Christine Orange Atwell (1887-1939)
was born in Cazenovia and is descended from a Joseph Atwell who had taken
up land in the Pompey Hollow (Onondaga County Military Tract). Joseph
and some of his pioneering neighbors were camping at the outlet of Cazenovia
Lake when John Lincklaen and his crew first came to the site of the what
was soon to be the new community of Cazenovia. Later generations
of the family were prosperous merchants and active citizens of the village
and town.
Atwell's book is a wonderful unparalleled history of Cazenovia which contains many items that are not recorded elsewhere. The text is based on many years of research by Miss Atwell and several close friends and is compiled and drawn from numerous sources. The author spent many years pouring over the records of early Cazenovia, and talking with many of the older generations.
As with any history research project the work is never done. As new information and sources come to light and as older material is looked at from a different perspective, the interpretations of earlier authors will (hobpefully) be superceeded by new interpretations, and such it has been with Atwell's work. A few of the things that Miss Atwell wrote about so many years ago are in need of clarification or comment. In a few cases she was caught unknowingly passing on false legends that have so pernisiously become implanted in our local history, such as her discussion of the Native American past and dugout canoes in the lake, industries, cemeteries, and taverns. Since these topics have been of particular interest to me I have made a closer look at the infomation and context and found that things are not quite as previous historians have written. It thus becomes necessary to add in a few commentary notes regarding what I have found to be changed or in need of clarification. Not wishing to interrupt the flow of this text I have provided this seperate compilation discussing some of the material and information that has since come to light and which changes what Atwell wrote so many years ago.
Some spelling corrections have been made and a few notes to update or
clarify the text are added in square [ ] parentheses. Atwell's
Footnotes and my Comments and Notes follow at the

<:1> Cazenovia, New York,
the center town on the western border of Madison County, was founded in
Until after the close of the Revolutionary War, the territory embraced in the present Chenango and Madison Counties was included in the indefinite Indian domain. In 1788, Governor Clinton effected a treaty with the Indians whereby their title to the major portions of the two counties was extinguished. The next year the Legislature passed an act directing the Surveyor- General to lay out and survey twenty townships. After the completion of the survey, the Commissioners of the Land Office were to select five of the choicest of these twenty townships, which were to be sold only for gold or silver or to redeem certain bonds which the State had issued in the form of bills of credit. They were further required to affix to the lands such price as was best calculated to effect a ready sale, and at the same time ensure the greatest revenue to the State Treasury. The commissioners were required to give three months' public notice of the contemplated sale by advertising in the papers published in the cities of Albany and New York, in the latter of which the sales were to take place. The sales took place, but owing to the brief notice and the imperfect means of travel and communication, they were lightly attended, and the towns in many cases fell naturally, easily and unavoidably into the hands of jobbers and wealthy capitalists, who were in attendance upon legislative action, and always on the alert for lucrative investments, and who immediately advanced the price from three to twenty shillings per acre.
Due to a misapprehension in the survey, there was left between the west line of the Twenty Townships and the east line of the Military Tract a strip which was named the Gore. Two tracts, one of 15,000 acres and one of 41,000 acres were sold off. These two tracts were known as the Road Township. from the fact that the proceeds arising from its sale were to be applied to the construction of roads. This, together with the previous tract, soon after came into possession of the Holland Land Company.
John Lincklaen, Esq., of Amsterdam, Holland, under the patronage of Peter Stadniski, President of the Holland Land Company, was sent into the United States to explore the new countries, and to make a purchase of a tract of land if he should find a suitable situation. Accordingly <:2> in the year 1790, he came to America with letters of instruction to the Company's Agent, Theophilus Cazenove, then residing in the city of Philadelphia.
Inspired with zeal for his mission Mr. Lincklaen in the month of September, 1792, having completed his preparation for a tour in the wilderness, employed two hardy woodsmen to accompany him and set out. He ascended the North [Hudson] River to Albany, thence by the Mohawk river to old Fort Schuyler. He then steered off in a westerly direction in the back parts of [what was then] Herkimer County. His object was to explore the tract of about one hundred thousand acres, being the strip lying between the Military Townships and the tract called the Governors' Purchase of 20 Townships, distinguished on the map of the State of New York as the Road Township, the Gore and No. One of the 20 townships.
In this wilderness the enterprising young Hollander continued with his little company eleven days, enduring all the hardships and privations which such hazardous expeditions are subject to, with only raw pork and bread to subsist upon, and many miles from any inhabitants. He kept a journal of his journey, which, having been translated from the French in which it was originally written, relates that on the afternoon of Thursday, October 11, 1792, he arrived at the foot of the beautiful lake in Cazenovia where his party encamped for the night. As the result of a reconnoiter he wrote: "The situation is superb and the lands are beautiful."
Pleased with the tract and situation, after his arduous undertaking, he returned to Philadelphia and reported to Mr. Cazenove in so favorable a manner the result of his expedition, that the tract was immediately bought and Mr. Lincklaen became the agent with an interest in the purchase (Footnote I-1).
The earliest authentic version of the founding of the village is contained in an address made by Mr. S.S. Forman, clerk of the Holland land Company, on the occasion of the forty-eighth anniversary of the settlement of this section of the Empire State, celebrated on the eighth day of May, 1841. At that time he said:
"Messrs. Cazenove and Lincklaen made me proposals to accompany Mr. Lincklaen to commence his settlement on this tract of land. The negotiation was soon confirmed. Mr. Lincklaen requested me to meet him in New York in April then next. When we met, he gave me his plans fully, and requested me to purchase a complete assortment of goods such <:3> as I deemed suitable for a new settlement in order to give every facility to the emigrants, observing, that the profits on the goods was of no consideration; but the grand object was to promote the settlement of the lands - that I must not be afraid of buying too much of useful article that the company had appropriated $20,000 for the purpose. He added, that if I knew of any mechanics or others who would like to go with us to engage them - I accordingly engaged one carpenter (John Wilson) one mason (Michael Day) one teamster (James Smith). When the North [Hudson} River opened, I shipped all the goods and farming utensils on board of an Albany sloop commanded by Capt. William Schenck, a most worthy Revolutionary officer. Also myself and four hired men I took along. From Albany I sent the men on to old Fort Schuyler (now the city of Utica); the goods I transported by land to Schenectady and then shipped them on board of bateaux and accompanied them myself to old Fort Schuyler. I took passage with them in order to learn how the boatmen managed, and try to discover whether any plan could be devised to prevent pilfering, but alas! there were too many temptations to become rogues if they were ever honest. This was a tedious and vexatious journey of several days - no stage had yet ever started on these roads. At old Fort Schuyler the goods were all stored with John Post, Esq., the only merchant and tavern-keeper at that place, and then only two framed houses. From that place we brought the goods to the Road Township (now Cazenovia) as occasion required and we had a place for them.
"At Ft. Schuyler we hired seven additional men as foresters, viz: James Greene, David Fay, Stephen F. Blackstone, Philemon Tuttle, David Freeborn, Gideon Freeborn and Asa C. Towns. I believe wages were $10 per month and board. I also bought a yoke of oxen, a cart and provisions. On the morning of leaving Utica I weighed out some raw pork and bread to all the men to carry in their knapsacks and an axe apiece to ten of them - and started them and the magazine team on their pilgrimage, on the Great Genesee Road, via the Dean Road to so called - Shortly after Mr. Lincklaen and myself started on horseback - I believe we all stayed the first night at Wemple's Tavern at the Indian Mills, near the Oneida Castle. Our journey this day was about twenty miles. The country new, roads bad, much of the way was what is called corduroy road. The next morning we started on our way, continuing on the Genesee road until we crossed Chittenango Creek, about twelve miles - here we turned south and continued about one mile up the creek when we came to a beautiful flat settled by German squatters from the Mohawk River and some Indians. Here we left all settlements and took a blind Indian path bearing westwardly up a steep hill. Now commenced the tug of encountering the dense forest - the axe men commenced opening a road so as to let the cart pass along. By the time that we had ascended the summit of the hill the sun was <:4> nearly down; of course time to prepare for the night. By the side of our path lay a trunk of a large tree which had blown down - under the lee of this, with a large fire in front a few paces off, we thought we could be made comfortable. Our cattle and horses being secured and taken care of, we all then repaired to our magazine cart; out with our jack-knives and commenced supper on raw pork and bread - each one helped himself in his own way, some cut long sticks and sharpened one end and put the pork on it and toasted the pork in the fire - After this operation was finished each one wrapped himself in his blanket and stretched himself on the ground by the side of the tree with his feet toward the fire.
"The next morning, 8th of May, 1793, at daylight we arose, brushed the cobwebs from our faces, ate our breakfast on the same sumptuous fare as our supper. It was thought advisable to have another pair of oxen; accordingly one man with my horse was dispatched to Whitestown (upward of 30 miles) to buy and bring on as soon as possible another pair. Mr. Lincklaen now proposed to me that he and I would take his horse and ride and tie (as the new country phrase is) (Footnote I-2) and go on to the outlet of the lake, by following the Indian path, distant about seven miles, supposing by night that all the company would fetch up with us. When we arrived at the destined spot, we had the pleasure to meet with three men who came there for the purpose of fishing. Their names were Charles Rowe, Joseph Atwell (Footnote I-3) and Phineas Barnes, all then living in Pompey Hollow, a few miles to the west of this place. The outlet of the lake was so small that a man could step across it. The Indians had constructed a wear to catch fish as they run out of the lake; they had also erected a bark hut near by. On our arrival at this place, we took off the saddle and bridle and portmanteau from the horse and turned him out to feed on the oak plains. It is the practice with the Indians to fire the woods in the Spring of the year, which hastens vegetation and brings early and tender herbage and induces wild beasts to come upon their hunting ground - here the horse found good pasture. In the evening we five collected in the bark hut. Our people and team did not make their appearance, we two travelers consequently were not provided for with provisions, the three Pompenians discovering our destitute situation, kindly shared their excellent bread and raw pork with us. By this time a friendly introduction took place and they were made acquainted with the object of our business, so a mutual exchange of expression of kind feelings passed. We then set about to arrange affairs <:5> for the night lodging in the little hut. Our saddle and portmanteau served for our pillows. By the dawn of the morning our three friends disappeared. About seven o'clock Mr. Lincklaen observed to me, that he had best go back; perhaps some misfortune had befallen our people - that he would leave the horse and dog (old Lion) with me. About ten o'clock my stomach admonished me I had best make back tracks too - for the $500 in specie in the portmanteau would not buy me a breakfast, nor was there a human being within several miles of me to my knowledge and alone in the wilderness rendered my situation rather unpleasant. I saddled my horse and had not lead him far before I gladly met Messrs. Jedediah Jackson and Joseph Yaw, although they were entire strangers to me. They were sent out from the State of Vermont as an exploring committee of a company to try to find a tract of land to settle. These gentlemen had met Mr. Lincklaen on his returning to the people, and he directed them to me. They inquired the way to Township No. 1 (now the Town of Nelson) I directed them the way and proceeded slowly and solitary on my way. The cause of our people's delay was the axle-tree of the cart broke which was a great damage to us. when the whole company arrived on the Patent, Mr. Lincklaen had his marquee pitched for his own family and a very large tent for his hired men - the spot was near the oaks at the south end of the lake.
"The first work was to build a large log dwelling house and store under one roof, and another large house for the work people; both were set in the white oak grove, a little distance apart. Soon after, a warehouse was built in front of the store. The lands were to have been surveyed and laid out in 150 acre farm lots before this time but was not begun. Mr. Lincklaen dispatched James Greene through the wilderness to Oxford, 50 miles off with only a pocket compass for his guide and bread and pork in his knapsack, to bring Mr. Lock, the surveyor, to do his work. By this time some land hunters had come, they were very fortunately employed by Mr. Lock as axemen, chain bearers, etc. This gave them a fine opportunity of sizing the land and selecting lots. The land sales commenced at $1.50 per acre, $10.00 to be paid down - balance in 10 years with interest yearly - the purchaser to clear and sow or plant 10 acres and build a comfortable log cabin on his lot the first year. Mr. Lincklaen gave out word that the first ten families should have one hundred acres each for $1.00 per acre. Two miles were reserved off the north end of the Road Township and laid out in ten acre lots for the benefit of the villagers. The village plot was not laid out until the next summer, 1794. The first job of clearing land, Mr. Lincklaen let 10 acres to James Greene and David Fay, over on the farm now owned by Mr. Tillotson on the west side of the lake (Footnote I-4).
<:6> "Emigration from the neighboring towns was not contemplated, but supposed they would come from Down East' but terms were too favorable for the keen Yankee eye to let slip, and before the lots were surveyed and even before the workmen had time to finish their log house for themselves, several respectable families from the towns through which we passed coming from Utica came on as settlers without having previously provided any shelter for their families - our men kindly gave up their tent to their families and sheltered themselves as well as they could in their unfinished house.
"We were informed that some of these families were young married people, who had abbreviated their courtship in order to avail themselves of this favorable opportunity to commence the world. This was Yankee prudence and foresight, without any trick about it. For several weeks our baking and washing was done at old Mrs. Schuyler's at Chittenango Flats. One day Mr. Lincklaen returning from there, brought home with him in his surtout pocket, a kitten, which was the first and only one for a long time. There were no other domestic animals in the settlement except horses, oxen, and two or three dogs.
"The horses and oxen had bells put on them and were turned on the oak plains; toward evening they would all run in from the woods to shelter themselves in the smoke of the settlement to get away from the large horse flies, they were so plentiful that it seemed sometimes they would devour the creatures. This circumstance is well impressed upon the memory, because their stamping and shaking their bells all night under our windows kept sleep away from us. The Holland Company sent to Mr. Lincklaen eight head of Dutch cattle, six of which were cows the size of our oxen; their colors were clear black and white - not spotted but large patches of the two color - very handsome bodies and straight limbs, horns middling size, but gracefully set. Their necks were seemingly too slender to carry their head - their disposition mild and docile. For some reason or other, they did not do well and entirely run out. Some supposed that the country was too new, the pasturage different from what they had been accustomed to. The company went to an enormous expense with these cattle, a groom was sent along for the express purpose of taking care of them.
"For several days flights of pigeons (not quail) came over our camp a little before sunset, their flights were so low that we shot them with guns and pistols, and knocked them down with poles and club - they were fine ingredients with our pork and made a dish fit for epicures.
"When the surveyor commenced his work, the emigrants followed him so closely that as soon as two sides of a lot could be ascertained and the number known, they would run to the office to have it entered and perhaps <:7> a person would have to name several before he could get one. We were obliged to suspend the sales at one time for fear of making mistakes by reason of the competition. The land sales closed the first season I think at $2.00 per acre, on the Road Township, now Cazenovia.
"It was some time after our first arrival before we could be prepared to receive the merchandise which was stored at Utica, and owing to the badness of the roads there was great risk in carting liquors - one time in particular Mr. Lincklaen was in Utica and engaged a respectable trusty farmer to bring out a Hogshead of spirits, the transportation of which cost $10.00. At that time this article was considered as almost indispensable in a new country - we had no faucets, but I tapped the hogshead and put a quill in it, and drew the contents out through the quill as occasion required.
"The first winter I had business in Whitestown and Utica and went in a lumber sleigh, our Jersey teamster, James Smith, drove. On our return we traveled all night being in a hurry to get back. When we arrived at the head of the lake, at the first dawn of the morning, we stopped to examine the ice - it was perfectly transparent - we took our axe (a necessary tool to take along in those days) we cut through the ice and concluded that we should be safe. After we drove on the lake the ice cracked and radiated from the horses' feet in every direction, the horses became frightened - we almost repented our temerity, the driver kept the horses on a good steady trot, we arrived safe at the settlement where we found all the people on the bank of the lake watching with much anxiety for our safety, after they could ascertain what we were. Our first appearance astonished the spectator - some supposed us to be a large bear, some one thing and some another. This probably was the first time that a sleigh and pair of horses was ever driven on this lake.
"In 1794 the village of Cazenovia was laid out by Judge Wright of Rome and Calvin Guiteau of Utica. It was Mr. Lincklaen's wish to have the village laid out on the bank of the lake, and to have a street running on the bank. This it was thought would give a better appearance to the village; but the Company did not own far enough north to adopt that plan. The first sales of village lots were at $5.00, upon certain conditions to build and improve the lots; but they shortly rose higher. Mr. Lincklaen wished to call the village Hamilton - he was a great admirer of General Hamilton, who was at that time Secretary of the Treasury, under George Washington, but the settlers in one of the adjoining townships had named their settlement Hamilton, so the name of Cazenovia was established in honor of Theophilus Cazenove, the Holland Land Company's Agent (Footnote I-5).
<:8> "In 1795 I believe it was, Mr. Lincklaen built his first house, about 50 feet square and handsome. The roof of this house was at one time all covered with sheet lead, but it had not the desired effect of keeping it from leaking so it was taken off. The house took fire twice; the second time it was destroyed together with many books and papers containing the early records of the company and a great deal of elegant furniture (Footnote I-6). (The site of Mr. Lincklaen's dwelling on the bank of the lake was a picturesque spot and its selection evinced the good taste of its owner. When the house burned in 1806, he chose another site at the foot of the lake, where he erected in 1807 a substantial brick house, commanding a beautiful view of the entire length of the lake. It is still standing, occupied by Mrs. Charles S. Fairchild, who calls the place Lorenzo.' Mrs. Fairchild is a descendant of the adopted son of Col. John Lincklaen. Mr. Fairchild, who was Secretary of the United States Treasury under the Cleveland administration, died in 1924. Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild entertained President and Mrs. Cleveland at Lorenzo, where the flower gardens have long been noted for their beauty.)
"A person who never commenced to settle in the wilderness can have but a faint idea of the difficulties, privations and hardships attending such a life. No doubt but the children of Israel had bard times. This settlement commenced under the most auspicious circumstance - the land cheap, credit long, a fatherly patronage almost; no one of these settlers was ever reduced to the necessity of going from home for the necessaries of life. This was no ordinary beginning, it has been providentially a felicitous one; happiness has generally reigned throughout. In all our meetings, whether of a public nature or for innocent amusement and recreation, the utmost harmony and decorum ever prevailed. Coming together as we did from all points of the compass, the intelligence of the American character was at all times conspicuous. In our little gatherings a dignity and propriety of conduct was observed that would have been creditable to a more polished society.
"Where can we find a better country in all respects than this which we now inhabit - scarcely a 150 acre lot but what is well watered with delightful streams - the soil good, country healthy, turnpikes and town roads in every direction and kept in good order, rendering travel safe and pleasant. The village is so happily situated from the great thoroughfares of the railroads as to be free from the demoralizing effects of corrupt populations which are to be found in such places. This place is so situated that it has no rival to contend with - in short, this section of country seems to be a little world by itself and each one seems to be contented with his own business.
Footnote I-1
The Village of Cazenovia lies only partially in the tract originally purchased by Mr. Lincklaen, the center of Seminary Street being the north line of that purchase. Afterwards, when it became desirable to use land to the north of this for the village plot, some 10,000 acres of the New Petersburg Tract were purchased. The southern part of the purchase, however, was not as favorable for cultivation as the northern; it was more liable to frost, and the soil different. It lay, too, out of the direction of the tide of emigration that was then lust beginning to roll with great strength and velocity toward the western part of the state.
Footnote I-2
"Riding and tying;" i.e. one rides ahead, and gets off, and ties the horse to a bush and walks onward; the one left behind walks until he comes up to the horse, then mounts and rides ahead; and so on alternately.
Footnote I-3
The writer is a descendant of this Joseph Atwell, who had brought his family the year before from Connecticut where they had lived some time. One of Joseph's grandsons, George H. Atwell, moved his family from Pompey Hollow to Cazenovia, purchasing a home on Sullivan Street, where he lived nearly forty years.
Footnote I-4
This farm was purchased in 1810 by Ephraim Tillotson and in later years known as the Burr Wendell farm. The writer's grandmother, Orange Tillotson Atwell, was born on and married from this farm.
Footnote I-5
The name "Cazenove" appears on a silver name plate on a pew in Christ Church, Alexandria, Virginia, where George Washington worshipped.
Footnote I-6
The John Lincklaen marker, just inside the entrance to the Owahgena [now Cazenovia] Clubhouse grounds, indicates the location of this first house.

Canberra centre Jarrod Croker says he hopes Raiders fans will get stuck into his former teammate Josh Dugan when he returns to GIO Stadium for the first time this Saturday.
Dugan was sacked by the Raiders last year after a string of off-field incidents, leaving a sour taste in the mouths of many frustrated NRL fans - not to mention a few teammates.
But the NSW State of Origin star has since re-ignited his career at St George Illawarra, and this Saturday's clash in Canberra will be his first visit back to his old stomping ground.
When asked if he was hoping the crowd wouldn't get stuck into his former teammate and friend too much, Croker replied with a smile: "I'd like them to get into him a bit.
"I still see Dugan every now and then and have a chat to him. But I haven't seen him for a while."
However with Dugan an abrasive player who relishes challenges, Croker did admit the plan could backfire.
"He's probably the sort of player that will probably thrive off the back of that," Croker said.
"He'll be down here for a big game and will have all his boys geed up as well."
Croker added that the team's pre-game talk would be about how good a player Dugan is, and not his mired history at the club.
"We know how good a player he is, he's the Origin centre," Croker said.
"So that's what's going to be talked about this week, but I'm sure there will be a lot of other rubbish thrown up about it all."

Jun 23 (TheWrap.com) - Tribeca Film announced on Monday that it has picked up North American distribution rights to Alex Ross Perry's sophomore directorial vehicle "Listen Up Philip," starring Jason Schwartzman and Elizabeth Moss. It's been set for an Oct. 17, 2014 release in the U.S., followed by a VOD premiere the following week.
The dark comedy, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, follows Schwartzman's novelist Philip as he awaits the release of his second novel, sure to be a success in his own mind. Driven to annoyance by the city and a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend (Moss), he jumps at the chance to seek refuge in an idyllic country house offered up by his idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce), where he can focus on his favorite topic: Himself.
"Driven by a superbly acidic performance by Jason Schwartzman and equally fuelled by its allusions to and by inspiration from Philip Roth, director/writer Alex Ross Perry's 'Listen Up Philip' is a revelation by a uniquely gifted filmmaker," said Geoff Gilmore, Chief Creative Officer of Tribeca Enterprises.
"Listen Up Philip" also stars Krysten Ritter, Joséphine de La Baume, Dree Hemingway and Jess Weixler, and was produced by Katie Stern and Joshua Blum at Washington Square Films, and Toby Halbrooks, James M. Johnston & David Lowery of Sailor Bear.

DETROIT - According to CBS Sports insider Jeff Goodman, Michigan point guard Trey Burke is going to the NBA after his single season with the Wolverines.
However, the college basketball player's father, Benji Burke, tweeted his son is still at the school and has not declared for the pro draft.
"Trey Burke has not declared for the NBA draft," Benji Burke tweeted Wednesday. "He is still enrolled at the University of Michigan."
Rumors have swirled about the sophomore guard joining the NBA next season, but that issue still remains rumors.
Michigan's former starting point guard, Darius Morris, left the team last season and was replaced by Burke who averaged 14.8 points, 4.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds with the Wolverines this season.

reverse proxy with apache 2
I need to reverse proxy using a linux box from the dmz to an exchange server offering webmail.......I tried squid and failed......I got far with apache 2 until I had to compile mod_proxy_html with apxs which redhat enterprise 4 does not have.
How do you install apxs?
I got through compiling and installing apache 2 and the config directives in the tutorial from apache week using proxypass and proxyreversepass and <location/> but nothing works
It seems this shouldn't be that hard but this is my 3rd day of work wasted on this annoying problem.....please anyone help.....!!
I found how to do reverse proxy w apache 2 that works with http and https
I got this working finally with the following two additions to httpd.conf:
ProxyPass / http://aserver.yoursite.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://aserver.yoursite.com/
Typing the name of the box this apache is running on into a browser gives me the first page of the webserver on aserver.yoursite.com
say this box is conan
type http://conan OR https://conan into internet explorer gives
"hi this is the first web
page of aserver.yoursite.com"
so it works for https and http!!!! AWESOME
I spent so much time fiddling with squid and apache I wana scream!
I then ran a chkconfig --level 345 httpd on into my redhat ent 4 linux shell to make apache 2 restart upon reboot

William Edgar Stafford was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, on January 17, 1914, to Ruby Mayher and Earl Ingersoll Stafford. The eldest of three children, Stafford grew up with an appreciation for nature and books.
During the Depression the family moved from town to town as Earl Stafford searched for jobs. William helped to support the family also, by delivering papers, working in the sugar beet fields, raising vegetables, and as an electrician's mate. In 1933 Stafford graduated from high school in Liberal, Kansas, and attended Garden City and El Dorado junior colleges, graduating from the University of Kansas in 1937. In 1939 Stafford enrolled at the University of Wisconsin to begin ... more »

Can someone tell me the name of the poem by William Stafford that someone on Oregon Art Beat recently referred to as having helped her during a time of grief? It ended with the sky, the sky, the sky. The title was something about a little girl and a fence for something? I've not located it as yet. Thanks for any help.
Shelly Mccausland
Recently watched Oregon Art Beat where they featured William Stafford. Loved, loved his poetry.....it's how I think. It's inspiring me to get back into writing myself.
Norbert Hirschhorn
William Stafford's Traveling Through the Dark: I am surprised how the poem is always misread. The doe 'had stiffened already, almost cold', i.e, several hours along since death, which makes it impossible for a fawn to be still alive. The whole premise of the poem is thus false, and the dilemma inauthentically presented. Stafford was a man who understood nature and creatures, and so I have to wonder what was he thinking in creating this bit of fiction.
A Ritual To Read To Each Other
If you don't know the kind of person I am
and I don't know the kind of person you are
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.
For there is many a small betrayal in the mind,
a shrug that lets the fragile sequence break
sending with shouts the horrible errors of childhood
storming out to play through the broken dyke.
And as elephants parade holding each elephant's tail,
but if one wanders the circus won't find the park,
I call it cruel and maybe the root of all cruelty
to know what occurs...

The cold rips through me like a bullet. Like a million bullets all at once. I gasp.
Rise and crash, rise and crash. Rise. Crash.
Tumble. Turn. Flurry. Up?
There's bubbles in my vision. They float. They glow like pearls. As if time has slowed I watch them rise.
And then there's pain. A dagger in my chest. And someone's twisting it.
I've always liked the colour blue but now I can't escape it. Where did the white go? And the yellow? What happened to the sun?
Silence. There was noise before. A gushing in my ears. It's gone too. Why do they leave?
I was wrong. Blue is lovely. And calm. And soothing. A slave to the pain. But now there is darkness. And it's closing in.
I want the blue. Where is the blue? My blue. Mine. I panic.
My limbs feel heavy. When did that happen? I push with my hands. I kick with my feet. I want to find my blue. But the darkness. It doesn't like my blue. It's keeping it from me. I want to cry.
And there's silver. A flash here. A shimmer there. And green eyes. Angel's eyes.
I'm probably dead.
White. White light. And warmth in the cold. Against my breast. Against my cheek.
On my lips.
And suddenly I'm not so scared of death. It has old friends. I press myself into the warmth.
But there's no clouds. No halos. No golden gates.
Just green eyes.
And sparkling tails.
And castles under the sea.

Paint: Platform 9 3/4 sign
If you are a Harry Potter fan than you know the meaning behind this sign.
(I knew nothing about Harry Potter before this project - read the background info here.)
A custom request from a reader who is in the process of transforming her large garage into a British Pub, including a vestibule area meant to look and feel like Kings Cross Station where this sign will go.
She sent me a picture of the real sign in Kings Cross Station used in the filming of the movie:

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals' upcoming fourth album is shaping up to be a concept-driven affair – at least according to the band's eponymous frontwoman. Titled "The Lion The Beast The Beat", the new LP – which is due out sometime this summer – will allegedly boast a more thematic flow than their previous efforts.
"I think there's a Lion and a Beast within all of us – as humans. There's also true goodness, and the appearance of goodness…" said Potter in a statement announcing details of the new album. "Maybe I've watched too much 'Mad Men', but I'm in love with the idea of a story with no heroes and no villains and these themes just kept creeping into all the new songs and I didn't fight it. I decided to embrace it."
Song titles on the album include "Stars," "The Divide," "Steady," "Parachute Heart," "Never Go Back," "Loneliest Soul" and the title track, with "Never Go Back" and "Loneliest Soul" having been co-written by Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach
"The way we've always made records is to put together a list of 30 or so songs, pick the best ones, throw them together and hope it congeals," said Potter. "I didn't want to do that this time. I came up with the track order before we recorded so we could really bring you in and out of these songs like scenes in a movie. I want to bring the listener into our weird fantasy and keep them there."
The album was co-produced by Potter and Grammy-winning producer Jim Scott, who has worked with acts including The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty and the Dixie Chicks.
Before, during and after their big Coachella dates on April 14th and 21st, the band will also be embarking on a U.S. tour, part of which will see them accompanying country superstars Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw on their "Brothers of the Sun" tour, which kicks off in June. Potter previously collaborated with Chesney on "You and Tequila", the fourth single off his 2010 album "Hemingway's Whiskey". The track has been nominated for 2 Grammys this year, in the categories of Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
Below you can find a full list of the band's 2012 tour dates (including festival appearances), with more to be announced later:

Ask around for the most popular places to eat in Bali, and frequent mention would be made of 'warungs' – simple roadside dining spots presenting their own specialty cuisine. Definitely not the modern restaurants that have borrowed and fused the word 'warung' into their name, simply for the sake of branding, these warungs are authentic. No doubt this list will cause debate but note that it is a breakaway from our list of trendy upscale restaurants, and it is more focused on those serving outright cheap and local food. We've also left out those that have shifted their market from local to tourists and somehow bloated their prices along the way.
These are all budget options with no fuss about fancy interior design, silver cutlery or cushioned chairs. If you don't mind getting in line and practicing a bit of Indonesian (and Balinese!) body language in placing your order, then settling down in a non-air-conditioned space on plastic stools or wooden benches and tables, with toilet paper rolls for napkins, then you're in for the ultimate local dining experience. The list will surely change in the future but here are our most popular 10 to date, each listed under Bali's most favourite dishes to try while on holidays here.
- Bali Hai Sunset Dinner Cruise
- Bathe & Breakfast with the Elephants
- Royal Mengwi Temple, Monkey Forest & Tanah Lot Excursion
- Quad or Buggy Driving Adventure & Tubing Excursion
- Romantic Aristocat Evening Cruise with 5-Course Dinner

Sunsets and seafood galore
Whenever you are craving for some local style seafood, head to this fishing villlage south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, which also serves as one of the island's main panoramic beaches to enjoy a dinner against beautiful sunsets. All of the restaurants lining the coast offer menus focusing on seafood, and some even have live showcases where you can take your pick and have them cooked to your preferences with a selection of barbecue sauces. There are a total seventeen seafood cafes to choose from with candlelit tables set out on the sand. Some even have French Fries, fried rice, chop suey and other western and Asian cuisine on their menus for variety, and even expand their seafood selections to barracuda, mahi-mahi and kingfish.

Until noon only
A typical early morning sight on Pantai Segara in Sanur is a crowd patiently sitting around tables waiting for this small shop to open. This is Warung Nasi Bali Men Weti, where weekending locals and holidaying Jakartans love to brunch – on spicy nasi campur! Right by the coast, this simple warung has wooden benches and chairs around the footpath. Men Weti herself takes her time preparing her stall and in front of the hungry onlookers – she rules them. Her dishes commonly comprise Bali spiced roast chicken, betutu, deep-fried crispy chicken skin, Balinese chicken sate lilit, spicy chicken soup, half egg topped with hot tomato sambal, blanched cassava leaves, shredded coconut lawar mix, fried peanuts and a special sambal that consists of sliced shallots, chilli and salt. You'll also have other selections of seafood to choose from. Closes by noon.
- Opening Hours: 08.00 - 12.00
- Location: Jl. Pantai Segara, Sanur
This humble 'warung' is another gem amidst the luxury villas and international restaurants on Jalan Petitenget. Warung Eny has all the features that make it authentic: fresh vegetables and spices in assorted displays at front, an open kitchen behind a food display, and friendly service by none other than the Balinese family owners. Being in the middle of an international audience, the spot has attracted guests from all over the world, mostly those who are simply looking for something authentically Balinese amidst the fancy Western diners. This warung serves nasi campur with a variety of side dishes to choose from, and you can ask for a watered-down version of the usually hot sambal sauce, which they'll prepare fresh from the ingredients readily in stock at front. Warung Eny is also among the very few traditional, household style Balinese warungs that hosts cooking classes, sharing their valuable knowledge with anyone interested in learning to make and enjoy authentic, local homemade Balinese cuisine.

Ubud outskirts
On the outskirts of Ubud, there's a local institution that serves nasi ayam or 'chicken rice', a similar dish to nasi campur. Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Bu Mangku is a favourite lunch stopovers among drivers, guides and staff of the neighbouring hotels in Kedewatan. Foreigners have acquired the taste and the place has caught on. There are many similar nasi ayam warungs along the Kedewatan road, but many locals refer to Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Bu Mangku as the original and the best. The place is clean and the Balinese owners have upgraded their venue to feature cosy and homey setups on their own traditional Balinese household compound. You won't find this kind of authentic atmosphere elsewhere. Your standard rice dish consists of sauced chicken strips, deep-fried crackling entrails, half 'pindang' or sweet-boiled eggs, chicken saté, stir-fried snake beans in shredded coconut and the optional sambal.
- Opening Hours: 08:00 – 18:00

Juicy chicken and duck
Betutu is Bali's pride, on par with the babi guling – whole roast pig. In olden times, with its arduous preparation and cooking process, these two dishes were meant only for religious purposes and temple anniversaries. Betutu comprises chicken or duck, stuffed, marinated and wrapped in banana leaves with rich Balinese spices, then slowly cooked covered in coal for hours. The meat is succulent, and easily slips off the bone. The main ingredients include almost all the spices known in the Balinese kitchen: chilli, pecans, onions, lemongrass, galangal, nutmeg, turmeric, lime leaves, ginger and coriander, a bit of sugar and salt, and other few variations – extremely spicy, so beware! A few local businesses have harnessed the technique to serve betutu on a daily basis. One of them is Ayam Betutu Gilimanuk, which has branches in Denpasar, Kuta and Nusa Dua. There are many other Balinese delights on its menu that you can try too, such as crispy fried paddy eels, 'lawar' and traditional 'ares' soup. After this fiery experience, you'll find relief in their soothing coconut ice creams.
- Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00

Legendary Sanur soup
For a typically Balinese bouillabaisse, 'sop ikan' locally, head to Sanur where there are several warungs that serve rice dishes with their tasty soup made from fresh catches of the day. First to come to mind is Warung Mak Beng, right before the sand on Jalan Hang Tuah. This warung opens late and closes early, offering a limited menu of fish soup, fried fish and an assortment of sambal, but draws many to its humble venue. The stock used is a spicy infusion, served hot. If that's too much for you to handle, go for the fried selections. The queue usually gets long during lunchtime, and don't be surprised to see people waiting for others before them to finish. The warung is a Sanur legend, being in business since 1941. With its longstanding success, Mak Beng has managed to retain its humble setting. The high spiciness levels match its sometimes hot setting – no air conditioners, only fans and seaside breezes.

Unique tastes
Another institution in Denpasar that has its own unique offering is Tipat Tahu Gerenceng – a name that simply gives it away. The local favourite dish comprises ketupat rice dumplings that are boiled in square woven coconut leaf packets, 'tipat' in the simplified Balinese tongue, and tofu – served with a delicious peanut and sweet soy sauce, bean sprouts and rice crackers. The locals consider it a filling treat apt for lunch, or an afternoon snack. The small warung on the intersection of Jalan Soetomo and Gajah Mada in Denpasar has been serving the dish for years, and Denpasar locals know it well. Cheap and simple but tasty, to wash them down there's bottled soft drinks, hot or iced tea, and 'soda gembira' or condensed milk with sugar syrup and soda water on ice.
- Opening Hours: 10:00 – 17:00
- Location: Jalan Dr. Soetomo, Denpasar
Traditional snack haven in Denpasar
To Denpasar locals, this is one of the culinary treasures, one that answers their craving of heritage Balinese cuisine. Warung Rujak Gula Bali serves varieties of traditional favourites. Among them is rujak, a fruit salad that comes in different types but with typically spicey characteristics. Other delicacies are tipat cantok (similar to the dishes at Tipat Tahu Gerenceng), bulung or seaweed salad served with thin fish stock, and numerous Balinese desserts such as kolak or sweet gelatinous boiled bananas, bubur sumsum smooth rice porridge, daluman glass jelly drinks, and mashed steamed cassavas served with thick palm sugar-infused coconut milk.

An acquired taste
We've mentioned 'lawar' among the offerings of several warungs above, "but what is lawar?" you may ask. It is one of the traditional Balinese dishes with varieties named according to the dominant meat it comprises. The original recipe called 'red lawar' involves shredded coconut, snake beans and chopped pork with… fresh blood. But with time, 'white lawar' – a vegetarian version has become commonplace, and some include meat other than pork such as duck, known locally as 'kuwir'. Lawar is an acquired taste, even among the young locals, and the foremost place to try it is Lawar Kuwir Men Sono, a warung in the village of Sangeh that is a rustic setting apt for a culinary adventure. A serving consists of a plate of rice, saté, lawar, and jukut ares vegetable mixes with duck meat. It's a great stopover on the way to Sangeh Monkey Forest. Open in the morning, the warung closes once the stock is finished – usually around noon.
- Opening Hours: 08:00 – 12:00
- Location: Sangeh, Abiansemal, Badung
Balinese iconic dish
Bali's favourite dish – babi guling – whole roast pig. You might have heard about 'the best babi guling' in Ubud, but if you ask the locals, they'd just frown at how touristy and overpriced they have become. But there's one that strikes a balance, and which locals often mention: Babi Guling Pak Malen is one of the best choices due to its strategic location in Seminyak, which is a touristy area, but nevertheless where it keeps its identity as a true warung, catering to locals and interested Westerners. Right on the traffic light corner of Seminyak's Sunset Road, Pak Malen has become a landmark for hungry diners. Very busy at lunchtime, you'll see the main display of the usual roast pig together with all the succulent trimmings. You can wait for your portion before heading to your seat, or sit down and let the wait staff take your order, along with a beer, soft drink, glass of tea, or crushed orange. Your plate comes with a serving of centrepiece rice, surrounded by pork meat and crispy crunchy skin (the best part!), pork sate, succulent sayur urap – snake bean and shredded coconut salad mix. Usually you also get a bowl of pork soup with young jackfruit slices, but they run out of stock even before lunchtime, with everything sold out by early afternoon.

February 7, 2014 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau
Jalandhar, Punjab (February 07, 2014): It is learnt that Dera Noormehal or the so-called Divya Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan (DJJS) has banned media inside the dera.
The dera had been keeping secrecy over the suspected death of controversial godman and dera head 'Ahutosh', whole dead body is not shown to any outsider, including the police administration. Some media sections had reported that except few from the dera management, none else, including dera followers, were allowed to see Ashutosh's dead body.
According to a news published on YesPunjab.Com, an online news portal by senior journalist H. S. Bawa: "Caught on the wrong foot over its claims denying the death of Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan (DJJS) head Ashutosh, the dera management on Thursday (February 06) barred the entry of the media to the premises".
All media OB (outdoor broadcasting) vans have been told to leave the dera and allowed by the police to be stationed on the busy Nakodar-Nurmahal road.
According to information a few print media-persons who managed to get into the dera were not allowed to enter the core premises, where the office of the sect is situated.
DJJS spokesman Swami Vishalananda, in a statement, said the way media had reported the issue had hurt the sentiments of followers of the dera head.
"We request the media to publish the news keeping in mind the faith of crores of sect disciples," said Vishalananda.
The sect spokesman also targeted Puran Singh, Ashutosh's former driver, who had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the Punjab and Haryana high court, alleging the sect head's illegal confinement by four of its members.
According to news published on YesPunjab.Com (YP): [t]he sansthan's personal security wing cordoned off the entire dera premises on Thursday (Feb. 06).
A few employees of the electronic media were reportedly threatened by dera men over airing anything against the dera.

Until recently, about the only thing green about NASCAR was Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s paint scheme.
Tuesday, a day before Earth Day, Toyota and Lowe's Motor Speedway unveiled something else green — an environmentally friendly Toyota Camry Hybrid that will serve as the pace car for the May 24 Coca-Cola 600.
In a sport that still races cars with carburetor engines and only moved to unleaded fuel in 2008, why a hybrid?
"We see it as a demonstration of performance," said Ed Laukes, Toyota's corporate manager of motorsports marketing. "The fact we can take a car literally anyone can buy down at their local Toyota dealer and go out and pass the performance characteristics required by NASCAR, we think that is pretty exciting."
To be approved as a pace car, the Camry Hybrid had to pass a NASCAR-mandated performance test. To run at Lowe's, a pace car is required to reach speeds close to 100 mph from a stand-by position near the exit of pit road to the time it reaches the exit of Turn 2 — a distance of about a quarter of a mile.
A Ford Fusion Hybrid paced the green flag in last season's Sprint Cup Series finale at Homestead, Fla., but wasn't used after that because it didn't meet the performance standards. The Camry Hybrid will be the first to be used throughout a race and will be used at five more races this season — the October race at Charlotte, at Infineon Raceway, Chicagoland Speedway, Watkins Glen, N.Y., and the October race at Martinsville, Va.
Both teams have underperformed this season, the first in which Richard Childress Racing is fielding four full-time cars. Team owner Childress said he'll swap the crews to get both teams performing up to their standards. The move comes after RCR's dismal showing Saturday night at Phoenix International Raceway, where the team has traditionally run well.
Harvick, a two-time Phoenix winner, was 30th in his worst finish at that track in six seasons. He has slipped six spots in the standings to 16th over the past two weeks, and has four finishes of 27th or worse this season. He also takes a 79-race winless streak, dating to the 2007 Daytona 500, into Sunday's race at Talladega.
Mears, who received a six-race probation by NASCAR on Wednesday for a skirmish with Dale Earnhardt Jr., is off to a slow a start in his first season with RCR. He's 22nd in the standings and has yet to notch a top-10 finish this season.
The drivers will swap their entire crews after Sunday's race, but both will keep their spotters.

Science in Christian Perspective
The Appeal (the Necessity?) of Complementarity
Richard H. Bube
Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Stanford University Stanford, California 94305
From: JASA 35 December 1983): 240-242.
In his two articles on complementarity (Journal ASA 35, 145 and 203 (1983)) John W. Haas, Jr. has summarized some of the problems associated with using the concept of "complementarity" for science/theology interactions. The interesting feature of this discussion is that there are not that many choices. As Haas points out in his first paper, Christians have a choice among three options for relating science and Christian faith. They can adopt a conflict perspective in which it is believed that science and Christian theology say the same kinds of things about the same thing, one must choose which has demonstrated the other to be wrong in all the major cases where they appear to interact. They can alternatively adopt a compartmentalization perspective in which it is believed that science and Christian theology say different kinds of things about different things; this calls for a schizophrenic response toward life and meaning. If neither of these two perspectives is appealing, then some approach appears necessary in which it is recognized that science and Christian theology say different kinds of things about the same thing, both descriptions deal with the same reality, but tell us different things about it without inducing conflict or contradiction. The appropriate response to compartmentalization is integration. It is in the affirmation of this approach that the concept of complementarity is called into service. It is essential to note that it is complementary descriptions that are the focus of attention. Scientific descriptions are valid when scientific categories and methods of description are used, and theological descriptions are valid when theological categories of description are used. What should be the relationship between two descriptions in order for them to be called complementary? And what does this mean? Haas has enabled us to see the refinements that are necessary to answer these questions. In this Communication I give a brief overview of the issues.
The application of the term "complementary" to two descriptions stems from the fact that any description of what is unknown must be given in terms of what is known, by telling what the unknown is like. It is in this sense that all scientific and theological models should be recognized as similes, metaphors, or allegories, as recently described at some length by Poythress.1 If to the request, "Describe an apple for me," from one who has never seen an apple, I reply, "An apple is usually red like a cherry, juicy like a peach, and firm like a pear," I have used three similes. Each is partially truthful, but none is totally truthful by itself. By knowing all three similes I know more about an apple than by knowing only one or two of them. If to these similes I add, "An apple is like a Japanese persimmon except that its inside is white rather than pink," I would know still more about an apple (provided that I was acquainted with Japanese persimmons), while still not knowing exactly what an apple is. Such simile descriptions could be multiplied many times over, giving a greater and greater awareness of what an apple is, but never converging on an accurate statement of what an apple is. Descriptions that are of partial or limited truthfulness (accuracy, exactness, correspondence with reality) may be said to be complementary.
Why do we give such complementary descriptions? There are two
fundamental reasons that correspond to the "Classical Complementarity" and the "Logical Complementarity" discussed by Haas. Our
everyday example of the apple illustrates both of these reasons. In
the first place our descriptions are complementary because we are forced to use similes, metaphors,
or allegories to describe the unknown in terms of,the known; such metaphorical descriptions are
bound to be complementary. In the second place each of our
descriptions focusses on a different range of categories of the apple:
its color, its reaction with our taste sensors, its feeling to the touch,
and its general appearance and texture, respectively. Since each
description arises out of a different category of description, it again
follows that their contributions must be additive, and that the
individual descriptions can be properly viewed as complementary.
We can give a few examples of these two reasons for formulating and
types of complementary descriptions to illustrate.
Limitations on the Known to Describe the Unknown
The first reason that it becomes necessary for us to use complementary descriptions is that we do not have the needed "tools" among the known to adequately describe the unknown with a single model or description. Reality in all it complexity is not apprehendable by the human mind. Particular models give particular insight into the nature of reality, but they of necessity convey partial and incomplete truth. It follows that more than one model is needed to encompass the full dimensions of reality.
This kind of complementary description usually arises in the context of science and Christian theology when descriptions are selected from the same area (science or Christian theology) as the phenomenon to be described. Thus scientific metaphors are used to describe scientific phenomena; and theological metaphors are used to describe theological phenomena. The classical example from within science is the description of an electron as a particle, and the description of an electron as a wave. The concept "particle" and the concept "wave" are drawn from our macroscopic experience. When we attempt to apply these macroscopic similes to the microscopic world of the electron, we are enabled to say what an electron is like, but not what an electron is. I do not think that we need to invoke the Indeterminacy Principle or the interaction between the observer and the observed to make this point. If we could invent a sufficiently ingenious model that would transcend the macroscopic concepts of "particle" and "wave," then we might be able to resolve the complementarity between "particle" and "wave" by arriving at a model more faithful to the properties of an actual electron; perhaps in time we will find such a model. Until then we recognize that it is significant to state than an electron behaves like a macroscopic particle when its trajectory in vacuum under an applied electric and/or magnetic field is considered, but that an electron behaves like a macroscopic wave when it interacts with crystalline matter in the phenomenon of diffraction.
Biblical inspiration does not deliver us from the limitations imposed by the necessity to describe the unknown in terms of the known. What biblical inspiration secures is the assurance that the models so presented will indeed provide us with reliable partial truths. The theological models within which we describe the relationship between God's election and human responsibility (or between predestination and free will, or between determinism and free will as applied to human beings) provide us with useful and partially true representations as long as we remember their limited nature (their complementary character). Just as the question, "What is an electron like?" cannot be answered without knowing the answer to the correlated question, "What kind of experiment are you talking about?" (since the answer would be "Like a particle" if one were considering motion in a vacuum, but it would be "Like a wave" if one were considering diffraction from a crystal), so also the question, "What does the Bible teach on the relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility?" can be answered only if we know the content of the question. If the question is, "Does God have to wait for human beings to act before He can accomplish His purpose?" the answer is no. But if the question is, "Must a human being commit him/herself to God in order that God's purpose may be accomplished through them?" the answer is yes. From God's perspective His sovereignty is unquestionable; from the human perspective our responsibility is equally unquestionable. What is the cause of this situation? Our human concepts of sovereignty, election, determinism, responsibility, predestination, free will etc., to say nothing of our human concepts of time and interaction, are sufficiently limited that we cannot construct with these human concepts alone a single fully adequate description of the Divine Dynamics of life. Because of this, the biblical writers by inspiration have provided us with several complementary models in order that we might not be misled (in order that we might not believe, by analogy, that an electron is really a particle which just looks like a wave once in a while, or that an electron is really a wave which just looks like a particle once in a while, i.e., that God really "runs the show" without our involvement and our sense of responsibility is only an illusion, or that God's sovereignty is really reducible to His foreknowledge of what we in our free will do).
Another familiar example within the Christian context is the biblical teaching on the atonement. Here the biblical writers invoke a whole series of different similes in order to convey in some sense as much of the true nature of the atonement as it is possible to do when limited to the categories of everyday human experience. Thus the biblical writers tell as that the atonement is like healing and wholeness (salvation), like being bought back from slavery (redemption), like recovering from estrangement (reconciliation), like triumph over the Devil (victory), like having a legal debt paid by another (sacrifice). Each of these models tells us something true and reliable about the meaning, purpose, and accomplishments of the atonement; our understanding of the atonement is enriched by considering them all, yet never can be expected to encompass the totality of the atonement. These are complementary biblical descriptions of the atonement.
Are the complementary statements describing biblical doctrine
exactly the same kind of statements as those describing the properties of an electron? Perhaps not. But their origin is the same; the
limitations imposed on us when we try to describe the unknown in
terms of the known.
Descriptions Drawn from Different Realms of Discourse
Descriptions must be given within a particular realm of discourse. Thus the color of an apple can be described by a variety of similes, but always within the categories of the color spectrum. Another occasion for the development of complementary descriptions arises quite independently of our limitations on describing the unknown in terms of the known: the limitations that we ourselves impose on a description by choosing its context in a particular set of categories.
This kind of origin for complementary descriptions can also be seen within a particular discipline, for example, science. In fact the various branches of science, extending from physics and chemistry to sociology through biology, botany, zoology, psychology and many others, each define the domain of its own description. The claim that there is only one domain within which a valid description can be given is known as reductionism and philosophically finds little support. Thus a description of an event in the life of a living creature can be given in terms of the physics of the event, the chemistry of the event, the biology of the event, the psychology of the event, and the sociology of the event, if we choose to remain within the scientific sphere as a whole. We do not expect these different kinds of description to give the same information, but neither do we expect them to contradict one another. Rather we expect them to be complementary. Phenomena involving human beings must be described scientifically with contributions from all these different domains; the goal is to integrate them into a total perspective.
The questions that we ask and the context in which we ask them may limit the appropriate categories of the responding descriptions. If we ask for the appearance of a classic painting, but insist that our answer must come from what we see when observing it with a microscope (thereby limiting ourselves to a narrow range of interpersonal categories), our response is quite different from what would be given if we stood back twelve feet from the painting and saw it within its full context and human correlations. The two descriptions that we would offer in this way might very well be said to be complementary since they apply to the same object but are drawn from different realms of discourse, as dictated by the examination procedures prescribed.
Now it is evident that descriptions drawn from the realm of science and descriptions drawn from the realm of Christian theology come from different realms of discourse. That there exists a viable description from the realm of science does not a priori mean that no viable description from the realm of theology can be given; conversely, that there exists a viable description from the realm of theology does not mean that no viable description from the realm of science can be offered. Because of the orientation of the two realms, science being a subset of the disciplines of which theology is the most completely integrating, there may well be special cases where no scientific description can be given (e.g., miracles), whereas there are no cases in which theological descriptions would not be appropriate.
In this sense, then, it appears that we may meaningfully speak of scientific descriptions and theological descriptions having the capability of being complementary: when they deal with the same phenomenon of reality and when they give descriptions of that phenomenon out of their own realms of discourse using categories and methods appropriate to those realms.
It is helpful to realize that we use the term "complementary" in a number of different ways, and for two basic reasons. We need to realize that the "complementary" descriptions offered are not identical when responding to these two different reasons. We may indeed debate whether one should say that science and theology arc complementary, but it does not appear that there is any debate that scientific descriptions are often complementary to theological descriptions of the same events. If this were not the case, what other option do we have?

Troupsburg is a town in Steuben County, New York, United States. The population was 1,126 at the 2000 census. The town is named after Robert Troup, an agent of the Pulteney Estate.
The Town of Troupsburg is on the southern border of Steuben county, south of Hornell, New York.
The first settler arrived in 1805. The town was formed (as "Troupsburgh") from the Towns of Canisteo and Addison on February 12, 1808.
The Honorable Colonel Robert Troup, Esq. served in the American Revolution in addition to being a Federal judge and later land agent for the Pulteney Estate. The Pulteney Estate was a large tract of land stretching from Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario south to the Pennsylvania border. Its western border was the Genesee River and its eastern border was Seneca Lake. Troup took over as land agent for the Pulteney Estate after its first agent, Charles Williamson, fell out of favor with the Estate owners due to large debts he incurred in an attempt to develop the land.
Additional territory was added to Troupsburg from Canisteo in 1818. Troupsburg was subsequently diminished by contributing land to the Towns of Greenwood, New York and Jasper in 1827, and again to aid the formation of the Town of Woodhull in 1828.
