The girl with the bright smile had just turned 14 when she left her family in Grassy Narrows First Nation in northwestern Ontario last spring in search of someone — or something — to ease her overwhelming grief.
On April 17, 2016, Azraya was found dead in a wooded area just across the road from Lake of the Woods District Hospital in Kenora, Ont., 90 kilometres south of Grassy Narrows. More than a year later, no one seems to know how she got there.
Azraya's last interactions were with Ontario Provincial Police in Kenora and possibly staff at the hospital, where police say they dropped her off two days earlier. Police and hospital officials refuse to answer questions about what happened that night.
This past April, on the first anniversary of her death, Azraya's parents attended a vigil and wept quietly by the tree where their daughter's body was discovered. Candles flickered in the pink evening light, perfectly reflected in the still lake nearby. Anishinaabe grandmothers sang a traditional mourning song, their drums echoing the rhythm of a heartbeat in the damp spring air.
Azraya's parents, Christa Ackabee and Marlin Kokopenace, had arrived with a small group that marched through the streets of Kenora in the hope that the anniversary would add weight to their call for answers. Some of the people in the group carried homemade signs saying "Justice for Azraya." They slowed traffic, demanding a coroner's inquest.
Solving the mystery of Azraya's death has special urgency for young people in Grassy Narrows, who see her final days as the embodiment of an intergenerational tragedy unique to their community.
In the 1960s and '70s, industrial pollution contaminated the water in Grassy Narrows (Asubpeeschoseewagong) with mercury, making it one of Canada's worst environmental disasters. The contamination in this community of about 1,000 residents has affected three generations.
Ninety per cent of the population in Grassy Narrows experiences symptoms of mercury poisoning, which include neurological problems ranging from numbness in fingers and toes to seizures and cognitive delays, according to a recent study by mercury specialists. Then there's the psychological stress of seeing your friends and family stricken with these problems.
But health services are limited to a small nursing station, and mental health counselling on the reserve is nearly non-existent.
Azraya's friends believe her death was tied to her despair over the loss of her older brother Calvin, who died from mercury poisoning in 2014.
Friends and family believe it was Azraya's quest for help in dealing with her grief that led her to Kenora.
Her death has become an emblem of the social devastation that followed the environmental destruction at Grassy Narrows, leaving many to wonder: If a child's plea for help can go unanswered and the details of her death can remain hidden from her family, what hope is there of healing?
During the 1960s and early '70s, the chemical plant at the Reed Paper mill in Dryden, Ont., which is upstream of Grassy Narrows, dumped 9,000 kilograms of mercury into the English-Wabigoon River. The fish in the river were full of poison, and the people from Grassy Narrows, who relied on the fish as a staple in their diet, were full of it, too.
Once ingested, mercury never goes away. It "bioaccumulates," meaning it passes from one generation to the next, from mother to child, through the placenta.
Sixty-five-year-old Steve Fobister is among the hardest hit by the mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows. A former chief, skilled hunter and devoted advocate for his community, he now has difficulty standing and swallowing. He leans heavily on a walker to shuffle through the tiny bungalow he shares with his daughter and her children. Even talking is a chore. It often requires him to hold his lower jaw with his thumb to reduce the shaking long enough to form words.
The disability board was established in 1986 as part of a court settlement with Ontario and Canada and the two paper companies involved in the contamination. Neither the companies, the governments nor the disability board has ever admitted that anyone at Grassy Narrows has been poisoned — only that some people experience symptoms of Minamata disease.
The disease is named for the Japanese town where more than 100 people died after eating fish contaminated with mercury released into a lake by a chemical plant in the 1950s.
Japanese scientists have been studying people at Grassy Narrows and neighbouring Wabaseemoong (Whitedog) First Nation for decades, and in 2014 urged the federal government to provide care and financial support to every resident in the two communities affected by mercury.
The federal government has not heeded that call. Steve Fobister is among the select few who have received any compensation at all; Azraya's brother Calvin also got some money before he died. Nearly 75 per cent of the claims sent to the board are denied, according to a 2014 report from the board's chair.
The criteria for compensation was established as part of the court settlement in 1985 and remains unchanged, despite three decades of research by the Japanese scientists.
It's the youngsters Fobister worries about the most. Two of his grandchildren, Darwin and Catherine, are "severely" affected by symptoms associated with mercury poisoning. Darwin has difficulty with his balance, and often has the sensation that he's going to fall forward. He also has problems with memory and concentration and suffers from extreme headaches.
After decades of delay and mounting pressure from First Nations and environmental groups, the Ontario government announced in June that it would spend $85 million to clean up the mercury in the English-Wabigoon River. But Steve Fobister said the recent focus on remediating the river does not address the lingering issue of health care.
"I kind of resent the fact they're going to spend money to do a cleanup. Everyone seems to ignore the ailments [associated with] the mercury problems.
For people at Grassy Narrows, Azraya's death raised an alarm about the mental health implications of the poisoning, and how it has affected community members who weren't even born when the river was first contaminated.
After government scientists first confirmed the contamination in the 1970s, Ontario closed the commercial fishery in the English-Wabigoon River system. The lucrative fishing tourism industry near Grassy Narrows also crashed as a result of the poisoning, resulting in mass unemployment. All this came shortly after the community was relocated to a reserve, lured by the promise of better services, such as clean drinking water. To this date, there is still no safe tap water in most homes at Grassy Narrows.
Given these challenges, many people turned to alcohol to ease the pain of disability or idleness. Cramped homes became scarred by violence, with teens regularly the victims.
In 1983, a CBC documentary declared Grassy Narrows a community "on the verge of collapse." It showed a picture of the Grade 8 class that year, and detailed the horrific fate of some of the students. One 15-year-old had been shot to death by her boyfriend; a 16-year-old classmate was charged with stabbing her boyfriend to death in self-defence; another 15-year-old had frozen to death walking home from a party.
A young, charismatic Steve Fobister appears in the documentary. He is healthy, handsome and energetic, as yet unmarred by the mercury — but making the same demands for compensation he does today.
"If the government says no, just like that, I'd fight like hell to demand that I have it my way, even if I have to lay my life on the line," said the then-31-year-old Fobister.
Azraya's death marked a new chapter in this decades-old tragedy.
There have been many battles — both public and private — during the decades of contamination at Grassy Narrows. Early protests led to the arrival of the Japanese researchers, who established the human health consequences of the contamination. More recent actions have included a blockade against logging that began in 2002 and continues to this day. Community members are pushing back against Ontario's forestry regime because studies have shown that clear-cutting could release even more mercury into the environment.
Azraya's death marked a new chapter in this decades-old tragedy. The youngest generation at Grassy Narrows has never known a time before the poisoning. They've never lived in a community where jobs are plentiful and disabilities rare. Few of them are familiar with a world beyond loss and pain and grief.
It's a world Azraya went in search of — a place her friends still want to believe exists.
When you talk to young people at Grassy Narrows, they tilt between despair and defiance. But their vulnerability is equalled by their resilience. They are frightened, but manage to be champions for kids even younger than themselves.
Despite his physical challenges, 20-year-old Darwin Fobister has worked to organize enjoyable diversions for the kids, like going swimming or to the movies.
Still, that future can be hard to see when your vision is clouded with tears. Kyra Sinclair imagines living her life away from the toxic past in Grassy Narrows. But to get there, she said she needs what Azraya was seeking: a way to deal with her grief.
The 15-year-old dropped out of school after Azraya's death. She wants to go back so she can graduate and make a better life for herself and her baby daughter. But before that, she wants to get treatment for her alcohol dependency.
Azraya's friends and family say that finding answers about how she died will help get young people in Grassy Narrows back on track. So Darwin Fobister and other youngsters have become activists in seeking the truth.
Part of their challenge is understanding the role police played in Azraya's final days.
When Azraya was struggling with her brother Calvin's death, she asked her parents to put her in the care of a child welfare agency in Kenora so she could receive counselling. That's when the trouble started. First, there was an altercation with a police officer outside the arena in Kenora, which was caught on video. In it, she is being held to the ground by the burly male officer, begging to go home. The OPP won't answer questions about the incident.
It was a few weeks later that Azraya disappeared after police dropped her off at the hospital. She died nearby. It's not clear whether a worker from Anishinaabe Abinoojii Family Services was with her at the hospital before she walked away into the woods. She was gone two days before a First Nations search team found her.
The man who discovered Azraya said she appeared to have died by suicide, but her family says they have not received a copy of her autopsy report.
Azraya's family and friends have been pushing for an inquest. In July, the provincial coroner's office told CBC News that its investigation was complete but that its reports would not be made public and that there would be no inquest. This was news to Azraya's family.
Why couldn't police find Azraya, when she was discovered across the road from where they'd dropped her off?
A week later, when CBC asked why the family had not been informed of the decision, the coroner's office had a new answer: Azraya's case would be reviewed by an internal inquest advisory committee in September.
In the vacuum created by this lack of answers, Azraya's parents are left to ponder the theory that their daughter died by suicide.
If that is the case, there are questions her father, Marlin Kokopenace, wants answered. Did someone give her drugs or alcohol that contributed to her despair — and if so, are they culpable in her death? If Azraya was suicidal the night she disappeared, how did police and hospital staff miss the signs and let her walk away?
And, critically, why couldn't police find Azraya, when she was discovered just across the road from where they'd dropped her off?
Tragedy runs deep in Azraya's family, and police have typically had some involvement in it. Azraya's grandmother, Mary Eliza Keewatin, died in police custody in 1999, at the age of 57. Police had picked her up for public intoxication, but may have failed to notice she'd been injured. Keewatin was held at the Kenora jail, where she went into medical distress. She was later declared dead in hospital.
Keewatin's two sons, Elvis, 24, and Morris, 29, died in 1992 while trying to swim to shore after police took their boat, leaving them stranded on an island. The pair were believed to have been high from sniffing gas. An inquest into their deaths recommended that police have better resources and training to understand the history of Grassy Narrows First Nation and deal more appropriately with community members when they find them in distress in Kenora.
Violence and a distrust of police keep spreading. Azraya's aunt Lorenda Kokopenace said her son Christian was stabbed in the head last October, only hours after being released from police custody. The 22-year-old was in a coma for three days. In July, Lorenda started crowdsourcing a reward for information about the attack in the belief that police were ignoring the case.
"We know the police don't care about us," she said.
CBC News filed a freedom of information request to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to get more details about Azraya's case. It was denied, on the basis that it might interfere with a law enforcement matter, that it could facilitate the commission of an unlawful act and that the personal information in the case was highly sensitive.
A spokesperson for Ontario Provincial Police told CBC News that no internal investigations have resulted from any officer's conduct involving Azraya, but wouldn't say if the teen was in custody on the night she disappeared.
It's a critical point, because any death in custody in Ontario results in a mandatory inquest.
On the anniversary of Azraya's death, the Lake of the Woods District Hospital issued a statement expressing condolences, but like police, officials there refused to answer any questions about what happened the night she walked away from the facility. Anishinaabe Abinoojii Family Services, the First Nations child welfare agency that was involved with Azraya, is similarly silent.
Frustrated by the silence, the young people at Grassy Narrows are turning to music to raise awareness about Azraya's death. Led by Darwin Fobister, they hope to release a music video on social media this fall that will pressure Ontario to take action.
Darwin hopes his work on the video will not only rally support but also help him grow into a career producing music. He plans to go to college and return to Grassy Narrows to help other young people express themselves in song.
It's a dream his grandfather supports, even as he contemplates the fact that his grandson's future will be tainted by mercury.
Chayna Loon said she found a deeper connection to her heritage in April when she took part in traditional Anishinaabe healing ceremonies on the same weekend as the anniversary of Azraya's death.
Traditional healers were invited to the community by Judy DaSilva, a 55-year-old grandmother whose mercury-related mobility issues sometimes require her to use a wheelchair. Despite her disability, DaSilva has helped maintain the 15-year-old blockade against logging on traditional territory.
While Judy DaSilva and Steve Fobister fought mainly for environmental justice, the battle for the next generation is largely about social justice. Azraya's friends say it starts with winning the fight for an inquest into her death, which would prove the life of a teenager from Grassy Narrows has value.
That, in turn, would give meaning to their own struggles.


With that in mind, Winters wanted to develop a model that allows doctors to have ownership in a parent company and benefit from operational and administration efficiencies, but still operate independently. To help with this framework, Economic Gardening specialists on the National Strategic Research Team (NSRT) identified and evaluated healthcare-related franchise agreements in which doctors own a portion of the business, with a focus on contractual and incentive aspects.
Providing information to help with WVTC's strategic growth plan.
Evaluating the company's digital marketing efforts and providing new ideas for connecting with potential patients — and optometrists who might be interested in opening visual therapy clinics.
Identifying a list of prospective geographic markets in Washington, northern Idaho and western Oregon by leveraging geographic information system (GIS) tools.
The latter was especially important, as Winters had been eyeing the Spokane market for a third clinic. "The researchers not only confirmed that Spokane would be a solid market, but they were also able to determine what specific neighborhood would be best," Winters said.
"Because Washington Vision provides specialized vision care, we were able to take advantage of demographic data that a general optometrist or medical office may not consider," said Clay Smithers, a GIS expert and NSRT member who worked on the project. Smithers looked at not only consumer spending characteristics throughout the state, but also Tapestry Segmentation data, which defines 67 unique personas based on demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral data. "By looking at Washington Vision's current customer list, we were able to highlight relevant Tapestry Segments and then find other markets where those households are common," Smithers explained.
As a result, Winters opened the Spokane clinic in March 2017. Between the new clinic and expansion at the two existing locations, WVTC created seven new jobs, increasing full-time equivalent employee numbers from 17.5 to 24.5.
"Economic Gardening helps you take a 10,000-foot view of your company," he added. "When you're caught in the daily grind of things, it's hard to step back, but it's something you need to do consistently.


Researchers at Kaiser and Emory University in Atlanta have found no data to support a claim that an STD shot increase promiscuity among girls. The controversial HPV vaccine that helps prevent cervical cancer has been the target of a number of myths over the years. Current recommendations from the Center for Disease Control suggest that boys and girls alike be vaccinated at the age of eleven or twelve. The vaccine is recommended so early to ensure that children have the shot before they are sexually active. The CDC recommends 3 doses be injected over a period of six months.
The researchers examined the records of 1400 girls, aged between 11 and 15 years old, enrolled in a Kaiser Permanente health plan in Atlanta. The researchers examined three years' worth of records to determine whether STD tests had been performed, if there had been pregnancies, or if the girls had requested birth control. Over 90% of girls who had been vaccinated did not seek further STD testing, or birth control during the study period.
A previous study conducted by the CDC established that there was no connection between the HPV shot and higher sexually activity in girls aged 15 to 24. However this study has faced a lot of criticism as it was conducted by self-reporting which is generally considered a less reliable method.
The study determined that there was no difference in the incident rates when you compared data between girls who had the HPV shot and those who were unvaccinated. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC have been recommending the vaccine for a number of years.
According to the American Cancer Society, there are an estimated 12,340 new cases of cervical cancer in America each year.

Discount plan? Dental insurance? What's the difference?
If you've been to your dentist recently, you may have seen advertisements for an in-house dental plan or discount plan. Are you wondering how that differs from your dental insurance?
A member pays a full fee for a year of membership.
The member then receives a discount on services performed by a participating dentist.
Discounts may not be provided on all services a dentist performs.
Fees vary from office to office.
Normally, benefits are not applicable for specialty clinics (such as an endodontist or a periodontist).
Most in-house dental plans do not offer nationwide coverage, so be wary if you are a snowbird or frequent traveler.
Have the option to pay annually or monthly – whichever is more convenient.
Receive a network discount on services, with an average discount of 20-30%, and co-insurance coverage.
Enjoy coverage for "just in case" items, like a root canal or a filling.
Have coverage at both general dentist offices and specialty clinics.
Have access to 90% of Minnesota dentists as part of Delta Dental of Minnesota's networks.
Don't have to worry about paying your dentist – payments are made directly to an in-network dentist by Delta Dental of Minnesota.

News Release: Michigan Catholic Conference Files Lawsuit Against Federal Government Over HHS Mandate
Complaint Cites First Amendment Religious Liberty Violations
(Lansing, MI)—Michigan Catholic Conference today filed documents in U.S. District Court as a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the mandate established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that requires many faith-based employers to provide in their health benefit plans abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and artificial contraception, all of which the Catholic Church finds morally objectionable. The nine-count lawsuit asserts violations of the First Amendment's Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses, the Administrative Procedures Act, and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Michigan Catholic Conference is the official public policy voice of the Catholic Church in this state and is guided by a Board of Directors that includes the seven arch/diocesan bishops in the State of Michigan, five laypersons, a religious sister and a diocesan priest. In 1970, Michigan Catholic Conference began to provide employees of the state's seven arch/dioceses and their institutions with a medical insurance benefit. Today, over 10,000 Catholic institution employees and their dependents receive the medical benefit from the Michigan Catholic Conference.
"The HHS mandate represents a very serious violation of religious liberty," said Michigan Catholic Conference President and C.E.O. Paul A. Long. "It would have been better for the country if this threat had not been posed. But it has, and justice demands a fair and impartial decision in a court of law."
The Catholic Conference's lawsuit was filed today as several dozen Catholic entities across the country filed similar lawsuits citing, among others, the HHS mandate's excessive entanglement into the internal governance of religious organizations, a clear violation of the First Amendment's Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses. The lawsuit filed by the Michigan Catholic Conference also alleges that HHS has violated the Administrative Procedures Act and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the latter of which Congress passed in 1993 and was signed into law by President Clinton.
According to the Michigan Catholic Conference complaint: "This lawsuit is about one of America's most cherished freedoms: the freedom to practice one's religion without government interference. It is not about whether people have a right to abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception. Those services are freely available in the United States, and nothing prevents the Government itself from making them more widely available. Here, however, the Government seeks to require Plaintiffs—Catholic entities—to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs by providing, paying for, and/or facilitating access to those services."
"The HHS mandate seeks not only to coerce religious organizations into providing a medical service that is contrary to the Catholic Church's firmly held religious belief, it also could have the effect of financially crippling organizations that courageously stand against an unjust law," says Long. "In effect, Michigan Catholic Conference has been told by the federal government to either facilitate services that violate our conscience or potentially open ourselves up to substantial monetary penalties."
The lawsuit was filed today in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, which is where co-plaintiff Franciscan University of Steubenville is located. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Hilda Solis, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor; and Timothy Geithner, Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, along with their respective agencies, are named as the defendants in the lawsuit.

Ford had advance briefing on airport expansion plans
Karen Howlett
Mayor Rob Ford answers reporters question April 11, 2013 on the Porter Airlines announcement to expand their flight service from Billy Bishop Toronto Island Airport.Moe Doiron/The Globe and Mail
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford received a "high-level" briefing on Porter Airlines' controversial plans to transform the city's downtown airport into a national hub two months before the official announcement.
Porter Airlines chief executive officer Robert Deluce met privately with Mr. Ford on Feb. 12 and again on March 19 with officials in the mayor's office to discuss the company's plan to buy jets capable of long-haul flights and extend the island airport's runway.
The meetings were not included in the city's lobbyist registry. In an e-mail to The Globe and Mail on Thursday, a Porter Airlines spokesman blamed the omission on an "administrative oversight," and said the registry has since been updated.
Mr. Deluce said he gave the mayor just enough details to give him a sense of what was coming.
"We said we had found the right aircraft and it could operate from the airport," he said in an interview. "And if we needed any runway extension, it would be minimal."
Porter Airlines said on Wednesday that it has conditionally purchased up to 30 Bombardier CS100 jets and wants to overturn a jet ban at the airport and extend the runway 168 metres into the water at each end.
The plan must be approved by the city, the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority. The tripartite agreement governing the airport bans jets.
Porter faces an uphill battle. Only seven councillors either support the plan or are leaning in favour of it, according to an informal tally by The Globe. Seventeen oppose or are leaning in that direction and nine are undecided.
Councillor Peter Milczyn, chairman of the city's planning and growth management committee, said he does not think there is any appetite to reopen the agreement among the city, the federal government and the Port Authority.
"Everybody is happy Porter Airlines is doing exceptionally well," Mr. Milczyn told reporters. "It is a great airline. They have the means to expand, just not with jets."
Mr. Ford, who told reporters he talked to Mr. Deluce "a few days ago," is among the supporters.
"I don't see, really, what the downfall is," Mr. Ford said. "This is great. We're creating jobs. Porter's been a huge asset to the city."
Mr. Deluce said his February meeting with Mr. Ford in his office at city hall lasted about 15 to 20 minutes. "It was really brief," he said. "It was really high-level."
Many councillors, by contrast, were in the dark about the airline's plans until its showy announcement this week.
The Globe interviewed several councillors on Thursday, all of whom expressed surprise that they were not told in advance about a plan that cannot go ahead without their approval.
"I'm not happy about the fact that somebody wouldn't have notified me," said Councillor Frank Di Giorgio. "I should have got a heads up."
Mr. Di Giorgio is among seven councillors who responded to an invitation from Porter Airlines to tour its operation at the island in recent months. He and his colleague, Councillor John Parker, visited Porter on Jan. 31.
Mr. Di Giorgio said there was no mention during the one-hour tour by Mr. Deluce or other Porter executives about expanding beyond the cities the airline was already serving.
"Because of the nature of the invitation, I didn't, at the time, view it as someone lobbying me," he said.
Nevertheless, Porter included this and several other meetings on the lobbyist registry: Mr. Deluce met with Councillor Doug Ford, the mayor's brother, on Jan. 14; with Councillor Gary Crawford and on Feb. 12 and with three councillors on Dec. 14 – Karen Stintz, Doug Holyday and Mr. Milczyn.
Under the city by-law governing lobbying, an individual who fails to register their activities can face a substantial fine.
"The growth plans that we announced [Wednesday] were not part of the discussions at those meetings," Mr. Deluce said.
Ms. Stintz said Mr. Deluce telephoned her on Monday to tell her Porter would be making an announcement about introducing new routes, but did not mention anything about jets or extending the runway.
"That's not a discussion I think we need to have," she said in an interview.
Mr. Parker said Porter's conditional deal with Bombardier is premature. "Right off the bat," he said, "that strikes me as a teeny bit cheeky."

Mineral County School District to Incorporate New Changes
Posted by Walt Hackford | Aug 29, 2016 | News | 0 |
Four-Day School Week: Beginning Monday, Aug. 22, Mineral County School District (MCSD) will be welcoming our students back to school. We truly hope that the children from our community have had a fun and relaxing summer vacation and are anxious to begin a new school year. Our teachers and principals are excited to welcome your children back to school and we all look forward to another great school year.
This year, Mineral County School District will be implementing the new four-day work week. All schools within our school district, including: Hawthorne Elementary School, Hawthorne Jr. High and Mineral County High school will be extending their instructional hours from Monday – Thursday each week to compensate for a loss of instruction time on Fridays. Schurz Elementary will remain on the traditional five-day school week, as in previous years.
Indeed many, if not most, rural school districts throughout Nevada have gone to the four-day schedule in an effort to save money and increase student academic performance. Instructional time stays the same with extended hours each day, Monday – Thursday. Fridays are now reserved for athletics, extracurricular activities, and teacher staff meetings, workshops, and in-service. We would invite all parents to please schedule, as best as you can, all doctor and dental appointments for your children on a Friday. We would ask our teachers and principals to do the same.
The four-day school week will be on a probationary status for all schools in Hawthorne this year. What drives all of our decisions in our school district is always student academic achievement. We will be monitoring student achievement data very carefully this upcoming year. If grade level academic growth is unsuccessful, we will certainly consider going back to a five-day week next year. However, historically speaking, most rural school districts that have transitioned to the four-day week on a probationary basis, never go back to the traditional five-day week. All stakeholders within small districts come to prefer the four-day week after the initial trial period. We shall assess the success of this new schedule at the end of this year and see how our parents, teachers, students and community feel as this year progresses. As Superintendent, I can assure all that the MCSD Board of Trustees and I will be monitoring student achievement data very closely and give careful consideration to this transition.
School begins on Monday, Aug. 22: Mineral County High School and Hawthorne Jr. High will begin school at 8 a.m. and release at 3:40 p.m. Hawthorne Elementary School will begin at 8:10 a.m. and will release at 3:15 p.m. Schurz Elementary will begin at 8 a.m. and release at 2:45 p.m. Each school has sent a letter home with bell schedules and bus schedules. You may call the schools for more information if you wish. Hawthorne Elementary, 945-1000; MCHS/HJH, 945-3333 and Schurz Elementary, 773-2323.
New Principal at Mineral County High School and Hawthorne Jr. High: We would like to welcome our newest member of the MCSD administrative team, Mr. Jeff Wales. Mr. Wales comes to MCHS/HJH with eight years of experience as Staff Sargent in the U.S. Air Force and 23 years of experience in education. He previously taught high school music and band for nine years; he was an Assistant Principal for eight years (two years at Pahrump Valley High School and six years at Washoe High School). He has also served as a principal for one year at Rosemary Clark Middle School, Pahrump; and has recently worked for the past four years at the Nevada Department of Education as the Adult Education/Alternative Education Director.
Mr. Wales comes highly recommended from all whom I have spoken with over the past three months. Many people from within the education community in Nevada have spoken favorably of Mr. Wales and have congratulated Mineral County School District for recruiting and hiring such a high quality administrator. I am excited to welcome Mr. Wales to our district and would invite all parents and community members to stop by the high school and visit with Mr. Wales. I'm sure that you will also recognize what a tremendous asset that he will be for our students and teachers.
Bond Question on November Ballot: Mineral County School District has faced a funding crisis over the past two years. And although it seems almost constant for our school district to be in financial despair, these past two years have been crippling. The new state formula for school funding has imposed severe cuts in our overall budget.
We lost $269,000 in state funding last year and, again this year. After numerous appeals and local petitions to our state legislators and the Nevada Department of Education, we have been denied our repeated requests for additional funding. Consequently, we were forced to cut a music and band teacher, a principal, alLibrarian, a computer teacher and slash our operational and supply budgets within our school district. These cuts have hurt our students and have been truly devastating to Mineral County School District. What makes these reductions more painful is the fact that we lost $550 per student in funding, while Storey County lost $110 per student in funding, but all other school districts in Nevada received increases in state funding, per their pupil enrollment.
This summer, MCSD has invested thousands of dollars for necessary facility upkeep and repair. We have replaced our boiler stack at the high school at the cost of $26,000. The old boiler stack was 75 years old and rusted to the point of collapse. We had no choice but to replace this stack. We have resurfaced the parking lots at Schurz Elementary and Hawthorne Elementary School at the cost of $24,000. The cracks in our parking lots were numerous and expanding to the point of becoming a tripping hazard for our students, employees, and parents. We've replaced the roof of the gym at the Arlo K. Funk District Office and have made repairs on the roof at the high school. The boiler at the Arlo K. Funk District Office has a crack that will cost $13,000 to repair – and we have no choice but to repair this boiler, as it is our only source of heat in this building – which is still used by all of our Hawthorne students, daily. The shingles on the roof of the high school (the upper section of the main building) need replacement desperately. The back-up generator at Schurz Elementary needs a new oil pump that will cost $15,000. All said, we have several older buildings within our school district and costly repairs are forthcoming and inevitable. We need help from our community if we have any chance to make these improvements over the years, as needed.
I am asking that all of our Mineral County community members unite in support of our school district and vote in favor of the School Bond Question on the November election ballot. Legally speaking, none of these bond funds can divert towards teacher salaries or benefits. All bond funding must be allocated for facility repair or renewal.
Furthermore, local taxes shall not increase in anyway if the school bond is passed. Current bond monies will continue to be allocated and divided between Mineral County and Mineral County School District, as they have been for many years. We greatly support Mineral County and are happy to share in bond revenue with them. The local tax burden will not increase if the bond is passed, nor will the local tax burden decrease if the school bond does not pass. Absolutely no changes shall be incurred by our local citizens if this bond is passed.
Simply put, our school district is in great need for this bond to pass in November. If it does not pass, we'll be forced to drain our currently depleted resources and divert into building maintenance and repair over the next ten years – and our kids will lose even more programs, teachers, and supplies. Spread the word around Mineral County that we need community support in this matter. We need the support of the people in Schurz, Walker Lake, Hawthorne, Mina and Luning to act on Election Day, VOTE "YES" FOR THE SCHOOL BOND ISSUE.
More information is forthcoming on this matter. Thank you all, in advance, for your support of our school district.

How solar energy firms lose clients with their hard sell

By Larry Wilson | lwilson@scng.com | Pasadena Star News
PUBLISHED: December 2, 2022 at 12:52 p.m. | UPDATED: December 6, 2022 at 11:47 a.m.
One of the good things about working at home during the thick of the pandemic lockdowns was the similarly timed lack of strangers knocking on one's door, selling something or another.
More than usual, even, I didn't want to see them.
And, happily, for at least a severe year, they didn't want to see me.
Well, seeing is OK. The stand-up desk from which I work — beautifully built into a gorgeous gleaming white bookshelf, with drawers and electrical outlets and storage galore, and a fold-out laptop shelf, and one for photos and tchotchkes above this screen, by my brilliant architect wife — is inches away from the cottage's front door.
Which is made entirely of glass, the better to let the south-facing-view light in.
A quick turn to the left and I could see the Amazon essential workers, and the UPS man, and Mr. Butler, the postman, delivering stuff to the teak garden table, along occasionally the DoorDash or even restaurant-employed food deliverers like from the delightful Daisy Mint bringing meals for when we just couldn't stomach another home-cooked one.
See them, and wave to them, and mouth "thank you" — but not have to get breathed on by them, nor them by me.
Good times, what?
Years later, by turns just tired of the all-out fight against disease but also mightily vaccinated, most everyone, including door-to-door salespeople, is venturing out again. Knocking.
Most of the time I send them away without a word, miming that I am on the phone or such, but one scorching mid-day I peered out the glass and took pity on the young woman waving out there, with me inside with the AC blasting.
Let's call her S. She wrote recently: "I hope you're doing well! I was the woman who booked you for a solar appointment in the blazing summer heat in August. And you were so kind to offer me some water!"
And the reason she was writing was that all those months ago, soon after we had a nice visit about the 100-degree day and going door-to-door in it, peddling solar-power panels, she had left that firm — one of the giants of the solar industry — over its hard-sell techniques written into a script mandated by corporate bosses. A hard sell that ended up in a no sale, because I wasn't buying it.
Though I had not really been in the market for solar — even though I knew it would be greener to have it, I've always been wary of the high up-front costs, tax breaks or no tax breaks — I listened to her pitch. Friends have had good experiences. One is in the environmentally enviable position of selling power back to the city's utility, plus being able to charge his electric car on it, using no coal or methane to do so.
S. took a look at our roof, nicely angled to the sun, made some back-of-the-envelope measurements, and made an appointment for a colleague to come back with an offer.
That day came. A fellow from the company came up our driveway, and I went out the door to greet him. He had some paperwork in his hands. After some small talk, I said, "Listen, as it happens I'm on deadline right now for work. Leave your estimate with me and I'll make some time later to read it and get right back to you."
"No can do," he said. "I need half an hour of your time."
"Don't have it right now," I said. "Happy to read all this when I do, and give you a call."
"It won't work for me that way. Don't you have flexibility? Because I am interested," I said.
Then he shook his head and just walked away, literally losing a sale as he did.
S. apparently heard how it went down later:
"I'm writing you, because I was well-aware of your bad experience with (giant solar company). … I was very sorry that the consultant arrived without a proposal and kept you waiting. Your proposal should have been ready for the meeting, and it was shocking to me that it wasn't. The fact that it wasn't was totally unacceptable."
S. has now joined another firm. "What I love most about the company is their transparency in pricing. Very straightforward. I have a client whose 117k solar system from (giant firm) was just 90k with (new firm). … We understand people's busy schedules, and offer Zoom appointments online that are fun and collaborative."
I'm still more than a bit wigged out by spending $90,000 to go green, much less $117,000. But, (giant firm), if I do make the investment, it'll be with S., because she knows the soft sell can be much more effective than the hard.

Ozzy Osbourne Cancels 2020 Tour, Citing Health Concerns
This year, Osbourne revealed that he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
Kevin Winter/AMA2019
Ozzy Osbourne has canceled his 2020 tour. The press release announcing the cancellation cites health problems and says he'll soon seek treatment in Europe. Last month, Osbourne revealed that he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
"I'm so thankful that everyone has been patient because I've had a shit year," Osbourne said in a statement. He added:
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six-eight weeks. I don't want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it's just not fair to the fans. I'd rather they get a refund now and when I do the North American tour down the road, everyone who bought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time."
Osbourne's new album Ordinary Man is out this Friday.

Director of U of I Police Training Institute Called "Public Relations Clown" at Urbana Police Review Board Meeting
Michael Schlosser, Director of the U of I Police Training Institute, at the September 3rd Urbana Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB) Meeting
On Tuesday September 3rd, 2020 the Urbana Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB) held another special meeting for training purposes. Dr. Michael Schlosser of the University of Illinois Police Training Institute returned to give a presentation on de-escalation.
Schlosser was previously criticized by CPRB members and members of the public after his use of force presentation on July 29th for lacking technical details and for being dismissive about police misconduct.
Schlosser is known for trying to charm his audience with "dad jokes", but his de-escalation presentation was so full of ineffectual blither that one attendee described it as "cringey". Schlosser walked the CPRB through another police training slideshow that appeared to be written for a child's comprehension level.
The slideshow included video clips of Schlosser's favorite Adam Sandler movies, such as "Billy Madison" and "Anger Management". Schlosser would give an "A" to the CPRB members who could name the movie titles to which his clips belonged. The board members did not appear entertained.
Michael Schlosser of the U of I Police Training Institute plays clips of Adam Sandler movies to explain police de-escalation tactics
Schlosser didn't actually know how to play the clips properly in a Zoom conference call, so they mostly resulted in a lot of confusion and wasted time.
According to Urbana City staff, these presentations will be used to train future CPRB members.
One member of the public who attended the virtual meeting had this to say after Schlosser's presentation:
"That presentation was absolutely terrible. I feel like my evening has been wasted and it wasn't clear what anyone might have actually learned here. I think we should all realize that Michael Schlosser is really just a public relations clown for the police. He likes to use stupid little jokes and these dumb videos to try and charm people, but if you really listen to the content of his presentation, he is presenting something that either does not represent how police actually operate, or he fails to realize when police are doing something morally wrong. It's all just a puppet show to distract you from the rampant corruption within our police system."

We live in a vibrant and glorious democracy, the central tenet of which is the right to self-government and voting. In 1870, government officials tried to change the law to ensure that no one would be denied the right to vote. It would be inconceivable to them that the descendants of those who once fought for suffrage would eventually have to be coerced into embracing it.
We live in a vibrant and glorious democracy, the central tenet of which is the right to self-government and voting. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution reads: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In 1870, government officials tried to change the law to ensure that no one would be denied the right to vote. It would be inconceivable to them that the descendants of those who once fought for suffrage would eventually have to be coerced into embracing it.
A communal sense of voter apathy currently exists in the general population. In the 2012 Presidential Election, only 53.6% of the American population greeted the polls. In itself, this statistic is appalling, but when compared to the high numbers of countries such as Belgium and Turkey with turnouts of 87.2% and 84.3% respectively, it is absolutely horrific. These numbers only grow worse when one glances at the statistics surrounding youth voters, citizens aged 18-24. In the 2012 Presidential Election, only 50% of youth voters participated in the election.
Our ancestors fought for this right, a right that scores of Americans are currently consciously ignoring. The right to vote has been fought for throughout America's history, from the struggle against the disenfranchisement of African Americans in the 19th Century to the 20th Century's Women's Suffragette movements. Currently, voting rights are absent or limited in many countries such as Zimbabwe, Guatemala, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and the Dominican Republic. North Korea and Belarus are completely run by authoritarian governments. Since millions of people around the world have little say in their government, voting in the United States is more than just a right; it is a privilege. It is both ironic and disheartening that, while millions of people around the world are disenfranchised, only half of Americans take the time to exercise their right to vote.
Voting is particularly important for young people. In the current election, many youth voters supported Bernie Sanders and now claim that they will not vote for any of the remaining candidates. Yet the votes of our youngest population can be crucial in determining the final outcome. In the 2000 Presidential Election, three candidates rose to the ranks: the Republican George W. Bush, the Democratic Al Gore, and the third party candidate Ralph Nader. Many young voters rose to support Nader, claiming Bush and Gore were examples of the failures of the major parties. Yet, in reality, the election was a two-party election. Votes gained by Nader simply detracted from those of Gore, and in subsequent years contributed to the general anger at Bush's presidency. The current election shares the same risk. Despite the presences of candidates Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, at the end of the day this will be a two-party election; wasting votes on third-parties is pointless. Yet this is an example of how young voters can so influence the outcome of the general election. In addition, not only are young voters influential, but the policies that are enacted under a presidency can and will directly affect their futures.
Other governments even have the idea of compulsory voting. Even today there is a perception that voting rights are being abrogated in some states. For example, North Carolina's recent ID laws demand specific requisites for votes. Irrespective of the merits of their arguments, it's still a hot button issue at the heart of which is whether the system disenfranchises some groups. The difficulties placed before some NC residents to register should make others take their ability to vote more seriously.
Voting is not just a right; it's also a duty owed not just the country, but to ourselves, our families and, most importantly, to future generations of Americans. Before people decide stay home from the polls, they must remember the suffragettes, the slaves who fought and died to cast ballots, and those in other countries who still yearn for these rights. Only then is it possible to make a decision.

There's little doubt in the hype-obsessed art press that Los Angeles is currently the world's hottest location, with a new gallery opening each month and young artists clamoring to get a foothold -- and, at long last, shunning New York.
But nowhere could be hotter than a sardine-tin room in L.A.'s Virgil Village, where the AC does nothing and the crowd has no choice but to stand nose-to-canvas with 50 photographs, drawings, paintings, and digital artworks by a new generation of Californian creatives.
Sunday gallery, a 20-foot-wide room reached from a back garden staircase, (through somebody's living room) is barely big enough to contain the 47 exhibitors whose group show launched on 30 July.
So when a crush of guests turn up, too, the thermometer shatters.
This is what happens when you invite four-dozen artists making shimmering square-shaped imagery perfect for Instagram: their followers -- running into the thousands, tens-of-thousands, and hundred-thousands -- arrive in force, IRL.
24-year-old Adi Rajkovic, the curator of "Hot in Here," as the exhibition was (inevitably) titled, discovered them all on the social media platform before forming the idea for the show.
"We wanted to have a big group show that included all the artists I was discovering on Instagram [and] a lot of artists I knew that were all making a lot of amazing work," says Rajkovic, who co-founded the gallery in 2014.
"Instagram has been really important," she adds. "I learned about whole new worlds."
Flick through the gallery at the top to see 13 artists -- all young, female, and lighting up Instagram -- you should be adding to your daily scroll.

Thursday headlines: SC House unanimously passes huge income tax cut
File photo | Credit: Sean Rayford file photo
The S.C. House unanimously passed a $600 million annual income tax cut Wednesday with less than 15 minutes of discussion. After five years, the proposal would cut $1 billion annually from state coffers. Now the bill goes to the state Senate. The discussion on Wednesday was mostly by Democrats praising the idea. Democratic Rep. David Weeks of Sumter said: "This is the best thing since sliced bread for the working man in South Carolina." The House plan cuts the state's top income tax rate from 7% to 6% over the next six years, a plan tied to economic growth. All other taxpayers would be combined into a 3% bracket.

S.C. House budget proposal bumps starting teacher salary. A proposal approved Wednesday by House budget writers would start every state public school teacher at $40,000 a year, a jump from the $36,000 minimum salary. The move comes as the state works to allocate an additional $4.6 billion it has to spend this year. State employees could also see a pay increase and bonus this year.

Q: make the dots navigation faster from the owl carousel I want to make the navigation slider faster when the user uses the dots navigation. The slides move so slow when you use the dots to change the slides.
I read in the Owl Carousel documentation that the dotsSpeed parameter is a boolean, but it doesn't say anything about whether I can put a value for the timing.
There is the only place where the dotsSpeed is, I put the timing in value like 1000 and nothing happened.
How can I speed up the dot navigation action?

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#owl-demo").owlCarousel({
    nav: false,
    navRewind: true,
    navText: ['prev', 'next'],

    dots: true,
    dotsEach: false,
    dotData: false,
    dotsSpeed: true,

A: I had success using dotsSpeed with version 2.2.1.
Version 1.3.2 does not seem to have dotsSpeed functionality.

$(function() {
  $("#owl-demo").owlCarousel({

Steve Moore: Volunteers in tune with notions of community
The question I am asked most after "What is the Big Society?" is "How do I get involved?" Tomorrow, when the White Paper Giving is published, that question will be a little easier to answer.
Today, like every Sunday, tens of thousands will give up time to their local community; on countless sports grounds, in churches, arts groups and in care homes. As the Prime Minister has repeatedly said, the Big Society existed before the phrase was coined; his ambition is to make it bigger.
While the idea has been debated, something much more interesting, important, and largely unreported, has been developing. A vibrant, burgeoning community of social entrepreneurs has emerged, new social investment funds have been created, and businesses that a decade ago started to take sustainability seriously are now looking at "community" as the new "green". All have been emboldened by the PM making the Big Society central to his Government's mission.
At the Big Society Network, we are championing innovations that enable people to give their time, expertise and money to their communities. Tomorrow, we launch a new programme – Nexters – to support the best social ventures: community sports festivals; micro philanthropic giving to the arts; new ways of giving youngsters access to public space; a global sharing initiative; and many new ways of making it easier to donate to charities. The volunteers are people for whom the Big Society is not contentious but goes with the grain of contemporary trends – economic, cultural and technological.
The key now is to ally deft policy-making to these social forces. As the US writer David Brooks, who visited the UK this week, argued, no government is trying what David Cameron's is – to decentralise power and harness local community energies.
Tomorrow's White Paper suggests the Government understands the non-political forces that informed the idea. They will be rewarded for doing so.

Neodymium magnets have poor resistance to corrosion and they can also corrode from the inside-out if proper pre-treatment processes are not followed. Oftentimes, multi-layer Nickel-Copper-Nickel plating is applied to prevent failure from corrosion, but this preventative technique may not be sufficient for all applications.
Typically a corrosion preventive layer is applied in the form of a coating or plating. Because of the reactive nature of the NdFeB alloy, coating and plating adhesion is always a concern. Neo magnets are not coated or plated to a particular ASTM, ASM, etc. specification; however, the performance of a coating or plating is typically evaluated with a Salt Spray/Salt Fog Test (SST) and this is executed in accordance with ASTM B117.
The Neo alloy, magnet geometry, and corrosion inhibiting layer work in concert to extend the operational life of the magnet. Dura has compiled minimum performance characteristics of various coating and plating options for Neo magnets based on the ASTM B117 Salt Fog testing method. This method is only for evaluating Neo magnets which have a corrosion inhibiting layer.
Please engage a Dura magnet application specialist for help with determining the best method for extending the operational life of the Neodymium magnet to be used in your application.
* The "fully dense" aspect refers to the fact that the particular Neo magnet has been sintered and is not comprised of a plastic/epoxy binder. Neodymium magnets that utilize a plastic/epoxy binder are injection or compression molded. They are not fully dense and are isotropic.

Poundland could be sold off in £3.6bn deal

The parent company of Poundland could be sold off or floated in the coming months, according to multiple reports.
The Times reported on Friday that Pepkor Europe, the company that owns Poundland, met bankers to discuss a possible sale or initial public offering (IPO) of the business. It follows a similar report from South Africa's Business Day earlier this month.
Pepkor Europe is owned by Steinhoff (SNH.DE), a South African retail group that has been struggling to recover from a €6bn (£5.5bn) accounting scandal. The group is now under the control of its creditors and seeking to offload assets in a bid to pay off its debts.
Steinhoff said in an investor presentation earlier this week that "divestments are being considered" but CEO Louis du Preez said no decision had been taken on the future of Pepkor.

A spokesperson for Steinhoff told Yahoo Finance UK: "We are currently evaluating all options but no decision has been made."
Shares in Steinhoff were down by 7% in Germany on Friday.
Chart: Yahoo Finance
Steinhoff acquired Poundland for £610m in 2016 and combined it with its European discount chain Pepkor.
The Times said that Pepkor Europe recently refinances some debt as part of preparations for a transaction. The company could be valued at around €4bn in any deal. Business Day reported that Steinhoff is considering listing Pepkor in either London or Warsaw.
Pepkor, which also owns the Dealz chain, recently reported half-year sales up 13.3% to €1.7bn. Poundland accounted for €920m of the total.
Earlier this week, Poundland announced that it was relaxing its iconic pricing policy to include more items priced between 50p and £5. 75% of its products will still sell for £1, however.

Woman sentenced to probation in horse-abuse case
CARROLLTON — A southwestern Illinois woman has been sentenced to two years of probation and a $1,500 fine after pleading guilty to nine counts alleging she unlawfully disposed of dead horses under her care.
42-year-old Stacey Kempf of Jerseyville entered the pleas on Friday in Greene County. As part of a deal with prosecutors, she agreed to have no animal ownership while on probation.
Kempf also pleaded guilty to six counts of unlawful violation of animal ownership duties.
Prosecutors dropped 15 other misdemeanor counts that included nine accusing Kempf of starving or abusing the animals.
Authorities said the misconduct took place between last December and the end of February.
Kempf has agreed to relinquish 26 surviving horses, many of them found in various stages of neglect.


The top prospect said he didn't think any of the pitches in his arsenal were "really, really good" Friday. The fact that he felt that way while still tossing five scoreless innings speaks to his potential.
Considering his phenomenal start in Monday I have no doubt that there'll be more Topps Now cards in Buehler's future.
