Summer 2012

Prairie Solitaire

Photograph by © Morgan Heim

In the middle of America, Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve offers an intimate, grounding experience.

The best time to visit Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is late May through early June, when the prairie is a sea of green grass and wildflowers. The second best time is mid-October, when the summer grasses turn red for the prairie’s version of fall colors. Hikes in the morning and evening will afford you beautiful light and a little escape from summer heat. Be sure to check the website for trail conditions and to reserve space on the tour bus, which takes you past the bison herd and to an overlook with prime prairie viewing. Bus tours are offered daily at 11 a.m. from the last Saturday in April through the last Sunday in October, with more available as staffing allows. The preserve is also testing a newly minted cell-phone tour. Numbered markers along trails and in the ranch headquarters area correspond to a dial-in code with recordings of factoids and prairie history. Fliers for the tour are available in the visitor center.

Getting there is easy. From Kansas City International Airport, it’s a 72-mile trip west to Topeka, Kansas, and another 80 miles southwest to Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. From Wichita International Airport, an 85-mile drive northeast will take you to the preserve.

Within spitting distance of the preserve is the budget-friendly Prairie Fire Inn and Spa, where wood paneling and Norman Rockwell posters take visitors back in time. Rooms are clean and sparse; bathrooms are stocked with organic soaps in biodegradable packaging. The inn has free wi-fi and decent cell-phone service, which can otherwise be spotty in the area.

The Millstream Resort, located along the picturesque Cottonwood River in Cottonwood Falls, is another option for clean, down-home motel accommodations. This quaint town, about six miles south of the preserve, is also home to the historic Grand Central Hotel, which is a fine place to grab a meal. Dinner here is a bit of a splurge, but lunch includes reasonably priced sandwiches, salads, and quesadillas. Reservations are recommended. Another local favorite is the Emma Chase Café, known for its homemade pies, hearty cooking, and Friday night music festivals.

Driving east to Emporia, you can choose from an array of standard chain motels and restaurants; Topeka provides similar lodging options. The Ramada Convention Center downtown has reasonable rates that include a full breakfast, and it is located close to Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site.

I’m hoofing it back to my car after an evening spent stargazing in Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Kansas, when the ground starts to tremble under my feet.

I’ve stirred the bison from their slumber and done it in just about the most dangerous way possible—by unwittingly getting too close. My attempts to spot the herd a safe distance from its bedding area had clearly failed. If I survive this, I think, I’ll need to buy a better flashlight.

Snorts and thundering hooves echo through the darkness, and all I can do is wait for the hulking figure of a frightened, sleep-deprived bison to careen into my circle of light. But as I listen, I realize the bison are running away from me. My heart beats again. I choose a wide path around the trail, making sure to leave the bison plenty of room.

These bison are lucky—inside the preserve, they can stretch their legs—but most of their predecessors were either killed off or squeezed out by development. Of the 170 million acres of land that once constituted their grassland habitat, only 4 percent remains. In 2009, the National Park Service and The Nature Conservancy introduced 13 plains bison to the preserve; two years and three babies later, the herd is thriving on one of the largest and best protected landscapes of its kind. Here, there’s still plenty of grass tall enough to tickle the bellies of bison.

The morning after my close encounter with the herd, I’m walking up the Big Pasture Trail, a 13-mile loop of old ranch roads now used primarily by fire crews and researchers. Not many visitors walk the trails here. Of the roughly 22,000 people that come every year, most opt for a short bus tour to an overlook, or maybe a trip to the Spring Hill Farm and Stock Ranch. But with more than 40 miles of trails, most of which were opened to the public in the last two years, this preserve was made for walking. Here, visitors don’t need to worry about dodging cyclists or horseback riders or getting stuck in a traffic jam.

Exploring this place is all about putting one foot in front of the other—a method that park guide Jeff Rundell understands well. “I just love to run out on the prairie,” he says. “I love the freedom, the idea of getting out there and seeing nothing but grass and open space.”

Beyond the old farmhouse, bluestem grass, wild coneflowers, and 500 other plant species stretch for as far as the eye can see. I imagine stepping into a time when pioneers traversed this oceanic landmass on their way to the promise of the West. Suddenly, the faint rumbling of engines and beeping trucks in the distance whisk me back. Their presence seems to signal an awakening for the preserve: Construction is under way on a new visitor center and restrooms.

I’ve come to the prairie at the tail end of summer, and the land is alive with the monarch butterfly migration. As I move farther into the preserve, cicadas quickly drown out any sounds of construction. I find myself incredulous that an animal so small can bombard my ears with a sound so large (male cicadas produce a buzz upwards of 100 decibels—the insect version of a packed concert hall). Birds sing, although I can’t always see them, and somewhere in the grasses to my right, a frog calls for a mate. This is a place where the rarity of visitors leaves nature to shout out loud.

Brown v. Board of Education Historic Site

In Topeka, about a 90-minute drive northeast of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, our country reached a critical turning point at what is now Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site. Here, black children were finally allowed to attend school with white children in 1954. The brick-faced Monroe Elementary School is the site’s lone building. Polished halls invite visitors into an immersive experience of Civil Rights history, including a tour de force of multimedia displays that would put much larger museums to shame.

Hanging from the school’s gymnasium ceiling, a three-screened synchronized movie called “Race and the American Creed” introduces the story of equal rights in America. Down the hall in an old classroom, touchscreens allow visitors to test their Brown v. Board of Education knowledge. Little did I know that the case consisted of five lawsuits argued simultaneously before the U.S. Supreme Court.

For me, the most goosebump-inducing, time-travel-worthy exhibit here was the “Hall of Courage,” a tunnel of four giant video screens separating one half of a classroom from another. Here visitors walk in a student’s shoes through a hallway of cacophonous news footage depicting angry mobs. I literally held my breath as I pushed through to the other side.

Brown v. Board of Education Historic Site is good to visit anytime, though late summer may provide a quieter experience.

After stargazing, bison stampedes, and early mornings spent watching the sun rise over the Flint Hills, I’ve arrived at my last day at the preserve. By now I’ve more than earned my prairie legs, but there’s one last trail I have to hike. I need to time it just right: that part of the day when the sun bathes the land in soft golden light. For my last visit, I want to see the prairie in full glory.

So early in the afternoon, I sit idling at a Starbucks drive-thru in nearby Emporia to fuel up and kill time. As I wait, the girl at the window strikes up a conversation. “What are you up to today?” she asks. I tell her that I’m going to the preserve.

“Oh, I’ve been meaning to go there,” she says. “But no one will go with me.”

I suggest she go by herself, hoping she’ll be encouraged by the fact that I, too, am a young woman traveling solo.

“Nah,” she says. “There are chiggers out there. My biology professor showed us pictures of what the bites look like.”

It seems the very nature of nature keeps even the locals at bay.

I return to the preserve and pull into an empty parking lot. My 6-mile hike takes me along Fox Creek, another new trail in a very different type of tallgrass prairie known as the “bottomlands.” Here, dry hills give way to wetter lowlands and the grasses grow their tallest. I reach my hands high in the setting sun, and the tops of the plants evade my fingertips. Cottonwoods line a ridge, and a creek winds through woods farther below. In one field, hidden by a wall of sunflowers, I watch wildlife forage in dimming light: a flock of wild turkeys and every member of a white-tailed deer family—a buck, a doe, and three fawns. Hawks sweep through the branches and up to a butte on the other side of the ravine.

I’ve spent a lot of time in national parks since I was a child, but this moment marked the first time in a while that I felt a park was mine. What has in many places become an overcrowded nature experience goes back to its roots at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. I am literally the only person for miles—and I didn’t even have to go very far to get there.

This park's sharply textured rock formations share a 244,000-acre landscape with the largest protected mixed-grass prairie in the United States. The buttes, pinnacles and spires that define this region have been eroding for half a million years into their distinctive shapes — and continue to erode at a rate of about an inch per year. The park's rugged beauty attracts visitors from around the world, and its geologic deposits contain the world's richest Oligocene epoch fossil beds, estimated at 23 to 35 million years old. Badlands National Park is also an excellent place to see the night sky; on any given night, visitors may see up to 7,500 stars and a particularly clear view of the Milky Way.

Aubertine Secures $50k for Fulton Library Elevator

Elevator in historic library improves accessibility, opens up new opportunities for new programs

FULTON (September 13, 2010)—State Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine today visited the Fulton Public Library to see the new elevator purchased as part of a project to improve accessibility, for which he secured a $50,000 legislative grant.

“We’re so thrilled with the Senator’s help in making the library’s elevator dream come true,” said Marion Stanton, president of the Fulton library’s board, noting that the elevator now gives the library the option of opening up unused space for new uses, ensuring the library has room to grow. “It could never have happened without his help. It will be so important to so many people.”

Construction on the project began almost a year ago and the elevator is now in service. The elevator serves all four floors, including the basement space, in the 105-year-old Carnegie building. At tower was constructed on the backside of the building to accommodate the housing for the elevator.

“It has given adults and children access to areas they couldn’t get to before,” said Penny Kerfien, library director, adding that prior to the elevator, staff would get books for people who could not access them, but now these patrons can peruse the entire selection of books available. “Because of the 22 steps, if there are mobility issues, they couldn’t go down or up the stairs. We are very grateful for the Senator being a library supporter, not just to us, but the whole area he serves.”

“I very much appreciate the Senator obtaining this grant for us,” said Sharon Guyer, trustee and secretary for the library board. “It’s allowing everyone in our community to use this library.”

In 2008, a legislative grant secured by the Senator in the amount of $30,000 paid for new lighting and windows in the library, which have reduced energy use, saving the library money.

“I’m proud to have had the opportunity to be a part of these great projects by helping to secure this funding, but the truth is that these projects happen because of the hard work and commitment of the library board and employees, the volunteers and this community,” Sen. Aubertine said. “Libraries help bring our communities together and they provide the resources we all need to continue learning throughout life from childhood on.”

The Cherry Orchard: A new version by Pam Gems

Anton Chekhov

PaperBack (14 Mar 2007)

Oh, the trees! Nothing but white and green as far as you can see - remember, Lyuba?
Oh my lovely childhood. Waking up to happiness, looking out at blossom and trees and there they are - the same trees, the same blossom - after cruel winter, warmth and light and feeling!

In his masterpiece The Cherry Orchard, Chekhov maintains an exquisite balance between elegiac celebration of the romance of the past, as embodied in the cherry orchard in full bloom, and the awesome prescience of what is so soon to overwhelm Russia - revolution. The themes are majestic, and yet at the centre of the play is Ranévskaya, a tragic woman who lacks adroitness for survival in a changing world but who has one asset: a capacity for love. It is her solution - and Chekhov's.
This new version of The Cherry Orchard by Pam Gems opened at the Crucible, Sheffield in March 2007.

Follow-up Letter Variables aren't expanded

Dave Burkholder
on 11/18/15, 11:23 AM 500 views

I'm having a problem with the Follow-up module PDF reports, which I need to mail letters.

The variables aren't expanded into the final values. Instead, the content reads like:

Dear ${object.name},

Best Regards,

${object.get_followup_table_html() | safe}

The emails work correctly. I guess somehow the module context isn't getting passed to the PDF report? Any solution or troubleshooting tips for me?

4Feb 4 / 97
6Dear Sir George Grey
8Thank you much for the words of sympathy with my little story sent me
9by your letter.
11Mr Molteno writes that we may call & see you for a few moments on
12Sunday afternoon. We shall come at three o'clock in the hope of seeing
13you. You are the one man of the English race, now alive, with regard
14to whom, I feel, that I should like to remember all my life, that I
15once shook hands with him. I will however not be the first time of my
16meeting you.
18When I was a baby of about two ^or three^ months old, in some of your
19travels in Africa you came to the mission station where my parents
20lived. I was very delicate & supposed to be dying. My mother told me
21that you took me in your arms & said “Poor little Baby, Is it so ill!”
22Whenever during my childhood my brothers or the other children used to
23tease me about anything, I always had the response “Ah but Sir George
didn't hold you in his arms!” & I always found their respect for
25me very much increased after that!! I think I have it was at the time
26when you were travelling with Prince Alfred.
28I am very grateful to the friend who read my little story & liked, & I
29hope I shall meet her on Sunday.
31I am, dear Sir George Grey, yours with grateful affection
32Olive Schreiner
The ‘little story’ referred to is Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland, with Schreiner having sent an advance (presumably typescript) copy to Grey, asking for permission to dedicate the book to him. The dedication as it appears in the first edition is dated February 1897 and written from Russell Road, Kensington, London.

Jean-Paul Agon

Chairman and CEO of L'Oreal

Born in 1956, Jean-Paul Agon joined L’Oreal in 1978. He is today the Group’s Chairman and CEO of the n°1 cosmetics company worldwide. He has spent his entire career with the company, much of it outside of France. After a brief stint in 1980 as product manager for the Consumer Products division in France, he was appointed General Manager of L'Oréal Greece in 1981, where he spent four years turning around a tough situation and laying the foundations of a solid business.

In 1985, he returned to France as General Manager of L'Oreal Paris, where he oversaw a number of key launches and major successes, including Studio Line, Plénitude and Elsève.

In 1989, he became International Managing Director for Biotherm, remodelling the brand to renew its strength, dynamism and modernity, endowing the brand with truly international appeal.

In 1994, Mr Agon became Managing Director of L'Oréal Germany, where he played a key role in dealing with issues related to European markets, at the time suffering a slowdown in growth.

In 1997, L'Oreal Chairman and CEO Lindsay Owen-Jones entrusted him with the task of setting up and heading the L'Oreal Asia Zone in the midst of a full-blown economic crisis.

Ulysses Festival connects high art, folk art and underrepresented culture

Ulysses Festival connects high art, folk art and underrepresented culture

Like the butterfly for which it’s named, the Ulysses Charlotte Spring Festival of the Arts will celebrate the transformative nature of opera, ballet, film, symphonic music, chamber music and visual art this month.

Throughout March, the Ulysses festival will feature dozens of cultural events all unified under the theme “The Majesty of Russia and the Music of Tchaikovsky.” A full schedule can be found at www.-charlottecultureguide.com/ulysses.

The Russian theme unifies a variety of events: NC Dance Theatre’s “Sleeping Beauty;” screenings of Russian films including Mihaileanu’s “The Concert” (presented by the Charlotte Jewish Film Festival) and Eisenstein’s “Battleship Potemkin” (presented by The Light Factory); the little known but well-respected opera “Eugene Onegin” (pronounced Own-YAY-gin) by Opera Carolina; and other performances of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s work.

“Tchaikovsky is extremely unique,” said James Meena, executive director of Opera Carolina, who started the Ulysses festival to collaborate with the Charlotte Symphony and Opera Carolina.

“He is one of few conductors who produced masterpieces in symphonic music, chamber music, ballet, opera, choral and sacred music,” Meena explained. “You can’t say the same thing about Mozart, Beethoven or even Brahms.” This elite club does, however, include Igor Stravinsky and Dmitri Shostokovich, both Russian.

“[Tchaikovsky] is the best composer of the 19th century for dance,” NC Dance Theatre’s Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux, who leaped at the chance to stage “Sleeping Beauty,” said. First performed in 1890, Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty” score was set to motion by Marius Petipa, a French ballet dancer considered to be the most influential ballet choreographer in history. “They understood dance,” Bonnefoux said on the legendary collaboration: “Russian people have it in their blood to dance.”

“The musical tradition from which ‘Eugene Onegin’ comes has a deep Russian folk element, which made it exciting and accessible to a Russian audience,” Meena explained. The story of “Eugene Onegin” is based on a novel of the same name published in 1833 by Alexander Pushkin, an influential Russian literary figure. In both the book and libretto (text of the opera), Onegin regrets his blasé rejection of a young woman’s love and challenges his best friend to a fatal duel. Interestingly, Pushkin himself died in a duel over a lady’s honor.

In the fine art world, the rich fruits of Russian culture are relative newcomers when compared to the traditions of French ballet and Italian opera. “Before the iron curtain fell, we didn’t have a lot of Russian artists coming over – people fluent in the language and style,” Meena, referring to the end of the Cold War in 1989, explained. “Today, that’s very different and now we are aware of the treasure trove that is the Russian opera house.”

“‘Sleeping Beauty’ was not performed for a long time but the Russian dancers kept it alive,” said Bonnefoux, who was a principal dancer at the Paris Opera Ballet and the New York City Ballet. “The greatest dancers and teachers came from Russia to Paris.”

Those that know little or nothing about Russia or the music of Tchaikovsky are sure to find something to please along this cultural odyssey. “For the first time, so many organizations are collaborating with the same goal and high standards,” Bonnefoux said.

“[All the partner organizations] work from a place of respect for one another,” added Meena, who credits Charlotte’s collaborative infrastructure.

The Ulysses Charlotte Spring Festival of the Arts will be an annual event with a different theme each year. Experience “The Majesty of Russia and the Music of Tchaikovsky” before time flies.

541. …Pick Up Sticks!: The obligation to help others load and unload

…you shall help stand it up, with him. (Deuteronomy 22:4)

Not only are we required to assist someone with unloading his animal (or himself), we are obligated to assist with loading in the first place. There is an important difference between the mitzvos of loading and unloading: one can expect to be paid for his help in loading but he must help to unload for free. (See Talmud Baba 32a for a full discussion of this topic.)

The reason is what we have said about unloading: helping others reinforces positive traits. Being paid in this case doesn’t contradict that. Unloading is more urgent – the animal is in pain and the owner can incur a loss. This service we must provide for free. Loading is merely for the owner’s convenience. We have to offer our help but we can expect to be compensated for our time and effort.

This mitzvah applies in all times and places. It is discussed in the Talmud in tractate Baba Metzia (32a-33a) and codified in the Shulchan Aruch in Choshen Mishpat 272. This mitzvah is #203 of the 248 positive mitzvos in the Rambam’s Sefer HaMitzvos and #71 of the 77 positive mitzvos that can be fulfilled today as listed in the Sefer HaMitzvos HaKatzar of the Chofetz Chaim.

Dress Up Dolls: Puppy Love Mini Stamp Set

Price: $5.00
Product ID : 3300

Dress Up Dolls: Puppy Love Tip Sheet

1. The Dress Up Dolls: Puppy Love set is an accessory set for the Dress Up Dolls: Basic set.

2. Use the images in this set along with the coordinating dies and the Dress Up Dolls: Basics stamps and dies to create a set of paper dolls, or use the dolls on cards, tags, bookmarks, and more. Create cards, treats, and party invitations.

3. Create a magnetic paper doll set by adhering the Adhesive Sheets to the Magnet Sheets (both available in the Papertrey Ink store) before die cutting the dolls and accessories. You can choose to color them yourself, or leave them black and white and let the recipient do the coloring. Makes a fun gift for a child!

4. Consider storing a set of magnetic dolls in a small tin for a fun travel or on-the-go activity for kids. Get creative with decorating the tin for added fun.

5. The dolls can “hold” the heart-shaped chocolate box, long-stemmed rose, or daisy bouquet.

6. The puppy has some accessories as well, dress him up in his collar and sweater. The leash can be slipped on the doll’s hand.

7. Stamp a whole litter of puppies for the dolls to “walk” for a really cute project.

8. Use the puppy on its own, apart from the dolls, for lots of different applications.

9. Mix and match accessories from other Dress Up Dolls sets for endless options!

If you loved playing with paper dolls as a child, here’s your chance to enjoy them all over again in your paper crafting! The Dress Up Dolls: Puppy Love set coordinates with the Dress Up Dolls: Basics set and contains lots of fun accessories to get your Dress Up Dolls ready for Valentine’s day. This set includes a cute puppy on a leash with an optional sweater, some basic girl and boy outfits, as well as some sweet Valentine treats, chocolates and flowers! You can use the Dress Up Dolls: Basics and the Puppy Love sets along with their coordinating dies to create your very own set of paper dolls, but of course they’re perfectly at home on cards, tags, party invitations, and wraps, too. Mix and match the accessories across the entire Dress Up Dolls line for endless fun!

*This stamp set does not include a CD case.

This set comes on a single 3x4 acetate sheet. The assembled dolls wearing head-to-toe outfits measure 2” wide and 3 1/2” high. The puppy measures 3/4” wide and 1” high. The heart-shaped chocolate box measures 5/8”. The bouquet of daisies measures 1/2” wide and 3/4” high. The “be mine” sentiment measures 1 3/8” wide and 1/2” high.

"Excellent service"

Anything else?

I visited the centre on a Tuesday lunchtime at about 12 o'clock after a fall - I was dealt with quickly and efficiently by the friendly reception staff and I was then seen by the nursing staff and my foot was X-rayed within 30 mins. What an excellent service - this really is a service that Folkestone could not manage without. Many thanks.

"I asked to be referred to this..."

About: The Royal London Hospital For Integrated Medicine

What I liked

I asked to be referred to this exceptional hospital over a year ago in a bid to help with symptoms that had persisted and had been unsuccessfully been treated by allopathic medicine. i am now under a herbalist at this hospital who with the combination of traditional and complementary medical training was able to prescribe the right measure of herbs for my particular needs. These herbs have changed my life for the better. The effects of them have been the most positively profound out of any other medicine i have tried to date. I feel 100% better since taking them. My symptoms have lessened considerably, my energy levels have improved, I am much less vulnerable to infection and my general well being and mood has improved dramatically.

The staff here are friendly and take great care to listen and to help. The hospital is relaxing, bright and conducive to healing in every possible way. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I am very grateful to have discovered it and to be a patient there as it has changed my life. This I feel should be a flag ship hospital that sends out a beacon of hope to the rest of the NHS.

Jo - A Petfinder Happy Tail

Adopted from Sugarfoot Farm Rescue, Columbia, KY

Jo - posted 03/27/2014

From Ariana of Columbia, KY

So in the late summer of 2013, I turned 16 and begun my search for my first job. I was directed to our towns online magazine by my grandmother, and saw a couple of job listings, but then something caught my eye. Sugarfoot Farm Rescue-Wish List.

I looked at it, and at the bottom in all caps was listed "...and we need HELP" So I called the number and the next day I showed up to volunteer. And thus began my days at the rescue.

I quickly fell in love with the dogs and the work I was doing, and around October, someone surrendered a dog named Jo. She was a two year old Canaan dog, and sweet as could be. We just clicked in a way, and I soon fell in love. I begged and pleaded and my father said that if I saved up for all expenses, I could adopt Jo.

March 19th of 2014, I signed my name on the dotted line and took her home.

I'll admit, I get frustrated with her at times, but in the end she looks at me and gives me a puppy dog smile, and I forget why I was even mad in the first place. She sleeps all night curled up with me, and lays in the living room floor with our old Australian Shepherd while we eat dinner. She fits perfectly into the family, and I could never wish for a better dog.

AIDS TV Program

  1. Sep 17, 2008 #1
    Part 1:

    Part 2:

    Part 3:

    Part 4:

    Part 5:

    Part 6:

    Friend sent me this. Really interesting. This is part 1, you can click the other 6 parts on the side bar. Its only about 40 mins long in total. Is this crackpot stuff, or is there truth to it?

    The premise is that AIDs was created by this guy who was trying to cure polio in africa. They had to use monkeys to do this, and they used chimps which can have SIV, which is their equivalent of HIV. When they used the parts of the monkies as a substrate, they could have been infected with SIV which mutated into HIV in the people that consumed it. The reason being, the places where it is alleged that chimps were used (the were supposed to use a different type of monkey not chimps) is exactly the same places where aids first broke out.

    Can someone fix the title to AIDS please.

    That's just a word, you are asked for a mechanism.

    How does any other replication happen? What other replication-like processes do you know for RNA? Or DNA?

    I think you are only asked to propose some possibilities, which is slightly easier than finding out what actually happens but prepares the mind for it.

Polarisation of electromagnetic waves?

  1. Jan 11, 2007 #1
    I have an a-level exam tomorrow which is really important in deciding whether I can get into uni or not. So basically I am having a panic moment. Could you PLEASE tell me how you polarize electro-magnetic waves? What is the effect of polarization? Why do we polarize waves? How can you tell if a wave is polarized? How can you unpolarize a wave?

    Sorry if thats to much. Thanks in advance.

    So I'll be fixing my 91 ford bronco full size tomorrow afternoon and thought you guys might have some advice. It won't start, and it's not the battery or solenoid, leading me to believe it;s the starter. I turn the key and get a single click.

    *In the days leading up to this issue, it was making sort of a higher pitched whirling noise when I'd first start it. I'm not sure if this is an indicator of another problem.*

    As always, the help is much appreciated, as I am far from being a mechanic.

    generally, just a click means the starter is not getting full power. Check for corroded power lines at the starter

    If the starter was growling during use it could be the bushings are shot. When bushings are worn the commutator shaft can c o c k sideways and the armature can short internally. If your battery seems to be draining as well from poor starting, all the more then, it seems to be leaning to an internal short due to worn bushings.

    You should be able to rule out battery or solenoid by checking the voltage at the starter during cranking. Should closely match battery voltage. VOM between starter post and ground. If much lower than battery voltage suspect corroded or dirty contacts or bad cable between batt and starter.

PSU Women’s Basketball dumped by Keene State

January 23rd, 2007 by Adam

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Sophomore Michele Boudreau (Readsboro, Vt.) drained five of seven shots from three-point range and finished with a game-high 19 points Tuesday evening as Keene State College dumped Plymouth State University, 80-59, in a Little East Conference women’s basketball game at Foley Gymnasium.

Boudreau was one of three Owls to score in double figures. Senior Bri Barnes (Merrimack, N.H.) canned six of nine from the floor, including a pair of three-pointers, and finished with 16 points, while classmate Sarah Begnoche (Millville, Mass.) added 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting.

Keene State defeated Plymouth State for the fifth straight time, improving to 13-5 overall and 6-2 in Little East play. PSU struggled to its sixth straight loss and fell to 4-13 overall and 1-7 in the LEC.

Junior Lauren Daniels (Concord, N.H.) was the high scorer for Plymouth State with nine points, while seniors Kaitlyn Linehan (South Boston, Mass.) and Ashley White (Merrimack, N.H.) added eight and seven points, respectively. Fourteen of the 16 Panthers got into the scoring column.

It was a one-point Keene State lead (11-10) with 12 minutes to play in the first half when the Owls rattled off 16 straight points over the next eight minutes. PSU regrouped and got the margin down to 11 points (33-22) at the intermission.

KSC scored the first 10 points of the second half to push the lead over 20 points, and PSU didn’t threaten the rest of the way.

Plymouth State is home again on Thursday for a non-conference game against Newbury College (6:00 p.m. at Foley Gymnasium). Keene State also plays a non-conference game on Thursday, visiting Middlebury (7:00 p.m.)

Father's Day Poems

A fistful of poems about fatherhood by classic and contemporary poets.

Fathers Day is a rich holiday on the poetry calendar, and we present this selection for the dads as well as their kids. We’ve selected several poems about fatherhood, ranging from the classic ("Only a Dad" by Edgar Guest) to the contemporary (Maxine Kumin’s “Spree”). Some of these poems speak of fathers with love, admiration, and praise (“The Gift”), while others speak with resentment, sorrow, and regret (“In Dreams”). We've also got poems about children from the perspective of the father, from the first moment (“On the Birth of a Son”) on through the various stages of life (“Dressing my Daughters”).

The first Japanese-American photojournalist, he is responsible for the most famous photos of the Eastland disaster, the Chicago race riots of 1919, and the St. Valentine’s Day massacre, among others. This show will explore his lesser-known landscapes.
