Avoid alcoholic beverages. Alcohol causes the body to lose body heat more rapidly.
Avoid overexertion. Cold weather itself, without any physical exertion, puts an extra strain on the heart.
Dress warmly in loose fitting, layered, lightweight clothing. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent. Wear a hat. Wear mittens instead of gloves.
Keep yourself and your clothes dry. Change wet socks and all other wet clothing as quickly as possible to prevent loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses all of its insulating value and transmits heat rapidly.
Overexertion can add risk to damaging your body.
Watch for frostbite and other symptoms of cold weather exposure. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, tip of nose, and ear lobes. The best treatment for frostbite is the rewarming of the affected tissue.
If a person shows signs of overexposure to cold or wet and windy weather, take the following steps even if the person claims to be in no difficulty. Often the person will not realize the seriousness of the situation.
Get the person into dry clothing and into a warm bed or sleeping bag with a "hot" water bottle (which should actually be only warm to the touch and not hot), a heating pad, or other source of heat.
Give the person warm drinks, hot chocolate, tea, or hot soup.
Keep the head low and the feet up to get warm blood circulating to the head.
Keep the person quiet. Do not jostle, massage, or rub.
Never give the person alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or pain relievers. Those drugs only slow down body processes.
Display a brightly colored cloth on the vehicle's radio antenna.
Do not leave the car to search for assistance unless help is visible within 100 yards. You may become disoriented and lost in the blowing and drifting snow. Being lost in open country during a blizzard is extremely dangerous.
Don't panic, stay in the car.
Exercise lightly by clapping hands and moving arms and legs occasionally. Avoid staying in one position too long.
Occasionally run the engine and heater for about ten minutes to keep warm.

Glenn Beck (AP/Timothy D. Easley)
Glenn Beck's latest conspiracy theory: Women's March was George Soros, radical Islam "astroturf"
"Connections are there and if you want to call me a conspiracy theorist again, you can," he said on his radio show
Kyle Mantyla
January 24, 2017 6:00PM (UTC)
This article originally appeared on Right Wing Watch.
Glenn Beck opened his radio show yesterday by attacking the media for failing to report that last weekend's massive Women's March on Washington was nothing more than an "astroturf" rally orchestrated by George Soros and radical Islamic groups.
Beck heaped praise on a piece on The New York Times website by Asra Nomani, a self-described liberal Muslim who has previously said that she voted for Donald Trump because she believes that "the liberals and the left have really betrayed America" when it comes to fighting Islamic extremism, who claimed that "Soros has funded, or has close relationships" with, dozens of organization that participated in or supported the march.
"I'm afraid tomorrow I have to go back to my chalkboard," Beck said. "We've been working on it this weekend. We're going to give you some of the connections, we're going to talk to the woman who wrote that article for The New York Times about the connections to George Soros and to radical Islam and have a talk with her. Tomorrow I'm bringing the chalkboard in because the connections are there and if you want to call me a conspiracy theorist again, you can; I'm not going to accuse anybody of anything, I'm just going to point out the facts because somebody has to and perhaps someone in the media will listen."

Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Launches Landmark Studio Group with Industry Veteran David Ozer
New Studio Will Work Closely with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment's Crackle Plus and Screen Media Ventures
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSSE), a growing media company building online video-on-demand ("VOD") networks that provide video content for all screens, today announced the launch of Landmark Studio Group ("Landmark") in partnership with 30-year entertainment industry veteran, David Ozer.
Landmark, which will be headquartered in New York with offices in Los Angeles, is a fully integrated entertainment company focused on ownership, development, and production of quality entertainment franchises. Ozer will serve as Landmark's chief executive officer. In addition to Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Cole Strategic Partners has committed funding to Landmark.
Landmark will develop, produce, distribute and own all of the intellectual property (IP) it creates, building a valuable library. The studio will be independent, having the ability to sell its content to any network or platform, while also developing and producing original content for Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment's recently acquired Crackle, a leading ad-supported VOD ("AVOD") network. Landmark will control all worldwide rights and will distribute through Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment's Screen Media division.
Landmark has several television and film projects in development, including:
· THE FIX – A scripted drama series that explores the most explosive story of sports corruption in a generation based on the book by Declan Hill. The Fix is written by David Dilley and produced by Calamity Jane's Ellen Pompeo and Laura Holstein.
· THE HISTORY OF GANGSTER RAP - A documentary series based on the bestselling book by Soren Baker, who serves as producer along with Jorge Hinojosa and Ice-T, and features Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and many others.
· SAFEHAVEN - Directed by Brad Turner (Homeland, 24), Safehaven, a supernatural horror series based on the graphic novel about a female comic book artist whose drawings come alive to haunt her. Safehaven is produced by Turner, Thomas Vitale (Pandora), Jessica Petelle (V-Wars, Hawaii Five-0), James Seale (30 Below), Kevin Duncan and Michael Bay's 451 Media.
Landmark will also be producing various stand-up comedy specials and animated series.
"All of us at Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment are thrilled to be in business with David Ozer. He has the ability and talent to turn Landmark into a high-volume content production operation that we anticipate will provide an additional revenue stream for our company while mitigating production risk," said William J. Rouhana Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment. "We expect Landmark to provide valuable original content to Crackle and the other six AVOD networks that are part of our Crackle Plus subsidiary, as well as our other Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment divisions."
"It's incredible what Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment is creating in the AVOD space, and I'm excited to launch Landmark as an important studio operation for tomorrow's media consumers," said Ozer. "With the support of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, we are poised to become a significant player in the global content marketplace."
"We are thrilled to join forces with Bill and David to launch Landmark, which we anticipate will become a major force in the entertainment industry," said Simon Misselbrook, president of Cole Strategic Partners.
As chief executive officer of the newly formed studio, Ozer will spearhead its content development and production operations. During his time at IDW Entertainment as founding president from 2013-2018, he oversaw the independent mini-studio's overall operations and focused on developing, producing, and distributing content that appeals to a broad global audience. Ozer is credited with the independent mini-studio's expansion, and the success of its two most prominent series, overseeing the development and production of three seasons of Wynonna Earp for Syfy, and two seasons of Dirk Gently for BBC America. He also oversaw the development of Locke & Key and V-Wars for Netflix. Ozer has also held executive level positions at multinational media corporations, including executive vice president of television at Starz Media; senior vice president of domestic television at RHI Entertainment; head of worldwide distribution at Sonar; senior vice president of sales at DIC Entertainment and vice president of sales at Sony Pictures Television.
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq:CSSE) is a growing media company building and acquiring streaming video-on-demand networks (VOD) that provide content for all screens.

Making the choice to invest in residential real estate is an excellent way to diversify and grow your net worth, if it is done correctly. Besides providing a steady cash flow and amazing tax benefits, investing in real estate also provides a sense of security that is simply unmatched in other investments. Real estate is ever-accessible, appreciable, depreciable, leverageable, improvable, deductible, deferrable and stable; however, for you as an investor, the most important thing real estate can be is rentable.
At Town, we understand the rental property business from an investor's perspective, and we have the tools you need to be successful in your pursuits. Our goal is to find you an excellent investment that promises a positive return in every area. Best of all, our team is prepared to help you every step of the way. At Town we believe real estate to be the most "able" investment in today's economy, and our proven processes lead to amazing results.
With Town, you are not just dealing with just a residential realtor, we are also active investors in multiple Charlottesville rental properties and have been successful in "flipping" local properties. Our Realtors will use our experience to focus on an immediate equity gain upon the acquisition of a rental property. This goal is put in place to ensure sufficient cash flow to sustain the returns you need for success. Additionally, our agents are ready and willing to help you select the right piece of real estate for your needs, as well as one that is sure to appeal to the rental market of Charlottesville at large.
We always work to meet both your short-term and long-term financial needs during the acquisition process. Besides considering the base price of the property, our knowledgeable Realtors also look at things such as property taxes, maintenance costs and other factors that impact your initial investment into the residence. Further, Town's ability to provide advanced financial projections based on current market trends allows you to see the big picture before purchasing a property. This is an invaluable tool that ensures success and meets our goal to help you become a sophisticated investor and grow your financial wealth.
Whether you seek your first investment property or you are looking to expand your existing portfolio, Town's resources are unmatched. With lenders, contractors and property managers in our network, all of the information you need is at your fingertips. We share the fundamental truths of real estate investment with our clients, and we are happy to share the models that schooled investors use; together, these factors allow even novice investors to feel comfortable with the process. For seasoned real estate investors, Town's advanced analytics help you target lucrative properties in niche markets – a precious tool for the continued growth of an investment business. The unrivaled tax benefits of depreciations, deductions and exchanges await in Charlottesville's rentable real estate market, and with Town's help, your success is immanent.
When it comes to the rental market in Charlottesville, options are bountiful. This town is largely based around the University of Virginia, and as such, there is a high need for residential rentals to accommodate students. There are just under 24,000 students enrolled at UVA, and of this number, approximately 41 percent live on the campus. While there are some students that live at home in the area, this leaves a significant portion of the student body that is in need of off-campus rental housing. This factor alone presents a huge opportunity for the area's real estate investors. Further, the stability of the university means that there will always be a steady flow of students – and even faculty members – looking for affordable rental housing in the University region.
Investors looking at neighborhoods around the UVA campus have numerous property options, including single-family homes, townhouses and even apartment complexes.
Students are just one sector of the rental market in the greater Charlottesville area. This region is known for its livability, and, in fact, has received numerous accolades, including the "Most Exciting Place in Virginia" by Movoto Real Estate, the "Best College Town in America" by Traveler's Today, one of the "Top 100 Places to Live" by Livability.com, one of "America's Favorite Mountain Towns" by Travel + Leisure Magazine, and the list goes on. The draw of Charlottesville is undeniable, and this brings in a steady flow of new residents on a regular basis. Budding professionals and families are drawn to the stable work environment and ever-changing environment Charlottesville presents, while retirees are drawn to the scenic beauty and easy lifestyle offered by Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The great variety of residents, and the options they seek, means excellent things for the rental market in the greater Charlottesville area.
The investment properties do not end at the city lines, and renters are bountiful throughout the 29 North region, as well. In 29 North, the beauty of the country combines with fantastic access to surrounding communities and a number of the county's most prominent employers. Big-name retailers and local shops provide employment options in the retail sectors; however, the major draws for the area include General Electric, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Ground Intelligence Center. There is also an airport in town that provides opportunity for residents.
Where there is employment there are incoming residents, and this gives you as a real estate investor a great chance to build your portfolio in a different, less-dense region of Albemarle County. Town's expertise in Charlottesville's specific market trends is just one of the ways that our Realtors help you in the investment property acquisition process. Overall, it is our commitment to excellence – both ours and yours – that allows success in each and every transaction.

Welfare Work
PROTECTION    AGAINST    INJURY SANITATION HEALTH
INDUSTRIAL    EDUCATION RECREATION SPORTS
New Welfare Features at Some of the Plants
By Edith S. Reider
In spite of the European war and its untoward effect upon the industrial situation in the past year, welfare activities have been quietly developing at various I H C plants, although some of the larger schemes have had to be held in abeyance until the coming of better times. And while the larger schemes are so significant as directly representing the Company's policy, the more isolated expressions of interest in the human side as they are worked out by the various superintendents are equally significant because they indicate how vital that interest is, not being dependent upon the immediate concerted action of the Advisory Board on Welfare.
At McCormick works perhaps the most important recent developments are the improvements in the light¬ ing system and the building of the new core room (No. 1 foundry) with sanitary equipment of the most approved character. The new wash room of the McCormick paint shop, added to the splendid ventilating system already installed; the separate lunch room; and the clean, white uniforms all reduce the danger of occu¬ pational disease, in connection with painting, to a minimum.
At Deering works the reconstruction of the malleable foundry, with the elimination of gases and smoke, is a very important development along sanitary lines. Per¬ haps the most significant advance at this plant is the recent installation of a new, wet grinding machine which safeguards the workmen completely. This ma¬ chine will be installed in the other plants also.
At the twine mills the problem of ventilation was settled several years ago when our own superintendents worked out the system which clears the air so marvel- ously of the fine dust which escapes from the fiber. The problem of finding a suitable covering for the workers in the preparing rooms still remained, and the superintendent of Deering twine mill has done a lot of pioneer experimental work, resulting in the selection of a yellow, oiled drilling cloth for aprons and sleeves. This summer, while the twine mills at Deering and McCormick had to stop working to wait until we could get raw materials from Mexico, the sound of sewing machines was heard in the big empty lunch rooms. Now the employes in the preparing rooms are wearing the results — aprons and sleeves made of this material. At McCormick's they have installed a laundry also where the aprons, which are worn by all the girls and changed twice each week, and the towels which are fur¬ nished twice a week to each employe, will be laundered. Along safety lines, the installation of automatic stops on the spinning machines, is the most important feature.
At both the Deering and McCormick twine mills, a pleasant surprise awaited the girls when they returned to work this fall. When they filed into the big white- walled lunch rooms at noon, they were greeted at the
door by a burst of music from an electric piano, whose tone carries from one end of the room to the other, so that those who wish to dance after luncheon will have no difficulty in "getting the step." This will greatly enhance the pleasure of the girls, as they never seem to get quite enough dancing to satisfy them.
At the core room of the malleable foundry at McCor¬ mick works, the ventilation was greatly improved last spring by the addition of more hoods and ventilating devices to carry off the smoke from the drying cores, an improvement which is greatly appreciated by the girls who work there under the friendly care of Mrs. Margaret McGrath, their matron.
At Weber works, a cold water circulating system with the I H C standard fountains has been installed; separate lunch and locker rooms have been opened; and provisions for further safeguarding the men in the paint shops have been carried out.
At Keystone works, in addition to new lunch rest rooms and lavatories, a reading and smoking room has been provided for the men's use during the noon hour; much renovating of interiors and beautifying of lawns and exteriors has been carried on, while on the recrea¬ tional side, the organization of bowling and baseball teams has been developed.
At Hamilton works, in Canada, where the European war had a profound effect, many of our employes having enlisted for service, not a few with the record " killed in action," the superintendent has worked on quietly improving sanitary conditions with the hope that the coming of better days will revive the lively interest in athletics which had to be abandoned when the war shadow appeared.
At Milwaukee works there has been active work all along the lines of safety and sanitation. Among the distinctive departures from the more usual phases of I H C welfare work is the evening gas-engine class, which meets one evening a week under the direction of the extension division of the University of Wisconsin, supplemented by a practical course in the engine test department after hours.
Milwauke works has a soup and coffee counter which has been doing good work for several years.
At St. Paul Twine, they have kept right on boosting for safety, sanitation, and an-all-around expression of good will and co-operation. They have the habit up there.
At Osborne, Chatham, Champion, Piano and the steel mills the work has moved along quietly and pro¬ gressively, chiefly with respect to safety and sanitation.
If there were more space, we could tell of many other good things. Moreover, if we have overlooked anything especially important, it is because those who should have told us about it neglected to do so.

If there were more space, we could tell of many other good things. Moreover, if we have overlooked anything especially important, it is because those who should have told us about it neglected to do so. 23


It is winter morning and dewdrops line your path. The mist in the air makes you think about that special person who changed it all for you. Dewdrops is the perfect fit for her contagious presence and her zest for life. While roses are a mark of appreciation for her presence in your life, lilies are a tribute for her boisterous character.


Guide Bridge Theatre has been given a spectacular facelift in the form of a giant vinyl wrap and brand new sign on the front of the building.
The giant, 30m x 5m decoration is believed to be the largest wrap around a theatre in the North West. The eye-catching design came from the mind of Jo Perry at Delph-based Periscope Studios. It was installed by Arthur Bogan of Art Sign and Design and his apprentice Mike Robinson, and is the first phase of the theatre's ambitious regeneration project.
The theatre's directors were unanimous in their praise of the new look. The façade of the theatre had been left untouched for over thirty years and the theatre's directors hope the new eye-catching new wrap will increase it's profile.
Designed by Jo Perry of Periscope Studios and installed by Arthur Bogan of Art Sign and Design, the new look Guide Bridge Theatre has been catching the eye of passers-by.
The impressive makeover is just the first phase of an extensive programme of improvements planned over the coming months and years, in an effort to modernise the theatre and attract new and different audiences.
Artistic Director Martin Roach explained: "It was all part of the re-branding of the theatre, to give it a visible presence. We all liked it because it was individual, it was unique, it made a statement about what the theatre was about, it was striking and it was memorable.
The current offering Guide Bridge Theatre is 'Foxfinder' by Dawn King, directed by Paul Foster. The play runs until October 21st with performances at 7.30pm every night. For tickets, you can call 0161 330 8078.

Last Chair at Donita's
By Dawne Belloise
There isn't a long-timer in town who doesn't have a memorable story about an experience at Donita's Cantina from the past 40 years, whether it was a party, a wedding, a memorial, the stacked blue tortilla specials or even not remembering after imbibing several of their infamous $4 pitchers or $1 drinks during Margarita Night back when they were in the Elk Mountain Lodge.
When the last dinner is served, and the last margarita downed on September 29, owners Don Cook, Kay Petersen Cook and Heli Mae Petersen will close the doors of the beloved restaurant for the very last time. Yes, loyal friends and patrons are freaking out. Where will the God Squad go for their weekly Thursday night dinner gatherings that have been going on for years? Kay imagines that on Donita's last night, people are going to come in and lay claim to a table and not want to leave. "It's going to be like last chair on a powder day, only it's last chair at Donita's," she laughs, albeit through tears.
As far as margarita night, that ended a while ago when someone hid two pitchers under their coat and got busted trying to sneak into the Eldo with them. Although there are a very few select patrons who are grandfathered into margarita night from the Way-Back Machine at the Lodge, and Heli confesses, "We were drinking there, too."
Donita's Cantina was birthed from a restaurant started by Oklahoman Linda Blackledge (White now), who used her grandmother's recipes, in the Elk Mountain Lodge in 1980, but not under the name Donita's. It was just the Elk Mountain Lodge. The Reids owned the Lodge at the time and the Mexican food restaurant was successful from the get-go.
Don Cook (Kay's hubby) was working at that restaurant when he lost his spleen in a ski accident, and Kay stepped in to fill his waiter job. After he healed, Kay decided to keep Don's shifts. "I didn't give him his waiting job back. That's how I started working there, just one month after it had opened."
Don remained a prep cook when he got back on his feet. The Reids sold the Lodge to Harold Vernon, grandfather of Jason Vernon, the former owner of Soupçon. When Harold bought the building, he offered the restaurant business to Linda, who declined.
At the same time, Gary and Donita Reitze had just moved back from Truckee, California, and they, along with Kathleen Ross, opened the place that soon became Donita's.
When Kathleen Ross decided to leave the business, Kay became a partner in 1985. Donita's moved into its current location in 1984, into the building that once housed the Chinese food restaurant, the Way Station. When they moved into the place, it had three enormous built-in woks with single burners underneath, all of which had to be removed., "They wok-ed away," Heli jokes. Three of the solid oak tables came from the Twister House and the rest of the booths and tables were built by Craig McLaughlin and Clifton Harlan.
Kay had moved to town in 1979 with Heli Mae following in 1982, both relocating from California. Heli Mae was working as a dishwasher and prep cook at Donita's in the Elk Mountain Lodge location, later taking on the role of line cook and kitchen manager, and Kay took over the front of the house when they moved to Elk Avenue. In the halls and on walls are 40 years of crew photos, taken every other year at their employee parties, where Bob Brazell was hired to capture the moment. Kay and Heli Mae hope the museum might take the photos as keepsake of an era gone by in Crested Butte's history.
Employees, parties and drinking
"We've been really blessed with great employees," Kay says of the staff over the four decades. "Tom Mally has been the backbone of that kitchen for 25 years. Anybody would be really lucky to have him as an employee. I can't do this without him. He comes up with the dinner specials, he shows up at 2 p.m. and does all the grunt work. The other guys come in, too, and, bless them, they work hard but Tom has been this rock for us for a long, long time. He worked for Donita and Gary, too."
When asked about some of her favorite memories, Heli Mae laughs in that deep booming laugh of hers and asks, "You mean when I was drinking or when I was sober?" She continues, "In the '80s it was pretty much a blur but the '90s was when everything started to happen. We had free skiing and we had the X Games here before Aspen had them. It brought all the beautiful people to town, the skiers and the whatnots, but I remember some great nights with people hula-hooping up on the bar and just some great memories of the parties that have been here."
Like Caleb Weinberg's birthday celebrations held annually for 20-some years. "His grandmother would finance his birthday parties here," even before he was of drinking age, Kay recalls, "until about four years ago. His grandma would tell him, 'You go out and have a great birthday party with your friends and I'll pay for it.' His birthday was at the end of January, which was a really slow time, so we always looked forward to having that party, plus, it was really fun. One year some guy showed up with all those stupid superballs." Kay remembers they were bouncing all over the place. Heli chimes in, "Yeah, that guy's sober now."
The sisters also recall that food fights during the X Games were the worst. "They didn't just throw food, they threw plates. The guys with their teams showed up and they had a food fight downstairs. They hucked whole plates of food at people. And our plates are heavy. We charged them $500 to clean up the mess and you know what they said? 'That's the least we've been charged anywhere we've been.' The room was a disaster," Kay says. She recalls thinking she should have charged them much more.
Mostly they think, Kay says, "Snarky people don't come here. The best is when people come in here and they just love the food. They love the service, no matter how busy it is. We have people here every night and there's a queue out the door. We get old people in here, they love us." Heli Mae grins. "Because we're old, too." Kay continues, "There are times I'll look in that dining room and I think, God I love old people, and they're here at 5 p.m. when we open."
Heli and Kay have been known to take a fussy child and carry them around the restaurant while they work so their parents could enjoy their meal. "Yes, we have a lot of old people but kids love us, too. We have families, old people, young people, and kids who grew up and ate here now bring their kids—third generation," Heli says. They have regular weekly groups of loyal clientele who they'll automatically save a table for because they know they show up on the same night weekly.
With word of Donita's closing, they've received texts and emails of appreciation, love letters in a sense, from their clients and friends, thanking them for four decades of memories, friendship, great food and drinks. "It puts you in tears and gratitude," Heli says. The souvenirs are gone—t-shirts, bags and pint glasses, and the water jugs disappeared a long time ago.
A gathering place for community
This year, Donita's closed down to host the memorials of some long-time locals and friends, because that was more important to them than being open on a prime Friday night in the summer. "The memorial for Frog [Chuck Gifford] was like a 40-year reunion. Same thing for Diner," and it made the sisters' hearts sing through the tears. "When I stood there and looked around, and when you talk about if our community is gone, the answer is nooooo. This is our tribe, this is our community. It's gonna be a tribe night when we close. The spirit of Crested Butte is still here and it's in each of us," Kay says, and they both agree.
The partners had put the business up for sale a few years ago, and had a buyer ready to sign two years ago, but the sale didn't go through. Heli Mae was setting up for a wedding when Kay came downstairs and said, "They called it off," to which Heli asked in shock, "They called off the wedding?!" Kay replied, "No, they called off the sale." Heli's reaction was classic: "Oh, who cares!"
She continued to prepare for the wedding party, and further explained, "It's better to stay in the moment than to future-trip about all of it." Besides, they weren't quite ready to let go of Donita's at that time. They were actually relieved.
So why does a successful, 40-year business decide to shut its doors? The partners give three reasons: the first is escalating, unreasonable rent. When you're already paying $10,000 for rent, the lease is up and the landlord is raising rent by essentially 50 percent, well, that's a lot of burritos. Secondly, the employee shortage, because, they feel, of the affordable housing shortage. The third reason, they resoundingly agree upon is, "We're old! After 40 years, it's a ton of work to run a restaurant. It's time to retire," Kay concludes.
Although Kay is ready for her next chapter of free time, Heli Mae is not quite ready for that yet. She's putting the restaurant equipment in storage after selling what they need to, and then she'll take the winter to evaluate.
"There's a lot of change going on with kitchens and there are plenty of dark kitchens, meaning, someone is using it during the day but it's available at night," Heli says of the space-sharing concept. "I've been exploring those possibilities but I'm staying focused on Donita's until the end, because that's what I need to do," and she notes that it won't be easy moving out of 5,000 square feet.
They're going to keep the website up and running, donitascantina.com, at least for a while. Maybe a recipe book will be in the future. People want Kay to do a wildflower book with all her magnificent photos from her rides and hikes. She's thinking maybe a combination of wildflowers and Donita's recipes, but for now, she's taking a gap year.
Heli feels you have to step back. "One door needs to close before the other door is going to open."
Emotions are running strong and deep. There are a lot of tears and many hugs between Don, Kay and Heli Mae and their customers and good friends. It's not just a restaurant, it's a community. It's the times changing and the end of an era that so many remember, life in a smaller, closer, more untamed and ungroomed Crested Butte when we were younger. "We're not leaving," the sisters affirm in unison. "Next summer, what I would like to do is have a potluck and maybe we'll do the salsa and chips and invite everyone, because it's a fellowship. It all comes from a place of love," Kay says and Heli adds, "This community is wrapping us in so much love. We're gonna be okay."
The Dish Pit In The Sky
Ode to Donita's Cantina
by Luke Mehall
In another lifetime, I was a dishwasher. There's this quote that I'll have to paraphrase because I can't recall it exactly but it went something like this: "There's always someone who will do a job that most people don't want to do."
I was that person for washing dishes, dish diving, dish dogging—whatever you might want to call it. If your dishes needed to be cleaned, I was the best dishwasher this side of the Mississippi. All I needed was good vibes, good tunes and cannabis.
Recently, I found out that the place where I washed dishes the longest, Donita's Cantina, in Crested Butte, is closing. That sent me down memory lane, recalling an era in my life when I was often elbows-deep in suds, floating with little direction.
At the time I thought I'd be content forever just living to climb. I think many of us climbers think that way. But life has a way of marching forward, and what makes one happy in their twenties will most certainly not work in their forties.
Donita's was crazy when I first started working there: remnants of the really crazy 1960s and 1970s in Crested Butte, or at least from the stories I heard. Memories from the past are usually unreliable. But I can say for sure that I saw grown men snorting coke at nine in the morning while they prep cooked. And that is crazy.
I've never tried cocaine in my life—just not my style—and doing expensive drugs just to have energy to work seemed insane. It was. The kitchen quickly cleaned up, and the high-level druggies were gone, leaving those of us who just dabbled in the smoke and drink; par for the course in any restaurant anywhere. If you've never worked in a restaurant, reading some Anthony Bourdain might help for context.
Or you could simply look to Donita's signature dessert dish: the sopa-penis, which is a penis-shaped sopapilla. Sometimes it was my job to make one and—off the record—I was once paid $20 to deliver one to a bachelorette party wearing nothing but an apron.
The restaurant owners, Kay and Heli Mae, were very kind to me. Sometimes I would make them nervous by letting the dishes pile up while I was taking a safety meeting, but I earned their respect when I'd bust those dishes out in no time flat.
After establishing myself as a hard worker—who also liked to test the limits of coming in late—I began a rigorous routine every summer. I would prep cook in the morning, go bouldering or write in the afternoon, and then wash dishes all night. I'd often sleep in the bed of my truck, parked in the back right next to a dumpster that bears would often frequent, and wake up and do it all over again.
The money was good for the time. If I worked hard enough, I could climb all winter on the dough that I made. Kay and Heli Mae would always take care of me. And, then there was Tom.
He was in charge of the kitchen, but it took me a while to figure that out. He was all business when things were busy, but when they slowed down, he opened up. He was a wild man, a product of the '60s, and among his stories were the tales of camping out in the winter in Crested Butte. I thought I was roughing it, but this guy was the true representation of a hardcore mountain man.
Tom found out I was a writer, and often he would tell me, "Don't end up as a dishwasher, continue with your writing." There are things that people you respect tell you over and over again, and then it doesn't make sense until 10 or 20 years later. Plus, I was born to be an entrepreneur, but I only realized that in the last couple of years.
I enjoyed my time working in restaurants, especially at Donita's. I loved the camaraderie, and I loved the fact that if I did my job well as a dishwasher no one could mess with me. Though I didn't see it for years, Tom was right to encourage me to see beyond the dish pit; not because there is anything wrong with working in that industry, but because he knew I had a skill that would make me more money and allow me to self-actualize.
I was in Crested Butte last week, but with a hectic schedule and a book presentation, I didn't make it into Donita's. Where Tom is headed now, I don't know. I know he gave me some direction when I lacked it, and the older I get, the more I appreciate his sentiments and vision. Living in the moment is great for mindfulness, but looking into the future is key to being happy later in life.
It appears as though I'll never step foot into Donita's again, but the memories will stay with me forever. I'm grateful for every lesson learned, and most of all for Tom, who encouraged me to not only work hard, but to look ahead, and dream bigger and brighter.
Mehall is the author of five books including The Desert, A Dirtbag Climbing Book. More of his work can be found at climbingzine.com or lukemehall.com.

Signe Persson-Melin (* 1925 in Tomelilla; † 31. August 2022 in Malmö) war eine schwedische Designerin, die hauptsächlich mit Keramik, Glas und Zinn arbeitete.

Ausbildung
Signe Persson-Melin interessierte sich schon früh für das Töpfern. Sie brach ihren Schulgang ab, um in einer kleinen Firma in Lomma, in der Nähe von Malmö, Krüge zu drehen. Sie erhielt ihre Ausbildung Ende der 1940er Jahre in Kopenhagen und an der Kunsthochschule Konstfack in Stockholm.

Leben und Werk
Signe Persson-Melin erlangte ihren Durchbruch auf der Helsingborger Ausstellung 1955 mit Gewürztöpfchen aus Ton mit weißer Zinnglasur, als Deckel diente ein kräftiger Korken und ein deutlicher Schriftzug erklärte den Inhalt. Das war frech und neu und kam direkt beim Publikum an. Während der 1950er und 1960er Jahre machte sie sich einen Namen durch ihre rustikale Gebrauchskeramik in einfachen und funktionellen Formen, sowie Kannen und Schüsseln aus Steingut. Während der 1970er Jahre schuf sie diverse Glasprodukte für die Firma BodaNova, beispielsweise eine Teekanne mit Korkgriff und dazu passendem Glasstövchen. Diese Kanne wurde weltweit plagiiert. Weiterhin hatte sie Aufträge für Höganäs Keramik, Kosta Boda und Rörstrand.

Persson-Melin hat auch mehrere große öffentliche künstlerische Ausschmückungen ausgeführt, so z. B. in der U-Bahn-Station T-Centralen in Stockholm, zusammen mit Anders Österlin (1956–57) und Nya Folkets Hus in Stockholm mit Anders Liljefors (1959–60). Ihre Formsprache in Keramik ließ sich auch direkt auf Zinn überführen, wie die elegante Teekanne in Zinn für die Firma Svenskt Tenn (2004) zeigt.

Während der Jahre 1985–90 und 1993–94 war sie Professor an der Kunsthochschule konstfack in Stockholm. 2002 bekam sie den Kulturpreis der Region Skåne (Interessenverband Region Schonen) dotiert mit 100.000 Kronen und 2003 erhielt sie ein Keramikstipendium von Gustavsberg.

Ab 1955 war sie mit dem Grafiker John Melin verheiratet und hatte ab 1998 ein eigenes Studio in Malmö.

KABN Systems North America Enters into LOI with Torino Power Solutions Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 26, 2019) - Torino Power Solutions Inc. (CSE: TPS) (the "Company" or "Torino") is pleased to announce that the Company and KABN Systems North America Inc. ("KABN North America") have entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") dated November 25, 2019 pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of KABN North America, which will constitute a fundamental change of the Company and that will result in a reverse takeover (the "RTO") of Torino by KABN North America.
KABN North America is a Canadian FinTech company with assets of approximately $1.7 million that specializes in continuous online Identity Verification, Identity Management and Monetization and is currently in development to launch a digital banking and financial services platform. It is developing a financial services platform in North America that consists of:
KABN ID: a blockchain and biometrically based, patent-pending, EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) compliant, "always on" ID validation and verification process at its core.
KABN Card: new types of financial and related services through a payment card-approved, digital currency-linked prepaid card and mobile banking wallet program for a variety of digital currencies and multi-currency fiat transactions.
KABN KASH: a robust loyalty and customer engagement platform.
KABN North America is the exclusive licensee in Canada and the United States of America of the intellectual property (the "Licensed IP") that is comprised in the KABN ID, KABN Card and KABN KASH programs. KABN North America's key shareholders are KABN (Gibraltar) PLC and Crypto KABN Holdings Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which are the licensors of the Licensed IP.
As currently contemplated, immediately prior to the RTO, the Company will complete a 10 old for 1 new share consolidation and issue one post-consolidation common share of the Company for each KABN North America common share being acquired. Assuming completion of a contemplated private placement of approximately 13 million shares by KABN North America prior to completion of the RTO, the shareholders of the Company following the RTO (the "Resulting Issuer") will hold approximately 9.3% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer and the shareholders of KABN North America will hold approximately 90.7% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer. Following completion of the RTO, management of KABN North America will become management of the Resulting Issuer. The directors of the Company will be determined by the parties in due course. The name of the Company is also expected to be changed to a name that reflects the new business of the Resulting Issuer.
The proposed RTO is an arm's length transaction and constitutes a fundamental change under the policies of the CSE and completion is subject to shareholder and CSE approval. Accordingly, trading in the shares of Torino has been halted, and will remain halted until the requirements of the CSE have been met and the resumption of trading is approved by the CSE.

In the statistical history of Arsenal Gerard Keizer appears as just another minor player, a goalkeeper who played a total of 12 first team games for the club. But behind that bald statistic is a really odd story – and one that certainly should not be forgotten.
Gerard Keizer was a player who clearly must have been quite extraordinary, because in the summer of 1930 Herbert Chapman signed him from non-league Margate, and immediately thrust him into the first division side.
In fact Keizer's 12 games were the first 12 games of the title winning 1930/1; Arsenal's first ever championship winning season. Of those 12 we won 8, drew 3 and lost 1.
Keizer was brought in after Dan Lewis, our regular keeper until that point, had suffered a crisis of confidence. Lewis had made the error that cost Arsenal the 1927 cup final, and when he was dropped by Chapman for the 1930 final it is said that his confidence took such a battering he felt unable to start the new season. Meanwhile Charlie Preedy who played in goal in the 1930 final was not seen as a permanent replacement and so Keizer was brought in.
But to find why Keizer was then dropped after such a successful start, we have to dig a little deeper.
Keizer was Dutch. He had joined Ajax aged 16 and by the time he was 20 he was their reserve keeper. In fact Keizer was registered with two clubs (allowable since he was an amateur and the clubs were in different countries). Apparently he would fly back to the Netherlands on Saturday nights to play for Ajax on Sundays.
Maybe it was this that made Chapman drop him as suddenly as he had picked him. Or maybe it was the fact that Keizer never kept a clean sheet during his 12 game spell – although to be fair, Arsenal only kept three clean sheets all season. They won the league not because of their defence but because they scored 127 goals in 42 games.
Whatever the cause, Keyser left at the end of the season, moving to Queens Park Rangers, before dropping his London connection to become Ajax's first choice keeper in 1933. He then played 302 games for the club as they became the dominant force in Dutch football, as well as gaining two Netherlands caps.
In 1945 Keizer flew to London once again to ask Arsenal for help in rebuilding Ajax after the war. Arsenal (themselves seriously affected financially by the war) generously donated a set of kit and some footballs.
This was the start of another period of regular trips between Amsterdam and London for Keizer but in 1947 he was caught with a rather fine collection of five pound notes among the football kits he was carrying, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for smuggling. Whether this secondary business activity had been going on in 1931 and was the cause of Keizer's sudden removal from the club we shall never know.
After his release from prison, Keizer went into business and became one of Amsterdam's leading greengrocers and in 1955 he returned to Ajax as a member of the club's board. He died in 1980 aged 70. He is pictured on Arsenal's Highbury Wall at the Emirates Stadium..
Coming next: Chapman's problem with goalkeepers.

Uncertainty swirls around ETA
Posted: Nov 9, 2020 / 02:02 PM CST / Updated: Nov 9, 2020 / 02:02 PM CST

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (The News Service of Florida) — Florida faces a second impact from Tropical Storm Eta later this week, but the path, along with the future strength of the storm, remains uncertain.
Eta, the record-tying 28th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, moved Monday into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico after saturating the Florida Keys and South Florida with rains up to 10 inches in some areas and leaving more than 40,000 electric customers without power.
But while those outages are expected to be quickly restored, it could be a day or two before it is clear how Eta will move through the gulf.
"Here's the one thing I know for sure is that nobody knows what's next for Tropical Storm Eta," Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz said Monday afternoon. "There's tracks that take it from north of Tampa, to all the way to Louisiana. So, obviously, we would hate to see our friends in Louisiana, you know, deal with another one of these, but we also don't want it to come into the Big Bend area (of Florida)."
Moskowitz said the state has been relatively lucky this year, but officials anticipated a number of named systems to crop up in November, which is the last month of the six-month storm season.
"The one thing that concerns me is that all year-round, the Gulf of Mexico has been a place that develops storms, they don't just dissipate," Moskowitz said. "So, we need to keep our guard up, everyone who is watching this, who potentially is in the path. This is why we say, get your seven days of supplies."
The National Hurricane Center said Eta, which hit Nicaragua as a hurricane before heading toward Florida, could re-strengthen over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, but the system could also be plagued by very dry air preventing rapid intensification back into a hurricane.
The cone of probability Monday morning for the storm's future path ranged from Pensacola to Fort Myers, with the center line moving the system into the Big Bend region southeast of Tallahassee early Saturday.
"Eta could approach the Florida Gulf Coast later this week as a tropical storm, and possibly bring impacts from rain, wind, and storm surge," the hurricane center said. "Interests in this area should monitor the progress of Eta and updates to the forecast this week."
The National Weather Service in Tallassee tweeted Monday morning, "Hazardous marine conditions expected through the week over our Gulf waters."
The U.S. Coast Guard placed the Port of St. Petersburg, Port Manatee and Port of Tampa Bay under condition "Yankee," indicating gale force winds of 39 to 54 mph could arrive within 24 hours.
The hurricane center also was watching two other systems in the Atlantic on Monday, one south of Cuba with a 50 percent chance of formation in the next five days, the other in the mid-Atlantic, moving east with a 70 percent chance of formation. If either reaches tropical storm strength, the 2020 season would surpass the record of 28 named storms set in 2005.

Dr Chapple asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to instances of the abuse of nurses' uniforms during the past few months; and whether he will give his support to a Bill for the State registration of nurses in order to meet this and other evils that are leading to the scarcity of nurses in the ranks of the profession?
The Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr McKenna: During the past few months my attention has not been called to any case of the kind. The police will make inquiry, but so far as they are aware such cases are of very rare occurrence. Recent Bills on the subject of the Registration of Nurses have not touched on this matter, and there would be serious difficulties in framing any provision of the nature suggested. I cannot make any promise with regard to a Bill.
Dr Chapple asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state what precautions are taken by the Labour Exchanges in finding employment for nurses against sending to sick persons untrained, undertrained, or incompetent, and dangerous nurses; whether certificates of training at recognised hospitals are demanded by the Exchange before nurses are recommended for or found employment; what kind of certificates are recognised; what hospitals or institutions are deemed competent to issue certificates; and whether, if State registration and a public register of trained nurses would enable the Labour Exchanges to protect the sick against danger and imposition, he would favour legislation to this end?
Mr Burns: The function of the Labour Exchange is to place persons offering employment and those seeking it into communication with one another. It is for the prospective employer to decide as to the suitability or otherwise of the persons whom he desires to engage, and to indicate to the Exchange the nature of the qualifications required. It is no part of the function of the Labour Exchange to pronounce upon or to recognise the validity of certificates of any kind, but if an employer states that he requires applicants to possess a certificate of any particular kind, this, with all other available information, is notified to the applicants by the Exchange, and every effort is made to submit only those applicants who have the qualifications desired by the employer.
Dr Chapple: May I ask if a prospective employer requires a "trained nurse" and applies to an Exchange, how is that Exchange to determine whether a nurse requiring a situation is trained or not?
Mr Burns: The Labour Exchange superintendent would have to exercise his discretion on that point.
Dr Chapple: asked the Secretary of State for War whether, under the Regulations of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service, it is compulsory for a staff nurse or sister to hold a certificate of three years' training in a recognised hospital?
Dr Chapple asked whether there is an ample supply of applicants to fill staff nursing vacancies in Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service?
Mr Tennant: Yes, Sir, the supply is ample.
Major Chapple asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the increasing urgency of enabling those in need of nurses to distinguish those who are fully trained from those who are not, and in recognition of the national work performed by nurses in the care of the sick and wounded, he will bring in a Bill on similar lines to the one submitted to him by the Central Committee for the State Registration of Nurses?
The Prime Minister:This is a highly controversial proposal, as my hon. Friend is aware, and I cannot at the present time undertake to introduce it.
Major Chappleasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the certificate of training presented in evidence of qualification by London Hospital nurses applying for posts in the Army service states that the nurse has had three years' training in the hospital or only two years' training?
Mr MacPherson: As I informed my hon. and gallant Friend on Thursday last, steps are always taken to ascertain that a nurse has completed the necessary period of training and service in the wards.
Sir C. Henry: Is there any differentiation in the nurses that come from the London Hospital and from the others?
Major Chapple: Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he told us that a three years' certificate of training is necessary for appointment to the Army Nursing Service, and I ask him in the present question, Does the London Hospital certificate of training say two years or three years?
Mr MacPherson: I cannot add anything to the answer I have given; but I would like to point out that the three years includes two years' training, and one year's service in the wards.
Major Chapple: Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that he told us, in reply to a question on 18th July, that time spent in private nursing is not allowed to count towards the qualifying period of three years? Does he tell us now that two years' training is all that is necessary in the hospital, and that the time spent in private nursing makes up the period?
Major Chapple: May I call the attention of the right hon. Gentleman to the previous reply; will he explain the discrepancy in the two replies?
Mr Speaker: The right hon. Gentleman has explained.

Trump's America leaves no room for compassion
By Rev. John C. Perkin
Donald Trump has issued a directive to the military to begin planning a military parade: hardware and members of the armed forces parading past the White House, the Capitol, and along the way past the Trump Hotel. All this, analysts seem to think, is simply to satisfy a childish fantasy about displaying power.
I think the prospect of military parades has a much deeper implication than that. While such parades have more traditionally been the preserve of dictatorships in the Southern Hemisphere, Trump now wants the same display of tanks and jets in Washington.
It didn't take long after the White House confirmed that the directive is, in fact, true, for analysts to start comparing the current American political climate to that of ancient Rome. Distract the masses from the problems of the state, give them bread and circuses. The allusion to bread and circuses is a reference to ancient Rome; the writer Juvenal used the phrase to speak to the neglect of the citizenship to wider Roman concerns as long as their basic needs of food and entertainment were met. The implication was that the sense of civic duty was being eroded through the government's ability to keep the population subdued in the face of national challenge by ensuring they were distracted by various and diverse amusements. Noam Chomsky suggested that "maintaining public attention diverted away from the real social problems, captivated by matters of no real importance" is one way in which authoritarian governments maintain their grip on power, especially in the face of challenge.
I think that the real implications of such displays of power are much deeper than simply distraction. It is a sign of bully power at work, and the consequences may be especially strong in the United States.
The Trump administration has been compared to the ancient Roman emperors, and those comparisons continue in the media with this latest distraction from the real business of state. The distractions available in ancient Rome included triumphal parades and also gladiatorial contests, which not only distracted attention from war losses but prepared people for more war, inuring them to pain and death and toughening them against such weaknesses as compassion. Seneca, writing in the first century, noted that pity was the "vice of a timid mind." The Romans were not noted for their compassion, and while compassion did exist, it was not universally extended. The degree of compassion felt by a citizen was determined by the status of the victim: the higher the status, the greater the compassion, and the lower the status, the greater the indifference. The gladiatorial contests contributed to the hardening of Roman hearts to the needs of those who were weaker.
The projected displays of military hardware in the U.S. may serve the same function, not only distracting the populace from civic concerns, but also reminding them of raw power and emboldening them to shy away from such "weak" values as compassion and mercy, especially for those already marginalized. The implications are frightening.
Trump's bid to Make America Great Again is simply an affirmation of the triumph of power, with a consequent loss of compassion. America may be on the road to becoming great on the world stage, but that greatness comes at a cost of being human, caring and looking out for others, particularly the weak. Jesus said, "Whoever would be great must be last of all and a servant of all." I prefer the model that Jesus sets before us, both personally and societally.
