Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams: The Story of Black Hollywood
One World Ballantine Books, 2006 - Performing Arts - 411 pages
In Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams, Donald Bogle tells–for the first time–the story of a place both mythic and real: Black Hollywood. Spanning sixty years, this deliciously entertaining history uncovers the audacious manner in which many blacks made a place for themselves in an industry that originally had no place for them.
Through interviews and the personal recollections of Hollywood luminaries, Bogle pieces together a remarkable history that remains largely obscure to this day. We discover that Black Hollywood was a place distinct from the studio-system-dominated Tinseltown–a world unto itself, with unique rules and social hierarchy. It had its own talent scouts and media, its own watering holes, elegant hotels, and fashionable nightspots, and of course its own glamorous and brilliant personalities.
Along with famous actors including Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Hattie McDaniel (whose home was among Hollywood's most exquisite), and, later, the stunningly beautiful Lena Horne and the fabulously gifted Sammy Davis, Jr., we meet the likes of heartthrob James Edwards, whose promising career was derailed by whispers of an affair with Lana Turner, and the mysterious Madame Sul-Te-Wan, who shared a close lifelong friendship with pioneering director D. W. Griffith. But Bogle also looks at other members of the black community–from the white stars' black servants, who had their own money and prestige, to gossip columnists, hairstylists, and architects–and at the world that grew up around them along Central Avenue, the Harlem of the West.
In the tradition of Hortense Powdermaker's classic Hollywood: The Dream Factory and Neal Gabler's An Empire of Their Own, in Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams, Donald Bogle re-creates a vanished world that left an indelible mark on Hollywood–and on all of America.

DUNDEE — It appears students in Dundee will have to attend school for a longer year.
Dundee Community Schools wanted to add minutes to its school days to help offset the instruction time lost this winter.
Earlier this week, the district released a new schedule indicating that, beginning Monday, school days for all three buildings would be extended by 30 minutes for the remainder of the year.
School officials said they were in contact with the Michigan Department of Education to see whether the district would be able to add those minutes to make up the lost time.
On Thursday, Supt. Michael Dodge issued a statement saying students should report to school at their normally scheduled times.
"Dundee Community Schools, in an effort to be proactive for our students, parents and staff, looked into implementing the additional time to the daily schedule to meet the accrued inclement weather day requirement of the state," the statement said. "It appears that it is not feasible to implement such a plan, as the future directives of the state are too unclear and unpredictable at this time."
Mr. Dodge apologized for any inconvenience it caused district families.
"Our only goal was to help our students, parents and staff," he said.
Michigan law states each school must provide at least 1,098 hours of instruction time. A district may apply up to 38 hours of teacher professional development time toward the minimum number of hours required.
Schools can count six days, or the equivalent number of hours missed, due to weather- related closures or circumstances beyond their control, including fires, epidemics, utility problems, health issues, water or sewer failure and other calamities.
Last year, Michigan's Legislature passed a law that created an exception for only the 2012- 13 school year, which allowed schools to make up lost instructional hours by extending school days rather than scheduling make-up days in the summer.
No such law has been passed this year, and districts must adhere to the six-day policy.
Last week, the Michigan Board of Education released a statement encouraging public schools to replace the lost time with full days of instruction.

Arsenal Medical, a company based in Watertown, Massachusetts has recently decided to look into the possibility of developing a so-called injectable foam which, once inside an individual's organism, would expand up to the point that internal bleedings would be either slowed, or stopped altogether.
The researchers working on this project explain that their goal is that of lending a helping hand to battlefield doctors and first responders who more often than not find that they lack the medical equipment they need in order to save a soldier's or a civilian's life.
Apparently, this injectable foam would help them buy some time, meaning that, thanks to its putting a leash to otherwise uncontrollable internal bleedings, the soldier and/or the civilian could hang on long enough for him/her to be taken to a proper hospital.
MIT Technology Review explains that this injectable foam is basically made up of two different liquids.
It is Arsenal Medical's hope that, once work on this project progresses, they will figure out a way to safely inject these liquids into an individual's body through their bellybutton.
According to the same source, the company had to test roughly 1,200 mixtures before being able to pin down the exact two liquids whose combination would have made it possible for the right kind of foam to form inside the human body.
As Upma Sharma, presently employed as the head of the foam-technology research at Arsenal, puts it, "When we started, we thought you wanted something that would mix well with the blood because that would help it get to the site [of bleeding]."
However, "It turns out that's not right; you want something that doesn't mix with blood and instead pushes it out of the way."
Courtesy of a $15.5 million (€11.63 million) grant made available to Arsenal Medical by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, it is quite likely that this technology might soon the made available to soldiers and the doctors working with them.

Resona Chief Pledges to Repay Bailout Money Ahead of Plan
Resona Holdings Inc., the Japanese bank that was bailed out in 2003 with 1.96 trillion yen ($24 billion), plans to pay back most of the money still owed to taxpayers earlier than scheduled after profit reserves grew.
"We've built retained earnings and are not going to sell new shares," Resona President Seiji Higaki, 60, said in an interview in Tokyo on May 16. The bank will purchase 450 billion yen of the government's preferred shares earlier than the current target of late 2015, he said.
Taxpayers have injected 3.1 trillion yen into Resona since 1999, when Japan's banks were saddled with bad loans after an asset bubble burst, and the Tokyo-based lender still owes 872 billion yen. Resona has turned itself around since the 2003 bailout, posting profit in the past eight fiscal years by focusing on lending to retail customers.
"Our core business is retail banking, and what we need the most is to expand the number of household and corporate clients," said Higaki, who took the post in 2007 to join Chairman Eiji Hosoya in overseeing the bank's revival.
Resona, Japan's fifth-biggest bank by market value, is more profitable than larger rivals led by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. because it targets mortgages and small-business loans that carry higher interest rates, said Shinichiro Nakamura, a Tokyo-based analyst at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc.
"The bank will keep its focus on high-yielding lending such as mortgages and loans for smaller enterprises rather than large companies," Nakamura said.
Profit Growth
Net interest margin at Resona stood at 1.22 percent in March, compared with 1.04 percent for Mitsubishi UFJ, the country's biggest bank, and 0.78 percent for Mizuho Financial Group Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Resona's net income climbed 59 percent to 253.7 billion yen in the year ended March as provisions for soured loans fell, according to statements released last week. The bank forecast profit will drop 45 percent to 140 billion yen in the current year in anticipation of credit costs rising as government relief on loan repayments for small businesses expires.
Shares of the lender have declined 11 percent this year, underperforming the 84-stock Topix Banks Index, which has advanced 0.4 percent. Resona fell as much as 2 percent to 300 yen and traded at 302 yen as of 10:22 a.m. in Tokyo.
Higaki wants to move the debt repayment schedule forward by using retained earnings built up over the past year, he said, without disclosing a new timeline. Resona increased the portion of profit that's reinvested rather than paid to stockholders by 24 percent last fiscal year to 1.09 trillion yen as of March 31.
"We may split the purchase of the 450 billion yen of preferred stock into several portions, depending on how fast and how much we build reserves in the next four years," Higaki said.
Resona sold 545 billion yen of new shares in January 2011 as part of Chairman Hosoya's goal to buy 1.3 trillion yen of preferred shares from the government by 2015. The bank has purchased about 800 billion yen of the stock since the target was unveiled in November 2010.

The common denominator of the two defeats — to Hoover on March 11 and most recently, Arcadia, at home on Tuesday afternoon — has been Crescenta Valley's inability to stay with their opponent in the singles bracket.
"In doubles we were competitive and our No. 2 swept, which was impressive," said Falcons Coach Sam Hyun, whose squad hadn't played a match since a 13-5 nonleague loss to St. Francis on March 14. "But in singles, we only got two. We need support there to back up doubles."
Crescenta Valley fell to 6-3 overall, including a 4-2 mark in the Pacific League. Hyun said his singles competitors will need to practice more if they're going to avenge the two defeats.
"It's hard to beat Hoover and Arcadia unless we sweep doubles, and that's hard to do," he said. "Otherwise, it's hard to compete. We lost, 10-8, to Hoover, and, 11-7, to Arcadia, so it's that little difference. I think we have a good shot at Hoover, but Arcadia is a bit tougher."
On Tuesday, Crescenta Valley's No. 2 tandem of Robert Lee and Young Peek swept, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-4. Aren Abrahamian and Jason Chang won a pair of sets, and finished their day with scores of 1-6, 6-4, 6-1.
"We knew we were up against a tough team," Peek said. "Robert and I told ourselves that we're not looking to win, but to play our best …not to hit crazy shots, just make the smart ones and that's what Uncle Sam [Hyun] always tells us."
Albert Chtchyan and Jonathan Frink picked up the two wins in the singles bracket, with Chtchyan notching a 6-2 over Arcadia's No. 2 Kevin Yang and Frink climbing back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat No. 3 Anthony Hou, 6-4.
For the most part, however, the Apaches (12-2, 6-0) showed superior play in the bracket, paced by a sweep from their top competitor, Ken Nakamine, who finished with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 line.
"We're solid enough to win five or six [sets in singles]," second-year Arcadia Coach Bo Wintin said. "Usually, we beat one team, one lineup that's solid in singles and pick up the rest in doubles. I rely on my No. 1 and No. 2 to get me four each and then our No. 3s will get me one, and that adds up to 10."
Crescenta Valley will host Pasadena on Thursday before another week off, due to Burbank's schools being on spring break. Hyun said his team will make the necessary adjustments.
"We just need to practice more in singles and I've been trying to find the right combination for our No. 3 doubles," Hyun said. "We'll need to solidify that."

Star Sport
Bolt running out of time to test world marks
Usain Bolt - File
André Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter
Sprinting royalty Usain Bolt has centred his cross hairs on lowering his own world records this season, but that will be a tall task for the superstar athlete and that's something even he can admit.
Bolt is no ordinary sprinter; 9.58 over the 100m and 19.19 over the half lap 200m, both recorded at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, make that very clear.
However, the powerful sprinter was 23 in 2009 and with his 27th birthday quickly gaining on him, Bolt admitted that he may have lost the opportunity to really test the boundaries of his speed; but what the heck, he's prepared to give it a shot anyway.
"Personally, I would love to lower the records," Bolt told Star Sports.
"I can't say if it's possible or not, because times have changed and it's getting harder and more difficult to run those times."
Bolt is the owner or at least has a share of six of the 10 fastest times ever recorded over the 100m and again, six of the 10 fastest over 200m. However, since the 100m world record run in Berlin, he only managed to dip below 9.70 seconds on one occasion, last year's Olympic final, while he hasn't come close to bettering the 19.19 200m mark since it was registered.
Fastest man
Nonetheless, Bolt, the only man to win successive Olympic sprint doubles, has become used to doubt. After all, there were more than a few who wrote him off ahead of the Olympic Games after his double loss to training partner and the fastest man in the world heading into the London spectacle, Yohan Blake.
"I am a hard worker and very dedicated and I like to do great things, so I will try to push my self and run as fast as possible this year," Bolt said.
"This season I am just trying to run as fast as possible. I have won every possible major championships there is and broken all the records, so I think I am just going out there to push the barrier as far as possible. I think that's my main focus but I am also looking forward to the World Championships," he added.
We have heard whispers that the world's most popular track and field star will this year open his season in Brazil, but Bolt isn't saying much at this point, besides his satisfaction with his training output so far.

One key question has been why Paterno and other top school officials didn't go to police in 2002 after being told a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assaulting a boy in a school shower.
Paterno says he should have done more. Spanier has said he was not told the details of the attack.
Sandusky has denied the charges.
Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley will serve as interim coach while Rodney Erickson will serve as interim school president.
Earlier in the day, Paterno said in a statement he was "absolutely devastated" by the case, in which Sandusky, his onetime heir apparent was charged with molesting eight boys in 15 years, with some of the alleged abuse taking place at the Penn State football complex.
"This is a tragedy," Paterno said. "It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."
John Surma, the vice chair of the board of trustees said, "these decisions were made after careful deliberations and in the best interests of the university as a whole."

Adrian Peterson, one of the NFL's fastest running backs, actually tried to slow himself down this season.
He was determined to let his blocks develop better than he had last season, and the Vikings' second-year running back assumed he was making strides to that end ... until hearing coaches still preaching restraint to him.
"I'm like, 'Man, I guess I'm not being patient enough,' " Peterson said. "So I went out there and worked on slowing things down."
It showed last Sunday.
Although he didn't come anywhere close to his 296-yard explosion a year ago — or even the 160 yards he gained in Week 2 against Indianapolis — Peterson said his performance against the Chicago Bears was his best of the season because he could "just feel the holes better."
"That's really when I felt the most patient I had been this year," Peterson said of his 22-carry, 122-yard game, which included a season-longest 54-yard touchdown. "I was able to just get into the groove of things better."
Peterson has faced a battery of questions this season because he hasn't topped 200 yards or ripped off many long touchdown runs. Only Peterson could disappoint with 684 rushing yards, second in the NFL to Washington Pro Bowler Clinton Portis' 818 yards.
Through seven games last season, Peterson had the same number of rushing touchdowns (five) and just 56 more yards, albeit on 23 fewer carries.
This season, Peterson doesn't have the element of surprise, and opposing defenses are geared around stopping him thanks to the Vikings' inconsistent passing offense.
Peterson admits his speed sometimes tempts him to try to make something out of nothing, and he has to realize that "just because your guys are in a tight position or you need a big play, it's not going to come by being fast." Vikings coach Brad Childress on Monday pointed out a run in the Bears game when Peterson lost yardage instead of settling for a short gain.
"That's a great example of, sometimes you have to push the pile for 1 1/2 or two (yards) because it's not blocked to go out where it went," Childress said. "When you take that into your own hand and try to force it, you end up with a result like that minus-4.
"Because he has that home run mentality, which you love, you have to fight against yourself."
That is why Peterson got such satisfaction out of his 54-yard touchdown. He darted left and waited for fullback Naufahu Tahi and pulling right guard Anthony Herrera to block their assigned opponents. Then Peterson cut hard back to his right and distanced himself from everyone else.
"It felt pretty good to get out into open space, turn the wheels on and shift into another gear ... finally," Peterson said. "Hopefully, I'll be doing a lot more of that."
The Vikings' run offense has slipped from No. 1 at the end of last season to No. 10, and Peterson's 15 runs of 10 or more yards (sixth in the NFL) are offset by his 15 runs for negative yardage (tied for third). Peterson says he isn't concerned about a sophomore slump.
"Guys coming into their second year, coming off a successful first year, let that play into their mind," Peterson said. "I don't let that enter my mind and stay.
"Obviously, different thoughts go through your mind. People are going to say things, but you have to let that go in one ear and out the other."
His mind-set?
"Stay focused," Peterson said, "and keep doing what you know you can do."

Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behaviorby Leonard Mlodinow
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard's Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), gives us a startling and eye-opening examination of how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world and how, for instance, we often misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates, misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions, and misremember important events.
Your preference in politicians, the amount you tip your waiter — all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels: the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious and a sea change in our understanding of how the subliminal mind affects the way we live.
Employing his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of how the human mind works and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.
"Physicist, science writer and Hollywood screenwriter Leonard Mlodinow is out to explore how important the unconscious is in shaping the way we process the world." NewScientist.com
"Leonard Mlodinow writes in a breezy style, interspersing probabilistic mind-benders with portraits of theorists....The result is a readable crash course in randomness."The New York Times Book Review
"Think you know the whys and hows of your choices? Follow Mlodinow on a gorgeous journey that will make you think again." David Eagleman, author of Incognito
"With the same deft touch he showed in The Drunkard's Walk, Mlodinow probes the subtle, automatic, and often unnoticed influences on our behavior." Daniel J. Simons, professor of psychology, University of Illinois, and coauthor of The Invisible Gorilla
"Magnificent....Challenges everything we think we know about how the world works. The probability is high that you will be entertained and enlightened by this intelligent charmer." Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness
"A must-read book that is both provocative and hugely entertaining. Mlodinow provides many eye-opening insights into the ways we act in business, finance, politics, and our personal lives." Jerry A. Webman, chief economist, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., and author of MoneyShift
From the best-selling author of The Drunkard's Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking) and War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra) comes a fascinating, illuminating examination of the profound ways in which the unconscious mind shapes our lives.
Every aspect of our mental lives plays out in two versions: one conscious, which we are constantly aware of, and the other unconscious, which remains hidden from us. Over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the unconscious, or subliminal, workings of the mind. This explosion of research has led to a sea change in our understanding of how the mind affects the way we live. As a result, scientists are becoming increasingly convinced that how we experience the world--our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment — is largely driven by the mind's subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed. Employing his trademark lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow unravels the complexities of the subliminal mind and reveals its influence on how we act with friends and strangers, spouses and coworkers. Like The Drunkard's Walk, Subliminal will increase our understanding of how the human mind works, and will change our view of ourselves, of the world around us, and of how we interact with that world.
About the Author
Leonard Mlodinow received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California, Berkeley, was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, and now teaches at the California Institute of Technology. His previous books include three New York Times best sellers: War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra), The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), and The Drunkard's Walk (also a New York Times Notable Book), as well as Feynman's Rainbow and Euclid's Window. He also wrote for the television series MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Financial Advisors and firms are accustomed to being regulated. All public communications, regardless of the medium, must adhere to the regulatory guidelines.
New media and electronic communication such as social media and blogging are not much different than any form of public communication. There are a number of best practices that financial advisors can adhere to in order to stay compliant with their online marketing and communication efforts.
Regardless of how your business or firm is structured, you will need to either ask your firm for social media policy guidelines and parameters or develop a social media policy for your firm. In addition, you will need an archiving software solution in place for the recording and monitoring of your social media activity.
It is imperative that you understand the rules of the regulatory guidelines that you or your firm fall under as well as the specific social media policy and guidelines that you are subject to before you begin to engage or participate in social media activity.
Below is an overview of some best practices to follow for compliant financial advisor blogging and social media participation:
- Neither the SEC or FINRA has specific regulations regarding blogging, but you should always be aware of the applicable rules surrounding electronic communications and advertising. Blog posts (articles, videos, images, etc.) should be pre-approved by your firm's compliance department. They are considered to be "advertisements". Once pre-approved, blog posts can typically be distributed out to your social media profiles. We also recommend that you back up your blog regularly and archive the RSS feed for your blog for an added layer of protection.
- If you are planning to provide investment and financial planning commentary, make sure to steer clear of specific investment recommendations unless you have the approval to discuss from your firm. Do not make exaggerated statements or guarantees about past performance being indicative of future performance. Remember, it is just as if you were typing an email, writing a letter, or speaking in public. You should always think carefully about what you say through text, video, or audio communications. It is best to keep investment discussions general in nature.
- If you allow commenting on your blog, you should monitor those comments prior to approving and publishing them.
- Providing a "disclosure" or "disclaimer" page on your blog describing your views and the views of those who comment on your blog is a recommended practice. In addition, you should provide a statement about the states that you are licensed to conduct business in.
- Always give credit for your information sources, whether it be articles, concepts, quotes, images, slides, or videos!
Social Networking Sites:
- Your social media profile pages will most likely need to be pre-approved by the firm or Broker/Dealer you are affiliated with (if applicable), and new approvals are needed any time you update your "static" profiles.
- Social media activity is considered to be "interactive" and typically does not require pre-approval, but many firms are requiring this. All of your social networking activities should be archived so that they can be monitored and reviewed by compliance. There are a number of firms providing software solutions for compliance archiving (Arkovi, Erado, Socialware, Actiance, Hearsay).
- Social media communication is considered to be a "public appearance". Keep personal and business interactions separate whenever possible, and conduct yourself professionally at all times! It's typically okay to sprinkle some personal into your professional profiles, but it's not okay to go the other way around and mention anything business related on your personal social media profiles.
- Social media communication should be archived regardless of device! (laptop, desktop, mobile phone, Ipad, etc.)
- Client testimonials are not allowed on any of your social media profile sites. Some firms consider the Facebook "Like" button to be an implied testimonial!
- Check your firm policy on communicating within social network messaging, chat, or email systems. If any message pertains to business, it needs to be captured or copied to your business email address.
- When updating your status on social networking sites, be prudent about any links, images or videos that you share, "like", or "retweet" that could be interpreted as a "recommendation", "endorsement", or "implied endorsement" of a financial company, products, investments, or services.
- If you allow 3rd party comments and posts on any of your social media sites (i.e. Facebook wall), consider using a disclaimer statement on the site.
- Make sure you understand the privacy settings and visibility of your actions on social media channels. Educate yourself on the social tools and rules so that you don't make mistakes that can harm your reputation or cross the line with your compliance department and/or the regulators.
- Use common sense. If you're unsure about a particular social networking activity, don't engage until you completely understand the rules.
Disclaimer: Wired Advisor is not a compliance firm. The information above is believed to be accurate but check with your firm to determine your specific policies and parameters before building and activating a social media presence!

Could be a great game. Playing with the mouse is incredibly difficult. It would have been easier just to use the arrow keys or WASD.

Big Glitch
By the end of round 2 I honestly counted 12 times that the ball went through a brick....that is the whole point of the game so with that kinda glitch I awarded low score. If the glitch were fixed it would be a lot of fun.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
Christmas is about families and love. Christmas is also about memories and hope. This is a story about Thelma and Marie and it's a story about Christmas, families, hope and love.
Thelma Rasmussen is 97 years old, born in 1905 and her younger sister Marie Atwood is 90, born in 1912. They were the second and fifth daughers born to James and Jane Strokes Oveson of Elmo. There were also other sisters and two little brothers.
Thelma has spent her entire 97 years in Emery and Carbon counties, while sister Marie grew up near Elmo and moved to Carbon County after her marriage. But the two sisters have always been close and loved each other very much. And today, all these years later, their home is the Turnquist Retreat, and their rooms facing the east, are side by side.
As I followed the sisters down the hall, both under five feet tall, both with nice Christmas sweaters, both shuffled along in their walkers to their tiny quarters, I couldn't help think that this is the true meaning of Christmas. Before they started talking I knew I was in for a treat because they carried with them an air of elegance and humility and the true Christmas spirit.
Thelma has been a resident of the center for six years and Marie has been there for four years and together they celebrate each day and both look forward to another holiday season.
From Thelma's room you can look over the wash and see the remains of her family's homestead, the farm her father and mother built from scratch on the flat just south of Elmo. Her parents met in Sunnyside around the turn of the century. Jane was waiting tables while James was looking for work with his brother. His brother got a job in the mines and James went to work as a sheepherder on the mountain. They married and moved to Elmo where they broke ground on their 180 acres. Thelma talked about her father renting a horse to pull up the sage brush and create his farm. There the Ovesons raised their seven children farming and ranching.
Christmas has always been a big holiday for the Oveson children, although presents or gifts weren't part of the celebration. "I remember decorating a cedar tree every year that dad would bring in from the mountains when he got wood," recalls Thelma.
The women talked about making their own decorations by gluing papers together and making a chain for the tree. Thelma and Marie's eyes lit up when they talked about dancing and singing around the tree. "One year mother had to go to her family at Coalville and dad and us kids stayed home for Christmas," said Marie, recalling, "I remember him dancing around and around the tree with us kids, all holding hands and singing Christmas carols."
Thelma talked about helping her mother with the baking, remembering the cookies and breads and donuts they made for the holiday season.
The two older Oveson children, Edith and Thelma, attended school at George Herman Ovett's grainery and Thelma piped up that her first teacher was Roda Webber.
But when they were asked about gifts, Marie remembers the early years when the kids got nothing. One year she got a doll with painted hair. But her older sister, Edith got a doll with real hair. "I made such a fuss out of not having hair on my doll that Edith finally gave me her doll," said Marie.
The Ovesons first lived in a log home with mud brought in from the area, while they were getting their farm going. Later as the children arrived, they added an adobe bedroom. Finally the girls remember getting lumber and building a kitchen which was added to the original log and adobe portions of the home.
Thelma stared off into a picture of her family when she recalled the round oak chief stove that sat in the middle of their new kitchen. "It was a real stove," she said. When their little brother was about five they got a new home and it was in this home that the baby brother, almost 10 years younger than Marie was born.
Thelma married at 19 and she and her husband, Lawrence Rasmussen had seven children as well. After their marriage Thelma and Lawrence lived in Columbia in a tent for four years up in Sunnyside. "There our two oldest children were born," recalls Thelma. "But we always had a tree at Christmas and I remember us decorating the tent during the holidays." Later the Rasmussens moved to Kenilworth.
Younger sister Marie also married a coal miner at 19, some five years later. They were married at Judge Hamond's courthouse and her husband's dad and stepmother stood up for them when they married back in the 1931. They first lived in Consumers and later bought a farm in Elmo on land that her father gave them.
The Atwoods had two children. Marie remembers her first Christmas in a two-room shack up at Consumers. A neighbor brought a tree from an area up the mountain they called Beaver. Marie recalls, "We had no money for gifts and barely had enough to feed us, but we made decorations out of paper and enjoyed our first holiday together."
"I love the holidays," said Marie, "People are happier and friendlier, but I would like more snow." Thelma added that her childhood memories of dancing around the tree still stand out in her mind.
Owner of the Turnquist Retreat for the past 11 years, Colleen Wilcox talked about her aunts, Thelma and Marie. "They are so much fun but so different from each other," she said. Thelma is kinder and more patient and Marie is more demanding, but they look out for each other and when one is sick the other one is right there by her bedside.
At Thanksgiving Colleen recalls that they both had family invitations, but they wanted to stay and celebrate the holiday together.
It's like a fairy tale story, especially at Christmas, when two little gray haired ladies, both in their 90's get to live together again, only a few miles from where both were born. Shuffling in their walkers to either side of the Christmas tree, with smiles as big as their hearts, they smiled as the flash went off. Marie said, "should we say Merry Christmas now!"

in Thrace
is capital of the Prefecture of Evros and home to the Medical
School of the Democritus University
of Thrace and the Teachers and Kindergarten Pedagogic
Departments. Its first residents, in the mid 19th century,
were a few fishermen and the town began to grow when
the first railway line was laid in 1870 connecting Thessaloniki
with Constantinople. This provided the ability to export
products to the rest of the country. lust like the Prefecture
of Rhodopi, the Prefecture of Evros was incorporated
into Greece in May 1920. The visit of the then King Alexander
was the pretext on which the town was renamed as Alexandroupolis.
The town is new with a modem street plan and is a transport
hub with a port, an airport and a large railway station.
Sights in the town are the Ecclesiastical Museum with
its grounds, the Historical - Folk Museum, the Flora
and Fauna Museum of Evros and others. Tens of hotels
are available to visitors as well as the large camp site
on the tourist beach which extends for many kilometres.
During the summer months there are many events organized
in Egnatia Park at its open air theatre. Alexandroupoli
is the starting point for visits to the interior of the
prefecture and the island of Samothrace.

MUSCOY (CBS) — Authorities Friday arrested a woman following a wild pursuit through the Inland Empire.
The chase started in Highland at 8:52 a.m. when the female driver of a bronze sedan refused to yield at a traffic stop.
She could be seen driving erratically on surface streets from Sky2.
The chase ended in Muscoy just before 10 a.m. when the suspect stopped the vehicle. She and her male passenger tried to run away, but were taken into custody by Sheriff's deputies.

Parliamentary question by Olivier Dupuis (ARE) to the Commission and answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission
- 07/13/1998

Parliamentary questions
by Olivier Dupuis (ARE) to the Commission
(13 July 1998)
Subject: Financial transactions carried out by Mr Karadzic
According to a report which appeared in the Banja Luka weekly Nezavisne Novine and was taken up in the Corriere della Sera of 22 June 1998, DM 17 million (the equivalent of Lire 17 March 1997 from the National Bank of the Republika Srpska (the Serb Republic) to the Nuova Banca di Credito di Trieste (also known under the Slovene name of Trzaska Kreditna Banka); this transfer of funds seems to have been carried out by henchmen of the war criminal Radovan Karadzic shortly before they were obliged to hand over the government of the Serb Republic to the "moderates" of the current Prime Minister, Milorad Dodik. The enormous capital sum transferred is assumed to consist either of the proceeds of the looting carried out by the Bosnian Serbs in the course of their "ethnic cleansing" drive or of funds misappropriated from the Serb Republic.
In view of the foregoing, what information can the Commission obtain concerning the activities of the Liechtenstein-based company Sarnos Establishment, which seems to be used by the "Karadzic clan" as a cover for capital transfers?
What information can the Commission obtain concerning the activities of the Rome-based International institute for political and economic research on cooperation and development (Ispeco), headed by Mr Gianfranco Oliverio, which appears to have emerged in June 1995 as a political and economic pressure group lobbying on behalf of Radovan Karadzic in Italy?
What action does the Commission intend to take to prevent, in future, any direct or indirect collusion or connivance with the war criminal Radovan Karadzic and to strengthen the European institutions' cooperation with the ad hoc Tribunal dealing with war crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia?
Answer given by Mr Van den Broek
on behalf of the Commission
(14 September 1998)
The Commission has been informed of the articles that have appeared in the Italian press regarding the financial transactions said to have been effected by Mr Karadzic. It has, unfortunately, no further information nor the resources to investigate the truth of the acts that are alleged.
Nevertheless, the Commission would like to recall that it suspended in 1997 its assistance operations in Republika Srpska, following similar accounts involving suspected war criminals. It has from the outset taken the view and repeatedly made it well known that those suspected of war crimes should be held accountable and answer for their deeds and be brought to justice in order to ensure lasting peace and stability in Bosnia Herzegovina.
Through its budget the Community is supporting the activities of the International Criminal Court.

Scioto Greenways Project
The Scioto Riverfront in Downtown Columbus has been transformed as a result of hundreds of millions of dollars in public and private developments in the RiverSouth area. But while substantial public and private investments along the Scioto River have created world-class amenities, the river remains a slow-moving, overly wide pool of sediment-laden water due to the presence of low head dams.
The Scioto Greenways project involves removing the low head dam at Main Street, conducting substantial river restoration to the downtown portion of the Scioto River, and constructing 33-acres of new green space along its banks. The park space will better connect downtown to the Scioto Peninsula and East Franklinton, build on the recent park investments, create links to the existing regional bikeway system, and serve as a catalyst for further private investment in Downtown.
Across the country, dam removal and river restoration projects have been shown to increase property values, encourage investment, and create vibrant communities. A healthy river that enables recreation and improves connectivity will allow Columbus to thrive and ensure maximum economic, ecological, and social benefits.

Bluefield Ranch Preserve in Fort Pierce to close for prescribed burn
FORT PIERCE - Bluefield Ranch Preserve is scheduled to be closed Aug. 26 and 27 as the St. Lucie County's Environmental Resources Department conducts a prescribed burn on 200 acres at the site.
The site has a history of lightning caused wildfires. Wildfires in the Bluefield Preserve are usually difficult to control due to limited access and because of the dense continuous vegetation.
Part of St. Lucie County's Environmentally Significant Lands program, Bluefield Ranch Preserve is located at 30501 Bluefield Ranch Road in western St. Lucie County.

Poor supply at Abule Teacher, Amuwo, Shasha
I wish to notify the relevant PHCN office about the problem of incessant blackout we are facing at Abule Teacher, a community close to Ilogbo in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State. On the average, we do not have electricity supply up to 10 days in a month. On those days, it is also not up to five hours in a day. The transformer is unable to supply power to the entire community. I would like to know the steps to take for a community/area to have its own transformer for constant electricity supply. I look forward to hearing from you.
Agbaje Rafiu, email@example.com
Abule Teacher near Ilogbo Off Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway is located at the tail end of a circuit from a 300KVA, 33/0.415kv transformer substation at Tigbo, Oke Osa. The location of the community is far away from their source of supply, which explains why the community is experiencing low voltage.
The total lack of supply they experienced for a few days was due to a breaker problem we experienced at the Transmission Station on Ota Industrial 33KV feeder.
However, arrangement is in progress to inject a relief substation within the community to improve the quality of supply to our valued customers in that area.
Please bear with us.

Ota Business Unit (IBEDC)
Sinking transformer
I'm the secretary of Iponri Residents Association (Jakande Estate), Surulere, Lagos. A transformer popularly known as Malu Transformer in the estate stands the risk of sinking if it is not raised, as it is located on waterlogged land. Although the community regularly maintains the environment where the transformer is situated, the task of raising it is beyond us. We use every available opportunity to draw attention to the problem, but we're always told to find a solution to it on our own – something that is impossible because of the underground cables. The new owners of PHCN should give priority to the rehabilitation of this transformer before it is too late. Thanks.
Ade Okoya, email@example.com
On the Surulere issue, our men have been asked to look at the transformer (MALU sub station), and carry out the necessary amendment
In the next 24 hours, everything would have returned to normal.

We want better service in Olambe
I want to appreciate this platform provided by Saturday PUNCH for those of us leaving in darkness to express our displeasure to PHCN. It is very sad, that despite the huge amount of money being spent to make electricity available to all, we that are leaving in this environment are not enjoying electricity at all. I have been living in this area for a long time. I can confidently say that since the beginning of the year we have not enjoyed three hours of uninterrupted supply, it's so bad. When will the ongoing upgrading of PHCN facilities get to Olambe in Ogun State? My friends living in Lagos State are commending the effort of PHCN for improved supply, when will it be our turn? Thank you.
K. Bello.
Mr. K. Bello's complaint on electricity supply situation to Olambe should be forwarded to the Principal Manager (Public Affairs), Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company as Olambe falls within their area of coverage.

Poor supply in Sabon Lugbe
I wish to commend Saturday PUNCH for a good job. I live in ACO/AMAC Estate, in Sabon Lugbe, off Airport Road, Abuja. When we get electricity supply for three days in that area it goes off for another two weeks. All through October, we had supply for just about six days. We need a permanent solution to justify the bills we pay every month. Thanks.
Tunde Taiwo, email@example.com
I am sorry for my late reply. I just checked my email now. We acknowledge the power problem in Sabon Lugbe and environs, we are doing everything possible to solve the problem, which is mainly distribution/transformer problem.
But the situation is not as bad as the one painted by Mr. Tunde Taiwo. Anyway we appeal to all affected customers to bear with us the inconvenience they are experiencing now.
Principal Manager, Public Affairs, Debo Adegoke
