Below 14th

In the summer of 1984, I sublet an apartment on East 3rd Street between Avenue A and B, about one hundred yards from the building in which I had spent the first 18 years of my life. I'd been away for six years—the first four at a small college in the midwest followed by two years in a roach infested Hell's Kitchen tenement apartment that I'd shared with two roommates.
When I was growing up, many of the buildings in my neighborhood had burned down and in just 10 years the population of the alphabet avenues below 14th Street had been cut in half. But by the time I returned, there were signs of new life. Bars and restaurants had opened on Avenue A. Squatters were setting up quarters in a handful of the hundreds of abandoned buildings where families had lived only a decade earlier. Rubble strewn lots were being replaced by community gardens. Things were still gritty, but the streets buzzed with excitement and the menace had receded.
After getting set up in my apartment, one of the first things I wanted to do was to find my old friend Henry Shelton, who I assumed was still living with his mother. Henry was one of those kids much admired in the playgrounds and schoolyards during our childhood. From the time I was six right through my teenage years, I had thought of him as my best friend, and in this surely I was not alone.
Henry was a neighborhood superhero. Reading Charles Dickens novels at age six, able to dunk a basketball at age 11, having sex with a private school girl named Jane at age 13. He was a black kid who effortlessly moved between the Puerto Ricans, whites, and blacks who warily shared the P.S. 63 playground. More important than any of that, Henry was fun, fearless and good natured. When you went out with him to play basketball or explore Mulberry Street during the Feast of San Gennaro or ride bikes onto the Staten Island Ferry, you were going on an adventure, and Henry, with his great enthusiasm somehow made you feel brave and important. The neighborhood authority figures, including my parents, teachers and police officers from the 9th precinct had a considerably more jaundiced view of Henry, but that only added to his luster as far as I was concerned.
Over the course of the summer of 1984, I heard different stories about Henry's whereabouts. His mother, who lived on the 19th floor in one of the Village View buildings, never seemed to be home when I rang her buzzer and neither did Henry.
It seemed Henry had moved away. My friend David said Henry's sister had told him her brother had gotten a pilot's license and was transporting cargo for an airfreight company in southeast Asia. Caz had a letter from Henry in which he wrote that he was doing maintenance work on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. One-legged Mike told me Henry was in the army and stationed in Germany. According to Yossi, a local gambler and basketball maven, Henry was out of the army. Yossi said he'd managed to arrange a basketball scholarship for him at William Penn, a college in Iowa, but that Henry had never shown up. "How's that for gratitude," asked Yossi. Joan Toratelli swore that Henry was the father of her year-old child. But Joan was known to be a habitual liar. Suffice it to say there were all kinds of rumors and most of them were fantastical. Whatever the true story, Henry seemed to have made a great escape and I didn't doubt he was doing something daring and enviable.
Towards the end of the summer though, there began to be sightings. Old Phil Wachtel, who was in the local political club and might get you a summer job with the city if he knew your parents, was walking home from the Post Office when he saw Henry standing on the corner of Avenue B and 3rd Street. He'd told this to Anthony, a high-school friend of mine who was Phil's neighbor. Years back Henry had accidentally shot Anthony in a disastrous incident of teenage idiocy, so Anthony was no longer as enamored of Henry as I was. Nevertheless, he was curious. Anthony thought he'd seen Henry walking across the bandstand at Tompkins Square Park. But when Anthony walked up closer to the stage, Henry had disappeared.
Mrs. Meltzer, of apartment 4B at the Ageloff Towers, where my parents lived, was looking out her window and saw him sitting by himself on a bench in the little kid's playground on the north side of the P.S. 63 schoolyard. Mrs. Korotkin, who like Mrs. Meltzer, spent her days sitting in a folding chair along with a gaggle of stern-looking old ladies outside my parents' building, told me that she had seen Henry at the supermarket on the corner. "I seen him at the Key. He was buying baking soda," she said.
Have I mentioned the neighborhood's resurrection? If you were 24-years-old and had grown up there, it was the bars on Avenue B and Avenue A that seemed most incredible in 1984. Drinking joints filled with NYU students, European adventurers, scraggly bohemians, and brave young professionals. It seemed like a miracle. Being drunk in a bar without feeling any sense of danger, listening to strange music, talking to perfect strangers, hearing people speak French, being surrounded by new arrivals who weren't consumed by suspicion and anger, walking home without constantly looking over your shoulder, all of this was new to me. Actually, I still looked over my shoulder, but it was more out of habit than anything else.
When I think back on it today, I realize it wasn't all great. By '84 AIDS was out there and people you knew were dying. And many of the neighborhood's streets were still choked in a morbid narcotic haze. Those days were, I am sure, brutal and cruel for many. But for me, being in a bar filled with life and good spirits at an hour well past midnight, on a street that had been entirely deserted at night just 10 years ago, was a miracle.
It wasn't at one of the new places, but an old-time tavern across from Tompkins Square Park where I found myself one night that summer. The establishment is still there today with its horseshoe-shaped bar and pinball machine. Known to some as Vazacs and others as 7B, it has, over the years, been a favorite shooting location for movies. There's a scene that takes place there in The Godfather II, which I remember watching as it was filmed back in 1973 as I walked home from school. By now Vazacs had developed a following. During the day, it was still frequented mainly by old Ukrainian men and Puerto Ricans, but at night it was filled with newcomers.
That night I was drinking Bass Ale and trying to have a conversation with a Japanese woman who seemed to be saying she was a film director. It was hard to know for certain though because she kept putting her hand over her mouth as she talked. The conversation was going nowhere. She was walking away to go the bathroom when I saw Henry.
I wasn't sure at first, so I walked right up to him to take a closer look. Henry? The reason I wasn't completely sure was because Henry Shelton had shrunk. He didn't have his huge arms, the product of countless arm curls with free weights. That night at Vazacs those arms looked like twigs. And Henry's chest was gone. Ten years ago, when his shirt came off on the basketball court before choosing up sides for a game, Henry's chest had said, "Take me." But it had vanished completely, and there seemed to be only a hollow cavity left. He was shorter somehow as well. I don't know how a young man can lose three inches, but it had happened. So even looking closely, I couldn't really be certain it was him. But when Henry Shelton started talking, I knew. The sound of his voice hadn't changed.
He started off by saying something about Oscar Wilde and how running into his old friend here seemed like a scene out of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Then he asked about a girl from college that visited me one summer. "You know, the girl with the blonde hair, what happened to her?" Henry asked. Soon we were talking about old friends and whatever happened to Shap and Bobby and Aaron. Talking about how this one had moved to Chicago and that one was working as a bank teller. I thought about mentioning the drugs getting Aaron. There'd even been an article in the newspaper about him and others falling victim to a batch of bad heroin. But I decided not to say anything about it. Henry kept talking about his sister, who was doing something with costumes on Broadway, and Alaska, and playing pick-up ball with Hawthorne Wingo at West 4th Street and then again saying something weird about The Picture of Dorian Gray and how his old friend, by which he meant me, hadn't changed one bit.
Henry went on and on, pausing every now and then to allow me to nod my head or grunt in acknowledgement, but I began drifting, thinking about when we were kids and the time we'd jumped on the back of the M-14 when city buses had huge rear fenders, and you could hitch a free ride. He's talking and I'm remembering hanging onto the back of that bus. We'd thought it was going to turn down Avenue A but instead it had continued east on 14th Street before turning down Avenue D. And just as we were both starting to lose our grip, Henry had said jump, as the bus slowed down at the traffic light. We'd landed on our backs, in the middle of the street, laughing and thrilled and scared. Henry is now on a roll, referring to himself in the third person as Lord Henry. He is saying something about finding beautiful meaning in beautiful things, and I'm remembering the afternoon we were playing ball at the playground on 19th Street when the Daily News photographer walked up to us. The guy had said something about a series of articles on race relations and asked if he could take a photo of the two of us in a wrist-wrestling pose. We'd said sure and the next week a long article had come out with the title "When the Melting Pot Turns Into a Blast Furnace." Opposite the article was a full page photo of our arms entwined, my skinny white arm dwarfed by Henry's brown bulging biceps, and our hands locked in an embrace. I'd tacked the newspaper page with our photo onto the cork bulletin board in the bedroom that I shared with my brother. Henry's waving a shot glass now saying to cure the soul by means of the senses and I'm remembering singing Beatles songs with him in a subway station at four in the morning with two girls we'd met at a downtown club, TR3.
In the space of a few minutes, countless escapades flashed through my mind. Then I heard Henry saying how the only thing one never regrets is one's mistakes. What the hell was he talking about? I remember the little schoolyard on Third Street and standing by helplessly as one of the Dynamite Brothers beat Henry up, kicking him in the face again and again. And then he'd gotten bigger. Henry became my protector. There'd come a day, maybe around the age of 15, when thanks to my friend, I would have free reign of any schoolyard. Henry is saying how art is useless but at least there is beauty and he is pointing to a young lady at the bar who he has promised to escort home. And he walks up to the bar, takes her by the arm and then he's gone.
Afterward a friend said to me: "Didn't you know? How could you not know? Everyone knew." Little kids in the playground who'd heard all the stories about Henry now cursed at the mention of his name. My mother just shook her head. "Such a waste. He was a special one," she said. As time passed, people talked less and less. I heard stories about Henry borrowing money and not paying it back. Someone saw him walking down the street carrying a television set. Someone else said he was on the mend and in a program at Phoenix House or Odyssey House.
After that night at the bar, I saw him once at a party accompanied by another resident from his rehab center who was supposed to keep tabs on him. Henry was drinking water and talking about God. But it couldn't have been more than a few months after the night at Vazacs before he disappeared again. Henry was gone.
That fall I started law school and spent most weeknights studying and watching late night television. I'd just gotten cable hooked-up and had discovered the bizarre world of 1980s public access TV. There were incomprehensible talk shows. One of them featured Tuli Kupferberg, an old long-faced East Village beatnik poet, smoking pot, spouting aphorisms, singing badly and reading poems about Jewish mystics. On Channel J, a show called "Midnight Blue" featured sexual encounters and furious rants by its host, the pornographer Al Goldstein, about Bloomingdales, Santa Claus, the Manhattan DA, and various restaurants. It was a kind of X-rated consumer reports.
But there were also televised Knicks games. The team was awful that year with the exception of Brooklyn's Bernard King. Through losing game after losing game, only Bernard shined. Bernard with his magical quick release jump shot. Bernard driving to the basket, scoring and getting fouled. Only he could animate the Knicks broadcaster Marv Albert. "Yes, and it counts!" Marv would exclaim, and his excitement would rouse me just before I would doze off on the couch in front of the TV, remote clicker in my hand.
Those were my weeknights. Law books and TV. Contemplating questions of liberty, equality and due process followed by hectoring from Al Goldstein, soulful laments from Tuli Kupferberg and exclamations from Marv Albert. Jewish voices intertwined with images of people fucking and the Knickerbockers losing badly.
It's February and the Knicks are playing the Lakers of Kareem, Magic, Worthy and Michael Cooper and somehow it's a close game. Bernard is doing his thing but so are the other Knicks. Pat Cummings? I'm working my way through a six pack of Bass Ale. A tremendous Knickerbocker performance, but still I can't keep my eyes open.
Suddenly I'm standing on the back fender of a city bus barreling down Avenue D. Henry is there too, both of us barely hanging on with our freezing fingertips tucked into the wedge of space between the back panel and rear window. The bus slows down and we jump. We land safely. But there's a gang of kids from the Wald Houses running right at us. They have chains and swords, and are screaming at the top of their lungs. We take off running, heading west, as fast as we can. As we are crossing the Avenue a truck hits us. Thump. But it's all right because instead of being crushed we're transported right into the ball game.
There we are at Madison Square Garden. Sitting courtside is Tuli Kupferberg and Al Goldstein. "Margolies, the wandering Jew," Tuli sings out. Goldstein's smoking a fat cigar. He asks how I like law school. "Liberty, Equality, Bohemia," Tuli shouts out. "Due process," Goldstein says, laughing and holding both hands out as if he's in handcuffs about to taken away. Henry's laughing too and then the Knicks coach Hubie Brown is yelling at us. "Come on, now. Get in there." He's taking out Louis Orr and Rory Sparrow and putting me and Henry in the game. Magic looks confused. What the hell is going on here? Hubie calls timeout and I overhear Kareem talking about jazz with Kupferberg. When the game resumes, I bring up the ball. Passing half court, I see Henry dashing to the basket and toss him the ball. He's up above the rim ready to catch it and then… For a split-second, just a flicker of a moment, I see Henry on the TV screen and then he's gone. Marv exclaims, "Yes and it counts!"

Investigation into Syrian air strikes completed
The investigation into Coalition-led airstrikes targeting what was believed to be Daesh fighters near Dayr az Zawr, Syria, on 18 September 2016 (AEST), has found that the airstrikes were conducted in full compliance with the rules of engagement and the laws of armed conflict.
The investigation found the decisions that identified the targets as Daesh fighters were supported by the information available at the time. The investigation also found no evidence of deliberate disregard of targeting procedures or rules of engagement.
Although the identity of those killed or wounded could not be substantiated, the investigation found it was more likely than not that those struck were irregular forces aligned to the Syrian government who were not wearing recognisable military uniforms or displaying indentifying flags or markings.
Chief of the Defence Force, Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin said Australia's sole focus was to target Daesh.
"In many ways these forces looked and acted like the Daesh fighters the Coalition has been targeting for two years.
The situation on the ground in Syria is complex and dynamic. The Australian Air Task Group undertakes a detailed and robust sovereign approval process prior to conducting any strikes.
I have full confidence in our personnel's training, discipline and understanding of the imperative to operate in accordance with our strict rules of engagement," Air Chief Marshal Binskin said.
The rules of engagement are designed to minimise the risk of injury to civilian non-combatants and comply with Australia's legal obligations as well as protect Australian forces.
Coalition aircraft, including an Australian E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft and two F/A-18A Hornet strike fighters, along with US, UK and Danish aircraft, conducted the strikes under the coordination and control of the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC).
The Coalition investigation made four recommendations to refine the CAOC targeting process and further reduce the risk of errors:
Review the organisation, process and training associated with dynamic targeting;
Improve information sharing among analysts;
Strengthen the process for implementing lessons learned; and
Pass critical information immediately under the Flight Safety MoU.
The Chief of Joint Operations, Vice Admiral David Johnston said the CAOC had already started to implement the recommendations.
"To ensure Australia continues to meet the high standards we have set for ourselves, we will work with our partner nations to ensure these lessons are implemented across the Coalition," Vice Admiral Johnston said.
A link to the unclassified summary of the investigation is available at: www.centcom.mil/Portals/6/media/REDACTED_FINAL_XSUM_Memorandum__29_Nov_16___CLEAR.pdf

USDA's Top Food Safety Officials Report Meetings with Those Outside Government
By Dan Flynn on November 8, 2012
USDA's top four Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) officials held 22 meetings with persons outside the federal government over the summer, according to the agency's public calendar. Food Safety News periodically published summaries of public calendars for the federal government's top food safety officials, and last did so on June 25 for March, April and May 2012. Meeting schedules for Under Secretary for Food Safety Elisabeth A. Hagen, FSIS Administrator Al Almanza, Deputy Under Secretary Brian E. Ronholm, and FSIS Deputy Administrator Philip Derfler are posted on USDA's website. While the summer months of June, July and August are now available, no schedule information has been made available for the four officials since Sept. 1. In June, Almanza held private meetings with both the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and then he held separate monthly meetings with both consumer and industry representatives. Derfler joined in all the June meetings, except for the one with FMI. Both the FMI and NCBA meetings were about food safety. Ronholm, the deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety, joined the U.S. delegation attending the 35th Session of Codex Alimentarius in Rome from July 2 to 7, 2012. Deputy Administrator Derfler met in Washington, D.C. with a representative of Keystone Foods about food safety on July 9. Under Secretary Hagen attended the Conference on Emerging and Persistent Infectious Diseases put on in Fairfax, VA on July 9 and 10 by the Institute on Science for Global Policy. Two days later on July 12, Hagen met with representatives of the Partnership for Food Safety Education about USDA support for the next National Consumer Food Safety Education Conference. Almanza met separately with Cargill representatives on July 12, and Pfizer Animal Health on July 13, both over food safety issues. Ronholm, back from Rome, met with people from the National Research Council on July 17 about the group's most recent study for FSIS. Ronholm and Almanza took the July 18 monthly meeting of consumer representatives, and Almanza and Hagen both attended the July 19 monthly meeting on industry representatives. Then on July 26 to July 28, Hagen and Almanza both attended the Southwest Meat Association in San Antonio. Back in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 6, Hagen and Almanza meet with representatives of the JBS Swift and Co. over food safety issues. All four of the top officials attended regular monthly meetings with consumer representatives on Aug. 15 and industry representatives on Aug. 16. Both of those meetings were held in Washington D.C. Finally, Ronholm reported having a "general food safety discussion" with a "Beth Johnson" on Aug. 24. Most likely, he was referring to the Beth Johnson who is a government relations expert with Food Directions LLC, and who was a former acting Under Secretary for Food Safety.

Improving the general health of people with learning disabilities
Mike Kerr
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1192/apt.10.3.200
People with learning disabilities suffer an increase in common morbidity, communication difficulties, a high prevalence of serious conditions such as epilepsy, and specific patterns of health needs associated with the aetiology of their disability. Unfortunately, this combination of need is mirrored by a consistent picture of poor health promotion uptake, inadequate care for serious morbidity, unrecognised health need and poor access to health care. Consequently, there is a great disparity between the health of learning-disabled people and that of the general population. Psychiatrists can address this disparity in clinical practice by focusing on these patients' mental health, epilepsy management and the impact of behaviour on health. They can also influence health planning and service development.

'Scream VI' director addresses Neve Campbell's controversial exit from the film
Jamie Dunkin Dec 14, 2022 8:32 pm Dec 14, 2022 8:32 pm
Image: Paramount
Neve Campbell's departure from Scream VI came as a shock in early 2022, following the surprisingly good fifth installment just prior. With the new film just months away and Campbell's absence very noticeable, director Tyler Gillett has spoken out on the situation.
Scream VI's marketing campaign is officially upon us, with the first trailers, stills, and posters being dished out to the horror hordes online. The film heavily stresses its surprise New York location, with it actively feeling like a commentary on horror sequels getting more ridiculous with their settings.
While the returning characters are headed to New York, Sidney Prescott isn't. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gillett gave some insight into her departure but stressed they were more than able to amend the story to fit without her.
"We love Neve, and we're huge fans of Sidney Prescott, but it felt like there's an opportunity to really dig into this new crop of characters, and I think people will be really surprised and pleased with how successfully this movie does that.
"This movie's been in our lives now for quite a while, but I think that we are still consistently surprised by how rich and how interesting and deep the relationship is between the four of them in this movie."
Gillett definitely puts a very brave face on it all, with her exit stemming from a pay dispute. Given how synonymous Campbell is with the franchise, it reflects poorly on the studio rather than anyone else she wasn't offered proper remuneration for her significance.
The film also sees a huge potential boom in star Jenna Ortega's recent successes. The Wednesday star began her emphatic 2022 with an appearance in Scream 5, and has tripled her following on social media in recent weeks. If even a portion of her following goes to the film off the back of Wednesday, it could mean another $50 million at the box office.
Scream VI is set for a March 10, 2023 release as it manages to crawl past the usual box office death zone of January releases.

Q: Problem with using signed Applet with policy File i have a problem with the .java.policy entries for my applet.
I would try to create folders and files with an applet. I had already signed my jar and added in the ${user.home}/.java.policy-file the following lines:
grant {
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "write";
};

with this added lines, my applet works great, but this is not a good style, because every jar at any places becomes the file permissions too.
At the oracle pages are examples to set the codeBase to the specified applet.jar and set the signedBy (the alias wich the jar-file is signed) to grand permissions.
I have tried this many times, but it doesn't work.
The code i have tried:
grant codeBase "http://www.wkmovies.de/appletDemo/-" {
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "write";
};

or
grant signedBy "AKlettke" {
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "write";
};

I have uploaded this example to: www.wkmovies.de/appletDemo/index.html
How can i set up the policy file, that my applet will work?

Here my code snips:

EXPERT: PLANET X IS CAUSING MASS EXTINCTIONS ON EARTH
While the jury is still out on whether or not an undiscovered ninth planet is lurking on the outer edge of our Solar System, a new hypothesis suggests that this potential extra planet could be responsible for mass extinctions here on Earth – including the one that wiped out most of the dinosaurs . Though Planet Nine has seen a resurgence in the media recently, researchers have actually been looking for a ninth planet in the Solar System for over 100 years.
In fact, Daniel Whitmire, a maths instructor from the University of Arkansas, first published a paper in Nature on his own version of a ninth planet called Planet X, back in 1985, and has now suggested that the hypothetical planet could be responsible for catastrophic comet showers all the way over here on Earth. So how does a planet that's hundreds of billions of kilometres away rain down death on Earth?
According to Whitmire's hypothesis , it's a rather simple process. Basically, Planet X orbits the Sun like everything else in the Solar System. But every 27 million years, he says, it passes through the Kuiper belt, and dislodges a bunch of comets that come flying toward the Sun. Earth gets caught in this crossfire and, bam, mass extinction. Whitmire points to the fossil record, which shows some evidence that comet showers on Earth happen about every 26-27 million years.
"In 1985, a look at the palaeontological record supported the idea of regular comet showers dating back 250 million years," the University of Arkansas explains. "Newer research shows evidence of such events dating as far back as 500 million years." Not only would these comets hit Earth right in the face, they'd also burn up the closer they got to the Sun, therefore reducing the amount of light we receive. Back in 1985, a bunch of researchers were trying to understand why mass extinctions happen, with three separate hypotheses leading the way: the existence of a ninth planet; the existence of a sister Sun; or the vertical oscillations of the Sun were to blame. Over the past three decades, the latter two hypotheses have been disproven, while the search for Planet Nine has only gained momentum.
Now, while the hypothesis makes sense on the face of things, we should point out that it has not been published, so it's more of a neat little concept that needs a whole lot of proper investigation. And, rather crucially, there is debate over how long the ninth planet's hypothetical orbit around the Sun actually is – which is at the very crux of Whitmire's argument. As astronomer Mike Brown from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), who is leading the new charge to find Planet Nine, told Discovery News, there's been debate over what the undiscovered, unproven ninth planet in our Solar System could actually be like. Most significantly, while Whitmire's hypothetical Planet X has an orbit of 27 million years, the Planet Nine Brown and his colleagues are currently hunting down is much closer (relatively) to Earth, and has an orbit of 15,000 years. "Whitmire has been speculating for decades about a very distant very massive planet pushing comets around. It has to have an orbital period of something like 27 million years," Brown says. "While that idea may or may not make sense, it definitely has nothing to do with Planet Nine, which is much closer to the Sun and thus 'only' takes 15,000 years to go around."
"The evidence for Planet Nine says nothing about whether or not there is a more distant Planet X," he adds. So before we can even begin to start blaming a ninth planet for our Earthly catastrophes, researchers actually need to prove its existence. But hopefully, as more and more institutions start searching for it, we will one day have definitive answer about the mysterious planet that may or may not be lingering just out of sight and ready to assault us with comets. If supported by the evidence, Whitmire's hypothesis could provide a greater insight into how other planets in our Solar System affect evolution here on Earth .

Legislators listen to local interests
Ann Rivers and Liz Pike hold town hall meeting in Camas Library
By Dawn Feldhaus | January 8, 2013 12:00 am | comments
Sen. Ann Rivers, (R-La Center) and incoming Rep. Liz Pike, (R-Camas) listen to constituents' concerns Saturday, at the Camas Public Library. More than 75 people attended the 18th District town hall meeting. Topics included immigration, coal trains, guns in schools and light rail. The state legislative session is scheduled to begin Monday.
Guns in schools were among the topics discussed in an 18th District town hall meeting with Sen. Ann Rivers, (R-La Center) and incoming Rep. Liz Pike, (R-Camas).
During the meeting Saturday at the Camas Public Library, Pike said she has heard from teachers who like her proposal to allow them to carry guns in classrooms.
Chuck Miller, of Camas, said children need to be protected in schools.
"In Israel, teachers are heavily armed," he said. "In Utah, teachers are armed. Concealed weapons are needed to protect our kids."
Pike said she wants to get a broader community discussion going, regarding the issue of allowing teachers to carry guns.
"One important component that seems to have gotten lost in this discussion is that we need to shore up our mental health programs in Washington State," she said.The discussion could include adding school resource officers and arming teachers "who are overqualified to do so," Pike said.Tim Howell, husband of a kindergarten teacher, encouraged Pike to "continue that fight," to allow teachers to carry guns.
"It could be a deterrent," he said.
Rivers, a concealed gun permit holder and former teacher, said she does not have a problem with Pike's proposal.
"She is starting a discussion that needed to happen a long time ago," Rivers said.
"I support what Pike is doing — include as many stakeholders as possible [in the discussion]," she added.
John Ley, a commercial airlines pilot from Camas, wondered if there should be gun training for teachers similar to a program offered to pilots.
The training that Ley went through involved a screening process and voluntarily using vacation time to train in New Mexico.
"Children are our most precious commodity," Ley said.
Pike said the pilots program is already vetted on the federal level.
"I want to hear all ideas, to come up with the best plan," she said.
Pike said she is not an advocate for having a gun in every classroom.
Other town hall topics included coal trains, immigration, light rail, marijuana, all-day kindergarten, seat belts on school busses, and Bonneville Power Administration towers potentially affecting local property values.
The state legislative session is scheduled to begin Monday. Pike and Rivers said they plan to hold additional town hall meetings this year.

Georgia Senate passes medical marijuana plan opposed by advocates
Jim "J-Bo" Wages holds a bottle of cannabis oil for her daughter Sydney at their home in Dallas on Wednesday, February 8, 2017. The family was among the very first to receive permission from Georgia to use low-dose cannabis oil without fear of prosecution. While proponents have sought a broad expansion of Georgia's limited legalization of medical marijuana and found a likely refuge in the state House, the Georgia Senate this year has quietly moved ahead with a plan that would in effect downsize the nascent program and alienate dozens of families and children currently allowed to possess cannabis oil to help treat debilitating conditions.

The Georgia Senate passed a plan Thursday to downsize a key part of Georgia's medical marijuana law, despite warnings from advocates that it will alienate dozens of families and children who use cannabis oil to help treat debilitating conditions.
Senate Bill 16, sponsored by state Sen. Ben Watson, R-Savannah, would add one additional condition — autism — to the state's list of those eligible for use of the oil. However, it would also reduce the maximum THC level in the cannabis oil now allowed here from 5 percent to 3 percent, which backers of the plan said would bring the state more in line with others that also allow limited forms of the oil.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will again have Georgia's largest team covering the Legislature. Get complete daily coverage during the legislative session at myAJC.com/georgialegislature.
THC is the component in the drug that makes people high. While there have been no reported problems in Georgia with the state's low-THC oil program, some senators have expressed concern that the THC percentage is still too high.
Many of the more than a dozen states that have low-THC programs only allow percentages of 1 or lower. Advocates including doctors, however, have said while the oil generally has not worked for everybody, some patients respond better to cannabidiol with a higher percentage THC and would be negatively affected by the change.
Watson on Thursday also called for federal officials to reconsider the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug, the most dangerous class of drugs with a high potential for abuse and addiction, and no accepted medical uses, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Changing that classification would allow more freedom for sanctioned use of the drug in medical research studies.
"To say cannabidiol has no medicinal value is just not true," said Watson, who is a medical doctor.
Under Georgia's 2015 law legalizing limited use of medical marijuana, patients and, in the case of children, families who register with the state are allowed to possess up to 20 ounces of cannabis oil to treat severe forms of eight specific illnesses, including cancer, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
Passage of SB 16 on a 41-12 vote sends it to the House, which is considering separate efforts including House Bill 65 and House Resolution 36 that would much more broadly expand the law.

It does survive as itself. But I view it as also having an immaterial copy of the living me/mind/consciousness.
dhw: We have dealt with "using the brain" a hundred times. What does it use the brain for, apart from information and material expression?
If my soul is me and I use the brain to think so does my soul as it is me in immaterial form.
Too simplistic. I/soul use my brain to create thought using the electric networks. I/soul cnn to create thought without those networks.
Not what we know from the material side of this. I/soul cannot think without the brain during life.
dhw: If we remove this confusing distinction, we are left with the following: Your soul thinks – not your soul and you – and it uses your brain in life for information and material expression, and it is the immaterial essence of you that goes into the afterlife. Classic dualism.
Your same rigid concept of dualism. You have separated me and my soul as usual. I and my soul are me, but my soul is also an immaterial representative essence of me that is an exact copy of me that can survive into the afterlife. My soul and I use my brain to form thought and my soul provides the mechanism by which consciousness appears from electricity in the brain which contains the thought..
You never revise from your rigid view of dualism. We view dualism totally differently in our definitions. Note what I have written: my soul is me but is also an immaterial copy of me that goes to the afterlife. My immaterial soul is also the mechanism that creates consciousness as the soul/I think with the brain. My soul can never think on its own separate from me, except when it arrives in the afterlife and doesn't have the material me hanging around. This fully separates material life from immaterial existence afterward. It is clearly a form of dualism, but certainly not yours.

Hispanic-Owned Terrapin Eager to Open Hoboken Medical Marijuana Store
ByDan Ulloa
Dec 9, 2021 cannabis industry, medical cannabis, medical marijuana, new jersey cannabis, new jersey marijuana, NJ Cannabis, NJ marijuana
Colorado-based Terrapin Care Station has become the first known minority-owned company allowed to operate a medical marijuana store in New Jersey.
They were among the 30 companies awarded a medical cannabis dispensary license by the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) this week. Their primary location will be in Hoboken at 86 River Street across from the PATH station.
"We are thrilled to be moving forward with plans to bring critical cannabis medicine to patients in New Jersey," said Chris Woods, owner and CEO of Terrapin. "We are thankful to our partners in the Hoboken community for patiently supporting us with open arms."
Woods is a Hispanic American who grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and whose parents now live across the Delaware River in Lambertville, NJ in Hunterdon County.
"We look forward to serving the community as responsible corporate citizens in meeting the demands of cannabis patients while leaving a positive community impact," he said.
Terrapin has received approval from Hoboken, including approvals by the Planning Board and the Hoboken Medical Cannabis Review Board. The company will begin construction with the hope of opening its dispensary in about six months.
"It's a huge deal to bring legal cannabis back to the area where we grew up. I grew up in Manhattan and later moved to Westchester County in New York myself, so getting back east with this is a big deal for all of us," Terrapin Communications Director Peter Marcus said.
"We all grew up and moved out of the area, but you know how it is; northeast lives in your blood," he added. "Our hearts are filled, and we're incredibly excited to share our incredible brand with the good people of New Jersey."
They have been aggressively defending their application and site in Hoboken and sued to make the dispensary Harmony go through the Medical Cannabis Reviews Board approval process after they were approved using a simpler process. Harmony was ultimately approved to operate in Hoboken.
Terrapin is a cannabis corporation that is a Multi-State Operator (MSO) with six dispensaries and four cultivation/processing facilities in Colorado. They also operate a licensed grower/processor medical cannabis facility in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, and Kansas City, Missouri. Terrapin also operates a medical/adult-use cultivation/processing facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan. What started as a one-man company in Boulder, CO in 2009 has become a national company with more than 500 employees.
Opening a Medical Marijuana Store in Hoboken
The approval concluded four years of outreach Terrapin did to operate a medical marijuana store in Hoboken.
Delays stemming from a lawsuit prevented the CRC from scoring applications resolved in February. They were subsequently understaffed since the five member-commission was not fully named until March and seated until April.
"This is good news for the Hoboken residents and local patients who will reap the benefits of not only increased access to medical cannabis but also new revenues the city will collect through our medical cannabis transfer tax," said Mayor Ravi Bhalla. "These funds will be transformational as they have been allocated to support social justice initiatives, cannabis education programs, the special improvement district, community policing, and similar social programs."
"We have a proven track record that ensures that we will fit in with the fabric of the community," Woods said. "The relationships we have developed with the community allow us to serve as a responsible partner who is invested in the future of Hoboken and North Jersey. We look forward to the good work ahead."
"Terrapin's commitment to our community and the patients of New Jersey has been impressive," said Joseph Castelo, a long-time high-profile Hoboken resident who partnered with Terrapin. He is a filmmaker and co-owner of Antique Bar and Bakery, a Hoboken restaurant, and Sweven, a members-curated workspace.
He partnered with Terrapin because of the company's commitment to giving back to the Hoboken community.
"Terrapin's culture aligns strongly with our passion for serving the local community," Castelo added.
Terrapin says they are committed to equity and social justice. As part of its commitment, it worked with several nonprofits and organizations to create a beneficial footprint.
They are also part of a national coalition Cannabis in Common campaign for legalization.
