Yesterday was July 4th. Fireworks everywhere! Poor Ruby was home alone and couldn't watch them. I'm sure she heard them though.
Most dogs are afraid of them. And thunder too. I didn't want Ruby to be. I've heard horror stories about frightened dogs tearing down shower curtains trying to hide. Or frantically getting stuck behind the sofa. Terrible stuff like that.
I decided to be proactive. I needed to know what to do BEFORE the first thunder storm arrived. My neighbor with the puppy wasn't sure what to do either. So I consulted one of my training manuals. The first book I looked at said to ignore it! OMG! Really??? You don't have any better advice than that? I had gotten a lot of support from the book but this just seemed like a lousy idea. I felt like they didn't know what to do either but they had to give the reader something.
I didn't really have a better idea so I figured we'd at least try it. A lot of the other stuff from this book had worked with Ruby… So we waited for the first thunder storm. We had our plan in place. I'm a little afraid in a storm but I knew I had to be the adult here.
Our first storm came with lots of thunder and lightening. I was sitting in the living room and Ruby was reclining in her crate in the kitchen. I was listening and waiting to see what she would do. Sure enough, she came running into the living room after the first loud boom. As planned, I ignored the storm and her. I just kept reading my magazine as if I hadn't heard a thing. I didn't even look at her. Well, if she didn't just turn right around and go back into the kitchen. Alone. Maybe she hadn't heard it either? For the second boom, she didn't even bother to get out of her crate. Obviously if I weren't scared then she wouldn't be. It was amazing. That stupid advice was good advice.
So I wasn't worried about her being alone last night with all the fireworks. I'm sure she just slept in her crate the whole time.

BCC news roundup
Burn, Wolverhampton, Burn!
On December 29 Black Country Communion played their first public gig in the heart of Black Country — English city of Wolverhampton. The setlist was:
One Last Soul
Beggarman
Revolution In Me
Down Again
Too Late For The Sun
Song Of Yesterday
Ballad Of John Henry
The Great Divide
Sista Jane
Black Country**Reprise
—-encore—-
The local paper Express & Star has a rather enthusiastic review of the gig:
The 3,000-strong Civic crowd took up Cannock-born Hughes' battle cry: "I am a messenger, this is my prophecy, I'm going back . . . to the Black Country." From there it was no holds barred as the band ripped through almost all of its self-titled debut album, Hughes continuing to justify his "Voice of Rock" reputation.

In other news, Glenn Hughes have just confirmed another extensive solo tour of the UK scheduled for May. Full details in our tourdates calendar. An exclusive presale is available from 9:00AM January 5th via www.ents24.com. General sale date is set for January 7th available through www.seetickets.com and www.thegigcartel.com.

Crimson Ghost says:
Glenn might surpass a thousand concerts in his career with this. It's kept his voice in shape so there is nothing wrong with that. This is great, Song Of Yesterday is too, excellent! A band that can both use old material and keep up with the times, proven!
Nice to see that GH can still rock out. Sounds like a great time was had by all! Hope BCC can make it to to North America some day.
HZ says:
OK! Go BCC! Great!
Annemie says:
Great voices here,and Glenn once more in splendid condition!!!Also great pleasure to hear him play magnificent on that bass…
Only 'bad points 'for that slacking tempo.
Rock à la Blackmore is the needed speed at all times,tense and high artistic expression in mood and melody.
As many other songs, Burn looses all exciting credits performed so slow.
Still I think they diserve a big applaus, compared with others these days…
And I wish you all a super happy ,rocky, healthy, wealthy 2011 😀
Great!!! But…
Superfaster Fireworks with Mr Lord an Mr Blackmore…
This song needs some more speed…
Nice to hear again 8)
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!CHEERS 😀
purplepriest1965 says:
What a way to end 2010.
Hopefully 2011 finally will bring us some real satisfaction.
Glenn and the boys have shown the way.
HardRockPete says:
Damn, this is something else, isn't it? There's to few bands like this around today. Great line up, great musicians.
Let's hope this band stays together for a long time!!!
stoffer says:
36 years ago I saw DP do Burn on the US tour, this ain't 1974 Purple but its still DAM GOOD!
Jeff Goyen says:
Glenn sounds in good voice here- just the right mix and looks like he is enjoying it as well….good to hear some fresh stuff ( as well as the oldies); take note IG, SM, RG, IP, DA…..FRESH STUFF….

Awesome,Totally AWESOME. Album of 2010 & hopefully the SUPERGROUP of 2011.My New Years wish is for a proper U.S. tour as a headliner or even a support slot and not of the major markets but all nooks & crannies of the states. These guys NEED to get their music out there.Radio is of NO help so the only way is to TOUR! Maybe a immediate second album will spur them on. Fingers XXXXXXXed ,Regards,Drdp
Good version of 'Burn'.
Tommy H. says:
That's a rocking version, no question! Although Glenn sings well on that I felt he could do more. Sometimes he was out of tune, but it's just an encore.
I really find it a pity that the organ sounds so weak at all to my ears! The playing on it is cool, but the sound is too thin and not quite where it belongs in the mix. Everytime I hear BCC I'm very unhappy with that organ. Did anyone join a show and witnessed the opposite?
If not: Crank the hell up that Leslie speaker! It's a shame to watch such a talented keyboard player having such a gay sounding B3 for Christ's sake!
January 2nd, 2011 at 02:23
sup wit de Fender Precision?
Allways great to hear Burn. Well nothing can beat the Black more way of playing this song, but BB seems to be a VERY good alternative. Keep in the set and get to Europe soon with plenta of concerts. You are the thing to music in many many years. BBC is HOT – Whitesnake these years are NOT. Purple – I dont know. They need to produce a first calss Purple ROCK album. NO funne games here – we need Purple to sound like the Purple who created to fame. I know Gillan cant do the Child in Time thing anymore – and that is fine – but the note down and ROCK like only you can.
Hope to see BCC in Israel.

Can someone tell the guys to turn up that HAMMOND?
January 6th, 2011 at 00:35
Hey Tommy, #12 and Priest #16. I thought the same thing the first time I heard the album. it really needs the strong Hammond presence. If you listen hard enough you can hear Billy playing some really impressive stuff but it needs to be on an even keel with Joe's guitar.[Obviously the real signature of the Purple sound] I really love the album and all these videos but I agree. Does anyone else agree with me that Joe came up a little short on Burn? I remember J.J. Marsh doing some really impressive versions of burn. I'm not complaining here because I love this stuff. The album could have come out in the early 70's and fallen right in place with the other great albums of that period. I just hate to hear something this good that could have been put over the top with nothing more than a heavier keyboard mix. Glenn always falls a little too much in love with his voice. [Hard not to] Just remember some of the live shows with his time with Purple. The wheels would frequently run off the tracks. He just knows how amazing his voice is and sometimes colors too far outside the lines. When he keeps in the road there is no one better.
Hi Dawg
You are indeed not the only one who feels that way about Joe doing BURN.
I m not one of them,btw.
I heard it from others.
In general I think BCC is the best thing that has happened to us and other classic rock fans..
Maybe Glenn thinks the Hammond cant be too dominant, trying to avoid the DP connection?
He has this struggle for ages now.
So many times during his solo career he vowed not to DP stuff anymore, but…….He always kept on doing them.
Which I was very grateful for since 1993 because noone else did those songs(justice).
Like with DP after a few years I felt frustrated he did not do enough classics of his own albums.
Man, I almost could not even begin to choose which songs to put on a best of sampler.
If no one disagrees with me then I'm not the only one to whom BCC comes across like a three piece band with the luxury of having a keyboardist with a Hammond organ around just for sound. And that's a waste if you ask me. Either if it's the Purple formula or not to use the Hammond as a lead instrument: it works, doesn't it? Many musicians proved over decades that a Hammond organ deserves more than just making the sound bigger.
@ purplepriest: If the music of the so called super-group BCC was so exciting and extraordinary then why should they fear a comparison with Purple just by putting the Hammond next to the guitar?
Jeff Summers says:
Everyones a critic eh? Even the fans it seems :o(
I SUGGESTED that he MIGHT wants to avoid that comparison.
I did not he DOES.
Its not what you try to state.
I m not sure why the hammond approach is like this.
It just reminded me of things said in the past.
Its obvious that a strong Hammond and leadguitar will often lead to thinking of what other bands did with that.
Maybe the BCC keyboardplayer is not, like Don, a real Hammond player?
Again, I d love to hear the balance a more " Purplish" .
But that would not be enough to make it like Mark 3.
We would be missing Ian Paice, or someone like that, who always puts a lot of swing into the backbone.
Jason is a great drummer, like his dad, but both are to put it very black and white, more bashers than someone subtle as Paicey.
Oh, I forget to mention David.
How great Glenn will be, I ll always that great harmonies what made the twin vocal approach so excellent.
Set aside this wish for more Hammond, the SONGS are so good that I forget that wish most of the time.
@ #21:
I understood what you said at #18. Don't get me wrong, I just thought no matter if you're suggesting it or not: Why should Glenn or BBC avoid competition? They're making really good music. So it doesn't matter that a stronger Hammond will remind the people of other successful bands doing it like that. To me it's absurd to decline something which has worked out really well for generations of musicians.
"Maybe the BCC keyboard player is not, like Don, a real Hammond player?"
I had the same thought. It just doesn't make sense to me to form a band which has a focus on Hammond, apart from other things, and then choose a keyboardist who isn't a real Hammond player! I heard that especially Glenn wanted a Hammond organ player to be part of the band. I'm sure Derek can play really well. But to have a decent sound doesn't necessarily have anything to do with talent in playing.
I totally agree with the rest.
And not to cause any misunderstanding in this forum: To me it's just their keyboard player and his main instrument which don't get the attention they deserve. And his sound could be better, no comparison to Don Airey who really plays a beast! Maybe I go too far when I feel that BBC could do it without a permanent keyboard player. But the picture above says a lot. The keyboardist is far in the background and when you come to see a picture from a show where he is on it seems like an accident. Let me be clear: The music is the best I heard from a rock band in years! They recorded an outstanding first album, especially the singing on it is absolutely awesome! Glenn does what I think very few if any can do with their voice. But I don't want to rise him too far above the others. The band is truly amazing!
Tracy Heyder (aka Zero the Hero) says:
Damn,
Why can't the drummer play more like Paicey??
Why can't the guitar sound more like Ritchie??
Why can't the Hammond sound more like Lordie??
Are you all MADDDDDDD???? In case you haven't realized, this band is called 'Black Country Communion', NOT Deep Purple MK3!!!!
For the love of God, will any of you ever stop begging for something that isn't and be happy with what is??
Want to hear Burn sound like a MK3 version?? Listen to the Album..Deep Purple Burn. Or 'Live in London', or whatever.
Here is a Fresh New Version of a song you have all heard a million times by now, except it sounds different than the original…
KNOW WHY???? It's a DIFFERENT BAND. Those Other guys you wish to hear aren't playing in this band.
Holy Crap what imbeciles….
January 10th, 2011 at 21:06
Hey Mister Mad
I did not say that I feel shortchanged with BCC, you could already know that through my earlier posts,and longing for MK 3.
I was trying to find a reason why the Hammond is so down in the mix.
Really enjoying this lot does not exclude that I can speak out that I in general refer " some other instrumentalists" like Paicey.
As long Glenn does not go into overdrive too much, WE ALL KNOW WHAT MEANS, I dont miss David at all.
Espescially not, knowing he has troubles live nowadays.
We nutty people on boards like this just fantasize alot, why not?
Its very tempting to fantasize about more Hammond, adding a DC in good shape and so on.
Btw, one correction maybe :
I used to see Don as mainly a synth man but I must admit he has done a good job soundwise in the band.
Still, he aint no Jon.
Take it easy but your complains don't fit to the subject of discussion above! No offence intended, ok? 😉
Again: BCC is a band of outstanding musicians and I really like their album. It has many cool moments and a nostalgic "70ies-feel" to it. I'm just of the opinion that a better and louder sounding Hammond would be an over all improvement to their music. It's obvious that there is a lot of potential if they'll choose to change the balance of sound in favor of the Hammond organ. But of course it depends on how the artists themselves want to sound like. As a listener it's a thorn in my side that everything fits unbelievably well till the moment where a Hammond would put it over the edge. But this moment doesn't come – it's like making love to a girl and stopping right at the point of no return, you know what I mean? 😉
I think it is apparent, they are not trying to emulate the Purple Sound. Thankfully they don't as far as I'm concerned. If I want Hammond, I know where to find it. They are in control of their own sound and mix. I think it works well. Yeah, if this was a Purple Album or performance, I would be stating the same thing. Where is that full Hammond sound?? But IT'S NOT PURPLE. Plus, he ain't even playing a Hammond. Know Why???? It Ain't Deep Purple.
As far as your reference to making love to a girl. If I whip out my Organ, it will be used and job will get done. But, it will not be based on a comparison to Deep Purple's Hammond Sound. More like the massive sound of Cathedral Pipes at the end of a massive sermon….."HALLELUIAH!!!!"
Rascal says:
Im glad BCC seemed to have developed their own sound.
This isnt a tribute band (hello JLT), this seems to be an attempt to create something new.
Good to hear Burn – Joe has a great talent – anyone remember when Blackmore had a similiar talent? So long ago now i forget!
Actually Derek is playing a THE Hammond (B3) with tube Leslie, I guess a 122 or 147. Pushing the Hammond a little further has nothing do with emulating the Deep Purple sound. Purple isn't the only band where a Hammond organ plays a big role. I don't wish that BCC copies the sound of Deep Purple. And excuse me, it's indeed BCC's sound mix which could be better, that's what I'm talking about. That's why I thought, it wouldn't do much difference if the organ wasn't there. It proves to me that I'm right if you didn't know that B3 is part of their sound – because you didn't recognize it at this low volume. So it's my constructive criticism that a better balanced sound mix would help the overall sound to get a lot better.
If I only had known … 😉
Cheers, buddy
Actually Tommy H…
I believe they are purposely shying away from the Organ sound as a prominent focal point. The Keys were an afterthought. Personally, I would rather they just do the 3 piece thing and just jam it up right with Joe crankin' out some of his Blues based guitar instead of watering it down with the same old Purple/Organ sound. That's for Purple. They could be the next Cream or Grand Funk if they would just get out there and jam it up right and not relate themselves to Purple. Throw in whatever songs from the past they like, but do it THEIR WAY along with jamming THEIR OWN tunes. I say get rid of Derek and just crank out some solid Bass, Guitar, Drums and Vocals……
That's what I discussed a few entries above at #22. Why should they avoid competition? Their songwriting is good, the music is really fine, they are very accomplished musicians – no reasons to be shy, if you ask me. I said that Deep Purple isn't the only band where a Hammond plays a big role. On the other hand I would enjoy far more bands if they had a Hammond. I simply like that special sound very much. Hearing that a new band called BCC of very good musicians, especially Glenn Hughes, forming a rock band and having a Hammond really made it very interesting for me.
And I wasn't disappointed by the music. I like their tunes. I've been disappointed that BCC unnecessarily is one of many bands where the keyboardist's parts are playing intros and backing up the sound. They stand for a stereotype with the message that keyboardists, no matter how good they are, don't get the guitar player's attention. This makes me think that more and more the times, where great keyboardists are playing in hard rocking bands in the same limelight as lead guitarists, are over. I also felt that a good counterpart to the very talented Joe Bonamassa would bring them into far higher spheres which a three piece band wouldn't be able to reach. That doesn't mean they should copy Deep Purple but who said that anyway. Does Deep Purple own the Hammond-guitar-duels-rights? Wouldn't it be interesting to witness a friendly duel between Derek and Joe?
I m so glad I have albums by Glenn he made around 2000.
"Songs in the key of rock" and "Return Of Crystal Karma" for example)on which he chose deliberately for a Lordish MK 3 Hammond sound on top of the sound.

Svante Axbacke says:
I agree with Tommy H. DP was indeed not the only band in rock history to feature a Hammond organ. And I'm also confused why the Hammond isn't featured more in BCC.
No matter if you try to sound like another Hammond band or not, if you choose to carry around a heavy Hammond organ in a rock band, you are making a statement, looking for a certain sound. Then to not feature that sound is very confusing to me. You could just a well then make life easier for everyone and use a synth instead, or leave the keys player at home.
Someone should maybe try to send BCC producer Kevin Shirley a mail about it and ask. He frequently answer mails from fans.
Though I do love the Hammond sound also…..Deep Purple is my Favorite band since 1970. I also give credence to those whom don't use it. Also, though I am an old foggy at 54 years old, I do hang with many 20 year olds. Sorry to state here, but today's younger crowd finds the 'Organ' of any type to be….Old Hat. Not me, just reflecting on what I constantly hear from the younger crowd. So, being that I do have my own convictions and tastes, I also pay into the present realm of music appreciation. It doesn't change my taste or love for what I like, it just gives me a window into what the younger 'idiots' find tasteful to their musical pallet…….
Therefore, I get why BCC is toning down the Hammond. It's there for those whom want it, and NOT for those whom find it 'ancient'…..
BCC is trying to compete in TODAY's Market. Only the Hard Core Purple 'Pinheads' will diminish what they are trying to do.
"HardCore Purple PinHeads".
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?????????????
I am all in favour of reinstating a big Hammondsound where possible.
Its not old fashioned or soemthing like that.
IT S TIMELESS.
We have seen what happens when DP chose deliberately to circumcise their old 70 s sound, shortening their live renditions.
Bands that did stick to their guns and REAL fans almost nothing changed to their sound and WON..
Think Iron Maiden.
talking about Maiden…..
I ve watched many pro shot dvds coming from all over the years.
Their, and I espescially single out Bruce Dickinson, performance is so much more stable than DP s, its a shame and disgrace!!!!!
I know you dont really care for long renditions live but also belittling the Hammond?!
Pffffffffffffffff
You are 30 years older than me and I got to say to you that those youngsters you are referring to seem to have a poor taste in music and/or sound. Trust me, a Hammond organ and a piano will never come out of fashion.
The next time you visit a music store, please take a short look at the keyboard section. A lot of well known companies discovered that there is a big market out there for real instruments from the 50ies, 60ies and 70ies. Those keyboards just sound right and have balls. This is what counts! You can still buy Hammonds, Leslies, Moogs, Fender Rhodes pianos, etc.
A few months ago I tested a Hammond C3 together with the same rare Marshall Major amp from the early 70ies which Lord (and Blackmore) used. It was fully cranked up. Goosebumps, what an outstanding sound! For a little while I thought that all other keyboards on earth can go to hell. It would be very interesting what those youngsters would say after such an experience.
As usual here, when one has His Personal Taste, he is incapable of seeing or understanding anyone else's.
I use the term "Hardcore Purple Pinheads" in description of those whom seem to be totally fixated on Pinhead Size faction of Purple, and expect All things Purple to be the same.
The Hammond Organ is Music to MY EARS. I totally love it. I totally love Purple using it. Purple wouldn't be Purple without it. I GET THAT. All bands that use it are welcome in my book. All bands that don't are also. Just because BCC happens to be a 'Purple Spin-off, those whom are 'Purple Pinheads' then expect the Purple Sound…..as I stated, I have been a Purple fan almost since their inception. I have seen every MK "live' except for MK1, Many Times and hope to see many more. I would be totally Pissed if they decided to go on in the future with the Hammond. That would be total Blasphemy. The Hammond is as important an instrument to me as it you, trust me. But I also get the fact that not All Bands need it nor should use it.
My reference to Today's Youngsters is unfortunately true though. The Majority don't seem to enjoy the sound of the Organ as much as WE do. I've heard it countless times. They find it to be Old Hat and relate to Old Music. The younger crowd wants what they want, just as we wanted what we wanted. I'm stating I agree with their opinion or taste in music, I'm just stating I get it and again, it doesn't effect My taste in music. It Does however, effect the Following of a band. BCC is BCC, Not DP. They want BCC fans. If they chose the Hammond to be more prominent, that would be fine with me, but I do get the reason why they didn't. Just I get the fact that Purple is Purple without Blackmore. The Players in the band are the Players in the band. You are just the listener. Don't like the sound of what you hear??? Change Bands. You're like the chic whom dates the guy for years and accepts him until she marries him, then expects him to change to what she really wants instead of just finding the Right One to begin with. Just as with people, there are tons of bands out there. Want the Deep Purple sound?? Listen to Deep Purple. Listening to a band and wishing they sounded like something else makes no since.
February 2nd, 2011 at 17:52
I already got your point and I respect it. The funny coincidence is that I had a very similar discussion about the taste of today's younger folks in music. My opinion is that there's no such thing like a contemporary taste. It's more like a parallel coexistence of pretty much everything that happened during passed decades. That being said …
The 60ies and 70ies were a flowering time regarding rock. There was so much freedom and innovation in the music. Just think of Jimi Hendrix or Vanilla Fudge. That doesn't mean that since then nothing has happened but the very special spirit of it is nearly entirely gone which is really sad. Whenever there was a Hammond organ around there were so many people who wanted to hear it and appreciated its sound. To me the sound still is what it was back then – one of the best there is. But as you rightfully stated, it has lost appreciation to a certain degree. This has nothing to do with its sound per se but rather with the fact that there are so much keyboards on the market that the Hammond isn't a save choice anymore. Jon Lord himself said that he wouldn't know what to start with if he had started playing nowadays. On the other hand it's very difficult to think of a young rock keyboard hero to look up to as a young musician. Back in time we had Keith Emerson, Ken Hensley, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman and many others to name. I recently went to some gigs and band contests to watch a few different bands. Nearly every keyboardist I saw had a very offside position on stage. What you saw was very similar to what you heard in the sound mix. To me that's a worrisome development.
I understand your point that not every band needs to have a Hammond organ. But those who use one and play hard rocking music should use it right. This hasn't necessarily anything to do with Purple alone but with the spirit where the music comes from.
A band like BCC should simply come up with a heavier keyboard mix because it fits to their music. I don't want them to sound like someone else but they wouldn't either by just changing this detail. On the contrary they would sound a lot better, not because I'm a Purple fan but because it would have a positive impact on their music. That's as far as possible my objective opinion as a listener and we're talking about a hard rock band where playing loud is an almost natural behavior if you want to feel anything and have an impact on the audience. Speaking of the audience: as a BCC fan I want to hear the FOUR musicians on stage and not just three of them!
February 3rd, 2011 at 02:27

One of the examples of why HAMMOND is NOT uncool!!!!!
February 4th, 2011 at 13:05
I concur with you regarding hearing the musicians in the band. If the Keyboard player is there, use him. Or as I stated earlier….remove him. Personally I'd prefer the later……I can always listen to Dream Theater if I desire to hear him play..

Thought of the day: THE FINAL OBSTACLE IS US. Dear Ones – Almost every nig…
by Elizabeth Gilbert | Dec 22, 2013
Thought of the day: THE FINAL OBSTACLE IS US.
Almost every night on book tour this year, I ended up talking about this subject with the audience. My audiences are pretty much composed entirely of women (though I love you, too, my emotionally-secure men who dare to come to my events!) and invariably there would be a woman in the crowd who would stand up and ask how to get courage to….well, whatever. To write her book, to change her life, to travel alone, to endure her sorrows, to leave her toxic relationship, to start her own business, to stand up for herself.
And I would end up saying something along these lines — that it is down to us now. There has never been a better moment in human history than RIGHT NOW to be a woman. While there are still huge stretches of earth where the lot of womankind remains trapped in subjugation, the industrialized modern western world is the best environment women have ever had — the best and only shot we ever got at full personhood. The life that I was offered, in compassion to the lives of my great-grandmothers, is so radically different that I might as well be a new human species altogether. I am a female with biological, political, financial and emotional autonomy. Such a thing was never heard of before. Ever.
Could things still be better for women? Yes, of course, and I fight for that, as we all must. Do we have perfect parity yet? Maybe in Sweden, but certainly not everywhere. Is there still discrimination and stupidity? Sure. Will there always be? Probably. But you guys, NOBODY in womankind ever had a better chance to manifest their own lives than us, RIGHT NOW.
But the last obstacle is us. Many of the big external obstacles (political, legislative) have been cleared for us by the great and brave women who came before us. We stand on their shoulders and should be grateful. But now we are left to battle the lingering prejudices in our own minds that say we are not worthy — not good enough, not strong enough, not talented enough, not brave enough. That our voices are not important, that we shouldn't raise our hand, that we shouldn't ask to lead the project, that we shouldn't run for office, that we don't deserve a promotion, that we can't set boundaries, that we can't have a child alone, that we can't support ourselves, that we can't defend our vocations, that we can't apply for that grant or that graduate program, that we shouldn't speak up and say, "No, let's do it my way." That we aren't perfect yet, in other words, and therefore we must hold ourselves back.
And while it's understandable that about a billion years of being beat down would keep a woman believing she is imperfect, we REALLY have to get past that obstacle in ourselves. Because I've said it before and I'll say it again: Imperfection never stopped men from putting themselves forward! SO DON'T LET IT STOP YOU!
Get out of your own way, women. It's time. And nobody can do this part for you. No act of congress (no social or political legislation) can get you out of your own way. Gloria Steinem can't get your out of your own way, and neither can Oprah, Brene Brown, Martha Beck, Hilary Clinton, your uncle's dog, your mother's cat or me.
Don't wait to be rescued or discovered by anyone, and for heaven's sake, don't wait to be given permission from the principal's office to take full ownership of your own destiny. You gotta do it yourself.
Step forward out of your own lingering residual sense of smallness, take up every inch of life that is your blessed inheritance, and DO YOUR THING.
It's down to us now — down to you.
Never been a better moment than right now.
Get on it, my friends. For real.

BBB Fantasy Baseball Preview (8/7-8/13)
By Andrew Natalizio - August 07, 2017
This week, the Yankees head to Toronto for a three game set with the Blue Jays before returning home for a massive three game set against the first place Boston Red Sox. Last week saw the Yankees struggle offensively, but they were able to salvage a series split against the Cleveland Indians after pulling out victories on both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. All in all, the Yankees went 3-4 last week against Detroit and Cleveland and will look to rebound this week as they set their sights on first place. Last week's stars included Chase Headley, Didi Gregorius and the bullpen, who, as a unit, were honored as MLB's bullpen of the week after allowing just four earned runs and 15 hits over 21 and two-thirds innings of work, racking up 27 strikeouts against only three walks. Aroldis Chapman recorded two saves.

This week's matchups:
Monday 8/7: OFF
Tuesday 8/8: CC Sabathia (9-4, 3.81 ERA) vs. JA Happ (4-8, 3.92 ERA)
Wednesday 8/9: Masahiro Tanaka (8-10, 4.93 ERA) vs. César Valdez (1-1, 7.63 ERA)
Thursday 8/10: Sonny Gray (6-6, 3.41 ERA) vs. Marco Estrada (4-7, 5.12 ERA)
Friday 8/11: vs. Boston; pitchers TBD
Saturday 8/12: vs. Boston; pitchers TBD
Sunday 8/13: vs. Boston; pitchers TBD
Jordan Montgomery was optioned to triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre yesterday, so I would expect to see the Yankees line up Jaime Garcia, Luis Severino, and CC Sabathia for the Boston series. With the Red Sox using Chris Sale and Rick Porcello during a short two game series in Tampa this week, coupled with off days today and Thursday, I would expect them to use Eduardo Rodriguez, Drew Pomeranz and Chris Sale. Boston purposely held Sale out of the four game series against the White Sox so he would be lined up to start on Sunday against New York. Boston will likely push Doug Fister's start back to Monday.
Players to start:
Didi Gregorius
The Yankees' shortstop is the easiest must-start on this team right now as he continues to do it all both at the plate and in the field. Gregorius started six games for New York this past week and hit .400 (10-for-25) with one home run, two doubles and four runs batted in. He also just missed his second home on Saturday night, hitting an RBI double off the very top of the center field wall.
Didi cleans up in the cleanup spot!

Dellin Betances
Few have been as harsh a critic of Betances' as I have over the past two months, but the big righty looks absolutely locked in right now and is worth starting in your lineups this week. Last week, Dellin threw three scoreless innings, striking out six (including an immaculate inning) against just one walk. Over his last five appearances he has gone six innings without allowing a run, has struck out ten, walked three and opposing batters are hitting just .100 (2-for-20) against him.

Chad Green
With the Yankees' bullpen being the main stars this past week, it's only fitting to highlight two of the most standout performers. Chad Green only appeared once this past week, relieving Jaime Garcia on Friday night, but was brilliant out of the 'pen. Green tossed 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit while striking out five without issuing a walk. Green has been remarkably good all season, and sports a 1.32 ERA with a 0.73 WHIP and an incredible 25 strikeouts over just 13.2 innings pitched in the season's second half. For category leagues that count ERA, WHIP and strikeouts, Green is a steal and is more than likely available. Go out and get him.
Players to sit:
Gary Sanchez
It's no secret by now that Sanchez is struggling mightily both behind and at the plate. Sanchez leads the league in passed balls and is coming off an atrocious week in which, despite cracking his 17th home run of the year, he hit just .200 (4-for-20), with only one walk and six strikeouts. Sanchez has shown a concerning lack of discipline at the plate lately, frequently chasing pitches way out of the strike zone. Joe Girardi told the media that Sanchez would be starting behind the plate yesterday against Cleveland, and instead was benched. There might be more to this story that hasn't yet been released so for now I'm holding him out of my lineup.

Jacoby Ellsbury
Ellsbury appeared in six games for New York this past week, starting in five of them, and failed to produce much beyond a fluke bases-clearing triple in yesterday's win (Abraham Almonte looked to have lost the ball in the sun). For the week, Ellsbury hit just .235 (4-for-17) with two strikeouts and two walks. With Aaron Hicks possibly due back by the weekend series against Boston, Ellsbury's time in the field will become more and more limited. Hard pass here.
CC Sabathia
Admittedly, this last one is a bit more cautious than the others, but I'm a bit concerned using Sabathia this week, who should get two starts, against the potent lineups of the Blue Jays and Red Sox. Sabathia looked better in his lone start last week, rebounding from two early home runs to give the Yankees six innings. However, since returning from the disabled list on July 4th, Sabathia has gone 2-2 with a 4.88 ERA, walked 13 men, and sports an ugly 1.375 WHIP. The big man has done well against Boston this year (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.857 WHIP, 14 innings pitched), but struggled against Toronto (1-1, 7.62 ERA, 1.692 WHIP, 13 innings pitched).
Gray had mixed results in his Yankees' debut Thursday night, but all in all looked pretty solid against a potent Indians lineup. So why am I cautious about starting him this week? Simply put, the Toronto Blue Jays have very good numbers against him. Jose Bautista is 6-for-15 (.400) with one home run, Josh Donaldson is 3-for-8 (.375) and both Ezequiel Carrera and Russell Martin are 3-for-9 (.333) when facing Gray. Gray took the loss in his most recent start against the Blue Jays on July 25th while still with Oakland, allowing four runs (all unearned due to Gray's own fielding error) and five hits over six innings while striking out nine.
Chase Headley
The Yankees' first baseman has looked very strong at the plate since the All Star break, but it remains to be seen how long he can sustain this success. We've seen hot streaks from Headley before, but they are almost always followed up with some brutal stretches. With the Yankees offense in shambles right now, they can ill afford to lose the production from one of their more consistent hitters. Headley started all seven games the Yankees played in last week and hit .308 with one huge home run and four runs batted in.
AP Photo/Phil Long
Judge is still striking out at an alarming rate (10 times in 20 at-bats last week), but he quietly recorded a hit in five of the six games he played in last week, with two of the five hits leaving the yard. After seeing his batting average plummet to start the second half, Judge has hovered around the .300 mark for the last few games and seems to be seeing the ball a bit better of late. Obviously he needs to start squaring up the ball more and needs to cut down on his chase rate, but this week provided some promise that maybe, just maybe, Judge is starting to right the ship. For a Yankees squad that is desperate for his impact production in the middle of their lineup, this would be a huge development for the team heading into one of their biggest stretches of games for the entire season.

Trudeau-appointed task force proposes solutions to address fear, anxiety and mistrust among coal workers
By Carl Meyer in News, Energy, Politics | March 10th 2019
#22 of 27 articles from the Special Report: Canada's Clean Economy

There is mistrust and suspicion of government intentions. There are fears about devastating impacts to communities. There's anxiety over whether officials can deliver on promises. And there's frustration with being disparaged as dirty.
These are some of the stark assessments from the thousands of workers in coal mines and coal-fired power plants across Canada that were captured by 11 experts appointed by the government almost a year ago.
The special task force was launched by Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna on April 25, 2018 to investigate how to fairly provide for these workers as their livelihoods are taken offline over the next decade.
They delivered their findings in a 41-page report that recommends federal spending "well into the hundreds of millions of dollars" on a long list of new infrastructure, financial and jobs programs, employment training and other solutions.
As part of its research, the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities toured seven facilities, visited over a dozen communities and met with workers and others across the four provinces where coal power is still used: Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Their recommendations include a "pension bridging program" for workers who will retire earlier than planned due to the phase-out. This program would provide a "financial bridge to retirement without compromising workers' earnings and retirement benefits," the report stated.
They are also recommending a jobs program to provide affected workers with employment insurance benefits of up to 75 per cent of income for two years, and wage top-ups of up to 90 per cent of previously-earned income for up to two years for workers that get lower-wage jobs.
Other recommendations include funding for continuing private healthcare coverage, for education and skills building and to offset the expense of travel or relocating for new employment.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, McKenna thanked the task force and said she was reviewing its conclusions. "Phasing out coal is a necessary step to ensure the health of Canadians and the protection of our environment," she said.
"At the same time, the government of Canada needs to support workers, families, and communities who rely on coal through this transition. Canadians are at the centre of Canada's climate policies, which is why the work of the task force is critical to ensure a successful transition."
'Lack of confidence' driving 'anxiety and fears'
Following a similar announcement in Alberta in 2015, and the closing of all coal plants in Ontario in 2014, the Trudeau government said in 2016 it was moving to eliminate coal power nationwide by 2030.
Canada put new regulations into effect in December 2018 that raised standards on the 15 coal plants still operating, to the point that almost all cannot continue. Plants must either close, convert to other fuel sources like natural gas or capture their pollution like the Boundary Dam plant in Saskatchewan.
Coal plants produce significant amounts of air pollutants like sulphur dioxides and mercury, create acid rain and smog and raise the risk of asthma. Burning coal is also one of the largest sources of carbon pollution that leads to climate change.
But phasing them out will have significant effects on nearly 50 communities that have nearby generating stations or coal mines that supply them. Not only will roughly 4,000 workers be directly affected, the towns and businesses that have come to rely on them will also take a hit.
A significant portion of the workforce is over the age of 50, the task force found, with many in the second or third generation in their family to work in the industry. Older workers feel vulnerable in the job market, "often having not applied for a new job in decades." Many are "frustrated that the coal sector is not only being phased out but also disparaged as 'dirty.'"
Previous industry closures that led to sudden or unexpected job losses have left emotional scars, and many believed they were making a responsible decision to work in the coal industry because electricity generation is seen as stable, long-term employment. As a result, workers, families and communities are worried that without careful planning, " they may face devastating impacts" again.
"Coal workers and community members have many questions about when, if, and how the coal transition will affect them personally as well as professionally. Furthermore, many expressed sincere doubt about the ability of government to support them through a transition, and mistrust of government's intentions and capabilities," reads the report.
"Given worker and community suspicion of government, some representatives called for ongoing external oversight and advice. A lack of confidence, given past transition failures, is driving anxiety and fears that the government will not deliver on just transition."
The task force wasn't asked to examine a potential transition in Canada's oil and gas sector — an industry that would also be expected to shrink dramatically if the world succeeds at preventing the worst impacts of climate change, according to the International Energy Agency.
The Trudeau government has not yet announced any transition plans for Canada's oilpatch.
'Deliberate' choice to avoid overall dollar figure
The government's 2018 initial commitment of $35 million to kick-start the coal phase-out "should be the beginning of a longer plan," the group concluded in their report.
"Based on what we heard, the direct and indirect costs of the phase-out will stretch well into the hundreds of millions of dollars and the timeframe will go beyond 2030," they wrote.
"While there are opportunities to re-prioritize, reallocate and dedicate some existing funding, including for infrastructure, achieving a just transition will require additional and more substantial investments in Budget 2019 and budgets thereafter."
Lois Corbett, executive director of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick and a co-chair of the task force, said in an interview that the group avoided publishing an overall dollar figure, because they found every community was facing unique challenges and would have to develop customized strategies.
"For the task force to say, 'Here's your recipe, get out and bake your pie,' would have been the wrong thing to do," said Corbett, who chaired the task force alongside Canadian Labour Congress President Hassan Yussuff.
"It's very hard to say — and in fact we're quite deliberate — in not coming up with a one-size-fits-all approach."
She said she had "confidence" that there will be some new financing for the coal phase-out in this year's federal budget, due to be unveiled March 19. "Like most of us watching the federal budget, we're in that wait-and-see place."
Ottawa is already investing billions of dollars to mitigate and adapt to climate change, the task force noted.
"If the government is strategic with these existing funds and commits to new support extended over the several years of transition planning, affected workers will see new economic opportunities in their communities that can employ and sustain them, their families, and their neighbours for years to come."
Transition centres could help lessen anxiety
One of the central concerns heard by the task force was that workers are unable to plan for their futures due to a lack of details about potential support from the government. Timely and accurate information helps reduce anxiety, they said, and gives workers confidence when they make decisions affecting their families.
"I think one of the points that hopefully comes across in our advice to the federal government, is that it's much better to plan for the transition than have it thrust upon you," Corbett said.
The task force said it learned that locally-run transition centres are an important resource, serving as a hub where information on re-employment and skills training can be shared, connections can be made and education and financial services offered.
One of the group's recommendations is for Ottawa to work with "provinces, municipalities, regional organizations, employers, and unions" to establish these centres before job losses kick in, and keep them open at least two years after the phase-out.
The group also recommended including provisions related to the coal phase-out in federal-provincial agreements, such as equivalency deals under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, as well as bilateral labour and infrastructure agreements.
Failure to do this, the group noted, would put climate action in jeopardy. This warning comes at a time when the federal government is rolling out a suite of policies to address climate change.
These include the introduction of a standard that would make individual Canadians and businesses pay for carbon pollution, combined with regulations that would require them to use cleaner fuels, as well as regulations requiring the oil and gas industry to measure and reduce their methane pollution.
The oil and gas industry in Alberta has also suffered tens of thousands of job losses due to fluctuating prices and a global market that is gradually moving towards energy sources with lower environmental footprints.
"Widespread support for continued climate change action is at risk of eroding if strong just transition provisions are not embedded in climate change and labour policy," it said.
Public labour market inventory proposed
Corbett said the political element of negotiating new agreements with provinces that may not see eye-to-eye with Ottawa comes with the territory.
"Is it any different if we're talking about new employment programs for First Nations in different parts of the country? Is it any more complicated than dealing with the transition when a fishery collapses? Is it harder on the heart when an armed forces base shuts down? I don't think so," she said.
The task force wants to see a lead minister assigned to oversee and report on progress, including "annual public reporting and a detailed report to Parliament every five years," as well as a "research fund" for studying the impact of the phase out.
It also recommended a public labour market "inventory" of coal workers, with things like skills profiles, that would be a starting point for a job bank to match skill sets and employers.
"This inventory, or products based on it, would be developed in partnership with employers, unions, provinces, and municipalities, and be made available to workers, employers, transition centres, and researchers studying coal phase-out transition, while respecting privacy restrictions," the report reads.

This is right and just. I hope there will be a good transition for all these workers. Oil and Gas workers next. The move to sustainable energy rests on this. These are the skilled trades that will do it once we get over the fear of change.

Long a requirement for gear used in the Central Office in the North American Public Switched Network? The rigorous Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) criteria have become a universal measure of network product excellence.
Deploying NEBS certified network gear is a key advantage for access providers including ILECs, CLECs, CAPs, ISPs, ASPs, and, of course, RBOCs. Products that are NEBS certified are also expected to be top performers in enterprise network environments as well. They undergo various NEBS tests.
These terms are often casually used by gear vendors as though they were synonymous. This is not the case. Most NEBS testing laboratories publish their testing procedures for an additional cost. Products that claim to be "compliant" are merely reproducing the rigorous testing procedures in-house (and very rarely perform them all).
While that makes for a better product than one that hasn't been tested in-house, it is still a long way from sending gear to a nationally recognized testing facility. In addition, you'll paying them tens of thousands of dollars to make absolutely certain that a piece of gear meets the demanding standards NEBS certification requires.
In the past, DPS Telecom's network site monitoring units have been known to comply with NEBS Level 3 requirements. Because of this, they've been known to maximize network uptime as well!
Currently, DPS products are not NEBS certified. What's the reason for this? Having a unit NEBS certified comes at a cost. DPS would have to ship their units to the NEBS lab and incur a shipping cost. Then, DPS would also have to pay NEBS for their services to perform the various tests. When the unit is officially NEBS certified, DPS would then have to adjust its price. As a result, you would have to pay more.
Our products will only be NEBS certified per your request. Please note that there will be an additional cost associated with the NEBS certified unit. To save you time and money, DPS can by bypass NEBS certification and self certify NEBS compliance for all of DPS products at no additional cost to you.
How can DPS self certify NEBS compliance? It's simple. DPS has the means and capabilities to comply with NEBS certification. This includes using and/or conducting the anechoic chamber, torture test, drop test, and vibration simulation test. These tests can determine EMI levels, equipment reliability and quality, and long-term stress. Because DPS performs in-house testing for all of their manufactured units, your units will meet or exceed your expectations upon arrival.
If having NEBS certification is a deal breaker, you should also know that DPS equipment are a proven, rugged design. Internally, every unit is manufactured with rugged parts for reliability. Externally, they're powder-coated to withstand rusting.
Please remember, although DPS products aren't NEBS certified, unless requested, know that DPS can conduct their own testing. This is equivalent to building products up to par with (or even exceeding) original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards without having to label it as one.
Again, if you insist on having a DPS unit NEBS certified, please know that there will be an additional cost associated with that particular unit.
Ensure gear compatibility with the telephone industry's electrical environment.
Simplify gear planning and installation.
Protect telecommunications gear from service outages caused by incompatible equipment.
Prevent interference to licensed radio transmitters and other close proximity telecommunications gear.
Minimize the risk of fires to telecommunications gear.
Ensure gear operation under the range of temperature, humidity, vibration, and airborne contamination present in telecommunications locations.
Ensure gear and service survivability in the event of earthquake.
Greatly reduce gear failure rates.
The most successful telecommunication providers choose only NEBS certified gear. Shouldn't you?
Although a majority of DPS equipment aren't NEBS certified, you should be aware that DPS has the means to conduct their own self certifying compliance test (EMI chamber, torture testing, etc.).

Traveler engagement is an area of opportunity, but translating touchy-feely principles for a procurement mindset of compliance and savings is problematic.
Many practitioners remain in the earliest stages of a more robust engagement program, studying and planning. According to an Association of Corporate Travel Executives/American Express Global Business Travel September 2016 survey of 254 corporate travel managers, 90 percent of companies maintain key performance indicators on travel savings. For associated "traveler-centric" concepts like productivity, wellness, work/life balance and retention, the rate of KPI usage dropped below 30 percent.

GameSpot's TV Show Of 2022: Severance
The concept is deceptively simple: What if there was a literal thing to "check out" when you sit down to report to your job? What if you could functionally turn off your consciousness when it was time to go to work and then bring it back the moment you exited the building? And don't try to say you've never fantasized about something like this before – just think how great your life would be if you never had to deal with an angry customer or a condescending boss again. Imagine how much easier you would feel if the hours you spent at work felt like walking in and waking up from surgical anesthesia, only without all the potential side effects and pain.
Except there's a dark side to that story too, because something Gotta actually make the work happen, right? And while you are literally not at home in your brain, your body must be controlled somehow. Enter: Severance, the sneaky little AppleTV+ original that came out of nowhere to become GameSpot's favorite TV show of 2022.
Severance is the story of that fantasy made real. In a world where a shady company called Lumon has actually developed a procedure that allows employees to be "switched off", meaning that a chip in their brains can turn their conscious mind on and off, people are able to remove themselves from their jobs. They become an "innie", the consciousness that takes over their brain and body inside their Lumon office, and an "outie", the person they are in their everyday life when they are not on the clock. For the "outie" persona, this is obviously a pretty good deal – checking out 40 hours a week, not having to worry or stress about what's going on at work, not knowing any of their colleagues or bosses. But for the "innien" it means becoming a prisoner in the office. The only place they exist, the only place they will ever know, is their job. The moment they leave the building, they are turned off. No holiday. No weekends. No personal life at all.
At the heart of Severance's first season is Mark S (Adam Scott) and his team of Macrodata Refiners, Dylan G (Zach Cherry), Irving B (John Turturro), and Helly R (Britt Lower), a group of cut-throat workers who, at Helly's arrival to the team, they find themselves slowly stumbling, beginning to unravel the lives they've been forced to live in Lumon – all while their "outie" selves continue none the wiser of the torture they're being subjected to. day after day. Things get even more complicated when Mark runs into his old boss Petey outside. Petey used to be cut, but somehow reversed the procedure, and now needs Mark's help. That is, after he convinces Mark that he even knows him at all – the two were best friends in Lumon, but on the outside Mark has no memory of him ever existing, much less that they were friends.
It has all the makings of a gritty sci-fi story along the lines of Westworld or Blade Runner – where does consciousness begin and end? What constitutes a sentient thing? How much autonomy and agency does an "artificial" thing have? But where Severance really excels is the way it subverts all of those expectations. Rather than being a neon-drenched, bleeding edge techno-futuristic nightmare, Severance feels more like an absurdist workplace dramedy. Lumon and the characters in it feel like they could have wandered out of something like Being John Malkovitch or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The maze-like quality of the building (and the mystery of what Lumon even do) feels both ominous and deeply funny, full of weird wax sculptures and buzz-word-y corporate mumbo jumbo). It's funny—extremely funny, even—until it's not. When the horror elements start to fall, they start to fall hard, and the heartbreaking moments only grow more intense as they become more uncomfortable to watch.
Severance emerges and weaves around expectations, delivering a complicated, wholly original, and most importantly impeccably crafted story that will keep you guessing—and then leave of absence you guess as it kicks off its upcoming second season. If you only watch one TV show this year, make sure it's this one.
Praise Kier.

We really appreciate all the customers who either called us back today, or took our calls, to let us know the current condition of their water. We have learned that most of the impacted customers have reported much clearer water today, which means we were able to get most of the slug of discolored water sediment out of the system by the flushing activity on Friday, although it took most of the weekend before the sediment had finally worked its way out.
We also had an extensive meeting with our water quality engineer today to determine the route cause and further adjustments to our maintenance activities to try to help the problem. The recommendations included twice a year directional flushing (the aggressive scouring type of flushing) instead of once per year, most likely in the spring and fall seasons. The recommendations also include taken the water storage tanks off line once or twice a year, and flushing the bottom sediment from the tank, which is where the water intake is generally located.
We have also heard many complaints of high chlorine smell, so we looked into redesigning our chlorine sampling points to introduce less chlorine into the system, while still being able to maintain the state required chlorine residuals across the system.
And as always, the long term fix, is to continue facility upgrades, such as the Water Storage Tank Rehab project, the SCADA project, and the Water Main Cleaning and Lining project, the latter of which starts up again in April.
We also heard that people were concerned about bacterial testing. We actually do significant bacterial testing each month, and our system has been in compliance for several years. But in order to alleviate concerns due to this incident, we have scheduled additional testing, just to be safe, in order to make sure there are no bacterial issues. We will have those results on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning, and will report them.
Thank you for your continued patience as we continue these upgrades to the water system.Thank you for your continued patience as we continue these upgrades to the water system.

Historic Snohomish
Snohomish History
Snohomish was founded in 1859 and in 1861 was established as the county seat. See the town clock commemorating the incorporating of the City of Snohomish located at First Street and Avenue A. See if you can find the "OOPS" on our clock. (Hint: what happened to the 11th hour?) In 1895 Snohomish lost the county seat to Everett, still a matter of questionable ballot counting.
During the 1880's and 1890's the Seattle, Lakeshore & Eastern railroad line ran through Snohomish. In 1884, the local sawmill was producing 20,000 board feet of lumber per day. Loggers came to town for to visit local "tonsorial parlors", we are sure just for the public baths. To get their work clothes washed they visited "Soap Suds Row" where mill worker wives did their laundry. See these Row houses on Avenue A between 2nd and 3rd Street.
Destructive fires have hit hard throughout the history of Snohomish. On Memorial Day 1911 a disastrous fire struck First Street and everything between Avenues B and C was destroyed. The fire the end of the day the fire destroyed 35 businesses. In 1974 the Seattle-Snohomish Mill was totally destroyed by fire. Rebuilt, the site has remained a lumber mill until 2016.
During the Great Depression, one of the town's largest employers, Bickford Ford, was founded in 1934 by Lawrence Bickford, remaining open until today. That era also gave us home town recognition with Baseball great, Earl Averill who was born and raised in Snohomish. A Hall of Famer, Averill played mostly with the Cleveland Indians from 1929 to 1941.
In 1973 the City adopted a Historic District Ordinance and in 1974 the Historic Business and Residential Districts were placed on the national Register of Historic Places.
In 1975 a catastrophic flood destroyed or damaged 300 homes with a loss of 3,500 head of cattle and other livestock. Thankfully no human lost his life in that flood. See the watermark on the side of the TODO Mexico Restaurant Building, 1011 First Street.
The G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) Cemetery was established in 1889 by the G.A.R.'s Morton Post 110 of Snohomish, the historic cemetery is one of two in the Puget Sound area and the only independently active and maintained Civil War G.A.R. cemetery in the State of Washington. Approximately two hundred Union veterans are buried within the grounds. Highlighting the northwest corner of the premises is the G.A.R. monument.
Dedicated in 1914, this obelisk-topped edifice features representations of the cavalry, navy and artillery surrounding and supporting a southern-facing, full-sized, uniformed and armed infantry sentry, alertly standing guard over his sleeping comrades in arms.

Improved air quality from project benefits highlighted in 2020 Calif. HSR sustainability report
The below Oct. 15, 2020 news release is from the California High-Speed Rail Authority.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) today released its 2020 Sustainability Report: Building Resilience. The annual report details ongoing efforts to advance the nation's largest and greenest infrastructure project and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in transportation. In the past year, the Authority has expanded efforts to deliver a system that maximizes benefits to underserved communities, protects natural resources and is a catalyst in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Electrified high-speed rail, running on renewable energy, will be the spine of clean, long-distance travel in California, connecting Northern and Southern California through the Central Valley. The Sustainability Report outlines policies for station planning, energy needs, emissions and community partnerships including:
Opening of the Central Valley Training Center in Selma offering pre-apprenticeship classes in construction industry courses to connect the local community to green high-speed rail jobs
Continuation of the work to environmentally clear the full phase one of the project by 2022
Preserving 3,645 acres of natural habitat and agricultural land
Providing more than 4,400 good paying construction jobs in which 73% are local to the Central Valley and 40% are from disadvantaged areas
"Making a positive impact on our environment starts now during construction. We take pride in implementing the greenest construction practices at our more than 30 active work sites," said Authority CEO Brian Kelly. "The 2020 Sustainability Report shows that we're removing more emissions than we create. We're proud to do our part to green the transportation sector, even before we've gotten to operation. We are not just leading the state, but the nation and the world."
"Our approach to sustainability is to plan and construct in a way that will allow Californians to live a good quality of life for future generations to come," said Margaret Cederoth, Director of Sustainability and Planning for the Authority. "The environment and climate are important aspects of sustainability, but we also address the social and economic realities that are all part of constructing high-speed rail in California."
The report highlights a new green standard for the nation's transportation infrastructure. The Authority has achieved a 97% recycling rate of all waste to date and works through community agreements to neutralize all emissions that are released from construction. Through a voluntary agreement to offset all emissions from construction sites, the Authority's urban forestry program has planted more than 5,000 trees, sequestering 25,000 tons of CO2 over the trees' lifecycle. Planted primarily in disadvantaged communities, the trees help offset emissions generated during construction.
To learn more about the sustainability of high-speed rail, join a free webinar on Wed, Oct. 28 with Director Cederoth, who will present on the major themes of the 2020 Sustainability Report and answer questions from the public.
A copy of the full report can be found at hsr.ca.gov.
