b. Board Seats up for FY2022-23 re-election/designation
Fountain said the consistency in the Board is a testament to everyone's willingness to put in so much time and Doyle's contributions to the organization. He noted Gurevich, Grant and Stepner have each agreed to serve an additional three-year term and Palisades Tahoe designees Crezee and Martin will serve additional three-year term beginning October 1, 2022.
8. Base-to-Base Gondola Presentation and Q&A - Casey Blann
Blann provided a history of Troy Caldwell's vision of linking what was then Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows. The idea got more traction when KSL merged the two areas in 2011. Since then, there have been numerous meetings, opportunity for public input, and consideration of various alignments. The permitted project has 177 Conditions of Approval and construction is planned to be completed by the beginning of 2022-23 winter season.
Blann described details of the project, including the mid- and base stations, maintenance facility, operations, and maintenance, noting this is the first of its kind to be permitted in California. Staff will be trained for communications and safety for this operation specifically. He showed renderings of the project from various vantage points.
Blann described plans for the new Red Dog 6-pack lift, including the alignment, improved capacity and speed, and easier access, all designed to improve the skier experience. Approximately 75% of the trees removed were either dead or diseased.
Given the realignment of Red Dog, the Palisades Plaza is being re-done to provide a world-class entrance to the resort. It will include ADA improvements, superior views for world cup races, and better access to the locker room and amenities. Blann showed artist's renderings of the new Plaza.
Blann is leaving Palisades Tahoe at the end of the year and is committed to seeing these improvements by then.
9. 2021-22 Season Wrap-up & 2022-23 Operations Preliminary Discussion
Doyle provided ridership statistics for the 2021-22 season and compared the numbers with previous years. Ridership has decreased, although there was a 23% increase in new app accounts. In conversations with Board members, Downtowner, and TART representatives, ridership decrease is in large part due to lack of snow in January, February, and March, making it easier for people to use their personal vehicles as opposed to waiting for a Mountaineer vehicle.
Doyle suggested ways to improve ridership obtained through survey responses, add pick up and drop off locations closer to the lifts, promote the personal and environmental benefits of using Mountaineer, and work with Palisades Tahoe and the Truckee North Tahoe Transportation Management Association (TNT TMA) to partner on marketing efforts. Doyle will talk to Downtowner about collecting data that supports the environmental benefits.
Doyle noted for the first time last winter, the Palisades Tahoe app provided parking status, and suggested that unintentionally this may have resulted in a disincentive to use Mountaineer. She is working with the new Palisades Tahoe marketing team and website consultant, who may have strategies to improve this as well as how to strengthen Mountaineer marketing.
Doyle suggested adding a line item to the FY22-23 budget for advertising.
If financially feasible and recommended by the Board, Doyle suggests expanding service at Alpine Meadows next winter to expand to 15 days of holiday service in Alpine Meadows, expand from weekends to four days, and offering evening service between Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows since the Base to Base Gondola will only operate until 4:00 PM. Palisades Tahoe may also ask for an agreement with SATCo and Downtowner if there is a situation where the Base to Base Gondola can't operate due to mechanical and/or wind/weather.
Discussion followed regarding the suggestions, the data and survey results, and how best to reach potential riders, given the landscape changes with new owners and new renters. The Board was appreciative of all Doyle has done for the organization and noted many outside influences that have impacted ridership.
10. Executive Director's Report
a. District Renewal Update
Doyle reminded the group of the suggestion that NLTRA and TNT TMA be advised of the plans to renew the TBID. TMA Board and the Placer County CEO's office support the effort and advised that we had what was needed from NLTRA. The proposed timeline for renewal was included in today's meeting packet; the timeline is confidential.
Today is the organization's last meeting as SATCo. SATCo's new DBA Mountaineer Transit Company and the new website MountaineerTransit.org will be rolled out by the end of June. The new name will be promoted on the website, as well as some basic information about TBID, including a list of businesses supporting the renewal at 1.5%. The Ad-hoc District Renewal Committee is scheduled to meet with Civitas on June 13, 2022.
b. Delinquency Report
Doyle reported collections were $18,592 delinquent as of April. The report from Placer County Revenue Services was included in the meeting packet. The County put a lien on the property delinquent over $6,000. The owner is now communicating with Revenue Services, so that could be resolved soon. There is another delinquency of almost $1,200 that the County may initiate the lien process against soon.
11. TART Connect & 2% TOT Renewal Updates - Lindsay
Romack described Measure A, the 2% TOT renewal initiative on the June 7 ballot.
A request is going to the Placer County Board of Supervisors for FY 2022/23 TART Connect funding. Romack expects the schedule to be similar to FY 2022/23 service, including Friday and Saturday evenings in the summer and fall connecting to Olympic Valley. She reported on strong ridership numbers. Truckee TART Connect service has been added and will operate June 25 – September 5, 2022.
12. Treasurer's Report
a. Q2 (Jan-Mar) and April Financial Reports - Board has reviewed
Pendleton presented the financial reports ending March 31, 2022. Revenues and expenses result in a $192,000 favorable to budget for the quarter.
It was moved by Fountain and seconded by Stepner to accept the Q2 financial reports as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
b. Rev Expense Summary / Cash Flow & Revenue Projections
Pendleton presented the revenue expense summary and cash flow projections. He described the assumptions made, including having the Palisades Tahoe loan of approximately $125,000 repaid by September 30. Pendleton anticipates a bank balance of approximately $500,000 at the end of the fiscal year.
Pendleton commended Doyle for her follow up with the County on delinquencies.
c. Unbudgeted Expense Policy
Pendleton noted times when Doyle needs to make a quick decision to take advantage of an opportunity which will not significantly impact the budget. Pendleton proposed a policy included in the packet to address that situation.
It was moved by Fountain and seconded by Martin to adopt the Unbudgeted Expense Policy as follows: The Executive Director can approve unbudgeted expenses of up to $2,000. Unbudgeted expenses between $2,001 and $10,000 must be approved by unanimous Finance Committee approval. Unbudgeted expenses higher than $10,001 must be approved by a majority of the full Board. The Executive Director shall provide the Board with written quarterly reports of unbudgeted expenditures in excess of $500. Motion carried unanimously.
13. Adjourn
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 10:09 AM. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 8:15 AM via Zoom.

Local charity receives national recognition from the BBC's The One Show
North East Derbyshire based local charity – crafting2gether which has supported over 1000 businesses during the pandemic, has received a surprise visit from the BBC's The One Show to thank their founder, Shelagh Cheetham.
The charity, formerly Shelagh's Sewing Circle, has supplied over 77,000 face masks to frontline workers and businesses and has now received recognition for their dedication to helping those in need.
The charity has expanded and is not just about crafting, people are welcome to join the group for a cup of tea and a chat, helping people to combat loneliness and isolation as well as developing a new skill if they wish.
Dronfield Town Council stepped in during the last year to help the group by offering their premises and after the Charity's home was declared unsafe, at short notice, North East Derbyshire District Council offered a venue for the surprise.
BBC's The One Show surprised founder Shelagh at Dronfield Sports Centre and was broadcast to millions of viewers on national TV where she was thanked for her incredible efforts to help key workers, businesses and local communities.
TV star and fashion business owner Patrick Grant was in attendance to surprise Shelagh and thank her.
North East Derbyshire District Council Cabinet Member for Communities, Cllr Alan Powell said, "I am delighted Shelagh has received the recognition she and the other volunteers deserve. I cannot express enough how grateful we all are to have such inspirational members of our community helping others selflessly through the pandemic and beyond.
I am proud to say we stepped when it was needed most to offer space in our leisure centre at Dronfield so the BBC could attend and put crafting2gether on the National stage.
Our authority is here to support our local community groups – like crafting 2gether and it's a great privilege to support the work they do which has helped thousands of key workers and charities worldwide. Thank you."
Pauline Memmott, a volunteer with crafting2gether, said "We are very grateful to Dronfield Sports Centre for letting us use their venue for the BBC's One Big Thank You surprise for our founder, Shelagh Cheetham.
"The success and growth of the Charity is all down to Shelagh, although she would say it's the volunteers!
"With Shelagh's commitment, we've provided thousands of masks to key workers, helped a charity in Armenia by knitting scarves and at a local level, we help combat isolation by providing social contact for members of our community.
"Everyone is welcome to join us to create or just have a cuppa and a chat."

Hundreds Of Women Call For End To TVT Surgery
Campaigners want the operation, which has left some patients unable to walk and suffering from chronic pain, to be suspended.
By Charlotte Lomas, Sky News Reporter
Wednesday 24 June 2015 23:45, UK
'End The Op' Campaign
Hundreds of women across the UK are calling for the ban of a medical procedure which has left them in chronic pain - with some unable to walk.
A campaign is highlighting the risks associated with TVT surgery, which is designed to help women who suffer with stress incontinence, mainly after childbirth.
Kath Sansom chose to have the operation, which involves implanting a synthetic mesh tape to support the bladder. However, the mother-of-two now wishes she had not tried to resolve the problem.
She explained: "I was a fitness junkie and loved boxing, high board diving and swimming.
"When I heard that a routine, low-risk operation could help improve my quality of life and stop my mild incontinence, I was excited.
"But it was the worst decision of my life. Ever since I have experienced severe pain.
"One day it will be in my legs and groin area. Another day it will be like cheese wire cutting into my tissues. And sometimes, it sends a shooting pain up my neck and across my shoulders."

Ms Sansom claims she can now only walk for 15 minutes before she gets dizzy and feels pain. She is taking nerve blocker medication to manage this, and says she was unaware of the risks of the surgery.
Despite her suffering, she says she feels lucky.
"Some women are in wheelchairs, some have to use sticks to walk and some women are suicidal," she added.
"They have lost their job, their marriage and are desperate."
She has launched a campaign calling for TVT surgery to be suspended, and for a national register to be set up to record the number of women whose surgery causes problems.
The same operation is under review in Scotland.
The body responsible for ensuring medical devices are safe in the UK is the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
They said in a statement: "We have listened to and understand the concerns many women have.
"For the majority, the use of vaginal mesh implants is safe and effective. Our findings show that the benefits continue to outweigh the risks."
Approximately 13,000 women undergo TVT mesh surgery every year in England, and it's unclear how many experience problems.
In 2010, the official number that were removed was 603, yet the MHRA only received 15 adverse incident reports. Many women say they are unaware of where to report their complaint.
Dr Alak Pal, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist in north-west London, says the TVT operation can be very beneficial, but only to the right patients.
He added: "The process of selecting surgery as an option needs to be thorough, and the patient needs to be aware of the risks involved."
Ms Sansom is booked in to have her mesh implant removed in September - an operation which carries great risk because the mesh is designed to be permanent.
Only two consultants are qualified to remove the mesh in England. Dr Sohier Elneil, a consultant in urogynaecology, is one of them - and is seeing more and more patients.
She said: "I used to see one or two a month who wanted the mesh taken out, and now it's more like five a week. My waiting list is full until October.
"Obviously, for some patients, this surgery is of benefit - but for some women I see it is a personal tragedy.
"The perception is that the amount of women who have had problems is minimal, but for every woman affected that is one too many."

Robert I. Parmský (9. července 1848, Florencie – 16. listopadu 1907, Lucca) byl hlava parmské větve Bourbonské dynastie a poslední vládnoucí vévoda v Parmě, Piacenze a Guastalle. Jedním z jeho mnoha potomků byla poslední rakouská císařovna a uherská královna Zita.

Původ
Narodil se z manželství parmského vévody Karla III. s Luisou Marií Bourbonskou. Matka byla po otci Karlu Bourbonském vnučkou francouzského krále Karla X. a po matce Marii Karolíně vnučkou krále obojí Sicílie Františka I. a pravnučkou císaře Leopolda II. Jeho otec přišel na svět z manželství etrurského krále Karla Ludvíka s Marií Terezou Savojskou a byl tak vnukem etrurijského krále Ludvíka I., španělského krále Karla IV. a sardinského krále Viktora Emanuela I.

Robert měl tři sourozence. Starší sestru Markétu (1847–1893), která se provdala za madridského vévodu a titulárního krále francouzského a španělského Karla Mariu Bourbonského, a dva mladší sourozence. Alice (1849–1935) se stala manželkou titulárního toskánského vévody Ferdinanda IV. a Jindřichovi (1851–1905) náležel titul hraběte z Bardi.

Vláda
Na vévodský stolec nastoupil poté, co byl jeho otec roku 1854 zabit. Bylo mu tehdy teprve šest let, proto fakticky vládla jeho matka Louisa Marie Terezie z Artois, sestra hraběte ze Chambord, jako regentka. Vévodkyně schvalovala některé z mnoha reakcionářských spolupracovníků svého muže, byla však překvapena mazziniovským hnutím z července 1854 a přešla na tvrdě represivní politiku, která vedla až k druhé válce za nezávislost.

Roku 1859, při vypuknutí druhé války za nezávislost, byl Robert ve  svých jedenácti letech sesazen a jeho matka se raději rozhodla evakuovat rodinu do Lombardska-Benátska, v očekávání, že boje brzo skončí. Následoval smír z Villafranca, po němž Sardinské království, (po plebiscitu z roku 1860), anektovalo Parmské vévodství s městem Parmou i Toskánsko, aby tak vytvořilo větší společný útvar Italské království.

Život bez koruny
I přes ztrátu trůnu Robert a jeho rodina disponovali významným dědictvím, například soukromým vlakem čítajícím více než tucet vozů, vlastním zámkem ve Schwarzau am Steinfeld poblíž Vídně, sídlem Villa Pianore v Toskánsku a honosným zámkem Chambord ve Francii.

Robert I. zemřel ve Viareggiu roku 1907. Necelé čtyři měsíce po jeho smrti v roce 1907, bylo šest dětí z jeho prvního manželství shledáno právně nezpůsobilými, a byli svěřeni jeho vdově vévodkyni Marii Antonii. Přesto se Robertovým dědicem stal Eliáš, vévoda z Parmy (1880-1959), jeho mladší syn z jeho prvního manželství.

Někteří z jeho synů sloužili v ozbrojených složkách Rakouska jiní v armádě Belgie.

Rodina
Dne 5. dubna 1869 se na zámku San Martino u Luccy oženil s princeznou Marií Piou (1849–1882), dcerou bývalého krále obojí Sicílie Ferdinanda II.. Z manželství se narodilo 12 dětí, z nichž však polovina trpěla mentálním postižením, dvě zemřely krátce po narození, a porod posledního nepřežilo dítě ani matka. Následnictví pokračovalo po linii syna Eliáše Roberta.

Robertovou druhou ženou se pak 15. října 1884 na zámku Fischhorn v Zell am See stala dcera sesazeného portugalského krále Michala I., Marie Antonie z rodu Braganzů. Marie Antonie dala život dalším 12 dětem, z nichž se nejvíce proslavila dcera Zita, která se provdala za pozdějšího rakousko-uherského panovníka Karla I..

Laws banning private armies go unenforced in Washington

OLYMPIA – When Olympia Police Officer Tiffany Coates' cruiser rolled into a gun shop parking lot, she knew dozens of armed men were waiting for her. She wasn't concerned.
Vigilantes with the group Three Percent of Washington carrying AR-15 rifles waved warmly as Coates arrived. A few minutes later Coates was smiling for a camera, flanked by nine paramilitaries.
Posted on social media as the Black Lives Matters protests unfolded in June, that photo of a grinning cop surrounded by armed, camouflage-clad men fed the worst fears of residents who for days had complained to police about armed men following and intimidating protesters. It was proof to some that police, amid an upsurge in guns sales, were coddling vigilantes they should be arresting.
"As a Black woman, I am scared right now … to live in a ZIP code where officers actively affiliate themselves with armed, white vigilantes, who have made their paranoid, suspicious hatred of my people an inescapable presence in my life," Olympia resident Elisa McGee told the City Council in June. She demanded that Coates be fired. That didn't happen. (In fact, last month she was honored as "Officer of the Year" by the Olympia post of the American Legion.)

Tensions are high
With the most contentious Election Day in generations looming, the ability of law enforcement to respond to possible paramilitary actions is an open and pressing question.
Paramilitary organizations are illegal in Washington and many other states. But laws meant to stop the formation of ad hoc armies are archaic and vague, so much so that police and prosecutors who have recently had the opportunity to use them describe them as unenforceable.
Not that any have tried. Despite the rise in paramilitary activity, nowhere in the state have members of those armed, organized groups been prosecuted for violations of the state's anti-paramilitary laws, according to interviews with law enforcement leaders and extremism experts. Rather than prosecution, the melange of AR-15-carrying, camouflage-clad vigilante groups has been called on by a handful of politicians to provide "security" as President Donald Trump suggested one group "stand back and stand by."
Tensions are high as hundreds of members of the Washington National Guard stand ready to support local police if civil unrest does break out. That unrest could manifest in a number of ways — including protests much like those seen this summer — but the possibility of paramilitary action presents a particular unknown.
Karina Shagren, a spokesperson for the state Military Department, said the National Guard hasn't deployed but is poised to do so if there are disturbances around Election Day.
"It's safe to say this is a risk that we need to be prepared for," Shagren said. "It would be a disservice not to."
Should violence occur, it won't have come without warning. Police and prosecutors around the state have been trying to figure out what to do about the upwelling of vigilantism for months, to little effect.
Laws related to paramilitary activities vary slightly state to state, but the key features are similar. Washington's are no exception.
"If a group is carrying assault rifles and coordinating its deployment of individuals … that's activity that we would typically call paramilitary activity," said Mary McCord, legal director for Georgetown Law School's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection.
Recently, McCord has helped bring lawsuits against paramilitary groups. After the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, her organization successfully sued to block paramilitaries from returning to Virginia. Her organization has since helped city and county governments stop illegal paramilitary conduct in their jurisdictions.
Though he recently stepped down as Three Percent of Washington's leader, group founder Matt Marshall remains adamant that the group is not a paramilitary organization. Proponents of the Three Percent movement, which takes its name from the debunked notion that only 3% of colonists fought in the American Revolution, present themselves as civilian opposition to tyranny; some celebrate anti-government actions like the 2014 standoff at Cliven Bundy's Nevada ranch.
Groups in the Three Percent movement and other vigilantes have nonetheless been embraced by some elected officials. A handful have even invited them to "protect" their towns.
One Idaho county commissioner invited citizens to come "help counter anything that might get out of hand" at a Sandpoint Black Lives Matter protest in June, while in Coeur d'Alene officials claimed incorrectly that the U.S. Constitution enables organized armed groups to patrol the city during protests.
In the Olympia suburb of Lacey, city council member Ed Kunkel posted on Facebook that armed private paramilitaries patrolling the streets of Coeur d'Alene was "how it should be."
Those stamps of legitimacy land on a diffuse movement that has seen adherents accused of planning to kidnap Democratic governors in Michigan and Virginia, brandish firearms during political disagreements and clash violently with protesters on the opposing side. Portland's riotous summer, and now fall, was at its worst when right-wing vigilantes squared off with racial justice demonstrators; one Antifa-affiliated demonstrator suspected in the killing of a member of an armed right-wing group in Portland was shot dead by members of a federal task force in September.
New report reveals threat
In a report released Wednesday, researchers with the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project and MilitiaWatch warned that militia groups "pose a serious threat to the safety and security of American voters" as the election nears in part because they've faced few consequences.
"The lack of open sanctions of these groups … has given them space to operate, while concurrently allowing political figures to claim little direct responsibility for violent actions from which they hope to benefit," the authors said in the report.
Many protesters find the paramilitaries intimidating, said Devin Burghart, executive director for the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights. The paramilitary groups, overwhelmingly white in their membership, have become increasingly common at protests targeting racism and white supremacy.
"The fear that it strikes in folks to see groups of heavily armed men walking through the streets is something that can't be understated," said Burghart, whose Seattle-based organization tracks far-right groups. He added that people who've lived in countries where paramilitary death squads were given free rein find them particularly chilling.
In Washington alone, there were at least 15 incidents of far-right groups showing up at Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the month following George Floyd's killing by Minneapolis police on May 25. During that time, there were 136 sightings of far-right groups at racial justice protests in the U.S., according to a map produced in part by Burghart's institute. News outlets reported armed vigilantes at protests in Olympia, Snohomish, Spokane, the Tri-Cities and Gig Harbor.
Despite the upswing, it appears that nowhere in the state have anti-paramilitary criminal laws been enforced.
While state laws typically do not use the words "militia" or "paramilitary," Washington has three criminal laws that can potentially be applied to paramilitary conduct. One state law prohibits groups from forming military companies, while another prohibits training others to create civil disorder and a third makes it illegal to impersonate police.
The laws do not discuss ideology, and would apply regardless of political affiliation. A few groups on the left are arming themselves as well. In Seattle, the leftist group Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club has appeared armed at protests and provided security for speakers in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
Spokane Police Department spokesperson John O'Brien said he has never seen Washington's paramilitary statutes enforced, and noted the vigilantes have largely complied with officers' orders.
After the first night of protests, O'Brien said, the Spokane police met with the county prosecutors to discuss possible charges against armed vigilantes. None were prosecuted, and it's unclear whether the state laws related to private paramilitary conduct came up. The Spokane County Prosecutor's Office did not respond to a request for comment.
Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell said that in his 18 years as a prosecutor he can't recall ever seeing an investigation that used Washington's private paramilitary statutes. Cornell, whose jurisdiction includes a town that saw 100 armed vigilantes praised by the city's mayor after "patrolling" the streets in late May, said he believes they would be difficult charges to prove.
"I don't believe that the police are investigating violations of" Washington's private paramilitary statutes by the vigilantes," Cornell continued.
If police were looking to bring cases against vigilantes, the prosecutor's office would likely have received requests that charges be filed, Cornell said. Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney, whose department provides police services in many of the county's cities, did not respond to request for comment.
The broad absence of action against the armed vigilantes, and the apparent endorsement by some prominent Republicans, has led some to wonder where law enforcement sympathies lie.
The campaign for Loren Culp, an Eastern Washington police chief hoping to unseat Gov. Jay Inslee, gave $7,000 to the founder of one vigilante group that later claimed to have raised $55,000 for the teen who fatally shot two Black Lives Matter demonstrators and wounded a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In late August, The Brennan Center for Justice released a report noting ties between police departments and white supremacist or militia groups have been uncovered in 14 states, including Washington, since 2000. The center noted the firing of a southwest Washington sheriff's deputy tied to the Proud Boys, an all-male neo-Fascist organization. Michael German, a former FBI special agent, told The Guardian the scale of links between law enforcement and extremist groups is difficult to determine because no one is collecting that data.
Burghart of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights said he has seen numerous incidents in which anti-paramilitary statutes should have been applied in the Pacific Northwest. Authorities made virtually no effort to use them, he said. He attributes the hesitation to lack of political will and concern about turning vigilantes into martyrs.
"There is no road map for a county prosecutor or a state attorney general to prosecute any of these paramilitary groups, because it hasn't been done," Burghart said. "Nobody wants to be the first. Nobody wants to lose a case like that."
The Three Percent of Washington, Burghart said, has "worked really hard to say that they are not a militia" while engaging in paramilitary activities.
Technically, the paramilitary statutes are criminal statutes and police can make arrests. McCord, legal director for the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, doesn't necessarily recommend that as a first step.
"That sometimes can just escalate a whole situation into violence," she said. Police "need to use their judgment in any given incident."
After the Olympia officer was seen on Facebook with the Three Percent group, the Olympia Police Department launched a three-month internal investigation that cleared Officer Coates. Olympia Police Chief Aaron Jelcick explained in an interview with InvestigateWest that it is simply too difficult to tell what constitutes a militia group.
Police came to learn the Three Percent of Washington members arrived in Olympia to, in their view, defend the city. Patches worn by some showed they belonged to the organization's 75-member unit covering a five-county region that includes the state capital. Most said they were military veterans, and that their statewide organization — which describes itself as a group of "God-fearing Patriots that support our constitution" — backs the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement. They said they were there to defend against Antifa.
Jelcick expressed concern that clashes between justice reform demonstrators and self-styled security forces would result in "unintended consequences." The police, Jelcick said, did not need assistance from "any militia, any armed civilians, or any vigilante groups." Thirty-three elected leaders in Thurston County also signed a letter opposing the vigilantes.
But Jelcick's investigators did not try to build a criminal case against the paramilitaries. Looking back, Jelcick said he still doesn't believe police could have.
"If you have people that are cruising around and assuming the role of a military organization or law enforcement agency, it needs to be clear that they are doing that," Jelcick said. "Simply being a group of people that convene in a parking lot is not going to meet that criteria."
Marshall, Three Percent of Washington's founder, agrees.
Drawing a line between his organization and vigilante groups that go to demonstrations looking for a fight, Marshall described Three Percent of Washington as a service-minded group conducting food drives and helping homeless veterans when it's not heading to protests. He sees the registered nonprofit as a less organized version of a Rotary club.
"I have told people over and over and over again not to wear military-looking gear, (body armor) plate carriers or camo in public because it completely destroys the image that we're going for," Marshall said. "Nobody looks at us and thinks, 'Oh, those look like a bunch of normal, sane people that we want to go talk to.'"
Responding to the criticism that Three Percent of Washington takes on work properly done by police, Marshall notes that some arguing that the police be defunded also believe the community "can do it themselves."
Even among extremism experts, there is disagreement about what makes a group a paramilitary.
Three leading watchdog groups – The Southern Poverty Law Center, Western States Center and Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights – all consider the Three Percent of Washington a paramilitary organization. Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow for the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism, does not.
"I wouldn't call them a paramilitary group," Pitcavage said. "I don't think there is enough of a paramilitary structure to them to call them that, but they are certainly an armed extremist group."
Lindsay Schubiner is a program director at Western States Center, an organization that advocates for inclusive democracy. She noted that right-wing paramilitary groups are "keen observers of political conditions."
"We have seen paramilitary and alt-right groups in the Northwest and across the country [exploit] the pandemic as a time of political instability," Schubiner said. "It's critical that law enforcement and elected officials not lend credibility to militia or paramilitary groups."
In Olympia, it appeared Three Percent of Washington was attempting to link up with police the night of the photo. The department's internal investigation revealed that Three Percent of Washington's local chapter leader asked Coates to put him in touch with her superiors. Coates told investigators the vigilante wanted to "let us know that they're peaceful … and that they believe in the Black Lives Matter movement."
Jelcick said the Olympia Police Department does not take "one side or another" when opposing groups protest. If they are likely to clash, he said, officers discourage them from interacting with each other.
"That's what we have done," Jelcick said. "But if we have somebody clearly violating the law, we are going to engage those folks if it's safe to do so."
CLOSER LOOK: Washington State Laws Regarding Paramilitary Conduct
Though authorities have been reluctant to enforce them, the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection points to three Washington laws that could be brought to bear against armed paramilitary groups operating in the state:
Authorized military organizations: RCW 38.40.120 prohibits private militias, and makes participating in one a misdemeanor. The law, first drafted in 1903 and not significantly modified since, mandates that "no organized body other than the recognized militia organizations of this state … shall associate themselves together as a military company or organize or parade in public with firearms."
Civil disorder training: Under RCW 9A.48.120, training others how to use "any device or technique capable of causing significant bodily injury or death" during a violent public disturbance like a riot is a felony. The law includes an exception for "firearms training, target shooting, or other firearms activity, so long as it is not done for the purpose of furthering a civil disorder."
Impersonation of a police officer: RCW 9A.60.045 makes claiming to be police, or creating the impression that one is a law enforcement officer, a gross misdemeanor. Criminal impersonation charges are relatively common but are usually brought against those who don police badges and uniforms, or make specific claims about working for a law enforcement agency.

JTrevino says:
Those "para-military groups"are the last of your concern. How about the Black Lives Matter folks who burned destroyed,looted, murdered,(adult and child) in Seattle? No para military group. Black Lives Matter, who by their own manifesto on the computer are anarchists. You are completely off base on this one. If our police where able to handle the crowds and the police were told to Stand Down, by Mayor Durkan and Governor Inslee no "para" military group would have been needed. So what do they do? Fire the police chief??? Insanity at best. You need to cover the real story. "Why do the Governor and Mayor of Seattle (who set the pace for the state) go after the real problem? Black Lives Matter and Antifa?"
Mary Manker says:
Excellent article. It is very necessary to let investigative reporters do their work. It has lots of specific detail and quotes from researched information and notes the sources. That makes it creditable. This is necessary for a democracy. And, black lives do not only matter, anyone of any skin color should be able to thrive as long as it is contributory and legal and does not infringe on the freedom of others.
The rule of law should rule, if we are a civil society, not bullying and private militia groups.
Raul Ortega says:
I'm very thankful for these so called para-military groups. The police do not have the manpower, resources, or support of many radical elected officials to counter the violence, mayhem and arson caused by Black Lives Matter, and Antifa.
Larry Johnson says:
The so called "threat" of citizen vigilantes can be essentially eliminated if politicians would get out of the way and let the police enforce existing laws against vandalism, out right property destruction and mob violence.
Hobo_Yoda says:
False flags buddy. It's part of the extremist psyops to discredit peaceful protests in the eyes of the general public. Meanwhile from the tone and content of your comment I might be led to believe you might be involved as well. Or at the very least as a dupe you fell for it too

Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara: Episode 1 – "I'm Going to Marry Her Once I Leave This School"
Posted on April 17, 2014 by Lesley Aeschliman
Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara is an anime based on a light novel written by Toka Takei and illustrated by Cuteg. The series is produced by Hoods Entertainment, and is directed by Ayumu Watanabe. As of this writing, Crunchyroll holds the North American streaming rights for the series, and NIS America holds the North American home video rights.
Episode One begins with a girl named Nanami Knight Bladefield heading on her way to school at Hatagaya Academy. A traffic accident happens near her, and just when it looks like a truck's going to hit her and the other pedestrians on the sidewalk, she sees a mysterious boy saying something to someone nearby, and the truck misses them.
Nanami is troubled by what she saw, and realizes the boy was wearing a Hatagaya Academy uniform. Her teacher announces that they have a new transfer student named Sota Hatate, and it turns out he's the boy she saw at the time of the accident. In class, Sota has some people approach him and asking him things, and he shoots them down. Nanami watches all of this intensely, and then tells Sota that she wants to talk to him.
They go up on the school roof, and Nanami starts questioning Sota about what happened. When he tries to get out of saying anything, she points out that she noticed him looking above people's heads and making a decision based on what he saw. He tells her that he can see "flags" over people's heads, and how they look have specific meanings. Not only can Sota see these flags, he knows what he has to do to destroy them. Sota also tells Nanami that she needs to stay away from him because he brings misfortune to other people. Nanami, however, refuses to heed what he says.
At lunch, Sota and Nanami sit together outside, but they don't face each other. A girl named Akane Mahougasawa approaches and asks to have lunch with them. Sota sees a friendship flag above her, and he shoots her down. However, Akane is persistent, and her friendship flag keeps returning every time Sota tries to shoot her down. He gives up after a while. He also learns that Akane is the heir to the owner of the Mahougasawa Group, and that Nanami is the 13th princess of a small country in Europe called the Principality of Bladefield.
After school, Akane insists on going to Sota's house. He tries to shoot her down again but fails, so he takes Akane and Nanami to the Quest Dorm. This turns out to be a dilapidated and unsafe looking building. While they're there, Akane tells Nanami about an incident that happened in her childhood, and shows a barrette that's part of that incident. When it's time to go, Akane realizes she left the barrette in Sota's room, and goes back up to get it. As she does, Sota sees a death flag appear above her head. It's up to Sota to try to figure out how to get rid of the death flag…
As I watched the first episode of the series, I found myself thinking that there was an interesting concept that was drawing me into what I was seeing. So far, I've really enjoyed the interactions between Sota, Nanami, and Akane. I found myself chuckling at some of the humor, and I was left with the impression that Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara was a cute show that shows a lot of promise.
From what I saw in the ending credits, it looks like this series could see Sota acquiring a harem of girls, with Nanami and Akane being the first two members of the harem. If this turns out to have a harem element, I hope the series can continue to be as enjoying and promising as what I saw in this first episode.

Mardan Cantonment is located in the 2nd largest city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in Mardan and is the only cantonment in Mardan District and Mardan Division. It is the centre of one of the most renowned regiment of Pakistan Army - The Punjab Regiment.  The cantonment has a large area for training and offices. Mardan once served as a base for British troops, who never managed to fully control the region's Pashtun tribes. Now it is home to the Pakistan Air Force Academy, at the Risalpur air base; and the Pakistan Army's School of Artillery and School of Armor and Mechanized Warfare.

Overview and history

Mardan sits on a plain surrounded on three sides in 2009 by mountains controlled by the Islamic militants. Swat lies just 30 miles to the north, with the main road to that troubled valley running straight through town. Mardan has the feel of a backwater. On the edge of town is rusting ghost of the sugar mill that once powered the local economy. Billboards depict glitzy shopping malls never built.

Mardan has an important historical and geographical position. A region communicating Afghanistan and India in the past, it had witnessed a wonderful history. Alexander the Great reached the valley through Kunar Afghanistan and Swat in 326 BC.This was followed by Buddhism until the 7th century AD. Towards the end of 7th century; the Afghans arrived in the region. They introduced Islam in the valley. Following this Sultan Sabuktagin, Mahmood Ghaznavi, Mohammad Ghori, Mughals until the time of Aurangzeb and Nadir Shah ruled the valley. Then came the Sikhs and finally British Raj until 1947.

As of 1903 Mardan Cantonment in Peshawar District, North-West Frontier Province, was the permanent headquarters of the Queen's Own Corps of Guides. It is also the headquarters of the Mardan tahsll and the Yusufzai subdivision. Population (1901), 3,572. The cantonment is situated in 34°12'N. and 72°2'E., on the right bank of the Kalpani river, 33 miles north-east of Peshawar and 15 miles north of Nau- shahra, on the North-Western Railway. The fort was built by Hodson of the Guides in 1854. The civil lines lay in the southern part of the cantonment on the Naushahra road, and contained the Assistant Commissioner's bungalow, courthouse, tahslll, Government dispensary, and other public offices. An Anglo-vernacular middle school was maintained by the District board. The village of Hoti, from which the station is sometimes called Hoti Mardan, lies 2 miles from the cantonment.

Sheikh Malee was a great Pashtoon Geographer. He lived about 500 years ago and was one of the reliable friends of Sardar Malak Ahmad, a famous Yousafzai leader. In those days Mardan, Buner, Swat and other Pashtoon areas were collectively known as Swat. He was a sincere and an honest man. But he is famous because of the land allocation programme called "Veish" which he introduced in Peshawar, Mardan, Buner, Swat and other areas. He introduced the Unit of the land. He classified Pashtoons into nine major subgroups and the region into nine districts. He wrote a book in nine volumes about his land reforms. This is called 'Daftar e Sheikh Malee' and has been mentioned in the poems of the great poet, Khushal Khan Khattak.

The 5th (Guides) Battalion of the 12th Frontier Force Regiment had Mardan as its normal duty station. In 1857, the Guides formed part of the force that went from the Punjab to the aid of the British locked in a critical combat with Indian soldiers. When the news of the outbreak reached Peshawar, a council of war was at once held and measures adopted to meet the situation. The same night the Guides started on their memorable march to Delhi. On 21 May 1857 the 55th Native Infantry rose at Mardan. The majority made good their escape across the Indus, only to perish after fearful privations at the hands of the hill-men of the Hazara border. Delhi fell to the British on 20 September 1857 after a siege lasting five months. The victorious soldiers fell upon the city and freely indulged in loot and massacre.

The Guides Memorial in Mardan was built by the British in 1892 in memory of their soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defence of Queen's Residency in Kabul on September 23, 1879. This historical memorial was built in the centre of Mardan city. It has three storey building. There is an opening arch in the center of this memorial while on both sides are staircases. There is an influence of Hindu temple on the ground structures, level with suspended leaves in well carved stone works, with marble stones, mouldings which not only support the building but secure it from earthquake shockwaves. The Gothic arches are British architecture like seen in Churches. On the second floor there are open arches from where a major part of the surroundings is visible. On the third stage there are cupolas on each corner of this memorial.

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! I don't know whether you've heard about the new Psalm series that is underway, but I had the pleasure of reading the second book in this series this week—By the Waters of Babylon by Mesu Andrews. What an amazing story! You can check out my review here.
Experience the psalms like never before – through heart-pounding fiction!
But will he be there when she reaches Babylon? Will the prince risk the Scythian throne – and his life – to believe in the Hebrew God?
Can they both find what they seek when they meet the prophet Ezekiel. . . by the waters of Babylon?
I once was a goddess who led a prince to Yahweh.
How's that for a beginning, huh? Wait until you read how it all plays out!

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure how that happened, but I've fixed it now. Happy Friday!
Happy Friday, Katie! My first line comes from Long Way Gone by Charles Martin.
That's definitely a gripping first line!
This book looks good. May be a good fit for my Faith And Fiction Bible Study. Thanks for sharing!
I need to read this! The cover gave me a nonfiction impression and I missed it!

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation under the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme. This is governed by the Motor Accidents Compensation Act (NSW) 1999(MACA) and such claims are overseen by the Motor Accidents Authority of NSW.
This guide will help you decide if you have a claim for compensation, how to make a claim for compensation and the time limits that apply. The NSW Compulsory Third Party Scheme only applies to motor vehicle accidents which occur in NSW.
To make a claim for compensation you must have sustained an injury in a motor vehicle accident.
You need to be able to demonstrate that the driver or owner of a vehicle, other than you, was partially or completely responsible for the accident.
Any kind of road user can make such a claim including a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, motor cyclist, etc.
If you were partly at fault you may still be able to make a claim but the compensation you receive will be less than if you were not at fault at all. Examples of where you may be partially at fault include, not wearing a seat, driving whilst drunk, travelling in a vehicle when you know the driver to be drunk, not wearing a helmet when cycling or riding a motor cycle.
There are three (3) special circumstances where you can make a claim under the NSW Compulsory Third Party Scheme regardless of who caused the accident.
If you are under 16 years of age and a resident of NSW at the time of the accident then you can make a claim for special benefits including the provision of hospital, medical, rehabilitation and attendant care expenses.
If you were injured in a blameless accident you may also be able to make a claim. A blameless accident would include accidents caused by unexplained mechanical vehicle failure, a driver suffering a sudden illness such as a heart attack or an unavoidable collision with an animal on the road. A blameless accident may also be were a pedestrian or cyclist is injured and there is no fault on behalf of the driver of the car.
If you are injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident in NSW as a result of the partial or total fault of an unidentified vehicle or an unregistered vehicle then you may still be able to make a claim against the Nominal Defendant.
You must undertake all appropriate steps by notifying the police and talking to witnesses to ascertain the registration details of the vehicle which caused the accident including placing an ad in a newspaper to see if you can find the details of the unidentified vehicle. This is called due search and enquiry. If you are unable to find out the registration number of the vehicle which caused the accident then you may be to make a claim against the Nominal Defendant.
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in NSW you need to notify the CTP insurer of the vehicle which was at fault.
This entitles an injured person immediately to claim up to $5,000.00 worth of treating medical expenses and/or loss of earnings. You must be able to identify the registration number of the vehicle that caused the accident, have reported the accident to the police within 28 days and obtain an event number.
Once you have completed the Accident Notification Claim Form and sent it to the relevant CTP insurer then the insurer will let you know within 10 days whether they will pay for early treatment expenses.
The loss of earnings is only payable at the end of the six months from the date of accident and only if the claim does not proceed further. The first priority of the insurer is to pay for medical expenses to assist in your recovery. If you recover and have lost only a short period of time off work and this together with the medical expenses is below $5,000.00 then the insurer will pay for your loss of earnings as well.
However if it is likely that your treatment expenses and loss of earnings will exceed $5,000.00 or you do not recover from your injuries within six months from the date of accident then you need to complete a Personal Injury Claim Form.
If your treatment expenses and loss of earnings exceed $5,000.00 and/or your condition has not resolved completely within six months from the date of the accident you will also need to complete a personal injury claim form to receive further compensation. This is in addition to the earlier ANF.
This is a much more detailed form requiring you to advise the CTP insurer as to the details of the accident, the details of the parties involved, the injuries sustained and the loss of earnings you have as a result of the injuries.
Find out the CTP insurer of the vehicle that caused the accident. The Motor Accidents Authority (Ph: 1300 656 919) can give you the name of the CTP vehicles insurer if you tell them the registration number.
Complete a personal injury claim form and send it to the CTP insurer within 6 months from the date of the accident.
The claim form can be detailed and complex to complete and if needed you should seek the assistance of your Lawyer to assist you in completing the claim form.
A personal injury claim form must be completed no later than six months from the date of the accident.
If you do not complete a personal injury claim form within six months (even if you had previously completed an ANF form) then you may not be able to proceed with a claim in the future. You will need leave from the Motor Accidents Authority or the court to proceed with your claim if you have not completed the personal injury claim form and sent it to the CTP insurer within six months from the date of the accident.
You then have a period of 3 years from the date of the accident to either commence a claim in CARS (See Information Sheet on CARS and MAS) or the District Court of NSW, failure to do so may well prevent you from making a claim in the future.
These time limits are very important and should be diarised to ensure your lawyer complies with the time frame. You cannot rely solely on your lawyer to remember these time periods.
Once your claim is received by the CTP insurer they will provide you with a claim number and commence payment of medical expenses whilst they determine if they should accept that their driver was at fault.
Should you have any questions in relation to legal costs please do not hesitate to contact us on (02) 8518 1120 or info@garlingandco.com.au.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:25 A.M.) – The avalanche of gains against ISIS by the Syrian Arab Army across the northwest country's northwest shows no signs of stopping as a new assault kicked off today morning has brought yet eleven more towns and villages back under government control.
On Thursday morning, elite assault units of the Syrian Army's Tiger Forces Division unleashed a renewed attack against Islamic State militants holed-out in Syria's northwest.
Backed by strikes from Russian and Syrian airpower as well as a hefty artillery barrage, elite Syrian troops moved quickly, driving ISIS from the towns and villages of Baskhun, Wadi Jahanam, Abb Khazanah, Rasem Barud, Huwayses Umm Jazan, Huwayses ibn Hadib, Hawas Muhhamed, Rasem Hammam, Abu Kanadiq (the one in northeast Hama, not south Aleppo which was liberated days ago), Rasem Tinah and Rasem Ahmar.
By this advance, the encircled ISIS bastion in Syria's northwest – once over one thousand square kilometers in size and comprising over 100 settlements – is almost totally diminished.
In any case, Islamic State resistance is expected to increase drastically once the Syrian Army corners the many hundreds of terrorists in the pocket down to their last few villages.
What happened to the HTS vermin ?
They took the black flag. Terrorists going forth and back from one terror organisation to another are a usual phenomenon.

Kenny Shields' home town honours the Canadian rock legend with new signage
Nokomis, Sask. is honouring hometown star Kenny Shields, who died last year, with signs commemorating the musician.
Entrance will declare Nokomis, Sask., as 'Home of Canadian Rock Legend Kenny Shields of Streetheart'
Ashleigh Mattern · CBC News · Posted: Sep 01, 2018 6:00 AM CT | Last Updated: September 1, 2018
Kenny Shields was the lead singer of the Canadian rock band Streetheart. He died in 2017 at the age of 69. (Lisa Guliak)
Kenny Shields of Streetheart touched the lives of thousands of people nationwide through his music and this weekend, he's being recognized in his home town of Nokomis, Sask.
The singer died in a Winnipeg hospital last year, though you can likely still hear him belting out the tunes on the radio with classic hits like "Hollywood" or their cover of the Rolling Stone's song "Under My Thumb."
'He was magic': Canadian rock legend Kenny Shields dies
The town already has a display dedicated to Shields in its museum and a painting of him hanging in the local arena. Now signs at the north and south entrance will declare Nokomis as "Home of Canadian Rock Legend Kenny Shields of Streetheart."
The sign will be placed at both the north and south entrance to Nokomis, Sask., Kenny Shields' home town.
Shields' widow Elena Anania travelled from Winnipeg to attend the unveiling of the signs on Saturday.
She says the sign is as much a tribute to his career as it is to his "remarkable spirit."
"It is so much more than his sound of voice. It's about his personality, his presence, and that's what people hear in his music," Anania said.
Kenny Shields, lead singer of classic Canadian rock band Streetheart, has died at age 69. 28:17
Anania said many friends and family have travelled from Winnipeg for the event. She said she'll be taking them to Shields' farm, showing them around Nokomis and taking them to the Nokomis museum to see the Streetheart display.
"Kenny loved Nokomis, his home town; he adored it," Anania said. "And he loved the people in Nokomis, he really does…. It's his town."
'Our small town boy'
Bonnie Decker grew up in Nokomis, her farm only a short drive away from the Shields.
She spearheaded the campaign to have the signs created when she heard of a fan who was disappointed there were none.
"Because he's our small town boy, everybody knows him," she said. "It was kind of an open invitation. Everybody in the community knew when Kenny was visiting and anyone was welcome to stop by and just say hi."

Decker and a small group of people from Nokomis started their quest to raise money for signage last fall but they lost steam over the winter.
Then Don Windsor heard about the plan and stepped in to help.
'What's going up is incredible'
Windsor was one of Shields' closest friends and when he saw that they wanted to put signage up, he felt compelled to help. He started a fundraising campaign on Facebook.
He was hoping to help them raise $2,000, but they ended up raising almost $5,000.
"I think we could have raised $10,000 but there wasn't the need for that," Windsor said. "What's going up is incredible, so I'm happy and I think all the people who donated will be happy, too."
It is so much more than his sound of voice. It's about his personality, his presence, and that's what people hear in his music. - Elena Anania, wife of the late Kenny Shields
Windsor is also travelling from Winnipeg for the unveiling. He said he's excited to spend the weekend with Shields' friends and family. One hundred to 200 people are expected to attend.
"What happens is you turn a sad situation into a fun one," Windsor said.
"The last thing Kenny would have wanted was us to hang around being sad. He would have wanted us to get together and have a good time."

Exploring San DiegoMonth of a Million Meals
Feeding San Diego food distribution site in North County helps fight food insecurity
Feeding San Diego helps struggling families.
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Around 400,000 people in San Diego County face hunger, including one in six children. To fight and end hunger in our county, programs like Feeding San Diego bridge the gap for those facing food insecurity and getting access to donations.
"We were faced with so many decisions of its either food or paying the bills," said Gabriela Sanchez.
Sanchez, a mom of four with a baby on the way, struggled to put food on the table after her husband got sick.
"It was hard to even explain to the kids," Sanchez said.
Now, she is getting the help she needs through Feeding San Diego's program in Oceanside. The program sets up at San Luis Rey Elementary school, one of their distribution sites, so the community can get access to free healthy food.
"It's been a big difference between eating fruit from the cans to eating the fresh fruit and vegetables," Sanchez said.
Donate to Month of a Million Meals
According to Matthew Jennings, Director of Communications at Oceanside Unified School District, access to fresh, healthy food, will help students succeed in the classroom.
"When a child shows up for school in the morning, and their belly isn't hungry and they're not worried about what they are going to each for lunch, students and families are able to focus on their education and on their time together," Jennings said.
Gabriela Sanchez says the food has made a positive impact in her kids' lives.
"With Ivan and Jacob, we've seen so much improvement. They have actually been able to exceed their reading levels, their math levels. They have been able to concentrate more," Sanchez said.
The impact Feeding San Diego's program has had on this family is life-changing.
"They go, mom, you're always crying, and I'm like it's just a blessing," Sanchez said.
Gabriela Sanchez says she is forever grateful.

Jared Leto talks Thirty Seconds To Mars' new songs and "the right time" to release them
Thirty Seconds To Mars have between 150 and 200 new songs, according to Jared Leto…
Kerrang! staff
Earlier this year, Jared Leto revealed that Thirty Seconds To Mars had been able to write "maybe 100 songs" during lockdown – and now that number has seemingly almost doubled.

LOS ANGELES -- Becoming part of Peter Jackson's film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" put a lot of demands on Evangeline Lilly.
She came out of a self-imposed retirement to do the two years filming for the second part of the series, "The Desolation of Smaug," and the series finale, "There and Back Again." She spent weeks on weapons, fighting and dialogue training and hours in a makeup chair daily to give her the pointed-ears look she needed to play the warrior elf Tauriel.
None of that was as important as the one demand Lilly made before signing on to the movie.
"I agreed to the job under one condition. The condition was I would not be involved in a love triangle," Lilly says. "Any of you who are fans of 'Lost,' I have had it up to here with love triangles."
For those who didn't watch the ABC drama about the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious island, Lilly's character was involved in a series-long complicated romance with the island's bad boy, Sawyer (Josh Holloway), and angst-ridden leader, Jack (Matthew Fox).
Lilly was assured there would be a straight line elf-dwarf romance involving her character. But after filming of additional scenes started in 2012, the producers decided that there should be a triangle. When Lilly balked at the idea, screenwriter/co-producer Philippa Boyens pointed out that those pursuing her heart would be played by acting hunks Orlando Bloom and Aidan Turner.
Getting to the romantic part almost never happened because Jackson had a difficult time tracking down Lilly to talk about the role. After "Lost," Lilly decided to step away from acting to spend more time with her new son. She was so far off the grid, the only way Jackson was able to find her was through a friend of a friend.
"What's so strange about retiring at 30? I think that's most people's dream," Lilly says. "I had retired into a life of quiet motherhood and writing. I didn't plan on taking any more acting gigs. Because 'The Hobbit' was my favorite book as a little girl, I jumped at the opportunity."
Lilly did pause when she heard her character is the only one in the film that doesn't exist in the Tolkien book -- and that the addition of the role would make fans hate her. It didn't take long to convince her it was a good character to play.
Though "Lost" presented plenty of physical challenges, nothing compared to the fighting Lilly has to do in the "Hobbit" movies.
She went through five types of training -- weapons, stunt, movement, dialect and language -- to be able to play Tauriel. And there were two types of weapons training so she could handle double daggers and a bow and arrow.
Lilly brought a little background to the archery elements of the character.
"Believe it or not, I used to teach archery to little kids at a kids camp when I was a teenager," Lilly says. "But I am not a good marksman."
Always the director, Jackson jumps in and tells Lilly that whenever she tells that story again, she should leave off the bad aim part.
