The community of East Elmhurst enjoys some of the best features of Queens living: tree-lined streets, excellent transportation, close proximity to Manhattan, two airports, Shea Stadium, and a branch of the Queens Library System.
The East Elmhurst community is a young and small community that was carved out off the Jackson Heights and Corona areas. One, two, and three family homes make up the architecture of the community. Some high rise apartments provide additional housing for a bursting community. At one time the area was mainly beach and recreational land space. The neighborhood of East Elmhurst has seen profound and rapid demographic changes over the years. The eastern Europeans who first settled in the area have since yielded to other populations including Italian, Greek, and Spanish-Americans, African Americans, and Haitians. More recent groups include Asians and Eastern Indians.
The East Elmhurst Branch opened for business in June of 1912 and was known as the Louona Park Library. Like many branches of the Queens Library system, the East Elmhurst Branch has claimed many different locations as its home over the years. Unlike the others, though, every time the branch changed its location, it also changed its name. It was renamed the Northern Boulevard Library when it moved to Northern Boulevard in May of 1927. In 1942 the library found a new home at 90th Street and Astoria Boulevard and brought with it the new but peculiar appellation of North Beach Library. The branch assumed its current name when a new city owned building was erected in 1972 at its present home at 95-06 Astoria Boulevard.
For many years, the East Elmhurst Branch was one of Queens Library's five Community Neighborhood Information Centers, offering referral services to people in need. This service was largely used by older adults who needed the aid of city agencies and community organizations, and young mothers who were seeking information on day care centers and schools. The branch continues to serve as a depository for the City's Department of Environmental Protection materials about the ongoing Flushing Bay project.
Over the years the East Elmhurst library has had the flavor of a "community center" which numerous community groups used as their monthly meeting place. Satisfying cultural needs goes hand-in-hand with fulfilling the informational needs of the branch's steady stream of small business owners, retailers, construction, airport workers, and students.
The East Elmhurst branch enjoys top ranking in sessions and attendance for its delivery of cultural, musical, and informational type programs. East Elmhurst is known for its large number of famous artists of all genres. An impressive number of branch programming originates from the community.
Among the many unique and outstanding programs and activities taking place at the East Elmhurst Library over the years, three memorable ones include: Former Mayor David Dinkins' use of the library for the filming of his last mayoral campaign commercial which included issuing to him a Queens library card; the celebration of the library's 100th anniversary in 1996; and the recipient of a Plaque for the New York Times' first Librarian Award in September, 2001.
A unique and successful feature of the East Elmhurst Community Library's services is its mission of "Keeping Jazz Alive in Louis Armstrong's Neighborhoods". A grant from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation Inc. makes it possible for Jazz artists, performers, and workshop presenters from throughout the Metropolitan area to help us accomplish our mission. The Louis Armstrong House is located in Corona, but is in walking distance to the East Elmhurst Community Library .

Virginia DREAM Act Dies in House
Supporters 'optimistic' about bill becoming law next year.
The Virginia DREAM Act — legislation that would have allowed children of illegal immigrants to receive in-state college tuition — has died in Richmond, but supporters are optimistic the bill will pass next year. "I was encouraged," said Del. Tom Rust, R-Herndon. "The bill has never gotten this far before. In fact, it's never gotten anywhere. I was encouraged by the response. It got a lot of support. I will be introducing it again next year, and I will be working on it between now and then." For the past seven years, similar legislation has died in a House subcommittee. This year, though, the measure enjoyed bipartisan, unanimous support on the subcommittee level, and it then passed the full House Education Committee with a 17-4 vote. It …

My Points | |
My Games |
Hi All,
Just started playing this game and think it is awesome. Just have a couple of questions.
Can anyone please help clarify for me the process of handover of a city after capturing an enemy stronghold?
Question 1: When a stronghold is destroyed and the defeated baron must give up one city of their choice what do they do if there is a noble in the city?
Must they:
Seems rules say nothing about this. As city has not really been defeated but merely given as a ransom.
Also is it possible to raze a city obtained in this way? As this would be my preference as it would often be difficult to defend such as city, so the reward would be very short term… unless near end of a round.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

It's been a while since I've played this game. The only reason I can think of that you would give up a city with a noble is it was your last city to give. I think I would play with the noble retreating. As for your second question, I would say you could definately raze it. Page 18 of the rule book states one can raze a city immediately after gaining control of it.
Glad you're enjoying the game. This is one of my favorites, just need my group to play it more!

The partnership would be the NWGHA's first major foray into a low-income housing tax-credit development. Applications for the tax credit projects are due to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs March 15, one week from this Friday.
NWGHA attorney Stewart Duggan was hesitant to recommend that the authority move forward with a Memorandum of Understanding with Bridgeland and RHA. He cited the lack of information regarding the Housing and Urban Development Department's new Rental Assistance Demonstration program.
The RAD program was conceived by HUD as a means to assist in the renovation of deteriorating public housing units across the nation. After the privately financed renovation, the entire Willingham Village complex would be designated as 100-percent Section 8 rental assistance housing. The owners would be eligible for rental subsidies from HUD that would be equal to approximately 70 percent of the renter's household income.
Willingham Village — off Division Street — is owned by the NWGHA, and last year it had a positive cash flow of approximately $740,000.
"Under the present structure that this developer is promoting, we would lose control; we would lose management," Duggan said.
Duggan said the authority would be getting a one-time developer's fee of between $700,000 and $800,000 which it could use for any purpose the authority wanted to going forward.
"I'm just not in a position to recommend that we go forward right now with these terms; ... here they won't even give us 51-percent majority interest," Duggan said.
NWGHA Executive Director Sandra Hudson said she would contact other
housing authorities that have gotten involved in tax-credit projects in the past to see how their deals compared to the Bridgeland/RHA proposal.
Hudson also told the NWGHA board of directors that she would contact other developers to determine if there might be enough interest to put together a last-minute proposal.
Twenty-five of the 176 units in Willingham Village have been completely renovated by the housing authority in the last couple of years.

I first discovered this fragrance when I was a teenager (1988). At first I fell in love with the cute little purple bottle, so I bought it. Little did I know I would enjoy the fragrance that was captured inside. I have for many years been trying to find Samba and now that I have I am very pleased. This cute bottle has a very memoriable scent to be released.

I found this perfume in Cuba in 1989 when I was in the Navy. I loved the bottle and the minute I tried it I fell in love with it. It's the only perfume I've worn since then.

Written by Salon Girl
I first experienced this fragrance 1988, a beautiful young lady walked by and the air was filled with a deliteful scent. I started wearing it even in the facial salon where I worked, and it was a scent that did not trigger alergies,instead my customers commented on the pleasent scent around me. It is a natuarl light fragrance, soft, slightly floral and warm but fresh. I love it,and so does my husband. I hope they start making it again.

Editors note: Dave Shampine retired this month after four decades at the Times. He hopes to contribute occasional Times Gone By columns in the future.
Some 100 Italian families most of them living in the flats off Arsenal Street, few of them speaking English wanted a pastor who shared their native tongue.
Ogdensburg Bishop Henry Gabriels had just the man.
A priest, recently turned 33 years old, was in for some disappointments when he arrived in Watertown in October 1913. The Rev. Claude Sechi, a native of Italy, had come to take up the bishops assignment.
The priest, who a year earlier had arrived in America, expected to find an established church, but what awaited him was an old wood-frame house that had been converted to a chapel St. Anthonys Chapel on Arsenal Street, named for a doctor of the Catholic Church who died in 1231 in Padua, Italy. There was no place for the priest to live, and his parish flock was a poor lot, hardly able to build a church, never mind support their priest.
Those humble beginnings are remembered this year as the seventh pastor, the Rev. Donald A. Robinson, and people of St. Anthonys Church look back to Father Sechis arrival and celebrate their parishs 100th anniversary.
Claude Sechi, born Sept. 11, 1880, in Sassarri on the island of Sardinia, was ordained Dec. 7, 1904, in his hometown church. The vocation was not really of his choosing, he revealed years later to Peter Cook, one of his altar boys at St. Anthonys.
He said he wanted to be a music teacher, Mr. Cook is quoted as saying in the Frank P. Augustine book La Bella America.
He loved music, but his parents got him to be, you know, religion.
He thought of coming to the United States after he was introduced to a priest from Benson Mines, the Rev. Onesime A. Boyer, who was in Rome doing archaeological studies. The visitor, of French Canadian background, was introduced to Father Sechi after asking at the University of Rome for instruction in the Italian language. Their four months of working together nurtured a friendship which continued after Father Boyer returned to Benson Mines.
During the summer of 1912, at Father Boyers urging, Father Sechi came to America accompanied by his sister, artist Francesca Pasella, and her husband, Flavio. They settled in New York City, where Mr. Pasella became a newspaperman and Father Sechi served in a city parish.
About midway into 1913, Bishop Gabriels, responding to a referral from Father Boyer, invited Father Sechi to come north. The priest agreed and made Benson Mines his first-month stay to visit his friend.
Eyes brimming with tears, he told (Peter Cook) how he cried upon seeing what was at Benson Mines, Mr. Augustine wrote. He said there was one Italian family there. That was probably the biggest shock in his life.
The family was that of Cataldo Morgia, a Watertown man working in a paper mill. Mr. Morgias family, Father Sechis first friends from the homeland, would eventually return to Watertown to become restaurateurs.
St. Anthonys actually traces its origin to 1903, when the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart purchased the house that would serve as a chapel. With that start, the missionaries set out to organize a parish for the Italian settlement. And it was that house that chapel that Father Sechi laid eyes upon when he arrived.
He had expected to find a church already built.
With his Watertown assignment, the newcomer priest with a limited English vocabulary was welcomed as a guest in the rectory of St. Patricks Churchs pastor, the Rev. Peter J. Devlin. The arrangement lasted perhaps a month, according to notes taken in a February 1945 interview by a Times reporter with Father Sechi.
The late Monsignor Anthony A. Milia, eventual St. Anthonys pastor, told Mr. Augustine that other priests in the area were good to the Italian priest, but Im sure that it was not as comfortable a relationship. It wasnt a warm relationship. He soon moved out of there.
Old Watertown city directories indicate that Father Sechi boarded at 203 N. Massey St. for a couple years, then at 103 N. Orchard St. from about 1917 to 1927, and at 312 Prospect St. up to Dec. 12, 1937, when finally he had his own parish house on church property.
One of his contemporaries, Julia Fearon, said in 1945 that when Father Sechi first read the gospels in English he had difficulty making them clear.
His landlady on North Massey Street, Julias aunt, Catherine McClair, helped him learn English. He had great difficulty in understanding some words, she told an interviewer, so he would bring to the house a group of words carefully written out and have Mrs. McClair explain them to him.
The priest relied on his first love music for financial survival. In his Orchard Street apartment, he began teaching music and fundamentals of the Italian language to Italian children. This continued for seven years, with lessons in piano and violin. But his skills went beyond that. Father Sechi also could play the organ, accordion, guitar and mandolin. He also did some composing.
In his free time, he visited parish members in their homes, bringing his violin and guitar so that he could accompany his hosts while they sang.
From his best students, he formed a 10-boy orchestra. Patsey N. Brindisi, the 1945 notes said, was Father Sechis first pupil at age 10. He became a popular musician and teacher in Watertown and was leader of orchestras in the citys Avon and Olympic theaters.
With six years into his pastorate, Father Sechi was finding it impossible to find couples who were willing to have their weddings performed in the old house still being used as the chapel. It got to the point where he had to beg somebody to accept a chapel wedding.
Nobody liked to get married in there because they didnt think it was fancy enough, Jennie Surace Benedetto told Mr. Augustine. As plans began for her marriage to Dominick Benedetto, the priest asked her, Will you do me a favor? Let me marry you in our church. Your sister didnt let us. Your sister didnt want to get married down here. Will you? All I got to do is break the ice. She acquiesced, and he was granted his wish on Nov. 2, 1919.
Finally in 1920, Father Sechi and the two charter parish lay trustees, Antonnio Galluccio and Cruciano Digatti (anglicized to Charles Digate), made the move that the priest and his people had longed for. They were going to build a church.
Both trustees, respectively 39 and 50 at the time, were natives of Italy and were independent grocers. Mr. Galluccios store was on Breen Avenue; Mr. Digatti did business at 949 Arsenal St. The two men in 1916 had founded the parishs Mount Carmel Society, which played a large role in making the desired church a reality.
Work began in 1920 for what was to become a long-term project, with the old house being moved by a team of volunteers from the front lot to a back section. The volunteers dug out an area for the new churchs cellar and foundation, which was completed in the spring of 1921. And then, the work stopped due to a lack of funds. The basement was covered with a temporary roof, and for the next nine years, that partial structure was the place of worship for the Italian congregation.
Not until at least $30,000 had been raised would the bishop of Ogdensburg allow construction to resume. To meet that challenge, a drive was conducted in which parish members purchased bricks for the structure.
That accomplished, work resumed on April 5, 1930. A $35,000 mortgage was obtained four months later, covering the balance of the total cost of $75,000.
Over the next six to seven months, the old house that had served as St. Anthonys Chapel was again filling that role.
Come September 1930, the anticipated completion of the new church seemed a distance off. The work was coming along, but funds were running out. Cosimo Renzi, a 46-year-old founder of Renzi Brothers wholesale grocery company, was compelled to speak out in his position as chairman of the building and financial drive committees.
To the people who were failing to keep up on their pledges for the construction, he appealed, The quicker we receive the money, the sooner the church will be completed.
His words apparently served well. Some of the colors of autumn may still have been in place when St. Anthonys Church was completed.
At the conclusion of a dedication ceremony on Dec. 14, 1930, Bishop Joseph H. Conroy said in Italian, In the span of my life, and I am in my 73rd year, I have seen four churches built in Watertown and I am proud of St. Anthonys Church by reason of the fact that it stands on the street of my birth and that it is located near St. Patricks School, which covers the very spot where I was born.
Mr. Renzi, speaking later at a banquet, praised Father Sechi for the accomplishment, noting the pastor has been here for years and has been criticized many times by people who thought he could not build a church.
Cheers of Viva greeted Father Sechi, who responded, I want to thank all my dear people and the people outside the parish. They worked hard, hand in hand.
Adornments in the new church eventually included a personal touch from the pastors sister. Francesca Pasella late in 1943 completed about five months of work, leaving her oil painting of St. Anthony holding the infant Jesus covering the lofty cupola over the sanctuary. She had a year earlier painted in the building murals of St. Blase, St. Mary of Madgalene and St. Veronica, St. Anna, the Mother of Sorrow, St. Charles Borromeo, medallions of the 12 apostles and other displays.
To help pay up the building debt, Father Sechi declined his salary. The mortgage was not satisfied until 1948.
The people of St. Anthonys had their new church, but their pastor was still a renter, a tenant. The nation and world were in the midst of the Great Depression. With a debt hanging over their heads to pay for their church, parishioners could not afford to spend the $12,000 deemed necessary to build a new rectory. So Father Sechi patiently waited seven more years before he could say he had a home.
It was not a structure built from scratch, however. A Sears & Roebuck prefabricated house, erected in 1918 on church property at 850 Arsenal St., was purchased in 1937 from Rose A. Gaffney, to serve as the parish rectory for the decades that lay ahead. It has since been razed.
There were other developments in 1937. Bishop Conroy presented the 57-year-old pastor a birthday gift in September: an assistant pastor. The Rev. James T. Lyng was the first assistant pastor in Father Sechis 24 years at St. Anthonys. Also arriving that September were four nuns of the Religious Sisters Filippini, assigned to St. Anthonys to do social service work and provide religious education to parish children. The old chapel was remodeled and redecorated to be the nuns convent.
Bishop Conroy told the press he reached out to the diocese of Newark, N.J., to acquire the sisters services, to lighten considerably the burden of the priest. While a parish priest is capable only of ministering to 1,000 souls, the bishop said, in St. Anthonys parish there are 3,000 souls.
A special honor was bestowed upon Father Sechi in 1937. He was appointed papal chamberlain by Pope Pius XI the first priest to be so honored in the history of the Ogdensburg diocese. After being invested by Bishop Conroy on Dec. 12, 1937, he was to be addressed as Monsignor Sechi.
Eleven years later, at Christmas Eve Mass, the monsignor had a special announcement for his people: The final payment had been made on the church construction debt. He followed with a letter from Ogdensburg Bishop Bryan J. McEntegart.
I hasten to send you my sincere congratulations, the bishop wrote. It is always cheering when I know that another church is free of debt. In your case, it is doubly so for I am very mindful of the struggle which you have had.
With that accomplishment, the pastor made the case for his next goal his long-cherished ambition of having a parish school. It was an ambition that he would see fulfilled, but not during his tenure as pastor. Monsignor Sechi retired in June 1954, concluding a stay of just shy of 41 years with the people of St. Anthonys. The school opened in 1959.
Early on Sept. 2, 1966, Monsignor Sechi died at age 85 in a hospital in the Bronx.
Father Sechi, who became a naturalized citizen on June 25, 1921, made his only return to Italy in the fall of 1936. The Times reported that he was disappointed that his relatives and old friends did not recognize him.
Another of Francesca Pasellas donations to St. Anthonys Church was a painting of the Pieta. At an unknown time it was moved and tucked away into storage. The painting was discovered in 2001 and now hangs in the church. Mrs. Pasella was 91 when she died in June 1980 in the Bronx.
The society that developed the parishs annual celebration of the Mount Carmel Feast was founded Jan. 1, 1916, to foster the Catholic Faith of almost 800 families of Watertown and to build an appropriate Catholic church for their people, according to a historical sketch.
The group conducted a subscription drive to raise funds for the church construction. Its first president was Loreto Fioretto, then a 55-year-old owner of a gardening business on Breen Avenue.
Mount Carmel has nothing to do with Italy. A coastal mountain range in northern Israel, off the Mediterranean Sea, it was there that the Carmelite religious order was founded in the 12th century. The order dedicated its monastery to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Rev. Onesime A. Boyer was born in Acton, Quebec, in 1874. His family moved when he was young to Rhode Island. He spent four months in Europe as interpreter for the director of the Apostolic Mission House of Washington, and authored She Wears a Crown of Thorns, a biography of Mary Rose Ferron, also a native of Quebec, a mystic and stigmatic. Father Boyer died Aug. 19, 1959, at age 84.
Developments over the past 55 years:
1958 Filippini nuns move into their new convent, and the original chapel is razed.
1959 New school is dedicated.
1973 Parish hall beneath the church is dedicated as Monsignor Sechi Hall.
1978 New parish house is completed and dedicated.
1979 Mount Carmel pavilion is completed.
1986 St. Anthony Apartments is built on land sold by the parish.
1995 St. Anthonys bids farewell to the Filippini nuns, due to their declining vocations.
2003 Church restoration is completed.
2004 St. Anthonys School is closed.
2010 Church renovation is completed.
Today Father Robinson says slightly over half of the present 550 families are of Italian descent.

There were no big parades, no speeches, no field days, not even a barn dance to mark last years special occasion. In fact, the day went by unnoticed.
What occasion?
May Day 2011 marked the centennial of a hamlet tucked off Route 11 in the town of LeRay, five miles north of Watertown. A hundred years ago, or 101 now, the post office at Harlan Dunns grocery store in Sanfords Corners named in 1810 for settler John Sanford took on a new postmark, according to the U.S. Postal Service archives. The community became Calcium, thanks, apparently, to the efforts of one of its new residents, Madison Cooper.
And who was he?
Mr. Cooper, descended from French nobility, was the communitys industrialist. Yes, an industry right in bustling little Calcium. And in a few short years after Calcium took its name, Mr. Cooper was to become fairly well known nationwide to anybody who enjoyed growing flowers, if they were reading his magazine, the Modern Gladiolus Grower, later called the Flower Grower.
But that touches only the surface of this mans resume. He was, at different times, a store clerk, bank clerk, hotel clerk, printer, cheesemaker, shipper of dairy products, bookkeeper, pipefitter, machine installer, carpenter, painter, architect, engineer, breeder of cattle and swine, founder of an amateur baseball league and builder of a baseball park for his community. The list encapsulates his jobs, his sidelines and his interests.
An entrepreneur in refrigeration, he built a business in Minneapolis that became Cooper Cold Storage Systems. With his business booming along the East Coast, he took advantage by returning to the region where he was born, relocating the company to Watertown, and ultimately to Sanfords Corners, the home of his relatively recent ancestry.
Two families, Bacon and Cooper, are cited in History of Jefferson County New York, 1797-1878, published by L.H. Everts & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., to have been the earliest settlers in what would become the southeast portion of the town of Pamelia. The Cooper settlement began with Guillaume Coupert, born in 1773 in Normandy, France.
According to a story told in John A. Haddocks Jefferson County history, Guillaume (French for William) was a teenager in a fishing crew that set out for Newfoundland in the early 1790s. Captured by the British, the crewmen were imprisoned in Nova Scotia. Guillaume escaped to Connecticut. After about three years, he heard about unsettled land to the north, where a wealthy Frenchman named LeRay was selling good farmland at low prices. He joined a company that brought him into the Black River valley, where he was attracted to land featuring a natural flow of water spouting from a hillside. There he acquired 150 acres on the north side of the river, which he cleared for his Cooper homestead.
Now that he was settled, the adventurer found a settlement of Frenchmen near present-day Great Bend. He met a priest and the clerics widowed sister, Marguerite Charton, an educated woman who could trace her family back to the nobles of France. On March 21, 1801, Guillaume, 28, and Marguerite, 27, married.
They had seven children, including a son, William, whose next generation would include a son, Madison Cooper. A generation later, another Madison Cooper came into the world on March 19, 1868 the youngest of three children of Madison and Diana Benoit Cooper.
The ancestral farm served as home for the second-generation Madison Cooper for the first eight years of his life, until his parents moved to Evans Mills. That would be where he attended school and where he would live until age 19. Being a villager did not take the farmboy out of him, however.
Moving to the village was only a step from the farm, he wrote in an autobiographical sketch, and the farm was in mind at all times, and frequent contacts made with what was happening there. At 14, I worked seven months of the year on the farm.
The teen found time to develop another interest, however: baseball. He was captain of a junior team and was centerfielder on a mens team. At 18, he experienced the satisfaction of being a winner when his team captured a Northern New York championship.
As the 1880s dawned, the Cooper family was looking in new directions. The 19-year-old Madison headed to Utica to explore a future in journalism. At 15, he had bought a small hand card press with which he printed and published the Evans Mills Graphic, selling at 3 cents a copy. Printed one page at a time, the paper was eventually expanded to four pages.
When he wasnt printing community news, he was working as a cheesemaker in one of his fathers dairy factories.
In Utica, he took on a temporary job as proof-puller and copy-holder for a morning newspaper office, but after four months, he enrolled in Utica Business College. His parents, meanwhile, were heading out to Ottumwa, Iowa, where they would launch a butter- and egg-shipping business.
Back at Utica Business College, Madison became acquainted with fellow student Clara May Matteson. Their relationship blossomed, and on Dec. 3, 1889, they began a marriage that would last the rest of their lives. Having completed their studies in Utica, the couple moved to Iowa, where the young man worked in a crockery store and later in a bank. They then journeyed to Arrowhead Springs, Calif., where his brother-in-law had a job for him in hotel management.
He and Clara followed when Madisons father made another move, this time to Minneapolis. Madison went to work for his father as bookkeeper.
Meanwhile, a family was growing. Madison and Clara had three sons, all born in Minneapolis. The first, Daniel, arrived Nov. 10, 1890, and William followed nearly two years later, on Oct. 29, 1892. A third-generation Madison Cooper, the one to be called Junior, was delivered May 9, 1901.
Not long after Williams birth, Madison began studies in chemistry and freehand drawing at the University of Minnesota, and completed algebra and geometry studies in a Minneapolis high school. To gain mechanical experience, he worked for the Minneapolis Street Railway Co.
Putting his new skills to work, Madison set out on a project that was to shape his future. In shipping dairy products, the Coopers needed to improve their methods of keeping the goods cold and fresh. Madison invented and patented the Cooper System of Cold Storage. His success prompted him to go into business for himself, running a cold storage engineering and construction business. For about two decades he planned, designed and installed refrigeration systems in more than 100 plants in the United States and Canada.
With his product selling well in the East, Madison Cooper resolved it would be desirable to move the business from Minneapolis, he wrote. In 1903 and 1904, his business was moved to Watertown, with the family living at 108 State St. (later changed to 1042 State St.). At about the same time, he bought the old Cooper homestead, near Sanfords Corners, which he would use for the next seven to eight years as a summer home.
He continued to purchase more land at Sanfords Corners and relocated his business there in 1909, and then settled in a new house there two years later.
In later years he described what brought him back to Jefferson County:
One great advantage of the north temperate zone is what I call its Verdure ... wherever the eye carries may be seen a beautiful green ... yet with the coming of mid-summer and early fall the browns and yellows which result are attractive in themselves, and never do we have the bareness of appearance which prevails in sections where the rainfall is less uniform. So it may readily be seen why this old editor, after sojourning for 20 years in the west, was satisfied to come back to his place of birth.
As Mr. Cooper settled into his new surroundings in 1911, the communitys new industrialist is said to have led the charge for a name change. No official documentation substantiates the account, nor did he claim the honor when he penned his personal sketch. The only known source is the late Lowell Jewett, who wrote a community history.
Madison Cooper, a prominant businessman of Sanfords Corners, changed the name to Calcium. He was disturbed that his mail was being miss-sent to Sanford, in Broome County, Mr. Jewett wrote.
Mr. Coopers refrigeration business used a chloride of calcium process, so he stocked calcium chlorate at Sanfords Corners. Hence, the name Calcium.
The industry that gave Calcium its name was not to last long, but it was still going strong as World War I approached, with one customer being a future Cold War adversary of the United States.
We contracted with the Russian Government for equipment for 20 cold storage plants, Mr. Cooper wrote. These were shipped on termination of the war.
The development of mechanical and electric refrigeration in the early 1920s made Madison Coopers cold storage systems obsolete, although in 1935, he provided his plans to Poland. Time had come for the versatile gentleman to nurture other interests: publishing and flower-growing. For 29 years, beginning in 1914, he edited and published magazines devoted to flowers, gardens, horticulture and nature.
The magazine, he said in his personal sketch, was established as a hobby, and for the reason that I had taken a great interest in growing the Gladiolus, which was at that time quite new. I have probably done more to popularize the growing of Gladiolus, in the early days, than any other man.
A Watertown Daily Times editorial on July 8, 1946, following his death, endorsed Mr. Coopers boast. The village of Calcium became known throughout the country as the home of the man who knew everything about gladioli and also the home of the magazine which he established for the public which admired that regal flower.
The Times account reported that he interested his friend, Charles E. Holbrook of Hungerford-Holbrook Co., in a magazine for flower growers. The magazine became Mr. Coopers major interest, and he went to Albany to have it published. After it passed out of his hands, he established another publication, Gardening, and a baseball magazine, but they did not succeed as did his original.
He wrote of commonplace things and with unusual skill. He was a homespun sort of an individual; wrote of the soil and the wholesome philosophy of the farm. He knew what appealed to his audience. The Flower Grower under his hand became a most interesting and widely read magazine.
Among his subscribers, according to a 1926 item in the Watertown Times, were Mrs. Henry Ford of Dearborn, Mich.; horticulturalist Luther Burbank, and inventor Thomas Edison.
He is said to have had as many as 13 acres of bulbs planted on his farm.
The late Jack Case, who was sports editor of the Watertown Daily Times, wrote a story quoting local sports personality Henry Hank Hodge about his memories of north country sports. His article included a recollection about baseball in Calcium.
Hank also recalled that Chappie Johnson used to have a better than average Negro baseball team based here, playing in a Central New York league. The team had old Flower Grower Field, owned by the late Madison Cooper at Calcium as its home base.
Johnson was a standout professional Negro League catcher. Among visiting teams were the House of David and the Detroit Clowns.
Flower Grower Field in Calcium, a 5-acre fence-enclosed baseball park with bleachers, a grandstand and dugouts, was an outgrowth of the Jefferson County Amateur Baseball League, organized in 1927 by who else Madison Cooper, who served four years as president.
I built the best equipped baseball park in New York State, north of the New York Central Railroad, Mr. Cooper boasted in his life sketch.
At the time, the sport was unusually popular and successful in Northern New York, he wrote.
Games were played on Sundays, and Mr. Cooper rewarded the ladies in attendance with gladioli.
When Pine Camp military reservation, now Fort Drum, was expanded in the early 1940s, Mr. Coopers showcase baseball field was struck out for a spur track serving the Army training ground.
Mr. Cooper was also a prime mover in forming the Amateur Sports Federation, a statewide organization, in 1931, and became its president at inception, according to his obituary. He was also editor of the federations official magazine, Amateur Sports.
The year 1941 was not so flowery for Madison Cooper. Sept. 8 must have been particularly trying for him, when one of his sons was compelled to testify against him in a federal government civil action.
A portion of the 75,000-acre Pine Camp expansion was a 160-acre site on Mr. Coopers North Star Spring Farm. The springs that had attracted his paternal great-grandfather to the region was an inexhaustible source of water spouting from a natural rock formation, the Times reported. A year earlier, he had completed development of the spring for commercial use, and by the end of 1940, more than 3,000 people had taken advantage of the spring for drinking water and for its natural beauty.
He balked at the governments purchase offer, and he subsequently claimed that in doing its expansion work, the government had caused $5,529 in damage to his property. The government, meanwhile, was admitting a $1,500 responsibility.
His son, Daniel C. Cooper, a layout engineer with Deline Construction Co., in his testimony supported the governments damage assessment. When the case was closed, federal condemnation commissioners awarded Madison Cooper $2,000 to satisfy the property sale and damage claim.
Part of Madison Coopers damage claim involved Flower Grower Field, which had fallen into disuse about 1939. The commission ruling considered the baseball parks building and improvements to be of no value, the Times reported.
Four years later, on Aug. 21, 1945, Mr. Cooper suffered a stroke that left him almost completely paralyzed. At 8:45 a.m. July 8, 1946, he died in his sleep in his home at the age of 78.
Mr. Cooper was predeceased by his second son, William, who was 52 when he died of heart disease on May 25, 1944. The twice-married draftsman and World War I Navy veteran had no children.
Clara May Matteson Cooper survived her husband by about 17 months, dying at age 77 on Jan. 3, 1948. She had been active with civic and charitable organizations, particularly the American Red Cross.
The couples third-born, Madison Jr., a radio technician, died on Christmas Eve 1968, in Livingston County. He was 67, and his only immediate survivor was his brother Daniel.
Daniel Cooper lived to be 82. He died in Florida on Jan. 15, 1973, leaving his wife, Marion, and a daughter, Betty J., who became Mrs. Marvin Boos, and later Mrs. George Schneider. She had a son, Garin C. Boos Schneider, the only great-grandchild of Madison and Clara Cooper.
The home built in Calcium by Madison Cooper still stands. With 18-inch-thick ground-level concrete walls and tongue-and-groove wood construction, the 10-room structure remains insulated with cedar shavings.
Following the death of Clara Cooper, the Cooper home and associated property were purchased by Russell Ryor, who used the former Cooper refrigeration facilities for the slaughter and cold storage of turkeys. Ryors Turkey Farm was in business until 1978.
The succession of owners of the Cooper home continued in 1979 with Army Maj. James and Mary Dickey, and in 1985 with Lt. Col. Paul and Linda Callen. The current owners, James and Karen Powell, purchased the property in 1988. Mr. Powell has done extensive research about Madison Cooper and is a significant contributor to this story.
A flower that grows wild in Calcium is the Madison Cooper iris, a variegata introduced in 1918 in Mantorville, Minn., by Willis C. Fryer, who was a friend of Mr. Cooper.
Plans for the manner in which U.S. Route 11 bypasses Calcium were devised about 1946, and drew the regrets of Syracuse columnist Roy E. Fairman.
With the removal of the blind corner on Route 11 at Calcium, his April 20, 1947, column in the Syracuse American Herald read, motorists will pass by that hamlet without being aware it is there.
Mr. Fairman noted that Calcium, like most other rural hamlets, has lost much of the importance which characterized its early years.
The writer was a native of Chaumont who often wrote in Syracuse about his Northern New York ties. He retired from a 42-year newspaper career in 1954, writing the final lines of a history column that carried a vaguely familiar title, As Time Goes By.
He died on May 29, 1961, at the age of 77.
In Watertown, the days of politically correct journalism had not yet dawned when this headline appeared in the Watertown Daily Times in March 1924: "COLORED BOY TO WRITE CLASS WILL"
A black student, possibly the only African American in the Watertown High School senior class, had been elected to write the class will for the Annual, the yearbook.
Charles F. Wright Jr., 16, son of a chauffeur, had quite handily bested a prominent member of the class, Wilfred Nugent, for the task.
Was his election cause for a rift among the 85 young people anticipating their graduation in June? The Times, responding to rumors, wanted to know.
"The selection of a colored person for a class honor of this kind is unprecedented in the annals of the high school," the Times reported.
A vote was taken without discussion after the two candidates were asked to leave a gathering of seniors in the school at 134-138 Sterling St. The discussion came after the tally was in.
"Wright, who has been in the high school four years, is said to be an exceptionally bright and intelligent student," the Times' account continued.
There were some who "were bitterly opposed" to his election, including "one girl of southern blood (who) is said to have been scathing in her remarks on the subject." Others declared themselves opposed to him on the grounds that he had never taken part in class activities and that this honor should go to some loyal class worker.
But the majority of classmates "believe that he is well qualified as a writer of the will owing to his proficiency in school."
Many were of the opinion that Charles Wright was entitled to the honor as much as any member of the class. "They feel that no racial distinction should be made in matters of this kind."
The report said Mr. Nugent's support came largely from the boys, while Mr. Wright seemed to have significant support among the girls, although he was nominated and seconded by boys.
When the loose-bound 1924 Annual came out, pages 80 through 84 carried "The Last Will and Testament of The Class of 1924," by Charles F. Wright.
Mr. Nugent, a future Roman Catholic priest, was not forgotten. He accepted the task of writing his class's history for the Annual.
Art was Charles Wright's true calling. The same yearbook recognized that. Beside his senior photo ran the caption, "This is the (W)right man for the artistic work."
The writer of the class prophecy added for Mr. Wright, "the distinguished artist, has opened a studio in gay Paris."
Mr. Wright must have been a baby-face, as a Times reporter in 1927, three years after his graduation, displayed confusion about his age, estimating him to be 16. The topic was an art exhibit at a city book shop.
The young Mr. Wright "has on exhibition some excellent pen and ink and pencil drawings," the story said. The artist "has been an elevator boy in the Traveler's Hotel where he has had the opportunity to see all sorts of people. It has been his custom to observe guests while taking them on the elevator, and then draw their heads from memory. He has done several fine sketches in this way, particularly of actors who have been playing Vaudeville at the Avon theatre."
Mr. Wright had also copied pictures from magazines and theater billboards to give his own renditions of the featured personalities, "displaying talent to a marked degree," the article continued. There was Rudolph Valentino in a serious mood and a pencil drawing of boxer Luis Angel Firpo in a characteristic pose.
Sketches of babies also commanded the artist's interest, "catching the essential spirit of babyhood," the Times' writer noted.
Unfortunately, the class prediction for Charles Wright was never realized. Although he continued to dabble in art — some of his drawings of nationally known blacks were shown in a 1940 New York City exhibit — he earned his living by less glamorous means.
Charles Wright was born Aug. 14, 1907, in New York City. His parents, Charles F. and Ina E. Hall Wright, who brought four girls and three boys into the world, moved to Watertown at just about the time Charles was reaching high school age.
The first record found regarding his employment came from 1930, when he was married in August to a Watertown girl, Margaret Anne Stevenson. He was a worker at the home of Lucien C. Mitchell, president and treasurer of J.B. Wise Co., Watertown.
Living on Morrison Street, as did his parents and his bride's parents, he was honored by the congregation of AME Zion Church in April 1933 to take charge of the church. Commissioned by a bishop in New York City, he succeeded a pastor who had retired because of poor health.
By 1937, Polk city directories list him as "houseman" for an attorney, A. Raymond Cornwall, 242 Paddock St., and then in 1941 as a chauffeur for Harold W. Conde, 531 Washington St., president of W.W. Conde Hardware.
Early in 1942, while still on the Conde house payroll, Mr. Wright was compiling more sketches, focusing on prominent blacks, people in history as well as his contemporaries.
And then, something happened. In about June 1942, he was admitted to "an Ogdensburg hospital," according to his obituary. He was still a patient there when on Nov. 15, 1942, at the age of 35, he died.
He was survived by his parents, wife, two sisters and two brothers.
Margaret Wright went to work as an elevator operator at Empsall's Department Store, remaining single for 14 years. She began a new life on Dec. 21, 1956, when she became the wife of a military man, Charles T. Smith. The couple lived in Baltimore as a result of his assignment in the nation's capital.
Mrs. Smith was 79 when she died on Feb. 7, 1989.
The class of 1924 boasted of a child prodigy, an eventual president of St. Regis Paper Co. and a beauty contestant.
Leland B. Norton was a 10-year-old when he entered WHS and graduated at 14, believed to be the youngest boy to graduate from the school up to that time. Principal Gary M. Jones said in 1922 that Leland Norton was one of the brightest boys who'd ever entered the school. Despite that, a Times story said "he is not entirely devoted to his books, but is fond of all athletics and participates in several sports."
When he entered Hamilton College, Clinton, in September 1924, he was believed to be the youngest student ever admitted there. He graduated in 1928 with a bachelor of science degree at 18, then did graduate work at Cornell University, Ithaca, where in 1934 he received a doctorate in chemistry. He became a professor of insecticidal chemistry in Cornell's Department of Entomology and had 40 articles published in scientific journals, his focus being chemical properties of insecticides.
The professor died June 10, 1953, at age 43 after a long illness. He was married twice, and was survived by two sons and a daughter.
The 1924 Class Prophecy foresaw him becoming "president of the association for suppression of unnecessary noises and grimaces."
His yearbook photo caption: "He's small, but can pull ties faster, and manage a battery of paper wad shooters more efficiently than any other male member of the high school."
Another member of the class of 1924 who went on to make his mark on the world was William R. Adams, the class prophet. He predicted of himself: He is "known now as the slide rule king (and) is attempting to figure out how many baseball diamonds can be made from the Sahara desert."
And William Adams's photo caption read, "It is hard to find a word big enough to describe Bill. He is big in body, big in mind and big in heart. Oh! Bill!" They expected big things from him, and their confidence was rewarded. Mr. Adams was for 15 years president, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of St. Regis Paper Co. He retired in 1972 and died seven years later at the age of 72.
The Times editorialized, "Bill Adams was typical of a generation which understood two career responsibilities, that of his corporate employment, and that of volunteerism toward unpaid government and public service to all people, a hallmark of the American system which was understood and practiced selflessly by him."
The apparent last survivor of the class of 1924 was Anna M. Lyng, who died at age 97 on Jan. 10, 2005. After attending Potsdam Normal School, she taught in Deferiet, Boonville and Watertown schools. She never married.
Her classmates predicted her future a little differently from how it turned out: She "is in Florida, participating in the Bathing Beauty Contest."
The class prophet missed the boat about who would be the beauty contestant. That honor went to classmate Hilda Farrell. In August 1924, a panel of judges selected her from among 40 young women to be Miss Watertown, to compete for the title of Miss America at the National Beauty Tournament in Atlantic City, N.J. She was not among finalists at the pageant.
Later the wife of John B. Butler, she became a nurse. She was the mother of former Watertown Mayor Joseph Butler and grandmother of City Councilman Joseph Butler Jr. She died at 77 on Feb. 21, 1983.
Wilfred A. Nugent, Charles Wright's challenger in the class will contest, was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1932 and was given the honorary title of monsignor in 1964. He died in May 1991 at age 87.
His senior photo caption more closely reflects upon the career he chose than did the class prediction: "Whenever anybody's needed to help make anything a success, you can always count on Wilfred."
The prediction: He "is living comfortably on the proceeds of his patented receipt for shiek oil and patent leather grease."
Errington A. Whiteford was another class member who became a paper industrialist, but his stage was New York City, where in 1941 he founded Whiteford Paper Co., a specialty paper designer and distributor. He died in June 1982 at age 77.
His future, according to the yearbook: He "has lost his tendency toward women and has settled down already as a 'Bach.'" Mr. Whiteford was married twice.
Said his senior photo caption, "When he smiles, he dimples, and he is always smiling."
Graduate William G. Lewis, who died at age 69 in January 1977, was a chemical engineer who, as company vice president, had his name attached to a Watertown business, Lewis and Clinch. That foiled the class prediction for him: "The two Lewises, Jimmie and Bill, have just established a radio station in Borneo, to bring the inhabitants there closer to our civilized world."
Bill Lewis must have been into radio technology, however. In the class will written by Charles Wright, Mr. Lewis bequeathed to a lower classman "my knowledge of the mysteries of radio."
June 25, 1924, was certainly a memorable day for one of the graduates. When she woke up in the morning, she was Dorothy S. VanLuven, but by the time she arrived for the 8 p.m. commencement ceremony, she had become the 18-year-old wife of John G. Case, who was to become known as Jack Case, sports editor of the Watertown Daily Times.
Speaking of marriage, two sets of classmate sweethearts later tied the knot: Stuart Wager and Annis Combs, and Veneita Lobdell and Ralph Gagnon.
Buster Crabb of Watertown assisted in tracking history about Charles Wright, and Times librarian Lisa Carr assisted with research.

With the second season of American Horror Story coming to a close Wednesday, I cant help but wonder what could have been.
The Asylum arc started out so strong. There was a solid mystery at the center of the show, the asylum itself could have been its own character and the demented factor was strong but not over-the-top.
You cant say that anymore.
The show has been floundering for the past few weeks, but the past two episodes have been almost painful to watch.Read more here

It's been a mad rush of late, not just myself but everyone at work. A major event is coming up in two weeks' time, and no thanks to 'last minute-ness'… everything has to be done and ready by early December! BUT with awesome colleagues and the amazing close-knitted bond that we share, things are going rather smoothly (crossing my fingers) #Thankful for them who add colours into my work-life (and after-work life) everyday! <3
Taking a short break from studying to run some errands and a quick update!
Major obsession with knit wear lately, partly 'cos of the cold weather (rainy season in Singapore is here again!) and the much comfy level of these outfits. LOVES!

The past few weeks haven't been the best and this period has kinda made me grasp the meaning of "相愛容易相處難".
Exam period calls for a hiatus period at home, which automatically translates to a lot of eating and binging on junk food to keep the stress at bay! A lot of songs loaded into the classic iPod too, my main companion with the study notes.
Insatiable love for coffee, and breakfast with mommy on weekends! <3
If you're following me on Instagram, you've read that one of my mom's friend's dad has left without a word. It's heart-breaking to hear that it was supposed to be his first overseas trip, together with his children… He didn't even manage to set foot in Taiwan, and passed away in his sleep on the aeroplane. His family only realised it when their plane touched down. :'( Even thinking about it gives me the shiver feeling. Too sudden, too scary… Cliché statement always has its magic and meaning to it – "Life is too short, treasure every single one and thing around you."
If you haven't made time for someone that you really care, do it now. Take time off work to spend time with yourself, with your loved ones… Work can wait, for you never know when's the last time that you'll get to talk or see them again. Guilty as charged, I think I need to work on this.
*photo taken with my iPhone – that's my beloved grand-dad's vintage Citizen watch that the children bought for him and my late grand-ma for their 50th anniversary. Such Love and faithfulness amaze me… I miss you grand-ma <3 .. 好想再回到那些年的時光.
XOXO, Noi

BERWICK — Junior quarterback Bobby Boudreaux had heard all of the talk about how Berwick wasn't good and more importantly, how they would not get a win.
He said the anger of hearing such things for weeks had built up.
On Thursday night, Berwick finally let it out, and in the process, snapped a 20-game losing streak as the squad beat Hanson Memorial, 32-14, in Berwick.
"Throughout the weeks, it (anger) just kept building up and building up and finally tonight, we just threw it all out there and went all out and did everything right and played as a team," said Boudreaux, who led the Berwick offense with 136 rushing yards and a score on 16 carries. "You can't do much better than that."
The win was Berwick's first since a 27-14 victory against Hanson on the road Oct. 1, 2010.
Beginning the following week with a 70-67 loss to Franklin on the road, the Panthers hadn't won a game since.
Thursday's victory also was the first at BHS for Coach Craig Brodie Sr., now in his second year with the program.
"We don't know how to act right now," a smiling Brodie said after the game. "We had to (field) an onside kick and get in victory formation, and we hadn't had a chance to do that in a while so it feels great."
When asked how it was to end the 20-game skid, which he was made aware of by The Daily Review earlier this week, Brodie acted as if he was unaware of the streak.
"Is that what it was?" he asked. "I know it was (at least) 15 because that's what I've been involved in, but I hope this is one of many to come for these kids. We started last year and went through a rough season and (we were) having another one this year, but I think the future's bright."
Berwick (1-5 overall, 0-3 in District 9-3A) received solid play in all three phases of the game as its offense churned out 280 total yards, including 268 of those on the ground.
While the Panthers' defense surrendered 301 yards of total offense — including 268 rushing — to Hanson, they made plays, including the first big play of the game with a fumble recovery to set up the squad's first score. The Panthers' defense recovered a fumbles later in the game and also intercepted Hanson quarterback Drake Rodriguez twice.
Even the Berwick special teams' got in on the act as placekicker Brooks Richard connected on a 23-yard field goal, Luis Hernandez returned the second half-kickoff 76 yards for a touchdown, and later in the third quarter, the squad blocked a second-half punt by Hanson's Royce Norton.
"Before the game we just mentally prepared … You could just tell it was a different atmosphere than before, and we came out and we just played," Berwick linebacker V.C. Caruso said. "We played as a team (and) as one and it felt good. … I'm proud of my team."
After Berwick's Kyle Riggins recovered a Hanson fumble at the Panther 46 following a high snap to Hanson quarterback Drake Rodgriguez, the Panthers went to work quickly, moving 55 yards in five plays capped by a Boudreaux 18-yard run.
Richard took a direct snap on the two-point conversion and converted the two-point run for an 8-0 Panthers' lead.
Hanson scored its lone first-half touchdown two plays into the second quarter on a Norton five-yard run with 11:29 left in the second quarter. The big-play that set up the touchdown was a Norton pass to Beau LeBlanc after Norton had received a pass from Rodriguez.
However, Berwick would close the half with scores on three straight possessions as Raheem Colar scored on a two-yard run with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter, Hernandez on a 5-yard run with 2:40 remaining in the half and a Richard 23-yard field goal as the final seconds ticked off the clock in the first half clock.
Berwick continued its scoring onslaught with a 76-yard kickoff return to begin the third quarter for a commanding 32-8 Berwick advantage with 11:46 remaining in the third quarter.
"I think we matched up physically well with them," Brodie said. "They've had some key injuries at quarterback, and I had nine guys on the sideline. I had a bunch of starters (that) didn't play. It was a great team thing. Everybody stepped up and played hard."
Hanson added a fourth-quarter score with 3:17 remaining on a Collin Broussard 51-yard run. Broussard was a thorn in Berwick's side with his power running. Norton's two-point run was no good for the final.
Brodie said the win was good for his squad's confidence as it continues its season.
"That's very important," Brodie said. "Who knows what's going to happen the rest of the season? … I'm excited about the rest of the season."
Berwick will return to action Oct. 19 when it resumes District 9-3A play on the road against Kaplan.

Jim_H wrote:how often do either of you two tourists make it to the Canyon?
I think that is exactly what happens, since the pump station at Indian Gardens sends water up to the treatment facility just south of the Kennels. They then send that treated water down to the taps on the BAT. If they extended the water taps, I expect they would simply extend the tap line down from it's terminus at the top of the South Kaibab. I agree about the financial reasons for maintenance of the line over expansion of the line down the South Kaibab. I had heard a rumor they had plans to do that, but it looks like that was just rumor.Al_HikesAZ wrote: All of the water on the South Rim comes from Roaring Springs via the Transcanyon pipeline. When you look at the hassles with that line and the importance of that line to the South Rim, I would expect any infrastructure money would go to improve that line before they would extend it miles across the Tonto to South Kaibab. And I can't see pumping it up to the South Rim only to then send it back down again.
Whether or not we consider ourselves tourists is just semantics. The following would like to be made without getting too philosophical or extending the tap question into a political debate, because that is what the original post was and still would like to be: a question. The tourist statement was made because of the attitude that somehow having a trail with water on it is unforgivably giving up a piece of one of the largest features on the surface of the earth, no matter how small that piece. Also, that somehow having done a recreational hike once or twice into the canyon makes you so much better, or more deserving, than the guy from France who visits and has to be rescued. To spell that out: no, I do not mean better in the, "I did 80 miles on my own", that is a clear distinction, but better in the attitude that you are somehow more deserving to use the canyon than the guy from France. Those people drop out after a short distance down the trail anyway, since hiking is so foreign to them. Even though the nature of a R2R2R is substantially greater than a walk on the Rim, it is essentially recreation and since it is nowhere near where most people live, it can be classified at tourism. Not the same as motoring from National Park to National Park on the Colorado Plateau to look them and snap pictures, but still a form of tourism.I think I'm a little more than a tourist. But then again, maybe we are all just tourists here on planet earth for our brief rides around the sun.
Everyone is more deserving than some frog from France. I mean - get real. Even French Canadians are more deserving.Jim_H wrote:. . .but better in the attitude that you are somehow more deserving to use the canyon than the guy from France. . . .I almost feel like this should have been started in the political forum, since I get the feeling it produces about the same response as a topic on guns.
I'm just an anti-social ole' SOB. I always have a crabby attitude. /sarc Actually I'm just pulling your leg. I like all tourists and their money. There is enough National Park for everybody.Jim_H wrote:Get real: seeing someone as less deserving just because you don't like them for preexisting biases leads to far more than just a bad attitude about other tourists.
In the height of the season, the PSAR volunteers staff the 1 1/2 mile Rest house and the 3 mile Rest house tending to hikers with problems. I take extra electrolytes to them in the summer and I leave some extra Oral Rehydration Salts at the Backcountry Office. My info is that volunteers get free housing in the dorm, and get to buy a NPS Shirt at cost. Otherwise they pay all of their expenses. They wear the shirts while on duty. They help the Rangers and check Backcountry camping permits. Some hike the trails carrying extra water and electrolytes. If they cache anything anywhere they probably hide it. Mostly they just hike and help. They watch for signs of distress and help to prevent problems. If you've never had a problem, you have never had any occasion to know one.Jim_H wrote:Hauling water and electrolytes down the South Kaibab? To who, and how? Do they leave them at locations with signs on them? I saw a 5 gallon container on the BAT, but just assumed it was someone's personal cache. I would never think to steal something left out like that, especially if they might really need it. Economics seems to be the basis for so much of our politics for the last 100 years or so, and that is a large part of the problem, but that is also a completely different topic. Perhaps one you could start in that forum?
