Anglers were greeted to a breezy and wet morning early Saturday morning at Port of Orillia. Each of the 47 teams knew that late October can be cruel. The last few years, this tournament had seen brutal conditions: massive waves, freezing temperatures and fickle bass. But as this year's tournament progressed, the wind changed direction and slowed dramatically making conditions ideal.
As the teams filed passed the stage, the crowd was treated to some of the heaviest 5-bass limits ever weighed in Canadian history. Third place went to Steve Robotham and Sabastian Roy who netted 30.13lbs. Ryan and Callum Johnson brought even a heavier bag totaling 31.06. The brother's sack was anchored with a 7.29lb mammoth smallmouth to grab second. But the day's best limit went to Niagara Falls residences, Matt Belzil and Jason Clay who collected a record breaking limit of 31.84lbs.
Matt and Jason were elated with the win and but soon were met with a weird twist of luck. According to the Lake Simcoe Open rules, any team who sets a new Canadian record is entitled to an additional $20 000. But, the new weight of 31.84lbs is in dispute. Being only a sliver more than the old record of 31.55lbs set by Joey Muszynski and Mark Moran at the 2010 Open.
According to the Aurora Bassmaters Club, the host of the event, no official results have been released. The official standings and decision on the new record will be release shortly after verification. IBASSIN.com will keep you informed as this story transforms.

Renegade Bass Tour Announces New Elite Tournaments for 2018
Renegade Bass Tour will host 4 Elite qualifier events in 2018 bass tournament season as well as the 2018 Tour Championship. Each Elite tournament will be capped to 50 teams. One of motivations to a limited tournament field is to build upon RBT TV and the opportunity for anglers to showcase their talents for Canadian and US television and our growing library of digital streaming content online. Teams will continue to compete for a $5000 first prize purse and priority registration is given to teams or anglers who competed in an RBT Tour or RBT Open event in a previous season.
The tour will launch on Big Rideau Lake June 23rd, 2018 hosted by Rideau Ferry Marina. The historic Big Rideau Lake is a popular destination for recreational anglers from across Canada and the United States and one of the jewels in Rideau Lakes system. The RBT then moves to our most Eastern destination with a return to Cornwall, Ontario on July 7 on Lake St. Francis, one of the most diverse bodies of water in Ontario and Quebec and the traditional lands of the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne and the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation. The battle for the RBT Team of the Year continues on July 21st as the Town of Morrisburg and welcomed by our gracious hosts; the North Dundas Chamber of Commerce to the historic town bordering what is arguably the best smallmouth bass fishery in the world. The tour will finish up where it started in the Rideau Lakes system (and the site of the 2016 RBT Championship) on the combined lakes of Dog and Cranberry. The event will be hosted August 18 by the beautiful village of Seeley's Bay, Ontario.
The RBT Canadian Championship will be held on Sept.8 & 9 and the body of water will be announced at the RBT Tour Event on July 21st. Registration will open on October 28, 2017 at the 2017 RBT Anglers General Meeting and it is expected the field will fill quickly for the 2018 qualifiers. Entry fees and details are available on the Renegade Bass Tour website.

CSFL to Run FLW Canada Tournaments in 2018
CSFL & FLW join forces in 2018
By Luigi De Rose
On Friday, October 20, 2017, FLW formally announced that CSFL will be taking over FLW Canada tournaments. The FLW Canada Cup will be held on August 16-18, 2018 on Bay of Quinte (bay only). The full schedule and event locations have yet to be released. All FLW Canada tournaments will be open to all anglers and no FLW Canada membership is not required.
Here is the official press release:
FLW has reached an exclusive licensing agreement with the Canadian Pro Bass Tour to assume operation of FLW Canada bass tournaments. The agreement was signed by FLW President of Operations Kathy Fennel and Andrew Pallotta, president of the Canadian Pro Bass Tour.
"Canadian bass anglers are among the best in the world, and they deserve world-class events in which to showcase their talent," Fennel says. "We are excited to announce Andrew Pallotta as our new partner in Canada. We are confident that his extensive background in tournaments and sport shows will further elevate the status of FLW Canada tournaments and provide a promotional platform befitting such a talented group of anglers."
FLW Canada will continue to advance two pros and two co-anglers to the Costa FLW Series Championship each year, where they will compete against the full field and other International Division anglers from China, Korea, Mexico and South Africa. The highest finisher in the International Division will advance to the Forrest Wood Cup.

FLW Canada in Jeopardy Next Year
According to FLW Canada's Facebook page the 2018 season will have some major changes. Shootout Fishing League (SFL) and Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) were unable to come to terms. FLW has yet to officially announce who will be running their tournaments in Canada. Considering the series has only run two seasons, they were well attended and well run.
Here is their statement:
Shootout Fishing League (SFL) and Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) were unable to reach a contract renewal agreement. Even though SFL will no longer be operating FLW Canada, there is an organization that will be taking over these operations and continue with the FLW Canada tournaments. An official announcement will be made by FLW soon.
"It has been an honor to work with such incredible anglers over the past three seasons, and we are looking forward to building on our existing SFL brand and running events in the same ethical manner we always have with FLW and SFL. It is unfortunate that an agreement could not be reached, but we are excited for the future and growth of SFL while continuing to put our anglers first." - Cory Banford

Justin Patti Wins the 2017 WON Bass U.S. Open
Arizona pro survives late charge from Brett Hite to win in Wire-to-Wire Fashion
WON BASS PRESS RELEASE
The discussion leading up to the 35th Anniversary edition of the WON Bass, Bass Cat / Mercury U.S. Open were the changes. The addition of Bass Cat Boats as a key partner, and the change of dates to October were the hot topics.
Change became the focus of discussion on the third and final day of the event.
While the first two days of the event featured bright, bluebird skies with light breezes, day three brought high clouds that made for darkened, calm conditions. The result was tougher conditions as the fish scattered a bit more, making it harder for the field to relocate the fish that had served them over the first two days of the event.

No matter the conditions, good anglers will always figure out a way to overcome difficulties, and someone is always going to win. The angler that was able to master the conditions well enough over the three-day event to earn the title of 2017 WON Bass U.S. Open Champion was Phoenix, Arizona's Justin Patti, who won the event in wire-to-wire fashion with a total weight of 36.30 pounds.
Patti withstood a late event charge from fellow Phoenix resident and Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brett Hite, who caught an 11.66-pound limit on the final day to weigh 35.70 pounds for the event to finish second.

2017 US Won Bass Open Day 2: Justin Patti Leads on Lake Mead with 27.71lbs!
Bigger Weights on Day 2

A little over a year ago, Justin Patti left Callville Bay Marina on the second day of the WON Bass U.S. Open in the lead. By the end of the day, he had succumbed to the wild swings that Lake Mead's fishing is known for.
2017 has proven to be a different year for the Arizona pro.
After opening the event with a stellar 14.71-pound limit, Patti took last years' experience and made all the right moves to post a 13.00-pound limit that pushed his two-day weight to 27.71 pounds. His second consecutive strong day increased the margin of his lead to nearly three and a half pounds over second place pro Kyle Grover of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.
His performance helped him nearly match the goal weight he set for himself for the three day event - in two days. "I started this event hoping to catch 10 pounds a day to have a shot to win," he said. "I didn't expect to be catching this quality of fish, I've had two great AAA partners, and we've worked really well together to make it happen."

Andre Dickneite Wins 2017 Costa FLW on Lake of the Ozarks
Locals dominate in Missouri
by Jody White
The final day of the Costa FLW Series presented by Evinrude on Lake of the Ozarks was brutally tough on much of the top 10, but Andre Dickneite stayed steady to earn his first Costa FLW Series win on a lake he's called home for the last 20 years. Weighing 16 pounds and change each of the first two days, the Freeburg, Mo., pro started the final day in fourth place. Adding another 15 pounds even for a 48-4 total, Dickneite moved up to first for a $40,000 payday.
Black jig key to win. (Photo: FLW)
Lake of the Ozarks is a big pond, and Dickneite passed up a lot of good water on the way to his fishing grounds. Running far up the lake to a selection of coves near Proctor, Mo., Dickneite didn't bother with the more crowded sections down near the dam or the State Park or Hurricane Deck.
"I fish there, that's just where I fish all the time," says the Missouri pro, who has nine top-10 finishes in T-H Marine Bass Fishing League (BFL) competition on Lake of the Ozarks. "The BFL Super Tournament here was a few weeks ago and I had one of the most incredible practices I've ever had and I caught one keeper. It's a feast or famine deal – you have to figure them out just like anywhere else on the lake and I got dialed in to one area up there and I got the right bait."

South Africa Wins World Bass Fishing Event!
South Africa raced to the top on the third and final day of the XIII Black Bass World Championships to earn the gold medal of world bass fishing while the United States surged to silver.
The South African team, dressed in green and gold country colors for the final tourney day, might have been twice a bridesmaid the last two years, earning silver in both Italy and Portugal, but it now owns the title of world champion.
The elite American team ended day one in sixth position, and by day three scratched its way to a second-place finish. The anglers on Team USA gained strength from the first day to the last. One can only be reminded of the Vince Lombardi quote, "I've never lost a game, but have upon occasion run out of time."
"Our approach for the tournament was to stay consistent and be in the hunt. We wanted each of our boats to bring in 8 to 10 pounds a day," says the U.S. team manager Lionel Botha. "I think we did a pretty good job."
Italy, a strong competitor who held top spot on day one, lagged on the final day and remained unable to outmaneuver the powerhouse American team, finishing third and earning bronze. It became a game of ounces on a South African day of mixed clouds, thunderstorms and heavy rain.
The European country of Spain made a surprise appearance on the leaderboard and unseated Germany for fourth place. Germany held a top-five position throughout the tournament before being toppled on Saturday and falling to eighth. Fifth place was awarded to Zambia, an African country much closer to the equator without bass.
Here are the final top-10 rankings for the XIII Black Bass World Championships:
1. South Africa
5. Zambia
6. Zimbabwe
7. Namibia
9. Swaziland
10. Mexico
CHAMPIONSHIP TACTICS
The South Africans have put together a crackerjack bass team over the last few years, consisting of top anglers capable of competing anywhere in the world. Team captain Justy Varkevisser is widely considered to be the best bass angler in the nation. Varkevisser has won virtually every bass title in the southern Africa region and competes often in the U.S.

Last Sunday, the score was not what we wanted the most as of course we preferred to have a clean sheet… Then, we should have scored more but what i liked with this the squad is that everybody came on time and motivated to play and give SPQR Da Marcos who said they are here to win the league a hard time !
Remember guys that what make Shanghai Lions FC unique is that we're the only amateur club to give playing opportunities for youngster in Shanghai but also let them feel part of the team and club ! We had Philipp's father making video's of the game and we had Matty out injured coming with his parents to watch as well as Noel (our youth goalie) who played in the senior team a few times to help out to come and watch. Romain, a bit injured also, came as well. Last but not the least, Kader's girlfriend taking all the pictures today although 90% of him… Terao was captain today and Azz stayed aside doing the coaching job ! Big John came in the last minutes and the young French players Raphael and Antoine made their debut.
To me all this is more important than the score against SPQR Da Marcos ! Because next week we will be very motivated to make up for the missed chances and show who we really are ! See you all on Tuesday.

Fantastic trad climbing on the sea cliffs near Nowra. Suitable for experienced climbers only.
This program is suited to people who have previously done the beginner program, or already have some understanding of sequencing, hold differentiation, and technique. These lessons will focus on learning how to approach training, as well as how to structure a program to suit your level and ability. Spaces are limited, so if you're unsure whether this program will suit you, have a quick chat to Laelia on Wednesday night.
A chilled day of climbing at Bangor.
Cancelled at the last minute due to weather. No seriously, the skies were clear until the night before!
As semester two begins, the lobes of the manky cam are coming to alignment. The prophecy of Master Pete warns us that a great battle between the three nations of Middle-Sydney (SURMC, UNSWOC, UTSOAC) is about to begin. Only one nation can emerge victorious, and they will be rewarded with the powers contained within the manky cam.
This is a climbing competition between the Uni climbing clubs held at the ledge and is designed to cater for all levels of climbing. Keep up to date on their Facebook page. EVERYONE is welcome to join us on this night.
Unfortunately, this trip was cancelled due to rain. Lots of rain.
PARTY: contains food, drinks, music, and potential climbing partners. May contain traces of intoxicated climbers. This night was a great success and a opportune time to network amongst the climbing community. The winners of the raffle claimed their vouchers to Mountain Equipment. A big thanks to everyone who helped out with the smooth running of the night.
It was an exciting day as our first trip for Semester 2, 2014. We went to The Promised Land, no joke, that's the name of this very new and well maintained crag up on the North Shore.
UNSW Outdoors Club was kind enough to invite us along to their start of semester event, a BBQ followed by PUBGAINE (like rogaining, but in the city)! Thanks to UNSW for having us along, it was a lot of fun.
We didn't quite make it to Blue Lake, and so we didn't really go ice climbing. But we had a great weekend at the snow anyway! And we did some backcountry skiing/ snowshoeing.
To make up for the hard-ish routes at Berowra, we had an easy day at Crosslands. Beginners got to try lead climbing on the easy routes, whilst the experienced climbers did trad and attempted the harder sports routes.
Winter finally came! After a few days of snow, we decided against climbing at Dam Cliffs. We went sports climbing at Berowra instead (although it was still cold). Beginners got to try top roping, whilst intermediate climbers got to learn how to lead climb.
Learn to trad climb at Piddo (Mt Piddington). Classic cracks and awkward chimneys.
Dress up night at the Ledge! Thanks to all those who came out in their finest pyjamas and lycra attire and lifted the Ledge's dress code to a whole new grade, you all looked splendidly ridiculous!
Julia and Thomas took out best lycra for their fabulous matching climbing partner leotard and tight outfits. Jemma was awarded best PJs, for looking convincingly as though she had just rolled out of bed and started climbing in her purple flannelette jimjams. And last but definitely not least, the prize for best other went to Matt Anderson, the best fairy of the night, who even managed to get his harness on over his tutu!
GIRLS ONLY!! A day of sport climbing at The Stables (near Pennant Hills station), all levels welcome!! See the Facebook event.
It's that time of year again, to head on down to climb at the one and only Mount Arapiles, Victoria.
A trip to the Blue Mountains, for those who aren't going to Araps. Details on the Facebook event page.
We ran 2 first aid courses with Sydney Uni Bushwalkers. Each course covered Remote Area First Aid, at the super discounted price of $60 per person. This course is highly recommended for anyone that goes outdoors regularly. These courses were great to do, hopefully you'll not need to use what you learnt here. Always remember to plan ahead and be safe.
To welcome our new members, we run climbing training sessions. These sessions covered basic climbing techniques and are suited to beginners. Now it's time to put all those skills into practice, clock up the hours and get out there climbing. We may run something similar in Semester 2 for intermediate climbers.
This trip unfortunately was cancelled.
Another successful trip! We had 36 club members cruising around Lindfield Rocks, sending routes left right and center. The beginners got a taste of outdoor climbing, and the experienced climbers got to muck around on Pipe Dreams.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Annual General Meeting. We would like to thank last year's committee for doing a great job of running the club and organising exciting events. A special shout out goes to Bon, who put in an enormous amount of time into the club and went far beyond his specified role as President during 2013.
Cheers to everyone who came! It was great to see so many people climbing at the Ledge and partying till late at the Roxbury.
O-Week Stall 2014 was great - we saw the return of old members, and welcomed plenty of new members. We also got to showcase out wonderful t-shirts, which are available for sale.
Thanks to everyone for making this a great weekend. If you have any gear left over that isn't yours please return it to the club/ person owning it. If you have UTSOAC or UNSWOC gear you can return it to SURMC we can give it to them for you.
USYD, UNSW and UTS outdoors/climbing clubs are joining forces for a combined trip to the Megalong Valley. There will be rock climbing, canyoning and hiking. For more details and to sign up go to this trip's page. Be sure to sign up early because numbers are capped at 34 for each club.


I miss Harvey, because I can't see him. I can't learn from him. I can't talk to him telepathically—I don't have that ability.
If I could talk to Harvey now, I would ask, "What is yours and God's input on this life, Harvey?" I would have asked him this, and then moved on.
Harvey was a great organizer in business and in life, here on earth and, I imagine, up in heaven, too. He helped other people, and I knew it. Harvey shared his food, clothes, blankets, cigarettes. We shared with one another, I guess you could say. I was super-blessed to have known him.
Harvey was the richest man I knew spiritually and he helped broaden me spiritually, as well.
Harvey lives on in my soul forever. If I get to heaven, I will see him.
Happy Harvey Wallbanger, as James Schaectiel was known, died September 25, 2012. He was a dedicated member and strong leader within the Mercy community who spent much time volunteering in our kitchen, participating in writing class, and offering guidance to his colleagues. Harvey was an activist for gays and homeless alike. Harvey died peacefully, well-cared for at a local in-patient hospice facility. In his last two days he was visited by many friends, sisters and brothers, and his pastors. He drew his last breath with Tom at his side. Harvey is survived by his family at Mercy Community Church. We miss him dearly!

The project started when we stumbled over several original drawings in the collection of Hyżne primary school while preparing a small exhibition devoted to General Władysław Sikorski. Our interest piqued, we dug deeper. The result was that we found several dozen interesting and never before published drawings done by Antoni Wasilewski while he was serving in the Polish Armed Forces in the West. We decided the pictures were worth making available to a larger public, in book form.
The educational character of the publication also encouraged us to publish this album in electronic form, at www.antoniwasilewski.pl. This, we thought, would be a more interesting and accessible way of telling the story for young readers, and the unusual format would be attractive for those who already know and love the subject matter.
This, we thought, would be a more interesting and accessible way of telling the story for young readers, and the unusual format would be attractive for those who already know and love the subject matter.
In a world dominated by photography and film, these graphic artworks have something of the hand-written letter in them: they bear the author's imprint, revealed in the free expression of the draftman's line.
First, though, there remains one very important matter. We would like to warmly thank all the institutions and individuals without whose generosity this book could not have been published, in particular the Polish Military Museum in Warsaw, the General Władysław Sikorski Primary School in Hyżne and the Palace of Art of the Society for the Friends of the Fine Arts in Cracow.

Safety Tips from the State Dept.
What follows are some good common sense travel safety tips from the U.S. government which may, as the site says, "help you avoid becoming a target of opportunity".
If you've ever traveled by airline across time zones, chances are good that you've experienced jet lag — symptoms that arise when your body's normal circadian rhythm is disrupted during flights.
You've booked your flights, shopped for your trip and the day has arrived for you to take-off to your destination. Of course you want to avoid losing your luggage.
What Happens When A Natural Disaster Hits Your Vacation?
With recent catastrophe's putting Japan in worldwide perspective, not only do locals suffer, but travelers find themselves in a tough situation. Panicking might be the initial reaction, but being prepared for the worst can easily calm down a dire situation.
Unfortunately for weary travelers, there's no real shortcut to finding cheap airfare. As with any purchase, you need to shop around to get the best deal – But if you're willing to put in a little time and effort, you could save big on your next flight.
The excitement of getting away is as much fun as being away for many of us. However, in all the excitement we can forget to pack our holiday essentials.
So the question is what are the things we just can't travel without?
Do you have to travel by air in the near future? If you do, are you a pet owner who needs to bring your pet along with you? Although most of us leave our pets at home, you may not want to do so or your purpose for travel may be to move, as opposed to taking a fun filled vacation.
Going on a vacation with your loved ones is indeed, one of the most fun-filled and joyous experiences. You get to discover the most salubrious beaches, picturesque landscapes, quaint architecture, virgin forests, and so much more.
Hiring car rentals at airports can be a hassle-free experience if you make good use of the many online opportunities to prescreen a company before taking on a car rental.
Now I'm sure you won't remember either, but there was a time; so rumour has it; when mobile phones only made phone calls! Hardly seems possible now when there's an app for our mobile phones so they can pretty much do anything and everything for us.
If you are driving yourself to the airport then the chances are you will need to book airport parking. Thing is, there's also a chance you just don't know what type of parking to book, and what type of parking best suits your needs.
With the economy the way it's been lately, a lot of us have had to tighten our belts a little in order to help make ends meet. Our budgets are more about the bare necessities, as opposed to all the luxuries we may have been used to at one time, and one of the first things a lot of us have cut out of our lives as a result is travel.
The trouble with travel rewards is that few of us have the time or the patience to navigate the labyrinth of rules, regulations and offers to find the best deals available.
Several airports in Britain have started to make use of the latest technology to help instruct passengers. See the videos on how the virtual staff aids through the security process.
Airports are the places of numerous stories. While they are joyful most of the time, some might turn out to be unpleasant. Read through these bizarre, sad and funny little stories.
Christmas is coming fast and as air travel is our great passion, an idea was born. Why don't we give Santa Claus a little help by planning his annual quest? Wonder how long would it take for him to visit all the European capital cities?
If you ever thought of traveling the world, Round the World (RTW) tickets are the way to go. With this special ticket, you can visit multiple cities on multiple continents.
We often get questions regarding hand baggage rules. Many people are not sure whether they're allowed to take a coat or a purse aboard a plane. Truth is, the rules vary greatly amongst airlines.
A new seating concept has been introduced at NBAA (National Business Aviation Association) event in Atlanta. It is an another demonstration of the efforts to make flying more bearable for passengers.
Various countries are applying some bizarre laws and regulations. We had a look at them and picked some examples for you. Did you know that you cannot drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt in Thailand?
Has it ever happened to you? Traveling abroad with your smartphone can easily become a nightmare. Most users, who don't prepare their phone to be used abroad, are shocked looking at the phone bill afterwards.
This is no big news for regular airline travellers. Frequent flyer programmes are there to provide many extras for them. Did you know that being a frequent flyer is worth it even if you don't spend most of your time on the plane?
It's quite usual that everyone carries a baggage when traveling. Are you aware of certain limitations when transporting your baggage by a plane? Each airliner implies slightly different rules, so it's a good thing to check them out before flying.

Information Update - Infant botulism and honey Français
Feb 11, 2015, 15:21 ET
OTTAWA, Feb. 11, 2015 /CNW/ - In Canada, honey is the only food which has been linked to infant botulism – a rare but serious illness that is caused by ingesting the bacterium C. botulinum. In the majority of cases of infant botulism, the source of C. botulinum is never determined, but because honey has been linked to cases of infant botulism, parents are advised not to feed honey to infants less than one year of age.
Causes and symptoms of infant botulism
While the botulism bacteria can't grow or produce toxins in honey itself, they can grow and produce toxins in a baby's intestine.
Symptoms of infant botulism include constipation, weakness, a weak cry, a poor sucking reflex, irritability, lack of facial expression, and loss of head control. In some cases, the child may have trouble breathing because of paralysis of the diaphragm.
If you suspect that your infant is showing symptoms of infant botulism, it's important that you not ignore them and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Most infants with infant botulism recover completely with no lasting adverse health effects.
What you should know to prevent infant botulism
Never feed honey to an infant that is less than one year old.
Never add honey to baby food or put honey on a soother.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate items under the control of the BLM Alaska State Office and in the physical custody of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY, that meet the definition of unassociated funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. History and Description of the Items Between 1931 and 1932, 86 partial sets of polar bear skulls were removed from the vicinity of the ''Kukulik'' Eskimo burial mound (also spelled ''Kookoolik''), about four miles east of the village of Savoonga, on St. Lawrence Island, AK. Surviving records report that at least one skull was recovered from a depth of ''3 feet and nine inches, but on clay bottom, associated with objects of the Old Bering Sea culture.'' The excavation was done by, or under authority of, Dr. Otto Geist, who was affiliated with the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines (today called the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK). No human remains or other items are known to have been removed during this excavation. At an unknown date after 1932, these polar bear skulls were sent to the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY (AMNH). In 1957, one partial polar bear skull was removed from the vicinity of the same ''Kukulik'' Eskimo burial mound (also spelled ''Kookoolik''), about four miles east of the village of Savoonga on St. Lawrence Island, AK. The excavation was done by, or under authority of, Dr. Otto Geist, whose affiliation was then reported as the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, AK. No human remains or other items are known to have been removed during this excavation. At an unknown date after 1957, this polar bear skull was sent to the AMNH. Between 1931 and 1947, 204 partial sets of animal bones were likely removed from the vicinity of human burials on St. Lawrence Island, AK, by Dr. Otto Geist or under his authority. At the time, Dr. Geist was associated with the Alaska Agricultural College and VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:36 Dec 02, 2013 Jkt 232001 School of Mines (today called the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, AK). Dr. Geist was also associated during some or all of this time with the University of Alaska Museum of the North at Fairbanks, AK. The 204 partial sets of animal remains include 200 partial polar bear skulls, two dog skulls, and two post cranial dog skeletons lacking skulls. Between 1931 and 1947, these animal bones were sent to the AMNH. Dr. Geist's records at the AMNH state that some of the polar bear skulls came from surface contexts and others from subsurface contexts. As no records identify the specific provenience for each specimen, the exact numbers of surface-collected and subsurfacecollected specimens are unknown. Of the 291 sets of animal bones listed in this notice, those found on the surface are approximately one or two centuries old. If they were any older, natural erosion from freeze-thaw action and consumption by animals would have destroyed them. The specimens found in buried contexts, including at least one partial polar bear skull was found at a depth of three feet and nine inches below the surface, may reasonably be connected to the Old Bering Sea culture of the region, and date from about 200 B.C. to 500 A.D. Ethnohistorical and genetic data indicate a continuity of cultural occupation of St. Lawrence Island from at approximately 300 A.D. to the present. Historical accounts and oral tradition presented by representatives of the Native Village of Gambell and the Native Village of Savoonga support this evidence for occupation, as well as the custom of placing polar bear skulls and dog remains at or near human graves. Based on the provenience, type, and condition of the animal remains, they are directly associated with Native American inhabitants of St. Lawrence Island. Descendants of these inhabitants are members of the Native Village of Gambell and the Native Village of Savoonga, who have made a joint request for these animal bones. Determinations Made by the BLM Alaska State Office Officials of the BLM Alaska State Office have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 291 items described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony; the human remains are not in the possession or control of the BLM Alaska State Office; and the items can be identified by a preponderance of the evidence to have PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 72711 been removed from the specific burial sites of Native American individuals culturally affiliated with a particular Indian tribe. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the items and the Native Village of Gambell and the Native Village of Savoonga. Additional Requestors and Disposition Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim these items should submit a written request with information in support of the claim to Robert E. King, Alaska State NAGPRA Coordinator, Bureau of Land Management, 222 W. 7th Avenue, Box 13, Anchorage, AK 99513–7599, telephone (907) 271–5510, by January 2, 2014. After that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the unassociated funerary objects to the Native Village of Gambell and the Native Village of Savoonga may proceed. The BLM Alaska State Office is responsible for notifying the Native Village of Gambell and the Native Village of Savoonga that this notice has been published. Dated: September 26, 2013.

These items were accessioned by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY (AMNH), in 1947. AMNH catalog records indicate that these remains were collected from ''Cape Chibulak.'' An examination of records at the AMNH in 2011 led officials there to conclude that ''most, if not all of the remains from Cape Chibulak came from the grave of Kowarin.'' Additional records at the AMNH indicate that these remains were removed from the surface of the grave of ''a hunter, Kowarin,'' which Geist reports was located ''on the sandspit just above the rim of the freshwater lake at Cape Chibulak,'' near the village of Gambell on St. Lawrence Island, AK. Dr. Geist also reported in his records that he collected ''polar bear, reindeer and dog skulls'' from this burial location. The VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:36 Dec 02, 2013 Jkt 232001 AMNH does not have any of the reindeer remains. Geist's surviving correspondence at the AMNH reports that Kowarin was a ''Siberian Yuit, whose sons Booshy, Otiyohok, Koonuka and Okinilloo are quite old but still living [in 1947].'' Dr. Geist also reported that the grave of Kowarin had been ''ransacked'' for ''souvenirs'' and that his remains had been removed. Dr. Geist recorded that ''after considerable consultation I was permitted to remove all of the specimens'' with the son Otiyohok helping him remove ''all of the skulls.'' Records at the AMNH indicate that at least one box of polar bear remains that were removed from this gravesite were received by the AMNH. Further, one polar bear skull has the name ''Kowarin'' written on the skull. Genealogical, historical, and oral history research conducted during 2011–2013 by the BLM, including with tribal members and lineal descendants of Quwaaren living on St. Lawrence Island, resulted in additional information on ''Kowarin'' and his family. Today, the recognized Siberian Yupik spelling of ''Kowarin'' is Quwaaren. A respected hunter and whaler, Quwaaren was born about 1844, probably in Siberia. By the second half of the 19th century, he was living on St. Lawrence Island, where his children were born. Both Quwaaren and his wife Avaltuk, whom he married about 1870, died on St. Lawrence Island in the 1910s and were buried there. They had a total of nine children of whom four appear to have died as children or young adults and without descendants. The five surviving children of Quwaaren and Avaltuk were five sons: Pusaa (also known as Bushu and Booshu) (1875–1957); Ataayaghhaq (also known as Attiahok and Jimmy/Jimmie Otiyohok) (1877–1965); Kanuka (also known as Tommy Koonooka) (1879– 1970); Aghnilu (also known as Peter Okinello) (1881–1971); and Tatuwi (also known as Morris Tatoowi) (1891–after 1940). In addition, Elders of St. Lawrence Island identified Qisgena (older spelling Kashunga and Qesgenga) (1862–after 1930), the wife of Suluk (1860–ca. 1930), as a sister to Quwaaren's sons. Thus, Qisgena likely was the natural or adopted daughter of Quwaaren. Research by BLM has established that at least five of these six children of Quwaaren have living descendants on St. Lawrence Island and elsewhere today.

History and Description of the Items
On an unknown date in 1947 or prior to 1947, 89 polar bear skulls
were collected by, or under the authority of, Dr. Otto Geist, whose
affiliation was then reported as the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
These items were accessioned by the American Museum of Natural History,
New York, NY (AMNH), in 1947. AMNH catalog records indicate that these
remains were collected from ``Cape Chibulak.'' An examination of
records at the AMNH in 2011 led officials there to conclude that
``most, if not all of the remains from Cape Chibulak came from the
grave of Kowarin.'' Additional records at the AMNH indicate that these
remains were removed from the surface of the grave of ``a hunter,
Kowarin,'' which Geist reports was located ``on the sandspit just above
the rim of the freshwater lake at Cape Chibulak,'' near the village of
Gambell on St. Lawrence Island, AK. Dr. Geist also reported in his
records that he collected ``polar bear, reindeer and dog skulls'' from
this burial location. The AMNH does not have any of the reindeer
remains. Geist's surviving correspondence at the AMNH reports that
Kowarin was a ``Siberian Yuit, whose sons Booshy, Otiyohok, Koonuka and
Okinilloo are quite old but still living [in 1947].'' Dr. Geist also
reported that the grave of Kowarin had been ``ransacked'' for
``souvenirs'' and that his remains had been removed. Dr. Geist recorded
that ``after considerable consultation I was permitted to remove all of
the specimens'' with the son Otiyohok helping him remove ``all of the
skulls.'' Records at the AMNH indicate that at least one box of polar
bear remains that were removed from this gravesite were received by the
AMNH. Further, one polar bear skull has the name ``Kowarin'' written on
the skull.
Genealogical, historical, and oral history research conducted
during 2011-2013 by the BLM, including with tribal members and lineal
descendants of Quwaaren living on St. Lawrence Island, resulted in
additional information on ``Kowarin'' and his family. Today, the
recognized Siberian Yupik spelling of ``Kowarin'' is Quwaaren. A
respected hunter and whaler, Quwaaren was born about 1844, probably in
Siberia. By the second half of the 19th century, he was living on St.
Lawrence Island, where his children were born. Both Quwaaren and his
wife Avaltuk, whom he married about 1870, died on St. Lawrence Island
in the 1910s and were buried there. They had a total of nine children
of whom four appear to have died as children or young adults and
without descendants. The five surviving children of Quwaaren and
Avaltuk were five sons: Pusaa (also known as Bushu and Booshu) (1875-
1957); Ataayaghhaq (also known as Attiahok and Jimmy/Jimmie Otiyohok)
(1877-1965); Kanuka (also known as Tommy Koonooka) (1879-1970); Aghnilu
(also known as Peter Okinello) (1881-1971); and Tatuwi (also known as
Morris Tatoowi) (1891-after 1940). In addition, Elders of St. Lawrence
Island identified Qisgena (older spelling Kashunga and Qesgenga) (1862-
after 1930), the wife of Suluk (1860-ca. 1930), as a sister to
Quwaaren's sons. Thus, Qisgena likely was the natural or adopted
daughter of Quwaaren. Research by BLM has established that at least
five of these six children of Quwaaren have living descendants on St.
Lawrence Island and elsewhere today.
Determinations Made by the BLM Alaska State Office
Officials of the BLM Alaska State Office have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 89 items described
above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near the
individual human remains of ``Kowarin'' (Quwaaren) at the time of his
death in the 1910s or later as part of the death rite or ceremony; the
remains of Quwaaren are not in the possession or control of the BLM
Alaska State Office; and the items can be identified, by a
preponderance of the evidence, as related to the human remains of
Quwaaren, a Native American Individual.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3005(a)(5)(A), known living
descendants of Quwaaren on St. Lawrence Island and elsewhere are the
direct lineal descendant of the individual who was buried with these
objects.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim
these items should submit a written request with information in support
of the claim to Robert E. King, Alaska State NAGPRA Coordinator, Bureau
of Land Management, 222 W. 7th Avenue, Box 13, Anchorage, AK 99513-
7599, telephone (907) 271-5510, by January 2, 2014. After that date, if
no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the
unassociated funerary objects to the known lineal descendants of
Quwaaren may proceed.
The BLM Alaska State Office is responsible for notifying the known
descendants of Quwaaren, the Native Village of Gambell, and the Native
Village of Savoonga that this notice has been published.
Dated: September 26, 2013.

Група експертів ООН з географічних назв, ГЕГНООН (; UNGEGN) — одна з дев'яти експертних груп Економічної і соціальної ради ООН (ECOSOC) що займається національною та міжнародною стандартизацією географічних назв, розробкою, публікацією та розповсюдженням міжнародних рекомендацій для національних експертних груп. Кожні п'ять років проводиться міжнародна конференція. Утворена 23 квітня 1959 року як робоча група експертів, що була перетворена на постійний комітет 31 травня 1968 року.

Історія
Питання стандартизації географічних назв уперше було порушено Картографічною секцією ООН при Економічній і соціальній раді ООН (ЕКОСОС) вже наприкінці 1940-х років. 1960 року в Нью-Йорку, після тривалих обговорень і консультацій впродовж 1950-х років та резолюції 715A (XXVII) ЕКОСОС 1959 року, було скликано перше засідання експертної групи з 6 експертів від США, Франції, Великої Британії, Ірану, Гватемали та Китаю під головуванням Мередіт Баррелл. У ній взяли участь як спостерігачі представники урядів Об'єднаної Арабської Республіки, ФРН, спеціалісти Ради географічних назв США. Ця група визначила 22 конкретні питання та сформулювала 21 рекомендацію, серед яких — провести спеціалізовану конференцію ООН зі стандартизації географічних назв. Така конференція відбулась в Женеві 1967 року і стала підтвердженням того, що національні процеси стандартизації топонімів повинні стати основою для спільної роботи над створенням міжнародних стандартів у цій області міжнародного співробітництва.

Мандат і завдання
Завданням ГЕГНООН є вирішення проблем внутрішньої та міжнародної стандартизації географічних назв, пропозиції та рекомендації щодо такої стандартизації (переважно мовної). Як одна з семи експертних груп Економічної та соціальної ради ООН, ГЕГНООН має повноваження стежити за виконанням резолюцій та продовжує експертну роботу в період між конференціями, що проводяться кожні 5 років.

Виходячи з програмних документів, ГЕГНООН має на меті:
 підкреслити важливість стандартизації географічних назв на національному та міжнародному рівнях,
 показати всебічні переваги від такої стандартизації;
 допомагати та сприяти окремим країнам, що того потребують, у стандартизації власних та іноземних географічних назв.

Крім того, ГЕГНООН сприяє та заохочує дискусії навколо результатів роботи національних органів зі стандартизації та проблем, що виникли в процесі; практично сприяє розповсюдженню найкращих практик та інформує широкий загал про створені національні системи географічних назв.

Структура
ГЕГНООН звітує про свою роботу перед конференціями ООН зі стандартизації географічних назв, що проводяться з періодичністю у 5 років. Його робота підтримується Секретаріатом Статистичного відділу ООН, та власним Бюро. ГЕГНООН у період між конференціями двічі збирається на офіційні наради, працює через робочі групи та спеціальні робочі групи, а також через спеціалізовані лінгво-географічні відділи (групи експертів з країн із спільними інтересами на основі географічного положення та мови). Для взаємодії з іншими науковими організаціями ГЕГНООН призначила низку відповідальних співробітників.

Бюро

Бюро ГЕГНООН складається з голови, 2 заступників та 2 доповідачів.

Поточне бюро має наступний склад:
 Голова: П'єр Жаллар (Франція)
 Заступники голови: Сунь Чже Чу (Республіка Корея), Хасануддін Абідін (Індонезія)
 Доповідачі: Трент К. Палмер (США), Венді Шо (Нова Зеландія)

Колишні голови бюро:
 1967—1977 — Мередіт Ф. Беррілл (США)
 1977—1982 — Йозеф Брой (Австрія)
 1982—1987 — Дірк Петер Блок (Нідерланди)
 1987—1991 — Анрі Доріон (Канада)
 1991—2002 — Пітер Е. Рапер (Південно-Африканська Республіка)
 2002—2012 — Хелен Керфут (Канада)
 2012—2021 — Вільям Вот (Австралія)

Відділи

ГЕГНООН у своєму складі має окремі групи експертів різних лінгво-географічних підрозділів, утворених під час конференцій для більш плідної спільної роботи над спільною тематикою на основі мов або територіальної приналежності. Країни самостійно вирішують до якого відділу їм входити. Деякі групи експертів працюють у більш ніж одному відділі. Кожен відділ обирає собі голову, який заохочує і стимулює діяльність експертної групи у відділі через технічні наради, особисте листування тощо. Не всі відділи однаково активні у своїй роботі та співпраці над поставленими завданнями.

Робочі групи
Під егідою ГЕГНООН було створено декілька робочих груп для подальшого вивчення тем та питань, що входять до завдань ГЕГНООН. Було створено 10 таких груп:
 З питань назв країн.
 З питань топонімічних баз даних і газетирів.
 З топонімічної термінології.
 З питань популяризації діяльності та фінансування.
 З питань романізації.
 З навчальних курсів топоніміки.
 З питань оцінки та впровадження топонімічних настанов і різноманітних стандартів.
 З питань екзонімів.
 З географічних назв як культурної спадщини.
 Зі стандартизації вимови (розформована 2017 року).

Крім того, ГЕГНООН має цільову групу для африканських країн та координує роботу країн з розробки власних топонімічних настанов.

Конференції

Конференція ООН зі стандартизації географічних назв (; UNCSGN) — періодична міжнародна конференція, що її організує Статистична комісією ООН, основною метою якої є сприяння стандартизації національних географічних назв країн-членів ООН. Конференція не регулює політичні суперечки між окремими державами щодо використання/невикористання конкретних географічних назв.

Конференція проводиться кожні 5 років у штаб-квартирі ООН у Нью-Йорку. Вона також може бути проведена в іншому місці, якщо країна-господар візьме на себе організаційні та фінансові витрати з її проведення. Кожна країна може надіслати власну делегацію експертів на конференцію. Членами таких делегацій є експерти з географічних назв відповідних країн, або держслужбовці, що обіймають посади у відповідних національних державних установах.

XI Конференція відбулася в Нью-Йорку в серпні 2017 року.

Топонімічні настанови

Топонімічні настанови ( — «Топонімічні настанови для редакторів карт та інших редакторів. Для міжнародного використання») — постійно оновлювана документація, поширення і застосування якої пропагує ГЕГНООН. Метою такої документації є накопичення інформації з топонімічних питань окремих країн, особливо з точки зору стандартизації географічних назв.

Історія
На III конференції в серпні-вересні 1977 року в Афінах (Греція), обговорювався механізм збору та розповсюдження топонімічної інформації. Великі розбіжності в підходах різних країни змусили тогочасного голову Йозефа Броя ініціювати процес складання стандартизованих топонімічних настанов. Як зразок він розробив «Топонімічні настанови з міжнародної картографічної інформації» для рідної Австрії та представив їх як «Робочий документ № 5» на 8-й сесії в лютому-березні 1979 року в Нью-Йорку.

Пропозиція Броя здобула позитивні відгуки. У наступні роки було прийнято 4 резолюції щодо впровадження таких топонімічних настанов як на рівні ООН, так і національними органами.

На IV конференції в Женеві у серпені-вересні 1982 року було розроблено проєкт Резолюції № 4 стосовно публікації топонімічних настанов для редакторів карт та інших редакторів. У резолюції міститься контрольний перелік керівних принципів та рекомендацій як зразок стандартного формату та змісту національних настанов. Резолюція також рекомендує призначення відповідальної особи з комунікації між ГЕГНООН та національною групою, що займається розробкою такої настанови. Стандартна назва топонімічних настанов була змінена того ж року із запропонованої Броєм «Топонімічні настанови з міжнародної картографії» на «Топонімічні настанови для редакторів карт та інших редакторів». На 12-й сесії UNGEGN 1986 року було вирішено також додати до назви «для міжнародного використання».

На V конференції в Монреалі у серпні 1987 року було прийнято дві резолюції. Резолюція № 11 рекомендує використання типографських засобів для чіткого виокремлення топонімів на картах від іншої картографічної вербальної інформації. Методологія такого виокремлення повинна бути чітко прописана в настановах. Резолюція № 14 рекомендує країнам заохочувати створення таких національних топонімічних настанов, а Секретаріат ООН повинен надавати відповідну організаційну допомогу для публікації та розповсюдження.

На VI конференції в серпені-вересні 1992 року в Нью-Йорку була прийнята резолюція № 14, що рекомендує публікацію національних топонімічних настанов принаймні однією з робочих мов ООН у комбінованих томах документів організації та в бюлетені «Світова картографія».

Зміст настанов
Згідно з постановою № 4, прийнятій на IV конференції 1982 року, існує контрольний перелік питань, які повинна висвітлювати національна топонімічні настанова:
 Правовий статус географічних назв відповідною мовою для багатомовних країн.
 Алфавіт мови (мов). У випадку для алфавітів не латинкою, офіційні правила транслітерації (романізації).
 Загальні правила правопису топонімів.
 Докладні пояснення щодо вимови національних топонімів.
 Мовні субстрати, у потрібних для роботи картографа межах.
 Взаємовідносини між діалектом (діалектами) та стандартною мовою (мовами);
 Особливості діалектів та ареалів їхнього поширення в країні.
 Ареали мов для багатомовних країн.
 Національні органи та установи, що займаються стандартизацією географічних назв; заходи, що були вжиті для стандартизації топонімів.
 Використані джерела.
 Топонімічний глосарій (покажчик загальних географічних назв), необхідний для розуміння національних карт.
 Прийняті скорочення на офіційних географічних картах.
 Адміністративний поділ країни.

HomeBorder NewsEXCLUSIVE: Juror In We Build The Wall Case Speaks Out After Mistrial
EXCLUSIVE: Juror In We Build The Wall Case Speaks Out After Mistrial
June 7, 2022 Jeff Rainforth Border News, News, Politics, Rainforth Exporter 0
A source close to We Build the Wall informed me earlier that there was a hung jury in the trial of Timothy Shea who worked with the organization.
US News and World Report reported:
The trial of a Colorado businessman on charges that he ripped off thousands of donors who contributed $25 million to a campaign to build a wall along the southern U.S. border ended Tuesday in a mistrial after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict.
The mistrial in the prosecution of Timothy Shea was granted by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres after the jury reported for a third time that it could not reach a verdict on any count, saying the deadlock was "abundantly clear." They said extended deliberations had left them "further entrenched in our opposing views."
After previous notes, the judge urged them to try again.
Shea was left to stand trial alone after Steve Bannon, a onetime adviser to then-President Donald Trump, was pardoned. And two other defendants pleaded guilty. The case was prosecuted in New York after it was determined that donors to the fund were from everywhere in the country, including New York.
Two sources close to the case later informed me that Shea and his attorneys spoke with the holdout juror, Roberto.
According to one source, Shea and his lawyers spoke with the "juror guy (Roberto) after the trial today. He said that he has seen a lot of bad things in his life."
The source said that Roberto the juror said he "saw that the government was only showing partial evidence, and they were taking text messages from different days and splicing them together to make statements that nobody was saying."
The source added: "He also said he didn't care how long he had to wait them out he wasn't going to convict Tim."
Last week the Colorado Sun reported:
A jury said it was deadlocked Thursday in its deliberations of charges against a Colorado businessman accused of defrauding thousands of investors in a wall along the southern U.S. border hours after 11 jurors turned against one juror, accusing him of "political bias" and saying he'd labeled the rest of them liberals.
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres rejected a defense request to declare a mistrial and instead read a so-called "Allen charge," designed to spark productive deliberations Friday in the trial of Timothy Shea. Jurors were then sent home.
The original four defendants in the case included Steve Bannon, an adviser to ex-President Donald Trump who was pardoned by Trump early last year. Two others pleaded guilty to charges.
The prosecution pertained to a "We Build The Wall" campaign that raised about $25 million for a wall. Only a few miles of wall were built. Prosecutors said Shea and other fund organizers promised investors that all donations would fund a wall, but Shea and others eventually siphoned away hundreds of thousands of dollars for themselves.
Shea, of Castle Rock, Colorado, owns an energy drink company, Winning Energy, whose cans have featured a cartoon superhero image of Trump and claim to contain "12 oz. of liberal tears."
Earlier Thursday, 11 jurors said in a note to the judge that they were unanimously requesting that one juror be replaced by an alternate juror because the juror had shown anti-government bias and had accused all the others of being liberals.
In their lengthy note, the jurors told Torres that the juror had said things such as "government witch hunt" and accused the government of bringing the case in New York City because it "knew people here vote differently." The note said the juror added that the trial "should have been tried in a southern state."
The jurors also accused the juror of saying: "Tim Shea is a good man. He doesn't beat his wife."

Triple-amputee vet Brian Kolfage began raising money to build Trump's border wall in 2018. In 3 days, $5.4 million had been raised for the wall as word spread of the wounded veteran's effort.
Steve Bannon was brought in to help with logistics as he had teams of people experienced in the political realm, whereas it was Kolfage's first foray into something this size.
After it came to light that the government couldn't earmark the money for a border wall, Kolfage announced that the campaign to fund the wall would also begin construction on it:
"We have raised over $20 Million from 325,000 plus donors and we are only just getting started! I have been literally overwhelmed and inspired by the outpouring of support, calls, and emails from American citizens who support our efforts to Build the Wall."
Soon after, town halls were held, and scouting parties were sent to determine where to build the first section of the wall.
Kolfage tapped me to become the organization's news editor, and later the videographer.

After a few months, a suitable place to build was found.

The final major piece of wall was put in place on June 2nd, 2019. I remember it vividly as June 2 is my birthday. I spent 16 hours on the mountain filming. Tommy Fisher asked me to go up on a precarious cliff to film the final section being put in. It was about 100 degrees in the sun. What a rush that was. Fisher finished everything on June 5th.
I have about 18,000 photos and videos from my time with We Build the Wall. Below are a few of the highlights of the historic project.
See the 3rd-anniversary videos & photos of We Build the Wall's border wall I put out here.
This is a start-to-finish video of the project.
This is a video I shot from a cliff above the wall on the day the final section was placed. It was hot and precarious. Falling most likely meant dying. Wouldn't have missed it, though. We made history.
This is a timelapse I did walking up the border wall.
Liberals went after Kolfage because his organization was so successful in building walls on the southern border. The deep state couldn't have private citizens doing the job government doesn't want to be done. Democrats want mass illegal immigration in order to recruit them as future voters, and some businesses want cheap labor.
