This has been another good year! It is sweet to have friends from all over the globe who walk with me in this handweaver's journey. Thank you for joining me here. We examine the meaning of life together, along with exploring the technical details of making cloth. I appreciate you, friend!
Thanks to my talented videographer son-in-law, Eddie, you now have a video that brings you into my weaving studio for a visit.
Camera, lights, filming equipment, the works! After filming many clips of weaving in action and views of yarn and threads, Eddie interviewed me with pertinent questions. He compiled and edited the best shots, and added music, to create a short video describing Warped for Good.
This welcome video is now at the top of the Warped for Good About page.
May your friendships blossom throughout the coming year.
Nancy, you sound knowledgeable! I am happy you enjoyed the video. Eddie gets all the credit.
I appreciate you and Eddie for creating this visual aid to articulating the value of hand weaving. Slow is something we need exposure to, particularly in our current culture.
Thank you for your thoughts! Yes, slow and quiet is a treasure when our culture is screaming busy.
Loved your video! It's nice to see who we are getting messages from. I am a pretty new weaver and have used lots of videos when I come to a new technique that I don't know how to do.
Your floor loom is beautiful by the way I started on a ridged heddle and bought a used loom and I am really enjoying it.
It's really nice to hear from readers, too. It's great to get to know you!
I will always appreciate the rigid heddle loom and the years of weaving pleasure I gained from that. I think it's a great way to step into the world of weaving.
I have been considering making some short tutorial videos in the coming year. Let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like to see.
Karen, I loved "visiting" with you in your studio. I too agree that the slowness of weaving gives us space to be ourselves and permission to listen to our inner self. I send you warm wishes for a very happy New Year that is full of weaving time.
It's good to hear from you, Martha!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful sentiments and your well wishes. A year full of weaving time – what could be better?
What a pretty video, thank you for letting me follow your weaving life.
Grethe, it's a joy to have you coming along with me.
Great and wonderful video. Thank you for letting me "visit" you in your studio!
Thank you for coming in, Helga. It's a pleasure to "visit" with you!
Gretchen, thanks for your encouraging words. "Capturing the essence of weaving" is something I hoped we could accomplish!
It will be good to see you again soon!
Beautifully done! He did a fabulous job.
I'm so glad you like it, Anne!
Do you ever feel like you are just not making progress? Stopping bad habits and starting good ones can feel like that. Or, what about that craft project you meant to finish before Thanksgiving? The loom is one place where progress is visible. You can't fool yourself; the cloth beam shows you how far you have progressed. I find it encouraging to see the fabric that has been woven. What starts with an idea shows up as cloth.
It all started with an idea and eleven colors of wool.
As we settle into the very end of this year, we know that time keeps rolling on. The warp keeps advancing. This is a great time to look at the cloth beam of our life and see the progress. Like this blanket, much has been accomplished, but there's more work ahead before it is time to cut it from the loom.
Bottom layer is spread on the loom.
Upper layer is spread on the loom; and the two layers are combined on the back tie-on bar. Two sets of lease sticks keep all the ends in order.
Beaming on two warps at once. After removing the choke ties, I beamed on with the warping trapeze, slowly and carefully. I stopped every few inches to check everything, to make sure nothing was getting hung up anywhere.
Sampling helps determine weft colors, as well as checking the sett and weft density.
Sample is cut off and warp ends are tied in bundles, ready to re-tie to front tie-on bar.
Sample piece, after wet finishing, air drying, and brushing.
Fringe, twisted on the loom, goes over the breast beam as the body of the blanket is being woven.
Progress is revealed. The beginning blanket fringe has reached the cloth beam! The fold edge of the blanket is in view.
Dusk dims the colors, yet enriches them at the same time.
Glad-hearted Christmas to all! The camel is this year's new figure in the hand-carved Nativity by Steve Isenhower. Bound rosepath provides the backdrop.
May you enjoy reflecting on the progress you have made this year.
Merry Christmas! The colors in the blanket are lovely. As I reflect on progress made this year, I find that I am thankful for your weekly posts. Thanks so much for being a part of my progress in 2014. Blessings to you and yours in 2015!
Merry Christmas to you, Deb!
I feel very honored to be included in what has been meaningful to you in 2014! Looking forward to the coming year with you.
I am in awe of the nativity set your husband is carving, it is marvelous, as is your blanket !!
Geri, thanks for your compliments! Steve is carving 5 Nativity pieces each year – his mother, our daughter, our two daughters-in-law, and me. Five camels this year. We are very blessed by his giving nature and his skill.
I'm glad you like the colors! I am using Borgs 6/2 Tuna Wool that I purchased from Vavstuga.com. You can also get it from GlimakraUSA.com.
I am using metric measurements for this project, and my sett is 6 ends per centimeter on each layer (12 ends altogether), using a metric 30/10 dent reed. That's about 15 epi American on each layer (30 ends altogether).
Warp width 77cm (30 1/4 inches).
I enjoy your questions and comments!
The fold is sleyed half, with 2 ends/dent. After I throw the shuttle, I insert my index finger between the outer warps to make sure the weft doesn't pull in on the fold side.
I always warp back to front – I am very comfortable with the process; it has served me well. Warping with a trapeze is something I learned from Becky Ashenden at Vavstuga. It is a way of stretching out the warp over a high cross bar and weighting the warp as it is being beamed; it provides for very even tensioning during the process.
I have only woven on countermarche and counterbalance looms. I haven't woven on jack looms at all (except for one time at a weaving workshop).
I don't have a double back beam, and have never seen one in use; but I understand what it is for, and think it would be useful for some projects.
I have 8 shafts for my 47″ countermarche, but I remove the extra shafts when they are not in use. I only need four shafts (harnesses) for this blanket project, so the other shafts are put away in the closet.
Why the stretcher (temple)? That is my favorite way to keep the weaving from drawing in, giving me consistent selvedges. It seems like a common tool among people who weave according to Swedish traditions.
With my Swedish looms, I enjoy learning the Swedish traditions in weaving techniques. It's my goal to learn as much of that as possible. Joanne Hall and Becky Ashenden have been great helps to me in that endeavor.
Becky is one of my favorite people, too. It's fun to find out your connection with her. Yes, she did learn in Sweden.
Linda, I appreciate all your kind encouragement!
I don't know Mikala Sidor. She sounds like someone I need to find more about.
Olá, I wonder how it weaves rosepath , threading, treadling you could help me , I'm not here in Brazil too much information , I can use a loom 4treadles.
I need to have something like the drawdown Rosepath.
thank you sincerely love your work and hope that one day I can be as good at weaving like you.
Thank you for your kind words! I will send you an email with more information about weaving rosepath.
In your 9th picture on this page I see fringes already twisted while on the loom. Do you tie on like this?
Hi Tamara, Thank you for asking!
Have you tried twisting fringe on the loom? I haven't done it before now. You will find out with me how well this works, because I will show it to you when the blanket is woven and cut from the loom. A doubled warp thread runs through the fringe lineup, holding the twists in place. It is an amusing sight to see these yarn "toy soldiers" all lined up in color order. I know this should work. I know a lot of things; but my knowledge isn't always as important as I think it is.
Upper and lower layers of a double-width blanket are seen in the twisted fringes. Care was taken to not weave the two layers together accidentally.
More important than what you know is who knows you. Everyone longs to be known. We want someone to know we are not just one of many in a lineup of nameless toy soldiers. God knows those who love him. He satisfies our desire to be known. And that reminds me that I really don't know everything.
May you successfully try something new.
This is a simple way to make a rag weave table runner. The M's and O's weave structure provides a great framework. What I like about narrow fabric strips is that you can wind them on quills, just like yarn, and weave with a boat shuttle. It is fast weaving that breezes right along.
Boat shuttle holds quill with narrow fabric strips to weave table runner. In view below the table runner are pot holders that were woven using unbleached cotton multi-strand yarn.
I could use a small ski shuttle for this, as if I were weaving rag rugs. Or, I could even place the weft across by hand on this narrow-width warp. The most efficient way is the boat shuttle, and the main thing is to get the weft across so weaving can happen. In life and relationships, it is love that needs to get across.
Patience and kindness are universal expressions of love. Love never fails. It started with the patience and kindness of God. As we draw toward Christmas, consider the meaning of the holiday–that God so loved the world. His patience and kindness toward humanity meant sending His son to our world. And that baby, named Jesus, became God's way of taking love across the gap between heaven and earth.
May you be known for patience and kindness.
Linda, I feel very honored by your gracious comment, especially considering your vast experience. I'm glad you like this M's and O's version. Thank you!
Your fabric strips look so neat and even…can you describe how you cut the fabric strips?
Most of my fabric is in five yard lengths. I fold the fabric on my cutting table, so I am cutting through several layers, to cut along the lengthwise grain. I use a large-blade rotary cutter and a cutting mat, and an acrylic cutting guide ruler, to cut the fabric into 3/4″ strips. I taper the ends of the strips for overlapping in the shed.

The Madonie National Park: Discover the Sicilian Heritage
Kevin Eagan - Apr 26, 2010
The most important actions carried out by the Madonie Park body in the last few years have concerned territorial animation through activities of enjoyment, information, training and environmental education devoted to the Geopark. These are activities that all Geoparks in the European network constantly valorize and celebrate every year, between the last ten days of May and the first ten of June, during the "Geoparks Week", the European Week of Geoparks, that should stimulate and promote use and enjoyment of the geological heritage for the benefit of the resident population. The fundamental merit of this activity lies in the wise connection between the geological, natural and cultural heritage that allows people to enjoy the "genius loci" or "spirit of the place" of every context or site offered for visit.
All information and suggestions for open-air exploration of the Park can be found in the Madonie Geological Museum established in collaboration with the commune of Petralia Sottana and connected to the A. Collisani Archaeological Museum. The Madonie Geopark Museum safeguards the memory of our land and tells the story of migrating continents, seas that advance and dry up, and rocks that still creak and crumble in the sun, reminding us that everything moves and changes.
Since October 2004, together with the first geological path of the Madonie Park and the Sicily of the "Battaglietta-Portella Colla Pothole" inaugurated during the 5th European Congress of Geoparks, the museum has constantly been visited by school groups, university students, associations, visitors and tourists of all ages that have appreciated its teaching model and interactive innovation.
Encouraged by the increasing geo-tourism flows, the Madonie Geopark Museum was subsequently implemented to focus on the genesis of rock-salt, which is exceptionally concentrated in the active Petralia Soprana mine and in the nearby abandoned mines along the upper River Salso. The latter, not yet open to the public, but already projected for the evaluation of the geological heritage of the territory, await initiatives and shared policies aiming at geo-tourism enjoyment that so many people call for.
For the first time and in harmony with the principles laid down by the EGN Statute, the "Stones and water pathway", a set of three paths, brings together the cultural and archaeological elements closely connected to the geological vicissitudes. This is the case of the Castellana Sicula archaeological area, inside which the building to be used as a museum has already been restructured and completed. Here, as in so many other archaeological sites in the Madonie, the close relationship between archaeology and geology shines through what has also emerged in recent excavations of other extremely interesting sites.
Other recently developed activities typical of a European geopark include school programmes, permanent and itinerant exhibitions and guided tours, also in the surrounding towns and villages. For instance, going along the Urban Geological Path at Petralia Sottana or at Sclafani Bagni it is possible to discover and read, among pages and pages of geo-diversity of rocks used by man, the biodiversity of the past and events in the territory that fascinate not only geologists.
The "Water Museum" Permanent Education Centre at Scillato reminds us that water is an irreplaceable source of life, a heritage of humanity and an inalienable and universal right. The path along the Tiberio Gorges at San Mauro Castelverde reminds us of what all waters on Earth should be like and not only those in protected areas.
The geological section of the Caltavuturo Civic Museum, another information and training point in the Madonie Geopark, has various panels illustrating the geological paths and the geo-sites in the Park, a model reproducing the village and the rock that looms over it, and a permanent exhibition of the most representative rocks. Together with the "Rocca di Sciara" path, it enriches the geo-tourist offer.
From everything that has been enacted and animated to assess the geological, natural and cultural heritage for the purposes of environmental education and sustainable local development, the commune of Isnello too is a protagonist of animation of elevated scientific contents to promote initiatives serving for knowledge and popularization of the astronomic sciences that proceed starting from its own geological substratum, "Towards the Astronomic Park of the Madonie." This is a true Astronomic Park financed by CIPE, to be created atop Monte Mufara distant from light pollution and connected to the teaching and popularization structure already identified in the urban context of the village.
Through the fascination of geological culture connected to projects for education to sustainability, convinced auto-involvement of the local administrations and bodies responsible for the development of the territory, we have taken under our aegis resources and potentialities of our identity and our places founded on rocks that emanate culture.

10 Essential Things Travelers Need to Know about Sicily

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


On behalf of USG and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos, I would like to deliver the following statement.
As Syria enters its fifth year of conflict, violence and brutality continue unabated and with total impunity. The indiscriminate use of explosive weapons in populated areas, by all parties, claimed more lives this month and displaced thousands. Government aerial bombardments, including the use of barrel bombs, and attacks by armed opposition groups have intensified in many areas - including Aleppo, Dar'a and Rural Damascus.
The parties to the conflict continue to kill civilians and target civilians and civilian infrastructure, including vital public services such as water and electricity, in blatant disregard of resolution 2139, and international humanitarian law, condemning people to further unnecessary suffering. Over 2 million people in Aleppo and Dar'a Governorates have been affected by willful denial of water and electricity by parties to the conflict this month.
Of the 212,000 people who are besieged, in conditions that deteriorate every day, only 304 were reached with food in January. Those 304 were in Yarmouk, where 18,000 people are in desperate need.
In the other besieged locations, the parties continued to restrict access severely. The requests mentioned in our previous statement to the council, to deliver assistance to people in East Ghouta, were denied by the government. Nor could we deliver to the towns of Nubul or Zahra, besieged by opposition forces since May last year.
In Raqqa and Deir ez Zor, ISIL has closed down the offices of several organisations, including the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, a key implementing partner. Some 600,000 people have not received food assistance in these governorates since last December.
The sick or wounded often have nowhere safe to get treatment. According to Physicians for Human Rights, there were four attacks on medical facilities in January and five medical staff were killed. On 23 February, a car bomb reportedly killed at least four civilians in the parking area of a hospital in Al-Qardaha, Latakia governorate.
There are continued challenges to the provision of medical supplies, in particular surgical items. However, in one development, WHO succeeded in sending life-saving medicine and medical supplies this week from Damascus to hospitals and public health centers in the eastern part of Aleppo city and rural Aleppo, for approximately 60,500 medical treatments.
At the same time, WHO surgical items, UNICEF midwifery and diarrhea kits, and UNFPA reproductive health kits were removed by government security personnel from an interagency convoy travelling to al-Wa'er in Homs governorate. This follows a previous refusal to allow medical supplies into Al Wa'er in November.
Every month we report on the same violations. The numbers change, but the pattern remains the same. The parties to the conflict continue to act with impunity: killing and abducting civilians; denying access; removing vital supplies from convoys. This pattern must be broken.
Specifically, the sieges that currently affect 212,000 people must be lifted. We must ensure that everyone, in all parts of Syria, has access to medical supplies, including surgical supplies. The use of blockades of humanitarian aid, and of basic services including water and electricity, must stop. As must the indiscriminate attacks on civilians, including through barrel bombs, which have come to characterize this conflict.
This Council must do everything in its power to hold the parties accountable and achieve these vital changes. Resolution 2139 is extensive in its scope and the Council's concerns and recommendations, as set out in that resolution, must be respected.
Humanitarian organisations operating from within Syria and from neighbouring countries continue to reach millions of people in need month after month. Last month, some 3.4 million people were reached with food assistance while hundreds of thousands were also reached with medicines, household items and other supplies. Cross border shipments by the United Nations and partners have increased since resolution 2165. They have now reached some 950,000 people with food, 880,000 with critical household items, 340,000 with water and sanitation, and nearly 470,000 with medical supplies.
This complements and is in addition to the existing programmes of Non-Governmental Organisations that again reached over one million people last month.
But it is not enough. More effort must be made to deescalate the violence, protect people and enable humanitarian organisations to give more support.
Staffan De Mistura to secure a freeze in fighting in some parts of Aleppo.
In hopes that the freeze will materialize, humanitarian agencies have developed plans to scale up aid deliveries throughout eastern Aleppo City.
Our plans include the provision of emergency food and other supplies, and the rehabilitation of basic services including electricity and waste management, removal of debris, getting children back into school, and repairing and renovating damaged homes.
Humanitarian agencies are already delivering assistance in Aleppo but much more needs to be done. The UN will make use of any additional opportunities, including through the freeze, to expand humanitarian access.
However, we are extremely concerned that two OCHA staff, doing essential work with opposition parties on the ground to secure access for the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian supplies, have been asked to leave the country without any reason given. This will hinder our work tremendously. We call upon the Government of Syria to reverse its decision so that we are able to continue our life saving work for all Syrians in need.
In addition to the many operational constraints we face, including insecurity and interference by the parties to the conflict, our response cannot keep up with the needs of Syria's people because we don't have enough funding.
By the end of last year, the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan for 2014 was just 48 per cent funded. We cannot afford the dire consequences of failing to meet those needs.
We can do more, if we have more money to do so.
Lack of funding has already forced WFP to reduce food rations by 30 per cent. In the longer term, if we don't receive what we need, we will only be able to provide food to the extremely vulnerable.
For every $1 million WHO cannot raise in Syria, some 227,000 people lose vital health services. And unless urgent funding is received before May 2015, a million children who are outof-school will not be able to access alternative education options. Malnutrition programs for up to 1 million children will have to be halted or reduced.
The humanitarian community has come together to bring all operations in Syria – cross line and cross border – under one single response plan for 2015. This will enable better identification of needs to enable a more effective response. But in order for it to work, we need the resources.
Kuwait has generously agreed to host a third pledging conference for Syrians in need on 31st March. We need high-level representation at that conference, and meaningful pledges that will make a difference on the ground.
We look to the members of this Council to show leadership to end the barbaric and brutal warfare in Syria. We are running out of words to describe the terrible human and humanitarian consequences.


Elders play an important part in the Friendship Centre movement. They educate the young on the ways of the past thus ensuring that traditions and culture are not lost.

41st Annual BC Elders Gathering, Campbell River, July, 2017.
"Keep the balance, know your culture but take your place in society as well."
Andy George of Smithers was Canadian war veteran and a man with a long involvement in the Dze L Kan't Friendship Centre. He became active with the Centre out of a desire to "do something constructive" especially in the area of education.
Andy was particularly concerned that young people finish school, take advantage of apprenticeship programs and try to break down the educational barriers holding Aboriginal people back. He supported youth in getting ahead and combatting discrimination but he also reminded the youth to remember where they came from.
Supporting Indigenous youth and providing mentorship has long been a focus of BC Friendship Centres. When interviewed in 1984 Harriet Janvier from Fort St. John's Keeginaw Friendship Centre reflected on when the Centre set up a Peer Counselling course to assist young people on the verge of giving up on the educational system. Harriet Janvier and the local home/school coordinator were trying to reach potential dropouts and help them stay in school.
In order to build strong Aboriginal leaders in their community for the future, efforts were made to boost the morale and self-confidence of young people. Harriet pinpointed discrimination in the schools and insecure feelings about being Aboriginal as barriers to growth and self-esteem at the time.
"Many had trouble expressing themselves and relating to other youngsters in school." Through counselling and interaction with Elders, she hoped a clear message would inspire youth.
"A child was told that to have friendship is the most precious thing you will carry for the rest of your life. To have no friends is like a little piece of wood drifting in the water. When the water goes out it goes out with it, when the water comes in it comes back in with it. You are floating alone forever.
Ellen White (left) and Carol Marshall (rigth) were long time supporters of Tillicum Friendship Centre in Nanaimo.
George was elected as the President of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC) for nine consecutive years. In 1989, George became involved at a provincial level as the first Vice-President of the BCAAFC. After his terms as first vice-president, the BCAAFC Executive Committee invited George to become a member of the BCAAFC Elders Council.
George is a member and former Chief of the Kwagiulth Nation in Alert Bay. George was involved with the Friendship Centre Movement for over 30 years. He began as a board member of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC) and stayed involved because of the help being offered to urban Aboriginal people. George stated that was when he knew he gave his heart to the Movement.
Inspired by his own personal struggles as a young man, George understood the importance of providing positive support to Indigenous youth, particularly those with addictions. George volunteered his time to mentor those youth at the Tsow-Tun Le Lum Substance Abuse Treatment Centre for many years as well as sitting on the board. To this day, he and his wife Ruth continue to mentor Indigenous Youth, when able, at both the University of Victoria and Camosun College. George and Ruth have been married for over fifty years. Ruth, also entrenched in the Friendship Centre movement, sat as the BCAAFC Provincial Aboriginal Youth Council (PAYC) Elder for many years July 2012, George was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to honor his accomplishments and exceptional service. George has always believed that you need to be of service to your People and to your community, and says "a leader walks with their people". George has the gift of listening and observing before making comments or giving advice, and when he speaks his voice is honored and respected.
When asked what his vision of the future for Friendship Centres, George replied "Those of us living in urban centers will continue to walk forward with the vision of attaining self-sufficiency…this is a goal that all Friendship Centres should attain…We must continue to welcome our brothers and sisters moving into the urban communities. For myself, it is to continue to volunteer for the Movement as long as my knowledge and time permit.
George (turning 88 in July) officially retired from the BCAAFC Elders Council in 2015 were he was honoured and blanketed by the BC Friendship Centre Movement for his generous contributions of wisdom and advice over the years. When asked what his vision of the future for Friendship Centres, George replied: "Those of us living in urban centers will continue to walk forward with the vision of attaining self-sufficiency…this is a goal that all Friendship Centres should attain…We must continue to welcome our brothers and sisters moving into the urban communities. For myself, it is to continue to volunteer for the Movement as long as my knowledge and time permit.
At 87, Buzz has been contributing to the well-being of Indigenous People in BC for more than fifty years and directly involved with the founding or boards of over 15 organizations. The majority of his work has been through volunteerism to provide effective, alternative resources for the betterment of the socio-economic situation of Indigenous people.
BCAAFC Elder Council member Basil 'Buzz' Morissette is one of the founding members of the Friendship Centre Movement in BC as well as a founding member of the Native Courtworker Program, the first and vital bridge over the gulf between the justice system and Indigenous people. Buzz is also a dedicated Board member of the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society as well as a lifetime member of the National Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres (NAFC).
He has shown his ability to work with virtually everyone to accomplish his goals, and has become a role model for many young people who consider him a mentor and trusted friend. He is deeply dedicated to Indigenous Youth and co-hosts with the BCAAFC Elder Council a most beloved workshop every year at BCAAFC Gathering our Voices Youth Conference called "Elders Don't Bite". Buzz is also passionately committed and outspoken about Ending Violence against Indigenous Women and Girls Buzz is a visionary who finds the means to make those visions reality. His personal reward for his hours of community service is in seeing the strengthening of Indigenous people and in knowing that implementing one of his concepts has made a difference with at least one individual.
Buzz received the Order of BC in 1996 for his years of service and dedication of improving the opportunities in both employment and education for Indigenous people but also addressing the many systemic barriers harming Indigenous People.

Webinar: Life Sciences - Digital Health in the EU
Wednesday 21st September 2022 | 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Aug 17, 2022 published
On Wednesday 21 September we held our Annual Life Sciences Conference looking at Digital Health in the EU.
Digital Health technology is only just beginning to demonstrate its true potential in terms of offering personalized health care, better diagnosis, and greater quality of treatment to citizens across the world. The EU has been a good example of this exciting growth, with the European Digital Health market expected to approach a value of approximately €46 billion by the end of 2022. Meanwhile, the merging of health-related services and technology can create new challenges and issues requiring careful management, and the EU regulatory landscape continues to evolve in order to keep up with the rapid pace of innovation in this space.

UGA grant will fund marijuana research
By: Tim Bryant
Published: October 09 2019 4:58 AM
The University of Georgia is getting $3.5 million from the National Institutes of Health: UGA researchers will use the grant to study legal cannabis products and their effectiveness in providing pain relief.
From Caroline Paczkowski, UGA Media Relations…
To date, 34 states and the District of Columbia have adopted medical cannabis laws, or MCLs, which legalize either home cultivation or dispensary-based sales of cannabis for qualifying medical conditions.
The researchers want to determine if MCLs alter the health behaviors of people living with chronic pain and whether they substitute or reduce traditional pain treatments while using medical cannabis.
The research project is funded by a $3.5 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a branch of the National Institutes of Health.
David Bradford (pictured above), George D. Busbee Chair in Public Policy in UGA's School of Public and International Affairs, is joined by co-investigators Amanda Abraham, associate professor in SPIA, and Grace Bagwell Adams, assistant professor in the College of Public Health.
"We are thrilled to get started on this work," said Adams. "Much of the policy change has happened quickly in a landscape that is not well understood at the patient level. This work is going to contribute to our understanding about the intersectionality of medical cannabis policy and the behavior of chronic pain patients."
"Researchers have been able to document reductions in aggregate prescription use, especially opioids, after states implement MCLs," Bradford said. "But there is almost no research on how a large representative sample of individual patients respond to medical cannabis access. Do we see lots of patients reducing opioid use, or just a few patients reducing by a lot? What happens to other kinds of health care use, like emergency room visits or physician office visits? We don't know, and we're excited to find out."
The research will also break new ground for states like Georgia that have implemented access to low-THC/high-CBD cannabis extracts.
"So far, no one has examined whether these cannabis extract laws change health care use. We'll be the first to systematically evaluate that, and hopefully can give Georgia and other policymakers some idea of what to expect as we continue to roll this policy out in the state," Bradford said.
They will work with the Research Data Assistance Center (RESDac) at the University of Minnesota to get access to several years' worth of data on 5 million Medicare and 5 million Medicaid enrollees' complete medical claims history. This will include all inpatient, outpatient and prescription drug use, as well as some information about socioeconomic status.
The researchers will also get comparable information on privately insured individuals from the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI) database that contains more than a decade's worth of data on approximately 50 million individuals. For all three types of individuals – Medicare, Medicaid and HCCI/private insured – they will follow the same people over time and see how their pain management health care decisions change as they gain access to medical cannabis via changes in state laws.
"Drs. Bradford, Abraham and Adams have well-established expertise in evaluating economic and health outcomes related to medical marijuana," said Matthew Auer, dean of the School of Public and International Affairs. "Considering the growing list of states and municipalities that are giving the green light to medical uses for cannabis, their new NIH project could not be more timely."
ACCPD needs help identifying burglary suspects
The Athens-Clarke County Police Department is hoping the public can help identify two males suspected of breaking into multiple commercial businesses. From the ACCPD: ACCPD detectives are requesting the public's assistance in identifying two male suspects responsible for committing a series of commercial burglaries in the area. Detectives believe the suspects use a pry bar on a rear door to gain access to the business. The suspects steal cash and other items. The burglaries have occurred in strip malls, small businesses, auto shops, and restaurants during the overnight hours. Detectives ask that anyone with information about the burglaries or the identity of the suspects to contact Det. Paul Davidson – (762) 400-7099 or Paul.Davidson@accgov.com. Additionally, a Crime Stopper's reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information leading to the identity of the suspects. Call the Crime Stoppers Tip line at 706-705-4775. ACCPD detectives advise local businesses to ensure their alarm or surveillance system is working properly, keep exterior lights on during nighttime hours, secure all windows and doors, and remove cash from the premises.
Police briefs include escaped inmate, fatal crash, counterfeiting arrest
The Stephens County Sheriff's Office was, at last report, still trying to track down an escaped inmate: 24 year-old Calvin McCoy (pictured above) jumped a fence and ran away from the jail in Toccoa. A Maysville man is killed in a crash in Banks County: Steven Baxter was 66 years old. The single-vehicle accident happened south of Homer. The Georgia State Patrol is investigating. A Hall County woman is arrested, accused of trying to use counterfeit cash to buy money orders at a store in Flowery Branch: Jennifer Raby is 33 years old, from Lula.
Sewage spill reported in Gainesville
The Gainesville Department of Water Resources reports what it says is a "minor" sewage spill. The Georgia EPD has been notified. From the Gainesville city government website… The Gainesville Department of Water Resources confirmed today a minor sewer discharge in the area of Foothills Parkway. At approximately 5:05 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, the city was notified of a sewer discharge below 100 Foothills Parkway. City crews responded to the area where they found evidence of a discharge near an open manhole. Investigation into the matter revealed a private party had discovered and removed the blockage, allowing flow to return to normal. City crews learned the blockage was caused by an accumulation of grease, which had resulted in an overflow earlier in the day. It was determined an estimated 1,800 gallons of wastewater spilled within the area, with some residue entering Limestone Creek. City staff removed remnants of the discharge and applied lime to the area. Limestone Creek was assessed and no dead or stressed aquatic life was found. The area was posted as required by the state of Georgia. After cleanup, all conditions returned to normal. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division was notified Wednesday evening.
Cold front to slam door on early spring in Athens, NE Ga

UGA student wins award for home design
There is no technical definition of a tiny house, but the working understanding is a home that is 400 square feet or smaller. So what is a "Kinda Tiny" home? Well, it's a little bit bigger, but not much. The home design that won Athens' first "Kinda Tiny" housing competition was 794 square feet and designed by UGA student Jacqueline Menke, who is currently finishing up a Master of Landscape Architecture at the College of Environment and Design. The contest was the brainchild of Athens Area Habitat for Humanity and Georgia's U.S. Green Building Council, and the home designed by Menke is currently under construction in Athens. The family selected by Habitat will move into the house this spring. The average size of a home in the United States has doubled since the 1960s to 2,600 square feet, but there is a movement underway to embrace smaller, more energy efficient homes. Menke's house will be an example of a greener home, but it's also meant to start a conversation in Athens about zoning codes, said Spencer Frye, executive director of Athens Area Habitat for Humanity. "You aren't allowed to build an actual tiny home in Clarke County," said Frye. "The minimum size for a single-family home is 600 square feet. These size restrictions were put in place in reaction to integration. I don't like the idea of our community still adhering to these codes." That's how the idea to provide a real-life example of the building-code restrictions in Athens came to life. Frye and David Hyde from TimberBilt, an Athens-based sustainable construction company, devised the "Kinda Tiny" home competition, thinking it could act as a test run for green building standards and show the county what could be done with a small home. "We wanted to begin a discussion," said Frye. "If we want to have a real dialogue around home size in Athens-Clarke County, I want us to work from zero and move up and not keep these antiquated codes on the books." The winning design Menke entered the "Kinda Tiny" house contest as part of a class project in UGA professor Alfie Vick's green building class. Because her major is landscape architecture, she had to do a lot of research in order to complete a home design, but she won, in part, because of how seamlessly her plan worked with the site's landscape. "One of things that made her design stand out, after talking to some of the judges, is the fact that her building really specifically relates to the site. She took into account the topography, and I think it was her landscape architecture background that gave her the insight to how the building and the site would interact together," said Vick. Menke said she drove through the neighborhood and past the lot several times and got inspired by the surrounding homes as well as the lot where the home would eventually be built. She noticed all of the other homes were elevated and had ramps. She made hers accessible as well by using a zero entry, which means no steps or other hindrances to entrance. "I also thought of the sun's path and provided afternoon shade with the roof slope, which plays into LEED standards. And I addressed the issue of the slope and runoff with my landscape plan," Menke said. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Menke said LEED standards helped guide her design from the beginning. Menke's design had the sustainability features that the Green Building Council wanted, and the practicality desired by Habitat. "Our homes are built by volunteers so they can't be technically challenging," said Frye. Vick said, "Jacqueline's house was practical, cost effective, buildable and also a really good design." The judges awarded two first place awards, one to Menke and one to a team of professional architects from Atlanta. The homeowners, who had already been selected by Habitat, got to choose the winner, and they picked Menke's design. Frye is hopeful that this conversation starter could lead to more small homes being built in Athens. "Land cost is a major part of the issue here. If we can reduce the lot size and the size of the home, everything will be more affordable," said Frye. "We've already had some great conversations with the mayor and commission about land use and building codes. This home has allowed us to explore both housing size issues and sustainability issues."
Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean: Bulldogs' rebounding effort 'pitiful,' lacking toughness
Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean understands there will be challenges for his young and undersized team this season. But Crean, a two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year and the architect of a Final Four team at Marquette, will not accept the lack of effort witnessed on Saturday night in Starkville. RELATED: How Mississippi State won battle of SEC Bulldogs The 91-59 defeat at Mississippi State was embarrassing on the scoreboard, but also to the most casual of UGA basketball fans that tuned in to the SEC Network on Saturday night. 'The most disheartening thing is we didn't compete on the glass, at all,' Crean said after the game on the Georgia Bulldogs Sports Network, referring to State's 40-22 rebounding advantage. 'Ray Hammonds is the third leading or fourth leading rebounder in the league, his effort was pitiful, as was everybody else's on the glass.,' Crean said. 'That's a toughness issue that we've got to continue to work through. 'I wouldn't even call that a maturity issue, I'd call that a toughness issue.' Freshman Anthony Edwards, who called out himself and his Georgia teammates for a lack of toughness in the second half of a home loss to Kentucky earlier this season, led Georgia with 19 points. But Edwards had his issues getting back on defense and communicating. 'The maturity issue is when it's not going well for us offensively, or we turn it over, we've got to get back on defense,' Crean said. 'So the two biggest keys to the game were rebounding and then transition defense, by far, as they are most games. 'Both of those we failed, and we failed miserably tonight.' Georgia, which scored it's only road SEC win under Crean last year at Florida. returns to action at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Kentucky.

Mississippi State blasts Georgia in battle of SEC Bulldogs, Anthony Edwards struggles
Georgia basketball is going to have to grow up in a hurry if it has any chance of becoming an NCAA tournament team this season. Coach Tom Crean's young squad came apart on the road at Mississippi State on Saturday night, falling 91-59 in a battle of SEC Bulldogs. Crean's concerns about Mississippi State's size and rebounding prowess became a reality. The maroon-and-white clad Bulldogs entered the night as the SEC's top rebounding team. They proceeded to show why, posting a commanding 40-22 advantage on the glass over UGA. 48 of State's 91 points were scored in the paint. Georgia dropped to 11-6 overall and 1-3 in the SEC with the loss, while Coach Ben Howland's team improved to 11-6 and 2-3 in league games. UGA freshman Anthony Edwards got off to a rough start at the so-called 'Hump.' Edwards was held to 3 points in the first half and made only 1 of his first 9 shots. Edwards finished with 19 points on 5-of-16 shooting, including 1-of-8 marksmanship beyond the 3-point line. Georgia, coming off an 80-63 home win over Tennessee, kept things close throughout much of the first half in Starkville. Freshman Toumani Camera scored all 10 of his points in the opening half, including a dunk that made it 32-28. But Mississippi State closed the first half on a 10-3 run to take a 42-31 lead to intermission. Georgia couldn't get any closer than 11 points the remainder of the game. Junior Rayshaun Hammonds, UGA's top interior threat, scored 8 of his 10 points and grabbed 3 of his 4 rebounds in the first half. Hammonds scored just one basket on 1-of-6 shooting and grabbed just one rebound in the 15 minutes he played in the second half. The home team went on a 17-3 run late in the game, stretching the lead out to 30 points with four minutes left. UGA point guard Sahvir Wheeler, who suffered an ankle injury last Wednesday, started and played 21 minutes. Wheeler had 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting, and 1 assist. The Bulldogs return to action at 7 p.m. at Kentucky on Tuesday.

New Georgia OC Todd Monken trades 'total mess' for championship quest
ATHENS Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken has yet to call his first play, but it's safe to say the 53-year-old already knows he's walking into a better situation than a year ago. RELATED: Todd Monken a Statement hire' by Kirby Smart Monken's differences on the Cleveland Browns' staff with first-year coach Freddie Kitchens were well-documented from the onset. Many close to Kitchens have said Monken was not even the head coach's choice for the job. It's no wonder Monken was quoted as referring the Cleveland franchise a 'total mess.' It was an accurate description. Receivers Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry were a handful. The Myles Garrett helmet swing incidentreached epic proportion. Georgia football is anything but a total mess. Monken arrives in Athens knowing he was Kirby Smart's top choice. Smart hasn't announced it, but it's a good bet Monken will assume the playcalling duties. It's something Monken has said before is important to him. RELATED: Why Todd Monken is a proven OC, and the Smart choice The best-case scenario for Georgia and Monken next season is a national championship. At the very least, a fourth-straight trip to the SEC Championship Game. The Georgia defense is that good. Nine of 11 Sugar Bowl starters return. It was a unit that led the nation in scoring defense and run defense, and finished third in the country in total defense and 8h in pass efficiency defense. Smart will be looking for an offense that makes more explosive plays while maintaining a reliable run game. But the bottom line for Smart was and is offensive efficiency and consistency. If Monken's offense can score 24 points in each game next season, it's hard to project the Bulldogs losing a game. That said, Georgia has its share of challenges on offense. Chief among those hurdles are growing an inexperienced receiving corps, and developing and scheming for a new quarterback. Georgia rising sophomore George Pickens is the key to the receiving corps. He's coming off a Sugar Bowl MVP performance, making 12 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown in the Bulldogs' 26-14 win over Baylor. Pickens, however, was hit with two suspensions his freshman campaign. The first involved an unspecified violation of team rules. The second came by NCAA rule after his well-publicized tangle at Georgia Tech. RELATED: Pickens apologizes to team for costly SEC title game suspension Pickens' growth and development as a person and potential leader will factor into Monken's future game plans where skill position players are concerned. Georgia has other receiver options returning and promising incoming freshmen. But none appear to have the game-changing dynamic Pickens presents. Georgia is also green in the backfield. Zamir White enters spring drills battling Kenny McIntosh for first-team reps. Rising junior James Cook and incoming freshman Kendall Milton have breakout talent. To this point, none of the backs have shown the dynamic game-breaking ability departing back D'Andre Swift flashed his first two seasons. It doesn't mean they won't, but expectations should be kept in check, Swift was special. The ultimate challenge, however, is at quarterback. Wake Forest graduate transfer Jamie Newman is considered the favorite to win the job in spring drills. Newman is coming to Georgia to throw more, and the Bulldogs are excited to have a quarterback who can run and scramble effectively. The two sides will meet somewhere in the middle, with Newman gaining experience in an offense that can transition into the NFL. Georgia also has redshirt junior Stetson Bennett, redshirt freshman D'Wan Mathis and incoming freshman Carson Beck in the quarterback room this spring. The final piece for Monken's success is the fit in the offensive meeting room, and the trust and chemistry he builds with Smart. Unlike Cleveland, Monken will be handed the keys, and he'll be surrounded by an all-star staff that includesJames Coley, Matt Luke and run game coordinator Dell McGee. Georgia football, unlike the NFL's Cleveland Browns, doesn't mess around.

Former Georgia football safety Otis Reese announces he's headed for Ole Miss
ATHENS Former Georgia football safety Otis Reese announced on Twitter that he's headed for Ole Miss after entering his name in the NCAA transfer portal two weeks ago. Reese, a 2018 signee, has three years of eligibility remaining. He would have to sit out a season unless granted an NCAA waiver. Reese a 6-foot-3, 210-pounder from Leesburg, Ga., saw action in all 14 games for the No. 4-ranked Bulldogs last season. Most all of Reese's opportunities were on special teams, however, as he finished with just three tackles. It has been a busy offseason of comings and goings by way of transfer for the Bulldogs. Georgia has scored big additions with Wake Forest QB graduate transfer Jamie Newman and Florida State TE grad transfer Tre' Mckitty. Cade Mays has been the biggest departure, shunning a starting spot with the Bulldogs' championship contender to return to his hometown of Knoxville where his father player. RELATED: Cade Mays makes stunning Rocky Top Hop Reese's situation is clearly about playing time and opportunity. Georgia's elite defense was stacked in the secondary last season with Thorpe Award finalist J.R. Reed at one safety position, and rising star Richard LeCounte at the other. Freshman safety Lewis Cine, like Reese a top 100 prospect in high school, won the starting job for the Sugar Bowl when Reed pulled out of bowl preparation with a foot injury. WATCH: Lewis Cine knows his time is coming, putting in the hard work Cine had six tackles in the 26-14 win over Baylor and appeared to be the perfect partner to the playmaking LeCounte. Christopher Smith was also competing for reps at safety during bowl prep New Orleans. Rising sophomore Tyrique Stevenson figures to fit into the mix moving forward. Reese entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal after LeCounte made it public that he planned on returning to the Bulldogs. Reese was ranked the No. 87 player in the nation by the 247Sports composite coming out of Lee County High School. He chose UGA over Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Auburn, among others, per his recruiting profile. Georgia is expected to start offseason conditioning next week with spring drills likely to begin after UGA's spring break. The Bulldogs open next season playing Virginia in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday Sept. 7.

Georgia basketball looks to get over the hump at Mississippi State
ATHENS Georgia coach Tom Crean always talks to his team about 'taking what the game gives you,' but on Saturday night at Mississippi State, UGA might need a different approach. Indeed, Crean's young and undersized team will have to take even when the game isn't giving them any breaks or advantages. Coach Ben Howland's maroon-clad Bulldogs lead the SEC in rebounding margin, the very area Crean's vertically challenged canines are most often challenged to measure up. 'I mean, every game we come in here talking about how important the rebounding is and now we're playing the league leader,' said Georgia coach Tom Crean, who has just two players 6-foot-9 or taller. 'That part of it is tough.' Mississippi State features two starters who are even taller, center Abdul Ado (6-11, 255) and power forward Reggie Perry (6-10, 250). The teams tip off at 8:30 p.m. (TV: SEC Network) at the so-called 'Hump.' Officially known as Humphrey Coliseum, Mississippi State's arena which some say resembles a cake from the outside has a smaller, intimate setting similar to Stegeman Coliseum with a capacity of 10,575. Georgia brings an 11-5 overall mark and 1-2 SEC record into the action. Mississippi State is 10-6 and 1-3 in league play. UGA is looking for what would be its first consecutive league wins under Crean, who is now in his second season. Georgia is also looking to play its way into NCAA tournament contention, and it will likely take a .500 record in league play or better for that to happen. It's Crean's first trip to Starkville, and he may be forced to make it without the playing services of Sahvir Wheeler, who fellow freshman Anthony Edwards refers to as 'the heart of the team.' Wheeler suffered an ankle injury in the second half of Georgia's resounding 80-63 blowout win over Tennessee. Crean made it clear on Friday that Wheeler is questionable, having just managed to walk through the Thursday workout. 'You just have to deal with it, and if he can't it is what it is,' Crean said. 'You just go. Right? That's why you try to develop and try to get multi-dimensional versatile guys. Obviously he's a huge factor.' If Wheeler is out, Georgia will rely more heavily on senior graduate transfer Donnell Gresham along with Edwards at the point. Edwards, named a second-team, mid-season All-American by the Sporting News earlier this week, is averaging 19.1 points per game this season, second in the SEC. Georgia, with its size deficiency, will also need another signature performance from 6-9, 245-pound junior Rayshaun Hammonds. Hammonds is averaging 14.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, and he's coming off a 21-point, 5-rebound in the win over the Vols. Mississippi State represents UGA's fifth-straight game against teams that played in the NCAA tournament last season. The Bulldogs are 2-2 in the past four, winning on the road against then-No. 9 Memphis 65-62 on Jan. 4 and hammering Tennessee in Athens on Wednesday night. The losses were to No. 13 Kentucky (78-69) and then-No. 5 Auburn (82-60). Last year's home loss to Mississippi State featured one of the most bizarre endings in Stegeman Coliseum history. WATCH: Stuffed bulldog triggers decisive technical foul in UGA home loss A small stuffed bulldog toy was thrown on the court in the final moments, resulting in a technical foul that helps swing the game State's way, 68-67.

Brandon, MB – Following weekend deliberations, Brandon City Council has approved the City of Brandon's 2017 municipal budget. The $81.9 million operating budget represents a municipal tax increase of 0.94%, which means a residential property assessed at this year's average of ~$251,000 will see an increase in municipal taxes of approximately $17.
"I'm extremely proud of the work our Council has done during this budget process. Not only did we achieve a tax increase below inflation for the third year in a row, but we were also able to enhance many services, and also accelerated spending on infrastructure in a meaningful way," said Mayor Rick Chrest.
Continuation of last year's $500,000 grant towards Keystone Centre capital upgrades.
An injection of $440,000 towards additional 2017 infrastructure works.
$100,000 of increased funding for Community Centres.
$50,000 for enhanced Canada 150 / Brandon 135 celebrations.
$61,500 for increased funding to the Brandon Urban Aboriginal People's Council.
"I am very pleased with the end result of our 2017 Budget. There were certainly some difficult discussions and challenges throughout the two day process but it all came together," adds City Manager Scott Hildebrand.

Wisconsin facts and history plus travel and tourism information.
Abbreviations: WI (postal), Wis., Wisc.
Wisconsin joined the United States on May 29, 1848 as the 30th state. Cold, snowy winters challenged the early settlers, some of whom burrowed holes into the hillsides, like badgers, for warmth and shelter. In present-day Wisconsin, however, the climate is prized by snowmobilers. Other popular outdoor sports include hunting and fishing.
With thousands of dairy farms, Wisconsin is the leading producer of cheese in the world. In fact, Colby cheese was first made near the town of Colby, Wisconsin. The state is also America's largest cranberry producer and a major paper products manufacturer.
Tourist attractions in Wisconsin include the House on the Rock resort, the historic Circus World Museum, and Taliesin, which embodies the architectural inspiration and designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. The scenic Wisconsin Dells area, which dubs itself "The Waterpark Capital of the World", is a popular vacation destination. Michigan and Lake Superior border Wisconsin to the north, and Lake Michigan draws visitors to Milwaukee and other lakeshore locations.

Home Art Ida B. Wells: Sculpture Honoring Trailblazer Unveiled in Chicago
Ida B. Wells: Sculpture Honoring Trailblazer Unveiled in Chicago
(Chicago – June 30) – The Windy City is buzzing with news a public sculpture of iconic women's rights activist and journalist Ida B. Wells is being unveiled today at 10:30 a.m. CST. The Ida B. Wells Commemorative Art Committee will host a dedication ceremony for the "Light of Truth Ida B. Wells National Monument," on the site of the former Ida B. Wells public housing development which was demolished in 2011. According to Ms. Wells' great granddaughter Michelle Duster, an educator and historian, "the sculpture was 13 years in the making." The impetus to build the monument occurred following the demolition of the Chicago Housing Authority's Ida B. Wells homes, the first community in the city built predominantly for the African American community.
The monument is sculpted by Richard Hunt, 86, perhaps the most significant African-American sculptor in modern history because of his celebrated work in abstract art, lithographs and public sculptures. Hunt has created over 150 public sculptures including Freedmen's Column at Howard University and I Have Been to the Mountain, a memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis, Tennessee, where Dr. King was killed. In 1969, Hunt became the first African-American sculptor to be honored with a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Chicago native, who is also a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, says it is a "dream project. "The Light of Truth Ida B. Wells National Monument" will live in Bronzeville, where Wells worked as an investigative journalist covering racism, segregation, voting rights and other issues of equity.
Born in Holly Springs, MS, Ida B. Wells was an early leader of the civil rights movement and a founder of the Niagra Movement in 1905 which would become the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). An investigative journalist, Wells led an anti-lynching crusade using the Black Press to educate and create awareness about the predatory, hateful, violent and murderous practice including the newspapers she founded:The Memphis Free Speech and Headlight and Free Speech. It was this crusade that actually forced Wells to flee Memphis and head to Chicago after a white mob destroyed Wells' building where she published the Free Speech due to the writer's editorials against the practice of lynching.
The public sculpture of Ida B. Wells is only the second monument or public sculpture to honor an African-American woman in the history of the city of Chicago. The first is a memorial of Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks entitled, "The Oracle of Bronzeville" which also sits in the Bronzeville area of the city.
Watch the herstoric event today at 11:30 a.m. EST/10:30 a.m.CST Live on Facebook.

My Very Own Feast Day
Sometime over 15 years ago, a parishioner friend at my former parish, St. John's, Chico, Anita Psyllos, had visited Greece and returned with a wonderful gift for me: an icon of a saint whom she said was "St. Haraldobus". She'd asked around for one fitting my first name, "Harry". [Parenthetically, I've deferentially have tolerated my name, not particularly liking it, though I was close to my maternal grandfather for whom I was named.] Since at least high school, I simply accepted that "Harry" was a derivative of "Henry", which it is; also of "Harold", which is not my name. When I was ordained, the official papers recorded my name, in Latin, as "Henricus". Though Anita's icon has hung on my wall since then, and though I continued to call him "Haraldobus", some months ago I decided to search online for the feast day corresponding to "Harry".
My online search took me to an entry on Wikipedia for St. Charalampos/Harálampos = χαραλαμπος = joyful light. Another variation is Harálambos, which may be what Anita had originally been told in Greece. Interesting, too, that my last name is "Allagree" = allègre (Fr.), lively, cheerful; alegre (Sp.), joyful, glad. But then, I do recall one of my seminary English instructors, Fr. Francis Kinney, calling me "Happy Harry"! He also nicknamed me "Butterball", but we won't pursue that one! At any rate, the feast of St. Haralampos (c, 89-202) is observed today, February 10.
St. Haralampos seems to have been an early Christian priest or bishop in Magnesia, a region of Thessaly, in the diocese of the same name. He lived during the reign of Septimius Severus (193-211), when Lucian was Proconsul of Magnesia. It is believed that at the time of his martyrdom, Haralampos was 113 years old. Let's hope that I have some of his spiritual genes at least!
Haralampos was at least a priest, possibly the Bishop, at Magnesia, and spread the Gospel in that region for many years. When the acclaim of his preaching reached Lucian, the proconsul in the area, and the military commander, Lucius, Harlampos was arrested and brought to trial, where he confessed his faith in Christ and refused to offer sacrifice to idols. Despite his advanced age, he was tortured mercilessly, his body lacerated with iron hooks, and skin scraped from his body. His only comment to his tormentors was: "Thank you, my brothers, for scraping off the old body and renewing my soul for new and eternal life." Legend has it that, upon witnessing Haralampos' endurance of such tortures, two soldiers, Porphyrius and Baptus, openly confessed faith in Christ, for which they were immediately beheaded. Three women who were also watching the sufferings of Haralampos began to glorify Christ, and were summarily executed as well.
Hagiographers of the saint claim that Lucius, enraged by all this, seized the instruments of torture himself and began to torture Haralampos, only to have his forearms suddenly cut off as if by a sword. The governor Lucian then spat in the face of the saint, and immediately Lucian's head swivelled around, so that he faced backwards! Yes, you can read it all in the acta of Haralampos' martyrdom! A further note says that, surpisingly, Lucian and Lucius both experienced a dramatic conversion. They prayed for mercy, were healed through Haralampos' intercession, and became Christians themselves. Well...who knows?!
But apparently that wasn't the end of it. Even more tortures, according to the legend, were inflicted on St. Haralampos after he was brought before Septimius Severus himself. After being condemned to death and led to the place of execution, Haralampos lifted his arms to heaven and prayed: "Lord, You know that humans are flesh and blood; forgive them their sins and pour out Your blessing on all." Haralampos then gave up his soul to God even before the executioner had laid the sword to his neck. Pretty tough ole codger, at 113! According to tradition Severus' own daughter, Gallina, was also so moved by the death of Haralampos, that she was converted, and saw to it herself that Haralampos was buried.
The skull of St. Haralampos is kept at the Monastery of St. Stephen at Meteora in Greece. Many miracles are traditionally attributed to the fragments of his relics, found in many places throughout Greece and elsewhere. These miracles have made Haralampos, the most aged of all the martyrs, especially dear to the people of Greece.
