SPOKANE -- The Department of Defense announced Tuesday the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Sgt. Matthew H. Stiltz, 26, of Spokane, was killed Nov. 12, in Zerok, Afghanistan. Authorities said he was killed by indirect fire when insurgents attacked his unit.
Stiltz was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kan.
Family members said this was Stiltz s third tour, and he was supposed to return home this summer. He completed two tours in Iraq.
They said Stiltz loved being a soldier, and wanted to make it his career.
Stiltz s wife, mother and father traveled to Delaware to receive his body. An official with the Department of Defense said Matthew was promoted to Staff Sergeant after his death.
Matthew was a 2005 graduate of Shadle Park High School in Spokane. His family hopes to bury him at the Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake.

So I had this strange dream with the Dalai Lama as one of the main characters. He was sitting in a temple (the details of the temple are sketchy). He tells me of a ritual in which he recites Namu Myoho Renge Kyo. Obviously the Dalai Lama practices Tibetan Buddhism and its strange that he was teaching me to recite Namu Myoho Renge Kyo. I am not sure what this means, but I have been nihilistic lately thinking that dreams and other such things mean nothing. Not sure what to make of it.
Any thoughts?

Police discover loaded weapon on drunken driver
Menomonee Falls police officers investigating a report of a car in the ditch found a driver who was loaded in more ways than one.
According to police:
The driver of a 1996 Ford truck left the roadway on the north side of Lisbon Road and drove about 70 feet before entering a deep ditch about 1,500 feet east of Graysland Drive East at about 11:30 a.m. Dec. 20. The truck damaged a fence during the accident and the driver had minor injuries.
Officers noticed an odor of intoxicants coming from the driver, a 52-year-old Menomonee Falls man. When questioned, the driver readily admitted drinking rum and Cokes that morning at home before driving his vehicle. He failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for drunken driving. His blood alcohol content was 0.13.
During a vehicle search police also discovered the driver had a loaded .44 magnum revolver in his truck.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls' boys track team wins WIAA sectional title
The Menomonee Falls boys track team has always believed in the power of relay teams.
Senior 4x100-meter and 4x200-meter relay anchor runner Josh Lucas expressed that thought after the Indians won those two races en route to a surprisingly easy WIAA sectional championship at Oconomowoc Friday afternoon.
"I have real trust in this family, this team," he said. "I went to the fence (surrounding the track, after winning a race) and there were eight people there waiting to congratulate me. Track is not an individual sport, it's about relays, it's about family."
"It's a team sport."
The rest of the Indians would not argue, as they won the 14-team sectional with 107 points, well ahead of runner-up Arrowhead (72). More importantly, the Indians also advanced five individuals and those two relay teams to the WIAA State Meet in La Crosse June 5 and 6.» Read Full Article
Germantown softball team edges Homestead, 1-0, for NSC crown
One swing of the bat by shortstop Morgan Brantley on a rainy May 14 evening effectively gave Germantown its fifth straight North Shore Conference girls softball title over archrival Homestead.
Though the efforts of motivated Germantown pitcher Michelle Moore six days later on May 20 were enormously helpful in making that home run by Brantley stand up in a 1-0 decision.
Rain held up the game in the bottom of the third on May 14 with Germantown nursing the lead earned by Brantley's laser beam of a home run to left in the bottom of the second.
"We had been anxious all week to get to this game," said Brantley. "We had a lead but we felt we had more runs in us. The funny thing was (about the pitch she hit) was that it was very inside but I got the bat around on it."
The Warhawks didn't get any more runs thanks to the game effort of Homestead pitcher Samantha Schindler (11 strikeouts and three walks), but Moore and the Germantown defense made the lead stand up.» Read Full Article
Germantown's Showalter resigns to take college job
Germantown boys basketball coach Steve Showalter liked being a police officer for his hometown.
And he loved being its boys basketball coach through 15 marvelously successful seasons, including WIAA state championships in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
But now he is neither.
Around six months shy of being fully vested in his municipal pension earned as a police office and with a trio of great returnees coming back from the 2015 state runner-up basketball squad, Showalter, 49, has resigned from both the police department and his head coaching position to take a job as Lance Randall's assistant at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri.
He sent out this e-mail Monday night after meeting with the police chief, the village HR staff, Germantown athletic director Jack Klebesadel, principal Joel Farren and, of course, his team.» Read Full Article

First Bank Financial Centre of Menomonee Falls gives back to community
Menomonee Falls — Paying it forward not just thought of in terms of balanced checkbooks and wealth management. It is a valued philosophy for the employees of First Bank Financial Centre, who throughout the month of April celebrated Community Banking Month by paying it forward to local citizens and organizations in the communities they serve.
Last year, the local Menomonee Falls branch focused efforts on individual families. This year, the scope was equally important though a lot larger.
Employees from FBFC's Menomonee Falls branch delivered breakfast to the local fire station and police department, handed out $10 Woodman's gift cards to the Menomonee Falls Food Pantry, provided coupons for bowling and shoe rental at Kruegers to some very appreciative families and presented a check for $100 to Building a Better Butler to help decorate their park, planters and medians.
They also delivered pet toys to Linden Grove for their dogs and cats that visit with their residents and headed over to the Hope Network for Single Mothers, where they donated 12 "first bath" kits.
The Blue Spring Farm was their next stop for a random act of kindness where they delivered bags of treats for the teaching horses and also several bags of treats for the horses that are boarded there. Lastly, employees handed out truffles from the The Chocolate Falls, a new business in the Menomonee Falls downtown area, at the first farmers market of the year.
Road construction season affects more than Pilgrim Road in Menomonee Falls
Menomonee Falls — Drivers have been facing headaches with traffic and construction near Pilgrim Road and Highway 41 for a while now, but soon there will be other areas in the village affected as construction season hits full swing.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation began work on a construction project on Pilgrim Road from Park Boulevard to Megal Drive on April 10, starting with the installation of temporary traffic signals at all the affected signalized intersections.
Since then, long-term ramp closures have been put in place for all northbound and southbound on- and off-ramps at the intersection of Pilgrim Road and Highway 41/45 as construction progresses from Park Boulevard to Megal Drive. The closures are expected to be in effect until the $12,598,000 project is completed in late fall.
Improvements to be completed include bridge replacement, safety enhancements, utility upgrades, improved pedestrian access, intersection improvements, increased capacity and street scaping.
The project aligns with work being completed by the village to incorporate additional turn lanes, new medians, a wider intersection and added lanes in some areas.» Read Full Article
Winter's not through with us yet
The old rule of thumb about not planting before Memorial Day may be proven tonight, as the National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory from midnight tonight to 7 a.m. Wednesday. Temperatures could drop into the low 30s. If you have plants outside, you may want to consider covering them or moving them inside.
Developer proposing 225 apartments in Germantown
A development firm is proposing to build an apartment community, with 225 units, in Germantown.
JBJ Development, represented by Scott Bence, is proposing the project for 23.7 acres at around N116 W16200 Main St., east of Lake Park East Condominiums and west of Oakwood Village Condominiums, according to the Plan Commission agenda issued Friday.
JBJ is seeking a rezoning and site plan consultation for a 225-unit apartment development, the agenda said.
Neither Bence nor Germantown officials were immediately available to obtain more information about the proposal.
The Plan Commission is to review the item at its Monday night meeting.
Germantown girls soccer team edges rival Menomonee Falls, 1-0
Caught in the throes of a heated North Shore Conference race, the third-ranked in state Germantown girls soccer team was not going to get caught looking past border rival and fellow state power Menomonee Falls on a beautiful 80-degree Thursday evening at home.
And the Warhawks weren't stopped, getting a pretty goal from MacKenzie Challoner off a fine centering pass from Izzie Thomsen in the 54th minute for a sprightly 1-0 victory.
But a snafu by the power company nearly did stop both the Warhawks and the Indians, as shortly before the game was about to start there was a brown-out in the area, including the soccer field lights.
Officials decided to kick-start the game beginning it at about 6:45 p.m. in order to try and beat the approximately 8 p.m. sunset.
But right around the time things were getting underway, the lights flickered on and the game carried on as normal.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls sees first street racing incident in years
Sometimes its fully souped-up cars with fancy paint jobs and expensive exhaust systems. Other times its just average cars.
Regardless, officers from both the Menomonee Falls and Germantown police departments agree the issue of street racing is nothing new in this area. Nor has it gotten any safer with time.
It has been at least five years since Menomonee Falls has seen an incident like what happened around 1:30 a.m. May 3 in the industrial park near Highway 41 and Main Street, according to Assistant Chief Mark Waters.
No one was hurt in the May 3 incident, but multiple citations were issued to multiple participants and spectators alike in a street race that was reported near Held Drive and Anthony Avenue, which is an area Waters said is highly susceptible to activity of this kind.
"Industrial parks are often a target for street racing because they think there is less traffic and they are less likely to get caught," he said.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls Troop 80 Scouts reflect on project, look to future
Menomonee Falls — The cause is a more than worthy one, but for Menomonee Falls High School seniors Nate Rismon and Jack Wheelock, what they selected for their Eagle Scout project has a larger scope than that.
The scouts will be celebrating their Eagle Court of Honor on Saturday, May 30, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, home to hundreds of Troop 80 meetings and now to their Eagle Scout project, the Marian Memorial Garden.
"We wanted to find a way to give back to the church that has so graciously hosted and sponsored us for so many years," explained Rismon. "This seemed like the perfect way to show our gratitude."
Rismon and Wheelock were approached by members of the church about the garden, which was a collaboration with the Elizabeth Ministries at St. Mary's. Planning began about a year ago for the garden, which is a reflection area for families of those who have suffered the loss of a child.
There were a lot of different perspectives on how the garden should come together when planning began, prompting Rismon and Wheelock to problem solve and do their best to piece everything together into what has become a cohesive design.» Read Full Article

Brittany Cox Selected to Southeast Region's First Team; Now Up for National All-American Honors
March 7, 2012
DAHLONEGA, G.A. – North Georgia's Jaymee Carnes was selected as the 2011-12 Daktronics Division II Southeast Region Player of the Year announced Wednesday afternoon. Joining Carnes and earning first-team All-Southeast Region honors is Pfeiffer's Brittany Cox, Clayton State's Tanisha Woodard, USC Aiken's Hannah DeGraffinreed and Lincoln Memorial's Dayshalee Salaman.
With the first team selection, all five players are automatically eligible for Daktronics Division II All-American honors. The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The team is voted on by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Carnes, a sophomore from Gainesville, Ga., made a bold statement in her first season at the Division II level, earning Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year honors, and now Southeast Region Player of the Year honors on the way to leading the country in scoring at 25.0 points per game. She averaged 11.2 rebounds per game and led the country with 20 double-doubles on the season. Carnes had three 30-point games and a career-high 40-point performance against Brenau.
Cox, a junior from Pfeiffer, has been dominant all-season long, leading the Lady Falcons and the Conference Carolinas averaging 20.8 points per game knocking down 84 three-pointers. Cox's 20.8 is good for 7th-best in the nation while she ranks fifth nationally in three-pointers per game. She tallied 12 20-point games and six 30-point games, including a career-high 34 points, a feat she accomplished twice during the 2011-12 season. Cox has also been named a Capital One Academic National First-Team All-American.
Tanisha Woodard, a senior from Clayton State, won back-to-back PBC Defensive Player of the Year awards and has now been named Southeast All-Region for the second straight season. She set the league's career record for steals in a season and ranks in the top 10 in the country in steals per game for a team looking to repeat as Division II National Champions. She eclipsed the 1,000 career point total this season and recorded a triple-double in a win over in-state rival Georgia College

The All Blacks pointed to lessons from previous World Cup failures as central to their desperate resistance in the closing stages of the final.
After the All Blacks dominated the first half, France launched an immense counter-strike in the second, bossing possession and territory as they went in search of an upset victory.
New Zealand have folded when faced with that sort of onslaught at World Cups in the past, and there were times when they looked likely to succumb once more. However, their defence proved to be nothing sort of heroic, repelling wave after wave of attacks and scrambling brilliantly on the rare occasions they slipped tackles.
There was consensus as to the root of their success: lessons had been learned and the response was fitting.
'The way we defended in that second half said a lot about the men in this team, many of whom had prepared a long time for their shot at redemption. We weren't going to let it go,' captain Richie McCaw said. 'When they scored their try, that was the real test for us. We didn't panic. Past experience helped our reaction. We stayed disciplined, composed and focussed on the moment [as opposed to the result].'
Coach Graham Henry said: 'The players have become self-reliant in the years between this World Cup and the last and taken ownership of this team. Those things primarily helped us tonight. I don't think that this side would have hung in there like they did two or three years ago. That is testament to our growth.'
Henry agreed that the decision to retain him and his assistants, Wayne Smith and Steve Hansen, despite their quarter-final defeat to France in Cardiff in 2007, bore fruit.
'There is often a call for wholesale clean-outs when teams don't get the results they are expected to, but there are lessons to be learned in defeat that can be invaluable, as they were tonight,' he said. 'The players from the 2007 group recognised that and asked for us [the coaching team] to stay on. The NZRU made a tough call then, but, it seems, the right one [in light of the result tonight].'
There were a number of outstanding players who contributed consistently along the way. But Henry described Stephen Donald's late call-up as a 'fairytale' and lauded his contribution in the circumstances. Donald, on in the 35th minute for Aaron Cruden, kicked what proved to be the decisive penalty. Henry said his fourth-choice flyhalf had benefited from an attitude within the squad that promoted the success of every players.
'Over the last couple of seasons Stephen took some stick from you boys [the media] and some of it was justified. When you come in as late as he did you need an environment to be right. That was the case and that's why he slotted in without much fuss. The same goes for a guy like Aaron. That's been one of the most pleasing things about this team.'
Henry also said the belief that pragmatism being the only way to success in the tournament was flawed.
'We enjoy playing a certain way and we stuck with that belief throughout the tournament, although in the final it was a little different. It's important that we showed we can play our style and win.'

Around the globe, tax policy changes present both opportunity and peril to corporate tax departments, small business owners and individuals. Failure to plan appropriately for tax policy changes can result in significant opportunity costs and limit one's potential for financial success.
The pressure to keep abreast of an ever-increasing number of material changes to tax laws and regulations has intensified in recent years. The down economy and an active regulatory environment have accelerated the pace of tax policy changes at the federal/country level. Territorial and state tax policy is also on the rise. At the same time, enforcement activity has also ramped up, as tax authorities attempt to mitigate governmental risks within a challenging economic climate.
In light of increased tax policy activity, compliance requirements are paramount. Organizations and individuals must take steps to make the right payments at the right time, without mistakenly overpaying based on a misunderstanding or lack of awareness of current tax rules.
To stay on top of tax policy changes and take maximum advantage of the changing tax landscape, the following best practices are recommended:
- Monitor the legislative and regulatory tax changes that are most relevant to your situation. This may include keeping track of tax policy changes for individuals, tax policy changes for small business, tax policy changes for corporations, and international tax policy changes.
- Understand how pending tax changes will impact operations, tax management and recordkeeping requirements.
- Leverage tax industry experts to get accurate information and insights on tax policy changes.

Canaan Dog
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Pariah Dog
These medium sized dogs are around 37 to 57 pounds (16 – 25 kg).
Canaan Dogs stand 19 – 24 inches, or 48 – 61 cm tall.
Canaan Dogs come in black, cream, and various shades of brown and red in between. White and white with patches of these colors are also possible.
Canaan Dogs are double coated. The outer coat is of short to medium length.
Canaan Dogs retain many of the qualities of their ancestors who roamed free in the desert. They can be aloof and independent, but are also quick learners that form deep bonds with their owners. Because of their natural wariness of strangers, they make excellent guard dogs. Their primitive, rustic origin makes them one of the most intelligent and resilient dog breeds, having survived in the harsh wilderness for centuries
Country of Origin:
Israel/Palestinian Territories
Canaan Dogs are of an ancient breed in the Middle East. They may have been guards and herding dogs of the ancient Hebrews, and after the Romans took over this region they remained as half-feral scavengers that lived close to human settlements. Selectively breeding Canaan dogs as a specific breed as guard dogs and pets began quite recently, and they were first introduced to America in 1965. The breed was finally officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1989, and remains relatively rare in the new world. The Canaan Dog is the national dog of Israel.
Canaan, the ancient name of modern-day Israel and the Palestinian Territories, is where this ancient breed was first discovered and domesticated. The name not only represents their geographic origin, but also their long history that is believed to date back to the biblical times.
They possess many "wild" characteristics, including being independent, not eager to please, and easily bored with repetitive tasks. They can also be territorial and very defensive; as such, they should be socialized early on, especially around children, although they do become gentle and loving after they become familiar with the people around them. Once they are bonded with their families they can be fiercely devoted, since they are guardians by nature.
Canaan Dogs are intelligent and would welcome a variety of stimuli, as they become bored with repetition. Positive reinforcement tends to work well with this independent breed. It is important to keep training sessions short and with lots of rewards, so that they do not associate training with any negative experience. Since they display herding and tracking instincts, exercises that mimic these activities are especially desirable. With correct training applied, Canaan Dogs are quick learners, and can perform a variety of tasks that make them excellent companions as well as working dogs.
While they are generally docile and would not mind relaxing indoors, they do need daily walks and the occasional sprint.
Canaan Dogs are devoted, loving companions that will form long-lasting bonds with their families. Since they do not require excessive amount of exercise, it is possible for them to be apartment pets; although they are eager to alert their owners of any disturbance in the environment, so they do have a tendency to bark. If barking becomes a problem it can be minimized through training, and also by removing the stress from their environment.
No breeders listed at this time.

For the past few days I have been searching record by record of the Brazil Civil Registration Death records in search of matches. From what I can tell this have not been indexed yet, but there are plenty of images online to go through.
Searching each image online takes time, from loading the images, zooming in, moving to the next ect. I started to Google ways to either reduce the image size so I can do quick looks at the images (I knew where on the image I needed to look), and current image loading time was taking a minute or so. The other option was a way to have them loaded locally.
It was easy to find the Java app called FastFilm which is used to download image sets from FamilySearch. I was able to download a batch of the record and search through about 100 of them in 2 minutes.
I am not sure how FamilySearch feels about a program like this, but this could help tremendously in my searching by moving the files offline. I have deleted the current image set that was downloaded earlier, and starting to look through the next batch.
It also creates a text file that you can use for your source citation, which at the moment for me I don't need unless I actually find a valid match in this. Only about 1 million more images to view, we can hope to find a match.
I would recommend this program if you are doing image searching through batch's on FamilySearch as it is a lot quick offline then online, and its a very simple program to use.

Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement
Full text of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 2012 (PDF) (75 pp, 340K) Sept. 7, 2012
The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement addresses critical environmental health issues in the Great Lakes region and is a model of binational cooperation to protect water quality. The Agreement was initially signed in 1972 and was last updated in 1987.
On Sept. 7, 2012, Canada and the United States amended the Agreement. The updated Agreement facilitates United States and Canadian action on threats to Great Lakes water quality and includes measures to prevent ecological harm. New provisions address the nearshore environment, aquatic invasive species, habitat degradation, and the effects of climate change. It also supports continued work on existing threats to people's health and the environment in the Great Lakes basin such as harmful algae, toxic chemicals, and discharges from vessels.
Both governments sought extensive input from stakeholders before and throughout the negotiation process, which started in 2009. Additionally, the revised Agreement expands opportunities for public participation in Great Lakes issues.
Based on stakeholder input, the United States and Canada retained the overall purpose of the Agreement, which is "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes" and the portion of the St. Lawrence River that includes the Canada-United States border. The Agreement also assigns responsibilities to the International Joint Commission to share information, assess progress, and advise the two governments on science, policy and action.
The amended Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement commits the United States and Canada to cooperate and coordinate efforts on issues such as:
- Preventing environmental threats before they turn into actual problems.
- Updating phosphorus targets for open waters and nearshore areas of each lake and taking actions to reduce phosphorus levels that contribute to harmful algae.
- Preventing the introduction and spread of invasive species.
- Developing plans to protect and restore nearshore areas, the primary source of drinking water for Great Lakes communities and where most commerce and recreation occurs.
- Reaffirming actions necessary to restore and delist Areas of Concern.
- Identifying new toxic substances, and implementing pollution prevention and control strategies.
- Preventing and controlling harmful discharges from ships and other vessels.
- Developing conservation strategies to protect native species and restore habitat.
- Identifying and helping coastal communities understand the impacts of climate change on water quality.
- Developing water quality and ecosystem health objectives.
- Reviewing Great Lakes science and establishing binational priorities for future work.
- Providing notification of activities that could impact the Great Lakes.
- Reporting progress to the public regularly.

Prosecutors filed a murder charge Wednesday against a 75-year-old man who had been consumed by years of health problems – once showing his catheter at a court hearing – and who now stands accused of gunning down a Newport Beach urologist.
Stanwood Fred Elkus is scheduled to enter a plea in March to a single charge of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of urologist Dr. Ronald Gilbert. The Orange County District Attorney's Office says Elkus lay in wait to commit murder, a special circumstance that means he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
Elkus brought a gun to a Monday afternoon appointment with Gilbert, according to the District Attorney's Office. When Gilbert entered the exam room, prosecutors said, Elkus shot him half a dozen times in the chest. Elkus surrendered his handgun, which was legally bought and registered, and went into custody without incident, said Kathy Lowe of the Newport Beach Police Department.
Though neighbors agreed Elkus had longtime problems with his prostate, prosecutors said Monday was the first time he had seen Gilbert for treatment. The motive in the shooting remains speculative, Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy said at an impromptu news conference in the Central Justice Center shortly after Elkus was arraigned in the Orange County Jail.
"What we do know is that Dr. Gilbert didn't do anything to deserve this," Murphy said. "We are still investigating why he was targeted. ... It could be completely random."
Because of the special-circumstances allegation, Elkus will be held without bail pending trial. On Wednesday, he was dressed in a mustard-colored jail uniform and stood alone in a chain-link holding cell as he told a judge he could not afford a lawyer.
The Orange County Public Defender's Office was appointed to represent him, and his arraignment was continued to March 1.
Elkus had no previous criminal record in Orange or Riverside counties, though he had been involved in several small-claims lawsuits over the years. In 2007, he filed a claim against his neighbors and the owner of the property behind his.
The neighbors, who were renting, had dented a shared fence when they removed some shrubs with a bulldozer, landlord Gary Fennell said. During an arbitration session, Fennell said, Elkus showed his catheter and began talking about his urination and sexual problems. The move was irrelevant to the dispute, Fennell said.
"(I thought) Where is this guy coming from?" he said.
The court eventually ruled in Fennell's favor and required Elkus to pay his defense costs, including travel expenses from his home in Washington state to California.
The renters, Jarred and Melissa Evans, went on to sue Elkus alleging emotional distress, trespassing and stalking, according to court documents. In a 2007 complaint, a lawyer for the couple said Elkus threatened to harm their pet, constantly telephoned the home and drove by repeatedly making intimidating faces and gestures. He would bang on their front door and refuse to leave when asked, the complaint said, as well as ride his bicycle into their driveway and stare into their windows. The complaint stated that the Evanses feared for their safety and that of their three children.
The case was settled and dismissed in 2008 with no money changing hands.
About two years ago, another tenant wondered about Elkus after she saw him standing in his back yard with a rifle, Fennell said.
"He's always kind of had a history of being strange," Fennell said.

[unidentified male speaker:]
[inaudible] cultural and educational awareness of the black experience in the world. And uh, we've come here to listen to a presentation uh, that's part of Knox's ...
[audio cut out]
... faculty members, um, students and other guests who have made it here, we hope that the presentation goes fine and I hope you enjoy it.
Our speaker today is Dr. Hermann Muelder. Dr. Muelder graduated from Knox. He um, received his PhD in history from the University of Minnesota. Um, he was a teacher at Knox, um, a Professor at Knox, I should say, he was a professor at Knox, a dean, um acting president at one time, and currently serves as the college historian. His history of the college was published last year um, by the University of Illinois Press.
And uh, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Dr. Muelder, who will speak about Knox and um, blacks and Knox-Galesburg history.
[1:26 Hermann Muelder:]
Eric and friends, I can't resist telling you that this room, is, uh, the boards come from what were the roof timbers of Old Main originally. It was, Old Main was thoroughly redone in time for the centenary in 1937 and they took the old roof timbers and made the paneling for this room. It's really a handsome place, isn't it?
As Eric had remarked, it's about the blacks in Knox and Galesburg because, particularly during the period that I'll be emphasizing, you can't separate the two. I don't know how much any one of you knows about the early history or the general history of Knox in Galesburg, but at the risk of boring some of you, I must briefly outline, ah, the origins and the first few decades of the history of the college and of Galesburg.
George Washington Gale, after whom this city is named and who was a leader in the founding of the college, would deserve an important footnote in history even if Galesburg and Knox College had never been started. He was the teacher of two important evangelists who brought about a great religious revival in the 1920s and 1930s.
This religious revival was characterized furthermore by the stimulus it gave to certain reform movements like temperance, for example, or abolition, the elimination of slavery, and it will be with reference to the latter that we will be concerned, although I don't think we should overlook the fact that the founders of Galesburg were also, ah, concerned with the liquor problem and indeed provided this land which they acquired from the United States government should, if alcohol was ever made or sold on that land, revert to the college.
And within my memory, this flaw in the title to the land in Galesburg was occasionally a matter of some concern to the trustees. When we have our trustees' cocktail parties later this week I will refrain from making any reference to this fact.
Okay. Out of this general reform agitation, among other things, came two colleges, which are sisters: Oberlin College in Ohio and Knox College in Illinois. I must say that in many respects, Oberlin remained somewhat more militant on some matters than Knox did, but both of these places are very important in the antislavery movement.
What happened was that a group of New Yorkers bought about 20,000 acres of land at the government price of a dollar and a quarter with the expectation that by developing and selling that land they would be able to establish and endow a college, and eventually it worked out that way, although there were some hard times before it was actually accomplished.
In 19-- in 1836, settlers actually began to arrive and amongst these, interestingly enough, was a black man by the name of John Bryan. John Bryan was hired to handle the canal boat which was the means of transportation for one of the important parties that left New York to come to central Illinois by way of Lake Erie, the Erie Canal, Lake Erie, the canal connecting Lake Erie with the Ohio River, the Ohio River, the Mississippi and then the Illinois.
Of all the trips made to establish a town, a colony in 1836, this was the one which suffered the most hardship, partly because of accidents, partly because of inadequate knowledge regarding navigation on rivers by canal boats. They arrived at Conference Brick, just a little bit below Peoria, in 1836 so exhausted, and in some cases so ill, that they had to be taken to Galesburg by a rescue party that went to the Village of Galesburg, which was just in the process of being settled, because they weren't able to make it by themselves. One member of the party died immediately, three others soon thereafter. Thus the village had immediate use for the cemetery, which had been located along the Cadamous Creek to the west.
All right. You should also know that as originally laid out, this was a village bordered on the north by North Creek, bordered on the south by South Creek—not too hard to remember— [laughter] on the west by Academy Street, on the east by Seminary, obviously suggesting that this was an academic settlement.
The land south of South Street, where we are, was reserved by the college for a campus and about 1,200 acres originally, to provide a farm on which the college students could work because it was at that time believed that manual labor should be an essential part of the college experience. Okay. Now we're here.
What I'm going to do, and now having given you that outline, is to try to emphasize as far as I can for a while the experience of the blacks. The things I have written and most other people have written about Knox College and Galesburg deal with whites, really. You know? My book on the antislavery movement as Knox people, men and women, did it was published in 1959 by Columbia University Press entitled Fighters for Freedom is really about white people. It's about the antislavery movement and that's important, but it was about white people, what they did, you see. The same is true with the later book that uh, Eric referred to. It's really about white people, about white people doing things for black, but it was about white people.
Now, what I'm going to try to do this afternoon, as far as I could get information, is to talk about what blacks did and I'm going to do that this way. We could get lost pretty easily on this, so I'm going to outline my procedure. I want to talk about a particular incident in which the action is action by blacks. It's referenced to a particular situation at a particular time and a particular place. And I'm going to leave with each one of you a place that you can relocate after I finish, if you please, that might remind you of what I talked to you about.
The first of these occurs in April of 1870. Chronological order is not going to be so important, the topics are going to be. In April of 1870, just a few days before, Congress had signaled, had symbolized the ratification of the last of the three amendments to the Constitution which came out of the Civil War.
There were three of these, the 13th, the 14th and the 15th Amendment. The 13th, as you know, abolished slavery. The 14th tried to guarantee civil rights and eventually, incidentally would do that in the famous case in 1954 of Baker, uh, of Brown vs. Topeka, uh, Board of Education. It was supposed to guarantee civil rights for the blacks, although much of the time it was more important to corporations than it was to people, but we won't go into that.
Uh, and then the 15th, which uh, guaranteed the blacks the right to vote. It was uh intended as much as anything else to make sure that the rebel states which were being readmitted into the Union would not undo the gradual suffrage of the blacks which they had been forced to guarantee as a price for coming back into the Union. In fact, four of the states that came back into the Union as of the spring of 1870 were not allowed to come back until they had ratified this amendment. Get the idea? This is part of the reconstruction activity.
In uh, early April after this had happened, there appeared in the local paper, The Republican, a notice that there was going to be a, a celebration by the blacks of this ratification and I want to read it to you because there's something about the language in some of these cases, uh, that's important—the way it's set.
April the 12th, eighteen-hundred and seventy. "Changes have taken place which were not even anticipated by the most sanguine or wise. Chiefly among the changes in our political program is the manumission of four millions of human beings and their endowment with equal political rights and privileges. To commemorate this great event and priceless boon, the colored folk of Galesburg and surrounding towns and villages will hold a grand celebration in this city on Thursday next."
And here is a description, at least part of the description of the event, of the celebration, which uh, occurred a couple days before April the 23rd of 1870.
"At about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, the procession began, began its march and with the excitement, with the utmost decorum and order marked its progress throughout the scene.
Heading the, heading the caval, cavalcade was the college city coronet band, which discoursed the most enlivening music, while immediately behind was a chariot, a chariot containing 29 young ladies of color representing the states that ratified the amendment. They made a really fine appearance, far better than those Democratic females who formerly paraded under the shadow of white husband or none banners.
Probably the most notable feature of the affair was the colored military command, the men kept step with precision and handled these pieces fairly, they handled their pieces fairly, evincing considerable military knowledge in their evolution."
Then in the evening there was a program in what was called Caledonia Hall. It was the hall downtown. It was rented out for these purposes, for events, for example, that couldn't properly go into the auditorium of the church, you see.
"In the evening, Caledonia Hall was filled with an audience of both colored and white people. The stage was decorated with flags, banners and evergreens and we noticed in front the portraits of Grant, Sumner, Garrison and others, while on the stand was a beautiful statue of Abraham Lincoln. The opening prayer was offered by the Reverend Mr. Graves."
And here I want to give you what I promised I would give you—a place that you can relate this to. Ah, you might pass it sometime and it'll remind you of what I just described. The Reverend Mr. Graves was pastor of that Baptist church which is still there, right? East away from what? Davis Hall, right? East away from Davis Hall. That was his church.
Ah, and that location of that is interesting. Remember I told you the land south of South Street was supposed to remain to the College and for a long time it did, but somehow in the middle 1860s a black man by the name of Henry Bailey had on two occasions been unclassified or a special student in Knox College, negotiated the special arrangements by which that black church became a near neighbor of Knox College and that has some special significance.
Another black man participating in this celebration was a Joseph Barquet. And I won't go into his career right now because I'll be doing a good deal with him later. Two white men of importance participated in the program, both of them connected with Knox. One of them was an Edward Beecher, who was a trustee of the /college, pastor of the – of a Congregational church just a couple blocks to the north, which maintained a close connection to the college. In fact, eventually that church became what some of you knew or know was what?
[audience member:] Beecher Chapel.
[Hermann Muelder:]
Beecher Chapel. Became Beecher Chapel. This Edward Beecher belonged to the most famous protestant minister family of the 19th century. The father was the famous Lyman Beecher. His brother was the famous Henry Ward Beecher, ah, the great pulpit orator of the 19th century, ah, and if I may indulge in a TV soap opera temptation for your attention, he also became involved in one of the most interesting adultery trials in the 19th century. [laughter] Okay. Part of Henry Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was written at his home in the east.
In the middle 1850s he came to Galesburg and had become pastor of a new congregational church because the first one—the older one right on the square where the red stone church is now which was the colony church—was no longer big enough to take care of the congregation. It being a very important part of this community.
The second white man that participated in this program was Clark E. Carr. He went to Knox College five years and that doesn't mean much, you might think. Knox College had an academy in those days and students, many of them went to the academy to get the qualifications out of the way to enter the college courses. In fact, quite often people went to Knox College in that time for seven years. He went to the, to Knox College for five years, that establishes him clearly as a Knox person.
He was strongly identified with the antislavery movement. In fact, on December the 2nd, 1859, when the blacks in Galesburg held a special meeting, a tribute to John Brown on the day that he was executed for his raid on Harper's Ferry, he was one of the speakers. Lincoln appointed him postmaster, and back in those days, that meant that you became the boss or the leader of the political party, and he held that office in Galesburg until the Democrats came back in power in 1850-- 1885 with Grover Cleveland.
Um, in other words, this prominent Galesburg Knox person was also a speaker at that time. So, ah, when you look at that, [inaudible] what it says then, African Baptist church, remember that it was a kind of headquarters for this rather remarkable celebration that occurred.
Later that same year there was another celebration, and for that purpose, for the purpose of identifying a place in connection with that, have you ever noticed the names on the cornerstones of Alumni Hall? Alumni, Adelphi and Gnothautii. Those were the--that building was built primarily to serve the literary societies that dominated life on the campus in the last part of the 19th century until they were more or less dispossessed by fraternities. From my point of view, it's the finest period in the history of Knox.
Um, one of the ways in which these literary societies kept going was to have lecturers come to town, you know? And they raised money that way. In the later part – in the fall of 1870, Gnothautii society, one of these literary societies, the one which had the stand stone for the western wing of Alumni Hall, brought to Galesburg a man by the name of Revels. A man by the name of Revels. Um, now I want to, uh, read you what the paper said about Revels before I get to commenting on it.
"Thirteen years ago this winter, H. R. Revels, a poor young colored man, was a student—was a student under Professor Churchill in the academical department of Knox College in this city and many were the sneers and taunts the poor fellow received for no fault of his own, but simply because he was a nigger. On last Tuesday evening, the honorable H. R. Revels, United States Senator from Mississippi, delivered an able lecture in Caledonia Hall before an audience of the most cultivated people of Galesburg, which was highly appreciated. The nigger schoolboy of 1857 now occupies the distinguished position once held by Jefferson Davis."
Senator from Mississippi. Revels was here for one year in the academy, but it was his culminating educational experience. He became a clergyman During the Civil War served as chaplain in the army. He helped raise colored regiments in Maryland and St. Louis, served as Provost Marshall, that is director or manager of the military police in the vicinity of Vicksburg.
Remember, after Vicksburg fell and the northern army finally got control of the whole [inaudible] Mississippi [inaudible] suggest to the strategic importance of this place. and was in Mississippi when the war ended and became involved in the reconstruction of Mississippi, in the reconstruction of Mississippi, and accordingly, the Mississippi legislature elected him to the Senate.
At that same time, another Knox alumnus by the name of McKee, who had become a general in the union army, was sent to the House of Representatives. Knox had a good deal to do with the reconstruction of Mississippi, you too can see. Um, and in the, in the fall of 1870 the blacks held a celebration having to do with his coming to Galesburg was that kind of special significance to the people of Galesburg.
After the war, uh, under the offices of the American Missionary Association, about which I'll say something later if I have time, ah, he became the president of a new school for blacks in the south: Alcorn University, which still exists today, first president of Alcorn University.
Okay, we've had two celebrations. Now there's another celebration that I want to call your attention to that has meaning, another kind of meaning. Ah, for this purpose, we have to go over on Cherry Street [inaudible] and walk across South Street north, and cross the various streets—all of which had names relating to the people that were involved in exploring for the land and capturing the land for Galesburg, you know, names like Simmons and Tompkins and Ferris and so forth and so on—'til we come to North Street, which is the northern boundary, and there at the intersection with North Street, there's a jog in the road.
That's where George Washington Gale lived, that large white house that sits back from the street a ways. It's obvious that when Cherry Street was extended further north beyond North Street that they took the land for that extension off the property of George Washington Gale and not off the property.
Anyway, we're now on the premises of George Washington Gale. There in 1857, on the premises of George Washington Gale, a celebration was held, of all things, of the anniversary on August the 1st of the emancipation of the slaves in the West Indies, to free slaves in the West Indies, and there's a significant story behind that. What's this all about?
Uh, you know, the British West Indies are Jamaica—you know? Trinidad and one we just heard about a few months ago, Grenada. You know, it's just they weren't able to take care of [inaudible] but we won't go into that. [laughter] Uh, the leeward islands, the windward islands, okay. By act of the British Parliament in 1833 they achieved their--abolished slavery as of August the 1st, 1834.
The abolitionists left in Galesburg in their agitation— you know, they're speaking propaganda—made a good deal of this when it happened because these are English-speaking people, see? And the fact that an orderly emancipation of slaves occurred here provided some favorable argument, didn't it? For the emancipation of slaves in the United States.
Anyway, this became, and in 1818 [inaudible] already occasionally this day was being celebrated. By 1857 when this was celebrated on Gale's campus, it had become broad in scope because it became an occasion in which blacks coming down from the railroad, which had just come two or three years before; so blacks from Rock Island and Burlington and Quincy and Peoria could get here. And year after year this became, as one man remarked, THE holiday of all holidays for the blacks: New Year's Day and Fourth of July and everything all wrapped into one and they were still celebrating this. The last date I have is 1888, on which occasion incidentally a Knox student, who had just won the interstate oratorical contest, was one of the speakers.
Now there's some meaning behind this. Uh, the antislavery movement was an international movement, not just limited to Galesburg. In 1843, the president of Knox College in this little, this little village, which was just getting underway and this college was just building its first building, went as representative of the antislavery society of Illinois to a world antislavery convention in London and there he was assigned the topic of speaking on prejudice, about which he had unduly optimistic expectation, but he did emphasize the fact that the color line was not and would not be drawn at Knox.
His traveling companion on this occasion, furthermore, was the second president of Knox College, a man who was Jonathan Blanchard, so it wasn't all that nonsensical for the emancipation of slavery in the British Empire to become a scene for celebration in Galesburg, uh, too.
In these events that I've been talking about, oh, um, okay, in these events I've been talking about, there was a black man that was very frequently a speaker, perhaps the most prominent, who became during the '70s, um, the leading black politician in Galesburg. His name was Joseph Barquet. B-A-R-Q-U-E-T. According to the census of 1860, which classified people as black, white and mulatto, he and his wife were mulattos from North Carolina. I don't know as much as I would like to someday about his origins.
One of the tantalizing facts about the situation in North Carolina is that there was a group of free blacks, and a Knox College alumnus, incidentally, is working and researching on the fascinating problem that some of these free blacks owned slaves.
But anyway, he came from Carolina. He was about 30-32--34 years old in 1860. Um, and he's, he is related to a fascinating aspect of the Civil War. The abolitionists, like the abolitionists in Galesburg, often became very impatient with Abraham Lincoln, the fact that he did not declare an emancipation of the slaves earlier, also impatient with Lincoln because he did not authorize the recruiting of black regiments sooner.
He was cautious. Among other things, he was fearful about alienating the border colonies, you know? About alienating the border colonies. And it was not until well into 1863 that the United States government as such started to recruit black regiments. However--and Illinois did not start until after that was authorized by the federal government. In Massachusetts, however, which of all the areas was the most forward on this question of what should be done for the blacks, started to recruit on its own, and out of this came what is probably the most famous regiment in the Civil War, the 54th Regiment.
Most of the companies of the 54th Regiment came from the northeast, but one company-- but some of the recruits did not--and one company, Company H, had a considerable number of recruits that came from the uh, uh middle west. Came from the middle west. And, when we come to those coming from Illinois, we come to an interesting statistic. There were 19 from Chicago, 12 from Galesburg and only one from anywhere else, suggesting that, what? Relatively speaking, as we might expect on the basis, as I said, that Galesburg was relatively what? An important place to the blacks in Illinois.
Joseph Barquet became a sergeant major. All of the commissioned officers in this regiment were white, but he achieved rank that was the highest for a black, a sergeant major. They were trained in Massachusetts and then set off by ship to, of all places, from the point of view of what it symbolized, to land in South Carolina in the vicinity of the capital where the war is what?
[audience member:] Started.
[Hermann Muelder:]
Started. They didn't do very well. The colonel, Colonel Shaw, was killed, and to express their antipathy for this military unit, the rebels, instead of giving him the special honors that a commissioned officer was supposed to get, threw him in a common grave with the blacks who had been killed. In Massachusetts he became a special hero, and one of the finest Civil War statues was a statue to him, to Colonel Shaw, in Boston.
Four of the Galesburg blacks were captured. One of them was wounded, two of them were still prisoners of war when hostilities ceased in the spring of 1865. The particular symbol that I want to associate with this is the fact that when on January the first, ah, of 1864, this 54th Regiment of blacks wanted to celebrate the fact that Lincoln had finally used his, ah, presumed constitutional authority as commander in chief in wartime, emancipated the blacks in the south, those parts of the south that were still in a state of rebellion. It was this man, this Galesburg man, who, Barquet, Joseph Barquet, who was chosen to speak the oration, chosen to speak the oration.
What can I give you to look at to remind you of this in Galesburg? Well, you might go over to the Hope Cemetery and see that statue that stands in the northwest corner, northeast corner of the cemetery, which is a kind of stereotype of literally hundreds of statues at that time in the United States, but I suggest that a better one would be to go over here in the courtyard and look at the statue of Mother Bickerdyke, not unfittingly, because it is true that a movement for improving the status of women closely paralleled the movement for the emancipation of the slaves.
Then a man like Henry Ward Beecher, for example, presided over the first national convention to give women their suffrage. And incidentally, Mother Bickerdyke came to Galesburg from Oberlin, which has a kind of fascination. Incidentally you may remember Marlene Merrill, wife of the philosophy teacher at Knox College. She is at the present time doing a special study of what Oberlin College did for the status of women. Knox College wasn't quite so [reckless] in that matter. It wasn't until 1870 that, for example, we had coeducation at Knox.
Okay. So far everything I've given you has been pretty positive, but it didn't always work out that way. Let me give you one more incident of this kind, and then I'll let you ask questions. Another quotation from a newspaper. This is for June the 15th, 1860.
Quote: "The colored citizens have formed an African literary and debating society. Joseph H. Barquet is secretary. The need for it comes from the fact that we are informed that, notwithstanding the teacher at Saluda School" that was a district school in Galesburg, "Makes no objection, the children of Mr. Knox, a white man, a mulatto woman are excluded from the school. These children are so nearly white that they have to be pointed out from the rest of the school."
Ok. As one report put it, even in Galesburg, fear about, quote, "mixing" the races led to separation of the schools, not at Knox, you see, where-- and this is in what was called the free school—what we call public schools today.
And in one of the great issues of the '60s, when the population in Galesburg multiplied about 700%, partly due, mainly due to the flight to Galesburg of the so-called contrabands from Missouri that, when the war started, felt they could flee, you see, and escape slavery, there developed -- there appeared a separation of the schools and it's become a very serious issue in which Joseph Barquet was a very active political figure.
Year after year there were petitions. On one occasion, 25 of the children went to what was finally a high school and, and, and, asked to be admitted. And the principal told him he couldn't do that; they'd have to go to the school superintendent. So, they then marched to the superintendent's place [inaudible] of the father and he told them he couldn't do it because the school board would have to do it. The school board wouldn't do it, so Barquet then, among other things, tried to organize a referendum in the politics.
Um, but ultimately, uh and in 1874, two of – there were two of these schools, particularly black schools, um, were burned. The first of these burned early in the year, and it was at that time said because of an accident in handling of a wood fire, but when these students were redistributed to another school down on Monmouth Boulevard—the concentrations of blacks, incidentally, in the southwestern part of Galesburg had appeared almost at once when the town was founded—that school burned, too.
Um, in any event, in 1875 the state of Illinois finally passed a law uh, against this kind of refusal to admit black students to the nearest school, although three or four months after this law was passed, I have a note that indicates there was still de facto a black school in Galesburg, so we've come, in that respect at least, a long way uh since then.
It was not, however, until 1881 that uh, a black person was graduated from the high school, and this is an important thing to remember when you ask, well, "How come their education moved so slow?" And I want to read you, again, a newspaper report.
"Miss Belle Allen, whose name appears in the list of graduates, is a prominent colored lady of this city and is the first of her race to be graduated in the Galesburg High School. She graduated with merited honors.
Some 60 or 70 of our leading citizens desirous of showing their appreciation of her successful career and the example she has set as to how to achieve a proper recognition of her race, purchased a valuable gold watch and chain and presented them to her as a memento on Graduation Day.
It was intended to have presented these beautiful and valuable gifts at an appropriate time during the exercises Friday with an address by Dr. Bateman, who was the president of Knox. But for some reason, Superintendent Andrews objected and the plan was abandoned. We, in common with the donors, fail to see how any objection could be taken to a public presentation as intended.
She was the only colored graduate, and the class, could have felt no slight and would have appreciated the significance of the gift."
At Knox, however, fortunately, it was a different situation. Knox at this time was deeply involved in the activities of the American Missionary Association. And I'll characterize those briefly and then give you a chance to ask questions.
The American Missionary Association was a radical antislavery society already before the war, but even tried to do such reckless things as to send antislavery colonies into the south. A Knox graduate by the name of Scott Davis, for example, actually did make that effort in Kentucky at a place called Berea. While that failed, it was not ultimately entirely unsuccessful because, as you know, there still is a what?
A Berea colony. After the war, Knox people were particularly active as educational missionary bringing some education to the blacks in the south. At one time as many as 20 Knox alumni were engaged in this activity. At one time they totally staffed a school of this kind called Emerson Institute in Mobile, Alabama. It was not well received and it was burned to the ground under circumstances suggesting arson. But it was rebuilt.
They also maintained aggressive missionary activity in the western band of activity-- of Africa, that bend where Liberia and Sierra Leone is located, where, ah, the members of the -- where the American Colonization Society tried to ameliorate, anyway, the slavery problem in the United States, by colonizing black slaves back into Africa. It was also the place where a man who manumitted his slaves for humanitarian reasons might send them, you know. It was also the place where the slave trade, having been forbidden by international agreement, slave ships that were stopped ah, had their cargo rescued and sent back to Africa. The American Missionary Association made a station there.
Ah, in the 1860s, a Knox missionary, a Miss Winthrop, was a teacher there and she had a boy whose name after baptism became Barnabas Root. Another Knox man went there and they were married, but he, as so many of these missionaries did, became afflicted with a drop of a disease, came back to the United States to recover, but brought the boy, Barnabas Root, back with him to Princeton because he wanted to continue, this man did, the study of the African language.
To give the boy some education, the American Missionary Association underwrote his education at Knox and it was under these circumstances that Barnabas Root was graduated in 1874, I think was the date. The first black not only to receive a degree at Knox College, but the first black to receive a college degree in the state of Illinois. In other words, it took very special circumstances, you see, for a black to get a college degree at the time, but [they did agree it].
I think maybe I could close appropriately by reading you, part at least, of a letter which Barnabas wrote, wrote to the president of the American Missionary Society about his experience with prejudice.
[inaudible--audio incomplete; switch to a new tape]
and these teachers in the AMA schools in Africa were people that people that were [inaudible] what? Sensitivity to blacks. So it was in Galesburg, that he first what? Experienced prejudice, and here he writes about it.
[Reading from Root letter:]
In regard to the influence and effect of the prevailing feeling of prejudice of which you desire an expression of my thoughts. I have felt it very keenly since I have been here and more so during the past year, perhaps more exposed to, exposed to it than hitherto.
[Muelder aside:]
He's writing in 1868.
[Resume reading from Root letter:]
I have asked God to show me my duty in this matter and to keep me a humble Christian out from the blighty[?] degrading feeling of self-debasement which I see in almost everyone of my race in this country the legitimate effects of this feeling.
One great cause of this feeling I think of many is unacquaintance with us, or rather not being accustomed to coming in daily and familiar contact with the blacks on the part of the whites. I have found that among my fellow students who entertained much of this feeling when I first came here lost at least much of it. I seek not for what I have done but as a natural result of better acquaintance. I think in this way much can be done to help to do away with it.
Just a couple paragraphs out of what is a fascinating letter and I recommend that you read it in this book.
[laughter; applause]
Okay for the next, ah, five or six minutes do you have any questions? Questions that I can answer you understand.

It nearly got worse when Virginia Tech faced its first second-half deficit of the season Monday night.
But Jarell Eddie and Erick Green were there to bail out the Hokies, denying UNC Greensboro an upset in men's basketball at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Eddie, a junior forward, scored a career-best 28 points, including the last of the Hokies' 14 baskets from 3-point range, in the 96-87 non-conference victory.
First-year coach James Johnson of Virginia Tech figured it was a good experience for his team, which was on the road for the first time.
"We grew up," Johnson said. "We took a step forward. We haven't seen adversity like that in the first three games."
The Hokies (4-0) watched their 14-point second-half lead vanish and they faced a 77-73 deficit.
"We needed that because there are going to be times like that when we're going to be down in that position and we need to fight back," Eddie said.
Virginia Tech's 10-0 burst, which included Green scoring six and capped by Eddie's 3-pointer, changed the momentum and the Atlantic Coast Conference team prevailed by making enough free throws the rest of the way.
Earlier in the day, the ACC learned that
Green, a senior guard, tallied a career-best 26 points, scoring 19 of those in the second half. He was 16 of 16 on foul shots.
It was a frustrating conclusion for the Spartans (1-3), who are winless against Division I opponents. They lost by three points Friday night at
"To come out of both of those games without a win is tough," UNCG coach Wes Miller said. "(If) we keep taking the right steps, things will work out for us at the end. We have to figure out how to finish games."
Virginia Tech was 14 of 22 on 3-pointers, marking the first time this season that UNCG's opponent had more 3s than the Spartans, who were 11 of 35 from long range.
"I don't know if that's going to be the norm (making that many 3s), but we've got some guys who can make some shots," Johnson said.

I would love to learn more about the old favourites of the 6 gods. Which includes:
Harpies - previous servants of Dwayna. They probably got jealous of Dwayna favouring other races (giants or humans) before them, and hence betrayed Dwayna.
Giants - previous kings of all races. Used to rule the world with powerful magic before they were abandoned by the 6 gods. Even then, their pure size is often enough to devastate entire armies. Its lucky for the world today that giants are rare and only fights alone.
Jotuns - The old favourite of the gods. Like the giants they used to wield powerful magic. Then they started killing themselves for racial purity and the gods abandoned them.
Ogres - Relatives to the Jotuns. Now they only care about their pets. They might have been close to Melandru.
Ettins - Another giant race that we know almost nothing about.
Norns - Today they developed a culture of spiritual worship. But in the ancient days they used to worship the 6 gods. But once again they were abandoned by the 6 gods. Legend has it that humans came from the Norns.
Humans - The favour of the 6 gods after the giants. But after the defeat of Abaddon, the 6 god left the world. So they too were abandoned by the 6 gods.
Abaddon - Originally magic was reserved for the giants. But Abaddon decided to give magic to every race, hence the start of bloody conflicts where no race overrules another. When the other 5 gods decided to limit the use of magic though bloodstone, Abaddon got so enraged that he started a war against all 5 other gods. What truth drove this god of knowledge to such extremes?

Representing the Baby Boks has been the first step towards becoming a fully fledged Springbok for many a talented, young player, and Shimlas flyhalf is hoping to follow the same route.
Cronjé was selected for the SA U20 touring squad that went to Argentina in February and is now hoping to force his way into Eric Saul's final squad for the IRB Junior World Championship in Japan in June.
The versatile 19-year-old has played at flyhalf and fullback, but it is in the No 10 jersey where he believes his talents are best utilised.
'I'm very proud of my kicking game and I think my distribution is also one of my greatest assets,' says Cronjé. 'The tour to Argentina went very well and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I got quite a lot of game time at flyhalf which was a big positive for me.'
Securing the pivot role for the Junior World Championship will be a tough challenge for the former Queen's College pupil as he faces stiff competition from some of the country's best young flyhalves.
'I'm going up against two very good rivals in the form of Sias Ebersohn and Francois Brummer, who are both playing Vodacom Cup rugby and went to last year's Junior World Champs in Wales. It certainly won't be an easy task trying to get my hands on the No 10 jersey, but it's a challenge that I'm really looking forward to.'
Cronjé's coach at Shimlas, Jaco Swanepoel, speaks highly of the youngster's work rate and believes he has what it takes to play at the highest level.
'Lionel has a very bright career ahead of him,' says Swanepoel. 'He has a fantastic attitude. When he returned from Argentina he was made to sit on the bench because we had just come off a very good result over Tuks [in the Varsity Cup] and I didn't want to change things. But he never once dropped his head, instead he told me he was going to work even harder to get his place back in the team, even though he was not left out because of his form.'
Swanepoel believes Cronjé's versatility could stand him in good stead when Eric Sauls makes his final selection for the Junior World Championship.
'He has the ability to play at both fullback and flyhalf due to his size [93kg, 1.84m] and I believe that he is more than capable of slotting in at inside centre too. That for me puts him ahead of the other two in the pecking order.'
