The Camas High School boys basketball team lost its lucky charm down the stretch Saturday.
The Papermakers led by six points heading into the fourth quarter, but a 23-9 run by Prairie during those final eight minutes propelled the Falcons to a 51-43 victory in Camas.
"We played hard," said Camas head coach Skyler Gillispie. "In the end, we made too many mental mistakes that Prairie was able to capitalize on and win the game."
The Papermakers looked good in the second and third quarters. Anthony Fallin chased down a loose ball, put it off the glass for two points, drew a foul shot and made it for a 3-point play to tie the game.
Tyler Hallead also snagged a loose ball and put it up for two points. Austin Dubbay drove to the hoop for two, and Austin Vaughan tipped in a miss by Fallin.
Camas led by six points in the second quarter, before Prairie cut it back down to one with a foul shot, a steal and a basket just before the buzzer.
Trent Johnson opened the third quarter by making two foul shots. He then stole the ball and threw it all the way down to the other end of the court before being pushed out of bounds. Fallin caught up to the bouncing ball and put it in the basket for two.
Fallin took the ball to the hoop with reckless abandon several times for baskets, foul shots and a team-leading 15 points. A few times, it looked like he was going to crash into the wall trying to make a shot or keep the ball in play.
"I just wanted to win. Coach told us to be aggressive, so I was just taking it to the hole," Fallin said. "It feels good to be able to get those shots off. I just need to make more of those. Hopefully, they fall the next time when we need them."
Johnson swished a 3-pointer from the wing that gave the Papermakers a 30-22 advantage late in the third quarter. Johnson and Dubbay each delivered 10 points in the game.
"The third quarter was great," Johnson said. "In the fourth quarter, our lack of experience showed. We were rattled, and we lost our momentum."
Prairie nailed a huge 3-pointer with five minutes left the game to get back within one point. The Falcons also converted 10 of their 12 shots from the foul line. Many of those trips came off baskets for 3-point plays.
Camas, on the other hand, couldn't buy a bucket during those last few moments of desperation.
The Papermakers did pick up their first league victory of the season Thursday. They defeated Hudson's Bay 49-33. Dubbay and Johnson both scored 8 points, Fallin and Zach Eagle each added 7, and Kyle Friend and Hallead both had 6.
"We got the monkey off our back, and got the win we needed to get," Gillispie said. "The morale of our team is good. Obviously, there is some frustration. But every game, they go out and play hard. That's all I can ask for.
"We want to take our moments of brillance, be accountable for our mistakes and work on them in practice," he added. "I think that is going to be a big difference for us in the second half of league."

UTMB and UH–Clear Lake to Offer MD–MBA Dual Degree Program
Feb 18, 2016, 10:18 AM by Christopher Smith Gonzalez
From left: University of Houston–Clear Lake President William A. Staples and Dr. David L. Callender, president of UTMB, sign an agreement for a joint MD–MBA dual degree program between the two universities.
Medical students at UTMB seeking to gain an edge with additional management and finance skills will be able to obtain a Master of Business Administration degree at the University of Houston–Clear Lake while working on their medical degree.
The MD–MBA program is geared toward medical students who wish to go on to private or group practice, health system administration or into the fields of biotechnology, health system management or entrepreneurship aspects of health care. Both degrees can be accomplished in as little as five years.
Students wishing to obtain their MD–MBA will be required to take a year off from their medical studies, preferably between their third and fourth years of medical school. Students will not take courses concurrently.The MCAT will be used in place of the GRE for admissions.
"Some physicians decide they would like to have the added expertise that a business degree can provide," Dr. Michael Ainsworth, vice dean for Academic Affairs at UTMB, said. "It might be as simple as having a better sense of the financial aspects of the medical practice. It might be wanting to take a leadership role in a health system, which requires more knowledge of finance."
The dual degree program began accepting applications in January, with courses starting later this summer.
"As a health science center, UTMB doesn't offer these type of classes," Ainsworth said. "We wanted to find someone to partner with and UH-Clear Lake is the closest and most appropriate partner. They have a very high-quality business curriculum so we felt it was only natural to work together."
Dr. David L. Callender, president of UTMB, said the agreement was a good fit for both institutions.
"We wanted our students to have an option to develop additional business skills that will complement their medical professional skills and better prepare them for leadership roles," Callender said. "The students are the winners in this partnership."
The 54-credit-hour program offers medical students a chance to complete some of the MBA classes prior to beginning their medical school studies and to complete other classes in between their third and fourth years in medical school either online or at UH–Clear Lake, conveniently located 35 miles north of UTMB.

I started working at Andiamo! nearly 20 years ago but in fact at that time I was secretary to Marc (our MD) who also had a recruitment company. I then moved on to working fully with Andiamo! and in the early days I managed all of the language training assessments and general administration. When various changes were made the company expanded and I moved into Sales and Customer Care.
I really enjoy speaking to people on the phone and it is always encouraging when thanked for keeping in touch. It is also useful selling a service I know about that I find so interesting!
Have you always been interested in languages?
I guess so! Having lived and worked in Spain, I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy speaking it with friends, clients and anyone else I can find!
You mention living and working in Spain, whereabouts?
I started my 'Spanish' foray with one of the sherry families in Jerez de la Frontera looking after their children and teaching English. After a trip back home, wild horses couldn't keep me away and I returned and found a job in a kindergarten – which turned out not to be for me. However, by chance I met another English girl who was leaving her job as a secretary to the Export Director in one the big sherry companies, I got an interview and got the job where I stayed for the next 4 years!
What is your favourite Spanish phrase and what does it mean?
I quite like the phrase En boca cerrada no entran moscas (lit. flies don't go in to closed mouths), which means 'silence is golden' or 'keep your thoughts to yourself'.
I enjoy swimming, especially in the sea, reading, crosswords and I am currently giving Spanish lessons in the evenings.
Andalusia (of course!) and I do enjoy trips to Cornwall.
Probably to Southern Spain. Actually I'm heading there in 2 weeks! I spend most of my holidays in Jerez – my second home!

What limits the ability of plants to draw water from dry soil?

Scientists solve the mystery of plants' water uptake from the driest soils
What limits the ability of plants to draw water from dry soil? That's the question California State University, Fullerton plant biologist H. Jochen Schenk and his collaborators addressed in a study supported by the National Science Foundation.
The researchers discovered why plants can't function in the driest of soils. They describe their findings in a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The research is important, say plant biologists and physicists, because it explains the limits to growth in drought-tolerant plants in Southern California and drylands around the world. It also helps explain limits to the height of trees such as redwoods.
"We have plants around us that are the most drought-tolerant plants on Earth, and that can pull water out of bone-dry soil to the limit of what is physically possible," Schenk said. "Our paper explains what appears to cause that physical limit."
By means of negative pressure, or suction, plants take in water in the xylem, the plant's hydraulic system, which pulls water from soil.
Some plants, such as hoaryleaf ceanothus, create the highest suctions recorded for any plant in the world, with their roots able to take up water from extremely dry soil.
"The water molecules inside these plants are stretched and normally don't rip apart because water molecules stick together really well," said Schenk. "However, the lipid bilayers in the water are not quite so sticky, so at very high suction they start to come apart, and that's what our study found."
As these lipids (water-insoluble natural substances in plant sap) pull apart, cavities in the xylem grow into gas bubbles that block water movement.
"This study is an example of the power of interdisciplinary approaches -- in this case plant architecture, physics and computer simulations of molecular dynamics -- to solve long-standing questions in biology," said Irwin Forseth, a program director in NSF's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. "The research is also valuable for predicting plant responses to environmental changes that lead to increases in drier soils throughout the world."

Yo-Yo Ma wows a capacity crowd with Palladium recital
Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott displayed fine partnership.
To make for a provocative tweet (and who doesn't do that from time to time?), I previewed Yo-Yo Ma's Palladium recital Wednesday night by noting that he and pianist Kathryn Stott would be playing the Cesar Franck Sonata in A major, which cellists like to "steal" from violinists.
Of course, that facetious dig concealed the fact that the composer approved an arrangement for cello and piano. Thus, the tradition that Ma and Stott followed, thrilling a capacity audience, is both legitimate and well-established. Even better, the duo interpreted the piece in such a way that showcased advantages of this version.
Master of soft playing that he is, Ma held the audience spellbound whenever he moved into that end of the dynamic spectrum. He launched the cello's first-movement theme as an insinuation more than a declaration. Subsequently, with like-minded dynamics from the pianist, the performance walked back the heart-on-sleeve aspect of many violin-piano performances of the work.
This seemed not only a deliberate choice, but also a feature of hearing those wonderful melodies and splendid figuration from a lower string voice. The result restrained the emotional impact that it's natural for the violin to represent in Romantic music. To some listeners, perhaps, this was not the Franck sonata they were accustomed to. But it struck me as refreshing and insightful.
I liked the rush up to the end of the first movement, which stood in more contrast to what had preceded it than usual. Also, the recitative portion of the third movement came across as particularly thoughtful, and the hymn-like cello tune in the "Fantasia" was more balanced, both emotionally and in tonal weight. In the finale, where the cello overlaps the piano's phrases, Ma played daringly behind the pianist's tempo, but not enough to imperil coordination. Again, a sober, reflective quality came through; the excitement was measured and well-distributed.
The performance had a captivating quality of a whole different order from the work's premiere, when the audience urged the dedicatee, violinist Eugene Ysaye, and his pianist to complete their performance despite growing darkness in the concert hall, where illumination was not permitted. They are said to have finished in bravura fashion, having memorized the new piece. It was that kind of enchantment that Ma and Stott provided in a hall with 21st-century lighting in full working order.
After prefixing their performance of a suite called "Arc of Life" with Fauré's "After a Dream" (in tribute to the Paris massacre victims), the duo played Shostakovich's Sonata in D minor. Ma showed his superlative bow control in so many ways, not just in the firmest and lightest touch you're ever likely to hear from a cellist. The staccato main theme of the finale was played near the frog (the end of the bow near the hand that holds it) with a barely detectable motion. It gave an extra suspensefulness to music that eventually shows off the cellist's agility and the duo's gift for projecting that characteristically ambiguous Shostakovich sense of humor.
Heart-stopping melodies, embraced by the two famous settings of "Ave Maria" (Bach/Gounod and Schubert), encompassed as well the sauciness of Jacob Gade's "Tango Jalousie" in the middle. Modern lyricism from a cellist-composer, Giovanni Sollima, set the stage for the Franck Sonata. It's a 2005 piece written for the film "Il bell'Antonio," and is full of delicate yet plaintive slides and portamento links, sometimes in octaves, that only a cellist with exquisite control could manage. A final slow glissando, ascending upward in diminishment to sheer nothingness, signaled as well as anything the rare perfection the recital treated us to.
Ma left his cello backstage for the duo's first curtain call. When he came back with the instrument for a second bow, the roar from the crowd was like something you might hear in a sports stadium. The encore, Edward Elgar's "Salut d'amour," was Ma's salute to his British pianist, who heads back home today upon last night's completion of their tour. Central Indiana clearly felt privileged to wave farewell.

It makes me howl every time I watch it.
How about a battle of the saxes on the subway?
OMG that is TOO MUCH FUN!!! I remember some of those special subway rides, but none like this. Mark are you sure you weren't on that train dancing in the white shirt???
Giulia if only I could dance. I unfortunately was born with two left feet despite my ability to play sports. I will hopefully get back into some dance lessons so I develop that skill again. I am goofy like Mr. White shirt and shades though.
I used to own a ludwig drum kit with 5 toms, a kick drum and a rogers snare. plus a high hat and 7 boom stand cymbals.
Our drummer borrowed a bunch of money and disappeared. I eventually sold it all to a girl at church for $500 because she wanted to play drums in the worship band.
Holy moly....how on EARTH can anyone move in that giant suit that looks like it is made of RUBBER? Not sure if it's a man or a woman but those are some impressive moves and impressive playing.
Your last one, Dale reminded me of these guys for some reason. Have no idea why. Remember them?


On a cold but sunny December day in 2005 I stood in the old ruined Cathedral in Coventry, UK.
I have two photos taken that day; one in the ruins of the old Cathedral and another outside the new. In their contrast and contradiction, they tell one unified story.
The first, is the altar in the old bombed out Cathedral. On the 14th of November 1940 the Luftwaffe blitzed Coventry. One of the victims was its 800 year old Cathedral. Today, where the altar once stood, is a plaque that simply says, "Father Forgive". Above this is a simple wooden cross made from charred beams which survived the conflagration. In front of this stands a board with a simple Litany of Reconciliation, the refrain to which is, "Father Forgive", as well as a small bunch of flowers.
The other image is on the outside wall of the new Cathedral consecrated in 1962. It is of St Michael's victory over Satan by Jacob Epstein. This dramatic sculpture represents St. Michael (meaning "who is like God") a Biblical figure. We see references in Daniel 10:13,21 and possibly Joshua 5:13-15, Jude and Revelation. In Scripture St. Michael is presented as a protector of God's people.
The obvious question is, where was St. Michael on the night the Cathedral was bombed? There is an irony in these two images.
The answer lies at the altar of the old cathedral. The cross revealing Christ's sacrifice for all God's people – both the bomber and the bombed. This is reinforced with the words, "Father Forgive". Brokenness lies at the heart of all of us. It is not the exclusive domain of a culture or nation. George Bush's "axis of evil" comment in 2002, forgets that evil or sin isn't exclusive. It encompasses us all. It is a curse from which we all need to be relieved.
That a cultured country such as Germany could blitz Britain or a civilised community such as the UK be complicit in the razing of Dresden is a reminder that evil is not far off. We see it in Abu Ghraib, in Libya and in our own hearts.
Yes, God does protect His people. For all those who come to faith in Christ there is protection. Not just for a moment or a life time – but eternity. There is a payment for our brokenness and a reconciliation with God.
What sign should we look for that this truth is also ours. I think one sign must be our ability to say, like our Saviour, "Father Forgive".

Abrocitinib FDA Approved for AD
By Linda Stocum, Associate Editor
The FDA has approved abrocitinib for adult patients with moderate to severe AD.
Abrocitinib (Cibunqo; Pfizer), a once-daily, Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor, has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults living with refractory, moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) whose disease is not adequately controlled with other systemic drug products, including biologics, or when use of those therapies is inadvisable.1
The approved recommended doses are 100 mg and 200 mg, with the 200 mg dose recommended for patients who are not responding to the 100 mg dose. Also, a 50 mg dose was approved to treat moderate-to-severe AD in patients with moderate renal impairment (kidney failure), certain patients receiving treatment with inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19, or patients who are known or suspected to be poor metabolizers of CYP2C19, according to the press release. For patients with moderate renal impairment who are not responding to 50 mg once daily, 100 mg once daily may also be prescribed.
"The reality for patients living with chronic inflammatory skin disease such as moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis is that many experience debilitating symptoms that are not managed by current treatment options," said Jonathan Silverberg, MD, PhD, MPH, Department of Dermatology, The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington DC."Today's approval of CIBINQO will provide an important new oral option that could help those who have yet to find relief. In multiple large-scale clinical trials, CIBINQO demonstrated strong efficacy at clearing skin, improving itch, and managing the extent and severity of eczema, offering a benefit-risk profile that supports the use of this treatment in the FDA-approved patient population."
The approval was based on the results of 5 clinical trials from a large-scale clinical trial program of more than 1,600 patients which assessed the safety and efficacy of the treatment in phase 3 trials. Across the trials, abrocitinib demonstrated a consistent safety profile and improvements in skin clearance, extent of disease, and severity, as well as rapid improvement in itch after 2 weeks, for some people living with AD vs placebo. Also, another 2 monotherapy trials found that a higher proportion of subjects treated with abrocitinib achieved improvement in itching at week 12 compared to placebo.
The most common adverse events (AEs), which were reported in more than 5% of patients treated with abrocitinib are nasopharyngitis (12.4% at the 100 mg dose, 8.7% at the 200 mg dose, and 7.9%, with placebo), nausea (6%, 14.5%, and 2.1%, respectively), and headache (6%, 7.8%, and 3.5%, respectively).
"The FDA's approval offers hope to the millions of patients across the U.S. who are suffering daily with an immuno-inflammatory condition that can cause intense and persistent itching, pain, discomfort, and distress if left uncontrolled," said Mike Gladstone, global president of Pfizer inflammation & immunology, New York, New York. "CIBINQO, an efficacious once-daily pill, is a medical breakthrough made possible by Pfizer researchers and the people living with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who participated in our clinical trials."
"Atopic dermatitis is so much more than just a rash, and it goes beyond the surface of the skin. It's a chronic condition that can both significantly disrupt patients' daily lives and negatively impact their emotional well-being," said Julie Block, president and CEO, National Eczema Association, San Francisco, California. "We appreciate Pfizer's commitment to this resilient patient community and eagerly await the positive impact CIBINQO could have on the treatment landscape for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis."

(P3) They are reported to have refused to go home despite the INTERVENTION of the Eritrean AMBASSADOR in Botswana.
(P4) There have been a number of mass DEFECTIONS by Eritrean athletes in recent years.

Why do international sports so often become political?
What is your personal understanding of "human rights"?
What should the STANDARDS for seeking asylum in another country be? For example, that you are in danger in your native country?
Do you have an awareness of the issues in different African countries, or do you think of Africa as a single UNIT?

P^a* Two News Phone 3333 ÎHË ttÜSMVILLÈ (INDIANA) REPUBLICAN Ad Photle 2222 Monday, October 19, 1939. SPORT SLANTS By the Associated Press When Mr. Gilhooley of the Indianapolis Gilhooleys put in an appearance at the Roosevelt raceway, Westbury, L. I., the scene of the 300-mile race on Columbus day, more than half a hundred racing stars of this country and Europe declined invitations to meet the gentleman formally. It's this way: When a racing driver meets Mr. Gilhooley he generally finds himself in the middle of a ditch with what used to be a racing automobile draped around his shoulders and other parts of his anatomy. In the process of becoming tangled, the driver invariably has undergone a most uncomfortable 30 or 40 seconds. "Doing a Gilhooley" made its debut in racing nomenclature during the hectic competition of the Indianapolis 500-miler in 1914. The identical circumstances of that performance will never be repeated. Mr. Gilhooley, whose first name is Ray, has allied himself with the racing team headed by Dave Evans, ironman of Indianapolis, and sponsored by the wealthy Brooklyn sportsman, Mac Hailey. Ray acts as racing agent for Mr. Hailey. Now, a "Gilhooley" at Indianapolis, Roosevelt raceway or any other speedway in this country, is a spin which ends abruptly in a crackup.A driver is not eligible to say he did a "Gilhooley" if he rights his car. He must go through all the motions, including winding up in a convenient ditch. There has been a*iot of discussion as to how the term was introduced into the daredevils' dictionary. known to me, when the tire blew out it had gone with such force that it _blew inside out, wrapping itself securely around my chain drive and locking the rear wheels. Thus, when I accelerated the result was to spin me even more furiously. All in all, my car made six complete revolutions and then went over the fall. I had done the first 'Gilhooley.' "But that's not the end of the story—not by any means. While I was spinning, Eddie Rickenbacker, another race driver then, not the flying hero or speedway official, came along behind me and just avoided the Gilhooley merry-go-round, running down on the safety apron. Old Joe Dawson was not as fortunate. He attempted to get between me and the outside wall but didn't allow himself enough clearance and over the wall he went. Louis Disbrow just managed to get down on the safety apron. When Rick, Dawson and Disbrow had decided where to park themselves, my car picked out a convenient spot to hurdle and over we went. Outside of getting a section of the steering wheel through my shoulder, I hadn't a scratch. Another Honor • Gilhooley, a tall, husky, gray haired man with twinkling blue eys, grins reflectively. "I had another claim to attention in those days," he says. "I drove Barney Oldfield's famous Green Dragon for the last time. This was a specially built job with a 150-horsepower engine that could perk up to 110 miles an hour. I got off to a flying start, over in New Jersey, lest control, went through a fence, turned over and knocked out a fistful of teeth. The front wheels collapsed, and the chassis bowed in, and when they got through 1 ooking for missing parts they decided that the Green Dragon had quit racing for keeps." Stepped On The Gas "It happened on Decoration day, 1914," explains Mr. Gilhoo- | ley. "In that race at Indianapolis I was piloting an Isotta- Fras- chini with a chain drive, a heavy, cumbersome car, but one which, for those days, had plenty of speed. It was in the 105 mile, and I was speeding around the south turn when—bang!—there was a crack like a cannon. I knew there had been a blowout, and felt the car going into a spin. In such a situation, a race driver will accelerate. Down went my foot. Un- PROVES TO )[ IT A Three Days' Cough Is Your Danger Signal No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomul sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed membranes as the germ-laden phlegm Is loosened and expelled. Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.) Chicago (¿P) — The University of Chicago football fortunes, at a low ebb for more than a decade, have suffered another blow in the loss for the season of Ned Bartlett, speedy halfback from Glendale, Calif., who suffered a brain concussion in Vanderbilt's 37-to-0 rout of the Maroons. Bartlett, who has suffered similar head injuries in the past few years, was advised never to play again and his loss robs Coach | Clark Shaughnessy of the player | about whom the Maroon offen- | sive hopes for the season had I been built. | Not since the days of North erns trouble may be brewing and j western's "Hard-Luck Hank" Bruder has injury so wrecked the hopes of a potentially great athlete. Starting as a sophomore, Bartlett, extremely fast and shifty, stamped himself as one of the best open-field runners at Chicago in several seasons. Against Michigan he scored two touchdowns within six minutes and otherwise distinguished himself with hard, accurate tackles and a demonstration he already had acquired the art of blocking. But he never again duplicated this performance. Soon after the Michigan battle he suffered a badly wrenched knee and was of little use for the remainder of the season. In his junior year he sprained | an ankle several times before putting himself permanently on ! the unavailable list by cracking two ribs during one of his rare ! game appearances. Returning to school this fall, i he reported for practice in fine physical shape, but in a preseason scrimmage he injured his hip. Against Lawrence college in the Maroon opener, however, he showed to advantage, breaking away for a 41-yard touchdown ! sprint, scoring another touch; down on a shorter dash and 1 passing for good yardage all aft! ernoon. | Then against Vanderbilt, in the opening minutes of the game, he collided with a teammate in spilling a Commodore. He was in a hospital for several days before being released to learn that further football might prove serious.

CANADIAN STORK CIRCLES HOUSE; MAY BE $750,000 WOMAN, TWO MEN ON TRIAL HERE FOR FOWL THEFT (From Page One) Charles Millar, a bachelor almost to the point of being a misogynist, that he should display such an enthusiastic port-mortal interest in building up the Toronto birthrate? And if Millar had been sincere, why hadn't he been more specific? Why, the stork ruminated, Millar hadn't even cared if the babies lived or died, or even — and this made the stork very sad — if the mothers were married. The stork got to thinking about Mrs. Bagnato down there at 1097 West Dundas. Wouldn't it be nice, he thought, if he could do a little something extra for her this time — twins, perhaps, or more wonderful still, triplets? The best that one baby could do, he knew, would put Mrs." Bagnato in a tie with other mothers for a share of eccentric Mr. Millar's gold. The stork sighed. Twins or triplets appeared out qf the question. He had borne 23 babies to Mrs. Bagnato over the years, but always he bore them one at a time. Not much like that flight he'd made May 28, 1934, to the farmer's wife up Callander way — what was her name? Oh, yes: Mrs. Dionne. The stork threw out his chest just thinking about it. Well, he couldn't spend much more time flying around here doing nothing. He'd heard he and costs, total of $10.55, against each defendant. The court also recommended revocation of Gallimore's driver's license for a year.

Children to discover the value of water with exciting new educational visitor centre
South West Lakes and South West Water are mixing education with enjoyment in a new interactive visitor centre at Roadford Lake, designed to teach children and future generations about the value of water.
The Value of Water centre and dry-weather garden is a partnership project between South West Water and South West Lakes, located at Roadford Lake in Lifton, Devon.
Holding a massive 34,500 million litres of water, Roadford Lake is perfectly located on the border between Devon and Cornwall and is hugely popular with both the local community and tourists, welcoming over 250,000 visitors a year.
As well as being open to visitors at the lake, a South West Water educational and community officer will provide school visits and community talks, giving a hands-on experience for people of all ages, complementing South West Lakes' I Love Water project which provides a wide range of learning opportunities focused on water sustainability.
Teaching visitors how to help combat current and future environmental challenges, the interactive centre promises excitement for children and the whole community. They can explore how South West Water tracks down leaks across the region with use of the latest technology, discover which water-saving hero they are, take a water-saving pledge, and take part in loads of fun activities.
Setting a new standard in the water industry, there's the chance to learn about South West Water's fascinating water history, the global impacts facing water, the amazing and diverse range of people who keep the taps running and toilets flushing, and so much more.
The centre was opened by South West Water's Chief Executive, Susan Davy, who said: "I am thrilled to open our new educational centre. We look forward to welcoming schools and families from all parts of the greater South West.
"We all have a key role to play in protecting the natural environment and the Value of Water centre will teach young people and the future generation about the importance of looking after our precious environment in an entertaining and engaging way."
James Platts, Chief Executive of South West Lakes, said: "I am thrilled to see the new Visitor Centre open to the public at Roadford Lake; by working with South West Water, we have transformed this space into a unique, interactive and accessible centre, which we hope will empower and inspire our visitors to take positive steps towards saving water and, in turn, help to care for our precious environment.
"South West Lakes' charitable mission is centred around enabling current and future generations to engage with the environment in a sustainable and mutually beneficial way, and so we are excited to inspire and educate our communities, a variety of local groups, and visitors on this incredibly important issue."
Our thanks to Truro based ABG Design and illustrator Charlotte Leadley; to Sue Fisher for garden design; R&M Landscaping for landscaping.
We believe engaging with the natural environment enables people to grow. Our reservoirs and lakes are home to many wonderful animals and boast important habitats and built historic sites. We pride ourselves on enabling people of all abilities to enjoy these special locations by providing access both on and off the water. It's your outdoors – come and explore.

On an island such as Kalymnos the quietest and calmest beaches may not be the softest. Kalymnos is a rocky island and most of its beaches tend to be on the pebbly side. If you don't mind that, and need a little remoteness to chill out, try Arginonta beach on the northwest of the island. It's in a small and sheltered cove that hasn't got much in the way of vegetation but has reasonable and good road access. The crystal clear waters combined with the beautiful natural scenery, have made it one of the most famous beaches on the island.
In the area you will find beach bars, taverns, and some accommodation options. Arginonta beach is where the main westbound road from the main port of Pothia hits the west coast between Masouri and Emborio, about 15 kilometres from the port. There are sunbeds and umbrellas for hire, and a view across the strait to the fascinatingly-shaped island of Telendos.

Apology to the Aborigines
Wiliam Barak was an Aboriginal artist and an important cultural leader for Victoria's Indigenous community. After Simon Wonga died in 1875, he took on the struggle to keep the land at Coranderrk. He also worked hard to keep the local Indigenous customs and stories alive throughout his life.
At Coranderrk, where Indigenous ceremonies and corroborees were banned, Barak used his paintings to teach and lead his people, passing on what he knew of Aboriginal history, religion and customs.
His art also showed Europeans the complexity and importance of his peoples' cultural and spiritual life. Barak combined traditional Indigenous materials – like ochre and charcoal – with European techniques and manufactured paints. He was one of the few Indigenous artists in the 19th century who welcomed the chance to experiment with new materials:
His brush and his colours were crude, the colours being pigments from the earth. Notwithstanding this, some of his pictures are to be seen in the museums of Europe.
– Anne Fraser Bon, quoted in The Argus, November 28 1931
Sayers, A 1994, Aboriginal artists of the nineteenth century, Oxford University Press in association with the National Gallery of Australia, Melbourne, Vic.
Although Anne Bon was a friend of Barak's, her use of the biased word 'crude' suggests that materials used in Indigenous art were considered primitive by Europeans at the time.
Barak only painted Aboriginal scenes depicting sacred ceremonies and spiritual stories unique to his people. He focused on two aspects of traditional life: corroborees, and groups of Indigenous people wearing possum-skin cloaks which identified them as Wurundjeri.
Barak's focus on corroborees allowed him to show Indigenous and non-Indigenous people how these ceremonies took place. In 1887, the Victorian Governor, Sir Henry Locke, asked to see a corroboree but the Aboriginal Protection Board wouldn't allow it.
Instead, the Governor was given one of Barak's paintings of a corroboree, which art historian, Anne Fraser Bon claims: 'the Governor accepted and placed on the walls beside pictures by the old masters.'
Barak is one of many Aboriginal artists – including Tommy McRae – who used his artwork to help non-Indigenous people better understand and respect Aborigines and their way of life. But for the people of Coranderrk, Barak's art was also a particularly important link with their culture.

Farmacology: What Innovative Family Farming Can Teach Us about Health and Healing by Daphne Miller
What can good farming teach us about nurturing ourselves?
Family physician Daphne Miller long suspected that farming and medicine were intimately linked. Increasingly disillusioned by mainstream medicine's mechanistic approach to healing and fascinated by the farming revolution that is changing the way we think about our relationship to the earth, Miller left her medical office and traveled to seven innovative family farms around the country, on a quest to discover the hidden connections between how we care for our bodies and how we grow our food. Farmacology, the remarkable book that emerged from her travels, offers us a compelling new vision for sustainable health and healing--and a wealth of farm-to-body lessons with immense value in our daily lives.

The Dirty Life: On Farm, Food, and Love by Kristen Kimball
Single, thirtysomething, working as a writer in New York City, Kristin Kimball was living life as an adventure. But she was beginning to feel a sense of longing for a family and for home. When she interviewed a dynamic young farmer, her world changed. Kristin knew nothing about growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving horses. But on an impulse, smitten, if not yet in love, she shed her city self and moved to five hundred acres near Lake Champlain to start a new farm with him. The Dirty Life is the captivating chronicle of their first year on Essex Farm, from the cold North Country winter through the following harvest season—complete with their wedding in the loft of the barn.
On Behalf of the Family Farm: Iowa Farm Women's Activism Since 1945, by Jenny Barker Divine
"Devine redefines Midwestern farm women's activism after World War II by tracing the subtle and powerful shifts in gender relationships in rural America. On Behalf of the Family Farm brings a fresh look at the complexities of how farm women shaped their organizations, claimed public space, and redefined their identities."—Carolyn Sachs, Pennsylvania State University
Humane Livestock Handling, by Temple Grandin and Mark Deesing
Temple Grandin, North America's most influential advocate of humane livestock treatment, has spent her life developing stress-free facility designs and standards of humane management. In an environment of growing concern regarding large factory-farming practices, Grandin is a voice of reason explaining the benefits of keeping animals calm through every phase of their lives — benefits that include safer working conditions, higher yields of marketable meat, better-quality meat, and, of course, more humane conditions for the animals.
Temple Grandin's systems are quickly becoming the industry-wide standard. No livestock operation, small or large, can afford to ignore Humane Livestock Handling.
Beeconomy: What Women and Bees Can Teach Us about Local Trade and the Global Market, by Tammy Horn
Queen bee. Worker bees. Busy as a bee. These phrases have shaped perceptions of women for centuries, but how did these stereotypes begin? Who are the women who keep bees and what can we learn from them? Beeconomy examines the fascinating evolution of the relationship between women and bees around the world.
Hit by a Farm: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Barn, by Catherine Friend
Farms have fences. People have boundaries. Mine began crumbling the day I knelt behind a male sheep, reached between his legs, and squeezed his testicles. This took place one blustery November day when I joined other shepherd-wannabees for a class on the basics of raising sheep. I was there with my partner Melissa, the woman I'd lived with for twelve years, because we were going to start a farm .
When self-confessed "urban bookworm" Catherine Friend's partner of twelve years decides she wants to fulfill her lifelong dream of owning a farm, Catherine agrees. What ensues is a crash course in both living off and with the land that ultimately allows Catherine to help fulfill Melissa's dreams while not losing sight of her own.
Hit by a Farm is a hilarious recounting of Catherine and Melissa's trials of "getting back to the land." It is also a coming-of (middle)-age story of a woman trying to cross the divide between who she is and who she wants to be, and the story of a couple who say "goodbye city life" — and learn more than they ever bargained for about love, land, and yes, sheep sex.
Sheepish: Two Women, Fifty Sheep, and Enough Wool to Save the Planet, by Catherine Friend
From the author of Hit By a Farm--a "charming memoir...[with]magical moments" (New York Times Book Review)--comes a hilarious solution to the planet's environmental woes: sheep!
The Call of the Farm: An Unexpected Year of Getting Dirty, Home Cooking, and Finding Myself, by Rochelle Bilow
Rochelle Bilow, a classically trained cook and aspiring food writer, was nursing a broken heart and frustrated with her yet-to-take-off career when she set out to write a short profile of a small, sustainable CSA farm in central New York. At most, she expected to come away with a cute city-girl-in-the-country piece. But after just one day of moving hay bales, feeding pigs, and tapping maple sap, she was hooked: The air was fresh, her muscles felt useful, and the smells from the kitchen where the farmhands gathered at day's end were intoxicating.
Add in a sweet but enigmatic young farmer whose soulful gaze meets her own, and "The Call of the Farm" is set in motion. This enticing memoir charts the unexpected year that unfolds as Rochelle immerses herself in life at the farm. She cooks her way through four seasons of fresh-from-the-earth produce (with such tantalizing results as Blistered Tomato Gratin and Crisped Potato Casserole with Shaved Chives), grapples more than once with the finer points of rendering lard, and begins to feel she has finally found her niche--all while falling hard for that handsome, blue-eyed farmer.
Honest, self-aware, and wonderfully tender, "The Call of the Farm" is for anyone who has daydreamed about a simpler life--or fallen too deeply in love.
Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer, by Novella Carpenter
"Easily the funniest, weirdest, most perversely provocative gardening book I've ever read. I couldn't put it down... The writing soars." --The New York Times Book Review
"Captivating... By turns edgy, moving, and hilarious, Farm City marks the debut of a striking new voice in American writing." --Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and Food Rules
"Fresh, fearless, and jagged around the edges, Ms. Carpenter's book... puts me in mind of Julie Powell's Julie & Julia and Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love." --The New York Times
"Carpenter, with [her] humor and step-by-step clarity, make[s] it seem utterly possible to grow the kind of food you want to eat, wherever you live." --Los Angeles Times


It was a perfectly warm night at Theatricum Botanicum. Located on a top of the Topanga Hills, people brought their basket of goodies accompanied by the smoothness of Chardonnay or the down home taste of Heineken beer. On stage, the Senate huddles together to strategize the execution of their fearless leader. The audience immediately put down their warm paninis and cool drinks to focus their attention unto the magnanimous Julius Caesar (Carl Palmer). The Senate acts as if everything is okay in the world, when he's around. The minute Caesar leaves, the Senate gets dirty. Ironically, the mighty Emperor confides in Marcus Brutus (Mike Peebler). Not a good political move but it's not like the Emperor knew his long life friend would later be a part of the group out to get him.
If Julius had to choose a permanent confidante, my vote goes to Marc Antony, who tried to warn Caesar of the plot but was intercepted by the Senate. At this point, Antony is not caught up in the seduction of Queen Cleopatra, so nothing can distract him. But that's another Shakespearian story. Anyways, Caesar lets Brutus in that the Senate is conspiring to kill him. Meanwhile, Caius Cassius, the master mind behind the assassination, also convinces Brutus in join the murder. He refuses.
Caesar has grown cockier in his older years. He believes his own press about being the greatest leader. Meanwhile, looming over the air is his murder will soon take place. Cassius takes over the Senate and he convinces Brutus to join.
The corruption is as thick and muddled as smog in L.A. on a bad day. Ellen Geer directed on what could possible be one of the best productions of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Everything from the costumes, by Val Miller to the fight scenes, choreographed by Stuart Rogers screams award-winning. It's a perfect night having your significant other, or family so the kids can learn history while having fun, good food and wine while enjoying a great, exciting show.
