Episode 1021: Five Things
May 9, 2017 Joe Caldwell, May 1970dan, fangs, scarf, superman, thirstyDanny Horn
"If you had murdered someone, what's the most logical thing that you would do?"
It's Monday, as you know, because here we are and it's Monday. Just look around, this is what Monday looks like. Right? Okay.
Now, I'm going to tell you five things about this week on Dark Shadows, and one of them is going to be hard to believe, so you're just going to have to trust me on this.
First: One of the main characters — who we thought was in love with one character, and has been drawn into a complicated relationship with a second character — is suddenly and without warning going to be madly in love with a third character, and then we're supposed to pretend that it's been that way all along.
Second: There's an episode this week that only has four characters — one nice person, and three nasty people who spend the entire half-hour criticizing her, gossiping about her and openly mocking her.
Third: You know that rape subtext that sits awkwardly behind practically everything that happens on Dark Shadows, including the vampire bites, the possessions, the enchantments, the body swaps and the aggressive reincarnations? You know, the thing that makes us uncomfortable, because we enjoy a show that expects us to be interested in the love lives of serial rapists? Well, that's going to graduate from subtext to actual text this week. In fact, we're going to see a villain do a brief monologue on the subject of how great it's going to be when he literally rapes someone you like.
Fourth: A relationship that you're interested in, and that maybe you're rooting for, will get blown to bits this week, and you will never care about it again. This is no longer a story about love triumphant in the face of evil, it's just a story about things that happen to this particular set of complex, haunted people.
Fifth — and this is the one that's hard to believe — this is what it looks like when Dark Shadows gets better.
Because Dan's back, hooray!
The manically ambitious Dan Curtis — the executive producer and driving creative force behind Dark Shadows, when he's not distracted by something shiny — has spent the last six months working on his first feature film, House of Dark Shadows, a period which roughly coincides with the show not being that great anymore. At the height of the madness, the six weeks of shooting the film, Dan and half the cast were in Tarrytown, New York, leaving the other half trapped in a parallel dimension of lookalikes and wanna-bes.
The shooting is over now, and everyone's come back to ABC Studio 16. The two stars of the film were the last cast members to return — Jonathan Frid came back two weeks ago, and Kathryn Leigh Scott last week. Now Dan has wrapped up his work, leaving the film in the hands of the editors, God and MGM, and he can finally take stock of what's happening with his daily television show. He's looked at what's going on, he's not impressed, and he's now fully engaged in the process of telling the entire production team that the show needs to get a hell of a lot better.
Now, I don't know this from any behind-the-scenes information. Nobody wrote about this week, or talked about it in interviews. All of the information that you need is in the show itself, and we're going to spend this week watching the show and reverse-engineering all of Dan's instructions.
The show's quality improvement program actually began last Tuesday, when Barnabas suddenly acquired an interest in one of the other characters.
Barnabas is currently stranded in Parallel Time, this strange desert otherworld where he finds himself a stranger in a sea of familiar faces. He's cut off from his friends, loved ones and existing food sources, which means that he is the only character from Dark Shadows that's currently appearing on Dark Shadows.
If we're looking for natural connections — people or plot points that Barnabas actually needs to care about — then the only one he has is to Will and Carolyn, because they know that he's a vampire, and they're protecting him. If something happens to one of them, then that automatically impacts Barnabas' story. But he doesn't have a natural connection to anybody else, and Will and Carolyn have no natural connections, either. Carolyn's pretty much cut off from her family — we haven't seen her interacting with her mother or uncle at all — and Will is treated like a friend of the family who shows up sometimes to keep the liquor supply under control.
So there are currently two storylines — the Angelique/Quentin/Maggie entanglement, and Cyrus' Jekyll-Hyde problems — and Barnabas doesn't really have to know or care about either of them. His only concern is that he wants to get back to his home dimension, which right now he has no idea how to do. But nobody really knows or cares whether he does it or not, and there's nothing he can really do about it, except go stand in the Parallel Time room and hope, which dramatically is not a rocket sled to adventure.
But the main character of the show happens to be Barnabas Collins, and he can't leave unless he's involved in the resolution of the existing storylines. He needs to earn his ticket home.
Last Tuesday, as I said, they took their first serious step in this direction, by giving Barnabas a sudden, uncontrollable yearning for Parallel Maggie. Apparently, she reminds him of Regular Time Maggie, who reminds him of Regular Time Josette, his natural yearning target.
Now, the other connection that Barnabas has been forging over the last couple weeks is a friendship with Quentin that appears to be based on a kind of meta-cross-dimensional awareness that they're both appearing on the same magazine covers and trading cards, and Barnabas taking an active interest in how Quentin's wife tastes is exactly the kind of irresponsible behavior that we need right now. This is Barnabas' core strength as a soap opera character, his ability to locate areas of structural instability and then do everything possible to make them worse.
So now Barnabas cares about Maggie, which gives him a reason to get involved in the Angelique story; obviously, he doesn't want anyone else to harm Maggie until he gets a chance to harm her first. Then we have to get him involved in the other current storyline, which is his job for today.
So that brings us to the latest felony. On Friday, our hero was finishing a perfectly ordinary social call at Collinwood when he was suddenly struck with an urgent internal monologue.
"The lust! The LUST!" he cried, in thinks. "I must find someone to make me stop thinking of Maggie! I must find SOMEONE!"
And then he went out and found someone, namely: huffy barmaid Buffie Harrington, who already had enough problems before this came along.
For the last month, Buffie has been romantically ping-ponging between two guys who are actually secretly one guy — the mad scientist Dr. Cyrus Longworth and his alter ego John Yaeger. They've been Jekyll and Hydeing for a while, mostly circling in a holding pattern around Buffie. She's attracted to Yaeger, who gives her presents and then beats the hell out of her, and she's also attracted to Cyrus, who says nice things and then turns into Yaeger and beats the hell out of her. She's kind of like Lois Lane, if Lois had really low self-esteem and if Superman was one of the bad guys that Superman usually saves her from.
So along comes this bloodlusting bat/man, which is the last thing she needs and unfortunately is one of the last things she's going to get.
Buffie screams as Barnabas bites her, and then there's a knock at the door. As Barnabas drops the girl to the ground, the door opens and it's Cyrus, and what follows is one of the Great Moments in Dramatic Insincerity.
"What happened?" Cyrus asks.
"I don't know!" Barnabas says through a mouthful of platelets, artfully arranging Buffie's scarf to cover the open wound in her jugular vein. "I had just left her after taking her home, and when I heard her scream, I came rushing in here and found her just like this!"
"I heard her scream too, and I was just outside!" says Cyrus, who will apparently believe anything.
Barnabas kneels next to her, and says, "Are you all right, Miss Harrington?" which is fantastic.
"You'd better let me have a look at her," says Cyrus, who's a doctor. And Barnabas just stays where he is, doc-blocking.
Buffie comes to, finding herself in a scenario that she hasn't been prepped for. "What happened?" she moans.
"You must tell us, Miss Harrington!" Barnabas prompts.
Cyrus says, "We heard you scream," and Buffie tries to piece all this together.
She lands on "Frightened?" which actually works as a response. She's better at this than you'd expect.
"Yes!" Barnabas says. "What was it? Something in the room? Something — at the window?"
"Yes," says Buffie, groping for daylight. "I thought I saw someone at the window, looking in."
Barnabas looks up, and says, "Cyrus, is there anyone there?"
And Cyrus, bless his little heart, actually goes and checks the window. It makes you want to cry, it's so cute.
There's no one at the window, obv, and Barnabas asks, "Are you sure you didn't imagine it?"
"I guess I did," Buffie says, because people are always imagining things that make them lose consciousness. "I do these silly things sometimes."
Barnabas helps her up. "I've been a little upset lately," she explains, rising to her feet. "I hope I haven't caused anybody any trouble."
And this works, Cyrus has no further questions. Buffie should get assaulted for a living; she's amazing at it.
Barnabas finally manages to get the meddling medico out of the room, so he can complete Buffie's onboarding as his new rape-survivor blood slave.
"You will do exactly as I tell you, won't you?" asks the hero of the show, flexing his supernatural muscles, and it turns out she will.
So Barnabas releases her back into the wild, advising her to stay away from Cyrus. This is rough on her, because Cyrus is pretty much the only person she knows, but she agrees.
Naturally, the next thing that happens is that Cyrus comes back to check on her, so she has to act weird and aloof and touch her scarf a lot.
She tells him to leave, but before he makes it to the door, she has one question: "Have you heard anything from John Yaeger?" She's trying to make this sound like an offhand question, but it doesn't work; it's clear that she's still interested in the guy.
So that's Buffie Harrington. Even when she's under the control of an abusive monster, she's still longing for the touch of the other abusive monster in her life.
Up to now, this has been pretty standard-issue Parallel Time lunatic mayhem, but here comes the clever bit.
Cyrus leaves, and suddenly Barnabas is in the room again, because he's wiretapped the apartment. "Tell me about John Yaeger," he urges, staring intently at Buffie. "Tell me everything you know!"
"I don't know hardly anything," she stammers. "Besides, the doctor can answer all your questions, he knew him better than anyone!"
"I want to see him as soon as possible!" Barnabas cries. "I have some questions to ask him, important questions! They concern a certain basement room, not too long ago."
Buffie is puzzled, but Barnabas has no interest in explaining; he's back to issuing instructions. "I want you to find out from Cyrus Longworth everything you can about John Yaeger," he says.
"But you told me to stay away from Cyrus!"
"Well, that was before I knew there was a connection between the two of them!" Barnabas cries. "I must find that man!"
Now, I don't know about you, but up until Barnabas mentioned the basement room, I had no idea why he even knew the name John Yaeger. It's a minor plot point from two weeks ago — Yaeger followed that unlikely secret tunnel from a cave on the beach to the Old House basement, and he was in the process of opening the chained coffin when Will interrupted him, by knocking him unconscious and dragging him upstairs by the feet. That moment was immediately overshadowed by the much bigger deal of Barnabas escaping from the coffin, so I'd forgotten all about it.
But this moment — Buffie asking Cyrus about Yaeger, and Barnabas overhearing — creates a natural connection between Barnabas and the Jekyll and Hyde story, giving him a foothold in both major storylines. That's step one in the Dark Shadows quality improvement program.
Over the next couple days, they're going to make some further moves along the same lines, building more connections between the only character that we care about and the storylines that they wish we cared about but don't. I know it seems tenuous right now, but this is the right direction, or as close to it as you can get on a Monday.
Tomorrow: Suddenly Shipping.
As Barnabas arranges the unconscious Buffie's scarf, you can see a strip of blue marking tape on the rug. When Barnabas says, "She's coming to!" there's a full six seconds where part of his cape is covering most of the screen, so maybe she should have been on the spot where the marking tape was after all.
When Buffie is arguing with Cyrus, the camera zooms in on Cyrus' face and has to refocus.
Buffie says, "I never want to see him again!" and Barnabas replies, "I, on the contrary, want to see him, as soon as possible!"
During Maggie and Quentin's scene with the mirror, they stay on the wrong camera as Maggie crosses the room. It's a bumpy ride, and then the camera pulls in on Maggie's face with a jerk.
Cyrus says, "I must admit, Miss Tarri — uh, Harrington, I was a bit surprised to receive your invitation."

I'm a little confused. Isn't the "frightened" thing a blooper, however well it works? I am assuming Frid didn't give her the right cue but the poor girl couldn't think of anything else to say.
As bad as the show has been of late, my respect for Chris Pennock has increased. He's so earnest and sweet as Cyrus and he works so hard as Yeager. He brings it like a not terribly talented but dedicated high school thespian.
We've shared in the past the ways that DS, with its helplessly determined pushing-ahead through actor stumbles and prop misfires, and its writing built around the actual time it takes an actor to cross from one set to another, its endlessly cramped interiors, is always going to feel, for better or worse, like filmed theater. The earnest amateurishness of young players thrown into supernaturally jacked up drama on nothing but sincerity and a table-read (and the marked difference in skill between the senior and junior players, (exceptions always noted, but still)) is another part of it. Maybe because I was one of those dedicated high school thespians when I ran home to watch all of this, I got involved with the very earnestness of the stumbles–it was the opposite of camp to me, I was half-consciously rooting for the actors, sometimes even more than for the characters. This is one of the uncapturable essences of Dark Shadows: I will always be fascinated with any DS reboot, but when Dan Curtis finally had a big budget, yawning sets, retakes, and an Angelique and Josette who could actually manage a French accent, I was was positively puzzled–a whole dimension was gone. The high-ambition, low-budget, edge-of-the-seat skirting of disaster, twenty minutes at a time, was part of what won my heart.
And that's what's missing from all the reboots, including HoDS & NoDS. Even with the same cast, the 'single take' immediacy was gone. And of course we don't want to see things screw up (I always felt for the other actor(s) in the scene, trying to figure out how to fix today's little disaster), but it does lend a kind of live theatricality to the show.
I felt like Frid's performance in HODS was missing something without the nervousness under the surface with the TV Barnabas. This could have been an intentional choice to play Barnabas differently on film, but there was something about Frid's anxious handwringing and gazes at the teleprompter that made his Barnabas endearing.
Actually, I suspect the difference was that Frid was a first-rate actor who had no trouble with his lines when he had the time he needed to learn them, which was clearly the case with the film. For the TV show, however, he didn't get the time he felt he needed, so he relied on the teleprompter a great deal. As he himself admitted, he was "a slow study" when it came to learning lines. So I don't think it was an intentional choice; it was just the difference that the film and TV environments made with regard to learning lines.
You summed up my feelings perfectly. Watching the show was like watching a continuing play every afternoon.
Count Catofi says:
Michael E-
-Count C.
A spot-on analysis. It also explains one of the many reasons the 2012 Tim Burton version was such a miss to me. DS in the 60s wasn't trying to be campy. For all it's technical flaws Dark Shadows was captivating and "real" but it wasn't over-rehearsed. I once thought it might be able to work again as a daytime drama, now I'm thinking it would only work as a low-budget web series with someone recreating the old set.
Yes, I strongly believe that DARK SHADOWS wasn't camp. There wasn't a bitchiness there (like what drew me to the camp favorites of my young adulthood like MELROSE PLACE or even NIP/TUCK). Nor the knowing winks at the audience seen in BATMAN or THE AVENGERS. DS committed 110% to the "reality" of its insane world.
One example that springs to mind is how on the final episode of MELROSE PLACE, Michael "lampshades" how absurd the show had gotten: "Hey, I used to be normal before I moved here." There's never a moment on DS where Carolyn says, "Remember when I used to annoy my mother by dating a beatnik? Now, there are ghosts in our house!"
Carolyn did make jokes about the house and the family in the beginning, very much like that, in tone.
Maggie did too, before her character changed entirely. Original Maggie was fun.
Not that she had the chops for comedy.
But Nancy Barrett did. Always.
Yes, yes, yes! I sometimes wonder if the people who don't "get" Dark Shadows are the same people who aren't into live theater.
Barnabas has never been good at staff meetings, has he. Immediately contradicting his own instructions at a whim. No health plan of course, although in lieu of coffee breaks, they get as much Collinwood wine as they can handle. (But that would apply anyway.)
You certainly clarified why this upcoming period, when I actually first started watching back in the day, was better.
This is another example of the enormous potential of the plot lines. I mean, when you get past the silliness of some ideas…the all-to-often poor writing…the "high school" acting… there's just something there that makes me want to know what's going on 🙂
Apropos of little (except it's in a lot of the screencap), how are they making the Buffy-do do what it's doing? Wig, right? I'm guessing. That would need a LOT of hair. And a retro-Victorian style(?). PT has this whole 'updo' thing going on in Collinsport.
Falls, fake pony tails, all the woman have WAY too much hair, except Julia, after she went au natural.
Do you think Nancy Barrett's earlier "flip" hair do was really a wig? That flip was so perfect – it was just as good as the one on my Barbie doll.
My mother got a ton of volume out of teasing, backcombing, and Aqua-Net. She and my aunt did have hairpieces, too, but only for special occasions.
Danny, you refer to "Buffie says, 'I never want to see him again!' and Barnabas replies, 'I, on the contrary, want to see him, as soon as possible!'" as a blooper. But it sounds perfectly correct to me. Or am I missing something that you're seeing (or hearing).
The blooper is the stress on "him" (denoted by italics). The stress should be on "I" or maybe "want", or almost any other word but "him".
Chris Bittenbender says:
I love this blog and have been reading it often over the past few years as I make my way through the series. The analysis is wonderful and I've learned a lot about the series that entranced me as a kid when I could steal time to watch (it was forbidden in my house sinc…I was about 7-8 years old when I became interested and my siblings were even younger). I think it is this episode where Angelique/Alexis brings flowers to Maggie and they wilt within minutes. Angelique looks at the camera for a moment after she has successfully accomplished this feat and it is a great moment where it seems to me a character tries to make contact with the audience.
Neil Meyer says:
Danny wrote: "So now Barnabas cares about Maggie, which gives him a reason to get involved in the Angelique story; obviously, he doesn't want anyone else to harm Maggie until he gets a chance to harm her first"
And that sums up one of the problems I am having with the tone of parallel time. A couple of episodes ago Barnabas was interrupted from biting Maggie because Hoffman was coming in as a part of Angelique's plan to ruin Maggie and drive her from Collinswood. And then Barnabas and Yeager take turns abusing Buffie—the ratio of villains to non-villains is all out of whack. It's honesty just too many villains! It's like preparing a meal in a galley kitchen when all of the cooks are supernatural, psychopathic, or both.
But this is also a time with Barnabas, Hoffman, Angelique, and Quentin sharing center stage, with Maggie, who was the best version of the Victoria Winters type. Since I am watching for the first time, perhaps we are heading to a Dan Curtis-led revival of the show's fortune and I don't yet know it. But given the grim tone of Danny and the commenters, I'm doubtful.
Milobot says:
We're supposed to be repulsed by, but still sympathetic to the "monsters" on the show. We're invested in them as characters. We're supposed to care what happens next and root either for or against said monsters. I just have zero interest in any character or story about literal rape. This is awful on so many levels.
I agree with Danny that the act of forcibly putting your teeth into a victim's neck and draining them of their blood is a rape. But to my knowledge, there are no vampires roaming the world. It isn't a real thing. The literal rape they're wrapping this horrid story around is a very real thing that happens every day and causes immeasurable damage to millions of people. It is not entertainment.
I think the music at the end of this one is a audio tape recycled from 1966- the theremin is a bit sharper than it's been since then, and we get to hear Bob Lloyd telling us that "Dark Shadows is a Dan Curtis Production." It's also the first of four episodes on which Indra Sadoo and Charles Gardner are listed as that least likely of Dark Shadows staff members, the videotape editing team.

Stuart is the kind of guy everybody wants on their team. His energy is infectious. His razor-sharp banter keeps the mood light, but his work ethic and talent makes your team better.
When I first started playing in the UK, I hadn't played yet for the National Team and didn't know much about him other than he was an American playing for Bolton. I remember reading the paper one Sunday morning and there was an article about him on the front page of The Guardian, telling the masses of the football world that based on his stats so far that season he was the most complete player in the entire Premier League. I immediately had respect for the man.
Not long after, I started getting called into National Team camps, and Stu and I hit it off from the start. I'm not sure if it was our mutual liking of singing Justin Bieber songs together, or if it was our mutual liking that it annoyed the hell out of everyone. Either way, it wasn't a surprise that we became roommates.
In 2010, the World Cup loomed in the distance and we were both in battles with our fitness, as I was just coming off a corneal transplant surgery on my eye and Stu had just broken a bone in his knee against the Netherlands in Amsterdam. We talked a lot about what it would be like to be named to the cup squad later that summer, and talked about the mental and physical battles we were going through just to give ourselves a chance. In all of our conversations, we always talked about the positives and schemed about our plans to make sure we were going to be named to that roster. The roomies made it.
Stu was at the forefront, making sure everyone knew the cues to when we would start the songs and get the bus erupting with the lyrics and laughter. After we beat Algeria on the last kick of the game to win our group, our bus arrived back at the hotel to find the whole hotel staff outside the lobby doing a choreographed song and dance to greet us in celebration. Stu immediately got off the bus with a vuvuzela and joined in on the routine with the hotel staff, blowing on that thing like he was one of the fans in the stands for our game. Although we didn't get past Ghana in the next round, Studio 214 had firmly made its mark on the tournament.
I only had a few more games on the National Team after that, and Stu continued to battle injuries. But every time I talked to him, his positive attitude always rang through. His infectious energy was still a catalyst to keep trying, and even just a few weeks ago when his decision still hadn't been made to retire, his burning determination to join the National Team one last time to see if he still had it in him was still there.
His ability over the last few years to keep battling and keep smiling is something that has never ceased to amaze me, and no doubt will serve him well in the future.


Rogers Wireless is trying to differentiate its BlackBerry Z10 offerings. One way they're doing this is through BBM Video Chat. Like iOS' FaceTime it allows for video calls over the network, which can east up data quite quickly.
Rogers is covering all BlackBerry Messenger data for six months with a $70/month individual plan or 12 months with the $80/month and $100/month individual plans. The same promo is applied to both the $140/month family plans and $160, $200/month family plans.

The body of an Israeli soldier missing since the 1982 Lebanon War was found by the Russian and Syrian armies and returned, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday. Sergeant First Class Zachary Baumel had been listed as missing along with two other Israeli soldiers after a deadly battle with Syrian forces in a Lebanese village. Russia said it handed over the remains to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is visiting Putin five days before he is to seek a fifth term in office in a difficult election.

Infanrix (diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid and three purified antigens of Bordetella pertussis [pertussis toxoid (PT), filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) and pertactin (PRN)]. The diphtheria and tetanus toxins are obtained from cultures of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Clostridium tetani and are then detoxified and purified. The acellular pertussis vaccine components (PT, FHA and PRN) are extracted from phase I Bordetella pertussis, and are then purified and stabilised. Infanrix is indicated for active primary immunisation against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis when commenced between 2 months and 12 months of age. Infanrix (DTPa) is also indicated as fourth and fifth dose for children from 15 months of age up to and including 6 years of age who have been immunised previously with three or four doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whole cell or acellular) vaccine. As with other vaccines, the administration of Infanrix should be postponed in subjects suffering from acute severe febrile illness. Infanrix is contraindicated if the child has experienced an encephalopathy of unknown aetiology occurring within 7 days following previous vaccination with pertussis containing vaccine. In these circumstances the vaccination course should be continued with diphtheria and tetanus vaccine. Infanrix is available as a 0.5 mL glass prefilled syringe containing not less than 30 IU of diphtheria toxoid, 40 IU of tetanus toxoid, 25 microgram of PT, 25 microgram of FHA and 8 microgram of PRN in packs of 1's and 10's.


Gov. Chris Christie signed nearly 30 pieces of legislation into law Monday, but a bill to force the administration to apply $300 million of budget surplus to the state's public employee pension systems did not make the cut.
Christie vetoed that pension bill, along with a second measure that would have forced the state to make quarterly payments to the pension systems rather than a single payment.
The vetoes are the latest salvos in an ongoing battle between the Republican governor and the Democratic-controlled Legislature over the underfunded pension system.
In late June, Democrats proposed a budget that called for the state to make a $3.1 billion payment toward the pension systems that was promised in a 2011 pension and benefits reform law, but Christie used his line-item veto to reduce the payment to $1.3 billion, arguing that was all the state could afford.
The governor also vetoed a proposed millionaire's tax and corporate business tax surcharge approved by the Democratic majority to provide more revenue for the pension payment.
Christie, who has made entitlement reform one of the major components of his presidential campaign, has called on the Legislature and public employee unions to negotiate new benefits reforms. The plan he favors would freeze the existing employee pensions and create a new defined contribution system similar to a 401(k) but under the control of public employee unions.
Democrats have said the state must keep its promise to employees before seeking additional reforms, but they have privately discussed some changes with the unions, among them increasing the number of years for the phase-in of the full state pension payment recommended by actuaries.
More recently, Senate President Stephen Sweeney called on the federal government to provide loans to states to help shore up their pension systems.
Democrats had pitched using $300 million in surplus from the 2015 fiscal year, which ended July 1 for an early "prepayment" toward the underfunded pensions as a fiscally prudent action that could have garnered goodwill with unions burned by Christie cuts to the state's promised pension payments.
In his veto message, Christie called the move an "accounting trick" to support a larger pension payment than the state can afford.
"In short, the Legislature is attempting to appropriate money that doesn't exist, for a fiscal year that has already closed," Christie wrote in the veto message. "Instead of accounting gimmickry, the legislative majority should embrace reality and join with my administration in a realistic discussion of necessary reforms to the pension and health benefits systems."
Likewise, in his veto of the bill requiring quarterly payments, Christie said the measure "does nothing at all to repair or reform the fundamentally unsustainable pension and health benefits systems currently in place."
Democrats had said both measures would have provided more investment revenue for the beleaguered pension systems.
"A prepayment would be the smart and prudent move to provide more fiscal stability and generate savings," said Sweeney, D-3rd of West Deptford. "It wouldn't compensate for the governor's failure to make the full, legally-required payment, but it would have been a step in the right direction."
"Employees have continually stepped up and contributed more and more each year, and the state must live up to its end of the bargain," said Assemblyman Troy Singleton, D-7th of Palmyra. "Holding onto this cash makes it clear that the governor would rather claim our pension system a lost cause instead of chipping away responsibly at the deficit whenever possible."
The leaders of the New Jersey Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, and the Communications Workers of America slammed the vetoes as lacking common sense and hurting workers.
"These vetoes are just more evidence that when it comes to pension funding, Gov. Christie always chooses the most harmful course," NJEA President Wendell Steinhauer said in a statement. "Quarterly payments are a common-sense approach to pension funding that would lower costs for taxpayers by using the power of the market. It's a concept that enjoyed broad bipartisan support until the governor politicized it. Likewise, prepayment of a portion of this year's pension contribution would have allowed the state to reap the benefits of market gains throughout the year."
Hetty Rosenstein, state director for the CWA, said Christie was deliberately harming the pension systems.
"Even when the state has the money — or when it wouldn't cost a penny — Gov. Christie acts to deliberately harm the pension systems that one in 10 New Jerseyans depend upon," Rosenstein said. "Christie may be out of state campaigning for president, but he's still hurting the people who live and work here with both his veto pen and callous disregard for their well-being."
Among the 29 bills Christie signed were measures to make changes to the state's juvenile justice system.
The reforms include increasing the minimum age to waive a juvenile into adult court from 14 to 15, and for transferring a teen from a juvenile detention facility to an adult prison from 16 to 18.
Certain young offenders also will be permitted to serve their entire sentence in a juvenile facility until they turn 21, and the Juvenile Justice Commission will be required to collect, record and analyze data on all New Jersey waiver cases and report on the findings.
Among the supporters of the bill was Assemblywoman Maria Rodriguez-Gregg, R-8th of Evesham, who was the lone Republican sponsor. She said reforming the juvenile justice system would improve the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders and provide relief to the state's overburdened prisons and correctional facilities.
Other bills signed by the governor would allow American Sign Language to qualify as a world language for high school graduation requirements, and expand the number of safe havens for leaving newborn infants to include firehouses and emergency squads, as well as hospitals and police stations.
Sen. Diane Allen, R-7th of Edgewater Park, sponsored the sign language bill, and Sen. Dawn Marie Addiego, R-8th of Evesham, sponsored the safe havens legislation.


The San Diego Padres and the St. Louis Cardinals meet in game two of their MLB set from Busch Stadium in MLB action on Saturday afternoon.
The San Diego Padres will look to keep their momentum going after opening the series with a 5-3 win over the Cardinals in game one on Friday. Hunter Renfroe had a pinch-hit two run home run while Fernando Tatis Jr. added a pair of hits with a home run and two RBIs. Franchy Cordero added a double while going 2 for 3 with an RBI to round out San Diego's scoring in the win. Ian Kinsler, Eric Hosmer, Manny Machado and Franmil Reyes each added a base hit as well in the winning effort. Nick Margevicius allowed one run on one hit over five innings of work, not factoring in the decision. Robert Stock got the win to improve to 1-0 while Kirby Yates closed out the 9th for his 4th save of the season. Chris Paddack will start game two and is 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA and 7 strikeouts this season. This will be Paddack's first career start against St. Louis.
The St. Louis Cardinals will look to rebound after their game one loss to San Diego on Friday. Paul DeJong and Paul Goldschmidt each had a solo home run while Matt Carpenter added a double and Marcell Ozuna chipped in an RBI to round out St. Louis' offense in the losing effort as the Cardinals mustered up just four hits as a team. Jack Flaherty threw five scoreless innings, allowing six hits while striking out six, not factoring in the decision. Dominic Leone received his first blown save of the year while Alex Reyes took the loss to fall to 0-1 this season. Michael Wacha will start game two and is 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 7 strikeouts this season. In his career, Wacha is 3-0 with a 2.32 ERA and 20 strikeouts against San Diego.
San Diego is 7-3 in their last 10 road games and 12-26 in their last 38 games following a win while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 road games against a right-handed starter. St. Louis is 4-9 in their last 13 games overall and 7-2 in Wacha's last 9 home starts while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games. San Diego is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.
The Padres have had a lot of recent success in this matchup, and Paddack looked good in his debut, so the plus money is worth a look. However, this will be Paddack's first start on the road and the Cardinals despite their slow start have been a solid team at home over the years and Wacha has had a lot of success in his career against the Padres. This looks like a pitcher's duel, but with the more experienced pitcher in Wacha at home, I have to lay the juice with St. Louis in this spot.

Somali hotel attack kills ministers
Hotel attack in Somali capital targets country's transitional government ministers.
The Somali sports minister was also
injured by the explosion
The names of ministers killed by the attack include Qamar Aden Ali, the country's health minister, Ahmed Abdulahi Waayeel, the minister of education, and Ibrahim Hassan Addow, the minister of higher education.
Saleban Olad Roble, the Somali sports minister, was also injured by the explosion.
Al-Arabiya, a Dubai-Based television network, said Hasan al-Zubair, one of its cameramen, had also been killed in the explosion.
The death toll is expected to rise.
Ministers targeted
The bombings happened during a graduation ceremony that ministers were attending.
Mohamed Adow, Al Jazeera's correspondent reporting from Kenya, said: "The graduation ceremony was for a group of medical students."
"Reports say that a man who dressed as a woman managed to pass through security checkpoints and enter the hallways of the hotel where he detonated himself as the ceremony was taking place," he said.
Adow said that there were reports of several journalists who were covering the ceremony that were also killed in the attack.
Suspicion for the blast immediately fell on the al-Shabaab group, which killed Somalia's security minister and at least 30 other people in the central town of Baladwayne in June.
"There has been no claims of responsibility for the explosion, but it has the hallmarks of al-Shabab which has so far been carrying out attacks over recent months," Adow said.

The Horn of African nation has not had a stable government for almost
two decades.


Even if you do not speak the Italian, I think you will like the beautiful video on the Val d'Orcia, "Orcia River Valley", from the RAI Uno Linea Verde Show.
Our zone of the Toscana is one of the most beautiful places in the world. In the video, the announcer speaks about the Chianina, a special breed of cattle that is used for the bistecca fiorentina, sheep raising, and also, of course, about the Brunello di Montalcino. It is very beautiful to watch.

If nothing in the world inspires me, a thought of this young man, Cobhams Asuquo who in-spite of being visually impaired since he was born on 6th of January 1981, has lived to become a multiple award-winning producer, songwriter and a well respected singer not only in Nigeria but in the whole wide world.
He has achieved practically almost if not all every man would love to achieve in life. He is recognized and respected in the whole world, he's married since 2010 to a beautiful loving wife worth dying for, he has a kid and doing well in every aspect of life. He has traveled far and wide, he's currently based in the United States of America only pays occasional visits to Nigeria.
More importantly, he is living his life to the glory of the Lord. A contact with him yesterday, Sunday 4th of October, being my second time meeting this great man inspires me the more, that NOTHING in this world is impossible irrespective of who you are or where you come from.
I have heard some people say, they ain't good enough, they ain't bold enough, they ain't old enough, they ain't beautiful enough, they ain't fluent enough, they can't write enough and all manners of excuses to do exploit in life.
If we can live not only in what the eyes can see but push ourselves at least a little bit more to the possibilities of our believes, we can do much more by the grace of God.
Be inspired! Believe in God, Believe in yourself. Go all out and achieve your goals regardless of what is and what is not. Know surely, every attempt takes you closer to the place you wanna be.
Good work Tayo. Kindly visit youtube and watch his inspiring message on TedexEuston.

Londolozi Game Reserve
South AfricaKruger National Park
londolozi
"Pioneering the safari experience since 1926"
Maitre de Maison - Chris Kane-Berman - View profile
True to its name, Londolozi has become a place that kindles the aspiration for a better collective future for all. We are a socially, economically and environmentally responsible business, representing the life's work of a family-owned and run operation built on solid foundations and almost a century of exploring new frontiers. It represents the dream of a planet abounding in open spaces, where wild animals and people live together in dignity and harmony.
Unique in the world: The reserve has been family run for over 90 years where the fourth generation of the Varty family welcomes you to this lodge situated in perfect harmony with the environment.

Some may attribute Londolozi's astronomical success to the property's position within the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, others will persuade you that it has more to do with its singular leopard sightings but the reason guests are drawn to return to Londolozi, again and again, has as much to do with the spirit of the place as it does with the land's geography and wildlife. Custodians and owners of Londolozi, Shan and Dave Varty guard that spirit fiercely, kindling what makes the place sacred.
The Londolozi Reserve, a pioneer in ecotourism in South Africa, is internationally recognized for its far-sighted and progressive land and wildlife management.
The land of Londolozi has been nourished generously through an ambitious program intended to rebuild the fluvial systems, restore the natural drainage patterns as well as repopulate and renew land productivity. The results have made Londolozi an extremely diversified reserve that is now home to remarkable wildlife and one of the most esteemed ecotourist destinations. The Maison has also collaborated with Land Rover to create prototype electric safari vehicles. In a wider context, the project contributes to a significant reduction in the impact of its activity on the protected natural areas of Londolozi and offers visitors the opportunity to approach wildlife in a more discreet and enriching manner.

More Than 20 People Arrested In Long Island Drug Ring Takedown
Suffolk County DA Spota: $200,000-Plus In Cash And A Dozen Firearms Seized August 12, 2014 at 5:59 pm
Filed Under:Carolyn Gusoff, Cocaine, Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, Drug Enforcement Administration, drug ring, Family and Children's Association, heroin, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Nearly two dozen people were arrested in the takedown of a Long Island heroin and cocaine ring, authorities said.
Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said sales occurred near major Long Island highways, with some regular customers getting home delivery.
The ring's customers were as young as 22 and as old as 65, Spota said.
Two men accused of being primary suppliers were charged with conspiracy to distribute heroin and cocaine. Juan Smith, 25, of Valley Stream and Elvis Castro, 28, of Amityville were being held on $5 million bail.
"These are pretty sophisticated individuals. They obviously have been doing this for quite some time," Spota said.
Prosecutors told CBS 2's Carolyn Gusoff a Brentwood home was used as a heroin packaging mill, with armed work stations, and it all happened right under neighbors' noses.
Undercover buys, electronic surveillance and wiretaps were used during the investigation, which led to the seizure of more than $200,000 in cash and a dozen firearms, including an AK-47 assault rifle, Spota said.
In all, 22 were arrested, accused of churning out seven kilos of heroin and cocaine every two weeks, Gusoff reported.
"That heroin, that three and half kilos, would be broken down, would be sold as 100,000 bags of heroin," Spota said.
Prosecutors said the pipeline begins in Colombia and works it way through Mexico to New York City, then to Long Island, with dealers serving 20 customers per day on the Long Island Expressway service roads and streets near the Sunrise Highway.
The drug bust was one of the largest in Suffolk County this year and more arrests were expected, Spota said.
Drug addiction experts told Gusoff crackdowns help, but more treatment options and education are needed.
"It's worse today as it has ever been on Long Island and it feels like it's getting worse each and every day," said Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, CEO of the Family and Children's Association.
The Drug Enforcement Administration said heroin is more popular than ever because pill addicts can better afford it.
"There is so much heroin available today due to the Colombians and Mexicans, driving down the price and causing the purity to go up so you don't necessarily even have to put a needle in your arm. You can snort it," the DEA's John Austin Jr. said.
Spota warned that with the latest suspects locked up, anyone who takes over can expect the same dose of justice, Gusoff reported.
It is believed heroin and opiate pills claimed between 200 and 300 lives on Long Island last year alone, Gusoff reported.

The Ultimate Fighter 17, Episode 5: Sonnen the good guy?
Beau Dure February 20, 2013 mma
The funny thing about this season: Chael Sonnen is making it difficult to hate him.
His pep talks to his team feel sincere and inspiring. He does a twist of the Hoosiers scene measuring the height of each basket, telling his fighters about a researcher finding people had no trouble walking across a 2×4 when it's down on the ground but unwilling to do it when it's suspended between two ladders. It's not the fight making you nervous, he says — it's the environment, with "Uncle Dana" watching.
While he drops the occasional Muhammad Ali rhyme ("How you gonna deal with the team of steel?"), he isn't trash-talking. He and Jon Jones have had a cordial relationship throughout. They agree far more than they disagree. (We'll see if that changes when the time comes to pick the wild cards.)
He's impressed with Team Jones' Bubba McDaniel, praising him for running on his day off and saying he wanted to push for a wild-card slot for whoever faces him.
This week, he called on his cool friends to help out. He got Ronda Rousey on the phone to talk with a smitten Kelvin Gastelum, promising to come out to Vegas to teach a session if he upsets Bubba McDaniel. (He does, and she calls back again while his teammates tease him.)
More surprisingly, he brought in Mickey Rourke, who has been a bit more successful as an actor than he was a boxer but is eager to tell stories of dealing with adversity. "Discipline into my life came very late," he says to an attentive group of fighters.
In today's MMA Fighting live chat, Luke Thomas said we may be seeing the real Sonnen now that he has talked and postured his way to comfortable positions as an analyst who is getting his third title fight. He no longer needs to do the act.
The counterargument to that would be that Sonnen did some bad stuff that wasn't part of the act. His non-UFC career led him to court. He had a muddled testosterone-therapy case that may have affected the performance against Anderson Silva that vaulted him up the UFC respectability ladder.
But if that's in the past, and this is "the real Sonnen" with a bit more maturity and responsibility, then a lot of people are going to like him.
Oh, and then his fighter upset Bubba. Not a bad fight at all, though Bubba broke down in tears of disappointment afterward. Kelvin, blasted by Josh Sannan as having "the worst diet in the house," looked solid on his feet and terrific on the ground. After a first round that featured more sweeps than the 1-vs-8 matchups of the NBA playoffs ("Quit floppin' around!" yells Sonnen from the corner), Kelvin established better control in the second round and eventually sunk a deep rear naked choke on the startled veteran.
Sonnen called it the best fight of the tournament so far, again complimenting Bubba. "One more for the bad guys," he says, still willing to play the heel even if he isn't acting like one.
We didn't see much in the house other than an entertaining game of charades. Bubba didn't participate, opting to stare at the fire and reflect on his troubled youth. "The law sometimes doesn't agree with me."
We also hear once again that Kelvin is the youngest fighter in TUF history. Not true. His TUF bio gives his age as 20. Patrick Iodice, who fought in TUF Smashes, is still just 19.
The next fight is Tor Troeng (Sonnen) vs. Josh Sannan (Jones). Sonnen says they made the matchup because everyone else in the house is scared of them. Everyone's also scared of Uriah Hall. Maybe they should just let Hall fight the Troeng-Sannan winner?
But earlier in the episode, we see that all is not well with the show's favorites. Samman is dealing with a few injuries to his finger and knee, and he asked the Team Jones coaches not to pick him next if Bubba gains control for the team. Jones appreciates the communication but worries that the better fighters are starting to dictate things on the team.
And in the scenes from the next episode, Josh is describing a nasty hamstring injury in his past. Over on Team Sonnen, Uriah Hall is falling into the old way of annoying TUF teammates, punching too hard in training. Ouch.

Jon Cooper Deserves to Lead the 2021 Jack Adams Conversation
December 27, 2021 December 27, 2021 by Eugene Helfrick
It's not a major revelation to say that awards can often be a bit silly. Trying to judge anything against it's peers, whether it is a movie, music, video game or even a coach, is an incredibly difficult task, as there will always be personal biases and differences in taste that influence the winner.
Sign up for our regular 'Bolts Newsletter' for all the latest.
In the NHL, the winner of the Jack Adams award for Coach of the Year rarely is the coach of the best team in the league. Oftentimes, those coaches get overlooked as they are seen to be carried by the talent on their roster to a top record, instead of how they utilize said talent. Typically the coach that wins the award was in charge of a team that was expected to be bad, and that disarray or lack of superstars helps them to get noticed when they reach the postseason.
Despite being one of the most successful coaches over the last decade, Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper has yet to win the Jack Adams Award for Coach of the Year. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
For example, if Bruce Boudreau is able to raise the Vancouver Canucks from being one of the worst teams in the league to postseason contention, he would be a surefire nominee and likely winner of the Jack Adams. However, if Vancouver's former coach Travis Green had led the same team to the postseason, it's unlikely that he would have received enough attention to earn a nomination.
Now, all this longwinded opening is trying to say is that Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper should be the frontrunner for the 2021-22 Jack Adams award. However, due to the success of the Lightning throughout his tenure with the franchise, he simply won't be.
Cooper Doesn't Get Recognized on the National Scale
Since taking over as head coach of the Lightning back in 2013, Cooper has done nothing but win. Now in his 10th season, he holds an incredible regular-season record of 404-203-57, which gives him a points percentage of .651. Not only that, but Tampa Bay have never finished with less than 90 points during his tenure (excluding the shortened 2020-21 season) and they only missed the postseason once (by a single point) in 2016-17.
In the postseason, Cooper has been just as good, with a record of 70 wins and 46 losses, giving him a winning percentage around .603. Besides this, he won the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons and has led the Lightning to at least the Eastern Conference Final five times.

Despite this consistent record of success on the ice, Cooper has never won the Jack Adams award. Even in 2018-19, when the Lightning tied the NHL regular-season points record with 128, he still lost out on the award to Barry Trotz, who took over a New York Islanders' team that was expected to be bad but went on to reach the playoffs instead.
Oftentimes, the reason for Cooper being left out of the Jack Adams' conversation is simple. He is the head coach of the Lightning, a franchise that is stacked with talent on all ends of the ice, and many see his success as a byproduct of this talent.
There is some truth to this, of course, as all great teams win on the back of their stars. However, just because Cooper has names like Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Victor Hedman on his roster, there is no guarantee that the team will still be this successful. Plenty of great teams fall short of their potential due to misuse or a coach just not getting the most out of their players after losing the locker room.
Despite Losses, Cooper Has Lightning Humming Along in 2021-22
Heading into the 2021-22 season, many expected the Lightning to remain contenders for the Stanley Cup, but there was also an expectation that the team would regress some after winning back-to-back Stanley Cups. They did, after all, lose the entirety of their dominant third line during the off-season, and had some uncertainty surrounding their roster with new veterans and rookies entering the lineup. This doubt was only exasperated when Tampa Bay lost Kuvherov in the opening days of the season, followed by Brayden Point shortly after to long-term injuries.

Despite all of this uncertainty, 30 games into the season the Lightning sit at the top of the NHL standings with 44 points. While this standing is a but nebulous due to so many teams missing games for various reasons, it's still a testament to how good the team has been in the face of so much adversity. Through injuries to stars, offseason losses, and even a stoppage in play, Tampa Bay has remained united in their efforts to create a modern hockey dynasty.
Yes, you can point to all-star talent stepping up and carrying their team, but at some point, you have to give credit to Cooper for what he has managed to do for this franchise year in and year out. He always finds a way to motivate his players, and outside of one terrible playoff series back in 2019, his players have always given him 110 percent in return
What makes Cooper special as a head coach is his ability to get the most out of his players, whether they are established superstar talents or a rookie who is just trying to find their place in the league. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
So, while this Lightning team would likely be great with another coach at the helm, that shouldn't be held against Cooper. He is a shining example of what a modern NHL coach should be, and at some point, the league will have to recognize him for his output both on the ice and off it.

He has written about the Lightning for six years, covering everything from their run to the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, to their crushing first-round exit in 2019, to their redemption in the bubble in 2020. While he is happy to talk about just about anything from cows to cars to video games, hockey will always remain one of his favorite pastimes.

Erika Goodwin, a senior here at Blackfoot High School, joined newspaper because she likes taking pictures. Erika's favorite things to do in her free time are to watch TV and to hang out with her friends. Her favorite television shows are Friends and Grey's Anatomy. One of Erika's favorite quotes is from one of the characters from Friends, Monica Geller, when she says, "Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're going to love it." Erika likes this quote because in six months she will be graduating and "going into the real world." When she graduates from Blackfoot high school she
would like to go to college and go into nursing, hopefully getting a good job.
Erika describes herself as easy-going and caring. Her favorite year of high school has been her senior year. This is mainly because she is going to be graduating. After high school the two colleges that she would most likely want to go to would be ISU and CWI. These colleges stand out to her because of how close they actually are to where she lives right now and they both have pretty good institutes.
Goodwin would like to major in nursing. The main reason why she wants to pursue a career in nursing is because her grandmother was a nurse. Her grandmother was a role model in her life and Erika likes to follow a path like she took.
Erika's favorite place she has visited was Mexico. She said that if she could choose anywhere to live she would choose Mexico. The reason Erika likes Mexico is because that was where her sister got married. Erika's favorite subject in school is math because she is good at it. Overall, Erika is an encouraging, caring person and an enjoyable friend to be around.

Barra brava member Maximiliano Mazzaro is deported to Argentina after arriving in Spain
By Frances Jenner December 7, 2018
Argentina ended 2022 with the highest inflation since 1991
One of the most dangerous members of the barra brava (violent football fan group) La Doce travelled to Madrid to watch the Copa Libertadores final on Thursday, but was immediately deported back to Argentina.
Maximiliano Mazzaro led La Doce between 2007 and 2013, an ultra-violent group of Boca Junior fans. He spent one and a half years in jail in 2014 for the murder of Ernesto Cirino along with two other La Doce members, but was ultimately absolved on reasonable doubt. He also has a criminal record for being part of an illicit association which sold fake tickets for football matches.
Mazzaro arrived in Madrid's international Barajas airport on Thursday with his wife and son, reported Infobae, but was not allowed to leave the airport and was placed on a flight back to Argentina that evening. Upon returning to Argentina, he told press that he had had no plans to cause problems in Spain.
"I haven't been to a game in five years, I'm not interested in Rafa Di Zeo," he said to Todo Noticias. "I'm not fighting with anyone. The past will not let me go. I wasn't thinking of going to the stadium, I was with my family."
READ MORE: Potential harsher punishments for violent football fans after River Plate-Boca Junior fiasco
Rafael Di Zeo is the current leader of La Doce, and there were concerns that a meeting between Mazzaro and Di Zeo could have had violent consequences. Although Di Zeo also has a criminal record, Argentine authorities did not ban him from leaving Argentina, although he would not be allowed to enter the Bernabeu Santiago stadium in Madrid where the match is being held. Todo Noticias reported that it was likely that the barra brava leader would remain in Argentina.
The Director of Security for Football Events, Guillermo Madero, told radio channel La Red that "Any fan with previous accusations of homicide will be deported by Spain."
"Entering Madrid depends on each individual, on their criminal record, their antecedents, it's a decision made by the Spanish government," he added. "What we suggest to those who have violent events in their past, and who have these kinds of antecedents is that they don't travel because the Spanish government is very firm in their stance with this. And those who do have a violent record will be deported or banned from entering the stadium."

— Policía Nacional (@policia) 7 de diciembre de 2018
Madero is already in Spain with 12 members of the Gendarmerie and the Federal Police, where they are working alongside Spanish authorities to avoid violence in the highly-anticipated game between Boca Juniors and River Plate.
Serafin Giraldo, spokesman for the Spanish police, told Todo Noticias that there would be 4,000 security and police agents present at the match on December 9, and that there would be a "zero tolerance" police on violence.
The twice-postponed all-Argentine final of the Copa Libertadores has caused widespread controversy, as River Plate fans attacked the Boca Junior players' bus on November 23, causing injuries to the players. Subsequently South American football associate Conmebol banned the game being played on Argentine territory, and the game was moved to Madrid in an attempt to avoid more violence.
This has also led President Mauricio Macri to issue a law proposal to make punishments for football violence harsher. Although debate on the proposal was expected to take place this week, it has since been postponed until March 2019.

He was a carpenter with a house valued at $3,500. They went to Detroit, Michigan for several years but returned to Chester again. He died at the Old Soldier's Home in Bennington, Vt.
HIS Wife who went before him: Julia Ellen Baldwin Cram was born 8 Oct., 1841. She married in Chester, Vt., 8 Dec., 1863, William Henry Harris Cram of Andover. She died of a cancerous tumor, 27 April 1909. She had been sick for a very very long time. She had no children. She has left her most devoted husband, and her half-brother. When Julia was 15 years old, she moved to Chester and lived in the family of Edmund B. Lee, merchant, until her marriage in 1863. William was a Civil War soldier serving in Co. "E". 16th Reg't, Vt.

Julia and Mr. Cram bought a place in Chester --a two-story dwelling with a lot of about twelve acres of land --on Cobleigh Street in the village, a place she owned when she died, and in which Hugh Henry, who was the administrator of her estate, asked permission from the Probate court to sell. Julia died of a cancer tumor at her home in Chester, Monday morning, 27 April 1909. Her funeral services were held at St. Luke's Episcopal church with Rev. C. N. Morris officiating. "She had been an invalid for some years suffering from a complication of diseases. Although Mrs. Cram was not able to go out at all in the last years, she will be greatly missed in the community, as she took an interest in everything, helping as long as her strength lasted in the work of the Episcopal church and the Woman's Relief Corp.

DEATH AT SOLDIERS HOME
William H. H. Cram, who enlisted from Chester in Company E. of the 16th regiment, Vermont, and who was admitted to the Soldiers Home here July 20, 1909, died yesterday after a long illness, following an operation at one of Troy hospitals some months ago. The remains will be taken tomorrow to his home in Chester for interment.
The death of Mr. Cram is the first that has occurred at the Home since June 19 of last year. During the first six months of last year there were fourteen deaths at the home, the same number as during 1909. It is somewhat remarkable that a period of six months should elapse at the institution, where there have been 90 to 100 inmates for a large portion of the time, without a single death.
