It is distributed free to lake property owners and friends around Lake Washington. Committees 18 2 End Of The Dock By Steve Grotbo, President From my not so impartial view, I have to say that we are lucky to be living on Lake Washington. From all the various people I meet and hear from that live on the lake full time, use it seasonally, or those just visiting all have that welcoming attitude. The reviews from the VRBO / Airbnb places around the lake reflect these same welcome feeling. One neighbor taught my nephew and niece to water ski. Another neighbor gave me a pontoon ride on one very windy day to the east side sandbar area. This was looking a bit like “Big Island” with around 40 boats all parked in a calm part of the lake. Okay, so we will hopefully never be as crowded as Minnetonka, but it was nice to see that a windy day on one part of the lake brings the neighbors together on another part and you can still enjoy the water. Two private events were posted on Lake Washington’s Facebook page inviting the entire lake to their place for live music. First being the fifth annual “Rock the Dock” and the other being the “Southside Sunset Rockin’”. This is besides the excellent firework display from numerous houses to celebrate the fourth. It is great to bring people together and announcing events on Facebook helps give the heads up for those who are wanting to avoid the crowds. Please welcome Brett Rasmussen as the newest member of the board. Brett lives on the southwest corner of the lake. He has taken over from Cathy Klehr, thus a 1 ½ year term instead of the normal three. During the August potluck it was asked on exactly what does being part of the board entail? The board meets once per month between February and October alternating between first Tuesday and Thursday of the month for about an hour. Each board member chooses which committees to be part of and helps out with these areas. Contributing articles to the newsletter. Meeting new people and having fun. We were very lucky with prior two seasons having very few weeds, but this season brought us back more to the norm. I was contacted a few times for recommendations for weed removal around the docks and beach area. Unfortunately I do not have any experience with this endeavor, so if people have found a service they like please do pass the information along. The fishing at the lake has certainly changed over the years. With only 73 tags being reported out of the 1800 walleye tagged tells me that you are lucky to catch one. Not sure if the cormorants and pelicans are doing any better, but then again they are not turning in the tags. Perhaps the metal tag is poisonous to them and it is helping control the population? On the other side, we have had a number bass tournaments being held at the lake. So I guess the bass population is doing well, but personally is not my favorite fish for eating. Party - East Side Sandbar Area 3 Geek World By Ron Bubany, Mad Scientist Many of you readers have joined the 21st century and are using so- called “smart phones”. These devices can do many things - Angry Bird, Text, Photograph, and even make phone calls. And, of course, they can be used to access the World Wide Web. Apparently a lot of you Association members are doing just that. You are using your phone to peruse the Lake Association web site. It must be difficult to view 8.5 x 11 documents on a screen with a size of only 2.5 x 4 inches. As a possible solution, your mad scientist has re-engineered our web site to be more friendly to these modern devices. This new site (currently being developed and evaluated) is available for you to try out. It has all of the content that we have available on the existing web site - so they are interchangeable. The new site can be reached at https://www.lwiaonline.com. Try it out with your desktop, laptop, tablet and/or smart phone - whatever you have. If you are polite I will be happy to read your comments and suggestions. At my discretion, I will incorporate your ideas as best I can. You can email me at [email protected]. The web site you currently know and love is still there at lakewashingtonassn.com. So no need to be concerned that we have lost anything. And Now, A Word Or Two From Your Editor By Ron Bubany, Editor We have a great issue for you this fall. Our highlight article is a letter from Scott Mackenthun who is the Area Supervisor, Hutchinson Area Fisheries for our local Department of Natural Resources. Scott fills us in, in great detail, with what is happening with their walleye survey project. I’m sure that you will find it to be very interesting. It includes tagging, walleye migration and also a little bit about the controversial cormorant/pelican issues. And then there are all of our usual reports - Sharon Daniels updates us on Grant activity. Pat Hanson and myself update you on Eurasian Water Milfoil and other Aquatic Invasive Species. Skip Sustacek and Dave Rathe provide information about the watershed. Dave also updates us on Zebra Mussels, Water Quality and Watercraft Inspections. Steve Ullom (my nomination for Lake Historian) delves into the history surrounding weeds in the lake. And finally, we provide our information from the various committees. Enjoy! 4 2019 Approved Grant Program By Sharon Daniels, Grant Coordinator The Fall colors are beginning to come out brighter and very colorful! Such a pretty time of year. With Fall upon us it is now time to begin the grant process for MCAL and AIS for 2020. Board members and others have been busy all year long doing projects around the lake, thus the In-Kind hours (volunteer hours) have accumulated. I am working on completing an excel chart showing in-kind hours for 2019. Thus far there have been 882 volunteer hours! THAT’S A LOT OF VOLUNTEER HOURS INTO KEEPING THE LAKE AT ITS BEST BY MANY PEOPLE! THANKS TO ALL! In September I started to gather receipts for expenses for completing the lake projects and I will be billing out invoices for reimbursement from grant money allotted to us in 2019 from Meeker County Association of Lakes (MCAL), as well for Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). October 17, 2019 is the deadline to have the MCAL grant application completed for 2020. The AIS grant application is due November 15, 2019 for 2020. The board has identified prominent projects for 2020 for the MCAL application. They are: begin the process of water testing and water flow of 20 lake inlets around the lake, I-LIDS monitoring and maintenance, and education providing newsletters, boat safety and other information. The AIS grant application will involve projects of AIS education, search for Starry Stonewort, zebra mussel, and Eurasian water milfoil inspection programs, treatment and management. These projects are vital to us as lake owners, and to the public to keep our lake at its best. We apply for grant funding/reimbursement to help defray the costs of these projects each year. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns in regards to grant processing you can reach me at [email protected]. To all the volunteers that helped work on projects during 2019, THANK YOU! Grant Coordinator, Sharon Daniels 5 Eurasian Water Milfoil By Ron Bubany It turns out that there are not one, but two problems with Eurasian Water Milfoil. Firstly, when it grows to the top of the water, its clumps impede all sorts of water activity. It can even be dangerous to swimmers getting tangled up in it. Fortunately, during the last couple of years we have not had such a problem. A second category of problem is that the plants break off during the summer and float around the lake. Eventually they end up on the shoreline, creating a smelly mess for property owners. We have experienced this very problem during the past summer. From our bottom recordings taken summer before last I was able to manually find locations of probable milfoil growth. Those areas are shown in the map below. The “leafy” looking areas are places where we have actually found milfoil. Needless to say we will need to address this issue next spring. We will probably hire professional help to complete a survey of the lake. From that we can assess where treatments might be indicated. Thank You for Supporting the Lake Washington Improvement Association! As a Lake Association we would like to thank the following for supporting us during 2019. B&B Sports paid for the pork chops at our Annual Membership meeting in May and EZ Dock and Lift for paying for the meat and buns at our Pot-Luck Dinner in August.

II. : THE deiterol STUD BOOK, CONTAINING PEDIGREES OF RACE HORSES, &C. &-C. From the earliest Accounts to the Year 1831. inclusice. ITS FOUR VOLUMES. VOL. II. Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • National Morgan Horse Show July ?6, 27
    he ULY 9 8 MORGAN HORSE NATIONAL MORGAN HORSE SHOW JULY ?6, 27 THE MORGAN HORSE Oldest and Most Highly Esteemed of American Horses MORGAN HORSES are owned the nation over and used in every kind of service where good saddle horses are a must. Each year finds many new owners of Morgans — each owner a great booster who won- ders why he didn't get wise to the best all-purpose saddle horse sooner. Keystone, the champion Morgan stallion owned by the Keystone Ranch, Entiat, Washington, was winner of the stock horse class at Wash- ington State Horse Show. Mabel Owen of Merrylegs Farm wanted to breed and raise hunters and jumpers. She planned on thoroughbreds until she discovered the Morgan could do everything the thoroughbred could do and the Morgan is calmer and more manageable. So the Morgan is her choice. The excellent Morgan stallion, Mickey Finn, owned by the Mar-La •antt Farms, Northville, Michigan, is another consistent winner in Western LITTLE FLY classes. A Morgan Horse on Western Range. Spring Hope, the young Morgan mare owned by Caven-Glo Farm Westmont, Illinois, competed and won many western classes throughout the middle-west shows the past couple of years, leaving the popular Quar- ter horse behind in many instances. The several Morgan horses owned by Frances and Wilma Reichow of Lenore, Idaho, usually win the western classes wherever they show. J. C. Jackson & Sons operate Pleasant View Ranch, Harrison, Mon- tana. Their Morgan stallion, Fleetfield, is a many-times champion in western stock horse classes. They raise and sell many fine Morgan horses each year.

  • Intermedial Autobiography Since Roland Barthes A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Between Erasure and Exposure: Intermedial Autobiography Since Roland Barthes A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies by Lauren Elizabeth Van Arsdall 2015 © Copyright by Lauren Elizabeth Van Arsdall 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Between Erasure and Exposure: Intermedial Autobiography Since Roland Barthes by Lauren Elizabeth Van Arsdall Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Malina Stefanovska, Chair In my dissertation, I investigate the trend toward intermedial representations of the self in contemporary French personal writing of an autobiographical type. The theoretical framework of my dissertation is based on notions of referentiality presented in La chambre claire, and in essays contemporaneous to Roland Barthes’s by Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Derrida, Pierre Bourdieu, and Jean Baudrillard. As I demonstrate, they are in dialogue with it, all the while exploring the boundaries of self-representation in relation to illness and death. At the outset, an analysis of the discourses of photography in France from the 1980s to the early 2000s informs my discussion of representations of an expected death in works by Alix Cléo Roubaud, Jacques Roubaud, Annie Ernaux, and Hervé Guibert. I argue that the legacy of a Barthesian conceptualization of the photograph obliges writers to rethink their stance towards representing the self. Through gestures of erasure and exposure, they create an intermedial aesthetic coupling writing, photography, and film to explore anew certain taboos concerning self and death. Intermediality opens up the notions of referentiality presented in Roland Barthes’s La chambre ii claire: note sure la photographie— the making of traces through writing, memories, and recording the body.
