Neighbors oppose proposed 54 'dorm' suites in South Side
December 14, 2004
The city Zoning Board of Adjustment, a quasi-judicial board, heard arguments pro and con for a proposed multi-suite residential facility on Sidney Street Dec. 9. The Board hearing took place at the Civic Building on Ross Street, Downtown.
The proposal by businessman Dean McHolme of Elizabeth calls for the conversion of a former assisted living apartment building, located about one-half block from the Ormsby recreation center and swimming pool. The businessman wants to convert the building into a residential complex for college students. McHolme represents a company that owns the building called Sidney Street Associates, LP.
McHolme said there is a strong market for student housing in the city because of the growing enrollments at major universities such as Pitt, Duquesne and Carnegie Mellon.
McHolme said he has been in negotiations with one of the local colleges, he declined to say which one, to arrange for student housing in a six-story structure at 2112 Sidney Street.
The building is a block from the Birmingham Bridge, the route to Oakland from the South Side. South Side residents have complained for many years about the problems caused by irresponsible college students who temporarily live in the neighborhood.
McHolme plans to convert the former senior citizen convalescent center into 54 two-bedroom suites. The suites would share bathroom and kitchen facilities on each floor. To obtain a permit for the building conversion, McHolme must prove he can provide adequate parking space for the residents of the building.
McHolme claims he has 57 available spaces. Ten of the spaces are located across the street from the front entrance of the building. There are 20 additional spaces located less than a block from the entrance on the same side of Sidney Street. McHolme said he owns both parking lots. The other 27 spaces are located on a surface parking lot on Wharton Street, near the 2000 block of Sidney. It is believed these spaces are within 1,000 feet of the apartment building's main entrance, a requirement for the adequate parking stipulation for the granting of the multi-use permit.
The Wharton parking lot is available to McHolme through an annual lease with the city parking authority.
Residents of the area believe putting dozens of college students in this building would ruin the neighborhood because of increased traffic, parking, litter and noise problems. The residents fear there may be no way to control the number of students living in the building. They believe the 57 parking spaces would not be enough for the students because of friends and classmates expected to regularly visit the building. They believe many of the visits will be over-night stays.
McHolme says the 57 parking spaces will be more than adequate. He cited the example of 72 college students who live in a similar apartment building on Fourth Ave., Downtown. He said only three students drive cars among the residents of that building.
Those who oppose the conversion plan also maintain that the employees required to operate the facility (managers, security personnel and custodians) will add to the parking problem.
Councilman Gene Ricciardi called for a South Side Community Council meeting two days prior to the hearing to organize the residents opposed to the facility.
About 20 residents appeared at the hearing. Three citizens sat with Ricciardi at the Zoning Board of Adjustment table during the hearing. Ricciardi sat next to McHolme and one of his business associates at the hearing.
Those accompanying Ricciardi at the table were Wanda Jankoski of Wrights Way (located behind the Sidney Street apartment building), Eric Marchbein, who resides in another part of the city but owns business property at 2107 Sidney Street; and Elaine Luther, a college professor who resides just a few doors from the apartment building on Sidney.
Ricciardi said a main concern of the residents has been a lack of communication between them and McHolme. Ricciardi said the South Side Community Council attempted to have the developer meet with the group in a public meeting, but their offer was refused.
McHolme claims he was not aware such a meeting with the residents was proposed to him.
"I apologize for any rejection not to meet with the South Side group," McHolme said. "I was not aware that there was any offer to meet. It's not like I am trying to hide something. I'll work with you."
Many residents at the meeting two days prior to the hearing said they feared that the rules regulating the building's activity would eventually go ignored and 54 suites could end up housing 200 students.
"When you mention student housing to people, everybody thinks of Animal House and loud music, but we are going to operate a tight ship," said McHolme, noting the Fourth Avenue building is handled in this manner.
"You will always have a few bad apples for any type of rental housing, but we'll work with the schools to alleviate these problems," said McHolme, noting bad behavior among tenants is not exclusive to college students.
Marchbein noted he does not want the building to remain vacant in the coming years. The front entrance of the building is strewn with litter that has blown onto the property, plus there is unsightly red graffiti written near the entrance.
As a resident living behind the building, Jankoski said her biggest concern is the large vehicles recently parked behind the building for several days. She said a large generator made a great deal of noise while emptying the building of debris and rubbish into trucks to haul it away.
She does not want this to be a habitual problem when the building is under renovation over a period of months. Not only does this create a major noise problem for the neighborhood, the large trucks driving down the narrow alley known as Wrights Way, would block the street's access, according to Jankoski. She noted that emergency vehicles frequently travel on Wrights Way, along with the Access transportation service and vehicles from the Meals on Wheels program.
Ricciardi with the residents and McHolme agreed to meet to work out there differences in a public forum within the next month.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment set up a continuance of the hearing. It is scheduled for Jan. 27 at 9 a.m. at the Civic Building on Ross Street.

Several times in recent years, schools have been hit by tornadoes. In most instances, fortunately, classes were not in session. In some other instances, where students were present, school officials familiar with twisters safeguarded the children by taking prompt action just before the tornadoes hit.
NOAA's National Weather Service urges that all schools develop plans and conduct drills to cope with tornadoes--particularly in the South and central states, where the threat is greatest. Tornado drills require different actions than fire drills.
Among details to consider:
- Remember that the National Weather Service issues a tornado Watch when the possibility of tornadoes exists, and a tornado Warning when a tornado has been spotted or indicated on radar. Remember also there may not be time for a tornado Warning before a twister strikes. Tornadoes form suddenly. Teachers and students should know the difference between a Watch and a Warning.
- School officials at the State and county level should have a plan for rapid dissemination of tornado Watches and Warnings to every school in the system--either by radio or telephone.
- Each school should be inspected and tornado shelter areas designated. Schools with basements should use these as shelters. Schools without basements should use interior hallways on the ground floor that are not parallel to the tornado's path, which is usually from the southwest. Never use gymnasiums, auditoriums, or other rooms with wide free-span roofs. Teachers and students should know their designated shelter areas.
- School Administrators should establish procedures governing use or non-use of school buses during tornado Watches and Warnings. Generally speaking, school buses should continue to operate during tornado Watches, but not during tornado Warnings. School buses are easily rolled by tornado winds.
- During a tornado Watch, specific teachers or other school staff members should be designated to monitor commercial radio or TV for tornado Warnings, even if the school has a NOAA Weather Radio tone-alert system. Weather spotters also should keep an eye on the sky for dark, rolling clouds, hail, driving rain, or a sudden increase in wind, in addition to the telltale funnel. Tornadoes are often obscured by precipitation or darkness. Other public agencies, too, report tornado sightings.
- A special alarm system should be designated to indicate a tornado has been sighted and is approaching. A backup alarm should be planned for use if electrical power fails--perhaps a battery-operated bullhorn, an inexpensive hand-cranked siren, or even an old-fashioned hand-swung bell.
- Specific teachers should be assigned to round up children on playgrounds or other outdoor areas during a tornado warning. Otherwise, they might be overlooked.
- Children in schoolrooms of weak construction--such as portable or temporary classrooms--should be escorted to sturdier buildings or to predetermined ditches, culverts, or ravines, and instructed to lie face down, hands over head.
- Most tornado deaths are caused by head injuries.
- When children are assembled in school basements or interior hallways during a tornado drill or Warning, they should be instructed to respond to a specific command to assume protective postures, facing interior walls, when the danger in imminent. Such a command might be: "Everybody down!" It is essential that this command be instantly understood and obeyed. Illustrations showing the protective position should be posted on bulletin boards.
- If a school bus is caught in the open when a tornado is approaching, the children should be escorted to a nearby ditch or ravine and made to lie face down, hands over head. They should be far enough away so the bus cannot topple on them.
- School-bus drivers should be regularly drilled in Tornado procedures.
- School district officials planning new buildings or additions should keep tornadoes in mind when setting construction standards.
Tornado Actions
Tornado Watch
Signal: ______________________________________________
IT MEANS: There is a chance of dangerous weather later with damaging winds. Be on the lookout for the danger signs listed below and be ready to move quickly to safety if the Warning Signal is given.
Tornado Warning
Signal: ______________________________________________
IT MEANS: A tornado has been sighted. Go at once to the area listed below. If you see or hear the tornado coming, do not wait for the Warning Signal--go to your shelter area if there is time, it not, curl up on the floor and protect yourself as the boy in the picture is doing. If a tornado comes while you are on the school bus, get away from the bus and into a nearby ditch or ravine. Lie down, hands over head.
Danger Signs
Thunder, lightning, heavy rains, and strong winds
Pellets of ice from dark-clouded skies
Like a hundred railroad locomotives; a crashing thunderous sound
Dark, spinning "rope" or column from the sky to the ground

Family Photo Shoot - Portrait on the Rocks
I had the pleasure of photographing an old classmate recently with her husband and toddler. We made plans when temperatures were warm, but when the day came it was blustery and cold. Luckily Amanda, Jim and Ben had come prepared with more than just warm blankets. Their beaming smiles made up for the chilly wind, and it was easy to capture pure gold. Thanks again for letting me document those priceless moments!
Senior Photos - A Radiant Smile
I had to pleasure of shooting senior photos for an elegant young lady this summer. She's from central Maine, but wanted to change up her scenery and get photographed at beautiful Willard Beach in South Portland. The skies were grey and a massive fog bank settled just as we pulled into the parking lot. But even with the drab conditions, nothing could tarnish her radiance. Thanks for being a good sport and bringing some sunshine on a cloudy day!
Maternity Photos - Brit's Leaf
With my fiancé due any day now, our world has become very localized. Even though we can't travel deep into the northern woods of Maine, we still find ways to enjoy the amazing fall foliage...even if it's in our backyard!
Higgins Beach Surf Session - Toes on the Nose
Made it down to Higgins beach for a predawn surf session the other day. A solid swell was rolling in from a recent storm, but since it was late November in Maine, the lineup was just a few local rippers.
Engagement Shoot - Sand Dune Swing
After living in Colorado for 11 years, I have plenty of good friends who know how to take advantage of being outdoors. That's why when the Pattersons invited us out to shoot their engagement photos (and attend the wedding) you could say we jumped at the chance.
Wedding Shoot - Camp Pasquaney Canoe Ride
A great pair giving a toast back to a great family and friends. Paddling off into the sunset? Doesn't get much better than that.
Casco Bay Lines Reflection
Commercial Street in Portland's Old Port can be a busy place during the summer months. To escape the mob I venture to the ferry terminal to sit and watch the bayliners pull up, or sometimes head out to the quiet islands off the coast to find some privacy.
Breakwater Dawn - Spring Point
Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse is a beacon on the outskirts of Portland's busy harbor. On this brisk morning, though, I had it all to myself. The sun's rays cut like knives through the cold ocean breeze and left amazing textures on the broken granite. What a morning to be on the coast!
Predawn Bliss at Ram Island
A beacon of hope and forewarning, Ram Island Light has stood outside the waters of Portland harbor for many years, protecting voyagers and astounding viewers.
Boathouse in Shrouds
Calm before the storm...that's what they always say. And we experienced it in 2011 on Newfound Lake, NH. The fog was calm and thick like pea soup, so we cautiously drove into the void in my father's ski boat. Suddenly the it parted and we stole a glimpse of the iconic boathouse on Pasquaney Bay. I only had a moment to snap off a few shots before the mist swirled back in. It only cleared for a few seconds, but the surreal beauty of that moment will live in my mind for the rest of my days.
Newfound Sunset
My father told me it would be a sunset to remember. It's a good thing that I've learned to listen to my old man. It's so hard to convey beauty through photographs, but I tried my best with this one. Thanks again Mother Nature...
Tunnel Vision at Zion's Subway
The Subway is a fabled location deep in the heart of Zion National Park, and there's a good reason why most summer days show a waiting list to visit. This magical oasis in the desert has been carved out over millennia by waters through a sandstone gorge. What a great place to escape the heat and let your mind wander.
Mount Crocker Treescape
Sugarloaf Ski Resort may not be the tallest mountain, but it is definitely one of the coldest in the Northeast. Many years the permafrost hits by mid October and doesn't leave till well into April the coming spring. Howling winds keep the summit landscape stunted, but this affords spectacular views across miles of woodlands to high points such as the Bigelow Preserve and Mount Crocker (seen above).
Infamous Knife Edge - Mount Katahdin
I crossed Katahdin's famous Knife Edge twice when I was a child, and at the time I honestly thought it would be the end of me. Years later I see less danger and far more beauty, with craggy spires of rock and an ocean of fall foliage below. But caution is always in the back of my mind, and I show the great mountain my respects.
The Icelandic Beast Looms
Mt Sneffels was named after the Icelandic word for snow (and from a Jules Verne book). This area is very popular with tourists around the U.S. and can be quite crowded in areas, but it's worth every bit of the hassle.
Coral Pink Sands of Time
While in the desert, there's a moment when you suddenly stop moving and simply listen. You hear the soft breeze blow grains of sand, smell the fragrance of piñon pines, and see beauty in epic proportions. Then you realize you've been waiting for this moment all your life.
There's Always One Joker
There's always one joker in the bunch, even when dealing with cows! We got to explore Taylor Dairy Farm, one of the largest of its kind in all of Maine over the summer. It has over 1,000 cows which produce 42,000 lbs of milk each day! Now if I'd only brought some Oreo Cookies...
Comet Trails at Spring Point
There's nothing like researching a spot to shoot and then visiting fo rthe first time. Reality brings a different sense of scale, and your eyes will no longer view the images as small, but vast with unbridled emotion. Yet sometimes we must visit familiar places time and time again. This repetition allows us to see them in a different light. And with each subsequent visit comes new understanding and appreciation.
Star Trails above Timberloch Lodge
Every Labor Day my parents throw a big bash at our business Timberloch Lodge on Newfound Lake, NH. Friends and family from around New England show up with their dancing shoes and have a grand old time. After the music dies down and the crowd thins out, we rest on the beach under a thick blanket of stars and tell old stories as the stars cross the sky.
Frozen Ghost
As the warmer ocean waters outside Portland Maine interact with the sub zero temperatures of the air above, beautiful plumes of sea smoke are produced. This day was a mere -6˚F, but with little to no wind the billowing cloud hung over Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse like an icy curtain.
Plaster Family Christmas
Mom and dad making Bella smile.
Sparhawk By Night - Pinpoint Edit
The old Sparhawk Mill sits high above the Royal River's rushing winter flow. The sound is deafening, yet there's a calmness the river brings. Or maybe it's the twinkling stars in the cold night sky...
Franconia Ridge in Black & White
Franconia Ridge is an epic hike in the White Mountains of central New Hampshire. Even on the clearest of days anything can happen. This hike started in steady rain, changed to billowing clouds, and ended in a bluebird afternoon.
The Goosenecks of Scarborough Marsh
A gooseneck is created when a meandering river reaches an obstruction and is forced to bow out. Beautiful examples of these are found at Horseshoe Bend AZ and Goosenecks State Park UT. But the more I explore Maine from the sky the more I see our state has these amazing features too.

President Obama says he is team Jay-Z, and that he still believes Kanye West is a jackass.
In a brief interview with The Atlantic, published Thursday, Obama was asked whether he preferred Jay-Z or Kanye.
Jay-Z, he replied, but he also doled out praise to West: "Although I like Kanye," says the president, "He's a Chicago guy. Smart. He's very talented."
U.S. & World
But what about the commander-in-chief calling Kanye a jackass back in 2009, following West's ambush of Taylor Swift on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards?
"He is a jackass," Obama replied, adding a wink to take any sting out of the remark. "But he's talented."
Kanye made further headlines last week when his new single "Theraflu" was semi-leaked. On the track he raps about falling for reality-star Kim Kardashian, creating speculation over whether the pair are currently dating, and what the status of their relationship was during Kim's short-lived, if much publicized marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries.
For Jay-Z, such presidential praise can be added to his list of recent personal and professional highs. He celebrated the birth of his first child Blue Ivy Carter with superstar wife Beyonce on January 7, his Rocawear fashion label signed a sponsorship deal with the New York Yankees, and his Watch the Throne mega-tour -- which he co-headlines alongside Kanye -- was a sell-out success in the United States at the end of 2011. The hip-hop juggernauts commence the European leg of the concert tour in May.

Live on Sesame Street (1972)
whew... thanks!
i needed that.
Me too.
That was great. Sesame Street is a can't miss for musicians.
I like the recent performance by James Blunt, in which he teaches all of us about triangles.
Just my opinion, but this is the best music video I have seen.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw this when it was first one--I would've been six in 1972, and probably didn't miss much on Sesame Street, and very vaguely remember this black guy playing piano and singing stuff very different from what my parents listened to (no, neither my musical tastes nor anything else was very developed at that point). Well, now at least, I can appreciate it as I didn't then....
Do you happen to know if anyone has the audio from Stevie's Sesame Street funkafied status?
Totally concur on the level of talent. It would be impossible to find anyone remotely as talented today.
I've just realised you're the person who uploaded this clip.
This is the funkiest thing I have ever seen in my life. I wish I could bottle this. Every time I watch this video, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Glad you love it as much as I do. Probably my favorite live jam of all time - and I love the fact that it has helped "make" the day for millions of people - even now, 40 years later.
I think the trumpet player is not Bernie Manning, but Steve Madaio. Madaio played on the original track. There's a picture of him here:
Same guy, I think.
Holy Shit, you are right! I will correct the post.
Video has been seen by 4.2 Million people now. That's a lot of musical enlightenment!
I think it's Tom Malone, not Lou Marini, on sax.
Best thing the band tries to stop like 3-4 times and Stevie keeps it rocking.
2nd best thing? The kid.
Are you sure ther bassist is not Nathan Watts? He played on a lot of Stevie's records. Also, (and I might be wrong), but is that not Skunk Baxter on the Tele?

SAN JOSE — A 16-year-old girl who has reportedly spent a third of her life working as a prostitute was rescued during a sting last week that netted 14 arrests of alleged prostitutes and johns, according to the San Jose Police Department.
"This type of operation is so important because, unfortunately, it's not uncommon for us to come across juvenile prostitutes," said Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "Without a sustained effort to rescue them, they could get sucked into that type of work for life."
Aided by federal grant funds, the San Jose Police Department Human Trafficking Task Force conducted the two-day operation last Wednesday and Friday along Monterey Road, considered by police to be the city's worst area for prostitution. A high concentration of motels combined with heavy vehicle traffic make the issue especially rampant on a stretch of Monterey.
Police launched an undercover sting last Wednesday in which a female officer posed as a prostitute, resulting in the arrests and citations of eight people alleged to have solicited the officer.
Two days later, plainclothes officers conducted surveillance in the same area and arrested and cited four suspected johns and arrested two women on suspicion of prostitution.
They also found a 16-year-old girl who they identified as an East Bay runaway. She told officers she had been forced to work as a prostitute since she was 11 years old. The girl has been placed in protective custody.
"These officers conducting these operations … know they're helping and rescuing victims who are more helpless than an adult would be," Dwyer said. "They're helping someone who can't help themselves."
Acting police Chief Larry Esquivel said the sting sends a message to sex traffickers working in San Jose.
"This type of activity will not be tolerated in our city," Esquivel said in a statement. "We will continue to look at similar enforcement actions and partnerships to address this problem."

The price of crude oil has fallen in recent months. As a result, gasoline prices have followed suit, giving a welcome relief to travelers and just in time for the summer vacation season. What's behind this recent move?
Commodity prices are driven by two major factors: the value of the dollar and supply/demand dynamics. The recent drop is no different. In fact, the correlation between the dollar and the price of oil is -0.74, indicating a strong negative relationship. As the dollar has been strengthening lately, oil prices have relaxed.
Why is the dollar strengthening you may ask? After the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Federal Reserve embarked on a second round of quantitative easing in an effort to foster inflation and quash deflation by making money more available and cheaper, with the hope that consumers and businesses would borrow. However, these two important groups remained cautious in their spending, and the bulk of this stimulus still sits at the Federal Reserve banks.
Then, the Fed began Operation Twist. In short, the Fed sold short-term government securities and bought longer-term issues. This action put downward pressure on long-term interest rates, which made it cheaper for the government and homeowners to borrow.
Last week, this "twist action" was extended. Operation Twist doesn't flood the market with dollars simply because they are using the proceeds from the sale of the short-term securities to buy longer-term bonds. Therefore, the dollar has been strengthening, contributing to the fall in commodity prices.
If the Fed were to introduce QE3, the money supply would be further expanded, and we would see oil and other commodities rise. However, this assumes global demand remained somewhat constant. Demand is the other side of the coin. With Europe in a recession, America's economy slowing, and the BRIC countries, most notably China, slowing, the global economy is getting weaker. This slowdown in global economic activity and the stronger dollar should keep commodity prices, and specifically oil, lower. Of course, a conflict in the Middle East could change all that.
If economic growth does continue to slow to the point where deflation becomes a threat, then the Fed would certainly entertain the idea of another round of QE. In Bernanke's mind, anything is better than deflation, especially since he is such a student of the 20-year Japanese deflation trap. However, if deflation does not appear to be a threat, then QE3 would not see the light of day.
The drop in oil is just in time for the November election. I expect the dollar will continue to strengthen for a little while longer. Rest assured, its movement is not strictly dependent upon market forces. There's another force at work, which is especially true in an election year. One can only hope that change takes on a new meaning in November.

Shimek State Forest is located in Lee and Van Buren Counties in southeast Iowa near the town of Farmington. The forest headquarters is located about 1 mile northeast of Farmington on County Road J56. Recreational opportunities abound in the forest.
The forest's original and most important function is to serve as an example of forest management for Iowa's citizens. It was a base of operations for the Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.). Demonstration plantings of hardwoods and conifers were completed. Over the years plantations have continued to be established. Since 1972 commercial sales of saw timber and other products have been made. Ongoing cultural practices improve the forest for the production of forest products, wildlife habitat, erosion control, and watershed protection. People from a wide area use the forest as a place to hunt, fish, camp, picnic, study nature, and enjoy the out-of-doors.
Limestone, shale, and sandstone bedrock underlie Shimek State Forest, materials that were deposited in water when this part of the world was covered by an inland sea. A thick layer of glacial drift overlies this bedrock and is the major source of parent material from which soils in the area have formed.
The glacial drift that covers this area was deposited during two glacial events, the Nebraskan and Kansan. Following these, the natural process of weathering and erosion resulted in a surface generally rolling with flat ridges between drainages. A soil named Lindley, common to the area, was formed by the weathering of glacial till.
The Wisconsin glacier also played a role in the geologic processes of the area and in formation of a soil comprised of fine silt and clay particles that overlies the Lindley soil and is named Weller. Silt deposited during the melting of the Wisconsin glacier accumulated in great quantities in the Missouri River Valley and was carried by the wind and deposited across southern Iowa.
The relatively narrow valleys are covered by alluvial material carried from the hills by water. In some instances erosion has proceeded far enough to expose glacial till or underlying sedimentary material. The terrain on Shimek Forest is characterized by narrow, flat ridges separated by deeply cut drainages.
The area streams are intermittent or seep fed, slow running and dry up completely at times.
The weather has an effect on the activities that can take place in the forest. There are many days throughout the year when it is impractical to work out-of-doors. On other days weather conditions may affect soil conditions so that planned work must be delayed.
The climate is characterized by wide variations and rapid changes in temperature. There is scant winter precipitation and normally ample rainfall during the growing season.
The normal annual average temperature is 51.3 degrees F. The normal summer average temperature is 74.3 degrees F. The normal winter average temperature is 26.6 degrees F.
A few days of 100 degree weather in summer and about ten days of subzero weather in the winter mark the extremes. The highest temperature ever recorded in Lee County was 113 degrees and the coldest was minus 27 degrees. January is normally the coldest month and July the warmest month with an average of temperature of 77.9 degrees. The average length of the frost free season is 187 days. The average date of the last killing frosts in the spring is April 15th and the average date of the first killing frost in the fall is October 19th. Precipitation is abundant, normally 32 to 36 inches per year, most of which falls during the growing season.
Winters are usually mild with infrequent heavy snows. Ice storms are common with one or two destructive storms each year. Snowfall averages 24.8 inches. March has the most wind and May and June are wettest. Thunderstorms are frequent in June and July with about one every third day.
Summers are hot and humid. Autumn is bright and usually the most pleasant season. September is wet as a rule with heavy morning dews, followed by drier, cooler and sunnier weather in October.
Prevailing winds are southerly for the six months of April through September, southwesterly during October and from the northwest during the winter months. The average wind velocity is 8.57 miles per hour throughout the year.
The predominant plant communities on the forest are oak-hickory and bottomland hardwood timber types and their variations and transition zones.
The oak-hickory type occupies the drier sites including ridge tops and sides. On poor sites, those with low fertility or that are dry, the species composition is generally black oak, bur oak, shingle oak, and hickory. On better upland sites, white oak, red oak, and hickory are more common.
The bottomland timber type is found on fertile soils in the bottomlands. This type contains many species including red and white elm, cottonwood, hackberry, green ash, silver maple, and black walnut.
There are several areas where native prairie plants can be found including big and little bluestem, switchgrass, Indian grass, prairie cordgrass, and various prairie forbs such as purple coneflower, round-headed bush clover, and lead plant.
About 1,000 acres have been planted to conifers. These plantations include a wide variety of pines, spruce, and larch. Plantations of hardwood species include tulip poplar, swamp white oak, walnut, and black locust.
The forest is the home of the white tailed deer which is abundant in the area and the largest of the fauna. Other animals include fox and gray squirrels, raccoon, cottontail rabbits, woodchuck, muskrat, skunk, red and gray fox, coyote, beaver, fawn opossum, and many smaller animals.
Nonpoisonous snakes are common and the two poisonous species, the rattlesnake, and copperhead are known to exist on the east side of the Des Moines River between Farmington and Bonaparte. Rattlesnakes have been found in the northern part of the Farmington Unit.
There is a variety of birds native to the woodland and its borders. Numerous species of songbirds utilize the extremely varied habitat. Game birds include some pheasant, numerous quail, and wild turkey. The woodcock is a seasonal visitor to the area and some species of migrating waterfowl make occasional use of ponds and lakes on the area.
Eleven wild turkeys (three toms and eight hens) that had been trapped in Missouri were released in the Lick Creek Unit in the fall of 1965. One hundred and forty birds were sighted during an aerial survey in 1971 indicating the introduction had been a success. During the winter of 1971-72 a trapping program was begun and turkeys captured were used to restock new areas. The trapping and restocking program continues.
The forest is named for the late Dr. Bohumil Shimek, an Iowa naturalist, University of Iowa professor and one of Iowa's early conservationists.
During the 1930s, Shimek convinced the state to acquire forest land in Lee and Van Buren Counties along with abandoned farms which were depleted from over a century of farming. These acquisitions were at first referred to as the Lee and Van Buren State Forest. The name was then changed sometime during the 1940s to the Farmington State Forest.
In 1950, Iowa honored the then late Dr. Shimek by naming the largest contiguous stand of state owned forest cover in Iowa, Shimek State Forest.
Three of the forest units are named for the towns of Donnellson, Farmington and Keosauqua.
The Croton Unit, named for the small community of Croton is comprised of three detached parcels acquired in 1964 from the U.S. Forest Service. Croton is the site of the northern most battle of the Civil War.
The Lick Creek Unit was named for the small stream that flows through it.
Shimek State Forest is managed in accordance with the DNR Forest Ecosystem Management Guide for several benefits including the production of wood products, wildlife, quality water, recreation, and protection of plant and animal communities. Forested land is divided into areas that will be regenerated using even-aged silvicultural systems, areas that will be regenerated using all-aged silvicultural systems, and areas that will receive limited management. Unique areas, such as prairies, are also maintained. Shimek State Forest Management Plan
Advance campsite reservations can be booked for Lick Creek through the park reservation system. Half of the campsites are still available for self registration on a first come first-serve basis. See maps for campground and trail locations.
The Farmington Unit contains Bitternut Lake campground with 8 sites, available on a first come first-serve policy, and a boat ramp. The Farmington Unit also has Black Oak Lake with a handicapped accessible picnic area, fishing dock, parking area, and restrooms. There is walk-in fishing access at White Oak Lake, also on the Farmington Unit. The unit has 18.9 miles of hiking trails.
The Donnellson Unit contains the White Oak campground with 11 sites, available on a first come first-serve policy. A boat ramp and a hike-in campsite is located at Shagbark Lake. The hike-in campsite is .5 mi from the boat ramp parking lot and .6 mi from the access road, which is south of the lake. The Donnellson Unit has a nature trail, 2 picnic areas, and 6.2 miles of hiking trails.
The four lakes in the Farmington and Donnellson Units are stocked with bass, channel catfish and panfish.
The Lick Creek Unit contains two equestrian campgrounds, one with 12 sites and the other with 25 sites. There are 25 miles of equestrian trails on the Lick Creek Unit, including one graveled all-weather trail.
Equestrian facilities include hitching rails, pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, gravel parking pads, a water hydrant, and shade for horses. There are two in the lower campground and one in the upper campground, as well as open air stalls for overnight stabling in both campgrounds. A day-use area, next to the upper equestrian campground, is provided for those not camping.
The Keosauqua Unit has 7.7 miles of hiking trails.
The entire forest is open to hunting (except camping areas) and hiking.

2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: Oscar de la Renta
Bold, ethnic-inspired prints that meld seamlessly with refined silhouettes and tailored sheath dresses — it's how Oscar de la Renta sees the world this Winter. A meeting of striking patterns and patchwork on full-length coats and shorter jackets, then Oscar's laydylike pieces — a tweed skirt suit, a metallic pencil skirt. Nearly every look gets a dose of fur in a cozy snood or hat, adding luxury to the sophisticated looks. Through the streamlined silhouettes, the classic construction, there's the assurance that these Oscar pieces — like any of the designer's collections — won't lose their luxe after time; you could see yourself in that same metallic tweed coat running about town now, then years down the track.

Story highlights
- Bus driver Charles Poland, 66, was killed while on a route in southeastern Alabama
- He was shot dead after refusing a man's demands to take two children
- His relatives say Poland was a gentle man who loved the children he drove and others
- He is now being remembered as a a selfless man who "made the ultimate sacrifice"
Charles Poland was doing a job he loved, driving a bus full of children he loved along rural Alabama streets and highways.
And then, in a quick flurry of bullets, he was dead.
For that -- for refusing the gunman's demand to take two schoolchildren around 4 p.m. Tuesday, then to face the horrific consequence -- Poland is being called a hero; by officials in the school system he worked for, by the people of Dale County, by his family.
"You couldn't give nothing greater than your life for a kid or anyone else," his brother-in-law Melvin Skipper told CNN affiliate WDHN.
"That's a hero."
His life began on July 16, 1946, in Payette, Idaho -- a town along the Oregon border some 2,300 miles northwest of where his life ended, in southeastern Alabama.
For 43 of his 66 years, he was married to Mary Janice Poland. During his lifetime, "Chuck" -- as he was known -- also became a father of two and "paw-paw" of two grandsons.
And he had other children as well. After some time as a substitute bus driver, Poland began full-time duty shuttling students around Dale County four years ago.
It was a job he enjoyed, his brother-in-law said, because of the children he drove.
"There was a laughter and a love that he had for the kids," Skipper recalled, reflecting on the regular conversations he'd have with his wife about "my youngins'." "They were his youngins', when he had them on the bus."
His wife told the local newspaper, the Dothan Eagle, that her husband would do anything for his young passengers, like many others.
"He loved them," she said. "He loved everybody, and he was loved."
His neighbors in the small town of Newton and relatives remembered Poland as a gentle man, a humble man, a man of faith. In words and deeds, he didn't hesitate to help others in need and wouldn't take anything in return, according to his neighbor Hilburn Benton, who talked to the Eagle.
Yet many others first learned of him after Tuesday, when a man -- whom authorities haven't identified, but neighbors and news outlets say is 65-year-old retired truck driver and Vietnam veteran Jimmy Lee Dykes -- approached his bus in Midland City.
The gunshots rang out after Poland rebuffed the suspect's attempts for two children. Dykes then took one 5-year-old boy, bringing him to the handmade bunker he had created near his home. Late Thursday night, that's where the child and his kidnapper remained -- with no sign the boy had been harmed, said Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson, but no indication a breakthrough was imminent, either.
As to Poland, he'll be memorialized Saturday night at a visitation service, followed by his funeral Sunday afternoon at the Ozark Civic Center.
"We are mourning a hero," the Dale County schools said, "... who gave his life to protect 21 students who are now home safely with their families."
That sentiment was echoed in Poland's obituary. He, the notice said, was "a selfless man whose life exemplified the Lord he served, (who) made the ultimate sacrifice by saving the lives of the children he loved."

Thursday March 21, 2013 09:42
With the stock market hitting record highs, gold has been taking a back seat. But that may not be the case for long… Gold is coming alive.
We are firm believers in going with the flow. The flow for gold is still up, but after a stellar 12 year bull market run, this market is telling us to have patience and to also continue taking advantage of weakness to accumulate at better prices.
Gold's reluctance to fall is most interesting. After rising 660% since 2001, it has fallen less than 20% from the highs. That is, after reaching its record high 1½ years ago, it quickly fell to its low. That low was tested in the Summer of 2012, and it was tested again a couple of weeks ago as gold neared this low (see top Chart 1A).
This low is key today for both gold and silver and we're watching these levels closely… $1536 and $26. If gold and silver can weather the storm by staying above these levels, they will come out smelling like a rose.
This is why central banks continue buying gold. They added 534.6 tons of gold to their reserves last year, the most since 1964. Plus, the World Gold Council also reported official holdings increased to more than $12 trillion in 2012 from $2 trillion in 2000.
India has been the largest buyer and its January gold imports jumped 23% from a year ago. China is launching its first ETF backed by gold, and its new Shanghai gold exchange has become a full on exchange. China's been a major gold producer over the last four years and it's also been importing more gold, so much that it's surpassing India.
As we've often explained, gold tends to move in intermediate cycles and that's been the case since the 1970s. This repeating A through D cyclical pattern is identified on the chart.
The As and Cs coincide with intermediate rises in the gold price and the Bs and Ds coincide with declines. For now, the gold price is in a B decline.
This B decline started last October and during these past five months gold lost 12+% from the $1796 high to the $1572 low. This decline has been longer, yet it's been normal compared to prior B declines. The worst one was in 2009 when gold fell over 13%.
As you can see, gold's leading indicator is currently at a low area (see Chart 1B). This strongly suggests that gold is oversold and it's looking for a bottom. In other words, this chart is telling us that gold's next direction is far more likely to be up, rather than down.
Chart 1A also shows gold clearly below its 23 month moving average for the second time in the 12 year bull market. The last time was during the 2008 financial crisis. But as long as gold stays above the prior D low at $1536, all is well.
On the upside, if $1536 holds and gold stays above $1590, it could jump up to the $1660 level, and the B decline would then most likely be over. Once $1660 is clearly surpassed, a new C rise will be underway and these tend to be the strongest intermediate upmoves.
Gold's next stepping stone resistance levels before a record high could be reached are the $1750, $1800 and $1903 levels. Gold would be flexing its muscles, however, above $1800, a level it's failed to overcome since Sept 2011.
On the downside, however, if gold falls below $1536 we could see sharper down moves before the lows are seen. If this happens, we could possibly see the $1300-$1450 level tested, in a worst case scenario. But we don't think that's going to happen.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Belmont attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Sunrise in Delaware brings Easter services to the beach
Many towns around Delaware ushered in Easter Sunday with services held at sunrise. One of those was next to the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach.
People gathered in the shadow of Dolle's before dawn this year. The crowd that gathered in the dark did so knowing that the combination of an early Easter Sunday on the calendar combine with a daylight savings time that puts more sunlight at the end of the day would give them a spectacular view of the morning sun over the ocean.
The Lewes-Rehoboth Association of churches sponsored the 6:30am service. Several hundred attended the services. Some were dressed in their winter coats, but others in spring gear. Memories of a warm Sataurday still fresh in their minds. They sat back in the same seats where they will listen to music at the Rehoboth Beach bandstand in just a few months.
Our NewsWorks contributor, Chuck Snyder captured some of the sights.

Place-n-Time map viewer
Subject description: now available in an .sfs package.
Puppy users in the USA who have an interest in maps may want to take Place-n-Time for a spin.
This application displays maps using data from the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The data available doesn't provide for a general-purpose atlas with street names and such, like, for instance, Open Street Map data, but will be of interest for those who would like to examine an area as digitized by the Geological Survey in these early digital line graphs "DLGs".
The package includes sample files for learning how to use the application, and you may then download files covering your area of interest directly from the USGS. Also included is an illustrated user guide, which is recommended reading (and also available online:
Place-n-Time User Guide
Previous versions of Place-n-Time were only available in a .tar.gz package which included an installation script. It is still available in that form, but I thought I would add an .sfs package so that it could be easily loaded only when needed, and not take up space in a Puppy save file.
This is a beta version. Questions and comments are most welcome.

In my next post I'll try to give a brief tutorial about getting around in the application.

Place-n-Time will open and display a sample large scale map: Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S.A.
When you move your pointer into the Work Window, you will note that the Coordinate Box at the lower left will display two forms of coordinates: Northings & Eastings and Latitude & Longitude.
As you move your pointer over the map surface you will also note that the state, county, and town are shown in the Location Box at the lower right.
Pointing at objects will highlight them. If you point at a line, the length of the line will be displayed in the Status Box at the bottom. (Lengths won't be displayed for maps with a non-linear coordinate system.)
To zoom in, point to a northern corner of your area of interest, then hold the left pointer button as you move the pointer across and down to the opposite corner before releasing the button. To zoom out, do the same thing, but start from a southern corner.
To move the map surface, grab it with the middle pointer button.
To load an intermediate scale map for the same area, place the pointer anywhere on the surface of the current map and press or click the right button, then choose "Load Intermediate Scale" from the popup menu.
You can, of course, load small, intermediate, or large scale maps by choosing the appropriate item from the right-button menu.
Once you download a collection of maps, you may also use this method to load maps for areas surrounding the original map surface.
Don't be confused by the
entry in the
menu. That is for loading .shp and .gchar files created by another application, not the USGS files. The USGS files are always loaded with the right-button menu.
For more details see
Getting Around
in the user guide.
In my next post I'll try to explain how to download map data.

Will report next days on it !

Hi Karl,
Thanks for trying this out.

Yes, Place-n-Time is not very demanding when it comes to dependencies. I'm a believer in using the minimum libraries necessary to do the job, rather than require the installation of a lot of new libraries. Official Puppies from 4.3.1 and newer should already have the necessary dependencies. I think this build of Place-n-Time will run with any glibc version 2.3 or higher. (The other package (the .tar.gz) has a build that will actually run with glibc 2.1.1 and gtk 1.2 with a 2.0.36 kernel. We're talking backward compatibility to 1999!)
Happy testing! I'll look forward to hearing how it works (or doesn't) for you.

Hi npierce,
I will try using Precise 5.6 with 597 MB available RAM (without a swap facility) and will report back tomorrow by editing here.
My regards
I followed the instructions and all my tests went impressively fast and well (except for a change of location - perhaps because I did not Log on).
After closing my browser/above help, RAM used was about 50 MB and CPU % ranged from frequent single figures to a rare 73%.

Have installed it correctly by
cp -a --remove-destination /mnt/placentime_view-0.03-1.sfs.26748/* /
which made it necessary to remove the links from /usr/local/share/* into my /opt/placeandtime folder manually , because --remove-destination did not work as expected .
No dice .
Xorg driver is i810 btw .
Since I thought it would be kind of similar to googeearth, which needs Mesa/GL driver activated by Xorg , I ldd 'ed it , but no reference to mesa or any libGLUT* or whatsoever .

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry to hear that Place-n-Time has been uncooperative for you.

I've been looking into this. I've even tried running in Puppy 4.3.1. While I have not been able to reproduce the same error message, I think that probably the lookup_nad file got corrupted. It lives in the /usr/local/share/placentime/essential/ directory.
If I corrupt my copy I see that the application does go into a loop and starts eating memory, although I never get the error message that you did.
I probably should post the md5sum for the the package. Here it is:
6ea653f5b0cf2da53cfce4225752657c placentime_view-0.03-1.sfs
Also, here is the md5sum for the lookup_nad file:
5094d948800a51a6712ae623a921617f lookup_nad
While I am hoping that replacing your copy of the file will solve that problem for you, you have discovered something that I should fix, since a corrupt data file should cause the application to exit gracefully, and certainly not cause it to start gobbling memory.
While I had anticipated that most people would simply install the package and run it as is, it should be possible to place the files elsewhere in your directory tree if you so desire.
To install Place-n-Time into your /opt/ directory, you will need to edit the /etc/placentimerc.first file. That is the configuration file that tells placentime were everything lives. It is currently configured for the places where things live in the .sfs file.
You can probably figure out what you have to change just by looking at the file, but for details see
Editing Run Control Files
in the user guide.
The /etc/placentimerc.first is one file that cannot be relocated. You can also have a $HOME/.placentime/placentimerc file which has the same format, and will override settings in the /etc/placentimerc.first file. In fact, if you don't want to add anything to your /etc/ directory, you can simply:
mkdir $HOME/.placentime
# mv /etc/placentimerc.first $HOME/.placentime/placentimerc
You will need at least one of those two files.
As you have discovered, there is no need for Mesa/GL.
Thanks again for taking the time to look at this.

Thanks for trying this out and for the feedback about speed, memory, and CPU use.
I'm glad that you didn't run into the problems that Karl did.

Hi npierce,
Understood, US only. However, since Karl is in Europe and you were pleased he had tried "it" I just followed his example, because you have both cracked problems for me.
My regards to you both

Hi Norman !
bash-3.00# md5sum /root/placentime_view-0.03-1.sfs
6ea653f5b0cf2da53cfce4225752657c /root/placentime_view-0.03-1.sfs
bash-3.00# md5sum /usr/local/share/placentime/essential/lookup_nad
5094d948800a51a6712ae623a921617f /usr/local/share/placentime/essential/lookup_nad
seems to be OK .
It might be caused by recompiled libraries on my side too . Until now I could not notice any problems with other programs though .
What I should probably mention :
Am throttled down to analog speed until the day after tomorrow and have a wget running in another case since more than 24 hours in another terminal .
I hope that lack of a current available reasonable speed or lack of any internet connection nor firewall issues do not choke some features of the program .

Template:Arc InfoboxThe Daily Life Arc is the 1st story arc of the Katekyō Hitman Reborn! series. It focuses on Tsuna's life as his infant home tutor Reborn appears and as he begins to learn about the Mafia. This is also when he begins to gain more Guardians and friends. During this arc, the manga felt very much like a light hearted comedy story, and while there was some fighting it wasn't a big focus of the plot. It was after this arc that the manga took a big turn, becoming a more serious toned and intense battle manga. Tsuna himself also changed into a capable fighter at the end of this arc, when during it he was still a weak boy who needed his friends to protect him.
Plot Overview
Useless Tsuna and Home Tutor Reborn
After losing another basketball game and being forced to clean alone, Tsunayoshi Sawada decides to leave school early only to find that his mother hired a infant as his Home Tutor, named Reborn. However, Reborn announces that his intentions is to make Tsuna a good Mafia Boss for the Vongola Famiglia. The next day, Tsuna and Reborn are walking to school and bumps into Tsuna's crush, Kyoko Sasagawa. Reborn notices Tsuna's affection for her and shoots him with a Dying Will Bullet that gives him the strength to tell Kyoko how he feels. However, he ends up making her run away and is forced into a match with the school's Kendo Club Captain, Mochida. Tsuna is able to defeat Mochida with the help of Reborn making him think that Reborn isn't a bad person until he accidentally steps on one of his grenades. suddenly tsuna tell kyoko that he love her.Dick
Family Members Acquired
As Tsuna tries to continue his normal life, he meets up Smokin' Bomb Hayato who tries to kill him in order to gain the position of the Tenth Boss. However, with Reborn's help, Tsuna is able to stop him and also save his life from his backfiring Triple Bombs technique causing Gokudera to follow him and aim to be his right hand man. One day, with Gokudera away, Tsuna plays a game of baseball with the baseball team's regular, Takeshi Yamamoto, but ends up making his team lose and forced to clean the field alone until Yamamoto arrives and helps him. Following Tsuna's advice, Yamamoto stays behind to practice but accidentally break his arm causing him to attempt to suicide the next day. With Reborn's help, Tsuna is able to save Yamamoto from death and gain a new friend. However, Reborn thinks of it differently and thinks that Tsuna has acquired another family member.
Friends or Enemies?
With Reborn at his side, Tsuna can't help but meet more strange people including a 5-year-old crybaby assassin from the Bovino Famiglia, named Lambo, Gokudera's older sister who initially tries to kill Tsuna with her poison cooking, Bianchi, a neighborhood girl who attempted to take Reborn away but ends up loving Tsuna when he saves her from drowning, Haru Miura, Kyoko's older brother that constantly tries to get Tsuna to join the boxing club, Ryohei Sasagawa, a perverted doctor/assassin that saves Tsuna from dying from the incurable disease, Skullitis, Doctor Shamal, the head of the school's discipline committee who beats up Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto, Kyoya Hibari, a professional of being assassinated from the Vongola Family, Moretti, another infant assassin from China who doesn't speak Japanese, I-Pin, Reborn's former student, Dino, and a boy that is able to rank anything, Fuuta.
The Tomaso Famiglia
During Tsuna's Second Year in school, he meets the boss of a rival family the Tomaso Famiglia, Longchamp Naito whose family owns the Desolation Bullet that he uses to get people's sympathy. Reborn forces Tsuna and his family to infiltrate Longchamp's house in order to eliminate the other family but the plan ends up backfiring when Longchamp and his subordinates decide to stay at Tsuna's house while they rebuild the house. Longchamp later gets Tsuna to go bowling with him along with three girls that he thinks are cute.
Peaceful Vacation Ruined: War at Mafia Land
Tsuna's mother, Nana, won two tickets for a vacation and takes Tsuna with her on the cruise ship. However, Lambo, Bianchi, Reborn, I-pin, Gokudera and Longchamp follow them and the group arrives at Mafia Land. While everyone else is enjoying their vacation, Reborn forced Tsuna to go to the island's front desk and announce that they've arrived but ends up in the training ground behind Mafia Land when he failed the test to bribe a government official. As Tsuna is trained by Reborn's rival, Colonello, the Carcassa Famiglia arrives and starts an all out war with the families at Mafia Land. With Gokudera's help, Tsuna ends up as the leader of the families' alliance and is forced to fight the Carcassa Famiglia. However, Reborn and Colonello easily stops the war and Tsuna's group returns home before Tsuna and Gokudera are able to enjoy their vacation.
The Weapon Tuner and The Assassins
One day, a weapon tuner from the Vongola Famiglia named Giannini arrives, and tries to modify the group's weapons. However, he ends up making Reborn's guns useless, Gokudera's dynamites as party favors, and Lambo's Ten Year Bazooka to malfunction, making Gokudera shrink into a toddler. However, Gokudera is able to see some assassins that seems to be invisible to Tsuna, Kyoko and Yamamoto. But with Yamamoto's help, Gokudera is able to defeat the assassins and save Tsuna's life.

Manga and Anime Differences
- In the manga, this entire arc took place before the Kokuyo Arc. However, in the anime, it was split in into 3 parts: the starting of the anime, after Kokuyo Arc and in-between Varia Arc and Future Arc.
- The introduction of Takeshi Yamamoto differs between the manga and the anime. In the manga, he breaks his arm during practice after he helps Tsuna in cleaning the baseball field and attempted suicide. In the anime, he is one of the players on the volleyball team that invited Tsuna to play for them.
- Naito Longchamp and his subordinates did not make an appearance in the anime due to the Tomaso Famiglia's low popularity.
