Moffat County girls start win streak with victory against Gunnison

The Moffat County girls basketball team headed into its winter break on a high note.
After a rousing victory against Olathe on Friday night, the Bulldogs followed it up with a 54-26 win against Gunnison High School on Saturday afternoon. Moffat County (4-3, 3-1 Western Slope League) beat a Cowboys team (0-6) which has had its fair share of struggles.
Head Coach Matt Ray said it was a case of the Bulldogs being better across the board.
"We were better than them in that game, pretty much everywhere," Ray said. "It was just us getting into the game, then just playing some pretty good defense."
The Bulldogs had to get into the game because they had dealt with a tough day of travel after getting on a bus at 5:45 a.m. to get to Gunnison after playing the previous night. As a result, they didn't look as strong in the first quarter.
At the end of the first frame, the score was 17-14 with Moffat County in the lead. Many of the Cowboys' points came from Jordan Wallin, who finished with 21.
But then Moffat County stepped up its defense and gave up 12 points during the remainder of the game, including winning the second quarter 18-2.
"The first quarter, we had a little hangover," Ray said.
As a result of the big lead at halftime, Moffat County had the luxury of getting all its players on the court during the rout. Even better, every player except one scored a basket, giving a few players their first varsity points of the season.
Kylee Ellgen again led the way for the Bulldogs with 10 points, following up her strong showing vs. Olathe. Leading scorer Lisa Camilletti added nine, and the Bulldogs had eight other players get into the scorebook with six or fewer.
The win put Moffat County's record over .500 for the first time this season, which Ray said was a nice feeling for a team looking to get on a roll and keep it going.
"It's really nice," he said. "Some things went our way, too (elsewhere around the league). Roaring Fork lost to Grand Valley (on Friday) and Olathe (on Saturday). So we're right there on top. That puts us in a really good spot."
The Bulldogs took time off for the holidays but will resume open gyms Friday followed by practices and a scrimmage against Meeker High School to get back into game shape before the season resumes.

There are always alternatives, of course. I've always wondered about using DBA (De Bellis Antiquitatis) or HOTT (Hordes of the Things). I picked them up but ended up never playing them. I heard Michael "Chicago Wiz" talk about it in his podcast (Part 1, Part 2).
Recently, @awinter had some very different recommendations for me: He recommended Morschauser and Gerard De Gre! You'll find them in Jon Peterson's Playing at the World, of course.
Morschauser's Ancients War Game and Humanizing the Roster System contain material from 1966 and 1967, talking about a "roster system" used to play a wargame and how one might use it to actually run individual soldiers. A very early predecessor to D&D!
I'm not sure what to make of it. I still think I want those recognisable D&D elements in my mass combat rules which is what I liked about Greywulf's Mass Combat Made Easy rules, which I had started using pretty quickly. I just discussed my current iteration yesterday. See 2019-03-28 Mass Combat. I talked about the other systems I've used on this blog back in 2016. See 2016-09-01 Mass Combat.
Worth mentioning also is By this Axe by Chris Koutalik.
Is this not the one I mentioned in the 2016 post? The name is different, though. Back then I wrote: "By this Poleaxe by the Hydra Cooperative for "small-scale battles or skirmishes involving 15-120 combatants on each side"... I'd be interested to hear comparisons!" Have you used it? Do you have a report or some examples on a blog sonewhere that I could check out? I am I nterested, but I want to know more before buying and reading it all.

Countdown to Penicuik BID Ballot
Business plan finalised and ballot papers prepped
The town is two months away from a historical ballot to establish a Business Improvement District.
Last week, council officials met to rubberstamp the proposed business plan put forward by Penicuik First's coordinator Edward Linton-Smith. Now, with approval, the steering group is in the position to print and distribute the ballots and plans to eligible businesses. Business plans are set to reach town centre shops and organisations from as early as this week, before ballot papers are sent out on 14 April. Businesses will then have 42 days to return their completed ballot paper stating whether they are for or against the establishment of a BID.
Edward Linton-Smith said:
Since its inception, the local businesses who formed the Steering Group have truly devoted themselves to ensuring Penicuik First turns the aspirations of the local business community in to a reality. All the projects that it will deliver after a successful ballot are born of common sense, affordability, and most importantly, consultation with businesses and property owners in the town centre
The business plan, compiled over the past six months will detail projects that will be undertaken using a BID levy collected from involved businesses. Such projects are believed to include the upgrading of town centre signage and the creation of a town business directory and website. Further down the line, the levy could be used to implement parking changes or improve shopfronts along the historical High Street.
Whilst many improvements will not come to fruition until after the ballot, the steering group has organised a "taster" of what could be achieved through a successful BID. Possibly starting as early as May, Penicuik's Town Centre will play host to a market. Organised by those behind the popular Peebles market, the event will gather traders from throughout the region allowing the public to sample wares previously unavailable in the town.
After undertaking early polling, the BID coordinator is hopeful of a positive outcome in the forthcoming ballot. Mr Linton-Smith added:
Penicuik's town centre will always be the heart of our community, but it must adapt to survive. Online commerce and retail parks aren't going anywhere, but Penicuik First is ready to fight back. Through a central website, extensive marketing and promotion of the town's businesses, event hosting, and working with existing community groups, Penicuik First will remind Penicuik why our town centre is worth saving. There's no time to sit idly by while shops are replaced by "To Let" signs. Now is the time for town centre businesses to vote for the future of our town. Let's not waste our chance.
The results of the ballot will be announced soon after the 26 May. We will bring you full coverage and analysis of the decision closer to the time.
What do you think? Let us know below or join the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.

Ensure that food is replaced frequently and provided in appropriate feeders. If supplementation is desired, it is recommended to offer supplements at 25% or less of the diet. The choice of supplementation will vary with life stage and animal preference. In general, good quality grass hay and leafy greens are ideal supplemental food items for adult animals. Growing animals may benefit from higher protein found in alfalfa hay. Fruit supplementation should be minimal to avoid excess dietary sugar. Always provide animal with plenty of fresh, clean water. For best results, ensure bag seal is fully closed during storage.
As the largest guinea pig welfare organization in the USA, LA Guinea Pig Rescue serves Los Angeles City, County and surrounding cities. Over 800 guinea pigs were rescued and re-homed in 2016 alone. LAGPR offers rescue, sanctuary and adoption services as well as free wellness checks, nail clips, advice and ongoing support to all guinea pigs and their owners. Guinea pigs are rescued from city shelters and private parties. We rely solely on donations and volunteers to keep going. LAGPR also operates a sanctuary for nonsocial and extra-large South American Cuy guinea pigs currently sold in National pet store chains, that are not suited for life as a pet due to their size, strength and fear of humans. Founder Saskia Chiesa started the organization in 1999 shortly after arriving here from her native Holland. Every Saturday you will find these three at the rescue, it is likely that one of them will be helping you with a health check or adoption!
Diarrhea often occurs as a symptom of a secondary condition, including disease, infection or improper diet, all causing the guinea pig's digestive system to become upset. Whatever the reason, diarrhea needs to be treated promptly, as it can lead to dehydration. Bacterial, viral and parasitic infections can all lead to digestive problems in guinea pigs, and thus diarrhea. A diet consisting of more grains and soluble sugars and little or no fiber can also cause diarrhea in guinea pigs, as it can upset the bacterial population and increase the harmful bacteria inside the animal's digestive system. Other than observing your guinea pig's clinical signs, your veterinarian will confirm a diagnosis of diarrhea by completing a dietary history of the animal and examining its blood and stool samples for infectious organisms.
Not only are they cute, their meek, docile nature can make everyone, grown-ups and children alike, want to pet them, protect them and help them feel that all is right with the world. It can be a wonderful feeling to have pets that look to you to be kept safe. These are inexpensive, sweet-tempered pets that ask for nothing more than a little love. Here are a few more reasons why guinea pigs make wonderful pets. Guinea pigs are typically either free to adopt or cost little at pet stores. If you buy your cavy, you may need to pay a little extra for one of the rarer breeds. Guinea pigs don't all need to look the same, either. You get to choose by body weight, length of fur and color.
Not only does my piggie love it, it's one of the best foods out there. Corn in guinea pig food is just like corn in cat or dog food: a filler with no nutritional value. Though a mixture, it does not have the treat pieces found in other foods. The Bonanza version of LM's dry food is a nice surprise. While I am usually a fan of Vitakraft products, this guinea pig food is a let-down. An alfalfa-based mixture food with high corn content and relatively-low Vitamin C content. A pelleted, timothy-based food with an unfortunate low Vitamin C content. While there are no treats mixed in, my worry is the preservative ethoxyquin, one of the most debated preservatives used in dog foods. A mixture food with tons of alfalfa, low vitamin content, and lots of treats and crunchy bits for your piggie to sift through, this food affords for a picky piggie. Often pet stores will buy various foods in bulk, package them themselves in plastic bags, and sell it. Guinea pig dry food is sometimes labeled as Gerty Guinea Pig. From the long time it sits on the shelf and the air exposure, the vitamin content goes down quickly and the food becomes stale.

Just get cages for your pet with trustworthy flooring. Guinea pigs actually feed very regularly so a frequent supply of hay or other foods is encouraged. Neither cavies or people are prepared to make their individual vitamin C when most mammals do. Like people stripped of vitamin C they will get scurvy which can be deadly to cavies. They want to get their C from fruit like apples or greens like cage, spinach, celery and carrots or a every single day overall health supplement. Cavies do not do effectively with unexpected alterations in diet plan regime and in reality could even cease consuming and starve.

You just can't avoid some of the common health issues of the guinea pigs. These teeth can be filled, but the guinea pig will have to be anesthetized. If a guinea pig has cervical abscess, he will experience discharges from the neck or jaws. If a guinea pig experiences a thick discharge from the nostrils and have watery eyes, he might have a congested nose. If not treated within 2 days from the time the signs shown, a guinea pig may die. Yes, guinea pigs may groom themselves and their companions. Since guinea pigs groom themselves using their incisor teeth, it is common for them to have matter hair. In some instances, guinea pigs may experience swollen lumps on the skin, which may rupture and produce a grayish or white substance. According to studies, both male and female guinea pigs may be at risk for mammary tumors, which are abnormal growths that show up in the hind legs. Guinea pigs may become overweight when given unlimited pellets. These health issues can be prevented if the guinea pig is in a clean environment like a guinea pig cage. Always remember to keep an eye on your guinea pigs to avoid further development of any of these health issues.
If the parasite infection and itchiness are intense enough, guinea pigs can suffer from seizures. More commonly the signs are not so severe to cause seizures but guinea pigs do tend to break their skin while itching and a secondary bacterial infection occurs. These sores often occur from overweight guinea pigs or vitamin C deficient pigs housed on inappropriate bedding. Strong smelling wood shavings contain oils that predispose guinea pigs to respiratory disease. Guinea pigs should never be housed with rabbits for a number of reasons, one of which is that rabbits can carry Bordetella and not show signs of illness. Please see our care sheets for guinea pig diet suggestions and healthy guinea pig veggie sheet for a discussion of appropriate foods for your pig. Guinea pigs have teeth that grow throughout their lifetime. In guinea pigs, normally aligned molars act to wear each other down during the act of chewing. The best way for your guinea pig to wear his back teeth down is with his food, as the chew toys or wood blocks only will come in contact with the front incisors and not the back teeth where the most common problems arise. A guinea pig requires fresh pellets made specifically for guinea pigs. In our experience here at Chicago Exotics, we commonly see older guinea pigs with advanced heart disease. Guinea pigs can get ear infections that affect either the outer portion, the middle canal or the inner portion of the ear.

Dr. Kenneth Welle, an exotic pet veterinarian at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana, has advice on housing and feeding your guinea pig. A guinea pig cage should have a solid floor covered in bedding rather than a wire-bottom cage, which can cause problems if the guinea pig catches its toes on the wire. If you use a cage with a wire floor, be sure to provide another surface where the guinea pig can relieve its feet. Cleanliness is very important for good guinea pig health. Legume hays may be appropriate for growing guinea pigs or pregnant ones, but not for adult guinea pigs. Dr. Welle recommended limiting pellets by weight: 1 tablespoon pellets per pound of guinea pig. Young, growing guinea pigs can have unlimited access to pelleted guinea pig food. If you do want to get your guinea pig a salt lick, the colored salt-and-mineral ones are better than the plain white ones, which have no added minerals. Salt licks can also help with getting your guinea pig to drink more water, if that is a concern. Guinea pig digestive systems are designed for grass diets, which are high in fiber and low in carbohydrates. If your guinea pig has been on such a diet, switch to a plain pellet and hay diet gradually. So what can you give your guinea pig for a treat? Think dark, leafy green vegetables, such as collard greens, parsley, and dandelion.
There are over 40 different breeds of guinea pig recognised by the British Cavy Council and these include many different colours, coat types and coat lengths so there is definitely a guinea pig to suit everyone. Guinea pigs live on average for 4-8 years and owning them is very rewarding, but it is also a big responsibility and commitment in terms of care and finances, so please think about this before you buy your guinea pigs. Guinea pigs have certainly been around people for a very long time and have played an important role in the culture of many indigenous groups in South America, not only as a food source but also in medicine and in religious ceremonies; statues of guinea pigs that date from around 500 BC to 500 AD have been found in Peru and it is believed some of the ancient Peruvian tribes depicted the guinea pig in their art. The guinea pigs that we now keep as pets are descendants of wild guinea pigs found in the Andes that were introduced to Europe in the 16th century. No one knows exactly where the name Guinea Pig came from, but in the 16th century traders brought guinea pigs over from South America to Europe and it is possible that they stopped at Guiana on their journey, which may have led to people thinking this is where they came from. A nutritious diet of good quality hay, a varied supply of fresh veggies and fruit and small amounts of dry pellet food that is specially designed for guinea pigs should be enough to maintain a healthy intake of Vitamin C. Good sources of vitamin C for Guinea pigs are red and green bell peppers, Parsley, Broccoli and Curly Kale; although there are foods that have higher Vitamin C content than these, such as cabbage, spinach, beetroot greens, oranges, kiwis & grapefruit, these need to be fed sparingly due to high calcium content or acidity. Guinea pigs are 'prey' animals and are genetically programmed to always be on the lookout for and run away from danger, which can mean that it may take a little while for your guinea pig to learn to trust you. Don't pick your guinea pig up if you don't have too, they are so much happier with all four paws on the ground! Instead sit on the floor and encourage your guinea pig onto your lap for strokes and cuddles using food. If you do need to pick up your guinea pig, always do it by placing one hand under the chest and use the other to support their hind quarters – always make sure you have a firm hold of your guinea pig while you are holding them, as falling from a height can injure them. Traditionally Guinea pigs have always been kept in hutches in the garden, however guinea pigs are just as happy when kept indoors. Fleece/Vetbed/Towels – commonly used for indoor guinea pigs This keeps guinea pigs dry and is soft on their feet also. Daily Health Care Bottom – Guinea pigs normally pass faecal pellets as well as the softer caecotrophs which they eat.
Guinea Pig Life Span – One of the most essential aspects that pet owners need to take into consideration is the normal life span of the specie they are going to choose. As far as guinea pig life span is concerned, they are not the same as traditional domesticated type of pets such as dogs and cats. Guinea pig life span may last four around four up to five years or even more while hamsters and mice can only live for a couple of years. Longer life span of guinea pigs manifest longer commitment and responsibility particularly if you really wanted to let your guinea pig lives healthy and happy life. According to School Veterinary Medicine website of University of Pennsylvania, the duration of the guinea pig life span relies on the extent of love and care they are receiving that comes from their owner. Despite of the fact that the average expected guinea pig life span is about five up to seven years, there are still some other breeds and species of this animal which may luckily survived for fourteen years or even more. If you wanted to spend time with your guinea pigs for longer span of time, then you may choose to have a kind of guinea that exceeds normal guinea pig life span. Does the lifespan of guinea pigs depend on their kind – a common question of those people who are not aware of the best type of guinea pigs they are going to choose? Well, the lifespan of a guinea pig doesn't necessarily depend on their kind; it's more on their vulnerability. Despite of the fact that breed is not an essential factor in guinea pig life span, still you need to take it into consideration before you finally choose one. Hairless guinea pig may offer higher average of life span from seven up to eight years when compared to other kinds. Apart from the food, there are also other things you need to consider when it comes to guinea pig life span and that includes some health issues. If there are two guinea pigs in one cage, the death of one will let the surviving one extremely lonely and sad. Bringing inside the cage a New Guinea pig as a replacement will be an essential thing to do but you need to allow the remaining guinea to grieve from their loss.
They bred them as pets and for food and offered them as sacrifices to their gods, according to Sharon Lynn Vanderlip, author of "The Guinea Pig Handbook". No one is really sure where the name Guinea pig came from. The name may come from the price of a Guinea pig in 16th-century England: 1 guinea. According to ADW, there are 13 commonly recognized types or breeds of guinea pig: American, American satin, Abyssinian, Abyssinian satin, Peruvian, Peruvian satin, silkie, silkie satin, teddy, teddy satin, texel, coronet and the white crested. While domesticated Guinea pigs are no longer found in the wild, they do have some cousins, also called Guinea pigs, in South America that live in forests, savannas, mountainous grasslands and bushy areas. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Brazilian Guinea pig is found in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Bolivia, northern Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. The Moleques do Sul Guinea pig is from Moleques Island do Sul, a 25-acre island in Santa Catarina, Brazil. The shiny Guinea pig is found in coastal areas of southeastern Brazil. The greater Guinea pig occurs in southern Brazil and Uruguay. The Montane Guinea pig ranges from northwestern Argentina and northern Chile to Peru. Typically, domesticated Guinea pigs eat processed pellets made from alfalfa hay or timothy hay and vitamins and minerals that Guinea pigs need to be healthy. Genus: Cavia Species: Cavia aperea; Cavia fulgida; Cavia intermedia; Cavia magna; Cavia porcellus(domesticated Guinea pig); Cavia tschudii.

Film production coming to Shelburne in spring
KATHY JOHNSON TRI-COUNTY VANGUARD kathy.johnson @saltwire.com
Excitement is building as word spreads that a major film production is coming to Shelburne in the spring. Washington Black, an award-winning novel by Canadian author Esi Edugyan, is being made into a ninepart mini-series. The search has already begun for accommodations to house up to 150 crew from performers to boom operators. Local municipal units have been sharing word of the production. "Disney+ Canada Productions is looking to be filming in the Shelburne area for four to five weeks sometime between March 1 and May 20 of 2022. At peak, they are anticipating up to 150 crew. As such, they need to source out as many accommodations in the area so as to maximize revenues for local citizens and businesses," reads a letter, in part, posted by the Town of Lockeport on its Facebook page. Otherwise the crew will have to travel to and from the area from outside the county. "It's a joint effort," says Shelburne Mayor Harold Locke, with Lockeport and the Municipality of Shelburne, along with the Town of Shelburne, putting out feelers for accommodations in the area. The Town of Shelburne has been working with the production company since last summer, says the mayor. "We've had numerous meetings since last summer. First of all, it was just a scout. Then different parts of the group came down over the summer and fall. Last time was the big production crew with most of the producers," he says. Mayor Locke says town staff have played a big role in bringing the production to Shelburne. "I have to give the town staff credit for doing what they did. They went above and beyond to make this happen. I'm very pleased that it is happening. "We've had at least five visits from different aspects of the company. They were quite impressed with the whole situation." Shelburne's historic waterfront is the main drawing card for the production company. "That's the area where they showed the most interest in, by the old mill building and sailing academy," said Mayor Locke. "It's the historical background of the town that has put us in a position to host and have them come here. We are quite pleased. Keeping the waterfront up to standard has helped out before and it's helping out again." The mayor says there is a lot of excitement for those who know that something is happening. He expects that to build when the filming begins, hopefully sometime in late March or early April. Pat Chute, who operates the historic Cooper's Inn on the Shelburne waterfront along with her husband David, says they have already submitted an accommodation application form to the town and have been in communication with town staff. "We usually get some business from film productions in the area. The last big one was The Book of Negroes. We had the leads here as well as some behind the scenes people," says Chute. "With Moby Dick, we had some cast members, including Donald Sutherland. All have been great experiences." ''It's wonderfully refreshing to have the opportunity to showcase our amazing town and county," adds Chute. "Shelburne is truly a gem in Nova Scotia's historic landscape and we're thankful for the foresight and diligence of those folks that were able to broker this with Disney Films. It's heartwarming having Disney discover and recognize how special Shelburne is. May it open the doors of a new era." Others in the community who have past experiences working with film productions are also working behind the scenes. Sam Brannen, director of the Barrington Museum Complex, says she has been working with the set director about possibly using some artifacts and or locations in the museum complex. She has also given the community a heads up that Hennessey Casting will be handling the background casting for the series. "It will be a big economic boost," says Mayor Locke. "Extras, hospitality, restaurants, accommodations, supplies, it will be a big benefit to the town and the surrounding areas will benefit immensely as well." ABOUT WASHINGTON BLACK Washington Black was published in 2018 and is the third novel by Canadian author Esi Edugyan. The story follows the early life of George Washington "Wash" Black, chronicling his escape from slavery and his subsequent adventures. "From the blistering cane fields of Barbados to the icy plains of the Canadian Arctic, from the mud-drowned streets of London to the eerie deserts of Morocco, Washington Black teems with all the strangeness of life. This inventive, electrifying novel asks, What is Freedom? And can a life salvaged from the ashes ever be made whole?" reads an online review.

Mormon Pioneers: The Swarthout Family
Truman Swarthout
Truman Swarthout remains somewhat of a mystery. Even though local history recorded that he and brother Nathan were part of the Mormon Battalion, there is no record of Truman being with the Mormon Battalion. Local history further recorded that Truman Swarthout homesteaded near present day Wrightwood. The truth was, Truman came to California as the part of the Daniel Spencer Company wagon group, and did not homestead the Lone Pine Canyon (present day Clyde Ranch near Wrightwood, California), but continued on to present day San Bernardino, where he owned a cattle ranch in the San Bernardino Valley.
Assigned to Company A, under the command of Captain Jefferson Hunt, was a private Hamilton Swarthout. Assigned to Company D, under the command of Captain Nelson Higgins, was private Nathan Swarthout.
Truman Swarthout, along with others, lived in the Fort San Bernardino/ Mormon Stockade for almost a year. Even though Truman Swarthout was listed on San Bernardino property assessment rolls in 1857, at Rancho San Bernardino, there was no other record of Truman in San Bernardino after that. It is speculated that Truman Swarthout returned to Utah with the rest of the Saints. In 1864, he lived in Provo, Utah.

Alhambra Towers | Are we headed for another Miami condo bubble?
This time around, we're not on our way to another Miami condo bubble…at least not yet.
What we're experiencing right now in South Florida is more akin to an awkward teenager with a growth spurt. The future is bright, however, on the condo development growth chart. The condo market is maturing along with Miami in becoming a World Class city with more luxury living options than ever before imagined.
The current condo development expansion is legitimate because it is being funded by cash -not debt- from bonafide buyers and investors – many condo units being sold before construction even begins. The investment equity coming into Miami for new condo development is in the form of non-refundable deposits up to 50% of the purchase price.
It's good for the buyers because they know they are getting good value by investing in a stable condo development market that is not going to be overbuilt. Overbuilt markets, such as what we experienced with the last Miami condo bubble, results in price and value reductions. Here's how: If speculators are allowed to come into the market with only 10% down and can borrow 90% in mortgage loans, then the market is at risk of a bubble that can burst, resulting in a dreaded price drop!
It's good for the Miami developers because it reduces their risk, because they know they have all or most of their condo units sold before construction begins. It also reduces the construction debt and cost because most of the construction cost is paid from the buyer's deposits.
It's good for the construction lenders because it reduces their risk when they make a smaller loan against a project with so much equity invested. Lenders get sound prudent loans that get paid back.
It's good for the marketplace because novice Miami condo developers who cannot pre-sell their units will likely never get the equity or debt financing to proceed with construction of a building, which is then likely to remain empty and unsold. This stops foolish development.
What could turn this development expansion into a Miami condo bubble of overbuilding? A bubble could be created that can burst if banks start lending on buildings that do not have substantial pre-sales. Even worse, a bubble could inflate if banks lend money to developers who have no presales, or to speculators who don't have the cash to make the payments on their mortgage loans. This will encourage overbuilding and a glut of condos on the market – which is exactly what happened in the last cycle.
We are in a good place right now of prudent balance in the condo development market. A Miami condo bubble is not on the horizon.


(Yachats, Oregon) – The central Oregon coast village of Yachats will again be host to the third annual Agate Festival on Saturday, January 18 and Sunday, January 19, bringing a bevy of bobbles from the sand along with many, many rock hounds - and a nice dose of local geology.. (Photo above: courtesy Laura Joki).
The Yachats area is actually known internationally for its agate hunting possibilities, and winter is the ideal time for combing the beaches for agates and other treasures. Without fail, the season's storms and high winds cause sand to move off the beaches, exposing rocks not seen at other times of the year.
Event coordinators want to encourage people to visit the coast during the off season, when the pace is a little slower and nature viewing is at its best.
Featured speaker this year is William Orr, emeritus professor of geology at the University of Oregon and director of the Condon collection at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History at the University.
Dr. Orr and his wife Elizabeth recently revised an edition of their famed handbook, Oregon Geology, incorporating recent research, addressing current environmental problems and detailing tectonic hazards. The updated edition will be released soon.
Returning for the third year will be Lori Robertson, director of Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, who will speak about items of interest to beachcombers and rock hounds on Saturday morning at 11 a.m.
On both days there will be a silent auction, offering a variety of artwork, rocky treasures, and special products and services from vendors and local merchants.
Organizers say this third time around for the festival is meant to be a family-oriented and hands on event. Any proceeds from the festival will be donated to the View the Future Project, a locally-based nonprofit organization that has been conserving land for scenic views, wildlife, environmental health, and recreation since 2004.
The event is free and goes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. It takes place at the Yachats Commons. For more information call the Yachats Chamber at 800-929-0477.

2021 BECE begins tomorrow
A total number of 571, 894 candidates will sit for this year's Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) from tomorrow, Monday, November 15, 2021 to Friday November 19, 2021 at 2,158 centres nationwide.
A total of 531,707 and 517,332 candidates sat for the examination in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, Head of Public Affairs, West African Examinations Council's National Office, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said
the Council had put in place stringent security measures to prevent leakages in this year's examinations.
She said officials of the National Intelligence Bureau monitored the production process – printing, sorting and packaging of the papers- and confident that there would be no leakages of the papers before and during the exams.
"The Council has also increased the number of depots storing confidential materials under strict surveillance to ensure that the papers did not leak before and during the examinations," she said.
Mrs Teye-Cudjoe said all COVID-19 safety protocols would be observed during the examination, stressing that all candidates would be given hand sanitisers and that "should a candidate fall sick and a medical report is available, a committee will look into the situation and take a decision."
A statement signed by Mrs Cassandra Twum Ampofo, the Head of Public Relations, Ghana Education Service, commended teachers, school heads, parents, and other stakeholders for preparing the candidates for the examination.
The statement entreated all stakeholders to desist from any form of examination malpractice.
It said details of the selection process for the Senior High School would be communicated in due course and wished all candidates success and good luck.
Meanwhile, Mr Kofi Asare, Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, an Education Policy Research and Advocacy Organisation, said there were no enough assurances from WAEC that this year's BECE would be leakage-free.
He said per historical antecedents in WAEC related examinations, he could only hope that the examining body would put its house in order to prevent the "scare of what took place in this year's West African Senior School Certificate Examination."
Mr Peter Korda, Head of Public Relations, Ghana National Association of Teachers, said they expected the BECE results to be better this year despite long COVID-19 break.
He said teachers did their best to catch up with the curriculum after the 10-month break in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"COVID-19 pushed teachers to go the extra mile to adequately prepare students for the examinations through extra classes and online teaching and assignments," he said.
He advised the candidates to adhere to rules and instructions of the exams.

Deputy-General-Secretary-of-the-Trades-Union-Congress-TUC-Joshua-Ansah
After several attempts to reach an agreement with government over an increment in their base pay, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) is expected to meet government on Wednesday to finalise a deal.
But before that meeting gets underway, the Trades Union Congress is warning that it will not accept government's projections in the 2023 Budget.
The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, reading the 2023 Budget in Parliament projected compensation of employees at GH¢44,990 million (5.6% of GDP).
Earlier, government also proposed a 12% salary increment during the last negotiation with Organised Labour but it was turned down.
Speaking on JoyNews' PM Express on Tuesday, Deputy General Secretary of TUC, Joshua Ansah stated that they would not agree to the projected figure.
According to Mr Ansah, government must expect a fight if they turn up at the meeting with the same proposal.
JoyNews/AdomNews · TUC to reject government's salary projection in 2023 Budget
"There is no way Organised Labour is also going to accept what has been put in the budget. Well, if the government has made up its mind that it is the way it thinks that he can actually force down the throat of workers, then we are in for a big fight, because there is no way government can pay anything below what we are expecting," he said.
He noted that Organised Labour will not compromise on their demand for 60% increment in their base pay.
Meanwhile, the President of the Ghana Medical Association, Dr. Justice Yankson says government has created a problem by not reaching an agreement with the labour unions earlier.
JoyNews/AdomNews · Dr Yankson on organised labour and government's negotiations
He believes the current mess could have been prevented.
"These are some of the problems that sometimes we create for ourselves. We had a whole period in which we could have sorted these things, we waited to the last end. Now we can see that we are on a collition course, it is clear," he said.

A Wenchi High Court has thrown out a petition against New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislator in the Techiman South 2020 election.
The petitioner was seeking the nullification of the poll which saw the NPP candidate, Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah, emerge victorious.
But at the hearing Wednesday, the court explained that the NDC 2020 Parliamentary candidate, Christopher Bayere, who was pursuing the matter, failed to prove the burden of petitioning.
The court was attended by some leaders of the NDC including General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.
Wenchi High Court throws out petition against NPP MP's 2020 election victory
He was sighted leaving the court premises a few minutes before the judgement.
The NDC Parliamentary candidate had contested the EC's verdict which gave the NPP's candidate victory with 49,682 votes representing 50.2 percent of the total valid votes cast, whilst the NDC's candidate had 49,205 votes representing 49.8 percent of the total valid votes cast.
The NDC Parliamentary candidate insisted that the figures were not a true reflection of the election.
According to him, per the pink sheets of the NDC agents at each of the 267 polling stations, he garnered 50,306 votes in the Parliamentary election whilst the 1st Respondent polled 50,013 votes.
Electoral Commission fined in 2021
In August 2021, the Electoral Commission of Ghana was fined GH¢4,000 by the court after the Court refused to grant the EC's request for a stay of proceedings in the dispute on July 30, 2021.
The EC's application for a stay of proceedings was to enable it to file a motion to challenge the ruling of the Court at its previous sitting, when it granted the petitioner a motion to amend the title of the writ.
TCounsel for the EC, Emmanuel Addae said the stay of proceedings was to enable him to file supplementary statements in support of the application filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Mr Christopher Beyere Baasongti.
However, reacting to the EC's stay of proceedings, the Counsel for the petitioner, Justin Teriwajah argued that the motion was frivolous and unnecessarily geared towards delaying the adjudication of the case.
It was the much-needed win for Ghanaians who were largely sitting on tenterhooks for the final quarter of the game.
And from the reactions, after the South Koreans netted a quickfire double between the 58th and 61st minutes, something had to definitely happen.
Kudus rose to the occasion, found himself at the end of a Gideon Mensah cross and curled the ball past the goalkeeper to restore Ghana's lead and eventually sealed the game for Black Stars.
Asamoah Gyan's run, Bagbin's dance and Black Stars fans' clean-up as fans celebrate S. Korea win in style
The 68th-minute winner triggered a thunderous celebration across the country and on social media.
Despite late attempts from the Koreans, the game ended 3-2 with Ghana earning a vital win in Group H.
Alban Bagbin
The jubilation started right from Ghana's legislative arm where the Speaker, Alban Bagbin was caught on camera dancing to one of the goals on the day from his office.
The ecstatic Speaker punched the air while clad in his Black Star jersey in the company of other officials of the House.
Asamoah Gyan runs
Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan was on punditry duty at SuperSports TV.
However, the ethics of being on a live set could not suppress his excitement when the deciding goal was scored.
Filled with elation, the former skipper run out of the set in jubilation shouting atop his voice.
His iconic goal celebration was his response when asked about his reaction to some moments of the game.
Fans in clean-up mode
Now, supporters of Japan's national team have been earning praise in Qatar for their zeal toward cleanliness after each game.
This win seems to have presented Ghanaian fans with the opportunity to emulate this off-pitch tradition.
While many celebrated the win at full-time, other fans were seen moving boxes around to collect the waste left by their colleagues.

Note to mods: please don't move this thread.
There is a new podcast series out called Uncovering the Civil War. The host is someone I had not heard of before, but some of the guests are well-known. I have not listened to all the podcasts but the one featuring ERIC FONER was good.
I have only listened to the Foner interview, so I don't yet have an opinion. He does have a good guest list though.
Thanks for posting Pat, always looking for new stuff!
As I mentioned, I have only listened to the Reconstruction episode so far. It is an interview with ERIC Foner. Foner is quite good in it. The host is a little clunky in his style and his questions include mistakes of fact. I don't know if this is a general problem for the host or if Reconstruction is less familiar to him than other topics.
I do give him points for having two Reconstruction episodes in the podcast's first season.
This episode is great. It is Greg Downs, the author of After Appomattox, speaking about the Union occupation of the South after the surrender of Lee. A lot here on early Reconstruction and the Andrew Johnson presidency.
Thanks Pat, for another great resource about our Civil War.
thanks for the post, I will enjoy listening to these podcast, the war is fascinating to me.
Here is a cool episode. The host inteviews three Navy staff on the salvaging of the CSS Georgia.
I thought the episode with Foner was excellent. I am listening to the episode about weaponry with guest Jim Burgess from Manassas NP, very informative.
I tried to listen to a wrap up show and stopped listening. I find the audio a bit scratchy and I'm not sold on the host.
This podcast is great--but then Foner's talks usually are!
If you are interested in the development of American Protestantism, you should listen to Ronald White discuss The Second Great Awakening. The time before the war was the High Water Mark of American Protestantism, and White is a knowledgeable discussant.
This episode covers Rutherford B. Hays. It is not up to the standards of the others, but still decent.
Christopher Hager discusses how to read Civil War letters.
PODCAST A Podcast? Sure, that's a good idea!

How do I Treat my Treatment?
By Michael Halperin
Question: I have completed my screenplay, but I never wrote a treatment. I met a producer who wants to see a treatment only. Some people say a treatment should be three pages long, some say 12. Any advice?
Michael Halperin, author of 'Writing the Killer Treatment,' responds:
Before starting out on a treatment based on a completed screenplay, you have to ask questions. Does the producer actually want a treatment, or does he want a synopsis of the screenplay? Some producers continue to confuse one with the other. Writers go off and write their treatments and deliver them. Producers wonder how come they have a document, instead of a paragraph.
Assuming this producer understands the difference, you have to determine how long your treatment will run. There is no firm answer. Some treatments run a few pages while others run almost as long as the screenplay itself. A good rule of thumb is 'the shorter the better,' considering that most producers are incredibly busy and might be more receptive to a concise treatment
It's much harder to write a short treatment because you need to express all the feelings, emotions, direction of the story, sense of characters and their relationships in a foreshortened manner.
Outline the beats of the screenplay to give yourself a guide before writing the treatment. Once you have the beats winnowed down to the basics, develop the treatment.
Begin with the story line (the so-called TV Guide-line) that encapsulates your story within one or two exciting sentences. For example, if I wrote the story line for Tolstoy's gigantic tome 'Anna Karenina,' it would read: 'A woman forced into a loveless marriage has a child, falls desperately in love with another man she cannot marry and commits suicide by throwing herself under the wheels of a train.'
Start your treatment with the inciting incident and the protagonist's reaction/relation to it. Write with active verbs and try to avoid inactive verbs (any form of 'to be'). The treatment should hold the reader's interest and move the producer through it very fast. Avoid detail that gets in the way of telling the story. The less written, the less there exists for anyone to shoot it down.
Treatments express story, action, character and plot points. Therefore, almost every paragraph should propel all four of those elements toward a dynamic conclusion.
It may take several rewrites before you're satisfied with the treatment. Hone it; polish it until it bounces off the page with confidence. Never be satisfied with a treatment or a screenplay that's good. It must be the absolute best work you can do in this highly competitive field.

Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) is leading preservation efforts in Kentucky to address the complexities of preserving the estimated 50,000 units of at-risk affordable housing. Every at-risk unit translates to an at-risk family. In a statewide pooled transaction, Greystone worked closely with KHC, USDA RHS, and Kentucky State Office to coordinate and secure financing needed to acquire and rehabilitate 563 units of at-risk housing.
Greystone Affordable Housing Initiatives LLC, a leading provider of affordable housing recapitalization and rehabilitation services, announced the closing of a $64.4 million multifamily housing transaction in Kentucky. This transaction Includes Goal to Improve Energy Efficiency by 30% for Half of the Portfolio by Participating in Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company's Home Energy Analysis Program. The 18 aged USDA Rural Development Section 515 properties, comprising 563 apartment homes serving low-income households in 14 counties across the state, are owned and operated by Winterwood, Inc.
In the statewide pooled transaction, Greystone's affordable housing preservation group worked closely with USDA's Rural Housing Service (RHS) National Office and Kentucky State Office as well as KHC to coordinate and secure the financing needed to acquire and rehabilitate this at-risk and much-needed housing. In addition to the recapitalization, Greystone arranged for 253 units in the portfolio to utilize energy incentives and rebates with the Home Energy Analysis and Home Energy Rebates programs available through Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company. The project's goal is to achieve an energy efficiency improvement of more than 30 percent by the conclusion of construction. Eligibility factors include the installation of ENERGY STAR certified appliances; HVAC split systems of 14.5 SEER; high-efficiency replacement windows; and air sealing.
All properties in the portfolio, ranging from 12 to 60 units, leveraged the Multifamily Preservation and Revitalization Program through USDA.

A superb 149 from Indian captain Virat Kohli rescued his side at Birmingham after England seemed set to take control on the second day of the first Test.
India were 182 for eight in reply to England's 287, only for Kohli to impose himself less than 24 hours after he mocked Joe Root with a mic-drop celebration on running him out.
Kohli survived two dropped catches by Dawid Malan to bring up his first Test hundred in this country and lift the tourists to 274. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin then bowled Alastair Cook for a duck shortly before stumps to leave the game on a knife-edge, with England just 22 in front.
England, though, know they should already be out of sight in a game that has ebbed and flowed several times in the first two days.
Malan dropped Kohli on 21 at second slip off Jimmy Anderson, then again on 51 off Ben Stokes – a tougher chance as he dived to his right. Had the first chance been held, India would have been 100 for six, and almost certainly down and out.
Curran would have been county team-mates with Kohli in July had the Indian captain not pulled out of a month-long arrangement with Surrey because of a neck injury - but instead of learning about his qualities in the Oval nets, Curran had to watch them as a Test-match opponent as Kohli set about putting right a dismal record in England.
'It was a eye-opener for me watching the way he bats, and how precise you've got to be with your lengths,' said Curran. 'He did nick a lot of balls outside off stump that didn't carry, so we stuck to our plans.
'Personally, it was a special day with the ball, taking a few early wickets. I can't really remember it, because it was so unreal standing in the field with my heroes – guys like Jimmy, Broady and Stokesy.
Meanwhile, Jos Buttler will be fit to bat in England's second innings after undergoing an X-ray on his left middle finger after he injured it in the field trying to catch Kohli.

El  Estadio Mario Losinno es un estadio de fútbol, ubicado entre las calles Justa Lima de Atucha y Sáenz Peña, en Zárate, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Allí hace de local el Club Atlético Defensores Unidos. Fue inaugurado en el año 1942 con una capacidad para 7000 espectadores.

A unos pocos metros del estadio se encuentra el complejo polideportivo del club, donde se practican diversos deportes.

Historia

Aunque la institución nació en el año 1914, no tuvo un estadio hasta 1932, que estaría ubicado inicialmente a la vera de la calle Lavalle entre Pellegrini y Bernardo de Irigoyen.

El estadio sería reemplazado en 1942 por el actual y en el antiguo recinto se construiría la Sede Social que pertenece hasta día de hoy al club.

Desde el 8 de diciembre de 2019 el estadio lleva el nombre de Mario Losinno en honor a un expresidente de la institución, quien fue responsable de la gestión que permitió la afiliación del club a la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino.

Remodelaciones
En el año 2012, el club comenzó la construcción de una tribuna de cemento sobre la calle Justa Lima, denominada Centenario que reemplaza a la antigua de tablones, la cual quedó inaugurada el 10 de junio de 2015.

Copa Libertadores de América, czyli Puchar Wyzwolicieli Ameryki – międzynarodowe rozgrywki klubowe pomiędzy najlepszymi klubami piłkarskimi Ameryki Południowej. Rozgrywki odbywają się co roku.

Format
Rozgrywki miały różne formaty na przestrzeni lat. Pierwotnie tylko mistrzowie poszczególnych krajów Ameryki Południowej mogli uczestniczyć w turnieju. W 1966 dopuszczono również wicemistrzów. W 1998 roku zaproszone zostały zespoły z Meksyku, które regularnie brały udział w czempionacie od roku 2000 do 2016, kiedy nastąpiło jego powiększenie z 20 do 32 zespołów. Obecnie w rozgrywkach występują co najmniej po cztery zespoły z danego kraju, przy czym Argentyna może wystawić sześć klubów, a Brazylia siedem.

Obecny format zakłada również trzy rundy eliminacyjne, grane od lutego do marca. W pierwszej rundzie bierze udział 6 zespołów, w drugiej 16 i w trzeciej 8, które podzielone są na pary, które to rywalizują w formie dwumeczu. Zwycięzcy trzeciej rundy oraz pozostałych 26 uczestników uczestniczą w fazie grupowej, w której to zespoły podzielone są na osiem grup. Zwycięzcy każdej grupy, a także drużyny, które zajęły w nich drugie miejsce grają następnie w fazie pucharowej, granej na tej samej zasadzie, która panuje w Lidze Mistrzów. Od 2019 finał rozgrywany jest w formie jednego meczu na neutralnym terenie, natomiast wcześniej był rozgrywany w formie dwumecze. Zwycięzca Copa Libertadores otrzymuje szansę gry w dwóch turniejach: Klubowych Mistrzostwach Świata oraz Recopa Sudamericana.

Is Tari calling for an illegal meeting?
In typical progressive politics, Tari Renner wants to beat the Council into voting on the Welcoming Ordinance. Nothing is posted yet on the City website, but somehow the Pantagraph knows this meeting is going to take place on Monday. Yes, more proof the media prints what they are told to print!
Supporters of illegal immigration want the Council to declare laws don't matter. They want open borders without consequences. They don't care if the illegals are gang members, terrorists, drug runners, or child traffickers. Without ICE America is flooded with them!
Any ordinance protecting people here illegally is a slap in the face to people who legally immigrated here.
I'm hearing the new ordinance version is so watered down it does nothing, but these people will declare a victory if the Council is foolish enough to pass it. Facts don't matter, they just want submission.
You are looking at the reason civility can not exist in Bloomington-Normal. When laws and those who enforce it aren't granted respect, the conversation ended before it began.
It is illegal to hold a meeting in a room that does not allow everybody who wants to attend to attend. According to the rag, 350 people attended when it was at the BCPA. 350 won't fit in the Council Chambers.
If you are sick of progressives beating up elected officials to get what they want, show up. You don't have to speak. The only thing needed to stop this nonsense is enough bodies to keep the meeting from happening.
We just celebrated Independence from Great Britain. Many fought and died for your freedom. It is your duty to preserve it for future generations. Show up Monday at 5:30!
Posted in BloNo, Bloomington, BLOOMINGTON CITY COUNCIL, elections, Liberal Media, Local, Progressives, Renner.Tagged welcoming ordinance.
Funny how progressives extoll the virtues of inclusiveness/togetherness yet their strategy is to intimidate government leaders, no doubt threating to call them racists if they disagree, speak loudly over any other voices/opinions, and using messages and branding of violence like a fist for a logo. These are the types of groups that are beginning to control more and more of the Bloomington-Normal community.
It will continue if the majority stays home!
Well they definitely pick a good name for thier sick little group misfits, after all that appears to be what they are trying to do to the law abiding people of the city of Bloomington.
Do these people support human trafficking? Cause there is alot of that going on at the southern border due to the mass migration. Nefarious people make big money off this situation. As always, follow the money. If the borders were patroled and enforced like they should be, there would be much less explotation of those people. Legal immigration is so much a better way than attempted mob rule. The Sonny Garcias of the world are foolish pawns of the extreme wealthy. So ignorant. So sad.
The hysteria, hyperbole and threats of violence that spew from these groups generates more fear in the community than any threat of ICE showing up in Bloomington. They intimidate then claim to be victims.
I'm sick of their behavior.
Not to people who govern based on feelings instead of laws.
This kind of ordinance is about as effective as declaring a community a gun sanctuary.
A gun ordinance defends the second amendment. An ordinance protecting people not here legally does what? What part of the LAW does it defend? Feelings?
Rich, I have to agree that this ordinance is totally ineffective and is not worth the paper it is written on nor the Staff time used to formulate it.
Meanwhile he potholes get deeper, the streets get worse, garbage piles up and people get killed. OUR COUNCIL AND MAYOR ARE AS USLESS AS TEATS on a boar!
No wonder Diana is leaving! Maybe she is the ONLY one who has a brain and Tari appointed her. WHAT does that tell you??
Why is it if this was a Tea Party protest it would be all patriotic and legal? If it's citizens outraged and protesting its government tearing away children from their parents, it's illegal and should be stopped. Everyone, coming here legally and illegally are are ensured rights of due process, enshrined by the 14th Amendment, from the Constitution. You know that document that you think your supporting. You know, all that patriotic gobbledygook you wax poetic about on the 4th of July. The day after, you want all protest that you don't agree with stopped. I guess if it's about, you, it's important, if it's about some powerless refugee, let's throw them in cages and deny them their rights.The Trump administration despite its Executive Order and the legal order from a federal court, are still holding over 3,000 young children from their parents.
ICE was at the center of this debacle. They were so incompetent that they did not keep any records as they were cruelly separating parents from children even babies. What department in its depravity tells young children that their parents don't love them? What department laughs at young toddlers crying for their parents? ICE does. Why is it that you can call for all kinds of departments to disband, but a department that's clearly abusing its power is sacrosanct? Those coming here illegally and legally through the southern boarder have rights, rights that have been grievously taken away from them. Apparently being Christian and being a human being doesn't cross anyone's mind that this is morally wrong.
When the history of this is written, this will be a dark mark on this country's reputation. For shame.
@ Cents & Common sense,,,then you support human trafficking? Do you also support the immense exploitation of these people or are you so filled with disdain for those you disagree with you that you conveinently ignore the reality of the situation? Do you support the conditions of how some of these people arrive such as stuffed in the back of a box truck with no outside area in 100 degree heat? I suppose you also support the treck through the desert of which many of the elderly and children don't even make it here. I guess you think that it's all a pleasant trip to get here (illegally). And the smullglers of human capital,,,yes I said human capital cuase that's how they view these people. How much money do you think it costs to be smuggled in? Oh, you thought it was free? Lol.
Perhaps when the parents make the decision to bring their own kids across the border illegally they should be realizing that it is they that are taking the chance that their family will be split up and that they should bear responsibility for their actions. instead blame it on somebody else. Blame it on the folks that are against the illegal framework and USE THE CHILDREN, exploit the children and play the victim. Hey, I'm real sick of this victim card stuff for people that do this to escape the accountability for their own actions. Sick of it. And sick of idiots like you even more.
We have more legal citizens, legal children in this country than ever before living at poverty level or below. Have you forgotten about those children? You don't mention them. You don't mention the children of Yemen or Palestine. How about abortion? What's your stand on that?
Now you go and blame Trump for what Obama did for 8 years! Whatever! Now you go and blame the Tea Party for what Obama did for 8 years. Hey people are waking up! Red wave in November. Might as well just WalkAway from the demon-rat party like the ones who still hve a little sense left.
I support legal immigration. And as far as being Christian is concerned, let's teach a man to fish so he can feed himself for life. If you are so holier than thou, then please start with Hilliary and Obama and ask them to donate 1/2 of their wealth to help these pour souls.
@Cents—Your comments are misdirected. The immigration laws currently being enforced were in place long before Trump was elected. It is the Executive branch's duty to secure our nation's borders.
National politics have no place mingled in local politics. There are no children being snatched from their parents in Bloomington except the young black youth dying from gun violence. There are no illegal immigrants living in Bloomington being deported or detained. The local advocates should be petitioning the Federal government for immigration reform. A local "welcoming ordinance" does nothing to help with immigration reform.
The worst part is that those demanding a "welcoming ordinance" are threatening violence if they don't get their way. No one on this blog has ever threatened violence. No one on this blog has ever celebrated the fact children being separated from their parents. Unfortunately, that policy was made during the Obama administration. Additionally, the blame for the separation ultimately falls on the parents who brought their children here illegally.
