The Bottom Shelf Review Wilson College 2009
The Bottom Shelf Review Wilson College 2009 Edited by: Jessica Carnes and Jess Domanico Advised by: Dr. Michael G. Cornelius Review Staff: Kayla Chagnon, Suzanne Cole, and Nicole Twigg My Mother’s Hands Debbie Arthur I think of my mother and I think of her hands; Why? When looking back over my life, all of the things that I seem to remember about her, she was using her hands I remember when those hands patched walls with plaster. They took off rooms and rooms of wallpaper; painted every wall in our home with every color of the rainbow. They carried coal to the furnace to keep us warm in the winter; and dug out the cellar to store that coal. Those hands took care of her children, digging stones out of our knees, putting bandage upon bandage on so many cuts and bruises to make them better. They smacked us when we disobeyed and marched us to church 3 times a week. They took care of us when we were sick, patting our hot little heads; feeding us when we were too sick to eat, and with all those kids that was a lot of feeding. They tucked warm blankets around each of her children to keep out the cold at night. They folded in prayer each and every day to talk to God. You would think they would be worn out with all that work they have done over the years for so many of us. But they are not. When I walk into that house today, stressed or upset, those hands on my face and wrapped around me give me peace, it flows through those hands into me and they don’t let go till I am calm. -

Victorian Climbing Management Guidelines
Victorian Climbing Management Guidelines Compiled for the Victorian Climbing Community Revision: V04 Published: 15 Sept 2020 1 Contributing Authors: Matthew Brooks - content manager and writer Ashlee Hendy Leigh Hopkinson Kevin Lindorff Aaron Lowndes Phil Neville Matthew Tait Glenn Tempest Mike Tomkins Steven Wilson Endorsed by: Crag Stewards Victoria VICTORIAN CLIMBING MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES V04 15 SEPTEMBER 2020 2 Foreword - Consultation Process for The Victorian Climbing Management Guidelines The need for a process for the Victorian climbing community to discuss widely about best rock-climbing practices and how these can maximise safety and minimise impacts of crag environments has long been recognised. Discussions on these themes have been on-going in the local Victorian and wider Australian climbing communities for many decades. These discussions highlighted a need to broaden the ways for climbers to build collaborative relationships with Traditional Owners and land managers. Over the years, a number of endeavours to build and strengthen such relationships have been undertaken; Victorian climbers have been involved, for example, in a variety of collaborative environmental stewardship projects with Land Managers and Traditional Owners over the last two decades in particular, albeit in an ad hoc manner, as need for such projects have become apparent. The recent widespread climbing bans in the Grampians / Gariwerd have re-energised such discussions and provided a catalyst for reflection on the impacts of climbing, whether inadvertent or intentional, negative or positive. This has focussed considerations of how negative impacts on the environment or cultural heritage can be avoided or minimised and on those climbing practices that are most appropriate, respectful and environmentally sustainable. -

Ecology is presented as a way of thinking about and interpreting one's own environment, which can only be learned by practising, by applying these ideas to one's specific situation. Some people are 'ecologists with their heads', considering ecology to be a purely academic, scientific subject; some are 'ecologists with their hearts', being concerned about the future conditions for life on our planet Earth; others are 'ecologists with their hands', having learned some basic principles of ecology by trial and error in traditional agriculture, fisheries etcetera. Education of 'ecologists in their mind', combining the positive sides of the three approaches mentioned, can be seen as essential for the future of a country such as the Democratic Republic 'of the Sudan, with its large environmental potential for positive development, along with great risks of mis-managing the natural resources. -

If you want wool for fiber arts, or if you like spring lamb but can’t find (or afford) it in local markets, you don’t have to be convinced. But if you Shave a little extra pasture land that’s not enough for a beef cow, or if you’d rather raise and butcher several smaller meat animals than one large one, sheep certainly deserve consideration. BUYING A common way to get started with sheep is to buy grade ewes and a purebred ram. But whatever you buy, there are certain things to look for. In the ram, be especially conscious of the condition of the animal’s feet and legs. A ram without good legs and feet will not do his job. Avoid buying rams with ques- tionable semen quality. -

Rise of the Rock Clones • These Days You Don't Have to Stalk the Wilds to Climb Some of the Sport's Most Popular Rocks, Reports Shermakaye Bass
Rise of the rock clones • These days you don't have to stalk the wilds to climb some of the sport's most popular rocks, reports Shermakaye Bass. It's a whole new wall game. Shermakaye Bass - February 1, 2005 As fielding posson approaches the Feather, a notoriously hard bouldering route at Hueco Tanks State Park in Texas, he visualizes the sequence of moves, imagining each foothold, hand pocket and ridiculous undercling. Then he mounts, climbing quickly and fluidly, powering out from the deep hollow at the boulder's base, to the massive bulge with its slopey pockets, and up to the head wall, with its fossil-like feather pattern. Finally, he tops out 12 feet above the crash pads at Austin Rock Gym in Austin, Texas. Five hundred miles from the real thing, Posson has this faux Feather wired. The simulated rock route, which debuted four years ago, gives him and other Austin climbers a taste of a natural rock icon without a plane ticket or a leg- numbing all-night drive. "The movement is definitely the same as the Feather," says Clayton Reagan, an Austin-based climber who has done the real Hueco problem climb many times. The rock gym version, he adds, "is easier, but it's still difficult." A climbing gym in Boulder, Colo., has taken rock simulation further afield. The Spot replicates the geology of famed climbing areas from Hueco to Yosemite to France's Fontainebleau. The gym lets climbers come out of the cold or finger- searing heat and enjoy ideal climbing conditions year-round. -
