The costs of keeping it rural in Minnesota

LONG PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Verna Toenyan, who was raised in Eagle Bend in central Minnesota, organizes and advocates for seniors in Todd County, where nearly one in five residents are 65 or older. Though she's in her sixties herself, she often begins her days at 5 a.m. and works until well after dark, occasionally pulling her car over for a nap on the shoulder of a road. She knits people and dollars together in a myriad of creative combinations.
She teaches the elderly to use email and arranges networks that keep them in their houses and out of nursing homes. She organizes food programs. "You could never put a price tag on anything that would make an 80- or 90-year-old woman get up, put on the best outfit that she's got and lipstick and earrings, to meet somebody bringing her a hot meal," said Toenyan. "There's no price tag."
In the next decade, Minnesota is expected to have more people over 65 than school-aged children, a demographic shift that disproportionately affects rural areas, which are already older than the norm.
The trend extends nationwide. Nearly half of all rural counties experienced more deaths than births between 2011 and 2012. That compares to just 17 percent of urban counties.
And so, the school closes. And then the grocery store. And then the bank. "I have seen it, a dwindling at a very gradual rate, all my life," said Toenyan. "It's just like sliding downhill very slowly."
A shift toward older Minnesotans--where there are more people drawing public benefits and fewer working to pay for them--will dramatically alter many aspects of life, primary among them the delivery of health care. Simply spending more isn't an option, given tight federal, state and local budgets. So, people look for new ways of doing things, such as using broadband for long-distance diagnoses and record-keeping or providing in-home services so the elderly can "age in place."
The solution usually depends on the particular problem. And the tools of success depend on a community's resources, whether an abundance of volunteers, high-speed internet or a local, innovative hospital.
In Toenyan's case, she taps public, private and foundational resources to make sure seniors in Todd County don't go hungry. Recently, she established a non-profit bakery in Eagle Bend to help raise money for a senior meals program. Several years ago, she helped start a new kind of bundled Meals on Wheels service that enlists volunteers to deliver frozen dinners to elderly people living along some of the longest gravel roads in the county.
"It's just that I love the people and want everyone to have a bright future and options and opportunities, regardless of age, from a tiny baby on up," she said.
For others in rural Minnesota, reimagining the places where they live means encouraging the arts or pushing locals to open new businesses. It may mean haranguing elected officials to engage in smarter planning, developing ecological farming practices, building incubator kitchens to anchor local food revivals, stringing fiber optic cable up steep rock faces to serve remote homes or trying to get Latinos and whites working together.
Some people start community gardens where locals of different ethnicities can interact or put on plays that explore the history of a town to bolster civic pride.
But by some measures, "keeping it rural" is a difficult and expensive proposition.
In a time of protracted national budget difficulties, people are asking, is it more important to keep services alive for a small, remote community or to spend public dollars where they'll have the most impact?
Washington Post reporter Ezra Klein somewhat famously touted the wealth-generating power of cities two years ago in a column about the book, The Triumph of the City. He wrote that "cities make us smarter, more productive and more innovative. To put it plainly, they make us richer." But, he added, "it would of course be political suicide for President Obama to say that part of winning the future is ending the raft of subsidies we devote to sustaining rural living."
Some rural advocates took umbrage at the notion of a rural subsidy, noting that when federal spending on military, criminal justice and higher education are factored in, spending on metro areas per capita is slightly higher than in rural areas. In fact, per capita federal spending has increased in rural and urban parts of the nation in recent years, but it has increased less in rural areas--32 percent, compared to 40 percent, between 2006 and 2010.
Because rural people generally are poorer and older than those in cities, they draw substantially more in the significant category of transfer payments, including medical benefits, retirement and disability payments, unemployment insurance and veterans' benefits. These payments added up in 2011 to $8,236 per person in rural areas and $7,022 in metro areas, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service.
When it comes to state money, there is a similar shift of tax dollars from urban to rural communities. Minnesota aids and credits, or money paid out of the state coffers, totaled almost $2,600 per capita in non-metro areas in 2009 compared to just over $2,400 in metro areas, according to a 2012 report from the Minnesota House Research Department. Yet, when it comes to major state taxes, or money paid in, non-metro areas contributed around $2,000 per capita and metro areas $3,000. So in many ways, cities here support rural areas.
While outstate communities tend to draw fewer private investment and foundation dollars, it's also true that a host of programs exist to keep rural America afloat. Even setting aside the billions that go toward farm subsidies each year, the federal government has dedicated approximately $7 billion to expanding broadband internet access to underserved areas. It also subsidizes more than 1,300 remote hospitals by paying them 1 percent above their Medicare costs and spends approximately $200 million each year on the Essential Air Service program, which helps keep some rural airports, including several in Minnesota, flying.
"Rural life has both great advantages and great disadvantages, and it is not the job of hardworking taxpayers who chose to live elsewhere to level out the differences," Rep. Tom McClintock, a California Republican, said last June, criticizing support for rural airports.

Injuries have been hitting the Minnesota Vikings relatively hard in the last month and they have had to make adjustments to the roster regularly.
This week was no exception. With left tackle Blake Brandel tearing his MCL against the Detroit Lions, he was destined for injured reserve. That move happened today, opening up a second roster spot, as the team hadn’t filled one of the two opened up when they placed Akayleb Evans and Ben Ellefson on injured reserve.
To fill those two spots, the Vikings signed cornerback Kalon Barnes off of the Miami Dolphins practice squad and linebacker William Kwenkeu off of their own practice squad.
Barnes has a lot of athleticism, including running a 4.22 40-yard dash, but lacks some of the technique at this time to thrive. The potential and team control through 2024 makes things very appealing.
Kwenkeu had been elevated multiple times on the season and his addition to the active roster felt inevitable.
The last move they made was signing defensive lineman Sheldon Day to the practice squad. A former fourth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016, Day has played with four teams in his career most recently with the Cleveland Browns.
#Vikings roster moves
– Signed CB Kalon Barnes and LB William Kwenkeu to the 53-man roster
– Signed DL Sheldon Day to the practice squad
– Placed T Blake Brandel on IR

Aurangabad: The South Central Railway (SCR) has sanctioned funds worth Rs2.5 crore each for the Aurangabad and Nanded railway stations for the installation of an advanced watering system for coaches.
The project, which will have a computerized system for refilling train coaches with water, will curtail the detention time of trains at stations.
Rajesh Shinde, public relations officer of the Nanded division of the SCR, said that the advanced watering system for coaches will involve the main pipeline of 12-inch diameter and a sub-pipeline of six-inch diameter to supply water with effective flow.
“With the allocation of funds, tenders will be separately floated for the installation of coach-watering project at Aurangabad and Nanded railway stations shortly. The high-tech measure will bring down the detention time of trains and thereby curtail the overall travel time of trains, especially long-distance trains,” said Shinde.
Notably, the SCR top-brass has already asked divisional authorities to minimize the time required for refilling coaches with water for the benefit of passengers. “The advanced watering system for coaches is expected to bring down the refilling time to as low as five minutes. It will also ensure judicious use of water and help to avoid wastage,” said Shinde.
SCR authorities expressed their inability to share when the project will actually be rolled out but maintained that the necessary formalities for its implementation will be cleared shortly.
Aurangabad and Nanded are two major water refilling points for coaches in Nanded division as the majority of trains originate from these two stations. Besides these, Purna junction near Parbhani and Amanwadi station near Akola are other refilling points for coaches.
Railway activist Omprakash Varma said that both Aurangabad and Nanded are A-1 category stations in the Nanded division of SCR and therefore must receive state-of-the-art facilities.
“Watering of coaches is one of the key aspects of operations of trains. It is a good move that the SCR authorities have been replacing the old system with a new one. Let us hope that the project becomes a reality soon,” said Varma.
Nanded division, which is one of the six divisions of the SCR, has around 103 stations. It came into existence in April 2003. The division caters to large parts of Marathwada and a few other parts of the state.

A slot is a small hole or slit in something that lets air or liquid through. It can also refer to the number of slots on a screen, or the space on a keyboard that lets you enter numbers.
A slots game is a casino gambling machine that uses a random number generator (RNG) to generate combinations of symbols on its reels. The odds of winning a slot jackpot vary from machine to machine, but are one of the biggest reasons people choose to play slots instead of other casino games like blackjack and poker. There is a lot of superstition surrounding slot machines, but the truth is that luck plays more of a role in your chances of winning than anything else.
In addition to the RNG, there are other components that make up a modern slot machine. These include a coin mechanism, a control panel and a display screen. Some slots are standalone units while others are integrated into a larger gaming system. The latter type can be found at land-based casinos and even some online ones.
Some modern slot machines are designed to be sociable and can interact with players through touch-screen technology. This makes them more immersive and fun to play, but it’s important to remember that they are still gambling games.
When playing an online slot, you’ll need to sign up for an account with a casino, then deposit money into your account. Once you’ve done this, you can then select the slot you want to play and press the spin button. The reels will then spin, and if you hit the right combination of symbols, you’ll win money.
Another way to increase your chances of winning is to use a slot bonus. These can be in the form of free spins, extra cash or additional reels. These bonuses are a great way to try out new games and potentially win big. However, before you decide to take advantage of a slot bonus, be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.
Penny slots are a huge source of revenue for casinos, as they can be played with very low amounts of money. However, they can be very addictive and lead to gambling addiction. If you’re planning to play these games, it’s a good idea to set a budget and stick to it. You should also avoid chasing wins, as you might end up depleting your bankroll very quickly.
A quarter slot is the ideal choice for someone who wants to gamble but doesn’t have much money to risk. It has a higher payout ratio than nickel and penny slots, but it’s important to understand that the random number generated by the machine could spell disaster for your bankroll. Moreover, it’s easy to lose track of your bets when playing this game, and it can deplete your bankroll in no time. To avoid this, you should stay within your budget and set account deposits limits.

Waterloo Mayor Brenda Halloran not seeking re-election in 2014
In an interview with The Waterloo Chronicle on Wednesday, Waterloo Mayor Brenda Halloran announced that she will not be running in the fall 2014 election for a possible third term. Halloran has been the mayor of Waterloo since the fall of 2006.
Halloran notified her staff via e-mail this morning about her decision to not seek re-election. In addition to Halloran, city councilors Karen Scian and Scott Witmer have also confirmed earlier in December they are not seeking re-election.
“After nearly seven years as Mayor of the City of Waterloo, I have made the most difficult decision to not seek re-election in the 2014 municipal elections,” Halloran wrote in the letter. “I am very proud that Waterloo has become an even more vibrant place to live, work, learn, and play. I have been proud to share our unique and inspirational story on the global stage.”
Halloran’s letter cited many of her accomplishments and initiatives since becoming mayor in 2006 such as the 2007 Intelligent Community award and Waterloo’s developing relationship with its sister city, Chongqing, China. It’s unknown what is next for the Waterloo mayor, but her letter noted that she looks forward to this “next stage.”
“It is hard to say goodbye to a role that holds such purpose and meaning. I believe that life is about possibilities. I am excited about 2015 and I look forward to jumping into the next stage of my life. I will take with me many valuable lessons that I have learned throughout my years as the Mayor of Waterloo,” she wrote. “When you have so much pride in something that you have lived day and night, it is hard to leave. I will continue to serve Waterloo in other ways, working to inspire others to act on their beliefs.”
There have been no announcements so far from other councilors or locals about their intention to run of mayor in fall 2014. The election scheduled for Oct. 27, 2014.
More to come.
Below is an interview we had with the mayor back in March:

Ohio Lawmaker Wants Later School Start Times
An Ohio lawmaker is pushing a proposal requiring all public schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m.
Democratic State Senator Sandra Williams says her bill follows California's passage earlier this month of similar legislation. Her legislative aide, Kierra Branch, says parents are concerned about safety since it's still dark when they go to school. She points to the September death of a Columbus girl who was struck by two vehicles while walking on a section of McNaughten Road lacking sidewalks. And Branch says there are other benefits.
Critics say a later start time would allow students to stay up later at night. The proposal has yet to be formally introduced.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Caught Kissing
By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 2nd 2010 05:43PM
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are heating up the set of the new 'Twilight' film, 'Breaking Dawn.' The pair shared a passionate kiss and wore wedding bands during the filming of the honeymoon scenes in Brazil. Stewart is seen wearing a blue sweater and no pants, while Pattinson sports a white tank-top and jean shorts.
The pair is notoriously private about their relationship and have, on more than one occasion, gone out of their way not to be seen in public together.
'Breaking Dawn,' the fourth and final book in the 'Twilight' series, will be broken into two movies. The first part lands in theaters next year, and the second half will be released in 2012.

Michael Lawrence Stacey was born in Wimbledon on July 6 1924, the son of a First Wold War soldier who had lost a leg while serving as a motorcycle dispatch rider. After Epsom College, Michael entered the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, in 1942.
He served in the cruiser Hawkins in the Indian Ocean and at the Normandy landings; in the destroyer Meteor on Arctic convoys; and in the British Pacific Fleet in the destroyers Rotherham and Cambrian.
As a young officer at the surrender of Singapore in 1945 he boarded a Japanese patrol boat, and when the commanding officer refused to come on deck, Stacey entered his cabin and fired a shot into the woodwork to gain the man’s attention. Word of this incident soon spread, and when Stacey returned to his own ship a Japanese general asked him to accept his sword.
Stacey’s talent as a shiphandler was recognised when he commanded several fast patrol boats and became senior officer of the 1st Fast Patrol Boat Squadron. Later he commanded three ships, the frigates Blackpool (1960-62) and Andromeda (1968-70), and the cruiser Tiger (1973-75).
His seagoing alternated with staff appointments which included the Joint Services staff course in 1966, Chief Staff Officer to the Admiral Commanding Reserves (1966-68) and a deputy to the Director of Naval Air Wafer from 1970 to 1973. In 1975-76 he was Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Policy), an appointment reserved for the most cerebral among the junior admirals. He ended his career as Flag Officer Gibraltar 1976-78, and was appointed CB in 1978.
From 1979 to 1987 Stacey was director of the Marine Pollution Control Unit, which was under the Department of Trade until 1983, when it became part of the Department of Transport. He was also chairman of the Bonn Agreement, a council formed by the littoral states of the North Sea to ensure mutual cooperation in preventing and dealing with pollution. When he retired in 1988, he became a consultant for Oil Spill Response, a company which advised most of the world’s oil companies, spending several years in Nigeria and the Caribbean developing responses to possible oil spills.
Stacey loved everything to do with the sea, and was a member of the Corporation of Trinity House and of the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights .
He married, in 1954, Penelope Liana Riddoch, an air hostess with Pan Am: she predeceased him last year, and he is survived by two sons, one of whom followed him into the Navy.
Rear-Admiral Michael Stacey, born July 6 1924, died July 15 2013

All-State field hockey: Cape junior is driven to win
For Cape Henlopen field hockey player Tess Bernheimer, losing is a rare thing.
Since the junior midfielder arrived in 2012, the Vikings have amassed a 55-1-1 overall record in all competitions, going 15-0 this season, scoring 99 goals in the regular season while giving up just five. In the DIAA Tournament, Cape gave up seven goals while scoring 16.
While Vikings head coach Kate Austin said the team is dedicated to winning, Bernheimer said there is a different reason for why the team has had such success.
"I feel like there's a lot of pressure to win, so that just makes us want to win more, because we have so many wins," Bernheimer said. "I just really, really, really hate to lose."
Austin said Bernheimer, the All-State field hockey player of the year, is a big part of the success as she helps prepare the team in practices and works hard with the goalies.
"She's one of the hardest workers that we have," Austin said. "She works out year-round. She leads the running that we do. With her skill level being so high, she just pushes people at practice every day. She gives our goalies harder shots than they're going to see anywhere."
Austin said Bernheimer is a top player on her team because of her advanced skill level.
"I think that she just distributes the ball well; she's powerful," Austin said. "The speed of her stick and the speed of her feet are just better than most people. I mean there aren't many people that play hockey who are that are faster with the ball than without the ball, and Tess is one of them, and that's incredible to see."
Bernheimer said she started playing field hockey because both her mother and sister played. Her sister, Camryn, played for Cape until 2013, when she graduated and began playing for the Bryant University Bulldogs.
Bernheimer did not play much in her freshman year at Cape, as there were a lot of strong players, but she came on strong in her sophomore year, scoring six goals and six assists in the regular season, but more importantly, scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 victory in the DIAA State Championship final against Delmar.
This year, Bernheimer stepped her performance up, scoring 27 goals and dishing out 20 assists, including one in the final against Polytech in the state championship final at Rullo Stadium. With the game after the first half, 0-0, Bernheimer assisted senior attacker Samantha Broadhurst as she scored the closing goal in a 3-1 victory.
While Austin said there were many performances that stood out from Bernheimer this season, the most memorable would have to be the second half of the final because of Bernheimer's tenacity.
"In the first half, we were shooting and shooting, but we weren't scoring, and at halftime I talked to her and I said, 'You're too good to not just take the game into your hands,' " she said. "The second half of the state final, she was all over the field. She had one of our assists at the end of the game. She hit the post on a rocket shot in the second half. She just really turned it on."
It is performances such as these that has gotten Bernheimer noticed at the collegiate level. Bernheimer said she was looking at both Drexel and the University of Massachusetts, but ultimately decided to join the Dragons when she graduates from Cape Henlopen in 2016. Bernheimer said she chose Drexel because of the coaching staff and the success the school has had both in and outside of the athletics program.
But before she leaves for college, Bernheimer has one final goal to accomplish as a Viking – to continue the success the team has had since she arrived.
"I hope we win again next year, and we go undefeated again," she said. "That's probably the biggest thing for next season."

FDA Examines Arsenic In Rice
FDA has ramped up its testing of arsenic in rice and rice products to determine whether action is needed to reduce long-term exposure to the element. The agency released an initial set of data last week showing total inorganic arsenic levels in about 200 products, including various brands of white rice, brown rice, rice cereals, rice cakes, and rice milk. Total inorganic arsenic levels averaged between 3.5 and 6.7 µg per serving, which is consistent with data published last week in Consumer Reports. FDA says it does not currently have enough scientific data to recommend dietary changes to reduce exposure to arsenic from rice. The agency intends, however, to analyze another 1,000 rice products to help fill in the data gaps. With the additional information, FDA hopes to better understand how arsenic levels vary by rice type, geographical region in which the rice is grown, and type of food product. Inorganic arsenic is found naturally in soil and water and is readily taken up by rice. Chronic exposure to high levels of inorganic arsenic is associated with skin, bladder, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease.

September was a busy month for the Encentiv Energy team, with two back-to-back trade shows. Our team attended E Source Forum in Denver from September 13th-16th, a trade show geared towards utilities with a focus on balancing sustainability with other priorities. The following week, the team exhibited at AEE World in Atlanta, which also emphasized energy efficiency and sustainability. At both shows, we highlighted our growing platform UtilityGenius, a leading source for energy efficiency information. Connecting with trade show attendees is always exciting for our team, and these two shows brought us plenty of takeaways. Here are a few of the most impactful things we’ve learned over the past month.
E Source Forum
Equitability was emphasized in many of the sessions we attended at E Source Forum. Sessions ranged from making utility programs overall more accessible to partnering with minority-owned businesses. The sustainability conversation often centers around environmental sustainability, but this focus on equity at E Source demonstrates a more holistic view of sustainability being adopted by those working in energy.
A large focus was also placed on electric vehicles. Overall, utilities are embracing the changing transportation landscape. There were talks on how utilities could even speed the transition to electric vehicles through market research and increased incentive offerings to their customer bases. There are also some practical concerns for this audience with the changing transportation industry. As EVs are adopted more frequently by the general public, the electric grid faces an even greater load. Utilities are strategizing how they will keep up with this increased demand.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has been a hot topic of conversation for anyone in the energy efficiency space over the last month. The conversations we had at AEE World were no different. The talk at the show was all about how the funds will affect the future of energy efficiency. IRA conversations were heard all over the show floor as attendees tried to understand the IRA’s suite of financial incentives to encourage individuals and businesses to invest in clean, efficient alternatives for homes and businesses. The general consensus was that the IRA could drastically change the landscape of the energy sector.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Ed Woodward wants to sell Manchester United duo Jesse Lingard and Phil Jones this summer. And West Ham boss David Moyes allegedly wants to sign both players.
Click HERE to read also: Report: Manchester United’s pursuit of £80m ace could replicate Bruno Fernandes saga
It is suggested that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is willing to allow the 27-year-old and 28-year-old to leave Old Trafford this summer.
Hammers boss David Moyes will surely be keen to bolster his central defensive and attacking midfield ranks this summer.
So Lingard and Jones might be useful options for the Scot.
According to a report from 90 Min, West Ham want to sign the Manchester United play-maker. Whilst the Mirror have recently reported that the Red Devils centre-back is also a summer target for the Hammers.
TEAMtalk suggests that the 20-time league champions are keen to get the duo out of the door at Old Trafford.
Would they be good signings for West Ham?
Now this is up for debate. Neither Lingard nor Jones have been in great form this season. They two United players seem to be shadows of their former selves.
But perhaps a move to east London could help reinvigorate their careers?
The 27-year-old Manchester United man has failed to register either a goal or an assist in 20 Premier League games so far this season (Transfermarkt).
In those 20 outings, Lingard has averaged just one shot, one key pass and 0.7 dribbles per game (Who Scored).
For a so-called creative player, those numbers really are poor.
Jones, meanwhile, has made just two Premier League appearances all season for United. Injuries have played their part, but even if he was fully fit, it is questionable whether he would be a regular starter under Solskjaer.
If West Ham could pick the duo up for bargains fees, perhaps signing them would be worth the risk for them.
But not many Hammers fans would be overly enamoured with the signings of Lingard and Jones, if they do indeed move to the London Stadium this summer.

Bailey is a 1 year old male Cockapoo. Bailey seems to be following the typical trend of this beautiful cross breeding; he has been surrendered into rescue due to resource guarding behaviour and biting. He is a complex little lad who doesn’t fully understand why he’s doing what he does, but the behaviour has subsequently become ingrained after many years of repeatedly being enabled. Bailey thrives on structure and routine; he does not do well with constant aspects of his day to day life changing, being exposed to excessively busy environments or multiple unknown people being introduced to him without sufficient caution being in place. His family tried for a long time to manage his behaviour but understandably found it very hard and asked us to take him under our care. He originally started guarding his bed from his owners and their fear of him exacerbated his behaviour where it escalated to him guarding the whole house from them and actually holding them hostage in their own home. Bailey is a resource guarder and has nipped on a few occasions.
For those who don’t know Resource guarding refers to a dog displaying behavior (growling, snapping, etc.) intended to convince other dogs or humans to stay away from a particular treasure or “resource.” The resource can be food, treats, toys, a place (a bed or favorite chair), or occasionally a person. In Bailey’s case his bed and his person were both guarded. He does also guard things that you drop on the floor IF he’s allowed to get it. However if you correct him with “leave it” before he gets the item he will leave it alone without problem. He had not bitten over his bed up until recently when he was adopted by a young couple who’s unqualified dog walker decided to play at being a behaviorist and Caesar pinned him down on his bed causing him to bite her severely 19 times on the hand. This is absolutely NOT the way to deal with resource guarding and must never be attempted as this will ABSOLUTELY cause the dog to bite.
Unfortunately with a dog like Bailey who is not confrontational but very anxious, putting him in a vulnerable position where he is unable to take himself away is dangerous. We are incredibly sad that Bailey has been put in this position but it absolutely does highlight the need for these dogs to be handled correctly and not experimented upon by people who don’t know what they are doing. We would highly recommend if you have a resource guarder only using a qualified professional who has experience with this to deal with them Otherwise they will do far more damage than good and if you have adopted one from us we recommend only following the guidelines given by us as we are experienced with it and know and assess these dogs personally. He has nipped a few people coming close to his human but this can be redirected with careful monitoring of his body language and removing him from the situation. He is learning slowly that guarding his person has the opposite affect of what he is trying to achieve. This training will need to be continued if Bailey is to succeed in his new home.
Since being under the care of Pupcakes, Bailey has been extremely friendly and social with dogs and people alike but he may change on entering a home environment that he comes to recognise as his home. Bailey gets on well with all of the dogs in residence here but does guard his bed against them. He would be like to share his home with another playful companion of similar energy level but alternatively could live happily as a solo dog. If he were to live with another dog he would need a home that is able to deal with him guarding his bed from them and deterring him from doing so.
Bailey is quite unruly and although knows sit and paw he doesn’t have any basic manners, especially outside of the home environment where he jumps up at people and pulls on the lead towards people and other dogs; he whines to get to other dogs and pulls heavily on the lead. He also barges through doors. He generally checks in quite regularly offlead and has a fantastic recall when in controlled environments with no other distractions. Bailey is smart and trainable and would greatly benefit from attending training classes with his new human to help him become a calm, balanced dog and also to help cement a good relationship between him and his person. Bailey is house broken and non destructive in the home.
Bailey needs a home that is experienced with resource guarding and happy to continue with the training the rescue has put in place here. Due to his fearfulness of being touched suddenly and the fact he has a bite history we cannot accept applications from homes with resident children under 13. He is a sweet boy who loves his people and having a belly rub, we are certain in the correct home he will really flourish. Bailey will benefit from a home that is active; he loves to walk and when he’s regularly exercised his resource guarding behaviour improves dramatically. A tired dog is a happy dog we always say. He also would be a fantastic candidate for something like Cani cross or agility.
Bailey is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Meets to see Bailey are arranged on an APPOINTMENT ONLY basis AFTER a successful application and home check. Queries about our adoption process can be directed to ourselves through FB message. Unfortunately due to the volumes of messages and applications that we receive we may not be able to reply to everyone but please do give us 72hours to try to respond. Adoption fees apply.

My role at Community Energy Scotland is to support the island communities of Cumbrae, Islay and Raasay to carry out a climate accounting exercise and develop a climate action plan to become carbon neutral by 2040.
The climate and fuel crises are two of the biggest issues we face right now. I look forward to getting to know people and working with local communities to take more positive steps to becoming more resilient in the face of the climate crisis, particularly through developing community energy initiatives. I am excited by the scope of this local action to couple with other projects to have a national and global impact.
I have worked in various community-building roles and enjoy developing relationships and working in creative ways tailored to the community need and expertise. Most recently running a canal boat based community project on the Union Canal: providing opportunities for nature connection, wellbeing and environmental stewardship. Previously working for the RSPB in inclusion, my role was to create opportunities for more diverse groups of people to enjoy the beauty and the environment of Cairngorms National Park. Working with people with additional needs at Gorgie City Farm in Edinburgh gave me an understanding of the importance of everyone having agency within their lives. These experiences have crystallised my feeling that local collective community activity can provide support and connection and build networks. I’m hopeful that Community Energy Scotland initiatives can act as a platform for community cohesion and growth.
Whilst working, I did an Open University degree in Environmental Sciences, gaining an understanding of the challenges and possible ways of mitigating the climate crisis. I am keen to bring this learning to the climate accounting and creating action plans to support the diverse island communities. I’m from Glasgow, currently live in Edinburgh, and have been lucky to live both in Orkney, the Highlands and other rural places. I always find the resilience and knowledge base within local communities inspiring.
I’m happiest when walking up hills to enjoy the exercise, the views and fresh perspective!

The chemistry of lawn care
At the end of the day, lawn care is like love: it’s all about chemistry!
As your grass leaves grow and root networks develop, nutrients are drawn from the earth and converted into the vital materials that your lawn needs to thrive. This simple chemistry of grass growth is constantly changing the fertility and acidity of your soil, so from time to time you’ll need to add a little nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium to keep things in balance.
Nitrogen / Nitrates
Without nitrogen, plants can’t create chlorophyll, the miracle pigment that makes grass green and enables the whole process of photosynthesis. Nitrogen is one of the most plentiful elements on earth – it makes up more than three quarters of the air we breathe – but plants can only absorb it by drawing nitrates and ammonia from the soil. When your lawn’s nitrate and ammonia levels start to decline, that’s when you’ll start to see signs of nitrogen deprivation in your lawn, such as chlorosis (a condition where your grass can’t produce enough chlorophyll and the grass turns yellow). A nitrogen infusion can transform the look of your lawn, but it must be applied with care, and at the right pace, otherwise you can encourage lawn diseases and burnt foliage. At Lawnkeeper, we use either a fast-release, controlled-release or organic nitrogen treatment, depending on what your lawn needs at any given moment.
Phosphorus / Phosphates
While nitrogen is important for what happens above the surface of the soil, grass needs phosphorus to build strong root networks underground. The stronger your lawn’s roots, the better – grass with deep roots can withstand typical British drought and frost conditions and can recover from damage quickly. To improve phosphorus levels in your soil, we apply a phosphate treatment, which the grass then absorbs and converts into new growth.
We add phosphorus sparingly to most lawns; it doesn’t wash away as easily as nitrogen or potassium, and established grass doesn’t need much of it to survive. New grass will draw a lot of phosphorus from the soil when it’s taking hold (for instance, after a re-seeding or turfing treatment), but once the new lawn’s root network is established and the initial growth period has drawn to a close, phosphorus levels in the soil remain fairly static – we rarely need to top up. In fact, too much phosphorus can feed algae growth, so we only add phosphates when they’re needed.
Potassium, also known as potash, is a key ingredient for well-fed, healthy grass. Plants use potassium to absorb water from the soil and create the sugars they need to flourish and fight off disease. Heavy rainfall can wash potassium out of your soil, so a regular ‘top-up’ of potash is often worth doing. Potassium needs to be added sparingly — too much of it can destroy the slightly acidic environment your grass needs to grow – so it’s best to get a professional to apply it.

We can diagnose the chemical imbalances and deficiencies that might be holding your lawn back from its natural rich green state, and we’ve got a range of treatments to put it right.

For five years, James Tarkowski and Ben Mee formed the backbone of Burnley’s Premier League stay.
Ever since Michael Keane departed in the summer of 2017, the defensive partnership became the consistent foundation they built their campaigns upon.
Yet it is becoming increasingly likely that not just one but both players will not be wearing Burnley’s claret and blue colours next season.
The Athletic has learned that Burnley are expecting Mee to leave this summer and not sign a new contract. The centre-back is understood to have options of where to go next.
Despite preliminary discussions taking place during the season and the understanding that Burnley offered fresh terms on more than one occasion, the feeling was Mee wanted to focus on the situation on the pitch and try to help the club remain in the Premier League before making any final decision.
The defender was unable to contribute on the field during the run-in after suffering a hairline fracture on his fibula against Leicester City in March, despite his best efforts to return to fitness.
Instead, following former manager Sean Dyche’s departure in April, Mee was asked to form part of the coaching staff under interim manager Mike Jackson. He was integral, providing the bridge between dressing room and coaches as well as contributing to video analysis and game planning.
The defender recorded a short video in the days following the final game that condemned Burnley to relegation and was coy on his future, with the player wanting to take time to mull over the decision. However, the feeling inside the club is that his time at Burnley has come to an end.
Started writing a post but felt right to just say it. Thanks for all the support this season. UTC pic.twitter.com/XBYwTxnYlN
— Ben Mee (@Ben6Mee) May 23, 2022
It would bring an end to an excellent career at the club for Mee, who celebrated 10 years at Burnley earlier this year after signing for the club permanently in January 2012 following an initial loan period under Eddie Howe.
He has been an incredible servant, conducting himself impeccably on and off the pitch — especially in recent years during Project Restart and speaking eloquently about being “ashamed and embarrassed” by a “White Lives Matter” banner that was flown over Turf Moor. He has developed a strong connection with the club and the town and it will hurt him that, as things stand, he will depart on a disappointing note.
Tarkowski’s situation, on the other hand, has been clear for some time after he made his intentions clear during the 2020-21 campaign that he wanted control of his future and therefore planned to run his contract down and become a free agent.
After being involved in two consecutive summers of transfer speculation in which significant transfer offers were rejected from the likes of Leicester and West Ham — as well as turning down contract offers which he felt failed to reflect his value — it was seen as his only way to leave and increase his chance of moving to a club with European ambitions. That’s where he wants to test himself, and he has still not given up on getting back into Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Throughout the season his focus was not on his future and, while clubs began to register their interest in the 29-year-old, he was not distracted by it. He promised Dyche at the start of the season he would give everything when it could have been easy to down tools. He even played through the pain barrier, returning quickly for the final two games — against advice — from a hamstring tear that should have ended his season.
His commitment to the cause should never have been questioned. A short dip in form brought unwarranted criticism that hurt the defender. His only aim last season was to help Burnley survive — he has made plenty of friends during his time at the club and he did not want to depart on a relegation. He was arguably Burnley’s player of the season and was one of the key reasons why they were in a position to survive on the final day.
He took his time leaving the pitch following the final day defeat to Newcastle, slowly rising from a crouched position in a centre circle to applaud all four stands as they showed their own appreciation.
Tarkowski is currently on holiday; when he returns talks will ramp up and he will make the final decision on his next club.
It has not stopped him being linked to a number of teams, with Everton and Aston Villa believed to be the frontrunners. Leicester, Newcastle and West Ham are also understood to be keeping an eye on the situation as well as two further unnamed Premier League clubs. There has been interest from abroad, but Tarkowski is understood to want to stay in England.
Mee and Tarkowski are two of nine players coming to the end of their contracts. Phil Bardsley and Dale Stephens will also depart but the future of Matej Vydra, who the club have offered a contract to, Ashley Barnes, Aaron Lennon, Erik Pieters and Jack Cork are all still undecided.
The Athletic understands that Burnley have not triggered the one year contract extension option in Cork’s contract. It is understood to be a player-controlled option based on a set number of appearances made. The midfielder is still thought to be open to staying at the club.
While there will be a new manager and division to play in next season, the departure of Tarkowski and Mee is as big a symbol as any of the changing times and end of an era at Burnley.
No longer will we see the pair head, kick and throw their bodies at everything coming their way to do whatever they could to stop the ball going into the net.
Their defensive statistics regularly put them towards the top of Premier League’s charts, and their impressive clean sheet records further highlighted their performance. They were one of the best partnerships in the league and should be remembered as such.
It is not just their presence and quality on the pitch that is going to be missed. The defenders are two of the biggest leaders in the Burnley dressing room and they will leave two huge holes to fill.
As captain and vice captain, they set standards with how they conducted themselves and the respect that they commanded. Players, for example, would occasionally seek out Mee rather than go to the coaching staff with personal issues.
It is hard to be too critical of either moving on to try and test themselves. Both are established Premier League players and deserve to perform at that level, especially as they approach the later stages of their careers — Mee turns 33 in September. It will hurt supporters to see them playing elsewhere.
It may in fact be all of the “holy trinity” who depart this summer, with goalkeeper Nick Pope expected to leave and the club believing it is likely to be impossible to stop it.
With his World Cup ambitions, the 30-year-old wants to play in the Premier League to give himself the best chance of making the squad in November, even if that means being a number two at a top six club. However, reports of Southampton’s interest are understood to be wide of the mark.
Unless the situation changes, Burnley are facing the reality of having only two senior centre-backs in their squad in Kevin Long and Nathan Collins, as well as youngster Bobby Thomas who spent last season on the fringes of the first-team squad.
A significant squad overhaul is planned but without Mee, finding a partner to play alongside the exciting Collins has to be a key priority for the incoming manager.

Looking for ways to improve your skin and appearance in a more natural way?
The month of May we are offering $30 off your first acupuncture facial rejuvenation treatment, and $15 off a follow up visit. If you have ever been curious about giving it a try, this is a great opportunity to try this natural and effective treatment for improving the appearance of your skin.
Kathy, Katie and Lauren have all been through additional education specifically aimed at improving the look and health of your skin. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture has been used for centuries and is deeply rooted in Chinese Medicine. This style of acupuncture amplifies your natural beauty, nourishing overall skin health and decreasing severity of skin conditions. Facial acupuncture is a type of acupuncture that’s specifically designed to improve the appearance and health of the skin.
If you’re thinking about trying facial acupuncture, here’s what you need to know:
What to expect
Your first appointment will likely last about an hour to 90 minutes. It starts by your acupuncturist talking with you about your goals for the treatment, a brief medical history and any current health conditions. Then they examine your face and determine a treatment plan, including how many treatments may benefit you the most and product recommendations.
The needles used in facial acupuncture are very thin and are inserted just under the skin. This will stimulate collagen and elastin production by creating a microtrauma to the tissue. You may feel a slight pinch when the needles are inserted, but most people find the treatment to be relatively painless.
A typical full treatment course is five to ten treatments, spaced 1 week apart, to see your best results.
What are the benefits?
Facial acupuncture offers a number of benefits, including:
- Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
- Improving skin tone and texture
- Relieving puffiness
- Boosting collagen production
- Reducing stress and anxiety
Is it safe?
Facial acupuncture is safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. However, as with any medical treatment, there are some potential risks, with the most common being bruising.
Additional techniques used?
Along with acupuncture, we use LED light therapy during your treatment to assist in the treatment goals. LED light therapy uses different wavelengths or colors of light to penetrate the skin. This type of light therapy has been shown to reduce mild-moderate acne, boost collagen production, speed wound healing, and reduce inflammation.
A truly holistic treatment, facial acupuncture benefits the whole body while it rejuvenates the skin. You will likely see increased energy and improved sleep, and you may even notice that you’re thinking a bit more clearly, and able to handle that stress a little bit better. The process of facial acupuncture is relaxing, giving you a deep rest, and the benefits build over time.
We’re excited to offer our acupuncture facial rejuvenation special during the month of May. If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, Book your appointment today!
