House requests Toribiong to establish Post Office in Ngerulmud
- Category: Pacific/Regional News

- By Maripet L. Poso - For Variety
KOROR (Palau Horizon) — The House of Delegates is requesting President Johnson Toribiong to establish a Post Office within the proximity of Ngerulmud to serve the postal needs of the Capitol and nearby States.
In House Resolution No. 8-17-8, the House said the current and only post office in the country located in Koror is becoming too small to accommodate the growing needs of postal services for individuals and businesses. Establishing a second post office at Ngerulmud will allow the national government, adjacent state governments and the people of Babeldaob to conveniently use this second Post Office.
According to Delegate Lentcer Basilius in an interview, the Capitol has already been issued a 96939 Zip Code by the United States Postal Service.
"It only took two days for them to give us the new Zip Code," Basilius said. He added that launching another Post Office at Ngerulmud will create additional revenues through sales of stamps, post office box rentals and other essential postal services.
"Developments aimed at Babaldaob and especially the Capitol area will require interested businesses to obtain a physical address," Basilius added. And the establishment of the second Post Office at Ngerulmud will help serve that purpose.
All requirements are in place, and the Olbiil Era Kelulau (OEK) feels that the timing is right to establish a second Post Office at Ngerulmud to better serve the people of Palau, particularly businesses who will be investing in Ngerulmud and Babeldaob areas.

Ladies/gents has anyone ordered from a website called londonlovesbeauty?
@SophieG1 no iv heard of them but just do a trustpilot check on them if your worried i always do this.
@SophieG1 anything nice lol🙃
They have Tatcha things and lots of American Goodies including Kylie cosmetics @Angelprincess87
it says they offer Klarna so you can pay later and try them first so I'm guessing if they were fake they wouldn't offer it?
Prices are more expensive but definitely cheaper than getting shipped over. Xx
I would usually be abit iffy about any site that sells Kylie, but it actually looks pretty legit. Could be a good find! 🖤
thanks will give this a look, never heard of them but trustpilot says they are okay, and like you said i don't think they would be offering klarna if they were selling fake products.
Ill have to chexk it out, thers ao many thing i want to try but they bot sold here x @SophieG1

Last weekend, I returned to Brown University for my 10th college reunion. It was a meaningful, action packed weekend. A few highlights:
Friday night: Campus Dance was marred by a cold rain, but that didn't stop alumni and students from enjoying themselves.
Saturday: Beverly Wade Hogan, President of Tougaloo College, was awarded an honorary diploma. President Hogan has devoted her career to improving the health and well-being of the people of Mississippi. Seeing her address Brown's graduating class, and thinking about the history of the Brown-Tougaloo partnership, was very meaningful.
Saturday: I returned to West House, the environmental house where I lived for two years. I was inspired by current West House residents, who are trying to live a sustainable, ecologically-friendly lifestyle.
Sunday: Parading through Brown's Van-Winkle Gates, which are opened only twice a year. They are opened inward to admit new students, and on Commencement Day they are opened outward, to allow the graduation procession to march out into the world.
Sunday: Seeing the enthusiasm of returning alumni on the parade route:
I'll always be grateful to Brown. Four years there helped broaden my horizons and open my eyes to the challenges we face around the world.

Christmas is the time of year I cherish. As I sit here by my fireplace and look at the beautiful Christmas tree my family and I decorated, I feel so blessed to have this amazing life. The holiday season is a time for appreciation, gratitude, giving, and celebrating life.
|Our Tree
My family has a tradition of giving ornaments as gifts. My mother gave me an ornament every year and I now give my boys a special ornament each year. My plan is that they will eventually have a box of ornaments that carry special memories of their childhood, just like I have. I give this gift (an ornament) on the night before Christmas. I have each of my little boys sit down with their hands out and eyes closed. I gently place the specially wrapped box in their hands and watch them open their gift. I then explain why the ornament is significant and why I want them to have it. Even though this gift is the most insignificant gift they receive each year as far as monetary value, my heart explodes with love when I watch their little faces light up as they unwrap their newest addition to their collection. It is at this moment every year that I remember that it is the simple gifts in life that are the most precious.
One of the things I started doing a few years ago is labeling my Christmas ornaments. I create a small label that I can hide on the inside or bottom of the ornament. I label who gave it to me and the year. One of my favorite pass times during the holiday season is to pour a glass of wine and look at all my beautiful ornaments while reminiscing about all the wonderful memories I have been blessed to have.

Cato Networks can now incorporate user identity into its SD-WAN policies. This gives network operators and administrators more options to align network policies with business outcomes.
Administrators can now use data points such as a user's role, group, or department around which to build SD-WAN rules.
The company says this enables more fine-grained policy options. For instance, most SD-WAN vendors can recognize a real-time communication app such as voice or video and prioritize it. With identity, administrators can set more granular rules such that, for example, voice calls from the sales team get the highest priority in the organization.
The goal is to better align network policies with business outcomes; i.e., ensure that customer calls are of the highest available quality. (Note that Cato can't distinguish between a call from a customer and a non-business related call. The prioritization policy is based on user role or department, not the call source or content.)
Cato Networks gets user identities by syncing with a customer's Active Directory or LDAP database, or when a customer logs in to Cato's own mobile agent. The user's identity then feeds into the policy management engine.
Cato says customers can set policies down to the individual user, but recommends sticking to policies based on roles, teams, or departments.
Besides finer-grained policies, Cato says this identity feature provides more visibility for IT into how departments and teams use network resources. This visibility can inform chargeback, capacity planning, and other internal functions.
SD-WAN One-Upmanship
The base capabilities of SD-WAN have coalesced around certain features: the ability to identify applications, the ability to to send different applications over different links based on a combination of internal policies and link performance, and the ability to set and manage policies from a single controller.
With these base features defined and generally available from every SD-WAN solution, vendors are looking for ways to distinguish themselves.
Identity is one option. Part of the value of SD-WAN is that it can help better align network policies with business outcomes, and using identity to help inform policy extends that value.
I'm curious to see if other SD-WAN vendors also adopt this capability.
Cato's identity-aware routing feature is available now.

Buying a automobile is just not always easy. At our major objective is to assist you, our valued user, within the automotive buying process. We offer many car providers and services to make your next automotive buy a easy one.
Purchasing used cars from new car dealers is the most secure. As they sell used cars in a great condition, the worth of the cars may be a bit of more than the above-mentioned sources. If the purchaser is very specific in regards to the high quality and reliability of the used cars, the most effective place to purchase is from the brand new automobile seller.
In fact, on any given weekend, cities all over the planet put aside giant swaths of their neighborhoods for walkers and bikers as a part of usually scheduled car-free festivals These are bringing about permanent change: Bogotá began banishing cars from its streets each Sunday and used that momentum to develop one of the crucial inspiring, low-value transportation methods on the planet in lower than 20 years.
Right here is how the government does it: they seized cars that have improper paperwork or which might be illegally stopped on the highway and naturally the cars which might be stolen. Most of the time, the cars are returned to their homeowners, or they come directly to take their car in change of a penalty. The best half for you is when the owner of the auto is silent and no one involves take again the auto. After a certain period and after a number of contacts, the local authorities take your automotive and put it up for sale. And then you are within the government public sale cars.
Newspaper categorized commercials: Native newspapers is usually a good supply of data for purchasing used cars. The prices of the listed cars are comparatively decrease than the automotive retail prices. Auto sellers promote to find buyers and the consumers too benefit by buying used car for a lesser worth than the retail value of the automotive. Since there are no middlemen concerned the purchaser saves lot of money.

"Certainly we've seen a lot of goods being sold over the Internet. But services--the things we have to say, all the things that comprise the service economy--we haven't seen online," said Scott Faber, Ingenio co-founder and general manager of the new division, dubbed Ether.
Ether allows any Web site publisher, for free, to place an HTML button on their site which will allow their readers or customers to place a billed call to them. The number on the site is an Ether-provided 888-number, and forwards to the publisher's own phone number only after the user has agreed to pay the set rate.
According to Faber, the protection of the user's actual phone number allows the personal phone line to become an additional online marketing channel for service providers. "These are marketing channels that haven't existed before," he said. "With these protections, they can become a marketing channel, because of the protections."
Publishers can set any rate for their calls, and Ether takes a 15 percent commission, and pays all credit card processing and long-distance fees. In addition to fees, publishers can set the hours and days on which they can be called, and to what numbers the calls are forwarded.
The service, which was in closed beta since February 2006, is now available to any interested publisher.

Welcome to our Site for MG, Triumph and Austin-Healey Car Information.
MG MGB Technical - Engine making clicking sound
|Hi everyone
I have a strange clicking tinkling sound coming from my mgb engine, after having had it tuned on a rolling road, at about 2500 rpm, which disappears under acceleration. I have been told by a classic car restorer that it is not mains, big ends or piston slap, but rather is in the valve train. He then took £995 off of me to change the rocker shaft and camchain and tensioner, but no change in the sound. He now thinks that it may be worn valve guides - and it does burn a bit of oil on the overrun. He isn't getting another penny however! Any ideas from you clever folk as to what it might be?
Regards and thanks
|r j symons
|Worn fan grommets can make a - possibly - tinkling sound. Run it with the fan belt off and see what happens.
I've never heard of worn valve guides making a noise - smoke after a period on the overrun or idling yes. However if you get smoke *during* the overrun, then something is quite badly worn. Possibly also rings/bores, so do wet and dry compression tests as well.
Use a listening stick (long screwdriver) on the valve gear.
Diagnose, diagnose, diagnose before spending money. Especially with him ...
|Hi Rich, if you come down and say hello one day we would have a listen for you. I wasn't aware of any noises when you were on the dyno? You should have come back if you were worried you are always welcome. I can't see how it came to £995 to do r/shaft chain and tensioner.
Paul is spot on with worn grommets on the water pump pulley, they can be very clattery.
Another favourite is the spacers rattling in the K&N filters or even the heat shield vibrating or touching bodywork.
Test filter spacers with engine off and thunp top of filter plate with hand, usually, if loose you will hear a rattling sound.
|Peter Burgess Tuning
|Hi guys
Many thanks for your replies. Paul - I will have a look at those grommets when I get a minute, and many thanks for your advice! And Peter, nice to hear from you again - I will certainly pop down sometime to take advantage of your ears! It started to tinkle on the way back from the dyno session (nothing to do with you, I know!) and has got worse since. Still pulls well though. I have had to reconnect the engine breather to the carb stubs as the smell of hot oil vapour was a little too strong in the cabin for me! And no, I couldn't see how rocker shaft and camchain and tensioner would cost that much money either - never again!
Regards guys
|r j symons
Also have a tinckle at idle that goes as the revs rise, had a quick look last night after been out for a couple of hours and the carb overflow pipes are touching the back of the air filters. Need to have a look again and either shorten the flexi hose that connects the float chamber to the overflow pipe or fit some split hose to the pipe to prevent it touching.
Regards Rob
|R Dickinson
|The overflow pipes can be close to the backs of the filters. The end of mine are virtually touching the carb ports, which gives a 1/4" or so gap between the bend and the filter base. If yours are closer than that you can probably cut a bit off the end of the pipe as well as shortening the hose to allow the two ends to almost touch.
|Cheers Paul all done and sorted this morning another job fixed
|R Dickinson
|hi rich,
i had a simular noise from my b once. changed all the things you are talking about but still did not solve the problem.mine used to make a rattling noise as you changed up in every gear. did not find out what it was until i rebuilt another engine and put it in the car then stripped old one to have a look. the top piston ring on every piston was broke. don't know how or why but thats what it was ,.wasnt burning any oil.
regards bob.
|bob taylor
|To be honest Bob the rings usually break when you remove the pistons from the engine because of the wear lips at the top of the bore.

Except in the Unlikely Event of War
A probing exploration of art, politics and war, and the messy areas where they become indistinguishable. Except in the Unlikely Event of War is a dark satire that interweaves three distinct but thematically-linked narratives: a meta-theatrical story of a theatre company coming under fire as they produce a provocative political play, a futiristic glimpse of the politics of message control set in the Canadian Arctic, and a mid-1960s think-tank commissioned to study the true nature of war.
Except in the Unlikely Event of War is based on the controversial 1967 book "The Report from Iron Mountain: On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace", a chilling satire that was originally perceived as a top-secret leaked government report from a group of academics who had been commissioned to study society's transitition to a state of peace, but who concluded that war is in the best interest of a stable society.
Except in the Unlikely Event of War premiered in Vancouver in 2013 in a co-production with Pi Theatre and Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Theatre. The script was developed by Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Theatre and Pi Theatre.
Cast of 3 men (2 live + 1 on recorded video) and 2 women.

Waking Up To Reality
The question is whether the Cardinals woke up.
That was the message coach Ken Whisenhunt gave after Friday night's loss to the Packers, the one with the close score that hid the trouble behind it. Whisenhunt said he hoped it was a "wake-up call" and he obviously said the same to his players after the game; more than a few parroted the same phrase.
The benefit, of course, is that this all comes in the preseason. Two weeks remain before games that count, so if a team is going to be slapped across its collective face, better now than in October.
"It is a good thing it happened," safety Antrel Rolle said, "because now we know what we can look like if we don't take care of our responsibilities."
That look certainly isn't pretty.
No one was immune to criticism Friday. Whisenhunt made sure to say the issues began with the coaching, but the problems permeated almost everywhere. Defensive coordinator Bill Davis wants to focus on accountability, but even the players weren't feeling good about that progress Friday night.
"We had some guys that were playing hard and all out, and we had some guys that wasn't," defensive end Darnell Dockett said, adding "I can't say everybody competed, but I can't say everybody didn't compete. But I know everyone wasn't on the same page every play."
Linebacker Karlos Dansby called it a "back to the drawing board" moment. You'd hope it isn't that drastic.
It's a little different on the other side of the ball, but not without concern. Last week, quarterback Kurt Warner seemed unfazed at the starting offense's lack of touchdowns. Warner is fazed now.
Sure, some of the issues Friday Warner could credit to nice defensive plays by the Packers. He said he was just about to throw the ball cornerback Charles Woodson knocked away for a fumble, the one returned for a touchdown. The interception grabbed by Anthony Smith, Warner said, came on a nice play to race back when Warner thought he had Jerheme Urban open deep.

Stories on Stage: Dear Elizabeth
By Emilee Hatfield
There are times within theatre that can be crafted with pure admiration. Whether it be simplistic or complex, the rawness, the genuine rawness of theatre lingers within even the smallest detail. Once it is seen or felt it cannot be undone. After all that is the job of theatre. To convey stories in ways that sometimes cannot simply be said. They must be felt. This is what I feel Stories on Stage is accomplishing within their current works that are being performed throughout the Denver Metro/Boulder area.
This organization is a non-profit that strives to, "Engage audiences with dynamic and entertaining performances of short works of literature.Through the shared experience of live theater, we strive to inspire empathy and to break down boundaries between cultures and generations."
When seeing a reading of Dear Elizabeth on a cold Saturday Night at Nomad Playhouse, I believe their mission statement has been met with great success.
Now before going on there is a very sad truth to some works in theatre. They do not always make it to the stage.
Which is sad.
Some great works whether it be in the form of literature, a play or really just a topic of discussion that have not been seen or given the chance to truly shine. They need to be given a voice in a time where others would not allow it. That is what is being done here. Stories on Stage is giving that voice to these works. And in this case, it truly works with the play Dear Elizabeth.
The play is based on the letters between two poets, Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell and their complicated thirty year friendship. The story in itself is so ...interesting. The letters written between both them are intriguing to say the least. And Playwright Sarah Ruhl contributes such raw emotion that allows the audience to feel as if these letters were written not so long ago. Capturing the humanity of each poet with such empathy and compassion that one cannot help but grow fascinated by their words.
What also is wonderful is the two incredible actors Emily Paton Davies and Sam Gregory that never seem to stop. Their work is wonderful, their dedication to the craft is astounding. Even with something as simple as a dramatic reading of this play, there is a rawness of emotion that cannot be taught. Watching as they read the letters of Elizabeth and Robert is a strange mix of both hilarity and tragedy. But...isn't that what life is about?
It is never one or the other.
That is what I feel is so important about what Stories for Stage is doing. They are giving people of the Denver/Boulder area a time to hear works of literature or plays in a way that, while some can think is boring, to others means so much more.
The history of Stories on Stage goes further than just the current productions or the people that it brings in. These unique little productions or reads all began in 2000 with a pilot performance at the Acoma Center in Denver. What came next was the beginning of a foundation that create special shows at the request of citizens on topics of interest to our community. Whether it be something from the literary standpoint such Dear Elizabeth, or the topics that some just wish to explore, such as mental health, history of our nation, or even stories of different cultures. Stories on Stage is providing something that simply cannot be found nor is it something I have really come across in my time spent here in Colorado.
I was fortunate enough to see this wonderful dramatic reading of Dear Elizabeth, which was met with great applause by the audience and the joy of both Davies and Gregory along with myself. After seeing regional production in the area for over three years, I find Stories on Stage have a strong voice within the community, one that is giving individual voices not only to the works of literature that aren't always put on the stage in the area, but are requests from the people.
They are given a large choice in what they wish to see performed or read on stage which I think is a fabulous and an ambition way to present works and topics into a community.
Truly I will praise Davies and Gregory for days on end, their talent is tremendous and even watching them read from a script is a wonderful night of theatre. But the biggest statement that was made that on October 13th is this corporations dedication not only to the people of the Denver/Boulder area but to the community of theatre that is growing stronger each day within the Rocky Mountains.
Dear Elizabeth sadly was only a two night event, but if you wish to see what future projects that Stories on Stage will be performing or how some of your favorites local actors will be reading some of this great works this season please visit https://www.storiesonstage.org/2018-19-season.html
These are stories you are not want to miss.

Popeye is also a young , male cat. His birth date is 2015, aprox. He is a pretty blond and white cat.
He had also chances to be adopted, by a good family here, but finally, the young girl of the family, was afraid of him. He had to return back to the shelter
It was a big pity. Also, he tested positive for leukemia. He now lives at the shelter with other cats. Popeye was rescued last month , in a street of Albacete, dangerous and with lot of cars. He was saying hello to people, and finally, a person took him and brought to the shelter. Probably he was living in a home, because he was found clean, ears clean, good hair, etc. But no microchip, and no one asked about him. I attach his pictures, also when he was in the foster family.

Flying Helicopters
Simple Flight
If you want to be a helicopter ace, the first thing you'll need to do is to practice. Don't do this online, however; you'll wind up killing your passengers, getting cursed out by your teammates, and probably getting kicked off the server if you persist in captaining your doomed death-flights. No, the best place to try out helicopters is in a single-player, local multiplayer game. This sounds like a contradiction in terms, but what you're doing is essentially setting up a multiplayer server on your PC, except for the fact that you'll be the only player on it.
To do this, boot up Battlefield Vietnam, click on Multiplayer, then select Create Game. A number of options will become available. Set the Spawn Time and Game Start Delay to three seconds each, and make sure the options for Dedicated and Co-op aren't selected (there should be black squares next to them). After all this is set up, pick a map with helicopters, such as Operation Flaming Dart or Operation Hastings, add it into the levels menu via the orange arrows, and then select the Start Local option to begin the game. After it launches, you'll find yourself as the only person on the battlefield. Without bots or online opponents, you'll have ample opportunity to try out the helicopters without worrying about getting shot down.
Before you take your chopper up, though, you'll want to make sure that your control scheme is workable. If you've been using the default controls that the game originally set for you, then you shouldn't have any problems working a helicopter, but if you modified your movement keys at all, you'll want to make sure that the Speed Up / Speed Down keys in the Air tab of your Controls section correspond to the keys that you use to move forward and backwards for infantry and vehicles. The Rudder Left / Rudder Right controls should match up with your strafing keys for infantry, as well. After you have the controls set up properly, feel free to hop into a helicopter.
The first thing you'll need to do is get off the ground. The Speed Up key acts as a vertical boost for helicopters, so hold down your button until your chopper takes off. If you're not pressing anything else, and not moving your mouse around, it should shoot straight up into the air. After you're off the ground, let go of the button; your helicopter should hover in midair, with perhaps a slight amount of downward pull towards the ground. Luckily for you, though, this ability to hover is built into the helicopter physics; you don't need to press any buttons to activate it.
Of course, a helicopter wouldn't be any good if it couldn't move along the ground. There are two ways in which to move a helicopter forward. First, if you move your mouse forward just a tad, you should notice your chopper start to creep along the ground very slowly, while also losing a bit of altitude. This kind of coasting won't get you anywhere fast, but can let you center yourself above an object, which is helpful for winching tanks and hovering over flags. The quickest way to move, however, is to tilt the mouse forward and hold down your Speed Up button. Since you should be tilted off of the horizontal plane, your helicopter will essentially be using its altitude-increasing power to move forward. Experiment with this until you get the hang of speeding forward. In particular, you'll want to note how difficult it is to pull up after you've pointed your helicopter's nose too far forward; this effect alone should convince you to try and keep your helicopter on an even keel as often as possible, as it's very easy to wind up running into a tree or hill after you overexert your chopper in an attempt to strafe a tank or other ground target.
Rotating and Turning
Rotating your helicopter on its vertical axis is a fairly simple task; your strafe keys should perform this function admirably, letting you reorient your chopper towards a new objective. Rotating alone won't help you get to where you're going, however; you'll need to combine rotation with your mouse to eliminate the inertia that your chopper holds over from its previous path. These two forces act together in sometimes dangerous ways, so that it's easy to inadvertently hold down the wrong button for too long and wind up head over heels.
To begin with, though, take a helicopter up from the ground and let it hover, then hold down one of your Rudder Left or Rudder Right keys and notice what happens. The rotation of your chopper has a negligible impact on its altitude, and doesn't necessarily destabilize your flight. After you're done whirling around, try moving your mouse left and right; this causes your helicopter to bank in either direction.
Banking isn't very useful in and of itself, but it can help you stabilize your craft when rotating, especially when you attempt to rotate while moving forward. If you find yourself needing to quickly turn about, you can do so with the Rudder keys, but if you're zooming along with the Speed Up key, you should try to keep your helicopter on an even plane by moving the mouse to the opposite direction of the direction in which you're rotating. E.g., if you want to rotate towards a target on your left, move your mouse to the right. This should counteract the built-in banking that comes along with rotating at speed, thus letting you keep your chopper nice and level.
In the end, it'll be your handling of your mouse that will make or break your proficiency as a helicopter pilot; it's all too easy to panic when coming out of a turn and flip your chopper into the ground. Again, practice is the only way you'll ever get the hang of piloting, so keep trying!
Firing at Ground Targets
Most helicopters have built-in weaponry, usually in the form of dummy-firing missiles when you're in the pilot's seat. These missiles can be tremendously useful when attempting to take down enemy planes before they take off, or to destroy a sniper in the hills. Accurately aiming them requires, again, a bit of practice, but is one of the easier tasks to perform in a helicopter.
First off, you'll generally want to be a comfortable distance off the ground before firing your missiles, but not so high up that your viewing distance starts to retract in from the horizon. If you're flying along at a level altitude, moving your view so that you're aiming at an object moving along the ground shouldn't be very difficult, but if you're at a high altitude, or attempt to aim at something that's too close to you, you'll usually have to tilt your helicopter at an extreme angle, which generally leads to an unrecoverable, one-way trip straight into the ground. As a general rule of thumb, if a target is in the bottom third of your screen, you're probably better off ignoring it, or flying past it and rotating to come back over.
Try flying around one of the empty multiplayer levels and shooting at objects on the ground. You'll notice that you don't necessarily have to have something in your aiming reticule to hit it. In the same fashion that you have to lead an airplane when trying to hit it with shells from a flak cannon, you're going to have to lead objects that you want to hit when you're moving around, except that, in the case of firing from a helicopter, its your momentum that you have to account for, not the targets'. In either case, you'll want to aim a bit ahead of your target in order to compensate for the momentum that your helicopter will impart to your missiles as they travel towards their objective.
Hovering Over Flags
One of the things that separates the men from the boys when it comes to piloting a chopper is the ability to hover over a flag so that you can convert it without ever setting foot on the ground. One of the best places to practice this technique is on the Operation Hastings map, with the Temple flag (flag number three on our annotated map). This flag is set into a stone temple, and is well off the ground, making it a natural choice for hovering practice.
Before you can actually recover from a high-speed trip and enter into a hover, you'll need to learn techniques to sap your forward momentum. First and foremost, get in the habit of pulling your mouse backwards so that your ship faces above the horizon. You don't want to keep this up for too long, or pull your mouse so far back that your helicopter starts to tilt over backwards; as with all things, practice will inform your ability to bleed off forward momentum. You can combine this with the Speed Down button for extra control, but this will also reduce your altitude, which can sometimes require additional corrections later on, which isn't a good thing.
At any rate, after you sap off a bit of speed, your goal is to enter into a flat hover near the flag. Entering into a flat hover anywhere nearby is a good first step towards actually hovering over the flag; after you manage to hover, you can try to very gently tilt your mouse in the direction of the flag. Touch is key; hovering on a target requires precision and the ability to recognize that you've overshot your mark even before you've reached it. In particular, try to lay off the Speed Up button while you're moving in on a flag. Instead, just rock back and forth with the mouse until you're in position, increasing altitude only when necessary. The Temple flag on Hastings is more forgiving than most, since its well out in midair without many obstacles around it. If you can manage to convert it, though, you're well on your way towards being able to convert any flag in the game.
After you manage to convert the Temple, you should attempt to control one of the ground-based flags on the map. Hovering near the ground is a bit more dangerous than attempting to control one in mid-air, mostly due to the increased likelihood that an enemy soldier will start taking potshots at you, but you also have the ability to just land your chopper and sit inside of it while the flag converts. This is obviously a bit easier than maintaining a hover, and doesn't increase your risk of damage too greatly. The one thing you have to worry about is "special" attacks; if someone notices a helicopter sitting next to a flag, you can bet they'll put their Dynamite or C4 to use, if they have any. To counter this particular threat, you can land your chopper to stabilize it, then take off without moving the mouse so that you obtain a perfect hover. Go as high as you can without moving out of the flag control zone, and stay there, rotating around to spot any incoming enemies. This should prevent enemy infantry from mining your helicopter.
Winching Objects
The last, and most difficult skill that a helicopter pilot will need to learn is that of winching objects and airlifting them to distant locations. Only US choppers (except for the Cobra) are able to do this, via the secondary fire button in the pilot's seat.
If you've learned how to hover around a flag so that you can control it, you're well on your way to learning how to winch an object, although winching requires an even greater degree of technical precision than hovering does. To begin with, you'll need to enter into a perfect hover and align your helicopter so that forward motion will take you directly over the center of whatever object you're attempting to winch. (Sheridan and Patton tanks, PBR Boats, and mobile spawn points are all winchable.) Hit your secondary fire button to release the winch, and, while holding the button down, glide slowly over the top of your target. If you're moving slowly enough, you should see the red bar underneath your secondary weapon indicator start to change from red to yellow. After it's completely full, and you hear the winch lock on, you can let go of the winch button and start increasing your altitude. Whatever object you latched onto will be dragged along on the winch underneath your helicopter, but be forewarned that towing along anything extremely heavy, like a Patton tank, will prevent you from getting much altitude.
After you reach the location where you'd like to drop off your winched object, hit your secondary fire button again and it'll fall to the ground. A fall from a severe height will greatly damage a tank, mind you, so you'll want to hover down to the ground before unlatching. That's assuming you want the tank to survive its impact; it can be a lot of fun to try and bullseye infantry or enemy vehicles on the ground with random falling vehicles.
Repairing and Rearming
Since helicopters move so slowly, you're undoubtedly going to take more than your fair share of fire from the ground, which, in the case of fire from automatic weapons, is rarely immediately life-threatening, but can add up quickly, especially when a bunch of soldiers get in on the act. If you find yourself running below 50% health, you'll probably want to return to a helicopter pad to get yourself refitted.
On most maps, you can get repaired simply by returning to wherever you took off from. For the US forces, repair pads are generally small squares of pavement; landing on one of these will repair you quite quickly, and will refill your weapons to boot. For the NVA and VC forces, finding a repair pad is a bit trickier, as they're not obviously marked. If you remember where you took off from, that should be good enough; if not, look for a small, helicopter-shaped square of dirt that's surrounded by sandbags. If you can land inside one of these, you'll get all of the benefits of a normal repair pad.
Last, but not least, the helipad on the Tango ATC has all the capabilities of a normal repair pad. Of course, actually landing on it is nearly impossible, but in a pinch, you can attempt to merely hover above it; you don't actually have to land to get the benefits of repair.

I'm Thankful for Messiness!
If you hang around me for more than an hour, you will hear me say, "Life is messy, God is good. That's because an hour is about the limit of how long I can pull off pretending that I have it all together!
After that, I just have to admit that I'm a hot mess and I'm clinging to the hope that God is doing something in my life! ;-)
In all honesty, and a little seriousness, "Life is messy, God is good" sums up my deep theological beliefs formed over the past 30 years of trying to follow Jesus:
There are several key events in my life that shaped this philosophy. The first group of events comes from my own "messiness" as I try to follow Jesus while simultaneously having a "wild streak two counties wide". I'm easily bored, I'm incredibly sarcastic, I love edgy people and I am not very good at fitting in at church.
The messiness that this has caused in my life is enough to fill a couple of novels. And since this is a blog and my kids already pick on me for writing too much...let's just suffice it to say that I have wrestled with a lot of judgment from church people and it really bothered me. I'm even currently being shunned by a church which is pretty funny, I'm not sure how cutting off contact is supposed to help me see the grievous error of my ways, but OK...
In the middle of trying to fit in with church expectations, I sought God a lot. I prayed a lot. I cried, journaled, begged, whined and occasionally listened. In those moments when I listened, I learned that God is very good. He loves me and he is at work in my life even though it is sometimes (often) super messy.
A second group of events centered around my work with migrant workers in NC. I was completely shaken by the situations that people were living in right here in America. I was overwhelmed with the problems. I was disgusted by the lack of response from church people and I was mad at God for not fixing everything. It came to a head when I sat in a meeting about a teenage girl that was being severely abused. Because the girl was here illegally and we weren't even sure what her real name or age was, we decided that the best approach was to let her know that when she decided she wanted help, she could come to us and we'd help her. Otherwise, if we went in and started investigating, they would disappear and we'd have no way to find her.
It actually made me physically ill to face this situation. I could not reconcile her situation with what I was being taught in mainstream Christianity. There was nothing "positive and encouraging" in her story. It felt sad and hopeless. I could not see God anywhere in this situation. I prayed. I read Good News About Injustice1 and I pored through the Psalms. But all of the encouraging stories were about people doing big things and changing the world. I couldn't change one girl's story.
I did not yet understand the beauty of God working in the messiness of life. I thought he was going to step in and clean EVERYTHING up. I wanted everything in my students' lives to be fixed and to look like mine. Because I was so focused on everything needing to be fixed, I failed to celebrate all of the things that were getting better.
In the story of the one girl, I can look back now and see that it was incredibly awesome that she had hope for the first time in her life. She had a group of people that cared about her problems and would do anything in their power to help her when she developed the confidence to let them help. She is an adult now and I have lost touch with her. But I know that she got an education and I know that she is still surrounded by some amazing Christian people that are loving her the best they can.
The third set of events that shaped my "Life is messy. God is good" philosophy came from going directly from working with migrant workers in the mountains of NC to working in a private school in RI. Talk about culture shock!
In my work in NC, I had been working with students who were so poor that they showed up for school with flip flops on in the middle of December with snow on the ground because those were the only shoes they had. It was hard for me to switch gears and work up sympathy for moms who were struggling with paying the thousands of dollars for private school tuition (which I couldn't afford even with the employee discount!).
During my time at this school, I started using the term "the prep gospel" to describe what many of us in the American church culture actually want for our children. I use this term to describe the desire for our kids to be upper middle-class Americans with good morals and great social skills.
I was super judgmental and impatient with parents that I felt were too caught up in the "prep gospel". And I didn't know how to see God at work in wealthy people's messiness!
A lot of the parents that I counseled with during my brief stint in private school, were blind-sided when their children had problems. They felt like they had done everything right and sacrificed to put them in a school where they were learning all of the right things. I often struggled to work up sympathy because I felt like, "uhmmm welcome to reality, you aren't perfect and your children, trust me they are far from perfect!"
But deep down, they were struggling with the same problem that had me bedridden a few years earlier and I was too self-righteous to recognize it. They also needed to see God at work in the messiness of their lives.
And the fourth set of events centered around my family adjusting to life in Rhode Island. I quite crazily believed that because our insane path to Rhode Island began with us trying to be missionaries in Kenya, that God had these wonderful plans for us (that part was true) and life was going to get much easier! (that part was not so true...)
After a few months in RI, my husband and son were depressed, I was overwhelmed with my job and none of us had any friends. I also learned the surprising lesson that a lot of church people only have patience for about 3 months worth of your problems.
During month 4, I shared a prayer request and was told that I complained too much during a Bible study. The funny thing is that I had just been testing the waters with that prayer request to see if I could trust these ladies with my real problems. OOOPs, I guess not!
There have been many times in life that well-meaning (probably) church people have told me that if I was really following God, I wouldn't have whatever problem I was currently dealing with. I always kind of accepted their statements as true until this time, this time I knew better. I was following God. I made the biggest sacrifice of my life to follow God to RI (trust me, there is nothing bolder for a Southerner to do than move up North!) I was praying, I was reading the Bible. I depended on God, I asked him for strength and I was still struggling.... I knew it was OK for other people and I was Ok with certain struggles for myself: money, health, annoying people, etc, but I was not OK with intense relationship struggles in my family.
I look back on that time in our lives and I can see that God was at work. He was shaping all of us. He led my son (who was a pain in the butt!) into a ministry that he loves here in RI. He made my marriage stronger. He taught our family to step way outside of our comfort zone and we all grew. But it was a horrendous, difficult pile of messy messiness for a while and I didn't see God. Because, in my slightly better version of the prep gospel, we didn't have to have everything perfect, but our relationships were supposed to be untouchable.
In all of this, I have truly learned to love God more than ever. He was with me in all of these messes. He was working. He cares about every one of our messes. Our church culture often teaches us that when we follow Jesus, there won't be any more mess. The sad thing is: when we believe that, we walk around with blinders on and we miss the beauty in the mess. We miss seeing God at work.
And God has this really annoying yet amazing habit of making us deal with the truth and the truth that I'm learning is that life really is messy and God really is very good!
And yes, I'm thankful for all of the messes, because I see God the most clearly in them!
1 I didn't mean to sound negative about Good News About Injustice it's a great book that encouraged me to stand for justice. click here for more info

Johan Smit became a partner and shareholder in E.Coaches in January 2017 and his passion and drive further contribute to the phenomenal growth of the business.
At first our focus was on chauffeur services, but it gradually shifted to permitted vehicle rentals, which quickly began to comprise a large percentage of our service offering. As the demand for a reliable transport service in the Lowveld increased, so did the company expand on its fleet to accommodate this need.
Local tour operators utilize this rental service whenever they need a transport service or when they experience breakdowns. Start-up companies make use of E.Coaches vehicles until such time that they are able to acquire their own fleet. To this day this is still one of the company's primary functions.
E.Coaches' annual border permits also enable easy access to neighbouring countries, taking the hassle out of the transportation of tourists to these countries.
Our team of drivers and guides currently comprise 12 permanent employees, all nature lovers and game changers in their field. Employees submit to strict criteria and intensive training as the safety of clients and excellent service delivery are high priorities within the company.
- Pick-ups of internationals tourists to the country, and to the Kruger National Park, specifically, from Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, KMIA in Mbombela, Skukuza Airport, Hoedspruit Airport and Maputu.
- Luxury chauffeur/charter services to corporate entities, ranging from a few passengers to groups as large as 300.
- Provision of transport for special events such as weddings, birthday celebrations and year-end functions within the Lowveld.
- Panorama Route day tours with collections from as far as Hoedspruit and Malalane.
- Permitted-vehicle rentals with qualified tour guides to tour operators with drop-offs at Oliver Tambo and King Shaka International Airport in Durban. Vehicles utilised for this service include Quantums, Fortuner SUVs and Corrola sedans. Regrettably, 21-seater coaches are excluded from this service.
- Sub-contracting of open-safari vehicles and semi-luxury and luxury coaches (21-seaters).
- Providing transport services to luxury tour- and wheel operators in time of need.
The E.Coaches fleet comprises of:
- Five 19-seater Iveco-coaches
- Six 13-seater Toyota Quantums
- Three 5-seater Toyota Fortuners
- Three Toyota Corollas.
These vehicles all have minimal branding and come standard with aircon, reclining seats and CD players. When needed, trailers are provided. The mini- and midi-coaches are all equipped with PA systems. There is 24/7 live tracking on the whole fleet.
Vehicles in the fleet are never older than 3 years and are covered by liability insurance. They also have cross-border and road-carrier permits. Toyota has proven itself over the years as a durable, value-for-money, and comfortable vehicle brand, enabling the company to offer exceptional luxury transfers at reasonable rates. The Iveco coaches has been added to the fleet for their exceptional legroom.
All vehicles undergo regular safety checks, as recommended by the manufacturers, during which legal protocol is followed.
- Personalised meet and greet at the airport with feedback forms.
- Bottled water for clients.
- Experienced and knowledgeable drivers and driver guides.
All drivers are permanently employed staff members to ensure compliance to the basic rules and ethos of the company and minimize the need for freelance drivers.
- Drivers are clearly identifiable by their black-and-white uniforms and name tags. It also sets them apart from the regular khaki attire worn by tour-operator employees.
- All drivers have valid code 10-licences, PDPs and passports, making last-minute cross-border trips a breeze. Specialized language guides are subcontracted where necessary.
- Their friendly demeanour and punctuality put us in a class of our own. Drivers arrive 30 minutes prior to collection to allow for any eventuality.
- Drivers are equipped with Smartphones and Bluetooth ear sets as prescribed by law.
- Specialized in-house driver training: Years of experience in the industry enabled management to identify shortfalls in the service. This lead to the inception of the E.Coaches Training Programme – a three-week general knowledge induction course. Although this is not a registered course, it aims to contribute to client's general experience. The objective of this course is to enable drivers to engage in a general two – to three-hour insightful dialogue with clients about the area and its offerings. Drivers who complete the course are assessed and a pass rate of 85% is compulsory before they can progress to practical training.

Downtown Main Street
Note: Cindy Higgins compiled the following information. In 2012, the city installed 13 bronze signs on Eudora's downtown buildings with funding from the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council. Ben Terwilliger, a University of Kansas graduate student working for the city of Eudora, prepared the signage contents. Also in 2012, Dale Nimz and Susan Ford inventoried some historic structures downtown with others in Eudora Township through a grant from Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council.
North of Burlington Northern-Santa Fe railroad tracks: C.J. Achning Grocery, (1870-?) shown to left also may have been the two-story frame building here on lots 3, 18, and 19 in Block 143 used as a bakery by the Spietz family before 1900 and a dwelling by the John Everley family and Olive Strachen in early 1900s.
The Schleifer restaurant and grocery (1860s-1892) also was north of the railroad tracks on Main Street. Louis Moll ran a bakery and confectionery in the former Schleifer building from 1893 to 1895.
530: Presently owned by Richard and Janet Campbell for use as crop storage and Hi-Tech Antifreeze Recycling, this property, which was built closer to Elm Street than Main Street, was the Eudora Feed and Grain (also known as Farmers Elevator, Farmers Union Co-op, and Farmers Co-op Elevator) from 1918 to 2003 with the Eudora Mills, formerly known as Jewett Milling Company and Eudora Milling Company, built in 1886, directly east. Earlier, a different building housed Oscar Bradford's warehouse (1908-), Phenicie grocery (1894-1901) (although another report says Ras Phenicie, who died in Indiana in 1916, left Eudora in 1896), and Gufler House (grocery and bar) (1860s-1892). When this house with a store in front was razed, its lumber joined with "old style, cut nails" was said to be in "perfect preservation" by a 1937 The Eudora Weekly News article. Farmers Elevator used its wood to build its coal sheds and a warehouse.
Southeast corner/Seventh Street and Main Street: Built in 1860, Eudora's first school was here until 1866, when it became City Hall. The present building was built in 1956. A stone building was next to "city hall" in 1889, according to a new item.
12 E. 7th, between Elm Street and Main Street on Seventh Street: Now an extenstion of Eudora City Hall, the [Jim Rawte's] Blacktop Construction and Paving (1995- 2005?) and [Jim Reese's] Eudora Auto Trim (1974-1994), 30-by-40-foot metal building, stands here on the site of several past businesses. The 30-by-40-foot metal building at Seventh Street next to Eudora City Hall was built in 1974 to house Eudora Auto Trim upholstering business owned by John Reese. For example, the building that burned in 1966 once was Cue and Paddle Club, Southern Baptist Church, Dr. Leo Lauber's office and laundromat, office of chiropractors Dr. Swift and Dr. Snyder, a first grade classroom, Eudora Cash Hardware (1945-1947), and Victory Theater (1943-1953). William Trefz, Jr. had a tinshop in this location that was bought by P.O. Beem, Phillipsburg, in 1911 who also bought E. C. Whitten's hardware store the same year and operated them about a year before selling to George Vaile or Vale, from Fall Leaf. Before Beem and Trefz was Robert Gabriel, Gus Fiehler, and Carl Durr and Berthhold Durr, his brother, who bought John Brender's hardware store in 1895; by 1897, the Durr brothers were running the implement and hardware operation. John and F. L. Brender tore down an old, earlier building in 1892 and put up a new one for blacksmith work and hardware sales. Herman White, a tinsmith, worked with the Brenders until 1894. C. L. Fuller, Topeka, bought the business in 1912, unaware that the other hardware dealer in town had the same last name. Fuller sold mostly implements at his Eudora Hardware Company and had a large warehouse on the northeast part of the building with an Elm Street entrance for tractors. Son Clarence operated the business until 1939 when Keith Starr bought and ran it before it became the Victory Theater.
Hubert ("Funny") Woodard opened a garage in the room east of C.L. Fuller's hardware store in 1929. Elmer Ziegler Garage (1935-1937) operated closer to Elm Street on the north side of Seventh Street, too. It was housed adjacent to the former Zimmerman blacksmith and hardware shop. Jack Hawkins and Bert Hawkins had a garage here in 1945, which was taken over Dan Davis (1946-1947). Harold Morley built a garage in 1955 and sold it in 1976. The Eudora City Council voted in 2005 to buy the buildings at this site.
700: BLK 145 LT 1 [includes 700 and 702] Charles Lothholz put a foundation in on this site in early 1896 for his bank, but didn't start constructing his impressive red pressed brick building with buff colored water table midway until 18 months later. Built for the Kaw Valley State Bank, which operated in the north part of the first floor, and a general store in the south and a basement barber shop, this 100,000 brick building (with water initially channeled by compressed air) now encompasses the corner section, a unit to the east, two to the south (701 1/2, 702), and a private residence upstairs that was originally the Lothholz Opera House (also known as Lothholz Hall that operated until the 1930s). The opera hall, lit with acetylene gas lights as the rest of the building, had an 8-foot by 30-foot stage with 300 seating capacity. Its motto was Protum Transimus Oceanus Prae Nos Patet ("We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.") Later, the space housed professional offices, for example, those of J.G. Lee, physician, and J. H. Duffy, dentist, in 1915 and dentist L.C. Cox in 1925, and even classrooms in 1918 when the new high school didn't open on time. Before the bank was built, an "unsightly" frame building that extended into the alley here housed the Eudora Elevator Company office (1892), John Hagenbuch notary public service, (1892-?), and Schubert furniture store (1881 to around 1890) and earlier, Christian Fischer operated a tin shop and furniture store here a few years until 1881. Slightly east was Schubert and Meineke Coal Company, and, in 1889, Kraus & Abels bought the coal business of P.D. Meineke after his death. In recent years, the former bank area has housed the law office of Amy Durkin (2009- ); Madame Hatter's Tea Room (opened in 2002 by Thomas and Lauren Smith and bought Nov. 1, 2004, by Bonnie Freeland, Shawnee, and Susan Orscheln, Lenexa; closed 2009); Westminister Tea Room (Oct. 2001- 2002); Traditions furniture store (1999-2002); three video stores [the first one opened by a Linwood couple, then Darren and DeAnn Howell and Wrights, and, in 1997, Terri and Roger Rose) video rental and arcade (circa1996-1998); dental clinic; Community Baptist Church; [Delmar Alpers'] The Key restaurant (1970s); and [Keith Murphy's] Gilded Cage tavern (1961-1966) later moved, to eastern outskirts of Tenth Street to former slot car manufactory, etc. The basement housed other businesses such as Fred Ziesenis, Jr. shoe shop (1942-1946), Groves Café (1918-1919), George Fullers' pool hall and barber shop (circa 1908), and Tarleton & Smith billiard hall (circa 1903). Northeast section of 700: Currently not used as a store area, it used to house Diana Breithaupt beauty salon (1990-1996), ice cream parlor (circa 1980s), [Helen Everley's] antique store (1980s), and a grocery (early 1900s). 700 1/2: Entrance to residence. 702/704: This area has been used by Indie Olive (stationary press) (2014- ); Curves, a fitness franchise that focuses on 30 minute workouts (October 2006-2009); HomeTown Dollar general store (owner Genny Rose, 2004-2005); Custom Frame Cart framing service (2003); Broers flower shop (1983-2001); Starlight Tavern (1970s); post office (1920s-1962); confectionary (circa 1912); Joseph Schopper's shooting gallery "first door south of Kaw Valley bank" (1911); and E.L. Cooper watchmaking ship (circa 1909 as seen in this photograph). Others in this building but exact location unknown, include: Elmer Everely's barber shop (1928-1941), George Wolf's dentist office (1940-1950), Bernice Wilson beauty shop (1941-1951), Frank Martin's restaurant (1950-1952), Clarence Williams' watch repair and jewelry shop (1950s), Fern Reusch's Mimi's Fabric Ship (1967-1969), and Kenneth and Sharon Lawson beauty shop (1977-1978).
706: BLK 145 LT 2 The Hammert Building has housed[Mary Kirkendoll] Yoga Center (2015- ); Pennie Annie's Sweet Shop (2011-2013); Family Memories, a scrapbook supply store, owned by Barb Burkart and her mother, Sandi Roberts (2004); and previously Judy's Gifts (1999-2001), Salvage Outlet (1990s); donut store (1980s); Robert Hilt cabinet shop (opened in 1975); Gra-Mor Cabinet Shop (1972-1974) owned by Lester Grazier; [Aileen Wallace] The Wardrobe clothing store (1968-1969);[Pat Eisenbarger] Pat's Dress Shop; (1967-1968); [Elva Ruth O'Berg's] Eudora Fabric Store (1965-1967 who bought from Mrs. John Reusch who operated it in 1963 directly across the street where the store was until 1965; the O'Bergs bought their building in 1963 from Ernest Papenhausen and John Cairns and their wives); [William] Ziesenis Confectionery (1909-1950) (Ziesenis bought the building in 1916 and C. B. Johnson had a medical office over the store in the 1920s); post office (1909); James Milburn and Will "Hoppy" Ziesenis confectionary (1908-1909); Mote Jamison confectionary (1906-1908); J. Milt "Smike's" Tarleton confectionery and cigar stand (1893-1906) [note: these two confectionaries were said to be two doors south of Kaw Valley Bank]; and Bernhard W. Hammert drugs, cigar, tobacco, and stationery. Hammert, the husband of the Marfilius' adopted daughter, Anna Christina, sold his drug store contents to Homer White in October 1893. This building was built before 1873, probably by Casper Marfilius. His wife, Maggie, who married John Hammert after Casper's death, in 1875 operated a saloon here with a possible 704 address. There was a well in basement to chill the beverages. One account says she ran the saloon until 1897, which makes the operation concurrent with Hammert's. 706 1/2: Entrance to private residence. In 1922, a newspaper mention said Grant Edelbrock lived between "Billy Ziesenis restaurant and Home Bakery." A fire gutted the building November 26, 1977. It also was the last storefront on Main Street to have a wooden canopy, which was removed in the 1950s.
Retaining wall: No record or mention of a building at this site.
708: The razed three-story "White Building" that used to contain James Lenahan real estate and insurance (1956-1958; Ernest Weixeldorfer television and repair (1951-1957); Don Joslin television and radio repair (1948-1951); Elmer Everley's barber shop (1926-1929); [J.G. Hofacker's] Home Bakery (1923-1924); [Bill Willey's] Home Bakery (1923-1923); and Bett's Blue Ribbon bakery, also known as the Home Bakery (1909-1923); and probably Homer White pharmacy (1893-1903) before moving to 711 Main. Homer was the son of David White, who had a pharmacy here (1880-1893). The upstairs did serve as offices from time to time. For example, Dr. Butel had his offices there in 1911. [Note: T. L. Haelsig had a shop around here in 1890, because it was located three doors south of Kraus and Abel; however, that company was located near the east alley and not really on Main Street. A May 22, 1969 Eudora Enterprise article said it also contained a tavern at one time and was an eyesore and taxes hadn't been paid on it since 1957; interior photographs showed debris and severe damage from vandals and non-repair.
710: BLK 145 S 1/2 LT 3 (DIV 2000 E02277A) Fred Rothberger built a 75-foot building here in 1926 for a Chevrolet automobile agency auto parts storage; and later extended it to alley Since then, the building has been used by Eudora Relics (antiques) (2001- ), [Leland and Jane] Massey's Flea Market (1999- 2001), Coast to Coast Hardware (1945-1998), and William Schopper drycleaner (1934-1935).
714: BLK 145 LT 4(DIV 2000 E02277A) The 1873 Atlas of Douglas County shows Asher Cohn with a building on Lot 4, and abstracts show he sold the property to Aaron Hill in 1882. Cohn had a department store from at least 1860s (maybe even 1854) to 1880. The Cohn family lived on the third floor and moved to Lawrence around 1900. Aaron L. Hill, a Quaker born in Guilford County, North Carolina, established the Gardner, Hill, & Company general merchandise store on this site with P. Gardner and W. Davis on January 1, 1880. Gardner, Hill, and Company (1880-1909) housed groceries to the left and dry goods on the right with Mr. Mitchell selling coal back of the building circa 1890. Eudora Cash Shoe Store moved into the store in 1892. Miss Specks dressmaking service (1892-?), Tena Smith's dressmaking parlor around 1900, The Eudora News (1910-1920), and Mattie Keroher's millinery (1911) operated upstairs. Alice Ogle also had a shop upstairs; she made dresses there in the 1880s. The store changed owners three times in five months after it was bought by W.W. Arnold of Kansas City in 1909, then H. M. Kemper, and, a few months later, C. B. Mason, who named it the Eudora Department Store (1909-1911). A look back from the present shows: [LaDonna Russell] Stable System Solutions (computer installation and repair); Broers Broers Flowers (2001- 2006), [Leland and Jane] Masseys' Main Street Flea Market (1998-1999); Coast to Coast hardware operated from this building and the connecting 710 Main building (1977-1990s), [Gary and Betty Vermillion] Market Basket Grocery (1972-1977), Merlin's Eisenbarger's Hy-Klas Grocery (1968-1972), [Glen Wilson, Joe Hargrave, Howard Wilson, and Jack Howard owned this grocery in changing partnerships with each other during 20-year span] Hy-Klas grocery (1946-1968) (also known as Clover Farm Store in 1948 when groceries were still part of the Eudora Department Store); J.D. Kuhn Department store and the Eudora Department Store owned by Carl Lotz and George Schubert (October 11, 1911-1949) with J.D. Kuhn, a founding partner, also.
720: BLK 145 LT 5 J. A. Seybold owned this site and built a stone building on the north that connects to brick building on the south in 1883. Seybold Hardware (1870s-1887) was bought by W. A. Fuller in 1888, which Fuller operated there a few years before (see here in the photograph) moving to the southwest corner of Eighth Street and Main Street. John Schubert used the building from 1892 to 1897. The post office took over Schubert's space and was mentioned being here in 1916. The Warsop livery barn was said to in the north part in early 1900s. William Trefz Jr. tin shop (until 1925) then Herman Trefz Plumbing, Heating, and Electric (1925-1962), and later [Fred] Trefz Plumbing (until the 1990s) also occupied the building, which used for storage after that time. The upstairs probably was used for offices and apartments, for example, Dr. C. B. Miller and Dr. Mary Miller had an office upstairs in 1923. In 2015, the Eudora Community Museum opened here.
724: BLK 145 N 20 FT LT 6 This brick 20-foot by 60-foot, one story building with a metal roof, was erected in 1915. It replaced an earlier building known as the Epple Building in which J.W. Caldwell (and son as of 1888) had the City Barber Shop (1880-1895) and employed Charles Arndorf before the Caldwells moved to Kansas City to open a barber shop there. Solon Ellis (1895-early 1900s.) also had a barber shop in this former building. When the Trefz Variety Store (1915-1976) closed, the building was vacant for many years. In more recent years, Robert Musick had a carpentry shop here (1990s); Seasons (2001) sold gardenware here for a spring and summer; Pat Trefz had antiques with Wendy Gish at
Home Again Interiors, L.L.C, and The Nookery

728/734: BLK 145 S 1 FT LT 6, ALL LT 7 &N 30 FT LT 8 (E02281,84 & 85 COMBINED 1988) In 1898, Louis Moll bought a 25-foot strip of land from Henry Ziesenis "next to the AOUW," to build a 30-feet deep, brick blacksmith shop for Fred Moll (1898-1910), a blacksmith, who lived "two doors down" with his wfe, Anna (Herz). Later that year, Moll added footage for a wagon repair store. Joe Zillner had a blacksmith here, too (1917-1930s. The building with the address at 730 Main Street was moved in 1917 to Elm Street. Fred Ziesenis (tailor) (?-1917) was in the north building and to the south, Charles Schuricht's shoe repair (1889-1917). Originally, Zillner & Herz blacksmith shop (1870s), this address also was a blacksmith during the 1880s.
In April 2005 Matt Montgomery and Tina Lencioni opened Custom Crafted Cycles in this location with a 729 Main address and moved to a new location in 2014. Tim and Anita Mitts opened the Filling Station home décor store in 2014. An addition at 730 shares a wall and was built in 1947 for Eudora Cash Hardware (1947-1959). Also located here was Frank's Automotive Parts (1959-1961), Troup Bookkeeping and Tax Service (circa 1968); Herb Miner Welding and Bargain Center (1960s-early 1990s) that took up all the building space units, Squeezer's juice bar (1994), and Miller & Midyett Realtors (1995-2005). 732 L. J. Roller, owner of Eudora Sanitary Bakery, built a small building here for a bakery that also housed Saye Tea Room (circa 1948-1958); Robert Williams' beer parlor (1935); and Albert Winters' beer parlor (1932-1934); and Eudora Home Bakery that was moved here to the "Zillner property" and had several owners, including A. Hofaker (1924-1924) and E. Zollikofer, (1924-1924) E.R. Vogel, (1924-?), A. M. McClain (1929-?), Dorman Lady, and Henry Lentz in between 1923-1934. This building had a severe fire in 1929. 734 Oscar (Dobbin) Clark lived in a small structure north of 736 Main Street during the 1960s and 1970s. Also here was Ray Ogden real estate and insurance (1936-1955); Lenahan real estate; and Charlie Richards real estate and law office (1887-1930s). This may have been home built by Joseph Herz in 1859 and used for his cabinetmaking and undertaking in 1880s. Mention of this building built by Herz was made in 1936 news article.
Daugherty's cream business (1920s); Kenneth Cooper's shoe repair shop; Fred Ziesenis Jr. shoes and repair (1916-1918 and ?-1942); Dr. C.B. Miller's office (1918-1921); and Eudora Pantatorium drycleaners (George Trefz, circa 1915) also were in this location or have been here or close by.
736 BLK 145 LTS 9 & 10 & S 20 FT LT 8 (E02286,87,88 & 89 COMBINED 1988) Shown on the 1873 Douglas County map here in the lot 9 was the J. Paxlettner building that extended to the east and the J. Herz building hugging the northeast corner of Eighth Street and Main Street in lot 10, but this corner in the past typically housed more than one building. Also here in the southwest corner was Combest Grocery and restaurant (opened in 1923); Schmoe and Hutton bought the former Combest restaurant. This building had a residence and apartments upstairs (until fire in 1932). Combest built an addition to his store on the north side to close the gap between it and the Carter-Smith building in 1929. In this structure or nearby was a barber shop (1903-1920), J.H. Duffy's dental office (circa 1915), John Burns' pool hall (1912-?), Dr. Schellack's office (c .1880-1915); J. M. "Smike" Tarleton lunch counter (1892-1893; Schroeder grocery (1880s), Buck's saloon with many caves and cellars, and the George and John Andreas store (circa 1860). In 1899, a crosswalk was made on Eighth Street between the butcher shop and "Schroeder's Corner." A wooden fort said to be a defense against Indians was in the alley for decades and built around 1860. H. O. Woodard Ford Agency erected the present 25-foot by 100-foot building in 1917 on the north side of these attached buildings. Now in this building and one to south stands Quilting Bits and Pieces (2001-); Coast to Coast Hardware (1997-2001); C&S Market owned by Bryan Chumbley, Julia Chumbley, John Simpson, and Jeff Simpson (1992-1996); [Gary and Betty Vermillion] Market Basket grocery (1977-1992); Leland "Pete" Lawson and Ray Warmker garage (1960-1975); Oscar and Homer Broers garage (1958-1960); Rothberger Motor auto sales (1936-1958); and H.

Inc., which closed in 2010 as a beef jerky manufactory, was in this location since 1859 and has been in this location since 1959 and used to have livestock livestock pens to the south for its slaughterhouse. For more than a hundred years, butchers have carried out their trade in stores and even stands. Its occupants include George Bichelmeyer meats (1940-1959), Abner Henley meat market (circa 1938-1940) (building destroyed by fire in mid 1930s), Bert Daugherty, who added a 24' x 60' brick tile store room in 1925, stored poultry in back and grocery in front ]; and Meriden Cream Station to south (bought in 1921).

Heinrich had a building here before 1870 and another Heinrich had one here around 1900.
