Montana Families Speak Out – Child Protective Services Destroys Families Nationwide
May 16, 2010, KFBB5. The Fight For the Children, From the Families to the Department Charged With Keeping Them Safe. Montana families say the department may be doing more harm than good.
The website fightcps.com declares that Child Protective Services have devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years and outlines accounts from families across the nation of alleged mishandling of cases involving their children.
Here in Cascade County, some families say its time to put an end to the wrongdoing they have gone through as a result of Child and Family Services.
While at the same time, the department struggles to carry out their mission – what they call walking the fine line between keeping children safe and families strong.
Mike Dunnington Doug Laverdure… and Nicole Marks.
Their stories are different – yet somehow the same.
Everyday I think about her. Everyday. There is not a day that goes by, says Marks.
Its just crazy how they can just destroy somebody and just take everything that they love, comments Laverdure.
This is local in Montana but its happening all over the country, adds Dunnington.

Ventura County Railway – Engine #2
This is a better version of the earlier entry on the 262 Baldwin.
The picture at the beginning and at the end are from the Orange Empire Railway Museum. Please visit their website.
Here is their history of the Locomotive that was in my home town.

The Ventura County No. 2 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1922 as No. 107 for the Cascade Timber Company of Reliance, Washington. The engine was designed to burn coal, but as a logger she probably burned wood as well. Operations on the Cascade Timber 30-mile line ended in 1942.
The looming clouds of World War II increased the importance of the Naval Construction Battalion (Seabee) supply base at Port Hueneme, California, so the Ventura County Railway (which connected this base with the Southern Pacific at Oxnard) acquired additional locomotives. Renumbered as No. 2, the small 2-6-2 logger served impressively, helping to move war supplies needed for construction in the Pacific. She received some modifications, including a water-tank extension and reinforcement of the old arch-bar tender trucks.
After WWII, in 1947, the locomotive was sent to Southern Pacific’s Bayshore Shops near San Francisco and extensively rebuilt. Most noticeably, the worn-out wooden cab was replaced with a salvaged metal one. After additional war activity in the 1950’s and the emergence of diesels, the VC Railway disposed of its other steamers but stored VC2 serviceable. She saw occasional service thereafter in the late 50’s and early 60’s. She was steamed at Port Hueneme for the last time in February 1972, and was shipped on two flatcars to the Orange Empire Railway Museum in November 1973.
At the Museum, the locomotive was put back in service, pulling passenger trains for special events and excursions. In 1981, the tender was re-equipped with heavier arch-bar trucks, and its old wood underframe was rebuilt with steel beams. In 1995-96, the Museum’s Steam Crew performed an extensive inspection of the boiler shell, repairs to staybolts and rivets, manufacture of a new boiler jacket, refurbishment of the cab and external appliances, and a complete repaint job on the engine.

Summer Cascade Weeping River Birch In Bucks County
Call 215 651 8329 for Weeping Birches and other birch trees. We sell 1 to trialer loads of trees… Qty Pricing available. http://www.seedlingsrus.com http://www.digatree.com Soil Application – Some insecticides can be applied to the soil where they are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves. These systemic insecticides can work very well. The key to being successful with a soil application is applying the material very early in spring, before bud break. Later applications will not have time to be absorbed by the roots and transported into the developing leaves. In most cases, soil applications are best done by a professional tree care company.
Bole Painting – Some systemic insecticides can be applied directly to trees by branches. The insecticide is absorbed through the bark and transported into the leaves. The best time to apply this material would be just as leaf expansion begins in the spring. The technique is a very easy one for the homeowner; however, its success rate is not well documented.
Controlling Bronze Birch Borer
Following Steps 1-3 in this leaflet are the best course of action for preventing birch borer problems: (1) do not plant a birch tree if the site is not suitable for birch, (2) select a birch species or variety that is less susceptible to birch borer, and (3) maintain tree health through cultural practices. If your tree becomes infested with birch borer, you should first evaluate the extent of the infestation (Figure 6). If the tree is in either class 2 or 3, follow the treatments listed below. In most cases, both treatments will be necessary for a tree to fully recover. If the tree is in class 4 or 5, it will be very difficult to save and should be removed.
Treatment 1: Begin a regular schedule of deep, heavy watering as described under Step 3 in this leaflet.
Treatment 2: Insecticides can be applied to the bark of trees to prevent new attacks. Thorough coverage of branches and the main stem is required. This treatment will not kill insects already under the bark. However, it will help prevent new attacks. Therefore, insecticide applications for birch borer should be targeted only at birch trees in classes 2 and 3. Depending upon the insecticide, as many as three applications are generally required during the spring and summer months (mid-May, mid-June and mid-July). Local county extension agents should be able to provide more site-specific treatment dates.
