The Bute Inlet map area contains 162 recorded mineral occurrences and covers part of the south coastal mainland and adjacent islands and part of northeast Vancouver Island. The mainland and most of the islands lie within the Coast Crystalline belt. This area is notable for its narrow northwest trending belts of Paleozoic and/or Triassic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks which are separated by broader areas of quartz diorite and granodiorite of the Mesozoic Coast Plutonic Complex. The Vancouver Island part of the map area lies within the Insular belt and is underlain primarily by Upper Triassic Vancouver Group rocks which are intruded by several large stocks of quartz diorite of the Jurassic Island Intrusions.
The map area is historically well known for many past producers, primarily on Quadra Island and the Phillips Arm area. Significant mineral occurrences in the Phillips Arm area comprise the Alexandria (092K 028), Enid-Julie (092K 024) and Doratha Morton (092K 023) past producers, which have received recent exploration activity. Precious metals occur in a quartz-veined and silicified shear zone along a contact between a band of metamorphosed rocks and the Coast Plutonic Complex.
The Coast Plutonic Complex hosts polymetallic quartz veins, porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization and is known for its building stone and dimension stone potential. The Loughborough (092K 048) and Hope (092K 018) historically produced gold, silver and copper from quartz veins. The OK deposit (092K 008) hosts a possible resource of 68 million tonnes of 0.39 per cent copper and 0.02 per cent molybdenum. The Knight Inlet Granite quarry (092K 140) was opened in 1985 and has operated intermittently since.
The Upper Triassic Vancouver Group, consisting of Karmutsen Formation volcanic rocks and Quatsino Formation limestone, hosts skarn mineralization near contacts with Mesozoic intrusions, volcanogenic disseminated copper mineralization in pillow lavas, and hydrothermal veins. The Iron Mike (092K 002) and Lucky Jim (092K 043) past producers are skarn deposits and produced iron, copper, gold and silver. The Copper Road (092K 062) and Pomeroy deposits (092K 071, 072, 119) produced copper from disseminated and vein mineralization in pillow lavas.
Limestone quarries are widely distributed throughout Vancouver Group rocks, predominantly in the Quatsino Formation. Brucite occurs within zones in some limestones.
Exploration potential remains high in the map area.

Libraries Are Obsolete – An Oxford Style Debate – Critique
Finally available online at http://osc.hul.harvard.edu/hlsc/oxford_debate, the 1hr:40min video was both stimulating and disappointing. For those of you who don't have 1:40 or patience to wade through the stilted academician rhetoric to come to any conclusions, I thought I'd offer my summary and critique of the event.
The MOTION: Libraries are Obsolete was the topic of the Oxford style debate. It was chaired by Professor Jonathan Zittrain, Professor at the Harvard Law School, the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Professor Zittrain will become Harvard Law School's Vice-Dean of Library and Information Resources in July 2012.
Speaking in favor of the proposition: Dr. James Tracy (Headmaster, Cushing Academy), and R. David Lankes (Professor and Dean's Scholar for the New Librarianship, University of Syracuse iSchool and Director of the Information Institute of Syracuse).
Speaking in opposition: Susan Hildreth (Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services), and Professor John G. Palfrey (Vice Dean for Library and Information Resources, and the Henry N. Ess III Professor of Law at Harvard Law School).
Student Speakers from the Harvard Speech & Parliamentary Debate Society:
• Sanhita Dey
• Rishav Mukherji
Beginning with Dr. Tracy, his position in favor of libraries being obsolete revolved around his definition of "library" as a space, and referred to libraries as a "vestigial" (stunted or useless) locus that only serves an "antiquarian" (museum essentially) function. He felt the ubiquity (pervasiveness) of technology makes libraries obsolete, and doubts whether the serendipity potential that technology allows with digital information can be matched in a physical library. Dr. Tracy did concede that librarians are not at risk, as long as they transition to the role of "guide" who practice in "digital aggregates" as opposed to "librarians" operating in a "library". He believes that collection space must be replaced with usage space in order to meet the future needs of society.
Director Susan Hildreth followed in opposition to the Motion, but spent considerable time citing statistics on 97% of Americans who are served by libraries, and 57% of Americans that have a library card. Admitting that the number of reference questions are plummeting, she asserts that the complexity of the reference question is increasing – no statistics to support that claim. She repeated the standard rhetoric regarding the public access Internet use, the assistance for job seekers, and essentially regurgitated much of the traditional "libraries are invaluable" justifications. Director Hildreth did assert that libraries must change to survive, and become more proactive in managing their space. She asserts that libraries are centers for life-long learning, and the 3Rs have been replaced by the 4Cs – creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.
Professor Lankes followed next with his largely comedic routine in support of the Motion that libraries are obsolete. He asserts that libraries are no longer about sharing, but about lending which diminishes their value to the community. In his argument that libraries do not promote a free and democratic society he created an example of government documents never being made "public" or available to the public in support of his assertion. (?) He also created an analogy that when the Tennessee Valley Authority brought electricity to the rural southeast they brought it directly to homes, whereas the library simply opens its doors and says come get it. (?) He made a true statement when he asserted that librarians are not educators in terms of education in the 21st Century. Professor Lankes believes that the library has been operating on the belief that its role is to fix society for so long that it doesn't understand any other way to operate. He stated: "If we keep going to our communities in a deficiency model, a remediation sense, if we keep pounding on the community and saying what's wrong with them, what their problems are, how we can fix them, fix their problems, communities will kick us the hell out." (As nearly as I was able to transcribe his exact words) That statement is in stark contrast to Lankes' assertions in his book The Atlas of New Librarianship – which I reviewed in my Post Final Review: The Atlas of New Librarianship – on Page74.
Power is not bad or evil. Alinsky would say the evil is when you don't have power. Without power you don't make decisions, things are decided for you. Librarians need to be powerful. They need to be able to shape agendas, lead the community, and empower members to do the same. We seek out power not as an end but as a means to make the world a better place. To serve, to truly serve, you need to be powerful so you can steward the community.
After Lankes's remarks, Debate President Professor Zittrain stated that Professor Lankes' argument was "ironically and nominally in opposition to the Motion."
The final prominent speaker in opposition to the Motion was Professor Palfrey. He asserted that the real issue is that libraries and librarians lack imagination in order to change the future of libraries, because the definition of "library" needs to be rewritten with imagination. He feels that the mission of libraries has not changed – therefore not obsolete – but the delivery of that mission is the real quandary. His four main points were; libraries have and must change, the mission has not changed, the difficulty of the mission has changed, and whether librarians can change. Professor Palfrey believes that a library in these digital times is a hybrid organization in transition toward whatever circumstances will make it in the future. His final words of wisdom were to "get in front of the mob and call it a parade."
The two students who provided comments were much briefer than the primary speakers, but did offer a couple of nuggets worth reporting. Rishav Mukherji, speaking in the affirmative (I think), pointed out that a library is not a library without a collection – regardless of what form it takes. Sanhita Dey, speaking in the opposition, noted that the microwave did not make the role of the oven or the range top in the average kitchen obsolete, and that librarians need to protect free access during this transitional period.
At the end of the debate, the audience voted yea or nay on the motion, with the results (in favor of the continuing relevance of libraries) announced over gin & tonics at a reception that followed the debate.
Overall – IMHO – this Oxford-style debate was more detrimental than productive to the profession. It took a very serious issue, and made light of its seriousness. Libraries closing and loss of jobs is not humorous. Loss of free access to information by tax payers is hardly a subject for levity. It is unfortunate that one of the most prestigious libraries in the world was the first to address this significant issue in such a light-hearted manner. As I noted above, it was both stimulating and disappointing – stimulating because it took considerable concentration to understand whether there were any relevant points being made, and dissappointing because there was no new information.
When the profession is struggling to find its role in the new millennium, this conversation about whether libraries are obsolete should be conducted at every level, in every SLIS, and in every library. An adequate answer to the nagging question "Why do we need libraries?" MUST be provided to the profession, if libraries are to survive. It's too serious an issue to be taken lightly by individuals who should know better – or to be decided over gin & tonics – where no real answers to serious issues are presented.

Thank you very much for your summary and critique. Too bad the debate was framed in a way that suggests that libraries probably are obsolete. Simply flipping the title ("Libraries remain essential") would change the bias.
Many librarians do embrace new definitions of libraries, library services, and library collections. Probably more of us need to be out front, leading the way. At the same time, the boards and other administrative bodies that govern and limit how we function are also implicated if the problem is lack of imagination and creativity.
Yes, they are. But, shouldn't they be taking their lead from librarians?

Q: Using Python to parse CSV to find specific string Completely new to python (and programming).
Trying to write a python script that reads a CSV file and searches for a specific string. The string represents an instance which will eventually aid in a larger script (performing additional task). With the script below I can read the CSV but I don't know how I can get the script to look for a specific string:
import csv
with open('XXXXXXX.csv', 'r') as csv_file:
    csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
    for line in csv_reader:
        print(line)

I have tried using splits, append, pandas and other options but I am not able to get it to work. Would appreciate any assistance.

A: The in operator can help you determine if something is in another thing, as shown below:
for line in file:
    if "desired string" in line:
        print("It's here")

Some examples from IDLE:
>>> s = "this is a string"
>>> a = s.split()
>>> a
['this', 'is', 'a', 'string']
>>> t = (1, 3, 32, 4)
>>> 'is' in s
True
>>> 'is' in a
True
>>> 'is' in a[0]
True
>>> 'is' in t
False
>>> 1 in t
True
>>> 32 in t
True

A: I think the easiest way would be to just type the word in quotes and check in the file immediately without a loop:
'and' in open(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\something.csv').read().split()

gives: True

Or if you know what words you want to check, you can pass them in a list and check them with this code to categorise them in found and not found categories like this:
li = ['area','keep','have','sky'] #make a list with the words you want to check

for i in li:
    if i in open(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\something.csv').read().split():
        print('found:' + i)
    else:
        print('not found:' + i)

Which gives the following:
found:area
found:keep
found:have
not found:sky

Or a third way that looks more like your code and also counts how many times it is found:
import csv
with open(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\something.csv', 'r') as csv_file:
    csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
    z=0
    ax=csv_file.read().split()
    if 'and' in ax:
        print('found')
    for line in ax:
        z+=line.count('and')
    print(z)

Which gives:
found
191

If the word is in the csv.

A: You can search for a string in a CSV file and print the results.
import csv
# Asks for search criteria from user
search_parts = input("Enter search criteria:\n").split(",")
# Opens csv data file
file = csv.reader(open("C:\\your_path_here\\test.csv"))
# Go over each row and print it if it contains user input.
for row in file:
    if all([x in row for x in search_parts]):
        print(row)

Now this is a fundraiser! Last year more than 35,000 people attended the Big Country Balloon Fest in Abilene, Texas. Coordinated by the Abilene Optimist Club, the event expects to raise approximately $60,000.
Of course what really gets raised are both hot air balloons and spirits. Fourteen balloons took to the sky at the festival, including three different balloons from last year. There were also family friendly activities throughout the weekend including performances by they Austin End of the Line synchronized kite team, balloon rides, food, entertainment, train rides, pony rides and more.
Photo taken by Jason Holder shows a cluster of balloons during the balloon glow.

St. Maarten will hear from some of the island's most talented young people on October 4 when the Optimist Club of Soualiga hosts a Gospel Song Fest. Ten individuals and two groups all beteween the ages of 7 and 15 will come together for a group performance and then face-off against one another to determine the champion of champions.
The Song Fest is chaired by Optimist Club member Angel Lecroes. She explained that the objective of the program is to allow young people to express their creativity in song and to share a positive message to the community. Tickets are being sold to the event, $10 for adults and $5 for children. Funds raised benefit other Optimist Club projects for youth.
I like Optimist Club stories that honor children for doing the right thing. This time it is a young man from Belleville, Illinois that stood up to 14 other students who were attacking another student on a school bus. Shocking video footage showed the group ganging up on one student, not once, but twice. Thanks to Steven Raines, a junior at Belleville West High School, the attack was stopped as he intervened and sat next to the threatened student for the remainder of the ride.
"I appreciate being recognized for what I think is a small thing that I did -- just something that was right," Steven said as he accepted the award from Chief of Police William Clay on behalf of the Belleville West Optimist Club.
According to Barbara Beuckman, Optimist Club co-president, Steven's actions confirm that young people are willing to stand up for what is right. She believes that is a testament to parents like Steven's who teach their children good morals.
Violence isn't funny. Congratulations and thank you Steven Raines for making a difference.

I was drawn to the headline "City of Lockport: Community Night to feature a lot of free stuff" admittedly because it was both funny and intriguing. First of all, "a lot of" is an indeterminate amount. I wondered is there enough free stuff to go around? Second, what kind of "free stuff" are they handing out? Is it stuff I want?
The key to this headline really shouldn't be the offer of free stuff; but instead, our attention should be drawn to community. It is somewhat sad that it takes the lure of receiving something material to get us to recognize the many intangible benefits that our community offers us every day.
At this event in Lockport, New York, residents will learn first hand about Boy Scouts, Girl scouts, YMCA, the city youth and recreation department, Care Net, Lockport Cares, several Optimist Clubs and churches that offer non- sectarian outreaches such as GED programs.
Don't forget, those organizations that will help you grow both personally and professionally will also offer you some free stuff just for attending and learning more about living in Lockport. After all, it is a learning fair complete with fair food, family -friendly activities, and details on how to access city services.
I hope the residents have fun at the fair on Thursday, October 1, 5:00 to 8:00 pm at Genesee and Waterman Streets, Lockport; I hope they get their free stuff, but I also hope they join a club and get involved too.
The Tri-County Optimist Club of Pulaski-Krakow, Wisconsin held their fourth annual car show on September 20 with more than 150 vehicles on display. Not all were cars, as this photo shows us, but all were lovingly cared for by their owners and ready to meet show quality standards which equal "Showin'off for a reason."
One hundred percent of all funds benefit charity said Optimist Club president Nora Scray. Last year registered cars contributed $1,000 to the Childhood Cancer Campaign. Optimist International has contributed almost $1M to research to eradicate childhood cancer at John Hopkins University. Local funds are available for families and children who need them.

The Optimist Club of Carrollton, Georgia recently came together with the Ferst Foundation, Carroll County Schools and others interested in increasing childhood literacy to support early reading skills. Through fund raising efforts the Foundation brings books to the community by offering annual subscriptions. For an annual investment of $36, a child will receive one new book per month.
Parents say that receiving the book is like opening a present and the children can't wait to read them, often together with their parents. And that is just what the organizers want to hear, but to make it happen, it takes a lot of support from the community.
First of all, the books have to be purchased; the subscriptions have to be sold or donated; and then the books have to be delivered. The community contributes at all levels, with much happening at the Burgers, Bands and Books Festival. Families are entertained, silent auctions take place, books are sold, donations are given, and families sign up for the service while those that can't afford it are matched with sponsors willing to help. In the four years that the activity has been held, the Carroll County Schools have tracked the results and claim that children participating in the program are reporting higher scores than others who have not.
So what does the Optimist Club do? On the day of the event, they work to bring out the best in kids offering a putt-putt course while parent shop. Other activities are face painting, storytelling, performances from local bands and food. After the event, the Optimist Club is one of many civic organizations that donate to the cause. "I'm here for the kids and it's just a lot of fun," said Optimist Club member Bob Myers.
Not only is it fun, it is a valuable community asset. Keep it up!
On September 12, the United Way in Bay City, Michigan brought service clubs together for a Day of Caring at the W.R. Bush Elementary School. Members from the Optimist Club, Rotary Club, Leadership Bay County and local merchants gave their expertise, time, materials and labor to create an outdoor reading area, refurbish the landscaping and paint games on the blacktop for the students to enjoy.
Families and students also got involved in the Day of Caring and by the end of the day, the children were able to enjoy the fresh play area with hop scotch, four square and refreshments served up by the partners.
What a great way to get a lot of work done in a short period of time. It's good that the Optimist Club was involved with other groups and many clubs do serve as volunteers when they are called upon. My encouragement for you today: don't be afraid to step out of the pack and be the leader. Your Optimist Club can inspire others to come together to make real improvements in your community.
As the school year gets underway each year, the Optimist Club of Gilbert, Arizona plans two major projects. One is the Gilbert Halloween Carnival and the other is a Child Identification program. Both bring them in direct contact with students to help teach and keep them safe.
The Child ID Program weighs and measures students, takes their fingerprints and pictures and collects information needed to help locate the child should they ever turn up missing. The kit also help parents learn what to do with the information to keep it safe and up-to-date.
The Halloween Carnival has a big emphasis on safety as well. By teaching kids safe Halloween practices and providing a party at the school, the Gilbert Optimist Club places an emphasis on the well-being of the children in their community.
The Hereford Optimist Club in Monkton, MD was formed in 2001 and every year they have served their community with programs that include Shop with a Cop, Essay and Oratorical Contests, Adopt-a-Highway, Youth Appreciation and the Chain Gang.
Yes, you read that right: the Chain Gang. According to Optimist members, this is the easiest project to fill with volunteers. Every week during the school year, for varsity and junior varsity football games, Hereford Optimist Club members serve as the "chain gang" that measure and mark the ten-yard indicator for a first down.
They claim they have the best seats in the house. I have to say I agree. Congratulations to the Hereford Optimist Club Chain Gang.
The dinner recognition banquet will be held at the Boys and Girls Club on September 24. According to the Optimist Club this event is a great way to recognize individuals for the inspiration they provide to others, especially children, throughout the year.
Shown here is Robert Waggoner, Noontime Optimist Club of Camarillo's choice for Educator of the Year 2009.
Nothing says service like asking, "How can we help." In that spirit, the Optimist Club of Sandy, Oregon has added a page to their website specifically for that purpose. Their offer is meant for students in the Oregon Trail School District. Not only does it reinforce that their organization is a service club and open to all in need, it allows the potential recipient an expedient and private method to make their request.
Tip for the week: make your Optimist Club approachable - add a "What can we do for you" button to your website.
Raffles are a popular fundraising activity for many Optimist Clubs. This post is to highlight a dollhouse raffle for the Optimist Club of Baldwinsville, New York. The dollhouse was donated to the Optimist Club. Members will be selling tickets until October 10 when a lucky winner will be drawn at during the community's Octoberfest celebration.
Shown in this picture are Baldwinsville Optimist Club members Charlie Ebner (seated), Patricia Dickman and Donald Varn. While the primary purpose of hanging out in front of the M&T Bank is to sell raffle tickets, the side benefit is they get to talk about the great projects that the Optimist Club does in the community year-round. Good luck!
It's not the prettiest Optimist Club website, but it's effective. I reached the Optimist Club of Weatherford, TX by accident. Qwest for some reason gave me five choices from a mispelled URL and with one click, I landed on a club website that I might not have otherwise seen.
So what makes the Weatherford Optimist Club website effective? Authenticity! Meet Randall Grissom. He is the 51st president of this Optimist Club that was chartered in 1958. They pride themselves on being friends of youth. They conduct youth projects and provide a link to all of them along with pictures and contact information and you can see a list of other people who are proud to call themselves Optimist Club members. It is the real deal.
Slick, professionally built websites sometimes lack the heart and passion that can be found in our smaller efforts. I enjoy seeing both, but given the choice, I'll take passion anytime.
Does your Optimist Club issue a press release when a new member joins your ranks? Do you celebrate the event by giving them kudos, a little professional lift and boosting your club's image as well?
A press release allows your club to tell your own story.
A press release is an opportunity for your club to promote what's happening, be it a new member, a service project or a fundraising activity.
A press release establishes authority. It declares to the media and others that your club is the place to go for questions or actions on certain subjects.
I've seen a few press releases over the past months where new members are welcomed to Optimist Clubs in Albemarle, NC, Farmington, MI, and now Auburn Hills, MI. All have offered a picture of new Optimist Club member. All have shown the Optimist Club banner in the background. But this latest one showed something else to me: staying power, longevity and partnerships.
What made this one different? This press release was issued by the new member's employer, Genisys Credit Union. According to the story, Nicole Bowen was welcomed to the club by her supervisor and sponsor Linda Zabik. I know that Genisys supports the community and now I know they think that the Optimist Club is the club of choice. After all, they support it with two members.
In this case, Genisys Credit Union became the authority on the Optimist Club of Auburn Hills, MI; but that is okay. They share commitment and purpose and back both up with resources to help the community grow. What a great partner in service!
Optimist Clubs - entertainment or experience?
Have you ever given much thought to your decision making process? Do you think before your act or do you just reach for more and more, bigger and better? This video talks about choosing simplicity and savoring the experience instead of placing value on how it was delivered.
Optimist Clubs frequently fall into the delivery mindset. They choose projects that entertain a large number of kids without stopping to think about the experience that the child is having. Many times, the project becomes so large, the club spends most of its time on administration and less time with the children.
Don't let this happen to you. Choose your Optimist Club projects with quality time in mind. Children enjoy being entertained, but they yearn for attention. Children like to win, but they hunger for the reassurance that leads them to achieve. Your Optimist Club is unique as the only service club whose mission is to work hands-on with children and bring out the best in kids. That is how we share and experience optimism.
Here is another service club competition and this time children receive a direct benefit. Six service clubs in Gratiot and St. Louis Counties, Michigan competed in the Annual Sock Off. The winner is determined by the club that collects the most socks and under clothing for children.
The proud winner of the Golden Sock Award for 2009 is .... The Exchange Club. Also participating were the Optimist Club of Gratiot County, Alma/St. Louis Rotary, Breckenridge Rotary, Kiwanis Club, Exchange Club and Ithaca Rotary Club.
Together the clubs collected more than 2,000 pairs of new socks and underwear for the Back to School project. Now in its sixth year, the Back to School Project provides clothing and school supplies to children in an effort to ensure that they have the basic tools to succeed at school.
Some Optimist Clubs meet for a single purpose. They might host sports programs or raise money for pet projects. Single purpose clubs focus their meetings on reaching their predetermined goals. However, the traditional service club model followed by most Optimist Clubs is to meet regularly, usually every week, so that members can learn about their community. Networking, fellowship, club business and project planning take place; but perhaps the most rewarding part of the agenda is the opportunity to hear from community leaders, other organizations and individuals about their programs, projects and objectives that affect the quality of life in your community.
So when I tell you that the Optimist Club of Cerritos, CA recently welcomed Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci to a breakfast meeting where he talked about economic development, tax receipts and the City Redevelopment Agency, you will understand how important I believe club programs are to a strong a healthy Optimist Club.
Civic engagement is necessary and relevant to our personal and professional life. This allows us to direct our volunteer efforts to where they are needed most and are the best fit for our personalities. You might be wondering, how does economic development fit with Optimist International's mission to bring out the best in children? The quick answer is by ensuring a good quality of life; but the long answer would be Optimist Clubs do much more than bring out the best in children. We are civic partners and we provide services and support in our communites where and when they are needed.
When you get involved with an Optimist Club you serve children and adults - some you know and some you don't. You serve your community and ensure it is a great place to live today and tomorrow. You are needed; get involved, join an Optimist Club today.
The Rotary, Soroptimist and Optimist Clubs will challenge the reigning Kiwanis Club for the gold medal in the Second Annual Service Club Olympics in Fremont, Ohio. The event kicks off at 9:45 a.m., Sunday, September 13 in conjunction with the Joy of Living Farmer's Market in downtown Fremont.
Friendly competition will take place in Prescription Polo, Stimulus Shop Put, Carpet Curling, Brain Freeze Fencing and Try-athalon. No, I haven't a clue as to how they will be played, what the rules are or how competitors will be dressed (business suits, perhaps?), but I know it will be fun. Getting together with other service clubs and building cameraderie and community spirit is part of the joy of belonging to an service club. In addition to being given a gold medal and bragging rights, the winning organization will be awarded $500 for their cause.
Sharing pride and purpose is the cornerstone of an engaged community. There are no losers in this bunch!
Optimist Clubs are an opportunity for people to be involved in their community, provide service and give back something to society as a whole. They also provide avenues for social engagement and the opportunity for personal and professional development.
The Optimist Club of Conway, Arkansas has stepped outside the typical mold for an Optimist Club and helped start a new club for developmentally disabled adults in their city. The first of its kind, the Sunshine Optimist Club of Conway was organized on September 9, 2009 with 46 members. It is expected to grow to 55 or 60 members before closing the charter period on September 30.
Many of the newest Optimist Club members are already engaged in other clubs, churches, political advocacy, and Special Olympics. With mentoring and support from the local club, Jackie Fliss, Executive Director of Independent Living Services predicts the Sunshine Optimist Club will be successful. According to Optimist District Governor Mike Bess, it is a model that will be looked at for starting other Optimist Clubs around the world.
Children in Plymouth, Michigan look forward to this event all year for it is the one time that they get to stand in the spotlight with their pets, be it an iguana, dog, cat or hamster. Annually during the fall festival, the Optimist Club of Plymouth hosts a Pet Show.
Pre-registration is not required. All that is needed is enthusiasm and a pet. While all types of pets are welcome, Optimist member Jim Hutchings says that dogs far outnumber all others. The dogs also have the most award categories including longest ears, longest tail, best dressed and best tricks.
The Plymouth Fall Festival Pet Show is Saturday, September 12, 9:00 a.m. at the Main Stage, downtown Plymouth.
"It's always a great event," promised Hutchings. I bet it is. I hope they send me pictures.
I see a lot of different fund raising activities for a lot of different purposes. I really like this one for its simplicity and branding. The Slice of Life, hosted by the Optimist Club of West Knoxville, benefits the East Tennessee Children's Hospital and Childhood Cancer Research through a pizza tasting party. Each ticket purchased allows the ticketholder to sample and enjoy pizza. Who doesn't enjoy pizza?
According to the organizers, at least six pizza vendors are signed on to participate. The pizza tasters will also get the opportunity to vote for their favorite.
Tickets are reasonably priced at $10 for children 13 and over and adults; $5 for children 4 to 12; or a family pack (four or more) for $20. Children 3 and under will be given free cheese pizza slices.
The event will take place on Thursday, September 17, 6:00 to 8:00 pm, in the Farragut High School Commons.
Optimist International international encourages Optimist Clubs to conduct projects that benefit Childhood Cancer research. The international organization has donated almost $1 million to John Hopkins University. All proceeds from the Optimist Club of West Knoxville's Slice of Life pizza party will benefit the East Tennessee Children's Hospital and Childhood Cancer Research Institute.
It's that time of year when children are back in school, vacations are over and our thoughts return to personal and professional development. That's probably why so many clubs and organizations hold membership drives in the fall. In an article for the Kansas City Star, the director for the United Way in Wyandotte County described many of the service clubs in her community. "Join one and make a difference," Diane Hentges said.
A great suggestion, but I want to emphasize that not only do you help others when you join a service club, you also help yourself. There is that intangible, feel-good factor that lifts your spirits when you do something to lift others up, but there are also tangible benefits such as increasing your network of business acquaintances. Sometimes people will ask me why they need business associates if they don't have a product to sell. I always explain, but you buy things. Isn't it nice to buy from someone you know and trust?
When you join a service club you will also enhance your social circle and find new friends with similar goals and dreams. New friends open your life to more new opportunities. Don't miss out on a single one.
Are you ready to make a difference? I hope that you make the Optimist difference. Join an Optimist Club today.

Yes! Remembering the great tagline, "The Optimist difference...it's all in our name," allowed me to find others that are promoting that great message.
1. An Optimistic Attitude - Optimists believe that a positive approach can make all the difference in the world. Through hands-on community and youth programs, Optimists brighten spirits and create hope and confidence in the future. The Optimist Creed provides proof of the Optimists' philosophy.
2. Youth & Community Service - Along with the Optimists' motto, "Friend of Youth," comes the commitment to help, educate, inspire, and believe in tomorrow's future--our young people. Optimists believe that by investing in youth, we can ensure a better tomorrow.
3. Personal Development - Optimist Club members receive as much as they give. Optimists have endless opportunities to gain leadership experience and to grow personally and professionally. Optimists value the social and business relationships they develop with individuals from a cross section of their community.
Another is the Indiana South District of Optimist International. In addition to learning that the positive attitude is what differentiates Optimist Clubs from all others, they also tell you that the Optimist Clubs of the Indiana South District have served 104,203 children from October 1, 2007 to Sept 7,2009 at 04:11 pm. Kind of a fun, interactive tool to encourage you to find out how. When you click here you will not only learn how they do it, but how many children benefit from each activity. What a great touch.
Does your Optimist Club or District promote the Optimist Difference? Be sure to let me know so we can tell others. Thanks!
Sometimes I run into websites that tell the Optimist Club story in an unique way. Today I found one of those and I invite you to take a look at the Piper Creek Optimist Club of Red Deer, Alberta, CA with me.
Beginning at the home page, you will know that you want to be an Optimist Club member if you want to take a positive approach to life. They have kept an older tagline for Optimist International as their centerpiece: the Optimist difference...it's all in our name. I like it!

The City of Farragut, Tennessee has granted $2,500 to the Optimist Club of West Knoxville for a recycling program. What a great example of how an Optimist Club partners with their local communities to provide services that their citizens truly need. In this instance, the recycling program is targeted at recycling old, used electronics equipment.
Last year, the event garnered 213 tons of discarded equipment from 6,000 households. Getting the word out early and with the city support will probably bring in even more electronics gear this year. The event "Plug into your Community" will take place on January 9, 2010 at Farragut High School.
There is no cost to the public for disposing of items. Donations will be accepted to help subsidize the labor costs associated with disassembling and destroying the equipment. In case you are worried about a breach of security on your old computer, don't, says Optimist spokesperson Brian Osgood. All hard drives are shredded.
What a great way to be environmentally friendly and techno-savvy. Thank you for your service!
The Optimist Club of St. Simon's Island, Georgia is celebrating fifty years of serving their community this year. They recently held a party at the King and Prince Beach Resort where new and old-time members gathered for an evening of merriment. Thirteen past presidents and the original Optimist of the Year were present as was Charles. L. "Buck" Buckalew and his wife Marge.
Buck is the longest continuously serving member of the St. Simon's Optimist Club and the senior member of the Georgia District. He is also known as the chief of happiness because he always wears a smile. But the real story of this gentleman's optimistic life is best seen as the feature article in the Golden Isles Magazine. Click to the profile page of the Sept-Oct edition and read all about it. Then forward to page 62 and enjoy pictures from the Optimist Club's 50th anniversary celebration. It's a very nice tribute to the Optimist Club of St. Simon's Island.
Football season starts this week in Boise, Idaho when the Boise State Broncos take on the University of Oregon Ducks. That close rivalry will fuel football fever right into the weekend when the Boise Noon Optimist Football program kicks off at the Optimist Youth Sports Complex.
More than 8,000 children participate in this dynamic program at the multi-million dollar facility developed by the Boise Noon Optimist Club and the City of Boise. The football program began in 1949 and has always remained a volunteer program. Optimist teams are not arranged by skill, but instead by neighborhoods according to age, weight, and residence. The kids play an eight-week program and are coached by Optimist members and volunteers who return every year to instill good sportsmanship and leadership skills to these young athletes.
The Boise Noon Optimist Club provides opportunities for other nonprofit organizations to earn money manning the concession stands during the season. They have also expanded their program to adjoining communities by sponsoring new Optimist Clubs in Emmett, Horseshoe Bend, Mountain Home and Nampa, Idaho.
Over the past ten years, the Nampa Optimist Club Football program has grown in a similar manner and they also own and operate a facility in the neighboring community that serves another 4,000 kids.
These are great examples of how an Optimist Club can work with city officials,businesses, community leaders and volunteers to develop infrastructure and programming to meet the demands of a growing community. Beginning with football fields, the complex has added soccer fields, concession stands, playgrounds and most recently a tennis court. More tennis courts are planned for next summer and there is still room to grow. The community is grateful for the hard work of these dedicated volunteers. Thank you Optimist Clubs!
How many times a day does someone tell you have a good day? How many times do you repeat the refrain just to be polite and to finish the conversation? I wonder why it is that we only wish people a good day instead of a great day or a super day or the best day possible. It could be that we are afraid that they will have a better day than us. Or it might be that that the phrase has become merely a colloquialism, something said in passing that has lost true meaning.
I hope not. I prefer to live in a society that extends well wishes to others and that is why I have decided to always wish my friends, family and colleagues joy. Joy is the wish that tops all wishes. Formerly used primarily around the Christmas and New Year holidays, I hereby proclaim that joy should be experienced by all every day.
Yes, we need all the good things in our lives every day. Start every day with joy.


The Canberra International Music Festival is set once again to present a packed program spread between two weekends. Photos: Supplied.
This year's Canberra International Music Festival (CIMF) kicked off on Wednesday April 25 and is sure to delight and regale the city with its exciting ten-day program. Centred around the theme of 'Return', the program sports everything from highlights of the classical canon through to works by boundary-pushing contemporary composers.
There's certainly something on offer for everyone, with far too much going on to mention it all here. That's why we've handpicked a few items in particular that will help you find your groove and get the most out of this annual musical smorgasbord.
Cecilia Bernardini will perform and speak at Talk of the Town: The Violinists with Tim Fain on Saturday April 27.
If the idea of a music festival centred primarily around classical music makes you feel a level of uncertainty, fear not. There are plenty of opportunities over the two weekends to dip your toe into the festival's waters, as it were.
The Opening Gala on Friday April 27 provides the perfect taster of the festival. A tribute to Australia's First People, the performance features work by Canberra-based Indigenous composer, Brenda Gifford, programmed next to a series of Handel's arias and duets. It's an opportunity to see what all the fuss is about and figure out what lanes of the festival interest you.
The Talk of the Town series at Gorman House is another way to engage directly with the artists and the works being performed. The intimate setting will hear stories and conversations (and maybe even a few bars played) as you learn directly from the artists, all with a refreshment in your hand. Tickets for these talks are only $10, making them an ideal way to engage with the program for newcomers to the world of classical music.
If you're feeling a little more adventurous, and want to dive right in to some of the CIMF's more challenging moments, look no further than Ulysses Now on Wednesday May 3. Again exploring the festival theme of 'Return', the first half of the program features excerpts from Monteverdi's Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, a retelling of Ulysses return to his homeland. The second half focuses on the plight of refugees, with three powerful contemporary pieces including works for clarinet trio, piano trio, and Robert Davidson's Across the Water for cello and electronics. Set in the cavernous Fitter's Workshop in Kingston, Ulysses Now offers a unique musical experience, and may leave you with more questions than answers.
CIMF's Artistic Director Roland Peelman understands as well as anyone the role music plays in Canberra's cultural identity.
Nestling beautifully into the city, the CIMF this year spans a breadth of local venues, both traditional and unexpected. Head to the National Gallery of Australia from 12.45 pm on Thursday May 3 for Art For Lunch: A Piano Recital at the NGA. Reserve a space on the Taste of the Country tour that will take you around to some of the region's wineries and eateries while you enjoy performances along the way.
The festival also hosts a large contingent of local musicians. A festival highlight will be seeing Canberra soprano Chloe Lankshear take to the stage alongside local alto Tobias Cole for Handel's Israel in Egypt on Monday April 30.
Return to Basics will take us back to the concept of music as a foundational educational pillar on Friday May 4 by way of conversations with composers and artists, all within the walls of Canberra Grammar School.
The CIMF program is brimming with music set to delight young and old, but there are a few performances that the kids in particular will enjoy.
A special concert of children's favourite, Peter and the Wolf, on Sunday May 6 from 11 am – 12 pm will be sure to entertain and inspire the young and young-at-heart. A prelude will feature The Mad Hatter's Tea Party, performed by five musicians representing characters from Lewis Caroll's iconic book.
Rohan Dasika performed work by Benjamin Drury in the Turrell Sky Space last year.
It's important to keep in mind that performances at the CIMF are individually ticketed, and you'll need to purchase passes to attend the events that interest you. If you're keen to see absolutely everything the festival has to offer, look no further than an all-inclusive Festival Pass. However, a Choose Your Own Adventure Pass will admit you into five performances of your choosing from across eligible areas of the program, and score you a healthy 10 per cent discount on the lot.

There's no better 'pick' than "He & I" as far as I'm concerned. Great choice!
Beautiful picture…visually and spiritually! Love it!
I like what you've done to your blog and your header is fabulous .If there is one button I'd love to put on my blog it's yours .
That's a beautiful image, and what a marvelous reminder!
I'm SUCH a Martha — working myself to pieces, and then getting completely bent out of shape when no one notices.
This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible, and I always find myself nodding when it is read at Mass.
Thanks SO much for stopping by and playing along!

She Works Out Too Much
Remember when MGMT was, like, the next big hot thing? And then it turned out that they were too weird and eccentric to be major mainstream hitmakers, and the press was all like, "where did they go?" Well, they didn't go anywhere very far. They just stayed weird. Little Dark Age is their first record in five years, and an aptly titled one at that. It's not going to recapture the freak popularity of Kids, but nobody is asking for that anyway. It's exactly what you signed up for as an MGMT fan; it's humorous and spacey and catchy, psychedelic pop with a spring in its step. I don't know if it's going to become one of the most remembered records of the year, but certainly it was one of the most welcome upon arrival. It's happy music for unhappy times, and honestly, that's actually a lot to ask for.

Vote to ascertain a quorum to begin conducting business of the day
Meet Jon
Jon Santiago
Heroes on the front lines
Dr. Jon Santiago, the Massachusetts state legislature's only ER doc, reflects on what COVID is teaching us about emergency medicine
"Good morning everyone, it's about 7:45 on Monday, I just finished my third shift in a row in the ER."
The stubble shadow on Dr. Jon Santiago's face traces the exhaustion of this 37-year-old physician as he stands in his scrubs outside Boston Medical Center and offers yet another dispatch for a passionate social media following.
"As some of you may know, I've been working the last couple of weekends, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I'm able to watch the progression of how we treat and care for our COVID-19 patients."
Since he spoke those words back in early March, when the COVID-19 surge was beginning to flood emergency rooms across the city and state, this 37-year-old physician has logged 17 straight weekend shifts in the ER at Boston Medical Center.
"The situation in this state has improved," he said recently. "We don't have many hospitals undergoing surge capacity. Still, there are a couple of red flags: Given the re-opening of the economy and the massive demonstrations we've seen in the wake of the George Floyd killing, thousands of people have been in close contact, and I'm not seeing the level of interest when it comes to wearing masks or practicing social distancing. These are all very concerning things to me, because a second surge could well be deadlier than the first -- that was the case in the 1918 pandemic."
There is an Ishmael-like quality to Jon Santiago's posts from the front lines of the COVID pandemic. He has assumed the role of narrator in the local struggle to battle a virus already mythic in its lethal reach across the globe.
Dr. Santiago's posts provide an unfiltered account of what it's like to go up against an invisible menace, one for which we have no vaccine, and one that has already claimed more lives in a few short months than were lost in the last few wars.
Yet long before COVID-19 exposed the holes in our delivery of healthcare, before personal protective equipment became part of our vocabulary and facemasks part of our daily wardrobe, Dr. Jon Santiago had already chosen to practice medicine on the front lines. For this ER physician, born in Puerto Rico and raised in subsidized housing in the South End, the ER at "City" was more than the only place he wanted to practice medicine. It was where he needed to practice medicine.
He had traveled abroad on a Fulbright Scholarship, joined the Army Reserves and received his degree from Yale Medical School. Yet there was one thing he knew for sure: Well before the novel coronavirus radically redefined the medical landscape, Jon Santiago believed, "The ER was essentially the place where failed public policy presents itself."
In other words, what he saw in the ER was the failure of a larger world of politicians and lawmakers to provide answers for why the multiple scourges of guns, gang violence, drugs, poverty and homelessness always play out in the ER.
The fear and terror he sees in the eyes of gunshot victims, or the desolation on the faces of the homeless who either drift, or are ferried in off the street to ask "Where do I go? I have no home," convinced Santiago that the care he was giving could only do so much and go so far. Having already involved himself in his South End community, Santiago chose to run for the Ninth District seat in 2018.
Now, the dual roles of ER doctor and state representative provide Santiago with a singular ability to assess the pandemic from the inside out.
As a physician, he can look into the desperate eyes of a COVID patient who wants to know, "Am I going to die?" or "Will I go home again"? He can take his place beside colleagues working 12- and 13-hour shifts, risking their own lives in the process of intubating the old and young in the throes of COVID-19.
As a politician, he can express his frustration at how this pandemic has been misrepresented by some.
"We can't have leaders of the country spewing nonsense and lying about quick fixes and miracle cures," Santiago said. "It works against everything we're trying to do."
Social distancing is crucial. Wearing a mask is crucial. We don't know what lies ahead, but pretending this will, somehow all fade away in the summer, or by the fall…that is irresponsible as well as dangerous.
Up in the marbled corridors of the State House, he joins the state's effort to flatten the curve. Though that curve appears to be heading in the right direction of late, the death toll is still staggering.
On that not so distant morning in March when Jon Santiago came off the last of his three shifts in the ER, Suffolk County had registered 617 Covid cases with 78 deaths.
Barely more than two months later, those numbers had ballooned to 17,873 reported cases in Suffolk County alone and 868 deaths.
"Although we have been able to beat back the surge," Jon Santiago said recently, "we are still on a tenuous plateau. The overall numbers are encouraging, but there are still hard-hit places that have yet to be adequately addressed.
"My concern," he said, "is that the possibility of a second surge is not only very real but probable, considering the experiences of other countries and states. A vaccine is still many months away."
At the moment, the young doctor and state rep finds himself at the crossroads, caught between two different viruses: the pandemic of Covid-19 and the epidemic of race.
"I think it's important to recognize the disproportionate impact the coronavirus has had on communities of color," Jon Santiago said. "The fact that black men like George Floyd are still being murdered in police custody is a symptom of systemic racism, no less daunting than the novel coronavirus before us."
A healer welcomes a new weapon in pandemic battle
ER Dr. Jon Santiago says we could see 'a surge on top of surge' by mid- to end of January
Here's what one ER doctor says is a 'big difference' between the first and second COVID-19 surges in

Featured Stories Kyle Busch returns to Victory Lane at Bristol
Kyle Busch returns to Victory Lane at Bristol
By SM Staff
It was a repeat performance for the 2009 winner of the Camping World truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway as Kyle Busch led 116 of 206 laps Wednesday night in the Thunder Valley.
Busch qualified on the pole, but when the team had a concern about a possible engine problem, they went under the hood. Because of that, Busch was forced to start at the tail end of the field. He fought hard and within 35 laps he had moved up within the top 25, on a restart on lap 37, he lined up behind the #10 truck of Jennifer Jo Cobb. As they entered turns 3 and 4 it appeared that Cobb was not running as fast as Busch wanted. As they exited turn 4, Busch put the bumper to Cobb, sending the #10 truck spinning on the inside apron. Following that caution, Busch continued his run to the front.
By lap 50, the #18 truck was in fifth place and putting the pressure on Mike Skinner, the leader in the #5 Exide Toyota. By lap 91 Busch took the top spot and stayed there for the duration, fighting off challenges by Timothy Peters, Aric Almirola, Elliott Sadler, Ron Hornaday and Mike Skinner.
The race seemed to last forever as 13 caution flags 71 laps and one late race red flag that lasted 8 mins and 47 seconds on lap 204. The race wound up ending on lap 206 with a yellow/checker after the caution came out after Busch had taken the white flag on a green/white/checker situation.
A lap 198 crash involving six trucks was the eventual cause for the red flag. Involved in the wreck were the #4 of Ricky Carmichael, # 7 of Justin Lofton, #52 of Ken Schrader, #77 of Miguel Paludo, #81 of David Starr and the #92 of Dennis Setzer. The crash ended the night for both Starr and Schrader who both were treated and released at the infield care center.
Finishing second behind Busch was Aric Almirola, followed by Ron Hornaday Jr., Mike Skinner and Justin Lofton, the top finishing rookie. Rounding out the top 10 were series points leader Todd Bodine, Brad Keselowski, Timothy Peters, Miguel Paludo and Matt Crafton.
Ron Hornaday Jr. advanced one position in the points, to fifth as well as Matt Crafton moving up to sixth. Leading rookie of the year candidate Austin Dillon dropped two spots to 7th. Bodine still enjoys a healthy points lead over Almirola, but that lead was cut to 211 points by virtue of Almirola's second place finish.

Someone was asking for Photoshop help the other day. I know a little bit about Photoshop. Not much, I admit, but I have fun playing with it. I had it on my computer for a while, and I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't even know where to start. That's when I found a free online course to teach me Photoshop Basics. I think it was just called Beginning Photoshop, and it really did start me at the beginning and help me know where to start and how to do some very basic things in Photoshop. Now whenever I check, I usually see intermediate or advanced Photoshop courses, and one of these days I am going to sign up and take one of them.
I usually don't see the Beginning class offered, so tonight I went looking for one and found this Adobe Photoshop Basics course that looks very helpful.
Adobe Photoshop Basics is a free online class consisting of eight self-paced lessons that will give get you up and running with a good start. It won't teach you all there is to know about Photoshop--that can take years--but it will give you a solid foundation that you can build on though online tutorials, third-party books, or other training.

More than 400 people gathered in Long Beach to hear Bresee give the Friday night keynote address at the camp meeting. He opened his sermon with the question: "Behold, we have forsaken all and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?"⁴ The sermon's title, "No Cross, No Crown," addressed this question, but also anticipated a deeper challenge. Later, at age 58, Bresee would resign from the security of his life in Methodism to follow his heart's call to preach the gospel to the poor. He would eventually bring many Holiness people under the large ecclesial tent of the Church of the Nazarene.
In another sermon, he explained that the baptism of the Holy Spirit "imparts power to the soul," not for greatness but for emptiness.
Bresee's understanding of selfemptying as integral to holiness grew over the course of his life and crystallized in his later years as he observed how this principle applied to Scripture and to his own spiritual journey.
Bresee, who did not disclose much in his sermons, revealed on one occasion how his religious upbringing differed from this later understanding.
Bresee later wrote that, "God's great call is not to usefulness, it is unto holiness."¹⁴ So what accounts for this change? It was not an intellectual exercise in theology but a profound encounter with a holy God.
In 1866, on a blustery winter night in Chariton, Iowa, Bresee said, "I threw myself down across the altar" because "my religion did not meet my needs."¹⁵ Buffeted by waves of disgruntled parishioners and barraged by storms clouds of doubt, Bresee "prayed and cried to the Lord."¹⁶ God met his need, and he received "the baptism with the Holy Ghost."¹⁷ In his words, the experience "took away my tendencies to worldliness, anger and pride, but it also removed the doubt."¹8 Bresee later described this experience as his entire sanctification.
Perhaps when Bresee preached at the holiness camp meeting in 1885, he may have thought he was in his second act: that what he had lost in the first act would now be restored, that the warm reception into the conference would be the rising tide to lift him out of chaos onto shore. God would do more in Bresee's life than turn the tables; He would lift his servant's gaze to new heights of glory.
Bresee's visionary encounter strengthened him to endure the greatest trial of his life of losing his place within Methodism and for the pioneering efforts that followed.
And yet, Bresee encountered among Southern California Methodists an increasing hostility toward holiness as well as resentment among "Come outers," those who had left Methodism, toward those who had stayed in. The more he poured out love and prayers, and tears and testimonies upon them, the more it only fortified their defenses.³0 In a poignant testimony, Bresee disclosed how he suffered brokenness and betrayals by those he had once held close.
Bresee's life inspired a movement because God moved him from death to life. His life marked history because the Holy Ghost had first conformed his life to his message of preaching holiness to the poor. Bresee faithfully bore the stigma of reproach; and in displacement, his testimony grew stronger and more powerful. Because Phineas Bresee embraced the cross as he followed his Lord, this "Prince in Israel" entered glory to receive the crown of life. No cross, no crown!

Theorizing media, communication and social change: towards a processual approach
posted on 24.08.2018, 10:40 by Sabina MiheljSabina Mihelj, James StanyerJames Stanyer
Debates about the role of media and communication in social change are central to our discipline, yet advances in this field are hampered by disciplinary fragmentation, a lack of shared conceptual language, and limited understanding of long-term shifts in the field. To address this, we first develop a typology that distinguishes between approaches that foreground the role of media and communication as an agent of change, and approaches that treat media and communication as an environment for change. We then use this typology to identify key trends in the field since 1951, including the sharp downturn in work focusing on economic aspects of change after 1985, the decline of grand narratives of social change since 2000, and the parallel return to media effects. We conclude by outlining the key traits of a processual approach to social change, which has the capacity to offer the basis for shared language in the field. This language can enable us to think of media, communication and social change across its varied temporal and social planes, and link together the processes involved in the reproduction of status quo with fundamental changes to social order.
