Will we ever have reliable nuclear fusion power?
In the era of global climate change, and concerns about humanity's long-term reliance on fossil fuels, many think the solution lies in alternative sources of energy, including nuclear power. All our nuclear power plants are based on fission: splitting heavy atoms into lighter components in a controlled fashion. Though fission is safe when all goes well, the fuel is radioactive, waste disposal can be problematic, and as the Fukushima disaster showed there is a high cost to accidents.
Nuclear fusion is in principle cleaner and comes from a cheaper, more abundant fuel source: an isotope of hydrogen called deuterium can be extracted from water and only helium is produced as waste. From The Matrix to SimCity 2000 to political dreamers, fusion has often been seen as an inevitability for society. However, despite decades of work nuclear fusion remains a dream. As the joke goes fusion is the power of the future – and always will be.
That's not because creating a sustained fusion reaction – in which more energy is produced than is required to start and maintain the process – is impossible or even terribly hard to achieve (at least by high-energy particle physics standards). The most infamous example of a fusion reaction is the hydrogen bomb, which sacrificed control and safety for the sake of violence and death. Fusion reactors obviously need to have more stringent requirements.
To see what's needed to create a sustained reaction, let's look to the best-known fusion reactors of all: stars. In the core of a star like the Sun, strong gravitational pressure forces together hydrogen plasma – an equal mixture of protons and electrons. Extreme conditions of 15 million-degree-temperatures and high pressures mean that protons have enough energy to overcome their mutual repulsion for each other, allowing the attractive forces to kick in. When protons fuse together they are converted into neutrons and release a lot of energy.
Bluntly stated, we can't recreate those conditions, even if we wanted to. Stars have a sufficiently large mass to contain the hydrogen plasma by the force of gravity alone, but we don't have that option, so physicists have to confine plasma using electromagnetism instead. Researchers can also start with deuterium or tritium plasma instead of hydrogen to lower the energy required to start fusion. (Tritium is a hydrogen isotope consisting of a proton and two neutrons; unlike normal hydrogen and deuterium, it's unstable and therefore harder to keep around.) However, the temperature and pressure still needs to be high, so it requires a larger energy input than fusion liberates, which defeats the purpose.
Part of the difficulty lies in the nature of plasma. If you put a normal neutral gas, such as oxygen, in a container you can increase both pressure and temperature by compressing it. Plasma, on the other hand, consists of charged particles at sufficiently high temperatures to melt the container walls. Also, without maintaining conditions carefully, the electrons tend to reunite with protons, creating a neutral hydrogen gas that's useless for fusion; it's imperative that the container trapping the plasma contain no gas, for similar reasons.
Some hope lies in using elements other than hydrogen, as these contain more than one proton per nucleus. That increases the electric repulsion and in some cases can make the energy barrier to fusion even higher. While some fusion reactions involving helium, lithium, or boron are areas of active research, a major problem is that these materials are far rarer on Earth than hydrogen.
All is not lost, however. Researchers are pursuing several possible solutions to the fusion problem, mostly based on clever methods for confining or compressing deuterium. The oldest of these is magnetic confinement, in which strong magnetic fields act as the "walls" of a container.
The best-known incarnation of this is the tokamak, first built in the Soviet Union in the 1950s. In a tokamak, deuterium and tritium are injected into a doughnut, or torus-shaped chamber, and heated to the point at which its electrons break free. Magnetic fields running along the centre contain and squeeze the plasma, and the high temperatures within the plasma then facilitate fusion. However, even the best tokamak designs – including the Joint European Torus (JET) in the United Kingdom and the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) in the United States – haven't broken the barrier of making more energy than is required to keep the plasma hot and trapped. Much hope is being placed on Iter (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), a €15 billion ($22 billion) project designed to build the world's largest tokamak in the south of France. Iter is expected to commence operation at the end of this decade, with the first proper fusion tests scheduled for 2028. But it has been dogged by logistical issues – last month the US Senate spending panel voted to stop contributions to the project.
Many think another method called inertial confinement provides the best hope for a workable fusion reactor. This uses bombardment by high-energy photons – X-rays – to confine and compress a pellet of hydrogen and its isotopes. Successive X-ray pulses emanate from a large number of lasers completely surrounding the pellet, doing the work of heating, ionising, and compressing the hydrogen to the point where it can fuse. The biggest barrier to a working model lies in the X-ray lasers, which require a lot of energy to operate, but researchers at laboratories such as SLAC in the United States and the European X-ray Free Electron Laser are actively working to solve the problem.
The Z Machine at Sandia National Laboratory in the United States is a hybrid between magnetic and inertial confinement. Though the Z Machine itself is not a fusion reactor (and in fact is partly used for developing models for nuclear weapons), the powerful magnetic fields and X-rays it produces are part of a project in which a pellet of hydrogen is repeatedly bombarded with intense pulses of light to compress it.
There are other methods for confinement and compression, and more will no doubt be developed. Another path is aimed at lowering the energy barrier to deuterium fusion: forming molecules using muons instead of electrons. Muons are the heavier, unstable cousins of electrons. (We all have family members like that, I think.) Their presence in a molecule of two deuterium atoms brings the nuclei much closer together, consequently making fusion much more likely. However, once the energy cost of making muons and creating molecules using them is added in, muon-catalysed fusion no longer becomes cost-effective.
So the question is will we find a way around any of these problems? As with many things, it depends on human scientific ingenuity, and the practical limits placed upon it. Fusion research is relatively expensive, so investing in it is an exercise in hope. More precisely it is hope that once a sustainable fusion reactor is invented, it will repay the investment many times over.

Fate of Missouri's only abortion clinic at stake as St. Louis judge holds hearing
By Reuters - 04 June 2019 - 13:43

The fate of Missouri's only abortion clinic will be at stake on Tuesday when a St. Louis judge hears arguments in Planned Parenthood's lawsuit aimed at forcing state health officials to renew the facility's license to perform the procedure.
Planned Parenthood sued Missouri last week after state health officials refused to renew the license of Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood in St. Louis because, they said, they were unable to interview seven of its physicians over "potential deficient practices," according to court documents.
Abortion is one of the most socially divisive issues in U.S. politics, with opponents often citing religious beliefs to call it immoral. Abortion-rights advocates say the bans amount to state control of women's bodies.
St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer intervened on Friday before the clinic's license to perform abortions was set to expire at midnight.
He issued a temporary restraining order against the state at the request of Planned Parenthood, allowing the clinic to continue offering the procedure.
Missouri's only abortion clinic faces closure at midnight
Stelzer will hold a hearing on Tuesday morning on motions filed by Planned Parenthood in its request for a preliminary injunction that would keep the clinic open longer. He could schedule more hearings or rule on the request.
If the facility's license is not renewed, Missouri would become the only U.S. state without an abortion clinic since the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 that established a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy.
The legal battle in St. Louis began after Missouri Governor Mike Parson, a Republican, signed a bill on May 24 banning abortion beginning in the eighth week of pregnancy, making Missouri one of nine U.S. states to pass anti-abortion legislation this year.
Anti-abortion activists say they aim to prompt the newly installed conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade by enacting laws such as the one recently passed in Missouri that are virtually assured of facing court challenges.

The trails at Hyak Sno-Park are a great option for beginners and old pros alike. With a flat track and a hefty grooming schedule, it's easy to find your rhythm out on the snow. Add to this the Hyak Sno-Park Sledding Hill and the heated bathrooms, and you have an area with broad appeal.
Following the trail leaving from Hyak will lead you to Crystal Springs, another great Washington cross-country skiing destination, in 7.6 miles. The track follows the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, which is a year-round trail built on top of an old Chicago-Milwaukee-St. Paul-Pacific railroad line known as the Milwaukee Road. This means the grade remains relatively flat; it also means that the route parallels I-90, but the traffic is barely audible as it flows by Keechelus Lake. The entire route is filled with stunning mountain views. From the peaks visible just down the track to those that are perfectly framed across the lake, the scenery makes Hyak a great place to bring your camera.
As with other area trails, you'll need a sno-park permit and a special groomed trail permit to enjoy the trails at Hyak.
Flat. Well groomed. Very scenic. Easily accessible.

;Labor market institutions (LMI hereafter) mainly refers to policies such as unemployment insurance, employment protection legislation, union density, taxwedge (gap between nominal and take-home payment), active labor market program and wage bargaining coordination. Theoretically, labor market rigidity is an intervention that puts pressures on the labor market. For instance, stricter LMI exert upward pressure on wages in spite of excess labor supply in the labor market, and slow down unemployed job-matching, which hinders the adjustment of labor demand and supply towards the equilibrium. Furthermore, inadequate LMI pushing up labor costs could even burden the finances of a country, cripples the inflows and outflows of the labor market, further deteriorates unemployment problems, and slows productivity , ultimately hence deminishing, the output and economic growth.
Labor market institutions turn to labor market rigidity by the following channels. A Generous unemployment benefits discourages job search and extends the duration of unemployed while strict employment protection legislation raises the hiring and firing costs that undermines employers' incentive to create new jobs. Moreover, higher union power may give workers more bargaining power over wage determination, however, if the wage is not able to match productivity, firms would determine employment in accordance with their profits. Taxwedge is the gap between take-home pay and nominal wage. Thus, the larger the gap is, the lower the workers' incentive to participate in the job market.
Chapter 3 revisits the connection between LMI and the unemployment rate in Europe. This paper examines the dynamic relationship between labor market rigidities and the unemployment problem in Europe between 1985 and 2007, and also explores the specific labor market institutions that might deteriorate unemployment problem. We employed country-level panel data, and applied the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model as our methodology which has the advantage of investigating the causal relationships among variables. The empirical results provide evidence of a causal relationship between labor market rigidities and the unemployment rate in European countries. The essential element determining whether a country has been successful or has failed in resolving the unemployment problem in the 1990s is the existence of causality between labor market rigidity and the unemployment rate. What contributes to the existence of the causal relationship is the design of the labor market reforms, particularly the design of active labor market program.
With the increments of labor market institutions, the potential problem caused by labor market rigidity is emerging within the four Asian tigers, namely, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. Chapter 4 emphasizes the impact of labor market rigidity on economic performance in the four Asian tigers over the 1980-2010 period. Through the estimation of the aggregate production function, we find that labor market rigidity has a negative impact on output and economic growth. On the other hand, without imposing any labor market institutional adjustment that would lower the standard of labor conditions, the rises in country's competitiveness can serve as a balancing force to mitigate the negative impacts of labor market rigidity. A crucial insight for policymakers is to determine the most efficient method for giving labor effective protection without hurting economic performance.
Chapter 5 investigates the impact of LMI on labor demand elasticity in Taiwan, where the non-wage cost (NWC) has presented a persistent upward trend. This study proposes a two-step estimation. In the first step we consider the NWC effect on wage determination and predict the wage rate. In the second step labor demand elasticity is estimated with the predicted wage rate included as one regressor. Empirically, this study found that the labor demand elasticity would be over-estimated if non-wage cost and its endogeneity were excluded from the estimation. Second, the non-wage wage cost tradeoffs indicates that the increase in the NWC would slow down the wage growth. Third, a crucial finding is that the labor demand elasticity is much higher in Taiwan than indicated in past studies when testing over a longer timeframe and for firms with higher foreign exposure. As such, the adverse effects of higher wage elasticity, the erosion of workers' bargaining power over output share, and the NWC burden sharing would damage the Taiwan labor market. Given the higher labor-demand elasticity and the growing NWC, this paper explores the reasons why the economy developed while wages stagnated and the unemployment rate deteriorated over the past two decades in Taiwan.

Cardinals Fly South ……..Again!
The Cochranton Band will be winging south for a visit to Disney's Magic Kingdom on January 16th. They will be visiting the iconic vacation spot for the fourth time in school history.
Taking time off after completing another championship season last fall, Director Carl Miller has reassembled his band to prepare for their participation in the Main Street parade, scheduled for the 18th. The snowy weather has forced the marching practice session into the CHS gymnasium. The hours of making tight circles on the hardwood, while repeatedly rehearsing a few selections will be rewarded with time to enjoy the Florida weather and a visit with Mickey Mouse.
The band first became the community's ambassador back in 1974, it was another generation of bandsmen that traveled to south forty five years ago this April.
Under the direction of James Reid, the legendary musician that established the Cochranton Band tradition, planning began in 1972. The Band, well known in the tri county parade circuit for their precision marching skills and musical talents, were ready to meet the new demands created by their mentor. The real challenge was how much would this cost and how and where would the funds come from.
Step one was to contact The McMullen Travel Agency in Grove City, PA. Their tour representative Dennis Burnham made his first trip to Cochranton to meet with the Reid and the Cardinal Music Boosters Association, beginning a lifetime association with the band. After deciding to proceed, the target was set for a six day tour of Florida/ Nassau, including a visit to Disney's Magic Kingdom, on April 26 - 30, 1974. With plans set, the budget called for nearly $26,000.00 to make the dream a reality.
Step two, raise the needed funds. One of the main fund raisers of the music program were monthly donut sales to the community. The Boosters and students would assemble early Saturday mornings at the old cafeteria building ( the former Cochranton Library building) to bake, ice, frost, glaze, sugar and package the donuts and then deliver them to those that had preordered. There were few community functions that the portable band booth did not make an appearance. Thousand upon thousands of dozens of donuts formed the foundation of the band travel account. Special concerts, sales of numerous items, bake sales also added to the treasury.
With all the planning completed, room mates chosen, uniforms, instruments, luggage and bathing suits packed the group of 74 bandsmen and 19 parents departed on April 25th. They would spend two days in Nassau performing a concert at the hotel and performing at a baseball game on the island. They would then return to Orlando and their participation in the Main Street Parade and a special concert in front of Cinderella's Castle.
Following their return home, several "Thank You" concerts were held for the community and the memories of the trip were shared with those that had help make this once in a lifetime experience come true.
As the current musicians leave for their "once in a lifetime experience", the past bandsmen raise a "donut" in salute and remind them that to tell Mickey Mouse we're still thinking about him.
Note: One of the girls (still a girl, even at 58) who went on the trip was in the Jazz Band, who performed in Nassau said it was hard to believe that 45 years had gone by. See if you recognize anyone in the photo.
Cochranton Borough will be sponsoring, along with C.A.R.E., a Christmas lighting contest for Borough residents. Start thinking about how you can decorate your house. We are hoping for your participation.
Prizes will be awarded for Community Choice, Most Creative, and Best Holiday Theme. Prizes will be awarded on Saturday, December 8th at the Library's Open House. More info will be available when plans are finalized.
The Grange is a family organization dedicated to the betterment of the American way of life through community service, legislation and fellowship. The Grange has been a big part of the Cochranton Community for many years.
The Grange movement began during the early 1870's. Following the Civil War, the western states began filling with farms and leading to the expansion of the railroads. This led to the large railroads obtaining vast tracks of land, driving up the costs of acreage needed by the farmers. The railroads conspired to raise the charges of freight service charged to farmers to transport products to market and cartels also controlled the coal industry. To fight these injustices the farming community needed a united front to lobby the government and stand up for their concerns. The formation of granges would serve this purpose.
Granges were formed to serve social, economic and political aims. They brought those interested in agricultural issues together with their business meetings and dinners giving new social opportunities in the community. By joining together, they were able to share and learn new methods to increase their profits. They were able to establish stores and institutions that traded with members at discount rates and were able to advance their agenda in the political arena.
There were many granges in the area, each little crossroads community had separate organizations along with many of the townships. The borough of Cochranton's first grange was called the Saunders Grange, No. 371. It was organized in October of 1874 with thirty-two charter members under the first Master, William Dean. By 1880, they had organized a cooperative store and bank. These were located on the present site of the Cochranton Borough office on Adams Street.
That store and bank would close in 1899, a second cooperative association would be organized, and they opened a store on West Pine Street in 1922. The store would enjoy a steady growth supporting the strong agricultural businesses in the area. Facing a decline in the number of family farms in the area, the store was forced to close in 2013.
Charles W. York, the vocational education teacher at Cochranton High School, organized a new local grange. Cochranton Grange No. 2030 was chartered on May 2, 1944 with 29 members. Early projects included participation in the Cochranton Community Fair, securing hospitalization coverage for their members and participation at the Crawford County Fair.
With an increasing membership, land was purchased on North Franklin Street and a groundbreaking held in May 1958. Construction of a two-level cement block facility began during the summer of 1959. The building is situated across the street from the Dunn Building. (Picture of building at right). The main level featured a hardwood floor with an elevated stage on the north wall. The basement level had a kitchen and dining space with parking available on both the front and back elevation. A dedication of the new hall was held on June 18, 1960.
The building served not only as a meeting place for the grange, but also as a community activity center. Square dances, bingo games and community dinners, as well as wedding receptions were held there. The facility was available for rental. A mortgage burning event celebrated the building loan payoff in 1973.
If you wanted to have excellent food prepared by some of the best cooks in the area, you attended the fund-raising dinners at the grange. The square dances provided Saturday night entertainment for many folks.
Our grange still participates at the Crawford County fair. The grange displays are always interesting and represent family life in the community. If you are interested in a good cookbook, you can purchase a Grange Cookbook at the Crawford County Fair. Cookbooks from several different years are available. Our local ladies have submitted recipes to several of the books. The books are filled with delicious recipes and many household tips. A favorite recipe is Apple Bread submitted by Ginnie Clevenger, Cochranton Grange No. 2030. The recipe appears in the Crawford County Pomona Grange cookbook titled "A Second Helping".
Apple Bread
¼ lb. oleo (butter) ½ Tsp. salt
1 cup sugar 2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbl. Sour milk 2 cups apples, coarsely chopped
Cream oleo and sugar together. Dissolve soda in milk and add to eggs and add the creamed mixture, mix lightly. Mix salt, flour and vanilla together and add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the apples to the mix. Pour batter into 2 greased pans (Bread Pans) Mix together the crumb topping and sprinkle over the batter in pans and bake at 325 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes.
1 tsp. cinnamon 2 Tbl. Flour
2 Tbl. Sugar 3 Tbl. cold butter or oleo
Our grange is still meeting although we do not have very many active members. A big thank you to the grange for being a part of the Cochranton Community.
Sitting along the creek (crick) bank and watching the water and fall leaves leisurely flow past on their way to Franklin brings back many childhood memories. French Creek has been part of our lives forever. Wading, fishing, swimming and boating were all part of the experience when growing up along the creek.
We were always told to be careful and stay out of the creek. Holes in the creek bed were a big concern of the parents. But, wading isn't the same as swimming, is it. There was much aquatic life to learn about. The riffles brought tadpoles and crayfish that you could take home. Turtles frequented the banks and we never thought about them having e coli or other diseases. There is nothing cuter than a little turtle.
Of course, as sometimes happens with Mother Nature there are some not so nice things that inhabit the creek such as Water Moccasins and weasels slinking along the bank but we were creek savvy enough to leave such things alone.
Sitting, or laying on a rock if the rock was big enough, was a wonderful way to pass a summer day while reading a favorite book.
The ice often was the cause of the spring floods, as the spring rains were held back and forcing the flood waters into the community. Over the years, the floods were epic events in the community. Following construction of the Junior Senior High School in 1955, the school was often surrounded and the students were granted a few days of vacation. Floods in the late 1950's and early 60's, saw the community turn out for sand bagging and pumping details. Businesses along the creek and the community fairgrounds were also victims.
We loved watching things float down the creek during the spring floods. Chicken coops, logs and boats are a few of the items. The Army Corp of Engineers had to blast the ice jam in the creek near Holobar's Beach one year. The blasting also removed windows from various homes located along the creek and moved foundations in a couple of barns. Adding Woodcock Creek Dam and other flood control measures have lessened the threat of floods and ice jams.
Unless you live along the banks of French Creek you don't realize how the creek changes from year to year. A wet spring can change the creek's course in the matter of a bad rain storm. Your nice flat reading rock now rests downstream. The island in the creek, by the new bridge, that now has trees growing on it, was not that big when we were kids. Current change and silt deposits have made the island larger and larger.
Below the new bridge has changed as well. Deposits of rocks have made the creek bed walkable (especially this summer). Watching the herons hunt for their dinner in the shallows near the bridge is a favorite pastime. You can learn so much along the banks of our wonderful creek.
Along with the new bridge across our creek came a new and improved kayak launch. Picnic tables have been provided for a peaceful place for lunch. The parking area has also been improved. The summer months saw increased use of the facility, with another generation finding enjoyment in one of the community's oldest assets.
French Creek's presence along the western edge of the borough has long influenced the lives of the community. Before there was a Cochranton and a United States, a twenty-one-year-old Virginian named George Washington happened by and his visit would set into motion the French and Indian War. The conflict would set in motion forces that would lead to the American Revolution and the founding of the United States. The creek would act as the highway to the region and soon John Adams and Thomas Cochran would claim land grants that would result in the founding of the Borough of Cochranton in 1855.
An iconic covered bridge would span the creek in 1843, only to be destroyed by power of the raging waters in 1868. As the bridge was being built, the community instituted a ferry system, which caused some anxious moments for church goers as the rope broke sending them on a harrowing voyage downstream.
Always a popular recreational draw, each generation took rod and reel to the creek's edge for a day of fishing. By the turn of the 20th century, an afternoon boat ride on a Sunday was a special event. Such a trip turned fatal in 1892, as several adults and a young girl named Nellie Naramore, lost their lives. The tragedy became part of a macabre poem that would detail the accident. Other loss of life would lead to each generation warning against swimming in the rushing waters of the stream.
Each winter, as the ice formed, the ice was harvested from the creek and stored in ice house in the community to provide the early form of refrigeration late into the summer.
Starting as early as the 1930, cottages began dotting the upstream area of the west bank. The settlement known as "Holobar's Beach" began attracting Pittsburgh residents. The simple cottages were used for weekend escapes from the "Big City". Going to the "country" to enjoy life along the creek, led to many retiring and becoming year-round residents.
The community incorporated the creek into many of its celebrations. In the early 1960's a Regatta Day Celebration saw boat races and fishing contests as part of a weekend event sponsored by the local merchants organizations. A canoe race from Shaw's Landing to the Cochranton Bridge was a part of the annual July 4th Celebrations in the 1970's and 80's. Cochranton has many "treasures" but none is bigger, or more important to Cochranton's history than French Creek.
Community projects, the big ones, usually begin with a group of concerned residents casually talking about what their town needs to make it a better place. Conversation then leads to "let's have a meeting" and so the work begins.
C.A.R.E. (Cochranton Area Redevelopment Effort) began about six years ago as a group of citizens who wanted to make Cochranton better. If you have ever donated your time to a large project, you know how much planning goes into bringing projects to fruition. Rules, new regulations and vast amounts of paperwork make volunteering on these projects a frustrating job. But nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished without hard work.
C.A.R.E. conducted a survey among our local community members to find out what they felt were some of the needs of the borough and how we could work together to accomplish them. One of the first suggestions was to provide affordable housing for the senior members of the community and to have a pharmacy back in town. Well, the pharmacy has been completed and the affordable housing unit is well on its way.
Other suggestions were: cleaning up main street and putting new signs at the entrances to the borough. Memorial trees have been planted on Adams Street, benches have been placed along the street and the new signs have been erected.
C.A.R.E. has also been involved in the new kayak and canoe launch at the new bridge which was completed this spring. They also have been the main sponsors of the French and Indian War Encampment held at the Fairgrounds for the past several years.
C.A.R.E. members are helping the Cochranton Lion's Club with repair of the outdated playground equipment at Lion's Park. A new "Lunar Net" has been installed and excavation has been completed for placement of new slides. Child safe rubber mulch will be installed as needed.
There are always those who say, "nothing ever gets done around here". Well, take a minute to look around. Sometimes you don't notice the small day to day changes, but small things lead to big things. A special thanks to the C.A.R.E. committee for caring.
If you are interested in helping C.A.R.E. give Susan a call at the borough office (814-425-3365).
July 2017 - Downstream Ramblings
Community is defined as a feeling of fellowship with others who share common goals, attitudes and interests. Sometimes it doesn't feel like your neighbor has the same goals as you. You like to keep your yard and home well maintained, them, not so much. Your dog is well mannered and respectful, theirs not so much. They are a little bit too interested in your activities. But when it comes down to it, we all have the same common goals. We want to raise our families and live in a safe and caring environment.
We have so many things to be thankful for. A wonderful school at both the elementary and high school level. Winning sports teams and a fantastic musical program are offered. Both schools are located within the borough so that walking to and from school is possible.
Speaking of walking, the borough offers the Greenways Trail. Two laps around the trail is ½ mile. All the trail is within borough limits.
Cochranton Public Library is very proud of its new building. Our facility was built entirely with community money. The library offers lots of family friendly activities from the Tadpole program for our preschoolers to the Croakers reading group for the over 60 crowd. The library also has a community room which it offers to local groups for meetings. Call the library at 425-3996. From the library, you can walk to the Motzing Center.
The Motzing Center is a gem. Again, a community effort. Named for a local couple, Jack and Grace Motzing, who dedicated their life to community service. You can view family movies, sit in the lounge (which has a fireplace) sip a coffee, or have some ice cream or yummy popcorn all at family friendly prices.
Meadville Credit Union, doctor offices and Cochranton Community Pharmacy are now open and located within the borough. All are in the old Dunn Building which was remodeled by Economic Progress Alliance and is a wonderful addition to our community.
We are taught that life is a cycle. As much as your heart aches for those community members who have passed away, it is so much fun to welcome the next generation and watch them become part of our hometown.
If you would like to become involved in any of our community events, or have any questions, give Susan a call at the Borough office 814-425-3365.
Reminder notes: July 22nd and 23rd marks the third year for the French Creek Heritage event in Cochranton. This year's theme is "Clashing Nations Mired in World War".

Vision 2017: Cochranton Borough
Working to build on the momentum established in 2016, the Borough of Cochranton looks forward to continuing the revitalization of the community.
Able to maintain current services, without an increase in taxes, the Borough will be focused on several projects, including resurfacing several streets and repairs to the community reservoir. The streets will be evaluated, following the winter, and budgeted funds will determine the scope of the project. Also expected to be on the "to-do" list will be repairs to the liner of the reservoir and upgrades to piping and connections at the well houses.
An old friend returned to Adams Street this fall. Back in business is the Iris Theatre, now part of the Motzing Center. The attraction, a project of the Cochranton Community Church, was one of several new businesses that moved into renovated storefronts. Several other new businesses are expected to open in 2017.
The Economic Progress Alliance had completed renovations to the former, W.L. Dunn property. Dr. Jack Peterson's office is now open with the credit union and pharmacy to soon follow. The building has space remaining for future tenants.
Teaming with local community groups, improvements are expected at the French Creek Access, the Greenway Trails and funds are being raised to upgrade and replace playground equipment at the Lions Club Community Park. Grants have been secured that will be used to update and improve lighting on the pedestrian bridge at the fairgrounds property.
Looking to be proactive, the borough will continue to study and address issues with the storm water drainage infrastructure. Recent surveys have mapped the location and conditions of the underground system.
Efforts will continue to eliminate blighted and unsafe structures. This has led to many upgrades to commercial and residential structures. These enhancements, while adding value to the property, help to establish the character of the "most important borough" in southern Crawford County.
For 36 years (1962 – 1999), each January, the answer was Cochranton. Under the guidance of the Cochranton Ministerial Association, the community produced canned beef and broth for an orphanage in Korea.
After adopting two Korean children, in 1962, the Paul Eichorn family became aware of the fact that these unwanted Korean orphans had very little meat to eat. These children came from the Holt Adoption Program in Seoul, Korea. The orphanage had been founded by Harry Holt in 1955. Holt believed that America had a responsibility to these children of G.I.'s. and Korean girls. His mission was to care for the over 200 severely handicapped or mentally retarded orphaned children, following the Korean Conflict.
For several years the Eichorn's sought donations of beef and had it canned in a garage in the Adamsville area and then arranged shipment to Korea. Later, as the operation grew it was moved to the James Dean farm in Carlton.
When the Eichorn family moved to Paraguay, the project was taken over by the Cochranton Ministerial and the operation moved to the Cochranton Fire Hall in 1976. The day long project utilized the mobile canning equipment of the Mennonite Central Committee.
Volunteers, often over 100, would spend the day cutting, grinding, cooking and processing the beef. The canned beef and broth would then be label and boxed for shipment. Before the actual canning work, fundraising efforts would be conducted to raise funds to purchase the beef and necessary supplies.
Records, from the first few years, were not kept, but from 1976 – 1999, a 24 year total, the project accounted for over 63 tons of beef being converted into 71,945 (28 oz.) cans of beef and 15,500 cans of broth (7,750 gallons). In monetary terms the community raised $173,171.74 during the period, not counting the many hours of the hundreds of area volunteers.
Both the Pennsylvania Senate (1986) and House of Representatives (1987) issued citations of commendation to the committee for their humanitarian efforts.
In 1992, Holt's wife Bertha, made the long trip to Cochranton. Known as "Grandma Holt", she had an opportunity to reconnect with several former children of the orphanage while thanking the many volunteers for their dedication to the project. The 80 year old joined the effort and spent the day grinding beef with her Cochranton benefactors.
Following the 1999 project, the Ministerial announced that the project would be discontinued since the Mennonite Central Committee could no longer commit their canning units for single day projects.
2016 drawing to a close
2016 is drawing to a close and as always the end of the year is a time to reflect. 2016 brought a lot of good things to Cochranton.
One of the shining examples of community effort and dedication is the opening of the Motzing Center and Iris Theater. The inside is beautiful. Sitting at one of the tables in the lounge and sipping a peppermint hot chocolate was a pleasure. A family of four can enjoy the movie and popcorn for under $25.00 with a state-of-the-art screen and sound system. Movie times are Friday nights 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm and Saturday's at 3:00 pm, 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm. (These are subject to change). Thank you to Cochranton Community Church for making this possible.
The Dunn Building is open. Dr. Peterson has moved in and the pharmacy and credit union should be opening soon. This building, too, is a jewel. The large front room is a community room. Stop in and look around. Again, this shows what community effort and imagination can do. An open house for the community is scheduled to be held sometime in late January.
There are still projects in the works. So much time and effort goes into making something happen that many think nothing is being done. Please be patient, things are still to come.
Projects for 2017 that we know are on schedule are the Memorial Tree planting on Adams Street and new playground equipment for Lion's Park.
CARE will again be sponsoring an event at the Fairgrounds in late July. The focus will be on the beginning of the French and Indian War. More info to follow as it becomes available. Care will also be working to enhance the French Creek access area at the new bridge. New picnic tables are one of the things that have been discussed for this area.
Cochranton Area Public Library will be offering different classes and activities throughout the year. Something new this year is a drama class. Also, the Library offers use of its community room for meetings. For dates and times of events, call the Library at 814-425-3996. The Library wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cochranton Borough was host to the Borough Association's November meeting. A wonderful meal was served by Smoky Martin's BBQ with members of the National Honor Society being servers. CHS was the venue for the meeting. Those attending were impressed with our school and the meal. Girardat Transportation was gracious enough to take those attending on a bus tour of the borough with stops at our beautiful library, the Motzing Center and the Dunn Building. It was nice to showcase our best. Thanks to all involved.
We would like to thank everyone in the community who has contributed time and effort into making this community into something special. There is much still to be done. If you are interested in getting involved, please call Susan at the Cochranton Borough office (425-3365).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

A "thumbs up" to Dr. Donch (our optometrist) and Dan Mackel (our new gun shop and embroidery shop) for the new store fronts that are now part of our main street. Sometimes we forget the time and commitment it takes to own a business. A big thank you to all our business owners. We appreciate all you do.
CARE needs just a few more contributions to be able to start planting the memorial trees. Trees will certainly change the look of Adams Street. Notice the trees in the picture of the intersection of Adams Street and Franklin Street as it appeared in days past. Notice the picture has the "Lakes-to-Sea Highway" caption. The Lakes-to-Sea Highway, also known as the "Ship-to-Shore" highway, was an auto trail in the Northeast U.S., running from Erie, Pennsylvania (on Lake Erie) southeast via Harrisburg and Philadelphia to Atlantic City, New Jersey (on the Atlantic Ocean – the "sea").

September 11 ~ September 2016 Tribune Article
September 11, 2016 has come and gone. September 11, 2001 is one that many will remember for a long, long time. Most people remember exactly what they were doing that day when they first heard the news that the World Trade Center was hit. Outside was earie….Since no planes were flying it was strangely quiet. The sky was the bright blue of a warm September day, a beautiful setting for such a tragedy. Many people stayed home from work, not knowing what may come next. School was let out. People were afraid. Yes, we will remember September 11, 2001 and all those brave souls we lost that day for many, many years to come.
We thank the American Legion for their display of flags on 9-11 and the care they give them throughout the year. The Legion also does proper flag disposal. Contact one of the Legion members or drop off your used flag at the borough office.
Adams Street continues to revitalize itself, with work progressing on the Motzing Center (the lighting looks great). Local optometrist, Dr. Diane Donch, has refaced the exterior of her office. Several other stores are in the process of remodeling and several new businesses may be opening in the near future.
Help us finish the tree project
The Cochranton Area Redevelopment effort (CARE) wishes to extend a sincere thank you to the Crawford Heritage Community Foundation that has approved a grant for $750 for trees for Cochranton's Adams Street. Additionally, we are very grateful for the $300 in donations for memorial designations we have received from area citizens. It's nearly time to plant the trees and we are still short of what's needed to complete the project. Please consider honoring someone or just helping to beautify our main street by sending $25 or more to CARE at Box 522 Cochranton, PA 16314.
Wednesday, September 21st was the beginning of the Community Potluck Dinners for 2016-2017. The dinners will, once again be held at the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Smith and Pine streets in Cochranton. Everyone is welcome to attend the dinners. Serving begins at 6:00 pm. Bring something to share and your own place setting. Come, have a good meal, and enjoy conversation with friends and neighbors. There is no charge. The next dinner will be October 19th.
Way to go Cochranton Football Team!! 4 and 0 Homecoming is this weekend. Attention Cochranton Alumni, you might have noticed a little more red and white decorating the local homes and businesses.

The sports schedule for fall 2016 is now on the new borough website. Check it out. www.cochrantonborough.org
Congratulations to the Cochranton Fire Department. One of the perks of being Mayor was getting a ride in the new engine recently put into service. After nearly two years of planning and numerous trips to the factory, the department has created an asset that will insure the safety of the community for decades to come. Lots of study and thought went into the planning and the innovations will provide for efficient operations at emergency situations. With Fire Prevention Week coming in October, take time to visit the station and inspect the new engine. Remember, the department is always seeking new members.
Cochranton Borough recently lost a long time councilman, Jerry Dunn. Our thoughts and prayers to the Dunn family.

Q: compiling grpc c++ app get undefined reference to `event_store::Event::Event(google::protobuf::Arena*)' Extremely new to C++, I am trying to compile a simple grpc app, have been trying few other ways to compile it but without success, including invoking g++ directly like below:
g++ main.cpp -std=c++17 -I./proto -l:uSockets.a -I/usr/local/include/uWebsockets -lz -lpthread -lgrpc -lprotobuf

I ran out of idea of how compile this, so any help will be much appreciated
here's my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)

project(promotion)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

add_executable(promotion main.cpp)
target_include_directories(promotion PUBLIC proto)
target_link_libraries(promotion z pthread :uSockets.a grpc protobuf)

when running the generated makefile from cmake, i get the errors like below:

I do have the libprotobuf.a in my /usr/local/lib

A: I apologise for this type of question, it was made out of desperation. It is very hard to get help without full context and often with full context, it requires one to put aside a significant time to debug and provide help.
Anyway, I got it to compile finally by observing the output of the makefile included in the grpc c++ hello world on github.
Instead of compiling it like the code I provided, the different codes have to be compiled individually before linked together, as below:
# compile the protobuf message
g++ -std=c++17 `pkg-config --cflags protobuf grpc` -I./proto  -c -o event_store.pb.o proto/event_store/event_store.pb.cc

# compile the grpc service
g++ -std=c++17 `pkg-config --cflags protobuf grpc` -I./proto  -c -o event_store.grpc.pb.o proto/event_store/event_store.grpc.pb.cc

# compile your own application
g++ -std=c++17 `pkg-config --cflags protobuf grpc` -I./proto  -c -o main.o main.cpp

# link the compiled protobuf message, grpc service and your own application
g++ -std=c++17 event_store.grpc.pb.o event_store.pb.o main.o -l:uSockets.a -lz -I/usr/local/include/uWebSockets -L/usr/local/lib `pkg-config --libs protobuf grpc++` -pthread -Wl,--no-as-needed -lgrpc++_reflection -Wl,--as-needed -ldl -o promotion

Note: in my case, I have the proto code generated separately and put in the ./proto folder hence -I./proto
and then profit:
./promotion

edit: I have managed to complete the app to a certain extent, and here's the repo to the full code for anyone who is interested

Board Game Review: On Tour
Sometimes you find a game that surprises you with its depth. What appears to be a simple fluffy game with no appeal turns out to contain some hefty decisions and require intense thought. On Tour, by Chad DeShon and published by Board Game Tables Dot Com, was one of those games. When I first saw it, I was unimpressed with the theme, and didn't think much of it. But when I actually sat down to play it, I was shocked at how much fun it is.
Sure, it's not going to be a serious game for a heavy Friday night game session with the hardcore gamers. But as a party game, or a light filler, it is unexpectedly satisfying! I might not have ordered a copy for myself, but I received a voucher for a discount, and felt it was worth having at that price.
So let's take a look at this game, starting with the numbers:
Humour: None
Average Length of Game Play: 45 minutes
Gamer Profile Ratings:
Strategy: Medium
Conflict: Low
Social Manipulation: Low
Fantasy: Low
An Overview of On Tour
Each player is the manager of a band booking locations for their concert tour. You want to maximise the number of cities you visit on the tour. Each player has a map of the continental USA. There's a spot to write your fictional band's name, and the map is divided into three vertical regions (East, Central, and West) and two horizontal regions (North and South).
On a your turn, you roll the included 2d10. This provides you with two numbers, reading the dice as d% in both directions. Thus, for example, if you roll a 2 and an 8, then your numbers are 28 and 82. Also, you draw and lay out three cards. Each card lists a state (a few of the smaller states are combined; for example instead of Maine or Vermont, all of those states are combined into 'New England,' likewise, New Jersey and Delaware are part of 'Mid Coastal'), and one of the regions in which that state is located (since all states are in one of the game's vertical regions as well as one of the horizontal regions. Thus, Florida is located both in the South region and the East region). Each card only lists one of the two regions.
Then, all players write these two numbers on their maps. Each number goes into a state that does not yet have a number written in it. The number must go in a state in one of the regions listed on the three available cards. You cannot use a card twice. So if there was a card for North and two cards for South, you could put one of the numbers in a state in the North region, but the other number must go in the South, as there's only one card available for the North region and cannot be used for both of your numbers.
If you put your number in the actual state that is listed on the card, you circle the number, indicating that it will be worth bonus points at the end of the game. In other words, if you have a card for Minnesota labelled as North, you can use that card to put a number in any state in the North region, but if you use that card to put a number in Minnesota specifically, the number is circled and worth a bonus point.
All players use the same three cards, but are putting their numbers on their own map, so that each player's map will be numbered differently by the end of the game. Then the next player rolls the dice and draws three new cards, and all players put these two new numbers on their maps as allowed by the new cards.
Rolling doubles gives you a wild; you may place a star according to the normal placement rules, which counts as any number. If you have no legal place to place a number, you must cross out one of your remaining states.
The game ends when all states have numbers. Players then connect states to form the longest route possible. When drawing a line from one state to another, you must always move to a larger number. This means that you start at the lowest number you can and travel to the highest number possible. See the following photograph for an example:
In this map, the player started at the wild card star in New York, then moved to the 10 in Mid Coastal, then the 18 in Pennsylvania, the 34 in West Virginia, and so on, zigzagging across the nation until arriving at the 97 in California.
Players get one point for each state visited on the tour (in this example, 24), plus a bonus point for each circled number on the route (in this case, 8). The player with the highest score is declared the winner.
Final Thoughts on On Tour
Like I said, I was surprised at the depth of this game. It starts off pretty easy, picking semi-random places to put numbers (of course, starting off with the idea that higher numbers should go on one coast, lower numbers on the other coast, and mid-level numbers in the middle). But once the map starts to fill up, it gets harder and harder to decide where to put the numbers that have been rolled within the limits placed upon you by the available cards.
But that's the fun of the game! Making those decisions, lamenting your earlier decisions, trying to work out where to place your current numbers so as to not completely hose yourself... and then working out the best route at the end of the game once all your numbers have been placed.
What about the six characteristics of a good game? Let's see...
It's fun to lose.
It's relatively simple.
It ends decisively.
It has no player elimination.
It relies on player agency.
❌ It doesn't really allow for upsets.
Five out of six is not bad. And I wouldn't worry about the 'it allows for upsets' part too much, because that's only a result of not knowing how many points anyone has until the very end. You can sort of get a feel for where a player's route is going to be, but until you roll the dice, you won't know for sure if you get the numbers you need to be successful. So I wouldn't count that one against this game as much as I would in other cases.
As I mentioned before, I was surprised at how much fun I had playing this game. At least enough to buy it at a discounted price!
The base game comes with four boards, but you can buy up to eight more (I suppose you could buy more than eight, but the box is designed to hold twelve at a maximum) if you want to be able to play with more people. I bought four additional, as I felt the main purpose of this game in my collection would be as a party game, and I wanted it to be able to accommodate a larger than normal number of players.
But that's my review of On Tour! I hope you found it helpful, and that it will allow you to better decide if you want to try it for yourself. So until next week, enjoy your touring and have fun playing games! And of course, don't forget to

Dean Lister DVD REVIEW – "Worry Free Escapes"
A couple of days ago John Danaher came out with he announced that he is finally releasing a DVD series. Every self-proclaimed leg locker in the world had as close to a holiday as possible when the news came out. For all the people that are still not knee-deep in leg locks, this came as a piece of horrible news. People are now going to have access to a highly structured and effective system of leg lock submissions, primarily heel hooks. This raises the need for a defensive concept to battle these brutal submissions in a safe and effective way. Luckily, there's no need to wait as there's a digital resource out there that is as good as they come. And it is hosted by the one man Danaher himself recognizes as the "original leg locker" Yup, you guessed it, it is a Dean Lister DVD that is all about escaping leg locks.
Dean Lister – Worry Free Escapes (DVD/DIGITAL)
Techniques List
In the flurry of leg lockin instructionals coming out every day, only a few have found it important to include defensive aspects of the game. This latest Dean Lister DVD is all about deconstructing the most dangerous leg locking positions and escaping submissions that were thought to be inescapable. Only a few people have managed to get out of bouts with the Danaher death quad without tapping toa heel hook so far, and now, you can learn the secrets to becoming one of them. Not that you're going to face the squad anytime soon, but you'll probably come up against a fan of theirs. this is even more dangerous, as people experimenting might do way more damage than those experienced in leg locks. So, grab your Worry-Free Escapes Dean Lister DVD and be afraid of leg locks no more!
The Threats Of The Modern Leg Locking Game
What Danaher brought of the world of Jiu-Jitsu, in terms of leg locks was nothing new. Actually, he applied the most basic BJJ principle of them all – positional control. Inspired by Dean Lister, Danaher decided to explore the forbidden territory of leg locks. However, he did not settle only for studying the different locks but instead developed a complete system. He decided to emphasize control over finishing, which interestingly enough, only improved the finishing.
Danaher leg locking system is based on what he calls Ashi Garami or leg entanglement. The Ashi Garami system focuses on controlling every joint of a leg with your whole body, before eventually finishing with a heel hook. its effectiveness is beyond doubt, as proven on every major competitive stage in the world. The riddle so far has been how to deal with the heel hook finishes that the system favors. The real problem, however, is dealing with the control that enables a grappler to finish with a submission.
Dean Lister, who is one of the most successful leg locker s in the world, is no stranger to the Danaher system. In fact, he is the reason Danaher developed it. Dean is also the first to recognize the need to deal with the positional dominance of this leg locking system, instead of submissions themselves. Now, with the Worry-Free Escapes Dean Lister DVD you can learn all the nuances of a successful defensive game too!

Worry-Free Escapes Dean Lister DVD
This Dean Lister DVD is a real masterpiece. Dean is extremely good at focusing on what is truly important and leaving all the mumbo-jumbo aside. he is a terrific teacher that is very easy to listen to. Do not expect to be confused by the complexity of his explanations. Quite the opposite, he keeps things simple and crystal clear.
The focus of this Dean Lister DVD set is on all leg locks that you might come up against. Whether legal or illegal, Dean offers ways to deal with every lock and position opponents might attempt against you. Three of the four volumes in the set are aimed at deconstructio\ng positions that lead to kneebars, heelhooks, toe holds, footlocks and knee compressions. The final volume is a bonus one, offering defenses to the most common upper body submissions and escaping dominant positions.
Kneebars And Heelhooks
No introduction needed, Dean jumps straight into the deep end. Volume number one starts off with a basic knee bar escape before tuning to the dreaded heel hooks. If you ever wondered how someone could escape Rousimar Palhares' heel hooks, you'll get the answer here. Dean deconstructs every little mechanical point of control so that you'll not only defend but escape the positions as well.
Kneebars are the central piece of this DVD, which is great news for all IBJJF competitors out there. Dean starts off easy, covering the basics of the kneebar, and offers defensive variations as the attack progresses. In that sense, you'll learn how to defend the kneebar at multiple levels, from entry all the way to full leg extension. Lister covers everything there is about kneebar and heelhook defense, all the way to deal with an Imanari roll.
Footlock Escapes
If there's one volume of this Dean Lister DVD set that every grappler needs to see it is this one. Straight footlocks are legal at every belt level in every competition in the world. A such, they are a big threat when done from a position of dominant control. Actually, it is this IBJJF legal footlock that Dean focuses on at first. Expect to learn a lot of details on the leg lock itself, before discovering how to get out.
Furthermore, the volume goes over every footlock position imaginable, Inside footlocks, outside footlock, attacks from the 50/50 guard area all covered in impressive depth. IN summary, this is the hail Mary of leg lock defense DVDs and is a must for anyone training BJJ.
Knee Compressions And Toe Holds
WHile toe holds are quite common in BJJ circuits, knee compressions are, for some reason, a very underused submission. Despite their huge effectiveness, people seem to shy away from them, even though they're legal in IBJJF tournaments. There are a few instances when people have pulled off brutal compression locks in the UFC. Lately, Geo Martinez got one at the highest level of No-Gi BJJ – The Eddie Bravo Invitational. NOw Lister offers ways in which to deal with these brutal submissions. The lock itself is not very difficult to defend, but the position is. Lister covers both prevention and escape. He also covers rolling attacks that are notoriously hard to defend against.
IN terms of toe holds, There's not much information. Let me rephrase that. There's not much-unneeded information. In one swift chapter, Lister explains how to deal with the toe hold once and for all, no matter the position your opponent is attacking you from. Easy, effective and simple.
Armbars, Guillotines And Positional Defense
Rounding off this amazing Dean Lister DVD are a few escapes and counters to upper body attacks. After going over every leg lock position available, Lister focuses on armbar escapes, guillotine defenses and Kimura counters that are as easy as they are effective. You'll also learn how to stay calm and collected when on the bottom of side control. This is essential in successfully getting out of one of the most dynamic positions in BJJ. All in all, you're become unsubmittable to even the most experienced grapplers.
