One Liner Review:
A pretty cool horror movie about a family being terrorized by a very unusual being.
Brief Review:
Here's a creative litter gem of a horror movie. The premise, about an evil spirit that haunts a house, is familiar enough. But it's the characters who give this movie that extra edge that most horror films are missing. The hero is a little boy with an Australian accent who makes weapons to take the spirit down, in his spare time. And when a book shows up on his shelf, filled with a truly frightening story and some crazy images, the thrills really begin. The movie gets a little too unstable by the ending, but for most of the way through, it's a lot of fun.
The Babadook is a fun movie. It's an Australian horror film, and in many ways it's similar to other movies in the genre that we've seen before. There's a strange creature making noises and slamming doors in the house, and there are even moments when the creature posses some of our characters. But what makes this movie special is the unique Australian tone, and way that it is set around the life of a very creative boy who discovers the legend of the Babadook and doesn't want to let it go.
Sam is an unusual boy from the very beginning. He lives with his mom, Amelia, and never met his father, (who dies while driving Amelia to the hospital, when she was delivering Sam.) He's a boy who makes strange weapons and then brings them to school. This, of course, gets him into a bit of trouble. Sam is having issues and it is mother who has to take the brunt of it, being called into school to meet about his behavior, and not being able to get any sleep unless Sam is asleep too.
One night when Amelia asks Sam to pick out a book for her to read, he brings her a large picture book called Mr. Babadook. The book is a pop up and tells a disturbing story about a family who the Babadook comes to visit. The pictures are vivid and artistic and are all done with a black and white charcoal color. When Amelia asks Sam where he got the book, he insists it cane from the shelf with all of his other books. And so the two of them go on their way.
Amelia takes Sam to the birthday party of her niece. Sam goes up into the treehouse with the girls where the niece goes on a teasing rampage about how Sam doesn't have a father. This prompts Sam to push her out of the treehouse, where she breaks her nose. It also leads to Amelia's sister telling her how much she hates Sam and that the reason they've been so distant isn't because she doesn't like Amelia, it's because she doesn't like Sam.
At this point, Amelia is pretty down on Sam, and feeling awful about her son. And then it gets worse. On the way back home, while in the car, Sam has a seizure. He is taken to the hospital, and the only good thing to come out of this is that Amelia is able to get sedatives from a doctor so that she can actually fall asleep. Sam gets treated and comes back home, and things seem like they might start to get a little better. But then the book shows up again.
After reading it the first time, Amelia tore the book up and threw it away. Now it is all taped back together, and on top of that, there are new pages which have been added. One shows Amelia (or a woman who looks like her,) killing their dog. Another shows her holding a knife at Sam, (a boy.) Amelia can't believe it. This must be some kind of sick prank. She burns the book and then goes to the police.
The problem is, when she gets to the police station, she has no evidence. Without the book, this entire story seems like it just might be in her head. The police tell her that and show signs of not believing her, but what really throws Amelia off is that the jackets hanging up in the precinct office are similar to those worn by Mr. Babadook in the book. Amelia takes this to mean that the police are working with The Babadook, and she runs away.
Back home, The Babadook now comes out at full force. He slams doors and makes noises at night, and his voice rattles in the air, saying "Baa Baa Baa Dook Dook Dook.) It's kind of funny, but also plenty creepy. And he causes Amelia to have visions of her husband, who seems to be working with or for Mr. Babadook. He tells Amelia that he will come back to live with her again if she just brings him the boy. But Amelia doesn't have the chance to even think for herself, whether or not she believes her husband, and these visions. The Babadook takes possession of her before she even has a chance.
And now comes our climax, where Sam faces off against he mom, who is possessed by the evil spirit. He comes at her with all sorts of homemade weapons, and ends up not using any of them. He finds another way. And that leads us to the ending, which is as strange and oddly funny as most of the other parts here. This is a very dark, black comedy, and the ending does not disappoint.
The Babadook is a movie, like some of Taika Waititi's New Zealand films, that really benefits from the accents of its characters. Just hearing this boy and his mother talk about the Babadook is hilarious, with Sam believing that everything that goes wrong in the house is caused by this evil spirit from the book. Sure, the premise isn't anything all that unique, but the way it is handled here is superb. This movie finds a way to get creative while tackling familiar territory, and it definitely pays off.

The administrator of Kiremba and his deputy in charge of the sport were locked up for "conspiracy against the head of the State" at the end of last week.
Their fault: having "allowed" President Pierre Nkurunziza to be physically abused during a football match that took place on February 3 in the commune in northern Burundi.
We do not laugh with Pierre Nkunrunziza's shins.
On February 3, the president's team, Alleluia FC, face the Kiremba club.
Kiremba, for the occasion, recruited some players among the Congolese refugees from the Musasa camp.
The Congolese, a lèse-majesté crime, repeatedly attacked Pierre Nkurunziza, who was then shot in the foot, and even dropped him.
The administrator of Kiremba, Cyriaque Nkézabahizi, and his deputy in charge of sport, Michel Mutama, were therefore imprisoned for "conspiracy against the head of state" late last week.
They were imprisoned in Ngozi Prison, 130 km north of Bujumbura.
The rules are known to all: when the president is in possession of the ball, no opponent must approach him within three meters.
And he must score a goal, or at least be at the origin of a decisive action.
But Congolese footballers did not know these good manners.
On the pitch, the order is clear: the opposing team can equalize against Alleluia FC, but it must absolutely let the president score before the final whistle.
For Nkunrunziza, the round ball is a religion, he spends half of his time there.
In 2015, while some streets of the capital are littered with corpses , he runs after a balloon.

Farmworkers Fight Abuse - and Win
Students learn about and discuss the remarkable success of an organization of farmworkers that is fighting abuse and demanding dignity on the job. The activity includes two short videos, discussion, and a reading.
Invite students to stand up if the following statements apply to them. If your students are differently abled, consider doing this activity by inviting students to raise their hand or find another way for all students to be able to participate in this activity.
After each statement, invite students who have stood up to share what they know about each statement.
Your family cooks with and eats tomatoes
You've ever thought about how those tomatoes (or other produce) make their way to your kitchen
You know Florida is the nation's largest producer of fresh tomatoes
You are familiar with the #MeToo movement
You have ever seen a "fair food" label on the food that comes into your house
You have heard the term "modern slavery" used in connection with migrant farm workers in the US
You have heard of Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida
Ask students if they know how all these statements are connected?
Explain that in today's lesson we'll be looking at the plight of immigrant farm workers in Immokalee, an impoverished farm town in southern Florida that has, for decades, been a leading producer of fresh market tomatoes in the United States. Immigrant farm workers often work under horrific conditions. This was most certainly the case in Immokalee before the Coalition of Immokalee Workers set out to change that.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is a worker-based human rights organization that has been internationally recognized for its efforts to promote social responsibility and stop human trafficking and gender-based violence at work. It began in 1993 as a group of farmworkers organizing to improve their conditions. In 2000, this organizing was reinforced with the creation of a national consumer network of people concerned about the conditions under which their food is produced. Since then, CIW's work has steadily grown, and includes addressing worker conditions and worker rights not only in Florida, but in states including Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey.
Today's lesson will focus on the organization's Fair Food Program, launched in 2011.

The Fair Food Program:
Combatting Workplace Abuse
Line up the first video, CNN's "Freedom Project - Ending Modern-Day Slavery," about the Fair Food Program. Explain that the video can be broken up into two parts. Part 1 tells the story of migrant farmworker Alexandrina and the abuse of farmworkers. Part 2 talks about the work of the Fair Food Program in Immokalee to combat abuses in agriculture. Ask students to take notes about what stands out for them in both parts of the video.
Video 1 - The Fair Food Program:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpKMHIUkPQk
After watching the video, ask students to turn to a neighbor to discuss their thoughts and feelings about it. What stood out for them? How did they feel about it?
Next bring students back together and open up the discussion as a full group. Ask students to share what stood out for them about the video. Continue the discussion using some or all of the following questions:
What does Alexandrina's life look like today?
What does she say about her job? Was it always like this?
How is her story connected to the #MeToo movement?
Do you think her story is unique for women farmworkers? Why or why not?
How many women farmworkers have we heard speak out as part of the #MeToo movement? Why do you think that is? Why have their stories not been highlighted?
What does Jon Esformes say about agricultural workers, farming, and opportunities for abuse?
What has he done to combat that?
What does the video say about the Fair Food Program created by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers?
Why does the video say the Fair Food Program works?
Who is involved with the Food Program? Why is that important?
What does each of the parties stand to gain from being involved?
How can we as consumers support this movement?
Fighting Modern Day Slavery on Florida Farms
Line up another video from the same CNN Freedom Project series. This one is called Fighting Modern Day Slavery on Florida Farms. Explain that this video focuses specifically on the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, its history and its current focus. Again invite students to take notes as they watch the video, this time focusing on the different ways in which CIW fights to improve working conditions of migrant farmworkers.
Video 2 - Fighting Modern Day Slavery on Florida Farms:
http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2017/05/29/cfp-slavery-us-farms.cnn
Again, having watched the video, ask students to turn to a neighbor to discuss their thoughts and feelings about the video. What stood out for them in this video? How did they feel about it?
Next bring students back together and open up the discussion as a full group, asking them to share what stood out for them about this video. Continue the discussion using some or all of the following questions:
What do you think Laura Germino, co-founder of CIW, means when she calls Immokalee "ground zero for modern day slavery in agriculture"?
What does the video say about how CIW got started in 1993? What were their goals initially? How did they change? Why?
What have some of their achievements been?
What does the Fair Food Program do?
How does it make sure workers rights are being respected?
Laura Safer Espinoza, former Supreme Court justice for the state of New York, runs the Fair Food Standards Council. She also uses the term "ground zero for modern day slavery" but calls it a thing of the past. What do national and international human rights groups say about the work environment in Immokalee today?
What role do large buyers of tomatoes at the top of the supply chain play (buyers like McDonalds, Walmart, Subway, Taco Bell and Chipotle)?
What are the Fair Food Program's next steps?
Digging Deeper: Strategic non-violent action
Invite students next to read this pdf handout about the various strategic actions CIW used to put pressure on those who wielded power in the tomato supply chain. (The handout material is also included at the bottom of this lesson.)
Back in their small groups, or as a full class, discuss the handout using some or all of the following questions:
What are your thoughts and feelings about this piece?
What additional information does it provide about the way that CIW was able to meet its goals?
What methods did CIW use to force growers and the whole food industry to negotiate with them for more just conditions? (grassroots organizing by and among farmworkers, marches, labor strikes, hunger strikes, court challenges, systemic analysis, boycotts, and alliances with student and religious leaders, sustained over many years)
Could similar methods be used to end other injustices that concern us? Why or why not?
What role do you think media has to play in all this, both traditional media and digital media?
The video(s) did not detail the intense pressure and sustained organizing it took to force food companies and growers to enact the positive reforms we see in the video. Why do you think that is?
Invite students to share: If you were to forget everything else you learned today, what is one thing you'd like to hold on to or remember?
What is a cause or an injustice in your community that you could see yourself wanting to organize around?
Handout: How did CIW win?
(also see this pdf version)
Excerpted from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers website
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) began organizing in 1993 as a small group of workers meeting weekly in a room borrowed from a local church to discuss how to better their community and their lives (for more background, check out Facts & Figures about Farmworkers). Combining three community-wide work stoppages with intense public pressure – including an unprecedented month-long hunger strike by six members in 1998 and an historic 234-mile march from Ft. Myers to Orlando in 2000 – the CIW's early organizing ended over twenty years of declining wages in the tomato industry.
By 1998, farmworkers had won industry-wide raises of 13-25% (translating into several million dollars annually for the community in increased wages) and a newfound political and social respect from the outside world. Those raises brought the tomato picking piece rate back to pre-1980 levels (the piece rate had fallen below those levels over the course of the intervening two decades), but wages remained below poverty level and continuing improvement was slow in coming….
In 2001, having won some wage increases for Florida tomato pickers and investigated some of the country's earliest cases of modern-day slavery, the CIW did a deep analysis of the industry to understand where the power to make true systemic change resided. It became clear that the corporate food industry as a whole – and companies such as current CIW campaign targets Kroger and Publix in particular – purchased a tremendous volume of fruits and vegetables, leveraging its buying power to demand the lowest possible prices from its suppliers, in turn exerting a powerful downward pressure on wages and working conditions in these suppliers' operations.
With this realization, the Coalition turned a new page in their organizing, launching the first-ever farmworker boycott of a major fast-food company – the national boycott of Taco Bell – calling on the fast-food giant to take responsibility for human rights abuses in the fields where its produce is grown and picked. Over its four years, the Taco Bell boycott gained broad student, religious, labor, and community support. In March 2005, amidst growing pressure, Taco Bell agreed to meet all of the CIW's demands to improve wages and working conditions for Florida tomato pickers in its supply chain.
Following the successful conclusion of the Taco Bell boycott, the national network of allies that had helped carry that campaign to victory consolidated into key allies organizations, the Student / Farmworker Alliance and Interfaith Action, signaling to the corporate food industry that the Campaign for Fair Food would not stop at Taco Bell. The Fair Food ally organizations became a powerful new voice for the respect of human rights in this country's food industry and for an end to the relentless exploitation of Florida's farmworkers.

I love having a calm and quiet morning. I generally am the first to wake up at my house, and I cherish that time alone. I wake up and either work out, or start making myself breakfast and tea. Then I get dressed and do myself up for whatever the day will bring.
If I want to get ready quickly, I'm out the door in 20 minutes, but if I'm taking my time, it could be closer to 40.
What is the one thing in your morning you can't do without?
My tea. I have been drinking it in the morning since I was very young. The ritual of making and drinking it wakes me up on its own, caffeine or not.
What does getting ready look like for you?
A dance between the stairs to my bedroom, the kitchen, and whatever mirror in the house is getting the best morning sunlight.
Do you plan out your outfits the night before or are you more of a spontaneous morning dresser?
When I wake up, I lay in bed for a moment thinking about what I have to do that day and what I want to wear based on that. Generally, I like what I imagine, but if I don't feel confident and comfortable about something, I will go back and change after wearing it for a bit. I always love that line from Coco Chanel, "Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off." Simplicity is key.
If you had 15 more minutes in the morning, what would you squeeze in?
Reading and writing! Something that will stimulate my brain in the morning; that I can reflect on throughout the day.
The Triangle Bralette in White.
The High Cut Undies in White .

Polsinelli Shughart Attorneys Take Lead in Major Life Sciences Symposia in Missouri and Arizona
Polsinelli Shughart PC attorneys from the Life Sciences and Health Care practices took leading roles in two major regional life sciences symposia held in March 2010. The "Missouri Regional Life Sciences Summit" hosted by the University of Missouri System and "The Personalized Medicine, Law and Policy" program at Arizona State University focused on the strategic policy issues and the tactical developments in science, commercialization, and medicine that will provide the basis for the future growth of life sciences in these regional areas of influence for Polsinelli Shughart.
At the conclusion of the Arizona program there was consensus that personalized medicine will be part of the healthcare landscape. Science is ahead of law and regulation, and ethical and liability issues have a long way to go before there is consensus on how they are resolved. Participants agreed that resolution of issues will require a collaborative effort of all the professions represented at the conference.
Kansas City hosted the "Missouri Regional Life Sciences Summit," March 8-9, under the direction of MU President Gary D. Forsee, Chancellor of the University of Missouri-Columbia Brady Deaton, and Chancellor of the University of Missouri – Kansas City Leo Morton.
Speakers included Governor Jay Nixon, Senators Christopher Bond and Clair McCaskill, and Chancellor Emeritus of Washington University, Dr. William H. Danforth who discussed many of the public policy, government funding, and scientific research challenges in implementing public-private partnerships to facilitate scientific innovation and commercialization.
Representatives of the J. Craig Venter Institute, the National Cancer Institute, research scientists and officers from more than 10 leading universities in the region, reviewed scientific developments and "best practices" in translating cutting-edge basic scientific research into new technologies and products that will benefit mankind.
"Polsinelli Shughart is pleased to have been a major sponsor and to have assisted in the planning for this summit," said Sweeney.
Former Congressman Kenny Hulshof, Public Policy Regional Kansas City Director Pete Levi and Science and Technology Chair Patrick Woolley represented Polsinelli Shughart at many of the forums at the summit. Life Sciences Chair Kevin Sweeney spoke in a plenary panel discussion on "Building Innovative Corporate-Academic Partnerships: What is Needed?" and on "Jump Starting and Moving New Technologies to the Marketplace."
On the same days, Polsinelli Shughart was a major sponsor of The Personalized Medicine, Law and Policy program organized by The Center for Law, Science & Innovation at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.
This two-day conference brought together an international team of lawyers, bioethicists, physicians and research scientists for a multidisciplinary evaluation of critical issues at the intersection of law, science and policy as they impact our future ability to provide targeted and specialized medical diagnoses and treatments to each individual based on their own specific medical needs and genetic compositions.
Polsinelli Shughart Chair of Health Care Mary Beth Blake and Chicago Shareholder, Dr. Teddy Scott, joined Phoenix colleagues, Managing Partner Marty Harper and Greg Garcia, along with clients and guests at many of the forums during this conference.
If you have any questions about these events, please contact Kevin Sweeney, chair of the Life Science Group at Polsinelli Shughart at KRSweeney@Polsinelli.com.

Ohio State police officer rewarded Medal of Valor
The Ohio State University police officer who killed the perpetrator of the Nov. 28, 2016, knife attack on Ohio State's campus received the Medal of Valor at the White House Wednesday.
Alan Horujko shot and killed an attacker who rammed his car into a crowd of students and began slashing them with a knife. President Donald Trump awarded Horujko the Medal of Valor for his actions that day.
"Thanks to Alan's swift action, not a single innocent person that day died," Trump said. "Officer Horujko, we are forever grateful. Thank you very much."
On Nov. 28, 2016, at 9:52 a.m., Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a former Ohio State student, injured 11 people outside of Watts Hall who were gathered outside for a fire drill. Artan drove his car into the crowd and then exited his vehicle with a butcher knife.
Horujko subdued Artan within one minute of the attack, during which Artan charged the officer. Artan was the only fatality in the attack.
Horujko is among 14 police officers and firefighters — two posthumously — to receive the Medal of Valor this year. The Medal of Valor is the highest decoration for bravery exhibited by public safety officers.
Monica Moll, director of Ohio State's Department of Public Safety, said in an email that Horujko's quick response ended the situation in seconds and prevented additional injuries.
"Ohio State remains grateful for his quick response and for all other first responders that offered support," Moll said in the statement.


Abstract: During the 1991 to 2006 period, the proportion of immigrants with a university degree in jobs with low educational requirements increased, not only among recent immigrants but also among established ones. The increases for established immigrants suggest that the difficulties, which have long plagued recent immigrants, are not necessarily temporary. Changes in the profile of established immigrants—particularly language and country of origin—accounted for only a quarter of the deterioration for established immigrants.
In 2006, 28% of recent immigrant men and 40% of recent immigrant women with a university degree held low-skilled jobs. What were the corresponding proportions for native-born Canadians?

The Whiskey Rebellion, or Whiskey Insurrection, was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who used their leftover grain and corn in the form of whiskey as a medium of exchange were forced to pay a new tax. The tax was a part of treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton's program to increase central government power, in particular to fund his policy of assuming the war debt of those states which had failed to pay. The farmers who resisted, many war veterans, contended that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the Federal government maintained the taxes were the legal expression of the taxation powers of Congress.
Throughout counties in Western Pennsylvania, protesters used violence and intimidation to prevent federal officials from collecting the tax. Resistance came to a climax in July 1794, when a U.S. marshal arrived in western Pennsylvania to serve writs to distillers who had not paid the excise. The alarm was raised, and more than 500 armed men attacked the fortified home of tax inspector General John Neville. Washington responded by sending peace commissioners to western Pennsylvania to negotiate with the rebels, while at the same time calling on governors to send a militia force to enforce the tax. With 13,000 militia provided by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Washington rode at the head of an army to suppress the insurgency. The rebels all went home before the arrival of the army, and there was no confrontation. About 20 men were arrested, but all were later acquitted or pardoned.
The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the willingness and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws. The whiskey excise remained difficult to collect, however. The events contributed to the formation of political parties in the United States, a process already underway. The whiskey tax was repealed after Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party, which opposed Hamilton's Federalist Party, came to power in 1801.

Alexander Hamilton in a 1792 portrait by John Trumbull
A new U.S. federal government began operating in 1789, following the ratification of the United States Constitution. The previous government under the Articles of Confederation had been unable to levy taxes; it had borrowed money to meet expenses, accumulating $54 million in debt. The states had amassed an additional $25 million in debt.[2] Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, sought to use this debt to create a financial system that would promote American prosperity and national unity. In his Report on Public Credit, he urged Congress to consolidate the state and national debts into a single debt that would be funded by the federal government. Congress approved these measures in June and July 1790.[3]
A source of government revenue was needed to pay the respectable amount due of the previous bond holders to whom the debt was owed. By December 1790, Hamilton believed import duties, which were the government's primary source of revenue, had been raised as high as was feasible.[4] He therefore promoted passage of an excise tax on domestically produced distilled spirits. This was to be the first tax levied by the national government on a domestic product.[5] Although taxes were politically unpopular, Hamilton believed that the whiskey excise was a luxury tax that would be the least objectionable tax the government could levy.[6] In this, he had the support of some social reformers, who hoped a "sin tax" would raise public awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol.[7] The whiskey excise act, sometimes known as the "Whiskey Act", became law in March 1791.[8] George Washington defined the revenue districts, appointed the revenue supervisors and inspectors, and set their pay in November 1791.[9]
Western grievances Edit
The whiskey excise was immediately controversial, with many people on the frontier arguing the tax unfairly targeted westerners.[10] Whiskey was a popular drink, and farmers often supplemented their incomes by operating small stills.[11] Farmers living west of the Appalachian Mountains distilled their excess grain into whiskey, which was easier and more profitable to transport over the mountains than the more cumbersome grain. A whiskey tax would make western farmers less competitive with eastern grain producers.[12] Additionally, cash was always in short supply on the frontier, so whiskey often served as a medium of exchange. For poorer people who were paid in whiskey, the excise was essentially an income tax that wealthier easterners did not pay.[13]
The main objection to the whiskey tax was that it was taxation without (local) representation, exactly what they'd just fought the Revolutionary War to stop. Many tax resisters were veterans. In the Western view, they were fighting for freedom, resisting the newly emerging central state. Furthermore, why should they pay other people's debts? Some states had repaid their war debt. The Federalists were buying support from indebted states with their policy of assumption.
Small farmers also protested that Hamilton's excise effectively gave unfair tax breaks to large distillers, most of whom were based in the east. There were two methods of paying the whiskey excise: paying a flat fee or paying by the gallon. Large distillers produced whiskey in volume and could afford the flat fee. The more efficient they became, the less tax per gallon they would pay (as low as 6 cents according to Hamilton). Western farmers who owned small stills did not usually operate them year-round at full capacity, so they ended up paying a higher tax per gallon (9 cents), which made them less competitive.[14] Small distillers believed Hamilton deliberately designed the tax to ruin them and promote big business, a view endorsed by some historians.[15] However, historian Thomas Slaughter argued that a "conspiracy of this sort is difficult to document".[16] Whether by design or not, large distillers recognized the advantage the excise gave them, and they supported the tax.[17]
In addition to the whiskey tax, westerners had a number of other grievances with the national government. Chief among these was the perception that the government was not adequately protecting the western frontier: the Northwest Indian War was going badly for the United States, with major losses in 1791. Furthermore, westerners were prohibited by Spain (which then owned Louisiana) from using the Mississippi River for commercial navigation. Until these issues were addressed, westerners felt the government was ignoring their security and economic welfare. Adding the whiskey excise to these existing grievances only increased tensions on the frontier.[18]
Resistance Edit
Many residents of the western frontier petitioned against passage of the whiskey excise. When that failed, some western Pennsylvanians organized extralegal conventions to advocate repeal of the law.[19] Opposition to the tax was particularly prevalent in four southwestern counties: Allegheny, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland.[20] A preliminary meeting held on July 27, 1791, at Redstone Old Fort in Fayette County, called for the selection of delegates to a more formal assembly, which convened in Pittsburgh in early September 1791. The Pittsburgh convention was dominated by moderates such as Hugh Henry Brackenridge, who hoped to prevent the outbreak of violence.[21] The convention sent a petition for redress of grievances to the Pennsylvania Assembly and the U.S House of Representatives, both located in Philadelphia.[22] As a result of this and other petitions, the excise law was modified in May 1792. Changes included a 1-cent reduction in the tax that was advocated by William Findley, a congressman from western Pennsylvania, but the new excise law was still unsatisfactory to many westerners.[23]
"Famous Whiskey Insurrection in Pennsylvania", an 1880 illustration of a tarred and feathered tax collector being made to ride the rail
Appeals to nonviolent resistance were unsuccessful. On September 11, 1791, a recently appointed tax collector named Robert Johnson was tarred and feathered by a disguised gang in Washington County.[24] A man sent by officials to serve court warrants to Johnson's attackers was whipped, tarred, and feathered.[25] Because of these and other violent attacks, the tax went uncollected in 1791 and early 1792.[26] The attackers modeled their actions on the protests of the American Revolution. Supporters of the excise argued there was a difference between taxation without representation in colonial America, and a tax laid by the elected representatives of the American people.[27]
Although older accounts of the Whiskey Rebellion portrayed it as being confined to western Pennsylvania, there was opposition to the whiskey tax in the western counties of every other state in Appalachia (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia).[28] The whiskey tax went uncollected throughout the frontier state of Kentucky, where no one could be convinced to enforce the law or prosecute evaders.[29] In 1792, Hamilton advocated military action to suppress violent resistance in western North Carolina, but Attorney General Edmund Randolph argued there was insufficient evidence to legally justify such a reaction.[30]
In August 1792, a second convention was held in Pittsburgh to discuss resistance to the whiskey tax. This meeting was more radical than the first convention; moderates such as Brackenridge and Findley were not in attendance. One moderate who did attend—to his later regret—was Albert Gallatin, a future secretary of the treasury.[31] A militant group known as the Mingo Creek Association dominated the convention and issued radical demands. As some of them had done in the American Revolution, they raised liberty poles, formed committees of correspondence, and took control of the local militia. They created an extralegal court and discouraged lawsuits for debt collection and foreclosures.[32]
Hamilton regarded the second Pittsburgh convention as a serious threat to the operation of the laws of the federal government. In September 1792, he sent Pennsylvania tax official George Clymer to western Pennsylvania to investigate. Clymer's clumsy attempt at traveling in disguise, and his efforts to intimidate local officials, only increased tensions. His somewhat exaggerated report would greatly influence the decisions made by the Washington administration.[33] Washington and Hamilton viewed resistance to federal laws in Pennsylvania as particularly embarrassing, since the national capital was then located in the same state. On his own initiative, Hamilton drafted a presidential proclamation denouncing resistance to the excise laws and submitted it to Attorney General Randolph, who toned down some of the language. Washington signed the proclamation on September 15, 1792. It was published as a broadside and printed in many newspapers.[34]
The federal tax inspector for western Pennsylvania, General John Neville, was determined to enforce the excise law.[35] Neville, a prominent politician and wealthy planter, was also a large-scale distiller. He had initially opposed the whiskey tax, but subsequently changed his mind, a reversal that angered some western Pennsylvanians.[36] In August 1792, Neville rented a room in Pittsburgh for his tax office, but the landlord turned him out after being threatened with violence by the Mingo Creek Association.[37] From this point on, tax collectors were not the only people targeted in Pennsylvania: those who cooperated with federal tax officials also faced harassment. Anonymous notes and newspaper articles signed by "Tom the Tinker" threatened those who complied with the whiskey tax. Those who failed to heed the warnings might have their barns burned or their stills destroyed.[38]
Resistance to the excise tax continued through 1793 in the frontier counties of Appalachia. Opposition remained especially strident in western Pennsylvania.[39] In June, Neville was burned in effigy by a crowd of about 100 people in Washington County.[40] On the night of November 22, 1793, men broke into the home of tax collector Benjamin Wells in Fayette County. Wells was, like Neville, one of the wealthier men in the region.[41] At gunpoint, the intruders forced Wells to surrender his commission.[39] President Washington offered a reward for the arrest of the assailants, to no avail.[42]
Insurrection Edit
In his 1796 book, Congressman William Findley argued that Alexander Hamilton had deliberately provoked the Whiskey Rebellion.
The resistance came to a climax in 1794. In May of that year, federal district attorney William Rawle issued subpoenas for more than 60 distillers in Pennsylvania who had not paid the excise tax.[43] Under the law then in effect, distillers who received these writs would be obligated to travel to Philadelphia to appear in federal court. For farmers on the western frontier, such a journey was expensive, time-consuming, and beyond their means.[44] At the urging of William Findley, Congress modified this law on June 5, 1794, allowing excise trials to be held in local state courts.[45] But by that time, U.S. marshal David Lenox had already been sent to serve the writs summoning delinquent distillers to Philadelphia. Attorney General William Bradford later maintained that the writs were meant to compel compliance with the law, and that the government did not actually intend to hold trials in Philadelphia.[46]
The timing of these events would later prove to be controversial. In his book on the insurrection, Findley—a bitter political foe of Hamilton—maintained that the treasury secretary had deliberately provoked the uprising by issuing the subpoenas just before the law was made less onerous.[47] In 1963, historian Jacob Cooke, an editor of Hamilton's papers, regarded this charge as "preposterous", calling it a "" that overstated Hamilton's control of the federal government.[48] In 1986, historian Thomas Slaughter argued that the outbreak of the insurrection at this moment was due to "a string of ironic coincidences", although "the question about motives must always remain".[49] In 2006, William Hogeland argues Hamilton, Bradford, and Rawle intentionally pursued a course of action that would provoke "the kind of violence that would justify federal military suppression".[50] According to Hogeland, Hamilton had been working towards this moment since the Newburgh Crisis in 1783, where he conceived of using military force to crush popular resistance to direct taxation, for the purpose of promoting national unity and enriching the creditor class at the expense of common taxpayers.[51] The historian S. E. Morison believed Hamilton, in general, wished to enforce the excise law "more as a measure of social discipline than as a source of revenue..."[52]
Battle of Bower Hill Edit
Federal Marshal Lenox delivered most of the writs without incident. On July 15, he was joined on his rounds by General Neville, who had offered to act as his guide in Allegheny County.[53] That evening, warning shots were fired at the men at the Miller farm, about 10 mi (16 km) south of Pittsburgh. Neville returned home, while Lenox retreated to Pittsburgh.[54]
On July 16, at least 30 Mingo Creek militiamen surrounded Neville's fortified home, Bower Hill.[55] They demanded the surrender of the federal marshal, whom they believed to be inside. Neville responded by firing a gunshot that mortally wounded Oliver Miller, one of the "rebels".[56] The rebels opened fire, but were unable to dislodge Neville. The rebels retreated to nearby Couch's Fort to gather reinforcements.
The next day, July 17, the rebels returned to Bower Hill. Their force had swelled to nearly 600 men, now commanded by Major James McFarlane, a veteran of the Revolutionary War.[57] Neville had also received reinforcements: ten U.S. Army soldiers from Pittsburgh under the command of Major Abraham Kirkpatrick, a brother-in-law of Neville's wife.[58] Before the rebel force arrived, Kirkpatrick had Neville leave the house and hide in a nearby ravine. David Lenox and General Neville's son, Presley Neville, also returned to the area, though they could not get into the house and were captured by the rebels.[59]
Following some fruitless negotiations, the women and children were allowed to leave the house, and then both sides began firing. After about an hour, McFarlane called a cease fire; according to some, a white flag had been waved in the house. As McFarlane stepped into the open, a shot rang out from the house, and he fell, mortally wounded. The enraged rebels then set fire to the house, and Kirkpatrick surrendered.[60] The number of casualties at Bower Hill is unclear; McFarlane and one or two other militiamen were killed; one U.S. soldier may have died from wounds received in the fight.[61] The rebels sent the U.S. soldiers away. Kirkpatrick, Lenox, and Presley Neville were kept as prisoners, but they later escaped.[62]
March on Pittsburgh Edit
McFarlane was given a hero's funeral on July 18. His "murder", as the rebels saw it, further radicalized the countryside.[63] Moderates such as Brackenridge were hard-pressed to restrain the populace. Radical leaders such as David Bradford emerged, urging violent resistance. On July 26, a group headed by Bradford robbed the U.S. mail as it left Pittsburgh, hoping to discover who in that town opposed them. Finding several letters that condemned the rebels, Bradford and his band called for a military assembly to meet at Braddock's Field, about 8 mi (13 km) east of Pittsburgh.[64]
Portrait of Hugh Henry Brackenridge, a western opponent of the whiskey tax who tried to prevent violent resistance
On August 1, about 7,000 people gathered at Braddock's Field.[65] This would prove to be the largest gathering of protesters.[66] The crowd consisted primarily of poor people who owned no land. Most did not own whiskey stills. The furor over the whiskey excise had unleashed anger about other economic grievances. By this time, the victims of violence were often wealthy property owners who had no connection to the whiskey tax.[67] Some of the most radical protesters wanted to march on Pittsburgh, which they called "Sodom", loot the homes of the wealthy, and then burn the town to the ground.[68] Others wanted to attack Fort Fayette. There was praise for the French Revolution, and of bringing the guillotine to America. David Bradford, it was said, was comparing himself to Robespierre, a leader of the French Reign of Terror.[69]
At Braddock's Field, there was talk of declaring independence from the United States, and of joining with Spain or Great Britain. Radicals flew a specially designed flag that proclaimed their independence. The flag had six stripes, one for each county represented at the gathering: five Pennsylvania counties (Allegheny, Bedford, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland) and one Virginia county (Ohio County).[70]
Pittsburgh citizens helped defuse the threat by banishing three men whose intercepted letters had given offense to the rebels, and by sending a delegation to Braddock's Field that expressed support for the gathering.[71] Brackenridge prevailed upon the crowd to limit the protest to a defiant march through the town. In Pittsburgh, only the barns of Major Kirkpatrick were torched.[72]
On August 14, a convention of delegates from the six counties was held at Parkison's Ferry, present-day Monongahela. The convention adopted resolutions, which were drafted by Brackenridge, Gallatin, David Bradford, and an eccentric preacher named Herman Husband, a delegate from Bedford County. Husband, a well-known local figure, was a radical champion of democracy who had taken part in the Regulator movement in North Carolina 25 years earlier.[73] The Parkison's Ferry convention also appointed a committee to meet with the peace commissioners who had been sent west by President Washington.[74]
Federal response Edit
President Washington, confronted with what appeared to be an armed insurrection in western Pennsylvania, proceeded cautiously. Although determined to maintain government authority, he did not want to alienate public opinion. He asked his cabinet for written opinions about how to deal with the crisis. The cabinet recommended the use of force, except for Secretary of State Edmund Randolph, who urged reconciliation.[75] Washington did both: he sent commissioners to meet with the rebels while raising a militia army. Washington privately doubted the commissioners could accomplish anything, and believed a military expedition would be needed to suppress further violence.[76] For this reason, historians have sometimes charged that the peace commission was sent only for the sake of appearances, and that the use of force was never in doubt.[77] Historians Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick argued that the military expedition was "itself a part of the reconciliation process", since a show of overwhelming force would make further violence less likely.[78]
Meanwhile, Hamilton began publishing essays under the name of "Tully" in Philadelphia newspapers, denouncing mob violence in western Pennsylvania and advocating military action. Washington and Hamilton believed the Democratic-Republican Societies, which had been formed throughout the country, were the source of civic unrest. "Historians are not yet agreed on the exact role of the societies" in the Whiskey Rebellion, wrote historian Mark Spencer in 2003, "but there was a degree of overlap between society membership and the Whiskey Rebels".[79]
Before troops could be raised, the Militia Act of 1792 required a justice of the United States Supreme Court to certify that law enforcement was beyond the control of local authorities. On August 4, 1794, Justice James Wilson delivered his opinion that western Pennsylvania was in a state of rebellion.[80] On August 7, Washington issued a presidential proclamation announcing, with "the deepest regret", that the militia would be called out to suppress the rebellion. He commanded insurgents in western Pennsylvania to disperse by September 1.[81]
Negotiations Edit
In early August 1794, Washington dispatched three commissioners, all of them Pennsylvanians, to the west: Attorney General William Bradford, Justice Jasper Yeates of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and Senator James Ross. Beginning on August 21, the commissioners met with a committee of westerners that included Brackenridge and Gallatin. The government commissioners told the committee that it must unanimously agree to renounce violence and submit to U.S. laws, and that a popular referendum must be held to determine if the local people supported the decision. Those who agreed to these terms would be given amnesty from further prosecution.[82]
The committee, divided between radicals and moderates, narrowly passed a resolution agreeing to submit to the government's terms. The popular referendum, which was held on September 11, also produced mixed results. Some townships overwhelmingly supported submitting to U.S. law, but opposition to the government remained strong in areas where poor and landless people predominated.[83] The final report of the commissioners recommended the use of the military to enforce the laws.[84] The trend was towards submission, however, and westerners dispatched two representatives, William Findley and David Redick, to meet with Washington and to halt the progress of the oncoming army. Washington and Hamilton declined, arguing that violence would likely reemerge if the army turned back.[83]
Militia expedition Edit
Militia was called up from New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and eastern Pennsylvania. The federalized militia force of 12,950 men was a large army by American standards of the time: the army that had been with Washington during the Revolutionary War had often been smaller.[85] Because relatively few men volunteered for militia service, a draft was used to fill out the ranks.[86] Draft evasion was widespread, and conscription efforts resulted in protests and riots, even in eastern areas. Three counties in eastern Virginia were the scenes of armed draft resistance.[87] In Maryland, Governor Thomas Sim Lee sent 800 men to quash an antidraft riot in Hagerstown; about 150 people were arrested.[88]
Governor Henry Lee of Virginia commanded the federalized militia army.
Liberty poles were raised in various places as the militia was recruited, worrying federal officials. A liberty pole was raised in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 1794.[89] When the federalized militia arrived in that town later that month, suspected pole-raisers were rounded up. Two civilians were killed in these operations. On September 29, an unarmed boy was shot by an officer whose pistol accidentally fired. Two days later, a man was stabbed to death by a soldier while resisting arrest. President Washington ordered the arrest of the two soldiers and had them turned over to civilian authorities. A state judge determined the deaths had been accidental, and the soldiers were released.[90]
In October, 1794, Washington traveled west to review the progress of the military expedition. According to historian Joseph Ellis, this would be "the first and only time a sitting American president led troops in the field".[91] Jonathan Forman, who led the Third Infantry Regiment of New Jersey troops against the Whiskey Rebellion,[92] wrote about his encounter with Washington: "October 3d Marched early in the morning for Harrisburgh, where we arrived about 12 O'clock. About 1 O'Clock recd. information of the Presidents approach on which, I had the regiment paraded, timely for his reception, & considerably to my satisfaction. Being afterwards invited to his quarters he made enquiry into the circumstances of the man [an incident between a militia man and an old soldier mentioned earlier in the journal] & seemed satisfied with the information."[93] Washington met with the western representatives in Bedford, Pennsylvania, on October 9 before going to Fort Cumberland in Maryland to review the southern wing of the army.[94] Convinced the federalized militia would meet little resistance, he placed the army under the command of the governor of Virginia, Henry "Lighthorse Harry" Lee, a hero of the Revolutionary War. Washington returned to Philadelphia; Hamilton remained with the army as civilian adviser.[95]
The insurrection collapsed as the army marched into western Pennsylvania in October 1794. Some of the most prominent leaders of the insurrection, like David Bradford, fled westward to safety. After an investigation, federal government officials arrested about 20 people and brought them back to Philadelphia for trial.[96] Eventually, a federal grand jury indicted 24 men for high treason.[97] Most of the accused had eluded capture, so only ten men stood trial for treason in federal court.[98] Of these, only Philip Vigol (later changed to Wigal) and John Mitchell were convicted. Vigol had beaten up a tax collector and burned his house; Mitchell was a simpleton who had been convinced by David Bradford to rob the U.S. mail. Both men were sentenced to death by hanging, but they were pardoned by President Washington.[99] Pennsylvania state courts were more successful in prosecuting lawbreakers, securing numerous convictions for assault and rioting.[100]
Legacy Edit
The Washington administration's suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion met with widespread popular approval.[101] The episode demonstrated the new national government had the willingness and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws. It was therefore viewed by the Washington administration as a success, a view that has generally been endorsed by historians.[102] The Washington administration and its supporters usually did not mention, however, that the whiskey excise remained difficult to collect, and that many westerners continued to refuse to pay the tax.[28] The events contributed to the formation of political parties in the United States, a process already underway.[103] The whiskey tax was repealed after Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party, which opposed the Federalist Party of Hamilton and Washington, came to power in 1801.[104]
The Rebellion raised the question of what kinds of protests were permissible under the new Constitution. Legal historian Christian G. Fritz argued, even after ratification of the Constitution, there was not yet a consensus about sovereignty in the United States. Federalists believed the government was sovereign because it had been established by the people, so radical protest actions, which were permissible during the American Revolution, were no longer legitimate. But the Whiskey Rebels and their defenders believed the Revolution had established the people as a "collective sovereign", and the people had the collective right to change or challenge the government through extraconstitutional means.[105]
Historian Steven Boyd argued that the suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion prompted anti-Federalist westerners to finally accept the Constitution, and to seek change by voting for Republicans rather than resisting the government. Federalists, for their part, came to accept that the people could play a greater role in governance. Although Federalists would attempt to restrict speech critical of the government with the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, after the Whiskey Rebellion, says Boyd, Federalists no longer challenged the freedom of assembly and the right to petition.[106]
In popular culture Edit
Soon after the Whiskey Rebellion, actress-playwright Susanna Rowson wrote a stage musical about the insurrection entitled "The Volunteers", with music by composer Alexander Reinagle. The play is now lost, but the songs survive, and suggest that Rowson's interpretation was pro-Federalist. The musical celebrated the militiamen who put down the rebellion, the "volunteers" of the title, as American heroes.[107] President Washington and Martha Washington attended a performance of the play in Philadelphia in January 1795.[108]
In L. Neil Smith's alternate history novel The Probability Broach (1980), Albert Gallatin convinces the militia not to put down the rebellion, but instead to march on the nation's capital, execute George Washington for treason, and replace the Constitution with a revised Articles of Confederation. As a result, the United States becomes a libertarian utopia called the North American Confederacy.[109][110]
In the satirical novel Joyleg, A Folly by Avram Davidson and Ward Moore, a veteran of both the American Revolutionary War and the Whiskey Rebellion is found alive and very well in the Tennessee backwoods, having survived over the centuries by daily soaks in whisky of his own making, to hilariously face the world of the 1960s.
In 2012, Wigle Whiskey, the first distillery in Pittsburgh since Prohibition, was founded.[111] It was named after Philip Wigle.[111]
From 1971 to 1993, the Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World in Florida included a section on the Whiskey Rebellion.

"So there's been a murder. My murder, in fact, but please don't waste time feeling sorry for me. Your tears and platitudes are of no use to me now. I need your help to solve this thing, and I need it fast... Help me work out whodunit before that bloody light extinguishes all hope of ever knowing."
With her dead Grandma beckoning furiously from the tunnel, Ludovica (Lulu) Gold is desperate to solve the mystery of her murder before she heads off into eternity. Not because she's especially curious, but because the last thing she saw as her head hit the ground was her son's black Converse sneakers.
Did her beloved boy really murder her? Was it over something as fickle as chocolate cake? Or is there something deeper, and more poignant going on? In this heart-wrenching story of one woman's quest to uncover the truth, the reader is invited along to help solve whodunnit and maybe save Lulu's boy along the way. Will the truth set her free or destroy everything she ever knew about herself and her loved ones?
Top-selling author of The Agatha Christie Book Club, C.A. Larmer takes us on a remarkable journey that is deeply moving with plenty of dark humor and an ending that promises to surprise.

Automotive Service Association Announces Re-envisioned Membership Model
New model will create a unified voice for the automotive repair industry.
The Automotive Service Association (ASA), the oldest and largest association representing the independent automotive repair industry, announced today that it is transitioning to a new and innovative association model leveraging its expansive history to create a single, unified industry voice.
Insights from industry innovation, technology transformations, and public policy continue to impact the businesses of ASA members, making it imperative for the association to refine its membership offering to better meet members' needs. Implementing a new model not only simplifies and expands member benefits around advocacy, education, and communication, but will also help drive the association's impact and influence.
Under the new model, existing state affiliate agreements will be dissolved, and a 50-state regional structure will take their place. The re-envisioned regional structure will allow the organization to expand their reach and improve member benefits including advocacy, education, events, and training for independent repair shops across the country. Among other changes is a new and improved fee schedule for members. Membership dues will transition to a single monthly subscription at a low rate, effectively solving the disjoined and complicated national and affiliate dues structure of the past.
"We are very excited about the opportunities we see for the Automotive Service Association," said Fred Hules II, ASA Chairman. "Our Board of Directors is taking the necessary steps to ensure the future of ASA and its members. With the changes occurring in automotive innovation and public policy, it's critical that the automotive repair industry speak with one voice. ASA is the voice for automotive repair."
While this is a significant change for ASA, the organization is still committed to staying true to its roots. The new model will build upon its history of service to members, while opening new doors to future possibilities.
