The premiere screening of the one hour documentary Mystery of the Trees will be presented in the sanctuary of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Family, 200 Griffith Road, Saturday, February 7, at 7 p.m. with reception following.
This first-ever glimpse into a part of Native American culture that has been mostly hidden from public knowledge is presented by the Mountain Stewards, a non-profit organization located in Jasper, who produced the film. The narration and participation of telling this story by Native
American actor Wes Studi (Dancing with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, plus many other films) and interviews with tribal elders from the Cherokee, Muscogee-Creek, Comanche, Delaware, Ute, Osage, Quapaw and other tribes anchor the film
In a seven year journey, the Mountain Stewards, formed to build trails so that hikers could experience the beauty of the North Georgia mountains, moved from mere curiosity about oddly shaped trees they began to encounter to an in-depth research study of what many call Indian Marker Trees. In the best tradition of scientific exploration, probing the mystery first found in their own backyard raised many questions. As a result, in 2007, researchers from multiple states joined with the Mountain Stewards in exploring this fascinating but obscure story. As research continued, interviews with tribal elders provided glimpses into the understanding of the cultures which, after living close to nature for thousands of years, were almost destroyed.
The interviews with the elders not only resulted in a greater appreciation of the Indians use of trees but also instilled in the researchers a deeper respect for the spirituality and wisdom of those who were the first people on the land. It is hoped that the documentary will encourage the preservation of the story-telling trees as well as point the way to future areas of study about many other aspects of Indian culture that have been impacted.
The initial presentation of information on the Indian trees was offered in a book Mystery of the Trees published by the Mountain Stewards in December 2011 with a second printing in November 2012. The book offers an in-depth, world-wide look at the story of the trees. It can be purchased through the website at http://www.mysterytrees.org. Other information about the Mountain Stewards, a 501(c)(3) organization, can be found on its main web site, http://www.mountain stewards.org

Charles Townes, 99; Nobel winner pioneered laser technology

Charles Townes, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose discoveries in quantum electronics led to the laser technology used in fiber-optic communications, medicine and James Bond films, has died. He was 99.
He died on Tuesday on his way to the hospital, according to the website of the University of California at Berkeley, where Townes had worked for almost 50 years, most recently as professor emeritus.
Townes won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1964 for his discovery of the maser -- a device that creates a concentrated beam of microwave radiation -- a decade earlier. Soviet physicists Nicolay Basov and Aleksandr Prokhorov, who independently produced the same findings, shared the award. Townes later laid the theoretical foundations for the laser, originally put forth by Albert Einstein in 1917, based on the emission of light, instead of microwave radiation.
"He was one of the most important experimental physicists of the last century," Reinhard Genzel, a professor of physics at Berkeley, said of Townes, according to the article on the school's website. "His strength was his curiosity and his unshakable optimism, based on his deep Christian spirituality."
Citing a religious-like revelation, Townes said he was sitting on a park bench among blooming azaleas in Washington, D.C., in the spring of 1951 when it dawned on him how to create a beam of short-wavelength, high-frequency molecules, according to a 2014 article marking his birthday.
Laser is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Theodore Maiman is credited with operating the first laser device on May 16, 1960, at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California. In the decades that followed, the technology was used for everything from atomic clocks, corrective eye surgery, supermarket bar-code scanners, CD-ROMs and DVDs, to industrial cutting instruments and light shows at rock concerts.
It even had a prominent role in James Bond movies. In the 1964 film "Goldfinger," the main villain threatened to kill British secret agent 007 with an industrial laser device. Bond also escaped deadly beams in "Die Another Day" (2002), and his laser watch helped him out of tight situations in "Never Say Never Again" (1983) and "GoldenEye" (1995).
