photo of attendees at third WFIWC

WFIWC Portland, OR 1951. Photo Caption.  I was one year into my employment at the Berkeley Forest Insect Lab when the 3rd WFIWC was held in Portland, Nov. 26-28, 1951. The fall meeting was scheduled to coincide with the meeting of the larger Western Forestry Conservation Association, in which the WFIWC founders like Paul Keen participated (the first WFIWC was held to coincide with a WFCA meeting in Portland in 1949). That association soon faded in favor of locations that were more representive of conference membership. Also, timing was changed to spring-time, beginning with the 1957 meeting in Calgary, to accommodate university personnel.

I remember going by train from Berkeley to Portland with Keen, Jack Bongberg, Ralph Hall, and George Struble. That was a great way to travel. We were together in the club car where we could converse and view the passing scenery. North of Mount Shasta, the train would its way upward through a vast brush-field containing Ceanothus. Paul remarked that there had been an outbreak of the California tortoise shell butterfly there. I did not imagine that a few years later, I would be in Idaho studying insects of wildland-shrubs, along with bark beetles.

The accompanying photo is the first one taken at a WFIWC meeting. It was distributed separately and not published in the proceedings. It includes 40 of those attending; a few others such as Keen were at the concurrent WFCA meeting. Those attending, and their affiliations, are shown in the caption. Notably, Avery Hoyt, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology (equivalent to Chief Forester) came from Washington, DC. James A. Beal, Chief of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations, also attended. He was the last Chief before the Bureau was disbanded in 1953 and transferred to the Forest Service. The meeting took place as a group with a discussion leader for several pre-chosen topics. Work shops were yet to be. Also, this meeting had the first semblance of a banquet... members decided to go to a local restaurant together for dinner. I had cracked Dungeness crab in a bowl of delicious warm marinade. And a beer. -- Malcolm Furniss --

photo of F. Paul Keen, taken in 1959 by R.L. Furniss

Frederick Paul Keen (1890 - 1980): Some Recollections by M. Furniss. After I graduated from high school in Waverly, NY, in 1944, I moved to Berkeley, CA, with my mother while I waited to be called into the Army Air Corps. I remained in the Berkeley environs after my discharge in Nov. 1945. My oldest brother, Robert L., had graduated in entomology with a minor in forest management from Syracuse in 1931. He was employed by the Bureau of Entomology and had replaced Keen at the Portland Forest Insect Lab in 1942 when Keen transferred to head the Berkeley FIL. Thus, our family knew of Keen and that he was a bachelor. My father had left the scene in Waverly at the edge of my childhood memory, hence some of us, mainly my sister, rather jokingly hinted that maybe a match could be made. It never happened. Paul waited until retirement when he married Lillian, an architect. She preceded him in death in 1972.

My introduction to Paul was in June 1950. I had graduated in Forestry at U. California and the job market was bleak. I had not planned a career in forest entomology but in desperation, I knocked of Paul's door in the basement of Mulford Hall on campus seeking a summer job. To my surprise, Paul was wanting to hire me on the spot to survey bark beetle mortality in the Sierra Nevada. I then got cold feet, and confessed that I knew little about entomology. He countered that they would teach me all that I needed to know and what they were looking for was a forester who could survey, identify, and measure killed trees. Somebody who could get around in the mountains. Well, I was married and had two children to feed so that is how I got a start in this business on June 19 as a Field Aide GS-4 at $2,875 per annum. On March 30, 1952, I got a raise to Forester GS-7 ($4,205). It was announced by a handwritten note on a 3X5 slip of paper. It read: "Mal, My congratulations on your grade promotion. It was well deserved and I hope will keep the wolf from the door awhile longer. FPK"

My main job was to survey insect infestations, mainly bark beetles, for planning control operations, which were still done mainly by fell-peel-burn but also by salvage logging where feasible. Thus, I did a lot of pacing and sampling after which I wrote reports. Each fall, I also wrote the annual California Forest Insect Conditions report and took the type-written master copy to Sacramento for publishing by the Calif. Div. Forestry. Paul liked my writing. Along with my big ears, I seem to have inherited this quality, there being others of note in my lineage.

Paul retired in 1951 and was replaced by Charlie Eaton. The friendly pats ceased and I was offered a job at Intermountain Station, Ogden, UT in Oct 1954 after which I might just as well have been re-born. But, I will stop there and refer you to my Founders Award address for the thereafter of my career including some mention of Paul. Now, on with my recollections ... after Paul retired, he wrote-up the work (Tech. Bull. 1169) on cone and seed insects (1912-1917) that was done mostly at Ashland, Oregon, where Keen was hired as an Entomological Ranger in 1914 (He was number one on the Civil Service test). One of my regrets is that in 1953 he dropped-in and said that he was going to collect some Monterey pine cones for rearing insects and asked if I wanted to accompany him. I was still low on the ladder and didn't think that I could take the liberty to go. Read: I didn't think. That still brings me sadness to near tears.

My transfer parted us except for a couple visits to his adobe home in Lafayette, CA. We did communicate by an occasional letter and exchanged Christmas cards form 1962-1979. His last Christmas card was written on Dec. 18, 1979, a month after his 89th birthday and 2 months before he died on Feb. 20, 1980. The last time that I saw Paul was in 1978 at Portland during the signing of the just-published book, Insect Enemies of Western Forests by R.L. Furniss and V.M. Carolin, which up-dated Paul's 1950 book. -- Malcolm Furniss --

Ernie Kolbe, left and F. Paul Keen (1890-1980) at Western Forestry Center, Portland, OR, May 19, 1978. The occasion was the signing of the just-published book, Western Forest Insects, by Robert L. Furniss and Val Carolin. Kolbe and Keen had been roommates after the Portland FIL opened in 1929 with Keen in charge and Kolbe was a forester with the Forest Service PNW experiment station. Keen subsequently headed the Berkeley FIL, 1942 -1951. Keen helped to develop the forestry curriculum at U.C. Berkeley from where he graduated in 1915. Among his contributions were a bark beetle susceptibility classification and publishing of the first manual on Insect Enemies of Western Forests (1938, revised 1950), which was updated and expanded by R. L. Furniss & Carolin. Kolbe went on to be an executive with the Western Pine Assoc. and Director of the World Forestry Center in Portland where Keen and R.L. Furniss are included in the Memorial Gallery of people who have contributed to the advancement of forestry worldwide. Kolbe died a few weeks after this photo was taken. Mrs. Kolbe wrote: "I can't begin to tell you how much your pictures of Ernie, which arrived on his birthday, delighted me. ... you caught him just the way he was ... no other pictures show him like this. ... I will treasure them." Photo by M. Furniss.

Donald DeLeon (1902-1966) graduated from Syracuse University (B.S 1926, MS 1927). After graduation, he was employed at the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Forest Insect Laboratory (1928-31) studying the parasites, predators, and other insects associated with the mountain pine beetle (MPB) in western white pine and lodgepole pine (DeLeon 1929, 1930, 1931a, 1931b). He evidently took leave to study at Cornell University where he received his PhD in 1933. His thesis was entitled: "A study of the parasites & predators of the mountain pine beetle and an annotated list of its associated insects." The external & internal anatomy, biology, & habits of Coeloides dendroctoni & Medetera aldrichii were studied in detail. Included was an annotated list of 129 species of insects associated with the beetle with notes on their biology, occurrence & habits. Life stages of many of these insects were illustrated with drawings by DeLeon.

After receiving his PhD, he worked at the Berkeley Forest Insect Laboratory from where he wrote to Henry Rust at Coeur d'Alene in April 1934 that: "Am leaving for the Sequoia (National Forest) for 4 weeks on a topographic survey (of bark beetle-killed pines). D.b. (Dendroctonus brevicomis) and D.m. (Dendroctonus monticolae) are pretty thick but the country is so rough it's a heller to cruise."

He had spent a year in post-doctoral studies in France & Germany. During my employment at the Berkeley FIL (1950-54), I remember seeing a description by him of a procedure for inflating Lepidoptera larvae that he had learned in Germany. I took him to be a brainy, different kind of guy. For one thing, PhD's were scarce in Forest Insect Investigations at the time and no others had studied in Europe. I have always wondered about the lack of information about him. His obituary was written by Martin Muma, a mite/spider authority rather than by a forest entomologist. The only story that I heard was by R.L. Furniss, a student at Syracuse with DeLeon. It was something to the effect that DeLeon was bunking in an attic room and maintained that he could, by willing his mind, walk the length of the room in the dark. Dared, he immediately bumped his head on a rafter.

DeLeon is said (by Muma 1966) to have had 5 positions (not identified) with USDA, Bureau of Entomology from 1928 - 1950 and 2 positions with U.S. Foreign Aid Program in the Philippines from 1950-1953 when he retired. He was at the Fort Collins Forest Insect Lab after its re-opening in 1935 (Furniss 2007), which would be his 3rd known Bur. Ent. assignment. There, he was involved again with the mountain pine beetle but details are lacking. There are only 5 photos taken by him that are in the Fort Collins FIL file, all taken in 1938: MPB cages at Elk Mtn., WY, and St Vrain, CO; and spruce budworm damage at Big Thompson, CO. The Fort Collins lab was closed in 1940 and no further mention is made of DeLeon having worked at any western FIL.

He apparently continued to jump around if he had 2 other USDA jobs (according to Muma) in the following decade after closing of the Fort Collins FIL. Inexplicably, he studied mite taxonomy after retirement and published often on mites in the Florida Entomologist between 1956-1966. At the time of his death, he was completing manuscripts on plant mites of Trinidad and the Ascas of the Caribbean area. Two of his publications (not seen) have intriguing titles (DeLeon 1937, 1963). Muma (1966) remembered his "quick, gently caustic, humor and sedate, humanistic, philosophy." DeLeon did not marry and lived the last years with his sister, Miss Gertrude De Leon "in a cabin on the creek" in the mountains above Erwin, Tennessee (Muma 1966). -- Malcolm Furniss --

Personnel of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology, USDA, at a survey methods workshop, Fort Collins, CO, Feb. 1951. Prior to this time, large (up to 640 ac), permanent, plots were in use in the pine region east of the Cascade Mountains in Pacific Coast states. They were installed initially by F. Paul Keen to measure trend of pine mortality and to develop his "Keen susceptibility classification." Now, in 1951, an infusion of post-war personnel, use of airplanes, and insect population studies, contributed to the testing and development of various new survey methods for different purposes. At the Berkeley lab, Ralph C. Hall enlisted others on the staff, including me (M. Furniss), to sample bark beetle infestations with temporary circular plots at intervals along paced compass lines. This method was used to estimate the number and volume of beetle infested trees for direct control purposes and also for stratifying old growth stands by degree of "hazard" (susceptibility to bark beetles). After Keen's retirement in 1951, the long-term permanent plots were no longer surveyed, ending that era.

Photo of John M. Miller, given to M. Furniss by J.M. Miller, 1951

John M. Miller (1882-1952) is my candidate for #2 after A.D. Hopkins on the list of those most influential in the formative years of American forest entomology. John's interesting life is told by Wickman (2005), enhanced by material provided by John's surviving family ... highly recommended. Download at My purpose here is to provide some personal recollections. From1950-1952, I knew him as an office mate at the Berkeley Forest Insect Lab in the basement of Mulford Hall on the U.C. campus, and in other ways. A few anecdotes come to mind.

In 1951, I was assigned by Paul Keen to conduct a bark beetle hazard survey on 95,000 remaining acres of old growth pine on the Lassen N.F. Purpose was to direct sanitation-salvage logging into stands expected to suffer severe loss from bark beetles. I, and my Bureau of Entomology crew, worked out of Blacks Mtn. Experimental Forest headquarters (a Forest Service facility). It was customary for Bureau of Entomology employees to "cooperate 110%" as my boss, Jack Bongberg would say. One way we could repay our presence there was to help lay-in the winter wood supply. While stacking wood in the storage shed, one crewman stepped on a nail necessitating filing a CA-1 accident form. Paul Keen received the form and, after I got back to Berkeley, he came into my shared office, stood before me with a stern look, and asked: "Was this official business?" Before I could answer, John said: "Well, it may not have been official business, but it was damn good business." With that, Keen turned and left. I was one year into my employment and only in grade GS-5; you can't imagine my relief at John's response!

Photography. John was a master of large format black & white photography. I have prints of his photos of dead lodgepole pine in Tenaya basin, Yosemite N.P., early in the last century and had the extraordinary experience of re-photographing them in 1953 and 1984 (Furniss 2007). In 1951, I had some exposed 4X5 film that I wanted to print. He took me up to the third floor darkroom of the Forest Experiment Station, which occupied that floor and set-up trays containing developer, etc. Then, he turned on the enlarger and counted seconds(!) to expose the image. He left me to wash the prints which was said to take perhaps an hour. I decided to go downstairs and do some work in the meantime. When I went back, there was much commotion. The sink had overflowed and flooded through the floor to the ceiling of the forestry library below!

Urban wildlife. John was a financial supporter of the Berkeley YMCA and he rented a house owned by them. My family (Irene and 2 children) had been living in the WW II Kaiser shipyard housing in Richmond and my ears perked-up when I heard John mention that he would be moving out. He agreed to put in a good word for me and we were accepted as tenants. However, John thought it appropriate to tell us that the place came with some "wildlife." They turned out to be a very large population of mice. In our first day there, we set traps and could barely sit down before a trap would snap.

Early in 1952, John took on an entomology assignment in Mexico with the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization. The folks at the Lab gave him a big send-off at a local restaurant. I was surveying mountain pine beetle-infested sugar pine on the Sierra N.F. that spring when I received a phone call notifying me of his passing. I brought some pine boughs for his casket at the funeral. Even now, typing this brings tears to my eyes. John was a very special person. -- Malcolm Furniss --

Steve Wood at Cuernavaca, Mex. symposium, 1982; photo by M.M. Furniss

Stephen L. Wood, a scolytid taxonomist, has dominated this field since he received his PhD from University of Kansas in 1953 (Cryphalini). His first job was at Ottawa (1953-56) where Karl Schedl also worked. Thereafter, he accepted a position as professor of entomology at Brigham Young University in his home state of Utah and continues working on Scolytidae (he insists that they stay a family) since retiring. It is impossible to measure or to characterize the importance of his work in other than personal terms. I came along in forest entomology about the same time, first in the role of a forester, then entomologist, and now of a sort that defies classification. Oh, I guess naturalist comes to mind, others may have different names! But, what I wish to say is that by the time I retired in 1982, I had traveled and collected (read observed, admired) scolytids widely in western North America. Hundreds of these collections were alive, in their host, and were reared subsequently. I kept Steve busy identifying them (!) and thereby built the scolytid collection at the University of Idaho Barr Museum into a major one.

Now (in 1982), I was in happy circumstances. The taxonomy and related literature that had been so fragmented, was now packaged in Steve's monograph of that year. Additionally, Donald E. Bright, Jr. had revised the large and troublesome genus Pityophthorus and published on the scolytids of Canada; and R.L. Furniss and V.M. Carolin had published their book on western forest insects. This led to much fruitful work in the intervening years and has, indeed, helped to make me competent to identify the native scolytid fauna of the areas extending from Mexico to Alaska that I have visited. Thus, largely through Steve's incomparable contributions to scolytid taxonomy and his welcoming all those specimens that I sent to him, much of what I have done flows from him. It is interesting to note that Steve's own attraction to scolytids came about through outings in Utah with his uncle, Ted Thatcher, who taught forest entomology at Colorado State University. Here is his account: "The first insect I examined critically and collected for permanent preservation was Trypodendron retusum LeConte. At the age 14 years I was introduced to it by T. O. Thatcher on 21 June 1939 at Lehman Creek Canyon, White Pine County, Nevada, near the base of Wheeler Peak. The attraction was immediate and permanent." What date (calendar or any other) at age 14 do I remember? Nil, as they say in British soccer. -- Malcolm M. Furniss

Stephen Lane Wood, 84, of Provo, Utah, died July 1, 2009. His scolytid collection, which he estimated to number around 100,000 specimens, has been donated to the U.S. National Museum in Washington, DC.

"The Palouse Trio," written on back of print by Alan Berryman (left), shown at a get-together with Ronald Stark (1922-2002) and Mal Furniss, Dec. 29, 1985. Alan was Ron's student at Berkeley before becoming a professor at Washington State University in the 1960s. At WSU, he studied host relationships of Scolytus ventralis andDendroctonus ponderosae. He also cooperated with Erik Christiansen on similar studies ofIps typographus in Norway. Ron came to UC Berkeley from Canada in 1958. In 1970, he accepted the position of graduate dean/coordinator of research at the University of Idaho where he was also a professor in the College of Forestry. His biography is in his WFIWCFounder's Award address ( and in the obituary by Mal and Alan and others (American Entomologist 49(1) 2003). Mal studied forestry at UC, was hired by Paul Keen in 1950, and came Moscow, Idaho, with the Forest Service when the Forestry Sciences Lab opened in 1963. His checkered career is detailed in his Founder's Award address on the WFIWC website. For those unfamiliar with the Palouse, it is a hilly area composed of loess soil and home of WSU and UI, which are 9 miles apart with the Washington/Idaho state line between. Photo provided to M. Furniss by Berryman who is now preoccupied by fly fishing for steelhead. -- Malcolm M. Furniss

photo of R.L. Furniss with a bonsai, ca 1974

Robert L. Furniss (1908-1980) with a bonsai Mugo pine at his Portland, OR, home ca 1974 (Furniss 2006, Fig.8B). Through his assistance with insect problems in post-war Japan during 1949-1950, he gained the respect of Japanese involved with forest protection. As a gesture of their esteem, they wanted to present him with a special bonsai tree; however, regulations prohibited its import into the U.S.

In 1962, Lillian Keen, wife of the well-known California forest entomologist, F. P Keen, gave Bob his first bonsai (Norway spruce). That caused him to take-up the exacting art of propagating and training these miniature trees such as the one shown. Like all of his endeavors, he exhaustively researched the subject and created some lovely examples that were admired greatly. However, he dismissed his creations as "amateurish examples of the art. Some day I hope to shape them up into the real thing. After 17 years of effort, it remains only a hope.& (written 11 months before his death).

The quote is taken from a letter to Dennis Hamel, Forest Service Washington Office, who was wanting Bob's recommendation for a bonsai to be presented to the National Arboretum on the 75th anniversary of the Forest Service. Bob was making it clear that none of his was to be considered. Instead, he recommended contacting "Dan Robinson a trained forester, bonsai expert and landscaper who has numerous fine specimens for sale at his nursery in Bremerton, WA." Subsequently, Robinson provided a ponderosa pine from the Gifford Pinchot N.F., Washington, which became the first native American bonsai in the arboretum. The naturally dwarfed tree was 56 inches tall, 14 inches in basal diameter, and was estmated to be about 150 years old. It was presented by Chief Forester Max Peterson and Hamel and Robinson on October 28, 1980. Bob Furniss died only weeks afterward, unaware that his suggestion had been followed.

In March 2009, I inquired to Jack Sustic, Curator, National Bonsai & Penjing Museum, and received the following reply: "I received your letter and am happy to tell you that the ponderosa pine is alive and well. The National Bonsai Foundation did a great piece on the repotting of the ponderosa pine. You can see it at the following address:

There are some great shots of the tree in that story. As you can see in the final shot it is in a very prominent spot in the museum. It has always been and remains today one of the visitors' favorite trees." -- Malcolm M. Furniss

F.C. Craighead (1890-1982) shooting his muzzleloader rifle at "the Lock House" near Washington, DC, 1939. Photo by R.L. Furniss who was on detail there from the Portland, OR, Forest Insect Lab. Craighead succeeded A.D. Hopkins in 1922 as Chief of Forest Insect Investigations, Bur. of Entomology. Craighead's twin sons, Frank and John were prominent wildlife biologists in the Yellowstone area.

I was thirteen when my brother, Bob, came east, visiting the family home in Waverly, NY, en-route to Washington. He was 18 years older and I idolized him. He took me for a hike in the woods. I remember that he carried an unsheathed double bit axe (2-1/2 lbs, 26 inch handle) and he would throw it at stumps as they do in loggers' contests. God, how I wanted to be like him! Well, somehow that has played out. And, in my early career, I did indeed always carry such an axe ... never sheathed (damn thing is a nuisance), even during many days of snowshoeing alone, spotting sugar pines infested with mountain pine beetle on the Sierra N.F. (1952). The trick is to grip the handle up close to the cutting head ... and throw it when falling!

To finish the story ... Bob and Frances were staying in Virginia and invited me and my sister, Jackie, down for a visit. I had always carried the memory of going out by a river where Bob and another man shot a rifle. After Bob's death, I inherited his photos and discovered that I had been there when this photo was taken! -- Malcolm M. Furniss

Johnson was Secretary-Treasurer of WFIWC for many years beginning with its creation in 1949. Richman was also one of the Founders and was elected Chairman at that first meeting. The banquets at the annual conferences were rollicking affairs and, with sufficient encouragement from the crowd, Hec would recite his humorous non-stop, rapid-fire rendition, of the polysyllabic spelling by little "Archibald.Arsolin." Always my favorite part! Hec recorded his autobiography in the book, Forever Green (1983). In 1986, he published Forest Entomology: From pack horse to helicopter as Pest Management report No. 8, B.C. Ministry of Forests & Lands, 44 p. Both highly recommended reading. -- Malcolm M. Furniss

Furniss (missing from photo). Wygant had just left Berkeley to reopen the Fort Collins Lab. Salmon would soon prefer charges against F.C. Craighead (Wash. DC) and leave the Bureau to become a dairy farmer near Madera where I saw him in 1952. MacKenzie studied scales and went to work for the Calif. Dept. Agriculture at Sacramento. DeLeon also left the Bureau. Yuill subsequently transferred to Beltsville, MD. In 1951, Eaton replaced Keen at Berkeley and Bongberg went to Albuquerque. Two very prominent sub-professional workers, Tom T. Terrell (Coeur d'Alene) and Walter J. Buckhorn (Portland) were not present. -- Malcolm M. Furniss

The five named Palo Alto staff constituted the entire college-educated forest entomologists employed by the Bureau of Entomology in the western U.S. at the time. Craighead was Chief of Forest Insect Investigations having replaced A.D. Hopkins in 1922. He had specialized in taxonomy of Cerambycid larvae. Miller was in charge of the station. Person was involved with physiology of tree susceptibility. Keen succeeded Miller later after the Station moved to Berkeley and developed the first bark beetle susceptibility classification. Evenden was head of the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Lab. Burke was the second forest entomologist trained in the U. S. He specialized in Buprestidae. I knew three of these men well (Miller, Keen, Evenden). -- Malcolm M. Furniss

Western personnel of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations(FII) at Pingree Park, CO, ca 1937. Front row from left: F. C. Craighead, Chief, Washington, D.C.; D. De Leon; J. A. Beal; C. L. Massey; J. C. Evenden; unknown; W. Howe. Back row: G. R. Hopping; unknown; F. P. Keen; J. M. Miller; N. D. Wygant. Craighead was 2nd Chief of FII (1922-1950), succeeding A.D. Hopkins. Beal was head of the Fort Collins, CO, lab at the time; he succeeded Craighead as Chief of FII. Wygant succeeded Beal at Fort Collins. Miller was head of the Berkeley lab; Keen was head at Portland; and Evenden was head at Coeur d'Alene. Massey spent his career at Fort Collins and Albuquerque, specializing in the taxonomy of nematode parasites of bark beetles. Hopping went to Calgary, Canada, and revised the genusIps in his later years. (Furniss 2007A, Fig. 8).

Josef Brunner (standing left), Frank F. Liebig (next to Brunner) andS. A. Silcox (standing, far right) at meeting of Blackfeet National Forest personnel, Point of Rocks, MT, 1910. Brunner, a Bavarian, was hired in 1909 by A.D. Hopkins, Chief of Forest Insect Investigations, Washington, DC, to investigate forest insects in the northern Rocky Mountains. Silcox was equivalent of Regional Forester at the time and later became Chief Forester. The position of Brunner and Silcox at opposite sides in the photo is not coincidental. Brunner was a temperamental person continuously at odds with the Forest Service over the relative importance of fire and insects. Besides, Silcox didn't like tobacco smoke! Liebig worked for Brunner briefly; Brunner said of him: "Liebig cannot be learned anything." (Furniss 2003, Fig. 6).

Parker, Walter E. Cole. Back row: Richard F. Schmitz, Robert E. Denton, Malcolm M. Furniss, Richard I. Washburn, Phillip C. Johnson. In 1961, the designation, "Forest Insect Laboratory" was replaced by the "Division of Forest Insect Research" headed by a Division Chief (Parker at Ogden) and Research Work Units headed by a Project Leader (Johnson at Missoula). At the time of this photo, still more reorganization had occurred. Forest Insect research was now grouped with other disciplines under an Assistant Station Director(Wellner at Ogden). Parker retired soon after. Furniss retired in 1982, ending the continuous residence of a USDA research forest entomologist in Idaho since the Coeur d'Alene Lab was established in 1919. Fellin retired 1986, ending the residence of such personnel in Montana since Josef Brunner was hired in 1909.

Hopkins had just become Head of the newly created Division of Forest Insect Investigations, USDA, after 12 years at WV University. Webb, who studied under Hopkins, was the first college-trained forest entomologist in America. At the request of Gifford Pinchot, Hopkins was investigating a bark beetle outbreak in ponderosa pine. He referred to it as "the pine-destroying beetle of the Black Hills," shortening it later to "the Black Hills beetle." He described it as Dendroctonus ponderosae; it is now known as the mountain pine beetle and infests several pine species in the western United States and western Canada (photo from Burke 1946). (Furniss 1997, Fig. 2).

This office was occupied by forest entomologists after creation of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations, USDA, in 1902. Webb and Burke were the first forest entomologist to receive college training in America. Hopkins is credited with the idea that entomologists of the Division should choose a taxon of insects in which to specialize. Hopkins specialized in Scolytidae; Webb in Cerambycidae and Burke in Buprestidae (Burke 1946). (Furniss 2003, Fig. 8).

He was a big guy (played football at Oregon State College) and most at home in this attire and environment. For a short while in 1954, he was my (M. Furniss) supervisor. The Division of Forest Insect Investigation had just been disbanded and we were transferred to the Forest Service. I was classified as a forester (B.S. degree with minor in entomology) and concerned about my career; at my request (helped by Irene's dinner and biscuits ... see my Founders address), he had me reclassified as an entomologist.

painting of Paul Keen

Paul Keen developed a widely acclaimed tree classification by which susceptible pine trees could be logged selectively to prevent loss by bark beetles. The classification was derived from pine stands east of the Sierra-Cascade mountains from California to Washington. Walter Buckhorn acquired much of the field data used by Keen. Weyerhaeuser Company paid tribute to Keen's achievement by commissioning this painting by Stan Galli that appeared in national magazines. Note details such as the western pine beetle galleries, dark areas on sapwood caused by blue stain fungus, and the woodpecker work on outer bark. (Furniss 2000, Fig. 6).

President Trump delivered a statement on health care at the White House on Monday, as Republican leadership still plans a vote on health care on Tuesday. Mr. Trump kicked off Monday's discussion on health care reform with an early morning tweet that Republicans have "a last chance to do the right thing" on Obamacare.

Here's the highlights of Trump's speech Monday afternoon:

Trump: "Obamacare is death"

"The question for every senator now is whether they will side with Obamacare's architects, or with its forgotten victims," Mr. Trump says.

Mr. Trump warns that "any Senator who votes against starting debate on health care , that you are fine with the Obamacare nightmare."

He adds, "for Democrats this vote is a chance to make up for "their terrible harm they've inflicted on Americans."

Trump says "hopefully" GOP can repeal and replace Obamacare

"For last seven years Republicans have been united in standing up for Obamacare's victims. They kept saying it over and over again, every Republican running for office promised immediate relief," says Mr. Trump. H adds, "We, as a party, must fulfill that promise to repeal and replace, what they've been saying for the past 7 years."

"So far Senate Republicans have not done their job in ending the Obama nightmare," Mr. Trump warned. He adds that there has also been "no help" from Democrats and instead are being "obstructionists."
Trump says "Obamacare's lies" have caused "nothing but pain"

Democrats want to "ignore the pain, suffering and tremendous amounts of money these lies have caused."

Trump: Obamacare has "wreaked havoc" on Americans

"It was a big, fat, ugly lie," Mr. Trump says referring to the ACA.

Mr. Trump describes families hardships under Obamacare, blaming "Democrats promises" for poor coverage and high costs.

Pence says Trump delivering on promises to repeal Obamacare

"Thanks to leadership of Presient Trump help is on the way," urges Vice President Mike Pence.

He adds, "Tomorrow the Senate will have the opportunity to begin debate on bill to repeal and replace Obamacare and as the president said this morning, after years of talking and campaigning on it, now is time for Republicans to act."

"America is counting on the Senate to act," he notes.

Families file in for Trump remarks

Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price along with CMS Director Seema Verma join families and patients who have been impacted by the ACA.

"We're committed to delivering a health care plan that works for them," Price says.

Press awaits Trump, Pence for health care statement

President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are expected to arrive shortly as Mr. Trump is set to give remarks regarding Senate Republicans' health care plan. Earlier, Mr. Trump greeted supporters at the White House who described themselves as "victims" of the Affordable Care Act.

When taking a photo with a group of White House interns, Mr. Trump shot down reporter's questions regarding health care reform by saying, "Be quiet."

"They're not supposed to do that, but they do it," Mr. Trump quipped to a group of laughing interns.

Fire at Salon Under Investigation

TOPEKA, Kan. - The Topeka Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 4005 SW 21st Street, shortly after 1:05am Saturday, September 20, 2008.

The two-story structure is occupied as a beauty salon on the lower level and it houses three apartment units on the upper level.

The first arriving fire officials reported smoke showing on the south/alley side of the structure.

A primary search of the lower level was negative and while three people (one adult female and two adult males), were able to exit the structure on their own, firefighters had to rescue two additional people (one adult female and a child), from the upper level of the burning structure.

The Topeka Fire Department’s Fire Investigations Unit was summoned to this incident to assist with a cause and origin investigation; that investigation revealed:
• Cause (of this fire) – undetermined and remains under investigation.
• Origin (of this fire) – within a utility room at the rear of the property.
• Estimated dollar loss - $150,000.00 (one hundred fifty thousand dollars), $100,000.00 is estimated structural damage/loss and $50,000.00 is estimated content damage/loss.

AMR was on the scene of this incident and they assisted with preliminary assessments of all five of the people who where in the structure, at the time of the fire. No one appeared to need additional assessment therefore, no transport was necessary.

The Kansas Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross was requested and they responded to this incident to assist four adults and one child with immediate post-fire related needs.

Alaska May Become 3rd State To Legalize Recreational Marijuana

By  |

(CNN) -- Marijuana prohibition laws are slowly going up in smoke.

An Alaska citizens' group is pushing to legalize recreational marijuana, which would make it the third state to do so after Colorado and Washington.

Driven by growing public support, Campaign to Regulate Marijuana submitted more than 45,000 signatures Wednesday to Alaska election officials. It needs about 30,000 verified signatures to qualify for the August state ballot.

"The proposed initiative will take marijuana sales out of the underground market and put them in legitimate, taxpaying businesses," said Tim Hinterberger, one of the initiative's sponsors. "Replacing marijuana prohibition with a system of taxation and sensible regulation will bolster Alaska's economy by creating jobs and generating revenue for the state."

The proposal similar to one passed in Colorado legalizes the growing, buying and consumption of marijuana for adults ages 21 or older, CNN affiliate KTUU reported.

Alaska law currently allows those with a medicinal marijuana prescription to legally grow up to six plants or have up to one ounce, according to the affiliate.

The proposal will not only open doors for recreational use, it provides more options for medicinal marijuana users with limited access, Hinterberger told the affiliate.

But marijuana legalization opponents say there are serious health consequences, and argue the drug is often a gateway to harmful, addictive substances.

Washington and Colorado legalized recreational marijuana last year, but the latter became the first state to commence sales this month. Sales in Washington have not started yet.

In addition to Colorado and Washington, 18 other states and the District of Columbia allow some legal use of marijuana, primarily for medicinal purposes.

Pro-recreational marijuana Initiatives are expected in various states in 2016, including Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana and Nevada, according to Mason Tvert of the Marijuana Policy Project.

A Widow's Unspoken Desires

Monday's topic is about dealing with grief. The process, the twists and turns, the questions, the hope . . . Today's topic is a tough one--very personal, and not talked about too much. Maybe I'm stepping over the taboo line, but let's try to bring this out in the open.

There are run-of-the mill temptations--to lash out in anger when hurt, to lie to protect yourself, to covet your neighbor's belongings, to be selfish and unloving when tired. They're almost as familiar as the air we breathe. And so is the temptation of sexual immorality.

All of the sudden you're in Camp Celibacy when you didn't volunteer to go. It's not a fun place to be when memories of intimacy with your husband, or in-your-face pictures from our sex-saturated culture, or the undeniable physical urges rise up from within to parade through the mind.

Guilty feelings pin us down as we expect the imaginary camp counsellor to come barging through the door at any minute. What can we do with the closet full of desire and adult needs?

First, understand the fine line between facing temptation and sin.

Temptation happens; we live in a fallen and polluted world. Temptation's fruit hangs in front of us as clearly as it did for Eve (Gen. 3) and Jesus (Matt. 4). Temptation also arises from our appetites, cleverly disguised as needs and yearnings. They're so, so secretive that part of the attraction is "No one will ever know."

Temptation promises satisfaction, fullfillment and entitlement: "You're only human; you owe it to yourself." It advertises a small cost compared to the supposed benefit--"give in just this once to the romance novel, the lingering touch, the suggestive movie and you'll never have to think about it again." That's the ultimate in false advertising! This onslaught, whether it be loud and blatant or anonymous and seductive--these thoughts, yearnings and bargainings--these are temptation.

Sin, on the other hand, is born from temptation when we don't immediately look away, resist, or even flee. Start to toy with the scenarios in your mind, fantasize the next step closer to that man, breathe in another smell of aftershave--and the hook of sin is set, the trap has sprung, the seed has sprouted. (James 1:13-15)

Yet, like Jesus, it's possible to be tempted and not give in to the situation. So we need to call on Him; He can give us the strength and wisdom to resist.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.  (I Corinthians 10:13 NIV)

Second, strengthen yourself with these five ways to counteract sexual immorality.
1. Understand that sex outside of marriage is sin. Our culture laughs at that thought. We used to think hippies were counter-culture; now the sexually pure woman is counter-culture! Understand God's view of sex by understanding what God's Word says so you don't conform to the world's attitude. (Romans 12:2) God invented sex; He thinks its great. God condones the pleasures of sex in marriage but God did not intend the body for sexual immorality. (I Cor. 6:13) Learn what God has to say about Christians taking part in the sexual sins of fornication or adultery.
2. Practice confession and receive forgiveness (I John 1:9); put off the old self and put on the new (Gal. 4:17-5:20). Mourn over your loss of this physical ability, and then press on to the new lifestyle and new adventures God has in store for you.
3. Find a female accountability partner--but NOT someone who wants to play "Matchmaker." She should have respect for single women and understand the privileges and challenges of being single. This woman can pray for you and help you walk through dating situations. You should have her cell phone number and permission to call her 24/7. This won't last forever, but she should be willing to be available. If she is single, too, it should be a mutual accountability. If you can't find anyone near you, email me and I'll give you my number.
4. Take thoughts captive. (II Cor. 10:5) Run to Jesus in prayer with the temptations you face. Say, "Lord! Look at this!" Such tempting thoughts evaporate under the truth of God's gaze. You'll find they weren't worth the attention for which they clamored when you pray about them.
5. Don't worry. There will be battles, but they will diminish and you will be surprised at how quickly freedom arrives and the struggles get less frequent. If you don't feed the sexual appetite within you it will lie down and rest. It won't die. If you enter into marriage again it will wake up with prime vigor and the joyous freedom of a clear conscience.

This is just a quick snapshot of how God can help us deal with celibacy. Be sure to look into Scripture for yourself and find other resources to help you overcome. God doesn't give us more than we can bear. We can depend on Him for strength and help today!
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18 (NIV)

Widow's Story: Melody Green

Have you sung "There Is A Redeemer" in your church lately? It was written by Melody Green, and recorded by her husband, Keith Green, who died along with two of their children and ten other dear people in a plane crash in 1982.  Keith and the children are buried in a small cemetery less than half a mile from the airstrip, under a headstone reading, "Gone to be with Jesus."

The bio on her blog says, "When Keith died he was just 28 years old. Melody's first born, Josiah, was almost four and Bethany was two years old.  At the time, Melody was at home with their one year old daughter Rebekah Joy and six weeks pregnant with their fourth child.  Melody says, “The rug was yanked out from under my whole world that day."

I urge you to read the rest of her story, praise God for the difficulties He has carried her through, and know that God can do the same for you! Visit her blog at, click on Melody Green and read her bio. ferree

  1. Ferree, Thank you for your ministry to widows. You are precious and God is using you for His glory. Be blessed today, dear one.

  2. I'm a huge fan of Keith and Melody Green. I was listening to his music on my commute today. Can't wait to meet up with him in Heaven. :)

  3. Elaine, you blessed me with your blog post "Widow for a week" today! And Joannah, Heaven's going to rock! Forget the bucket list, I'm making a list of people to meet and sites to see AFTER I die!
    I hope everyone will click on your names to visit the great blogs each of you write. Be blessed!

Music Copyright and Video:

Have you shared a video on social media and it’s been taken down or blocked?

Not sure what music or sound effects you can use?

Want to know the best places to get royalty free music and sound effects?

If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions then read on.

Music is an essential part in creating a ‘feel’ and identity to any video, but can you use a commercial track? When we are producing a video and we take care of royalty free music options. However discussing options with clients we realise it’s a bit of a grey area and there are all sorts of questions about price and choices.

In this article I quote US copyright law, however this information is still relevant if you live in Australia.

If you’re short on time and don’t want to read the whole article, the basic rule is most of the time you cannot use a copyrighted music in your video. Ask this question: “Am I inhibiting the original creator’s ability to earn money from this work?”. Whether or not the creator is making money from their work, you cannot inhibit their ability to do so.

 There are a couple of  misconceptions:

Crediting the artist and claiming you had no intention to violate copyright does not work.

“I can use up to 30 seconds” of a video or musical recording. There are no such rules.

What happens if you use a music with copyright on YouTube ?

First of all i should say i don’t recommend this. These days software will identify that your video has copyrighted music straight away, so there is no flying under the radar. There are four outcomes when a track is flagged on YouTube. It’s up to the music copyright holder (not the offender) to decide how they’d like to deal with the unlicensed usage of their music in YouTube videos. In order of severity:

  • Track the video’s viewership statistics
  • Monetize the video by running ads against it

When IS it OK to Use Another Creator’s Music in Your Video?

It’s a complicated topic but if you want to use music that someone else has created then you’ll need to know the legal implications of doing so. Obtaining permission really depends on the specific piece itself and whether it needs a license or not:

  • In the purest sense, the only time that you do not need to secure special permissions to use a work is when that work is in the public domain. Some older works have made their way into the public domain and according to the Public Domain Information Project that includes: “Any Song or Musical Work Published in 1922 or Earlier is in the Public Domain in the USA. No Sound Recordings are PD in the USA due to a tangled complexity of Federal and State Law”.
  • If what you are using is not in the public domain, you WILL need to obtain a license to use it. The more formal the license the more protected you are when using it. Also keep it mind that many recordings have not only a copyright for the song, but also for the recording of the song itself. In that case, you will need to obtain two licenses.

Music that is Royalty Free is still free to use, but it is NOT in the public domain. There is a distinct difference between the two. Permission must still be granted for royalty free recordings. Generally, these permissions are usually blanket permissions that apply to anyone though and are very easy to obtain.

So you’ve heard of ‘fair use’? Does fair use give me free reign to reuse any material I want without getting permission?

No. “Fair Use” isn’t a magic phrase you can invoke to excuse your use of someone else’s creative work under any circumstances. To be clear: you can’t copy someone else’s work and then simply claim fair use.

What is considered “fair use” depends on the circumstances. To over-simplify for a moment, fair use protects creators who reuse copyrighted content in a few ways: when the new work directly critiques and comments on existing works; for educational or scholarly purposes; to transform the source material into something new. Of course, it’s a bit more complicated than that, so please read on before deciding whether you can claim fair use.

How is fair use determined? What are the “four factors”?

There is no simple formula or method to easily determine whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is a fair one.

The copyright statute gives us four factors to apply on a case-by-case basis:

  • -The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for non-profit educational purposes.
  • -The nature of the copyrighted work.
  • -The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
  • -The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The four factors are more than a checklist. They have to be analysed at an individual level and taken together as a whole, but they might be weighted differently depending on the facts of your particular case.

Courts use these factors to decide whether a particular use qualifies, but remember that they can only do so after you have been sued for copyright infringement. The burden of establishing the fair use exception always falls on the person asserting it; the copyright holder does not have to prove the lack of fair use.

What do the four fair use factors mean?

The fair use factors are generally taken to mean:

  • The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes.
How are you using the copyrighted work?

If your use can be considered “transformative,” this factor will weigh in your favor.

In other words, does your video alter the original work to give it a new meaning or shed new light on it? Uses that directly appraise or comment on the original work are more likely to be transformative because they add a new meaning or message. On the other hand, are you using the material because you needed to put something in a particular scene and the copyrighted work happens to fit? Such uses will probably point away from fair use.

Your use doesn’t necessarily have to be “transformative” to qualify for fair use (although it definitely helps). Any use that furthers the public interest could potentially tip this factor in your direction. Parody, criticism, news reporting, scholarship, and commentary are all areas where courts have traditionally recognized fair use.

This factor also takes into account whether your use is “commercial” or “noncommercial.” Videos that seek to make money or promote a product or brand are harder to justify under this factor. While videos that are purely personal or for educational uses are weighted a bit more toward fair use, non-profit intent does not automatically qualify you for fair use.
  • The nature of the copyrighted work.
What type of copyrighted work are you using?

This factor focuses on the content that is being re-used. It weighs against fair use if the original work is highly creative (like a song, movie, or TV show), and will weigh toward fair use if the original work is less creative (like a phone directory, scientific data, or quotes from a historical record).
  • The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
How much of the copyrighted work are you using? Is the portion you are using the “heart” of the original work?

Generally speaking, using a great deal of the copyrighted work weighs against fair use. Less extensive use generally weighs in favour of fair use. What is considered extensive depends on the total size of the copyrighted work at issue. There are no clear percentages or calculations that decide how much is too much or where fair use ends and copyright infringement begins. In addition, even relatively small uses can point against fair use if that small use is the “heart” of the work, such as a famous riff in a song or the climactic ending of a film.
  • The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Can your use of the copyrighted work stand as a potential substitute for the original?

Uses that might negatively affect the market for the original work strongly weigh against fair use. Uses that have little to no effect will generally weigh in favor of fair use.

If people could watch your video instead of the original work, this factor is less likely to favor you. The point of fair use is to encourage the creation of more and better works of art, not to enable you to profit from works of others.

Important: Remember that there’s no formula for adding up the fair use factors. Different courts will interpret the factors in different ways. Claiming fair use always carries a certain amount of legal risk, but awareness of the factors above will help you decide whether you’re taking an acceptable risk.

How does Fair Use apply to parody?

Parody is an artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of another work for comedic effect or ridicule.

Because a successful parody needs to mimic the original, you can generally borrow more than with other types of uses. One important caveat: You can borrow only as much as you need to fully express the parody or clue in the audience to the joke. Parodies that borrow too liberally from the original may be legally problematic. (Plus, they’re less successful as parodies. Proceed with care!)

Whether a work is considered a valid parody under fair use also depends on the extent to which the new work adds elements that comment upon or criticise the original work. Works that use other works for the purposes of getting noticed don’t qualify. In the Supreme Court’s words, “uses to get attention or to avoid the drudgery in working up something fresh” will have a more difficult claim to fair use.

How much of a copyrighted work can I use under fair use?

There are not a lot of clearly defined rules about fair use. Thus, there are no rules such as “you can use up to 30 seconds” of a video or musical recording.

Does fair use apply to the background music in my video?

We strongly advise against using a commercial music recording as the background song of your video, particularly if you’re just looking to enhance the impact of your video. However, if the visual accompaniment to the song somehow “transforms” the original work to create something wholly new and unique, you may have a stronger claim to fair use.

What do you think of the track we used on this years showreel?

Best Sites for Royalty-Free Music to Use in Your Video

Royalty free is attractive because the legal responsibilities with it are completely minimized. It is the closest you can get to public domain, yet still retain some legal rights if you are the original creator. The nice thing here is that your music or work can become widely used and gain exposure for original creator, yet it benefits the community at large with a free service. These works are free and allow you to use them without penalty or fees.

I urge you to take a hard stand on this. Educate yourself and clients – even if you want a popular track in our video,  it’s really not in your best interest. Respect the time and talent that goes into creating artistic work, and you’ll also benefit yourself.

If you buy a music track on one of the websites below it’s worth keeping the receipt in case YouTube (or other) flag it and ask for proof of purchase. Each site may have some stipulations on the way in which you use the work, so be sure to read the type of license they grant. Some good examples of royalty free music sites are:

Download Windows XP themes

Download Windows XP themes for your computer. A good idea?

Everybody likes free stuff. That's why the internet is crowded with free download sites. The owners of the sites see the huge opportunity that the freebie-seekers represent.

However, there's no such thing as a free meal. Read on and find out why:

First of all, most owners of the sites where you can download Windows XP themes for free want to make money. How do they do that when they give stuff away for free?

Well, often times when you embark on a free download, you are offered to install little, "nice-to-have" programs, like for instance a weather forecaster for your system tray. While it might be fun to have this kind of information on your computer desktop, the side-effects of these freebies are often not so funny.

Have you ever wondered why so many computers gradually slow down over time, why you see so many pop-ups when surfing the internet, or why many computer users are bombarded with spam email messages?

One of the reasons is that, when you install a so-called "free utility", along with it comes some kind of advertising mechanism. You install the program on your computer, thus giving it permission to install executable files and maybe even changing Windows system files. Often times small advertising programs are installed along the way.

Not only does that result in unexpected popups and ads to appear, but also it "eats" your computer processing power. These little spyware programs need part of your computer's processor and system memory capacity, thus slowing down your other programs.

Should you never download Windows XP themes?

Maybe you are really tired of your computer having the same look and feel as every other computer. Maybe you want to give your Windows its own unique style.

Not all Windows XP free themes are dangerous

There are some sources on the net where you can find downloads you can trust. Did you know that Microsoft has its own collection of Windows XP desktop enhancements? If you want to personalize your computer, these are perfectly safe to use.

It would be impossible to publish a complete list of sites where you can safely download Windows XP themes, because there simply are too many and new ones come and go every day.

If you still want to download third party themes or desktop enhancements, make sure to look for solutions that don't change any system dll's. When you are offered to install additional free utilities, run the other way!

Upcoming events and campus opportunities sponsored by WisCEL and UW-Madison teaching and learning partners.

UW – Madison is transitioning to Canvas, a learning management system designed to create a more intuitive and efficient platform for students and instructors to access specific course information and learning aids. If you are interested in learning more about Canvas and how it can be used to best suit the needs of your course, the University offers several workshops to introduce Canvas features and applications. Some of these workshops include:

    • Canvas Demonstration: What is Canvas
    • Getting Started with Canvas
    • Teaching Effectively in Canvas: Designing for Social Learning
    • Managing Grades in Canvas
    • Canvas Open Lab

Upcoming Canvas Workshops

Active Teaching Labs and Exchanges

UW-Madison is offering  Spring 2018 Active Teaching Labs and Exchanges.

Active teaching labs provide a safe space to hear UW-Madison Instructors’ experiences using teaching tools and techniques to motivate, engage and more effectively teach the idverse range of students we encounter. Labs are open to all and held weekly during the academic year. Fine out more information at: Spring 2018 Active Teaching Labs.

Active Teaching Exchanges are a close relative to labs in that both focus on instructor experiences, help  participants understand a tool or method, and provide opportunity for folks to discuss and envision use in their courses. Exchanges are different than labs in that they highlight techniques or more advanced technologies that don’t always lend themselves to individualized hands-on investigation via a guided Activity Sheet. These are focused more on teaching techniques, with facilitated discussions on how technology can support and help scale what are often energy-intensive good teaching practices. Exchanges are open to all and held weekly during the academic year. Find out more information at: Spring 2018 Active Teaching Exchanges.

Planes Keeping Watch for Sharks

By  |

They're doing more than advertising for ladies’ night drink specials. The banner planes are flying up and down the Emerald Coast on the lookout for sharks, so Sandy and I went flying trying to catch a glimpse of threatening marine life.

From our view of about 500 feet, we did get the big picture; spotting stingrays, dolphin and sharks. When a shark is spotted, the pilots calls it in right away to the beach safety patrol.

If the sharks are too close to the shore, the beach patrol will evacuate the area. Even though this watch program can't prevent a shark attack, it can make people aware of the dangers.

Having these extra eyes up above watching for what's down below can help save limbs and lives. Sixteen planes from Boomer Aviation circulate from Panama City to Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Fire Blazes On, Officials Working All Night

By  |

"We lost this, and then we lost, and then we lost the camper trailer back there."

As Emmons Crawley runs off a list of items lost in Sunday's blaze, he can't help but be thankful his home wasn't destroyed, which is more than he can say for his neighbor's, whose mobile home was demolished by the flames.

Fire officials say they did everything they could to salvage as much as possible.

Lt. Billy Writch with Bay County Fire Services said, "We used all our water resource that we had available, and then we found the pool here, so we pulled the water out of the pool and used it to save the home."

Firefighters saved Crawley's home, but he says he suffered a great loss.

Emmons Crawley said, "We lost some hogs and goats and our big shop; they burnt up in the fire."

Fire officials worked late into Sunday night and early Monday morning, trying to contain the blaze, but more than 150 acres of land are scorched, and small fires continue to break out.

Corey Wilson, forest area supervisor, said, "Bay County Fire Rescue sent four brush trucks and two tankers. The Division of Forestry rangers are back in here this morning with four dozers and they're on lines, hot spotting all of the major areas to keep anything from breaking out; we have a wind this morning that's causing some containment problems."

Fire officials are staying on scene until the threat of any flare-ups is put down. Bay County commissioners are meeting Tuesday to decide whether to enact a burn ban for the area.

Charity Ride Aimed at Raising Money for Crimestoppers

By  |

PANAMA CITY BEACH- Saturday’s charity ride was aimed at raising money for Crimestoppers.

Bay county sheriff's deputies and Panama City Beach Police led the sea of bikes for a 45-minute beach ride.

All riders paid a fee anywhere from 10 to 20 dollars to participate and that money goes directly to the organization.

Crimestoppers officials want to raise awareness about what they do and who they are in the community.

"Well this is all about riding. Riders love to ride and this is one way we figured out we can help the community,” said Marta Rose, Harely Davidson employee.

"we're trying to be creative as we possibly can ad come up with some creative fun ways to engage the community in our mission,” said Rusty Russell, Crimestoppers organizer.

After the ride everyone got to enjoy a rock concert and food.

Overpass Coming to 23rd Street in Next Four Years

By  |

Senate President Don Gaets was thrilled with the announced investment to improve transportation across Northwest Florida,
"We have 276 million dollars worth of projects for the Bay County and surrounding areas that we were able to announce today".

Of that 276 million, 83 of which will be towards a flyover being built at the intersection of highway 98 and 23rd street.

The project will allow drivers coming east bound on 98 to turn north onto 23rd without having to wait at the long light.

It also will eliminate traffic coming to a dead stop when the train is arriving at the Panama City Port.

As Senate President Don Gaets also filled us in on how long it will take to complete the porject,
“Well we don't have a completion date now but I would expect it would be done within about 24 months but the big news is is that here is a project that has been needed in this community for traffic safety and for economic develpoment for years and years and years and we just haven't been able to get very far. But now we were able to move this project forward and get the funding for it. Now we will have it and the project will begin within two years."

The other big projects involved with this announcement will be the widening of U.S. 331 in Walton County as well as turning Highways 77 and 79 into four lane roads.

The final cost will exceed the half billion barrier, and if that seems like a lot of money, well, it is,

"Well, I am told that this is the largest single investment of state funds in transportation infrastructure in Northwest Florida History".

Customer donates kidney to grocery store cashier -, Myrtle Beach/Florence SC, Weather

Customer donates kidney to grocery store cashier

Evanston, IL -

(NBC) - When Don Coyne shops at the Jewel-Osco grocery store in Evanston, IL, he always looks for Myra De La Vega's smiling face at the cash register.

Coyne, a social worker at Pershing East Magnet School, says De La Vega is always smiling.

"I have a choice, but I always choose her line to go through," explains Coyne.

For more than a decade, Coyne has handed his cash to De La Vega, who greets everyone with a smile.  But now, it's Coyne who's giving something to De La Vega, his kidney.

De La Vega was diagnosed with kidney failure four years ago. She's been on dialysis treatment eight hours a day for the last 18 months.

"I'm always thinking and thinking, but I can't get up because my body is so weak," De La Vega said.

She needs a kidney transplant, but none of her family members were a match, but Coyne was and agreed to donate his kidney.

"We've been given too many kidneys," he said.

"It gives me chills, just to see that he would do this just because of his generosity," De La Vega said.

"Our human body can get by with one-third of one kidney and still function normally.  I'm confident I'm supposed to do this. I think I'm more fearful when I'm on Lake Shore Drive in the winter time and some of those pot holes try to swallow my car," said Coyne.

The principal at Pershing East Magnet School declared it "Dan Coyne Day." Students learned about De La Vega's story and how kidney transplants work. They also made get well cards to send to sick kids at La Rabida Children's Hospital.

"If you don't give, then you won't get any good things back, and you always need good things in your life," third grader Taylor Stalling said.

The pair will undergo the surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on Friday.
