In a hearing before the Pennsylvania Senate Game and Fisheries committee held yesterday at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center, Chuck Murray, a fisheries biologist with the PA Fish and Boat Commission's Lake Erie Research Unit, told Senators Richard Alloway and Sean Wiley that the commission intends to petition the legislature to enact a $150 fine per fish for any round goby found in a bait shop's retail tank, in what they are calling a policy of "zero tolerance."
This request is just one part of a plan to tighten regulations after it was confirmed in August that round gobies – an aggressive, invasive fish species – were living and breeding in Lake LeBoeuf, in Waterford, a body of water that empties into French Creek.
French Creek, designated by the Nature Conservancy as "One of America's Last Great Places," is one of the most biologically diverse streams in the United States. The stream hosts 27 of the 65 freshwater mussel species, more than 80 fish species and harbors 19 threatened and endangered species, including four endangered mussels.
Round gobies love to eat mussels.
Besides the possibility of gobies gobbling up the last remaining freshwater mussels, another concern is French Creek's connection to the Mississippi River's watershed. Although round gobies have already raided that waterway through the Calumet and Chicago Rivers connected to Lake Michigan, they have only reached as far south as Bath, Illinois, approximately 200 miles down the Illinois River from Chicago. If round gobies were able to make their way through the Ohio River's watershed, it is feared that the two populations could hit the lower Mississippi with double the strength.
Round gobies, a native of the Black and Caspian Seas, were first discovered in 1990 in the St. Clair River between Lakes Huron and Erie, believed to be delivered here unknowingly in the ballast water of oceangoing vessels. The electric "fence" placed in the Chicago River that experts are hoping with keep Asian carp species from entering the Great Lakes was first developed in an attempt to keep round gobies out of the Mississippi River. They didn't get it working in time. Read more about the round goby and other non-native aquatic invasive species here. And check out the Nature Conservancy's map that shows the spread of the round goby from 1991 through 2013.
The PAFBC's new $150 fine is part of a larger initiative that includes education and outreach, assessment, research, management and enforcement of existing regulations. Currently, the PA Fish and Boat Code prohibits possession or transportation of an non-native species and anyone caught with a live round goby faces fines and penalties.
New educational outreach is planned, and will be conducted in concert with multiple partners statewide. It include media campaigns, signage, bait dealer education, school curriculums, public presentations, and the publication of fact sheets, watch cards, and more for distributions to anglers, particularly in this part of the state.
Right now, the only regional waters that contain the goby are Lake Erie, Lake LeBoeuf, and the Fairview Gravel Pit. If found there, anglers are to kill and dispose of the fish in a waste receptacle. If anglers find a goby in any other body of water, the PAFBC is asking them to kill it, freeze it, and call the PFBC at 814.474.1515. Reports can also be sent and photos uploaded to the PAFBC website.
Any angler who wishes to learn more about the protocols for preventing transport of any invasive species, both plants and animals should visit the PAFBC website to learn about the "Clean Your Gear" campaign.
Check for and remove plants, mud, and aquatic life from fishing gear and boats before leaving any body of water.
Drain water from boat, live well, bilge, and bait bucket before transporting a boat.
Dry everything for at least several days.
Do not move any plants or animals from one waterway to another.
Do not use round gobies as bait.
The PAFBC has much research, assessment, and management ahead. Official say that chemical applications to kill the gobies (and lots of other fish, too) are a last resort, but they will use them if they have to. With an appreciable number of round gobies already being found in LeBoeuf Creek which joins Lake LeBoeuf, with French Creek, right now is the time for anglers and bait vendor to step up and take responsibility.

We packed up the car and headed to one of Kelli’s Sylvan centers. Derek was going to talk to her directors about reading before we headed home. The kids and I played in a conference room and then walked down to Lakeshore store. After Derek finished talking, Kelli realized that her purse had been stolen. We tried to help her call people to get her phone stopped, etc… It was a mess and I felt so bad. We ended up leaving the center at about 12:15 and went over to the McDonald’s for lunch before heading home. We later found out that Kelli’s purse was found at that same McDonald’s in the men’s restroom. How crazy would it have been if Derek had been the one to find it?! We left McDonald’s at 1:00, stopped for gas, and were on our way. The kids both fell asleep for awhile and then watched movies. We made it to Roscoe by 5:30. We made Stuckey time that day! We didn’t even stop…just kept driving and driving and driving. I have no idea where I get that from. Dad, do you know? hahaha We ate supper and then Derek took the other car and headed home. The kids and I stayed over and I was glad to not have to drive the rest of the way home.
Today was the big day. Derek, Abby, Cade and I went to Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America. It is only about 10 minutes from Kelli and Eric’s house and we got there shortly after it opened at 10am. The kids both got an unlimited arm band and we got started. Cade liked the Big Rigs and Carousel the best and Abby’s favorites were the carousel, ferris wheel, Balloon Race, Back at the Barnyard Hayride roller coaster, and Wonder Pets Flyboat. Let’s just say that she pretty much liked all of them. We spent the morning riding and then had lunch at the foodcourt. We had McDonald’s and Sabarro. After lunch we went back to riding more rides. There were no lines and we could pretty much get off and right back on if we wanted to. The kids played at the LegoLand and I did some Christmas and birthday shopping for Jonah. The kids reenergized with some Superman icecream and then more rides. I think it was after 4:00 before we left. Cade fell asleep before we were even out of the parking garage. Abby stayed awake and we wanted it that way so that she would go to bed early. We had chicken tacos for supper and enjoyed our last evening with Kelli and Eric.
Today was a lazy day. We mostly sat around the house and took it easy. The kids and I picked up Derek from the conference at 5:00 and hit about the worst traffic ever trying to get out of the downtown. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, or just because we really like the place, we met Kelli at Pepito’s for supper. It is just a mile down the street from Kelli’s. Abby was tired and didn’t really want to eat, so we let her order fried icecream for supper. Cade had a Joey, which was peanut butter, jelly, and bananas on a tortilla. I had the best taco EVER! I have had some really good tacos in my life, but for the 2nd time, this taco really is the BEST EVER! I had beef taco on a hard shell with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and relish…pickle relish! It is so good. Anyway, I will stop going on and on about the BEST TACO EVER! Abby didn’t like her fried icecream, so I had to eat that for her. It is no wonder I had a stomach ache later for as fast as I ate the BEST TACO EVER and the fried icecream. After supper Kelli, Abby, and I decided to walk to the park while Derek and Cade took the van. About 5 or 10 minutes down the road, Derek had to come and get us because it started raining.
Derek had more conferences and Eric had more work. Kelli was working from home, so it was just me and the kids. We left the house at about 10:30 and went to a park near Lake Minnehaha. I took the scenic route, but we made it! When we got there, I spread out our picnic blanket and got out the food. Cade helped me while Abby played. We ate lunch and enjoyed the beautiful day. After lunch, the kids played on the equipment. Then we put our stuff in the van and got out the stroller for a walk by the lake. Abby wanted to swim in it, but we decided that wading might be better. I didn’t feel it, but she said it was cold. We made it back to Kelli’s at about 1:00. Kelli had some late meetings and Eric was still at work, so the kids and I picked Derek up from the conference (I took the scenic route again!) and found a place to park downtown. We walked along the old milling disctrict and out onto a foot bridge over the river. Then we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for supper. I love it! We sat in the train and Cade had a booster seat because he couldn’t have a high chair in the train. It worked out fine. Abby had mac & cheese and applesauce. Cade had spaghetti and applesauce. He fed himself with his spoon. He really did a good job, but it was still VERY messy. All of the food was good and we all ended the meal with the yummy spumoni icecream. After supper we headed back to Kelli and Eric’s. It was almost 7 by the time we got there.
Derek had his first day of the IRA Conference today and Eric had to work. Kelli and I took the kids to Como Zoo in St. Paul. We got there shortly after it opened at 10am. It was fun to watch Cade notice the animals and to growl at them. He really enjoyed himself. Abby had been to many zoos since she was quite young and she had a great time too. Attached to the zoo is an amusement park called Como Town. There are rides just like at a carnival. Kelli bought some tickets and Abby rode a bunch of rides. Cade was going to ride the train, but then he fell asleep. The kids ate a picnic lunch in the double stroller and then we looked around some more. We saw a baby giraffe and a baby orangutan. Abby thought that was pretty special. We left at about 1:00 and I was glad that we had gotten there early. People were fighting, well arguing, over parking spaces. Abby fell asleep on the way back to Kelli’s, but she woke up when we got there. Derek came back before supper and we ate on the deck again.
We left Roscoe at a few minutes before 9am. We had a pretty uneventful drive, which is a good thing, and stopped at McDonald’s for lunch on the way there. We pulled into Kelli and Eric’s at about 3:00. The kids played outside and we visited and enjoyed the nice weather. We had a nice cook out for supper and ate outside on the deck.

All pasta should be cooked 'al dente' to really appreciate it. These are the magic words in Italian cooking – it means 'to a bite', and refers to the slight resistance to the bite when eaten. When boiling pasta, look for the tiniest core of white to double-check it's al dente.
This recipe will make a range of pasta using your Cooking Chef – from large rectangles of lasagne to thin strips of tagliatelle.
Put the flour, salt, oil and eggs into the bowl of the machine. Attach the Spiral Dough Hook and set the speed to 1-2 and knead for 2 minutes or until the dough comes together. Place the dough onto the work surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in cling film and rest for 30 minutes.
Reduce the thickness of the roller by 1, sprinkle some more semolina if needed, and feed the pasta through again. Continue to reduce the thicknessuntil the required thickness has been achieved.
If you are planning to cut the pasta using the other pasta attachments then leave the pasta to dry slightly for 30 minutes before cutting. Then cut into appropriate length (for example 30 cm) and place on a pasta rack to dry.
To cook the pasta, fill the bowl with salted water and bring to a rolling boil – then add the pasta. Check it after 6 minutes, and once cooked drain in a colander.
Substitute 100g of the pasta flour for 100g of wholemeal flour.
Add 150g of sautéed spinach, having squeezed the excess liquid from the spinach, chop in the Food Processor Attachment using the Knife Blade then add to the pasta mix.

What kind of facilities does ECBC have?
ECBC currently meets at Holiday Plaza in a store front space on the second floor, directly across from the elevator.We have a worship area, in addition to a gathering room which also functions as a nursery and children’s church area.We have available one bathroom in our unit, as well as two Holiday Plaza public restrooms downstairs.
Although ECBC is an old fashioned conservative church, Pastor Tim Braddock is more concerned with your spiritual state than your appearance. You will notice most of the women choose to wear modest skirts or dresses and the men in suits or dockers, but we want you to feel welcome no matter how you dress.
ECBC clings to the old ways. We sing from hymnals instead of from screens. Our music is conservative yet lively rather than contemporary.
ECBC uses the King James Version Bible. If you do not have a bible, we will provide one for you to use during the service.
Does ECBC have a nursery?
Yes, as needed. Our gathering room also functions as a nursery area during services.

If in the end we are but dust and vapor, then may our dust be fertile and our vapor pure. May we grace gardens and orchards and coastlines. May we intertwine and find each others atoms in the fruit that grows, the flowers that bloom, the waves that crash.

When Mentone station was built, a strip of land on the ‘upside’, adjacent to the station, was left vacant. Eventually, after the new building was erected in 1914, trees, shrubs and other plants were put in place throughout what then became the ‘station gardens’.
Mentone Railway Station from Kilbreda Tower.
This small park was altered in content a few times over the last ninety years or so, the biggest change being the building of several shops at the southern end in the mid-thirties, each having a frontage on Como Parade West. This reduced the size of the station gardens. For many decades the remaining gardens offered a space for passive recreation, and the tall Norfolk Island pine tree with the palm trees alongside became quite a picturesque backdrop to the shopping centre. It came as quite a shock when all this was threatened with extinction in 2002.
In the early months of 2002, rumours and then definitive statements began to circulate in Mentone that the railway station gardens were to be re-developed into a Transport Interchange facility that would take buses off Como Parade West into a large terminal with covered waiting areas. The justification for this plan concerned making the area in front of shops more open for car parking, and free of noise from the many coaches that stopped there for passengers. It soon became obvious that the Bracks State Government had allocated money for this project as part of its scheme to get people off the roads and on to public transport.
Back in March 2000, Peter Batchelor, as Transport Minister, had issued plans for bus/rail interchanges at several stations including one at Mentone. Kingston Council, in 2001, set up a Transport Interchange Advisory Committee to discuss details of the projected structure. State Government had allocated $200,000 (later raised to $300,000) for the scheme to go ahead with an equal amount to be spent by Kingston Council. The advisory committee included Council officers, Councillors, the Mentone Chamber of Commerce and other shopkeepers directly affected by the new Interchange.
By October 2001, the Mentone Transport Advisory Committee was fully developed and its members included: Trevor Clarke, Brad Garfield, Julian Harding, Mark Pearman, Barry Squire, Richard Atkinson and Geoff Russell (all traders), and Topsey Petchey, Cameron Bragg, Robert Stainforth, Warren Ashdown and Tony Rijs (Councillors and Council staff). Nigel Lawson, a traffic consultant, was co-opted as well.
Discussions went on throughout 2001 and 2002 with six detailed plans for the Interchange being considered. There was no agreement on the best option. One plan had only the southbound buses entering the new facility on what is the station gardens site. Other options involved all of the buses using the Interchange. All of the schemes were complicated by the need to change traffic light operation and allow for pedestrian safety around the terminal. The plans were submitted to bus companies, Ventura and Grenda, for their perusal, as well as being looked at by the bus drivers’ union representatives.
It should be said that many of the Mentone traders supported the proposal. The Mentone Chamber of Commerce fully backed the Interchange construction, its president, Ian Shiell, saying that it would improve pedestrian safety, stop bus exhaust fumes from wafting into the nearby shops, and improve lighting near the station, as well as adding beautification to the area. He said that only one tree would be lost as the palms would be replanted at one end of the facility together with extra trees. However, the Council’s advisory committee had one or two dissenters who opposed the plan. Foremost was Julian Harding, the owner of Alfred Moore Hairdressing, who opposed the whole idea of altering the gardens, saying the trees added character to Mentone with their picturesque backdrop to the shopping centre.
By mid-2002, the plans for the changes at Mentone Station became more widely known and people outside the domain of the shopkeepers and the Council became concerned about what was being planned. Julian Harding was a key part of this and he attracted the support of the Mordialloc and District Historical Society whose members unanimously opposed the terminal construction. One member, Sheila Johnston, a Mentone resident since 1930, rallied other older Mentone people to fight against the destruction of the gardens. As the latter half of 2002 began, in Mentone there was an undercurrent of uncertainty, disappointment and even distrust over the prospect of this huge change to the hub of the town.
The Transport Interchange dispute became a hot political issue during the latter half of the year. Sensing community disapproval of the plan, Geoff Leigh, the Shadow Transport Minister, began to make strong condemnations of what the government, and Peter Batchelor in particular, had put forward. In July, a Leader article quoted Leigh using very strong language to condemn the plan, saying that the Bracks Government was committed to the construction come what may. He attacked Batchelor, the Transport Minister, for not considering a terminal on the other side of the station that would leave the gardens untouched. During the next few months the issue was discussed in many forums and formal opposition increased through petitions and letters to local papers. Mentone-Parkdale Village Committee and the historical society were quoted in the Mordialloc-Chelsea Leader voicing strong opposition. Dorothy Booth, as chairperson of the Mentone-Parkdale Village Committee, contacted Topsey Petchey, the Mayor, and the Council administrators asking them to inform the public about what was planned for the Mentone Station development. She was expressing the concern that many others felt, an awareness that planning was going on involving only a few insiders, possibly leading to a fait accompli. The gardens and the stately trees would be bulldozed and no one would have had a chance to do anything about it.
Kingston Council debated the issue throughout this period, trying to produce a solution that would suit those who wanted a new terminal as well as those who wanted the trees kept safe. In September and October the plans were modified, but the Mayor, Topsey Petsey, remained uncertain whether they satisfied those who had objected to the scheme and the council still did not give its approval, despite some councillors being in favour of the development. A complicating factor was the creation by Council at that time of a Significant Trees and Vegetation Register. People argued that the station trees were highly significant and could not be sacrificed when others, less significant, were being protected. It was pointed out that the Canary Island palm and the Norfolk Island pines had been planted at least 80 years ago and were significant to Mentone’s environment.
Up until November, Peter Batchelor’s department seemed determined to go ahead with the terminal despite opposition to the latest plans by a local member of the ALP government, Janice Munt. She wanted a terminal, but not at the expense of the trees, and sought assurances from Peter Batchelor that the Interchange would not be built at the expense of the valuable trees near the station. Murray Thompson, a local Liberal member of State Parliament, expressed disapproval of the scheme, supporting his colleague, Geoff Leigh.
By the end of October, there was still no certainty over the building of the Transport Terminal. There was a feeling abroad that the Government would push the scheme through, regardless of public opinion. Yet there were also rumours that it could be scrapped. Opponents of the proposal wanted a straight-out removal of the scheme from the Government’s works program: they wanted certainty. A group that included Julian Harding, Sheila Johnston, Betty Rodstead and ex-Mayor, Reg Marlow, had worked solidly throughout 2002 to organise the opposition to any destruction of the station gardens. Letters to the press, personal contacts and a petition that ended up containing 1000 signatures all raised the profile of the dispute over the Interchange plan. One of the people brought into the campaign was Garry Spencer, an ex-military man who applied his organising skills to the struggle over the protection of the gardens. During October-November, he organised a large letterbox-drop in the Mentone area to publicise a rally planned for the 23rd November. He contacted a range of people to make them aware of the imminent loss of the station gardens. People were informed that the gardens were still at risk as neither Kingston Council nor the State Government had made a firm decision on the project and were procrastinating, seemingly watching what each other was doing and noting the growing angry community response to the scheme. On the Saturday morning of the rally, Julian Harding and others erected big banners in the station gardens, while the trees were bedecked with yellow ribbons. Garry Spencer arranged for helpers to hand out rally leaflets in Mentone supermarkets and on street corners. A crowd of 300 gathered in the station gardens from 10am onwards. No one from the State Government department that planned the Interchange accepted the invitation to speak in support of it, nor did the leaders of the Mentone Chamber of Commerce or any of its trader members. Janice Munt, local ALP member, stated the project would not go ahead without wide community support, while both Geoff Leigh and Murray Thompson, Opposition members, spoke to condemn the whole project. Elizabeth Larking, for Kingston Council, stated that the council had not committed itself to the development and called for it to be reviewed. Garry Spencer called the proposal an act of vandalism on the station gardens and appealed to people to keep up the opposition to the plan while there was still time.
Shortly after this November rally the Kingston Council informed Dorothy Booth, Chairperson of the Mentone/Parkdale Village Committee, that in view of the shortage of open space in Mentone, and the opposition to possible removal of parts of the century-old station gardens, the Council had abandoned plans for the Transport Interchange and would be informing the State Government of this decision. This effectively killed the Interchange plan, despite some vague statements early in 2003 that the Government was still intent on upgrading the station facilities. The group led by Garry Spencer had won its fight to save the open garden space. Loosely, it had been known as the ‘Committee for the preservation of the trees and gardens at Mentone Station’, a rather unwieldy title. Already at the rally someone had called the group the ‘Friends of Mentone Station Gardens’ and this title caught on. Key members of the group continued to meet informally and to do clean-up work at the station, particularly the removal of litter and the weeding of garden sections. After the holiday break, in the early months of 2003, several of the ‘Friends’ met for meals at Mentone RSL to discuss action that could help maintain the station’s profile. Out of these discussions came the decision to create an official incorporated entity that would seek new members and design a coherent plan for the protection and upkeep of the Mentone Station and its garden surroundings.
On April 29th 2003, a meeting took place at the Old Bakery Museum to officially form ‘The Friends of Mentone Station and Gardens’. At that meeting, aims and possible procedures were discussed and the committee officially formed. It consisted of: Garry Spencer (Chairman), Dorothy Booth (Vice Chairman), Penny McGuire-White (Secretary), Reg Marlow (Treasurer) and committee members, Shirley Straker, Betty Rodstead, Sheila Johnston and Jeff Pickerd.
This foundation meeting was attended by two Kingston councillors, Bill Nixon and Rosemary West. Two other council officers came, as did a representative from Keep Australia Beautiful, Brian Klemm. That organisation showed great interest in the Mentone project, because at that very time they were campaigning to have local groups adopt railway stations and beautify them in any way they could. The ‘Friends’ joined this Stationeers campaign.
Developing a master plan with the cooperation of the Victorian Government and Kingston Council for ongoing maintenance and improvement of the station and gardens.
As if to underline the importance of a ‘Friends’ group being formed, just prior to Christmas in 2002, several gum trees on the down side of the station had been cut down by the state government authority that ran railway infrastructure. Dorothy Booth’s letter of complaint over this was answered with the information that the trees had been damaged by storms several weeks earlier and could not be preserved. People disputed whether the trees really were dangerous or not viable; the need for a group to protect the station environs seemed more vital.
Once the Friends of Mentone Station and Gardens became a group with a committee and an agenda, several other actions followed. The ‘Friends’ became incorporated, a bank account was established, and new stakeholders were brought into the membership that grew to over fifty. Led by Garry Spencer, and with Dorothy Booth pushing the ‘Friends’ cause at every opportunity, progress was fast and very effective. Monthly working bees began whereby group members cleaned up litter, pruned plants, weeded garden beds and treated the station and its gardens as a special public asset. There were contacts with the Kingston Council’s garden staff in relation to the care of the lawns, trees and garden beds that had been saved. Dorothy Booth also talked to many people in authority to gain support. M Train, the station owners, provided a small room on the upside for tools and other items to be stored. She procured $850 from a Federal Government Grants program that allowed many tools to be purchased for the Friends to use in their maintenance work. This allowed the working bee activity to include painting and other minor repair work. Graffiti was effaced as quickly as possible to discourage the sprayers, while taped classical music began to be broadcast over the station speakers on a continuous basis. Apart from its calming effect on commuters, it was thought that the loutish element might not appreciate it and go elsewhere for whatever questionable activities they had in mind. (Somewhere in the USA, owners of a shopping complex had discovered that playing Bing Crosby records over the PA had reduced the number of young troublemakers in the malls.) A local business provided afternoon tea for the working bee volunteers and this was just one example of how Dorothy Booth and Garry Spencer sought to gain the interest and support of local businesses and citizens.
During 2003, the committee arranged for insurance for all of its members, especially those on working bee activity, and also applied for the status of an incorporated body. The Certificate of Incorporation was issued on 4th December of the foundation year.
Station groups from other suburbs contacted the ‘Friends’ to be informed about what was happening at Mentone and how to implement changes. Dorothy Booth visited other groups to give advice on what actions could help make their stations better. The ‘Friends’ committee also secured an agreement with the railway authorities to staff Mentone station from 5am until 5pm on all weekdays. It should be remembered that during the 1990s the State Government had removed staff from many stations, and reduced hours of staffing on others.
In September 2003, a gathering in the Mentone Station gardens heard the mayor, Arthur Athanasopoulos, introduce State Minister, Mary Delahunty, who announced a Pride of Place grant of $30,000 for a major upgrade of the station and its surrounds. This was to be supplemented with $40,000 from Kingston Council. A wide range of community leaders heard speeches praising the work of the ‘Friends’ as a fine example of community involvement for the benefit of a local environment. Councillors, traders, police, railway executives and many others were solidly behind what the ‘Friends’ had worked for. The Transport Interchange was forgotten, seemingly by some of its erstwhile strongest supporters.
To apply for heritage listing of the Mentone Station and Gardens.
Some of these objectives have been achieved in the last decade, but some, notably the regular involvement of the schools, have not. The ‘Friends’ moved on to 2004 very confident that they had brought welcome changes to the way citizens regarded the town’s transport hub. There was an optimistic view for future improvements.
Very early in 2004, ‘Friends’ adopted a distinctive logo for use in all notices and correspondence. There had been a debate for some time over this issue, but the logo that was chosen looked so appropriate and appealing that it soon became an asset for the work of the group. Dorothy Booth had enlisted help from an ex-colleague, Pam Barrett, a Graphics teacher at Aquinas College. She produced several designs, but the one chosen, featuring a train and a tree, was a winning one in all respects.
As the ‘Friends’ moved into their second year of activity, their work began to be noticed in the appearance of the green space at Mentone’s station hub. Gardens on the upside looked great, a result of liaison with the Kingston parks and gardens staff. Graffiti was removed very quickly and litter as well. During 2004, the Pride of Place funding allowed new paving, seating and steps up to the walkway entrance. Paths were improved and more vegetation was planted. The ‘Friends’ had input with the planners of this whole upgrade. By the end of the year the work was almost done, and despite some disagreements on minor parts of the renovation, the upside gardens and amenities looked better than ever. The Garryowen horse trough was planted with annual flowers that added a splash of colour, while working bees each month continued to achieve a neat and tidy appearance around the station environs.
During 2004, thanks to the ability of Dorothy Booth and Garry Spencer to persuade other people and organisations to join the ‘Friends’ campaign, there was an established coterie of willing supporters. Bunnings had supplied many tools for working bee activity, Safeway donated afternoon teas, Connex staff were cooperative, Kingston Council Outdoor staff helped, Cheltenham Police appreciated the ‘Friends’ fight against graffiti and vandalism, while local politicians of both major parties were eager to be seen as supporters of this community effort. Murray Thompson, Janice Munt, Ann Corcoran and Mitch Fifield together represented State and Federal government levels, and all praised the ‘Friends’. With all these people onside, the ‘Friends’ gained confidence and great work went on. The bags of litter, after working bee activity, were taken away promptly, Council provided mulch for garden beds, Connex staff alerted Dorothy Booth quickly about graffiti which was removed that same day, and police increased their surveillance of the station.
On Australia Day of 2004, Shirley Straker, an enthusiastic member of ‘Friends’, was named as Kingston’s Citizen of the Year. The Mordialloc-Chelsea Leader, announcing this, pictured her weeding garden beds with Pat Mutimer in the foreground of a working bee group. Just after this, in March, the ‘Friends’ and the Mordialloc Historical Society hosted a function, held next to the horse trough, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the tragic fire that killed Violet and Bill Murrell who were trying to save their horse, Garryowen, from the flames. Then, in October, the Mayor, a Connex executive and Garry Spencer introduced students from four local colleges who had agreed to paint murals that would decorate the shop wall in the station subway entrance. Kilbreda, Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls’ Secondary College and St Bede’s student artists would later devise artistic local illustrative panels that gave tasteful colour to the station entrance. Depicting local features such as the pier and the hotel, the artwork was in place before October ended. The four panels are still there, having largely resisted graffiti disfigurement.
The third year of the ‘Friends’ work began with plans for enhancing the appearance of the downside areas, mostly carparks in the old railway siding site. With advice from Jill Orr-Young, Kingston’s landscape architect, the working bees in mid-year planted hardy tussock grass in the dividing spaces between the car parking bays, and two peppercorn trees were placed in larger end spots. Thorough weeding and litter removal, plus lashings of mulch, smartened up the strip along the platform fence.
Towards the end of 2005, Dorothy Booth was able to achieve a creative solution to a distasteful problem that had gone on sporadically for years. Visible from the downside platforms, a line of back fences belonging to the residences in Station Street had often been covered in ugly graffiti, mainly senseless ‘tagging’. It often remained for long periods. Dorothy, with the approval and support of Kingston Council, approached the owners of adjacent properties with a plan. What if a tasteful series of ‘artistic’ panels could be sprayed on the fences? The sprayers would then be enlisted on the side of those who wanted a pleasant station precinct. After much negotiation, four ‘aerosol artists’ came on board and agreed to paint the long brick fence near the car park after the owner gave the approval. The result has been a series of colourful paintings showing old and new trains, the old signal box and other station scenes. It remains today and has been defaced only once, showing the respect that less reputable taggers have for it.
Early in 2005, the ‘Friends’ contacted Metlink, the controllers of railway signage, and asked that a special signboard be installed at Mentone Station. It was very soon a reality. The prominent sign above the main entrance informed people of the station and gardens’ foundation date and the fact that the whole facility had been placed on Kingston’s heritage register. For a while the wrong date was shown, but the ‘1882’ was soon changed to ‘1881’, signifying the arrival of the railway in the town just prior to Christmas that year.
Other matters that came under notice during the latter half of 2005 were repairs to some sections of the station buildings, the continual littering by people who ditched the free MX newspapers all over the station area, and the vast ugly graffiti on the back walls of shops that were adjacent to the upside platform. ‘Friends’ volunteers painted the shop walls late in the year so that travellers now had a brighter vista as they waited for the train. Mainco, station owners, also provided bins for the MX papers around this time and allowed ‘Friends’ members to fix small items of damage around the station. Two enthusiastic recruits to the committee, Neil Blacklaw and his wife, were examples of working bee members who wanted to become permanently involved.
The year ended with a pleasant Saturday morning session of singing by a select group of songstresses from Mentone Girls’ Secondary College, just before Christmas.
After the New Year festivities and holidays of summer 2006, the ‘Friends’ had another reason for celebration. The notification arrived that Mentone Station and Gardens had been given State Heritage listing. Several months earlier a deputation that included Dorothy Booth, Sheila Johnston, Pat Mutimer and Leo Gamble had presented the case for heritage recognition to a panel appointed by Heritage Victoria. Dorothy Booth and Leo Gamble spoke in detail about the station’s historical significance from the 1880s till the present time. Its role in Mentone’s creation, as well as its focal function in the town’s beach resort attractiveness, horseracing past, and ongoing educational community, place it at the centre of life in this district. These points were forcibly stated. The panel eventually agreed and now a plaque is displayed to inform station users of this status.
Dorothy Booth, who provided the main energy source for ‘Friends’ activity, was re-invigorated by the heritage news and work went on with eagerness as the year elapsed. Dorothy began appearing on Southern FM 88.3 to spread news of work at the station. In March, Dorothy organised entertainment in the gardens. The Mordialloc Jazz Orchestra played on a Saturday morning, providing a free concert with big band era music and vocals for the shoppers and others who wished to linger around the pleasant garden setting. Many attended and enjoyed the show. Dorothy had two things in mind with this program: to publicise the ‘Friends’ work and to establish in the public mind that the gardens were for community activities and were being used that way.
Mordialloc Historical Society at this time began to provide posters that illustrated stories from Mentone’s past and these went up in the waiting room for train patrons to read. This began a series of beautiful productions created by Tara Proussard at Parkdale Library, the number of editions, changed regularly, now over thirty. It seems that many people can be observed reading these stories, so the idea to create them was sound.
There was much more going on in 2006 as a result of ‘Friends’ work. The Garryowen Horse Trough was re-surfaced and painted, the ugly waste skip at the end of the car park was removed because it attracted dumped litter of all types, and the station received a welcome coat of paint. The Annual General Meeting for the ‘Friends’ was held in the Oakleigh Room, high up in the Council’s Cheltenham office building, the result of negotiations with the mayor, Cr Bill Nixon, who was a strong supporter of the group. Graham Whitehead, the City Historian, was guest speaker. The Oakleigh Room was also venue for the AGM in 2007 when a police officer, experienced in the control of graffiti vandals, spoke on many aspects of this problem.
As the ‘Friends’ worked through their fifth year, many more improvements to the station facilities occurred. The downside platform’s southern extremity, where disabled people had to board trains with driver assistance, was narrow and difficult for wheelchair users. After lobbying by ‘Friends’ members, the platform, which earlier had given a narrow extension for the longer new trains, was widened so that wheelchairs could be put on the trains more safely.
It became known during 2007 that Mentone was to be upgraded to ‘Premium Station’ status. This meant that there would be staff on duty from first to last trains each day and facilities put in place for extended booking of country and interstate train services. Illuminated signs on both platforms, with train times and destinations shown and updated as the day elapsed, informed travellers more satisfactorily. This ‘Premium’ upgrade was in place by Christmas 2007. So also was the bud lighting that went into the Norfolk Island pine and this has given a festive appearance to the gardens every night since.
The year ended with a disappointment; the customary free sausage sizzle had to be cancelled because of rain. Nevertheless, despite this minor hiccup, the ‘Friends’ looked back on a very productive twelve months of valuable activity.

Karpman Consulting performs energy analysis for LEED, incentive programs, tax credits, in support of energy audits, to evaluate design, and in research settings. An ASHRAE certified BEMP (Building Energy Modeling Professional) acts as the lead on every project.
The Bergami Hall (Innovation Center) at the University of New Haven is a new construction addition to the Buckman Building which aims for LEED 3.0 Gold certification. Karpman Consulting evaluated the overall progress towards the energy goals, while showing the importance of various end uses, and relative contributions of each components towards the total building energy savings. Karpman Consulting provided extensive design support throughout the project to influence the final energy efficient design.
This project is a high rise office building located in Tokyo, Japan. It serves as the headquarters of an international design-build firm. The project includes a number of innovative technologies that conserve energy. These include a green roof, curtain wall with integrated PV panels, double bundle heat recovery chillers, under floor air distribution, building energy management system, and daylighting and shades automatically controlled by the building management system.
Karpman Consulting performed LEED energy modeling to help achieve and document the maximum 10 points for Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1. Karpman Consulting also prepared an M&V plan and prepared documentation for LEED EA C5.
Gateway Commons is a mixed used building with retail stores on the first floor and twenty five apartments on the upper floors. Heating and air-conditioning is provided by water loop heat pump system with a roof-mounted three stage cooling tower and modulating gas-fired high-efficiency condensing boilers. Ventilation air is supplied to all units via a central energy recovery ventilator. Other features include energy efficient lighting and lighting controls, significant improvements to envelope, high-efficiency domestic hot water boiler, and others.

SUNY Building 25 recieved 16 points for LEED EA C1 under LEED BD+C: New Construction v3 - LEED 2009, and the project earned a LEED Platinum Certification.
Enfield High School is a secondary school in Enfield, CT. The school underwent a major renovation and addition, with an updated square footage of approximately 310,000 SF, and Karpman Consulting acted as the energy consultant on the project. In the early phases of the design process, Karpman Consulting modeled several HVAC system types under consideration, including chilled beams + DOAS, conventional VAV, and fan coil units + DOAS, evaluating each option in terms of energy performance. The project team ultimately selected the chilled beam system.
During the design development phase, Karpman Consulting conducted an additional modeling analysis that evaluated the project's progress towards its energy goals, and provided recommendations for cost-effective improvements to the design. Upon completion of the design, Karpman Consulting documented compliance with the state's High Performance Requirements, which mandated that publicly funded buildings exceed the energy code by at least 21%.
Washington Way is a multifamily complex with a total square footage of approximately 423,000 sf. Karpman Consulting conducted a Level 3 energy audit of the facility and performed hourly energy modeling to determine predicted energy savings from a variety of energy efficiency measures, including attic and crawl space insulation, condensing boilers, digital control systems, pipe insulation, and lighting improvements. Karpman Consulting developed an Energy Reduction Plan and documented the predicted energy savings for participation in the New Jersey Pay for Performance Program. Karpman Consulting also performed post-retrofit billing analysis to verify projected energy savings.

Noism05 became Japan’s first full-fledged public contemporary dance company when it was established in April of 2004 by Niigata City Performing Arts Center “Ryutopia,” inviting as its art director Jo Kanamori, a dancer who had performed at the cutting edge in the European dance scene. For the company’s first production, SHIKAKU, and its second, black ice, Kanamori served as choreographer and director, while also inviting young architects, composers and contemporary artists to collaborate in the productions. The resulting new ideas and the overall compositional strength of these productions quickly established Noism05 as one of Japan’s leading companies.
The company’s third and newest work Triple Bill commissions work from three of the most talent choreographers active in Japan today. The three choreographers are highly individualistic artists with styles completely different from Kanamori. They are Ryohei Kondo, director of the highly popular Condors group known for their comical choreography and variety type production, Ikuyo Kuroda, leader of the all-female dance company BATIK and former Frankfurt Ballet Company member Alessio Silvestrin, and artist known for his strengths in motion image, music and visual art expression. Attention focuses on this new work for the strength of the Noism05 company with Kanamori participating as a dancer and the potential of their collaboration with three of the leading choreographers in Japan today.

Years ago, my mother thought me a way to make a white sauce that so easy and is infused with bay. She called it her reversed white sauce and I have never looked back.
1 cup shredded cheese your choice, sharp, aged, etc.
Cook the pasta in a medium saucepan with a good pinch of salt, according to the package instructions. Drain and run under cool water to prevent sticking. Temporarily set aside. Be careful not to overcook the pasta as you do want it to go soft and gulpy when its baked in the oven.
Transfer your saucepan back over to the stove over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, 2 cups of milk, bay leaf and heat over a medium heat till it starts to form little bubbles around the edge of the pan. Stir well and remove from the heat.
As the milk is warming combine 1 cup milk and the flour. Wisk into a paste/slurry and make sure there are no lumps.
Place the steeped milk back on the heat and warm. Once warm add ¼ of the slurry and whisk to combine. Add another ¼ of the slurry and again combine.
Now slowly stir the flour milk mixture to thicken for about 2 minutes over medium heat. We want to cook out the flour and thicken to a light to medium thickness. Add 1 tbsp of the slurry at a time until the white sauce is at the right thickness. Remove the bay leaf at this point and turn off the heat.
Add in the shredded cheese, cayenne, paprika and stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remember that when you add cheese to a white sauce never do it over heat.
Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce, and stir everything together until all the pasta is coated in the sauce. Divide the pasta among one medium small, or two small, oven-safe casserole/soup-type dishes. Temporarily set aside.
Melt the salted butter, then toss with the panko crumbs and grated parmesan. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of the pasta.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes to finish and serve hot. Garnish the finished pasta with fresh chopped parsley.

Sony’s mid-entry console move is surprising to say the least. Every 3rd year of its console cycle, the company has slimmed down its console, but this year it both slimmed down the console, and is releasing a more powerful model, the PS4 Pro.
It is important to know just what the PS4 Pro is all about. The PS4 Pro is a more powerful PlayStation 4 with double the processing power of the current PS4. This allows the PS4 Pro to render higher resolutions such as 4K, as well as produce greater visual fidelity with HDR. The PS4 Pro will have both enhancements to 4K, and 1o80p games, so the console is not limited to the TV in use.
The PS4 Pro has been mainly built for 4K TVs. It has double the processing power of the PS4 Slim, which gives the PS4 Pro the ability to output native 4K, or even upscaled 4K. This would all be useless without a 4K TV, but there is one major feature that will be useful to you if you don’t own a 4K TV, and that is the enhanced 1080p modes.
Many of the games coming out, and current titles, will have separate graphics options for those who are using their PS4 Pro on the 1080p display. These graphics modes will see games run at 60fps, with visual enhancements such as ambient occlusions, water reflections, sharper images with the use of super sampling, and other HDR tweaks. This means that it will sacrifice the ability to output the 4K, to power up the game’s other features. Those of you with a 4K display, will be able to choose from playing the game in 4K, or using this 1080p enhanced mode.
Do You Want Better 1080p Visuals?
This is something that every PS4 owner should ask themselves. The PS4 Pro will be able to run every game slightly better than the PS4 Slim, and when new games come out next year, they would have been specifically tweaked to make use of the power the PS4 Pro packs. Sony has assured us that the older PS4 consoles will not suffer from the inability to perform certain tasks in these games, and the limitations to the enhancements between the PS4 Pro and Slim, can only be graphical. This means that you should not expect PS4 Pro games to be completely different from the normal games; the core game will still be the same.
How Old Is Your PS4?
For those of you who just bought your PS4, this is now an issue. You just got your console and there is another one on the market. But consider this: by the time March 2017 rolls around, we will have so many games that have been developed with the PS4 Pro in mind, that the graphical differences will be astonishing. That is when the upgrade might seem like an attractive buy for you.
If you have owned a PS4 for a while, and you feel that a new console purchase can happen, then the PS4 Pro will be the model to go with. Granted that the console will be more expensive than the PS4 Slim that comes in at R5199. Expect to pay R6999 for the PS4 Pro.
PlayStation VR is a massive hit, and the PS4 Pro will take advantage of it by bypassing the processor unit on the PSVR, and outputting enhanced visuals to the headset directly from the console itself. This means that if you have a PS4 Pro, and a PSVR, your gaming sessions will have the upper hand to playing a standard PS4.
Keep in mind, the PSVR headset display is capped at 1080p, so you will not play 4K games on the headset.
The PS4 Pro will work on 1080p screens.
The PS4 Pro will be able to enhance visuals in either 4K or 1080p enhanced modes.
All PS4 models will support HDR.
PSVR will benefit from the power of PS4 Pro.
PS4 Pro will require a 4K TV to display 4K enabled games, but an HD or 4K TV to display 1080p enhancements.
PS4 Pro will cost R6999 in South Africa.
Are you picking up a PS4 Pro up when it releases in SA next month? Let us know in the comments below.

Eurobodalla Shire Council is determined to remove environmental protection from 38,000 hectares of land within the shire. Massive clearing of forested areas, impacting bird life, native habitats, waterways, bushfire risk, and greenhouse gas emissions will be the result of the council's "develop at any cost" attitude. The council’s plans ignore warnings in the expert reports it itself commissioned. The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW RFS, and Local Land Services have lodged objections to the council's proposal. We all love the beauty, natural values and stunning landscape of the South Coast. To preserve this, we should write to the council objecting to this proposed rezoning.

The logging of Corunna Forest is not just about trees removed for timber and woodchips exported to Japanese paper mills. Scientific studies including the Eurobodalla Shire Council Coastal Lakes Enquiry, the Healthy Rivers Commission by the NSW Government, and PhD research by Daniel Spooner indicate restrictions on Forestry won’t protect the fragile ecosystems in Corunna and Tilba lakes. A quote from Daniel Spooner: “Coastal lakes are considered one of the most highly productive systems on earth, and both Corunna and Nangudga Lake have relatively high TN and TP concentrations that are commonly associated with relatively high phytoplankton biomasses. During summer 2002,Tilba Lake (10 km from Corunna Lake) experienced fish kills that were attributed to a three-month long algal bloom that consisted of blue green algae (Anabena sp.) and unidentified green algae. More recently, (autumn 2003) various agencies have revealed the algal species Prorocentrum cordatum (potentially toxic to shellfish and the species has been linked to human symptoms such as gastrointestinal disorders, headache, feebleness and dizziness) and Hetenosigma akashiwo (potentially toxic to fish causing gills clogging and damage) were present in Wallaga Lake.” The reasons not to log Corunna Forest outweigh the reasons to log. Can we afford to allow this habitat to be logged when we are experiencing climate change and losing our bio-diversity at a rate greater than most countries? Water, water everywhere … somewhere … anywhere? You'd have to agree with John Ramsay's conclusions that fishing does have a lot to do with forestry and vice versa. Indeed our lives and health depend on water - without water, we simply will not survive. Let's be sure that among its many other important matters, our council is doing its utmost to ensure the long-term security of our shire's water supply and, importantly, that residents are kept aware of what's happening. Towards the end of the previous drought, it was suggested each issue of the shire papers should contain a report on the amount of water in Deep Creek dam. As we are approaching similar weather and climate conditions, should we be asking for this to be established on a continuing basis along with details of flows in feeder waterways, progress with the new southern dam and other related matters simply to keep these matters on the top of our priority lists? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw an advertisement about FOGO (a kerbside Food Organics Garden Organics bin collection service, converting scraps to compost). I was just watching War on Waste and thought this was such a great idea, so I jumped for joy as the advertisement said FOGO was coming to town from October 29th.

There are thousands of people working tirelessly to make a difference in this field and their efforts could not be more urgent. Anyone who knows of such a person would no doubt appreciate their achievements, but I would encourage them to take it one step further and nominate them for the Australian Mental Health Prize.

Over its history, the one constant in Los Angeles has been change. The city has grown, morphed and been re-shaped by business, culture, its environment – especially earthquakes – and near-continuous population growth.
The most recent tumult comes from reports that the City of Long Beach, current site of multiple events in the 2028 plan, continues in talks with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team to build a new stadium on the massive site of the Long Beach Arena and especially its expansive parking lot located just yards from the Queen Mary and the Pacific Ocean.
The Arena was state-of-the-art when it opened in 1962, but time has passed it by and there is no pro sports team in Long Beach using it now. The adjacent Convention Center and Terrace Theater hosted fencing at the 1984 Olympic Games and the Arena was a lively venue for volleyball.
The original Los Angeles bid for the 2024 Games had no events at all in Long Beach, but as the plan was refined, events were added there. The current plan is to have handball at the 13,609-seat Arena, but there are alternatives that could be found elsewhere in the area.
The remaining sports moved into the Long Beach area could still be held there without too much incident: sailing, open-water swimming and triathlon in the harbor and adjacent Pacific Ocean, BMX cycling – which would also work well inside a new ballpark – and water polo.
The existing lease for Angel Stadium expires after the 2020 baseball season and the Angels have said they would like to make a decision on their future home by the end of 2019.
The decision will obviously be made without regard to any impact on the 2028 Games, but it is also true that the LA28 organizers have other options.
A possible venue move that is currently under study came from the LA28 organizing committee, which asked the International Rowing Association (FISA) to consider the possibility of moving the rowing events from Lake Perris, an artificial lake in Riverside County east of Los Angeles, to the Long Beach Marine Stadium, site of the 1932 Olympic rowing events.
This was widely reported in February, and while the Marine Stadium site is attractive and much closer to the rest of the sites and could allow the rowers to stay in the Olympic Village at UCLA, there are two obstacles.
First and foremost is the J.H. Davies Bridge, built in 1955 and whose pillars eliminate much of the rowing channel after about 1,700 m, short of the standard 2,000 m course.
“Of course we are concerned, because in rowing one of the fundamentals of our sport is that the effort should be at least a minimum of five to six minutes. So obviously, we don’t like to shorten the distance; it’s a different type of effort.
The other element in play is that the Marine Stadium is located so close to the ocean that the tidal activity could impact the racing. Low tide in Long Beach is early in the morning, so it’s worth asking if having rowers stay at the UCLA Village makes sense, if they will have to be racing at 8 a.m.? Or with such early start times, is it actually necessary to house them closer to the site to cut down on the travel time, as was done in 1984 (at UC Santa Barbara for Lake Casitas), or as planned for Lake Perris?
This process is ongoing, so we’ll hear more about it in the months to come.
One of the major stories in Southern California sports at the moment is the continuing tragedy at Santa Anita Park – home of the 1984 Olympic equestrian events – where 23 horses have died since 26 December of last year.
No one is sure of the cause, and the track was shut down for almost a month for evaluation of the racing surface.
For the LA28 folks, however, there is no need to worry, as the 2028 equestrian events are slated for a temporary facility in the Sepulveda Basin area in the San Fernando Valley area in the northern area of Los Angeles. So the Santa Anita issues don’t impact (yet) the equestrian competitions.
The LA28 venue issues are not confined to the questions in Long Beach. There are also new possibilities, possibly coming online in plenty of time for the Games and for which the LA28 organizers would be the beneficiaries without lifting a finger.
First is the expansion of the Los Angeles Convention Center, already slated to host fencing, taekwondo, boxing, table tennis and basketball. The new project, now in the early stages, will add another exhibit hall of 180,000-200,000 sq. ft., another multipurpose space of 90-100,000 sq.ft., more meeting spaces, and another massive hotel, with 850 rooms. The exhibit hall could host another sport, as could the multipurpose space, concentrating more facilities in the downtown Los Angeles core, considered highly desirable for the convenience of spectators and news media.
In addition, the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team is planning its own arena, expected to be in Inglewood, to open by 2024. It would seat 18,000 and be a spectacular added Olympic facility, close by The Forum (gymnastics) and the under-construction L.A Stadium at Hollywood Park (archery and ceremonies). The Forum operators are fighting the project, and the ultimate outcome isn’t clear at present. But the Clippers want their own facility, and have the resources to build one somewhere.
At the same time, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is being rebuilt to better accommodate the USC football program and the Banc of California Stadium, now just a year old, is one of the new stars among Southern California venues as the home of the Los Angeles Football Club of Major League Soccer.
Still think the LA28 folks are sleeping? Even without having to build anything, there’s still a lot going on.

Stellar model simulations done by JINA-NuGRID collaboration and others have highlighted the need for improved understanding of low energy cross sections of stellar helium burning reactions. For this purpose the Compact Accelerator System for Performing Astrophysics Research (CASPAR) has been developed by JINA Notre Dame at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) located at the Homestake Mine in South Dakota.
Over two years in the making, this January the CASPAR facility has reached a long anticipated milestone with the installation of the 1 MV accelerator column. This final equipment placement completes the main stage of installation at SURF. The complexities of creating a nuclear astrophysics lab a mile underground have presented many unique challenges along the way. Equipment designed, built and tested at the University of Notre Dame was deconstructed into modular components, ready for underground installation at a repurposed gold mine 4850 feet below the city of Lead, South Dakota. With these sections now reassembled, a final push is underway towards full system commissioning prior to the projected start of beam tests in the spring. Accelerator operations will make CASPAR the deepest underground accelerator facility in the world and the first of it’s kind in the US. With the great strides being made by the CASPAR team, full operation of the system will soon lead to the measurement of neutron sources for the slow-neutron-capture-process. The s-process is a nucleosynthesis mechanism that occurs at relatively low neutron density and intermediate temperature conditions in helium and carbon burning stars. The results will lead to a better understanding of s-process sites and to a self-consistent modeling of s-process nucleosynthesis using NuGRID codes.

WASHINGTON -- Brenda Codallos was 4 when she came to the U.S. from Mexico. Now she may be sent back to a country she doesn't know.
President Donald Trump revoked protections for Codallos and around 690,000 other unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. The president and congressional leaders are trying to draft legislation that would allow them to stay in advance of Trump's March 5 deadline for phasing out the program.
"I was born in Mexico but my whole life is America," said Codallos, 20, of Red Bank, a home health aide and an intern in an immigration lawyer's office.
Codallos was one of 120 immigrants from 20 states brought to Capitol Hill Wednesday by Fwd.us, a pro-immigration advocacy group formed by Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. Those from New Jersey met with Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-12th Dist., and others.
"In a democracy, you have to talk to your policymakers," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee. "It's unfair to young people like these not to be able to carry out their dream. The threat of deportation, of someone knocking at their door, is something we shouldn't have."
The immigrants are known as "dreamers" after the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act that would have allowed those brought to the U.S. as children to remain in the country legally if they attended college or joined the military. Senate Republicans blocked that legislation.
President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allowed those brought to the U.S. before age 16 and who arrived before June 15, 2007, to obtain permits allowing them to remain in the country and get driver's licenses, serve in the military, attend college or find work. The permits had to be renewed every two years.
Trump announced in September that he would end the program in May. That affects 17,400 dreamers who live in New Jersey as of Sept. 4, 2017, ninth highest among the 50 states, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Since Trump's original announcement, thousands of unauthorized immigrants were given permission to remain permanently while others left the country.
"I always thought that with time and hard work, I would be able to earn permanent residency and citizenship," said Daniella Vieira of Somerset, a financial analyst who emigrated to the U.S. from Brazil at 11 years old.
Brazil, she said, is "my birth country. This is my home country."
The dreamers' visits were timed to put the pressure on Congress and the White House to agree to a solution by Jan. 19, when lawmakers must pass legislation to keep funding the federal government.
"It's very hard for us to be used as bargaining chips," said Renata Mauriz, 24, of Roxbury, a senior at Brown University and a member of the Morristown-based immigrant resource center Wind of the Spirit. She came to the U.S. at age 12 from Brazil.
"No one wants to leave home," she said. "They migrate out of necessity."
U.S. voters strongly support allowing the dreamers to stay. A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday said 79 percent believed they should be allowed to become citizens and another 7 percent supported allowing them to remain in the U.S. but not receive citizenship. Only 11 percent wanted them deported.
Congressional Democrats, whose votes are needed to pass a spending bill, say any agreement to fund the government also should include provisions allowing the dreamers to stay in the U.S.
"We have a very clear sense, a united purpose as Democrats, of finding a way forward with dreamers," said U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who joined other members of Congress at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the issue with Trump.
The American Federation of Teachers on Thursday began an ad campaign targeting 34 House Republicans, including Reps. Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd Dist.; Tom MacArthur, R-3rd Dist.; Chris Smith, R-4th Dist.; Leonard Lance, R-7th Dist.; urging them to push House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to bring to the House floor legislation to allow the dreamers to remain in the U.S.
Watson Coleman said the Jan. 19 deadline could force a solution.
"The importance of this issue should be a very real lever," she said.

entertainers... I have one question for you.
If so - read on... If not, may I suggest YouTube so you can waste your time like many magicians do, watching others who are actually out there working for pay.
My name is C.J. Johnson, and I'm ready to share all of my marketing secrets with YOU.
YOU CAN book more shows and YOU CAN make more money at each of them.
In this exciting book "More Shows! More Money! Proven Techniques to Succeed in the Entertainment Business" I will give you the tools to do so. Whether you are just entering the world of selling your act or you are a seasoned pro with thousands of shows under your belt, there are ideas in this HUGE book (over 150 pages) that can help you make a better living doing what you love to do.
that "he with the most talent is NOT the person who works the most!" Though a good act will certainly KEEP you working so if you have a good act you're a step ahead.
I am so certain you will PROFIT from the ideas in this book that if it doesn't PAY FOR ITSELF IN 30 DAYS - WE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK! If these ideas weren't that great would I make a promise like that? Of course not. If you use even ONE of the literally dozens of ideas in this book you will profit.
If you're still reading this tells me you are SERIOUS about taking your career to the next financial level. It amazes me that so many variety entertainers are happy making $20,000 a year or even $50,000-$75,000 a year. Believe me when I tell you this is CHICKEN FEED compared to what is really possible.
There is no reason that EVERY competent entertainer shouldn't make a 6 FIGURE INCOME and have a great time doing so. And you don't have to have a big show to do it - you just have to create a steady flow of shows at a reasonable fee. Don't let the fact that you are currently just breaking into the magician/clown/juggler/vent market discourage you into thinking that the big bucks can't be had. And if you're someone who already makes $200K a year performing, don't think there's nothing here for you to learn. It just isn't so! Opportunity is there - you just have to know how to take every advantage so you are the KING OF YOUR MARKET.
This is the one thing that will separate the successful performer from the performer who simply makes ends meet. Making sure that everything you do compliments the other things you do. This is one of the most important lessons in "More Shows! More Money!"
Another incredibly important lesson is how to get maximum results with minimum effort and work!
I've tried just about every way there is to promote my services, from putting signs on telephone poles and community bullentin boards to making cold calls 2-4 hours a day. These all got results, but they were just too hard and unpredictable - and cold calling give you a HUGE feeling of rejection, especially when what you are selling is YOU. I propose that we do away with cold calling all together, and instead, create a steady flow of calls coming into you from people who are already interested in your services.
Believe me, I've done it both ways and having the calls come into you instead of calling other people who could care less that you exist is much, much better for both your business and your ego.
In addition to this, as you may already do hundreds of shows a year, I'll teach you how to make an additional $100-$1000 per show - without raising your fee! This method has put literally tens of thousands of dollars in my pocket over the past few years and it can put cash in your pockets too!
Making the decision to go full time!
This is only a partial list!!!! This book is huge - over 150 pages - and it's packed with ideas you WILL USE.
