Hey there,

(I'm Bozo - from the PFH3 in Augusta, GA - pfh3.org)

This is an email I sent to the mayor of New Haven, CT and the editor of
the local newspaper there. Please forward this to everyone you know.  If
everyone (at least in the hash) were to send a brief email saying that
the hashers in New Haven do not deserve to be arrested, it may do some
good...and it may very well be important.  I have included the email
links to the mayor and to the editor of the newpaper at the end.  Let's
fill up their inbox with emails opposing their arrest.
There is also an online petition to sign at
http://www.petitiononline.com/HareHelp/  Their court date is said to be
Friday, so the quickness is the key.

(I have included an easier to read Microsoft Word file of the following
text) -

August 27, 2007

To the Mayor and the People of New Haven, Connecticut,
And to the People of the United States in General,

	 The arrest of Daniel and Dorothee Salchow, the two hashers in
New Haven, CT on Saturday, August 25 is simply unjust and the result of
a severe misunderstanding - and for whatever reason, be it that the word
"hash" has been stigmatized or that white powder is used to mark a
trail, it must be considered that they are the devices of a well
established tradition.
	 The Hash House Harriers is a loosely associated organization
with chapters in virtually every city in the United States and around
the world.  Started in 1938 in Malaysia by British officers, the world
has known "hashing" for seventy years and has grown increasingly popular
in the last forty years.  There are manifold reasons for its popularity,
but not among them is any motivation toward criminal behavior.  Hashing
is by its very nature challenging, inventive, and industrious, even as
it sets itself firmly outside of the realm of religion or politics.  It
is a social organization which has evolved to offer (primarily) fitness
and exercise in a challenging atmosphere, in the form of cross-country
running, and to promote a healthy sense of humor and friendship, through
social events and gatherings (at which the group runs a pre-determined
course) and through providing an atmosphere in which parodies might be
celebrated along with blue-collar humor.  The group maintains a
fellowship and mirth along the trail and often award themselves a beer
for a trail successfully negotiated, as has tradition to do so since the
sport's inception.
	 By and large, a "hasher" is college educated, socially and
culturally informed, employed and productive in society, and highly
patriotic, with a significantly large number of hashers actively
employed by the U.S. Armed Forces.  There are family-friendly hashes,
there are hashes of a more adult nature, and there are hashes that cater
to a variety of other social cliques.  There are hashes for runners, for
walkers, for bikers, kayakers, and the list goes on.
	 The word "hash" in the name "Hash House Harriers" and its
subsequent formation into virtually all parts of speech, (ie, a hash,
the hash, hasher (n.), to hash, hashing (v.), etc.) are taken from the
place where the first occasion ended: the hash house, which was British
slang similar to 'grub-house,' or a (familiar) place to eat. It should
be strongly noted that it refers neither to the hemp-based drug nor to
the particular pork-based dish.
	 It is a sport in which a leader sets out in advance of other
runners to mark a trail for everyone to follow.  Flour is used to mark
trail, and there are a variety of symbols on trail used to indicate
direction.  The leader, "the hare" uses flour to "lay trail" and the
other runners, "the hounds" follow.  The activity itself is based on a
British children's game of pursuing chase along a trail which was marked
with shreds of paper, as was the past time of the sport's creators.
After considering that using shreds of paper to mark a trail was
tantamount to littering, flour was chosen to mark a trail because it is
inexpensive, easily washed away with wind and rain and biodegradable.

	 In well over fifty years of marking very conspicuous trails with
flour in virtually every city in the world almost weekly, the response
in New Haven, Connecticut this week is curiously troubling.
	 Perhaps, something other than flour could have been used with
less contrast, like cornmeal, or coarser grain, like salt, but because
flour has traditionally been so widely used, it was used, and most
likely without the consideration that someone would mistake it for a
dangerous substance.  Daniel Salchow and his sister Dorothee proceeded
as thousands of others have thousands of times.
	 The outcome of this incident and the fate of Mr. And Mrs.
Salchow will establish a precedent (of some sort), however
unintentional.  What it will ultimately mean is that it will either be
easier to arrest the next hasher for laying trail, and with less
incident, or will be much less likely for the next hasher to be arrested
for laying trail.
	 This is also a wake-up call to America to ponder how people can
become so collectively paranoid that we strip away our own freedoms for
an empty guarantee of safety; that we can succumb to the paranoid and
sometimes irrational fears of a small group of uninformed people, so
that they can go home and curl up with their pillow of indolence, under
their blanket of ignorance, in their brand new bed from IKEA, on a
mattress guaranteed never to fail, safely tucked away from any
responsibility to a world they fear; that we allow the timid and the
trepid to sound the alarm to danger.
	 I'm not sure of the cost of a five pound bag of anthrax or any
other type of poison, but I'd bet it's not cheap.  And not to diminish
any very legitimate concern about possible terrorist activity, but the
idea that a couple of healthy and happy runners jogging around town,
scooping anthrax out of a bag with their hands and drawing symbols like
circles and arrows with it on the ground, is absolutely ludicrous.

	 And it is a sad day in America when a person can be arrested for
"hashing."

	 At best, it was a bad idea for the Salchows to lay trail in
IKEA's parking lot, and at worst, the complainers are guilty of sounding
a false alarm.  Likewise, the need for a bioterrorist response team was
at best an over-reaction, and at worst - ridiculous.  It is the
equivalent of a 'knee-jerk' reaction, that out of irrational fears,
creates the likelihood for one to smite one's own face.  And if anyone
should be held monetarily responsible, it should be the city, or
community as a whole, if not the paranoid few who sounded the false
alarm.

	 The Salchows are accused of a felony crime: first-degree breach
of the peace.  After having read the law, it is not rational for them to
be charged, nor is it just - for there was no crime.

	 Connecticut law states:

Sec. 5. (NEW) (a) A person is guilty of breach of the peace in the first
degree when, with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or
recklessly creating a risk thereof, such person places a nonfunctional
imitation of an explosive or incendiary device or an imitation of a
hazardous substance in a public place or in a place or manner likely to
be discovered by another person.
(b) For the purposes of this section: (1) "Hazardous substance" means
any physical, chemical, biological or radiological substance or matter
which, because of its quantity, concentration or physical, chemical or
infectious characteristics, may cause or significantly contribute to an
increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or
incapacitating reversible illness, or pose a substantial present or
potential hazard to human health, and (2) "public place" means any area
that is used or held out for use by the public whether owned or operated
by public or private interests.
(c) Breach of the peace in the first degree is a class D felony. Sec. 6.
Section 53a-181 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is
substituted in lieu thereof:
(a) A person is guilty of breach of the peace in the second degree when,
with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly
creating a risk thereof, [he] such person: (1) Engages in fighting or in
violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior in a public place; or (2)
assaults or strikes another; or (3) threatens to commit any crime
against another person or [his] such other person's property; or (4)
publicly exhibits, distributes, posts up or advertises any offensive,
indecent or abusive matter concerning any person; or (5) in a public
place, uses abusive or obscene language or makes an obscene gesture; or
(6) creates a public and hazardous or physically offensive condition by
any act which [he] such person is not licensed or privileged to do. [;
or (7) places a nonfunctional imitation of an explosive or incendiary
device in a public place.] For purposes of this section, "public place"
means any area that is used or held out for use by the public whether
owned or operated by public or private interests.
(b) Breach of the peace in the second degree is a class B misdemeanor.
[, except that violation of subdivision (7) of subsection (a) of this
section is a class A misdemeanor.] Sec. 7. (NEW) (a) A person is guilty
of threatening in the first degree when such person (1) threatens to
commit any crime of violence or any crime involving the use of a
hazardous substance with the intent to terrorize another person, to
cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly or facility of public
transportation or otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience, or
(2) threatens to commit such crime of violence or crime involving the
use of a hazardous substance in reckless disregard of the risk of
causing such terror, evacuation or inconvenience.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "hazardous substance" means any
physical, chemical, biological or radiological substance or matter
which, because of its quantity, concentration or physical, chemical or
infectious characteristics, may cause or significantly contribute to an
increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or
incapacitating reversible illness, or pose a substantial present or
potential hazard to human health.
(c) Threatening in the first degree is a class D felony.
Sec. 8. Section 53a-62 of the general statutes is repealed and the
following is substituted in lieu thereof:
(a) A person is guilty of threatening in the second degree when, [: (1)
By] by physical threat, [he] such person intentionally places or
attempts to place another person in fear of imminent serious physical
injury. [, or (2) he threatens to commit any crime of violence with the
intent to terrorize another, to cause evacuation of a building, place of
assembly , or facility of public transportation, or otherwise to cause
serious public inconvenience, or (3) he threatens to commit such crime
in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or
inconvenience.]
(b) Threatening in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.

	 If any crime had been committed, it would be a violation of
subdivision 7 of subsection A (a class A misdemeanor), and that would
only be if there was an establishment of intent to cause inconvenience,
annoyance or alarm, etc...  Mr. Salchow's return on a bike to explain
the problem and what the flour was for frees him from any such guilt.
	 The "hash" at large is, I am sure, willing to make the internal
changes necessary to ensure a greater harmony with the environment and
the public, so as not to create such controversy.  It is, however,
lamentable that it come as a result of this kind of over-reaction.
	 The incident in New Haven does offer deeper questions to
consider than whether an off-beat running club should be held
responsible for the fears of the public.  Does this incident reflect on
our government's ability to keep the public confident in their ability
to keep us free from the fear of terror, just because there are men in
white suits with test tubes who can effectively evacuate a store in
minutes - because they were unaware of a decades-old running group, with
thousands of members internationally, who use flour to mark the route of
their cross-country trek - when the real assurance would come from their
prior awareness of such a group or the flour before it was ever
"sprinkled" ?  Is it better to err on the side of caution?  Perhaps yes,
but if it be proven an error, then who's to blame for the effort?

	 I urge you to consider these questions.  In fact, email the
Mayor of New Haven, CT at MayorDeStefano@... and the editor
of the local newspaper, the New Haven Register, at jkram@...
and tell them what you think.  But, first and foremost, tell them that
Mr. and Mrs. Salchow do not deserve to be charged with any crime.

And Thank You Very Much For Your Time,
On-on,

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark
a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism
scare and now face a felony charge.

The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store
Thursday.

New Haven ophthalmologist Daniel Salchow, 36, and his sister, Dorothee, 31,
who is visiting from Hamburg, Germany, were both charged with first-degree
breach of peace, a felony.

The siblings set off the scare while organizing a run for a local chapter
of the Hash House Harriers, a worldwide group that bills itself as a
"drinking club with a running problem."

"Hares" are given the task of marking a trail to direct runners, throwing
in some dead ends and forks as challenges. On Thursday, the Salchows
decided to route runners through the massive IKEA parking lot.

Police fielded a call just before 5 p.m. that someone was sprinkling powder
on the ground. The store was evacuated and remained closed the rest of the
night. The incident prompted a massive response from police in New Haven
and surrounding towns.

Daniel Salchow biked back to IKEA when he heard there was a problem and
told officers the powder was just harmless flour, which he said he and his
sister have sprinkled everywhere from New York to California without
incident.

"Not in my wildest dreams did I ever anticipate anything like that," he
said.

Mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga said the city plans to seek restitution
from the Salchows, who are due in court Sept. 14.

"You see powder connected by arrows and chalk, you never know," she said.
"It could be a terrorist, it could be something more serious. We're
thankful it wasn't, but there were a lot of resources that went into
figuring that out."

Hi there

I forgot to mention in my post about Tuesday's hash that one of the reasons we chose Rookies is that they have Taco Tuesdays!  Create-your-own tacos are only $1.00 EACH!  Just Laura and I are planning on getting to Rookies at 6:30 or earlier to indulge in a pre-hash taco or two, and we invite you to join us for a cheap dinner.  Just remember that if you want tacos, give yourself time to eat them, because the hash leaves AT 7:30!!!!!

See y'all on Tues! 
Lick 'em

Also, are dogs ever allowed to come along?

Don't forget folks (especially you that let your dogs poop in the park last
weekend), this Saturday is our infamous Kilt Hash.  Wearing a kilt (I mean
skirt) is not manditory.  Kilts (I mean skirts) are basically a byproduct of the
Greek Toga.  The Romans took the toga to the Isles back in the day.  Back then
those islanders were either wearing skins, mud, or each other to keep warm.  Of
course then the Norsemen showed up and they fancied skirts also.  So they called
it a kilt cuz they kilt everyone that laughed at them wearing a skirt (I mean a
kilt).  If you show up Saturday, a few stouts will make it all clear.

Saturday 8/18
Slim's on 1st & Florida (We'll soon find out if its open by noon on Sat.)

  HI WANKERS!

  Just want to put a warning on this board because I'd hate to see
  anyone's vacation ruined like mine was. I went on a cruise and the
  first stop was Mexico. I was laying on a beach chair while the
  wonderful waiters were bringing me many MANY Coronas. I made the
  mistake of wearing make up that day so I was rubbing my eyes after I
  got out of the water. The next day my eyes were BRIGHT red. The
  bridge of my nose was so big I couldn't put my sunglasses on. My eyes
  were swollen shut. I had strange red marks on my legs, hands and
  stomach. Eventually these spots blistered and peeled. I was
  wearing sunblock. It was WAY worse than any sunburn I've ever had.
  The cruise doctor didn't know what it was. They gave me a few shots
  (the needle kind, not Tequila) and two types of pills and told me to
  stay out of the sun and don't drink. I was only on the second day of
  my cruise. DON'T DRINK!!?? The swelling went down in a couple days
  but I didn't go to any dinners and I had to hide under a hat and
  glasses the entire cruise. When I returned home 8 days later my eyes
  were still very red. I went to a dermatologist in Chicago and he
  IMMEDIATELY knew what it was. Phytophotodermatitis. Google it.
  Basically, anywhere the lime touched my skin I developed blisters. I
  was squeezing the limes and then rubbing the make up off my eyes,
  that's why my eyes were so bad. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it
  CAN happen to anyone. It took at least a month before the marks on my
  stomach and legs went away.

  Just wanted to put the word out there because it ruined my whole
  vacation. Needless to say, this time I'll be drinking my beer WITHOUT
  a lime.

a lime.

On On to IAH in THREE weeks!

Batteries Not Included
Chicago H3

Setting TOGA was so much fun, I've decided to see if setting a Kilt
hash would be just as much fun...

I'd also like to see if theres anyone out there who hasnt set
trail.. I'd prefer a virgin (wouldnt we all) or hasher returning
after an extended hiatus to join me in setting trail.

I'd also like to try & organize some sort of fest activities after
the hash, so let me know what your thoughts are on hashing a little
earlier in the day ? (( noonish then off to Irish Fest a couple
hours later ? ))

When: Aug 18th

Who: Cop-ya-later!! and ...

What time: ...

What to wear: ... kilts

Beer: in abundance (and probably a preponderance of something
dark...)

Cost: $11 ( There will be a ticket for Irish Fest on trail )

Did I mention: Beer ?  Yummy ! Tasty ! not completely Hash beer
BEER!!  ... and maybe some Scotch.


I'll post more details when us hares have worked them out...
If I get multiple responses for co-hares I'll draw from a hat.


Cop-ya-eventually,
Cop-you-Later!!

Hey Waukesha,

For those nothing particularly important going on the Sunday of
Labor Day Weekend (9/2), I'll be haring Chicago #1507, The 3rd
Annual Chicago Labor Day Hash at (where else) Party Central.

We have an afternoon hash (2pm start) and then a BBQ and drink
heckuva lotta beer. This tradition started in 2005 in the Big
Backyard at Party Central Classic and has now moved to the Skydeck.
Normally we hash on Monday nights this time of year but for Labor
Day (and Memorial Day too) we move the hash back to Sunday to give
folks Monday to recover.

This year's theme will be the "Party Central Circle Tour" and
feature beer checks at at least two other "Party Central's"
(legitimate franchise holders, not wannabees). Note: Party Central
Milwaukee unfortunately, due to length of trail implications, will
not be one of them.

As always, for anyone crazy enough to attempt this, crash space will
be available - I think I barely made it down the stairs safely after
Labor Day Hash 2006! This event has been a lot of fun for $10 plus
gas. Something to consider. Have a cool weekend!

Party on on,
It's Too Soft

p.s. 6th Anthrax will likely be Sat 12/15, the week after Pearl
Harbor - save the date!

Just a reminder that registration for Bungle in the Jungle will go up

Couldn't have asked for better weather for a hash, completely unlike
the last Full Moon I, Cop-you-later!!, set...I may have to taunt the
weather/god? more often.

There were hounds, already at the Colonel Hart (the start bar of
choice for Tosa hashes) when the hares,
Cop-ya-later!!
Just Domino
Just Molly

showed themselves...they asked me to put my pants back on after a
brief catching up we immediately went to chalk talk... The Hounds
C*ntanental Breakfast
Colon Delicious
Creamed in n Screamin'
Hand Solo
Just Casey
Just Dan
Just Liz
Last Hole
Oh My Dawg
Ol'limpdick
and
Sphincster Grease

Accompanied by several hash hound's hounds
Just Celis
Just Jessie
and
Just Qwest

The standard marks were discussed, the rarely used marks were
questioned, and the hash immediately descended into chaos and headed
out to trail...leaving the hares to sit around & finish off the
pitchers and whatever anybody left in their

The first leg of the trail had two superfluous water crossings,
while fun for the Hares, some Hounds decided to look for drier
trail, best guess is they went about a mile out of their way to keep
their feet dry (I mean, c'mon who wears sandals to a hash ?!?),
while one hasher, O'Limpdick, daringly anticipated the 2nd crossing
avoiding both, and the rest had much fun getting all wet (yes, thats
the first time in a long time THIS hare can say he got anyone
wet...much less 6 all at once).

First beer stop we stood around & wondered where our dry footed
wankers/wankettes were...we didn't go look for them since that
woulda taken us further from the beer...but we DID wonder.  When
they arrived, we all had our 3rd beer in celebration.

The 2nd third of the trail wound through suburban Tosa...noone can
accuse me of setting a death march since they had to cross Milwaukee
Ave.  4 or 5 times all within a half mile, and since they only had
to go up the hill behind the Pick N Save once, but come down it
twice...everyone knows going down is easier the 2nd time .  Those on
trail found the 2nd beer stop/on-in with little or no difficulty.

Circling up once we'd composed ourselves and corralled pups,
everyone said what a pleasant trail it was and how much they loved
the hares and all the short-cutters cried because they missed such a
wonderful trail.  (hey this is what you get for letting the hare
write this thing...).  We sang many songs and drank many down downs,
some of them justified.  Then we questioned the hares, Just Domino &
Just Molly so they could be named... the questioning was quick since
they were dogs (what ... you thought we actually asked em
questions ?? geesh, if yer a wankette, call me!! )... Just Molly
will forever more be known as The Waukesha Hasher ~ 'B-yatch!!' and
Just Domino as 'Bites Own Wanker OW!!'  or ( BOW OW!! )

The hash left in peace, and I hope the hash got a piece...

Later that night/morning, in true hasher style, BOW OW!! woke me up
at 4am to throw up over the side of the bed…and just like a newly
named hasher, he almost made it.

Cop-you-sooner or later,
Cop-ya-Later!!
