Robert Lawrence (BJ) Rossi Jr. Obituary
Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home
211 West Ave B, Copperas Cove, TX
Robert Lawrence (BJ) Rossi Jr.
June 4, 1980 – June 25, 2019
Robert Lawrence Rossi, Jr., 39, of Copperas Cove, Texas, passed away of an unspecified illness on June 25, 2019. Robert, also is lovingly known as B.J., was born on June 4, 1980, at Ft. Hood, Texas, and graduated from Copperas Cove High in 1997. Robert first accepted Jesus Christ at the age of nine upon hearing missionaries studying Matthew 7, verses 13 and 14. During alter call, Robert ran down the aisle to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. Eight years ago, while in the hospital at Scott and White, Robert renewed his vow with the Lord. Robert currently worked for the HOP. He was the Hill Country Transit District Lead Scheduler and its Employee of the Year in 2019. His first job was for the YMCA, and after years with them he ventured into Troy, Texas, where he worked for Anderton Castings until joining the HOP. Robert loved his career. Instead of working with a team, he worked with a family of co-workers. He would often show his love for them by cooking some of his favorite dishes, such as chicken spaghetti, collard greens and various soups. Robert dedicated himself to family, friends, and his educational passions. He not only earned his Bachelor's Degree in Science of Business in 2015, but also his Master's Degree in Management in 2017 - both from University of Phoenix. Robert Lawrence Rossi Jr., was preceded in death by his grandparents -- Mr. and Mrs. Bennie L. and Lavata L. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Donald and Patricia Rossi -- and two first cousins: TaWanda L. Simon and Eric L. West. Robert is survived by his mother, Linda Kay Rossi of Killeen, Texas, and his father, Robert Lawrence Rossi, of Palm Bay, Florida, and his aunts JoCasta L. West, Vanda G. Abercrombie, Vanita D. Lee all of Copperas Cove, Texas, Debra A. Clay of White Plains, New York, and Nylvia C. Harrison of Gatesville. He is also survived by his uncles Bobby Clay of White Plains, New York, Kenny Rossi of Long Island, New York, and Ricky Cruz of Albany, New York. In addition, BJ is survived by many close first cousins, second cousins, great uncles, aunts, loved ones and a very large extended family. Robert was truly loved by all who knew him. He made you smile just by being around him. He will be truly missed.

We grew up together. He was a great friend to me and will be missed.
I was a co-worker of Robert. We each leave a legacy of our lives, whether it's good or bad. Of course, I'm very shocked and saddened at this terrible event.
Robert left a nice legacy. I will always remember him as being a very nice and kind person, who was a gentle giant. He would often bring food to potluck dinners at work, or just be kind and bring donuts and other treats for us. Robert was also an excellent cook, and he made very professional desserts. Also, I'm glad I was able to make him laugh.
I will ALWAYS remember Robert in a positive way because he was such a nice and kind person. I will always be saddened that he left us far too early, but was honored to have known him.
God rest his dear soul in heaven. May God give his family and other loved ones comfort through this terrible time. AMEN.
Robert Lawrence (BJ) Rossi Jr. was known as many things to many people. He was a loved one, a friend, and someone special. To family and friends who knew him best, Robert will be remembered as a very exceptional person.
Simply stated, Robert was a good and kind person, an individual who will for all time be remembered by his family and friends as being a caring and giving person, someone who was a vital part of their lives. Robert leaves behind him a legacy of life-long friendships and many cherished memories. Everyone whose life he touched will always remember Robert Lawrence (BJ) Rossi Jr.

Maduro invites Huawei to set up 4G network in Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is inviting China's Huawei to help set up a 4G network in Venezuela, prompting opposition leader Juan Guaidó to accuse him of having an "absolute disconnection with reality."
Guaidó said Friday that telecommunications problems were due to the "poor use of state resources and funds."
Maduro said a day prior that he wants to make a joint investment with Huawei and other Chinese and Russian companies to improve infrastructure.
But he didn't offer details about how such a project would work in a country gripped by hyperinflation and shortages of basic goods.
The United States calls Huawei a threat to national security and has put the company on a blacklist that effectively bars U.S. firms from selling it computer chips and other components without government approval.

L'Orto botanico di Trieste, conosciuto anche come Civico Orto Botanico, fondato nel 1842, è un'istituzione facente parte della rete museale e, in particolare, dei civici musei scientifici di Trieste.
Ha sede in via Marchesetti, nella parte occidentale del colle del Chiadino, e si estende su un'area di 10.000 m², ad una quota che va dai 75 ai 95 m s.l.m.

All'Orto è associata anche la gestione dell'attigua Riserva naturale di Bosco Biasoletto e Bosco Farneto.

Storia
Viene fondato come giardino botanico, nel 1842, dal municipio di Trieste, nell'area attuale. Ma traeva la sua origine, ideale e materiale, su di un primo orto voluto, nel 1828, da Bartolomeo Biasoletto, un farmacista chimico e appassionato di botanica, che aveva avuto l'incarico di compiere esperimenti finalizzati, in particolare, a verificare l'eventuale attecchimento del pino nero austriaco sul Carso.

L'ampliamento dell'area, unitamente all'innesto di una grande messe di specie floreali tipiche della Venezia Giulia, e delle regioni contermini, si verifica a partire dal 1861, grazie all'opera di Muzio Tommasini. Oltre ad aver avuto incarichi politico-amministrativi di primo piano nella Trieste di metà Ottocento, Tommasini è anche un autorevole studioso di botanica, tanto da riuscire a dare un'impronta scientifica al giardino, svolgendovi importanti ricerche e circondandosi di una cerchia di appassionati, fra i quali Elisa Braig, Raimondo Tominz e Carlo Marchesetti. Nel 1903, già direttore del Civico Museo di Storia naturale, Marchesetti trasforma il giardino in vera e propria istituzione, con la denominazione di Civico Orto Botanico, conferendogli la fisionomia attuale e arricchendolo di nuove specie.

Tra gli anni Venti e gli anni Sessanta si susseguono alla sua direzione figure di spicco del panorama scientifico e naturalistico italiano, fra i quali Mario Stenta, Giuseppe Müller, Carlo Lona e Edoardo Gridelli. Il periodo "nero" dell'istituzione, però, si verifica solo in tempi più recenti:  nel 1986, infatti, l'orto botanico viene chiuso, a causa dell'insufficienza di fondi. Dal 1991 iniziano dei lavori di ristrutturazione, che subiranno un'accelerazione nel corso del 1997. Parte dell'Orto riaprirà al pubblico soltanto nel 2001.

Flora e fauna
Nell'Orto botanico di Trieste vengono coltivate circa 1.200 tipi di piante.

Lo scopo principale della sua istituzione, quello cioè di raccogliere e catalogare le specie peculiari della flora della Venezia Giulia e contermini, è ancora perseguito. Si è aggiunta, nel corso del tempo, anche una sezione dedicata alle piante medicinali. È inoltre praticata, all'interno di apposite vasche e di serre, la coltivazione di piante acquatiche e palustri.

In linea e in continuità con gli originali indirizzi definiti, tra il XIX e XX secolo, da Tommasini prima e da Marchesetti poi, l'Orto botanico si occupa di fornire materiali (semi) ad enti ed istituti analoghi, sia italiani che stranieri. In tal senso il Civico Orto Botanico pubblica, annualmente, un Index Seminum, dove vengono costantemente elencate, con tutti i dati di raccolta, le diverse specie di cui sono offerti i semi. Tale pubblicazione uscì per la prima volta nel 1877, ad opera di Tommasini e Tominz, con il titolo di «Delectus Seminum quae Hortus Botanicus Tergestini pro mutua communicatione offert». La pubblicazione dell'Index era stata sospesa con la chiusura temporanea dell'orto: la ripresa, nel 1996, è coincisa con il CL anniversario del Museo di storia naturale.

Per le sue peculiarità l'istituzione offre anche un habitat ideale per diverse specie faunistiche. Infatti le guardie ambientali volontarie della sezione triestina del WWF hanno avviato al suo interno il «Progetto Nidi», collocandovi nidi per l'idoneo riparo di uccelli, pipistrelli, ricci e orbettini.

Медичний одяг — різновид спецодягу, професійне вбрання для медиків: лікарів, медичних сестер, фельдшерів, акушерок, викладачів та студентів медичних навчальних закладів. Традиційним одягом є білий халат, але з часом з'являється все більше альтернатив.

Призначення медичного одягу

 Захист пацієнта від інфекцій та бактерій, які лікар може принести на повсякденному одязі зі зовнішнього світу.
 Захист лікаря від потрапляння препаратів та біологічних рідин на шкіру.

Додатково:
 Уникнення психо-емоційного збудження пацієнта (одяг чистий і білий)

Види медичного одягу

Медичний халат
Розповсюджена форма одягу для медичних працівників. Між собою халати відрізняються кольором, матеріалом та фасоном. Окремо виділяють жіночі та чоловічі.

Більшість медичних навчальних закладів та лікарень мають вимоги, яким має відповідати халат. Це халат білого кольору з довгим рукавом, довжиною до середини стегна.

Хірургічний костюм
Надягають переважно під час проведення операції. Костюм складається з просторої блузи (вдягається через голову) та штанів (на резинці чи регульованих завязках) вільного крою. Блуза завжди без застібки та з коротким рукавом (третинний) через те, що ґудзики та манжети рукавів є місцями найбільшого скупчення мікробів, а під час обробки рук антисептиком є відповідні вимоги.

Разом з хірургічними костюмами часто носять медичні шапочки — одноразові або багаторазового використання.
Основна вимога до шапочки, повністю закривати волосяні частину голови.

Медичний костюм
Костюм складається з штанів та куртки з застібкою. Куртка на вигляд схожа на вкорочений халат. Штани можуть бути різних моделей — широкі або завужені, на резинці або на ґудзику з блискавкою.
Також до м.костюму носять медичну шапочку, однак не має суворої вимоги, як у хірургічному костюмі, закривати усю волосяну частину голови.

Тканини, що використовуються для пошиття
Для пошиття медичного одягу використовують спеціальні зносостійкі тканини з високими гігієнічними властивостями.

Натуральні тканини
Тканини, що на 100 % складаються з бавовни або льону. Одяг з натуральних тканин гігроскопічний, гіпоалергенний, не електризується. Такий одяг швидко мнеться й важко прасується. При пранні за високих температур бавовняні вироби можуть дати усадку.

Сумішеві тканини
Містять у складі у різних пропорціях бавовну та поліестер. Більш практичні та прості у догляді, ніж натуральні тканини. Поліестер у складі робить виріб більш зносостійким, а бавовна дозволяє тілу дихати.

Більшість медичного одягу виготовляють з тканини, що на 65 % складається з поліестеру і на 35 % — з бавовни. Вона не дає усадку, швидко сохне, практично не зминається.

Синтетичні матеріали
Тканина на 100 % складається з поліестера. Такий одяг коштує дешевше, ніж вироби з натуральної або сумішевої тканини. Швидко сохне, практично не зминається. Проте, недоліком є те, що такі вироби можуть електризуватись (накопичення статичного заряду).

Мода
Початково, зміна дизайну та забарвлення м.о. була зумовлена необхідністю побороти у маленьких пацієнтів (дітей) "страх білого халату".

Окрім того, так як не має єдиного стандарту вимог до медичного одягу, а їх визначає локально медичний заклад (зокрема в Україні), появилась мода.

Поступово медичний одяг зі спецодягу перетворюється на окремий предмет гардеробу, над яким працюють дизайнери. На ринку з'являються нові, сучасні фасони одягу, вироби оздоблюють декоративними елементами.

Популярною послугою є брендування медичного одягу — на халаті або костюмі робиться вишивка з прізвищем лікаря, назвою препарату або клініки, навчального закладу. Деякі медики прикрашають власний одяг вишитим малюнком, що символізує їхню спеціалізацію. Наприклад, у акушерів це може бути лелека, у стоматологів — зуб тощо.

The Llanelli Herald
Karate Kid looking for Mrs Right
Jon Coles
Julius: Performing karate in the middle of Llanelli
PEOPLE of a certain age will remember Mr Miyagi and Daniel, the boy he trained to become the Karate Kid. The old 'Wax On Wax Off' catchphrase did the rounds for many years. Old Mr Miyagi used to make the boy endure standing on one leg on a post, wash cars and paint fences before imparting his knowledge of martial arts upon the boy in order that he may deal with bullies. The sort of training one is unlikely to receive using a pressure washer on the old Corsa.
The Herald had to do no such thing on Tuesday (Oct 11) in order to pick up some very useful karate tips to deal with our arch enemies. A rather younger version of Mr Miyagi caught our eye as we strolled the mean streets of Llanelli in search of news. We came across Julius, a karate teacher, who was going through his motions dressed in blinding white and wowing those who took a few minutes to watch him perform in Spring Gardens. After he had stopped for a slight break, we made a few moves of our own and cornered him.
We asked Julius just what on earth he was doing performing karate moves in broad daylight in the centre of the town.
He said: "What it is is that when I moved to Llanelli, I wanted to open up a karate club. I advertised and a load of people said they would come along but they didn't. I am still looking for somewhere to set up. I offer mixed martial arts and I want to help kids get out and do something.
"I had a business plan and a long list but there has been so much apathy. It is easier to sit down than to get up and get out to train. Anybody can change their lives. I keep myself fit and people are welcome to join me. My telephone number is 07453 618712."
Julius said that he could offer classes to all abilities if he could find a venue. He said: "I can customise classes and I find it is better to assess people's abilities first."
As to how and why Julius moved to Llanelli, he told us: "I have been in Llanelli for 15 years. I came here for a woman and it didn't work out. I found another woman and that didn't work out. I am still looking for the right lady with the right outlook on life."

Conservatives in disarray over alleged Christmas party lockdown breach
Jason Cooper
THE CONSERVATIVE Party is investigating the attendance of senior Senedd members and staff at a Christmas party held during December's lockdown.
Lockdown restrictions prohibit mixing with people outside your own household.
The Welsh restrictions barring such gatherings follow the basic outline of those imposed by the Conservative UK Government in December.
Those attending the drinks party included Paul Smith, the Conservative Chief of Staff at the Senedd, Darren Millar, the Party's Chief Whip and campaign coordinator, and Preseli Pembrokeshire MS and Conservative Senedd Group Leader Paul Davies.
The Herald understands that a Labour Senedd Member who attended the Party has been suspended by the Labour Senedd Group pending its own investigation.
The Conservatives' embarrassment at talking the talk but not walking the walk is intensified by Darren Millar's presence at the shindig.
In May, Mr Millar led calls for Wales' Health Minister Vaughan Gething to be sacked for eating a bag of chips in a park with one of his own children.
If the Conservative Party follows the logic of their previously stated positions, Mr Millar's and Mr Davies' futures look bleak indeed.
With a Senedd election only months away, the revelations have thrown the Conservatives into disarray.
If they do nothing, the Conservatives will – at the very least – face claims they are hypocrites.
If the Conservative Party acts decisively, it faces massive internal problems.
The Conservatives responded to our request for a response to our story.
Those involved stressed they did not host a Christmas Party.
The incident happened on December 8, when the above met in the members' tea room to discuss legislation for possible inclusion in the Welsh Conservative manifesto with a Labour backbencher.
During the evening they did drink a glass or two of wine.
They stress that at no point were there more than four people in the room at any one time and that they maintained social distancing.
A joint statement from Paul Davies, Darren Millar, and Paul Smith said: "We are profoundly sorry for our actions.
"While we did not break the rules, we recognise that what was part of a day's work would not be seen to be following the spirit of them, especially given the tough time the country has been going through."
Family tribute to Carole Patricia Fowler
Carole was a teacher for 30 years at St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Llanelli. She loved children and they loved her.
As one of her past colleagues said: "I know she made such a difference to every child she taught." She was very popular with staff and well respected and loved by parents. She was dedicated and conscientious, always 100% for the children. She led the music there and was always popular with her guitar accompaniments for services and concerts.
Likewise, she was a valued member of the choir at Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, Gendros, Swansea, where she would often accompany hymns with her guitar and gave guitar lessons to the children in the church's Saturday Music Club. She was also a keen member of Côr Persain, Ammanford.
She was talented, loved and in demand. A convicted and devout Catholic all her life, through good and bad.
Carole was an avid and very gifted crocheter and was always crocheting or knitting something for someone. She had been spending her time recently, during the Covid crisis, crocheting NHS teddies in scrubs and rainbows, with many given to practising nurses. Carole had recently started learning to make bobbin lace. She was also capable of some very decent sewing, too.
She was also learning Welsh, doing 'pilates' and was considering taking up yoga lessons as well.
She was a busy lady! As one of her work colleagues said of her: "She was wise, strong, beautiful, generous, devout and feisty. And I loved her for all those qualities."
Above all, she was an immeasurably loved Mam, daughter, sister and a doting Mamgu and so much loved by her fiancé. Having been together for 14 years, they would have been married last July 20th had covid allowed!
Her premature passing at 61 is tragic and she is already sorely, painfully missed. She leaves behind a huge chasm in so many hearts that cannot be filled.
"Eternal rest grant unto her, o Lord, may perpetual light shine about her, may she rest in peace."

I've recently returned to the classroom as an instructor within the Design Studies program at Grant MacEwan University. The course is a prerequisite and instructs students on standard technical practices and tools of the trade. We are currently in the eighth week of classes and it's been an interesting experience to date!
While grading my first student assignments, I began to reflect on what it was like to be a first-year student—eager to learn and naïve as a newborn. Observing the excitement, anxiety, and uncertainty that each new project brings, I muse as the students approach each project with an innocence that demands exploration. They explore solutions without the limitations of time, budget or client preference. There exists an internal motivation to produce a piece they believe in, can be proud to showcase and is entirely—theirs.
Being a professional designer, it's all too easy to fall prey to the parameters imposed by others; to succumb to complacency and sacrifice one's own creative integrity in the name of the client. Experience teaches us to be informed and efficient; to produce faster without taking the time to think. In this complacent state, we sometimes lose the excitement and motivation to excel. Our role becomes akin to an 'order-taker', rather than a 'solution-provider'.
Finding inspiration is difficult. Currently, there is a myriad of online articles and blog posts on how to stay inspired—where to look, what to do, what not to do… While these sources are insightful, I've found more inspiration by observing my students. They remind me that with every new project, there is more to gain by summoning the feelings we all too often neglect—excitement, innocence and discovery.

Marist High School in Bayonne to Close Despite Extraordinary Efforts
Result of challenges and trends in Catholic Education
After 65 years of providing academic excellence to Bayonne, Jersey City and the Archdiocese of Newark, Marist High School, Bayonne's only Catholic high school regrettably will be closing its doors at the completion of the academic year in June 2020. All classes, athletic team schedules, guidance and extracurricular activities will continue through June.
Br. Patrick McNamara, Provincial, and the Provincial Council of the Marist USA Province, made the decision to close after much deliberation and support for Marist. Br. Patrick continued, "Marist is a wonderful high school and educational family. We Marist Brothers have cherished the many years of excellent education given by dedicated Brothers and Lay Marists, and we are grateful to all the extraordinary efforts by the Marist School Board and Alumni to support Marist. But we, the Marist Brothers or Marist High School, simply do not have the funds to continue school operations after this academic year.
Since 2008, enrollment at Marist has declined by more than half. Fewer students and the resulting loss in revenue through the years has created an operational deficit that depleted the school's reserve despite aggressive fundraising efforts. In 2017, the Marist Brothers, and the school administration announced a "Save The School" campaign to raise $1.5 million necessary to continue operations but were successful in bringing in only $750,000. Since that time, those funds have been utilized to maintain continuity and to build a strategic plan which included the September 2018 hiring of President Peter G. Kane to explore available options to avoid the School's closing.
This most recent development caps a decade-long, nationwide decline in Catholic education. According to the National Catholic Educational Association, almost 1,000 elementary and secondary schools have closed since 2009. In New Jersey alone, there have been over 100 closings in the past two decades. Notable recent closings include St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, Queen of Peace High School in North Arlington and in June 2019, St. Mary of the Assumption High School in Elizabeth. All of them resulting from similar enrollment and revenue challenges faced by Marist.
According to Kane, "Marist High School is proud of its service to the community through six decades, maintaining the highest standards of Catholic education. This has been a painful and difficult decision for everyone involved. I am heartened by knowing the positive impact Marist has made in the lives of our current students, their families and alumni who have been so supportive of our efforts through this challenging process."
Marist's current enrollment of 235 students represents a dramatic decline from over 300 students as recently as 2015. "Despite our best efforts, we cannot continue to bridge the annual operational gap of over $1 million. The steady decline in enrollment, along with increasing expenses and the ongoing financial assistance we provide to our families has made this closure unavoidable." stated Kane.
Since first opening its doors in 1954, Marist High School has been guided and directed by the principles of the Founder, St. Marcellin Champagnat, Marist Brothers, and by dedicated and generous Lay Marists. Marist High School has been a catalyst for advancement, awarding over 8,000 diplomas to the sons and daughters of Hudson County residents, many of whom were first generation Americans.
School administration, faculty, coaches and guidance counselors will continue their commitment to the community of enrolled students and parents and focus their efforts on assisting families to make the necessary arrangements for transfers to regional high schools.

Bear Lake girls basketball takes down Walkerville

BEAR LAKE – Bear Lake girls basketball defeated Walkerville, 35-31, in overtime on Friday night, earning its first victory of the new campaign.
Lakers head coach Hannah Harrington called it a group effort but added the team had a bit of a slow start before finding their footing.
"At first, we were a little chaotic," she said. "I think that's something we are going to start focusing on this season is controlling the tempo of the game … but they locked in eventually and started to make good shots.
"The passing got better – it started off a little iffy, so once they locked in on the little things, it flowed a lot better."
Bear Lake girls hoops prepared to take next step
Harrington praised Bear Lake's willingness to be unselfish and never put too much emphasis on one player. In turn, the Lakers spread it out offensively.
Conzuelo Magana Garcia finished with nine points, eight rebounds, four steals and one assist, while Alex Rineer had nine points, 10 boards, three steals and two assists.
Senior guard Taylor Merrill ended the night scoring seven points and grabbing 11 boards, whereas Victoria Hall tacked on six points and 12 rebounds. Moreover, Dafne Yanez Chavez accumulated two points, 10 boards and five steals.
"That's what I love about these girls," Harrington stated. "None of them are selfish players; if they see a teammate that has a better shot than them, they are going to give the ball up.
"And they are definitely honed in on the team aspect of things … if we want to win games, we have to share the ball … I love that they do that."
Moving forward, the Lakers prepare for a four game road trip, beginning with Pentwater on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 7:30 p.m.
However, before tipoff, Harrington wants to see improvement over the coming days.
"We have to work on our passes for sure, and we need to slow things down on offense," she said. "We need to know when to go and when to put on the breaks a little bit … those are going to be the key things for them because I think we can keep up with Pentwater as long as the girls show up and they believe in themselves."

Amazing Thanksgiving dinner....!!! Nothing like local southern cooks in the kitchen. There was a choice of either a served platter or an all you can eat buffet. I had a platter and took half of it home. Some at my table took the buffet. Everyone was happy about their choice. The platter had slices of turkey, cranberries, yams, mashed potatoes, gravy, oyster dressing, corn and green beans. Yum.
After it was all over, I realized that the conversation was about family and friends.....and no politics...!!! The only down side of going out is that there are no left overs for turkey gumbo. Hard to believe that Christmas is in a month.
Klaas...I have never had turkey on a BBQ. I bet it is delicious. Your dinner sounds wonderful.
texasmom.....my daughter has taken over Christmas. I bet your son and DIL were wonderful hosts/chefs.
Ours turned out well too, Mere! I missed having some leftovers later too though!
It was definitely different enjoying the meal without being exhausted from preparing it, I think I could like this!
My heart is broken today watching our beautiful Great Smokey Mountains burn. I grew up in those mountains starting with my parents taking us when we were just little. Me and hubby have hiked most all trails in those mountains and we introduced our son when he came into ths world. Gatlinburg is a national treasure and it is burning down. I pray that heavy rain socks those mountains before the fire consumes it. We were there less than 2 weeks ago. The arts and crafts community, parts of that area have burned. So much history in those mountains. GOD have mercy on the soul who set those fires-they say it was arson.
I was just seeing this in the news, it's so sad! Thanks for the links.

It is a fact that an Indian skeleton was inadvertently dug up on the grounds, but was subsequently reburied with a traditional Indian burial ceremony. Despite these efforts however, this spirit does not seem to be at rest according to reports.
We were met by American Ghost Society representative Kelly Davis who gave us a tour of the house while discussing the history and paranormal activity that has taken place. Kelly knows the house well, being a major player in saving it from the wrecking ball. She is now deeply involved in the renovation of this historic homestead.
CAPS was fortunate to be the first group to investigate the newly opened Gentlemen's Parlor on the first floor. It was reported that a travelling salesman passed away in this room. While I was sitting in the room, I heard what sounded like footsteps walking across the floor. The rest of our group was upstairs and they all stated they were not moving around at that time.
While on the second floor, where the bedrooms are located, I also felt like cobwebs were touching me. This was captured on one of our video cameras, where you see me looking around trying to figure out the source. I also felt like I was touched in the basement where they say a cranky male spirit resides. Just prior to this I thought I heard a soft EVP while listening with headphones. All these occurrences were so subtle that it is hard for me to say for certain it was paranormal.
While out on the grounds, Zach had a quick hit on the K2 meter, as if someone had passed by him quickly. There are reports of this happening previously along the tree line, and at this time there were no power sources to account for this. He was unable to reproduce this phenomenon, and had no additional experiences.
Vicki had her most profound experience while using dowsing rods to talk to a little 5 year old girl named Alma, one of the three daughters that passed away in the house. At one point, Vicki, one of the most sensitive members of CAPS, asked for a hug, and while going through the motions felt cold spots on both sides of her lower back, as if she were being hugged by a child.
Vicki also had some video camera malfunctions in the kitchen area. After having three recently charged batteries instantaneously drain she gave up for the evening! Was it paranormal or just another case of antiquated equipment? Likely the latter!!
A spirit that likes to throw rocks in the kitchen area, (a young boy they call William) was fairly quiet on this night. Interestingly, he was very active the first time Trish and I were there. At least 5 large size rocks were thrown that night, with Trish hearing them whizzing by narrowly missing her head on two occasions. That was not good for her psyche.
This time we captured an EVP while Trish and Vicki were talking to the young spirit in the kitchen that sounds like a young boy saying William?. I have included the EVP below.
All in all it was a good investigation and the evidence, particularly the EVPs, lead us to believe there is some type of activity at the Eldred House, which makes it worth another visit.
This one sounds like "Relax"
Think this one says the name "William"?
Trish and I were alone in the cellar were packing up the equipment we stated we were leaving. I had a camera running with a bright light so if it says "can the lights go too" like I believe it makes sense. There is a dispute amongst CAPS members as to what it says however. You judge!
An individual was conducting a session with dowsing rods and asked if a particular entity was there. I believe she got an answer.


Even though we had a party for Matilda while we were in Montana, you know I could not resist doing a little something special for her on the 21st. The whole day was full of an abundance of love and not much else. It was perfect.
Parker and I picked up a few balloons and made a "maze", as Parker put it, for Matilda to enjoy. Because really, what is a birthday without a balloon or fifteen. We also made her a cake and since she is allergic to egg, we opted for a rice crispy (fruity pebble) version. And, of course, we snuggled and reminisced about the day she was born.
*I am well aware that this line is cheesy. But listen, I can't imagine my life without her and I got as close as a mother can get to knowing what it feels like to live on without a child thriving and growing like Matilda is doing so beautifully. So excuse my cheese, but know that it is done with love.

1. You must realize you are a sinner. Nobody likes to admit it, but each and every one of us has broken God's laws found in the Bible.
Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. James 2:10 – Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
2. You must realize there is punishment for your sin. Just like people earn money (wages) for working, they also earn wages for being sinners! What are those wages?
Revelation 20:14 – And Death and Hell were cast into the Lakeof Fire. This is the second death. The second death is eternal separation from God in the Lakeof Fire. God's holiness demands this punishment of sin! Will this be your punishment?
3. You must realize there is nothing you can do to save yourself. Good works or kind deeds will never get a person to Heaven!
Ephesians 2:8-9 – By grace are ye saved through faith…Not of works. Isaiah 64:6 – We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness (or good deeds) are as filthy rags.
4. You must realize Jesus Christ became the payment for your sin. Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures (the Bible); and…He was buried, and…He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
5. You must choose to repent of your sin and ask God to save you. To repent is to agree with God about your sin and to turn from it – a change of mind, which results in a change of action.
Ezekiel 18:30 – Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions (or sins).
Romans 10:13 – Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Are you willing to repent of your sin and ask God to save you? If so, why not pray to Him right now and ask him to save you. Then read your Bible daily and obey what you read. If we can help in any way, contact us at solidrockakron@yahoo.com.


I've been looking forward to this since I first read about it in the Pink Section of the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday.
The Last Edition, a 1925 silent film / drama that pits newspapermen against corruption will be shown at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival on Sunday, July 21 at 3:30pm at that Castro Theatre. Stephen Horne will be providing the musical accompaniment. This will be a special treat for San Franciscans, because it was filmed at both the old Chronicle building at 690 Market St., near Kearny and Third streets, and at the current location at 901 Mission St., with Chronicle staff members as extras and the real stars being the pressrooms, printing department and reporters' offices of an old-time newspaper.
Of course, I'm amazed that something from 1925 survived. There was a stat mentioned in the story stating that only an estimated 10 to 15 percent of films made during the silent era survive.
Not surprising to me because back in those days, we were making films on highly flammable stock. In fact, the first feature I did with Mary Pickford ("The Foundling") burned up before prints were made for distribution. We were hugely disappointed. On the bright side, I was hired by World Productions in Fort Lee, New Jersey shortly after it happened.
Anyway, "The Last Edition," is one in a series of films created by Emory Johnson in the mid-1920s. He liked to shoot in the San Francisco Bay Area and his films featured blue-collar protagonists such as policemen, railroad engineers, printers, mailmen, and baseball players. My mate Frankie would approve.
I will enjoy watching this film (It has a total running time of 105 minutes) because outside of the story itself, it will showcase areas I knew well back in the day. I was raised in San Francisco and had a front row seat (literally) for the 1906 earthquake and fire. I also spent my share of time as a "cub reporter" for Hearst's paper. I'm sure that seeing chases through the city, newspaper production from press to print, and a "stop the presses" moment that includes a dramatic fire and rescue, will bring back memories.
The guys (Frankie, Doc, Joey and Tommie) were amazed to learn that this film existed and was restored using a 35mm print of the movie's original trailer which is preserved at the Library of Congress (and available online — see below). The restoration workers were able to match the look of the film — including the original typeface of the English titles.
Frankie leaves Sennett and helps Langdon with his film company. His first opportunity to be involved in independent filmmaking.
On 25-Feb, Joey anchored his 2-mile relay team to victory over Yale. Throughout the year, he traveled to AAU meets for NYAC.
Frannie's novel, "The Rise and Fall of Minnie Flynn: The Tragedy of Success" was serialized in Pictorial Review and first published in March. It was the tale of a poor young girl from the New York tenements climbing to stardom through luck and fate without learning enough about herself and the world around her to maintain her good fortune.
In June, Doc published his article, "Vagabonding Through Dixie" which described his walk from Chicago through the South which took place in 1921.
The summer of 1925 was when the famous party- trip to Pamplona by Hemingway & friends (including Fitzgerald) took place. It was immortalized in "The Sun Also Rises" (published in 1926).
In July the Scopes Evolution Trial took place. William Jennings Bryan said "Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to achieve.
In August, Frannie, her husband Fred and Silver King his horse, lead the parade in SF promoting "The Greater Movie Season" — an initiative to promote all movies. The parade route started at the Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street and ended up at the Civic Center. The horse stole the show and was featured on the front pages of the local papers.
In November, "Stella Dallas" was released. Frannie wrote the "scenario" which she adapted from the popular novel — mixing comedy scenes with drama. It ended up being the highest grossing film to date for Samuel Goldwyn.
Whatever you end up doing, love it.
