Gimmeme Five!
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Heavens, I can't remember what I was doing 10 minutes ago, but I'll give it a stab. (Bear in mind I'm 40, so anything I contend to recollect merely proximates the truth.) Hmmm...That would be Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Seven. Now let... me... see... Oh, oh yes, here's a moment that encapsulates the desperation of the entire summer of '97.
Actually, this month marks the 10th anniversary of a strangely monumental day in my life. That day, I stared newfound independence (and the limitations of my bladder, but we'll get to that part in a bit) dead in the face with a mixture of hope and terror.
Up until that summer, I'd always dwelled among family, college roommates, or with my husband. But that year my young marriage was withering, I was separated from my husband and staring down the barrel of a divorce, living hours from my parents and sister. Apart from a few casual friends from work, I was on completely my own in metropolitan Atlanta. Returning to my hot apartment late in the day July 3rd, I changed from my work suit into shorts and a tanktop, and flopped down in front of the TV to polish off my newly adopted single-woman's dinner of a quarter of an ice cold watermelon. On the evening news, local reporters hawked a plethora of pre-holiday concerts, parades and festivities all over the city. I'd no plans to attend these or any other such celebrations... I really couldn't contemplate the idea of seeking any sort of new companionship now, after so many years of having a guaranteed "date" everywhere I went. And I wouldn't be spending time with my family since I only had the holiday off and was due back at work bright and early on the 5th.
After getting my fill of news, I went through my usual docket of evening duties: scooping the cat litter, checking the mail, and heading out onto the balcony to water a dejected pot of flowers that was quickly giving up the ghost in the summer heat. Now, though I lived inside the city limits of Atlanta and spitting distance from downtown, my balcony, three stories up, protruded over a deep and densely wooded ravine. I had always loved that I could drive (or ride the train) a few minutes out of Midtown's booming business district - busy streets lined with skyscapers, museums, bars and restaurants - and be at home in what seemed like the wilderness. On that balcony I could neither see nor hear (beyond the distant rumbling of the 16-lane highway that bisects the city) anything that belied my proximity to a major urban hub. I'd sat for hours on that balcony, contemplating my marriage, my life experiences, my dreams, my heartache... everything... and I'd always done so uninterrupted by any other human soul. I was alone in an isolated treehouse in the sky, and until today, the aloneness had served me well.
Stepping out onto the wooden floor of the balcony, I quickly turned to close the door to prevent the cat, a proven escape artist and daredevil, from exiting behind me and shimmy-ing up or down from our forest perch, onto the roof or into the ravine. I'd no desire to spend the waning hours of daylight and dusk plodding around outside trying to locate an illusive and very very adventurous kitty. Sure enough, he'd seen the door open and bolted at top speed toward me, his eye on freedom. I quickly (all too quickly) grabbed the handle and slammed the door shut with such force it jarred loose the safety bar on the inside of the door. I observed the bar falling across the track of the door in scary slow motion, rendering me a virtual prisoner on my own treetop perch, three stories up, looking back at the cat, who, unharmed, meowed at me with unshrouded indignance and ire in his green eyes. After apologizing to the cat, I began to contemplate my own precarious situation. I was high above solid ground on a wooden balcony overlooking a ravine full of spindly pines, scrubby thornbushes, and a conservatively estimated four hundred and eleventy million thirsty mosquitoes. (You'll harken back to it being July. In Atlanta.) At my disposal on the balcony were two pots of wilted red impatiens, two black wrought iron chairs and a rusted bistro table, one bladder already beginning to whimper about the half-gallon of watermelon juice flooding the plumbing, one tank top and one pair of shorts and about 3 cubic miles of exposed skin. I was barefoot and already beginning to sweat, and as I gazed about and took stock, I realized in an instant, this here was a predicament of prodigious proportions.
Thanks to my newly found independence, I pondered, there was NO ONE ON THIS WHOLE PLANET, (much less within shrieking distance) who would notice at all if I remained stuck on that balcony until the day after tomorrow. My soon to be ex would assume, even if he called (which he wouldn't) the apartment and didn't get an answer, that I was out having fun somewhere. Same with anyone in my family. None of my co-workers would call. I couldn't call anyone... the phone was inside and although I'd made several serious attempts using peanut butter and masking tape, I hadn't been able to train the cat to dial it. So, basically, I could quite possibly be discovered oh, maybe 48 hours from now, the hovering mosquitoes having long ago syphoned off the last few drops of my blood. I'd have spent my final living and functional moments peeing out 2 liters of watermelon juice and scrawling out a meaningful elegy on the glass door using only my feeble fingertip and a paste of dehydrated impatiens petals. The other side of the door would be smeared and dotted with cat snot and pawprints from the nose and feet of the cat who would still be glowering at me over foiling his plans for escape. If he had made it outside, I considered ironically, as I stood there still alive, I could have written a note pleading for help for his mistress (who could be found hopping up and down, crosslegged and scratching herself like she had a catastrophic flea infestation, right around here behind this building... yes yes, up there, on that third floor balcony, behind those dead flowers!) and tucked it into his collar, and perhaps have been rescued without having to do what I DID eventually decide rather piteously that I had to do, which was to begin to WAIL (because to simply shout would not have conveyed the urgency I felt about this whole situation), HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEE! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!! HEEEELP OH HEEEEEEEELP! I knew that as the evening wore on, fewer and fewer of the single, hip youngsters inhabiting the complex with me would all be gone soon, partying it up at any or all of the events I'd heard hyped just moments ago while I was eagerly horking down the watermelon whose juice was now backed up past my eyeballs. To commence the caterwalling expeditiously was crucial to my survival. As I keened pathetically into a dusky hollow of boughs, branches and thicket, I felt the aching aloneness of my present life and wondered fleetingly if the future would be worth survival, anyway.
Moments later, I believe no more than 7 moments, I heard footsteps through the scrub below. From around the corner crept a youngish guy, my age or a little younger, looking up. I peered over the railing, sheeplishly. And thus began my physical rescue - moments later I was back in my home in a hot bath, having hastily liberated the watermelon juice inundating my lower regions, the whole ordeal having lasted just over an hour. Emotional rescue was longer in the making - my heart foundered in the wilderness of confusion and disillusion for half a decade. Ask me where I was 5 years ago and hear a considerably more providencial tale, full of redemption and miracles. Another day, another post.

You, my dear, are an excellent writer! I am enjoying your blog so much!ReplyDelete
And I'm awful about returning phone calls.
this here was a predicament of prodigious proportions.ReplyDelete
Perfect! I will now be stealing this phrase from you and plunking it down in everyday conversation, and my friends will think I am ever so witty and wise for coming up with such an alliterative and charming little phrase!
Ask me where I was 5 years ago and hear a considerably more providencial tale, full of redemption and miracles. Another day, another post.
I will be holding you to this!
I also would love to have Stacy and Clinton on payroll. Yes, fine by me!
Megan, if it were me out on that balcony, the front door to my apartment would be locked. How did your rescue go? Was the door unlocked? A hidden key? Did that stranger have to go get a key from the manager? Did he stay long after he let you back in?ReplyDelete

You had to delete a comment? I'm curious but I won't ask. Not really. ;)ReplyDelete
So.. what were you up to 5 years ago? Because you know. We HAVE to know now.
I can't believe I picked THIS weekend to be internetless most of the time, when you posted so much. I am behind, argh!

HOUGHTON - The season is winding down for Copper Country skiers and snowmobilers, but there are still opportunities to hit the trails and the slopes if you know where to go.
Article Photos
Dan Roblee/Daily Mining Gazette
Melissa Mack, a member of Michigan Technological University's Nordic ski club, heads out for a glide along the Michigan Tech Trails Monday. Tech's trails are still in very good condition.
For skiers, the "wheres" and "whens" are pretty clear cut, as long as they're willing to check the trail report. For snowmobilers, finding a safe and legal place to ride can be more difficult.
According to John Mattila of the Department of Natural Resources Baraga office, grooming on all state snowmobile trails ended March 31, as did easements for snowmobile trails running on private land. Some private property may now be gated, but it's the riders' responsibility to stay off regardless, he said, noting that riding illegally on private land constitutes trespassing, and could result in ticketing or worse.
"With the private landowners giving permission for the season, it would be common courtesy to protect that private property," he said. "All it would take is one landowner to shut it down for the following year, and lose the whole trail system."
As long as there's snow, it's still legal to ride on state-owned land, such as the railroad grade that runs from Mass City to Calumet, Mattila said.
There are also a few privately managed trails, such as those the Valley Snow Drifters snowmobile club handle from Dollar Bay to Dreamland, Rice Lake and Mud Lake. Drifters member Neil Marietta said the club has stopped grooming, but that riders can still use the trails.
Those trails are still in excellent condition, he said and will likely remain so as long as nighttime temperatures stay below freezing. Shaded areas also hold up better.
Without groomers staying on top of conditions and hazards, riders need to be especially careful, Marietta said.
"I would tell them to travel at a much slower speed than at the peak of the winter," he said. "There could be a washout across the trail, or a tree that would have been taken care of by the groomer. If you're going too fast and you hit a washout you're going to be wearing a maple tree."
For Alpine, or downhill skiers, this Saturday will be the last day Mont Ripley will be open, and the hill is closed for the remainder of the week until then. The Porcupine Mountains Ski Area outside Ontonagon will be open this Friday through Monday, and is holding out slim hopes for Easter Weekend, depending on snow conditions.
Mount Bohemia in Lac La Belle remains open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, however, and Bohemia president Lonie Glieberman says he hopes to stay open until May 4.
"We had our second biggest crowd of the year on Saturday," he said. "We go until we're out of snow usually."
Glieberman said the hill's layout is well suited to spring skiing, with lots of runs that stay shady on warm spring days. "If it gets too soft in the front, at Mount Bohemia we just ski the back side," he said.
On the Nordic, or cross-country front, there's still plenty of good skiing, but time of day, proper waxing and keeping a careful eye on the trail report are all keys to an enjoyable excursion. Several trail systems have stopped grooming for the year, and the Chassell trails and a significant portion of the Nara trails are closed, with the Nara trailhead no longer connected to the upper Tech trails. To stay up to date on trail conditions, go to keweenawtrails.com.
Rick Oikarinen, owner of Cross Country Sports in Calumet, said morning skiing is wonderful, but afternoon sunshine softens up the snow and can slow things down considerably. Staying in the shade and using the right wax can also help, he added.
The right conditions - when a smooth crust forms on top of the snow - offer some of the best skiing of the year, he noted.
"Skating the crust, off the trails, is a blast this time of year," Oikarinen said. "Then the world is your trail."

North Jersey, Section 2, Group 2
(3) Lincoln at (2) Mountain Lakes, Saturday @ 1 p.m.
After becoming the first Jersey City public school to win a home playoff game last weekend, Lincoln (9-1) now sets its sights on returning to the state championship stage – a platform the Lions last reached in 2010. In the Lions' way stands second-seeded Mountain Lakes (10-0), which has only lost four games since head coach Darrell Fusco took the helm in 2010.
The Herd's defense has held opponents to an average of just under eight points a game this year, but that's a trend Lincoln, which has put up nearly 40 points a game, is looking to avoid. While the Lions have leaned heavily on running back Devell Jones and senior wide receiver/running back Tyrik Darby, quarterback Darius Wade (17 passing TDs, six rushing TDs) may be the X-factor for Lincoln. The junior is coming off a three-touchdown performance – all of those throws going to sophomore wide receiver Frank Darby – in a 28-26 win over three-time defending champion Madison.

I just visited the site, and while it looks/sounds very cool, I can't get behind $8+ per dozen eggs. Just...no.
Have you tried calling your local farmer and see if she'd be willing to set aside a dozen or two for you if you were to set up a payment schedule, etc. You never know unless you ask. If this isn't possible, then If I were you, I'd just do the best I can during the winter and eagerly await the spring.

The crash of 2008 infused our societies with enormous skepticism of government and central bank authority. Naturally, many dream of a currency that politicians and bankers cannot manipulate. Bitcoin has emerged as the great white hope of something of the sort. Alas, that hope is false.

What does Fox Newser Glenn Beck believe to be a safe investment during times of panic and fear? Gold. Which emotions is Beck particularly skilled at playing upon in his nightly Fox-cast? Panic and fear. Which Web site does Glenn Beck stump for? Goldline.com, which pushes the idea that now's the time to invest in gold. Oh.

your HFS probably has it in their catalog, but maybe hasn't carried it for a while? put in a request, i bet they'd order some for you!
That stuff looks GOOD.
Weird, their web site says my health food co-op carries it, but I was just there last night volunteering, and I looked around the baking mixes and didn't see it. They also say the major grocery store has it, so I'll have to check.

I'm blogging again, at least a little bit.

This looks really delicious. I have a bunch of grated manioc in the freezer. Any thoughts on turning it in to a pizza crust? Would I need to dry it to make a flour? Or could I just add egg and oil and try baking it?
Ok, I got a bag and made pizza for my roommate's kids. The stuff smelled good baking, before we even put anything on it. It was GOOD! The kids and adults loved it.
I probably ate too much of it, as I miss pizza and it was soooooo good. I would suggest adding the grated parmesean - it turned out really well.
Man, I'd kill for a pizza crust. I still have a few pounds of vital wheat gluten on hand from back in the days where I didn't know how awful it was for you. I thought higher gluten was better. More protein, less carbs, haha. I used to bake them all the time by fermenting a cup of whole wheat flour into sourdough, then adding bread flour and extra wheat gluten. Man, I can make a hell of a pizza crust. I have oven bricks, a pizza peel, the whole deal. One day I'll break down and just go for it. I wonder if fermenting pizza dough makes the wheat less toxic? I never had digestion issues from my sourdough pizza crust. Skinless pizza doughs beat my gut up way more than wheat pizza crust. When my crusts were raw, they would smell like straight up beer.

Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
I made mine a little too thin so it was pretty flimsy.
I'm going to try again this weekend but make it about 2/3rds the size.
Either way, it was delicious.
i'm bummed; i ordered a case of these (they're wholesale that way) and apparently the warehouse is out of stock. *pouty face* oh well...
Just a side note: one pizza has almost 170g of carbs (and it's not a very big pizza).
From experience of making Brazilian Bread Balls from sour starch and cheese, you can get some chewiness into the mix by not cooking through quite so fully. The sour starch goes particularly fluffy with a little baking powder (almost like croissant texture), but can be controlled by leaving it out and erring shy of the recommended cooking time for a more chewy texture. Mixing some pecorino (sheep cheese) passed through a fine grater helps.
Looking at this particular product, it reads okay in terms of the ingredients and process. There is "modified" starch in there and a rather fluffy answer from the company: Gluten free bread mixes and gluten free frozen dough - Chebe Bread but probably no more processed than sourced of straight-up manioc starch.
"... needs more fish!"

The capital of the state of México, TOLUCA DE LERDO is today a large and modern industrial centre, sprawling across a wide plain. At an altitude of nearly 2700m, it is the highest city in the country, and is surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, dominated by the white-capped Nevado de Toluca. It is probably not a place you'll want to linger, but on Fridays it is the site of what is allegedly the largest single market in the country.
Unusually for a Mexican city, Toluca's centre is marked not by an open plaza, but by a central block surrounded on three sides by the nation's longest series of arcades, built in the 1830s and known as portales, lined with shops, restaurants and cafés: Portal Madero is to the south along Hidalgo; Portal 20 de Noviembre is to the east along Allende; and Portal Reforma is to the west along Bravo. The fourth side is taken up by the nineteenth-century cathedral and, to its east, the mustard-yellow church of Santa Cruz. Most of the central sights are clustered north of the portales and the cathedral, close to the two massive open plazas: Plaza de los Mártires, north of the cathedral, which is dominated on its north side by the Palacio del Gobierno, and to its east, Plaza Garibay, which is rather prettier, with shrubbery and fountains.

Interstate 20/59 between milemarkers 79 and 86 in Tuscaloosa County was reopened around 11:15 a.m. today.
Exits 79 and 86, which were closed to relieve traffic congestion on U.S. 11 and Alabama 261, also reopened shortly after noon.
The interstate had been closed for over 12 hours while workers removed a power line which crossed north and southbound traffic lanes between Cottondale and Vance.
The line fell following a wreck last night on the interstate.

WASHINGTON - The overflow crowd watching today's presidential inauguration quickly overwhelmed roads, sidewalks and Smithsonian museums along the National Mall after President Obama was sworn in, but people were in an upbeat mood. Blacks and whites were shaking hands, hugging and nodding at each other with grins on their faces.
Perhaps the only blemish on the inauguration was the widespread booing when former president George W. Bush and former vice president Dick Cheney were introduced. Adults traveling with the hundreds of school groups here were seen commanding their students to stop booing.

My TV
My TV
Jan 22, 2008 3:14PM PST
So I have not blogged on here in a while, I wanted to start with a blog on Retro gaming and bringing back old franchises but decided to start with something that is urrkkking the shit out me.
This little story starts off good. Last January, me and my wife got back a fat tax return, so we decided to purchase something that we had both been wanting for a while a bigger television. Now I did all the research, checked consumer reports and all that jazz. Knew that I wanted at least a 50" inch screen, also wanted High Definition, the furniture to house it, since the old entertainment center wouldn't work anymore and last but certainly not least price. LCD was way out of my price range and I knew a Plasma set was not suited for gaming so I went with a Standard DLP HDTV. Started looking around and found a 50" RCA at Walmart, had DLP, went up to 720p, plenty of plugs in the back, had its own stand for the TV and for assorted components. Plus the price range was right at 1K. Arranged with a friend to help me go get it, needed a truck and the extra muscle plus he was also pretty good with hooking up electronics, figured both of us could tackle it pretty easy. Went and got it, got it set up. Surround Sound hooked up right, 360 running in HD with Optical Audio, DVD player, Gamecube, PS2 and cable are running properly. Last thing I needed to do was contact the cable company to upgrade to the HD/DVR box. Done with in three days. I had not only a hell of a gaming rig but an awesome movie and television viewing setup. Life was good.
Fast Forward to end of July. Me and the wife moved from our two bedroom townhome into a three bedroom home, had to do some work but hey a nice starter home for our little family, but this is another story. Everything was running smooth, other than the 2 hours it took to hook up my center of entertainment again. Yet again life was good.
Fast Forward to the Monday after Thanksgiving. I had been talking on the phone with my Mom for a couple hours that night and decided after speaking with her it was time to re enter the world of Mass Effect. Playing the game and I hear a pop, well at first I suspected one of cats had got into something. Got up to check and walked back to my living room to find a black screen, had sound but no picture. No problem I figure, I will turn it off and turn it back on, figured that it shut off on its own. Nothing, but I notice the power button light flashing 5 times? Pull out the owners manual and look up the trouble shooting and find that this generally means the lamp has went out, this is the piece that generated the picture. So the next day I call RCA to see what needs to happen, first off I was shifted around their phone lines a few times after twenty minutes. Finally the guy I talked to says I need to fax a copy of the original sales receipt and RCA would take care of it. So I agreed to this. This brings me back to our move, well when we moved this receipt and the extended warranty was misplaced, me and the wife aren't the most organized people. So after a few days of looking we gave up and decided we would bite the bullet and pay for the piece, hey we wanted our television fixed. Call up RCA and got the run around from them for 3 days, it was like they didn't want my money?? Yeah doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me either. So I decided to say Fuck RCA I'll get the piece through the internet.
Find a parts distributer through both Best Buy and Circuit City. Went with the Best Buy one. Call them up and got a very helpful lady on the phone and she took my order, the total comes up to about $430 this is with two day shipping. Week later no part, two weeks later no part, three week and Christmas approaching still no fucking part. I decided with it being the holidays I would call after the New Year just to try to be nice about it. I was doing my gaming in the bedroom on our 27" tv with an extra 360 I had(this also is another story for later).
Call the Best Buy parts people on the 2nd or 3rd of January, don't remember the exact day. The guy I talk to says that this part is backorder and I should have been informed when making the order, there was nothing they could do for any kind of compensation because that would move me down the waiting list, but he tells me they expect to have the part on the 18th which puts the part in my hands around the 22nd or 23rd, he says just check my order status on the 18th. Best Buy was waiting on RCA to supply there warehouses with this piece. So I have some answers, I check the order status Friday night and nothing, not shipped. Check again Saturday morning, thinking maybe they have slow systems, still fucking nothing. So I start searching the web again and come across Sears direct parts service, start examining the site and low and behold I find my part, in stock and for about $200 less. Call them up and spoke with a very helpful woman, asked questions to make sure I had the same exact item, she confirms it, but they are having computer problems, she says as soon as these issues are handled she will call me back and go from there. So I call Best Buy and cancel my order and can you believe that the "Ass clown" on the other end has the nerve to ask me this stupid fucking question---"why are you canceling your order?". I bit my tongue and was nice about it.
So here I am at home happy that I am going to get my part and for a lot less, I figure that the lady from Sears won't call me back so I figure I'll call her back the next day. But about an hour later she calls back and takes my order. And also before I can request upping my shipping to next day or 2nd day she tells me that there standard shipping would get me the part by Monday the 21st. Sounds cool to me, right?
So I had taken the day off from work because my kids and wife didn't have any class due to it being Martin Luther King Day. Wait still no part, figure its got to do with the holiday even though I was told different and being a UPS employee I knew we still operate normally on MLK day. Called in sick today, stomach crap, waited and still no part, so here I am not knowing who the hell to go off on now, UPS or Sears (my money is UPS). Pissed off due to the fact that just picked up Burnout: Paradise today, still have not got to play my brand new copies of Assassins Creed or Call of Juarez, had little time with Guitar Hero III, missed over a month of Live goodness and still am refined to playing my brand new Wii in a cramp bedroom. So yeah writing this helps, but dammit I want my fucking piece to fix my TV. So guess the morale of the story is that yes RCA still sucks (made in Mexico, should have went with made in Japan), Best Buy customer service reps are complete Douches, and UPS still sucks big fat ones. Later on.
Update 1/23/08: Received my part and am now playing catch up on Live, but back to gaming and playing in beautiful High Def.

World War II, Sp 4 pay level E-4
Quartermaster, 295th quartermaster, Salvage battalion - The term quartermaster comes from a 17th century term "quartiermeister" and initially denoted a court official with the duty of repairing the monarch's sleeping quarters. In the U.S. military the term quartermaster is used in two occupations: one for the Army and one for the Navy. The title in the Army refers to an individual soldier or unit who specializes in distributing supplies and provisions to troops. The senior unit, post or base supply officer is customarily titled the quartermaster.
Quartermaster units in World War II - The areas covered by the quartermaster units during World War II were supply, general articles, aerial delivery, clothing and equipment, graves registration and field services.

Richard J. Husch, U.S. Army
Married - his high school sweetheart Mary Jean (Wilson) in November 1946. The ceremony was held at the Baptist church in Fredonia.
Children - Gail, Sally, Nancy and David
Grandchildren - Christine, Haylie, Lynsly and Jeff
Richard J. Husch was born on December 23, 1922, in his home. He was the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Davison). His family resided on Light Street in the city. Later Light Street was renamed Point Drive North. Richard's father, Joe was a jack-of-all-trades with a talent for fixing things. Many that knew Joe never heard him say, "That can't be done!"
Richard lost his father when he was only 9 years old. Richard's mother now had to raise the family herself and support it. Richard recalls that his mother always had food on the table and made sure his clothes were clean. In winter the home was always warm. So incredible was Mom that at Christmas, there was always a gift for him.
School 5 was just a few blocks away from home and that is where Richard began his education. Richard claimed he had trouble in his younger years at School 5 and later found classes easier and more exciting at the Dunkirk Junior High. Before he knew it, Richard was in high school. He was now with the big kids and he was growing up.
Loving sports, Richard played football and volleyball. He was very excited about football. The field was full of more than 100 boys trying out. It was hard to make the team and get a uniform. Trying his best landed him one of the 24 uniforms issued. As for volleyball, it was the same - so many boys wanting to make the team. Hard work also paid off, and Richard made the varsity volleyball team. He enjoyed the matches in Jamestown, Salamanca and the biggest between Fredonia.
He graduated in June of 1941. Summer was starting, and every now and then one read about some Hitler guy causing all kinds of trouble in Europe. A diploma in hand, the world was Richard's.
At that time a person needed to be 18 to land a decent job. Richard received a call from Dunkirk's Alco plant asking him if he would like a position. It took less than a second before a yes reply came, and he was off to work. The next day, arriving at the plant, Richard was shown the office where he would begin his duties. He later found out he was recommended by a family friend, Mr. Morgestine.
Richard's duties in the payroll office were running the addressograph machine, printing checks and issuing payroll checks. The plant employed more than 400 employees, and depending on the government contracts that were on the board, the numbers were close to, if not over, the 500 mark. Richard pointed out this was all done before the computer age. All the payroll was done by hand. Even with all the employees, mistakes were few, which kept the work force happy.
At times, contracts having designated completion dates caused many overtime hours. This meant extra calculating to keep the books straight. All the payroll was done by Richard's office. Richard thought Alco was a great place to work. The superintendent had a great open door policy, and any new idea was listened to and used. This also kept his work force happy.
Richard stayed with Alco until 1943 when he decided it was his time to serve his country. Richard walked to the end of Light Street and wanted to enlist in the Coast Guard at the Navy's training center, but this dream ended when "rejected for medical reasons" was stamped on the front of his chart. It was a long, sad walk home.
A few days later, his number came up for the draft. Again another walk was made to the Naval Training Center. A few weeks later, after filling out all the papers and another medical exam, this time much longer, Richard was signed into the United States Army. This time he was happy not only to be accepted and labeled fit to join, he also saw he would be going with friends he grew up with.
The bus taking the group to boot camp was loaded with friends: Dan Vehuge, Joey Tofil, Alva Hunt and Harry Cudizilo. The trip to Fort Niagara started at Dunkirk's Lake Shore Drive. As the bus drove toward Buffalo, there was a lot of reminiscing about swimming off the dock and going to Candyland and Point Gratiot.
No one yet knew where and what the future year would bring. There were even thoughts of this possibly being the very last time to see Dunkirk. The bus arrived at Fort Niagara in Niagara Falls. Here the civilian was turned into an Army soldier, giving him the right to carry a rifle.
Doing well for the next 10 weeks meant that one would receive a job that carries other responsibilities. From Niagara the entire group was sent to Fort Sutton in North Carolina to complete the final weeks of their boot camp training. Here at camp, Richard was trained in all the Army's small arm weapons, the M1 rifle machine gun and hand grenades.
Next duty took him to Base General Depot in San Bernadino, Calif. Here he was assigned to the battalion's salvage battalion. Upon completion of training Richard was ordered back east. The orders read "Report to Boston, Mass. to embarkation dock to take passage on the HMS Queen Mary."
While in Boston, Richard received a one-day pass, which he spent at the nearest dog track. The Queen Mary's voyage took Richard to South Hampton. After a two-day stop, she sailed to Liverpool and then through the English channel. Because the channel was so rough, a list of 269 soldiers were registered sea sick.
No convoy was needed for the Queen because of her speed. When he arrived at his final destination, Richard reported and was given orders to the 259th quartermaster, a salvage unit issuing shoes and clothing.
The following months of the war took Richard and his unit the 259th through Normandy, the Ardennes, the Rhineland, northern France and central Europe. Duties were to keep the units stocked with clothing, fuel, food, and whatever was demanded. The salvage team had to repair and fix whatever was needed everything from shoes to clothing, always on the move keeping up with the advance toward Berlin.
When the war in Europe ended, Richard still didn't have enough points to be discharged. With that in mind, the Army had a place for him in San Bernadino, Calif. Life here brought a clean bed, three square meals and an 8 to 5 job. Passes were given upon request. There was no guard duty and no mess duty.
Weekends brought trips to Hollywood, the Rose Bowl and even a trip to Mexico. All was going well until rumor had it that all eligible troops may be headed to Cheyenne, Wyo., where training for the invasion of Japan was taking place.
Cheyenne didn't last long. The Army Air Corps dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima and then one in Nagasaki. Time passed and final orders came for Fort Dix where Richard received his discharge.
With his military obligation to his country over, Richard came home and found out that Alco, where he had worked before his war service had slowed down to almost no work at all. Contracts started coming in, and Richard found work this time not in payroll but as a piece work checker in the expediting and shipping departments. Here Richard reported to work for the next 22 years until that one day when he saw the closed sign on the front door.
On April 30, 1963, Richard retired from Alco when the plant officially closed. He then found employment at the Dunkirk Radiator Co. where he was a clerk in the shop office. He later became a foreman in the machine shop.
This is another story of a veteran who did his job. He probably had a free ticket when the Coast Guard rejected him. As I interviewed Richard at the Chautauqua County Home, I was impressed to hear about his jobs He was at some of the worst battles fought in Europe. All this history sitting there. It's sad this story wasn't told 20 years ago so more people would understand what this Greatest Generation had done.
Thank you, Richard, for your service. Thank you for your story. Every job in the military carries responsibilities that if not carried out properly cause disaster. Fuel, food and ammunition may win a war, and supplies like clothes, socks, shirts and boots will help win a war!
Our hero of the week, Richard Husch of the U.S. Army.

Jacqueline ''Jae'' Carrasco of Caprock and Willie Riley of Palo Duro have more in common than just being standout student athletes.
Both used strong support from family and friends — and God — to excel on the court and on the gridiron, not to mention academics.
Their similarities were evident Monday as Carrasco and Riley were named the overall winners of the 29th Annual John McGuire Memorial Scholarships, held at First Presbyterian Church and funded by Amarillo Downtown Kiwanis.
The McGuire scholarships honors student athletes — a boy and a girl — from the Amarillo ISD high schools. Eight nominees are selected, with the overall winners receiving $1,500 each. Each nominee receives $750.
The scholarship is named in honor of McGuire, who spent 26 years in AISD athletics, including a stint as athletic director. McGuire died in 1984 and was a member of Amarillo Downtown Kiwanis.
Riley, also known as "Mr. Palo Duro," did it all for the Dons football team — playing defensive back, wide receiver and even some quarterback, in addition to participating in track. Riley will play football next season at Eastern New Mexico.
"I didn't know anything about this at first until my coaches told me they had nominated me for a scholarship," said Riley, who carries a 3.47 GPA. "I looked into it and did what I had to do."
One of Riley's coaches, Eric Mims Sr., described Riley this way in a letter of recommendation for the McGuire scholarship: "Willie is a joy to be around. His language is clean, his pants never hang below his waist and he always answers by using 'Sir' or 'Ma'am.'"
Carrasco was a team captain on the Lady Longhorns basketball team, a member of National Honor Society and a Superintendent Scholar.
"I'm so happy right now, it is a great honor," said Carrasco, who will continue her hoops career at Clarendon College. "I've come so far in sports and it is all I've done in life, and to be recognized for what I've done is a great honor."
Caprock head girls basketball coach Wes Torres said this about Carrasco in a letter of recommendation for the McGuire scholarship: "On account of her mature approach to her responsibilities, I often thought of Jacqueline as a coach on the court."
The other nominees were Camille Arnn and Barrett Packard of Tascosa; Briana (Bri) Leeper and Jacob Wise of Amarillo High; Kaleen Jones of Caprock and Debra Mingboupha of Palo Duro.

A diocese and the capital of the province of Novara, Piedmont, Italy, noted for the manufacture of wool, cotton, and silk textiles, and machinery. The cathedral originally Romanesque has been modified. The high altar is the work of Thorwaldsen, Marchesi, and Finelli; the baldachin is by Tenarini, and there are paintings by Bordine, Crespi, and other artists, besides some ancient mosaics ; the baptistery dates from the fifth century. The cathedral archives contain codices and other documents from the eighth century. The church of St. Gaudentius , a work of Pellegrino Pellegrini, was begun in 1553 to replace the ancient basilica built by St. Gaudentius and torn down to make room for the fortifications; Renaissance in style, although the cupola does not harmonize, it contains valuable paintings and frescoes by Lombard, Caccia, Procaccini, Crespi, Gilardini, Sogni, Saletta, and Fiamminghino. The city has an institute of arts and trades, a museum of antiquities, and several private galleries, among them the Leonardi. Novara was the birthplace of the ancient jurist, C. Albucius Silo, Peter Lombard, the philologist Cattaneo, the painter Caccia, and the Jesuit Tornielli. Novara, formerly Novaria, was inhabited by Ligurians and Salassians. Under the Carolingians, it was the seat of a count, but the power of the counts passed gradually to the bishops, confirmed by Otho I (969), in the person of Bishop Aupaldus. From the time of Henry III, Novara was a commune, governed by two consuls and by a consul, called Maggiore . Frequently at war with Vercelli and Milan, it joined Frederick Barbarossa against the latter city, but in 1168 was compelled to join the Lombard League. After the peace of Constance it contended with the Counts of Biandrate, Vercelli, and its own bishops, unwilling to be deprived of their sovereign rights in which they had been again confirmed by Frederick Barbarossa . Upon the expulsion of the bishop in 1210, Innocent III threatened to suppress the diocese. Later, when Martin della Torre became lord of Milan, Novara gave its allegiance to him, then to the Visconti, from which time it formed part of the Duchy of Milan, with rare intervals; in 1536-38 it belonged to Monferrato, 1556-1602 to the Farnese of Parma, 1734 to the Savoy. Because of its position, Novara has been the scene of important battles: in April, 1500, Louis the Moor, Duke of Milan, intended to besiege here Trivulzi, appointed governor by the King of France, but abandoned by his Swiss troops, he was taken prisoner. On 6 June, 1513, the Swiss in the pay of the King of Spain, drove out the French; on 10 April, 1812, the troops that had rebelled against King Charles Felix were dispersed there; on 23 March, 1849, Radetzky inflicted upon the Piedmontese a defeat that compelled King Charles Albert to abdicate.
In the fourth century, Novara was in the Diocese of Vercelli ; its first bishop, St. Gaudentius , was consecrated by St. Simplicianus, Bishop of Milan (397-400). St. Lawrence is said to have introduced the Faith into Novara. St. Julius and St. Julian assisted Gaudentius in the conversion of the diocese. The list of bishops has been preserved on two ivory diptychs, one in the cathedral dates from 1168; the other in the church of St. Gaudentius from 1343.

The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Rihanna was supposed to be attending a fashion gala on Monday night, but the pop star's outfit showed how little she cares about clothes these days.
The singer -- censored on Instagram recently for sharing a nude magazine shoot -- was given the Fashion Icon honor at the CFDA Awards from Anna Wintour herself, wearing a sparkling, flapper-style outfit that would've made Gatsby faint. The sheer dress left little to the imagination, sparking both support and pushback on Twitter.
Why is your child listening to Rihanna anyway? I can't think of anything she has to say that would foster a young mind.— Big Fine Gawdess (@Mynx999) June 3, 2014
You wouldn't catch Beyoncé in Rihanna's outfit, the girl needs god. ⛪— James Marwood (@Jmarzy44) June 3, 2014
Rihanna wore a sheer dress? Oooh. And Lil Kim wore pasties at the VMA's and Gaga wore a thong. Shut up.— Yasiin Bae (@lotyslove) June 3, 2014
Vogue and Vanity Fair both named her among their best-dressed from the fashionable evening, so at least the critics approve.
What do you think of Rihanna's sparkling statement?
-- David Greenwald

Last night amid the passing thunderstorm, we ventured out to get something to eat. We decided on the Macaroni Grill located at 2531 Brindle Road in Harrisburg. We arrived around 8:30 and the dinner crowd already dispersed. No wait for a table, and we took our crayons with us!
One of the neat things about the Grill is its ambience. The room's furnishings are top-of-the-line fixtures and the white cloth covers each table. But wait, what is this? Oh, and then white butcher block paper covers the cloths. Okay, I can color!
So our server, Ben, came over and introduced himself and suggested a bottle of wine, of which we wanted the Chianti by the glass. The Grill will give you a big bottle of wine, and you get to keep track of how many glasses your party drinks via a tally!
Two loaves of warm, Tuscan bread were brought to our table. We ordered our appetizer along with the wine and received it promptly exactly the way we ordered. When we eat out, we have a vegetarian with us so the calamari is served on a separate plate. Ben brought everything immediately because we were a hungry group! We actually ordered the Romano's Sampler which sells for $9.99 and includes the Tomato Bruschetta, Mozzarella Fritta, Calamari, and pizzaiola sauce. The sampler was absolutely delicious! Along with the bread and wine - oh my!
We finished our appetizers just in time for the entrees to be brought to our table. We ordered the mushroom ravioli, veal marsala, and select your own pasta. The mushroom ravioli was a delicate array of ravioli and cheese smothered in a marsala wine cream sauce. The veal marsala that was ordered came out as a veal parmesan, and it was suggested to send it back to correct it, but our party didn't have a problem finishing it off. The Grill has this entree where you are given a tablet and you fill it out for the pasta and fixin's you would like. We chose to have the penne pasta with the tomato cream sauce with asparagus, broccoli, and tomatoes! The entrees were hot and delicious! Totally enjoyable! Of course since we couldn't eat it all, we had lunch today and Ben packed up everything for us.
Of course, all the desserts looked wonderful. We've tried the lemon passion, the tiramisu, the dessert ravioli so this time we wanted to try something new. So we tried the new Amaretto Apple Crispetti which was layers of tender apples and brown sugar baked under a buttery almond crisp and topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with warm caramel sauce. Get everyone a spoon! Enough to share!
Macaroni Grill will always be one of my favorite spots to eat! The ambiance, the food, the service is consistently good! Try it today!

Tales from the Trail
In California, no voting bloc is safe
First Republican Meg Whitman, a political novice running for California governor, seemed to catch her Democratic opponent, Jerry Brown, napping with an aggressive early push for Latino voters — a voting bloc that has proven tough for her party to crack.
Arizona law galvanizes U.S. Latinos
The swastika made of refried beans smeared onto the glass doors of the Arizona State Capitol this week captured the anger of Hispanics at the law authorizing local police to question anyone reasonably suspected of being in the United States illegally. The controvesial law, which critics say is a mandate for racial profiling, has galvanized the country's largest minority that is expected to turn out in large numbers at planned rallies in more than 70 U.S. cities.

ZEELAND, MI – Jenison's water polo team allowed as many goals as Rockford scored in district championship action Saturday afternoon at Zeeland West, yet the Wildcats and Rams claimed district titles.
Jenison beat the host Chix and Dux of Zeeland 9-5 to win the Michigan Water Polo Association's West Region District 1 championship while Rockford scored five second-half goals to beat East Grand Rapids 5-0 in the District 2 championship game.
Rockford, which is the state's top-ranked team in the MWPA's most recent poll, will be joined by No. 5-ranked Jenison, No. 8 Zeeland and No. 9 EGR in next weekend's West Region Championship tournament at Grand Haven.
Also qualifying for the regional tournament are Hudsonville and Grand Haven, which finished third and fourth, respectively, in this weekend's District 1 tournament, and East Kentwood and Forest Hills, which finished third and fourth, respectively, in the District 2 championships.
See pictures from Saturday's water polo district action
East Grand Rapids junior goalie Haley Hubbard repeatedly stymied Rockford Saturday, May 11, but the Rams (28-5) finally found the back of the net with 1:54 left in the third quarter when freshman Hannah Raymond fired a shot under Hubbard's right arm. Rockford senior co-captain Adrianna Craft scored the first of her two goals in the game just 20 seconds later. Rams junior Kara Vandawater scored twice in the fourth quarter.
"Haley deserves every credit in the world," Rockford coach Scott Voltz said of Hubbard. She was awesome today.
"This happens every year, though," Voltz continued. "Every year you have a game when nothing will go in and, unfortunately, today was that game. After the first quarter I told the girls to just keep shooting and shooting an eventually it will go in."
Senior Elli Raymond earned the shutout in goal for the Rams.
"Our defense was awesome tonight. We did a great job stopping their drives and we played good, solid defense," Voltz said. "This was a team effort."
Jenison (19-4) led 4-2 at halftime and scored the first two goals of the second half to earn the four-goal lead by which the Wildcats eventually won.
"We dictated the tempo of the game from the beginning," said Jenison co-head coach Pete Hewett. "We missed some shots that would have given us more breathing room."
Junior Wixi Lehman earned the win in goal for Jenison.
"They rely on their counter attack and we shut that down," Wildcats co-coach Jen Coffey said.
"Our defense has been great all year," Hewett added. "For the last three weeks our offense has struggled to be productive. We've been able to win games on talent, not on production."
The West Region Championship tournament is scheduled to begin Friday at Grand Haven. Four games are scheduled Friday: Jenison vs. Forest Hills, East Grand Rapids vs. Husonville, Rockford vs. Grand Haven and Zeeland vs. East Kentwood.
