Here's a look east at the junction of Jericho Turnpike and Hempstead Road in a postcard view between 1900 and 1910. Long Island Electric trolley tracks seen in the roadbed supported service until 1933. These two routes were narrow two-lane roads at the time. Look carefully and you can see a railroad crossing signal at right: this is the main line of the Ling Island Rail Road, which was placed on an elevated trestle in 1923.
At this point Jamaica Avenue from this point east was still known as Jericho Turnpike, for the mid-Nassau County town where it originally ended; it has since been extended to Middle Country Road in Smithtown, Suffolk County. From the early 1800s, Jamaica Avenue and Hempstead Avenue were known as the Hempstead and Jamaica Plank Road and was a toll road paved with wood planks. From the point today's Hempstead Avenue diverged from Jamaica Avenue, the latter was called Jericho Turnpike.
About 1920, these roads received their current names, with Fulton Street in Woodhaven and Jamaica as well as the Hempstead and Jamaica Plank Road becoming Jamaica Avenue, and also Hempstead Avenue in Queens and Hempstead Turnpike in Nassau County.
From 1920 to 2005 the stretch of Jamaica Avenue between 225th Street and 257th Street that existed halfway in Queens County (the north side) and halfway in Nassau (the south side) went by two names: Jamaica on the north side, Jericho Turnpike on the south. After some years of pushing by the local organizations such as the Bellerose Community Civic and Community Board 13, the NY City Council decided to rename the north side Jericho Turnpike, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed the bill June 5, 2005; street signs were changed within a couple of months, giving NYC its second modern-day "turnpike" (after Union Turnpike.) The turnpike attained its present width in 1962.
Today Hempstead Avenue continues to diverge from Jamaica Avenue at the same point, and you can see the elevated LIRR trestle on the right. Hempstead and Hempstead Turnpike form NYS Route 24 and runs out to Route 110 in western Suffolk County. The triangle formed by Jamaica Avenue, Hempstead Avenue and 213th Street is now known as Litchhult Square, likely for a local personage; thus far, the world wide web is quiet on which one.
The Litch is back,as Sir Elton would say. According to Parks records, the city acquired this land in 1929 by condemnation as part of the widening of Jamaica Avenue. It was designated Litchhult Square in Local Law 55 of 1938 passed by the City Council. Unfortunately, the Municipal Archives do not have any further information on this legislation, nor does Queens Historical Society.
-Hollis resident Gilbert A. Litchhult, a local Freemason who died on December 31, 1930.
-Mrs. M. Litchhult served as the local American Legion Commander in the 1930s.
-War veteran Andrew S. Litchhult also lived in Hollis at that time. Died in 1936.
Thank you for filling in some of the blanks to my family's story.
I wonder if the trees in today's Litchult Square are "living descendants," of the trees in the early 1900's photo?
I grew up in Queens Village in the 1950s through 1973. In those days, the sign on this triangle read "LT Litchhult Square." I never could find any info on a LT Litchhult. He/she could have been military lieutenant or a heroic first responder lieutenant. From the three brief bios of possible Litchhults provided by Sergey, the war vet, Andrew, is the obvious most likely candidate, although either of the other two are possibles considering the timeline.
I also grew up in Queens Village and live there from the early 1940s through the late 1960s. I lived on 212 Place 2 blocks up from Jamaica Avenue. That triangle was always "Lt Litchhult Square". We understood that Litchhult was a military vet.
This is my Great Uncle. Litchhult Ww1 Vet.
We lived on 205th St off Francis Lewis Blvd near Hollis Ave. 100-44-205th Street.
We later moved to Mattituck LI where my Dad , Edward, was President of North Fork Bank & Trust.
We would go by the Sq as a child.
I got it rededicated in the early 2000's by the NY Parks & recreation Dept. they replaced the sign & gave me one duplicate. Never to be renamed.
Litchhult Square was named after my grandfather–Lieutenant Andrew Slover Litchhult (March 1895 – October 8, 1936). He was a WWI veteran who fought in France. He died of complications from the encephalitis he contracted while fighting over seas during the well-documented flu outbreak in Europe at the time. He was discharged honorably in 1919. I am fortunate to have his war diary and a few pictures, though I never had the honor of knowing him. My mother was only 9 when he passed away. His wife, Veronica Agnes Litchhult, was very active in the American Legion from the 1930's until she passed away in 1955.
Thank you for the context to this post. Was always a little vague in my Family Tree gatherings.
A couple of Litchhult branches. Jamie/Mary Litchhult in the Dix Hills, LI, NY area & still live there.
My branch moved from Hollis Queens to Mattituck, LI, NY around 1960. 5 Litchhult Boys, born to Madeline & Edward F, Litchhult(President North Fork Bank & Trust) till he passed in 1978. Madeline passed in 2009 at 90 yrs of age.
One other brother lives in Upstate NY, one in Maui & one Brother Ed (Downs Syndrome) passed a few years ago.
I undrrstand there are other Litchhult Branches in Michigan & Missouri.
Dr J Wiger, DDS is a decendent of Lt. Andrew Litchhult, name sake of the Square in Queens.
Thanks again. Please share any additional Litchhult family tree info.
So informative! I've always gone past this fork in the road never paying any attention to the small greenspace and its dedication. Just learned a small piece of history in the neighborhood I grew up in.


Am I the only one who feels vaguely bothered by sequels that make no attempt to connect to their predecessors? These instances don't happen frequently, but they do pop up on occasion.
That said, I admit I wracked my little brain but couldn't think of too many examples of such movies. 1990's Predator 2 lacks much direct connection to 1987's Predator, but there's some continuity between them above and beyond antagonists of the same species. From what I understand, it sounds like 1997's Home Alone 3 has nothing to directly connect it to the first two pictures, but since I never saw it, I can't state this with certainty.
However, I do know that 1986's House and 1987's House II: The Second Story have nothing to do with each other in regard to their characters, locations, or other film-based elements. Many of the same people who put together the first flick worked on the second, but none of the actors reprise their roles.
Though a few bit actors played different parts, none of the main characters came back for the sequel, and the events depicted have virtually nothing to do with each other except for the fact that they both relate to mystical houses. Even the titular residence differed between flicks, as the sequel took place at an abode not seen in the first movie.
However, I must admit that my indignation sagged as I watched House II, all for one simple reason: I liked it more than I enjoyed the initial film. I found the latter to offer an awkward combination of scares and laughs that worked in neither mode. The sequel goes with a much lighter theme and it presents a more satisfying experience.
At the start of House II, we see a baby who's taken away from his parents. Eventually, we meet the grown-up version of that tot, as Jesse (Arye Gross) inherits the home in which the parents he barely knew lived.
Jesse moves in and brings along his record executive girlfriend Kate (Lar Park-Lincoln). Some odd things occur, but nothing terribly exciting takes place. Eventually Jesse's opportunistic friend Charlie (Jonathan Stark) enters the picture along with Charlie's Madonna-wannabe girlfriend Jana (Amy Yasbeck).
Eventually we see more of a mysterious figure from the film's flashback sequences, as a nasty dude comes after "the skull". Jesse finds some material that relates to this and decides to dig up the great-great-grandfather (Royal Dano) after whom he was named. To their surprise, Jesse and Charlie discover that Gramps - as he prefers to be called - wasn't really dead, as a strange crystal skull kept him in a state of zombie-hood.
It's a silly and thin plot, but it makes much better sense in this kind of framework than did the psychodrama witnessed during House. The events of the latter felt far too serious to fit a light comic setting, whereas House II never attempts to be anything more than a romp.
The sequel boasts virtually no pretensions to depth or drama, which may sound like a criticism, but the film really works better because it lacks much substance. One doesn't go to this sort of flick for an intricate experience, as the genre's fans want to see some fun and get a few cheap thrills and that's about it.
In that regard, House II becomes moderately enjoyable, though I have to note that it often can be a cinematic mess. The film marked director Ethan Wiley's first turn behind the camera, and his inexperience really shows.
I don't dissect framing and editing as I watch movies, but the work in House II is so poor that I can't help but notice it. We find many examples when the camera focuses on the wrong parts of the image, and many others progress in an illogical manner that drains them of effectiveness. House II delivers a somewhat poorly-made film in that regard.
Nonetheless, I still think House II provides a moderately enjoyable experience. I didn't much like the first one, so to say that I prefer House II doesn't say a lot.
Still, for all its flaws - and it has many - the movie becomes a breezy and lightly entertaining piece that accomplishes some of its goals. I've seen many better flicks, but I've also seen many worse.
House II: The Second Story appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this Blu-ray Disc. Overall, the image held up fairly well.
General sharpness was fine. Though some softness impacted the occasional wide shot, the majority of the film boasted nice clarity and accuracy. I saw no signs of jaggies or moiré effects, and edge haloes seemed absent. Print flaws also didn't disturb the presentation.
As with the first film, House II featured a fairly subdued palette, but the colors appeared to be acceptably concise and vivid. They showed some of the flatness typical of 1980s stocks but still offered reasonable pep.
Black levels seemed to be fairly deep and solid, and shadow detail was opaque without heaviness. Low-light situations looked good, as they appeared appropriately defined but not excessively thick. Though it showed its age, the image still worked pretty well.
Like the Blu-ray for House, this release of House II came with a remixed DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack. Like the 5.1 audio for House, the multichannel House II failed to do much with the material.
This left us with another lackluster soundfield that qualified as "glorified mono". Though elements spread to the side and rear speakers, they did so without obvious localization or clarity.
That meant a certain mushiness to the soundscape. Music and effects used the different channels to form an ill-defined sonic impression that failed to connect with a natural sense of environment or action.
Audio quality seemed dated but decent. Music lacked great range but showed reasonable punch, and effects fell into the same category. Those elements gave us acceptably clear material, even if they lacked much low-end.
Speech worked fine. The lines could be a bit distant and thin, but they remained fairly natural and concise. This seemed like a mediocre track that didn't take advantage of its multichannel possibilities.
The Blu-ray also included the original PCM monaural soundtrack, and I preferred it to the 5.1 remix. Without the unconvincing use of the side/rear channels, the audio felt more focused, and the sound came across as a little more natural and defined. The mono mix offered the superior option.
As noted, the multichannel track didn't work very well, so it didn't add a plus to the Blu-ray. However, the Blu-ray's lossless mono mix topped the DVD's audio in a number of ways.
Visuals also worked better. The Blu-ray looked richer, tighter and cleaner than the DVD. That made it a good step up in quality.
The Blu-ray mixes old and new extras, and these start with the DVD's audio commentary from director Ethan Wiley and producer Sean S. Cunningham. Both men sit together for this running, occasionally screen-specific track. Wiley dominates the proceedings during this spotty but periodically interesting piece.
As occurred withHouse's commentary, this one includes a fair number of blank spots. Quite a few moments pass without discussion, though these didn't seem to be overwhelming.
Actually, though the track for the first film suffers from a roughly similar number of gaps, they seem less bothersome here, mainly because House II's commentary features half as many participants. House has four speakers, so it has less reason to go silent at times.
Their statements occasionally stick with screen-specific topics, but they often veer off into tangential information. For example, we hear some stories about Wiley's relationship with actor Royal Dano, and there's also coverage of his career and other issues.
Personally, I like these sorts of tracks that don't just tell me basic facts about the shoot, but I know this kind of free-form piece irritates some folks. Overall, the commentary for House II seems fairly mediocre, but it offers enough interesting notes to merit a listen.
By the way, the pair provide some misinformation during the track. For one, they relate that John Ratzenberger appeared in Star Wars as a rebel pilot during the attack on the Death Star. That's not correct; he actually played a character briefly seen during theThe Empire Strikes Back.
New to the Blu-ray, a documentary called It's Getting Weirder lasts 57 minutes, 38 seconds. The show includes remarks from Cunningham, Wiley, House story creator Fred Dekker, composer Harry Manfredini, makeup/creature effects designer Chris Walas, makeup/creature effects Mike Smithson, stop motion animator Randal Dutra, visual effects supervisor Hoyt Yeatman, stunt coordinator Kane Hodder, and actors Arye Gross, Jonathan Stark, Devin DeVasquez and Lar Park-Lincoln.
"Weirder" discusses the project's development and challenges related to the sequel, story/characters, creature design and effects, cast and performances, sets and locations, stunts, music, and the film's legacy. "Weirder" comes with a good mix of thoughts and turns into an effective look at the production.
By the way, I guess Wiley doesn't read my reviews, as 15 years after I discussed the DVD commentary, he still claims DeVasquez was Playmate of the Year. Fake news!
A Vintage EPK lasts 14 minutes, 38 seconds and features Cunningham, Gross, Wiley, and actors John Ratzenberger and Royal Dano. It offers a promotional look at the film that gives us little substance, though Ratzenberger provides some funny remarks.
In addition to the film's trailer and a TV spot, we get a Still Gallery. It presents a running montage of 69 images that fills six minutes, 14 seconds. We get a mix of production photos, behind the scenes stills and advertising elements that add up to a decent collection.
While House II: The Second Story doesn't greatly outdo its predecessor, I find it to offer a more satisfying combination of horror and comedy. The movie maintains a lighter tone that better achieves what the filmmakers set out to do. The Blu-ray offers largely good picture along with adequate audio and a few informative supplements. Fans will like this Blu-ray upgrade.
Note that as of April 2017, the House II Blu-ray can be purchased only as part of House: Two Stories. This also includes House and the "Companion" book.

I have an Eflite Power 32 which has never been flown, but is a couple of years old. I installed it in a scratch built Cub and took it to the field to practice high speed taxiing, as I am not yet qualified to try to fly this aircraft.
I have a 60 amp ESC and a 13 x 7 wooden prop is installed, all powered by a 2200 mAh LiPo battery. The motor has a high pitched scream at high power settings.
Thinking the bearings might have been defective I ordered and installed a new set of Boca Ceramic bearings. The noise is still present.
I tried resetting all of the motor related ESC settings with no positive affect. There are no clearance issues, and I have not operated the motor long enough to determine if there might be any overheating.
Have you tried it on the bench with no prop on? The type of prop and size of prop can create stress and create unique sounds. There's a difference between a metal scratching sound like bearings and or magnets being thrown/bad versus prop sound. I'm assuming also you balanced the prop and hub. Best thing to do is get a video uploaded to YouTube and send us a link to hear it for ourselves.
I have a 13 x 7 wooden prop, balanced. I have also tried a similar nylon prop. Both yielded the screeching noise. Seems to run smooth without a prop.
Question: is there any type of shims or washers used inside the motor, and if so, where. I just wondered if I lost something when I disassembled the motor to inspect the bearings.

Atlantique Productions, S.A. v. ION Media Networks, Inc.
USDC C.D. Cal. January 31, 2014
District court dismisses French television company's breach of contract claim against U.S. distribution company, finding that no contract was formed because parties intended to be bound only by agreement signed by both parties.
French television production company Atlantique Productions, S.A. sued ION Media Networks, Inc. for breach of contract, and related claims, based on negotiations regarding U.S. television distribution of the internationally produced police drama series "Jo." The primary issue was whether a "term sheet" signed by Atlantique, but not signed by ION, created a binding $4 million contract. Atlantique alleged that, although ION never signed the proposed term sheet, it was nevertheless bound to the contract because it negotiated the terms of the agreement through an email exchange and eventually sent a "final execution copy" to Atlantique. The district court ruled that, based on a review of all of the factual circumstances, no contract was formed because the parties intended to be bound by a signed agreement, and dismissed Atlantique's contract claim.
The series was filmed in France, but in English, and Atlantique approached ION in early 2012 for U.S. distribution. Between May and July 2012, the parties negotiated the terms of a proposed distribution agreement, and their creative representatives concurrently exchanged comments on scripts, casting, etc. The business representatives settled on language for the written agreement, and on July 19, 2012, ION sent a "clean execution copy" (reserving ION's rights of corporate approval) and also proposed a "protocol" for signatures, with Atlantique to sign first, and ION to then seek its internal approvals and, if given, countersign. On July 20, ION emailed a revised "final execution copy" to Atlantique. Later, on July 20, Atlantique replied by email stating "we're closed!" and asked ION to vary the signature protocol by signing first, but ION declined. The parties made minor revisions to the term sheet and, on July 23, Atlantique then signed and emailed a "partially executed term sheet" back to ION, but ION – which had become increasingly concerned that this French production would not be suitable for a U.S. audience – did not countersign. Atlantique asked for a countersignature on July 24, and on July 25 ION told Atlantique that ION had not signed and that ION still had material creative concerns with the series that had to be addressed. Atlantique pressed for a counter-signature for some time, and then, in August, Atlantique (and its talent agent representatives at UTA) took the position that a binding agreement had been reached and invoiced ION for $1 million (for the first license fees that would have been due). The lawsuit was filed a few weeks later.
Atlantique argued that a binding, $4 million contract was formed in connection with a July 19-23 exchange because ION sent a "final execution copy" to Atlantique (without an express reservation of rights). Atlantique also argued (based in part on an alleged "custom and practice" in Hollywood of closing deals orally) that signatures were just a "formality," and mere "paperwork." The court rejected these arguments and ruled that the parties' negotiations and all the surrounding circumstances showed that the parties intended to be bound only by a mutually signed term sheet and that the parties had agreed on a protocol for signatures. Atlantique asked to vary it, ION declined, and Atlantique did in fact follow the protocol by "signing first." The court concluded: "Here, the uncontroverted facts demonstrate that the understanding between the parties in negotiating the agreement was that the term sheet had to be signed by both parties in order to be valid." The district court also dismissed Atlantique's other claims for promissory estoppel, unjust enrichment, and fraud.

I first had the idea to import wines in 2012. I wasn't from the industry and didn't realize "natural wine" was a thing at the time. All I knew was I couldn't drink wind from Trader Joes anymore. So after a year and a half of research and licensing my partner and I took off to Europe for 9 months of wine scouting. After methodically blind tasting through 1000s of wines, it was just so clear and obvious the best wines are from small vineyards, farmed organically and minimally made. Our next challenge was to find these wines at price points that make these wines available to everyone. Today our portfolio is made of about 18 small producers and we are really proud of our selection of natural wines that can be sold by the glass. Don't come looking for typical wines from typical regions, because we can't help you there.

Survive and thrive: Cherokee teams enter second day of tournament with little margin for error
Each of the three Cherokee County softball teams began their state tournament run with wins Thursday afternoon at the South Commons Softball Complex in Columbus, but they all fell in their second games, making their paths to a state championship became even more challenging.
After the third day in Columbus, only one team was still left playing.
Etowah 4, North Forsyth 1: Etowah scored three runs in the first inning, added one more in the second and held on for victory Friday night in Columbus.
North Forsyth outhit Etowah 7-3, but Paige Patterson and Kinsey Norton each homered while Norton scattered seven hits and allowed one earned run to earn the win.
The victory advanced Etowah (23-9) to the third day of the tournament, it will play at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning against Peachtree Ridge in an elimination game. The game will be a rematch of the teams' first game of the tournament which Etowah won 3-0.
Northgate 6, Creekview 4 (8 inn.): Creekview was three outs away from advancing, but Northgate scored two runs in the seventh inning to send the game to extra innings, then added three the following inning.
Creekview rallied for one in the bottom of the eighth, but it could not add anymore and was eliminated from the Class AAAAAA tournament Friday night.
Creekview finished its season at 28-6.
Emily Wilkie finished 2-for-4 with one run scored and two RBIs. Ari Wright finished 1-for-3 with one RBI and Sarah Paradis finished 2-for-3 with one run scored.
Ashton Schroyer, Sammi Martin, Sofia Jimenez, Sophie Baker and Julia Lehman all added hits for Creekview as well.
Lee County 5, River Ridge 2: Lee County scored twice in the first inning, added one more in the third and tacked on a couple more runs in the fifth as the Lady Trojans eliminated River Ridge from the Class AAAAAA tournament Friday night.
The Lady Knights ended their season at 22-13.
River Ridge scored one in the fourth inning and one in one more in the sixth, but Lee County's Abby Hughes was too much and earned the win. Hughes also finished 2-for-3 with four RBIs from the plate.
Becca Bray and Lily Bell each recorded two base hits for River Ridge, while Sydney Osada pitched six innings for the Lady Knights. Payton Halford and Gracie Hughes each recorded on RBI apiece for River Ridge.
Grayson 6, Etowah 0: Grayson scored twice in the bottom of the first inning and added on four runs late as Etowah fell in its second game of the Class AAAAAAA tournament Thursday night.
Kinsey Norton picked up Etowah's only hit of the game as the Lady Eagles were outhit 10-1.
"We kind of got away from what we've been doing all season long," Etowah coach Victoria Carter said. "We weren't seeing the ball very well at the plate and didn't get runners on to give ourselves a chance to score."
With the loss, Etowah moved to the consolation bracket and were set to play an elimination game Friday afternoon against North Forsyth.
Dacula 2, Creekview 1 (8 inn.): In one of the many one-run games on the first day of the Class AAAAAA tournament, Creekview fell in extra innings Thursday night.
Dacula got on the board first with one run in the bottom of the first inning, but Emily Wilkie's RBI double in the top of the sixth inning tied the game 1-1. After the game moved to extras, Dacula ended it with a walk-off victory when Nikki Lajarra scored on a passed ball.
Creekview moved into the consolation bracket and played Friday against Northgate in an elimination game.
Pope 1, River Ridge 0: Pope scored one run in its first at-bat of the game and it turned out to be enough as River Ridge fell in its second game of the day Thursday night.
Sydney Osada allowed three hits and struck out eight for River Ridge, but it wasn't enough as the Lady Knights were no-hit by Pope pitcher Hallie Adams.
"Down here, it's just a pitching clinic," River Ridge coach Andy Marinelli said. "Every single team has a girl who can get it done. It basically comes down to whichever team makes that first mistake."
The loss moved River Ridge into a consolation game against Lee County on Friday afternoon.
Scores of the evening games were not known as of press time.
Etowah 3, Peachtree Ridge 0: Etowah scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning and added one more on a Paige Patterson home run in the bottom of the fifth.
Kinsey Norton pitched a three-hit shutout.
"Kinsey pitched well against a good team," Etowah coach Victoria Carter said. "Every team we're going to face down here is going to be good."
Patterson, Norton, Molly Frost and Emma Yanes each recorded hits for Etowah, while Norton struck out eight in the circle.
Creekview 7, Evans 0: Ari Wright and Emily Wilkie each homered for Creekview in its first game Thursday afternoon.
The victory was the only game on the first day of the Class AAAAAA tournament that did not end by a one-run margin.
Wright's solo home run in the top of the fourth opened the scoring for Creekview, and Wilkie's three-run home run in the top of the seventh gave freshman pitcher Anslie Pettit all the room she needed. Pettit pitched a one-hit shutout, striking out five batters.
Creekview tallied seven runs on seven hits, but Evans pitcher Leah Powell was impressive in the loss, recording 16 strikeouts of her own.
River Ridge 5, Northgate 4 (12 inn.): In possibly the wildest game of the first round, River Ridge junior Sydney Osada pitched out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the bottom of the 12th to secure the win.
"That was probably the craziest game I've ever been a part of," River Ridge coach Andrew Marinelli said. "All the other games were done and you could see everyone in the park coming over to watch the ending of our game. After that final out, it was like we won a state championship because the emotions of that one were so up-and-down."
At the end of seven innings, the game was scoreless and Osada was working on a no-hitter. River Ridge scored one run each in the top of the 10th and 11th innings, only to see Northgate tie the game on both occasions. A three-run top of the 12th gave the Lady Knights a bit of breathing room but Northgate scored twice before loading the bases with no outs.
Osada then struck out two batters and induced a game-ending pop-up.
"Osada battled her tail off and got it done," Marinelli said. "This is the best I've ever seen her throw. She's definitely showing why she's going to Georgia."

Former President Barack and Michelle Obama are stepping into the film industry as Netflix has announced a multi-year deal with the Obamas, in which they will produce films and series for the streaming service.

Oakridge teachers contract talks getting testy
Updated Jan 20, 2019; Posted Feb 07, 2012
By Lynn Moore | lmoore8@mlive.com
Chronicle file photoNegotiations for a new teachers contract in Oakridge are heating up, with the union filing unfair bargaining charges and the administration seeking fact-finding from a neutral third party.
Negotiations on a new teachers union contract in Oakridge are heating up, with the union filing charges against the administration, which in turn is pursuing unbiased fact-finding.
The Oakridge Education Association has filed two charges with the Michigan Employment Relations Commission, alleging the school board has failed to bargain in good faith for a new labor contract.
The OEA claims the administration engaged in "regressive bargaining" when it switched an earlier proposal for a wage freeze to a salary reduction without demonstrating any change in the district's financial need to justify the change.
In addition, the union claims Superintendent Tom Livezey said there would be no teachers settlement until all employees moved to a different insurance carrier, including those who are not represented by the teachers contract. The OEA claims that statement, allegedly made in August, constituted setting preconditions on bargaining that violates the Michigan Public Employment Relations Act.
"We are trying to move these contract negotiations to resolution with the help of a mediator, but it is counterproductive when Mr. Livezey engages in these illegal bargaining tactics," OEA President Karyn Verge said in a prepared statement.
Tom Livezey
The school board believes the charges do "not have merit," Livezey said, referring to a timeline and details of the negotiations posted on the district's website, www.oakridgeschools.org. The proposals on the website show the district's latest proposal includes teachers keeping their MESSA health insurance, not demanding that they switch insurer, he said.
"Whatever they allege, there's plenty of history that demonstrates our willingness to give them what they desire," Livezey said, referring to the health insurance issue.
The latest proposal from the Oakridge administration, from November, includes a 10 percent pay cut. A proposal from the union on Jan. 19 includes a wage freeze, and sets financial conditions for reopening wage and benefits talks.
A statement from the school board in December said its latest proposal would result in the district's fund balance dropping to 5 percent of its general fund budget after next year, much lower than the board's policy of having a 10 percent fund balance. Livezey said the union's latest offer would drop the district below 5 percent.
"We have quality teachers who deserve quality benefits, but the board is committed to living within their means," Livezey said. "This is a school funding issue."
After four mediation sessions did not produce significant movement on the contract, the board filed for fact-finding, the next step in the process dictated by the Employment Relations Act. The idea behind fact-finding is to have a neutral third party examine the proposals and provide a nonbinding opinion on whether they are fair and reasonable.
Meanwhile, the union has asked the Michigan Employment Relations Commission to hold an evidentiary hearing on its charges against the Oakridge school board. No further mediation sessions have been scheduled.
The teachers contract expired July 1, 2010, and the two sides began mediation last fall in an effort to reach an agreement.

Vendée Globe Race Update: Thursday 12th January
With this year's edition of The Vendée Globe approaching its final days, British sailor Alex Thomson is in second place, 227 nautical miles behind French rival Armel Le Cléac'h.
With 91% of the race complete, Thomson is heading towards the Azores and sailing at a speed of 20.5 knots with 2211 miles standing between him and the race finish at Le Sables d'Olonne.
The Vendée Globe is a single-handed, non-stop, unassisted race around the world. Often termed 'the Everest of Sailing', the race – which comes around just every four years – pushes sailors to their very limits, requiring them to compete alone at sea without stopping, setting foot on dry land, or receiving any form of assistance, for around three months.

The Third Revolution: Xi Jingping and the New Chinese State
Author: , Date: 11 Aug 2018, Views:
English | May 3, 2018 | ISBN: 0190866071, 0190921633 | PDF | 360 Pages | 20.4 MB
In The Third Revolution, eminent China scholar Elizabeth C. Economy provides an incisive look at the transformative changes underway in China today. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has unleashed a powerful set of political and economic reforms: the centralization of power under Xi, himself, the expansion of the Communist Party's role in Chinese political, social, and economic life, and the construction of a virtual wall of regulations to control more closely the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world. Beyond its borders, Beijing has recast itself as a great power, seeking to reclaim its past glory and to create a system of international norms that better serves its more ambitious geostrategic objectives. In so doing, the Chinese leadership is reversing the trends toward greater political and economic opening, as well as the low-profile foreign policy, that had been put in motion by Deng Xiaoping's "Second Revolution" thirty years earlier.
Through a wide-ranging exploration of Xi Jinping's top political, economic and foreign policy priorities-fighting corruption, managing the Internet, reforming the state-owned enterprise sector, improving the country's innovation capacity, enhancing air quality, and elevating China's presence on the global stage-Economy identifies the tensions, shortcomings, and successes of Xi's reform efforts over the course of his first five years in office. She also assesses their implications for the rest of the world, and provides recommendations for how the United States and others should navigate their relationship with this vast nation in the coming years.

Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE), discovered by researchers at Washington State University over 20 years ago, is a viral infection in goats which can cause encephalitis in kids and chronic joint disease in adults.
The elusive nature of CAE complicates the goat raiser's ability to control the disease. Goats can be infected with CAE their entire lives and never display visible symptoms. The disease is more often seen in adult goats. Encephalitic seizures usually kill infected kids quickly.
Adults with visible signs of CAE often have over-sized knobby knees that are swollen in appearance. Sitting down is painful, so they don't wear the hair off their knees. Smooth knee pads can be an indication of CAE infection. Hard udders, sometimes without any milk at all, and fatal pneumonia are symptomatic of CAE. Progressive crippling arthritis is displayed in older adults. Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis is a retro-virus; in other words, antibodies created by the CAE-positive goat are not effective in attacking the virus. The presence of antibodies indicates infection but not immunity to the disease. AIDS in humans is also a retro-virus. While CAE is restricted to goats (caprines), other ruminants have their own species' versions of retro-viruses. Unlike Caseous Lymphadinitis (CL), another infectious disease found in some goats, CAE is not contagious to human beings.
Researchers at Washington State University found that 80% of the dairy goats which they tested carried the virus, while a smaller percentage displayed clinical (visible) symptoms of the disease. However, CAE is not unique to dairy goats, although it has been most commonly associated with dairy breeds in the past. With the appearance of the Boer goat into the United States and the cross-breeding frenzy which has occurred as breeders try to create an improved slaughter animal, CAE is showing up in many breeds in which it had not previously been found to exist.
The most direct infection route is from mother to kid through infected colostrum, body fluids, and milk. In order to maintain CAE-free herds, dairy-goat breeders often take kids from the dam at the moment of birth . . . never allowing her to touch them . . . and bottle-raise the kids on either pasteurized milk or milk replacer. The virus is directly connected to the production of white blood cells, so any body secretions which contain these cells are potential sources of infection for other members of the herd.
All tests currently available evaluate antibodies. Since not all CAE-infected goats have produced antibodies, "false negatives" are possible. A goat infected with CAE but who has not produced antibodies will test negative but still can shed the virus and infect other goats. If the goat has produced antibodies, it has the virus, will test positive, and will shed it to other herd members.
Complicating the matter even more, it is also possible to have negative kids out of a positive dam. Further, a dam who has given birth to twins can produce one offspring which tests positive and another that tests negative. . . out of the same litter. Kids under six months of age are extremely difficult to test accurately for CAE, so most laboratories recommend waiting until the offspring are eight months to one year old.
CAE testing is done on blood samples drawn from suspect goats either by a veterinarian or by the goat producer. Some laboratories, such as Pan American Veterinary Laboratories in Austin, Texas (1-800-856-9655), provide collection tubes for about $1.00US each and accept ice-packed shipments of blood vials for analysis. CAE tests cost about $5.00 US per blood sample, and the results are normally available in seven to ten days. The same blood sample can also be tested for other caprine diseases, like CL and Johne's Disease, for a few additional dollars. Eight to ten cc's of blood per animal is adequate for testing. Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (WADDL) is another reputable facility for testing. WADDL can be reached at Post Office Box 2037, Pullman, Washington 99165-2037 USA.
Several types of CAE tests exist and have varying degrees of accuracy. The ELISA test is generally recognized as the most reliable, displaying a sensitivity to CAE of up to 95.2%; the AGID test has produced results as low as 56%. These figures may be misleading, as many variables can affect the percentage results.
The long-term health of the herd directly affects sales and, therefore, profits. CAE-infected does produce up to 25% less milk than non-infected dams . . . assuming that they have milk at all. In production meat-goat herds, multiple births are desired, so milk production is important in raising marketable kids. Just as mastitis is not a desired condition, so is CAE. Less milk = smaller kids = reduced profit. Producers of breeding stock must offer disease-free herd sires and dams. Buyers will not pay top dollar for infected animals and will often require testing of animals prior to purchasing them. If the producer is shipping out-of-state or out-of-the-country, it is highly likely that these tests are required by animal health regulations. CAE is incurable at this time.
When buying animals to add to your herd, routinely quarantine them for a minimum of two weeks before putting them with your other goats, not just for CAE-testing purposes but also to evaluate them for shipping fever, soremouth, pinkeye, and a host of other illnesses to which goats are susceptible. Increased interest in goats world-wide, and particularly in the United States, means that lots of goats are being shipped every day. Producers who do not quarantine new purchases are asking for problems. Keeping a "closed herd" in an expansive market is difficult, so follow these minimal precautions.
Producers running hundreds or thousands of head obviously cannot afford individual testing. So be alert for knobby knees, and perform random testing annually and before kidding.
Goats can carry CAE their entire lives and never show an outward sign of it. These silently-infected animals can test negative for the antibody until stress or some other factor activates it. Don't let this incurable disease catch you off guard. Follow these simple, inexpensive steps to keep CAE out of your herd , and the entire meat-goat industry will benefit.

101. Britain, 2021: a new era of capitalist crisis
What is the outlook for class struggle in Britain in 2021? The pandemic was a world-shattering turning point. All the weaknesses of capitalism were laid bare in 2020. But in few countries more so than Britain. The nightmare which began in 2020 has not been limited to public health, but has infected the already-ailing world economy – with British capitalism the worst hit of all the major capitalist powers. Working-class and young people have already suffered hugely as the bosses try to pass on the pain. The bare-bones Brexit deal will only make things worse for Britain's capitalist rulers. Boris Johnson's Tory government has been completely exposed for its incompetence and craven defence of profit over lives. But Keir Starmer's Labour offers no opposition whatsoever. Britain's working class has no political voice – and desperately needs to build for a new, independent, mass workers' party. Already this year, the trade unions have overturned the government by forcing part-closure of schools. And young people showed they are ready to explode in protest in last year's Black Lives Matter movement. British capitalism is not well. Meanwhile, Britain's working class is angry – but lacks political organisation and leadership. This episode of Socialism look at Britain in 2021: a new era of capitalist crisis.

Black Agenda Radio
Black Agenda Radio 01.18.21
Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I'm Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford. Coming up: We hear a lot of discussion these days about the history of genocide against Black Americans, but many people are still unaware that Black leftists presented a petition to the United Nations charging the U.S. with genocide, 70 years ago. And, Patrice Lumumba, the first elected prime minister of the Congo, was assassinated 60 years ago, with the collaboration of the United States. A group of scholars marked the occasion with a discussion of Lumumba's political legacy. But first – it's been one helluva year, politically and on the public health arena. The Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations held a national conference, last week, to sum up the changes and challenges that emerged in 2020. Black Is Back is a Coalition of organizations. Betty Davis is a New York City activist who chairs the Coalition's Community Control of Education Working Group. She says Black folks need to seize control of their local education budgets. Ajamu Baraka is a veteran activist who ran for vice president on the Green Party ticket in 2016. He's national organizer for the Black Alliance for Peace, which is part of the Black Is Back Coalition. Baraka told the Coalition's year-end conference that U.S. imperialism was clearly in disarray in 2020. In 1951 Black entertainer and activist Paul Robeson and other Black leftists presented a petition to the United Nations demanding that the United States be held accountable for a long list of crimes against its Black population. The petition was titled "We Charge Genocide." Last week, Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly joined other Black activists and academics to commemorate the events of 70 years ago, in an online seminar. Dr. Burden-Stelly is a professor of Africana Studies and Political Science at Carleton College, and part of the team that produces BAR's Black Agenda Review. She reminds us that U.S. government atrocities against Black people have never stopped. Also present to commemorate the "We Charge Genocide" petition of 1951, was Dr. Trevor Ngwane, a lecturer at the Center for Sociological Research at the University of Johannesburg. Dr. Ngwane is co-author of the book, "Urban Revolt, State Power and the Rise of People's Movements in the Global South." He says Black South Africa is quite familiar with colonial perpetrators of genocide. Sixty years ago, the legally elected prime minister of the newly independence Democratic Republic of the Congo was assassinated as a result of plots orchestrated by the United States and its European allies. The Friends of Congo celebrate January 17 as Patrice Lumumba Day. To mark the occasion, activists and academics held on online seminar, moderated by Dr. Samuel T. Livingston, Associate Professor and Director of the African American Studies Program at Morehouse College. Among the speakers: Ludo De Witte, a Belgian sociologist and historian and author of his book, "The Assassination of Lumumba"; Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, a professor of African and Global Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Ira Dworkin, associate professor of English at Texas A&M University. Dworkin is author of "Congo Love Song: African American Culture and the Crisis of the Colonial State." He Black Americans immediately recognized the assassination of Lumumba as a crime against all people of African descent.

Money on the Left
Historicizing the Neoliberal Blockbuster (Preview)
This Money on the Left/Superstructure teaser previews our second premium release from Scott Ferguson's "Neoliberal Blockbuster" course for Patreon subscribers. For access to the full video lecture, subscribe to our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructure. If you are interested in premium offerings but presently unable to afford a subscription, please send a direct message to @moneyontheleft or @Superstruc on Twitter & we will happily provide you with membership access. *Course Description* This course examines the neoliberal Blockbuster from the 1970s to the present. It focuses, in particular, on the social significance of the blockbuster's constitutive technologies: both those made visible in narratives and the off-screen tools that drive production and reception. Linking aesthetic shifts in American moving images to broader transformations in political economy, the course traces the historical transformation of screen action from the ethereal "dream factory" of pre-1960s cinema to the impact-driven "thrill ride" of the post-1970s blockbuster. In doing so, we attend to the blockbuster's technological forms and study how they have variously contributed to social, economic, and political transformations over the past 40 years. We critically engage blockbusters as "reflexive allegories" of their own technosocial processes and pleasures. Above all, we think through the blockbuster's shifting relationship to monetary abstraction and the myriad additional abstractions monetary mediation entails. *Blockbusters:* 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968) Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975) Star Wars (George Lucas, 1977) RoboCop (Paul Verhoeven, 1987) Toy Story (John Lasseter, 1995) Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1993) The Matrix (Wachowskis, 1999) Avengers: Infinity War (Joe & Anthony Russo, 2018)

Gov. DeWine signs multibillion-dollar funding bill
He did so over the objections of affordable housing advocates. The governor promised to make housing a top priority in the coming session.
Nick Evans, OCJ
Gov. Mike DeWine announcing his approval of HB 45.
By: Nick Evans
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a measure passed late in the previous session which appropriates nearly $6 billion in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. The governor declined to issue any line-item vetoes despite calls to do so, particularly from affordable housing advocates.
Friday morning DeWine acknowledged "no legislation is perfect," but argued House Bill 45 delivered on his priorities like mental health funding. He described his decision to accept the housing provisions as part of the typical back-and-forth legislative process.
"Everybody has different priorities," DeWine said. "That provision in regard to housing was not a priority of mine, but it was, obviously, of some members of the General Assembly."
Stacking incentives
One of the changes making the affordable housing community nervous has to do with two tax incentives. One, is the federal low income housing tax credit; the other is Ohio's historic preservation tax credit. To make financing more feasible, developers paired these credits. Under HB 45, projects receiving the federal credit will be ineligible to receive the state credit.
Another change allows county auditors to assess affordable projects, which must offer below-market rent, as if they were operating as a market-rate development.
"These amendments threaten the financial viability of existing developments that house tens of thousands of seniors, children, and people with disabilities," Coalition on Housing and Homelessness in Ohio Executive Director Amy Riegel said in a press release urging DeWine to veto the provisions.
"And they will discourage the creation and rehabilitation of future affordable housing projects in Ohio at a time when housing costs are exploding," she added.
Lt. Gov. Jon Husted explained lawmakers raised concerns about developers stacking the two credits, "because that, in their minds, was not what that was designed for."
A comprehensive approach
In response to those concerns, DeWine promised to include what he terms "a comprehensive approach to our housing issues." Among those proposals is a state version of the low-income housing tax credit.
"It's something that a number of states have. We do not have it. I believe that it will be a game changer, if the legislature does in fact approve that. So that will be a very top priority," DeWine explained.
In addition, DeWine will propose an expansion of the historic preservation tax credit.
Husted argued the new state tax credit should be able to make up for any losses that come from not being able to stack incentives.
"That will help fill in any funding gaps that may that this legislation may have created," Husted said. "And we should be able to determine if there are any negative impacts to the local tax treatment because we will see at that point whether or not there is a reduction in the number of people taking advantage of both the federal and state tax credits as we move forward."
The right approach?
Still, budget proposals aren't binding. With DeWine's signature, legislative leaders have gotten what they wanted. There's no guarantee lawmakers will consider DeWine's proposal.
The governor and the lieutenant governor, though, contend they've received assurances their ideas will get a fair hearing. "We have the commitment of the Senate President," DeWine argued, "that that debate will occur, and we will have ample opportunity to make our case."
DeWine dismissed suggestions that vetoing the housing provisions now might bring lawmakers to the negotiating table in a few months to hash out housing policy in the budget. "There's a trust question here," DeWine said.
"I did not feel that, in good faith, for the agreement we had before and agreements we might have in the future, that this would be a very wise thing to do," DeWine added.
Support despite misgivings
COHHIO's Amy Reigel issued a statement after DeWine's announcement expressing frustration with his decision but applauding his plans for the coming session. In particular, she warned that without legislative tweaks Ohio won't be able to access $161 million emergency rental assistance from the feds.
"Rents are increasing at an unprecedented rate, evictions have returned to pre-pandemic levels, and local agencies can't find affordable rental units to move people out of homelessness," Reigel said. "The state government has time to craft a state housing tax credit, but there is no time left for thousands of Ohioans who have an eviction notice on their front door."
She encouraged DeWine to use additional American Rescue plan dollars to "jumpstart" his affordable housing initiatives in the coming year.
Meanwhile, other organizations were quick to register their approval of the governor's decision.
The County Commissioners Association singled out a relatively small but "crucial" appropriation for new electronic poll books. The organization also cited significant investments in sewer and water systems, lead mitigation, and workforce housing.
