In conjunction with the St. James Chamber of Commerce, Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James is hosting a special Business After Hours open house on Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the medical center. The event will include an open discussion titled "Health Care Changes and Delivering Community-Based Care" led by Rich Grace, Mayo Clinic Health System regional chief administration officer, and Ryan Smith.
After wrapping up the first month of 2013, the medical center staff and providers have already proven that this promises to be a great year. We continue to look at ways we can expand our services and better connect with the St. James and surrounding communities. Our value statement – "The needs of the patient come first" – is our primary focus. This statement is the driving force behind all that we do, and we look at the ensuing days and months as a series of opportunities to improve on meeting all of your family's health care needs right here in St. James
Let's take a look at the latest news from the medical center:
In conjunction with the St. James Chamber of Commerce, Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James is hosting a special Business After Hours open house on Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the medical center. The event will include an open discussion titled "Health Care Changes and Delivering Community-Based Care" led by Rich Grace, Mayo Clinic Health System regional chief administration officer, and myself.
Additionally, there will be a patient testimonial from local business man and medical center board of directors chair Jim Branstad, as well as refreshments and other activities. Everyone is welcome to attend and should enter through the main clinic entrance.
We will be hosting the next Speaking of Health educational seminar on Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. in the main conference room. Benjamin Wong, M.D., cardiologist at Mayo Clinic Health System, will present on the topic of heart health. This seminar is open to the public and staff, and we hope to see you there.
In early January, we delivered the food that the medical center staff donated to the Watonwan County Food Shelf. The food shelf was very appreciative of the large contribution, and our staff is thrilled to help our fellow community members who are in need.
Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James will be sponsoring the "Freeze Your Caboose Off Winter Chill-a-bration." The event takes place on Feb. 23 and 24 and includes a bean bag tournament, plunge into St. James Lake, run/walk and kickball tournament. Be on the watch for a team of medical center staff participating in the plunge and the run/walk. For more details on the event, please visit the chamber website.
Growth and Services
The Joint Commission – an organization that evaluates and accredits U.S. health care organizations – sent a team of expert surveyors to our medical center in early November 2012. We recently received word that The Joint Commission has awarded the medical center The Gold Seal of Approval ™ for accreditation. This is another testament to the quality care that we provide and the hard work from our dedicated providers and staff.
The medical center experienced a 74 percent increase in specialty provider visits in 2012 compared to 2011, 2,100 more visits in our clinic and a 27 percent increase in visits to our Emergency Department.
Surgical staff performed 185 surgical cases in 2012, which is nearly 100 more cases than they saw in 2011. Thank you sincerely for trusting us with your care.
Visitor restrictions that we put in place because of the increased amount of influenza cases in the region have been lifted. As of Friday, Feb. 1, there are no further restrictions, but we encourage people to stay diligent in their efforts to take precautionary measures if they are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
Our physical therapy (PT) department welcomes Danielle Mueller to the team. We are excited to have Danielle join the staff at the medical center as the PT department continues to grow. Did you know that our PT department saw close to 35,000 visits in 2011?
We appreciate your continued support in our mission to bring high quality care close to home.
We are fortunate to have recently had two of our providers named to regional leadership positions for our six hospitals and 23 clinics. Vonnie Gratz, emergency medicine nurse practitioner, was recently chosen as the lead advanced practice provider for the region in emergency medicine. Julie Pace, family medicine nurse practitioner, was named to the same leadership position in the region for family medicine.
The partnership between the medical center and community is more important now than ever before. We want to continue to improve the care we provide and how we deliver it, and without true relationships with the people and communities we serve, we won't be able to achieve that goal.
Again, I encourage you to join us for the open house on Feb. 12. This is a wonderful opportunity for further collaboration with community members and will help make sense of the changes in health care.
I am thrilled to be a part of Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James and to partner with all of you during this exciting time in health care. Please feel free to share your feedback with me at any time. Thank you and have a wonderful – and hopefully warmer – month of February!

Representing Europe in NPR's Poetry Games is Slovenian poet Ales Steger. Steger's first work translated into English, The Book of Things, won last year's Best Translated Book Award for Poetry. The translator was poet Brian Henry, who also translated Steger's Olympic poem, "Once More."
Henry explains that the phrase "tralala oompah" in the poem approximates the Slovenian expression "tralala hopsasa," which "is meant to combine the airiness of 'tralala' with a plodding, folksy rhythm ('oompah' is the closest equivalent in English to 'hopsa,' an onomatopoeic sound of the brass instruments used in Slovenian folk music)."
Henry continues: "In a way, the poem is calling for everyone (including 'bankers with pacemakers') to participate in the Olympics, and for the Olympics to affect everyone. I think the poem is a lightly humorous call to action (reinforced by the title, which would be translated as 'Encore' if the poem were translated into French)."
More verse now, because every day this week, we're hearing competitors in our Poetry Games, MORNING EDITION's celebration of the Olympics in verse.
MONTAGNE: Today, competing from Slovenia, poet Ales Steger, who found inspiration in Olympic diver Greg Louganis. Louganis famously suffered a concussion during a dive at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. He went on to win two gold medals there. Louganis also won gold in Los Angeles and silver in Montreal. Ales Steger's award-winning poetry is translated by fellow poet Brian Henry. He says the poem, titled "Once More," is a call to action for everyone to participate in the Olympics, and for the Olympics to affect everyone. Here, Brian Henry reads Ales Steger's entry into the Poetry Games.
BRIAN HENRY: "Once More." (Reading) If a great idea is translated into a body, then Greg Louganis is an Einstein. If a body is translated into a great idea, Einstein is tralala oompah. Which gods do chess grandmasters dream about? It is time, my love. We all participate in this outrageous activity. Let bankers with pacemakers run the marathon. Let naked sumo wrestlers decide our common fate. Let us pierce the concrete with our heads. Every time, it's a top score, and we are in no hurry to get anywhere.
MONTAGNE: Ales Steger's poem "Once More," coming to us from Slovenia. Five days, five poems from around the world. Listen to them all at npr.org, where you can vote on the poem you think deserves the gold. We'll announce the winner next week. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Dirty money? Hassan keeps felony donations
Gov. Maggie Hassan's campaign committee, Friends of Maggie Hassan, accepted an illegal campaign contribution in June, state Attorney General Joe Foster (a Hassan appointee) determined last week. He ordered her to return one illegal donation. But he let her keep two others, and his office will not say why.
Anyone thinking of running for office in New Hampshire can open an "exploratory" committee and accept unlimited donations. But when he or she officially declares a run, state law limits contributions to the candidate's campaign committee to no more than $5,000 if the candidate agrees to abide by state-set spending caps, or $1,000 if he does not agree to the caps. On June 12, Hassan declared her candidacy and announced the same day that she would not abide by the spending caps.
That day, her campaign was given two $10,000 union PAC donations — from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW).
Foster ruled the contributions legal because he decided that declarations of official candidacy do not take effect until midnight.
Another union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), donated $25,000 on the same day, but the funds did not transfer until the next day, therefore Foster ruled the donation illegal. Hassan had to return $24,000 ($25,000 minus the $1,000 candidates can legally keep).But there is more.
None of the three union PACs was registered legally under state law when it donated to Hassan's campaign. Each one happened to donate to Hassan on the same day despite not being legally registered, then happened to remember to register days later. Though state law requires PACs to register with the state before spending $500 or more, Foster did not order all of the donations returned. Why not?
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice, the AG's appointed spokesman on this matter, would not say. "I'm not going to comment on our thought process in all of this," she told us. Rice did tell us that it is a felony for any non-person (a PAC, for instance) to violate any part of the state's campaign donation regulations. Foster himself determined on Friday that Gov. Hassan was the recipient of three union PAC donations made in violation of the law. He let her keep two and part of a third. As for the PACs, he sent them "cease and desist" letters, which merely declare "Don't do it again until you're legal," Rice said. But the PACs were already legal when the letters were sent, so there was no penalty for violating a state law that classifies any violation as a felony.
The AG's office needs to explain why Hassan can keep illegal donations and why the PACs were allowed to get away with making them. The people (and other campaigns) deserve an explanation so they know which illegal donations this attorney general will allow candidates to keep, which must be returned, and which will draw no punishment.

To the editor,
In their wisdom, our Founding Fathers created a series of checks and balances that would establish a democratic republic for the fledgling United States of America. Of the three branches of government, the Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and the Executive (President) were political. The third branch of government, the Judicial, was intended to be above politics and loyal only to the laws of the land. Judges, in theory, leave their ideology and partisan loyalties behind when they take the bench.
I'm deeply disturbed by the campaign ads for Michelle Bianchi that fly in the face of judicial impartiality. Bianchi's latest ad (Hillsdale Daily News, Oct. 6, 2012) states that she has always been a conservative, prolife and a supporter of the Second Amendment. These are popular political positions in Hillsdale County and may very well reflect Bianchi's beliefs. However, they could be interpreted as pandering for votes on issues fundamentally irrelevant to the practice of fair and appropriate judicial judgments.
Judicial independence, the ability to make court rulings without pressure from partisan groups, is essential if all citizens are to be treated fairly in a court of law. I question how unbiased and fair Michelle Bianchi's judgment would be if a legally proper decision ran counter to her beliefs.
� JoAnne P. Miller, Hillsdale�
Judicial independence essential for all to be treated fairly

September Issue 2012 Covers
Here Come the September Issues (New!)
Here Come the September Issues (New!)
It's the most wonderful time of the year: covers for the September 2012 issues are starting to trickle in, and the images on them are as captivating as expected.
As reported previously, Victoria Beckham is featured on the cover of Glamour, on which she wears little other than a tiara and the frothy bubbles from a bath. Katy Perry, clad in a pink Bottega Veneta dress and purple hair, is on the cover of Elle. Karlie Kloss has two September covers to her name this year: she's on the front of both Vogue UK (in printed pieces from Jonathan Saunders) and Vogue Japan (in one of the last garments Stefano Pilati designed for Yves Saint Laurent). Vanity Fair used a paparazzi photo of Kate Middleton, who it recently named to its International Best Dressed List, on its September style issue.
A look at those exciting covers, plus others that have debuted so far, here in the gallery.

Leo Leonard Sell
AGE 84, OF NALCREST, Fla.
NALCREST, Fla. Ś Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Leo Leonard Sell, Nalcrest, FL, departed this life on Feb. 11, 2013, at the age of 84 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Over these years, as the illness progressed, all of us in the Sell family have been energized and encouraged by the love and compassion of so many treasured friends who gave support in numerous ways for which we are eternally grateful.
"Big Leo" was slender in build, and huge in spirit. If there was ever a man who knew how to combine the duty, honor, and hard work, with the joyful pursuit of laughter, jokes and teasing, it was Leo Sell. He brought his children up to work hard, think of others, and share life and things with a generous spirit. He loved nothing more than dancing with Nancy (nee Neill) his beloved wife of 59 years.
Leo was born on April 22, 1928, in Defiance OH to Margaret McFeters and Harry Sell. He spent his childhood in Ransom MI where he along with his brothers and sisters helped on a family farm. He never lost his love of farming and growing plants. He graduated from Waldron High School, attending BoysÆ State at Michigan Agricultural College (MAC) during high school, and later briefly attended MAC (now known as Michigan State University).
As a young man, he followed the lead of his father and brother and volunteered for the U.S. Army, knowing that he would be likely to serve in the Korean Conflict. He did so from 1951 to 1953 and quickly distinguished himself to his commanding officers who placed him into leadership school. He rapidly rose in rank to become first a Lance Corporal and then Staff Sergeant, directing the actions of a recoilless rifle platoon.
After returning from the war, as he resided in Hillsdale County, he soon came to notice Nancy Neill, a young lady five years his junior. Leo met Nancy on Memorial day, 1953 and they married six months later. Leo always said, with a twinkle in his eye, that "it was those green eyes that got me."
After having their first son, "Little Leo", he and Nancy purchased a small farm not far from Hillsdale and Leo combined working full-time for the U.S. Post Office with farming and raising a family that grew to include Leo, Leslie, Alan, and Steven.
During his time in Hillsdale, Leo was active with the Hillsdale American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts and in the local Knights of Pythias. As a mail carrier, he carried the Hillsdale College route, neighborhood routes, and the downtown route during his time with the HIllsdale Post Office. He was active in the local National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) union and served briefly as a union steward.
Leo and Nancy moved to Pensacola, Fla. in 1979, continuing to work for the Post Office until his retirement in 1985. In 1988, they moved to Nalcrest, Fla. where they have continued to reside amongst many friends.
Leo strived to always put "family first" and he was greatly loved by his wife, children and grandchildren. He is survived by his wife Nancy, his four children, Leo, Leslie, Alan, and Steven, grandchildren Shawn Sell, David Sell, Crystal Wilson, Molly Sell, and Jakob Sell, great-granddaughter Keegan Sell, as well as his brother Duane and many a niece and nephew.

Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus. This is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Shingles occurs in people who have had chickenpox in their lifetime. After causing the first chickenpox infection, the virus is not totally eliminated from the body. Some of the remaining virus settles in nerve roots near the spinal cord. When reactivated, the virus travels along nerve paths to the skin where it causes pain and a rash.
Risk Factors
Shingles is more common in women, and in people aged 50 years and older. Other factors that may increase your chance of shingles include:
- Altered or compromised immune system, caused by medical conditions, such as HIV infection, lymphoma , or leukemia
- Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus
- Radiation therapy
Shingles can occur in those with no known risk factors.
Shingles is not usually transmitted from one person to another, but a person who has never had chickenpox and never received the varicella vaccine is likely to get chickenpox if contact occurs with a person who has shingles. Covering shingles sores with a bandage reduces the risk of transmitting shingles to others.
Shingles may cause:
- Red and has a slightly raised band or patch, often with multiple small fluid-filled blisters that dry out and crust within several days
- Develops on one side of the body, but typically does not cross the midline
- Affects mostly the torso and face
- The eyes to be affected, in severe cases, which can threaten vision
- Sensitivity and pain on the skin at the site of the rash; pain may be severe
- Tingling or itchiness on the skin, which may start a few days before the rash
- Fever
- Headache
- Tiredness
The rash usually disappears within 3 weeks. In some cases, though, post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) develops. With PHN, the pain continues for months or even years after the rash has healed. PHN can be severe and difficult to treat.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The rash can be diagnosed by its appearance. Fluids may be drawn from the blisters for testing, but this is not done often.
Shingles cannot be cured. Treatment focuses on:
- Easing symptoms
- Speeding recovery
- Preventing PHN
Home Remedies and Over-the-Counter Products
The following will help relieve pain and ease symptoms:
- Calamine lotion
- Wet compresses
- Frequent oatmeal baths
- Over-the-counter pain relievers
- Topical pain relievers that are applied to the skin
Antiviral Medication
Antiviral medications may control shingles. Antiviral therapy may shorten a shingles episode, but you must start it within 48-72 hours after symptoms first develop. They are especially used in people with suppressed immune systems.
Treatment for Post-herpetic Neuralgia
If you develop PHN, your doctor may recommend:
- Antidepressants
- Antiseizure medications
- Prescription pain relievers
- Topical pain relievers
- Lidoderm patch
- Nerve blocks
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)—a device that generates low-level pulses of electrical current on the skin's surface
Treatment for Shingles of the Eye
If you develop shingles on your face, contact your doctor right away. You may be prescribed medications, such as steroids, to treat this condition. Without treatment, permanent eye damage can result, including glaucoma, scarring, and blindness.
The herpes zoster vaccine is advised for people aged 60 years and older. The vaccine decreases the likelihood of getting shingles and reduces the severity of PHN if shingles does occur.
If you do have shingles, take these steps to prevent giving chickenpox to others:
- Keep all blisters covered with a bandage until they are dry and crusted over.
- If you are a healthcare worker, do not return to work until the blisters are dry and crusted over.
Avoid contact with people who are at risk of getting severe varicella, such as:
- Pregnant women
- Premature infants
- People who have a compromised immune system

How long will it take to get my Lamin-x?Precut orders are custom manufactured for you at time of ordering. Please allow 1-3 workday's processing time, and at least 2-10 days for delivery after the product has been shipped. You are responsible to make prior arrangement with the carrier if you are not available to receive and sign for the product. Lamin-x is not responsible if the product is verified as delivered with the carrier to the specified address, but you personally did not receive it.What country do you create your precut patterns from?Our precut kits are designed from USA based and sold vehicles. If you are an international customer, please be aware that your vehicle may be different than USA models. Some examples of the differences include; year spans of a model, lights shapes or sizes, trim levels naming, etc... Please compare your model to USA designated models before ordering your precut kit.
What is your warranty?We have a Five-Year Warranty on our products. If you want more information
please visit our
warranty page.
Can I install Lamin-x film myself?Yes, you can install Lamin-x yourself. We have provided installation difficulty
ratings on all of our products. We make every effort to assure that all precut products are rechecked for fitment suitability on each make & model advertised. A "professional quality" installation (especially on
level 4 or 5 install) will require some acquired knowledge and mechanical
ability in which we cannot be held accountable. Therefore installations are done at your risk. We provide you with installation instructions, tools, and website videos. I
f you are not comfortable with the installation, you can use our Dealer Locator to find a local installer. If you attempt the install yourself and
have any questions, contact us at 706-955-0677 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
What do I do if I find fogginess, air or water bubbles, surface
texture, or scratches after installation?
Once the film fully cures, most imperfections will disappear
completely. After time, small scratches, trapped moisture, and most bubbles
will dissipate on their own. However, if you encounter a stubborn bubble, you
can poke it with a sewing needle and push out the air or water. The hole will
eventually close on its own.
How do I remove the film from lights?To remove the film, we recommend warming it with a heat gun,
hair dryer, or simply by parking the car in the sunlight on a warm day. While
the film is warm, slowly peel the film from the lens surface. Any adhesive that
may be left on the lens can be removed with a cleaner that is safe for use on
your vehicle's exterior.
We recommend
using Goo Gone or bug and tar remover.
What is the difference between Lamin-x and the cheap similar
products I find?
This is the perfect example of a "you get what you pay
for" situation. Typically, the inexpensive knock-off films are very thin,
not as pliable, use a sub-par adhesive, or have color fade.
Lamin-x is the complete opposite: Glossy finish, strong, yet forgiving
adhesive, impact protection, and a five year warranty. Even better yet, we make
all of our products right here in the USA.
Are these films legal in my state?Our colored films may not be legal for street use on a vehicle's
primary lighting, and, as such, are sold with an off-road use disclosure.
Please check your state or local laws before installation. Application of
colored Lamin-x film on your primary lights is done so at your own risk.
How to I take care of the
film after install?
You can find information on care instructions on our maintenance
care page.
Transparent protection film that adheres onto your lens covers
Protects against hazing, cloudiness, or damage

Belding looks to keep winning ways going in 2013
With a young but experienced group returning to the field, the Belding softball team is looking forward to another solid season this spring.
The Redskins have one senior on the squad in Caitlin Alkire, but junior captains Hannah Linebaugh and Rachel Hunt both return for their third seasons on the varsity squad.
"There's a lot of excitement heading into the season," Belding coach Mikayla Linebaugh said. "We've got a lot of young kids and one senior, and that's how you build a program. We will have some leadership with kids that have been with us for three years in Hannah, Rachel and Caitlin, and Mariah (Heintzelman), Autumn (Thome), Makayla (Boss) and Kaitlyn Lieffers all return, so we have a lot of girls coming back. They have experienced a lot of winning over the last few years, so they have set the bar high this season."
Along with the returning veterans, the Redskins also have gained experience through a pair of transfer students in Bailey Roberts and Alyssa Canterbury.
Roberts was a catcher last season in Lowell, but Mikayla Linebaugh said she can play multiple positions, while Canterbury, who transferred from Greenville, will primarily be used as a pitcher.
Along with the returnees and new transfers, the Redskins also have a group of freshman coming in that the coaches and players think could contribute right away.
"We've got a lot of young talent and the new girls from different schools, so I think we have a lot of potential for another solid season," Hunt said.
After years of success, the Redskins have proven to be one of the top teams in the Ottawa-Kent Blue Conference. Hannah Linebaugh said despite being on everyone's radar, she is optimistic about the 2013 season.
"I think we have a target on our back because we have been good for the past three or four years," she said. "I expect that we are going to be good again (this season) and I think we can meet our expectations. We have a lot of young players coming up, but they know what is expected of them and they know the game well. We also have a lot of returning players that have been here and won regionals and they know how we practice and how we play."
The O-K Blue will have a bit of a different look this season with Cedar Springs, West Catholic and Forest Hills Northern having moved to the Bronze division, but with the joining of Wyoming Park and Rogers, Mikayla Linebaugh said Wyoming High School brings a great deal of talent into the division.
"I think (Wyoming) is going to be good," she said. "Both programs were good on their own, but then you combine them and they get the pick of the litter. I heard they had 60 kids come out this year and a pitcher transfer in. It still kind of blows my mind that they are still in our league with how big of a school they are, but it is what it is and you've just got to go with it."
Coopersville, who has been one of the top teams in the Blue the last few seasons, is expected to be competing atop the league standings again this year.
Along with the anticipation of the new season, the Redskins have an extra splash of excitement as opening day nears. On March 26 Belding will open its new field against archrival Greenville.
The softball stadium was built as part of the high school renovation project that began in 2011.
"I can't wait to get on the new field and throw the first pitch and just get things going outside," Mikayla Linebaugh said. "Of course the weather has to cooperate."

Making the Tenda wireless-N USB adapter work in Lucid
Subject description: (no luck in Slacko, but it's great in Lucid.)
MicroCenter (web site and a handful of stores scattered across the U.S) carries a brand of dirt cheap wireless routers and adapters called Tenda. The USB wireless-N adapters are nearly always OVERPRICED for $10 each.
$10 to add wireless-N to any computer with a free USB port? That's tough to pass up. But the obvious question is whether we can get it to work.
The good news is that with a little tinkering, I was able to get it working quite well in Lucid. No luck so far in Slacko though - not sure what the difference is, but the same trick and same module that works fine in Lucid is a total no-go in Slacko.
So for anyone out there (especially my fellow newbies) who have or might be considering getting that Tenda W311U stick, here's what you need to know to make it work in Lucid 5.28:
It probably won't work straight out of the box. The reason is that there are two different modules that both show up as the "right" one. You have to unload and blacklist the "bad" one, reboot, and configure using the "good" one. Of course, that means you'll have to create a save file to do it (or do it from a frugal or full installation).
Short version for those who know this stuff: unload and blacklist the "rt2800usb" module. The one you want to use is "rt2870sta". It will load on its own after you reboot.
Step by step version for beginners like me:
1) When you first boot from the CD and get past the video configuration prompt, you'll next get the Simple Network Wizard prompt to configure your wireless connection. Just close it. The Simple Network Wizard won't help. You need the "regular" (Dougal's) network configuration tool instead. Click the Control icon (opens the PupControlPanel, or PCP), click the Network tab, and click the Network Setup button.
2) You'll see "rt2800usb" listed as the Module in the row for interface WLAN0. We need to unload it. Click the "Load Module" button.
3) Click the "More" tab and then the "Unload" button. Click the arrow for the drop-down list and select "rt2800usb", then click the "Unload" button.
4) You'll get a warning prompt asking if you want to blacklist this module so that Puppy won't try to load it every time you boot. YES, you want to blacklist this module.
5) The sneaky part: loading or reloading the correct module usually won't work at this point. You have to reboot (and create a save file) and give that module a fresh start. So cancel/exit/close everything and reboot. (And obviously, create a save file - otherwise you'd be right back at step one after rebooting.)
6) Again, skip the simple network setup wizard and use the regular network setup tool instead. Click the Control icon, network tab, and network setup button to open it.
7) You'll probably see "usb" listed as the module for WLAN0 now. This is one of the funky things in Puppy that might need a minor correction in a future version. The module is actually rt2800sta, but it shows up on the interface list as simply "usb".
You can click the Load Module button, More tab, and Unload button and see that rt2800sta is the name of the module that is actually loaded. (And if it isn't already loaded, use the Load Module button to load it. Scroll down the list, click on "rt2800sta", and click the load button.) When you're done, click Cancel to get out of the "Load a network module" window and back to the main Puppy Network Wizard window.
8.) Click the WLAN0 button. Then click the Wireless button to configure it. A window will pop up asking if you want to add this module to the list of modules that supports WPA encryption. Yes, you do. Click "Add To List".
The next window will list usb as the module name and wext as the supplicant driver. Just click the "OK" button.
9) You should be ready to connect to your particular wireless network. Click the big "Scan" button and select your network. You're probably familiar with the process from here.
10) But if you haven't done this before... after you select your network from the list, click the button to choose the type of security and enter the key or password as needed. Click the "Save" button to save your configuration first, then click "Use This Profile" to connect.
After it connects, it will take you back to the "configure network interface" window. You'll need to click the Auto DHCP button to connect to the internet. (With wireless connections, you might have to do this every time you boot.)
Hopefully that will help my fellow beginners get a decent introduction to Puppy's wireless network configuration tool, not to mention getting a bargain of a USB adapter working with our favorite OS.
(Micro Center also has their own store brand of USB flash drives that are dirt cheap. I'll be giving a few of my friends a Lucid CD, wireless-N adapter and 16 GB flash drive with a preconfigured save file for the holidays this year...)
I haven't had any luck getting this process (or the rt2870sta or rt2800usb modules) to work with Slacko yet. That's fine with me, because I'm happy with Lucid. But if anyone figures out how to get this device working in Slacko, please post so that others can use it.

torgo, cthisbear,
There may be a simpler way to have the correct module get loaded. And it might also work in Slacko, assuming it has the preferred module.
Instead of the blacklist hassle, go into the Menu > System > BootManager and select "Give preference to one module over another". Scroll to the bottom of the list and enter:
and click OK.
On the next reboot, the correct module should be used.

Thanks for the info, rerwin. Setting the priority is indeed a viable alternative.
I still prefer to blacklist the "bad" module, because you end up having to reboot twice in order to set the priority. (You have to create a save file and reboot before you can set the priority. And then you have to reboot a second time for it to take effect.)
But one thing I'll still have to try out... I'll have to see if I can make a custom CD with either that priority entry or with the blacklist entry included on the disc. It would be really helpful if only the proper module would load when booting clean from the CD.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any module that works with the Tenda 311U in Slacko. So at least for now, I'm sticking with Lucid. The Slacko CD has been banished to a junk drawer.

Update: I edited /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG to include the rt2800usb:rt2870sta preference and made a new Lucid CD with the modified config file.
Booting from that CD allows the wireless-N adapter to work even without creating a save file.
It still won't work with the Simple Network Setup tool that pops up when you boot. (I think that has something to do with WPA support, and I might eventually try to figure out how to fix that one.) You have to close that down and go through the regular Network Wizard instead. It works just fine when set up with the Network Wizard tool.
Bottom line: I can attest that the little $10 Tenda adapter from MicroCenter does work with Lucid 5.25 and Lucid 5.28. You have to make sure the rt2870sta module is the only one that gets loaded, and you have to use the regular Network Wizard to set it up, but after that everything's great.
Just don't buy it if you use Slacko, as none of the modules appear to work for it. Spend a little more and get a different Wireless-N adapter instead.

Thanks for trying my suggestion.
Update: I edited /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG to include the rt2800usb:rt2870sta preference and made a new Lucid CD with the modified config file.
That is exactly what my next recommendation would be. Good thinking. I gather that you have used the preference without the blacklist, so that I can confidently make the preference change to lucid pup's MODULESCONFIG. Who knows, how many others you have helped by reporting the problem and testing this solution. Thanks.
As for Slacko, have you reported your situation in the Bugs thread for it?
Maybe there is another driver needed. Tempestuous often provides updated or missing drivers, particularly for networking.

Either the preferences change or the blacklist entry will get it done on a new CD. I went with the preferences method because it seemed less extreme. (But for a save file, I still prefer the blacklist method. It's quicker to set up the device that way.)
I don't know how many people have other devices that actually need the rt2800usb as opposed to how many have devices like the Tenda that will have this conflict. So I don't know if a change to the default MODULESCONFIG would do more harm than good.
I can only report that one device, the Tenda W311U wireless-N USB adapter, initially boots with BOTH the rt2800usb and rt2870sta modules getting loaded in the Network Wizard in Lucid 5.25 and 5.28. The rt2800usb causes some kind of conflict, preventing the device from working.
Eliminating the rt2800usb - either by blacklist or by preferences - solves that problem. The rt2870sta module seems to work just fine.
The other remaining issues are:
(1) the rt2870sta module shows up as "usb" on the list of interfaces. And when it gets added to the list of WPA compatible modules (/etc/network-wizard/wpa-modules), it again gets listed as "usb".
That strikes me as a minor bug, and it was a major source of newbie confusion until I figured out which module was the one being called "usb".
(2) the Simple Network Setup is still a no-go. I think it's because the module isn't initially set up to support WPA. But that's just a guess - I'm a beginner, so I really don't know anything at all about the drivers.
I might try again with Slacko at some point. I haven't tested out all the modules yet, but I'm not optimistic. The same rt2800usb module loads by default (without the rt2870sta), but neither one of them seems to work.
I haven't reported it (other than in this thread), as I haven't tried out all the other modules.
Thanks again...

Subject description: Use Tenda W311M in Slacko
Does the Tenda W311M use the same module as the W311U?
Also, has anyone had any luck with getting the Tenda device discussed previously to work in Slacko?
Thanks in advance.

At least for me, still no luck at all getting the W311U to work in Slacko.
The Windows driver is the 2870 (as in the rt2870sta module). But I've tried loading that driver using the NDIS wrapper, and all it does is crash Slacko. None of the modules work with it.
At the moment, I wouldn't buy the W311U or any Tenda stick for use with Puppy. Even in Lucid, you have to use the Network Wizard (NOT the Simple Network Setup tool) to connect the W311U to a wireless network.
If you already have one of them (or more - my company has a handful of the bloody things), the instructions in this thread will at least help you use it with Lucid. But if you haven't bought it yet, you'd be better off getting something else.
Were you planning to order the W311M specifically from Micro Center? If so, check their web site again. The listing says "W311M" and the picture shows the W311M, but the text gives the description for the W311U.
Obviously there's a mistake there somewhere, and I think the one they actually carry is the "U", not the "M". At least the "U" is the one I've seen on the store shelves.
One alternative: I've had much better success using the Netgear WN111v2 with Puppy, in both Lucid and Slacko. (Someone mentioned having problems on an old 486 machine, but I've had no trouble at all with it on more modern gear - including an eight year old laptop.)
Tiger Direct still carries them ($15), and you can typically find them cheap on eBay.
Can anyone else recommend other inexpensive USB Wireless-N sticks that work with Slacko?

Subject description: Still Can Not Get W311M to Work in Lucid 5.2.8
When I try to setup the W311M in 5.2.8 the system does not give show anything for WLAN0. What could I be missing. I have unloaded the ETH0 module so that does not seem to be the issue. I am also in the same boat with the Tenda's, I have four of them. They do work fine with WinXP Pro.
Any suggestions as to why the system is not being recognized?

To answer that we need to know the USB device ID of your wifi dongle, by running the "lsusb" command ...
but I can already find the result of that command here -
Apparently your USB device ID is
So your W311M is distinctly different to the W311U;
you need the Ralink
driver, available here -
Please take careful note of the title of that forum thread, regarding compatibility.

The thread where tempestuous posted the 5370 driver also has some good background info on the Ralink RT3070, which helps explain why W311U users are having issues. ( Thanks for that info, tempestuous! )
The W311U is based on the RT3070. The catch is that Ralink made changes to the driver - and to the chip itself - so that Linux users really have no idea what driver (if any currently available) would be the perfect one.
The original 3070 driver mirrored a lot of the 2870 code and was typically compatible with the 2870 driver - and for that matter, the Windows driver on the unit's CD is the rt2870.inf file. But later devices are not fully in line with the 2870 code.
Many of those devices work with the later 3370 driver instead. But some fall somewhere "in between" and don't work 100% perfectly with either driver. The W311U is one of those.
Tempestuous also created a pet file for an older version of a true 3070 driver. (Thanks again, tempestuous!) Alas, the W311U doesn't quite fit with that one either. It works, as does the 3370, but no better than it does with the original rt2870sta module.
The W311U can work with pretty much any of the drivers in that family in Lucid - but you can't use the Simple Network Setup tool with any of them. You have to go through the Network Wizard.
Also, for some odd reason, setting preferences in the boot manager doesn't seem to work when using the 3070/3370/3572 drivers. Lucid will try to load both the 2800usb and 2870sta drivers automatically, even if you set a preference to some other driver. You have to blacklist the ones that you don't want to load.
So at least for now, Lucid and the regular RT2870sta module appear to be the best combination for anyone stuck holding a handful of W311U's. Use Lucid rather than Slacko, use the boot manager either to give preference to the 2870 or to blacklist the 2800, and stick with the Network Wizard tool.

What to know about the Serpentine/Drive Belt:
The serpentine/drive belt or v-belt is a rubber belt that links the alternator, power steering, and AC to the part of the engine (crankshaft) which directs the power from the engine to those components. Without this belt, the battery will not get charged and none of the electrical accessory components in the car will work. The serpentine belt and v-belt are also called "drive belts."
Because of the great amount of heat in the engine, the belt can develop cracks over time and eventually break. If the belt breaks, the steering wheel will be difficult to turn and driving will be hazardous.
In some cars, water pumps are driven by the drive belts. If the belt breaks, water and coolant required to keep the engine cool will not correctly flow to the engine. The engine will overheat, potentially causing severe damage.
Facts to Note:
A car will either have a serpentine belt(s) or v-belt(s). Cars that have a serpentine belt will have one or two belts. Most modern cars have only one belt, driving all the engine accessory components. If the car has v-belts, it will most likely have four belts.
How to Fix:
Examine the belts for cracks.
Remove and change any broken-down belts.
Examine pulleys and bearings.
Our Proposal:
A mechanic should check the drive belts during oil changes. If you hear a squealing noise from the engine, it is likely that the drive belts require adjustment or replacement.
Common symptoms indicating you may need to change the Serpentine/Drive Belt:
Squealing noise coming from engine if the belt is loose or worn out.
Lack of steering if the belt is broken.
Battery Warning Light is on.
Engine overheats.
Importance of this service:
The drive belts link the engine to the alternator, air conditioning, power steering, and sometimes the water pump. These belts are how power is transferred from the engines to these other systems. When the belts break, the engine will be unable to transfer power to the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering. Since the alternator is in control of charging your battery, a broken drive belt means that the electrical components won't function in your vehicle. The power steering also will fail, which makes it tough and dangerous to steer. If your car's water pump is also attached to the drive belt then the engine will not have a properly functioning cooling system, and your vehicle will be likely to overheat.

For a comprehensive overview of chronic kidney disease (CKD), from basic terminology to risk factors and matching a treatment option to your lifestyle, DaVita has all the in-depth information CKD patients and their care partners need.
Understanding your kidney disease, or renal disease, is the first step in taking control of your health. When you have kidney disease, your kidneys are no longer able to remove waste effectively from your body or to balance your fluids. The build up of wastes can change the chemistry of your body causing some symptoms that you can feel, and others that you don't.
With kidney diseases, the first symptoms you may have are ones that you won't feel but that will show up in tests that your doctor orders. Common problems are high blood pressure, anemia and weakening bones. It is important to find a kidney doctor (also called a nephrologist). Partner closely with your doctor and your health care team as early as possible.
Your kidneys -- two bean-shaped organs located in your lower back -- are your body's filtration system, cleaning wastes and extra fluids from your body and producing and balancing chemicals that are necessary for your body to function. Healthy kidneys also:
Following a kidney-friendly diet, managing health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension and not smoking may help your kidneys function better and longer, even when you have kidney disease.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) comes in stages and knowing your stage is important for deciding treatment. CKD has five stages, ranging from nearly normal kidney function (stage 1) to kidney failure (stage 5), which requires dialysis or kidney transplant.
Understanding your stage can help you learn how to take control and slow the progression of kidney disease. The stages of renal disease are not based on symptoms alone. Instead, they reflect how effectively the kidneys eliminate waste from the blood by using an equation that estimates kidney function, known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Determining your GFR requires a simple blood test.
Diabetes and high blood pressure are the top causes of kidney diseases. Another form of CKD is glomerulonephritis, a general term for many types of kidney inflammation. Genetic diseases (such as polycystic kidney disease, or PKD), autoimmune diseases, birth defects, acute kidney failure and other problems can also cause kidney disease. Take a 3-minute Kidney Disease Risk Quiz to see if you're at risk for renal disease (located in the DaVita Educational Tools section).

In a reversal of an earlier decision, Ridgecrest's planning commission will not be taking on the initial study of whether the city should adopt a charter or remain a general law city.
By Jack Barnwell
In a reversal of an earlier decision, Ridgecrest's planning commission will not be taking on the initial study of whether the city should adopt a charter or remain a general law city.
The decision was announced Wednesday night at the Ridgecrest city council meeting when resident Tom Wiknich confronted the council about concerns over a lack of transparency by the council.
City Manager Dennis Speer addressed the issue after Wiknich asked for an explanation as to whether the city would be pursuing the idea.
"After more consideration, the idea of a charter city will not return to the planning commission until there has been a discussion here at the council level," Speer said. He added that the city planner has been advised not to place it on future planning commission agendas until a decision has been made.
Charter cities have more leeway in how they govern themselves and spend tax dollars, while general law cities like Ridgecrest must adhere to strict laws set down by county and state laws. A decision to adopt the charter ultimately rests with voters on an election ballot.
Wiknich initially seemed content with the response until Mayor Dan Clark addressed the issue, setting off a tense discussion. Clark is an advocate of exploring whether or not Ridgecrest should adopt a charter, a promise made during his 2012 mayoral campaign.
Clark dragged out a dormant issue initiated by Wiknich when he served on council between 2006 and 2010: Ridgecrest's secession to Inyo County.
"I remember our discussions and I said 'Tom, they will hand you your rear end,'" Clark said. Clark added that he recalled Wiknich's response as saying it was a promise made to voters to explore.
"I said I would support you 100 percent in your ability to say that because you had to represent that portion of the community," Clark said. "I submit to you that I need that same support."
Clark also addressed a letter Wiknich wrote, challenging claims that the mayor had given direction to the city manager behind the scenes, that a charter city would abolish term limits established by voters in the 2012 elections, and that a charter city would establish the mayor as an executive-style leader.
"The community votes on the charter, not the council," Clark said. "If they want to get rid of term limits, then they can do that. The community votes on the decisions and you know that."
Wiknich countered that he based his letter on an article he had read in The Daily Independent. The article concerned the Aug. 27 planning commission meeting where City Planner Matthew Alexander said that the mayor, in concurrence with the city manager, had requested that the planning commission look into investigating the matter.
Wiknich further defended his decision to bring the Inyo County item up during the time when he had been on council.
"I brought that issue to the full city council," Wiknich said. "I did not go to staff and say we need to look into this."
Wiknich added that there was no indication in the minutes of recent council meetings that suggest the council had reached a consensus on whether or not the planning commission should explore the idea. The last mention he said, was when Vice Mayor Chip Holloway mentioned a possible toolkit from the League of California Cities to help explore the option of moving to a charter city.
Clark countered that the League has yet to finish that toolkit, and defended his decision that now was the time to explore the concept. One reason, he said, is that charter cities are not required to pay prevailing wage for infrastructure projects funded by state grants or money.
In the meantime, however, Clark said the decision and discussion would reside with the council, not the planning commission.
"I spoke with the city manager and decided to bring it back to council," Clark said. "I'm absolutely happy to do that, and so long as I fulfill my word to the community I'll be a happy camper."

All the Gold Burroughs Sees is in Lincoln
Official Blog of the Huskers
Wrestling's biggest walking billboard won another world championship Wednesday in Budapest, Hungary. And now, as the world continues to turn, Olympic gold medalist Jordan Burroughs has all of 24 days to prepare for his next major milestone – his Saturday, Oct. 12 wedding in Buffalo, N.Y., to Lauren Mariacher, whose brother wrestled for American University in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. "As luck would have it, she happened to be sitting right in front of the mat that I was wrestling on," Burroughs told me the day before he joined Nebraska coaches Mark Manning and Bryan Snyder on flights to Frankfort and Budapest.
"A world championship is important to me, but it isn't even close to what it's going to be like getting married," Burroughs said. "Lauren saw me and apparently thought I was good-looking. A couple days later she sent me a message on Facebook to congratulate me on winning the NCAA. A couple months after that, I was in Buffalo doing a clinic for a local high school and had the audacity to send her a message, even though I didn't know her. We finally connected by phone, and I told her I was going to be there for a couple days and maybe we could meet each other, hang out or do something together like a movie or dinner."
Talk about the power of social media. "I know, it's crazy, but she's so awesome," Burroughs said. "She has more energy than me. She's been a sports writer in Buffalo for two years. While she was working, she ran a marathon and got her Master's at Columbia University within a matter of months of each other. What I've done can't even compare to what she's done. She is an amazing woman, and getting married will be the absolute highlight of my life."
Burroughs Proud Scherr Rescued Wrestling
A second world championship moved Burroughs to 65 consecutive wins. He went to Budapest as the only 2012 London Olympic champion competing in the 2013 World Championships. Somehow, wrestling is on the same kind of roll that Burroughs is. Nine days ago, the International Olympic Committee announced that wrestling had defeated baseball/softball and squash for a spot in the 2020 Summer Games. "Everybody had a great presentation, but we had a Nebraska wrestler making our presentation," Burroughs said.
Burroughs viewed his Olympic gold as an achievement that represented the Nebraska Way, and he sees fellow former Husker Jim Scherr as the pivot man who saved wrestling as a viable world-class sport. Scherr was also the first Olympian ever selected to lead the United States Olympic Committee as its CEO.
"I watched his presentation from Buenos Aires on my computer, and he did an amazing job for our sport," Burroughs said. "I was scared, and I was sweating. It felt like I was watching the most suspenseful movie I've ever watched. I don't know if wrestling would have gone off the deep end if one of those other sports had beaten us out, but I do know it would have put wrestling in a dangerous place.
"When you lose something and then get it back, you're more fired up than ever," Burroughs told me. "What we did and what Jim Scherr was able to communicate will make wrestling more popular than it has ever been. We've added more weight classes. We've added more gender equity, and we've positioned ourselves to be more relevant."
Fans Flock to Burroughs' Twitter Account
Within 10 seconds of a worldwide announcement that wrestling was alive and well again, Jordan Burroughs tweeted the good news. Within five minutes of that tweet were nearly 1,000 retweets, so he wasn't the only one strapped to his computer sweating bullets. Within five hours or so, the number of retweets reached 5,000.
Burroughs thinks beyond mere numbers. He's a man of faith, and if you watch this video, produced by his fiancé, you'll understand that she's just as down-to-earth as he is. "We're so excited to get married and then come back to live in Lincoln," he said. "We just bought a house on Sheridan Boulevard. I love Lincoln, the coaches, the environment and the facilities I train in. I'm not leaving here. We have everything we want. The city's great, the people are great, and this is where we want to call home."
Burroughs may have struck gold in London, and he may have just won gold in Budapest, but the gold he sees and values most is right here in Lincoln.

This story is part of NPR's 50th anniversary coverage of 1964. The year remains prominent in civil rights history for a number of reasons: the Freedom Summer, the murders of three civil rights workers, the passage of the Civil Rights Act and the challenge to Mississippi's segregated delegation at that year's Democratic National Convention.
Fifty years ago, St. Augustine, Fla., was a quiet, palm-fringed resort town with pastel Spanish colonial buildings. There was warm weather, and the white sand beaches off the Atlantic coast lured thousands of tourists every year. There was also a historic part of downtown that had a building often referred to as "The Old Slave Market," with good reason: For several decades, that had been the building's purpose.
Racial tension in St. Augustine had been bubbling. The town lacked public amenities for blacks — much of the area was segregated. And for years, there had been a growing civil rights movement that had been met with increasingly violent resistance from local whites.
Despite that, it was clear black pushback was growing. As Congress debated passing a civil rights act, black leaders wanted to increase the pressure on elected representatives by highlighting racial injustice and violence in various parts of the country.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his Southern Christian Leadership Conference put out a call for white students in the North to skip the beach on their spring break and come to Florida to protest segregation. Inviting young white people to push for civil rights would bring attention to places where the national media had ignored dramatic racial injustices.
To further increase the pressure, King's deputy, Hosea Williams, visited Boston to see if any elderly Bostonians would volunteer. Williams believed the image of grandmothers being ushered off to jail would be a sure bet in gaining national publicity for places that had been in the shadows. One of Williams' volunteers turned out to be 72-year-old Mary Parkman Peabody, wife of the former bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York and mother of Endicott Peabody, then-governor of Massachusetts.
Historian David Colburn, professor emeritus at the University of Florida, said the SCLC knew St. Augustine was preparing to celebrate its 400th birthday, and decided to hijack the tourist message with a civil rights message.
"It was clear that they were trying to mobilize a civil rights army to come to St. Augustine to lead demonstrations against the segregation policies of the community," Colburn says.
The late governor's brother, Samuel Peabody, says his mother had been involved in what she called "justice issues" for several years.
"She never had a doubt about her opinions, and she stood up," says Peabody, a retired New York businessman. "She was articulate about them at all times."
The last week of March 1964, Mary Peabody and a few other powerful women flew down to St. Augustine. With members of the SCLC, they tried to attend services at Trinity Episcopal Church. The rector locked the doors.
They attempted to go to several local restaurants, and were turned away. Then the group decided to try for lunch at the Ponce de Leon Motor Lodge —which just happened to have a group of reporters staying there.
Mary Peabody, says Colburn, was clear about the probable consequences: "She even ran into an old friend on the street in St. Augustine as they were going to the hotel restaurant, and was asked what she was doing there and said, 'Well, I'm about to get arrested!' "
Which was true. She spent two nights in the local jail before her youngest son, Malcolm, was allowed to bail her out. Samuel Peabody says he got word a week later, when he returned from a trip abroad:
"I was not told about it at all. What surprised me was I saw my mother on the front page of every newspaper in the country!" he recalls. "Or at least every newspaper where I was at the time." (Southern newspapers were the exception, for obvious reasons.) The picture of Mary Peabody, with a proper handbag and pearls, her white hair topped by an ever-present hat, made national news.
It was a turning point.
Black St. Augustine residents had been working to break segregation for years before Mary Peabody's arrival, but her presence in March 1964 made their struggles visible. Malcolm Peabody says his mother knew her job wasn't the same as black local protesters, and was aware she played a very specific role:
"She did not face the danger that so many of them did, but the fact that she was able to generate the publicity made her special."
That publicity was a catalyst for other demonstrations soon after, some of them quite violent. The St. Augustine Movement would become known as one of the most critical — and until recently, one of the least-known — campaigns in the civil rights history.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of several civil rights milestones, including Freedom Summer and the murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi. It's also the 50th anniversary of the movement to desegregate St. Augustine, Fla. NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates has this story about a critical moment and an unexpected champion in what came to be known as the St. Augustine Movement. A warning: This piece contains images and language some may find upsetting.
KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: Warm weather, white sand beaches, gentle breezes - in 1964, St. Augustine was a quiet, palm-fringed resort town with pastel Spanish colonial buildings; and a historic part of downtown that contained a building that was often referred to as the old slave market because for several decades, that had been its purpose. In an oral history from the St. Augustine Civil Rights Library, Bernice Lacey Harper described the lack of public amenities for black St. Augustinians.
BERNICE LACEY HARPER: The horses had a trough, and they could get a cold drink of water. But blacks could not drink from the water fountains.
BATES: For years, there had been a growing civil rights movement that had been met with increasingly violent response. Dr. Robert Hayling, a prominent black dentist with an integrated practice, had been a leader in the struggle. In September 1963, he and two colleagues were run off the road and kidnapped by the Ku Klux Klan. In his oral history, Dr. Hayling described what happened next.
DR. ROBERT HAYLING: Literally, after being beaten severely, we were stacked like cordwood on top of each other. And even in the group, one of the leaders had asked the people assembled if they had ever had the pleasure of smelling a nigger burn.
BATES: Fortunately, they avoided that grisly fate when a sympathetic white man slipped away and made a hasty call to authorities in nearby Jacksonville, who intervened. But it was clear black rejection of segregation was growing. To increase the pressure, Martin Luther King and his Southern Christian Leadership Conference put out a call for white students in the North to skip the beach on their spring break and instead, come to Florida to protest segregation. Historian David Colburn, professor emeritus at the University of Florida, said the SCLC knew St. Augustine was preparing to celebrate its 400th birthday with a year's worth of festivities.
DAVID COLBURN: And it was clear that they were trying to mobilize a - their civil rights army to come to St. Augustine, to lead demonstrations against the segregation policies of the community.
BATES: One of the volunteers turned out to be Mary Parkman Peabody, the wife of a former Episcopal bishop and the mother of the then-governor of Massachusetts, Endicott Peabody. By birth and by marriage, Mrs. Peabody was connected to two of Boston's most ancient and prominent families. Her son Samuel Peabody said she'd been active in what she called justice issues for years, sometimes in the face of stiff disapproval from her elite social circles.
SAMUEL PEABODY: She never had a doubt about her opinions, right, and she stood up. She was quite articulate about them at all times.
BATES: And, says David Colburn, civil rights was already very much on Mrs. Peabody's radar.
COLBURN: She had, through her family - particularly through her husband's association with Martin Luther King - come to supporting the civil rights movement, and anxious to see it successful.
BATES: So 72-year-old Mary Peabody and a few other similarly powerful women flew down to St. Augustine, intending to demonstrate but as a compromise to their worried families, not intending to be jailed. Eventually, though, they decided they had to join the protesters behind bars. We need some old people in this thing, she told reporters as she was led away. We're just what they say we are: do-gooders.
Malcolm Peabody bailed his mother out two days later, and says the authorities treated her well.
MALCOLM PEABODY: They were all polite to her and particularly polite because she was a lady of 72 years old, and dressed properly.
BATES: Just as the SCLC had hoped, the story made national news. Photos accompanying it show an elderly lady with snowy hair and pearls, placidly peering between the bars of her cell. Samuel Peabody had been abroad and returned to find his mother was famous - or infamous, depending on your own point of view.
SAMUEL PEABODY: What surprised me was that I saw my mother on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
BATES: Historian David Colburn says it was a turning point.
COLBURN: St. Augustine was one of those critical three or four campaigns that unfolded in the early 1960s that brought about substantive racial change in America.
BATES: Black St. Augustine residents had been working to break segregation for years before Mrs. Peabody's arrival, but her presence in March 1964 made their struggles visible. Son Malcolm Peabody says his mother was pleased she'd contributed to their efforts.
MALCOLM PEABODY: She was tickled that she could be helpful - as indeed, she was.
BATES: And the momentum from her St. Augustine visit would become a springboard for even larger demonstrations a few months later.
