1/8/2024

Tim was anxious about this responsibility he was tasked with, but it was important to him, and he spent some time trying to focus but couldn’t seem to quiet his mind. His anxiety was racing, worse than normal, and he was trying to meditate off and on. Finding ways or excuses to distract himself.

Check in with Cudi, walk the dog, see who won AGT, wonder if Asa is winning his campaign, but any time he reached out it was brief and he was back to focusing on himself and his connection to his brother. Come 9pm he had finally calmed down and had spent enough time focusing his brain that it was quieter, and meditating was starting to work.

Shifting into wolf form and closing his eyes, Tim felt himself drifting. At some point during meditation he’d fallen asleep. And a dream began. It narrowed in on some woods. A very large man towing a myriad of weapons on his back, and holding a large chandelier like it was a torch. He was walking away from Tim’s point of view. And the perspective Tim had felt like he was being yanked along behind him. It was cold, snow covered the ground, and Tim could feel pain growing throughout his body.

Everything went black. Then when the images came back, he was in a room, dark damp and cold, and the most terrifying face loomed over him. The man with the weapons struck him hard, everything went black.

Tim shot awake. Mount Whitney. He didn’t entirely know how he knew, but that was where Jake was, and he looked at the clock. 4am. He needed to hurry. He shifted back to human and texted Joey, who didn’t answer immediately. He texted Newt, who responded quickly and appeared in his room only a few minutes later.

“I still can’t get ahold of Joey…” Tim chewed his cheek anxiously.

“I’ve already stopped by his place. He will meet us at the base of the mountain.”

They left together and when they arrived in the mountains of California, Joey was waiting, looking a bit tired but determined.

“Are you okay?” Tim asked him, concerned.

“Yes, what information do you have?” He was nursing a very mild hangover but he’d fought through worse, and on less sleep.

“I uh…I’m not sure, I can just sense it…” he inhaled deeply, closed his eyes and focused on changing back into a wolf, and he shifted quickly. “This way,” he barked as he ran up the hill and into the woods of the mountains. Newt and Joey followed, wand and sword at the ready respectively.

They approached the area where the cabin was and Tim slowed down, “We’re close…but there was a guard…I just, I don’t see him.”

“Was it a vampire or someone else?” He looked around and didn’t even see a cabin. “Are you sure this is right Tim?”

“Yes, it feels right but I don’t…see anything…and I’m honestly not sure…I don’t think he was a vampire, but he was deformed and huge and nothing but muscle…”

“Revelio” Newt spoke and suddenly the cabin materialized. Joey looked around and saw tracks leading to and from the cabin, both old and fresh. “I’ll stand guard, you and Newt go in and get him…” and Joey put his hand on his sword and gave a nod.

Newt hurried inside with Tim following. It was a very small cabin, basically a large room. There on the ground, skin and bone, bloodied and dirty, was the wolf, his brother. “Oh…no, is he…is he alive?” The room smelled like death.

Kneeling beside the wolf, Newt touched his chest and nodded, “He’s alive, but barely.” He pulled out the wand and broke the chains and lifted the dog into his suitcase and then came back out and followed Tim back outside.

“This feels too easy…” Tim spoke nervously.

“Yeah…”Joey narrowed his eyes. “But there’s no one here, they must not be expecting us to find this place…we should hurry.”

“Joey…he’s in bad shape.” Newt spoke. “I’m going in to help him, take my suitcase. We can go back to your place if you’d like.” And Joey nodded and Newt disappeared back inside the case as Joey and Tim made their way back down the mountain.

Post-AGT Appearance 1275: Dan Graca ESPN Radio ESPN NY 98.7 fm November 3

My agent would be flooded with requests about Bobby Knight but would decide to do only one segment, Friday night on ESPN NY 98.7 fm with Dan Graca. He is on from 7 to 9 pm eastern time and would talk to us early in the second hour.

Graca: Welcome back. I have a guest on the phone now as promised. This is Phil Cole and his team: Phillip and Cole's Variety Team. Phil, why don't you start by telling everyone who you are?

PBC: My name is Phillip Bradford Cole. In 2014 I went on America's Got Talent and on the fly created characters including Phillip, Brad, Ford and Cole, each representing part of my personality. Since then we've been trying to make a living in show business.

Graca: Present projects?

PBC: Oh, thank you. I have a movie out called Demon Dress. On November 15 we release a spoken word album with the best routines by our deceased member the Ranting Old Man. On January 12 we release our next movie: Toad woman of Tennessee.

Graca: Now, the reason you're joining me tonight is...

PBC: Oh, I thought you were going to tell us. Phillip here can probably do this best. Take it Phillip.

Phillip: Cough, cough, thank you. Some people think Bobby Knight makes me sick. He doesn't. Other people do...and...one of them...is a mystery.

Graca: So every time a...controversial person like Bobby Knight passes away you have to make a public statement telling us it's not him. Is that right?

Phillip: Yes.

Graca: So, what do you know about Bobby Knight?

Phillip: I know very little. Once in a while I walked in when Phil or someone was watching a college basketball game and I heard his name. Then once in a while I heard the news and someone said he threw a chair or hit someone cough cough...a maniac.

Graca: The type of person you guys don't like, right Phil?

PBC: Yes.

Graca: How much more do you know about him?

PBC: Well, I was a college basketball fan in the 70s, but I narrowed my focus to the pros. Until a little while ago I thought he coached Larry Bird.

Graca: No, he coached the Indiana Hoosiers. Bird went to Indiana State. Before that he coached Army.

Cole: Big fan a George Patton, I reckon.

PBC: That's Cole, from Tennessee.

Graca: Yes, Cole, now you had a theory about the NCAA tournaments, didn't you?

Cole: Yeah, well, y'all remember the winter of 2014-15 we had a lot a snow down south.

Graca: And not so much up north.

Cole: Nah, I reckon there was plenty up north as usual, but anyways I had an idea that them southern boys would all have sore backs on accounta it was the first time they had to shovel a lot since they got tall, so's every time a southern team played a northern team the northern team'd win on accounta they was used to shovellin' every year.

Graca: So that worked out.

Cole: Yeah, did pretty good.

Graca: So, do you have any theories about this year's tournaments.

Cole: No, but maybe I'll have one by March.

Graca: Well, you've been a great guest. Thanks for stopping by.

PBC: Any time.

Graca: We'll be right back with updates on tonight's games.

True to his word, Charmon holds her gently, hums an old Fae song, his deep voice almost lulling her to sleep. After a while, she tells him of the state of the castle, and he listens intently. In return, he tells her of the war he thinks is coming, and how, despite how much he longs to give her aid, he must protect his people first.

Snow understands, of course she does. After all, she has the same mindset.

“Where will you go? I am sure the false Queen will send her people after you. She might even come after you herself. I sense a dark wickedness in your castle, and I have a feeling it is her.”

A deep sigh resonates within her, but she responds with a sure answer, “There’s a village not far from here, my mother had allies there, gemstone miners. I will seek refuge there, and try to gain the people’s trust. There is power in numbers, in trust and kindness, and I will try my best to gain that from my people. It has been too long since I have personally seen them, and now I must prove myself to them.”

Charmon chuckles, hugs her tight to him. “Your heart is too big for your chest, Princess, but I truly wish you luck. If there is anyone to best the false Queen, it is you. I know it.”

She hopes he’s right.

Yorath House Artist Residency Blog 1: Yorath House Sleeps in Snow

Words by Adriana A. Davies, Jan 5, 2022 Artwork by Marlena Wyman Jan 5-15, 2022 Artists-in-Residence at Yorath House

I drove from my mid-1950s bungalow in Parkview downhill, down Buena Vista Road to the flat area that is Laurier Park (named for Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier). The temperature this morning was -31 degrees Celsius and at 8:45 am there were not many cars on the road and those that were, like mine, were being driven carefully because of the thick snow that covered everything. Edmonton is truly a winter wonderland at this time of year though the admiration at its beauty, after a cold spell of nearly a month, is wearing thin. I passed the back entrance to the Valley Zoo on the way down and I tried to identify the 1950s Modern Style homes that had not been renovated and upgraded to more modern house clones, and I was pleased that there were still a few.

I made several turns on the flat land next to the north bank of the North Saskatchewan River that comprises part of Laurier Park and saw a sign for Buena Vista Park. I made a turn and saw the house. It is an angular, wooden-sided structure designed by the prominent architectural firm of Rule, Wynn and Rule and built for businessman and manager of Northwestern Utilities, Dennis Kestell Yorath and his wife Margaret Elizabeth (Bette) Wilkin in 1949. It was built on a 12-acre lot gifted to the couple by Bette’s father, William Wilkin who was one of the developers of the Laurier Heights subdivision.

The area at the River’s edge was once known as Miners’ Flats both because of the panning for gold that occurred along the North Saskatchewan River banks but also because of the number of coal mines that stretched along both sides of the River, the largest number in the stretch from the High Level Bridge to Cloverbar. The coal, unlike that buried deep in the Rockies, was found close to the surface of the banks of the sedimentary channel carved over the centuries by the River on its way East to its drainage in Hudson’s Bay. In the first decades of the twentieth century, there would have been miners’ shacks and some small homestead structures in the area now encompassing Laurier and Buena Vista parks.

All that was to change in the late 1940s as a result of the post-war boom experienced by Edmonton and other Alberta communities. Almost 60 percent of the residences in the Laurier Heights subdivision were built in the years 1946 to 1960; the rest, in the period 1961 to 1970; thus, the neighbourhood was not part of the inner “circles” of historic Edmonton neighbourhoods including not only the City Centre communities but also Westmount, Glenora, the Groat Estates and Capitol Hill. Laurier was built as a part of the movement westward that included Crestwood, Parkview and Valleyview neighbourhoods.

Architectural drawing of Yorath House by Rule, Wynn & Rule, 1949. Yorath family collection.

Yorath House, when it was built, made a bold statement both in its design and materials used. It did not hearken back to the past and the Craftsman Style houses made of brick and wood, and the brick public and retail buildings of past generations with Tindall stone trim. It was unlike the small stuccoed houses built for working class families. The new business elite wanted houses that were more futuristic in design and that affirmed that this was not their parent’s house. They seemed to say, “Look at us; we are part of the new world of prosperity based on resource wealth.” Edmonton looked to Toronto and New York for design influences. Rule, Wynn and Rule represented that larger world of architecture. Some iconic buildings that they designed include Glenora School, the Petroleum Club (demolished), U of A Rutherford Library, Eastglen Composite High School, AGT Building, Northwestern Utilities Building (now Milner Building), William Shaw House (St. George’s Crescent) and Varscona Theatre (demolished).

It was the fitting house for a young couple (he was born in 1905 and she in 1912) with an established British lineage on both sides of their family trees. Christopher James Yorath, Dennis’ father, left the UK with his young family in 1913 to become the Commissioner of the City of Saskatoon and then moved on to Edmonton in January 1921 to head the public works department of the City of Edmonton and, subsequently, became City Commissioner. He then moved to Calgary and was instrumental in the creation of gas and utility companies. William Lewis Wilkin, Betty’s father, left the UK in 1892 on the White Star liner Teutonic and initially worked for his maternal uncle, Henry (Harry) Wilson, a Whyte Avenue merchant, before striking out on his own in various business ventures including mercantile and property development. Dennis followed in his Father’s footsteps becoming involved in the natural gas industry in Calgary and, later, various utility companies that were local, national and international.

What drew me to the art residency was not only because I knew Laurier Park well having taken my children and grandchildren there for many outings over a period of 40 years but also because I had done the biography of Christopher Yorath for the Dictionary of Canadian Biography (to be published online in 2022) and, in the course of the research, had met several family members. I felt that the residency would allow me not only to further explore the history of the family but also to pursue another love, nature poetry. It would also allow me to work with Marlena Wyman, visual artist and archivist, who has begun the residency by documenting the house using her urban sketching skills.

On this unusually cold winter morning, I was wrapped up in a down coat with a hood and wearing silk long johns under my slacks, and my face was covered with a Covid mask (great in cold weather). I drove the car very close to the house and parked next to a City of Edmonton white truck. The young man blowing the snow off the walks around the house helped me to carry in my boxes and bags with research materials, books, laptop and various edibles since I’ll be working at the house all day (except for occasional forays to the City of Edmonton and Provincial Archives) until March 2nd.

I am now seated in the designated artists’ studio in one of the bedrooms on the second floor. It overlooks the small, cleared parking lot – not that you would know that it served that function since everything is covered in snow and the house is surrounded by beautiful fir trees of various types and hardy deciduous trees.

The empty house is “literally” asleep in the snow. As a historian and preservationist of the cultural and built heritage, buildings and landscapes speak to me and, in the depth of the silence of winter in this fascinating house that happened.

I need to clarify that they do not speak in ghostly voices but rather through the knowledge of the history of the City of Edmonton and the geology, geography and natural history of this place that I’ve acquired over the years.

I had much internal knowledge to draw on. I was the Science Editor of The Canadian Encyclopedia from 1980 to 1984; Executive Director of the Alberta Museums Association from 1987 to 1999; and ED of the Heritage Community Foundation from fall 1999 to June 30, 2009. In this last position, I was the creator and Editor-in-Chief of the Alberta Online Encyclopedia (www.albertasource.ca). Over a period of 10 years, we developed 84 multimedia websites dealing with all aspects of the human and natural history of Alberta placed in national and international contexts. When the Foundation shut down in 2009, the Trustees gifted the Encyclopedia to the University of Alberta in perpetuity for the people of Alberta.

In the first hour-and-a-half that I have spent sitting in front of the picture window in the studio contemplating nature, I’ve only seen one hardy individual walking a dog. The house embraces me and I feel sheltered and warm. But I know that it is not the house that Dennis and Bette built.

It is a City of Edmonton-designated historic property, purchased from Bette’s estate in 1992. When it was acquired, Edmonton’s heritage and architectural communities had great expectations that it would be restored and interpreted. From the mid-1980s, the City was committed to a park’s development strategy that aimed to remove all structures that were part of the River Valley Parks system. This left the house in a state of limbo and, after years of disuse, it was a sad structure. When I walked past it over the next ten or so years, I couldn’t resist the temptation to look in the windows. I thought at some point it may have been used for offices. I discovered in the 2012 historic assessment that it was used only for police-training exercises.

There were some protests about the City’s “benign” neglect of the property. An article in The Edmonton Journal of July 4, 2001 titled “Smith wants proposal on Yorath house,” noted that the Mayor had visited the “abandoned house.” The unnamed writer noted: “Smith says the house is still a valuable asset, particularly when one considers the land value of the 4.5 acre property. ‘You couldn't put a value on this property now,’ says Smith. ‘The house, structurally, is okay. It could be used for some purpose, with some alterations and repairs.’ Smith says it's too soon to say what the property might be used for. Past suggestions include a tea house or a community hall. But city officials say the house may be too far gone to repair, and may have to be replaced with something new.” Nothing happened during Smith’s term as mayor nor during Stephen Mandel’s term (2004-2013).

I became engaged in the house personally when I met Elizabeth Yorath-Welsh, when I was commissioned by the Dictionary of Canadian Biography to do the entry for her grandfather in 2013. She shared with me a number of archival resources relating to the families and the house (one is a small original drawing of the house done by the architects). At the time, she mentioned that she, her sister Gillian and cousins were saddened at the deterioration of the house.

Its designation in 2015 as a City of Edmonton Historic Resource, and conversion to a multi-use facility to host weddings and other family events, as well as meetings and planning sessions, required that the structure meet all contemporary building codes. The inside was rebuilt with new systems including an elevator and an extension was added. A total of $5.7 million was spent (up from an original estimate of about $2 million). While on the outside with its wooden cladding it is still mostly the house that Rule, Wynn and Rule designed, inside there are only a few features of the original left.

At the entrance, there is the wonderful wooden door with side lights reminiscent of an earlier era with its wrought-iron fittings. There is a red-brick entryway.

Inside the house, a wooden staircase with the original wooden steps and risers leads upstairs to the bedroom level. The bannisters are not metal but rather long wooden panels interwoven in a checkerboard pattern.

The massive fieldstone fireplace acts as a wall dividing the living/dining areas. It also extends through the exterior wall onto the back porch and forms an outdoor grill/stove and oven. It is an impressive place to have hung Christmas stockings. I imagine cocktail parties in the 1950s attended by the power brokers of Edmonton and Alberta.

The old galley kitchen looking into the living room is now set up for caterers and the only remnants of the original are four cupboard doors with fittings resembling those on wooden Hoosier cabinets or old ice box refrigerators. These are mounted on what would have been a kitchen wall facing into the living/dining room.

In other parts of the house, the remains of red brick floor-to-ceiling chimneys, and chimney breasts can be found.

This was the era of “picture windows” and Yorath House has them in abundance; they bring the outdoors in and also frame different landscapes surrounding the house. There are also windows set high in the staircase walls that allow light to flood in. Even in mid-winter on a dull day, the house is alive with light. While there is no historic furniture of the era, throughout the house are hung works of Alberta artists of the period including Marion Nicoll and John Snow drawn from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection.

I am delighted that the house has been preserved and uses found for it but the purist in me wanted to walk into the perfectly-preserved period house that the City bought in 1992. In designation language, it was part of urban development associated with industry, in particular, the petroleum industry and the boom that occurred after the coming in of the Leduc #1 well in 1947 and the Redwater field shortly after.

Yorath House is part of that economic boom that made Alberta the powerhouse of the Canadian economy and spurred a massive wave of immigration to Alberta and Canada. Many of these immigrants from the UK and Eastern and Western Europe, were involved in resource industries and construction.

That era is at an end today, and the boom has become a mere echo. The Wilkin and Yorath families were part of booms and busts and left their mark on the province’s history.

In French museum studies, there is a term “objets phares” or “lighthouse objects.” This is used to describe artifacts and buildings that epitomize different points in history. I think that Yorath House is one of these iconic objects, looking forward and back in time.

“I think inheritance is quite distasteful.”

Not all kids of the rich and famous are living life like their celebrity parents. While these stars lead a lavish lifestyle, they also want to make sure that their children know the value of hard work. In fact, some celebs have decided that their children will not inherit any of their huge wealth when the time comes.

Instead, celebrities such as Daniel Craig and Gordon Ramsey have decided that most of their wealth will be distributed to more philanthropic causes, such as charities founded by them. And while some may disagree with their choice to leave their children to be their provider, it’s a decision these celebs are clinging to.

Know which celebs will not leave their children as a legacy…

1. Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig may be worth over $100 million, but he isn’t planning on leaving any of it to his kids. The actor shares a 2-year-old with his wife Rachel Weisz as well as 29-year-old Ella from his previous marriage to Fiona London. Daniel explained that he believed the inheritance to be “distasteful” and that he would give away his money instead.

“Isn’t there an old saying that if you die a rich man, you have failed? I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist] Given what would be about $11 billion in today’s money, that shows how rich he was because I’ll bet he kept some of it. But I don’t want to leave big bucks for the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful. My philosophy is to get rid of it or give it before it goes,” Daniels said UK’s Candice Magazine.

2. Elton John

Elton John wants to make sure his twin boys, Eliza and Zachary, are in a “strong financial position” in life, but doesn’t believe in giving kids the silver spoon. Instead, she and her husband, David Furnish, want to instill respect for both money and work.

Elton said, “Boys lead the most incredible lives, they’re not normal kids, and I’m not going to pretend they are. But you have to have some semblance of mediocrity, some respect for money, some respect for work.” ” Mirror.

David continued, “Warren Buffett, America’s third richest man, has a really good model that he leaves enough money for his kids to have a house, a car and all of their basic needs. And take care of them so they never need to worry.. But it’s not crazy, silly, unneeded money to buy a Picasso or a private jet. Anything beyond basic, they have to go out and earn it themselves. “

Gordon Ramsay is one of the most famous chefs in the world, having owned restaurants and numerous television programs around the world. But despite his millions, Gordon says he won’t leave any of it for his five kids, whom he seats in economy class when they’re traveling.

“It’s definitely not going to them. And it’s not in a mean way; it’s not to spoil them. The only thing I agree with Tana is she gets a flat 25% deposit, but Not on the whole flat. I’ve been super lucky with that career in America for the past 15 years,” Gordon told The Telegraph. Seriously, it’s earned me a fortune and I’ve been very lucky, so I respect whatever I get.”

4. Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher says he and his wife Mila Kunis do not plan to set up a trust or leave a legacy for their children, Wyatt and Dimitri. While they plan to leave their money on charity and other causes, Ashton says that he will invest in his children’s business if he presents a good business plan.

“I’m not setting up a trust for them. We’ll give our money to charity and various things. My kids are living a really privileged life, and they don’t even know it. And they will never know it. , because it’s the only one they’ll know… If my kids want to start a business, and they have a good business plan, I’ll invest in it but they’re not getting the confidence.” Ashton said on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

6. Simon Cowell

“I’m going to leave my money for someone. A charity, maybe – kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing from one generation to the next. Your legacy should be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity so that they may do good, and you have given them your time, and you have taught them what you know.” said Esquire UK.

I certainly don’t want to leave those trust funds with albatrosses around their necks. They have to work.
