Vote-by-Mail Voting (formerly known as "Absentee" Voting)
If you are temporarily living away from home, find it difficult to get to your polling place on Election Day, or simply prefer to vote from home, you can apply for a "Vote by Mail" ballot. You may sign up as a Vote-by-Mail voter at any time, but not fewer than 7 days in advance of an upcoming election.
California law allows any voter to register as a permanent a Vote-by-Mail voter for any reason. If you choose to be a permanent a Vote-by-Mail voter, you will not need to request a Vote-by-Mail ballot for each election; instead, you will automatically receive a ballot in the mail for each election.
If you want to switch back to being a polling place voter, ask your county election office to do so or complete and submit a new voter registration application and answer "no" when asked if you want to get your ballot by mail before each election.
A Vote-by-Mail ballot request form can be found in the County Voter Information Guide booklet (previously called the "Sample Ballot") you receive from your county election office. Some political campaigns mail request forms to voters as well. Contact your county election office to request a form or to apply online, or use the Secretary of State's application.
A Vote-by-Mail ballot must be postmarked by Election Day and received by your county election office within 3 business days after the election to be counted. You can mail in your ballot, return it in person at any polling place in your county by 8 p.m. on Election Day, or to your county election office (most offer exterior drop boxes). If you are not in your home county on Election Day but have your ballot with you, you can fill it out, sign and date the envelope and return your voted ballot to any voting location or election office in the state which is required to return it to your home county on your behalf.
Many counties provide online tools that allow voters to check the status of a vote by mail ballot request and returned ballot - check your county web site for more details.
For more information about voting by mail, please visit the Secretary of State's web site.
To locate early voting and ballot drop-off locations statewide, visit the Secretary of State's web site.
Will my vote by mail ballot be counted?
On average, a small percentage of mail ballots cast by California voters do not get counted. The top reasons why mail ballots are rejected are because they arrive too late, or the voter forgot to sign the mail ballot envelope, or the signature on the envelope did not sufficiently match the voter's signature on file. If you vote by mail be sure to return your ballot on time, and to sign the envelope the same way you registered to vote. If you registered online, check your driver's license signature as this is the one that will be used for verification. Contact your local elections office to verify your ballot was counted and to provide a valid signature if needed.
All ballots legally cast in California are counted, regardless of whether they were cast at the polling place or submitted through the vote-by-mail process. It typically takes longer to incorporate all of the vote-by-mail votes into the final election results, but all valid ballots that are cast are counted.
If you do not have your county "Sample Ballot", which lists your polling place, you can call your county election office, or visit your county's election web site, many of which provide lookup tools that allow voters to find their polling places. Visit the Secretary of State's web site to find polliing places and vote centers.
Do I have to bring an ID to the polling place?
Most California voters do not have to show an ID when you vote - but you do have to sign your name in the roster at your polling place or vote center and do so under penalty of perjury. However, If you are a first-time voter, and registered to vote through the mail, you do have to provide a form of identification - this can be a driver's license or state-issued ID, or a school identification card with your photo, a utility bill, the voter guide your county sent you in the mail, or any other form of government correspondence that shows your name and address. If you vote by mail, you must include a copy of your ID with your voted ballot. This requirement was enacted nationwide under the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002. See this page from the Secretary of State for more information.
Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Contact your county election office to find out how to cast a Vote-by-Mail ballot. If you are unexpectedly out of town or have a last-minute emergency or hospitalization, you can vote early at your county election office. Your county may also be able to issue you a Vote-by-Mail ballot even if the deadline for requesting one has passed.
Yes. If you missed the deadline you can complete a conditional voter registration application and vote at your county's election office or at your polling place on Election Day or at vote centers if your county provides them. See this page on conditional voter registration from the Secretary of State for more information.
You must re-register to vote whenever you move. If you have moved within the same county since you last registered, you may still be able to vote. If you have moved within fifteen days of an election (after the registration deadline for that election), you can go to your previous polling place to vote on Election Day, or you can request a Vote-by-Mail ballot.
If you have moved within the same county more than fifteen days prior to an election and have not re-registered by the deadline, contact your county election office to get the location of your new polling place, or use the polling place look-up feature on that office's web site if available or on the Secretary of State's site. You will need to bring with you to the polling place two pieces of identification showing your name and new address (one piece is okay if it is your driver's license showing your new address), where you will then fill out a new voter registration form and cast what is called a "provisional ballot" (provisional ballots are set aside and not counted until voter eligibility can be confirmed by the election office).
The above applies only to voters who have moved within the same county, not those who have moved from one county to another. If you moved to a diifferent county and missed the 15-day registration deadline, you can visit your county election office, complete a conditional voter registration application and cast a conditional ballot that will be counted once the elections office processes your application and verifies you did not vote elsewhere.
Yes, California law requires that employers give their employees time off to vote in statewide elections if employees do not have time to vote outside of their normal work schedule but voters must ask for it at least two working days in advance. The law provides for a maximum of two hours of paid leave for the purposes of voting. More information is on the Secretary of State's "Time off to vote" web page.
If you have a concern regarding voter fraud, voter intimidation or any other irregularity involving voter registration or voting, please contact either the Secretary of State's Voting Information Hotline at 1-800-345-VOTE, visit the Secretary of State's Voter Complaint page, or contact or your county election office. Several voter advocacy groups offer an "Election Protection" hotline to help voters with problems on Election Day: 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
CVF's California Map Series features maps of all California political districts. If you don't know which political districts you reside in or who your representatives are, there are a number of ways to find out:
consult your sample ballot, or contact your county election office (many of their web sites offer district lookup tools)
use the State Legisature's look-up tool (legislative districts only)
try Voters Edge from Maplight and the League of Women Voters of California
The boundaries of congressional and legislative political districts are redrawn in a process called redistricting that happens every ten years, following the release of updated U.S. Census figures. Historically, redistricting for U.S. House of Representatives, State Assembly and State Senate districts is conducted in California by the state legislature. In 2011, for the first time a new Citizens Redistricting Commission drew California legislative district lines. CVF's archived Redistricting Reform page provides additional information about this important change.
Political Party Affiliation
On the voter registration form, you will be asked if you want to choose a political party preference. There are a number of qualified political parties in California. You may choose one of these parties or you may choose to be unaffiliated with any party. You may also select "Other" and designate a political party that is not an official party in California (meaning it has not reached the threshold of required number of party members to be considered an official party).
Voters who wish to register independent of a party must select "No, I do not want to choose a political party preference" when registering to vote. If you select "American Independent Party" you will be registered with a politial party and will not be registered as an indepedent.
In a General Election you can vote for any candidate of any party regardless of what party you are registered with or if you are registered with no party preference.
California's voters enacted the "Top Two Open Primary" system in June 2010. Under these rules, all voters, whether registered with a party or not, are allowed to vote for any Primary candidate of any party in statewide, congressional and legislative contests. In these contests, the top two vote-getters will proceed to the General Election, even if they are of the same party. Click here for more information from the Secretrary of State.
However, in a Presidential Primary election, voters registered with a political party can only choose among candidates for president who are registered with the same party (the same is true for party central committee elections). Independent, "No Party Preference" voters may have the option of voting in the Presidential primaries of political parties that allow No Party Preference voters to participate; whether parties allow this can vary from election to election, but generally the Democratic Party allows No Party Preference voters to vote in its presidential primaries and the Republican Party does not.
Consult your official voter guide or contact your county election office for a list of parties that will allow No Party Preference voters to participate in upcoming Presidential Primary elections.
You may change your party affiliation at any time by filling out a new registration form. Be sure to re-register at least fifteen days prior to the next election in order for the change to take effect for that election. If you miss this deadline, you can still complete a conditional voter registration application.
Political organizations can become qualified parties in California either by reaching a certain threshold of registration, or by petition. Detailed information about how to qualify a political party in California is available on the Secretary of State's web site.
First-time voters must register to vote before casting a ballot. Voters who change their name or move must re-register. To register, update your registration name or address, or change your party preference, you need to complete a new voter registration form. Californians can register or update their registration online using their California driver's license or ID number by visiting RegisterToVote.ca.gov.
California's online registration form is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese.
Registration applications submitted through the online system are sent to counties for review and approval before the process is completed.
Voters who do not have a California driver's license or ID card can still use the online system, and will be instructed to print, sign and mail the form once completed online.
Other ways to obtain a voter registration form:
- pick one up in person at a public agency such as the library, DMV, post office, county election office, city clerk, etc.
- call 1-800-345-VOTE to request a form be mailed to you
- call your county election office to request a form be mailed to you
Additionally, many campaigns and political parties send out staff and volunteers to register voters at malls and other public places. You may request a voter registration form from these people too. The law requires them to supply you with a form regardless of which political party you want to register with, so don't be misled by signs that say "Republicans Register Here" or "Democrats Register Here". You can also register to vote when you renew your driver's license with the DMV. The deadline to register to vote is 15 days prior to an election. Your form must be signed, dated and postmarked by that deadline.
You must be 18 years of age and a U.S. citizen to vote in California. However, Californians who are age 16 and 17 may pre-register to vote. Legal residents of California who are not U.S. citizens, and illegal California residents are not eligible to register or vote. Convicted felons currently serving a prison term or on parole are not eligible to register or vote (see the ACLU of San Diego's fact sheet for more details).
You must register to vote by the 15th day before an election in order to be eligible to vote in that election. If you register or re-register at least 29 days prior to the election, you will receive a County Voter Information Guide in the mail from your county election office; if you register between 29 and 15 days prior to the election, you will receive your county's voter guide only if the county has time to process your registration before mailing the voter guides out. Extra local voter guides are available at all polling places. Your registration form must be signed, dated and postmarked by the registration deadline. If you have questions about the registration deadline, contact your county election office.
California also offers conditional voter registration. Voters who miss the deadline can still register to vote at their county election office or a vote center prior to and on Election Day .
After you complete your registration form you should receive a postcard from your county election office saying you've been registered. You do not need to bring this card with you when you go to vote. Depending on which county you live in, this post card may be mailed anywhere from two weeks to three months after you submitted your registration form.
All California voters can check their current registration status and address using the Secretary of State's My Voter Status lookup tool. Voters in many counties can also check their registration status online via their county election web site. Visit CVF's Directory of County Election Offices to find links to these lookup tools. For voters living in counties without online registration status lookup tools, contact your county election office during business hours to verify your status.
All registered voters (except for those who register very close to the registration deadline) receive a "County Voter Information Guide" from their county election office. Registered voters' households also receive an official voter information guide from the California Secretary of State. Vote-by-mail voters begin receiving ballots four weeks prior to Election Day. If you do not receive these materials, you are most likely not registered at your current address and should contact your county election office immediately to verify and update your registration record if needed.
Yes. California implemented online voter registration in September 2012. Visit RegisterToVote.ca.gov to learn more or use the system.
Some non-governmental web sites also offer online registration tools - if you choose this option, CVF recommends that you carefully read the site's privacy policy, so that you are aware of whether the owners of the site intend to use your personal information for purposes other than to register you to vote.
California's voter registration form asks for basic information, including your name, street address, mailing address (if different), birthdate, the county in which you reside, and your place of birth (U.S. state or foreign country). The form also asks for your California driver's license number, California ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have these numbers, leave this field blank and your county will assign a registration number to you. (Note: for the online form a driver's license number or California ID number as well as the last four Social Security number digits are required to complete the transaction online).
Fields such as email address and phone number are optional; if you do not want to receive campaign phone calls and emails you can leave these fields blank (however, providing a phone number will help your county election office contact you if there are any problems with your form.) For information about choosing a political party affiliation, see the section above.
You will also be asked if you have been registered to vote in California before. This information helps county election offices remove your old registration information. If you have forgotten your previous address, or party affiliation, that's okay - just fill out this section of the form to the best of your ability.
Be sure to sign and date your form! County election officials cannot, and will not process registration forms that are not dated and signed (Forms completed online utilize your signature on file with the DMV as your voter registration application signature.).
Jury pools in California are drawn from a variety of public records, including voter registration and DMV records, among others. You can be called to serve on a jury whether or not you are registered to vote.
Although online voting experiments (from county-owned, polling place terminals only) were conducted in some California counties during the November 2000 election, online voting is not approved as an official voting method in California at this time. The debate about voting over the Internet and related security and voter privacy issues, continues; for more information on this topic, visit the Election Security section of CVF's web site.
What if I've voted by mail for a candidate who has since withdrawn from the race?
A candidate's public withdrawal from an election, once his or her name is on the ballot, makes no difference in terms of how votes for that person are counted. If Vote by Mail ballots are cast for such a candidate, they will still be counted like all other votes.
Under California's vote-enacted Top Two Open Primary Act, the rules for write-in candidates have changed. See this page from the Secretary of State for more details. In order to be eligible to receive write-in votes and have them actually count, a candidate must file a written statement declaring him or herself to be an official write-in candidate for a particular election.
Write-in votes cast for someone who has not filed as an official write-in candidate will not be counted. If a voter misspells the name of candidate, or omits part of the candidate's name or the office for which the candidate is running, the vote may still count depending upon a number of factors.
All statewide propositions pass or fail on a straight majority vote, regardless of topic or type of ballot measure. At the local level, some measures require a majority vote to pass and others, such as school bond measures, require 55% of the vote in order to pass. (The percentage required to pass local school bonds used to be 66%, but that changed with the passage of statewide Proposition 39 in November 2000.) Local tax increases for a specific use must receive two-thirds of the vote to pass; this threshold was established with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.
Voting is not a test. You do not have to vote on every contest on the ballot in order for your ballot to be considered valid and counted. Many voters routinely skip contests when they are uncertain of how to vote.
Once an election is over, the Secretary of State relocates the Official Voter Information Guide to an archive section of the agency's web site. You can access archived voter guides at http://vigarchive.sos.ca.gov/.

This project served as a simple exercise in playing with the idea of layering and 'add-on's (adding and reorganising). The Garden house is a result of applying new concepts to redecorate an old building.
The new layers include the courtyard that consists of a parking space and the entrance, new roofing, new gate, exterior floor finishes, and exterior natural embellishments.

Searching for Teen Challenge Boarding Schools in Vermont or Teen Challenge Programs in Vermont?
While you are looking for boarding schools in Vermont, would you also look at a Teen Challenge program that may be a distance away from Vermont? Teen Challenge boarding schools typically work with teens outside of their state. They excel in their devotion to helping teens from across the USA realize lasting life change and a new chance for a strong future.
Teen Challenge Exclusively Enrolls Teens Who Struggle with Academics and Bad Attitudes
Unlike traditional boarding schools in Vermont, Teen Challenge is designed to work with struggling adolescents who are spiraling out of control or showing a lack of motivation, rage, self-harm, dropping grades, substance abuse, or discord with family and others. As a Christian therapeutic boarding school, Teen Challenge believes lasting change takes place from the inside out.
The cost of Teen Challenge boarding schools may be lower than you might imagine.
Mainly designed to be a therapeutic and life-transforming program, Teen Challenge boarding schools also excel in its accredited academic program with fully equipped school facilities and certified teachers on campus every day. Course work is transferable back to the child's home school and diplomas are awarded to teens who graduate while in a Teen Challenge school. Their dedication to helping teens grow behaviorally, spiritually, and in character is matched by their desire to provide boys and girls with quality education and quality care.
Teen Challenge Welcomes Teens from Vermont and from All Across America
Adolescent girls and boys arrive at Teen Challenge from around the country, including Vermont. Most Teen Challenge students are from homes several hundred miles away from the campus. We find it valuable for teens to effect change in a new environment far away from their old peer groups who may be near Vermont.
Teen Challenge boarding schools provide a dynamic team of dedicated individuals who wrap teens in love when they are at their worst. Teens who are in our care participate in individual and group counseling and spiritual guidance. Teens proceed through five phases of growth until they gain a new outlook and are ready to return to regular life at home. Beyond scheduled sessions, therapy takes place as teens relate with our team of Christian mentors and staff during class time, recreation, meals, and even chores. Our staff live with the teens in the dorms and humbly share their lives out of a desire to greatly impact the teens.
Teen Challenge Residents Learn to Serve Others As Well
Another prominent indicator of growth is a desire to serve and share with others. Teen Challenge wholeheartedly emphasizes community participation and giving through serving. Teen Challenge teens serve one another, serve the community and learn to serve the world. Service takes place on campus; through local trips to soup kitchens, churches, and parks; and in missions opportunities such as building homes for the disadvantaged. Fostering growth in teens means teaching them how to lift up others, and we endeavor to lead by example. The volunteer work is completely charitable and unpaid.
Though You are Seeking a Program in Vermont, Please Also Consider a Teen Challenge Boarding School in Another State, Since Every Teen Challenge Program Has its Own Strengths
Please consider looking beyond Vermont, to see how Teen Challenge's one-of-a-kind program can bring about restoration in your family. Of the families we've helped over the past 30 years, more than 80% say that they have experienced restoration. To learn more, we invite you to investigate each Teen Challenge program and school listed on the home page of this site.
If Teen Challenge is not going to work for your teen, we'll put you in touch with other therapeutic boarding schools near Vermont. We're here to assist you either way. Please call or inquire online.

The Undead Amy Biehl
August 25, 2018 MHB Admin	19 Comments
Editor's Note: Today marks the 25th anniversary of American voting rights activist and Fullbright scholar Amy Biehl's violent death in South Africa. With South Africa already in the news over the past week a recent retrospectives have been issued by Biehl's alma mater, Stanford University, and weeks earlier in the Los Angeles Times, the latter of which played a major role in publicizing Biehl's apparent August 25, 1993 demise. The Biehl murder event took place at a decisive moment, as African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela's presidential bid turned on his portrayal as a "peace candidate."
Amy Biehl was a young Fulbright scholar in South Africa in 1993. She was murdered 25 years ago, two days before her planned return to the U.S. Four of her killers were found guilty of murder, and then granted amnesty. And her family forgave them. https://t.co/W3D4SfQucv
— Adeel Hassan (@adeelnyt) August 24, 2018
Author and attorney Alison Maynard, a longtime reader and supporter of MHB, examines the unusual circumstances surrounding the death and establishes a case that it was likely a publicity stunt carried out by transnational forces seeking to maneuver the troubled country's political trajectory toward certain desired ends.-JFT
By Alison Maynard
Saturday, August 25, 2018, will mark the 25thanniversary of the violent murder of American voting rights activist and Fulbright scholar Amy Biehl in South Africa. Amy was a blond, blue-eyed Stanford graduate aged 26 when she was pulled from her car in Guguletu Township outside Cape Town on August 25, 1993. While a mob of 300 black students shouted, "One settler, one bullet!" and "Kill the settler!" hoodlums pulled her from her car, stabbed her in the heart, and bludgeoned her head with a brick. One day after her death, a professor of Amy's at Stanford, Larry Diamond, pinned blame for the murder on the Pan Africanist Congress, "a relatively small, extremely militant political fringe group in the black community in South Africa … that has been more inclined to commit violence against whites."
The Los Angeles Times on Sept. 2, 1993, recounted the heart-wrenching personal visit Melanie Jacobs, Amy's best friend and roommate in South Africa, made on Sept. 1, 1993, to Newport Beach, California, to bring Amy's ashes to her parents. Melanie was accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter, Solange. It was Melanie who identified Amy's body after the murder. According to the L.A. Times, Amy—amazingly–climbed into a police vehicle after being mortally injured, and was driven not to the hospital, but to the police station, where she died on the floor. Melanie, summoned to identify the body, recognized Amy by the "clunky black shoes sticking out from under the pink blanket." She could not bear to look at the face. Melanie herself died tragically from a fall from a balcony in 1998.Amy's parents, Peter and Linda Biehl, went on after Amy's murder to form the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust, a charitable organization committed to providing skills training, such as bread-baking and knitting, to impoverished black Africans in South Africa.
Scholarships were created in Amy's memory all over the globe, including two Fulbrights named for her. The Amy Biehl Foundation provided a scholarship to Solange Jacobs to study at Stanford. The University of the Western Cape, where Amy was on the Fulbright, created the annual Amy Biehl Memorial Lecture, and a high school was named for her in Albuquerque. Stanford University created a veritable shrine, a repository of Amy's senior thesis and materials produced by the Biehl Foundation (although, surprisingly, only two photos of Amy). Her Stanford thesis adviser Kennell Jackson was effusive in his praise: Amy "knew everything about Africa" and "had been all over Africa," including in Namibia. Larry Diamond said he had seen her just three weeks earlier in South Africa, and had worked with her recently by telephone on the details of her admission to Rutgers University, where she was supposed to start work on a doctorate the month she was killed.
Possibly the hardest piece of news for the average American to comprehend was Linda and Peter Biehl's almost immediate forgiveness of their daughter's murderers. The Biehls were lauded for their resilience. They shook the murderers' hands and hugged their family members. Even more difficult to comprehend, the Amy Biehl Foundation gave two of Amy's murderers scholarships to attend Stanford, after they were pardoned by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
At least, the foregoing is what was reported. There are curious inconsistencies in the reportage, however. The March 1994 Stanford Magazine article says Amy went to high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico; the L.A. Times says not only that she attended Newport Harbor High School in Newport Beach, California, but that she was valedictorian there. The 1985 yearbook of Newport Harbor High does not even list her in the index. The Stanford Magazine article–written (oddly) by a Sports Illustrated writer, Phil Taylor—quotes Linda Biehl as saying Amy's ashes were "sent to us." Linda says again, here, that Amy's ashes came home in an American Airlines bag. But no—they were personally delivered by Melanie Jacobs, weren't they? Solange, now 36, remembers that she and her mother were so mobbed by press on that trip, they were escorted by airport personnel through a tunnel at Heathrow.More inquiries pulled up more things, making this story start to smell like old tuna casserole from the back of the fridge. The official list of Fulbright winners does not contain the name "Amy Biehl." She was not a Fulbright scholar, therefore, despite the New York Times, Los Angeles Times–and other publications around the world–insisting that she was. There is no death certificate for Amy, either in the United States or in South Africa.
As an American citizen, she would have had a Social Security number, and her death would have been reported in the Social Security Death Index; but she is not listed on the SSDI. She was never registered as a student at the University of the Western Cape. She never had a California driver's license, even though she registered to vote in California both in 1986 and 1992, and listed 647 Irvine Ave., Newport Beach, California as her permanent residence in a 1991 application to the State Department.
There is an autopsy report prepared on August 26, 1993, but this document does not bear her name, nor state her hair and eye color. It describes her physique as "small"–5'4½" and 117 lbs–although Solange Jacobs, who lived with Amy for ten months, says she was 5'6" or 5'7". The report was signed by the state pathologist for South Africa, Gideon Knobel, M.D., the son of a former Nationalist Party member of Parliament. It mentions only one stab wound. In October 1993, Knobel added an addendum to address an odd dissection of "Amy Biehl's brain" two months after her cremated remains had been delivered to her parents. This addendum bears the only mention of the name "Amy Biehl" in the report.
The South African Police produced almost nothing in response to requests for records—and the photos it did provide do not indicate that any crime, at all, occurred. No pictures of a body, no blood, not even the "mustard yellow Mazda" Amy supposedly drove and was pulled out of (described in the court judgment as "beige"). The SAP refused access to witness statements, because to provide them would constitute "too large a diversion of resources." It also withheld autopsy photos, because it wishes to protect the public from such "graphic photos" and to "protect the human dignity of the parents and family."
After a year and a half of effort I was provided none of the records from the trial which was held, resulting in—four convictions, as evidenced by the applications for amnesty to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and reported by the L.A. Times in 1998? Or was it three, as a Stanford press release reported in 1994? The L.A. Times told us in 1993 that only three suspects were taken to trial. So, three defendants; four convictions. Whatever, the convictions were based on confessions and secret evidence taken by the judge from unnamed witnesses in a non-jury trial. The L.A. Times took care, however, to report the horrifying laughter which burst from the gallery during the trial, when a prosecution witness described the vicious stabbing of Amy Biehl.
The people laughing may have known something L.A. Times readers didn't: that the whole thing was a hoax. Most problematic for the official story is that there is a person who shares Amy Elizabeth Biehl's date of birth (April 26, 1967) and address of 647 Irvine Ave., Newport Beach, California, named Amy Elizabeth Byrd. In November 2014 Amy Elizabeth Byrd came up in Intelius and similar services as "associated with" Amy Elizabeth Biehl, as well as Amy Biehl's father Peter, mother Linda, sister Molly Corbin, and brother Zach Biehl; along with several Byrds. In January 2016, Intelius added the helpful detail "Stanford" to Amy Byrd's profile, as well as the name "William Biehl," Amy's grandfather. There are two other addresses it gives for Amy E. Byrd, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Warrenton, Missouri. At these addresses, too, she is listed as associated with Amy E. Biehl.
So it appears Amy is alive. She just got married and changed her name.
Walking in the Shoes of the Hoaxsters
Peter J. Biehl, who died at age 59 in 2003, met and married Linda while a student at Whittier College in California in the 1960's. At Whittier, his passion was acting and he appeared in several student productions. His dramatic experience would be an obvious plus in his later role as the father of a murdered female activist.
Peter had an amazing career. He took his young family to Tucson, Arizona, as is apparent from Amy's second-grade class picture at "Harelson School, Tucson," included in the Stanford Magazine article. As a newly minted college grad and father in 1967, Peter became employed in the company headed by his dad, Fry Consultants, Inc., the Southwest regional office—and Peter rose to head it, himself. Then, Peter became the CEO of American Atomics in Tucson, which made luminous watch dials. He ran into trouble in 1979 when the company was tied to tritium-contaminated food in school lunchrooms. Tritium-contaminated food?? Huge amounts of tritium were unaccounted for. Arizona governor Bruce Babbitt had to order the National Guard in. How this could happen was never explained, any more than was the placing of drama major Peter Biehl at the helm of American Atomics.
So the Biehls, along with American Atomics, evaporated from Tucson. At some point, Peter and Linda became associated with three different residence addresses in Newport Beach, California (Orange County), as well as one in La Quinta, CA (Riverside County). At all four they accumulated a huge pile of tax liens, both from the IRS and the State of California. There are also releases recorded after 1993 for most of those liens. Strangely, no deeds come up in Peter and Linda's names for any of the Orange County addresses, including 647 Irvine Ave. and 9 Kamalii Court in Newport Beach, which Amy used for voting registration in 1986 and 1992.
Amy also gave 647 Irvine Ave. as her permanent address in her 1989 passport application. How can there be liens in Peter and Linda's names recorded against properties they did not have title to? Of course there can't. Although Orange County property records prior to 1982 are not available online, there are no deeds from 1983 to 2016, either, showing these properties were ever conveyed away. And, according to this letter, Amy was in high school in Santa Fe in 1985! The liens must be bogus, which makes it highly probable the releases functioned as a payoff mechanism, convenient because the payor is not identified. So much for the investigatory acumen of the Los Angeles Times reporters. They sure missed the boat. Except: the L.A. Times was on the boat. Consider these sly headlines, "Life After Death" and "Biehl's Living Legacy." Stanford University was on the boat, too.
Maybe Peter's most important role in life was to take the missing tritium to Los Alamos. And maybe that's why he died of cancer at age 59. But at this point I am connecting dots rather far off the page. Sure, there could be lots of reasons why the Biehls moved to Santa Fe! Or was it Albuquerque? Or Newport Beach? Whatever.
Peter's brother, David "Larry" Biehl, had a role to play. Larry is an investment adviser who appeared regularly on "Wall Street Week" in the 1980's. Those appearances stopped in 1987. Larry is a Stanford graduate, too. It would appear he is the "money man" for the Amy Biehl Foundation, since he resides in San Marcos, California, where the foundation is based. Larry is a founder of the "Da Vinci Society," whose website, after my first inspection of it, a few days later came up "Page Not Found." In a preface he wrote on behalf of the Da Vinci Society for someone else's book, he talked about "transpartisanship," a word I had never encountered before.
But there is another Larry interested in "transpartisanship," that being Larry Jay Diamond, the Stanford professor—who, in fact, is not listed in the Stanford Yearbook of 1989, the year Amy graduated, so maybe he never knew Amy Biehl at Stanford, at all. In fact, when asked for an interview, he denied knowing Amy very well.
Diamond's name may be prophetic, because South Africa is all about diamonds, and gold. The Stanford professor has been involved in "democracy movements" not only in Africa, but all over the world. Importantly, he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Rockefeller-funded and-operated think tank which controls the major U.S. media outlets. The CFR tells the Central Intelligence Agency and State Department what to do.
The Fulbright Foundation has also been pegged as a CIA front, which explains why it would go along with the false information that Amy had won a Fulbright fellowship. It is fair to say Larry Diamond is more interested in regime change in the service of corporate interests than in actual democracy, therefore. For example, he "served as the inspiration" for a documentary which went viral, entitled "I am a Ukrainian," purporting to be a grass roots production but, in reality, linked to "shadowy NGO's that have been directly involved in starting phony 'color revolutions' in the past."
The conclusion is inescapable that the Biehls are a spook family. More evidence is the company both William and Peter worked for in Tucson, George Fry & Associates–"Fry Consultants, Inc." by 1968–represented vaguely as a "management and marketing firm." George Fry, listed in "10,000 Famous Freemasons," was a partner in spy contractor Booz, Fry, Allen & Hamilton, now Booz Allen Hamilton, owned by the Carlyle Group. Booz Allen Hamilton was Edward Snowden's employer. Under William Joseph Biehl's stewardship the company had 250 of Fortune Magazine's "Top 500" companies for clients, a remarkable achievement which can only with difficulty be conceived as the result of simple hard work.
As for Amy, maybe she was truly passionate about Africa and felt the permanent erasure of her identity was worth it, to "further democracy." Phil Taylor and Kennell Jackson, Jr., both black men, might similarly have played along in the belief they were furthering a noble cause. That cause would be the first multiracial elections in South Africa, set for April 27, 1994—and specifically, victory for the ANC. The dead girl's birthday fell on April 26th, the day before, providing an opportunity to bring it up all over again, to remind the electorate about Amy Biehl the dedicated white activist murdered by the Pan Africanist Students' Organization, while the voting was going on. The CIA wanted the people, 17 million of whom were black Africans voting for the first time, to give a mandate to Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress, presented as the peace candidates (despite their own extensive history of violence). It did this at least in part by portraying the Pan-Africanist Congress as the murderers of Amy Biehl.
It is beyond the scope of this article to examine to what extent Mandela and the ANC were creatures of the CIA, but it is clear, in retrospect, that they were–and are. Patrick Bond, a South African economist, has analyzed the ANC's role in permitting the largest companies, such as Anglo-American and DeBeers, to change their location of ownership from Johannesburg to London, causing an irretrievable currency crash. While ANC chiefs ride around in limousines, 35% of South Africans are unemployed, struggling with high crime rates, frequent power outages, and substandard education and health care. As dozens of striking mine workers executed in cold blood by ANC goons in 2012 found out, you stand up for your rights in South Africa, you die.
Despite the U.S. government's profession of anti-apartheid goals, American corporate interests were always entwined with the Nationalist Party—the Afrikaners. The CIA's desire, and strategy, would be to protect and perpetuate the privileges these economic interests enjoyed under Nationalist Party rule, even while creating the illusion of a huge shift to majority rule. The CIA would not stand idly by, to only passively observe such a momentous event as this 1994 election, which might jeopardize the interests of American and multinational corporations.
It is well within the ambit of known CIA behavior to concoct psy ops such as the "murder of Amy Biehl by the PAC" to influence the election. The bimonthly trips made by CIA asset Linda Biehl to South Africa in connection with the Amy Biehl Foundation later, not to mention the $500,000 initial grant to it, also ought to raise a few eyebrows. Is she smuggling diamonds? I'm not making that comment in jest. That tunnel at Heathrow may be used to evade customs.
In particular, now we know why it was so easy for Linda and Peter Biehl to be "resilient," and forgive their daughter's murderers. There was no murder to forgive.

How does it benefit the Afrikaners to allow the Boers to be killed off?
Alison Maynard says:
Don't really understand your question, since Boers are Afrikaners. But I think you mean, how does it benefit the former white ruling members of the Nationalist Party.
Those wielding power behind the scenes don't care who is killed as long as they continue to hold the reins of economic power. Doesn't matter if the figureheads are black or white.
By the way, the New York Times had only one small mention of Amy Biehl in its issue today (Aug. 25), in "Today in History." So looks like they are busy burying this scam.
Looks like a link did not make it into this version. It has a photo of David Rockefeller and Nelson Mandela, very chummy:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/david-rockefeller-a7640396.html
Alison, could you explain succinctly how Amy's death and her parents' ostentatious forgiving of her murderers (or alleged) helped the ruling Nationalist Party?
You don't really say in your essay how such a display bettered their cause. Certainly your proofs of the incident's inauthenticity seem convincing and valid, but can you boil down how it was good PR?
I'm a blondish/light blue eyed woman who at Amy's age endured a fair amount of violence from black men in dangerous american urban environments so perhaps the message is clouded for me.
I've always thought the Biehls' behavior bizarre, like lots of people I'd suppose.
Boers are a subset of Afrikaners upon refreshing my memory via google – mostly dutch farmers. I'd say the city-dwelling Afrikaners are of higher economic class and include jews. There has to be significant class and ethnic tension between the two groups.
Offering Amy up on the altar of 'progress' likely mollified the black population's desire for revenge and free stuff.
Sorry if that offends you, Alison, but this has to be the case. Your essay is excellent detective work and insight into a certain political dimension but you're sort of ignoring an entire different level I think.
Thanks for your kind words, Sue. I didn't mean to imply that the Biehl caper, and apparent (as opposed to real) transition to majority rule, benefited the Nationalist Party. I meant to imply that it benefited the bankers and resource extractors.

I wrote about the several thousand SA farmer murders in my local paper in LTTE. Before they published it, they didn't believe me and asked for documentation. So I sent the Editor a youtube link that showed the President of SA Zuma leading a large Mob singing of a banned song titled "Shoot the Boer/Kill the Farmer". His second in command Julius Malema is shown acting out the machine gunning farmers part in mime. It was surreal and frightening. It simply left no doubt that the ANC supports murdering White Farmers, even if not actively involved in it. Many indications are that it's both. High tech cell phone jamming gear is used. Most attacks occur late at night in remote areas. Senior citizen farmers are often the targets of choice. The horrific ways these farmers are killed usually involves gang rape and torture of all age groups and genders. Often nothing is robbed except for the guns and a vehicle. One girl was raped from midnight until dawn. One father's eye lids were cut off so he couldn't close his eyes while his daughters and wife were raped and tortured. Children drowned in scalding hot water. Hot clothes irons have been used to torture and broken bottles to rape. You would be really fortunate if you were merely shot to death during one of these attacks.
Everything you heard about that peaceful rainbow race love fest is a savage lie. These people are barbarians of the highest magnitude. They have no knowledge of SA's actual history, that no Black tribes were native to SA, only a small brown tribe related to the Kalhari Bushmen in "The Gods Must Be Crazy" movie and the Dutch settlement occurred long before the marauding Zulus invaded. The Blacks in charge of South Africa have institutionalized racism toward the White Population in a way that Apartheid never dared inflict on Blacks when they ran the show. There's now half a million Whites living in abject squalor. The Blacks did zero to lift the Black population out of poverty, except for their political cronies who live the life of luxury and privilege. But they did manage to drag half a million whites down to living in shacks and begging for scraps in just 23 years of calling the shots. The formerly first world country of SA is now a cess pit of lawlessness. The Johannesburg Airport staff were implicated in the "follow home robberies". Airport staff was profiling the travelers as targets for robbery when the arrived home. The paper published the locations of the most likely places to get car jacked. 13 of them were close to the airport. If you encounter the Police, they are as likely to be criminals as the general population. One woman reported a rape to police and was raped again, by the police she reported it to.

They still believe in Witch Doctors over there. Their suggested cure for AIDS is to go rape a virgin, a White one preferably and the younger the better chance of being an actual virgin.
Anne Berg says:
A very young Peter Biehl running American Atomics Corporation in Tucson is a story all to itself. Radioactive tritium leaked from the plant into a school kitchen, a senior citizen center and swimming pools while Biehl denied any problems. On July 4, 1979 even NYT published a decent story on the leak at American Atomics.
The work Sunny did on the circumstances around Amy Biehl's "death" is one of a kind. No other researcher worth his or her salt ever questioned the official story.
This is from Palm Spring's Desert Sun:

Guardsmen seize atomic substance Tucson actions called 'crazy'

Here is the article from the link provided by Anne Berg. Looks like the inmates had taken over the asylum that day.
Desert Sun, Number 360, 27 September 1979 — Guardsmen seize atomic substance Tucson actions called 'crazy' [ARTICLE] Quote:
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Acting on Gov, Bruce Babbitt's orders, National Guardsmen have entered the American Atomics Corp. plant and seized radioactive tritium in an action the company called "absolutely crazy." The company said Babbitt's order for guardsmen to pack and remove the radioactive substance could endanger Tucson residents. The plant, which used tritium to make luminous watch dials and signs, was shut down in June after $300,000 worth of food intended for school children was found to be exposed to radiation. Babbitt said the company was moving too slowly to decommission the plant, and said he was afraid security problems might pose dangers that could end with the release of radiation. The company has maintained that the levels of radiation involved do not pose any hazard. And Wednesday, Babbitt said American Atomics attorney Harold C. Warnock reiterated "his oft-repeated position that nothing is wrong and that the whole situation is a red herring." The $500,000 worth of tritium, much of it inside glass tubes, will be removed to a location as yet undetermined for burial, processing or release. "Don't worry, it (the site) will be identified when it's picked within 24 to 48 hours," Babbitt said. "There's no special secrecy attached to this operation." The order came as a surprise, since the company agreed July 11 in hearings before the Arizona Atomic Energy Commission to surrender its license to handle tritium and to decommission its plant in 100 days. Babbit said there had been a break-in about a week before his order and that the plant lacked effective security. "The fire protection was jury-rigged and in the event of fire or a breach of security it would have put a community of 500,000 people at risk of exposure to enormous masses of tritium," he said. American Atomic president Peter J. Biehl blamed red tape for the delayed decommissioning. Tom Caffarella, Biehl's assistant, refused to stay at the plant after state officials and Tucson police arrived. He called the order "absolutely crazy" and said he feared someone could push the wrong valve. "You bet I'm going," he said. "I'm leaving because they have people running this thing who don't know what they're doing. It's like a Nazi camp in here.""
Ha, Anne, you are a jewel, and thanks for your kind words. I actually uncovered photos concerning the Biehls from the Tucson Daily Sun from the early 1960's which I did not link to in the article, such as about William Biehl's beautiful home and little Amy celebrating Christmas.
It's occurred to me that "ordinary people" (i.e., without connections to intelligence) don't get this kind of publicity. I think it is a kind of reward for doing official favors.
Vivian Lee says:
A great investigation. A lot has been made of the Biehls' willingness to forgive Amy's "killers." Could this be the original forgiveness template that is now used so extensively in all the staged mass shootings/terrorist events? It surfaced with Columbine and has been a major feature of fake operations ever since. The "Forgiveness Project," founded by Dame Anita Roddick and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, might merit review.

Thanks for the link and compliment, Vivian. I am in full agreement with you.
SVBob says:
I'm very sorry but I simply do not believe that Amy Biehl's death was a hoax, as the article asserts.
The main evidence adduced here consists of Intellius data profiles. These sorts of free computer compilations are notoriously unreliable. They tend to conflate persons with the same or very similar names and mix their data together. Intellius tries to reconstruct a life history for everybody. But what if somebody dies? The computer doesn't know to do – it just provides more data from other sources. For Amy Biehl/Byrd, the computer says she moved back to her apartment in Wash DC after she died, and also maintained her Newport Beach CA address. Does that make any sense? If you faked your death, would you move back to your same addresses? Of course not. Probably what happened is that the computer saw no records from Amy Biehl after 1993 and so added information from her past and another Amy Biehl or Amy E., and may have relied on a Byrd/Biehl connection somewhere else.
The author also mentions a number of details hinting at a CIA connection. But if you look at these details carefully they amount to nothing. The Biehls came from Southern California in the 60's and 70's where almost everybody in the upper middle class had some connection with dirty defense industry money.
The Biehls are/were "do-gooders" (the precursors to modern-day Social Justice Warriors) who actually believed strongly in social causes. Not only Peter, Linda, and Amy, but also another uncle who worked to build a long hiking trail across several states. The family's reaction to Amy's death makes no sense to me (anger or resignation would be the proper feelings) but it looks like they really did believe in the cause and probably thought doing the "right thing" would give meaning to Amy's life. And they were no doubt exploited by the pro-Mandela forces, including the US Government (who may as a small gesture of thanks have released the tax liens on the Biehls.) Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the Biehls have had a decent living from the Amy Fund and working and speaking as professional "voices of reconciliation" since 1993 until now.
If there was a hoax here, it might be that the US Government and pro-Mandela forces planned the death of Amy Biehl in order to blame the radical faction – but that question wasn't raised by the author.
I remember seeing this news about Biehl when it came out in the Stanford Alumni Magazine, and there was some debate on campus afterwards – mostly it was false piety but some (who I agreed with) said that she was poking her nose around where it didn't belong.
Looks like you are a graduate of Stanford!
Amy never lived in Newport Beach, California, nor did her parents. There are no deeds to any property there–only bogus liens and releases–and Amy was in high school in Santa Fe in 1985. She never lived at the address on her passport application, 647 Irvine Ave. So when the computer shows she "moved back to DC while maintaining the California address," well, that is evidence supporting MY thesis: 647 Irvine was "maintained" by someone else in her name. It may be some kind of safe house maintained by the CIA. There were other anomalies in the chain of title I did not go into in my post.
Just wanted to add that even if the Biehl/Byrd connection did not pan out (and I think it does), there is substantial proof that Amy did not die. No death certificate, autopsy report does not bear her name (or match her physical description), no entry in SSDI, no identification of the body, and other details like her standing up after being mortally wounded and stepping over a fence to get into a police van, then to be driven to the police station instead of the hospital. So we could also say: no one to declare her dead.

Cinderella Broom says:
Hearts and hands (as in the Amy Foundation logo) featured prominently in the Sandy Hook hoax as well (Sandy Hook Promise logo). Following that event, there was also a "love & forgiveness" movement touted by major media and seen on the passive, resigned, even cheerful faces of the parents. "We Choose Love," was the slogan. The Unity Project, founded by Newtown's Dr. John Woodall, went into overdrive. "Your tears are proof of your love," he's quoted as saying. Love of what? Not of the truth, that's for certain.
Good points. Can anyone NOT find that creepy? These campaigns seem designed to divert attention from the deficient evidence.
They tell us to "choose love" as a substitute for choosing HONESTY in our public officials and a real investigation as opposed to a cover-up!

E Francis & Sons, Bath Street
Jul 19, 2018 | Places
Until about 1790 Bath Street was the site of an orchard with a few cottages and outbuildings. William Abbotts discovered Leamington's second spring on the land adjoining the former Bath Hotel, where he built the first hot and cold baths, demolished in 1867 by Frederick William Francis in order to extend his store. Mr Francis was born in a village in Hertfordshire in 1815. He trained as a draper, and anticipating the prospects in a flourishing spa town with a constant turnover of seasonal visitors, set up shop in Leamington Priors in 1840. In 1841, he married Emma Eardley, who eventually bore him three daughters and two sons, whilst supporting her husband in business.
Interior, E Francis, Bath Street
The store gradually expanded over the years, taking over properties on either side and setting the standard for quality goods until it closed in 1983. From a simple draper's, "F W Francis" became a substantial department store selling household linen, fabrics, men's, women's and children's clothes, furniture, carpets, and furnishing fabrics. "Department Stores" offering such a wide variety of goods were very much a novelty in the 19th Century, and hardly known outside London and the capital cities of Europe. Mr Francis was in the vanguard of their development in the Midlands. The coming of the railway, transforming access to major towns, greatly aided im and other far-sighted businessmen.
E Francis, Bath Street
The original premises at 34 Bath Street, with a small garden at the rear, also served as the family home, complete with housemaids and a housekeeper. Mrs Francis' sister Sarah Eardley also lived with them. In 1851 Mr Francis employed two milliners, five draper's assistants, and five apprentices. Within twenty years, the store had expanded to over the shop of J Price, Chemist at no 40 Bath Street and employing 52 staff. Gradually over the years, the store acquired shops on either side of the original, the former Abbotts Baths, and even major competitors, Wackrills, at Waterloo House. At various times, Francis' also had premises in Regent Place and Gloucester Street.
Unfortunately, F W Francis died at the age of only 40. His wife Emma simply carried on, announcing in the local press her intention of maintaining the family business. She continued to trade first as E Francis, and later E Francis & Sons, as both sons became partners. (R L and F W Francis jnr.) One daughter, Sarah Ellen had died in childhood; Emma the eldest daughter remained unmarried, and Maria married John Whidborne, a farmer from Devon. Frederick and Robert also married, so that Emma went on to have many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, some of whom went into the family business. Mrs Francis remained at the helm until shortly before her death in 1904 at the age of 85. Her obituary in the local press praised her benevolence and her charitable works, including Bible classes which taught many young women to read, and a reading room set up with a friend in 1864 in the Town Hall for the Clapham Terrace servicemen. Many of the soldiers were illiterate, but this venture enabled them to have letters written for them whilst being taught the 3Rs.
Mrs Francis' death notice was rather surprising: simply a brief insertion in the regular advertisement in the Leamington Courier, which read:
"NOTICE: This establishment will be closed after 12 o'clock on Monday for the remainder of the day, on the occasion of the funeral of Mrs Emma Francis, senior partner of the Firm."
E Francis & Sons Advertisement, 1951
Frederick and the grandsons continued to run the business which became a limited company in 1905. When Frederick died in 1937, he was succeeded as managing director by his son Arnold. The store continued to expand, maintaining its reputation for quality and value, with showrooms backed by extensive workshops for furniture, upholstery, carpets and curtains, and work rooms for dressmaking, and millinery. In 1912, E Francis & Sons took over the adjoining Waterloo Galleries to display fine antiques.
Many of the staff lived on the top floor of the premises, a custom from the early days which continued until about 1950. Accommodation was not luxurious, but Francis' prided themselves on their treatment of their staff and the friendly relationship with their employees. There were restrictions, but they were of their time: few creature comforts and a strict time table (lights out at 11 pm) presided over by a housekeeper, – but employees still maintained that they felt part of the family.
In the early days, the store's opening hours were 8am until 8pm and until 9pm on Saturdays. 12-hour days, six days a week were then the norm. Dressmakers and milliners often worked longer, depending on the season and the number of orders. By the 1920s, closing time was 8pm on weekdays and 7pm on Saturdays. But after WW2, weekday closing was at 6pm, and 12 noon on Saturdays. Until the late 1930s, a uniformed doorman greeted customers, ensuring that they found the correct department for their purchase, summoning an assistant, and escorting them back to the door once the purchase had been made.

By the end of the 1950s, Bath Street and Clemens Street were in decline. New shops, chain stores, were springing up north of the river, and E. Francis & Sons, with its standards and service of a bygone age, could not compete. One by one, departments closed, leaving only the furniture department. The recession of the 1980s proved the final straw, and the buildings and business were put up for sale. It took the best part of 1983 to find a buyer willing to maintain the store as a retail outlet, but within two years, the store was back on the market, and again, a buyer was hard to come by. Eventually, in 1987 Comet (an electrical goods outlet, now also long gone,) bought the site, and set about demolition. All traces of "E Francis & Sons" vanished, but the earlier history of the site came to light, when William Abbott's old spring was uncovered in the foundations of the building. The site is now a wine warehouse, with a car park at the rear.

The Pitsco 36595 Lumberjack Cutter is a precise cutting tool, has metal bars to block access to the blade for safety, and includes a built-in ruler. The cutter trims balsa wood up to 1/8 inch thick and 3/4 inch wide for building model structures such as bridges, houses, and towers. To help ensure accurately measured cuts, the cutter provides a built-in 12-inch ruler and angles marked at 10-degree increments from 0 to 90 degrees on its medium-density fiberboard (MDF) base. The cutter measures 8 x 14 inches, and requires standard single-edge razor blades (cutter is assembled with one blade; replacement blades sold separately). A wood trimmer is typically used in an educational, architectural, or hobby setting to trim strips of wood for building model structures.


Well rested, we headed to the tiny isle of Île Verte, home to 45 people. The island ferry was out for repairs, so we climbed aboard a zodiac for the 15-minute ride to the island.
Life on Île Verte moves at its own pace. There are no schools or big businesses, and very few cars. Our taxi driver, Guy Langelier, drove us about on a stretch golf cart. A rock hunter by trade, he spends his summers ferrying guests around the island.
Guy took us to see several of the island's top destinations. The Circuit Touristique et patrimonial de l'Île Verte package includes access to three attractions – the Musée du squelette, a unique museum filled with 300 animal skeletons, a stop at École Michaud (the island's Old Schoolhouse and now a local museum) and a visit to the island's well-known lighthouse, which is now a B&B called Maisons du Phare de l'Île Verte.
The lighthouse is located on a stunning stretch of beach with unlimited views in both directions, and has nine rooms available in the lightkeeper's house or assistant lightkeeper's house from mid-June to mid-September. Happily, the lighthouse B&B was our to be our home for the night. After checking in, we set out to see a little more of the island.
Just 13 km long, Île Verte is easy to explore. We stopped for a drink at the tiny Cafe D' Alphe, and then visited stained glass artist, France Lalancette, who has her studio at the same location. Guy took us to some of his favorite vistas on the island and we even stopped at Poissonnerie La Bonne Bouffe to taste smoked salmon.
For dinner, we had called ahead to Café de l'Échouerie, a tiny home kitchen run by Michèle Dionne. With advance notice, she will make you a delicious seafood dinner. All we had to do was bring the wine!


Fair warning to all Washington Capitals fans: Don't steal pucks from little kids.
Well, unless you want a Stanley Cup-winning goaltender staring through your soul.
Capitals goalie Braden Holtby tried to toss a puck to a young fan during Monday night's game against the Vancouver Canucks. But unfortunately for the youngster, some guy decided to reach over the top and intercept the puck.
And let's just say Holtby wasn't happy.
It's unclear whether the older fan eventually righted his wrong. The little kid still went home happy, however, as the Caps went on to pick up a 5-2 victory.

This couple braving the stormy winds on a dark night, with just a lantern to show them the light, represent all the couples who vow their lives to each other. The pure love of marital bliss peppered with day to day realities is something which fills me with awe every time I see one. This is how nature intended us to live. Together as man and wife so that we can give our children the security of a home teach our children the meaning of love. But the demons of our selves and modern day aspirations make this simple task so difficult. I wish all could experience and live it.
