes before the Giants lost their series finale to Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals 6-4.
Suddenly, San Francisco's playoff hopes are unclear minus one of the club's top hitters.
"We're disappointed," Bochy said. "Melky was having a real nice year for us. Our thoughts are right now, we move on. That's all you can do. That's all you can do whether it's an injury or something like this. This team will remain focused on trying to win ballgames. That's where we're at right now. That never changes."
Brandon Crawford hit a two-run single for the Giants, who fell one game back of rival Los Angeles in the NL West race after the Dodgers won at Pittsburgh.
"We lose one of the best players, but we have to move on," center fielder Angel Pagan said. "We've got a good team and we've got to keep playing. There's nothing we can do about it."
For the Giants, losing the game was secondary to losing Cabrera. The news broke about an hour before first pitch, and even Bochy was planning to play Cabrera until he got word.
Major League Baseball announced Cabrera tested positive for testosterone — and he won't be back until either next season or at the earliest the playoffs, depending how far San Francisco were to advance.
"My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used," Cabrera said in a statement released by the union. "I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down."
Cabrera is batting .346 with 11 home runs and 60 RBIs in his first season with San Francisco and is five hits shy of 1,000 in his big league career.
"Ultimately, it was just a bad decision," catcher Buster Posey said. "That's all I'm going to say."
Strasburg (14-5) capped Washington's longest road trip of the season by winning his third straight start. He outpitched Tim Lincecum in the process.
Danny Espinosa hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the third inning, Jayson Werth drove in three runs and Kurt Suzuki added a sacrifice fly for Washington, which won a fourth straight series and now heads home for key series against division opponents New York and Atlanta.
Strasburg struck out seven and walked four in six innings, allowing two runs and four hits.
"He pitches. Guys talk about his power stuff but he knows what he's doing out there," said Suzuki, who came to the Nationals in an Aug. 3 trade from Oakland. "He's got all the hype around him. Being on the outside looking in, you always wonder. Being in a different league, and now to be catching him, you see what it's all about."
Lincecum's latest shaky outing was over after just four innings. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner (6-13) lost his second straight start after winning three of the previous four for the Giants, who ended a stretch playing for 20 straight days and will have a day off Thursday in San Diego ahead of a weekend series with the Padres.
Lincecum learned of Cabrera's suspension from TV.
"Yeah it's shocking. It's something we're just going to have to deal with from here on out," he said.
Lincecum struck out five and walked one but labored for most of his brief outing. He threw 38 pitches in the first inning when Washington scored twice, then gave up a towering drive to right-center by Espinosa in the third before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the fourth.
That ended Lincecum's best stretch of the season — he had allowed only five earned runs over 20 innings going into the game — and left the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner once again searching for answers.
Strasburg, on the other hand, was quietly effective while beating the Giants for the second time in his career.
The Nationals right-hander allowed Crawford's single in the second after opening the inning with back-to-back walks but was otherwise strong in his first outing at the Giants waterfront ballpark.
He struck out Posey in the third after a nine-pitch duel with the All-Star catcher, then struck out the side in the fifth.
Espinosa's home run was his 13th of the season and fourth in his past 12 games.
The umpire crew turned to instant replay to determine whether Michael Morse's hit to lead off the fifth was a home run or a double off the top of the wall in right-center. The double stood, and Morse extended his hitting streak to 12 games.
Tyler Clippard pitched the ninth for the Nationals, allowing a two-out single to pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez and an unearned run when first baseman Adam LaRoche lost Pablo Sandoval's popup for an error that allowed Sanchez to score from second. Clippard held on for his 25th save.
Sandoval insists the Giants will move forward without Cabrera.
"We are a team. We're trying to make the playoffs," Sandoval said. "We're going to fight."
Notes: After the game, the Giants optioned RHP Dan Otero to Triple-A Fresno and they're likely to call up two hitters Friday. ... Posey will be behind the plate as much as possible in the coming weeks without him getting worn down. ... Nationals skipper Davey Johnson on Bochy: "Bochy reminds me of Whitey Herzog trying to get all those switch-hitters in there. Whitey liked to get eight of 'em in if he could." ... Cabrera had been in the original lineup batting third and playing LF. Gregor Blanco played in his place and added an RBI single. "We're going to fight it off and continue to play," Blanco said. "Just deal with it. Everybody passes through tough times." ... Lincecum failed to reach five innings for the sixth time in his 25 starts this year. Before this season, he'd done so only 15 times. ... San Francisco's Brandon Belt has nine hits in his past 16 at-bats and is hitting .407 (24 for 59) in his past 18 games. ... Home run king Barry Bonds attended the game and received a standing ovation when he made an early exit.

Vail Daily letters
Vail, CO, Colorado
Developer misses deadline, again
Since Oct.14, 2011, the Avon Town Council has been waiting for Traer Creek LLC's proper planned unit development application reflective of the Settlement Term Sheet that everyone told Judge Moorhead they'd make good faith efforts to implement.
Yes, that's 2011! The Lindholms have delayed everyone for nearly one year.
Finally, the Avon Town Council mustered the strength to yell, "Enough is enough!" when they firmly drew the line at 5 p.m. last Friday evening for Traer Creek's resubmission of an application containing only the 11 land use matters of the Settlement Term Sheet.
But Traer Creek did not resubmit last Friday — by its absence giving the Avon Town Council the biggest finger I have yet seen in this mess.
Does anyone really think Traer Creek intends to settle the lawsuit? They do not.
Recall that the litigation only arose because Traer Creek Metro District, the Lindholms' mini government that owes about $43 million in bond debt that's backed by a very nervous French bank, simply stopped paying its bill to the town of Avon for snow removal, police protection and other obligations. The metro district owes Avon about $3.5 million already.
It's clear that Magnus Lindholm's Traer Creek and the metro district are more comfortable litigating than settling the lawsuit, paying bills or responsibly developing the Village at Avon land.
I agree that enough is enough. Avon's Town Council must send the final message even more loudly and clearly: by voting "no" 7-0 at their meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
Tamra Nottingham Underwood
Working hard
An open letter to the Avon Town Council: I don't think any outsider can fully comprehend the amount of time and effort you have put in (and agony endured) to try and resolve the Traer Creek mess you inherited. But I have some idea.
As a part-time resident (and full-time taxpayer) of Avon, I want to say thank you and let you know how much I appreciate all you are doing in service to your town.
I have always had full confidence that you would continue to make those decisions that you sincerely believe are in the best long term interests (both financially and developmentally) of the town, its residents, and its taxpayers.
I realize it's a long way from being over. Hang in there. Thanks again.

Momma bears dangerous
As a resident of the local mountain communities and in light of the black bear situation in Eby Creek Mesa, I would like to voice my opinion on the matter.
While living in a mountain area as people, we need to understand that this was the wild animals' home first. We have encroached on their home.
With the very dry summer we had, there is not much forage for the bears outside of town. So that forces them to enter the communities looking for food. They choose trash, freezers, anything that smells like food they will go for.
It is our job to protect our property by following simple rules to keep bears away from our homes (trash in the garage, no pet food outside, bird feeders put away).
But as human beings, we do get lazy or push the limits in order to see the wild creatures, this is not good. This brings the animals into our communities, and they soon get used to humans and lose their fear of us. This is when people get attacked, charged or chased by the bears.
In most cases, if a male bear comes into your vicinity you can simple scare them off. But when a female with cubs comes up, they will become aggressive. Simple as a mother protecting her child, they will usually collect their cubs and leave, but when they don't they are very dangerous.
This is the part that people do not understand: The sows with cubs are way more dangerous. If you were jogging down the street and a sow was on the left side of the road and her cubs on the right and you are in the middle, you are the threat whether you are walking along, riding a bike, jogging, anything. You are keeping that mother from her babies, and she will attack in some cases.
After reading of the sow being shot and personally knowing the victim, I feel his actions were of the right choice. He was a father and husband protecting his family, as the sow may have been doing with hers.
When a bear comes into a lighted area or porch and is within arm's length everyone would act the same. Joe was acting upon his instinct to protect his family and other neighbors in the area.
The question is what if your young child, wife, husband, grandparent wondered onto your porch, your driveway or yard that the bear was on? How would you react?
This sow had become unafraid of humans and someone could have been seriously injured by her. Joe's actions to protect himself, his very young son and girlfriend were right in my book as a self-defense matter.
This is a price we must pay living in a mountain community. You're going to see bears, mountain lions, elk, deer, all the animals, somewhere. We are also a hunting community and you will see dead animals, and it is our job to protect these animals, as well, in our community.
Josh Wamboldt
Penalty too light
I believe the fine issued to the Eby Creek resident that shot and killed a female black bear earlier this week was not appropriate.
I understand that the Colorado Division of Wildlife is constrained under the laws established by the state of Colorado and am therefore not arguing with how the Division of Wildlife handled this case.
However, I do believe that Mr. Giegling was not cited for the full extent of his crime.
Black bears are considered by biologists as an animal with a low reproductive potential as they do not mate until they are 5-7 years old, mate at the most every other year (if summer and fall food conditions are good), and only produce an average of two cubs per litter. In addition, cubs remain with their mothers until 17 to 18 months of age. Therefore, Mr. Giegling killed three bears (one sow and two cubs).
The typical black bear can live up to 20 years old. Therefore, according to my mathematical calculations, Mr Giegling should be held responsible for the killing of not one, but at the very least 13 black bears (mother, her two cubs, plus 10 more years of producing at least two cubs every other year; that's 10 cubs).
These calculations do not include the reproductive contributions of the two cubs killed. (They cannot make it through the winter alone.) Nor do these calculations include the reproductive contributions of cubs the sow would have produced.
At the very least Mr. Giegling owes the state of Colorado $17,842.50. I also believe Mr. Giegling should have gone to jail and had his hunting license revoked permanently, as his lack of wildlife and hunting ethics and his inability to make sound decisions with a firearm makes him not worthy to be a part of the hunting community.
If he was not ticketed for discharging a firearm in close proximity to homes, thereby endangering his neighbors, he should have been.
In addition, Mr. Giegling's letter of apology is beyond understanding.
Mr. Giegling had the cover of his home to remain "safe" from the bear, not that the bear would have harmed him or his family (I do not believe it would have).
In fact, if the wildlife officer believed that Mr. Giegling was truly in danger, then the officer would not have given him a ticket. Game rangers are well trained in law enforcement practices and procedure, and if a ticket was issued, then it was deserved.
Mr. Giegling chose to react to a perceived threat in a very irresponsible manner.

Voted with my feet
I first visited Vail in 1974, at Outward Bound in the Gore Range, trucked from Piney to start a final expedition at Gore Creek Trail. Just finished solo, three days alone, fasting and self-reflection, we saw the opportunity to hit the golf course snack bar, hot dogs and hamburgers. Yes, with upset stomachs we struggled through the next day.
Periodically I visited Vail, enjoying skiing. Summers staying east on the ocean. In 1990, eight months in Vail. 1998, full time, raising two kids, enjoying all activities offered.
I recently relocated to the seaside town of Sag Harbor, N.Y. Friends in Colorado, long-time friends, new friends and family ask, "Are you OK with the move?"
I remind or explain how fortunate I am to have lived in many interesting and wonderful places. Sag Harbor, like Vail, is a great place to live, but different, trading mountains for ocean. I get out on my boats often. My kids are extremely water capable. The road biking is varied, the choices of routes numerous. Mountain biking is good, too, exchanging uphill grinds for sandy single track on bluffs overlooking the ocean. Camping, waking up on the beach or a boat is as special as waking up in a bowl at 10,000 feet surrounded by peaks. Herds of elk swapped for dolphins and whales.
There is a stark difference. The education system. Facts on education data are easily found on the web. A quick search yielded : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/11/state-education-rankings-_n_894528.html
New York state ranked fifth in the country for math/science. Colorado ranked 15th. Battle Mountain High School was in the bottom third statewide. Pearson High School, Sag Harbor, ranked in the top 500 public high schools in the United States. There are approximately 18,500 public high schools in the country. Pearson is in the top 3 percent nationwide.
My daughter is not continuing at Battle Mountain. She is attending Interlochen Arts Academy. Carrying a full math and science course load, she consistently says Interlochen is extremely hard versus the cruise at t Mountain. I support her, emphasizing this will better prepare her for her college experience and to do her best. I know she will.
My son is in Sag Harbor Elementary. The Sag Harbor Elementary School is a school that demonstrates it is proud to be an American school. The school has high teacher retention, good pay and benefits, and like the high school, it performs very well academically.
What stands out, unlike my Vail Valley public school experience, is they promote being an American school. Unlike the valley's schools, which seem to have lost their compass to being politically correct, this school does say the Pledge of Allegiance every day in the morning assembly and then sings one of our great patriotic songs. Throughout the school's philosophy is respect for all, personal responsibility, an embracing of the multicultural fabric of the community within the American culture. Religion is embraced, not shied away from or pushed aside as I saw in the public schools in Vail.
I do not know the compensation of the schools here and do not feel a need to find out because these schools deliver.
According to the Colorado Department of Education:
• Local teachers earn less than the state average, $46,398 versus $49,228.
• Local principals, administrators are paid more: $86,283 in Eagle County and $81,196 statewide.
• Eagle County Superintendent Smyser, paid $184,124 last year. Average statewide base salary is $111,362 for districts (1,200 and 6,000 students) and $124,054 (6,001-25,000 students). I ask, how well have your tax dollar been used in the education of your kids? The leadership appears to be grossly overpaid on average and your teachers underpaid.
Colorado as a state is in the upper third of the country, but Battle Mountain is at the bottom of the state's ranking. I recall alarming figures that the number of Battle Mountain students who had to retake high school courses in their first year of college was significant. I am quite sure there will be a strong reaction and I will not respond. I have voted for change with my feet.
My parental responsibility is to provide the best education for my children. I found Vail public schools deficient.

Great job hosting race
My hearty congratulations to the organizers, sponsors and the community of Vail for the excellent job in hosting the Tour of Vail criterium pro cycling race.
I have been to criterium races all over the country, and this event was as well run as any I have seen. The venue of Vail Village was extraordinary.
The pro race, with a peloton of about 150 impressive athletes, was extremely exciting. Kudos to all involved! I look forward to returning next year.

INDIANAPOLIS (TheBlaze/AP) -- A bus carrying teens coming home from a church camp crashed Saturday on a busy Indianapolis thoroughfare, killing three people and sending others to hospitals, officials said.
An Indiana Department of Transportation camera showed the bus overturned on its side near an Interstate 465 overpass. The Indianapolis Fire Department said five people were trapped inside after the crash Saturday afternoon.
The bus was carrying 40 passengers who are members of Colonial Hill Baptist Church in Indianapolis and were returning from a summer camp. The Fire Department said those injured included children and adults.
Indianapolis Fire Department spokesman Lt. Rita Burris confirmed that three people died, though she did not provide any details on the victims, including whether they were children or adults. She said survivors were being taken to area hospitals. Some of the victims were taken from the scene by helicopter.
Details about how the crash happened were not immediately available.
Roads near the scene were closed, and authorities were urging people to use caution in the area. A hazardous materials crew was in the area cleaning up diesel fuel that spilled in the crash.
Parents of passengers were asked to go to the church for information.
Here's a news report on the crash:
This is a breaking news story. Updates will be added.

Hot Water Plumbing St Ives
Your hot water supply issues are always our priority when you call our plumbing specialists, because no one likes to be without hot water. We offer same day inspection and repair for all residents of St Ives and surrounding suburbs. Whether it is a new installation, repairing a damaged system or replacing an old system, hot water plumbing St Ives is here to help.
What you need to know about water heater systems:
The most common fuels used for water heating are gas and electricity. Always look for a plumbing service that deals in energy efficient hot water.
- Electric water heaters that can heat water at any time of day are by far the most expensive option. Off-peak electric (which heat only when tariffs are lower) and gas systems have similar costs, depending on the tariffs you have to pay.
- Natural gas produces much less of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than electricity to heat the same amount of water. But it's not available everywhere.
- You can also get hot water from sun and air, which reduces CO2 compared to conventional electric heaters, in most places.
- In areas where you can't get natural gas, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is an alternative. But expect to pay about one-and-a-half to three times as much as for natural gas or electricity
Selecting the best water heating system for your needs whilst there are many water heater options can be a confusing task as it depends your property's roof space, off-peak electricity tariffs and access to natural gas.
Often a Heat Pump can be a great alternative if you choose not to have solar panels on the roof but still want to achieve the same efficiency as a Solar Hot Water System. We can also install thermostatic mixing valves that will ensure the safe delivery of hot water.
There are two main types of water heater: storage and instantaneous. Instantaneous heaters heat the water instantly, while in storage heaters it's stored in a tank.
Types of water heater systems:
- Electric Hot Water Heaters
- Gas Hot Water Heaters
- Solar Hot Water Heaters
- Heat Pumps
- Instantaneous Hot Water
- Gas Boosted Solar Hot Water Heaters
- Gas Continuous Flow Hot Water Heaters
Hot water issues you might face:
- Hot water system running inefficiently
- Hot water Leakages

The state's keystone plans to clean up wintertime pollution on the Wasatch Front won't be wrapped up in time to meet a federal deadline next week.
Regulators need to fine-tune their estimates of how much pollution will be cut and how much that will cost, smokestack industries and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency agree.
So, the Utah Air Quality Board, acting on the advice of the state's air-quality staff, voted Wednesday to pull back two of the three blueprints that detail how the state intends to bring PM 2.5 pollution in line with the latest federal standards. Air-quality staff reassured the board they already have a timetable for finishing up the two plans by the middle of next year.
Bryce Bird, director of the Utah Air Quality Division, said his team was disappointed the entire 23-part plan will not be complete in time to meet the Dec. 14 deadline, but he noted the board did approve 19 important pollution-cutting measures on Wednesday that will begin having an impact right away.
"Because it's a public health issue, we need controls in place," he said. "This [delay for the Utah and Salt Lake Valley plans] will give us time to focus on additional strategies."
Virtually everyone in northern Utah will be touched by the regulations, which affect graphic arts companies, auto-body shops, Hill Air Force Base, road salting and sanding and ordinary Utahns who must have their vehicles tested for excess pollution.
And everyone is expected to benefit, too. Microscopic soot from exhaust mixes with other types of pollution, gets trapped in Utah's valleys and builds up during winter inversions.
These episodes last days and sometimes weeks, shrouding the valleys in brown haze that poses a health threat, especially for the very young, the very old and people with heart and lung problems. Those episodes have made Utah stand out sometimes as having the worst air-quality in the nation.
The public has clamored for action, and the state's business community and Gov. Gary Herbert have called the issue an important quality of life issue. But geography and weather conspire with the pollution of daily life to make solving the problem a daunting challenge.
Plus, if the state doesn't come up with a workable plan, the EPA could potentially begin blocking the flow of federal highway funds to Utah and impose curbs on new construction.
Pressures like those have forced the air-quality division to search everywhere for pollution cuts.
This is the first time Utah has had to develop strategies for cutting PM 2.5, and now it needs a pollution-cutting strategy that will work in Salt Lake and Davis counties and parts of Utah, Tooele, Weber, Box Elder and Cache counties.
Ironically, the plan for Cache County was the only one of three overarching blueprints that the Air Quality Board approved Wednesday. Cache County officials say they won't subject their residents to the vehicle-emissions testing that the plan calls for.
They even have an attorney's opinion that the state can't force the county to comply. Craig Petersen, a member of the state Air-Quality Board and the Cache County Council, reminded regulators about those objections during the tensest minutes of Wednesday's meeting. He also referred to the county's proposed alternative emissions program to keep high-polluting cars and trucks parked when pollution builds up. But it's a program EPA has said it won't accept.
After the meeting, Petersen sounded more hopeful. "I think we are going to find a compromise that will be acceptable," he said.
Board members opted to drop proposed controls on large bakeries lapse because they hadn't been able to show it would be cost effective. Controls dubbed "reasonably achievable control technology" would cost the large bakeries more than could be reasonably justified, state regulators determined.
That's basically the problem with the big regionwide blueprints for the Salt Lake Valley and for Utah County. In those areas, smokestack industries, like the five petroleum refineries, said the state overestimated the pollution-control benefits and underestimated the costs companies would have to shoulder the proposed pollution equipment. EPA, which hired an outside contractor, basically agreed more work needed to be done on that.
Once state regulators nail down the numbers, the blueprints will once again go out for public review and board approval.

Cutting pollution a tall order:
Utah's air-quality team has spent three years looking for ways to cut pollution enough to meet federal limits. They have a tough job, because to keep PM 2.5 pollution under those limits, they have to look everywhere in homes, offices, heavy industry and cars and trucks for emissions of key pollutants that can be eliminated.
In the Salt Lake County area and in Utah County, they had to cut the pollution on a typical winter day by one third. But even with all their work, they still need 4.2 tons per day of reductions in Salt Lake County and 5.2 tons in Utah County to meet federal deadlines.
In Cache County, they had to cut emissions by almost one-fourth, and regulators believe the county can meet federal targets on time.

With the completion of Portland-based Laura Gibson's La Grande, we are a fair few records into her recording career. While it would be disingenuous to say that we got what we expected, the newest release is one which again demonstrates and accentuates its creator's talent. The previous full-length, 2009's Beasts of Seasons, was forlorn in nature, punctured with moments of melancholy and wistfulness – much due to the subject matter – but La Grande is bolder and more orchestrated in both senses of the word.
There is little which jumps out above the main components of voice and guitar, and therefore few distractions from the main attraction. It is also regularly upbeat, despite the tendency of Gibson's voice to float listlessly above the instrumentation. This much is made clear from the outset with title track 'La Grande' using a percussive beat as its opening salvo and indeed backbone.
Several times the pace changes but never drastically. Gibson makes it easy here for you to fall into a groove and never leave, rarely moving at more than a light canter. This is not a problem. Whilst her career so far has demonstrated a contemplative but occasionally complex nature, La Grande has several tracks which fall into the 'bona fide pop song' category. Strongest and most prominent of these is 'Fire', which burns brightly and strongly, fusing the odd Wild West sound (the type of plinky-plonky piano which is oft associated with saloon doors and a bar-room brawl) with an organ, and a more familiar choral performance. The darkness soon returns with the drawn-out opening verse of 'Time Is Not', another timeless tract which then blossoms boldly with a carefree chorus, splitting the song almost completely in two.
One thing it is simply not possible to escape from is the way Gibson sings. Her voice is not a startling one but it is incredibly delicate and deliberate, so smooth it is nearly beyond description. Not that this is a particularly new development in any way. 'Feather Lungs', then, is a suitable song title, especially as it is one in which the words seem almost trapped inside their owner, struggling to emerge, yet slide out they do.
Although La Grande is no huge departure from what Gibson has been practicing for years, it's a wholesome and welcome addition to a back-catalogue which has very few flaws, even if the moments which stand up and make you take notice are not numerous. This is no sin – if what you practice is as well-made and put together as La Grande then you should only be commended.

"I'm very into giving designers a look that's JUST for them," says Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals, backstage at Peter Som,"something completely tailored." With Peter's collection, it's very strong in terms of color and we both kind of felt the girls NEEDED color in their hair."
And, color he delivered! Weft after weft of hair was applied to the models' existing hair to help create a vibe of "great clothes with bad hair," according to Souleiman.
"I wanted the hair to feel completely unnatural--featuring greens, violets, pewter blues and a hue of silver," he said. "Applied in a patchy, spontaneous way--almost as if the girl colored her hair one day and then the next day decided 'Maybe I want to try another color.'"
The product used to create the texture was NOT a curling iron or flatiron, in fact the hair was styled primarily with the hands! The texture was created using Wella Professionals' Ocean Sprits. "It's a really great product to take away shine from the hair and create organic, dry texture."
Aura Friedman painted the wefts using Wella Professionals High-Lift Blondes and Color Touch Relights/Special Mixes.
"The color is really a fusion of metallic pastels--almost like this girl went to the salon and said I want this color and that color, I want everything and I want it to all melt together. Then she let it fade," she says.
"It's a great evolution of the pastel trend--but the metallic makes it more luxurious or dusty looking."
So what was the prep work like? It took a total of 12 hours, working with a very small team. "To show the team an example of how I wanted them to paint the wefts, I showed them French Impressionist paitings," she said.
"Some of the teals in the hair came from the water around the lilly pads. The Soft pinks came from the flowers, and the green came from the elaves in the buds. The palette works really well together--and I wanted the color applied in patchy way like that."
Here's how they colored the wefts. First, they lay them all out on a table. The artist had the colro in front of them, and they painted the color right on.
"I didn't worry about saturation of the strands," she said. "If some hairs weren't colored, that was ok--the idea is that it didn't have to look too well done or manicured--more organic."
MODERN had the honor to interview Rebecca of Zoya nails for the scoop of the look created specifically for Peter Som's color extravaganza. Three colors were used in a mint/orange French manicure: Sharon (orange), Neely (mint) and Jacqueline (beige).
"Neely is the base, and Sharon is the tip color," Rebecca said. "We're SO excited about the collaboration and the polishes will be available in limited quantities at zoya.com following the show."
