Terry Butcher today revealed he wouldn't rule out turning the loan deals which have brought Danny Haynes, Duncan Watmore and Daniel Boateng to Hibs into permanent moves in the summer.
The Easter Road boss snapped up the trio, from Notts County, Sunderland and Arsenal respectively, on the final day of the transfer window until the end of the season and although he knows some will question the wisdom of such short-term deals, he insisted he wouldn't have it any other way.
Nevertheless, Butcher was delighted with the signings made, firmly believing frontman Haynes, winger Watmore and defender Boateng will have a big part to play in the remainder of Hibs season as the Capital club push for a top six finish for the first time in four seasons.
Although Hibs don't have a game this weekend, their visit to Inverness cancelled as Caley take on Hearts at Easter Road tomorrow in the second semi-final of the League Cup, Butcher reckons all three will be ready to face Raith Rovers in next weekend's home Scottish Cup tie.
Haynes and Watmore have already trained with their new team-mates, while 21-year-old Boateng will join them at the start of next week. Butcher said: "What we have seen from Danny and Duncan so far has been very good, very sharp and with good pace as well. Daniel is a big, strong, physical specimen, who is comfortable on the ball and can play right back, in central defence or that holding role in midfield.
"He played against Chelsea Under-21s the other night and won so he is up to speed in terms of games. We've strengthened in three different areas with experience, youth, pace and strength which gives us good alternatives and, I feel, more of a threat than we had before, which is good.
"I'm very comfortable with the fact they are on loan. I don't have any problem with their commitment and everything else. They are hungry boys and desperate to do well and we can easy turn these loans into permanent deals in the summer.
"I didn't want to get permanent deals at the moment if I could help it because I'm looking to do major work in the summer when there's a lot more quality and a lot more players available, but these players are certainly going to add to the squad and with the other boys will take us through to the summer, when we'll see what happens then about their moves turning into permanent deals.
Meanwhile, defender Tim Clancy and forward Rowan Vine have left Hibs by mutual consent, with Derry City keen to sign Clancy.

Kankakee Valley REMC - November 2022 Indiana Connection
SLICES timeOF Co-op calendar serves up 25 years of student art NOVEMBER 2022 Kankakee Valley REMC's High school students selected for Junior Board.
Here's the thing about being a writer in a deadline-oriented job: Sometimes your deadlines and your brain don't see eye to eye. Words don't always travel from the cortex to the fingertips and finally to the computer screen as quickly as I'd like. (Hello, writer's block!)
Sometimes I waste precious time staring out the window waiting for inspiration to hit. Then, confident that I've discovered my "a-ha" moment, start expounding on a train of thought that ultimately leads nowhere. Too often, I don't realize my ideas are hitting a dead end until I read over my carefully wordsmithed paragraphs with fresh eyes the next day and end up nixing all of them. Thank goodness for the clarity new days bring!
But when words do flow freely, there's nothing like a well-turned phrase and a point that can be made succinctly and cleverly thanks to an ample vocabulary and a mind that is usually editing what I write before I press the keys. I enjoy the writing process immensely when that happens.
I am sometimes asked where I find ideas to write about. The answer: Anywhere and everywhere. Sometimes I read articles that enlighten or amuse me, and I can't help but comment on the content. I might have some thoughts about an event occurring that month or things happening in my life that you might relate to. Often, I wonder if I should amp up the adventure in my life to give me more fodder for my columns. That thought is actually kind of funny: shouldn't living life more fully be enough of a goal itself? Why am I more concerned about writing about it?
That's easy to answer. I'll do whatever it takes to create topics to avoid writer's block. Well, anything within reason!

Where does your energy dollar go?
FROM THE CEO: When you go grocery shopping, it's easy to see where every dollar goes. Some money pays for
fresh produce, some goes to dairy products. It's easy to know what your grocery budget covers because everything is right there in your cart.
It's not quite as simple to see where your energy dollars go. First, it's important to know your electricity is supplied by a not-forprofit membership cooperative, rather than a for-profit utility. While for-profit utilities try to make money for stockholders and Wall Street, our job as your electric power co-op is to deliver reliable service while keeping your bills as low as possible.
If you think of your monthly electric bill as a shopping cart, it contains a variety of items that make up what you pay. About a third of your "cart" covers what it costs Kankakee Valley REMC to provide electricity to your home or business. That portion covers everything from maintaining power lines, employing our office staff and line crews, and using this magazine to inform and educate you.
The remaining two-thirds is the cost to buy that electricity. We don't operate power plants, so our power provider, Wabash Valley Power Alliance, uses its buying power to negotiate with the wholesale market for the most reliable power at the lowest cost.
"While for-profit utilities try to make money for stockholders and Wall Street, our job as your electric power co-op is to deliver reliable service while keeping your bills as low as possible."
In other words, two-thirds of your energy bill is based on market prices for electricity.
The power market is affected by national and global economic factors like inflation and weather trends. While we can't control what happens in global energy markets, our leadership works hard to keep our operating costs as low as possible. After all, our mission has always been to help you make the most of every dollar you spend on energy.
I encourage you to turn to the next page to see all the areas that your dollar supports each month.

Data gathered will help plan for the future
During this month and next, Kankakee Valley REMC will be conducting a survey of residential co-op member-consumers. The survey, formerly done via telephone, will now be done by email. This survey is conducted every three years, and helps our power supplier, Wabash Valley Power Alliance, determine how much power will be needed in the near future.
If you are contacted to participate and don't wish to, you will not be pressured to do so. The email you receive asking for your participation will come from info@kvremc.com. We greatly appreciate those who do take the time to help us plan better for the future. If you have any questions about the survey or the process, please call the Kankakee Valley REMC office at 800-552-2622

High School Students Selected for Junior Board Program
Kankakee Valley REMC has a longstanding commitment to strengthening the communities its member-consumers call home. Since we are focused on the future, preparing our students to become the next generation of community leaders is one of our priorities. We do that through a variety of activities and scholarships.
Through the new Junior Board of Directors program, we are providing an opportunity
for high school juniors to network with other young leaders as well as business professionals. Over the next nine months, students will participate in fun activities that will strengthen leadership skills and career development while they interact with the cooperative, local businesses, community leaders and non-profits. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be awarded a scholarship.
Congratulations to the following students who were selected to this distinguished program.

If you are currently a Kankakee Valley REMC member-consumer and were also one during 2004-05 and/or 2021, you can expect to see a credit on your bill generated in December. This credit is from our power supplier, Wabash Valley Power Alliance.
WVPA is a non-profit cooperative, just like KV REMC. Any margins it
earns over and above its expenses, maintenance or capital improvement are returned to its memberconsumers. KV REMC is a memberconsumer of WVPA. This return is referred to as capital credits.
Your KV REMC board of directors has decided to pass these capital credits on to the member-consumers who
received power from KV REMC during the retirement years. The capital credit you receive is based on how much electricity you used during those years.
Capital credits allow memberconsumers to benefit directly from the commitment of our power supplier to prudent fiscal management.
You may see a credit on your bill

KNOW WHAT'S IN STORAGE:
What to consider when adding a battery system to your home
From solar power systems to electric vehicles, you may have noticed an increase in how often batteries and electric storage are discussed. Some homeowners may consider adding battery systems as a home backup power source.
Adding a home battery system is a major investment: possibly more than $10,000, and even higher if you install a large system. Before you sign a battery system purchase contract, there are a few things you should consider.
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE BATTERY TO DO?
This is the first question your electric co-op's energy advisor will ask. If you are concerned that your home is losing power frequently, co-op employees can research the issue and come up with potential fixes, which may save you from spending any money.
If you plan to charge the battery at night and then use it during peak demand or sell it back to your co-op,
the math may not yet add up. Timeof-use rates offered by some co-ops can help make the batteries more affordable. Yet the large upfront cost of most battery systems can lead to longer paybacks (and there is no guarantee they will break even). Understanding your needs will help your contractor find the battery system best suited for you.
WILL IT POWER WHAT YOU EXPECT IT WILL?
It's important to consider not only the battery system's storage capacity, but also its discharge rate (how much power in terms of watts the battery discharges into your home). Storage capacity is not the discharge rate! You need to understand prior to purchase what your battery system will do and not be surprised after it is installed. Your co-op's energy advisor can provide insight on the energy needed to power certain appliances and systems.
HOW MANY BIDS HAVE YOU RECEIVED?
Once you know the battery system you want, seek multiple bids from different contractors. It's important to understand what each contractor is offering. Question each salesman's assumptions. Does he or she know your cost of electricity? Will a contractor provide a walkthrough on set up or support after installation? A good contractor should be willing to answer questions even after service is completed.
By knowing the right questions and considerations, you can be sure that the battery system you purchase will meet your needs. Your electric co-op's energy advisor is always available to answer questions about energy storage and your home's energy use. Be sure to contact your co-op before you sign a contract to make sure that the dollars make sense!

Daviess County County Facts
Daviess County might be named for a Kentuckian, but it's embraced, produced, perpetuated, and exported one of Indiana's greatest crops: basketball — including bushel baskets of ballplayers.
Washington High School ranks third in the list of most Indiana High School boys basketball state championships. It has seven, one behind Marion and Muncie Central, who are tied with eight.
Washington's first three came in 1930, 1941 and 1942, long before the advent of the IHSAA class tourney. The last four came as 3A champs, led by the legendary Zeller boys: Luke, Tyler, and Cody.
None of the Zellers were born in Daviess County (they moved to Washington in 1993 when the oldest, Luke, was 6), but they soon owned its hardwood and brought back the hardware. From 2001 to 2011, they led Washington High School to four state championships — 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2011. Luke's one championship in 2005 came with his legendary lastsecond, midcourt, game-winning shot in overtime.
All three brothers were named Indiana Mr. Basketball their senior year and a McDonald's All-American. Luke graduated from Washington in 2005; Tyler graduated in 2008; and Cody in 2011. After high school, all three received scholarships at storied college basketball programs — Notre Dame, North Carolina, and Indiana, respectively. All three played, at least briefly, in the NBA.
But before the Zeller trio came, there was Robert David "Big Dave" DeJernett. Born appropriately on George Washington's birthday in 1912 in Kentucky, the future Washington
Hatchet star came to Daviess County soon after. A member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, DeJernett is remembered for integrating the Washington Hatchets and leading them to their first Indiana state title as a junior in the 1929–30 season. The Hatchets were the first integrated high school basketball state champions in U.S. history.
As a 6-foot-3, 230-pound sophomore, DeJernett was put on the varsity squad in 1928 and was named to the All-State team after the Hatchets lost in the 1929 state finals.
In the 1930 championship game, DeJernett led Washington over the Muncie Central Bearcats 32–21. Muncie was also led by a Black player, Jack Mann, who stood 6-foot-6 but could not outjump DeJernett which contributed largely to the victory. The Hatchets finished with a 31-1 record that year.
As a senior, DeJernett's Hatchets were favored to win a second state crown in the spring of 1931. Prior to an important regional match up, DeJernett received a threatening letter from the Ku Klux Klan that hinted if he played he'd meet the same fate as the two young Black men who had been lynched in Marion, Indiana, the previous summer. DeJernett not only played, he scored 14 points to lead Washington's 22–19 victory. In the quarter finals of the state tourney, however, Muncie Central avenged their previous year's loss to Washington, eliminating Washington 21-19 on the way to their second state championship.
Two weeks later, Notre Dame's legendary football coach Knute
Rockne was a featured speaker at a banquet of unity honoring both the Hatchets and the Washington Catholic Cardinals, winners of the 1931 Catholic Boys' State Championship. Afterward, Rockne shook hands with members of each team. DeJernett thought Rockne might not want to shake hands with a Black man and passed by him. Rockne grabbed DeJernett by the hand and shook it. Two days later, Rockne died in a plane crash in Kansas.
In his three years on the team, DeJernett led Washington to a 75-17 record and was named All-State three times. He also became the state's first dominant Black collegiate player. From 1931 to 1935 DeJernett played for the integrated Indiana Central College team, now known as the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds. The 1934 Greyhounds went 16–1 and posted the state's top collegiate record. As a pro, DeJernett played for barnstorming teams, including the Harlem Globetrotters.

JUST WHAT IS 25 YEARS?
It's 300 months. It's the "Silver Anniversary." It's a quarter of a century, and, for the average American, it's a third of a lifetime. Come January, it's also the amount of time editions of the Cooperative Calendar of Student Art have been adorning walls of electric consumers all over Indiana.
The 2023 calendar — the 25th edition — is now printed and available at participating electric co-ops. (Please see page 11 for distribution details.)
The calendar is illustrated with the artwork of Indiana students in grades kindergarten through high school senior. These are the winning works from the art contest Indiana's electric cooperatives held last spring.
The first contest was held in the fall of 1998. Those winning works illustrated the 1999 Cooperative Calendar. For all but one edition since, the calendar has followed a simple formula. Since there are 12 grades in school and 12 months in a year, first graders are asked to illustrate January; second graders are assigned February; and so on through 12th graders who are assigned December.
Like all calendars, the student art calendar represents a transition of time through a single year. But
Co-op calendar serves up 25 years of student art
through the imagination and talent of the students themselves, each turn of the calendar page depicts their transition from childhood to junior high to adulthood. Kindergartners were given the cover to illustrate to welcome each year and open the contest up to all 13 grades.
"We're proud to have encouraged tens of thousands of young artists to craft such beautiful masterpieces throughout these last 25 years of the calendar art project," said Emily Schilling, editor of Indiana Connection. "And, by having their artwork reproduced in a wall calendar, we've been able to share their talents with so many Hoosiers around the state."
Schilling and Senior Editor Richard Biever came up with the art contest/ calendar concept early in 1998 to celebrate student artists. In addition, the calendar became a much-anticipated holiday gift and informational piece consumers received from participating REMCs/ RECs. Indiana Connection staff has been coordinating the project for participating co-ops ever since.
"The calendar is a great way to bring art into homes, and inspire other kids to pick up crayons, pencils and paint brushes and create magic," Schilling added.

of Student Art contest was selected the "Best of Show."
Andrew Zink is a student illustrator successfully touching subject matter about as allencompassing as the initials of his first and last name.
Landscape? His work as an eighth grader of a backyard bonfire beside a lake on a starry night graced the August page of the 2020 Cooperative Calendar of Student Art.
Figures? His illustration as a 10th grader of a young boy carving a pumpkin illustrated the October page of the 2022 Cooperative Calendar.
Still life? His apple pie on a plate will grace the November page of the 2023 Cooperative Calendar. And the work, which won the 11th grade division in last spring's Cooperative Calendar
"Since it was for November," says Andrew, "our family does this thing with apple pies. It's just the smell that always reminds me of November. It's a tradition that stemmed from my mom and dad."
More than tradition, it's how his dad won his mom over.
"Before we started dating," explains his mom, Kristy, "my husband called me up kind of out of the blue. We didn't really know each other, we just had mutual friends, and I was sicker than a dog with a cold.
The next day, he dropped off a homemade apple pie he made himself with his grandma's recipe.
"So, he makes apple pies every Thanksgiving. We go up and pick apples in Michigan a lot. Most of the fall is apple pies, 'apple this' and 'apple that.'"
For the artwork, Andrew assembled the objects for the still life … gathered apples and peeled one, cinnamon sticks, canister of flour, plate. But for the scrumptious-looking slice of pie, Andrew admits it's not his own or even his dad's. Having created the artwork late last winter for the mid-March deadline, he opted for a frozen apple pie from ALDI that he baked. He then composed and shot as a reference photo of it all

it, too BEST OF SHOW WINNER CREATES STILL LIFE FOR CONTEST AND COLLEGE PORTFOLIO
to create the illustration. He rendered the work primarily in colored pencil. Though obviously the pie couldn't have tasted like his dad's, he says it was still pretty good. One of the benefits of photographing the pie was it was still edible when he was done. The work not only earned him $200 for his third first-place win in the contest, but $100 extra for being Best of Show.
In addition, the work will become the still life he was still needing as part of the portfolio he plans to submit for his college entrance.
"Since I didn't have a still life, I thought this would be a good subject," he says.
Andrew turns 18 later this month. The homeeducated Winona Lake senior plans to attend
Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he wants to study gaming animation. Lipscomb is a private Christian liberal arts college with a nationally recognized animation program.
He had attended public and private Christian schools up through his sophomore year, the last being Lakeland Christian Academy in Winona Lake. He and his parents decided to homeschool his junior and senior years to have the time to concentrate on building a portfolio in hopes of being accepted into Lipscomb's art program.
He plans to focus on the gaming side, not the film side, of computer animation.
"I really like designing characters and armor and sci-fi sort of stuff."
Andrew says he started thinking seriously about art as a career in eighth grade, the year he first won his grade division in the Cooperative Calendar of Student Art contest. He credits his art teacher, Jorie Bail, at Lakeland for encouraging him to pursue his artistic talents.
His mom says the artsy roots for both Andrew and his sister started when they were young. His sister, Emmaline, three years his senior, is already studying art at Lipscomb. She won an honorable mention in 2021's calendar art contest as a high school senior.
"They've been drawing since I could throw the crayons down on the floor and say, 'Stay busy, I've got something to do,'" she says. "They have just been surrounded by it their entire life."
Andrew draws from both his parents for his artistic inspiration, and not just subject matter. His mom's a freehand artist and graphic designer who loves illustrating people while his dad is a mechanical engineer who works with computer design in the high-tech
world of orthopedic medical devices of which Warsaw is the center.
His mom credits Legos Andrew loved when he was younger to help him see in three-dimensions and translate perspective to paper. An offshoot of Legos in the early 2000s, Bionicles, gave him his first tastes of the science-fiction fantasy and computer animation he now loves. His love of computer gaming furthered that interest.
"He can do very technical drawings," she says. "So, he gets that technical part and being able to see in three dimensions from his dad."
Andrew enjoys entering the Cooperative Calendar Art Contest, he says, because it's statewide.
"It's such a bigger thing than just a local contest. I get to display my art to the entire state." Plus, he notes he can't lie: the big cash prize is a nice incentive, too.
"I always strive to make something different, or just be creative," he says. "I've been always wanting to create stuff that's nonexistent. I like to create."
"It's a God-given talent to create," says his mom, "so use it, use it."

PAST WINNERS PURSUE passion
Rachel Linnemeier
Rachel Linnemeier (then Rachel Crisp) won her grade division as a junior in the 2007 calendar and a senior in 2008's. Her work as a junior was also named 2007's "Best of Show."
After high school, the Adams Central High School graduate earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from Indiana University's Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis. She soon began carving out a niche in Indy's art circles with a series of paintings that created visual plays on words.
She has since moved to Tucson, Arizona, and is still painting. She has had works accepted into exhibitions in many locations including Barcelona and Dublin. From January to March 2023, a selfportrait of hers will be included in an exhibition at the 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago.
During the COVID shutdown of many in-person gallery events, she began writing and illustrating a children's book focused on desert animal facts. She hopes to self-publish it within the next year or two.
Athena Silot
Readers might remember the portrait of baseball legend Hank Aaron in an Indianapolis Clowns Negro Leagues uniform on the cover of the April 2022 issue.
That was painted by Athena Silot, another past winning student artist. Athena was four-time grade division winner, 8th through 11th, appearing in 2013-16 calendars. After graduating from Avon High School, Athena earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio art from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois.
She has begun setting up an art studio in a new home outside Peoria, Illinois, where she plans to pursue commissioned and freelance work, and continue painting for exhibitions and for fun.

Ask Rosie
Q:Does the length of the sweet potato vine affect the yield? I have some 6 feet long. Should these be cut back to about 3 feet?
— Allan McKinley, Borden
A:Cutting back sweet potato vines is not generally recommended. Healthy vigorous vines generally should improve yield. Although overabundance of nitrogen can promote foliage growth at the expense of root formation, this should not be a problem if you have appropriate balanced nutrient availability in the soil.
More information on growing and harvesting sweet potatoes can be found at purdue.edu/hla/sites/yardandgarden/ time-to-harvest-sweet-potatoes/

Q:Help! We really like rhubarb, however, mine has not fared well the last couple years. It is not producing much, and the stalks are thin and spindly. It is in a raised bed and has a soaker hose. I always use the leaves from cuttings as mulch. It is 22 years old and has always been good until recently. Do I fertilize or what? It has full sun.
— Gen Dornbush, Avilla
A:Sounds like your rhubarb could benefit from dividing to rejuvenate the planting. You can dig and lift the plants in early spring before the new growth starts. Divide the crowns so that each section has three-four buds. Reset the divisions so that the buds are only about 2 inches deep.

CAMPING WATT?
Power the avid campers in your life with energy-efficient gifts this holiday season.
The falling autumn leaves will soon give way to falling snowflakes and carolers singing our way into the holiday season. While it may seem like an odd time to plan outdoor getaways, it's the right
SOLAR PANEL AND BATTERY KIT:
A great idea that offers versatility! A variety of portable batteries are available to enable campers to charge devices such as cell phones, laptops and other small electronics. Companies such as Jackery offer portable batteries and solar panels that can be combined so the battery can be charged when not in use. Batteries and solar panels with larger capacity carry a larger price tag. Yet if you're shopping for an avid outdoor enthusiast, the larger storage capacity (which allows for use of more devices) may be a worthwhile investment.
time for gifts that will help avid campers get ahead! Technology has led to some unique possibilities offering comfort (and electricity) in far-flung locations for those on your gift list this year.
SOLAR LANTERN OR RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHT:
The evolution of solar power means that a variety of devices can be charged. Energy-efficient lanterns and flashlights incorporate LEDs, which are more energy efficient and emit brighter light than older generation flashlights. Solar lanterns are rechargeable when exposed to sunlight. Other kinds of rechargeable flashlights can be plugged into a wall outlet or portable battery and recharge to provide invaluable illumination on dark nights.
INDUCTION COOKTOP:
This device provides a unique alternative to campfire cooking. A portable induction stovetop can be taken to a campsite as an energy-efficient way to heat food in a pan. It will need an electrical power source (maybe a larger battery such as a Jackery system), to ensure that the watt requirements of the induction cooktop can be met by the portable battery. Yet for someone who wants to pack different kinds of food to a campsite, an induction cooktop may be the way to go.
New portable electronic devices and appliances are regularly hitting the market, offering new possibilities for campers to enjoy. Learn more about new electronics that can leave your gift recipients beaming this holiday season.
Valley Power news
Ionce asked an audience what group was responsible for the initial reintroduction of the Eastern Wild Turkey to Indiana. The answers ranged from the "National Wild Turkey Federation" to the "U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service" to the "Audubon Society" and even "The Boy Scouts." No one came up with the right answer — the United States Navy. The Navy? Yes, the United States Navy!
Around 1956, the new commander of the Crane Naval Ammunition Depot (now Naval Support Activity Crane) in Martin County was disappointed to learn the military base's rich habitat didn't include wild turkeys.
Wild turkeys had disappeared from Indiana by the early 1900s because of lost habitat and uncontrolled hunting. The commander enjoyed hunting wild turkey in southern parts of the United States and greatly missed the sport.
As all who served know, the military is capable of many things. And the higher the rank, the greater the possibilities!
Shumaker Naval Depot in Arkansas was contacted and given a "top secret" assignment. Shortly thereafter, the commander of Crane and a handpicked support team met one of the super cargo carrier aircraft on the aircraft runway to unload two mysterious tarp covered boxes.
The two boxes were cages containing five wild turkeys — four hens and a tom. The birds were quickly ushered off to a secluded location on the base and released.
Chances of survival for the tiny flock were slim. If anything happened to the lone male bird, it was over. But by the grace of God, good habitat, control from poaching, and isolation from tame turkeys, the flock rapidly expanded. By the winter of 1960-61, there were an estimated 100 to 200 wild turkeys on the Indiana Naval base.
Beginning in the winter of 1960, attempts to trap enough turkeys on the base and begin spreading them to other parts of the state, namely Brown County State Park, were proving ineffective. At the time, Indiana had an unbelievable population of ruffed grouse, and the biologists' ability to capture grouse was far better than their turkey attempts.
In 1964, Indiana struck a deal with Missouri. Indiana traded 70 ruffed grouse for 21 Missouri turkeys. The turkeys were released in the Tell City district of the Hoosier National Forest. The following year, 15 turkeys were swapped for 60 grouse and released in the HarrisonCrawford State Forest.
Within a few years, turkeys trapped in Perry and Harrison counties were being released in Martin County and
the Pike and Jackson-Washington state forests.
History was made in 1970 when 60 hunters from 1,500 applicants participated in the first modern-day Indiana sanctioned wild turkey hunt. Over the four-day hunt, most of the hunters heard or saw wild turkeys, while six got their gobblers.
The estimated number of hunters afield this past spring was 65,254 who spent $32 per license. There was an estimated success rate of 19%. The statewide flock is now estimated to be about 120,000 birds.
Not a bad return on a "Special Ops Assignment" by the U.S. Navy and some savvy bartering with kin states to the south and west!

safety HOLIDAY FOOD PREP Ingredients for safety
Keep your family safe during these joyful times by learning some basic holiday food preparation safety tips before you start cooking.
During the holidays, family and friends gather to celebrate. Usually, food is involved. But not all feasts turn out festive. The United States Fire Administration estimates more than 2,000 residential fires are reported each Thanksgiving, with cooking the leading cause.
"The holidays are supposed to be a wonderful time for families to be together in celebration," said Jon Elkins, vice president of safety, training and compliance at Indiana Electric Cooperatives. "We just want them to take precautions and be safe."
Protect your home and family from fire hazards by installing smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Test the batteries in each smoke alarm every month and replace them once a year. Creating an escape plan for the whole family will ensure that no matter the circumstances, everyone knows how to exit safely.
Unattended cooking equipment is the leading cause of home cooking fires; always be sure someone takes over the preparation when needed. Before cooking, clean the stovetop and oven to wipe away any grease or dust to prevent a fire.
While cooking, it's easy to forget about something in the oven, especially when you're entertaining guests. Use a kitchen timer to make sure your dish doesn't burn to a crisp, creating a fire hazard. When cooking on the stove, protect you and any reaching hands from spills or burns by using the back burners. If children are in the room, keep a close eye on them, or guide them out of the kitchen. If cooking over a hot stove, wear short or closefitting sleeves to avoid a fire. Always locate appliances away from the sink to avoid any electrical dangers. Plug countertop appliances into Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)-protected outlets and keep cords away from hot surfaces like toasters. When finished with these appliances, always unplug them to save energy and avoid electrical hazards.
Before your family can sit down and enjoy the meal you just prepared, be sure all appliances have been turned off. Then you can all enjoy each other's company during the holiday season with peace of mind knowing everyone is safe.
Checklist for kitchen safety
Are any appliances plugged into extension cords on a permanent basis?
If the answer is "yes," have a licensed electrician install new outlets where needed or move equipment closer to an outlet. Extension cords are for temporary use and can become a fire hazard.
Are all appliance cords placed so they will not come in contact with hot surfaces?
If you answered "no," move cords away from all heat sources to avoid them melting or burning from the excess heat.
Is any cord cracked, frayed or otherwise damaged?
If you answered "yes," do not used damaged cords, especially if there are exposed wires. Have a licensed electrician replace the cord or replace the equipment.

Stay of execution granted for man convicted in '99 Pleasant Grove murder
Article By Jennifer Emily
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday granted a stay of execution for a man who was to die today and ordered a lower court to determine whether he deserves a new trial and whether he is mentally retarded.
Defense attorneys had argued that Roderick Newton, who was found guilty of kidnapping and murdering 20-year-old Jesus Montoya in a Pleasant Grove ATM robbery in 1999, did not get a fair trial because police failed to hand over evidence that would have questioned the credibility of a co-defendant who testified against him.
The Dallas County district attorney's office supported Newton's attorney's efforts to halt the execution after agreeing that Mesquite police withheld a written statement that contradicted the co-defendant's testimony.
District Attorney Craig Watkins said he believes Newton is guilty and he will prosecute him again if a new trial is granted.
"We've always thought he was guilty. We'll pursue the same punishment," Watkins said. But he added, "The process was less than perfect. … We have the responsibility to call a spade a spade."
First statement
David Finn, one of Newton's attorneys, and prosecutor Mike Ware, who oversees the county's conviction integrity unit, say they believe police never gave defense attorneys or prosecutors copies of co-defendant Julian Williams' first statement to police.
In that statement, Williams denied any knowledge of the crime, according to a copy of the handwritten statement. He also said he would not lie.
Williams later made two substantially different statements and took the stand to testify that Newton shot Montoya as the man begged for his life.
Williams pleaded guilty after he testified and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Finn also said Mesquite Police Officer Michael Meek testified at trial that he took two statements from Williams – not three.
"It was not an oversight" that the first statement was never presented to the defense, he said. "It was not an accident. It was not a mistake. The detective should thank his lucky stars that the statute of limitations is only three years for aggravated perjury."
Greg Davis, lead prosecutor during the original trial and now the No. 2 prosecutor in Collin County, said Wednesday that "nothing was withheld from the defense."
He said that the defense attorneys reviewed the police file at the Police Department before the trial. He added that he was not present at that meeting.
"It was a premeditated and vicious killing, and Newton has never expressed one word of remorse for his actions," Davis said.
"Besides the co-defendant's testimony, we had [a] witness who identified Newton as the man who pawned Montoya's crucifix necklace after the murder, Newton's prints on Montoya's vehicle, Newton's attempt to escape at the time of his arrest and a confession to a cellmate that the defense called to the stand. The evidence of guilt was overwhelming against Newton."
Finn said trial attorneys viewed only physical evidence at that meeting.
A Mesquite police spokesman, Lt. Bill Hedgpeth, on Wednesday declined to discuss the case and referred questions to prosecutors. He said that he has not spoken to Meek.
"My understanding is we made everything available to defense attorneys," he added.
DA's office
Finn credited the DA's office for its help in securing the stay. Although Finn discovered the statement might exist, prosecutors found the document at the Mesquite Police Department.
"They could have just looked the other way," Finn said. "And they didn't. That speaks volumes about their integrity."
Withholding information that could benefit a defendant is commonly called a "Brady violation."
Agreeing to a stay of execution is an unusual move for a prosecutor, although Watkins has agreed to one before.
In September 2007, Watkins agreed to a stay of execution for Joseph Roland Lave Jr. because a second polygraph examination of a co-defendant was not given to the defense at trial. Lave is on death row, and prosecutors say they believe he is guilty.
Retardation issue
The DA's office did not agree to Newton's stay on the issue of mental retardation.
But in 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the mentally retarded cannot be executed. They can be tried for capital crimes and sentenced to life in prison if they understand the charges they face and can contribute to their defense.
Neither the Supreme Court, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals nor the state Legislature has laid out a definitive method to determine if defendants are mentally retarded. But in several cases, defendants with IQs below 70 have been spared the death penalty.
Newton's IQ is 61, according to court records.
No date has been set for proceedings by the original trial court to hold hearings about the Brady violation and whether Newton is mentally retarded. After that hearing, the appeals court would make a decision based on the lower court's recommendation.


A clean, crisp, dry white wine often referred to as the Riesling of Spain.
On the nose, we've captured the intense aromas of passion fruit, ripe citrus, honey and peaches. In the mouth it is well balanced with a fresh acidity that makes Albariño such a versatile food wine.
Try this wine chilled with fresh, grilled fish or other seafood dishes, especially shellfish. The perfect complement with spicy Asian and Indian food. Or, savor it by the glass with olives and mild cheese such as Manchego, goat or triple cream Brie.
Albariño is one of the top growing varietals of Spain, but there are only a few acres grown of it in California. The Clarksburg appellation is ideal for producing it, mainly due to its climate and soils, both of which are similar to Galicia, the Albariño growing region of Spain. Our vineyards enjoy hot, summer days from the Sacramento Valley, which allow the intense aroma of the Albariño to develop. But they are also exposed to the cool maritime breezes from the bay and the evenings giving the grapes a vibrant acidity, which is what Albariño is so well known for.
Grapes were hand picked in the morning and gently pressed. Juice was cold settled and fermented cold in stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged on light lees and kept cold for five months. The wine was then finished for bottling, never seeing any oak or malo-lactic.

Gerard Depardieu and Elisabeth Guignot
Gerard Depardieu and Elisabeth Guignot, 09 Oct 1980, New York
Considered a model family, their marriage lasted for 25 years, from 1971 to 1996. Gerard – handsome, tall guy, quite a sight to lose head. Elizabeth was from another world entirely, absolutely not similar to his own. She was a lady with good manners formed an intellectual. Next to her, he looked village bumpkin. "Before her, I had no idea what it means to be in love – wrote in his book, Gerard. – I did not realize that it is possible to worship a woman with whom you sleep. With it, I ceased to be a closed country boy. We could not get along without each other … "
Considered a model family, Gerard Depardieu and Elisabeth Guignot
Elizabeth Lucy Guinot Dominic was born in a well-off Parisian family of intellectuals, on August 5, 1941.
Depardieu and dog
At 12, he ran away from home, and his main teacher was the street (though his mother tried to reason with his son, but not really tried, hiding all emotions and resentments inside). He bullies from idleness, steal cars, rob stores – involvement in the gang gave him a sense of inner freedom, which is then very useful to him on stage and in film.
Because of the lack of attention (which, however, have been deprived of all his brothers and sisters) Gerard grew up introverted, shy boy-long stutterer and communicated mainly with gestures and very short sentences. At school, at first, things went more than good. But after the arrival of the American soldiers, the majority of the city's children were to disappear for days at a U.S. base, communicating with the officers, watching movies, discovering a new culture. Gradually, interest in school waned completely, and Gerard just dropped it, satisfied with evidence of incomplete primary education.
After another fight, he decided to do some changes in his life and fled to the south of Canada. He hitchhiked in the warmer months working on the beach and watched the actors, who had come for the traditional festival in May.
One day, Gerard met a friend who asked him to "take a walk" to Paris and "do theater." Nothing better to do, he agreed and even once dared to go to the theater courses with a friend. There's something in him, said eccentric teacher and invited him to participate in the improvisation.
Probably the first time in the life of Gerard was praised, supported and noted for his talent. After that, he just could not imagine his life without a scene and entered the drama school where he met her …
And yet, the feeling was mutual. They were both involved in the comedy "Tartuffe." He was amazed and asked her to marry. No one imagined that an intellectual lady quickly agreed …
They were married on August 19, 1971, and for a long time were a symbol of exemplary family: loving parents and two wonderful kids – Guillaume and Elena.
Elisabeth appeared in two movies with then-husband Gérard Depardieu: Jean de Florette (1986), in which they played husband and wife, and Le Tartuffe (1984). She participated at the 19th Brest European Short Film Festival in 2004 as a member of the jury.
After his marriage breakdown Gerard went on to have a string of lovers. In 1992, while separated from Elisabeth, he had a daughter Roxane Depardieu with the model Karine Sylla. His fluctuating private life took another turn when Gerard took up with actress Carole Bouquet with whom he was married from 1997 to 2005. A year later he had son Jean Depardieu with a Franco-Cambodian woman named Helene. Gerard has since been living with Harvard-educated novelist, Clementine Igou.
Depardieu has survived 17 (at the last count) motorbike accidents, a quintuple heart bypass and a runway accident when his small plane smacked into a Boeing 727 at Madrid airport. He's also seen through a poverty-ravished childhood, a short spell in jail for theft and a 26-year marriage. Little wonder the French call him "une force de la nature".
Guillaume and Julie-Depardieu
Guillaume was well known in his own right after starring in a number of films including the movie adaptation of Les Miserables in 2001. The 37-year-old actor, who had a daughter, died in a Parisian hospital following a severe bout of pneumonia.
Julie-Depardieu
Born 18 June 1973 in Paris, she is the daughter of Gerard Depardieu and Elisabeth Depardieu and the sister of the late Guillaume Depardieu – all are also film actors. She has two paternal half-siblings: half-sister Roxane and half-brother Jean.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian Mannerist painter who created ornate compositions of fruits, vegetables, animals, books, and other objects arranged to resemble human portraits. These works greatly inspired 20th century artist Salvador Dali and other Surrealist painters. Arcimboldo began his career as a cartoon designer of stained-glass windows for the Milan Cathedral. He later moved to Prague where he became one of the preferred court painters to the Habsburg rulers. During this time he also painted backdrops for the court theatre there and developed a talent for painting visual illusions. His eccentric paintings contained allegorical meanings, puns, and jokes exemplified in works like "Summer".

United Nations Somalia Eritrea Monitoring Group visits CMF
Date: August 22, 2017Author: Combined Maritime Forces
The Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) HQ was visited by Dr. Charles Cater from the United Nations' (UN) Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group to update CMF on the latest analysis of the illegal charcoal trade from Somalia. The export of charcoal from Somalia has been banned since 2012 under UN Security Council Resolution 2036.
Dr. Cater, a highly qualified Nairobi-based UN natural resources expert, spent three days with CMF staff to discuss CMF's activities in intercepting this illegal trade, which contributes substantial funding to the Somali militant group known as 'Al Shabaab'. Dr Cater explained that checkpoint taxation between charcoal production sites and stockpiles at ports currently generate at least $10m per annum of income for Al Shabaab.
In addition to meeting with CMF policy and legal advisers, Dr Cater discussed with the staff of Jordanian led Combined Task Force 152 to establish what more CMF can do to help enforce the UNSCR wherever possible. CTF 152 is specifically responsible for maritime security operations within the Arabian Gulf and, along with CTF 150 who focus on maritime security operations outside the Arabian Gulf, are best placed to disrupt the flow of charcoal from Somalia to countries in the region.
CMF has enjoyed some success during recent months by sharing information with port authorities in the importing nations, to provide the opportunity for those nations to then seize and sell the cargos, retaining the sales proceeds for their own national use. CMF is continuing to work with regional stakeholders to enforce Security Council resolution 2036 and eradicate the illicit charcoal trade as a source of financing for Al-Shabaab.
Published by Combined Maritime Forces
CMF is a unique multi-national collective of 33 like-minded nations, dedicated to promoting security and free flow of commerce across 3.2 million square miles of international waters in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Somali Basin, the Indian Ocean and the Gulf. CMF's main focus areas are disrupting terrorism, preventing piracy, reducing illegal activities, and promoting a safe maritime environment for all.	View all posts by Combined Maritime Forces

24-March 2012: …it became apparent as we waited until about 9:15am that no HiPos from work were going to show up. I knew one guy (whom I had coordinated this event with) had to attend a funeral so that was anticipated.
I awoke to a 6:30am alarm as I knew I had to allow myself plenty of time to get to the trailhead anticipating a group hike in which I was leading.
For the past two months, I had coordinated with another coworker a hike for High Potential Leadership (HiPo) program members at work. The thinking was that perhaps this would be a pleasurable way of encouraging the so-called future leaders of the company to network in addition to appreciating Nature in a laid back yet scenic backdrop.
The HiPo program itself was on the decline, however, so there was always in the back of my mind the likelihood that people would flake out and the group hike might end up being just a handful of people.
In any case, since I was the organizer, I still had to make sure that I was there in time waiting for would-be participants whether there were going to be people or not.
And since I had agreed with interested parties that the hike would start at 9am, I had to be sure that I was out of the house by about 8am.
At first, we were going to bring Tahia on this repeat hike (since we had just done this hike nearly two months ago). But when it was apparent that it wouldn't be easy to get her out of the house by the required time, we left her with Julie's mom.
I think Julie sensed the possibility of a low turnout so she decided at the last minute to tag along with me.
When all was said and done, it was about 8:15am when we left the house. It was a bit later than I wanted, but we figured traffic would be light and we should still be at the trailhead by 9am.
So the drive was pretty uneventful as expected with fairly light traffic as we made it all the way to the Sierra Madre exit. However, instead of going straight for the first light, we turned right on it.
It turned out that we were going up some unfamiliar streets (past a farmers market at a high school it seemed), and we quickly realized that we were on Sierra Madre Blvd instead of Altadena Dr.
Fortunately, there was a street where we cut across to our left and drove for a few more minutes until we were able to turn right at Altadena Dr, which was right before the entrance to Eaton Canyon Nature Park.
When we got to the car park, we were surprised by how busy it was. We ultimately drove all the way to the end of the lot, did the three-point turn, and then found a parallel parking spot on the opposite side of where the cars would be parked perpendicularly.
It was about 8:55am when I was waiting at the trailhead hoping to see some familiar faces from work.
Julie then joined me at 9am when she was done doing her preparations.
However, it became apparent as we waited until about 9:15am that no HiPos from work were going to show up. I knew one guy (whom I had coordinated this event with) had to attend a funeral so that was anticipated.
Still, I was a bit disappointed given how many other verbal commitments I had received, but I figured people might flake given the pattern of this kind of behavior for a while at work now.
I was thinking to myself that perhaps it was because we weren't able to secure an executive or a popular person who would've been a social hub. Maybe it was just a social event and not something HiPos could get volunteer hours for or get face time with a manager or exec.
Whatever the case, it was just going to be Julie and I. It was a bummer that we were repeating the same hike with Tahia (we're usually not keen on doing repeat hikes unless there was something different [like a hiking in a group in this case]), but with things turning out the way they did, I guess the silver lining to was that we would finally have our Din Tai Fung soup dumpling fix after the hike. After all, without Tahia, it would be early enough to reasonably beat the rush and not have to wait for a crazy long time over expensive Chinese food.
I guess the takeaway from this experience was that I probably shouldn't even bother setting these types of events up unless I get a firm commitment from someone I know who can bring or attract larger groups. Otherwise, the uncertainty and the trouble was probably not justified considering we kind of wasted a Saturday (though it would turn out that we made the most out of this situation).
So the hike began as just us two. Just like old times. Boy did I appreciate Julie tagging along to ensure I wasn't doing this hike solo.
There were still wildflowers around the picnic area before having to cross the wash. Clearly, it was Spring though it probably started since our early February hike when there were more wildflowers.
With the overcast skies from the fog, it was much cooler than it was last month. So that (along with not bringing Tahia along) allowed Julie and I to move quickly.
Somewhere near the Coyote Canyon junction, we saw a lot of eggs placed by a sign. We weren't sure what the whole point of that was. Nonetheless, we continued hiking.
One thing that surprised us was that we could hear water flowing in the wash as we got closer to the bridge at the mouth of Eaton Canyon. I didn't recall hearing anything flowing until we were well into the canyon during our February hike so that meant that were was probably a lot more water in there today.
It wasn't long before we got to the bridge and then proceeded further into Eaton Canyon.
As anticipated, the increase in water in the stream made the stream crossings a little bit trickier than before. It was a good thing that we had brought Tahia when it was drier because it would've been a lot trickier today (sticks or no sticks).
Since there was no one else coming with Julie and I, we had left our hiking sticks in the car. Turned out that we probably could've used them today. Nonetheless, we still managed.
After about another half-dozen crossings, we eventually got to the familiar falls.
It was not quite as crowded as it was at high noon last February, but there were still quite a handful of people here. It always amazes me how popular the waterfalls in So Cal are, but then again I think Julie said it best when she thought there weren't a whole lot to choose from down here so the reliable waterfalls in a dry year tend to be even more crowded than in a year with more distributed precipitation.
It was about 10:30am when we decided to head back to the trailhead.
As expected, we saw larger groups and even more people heading towards the falls as we were heading out.
But with our light load, we were determined to get to Din Tai Fung before the crush at midday.
Soon we were out of the canyon and not much longer thereafter, the walking was benign (i.e. without more rock hopping).
Julie noticed there was one person and a kid on horseback, which was something that caught her eye. Not long thereafter, we were back at the familiar Coyote Canyon junction but this time the eggs were gone.
By about 11:30am, we were back at the trailhead. As expected, there were many more cars here. I thought about how we started the hike back in February at this time. Now, we were done with the hike when we would've only gotten started with our daughter. I guess that was a clear indication of how much slower things go when you bring a baby or toddler.
Anyways, we managed to make it to Din Tai Fung at around 11:45am and even though there was a wait, it wasn't a bad one.
