The High Cost of Living Rural: A Q&A with a Journalist Covering Healthcare in Appalachia
The Bodice Project
In One of the Poorest States in the Country, This Reporter Is the Only One Covering Poverty
Written by kristenuppercue
Written for 100 Days in Appalachia. Read the full piece here.
In 2017, 19.1 percent of West Virginians experienced poverty, 5.7 percent higher than the national average, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But poverty isn't an isolated problem in West Virginia. In one of the poorest states in the country, poverty touches housing, education, health care and food.
While journalists throughout the state loosely cover poverty's effects on West Virginians, no one was solely focusing on the topic. That is until Amelia Ferrell Knisely, a 2019-2020 Report for America fellow, was placed at the Charleston Gazette-Mail to cover West Virginia's poverty crisis. Report for America, a service program created by the nonprofit The GroundTruth Project, places journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities.
Prior to the fellowship, Ferrell Knisely has previously reported on education and children's issues at The Tennessean in Nashville and served as editor of The Contributor, a nonprofit newspaper sold by people experiencing homelessness.
Knisely spoke to 100 Days in Appalachia's Kristen Uppercue about her reporting.

Looks good, but is it in the up position when not deployed? Looks a little dangerous?
I've always loved the rack Corson Piper makes. Finally got one & decided to custom mount it under the Bimini to hold my Doomswell. I hated having a board bag in my walk way. I had a bar running center of my tower so I couldn't use a clamp. Just did through bolts with a thumb screw. Oh & I powder coated it to match.
So when I did my stereo I wanted 4 zones of audio to control tower, cabin, bow & subs. I wasn't using the 4 ACC switches so I thought I would have the stereo guy put them there. I was custom labels made at a vinyl shop. Ended up doing all the switches so they would match. My OCD was killing me.


Russians call her "the new Osipova" because, since joining the Royal Ballet two years ago, Natalia Osipova hasn't stopped reinventing herself. Her total lack of fear pushes dance technique into a danger zone, and her English repertory of dramatic roles has revealed an astonishing actress. "What you see is a dancer completely naked and real," her dance partner Matthew Golding told me.

LAKE SUPERIOR "WALK TO REMEMBER"
THE WALK IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED!
He' all, it's just after 1 a.m. here in Bad River; and I wanted to share with you the success of today as we closed the circle begun in June. The Walk to Remember around Lake Superior has been an experience beyond mere words, but I will try and share some things with you.
About the time we were in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, we started hearing that this historic, momentuous journey carrying on the legacy of Walt Bresette, had become far more than we, living together in tents, a nomadic village, could have comprehended. We were told that we were being called "the sacred walkers," a concept that was beyond our simple lives, and our daily challenges as we moved that precious eagle staff forward.
We had our own life within that village, our own internal rhythms, our own work, our challenges as we celebrated ceremonies morning and evening, as we walked, no matter what the weather. Along the way, we have been gifted with so much, from the love, smiles, hugs, food, prayers, and caring of so many.
On the night of our last talking circle, before we walked into the Bad River pow wow grounds, I said that when I left home, I told people that I was from Oklahoma, where the headquarters of the Delaware Tribe of Indians was. But now, that has changed. Now, I, like my brothers and sisters, have been on this Walk to Remember....and now, forever, we are from the Village of the Remembering People. As we walked Lake Superior, we left offerings of tobacco, cloth, and coins, as well as our prayers and those of so many others, all around this lake. And now we have left behind, spiritually, a circle of living fire that grew from heart and spirit, a circle that today was closed and now glows, completed, and strong.
That fire, one of love, dedication, strength, Native traditions, and a coming together of red, white, yellow, black, of all peoples who share Turtle Island, will live forever. We now know that other things will grow from this walk; for this fire, although invisible to the physical eye, is one of spirit and heart; is one of the coming forward of the old ways into today, the beginning of a new beginning. Megwitch to all who supported us, with love, prayers, and in so many ways. And now let us all look forward to further work to protect Lake Superior, and our mother Earth, and our beloved Turtle Island.
This walk was lived as a sacred journey around Lake Superior to bring forth community visions to protect the air, land and water for the Seven Generations yet to come.
Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world. For many people, it is an important source of food, livelihood and drinking water. Lake Superior is also an important part of the spirituality of the Anishinabeg as passed down by our ancestors and oral histories. It is now threatened due to contamination, global warming caused by over-development, and a growing, global water crisis that further threatens the sanctity of its waters and many life forms that depend on it, including, people.
"A Walk To Remember" is a journey around Lake Superior that is being coordinated by a group of people from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ontario, and Michigan. The idea was borne out of a gathering in Sault Ste. Marie, in April of 1999, when Native and Non-Native people met to discuss issues pertaining to the Great Lakes. This walk, this journey, is the result of people's dreams and visions that were brought forward at this meeting. It is also an effort to carry out the visions concerning the connections between Great Lakes sustainability and what Native peoples' spirituality, culture, and sovereignty, have to offer for its future, as voiced by the late activist, Walt Bresette, a Lake Superior Chippewa from the Red Cliff Reservation, in northern Wisconsin, who passed away in February of 1999. "We need to bring all the people of Lake Superior together," he often said. "We need to talk to each other about what is happening in our villages and our communities, to share our experiences, our concerns, and our hopes for the future. We need to meet our neighbors and learn from them."
This summer, the 1200 mile journey will begin on the south shore of Lake Superior at Waverly Beach on the Bad River Reservation at sunrise on June 28, 2000. It will then continue on to the Fourth of July Pow-Wow at the Red Cliff Reservation. The journey will end full-circle at the Bad River Pow-Wow in late August.
This walk is also a spiritual journey, a pilgrimage, a healing journey, to undo some of the damage done to Mother Earth and her waters, and to bring healing to her people by communicating and listening to one another.
Enroute we will seek to meet and learn from all who know and understand the waters, beaches, forests, hills, routes, commerce, communities, and spirit of the lake. It will be a journey that transcends the notions of borders and boundaries. We will seek to bring people together in a common community of sharing and insight. We will make note of what we hear, see and feel. We will conscientiously carry what we learn and share it with each new person and every community that we visit. Almost simultaneously, "A Walk To Remember" will be reproduced on the internet to share the sights, sounds and ideas from Lake Superior to the rest of the world.
As the journey progresses around the lake, some common stories and themes will emerge. By late summer, after every village and community has been visited, and all who have wanted to be heard have been heard � the walk will end, where it began, on the Bad River Reservation. The journey will carry back many common stories, themes, purposes, concerns, and visions that will have been revealed and carried forward.
It is hoped that from the walk, a set of common principles, commitments and standards can be realized towards a common vision that ensures all that is special about Lake Superior will be protected and nurtured for present and future generations. Please join us on this once in a lifetime journey for the Seven Generations yet to come.

Russian Hill is the rare neighborhood that feels both tucked-away and close-to-the-action at the same time. One of San Francisco's original "Seven Hills", the area was named when prospectors stumbled upon a Russian cemetery on top of a hill — incidentally, it also had a jaw-dropping view of the Bay and surrounding city.
Hear about the Beats, bohemians, and general eccentrics who sculpted the area's unique feel. Gaze at delightful mansions and cottages that remain distinctive even against the rest of San Francisco's lovely buildings.

This has sadly already been a devastating summer for a lot of people, and more disaster is on its way. I hope that all of you fellow Floridians have found a safe spot already to wait this monster out. As some of you may know, we live in Florida, too. Our thoughts are with all of you – be safe, everyone!
Dog owners frequently contact me with questions. An all-time hit are undesired behaviors in dogs of all ages. I have taken one of the recent request for advice as the basis of this essay, because the problem situation seems to apply to a lot of situations owners experience in one way or the other.
Dog owners often find themselves confronted with are undesired habits of their dogs, which can show in a variety of behaviors. Bull Terriers are little bull dozers even when they are happy and just want to make fun or show affection. And when young they come with a bunch of quirks in addition, such as nipping and roughhousing, which are all too typical. But that does not mean we have to accept them as the owners.
We all know that the best time to work on those undesired behaviors is as early as possible while the dog is still young and has not settled into routines and behaviors yet, in order to avoid bad habits from developing and establishing and our dogs from taking them as "normal behavior".
JUNE 20, 2017 REcall Expansion!
Reason: United Pet Group, is expanding their voluntary recall of multiple brands of rawhide dog chew products due to chemical contamination to include popular store brands of rawhide dog chews sold by Walmart, Petco, H-E-B and others due to possible contamination with a chemical compound.
Mila and I wish everyone very happy Bull Terrier holidays! Happy Easter!
Reason: Blue Ridge Beef of Eatonton, Georgia is voluntarily recalling one lot of its Turkey with Bone raw frozen product due to the potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
People have been asking me for several years now, if I will ever publish a calendar with my cartoons. The second half of the year is always pretty busy in my office and so far I had never found the time to do it.
Now I finally made it! I am so proud and happy to be able to present my very first Bull Terrier Calendar just in time for your holiday gift shopping!
I have gathered some of my finest and funniest cartoons in a colorful calendar for you that can be ordered on Zazzle.
I really hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
It is available in my Zazzle Store right here!
I have also made a German version available. The jokes in the cartoons and the calendar are both in German language.

The Unity Rally () was a rally held on  October 27, 1995, in downtown Montreal, where an estimated 100,000 Canadians from in and outside Quebec came to celebrate a united Canada, and plead with Quebecers to vote "No" in the Quebec independence referendum (held three days after the rally).
Held at the , it was Canada's biggest political rally until the 2012 Quebec student protests. The rally attracted considerable controversy because corporate sponsors, particularly from outside Quebec, made what, in the view of the Director General of Elections in Quebec, were illegal contributions to the No campaign (for example offering free or heavily discounted transportation to Montreal for demonstrators). In the end, it was determined that these provisions of Quebec's electoral laws did not apply to sponsors located outside Quebec.

Events
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, Progressive Conservative Party leader Jean Charest and Quebec Liberal Party leader Daniel Johnson spoke to the crowd. Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Brian Tobin played a crucial role in organizing and promoting the event. Many Canadian politicians from outside Quebec, who had previously been asked not to get involved by the "No" committee, participated in the event, notably Ontario Premier Mike Harris, New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna, Nova Scotia Premier John Savage, and Prince Edward Island Premier Catherine Callbeck.
"Welcome to our future partners," read a sign streaming from the back of an airplane that circled the skies above the massive rally.

Several Canadian phone companies joined the rally, Newfoundland Telephone Co. Ltd, BC Tel, AGT Inc and New Brunswick Telephone Co. Ltd. allowed residential customers to make free five-minute long-distance calls to Quebec from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Canadian transportation corporations and companies, such as Via Rail, Canadian Airlines, Air Canada and Coach Canada, in addition to multiple travel agencies and hotel operators throughout the country, offered massive discounts on travel to Montreal for the weekend to participate. Though the legality of this particular element of the rally remained controversial and in litigation for some time afterward, the social, psychological and economic impact of the rally is generally viewed as the deciding factor for the "No" campaign.

A Le Devoir article described the event as "".

Crowd
This estimated number was largely disputed on the day of the rally and for many years after. (There were huge discrepancies on the size of the crowd in the media. Montreal's English-language radio station CJAD reported the crowd at upward of 150,000, where CKAC, a French-language radio station, reported the crowd at 30,000.)
A study of video footage by CBC television put the estimate at around 60,000.

Charges
Aurèle Gervais, communications director for the Liberal Party of Canada, as well as the students' association at Ottawa's Algonquin College, were charged after the referendum for illegally hiring buses to bring supporters to Montreal for the rally, part of a larger accusation by some supporters of Quebec sovereignty that much of the spending on the rally was illegal because it was not authorized by the "No" Committee or entered in its expenditure report.  Environment Minister Sergio Marchi told reporters "Mr. Gervais, on behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, should wear [the charges against him] like a badge of honour," and "I think it's a crock and they should stop nickelling and  Canadians' sense of patriotism to death." Two years later, the Quebec Superior Court dismissed the charges, stating that the alleged infractions took place outside of Quebec, and did not break any laws under the Quebec Electoral Act.

Robin Philpot, co-author of the book , said that Brian Tobin, chief organizer for the rally, told him that various Canadian corporations had helped to fund the initiative. Two days prior to the rally, Canadian Airlines had announced its "Unity fare: up to 90% discounts for people who want to purchase tickets from anywhere in Canada." Quebec chief electoral officer Pierre F. Côté then issued a warning to six Canadian transport companies, including Air Canada, Canadian Airlines and Via Rail, that they would face up to a $10,000 fine for any money illegally spent transporting people to Montreal.

CHAMPION—June 26, 2017
The Millpond is a favorite haunt for Champions and their summer visitors.
"Summer time and the living is easy" in Champion. Well, it may not be easy, but it is certainly pleasant. Though these are being spectacular days, there is always plenty of work to do for people who live in the country. Yard work and gardening keep old timers and retirees busy while they watch real farmers, young ones and old ones, doing all that their profession requires of them–milking, haying, planting, brush hogging, and myriad other things including keeping the equipment in order and the animals healthy. Those fine gentlemen from the Drury Road Shed are out in the elements all day getting our roads and bridges back together after the flood. That is certainly hard work. Then, there are the other heroes, our teachers and school staff. They get some well-deserved time off during the summer, though there is summer school and a great deal of preparation for starting the next term. Certified Reading Specialist and Librarian, Terri Ryan, might be getting to do some fishing. Lannie Hinote may well be vacationing in the area from her teaching job in Alaska. Visitors from all parts of the country have been coming to Champion to visit family and to revel in, if for only a little while, the life we fortunates are privileged to enjoy year round.
Skyline second grade student, Jasmine Hutson will have her birthday on the July 2nd, as will bus driver, Paul Kennedy. Patrick Vincent will be in the eighth grade had his birthday is on the 3rd. We all celebrate the birthday of the Nation on July 4th. The 5th is the birthday of the Dalai Lama and Virginia Canada. Walter Darrell Haden's birthday was July 6th, 1931. He was a very interesting person and a great encourager of The Champion News. He passed away in 2014, and what the author of "All the Late News from the Court House" might make of today's scandals would surely be entertaining and informative. Champion great grandson Kruz Kuzt has his birthday on the 7th. Happy Birthday to all those we can celebrate today and all those who we remember for the way they have touched us. Huzzah! Meanwhile, Terri Ryan says, "Skyline Community, please mark your calendars and help spread the word! We are having an electronics recycling pick up on August 1 (Tuesday) about 10 a.m. Items can be brought on Monday, July 31st if necessary. Anything that plugs in is free, except televisions and you have to pay $10 fee for those. This is a great recycling opportunity."
The 25th and 26th of June are days celebrated by the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho for their overwhelming victory in the battle of Greasy Grass which occurred along the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory in 1876. By the time Yellow Hair was losing his campaign, many of the ancestors of current Champions were in the process of homesteading in these parts. Families like the Stones, the Hensons, the Hicks, Upshaws, Hutchisons, Kriders, Sutherlands, and Kellers, Cooleys, Johnstons, Dooms and you know who all you are. While your folks were claiming their land and developing it, The Great Sioux War was going on out west. Just imagine if Yellow Hair had had a great para-military private security force like Tigerswan at his disposal! All those pesky indigenous people would have been exterminated or dispersed and today's aggravating protests about eminent domain for private gain would not be a problem in North Dakota, or in Pennsylvania, Iowa, New York, Nebraska, and any number of other places. In Orwell's Newspeak it would be 'doubleplusgood' for corporate interests. Most Orwellian is the notion that many states are now considering bills to make protesting a felony, all of which smacks of irony on the eve of our celebration of The Declaration of Independence, which is a most profound protest document. Happy Birthday, America!
Correspondence to champion@championnews.us: "I heard from a friend a long time ago (she is gone now) that the Missouri Conservation Department would not allow for the killing of copperheads because they viewed them as beneficial. Having said that, she then reported on the numerous suicides (presumably of snakes) at her home." The correspondent indicated that she watched a copperhead commit suicide via lawn mower just the other day. Reports of that nature are not unusual any day of the week this time of the year at the Historic Emporium over on the North side of the Square in Downtown Champion. Hovey e-mails that he is thinking about coming in October when the foliage changes. "I would like to walk the Bryant Creek nature trail, if it has not been washed out." Regular summertime visitors from Texas like to go to the Millpond. They have been doing it for many years and consider it one of the highlights of their holiday. They arrived on Friday in the late morning in time for a wade in the wonderfully cold water and a pleasant picnic before the thundering and sprinkling started. They said it was as beautiful as they remembered. Locals who had not been out there since before the flood were pleased that the route they took was passable, if a rough one, and were impressed with the obvious work that the road crews had done to make it that way. The creek is still flowing right along over the rock formations under the tall cliffs. The 'beach' is wider now and it is not so far across to the other side. The new configuration will likely be a surprise to the many who will attend The Old Tree Hugger's Jamboree. They will come from near and far to enjoy their annual visit with each other in the splendor of this setting.
"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow," said Audrey Hepburn. An Old Champion recently thought to augment her straw bale garden with a fish emulsion treatment. She put half a cup of the stinky stuff in the bottom of her bucket and almost had the four gallons of water to dilute it added in when she saw that bucket was split along the side about two inches from the bottom and leaking fast. It was a race to distribute the solution without wasting much of it. She started over with another bucket only to find a hole in it near the bottom. She had to scramble again but was able to complete her task, if not in the calm and orderly fashion she had planned. All done, she sang Hank Williams version of, "My bucket's got a hole in it!" on her way to the dump to get rid of the offending vessels. It is exciting to see the first color starting out in the tomato patch. Vanzant's lovely chanteuse, Ruth Collins, has already had a couple of ripe ones on her table. Perhaps she will learn that wonderful song that says, "There's just two things that money can't buy and that's true love and home grown tomatoes." Sing whatever song you like out on the wide veranda overlooking Auld Fox Creek. You can be melodious in one of the world's truly beautiful places—Champion! Looking on the Bright Side!
Chillin' in Millpond

A Champion tree frog pauses in the kitchen on his way outside after spending the winter inside.
Our "paterfamilias"—who is that? Why, that is our dear old dad. He is the Champion being celebrated from coast to coat and stem to stern the whole wide world around. While it may be that every one of them is not the poster dad for perfection, the outpouring of love, affection, appreciation and awe still filled up the phone lines and mailboxes. Some offspring stood on the front porch with grins on their faces and presents in their hands. A Hawaiian shirt, new bar-b-que tools, a certificate for a weekly visit from a grounds-keeping crew, keys to a 1957 Thunderbird—any of those things would make a nice gift. The examples set by the old guys are the ones being taken up by young fathers, and as a consequence, there are some splendid children being raised. For those who just have the memory of the man now, he has taken on a reputation of having been wise and infallible and funny, loving, generous and steadfast—a Champion for sure. Thanks for everything, Dad.
I.P. Henson had a pet black snake that curled up in the rock garden near where he liked to sit. The story was passed down to his great granddaughter who still maintains the rock garden but has no genuine affection for any of the local reptiles including especially those that like baby chickens. Snake stories were part of the conversation at the Wednesday gathering at the Historic Emporium on the South side of the Square. Some folks are of the "kill every snake you see" philosophy. Others ascribe to the "live and let live" credo, citing examples of black snakes and rat snakes that eat rats and rabbits. Copperheads also eat rodents and cicadas, and king snakes kill copperheads. There is a kind of ammunition called 'snake shot' and there are any number of methods of doing away with the critters, though it is suggested that the Missouri Department of Conservation frowns on the practice.
Visitors to Champion on Wednesday will be celebrating the Summer Solstice. Thereafter the days will be getting shorter and the nights will be getting longer. This celestial occurrence is observed and celebrated by many different cultures around the globe. Most of those festivities probably include music, food, and fellowship, just like we do here in the Ozarks. June is also the big month for wedding anniversaries. Reba and Don Bishop just celebrated their fiftieth and Ethel and Bob Leach had an even bigger one. "They're playing our song" is likely being said many times as spring morphs into summer. Congratulations to all you who have stuck it out through thick and thin—for better or worse—like true Champions.
A female hummingbird in for a morning drink.
Hovey Henson writes that his hummingbird feeder down in Texas is not seeing any action. Folks up in this part of the country are also reporting fewer humming birds than usual. It may be that most of them are nesting at this time and that the new clutch will be out buzzing around soon. Nature holds plenty of excitement. One Old Champion couple had a tree frog that wintered over in their plant room. It would sometimes respond to the phone ringing or to the tuning of the mandolin. The old lady was out on Thursday evening and the old man thought he heard the frog in the kitchen, though it could just as easily have been his tinnitus. On Friday morning, however, he put up the oatmeal and was about ready to break the eggs into the skillet when he discovered the beautiful little tree frog sitting in his copper clad egg pan (as seen on TV). It took some doing but the couple finally escorted the little fellow out into the lovely outside which he had not seen since last fall. Most likely he found friends out there. Friends are looking forward to seeing Hovey and Dawn and their whole bunch at the Champion School Reunion this fall—the Saturday before Labor Day.
Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. was born in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1916. His first job was as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Times. He was a war correspondent during World War II and reported on the Nuremburg Trials, the Viet Nam War, the assignation of President Kennedy, the resignation of President Nixon and every other important thing that happened before he retired in 1981. In 1982, he wrote a preface for a new edition of Orwell's famous book, "1984," first published in 1949. He referenced the term 'Newspeak' saying we hear it in every use of language to manipulate, deceive or to cover harsh realities with the soft snow of euphemism. Every time a political leader expects or demands that we believe the absurd, we experience the mental process Orwell called 'doublethink.' Cronkite said, "We recognize, however dimly, that greater efficiency, ease, and security may come at a substantial price in freedom, that law and order can be a doublethink version of oppression, that individual liberties surrendered for whatever good reason are freedom lost." Cronkite passed away in 2009. It would be interesting to know just what 'the most trusted man in America' would have to say about what is happening these days when government has hired military mercenaries to attack American citizens on their own land at the behest of private industry, when the federal government, as well as our own state government, is awash in scandal and the standing of the Nation in the world community is at an all-time low. He might well have shaken his head in disbelief today when he said, "And that's the way it is."
The way it is in Champion is just fine. Gardens are in and beautiful. Come on down to the wide, wild, wooly banks of Auld Fox Creek where old friends and new ones amble up on to the spacious veranda and sit a spell to visit. They say when it's all said and done there is more said than done, but praises are still being sung for the efforts of the Eastern Douglas County Road Maintenance Men as they work to repair roads and bridges damaged in the recent flood. Bingo parlor envy is being aroused in connection with the new Vanzatian edifice. Haymakers are "gettin' 'er done, sis." Music is in the air and the new acoustic jam at the Senior Center in Cabool on Monday nights is getting some great reviews. Everyone is welcome. Contact Lynette Cantrell at 417-260-1050 for additional information. Contact The Champion News, Rt. 72 Box 367, Norwood, MO 65717 for any reason or look us up at www.championnews.us to see a solid decade of this kind of stuff, some old and new photographs and to hear some wonderful local music. Frances Banks frequents the bluegrass jam at Vanzant and shared the May, 1982, edition of "Country Song Round Up" with a friend there. It contains one of her favorite songs which she hopes to hear one of these Thursdays. It is Don Williams's song, "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good. I'm feeling empty and misunderstood. I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should, but, Lord, I hope this day is good." It will be for sure if you are in Champion—Looking on the Bright Side!

Summertime flowers are making Champion even more beautiful.
Hey! Haymakers are making hay like Champions! All over the area, from here to yonder, there are beautiful fields just mowed and baled producing record amounts of hay. Of course, some fields are not producing because of damage caused by the flood, but those that are producing really are. These days it is big round bales bucked with tractor forks, but many know about bucking those square bales from the old days. Ruth Fish Collins said that her son could buck a thousand bales a day. It was just the kind of hard work that robust young country fellows were accustomed to doing back then. Technological advancements in haymaking have made it so that today, even at an advanced age, The General is able to participate in the agrarian activities that result in the hay getting put up in addition to the validation of having the appearance of having worked hard. It is a win-win situation—while the sun shines on the Bright Side and elsewhere in the area. Meanwhile, summer wild flowers in their vigor and profusion have replaced the delicate posies of spring. Daises, sunflowers, Queen Anne's Lace, chicory, primroses, butterfly weed, Echinacea, the little pink shy plant and the orange day lilies and so many that we do not know the names of grace our country lanes and fill us with appreciation for the beauty of the place we live. Time marches on in Champion.
All the birthday Buzz started on the 11th with the special day of Grandpa Woods who is best known for the beauty of his granddaughters and his devotion to them. Artist and philosopher who spent some formative years in Champion, Joshua Cohen, has a birthday on June 19th. Daniel Parkes was in the 4th grade at Skyline last year. He is moving on to the 5th grade and his big day is also the 19th. Tyler Cark was born June, 20, 1988. Linda K. Watts has her birthday on the 21st—the first day of summer. Her Tennessee sons are now both high school graduates with exciting lives ahead of them. Sierra Parsons out in Portland also celebrates on the solstice. Her grandparents keep an amazing garden and interesting chickens over west of Ava. Elisabeth Warren was warned, nevertheless she persisted. Her birthday is on the 22nd as is that of Ms. Cinita Brown. Alyssa Strong was in the 8th grade at Skyline last year and now will be a high school freshman somewhere. Congratulations. Her birthday is on the 23rd. The 24th belongs to Easton Shannon who will be a first grader in the fall. The 25th belongs to Jonny Rainbow of Tar Button Road and velvet voiced Sherry Bennett of bass fiddle fame. Devin Scot will be in the 6th grade. His birthday is on the 26th. The 29th is for David Fulk who will be in the fifth grade in the fall. It is also the special day of Mrs. Eva Powell. Her Champion friends miss seeing her in the neighborhood. Esther Wrinkles was born June 28, 1917. She passed away in 2013, but the centenary of her birth has her in Champion thoughts as she often is. She liked to play 'skip-bo' with her family. She loved music, cooking, quilting, her church, her fire department, politics, her many friends, and her big loving family. All you celebrants past and present know that you have friends and family who think you are top notch Champions. Happy birthday.
Our kids know they are cared about. Terry Ryan shares the post, "No matter how much pedagogy we know, no matter how many degrees we have, unless our students know that we care, they will not learn from us." That is a sentiment that is reflected in Ms. Ryan's attitude and commitment to our precious country children and our wonderful little rural school. Sonja Hodges was at Skyline on the first Tuesday of June doing blood pressure screenings. (Nannette Hirsch is off on an adventure, but will be back for Champions at the Historic Emporium on the last Tuesday of the month.) Sonja filled in for Nannette and also happened to be there for the first day of summer school and the ribbon cutting and dedication of the new playground equipment that is called Monkey Junction. Superintendent Jeannie Curtis did the ribbon cutting and officiated at the ceremony. She shares Ms. Ryan's philosophy and has for some time now put her good efforts into making Skyline the excellent little school it is. The new equipment consists of a couple of slides and some climbing components. The apparatus came through a Healthy Schools—Healthy Community grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health and the Douglas County Health Department. The Ava Middle School and the Plainview School have also been recipients of this grant. Sonja has been with the DCH for eleven years now and has had a hand in many good works. One of those is the paved walking trail that winds along the edge of the woods and over to the Skyline Area Volunteer Fire Department picnic grounds. It is a delightful stroll. Four times around makes a mile. People like Terri Ryan, Jeannie Curtis and Sonja Hodges make us grateful for their good energy and dedication.
Legend has it that Garryowen was an Irish drinking song that came to the attention of General George Armstrong Custer via a trooper who was under the influence of spirits. The tune is lively and accentuates the cadence of marching horses and was adopted as the regimental song of the 7th Calvary soon after Custer arrived at Fort Riley, Kansas to take over command of the regiment. It was the song that followed the column into history. These days another Yellow Hair seems to be headed for a historic cataclysm. Like Custer, he is both loved and reviled. The fact that Custer came in last in his class at West point did not hinder his rise up the ranks of the U.S. Army. There seem to be many similarities and the song is still lilting and lively, reminding us that things can change dramatically in a short period of time. Over at the Vanzant Community Building, for example a new structure has sprung up in the past week. It looks like it will be the new bingo parlor that will be the big attraction at the Vanzant Picnic. New bingo parlors seem to be all the rage in the east end of Douglas County.
Haymaking duties reduced the Wednesday turn out at the Historic Emporium, though several regular visitors made solid appearances. Next week there will likely be stories shared about the snakes that are disturbed by haymaking and those that are just out and about this time of the year because it is their nature. This week the excitement on the wide veranda was a controversy between brothers with differing opinions about who wrote the song, "Satisfied Mind." It looks like the dispute is not the first one the brothers have had between them and while the authorship is important, the gist of the song is one of those life lessons. It seems that "money cannot buy back your youth when you are old, or a friend when you are lonely or a love that has grown cold." The beautiful full Strawberry Moon on Friday was enough to put sweet satisfied smiles on the faces of local romantics whose love is still warm in Champion—Looking on the Bright Side!
Black snakes are just out and about this time of the year in Champion.

CHAMPION—June 5, 2017
New windows going into the old Champion School.
The years are passing quickly. The Denlow/Fairview School Reunion has come and gone again. Attendance was down a little this year due to threatening weather and conflicting events, but those who made it out had a great time. There was a little music before lunch and a lot of visiting. It turned out to be a lovely day after all. The pot luck luncheon was a genuine feast. Shirley Brixey is a Denlow School alumnus. Her son Ed Williams and his wife Sonja provided fish, chicken and hushpuppies that were a great hit. That hushpuppy receipt is one that every cook in attendance would be glad to have. After lunch Pete Proctor led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance and presented a short program dedicated to the Veterans. Laverne and Jessie Mae Miller were not able to attend this year. They had appointments to keep. Laverne's auctioneering skills were much missed, but Pete and The General did the best they could. Margie Carr, an Upshaw cousin from Washington State, wound up with framed photographs of two big Denlow attractions and a complete set of Champion post cards. Ray Hicks was down from Bluegrass, Iowa, and took home with him a big bluebird house. Well, the actual house was not that big, but it was on a tall post with a welcome sign attached to it. He said they have bluebirds up in Iowa too. Ray also said that he reads The Champion News, but he does not recognize the people mentioned there any more. Family and friends were sorry that Pete and Bonnie Mullens did not make it to the reunion this year. I guess Ray knows them. We miss the old timers too, those exciting personalities who are just the previous generations of young vital people living here. Ray's dear sister, Ruby Proctor, and her life-long friend, Esther Keller Wrinkles, and all their friends, family and acquaintances are the sweet legacy of the place. These days old folks often visit Denlow and Champion with their individual sets of memories of the good old days. Once Esther said that Champion was not anything like it used to be, that it had really gone down. The folks who live here now, young and old people and people from elsewhere, love the place even as she did always. "Time is filled with swift transitions!"

Birthday celebrations begin with Kaitlyn McConnell on the 6th of June. She is a lovely lover of the Ozarks and a frequenter of Champion and Douglas County. The next day, the 7th, belongs to Wayne Sutherland who was 85 in 2015 and was hob knobbing with friends on the North Side of the Square back in May when we had our Spring Fling. Destiny Jeffery was an 8th grader at Skyline last year. She shares Mr. Sutherland's birthday. Jacob Shannon will be in the second grade in the fall. His birthday is on June 10th. Isabel Creed and Wyatt Hicks will both be in the 7th grade in the fall. Her birthday is on the 12th and his will be on the 13th. Zackary Coon's birthday is on the 15th. He shares the day with Ava's sweet Janice Lorain. Champion grandson, Foster Wiseman, has his big day on the 16th. So, congratulations all you birthday Champions! Know that your friends and families all love you and are glad you are in their lives for another year. Vanzantians sang that special song to a dazzling personality on Thursday. Her birthday had been the previous Friday and she sparkled with happy contentment and let her vivacious laugher loose on the crowd. To have had yet another birthday is dazzling, indeed.
Lannie Hinote is on her way home from Alaska. She passed some beautiful waterfalls in Canada, got her picture taken with a moose, saw a family of bears walk by her camper and entered the United States of America again at Roosville, Montana. She will have stories to tell and her family is looking forward to her arrival. On Sunday evening she posted a video from Yellowstone. She said, "Old Faithful did not disappoint." Adventure comes in different ways. On Wednesday music minded loiterers were loitering on the wide veranda when Mr. Joseph Bullfer pulled up in his 1923 Ford touring car. What a beauty! He knows the provenance of the vehicle since it was new—who owned it and for how long—what they paid for it—how long it set up—why it was sold. The man he bought it from sold it because his wife would not let the grandchildren ride in it with no seat belts. The car has a three pedal system of stopping and going that would take some getting used to. He had some mechanical difficulties not long after he left the Square, but it was observed that ere long he had competent help and after some while was on his way again. It was a real treat to see. Other sights to see on the Square include the new windows in the Champion Church of Christ which started out as the Champion School. Alumni in distant places will be pleased to see how the old building is being sustained.
Here's Jonnie!
Ethel of Omo inquires about Jonnie from time to time. Jonnie is the Boxer/Beagle mix that came to Champion old folks back in February. She has been a real gift to them with her affection and her antics. She showed up on the scene, emaciated and anxious. It took some coaxing and food to get her comfortable, but now she is part of the family. She had obviously had puppies at a very young age and was in that condition again. The vet said she was probably two years old or younger. She has had her operation now and has a loving home, but it was just good luck that she found an accepting place. The Ava Area Animal Welfare League has a spay/neuter program that is dedicated to preventing the kind of abuse that Jonnie suffered. They are going to be part of the Citywide Yard Sale in Ava on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday June 8th-10th. Their part of the sale will be at 109 N. Jefferson. It is the white building on the west side of Jefferson, across from Givan's Furniture. There will good stuff there donated by friends, neighbors and businesses who appreciate the efforts of the Animal Welfare League and their good ethical work.
"Ethics," there is that word again. How does it happen that a Nation whose very genesis comes from protesting the unfairness of a government can somehow now consider legislation around the country making protesting a felony? The private security firm, TigerSwan, retained by Energy Transfer Partners, coordinated with local, state, and federal law enforcement to undermine the protest movement of the Dakota Access Pipeline while it sought to portray the wronged Native, First Nation, peoples as a jihadist insurgency. As the white people of Nebraska stand up to the Keystone Pipeline, will there be yet another Ethical Waiver that will allow them to be called terrorists when they try to protect their land? Ethics turns out to be a conundrum to some.
On the Bright Side, if you are looking for the names of your contemporaries in The Champion News, you might spin a yarn at champion@championnews.us or to The Champion News, Rt. 72 Box 367, Norwood, MO 65717. We kind of know the story about when Bud Hutchison was run over, and the one about when Mr. Hatfield wrestled the bear on the dance floor out over Fox Creek. Then there was the time Ferlie Lambert blasted a humming bird with his 12 gauge because it would not share. Cletus Upshaw knew stories and had an easy way of sharing them. Come down to the wooly old banks of Auld Fox Creek and tell your stories. "Tell me why the stars do shine. Tell me why the ivy twines. Tell me why the skies are blue…" In Champion—Looking on the Bright Side!

Gompe Utse
The most sacred mountain in the region around Lhasa (3658m), the capital of Tibet, rising directly north of the Drebung-monastery (3790m), 6 km west of Lhasa. Before His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso left Tibet in 1959 it was a traditional ceremony, that every year the Dalai Lama, riding a horse, went up to the summit in a grand procession of pilgrims to make a sacrificial offering to Buddha. Lots of "Mani"-stones and prayer-flags on the summit still show the religious importance of this mountain. From the summit you have a great view down to Lhasa and over the wide valley of the Kyi Chhu or Lhasa-river. To climb Gompe Utse on the pilgrims-trail go to Drebung by bus or taxi and pass the monastery on the left side (In Tibet sacred places like monasterys, "Mani"-stones and other praying-places always should be passed clockwise!). North of the monastery the steep trail leads up a broad and rocky crest and then goes right (east) to the small hermitage "Gephel Rithr?" (4480m), which you already can see from Drebung. From here go up north on steep slopes until you reach the east-ridge at about 4940m. Then follow the pilgrims-trail marked with stone-mans, that leads you to the summit. It is also possible to climb Gompe Utse on the east-ridge, directly from Lhasa. From the Potala-palace go north to the location "Baerku" at the southeast-base of the long east-ridge. Then go up without any trail to the small peak "D¸nla Baerku Tse" (4218m), where you have a great view over Lhasa. Now always follow shepherds-trails near the ridge. First you pass two more small peaks, then the ridge ascends, until you reach a shoulder at 4940m, where the pilgrims-trail comes up from Drebung, and follow this trail to the summit.

The importance of T cell Ag specificity and Th1 vs Th2 phenotype in synovial inflammation remains controversial. Using OVA-specific TCR transgenic T cells from DO11.10 mice, we demonstrate that mice receiving Th1, but not Th2, cells display a transient arthritis following immunization that is characterized by synovial hyperplasia, cellular infiltration, and cartilage erosion. OVA-specific T cells also accumulated in inflamed joints, suggesting that they could exert their inflammatory effect locally in the joint or in the draining lymph node. Importantly, this pathology was accompanied by a breakdown in self-tolerance, as evidenced by the induction of collagen-specific T and B cell responses. This model directly demonstrates a pivotal role for Th1 cells of an irrelevant specificity in the development of inflammatory arthritis. Furthermore, the ability to track these cells in vivo will make feasible studies revealing the dynamic role of T cells in arthritis.

Why Ben killed Locke
February 25, 2009 by cappayne
I just wanted to start a discussion on Ben's deicision to save, and then murder John "Jeremy Bentham" Locke.
He walks into the room – Excuse me. He kicks the door in and storms into the room in an attempt to stop Locke from possibly killing himself. At that moment he wants Locke alive, for whatever reason. However, upon leaving the room, there is a dead Locke.
If Ben wanted Locke dead from the start, he either would not have went to the hotel or would not have convinved Locke to get down from the desk.
The trigger is after Locke gets down, Ben gets comfortable, takes off his coat, to start a conversation with Locke, when Locke brings up Eloise Hawking. What about Locke knowing her made Ben want to kill him? A few thoughts:
– The fact that Locke knows her makes him useless. Right before killing Locke, Ben said they would work together to find where to go next. Once Locke told him where, he didn't need him anymore.
– The fact that Locke knew Eloise sparked something in Ben's mind that made him know Locke had to die. Maybe some plan Ben had involved Eloise where that if Locke found out about her it was his time to die.
– Locke has too much information by knowing Eloise, and Ben wants to remain in control. When Ben tells Locke that Locke will lead everyone back on the island, he is lying, he obviously wants to be the leader himself.
– Locke's death had to be fate and not choice, as the late (we think) Matthew Abbadon said. So Locke could not choose to kill himself, and Ben was destined to kill him anyway.
– Ben knew that Locke committing suicide would not fulfill his duties so Ben puts on an act that he wants to save Locke from death, knowing well ahead of time that he must be murdered or accidently killed. Ben went into the room with the intention of killing Locke, which explains why he has all the evidence-destroying equipment to cover up a murder.
– Once Locke tells Ben about Sun, and that he promised Jin not to bring her back, Ben realizes that HE could bring her back, and since Locke has the ring, Ben could reverse the message (as we see in the previous episode). The comment that Locke knew who Eloise was was not the spark, but it happened to be said at the perfect time for him to be killed (Locke facing the other way in a wheelchair, Ben with rope). Ben looked at the rope like "this is a rope in my hand. Ropes can strangle people" and saw the opportunity to kill Locke. And once Locke told Ben was instructed to go to Eloise, Ben had everything he needed to go on, without Locke.
So these are just some ideas I wanted to throw out initially. Feel free to agree, disagree, expand, or add!

cappayne says:
Just wanted to add Ben's "I'll miss you Locke" line.
It makes it sound like he either thinks Locke is dead for good, he doesn't know what might happen to Locke, or he loves Locke so much that he will miss him until he gets back to the island.
Since Ben tells Jack in the season 4 finale that they will have to bring Locke back to the island as well, he may know that something is going to happen to him.
So all in all, Ben's reasoning/decision to kill Locke could depend on if Ben knows the fate of dead Locke.
The whole time I was thinking two things:
1. LOCKE!!! How quickly you forget Christian's instruction and discussion with you about Ben? And now you are listening to him, AGAIN?
2. BEN, you dirty little monster. Control and power are his motivators…always have been, always will be. The writers have given us clue after clue after clue that the guy is ALWAYS lying with about as much consistency as him ALWAYS having a plan. He needed information from Locke, since Locke obviously figured a few things out since the last time Ben saw him. So Ben's threatened, Ben wants the control, and when Ben doesn't know things, he figures out how to find out quickly enough. So, Jin being alive shocked him and he didn't know about Eloise. So he got more than he needed to proceed on, and then, he thought he would be done with Locke.
I'm so rooting for Locke now, which has not always been the case. He had a tough go at it as Jeremy Bentham…I mean geez, Even Kate was harsh on the guy!
Anyway, I think they have Ben wearing black for a reason.
In response to Ben telling Jack that Locke has to come back, I think that is based on the directions from Eloise. And that obviously came after Ben killed him, so I will go with the line of thought that Ben didn't know the complete ramifications when he killed John. (Which I think will have even more meaning in the episodes/events to come!)
ckchristian says:
That was a lot of good thoughts. I could barely think of one good theory much less a half dozen. I am hoping your second theory is true. I've always liked the idea that Ben seems like a bad guy the whole time, but turns out to be helping the island. Although, last night's episode does make me wonder about Ben's intentions.
Here's my thoughts:
Could it be that ever since John Locke has re-returned to the island he has had a different consciousness? Maybe the reason Ben says, "I'll miss you Locke" is because he knows that when John goes back, someone else will have control over his consciousness (Jacob or Chirstian).
Also, as almost everyone knows now, there is that anagram on the side of the van that spells "Reincarnation". Which literally means "to be made flesh again" or to be "reborn into a new body". So maybe John Locke's body was that surrogate for someone else's soul/consciousness trapped on the island. Perhaps, Jacob took Christian's body and Christian is taking John's body.
Or maybe the whole reincarnation thing is just a way to say that John has been reborn since he knows for certain that the island is part of his destiny.
lostfan says:
I would agree that Ben fully intended to kill Locke before entering the room. Probably since he saw him with Abbadon. though he insists he was protecting Locke from widmore. Who is telling the truth? Why should we believe Ben afterall? Why would he protect Locke from Widmore only to kill him later.
yet the whole outcome is still on Lockes side, with them all meeting up with Hawkings anyway and going back to the island as per his wishes. I think that Ben had to make sure Locke did not meet Hawkings for reaasons unknown. Perhaps she would have revealed something to him.
I also like the quote from the bible 316… he who shall believeth.. shall not perish…and now Locke has been resurrected.
LostHead says:
I think that Ben was never supposed to go back to the island. He knew this and that is why he had to save John. He needed to get all the info that John knew, that he was not privy to, because he is not supposed to go back. So when he got the pertinant info he knew he no longer needed John. I also think this is why he did not flash off of the plane. I think Ben has been the "master manipulator" this whole time, and that he is evil, and Widmore is on the side of good. Ben also knew that John was the "chosen one" to lead, which made him a threat to Ben being the leader. Also, I don't think we should discount Walt just yet. I don't think John has discounted him yet, and thats why he went to see him in New York.
I wouldn't discount Walt yet either.
Could the reasoning behind the murder be that he realized Locke was supposed to die and that he made a mistake by foiling the attempt?
With all that happened I still have faith in Ben. It seems to me he genuinely intended to help Locke – partly perhaps becuase he believed Locke's attempt at suicide to be an act of folly, but also because he honestly cared – but when John mentions Eloise's name Ben probably experiences a flashforward which makes him realize that he cannot and must not save Locke and that Locke indeed has to die.
A good reference on the subject is the conversation between the two that took place before Ben's first attempt at Locke's life. Ben said something in the lines of "I remember when I used to have dreams", I think what he meant to say is that he used to be able to predict what is to come in his dreams but now has to rely mostly on flashes that come to him at sporadic times.
Makes sense?
Big P.S. I'm basing this on the "subconscious knowledge due to reoccurence of time" theory.
highbrow says:
I'm not really sure what I think about Ben's plan here… did he intend to kill Locke or did he decide he had to during their conversation? I don't think he knew that Locke would have to come with then back to the island and that he would come back to life when they got there… if he did it probably would have been better to let Locke off himself.
It seemed at first like Ben was only waiting for Locke to tell him who he was supposed to talk to about getting back to the island before he killed him but John didn't really give him any information other than a name. So Ben hears "Ms. Hawking" and knows exactly where to go and who she is? If he knows all that then it should have been obvious to him that John needed to see her about getting back to the island. He didn't need John to tell him that…
It's funny though that Ben, the perpetual liar, was actually telling the truth when Jack asked him if he knew that John had committed suicide…
I generally don't put faith in murderers. I think Ben was grasping for straws when he tried to keep John alive. He was not quite sure of all the answers, but when he got what he thought was the final piece to how he could get back to the island, he no longer needed John. So he killed him. I think we will see the battle between Ben and Charles increase in episodes to come. Not to say one is evil one is good. I am not sure that they both were not expelled from the island because they were not the "one". I would not be surprised by this because I think that both manipulate to a degree that we can assume that they both could be evil. Ben was not supposed to go back to the island! I just wanna make that statement up front.
I think there are three sides here. Locke (on the side of the island), Charles (out for his own gain) and Ben (also out for his own gain). Neither Ben nor Charles are really trying to help Locke.
As for why he decided to kill him… He didn't really get any information from Locke. He got the name of someone he's already familiar with and who (to someone who is familiar) is obviously the person Locke would need to go see about getting back to the island. He must have had some other motivation for killing him.
I wonder if someone in the past told him that he's supposed to kill John and he remembered that right then. We've seen that happen at least twice now with Desmond (his message from Daniel) and Charlotte (when she was dying and suddenly remembered Daniel from her childhood). Maybe Ben screwed things up by talking John down off the table then set things right again by strangling him.
username says:
Highbrow, I think you
I really believe Ben is not supposed to go back to the island. I think that is why he continues to look for info. He does however seem to have a lot of resources, makes you wonder from where. I think once he found out about Eloise and Jin he no longer needed John. He must contact Eloise and coerce her some way or another to let him go back. Either that or Eloise thinks he is harmless. The reason he doesn't flash out of the plane IMO is that he was not meant to go back to the island. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I also found it interesting that John was so easily letting everyone know that he was dead only a few hours earlier. Which lends itself to the fact that he might be the true leader. I don't know for sure but he has changed since the first episode he was in. So maybe the transformation is complete. He is ready now to lead.
It seems obvious to me that everything Ben does is for his own gain. Including killing John. I don't think he knows John will come back to life on the island.
I think a main point of Ben's intentions in the hotel room with Locke is that he had all the supplies to cover up a murder. If he walks around with that stuff all the time, then that's a different story, but I think he intended to kill Locke from the start, put on an act that he wanted to save him, waited for the information he needed, found the way he could kill Locke, and executed.
By "all the supplies to cover up a murder" do you mean a pair of gloves and some all-purpose cleaner? He could have walked to a store across the street and bought those…
emagic says:
I think that Ben prevent John's suicide because this act is a great sin according Orthodoxy and maybe it has something to do with John's future as a "good guy". Despite that he HAD to die so the only way was to kill him.
oompaloompa says:
Ben always speaks with such apparent sincerity, always justifying his every action. And yet his actions always leave me wondering whether I love him or hate him. Ah, Michael Emerson really does an amazing job! Just wanted to start by saying that. :]
I have to say I was struggling when watching Ben kill John, because I always try to make sense of his acts and keep telling myself that it's all for the greater good somehow, but this… I was sadly thinking my Benny had betrayed me, but then you said this:
"- Locke
That was a really big comment, sorry.
No problem, I like how you agreed with that theory, it is an interesting one.
So Ben finds out Locke may kill himself, hurries over, put on the sympathy act, stops the suicide, gets some information in the process, and then kills him. Maybe he actually intended on going around with Locke as he says they will together search for where to go, and once Ben finds out he will kill Locke. But Locke tells him exactly what Ben needed from him, thus he kills him on the spot, Locke only getting in his way if Ben keeps him around for longer.
Now Ben can get everyone back to the island HIS way, using the "suicide" of Locke as a catalyst.
But if Ben is "doing good", then why does he MURDER Locke. Even if he thinks that he is doing the right thing. I just don't see the point of murdering Locke. Especially if by doing this he falls out of favor with say Jacob. I just think it was more likely jealosy or anger.
LostHead, how do you kill someone without murdering them?
And if he is doing the right thing for the island, if anything he would gain favor from Jacob.
The point that Iam trying to make is that if a higher being is at work here, especially one that Locke can see but Ben can't and one that some believe has to do with faith/belief in some higher maybe religious power, you probably wouldn't murder someone to gain favor. I think it might be more like jealosy and eliminating competition.
Ben is watching Lock, that's why he knew how to find him. I agree with an earlier post here that Ben played the nice guy to get the information he needed first and then killed him. I don't think he was trying to save John's soul or anything. I also don't think John would have been successful in killing himself as the "Island" won't let him.
jonaldo says:
I thought it was obvious that Ben saved Locke from hanging himself because he needed some information on how to get back to the Island, which Ben knew Locke would of had been given by someone off the Island. As soon as he had this information then he killed him for what reasons nobody yet knows. I just thought of something but i'm not sure if it's correct, but wasn't Jacks dad murdered?
Losthead, your theory about Locke having to die to be ready to lead sounds a bit like Neo in the Matrix hey? And we know that the Matrix was all about fate and free choice don't we!!
Andre7 says:
No clear explanation of how SPECIFICALLY Christian Sheppard died. Could have been foul play.
Cleaning products are used in hotels every day to clean up rooms by maid service. Ben did not have to go across the street and buy some. The nearest service closet would do.
I think the death of Christian was listed as a heart attack due to the high BAC he had.
jonoldo – I think there is more to it than Ben saving Locke for information. I still think that Locke comitting suicide would break the rules, so Ben had to murder him.
character0 says:
Ben killed Locke in order to get Sun to return to the island. For whatever reason, the O6 need to get back to the island (everyone seems to agree on this – except maybe Sayid). So, when Ben realized that Locke couldn't bring Sun back because of the promise he made to Jin, he had to do something because, as a member of the O6, Sun MUST go back. After Locke tells Ben about Jin, Ben decides that if Locke won't bring Sun back then he has to be killed (again, for whatever reason Sun MUST go back). Ben also realized that he could take the wedding ring in order to prove that Jin is alive, a fact that would ensure that Sun agrees to go.
I don't know whether Ben knew about Eloise or not. But Eloise alone is not enough for Ben to kill him. Locke was standing in the way of Sun's return and that was a serious problem.

Q: How to create a really useful index in SQL Server? I am learning to optimize queries and one of the tasks is to optimize this query (I warn you, it is VERY simple)
Select Emp.Emp_Id
   ,Emp.First_Name
   ,Emp.Last_Name
   ,Emp.Title
   ,Dep.Name Dept_Name
   ,Br.NAME Branch_Name
From   Employee   Emp
   join Department Dep on Emp.Dept_Id = Dep.Dept_Id
   join BRANCH Br on emp.ASSIGNED_BRANCH_ID=Br.BRANCH_ID

I tried creating indexes:
CREATE INDEX index_dept3 ON Employee (Dept_Id);
CREATE INDEX index_branch3 ON Employee (ASSIGNED_BRANCH_ID);

but they don't show up in the query plan and don't affect the execution time. Are there any other ideas?

A: Solution path A
Don't optimize until you need to. When queries start getting slow on the data structures and data volume you have, have a look at the execution plan (Ctrl-L); it will probably tell you where an index may be helpful.
Solution path B
If you already have an idea about your data volume and the selections you'll need, you might create indexes in advance. For large tables, an index per foreign key will probably be useful. Same for columns that will be used as selection criteria, in particular if they allow to reduce the result set significantly. So, an index on the last name will probably have more effect than one on the department number - but only if you select by the last name at all.
Years ago, they would have told you not to define too many indexes to avoid the overhead in keeping them up to date. In my experience, with tables of a few million rows, building an index from scratch takes no more than a few seconds, so the overhead argument is only valid if you have really huge tables or extreme performance requirements. So the main reason to define only those indexes which are really needed is to keep your database design tidy and slim. When you leave the project, your successors won't know whether this or that part of the database definition is crucial or not. No one will dare to remove any part of it, and your DDL will grow and grow, ultimately creating maintenance hell. That's one of the reasons to recommend path A: the premature optimisation anti-pattern.

Gaming: 'Friday the 13th' Latest Updates – New Maps, New Packs and New Jasons!
Published on September 27th, 2017 | Updated on September 27th, 2017 | By FanFest
Hello my fellow gamers! Boy, has it been an exciting couple of days in the gaming world, especially for those who are fans of Friday the 13th: The Game. You just got a ton of new updates!
NEW MAPS!
For starters, we now have a couple new maps! The maps are similar to the pre-existing ones, but they are much smaller. Creators of the game refer to them as '40% Smaller and 100% Deadlier'. Essentially if you are Jason, these play heavily in your favor. For starters, campers can't escape by boat at all. Second, your 'sense' ability can pretty much detect where anyone is hiding on the map about 50x faster. There really isn't anywhere that they can hide. If you're playing as a counselor, you better be playing as someone with high stealth and quick repair otherwise, let's face it, Jason will find you!
NEW PACKS!
The newest update to come out, is the 'Spring Break 1984' Pack. It costs about $2, and you can choose from several different swimsuits for your character. I'm not normally the kind of person to buy DLC's, but it is a pretty cool touch to the game. I was absolutely down for paying the $2 to contribute to future updates to this game.
NEW JASON/NEW LOCATION!
That's right folks, we will be getting a new Jason very soon! You can now currently play as Jason from Part 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Shortly (hopefully in time for Halloween) you will be able to add the Part 4 Jason to your list, in addition to a new location… The Jarvis house! For those of you who are longtime fans of the franchise, you know that Tommy Jarvis is the only male character to escape and defeat Jason on multiple occasions, pretty much making him Jason's sworn enemy.
FUTURE UPDATES!
While these updates are pretty awesome, they are just the first of many that will be appearing. We have also heard rumors of a 'virtual cabin' updates as well as a 1-Player mode, in which you won't have to try and connect with existing parties online (which can occasionally glitch out). Below is a road map of updates that we will be seeing in the future.
The game, which has sold over 1 million copies, will be releasing a physical disk copy on Friday, October 13th. The game is currently available for download on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
Fan Fest Exclusive: Jeremy Brown and…

Q: Computed Column in SQL server 2008 table How can I create a computed column like the following table??
ID Group Name Age myComputedColumn
-----------------------------------
1  001   FF   28  00
2  001   GG   29  01
3  001   II   35  02
4  002   AA   15  00
5  001   UU   26  03
6  002   BB   17  01
7  002   CC   15  02

In myComputedColumn, I would like to have value starting at '00' up to '24', after the row reaches '24', then it will create a new number which is '00' until '24'
How can I create a computed column like this? Or maybe I need to create a function when inserting a new record?
Thank you.

A: If you want the number to go from 0 to 24, then you would use:
select t.*,
       (row_number() over (partition by [group] order by id) - 1) % 25
from table t;

The % operator is the modulus operator.  It returns the remainder after integer division.
To get this as a character, the right()/append 0 trick works fine:
select t.*,
       right('0' + cast((row_number() over (partition by [group] order by id) - 1) % 25 as varchar(3)), 2) as ComputedColumn
from table t;

A: This will give value statrting from 1,2,3 and so on..
Select ID,Group,Name,Age,
       ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Group] ORDER BY ID) as computedcolumn
FROM tableName

You can change if want to start from zero , subtract by 1
Select ID,Group,Name,Age,
       ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Group] ORDER BY ID) - 1 as computedcolumn
FROM tableName

Ok , so you want padded zeros also , you can do using RIGHT()
Select ID,Group,Name,Age,
       RIGHT('0' + ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Group] ORDER BY ID) - 1 , 2) as computedcolumn
FROM tableName

Screen Icon Burt's Last Role: Tarantino Reveals Reynolds Read For Role Just Before He Died
Hollywood star Burt Reynolds had rehearsed for 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' just before his fatal heart attack.
By Zenger News Desk July 6, 2021
American actor Burt Reynolds. (Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
WASHINGTON — Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino recently revealed that late Hollywood actor Burt Reynolds was running his lines for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" before he died of a heart attack at the age of 82.
Speaking in a recent interview with a media outlet to promote the novelization of his 2019 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, the Oscar-winning writer-director opened up about casting Reynolds in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," even though they never got to shoot any footage.
In the interview that took place at Tarantino's recently purchased Los Angeles theater, the New Beverly Cinema, he said that "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was Reynolds' last acting gig.
"I got a chance to rehearse with him. I'm officially the last role he played because he came to the script reading so, that was his last acting."
The legendary Reynolds was set to play George Spahn, the real-life owner and operator of the Southern California ranch used for several Westerns before business dried up and Charles Manson and his "Family" moved in, as depicted in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Bruce Dern later took over the role after Reynolds passed.
As per a media report, Tarantino said he knew Reynolds died happy having been cast in the major Hollywood project.
"The night he died, before he passed on, he was running lines with his assistant," he said.
"That's like sad and beautiful at the same time. He was so happy. I can honestly say he died happy. I am not saying he died happy because of me, but he was definitely happy when he passed on."
Set in 1969, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is a story about a faded television star (played by DiCaprio) and his stunt double (played by Pitt) as they make their way around the industry to gain success and fame in the final years of Hollywood's golden age in Los Angeles.
This movie is the ninth film from Tarantino and incorporates a number of A-listers and several narratives to mark the golden age.
Recently, Tarantino turned the Oscar-nominated movie into a 400-page novel after two years of its official release.
The book, which looks like a pulp novel, has a tagline saying "Hollywood 1969; You shoulda been there!" and contains most of the film's lines and screenplay in addition to some fresh pieces.
The book begins with the movie ending, in which Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) faces the Manson family.
As part of the story, Tarantino explores more of the scene in Los Angeles during that period and delves deeper into Manson and his life.
Published by HarperCollins books, it describes the novel as a rollercoaster of emotions.
