PROGRAM & FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
The Skaneateles Lake Association (SLA) implements a Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) control program on Skaneateles Lake that has reduced that species coverage to a level requiring "maintenance" control.
While most associated program costs, totaling close to $200K, are paid for by SLA memberships and other funding sources, the $40K in FLLOWPA* funds, administered by Onondaga County, has also provided valuable needed assistance. (*FLLOWPA – Finger Lakes-Lake Ontario Watershed Protection Alliance is funded though the NYS Environmental Protection Fund)
SLA's overall commitment to preventing and addressing invasive species through the Boat Launch Steward Program, Hemlock Tree Protection, and Milfoil Control represents over a $300,000.00 annual investment in Skaneateles Lake and its watershed that could not be possible without dedicated SLA members, SLA Legacy Fund and other donors, and public funding support.

2022 MILFOIL CONTROL OPERATIONS
Through services provided by Aquatic Invasives, Inc., divers underwent a training program that started on May 24, 2022, and began diving related to deploying benthic mats on May 31st. The mats are constructed from geotextile material; 12 ft. wide and each mat is approximately 60 ft. long. They are rolled up on a 14 ft. 2 X 4. Multiple mats are loaded on to the pontoon boat and carried to the priority sites identified the previous summer. The last set of mats were deployed on July 26th.
In total, 325 mats were deployed covering approximately 6.25 acres of milfoil this year. Each mat is left on the milfoil patch for a minimum of 8 weeks to insure complete elimination of any milfoil under the matting. After that time has elapsed, divers return and roll up the mats. The mats are then tied to the 2 X 4 and stacked on the bottom for pick up later. That last set of mats were retrieved on October 23rd.

MILFOIL SURVEY – DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING
Each summer after the mats are deployed, the entire littoral (shallow depth) zone of the lake is surveyed using visual verification through rake tosses and sonar with GPS to locate existing milfoil patches to be addressed the next year. Using software from BioBase, patches are mapped, and a polygon is drawn around each patch to determine its area.
Priority sites are based upon area size with highest priority going to the largest patches that exhibit Eurasian watermilfoil density of 70% plus within the patch based on visual observation. Other factors such as lake depth, slope of lake bottom and boat launch activity are decision factors in matting locations.
The 2022 priority sites with number of mats deployed at the approximate GPS location are listed here:

COMBATTING INVASIVES

SAVING THE HEMLOCKS, SAVING THE LAKE
Frank Moses, Buzz Roberts, Fran Rotunno Fish
I am sure most have heard before Dr. Robert Werner's statement made in the 1970s in regard to Skaneateles Lake….."if we lose the Hemlocks, we lose the lake"
More recently, SLA members like the late Bob Duckett, Ron & Roseanne Gaye and Steve Kinne and the CNY HWA Hunters, the NYS Hemlock Initiative, and the Cornell Cooperative Extension have helped bring to light the threat of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) that is infiltrating Skaneateles Lake's Hemlock trees from the south. As the SLA's Milfoil Survey Team was conducting its annual survey of the lake to plan for next year's matting of milfoil, SLA Board Member, Bill Dean, who was on that team, noted that significant swaths of Hemlocks infected with HWA were being seen more north on the west side of the lake.
Photo: Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) egg sacs infecting a tree near 10 Mile Creek.
Hemlocks are essential to a healthy Skaneateles Lake and are a valuable asset in helping to prevent Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Hemlocks are one of the best steep bank and ravine sediment control strategies available to reduce the amount of phosphorus that can feed HABs. Hemlocks reduce carbon from the atmosphere and keep streams cool. Hemlocks are especially important in the Skaneateles Lake watershed with its many steep ravines because they are the best natural solution in these areas to helping reduce nutrient/sediment loading into Skaneateles Lake. Their ability to establish root systems on steep slopes and help keep stream cool and thus lake temperatures lower is in high demand now that Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are of major concern. HABs and the toxins they can produce thrive in warmer nutrient rich waters.
The effort to combat and control HWA is being carried out by both Onondaga County Soil and Water Conservation District (OCSWCD) and the Skaneateles Lake Association (SLA).
The Skaneateles Lake Association has designated $50,000 from the Legacy Fund for Skaneateles Lake to fund HWA management efforts. Board Members Buzz Roberts and Patty Orr have surveyed many areas of deep ravines along with Zeb Strickland, a licensed pesticide applicator with extensive experience int treating HWA. Their survey efforts resulted in identifying large swaths of infected hemlocks on both preserve and private lands that could be treated. The SLA also received input from private landowners who had identified infected Hemlocks on their properties. We were especially fortunate to have Zeb Strickland on our team as he is willing and able to rope and repel into deep ravines….which he did to carry out treatments.
To date the SLA has funded treatment of large swaths of Hemlocks infected with HWA on both the south west and sought east side of the lake. Unfortunately, the HWA Team noted areas of Hemlocks where the damage to the trees from HWA was so severe that treatment was not possible and the trees could not be saved.

In addition to treating large swaths of infected Hemlocks, the SLA has been a resource to property owners to help them identify HWA infection if they were suspicious of it in their individual trees and refer them to licensed pesticide applicators with whom they could contract .
The SLA's plan is to continue all of its efforts to control and combat HWA next year. We know that none of this effort would have been possible without the generous donations of our members to the Legacy Fund for Skaneateles Lake and hope that all of our members will become supportive of the Fund at the most generous level possible.

All of the SLA's efforts relative to HWA were enhanced by the experience and expertise of SLA Board Member, Dr. Dana Hall, who had initiated and coordinated a similar effort for the Owasco Lake Association where he as also served as a Board Member and Board President.
There are two bright notes to end this article. One to share with all of you the sheer beauty of the many ravines that are a component of the Skaneateles Lake watershed with many areas of natural vegetation and many small waterfalls. We encourage those of you who can to get out to the public areas available and enjoy the beauty. The second bright note is that we need to envision the treatment of HWA as a bridge to the future use of silver flies to combat HWA. Cornell University is assessing the use for release into areas infected with HWA as the silver flies actually eat the Woolly Adelgid. Neither pesticide treatment nor silver flies will completely eliminate HWA, but both are tools in our packet to help Save the Hemlocks and Save the Lake.

SKANEATELES LAKE ASSOCIATION HOSTS
TOUR OF WATERSHED CHAMPIONS
FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
Over 50 City of Syracuse 7th Graders connect with lake protection professionals as part of SLA education program
In early November, the Skaneateles Lake Association (SLA) welcomed 57 students from the City of Syracuse's Expeditionary Learning Middle School as part of the career development component through the Skaneateles Lake Emerging Watershed Scientists (SLEWS) program that is supported by SLA's Legacy Fund, the CNY Community Foundation, and City of Syracuse School District.
In addition to developing science curriculum for middle and high school students within the Skaneateles Lake area, the SLA recognized a need to connect City of Syracuse students to learn about and have opportunities to help care for Skaneateles Lake as their source of drinking water. The inaugural visit to Skaneateles Lake was to meet a variety of professionals working around Skaneateles Lake.
"It was a jam-packed morning with many opportunities to meet some champions around the lake helping address different problems," said Frank Moses, Executive Director of SLA. "We are very grateful that representatives from Fesko Farms, CNY Land Trust, Anchor QEA Engineers, and SUNY-ESF made themselves available to share their experiences working to help protect Skaneateles Lake."
The tour originally was scheduled to visit High Hickory to learn about land preservation and Eastern Hemlock tree protection with CNY Land Trust Executive Director Simon Solomon and Director of Stewardship Paul Porter, but the buses were delayed, and the tour had a great kickoff at Fesko Farms.
Owner and operator Kim Brayman with son Everett teach City of Syracuse students about strip cropping that helps slow down storm runoff.
The tour through Fesko Farms was led by three generations of the family. Chris Fesko, her daughter Kim Brayman, and Kim's son Everett led the way on the buses introducing many strategies on how a working dairy farm employs Best Management Practices (BMPs) to help keep manure and other nutrients in the soil upland and help avoid over loading into the lake. Students learned about strip buffers, cover crops, and manure storage and other management techniques during their visit.
Principal Tim Johnson with Anchor QEA LLC describes benefits of watershed improvement project to City of Syracuse 7th graders
Next, the students traveled to visit a completed watershed improvement project in the uplands of Willow Creek that SLA helped finance with in-kind support from Brillo Excavating and Waste Disposal and engineering expertise provided by Principal Tim Johnson and his team at Anchor QEA LLC. Johnson greeted the students and gave them and overview of how streams can carry sediment and nutrients into lakes that can then feed Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Students then learned about a solution used on Willow Creek to divert high flow waters with a log structure into a detention basin that would capture sediment to help keep the lake clean.
Dr. Bahram Salehi and PhD candidate student Sina Jarahizadeh of SUNY-ESF demonstrate a drone flight for City of Syracuse students.
Lastly, students travelled to the SLA offices at St. James Church where they learned about SLA and met with Dr. Bahram Salehi and PhD candidate student Sina Jarahizadeh from SUNY-ESF's Salehi-Geolab. Sina and Dr. Salehi taught students about how technology like satellites and drones are being used to help monitor and better understand lake water quality. The students were able to see a high-tech drone in action as it flew over the water.
"All in all, it was a unique and meaningful educational experience for the Expeditionary Learning Middle School students," said Jason Toner, 7th grade science teacher. "We are thankful for the opportunity SLA and all the site hosts provided and look forward to learning more in the field and on the water in the late spring."

Labor Day Parade
Editor, Skaneateles Press Observer:
In 1932 when Victor Arden and Phil Orman wrote the song "I love a Parade", they gave tribute to the military parades of the times that still ring true for the present on Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veteran's Day.
But, here in Skaneateles, the Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department gives the community members and visitors a different type of parade to love on Labor Day It is a parade that embodies so much of the life and spirit of Skaneateles – organizations, businesses and community groups "march" to showcase who they are and what they do for the community and the community and visitors come to cheer them on and, of course, grab some of the never-ending candy. After two years of no parade, this year the crowds on the sidewalks and gathered on lawns in front of village houses were never ending
The Skaneateles Lake Association (SLA) was pleased to be selected by the Fire Department to be one of the community groups honored in the Labor Day Parade this year and we thank the Fire Department for the honor.
The SLA was showcased by our boat/float, "The Dr. Robert Werner Research & Education Boat" with the Werner Family (Jo, Kitty, Kurt and Andy) on board the boat along with the boat's do-designer and builder, Bill Dean and Tess Torrisi in charge the candy toss. John Menapace, co-designer and builder of the Boat, and Paul Torrisi, SLA President, carefully pulled the boat and its passengers in the parade.
Frank Moses, SLA Ex. Dir., and I are thankful for the students who volunteered to also showcase our efforts to keep Skaneateles Lake clear and its water pure. Isabella Karpinski in the Milfoil Monster Costume with Carolyn McSwain as a Milfoil Team Member "matted" the Milfoil Monster all along the parage route. Max Karpinski and Lilly Miller carried the "Milfoil Control" banner that can be seen on the Milfoil Team boats when they are out working on the lake and Elliot Holm and Tara McSwain junior Invasive Species Monitoring Stewards carried the sign to remind all that our SLA Stewards help those who come to launch ensure their watercraft and trailers are clean, drained and dry.
For so many reasons, "We Love a Parade". A community showcase and specifically for the SLA an opportunity to showcase our many efforts to keep the Skaneateles Lake clear and its water pure.
Thank you to the Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department for putting in all the effort for give the community a PARADE to love.

"THE BOB" HITS THE LAKE
Dr. Robert Werner Research & Education Boat "Commissioned"
Gretchen Robert & Fran Rotunno Fish
On Monday, July 27th, The Dr. Robert Werner Research & Education Boat, affectionately known and secondarily, named "The Bob", was commissioned into action at the Skaneateles Country Club where it will be moored via the courtesy of the Club.
Skaneateles Lake Association (SLA) Executive Director, Frank Moses, welcomed the assembled community of donors and introduced SLA President, Dr. Paul Torrisi. Torrisi noted that all had gathered for 2 reasons: to honor the man most responsible for promoting the conservation and preservation of Skaneateles Lake, Dr. Robert Werner. and to commission the boat in his name and memory to provide research efforts and educational/community outreach to all who live, work, and play here…along with hundreds of thousands in CNY who rely on this clear/pure body of water for its drinking and sustenance
Torrisi noted that two volunteer directors of the SLA needed to be recognized for their efforts. He noted that Fran Rotunno Fish had initiated the idea of the boat being constructed in Bob's memory; had raised the funding from the community and had obtained the many in-kind donations from community businesses that were also significant to our funding. Dr. Torrisi noted that as the design and scientific requirements evolved during the early construction on the boat by John Menapace and his staff last year, it was volunteer Board member Bill Dean who jumped in to give so much of his time and expertise. He was able to complement John, Pete, and staff by researching the scientific needs of the boat through his position as Co-Chair of the SLA LET, from an operational, mechanical, and electrical perspective. Bill worked days, weeks, months alongside John Menapace and his staff to finish the construction of this boat.
Torrisi noted that what was now in front of the gathering was a very soundly constructed tri-toon with a strong and easily maintained deck, hull, railings, and permanent "bimini" roof with solar panels energizing a complex series of lithium batteries, along with very sophisticated navigational, operational and scientific instrumentation and equipment. It is a boat named in honor and memory of Werner, one that Werner would be very pleased to see, and what hopes to be a valuable asset to not only the SLA, but the entire watershed and CNY community for years to come…helping to keep this lake clear and pure, as it states in SLA's mission statement and on our logo.
Fish shared the ease of the effort to raise the funding for the boat. With assistance from Bob DeWitt and Steve White they had reached out to community members and not one of them refused assistance and many gave very generously for specific components of the boat. She also noted the generosity and helpfulness of many area businesses was an important component of the funding for the boat.
With the gathering assembled on the shoreline and on the slips on each side of the boat, Bill and Bobbi Dean unveiled the boats signs naming it the "Dr. Robert Werner Research & Education Boat."
Bill Dean gave the gathering an overview of the equipment of the boat and what it could be used for. He explained the complex lithium battery system, the solar energy source and the very special trolling motor with GPS that will hold the boat in position for those activities that have to be done in very specific locations.
SLA member and Bob's friend and neighbor, Larry Weiss, provided some words of reflection for the day. He noted that the boat was one of Werner's living legacies and that it is a testament to three things. It is a testament to how very seriously Werner took his responsibility as a steward of Creation. Werner prophetically both took action himself, and also called the whole community to action to protect this lake. That is the role of a prophet, to rouse the community to action. It is a testament to the response of the community to Werner's prophetic spirit of stewardship. Finally, in ages past, a great prophet was commissioned by receiving the mantle of their predecessor. The Skaneateles Lake Association, the related organizations, and most of all, the individuals who responded and continue to respond to Bob's prophetic guidance and leadership in preserving the life of this lake are receivers of Werner's mantle. Lord willing, may we also receive a double portion of Werner's spirit. This boat will carry it forward.
Bill Dean did the honors of hanging the small flag with the name "The Bob" high on one of the "gull away" poles. The "Commissioning" was closed with Jo Werner, Kurt Werner and Kitty Werner Robinson joining Bill on board for a "champagning" of the boat.

Profile: The Invisible Hand - Robert Massie and God's Green Earth
Ethics-General
Education-Business Education
Management-General
Will the real Robert Kinloch Massie (DBA '89) please stand up? Priest. Politician. University lecturer. Medical marvel. Social activist. Prize-winning historian. Environmentalist. Executive. While Bob Massie is justified in rising to acknowledge any of these appellations, the ability to get to his feet at all may rank among his greatest achievements. The simple acts of standing and walking represent triumph for Massie, as does the fact that he is even alive today. Fittingly, his life's work is all about "standing up," as he forcefully advocates for higher standards of corporate responsibility and social justice in the conduct of capitalism.
When Massie was an infant, his youthful parents received a stunning diagnosis: Their lively firstborn was a hemophiliac. The family's life in New York's Westchester County became dominated by his condition. Blood and plasma transfusions — hundreds of them — were needed to stem internal bleeding caused by even mild stress on his joints. His blood-filled knees and ankles left Massie unable to walk and brought on "interminable nights when pain banished sleep," he later wrote. His parents battled an unresponsive health-care system as the family finances dwindled. Finally, at age 12, after years of physical therapy combined with advances in medication, Massie walked away from his wheelchair and cumbersome leg braces. To this day, however, he must cope with pain and self-inject medication almost daily to control his condition.
"When you have time in this world taken away and then given back, you want to use it in the very best way you can."
Looking back on his childhood, the friendly, unassuming Massie, who is executive director of the nonprofit Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies (CERES), offers a cheerier perspective. Seated in his office near Boston's Public Garden, he recollects sunlit summers in Maine (where his love for the natural world flourished) and his family's four-year sojourn in Paris (where, as a teenager, he received state-of-the-art medication, at no cost, from the national health system and learned French so well he graduated first in his lycée class). His parents, Suzanne and Robert, were talented chroniclers of Russian culture and history (Robert's Peter the Great won the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Biography), and an exciting group of writers, artists, and musicians was always around.
"As a hemophiliac, I knew I was different, but that was just normal life for me," Massie recalls. "My family led a very romantic existence; we had a great time." Yet as a child with a chronic illness ("the constant shadow," he once wrote) that set him apart physically and socially, Massie did feel a duality of experience. "Although I was often part of privileged communities, from very early on, I frequently identified with those who were excluded."
Enrolling at Princeton, Massie became an activist, particularly regarding South Africa and divestment. More importantly, he also had a religious awakening. "In my senior year," Massie explains, "I questioned many things, including the existence of God. I issued a challenge, saying, 'God, if you are out there, I'd like to feel you more in my life.' And God responded with grace and forgiveness. It was like putting out your hand in the dark without expecting anyone to take hold of it, and then someone does, in a warm, accepting way." The experience solidified Massie's beliefs in compassion, social justice, and the importance of serving others.
In 1978, Massie enrolled at Yale Divinity School, taking a year off to work for Ralph Nader's Congress Watch. Ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1983, he worked with the homeless at Grace Episcopal Church in Manhattan before entering HBS the following year. That decision was driven by several factors. Explains Massie, "As an activist, when I challenged the way business was conducted, people said I didn't know what I was talking about — I wanted to change that. I also wanted to understand business, one of the most powerful institutions in society, and learn about leadership and how to galvanize resources, human and otherwise."
As is the norm for HBS doctoral students, Massie completed the first year of the MBA Program before focusing his research on how large institutional investors make decisions about social issues. (He also worked simultaneously at a small church in Somerville, Massachusetts.) With DBA in hand, from 1989 to 1996, he taught ethics and public policy at Harvard Divinity School and brought together faculty and students at HDS and HBS through regular luncheons and joint field studies. In 1993, as a senior Fulbright scholar, Massie served on the faculty of the University of Cape Town's Graduate School of Business and gathered material for his book, Loosing the Bonds: The United States and South Africa in the Apartheid Years, which won the prestigious Lionel Gelber Prize for Best Book on International Relations in 1998. Inspired by South Africa's unfolding democracy and dismayed by America's "sclerotic and cynical" political system, Massie, a quixotic unknown, entered and won the 1994 Massachusetts Democratic primary for lieutenant governor before losing in the general election.
Since 1996, Massie has guided CERES, a national coalition of some 85 groups that includes environmental organizations and environmentally concerned investors, managers, and analysts representing $300 billion in assets. In April, in cooperation with the UN and other organizations, CERES launched the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an independent standards-setting board based in Europe. The GRI sets guidelines for "sustainability reporting," a voluntary process that enables firms to report their economic, environmental, and social conduct.
Notes Massie, GRI's founding chair, "In addition to governmental mechanisms, we need the GRI framework to keep globalization on a positive track. More than 110 global companies, from Nike to General Motors, understand that the GRI reporting structure will help them manage their businesses more efficiently and responsibly." The GRI is emerging even as institutional investors, NGOs, and governments intensify their scrutiny of firms in areas such as environmental impact, human rights, and labor conditions. Its framework, Massie says, "helps businesses provide this increasingly important information in a more rationalized way."
Massie's energy and output is even more remarkable given the fact that some twenty years ago, he acquired HIV in the course of his many transfusions. Naturally, and without drugs, his system has resisted developing AIDS, which has made him a subject of great medical interest. With his wife, Anne, Massie feels enormously grateful to be able to look to the future of his three children, as well as to his own (a return to the ministry or to politics are both possibilities). "When you have time in this world taken away and then given back," he says, "you want to use it in the very best way you can."
Web Exclusive: Bob Massie - Finding His Place at HBS
"I owe a great deal to the late Professor John Matthews," Bob Massie says, as he retraces his personal journey from undergraduate involvement in the South Africa divestment movement to graduate studies at Harvard Business School. "When I first visited the School, I was trying to figure out if there was a place for me. I was particularly interested in the DBA Program because I knew I wanted to write, but I wasn't sure I'd fit in. So Professor Bob Stobaugh of the Doctoral Program sent me over to see Matthews."
Matthews, who taught at HBS for 42 years, was widely considered a pioneer in the field of business ethics and corporate responsibility. "He spoke with me for a long time and then very generously said he would work with me," says Massie. "In describing me to Stobaugh afterwards, Matthews used words to the effect that I was a strange guy, but one who might add something to the School."
The "strange guy" came to be considered the conscience of his first-year MBA classroom. It was a compliment Massie accepted with some reluctance — he wished that his fellow students would give voice in class to the ethical concerns they preferred to convey to him in private. As he would later write of his MBA experience, "I stuck to the role I had been granted as a liberal bellwether, a miner's canary that, as long as he didn't pipe up or keel over, certified that ethical boundaries were being respected."
Massie was learning a lot, too — not only a greater comprehension of the business process and ethos, but also the managerial skills that have served him well as executive director of CERES (www.ceres.org). "I came to understand that I had a monolithic view of business and didn't understand the functions of marketing, say, or finance," he says. "I became fascinated by it all and found that many of my prejudices were wrong. I also found that businesspeople and students were gung-ho, can-do folks whose attitude was, 'Tell me the problem and we'll work together to fix it.' They weren't encumbered by a lot of the exhaustive self-doubt that you often find in other disciplines. That was surprising and appealing to me. HBS gave me much greater precision about motives, behavior, and issues with regard to business — what can be trusted and what should be looked at with skepticism."
Massie recalls one of his HBS professors once joking that entrepreneurship is finding ways to do things that you want using other people's resources. "I identify in many ways with being an entrepreneur," he says. "As an activist, that's sort of what you are." He counts himself lucky to have been involved in some trends before they achieved critical mass, issues such as business ethics and the push for greater corporate transparency, for example. These are among the matters addressed by the recently launched Global Reporting Initiative (www.globalreporting.org), which Massie and CERES have been working on for years. "Everybody was talking about reporting, but something concrete needed to happen," Massie says. "And with GRI, we're about to unveil some well-researched work on corporate governance issues, just as Enron has emerged. I feel like I've been a couple of steps ahead — as an entrepreneur, that's the best you can hope for."
Indeed, Massie believes that today's headlines about lax corporate controls, conflicts of interest, and ethical shortcomings are really nothing new. "In the long view," he says, "I see that American democracy, since its inception, has had to figure out how it relates to economic power and rethink that question repeatedly during the life of the republic, just as we are now doing. That's what the campaign finance bill is about, and that's what's sparking the confrontation over who was involved in the administration's energy-policy formulation. Those issues are fundamental because they relate to the question of what is the proper role for private economic power in the conduct of public work. I think the boundary's a little off right now, and that the world's changing rapidly. We need to change with it."
And what precisely should be the larger goal of society? "I have come to believe," Massie has written, "that the true test of greatness for any group of people — be they a family, a community, or a nation — is the manner in which they care for those suffering in their midst. Just as we judge parents on the way they educate and care for their children, and friends on their constancy and sensitivity, so should we judge society by the way it assists those who bear life's greatest burdens: the chronically ill, the poor, and the elderly. Our goal should be a society made up of people who are both individually and collectively compassionate."

Dutchman's body found, raises Spain's storm death toll to 7
Posted: Sep 18, 2019 / 04:40 AM CDT / Updated: Sep 18, 2019 / 04:40 AM CDT
MADRID (AP) — Spanish police say they have found the body of a missing Dutchman, raising the death toll in last week's storms and flooding in southeastern Spain to seven.
The Civil Guard in the southeastern province of Alicante said the body was found Tuesday in a canal after he was swept away in the floods.
The 66-year-old man who lived in the nearby town of Dolores was reported missing by his family Sunday. The man's name was not released.
Emergency rescue workers rescued thousands of people during the storms that slammed into the Mediterranean coastal regions of Valencia, Murcia and eastern Andalusia last week. Some towns and cities reported their heaviest rainfall on record. The downpour forced airports to close as well as intercity train lines, major roads and schools.
GENEVA (AP) — President Joe Biden's top medical adviser on COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci, on Thursday announced renewed U.S. support for the World Health Organization after it faced blistering criticism from the Trump administration, laying out new commitments to tackle the coronavirus and other global health issues.
Fauci, speaking by videoconference from pre-dawn United States to WHO's executive board, said the U.S. will join the U.N. health agency's efforts to bring vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics to people in need, whether in rich or poor countries. He said the U.S. will also resume full funding and staffing support for WHO.

Jean-Georges Restaurants divests minority stake to HHC
The funding will be used by Jean-Georges Restaurants to expand its global presence.
US-based firm The Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC) has acquired a minority stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants by investing $55m.
Jean-Georges Restaurants, which is owned by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, will use the new investment to expand its business globally.
HHC CEO David O'Reilly said: "Working in close partnership with Jean-Georges at the Seaport in New York City, we experienced first-hand his team's exceptional ability to execute at the highest levels while growing a global business.
"We see significant runway for Jean-Georges Restaurants to expand its worldwide capital-light restaurant management platform of food and beverage and other hospitality offerings.
"We look forward to contributing to their growth across HHC's national portfolio of large-scale, mixed-use communities."
According to the terms of the deal, HHC will have the option to purchase a further additional stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants.
The restaurant's existing management team will continue to retain all day-to-day decision-making power.
With a pipeline of new concepts, Jean-Georges Restaurants currently has more than 40 hospitality offerings.
Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten said: "Over the past five years we have partnered with The Howard Hughes Corporation to create an extraordinary culinary destination at the Seaport in Lower Manhattan, including The Fulton restaurant and the new Tin Building culinary marketplace which will soon open.
"Today we have expanded our partnership with HHC.
"I could not imagine a better company with which to introduce new Jean-Georges concepts and expand our restaurant and hospitality business while ensuring that the unmatched food, service and experience of a Jean-George restaurant will remain unchanged."

As the professional wordsmith behind his column in The Times, Owen Slot had been Jonny Wilkinson's ghostwriter for seven years before they began to collaborate on the England rugby star's autobiography yet it was not long before he discovered he knew his subject less well than he thought.
"It was abundantly clear that Jonny's life story was more complicated, infinitely deeper and darker than I had imagined," Slot writes in a piece accompanying the serialisation of Jonny: My Autobiography in The Times this week.
The book -- due out this Thursday -- takes readers on a candid and deeply personal voyage into the farthest reaches of Wilkinson's complex character, setting out the inner torment that has even accompanied much of his success as well as darkening the days of his long periods of physical injury.
It reveals the fears that have dogged him since childhood and tipped him sometimes into bouts of depression and which have made the goals of fulfilment and true happiness almost impossible to attain.
"I didn't know the extremes of the anxiety he suffered, I didn't have a clue that it started so early on in his life and I certainly didn't know that it never really left him," Slot writes.
Slot amassed more than 50 hours of recorded interview sessions -- two and half times the amount a colleague had suggested would be adequate -- and had to submit his manuscript to three painstaking edits before Wilkinson was happy for it to go to press.
The result is a gripping read and an examination of the human psyche that throws up many thoughts and experiences that will be uncomfortably but reassuringly familiar to others haunted by self-doubt. But it is also a book that tempts the suggestion that the obsessiveness that has driven Wilkinson's career on the rugby field might also explain an apparent compulsion to write soul-searching autobiographies.
Jonny: My Autobiography is actually Wilkinson's third life story, following on from My World , written in conjunction with Daily Express journalist Neil Squires and published in 2004, and Tackling Life , written four years later with the help of Steve Black, the former Newcastle Falcons fitness coach who became Wilkinson's mentor.
In both, Wilkinson delves into his fears and anxieties, especially Tackling Life , which begins to reveal the complexities that required Owen Slot to embark on what must have felt like a marathon of transcribing.
In a way, then, Jonny is more of the same. Yet Slot has trawled deeper still, perhaps, and given that Wilkinson's fascination with the inner self involves continually challenging his beliefs and re-evaluating earlier conclusions, the old ground covered is refreshed just enough.

347Aidan Net Worth
November 24, 2022 November 24, 2022 Kelly Z.
Having a large social media presence and a good reputation in the community is a major contributor to your net worth. Fortunately, you don't have to spend a lot of money to gain followers and get a great deal of exposure. All you have to do is create a great, personal brand, and then promote it on social media.
Unlike many of his fellow young musicians, 347aidan is not hiding behind a curtain, but rather taking to social media and TikTok to promote his music. It's no secret that he is one of the most prolific artists on social media, but what do you know about his real name?

"Asian Americans" delivers a bold, new perspective on the Asian American experience that will surprise, move and inspire audiences. The five-part documentary series from PBS traces the epic story of Asian Americans, spanning 150 years of immigration, racial politics, international relations and cultural innovation. It is a timely, clear-eyed look at the vital role that Asian Americans have played in defining who we are as a nation. As the United States is rapidly becoming more diverse, but also more divided, how do we move forward together?
Through the lens of the country's fastest growing population,Asian Americans illuminates the way one group of Americans, who were long excluded and considered outsiders, have pursued two visions of the American Dream: one of opportunity and a better life, but also the pursuit of ideals of equality and a more perfect union. Their stories are a celebration of the grit and resilience of a people that reflects the experience of all Americans.
"To tell the Asian American story, you can't just talk about Asian Americans, because race in the United States is so intricate and so complex."
-Renee Tajima-Peña, series producer

François Nicolas Fririon, né le  à Vandières (Lorraine) et mort le  à Paris , est un général français de la révolution et de l'Empire.

Biographie
François Nicolas Fririon naît le 7 février 1766 à Vandières, village lorrain situé dans l'actuel département de Meurthe-et-Moselle, et est baptisé le lendemain.

Excerpt: Chapter I; IT IS A TRUTH universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. ?My dear Mr. Bennet,? said his lady to him one day, ?have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?? Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. ?But it is,? returned she; ?for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.? Mr. Bennett made no answer. ?Do not you want to know who has taken it?? cried his wife impatiently. ?You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.? This was invitation enough.
