Jamison's vlog 3 - Jamison writes a new song - Duration: 6:27.
Happy Tuesday it has been a pretty chill week at school since um I vlogged last.
Eventful week last week lots of storms lots of excitement but apart from
that nothing, too much little bit assessment nothing drastic so nothing to
complain about and what can I say I think it's 29 days until graduation or
12 I think the math teach figured out for us today. It's not long but um I
thought today I would set myself a little challenge and I would attempt to
write a little bit of a song because I haven't written a song for a long time
now it's probably been almost nine months since I've pumped out a proper
one one that I actually like and I am play for others. So, I thought I'd get
myself a little bit of inspiration and I would show you guys what I do when I'm
writing these songs.
I am super duper lucky to have a lovely mentor called Phippsy
who lends me his guitars every couple months so he has a quite the collection and he
swaps them out whenever he thinks and I'm ready to try another sound and this
is the latest one. This is an ovation and it is a semi acoustic so it is
definitely a different sound it's more, got a lot of more grunt to it and I have
really been sticking up the treble on it opposed to having it perfectly balanced
because I I'm really enjoying that more steel kind of sound when I am personally
more of an acoustic person but I've been loving this it has a fiberglass back so
it is definitely a lot different and I'm gonna see um
if I can write a song on her today.
So when I write my songs I always have a
certain word that I base it around so for example my last song was based on
the word 'balance' which it's actually written I'm on a topic that I'm
personally really passionate about and maybe one time one day I'll go into that
but I'm today I heard the word 'isolated' about a day ago and I thought that's a
brilliant song, so I'm thinking that that may be what I tie and revolve today's around.
So I found something in my book which um I do not remember writing but I
only wrote a little chunk and seems to it doesn't make perfect sense that there
is a certain word in it that's actually popping out to me there's more than
'isolated' which means which does not surprise me whatsoever but I think I'm
gonna change it to 'crossroad' which is pretty relevant for me now obviously
coming to a crossroad in you know my education journey I suppose but um...
I dunno, maybe I'll write it so it can be taken from a sort of maybe a
relationship point of view but also like a life point of view.
okay it has been a fair while so bare with me I have completely changed what I
had done before so completely just required everything I have based it off
the word 'crossroad' and I think I have a rough verse and a pretty rough chorus
but I don't like to push it and I think I'll leave it here and I'll probably
pick at it over the next couple of days but I thought I would play for you what
I have so far. When I'm still writing a song I like to keep the guitar part
really simple because I'm usually concentrating on the lyrics because I've
quite often find that once I've written the lyrics I hardly changed them so I
like to perfect them first and then I go back and I will make it more intricate.
People change every day I've seen it first hand
Common occurence, the different show
different life stories I never knew
Constant fights,
we never grew.
Life is like an hourglass, and we've been turned around.
The longer we wait, the further our feet leave the ground.
It's time
I've come to a crossroad
It's time
I've come to a crossroad
That's all I have at the moment, it's nothing special and I'm definitely not
100% with it yet I have a fair thing there are a few things I want to change
yet but um I think that's all for today I'll keep you updated next couple weeks
to show you if I have changed anything but I hope you enjoy it and I will see
you all next week bye

DIC Benefits for Survivors of Veterans - Duration: 11:53.
Good afternoon, and welcome to our broadcast today.
My name is Cindy Speaker.
I have with me as my guest attorney Nathan Guin of Gardberg and Kemmerly Attorneys of
Law.
Nathan, how are you doing?
I'm doing very well, Cindy.
Thank you for having me.
I appreciate you having me on.
Always a pleasure.
Appreciate that.
I know you have some good information for us about veterans today, and our topic is
DIC benefits, so why don't you start off by telling us what DIC benefits are relative
to veterans?
DIC benefits are actually not benefits for veterans at all.
They're benefits for survivors of veterans.
If you're a qualified surviving spouse and, in some cases but much more rare cases, if
you have a qualified surviving child or surviving parent in even more rare circumstances, they
may be entitled to benefits after the veteran's passing if that veteran had a service connected
cause of death or if they had a total rating for a period of 10 years prior to their passing,
then they'd be presumed to have a service connected cause of death.
These are benefits that can be given to the widows or widowers and survivors of veterans,
and for additional compensation to help them out after the veteran's passed away.
Okay, and you said to the widows and survivors.
Do the benefits extend to children?
Who is exactly eligible for these?
In rare cases they extend to children, and then sometimes parents, but they're very rare
cases where a child would be a surviving child.
For instance, if there's a child who became handicapped and he was totally disabled before
they became the age of 18, then that could be a surviving child that'll qualify for DIC
benefits, but the majority of the people you're going to see are widows or widowers.
Primarily widows, really, who have had their spouse pass away.
A lot of times now with the Vietnam era veterans, it could be from a heart condition, it could
be secondary to agent orange exposure, or just really any number of different things,
but that's one of the more prominent ones we see.
If that is listed as the primary or the contributory cause of death and it's a service connected
disability, then you can apply for DIC benefits.
Only, there's a few exceptions.
There are a few rules that surviving spouses have to, a few requirements they have to meet.
They have to be married for at least a year prior to the veteran's death, so if it's a
month or two before, sometimes they'll make an exception, but generally it's a one year
rule.
You have to be living together, you have to have continuous cohabitation, as they say,
so you have to be living with each other.
It also most notably is if you remarry after your husband or your wife passes away, then
that extinguishes your ability to receive DIC benefits.
In that regard it's, I guess alimony from how I understand it.
If you get remarried, then the alimony stops.
If you get remarried, the DIC benefits, you would no longer be eligible for those.
Okay.
Okay, so it would stop immediately if you remarry.
Well, you have to notify them of your remarriage, and then, yeah.
Otherwise, you'd get into an overpayment situation, so yes.
You want to notify them so that it does stop immediately, so they don't come looking for
money that they paid you by accident.
Right, right.
It's hard to pay it back, so don't want to get it and, like you said, you don't want
to get into that situation.
Absolutely, yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
When should the person, when should the widow apply for benefits?
The best thing to do, really, you can apply at any time.
There's no time limit in terms of ... There's no expiration date where if it's two years
after, year after, what have you, that you can't apply.
You can apply at any time for the DIC benefits.
Now, to maximize your benefit, the benefit to the widow or widower, if you do apply within
one year of the veteran's death, then you will get an effective date, which is the first
day of the month following their death.
If they passed away, let's say in April 15th, and you apply within the year and you are
granted, then your effective date for the payment would be May of that same year, so
it'd be the month following.
The earlier that you apply for it and, I know it's easy, probably for when you get everyone's
affairs in order, a lot of times things go by the wayside, but if you do get it done
within a year, then you're going to be helping yourself out in terms of maximizing your benefits
through VA.
Okay.
What if it's beyond that one year?
If it's beyond that one year, then it'll just be, the application at that point.
[crosstalk 00:04:51] Under VA laws, yeah, well it may be a couple months.
Let's say it takes four or five months to process the processing, then that could be
a few months of back pay, but it wouldn't go back to the day of death of the veteran.
It would be limited to whenever your claim is put in.
Okay.
Tell us about the appeal's process.
The same as most appeals process for disability?
Yeah, that's the great thing about it.
DIC is the same as any other, really as any other VA disability benefit or any other claims.
If you put in your claim and, if you're familiar with the appeals process from when your husband
or wife was alive before their passing, when they dealt with VA stuff, if you're familiar
with that then you'll be familiar with the appeals process going forward with DIC benefits.
It's all exactly the same forms, the same process, so it's nothing that's unfamiliar.
The only thing that's different would be the application you'd have to submit is a different
form.
The typical applications, but everything else would be the same.
Nathan, you help veterans with these types of things, so how can someone reach out to
you if they would like some assistance?
They can either give us a call at 251-343-1111, or they can go to www.GardbergLaw.com.
That's G-A-R-D-B-E-R-G Law.com.
There's a contact us tab there.
They can send us an email with their questions or concerns, and we'll be able to get back
to them and help them in any way that we can.
That's great.
We often, before we go here, we often talk about the fact that so much of this is so
complex that I can't help but think that it's just, this is not common knowledge to a veteran.
It just seems like it makes sense to reach out to an attorney for advice on these types
of things.
They may not even know about benefits that they could possibly be due.
Do you find that to be the case?
Absolutely.
Well, you know, that is the case sometimes even with typical disability benefits.
A lot of times veterans are unaware of the benefits they can apply for, and especially
yeah, they may even know about disability benefits, but a lot of people don't know about
DIC benefits and aren't really familiar with it, so hopefully this recording will find
a lot of people who need the information who would be able to reach out and get the right
information now, because it's definitely a program that I think is underutilized, and
definitely not known about enough among the community that needs to know about it.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're a veteran and you're watching today, I really think it makes sense.
Give Nathan a call, find out what benefits you may potentially have coming to you, because
there may be things that you don't know about, and I believe if they reach out to you, Nathan,
there's no actual upfront costs.
Is that correct?
No, there's no upfront costs, really.
For the whole thing, it's all on contingency fees, which is just a really fancy way of
saying if you don't win then we don't win.
You don't owe us anything, all of our payment comes from VA.
If we win then we get something, if we don't then it's nothing out of your pocket.
No harm, no foul.
Yeah, yeah.
I know that you guys are absolutely committed to helping veterans.
I just want to say a second about some of the charity events, some of the causes you
support.
I know you're big on awareness for PTSD for veterans, curbing PTSD, suicide, helping some
of these vets to come home and have so many wounds that are not always just physical.
Absolutely, yeah, and we're actually, we're teaming up with a great organization that's
called Fight Oar Die, O-A-R.
It's a team of all veterans, all Americans that are actually going to be rowing across
the Atlantic to help raise awareness for PTSD and suicide in veterans, and hoping to get
some good information out there, and hopefully getting the awareness out there so that veterans
stop feeling like that's the only way out, and that that's their only option.
Hopefully getting them the help that they need, and letting them know really that mental
health is important, and that it's nothing to be ashamed of to need help for, and that's
really what we're trying to do here, and what they're trying to do with Fight Oar Die.
Yeah, they're really trying to raise awareness for that, and it's a great, great organization.
Find them on Facebook, it's Fight Oar Die, O-A-R is the oar, since they're rowing across
the Atlantic.
They have a super cool boat, it's like ... Oh, that's neat.
With the shark mouth on it and everything, too.
It's really, really cool.
It's one of the project that we're really excited about, and we're really thrilled to
be affiliated with.
That's great.
And you have someone in your office that is related to one of these guys that's going
to do this, correct?
Yeah, about to say, yeah, our accountant is related to Bryant Knight, who really seems
to be the leader of the pack, is my understanding.
He's from Mobile, and they're down here training right now.
We're actually doing a meet and greet with them coming up pretty soon, so we're excited
about that.
We'll get some more information, get to see them train, and look at their digs on the
boat because they just got it down here from Colorado.
A lot of exciting stuff going on, and definitely very, very proud of him.
We are, too.
It's a really, really cool thing that they're doing.
That is cool.
They're actually going to be training in the Mobile area for a period of time?
Yeah, they're already down here.
They've been training separately where they've been living, and now they're down here, they're
rowing in the bay, and doing everything.
They're headquartered down here for I think about a month or so, maybe, and then of they
go.
They're in some intense training right now, and so we're happy to have them down here

I think that Ms. Dotty introduced them to gumbo, so we'll see how that went, but we're
very happy to have them down here.

The County Seat - Summit County Drug Court - Duration: 28:51.
As recent events have proven, there are a
hundred ways to end up addicted to opioids,
out of options and on the street. There are only
a few options to make your way back. Hello
again and welcome to The County Seat, I'm
Chad Booth while recent episodes of our show
have addressed the growing concern of Opioid
addiction and the ways we are combating it, we
have not recently looked at how to recover
from it. Today we shall take such a journey as
we explore one county's effort to give convicted
addicts their day in court. A special court. So
let's find out a bit about it right now in The
Basics.
Overcoming addiction can be tough, one of the
tools that local governments use to help people
overcome their addictions is Drug Court, What
is a Drug Court? Drug Court is a problem
solving court that provides an alternative
sentence to long term jail and/or prison time.
This alternative sentence includes long term
substance abuse treatment and supervision.
Drug Court takes a public health approach using
a team of people dedicated to the long term
recovery of each drug court participant. This
dedicated team includes mental health and
substance abuse professionals, law
enforcement, peer support, prosecution and
defense attorneys, social services, and a Judge.
Each Drug Court is state certified and each
member of the team attends multiple training
sessions each year.
Drug Courts in Utah have been around for over
20 years! Drug Court was created to combat
the rising number of drug related crimes in all
of our communities. In recent years arrests for
drug related crimes have more than doubled
and the same offenders are appearing in the
same court system over and over. The
traditional approach of jail time and heavy fines
was not addressing the problem of addiction,
which is often at the root of the criminal
behavior.
Drug Court works by recognizing that unless the
substance abuse ends the criminal behavior will
continue. Through frequent drug testing,
treatment, supervision, and weekly court dates
the drug court participant is given not only the
tools to succeed and maintain sobriety but also
the support to stop the criminal behavior and
stay sober.
While the team and the Court are with the
participant every step of the way, Drug Court is
still a voluntary program and takes a lot of
dedication and commitment on the part of the
participant for the program to work
successfully. Each Drug Court participant must
be dedicated to starting to live their life sober
and on the right side of the law. Now that you
have a basic understanding of what a Drug
Court is we will pick up the discussion how the
Drug Court System in Summit County works,
when we return. For the Summit County
Sheriff's Office I am Felicia Sotelo
Welcome back to The County Seat our
conversation today about drug court and
Summit county and a program that they have in
place up there that has a pretty good track
record of graduates joining us for the
conversation Councilmen Roger Armstrong
from the Summit County council and John Evan
who is a detective from the Summit County
Police Department thank you for joining us
today.
Thank you for having us.
out of this program compared to some of the
big cities have drug court programs 25
graduates a year may not seem like much how
is that an impact for Summit county.
I think it is big there has been a program for
many years that helped with the addiction
process and gave them the tools to stay sober
while they are out of the system and it
progresses as a drug court goes it teaches them
how to stay sober and avenues to go down if
they have a chance to relapse or thinking of
relapsing.
Is relapsing does that happen in the process of
the court?
We hope it does not but in the process of the
drug court it is built in because it does happen
usually the first couple of months the first 2 or 3
phases but the program is built around relapse
so it does not punish you per say it does not let
you go out in the community and give back to
the community.
But if you are constantly relapsing is there a
point where you are done with the program and
they refer you back to the court?
Of course if you constantly relapse you have
proven that you are using the tools that you
have been given and the drug court team will
decide whether they stay or go usually they try
not to do that but it has happened in the past
alternative to a sentence in a traditional jail or
incarceration environment.
I do not like to say alternative it's a voluntary
program the person volunteers for it we sit
down with them myself and Deputy Sotelo and
go over the outline of what drug court is about
with the defense attorney and the prosecutor
and they decide if they want to do it. It is 100%
volunteer we do not force it based upon the
client themselves.
So there is a component within this program
that the participants themselves have to come
up with 550 dollars a month to be in they pay to
be in the program. Does that skin in the game
make a difference?
Skin in the game makes a huge difference. If
you look at what we are trying to do is we are
trying to take some of the pressure off our jails
the jails are the worst place to try and
rehabilitate people that are addicted to drugs or
alcohol so this is an opportunity for them to
take an opportunity to take responsibility for
their own recovery as this is what this is all
about it takes financial pressure off our jail
system and it allows them to find a path to
success. You are asking about relapse any kind
of addiction recovery system relapse is part of
that there are people that may go through
programs 1 2 or 3 times and they relapse the 4th
time may be the time they finally recover and it
is all part of the process I think if you look at
what we are dealing with here if you want to
view it as a matter of personal responsibility
then I think it is a system that is largely set up to
fail. If your view is people should not be using
drugs and if they are we should lock them up
you are not giving the benefit to the community
of getting people out of the system and you are
not getting benefit to the offenders of giving
them an opportunity to get well. If you look at
it as a disease model which I think is the greater
trend these days this is an opportunity to treat
a disease we would not take somebody who
was failing to take their insulin or eating food
they should not eat if they have diabetes and
punish them for the we try to get them well a
that is how we approach that particular disease
this is just another form of disease and the jail
system is exactly the wrong place to treat the
disease it's better to treat it on the outside
through the programs that are designed to do
that.
But obviously if somebody is addicted and they
are involved in illicit drug activity that is against
the law the threat of it becomes a lever to try
and help them want to improve themselves so
the regular process does have a place in the
whole system does it not?
I think it does but I think if you look at from a
spectrum there is the person that is out there
who is dealing drugs they are using firearms in
the course of that particular business running
they are selling and using drugs and other illegal
things those people probably do not qualify for
this type of program they are automatically
disqualified but we live in a community where
we have world class athletes want to be world
class athletes and people who admire world
class athletes and want to recreate like they do
and you have tourists coming in for those
narrow terms that they are here to ski and hike
and play hard they get hurt they have surgeries
they are prescribed pain medications for those
surgeries and for some of those people those
pain medications are the route in do we punish
them when the pain medication and they have
become addicted the doctor no longer wants to
write a prescription for the pain meds they are
so addicted they have to get it someplace else
and they slide into heroin especially the lower
economic scale that cannot find another
substitute for that it may not have access to
health care to do that do we punish those
people or do we provide them with a road to
get out.
Keep in mind, this is not our particular program
may or may not be replicated other places. I
think part of what makes our program work are
the deputies we have working in it. John is
unbelievable, Felicia is unbelievable they go so
far above and beyond the simple requirements
of the job to assist folks and probably the best
way to characterize it to assist them in their
own recovery. It's not that there are allowing
them to not take responsibility but they are
monitoring them very closely so the
opportunities that they have to not complete it
are reduced substantially and the opportunities
to do well are increased. And it's remarkable
the relationships that these two form with
people that they are working with goes beyond
a law enforcement officer and offender. Its I
think a special relationship and I am not sure
that happens every place.
So what we do we have 68 people not in drug
court and 25 people in drug court we talk to
those people every day 7 days a week 365 days
a year? There is heavy accountability if they do
something we get them in front of the judge
quickly we can call a judge any time day or night
and they will answer and respond accordingly
but it's the accountability part they know we
are there and we are listening and we also
assist them in getting housing and relationships
with businesses up there in Park City that will
give anybody an interview that we send their
way if they have an opening. We have taken a
holistic approach to it to help them through the
system not getting into the vicious cycle of the
system.
Roger I want to address something that you
alluded to a bit earlier that some people see
this that drugs are bad and people should not
be there they should be punished. Was drug
court a hard sell from a policy and public official
standpoint?
Not for us and I think Summit council we tend
to be on that end of the political spectrum that
will actually consider programs that have an
opportunity to work we saw early on when they
implemented the drug court program we were
seeing successes and beyond and it just made
sense. The legislature opted the JRI initiative a
while back and that's unfunded mandate for
the counties so we do not have a bed to detox
people and a hospital in Summit county we
have had conversation with intermountain
about trying to come up with a bed we don't
have the ability to do that so they detox people
in jail again not such a great place to do it but as
we started and particular as we started to see
the success the first drug court graduation that I
went to was remarkable when you see
somebody who comes into a program at the
end of the line they are addicted to drugs and
probably committing crimes to support that
drug addiction and they are out of resources
suddenly you get them the choice is incarcerate
put them up for some period of time the
legislature changed some felonies to
misdemeanors so we get to keep those people
incarcerated in our jail rather than shipping
them off to the state prison so we can do that I
guess its money that you do not recoup in any
way its money that is supporting them for the
term that they are in jail where as they come
back in so it is lost money. Or you can spend
the money on trying to rehabilitate them and
bring them back as a productive person in
society and it's all part of the mental health
effort for us as well where we have to look at
this kind of illness as a mental illness that is the
problem.
do each of you think people should know that
we have not covered in this conversation. One
thing John that you would like people to know.
Addicts are people too. They put their pants on
the same way that we do, one leg at a time.
Give them a chance. I have seen them and I
have seen numerous people change their lives
just give them a chance.
Do they make good employees?
They make awesome employees.
More motivated than some of their
contemporaries.
When you have a jail sentence hanging over
your head you are very motivated.
Roger your last thoughts.
I think understanding we are in crisis in America
right now when it comes to addiction. We have
to find various ways to deal with that that are
probably nontraditional and it requires us to
change our thinking a little bit and viewing the
people that are addicted are human beings and
trying to find solution that work for society and
for those people dealing with addiction. This is
a very important component for doing it and I
admire John and Felicia and everybody else that
is willing to step and do the work on the ground
to make this happen. It takes a lot of resources
to make it work and I do believe that that is is
keeping people out of the system and providing
them with a way to recover that is more
appropriate for them than the traditional
incarceration system.
Gentlemen thank you for your time today it's
been informative and your passion and
commitment to this whole project and we will
be back and take a personal look at one of the
success stories of the Summit County program
when we return on the County Seat
Welcome back to The County Seat. We have
been looking at the war on Opioids and more
explicitly the battle for recovery. Putting people
behind bars proves to not be as effective as
putting people into a program, monitored by
the court. While as we have learned it is not
instantly a success and it has not worked for
everyone. When it does work, it is a game
changer and a life saver as we find out this week
"On the Ground"
My Name is Katie, I am a mom of three, Ethan
Abbi and Anni. I was put on pain pills when I
was 12 years old. We found out we had no
cartilage in my knees, I went on to upper
narcotics because I couldn't have surgery until,
when I was 23 My Doctor put me on Oxycodone
30's after that is when I lost control. I started
abusing my pain pills, and then I ended up
selling my pain pills for Heroine because its
cheaper,
When we lived in the little white house we had
a little upstairs and every time we got home I
would come straight there and come straight
upstairs, I would have the girls come up with
me and keep them there and keep them away
from them because they were always in the
bedroom doing stuff
I've always had my brother to be there and
watch me and play with me to keep me
occupied from my mom. I really didn't like it.
I ended up losing the house, the kids,
everything. So my sister set me up she called a
few of the cops that we know in town so they
were sitting around town when I pulled into
town and I went to jail, and it took her almost a
year to tell me it was her that turned me in and
she was afraid that I would be mad at her I told
her I wasn't mad she saved my life.
I was offered a program called drug court and I
wanted to take it I wanted help. At first it was a
really hard process I didn't get to see my kids
much I was always at work or at drug court, but
as it progressed it got easier. Its helped me
learn how to live life in society again, I have
been at my job for almost three years which is
something new for me. I jumped around, we
have been in the same house for two years , we
went house to house we have a very stable
happy life, a lot of it is because of the program I
went through and drug court and learn how to
live life that way and how to stay sober without
using
My mom is there for us twenty-four seven.
Even If she is at work she's still here for us she
helps us with our homework she makes us clean
our bedroom which is awesome because its
clean
Now I can stay caught up on my homework, if I
need help I can just ask her if I need anything
like that she will help me,
I would say For my family because we can only
go up, just moving forward in life in a good
positive way, I am just excited that I am here to
see them grow to watch them succeed help
them succeed and teach them to be the best
that they can be,
My advice for families, as hard as it is to think
that your family member is going to turn on you
the best thing you can do to help your family is
call the cops and turn them in so they can get
the help, because if you don't get the help you
will die.
Katie shared with us that she never wanted to
be a drug user, she was never seeking a thrill,
she is one of the many who just slipped off the
edge of a medical regimen and couldn't get
back on the path. I will be right back with some
closing thoughts.
Welcome back to The County Seat. I think that
Katie's comment about never wanting to be a
drug user or thinking that she had become an
addict until it overtook her life is very telling,
and I am afraid not too uncommon. I have had
lengthy conversations with my sister in law who
lives in rural Illinois and is a pharmacist for a
small rural hospital. She has seen the
devastation caused by this epidemic with a
sharp increase in overdose deaths coming out
of communities with populations as small as
800 people, where everyone knows everyone
and most people, even the kids show up in
church every week. These are the kids who
have been captain of the football team, worked
along side dad on the farm bailing hay or
stacking bags of corn or soybeans. It's the mom
who twisted an ankle going into the root cellar,
or grandpa who pinched a nerve and got
treated for pain. These are all people who get
hurt and get a prescription and can never get
off. In most cases, the signs of addiction are
there. Someone outside the sphere of
addiction almost always knows that they are
hooked, especially when the OxyContin has
turned to heroin and an honest person has to
turn to crime to support the habit. Someone
usually knows it, and as Katie pointed out, in her
case, it was her sister who turned her in to the
police anonymously.
The moral to Katie's story is that she would
probably be dead and her kids would be left
behind if she had not gotten caught. What
seemed to be the act of a traitor, in reality was
the act of a savior. And that is the message to
take away from all of this. You see, from my
perspective, people who are strongly addicted
can only dig themselves in deeper, they can't
dig their way out and they don't want to grab
that hand of help until they are off the drug. So
someone has to force them off the drug. Often
the only thing to do is to make that call to get
them into the system and get them off the
street, and in to treatment. Like Katie, more
often than not, at the sober end of the tunnel,
they are grateful for being turned in.
It hit particularly close to home two years ago
when my nephew, who had battled such an
addiction, found himself stuck in a corn field in
his car, high at the time and in desperation took
his own life. I can't begin to tell you how
devastating that loss has been on a close-knit
rural family. And the hard part is, there was
probably someone who knew.
I hope you will take the time to share this half
hour with a friend, or your family.
We'll see you next week ON the County Seat.

Amazing Personal Vows | Big Sur California Destination Wedding Video - Duration: 5:28.
[Ocean waves, bird churping]
let me start with an origin story
At U Chicago there's this tradition where in the dead of winter all the
students would get up before the Sun rises and we would essentially do yoga
and Sun Salutations together for an hour to welcome the sunrise this tradition
was called Kuviasungnerk/Kangeiko so Kuviasungnerk means happiness
Kangeiko means winter training and this tradition is really when Richard and
Cheramie first started really hanging out and it was also always kind of
surprising for us as you all know Richard loves getting up early but hates
these kinds of events and Cheramie on the other hand she loves these kinds of
events but hates getting up early so somehow we got both of them to go and
here we are today
welcome family and friends to the union of Richard and Cheramie
Cheramie told me
she was going to bed early so that she could watch the sunrise confused
I asked why are you watching the sunrise and Cheramie explained that Richard
suggested that it would be fun to do
I can't believe we're finally here it
seems like it was only yesterday that we were running by Lake Michigan in the
mists of Chicago winters at one morning and I refused to hold your hands
Cheramie looking back to the day we met it should have been obvious we would stand here
today we voluntarily got up before sunrise in the dead of winter to run in
the icy Chicago morning that's pretty unlike us we kept doing
this just the two of us by the lake watching the Sun rise as well this was
because you were smitten by me even if you did not know it at the time and that's
why you didn't hold my hand but I knew the last few years with you have been
the happiest of my life
[Speaking Cantonese]
everyday you're the one I can't wait to tell everything to how I'm going to figure out navigation for the
robot I'm building or a funny dream I had because I feel like when I share my
life with you it takes on new meaning this is how I know you are my best
friend the person I want to walk the rest of my life with because I couldn't
imagine a life richer with me than one by your side
you make me so happy all
the time so I promise to be there in the good times and the bad and I promise to
trust and value your opinion except for your taste in dessert sorbate
is always the wrong answer when there's chocolate cake I promise to not take us
for granted and to always invest in us above all else I love you always and in
all ways I can't wait to spend our lives together you've become my best friend
and the love of my life they say that a successful marriage
requires falling in love many times always with the same person and that's
what I've done over and over in the past seven years with you
if you will be my wife I promise to never block your settlements in settlers
and I promise to love and cherish you
forever but you already knew that
[crowd cheering]
[crowd mingling, wind blowing, ocean noises]
so it's by no means an exaggeration for me to say that you're my favorite couple
out of all my friends you both love and respect each other
150 percent when you're both an inspiration to everyone around you
I'm so happy to be here today to share this special day with you
and finally witness you tie the not of love here's to wishing you a lifetime of love
and happiness together

There is a 14 km walking trail River flowing only from Lake Towada
It's easy to stroll on a nearly flat road with a height difference of 200 meters
Here, flowing "water" "Rich forest" from which the water flows
"Rock" that changes its flow And moss, insects, animals living in that rock
There is a circulation system of very high purity
In this place where Taro Okamoto's posthumous work remains came for purpose
I felt more impression than that
This space where the senses respond sensitively
We took a walk through the "middle basin" once again in the rain the following morning
Every scenery has "moss"
These small greens draw delicate green landscapes
About 300 kinds inhabit here
The fallen trees are in their state as long as they do not block the way
And it rot, and will wither
It becomes a residence of new creatures there
It is repeatedly connected
The tree that fell on the surface of the water
