Editor's note: Camp Cameron was located outside present-day Davis Square. Today marks the 150th anniversary of its opening.
Somerville and Cambridge are cities with long histories. When we think about local history the Civil War is not the first thing that comes to mind.
In this first year of the American Civil Wars’ 150th anniversary, it is important to remember that North Cambridge and West Somerville also have a very important Civil War history. On the Somerville and Cambridge line, in the area of Cameron Avenue, was a camp of rendezvous and instruction called Camp Cameron. From June 13, 1861 through late January 1863, thousands of recruits went through Camp Cameron on their way to the war.
The original belief was that the war would be over very quickly. One battle would end it. When the Union came to realize that the original three-month recruits would not be enough they began enlisting men for up to three years. One of the first three-year regiments was the Massachusetts First Infantry. This regiment was organized at Faneuil Hall in Boston. This location proved too small to house a thousand men and the city environment gave no space for drilling. They quickly moved to an old icehouse on the shores of Fresh Pond in Cambridge, named Camp Ellsworth. The Commonwealth’s optimism for this site quickly waned. Anyone who has tried to run or play golf on the shores of Fresh Pond during rainy New England springs, knows it can be a very wet area. Camp Ellsworth was quickly deemed “unhealthy.”
The solution was a 140-acre parcel of farmland, offered by Gardner Green Hubbard and the Union Horse Railroad, about a mile away. Here is a contemporary description of the camp from Andrew J. Bennett’s history of the Massachusetts First Light Battery:
“This was a Farm extending from the Old Lexington Pike, (now Holland St., Somerville) … south to North Avenue (now Massachusetts Ave) in Cambridge … the southern half of the farm in Cambridge was a plateau of perhaps ten acres, extending back from the Cambridge road, and falling off quite abruptly to a meadow through which ran a little brook, a branch of the Alewife (Tannery Brook). On the Northern border of this plateau, extending with intervals between them, clean across the plain, were barracks. About midway in the range of buildings, and between the two middle barracks in the range a road passed from the Cambridge road, north dividing the plain in two, and crossing the little brook and the sloping field beyond, which was in Somerville, (were) the barracks… Between the barracks and the Cambridge road was the drill ground, and a fine one it was.”
Camp Cameron was leased by the Commonwealth for six months at a time. The “First” moved into Camp Cameron on June 13, 1861 and stayed for all of two days before being ordered to the “seat of the war.” The camp would not be empty for long. The Eleventh Infantry moved in immediately. Over the next twenty months eleven different organizations spent time at “Old Camp Cameron.” These groups included infantry regiments, parts of regiments and artillery batteries.
Camp Cameron had thirty wooden structures. Fifteen of which were troop barracks. Each of these barracks housed a hundred men or one company. They were long and narrow “bowling-alley in proportions, having the entrance at one end, a broad aisle running through the centre, and a double row of bunks, one above the other, on either side.” Recruits came from all over the state and according to new recruit Thomas Kirwin they represented a broader mix of the population than most were used to. The noise, unfamiliar languages, and proximity overwhelmed many.
In the Civil War, training was quick and uneven as very few men had any experience. As soon as a regiment was full, it was sent to the front and another replaced it almost immediately. Camp Cameron often had multiple groups organizing at the same time and was rarely vacant.
At the beginning of the war, the United States had a very small army and most of it was scattered throughout the western territories. Washington would give each state’s Governor a quota of recruits to meet. It was also the governors’ duty to appoint officers. In the summer of 1861, General Butler was sent back to Massachusetts to help recruit troops for a force he would lead in the Gulf. He began to recruit troops in a way that they did not go toward the MA state quota and he began appointing his own officers. A power struggle soon began. Governor Andrew protested to Washington and Butler accused the Governor of treason. That Andrew was a Republican and Butler a Democrat only exacerbated the situation. In any century, this does not lend itself to cooperation. This would not be the last of the friction between the state and the U.S. Army. In June of 1862, Lt. Col. Hannibal Day was appointed the military commander of the Boston area. With this appointment, Camp Cameron passed to federal control and became the main camp in the state for recruiting men as replacements for regiments already in the field. Misunderstandings between Day and Andrews’ office over transportation issues led to more conflict.
The biggest problem at the camp was the practice of bounty jumping. As it became more difficult to find new recruits, the government began paying "enlisting" bounties. Many men made a career of collecting these bounties. One would enlist; collect the bounty and then desert, move on to another town, and do it all over again. In response, Hannibal Day began to push for the closure of the camp soon after taking command. Gardner Green Hubbard, who would later become Alexander Graham Bell’s father in law, offered to help build a fence around the barracks though this offer was never accepted. In late January 1863, the camp was closed and the recruits were moved to Ft. Independence in Boston, a more secure location.
Camp Cameron may not be the first thing that every Somerville or Cambridge resident thinks of when it comes to local history, but it has left its mark on the neighborhood. Camp St. and Cameron Ave. are named after the camp; Fair Oaks St., Seven Pines Ave., Glendale Ave., Malvern Ave., and Yorktown St. are all named after Civil War battles. The camp was crossed by Tannery Brook. The brook was redirected underground in 1896 and is now part of the drainage system. Tannery Brook Row marks part of its path. The Union Horse Railroad owned the camp. It had a depot nearby and ran trolleys down North Ave., now Mass Ave. The MBTA’s trackless trolley still has a station in North Cambridge and continues to run down Mass Ave. to this day.
The camp had one more embarrassing brush with controversy. This problem came from its name. The camp was named after Simon Cameron. He was President Lincoln’s first Secretary of War. Cameron had a history of corruption. The camp was formally renamed Camp Day in August 1862; a name locals used in honor of the Day family who had originally owned most of the farmland the camp occupied. This is the same Day family that Day St. is named after.
What we would now call boot camp is not what most historians or readers would consider a noteworthy part of any war’s history. Without the sacrifice of the thousands of men who went through Camp Cameron/Day and the other camps throughout the north, this country would not have survived the 1860s.

I want to give another nod to Robert Ward's new collection Renegades (published by Tyrus Books), a fistful of lively, candid, un-gussied-up profiles of Reggie Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Robert Mitchum, Lee Marvin, Larry Flynt, and others, written when celebrity journalism still had a lot more hairy nerve than it has now. It's also my way of repaying Ward for taking me to Dan Tana's when I was lonely and shivering in that foreign land known as West Hollywood, when the Marlboro Man sign still loomed tall near Chateau Marmont. Reading Renegades, I realized I had forgotten (perhaps I never knew) that Ward was the reporter who recorded Reggie Jackson's boast "I'm the straw that stirs the drink," a quote that caused a definite diplomatic setback within the knitting circles of the Yankee clubhouse. He also must be one of the few, perhaps the only, interviewer ever offered an oatmeal cookie by Clint Eastwood. "And these oatmeal cookies are out of sight," Clint says, sounding like one of those hippies Dirty Harry Callahan would have given the curled lip to. Even so, Eastwood indisputably belongs in Ward's gallery of Rugged Individualists, as does the roly-poly reprobate Larry Flynt, whose hospitality extends to offering an orgy invitation for Ward:
"You ought to come to one of our orgies. I was going to try and throw one for you, but it being Thanksgiving, I didn't know if we can get many of the girls together. You ought to come out to our big Christmas orgy though."
The big Christmas orgy was one of those fine holiday traditions that never quite made it to the Hallmark cards.
Rugged Individualists didn't come much more rugged or individualist than Robert Mitchum, who in the lion-in-winter phase of his career, promoting his fulcrum role in the epic miniseries The Winds of War, had to put up with a TV interviewer playing mortician with Mitchum's reputation.
"Now Mr. Mitchum, you say this [The Winds of War] is about a group of men, who had one shining moment and then everything else was downhill. Is that how you feel about your own life?"
Mitchum squints menacingly through his sunglasses. "No," he says flatly. "Why would I live like that?"
"Oh," the interviewer says. "Well, Mr. Mitchum, do you think that you will become a cult star, a cult hero if you will, say, in the 1990s, like Bogart in the 1960s?"
Mitchum rolls his eyes and says loudly, "Hey, what year is it now, Jack?"
"Well, how would I know, man?" he says."
"Well, the 1990s are coming."
"That's deep," Mitchum says. "Thanks for telling me."
The 1990s have now been and gone and now we're all in our private spaceships, jetting around the country, but the guts and thorniness displayed in Renegades have mostly departed the scene, leaving behind a much duller, safer playpen.

About the Album
News of the World is the sixth studio album by British rock band, Queen. The album was released October 28 1997, to massive commercial success. The album found critical acclaim as well as commercial acclaim; it is certified 4x Platinum in the United States, 2x Platinum in the United Kingdom, and in achieved many other high certifications worldwide. The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 in the United States in 1977.
Thoughts on the Album
If you haven’t heard this album’s double-A single before, I question whether you have been living under a rock your whole live. In case you haven’t by (some incredible and extreme) chance heard the two songs before, I’ll give you some hints. Both are played at sporting arenas and stadiums worldwide. One they play to pump the crowd up, the other they may play after winning a championship. Give up? The two songs are: We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.
Today’s album, Queen‘s News of the World contains two of the band’s arguably most famous songs in their entire arsenal/repertoire of famous songs. With We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions you get to songs that are clear cut anthems. Not just any anthems, but arena anthems. Songs you will sing along to and remember forever after first listen. But before talking about those two songs, let’s discuss highlights of the rest of the album first.
Following the anthemic We Are the Champions, is the ferocious track, Sheer Heart Attack. At time when punk rock began to develop into full effect, it was a jab at it. The song is frenzied, punk rock influenced attack, backed by Roger Taylors fierce drumming and aggressive main riff. All Dead, All Dead is a heartfelt ballad; a respite from the opening three songs which were one big adrenaline rush. The song is opened by some beautiful piano by Brian May. All Dead, All Dead is about the death of… Brian May’s cat. No I’m not making this up. What an odd choice.
If Sheer Heart Attack was merely a jab, then what does that make Fight from the Inside? Featuring a catchy and testosterone-filled bluesy riff from Brian May anchored by a relentless rhythm that charges. Roger Taylor takes the lead on vocals here, scornful and blunt towards the same punks in Sheer Heart Attack.
Now for the double A-side singles, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions. The song is simple in concept and premise: stomping and clapping. It’s the most famous beat ever: “stomp, stomp, clap, pause”. With it’s quintessential rebellious chorus, stomping and clapping verse, and lone Brian May guitar solo that builds up from the stomping and clapping, it’s one of the most primal and raw rock anthems ever written (in my opinion). It’s an infectiously catchy and dominant song.
If We Will Rock You is opener, then We Are the Champions is the main event and closer. Popular culture has fused We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions together. It’s a power ballad, that starts with some light piano and builds before giving way and exploding into the now, world famous chorus of…
We are the champions, my friends, and we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers, cause we are the champions, of the world…
I can’t ever imagine listening to We Are the Champions without hearing We Will Rock You come before it. (Thanks pop culture!)
Come for We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions stay for everything else. News of the World has everything a typical Queen album needs: excellent vocals from frontman Freddie Mercury, great guitar work from Brian May, excellent drumming from Roger Taylor, and great bass lines from John Deacon. This album will rock you and leave you singing “we are the champions!” have listening.

THE mean sea level recorded at Fiji’s tidal gauge shows an average rise of 4.6mm per year since 1993. That means sea levels would have risen an average 110 centimetres – about knee height of an adult – by 2017. At Vunidogoloa Village in Fiji’s Northern Division, Sailosi Ramatu points to the waters of Natewa Bay.
“That’s where the beach was when I was a kid,” he said, pointing the stump of a coconut tree, barely visible above the rising tide.“It’s about 100 metres away from where the shore is so in 40 years we’ve lost about 100 metres of beach front or 2.5 metres a year.” According to current estimates, a possible 45 villages in Fiji face a similar fate from the waves, coastal erosion and salt water intrusion.
Churches, which continue to wield influence over indigenous Fijian communities, have a powerful role to play in convincing villagers on the need to move to higher ground. Pacific Conference of Churches General Secretary, Reverend Francois Pihaatae, recognises the powerful role the church must play not only in Fiji but across the region.

September 11th 2001 has already gone down in history as a day that shocked much of the world. Much has been written and said about the events of that day and the days that followed. It seems perhaps futile to write anything more about what Americans now call “9|11.”
In the days that followed those horrific acts of terrorism I chose not to write anything about what had happened. Like so many people I was lost for words to express my horror and sadness. I felt that anything I wrote would simply come out as words bathed in emotion and an anger at an unseen enemy.
A year later and I am still not sure that anything I write on the subject would be worth reading. I wasn’t there, I didn’t know anyone there, I knew no-one personally affected. So my connection is distant to say the least.
I feel like I don’t have the right to feel grief and sadness over what happened in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. I don’t want to be seen as one of those people who becomes dramatically inconsolable when someone they hardly knew dies. Most of what I felt and still feel about what happened has been hidden away, so that people don’t think that I am somehow trying to gain attention from someone’s else’s tragedy. Perhaps this is how most of the ‘unaffected’ were affected.
For weeks after September 11th 2001 I had terrible nightmares involving hijacked planes and buildings. I often woke up in the middle of the night and simply failed to settle again. I would hear a jet go over head and do what I think many did in the immediate aftermath, look to see where it was and what it was doing. I live in the flight path of Liverpool airport and… [Click here to continue reading this article at ‘Meanwhile’]

Jets put Crowell on IR...Beckham out again...Bill Fralic, Joan Steinbrenner die
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets have placed running back Isaiah Crowell on season-ending injured reserve with a toe injury. Crowell didn’t practice all week and had already been ruled out for the Jets’ game against Houston tomorrow. Crowell has a team-leading 685 yards rushing and six touchdowns. He has never missed a game during his five-year NFL career.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants say Odell Beckham Jr. will miss his second straight game with a quad injury. The NFL’s highest-paid receiver won’t play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Beckham was hurt on the final play of the Giants’ loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia on Nov. 25. He played against Chicago the following week, but missed last week’s game against Washington and didn’t practice the past two days after being limited on Wednesday.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Former star Atlanta Falcons lineman Bill Fralic has died at 56. He was a three-time All-American offensive lineman at Pittsburgh. The university said he had cancer and died at his home in suburban Atlanta. Fralic was the second overall pick in the 1985 draft and spent nine seasons in the league. He was named to the Pro Bowl four times and earned All-Pro honors in 1986 and 1987. The NFL named him to its All-Decade Team for the 1980s. His last season was 1993 with the Detroit Lions.
NEW YORK (AP) — The wife of late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has died. Joan (joh-AN’) Steinbrenner, who held the title of Yankees vice chair, was 83. The team says she died today surrounded by family at her home in Tampa, Florida. A private family service will be held.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees and the Red Sox will open Major League Baseball’s first series in Britain with a night game and conclude the next day in the afternoon. The June 29 game at London’s Olympic Stadium will be broadcast in the United States by Fox as part of its Saturday “Game of the Week” coverage. The following day’s game will be a “Sunday Morning Baseball” special event for ESPN. Boston is the home team in both games.


Matrix® AP Harmonic Filters provided the optimum solution for reciprocating pump operators in the Bakken oil fields.
Oil reciprocating pumps rely on a large counterweight to offset the weight of the pump rod which can be several hundred feet long. This produces a motor and drive load profile that is cyclical with a frequency from 2 to 5 cycles per minute. During one of these cycles, the load can vary from 0% to 100% or more for short bursts, with an average load of about 40% to 60% during the loaded portion of the cycle. In the oil fields, these reciprocating pumps are the main load on the power grid and sometimes can be the only load for many square miles. The cumulative effect of perhaps hundreds of these types of loads on the power grid results in higher background harmonic voltage distortion for the entire grid in that region.
Conventional harmonic filters are designed to perform between 80% and 100% load.
In the oil fields, the cumulative effect of lightly loaded drives and filters results in background voltage distortion of 10% or more.
The power grids that feed these reciprocating pumps cannot support the additive harmonic distortion created resulting in nuisance tripping, overheating of
transformers, and overall system downtime.
MTE worked closely with a large energy company to test the Matrix AP Harmonic Filter against a competitor’s filter on several well sites.
The Matrix AP Filter with its patent pending adaptive passive technology, provides superior harmonic reduction over a very wide operating load range, achieving less
than 5% total harmonic current distortion THID at 45% load.
With the Matrix AP Harmonic Filter, the overall voltage distortion was reduced by as much as 50% compared to the competition.
MTE’s Matrix AP Harmonic Filter proved to be the best solution for keeping low level harmonic distortion from accumulating on the power grid.
Current distortion was 15% to 30% lower with the Matrix AP Filter. Voltage distortion at the utility transformer was lower as well.
MTE’s Matrix AP Harmonic Filter, with its patent pending adaptive passive technology, together with 6-pulse drives, out-performed the competition.
The solution ensured that the energy company minimized harmonic distortion to the grid and stayed in production, thus maximizing revenue.
Matrix AP Harmonic Filter vs. Competition THID [%]
The Matrix AP Harmonic Filter, with MTE’s innovative adaptive passive technology, is the most advanced harmonic filter that provides improved power factor and energy efficiency. Using the patent pending adaptive passive technology, the filter adapts to various loads while providing optimized THID performance. It guarantees a THID performance of 8% MAX at 30% load and 5% MAX at full load and helps meet IEEE-519 requirements.
Matrix AP Benefits
- Adaptive passive technology offers best-in-class harmonic reduction in virtually all applications
- Efficient performance delivers lower heat generation and helps keep the entire electrical system running smoother and longer
- Simplified wiring for quick, easy installation and serviceability
- Modular design allows flexibility in system integration
- Robust product design is backed by a three-year warranty

MONACO ONE SHUTTLE: THE BAPTISM
The Monaco One shuttle which will link the principality to the new port of Cala del forte in Ventimiglia was baptized in the presence of Prince Albert II, accompanied by members of the princely family and his government.
The ceremony consisted of a blessing from the Archbishop of Monaco, Monsignor Dominique-Marie David, as well as the traditional bottle throwing performed by the godmother of Monaco One, Camille Gottlieb, daughter of Princess Stéphanie and president of the association Be Safe Monaco.
For now, this shuttle, which will link Monaco to Ventimiglia in just 10 minutes flat, will be reserved for the staff and owners of the boats that will anchor in the port of Cala del forte. But, questioned following the ceremony, Prince Albert does not rule out the creation of a new shuttle that will be able to transport the general public.

Oakland Raiders at New York Jets: How to watch Week 12
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders head East to take on the New York Jets in Week 12, and here is how you can catch all of the action on Sunday.
No stranger to the road, the Oakland Raiders will once again travel across country, heading East to take on the New York Jets inside Metlife Stadium. The Raiders won all three games during their current homestand, beating the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, and Cincinnati Bengals to move their record to 6-4 on the season.
The Jets got off to a 1-7 start to the 2019 campaign, but have come on strong in recent weeks, beating the New York Giants at home, and then the Washington Redskins on the road. New York is getting great play from second-year quarterback Sam Darnold, who shredded the Redskins secondary on Sunday, and will look to help the Jets continue their winning ways in Week 12.
Oakland counters with a quarterback playing at an elite level as well, as Derek Carr is completing over 70 percent of his passes, and was nearly perfect in the team’s 17-10 victory over Cincinnati in Week 11. Carr has only three interceptions since Week 2, and will need to continue his strong play against a Jets defense that has played out of its mind in recent weeks.
Overall, these are two teams that are playing well right now, which should make for an interesting game on Sunday.
Here is how to watch all the action
Date: Sunday, November 24, 2019
Time: 10:00 am. PT, 1:00 pm ET
Location: East Rutherford, New Jersey
Venue: MetLife Stadium
TV Info: CBS, NFL Sunday Ticket
Live Stream: NFL Sunday Ticket App or Fubo TV
Oakland has a monster game against Kansas City looming after the Jets game, but this is not a team that is going to overlook anybody. Rookie running back Josh Jacobs has a tall order in front of him on Sunday, facing the top-ranked run defense in the league, but he is a special back, and should find his opportunities in this one.
The Raiders young defense was in full force in Week 11, as Maxx Crosby got to the quarterback four times, and Trayvon Mullen had the game-sealing interception. It will have to be all hands on deck once again this weekend, because if the Raiders take the Jets likely, they have enough talent to pull off the upset.

FAIRBANKS — The president of the Fairbanks school board is hopeful that legislators will block the deep cuts to public education proposed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy.
The Board of Education holds its first work session Monday to discuss the proposed 2019-20 school district budget.
Board President Wendy Dominique, who was in Juneau over the weekend talking with state legislators about education funding, said she wants to hold back on planning for cuts until the legislative session progresses.
“There is no sense in saying, ‘We have to cut this. We have to cut that,’ and putting people on edge,” she said. “I just think it’s early and things are going to change dramatically.”
The school board’s adopted budget is due to the Fairbanks North Star Borough by April 1.
The superintendent has proposed a “status quo” education budget of about $243 million, which depends on flat funding of about $130 million from the state.
On Wednesday, Dunleavy proposed cutting state support to public education across the state by 24.3 percent. That translates to an estimated $30 million cut to Fairbanks area schools.
It’s the deepest cut any education leader contacted by the News-Miner can remember.
Tim Doran, a retired elementary school principal now on the school board, said he hasn’t seen a cut this severe in his 43 years in Alaska.
Doran was also in Juneau last weekend and shares Dominique’s faith that legislators will protect education. He said in a text message that he is confident lawmakers will “follow through on their commitment to education.”
Superintendent Karen Gaborik said in a prepared statement that school officials hope legislators will support schools.
“It’s in the legislators’ hands now and we hope they will stand up for the kids in our school districts,” she said. “We are hopeful that the Interior delegation and the legislators around the state recognize the value of public education.”
Gaborik is in California at the annual conference of the School Superintendents Association, said district spokeswoman Sharice Walker.
Last year, the school district faced about $8 million in cuts and made plans to eliminate about 50 jobs including teachers, custodians, librarian assistants, after-school activities coordinators, psychologists, physical therapists and occupational therapists. There was public outcry, and the cuts were reversed.
School board member Allyson Lambert said she finds the prospect of cutting $30 million “frightening.”
“I knew the governor was going to do some cuts. I did not fathom the extent,” she said.
Dunleavy’s proposal is likely to color the discussion at Monday’s work session, Lambert said.
A budget forum via Facebook Live is planned for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. The superintendent will be joined by Chief Operating Officer Andy DeGraw to answer questions online.

The Torrance County commission changed the zoning for KXNM Radio station’s zoning last week in an uneventful meeting; meanwhile, allegations by a former commissioner were formally answered by the county.
A letter was drafted by the law firm Wallin & Huss Associates, which represents Torrance County, and sent to the Attorney General’s office, responding to former commissioner Lonnie Freyburger’s allegations that the county had violated the state’s Open Meetings Act.
The county’s response details its reasons for disagreeing with that position.
Freyburger had said that a Jan. 19 meeting this year had not been properly noticed to the public. “Mr. Freyburger’s complaint fails from both a legal and a factual standpoint,” the attorneys’ letter says.
The letter says that the meeting information had been made public, providing a copy of the “email chain” describing the process. “Second, Mr. Freyburger’s assertion that the notice was not provided to anyone other than the Commissioners is inaccurate,” the letter goes on. “I am attaching the email from the County to the list of people who have requested notice of public meetings; … The agenda of the meeting was attached to that email. Ironically, the notice was sent to Mr. Freyburger himself.”
Another claim by Freyburger to the AG’s office said that two meetings in March to name the county’s choice to replace Sen. Phil Griego were illegally held.
Griego had resigned suddenly just before the end of the legislative session under ethical questions about a real estate deal. Gov. Susana Martinez sent letters to the affected counties requesting that they hold emergency meetings and name their choices by March 15; Torrance County did so, later holding a second meeting March 18 and voting again.
At the March 14 meeting, and in the letter to the AG’s office, the county’s attorney said that the lack of representation at the legislative session was an “unforeseen circumstance” that would “likely result in substantial financial loss to the county,” advising the commission that it was on solid legal ground with the meeting.
The letter said the March 18 meeting was held as “a precautionary measure.” Notice of that meeting was sent out March 15. “Here, the Commission believed the Governor was correct and the absence of representation for the remainder of the legislative session constituted an emergency under the Act,” the letter says. “The follow-up meeting ratified the decision in an abundance of caution based on citizen requests.”
Freyburger’s third complaint said that because fellow commissioners had been at a meeting together. If a quorum of a public body like the county commission is present, that can constitute a public meeting under the Open Meetings Act. Torrance County’s attorneys said that because the two commissioners were not seated together and did not discuss county business there was no violation.
In other business, a zoning request by KXNM Radio was granted, changing two different zones into D-2, or major development. Previously the property was zoned in two different parcels, one AP-5 for “agricultural preservation,” and the other piece D-2, or “minor development.”
Several people in the audience spoke in favor of the zone change, with none speaking against it. The radio station’s office is next door to Torrance County dispatch and animal control services in McIntosh.
The vote to change the zoning was unanimous, with LeRoy Candelaria moving to approve the zone change, seconded by Jim Frost.

National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and
Skin Diseases (NIAMS)
Overview of NIAMS Rare Diseases in Children Research Activities, FY 2000FY 2005
The mission of NIAMS is to support basic and clinical research into the causes, treatment, and prevention
of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases, the training of scientists to carry out this research, and the dissemination of information on research results in these diseases. Some of these diseases are rare and
occur in children. Included in this group are rheumatic conditions such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and
familial fever syndromes, muscle diseases such as Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, musculoskeletal disorders such as osteogenesis imperfecta, and skin diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa, ichthyosis, and pseudoxanthoma elasticum. NIAMS-sponsored research has advanced understanding of these diseases, and several initiatives are under way. Other initiatives are being planned.
Recent Scientific Advances in Rare Diseases in Children Research
The conditions discussed below are under investigation by more than one investigator with support from
NIAMS. All of these projects were funded in FY 2000. These conditions are in areas within the mission of
NIAMS, and the Institute will be interested in funding future research in these areas.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
Etanercept has been shown to be a safe and effective drug in the treatment of children and teenagers with
JRA, a type of arthritis that causes joint inflammation and stiffness for more than 6 weeks and begins when
the child is 16 years of age or younger. In a clinical trial coordinated by the NIAMS Multipurpose Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases Center at the Children's Hospital Medical Center of Cincinnati, investigators in the Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group injected 69 children with etanercept
twice a week. At the end of three months, all measures of arthritis impact (symptoms, joint abnormalities, ability to perform daily functions, and laboratory tests) were dramatically improved. Furthermore, the drug
The success of this clinical trial marks the culmination of many years of basic research supported by
NIAMS and other NIH components. Etanercept belongs to a new class of drug treatments called biologic
agents, which are designed to interfere with the specific biological process of a disease. The drug acts as a
sponge to absorb a tumor necrosis factor, which is a naturally occurring protein that causes inflammation.
Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
DMD is a genetic muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in the gene for the protein dystrophin.
NIAMS-funded scientists recently reported a number of exciting advances in mouse models of DMD.
These include the successful application of the common antibiotic gentamicin to restore the function of the
dystrophin protein, and the successful use of gene replacement to restore the missing protein and thereby reduce muscle disease. Such animal studies hold promise for potential future therapies for human patients
affected by DMD.
Osteoporosis and Children
Osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease that can lead to fractures, may actually start in childhood. Research
studies on young girls have revealed that minor variations in a gene for the bone protein collagen can lead
to lower bone density. In one investigation, more than 100 prepubertal girls were measured for bone mineral density. Also assessed were the bone size and genetic makeup of the collagen gene in each girl.
The researchers found that girls with a particular type of collagen gene variant had almost 50% lower bone
mineral density than girls with a different collagen gene variant. Identifying and understanding genetic susceptibility to osteoporosis early in life may facilitate the targeting of interventions to those who will most profit from them.
Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE)
PXE is an inherited disorder characterized by progressive calcification of elastic fibers in the skin, eye, and
cardiovascular system. Scientists studying PXE have identified the gene that causes this disease. The researchers took a population genetics approach to narrow the location of the gene to a portion of human chromosome 16, and one gene in this region
(MRP6) was later determined to be the gene associated with the disease. Work is continuing to determine the function of the gene and how mutations in it result in clinical disease. This could lead to the design of therapeutic interventions to treat PXE.
Ongoing, New, and Planned Research Initiatives in Rare Diseases in Children
This Institute's report notes several RFAs issued in 2001. The results and advances these RFAs may
produce is yet to be determined. At this point, NIAMS has no commitments for FY 2002 - FY 2005 on rare
diseases and conditions in children.
Opening of NIH Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic
The NIAMS Intramural Research Program launched an initiative in the fall of 2000 at the NIH research
hospital, the new NIH Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic. The Clinic offers diagnosis, evaluation, and treatments for children with rheumatic diseases. In addition to JRA and familial fever syndromes, pediatric
rheumatic diseases include lupus, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis. The Clinic is providing children with
a place where they can be diagnosed and treated in a state-of-the-art facility, and researchers can learn more about rare rheumatic diseases in children.
In February 2001, NIAMS convened a roundtable meeting to consider current and future research needs
and opportunities in pediatric rheumatology. NIAMS staff will be developing initiatives based on the recommendations of the medical experts who attended the meeting.
New Research Centers for Juvenile Rheumatic Diseases
In FY 2001, a Rheumatic Diseases Core Center was established at the Children's Hospital Medical Center
in Cincinnati. The Center will concentrate on understanding the causes of and finding novel approaches to
treating pediatric rheumatic diseases. The Center will comprise five cores:
- A repository to make tissues available to researchers.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor disease progression.
- Identification of cells involved in rheumatic diseases.
- Data processing and bioinformatics.
- Administrative support to coordinate projects.
Two pilot studies will be undertaken by the Center. The first will examine the relationship between a
protein produced in response to inflammation and activation of the inner cells of blood vessels in the
synovium (a lubricating tissue surrounding movable joints) of children with JRA. The second will study
the effect of certain enzyme inhibitors on the production of antibodies against a child's own tissues in lupus
nephritis, a kidney disease.
The Children's Hospital in Cincinnati is also the site of a Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Center,
which was established in FY 2001. Projects to be conducted by this new Center include research on
childhood-onset dermatomyositis (a rare, sometimes fatal disease in which the muscles and skin become
inflamed), juvenile fibromyalgia (a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and
fatigue), quantitative MRI to assess JRA, and the relationship between genetic factors and responses to drugs.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
NIAMS has a long-standing interest in OI, a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily,
often for little or no apparent cause. NIAMS recently funded five new grants in OI supporting research
activities ranging from cutting-edge gene and cell therapies to testing drug treatments in mouse models.
Furthermore, along with several other Institutes, NIAMS is sponsoring an RFA entitled, "New Research
Strategies in OI," which was issued in December 2000. NIAMS is also participating in an RFA on "Clinical Trial Planning Grants for Pediatric Rehabilitation." This RFA was issued in November 2000 and
focuses on pediatric musculoskeletal conditions, burn wounds, and genetic skin disorders.
Hereditary Multiple Exostoses
Hereditary multiple exostoses is a skeletal disorder that primarily affects bone growth in children. Patients
with this disease present with benign cartilage-capped exostoses (growths projected outward from the surface of a bone), usually originating in the growth plate, and typically have short stature and curved bones. A significant proportion of the patients will develop malignant chondrosarcoma, a cancer originating from cartilage cells. Even in the absence of malignancy, the disease can be debilitating when the exostoses compress soft tissues such as surrounding muscles or nerves. The only known treatment is surgical removal of the exostoses, which often grow back at the original site. NIAMS is planning to support a two-day meeting on multiple hereditary exostoses at the University of Arizona in Tucson in November 2001.
Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
In May 2000, NIAMS partnered with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
and the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) to sponsor a scientific workshop on Therapeutic Approaches for DMD. The meeting provided an opportunity for DMD investigators to share new findings, identify gaps in
current research, and recommend future directions for promising studies of this disease. The insights from
this conference are being used to develop new NIH research solicitations in DMD and other muscular dystrophies. These initiatives will build on projects funded through the
currently active FY 1999 program announcement on "Pathogenesis and Therapy of the Muscular
Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
NIAMS has a number of initiatives under way in the area of FSHD, a genetic disease of the skeletal muscle
that leads to progressive weakening of the muscles of the face, shoulders, and upper arms. Several projects
with potential implications for FSHD have been funded as a result of the above-mentioned FY 1999 Program Announcement (PA) on pathogenesis and therapy, including grants focused on developing safe and effective methods to perform gene therapy on skeletal muscle.
Last spring, together with NINDS, ORD, the FSH Society, Inc., and the Muscular Dystrophy Association
of America, NIAMS co-sponsored a scientific conference on the "Cause and Treatment of FSHD." Researchers from the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, and Asia met to share their latest findings and identify directions for future investigations. The recommendations that emerged from the conference include efforts to enhance understanding of the molecular processes and tissue changes associated with FSHD, ways to explore possible therapies to treat the disorder, strategies to promote the
establishment of population-based studies of the disease, and development of research resources.
Implementation of these recommendations has begun with the issuance of a November 2000 RFA entitled,
"Exploratory Research on Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy."
To develop research resources for FSHD, NIAMS has joined with NINDS to fund a registry on FSHD and
another form of muscular dystrophy known as myotonic dystrophy (DM). The long-term goal of the registry is to facilitate research in FSHD and DM by serving as a liaison between families affected by these
diseases who are eager to participate in specific research projects and investigators interested in studying these disorders. The registry will recruit and classify patients, and store medical and family history data for individuals with clinically diagnosed FSHD and DM. Scientists will be provided with statistical analyses of the registry data, as well as access to registry members who have agreed to assist with particular research studies.
Muscular Dystrophy (all forms)
To stimulate further research on all forms of muscular dystrophy (inherited
disorders in which there is progressive degeneration of muscle
fibers), NIAMS issued a program announcement with set-aside
funds, "Therapeutic and Pathogenic Approaches for the Muscular
Dystrophies," in January 200l. Responses to the announcement
may include studies in appropriate animal models or preclinical
or clinical studies in patients with DMD, Becker muscular
dystrophy, FSHD, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, DM, congenital
muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, or
other forms of muscular dystrophy.

A writer is a person who uses written words in various styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce various forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays, and essays as well as various utilitarian forms such as reports and news articles. Writers' texts are published across a range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society. The word is also used elsewhere in the arts – such as songwriter – but as a standalone term, "writer" normally refers to the creation of written language. Some writers work from an oral tradition.
Writers can produce material across a number of genres, fictional or non-fictional. Other writers use multiple media – for example, graphics or illustration – to enhance the communication of their ideas. Another recent demand has been created by civil and government readers for the work of non-fictional technical writers, whose skills create understandable, interpretive documents of a practical or scientific nature. Some writers may use images (drawing, painting, graphics) or multimedia to augment their writing. In rare instances, creative writers are able to communicate their ideas via music as well as words.
Writer is the debut album by Carole King and was released in 1970. King already had a successful career as a songwriter, and been a part of The City, a short-lived group she formed after moving to Los Angeles in 1968. Tracks on the album include "Up on the Roof" which was a number 4 hit for the Drifters in 1962, and "Child of Mine", which has been recorded by Billy Joe Royal, among others. The album did not receive much attention upon its release, though it entered the chart following the success of King's next album, Tapestry, in 1971.
Reviewers rate it positively if not as highly as Tapestry, one noting that it was the "most underrated of all [her] original albums". And, in a review that also covered Tapestry in Rolling Stone, Jon Landau wrote, "Writer was a blessing despite its faults" and that though the "production was poor", King herself made the album "very worthwhile".
All songs written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King; lyrics for "Raspberry Jam" and "What Have You Got to Lose" by Toni Stern.

There are already some latest changes to be able to Michigan’s Resilient Power regarding Attorney Legislation and these kinds of changes have an effect on such legitimate instruments developed after March 1, 2012.
Initial, I can define that of a “Durable Strength of Attorney” is at Michigan. A “Power regarding Attorney” can be a legal instrument where you, the creator with the document, designate another individual to help make financial decisions to suit your needs and normally act in your stead. The creator with the document is named the “principal” as well as the person designated to behave is known as the “agent” or perhaps “attorney-in-fact. ” The principal reason one could make a this kind of document is always to designate an individual you trust to produce financial decisions to suit your needs if you then become incapacitated.
Making a Durable Strength of Attorney can be a legal substitute for a probate court docket conservatorship. In the conservatorship, a probate court docket judge must determine with a hearing that you will be incapacitated or struggling to manage your premises and then a judge must appoint you to definitely make these kinds of decisions to suit your needs (the particular conservator). In place of that probably embarrassing, prolonged, and pricey process, the legislation also provides you could designate an individual you trust to produce such decisions to suit your needs in creating, which could be the power regarding attorney tool itself. The conservatorship proceeding is made for people that failed to plan ahead and need you to definitely make decisions for the kids or deal with their funds. Such any need can happen after a major accident or when someone provides dementia or even a similar problem.
The specialist provided for the agent may be broad, such concerning make virtually any financial decision that one could make, or perhaps narrow, for instance to merely handle an actual estate final.
In Mich, a strength of legal professional is “durable” when it plainly indicates your agent continues to offer the power to behave if you then become disabled.
Listed below are the adjustments to Michigan’s legislation:
First, the up to date law contains new duties for your attorney in reality, including these:
- They need to take steps to check out the principal’s guidelines and maintain the principal informed of these actions.
a couple of. They need to maintain records of these actions, including receipts as well as other financial assertions.
- They need to provide a great accounting for the principal after request.
Next, the up to date law restrictions the legal professional in fact’s authority to generate an consideration or some other asset inside joint tenancy involving the principal and also attorney in reality. Also, they can not make gifts with the principal’s resources. However, they can cause such balances and help make such items if these kinds of powers are usually explicitly within the P. A. A. files. The power to make these kinds of gifts or perhaps transfers is very important for folks whose estate could be large enough being subject for the estate duty and inside long-term attention planning scenarios.
Third, the fresh law provides the attorney in reality must act relative to the specifications of attention that connect with fiduciaries any time acting for the principal beneath the document. This implies they need to act moderately, must help make informed selections, and need to make decision inside the best interest with the principal.
Ultimately, the fresh law provides which they must signal a composed acknowledgment regarding duties just before acting beneath the document.

News Roundup: Planned Parenthood, Piñatas, & Pink Bikinis
City Council goes long
By the News Staff,
8:30AM, Mon. Oct. 19, 2015
In this week's News Roundup, Austin stands with Planned Parenthood, even though Texas doesn't; CM Don Zimmerman displays his usual courtesy and compassion; not everyone welcomes a cat cafe; and more.
• Take a Deep Breath: Last Thursday’s City Council session (Oct. 15) was a marathon, adjourning just before 2am Friday. It was also productive: Council members moved forward on more utility-scale solar power for Austin Energy, approved a $300 million expansion for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and endorsed federal and state lobbying efforts on behalf of Planned Parenthood and for “expanding funding of women's access to a full spectrum of health services.” They tentatively revised the regs governing “accessory dwelling units” (aka “granny flats”), and began the process of revising the development “density bonus program,” intending to require more “on-site” affordable housing in preference to “fee-in-lieu” bonus payments from developers seeking additional entitlements. Council proposed additional regulations on short-term rentals, including the possibility that “Type 2s” (non-owner-occupied STRs) would be phased out of residential areas altogether. Finally (not really), they initiated potential code amendments that would require defined fees from “transportation networking companies” (ride-for-hire firms like Uber and Lyft), and would also require background and fingerprint checks akin to those currently required of taxi drivers. (The proposed new rules on ADUs, density bonuses, STRs, and TNCs will all need to return for further review.) – Michael King
• Health Care Wins: There were a handful of lowlights at the Council meeting as well, including witnesses opposing the resolution supporting Planned Parenthood, who accused the Council of endorsing unethical or immoral practices, and insisted that the organization engages in the killing of “unborn children.” Others testified to the indispensability of Planned Parenthood’s reproductive health care services, including (on the dais) District 2 Council Member Delia Garza (who sponsored the resolution) and D3 CM Sabino Renteria, who said his daughter had been served by the organization when she had no other affordable recourse. The resolution was endorsed 9-2, with only D6 CM Don Zimmerman and D8 CM Ellen Troxclair opposing – Zimmerman said he resented that city health insurance does not cover his wife’s need for fertility treatments (if she wished, she could get fertility counseling at Planned Parenthood), and Troxclair insisted that there are sufficient other clinics in Texas to care for all patients – despite persistent legislative cuts to women’s health care over the last several sessions. – M.K.
• Aesthetic Cooties? Council’s noon Citizens Communications is known for both the earnest and the outlandish. Last week it also caused a bit of heartburn for D6 CM Don Zimmerman. Filmmaker Spencer Nutting, who is making a documentary about Austin’s late, lamented Leslie Cochran, turned up to promote his film and a proposed Downtown statue of Leslie, and to ask Council for a permit and fee waivers for an Oct. 30 fundraising event. Nutting brought a small maquette of the proposed bronze statue by sculptor Bob Coffee; it features Leslie in a classic pose, sitting on a bench in a pink bikini. Nutting handed it up to Council members to pass along the dais, but it didn’t get far – stopping dead at Zimmerman, who first accepted it from his neighboring colleague (D1 CM Ora Houston) and then recoiled in revulsion. “I’m not handling that,” Zimmerman said, as though the statuette carried some sort of contagion. Zimmerman quickly returned it to Nutting, who displayed it to the rest of the dais. For a man who likes to feature his own dapper style, complete with ever-present Panama hat, you’d think Zimmerman might recognize in Leslie a kindred soul – although one more permanently akin to the Weird Spirit of Austin. – M.K.
• Cats v. Piñatas: This Saturday, Oct. 17, marked the grand opening of the Blue Cat Cafe, a place where people can live out the dream (or nightmare, depending on your perspective) of eating vegan food while surrounded by adoptable cats. As the cafe opened for business, however, protesters were outside, decrying the fact that the cafe is using the former site of the Jumpolin piñata store as a parking lot. Jumpolin and its contents were demolished by the building's owner (who also owns the cat cafe's building) earlier this year, and has since become a symbol of the ill effects of gentrification. Although an injunction was supposed to prevent the land from being cleared until a suit filed by Jumpolin's owners against their former landlords is resolved, a judge ruled recently that the injunction could not be enforced against the site being used as a parking lot. For more see "No Contempt in Jumpolin Hearing," Oct. 16. – Amy Kamp
• Oops! A War Crime: Despite persistent but contradictory statements from official U.S. sources that the disastrous Oct. 3 U.S. bombing of a Doctors Without Borders (Medicins Sans Frontiers, or MSF) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan was an accident or a “mistake,” leaders of the international medical charity say they do not believe the official story and continue to demand an independent investigation. In an Associated Press interview by Najim Rahim and Lynne O’Donnell that was published Sunday, Oct. 18, MSF General Director Christopher Stokes said the hospital was the target of “extensive, quite precise destruction” that suggests it was intentionally targeted. At least 22 patients and staff were killed in the bombing, for which President Barack Obama has apologized to the MSF and which U.S./NATO Commander John Campbell has described as a “mistake” by either Afghan or U.S. forces or both. MSF officials said the hospital was targeted by a U.S. AC-130 gunship, which within an hour made five separate strafing runs over the compound. Stokes again called for an independent investigation by the Swiss-based International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission, which would require cooperation from both the U.S. and Afghanistan, unlikely to be forthcoming. – M.K.


Clay Risen analyzed the effectiveness of a parliamentary system using the German example in his article “German Lessons”. He considers how some Americans fantasize over the German system because their many parties allow for greater representation and they must work together in coalitions. For years Germany had three major parties: the CDU, the SPD, and the FDP. As people got frustrated with their parties, they left and created new parties. Germany now has six major parties, which is troublesome because when it comes to grand-scale decision making, each party is based on specific personal preferences, and therefore cannot make decisions about such important issues. Risen argues America’s two-party system is better because each party covers a broad spectrum of ideals, making it more efficient in decision making. (1)
An article published by the Jerusalem Post talks about how in Germany the police attempted to ban an alt-right group from marching on the anniversary of the Kristallnacht. The far-right group blames all the Muslims in Germany for violence inflicted upon Jews. Chancellor Merkel allowed for a great number of Muslim migrants in 2015, which led to the creation of a new political party in Germany; the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party argues that Islam does not coincide with the constitution of Germany. (2)
Is a multiparty, parliamentary system of government less effective at decision making than a two-party, presidential system?
There is no definite answer to this question. A lower number of parties causes each party to be responsible to have a certain stand on a variety of issues. As seen in the U.S., though, this can create a stalemate in Congress as each party does not want or does not know how to cooperate and compromise with the other party. A parliamentary system allows for this cooperation, but the parties comprising the coalition governments might not have a firm stance or be able to make a difference on certain issues.

UK floats war crimes tribunal for Russian leaders and soldiers
“We are very clear that Putin and all of those who’ve been behind the appalling war crimes that are being committed in Ukraine need to be held to account, and we’re working very closely with the International Criminal Court,” she said.
According to her, the United Kingdom has sent representatives to Ukraine to help collect evidence, from witness statements to video.
“I’ve talked to the Ukrainian government about this idea of the tribunal,” she explained.
“We are open to the idea of a tribunal, we are currently considering it, but what we want is the most effective way of prosecuting those people who have committed these appalling war crimes including rape, sexual violence, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians.”

A 100-year-old Sebastopol man who died from injuries he suffered in a fire Monday at his family’s rural home was a World War II and Korean war veteran who learned criminal investigation in the Army and rose to director of the U.S. Army Crime Laboratories, then of a regional U.S. Postal Service crime lab.
Satoru C. “John” Shimoda was an internationally recognized expert in the field of questioned document examination. The forensics specialty involves lab testing to determine if a letter or other document is forged or contains, in the penmanship, ink, typewriter key strikes, fingerprints or other elements, any evidence that a crime was committed or that could be helpful to a criminal investigation.
In one of his most infamous cases, the handwriting expert examined letters ostensibly written by the Zodiac serial killer who terrorized the Bay Area and other parts of the state in the 1960s and ‘70s.
When the diligent, unassuming combat veteran retired from the postal service’s western region crime lab in San Bruno in 1999 — at age 80 — he was reported to be the oldest and longest-tenured employee of the U.S. Postal Service.
“He was a pretty amazing individual.”
He and his wife of 68 years, Hiroko “Betty” Shimoda, lived in Corte Madera for 46 years before moving to Sebastopol in 2013 to share the home of one of their two daughters and her family. Betty Shimoda died in March of 2017 at age 89.
Sonoma County authorities say that on Monday afternoon John Shimoda, who lost a leg to combat in Korea, was sitting in the garage of his family’s home on Mill Station Road. Somehow flames were ignited and he sustained critical burns.
Shimoda died early Tuesday morning at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
The fire call was especially heartbreaking for members of the Graton Fire Department. Its firefighters were friends of Shimoda and his family, and just last August had him to the firehouse on Gravenstein Highway North for birthday dinner, with cake.
“We’d been to his house, he’d been to the fire station,” said Graton chief Bill Bullard. “He was a pretty amazing individual.”
Noting that the fire that took Shimoda’s life happened on Memorial Day, Bullard said he finds comfort in believing that his new friend is now with brothers at arms who died in war or as veterans.
A Nisei, or second-generation Japanese-American, Shimoda was born in Oregon on Sept. 13, 1919. He went into the U.S. Army during World War II and served with the highly decorated 442nd Infantry Regimental Combat Team, made up almost entirely of Nisei. In 2010, the unit was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
Shimoda made a career of the Army and became an officer. In the early 1950s, he learned document investigations techniques while serving in the Counter-Intelligence and Criminal Investigation Branch. He served also in Korea, later telling Graton volunteer firefighters that a combat injury there cost him one of his legs.
In 1960, he was appointed chief of the U.S. Army Crime Laboratories. Six years later, he retired from the military and took a position in San Bruno as assistant director of the western region crime labs of U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
He and his wife settled into a home in Marin County.
Betty Shimoda was the original proprietor of the Ocha-ya snack bar at San Francisco’s Japantown.
“His unassuming demeanor has been the consternation of many a defense attorney.”
A tribute by the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners observed that John Shimoda was frequently called to testify in court both in the U.S. and abroad on questions regarding the authenticity or authorship of documents entered as evidence.
“His unassuming demeanor has been the consternation of many a defense attorney,” read a 2007 tribute that accompanied the presentation to Shimoda of an ASQDE award of excellence.
In May 1978, San Francisco police detectives working to identify and arrest the Zodiac killer took Shimoda a letter that had been sent to the San Francisco Chronicle that appeared to be from the suspect.
Shimoda in time concluded, “I am of the opinion that the letter of April 24 was an attempt to duplicate Zodiac letters and is not authentic.”
The killer was never caught.
In addition to his decades of work with the Army and the Postal Service, Shimoda served as one of the first Diplomates of the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners and he was a life member of the California division of the International Association for Identification.
Just last year, his family attended a pancake breakfast at the Graton firehouse, located about three miles from home, and won a hosted dinner there at the station. The family chose to go the firehouse for his 100th birthday dinner.
“One of our firefighters prepared a meal of chicken parmesan, and we sat around the table together for hours talking and laughing, telling stories and enjoying his company,” reads a post on the volunteer fire company’s Facebook page. “It was a truly wonderful evening.”
The post then says of Shimoda, “While we only knew him briefly, he was one of the most colorful and enjoyable guests we ever had at Graton Fire Department. He will be missed by many.”
Shimoda is survived by his daughters, Carol Hebel of Sebastopol and Susan Tamai of San Francisco, four grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.
