Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), a senior member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, today voted for the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act (H.R. 3375) at a committee markup.
Congressman Guthrie is a cosponsor of the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act, a bipartisan bill that will address illegal robocall practices. The Energy and Commerce Committee approved the bill unanimously today. The Stopping Bad Robocalls Act will now advance to the House floor for a vote by the full House of Representatives.
“The number one thing I hear about from Second District residents is robocalls,” said Guthrie. “Kentuckians are sick of their lives being interrupted by these intrusive calls. People have told me about calls that look like they’re local or even coming from their own number, only to be coming from somewhere across the country. I was proud to support the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act, and I urge the House to pass this legislation as soon as possible.”
The Stopping Bad Robocalls Act will require phone carriers to implement call authentication technology, allow carriers to offer call blocking services to consumers, and direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to protect consumers from calls they did not agree to receive.

Another record-breaking year has been enjoyed so far by the volunteers from Cram the Cruiser/Stuff The Bus 2019 for Edmonson County schools at today's event, which was a huge success, according to coordinators, and even more donations are expected to continue.
Jamie Carnes, Supervisor of State and Federal Programs at Edmonson County Schools, said the annual school supply fundraiser is to allow all local students to start school "on a level playing field," with the supplies necessary to be successful.
"It's all about the kids," said Carnes. "This is so kids can know they can stop by the Family Resource Center offices and Youth Services Center Offices and find those supplies if they need them. It's an easy way for a kid to just stop by and grab a notebook, pencil, backpack--whatever they need--and go on about their day and not have to think about it too much."
Sheriff Shane Doyle said all local law enforcement agencies have had a great working relationship for many years, but this is certainly one event that brings those agencies even closer together.
"We love showing our support for our local students," he said. "This is one of the outreach programs where we can come out in a different setting and talk to our kids, their parents, and their families, and show them that we're all part of the same community. Kentucky State Police, Brownsville Police, we're all the same team and we love coming together for our local kids."
One of the event coordinators, Lisa Whobrey, Community Education Director of EC Schools, said this year's event has been overwhelming.
"If a kid is striving to do good in school but they don't have the supplies they need, then they can't do the best they can," she said. "This is to see that students have what they need to achieve their goals in our schools."
Nearly $3K in cash was raised at today's event, which was a combination of donation gathered at tents set up at Dollar General in Chalybeate, Family Dollar in Brownsville, and Ace Hardware, also in Brownsville. Several police cruisers and the Edmonson Voicemobile were packed with donated supplies. Chalybeate Food Mart owners Manish and Nisha Patel shocked volunteers when they presented a check for $1000 to help the cause.
Those that weren't able to attend today's event can still donate to the cause. Donations are accepted anytime by contacting Edmonson County Schools Family Resource and Youth Service Centers, or anyone with the Edmonson County Anti-Drug Coalition.
One dollar donation tabs are available at businesses throughout the county, 100% of which go directly to Cram The Cruiser/Stuff the Bus in Edmonson County.
"We couldn't do this without the wonderful people of Edmonson County," said Whobrey. "I can't say enough about how wonderful our community is. We just have a wonderful community and I'll put us up against anybody."

Waddell: "Brian Alexander IS Edmonson County High School"
Darren Doyle, story and photos:
Brian Alexander has been named the new principal at Edmonson County high school in an announcement made today by Patrick Waddell, superintendent of Edmonson County Schools. Waddell said there were eight applicants for the open position, three of which were granted interviews. Two of those were applicants within the district, with one being from another county.
Waddell said that after the interviews and being in closed session with the site-based decision-making council today, Alexander was the best choice for the position.
"We had probably two hours of discussion after the interviews about who we felt would be best and the individual that was named was Brian Alexander," said Waddell. "Brian Alexander IS Edmonson County High School, so-to-speak," he added with a smile.
Alexander is no stranger to Edmonson County schools. A 1988 graduate of ECHS, and a lifelong Edmonson county resident, Alexander began his education career in 1995 at Warren Central high school.
He was first hired at Edmonson County high school in 1996 as a teacher and later became part of the administration. In 2003 he then went to Caneyville Elementary, then returned to ECHS as principal in 2005, where he stayed until 2014 when he moved to the district office as Director of Pupil Personnel.
Alexander discussed the opportunity to return to ECHS as principal.
"When I left before, I almost talked myself out of it. I came within an inch of never leaving," he said. "But it was the right thing to do at the time. The school needed something fresh and I needed the opportunity to look at things from a different perspective. I've had five years to recharge my batteries and I think I'll be able to have a much different perspective. I feel like I can do a better job than when I first stepped in here fourteen years ago. I feel like I can learn from the past and do a good job."
Alexander said his experience at the board office over the last 5 years has been invaluable and will help him in the daily grind of the role of a high school principal.
"The experiences I've had working with other administrators, our superintendent, and other district employees, and all the conversations I've had with Mr. Hodges, and seeing what he's faced, it's been very valuable experience that will help me back into this role."
Waddell said it's not everyday that a person had the opportunity to be principal, move to another role, then return to principal.
"Brian has been able to get a holistic view of the district, the school, and I feel that the high school is getting a well-rounded, community respected principal," he said. "Brian had great student relationships when he was here before and I expect those to continue when he steps back in. I'm excited, the SBDM staff is excited, I think the school staff is excited, and I believe the community will be excited to have Brian back as principal at Edmonson County High School."
When asked what was his general outlook on being named principal again, Alexander said "This place has been in very good hands with Mr. Hodges and I want to keep moving forward, trying to make the school be even better than it is right now."

One of two annual night meetings for Fiscal Court was held on July 8, 2019 in the upstairs court room.
In New Business, the Court also approved the 2019 ACAB Spay/Neuter grant application and also approved to administer the grant vouchers out of the Judge Executive’s Office. The County is contributing $1500 and the City of Brownsville is contributing $500 towards the Spay/ Neuter Grant. The ACAB Spay/Neuter will match the $2000 for a total of $4000 to be used for Spay/Neuter Vouchers that will be given out on a first come first serve basis out of Judge Executive Office.
Cat vouchers will be for $40, and dog vouchers will be $50. Residents will be responsible to pay the difference which will be from $5 to $30 depending on the animal being altered. The vouchers will be valid at Thomas & England Vet Clinic in Smiths Grove. The vouchers are valid for 60 days. The Judge’s office will let the public know when vouchers are available for pick up.
Also in New Business, the approved the following:
Road Report- County Road Foreman Greg Carroll reported that he had turned in $50,000 of FEMA money and that all discretionary fund work has been completed on Oak Hill Rd. He also reported multiple vehicle repairs that have been completed or are in the process of being repaired--which will include repairs due to a recent employee accident. Mowing is currently being done in District three.
Sheriff Report- Sheriff Shane Doyle reported that Deputy Wally Ritter is currently enrolled in the Firearms Instructor program in Richmond KY due to Deputy Stoney obtaining a job in Warren County. Doyle also reported an arrest near the lake that included drug charges. Doyle also reported that deputy Skaggs hit a deer which totaled his patrol truck and that there are two options which include: the department buying back the truck and paying for the repairs for a rebuilt vehicle, or receiving the pay off and getting a new vehicle. Sheriff Doyle voiced his concern with the truck having a rebuilt title and stated the vehicle would no longer have a warranty and if someone was injured in or by the vehicle it could cause issues for the department.
Doyle concluded his report by asking Fiscal Court to consider assigning Animal Control to respond to the animal abuse/neglect calls that are called into dispatch. Sheriff Doyle said that in most cases when a Deputy is called out, no laws are being broken and that there isn’t anything that law enforcement can do. Allowing animal control to respond to these calls first would free up Deputy’s being able to respond to other calls more quickly. Doyle stated that if Animal Control felt that a Deputy was needed then at that point a Deputy would respond.
Jailer Report- Deputy Jailer Todd Vincent reported 23 inmates at Hart County Jail and 1 one home incarceration.
County Clerk- County Clerk Kevin Alexander reported that the state is implementing a new system for boats that will begin on Monday. All Kentucky County clerk offices will be closed to the public on Saturday July 13th in preparation for the new system. Alexander reported that the first few weeks of the new system could have some hiccups.
Parks & Rec Report- Edmonson County Parks & Rec Program Director John Kiernan reported that Freedom Fest was a huge success this year. The department profited $2865.00 from the concessions and donations during Freedom Fest. Kiernan stated that Parks & Rec couldn’t do what they do without the support of local business and residents. He also announced that two All-star baseball teams will be competing for state titles and soccer will begin in August.
Tourism Report- Chamber and Tourism Director Rhonda Clemmons reported that there will be a public input reception for Mammoth Cave National Park at the Edmonson County library on July 18th from 4-6 pm. The Friends of Nolin Lake Family Fest will be on Saturday July 20th at Moutardier from 11-2pm and will included free food, music and inflatables. The Parks and Rec Bluegrass Jam will be held on July 22nd from 6:30-9pm at the Community Center. She also reported that recruitment for volunteers for the Edmonson County booth at the State Fair has begun. The State Fair is set for August 15th-25th.
In closed session, the Court discussed the possible acquisition of a piece of property. In regular session, District 4 Magistrate Edd Rich made a motion for Judge Executive Wil Cannon to view the property and that he felt the property would meet the county's needs to move forward with the next step to acquire the property. The court agreed on that motion.
Update 7/09/19: an earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the magistrates approved the purchase of a dog control vehicle; however, a motion was made but no second was received on the motion, therefore the motion died. We apologize for the error.
Edmonson County Circuit Court Clerk Tanya Hodges has released a special statement regarding the process of jury duty summons' in Edmonson County.
"Dear Edmonson County residents,
As you may know, when court cases require a jury here in the Edmonson County Courthouse, our office has to request a jury panel from Frankfort. I, nor anyone in our office has any control as to whom is mailed a jury summons. We simply request a certain amount of names, and then the names are randomly selected from a database stored in Frankfort.
It has come to our attention that several families have received a summons in the name of a deceased loved one. We know this is frustrating, and sometimes painful. We deeply apologize for these incidents and we are working hard to keep this from happening in the future.
A new jury panel is currently being selected and the summons' have been mailed out. Again, we do not select these names locally, but we ask that if you or a family member receive a summons for someone who has passed, to please contact our office immediately so that we can notify Frankfort in order to remove that name from the database.
We are here to serve you with respect and dignity, and we deeply care about our responsibilities, our credibility, but most importantly, you, the people of Edmonson County. Please contact our office with any needs for our services, it is our pleasure to serve you. Thank you so much."

Over 9K Emergency Room Firework-Related Injuries in 2018: Firecrackers #1 Cause
Edmonson Voice Staff Report: Moriah Peterson, photo:
Family, fun, food and fireworks. It’s that time of year when many will be celebrating the Fourth of July holiday. All too often, however, celebrations can end with a trip to the hospital if fireworks are mishandled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) wants to make sure consumers know the risks, so that they can prevent the tragedies. At a fireworks safety press conference and demonstration on the National Mall on June 26th, CPSC announced that at least five fireworks-related deaths were reported in 2018—all associated with reloadable aerial devices.
“CPSC works year-round to help prevent deaths and injuries from fireworks, by verifying fireworks meet safety regulations in our ports, marketplace and on the road,” said Ann Marie Buerkle, CPSC acting chairman. “Beyond CPSC’s efforts, we want to make sure everyone takes simple safety steps to celebrate safely with their family and friends.”
There were an estimated 9,100 fireworks-related, emergency department-treated injuries in 2018, with 62 percent of them occurring during the month surrounding the Fourth of July (June 22-July 22). During that period, firecrackers were the number one cause of injuries, accounting for 19 percent of the estimated injuries. For children under 5 years of age, sparklers accounted for more than half of the total estimated injuries.
Since 2018 reporting is not yet complete, the five fireworks-related deaths should be considered a minimum. The victims range in age from 16 to 49. In one of the reported cases, an 18-year-old launched a mortar shell from a tube on the top of his head. The ignited shell did not launch and exploded. The victim died in the hospital the next day.
CPSC staff has reports of 121 fireworks-related deaths between 2003 and 2018.
Tips to Celebrate Safely:
Also attending CPSC’s fireworks press conference, Dr. Sarah Combs, an emergency room doctor from Children’s National Medical Center. Dr. Combs said, “Each year, too many emergency room doctors see too many fireworks-related injuries. Don’t make the emergency room part of your holiday; don’t let children play with fireworks,” she said.
Remember, even if your consumer fireworks are legal, they still come with risk. If you light fireworks, keep safety in mind for you, your family and those around you.
SFC Larry Hawks Presented With Second Highest Military Award In Army
Darren Doyle, story:
Edmonson County native Army Ret. MSgt. Larry Hawks, originally from Wingfield, was recently presented the Distinguished Service Cross Award, the second highest military honor that is awarded by the U.S. Army.
Hawks received the award in a ceremony on June 21st at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School Auditorium in Fort Bragg, North Carolina for gallantry under fire as a member of 3rd Special Forces Group on July 24 and July 25, 2005, in Afghanistan.
“Sgt. 1st Class Hawks, while conducting armed reconnaissance of a town, came under intense enemy small arms, rocket propelled grenade, and mortar fire," the citation reads, according to a U.S. Army release. “While moving to interdict enemy combatants attempting to reposition themselves on the high ground west of the village, he discovered one of his comrades was pinned down by enemy fire. Sgt. 1st Class Hawks, without regard for his own safety dismounted from his vehicle and charged toward the enemy position on the high ground. Under continuous fire, he engaged and neutralized the enemy position.”
We spoke with Hawks earlier today about the incident that took place nearly 14 years ago.
"Right off the bat, we knew the bad guys were moving to the high ground and our thought process was, if we don't get these guys before they get there, and we're trying to clear this town, we're going to have guys up above us, shooting at us all day," he said.
"This town wasn't really a town in a traditional sense. They didn't have roads. It was more like mud huts in a village on the other side of a river. It was kinda back into the mountains, and we're coming in on four-wheelers, not big armored vehicles. We're riding through rocks on top of rocks, it's jagged and we can't go very fast. We found this ditch, or it's called a 'waddi' for cover, and we came up out of it, a guy behind me came up and all hell broke loose--the whole town exploded in gunfire."
It was gunfire that he said lasted 14 straight hours, from about 80 enemies that were only about 20 yards away.
"They were close enough you could've hit 'em with a football and they were giving us everything they had."
When asked how does one keep from getting shot to pieces by 80 bad guys at only 20 yards, Hawks replied with a chuckle, "I guess God's got a sense of humor."
Hawks said he was able to get his ATV out of immediate fire when he heard a fellow soldier call for help.
"I heard him say 'man, they got me, I'm pinned down,' I just jumped on the radio and said 'hey, I'm coming brother.' So I grabbed my machine gun and an extra 600 rounds of ammo."
Hawks was still under fire at this point but he said he knew he had to try to provide aid for his friend.
"When I get there, I see my buddy and he's off his four-wheeler and crawled up in a ditch where he could get out of immediate fire and return some fire, but he's just one guy. I could see the ones firing, they were just basically trying to hold his attention and I could see they were laughing about it. I was able to get some high ground and I could see down the entire ambush line. I took my machine gun and went to work. That changed their mind right there. They didn't know where the fire was coming from, but they knew it was bad."
Hawks said for about the first 20 minutes, it was just three good guys against everybody, but a soon after, a couple of gun trucks arrived, then Apache helicopters, then more help finally came, with Hawks serving as the makeshift air controller in the 114 degree temperatures.
U.S. forces eventually took care of the "bad guys," which were a mixture of Taliban fighters and other assorted enemies of the USA, Hawks said.
When asked about receiving the award and participating in the ceremony, Hawks was relatively quiet.
"I didn't think it was a big deal," he said with a laugh. " I mean, I know it's a big deal, but you know, I didn't expect to get anything. I had one of my guys that needed some help so I gave him a hand."
Which is true; however, it was a 'hand' that resulted in 90 enemy kills, 17 surrenders, and the life saved of Hawks' friend.
In addition to the DSC Award, Hawks has also been awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Southwest Asia Service Medal with 2 stars, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia), Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait), Special Forces tab, Ranger tab, Combat Infantry Badge, HALO Jumpmaster Badge, Static Line Jumpmaster and the Excellence in Combat Marksmanship Badge Bronze.
He is a 1988 graduate of Edmonson County High School and enlisted in the Army immediately after graduating at age 17. His first duty station was with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he served four years and deployed to Panama, the Sinai, Egypt, and Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm all with 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment.
In 1992, Hawks was assigned to the XVIII Airborne Corps Long Range Surveillance Company where he served in every position from scout, up to platoon sergeant.
He then attended Army Special Forces Qualification Course and subsequently became an 18C, or engineer sergeant.
He currently resides in Salemburg, North Carolina with his family. He is the son of Tonie and Patsey Hawks of Wingfield.

Ten local programs provided through seven different service providers will receive the allocated campaign dollars and donor designations.
To receive funding from United Way of Southern Kentucky, programs had to align with the four areas deemed most important by a community research project conducted by United Way that began in 2012 which included nearly 5,000 surveys, 55 Community Conversations, and large amounts of secondary data.
In September of 2018, organizations with programs impacting UWSK’s strategic imperatives in each of the defined Community Impact issue areas (Education, Income, Health, and Safety Net) were asked to submit a Letter of Intent indicating their desire to complete a full application request for funding. Across the region, 83 total Letters of Intent were submitted requesting $1,596,096 in funding. Upon review by the Letter of Intent Committee, 72 of those that were submitted were invited to complete the full application across the 10 county BRADD region.

Three brand new school buses have been added to the fleet of Edmonson County Schools and will be incorporated into bus routes for the 2019-20 school year.
"We try to take buses off routes after ten to twelve years," said Lannie Deweese, Director of Transportation & Maintenance of EC Schools.
Two of the buses will be used for standard routes while the other is a customized special needs bus that can also accommodate a wheel chair.
Deweese also said the buses cost around $92,000 each.
Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Mammoth Cave National Park’s planned closure of the Green River Ferry Crossing and Green River Ferry Road for a vehicle ramp extension project has been delayed until at least Monday, July 15 due to contractual delays. The delay will not affect the constructions project’s end date which remains Friday, November 15.
The Green River Ferry ramp extension project will extend the current vehicle access ramps into the Green River by 30 feet which should allow the ferry boat to operate during periods of low water levels. The latest construction start date was Monday, July 8, but the contractor will not be in place in time to warrant a closure of the ferry operation. The project is being coordinated by the Federal Highway Administration Eastern Lands Highway Division.
To check the current status of the Green River Ferry Crossing improvement projects and the Green River Ferry and road closure, please visit the park’s website www.nps.gov/maca/green-river-ferry-improvement-projects.htm or call the Green River Ferry Hotline at 270-758-2166. Updates on the construction start date will also be provided on the park’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
REPS. BART ROWLAND, BRANDON REED PRE-FILE LEGISLATION MAKING DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENT
Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
“Springing Forward” and “Falling Backward” could be one step closer to history under legislation pre-filed today by Representative Bart Rowland of Tompkinsville and Representative Brandon Reed of Hodgenville. The measure, BR 181, would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent throughout the commonwealth, but only if Congress first passes a federal law allowing states to observe daylight saving time year-round.
By putting an end to the practice of changing clocks every March and November and giving Kentuckians more evening daylight hours during winter months, Rowland and other supporters believe that Kentuckians will reap immediate benefits.
“Studies show that adding more light at the end of the day improves everything from traffic safety to crime and the use of electricity. I think it’s time for Kentucky to join the conversation on whether or not we’re willing to do away with the antiquated practice of changing clocks,” Rowland said.
According to research from the Brookings Institute, there is a 19 percent drop in the probability of any robbery occurring in the weeks after DST begins, and a 27 percent decrease in the robbery rate during sunset hours. In addition to the proven public safety benefits, medical research also shows an increased risk of heart attacks following time changes. Data collected over three years from hospitals in Michigan found that on the Monday immediately after Daylight Saving Time began, there was an average of 25 percent more heart attack patients.
The measure is cosponsored by Representative Brandon Reed of Hodgenville, who resides in and represents two counties in the Eastern Time Zone. Most of Rowland’s district falls in the Central Time Zone
“After discussing this issue at length with my constituents and seeing our neighbor to the south pass this legislation, I am convinced that it’s time for Kentucky to strongly make our voice heard,” Reed said. “Kentucky should be the next state to lead on this issue and pass this legislation, which will also pressure Congress to act.”
If BR 181 is approved during the 2020 General Assembly, Kentucky will join more than a dozen other states in the movement to make DST permanent. While Tennessee recently enacted a bill to do so, Florida was the first state in the nation to vote to make Daylight Saving Time permanent in 2018, with their action being followed by passage of similar measures in states including Tennessee, Oregon, and Washington. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio has introduced bipartisan legislation on the federal level making DST permanent throughout the nation, and President Trump has endorsed the idea.
“With support from President Trump, red and blue states across America and many of my constituents, the time has come to make Daylight Saving Time permanent,” Rowland added. “My constituents overwhelmingly support this proposal, and passing it will show the federal government exactly where Kentuckians stand on this issue.”
BR 181 will be considered by the General Assembly during the 2020 legislative session. Specific details of the measure can be viewed here.
UPDATE 7/02/19: An earlier version of this article had the headline as "KY Lawmakers Look To Eliminate Daylight Savings Time," which some perceived as inaccurate. While Daylight Saving Time is the process of advancing clocks forward, and the proposed bill would eliminate the advancing of clocks-- which is why we ran the above headline, Daylight Saving Time would be actually be year-round. We have adjusted the headline and graphic to represent the latter. We apologize for any confusion.

The Vale Artists, IV.—Reginald Savage
The least-known of the illustrators of Dial, Reginald Savage, has published very little work in England, but is, nevertheless, anterior in date to Ricketts, Shannon, and Pissarro. He first exhibited at the Institute of Painters in Water-Colours, some ten years ago, choosing romantic subjects, such as scenes from the lives of the saints. His “Enid and Geraint” may be taken to represent that period of his work. at the time this picture was painted, Savage was an art-student working with Shannon—who first exhibited in 1886—Ricketts, and Raven Hill. The last work he exhibited in England was his “St. Elizabeth in Exile,” which appeared at the first exhibition of the New Gallery. Since that time his work has only appeared in Dial, possibly because at the time the first number appeared the work of the Vale men was, to a certain extent, boycotted by all the galleries. He has engraved some of his own drawings, and Ricketts has engraved one or two. The one reproduced here, “The Lotus-Eaters,” is a reproduction of a pen-drawing, and shows the artist to great advantage. His power of imaginative treatmetn is displayed in the lotus-flowers that grow through the vessel’s decaying deck; in the languid mariners, to whom movement of the body or brain is alike impossible; in the misty phantoms hovering over all. The mariner in the foreground recalls certain lines of Tennyson’s poem—
…if his fellow spake,
His voice was thin as voices from the grave;
And deep-asleep he seem’d, yet all awake,
And music in his ears his beating heart did make.
Surely, since the Moxon Tennyson was published, few designs could be found showing as much concentration in workmanship and thought as this little drawing.
Some of his earlier work found its way to Belgium, and the Count de Looz commissioned the artist to decorate a family chapel. This work took three years to execute, and consisted of five compositions painted on the chapel walls, representing the incidents in the life of St. Christine l’Admirable. It has been found possible to reproduce a fragment of the preliminary scheme for one of the designs, but this is all that can be given. The interior of the chapel is dimily lighted, and it has been found impossible to photograph the paintings. This is much to be regretted, for they form the most important work of Reginald Savage, and must always remain very little known. Two of them measure sixteen by ten feet, and one contains upwards of a hundred figures.
I have now come to the end of the brief series of articles devoted to the Vale and its works. True it is that Sturge Moore has done thirty or more engravings, but, seeing that he and John Gray really represent the literary rather than the artistic side of the Dial, it is not necessary to deal with their work here. It only now remains to consider the main aim of the artists.
The aim of the founders of the Dial has been—if I understand it aright—the suppression of outside interference with the artist’s work. Their use of original lithography and original wood-engraving has undoubtedly tended to this end, for they draw, execute, and at times even print their own work; in fact, with the exception of Mr. Lane, who has published their engraved books, they have no publisher. The Dial has conferred upon all its works the important gift of free expression, in absolute diregard to the traditions of the publishing world. Yet, despite this freedom, none of their work can be deemed flippant in thought or execution. Often imaginative, they show a distinct appreciation of the technique required by the medium they use, so that the pen-drawings are unlike the etchings, the lithographs and woodcuts are unlike either. This conscientiousness in work, this moderate and careful production in times where the output is so vast, has made their rate of progress seem slow. Many men and styles have sprung up, with mushroom-like rapidity, to become scorched by the sum of indiscriminate eulogy, and wither as quickly as they appeared. Meanwhile, the Vale men have found their work seadily increasing in public favour, and, better still, in the favour of those whose likes and dislikes are founded on a full appreciation of merit. Moreover, they have enough experience and knowledge of the world to take their success quietly, and not to allow it to either to turn their heads from the ideals they have ever turly followed or their hands from the labour in which they delight.

From the Financial Times, title and subtitle.
Pandemic politics: the rebound of Latin America’s populists
…wait for it…
The presidents of Brazil and Mexico have benefited from emphasising the economy ahead of health
There’s that strictly secular pious posing I was waiting for!
Nevermind that the state is not our provider nor our healer: “What is that thing? God?”
It exists merely to support public justice and suppress public evil.
As opposed to some fraudulent Mighty Idol we must look up to for our salvation/healing and our daily bread.
As Brazil’s cemeteries filled with coronavirus victims and the South American nation’s death toll surged to the second highest in the world,
Frothing panic much?
From the outset, Mr Bolsonaro had gambled his reputation on playing down the risks from the virus and encouraging life to carry on as normal. He dismissed Covid-19 as a “little flu” and told Brazilians to “face it like a man, dammit”.
We’ll be waiting a long, long time, waiting for Our Betters to use such divisive language. (In contrast to the usual vulgarities that Our Cultural Superiors prefer.)
Peru was praised early in the pandemic for doing everything right. Its lockdown came fast and was enforced by the army and police. Finance minister María Antonieta Alva’s spending package was among the region’s biggest in proportion to the size of the economy and included cash payments to help the poorest.
But the results were disastrous. Peru now has the world’s highest number of coronavirus deaths relative to the size of its population, according to John Hopkins, higher even than Brazil. Its economy, crippled by the strict lockdown, collapsed by 30.2 per cent in the second quarter, the worst of any major economy. Almost half the urban population was put out of work.
The Right Sort are mildly disappointed… but obviously, things will be put to right when the incompetent health bureaucracies are punished by expanding their budgets and powers over the Inferiors.
As Latin America’s mostly US-educated technocratic elite struggle to respond to the coronavirus crisis, the more modest backgrounds of the populists have given them a head start in understanding the needs and concerns of the poor.
Mr Bolsonaro’s upbringing in a small, rural town allows him to give the impression that he has some insight into the lives of ordinary people, while Mr López Obrador spent years as a community organiser in some of Mexico’s poorest and most marginalised areas.
Keep an eye on this.
Gary North is correct: The Masters will make certain that nobody like President Trump ever pulls a surprise takeover of a major party ever again.
But I – like North – has always emphasized local politics (county/small town), not the Heart of the Galactic Empire.
And there’s more than one way to skin a cat.

JMI Capital Report
State College President Resigns Amid $837k Salary Scandal
By Will Patrick – November 16, 2011
Edison State College President Kenneth Walker announced this week he will resign from his executive position at the southwest Florida former community college after a damaging report released by the Florida Auditor General questioned Walker’s $837,085 annual salary—an amount three times the state limit.In 2010-11, Walker received a base salary of $322,400 with bonuses and cash equivalents totaling roughly $515,000. In addition, Walker’s contract as district President was set to end June 30, 2014 and included a 12 month sabbatical leave.In 2010, the Florida Legislature passed a new statute limiting the total compensation of state college presidents to $225,000 annually (including salary, bonuses, and all other compensation except health insurance and retirement benefits). Walker receives the maximum $225,000, an additional $277,705 from a college Auxiliary Fund, and $273,932 from other revenue sources.So while technically legal, the ethical concern is how Walker’s salary is justified—the central question of the report. Why should Walker receive large payouts from the college auxiliary reserve fund and monies accumulated from other college revenue sources (not expressly identified in the audit) when these resources could be used to lower tuition?Edison State’s board responded to an initial inquiry from the Auditor General by stating President Walker’s salary was rooted in the board’s “Compensation Philosophy” and is in line with similar state colleges. However, Miami Dade College has over five times as many full-time students and pays its president over $200,000 less.Since the controversy first broke several deans and senior staffers have resigned and two vice presidents have been dismissed. Governor Rick Scott has also appointed four new board members who are tasked with a detailed review of the Auditor General’s findings. Edison State College will next be visited by a state reaccreditation team.Walker’s contract was amended two months prior to the effective date of the compensatory limiting statute and he received four significant pay increases in less than three years.Edison State College is under the general direction and control of the Florida Department of Education and the Division of Florida Colleges.

"Where ocean bathes earth's footstool these sea-bowers
Bedeck its solid wavelets: wise was he
Who blended shore with deep, with seaweed flowers,
And Naiads' rivulets with Nereids' sea."
Strictly speaking the peninsula on which the city stands is of the form of a trapezium. It juts out into the sea, beating back as it were the fierce waves of the Bosphorus, and forcing them to turn aside from their straight course and widen into the Sea of Marmora, which the ancients called the Propontis, narrowing again as it forces its way between the near banks of the Hellespont, which rise abrupt and arid from the European side, and slope gently away in Asia to the foot of Mount Ida. Northwards there is the little bay of the Golden Horn, an arm as it were of the Bosphorus, into which run the streams which the Turks call the Sweet Waters of Europe. The mouth of the harbour is no more than five hundred yards across. The Greeks of the Empire spanned it by a chain, supported here and there on wooden piles, fragments of which still remain in the Armoury that was once the church of S. Irene. Within is safe anchorage in one of the finest harbours of the world.

Regeneration of the Recent Past
International researching & teaching experiencea cura di Pier Antonio Val
To regenerate the recent past and build on existing buildings: these are the issues of the present. What this book presents is first and foremost an effort to foster a critical debate at the international level, based on the organization of an experimental design experience to take place simultaneously in various architecture schools in Europe and beyond, connected “online” thanks to the opportunities provided by contemporary computer technology (Skype, Wiki and Google Drive). The goal is to share a concrete experience, exploring themes and sites in common, to verify whether this can help to delineate and orient a transformation in research and “architectural education” in the light of a profoundly changed context. The intention is to show how the articulated sequence, exploring the same issues in different areas such as New York, Venice, Paris, Marseilles and Seville, can reveal a constellation of possibilities, even when approached from different perspectives.

Your lab practical next time will assess your mastery of a selection of these stations - all are fair game, as is the lab safety material covered in today's pre-lab lecture.
Someone will show you how to use your pipetmen and then you will use them to dilute a blue dye (0.01% Xylene Cyanol).
If you have never used pipetmen then you should practice by pipeting 800, 80 and 8 μl of the 0.01% XC stock into eppendorf tubes. XC is not hazardous but it will stain your clothes. Pipet each volume three times and visually inspect how well the volumes match.
Using your P20, measure 10, 15 and 20 μl of the 0.01% XC stock solution into the bottom of three eppendorfs. Using your P1000, add water to bring the final volume to 1 ml (=1000 μl).
Using your P200, measure 20, 50 and 100 μl of the 0.01% XC stock solution into the bottom of three more eppendorfs. Using your P1000, add water to bring the final volume to 1 ml.
Using your P1000, measure 100, 200, and 400 μl of 0.01% XC solution into the bottom of three more eppendorfs. Add water to bring the final volume to 1 ml.
Invert each eppendorf several times to thoroughly mix the contents.
Visually compare your dilutions to the reference ones. If time permits, you will read the absorbance of your dilutions in the spectrophotometer so transfer the volumes to cuvettes and do not throw them away.
Station 2: Introduction to our microscopes (Guided)
Much of biology examines natural components that are too small to see. Imaging technology took a gigantic step forward in the 1680s when Anton van Leeuwenhoek ground a microscope lens sufficiently fine to see a living cell (a bacteria he had scraped from his teeth!). His microscope had one lens and the image he saw was approximately 250 times its natural size (250X magnification). Compound microscopes, like the ones we have in lab, use a second lens to magnify the image from the first and can increase the total magnification up to 1000X. One of our microscopes is also attached to a beam splitter that allows excitation light to be separated from emitted light. This allows us to perform fluorescence microscopy.
No matter how fine its lens, a light microscope cannot distinguish objects closer than 200 nm. The resolution of light microscopes is limited by both the wavelength of white light (300-700 nm) and the scattering of light by the object it strikes. For better resolution, great lenses must be combined with shorter wavelengths, such as those followed by electrons or lasers, and better ways of focusing the beam such as forcing it to travel through a vacuum or an oil. Linking the microscope to a computer with digital image processing can also enhance its images. The sample itself can also be stained or fluorescently tagged to improve detection of its features.
Today you will be shown how to use each of the microscopes in the main lab and you will use them to examine some different cell types. You will be asked to focus a sample during the lab practical next time.
Station 3: Introduction to making solutions (Self-Guided)
Today you will make 100 ml of a 0.5M sorbitol solution and measure its pH. Making solutions is a fundamental part of being in lab and the success of your experiments is absolutely dependent on doing it correctly and consistently. If you are unclear about any of the following instructions, be sure to ask for help.
Part 1: At the Balance
Put on gloves and eye protection to weigh out solids. This protects you from the chemicals and the chemicals from getting contaminated with anything foreign on your hands. Sorbitol is not a dangerous chemical.
Zero the balance with a medium size weigh boat on it. Weigh boats are kept in the drawer under the balance. The marked -> O/T <- will zero (“tare”) the balance and the display should read 0.0000 after taring. Be sure to close the balance doors when taring the balance.
Use a spatula to measure 9.1 grams of sorbitol. To measure this, open the balance doors and hold the spatula and chemical over the weigh boat. Begin by adding only a small amount of the powder to the weigh boat. Once you determine how much that weighs, you can add correspondingly more. If you have weighed out too much, you can put some back as long as you have used a clean spatula and a clean weigh boat.
Remove the weigh boat with your sorbitol from the balance, gently bend the ends together and pour the contents into a beaker. Tap the back of the weigh boat to loosen any powder that is stuck. The weigh boat can be discarded in the trash since sorbitol is not dangerous.
Clean the balance with a brush. Clean the area around the balance with a wet paper towel.
Part 2: Measuring Liquids and Mixing
Measure approximately 80 ml of distilled water (from the faucet on the left side of the sinks) into a 100 ml graduated cylinder. Read the volume in the cylinder by bringing it to eye level to see where the meniscus reaches. Add the water to the beaker with your sorbitol.
Gently drop in a magnetic stir bar with a diameter approximately 1/2 that of the beaker. Magnetic stir bars are kept in the drawer below the balance.
Put the beaker on the stir plate and turn the stirrer on slowly. The stir bar should spin fast enough to form a vortex in the center of the beaker. You do not want the stir bar to bump around in the beaker since this can break the beaker. If the stir bar is stirring unevenly, then turn off the stir plate, allow the magnetic stir bar to stop, and then start it again.
Stir until all the powder is dissolved.
Pour the solution back into your graduated cylinder.
Add distilled water up to 100 ml using a plastic disposable pipet. To open the pipet, hold it in one hand. With the other hand puncture the wrapper by pulling it against the top of the pipet (not the end with the tip!). Put the exposed end of the pipet into the pipet aid or bulb then withdraw the pipet from the rest of the wrapper. Place the tip of the pipet into the ultrapure water and withdraw enough water to “top off” your solution. Dispense the water into your sorbitol by submerging the tip of the pipet into the solution and releasing the water from the pipet. Stop when the graduated cylinder reads 100 ml. Extra water can be discarded into the sink and the used pipet can be discarded in the sharps waste container that is under your bench.
Pour your sorbitol solution back into your beaker for when you reach the pH'ing station. If you did not have to measure its pH you would move it to a bottle for storage.
Station 4: Introduction to pH (Self-Guided)
You will measure the pH of the sorbitol solution you've made (or you can use the stock that's available). Begin by putting the solution on the stir plate and start the stir bar gently spinning.
Remove the pH electrode from the storage solution and rinse it over the waste beaker using distilled water from the wash bottle. A Kimwipe can be used to gently dry the electrode.
Manipulate the mechanical arm that holds the electrode to place the electrode 1/2 way into the 15 ml conical tube with calibration buffer pH 7.0. The green measurement tip should be submerged. Press the “measure” button in the upper right corner of the pH meter's control panel. Wait for the reading to stabilize, for the "AR" light to stop flashing and note how close the reading is to pH 7.
Rinse and dry the electrode then place it in your sorbitol solution. Use the mechanical arm to hold the electrode at the edge of the beaker and be careful not to let the stir bar hit (and break!) the electrode. Read the pH of your solution and let one of the teaching faculty know what you have found.
Rinse and dry the electrode then return it to the electrode storage solution.
Pour the sorbitol solution (but not the stir bar!) down the sink. Rinse the beaker with tap water and return it to the balance area. Dry the stir bar and return it to the drawer.
Station 5: Introduction to our spectrophotometers (Self-Guided)
Color is created when a white light strikes a molecule that then reflects light of a certain wavelength and absorbs all the others. A spectrophotometer is an instrument that measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample. It does this by shining light of a particular wavelength into a sample and measuring how much light comes all the way through. Samples are held in cuvettes between the light source and the detector.
Here are two important things to remember about spectrophotometers. First, different compounds absorb different wavelengths of light. Red pigments absorb blue light (light of ~300 nm wavelengths) and blue pigments absorb red light (light of ~600 nm wavelengths). Therefore all spectrophotometers have ways of adjusting the wavelength of light shining into the sample. The second important point is that the amount of light absorbed by a sample is directly proportional the concentration of that sample. This is a very useful relationship, making the spectrophotometer a valuable research tool.
In this assay you will calibrate your pipets by measuring the absorbance of the XC dilutions you made thanks to Beer’s Law, which linearly relates absorbance to concentration. You’ll see that the graph of absorbance versus volume of 0.01% XC is a straight line….or at least it should be!
Part 1: Using the DU 640 ("old") spectrophotometer
Using your P1000, measure 1 ml of water into a plastic cuvette. This cuvette will serve as your blank for the spectrophotometer.
Confirm that the machine is set to read absorbances at 600 nm (look at number shown in the middle of the screen) and that the visible light is on (lamp indicator is found at bottom of monitor screen).
Put your blank into the spectrophotometer at position 1, which is furthest back in the instrument. Be sure the window of the cuvette and not the frosty sides are in the light beam that travels from left to right (this is different from the beam's direction in the new machine!)
Close the door of the spectrophotometer. Click “blank” (lower left of the screen). A “reading blank” message should appear. When the message is gone, then the blank is set.
Replace the blank with your first sample. Close the door of the spectrophotometer. Click “read samples” (upper left of the screen). Write down this value.
Repeat with all your samples.
Remove your last sample. Close the door of the spectrophotometer.
Part 2: Using the DU 730 ("new") spectrophotometer
Follow the touch screen to select "Fixed Wavelength" of 600nm.
Insert your water blank into the cuvette holder. Be sure the window of the cuvette and not the frosty sides are in the light beam that travels from front to back (this is different from the beam's direction in the old machine). Close the door, then touch "Blank" to blank the machine.
Replace the blank with one of the three XC dilutions that you prepared with you P200, close the door to the spectrophotometer then touch "Read." How well does this value agree with the value you measured using the "old" machine?
Next, follow the touch screen back to the main menu and select "Scan Wavelength"
Again, blank the machine with your water cuvette.
Scan one of your XC samples. Does the output resemble the sample shown here? How does it differ (if at all)? Do you know why? Do you know why there is a peak at ~600 nm?
Once you have finished your introduction to both spectrophotometers, you can wash the XC dilutions down the sink and the cuvettes can be discarded in the sharps bin that are under each bench.
Station 6: Gel documentation station
This term we will use a gel documentation station to photograph agarose gels illuminated with UV light. Today you will practice focusing on an object and then capturing and printing the image. You must wear gloves when you touch any part of this equipment since a carcinogenic chemical (Ethidium Bromide) has been used here to visualize nucleic acids in agarose gels. After you have put on gloves, try the following:
Open the gel documentation cabinet by sliding the door to the left.
Put the test slide on the dark section of the UV transilluminator box that's on the bottom of the cabinet.
With the cabinet door open, turn the power switch that's on the front of the cabinet to ON. This step may have been done already by another group.
With the cabinet door open, turn the white light switch that's on the front of the cabinet to ON.
On the upper control panel, touch the upper left button that reads, "LIVE."
Using the image on the screen as your guide, center the test slide in the field of view.
Focus and zoom as needed using the middle "zoom" dial on the lens that's at the very top of the cabinet. The label for each dial can be found on the left of the lens.
When you are happy with the picture on the screen, close the cabinet door and turn the UV switch that's on the front of the cabinet to ON. The UV light (302nm) can damage your eyes and burn your skin but the cabinet is fitted with a safety switch so the door must be closed for the light to turn on.
Consider the image you now see on the screen. If you see red areas on the image, use the downward arrow key that's on the keypad to decrease the exposure time. Similarly, if you see no image on the screen, use the upward arrow key to increase the exposure.
Once you are happy with the image, press "FREEZE" and then "PRINT" on the front keypad.
Turn the UV light switch to "OFF."
Turn the white light switch to "OFF."
Turn the Power switch to "OFF."
Remove the test slide from the UV transilluminator and then close the cabinet door to leave the machine as you found it.
Station 7: Introduction to our tissue culture facility (Self-Guided)
Our lab is beautifully equipped. The tissue culture facility has six hoods with germicidal lamps, six incubators for growing mammalian cells, four inverted microscopes, and a tabletop centrifuge. It also has a waterbath for warming up solutions and a refrigerator for keeping them cool.
Match the names of the scientists (below) with the equipment the names are taped to. If you have questions, ask one of the teaching faculty.
Station 8: Introduction to lab safety equipment (Self-Guided)
Locate the following essential safety items in or near the lab. Write down where they are and an instance of when you'd use them.
Station 9: Graphing your data (Self-Guided)
Use Excel to prepare a graph of absorbance versus volume of 0.01% XC. If you haven't visited this station you can use the sample data that's here. Some sample graphs are reproduced below and you should generate similar ones with your data. Be sure to include a trendline, displaying its equation as well as the r-squared value on the graph. The r-squared value reflects how well the data points fit the equation. A perfect fit will give an r-squared value of 1. If you are uncertain how to make such a graph using Excel, be sure to ask for help. We will use Excel a lot this semester, in particular during experimental module 2.
If the pipets were well calibrated and the measurements were done carefully, then the points should fall close to a straight line, and the r-squared will be close to 1. If one point seems way off, you can repeat the three measurements for that pipetman. If the second set of data does not look linear, we can clean the inner workings of your pipetman before you try the assay again.
There should also be good agreement between the 20 ul measurements made with the P20 and the P200 as well as the 100 ul measurements made with the P200 and P1000. Is there?
Confirm that your data can print from your laptops to one of the two printers in the lab.
Station 10: Introduction to lab math (Self-Guided)
The information and exercises provided here are intended to refresh your memory of these concepts. If they are entirely new to you or if you are struggling with the practice problems, please ask for extra help. It is absolutely essential that you are comfortable with the information presented here.
Part 1: Metric system
This is the numerical language of science. Base units that you will most often use in this class are meters, grams, liters, and moles. These units will be appended with prefixes to modify the unit by a power of ten.
base unit (-g, -l, -mole…)
The distance between two cells in 800 μm. How many mm is that?
The amount of sorbitol you want to weigh is 1.9 g. How many mg is that?
The volume you want to measure is 100 ml. How many liters is that?
Your reaction generates 0.1 μmoles of product. How many mmoles is that?
Scientific notation expresses numbers so there is one digit to the left of the decimal point and that number is multiplied by a power of ten. 2334 becomes 2.334 x 103 and 0.0041 becomes 4.1 x 10-3. Computations are easier with numbers in scientific notation and some numbers that are easier to write (602,214,199,000,000,000,000,000 versus 6.02 x 1023).
Practice problems: Convert the following to scientific notation
The metric system and scientific notation go hand in hand, making unit conversions straightforward. For example 100 μl can be converted to ml by writing the starting volume in scientific notation (1.00 x 102 μl) and multiplying by the power of ten that separates the units (1 ml = 1 x 103 μl). Set up every equation so the units will cancel properly when you multiply through.
Practice problems: Be sure you can express your answers in scientific notation.
How many ml is 100 μl?
How many mg is .023 g?
How many mmoles is 250 μmoles?
Part 2: Concentrations
Molarity (moles/liter) is a common expression of concentration. When making a solution of a particular molarity, you need to know three things: the desired molarity, the desired volume and the formula weight of the compound to be dissolved. The best place to find the formula weight (grams/mole) is on the chemical’s bottle. Calculations are performed by setting up an equation so that the units cancel, leaving grams in the numerator and volume in the denominator.
Another common expression of concentration is percent. Percent solutions are always based on 100 ml. For powdered substances, percent solutions reflect the weight in a 100 ml volume (“w/v”). For example a 10% solution of NaCl is 10 grams in 100 ml of water. In fact a 10% solution of any powdery substance is 10 grams in 100 ml. For liquids, percent solutions reflect the volume in a 100 ml final volume (“v/v”). For example a 70% ethanol solution is 70 ml of 100% ethanol and 30 ml of water. Remembering that 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram may help you remember the w/v and v/v expressions.
You want to make 100 ml of a 0.5M sorbitol solution. The formula weight of the substance you want to dissolve is 182. How many grams will you measure?
You want to make 10 ml of a 0.01% (w/v) solution of XC. How many grams will you dissolve?
How would you make 100 ml of a solution that is 5% (v/v) acetic acid and 5% methanol?
Part 3: Dilutions
Many solutions are made by diluting concentrated stock solutions. Dilution factors of 1:2, 1:5, 1:10 and 1:100 are common. These dilutions are made by diluting one “part” stock with 1, 4, 9 or 99 “parts” water. For example, you could make 100 ml of a 0.5M sorbitol solution by mixing 10 ml of a 5M stock solution with 90 ml of water. This is a 1:10 dilution of the stock. The dilution factor can be converted to a fraction to determine the solution’s final concentration (5M x 1/10 = 0.5M).
When the dilution factor is less obvious, the formula C1V1 = C2V2 can be used,
where C1 is the starting concentration of the stock solution,
C2 is the desired concentration,
V1 is the volume of stock you’ll need (usually this is your unknown) and
V2 is the final volume you want to make. For example, to make 1000 ml of a 0.2M Tris from a 1.5M stock you would multiply 1.5M (V1) = 0.2M (1000) to find that you will need 133 ml of the stock. To determine how much water to add you would subtract V2 – V1, in this case 1000 ml –133 ml = 867 ml of water.
When solutions must be diluted several orders of magnitude, then serial dilutions are made. The concentrated stock is progressively diluted, for example using a 1:100 dilution as the new “stock” in another 1:100 dilution. Such a serial dilution produces a solution that is 10,000 times less concentrated than the starting material. One benefit to serial dilutions is that small volumes of each dilution can be made accurately. A drawback is that any pipetting or calculation error is propagated through every dilution.
How would you make 50 ml of a 1:5 dilution?
Give the volume of stock and the volume of water necessary to make 50 ml of a 0.25 M solution starting with a 2M solution.
A concentrated culture of bacteria has approximately 1 x 108 cells/ml. What is the concentration of bacteria after it has been diluted 1:100? What is the concentration of bacteria if a 1:2 dilution was made of the 1:100?
For next time
