Preliminary data show an uptick in New York's major crimes last year following a decade-long drop, though law enforcement officials say it remains one of the safest states.
The Division of Criminal Justice Services says New York City showed a 3 percent increase in 2012, while the total in the rest of the state appeared to be flat, with violent crimes up 1.5 percent and property crimes down slightly.
Michael Green, the division's executive deputy commissioner, told legislators Wednesday that federal numbers show New York "continues to be the safest large state in the country," and the fourth safest overall behind the Dakotas and Idaho.
Statewide index crimes - murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and vehicle theft - declined to 446,733 in 2011, down 17 percent since 2002.
NY remains one of the safest states

The assassination of Burhanuddin Rabbani, who was spearheading the reconciliation process with the Taliban in Afghanistan, has changed the dynamics of peace in Aghanistan. The Afghan government has evidence that the assassination, carried out by the Quetta Shura Taliban headed by Mullah Omar and based in Pakistan, was supported, encouraged, and perhaps financed by the ISI, the Pakistani Intelligence Service. The Pakistanis vehemently deny this charge. However, it would seem that Pakistani…

Rihanna Returns to Her Natural Hair Color
The singer was spotted in Europe last weekend with darker and shorter locks peeking out from underneath a camouflage cap.
Over the past year, we have watched the edgy 22-year-old's hair color evolve from bleached blonde to two-toned tresses to bright crimson locks.
And her style has changed just as much, from her signature bowl cut to extra-long hair extensions to spiral curls. Rumor has it that her cherry red spiral mane was a wig!
The singer recently admitted to Interview magazine that it would be "selfish" to raise a child without both parents. The interview was conducted by the one and only Kanye West.
Rihanna, who is dating Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, is in no rush to have children though.

Exhibition of Photographs by Frederick Sommer and Friends Examines Continuities and Connections within the Artist's Work
Frederick Sommer, Valise d'Adam, 1949. gelatin silver print
National Gallery of Art, Washington, Gift of Frederick Sommer
Washington, DC—The National Gallery of Art explores the continuities in Frederick Sommer's varied body of work and demonstrates the influence of his friendships with fellow artists in the exhibition A World of Bonds: Frederick Sommer's Photography and Friendships, on view in the West Building from June 16 to August 4, 2013. Drawn from the Gallery's significant holdings, which include a major 1995 gift from the artist himself, the exhibition showcases 27 works by Sommer, Edward Weston, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Aaron Siskind, and Charles Sheeler, including three pieces on loan from other museums and private collections.
"The Gallery is privileged to display this influential body of work, which illuminates Frederick Sommer's interactions with his fellow artists," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. "In addition to photographs drawn from our permanent collection, we are grateful to the lenders who have assisted us in revealing the continuities in Sommer's broad range of work, as well as The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation for its generous support."
The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. It is made possible in part through the generous support of The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, Inc.
About the Exhibition
The exhibition showcases the beauty and diversity of Sommer's striking images and places them in the context of his formative friendships with such prominent contemporaries as Edward Weston, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Charles Sheeler, and Aaron Siskind.
As an artist, Frederick Sommer notoriously defies classification. Over the span of more than 60 years, he created paintings, drawings, and photographs, as well as collages, musical scores, poetry, and theoretical texts. Today, Sommer is best known for his photography, the medium in which he produced his most inventive visual experiments and which best suited the breadth of his visual interests. These ranged from disorienting desert landscapes to surrealistic arrangements of found objects, and to abstractions that brought together drawing and photography.
"All rare things should be lent away / and I have borrowed very freely," Sommer wrote of his art. He also asserted that "the world is not a world of cleavages, it is a world of bonds." This exhibition examines both claims, offering a glimpse into the ways in which Sommer shared ideas with his contemporaries while simultaneously creating a body of work uniquely his own.
About the Artist
Just as he defied the bounds of medium and genre, Sommer, who lived in the small town of Prescott, Arizona, also never fully belonged to any artistic group or movement. His work reflects both wide-ranging personal interests and a broad scope of artistic affinities with artists as divergent as the surrealists and the members of the f/64 group of West Coast photographers.
Sommer's circle of close artist-friends and mentors helps explain his idiosyncratic sensibilities. This circle included the photographer Edward Weston, whose precise attention to the details of the natural world inspired Sommer's turn to photography. Equally important to Sommer, however, was his friendship with Max Ernst, the surrealist whose automatic painting techniques and uncanny imagery encouraged Sommer to reconfigure familiar objects into strange new creations. Aaron Siskind was yet another close friend and peer with whom Sommer shared a fascination with the abstract textures of everyday materials. Other artists represented in the exhibition who influenced Sommer's approach to photographing assemblages and his exploration of photographic abstraction include Man Ray and Charles Sheeler.
Exhibition Curator and Related Offerings
The exhibition is curated by Ksenya Gurshtein, A.W. Mellon postdoctoral curatorial fellow in the Department of Photographs, National Gallery of Art.
Gurshtein will present a series of 30-minute gallery talks about the exhibition at noon on July 5, 12, 26, and August 2. Offered free of charge and on first-come, first-served basis, the tours begin in the West Building Rotunda on the Main Floor.

Introducing Spencer Baron, Assistant Director, MIC-Beijing
Earlier this semester (fall 2014), Spencer Baron, otherwise known as 白思亭 (Bai Siting), began working as Assistant Director in Beijing for the C. V. Starr Middlebury School in China, Beijing program, which Middlebury runs in partnership with CET. Spencer is a long-time veteran of the Middlebury Language schools, both as a student in the Chinese and Japanese summer schools and as a Bilingual for the past two summers in the Chinese school. Spencer loves his new position, his students, co-workers, and his many first-time experiences, as it is his first time in northern China. Spencer writes that students at MIC (Middlebury In China) Beijing have hit the ground running with their first classes and their one-on-one research tracks. The picture below is of a group of MIC Beijing students at 金山岭 (Jin Shan Ling), a more wild part of the great wall, after a very fulfilling and tiring day-long hike! Spencer writes, "They are still full of that 气 (qi)!" In the second photograph, the Director of MIC Beijing, Professor Zhang Kai (张凯) and Spencer are front holding the banner.

i bought a book there at the rangers station for 25 bucks. attached is an excerpt about custer and catherine's furnace. the wilderness campaign by garry h gallagher. i think that it is entirely possible that phillip was taken to a field hospital at carpenter road first.since it was so close to the battle. but the rangers said that he would probably go to the wilderness inn. the rangers were very accommodating and spent a good deal of time with me.even though i am a yankee. i am quite sure that eventually he was buried at fredericksburg nat'l cemetary anonymously. donald c troy Last edited on Tue Jul 19th, 2011 05:10 pm by DONALD C TROY |

Lost city
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2010) |
A lost city is a settlement that fell into terminal decline and became extensively or completely uninhabited. The location of many lost cities has been forgotten, but some have been rediscovered and studied extensively by scientists. Recently abandoned cities or cities whose location was never in question might be referred to as ruins or ghost towns. The search for such lost cities by European explorers and adventurers in the Americas, Africa, and Southeast Asia from the 15th century onwards eventually led to the development of archaeology.[1]
Lost cities generally fall into two broad categories: those where no knowledge of the city existed until the time of its rediscovery, and those where location has been lost but knowledge of its existence has been retained in myths, legends, or historical records.

How cities are lost[edit]
Cities may become lost for a variety of reasons including natural disasters, economic or social upheaval, or war.
The Incan capital city of Vilcabamba was destroyed and depopulated during the Spanish conquest of Peru in 1572. The Spanish did not rebuild the city and the location went unrecorded and was forgotten until it was rediscovered through a detailed examination of period letters and documents.
Troy was a city located in northwest Anatolia in what is now Turkey. It is best known for being the focus of the Trojan War described in the Greek Epic Cycle and especially in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer. Repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, the city slowly declined and was abandoned in the Byzantine era. Buried by time, the city was consigned to the realm of legend until the location was first excavated in the 1860s.
Other settlements are lost with few or no clues to their decline. Malden Island, in the central Pacific, was deserted when first visited by Europeans in 1825, but the unsuspected presence of ruined temples and the remains of other structures found on the island indicate that a population of Polynesians had lived there for perhaps several generations some centuries earlier. Prolonged drought seems the most likely explanation for their demise and the remote nature of the island meant few visitors.
With the development of archaeology and the application of modern techniques, many previously lost cities have been rediscovered.
Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian Inca site situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru. Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World. Machu Picchu was built around 1450, at the height of the Inca Empire. It was abandoned just over 100 years later, in 1572, as a belated result of the Spanish Conquest. It is possible that most of its inhabitants died from smallpox introduced by travelers before the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the area. In 1911, Melchor Arteaga led the explorer Hiram Bingham to Machu Picchu, which had been largely forgotten by everybody except the small number of people living in the immediate valley.
Helike was an ancient Greek city that sank at night in the winter of 373 BCE. The city was located in Achaea, Northern Peloponnesos, two kilometres (12 stadia) from the Corinthian Gulf. The city was thought to be legend until 2001, when it was rediscovered in the Helike Delta. In 1988, the Greek archaeologist Dora Katsonopoulou launched the Helike Project to locate the site of the lost city. In 1994 in collaboration with the University of Patras, a magnetometer survey was carried out in the midplain of the delta, which revealed the outlines of a buried building. In 1995 this target was excavated (now known as the Klonis site) and a large Roman building with standing walls was brought to light. The city was rediscovered in 2001 buried in an ancient lagoon.
Some cities which are considered lost are (or may be) places of legend.

- Paititi – A legendary city and refuge in the rainforests where Peru, Bolivia and Brazil meet.[2]
- Otuken - legendary capital city of Gokturks in Turkic mythology.
- Ai - important city in the Hebrew Bible.
- Sodom and Gomorrah
- Iram of the Pillars – this may refer to a lost Arabian city in the Empty Quarter but sources also identify it as a tribe or an area mentioned in the Quran.[3]
- Lost City of Z - A city allegedly located in the jungles of the Mato Grosso region of Brazil, was said to have been seen by the British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett sometime prior to World War I.[4]
- Aztlán- the ancestral homeland in Aztec mythology
Others, such as Troy and Bjarmaland, having once been considered legendary, are now known to have existed.

If you want to try to increase the chances of having a boy or a girl, sometimes it all comes down to how you do it – literally. While there is no 100% method that will guarantee that you can select the gender of your child, there are specific positions that you can try that will increase the likelihood of selecting the gender.This works for a variety of different reasons, but is based in the fact that the two kinds of chromosomes that are responsible for gender selection are carried by sperm that are very different. The Y chromosome is responsible for conceiving a boy. The sperm that carry this chromosome are small, quick and able to cover the distance to the egg very rapidly. The downside is they don't live very long and if they have to swim too far, they won't be able to complete their journey successfully.The X chromosome sperm are responsible for conceiving a girl. These sperm are much larger, and move quite a bit slower. However, they live a lot longer and have more endurance when it comes to reaching the egg.Here's what you need to know when it comes to picking positions to pick gender.How to Have a BoyBecause the Y sperm need a little extra help in reaching their destination before they expire, positions that allow deep penetration are essential. The goal is to have the man orgasm as closely as possible to the neck of the cervix. This reduces the amount of time that the sperm will need to spend getting to the egg.Positions that allow for this to occur include woman dominant, or woman on top as well as its other variation, commonly called Reverse Cowgirl. In these positions, the woman is astride the man and can control how deeply he penetrates her. At the moment of orgasm, the woman should allow the man inside as deeply as possible.There are a few other positions as well, but the important thing to remember is that the deeper the penetration at the moment of orgasm, the more likely you are to have a boy.How to Have a GirlIf you would prefer to have a girl, the proper positions involve much shallower penetration. The X sperm are much more durable and need a little more time to reach the egg, allowing the Y sperm to die off before they get there. This means that the man should orgasm as far away from the neck of the cervix as possible.Positions for shallow penetration include missionary, spooning and the lotus position where the couple wrap their legs around each other while sitting. The positions do not allow for deep penetration and the desired result of increasing the likelihood of having a girl can be achieved.Don't ForgetThere is one more thing to remember when choosing a position for choosing gender. If you do want to have a boy, it is important that the woman orgasm before the man. This changes the PH near the cervix, making it more hospitable to the Y sperm. The opposite is true if you want to have a girl.

Mutation in several different cistrons of bacteriophage phi chi 174 blocks net progeny single-stranded DNA synthesis at the late period of infection (15). For the study of the functions of these cistrons in single-stranded DNA synthesis, asymmetric replication of replicative form DNA was examined at the late period of infection with amber mutants of these cistrons. While the normal, rapid process of asymmetric single-stranded viral DNA synthesis is blocked at the late period of these mutant infections, an asymmetric synthesis of the viral strand of replicative-form DNA is observed in this period, though at a reduced level, together with degradation of prelabeled viral strand. Some intermediate replicative-form molecules were also detected. Asymmetric synthesis of the viral strand of replicative-form DNA at the late period of phi chi infection is completely inhibited in the presence of a low concentration (35mug/ml) of chloramphenicol (which also blocks net single-stranded viral DNA synthesis). These results are discussed in terms of the possible role of the specific viral proteins for normal single-stranded DNA synthesis.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -This time Minnesota finished what it started.
Marian Gaborik scored twice and added an assist to lead the Wild past the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Saturday night.
Brian Rolston and Branko Radivojevic also scored for Minnesota, which snapped a five-game winless streak. Niklas Backstrom stopped 23 shots in his return after missing four games because of a strained groin.
Jarome Iginla scored for Calgary, which has lost three of four. Alex Tanguay added an assist for his ninth point in five games.
When the teams met Oct. 24 in Calgary, Minnesota jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead, only to have the Flames rally to win 5-3. It was the first loss in Minnesota's winless slide.
"This was kind of revenge, and it was great that we battled hard and got two points," Gaborik said.
The contest was the start of eight straight games against Northwest Division foes for both teams. Minnesota, which entered the night tied with Colorado atop the division, now leads Calgary by three points.
"We beat them last time. They beat us. You want to have all of your division games for sure, but you are not going to," Iginla said. "Every loss feels tough, but more so when you lose to a division team that you are right beside in the standings. You have to think of the four-point swings and all that. But we play them six more times."
Rolston said the Wild is a much stronger mentally than it was 10 days ago, and what happened in Calgary will not happen again.
"We started making plays," he said. "Our D did a great job handling the puck when we had it and made good plays up the ice. We were able to tip it in and get some good chances offensively."
However, it was a Rolston slap shot from the left point that put Minnesota on the board 2:27 into the game. Mark Parrish screened Miikka Kiprusoff, who did not move on the shot.
"I told Mark that he gets an assist for every one I get from back there," Rolston said. "If Kiprusoff sees it, he's going to stop it."
Gaborik put Minnesota up 2-0 6:37 into the second, when he beat Kiprusoff on a breakaway.
With the Wild caught on a line change, Keith Carney slid to stop a shot during a 4-on-2 Calgary rush. James Sheppard corralled the loose puck and found Gaborik behind the Flames' defense just as he came onto the ice.
Gaborik has scored in both games after his two-game absence due to a groin injury.
"It was just fortuitous for them that they happen to get puck possession when he made his line change," Calgary coach Mike Keenan said. "You have to have better awareness. Our defense has to count the jersey in front of them and see that there are only four, and look around and see where the fifth is."
Iginla tipped a slap shot by Adrian Aucoin past Backstrom with 38 seconds left in the second period to make it a 2-1 game. Iginla is the leading career scorer against Minnesota with 23 goals and 17 assists in 37 games.
But Gaborik, who has 23 points in 32 career games against Calgary, returned the lead to two with a power-play goal early in the third.
A slap shot from Kim Johnsson was stopped by Kiprusoff, but Gaborik fought off a check by Aucoin and backhanded the rebound over the netminder.
Backstrom, now 18-0-0 in his career when leading going into the third period, made a pad save on a shot by Kristian Huselius to thwart Calgary's best scoring chance in the final period.
Calgary was 0-for-3 on the power play, and is 3-for-32 in its past six games. It is 1-for-17 on the road this year.
"We played decent enough five-on-five, but it was our special teams that let us down. We gave up two power-play goals, and that was the essence of the game. And our power play didn't come through when we had the opportunity," Keenan said.
Radivojevic scored an empty-net goal with 58.8 seconds to play.
"We got a great start and today we finished the game the same way we started. That's a big step for us and now we have to do that every night," Backstrom said.
Notes: Wild RW Pavol Demitra missed the third period with a leg injury, and is to be evaluated Sunday. ... Minnesota LW Derek Boogaard did not return after a second period fight with Eric Godard. Wild coach Jacques Lemaire said he had a sore hand and couldn't hold his stick. ... Calgary C Wayne Primeau missed his sixth straight game with an ankle injury. ... Minnesota D Brent Burns had two assists, and now has assists in three straight games.

COLUMBIA — Emily Marie Fitzhugh was a bubbly person who could take a joke, her family said, but she could give it right back.
She worked at three restaurants on Business Loop 70, and they all went out of business, her father Wayne Overbeck said. "I would say 'You must have ate up everything.'"
Even if she was bad luck for the restaurants, she didn't hesitate to brag when her scratch-off lottery ticket winnings beat her parents' tickets.
"She was always calling us to rub it in," said Overbeck. "The biggest she won was $500."
Emily Marie Fitzhugh of Ashland died Saturday, Dec. 28, 2013. She was 39. She died after spending 11 days at University Hospital for pneumonia.
Mrs. Fitzhugh was born Nov. 7, 1974, in Boone County, to Wayne and Gail (Marriott) Overbeck.
She married Jeff Fitzhugh on Feb. 13, 2008.
"Everyone loved her," Overbeck said. "Once you met her, you liked her."
Mrs. Fitzhugh loved NASCAR, and she often attended races at the Kansas Speedway with her family, Overbeck said. On race days, she was always eager to get out of the door first thing in the morning and cheer on her favorite driver, Tony Stewart.
Mrs. Fitzhugh is survived by her husband, Jeff Fitzhugh of Ashland; a son, Deven Overbeck of Ashland; her parents, Wayne and Gail Overbeck of Columbia; a sister, Erika Brady and her husband, Josh, of Columbia; a nephew, Jace Brady of Columbia; and her mother-in-law, Twila Gilpin of Ashland.
Her grandparents, George and Hazel Marriott, and a brother-in-law, Matt Fitzhugh, died earlier.
Visitation will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday at Robinson Funeral Home, 601 N. Henry Clay Blvd., Ashland. Services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at the same location. Burial will follow at Woodcrest Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Deven Overbeck Education Fund through the Missouri Credit Union.

Largs was the first station in Scotland to operate a B class Atlantic 21 lifeboat. The prototype, B-500, was sent for trials in 1972; these proved very successful and the station has operated an Atlantic lifeboat ever since.
This station is classed as a Discover station. Our crews from Discover stations are equally welcoming to visitors but many of these stations were built before visitors were considered. These stations normally open their boathouse doors during the summer months.

On the evening of Saturday 21st of February at 5.20pm Largs RNLI volunteer crew received a launch request from Belfast Coastguard.
On the evening of Friday 20th of February at 8.54pm Largs RNLI volunteer crew received from Belfast Coastguard, an immediate launch signal.
Mark Newton, along with his two feline companions, has been travelling the length and breadth of the country to raise money for a number of charities including RNLI, The Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes.

1964Inshore lifeboat station established in May with a D class lifeboat.
1971Committee of Management decided to award Framed Letters of Thanks signed by the Institution's Chairman to Helmsman John H Harrison and crew members Robert Watson and John Mackie for their services to a Drilling Rig (Pontoon) in difficulties off Hunterston Sands on 18 March.
1973An Atlantic 17 class lifeboat sent to station.
1974The Atlantic 17 and D class lifeboat withdrawn and replaced by an Atlantic 21 lifeboat as the station boat.
1983Silver Medal was awarded to crew member Arthur Hill in recognition of his courage, determination and cool assessment of a difficult situation when he entered the water from the lifeboat Independent Forester Liberty on 24 July 1983 and ducked down about three feet to get under the cabin top of an upturned boat to rescue a young girl trapped forward in a small air-pocket. Helmsman John Strachan was accorded the Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum for his leadership and judgement. The Ma ud Smith Award for the most outstanding act of lifesaving by a life-boatman during 1983 was awarded to Arthur Hill for this service.
1998The boathouse was of insufficient size to accommodate an Atlantic 75 class lifeboat and launching vehicle and hence the construction of a larger boathouse was proposed. Facilities include housing for the lifeboat and launching vehicle, workshop, oil and petrol stores. This was completed in February.
2011A new B class, Atlantic 85 lifeboat, B-854 R A Wilson was placed on service on 6 November.

Missing Google Street View in Apple's Maps app? If your answer is in the affirmative, then the recently released and simply named Street View is just the app for you.
Here's the main pitch of Street View developer FutureTap:
Do you yearn for the days of Street View in iOS 5? "Flyover" in iOS 6 is great but sometimes you want a closer look. Welcome to "Street View". Launch it from Maps and go back with a single tap. You'll feel right at home!
Google Street View is already natively available on iOS via the Google Maps app, which was relaunched last December. But if you've taken a shine to Apple's iOS 6 Maps, then perhaps you should give FutureTap's Street View a try, even as it offers a non-seamless interaction with Maps.
While in Apple's Maps app, tap the routing button at the top right corner. Then, type the Street View address in the "End" field. Tap the public transport button followed by the "Route" button at the top right corner.
The Maps app will then show a list of third-party routing apps, among which is Street View. Tap the "Route" button corresponding to Street View to be taken to the the app itself. The Google Street View for your chosen location is then displayed in the Street View app.
Alternatively, and more easily, you can just use the app independent of Apple's Maps to view the Street View of your desired location.

BOX A9-1 PNEUMONIA - CHINA (GUANGDONG): RFI ******************************************** Date: 10 Feb 2003 From: Stephen O. Cunnion, MD, PhD, MPH International Consultants in Health, Inc Member ASTM&H, ISTM This morning I received this email and then searched your archives and found nothing that pertained to it. Does anyone know anything about this problem? "Have you heard of an epidemic in Guangzhou? An acquaintance of mine from a teacher's chat room lives there and reports that the hospitals there have been closed and people are dying." SOURCE: ProMED (2003). |
closed and people who were dying. Since there were H5N1 avian influenza cases in Hong Kong at around this time, there were many questions about whether this could have been avian influenza. All ProMED reports are moderated and the moderator comment questioned whether this outbreak in fact was due to flu. It was not clear at the time.
SARS traveled quickly. The first Canadian death occurred in March 2003, raising the issue of who needs to know what and when (Poutanen et al., 2003). One of the problems with the traditional public health system is that it often presumes to know who needs access to information. But the ethos of ProMED has always been for transparency—that we cannot predict who is going to need to know. Who would have guessed that doctors in an emergency room in Toronto were going to be seeing cases of SARS so quickly after this mysterious illness appeared in Asia?
If we look at how traditional public health works, we can see that there is a flow of information from the ground up (Figure A9-1). Laboratories, practitioners, and members of the general public report to local officials, who then report to regional officials, and they to national officials. These, in turn, report to world bodies, who will publicize or convey back information to others as they deem necessary and inform the people who need to be involved in response to an outbreak or who need to be aware of it.

Ratings for "1-8-7" rose slightly for this week, pulling in more than 8 million viewers. With no Chilean miners in sight and still having a strong lead-in with "Dancing With the Stars," the show may finally be on the upswing.
Last week, ratings held steady after taking dipping repeatedly since its premiere. Still, "The Good Wife" is the top earner in the 10 p.m. Tuesday timeslot.
The show itself also improves each week, according to Twitter critics (and yours truly), which could also factor into this week's ratings rebound.

James King listens as Tamara Augustine talks about areas of concern she has at Grand Isle State Park that may see oil seeping into a marsh area. King and a crew were at the park to deploy absorbent boom to some areas of the park. / Douglas Collier/The Times
GRAND ISLE � This town's idyllic state park is far from peaceful for now.
Fishing, seaside camping and beach volleyball usually dominate summertime fun at Grand Isle State Park. But in 2010, orange booms cut off outdoorsmen of all kinds from the salty Gulf water.
This year's woes come thanks to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. But in 2005, a deadly storm with a name all too familiar to Louisianans started setbacks that haven't stopped.
Hurricane Katrina destroyed a huge fishing pier that is the park's mainstay. Wind and water demolished most of the beach, which served its natural role as a barrier island to protect the mainland. The state reopened the beach, only to see it wiped out again when hurricanes Gustav and Ike struck in 2008.
A rebuilt bigger pier opened in December, and refortified protective dunes were put in place in early April. Then came the April 20 rig explosion that killed 11 and started the nation's worst oil spill.
"This would have been a big summer for us, visitation-wise," park Manager Tamara Augustine said.
In July 2009, some 10,000 paying customers came through, Augustine said. That was before the park was in the shape she wants to see again. Lately, some 1,000 people a day enter, Augustine said. But they're BP contractors paid to clean up the mess. They don't pay or count as visitors.
On a recent June day, two of the park's 49 camping spots were occupied. Besides cleanup workers and state police, only a few journalists poked around.
And the recreational area's fate is tied to the town's.
Liz and Bill Watkins live down the road. They sold their house in Houma in May 2009 to make their summer home in Grand Isle a full-time base. Now they're wondering if it was such a good idea and are eyeing real estate back in Houma. The Watkins fear the oil spill will hurt property values. Many of their Highway 1 neighbors' homes are empty.
So absent a state park or other beach access, the Watkins came up with plan B to draw their six grandchildren: an inflatable slide and pool combo.
"Normally, this time of year, every yard would be full of cars," Liz Watkins said. "... They just messed up our whole summer."
The proverbial they, in this case, is BP. She added that she hopes the company will reimburse her the $450 she paid Wal-Mart for the Banzai product.
And BP certainly has a presence here. The town has offered its community center as office space for the company to meet with residents and businessmen based here to discuss claims. There's a desk for small business loans and other services.
Grand Isle needed stability, according to BP spokesman Curtis Thomas. "I think there's a level of mistrust."
BP's public relations campaign includes plans to pay for a fireworks show since Grand Isle canceled its usual Fourth of July display, Thomas said. The company also is taking bids to build a volleyball court for local kids who can't play on the beach.
Back at the park, contractors steadily scrub the shoreline for tar balls. Augustine said she is satisfied with their efforts. But that hasn't stopped the oil, which seeped into a Gulf-fed lagoon that had to close recently.
Augustine started her gig just nine months ago. Her training, from Hammond's Southeastern Louisiana University, was in communication. Before the spill, much of her work focused on giving tours.
"I'm getting a good breaking in. I'm dealing with laying boom," Augustine said. "I fell in love with this place, and so now it's more like a passion than it is a job. It's not going anywhere under my watch."
