Life Story

Elaine Buckler

Obituaries in Hyannis, MA | Cape Cod Times

Send Flowers

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Elaine “Nina” Frances Burnham Buckler, 94, at home in Centerville on June 21, 2022 surrounded by love from her family. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister. Elaine Frances Burnham Buckler was born on May 24, 1928, the oldest child of Harold and Irene Burnham and lived and loved her whole life on Cape Cod. She graduated from Barnstable High School in 1946 and married Charlie Buckler in 1949. Together they built a life together surrounded by family and friends.

In her early adult years, Elaine worked at HP Hood, Barnstable County Bank, and then became a homemaker and community volunteer. She loved to read, solve crossword puzzles, tend her flower garden, and was a skilled knitter and seamstress, making sweaters and clothing for her children and grandchildren. She was passionate about politics and remained concerned about the future of this country until her death. She was a loving, caring person who made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. Elaine had an amazing group of lifelong friends who regularly got together for fun and laughs and to share in life’s milestones. They called themselves the Tuesday Tooters.

Summer was Elaine’s season. She loved everything about summer-the warmth of the sun, the flowers in her window boxes and in her yard, the summer menus, and the beach. She made prize worthy fruit pies. She spent countless memorable summers at CBA with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and her close group of friends.

Nina is survived by her adoring husband of more than 73 years, Charlie Buckler, her four wonderful children Sue Herman (Bruce), Gary Buckler (Karen) Jean Planert (Tom), and Bruce Buckler (Patty Chadwick). Nina’s biggest thrill in life was showing her adoring eleven grandchildren unconditional love. She is survived by Abigail Buckler, Aaron Buckler, David Herman, Nathan Buckler, Ben Planert, Leslie Buckler, Susie Pescosolido, Matthew Herman, Alex Buckler, Mae Planert, and Zachary Buckler. She is also survived by Eva Herman, Miles Herman, Charlie Pescosolido, Cullen Buckler, and Teddy Pescosolido, her great grandchildren and her brother James Burnham. She was preceded in death by her sister Betty Lockhart.

Nina meant the world to all of her grandchildren. You see, that’s what made her so special, she had a way to make each grandchild feel like she’d been waiting all day to see them and until then her day wasn’t complete. She spent her summers spoiling her grandchildren at her beloved CBA soaking in the sun, watching the grandkids swim, and sneaking money into their hands to get a treat at the snack bar. One of her grandchildren described summer at Nina’s house as Utopia. She didn’t blink an eye when her whole family piled into her home making a mess opening gifts on Christmas or pouring out their candy from their Easter eggs, after a competitive hunt. She spent her winters making sure her grandkids could play hooky from school to indulge in a cup of clam chowder at the Hearth and Kettle. She made sure on snow days to have the sleds ready, and when it was time to come inside, warm chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate were waiting. Nina was a hero to her grandchildren because she made all of us feel so loved and special. We will miss her more than words can express. We love you Nina.

Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Elaine Buckler’s name to Visiting Angels Route 28, Suite 1 Harwich, Massachusetts 02645 or Hospice -the Amedisys Foundation 3854 Way, Suite A, Baton Rouge, LA 70816

LEADING OFF: Trade deadline, Soto sweepstakes, deGrom return

Tue, Aug 2, 2022
MLB News (AP)

LEADING OFF: Trade deadline, Soto sweepstakes, deGrom return

A look at what's happening around the majors today:

The Juan Soto sweepstakes come down to the wire, with baseball's 6 p.m. EDT trade deadline fast approaching.

Soto is the biggest name on the block, with Washington considering bids for the 23-year-old slugger after he turned down a $440 million, 15-year deal to stay with the team. Soto can be a free agent after 2024, and the St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers are considered among the clubs most likely to offer a trade package that could persuade Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo to unload his franchise cornerstone.

Willson Contreras, J.D. Martinez and Josh Bell are some other dangerous hitters likely available, while the starting pitcher pool could include Giants lefty Carlos Rodon, Marlins right-hander Pablo Lopez and Red Sox righty Nathan Eovaldi.

The trade market got busy Monday as several teams made big moves, with the Yankees acquiring Athletics starter Frankie Montas, the Padres picking up All-Star closer Josh Hader from the first-place Brewers, and the Astros obtaining slugger Trey Mancini from the Orioles.

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom finally returns from a string of injuries to make his season debut in Washington. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner has not pitched in the majors since July 7, 2021.

  • "I'm definitely excited," deGrom said Sunday. "It's been a long time. This has been a pretty slow process of coming back, so excited to be out there. Nerves haven't really set in yet, but I'm sure Tuesday I'll be pretty nervous and I have a feeling it's going to feel like my debut."

    The 34-year-old right-hander was sidelined the final three months of last season with right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow, then was shut down late in spring training because of a stress reaction in his right scapula.

    Even without deGrom, the Mets have won a season-high seven straight. They've spent nearly the entire season in first place in the NL East and hope his return can help them hold off defending World Series champion Atlanta.

    Veteran catcher Yadier Molina is expected to rejoin the St. Louis Cardinals for the opener of a three-game series at home against the Chicago Cubs.

    The 40-year-old Molina, sidelined since June 16 with knee inflammation, has played only 38 games in his final major league season. He's been on a rehab assignment recently at Triple-A Memphis.

    Longtime batterymate Adam Wainwright (7-8, 3.28 ERA) pitches for the Cardinals.

    Trea Turner tries to extend his hitting streak to 20 games when Tyler Anderson (11-1, 2.61 ERA) and the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the rival Giants in San Francisco.

    Turner homered Monday night in an 8-2 victory as the NL West leaders won for the fifth time in six games to improve to 23-5 since June 30.

    San Francisco is 3-9 since the All-Star break. Alex Wood (7-8, 4.11) pitches for the Giants against his former team.

    Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (left knee inflammation) is scheduled to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento and could join the team as soon as Thursday.

    Dodgers rookie James Outman is 5 for 6 with a home run and a double through his first two major league games.

    "It's pretty rare and good to see a young player just not let the emotions get to you and speed the game up," manager Dave Roberts said.

    While teams all around the majors were looking to bring in new talent ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, the Atlanta Braves locked up one of their own stars for the long haul.

    All-Star third baseman Austin Riley and the defending World Series champions agreed Monday to a $212 million, 10-year contract that starts in 2023, the most lucrative deal in team history and a surprise given he had three additional seasons under club control.

    The deal with the 25-year-old includes a $20 million club option for 2033 with no buyout, which could make the agreement worth $232 million over 11 seasons.

    Riley hit .423 with 11 homers, 25 RBIs and 21 runs in July. His 26 extra-base hits in July were the most by a Braves player in any month, passing Hall of Famer Hank Aaron's previous record set in July 1961.

    The big month left Riley leading the majors with 61 extra-base hits.

    Riley is earning $3.95 million this year after losing in arbitration. He would have been eligible for arbitration ahead of the 2023, '24 and '25 seasons, then could have become a free agent.

    Riley is hitting .301 with 29 home runs, 68 RBIs and a .964 OPS in 101 games this season.

Castillo stays on a roll, Ks eight as Reds beat Marlins 5-3

CINCINNATI (AP) - Luis Castillo pitched seven effective innings in likely his final start with Cincinnati, leading the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.

Castillo is one of the top players on the market ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Reds are last in the NL Central, and the talented right-hander could help push a contender over the top.

Castillo (4-4) allowed three runs - including JJ Bleday's first big league homer - and six hits. He also struck out eight and walked one in his first start since July 14.

He gave Cincinnati fans one last moment after Jesus Sanchez's RBI double for Miami left runners on second and third with none out in the seventh.

Castillo responded with three straight strikeouts - all swinging. He walked off the mound to a standing ovation, took off his cap, and gestured to the crowd.

Nick Fortes also homered for Miami, which has dropped seven of 10. Braxton Garrett (2-4) struck out eight in five innings, but was charged with five runs and seven hits.

Cincinnati grabbed control with four runs in the first. Kyle Farmer hit a two-run double and scored on Donovan Solano's double. Matt Reynolds tacked on an RBI single.

Fortes led off the third with his fourth homer, and Bleday opened the fourth with a drive to right in his fifth big league game.

  • The 29-year-old Castillo signed a one-year, $7.35 million contract in March, avoiding arbitration. He missed all of spring training due to a right shoulder strain and didn't make his season debut until May 9. But he is rolling now, improving to 2-0 with a 1.58 ERA in his last five starts.

    After Castillo departed, Alexis Diaz got three outs before Hunter Strickland earned his sixth save.

    Reds: OF Albert Almora Jr. was sent to Triple-A Louisville for a rehab assignment. He has been on the COVID-19-related injured list.

    Marlins: SS Miguel Rojas felt something in his back during warmups and was held out of the lineup. ... RHP Zach Pop left his outing on Monday with a blister on his throwing hand. He is getting laser light treatment and plans to throw off the mound Thursday. ... RHP Max Meyer had an MRI on Monday which is still being evaluated by doctors. There was no update on the extent of his injury.

    Hard-throwing rookie Graham Ashcraft (4-2, 4.70 ERA) makes his 12th start for Cincinnati in the finale of the four-game series. Ashcraft has 40 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings. The Marlins have not announced their starter for Thursday.

Mountain Biking

Recommended Posts

Hi all

The good lady and I are looking to take the 'van away and go mountain biking from 7th - 10th Feb. We're both resonable cyclists and have decent bikes - want something reasonably challenging.

We want to stay on a nice site that has good riding nearby - and a pub preferably :-), no more than 2 hours from Somerset. Everywhere I've found on Exmoor, Dartmoor or the Quantocks is shut :-(

Any ideas guys?

Cheers, Tom

This war set online slot shows off its depth with sniper, terrorist, SWAT member and insurgent, and also Spec-Ops drives it home with machine gun, grenade, pistol and knife wrapping up the complete feel. Betting on Spec-Ops is easy, starting with an initial starting bet of $0.01 up to a large bet of $10, you will find there are a lot of options. An insane win will use multiple wilds in the winning combinations. Its bad when at the start of your spin when your first two reels fail to line up but there is always an ability of winning a lot with the scatter grouping. We can recommend other online slots like Reels of Legend as it has the 5 reels also, some others including Vintage and Mystic Woods are close as well. Many of Cubeia online games like this one play similarly so play some others as well..

More about on the Spec-Ops Online Slot Machine

We really enjoyed working with Spec-Ops, the war designed game offers some good amount of production that places you inside the game displaying the sniper, terrorist, SWAT member and insurgent art and graphics. If you search out war slots I bet you will really appreciate this slot too. A lot of time went by and I see this slot machine actually hooked me, as always have fun and gamble smart.

Serving the University Community Since 1890

As first normal graduation in three years approaches, fourth years express gratitude for their time despite pandemic

Students lament missed study abroad and social opportunities, but remain prideful of the memories made

For last year’s graduation ceremonies, degree conferral ceremonies occurred in Scott Stadium with a two guest maximum in order to adhere to gathering limits.

For last year’s graduation ceremonies, degree conferral ceremonies occurred in Scott Stadium with a two guest maximum in order to adhere to gathering limits.

Lea en español

With four full weeks of classes remaining before the Class of 2022 walks the Lawn, signifying the end of their time at the University, fourth-year students reflect with pride on all they have accomplished. Still, members of the Class of 2022 can’t help but note the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic limited in-person social interactions and community building for the majority of their college lives.

The Class of 2022 is the only class currently at the University that has experienced a full year without COVID-19 restrictions, before the pandemic forced the University to move classes online in March 2020. The first COVID-19 public health guidelines came just weeks before the Class of 2020 was set to graduate, with a modified in-person ceremony offered to those in the Class of 2020 a week before a similarly modified ceremony for the Class of 2021 last year.

For last year’s Final Exercises, degree conferral ceremonies occurred in Scott Stadium in order to adhere to gathering limits. Graduates were allowed only two guests, who were unable to watch graduates proceed down the lawn. This year, Final Exercises will take place normally, for the first time since spring 2019.

Fourth-year Batten student Audrey Hirshberg is excited for Final Exercises, but feels that the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted some key aspects of her college experience.

“I didn't have a chance to study abroad, and I spent the semester I should've been abroad living at home and taking two classes while working part time to get additional experience in a job related to my future career,” Hirshberg said. “I tried to make the most out of the flexibility COVID afforded to me within online classes, but I definitely missed some of the social aspects you expect from college due to the pandemic.”

Fourth-year Engineering student Jack Wiler agreed that the pandemic disrupted his college experience, though he noted that many classes in his department already had virtual options, meaning that the academic situation changed little for him.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic did disrupt Wiler’s social life, which he said worsened his overall University experience. All of Wiler’s most cherished college memories are social — whether as a first-year when the men’s basketball team won a national championship or as a second-year when Virginia Football beat Virginia Tech.

“So as far as my education, it didn't really change a lot to be honest,” WIler said. “But socially, I mean, I'm a pretty social guy and I think it hurt my academics in that everything sucked.”

Having expressed remorse for missed social opportunities, Wiler said he still feels as if he was able to complete “85 percent” of the traditional college experience, and said he is thankful for the time he was able to spend with his friends and members of student organizations. Particularly meaningful to Wiler are the friends he made in the Whethermen, the University’s oldest improv comedy group.

“I would still say that I ended up being able to sort of experience everything that you can really hope to experience in college — the sort of idea of the college experience,” Wiler said.

Hirshberg also felt that she was able to make the most of her time at the University, especially within the last year when in-person student life returned to Grounds — vaccinated students, faculty and staff returned to normal in-person learning this spring, and masking requirements have been steadily lifted as the semester progresses.

“I think I'll miss the culture and community of the University the most,” Hirshberg said. “Never again in my life will I live within walking distance of all of my best friends and have the opportunity to live, learn, and have fun with them on a daily basis.”

Fourth-year College student Julia Paraiso expressed gratitude for the opportunity to have a fully normal first year, citing the importance of establishing relationships and a sense of community before students were sent home.

“So we already had a basis of community and this foundation that we could feel comfortable with,” Paraiso said. “We knew that we had friends and this group to come back to and check in with during the pandemic.”

The disruption of the pandemic also affected local hotels and businesses, including Graduate Charlottesville, a hotel on the Corner that saw its bookings fall during the pandemic. However, with normal Final Exercises on tap, bookings are increasing and Final Exercise rushes seem to be returning to normal.

“Graduate Charlottesville is nearly sold out for graduation weekend, and overall we’re seeing occupancy returning to pre-pandemic levels,” general manager Gillian Clark said. “We’re honored to serve as a home base for students and their families during such a special part of the U.Va. experience. We’re looking forward to celebrating alongside the Class of 2022.”

With Final Exercises festivities rapidly approaching, some students reflected on how short their time was here at the University, especially in light of the pandemic. Fourth-year Batten student Logan Botts is studying within a “three and one” program whereby a student graduates with an undergraduate degree and remains at the University for an extra year to earn a graduate degree.

Botts said that having now completed four full years at the University, she reflects on her time with pride.

“I definitely feel I have a greater sense of excitement about this year and really being able to graduate in the same ceremony as many of my closest friends,” Botts said. “And as I get closer and closer to the end, I think I'm starting to realize the magnitude of what I've accomplished in these four years, and it's really nice to take that time to reflect on that as well.”

Paraiso reflected on her time at the University with gratitude yet frustration, and discussed exasperation over a lack of distinction between students and administrators in handling the pandemic that defined her final three years at the University.

Paraiso was specifically disappointed in the University for allowing the Inter-Fraternity Council and Inter-Sorority Council executive committees to make decisions regarding whether or not rush events should be virtual this year. University leadership encouraged ISC and IFC leadership to move rush events — which typically bring together hundreds of students in close quarters for one to two weeks — online, but did not require it. Ultimately, the IFC opted to hold recruitment entirely online, while the ISC permitted chapters to host the final round of recruitment and bid day in-person.

“Just relying so heavily on third and fourth-fears to make these sweeping decisions on how to keep hundreds of students safe —  I think that was just the completely incorrect reaction,” Paraiso said.

In spite of missed opportunities brought on by the pandemic, students couldn’t help but think to all graduation represents.

“Graduation represents the culmination of all the hard work that I put in over the past four years, but also the support that I’ve gotten from a lot of people around me be that family, friends, faculty — so I’m definitely really excited for it,” Botts said.

Former staffers say racism, sexual harassment rampant at Royal Canadian Mint

Female security guards at the Royal Canadian Mint operation in Ottawa faced constant sexual harassment and racial taunts while superiors either stood by or joined in, according to several former employees who spoke to CBC News.

Racial slurs hurled at Black officers while female officers endured sexist behaviour, former employees say

Female security guards at the Royal Canadian Mint operation in Ottawa faced constant sexual harassment and racial taunts while superiors either stood by or joined in, according to several former employees who spoke to CBC News.

The former staffers said white protective services officers used the N-word against Black colleagues, called them slaves and compared one woman to a chimpanzee, while another former female employee said she was sexually harassed frequently.

They said the sexism, harassment and racism drove them to quit their jobs and abandon their dreams of entering law enforcement.

CBC News interviewed five employees who described a toxic, destructive workplace atmosphere that was enabled by management.

Four spoke on the condition they not be named. A fifth filed a human rights complaint and is speaking publicly.

"The damage is done," said Joelle Hainzelin, who worked as a Mint protective services officer from 2011 until 2019.

"I am not the same person I was a few years ago."

Racist persecution and panic attacks

Hainzelin filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission last year after she raised her concerns with the Mint's president, which triggered an external investigation.

She said the stress, harassment and persecution caused her to lose more than 60 lbs during her eight years at the Crown corporation.

Hainzelin, who quit the Mint in July 2019, said more than a year passed before she could drive by her old workplace without suffering a panic attack.

"I trained myself just to drive by and then diminish that physical reaction every single time," Hainzelin said.

"I did that on my own because I don't want it to win."

After she quit the Royal Canadian Mint in 2019, Joelle Hainzelin said it took her more than a year to train herself to drive by her former workplace without suffering from a panic attack. (Submitted by Joelle Hainzelin)

Hainzelin said she was the only officer of colour when she started working at the Mint's security department in 2011.

She said some of her male colleagues jokingly told her not to steal anything from their homes, asked her whether she had attended school in a mud hut and whether she had gang tattoos, and wrote her notes on coconuts. She said team leaders and supervisors participated in this harassment.

Hainzelin said that, as a new employee, she was very reluctant to push back.

"You don't rat on people," Hainzelin said. "So you shut up."

The "tipping point" came, she said, during a workplace conversation about Jane Goodall's research with chimpanzees.

"I had one officer point at me and he said, 'Chimpanzee? We work with one,'" Hainzelin said.

Racism, sexual harassment allegations at Royal Canadian Mint

1 year ago
Duration 2:00
Several former security guards at the Royal Canadian Mint have told CBC News they faced a toxic work environment that included racism and sexual harassment. They said the atmosphere was so nasty, they feared reprisals if they filed grievances.

The next day, Hainzelin said, she wrote an email to her colleagues asking them to stop.

She said it was unintentionally forwarded to a manager, who — instead of apologizing — told her she should have raised the issue privately with him.

She said she was later called into a meeting with human resources, a manager and a member of her union, and was urged to divulge the name of the person who made the insult.

Hainzelin said she was shunned by her colleagues after the meeting.

"I have never felt more alone in my life than that time," she said.

Unsolicited harassment and touching

Another employee, who spoke to CBC News on the condition they not be named, described the workplace as a boys' club tolerant of sexual harassment, racial discrimination and bullying.

The employee said Black members were called the N-word and their features were mocked.

"It would be expected, especially at a Crown corporation, that the respect and integrity of their employees would be of the utmost importance and that there would be zero tolerance for this type of behaviour," the employee said.

"But, unfortunately, it is only the tip of the iceberg at this 'fortress.'"

A third former employee said she heard white protective services officers call Black officers "slaves" and say they were lazy and slow.

The former employee said she was subjected to unsolicited touching and advances by staff members, including supervisors.

She said one supervisor told her that if he wasn't her boss, he would "flirt" with her.

She said that when she started at the Mint, a male team leader groped her while he was showing her the grounds. She said he told her he was trying to prove there weren't any cameras in the area, and to not to take it the wrong way.

She said he also squeezed her thigh on one occasion, then claimed that he was just trying to show her that a desk could be raised and lowered.

Male officers would often look through photos of female employees and potential new hires, voicing opinions on whether they were "f***able" and criticizing their body weight, she said.

Management 'choose to look the other way,' says ex-staffer

"After leaving the Mint, my self-esteem [and] my self-confidence were extremely affected," the employee said.

"How can one feel dignified to wear the uniform while being disrespected by your own teammates/colleagues?"

Another former employee said management knows what female officers have been through and "choose to look the other way."

"The Royal Canadian Mint and its treatment of its employees has scarred myself and others in ways that will take a long time to overcome," she said.

One former employee said male officers described women as weak and said they do not belong in the department.

She said she was told she couldn't go to a posting at a satellite job site or attend an out-of-town event because it was cheaper for the Mint to pay for two male officers to share a room, rather than booking a single room for a woman.

Mint promises to act on external investigation

Hainzelin said none of the Black officers who joined the security department while she was there were given opportunities to work outside of the Mint because they were always told they didn't have enough experience.

"There is a systemic issue," she said.

At the end of 2018, Hainzelin said she experienced two incidents of sexual harassment at a workplace Christmas party while a sexual harassment investigation was underway involving another officer, who eventually left the Mint.

Hainzelin said she had to remove the hand of a team leader from her thigh and rebuff another officer who propositioned her.

On her last day of work in July 2019, she said, she told a manager that he would have to confront the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. She said his response was: "'That's why I hired a bunch of lesbians.'"

Hainzelin wrote an email describing her experiences to Mint president Marie Lemay last year before she filed a Canadian Human Rights Commission complaint.

"I will take a bit of time to reflect on what I have read," Lemay said in her June 2020 reply to Hainzelin. "But rest assured, it will influence the way forward as we look at concrete measures to create an inclusive work environment."

Marie Lemay, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint, hired an external investigator after former protective services officer Joelle Hainzelin described a toxic workplace experience. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)

In a statement to CBC News, the Mint confirmed Lemay personally responded to Hainzelin's email and hired an independent consultant to conduct a workplace assessment, which included input from current and former employees.

"The alleged incidents could not be further opposed to our values and culture and describe behaviour that we do not tolerate in any form," Lemay said in the statement.

All five employees CBC spoke to said they were interviewed for the investigation in late 2020 and early 2021.

The Mint is still awaiting the report from the external reviewer. Lemay said she plans to implement its recommendations.

In 2018, said Lemay, the Mint introduced unconscious bias and harassment prevention training for all employees, along with a system that allows employees to report workplace concerns anonymously.

Lemay said the Mint initiated a diversity and inclusion action plan in June. She said 90 per cent of employees recently surveyed indicated they would feel comfortable reporting a concern.

In 2019, the Mint hired Arleen Huggins of the law firm Koskie Minsky LLP to conduct a corporation-wide external investigation into a complaint of harassment and discrimination unrelated to the one Hainzelin made in her email to Lemay.

Huggins concluded at the time that individual allegations of discrimination and/or harassment were "unsupportable," according to her report, which was obtained by CBC News through an access to information request.

Union says it wasn't aware

All the employees who spoke to CBC News said they didn't file union grievances because they feared workplace retribution.

The president of the union representing the Mint's protective services officers said he was not aware of any incidents apart from the 2018 sexual harassment investigation.

Clint Crabtree, president and business agent of Amalgamated Transit Union 279, said members should feel safe at work and should report any form of discrimination.

"For us to be able to support them, they need to be able to let us know," Crabtree said.

"The Mint, if that is happening, needs to make sure that it's not happening … They need to address it immediately."

Crabtree said he's reached out to the Mint's union representative to follow up.

"If people don't feel safe coming to their employer or their union, that's a big problem."

CCHF: Revised BCRA Has No Opt-Out from Obamacare

For Immediate Release
July 13, 2017

Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom: Revised BCRA Has No Opt-Out from Obamacare

Bill Does Not Repeal/Replace Obamacare, Reject Cost-Sharing Reduction Subsidies, Repeal Mandates Nor Eliminate All Obamacare Taxes

ST. PAUL, Minn.—As Congress continues to debate the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) and push for a vote, Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, says the revised bill has its merits, but also many negative aspects.

“There are things to like in BRCA 3.0, such as allowing health savings accounts to pay for premiums,” said CCHF president and co-founder Twila Brase. “This begins to equalize tax treatment of premium costs for individuals, however, not everyone wants or has a health savings account, so broader tax equity should be considered.

“There are also many things not to like about the revised GOP Senate BCRA bill,” she continued, “including the fact that it’s not a ‘repeal or replace’ of Obamacare, it authorizes payment for the cost-sharing reduction subsidies that are currently under litigation by the GOP in the U.S. House, the individual and employer mandates are not actually repealed—the penalties are just zeroed out—and three of the Obamacare taxes are retained.”

Furthermore, Brase added, the catastrophic coverage language is a shell game and doesn’t appear to allow anyone to escape the high-cost premiums of Obamacare for at least three reasons:

  1. While the revised BCRA opens up catastrophic plans to all-comers, there’s no guarantee that insurers will offer it.
  2. Because insurers offering catastrophic plans must offer at least one Obamacare compliant policy, it’s not clear that indemnity health insurance—true catastrophic policies with truly affordable prices—can be offered.
  3. Catastrophic coverage enrollees would be placed in a risk pool with people who are buying non-catastrophic coverage. The draft language forces the insurer to put everyone they cover in the individual market—everyone who buys their own insurance either off the exchange or on the exchange, mandate-rich or catastrophic-narrow—into the same risk pool. Because most individuals with pre-existing conditions, better called ‘uninsurable conditions,’ would likely buy the more expensive, mandate-rich Obamacare plans, those buying the less expensive catastrophic plans would be forced to help cover the higher costs.

“In short,” Brase said, “individuals buying catastrophic coverage as actual insurance against the risk of getting an expensive medical condition they don’t yet have would be lumped together with those buying mandate-rich coverage for third-party payment of medical conditions they already have. Thus, the new language maintains a cost-redistribution system similar to the one operating in Obamacare today. There appears to be no opt-out of Obamacare or its redistribution scheme.”

CCHF seeks to restore health freedom, for both patients and doctors, through its innovative initiative The Wedge of Health Freedom (, which recently marked one year in existence. Today, more than 200 medical practices in 44 states around the country have joined The Wedge, which is using third-party-free direct payment to transform the entire health care system back to freedom and restore simplicity, affordability and confidentiality.

Causes of Damp Cellulose Insulation In Attic

Cellulose Insulation Answer Man CIMA Graphic
Cellulose Answer Man: Your Source For Information

John  S asks:

I’ve never gone up in my attic right in the spring before and this year I did to install some new lighting. I am noticing that my cellulose insulation feels damp to the touch. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thank You

cellulose insulation in attic blown over ducts

Cellulose insulation in attics naturally wicks moisture.

The natural moisture content of cellulose insulation is 8% to 12%. Even at 30%, which is the usual moisture content of wall spray cellulose insulation immediately after application, you probably couldn’t tell there was any added moisture, unless someone told you. If the insulation is, in fact, wet it is because of a water incursion from a roof leak, a pipe leak, condensation on a cold surface, or water entering the attic through a vent. In that case it would be necessary to find the source of the water incursion and make an appropriate repair. Assuming that the insulation isn’t water-saturated it will dry to the 8% to 12% range within a few weeks, if not a few days.

Have a question, add it to any post or the Contact Us page here on the Greenest Insulation Blog, or use the Reach Us form on the CIMA website.

Luke Fuller graduated in Ceramics & Glass from the Royal College of Art in 2020, being awarded the Charlotte Fraser Scholarship for outstanding work. Since completing his BA in 3D Design & Craft at the University of Brighton in 2018, he has won several prestigious prizes and bursaries, including New Designer of the Year at the Business Design Centre, 2018; and the Nagoya University of Art, Grand Prize, 2018. Fuller has shown work internationally at various exhibitions including ‘The Power of Material: From Virtual to Physical’, The Design Museum, London, UK; FOG Design+Art in San Francisco, US; PAD London, UK; British Ceramics Biennial, UK. His work features in notable private and public collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, UK.

Every location has its own history, culture and community inherently marked by human experience. Fuller reflects upon a notion of place which is forged through industrialisation and our dependence on raw materials. His work explores the complex layers of our society and infrastructure, in order to critique and understand the context in which we live.

His experience in landscape and within industrial settings has created a strong sense of place in his practice, to fuel his fascination of abstraction, construction and disruption of form. Using clay and other materials as a vehicle, he expresses his perceptions of landscape and the ambiguous relationship between humans and the natural environment. He manifests his thoughts and concerns through processes of construction and the physicality of making.

Great ideas attract great people.

Common Ground Center started as an idea, a “Wouldn’t it be fun if…?” Founders Peg Kamens and Jim Mendell wanted to spend their vacations doing creative activities with their three young kids, where the kids could enjoy fun, interesting programs while they were pursuing adult interests. They wanted healthy food that respected alternative diets. And they wanted a place flexible enough in price so that a variety of people could afford to come.

They visited many family camps, improved on the best ideas, and invited people who would be fun to spend a week with and who also happened to be great teachers. Everyone said yes. They contacted all their friends in Brooklyn and Vermont; some came, and some brought friends. Other people heard about the camp through brochures at food co-ops, Waldorf schools, childcare centers, or through Co-op America, homeschooling circles, and local parenting newsletters. The first summer of Camp Common Ground happened miraculously! It was great fun, and we all decided to keep it going…

Since our start in 1994, we’ve grown as an organization, with a volunteer Board of Directors and now a year-round facility in Starksboro, Vermont that is home to Common Ground Center’s many varied programs and events.

Camp Common Ground, our signature family camp program, has remained at the core of what we do here at Common Ground Center, filling a unique niche and serving hundreds of families from over 29 states and 11 countries. We have grown into an extended family with some wonderful, devoted campers, a talented and diverse staff, and a dedicated year-round team who works hard to put it all together.

We loved how we could tailor and decorate each space to create a unique celebration. My grandparents stayed in the Eco-Lodge, my little nieces and nephews loved the cabins, and the whole group enjoyed swimming in the pond. A truly magical weekend and better than I could have ever envisioned.”

Unforgettable Experiences

The Rouffillac History

In the Dordogne Valley

The chateau was constructed in the Middle Ages – the 12th century and has now existed for over 900 years. The Lords of Rouffillac who controlled this part of the Dordogne Valley were a powerful family. The original structure was designed as a grand manor house for which all the region could see because it was perched on the hill-side. In the 15th century, the chateau was occupied by soldiers during the 100 years war, where the Dordogne river became the demarcation line between the French and British armies. As a result the chateau became familiar to both the French and British who have influenced its art and construction. For the military the chateau commanded A strategic observation point because of its location and incredible visibility of the valley and river. Some of the ancient observation point stone structures still exist on the site today. The structure was restored in the 19th century by a famous ophthalmologist from Paris, who wanted a “madness” fairytale chateau. He spent a great deal to make this remodel a Renaissance inspiration.

When he passed away, his son Rene inherited the chateau. Rene married a wealthy Californian woman and turned it into a party house with quite an acclaim. The Palm trees on the site are a last remnant from this epoch. The incessant partying and glamour life style, living way beyond their means, resulted in Renes bankruptcy.

The Chateau was abandoned and left In disrepair until in 1958 when the Chateau was acquired by a Famous French Zoologist Pierre Paul Grasse. He was the President of the Academy of Science at the Sorbonne and wrote the definitive encyclopedia around subjects in entomology. When Jean Paul Grasse passed away, his daughter took over the Chateau. Subsequently the property was acquired by an English American family who have painstakingly upgraded the beautiful chateau to its current state.

Soul Winners Get Creative on Halloween

Soul winners are gearing up again this year to take advantage of the great witnessing opportunity, courtesy of Lucifer on his night to howl. When the neighborhoods are alive with would-be witches and goblins, Bible believers have learned they can use a gospel tract to drive a stake in the heart of any aspiring vampire.

No other event of the year brings hosts of little beggars to your door. And the following letter from a Chick customer illustrates just how creative one can be in taking advantage of the opportunity.

Cherilu writes in an e-mail the day after Halloween last year:

"We handed out 220 tracts on trick-or-treat night to children coming to our front porch. The ziploc snack-size baggies are perfect for your tracts and a couple of pieces of candy. The kids seemed to like getting the 'comic books.' We could have handed out some more, but we ran out of candy! Our neighbors get excited about Halloween and put a lot into their house decorations, which helped bring people to our undecorated house. We have been doing this for several years.

"My husband took our son (dressed as young David, with a little felt sack fastened to his cloth belt, filled with tracts, instead of stones) and a friend around trick-or-treating and they handed out possibly 100 more tracts to the adults at the houses they went to. My son said he often looked back and saw the people reading the tracts he had just given them.

"We bought 1000, so people at church could use them. Most of them were taken by Wednesday night. Many people told me they don't get many trick-or-treaters, so I suggested they take their grandkids out to hand the tracts out at the houses or go over to their adult children's homes and hand out the tracts along with their children's candy.

"I can't wait to hear tomorrow how things went for the others at church. One teen boy said he hands them out at school so he was looking for new titles. Many of my Christian friends find excuses to be away from home Halloween night and they need to do as God leads them, but I like handing out the Chick tracts to all the kids God sends to our door.

"Your tracts are the most readable and interesting to an unsaved person I've seen. I read them back in the 70's when I was an unsaved teen. Two years later, when I was ready to be saved, I knew how, because of remembering what was said in THIS WAS YOUR LIFE."

St. Michael’s students send school supplies to school in Kenya

Staff Writer
The Chronicle Express
St. Michael’s Principal Dave Paddock and his wife, Terry, delivered two suitcases full of school supplies to the school in Kenya.

Last spring retired teacher Jim Nowak visited St. Michael’s School in Penn Yan to teach the students there about the school he has built in rural Kenya.

The response from the boys and girls at St. Michael’s continues today.

Principal Dave Paddock and his wife Terry journeyed to the Mbake Oromo School earlier this month to deliver two large suitcases full of much needed supplies donated by the students and staff of St. Michael’s as well as other area contributors.

Paddock says the books, coloring books, crayons, pencils, erasers, and other school supplies were not only sorely needed, but greatly appreciated by the principal, teachers, and boys and girls in the Kenyan school.

Paddock, who has traveled extensively throughout the world, stated the conditions in rural Kenya were as bad as he has seen.  “People really have nothing, kids don’t have shoes. They walk up to 5 miles to get to school. They carry sticks with them to school so a fire can be built to cook lunch, and overall life is as primitive as one can imagine.  Despite all that the people are tremendously kind, friendly, and quite content,” he says.

In addition, Paddock commented, “I am extremely proud of the boys and girls here at St. Michael’s for their generosity and for their compassion for others.  We have developed a real connection with the Mbake Oromo School and we believe at St. Mike’s that it is very important for our kids to appreciate all that we have and to help others less fortunate‚“

The students at St. Michael’s have written letters to the students at Mbake Oromo twice within the last year and Paddock carried return letters from the Kenyan children with him upon his return to St. Michael’s.

“I want our boys and girls to develop a global perspective and to understand that we are all connected.  Our relationship with this little school in Kenya and with the students there is really helping our kids understand that,” Paddock states.

Paddock plans to continue the connection with Mbake Oromo and is thinking of expanding it beyond St. Michael’s School.

Plans are forming now to develop a Penn Yan/Kenya program to encourage members of the community to join together in support of the Mbake Oromo School.

He hopes to involve students from the Penn Yan Central Schools and others in our area who would like to be involved.

“The greatest needs are both school supplies and medical supplies as Jim (Nowak) has led the building of a medical clinic next to the school and there will surely be a shortage of supplies for the clinic just as there is for the school.  I know many in Penn Yan will be eager to get involved and soon I hope to announce our plans for all those interested in helping.”

Paddock says despite the primitive conditions, the people in Kenya are tremendously kind and friendly.

I met Michael in Boulder around the time Trungpa Rinpoche first came to Boulder, maybe before, circa the fall of 1970. To tell the truth, I can’t remember when or where we first met, but after that Michael was always a part of my life in a prominent way. We instantly became friends, and began a lifetime of mutual exploits and adventures. Even when years and individual dispositions and karmic projectors meant we did not meet for extended periods, I always knew the world was a more interesting place because of his presence in it. I always knew we would connect directly now and then in a mutual nurturing and continuation. Sometimes a harmonious charged interfusion and sometimes a playful jousting, we always created delightful sparks. We always enjoyed the dance. Michael and I created the first fundraiser for Karma Dzong in Boulder, It was a poetry reading at Macky Auditorium, circa 1971. We were able to invite and feature Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Robert Bly, the Japanese poet Nanao Sakaki, who came with Snyder, and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. That reading marked a dramatic transition, one might say, from romantic hippie dispositions to grounded Buddhist practice. It was also a first volley is what became a sometimes contentious relationship between Trungpa Rinpoche and some poets. And cemented a deep bond with others, such as with Ginsberg, Burrows, and Ann Waldman. After a very charged evening of poetry, each poet reading from their works in turn, at some point Trungpa Rinpoche put the meditation gong from the stage helmet-like onto Allen Ginsberg;s head. At first Ginsberg deflected Rinpoche’s attempts, but quickly then let it happen, and took excellent meditation posture with the gong partially covering his face. A meditation gong with a beard! A short time later, Rinpoche interrupted a very serious recitation of a Yeats poem by Bly, and ended the evening by proclaiming, “Please don’t believe what we poets say. We don’t mean what we say. Please go back to your everyday depression,” Michael and I were not so sure what we had fomented, but that poetry reading forged the spiritual road of Trungpa Rinpoche’s unabashed warning message about spiritual materialism right into the thick of American counter-culture and culture. Michael and I were to have many more adventures together, as dharma brothers, in business (I worked for him at Metals Economics Group for several years), and as fellow explorers of the vajra world. In recent years, Michael, Jan Wilcox, and I conducted several classes together on the Ocean website,. We launched into what are some of the most non-conceptual teachings of the Vidyadhara, now in the form of books like Glimpses of Space (the Feminine Principle and E VAM), Glimpses of Sunyata, and Crazy Wisdom. We had a medium size but loyal following, and the sessions were vibrant…the teachings self-ignited into life in the interchanges. And Michael, Jan and I, having very different styles, nonetheless worked exquisitely together. I knew Michael was a true friend when, on the all too frequent occasions when I did something stupid, he would let me know exactly what it was and not let me off the hook for a second, while never judging me, condemning me, or getting angry. He was my life mentor in giving precise and unequivocally honest feedback balanced with a natural equanimity. In the first Garuda magazine, published in 1971, the earliest journal released by the Trungpa Rinpoche sangha, there is a photo of people meditating at Karma Dzong, which was then in Rinpoche’s living room up Four Mile Canyon. In the front row is Trungpa Rinpoche, the young Vidyadhara, sitting with good straight and relaxed posture and a slightly quizzical expression. To the right of Rinpoche, I am sitting, bearded and bespectacled, holding zazen posture from my then Zen affiliation. Behind Rinpoche is Michael, with a head of thick wavy hair and an intent yet amicable expression. How still we were, yet on the brink of the Vidyadhara’s adamantine explosion of spiritual energy and brilliance into the West. So many stories, so much of what has made life delectable. Michael, I can’t pinpoint the exact day we met as young scruffy students, and now I cannot imagine life without you around. But you and I, we always were mutual connoisseurs of the unimaginable. Michael, it is not only that so many people count you as a jewel of a human being, a mentor, a true spiritual friend, but also that the world really needed you. And needs you now, As the world needs the daily dawning of the sun. As the world needs the constant infusion of brilliant mischievousness. As brilliance and mischievousness actually give rise to the world. You were and are a brilliant and piercing ray of the Great Eastern Sun. A force of nature With a twinkle in your eye That reminds us again and again To take things dead serious But with great wit and humor. Having no brothers, your departure is exactly losing a brother. Having lost our mothers, we share the primordial mother of the unconditional cosmic cervix. Having no origin, we dance on the razor edge of co-emergent friendship. Having had to let go of our fathers, we proclaim the paternity of pure appreciation of our guru. Having innumerable children, you proclaim unconditional love. Having lost you, I proclaim the echo of unconditional missing you. Knowing I am next some time sooner or later, I proclaim the intention to track you down! With no exceptions to mutual arising of all beings and so-called things, Your departure is the gap we never wanted. May we all arise again and again, together, From that gap! Love always, Clarke

The Difference Between Succeeding In Your Massage Business and Giving It Away

Amy Roberts is a Massage Therapist and a Massage Business Coach.

She’s coached hundreds of massage therapists via eBooks, live conferences and audio broadcasts in several different countries.

If you want to get more clients and keep them coming back in your massage business then you might want to check out what Amy has to offer. The following article provides some tips on giving away your services.

I Have My Massage License, What Now?

When the excitement of graduation from your massage course has diminished and real life sets in, you can find yourself a little lost.

Questions can plague many massage therapists minds such as :

  • “What now?”
  • “How do I get clients to my massage therapy business”
  • “Shall I start with massage business cards first? Surely they’d attract clients….”

And the one that costs us more in time and disappointment than anything

“Perhaps if I give away my massage for free, it will impress people enough that they come back and become regular clients…”

The Cost of Giving Free Massage Sessions

Giving Away MassagesIf you have acted on this idea of offering free massage and added up the hours over the past year or so that you’ve actually spent giving free sessions, you’ll find that it probably isn’t worth it.

If you really stop and think how much time you’ve given as opposed to what you have received, you’ll most likely find a surprising result.

Many massage therapists I’ve coached have come to me disappointed to find that giving away time for free doesn’t necessarily attract more clients. I did it myself when I was first new to the industry and found it was a waste of time. This doesn’t work for a few important reasons.

In a nutshell, how much you charge for your time represents the value you place on your service. And secondly, are the clients coming to you because you’re offering time for free, or they are coming because of the results they get from your massage treatment? More about this in a moment.

More Effective Marketing

However, don’t get the idea that I am not coaching you to spend time working ON your business to gain clients.

Network with ProfessionalsA better idea is to spend this time on marketing by visiting professionals in your area. Begin by talking to chiropractors, dentists, doctors, dance studios, sporting clubs etc.

You may need to talk to these professionals and get to know each other. Begin to build relationships with other professionals in your area. This interaction you obviously wouldn’t charge for because it’s a part of your marketing.

Can you see the difference between connecting with people and giving your time away for free?

When you are talking to a GP about how you can help their patients is quite a bit different than setting up a booth at a health fair giving away actual treatments in the hope that people will come to you and become clients.

In a meeting with a health professional, the idea is to determine if you would work to form an alliance of beneficial support, not to give your treatment for free.

In giving away free massage treatments you will attract not only people who might or might not want massage, but more to your disappointment, you’ll get “freebie” people to your massage business. These people only want your service because it is free, not because they are genuinely interested in forming a long-term practitioner-client relationship with you.

The bottom line, most of the time free clients are not interested in the massage therapy as a therapeutic treatment. This can eat away at your confidence and as a result have a negative impact on building your massage practice.

Building Your Client Base

An important fact is to stop giving away your massage treatments for free.

Filling Your Appointment BookStart charging for your massage services and watch what happens! You’ll actually get more clients by valuing your work.

You will also filter out the people seeking freebies and your confidence will build as you attract serious people wanting help to eliminate their concerns. Your appointment book will begin to fill and referrals will soon follow.

  1. Important points Amy and well put. Massage Therapists really need to value themselves in order to create a valuable business.

  2. Erin Parish says:

    I disagree. I had a hard time starting out, and the only way I was able to get word of mouth was by giving free massages at the beginning. I didn’t just hand them over to anyone though. I gave them to doctors and chiropractors. I looked for places where medical professionals were likely to run into people with pain who would need my service. I think that free can be very good for a new business if it’s done right. It’s all about how you do it.
