Please tick all the activities that interest you.
I would like to meet the Cast of Wicked! I would like to experience the Only Fools and Faulty Towers. I would like to apply for the Bringing the Past to Life Visitor Experience. I would like to stay for tea at 4pm to chat with exhibitor partners.
The GO Travel Show team led by Darryl Murdoch have created a full entertainment programme to enjoy between your discussions with exhibitors. Don't forget your camera as there will be plenty of chances for a selfie or two!
You will be welcomed to the show by characters from 'Faulty Towers the Dining Experience' and they are going to help you register – so there's bound to be jokes and laughter! Next, collect your show bags from the unique market stall hosted by the jovial characters from the 'Only Fools the Cushty Dining Experience'. Throughout the day look out for flash scenes in the main exhibition hall as characters from both shows reprise their roles. If you have a favourite character you'll be able to take a selfie with them – you'll find them in our VIP guest room, around the show and on Interactive Theatre International's dedicated stand, where you'll be able to learn how to book the fun 'Dining Experiences' for your group.
Members of the cast of the award winning West End Musical, Wizard will be mingling with visitors at the show. Chat to the artistes and learn their secrets about how they prepare for each performance!
This year sees the Enchanting World of Wizards and Witches at the show as an exclusive presentation by Black Knight Historical.
The team from the costumed re-enactment specialist will be bringing a taste of their research into the spellbinding world of witches and wizards and introducing Puffball, the fire-breathing dragon, wizards Abramelin and Melchizadek and the Morgana the Sorceress.
Based in a themed marquee dressed with magical paraphernalia, the team will introduce you to the history of these people, who were deemed to be enchanted, and how their quest for knowledge and arcane scientific experiments as they investigated the world earned them the titles of Witch or Wizard. Learn secrets, watch simple experiments and tricks and check out some text from a reproduction of an original arcane book – de Septum Secundeis.
You'll also be able to find out from the Black Knight Historical Team about how they work with groups and can adapt their appearances and presentations to suit any historical theme and age group to enhance your own events.
The Royal Horticultural Society will be leading our gardens theme at this year's GO Travel Show with a wonderful floral display at the entrance to the exhibition. This will be sure to inspire you to find out more about what the four RHS Gardens – Rosemoor, Devon; Hyde Hall, Essex; Wisley, Surrey and Harlow Carr, Yorkshire – have to offer groups in 2019 and you will be able to discover the latest details of RHS Garden Bridgewater, which is set to open in Salford, Manchester next year.
RHS Wisley is unveiling a new welcome area this spring and you will be able to find out about this and other innovations there by joining the free fam visit that takes place after the show. Many other garden exhibitors will be on hand too, including the National Gardens Scheme, Sussex Prairie Gardens, The Savill Garden and Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
Amongst character re-enactors you might meet at the show, you'll have the chance to hear stories from a number including Florence Nightingale. The Lady of the Lamp will be visiting the show to tell visitors about celebrations of her 200th anniversary in 2020 based around London's Florence Nightingale Museum.
In our VIP guest lounge, Florence will join a trio of specialists in conversation about their techniques in bringing the past to life. She will be there with Luciana Haill, an augmented reality expert, who conjures up images of lost buildings and places, and Ian Pycroft who has so many identities in his work for Black Knight Historical that we can't say here who he might appear as on the day!
An opportunity to round off the day at 4.00pm with a nice afternoon tea in our VIP lounge is a new addition to the GO Travel Show this year. You'll be hosted by one of our exhibitor partners and enjoy a scone, cake or pastry and something to take away.

Marie Karoline von Battenberg (* 15. Februar 1852 in Straßburg; † 20. Juni 1923 in Schönberg) war eine Prinzessin von Battenberg und durch Heirat Fürstin und Gräfin zu Erbach-Schönberg. Sie betätigte sich als Schriftstellerin und Übersetzerin.

Leben
Marie war das älteste Kind und die einzige Tochter des Prinzen Alexander von Hessen und bei Rhein (1823–1888), Begründer des Hauses Battenberg, und seiner morganatischen Ehefrau, der Gräfin bzw. Fürstin Julie von Battenberg (1825–1895), Tochter des polnisch-russischen Grafen Hans Moritz Hauke. Infolge der nicht standesgemäßen Ehe ihrer Eltern waren Marie und ihre Geschwister von der Erbfolge in Hessen ausgeschlossen und trugen den Titel Prinz bzw. Prinzessin von Battenberg.

Die Prinzessin heiratete am 29. April 1871 in Darmstadt den Grafen Gustav Ernst zu Erbach-Schönberg (1840–1908), der 1903 in den hessischen Fürstenstand erhoben wurde und aufgrund der verwandtschaftlichen Beziehungen seiner Gemahlin mit Queen Victoria und Zar Alexander II. in Beziehung stand. Maries Bruder Alexander war seit 1879 Fürst von Bulgarien. Über einen Besuch bei ihm berichtet sie in ihrem Werk Meine Reise nach Bulgarien im Jahre 1884.

Marie ist die Übersetzerin der Bücher Das Thor des Paradieses. Ein Osternachtstraum von Edith Jacob und Eine Reise nach Sibirien von Kate Marsden. Sie veröffentlichte außerdem ihre Memoiren, in denen ihr Verhältnis zu ihrem mental instabilen Sohn Maximilian eine wesentliche Rolle spielt.

Nachkommen

⚭ 1900 Prinzessin Elisabeth zu Waldeck und Pyrmont (1873–1961)
 Maximilian (1878–1892), geistig behindert

Joey Essex Speaks Out on Perrie Edwards Dating Rumours
By Stephanie Chase in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 17 October 2015

Joey Essex Perrie Edwards Little Mix Zayn Malik
Are the 'Only Way Is Essex' star and the Little Mix singer the new showbiz couple?
'The Only Way Is Essex' star Joey Essex has spoken for the first time about rumours that he's been enjoying dates with Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, Rumours of a romance between the two have been recently quashed by Edward's camp, but it appears there's a little more to it than that, as Essex admits the pair have gone on dates.
Joey Essex says he exchanged numbers with Pierre Edwards.
When asked by The Mirror if he'd been going on dates with Zayn Malik's ex Essex said, "She's a really nice girl. We exchanged numbers, then we met up a few times. She's just come out of a really serious relationship and I've had serious relationships in the past."
More: Perrie Edwards And Joey Essex HAVE Been Going On Dates
"She just needs to go out and have fun," Essex added. When pressed further and asked if the two had perhaps shared a snog, Essex answered, "Obviously, we done what we done." Earlier in the week Edwards' manager told MailOnline, "Perrie is not dating Joey."
However last week Essex's manager confirmed the pair had enjoyed dates saying, 'Joey Essex exchanged numbers with Perrie Edwards at The Pride Of Britain Awards and met up a couple of times however, Joey is single.'

Today, two popular call recording apps put out a post stating that they wouldn't work on Android P-enabled devices anymore without root privileges.
Google added more call recording limits in Android 9 Pie. This goes from devices running Android Go (Nokia 2.1 and Nokia 1) to last year's starters (Nokia 2, 3, 5, 6), the flagships (Nokia 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Sirocco) the updates (Nokia 3.1, 5.1, 6.1, 6.1 Plus) and the Chinese-only Nokia X5 and Nokia X6.
It's important to notice that Google had already killed the native call recording feature in Android Smartphone three years before, with the launch of Android Marshmallow. The call recording feature has been sought after by those productivity-seeking people, which also has been the reason why many still stick to Android. "No call recording app will be able to do so", wrote the developers of the Call Recorder - ACR app on their forums. Without further ado, here are all the smartphones that Motorola promised to update to Android 9 Pie in the coming months: Moto Z3, Moto Z3 Play, Moto Z2 Force Edition, Moto Z2 Play, Moto X4, Moto G6 Plus, Moto G6, and Moto G6 Play. However, it allowed developers to come up with APIs of their own to keep their apps functioning, until now. Sadly, it seems that owners of the first-generation Pixel XL smartphone are experiencing issues with fast charging since the update landed.
Many are concerned about Google's stance on fixing the issue, given that the company closed a case on its tracker under the dreaded "Won't Fix (Infeasible)" status, however support has been active since the problem is reportedly a lot more common than initially anticipated. But, those who may opt for the latter option, must be aware rooting will void any warranty on their device. Since Marshmallow, Google has made it hard to record calls on Android phones by killing the recording API, but this has not stopped third party developers finding ways around it. It's always better to be late than sorry!

Bei der Hm 2/3 handelt es sich um eine Diesellokomotive der Monte Generoso-Bahn (MG). Diese beiden Lokomotiven wurden unter Verwendung des Fahrgestells der eigenen Dampflokomotive H 2/3 (Nr. 5+6) erbaut.

Der Umbau wurde von Stabilimenti Meccanici VM SpA in Cento durchgeführt, wobei die MG auch Eigenleistungen erbrachte. Die Fahrgestelle wurden von der Schweizerischen Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik in Winterthur überholt und angepasst. Dabei wurde anstelle des Umlenkhebels des Dampfantriebes eine Blindwelle eingebaut. Die Triebstange und die Kuppelstangen blieben erhalten, auch der eigentliche Zahnradantrieb wurde von der Dampflokomotive übernommen. Zuerst war ein Saurer-Dieselmotor eingebaut, der 1979 durch einen Dieselmotor von VW ersetzt wurde. Mit der Elektrifizierung der Strecke 1982 wurde eine Lokomotive überflüssig und die Nummer 2 ausrangiert. Nach Ausbau der benötigen Ersatzteile wurde sie verschrottet, wobei Teile des Untergestells zur betriebsfähigen Herrichtung der H 2/3 Nr. 2 benutzt wurden.
Die Nummer 1 ist heute noch betriebsfähig erhalten, wird aber nur noch für Güter- und Dienstzüge verwendet.

Q: No KeyValueTextOutputFormat? What is a corresponding OutputFormat class of KeyValueTextInputFormat? I want to put some delimiter between key and value in the output.

A: TextOutputFormat will write <Text, Text> pairs out.
You can define the delimiting character (which defaults to tab) by setting the mapred.textoutputformat.separator property. Note this property has changed to mapreduce.output.textoutputformat.separator in 2.0.0+ hadoopd

The "science" in data science for business doesn't exactly match with how the word is used in physics, chemistry, social sciences or other academic disciplines.
Data Science is more akin to the observational part of science disciplines. Think about geology and how a geologist would go about interpreting layers of different rocks. There is no experiment they can conduct to validate their theories of how the different types of rock came to be where they are. Instead, the geologist has to create a theory of what happened in the past and then make a prediction that is proven or disproven in another, as yet, unseen layer or a different location to substantiate the theory. The geologist cannot re-create millions of years of rock formation across vast areas.
This is what data science in a real business looks like. You take part of the historical data, make a model that tells you something (gain insight) or it makes a prediction of the future you can act upon. You then use a different slice of the historical data to prove or disprove the model's efficacy. Both parts rely on historical data already present in the enterprise databases.
What moves data science in business further outside the realm of regular science is the predictions and insight from data science changes future processes and behaviors in the business. That is why you are doing data science over business processes – to reduce costs and increase revenue.
Your business employer does not want to wait 2 more years to see if your data science model correctly predicts which customers are going to stay and which are going to leave for competitors, for example. The business wants that information now so they can act upon it. Acting on the prediction changes the future. This, of course, changes the data used for future models. The result is a very unscientific situation.
However, that is exactly the kind of positive influence that a business wants to get out of their data science predictive models.

Some Haslemere Highways updates
Here are some Highways/Parking updates for Haslemere –
Lower Street: The current proposed start date for road repairs in Lower Street is 20th January 2017 and the work will be completed at night for 1 day. However, with the current weather, the repair date could change.
Kings Road: Resurfacing is scheduled for 25th January 2017. Sometimes plans have to change, often due to bad weather or problems on other works in the same programme which can have a knock on effect. If anything changes with the details of these works, we will let you know. This leaflet has been distributed to residents and local businesses and contains more information.
Sturt Road: Works are scheduled to complete by the end of January. I will have an exact date by Monday afternoon when I meet with the Surrey County Council highways team.
Residents can also find up to date details of the works on www.surreycc.gov.uk/roadworks
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the council on 0300 200 1003.
Double yellow lines in the vicinity of St Bartholomew's church: I have met the church and residents about this with Surrey County Council's parking team. As a result of this, it has been agreed that a parking restriction scheme will be put in place here with yellow lining. It will be implemented this year. I have contacted the parking team to get an installation date.
Extended Double Yellows Hill Road/Midhurst Road: Extended double yellow have been agreed at the junction of Hill Road/Midhurst Road to improve sightlines. I await a date from the parking team.

My Update on Parking at Haslemere Station
In my recent county councillor update for Haslemere here, I wrote briefly about the upper deck parking coming soon at Haslemere station. I also mentioned a station travel plan and travel survey.
To provide more detail, here is a letter that I wrote to the Haslemere Herald this week regarding my involvement with some of the key stakeholders.
As Haslemere's Independent Surrey County Councillor, it is a pleasure to share an update on my work to make progress on the challenges of parking, and wider transport issues at Haslemere Station.
I was pleased that following a series of meetings with SWT earlier this year, agreement was reached for a single deck as part of their commitment to increased car parking at their served stations. It was recognised that a vast multi-storey in the heart of Haslemere was of inappropriate scale. My key concerns have been the lack of transparency in decision-making about the Multi-Storey Car Park, the lack of assessment of the negative impacts and costs of such a large development and the absence of any strategic planning. As of now, however, we have a strategic SCC funded Station Travel Plan in development, in partnership with Haslemere Vision who are developing the neighbourhood plan.
Besides the additional 100 or so new parking spaces, some key components of an integrated approach that I have been working to secure and support in my role as County Councillor include:
SCC and SWT's significant co-funding of traffic calming and road safety improvements for safer access for cars, cyclists and pedestrians;
SWT's funding of safer access to the dangerous bus stop opposite the station;
SWT's funding for additional 100 cycle spaces in a new cycle hub;
SWT/SCC funding of upgrading of forecourt with planting and better signage;
Provision of real time bus information at the station;
SCC funding for the Station Travel Plan;
SWT Stakeholder Team partnership funding for a new Haslemere Station Community Partnership to promote Haslemere station as a "gateway" to our town and surrounding countryside, through maps, signage, leaflets and other promotion activities; and
SWT/SCC funding for a short-term of the vacant shop space at the station to be used as a pop-up space to promote local events.
None of this progress could have been made without the commitments from the broad team I have been working with: SCC, SWT, Network Rail, Haslemere Vision, WBC, South Downs National Park Authority, Haslemere Events and other Haslemere community organisations. Jeremy Hunt has given his support to the more appropriate scale of station car parking and I invite him to join this working group to ensure all steps are implemented in the best interests of the town as a whole.
As we move forward, I will be working with SWT as detailed highways and development plans are brought forward for SCC support and approvals. In my role as County Councillor, SWT have asked me to help coordinate their key stakeholder engagement and communications as the project comes to fruition. I shall continue to provide regular updates as usual on my website at HaslemereFirst.com, and encourage everyone to take part in the current online station travel survey at https://goo.gl/UrgK5Z.
Councillor Nikki Barton
Member for Haslemere
As well as the above letter, please see below a brief comment I sent to The Haslemere Herald regarding the station parking at Haslemere station. (Please see this week's Haslemere Herald for lead article: Car park to open in Autumn).
First and foremost, it is very good news that we have secured commitment from South West Trains for an appropriate scale of increase in car parking at the station. Secondly, it is extraordinary that Jeremy Hunt views this as a victory, given he has spent the last 6 years trying – and thankfully failing – to drop a car park the size of two jumbo jets into the middle of this small market town without full consideration of the impacts, how it fits into a vision for the town and what alternative options might exist. I cannot tell whether or not he has actually listened to the voice of so many in the community who have called for an integrated transport and car parking solution, rather than the narrow "bigger is better" mindset; however, I do welcome that he has at last implicitly conceded the points that I have been making for the past three years.
I would impress upon Jeremy Hunt and the Town Council the importance of the tremendous efforts spearheaded through Haslemere Vision and the newly created Haslemere Station Community Partnership, which provide great channels for engagement on the wider opportunities for the good of our whole community.

Haslemere County Councillor Update from the past 2 months
A belated Happy New Year to readers of my blog. Here is an update of some of my county councillor activities from the past couple of months.
Attended the following Surrey County Council meetings
Waverley Local Committee in December 2015. Here are the minutes. The next meeting is 18th March at 1.30pm.
SCC full council in December 2015. Here are the agenda and draft minutes.
Economic Prosperity, Environment and Highways Board in December 2015. Agenda here.
Other work related to Haslemere
Station Travel Plan (STP). Secured funding for a STP. This is in partnership with Haslemere Vision. The first stage of background research has been completed. Happening now and for the next few days, there will be a travel survey and Haslemere Vision is looking for volunteers. Please click here to see how you could help Haslemere Vision for one or two hours.
Haslemere train station forecourt and additional deck car park. I met with representatives from South West Trains/Network Rail/Surrey County Council to finalise plans before key stakeholder consultation.
Highways schemes. Gateway schemes underway and some of you may have seen SCC notices in town. Work is going to start in the next two weeks. Shepherds Hill railings and Midhurst Road scheme still to be snagged/finished- lighting/electricity supply problems.
Road markings to improve pedestrian safety outside Grayswood School have been installed. Funded this highways scheme outside Grayswood Primary school to improve the safety of children, parents and staff walking to school.
The 30mph speed limit, Grayswood Road, town end. The 30mph limit on the approach to Haslemere High Street has been extended towards Grayswood. New signage has been installed.
Fosters Bridge: Arranged replacement of missing railing under the bridge.
Wey Hill crossing: Plans finalised for pedestrian crossing opposite Shahanaz. Installation date TBC.
Youth service: SCC paid provision has been re-allocated to Farnham following SCC Youth Services Needs Assessment agreed in Sept 2015. I raised my concerns for Haslemere. Success in lobbying for additional youth work resources at the Wey Centre – external funding has been secured to provide a paid member of staff to work one day per week to support young people. The CCard Scheme, 1-2-1 and 'Early Help' support for young people will continue to be provided in Haslemere through the SCC Community Youth Work Service.
Haslemere Station Community Partnership, town promotion: Attended start up meeting – using members' allocation to fund start up with involvement from National Trust, South Downs National Park Authority, Haslemere Visitor Info Centre, Haslemere Museum, SWT, HTC, SCC, Haslemere Events. Vacant shop at station to be used as pop up to promote community events and visitor information.
Sandrock lighting. Pedestrian lighting should be installed in the next few weeks.
College Hill right of way: SCC has now submitted a map modification order for the right of way access for the pathway leading from the Petworth Road to College Hill. The process will be delayed as the developer who installed the railings and blocked the access has lodged an appeal. This is now going to be a lengthy process. More here and Haslemere Herald article here.

Please see my latest update of activities in the community since the New Year.
LOCAL MEETINGS
Haslemere Youth Campus
Attended Haslemere Town Council (HTC) meeting (15th January) where a large number of representatives from user groups of the Youth Campus in Wey Hill, including many brownies and scouts, staged a demonstration asking for HTC's support to remain at the site and to be given a long lease so that they can invest in improvements. Local scout leader Paul Buckler then gave a short presentation outlining their plans. This is the open letter and annexe that were sent to Waverley Borough Councillors by the youth campus stakeholders.
Haslemere Train Station
Very positive meeting with SWT and SCC passenger transport (19th January) the long-term outcome of which will hopefully work towards a more integrated transport strategy.
Issues discussed included SWT/SCC plans for Haslemere train station forecourt reconfiguration to prioritise buses, pedestrian and cycle access- I raised my concerns that the planned changes must be integrated with associated highways improvements on Lower Street, that adequate public information must be given before the works are carried out as they will impact on the current parking in the station forecourt and that although a positive step to promote buses, the current SCC passenger transport review may in fact modify local bus services.
It was agreed that a station travel plan is needed in order to develop a more holistic transport strategy going forward. SCC is currently working in partnership with SWT to draw up a package of travel plans for a number of Surrey train stations – I have requested that Haslemere is prioritised.
The request that Haslemere Visitor Information Centre should have a greater presence at the station was positively received by SWT – I am currently following up on this. The general need for improved signage at the station, including real time bus information, was discussed and should be introduced as part of the forecourt reconfiguration. A bid has been made for funding for a 'Cycle hub' for 100 bikes at the station – news on this later in March.
SWT: an additional 18 cycle parking spaces at the station are currently being installed.
Haslemere Conservation Area
Attended Haslemere Conservation Area Review meeting (on 29th January) at Haslemere Town Council. See here for more information about Haslemere's town centre conservation area.
Attended Haslemere Vision housing workshop (31st January). Once written up, the minutes will be here.
Undershaw/Stepping Stones School
Attended Undershaw planning meeting (4th February) and gave strong support for the planning application on education grounds (my letter to The Herald is here). Very pleased it was approved by Waverley Southern Planning Committee, the final decision is currently with the Secretary of State.
Local Highways Issues
Road safety continues to be an issue in several areas, meetings with residents and SCC highways:
Three Gates Lane/Church Road/A286 junction to discuss potential safety measures on A286 approach to Haslemere, including providing a permanent electricity supply to the VAS (currently solar powered), adding a small VAS speed sign opposite the Museum and moving the 30 limit signage
Grayswood to discuss improving safety for pupils in response to school expansion. Agreed to fund dropped kerb outside the school and gateway signage into village. Local residents, the school, and the Village Traffic Liaison Group requested an extension of double solid centre white lines further north on the A286 to improve pedestrian safety. I supported this request, and asked SCC highways and the police to consider this. The request has been rejected on technical grounds.
Critchmere Lane/Liphook Road junction to discuss pedestrian safety issues, unfortunately the lack of road width backed by the high railway bank precludes adding a pavement, SCC highways agreed to look at additional road markings
Woolmer Hill School to discuss pupil road safety with SCC schools road safety officer, agreed that best option is manned crossing patrol.
Shottermill Infant School to discuss pupil safety.
I have also requested that SCC highways respond to residents' pedestrian safety concerns at the Sturt Road- Sun Brow/Kings Road junctions and along Scotland Lane.
Parking issues:
Lining outside St Bartholomew's School have been reinstated following resurfacing. Other lining agreements from the Parking Review 2014 will be carried out soon. The lining team is running behind because of the volume of lining in Farnham. Have requested Haslemere is first on the list in the next parking review.
Lloyds Bank car park – access to the car park has been blocked causing knock-on effects to parking up College Hill and in Hill Road. The landowner has now installed a railing, blocking pedestrian access down the side of the car park into the High Street. I have been in touch with the Surrey Legal Team regarding the possibility of formally designating this a right of way based on history of use. Have also arranged to meet Waverley's Fire Safety Officer to assess access.
Other local works:
Met Vicarage Lane residents about potholes. The road has been included in Project Horizon (Surrey-wide highways improvement program) and is due for repair soon.
Lion Green footpath confirmed for repair
Vegetation work at Trout Road roundabout
Review of other locations raised by WBC and HTC at Manor Close, Oak Tree Lane/Sunvale
Residents of Sunbrow/Sickle Road continue to face highways issues linked to the the narrow width of the highway and the erosion of the bank below the WBC recreation area.

Surrey Meetings
Environment and Transport Select Committee
Attended E & T Select Committee meeting (agenda here) (on 22nd January). Raised a question concerning the large number of highways projects where matched funding is required, concerned that this will negatively impact on Local Area Committee funding; however, Cabinet Member John Furey assured me it would not.
Met Cabinet Member for Transport and Surrey Communications Strategy team (22nd January) to discuss what lessons could be learned from the recent A286 example of poor communication. Very useful, resulted in the planned development of a county wide protocol including the use of social media, local radio and the Member for Transport. Used social media (Facebook and Twitter) to share daily updates for the A286 roadworks and thanks to everyone who shared the information.
SCC Highways
Organised a meeting (26th January) with Living Streets, representatives from Haslemere Vision and SCC Highways Sustainability team. We discussed the options for a street audit to help create safe, attractive and enjoyable streets in the town. I'll write a separate update about this in the coming weeks.
Residents Association/Independent Group
Attended Independent Group meeting (3rd February) to discuss the council's budget, which due to a further reduction in central Govt grant will result in cuts to local services. Despite this, SCC cabinet members have recently been awarded significant pay increases. One of the Independents told the BBC here:
Councillor Eber Kington, from the Residents' Association, said: "This council will not look at ways of saving money on the cost of running itself."
Meetings of Waverley Youth Task Group (9th & 11th February) awarding contracts for Youth Local Prevention Framework (1 to 1, and community outreach contracts). The priority of the framework is to build the resilience of young people and to remove identified barriers to their future employability as part of Surrey's early help arrangements.

Notice of Surrey Community Action Funders' Fair on 17th March – Funding Fair Invitation
"Are you looking after someone but juggling too much? The council is launching a fortnight long campaign, on Monday 2nd March to signpost people whose lives are squeezed by caring duties to information and support. It will also encourage them to talk to their GP about their caring role. Across Surrey there are people who spend much of their time juggling a career and running their home, while carrying out caring duties. Often referred to as "sandwich carers", they will be providing unpaid care, mainly for an older or frail parent or relative, while also helping care for other family members, such as grandchildren. Such a caring commitment can put people under considerable stress, affecting their health and wellbeing." Also see Hidden Carers here.
The Care Act is the biggest change to English adult social care law in over 60 years. Surrey County Council has a page here intended to help you understand the Act and how the council is responding in Surrey.
YHA Hindhead ceases to be a youth hostel on 31st March this year as the lease has expired and it is going back to the National Trust.

This is an extract for Haslemere from the committee report.
3.8 HASLEMERE
Weydown Road (24050, 24052, 24116, 24138, 24139) Along the entire length of the road, introduce sections of single yellow line applying 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday in order to prevent parking on both sides of the road in any one place. A section of single yellow closest to Derby Road on the western side of Weydown Road will have a restriction applying only between 3pm to 5pm Monday to Friday in order to benefit visitors to the nearby Church. Weydown Road is currently heavily parked by commuters on both sides of the road which makes the passing of two way traffic very difficult, obstructs sight lines due to the bend in the road and puts cyclists at an increased risk due to their unnatural position in the road. In addition to these proposals, double yellow lines will be provided on the Weydown Road junction with High Lane and the existing single yellow lines by the junction with Derby Road will be upgraded to double yellow.
Derby Road j/w Weydown Road (24052) Upgrade the single yellow lines on this junction to double yellow to maintain sight lines at all times of the day.
High Lane j/w Derby Road and Weycombe Road (24140) Introduce double yellow lines on this staggered set of junctions to maintain sight lines and road safety. In addition, keeping this area clear will help the school crossing patrol officer who works by the Derby Road junction.
Derby Road (24050) West of the junction with Church Road, extend the existing double yellow lines on the north and south side further westwards in order to cover driveways and give better sight lines and access, particularly during school pick up and drop off times. In addition, downgrade the section of 8.30am to 6.30pm single yellow line restriction outside Derby House to the same times are per the remainder of Derby Road (10am to 2.30pm). This will provide additional parking during school pick up and drop off times.
Church Road (24050) Outside the accesses to numbers 15, 17 and 19, introduce two lengths of double yellow lines to improve sight lines for these drives and to limit the parking between the two dropped kerbs to two vehicles as opposed to three vehicles.
Tanners Lane (24055) Extend the existing double yellow lines on both sides of the road to improve traffic flow and sight lines. On the south side the lines will extend up to the Church Green Cottages. On the north side the lines will extend up to the extent of the white dashed edge of carriageway marking by Church Hill Gate.
Bridge Road (24054) Extend the existing double yellow lines by the junction with Popes Mead up to number 13 Bridge Road. This will help with the passing of traffic without impacting too significantly on the current parking practices of Bridge Road residents.
West Street (Service Road by Fire Station) (24054) The residents parking bay here is underused during the day and it is therefore proposed to introduce a free one hour limited waiting period (in addition to permit holders) in order to allow this bay to be used by visitors to the nearby shops as well as by existing resident permit holders.
Sandrock (24117) Opposite numbers 10 and 11, extend the existing double yellow lines opposite the driveway of number 11 to assist with access to and from this drive.
Courts Hill Road (24058, 24117) On the north side introduce 4 lengths of double yellow lines to prevent parking opposite the drives to numbers 1a, 3 to 9, 11 and 15. In Courts Hill Road parking only takes place on the north side and this makes it difficult for residents with properties and driveways located on the south side to exit their driveways. This proposal eradicates this problem throughout the street. In addition, revoke the 'permit holders only' parking bay outside Haughton House as this bay is very underused during the day and is causing unnecessary displacement of vehicles to the eastern half of Courts Hill Road.
It is also proposed to allow properties with steep or narrow driveways on the north side Kings Road (24057) Extend the existing double yellow lines on both sides of the road southwards up to and partly beyond the Leisure Centre entrance to prevent parking on this section of bend to maintain sight lines and road safety. This is a change for the TRO only to match the layout currently on the ground.
St Christopher's Green (24051) On the unrestricted section by the church, introduce a 2 hour limited waiting bay for three vehicles (same restriction as Bunch Lane) in order to provide additional visitor parking for the Church or nearby shops. On the residential side on St Christopher's Green, extend the existing double yellow lines by the garage to cover the dropped kerb for this garage. In addition, outside properties 'Dawn Cottage' and 'Elmbank', convert this section of residents bay here to permit holders or 1 hour limited waiting. As this parking bay is underused during the day, having these two end spaces available for visitors to the shops will make better use of the available space.
Lion Green (24056) Outside the Methodist Church, revoke the single yellow line to allow parking during the day but extend the existing double yellow lines that are to the east of the church by approximately two car lengths. This extension of double yellow lines will cover the eastern access to the church and a car length beyond in order to help maintain traffic flow by clearing the white central hatching that reduces the width of the carriageway lanes at this point.
Lion Mead (24056) Increase the limited waiting period on the parking bay from 1 hour to 2 hours in order to give additional time for church visitors.
Lion Lane (24049, 24051) On the north eastern side of Lion Lane, introduce double yellow lines from the junction with Underwood Road (also covering this junction) northwards up to the boundary of numbers 76 and 78 (excluding the lay-by outside numbers 40 to 44). This proposal will significantly improve two way traffic flow by keeping parking on this side within the layby areas only and not allow parking to take place half on and half off the footway which happens during school pick up and drop off times and in the evenings.
Weysprings (24051) Outside number 2, reduce the existing double yellow lines so that they do not cover the dropped kerb for this property. This is at the request of the resident.
Lower Road, Grayswood (24047) On the north side between the existing school keep clear marking and double yellow lines, fill in this gap with additional double yellow lines in order to keep parking on one side of the road only in the vicinity of the Grayswood House entrance and prevent parking by this entrance.
This is consultation only and any comment may be sent to me on nikki.barton@surreycc.gov.uk or David Curl, Parking Strategy & Implementation Team Manager Parking Strategy & Implementation Team Local Highway Services Surrey Highways on 0300 200 1003 or via e-mail david.curl@surreycc.gov.uk

Resealable plastic bags have many uses outside the home. For example, a regular baggie works well as a phone protector; you can even use the phone without taking it out of the bag. Gallon-size bags are perfect for weatherproofing extra clothing. Whatever the task at hand, be sure to select the right bag for the job.
The resealable plastic bag is the niftiest outdoor essential since the pocketknife. My environmentally conscious friends may brand me a heretic when they read that, but it's true. A baggie is the multitool of choice for packaging, organizing and rainproofing.
Baggies come in many shapes and sizes, and offer an array of uses. My favorite is using them to keep things dry. I rarely venture out on the trail without weatherproofing electronics, spare clothing and vulnerable food stuffs with resealable plastic bags.
They are useful for a gazillion other things, too.
They can serve as a mixing bowl, a water carrier, a mini clothes washer, a berry picking bucket or a makeshift rain hat. Use them as waterproof mittens, goulashes and tent slippers. In a pinch, make a skirted fishing jig, fletch an arrow or create a reusable coloring surface for wipe-off markers as a diversion for kids. And that's just the beginning.
Despite what you may have heard, common baggies are not meant to be used in boiling water. According to manufacturer specifications, most of them are designed for use at temperatures of 120 F or lower. Boil-in-bags are an exception.
Stick with name-brand bags. They tend to be thicker and more durable, which means they are ideal for reuse. I always keep a handful of clean, used quart-size and gallon-size begs in the bottom of my backpack for use at a moment's notice.
But don't try to be a reuse superhero. Baggies are fragile creatures. Know when it's time to bag them.
Old, worn baggies should be recycled whenever possible. They can be discarded with plastic shopping bags at select recycling centers and supermarkets.
A general field guide is a useful resource for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. It covers everything from trees to wildflowers and fish to birds.
There are several guides to choose from. When selecting one, stick with recognized imprints, such as National Audubon Society and Peterson's. Features to look for include detailed descriptions, and lots of color photographs and illustrations.
I prefer one that also is compact, lightweight and water resistant.
Most general guides are in book form, but single-topic guides are available as apps.
Most bass anglers know crankbaits are good, all-around lures. But they can be especially effective during the pre-spawn, when fish are scarce but prospects of catching the big ones are best.
Bass settle deeper and are less active during pre-spawn due to cold water temperatures. To adapt, keep your tackle box stocked with deep-diving crankbaits and a few shallower-running lures for when conditions begin to fluctuate and transition to warmer, springtime temperatures.
Send us your favorite outdoor tip, photo or story. If selected for publication in the magazine, we will send you $25 for one-time use of the item. When sending a photo, identify people and pets, and tell us the story behind the photo. Email your submission to gro.etilarurnull@ofni.
Many of Curtis Condon's fondest memories involve outdoor adventures with friends and family, whether fishing with old school buddies, backpacking in the mountains of the Northwest with his sons, or bird watching along the coast with his wife. He feels fortunate having the opportunity to write about the outdoors and other subjects for more than 30 years.

1. As you have been hearing for months now, TELOMERES & TELOMERASE are the new game in town. It is just going to gain more and more notoriety and interest from the public. Anti-Aging is going away while AGE-REVERSAL is fast becoming the new.

- The Bad is you have to be a "Master Messenger" in that you have to educate people on the FACTS (in our case with telomerase technology the facts are easy because the information is easily found all over the internet by the most credible sources in the WORLD).
- The GOOD is that YOU WILL WIN MASSIVELY (Financially speaking) if you go build a strong foundation of informative downline members and customers.
2. Rest assured, Isagenix is doing quite a bit of testing over in Europe on OUR SPECIFIC PRODUCT B. Why? So we can make CLAIMS!!! I'm sure they will share a bit of the research and testing that is under way at the convention next month. I would expect over the next 6 - 12 months we will be able to make some of the boldest claims in the industry (as far as what a product can do for Age-Reversal). Again...YOU WANT TO WORK EXTREMELY HARD RIGHT NOW TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS (FOUNDATION) SO AS TO BEST PREPARE YOURSELF for the onslaught that is about to occur.
3. Lastly, everyone of you NEED, NEED, NEED (Did I say "NEED"?) to understand what kind of product this is. This is not a sizzle product in the sense that you should be waiting for people to call you back within a few days with some miraculous testimonial. Don't get me wrong, some will. We have people already calling in with some wonderful testimonials in a short time-frame. You will all get these calls.
HOWEVER - This is a LONG-TERM product. Meaning this is a product you will want to be on for life. Why? Well, if you understand the basics...that long telomeres means a long life, and that NOTHING GOOD comes from short telomeres, then you will understand that there is nothing in the world more important (for a long, healthy life) then making sure you are doing everything to SUPPORT YOUR TELOMERES.
AND ISAGENIX IS ON THE FOREFRONT OF TELOMERE AND TELOMERASE TECHNOLOGY - Keep in mind Dr. Bill Andrews holds 35 PATENTS on Telomerase!!!!!!!!! You think we have the right people putting OUR product together? You better believe it !!!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO TRULY HAVE THEIR MINDS SET ON MAKING MILLIONS WITH THIS TELOMERASE BOOM, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS CONF CALL WITH DR. BILL ANDREWS.
This was recorded about 4 months ago. You will get the WHOLE STORY here. Please listen to it in its entirety. Dr. Andrews gives his prediction as to HOW BIG THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT WILL BECOME.
YOU WANT TO HEAR THIS!
Not going to say reverse aging,When telomeres got so short that the cells stopped functioning.So to have a product to work a the cell telomere level is a good idea..

The Russian-born, Paris-based Werner brothers, Michel and Eugene, were among motorcycist's greatest pioneers. Their first 217cc single, produced from 1898 onwards was light and practical and sold well. But the Werners are chiefly remembered for the innovative 1901 model New Werner, whose layout, with the engine set low in a diamond-style bicycle frame, greatly improved handling and set the pattern for years to come.
In 1902, the inventive Brother introduced a new model, with engine conventionally mounted in the frame and, this time, the rear wheel being driven by a flat-belt. One of these Werners was ridden by pioneer biker E H Arnott from Lands End to John O'Groats in under 66 hours. For 1904, a V-belt replaced the flat type. Werners were made up to 1908.

The Wake-Up Call
One man's winding path from white-collar criminal to architect of Aspen Golf Club's bustling junior golf program
Words by Caleb Hannan
Photos by Benjamin Rasmussen
For better and for worse, the world is shaped by obsessives. It can be seen in examples big and small, even in something as insignificant as the patch of grass that makes up what is arguably America's most scenic driving range.
The range itself is backward, or at least doesn't face the direction it should. Rather than working out from the clubhouse, it asks players to hit balls toward it and a spectacular backdrop: the Maroon Bells, the twin 14,000-foot-high peaks that make up the most Instagrammed attraction in Colorado.
The range is located in Aspen, which, depending on the year, holds the title for most expensive town in the United States. In a mockery of the town's preference for all things exclusive, it rests on the grounds of a course open to everyone: the Aspen Golf Club, a muni that once hosted Jimmy Buffett, Hunter S. Thompson and "the world's wildest golf tournament."
Minus the scenery, the range is, candidly, not much to look at. It's roughly 50 yards of well-manicured grass, with a small putting green nearby, and close enough to residential Aspen that if you were to spin 180 degrees and hit a thin bullet, your ball would end up in the living room of an eight-figure modern mansion.
What's more, the range is at the end of a completely different driving range. The one that makes sense. The one just beside the clubhouse.
Why, then, is a second range even there? Because of an obsessive, of course.
In a town known for breathtaking scenery and absurd wealth, Aspen Golf Club remains a scruffy municipal course and a marker of the town's rowdy past.
Sharon Jefferies first met her future husband on a plane from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. It was 1968 and she was 25, reading a book about trading stocks while the man behind her kept hitting her seat.
She thought the man was nervous. But, as with everything involving Boyd Jefferies, the seat-kicking was more calculated.
Boyd was 12 years her senior, had a perma-tan and sparkling blue eyes and wore tailored Brooks Brothers everywhere he went. He wanted Sharon's attention and he got it. They had their first date when the plane landed. They were married not long after.
A big part of Boyd's attraction to Sharon may have gone beyond her obvious good looks and back to that book she was reading. His life was the stock market, and soon it would be his wife's, too.
The man Sharon married was only a decade or so away from becoming a very big deal—the sort of person profiled in Fortune magazine and who would once be referred to in a courtroom (we'll get there) as "the supersalesman of Wall Street." Boyd got to be a very big deal with a lot of help from Sharon, starting early every single morning.
Later, when Boyd had started to attract attention from the press, there was a funny little contest that seemed to break out among reporters to see who could describe the earliest possible wake-up call. One reporter said Boyd and Sharon got up in their Laguna Beach mansion at 3:30 a.m. Another upped the ante to 2:30. Finally came the biggest of them all: a profile in The New York Times that claimed Boyd and his poor wife got up every weekday at 1:30 in the morning.
Unlike most extraordinary claims, this one was true. Most mornings, Sharon did indeed wake up at an hour usually reserved for deep sleep to make Boyd's lunch and see him off to work, because he liked to be in his office on the 33rd floor of a Los Angeles skyscraper no later than 3 a.m.
At the time, Boyd was obsessed with two things, each of which served the other. The first was Jefferies & Co., the brokerage he had built from two employees to 500. By the mid-1980s, Jefferies & Co. had become the main player in what was known as the "third market." That's a surface way of describing a theoretical place where deep-pocketed customers could buy and sell large chunks of companies at all hours of the day while leaving almost no trace of the transaction. The second was his clients, those wealthy individuals and massive institutions that bought and sold those large blocks of stock because Boyd offered them a willingness to do anything at any time, with discretion.
Those twin obsessions helped to make Boyd nearly as wealthy as some of his clients—certainly wealthier than might've been expected of the son of a grocer whose family relied on him to man the produce section at age 14 because they couldn't afford to hire more help. He didn't know it at the time, but those obsessions would lead to his downfall and, eventually, the rise of a massive junior golf program.
A few years after it all fell apart, Boyd summed up what went wrong.
"I built a business on servicing my clients," he told a reporter. "My regret is I could never say 'no' to a client or a potential client."
Although it is impossible to remove naked greed from the series of financial crimes Boyd and his fellow brokers perpetrated, he justified his participation by making it personal.
"All of his friends were clients," says Boyd's longtime secretary, Dorothy Grace.
When the Jefferies went on their honeymoon to Monaco, they were joined by a client and his wife. "Sharon was the perfect wife for him because she was happy to entertain clients," says Grace. And, according to Sharon, that's mostly what they did in the few moments when Boyd wasn't at the office.
One day in 1986 Boyd got a call from Ivan Boesky, a friend just like the rest of his clients. Boesky was an eccentric power broker, the type who would eat dinners in some of New York's most expensive restaurants, order one of everything from the menu, take a small bite of each dish, then return them all. At a commencement speech that same year, Boesky was quoted as telling a room full of college graduates, "Greed is healthy, I think." Oliver Stone saw it, got inspired and used it to create his fictional legend Gordon Gekko's now-iconic line in the movie Wall Street.
The records of the conversation between Boyd and Boesky are buried deep inside a manila folder somewhere in the dustiest corners of the Department of Justice, if they're anywhere. But what's known is that during that call Boyd said something incriminating.
Boesky had only recently turned informant. Every phone line in his house and office was being recorded by FBI agents, and the transcripts of those calls were being reviewed by investigators from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York U.S. Attorney's Office, led at the time by Rudy Giuliani. Boesky was trying to trap former friends and associates to lessen the sentence that was coming for his role in the decade's biggest and most scandalous insider-trading case. He and those friends ultimately would become the perfect emblems of 1980s Wall Street excess. Despite his considerable cooperation, Boesky would still end up serving three years in prison and paying a then-record $100 million fine.
Boesky had made tens of millions by using insider information to trade stock. Other, lesser-known players in the same network had made nearly as much. No one had even come close to making what junk-bond king Michael Milken was clearing, though; by one count, Milken made $500 million in a single year.
Boyd, by contrast, made nowhere near that money. He was guilty of precisely what he'd told the reporter: He didn't say no to clients, in part because they were such good friends. So when Boesky asked him to "park" a chunk of stock for him and create a phony receipt in order to cover up the transaction, Boyd, of course, obliged.
In Den of Thieves, the preeminent rundown of the entire
insider-trading scheme, James Stewart wrote, "More than any others implicated, Jefferies was pleading guilty to acts that were all too routine on Wall Street." Yet plead guilty he did, to two felonies and an agreement not to work in the securities industry for five years.
For his entire career, Boyd had been characterized by action, sleeping four hours a night, cycling daily through packs of Benson & Hedges 100s, Doublemint gum and Mr. Goodbars, and fielding a never-ending stream of phone calls with clients and bullpen talks with his traders. Yet Boyd spent much of the next two years stationary, sitting in a witness chair, slumped and sullen, explaining the details of what he and his friends had done. The first time Boyd had to testify, one reporter noticed, his face was green and he looked seconds away from being ill.
Worst of all, he was no longer a broker. He would later say that he'd taken the plea in part to protect his employees. There were things some of them had done that, had he fought his case, might've come to light and potentially destroyed the firm he'd built.
A few years before the charges, Boyd's son, Stephen, died in a motorcycle accident. Boyd had started a scholarship in Stephen's name to benefit the sons and daughters of some of the lesser-paid Jefferies & Co. employees.
If all clients were friends, the firm was essentially his family. Now the law required that he, an obsessive, avoid all that obsessed him. So he went looking for something else.
Back in the 1980s, the club was known for the wild High Country Shootout, hosted by Jimmy Buffett (above) and boasting attendees like Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Nicholson and Michael Douglas.
That evolved into an even larger annual event, hosted by Glenn Frey (top) and led by an unlikely suspect: Boyd Jefferies.
To a cynic, what came next would, like the seat-tapping to get his future wife's attention, seem calculated. To those who knew Boyd, it was, as always, more complicated.
"I think Boyd wanted to change his image and do something good in the same stroke," says Sharon now.
The germ of the idea that became America's most scenic driving range happened over dinner in the late 1980s. The Jefferies were hosting two friends, Ernie Fyrwald and Charlie Weaver, at their home at the Vintage Club in Indian Wells, California. Fyrwald and Weaver both called Aspen home. The Jefferies knew them because they'd recently bought a condo there, sold to them by Weaver, and were in the process of moving there full time. Someone, at some point, mentioned the idea of funding a junior golf program.
Aspen Golf Club already had one. Fyrwald was the head pro and ran the thing. It just wasn't what it could be.
The town wasn't nearly as affluent then as it is today. These days, Fyrwald runs the most successful real estate company in Aspen. His clients are some of the richest people in the world, who fly in by private jet and never buy in their own names. Back then, though, he was still a club pro teaching lessons in the summer and running a ski shop in the winter. But he already saw a need to serve those in and around Aspen who didn't have as much.
"Aspen has a huge population of employees living in employee housing," says Fyrwald. "Not everyone up here is rich."
In his first few years before Boyd came along, Fyrwald figures, he had about 40 kids a summer for what was then a pretty spare golf program. Once Boyd got involved, everything changed.
The man who had previously gotten up at 1:30 every morning to gladly face a full day's worth of calls and trades now found himself with an empty schedule. "Boyd had nothing to do," says Fyrwald. So the junior golf program became his new obsession.
First came the scenic range, devoted only to the junior golf program, where Boyd laid the sod by hand, watered and mowed. "He'd go out there at four in the morning and stay all day," says Fyrwald. Then came the donations from some of Boyd's friends, which allowed him and the golf program to start renting school buses.
At its peak, Boyd's program was renting about 14 buses every summer. He would drive one up and down the Roaring Fork Valley himself, picking up any boys and girls in the towns south of Aspen who wanted to participate and returning some 500 of them to the course for weeks every summer to learn a new game—a game that gave Boyd, a man making penance, a purpose.
"To me, there's no better sport [than golf] to teach you the etiquette of life," says Weaver.
Eventually, Boyd, Fyrwald and Weaver realized that what their fledgling junior golf program really needed was a consistent fundraising tool. They settled on a yearly concert.
Aspen Golf Club wasn't unfamiliar with the mix of golf and music. When Boyd first got involved, former Kansas City Chiefs running back Ed Podolak and his good friend Jimmy Buffett were still hosting their end-of-summer High Country Shootout.
"It was probably the wildest golf tournament on the planet," says Weaver.
The High Country Shootout was a visible manifestation of all the ways in which eccentrics and the rich, and those who embodied both characteristics, rubbed elbows and other things in Aspen. Over time, no town, per capita—Monaco included—has hosted nearly as many wealthy, famous and weird people, especially those who became wealthy and famous because they were weird.
Hunter S. Thompson is the patron saint of Aspen weirdness. In the late 1960s he blew into town with $2 to his name and a car full of wooden birdcages he'd for some reason driven with him from San Francisco. Thompson rented a 100-acre farm for $125 a month, ran for sheriff on a platform of arresting anyone selling drugs (but only if they were the kind that didn't work) and in the process let loose a dog whistle for every other wild soul who wanted to live peacefully (relatively speaking) in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
From Thompson followed musicians like John Denver, the Eagles and Buffett, and celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas and Goldie Hawn. Not long after them came the titans of industry, whose names are far less recognizable even as their fortunes are much greater. Each found themselves in a place where they could buy boots and flannels or slip on ski goggles and disappear into the crowd. Each was cosplaying a different sort of life, with all the advantages of their lives in Los Angeles, New York, London or wherever, but almost none of the drawbacks. It's not hard to see why they came.
Aspen changed. When a Vanity Fair reporter met Thompson on his ranch 30 years after he'd moved in, his neighbors no longer lived in trailer homes. One, in fact, owned the largest, most expensive home on the mountain. He was the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S., Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz.
"He's a good neighbor," Thompson said of the prince.
Thompson liked to golf. He was just one of a few characters Weaver says made up the bawdy foursomes in the High Country Shootout. Weaver personally witnessed Thompson accidentally set his grandson's hair on fire in the clubhouse with the errant ash from one of his long-filtered cigarettes. He watched Thompson, paired with 60 Minutes host Ed Bradley, pull a shotgun on course mid-tournament. He was in the crowd when the lead singer of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a swan dive into a trough of beer during the tournament-ending concert. He saw many other things far more hedonistic that he refused to divulge.
The High Country Shootout burned away just as Boyd was preparing for his own charity golf tournament and concert. The transition from one to the other encapsulates Aspen's larger move from eccentricity to the fabulous organizational power of concentrated wealth and Type A personalities.
As such, Boyd's concert was destined to be a little more professional. For the first five years, he, Fyrwald and Weaver convinced Indy 500 winner Danny Sullivan to host. Greg Norman, Davis Love III and other PGA Tour stars followed, as did Kurt Russell and Don Johnson. Boyd's stroke of genius was to make life as easy as possible for the players.
The PGA Tour's International golf tournament had recently begun its run at Castle Pines, just south of Denver. Boyd called in every favor he had for every available plane. He talked to Merv Adelson, then–vice chairman of Time Warner. He called up another friend, the man whose company supplied McDonald's with every one of its billions of ketchup packets. The clients who were friends and the friends who were clients had private jets, and Boyd needed every one he could find to whisk the top players away the Monday after the PGA Championship and deliver them to the International after they had hosted a few clinics and played a few rounds paid for by deep-pocketed donors.
"Everything Boyd did was big," says Fyrwald. And it was about to get bigger.
When Sullivan found himself in the middle of a divorce, the tournament needed a new host. Because it was Aspen, Fyrwald and Weaver, two hardworking but relatively normal guys, didn't have a normal Rolodex. One of them happened to be good friends with Eagles singer Glenn Frey. Suddenly the tournament had a newer, even more famous host. And things got bigger from there.
By the time 1997 rolled around and the golf world had its biggest star in a generation, Boyd and company had decided on a new target: Tiger Woods. So when Frey heard that Woods was starting his own charity concert, Tiger Jam, he agreed to play it if Woods agreed to come to Colorado every summer. Suddenly, what was a golf program where a handful of kids chipped toward each other from opposite ends of a temporarily claimed tennis court became an annual event where the co-founder of Mary Kay cosmetics paid $250,000 to play a round with the world's best golfer.
Boyd had created a monster. The tournament and concert were bringing in millions a year. It cost nearly as much to put on. It couldn't sustain itself.
Soon Frey was spending half his calendar year flying to the charity events of PGA Tour pros to complete the celebrity quid pro quo. He had to quit. The concerts got smaller, but so, too, did the costs. Fyrwald and Weaver, both now successful businessmen in their own right, admit today that even though the glitz and glamour of the event got toned down over the years, the focus never waned. Money got raised. Kids got taught. And the man who needed action at all hours of the day slowly learned to live with less.
At the beginning of his five-year probation, Sharon says, Boyd was almost inconsolable. "His whole life had been taken away," she remembers.
Although he'd grown it into something larger than anyone could have imagined, Aspen junior golf could take only so much of Boyd's time. At some point, he seemed to realize, he needed to stop pushing so hard, stop obsessing. He eventually understood that the firm he'd founded was never going to take him back. He tempered his perfectionism and loosened up enough to reunite with a daughter his relentless energy had managed to push away.
"I've started to sleep in," he joked once. "Some days I now wake up at 5 a.m."
By 2001, Boyd, Fyrwald and Weaver had built something sustainable. That August, Boyd was in a Wendy's drive-thru, about to head into town, when he dropped dead. It was a heart attack. He was 70.
Today, the head pro at Aspen Golf Club is a man named Jim Pratt. When Pratt was a teenager, a line of buses used to arrive every summer at the middle school in working-class Carbondale, down valley, where he grew up. His parents didn't really play the game, but thought their son might enjoy it. Those summers created a passion in Pratt. He went on to play for his high school team, then headed off to college for golf course management. He met his wife there, had kids and returned to the place where the obsession began.
There are other stories. Eri Crum got his start at Aspen junior golf. He got a scholarship to Stanford, played alongside Woods, made captain his senior year and now works as a chiropractor in Boise, Idaho. In his free time he sets world records for speed golf.
And on it goes. Aspen High School, which is not nearly as prestigious or wealthy as it might sound, won a golf state championship for the first time two years ago, in part because many of its players can spend their summers honing their games for next to nothing.
This summer the organizers had to cap the number of kids who could participate at something close to 300. Demand was too high and there simply wasn't enough space to accommodate them all. Parents will pay $280 for nine weeks of instruction and unlimited range balls. Some might not be able to afford even that, which is OK: Weaver and the others tending to Boyd's program have ensured anyone who needs a scholarship gets one.
Obsessives shape the world. And for 35 years now, what Boyd, Fyrwald, Weaver and many others built has gone on to shape, in some form or another, the lives of thousands of kids turned adults.
On a fall day in Aspen, I went to America's most beautiful driving range and hung out with Weaver. We talked about Boyd while my son hit balls as the sun set. We stood there looking back toward the clubhouse and the twin peaks that dominate the skyline. They were nice targets for my son to aim at.
