The shoeboxes were distributed to be filled with toys, Hidden in Hidden school supplies, toothbrushes, wash cloths, etc. for a girl or a boy. By pick up time, which was the end of the 22nd Valley Lake of November, HVL residents had filled over 100 boxes (105 to be exact). That is triple what HVL DOUG GABBARD did last year.

  • PART 1A. 1949-1961 CHAPTER 1. Overcome with Yellowstone Fever
    1 PART 1A. 1949-1961 CHAPTER 1. Overcome with Yellowstone Fever; Preparation for a Career (1949-53) During my childhood and school years prior to college, I lived with my parents, George and Katherine, and my sister, Mary Joan (3 yrs younger), in Denver, Colorado. As a young boy, I had been to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP)(only a few hours drive from Denver) with my parents on a number of occasions. The area’s significance as a national park did not seem to be part of my parents' awareness, at least it never was expressed to me. My parents and grandparents all referred to such trips as going to "Estes," because the town of Estes Park was on the eastern border of the Park. Occasionally we went to Grand Lake, on the western border of the Park, where some relatives resided. My parents were largely urban-oriented people. Both had graduated from South High School in Denver, but the Depression precluded either from a university education. Immediately upon high school graduation (1929) my Dad went to work for the International Trust Company (a Denver bank) as a message runner. His father, Henry, was a teller at the same bank. My Dad's grandfather George Sr. had been a bank manager and the mayor in Idaho Springs, Colorado, where my Dad was born. Dad remained a bank employee until he retired in 1981. By that time, he was very upset by banking’s expansion into the stock market and other fields. He believed this was at the expense of traditional services to customers.

There is no other way to say it: It is virtually impossible to find another Scout resident camp which, for this same fee, provides anywhere as close to the balance of: a) an active Executive Board – and friends – who are pumping an additional $1million into the property over this past year; b) 3700+ acres of varied and carefully managed terrain which contains our own six mountain peaks, four swamps, three lakes, twelve miles of roadway, over twenty miles of hiking trails all which abuts something as beautiful as the pristine Belknap State Mountain Range in the gorgeous Lakes Region of New Hampshire; c) as qualified and committed a Staff to provide both Boy Scout and Venturing programs for eight solid program weeks each summer; d) as extensive and industry-leading an adult leader development program as can be found in the entire Northeast Region during a week of summer camp; e) a challenging program waiting for all age brackets of your Unit which always has new and rotating offerings so as to keep things fresh and new while also preserving that which you need and expect; f) a camp supported by as many dedicated and untiring volunteer committees who care for its tangible and ‘unseen’ needs without hesitation.

  • Hidden Valley New Birth of Freedom Council Boy Scouts of America
    HIDDEN VALLEY NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CAMP STAFF GUIDE HIDDEN VALLEY STAFF GUIDE A WELCOME FROM THE COUNCIL DIRECTOR OF CAMPING Welcome to the camp staff! For those of you who are new to camp staff life, what a satisfying, formative, meaningful experience awaits you! This year, we have assembled a very well-qualified, capable and committed group of Scouts, Scouters and others from across the New Birth of Freedom Council and beyond. Upon surveying this fine group of people, one should be strongly prejudiced to believe that Hidden Valley's summer camping season this year will be its best camping season ever. Last summer, our staff and allied volunteer Scouters provided excellent camping experiences. Many people remarked that last summer was our best camping season in many years. Our challenge as a staff this year is to provide a camping opportunity that even tops that. Excellence must continue to be our watchword, as we go about our duties. We have the responsibility of making the outdoor adventure The Scout Handbook promises come brilliantly alive to each boy who passes through the main entrance to the camp. If we can work together, sharing our ideas, dreams and concerns, frankly, honestly and promptly, we'll have a superlative summer, we'll meet the challenge, and the Scouts for whose benefit we were selected will grow by leaps and bounds in character, personal fitness and cooperative, participating citizenship. Whether this season will be your first or fiftieth year in Scouting, you are about to assume a job unlike any other.

  • 8 from Geographical Periphery to Conceptual Centre: the Travels of Ngagchang Shakya Zangpo and the Discovery of Hyolmo Identity
    Davide Torri 8 From Geographical Periphery to Conceptual Centre: The Travels of Ngagchang Shakya Zangpo and the Discovery of Hyolmo Identity This chapter will explore and analyze dynamics of cultural production in a particular context, the Helambu valley (Nepal). The valley is home to the Hyolmo, a Nepalese minority of Tibetan origin, whose culture seems to have been shaped by the particular agency, within a sacred geography (Yolmo Gangra), of a specific class of cultural agents, namely the so-called reincarnated lamas and treasure discoverers. One of them, in particular, could be considered the cultural hero par excellence of the Hyolmo due to his role in establishing and maintaining long lasting relationships between distant power places, and to his spiritual charisma. His legacy still lives on among the people of Helambu, and his person is still revered as the great master who opened the outer, inner, and secret doors of the Yolmo Gangra. The role of treasure discov- erers – or tertön (gter ston)1 – in the spread of Buddhism across the Himalayas is related to particular conceptions regarding the landscape and especially to the key-theme of the “hidden lands” or beyul (sbas yul). But the bonds linking a community to its territory are not simply an historical by-product. As in the case of the Hyolmo, the relationship between people, landscape, and memory is one of the main features of the identity-construction processes that constitute one of the most relevant elements of contemporary Nepalese politics. 1 Tibetan names and expressions are given in phonetic transcription, with a transliteration ac- cording to the Wylie system added in brackets after their first occurrence (or after a slash when entirely inside brackets).

This study explores the generic functions of such havens. As scholarly attention has mainly been towards the genre’s main themes of survival and death, paying close attention to the haven offers an important addition to previous research. Although not comprehensive as there is room for further explorations, the study claims that the haven in post-apocalyptic fiction serves at least three different and overlapping functions: as a focal point for the genre’s attempts to recover and represent a lost paradise, as a place for the exploration of tensions between mobility and immobility, and/or as a narrative endpoint for inquiries into spatiotemporal infinity and death.
