Biography – McGILL, JOHN – Volume VI (1821-1835) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
McGILL, JOHN, army officer, office holder, and politician; b. March 1752 in Auckland, Wigton, Scotland; m. Catherine Crookshank; no surviving issue; d. 31 Dec. 1834 in Toronto, Upper Canada.
John McGill emigrated to Virginia in 1773. When the American revolution began he joined the short-lived Loyal Virginians as a lieutenant, then late in 1777 transferred to the Queen's Rangers, in which corps he served as adjutant and was taken prisoner along with his commander, John Graves Simcoe*. He was promoted captain before the surrender at Yorktown, Va. After the war he settled in Parrtown (Saint John, N.B.), although he was perhaps at Quebec in 1788–89 as assistant to the commissary general. One of the first two captains proposed by Simcoe for the second Queen's Rangers in Upper Canada, he preferred the administrative post of military commissary. Setting out in February 1792 with Æneas Shaw* by the Témiscouata route to join Simcoe at Quebec, he accidentally injured his leg so badly that he periodically thereafter found it painful to walk or ride. He saw no regimental service in Upper Canada; when the Rangers mustered at Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) against an anticipated American invasion in September 1794, his duty was to escort Simcoe's family to safety at Quebec. Eventually, on 27 April 1805, he was appointed the last lieutenant of the county of York, remaining so until his death, but reforms accompanying a new militia act of 1808 virtually ended the military duties of that office.
The first military list of Upper Canada named him as commissary of stores and provisions at a captain's salary. Early in 1796 he combined that office with the new civilian post of provincial agent for purchases, his brother-in-law George Crookshank* becoming his deputy as commissary. In the intervening four years he was often frustrated by a jurisdictional quarrel between the civil authority of the lieutenant governor in Upper Canada and the military authority of the commander-in-chief at Quebec, a quarrel which also raised similar if lesser difficulties for the surveyor general and the deputy superintendent general of Indian affairs. McGill was held accountable to the commissary general at Quebec, John Craigie*, although he and Simcoe had expected otherwise. Contracts to supply troops in the upper province were awarded over his head from Quebec, and he was ordered to limit his purchases to requisitions sent from there. Worse, his complaint about the profiteering of merchants and about irregularities in supplies from Lower Canada finally drew the rebuke from the commander-in-chief, Lord Dorchester [Carleton*], "that anything further on that head is unnecessary." Simcoe protested in vain that McGill was being reduced to "a public Accountant without Power." In order to perform his duties and to meet Simcoe's wishes, McGill regularly exceeded his authority as commissary: he continued at York (Toronto) the practice established at Newark of supplying civilians from military stores and he drew on the military budget for workmen and materials for civil works at York. The problem of jurisdiction was not solved merely by giving McGill civil authority. Administrator Peter Russell* was left with no instructions when Simcoe returned to England, and a new commander-in-chief, Robert Prescott*, thought in 1798 that military supplies could be bought without an Upper Canadian agent, "at less Expence to the Public, and with less trouble to myself." Since McGill was now a civil agent, Prescott cut off his military allowances and refused to accept many of the requisitions by which McGill continued to supply civilian contractors and settlers from military stores. The commander-in-chief did however make one concession: from late in 1798 he regularly sent McGill's military instructions through the lieutenant governor's office.
McGill had been disappointed in the hope that his new civil status would enable him to control the price and quantity of local supplies for the troops and government in Upper Canada. His reforms in purchasing, recommended by Simcoe but vetoed by Dorchester, were a failure when he finally introduced them in March 1796: merchants refused to make tenders on his terms, and farmers would not reveal how much wheat they had in store. The surplus of flour he managed to accumulate in a new depot at York was more than matched by a shortage – equal to the rations of 100 men for 236 days – produced at Niagara by the failure of local contractors. At Kingston Richard Cartwright*, "the only holder," set the price. Farmers there sold to the American rather than the provincial government. After the bad crops of 1796–97 McGill found Detroit merchants selling flour from Lower Canada to the United States army. Before local shortages eased in the following year, however, McGill was established as an energetic and efficient purchasing agent, as well as a careful public accountant. He even kept track of the minor indulgences he was ordered to make to his fellow officials at York, such as the issue of building materials to Shaw or the use of government oxen by John Elmsley*. His civil appointment had in fact recognized the range of government business that he had already begun to conduct, especially the erection of public buildings at York and arrangements for the construction of Yonge and Dundas streets. Indeed, if the label "founder of York" were applied to the man who did most of the work, it would go to John McGill.
On 2 March 1796 McGill was appointed to the Executive Council along with the surveyor general, David William Smith*. Simcoe had begun recommending him more than two years earlier and in 1795 gave the pressing reason that there were too few councillors: "the sickness of a Single Member stops the whole Business of the Province." Since the receiver general, Peter Russell, was already a member, the effect was to put the heads of the three main executive departments together on the council for the first time, just when its business was rapidly increasing. McGill had to wait until 8 Oct. 1808 to become a regular salaried member, because the civil establishment allowed only five; but well before that he had risen above the status of Simcoe's most efficient protégé. Sensible, assiduous, and apparently indifferent to the animosities among his colleagues, he was by the end of 1801 a regular member of the council's standing committee. A new lieutenant governor, Peter Hunter*, had set up the committee to conduct business during his frequent absences, but even when in York he did not himself regularly attend the council. The committee therefore bore the brunt of routine business and of enforcing Hunter's measures for administrative reform. Although Chief Justice Henry Allcock* was no doubt its dominating personality, McGill seems to have been its work-horse, one of the "few Scotch instruments" on whom (according to Robert Thorpe*'s accusation) Hunter relied too much. With Allcock's departure in September 1804, the arrival of an able attorney general, Thomas Scott, in the following April, and Hunter's death four months later, the working style of the council changed. McGill remained a faithful attender for some years, but his influence and then his health declined. He resigned on 13 Aug. 1818.
He remained until his death on the Legislative Council, to which he had been appointed on 10 June 1797. He had been one of its officials, the master in chancery, since 22 May 1793 and did not relinquish that office until some time in 1803. He was a less regular attender on this council, at first perhaps because being agent for purchases often took him away from York.
On 1 July 1801 McGill exchanged the agency for a more sedentary but equally onerous post, the inspector generalship of public accounts. The office, which became the ministry of finance in 1859, was a new one, created at Hunter's instigation because the province had no effective system of audit. Russell, the only auditor general ever commissioned for Upper Canada (10 Aug. 1794), had never developed the office. McGill's new post replaced it. Having set up a provincial system of audit and presided over it for nearly 12 years, McGill changed offices again. In his last administrative appointment, he took over the receiver generalship on an acting commission (5 Oct. 1813 to 2 Dec. 1819). He was succeeded, this time only briefly, by his brother-in-law George Crookshank. Beginning as the provinces chief purchasing agent, he ended as its chief financial officer.
If McGill's duties were always unspectacular, their importance and their growth were in sharp contrast to his formal salary. When he made up his final accounts as agent for purchases, the Treasury had cleared bills from his office of more than £27,000 sterling. As acting receiver general he dispersed from £63,000 to £91,000 a year. The highest combination of stipends that he ever drew was £350 a year, with no share in land granting fees. Add that as agent for purchases and as inspector general until 1803 he had to be paid from contingency funds because his offices were not included in the civil establishment, that for 14 years he served as agent or as executive councillor with no salary, and that he never received a full commission as receiver general. The £200 pension he received in 1822 seems rather grudging recognition of vital services long and competently performed.
In the rewards anticipated by Upper Canadian officials, however, salary did not count for much. Land granting fees (to which McGill had access only when he became acting receiver general) might be of consequence. Social prestige and land were the main objects to which officials looked. McGill did not move in the highest society of York officialdom. No lieutenant governor after Simcoe, for example, is reported to have dined at his house. McGill lived among the "gentry" north of the town, but he visited with his wife's relations the Crookshanks and Macaulays or with other Scots such as the Beikies, none of them officials of his own rank and some of them merchants. His Presbyterianism seems to have been no disadvantage, although John Strachan* complained of it: it did not prevent him from joining Anglicans on a committee to sponsor a church at York. Nor did he dissent from the toryism of his fellow officials. The only public questions on which he recorded a strongly independent view were the size of a government grant for district grammar schools, on which he suggested spending up to £7,000 more than anyone else on the Executive Council, and a conflict of interest which he saw in borrowing by York magistrates under the Market Square Act. The skills he exercised on behalf of government were essentially those of a merchant and accountant, skills undervalued by officers with aristocratic pretensions. He continued to be known as "Commissary McGill" long after his seat on both councils entitled him to the prefix "Honourable."
Yet McGill prospered in Upper Canada. As a half-pay captain he was entitled to 3,000 acres of land and as an executive councillor to 5,000 more. Before he had taken up the second allowance the rule was changed, on 1 July 1799, to give councillors 6,000 acres "including former grants." His actual grants fell between the old and the new rules, at 7,509 acres. He can hardly be said to have abused the system, but he was adept at getting the most out of it. He obtained land in good locations, he exchanged bad lands for good, and he knew when to sell. He had 850 acres in York Township, including the 100-acre park lot where he usually lived. It was far enough from the town to be a refuge for the family when the Americans occupied York in 1813, but urban growth made it worth £12,000 when it was finally sold in 1855. Its value had been reckoned at £150 in 1799. He also had 400 acres in Scarborough, 1,000 in Whitby, 1,259 in Clarke (which he got in exchange for 1,000 acres in West Flamborough), and 3,000 in Oxford North townships. Except for the Oxford and some of the York lands, he had sold it all by 1831, mostly after 1817 and in lots of 200 acres.
He did not limit his financial skills to government service. He acted as agent to collect the fees of absent officials. In a province with no banking system, credit was arranged by personal notes, which were usually discounted on acceptance and were discounted less if presented or endorsed by someone known to be of substance. McGill was used enough to giving credit on this system to doubt the need for the Bank of Upper Canada in 1821. He nevertheless subscribed to its founding, "more than was perhaps prudent," he thought. His suspicions of the new credit system were confirmed when the bank refused a note he had endorsed in 1831. By then he was winding up his affairs. If he had not been "very ricth" in 1819, as his employee James Laidlaw thought, his will, dated 8 Nov. 1834, disposed of a considerable fortune in lands and investments. With no living children and his wife dead since 1819, he left his estate to Peter McCutcheon, his nephew, a Montreal merchant who had just become president of the Bank of Montreal. He made it a condition that McCutcheon assume the surname McGill*.
McGill could ensure that his name would be carried on, but not that his career would be remembered. The Correspondent and Advocate (Toronto) of 1 Jan. 1835 noted his death as that of "an old Pensioner on his Majesty's Government." Peter McGill's reply, though detailed, did not rescue his uncle from obscurity. John McGill may however have been as indifferent to fame as he was to high social position; the solid rewards he found in Upper Canada were surely those he valued most.

[Beyond the brief notes in W. J. Rattray, The Scot in British North America (4v., Toronto, 1880–84), and Lorenzo Sabine, The American loyalists, or biographical sketches of adherents to the British crown in the war of the revolution. . . . (Boston, 1847), there are no useful secondary accounts of McGill's career. His personal papers (MTL, John McGill papers, and a second group of his papers in the Henry Scadding coll.) relate chiefly to the conduct of his various offices. They supplement government departmental records, of which the most informative are PRO, CO 42, the minutes of the Executive Council of Upper Canada (PAC, RG 1, E1), and some Audit Office papers (PRO, AO 1, bundles 2038–40, and AO 2, bundle 142). Most of what is known about his personal life comes from scattered references in the papers of his contemporaries: the Samuel Peters Jarvis papers at the MTL; and, at the AO, the Crookshank–Lambert papers (ms 6), Macaulay papers (ms 78), Russell family papers (ms 75), and Simcoe papers (ms 517). The printed selections from the last two collections, Corr. of Hon. Peter Russell (Cruikshank and Hunter) and Corr. of Lieut. Governor Simcoe (Cruikshank), are helpful for his early career, as is Gwillim, Diary of Mrs. Simcoe (Robertson; 1934). Two other collections of documents, Town of York, 1793–1815 and 1815–34 (Firth) and Strachan, Letter book (Spragge), are less rich but contain later material. An obituary notice by his nephew appeared in the Patriot (Toronto), 20 Jan. 1835. s.r.m.]

Title of Article: McGILL, JOHN


My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes eight months ago. One month ago, they checked her kidney function and HbA1c. The HbA1c is 6.7, but the uric acid in blood was exorbitant - 485. Yesterday, we checked it again and the result was 517. Except for the uric acid, the other testing index was normal. By the way, last year, when newly diagnosed, her uric acid level was 175. Diet did not change much after illness. What should we do?
This is very unusual. We do not usually see uric acid elevations associated with type 1 diabetes. Sometimes, with obesity-related type 2 diabetes in adults, or occasionally in children/adolescents, uric acid elevations are also present. In any case, you should discuss this with your diabetes team and if it stays elevated, a medication called allopurinol should be readily available and easy to correct the situation.

Q: JQuery Datatables disable/remove row count options depending on number of records By default, datatables has 4 sizes of records to show: 10,25,50,100.
All the option are available by default no matter how many records in table.
If table has 18 entries is there any option to disable or remove 50 and 100 from the dropdown.
or if disable row count if records are less than 10.
I can't find either of these in the documentation.

A: You modify the length menu by the aLengthMenu setting
$('#example').dataTable({
   aLengthMenu : [5, 10, 25, 50]
});

To dynamically change the menu, you must access the generated <select> box in code. It has a name, which always is table id + _length, so a table with the id example will have a length menu with the name example_length
Here an example, dynamically changing the length menu to hold 5 and 10 only
var dataTable = $('#example').dataTable();
var newLength = [5, 10];
var aLengthMenu = $('select[name=example_length]');
$(aLengthMenu).find('option').remove();
for (var i=0;i<newLength.length;i++) {
  $(aLengthMenu).append('<option value="'+newLength[i]+'">'+newLength[i]+'</option>');
}

To disable the menu, simply add the disabled attribute
$(aLengthMenu).prop('disabled', 'disabled');

The Abridged Encyclopedia of Chloe Kim's Food Tweets
Chloe Kim had some time to kill and did what any bored teenager might do: She pulled out her phone, went on Twitter and informed the world that she wished she'd finished her breakfast sandwich because she was getting hangry. And then she won an Olympic gold medal.
Kim is a brilliant snowboarder. She's a better tweeter.
On Monday morning, between her halfpipe runs, Kim tweeted:

She did it again on Tuesday morning right before winning her first gold medal. Let's repeat that because it may be the first time in the history of the Olympics that anyone has written the following sentence: She tweeted about breakfast sandwiches while competing.
Here's an incomplete sampling of Kim's other tweets over the years about her diet:

What You Need to Know Monday
WEATHER DISRUPTION: Kim Jong Un gets all the headlines, but it's high winds in the mountains that are really disrupting these Olympics. Windy conditions postponed the men's downhill on Sunday, then on Monday did the same to the women's giant slalom. The latter snafu delayed the debut of star American skier Mikaela Shiffrin until the slalom on Wednesday (Tuesday night in the U.S.). But officials pressed on with the women's slopestyle snowboarding event, prompting complaints from riders that they were being treated like second-class citizens compared to the Alpine skiers. If weather permits, skiing events will finally get under way during U.S. prime time this evening with the men's Alpine combined.
FIGURE SKATING: The U.S. captured a bronze medal in the team figure skating event, which saw Canada snatch the gold medal away from Olympic Athletes from Russia, who took silver. The U.S. was buoyed by an assured performance from Adam Rippon—the outspoken, openly gay skater who is in a public tangle with Vice President Mike Pence—which helped the American team overcome a shaky short-program by teammate Nathan Chen earlier in the competition.

Chloe Kim's Moment Is Now

Early each morning before elementary school at La Palma Christian School in Orange County, Calif., Chloe Kim would climb onto a trampoline in her nearby yard and practice jumps and flips.
"I mean, every morning," recalled Karen Bland, La Palma's director of school. "We would walk over and yell, 'Good morning, Chloe!'"
A mere decade later, at age 17, Kim will jump and flip through the Pyeongchang Olympic halfpipe in Tuesday's finals as the gold-medal favorite. She'll be performing not only for Team USA but in South Korea, where her parents are from and where she still has a grandmother, aunts and cousins.
"It's so cool being here," Kim told reporters last week. "Competing in my first Olympics in the country where my parents came from is pretty insane. I'm feeling nothing but excitement. It should be a fun ride."
Kim was 13 years old during the 2014 Olympics--too young to compete under international rules. But she was already becoming a force in her sport.
At the 2016 U.S. Grand Prix, at age 15, she became the first woman to land back-to-back 1080s, three-revolution spins, and scored a rare perfect 100. Kim has won four gold medals at the Winter X Games, including one in January.
"I feel like I'm scared a lot of the time, when I'm dropping in," Kim said of the potential dangers of the 22-foot-high halfpipe. She says she thinks, "this could happen, that could happen."
But her social-media streams show a young woman comfortable in her ability.
"Could be down for some ice cream rn," Kim tweeted Tuesday afternoon local time. When a follower tweeted at her, "Aren't you competing right now?" she replied, "yes"
It was the halfpipe's qualifying rounds.
Kim's top competition in the final will be China's Liu Jiayu and Japan's Matsumoto Haruna, along with U.S. teammates Maddie Mastro and Kelly Clark. The 34-year-old Clark is the most decorated snowboard Olympian ever with three medals, including bronze in Sochi 2014. She's also a longtime role model of Kim's.

American Jamie Anderson Wins Gold in Snowboard Slopestyle

As Jamie Anderson prepared to make her second and final run in the women's snowboard slopestyle contest Monday, she had a reason to feel relieved. She had already won the gold medal.
Last in the starting order, having taken the lead with a high score of 83 out of a possible 100 on the first run, the American watched as 25 other riders tried and failed to knock her from her perch atop the leaderboard. Her second run turned into a victory lap, as she celebrated her second consecutive gold medal in the event.
Four years after her win at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, the 27-year-old from California gave the U.S. its second gold medal in as many days at Phoenix Snow Park. Red Gerard won the men's slopestyle event on Sunday.
Finishing just behind Anderson on Monday were Laurie Blouin of Canada for the silver medal and Enni Rukajarvi of Finland for bronze.
The women's slopestyle contest was supposed to be split over two days, with a field of 26 being whittled to 12 in a Sunday qualifier. But strong winds forced the cancellation of qualifying. As a result, instead of 12 riders having three runs Monday, with the best score counting, 26 had riders had two runs.
With the temperature in the low teens, strong winds were again an issue. The start of the final was delayed an hour, and several riders crashed on their first runs. For one of the pinnacles of the sport, it was an ugly display of snowboarding.
Anderson was last up, and on her first try she pulled off a relatively safe but sound run that put her atop the field as the second runs began.

Shiffrin's Schedule Shuffled
The women's Alpine skiing giant slalom was rescheduled from Monday local time to Thursday because of high winds. That means Mikaela Shiffrin, one of Team USA's best hopes for multiple medals, could get to race her strongest event first.
The slalom, in which she is defending Olympic gold medalist, is scheduled for Wednesday in Pyeongchang. If the current schedule holds, she would race the slalom, then the giant slalom Thursday.
Another way to look at it: Shiffrin won't get a rest day between races.
"It's a bummer that we're not able to race today," Shiffrin said in a statement. "But with the training block I've had, I'm prepared and feeling good. I'll use this time to continue to train and refocus on Wednesday's slalom race."
She could race as many as all five of the individual Alpine skiing events at these Games.

What You Need to Know Sunday
This year's U.S. Olympic team is among the oldest ever, with an average age of 27. But it was one of the team's youngest members -- 17-year-old Red Gerard, born in 2000 -- who delivered America's first gold medal early Sunday with a win in the men's slopestyle. The laconic Colorado teenager used a star-making third run to became the youngest American snowboarder to win an Olympic medal. He declared himself "mind-blown."
American Alpine skiing sensation Mikaela Shiffrin begins her expectations-laden Olympics in Sunday night's prime-time NBC broadcast with the women's giant slalom, in which she is favored to win the gold medal. The men's downhill, postponed late Saturday Eastern time because of high winds, is now rescheduled for Wednesday night Eastern time.
North Korea's surprise invitation to South Korea for a Pyongyang summit meeting was the big political news of the weekend. But late Saturday the spotlight was swiped by theNorth Korea cheerleading squad, about 100 strong, which piled into short-track speedskating and women's hockey events where North Korean athletes played with high-energy synchronized routines. The cheerleaders' relentlessly upbeat Korean-unification chants didn't do much to lift the combined Korean women's hockey team, which was routed 8-0 by Switzerland. The North Korean press credited the cheerleaders with unifying the crowd, though it neglected to mention the final score of the game.

Abrams Buys the Overlook Press
Abrams has bought the Overlook Press, which was founded in 1971 by Alfred Mayer and his son Peter Mayer, who died in May; Peter Mayer had also been head of Penguin for nearly 20 years and head of Duckworth Press. The Overlook Press specializes in out-of-print fiction and nonfiction titles and has 1,300 active titles.
"In 1971, my father and grandfather founded the Overlook Press with a vision for a truly independent publishing house that would put out an eclectic list of vital but overlooked books," Liese Mayer said. "Nearly half a century later, my father was deeply gratified and reassured to know that the legacy he had built with so much labor and love would continue under the direction of his trusted colleague and friend Michael Jacobs. I believe that this will be a wonderful new chapter."
Abrams president and CEO Michael Jacobs commented: "Acquiring the Overlook Press' nearly 50 years of publishing tasteful, interesting, and literary books and authors is a good strategic fit for us at this point in our evolution. We recently launched our narrative nonfiction imprint, Abrams Press, and it's become apparent that having a backlist and some publishing ballast to build upon makes our task both easier and more fun. I'm confident that the assets--books, authors, and the vision that Peter built at the Overlook Press--will give us myriad opportunities to leverage our text-driven growth strategy at Abrams. Plus, we'll begin to publish fiction, drama, and other narrative forms that complement our existing adult and children's publishing programs."
Beginning this month, Abrams will handle all aspects of the publishing, marketing, and business operations for the Overlook Press's books, including its forthcoming titles. Several employees from the Overlook Press, including longtime associate publisher Tracy Carns, will join Abrams. Sales and distribution of the Overlook Press will be handled by Abrams as soon as existing contractual obligations expire.
The Overlook Press publishes 40 new titles a year, including fiction--literary, commercial, and in translation--history, biography, film and pop culture, music, popular science, sociology, food, art, and drama. Authors include Charles Portis, Mark Helprin, Robert Littell, Susan Hill, Edward Albee, Neil LaBute, Mervyn Peake, Joseph Roth and Milton Glaser.
The Overlook Press also publishes the Collector's Wodehouse, comprising 99 P.G. Wodehouse titles in fine editions, and Walter R. Brooks's Freddy the Pig series of children's books. Overlook imprints include Ardis, a list of titles of Russian literature, history, culture, and criticism.
With No Buyer, DIESEL in Larkspur, Calif., to Close
The branch of DIESEL: a bookstore in Larkspur, Calif., which has been for sale since April, is closing. "Though the store is beautiful and widely praised with loyal and appreciative readers... we have been unable to find a buyer to steward it into the future," owners John Evans and Alison Reid said in an e-mail to customers last night.
When they put the store up for sale, Evans and Reid explained that after 15 years of regularly commuting 400 miles, they have decided to live in Southern California full-time and focus on their other store, in Brentwood.
Evans and Reid opened the 2,800-square-foot Larkspur store in 2013 in the Marin Country Market, a development that has had a bookstore in it--for much of the time before DIESEL it was a branch of A Clean Well-Lighted Place--since 1978. Developer James Rosenfield, who also owns the building in which DIESEL's Brentwood store is located, remodeled the development and is seeking another bookstore to take DIESEL's place, Evans said. The location has a lot of potential, several people have said: the shopping center is establishing itself, and the SMART train (Sonoma-Marin Area Rapid Transit) is arriving next year.
DIESEL in Larkspur is beginning a moving sale with a 25% discount. ("It's a moving sale, not a closing sale," Evans said. "Because we're moving on--moving down south.") The pair will keep the store for an indeterminate time, probably several months, to sell the stock. "All these books want a home," Evans commented. "Just faster than planned."
In the announcement last night, they wrote, in part: "We want to thank you for all of your support and appreciation for the particular ways in which we've served readers in Marin. The beauty of the store itself, the deep and rich selection of books, and the friendly and expert booksellers have been much commented upon and respected by book lovers."
Reid and Evans founded DIESEL in Oakland in 1989. They sold the original store to manager Brad Johnson last year.
Indies Eye Revival of Canadian Booksellers Association
A group of Canadian independent bookstore owners are exploring the possibility of resurrecting the defunct Canadian Booksellers Association, which "operated for more than 60 years before it joined the Retail Council of Canada in 2012," Quill & Quire reported.
While the RCC offers booksellers certain benefits, former CBA members said it isn't meeting the unique needs of bookstores. "Without a unified approach, we became a voice in the wind," said Cathy Jesson, president of B.C. chain Black Bond Books and a member of the new CBA steering committee. "The RCC experiment wasn't what we needed--we were just a tiny voice in that huge organization. I think we lost our identity as Canadian independent booksellers."
The steering committee includes 10 members from across the country, according to Jesson, who said they are working on securing financing and seed money as well as spreading the word to other bookstore owners. There is no time frame in place for an official relaunch yet, though the plan is to ultimately hire a full-time administrator.
The idea to consider reforming the CBA began last year at a Bookmanager Academy event in Kelowna, B.C., where participants lamented the loss of networking and advocacy opportunities. "We missed each other," recalled Shelley Macbeth, owner of Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge, Ont., adding that running a store is "very isolating--and who is going to understand what's going on better than other booksellers?"
The goal for the new CBA "will be to create a strong advocacy voice at various levels of government, with the goal of taking on issues like shipping costs or Amazon's outsized influence in the marketplace," Quill & Quire wrote. The original CBA included nearly 1,800 bookstores among its membership in the early 2000s and held an annual convention.
Eleanor LeFave, owner of Mabel's Fables children's bookstore in Toronto, said joining the RCC had made the most sense at the time of the CBA's demise: "They're very successful with government relations, which is something the CBA could barely tackle." She would consider rejoining the CBA should it reform, but cautioned: "Advocacy is a big part of being an association and I don't know that they would have enough funding to work on all [the issues facing independent bookstore owners]."
David Worsley, co-owner of Words Worth Books in Waterloo, Ont., said a new CBA "would be most welcome," especially now that the financial upheavals of the past decade have eased somewhat for booksellers. "There's now a foundation for most indie bookstores to start planning again--maybe we can try things, take risks, afford to make a mistake or two. Now is the perfect time to take a step into a group that could advocate on our behalf on everything from terms with our suppliers to 'shop local' campaigns to access to government. It would be wonderful to see someone who could pick up the ball and run with it."
Back of Beyond Books Launches Publishing Program, Crowdfunding Campaign
In time for the 50th anniversary of Edward Abbey's environmental classic Desert Solitaire, Back of Beyond Books in Moab, Utah, has launched three different publishing projects to release work that both celebrates and interrogates Desert Solitaire. To help fund those projects, store owner Andy Nettell has also launched a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of $15,000 and a duration of 30 days.
In November, Back of Beyond will publish Amy Irvine's Desert Cabal: A New Season in the Wilderness in conjunction with Torrey House Press. In Desert Cabal, Irvine not only celebrates Abbey's work and the influence it had on her life, but also challenges many of the dated and even sexist ideas within it.
The store will also be publishing a limited-run facsimile of the first draft of Desert Solitaire, featuring "hundreds of manuscript changes" in Edward Abbey's own hand; only 50 sets will be available. And in partnership with Ken Sanders of Ken Sanders Rare Books, Back of Beyond will release four Desert Solitaire-themed "literary letterpress broadsides" featuring original work from writers Doug Peacock, Wendell Berry, Terry Tempest Williams and Amy Irvine.
"I'm so excited about these three publications," said Nettell. "But it is a little scary, too. Even though I've been in the book trade for 18 years, we've never published a book and I really had no idea how expensive books and publications are to publish."
Abbey's Desert Solitaire has been the bestselling book at Back of Beyond throughout its 29 years of existence. Abbey himself worked as a ranger at nearby Arches National Monument for two seasons in the 1950s, and the journal he kept during that time would later grow into Desert Solitaire.
NYRF Moving to Javits Center for BookExpo 2019
BookExpo and the New York Rights Fair will run concurrently next year and will be co-located at the Javits Center in Manhattan. For 2018, BookExpo's Rights Center had moved to NYRF's location at the Metropolitan Pavilion on W. 18th St.
BookExpo and NYRF are scheduled for May 29-31, 2019, with BookCon taking place on June 1-2. NYRF will continue to be organized as a separate rights fair and will also serve as the International Rights Center at BookExpo, hosted in the Javits Center's River Pavilion.
The selection of Javits Center as the venue follows news of a multiyear agreement between the two entities, announced in June, for the joint management of NYRF, formalizing the parties' strategic vision for the future of the shows. The decision to co-locate in 2019 "fosters the relationship between and among domestic and international publishers, agents and authors," they noted in a statement.
"For the New York publishing houses and their international counterparts, having an easy, efficient central hub in which to meet will magnify the business opportunities that BookExpo and New York Rights Fair seek to encourage," said NYRF president George Slowik, Jr.
Ed Several, BookExpo senior v-p, commented: "Books are driving some of the most successful content for film and streaming platforms. We are excited to be working with New York Rights Fair to meet the needs of our domestic and international publishers in the heart of New York City, the publishing hub of the world. With this valuable addition, the reimagined BookExpo will be able to deliver a holistic platform to launch the hottest new titles and authors, feature cutting-edge trends and impact every part of our customers' businesses. This industry is vibrant and growing and we look forward to building an event together to support and celebrate that."
Applications Open for Carla Gray Memorial Scholarship
Applications are now open for the Carla Gray Memorial Scholarship for Emerging Bookseller-Activists. Created in honor of Carla Gray, the executive marketing director at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt who passed away suddenly in May 2017, the scholarship will send a bookseller to both Winter Institute and their regional trade show in 2019 and also provide a grant of up to $1,000 for creating a community outreach program at their store.
The scholarship will be awarded annually to a bookseller with at least one year but fewer than five years of experience in the industry and who has never attended a trade show or American Booksellers Association-sponsored event. To be eligible, applicants must be a regular part-time or full-time employee of a store in good standing with the ABA and one of the regional booksellers associations. The application includes a series of questions "outlining their community outreach program and the impact they hope to achieve."
Applications will be open from August 1 until October 9. Once applications close, a review committee consisting of the Friends of Carla Gray committee, author Justin Torres, Papercuts J.P. owner Kate Layte, Michael Taeckens of Broadside Expert Literary PR, and a Binc representative will choose a winner.
Organized by the Friends of Carla Gray committee and managed by the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, the memorial scholarship was officially launched in late May, on the one-year anniversary of Carla Gray's death. Hannah Harlow, Jenna Johnson and MaryBeth Long created the Friends of Carla Gray committee shortly after Gray's death and have been raising funds toward the scholarship since.
Image of the Day: A Grand Poetry Slam
Tuesday night, booksellers from Open Book: A Poem Emporium, Seattle, and Island Books, Mercer Island, took a break from the recent heatwave for a night of poetry at a Mariners game.
Norton rep Dan Christiaens supplied copies of Norton backlist title Baseball Haiku, and between innings everyone enjoyed poetry and spontaneous haikus. James Crossley provided this one:
"A broomstick thunders
And scorches the third base line
Winning runs come home"
(Mariners won 2-0 and moved a game closer to first place.)
Indie Booksellers Judge Books by Their Covers
McLean & Eakin's sidewalk sale
In its e-newsletter this week, McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey, Mich., featured a confession we can all sympathize with: "Last weekend was sidewalk sales, and I'm fried. I did catch one gem under the tent outside though. I overheard a preteen (11-13-ish) say, 'Why do they tell you not to judge a book by its cover? I mean, these are covers. And you have to look at them. And then you decide to pick them up or not.' I leaned over and told her the dirty little secret of the book world is that we do, indeed judge books by their covers. I've probably said it before, but I'll say it again, the book publishing industry spends a lot of money on marketing... and guess what they are marketing? Not books. Not at first. First they have to show you the cover. Then. Then they tell you about the book. Look at any advertising campaign for a book, and I would be very surprised to find out that there was not a book cover included in the promotion. Even the New York Times Book Review, which has its own art, includes the cover of the book off on the sidebar of each recommendation. Take it from us, judging a book by its cover is sometimes the way to go...."
Bookshop Window Display of the Day: Country Bookshelf
From Jessica Hahl, event coordinator at Country Bookshelf in Bozeman, Mont.: "We've been in the over-heated grump of late summer, and bookseller Harry Jahnke crafted this window display to snap us out of it!" The sign reads: "Have a killer summer."
B&N: Best Bookstore in Fairbanks, Alaska
For the second year in a row, Barnes & Noble has won the News-Miner's Reader's Choice award for best bookstore in Fairbanks, Alaska. The paper called the store "more than just a place to buy books" and quoted B&N community business development manager Nicole Galagan, who said, "We really want to be a destination where families and friends can hang out. A place where you can come and grab a coffee, meet with a friend, use our free WiFi." The store also features a large fireplace with many chairs near it, and what the staff calls "the endless bookshelf."
The News-Miner noted, too, that B&N has given back to the community, "attempting to increase literacy and education throughout the state. The store has given more than $80,000 back to the community in the last 2 1/2 years through book fair fundraising programs, along with supporting schools all the way up to the North Slope with textbooks and curriculum."

Reading with... RaeAnne Thayne

RaeAnne Thayne is the author of more than 40 published titles. Her novels have won many honors, including four RITA Award nominations from the Romance Writers of America and a Career Achievement Award from RT Book Reviews. She lives with her husband and their children in the mountains of northern Utah. The latest installments in her Haven Point series are The Cottages on Silver Beach (HQN Books, June 19, 2018) and Season of Wonder (HQN Books, September 25, 2018).
I'm reading at least four different books. At the top of the pile is Map of the Heart by Susan Wiggs. She writes truly beautiful stories. Also Tangerine by Christine Mangan, because I've visited Morocco and loved it; Too Wilde to Wed by Eloisa James; and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. Oh, and I'm listening to A Conspiracy in Belgravia, Sherry Thomas's delicious take on the Sherlock Holmes books.
I adored Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery and read it every year from around age nine until past college age. The book still charms me when I re-read it. What's not to love? It features a sweetly blooming romance as well as a plucky heroine with a vivid imagination who loves to read.
I always struggle with this question because I'm developing new favorites all the time. I can't really choose my top five, but I can name five authors who have profoundly impacted my life. J.K. Rowling has had a deep and meaningful role in my life and my children's. We have forged cherished memories, discovering the adventure and magic of the Harry Potter books together. Other favorites who move me every time I read their books include Kristan Higgins, Robyn Carr, Jill Shalvis and Sarah Morgan. I still pinch myself to think that I can also call them friends!
Jane Eyre. Sorry to the diehard Charlotte Brontë lovers, but I could never get into it.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, which somehow managed to be heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I've bought copies for friends, spoken about it during writing workshops and read it myself multiple times.
I don't believe I've ever purchased a book purely because of an appealing cover. I can say sometimes a beautiful cover on a book by an unknown-to-me author will prompt me to pick it up and read the blurb. If the blurb catches my eye, then I'll buy it, but not from the cover alone. The cover might tease me into looking at it, but if the blurb doesn't suck me in, I'll set the book down again.
Book you hid from your parents:
Nothing. I never had to. My mom was a voracious reader and encouraged me and my siblings to read widely and constantly.
The very first romance novel I ever read was The Enchanted Land by Jude Deveraux. I fell in love with the hope and joy of the genre and also the power of story, which led me first to a career in journalism and later to pick up a pen and start writing the kind of stories I love best.
"It was hell being a hero." This is the opening line of Seize the Fire by the incomparable Laura Kinsale.
Five books you'll never part with:
This one is hard to answer, as I have hundreds of books I can't bear to let go. My bookshelves are overflowing (into my office next door, too!). Books I read again and again (and own several versions of) include the Simply Quartet by Mary Balogh, several Georgette Heyer titles, the In Death series by J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts and anything by Loretta Chase.
Pride and Prejudice. I read it first in a high school AP English class and actually found it boring, likely because I was so worried about book reports and exams, and trying to find the subtext (and because I probably wanted to get back to the delicious Elizabeth Peters mystery I had tucked in my backpack!). I would love to read it for the first time now, when I can truly appreciate it.
Children's Review: Dactyl Hill Squad
Dactyl Hill Squad by Daniel José Older (Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic, $16.99 hardcover, 272p., ages 8-12, 9781338268812, September 11, 2018)
Daniel José Older makes his middle-grade debut with Dactyl Hill Squad, a Civil War-era historical fantasy--with dinosaurs.
Twelve-year-old Magdalys Roca lives in the Colored Orphan Asylum in New York City. Originally from Cuba, Magdalys and her older siblings were all dropped at the orphanage when Magdalys "was just a baby." She doesn't remember the man who left them there, and, in truth, she doesn't remember her sisters very well, either. She recalls "Julissa and Celia spoke Spanish to her and combed her hair and said her name like a song." But when Magdalys was four, a "mustached man... appeared and took Julissa and Celia back to Cuba with no explanation." And now, brother Montez is gone, too. It's been "six weeks and two days" since he decided to fight the Confederates and enlisted in the Union Army's "dinoriding division." Magdalys misses Montez and is scared for him--the Union Army "draft offices started drawing names out of a tumbler," conscripting "[w]hite folks," which means the war effort isn't going well. It also means that there "could be some backlash," specifically against black New Yorkers like Magdalys and her fellow orphans Two Step, Mapper, Little Sabeen and Amaya.
On this July 1863 evening, the children of the Colored Orphan Asylum head out on the orphanage's "huge old triceratops," Varney, to see a performance at the "only all-black Shakespearean company in New York." When the group is stopped mid-trip by the white Magistrate Riker, supposedly to make sure the children aren't "fugitive slaves," Magdalys's fear and anxiety make her wish Varney would take evasive maneuvers--which he immediately does. Magdalys, it turns out, can talk to dinos. And she learns this not a moment too soon.
The group escapes the Magistrate and arrives at the play--but hooded white folks on raptors are rioting and setting the city on fire, including the theater, and attacking black citizens. Unsurprisingly, the Magistrate is among the hooded rioters, no doubt working with the Kidnapping Club to steal free black children and sell them into slavery. Magdalys's newly discovered ability comes in handy when she steals a brachy from the fire brigade and brings it to the orphans' rescue.
They flee, only to discover that the orphanage has been burned down and the other orphans kidnapped. With nowhere else to go, the children end up at a refuge in Dactyl Hill (Brooklyn) where adult men and women of color work together as a Vigilance Committee, fighting the Kidnapping Club and Magistrate Riker whenever they can. Magdalys and her fellow orphans begin working with and for the Committee, becoming freedom fighters themselves.
Dactyl Hill Squad has everything a reader could possibly want in a middle-grade book: action, adventure, magic, humor and dinosaurs. Magdalys is the same kind of young, engaging and flawed protagonist as Philip Pullman's Lyra--a character readers can't help but love even when (especially because) she's frustrating. An entertaining and wholly fulfilling series opener. --Siân Gaetano, children's and YA editor, Shelf Awareness

RDN News
Community climate change volunteer program coming to the RDN
The Agents of Change Project builds volunteer engagement programs in communities across Canada to support residents taking action to build climate resilience and reduce local greenhouse gas emissions, according to a joint media release by the RDN and the City of Nanaimo.
The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) will form a climate change community volunteer program.
Through the project, the RDN and the City of Nanaimo will work together with International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) experts to develop an action-oriented volunteer engagement program that will support community emission reduction goals across the region.
ICLEI Canada is contributing $15,000 towards the development of the region-wide volunteer program. The project is also being funded by the federal government and will run until March 2023, with the volunteer program expected to launch this coming fall or winter, according to the release.
"The RDN is committed to building regional climate action by working with our municipal partners and engaging our residents. We are keen to get started on this new initiative with the City of Nanaimo that promises to be a longterm catalyst for local climate action," said Tyler Brown, RDN chair.
The application to participate in the Agents of Change program was supported by several local volunteer groups including the Nanaimo Climate Action Hub, Nanaimo Green Faith Circle, First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo, Nature Nanaimo and the Mid-Vancouver Island Electric Vehicle Association.
The RDN said it has committed to reducing community greenhouse gas emissions to 80 per cent below 2007 levels by 2050. These targets are included in the RDN's official community plans and the Regional Growth Strategy policy.
The project will be included as part of the RDN's community outreach strategy, helping it to achieve these goals and the recommendations of the RDN's Climate Action Technical Advisory Committee.
The RDN also has several programs available to residents and community groups who are taking direct action on climate change. These include green building and water stewardship rebates, green building outreach, water stewardship programs and wildfire risk reduction programs.

Puerto Rico residents continuing to recover from 2017's hurricanes could be eligible for increased nutrition assistance funded by Congress and provided through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This temporary assistance will be distributed through Puerto Rico's Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP) beginning as early as August. NAP is administered by USDA and is operated by the Commonwealth's Department of the Family.
The new grant reflects active collaboration over the last month between USDA and Puerto Rico to implement the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019, signed by the President on June 6. Since then, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) staff have been available on-site to help Puerto Rico amend its nutrition assistance plan, as required to distribute NAP funding. On July 2, Puerto Rico officials completed changes outlining how they will deliver disaster benefits and protect integrity. USDA's approval today will launch $600 million in new benefits to help Puerto Rico residents feed their families, as the recovery continues.
"Our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico are still dealing with challenges caused by the severe damage that multiple hurricanes caused to the island's economy and infrastructure," said Acting Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Brandon Lipps. "Congress has provided this supplemental funding, and we are committed to working with local officials to support Puerto Rico's recovery by providing the vital nutrition assistance families need as they rebuild and restore their communities."
Unlike the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), NAP is a block grant with a set amount of funding annually, and the program must operate within that amount. The funding announced today will augment the assistance available through NAP, in recognition of the sustained economic disruption faced by the island. Puerto Rico plans to provide a supplemental benefit to all households that participate in NAP over the next 12 months. The announcement is the latest in a series of USDA actions to help residents affected by disaster, which also include authorizing flexibilities in school meals, providing nutritious USDA Foods for the Disaster Household Distribution program, and authorizing flexibilities in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) to ensure that this vital program remained accessible.
FNS administers 15 nutrition assistance programs, including the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Summer Food Service Program, WIC, and SNAP, which together comprise America's nutrition safety net. For more information on FNS assistance during times of disaster, visit www.fns.usda.gov/disaster.
