Rashad Richey Helps Fulton Magistrate Court Empower Residents
Leave a Comment	/ Business / By ABJ Digital Staff
Dr. Rashad Richey is a popular Metro-Atlanta talk radio personality and current law student at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School who has overcome significant challenges to become a beacon for change locally and nationally. Richey is now utilizing his experiences, expertise and coalition building background to work with Magistrate Court of Fulton County and develop specialty programs to bridge gaps between communities and the court.
Richey was appointed by Chief Judge Cassandra Kirk to develop and enhance outreach opportunities to educate residents and court-users on legal processes, find community remedies for potential evictions, enhance relationships with nonprofits, and provide support to various existing community initiatives.
During Richey's tenure, he has been able to coordinate programs to help residents avoid evictions, increase the Court's outreach with community groups, create opportunities for youthful offenders seeking mentorship, implement a county-wide toy drive for foster kids during the holidays, develop partnerships with well-known and reputable organizations like Hosea Helps to provide free legal clinics and enhanced the overall connectivity between the community and Magistrate Court.
When Richey was asked about his already busy schedule and how magistrate court fits in, he said, "I'm thankful to serve. God gave me a second chance at life and I try to use every minute of my day to make a positive impact. The work at Magistrate Court is nonstop because the need is nonstop. That's why they are affectionately known as the people's court because so many people utilize their services. Even when the hours are long, it's worth seeing the impact of helping a family stay in their home, coordinating free legal clinics for those who cannot afford an attorney, and working to ensure communities know their options and rights.
Richey has brought organizations on-board like STAND, Inc. to help provide support for participants in Mental Health Court and even organized businesses to assist with paying rent for Fulton residents who were feeling the financial impact of Covid-19. "When Rashad came to me about becoming a housing and rehabilitative services partner with Fulton Magistrate Court, I was unaware that the need was so massive. A year later and we're looking to roll out another program to further help those in need who come through Judge Kirk's court", said Charles Sperling, Executive Director of STAND, Inc.
Almost daily, Richey works with organizations and community leaders like Richard Rose, President of the Atlanta NAACP, to help develop and maintain a responsive court. "Chief Magistrate Judge Cassandra Kirk has been a true change agent in her quest for justice and service to the citizens of Fulton County. That includes assembling a team of full-time judges, part-time judges, and support staff and consultants. Adding Dr. Rashad Richey is consistent with her high standards and her commitment to providing efficient access to the court. Richey has experience beyond his years along with his education and never-ending quest for knowledge. He has demonstrated his devotion to service to the community", said Rose.
Mrs. Elisabeth Omilami, CEO & President of Hosea Helps said, "Chief Judge Cassandra Kirk was insightful enough to appoint Dr. Richey to this role and it has proven to be a great benefit to Fulton County and to Hosea Helps. Inc. We have enjoyed helping others through our partnership with the court."
Richey has always had a heart for the youth. "I was once a young knucklehead and know what it's like to lack opportunity… I also know what it's like to have it", said Richey. Melvin Coleman, Executive Director of the Atlanta Black Chambers worked with Richey to create a mentorship program for young offenders. "We've been working with Rashad for a while through the Fulton County Magistrate Court. His ability to connect the dots is second to none. Fulton Residents are being well served", said Coleman.
Fulton Chief Magistrate Judge Cassandra Kirk has developed a reputation for being an accessible and effective public official. "Being able to partner with the organizations and opportunities available through Dr. Richey has been a sea change for our Court. His vision mirrors mine for the Magistrate Court that informs, engages and empowers our community. It is crucial we connect with and are responsive to those we serve and in this, Dr. Richey has been instrumental," said Kirk.

Q: How to add hours to date using LINQ query? I need to get the last seven dates and add -4 hours to each date from my database
My SQL Query will be :
select DATEADD(hh, -4, [DateColumn])
from mydatabse.dbo.mytable
where DATEDIFF(dd, DATEADD(hh, -4, [DateColumn]), getdate()) between 1 and 7
group by DATEADD(hh, -4, [DateColumn])

Could anyone help me to convert this SQL query to LINQ ?

A: I suppose you're using C#? Please see if the following fits your need:
using System.Data.Entity.SqlServer;

from a in mydatabase.mytable
let d = SqlFunctions.DateAdd("hh", -4, a.DateColumn)
let e = SqlFunctions.DateDiff("dd", d, SqlFunctions.GetDate())
where e >= 1 && e <= 7
group a by d into g
select g.Key;

A: Haven't compiled it just try this
 var yourRecord =  DBContext.Table.Where(x => DbFunctions.AddDays(DateTime.Now, -7) <= x.YourDate && x.YourDate <= DateTime.Now).FirstOrDefault();
       yourRecord.YourDate = DateTime.Now.AddHours(4);

Back by popular demand, Waimakariri Aquatic Facilities are hosting an event for the district's furriest residents.
On Sunday 10 March, the Oxford Community Aquatic Centre will be closed to humans, and instead puppies will take the plunge.
It's called the Oxford Doggy Pool Party, and Waimakariri Aquatic Facilities Manager, Matt Greenwood, says it's great to be able to bring the event back for second time.
The pool party is scheduled for the last day of the season, meaning any leftover fur or doggy messes will be easily handled.
"Afterwards the water will be chemically treated, the pool vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned. It's standard maintenance we do to prepare for the winter months and that allows us to host this event without creating a lot of extra work for our staff," explained Matt Greenwood.
The entry fee is $5 per pooch and there will be plenty of balls to play with as well as spot prizes. The toddler's pool will be once again equipped with platforms to allow the smaller dogs to paddle.
With last year's event jam-packed, it pays to turn up early!


The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has issued a new inspection bulletin enumerating the responsibilities of drivers and safety officers during an hours-of-service inspection when an electronic logging device (ELD) is used.
The CVSA is a nonprofit alliance of state, local, territorial, provincial, and federal commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety officials and industry representatives in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.
On January 19, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published in the Federal Register a three-month ELD mandate waiver for short-term rental trucks.
The exemption was sought by the Truck Rental and Leasing Association (TRALA) late last year and took effect on January 19. It would run until April 19, 2018.
The 90-day waiver — which is a one-time exemption — allows short-term rental trucks to use paper logs to record their hours of service (HOS) and grants rental companies more time to install an electronic logging device (ELD).
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has extended the comment periods for the HOS exemption proposal for ag haulers and the proposal to slightly alter the existing personal conveyance guidelines.
The FMCSA is now seeking comments on both these proposals until February 20, 2018.
Here are the details of each proposal.
According to the existing regulations, livestock and ag haulers are allowed to operate within the 150 air-miles radius of the source of the ag products or livestock without maintaining records of duty status (RODs).
Transportation researchers are pushing for the implementation of truck parking detection technologies. Their study revealed that the system could be crucial to helping truck drivers find available parking areas — for which there is already a shortage.
The hours-of-service rules require drivers to stop driving and park their vehicles after their driving limit is over for the day. However, drivers often struggle to find an available parking area before their HOS clock ends, according to Caroline Boris, a research analyst at the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI).
The FMCSA's ELD mandate took effect on December 18, 2017.
After the electronic logging device mandate implementation, we have so far seen a few enforcement issues, changes in the ELD adoption rates, and tighter market conditions that aligned in favor of truckers.
Let's discuss all that and more in this blog post. We will start with the ELD enforcement issues that commercial drivers and carriers need to be aware of.
Last month, the U.S. net trailer orders reached an all-time high figure. The Freight Transportation Research (FTR) reported that the trailer orders reached 47,000 units, which is a new record.
Once the data on trailer orders are finalized, FTR expects that last month's orders would exceed the previous record of 45,800 units in October 2014.

" If ever there was a book that needed to be written for our field, Urban Myths About Learning And Education is it...should be essential reading for all graduate students, not to mention faculty, administrators (K-12 and higher education), and educational policy makers." --TechTrends
"...provides useful summaries of a wide array of issues that the authors believe are myths." --PsycCRITIQUES
"A marvelous compendium of plausible-sounding ideas about education that have seeped into popular culture, but have little or no scientific support. Carefully documented yet a pleasure to read, this book should be required reading in all teacher training programs." --Daniel T. Willingham, Professor, University of Virginia
"If ever there was a book that needed to be written for our field, Urban Mythes About Learning and Education is it. Pedro De Bruyckere, Paul Kirschner, and Casper Hulshof have created an important contribution to our literature base, a text that should be essential reading for all graduate students, not to mention faculty, administrators (K-12 and higher education), and educational policy makers. This book makes significant strides in debunking many of the prevalent misunderstandings and misinterpretations of frequently cited educational research claims. Learning styles, digital natives, multiple intelligences, and brain training, they are all here and thoroughly analyzed for their veracity."--Barbara B. Lockee, Virginia Tech for TechTrends

Review by Rolf S. on 18 Jun 2018 review stating Urban Myths
Authors have the expertise to deconstruct popular, but unfounded assumptions about media use in teaching and learning. Today a critical analysis of the use of digital media, especially smartphones, is needed, since many teachers, lecturers, and professors, do not throw a sceptical eye onto the enthusiastic trends of digitalization. The book selects some aspects, called Urban Myths, which are widely spread and shared by many, but nevertheless wrong, and the authors confront them with scientific empirical research and psychological theory.

Railway Lapses Led To Utkal Express Derailment In Muzaffarnagar
Dainik Hawk | 22 Aug 2017 2:51 PM GMT
Muzaffarnagar: Railway Safety Commissioner Shailesh Kumar Pathak has admitted that lapses on the part of the railway's engineering section led to the derailment of the Kalinga Utkal express near Khatauli station on August 19. The Safety commission, which held a day-long probe at Khatauli station after visiting the accident site, told reporters here yesterday that the Permanent Way Inspector had sought rail traffic to be blocked for 20 minutes for repair but the request was denied. However, despite denial of request, the gangmen went for the repair of the tracks which led to the derailment. "If the Control room had blocked rail traffic, the mishap could have been avoided but still it is under the investigation that how the repair work was done when there was no blockade of the tracks," he said. The Control room had refused to give the blockade as there was huge rush of trains at that period. The Commission has also taken the congisance of the telephonic call which went viral on the social media between the station master and the control over the blockade. Mr Pathak spent around 75 minutes on the accident spot inquiring the officials and eye-witnesses. He is expected to submit his report to the railway ministry within a month. Meanwhile, the entire team of Gangmen which was doing the repair works on the tracks when the accident occurred has gone missing and they were yet to appear before the Commissioner though the suspended Junior Engineer Pradeep Kumar, who was the head of the team, appeared before the Safety commissioner. The Kalinga-Utkal express derailed near Khatauli outer signal when 13 of its coaches went off the rails, leaving 23 passengers dead and over 200 injured. Cracking the whip, Railways sent eight seniors officers, including Member (Engineer) in the Railway Board, Aditya Kumar Mittal, Northern Railway General Manager R K Kulshrestha and Divisional Railway Manager (Delhi) R N Singh, on leave. Mr R K Verma, Senior Divisional Engineer, Delhi division, Rohit Kumar, Assistant Engineer (Meerut), Inder Jeet Singh, Senior Section Engineer (Muzzafarnagar) and Pradeep Kumar, Junior Engineer (Khatauli) were suspended. An FIR had also been lodged against unknown persons under sections 287 (negligent conduct with respect to machinery), 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), 304(A) (causing death by negligence) and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) of the Indian Penal Code and sections 151 (damage to or destruction of certain railway properties) and 153 (endangering safety of persons travelling by railway by wilful act or omission) of Railway Act.

Santa Ana arriving on July 24. well satisfied that this is the garden spot of the country.
CHARLES C. READ. — An esteemed, retired citizen of Santa Ana who saw much
of the great Northwest, through business trips he made there, before he came to Cali-
fornia, is C. C. Read of South Birch Street, one of the first settlers in that part of
the city. He was born in Compton, Kane County. 111., on November 22, 1844, the
son of Ephalet Read, who had married Malinda Myers and had migrated with her
from their native home in New Brunswick to Illinois in 1838. Our subject was edu-
cated in Kane County, at the common district schools, and helped his father, who
was a grain and stock farmer there, having developed his farm from the raw prairie.
On December 17, 1874, C. C. Read was married at Fulton, in Whiteside County,
111., to Miss Margaret Ellen Wilson, a native of Whiteside County, and the daughter
of Thomas and Margaret (Laughlin) Wilson, well-situated farmers She attended the
schools of her home district, and so was prepared for the responsibilities of life.
After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Read purchased a farm of 265 acres, and there,
in Kane County, they lived for fourteen years, while they carried on general farm-
ing and stock raising.
When they had advantageously rented this farm. Mr. and Mrs. Read moved to
Sycamore. 111., where they lived for twelve years, and thefe he bought and sold stock.
He made trips to Iowa and Minnesota, in order to buy stock, which he again sold;
and after a while he returned to Kane County and for another seven years lived on
the home farm again. He disposed of it finally, when he had decided to move to the
Pacific Coast, in 1908. He arrived in Santa Ana in the spring, and a year later built
his home at 402 South Birch Street. At the time when Mr. Read built his home
there the tract between Birch and Ross streets was a barley held, and his was the
first home that far south on the west side of the street.
In 1912 his son, Walter Wilson Ixead. purchased from Dr. Samuel Strock a
walnut and orange grove of thirteen acres on the Santa Ana Canyon Boulevard
north of Olive, which he still owns. Walter W. Read was born in Kane County,
111., in 1881, and was a student at Wheaton College, at Wheaton. 111. He married
Miss Mabel E. Chaffee, who was liorn in Kane County, and also educated there. Three
children blessed their union: Charles C. a high school student of Santa Ana: and
Morris Wilson and Mary Emily, pupils of the grammar school.
C. C. Read adopted two children in 1879: William C. Katten, nine years of
age, and Emily Manning, a year younger. She lives at present in Chicago. William
C. Read was born in 1870. and was educated in the common schools of Kane County,
III. He spent his boyhood and youth on his adopted father's farm, and was married
on September 22. 1894, to Miss Maude E. Anderson, a native of De Kalb, 111., where
she was educated in the local schools. He took up painting and worked at that
trade until he came to California in 1909. Three children have been born to them.
Genevieve C. is now Mrs. A. McConnel! of Santa Ana: Rheta E. is a student of the
Santa Ana Business College, and Claude C. is a pupil in the grammar school. Wil-
liam C. Read is a member of the Modern Woodmen, and believes in the fitness of man
for office regardless of party.
JOHN D. LAVIN. — A highly-esteemed citizen of Orange County, now retired,
who has merely continued to operate in California according to the same high stand-
ards and approved methods as characterized him in former years, having always been
a man of affairs wherever he has lived, is John D. Lavin, who was born in Ireland,
came to America with his parents while a babe in arms, lived at Windsor, Ont., until
he was thirteen years of age, and ever since then has resided in the United States.
He lived for a while in Michigan, and finished his education at Bryant & Stratton's
Business College in Chicago.
As a young man he started railroading, in the service of the Chicago & Grand
Trunk Railway, and after a while became agent for that company at Flint, Mich. In
March. 1880. he removed to South Dakota, and at Columbia, then 120 miles from a
railroad, established the first mercantile business in Brown County, which he continued
for fifteen years. He was mayor of Columbia, and he also served as one of the com-
missioners of Brown County, part of the time acting as chairman of the board. He
and his two sisters owned 1.600 acres of fine farm land in South Dakota, which they
leased out to tenants on shares.
For twenty years Mr. Lavin was grand recorder for the state of South Dakota
of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, with headquarters at Aberdeen; he was
appointed by Governor Herried as a member of the state lioard of charities and cor-
rection, having iii charge all the state charitable and penal institutions. He resigned
his position with the Workmen in 1909 to come to California on account of his sisters'
health. Since locating in Anaheim, he has been active in civic aft'airs. as he was in
South Dakota, although retired from business, merely overseeing the general man-
agement of his fine ten-acre ranch in South Los .\ngeles Street, which he set out to
\'alencia oranges in July. 1919. For a number of years he was a director in the
German-American, now the Golden State National. Bank of Anaheim, and he is
now a member of the Anaheim Pu1)lic Library Board, and was formerly chairman of
the same. He is a member of the Catholic Church, belongs to the Knights of Colum-
bus, and also to Anaheim Lodge No. 1345, B. P. O. Elks.
LEWIS G. BUTLER.— A very interesting "old-timer" who. as a pioneer farmer,
nurseryman and grower of citrus fruit, has made a definite contribution to the growth
and development of Southern California, is Lewis G. Butler, of 1211 Van Ness Avenue,
Santa Ana, who eniovs. with his good wife, the high esteem of many friends. He was
born at Prairie du Chien. Wis., on February 28. 1851. the son of George H. and Eliza-
beth (Schoolcraft) Butler, natives of New York State who came west to Wisconsin.
His father followed agricultural pursuits, and when our subject was a babe, his parents
moved to Iowa, where they settled on a farm, and there the father died when Lewis was
only three years old.
After the father's death, Mrs. Butler removed, first, to Belvidere, and then to
Svcamore, 111., takincr the four children, among whom Lewis G. was the third in
the order of birth, ^^'hen ten years old, he went to live with an uncle. Peter Lawyer,
a farmer at Sycamore, and with him he stayed, working out on farms until he was
eighteen. Then he removed to Iowa and there worked for two years for another
uncle, also named Lawyer. Another change brought him to Lincoln, Nebr., where ho
labored at farm work for a couple of years.
In the fall of 1874, he made still another change, and one calculated to bring him
still greater prosperity and happiness. He came out to California and settled at
Orange. The year previous he had been married in Nebraska to Miss Martha H.
Selby, a native of Ohio and a daughter of George Selby, and Mrs. Butler came along
to the Golden State to assist him to win his fortune and to make a comfortable homi..
He worked for a while for Lockwood on East Chapman Street, cultivated his
orange orchard and put Out nursery stock for him. He then entered the employ of
Dr. Beach, who also had an orange orchard and raised nursery stock, besides prac-
ticing medicine. Thus Mr. Butler rapidly extended a valuable experience, and he cam.-
to enjoy the reputation of l>eing the boss budder in the county.
He budded, for example, the first Washington Navels in the district of Orange,
getting his Inids from Tom Covert of Riverside, who had one of the old original treci
sent out from Washington. And about this time he started in the nursery business i.i
Orange, lirst as a partner of Dr. Beach; he planted fifteen acres to oranges and live
acres to apricots, and the results attracted wide attention. He also owned twenty
acres on Hast Walnut Street in Orange.
.'\lways, too, a fancier of good horses, a chance acquaintance with the late
John Bushard in the Wintersburg district, resulted in his turning his attention to
that field, so that he l^ecame a partner of Mr. Bushard and bought a ranch of 400
and eighty acres south and west of where Wintersburg is now located. At the end of
three years this partnership was dissolved, and then Mr. Butler went up into the
San Jacinto Valley, improved a ranch and fruit land, and came to own 160 acres there.
and there he prospered for the ensuing thirty years. In March. 1918, he let go his
holdings there, and the following November he removed to Santa .'\na.
Mr. and Mrs. Butler have had one child-, Chester G., who died in September.
1917, at the age of thirty-five, leaving a large circle of steadfast friends. Mrs. Butler
belongs to the Christian Church, and both husband and wife find pleasure in sup-
porting movements calculated to make California, and especially Orange County, a
better place in which to. live.
NIELS JOHNSON. — .\n honest, kind-hearted and highly esteemed citizen of Pla-
centia, who, while seeking to live a retired life, free from the cares of labor or invest-
ment, finds it hard to kee)) his hands off the plow entirely, and who therefore may
often be seen superintending the work of the harvest, is Niels Johnson of East Chap-
man .Avenue, a native of Southern Denmark, where he was born near Kolding, Novem-
ber 5. 1847. His father was a grain farmer, and as the eldest of a fan-iily of seven
children, Niels had to go to work early in life. He attended the ordinary grammar
schools, and when he grew up, served in the Danish army for the required term, until
he had obtained his honorable discharge. After that Mr. Johnson went across the
border into Slesvig to work at harvesting, as he rece.ved lietler wages there than at Irs
old home in Soutlurn Denmark. He remained there and in due tine, met a young lady,
the ac(|naiiitam r npcning into a more lasting tie and she became his wife. She was
Miss Mi.tt:i \<. I'.iiils.in. born in Apenrade, Slesvig. a woman of attractive personality,
and thtir union \\;i^ indeed a happy one.
After thru- man-iage Mr. and Mrs, |ol,"vun m-a^ed in farming, but Mr. lohnson's

already eon-e lo California and located in \\ atsom die. and here the travelers came.
For three and a iu'lf years Mr. Johnson worked at VVatsonville in the lumber yards;
then throu.gh Peter Hansen, whose wife was a cousin of Mrs. Johnson, and who resided
at Fullerton. Mr. John.fon learned about Orange County, and the story of its wonderfrl
possibilities led hin-i to bring his family there. On their arrival, Mr. Johnson purchased
four acres near Placentia. aiul in the follow:ng years, as he worked for the .Anahe'm
Union Water Company, he purchased more land and brought the same to a h-gh state
of cultivation. About the year 1890. he bought twenty acres from the Stearns Land
Company in the Placentia district and later bought eight acres on East Chapman
Street, which is now devoted to oranges. The twenty-acre ranch has been leased and
successfully exploited for oil, and he now^ derives a good income from it; he has also
leased his horiie place for oil recently. The balance of his land has been .g'ven to h's
children. In 1920 Mr. Johnson built a modern bun.galow on his East Chapman Street
property, and here he res-dcs w-iUi his eldest d'.t'.ght-r. .\it.t "1"-: pres'des o-'cr his

home in a charming manner and shows her devotion by looking after his comfort and
entertaining his many friends. The other living children are: George, a rancher at
Placentia; Dora, the wife of Frank Trendle of Orangethorpe Avenue; and Raymond,
a rancher at Placentia, who served in an artillery regiment overseas during the World
War. Mr. Johnson is a stockholder in the Anaheim Union Water Company, and he is
a charter member of the Placentia Orange Growers Association.
.\ sorrow never to lie effaced came into the life of this happy home circle in the
death on Novcmliei- 14, 1''18, of Mrs. Johnson, who passed away after a short illness
due to a fall, in her sixt.\-lifth year. She was operated on at the Fullerton Hospital,
and was belie\ ed to lie progressing toward complete recovery, when she passed away
very suddenly. She meant much not merely to her near of kin, but to the communitj'
as a whole, and it is not surprising that Mr. Johnson attributes much of his success in
life to the inspiration of her noble character and her hdelity as a loving and ever
devoted helpmate.
ERNEST A. BEARD.— When we are temporarily deprived of the use of the tele-
phone we begin to realize what an important part that invention plays in our modern
business and social life. The telephone system of Anaheim and Fullerton is under the
competent management of Ernest A. Beard, a native of Ohio, who was born in Richland
County in that state Novemlier 16. 1877. He is the son of Charles W. and Charity
(Baker) Beard. While living in the East the father was an insurance agent and was
also engaged in the implement business. The family came to Santa Ana, Cal., in 1881,
where the father engaged in business and for a number of years was one of the city
officials of Santa Ana, His demise occurred in 1910.
Ernest A., the youngest child in a family of four children, was four years of age
when he accompanied his parents to California. He received a competent education
in the schools of Santa Ana, and later attended the Los Angeles Business School, from
which he graduated, .\fter taking up the responsibilities of life he was engaged as a
telegraph operator, and for four years was in charge of the Santa Ana postal office.
He afterwards went north and learned the harness trade, which he followed for six
years. After this he was on an eastern farm for two years, and upon returning to Cali-
fornia followed the occupation of farming. Following this he engaged in selling trac-
tors and in the automobile business for the next ten years, and in 1918 became inter-
ested with the Anaheim telephone company, which is also in charge of the Fullerton
system, with headquarters at Anaheim. Since assuming the management of the tele-
phone company Mr. Beard has demonstrated his ability to fill that important position.
He still maintains his ^"alencia orange grove, which is located on East Santa Ana
Street about one-half mile east of town. He is a member of Anaheim Lodge, No. 1345,
B. P. O. Elks.
His marriage occurred March 8, 1906, uniting him with Miss Anna Morthland, and
they are the parents of a daughter named Loma. Mr. Beard, who is musically inclined,
finds diversion from the arduous cares of business life in the art of music and is man-
ager of the Anaheim band. He is also fond of the sports of hunting and fishing, but
dearer than all else to his heart is his interest in the successful growth and development
of the county in which his lot in life is cast. Although a Republican in principles, he
does not allow party prejudice to influence his vote, ever seeking to lend his influence
for the man best fitted for the office, regardless of party affiliations.
HENRY J. HARKLEROAD. — .\n important overseer on the Irvine ranch, who
has also become a successful tenant and a prosperous landowner, is Henry J. Harkle-
road, foreman of the Harkleroad Camp, or that portion of the San Joaquin ranch con-
taining some 815 acres planted to walnut, lemon, orange and avocado trees, and irri-
gated by means of wells and pumping plants. He is also an individual tenant on the
same San Joaquin ranch, leasing 200 acres of bean and barley land individually and in
partnerships operating another lease of 600 acres devoted to the same products.
A native son, as one might suspect from his aggressive progressiveness, Mr. Hark-
leroad was born at Hollister on February 26, 1877, the son of Henry J. Harkleroad, a
native of Tennessee, who came to California and here married Mi-ss Caroline Welborn,
of Maryland. He was a rancher at Hollister, where he owned 160 acres of land. He
died in 1884, when our subject was only seven years old; and Mrs, Harkleroad passed
away in 1917. They had four children: Lucy resides at San Jose; Henry T. is the
subject of this review; Samuel W. is the manager of the Andrew Mattei Commercial
Company of Fresno; and George A. is principal of the high school at Fall Brook, San
Diego County.
Henry attended the public schools at Hollister, but being the oldest son, he had
a great deal of responsibility thrust upon him through the early death of his father.
He managed, however, to get in a good course at the Hollister Business College, and
when a young man he went to San Francisco and enlarged his experience as a foreman
for three years in the Union Iron Works. There he learned to handle men — now
unquestionably his forte. He was foreman in the chipping department of the cast steel
foundry, many of their castings being used in the construction of vessels, among them
the battleships Wisconsin and Ohio and the cruiser California, as well as some of the
first submarines turned out for the government. Next he was in the real estate and
insurance business at Hollister and San Jose, through which activity and experience he
became a still better judge of human nature. After that he was for several years in
charge of his mother's ranch, helping her to successfully handle her estate.
On December 1, 1908, Mr. Harkleroad came to Orange County and for the lirst
two years was employed on the home ranch for the Irvine Company as foreman and
since 1910 he has been in charge of the Harkleroad Camp as stated above. He also
owns 320 acres in Arizona, eighty acres 'in Los Angeles County, five acres in Orange
County and ten acres in Madera County.
On June 30, 1906, Mr. Harkleroad was married at Hollister to Miss Mae Fowler
of Mulberry, San Benito County, a native of Portland, Ore. He is a Republican in
national politics and fraternally is a Knights Templar Mason and a Shriner, as well
as a member of the Santa Ana Lodge of Elks. Mr. Harkleroad has become a very
enthusiastic booster for Orange County and the Southland from observation and experi-
ence, and his two boys, Henry J., Jr., and William F. Harkleroad, bid fair to display
the same virtues.
WM. OSCAR WILSON. — A native son who has become one of the most success-
ful bean ranchers is Wm. Oscar Wilson, who was born in the city of Ventura on May
19, 1892, the second son of William Wilson, the pioneer lima bean grower on the
Irvine ranch. Oscar, as all of his friends call him, was only five years old when, on an
October day, he came to Irvine, where he grew up on his father's ranch, and had as
good time as any boy in the county. He attended the local public schools at Irvine and
Tustin, and applied himself to his studies sufficiently to make it worth the while, later,
to take a course in the excellent Orange County Business College at Santa Ana, where
he was graduated in 1909.
His father had allowed him a workman's wages since his seventeenth year, and
with his studies ended, he went in for some of this world's goods. He had felt very
deeply the loss in his fifteenth year of his mother (who was Miss Emma Shepard, of
Missouri, before her marriage), but fortunately he was already enthused with certain
ideals, and resolved to make his way forward and upward, and to enjoy success. His
decision to remain at home with his father until he himself set up a domestic establish-
ment was favorable to the quiet formation of a sturdy character such as those who
know him highly esteem. When he was nineteen, at Santa Ana, June 10, 1911, he was
joined in wedlock to Miss Lenore Brenot, a stepdaughter of Abe W. Johnson of Irvine.
She is a native daughter, born at Irvine.
Mr. Wilson spent some time at Capistrano on his father's lease, and then he
worked for three years in Santa .\na. He began farming operations for himself three
years ago, and now he has under lease from the Irvine ranch, and planted, about 250
acres. One hundred forty of these are given to lima beans; sixty to blackeye beans;
and fifty acres to barley hay. Twelve head of mules furnish for him the motor power
for which the mule is famous.
Two children have blessed the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Wilson, adding
happiness to their happy home, a daughter and a son, Elizabeth Adell and William
Wesley. Fraternally Mr. Wilson is a member of Santa Ana Lodge No. 236, I. O. O. F.
and of the Encampment, and with his wife is a member of the Rebekahs.
HENRY F. GIBBS. — An enterprising, thoroughly capable ranchman of Hunting-
ton Beach, is Henry F. Gibbs, who resides at his ranch two and a half miles northeast
of the town, where he devotes thirty acres to the cultivation of sugar beets and berries.
He was born on January 9. 1880. in Nodaway County, Mo., the son of Henry Gibbs,
now the proprietor of the grocery business at the corner of Walnut and Main streets,
which was established by the son. Henry Gibbs was born on November 22, 1850, at
Tunbridge in Kent, some thirty miles from London, and his father was James Gibbs,
a native of England and a farmer who came to America and settled in Wisconsin.
He came out here in 1857, two years before the rest of his family, and in Wisconsin was
joined by his wife and a daughter and five sons. Henry Gibbs' mother was employed
by Queen \'ictoria as a housemaid, and in the performance of her duties about the castle,
often conversed with the Queen. Mrs. Henry Gibbs was Lucy Latter, a native also
of England. When James Gibbs came to VVisconsin, he farmed at Waukesha, and
owing to the primitive conditions of that region, Henry's schooling was very limited.
Grandfather Gibbs died when Henry was nineteen years old, and three of the ten
children of the family having died when they were in England, Henry F. was the
next to the youngest. Henry Gibbs worked out on farms at twelve cents a day in
harvest time, carrying water to the cradlers and binders — a jug of water in one hand,
and a jug of whiskey in the other; harvesting was then done by cradling, and binding
was performed by hand.
In Wisconsin Henry Gibbs met and married Jeanette or Nettie Cross, a native
of Macomb County, Mich., where she was born on March 24, 1855. She was reared in
that state until her twelfth year, and then she came with her parents to southeast
Wisconsin. Her father, Leonard Cross, a New Yorker, was kicked by a horse and he
died from the injury, passing away a day after Nettie was fifteen years old. Her mother
was Elizabeth Woodard, a daughter of Vermont. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gibbs were
married in 1873, and a year after they removed to Nodaway County, Mo., where they
farmed for twelve years.
In 1886, they came to California, and settled in Los Angeles, and there engaged
in the sale of staple and fancy groceries. In 1896 Mr. Gibbs bought a ranch of twenty
acres at Smeltzer, Cal., and in 1902, he went to Santa Ana, where for two and a half
years he busied himself with real estate deals and the management of a restaurant.
As a business man at present in Huntington Beach, he is one of the oldest merchants
in the city, and he is still ably assisted in his business by his wife.
Henry F. Gibbs was six and a half years old when he came to California vyith his
parents, and his early education was obtained in the grammar schools of Los Angeles,
and a year in the Los Angeles high school, after which he took a commercial course at
the Santa Ana Business College under Prof. R. L. Bisby. In 1901 he married Miss
Viola M. Stewart, the only daughter of O. C. Stewart, a member of a family of early
settlers in what is now Orange County, and a sister of D. O. Stewart of Huntington
Beach. They have two children — Stewart and Beatrice Nettie.
Few farmers have succeeded better than Henry F. Gibbs in demonstrating the
qualities of the soil and environment of Huntington Beach for agriculture of a scientific
and aggressive sort; and besides the success thus attained, he and his family enjoy the

Mid Brain Activation - The Hoax Unmasked
By Mahesh Nayak
Mangaluru, July 1, 2015: Acquiring the ability to see beyond closed doors has been a much cherished dream of mankind. Ostensibly, one can imagine the spooks and gizmo geeks at CIA HQ burning the midnight oil endlessly trying to achieve this breakthrough – all in vain of course. And in the process, draining public money by the million too! Now relax, achche din have truly arrived. For as little Rs. 25,000/- an outfit called 'Spoorthi MBM Foundation' has come forward to transform your kid into a whizzkid and do the impossible – that is to actually see in spite of being blindfolded.
So have they finally cracked the secret of seeing what the human eye cannot? Quite so, if you go by the claims made in Spoorthi's publicity posters and advertisements. For the record, Spoorthi MBM Foundation is just small fry – a mere local franchisee - in a competitive market teeming with several players. They go by various aliases like Super Brain, Third Eye, Genius Mind Development, Abha International Academy and Ingenius. But all of them are into the same business. Spoorthi's own affiliates are MBM Midbrain Master Training Center, a Bangalore based firm. Go to their website, and you'll find elaborate descriptions of the scientific process by which it becomes possible for kids trained by them to perform the miraculous feat of seeing with a blindfold on. If its bad grammar doesn't put you off, then you will also learn that it offers an impressive menu of programmes like ESP Basic Level Course, ESP Photo graphic Memory, ESP Enhancement Program Advance Level and ESP Quantum Speed Reading. 'ESP', in case you did not know it, is an abbreviation for 'Extra Sensory Perception' – the ability to gather external information without the help of our five known senses.
According to their website, the brain is equally divided into 'Right' brain and 'Left' brain. The portion between these two halves is the 'Midbrain' or 'Interbrain'. It further states that the interbrain is awakened by stimulating a hormonal discharge. Following is a reproduction of its rationale for mid brain activation:
"In the human body, it is the pituitary gland that regulates the hormone secretions and this function has to be awakened. For this, it is necessary to activate the neighbouring pineal body. The pineal body secretes two hormones: melatonin and serotonin. The secretion of melatonin increases in the dark and decreases when it is bright.
Serotonin is said to be very closely related to the evolution of species and has the capacity to increase the intelligence of the right brain. Since the midbrain is responsible for communication with the left and right hemispheres of the brain, the process of "activating" the midbrain will result in better communication with the left and right hemispheres.
As individuals grow older, the brain has the tendency to automatically assign one hemisphere of the brain to become more dominant in performing certain tasks (a process known as lateralisation). This means we end up using much less of our brain than we actually could! The process of "activating" the midbrain reverses this trend and allows us to use our brain more efficiently, hence the improvement in cognitive abilities. Another interesting effect of midbrain activation that it allows children to sense the visual properties of objects without actually seeing them with their eyes (blindfolded)."
MBM's chosen means of 'activating' the midbrain is through eye ball exercise, 3D image games, meditation, games and dance activities, 'Brain Gym' exercises and so on. Liberal sprinkling of high sounding words like neural network, sensory, sensitizing, motor system and cognitive system gives it a knowledgeable and authoritative feel. The outfit also claims a Korean lineage and hails one Japanese Professor Makoto Shichida as a pioneer in this field.
But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. MBM's ultimate claim to fame is the live demo, whereby their protégés baffle you with their magical ability to accurately tell you the color of objects and perform other amazing feats while blindfolded. Proud parents beam on the fact that their child has acquired genius level mental prowess. Stuff like this never fails to get good press and the parents too will not miss an opportunity to brag and tell all about how smart their kid has lately become. All this only serves to push other parents to make a beeline for local midbrain activation centre. Thereby becoming unwitting accessories in a game of … fraud!
The starting point: Spoorthi MBM Foundation's publicity banners in Mangalore
The man who first smelled foul play and raised the alarm was Professor Narendra Nayak, President of Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations (FIRA). A lifelong skeptic, Professor Nayak is perhaps the country's best known myth buster and exposing miracles is his pet project. While not chasing ghosts and demons, he will be found busy unmasking evil god men, astrologers, charlatans and other phonies who are out to exploit the gullible public. He is famous for his grand offer of a cash prize of Rs. 5 lakh for any contender who can display supernatural powers of any kind under controlled conditions. The amount remains unclaimed to date. Even while on a quiet evening walk, his sharp eye will be always on the lookout for quacks, fakes, imposters and those making tall claims for commercial gain. It was on one such occasion that the retired biochemistry teacher noticed Spoorthi MBM Foundation's advertising poster soliciting kids for programmes with names like ESP Photographic Memory and ESP Quantum Speed Reading. To be precise what caught his eye was the infamous 'ESP' prefix attached to every course name.
Despite its high sounding feel, 'ESP" is a term that enjoys well deserved notoriety in the scientific world. First coined by Prof. J. B. Rhine of Duke's University, USA, it stands for 'Extra Sensory Perception' and it became a household phrase with the publication of his book of the same name in 1934. Prof. Rhine and his wife Louisa were very creative in coining new terms and also gave us 'parapsychology', which purports to be a branch of psychology dealing with supernatural psychic phenomena. Rhine devised elaborate card games using specially designed playing cards for conducting his experiments to study ESP. While his assertions were sensational, his legacy is rather dubious as independent investigations have consistently failed to repeat his findings or deliver satisfactory results.
Prof. Narendra Nayak demonstrating the futility of blindfold reading at a mass awareness meet
Hence alerted by the term 'ESP', Professor Nayak suspected a scam and renewed his offer: He threw a challenge to the local franchisees to prove their claims under foolproof conditions. Though the franchisee initially agreed, he later panicked and referred the matter to the franchise owners in Bangalore. In a spirited show of open door policy the franchise owners not only furnished their version of the scientific basis for blindfold reading, but also invited the professor to Bangalore for their trump card: the Demo! But Professor Nayak is no stranger to such disarming openness. After dealing with miracle mongers of all types for the better part of his life, he is well versed in their methods.
"My first brush with MBM was about an year ago when one of the members of the audience at an interaction for children had challenged to make me a pauper by making a child read the number of a sealed currency note," says Prof. Nayak, "That was in response to a challenge for those having supernatural powers — one of which is to read the serial number of a sealed currency note. MBM claims that children who have completed their course can see up to hundreds of kilometers. Though a year has elapsed numerous attempts on my part to achieve bankruptcy have come to a naught, as he has not obliged me so far! So when MBM set foot in Mangalore in September, 2014 I renewed my challenge to them."
Professor Nayak very well knew that though MBM projected itself to be open-minded and upfront about his challenge, they would in fact be evasive and he would encounter hurdles in various forms. Predictably the open challenge failed to reach its logical conclusion.
"They invited me for a live demo at Bengaluru and as I did not have the time I told them that two of my friends would attend," says Professor Nayak, "We sent two activists from Bangalore, Dolly Koshy and Atheeb, to visit their premises on the 1st of March. They were not allowed to investigate any of the children, they were prevented from questioning them, and were not allowed to take any photographs. The famous blindfolded reading technique was shown to them, and when Dolly performed the same, she was accused of peeking through the gap between the nose and eyes. When Dolly pointed out to them that it was the same thing that was being done by the children, she was attacked!"
Nayak is convinced that the entire idea of midbrain activation is hogwash. The claim to impart or develop supernatural powers is something that he has often come across in his myth busting career. In almost every case, some form of cunning, trickery or a pre-existing weakness in the target is used to achieve the desired spectacular effect. It could be something as simple as viewing through a gap in the blindfold or something more sophisticated as signaling by accomplices or taking cues from the sensory or human environment. "I made some queries with psychiatrists, child psychologists, educationists and people who train specially talented children," says Nayak, "Not even one of them has endorsed this concept."
Hence Narendra Nayak decided to launch a nationwide campaign to raise public awareness and combat the menace of this fraud. Then followed a series of public awareness meetings at various cities like Bangalore, Mysore, Calicut, Erode, Bhopal and Itarsi. The campaign continues in a big way and at each meeting Narendra Nayak gives a demonstration of how blindfolded reading is impossible under test conditions where the eyes are completed sealed from all sources of light and even the human and sensory environment is controlled by the investigator.
But what worries Nayak and his rationalist friends is not just that a mega level fraud is taking place, but rather, what it does to the little kids. "Little children are encouraged to cheat and lie in order to defend a falsehood," he rues. Now Nayak has doubled his reward. He has offered two prizes of Rs. 5 lakhs each and the prize money is maintained in separate bank accounts. Says Professor Narendra Nayak: "Since their banners all over the city promise that it is not a superstition, we would be glad to put their claims to the test of reason — in fact two of them — one on ESP brain window where contestants identify colours and letters without ordinary sensory input by using the left brain five senses. The second promises the same using the right brain input. So we are offering two prizes."
The brain is the most valued, yet the least understood organ of the human body. Considered to be the hub of man's biology, it operates in unseen and unknown ways – by means we are yet to fathom. This has made it into an object of mystery and countless myths. There is for example the common belief that the regular person uses only 5% of his or her brain and one can be a genius just by increasing this a few notches. There is also the concept of right brain / left brain divide – known as lateralization of brain function. As the brain exists in two distinct hemispheres, it is commonly believed that the right side and left side have specific functions and one side's dominance translates into certain discernible character attributes in the person. As pop psychology puts it, left side dominant persons are "logical" or right dominant ones "creative".
All this is just urban legend, mere speculation having no scientific basis. Human understanding of brain function is too meager to support any credible claim for measuring its utilization. In fact harbouring such a simplistic view would be to undermine the complexity of brain function. Science identifies brain parts as hindbrain (rhombencephalon), midbrain (mesencephalon), forebrain (prosencephalon), neural pathways, neuro endocrine systems, neuro vascular systems and dural meningeal system. The midbrain or mesencephalon is a portion of the central nervous system associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation. Not much is known about how the brain functions and how we can control and direct its functioning, though research continues in this sphere. It is precisely because of the ambiguity that exists in brain function, as also the premium that we place on 'brain' related aspects of our personality, that there is a looming space for carrying out this fraud.
Despite the terrific scientific advances of the last century, universal education and ready availability of scientific knowledge on the internet, human gullibility continues to be astounding. Greed, vanity and wishful thinking are often the root cause of man's eagerness to be fooled. Just when society begins to feel complacent in its achievements comes a superhero with a hoax big enough to put us in our place. There is nothing new to this. Just two decades back, an ordinary conman called Ramar Pillai singlehandedly pulled off India's greatest hoax. He managed to baffle an audience comprising top IIT professors with a live demonstration of his ability to produce petrol from water by adding a few magical herbs. He called this his 'secret formula' and sought investment support, while also projecting conspiracy theories and death threats from oil moguls whose lucrative business would be destroyed as a result of his invention. After seeing the demo with open eyes, the learned professors swore that the man was genuine and he had made a breakthrough discovery. Then one day he was caught adulterating his herbal concoction with real petrol and the CBI booked him for fraud. So merely being an IIT professor does not render you immune to cunning.
Says magician and mentalist Nakul Shenoy, who has aligned with Professor Narendra Nayak in the campaign against midbrain activation: "Sound knowledge and expertise in magic is necessary to examine most claims of the paranormal. Utilizing scientific and academic knowledge can only take you to a certain point; expertise in deception takes it to a different paradigm, as it helps weed out the use of trickery."
Indeed it is the most detestable form of cunning that midbrain activation specialists are employing – they are relying wholeheartedly on the child's tendency to lie. Through all this elaborate pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo, and the theatrics that accompany them, an environment is created where the child feels compelled to lie. The reasons could be varied: the urge to win the game, the pressure to live up to expectations, the keenness to please the parents and significant others, or even the peer pressure to duplicate the claims of other children could be the reasons why young children act as if they could see through the blindfold. "Teaching children to lie at a very young age is the real tragedy of this bogus scheme," says Prof. Narendra Nayak, "Even worse than that is that the parents are made to collaborate with the perpetrators of this fraud. Every parent has a desire for his or her child to be a genius. As a result they are often predisposed to not see the reality or to believe that something exists while it is not really there. This fundamental weakness in the parent's mental make-up works is being exploited by the fraudsters."
Blindfold activities are an age old gimmick and a popular trick among stage magicians. There is nothing great about it. But what is objectionable is the modus operandi of these operators. While stage magicians openly admit that it is a trick performed for providing entertainment, the midbrain activation people claim authenticity using pseudoscience. The scientific evidence they provide is only flimsy based on conjecture or a vague plausibility – something like how a Hollywood director might have you believe a ridiculous stunt based on a hairline possibility merely because you are desperate for the thrills. But then at least we can be thankful that the experience of movie watching is not as character destroying. What parents need to understand urgently is this: that kids are neither bird brains nor superbrains and all they need is a happy and trusting environment for good upbringing.

I mean things have taken a dystopic turn with the Indian franchisees but usually more Chinese cultures are happy to go to (more reliabile) franchisees with the understanding they are training the child and parent to turn out capable and learning young adults (and most of the work must be daily by the parents). A lot of the stuff (all of it) is good in those places but it is very very dependant on teacher quality. I hope these franchisees are driven out and an honest franchisee gets a chance.

Amphibia is the class of animals that is characterized by being cold-blooded; having a backbone (vertebrate); having an aquatic, gill-breathing, larval stage; and having a terrestrial, lung-breathing, adult stage.
According to AmphibiaWeb there are currently approximately 6,300 amphibian species worldwide, 90% of which are frogs. There are 292 species in the United States.
According to the Minnesota DNR there are 22 amphibian species currently found in Minnesota.
Green frog (Rana clamitans) is a mid-sized true frog, the second largest frog in Minnesota after only the American bullfrog. It is common throughout the eastern United States, less common in Minnesota where it is at the western edge of its range. It is an aquatic frog, found in large marshes, streams, deep ponds, larger lakes, and roadside ditches.
Green frogs are often seen on a shore within one quick leap to a body of water. They hunt by sitting still and waiting for prey to cross their path. The mating call can be heard from May through July. It is usually described as the sound of plucking a loose banjo string, "plunk". The call is a single note but is often repeated. No other frogs in Minnesota sound similar.
Green frog is distinguished by the large size; the prominent back ridges (dorsolateral folds); and the fourth toe on the hind foot, which is not webbed beyond the second joint.
Eastern tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) is the largest terrestrial salamander in Minnesota. Adults are usually 6¾″ to 8⅝″ in length but have been found as much as 13¾″ long. It is common throughout the state except in the arrowhead region, where it has not been recorded after 1960. It is found in prairies, woodlands, agricultural and residential areas – pretty much everywhere. It is a voracious feeder, eating any animal small enough to be captured and swallowed.
Like all salamanders, eastern tiger salamander is rarely encountered by humans. It is occasionally found in window wells and damp basements, and is sometimes seen above ground at night during and after a rainfall in the spring breeding season.
Northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) is a slim, medium-sized, widely recognized, true frog. It is widespread and very common, occurring in every county in the state. It is found in woodlands and grasslands, always within about a half mile of a waterway, water body, or wetland. Most adults are green on the back (dorsal surface) with 2 to 4 rows of rounded black spots. However, background color and spotting is variable and there are two distinct color morphs. Some adults have a greenish-brown or brown background. The Burnsi color morph is brown or green with no dorsal spots. The less common Kandiyohi color morph is brown with flecks of white, brown, or black between the spots. Juveniles may have few or no dorsal spots.
Boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) is one of the smallest frogs in Minnesota. It is found throughout Minnesota in shallow wetlands, shallow parts of lakes, temporary pools, and grasslands near wetlands—always near woodlands. With their short legs they are not very acrobatic and do not climb well. They are the first frogs to appear in spring, emerging in late March or early April when snow and ice may still be present. Males call from when they first emerge to late July. Their distinctive call sounds like a person running their thumb across the fine teeth of a pocket comb.

Shooting Plot Summerville High School: Deadly School Massacre Plot Derailed, 4 Students Arrested
By Heather Tooley
Oct. 5 2015, Updated 8:39 a.m. ET
A shooting plot at Summerville High School in Sonora, California, was derailed, thanks to vigilant students and staff who alerted authorities last Wednesday.
The Modesto Bee reports that the shooting plot for Summerville High School was thwarted after students reported their suspicions. Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele said he was presented with the case after school staff alerted him to the potential massacre. Three students were acting erratically, and their behavior drew attention, which ultimately got them arrested. A fourth suspect was discovered in the middle of the investigation.
Authorities found paperwork that the suspected students had, which indicated their intended targets. Investigators found "evidence verifying a plot to shoot staff and students at Summerville High School."
The students who were arrested made confessions to law enforcement about details in their shooting plot for Summerville High School, which was to target specific teachers and students at specific times. They also wanted to kill as many people as possible on campus, Mele said.
"They were going to come on campus and shoot and kill as many people as possible on the campus. It is particularly unsettling when our most precious assets —which are our students, their teachers — are targets for violence."
All four students — who aren't being identified since they're juveniles — were charged on Friday with conspiracy to commit an assault with deadly weapons. They were arrested on Friday afternoon and taken into custody at the Tuolumne County Probation Department.
