Benny and Joon and a Good Look at Schizophrenia
by Bruce Chadwick
Bruce Chadwick lectures on history and film at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He also teaches writing at New Jersey City University. He holds his PhD from Rutgers and was a former editor for the New York Daily News. Mr. Chadwick can be reached at bchadwick@njcu.edu.
How do you stage a charming musical about schizophrenia? Was there ever a dimmer, sadder and troubling topic for a play?
Just ask the folks who run the Paper Mill Playhouse, in Millburn, New Jersey, where the new musical Benny and Joon opened on Sunday. It is delightful look at modern schizophrenia with three stars who are not only entertaining, but work hard to exam schizophrenia and talk about it on stage with candor, and with smiles, too.
Benny and Joon is the musical version of the 1993 movie of the same name that starred Johnny Depp. Schizophrenia was such a controversial topic in that year that the word schizophrenia was never mentioned in the script. Now, thankfully, it is.
Benny and Joon are brother and sister (he's early twenties and she's 20 or so). Joon suffers from schizophrenia and was a handful for her parents. They were killed in a cars crash when Benny was 18. Now, with them gone, Benny, who runs a car repair shop, has to raise her. All of a sudden, after a bad night playing poker, Benny has to provide room and board for a kooky young man, Sam, who comes to live with them. Sam, who wears and odd- looking hat, sees himself as the re-incarnation of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton and mimics them. In one nice bit he uses dinner rolls as people and has them dance.
It starts with Sam's arrival. Joon is relentless in her schizophrenic behavior and although Benny loves her to death, she drives him crazy. He faces the very real possibility of putting her into a group home with other mentally ill people. Joon, of course, wants to keep living with him and continue her amateurish career as a painter. He does not know what to do and consults Joon's psychiatrist.
The story of the play is Benny's fear of putting Joon into a home or, later in the play, a mental institution. Throughout the story, Joon exhibits numerous schizophrenic tendencies. She is moody, very happy and then very sad, convinced people are trying to hurt her, fearful of what will happen to her. She's impulsive. She doesn't listen to people. She' argumentative, possessive. There is no typical schizoid, but Joon exhibits the qualities of many people seen as such.
Yet, though all of this you love her.
Kirsten Guenther wrote the book and the music and lyrics are by Nolan Gasser and Mindi Dickstein. They use their words and songs to suggest that while Joon might need help, she may not need all of the help that people suggest. They also get you to root for Joon. Isn't she like so many quirky people we all know? Don't put her away, people will say, just put up with her.
Sam, as he bops around the stage in a very goofy way, starts to admire, and then love, Joon. It's an improbable relationship, to be sure, but so what? Where will they live, Benny asks his sister? The answer, as she frets, is well, who knows. We'll get by.
Big brother Benny is scared to death. He is so, so worried about his sister and needs to protect her. What he's going to do?
The success of the play is the work of the three stars, Claybourne Elder as Benny, Hannah Elless as Joon and Bryce Pinkham as the slightly nutty but thoroughly adorable Sam. They play their characters as lovable people trying to ward off schizophrenia.
The story is not about schizophrenia, but how it affects the families of its victims. It is the story, too, about how all mental illnesses affect families. We need more of these stories. There are tens of thousands of moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and have been throughout history, who have to live with and cope with mentally ill people. It is a struggle and Benny and Joon shows that in a majestic way. You need to love and support the victims of mental illness, not just toss them into a group home.
The music in Benny and Joon is OK, but none of the songs are memorable. Together, though, they create a nice atmosphere for the story. Some of the songs are painful, as they help to tell the story of the brother and sister and their wacky friend Sam.
The show's director, Jack Cummings III, gets fine work from his stars, Elder, Elless and Pinkham, but also gets fine performances from the other actors in the play - Colin Hanlon, Paolo Montalban, Conor Ryan, Natalie Toro, Jacob Keith Watson, and Tatiana Wechsler.
Schizophrenia is a relatively new illness, not named by Doctors until 1908. Medical specialists today see schizophrenics as people with split personalities. They are, in general, wildly eccentric, believe other people are trying to get them to do things, feel slightly paranoid and see themselves embattled against just about everybody.
Benny and Joon, in the end, is both a sobering look at schizophrenics and a wonderful look at a pair of siblings who fight and feud, with the troubles of schizophrenia added, but, through it all, love each other.
We need more plays like this one. And more Bennys and Joons in this world, too.
PRODUCTION: The play is produced by the Paper Mill Playhouse. Scenic and Costume Design: Dane Laffrey, Sound: Kai Harada, Lighting: R. Lee Kennedy., choreography: Scott Rink. The play is directed by Jack Cummings III. It runs through May 5.

UPDATE FROM COUNCIL 04/09/2019
For representation at the SGM on the 7th of September 2019, prior to the council meeting.
Amended Financials for the year ended 31 March 2019 (Password protected. 2019-2020 season password)
Letter to members pertaining to the financials (Password protected. 2019-2020 season password)
Council would like to progress with the current situation of Mrs. Sloan's nomination for President of NZMHA in the 2019 Elections.
Mrs. Sloan's original letter (or copy thereof) of resignation from The Lower North Island Miniature Horse Club has still not been sent to the NZMHA Secretary [as requested several times] - but as a show of faith and a willingness to move forward we will accept the email from the LNIMHC Secretary that the resignation was received and acted on by the club and therefore let Mrs. Sloan's nomination stand.
The current voting papers will still be valid - however should you wish to amend papers you have already sent to the JP please contact the NZMHA Secretary and some specially marked duplicate papers will be sent to you.
This is an appropriate time to remind all clubs and members to update and maintain all records / minutes / Incorporated Societies and Facebook pages when any changes are made and advise NZMHA of these changes if necessary.
Please address any correspondence on this matter to Council via email thank you
It has been brought to our attention that Mrs D Sloan who has been nominated for the position of President of NZMHA is recorded by Incorporated Societies as President of The Lower North Island Miniature Horse Club (Society Number 2683731)
Article 10 Rule 9 of NZMHAs constitution clearly states that it is not possible for a person to hold a position on the committee of a Miniature Horse related organisation that is not recognised by NZMHA.. The Lower North Island Miniature Horse Club is not recognised by NZMHA. Clearly therefore Mrs Sloan is ineligible under NZMHA's rules to hold, and therefore to be nominated for, a position on NZMHA Council. The secretary of NZMHA has asked both Mrs Sloan and the secretary of The Lower North Island Miniature Horse Club numerous times to provide written proof of her formal resignation and a copy of Meeting Minutes, showing that Mrs Sloan no longer holds any position with the AIMS affiliated club. At this time NZMHA has not received any such confirmation. Clearly therefore, and given prior rulings to this effect, Council has no option but to deem Mrs Sloan ineligible for election to NZMHA Council.
The membership is therefore hereby advised that as Mr Aaron Harrison is the sole valid nomination for the position of President he will be declared as elected unopposed at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on the 6th July 2019
Financials as at 31/12/2018
Balance sheet (2018-2019 season password)
As many of you will be aware the President of NZMHA had accepted the resignation of Helen Miekle the Association Treasurer.
Under Article 10.5, Council has appointed Bronwyn Van Roon to the position. Bronwyn has a wealth of knowledge about the requirements having been in the position previously and should ensure a smooth transition.
Council wishes to thank Helen for her valuable contribution to the NZMHA and wish her well for the future.

COUNCIL STATEMENT 28/07/2017
NZMHA Council is pleased to welcome Melinda Doyle as a coopted member to Council. Melinda joins our team under Article 10.6 of our Constitution and will be providing support with obtaining Constitutional opinion and supporting the Focus Groups when they find elements in the Constitution that may require remits to change them. Please join the Council team in welcoming Melinda. We look forward to working with her to move forward and secure the future of NZMHA.
RAS Ruling re: Helmets for Riding & Harness Driving
Safety Helmets must be used at all RAS shows for driving minis with immediate effect, however NZMHA are not going to enforce this for NZMHA shows this year and will discuss whether a change to our Constitution is required should members wish to apply it in the 2018/19 season and beyond. Members intending to do harness classes at A&P shows are asked to note the rules in the RAS Safety Helmet memo which reviews Questions & Answers on the subject. There is also clarification on compliant helmets for A&P Shows. The RAS safety and helmet memo documentation can be viewed on the R.A.S Notices page
Council Statement RE: 2017 SGM
The NZMHA Constitution states in Article 10:2: "All Council members (with the exception of Regional Delegates) shall be elected by regular members by postal ballot to take place not more than 31 days prior to the Annual General Meeting. All Council members (including Regional Delegates) shall be appointed for a period commencing with their election at Annual General Meeting and shall retire at the next succeeding Annual General Meeting, but may stand for re-election at that time. If the number of persons nominated for election to membership of the Council or position does not exceed the number of vacancies in that membership to be filled; i. the Secretary shall report accordingly to; and ii. the President shall declare those persons to be duly elected as members of the Council at the Annual General Meeting concerned."
The key points being: "shall be elected by regular members by postal ballot to take place not more than 31 days prior to AGM" and "shall be appointed for a period commencing with their election at AGM and shall retire at next AGM."
Council have received legal opinions regarding the request for a Special General Meeting presented at the AGM. These and historical legal opinions, confirm that the requested purpose for which the SGM has been requested is unconstitutional.
One opinion further suggested that any meeting must comply with the Constitution and as the subject matter proposed does not, it cannot be a valid meeting and should anything be decided, it will be invalid.
We have contacted all those who signed the request asking that they withdraw the said request in order to avoid unnecessary costs to our Association
Welcome back to a new Council year and the start of a very busy time for many of you with the run up to finalising stallion returns and preparing for the foaling season. I would like to welcome the new Council team and thank them for volunteering their time to work through the financial, constitutional and process challenges facing NZMHA this season. Council is pleased to advise that, under Article 10.10 of the Constitution, we have appointed Allan Tonner to the role of Treasurer to help us through the financial review, potential audit and challenging financial times ahead. We are grateful to Allan for stepping up to this challenge and offering his considerable experience as a prior NZMHA Treasurer (plus much more)to help us out. We are also pleased to confirm the appointment of Nicola Bancroft, who Council considered elected unopposed, due to her providing evidence that the tracked nomination she had couriered was scheduled to arrive prior to 5pm Friday, but was not received until Monday. As a result of concerns, raised by a couple of members, that the nomination had been accepted incorrectly, Council decided to officially appoint Nicola to the role of Secretary, as per Article 10.10, given no other nominations had been received for the position.
As many of you are aware, this past year highlighted a few breaks in our internal process and this, together with our significant financial loss, has created a big divide in our Association. Despite the disruption this has caused within, our dedicated Council members have stepped up to the challenge and committed to work together with members to resolve the issues and move forward. Contact details for, and a brief introduction to, each team member will follow in a separate post.
It is always disappointing to see in-fighting in clubs as it tends to deter new members, make current members leave and certainly scares off potential donors. It is for that reason that you will not see Council publicly commenting on public FaceBook posts. Council are working on the NZMHA Public FaceBook page; the NZMHA Discussion Group (old Remit Discussion pages) and a series of NZMHA Future Focus Group pages, which you will hear more about in the coming weeks. Mistakes have been made in the past, but to fix them, we must set aside the accusations and blame and move forward. We are now looking to identify how these lapses in process occurred and what changes we can implement to improve controls and reduce the chance of oversight. Council hope to overcome the personality clashes that exist within the association and address some of the concerns causing upset, to allow us all to move forward and create a better future for NZMHA.
Of course, given the last financial year, there is a significant focus on income and expenditure. Several members have been in contact with myself and other Council members with suggestions to help either increase revenue or reduce costs. Many of these have been positive workable ideas, and we thank those who have come up with constructive ways to improve NZMHA and offer their time to assist in the recovery. Council has been working hard to identify which ideas can be implemented immediately and are committed to making the necessary changes to prevent similar issues occurring in future years.
In the past week, the team has been working through many housekeeping matters and preparing for the season ahead. Over the next few weeks you will see us calling for members to support various cost savings initiatives and changes to the Constitution. Council has not had a chance to talk through each of them in detail but are looking to make changes in Tinytales; Governance & Meetings; Show Rules; Registry, Show Scoring and much more. A Focus Group will be set up for each and the most relevant cross mix of members will be asked to work with the Council team to create questionnaires, review options and make recommendations. Several members have already offered their assistance and we are grateful for their help. As many of these will require constitutional changes, a Constitution Review team will be established to consider how we get the required changes through the Constitution and draft any remits required.
As you can see there are many positive things being worked, as well as a few negatives which we are working through as well. Council is committed to seeing this season through and will welcome any feedback, positive ideas for change and offers of support from members. To those of you who are expecting foals – all the very best, we hope all goes well and we look forward to seeing photos in the not too distant future.
Council has contacted the Privacy Commission and are aware we could breach certain privacy rules by allowing wholesale access to records/information without the full permission of all members involved . We will therefore be very mindful of this and will only allow information about the member requesting said information and not about other members. Individuals can only access information about themselves under the Privacy Act, not information about others. For example, at a committee meeting decisions may have been made about various members. The requester can only get the information that is about him or her. The society must withhold information about other members unless they expressly agree to the information being made available.
Due to the weather related issues many members have had to deal with since Nationals, Council have decided to extend the closing date for signed Remits to be with the Secretary by one full week. They are now due by 5pm, Saturday 15th April.
Announcement on Public Liability Insurance Availability to Affiliated Clubs:
NZMHA council is pleased to advise that we have broadened our public liability insurance to cover all NZMHA affiliated clubs. With immediate effect, affilliated clubs will be able to take advantage of our public liability indemnity cover of $5,000,000 for NZMHA related activity as well as statutory liability cover which covers costs associated with unintentional breaches of statute for example Health & Safety - such as insurable fines, defence costs and any repair expenses. For the current policy year, NZMHA will cover all costs and will discuss the policy benefits with Affiliated Club Executive toward the end of the subscription year to determine whether all feel the benefit is sufficient for continuing across future years and what payment options are available. Our initial analysis has shown that insuring as a group has significant financial advantages for the overall membership and makes sure that our members are adequately protected at show events.
The following statement is regarding the resolution of the ongoing dispute and is for 2016/2017 Financial Members only.
Statement (Password protected. Contact any council member for the password)
Agreement (Password protected. Contact any council member for the password)
All fees have stayed the same for 2016/17 season with the exception of long standing members of 15 years or more who get a 10% discount (membership fee only) on their membership this is to be applied after any other discount they may be entitled to such as Gold card.
Council have been alerted that a number of posts have been made in relation to the Social Media policy and that we have been asked to respond to some of the concerns raised. Unfortunately, Council cannot respond to unofficial posts on non-NZMHA sites as many members are not on those sites. We do, however, respond to questions on the official NZMHA site, although we are not always able to provide immediate attention so do be patient. We are looking at the feasibility of establishing a members only site for critical discussion.
We assure members that, as always, Council only have the best interests of NZMHA in mind with the introduction of this policy. Inappropriate commentary has been a constant complaint from members and has been on the agenda for many Council meetings. The final version of the Policy was submitted to the AGM for consideration because Council felt it was a topic that would have widespread impact.. A key reason for this Policy was the introduction of the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 which introduced a number of changes to several other pieces of legislation in July 2015.. Council had received a number of complaints /concerns about members inappropriate personal comments and some clubs stated that negative comments had cost them sponsorship. We note that some members feel we did not follow correct process in introducing the policy - we believe we did - but Council is more than happy to discuss any specific concerns and take them to the next meeting. Council can only act on feedback given - those we spoke to felt we did not do anything inappropriate, but obviously this has hit a nerve with some of the membership.
Council are not trying to "gag" anyone - rather we are trying to foster a more positive and constructive environment in which we can grow the association. Members are just asked to be less nasty to other members in their posts. Some individuals are going through major life events and a harsh, thoughtless attack on Facebook could push them over the edge. Individuals have a duty of care to consider the feelings of others when submitting posts on Facebook. Many ex members and sponsors have provided feedback that they have left NZMHA due to the constant online negativity and bickering that seems to be the mode of operating for some - several of whom are not even NZMHA members. This shows NZMHA in a bad light and needs to stop. We understand that not everyone agrees with current Council's approach to leading NZMHA - however we are making progress- we made the first profit in a few years and had a very positive National Show despite thinking that it was going to be a failure due to so much negativity. Most Council members have received strong messages of support from those members who appreciate the progress being made. Whilst we will admit to not being perfect - we do feel we have made a positive start to our tenure.
Council agrees that the text on the renewal form does not read correctly and apologies for this - "more haste, less speed" they say and in this case - they were right. We do not expect members to accept ad hoc changes to the Social Media Policy - that was a bad adjustment of an existing clause. We are looking to leave the original wording and add another sentence where members agree to abide by the current Social Media policy.. A revised form will be available in the next few days once Council have had a chance to review the changes. This will hopefully resolve your concerns. Whilst Council does not agree we are a "dictatorship", we have committed to make sure that the Social Media Policy is enforced, and if that means that one or two members are suspended for inappropriate comments - then that is unfortunate. Be assured that we will work within the confines of our Constitution therefore due process will be followed.
Finally - a request was made to define derogatory - there are many definitions - but a very basic one is showing you have no respect for somebody or something - usually in a disrespectful way. Probably the best guidance can be found in the sites that provide information on the Harmful Digital Communications Act for cyberbullying and online harassment (https://www.netsafe.org.nz/cyberbullying-and-online-harassment/)
The Act sets out:
* new measures to help victims, and to simplify the process for getting harmful communications off the internet quickly and effectively (for example, establishing the approved agency and court-ordered takedown notices, and outlining a complaints handling process that online content hosts must use if they want the protection of the "safe harbour" provision)
* new criminal offences to penalise the most serious perpetrators (for example, the new criminal offences of causing harm by posting harmful digital communications).
At it's core the Act lays out 10 communications principles which define the criteria for which any digital communication may be deemed harmful.
They establish that communications should not be threatening, intimidating or menacing; grossly offensive; indecent or obscene; or denigrating of a person's race, gender, sexual orientation or disability. The principles also encompass any encouragement for another person to create harmful communication.
A breach of one of the principles alone is not enough to take action however, the target must also be able to show that they were caused serious emotional distress.
Alongside the new legislation laid out in the Harmful Digital Communications Act, a number of consequential changes have been made to other legislation. These include;
* Changes to the Crimes Act relating to assisting and abetting Suicide (You can read more about this here)
* Changes to the Harassment Act to further define harassment, to include electronic communications and to change some conditions around restraining orders
* Changes to the Human Rights Act to include electronic communications and other fora
* Changes to the Privacy Act that amend some of the privacy principles and change the conditions related to collection, use and disclosure of information related to domestic affairs.
All Council is trying to do is prevent unnecessary unpleasantness and make for a better association.
Motion Moved at AGM

During the past year, Council have been pursuing the resolution of an ongoing registry matter from 2014. This week, NZMHA received a notice of hearing before the Disputes Tribunal at Masterson District Court for a sum of up to $15,000. This is set for September 2016.
The Council believes they have acted in the best interests of the Members and will continue to do so by rigorously defending this action. We wish to confirm that no legal costs have been incurred by the current Council.
As the matter is before the Disputes Tribunal, no further discussion will be held.
Newsflash 02/07/2016
Remit 27 has been withdrawn as moved by NZMHA Council. There will be ONE remit going forward for Speciality Halter Class - NZ Bred and that is Remit 3, which we hope will give the remit the best chance of success. The JP will be advised of the withdrawal.
Limited NZMHA Joining Offer for Paid Up Members of NZMHA Affiliated Clubs
NZMHA Council has agreed that, in the run up to the end of the season, we will offer a special incentive to members of our Affiliated Clubs who are not yet members of NZMHA, to encourage them to join us and be able to participate in the fun of Showcase shows and competitions, access Stud Book Online, read our wonderful Tiny Tales publication and benefit from the additional discounts we plan to secure as we develop our Member Discount program.
We have listened to the feedback received from clubs and understand that it can be difficult for members to gather the funds necessary to join and pay the annual subscription. To assist with that, for a limited period only, Council has decided to provide a rebate for the joining fee to allow fully paid up members of NZMHA affiliated clubs to join NZMHA on completion of the Membership Application. All that these members will need to pay is a pro-rata subscription payment of $12.50 for all classes of membership. No other discount will be applied. This is not available to those Members who have been paid up Members of NZMHA within the last twelve months.
New members will receive electronic versions of the Constitution and Rules of the Association. They will also receive the final Tiny Tales issue for the year and the 25 Year Breeding Calendar as well as access to Studbook Online. We will also extend the Prize Giving Dinner discount should the member wish to attend the AGM and Dinner. Save more than $50 and take advantage of this special trial offer. Special Membership forms are on the website and are available from Council if required. 2016/17 membership subscriptions will be due as normal.
In regard to the change of date for Showcase One, Council gave consideration to the following factors before making a decision that it felt would be in the best interests of all NZMHA members and in particular the members of Region One.
1. A previous Council extended the Region One Southern Boundary to the Auckland harbour Bridge which meant that a number of previously Region Two members are now included. The Showcase Show should allow members from the Southern part of that region and other Southern regions to have timely access to the show.
2. Most weekends during the show season, apart from long weekends, have A & P shows and Council is duty bound to avoid clashing with these.
3. For members who wish to travel North from anywhere south of Warkworth and Puhoi on a long weekend road, congestion is a major problem with serious delays commencing the Friday of the holiday is on a Monday. Traffic in the Warkworth area is becoming an increasing problem as outlined in todays N Z Herald article by Andrew Scoggins.
4. Showcase Shows held later in the show season always have the potential to attract additional foal entries and the more horses at any show help, not only in the funding of a show, but do give more competition for members and make for a far better show.
The Council therefore decided to hold to Showcase Show for Region One on 4/5 March 2017 nearly four weeks prior to the National Show. Whilst this is later than the show has been held in previous years we trust that our members will understand the reasons for the change of date.

Statement from NZMHA Council: It is with regret Council find ourselves having to respond to the public statement made by Colleen Sands' resignation of her Region 4 NZMHA Delegate Position. In light of requests from Members, Council would like to advise the series of events that has led to this outcome.
Council felt the need to take action after Colleen's public posts about feeling compromised in relation to her Council position, alleged leaking of information and comments made by Members This is the series of events::
• In early September, Colleen publicly posted a Facebook comment that she felt compromised on Council - with no discussion with any Council Members. Subsequent to this post, Council started to hear allegations of information being leaked. Council decided to ask Colleen for an explanation.
• NZMHA President, Vicky Parker, wrote to Colleen advising of concerns raised and requesting a response. Vicky advised, should Colleen be unhappy on Council, she could resign her position, however, if she chose to stay, she must adhere to Council rules or risk breaching Article 16.2, which would be met with strict adherence to Article 9.
• Colleen's response to this letter was not to contact Vicky nor engage with Council to counter or refute the alleged breaches, but instead to appoint a lawyer who advised NZMHA Council to take no action without hearing from him.
• After almost a month of no response, Vicky wrote to the lawyer on 10/10/15. advising that with no response, Council had no option but to restrict Colleen's privileges so could he please respond.
• Nothing more had been heard from Colleen until her resignation was received by Council on 11/12/15. Council regret Colleen has felt the need to make this public, but we stand by the decisions we made. This Council takes confidentiality and trust seriously and will request ANY and ALL Council members to respond to any alleged breach of Council confidence.
Council would like to thank Colleen for her service to NZMHA over the past several years.
This is the first and final statement Council will make on this matter.

Council has noted the recent communications circulating on FaceBook with regards to the nomination of Carolyn Crow as Regional Delegate for Region 1 and wish to post the following statement in response. We hope that this will stop the speculation and provide closure to the matter.
Council would like to make it clear that decisions on Carolyn's nomination as Regional 1 delegate were not made by Council prior to today's meeting. In addition, no Council Member was advised of the potential for a Special General Meeting being called as a result of this nomination until the FaceBook messages started.
Council Members present acknowledged that Carolyn Crow would be a welcome addition to the NZMHA team and were excited about her nomination. Her knowledge of the Association, enthusiasm and drive are exactly what we need to help turn the Association around. Unfortunately, Council is bound by the existing Constitution and this is the basis of the following decision.
It is the unanimous decision of those NZMHA Council Members present, that wording in the NZMHA Constitution, Article 10.9 reproduced below, regrettably precludes the acceptance of Carolyn's nomination whilst she holds an executive position on the Small Horse Breeders Association of New Zealand (SHBANZ).
COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT – Article 10
No person shall hold any position on Council while they hold a council/ committee/ executive or similar position with any other Miniature Horse related club / association/ society or similar that is not affiliated to or recognised by the New Zealand Miniature Horse Association Inc. "Recognised Miniature Horse Organisations" shall be as determined from time to time by Council of NZMHA.
As the Constitution currently stands, Council's view is that the only way Carolyn can take a position on NZMHA Council is if she resigns her position on SHBANZ Council. Carolyn advised she did not feel able to stand down from her position on the Executive of the SHBANZ, which she had invested considerable time and effort in establishing. Members of Council respect and acknowledge her decision and regret losing such a valuable candidate.
Council Statement
NZMHA and Mr & Mrs Sloan have agreed to a mutually acceptable, confidential solution to the on-going registry matter and report that this matter is now at an end.
Statement from the President of NZMHA
As you may be aware there is some unrest within Council with unsubstantiated allegations having been made and a claimed Council statement posted on Facebook.
1. At that time the unofficial statement was posted no allegations or complaint has been made via formal means i.e. In writing to either the Secretary or myself as President;
2. Natural justice requires that any allegation/complaint is investigated with input from all parties;
3. Trial on a public forum such as Facebook is not an appropriate way to deal with issues;
As President it is my responsibility to ensure that due process is followed and that NZMHA is protected. Therefore members please be advised that the statement claimed to be from Council was NOT an official Council statement and I as President will be ensuring that those involved are aware that this is not the way things are done. Additionally the written complaints received by the Secretary on 15 and 16 April 2015 will be treated impartially in accordance with due process as is the norm. If I am of the opinion that an impartial investigation is not possible by Council I will exercise the power of my position to protect NZMHA and ensure the investigation is carried out by an impartial party.
Until such time NO further comment will be made by Council.

Region 3 Delegate
Council wish to advise that the new Regional Delegate for Region 3 is Cara Murtagh.
REGIONAL DELEGATE - REGION 3
As members will be aware no-one from the region stood at AGM time for the above position on Council. Subsequently the position was declared vacant at the AGM.
Nominations were again called for in mid September. At the close off time for receiving the nominations, the Secretary was notified by the returning officer, Mr Llyde, JP, that no nominations were received. Council wish to advise therefore that the position will remain vacant.
However, anyone residing in Region 3 that would like to put their name forward for the role is asked to contact the Secretary.
Update from RAS AGM/Conference
Please be aware that the Remit to Increase the Measuring Fees for RAS passed. NZMHA voted AGAINST the remit.
This will mean the following measuring charges are applicable for all RAS measuring next season.
First measure (either annual or young stock) with issue of Certificate - $30.00
Annual re-measure - $20.00
Young Stock re-measure - $10.00
Please also be aware that individual stands are entitled to charge additional operating costs.

Clarification Points
As a result of the meetings held around the Country NZMHA Council would like to clarify the following:
* The Amnesty period is for revoked miniature horses that were registered with NZMHA prior to going over height. This Amnesty also includes horses that have not been upgraded.
* Little Horse Division is only for NZMHA registered stock or recently hard shipped horses.
* Hard shipping – NZMHA Council will not be recommending to the AGM that the Hard shipping fees be reduced.
* The name Little Horse Division seems to have alienated some – this is a name only and can be altered if members wish. It is a division for horses 38" and up to 42".

It has come to the attention of NZMHA that there is the possibility of a group of members calling for an SGM based on their dissatisfaction with recent council decisions. While any group of members are quite within their rights under the Constitution to do so we would ask that all members consider the following:
1. The Council was voted in by the members at the recent AGM. They are empowered by the members under the Constitution to make decisions in respect of the management (including financial affairs) of the NZMHA. Some of these decisions may not meet the approval of all members but the intent of the SGM provision in the constitution is not to provide a forum for members every time they disagree with the Council decisions. Doing so undermines the Council's ability to do its best for NZMHA. The members need to make their minds up whether or not they will trust their elected Council or whether they want to run the NZMHA by themselves as a whole;
2. The cost of an SGM at a minimum of $1,000. As you all know the current NZMHA financial position, a further call on its available funds at a time cost saving is paramount will only assist to push the NZMHA further into an untenable financial position. The above are facts. We are not trying to dissuade members from an SGM and will support any call for an SGM but members need to either trust their Council and let them get on with their job or the end result will be management by members through SGM's. This is not how an association should be run nor was intended to be run. Do you as members want an NZMHA which is unable to make any effective decisions if constantly faced with the threat of an SGM after each Council meeting?
The 2013 issue of the NZMHA Members Directory will be made available on the NZMHA website only this year.
Please advise the Secretary ( secretary@nzmha.co.nz ) by Wednesday 28th August if you DO NOT wish your details to be made available in the members directory on the NZMHA website.
It is envisaged that this will be up on the site by Saturday 31st August.
This initiative has been taken as part of the cost savings being put in place to ensure the future of the NZMHA.

Time to turn on the lights
FUNDING has been allocated toward the construction of a renewable energy microgrid in the Daintree community to shore up the supply of reliable and affordable electricity for locals and visitors.
By Peter McCullagh
The Federal Government announced in this week's budget they will allocate up to $19.3 million to build a microgrid to help keep the lights on for less in the remote Daintree community, north of the Daintree River.
Currently grid supply terminates at the Daintree River, requiring residents of north of the river to use a combination of solar, battery or the ecologically damaging diesel generators.
Diesel supply to businesses and households powered by generators is via a bulk road tanker crossing the Daintree River using the ferry before entering the world heritage area to resupply users.
The solar powered hydrogen microgrid will replace high-cost diesel generation the community currently relies on.
Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr has been campaigning for many years to bring sustainable and affordable electricity to the Daintree.
"I absolutely welcome the Federal Government's $19.3 commitment to build a microgrid in the Daintree Rainforest.
"The proposed microgrid will be positive for our environment as energy users move away from older polluting technologies.
We will see a cutting-edge system that eliminates our community's reliance on diesel generators and genuinely boosts our environmental credentials in the heart of our World Heritage-listed area," he said.
The Daintree represents a delicate balance between natural beauty and economic development. This proposal will further establish the credentials of the region as a leader in sustainable and ecological development.
"Businesses will become more competitive through the access to reliable energy at an affordable price, while residents will enjoy the benefits of a reliable energy source.
"Douglas Shire Council supports the Federal Government's project and our staff worked closely with key project stakeholders through the feasibility study phase.
"Our draft Economic Development Strategy lists exploring clean energy markets and technologies, such as the hydrogen energy market, as a key part to innovating our region to become a stronger economy, Kerr stated.
Federal Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch said this is an incredibly positive announcement towards delivering more affordable and reliable power for the Daintree community.
"This project is the first of its kind, not only in Australia, but in the world – a fully renewable baseload-power microgrid.
"It will remove the need to burn diesel in the Daintree, allowing residents to have access to a cleaner, more affordable, more reliable source of energy.
"This project is a game-changer for the Daintree community and delivers on my firm commitment to residents to deliver a solution to their power needs."
The project will demonstrate innovative microgrid technologies, including hydrogen, helping to accelerate the uptake of microgrids in other regional and remote areas.
The Federal Government's support for the Daintree microgrid builds on the successful $50.4 million Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund.
The Douglas Shire Sustainability Group (DSSG) were approached regarding their views on this announcement.
DSSG supports the provision of reliable environmentally and economically appropriate power on the Daintree coast. We do not support the installation of a single, one size fits all power supply.
One line in a pre-election Federal Budget is not a commitment to reliable, environmentally and economically appropriate power.
"We do not have any details on the technology to be employed or the timeframe or the total funding commitment" said Didge McDonald, President of DSSG.
"We don't know if this is a fossil fuelled system, we don't know how it will be distributed, we don't know who will own the system, or pay for the power generated - will it connect to the national grid?"
The 2019 Daintree Electricity Supply Study by the Queensland Government examined 6 options for power on the Daintree Coast and concluded that the 'one big micro grid' proposal would be more expensive for households, have greater environmental impact and would take at least 6 years to build.
"The Daintree Rainforest is part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area" said Mr McDonald
"It is the world's second-most irreplaceable natural world heritage area - these ancient rainforests are globally significant as they represent the largest remaining area of lowland rainforest in Australia's Wet Tropics - why does the Federal Government want to promote its demise?"
This looks like a typical big splash headline to help sure up a candidate in the upcoming Federal election.
The DSSG were asked if they supported the replacement of fossil-fuel powered electricity sources with renewable energy sources, they declined to comment, instead referring Cairns Local News to their website, however a search for fossil fuel or diesel failed to produce related any documents.

Summer has gone by in a flash and I have been meaning to share this delightful Spaghetti and Fresh Tomato Sauce! I'm not sure about you, but I have been enjoying tomatoes for weeks in so many different recipes!!
Here are the beautiful tomatoes that my grandmother in Calabria strings every summer with her friends and family…just stunning!!!
I have been canning diced tomatoes and I've been canning tomato sauce. We have been making tomato salads almost every day and we have been making quick tomato soups. Then finally it was time to whip out my box grater and grate some tomatoes for our pasta dish! I can only suggest to be careful as you're grating away as the tomatoes are slippery and your fingers get a little wet; it could get a little dangerous if you go to quickly.
While you're grating the tomatoes (should only take a couple of minutes), you are boiling your pasta. Once your tomatoes are grated, you heat up the oil to cook the onion and garlic. The scent of fresh rosemary going through the kitchen will have everyone wondering what you are making…it smells fantastic!! You could skip the bit of butter at the end, but I do like the extra creaminess it adds to the sauce.
Keep in mind that the flavor of the sauce will depend on the tomatoes you choose for the sauce. Look for rice and juicy tomatoes. This recipe is totally vegan if you don't add the Parmigiano Reggiano and of course, the butter. You could skip the cheese and add a touch of Earth Balance margarine to the sauce.
Make this vegan by not using the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. If you are gluten-free, use your favorite GF spaghetti!! I used spaghetti, but this would be wonderful also with linguine or angel hair pasta. You could toss in some olives and a little touch of hot pepper if you like it spicy!
The freshest of tomato sauce recipes, made with barely cooked tomatoes, fresh basil and rosemary is ready in minutes!
Set a big pot of salted water to boil on high to cook pasta.
While pasta is cooking, make the sauce.
Slice a thin round off the bottom of each tomato. Starting at cut end, grate tomatoes on the largest holes of a grater over a medium bowl until all that's left is the flattened tomato skin and stem; discard. Take care while grating, as it gets slippery from the tomato juice. Don't rush while you grate.
In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions, saute 2-3 minutes, until tender. Turn heat to medium. Add minced garlic. Saute a few minutes until garlic is fragrant and golden.
Add rosemary and cook, tossing, just until fragrant and starting to brown around edges, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, add tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5–10 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted.
Grating the tomatoes is such a brilliant idea. This sauce looks so fresh. And I do love those strung tomatoes, so beautiful!
I have so many fresh tomatoes from the garden so this is right up my alley! Really need to get over my fear of canning so my tomatoes don't go to waste.
OMG this looks like the perfect sauce!!
I know first hand how careful to be when grating tomatoes…ouch. But that pain was well worth it. Sauce is amazing.
Grating tomatoes? Stringing tomatoes? I've learned so much from you today, Lora! I wondered what happened to the tomato skin when you grate tomatoes, so I'm glad you stated that the skin remains and discarded, once grated. I find this fascinating, and will be trying this method soon!
Fresh tomato sauce makes the dish so much nicer! Adds a fresher taste!
Yum! I wish I had a plate of this right now!
I don't get the stringing tomatoes thing! Is it just a way to store them until you eat them? Or something else? 🙂 And this sauce looks wonderful!
Exactly…they store until they eat them. 🙂 thanks, Erin!!

Friedrich Karl Wilhelm von Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen (* 26. Februar 1752 in Ingelfingen; † 16. Juni 1815 in Kaschau) war kaiserlicher Feldmarschalleutnant, Ritter des Maria-Theresien-Ordens und Fürst von Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen.

Leben

Herkunft
Seine Eltern waren der Fürst Heinrich August zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen (1715–1796) und dessen Ehefrau Wilhelmine Eleonora, geborene Gräfin zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen (* 20. Februar 1717; † 30. Juli 1794). Sein Bruder Friedrich Ludwig von Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen (1746–1818) war preußischer General der Infanterie und Georg Friedrich Heinrich (1757–1803) war preußischer Generalmajor und Chef des Infanterieregiments Nr. 31.

Militärkarriere
Er ging früh in den Militärdienst und war bereits mit 19 Jahren Oberleutnant im später aufgelösten Kürassier-Regiment Anspach. Er kam dann als Rittmeister zu den Coburg-Dragonern. Am 9. November 1781 wurde er Major bei Waldeck-Dragonern. Dort wurde er am 1. Mai 1784 Oberstleutnant und am 11. Februar 1790 Oberst. Er kämpfte während des Russisch-Österreichischen Türkenkrieges in Kroatien und konnte sich in den Gefechten von Dubicza, Berbir und Belgrad auszeichnen. Mit dem Beginn des Ersten Koalitionskrieges gegen das revolutionäre Frankreich kam er zur Rheinarmee. Er kämpfte 1793 bei Landau (12. August), Bienwald (12. September) und im Brompter Wald (26. Oktober). Im November und Dezember lag die Einheit im Elsass und kämpfte dann in der Schlacht bei Kaiserslautern. Dort griff er mit dem Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 2 (Schmettau) ein feindliches Bataillon an. Er konnte es zersprengen, zudem wurden zwei Kanonen erobert. Am 9. Oktober kämpft er dann bei Oggersheim. Er wurde dafür am 11. Oktober 1794 zum Generalmajor befördert. Als solcher kämpft er am 17. Dezember 1795 bei Bacherach, wo er mit seiner Brigade eine bereits vom Feind genommene Position auf dem Kantnerberg wieder nahm und diesen mit großem Verlust zurückdrängte.
Während der Schlacht bei Stockach konnte er zusammen mit dem Feldmarschallleutnant Johann Sigismund Riesch durch einen überraschen Angriff auf die feindliche Kavallerie den Sieg erringen.

Am 3. November 1799 griff er zum Entsatz von Philippsburg an. General Ney war mit dem linken Flügel der französischen Rheinarmee im Enztal vorgerückt. Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen war am Zusammenfluss von Enz und Neckar positioniert, von dort ging er über die Enz und griff die französische Vorhut unter General Lorcet bei Löchgau an. Er schlug sie zurück und auch das zur Verstärkung herangeeilte Hauptkorps unter Ney. Die Einheiten konnten die französischen Stellungen an der Enz besetzen, die Franzosen mussten sich unter Verlusten sofort bis Sinsheim zurückziehen. Ney und Lorcet wurden bei der Schlacht verwundet. Auch der rechte Flügel der französischen Rheinarmee musste einige Tage später seine befestigte Stellung verlassen, die Belagerung wurde aufgehoben. Für diesen Erfolg erhielt Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen am 21. November 1799 das Ritterkreuz des Maria-Theresien-Ordens und am 6. Mai 1800 seine Beförderung zum Feldmarschalleutnant.

Er wurde daraufhin als Divisionär nach Galizien versetzt. Im Jahre 1801 wurde er erster Inhaber des 2. Dragoner-Regiments (später König Ludwig von Bayern-Dragoner). Er behielt dieses Regiment bis 1814, als das Regiment den Namen König Maximilian Joseph von Bayern erhielt, worauf er dessen zweiter Inhaber wurde.

Am 26. Dezember 1809 trat er in den Ruhestand und starb am 16. Juni 1815 unverheiratet in Kaschau.

Steel framing chosen for next generation
McDonald's have developed a new contemporary look and feel for their restaurants that represents a significant departure from their traditional offering. McDonald's are changing completely the exterior and most importantly the interior of their restaurants to improve the overall experience for their customers. Steel framing has been chosen to meet these design demands.
McDonald's restaurants have been built with steel frames for over 20 years and this success is continuing in their new designs.
One such McDonald's restaurant that is being noticed for its striking contemporary look is located in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton, at the corner of Princess Highway and North Road, opposite Monash University. The Local Council had previously refused an application for another convenience restaurant and three take-away food premises on the site as it would impact adversely on the amenity of the area due to the style of the buildings, lack of car parking and landscaping setbacks.
The McDonald's design addressed all the Council's issues and provided parking, landscaping setbacks and positioned the building on the site to minimise disruption to residential neighbours. The building has been designed so that all sides enhance visual representation at this significant intersection and there is no 'back face'. It's 34 metres long and 34 metres wide and encompasses kitchen, storage, dining, sales and play areas. 100 people can be seated in the interior dining area.
A design feature is the 5500 mm high parapet walls that hide the two commercial air conditioning units supported on the trusses. The walls also provide a safety barrier for workers on the roof.
Steer Manufacturing has been supplying the walls frames and roof trusses for McDonald's projects across Victoria, including the Clayton project.
In NSW, Webhall Steel Frames and Trusses have been supplying McDonald's - including a very prominent site adjacent to the Sydney domestic air terminal.
In New Zealand, Framtek 2007 is supplying frames and trusses to a number of McDonald's sites.

Q: How to validate form using another php file? I am new to web designing. Now, I have created a form, and if the user input doesn't meet the requirements I display error message, and if it does I do some mysql commands to enter the info to the database. Now one way to do this is to code the php file into the html and use this command,<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>"> like described [here][1]
But I don't want to put the script in the same file. How do I do that in another php file such that if user input is invalid, it will return to the homepage with the error message updated?
Here is my code
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="register.css">

Register as A new user

        <form id="registration_form" action="registration.php" method="post">

            Name
            <input type="text" name="name"/>

            Email
            <input type="text" name="email"/>

            Password
            <input type="password" name="passwd"/>

            Repeat Password
            <input type="password" name="repasswd"/>

            <input type="submit" class="button" value="sign up"/>

        </form>

What should be in the registration.php? Like the link, I do everything, I set a flag to the error, Now if the flag is true I return the user to the homepage with the error messages, and if false, I show a message saying registration successful. How do I do the part,"return to homepage with the appended error message"?

A: put your validation codes in "validate.php" or any file name you like
then change the action to validate.php to
then in validate.php if validation matches the requirements.
header("Location: registration.php");
if not match
header("Location: back to the httml with form.php");

A: All your validation and bulletproofing should be in the registration.php
stuff like this:
    //both parameters are required, so make sure they were passed-in
if(!isset($_GET['name'])) {
    die('Must pass \'name\');

    //both parameters are required, so make sure they were passed-in
if(!isset($_GET['email'])) {
    die('Must pass \'email\');
}
if(!isset($_GET['passwd'])) {
    die('Must pass \'password\');
} else {
  //do cool stuff here
}

Don't forget your JS validation as well for the front end. I really hope this helps and gives you a bit of direction.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an auto accident, you have legal rights and may be eligible for financial compensation. The first step an auto accident lawyer takes when evaluating a civil claim is determining which parties can be held liable for damages. In auto accident cases, the party found to be primarily at fault is responsible for compensating any victims; however, in some cases, it may also be possible to hold the city, county, or state liable for damages if it can be shown that an accident occurred because of an unsafe road condition or other factors.

text: Project I completed for The Equity Office Group of the former New York Times building at 229 West 43 Street in Manhattan. The scope of the project was to create a portfolio of black and white images that captured the details of the building while maintaining an emphasis on urban grit of the details from the neighborhood.


Available in either a traditional commercial style, or with refined residential sophistication, the security of a Maxum deadbolt incorporates flawlessly into any home or business. And, with a broad range of finishes, Maxum will match most standard finishes as a seamless upgrade to existing hardware, or provide the perfect first impression for new installations.
You get Medeco protection on the outside, with an easy-to-turn thumbturn inside.
Best for doors with windows and for businesses where no one could get locked inside. The key must be used to unlock the deadbolt when entering, or for locking when exiting, which provides the highest level of security.
The special removable thumbturn key combines the advantages of single and double cylinder deadbolts. It allows easy exit in emergencies, but can be removed for additional burglary protection when away.
The Medeco® Maxum Residential deadbolt offers commercial grade 1 Security in an aesthetically pleasing package.

Päijänne National Park | Pulkkilanharju Esker
Address: Pulkkilantie 95, 17200 Vääksy Show map
Address: Pulkkilantie 95, 17200 Vääksy
The 8-kilometre-long Pulkkilanharju consists of esker islands and underwater ridges. The islands are connected to each other by bridges. The narrow Pulkkilanharju Esker, running across beautiful Lake Päijänne, is part of a nationally valuable landscape area and an important birdwatching site during the spring and autumn migrations. Part of Pulkkilanharju Esker belongs to Päijänne National Park, which was established in 1993. Pulkkilanharju can be reached from Vääksy and Sysmä via road number 314 by bicycle, car or bus.
Visitors can explore the esker nature on a nature trail of about two kilometres that is mostly easy terrain. The nature trail begins at Karisalmi rest area by going under Karisalmi Bridge to the other side of the road and then heading up to the esker. The information boards along the trail describe how the esker was formed and present the plant species of the area. You can also leave the nature trail and take a longer marked trail. This lengthens the walk back to the Karisalmi starting point to a total of about 4.5 kilometres. Most of the terrain is a fairly easy forest trail through the beautiful esker and lake landscape. Please follow the national park rules and regulations and stay on the trail to avoid damaging the fragile esker vegetation.
Pulkkilanharju is part of an esker stretching from the Second Salpausselkä Ridge in Asikkala well into the Sysmä area. It is an internationally significant example of traces from the last Ice Age and one of the most important sites of the Salpausselkä Aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark. Pulkkilanharju Esker was formed from layers of gravel and sand deposited by meltwaters at the site of a glacial meltwater stream flowing within the continental ice sheet. This took place at the end of the last Ice Age, about 11,500 years ago.
During his travels in Finland, King Gustav III of Sweden was so enchanted with Pulkkilanharju, that in 1775 he drew up a plan to build the city of Kukonharju on the esker. That plan was abandoned, but Pulkkilanharju Esker has a long history of being a busy travel route across Lake Päijänne from Sysmä to Asikkala. In order to make the route more accessible, the islands were gradually linked to each other and the continent by means of bridges and banks.
During recent decades, the ancient trail developed into the busy route of today. Pulkkilanharju has become an important destination for car, bicycle and water tourism in the southern Lake Päijänne area. The Päijänne scenic road was named Finland's most beautiful scenic route in 2014. The winning route begins in Vääksy and continues via Pulkkilanharju, Sysmä and Luhanka to Korpilahti.

Monarchs Win Three by a Score of 24-2
Hooksett, NH -The New Hampshire Junior Monarchs continued to score at a feverish pace this past week as they defeated the Valley Jr. Warriors by a score of 8-1, and the Philadelphia Revolution by scores of 5-1 and 11-0.
In a mid-week road contest the team travelled to the Haverhill Valley Forum to take on a Warriors team that had just defeated two of the top teams in the league with wins over the Bay State Breakers and South Shore Kings. With 49 shots on net the team would march to an 8-1 victory with big games from Pat Doherty and Peter DeAngelo who each had 4 points in the game. Other notable scorers were Alex Gacek and Jamie Ferullo who both had 3 points apiece.
Over the weekend, the Monarchs would host league newcomers the Philadelphia Revolution in two games at Tri-Town Arena. The first game would be a victory for the Monarchs as they would win 5-1 and outshoot the Revolution 48-16. Cody Sharib, Alex Gacek, and Aaron Kesselman would each have 2 points apiece in the win.
Game 2 Sunday afternoon would be all Monarchs, as the team would score just 1:19 into the game when Jamie Ferullo would score an unassisted goal off of a great individual effort. The Monarchs would go on to score 10 more times in an 11-0 rout of the Revolution. They would outshoot their opponents 72-25 and have 7 multi-point games, including a 2 goal 3 assist performance by Pat Kiley.
The team will be back in action again this weekend when they face the Huskies, Pics, and the South Shore Kings at the Haverhill Valley Forum in the Valley Jr. Warriors Showcase this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

"Grandpa" Donald Haley started Haley's back in 1969 with a small Lock Shop in his home in Lafayette, IN. As the family grew, his business expanded as well, with more services and new product lines to serve the areas' needs. Haley's quickly required more space and employees, thus forcing the business to a different location. In 1977, his grandson Rick Oliver joined the family business, followed shortly by his father Richard and his brother Jeff. Grandpa Haley retired in 1988, followed by Richard in 2003.
Today, Haley's has grown from its home-based shop and single employee to two locations with 21 employees, 12 dedicated service vehicles, 1 dedicated sales vehicle, and countless satisfied customers. Rick and Jeff Oliver (grandsons of "Grandpa" Haley) co-own and manage the business and service operations from the Lafayette location, alongside sister Loraine Potter who is tasked with managing inventory and the service technicians' schedules. Other family members who help keep Haley's running are: Reed Oliver (Jeff's son and 4th generation family employee), who operates the front sales counter at the Crawfordsville location, and Travis Potter (Loraine's son and also 4th generation family employee), who is a safe and lock service technician out of the Lafayette location.

Caroline on Spontaneously Generating Fish
In his 1554 book on fishes and other aquatic creatures the, at that time, widely renowned French naturalist Guillaume Rondelet described three mysterious species he classified as 'whales' from the new world. Although he had very little information on these animals, he was able to report several intriguing and exciting facts about them. All three of them appeared to be mammals, as they gave birth to live young and fed these with milk. One could be trained like a dog. And to top it all off, two have not one, but two full sets of genitals. Which animals were these? Where did Rondelet obtain his information? And what on earth is going on with those double sets of genitals?
Woodcut portrait of Guillaume Rondelet, from his work Libri de Piscibus Marinis (1554). Bibliothèque National de France: Gallica.
It was unusual for Rondelet to describe animals he knew very little about. As professor of comparative anatomy at the university of Montpellier, he was convinced that the body parts of animals had been created as perfectly adapted for their specific environment. Consequently, he felt they should be studied in this environment, and he often joined fisherman's crews to do just that. Following such trips, he took specimens home, kept them in tanks, studied them and experimented on them. Usually, this did not end well for the fish. For example, Rondelet successfully proved, by sealing a tank, that even fish need a supply of fresh air to survive.
Although the fish that helped him prove this gave its life for science, in the end it didn't matter much, as Rondelet had a habit of eventually dissecting the fish he studied. In short, he considered personal observation part of the foundation of his study of nature, and included in his book only a handful of species he had never seen. An exception was made however, for these species, which he could not successfully identify and of which no depiction could be obtained. Rondelet provides no further information that that these are species from "the Indies", by which he means the America's, without further narrowing down the region, and does not indicate who his source of information was. It is likely he was intrigued by the spectacular descriptions.
Rondelet's description of New World 'whales' in his Libri de Piscibus Marinis (1554). Bibliothèque National de France: Gallica.
He called these three mysterious species, the manatus, tiburus, and maraxus. Only the first is easy to identify. The female manatus, the description reads "has two teats, and produces milk to feed her offspring". In addition, she is "docile as a dog", as reported "by those who have seen it". All and all, we can quite easily conclude that this is a manatee, or sea cow. These species are cetaceans and mammals and do not often display aggressive behaviour. Most likely this is a West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus).
West Indian Manatee. Keith Ramos.
This leaves us with the two species that are described as having two sets of genitals. The description states that the tiburus "has a uterus which is divided into two chambers, and several teats" and "gives birth to live young, and feeds them with milk". The name tiburus may be based on the Spanish tiburón, meaning shark. The remark that the uterus has two chambers could refer to the fact that many shark species are ovo-viviparous. While they produce eggs, these hatch internally, and the offspring are transferred to another part of the reproductive system. This could then be any live-bearing shark species. Since sharks are not mammals, they don't feed their young with milk, but since they are live-bearing, this assumption is easily made.
Possibly, this is a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), or the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus). The fact that the males are described as having double genitalia, "genitale esse aiunt duplex", may well refer to a shark's claspers, an extension of the male pelvic fins used in mating. A shark has two claspers, simply because it also has two pelvic fins.

Sources and etymology
That the names would come from Spanish is not altogether surprising. Since the late fifteenth century, Spanish explorers of the new world had encountered aquatic species in the Caribbean. In turn, the name maraxus appears to be based on the Spanish marrajos, a term which can apply to several shark species, but predominantly refers to the shortfin mako shark. However, the marrajos is described in Bartolomé de Las Casas' Apologetica Historia Sumaria (1527-), where it is said to inhabit shallow waters near the coast. This could indicate that rather than the mako, this could be the great white shark.
Since de Las Casas did not appear in print until 1958, Rondelet would not have been familiar with this text. The earliest work describing aquatic species from the new world, appears to be Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo's Sumario de la Natural Historia de las Indias (1526). This discusses turtles, sharks, and the manatee. While he does not indicate this, most likely, this was Rondelet's source of information.
Great white shark. George Probst.
This still leaves us with one question. Rondelet would have been unfamiliar with the Spanish words tiburón and marrajos. Since the species Spanish explorers encountered in the New World were very different from these they were familiar with, and they consequently lacked words to describe them, they tended to turn to local knowledge and used bastardised Indian names to describe them. According to the lexicographer Fernando Ortiz, tibur´on comes from the Carib language. Possibly ti means ground and bur´on means fish. Similarly towards the end of the sixteenth century, English explorers would adopt the word xoc from the Mayans, which is the root of the word shark.
Scepticism
This being as it may, the double genitals of the tiburus and maraxus should have made Rondelet realise that these were shark species. European shark species, although very different in size to American shark species, also have claspers. In addition, it had been known since antiquity that sharks were live-bearing fishes rather than mammals, as they described as such in Aristotle's History of Animals. The fact that Rondelet describes these species as producing milk indicates he had not realised they were sharks, but how is this possible? The way in which the description is phrased, "genitale esse aiunt duplex"- they say it has double genitals, could indicate that the author was not convinced this was true. The verb aiunt, meaning 'they say', could imply a certain scepticism, which is understandable in relation to this description of a completely unknown animal. Most likely then, Rondelet felt these descriptions were too spectacular to be completely true, and therefore decided not to draw conclusions.

Notice to Universe: Enough with the Entropy Already.
I meant to toss some virtual hugs your way after your last post – was thinking about you today, even. *Hugs*!! Hope the gremlins go away and leave your stuff alone!
Would you be available to do lunch sometime?
We've got a long extend-a-pole with various lightbulb changing attachments. (You've seen our house. We needed this.) I'd be happy to bring it by and help counter a small amount of your entropy.
And speaking of coming by … do you have plans Friday evening?
Tried to post earlier, was in class all day (Sharepoint — eek!) and PDA was not being as online friendly as I wish.
Can't this Friday — you know me — *hate* being alone on weekends under the best of circumstances, so I'm booking as much as possible. What about either Friday 16th or Sat. 10th?
Thanks for offer of bulb-changing technology — I'll take you up on that! (It can wait 'till we see each other; thankfully I am of the Many Lights [not thousand points of] type).
-I'm just a local friendly neighborhood Penguinmint..
ROTFLOL. If it were only bones I'd be happy!
She is a monster chewer — can take down a Greenie in seconds! And then there are the nice leather shoes…sigh.
My responses must not be getting through on the site, I did receive your response and responded in kind, and resent it too!
I think the site must hate me!
Audrey's a doll — how many lbs.? She looks like she's about the same size as India.

Ocean Harbour Landing Homes for Sale
Ocean Harbour, also known as Puerto Nueva Fortuna in Spanish, is a bay located on the north coast of South Georgia's Barff Peninsula. It was once a major hub for whaling activity between 1909 and 1920, and at one point was the center of the world's whaling industry. The bay was originally named New Fortune Bay or Neufortuna Bay by the German Antarctic Expedition in 1922, after the whaling catcher "Fortuna," which was owned by the Norwegian-Argentine company Pesca. However, the name was later changed to Ocean Harbour after the Ocean Whaling Co. established a station there. The name change was made to avoid confusion with another nearby bay called Fortuna Bay.
Ocean Harbour is home to several historical landmarks, including old sealing trypots and the wreck of the Bayard, a 1,300 tonne iron-hulled vessel built in 1864. The bay was also the site of the first introduction of reindeer to South Georgia by Pesca's station manager and his brother in 1911. In addition, Ocean Harbour features a small cemetery with eight graves, including the oldest known grave on the island, belonging to Frank Cabrial of the sealer Francis Allen. Some of the graves are marked, while others have lost their markers over time.
