Kennebec River
From its origin at Moosehead Lake for more than 100 miles downstream to the head of tide in Augusta the Kennebec River flows through the heart of Maine. It supports a variety of game fish species, and diverse opportunities to fish for and catch them.
The Upper Kennebec: Moosehead Lake to Solon
The pools and runs in the 3 miles of the East Outlet from Moosehead Lake to Indian Pond are well known by fly fishermen for season-long fisheries for both stocked and wild landlocked salmon and brook trout. Wading is the most popular method in the East Outlet, though fishing from drift boats is increasing in popularity. At high flows a drift boat can provide access to water not reachable by wading in this 200 foot wide river.
Moosehead Lake's West Outlet is smaller with much less flow than in the East Outlet. Here is a chance for an easy 7-mile canoe trip through undeveloped forest land down to Indian Pond, and a great way to spend a day fishing for stocked brook trout or resident smallmouth bass.
Below Indian Pond, the Kennebec flows for 19 miles to Wyman Lake. This entire section supports wild populations of landlocked salmon and brook trout. Flows vary with releases from Harris Dam at the Outlet of Indian Pond, so anglers should pay close attention to what the river is doing and be prepared to react accordingly. The uppermost reaches flow through a deep gorge noted more for its whitewater rafting than for its fishing. Access into the gorge is limited. Below the gorge the gradient moderates, and although access to the river is still limited, there is more opportunity to fish this forested, undeveloped stretch. Route 201 follows closely the lower 9 miles, from The Forks where the Dead River enters the Kennebec, down to Wyman Lake. This section is easily accessible for wading anglers, and may be fished by floating in a canoe.
The Kennebec below Wyman Dam in Bingham is also known for wild salmonids: landlocked salmon, brook trout, and rainbow trout. Wading and casting from shore are possible in the 3-mile section immediately below Wyman Dam. A boat or canoe is required to effectively fish the flowage area comprising the remaining 5 miles above the Solon Dam.
The Lower Kennebec: Solon to Augusta
From Solon to Waterville the Kennebec River alternates between short stretches of fast water immediately below each of the five dams on this 47-mile section, to longer stretches of flowage above the next dam immediately downstream. In the upper 14 miles from Solon toMadison fishing is for both wild and stocked landlocked salmon, brook trout, and brown trout. Below Madison anglers will find populations of brook trout, landlocked salmon, and brown trout supported by annual stocking. Resident populations of smallmouth bass are also found throughout the river below Madison. They provide excellent action all season long, especially in each of the flowage areas.
The Kennebec River now flows unobstructed for 17 miles from the lower dam in Waterville to tidewater. Between Waterville and Augusta the river lies in a deep valley that is forested along both sides, and undeveloped on its slopes down to the water. Access for launching and taking out watercraft to travel this section is limited to three locations — in Waterville, Sidney, and Augusta. Although boaters travel through a very populated area of Maine, while on the river they are isolated from the human activity on the farms, the roads, and in the developments found above this valley. In addition to landlocked salmon and brown trout stocked in this section, and the resident population of smallmouth bass, anadromous shad and striped bass now swim all the way upstream to Waterville from the sea, providing new and exciting angling opportunities. This is an extraordinary natural resource, located only minutes from the State's Capitol.

Greenfield panel backs plan that could accommodate Mormon church
A proposal that would lay the groundwork for a Mormon church sanctuary on an unused section of Arlington Cemetery cleared the Greenfield Plan Commission on Tuesday.
Arlington Cemetery, 4001 S. 27th St., is asking to create three parcels, one of which could accommodate the church on its 5.1 acres.
The cemetery's request could be discussed by the Common Council, which must ultimately approve the plan, as early as next week, though a public hearing on the Mormon church plan itself won't be held until Dec. 4.
Planning commissioners also approved an unrelated request, a proposed meditation garden.
Kopp's Frozen Custard, 7601 W. Layton Ave., is proposing illuminated panels for the meditation garden it wants to create. Fence panels would be separated by glass artwork cubes, which can be internally illuminated. That issue could also be discussed as early as next week before the council.
Holz's 100th win highlights Falls' grapplers triumph over WA Central
Wrestling up a weight class, wrestler Bill Holz recorded his 100th career win Wednesday night for Menomonee Falls with a technical fall at 126 pounds.
More importantly, Holz, who happily posed with teammates for pictures with a sign commemorating the event, started a five-match win streak for the Indians against always tough West Allis Central, and that keyed a pivotal 40-22 Greater Metro Conference dual meet victory over the always tough Bulldogs.
"This was an important (team) win," he said. "If we'd have lost, we'd have been out of the league race, because aside from (West Allis) Hale, they're the biggest challenge we'll face this year (in GMC duals).
(As far as the weight classes go) It's kind of interesting. We're all taking our turns and moving around a lot."
And that's the way it's going to be most of the season said Falls coach Jim McMahon, as the Indians look to defend their Greater Metro title.

An employee at Jens Beverage, 4312 W. Howard Ave., called 911 to report an older man had just defecated in the business' parking lot at 6:10 p.m. Dec. 3.
The employee told the police officer an older gentleman with a walker came into the store and asked to use the restroom.
After the employee informed the man that the store does not allow anybody to use their restrooms, the man explained that he could not hold it any longer and asked for some toilet paper.
After the employee refused to give him toilet paper, the man walked outside, defecated in the garbage can, and then left the lot in a car.
Police attempted to make contact with the registered owner of the car but were unsuccessful.

Man tries to scam Greenfield business by claiming to be from We Energies
A man claiming to be a We Energies employee went into a Greenfield grocery store and demanded cash, stating the business was past due.
According to the Greenfield police report:
The owner of Holyland Grocery, 2755 W. Ramsey Ave., reported an attempted theft at 4:20 p.m. Nov. 27. The caller told police an unknown person, described as a white male in his 30s and wearing a white, lab-type coat, came into the store claiming to be from We Energies. The caller said the man demanded cash by stating the business account was past due at about 3:55 p.m. Nov. 27.
When the man was told there was no cash in the business, he said he would return in an hour. The owner contacted We Energies, who confirmed that his business was up to date in payments.
Ex-Greenfield police officer fined for throwing suspect into jail cell
A former Greenfield police officer was fined $1,500 Wednesday and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service for violently throwing a woman into a jail holding cell in July.
Thomas Roszak, 30, who was suspended following the incident, resigned from the department Nov. 1. He was initially charged with felony misconduct in office but pleaded no contest Wednesday to misdemeanor battery as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Glenn Yamahiro also imposed, but suspended, a 30-day jail sentence for Roszak, meaning he could be forced to serve that aspect of the sentence if he fails to meet the other conditions within six months.
In contrast to Roszak's attorney and the prosecutor's characterization of the offense as a shove, Yamahiro, who watched video of the incident, said it was more like the victim was thrown "like a sack of potatoes," according to her attorney.
Amanda Luke, 30, of Oak Creek had been arrested on charges of driving while revoked, and with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration and fleeing an officer.

A Greenfield police officer has resigned as part of a plea agreement to resolve criminal charges filed against him for throwing a woman violently into a jail cell.
Thomas Roszak, 30, was scheduled to enter a plea to a lesser charge and be sentenced Wednesday, but the case was reset to Nov. 27 because of an ongoing jury trial before Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Glenn Yamahiro.
Roszak was charged in September with misconduct in office, a felony, in relation to the July 27 incident, but is now expected to plead to a misdemeanor charge.
Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt suspended Roszak after the incident, and he resigned from the department Nov. 1, Wentlandt said.
Amanda Luke, 30, of Oak Creek, had been arrested on charges of driving while revoked, and with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration and fleeing an officer. According to the complaint against Roszak, he had removed Luke from a holding cell for booking, but when he ordered her to return to the cell she placed her hands on his chest and addressed him with a vulgarity.

Greenfield postpones debate on cell tower in residential neighborhood
A Greenfield Plan Commission discussion of a controversial cellphone tower proposed for a residential neighborhood had to be put off Tuesday because the AT&T application for the tower was not complete.
Four nearby residents came to Tuesday's meeting to object to the more than 70-foot tower. Typically, cellphone towers are not erected within residentially zoned areas, but this one would be on the property of a neighborhood tavern, which has commercially zoned.
AT&T has said it wants to erect the tower because the area has no or weak reception for its cellphone network.
Provided that the application is complete, the Plan Commission will welcome comments on the tower at its Dec. 10 meeting, when the matter is expected to be discussed again. However, an official public will be set for a later date.

West Allis school district buys defunct Heritage Christian building
The West Allis-West Milwaukee School District is buying a former Heritage Christian School building and likely will turn it into a new middle or elementary school.
The School Board unanimously approved the purchase of the property for nearly $1.9 million Monday night, Superintendent Kurt Wachholz said. Wacchholz said the market value of the building, which is in foreclosure, is about $5 million.
"It is a significant opportunity for us at that price," he said in a telephone interview.
Wachholz said only minor repairs such as painting would be needed, according to a property evaluation that was done. He said he expects the building could be used as a school in fall 2014, and community recreation programs could begin soon after the purchase.
The original building at 1300 S. 109th St. was built in 1921 and remodeled in 1960. The school district sold it in 1987 to Heritage Christian Schools, which completed a $9 million, 38,000-square-foot expansion in 2006 before running into financial difficulties.

From American Book Review:
Blood Clay is a little (it weighs in at just around two hundred pages), great American novel in story, character, and writing.
Ours is a country of immigration and migration, and one constant within that instability is a person's search for companionship in her new home, at a community level and a more intimate one, to be part of "the even numbers of the regular world." In this novel, Valerie Nieman's third—she also has a collection of short stories, a book of poems, and an NEA fellowship to her name—Tracey Gaines relocates to another state, leaving behind a marriage, a job, and her family. Almost immediately, a major local tragedy heightens Tracey's newness and her quest for acceptance within Saul County and with the individual she's closest to, a fellow teacher at A. O. Miller Alternative School, Dave Fordham. Dave, in turn, is cursed with "his loneliness, an outsider in his own home place."
Even the details in Blood Clay exude a particularly American atmosphere: Tracey is a northerner who moves deep into rural North Carolina tobacco country. When geography-based issues aren't the simmering—or explosive—heat beneath a relationship in this book, race, class, and gender are. The sanctity of individuality and personal property? Yes—that's one of the big matters in the investigation into the violent death of one of the school's young students. Justice, the media, gossip—"the rumors fly so fast, they grow wings and maybe horns and tails"—and that peculiar thirst for blood in a competitive society, "the moment of potential, the blood under the skin ready for spilling"? Most definitely those are all here....
From the North Carolina Literary Review:
From Our State magazine:
In Blood Clay, Valerie Nieman, a writing professor in Greensboro, tells the story of Tracey Gaines, who relocates to fictional Saul County, North Carolina, after a painful divorce. Despite her desire for a new life, Gaines discovers that it's not easy to assimilate in a small town, where generations of shared history bind people together. She manages to find companionship with a fellow teacher and with the feral cats that prowl the land around the dilapidated farmhouse.
Then Gaines witnesses a tragic event, for which she incurs some blame. The resulting ostracism not only compounds her loneliness, but also forces her to confront her own character flaws. As she works through the trauma, Gaines strives to create a sense of belonging — both in the community and within her own soul.
But fitting in remains a challenge, even for longtime residents of Saul County. Regardless of all the history citizens share, the community is changing: tobacco business wanes, young people move on, developers snap up farmland. Insiders aren't in after all, and personal histories can and do foster estrangement. "It's hard to come to someplace new and not fit in, I know that, but it maybe is worse to come back to where you're from and not fit in there anymore," a new friend tells Gaines.
Nieman, whose lyrical writing edges on poetry, tells this story with insight and compassion. She doesn't idealize the South: troubled race relations, provincialism, and phony politeness all play a part. But the novel also captures what makes the town humane, large-minded, and forgiving. The message is optimistic: Although life inevitably causes pain, we can still find a home.
From the Charleston Gazette-Mail:
"Valerie Nieman's third novel, "Blood Clay," is the deeply moving, elegantly constructed story of what happens when extraordinary violence happens to ordinary people; however, the story is about much more than violence.
Set in the small-town world of Saul County, N.C., it encompasses a great deal of history, private and public, as we come to know many of the denizens of Taberville and the surrounding region.
Tracey Gaines and Dave Fordham are single teachers at the A.O. Miller Alternative School. Living across the road is Orenna Sipes, a black single mother raising her two daughters. Artis Pennell, whose farm abuts Tracey's, is, like her, a divorced newcomer; but, unlike her, he has custody of a teenage son. Through the fates of these interwoven characters, Nieman works out the timeless theme who am I and where do I belong?
Events are set in motion early on when Tracey witnesses a tragedy involving a child. Her involvement -- what she did and didn't do -- not only disturbs her conscience but interferes with her ability to assimilate into a community worlds away from her urban Ohio and Pennsylvania. While the tragedy sets Tracey and her two neighbors on a collision course, Nieman wisely takes her time getting there. This is not a breathless blockbuster but a fascinating portrait of real people in anguished yet believable circumstances to which every reader can relate...
Not only her nuanced plot, setting and characters but also Nieman's poetic language brings her world to life. She paints the setting with precise, laser-cut visuals. Nieman's journalistic background shows in her tight economy of construction.
She offers a near-sociological view of this world, involves the reader deeply with several characters and provides true, aching insights about identity, both personal and cultural, and she does so in fewer than 200 pages. Not a word, image or event is wasted."
From Gently Read Literature:
"In her new novel, Blood Clay, set rural North, Carolina, Valerie Nieman is interested in the tangled social lines of the new South, the struggle of newcomers to belong, and of natives to keep their balance in changing times. Beneath the fascination with change runs a deep love for the changeless, the way the deep roots of a place can hold and comfort, despite the complications of both past and present.
Nieman's heroine, Tracy Gaines, has left a failed marriage and bad weather up north, and journeyed down to the red dirt tobacco country of Saul County, North Carolina. Here she falls in love with a "slouchy" old farm house, "whiter in the moonlight than in the day, half hidden by the cedars that reached the second story porch." The house, she believes, will, with a lot of hard work, allow her to earn belonging: "Resurrected board by board, the scraping and painting. . .would settle her in that place, make her a part of its history." Her efforts at the house are overseen by a pack of feral cats; they will take her food but won't come close. They—like Tracy herself—are not entirely sure she'll make it.
While the house has all the charm of a Southern romance, Tracy's job is another story, a tough haul, usually thankless, sometimes dangerous, in an "alternative" school for teenagers who are "behaviorally impaired," "emotionally damaged," or simply learning disabled with no place else to be sent. Also teaching at the school is Dave, an old-family, native of the place, who tried to leave Saul County for the big city of Baltimore. After a brutal encounter there, he has returned, a cripple in more ways than one: "I'm afraid I've turned into a racist," he says, "as well as a coward." Though born and raised here, he is, and in some ways is as much an outsider as Tracy.
She has also gotten acquainted with Artis, the divorced father of one of her troubled students, and a tobacco farmer whose land is adjacent to hers. But her neighbor's wide smile is misleading. When Tracy invites him over to drink a glass of tea and inspect her work on the old house, his smile fades. "Oh honey. Let's just stay neighbors," he says before turning and walking off to his truck. "You got too much cat in you for a hound like me."
Still new to the challenges of the house, the job, and local society, Tracy, driving alone on a dark country road, is witness to a terrible accident involving a child. In the days afterward, rumors and charges swirl. Some claim that the new teacher from up North caused the horrible accident. Some say she has sought to cast blame unfairly on Artis. At the very least, others say, she had not acted honorably, but stood by in shameful cowardice; a true person of the place would have taken action to save the child. This last view is one that Tracy is not sure but what she shares herself. The accident and its aftermath embroil her in a police inquest, and bring her head-to-head with both Artis and the child's mother. Tracy is still "new," but the accident tugs her painfully but deeply into the life of the hamlet.
Though the story is tautly suspenseful, it has its beauties too, especially in the close, sensual exploration of the old house and the woods surrounding it. In a "midden" pile that she finds in the wood, for example, Tracey excavates evidence of the past, an old belt buckle, a little stoneware bowl from the 1930s, an ancient jar of cobalt blue. As she digs in the heavy red clay, she is rewarded by the scent of the deep and on-going life of the place, the "yeasty smell of the opened ground," as good as 1bread baking in the kitchen.'"
Linda Brinson posted this review on Briar Patch Books:
This is one of the best contemporary Southern novels I've read in a long time. There is no exaggerated humor here, no condescension, no frothy romanticism – but there is plenty of truth, and a story you won't soon forget.
Tracey Gaines is a transplant from Ohio to North Carolina, fleeing cold winters and a marriage gone bad. She found a job teaching in a rural area at an alternative high school – an alternative for the kids who can't or won't succeed in the mainstream public high school. And then she fell in love with and bought an old farmhouse in that red-clay tobacco country.
Tracey has been wounded emotionally, losing confidence and heart because the marriage that started out with such passion and high hopes ended with surprisingly little emotion other than emptiness and disappointment.
Her fellow teacher, Dave Fordham, has been wounded physically as well as emotionally. After an "incident" when he was teaching in inner-city Baltimore, trying to "save the world," he's retreated to his North Carolina home.
So, Tracey is "not from around here" and suspicious of Southerners motives and actions, while Dave knows that one can have strong Southern roots without being wrapped in a Confederate flag.
Nieman uses their contrasting viewpoints deftly. They provide depth to one of the great strengths of this novel, its honest dealing with the complexities of race, class and prejudice in today's rural South. Just as Tracey likes to dig for humble treasures in the old dump at the back of her property, this book unearths bits of the human history that make us who we are.
There's a strain of violence through this novel, starting with a grisly event near the book's opening that's pivotal to all that follows. Though Tracey, as always, tries to do the right thing, tries to help, her rewards are suspicion, notoriety, criticism and retaliation. What happens forces her to examine her own emotions and actions and to ask whether she really did all that she could have.
Blood Clay, never resorting to stereotype, creates a 21st-century rural North Carolina that rings true. Nieman knows what she's writing about as she describes the empty-eyed students, the Mexican migrant workers, the aggressive boys on four-wheelers, the sullen black mother who resents the Northern do-gooder's attempts to help.
And, oh, the language – the rich prose and vivid descriptions. Nieman is able to write passages that soar to poetry without ever seeming self-conscious or getting in the way of the book's strong plot. That is a rare gift.
Here is Dave, trying to teach his students about alliteration:
… His students leaned back in their chairs, dulled by the dull beige tiles and dull mustardy walls.
"Land," he said. "Leaves, less, loam, loan, leaving."
On wide-spreading land like this you should be able to grow anything, but couldn't grow these kids. If you cut them loose in the fields, they would all die, sit down and die in the midst of plenty they couldn't see any more than they could understand the last sound that came out of their mouths.
The terrible incident that shapes the book jolts Tracey and Dave out of their wounded, drifting existence. And even as they confront their human weaknesses, they find strengths. Readers, too, will find much of value in this thought-provoking and beautifully written book.
Valerie Nieman's third novel, "Blood Clay," is set in the fictional North Carolina county of Saul and concerns newcomer Tracey Gaines, who has moved south from Ohio to escape her painful divorce.
Gaines has bought an old farmhouse, which she is renovating, an apt symbol for the new life she is trying to build. She finds work as a teacher in an alternative school where every day is a trial, given the angry and damaged students she must try to reach and teach.
Gaines is at first delighted by the friendly smiles and bright "howdys" she gets from the folks in Taborville, but soon discovers the Southern hospitality she has heard so much about is superficial. It takes a lot more than a nod and a grin to be accepted as a member of the community.
One person who seems to welcome Gaines with sincerity is her colleague, Dave Fordham. Though Dave was born and raised in Saul County, he is almost as estranged from the community as Gaines. After college, Dave left home to teach in Baltimore, in an inner-city school where gangs ruled the streets and the school. After a brutal attack that leaves him crippled in body and spirit, Dave returns to Taborville where he, too, feels alienation.
At the crux of the novel is a tragic accident involving an elementary student, Lakesha, whose mother, Orenna, seems to resent the kindness Gaines shows her daughter. One simple act of charity — Gaines buys a coat for Lakesha after seeing her in a thin sweater — brings icy stares from the girl's mother. But those glaring looks are nothing compared with the hostility Gaines gets after Lakesha's tragic death — a horrible death witnessed by Gaines.
Weaving together a tale of small-town culture with various kinds of disconnected citizens, Nieman courageously approaches subjects that continue to haunt the South: racism, ignorance and violence. The pain of families and their dysfunction sits side-by-side with tobacco culture. Yet, there is beauty here and a sense of pride in history:
She loved the view from here, over the trees to the fields and beyond, the low wave of worn-down mountains. This house had stood for a century. The people who built it had lived here long before that. This was a place where people found a way to stay put.
Gaines wants to stay put for the first time ever; in spite of the tragic, limping life she has made, her desire is to claim it.
Valerie Nieman does something unusual in her new novel, "Blood Clay," set in the tobacco country of rural North Carolina: The "big" event, in which a young black girl is killed by a pack of dogs, isn't the climax of the story. Instead, it comes near the beginning; the rest of the novel explores its complicated aftermath. A neighbor, Tracey Gaines, witnesses the attack. Rather than plunge in and risk a mauling or death herself, she runs away to call for help. Is Tracey a coward or has she acted sensibly? Opinion in Saul County is divided, because Tracey, a recently divorced Ohio transplant, doesn't quite belong there.
How and why people belong in a place, how others fail to fit in and how a few, who used to be bound to the community by blood and by the blood-red clay where tobacco has been lovingly hand-cultivated for generations, suddenly find themselves on the outside -- this is the focus of Nieman's nuanced exploration of the contemporary South. Tracey strikes up a friendship, then something more, with Dave Fordham, a fellow teacher at the local alternative school. Dave once left Saul County to teach at an inner-city school in Philadelphia, where gang members beat him viciously. Lame and permanently frightened, he has changed too much to settle back into his old place -- and people he has known all his life don't look at him the way they used to.
Even animals take part in this dance of belonging and not-belonging. The feral cats at the old farmhouse Tracey is restoring have to decide whether to belong to her -- to accept her food and affection -- or remain wild, hungry and free. Tracey identifies the dogs who attacked the girl as belonging to Artis Pennell, a tobacco farmer she has already offended by mistaking his down-home neighborliness for romantic interest. The dogs are quarantined pending Artis' trial for involuntary manslaughter, and Artis, like Tracey, finds that he has detractors as well as supporters. The tobacco business, crippled by anti-smoking campaigns, no longer assures his son, Jim, an identity and a livelihood, so Jim, one of Dave's students, drifts into delinquency.
It's not the first time Southerners have been torn by a sentimental attachment to something toxic. Tracey, fresh from the North, sees only a variant of the old dark story, but Dave, in courting her, constantly challenges the stereotypes, enlarges her understanding -- as Nieman enlarges ours in the course of this taut, realistic novel that's a tragedy, a love story and a comedy of manners, all at once.
From Books for Readers, No. 140
Valerie Nieman's latest is BLOOD CLAY, a highly realistic story about people you feel you could know and be friends with. They get caught up in unexpected, gripping, and horrific events. Something very unusual and ugly happens early on, and the novel is about the repercussions of this event, and how the main character tries to live with what she has witnessed. The victim is a child, and the main character is not heroic– she may be, in fact, cowardly or possibly culpable in some way. I won't describe the actual event, but I will say it is deeply grounded in issues of rural contemporary America, in this case, a small town and the surrounding county in North Carolina.
The main character and the other point of view character are both teachers in an alternative school for kids. He is a native of the small town, returned home reluctantly after physical and psychological trauma. She is a newcomer, fleeing personal rejection and a failed marriage. She is emphatically seen by the local people as an outsider, in spite of having farm roots. Both of these people are damaged by life, but no more damaged than perhaps most of us, and their damage is solid, believable, and not treated at all melodramatically. This is one of the joys of the book– that however shocking or terrifying the events, people wake up the next morning and make tea, feed the cats, go to work.
Indeed, their relationship to work, too, is one of the triumphs of the novel: the characters don't self-destruct in the face of their suffering, but rather work– both at jobs and on their living spaces. What is sometimes forgotten in fiction is that the quotidian work of surviving and healing is as realistic as despair. But Valerie Nieman does not forget this. In BLOOD CLAY, teaching and taking meals– and the very clay and plants of North Carolina are the ground of the story. They go out to dinner, they dig around in old middens to rescue cobalt blue glass bottles. Feral cats are important characters, as is an old farmhouse in bad repair.
The seminal violence of the story happens quickly, shockingly, with no thrumming drumbeat of foreshadowing, so that the reader is as shocked and paralyzed as the main character. With similar realism, Nieman creates an unpleasant and possibly dangerous neighbor of the main character who certainly does some bad things– but could do much worse. Guns are discussed and appropriately hung in truck cabs if not on walls, and they are not window dressing. On the other hand, the novel never puts forth violence as a catharsis. Things small and large are seen in perspective in this apotheosis of everyday people living ordinary lives– which means lives full of discovery, love, anger, violence, struggle, cowardice, failure and hope. What is unusual and deeply satisfying here is the insistence on how the story goes on and we keep on, living through our failures, facing our fears, reaching for one another.

There are two things it seems everyone knows about San Diego: 1, that the weather is perfect; and 2, that KGB is the rock-solid rock station. It's one of a handful of radio stations in America that have been true to rock n roll�and no other format�for 4 non-stop decades. It's an honor and a thrill to be side by side with Coe Lewis doing mornings in this damn near perfect town! Coe will tell you�it's all about the KGB listeners. When you win, we win. It's up to you and to us to keep rock alive and well in San Diego!
Here's my radio deal: In the teenage years: Soldering iron in hand, built a 100 watt pirate station in Dix Hills, New York. A FCC visit to my parent's house ended the fun 3 months later. Comedy. After college and for 20 years (almost to the day) I was the WBAB/Long Island VP/Programming and Morning DJ. Favorite moment: The WBAB No-Skin, No-Win Tanning Contest. Judging by the babes who's pictures line the walls of KGB, I know you've witnessed some of those yourself.
The next decade was spent as Program Director and DJ at KGB's sister station, WAXQ, Q104.3/New York. Favorite moment: When the legendary WNEW-FM declared that rock was dead and that they were changing formats. We jumped in and went, over time, to #1 Adults in New York. Manhattan is a one-of-a kind place to live and work.
In 2008, I got hired as Program Director and Afternoon DJ at KLOS, to the north in LA. We had plenty of fun there as well, with KLOS being one of the few stations to share in KGB's legacy of 4 decades of rock loyalty. Got to love Southern California�no doubt!
It's the middle of 2012 and here we are. I'm hoping your support of rock in San Diego will bring the legendary KGB to even greater heights. We're all in this together!
Thanks to Listener RuZZ for these awesome up close and personal pics of ZZ Top, Floggin Molly and Dan Akroyd!

Professor of Law
J.D., Emory University School of Law, 1996
B.S., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1986
Margo A. Bagley teaches courses on patent law, international and comparative patent law, intellectual property, and property.
After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering in 1986 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Bagley worked in products research and development with the Procter & Gamble Company, where she was named Food Product Development Excellence "Rookie of the Year" and was co-inventor on a U.S. patent for improved peanut butter. Later, she worked as a senior research analyst for the Coca-Cola Company. Through her corporate experience, Bagley developed an interest in the law of intellectual property.
Bagley received her J.D. in 1996 from Emory, where she was a Robert W. Woodruff Fellow, an editor of the Emory Law Journal and was elected to Order of the Coif. She is a member of the Georgia bar and is licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Bagley worked as an associate with Smith, Gambrell & Russell and Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner before becoming an assistant professor of law at Emory University in 1999. She was a visiting professor of law at Washington & Lee University School of Law in fall 2001 and at the University of Virginia School of Law in fall 2005. She has also taught international patent law and policy courses in Germany, China and Singapore. She joined the University of Virginia faculty in 2006.
Bagley is a member of the board of directors of the Public Patent Foundation and also served on the National Academy of Sciences Committee on University Management of Intellectual Property: Lessons from a Generation of Experience, Research, and Dialogue.
In 2013, Bagley co-authored "International Patent Law and Policy," the first stand-alone casebook focusing on international patent law in more than a decade. (More)

text: It has been said that the most effective leaders have the unique ability to translate vision into reality, and that's certainly true with the members of the Executive Board of the Tobin College of Business Alumni Association (TCBAA). These dedicated men and women unselfishly share their time and talents to ensure that graduates of The Peter J. Tobin College of Business and its predecessor, St. John's College of Business Administration, remain connected to each other and the University. Current Executive Board members include:Frank Riggio '80CBAPresidentDemetrios Frangiskatos '00CBAFirst Vice President Petrina DiGangi '91MBASecond Vice PresidentMicheline Sayour '82MBASecretary "I'm very driven to reconnect with the alumni who've not been close to St. John's in the past," said Riggio. "I want to reach out to those people and bring them back, particularly in the form of networking. I know the other Board members agree that we need to make networking and reconnecting with our alumni an important part of our initiatives going forward. I want to create a culture where the Tobin College of Business alumni stay connected to St. John's after graduation." One of the ways in which the Board hopes to accomplish this important goal is by making a concerted effort to reach out to alumni of different ages and varying personal and professional backgrounds. They are aware that while all TCBAA members have much in common, there are very specific needs and interests that pertain to various demographic groups within the larger population. It is this diversity of interests the Board is hoping to address. "With this current Board, we've got a really nice, diverse group of people coming from different industries, different histories and a variety of backgrounds with the same passion and the same mission," noted DiGangi. "At the end of the day, our job is to capitalize on that diversity and let all of our alumni know that, whenever they graduated, the TCBAA is the team that they can go to for whatever they need. We want to bring them back to St. John's, to feel the passion and commitment that the University has for them." Recognizing that today's students are tomorrow's alumni, the Board has also undertaken the task of working with the Office of Alumni Relations to create initiatives that bring these groups together in mutually beneficial ways. The goal is for alumni to serve as role models for the students, giving them a sense of what things are like in the professional world. In addition, such interactions will offer participating alumni the opportunity to meet and become acquainted with gifted young people who might join them as employees or colleagues after graduation. "We need to show the students that our graduates are the people who've done things," explained Riggio, "and we need to get these successful alumni to events where they can tell their stories to the students. We want to send the message to the students that the alumni are just like them in so many ways. That's inspirational, and it strengthens the connection between students and alumni, and between the alumni and the University." The desire to give back resonates strongly within every member of the Board. Each embarked on a successful career after graduation, and credits the University with providing them with the solid academic foundation that helped them enter and succeed in their chosen profession. They are grateful for what was done for them, and consider their service on the Board as a way to maintain their personal connection to St. John's while sharing their good fortune with others. "For me, getting involved with the TCBAA was two-fold," remarked Frangiskatos. "On one hand, I wanted to make sure that I was able to come back to the University and give back. I think that one of the more valuable things that you can do as a professional is to interact with the students and give them your feedback and insights about what's going on in the professional world. I also wanted to build my professional network with St. John's. I made the right choice, because everyone on the Board is prepared to take a little bit of a different step, one that is more forward looking as opposed to short-term looking. I'm excited to be a part of that effort." Like many alumni, Sayour drifted away from the University after receiving her M.B.A. The road after graduation led her to a successful career as an Independent Consultant, and it took nearly three decades for her to return to the University that nurtured her through her graduate degree. Her desire to become re-acquainted with St. John's led her to contact the Office of Alumni Relations, where fellow alumna Desiree Henry '10MBA, Assistant Director of Constituent Programs, encouraged her to become involved in TCBAA activities. From there, it was a quick step to a position on the Executive Board. "Once I graduated I kept in touch with a few other alumni, but then over time I wasn't very involved with the University anymore," she said. "Then, when I had a little more time on my hands, I thought it would be a nice thing to reconnect with St. John's. I was directed to speak with Frank Riggio and told him that I'd like to reconnect and do some volunteer work for TCBAA. He later asked me if I wanted to become involved with the Board, and so here I am as Secretary. We're really going to do great things, and I'm so glad to be back!"

FS#780 - Hatch should always follow changes to its contour
DetailsI drew a closed polyline, hatched it (on the same layer) and then moved a node... the hatch didn't change as one would expect.
It would be great if hatches would follow any changes to its contour. |
Yes it would be useful, especially if you are changing a lot of contours.
However I quite like the fact that you can independently drag and move the Hatch itself to various other coordinate positions and I also like the fact that once you've created a hatch you can delete a boundary afterwards, leaving only the hatch - which again can be modified etc..
Maybe some Hatch options could be added to the current drawing preferences dialog - including an option to 'follow' contour or a new Hatch widget created.
Just my thoughts here;)
I never thought of hatching being useful without its boundary. But I admit my imagination may be limited by the fact, that I only draw technical drawings of machine parts. I am curious what use case that might be.
I agree that some additional hatch options will suit many users with quite different applications of CAD.
I have used hatching without boundaries for laser cutting (etching) patterns/details like brickwork for façades for architectural models and details like ground shrubs/gravel for sitemaps.

Each spring, high school students from the Museum Ambassadors program facilitate a Family and Community Day for the public.
Chances are that if you have been to the museum in the last 30 years you have intersected the work of Mel Horvath. Horvath is one of the men behind all the brochures, flyers, and programs. He also runs the museum copy center.
Rembrandt drew to hone his skills, record a motif, test compositional ideas and ways of expressing emotion, and provide instructive models for his students. Upon his death, nearly 2,000 drawings by Rembrandt and his followers were found in his studio.
The region's premier summer music festival is just two months away. Tickets are now on sale for Solstice! The Cleveland Museum of Art invites the community to celebrate summer's long days and hot nights at Solstice on Saturday, June 30 from 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.
This magnificent walnut sideboard makes quite the focal point in Gallery 207 where it is currently on display.
Maya Meets Mommy's Latest Assignment
Spring is in the air, and that means it's time for another Museum Ambassadors Community Day this Sunday!
Every spring, Sawsan Alhaddad looks forward to the Cleveland Museum of Art's Parade the Circle. She has participated in the event for more than 20 years. She started to participate when her daughter Sarah was six years old and it's been an annual tradition for them since.
While our contemporary galleries are being re-imagined and reinstalled, the first of new relational art pairings are now featured in the Reid Gallery.

The following list is made up of questions we are commonly asked. If you cannot see the answer to your questions here, please fill in the form on the contact us page - we will endeavor to respond to any questions or concerns you may have within 2 working days.
Tickbox.net recently launched a new site, and we moved over to a completely new system. As part of the migration to our new database, we removed users that had unsubscribed from Tickbox.net.
You may have unsubscribed from our mailing list at some point if you didn't want to receive the email newsletter any longer. Even if you did ask to be removed from the mailing list, you were still able to log in with the old site, and still able to complete surveys. If you're details used to work on the old site, but not on the new site, it's likely that this is the reason.
We would still love to have you on our panel however, and ask that you please re-register with us.
When you first register, you will be sent two welcome emails from us - the first one will have details about your account (username and password etc.) and the second will contain a link to the profile survey. You must complete this profile survey in order to activate your account. As soon as you've finished the survey, you will be able to log in, and take part in all our other surveys.
If you didn't receive the second email, or if you think that you're email account has blocked the email, or has deleted it thinking it might be spam, then please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send you the link again.
The list of postcodes is always growing and changing, so if you find that the profile survey won't let you continue because it does not recognise your postcode, please let us know by emailing email@example.com, so that we can add it to our list.
To become a member, complete the registration form and we'll send you two emails explaining how to activate your account. One of the emails will contain a link to a profile survey - it only takes a few minutes, then you can get cracking with those surveys. Please note, you cannot log into the site until you have completed this profile survey. If you think that you're email account has blocked the email, or has deleted it thinking it might be spam, then please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send you the link again.
If your account remains inactive for six months, we will send you an email asking you if you still wish to be a member. If you do not reply, we will de-activate your account, and you will no longer be able to take part in the surveys.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by 29 and single Stylish and comfortable
These shoes are really very smart looking and extremely comfortable right out of the box. They will stretch out some with wear. I started wearing them in college and I immediately loved them. I wear them barefoot (without socks) all the time and they could not be more comfortable. They are sharp looking and go pretty well with everything. I wear them for casual occassions, work and even church. Really an excellent and very durable shoe. When my current ones wear out I will certainly buy another pair.

Rated 5 out of 5 Excellent/Comfy Shoe
I just recently got these and they are amazing. So durable, I wear them in the grass, in the mud, on sidewalks and everywhere in between. They are so comfortable and you just can't get any classier!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sandra Top Shoe
Bought this shoe several times over the years for my son. There are no shoes comparable to the Sperry brand in quality, style and comfort. Shipping was very quick and FREE!

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Kelligirl The Gray leather shoe is not Gray at all
I purchased the Gray leather shoe as shown in the photo for a family member. When I received the shoe, the color code was Ash Grey. It did not resemble the Grey Leather shoe in the photo at all. Beware, if you want a Grey Leather shoe this is not the shoe for you. If you want a shoe that resembles the color of cigarette ashes, then buy it! When I spoke to a customer service rep regarding the color issue,they had no explanation as to why this happened. They did let me return the shoe and they said they would reimburse the shipping charge.

What the Press say
"Jenny Needham kicks off her walking boots and laps up a bit of rest and relaxation on the edge of Windermere.
It was a cold, cold day in mid-January, and the car park at Linthwaite House hotel was full. The comfortable lounges were abuzz. And that evening, almost every table in the two atmospheric dining rooms was taken. Not bad for a hotel in winter, in this country, in the middle of a recession.
So what's the secret recipe? Well, there's the convivial atmosphere; the efficient but unstuffy service; the absolutely scrumptious dishes cooked using locally sourced ingredients… and the lovely views of Lake Windermere from the wraparound conservatory.
There's the location, on a quiet hillside a stone's throw from busy Bowness; the extensive grounds with their own tarn; and the comfortable bedroom suites. On a cold, cold weekend in mid-January, it was the perfect relaxing retreat and we loved it.
The 30-bedroom hotel is owned by Mike Bevans, who says he's been in the business "for ever". He worked in Brighton for most of his early career, before heading for the Lakes to help develop the Langdale estate timeshare business. When that was taken over, he decided to move on.
"For the first time in my life, I was jobless and someone said, 'Why don't you buy your own hotel?' So, probably quite foolishly, I sold my house and got some backers." After looking at about 45 properties east of Windermere – "location is everything" – he stumbled upon Linthwaite. It was the perfect place: a bit out of town but with 14 acres and wonderful views of the lake.
"It was a prime site," says Mike. "After all, we are selling peace and tranquillity, a respite for people from their busy daily lives; that's what we do." The hotel was originally built as a five-bedroomed house at the turn of the 20th Century, probably as a rural bolthole for a wealthy Lancashire mill owner and his family. By 1990, it had become a rather unprepossessing two-star hotel, "okay, but deadly dull," says Mike.
"We had a budget of £250,000 and spent almost double that completely renovating it." And what a transformation. "We didn't want it to look like an archetypal country house hotel with swags and chintz and that was the brief to the interior designer," says Mike. The outcome was "Raffles-meets-Ralph-Lauren", a style which has evolved over the years into something a bit more contemporary without losing any of its charm.
As you enter the hotel, there's a carved mahogany fireplace with crackling fire in the hall – in an effort to be green, the logs come from the woods just outside – the sitting rooms are unflashy and comfortable with huge piles of magazines and tables fashioned from old travel trunks. The little bar just off the sitting room has a fish tank embedded in the wall.
There are two dining rooms, one the former billiards room, which leads onto another. Here, two walls decorated by someone with a mirror fetish reflect back the flickering flames from the candlelit tables.
Our bedroom was neutral, calming and comfortable, with a huge dressing room squeaky-clean bathroom and enormous bed.
Upstairs again is the magnificent 56 square metre Loft Suite with glass roof for star-gazing, the perfect retreat for honeymooners. At the front, the terrace is undergoing something of an extension and decking is being added. "We want to take advantage of the views and encourage non-residents to come up and have lunch outside in the summer," says Mike.
In the hallway there's a row of brightly coloured wellies in different sizes which can be borrowed when you want to wander through the landscaped wood to the summer house by the tarn. It was once used as a reservoir for the
Storrs area of Bowness and is fed by natural springs. Gung-ho guests are welcome to swim here in the summer. "I've been in when it's really hot," says Mike. "The water is so pure you can drink it as you swim."
As it was still winter, a swim didn't really feature in our plans, so we wandered down into Bowness and took a 50p ferry ride across the lake for a walk. The Windermere Ferry – the only one in the Lakes to carry cars – takes about 15 minutes to cross from Ferry Nab just south of Bowness to Ferry House at Far Sawrey. Back in Bowness later that day, we did a spot of shopping. Naturally, every other outlet is an outdoor clothing store and the woman in Edge of the World who sold me some much needed gloves asked where we were staying. "Linthwaite," I said. "Lucky you," she replied.
Ironically, for a hotel in the heart of walking country, Linthwaite does everything in its power to persuade you to kick off your walking boots and forget about the great outdoors. Asked about the secret of a running a successful hotel, Mike says: "It's so important you don't intimidate people. Even though I hate the phrase, you have to make them feel at home. That's why my business is called The Unstuffy Hotel Company."" - Jenny Needham, Northern Echo, January 2012
What our Guests say
"Our expectations of your hotel, as described on the web site, were fully met. The room was well appointed, the service was excellent and the food very good. In truth, there is nothing that we did not like during our stay." JW, Wirral, April 2012
