text: Handwritten catechismus by H. den Dubbelden, ‘capellani Sti. Jacobi Sijlva Ducis 1795, 13 Augusti’. Henricus den Dubbelden (1769-1851) was a Dutch clergyman and vicar and later bishop of the Roman Catholic church. When he wrote this manuscript he was active in Den Bosch at the St Jacobschurch. Den Dubbelden filled a little over half of this beautifully bound notebook with questions and answers concerning the christian faith. 79 pages are numbered, 78 pages are filled with writing. The rest of the pages are still blank. Full marbled leather binding with goldtooling on the outside of the binding (spine, front and back), the inside (along the blue coloured endpapers) and the edges of the binding. The bookblock has gilded edges and the handsewn headbands and a green bookmark ribbon are still present. The book has been used to store some small items. Between pages 54 and 55 we find a handcoloured print with some gilding and the text ‘Purificatio Virgines Mariae’. Between pages 58-59 we find a small printed leaflet entitled ‘Aflaten’ (Indulgence). It is dated to 1794 and printed by Jacobus Scheffers, 's Bosch. And for whatever reason there is also a small pin between pages 2 and 3. The writing is clear and legible, the pages without any stains, except for pages 58-59. The book seems to have laid openend on these pages for a while with something on top, judging by the smudging. From the collection of Jelle Kaspersma and Alie Vinke.

This is the apt title of Rick Liblong's excellent new book published by Arbutus Press, a fascinating collection of stories about the Civil War service of small town soldiers from Michigan. The village of Almont in Lapeer County serves as the book's centerpiece and representative of rural Michigan -- as the State largely was in 1861. Alongside more well-known vignettes, like Norvel Churchill's brave rescue of Custer at Hunterstown, are unfamiliar and amazing stories like attorney Melvin Brewer who within two weeks of Fort Sumter offered to raise a regiment, rose to lieutenant colonel of the 7th Michigan Cavalry, and paid the ultimate price at Winchester in Sept. 1864. Teacher William Hamilton's 17 months as a prisoner has similar poignancy. Liblong begins and ends the book by contrasting the freedom to hold slaves sought by insurrectionists with that embodied in a valedictory white pine monument on Almont's main street dedicated to a nation recreated with liberty and justice for all.
I learned a lot, enjoyed the many illustrations, and heartily recommend this fine book.
(Other books published by Arbutus include Vintage Views of the Mackinac Straits Region, a personal favorite that enables the armchair traveler to enjoy a trip through time and space without leaving his den.)

- Rural western lands are essential for our food, energy, water, and economy.
- Voters in rural areas of the West have significant political power.
- Many western rural communities are struggling socially and economically.
- The new Rural West Insights series discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the rural West, focusing on its people and landscapes.
The rural West today provides essential food, energy, water and economic benefits; while playing a significant role in local, state, and federal politics. The region’s social and economic outlook, however, is mixed and many western rural communities are struggling.
This post is part of our Rural West Insights series that discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the rural West, focusing on its people and landscapes. Future reports will focus on demographics, the changing economy, the importance of non-labor income, and best fiscal practices for managing commodity booms.
Non-Metro Counties in the West
The share of rural Americans has been declining more than a century, and 1920 was the first census that found more Americans living in cities than rural areas. Today, roughly 85 percent of Americans live in urban settings with just 15 percent in rural areas, though the rural population covers 72 percent of the nation’s land.
The West surprisingly is more urban than the national average with 89 percent of the population living in metropolitan areas.
Economic activity is concentrated in more densely populated counties. In Washington State, for example, just two counties contain nearly half of the state’s total employment; and just two counties in Utah make up 61 percent of the state’s employment.
Overall, 97 percent of westerners reside in either Metropolitan or “Connected” counties—those connected to urban areas via airports with daily commercial services. The remaining three percent of the western population is spread across half of the total landscape.
Lands: Rural Areas Are Essential for Our Food, Energy, Water, and Economy
As a recent report noted: “Rural America is important to all Americans because it is a primary source for inexpensive and safe food, affordable energy, clean drinking water and accessible outdoor recreation.”
Indeed, today Americans spend less of their income on food than any other developed nation, and the rural West’s wide variety of agricultural products—whether beef, grain, or apples—play an important role in both domestic consumption and a large export market.
The production of other commodities such as timber and energy also is important in the rural West. Wyoming, for example, is the nation’s leading producer of coal, and it mines a significant amount of oil and natural gas—while Oregon is the leading timber producer in the country.
National Forests provide 33 percent of the West’s water, with a high of 86 percent in Washington State. Almost all western cities such as Denver and Portland receive a significant portion of their water supply from rural areas.
Rural lands also will play an increasingly important role adapting to climate change; whether it is continuing to provide needed drinking water to regions experiencing less rainfall or providing “refuge areas” for flora and fauna to survive altered climate patterns.
In addition, the wildlife, vistas, and scenery of the rural West support a growing outdoor recreation economy, supporting 1.9 million jobs in the West and tens of billions of dollars in expenditures.
These lands in non-metro western counties can be an important economic asset that extends beyond tourism and recreation to attract people and businesses. Rural western counties with a higher share of federal lands, for example, perform better economically on average than similar counties with the lowest share of federal lands.
Politics: Rural Western Voters Retain Significant Political Power
Rural areas have long exerted a strong political influence in most western states—whether at the county, state, or federal level. And while many non-metro areas have seen a loss of state or federal lawmakers compared to several generations ago, rural political power remains relatively strong in states such as Montana or Nevada.
Several reasons explain why rural residents’ political power is greater than their small share of the overall population.
One important factor is partisanship: rural voters have become reliably Republican. As the intensification of partisanship continues—rural counties became more red, urban counties more blue in 2016 compared to 2012—the Republican domination of many state legislatures and governorships allows rural areas to maintain their influence. Rural voters, by playing a major role in the governing political party, need only to influence that ruling coalition to impact politics and policies rather than influence a county or state’s entire population.
Another rural political advantage is age. Rural areas are disproportionately older than the country and these voters turn out in much higher numbers than other Americans, especially in non-presidential, local, or off-year elections.
At the local level, county governments are the most important political and policy decision-makers. Small towns within counties often are not incorporated or constitute a small portion of a county’s voters. Thus, rural voters usually can control fiscal, growth, and other policies.
While redistricting slowly is reducing rural influence at the state level, rural areas often retain tremendous clout in the growing political contests between cities and state governments, where state governments often are a proxy for rural voters and interests.
Rural representatives also often share similar agendas and goals, making them more efficient in pursuing goals and objectives. By comparison, one study showed that cities, despite their size, often have failed to accomplish legislative agendas partly because of the complexity and different priorities of urban voters.
Several exceptions to rural power in the West, at the state level, certainly exist. A handful or urban counties in Washington and Oregon, for example, are known for outvoting and controlling the legislatures in those states. As a reaction, in states where rural areas no longer have clear power—California, Colorado or Washington—rural areas have toyed with the idea of seceding to form their own state.
Rural political influence also remains strong at the federal level. In the House of Representatives, the concentration of Democrats in urban areas—along with a number of smaller, rural states with a sole Representative—helps Republicans hold a majority of seats. Democratic voters, by comparison, are inefficiently distributed.
For its part, the rural bias of the United States Senate actually has grown over time, and a recent academic study showed that the minimum share of total population needed to control the Senate has shrunk from 30 percent in the early 1800s to only 17 percent today. The study authors note a dramatic example: California, largely urban with 32 million citizens, has the same Senate clout as Wyoming’s 480,000 residents.
Rural advantages also are pronounced in the Electoral College. To continue the above California versus Wyoming example, each elector in California represents roughly 715,000 people, compared to fewer than 200,000 people per elector in Wyoming.
Perhaps because of this leverage, rural areas largely have protected their share of government funding. Many state and federal programs, for example, continue to contain funding minimums for assistance to rural areas. In addition, because many funding formulas were created in earlier eras when rural populations were relatively larger, rural regions often continue to receive roughly the same spending per person as urban or suburban areas.
People: Many Rural Western Communities Are Struggling
The economic challenges facing rural areas have been well documented. While the challenges facing rural regions often are difficult, some rural areas are stable or even thriving. Today, rural westerners represent roughly a tenth of the region’s population and smart investments and policies can help these areas improve production, economic vitality, and quality of life important to any community.
Compared to the nation, rural Americans are older, fewer have a high school degree, their health outcomes are lower, they often lack adequate access to social services such as hospitals and schools, life expectancy is dropping, job earnings are lower and more volatile, and a significant portion of rural counties face significant and persistent poverty.
Some of these challenges have resulted from no fault of rural residents but simply because of the march of productivity. According to one study, 88 percent of the loss of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. from 2000 to 2010 can be explained by increases in productivity due to advances in labor-saving technology.
As efficiency increases, the number of farmers, miners, or laborers needed to maintain production has shrunk. And in many cases, new operations such as larger and larger farms increase output while simultaneously shrinking the workforce.
Today, for example, only five percent of personal income in western rural counties comes from direct employment in resource extraction activities such as mining, energy, or timber.
Overall, the economic sectors and businesses employing rural workers have changed dramatically. As a source of personal income today, government employment is 15 percent; services sectors such as health, engineering, education are 28 percent; manufacturing, construction and agriculture are 10 percent; mining, energy, and timber are 5 percent; and non-labor income such as retirement (pensions, Social Security and Medicare) and investments is 46 percent (all figures rounded).
Because of productivity increases and changing employment patterns, fewer rural workers have been needed in many communities, resulting in outmigration as workers and their families search for employment.
These population decreases then put pressure on local services—schools, grocery stores, or doctors—which often no longer have a population base sufficient to continue operating in a town or county. The result can be a reinforcing negative cycle that drives down population, diminishes taxes to support schools or law enforcement, and results in fewer customers for local stores.
Some rural areas have been reliant for years on a single industry—often tied to a commodity such as grain, energy, or beef—or related to a specific export market for rural manufacturing. This lack of economic diversity can leave a rural community vulnerable to the challenges described above.
In addition, it can place rural regions on a relative roller-coaster as commodity prices rise or decline, or export markets open or close based on outside factors such as the value of the dollar, trade agreements, or competition.
Finally, many rural areas are struggling to attract capital, whether public or private, to invest in their communities to remain competitive. State and federal assistance has been declining in real terms for almost all programs important to rural areas—whether for roads, airports, federal payments to counties, education, communications, or rural hospitals.
Private sector investment tells a similar story. Some communities have attracted significant new projects such as a data center or call facility, but many areas are struggling to spur significant investment.
Yet, some rural communities can and do compete in today’s economy. One key challenge is to reverse the brain drain where many younger rural residents are leaving for cities. Many states have initiated programs encouraging rural residents to return to their communities once they start raising families or are looking for more affordable cost-of-living options.
Rural advantages—whether tradition, way of life, lower costs, lighter taxes, or recreation opportunities—can be an important factor in retaining or attracting individuals, investors, or businesses. Rural manufacturing, for example, has declined in some rural areas of the West, but many success stories illustrate how businesses are growing and providing an important share of a town or county’s employment.
Why the Rural West Matters: New Policies Must Reflect the Region’s Wide Diversity of Communities and Opportunities
Future decisions and policies impacting the rural West will extend beyond the region and impact Americans across the country. While the region has many valuable assets and great potential, many rural communities are facing significant social and economic challenges. Unfortunately, current government and private sector approaches do not reflect current socioeconomic realities and often are failing rural citizens.
Our Rural West Insights series will document many of the challenges and opportunities facing this diverse region. The rural West already has many advantages such as high quality of life and lower cost of living. Going forward, updated, flexible, and varied policies will be necessary to provide rural towns and communities with the resources they need to compete in today’s economy.
One of the most important issues requires improving human capital in rural communities through efforts such investing in rural education to keep and attract families or train workers. Other steps include increasing the quality and availability of health care; expanding and upgrading infrastructure and communications networks to help rural communities more easily access larger markets; continuing agriculture programs such as the Farm Bill; and sustaining the quality of the landscape along with best practices for utilizing natural resources.

MY LIFE IN TEN SONGS
OMG @nathanveshecco this is perfect
- •"Testify To Love" by AvalonThis pretty much sums up my childhood—listening to my parents upbeat Christian pop and living an upbeat happy-go-lucky life marked by prayer at dinner time.
- •"Dead Serious" by ZOEgirlMiddle school. The first time I felt like an outsider and the first time I took God seriously. This song captures all that Angst (🙄) perfectly.
- •"Screen Door" by Rich MullinsEarly high school. I was trying to be a hipster and so not succeeding, but at least I was having fun.
- •"Whispers In The Dark" by SkilletI was in 10th grade and I got into a huge argument with my best friend while we were on a band trip. The rest of the year was lonely and miserable and filled with self-justification and self-loathing—both feelings were equally ugly. Songs like this made me cling to faith, made me remember God loved me when I didn't think I deserved it.
- •"Fidelity" by Regina Spektor"I never loved nobody fully / Always one foot on the ground / but by protecting my heart truly / I got lost in the sound" THIS SONG WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE ME
- •"Hello Hurricane" by SwitchfootMy move in late high school was this song: a huge Hurricane that couldn't silence my love. The greatest display of resiliency I've seen from myself and the greatest display of faithfulness I've seen from God.
- •"Feet, Don't Fail Me Now" by NeedtobreatheThe end of senior year, I was riding high. I was the valedictorian, I was in love, I was going to college on a great scholarship. I was loud and bright and brilliant and confident, just like this song.
- •"Vivir Mi Vida" by Marc AntonySame story but in SPANISH
- •"Enough to Let Me Go" by SwitchfootHow I will forever say I want to love and be loved
- •"I Won't Let You Go" by SwitchfootHow I actually want to love and be loved (yes, this is so cheesy, but Lawwwwwd is it true)

PARIS (Christian Examiner) – The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has dispatched six French-speaking, crisis-trained chaplains to Paris to comfort and minister to Parisians after the devastating terror attacks on the city left over 120 dead and 350 wounded.
"Join me in praying for the French people," Franklin Graham said, "all those injured and the loved ones of the victims of these barbaric attacks." His words remind us that one of the greatest responses to crises is prayer.
On Graham's instruction, chaplains from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. were sent to Paris Monday to provide ministry and counseling in association with a French church, the BGEA site reported.
Jack Munday, international director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, said the purpose of the team was comfort and encouragement. "We want to encourage them, let them know we're here to support them," he said, adding he heard the Paris attacks described on television as the worst tragedy since World War II.
On Facebook, Graham called for immigration reform in response to the Syrian passport found near one of the terrorists. He faulted Islam for its "call to bring destruction and terror," listing several notable terror attacks since 9/11. "Islam has declared war on the world, and it's high time we acknowledge it and respond decisively," Graham said.
The Rapid Response Team was created after the terror attacks on the World Trade Centers on 9/11 to share Christ in the midst of crisis and disasters. Chaplains around the world are carefully selected and trained to demonstrate the compassion of Jesus Christ and appropriately share Christ's message of hope and healing.
"We'll be talking with people on the streets, the storekeepers, the café workers to see how they're holding up," Munday said. "And to let them know that God hasn't forgotten them."
These chaplains represent the organization's first concerted international response since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Graham wrote ISIS wants to dominate the world: "They want to control us—they want to destroy us. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live under Islam. I will bow my knee to no one except Almighty God."
After calling for elected officials "willing to take the fight to the Islamic State," Graham stressed a need to join with international allies against ISIS.
"Our world is in great peril," Graham said. "We need to pray for God's mercy, His grace, and His protection. I pray that America will turn to God before it's too late."


Underground Taming of Floods for Irrigation (UTFI), an IWMI/WLE/CCAFS project, involves diverting water flows from rivers or canals at times when these flows pose a flood risk to recharge the groundwater via village ponds or small dams, which are modified for this purpose. This approach reduces the flood risk locally and in downstream areas as well as improving groundwater availability through enhanced recharge. IWMI has undertaken a pilot project to demonstrate and test UTFI in the Milak Block of Rampur District, Uttar Pradesh, with the Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (CSSRI) , Livelihoods and Natural Resources Management Institute (LNRMI) and The Energy Resources Institute (TERI). With support from Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK), for Agricultural Science Training Center) Rampur, the local community is being engaged in the project.
On September 13, 2017, IWMI and its project partners organized a workshop at the KVK office in Rampur to create greater awareness among farming communities about UTFI interventions within the project area. The workshop objective was to have field interactions with the farmers and gain their perspective on the experiences they have had with the UTFI project. Previous interactions within the project area had suggested there is demand for scaling up to generate larger benefits in the long run.
The aim of this event was to create a platform where scientists and farmers can engage in an open dialogue to build a more in-depth understanding of the concept underlying UTFI and to identify opportunities for scaling up.
Prior to the workshop, the team met with the District Magistrate (DM) of Rampur, Shiv Sahay Awasthi, who showed much interest in the project interventions. Emphasizing the importance of climate change, he asked how UTFI project interventions will help farmers build resilience to climate change impacts. He was especially keen to know more about how this could reduce the risk of floods and groundwater depletion. The DM visited the project site with the team and participated in the one-day community interaction workshop, where he urged farmers to support the scale up of such interventions in Rampur District. He also encouraged the UTFI team and extended his full support to the project through a linkage with the Prime Minister Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) program.

The City Council has passed a resolution objecting to a county proposal to pile trash in the county's Prima Deshecha Landfill 80 feet above a ridgeline.
Council members contend that residents north of the landfill would be forced to look at a 4,500-foot-long plateau of rubbish as it rises over several years.
The county proposal includes increasing the landfill's capacity to 103 million cubic yards from 81 million cubic yards.
The council voted Tuesday to forward its objections about a draft environmental report on the plan. The city is also concerned that the report doesn't adequately deal with increased truck traffic and noise on Ortega Highway, the only main road to the landfill.
More than three dozen residents attended the council meeting Tuesday night, and many of them clutched information flyers printed by the city. The flyers contain a sample letter that people are encouraged to write to county officials.
The County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider the landfill plan as early as December.
"Don't let this go down the road before it's too late and it gets rammed down our throats," Councilman Gil Jones urged the audience.
Jones said he is concerned that the landfill could become a home for garbage from areas other than South County.
Councilman Jeff Vasquez said he is less worried about the proposal to increase the landfill's capacity, calling it an inevitable part of growth. However, he did not oppose the resolution, which was approved 5 to 0.
The landfill, south of Ortega Highway and east of Interstate 5, has been in use since 1976, handling municipal solid waste from South County cities.
About a third of the 1,530-acre landfill is in San Juan Capistrano, while a small portion--133 acres--is in San Clemente, with the remaining acreage on unincorporated county land.

JOHNSBURG – Curriculum and technology improvements as well as student and staff achievements are some of the topics to be highlighted at the Johnsburg District 12 State of the District presentation.
The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday in the auditorium of Johnsburg High School, 2002 W. Ringwood Road, Johnsburg.
As the district plans for the future, the event is a chance to share with the public what the district is doing well and talk about areas for improvement.
The public also will be updated on student services programs, the district’s financial affairs and facility conditions.
Faculty and staff have been preparing for the implementation of new education standards, called the Common Core.
The school board also recently approved a reduction in force of 35 teachers, or about 20 percent of its force, over concerns about state education funding and the potential shift of pension costs to local districts. It expects to hire at least some of those teachers back, Superintendent Dan Johnson has said.
The district continues to have low fund balances, which means it doesn’t have a lot of wiggle room to absorb costs.
Because of late payments and low fund balances, the district had to borrow last year to tide itself over until the rest of property taxes came through.

The Friends of Cotgrave Country Park are a group of volunteers who help improve the park environment and
arrange events for the local community. The park is owned and managed by Nottinghamshire County Council,
and the Friends work in conjunction with the council. Anyone is welcome to join the Friends Group, and there
are a variety of ways in which you can get involved.
The Friends’ main activities fall into three categories:
organising events, including the Family Fun Day (pictured above), and guided walks around the park;
raising funds to finance work to enhance the park, such as seeding wildflower meadows and
erecting bird and bat boxes;
working in collaboration with the council on the management and future plan for the park by representing
the interests of the local community and park users. For example, we are working on installing new
interpretation boards around the park to provide information to visitors.


As the speculation about a trade involving Carmelo Anthony continues to swirl (in case you happen to have missed it, click here or here for recent examples), one of the things that amazes me is the continued mention of Derrick Favors as a centerpiece of the deal. Yes, he of the 6.5 ppg and 5 rpg. I guess the theory is that he has tremendous “upside.”
Well, yeah… if by “upside” you mean the amount of miraculous improvement we’d have to see for the guy to become an impact player.
For years, I’ve been unable to understand how so many NBA GM’s get intrigued by false “upside” so regularly. To be clear, when I’m talking about players who were highly valued because of their “upside,” I’m talking about guys who went to college and didn’t perform at a star’s level. Sorry for being all lawyerly, but, when I say “perform at a star’s level” I mean that the guy either started on a Final Four team, or was named to at least one of (i) his all-conference team or (ii) the All-American team. That’s a relatively simple way to separate the guys who distinguished themselves in college from the guys who didn’t; only the first group contains guys with real achievements.
For all the talk of “upside” that we hear around the NBA Draft and the trade deadline, I can’t think of a single star who represents an example of someone with no track record of success but lots of “upside” who turned that “upside” into consistent performance. Literally, not one.
Think of the top 15 players in the league today. We could argue about who’s in that group, but it’s generally safe to say that it looks something like this (in no particular order)
5. Deron Williams
9. Derrick Rose
15. Pao Gasol
When testing my statement that nobody who went to college and failed to distinguish himself wound up becoming a star, the guys who never went to college do not weigh on the analysis. (I guess some might say that it’s a copout for me to make an argument about how young players get analyzed without addressing the stars who didn’t play in college. But I’m not arguing that untested young guys never amount to anything — I’m arguing that the guys who played in college but didn’t do much don’t deserve to be treated like valuable assets.)
Working from that list of 15, let’s see what the data tells us:
1. Kobe – No college.
2. LeBron – No college.
3. Wade – Carried Marquette to the Final Four
4. CP3 – First Team All-American as a sophomore at Wake Forest
5. Deron Williams – Led Illinois to the Finals
6. Amar’e – No college.
7. Howard – No college.
8. Dirk – No college.
9. Derrick Rose – Led Memphis to the Finals
10. Carmelo – Led Syracuse to a championship
11. Durant – AP player of the year as a freshman at Texas
12. Pierce – First Team All-American as a junior at Kansas
13. Ginobili – No college.
14. Westbrook – Played on a UCLA team that went to the Final Four
15. Pao Gasol – No college.
In sum, each of the guys on this list who went to college did some BALLIN’ when he was there. There isn’t a single guy on the list who went to college and failed to assert himself.
Against that backdrop, let’s return to Derrick Favors. A “power forward,” he was only the second-leading rebounder on his Georgia Tech team during his only year there. (And it’s not like he was part of a dominating front-court tag-team with the next Moses Malone — the guy had fewer rebounds than someone named Gani Lawal. Then again, maybe it’s possible that Lawal has tremendous “upside,” too, and that this was actually the most talented big-man tandem in the history of college hoops. Ahem.) That Georgia Tech team, a #10 seed, lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Some guys look at that track record and, because of something about Favors (his height? his jumping ability? his carefully trimmed goatee?) see reason to get excited about his “upside.” I look at Favors, and see a guy who hasn’t done much to get excited about. (Though I must admit that his goatee is well-maintained.)
The Nets were wrong to draft him at #3. The Nuggets would be wrong to accept him as the main piece in a trade involving Carmelo Anthony. All he’s got is “upside,” and history suggests that “upside” is nothing more than a wish that a guy who hasn’t accomplished much will miraculously get much better.

OLD LYME, Conn. (AP) — State police say a Connecticut woman had gotten out of her vehicle to check on a 1-year-old child in the back seat on Interstate 95 when she was hit and killed by a tractor-trailer.
Police say 31-year-old Ashley Ferguson of Middletown was standing near the rear driver-side door around 11:30 a.m. Thursday when she was struck in Old Lyme. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The child and another passenger weren’t hurt. Police say the child was taken to a clinic as a precaution.
The state Department of Transportation said the southbound lanes were shut down after the accident. One lane of the highway was reopened at about 8 p.m. Thursday.
