Farmington High School Building Committee Ellen Siuta, Chair of the Board of Education told the Council the Board of Education had unanimously approved the schematic drawings for the proposed Farmington High School project and the plan completely met the Board of Education's Statement of Needs. She thanked the Building Committee for all their hard work. She introduced Meghan Guerrera Chair of the Farmington High School Building Committee and thanked her for her outstanding leadership of the Farmington High School Building Committee. Ms. Guerrera gave a detailed overview of the project recorded with these minutes as Agenda Item C-2 and played a video about the project. Kathryn Kra{ewski, Assistant Town Manager gave a summary of the tax impact the project would have on residents. The Chair opened the meeting for public comments and questions about the project. Matt Hutvagner of 4 Deepwood Road told the Council the current high school building was beyond its useful life and the Town needed a new high school. He did not want the Town to waste any more money on a failing building. Minutes of the Town of Farmington Regular Town Council Meeting May L1,,2O2I 2 Emily Kaliney of 30 High Street thanked everyone for their hard work on the project. She believed it was the correct time financially to do ttre project, which was greatly needed. She encouraged everyone to vote yes. Sam Reisner of 41 Main Street thanked everyone for the hard work on the project and looked forward to voting yes on the project. He encouraged everyone to vote yes and commended the Town and the Building Committee on their clear and accurate communication with the public throughout the project. He told the public ttrat information on the project could be found on the Comprehensive FHS website. James Ratcliffe of 92 Knollwood Road told the Council he had learned what poor condition the high school building was in throughout the Building Committee process He felt the proposed building was excellent and met the needs of the students and community. He thanked everyone for their work on the project and encouraged everyone to vote yes. Two recent graduates of Farmington High School spoke about their experiences at the high school and the deficiencies in the building. They believed the Town needed a new high school building to maintain the Town's high standards in education. Ruth Grobe of 10 Hearthstone Lane questioned the signs that said tell them no again. She believed the "them" are us. The project was good for the communlty and should be supported. She encouraged everyone to vote yes. Jay Tlrlin of 39 Timberline Drive urged everyone to vote yes especially his fellow senior citizens. He felt the project would benefit the students and the entire communit5r. Joanne Lawson of 9 Prattling Pond Road thanked everyone for their hard work on the project. She questioned why the tax impact for the first five years was only discussed. She was disappointed the final 15 years were ignored. Pierre Guertin of L2 Henley Commons believed the project was needed and this was a better approach than the previous project that was defeated. He was concerned that the project was not getting any more support in the community than the previous project. He felt there had not been enough time taken to explain the project to a broader group of residents. He hoped at the Town Meeting things could be explained further and ways to mitigate costs could be discussed. Jillian Holt of 35 Littlebrook Crossing spoke in favor of the project and was concerned the current high school was not safe and accessible to everyone. Rafeena Lee of 3 Hamilton Way thanked everyone for their work on the project. She expressed her support for the project and wanted the public to know a no vote would not change anything. The needs would still be there, and it was our time to pay forward the actions of the past that supported education. She encouraged everyone to vote yes. Minutes of the Town of Farmington Regular Town Council Meeting May lL,2O2l . Jon Schoenhorn of 155 Town Farm Road told the Council he had a daughter that had graduated from the high school in 2010 and, the physical structure was run down then. He felt it was important for everyone to support the high school whether someone believed they were getting a direct benefit from the project or not. It was important to support education and that there would be a benefit to everyone through property values. He believed it was a quality-of-life issue for the Town. Marcus Fairbrother of 12 Candlewood Road thanked everyone for their hard work on the project and that he had followed the project and understood the need. He wanted everyone to know the cost of saying no was not free. He believed to send a message that you do not care about your community was very costly and, it would make Farmington no longer a desirable place to live. Jessica Lister of 8 Candlewood Road told the Council she was very enthusiastic about the project. She believed voting yes showed pride in our community. Tim Kelly of 62 Westview Terrace believed the project needed extra support to be successful at referendum. He did not want the project to be put to the voters if it were going to fail again. Jennifer Albert of 42 Woodruff Road told the Council she had moved to Farmington 25 yea-rs ago because it was a standout community. She was aware of the challenges at the current high school and thanked the Building Committee for a perfect solution. She asked everyone to vote yes. Motion was made and seconded (Mastrobattista/Capodiferro) to waive the Rules of Procedure to consider Agenda Items N-2 and N-3 at this point of the meeting. Adopted unanimously Agenda Item N-2 To approve the attached schematic drawings and project cost estimate for the Farmington High School Building Project as recommended by the Farmington High School Building Committee Motion was made and seconded (Mastrobattista/Capodiferro) to approve the motion recorded with these minutes as Agenda Item N-2.

    1 HIGHLIGHTS AND BREAKTHROUGHS 2 Sapphire, a not so simple gemstone 3 F. LIN SUTHERLAND1* 4 1Geoscience, Australian Museum, 1 William Street, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia. 5 *E-mail: [email protected] 6 Abstract: Sapphire is a gemstone of considerable reach and is much researched. It still delivers scientific surprises, as exemplified by a 7 recent paper in American Mineralogist that re-interprets the origin of needle-like rutile inclusions that form “silk” in sapphires. 8 Understanding of variations in sapphire genesis continues to expand. Keywords: Sapphire, inclusions, trace elements, genesis 9 Sapphire as a gem variety of corundum has wide use in the gem trade as one of the more historically valuable colored gem stones 10 (CGS) and is mined from a great variety of continental gem deposits across the world. A masterly compendium on this gemstone and its 11 ramifications is recently available (Hughes 2017). As a gem, sapphire ranges through all the colors of corundum, except where 12 sufficient Cr enters its α-alumina crystal structure and causes the red color of the variety ruby. Sapphire, as a key pillar in a wide 13 economic network of gem enhancing treatments, jewelry and other manufacturing enterprises, has elicited numerous scientific and 14 gemological enquiries into its internal nature and natural genesis and subsequent treatments. A further use of sapphire as a synthetic 15 material with a great variety of purposes also has triggered a proliferation of detailed studies on its growth, properties and other element 16 substitutional effects (Dobrovinski et al. 2009). Even with this vast range of studies, this apparently simple gemstone still yields 17 controversies and breakthroughs in understanding its genetic formation.

  • Do Zircon and Monazite Consistently Record Garnet Growth in High-Grade Rocks?
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 21, EGU2019-5915-1, 2019 EGU General Assembly 2019 © Author(s) 2019. CC Attribution 4.0 license. Do zircon and monazite consistently record garnet growth in high-grade rocks? Lorraine Tual (1,2), Ellen Kooijman (1), Melanie Schmitt (1), and Matthijs Smit (2) (1) Department of Geosciences, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden ([email protected]), (2) Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Garnet Lu-Hf ages are used to monitor the systematics of rare earth elements (REE) and age record in accessory minerals. We performed in-situ LA-(MC-)ICPMS U-(Th-)Pb dating and REE analysis on zircon and monazite in two contrasting high-grade rock samples: dry felsic granulite xenoliths from the Pamir, Tajikistan and fluid-rich, ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) migmatites from the Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norway. In parallel, garnet from the same samples were subjected to REE analysis and dated by Lu-Hf. The datasets are compared to see whether, and to what extent, REE systematics in accessory phases can be correlated with garnet growth. Garnet in the hydrous UHP migmatite contains abundant zircon and monazite inclusions. The Gd/Yb values and U-(Th-)Pb ages of these inclusions show significant dispersion and do not systematically correlate. Highest Gd/Yb values occur at 420-410 and c. 420 Ma for monazite and zircon, respectively. Garnet in this rock yielded a Lu-Hf garnet bulk age of c. 422 Ma. The data obtained from the dry Pamir xenoliths show a different pattern. Accessory minerals grew in distinct pulses between 50 and 11 Ma, and indicate garnet growth between 42-37 Ma [1].

The genesis of the REE mineralization that occurred in the Gyemyeongsan Formation has been reported by previous researchers; theories include the fractional crystallization of alkali magma, magmatic hydrothermal alteration, and recurrent mineralization during metamorphism. In the Gyemyeongsan Formation, we discovered an allanite-rich vein that displays the paragenetic relationship of quartz, allanite, and zircon, and we investigated the chemistry and chronology of zircon obtained from this vein. We analyzed the zircon’s chemistry with an electron probe X-ray micro analyzer (EPMA) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The grain size of the zircon is as large as 50 µm and has an inherited core (up to 15 µm) and micrometer-sized sector zoning (up to several micrometers in size). In a previous study, the zircon ages were not obtained because the grain size was too small to analyze.

  • REVERSIBLE COLOR MODIFICATION of BLUE ZIRCON by LONG-WAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION Nathan D
    FEATURE AR ICLES REVERSIBLE COLOR MODIFICATION OF BLUE ZIRCON BY LONG-WAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION Nathan D. Renfro Exposing blue zircon to long-wave ultraviolet (LWUV) radiation introduces a brown coloration, resulting in a somewhat unattractive, much less valuable gemstone. Common sources of accidental long-wave radiation that can affect mounted faceted blue zircons are tanning beds and UV lights used to apply acrylic fingernails. To determine if the LWUV-induced brown color in zircon is completely and easily reversible, quantitative UV-visible spectroscopy was used to measure the difference in absorption before and after LWUV exposure. This study explored the nature of the UV-induced color-causing defect to es- tablish whether subsequent exposure to visible light would completely restore the blue color. Spectro- scopic examination showed that blue color in zircon is due to a broad absorption band in the ordinary ray, starting at 500 nm and centered at approximately 650 nm. LWUV exposure induced absorption features, including a broad band centered at 485 nm that was responsible for the brown color. irconium silicate (ZrSiO ), better known as zir- cern was returning the stones to their vivid blue color. 4 con, is prized for its brilliance, vibrant color, One of these stones was reportedly restored to the de- Zand high clarity.

    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 104 7th International Conference on Mechatronics, Control and Materials (ICMCM 2016) Determination for structure and spectral characteristics of tabular beryl crystal HE Tao1, YIN Qiong2,* 1.Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering, Tianjin Vocational Institute, Tianjin, China 2.School of Mining Technology, Kunming Metallurgy College, Kunming, Yunnan, China *. Correspondence author Key words: Beryl, optical characteristics, inclusion, crystal, structure determination Abstract. Beryl in nature is columnar crystal generally; Beryl of clintheriform is quite rare. Different thermal luminescent effect occurs due to difference in geological and geochemical conditions for mineralization, and crystal lattice defects, impurity element content, radiation dose received from outside, thermal history and other items of beryl. There is negative crystal inclusion of ditrigonal scalenohedron in crystal, from an analysis of mineral deposit characteristics, inclusion, spectroscopic characteristics, optimization processing, artificial synthesis and other aspects of beryl. It can be concluded from the said analysis: Beryl crystal of clintheriform is huge and of perfect shape, high diaphaneity and high gemological value. And its peculiar paragenetic combination is of extremely high ornamental value. Causes of beryl Beryl is beryllium-aluminosilicate mineral. Colors of its varieties are different, pale blue (called as aquamarine), dark green (called as emerald), golden yellow (called as golden beryl), pink (called as morganite) and etc. The pale bluish green one is the most common. Beryl is of hexagonal cylindrical crystal generally and of various colors in most cases. Beryl is Be3Al2(SiO3)6, where Be and Al may be replaced by different microelement to make various colors appear in it. Origin and inclusion of beryl According to research, origins of emerald in the world are mainly located in Columbia and Russia, which occupy more than 90% of world output.
