Review each of the tabs below for details regarding how to deal with storm damage to forests.
Do you have woodlands damaged by the May 16, 2017 tornado?
If so, DNR encourages you to read the information on the other tabs of this page, then contact your local DNR forester with any additional questions.
Read out the "After The Storm" handout for the May 16th Tornado [PDF].
Follow these steps when encountering storm damage.
Make a simple map showing the extent and type of damage. Note trees with broken tops, broken limbs, fallen trees, severely bent trees, blocked roads and trails. Take photographs!
Professional assistance is available to help you assess your situation and make informed decisions on how to proceed. For a more detailed assessment to determine value losses and how to set up and conduct a salvage timber sale we recommend that you contract with a private forestry consultant. They will know reliable loggers, local market conditions and regulatory requirements.
What is salvage? Salvage harvest is a type of logging method used in forest areas that have been damaged by a natural disturbance.
#2 - How much time do I have before the trees deteriorate and lose economic value?
Damaged and broken live wood created from storm damage will be host material to many insects and fungi. With the exception of oak (as mentioned above), prompt removal and maximum utilization of damaged material will limit development of various pests and diseases to a stand. If salvageable trees are still standing and have branches with green leaves, they will not degrade significantly in the next 6 to 12 months. Trees which have blown over or are not standing should be salvaged before next spring. Wood on the ground begins to degrade immediately (although there are some differences in species as to how fast stain and decay enter the wood).
Prioritize salvage removals based on tree species, economics and decay rates. Decay rates of tree species vary and could be a consideration in salvage prioritization if necessary. If economics dictate, harvesting less resistant species first should be considered. Slightly or non-resistant species includes ash, aspen, butternut, elm, basswood, hackberry, hickories and maples. Moderately resistant species includes black cherry. Resistant species includes white oaks and black walnut. Very resistant species includes black locust (source: http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplgtr/fplgtr190/chapter_14.pdf [PDF, exit DNR]). Red and black oaks would fall under slightly or non-resistant to decay (source: Chapter 14 of "Tree Disease Concepts" by Paul Manion). Review "Marketing Dead Timber in the Upper Midwest" [PDF, exit DNR] for evaluating the marketability of dead trees.
Monitoring the damaged site on a regular basis for new or developing pest problems is recommended.
Limit disturbance, such as harvest or construction, in adjacent undamaged areas of the stand for one to two years to reduce additional stress to the system and allow the area to recover. Economics of setting up a salvage harvest may prohibit or limit this precaution.
#3 - Do any of my trees have value for wildlife?
Yes, you may consider retaining a few storm-damaged trees (large diameter reserve trees, mast and cavity trees, snags and coarse woody debris) for wildlife habitat. Species that may benefit are red-headed woodpeckers, Northern flickers and several species of bats. Reasons to not leave dead trees may include areas where tree retention is deemed a threat to human health and safety and/or where leaving them would interfere with methods to control insect and disease outbreaks.
#4 - Am I required to clean up downed trees and forest debris (slash) caused by a storm?
No, however cleanup is desirable to reduce the future potential for wildfire and insect infestation. Clean up will likely be necessary to have new trees grow naturally or to supplemental plants on the affected property. If the down trees create a health, safety and welfare risk, you may have civil liability for a known hazard. When slash results from human activity (including salvage logging), slash must be removed satisfactorily from adjoining properties (Wis. State Statue 26.12 (6) (7)).
Yes, if your property is entered into one of the Wisconsin Forest Tax Programs MFL/FCL. Contact your local DNR forester for details and recommendations.
In almost all cases--except for boundary trees or cases where the timber rights are severed--the landowner on which the tree was growing (i.e., the root ball/stem) owns the tree. With boundary trees, usually both landowners are responsible and/or own the tree in question.
How to determine boundary/cutting lines in blow down?
Individual landowners should work with their neighbors to agree on boundary lines if there is a concern or question regarding who owns certain timber. Given the extreme conditions that result during blowdowns, it is often impractical or impossible to obtain formal surveys in a timely fashion. So, the best advice is to work together to address the problem. Consultant foresters can help.
Leave a buffer area around water features such as streams, lakes and small ponds.
Trees, logs, root wads and branches play an important role in creating healthy, diverse lakes and streams. Research has found waters with greater habitat diversity also have more diverse populations of fish. Wood plays an important role in creating habitat diversity.
As trees fall into streams, they help shape the channel and provide shade, shelter and feeding opportunities for aquatic organisms. In lakes, fallen trees provide shelter for small fish and habitat for insect larvae and small plants. Fallen trees play such an important role in aquatic habitats that many restoration programs are working to add wood back to streams and lakes.
Your property may contain small ponds or wetland pockets which are both important features for amphibians such as frogs, toads and salamanders. Leaving downed trees in and immediately adjacent to these wetlands will enhance the habitat for these amphibians, which will use the logs for years to come as they slowly decay.
See Wisconsin Best Management Practices for Water Quality for more information.
#6 - Where can I get advice on site preparation and reforestation?
Many tree species regenerate naturally following harvest, including aspen, oak and maple. White, red and jack pine may not regenerate naturally. Evaluate the harvested area after two to three years as supplemental planting may be needed. For more information contact a local DNR forester.
#7 - Where can I get trees to plant?
Either from the DNR nursery or private nurseries. DNR recommends replanting with native species. Order online or contact the Wilson State Nursery at 608-375-4123 for more information and links.
Two line chestnut borer is a threat to all oak species in southern Wisconsin. The drought of 2012 caused an increase in population of this insect pest, which often remains high one to three (or more) years after a drought.
The borer will be readily attacking severely damaged oaks with adults laying eggs from June through August. Larval boring damage symptoms may not be observed for a year or more. Repeated attack and damage is likely for one to three years as a storm-damaged site recovers.
Salvaging damaged oaks after the oak wilt risk period is recommended and avoiding harvesting for one to two years in adjacent undamaged parts of a stand would also be recommended to reduce further stress and risk of additional damage by this insect. Markets and tolerance of additional damage is also a consideration in decision making.
Oak wilt is a major pathogen that poses a high risk for introduction to new areas following storm damage, especially during the critical infection period of April 1 to July 15 in southern Wisconsin. Reducing further risk of infection by delaying salvage in high oak component stands would be recommended.
Following the oak harvest guidelines is recommended. Consult a forest health specialist for variances in special circumstances. Monitoring the damaged site for oak wilt for one to two years is recommended and consideration of oak wilt mitigation efforts may be considered if necessary.
Pine engraver bark beetles are a primary concern for damaged red, white and jack pines. Storm damaged trees and blow down pine log and branch material will be prime breeding material for bark beetles.
Bark beetle population build up will allow for mass attack to adjacent health trees. Damaged pine stands should be salvaged ideally within six weeks of the storm event to reduce beetle build up, secondary woodborer damage and blue stain degrade that will reduce market value.
Remove all fresh cut logs from landings within three weeks if possible. Monitor residual pine slash for bark beetle build up or run over material with harvesting equipment to facilitate desiccation.
Heterobasidion root disease is a major pathogen of pines, in particular red and white pines in southern Wisconsin. Storm damage may have caused open wounds that have allowed for infection. Since it may take four or more years for symptoms of this disease to appear, long term monitoring of such sites is recommended. Stump treatments during salvage harvesting should be considered to reduce further risk from this disease.
If the storm has created wounds that have exposed the wood under the bark, bacteria and fungi that cause decay can enter the tree. Generally, decay is limited to the wood present at the time the wound occurs; it is walled off from the wood produced later.
The rate of decay is variable depending on the species of the tree and the species of fungus. In general, aspen, birch basswood, red maple and jack pine decay quicker than oak, hickory and sugar maple. Larger wounds that approach covering more than one-third of the tree's circumference can eventually cause a weak spot in a tree that will be a likely spot for the tree to fail during a high wind event.
Large, old trees with massive wounds (covering more than one-third of the tree's circumference) and few remaining limbs should be removed, as they will not survive long anyway. 'Topping' will not increase the tree's health and should be avoided.
Young oak trees with massive damage can be removed and allowed to resprout from the stump.
Non-oaks - Broken limbs can be pruned at any time. These pruning wounds do not require a wound dressing and should be allowed to heal on their own.
Proper pruning requires leaving the branch collar intact. This will ensure the best chances of wound closure.
The threat of wildfire is very real in Wisconsin. Many acres of dead and dying trees, brush and other vegetation make this threat even greater. While you work to remove the storm-damaged debris on your property, take time to guard against the possibility of starting a wildfire and minimizing the damage that a wildfire could do to your property should one move through the area.
Landowners should keep several things in mind when protecting their propety from the threat of wildfire.
98 percent of all wildfires in Wisconsin are caused by people. Take care to keep from starting a fire when doing things such as disposing of ash from wood stoves, burning brush piles and working with equipment outdoors.
Firefighters cannot help save your home if they cannot reach it. Your driveway needs to be wide enough and have enough vertical clearance to accommodate emergency vehicles.
Minimizing flammable vegetation close to buildings and maintaining the area 100 to 200 feet around your home can lower the intensity of an approaching wildfire. For more information, read the Firewise Landscaping Guide [PDF].
Conduct your own home ignition zone assessment [PDF] to find out where the trouble spots might be on your property.
Take a few minutes to watch the video Wildfire in Wisconsin: Would your home survive? [VIDEO Length 8:48].
Many townships and villages have established sites for collection of storm debris (check with your local township or county emergency government office for more information). Check with your town clerk for updated information. Contact information for most townships is available on county websites.
Firewood easily transports harmful pests and other problems for yard trees and forests. Firewood that looks clean may actually be hiding insects like emerald ash borer or gypsy moth, or the tiny spores of a tree-killing fungus like oak wilt. To learn more, read DNR's firewood information.
Individuals wishing to burn legal materials (e.g. leaves, brush and pine needles) may need to obtain an annual written permit and then call or check online on the day of the burn for the daily burn restrictions. These no-cost permits (if needed) can be obtained at local ranger stations, emergency fire wardens, online or by simply calling 1-888-WIS-BURN (947-2876). For more information on burning permit laws and regulations, review DNR's burning permit information.
There is a very real likelihood that burning permits will be suspended during spring fire season. Emergency burning restrictions may also be in effect at some point.
Regardless of emergency burning restrictions, any individual who sets fires on any land at any time and allows it to become a forest fire shall be liable for all expenses incurred in the suppression of the fire by the state or town in which the fire occurred.
Any person whose property is injured or destroyed by fires may recover in a civil action the value of timber or any other damages suffered from persons causing such fires.
Managing storm damaged woods [PDF] (adapted by William Klase, UWEX Educator).
Here are a few tips to consider when dealing with independent contractors.
Get references from other landowners that have worked with the forester or logger you are thinking of dealing with. Visit previous logging jobs if possible.
Get a contract that is designed to protect your interests. Review the contract BEFORE signing it.
During the harvest, stay out of harm's way but make yourself visible. Ask questions of the logger. Be careful not to interfere with the logging operation, but your presence and interest (or oversight from a cooperating forester) can help assure the job is done right.
Work with loggers who are properly trained in logging safety and Wisconsin best management practices. If available in your area, consider contracting with a Wisconsin certified master logger or an SFI (Sustainable Forest Initiative) qualified logger.
Read Beware of Timber Theft and Fraud [PDF].
Most landowners will benefit from the assistance of a qualified forester in determining the cutting specifications and marketing of their wood. Foresters are available to assist in all aspects of the salvage and beyond. If your woodlot has scattered damage, you may wish to have a forester examine it to determine if additional trees should be marked for harvest along with the salvage.
Should you choose to forego the help of a professional forester and contract directly with a logger, this information and sample timber sale contract are available for use.
For help dealing with hazardous yard trees, contact a trained arborist [exit DNR] (i.e. tree service company) who specializes in pruning, removal and other hazard tree mitigation work.
Prior to any harvesting, you must file a county cutting notice with your county clerk's office. Removal of forest products from tax delinquent lands is not allowed. Coordinate with your consulting forester or logger to determine who will complete this form. Contact your county clerk's office or visit their website to obtain a form.
If your property is in the Managed Forest Law (MFL) or Forest Crop Law (FCL) program, a cutting notice must be submitted to your DNR forester 30 days before cutting begins. The DNR forester will review the proposed cutting to ensure it is consistent with sound forest management prior to approval. Other mandatory practices may be revised by mutual consent of the landowner and the DNR as a result of silvicultural requirements, catastrophic occurrence or other changing conditions. If liquidating a stand because of catastrophic loss, the DNR can assist you in meeting the requirements of the MFL and FCL.
Many resources are available to landowners, foresters and loggers to responsibly harvest woodlands in Wisconsin. Given the widespread damage, however, some generally accepted forestry practices will not be applicable or consistent with management goals following a storm. Here are some of the common resources people rely on for forest management information and examples of modifications that may be necessary.
Invasive species thrive with disturbance and are easily moved on equipment during any recovery activity. Forestry best management practices (BMPs) for invasive species provide considerations for harvesting timber without promoting the spread of invasive plants, pests or diseases. This manual was developed offering many options to choose from so your practices fit the situation. It is critical to consider invasive species during recovery to minimize the spread and ensure that recovery will happen efficiently. More information on forestry BMPs for invasive species can be found on the Wisconsin Council on Forestry website [exit DNR].
Forestry best management practices for water quality can provide guidance on methods to harvest timber that protect water quality. Given widespread damage, some BMPs may not be applicable to salvage operations. For instance, the BMPs recommend maintaining 60 square feet of basal area per acre in riparian management zones (RMZs). However, there may not be that much standing timber left following a blowdown. In those instances, it will not be possible to meet that BMP. Read more about forestry BMPs for water quality [PDF].
Biomass harvesting guidelines (BHGs) are used when the whole tree is harvested. In general, it is desirable to retain a certain amount of tree tops and limbs on site to provide wildlife habitat and protect soil nutrient levels. However, given the nature and location of the storm, it is recommended that for salvage operations the entire damaged tree be harvested to lower the risk of wildfire and prevent insect outbreaks. The BHGs recognize that under certain circumstances, retaining woody material on site may not be consistent with management objectives (in this case, lowering wildfire risks and preventing insect infestations). More information on biomass harvesting guidelines can be found on the Wisconsin Council on Forestry website [exit DNR].

Reason for the Season: Local women connects with parents through Christmas decorations | Journal-news
nikholas December 13, 2021 4 min read
INWOOD — Kim Funk pointed to the picture on the wall behind her with a lump in her throat as she talked.
"That was probably their last dance together," she said.
The photo showed an older couple swaying together during a slow dance, the look of love clear in his eyes as he gazed upon his bride. That couple was Funk's parents, and the picture was taken in 2003 at her nephew's wedding.
"He's just looking at her with such admiration," she said.
They were married 62 years when her father passed.
While her parents are always in her heart — Funk laughing as she shared how she talks to her parents when she's in the kitchen — the daughter holds this time of year dear to her heart, using it as a way to remember and honor her parents, both of whom have passed.
Each Christmas decoration in Kim Funk's Inwood home holds a special place in her heart, as her house is aglow during the holiday season.
Journal photo by Jessica Wilt
The warm glow of Christmas lights brightened Funk's living room as a Hallmark Christmas movie played on the TV, almost like being in a winter wonderland. She shared stories of the different pieces, like the papier-mâché Santas her parents made, but turning into a bedroom, she paused in front of a small wooden tree.
"This is Mom," she said.
Her mom painted and decorated the tree when she was in assisted living, Funk placing a cardinal in front of the tree as a symbol of her guardian angel.
Amid Kim Funk's holiday decorations is a Christmas tree her mom decorated while in assisted living, one guarded by a cardinal as a symbol of her angel in Heaven and one that holds a special place in the hearts of Funk and her husband.
Funk then pointed to carolers placed in the window, a white cloth acting as snow to give the perfect holiday feel.
"I have been a Christmas-crazy person since I was a kid," Funk said. "I always decorated my room when I was a kid. My parents always made Christmas very special, and as I got older, my dad and I, it kind of went into a friendly competition as to who could have the best decorations."
She laughed and continued: "I would go to their house and be like, 'Where'd you get that?' He'd say, 'Big Lots,' and I'd go to Big Lots, and they wouldn't have any. 'See, you must have bought the last one.'"
Funk recalled being a child and always being the first one up Christmas morning. On one particular Christmas morning, she checked the tree in the wee hours only to find Santa had not yet arrived. She checked once more, seeing no presents yet again.
Funk went into the bedroom she shared with her older sister, who promptly told her to go to sleep.
So she did.
When she arose once more at 5 a.m., the room was filled with presents.
It's memories like those that keep Funk in the holiday spirit year in and year out as she carries on the traditions that her parents once started. On Christmas Eve, the extended family will be at Funk's house for dinner, just like her parents would cook once upon a time.
"My dad passed away in 2004. My mom had Alzheimer's, so I moved her in with me," Funk said. "They always had Christmas Eve with the extended family, cousins and everyone, at their house. When I moved Mom in here with me, I started having it.
"One year, I sent out emails to everybody and asked them to tell me their favorite recipe they had at my mom and dad's. Everybody gave me different things, so that was my meal that year. I made homemade cinnamon rolls to send home with everybody for Christmas morning. Those are the things my parents did."
Coming together in the spirit of the holidays, sharing the fun times and verbosity, is something her parents instilled in Funk, so much so that she now hosts open houses for her neighbors to come together and enjoy her decorations.
"I've had it here probably five or six times since we've lived in the development, but I just like sharing," she said. "My parents were the same way. They loved having people in, preparing food for them. They just loved it, so that's my connection to them."
She paused and motioned toward the houses of her neighbors: "To me, this is one of the best developments in Berkeley County. There's only 35 lots. We all know that if any of us need anything, we're there. It's just wonderful. The people here are just wonderful."
This year, in particular, the open house, which she held two weekends ago, was special, because her sister visited for the first time since their mom passed in 2008, as did her son, who she hadn't seen in two years due to the pandemic.
During that time, she got to know her niece better, a niece who's a whiz in the kitchen and had a love for the holidays in her heart.
"She's carrying on the tradition in Louisville," Funk said with a smile.

Care workers fear many colleagues will quit
Four in five of care workers expect colleagues to quit – with low pay being one of many factors amid the Covid-19 danger, according to a poll commissioned by the GMB union.
In the survey, conducted by Survation on behalf of GMB for ITV News, 99% of frontline care workers said they still hadn't been tested for Covid-19 and that 79% of respondents thought it was likely the care sector would see staff shortages as people were unwilling to work at current levels of pay amid the increased risk posed by Covid-19.
Other findings from the survey of more than 2,200 care workers include:
Almost three quarters (71%) think colleagues will die after being infected at work;
One in five care home workers said they had considered quitting over the lack of PPE in their workplace;
Almost half (44%) say they still haven't got adequate PPE;
85% of those without adequate PPE feel their health is being put at risk;
86% are worried they will pass Covid-19 on to their family or household.
"Care workers are expected to keep our loved ones safe with inadequate protection, poverty wages and a pittance in sick pay if they get ill," said GMB national officer Rachel Harrison.
"They're terrified – not just for themselves, but for the people they look after and their families at home.
"This isn't just about money – care workers are so committed to the people they care for. But you have to ask yourself if you'd risk your life and the lives of your family for less than £9 an hour, some on no sick pay and not even the basic equipment to keep you safe – because that's what we're asking care workers to do right now.
"Our care workers are fighting a war against this pandemic – that's why GMB is calling for an active service payment and sick pay to be paid at the National Living Wage for all care workers."

Gleisweiler (pfälzisch Glääswoiler) ist eine Ortsgemeinde im Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße in Rheinland-Pfalz. Sie gehört der Verbandsgemeinde Edenkoben an, innerhalb derer sie gemessen an der Einwohnerzahl die fünftkleinste Ortsgemeinde darstellt. Gleisweiler ist ein staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort.

Geographie

Lage
Der Weinbauort liegt 9 km südlich von Edenkoben zwischen dem Biosphärenreservat Pfälzerwald und dem Rhein. Westlich erstreckt sich die Haardt, wie der Ostrand des Pfälzerwaldes genannt wird. Nachbargemeinden sind – im Uhrzeigersinn – Burrweiler, Böchingen, Frankweiler, Böchingen (Exklave), Flemlingen (Exklave) und Walsheim (Exklave).

Die Ortsgemeinde Gleisweiler liegt bei etwa  am Hang der Haardt und am Fuß des  hohen Teufelsbergs an der Deutschen Weinstraße. Zu Gleisweiler gehören zusätzlich die Wohnplätze Papiermühle Hainbachtal und Sanatorium Badstraße. Der südlich der Bebauung verlaufende Hainbach bildet die Grenze zu Frankweiler.

Im Mittleren Pfälzerwald existiert mit dem Gleisweiler Wald zudem eine Exklave der Gemeinde. Diese wird vom Eußerbach durchflossen, der in diesem Bereich in seinem Oberlauf Katzenbach heißt. Von links nimmt er vor Ort den Katzentalbach auf.

Klima
Gleisweiler hat durch die Lage an der Deutschen Weinstraße im Lee des Pfälzerwaldes ein mildes Klima und nennt sich selbst das "pfälzische Nizza".

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde im Jahr 1006 erstmals unter dem Namen "Glizenwilere" urkundlich erwähnt. König Heinrich II. hatte den Ort zusammen mit Hochstadt und Wollmesheim dem Domstift zu Speyer geschenkt. Im Jahr 1414 verkaufte Ritter Wolfgang, Richter von Knittelsheim seine Güter in Gleisweiler an Pfalzgraf Ludwig III., außerdem hatte Kurpfalz die Oberbotmäßigkeit und Leibeigene im Ort. 1587 verkaufte das Domstift Speyer seinen Teil an den Rechten über Gleisweiler an Johann Kasimir von Pfalz-Simmern, der zu der Zeit Verweser von Kurpfalz war. Der Ort kam zum Gericht des Siebeldinger Tals, das zum kurpfälzischen Oberamt Germersheim gehörte.

Nach 1792 hatten französische Revolutionstruppen die Region besetzt und nach dem Frieden von Campo Formio (1797) annektiert. Von 1798 bis 1814 gehörte das Dorf zum französischen Departement Donnersberg, war dem Kanton Edenkoben zugeordnet und war Sitz einer eigenen Mairie, die zusätzlich das benachbarte Frankweiler umfasste. 1815 hatte die Gemeinde insgesamt 613 Einwohner. Aufgrund der auf dem im selben Jahr stattfindenden Wiener Kongress getroffenen Vereinbarungen und einem Tauschvertrag mit Österreich kam die Region 1816 zum Königreich Bayern. Ab 1818 war die Gemeinde Gleisweiler dem Landkommissariat Landau im bayerischen Rheinkreis; aus ersteren ging anschließend das Bezirksamt Landau hervor.

Ab 1939 war der Ort Bestandteil des Landkreises Landau in der Pfalz. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Gemeinde innerhalb der französischen Besatzungszone Teil des damals neu gebildeten Landes Rheinland-Pfalz. Im Zuge der ersten rheinland-pfälzischen Verwaltungsreform wechselte Gleisweiler am 7. Juni 1969 in den neu geschaffenen Landkreis Landau-Bad Bergzabern, der 1978 in Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße umbenannt wurde. 1972 wurde die Gemeinde der ebenfalls neu gebildeten Verbandsgemeinde Edenkoben zugeordnet.

Religion
2013 waren 37,8 Prozent der Einwohner katholisch und 37,1 Prozent evangelisch. Die übrigen gehörten einer anderen Religion an oder waren konfessionslos. Die Katholiken gehören zum Bistum Speyer, die Evangelischen zur Protestantischen Landeskirche Pfalz.

Zur katholischen Gemeinde St. Stephanus gehören die Katholiken aus Gleisweiler und aus Frankweiler; das sind zusammen etwa 450 Menschen. Sie werden vertreten durch den Gemeindeausschuss. Die Gottesdienste werden in der Pfarrkirche St. Stephan in Gleisweiler gefeiert, die tagsüber für Besichtigung und Andacht geöffnet ist. Eine aktive Gruppe der Gemeinde sind die Messdiener.

Der mit Wirkung zum 1. Advent 2015 entstandenen katholischen Pfarrei Hl. Anna Edenkoben gehört die Gemeinde Gleisweiler mit Frankweiler an.

Politik

Gemeinderat
Der Gemeinderat in Gleisweiler besteht aus zwölf Ratsmitgliedern, die bei der Kommunalwahl am 26. Mai 2019 in einer Mehrheitswahl gewählt wurden, und dem ehrenamtlichen Ortsbürgermeister als Vorsitzendem. Bei den Kommunalwahlen 2009 fanden personalisierte Verhältniswahlen statt.

Die Sitzverteilung im Gemeinderat:

Bürgermeister
Thorsten Rothgerber (Grüne) wurde am 25. Juni 2019 Ortsbürgermeister von Gleisweiler. Bei der Direktwahl am 26. Mai 2019 hatte er sich mit einem Stimmenanteil von 69,85 % gegen den bisherigen Amtsinhaber Hartmut Brenner (parteilos) durchgesetzt. Brenner war selbst erst am 7. Januar 2019 ernannt worden, nachdem er bereits als seitheriger Erster Beigeordneter aufgrund des berufsbedingten Rücktritts von Ortsbürgermeister Robert Vogl (parteilos) seit Oktober 2018 die Amtsgeschäfte geführt hatte. Vogl wiederum hatte das Amt am 14. April 2015 übernommen, um eine zehnmonatige Vakanz zu beenden, die entstanden war, weil sich bei der Kommunalwahl 2014 kein Kandidat gefunden hatte. Die Amtsgeschäfte wurden in dieser Zeit vom Vertretungsbeauftragten Matthias Hertel kommissarisch ausgeübt. Bis zur Wahl 2014 hatte Jörg Keller (CDU) das Amt fünf Jahre inne.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten

Bauwerke
Auf dem Kittenberg befinden sich die Reste der Burg Kittenberg, einer frühmittelalterlichen Wallburg.

Der Kurpfälzische Zehnthof wurde 1753 unter Kurfürst Karl Theodor nach Plänen des kurpfälzischen Hofbaumeisters Sigismund Zeller als katholisches Pfarrhaus und Zehnthof erbaut. Die viergeschossig an den Hang gelehnte Anlage gilt als wohl größtes Pfarrhaus der Pfalz. Der Umbau des Hauses erfolgte zwischen 1985 und 1987 mit der politischen Gemeinde zum Gemeindezentrum und im oberen Stock zur separaten Pfarrwohnung.

1760–62 wurde die katholische Kirche St. Stephan von dem kurpfälzischen Hofbaumeister Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti errichtet. Der Saalbau mit Eckpilastern wird von einem pilastergegliederten Chor begrenzt. An der Nordseite befindet sich der ehemalige Chorturm aus dem Jahr 1354. Sein letztes Geschoss ist über einem Rundbogenfries vorgekragt und mit einem Walmdach gedeckt; dies spricht für die Funktion eines Wehrturms. Im Erdgeschoss unter dem Sterngewölbe befindet sich ein erkerartig vorspringender Sakramentsschrein, welcher um das Jahr 1500 errichtet wurde. Ihr gegenüber steht die nach Martin Bucer benannt protestantische Kirche.

Das Kurhaus wurde im Jahre 1844 nach den Plänen von Leo von Klenze errichtet. Der im Park gelegene Gartenpavillon "Sonnentempel" (ca. 1780) wurde aus Landau in der Pfalz hierher versetzt. Die halbkreisförmig gestellten Säulen öffnen sich nach Süden.
Bedeutend sind auch der Torbogen beim Haus Bergstraße 4 (bez. 1619) und ein Torbogen aus dem Jahre 1823 mit "Bergmannszeichen" beim Haus Badstraße 9/11. Historisch interessant ist ebenfalls das Fachwerkhaus beim spätmittelalterlichen "Hinzlochbrunnen". Die Walddusche wurde 1848 als Kurbadeanlage zur Kaltwasseranwendung im benachbarten Hainbachtal aus Sandsteinquadern erbaut.

Zudem befindet sich auf der Gemarkung von Gleisweiler die Trifelsblick-Hütte.

Natur
Das Kurhaus ist von einer umfangreichen Parkanlage mit imposanten Mammutbäumen und mediterranen Pflanzen umgeben. Ein dortiger Mammutbaum war 2010 46 Meter hoch; sein Brusthöhendurchmesser betrug 2,49 Meter. Am südlichen Rand der Ortsgemeinde befindet sich das Naturschutzgebiet Haardtrand – Faulenberg und im Norden das Naturschutzgebiet Haardtrand – Annaberg.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Wirtschaftstrends
Neben Weinbau, Gaststätten und Pensionen sowie zwei kleinen Gewerbebetrieben gibt es im Ort keine Unternehmungen.

Weinanbau
Gleisweiler ist ein Winzerort und als solcher Teil des Weinanbaugebiets Pfalz. Die Weinberge befinden sich nördlich und östlich des Siedlungsgebiets. Eine bekannte Weinlage ist die Gleisweiler Hölle, die zur Großlage Bischofskreuz gehört. Ein Wingert war im Besitz des CDU-Politikers Heiner Geißler. Seit 2007 wird die "Gleisweiler Hölle" laut WeinGuide Gault Millau zu den zehn besten Lagen der Südpfalz gerechnet.

Kurklinik

1844 wurde in Gleisweiler die erste Kaltwasser- und Molken-Heilanstalt Deutschlands von Dr. Ludwig Schneider eröffnet. Die Klinik war ein Privatunternehmen des Arztes, der das Haus mehr als dreißig Jahre lang leitete. Das schlossartige klassizistische Klinikgebäude wurde nach Plänen des königlich-bayerischen Hofbaumeisters Leo von Klenze errichtet. Die zur Molken-Heilanstalt zugehörige Melkerei wurde so eingerichtet, dass die Badegäste in den Oberstuben durch verschließbare Löcher im Boden die Luft der Kuh- und Ziegenställe einatmen konnten. Die Verbindung von Wasser-, Molken- und Traubenkur machte die Anstalt weithin berühmt und zog Badegäste aus ganz Europa an.

Walddusche
Eine Besonderheit ist die 1848 mit einer Wasserzuführung aus behauenem Buntsandstein errichtete und bis 1878 betriebene Walddusche – Deutschlands erste. Sie wurde später durch einen Erdrutsch von der Natur zurückerobert und erst 1990 wiederentdeckt.

1991 startete der damalige Bürgermeister Josef Götz (†) mit freiwilligen Helfern die Ausgrabung. 1992 wurde ein Förderverein gegründet, dessen Mitglieder Deutschlands einzigartige Dusche bis heute instand halten. Am 29. Juni 1996 wurde die Anlage mit 80 m langer Zulaufrinne eingeweiht und der Allgemeinheit zur freien Nutzung übergeben. Sie steht zumindest April bis Oktober offen und liefert in einem aus Sandstein gemauerten, oben offenen Bauwerk einen 3 m hohen Strahl von 8–12 °C kaltem Wasser aus dem Hainbach.

Verkehr
Durch die Gemarkung von Gleisweiler verlaufen die Landesstraßen 507 und 512; erstere ist östlich der Bebauung in Nord-Süd-Richtung trassiert. Die Gemeinde ist über die Buslinie 501 im Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar an das Nahverkehrsnetz angebunden. Durch den Ort verlaufen der Pfälzer Keschdeweg sowie der Pfälzer Mandelpfad.

Red Sorghum

Essay Preview: Red Sorghum
Claire Huot China's New Cultural Scene
The film Red Sorghum was one of the most popular Fifth Generation films in China and Abroad. As an adolescent American kid, probably the average, I got to see a new perspective of China through this class. I wanted to compare the West's interpretation with Chinas'. One of the first things I did was compare Chinese cinema to well known American cinema.
Zhang Yimou's first film as director, Red Sorghum was immensely popular at home and abroad. The film follows a popular novel with its point of view; an off-stage, present-day male narrator whose own life is ancient and minute compared to the family he was grateful to have been associated with. Compared to a classic American Movie this is very much the same. The movie I am talking about is Legends of the fall. In almost the exact same way this movie was made. An older Indian gentleman begins to tell the story he lived. He grew up in a great family, with great traditions. Then he narrates the tale of a family and its struggles through love, war, bitterness, and bad times. Its starts with that voice, on a blank screen: "I will tell you the story of my grandpa and grandma..." In LOTF an older Indian man starts telling the story of "Tristan's stormy birth" We then see the hero at a very young age, fighting a bear. In Red Sorghum instead of the expected old granny, we see a beautiful, twenty-something woman who, looks very attractive.
When Nine arrives at the distillery and rallies all the men together to work, its comparable to the first time Susanna arrives at the ranch. Run by mostly men, she has some women, but the men all look at her with admiration. Right away Tristan is taken to her. When she is out riding and lassoing the cow, is like Nine rounding up the Sorghum to work. Tristan automatically chases a nearby Mustang and catches it. Much like Grandpa catching the first "thief" on the travel through the sorghum fields. He comes back with a mustang, and Grandpa now has Nine's appreciation.
There are many script similarities, and cut similarities between these two films, yet LOTF has a more comprehensive plot, to me. Maybe its loses something in the sub-titles, that I don't find it as intriguing as American Cinema.
One script point in particular in LOTF is the fact that the father was a former military chief, and he left that "madness" for a more peaceful life. Yet the three sons still insist on going to fight against Germany, and even enlist over the border in Canada to do so. This is a little more similar to Yellow Earth. The fact that a daughter wants to join the Communists even though her family was against it. She even sets up a meeting with the song catcher, to fully enlist as a woman into the Communist Party.
When Tristan and Samuel go to war and Samuel is killed. Tristan goes insane, as any man with such passion would. He scalps members of the German Forces and decorates himself with them. He does this as symbol to his role model, and a sign of the union with his brother. A similar scene exists in Red Sorghum, with Luohan when he is flayed. The Japanese impose themselves on the Chinese people, and take their very will from them. The symbol of the people's leader is flayed right in front of them. Yet they make a tremendous journey for all the characters in the rest of the movie.
Both films tend to accentuate the sexuality and primitiveness of the romantic leads. In Red Sorghum the brazen shoulders, and sweatiness of Grandpa catch Nine's eye. She likes him, and a very basic level. When Susannah first sees Tristan, he has water poured all over him. Like a calendar with a waterfall set, it sets a basic primitive feeling between the two. When Grandpa first see's Nine she is about to be raped. Yet he saves her, creating a sexual tension between the two. Will he rape her as well, or help her? After Susannah is playing tennis. Samuel came over and asks Tristan how to "fuck?" This is right after Samuel says he and Susannah are going to have sex before marriage. So Samuel walks away and Tristan has a long look at her again, seeing her in a sexual way now as well. This is like the scene in Red Sorghum where Nine and Grandpa exchange long looks before the "thief" kidnaps her.
Girl from Hunan also has similarities with LOTF. The medial worker in Yu Zhang impregnated the "off limits" girl. The one that was married to an infant boy. So he ran away from his family, and his son. Tristan in LOTF ran away from Susannah. He took her virginity from her, when she was engaged and in mourning for his dead brother. He also ran from his fears of self, and fears of her, he did not however run from a son.
One of the most surprising correlations with the movies is the death scene of the wife character. In Red Sorghum she is bringing the men wine and food. In LOTF Tristan is smuggling liquor with his wife and infant son. Then a rival bootlegger fires off a shot and accidentally kills Tristan's wife. In Red Sorghum, the Japanese soldiers shoot Nine. Left standing is Grandpa and Father, both remembered by the narrator. Left standing in LOTF is Tristan and his infant son, and the Narrator is present, just so he can tell us this story years later.

Q: Can I store enum as ordinal instead of string in JaVers? I use JaVers 6.10.0 in Spring Boot to store versions of this class:
class AUserBusinessData {

  @Id
  @PropertyName("i")
  private Long id;

  @PropertyName("s")
  JHAEUserStatus status;

}

public enum JHAEUserStatus {
    ACTIVE,
    INACTIVE,
}

JaVers stores this in the STATE column of the JV_SNAPSHOT table as follows:
{
  "i": 1202,
  "s": "ACTIVE",
}

Is there a way for me to store the enum as an ordinal (i.e, 0 or 1 in this case) instead of a string (e.g. "ACTIVE", as seen above)?

A: There is no such option out-of-the-box. You can try to write custom JSON Type Adapter, one per each enum type.

The Prowers County Lodging Tax Panel voted to approve funding to secure the rights to host the Colorado State High School Rodeo Association Finals for 2016 and 2017. Panel members also approved $240 for shared funding of the Lamar Chamber of Commerce website and tabled a request for funds for the annual Sand and Sage Round Up concert in August.
County Administrator, Jo Dorenkamp, explained on Tuesday, December 15th, a community must submit a bid to the Rodeo Association to be considered as a potential host. The fees involved with putting on the rodeos for two years are $16,000 each year. Lamar last hosted the event in 2012-2013 before they went to Craig, CO. The bid due dates are January 8th of next year. If Lamar is selected, the rodeos will be held at the Prowers County Fairgrounds May 26-30 next year and the Memorial Day Weekend in 2017. A letter to the county from Sherri Schlegel, CSHS secretary, stated over 150 students and their parents could be anticipated for each of the two years which would impact motels, restaurants, grocery stores, feed stores and gas station outlets.
Brandon Sherwood and Cindy Bennett from the Sand and Sage Fairboard requested $12,000 from the panel to book a musical act during the annual county fair next August. Sherwood said last year, with the financial impact of the beer tent, the board was able to break even on their costs. The funds will cover contract fees at approximately $9,000 for the music show and $3,000 for marketing. The concert is set for August 6, 2016. The panel, which has helped fund the annual event, tabled the request pending additional funding expected through the coming year.
Year to date, the Panel has funded approximately $83,700 in requests and received motel use tax funds from the state at $24,500 for November and $7,400 for December with $14,000 held as contingency funds. While the Panel has requested at least a 90 day window between requests and the event to the funded, an increase in requests months before an event have been noted. This has prompted the Panel to delay action on some funding until its account has enough of a balance to entertain future projects from around the county.
The Prowers County Commissioners are currently advertising to fill three positions on the Panel and are accepting letter of interest to the nine member organization. The Panel is charged to administer funds derived from a 2% motel use tax. The monies are used for advertising and marketing which will bring people to the area from outside the county. State statutes stipulate that Panel members must have some form of professional affiliation with the tourism industry, serve for a three year term and attend the monthly meeting held on the third Tuesday of each month. Letters may be addressed to the Prowers County Commissioners at 301 South Main Street, Suite 215 in Lamar, CO 81052 by January 5th, 2016.

Q: Ignoring nested property on AutoMapper My ViewModel has a sequence of related entities like that:
Store.Package.Item
I am trying to ignore the last Item element on my path, when mapping from the viewmodel to the entity. That's my mapping:
  CreateMap<Store, StoreViewModel>().ReverseMap().ForPath(s => s.Package.Item, opt => opt.Ignore());

The problem is that the entire Package element is being ignored, but I need to ignore just the Item property.
Could anyone help me on this?
Regards

A: You can add another mapping from the Package type into itself and ignore the item property
CreateMap<Store, StoreViewModel>().ReverseMap();
CreateMap<*PackageClass*, *PackageClass*>().ReverseMap()
.ForMember(s => s.Item, opt => opt.Ignore());

PackageClass is the type of the Store.Package property

A: You could do something like this:¨
Mapper.Initialize(c=>
    {
        c.CreateMap<Store, StoreViewModel>().ReverseMap();//.ForPath(s => s.Package.Item, opt => opt.Ignore()));
        c.CreateMap<Package, PackageViewModel>().ReverseMap().ForPath(s=> s.Item,opt=> opt.Ignore());
    });

Today was a crazy day of fishing in Quepos! Mike Neilson and his group crushed it with Captain Jesus on the 38' Luhrs — they raised 14, and landed 9 Sailfish! A great day fishing.
The Yorkmans had their second day out on the Quepos fishing grounds, rounding out their trip with 5 more Sailfish. Nice job guys!
Ed Yorkman and his wife got 2 Sailfish and a nice Big Eye Tuna on the 28' Bertram. What a Tuna! There have been a lot of our boats catching Tuna lately here in Quepos.
Still a lot of Tuna out there, and everyone seems happy. The 38' had another great day — 4 Sailfish and 8 Yellowfin Tuna, plus a huge Grouper. That'll make some fine dining!
Quepos fishing was pretty good today, and the 38' Luhrs landed not only 4 Sailfish, but also a whole lotta Tuna.
Our guests, Jerry Isles and his party, had three Sails today and then got into Tuna! A whole bunch of footballs… And then, they landed a monster Tuna weighing over 100 lbs. Tuna steaks, anyone?
The 33' Dawson owner took her out for some offshore fun and had heck of a good outing. 4 nice Sailfish today, 15 to 20 Tuna (!!), and one Mega-Tuna that got away after an hour and a half fighting the giant. Maybe next time!
Our guests on the 31' Custom had a great day. They saw that the birds were working 20 miles offshore, so something was definitely up in our Quepos fishing waters — a huge school of Tuna! We boated over 20 Yellowfin Tuna, and most were in the 20-40 pound range! Over 300 pounds of Tuna, dressed… That means lots of Tuna steaks tonight, and plenty of sashimi, too!
Here we caught 3 Sails and four Dorado, all over 40 pounds! They're going to be eating fresh fish for days.
Morick Manhas' group got a late start to the fishing grounds, but still released 4 Sailfish. Great afternoon of fishing in Quepos.
Today the Quepos fishing gods smiled down on Wayne Hall and company, aboard the 38' Luhrs. They caught 2 Sailfish, and hooked into a nice Blue Marlin that had to weigh 450 pounds.
Today we had one boat out, the 31' Custom, with guests Marcus Robinson and Samuel Vandervalk aboard. Our friends managed to catch and release 5 Sailfish, who get to live to fight another day!
Mike Fortune and his family had a fun day out on the 33'. They caught a couple of Sailfish and had a Marlin on the line for quite a while, but lost it, and then got into a few Yellowfin Tuna. Yum!
The group on the 33' had a nice day with 5 sailfish. No pics, though, as the camera went overboard or something. If there's no pics, did it really happen? That's the great thing about fishing – all the tall tales!
Got Tuna? The 33' gets into them, landing a Sailfish and 4 big Yellowfin Tuna!
Happy New Year from Quepos Fishing to all our guests, past and future!
Hal Croswell and his family land five Sailfish on the 38' the 5-pack all caught a Sailfish. Great day and a great way to start the year!
Have you ever had real, fresh Tuna? Once you do, you'll never eat the stuff in a can again. Come find out what all the fuss is about, and reserve a Quepos Fishing charter today!


It's not even noon on a beautiful, sunny fall day. The temp is warm enough that I have windows open to get some fresh air circulating inside. Yes, I'm wearing a hoodie, but 1. that's nothing new, and 2. it's just chilly enough to warrant it.
Point here is I wanted fresh air in the apartment and got what I wanted till a couple minutes ago. Why, oh why, am I now smelling garlic, garlic, garlic?! Anyone who knows me knows I am like the princess and the pea. The smallest annoyance can set me off on a tear. Being as aware as I am of my persnickety, I will allow this teensy rip in my morning joy and drop it. Why expend all of my energy on this small setback on such a gorgeous day?
I'm not sure why, but I find dinner smells before noon incredibly unpleasant. Not necessarily always before noon, but definitely early in the morning. And extraspecially when I've just woken up. Coffee smells are always welcome, always, but garlic, curry, spicy meal odors when I first wake up are just nasty.
Am I alone? I'm trying to figure out what it is in particular that bothers me about this and I am not coming up with anything concrete. No childhood traumas involving food smells (nothing specific, that is), no food borne illnesses ever, it's perplexing to me. Curiouser and curiouser. I am a constant puzzle to myself.

Montgomery's Inn has been a significant landmark in Etobicoke since Thomas Montgomery built it about 1830. It is often confused with Montgomery's Tavern located many miles away on Yonge Street, which served as the headquarters for William Lyon Mackenzie, leader of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837. Nevertheless, there is a rebellion connection. Thomas Montgomery joined the militia during the rebellion period. Just days after the rebels were dispersed from John Montgomery's tavern on Yonge, Thomas Montgomery advanced 12 pounds, 17 shillings and six pence: "To the amount delivered to the different vollinteers going to defend there counterey and returning home againe..."
There are several notations in his account book regarding meals provided for soldiers and prisoners during the crisis. In the end he received payment from the commissariat department for meals provided in the amount of 28 pounds, 19 shillings and six pence.
Montgomery's Inn was an important stop for travellers on the Dundas highway. After an extensive expansion in 1838, which added a tavern, kitchen and ballroom, it became a social centre for the community, and the site of meetings of the local township government and the Grand Orange Lodge in the 1830s and 1840s. Shortly after his wife Margaret's death in 1855, Thomas closed the inn, taking in tenants to fill the rooms instead.
After Thomas died in 1877, the farm was rented out, and eventually subdivided to make way for much of present-day Islington Village. The inn had several owners before being sold to the Etobicoke Historical Board. Restoration of the inn began in 1967 as a centennial project, taking the inn back to the period 1847-50. Montgomery's Inn is now a Toronto museum.

Despite unprecedented declines in mortality during the 20th century, black-white mortality disparities continue to be substantial in the United States. In this paper, we analyze the contribution of "avoidable mortality," causes of death that should not occur in the presence of high-quality and timely medical treatment and causes that are influenced by behavior (e.g., smoking) and in part by public policy, to black-white differences in life expectancy. We also examine the contribution of causes classified as "non-avoidable" and their contribution to trends in white and black life expectancy between 1980 and 2005. These "non-avoidable" causes have made a substantial contribution to mortality declines in the U.S. and to reducing the black-white mortality gap. A disaggregation of the "non-avoidable" cause-of-death group will shed further light on factors that have played a role in US mortality trends in the latter half of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century.

Utah Governor Signs Measure That Requires Pornography Filter on Phones
Children's Issues Politics Role Model Conservatives Technology
by brettafarley March 25, 2021 March 25, 2021 0422
Utah's governor on Tuesday signed into law a measure that requires smartphones and tablets sold in the state to include a filter blocking pornography.
Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, signed H.B. 72 after carefully considering whether to sign or veto it.
Cox told reporters during a recent press conference that the proliferation of phones has made it difficult for parents to police what their children are watching.
"I do think that pornography is a problem with it, especially with younger and younger people and what it does to their brains when they don't have a real ability to understand and to make those choices. So really, we want to empower parents," he said, adding, "If nothing else, it sends an important message, I think, to people that we need to do better there and then we'll see what other states do."
Legislators amended the bill to put off its activation until five other states approve similar laws. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Utah said the constitutionality of the bill was not adequately considered and that it will likely be argued in court. Read more…
