New dragstrip and road course under development in the Northwest
New dragstrips here in the United States are so rare, they border on nonexistent. With the spread of suburbia and the rising cost of operations, it's all most dragstrip owners can do just to stay open and keep the neighbors and noise regulations at bay. Yet in Washington state, something unusual is happening: a brand-new dragstrip and road course are taking shape.
The two race tracks, together known as the Ridge Motorsports Park, are the brainchildren of Rod and Karen Powell, who live nearby and were looking for a way to invest the money they got from selling their manufacturing business. Rod, a car guy for life, former amateur Porsche racer and current amateur GT1 stock car driver, said what led him and Karen – and their business partner Joe Manke – to envision the motorsports park was the lack of safe track day venues in the Northwest.
Our local tracks have tremendous localized pressures regarding neighbors, noise, environment, the usual. And lots and lots of walls. The tracks when built were in the middle of nowhere, but alas, housing came out to meet them over the years, and now, constant battles. So, we saw a market opening.
We also felt that building a racing facility with two distinct racing surfaces and each having its own paddock would be popular as well. Our tracks, in fact most tracks, combine the dragstrip with the road course, so one user group is always waiting for the other to get off track. Around here, it is the drag racers that have to pay the price, as road course work takes the bulk of any day. I have seen these guys line up for hours just to get a parking spot so they could enjoy their sport, and it made no sense. We want this track to be easy to use, thus desirable to come back to. Building a separate racing surface for our customers just makes good business sense.
We also spent considerable time at Thunderhill in California, and realized, from a business perspective, that a club level track facility could be very successful indeed. For us in the PNW, Thunderhill in Willows CA is somewhat of a mecca, we will drive 10-12 hours one way to run it. Lots of elevation, good pavement, rental garages, etc. Things we lack up here.
Lastly, we wanted environment. The PNW is truly one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and a race facility nestled into the trees (think Spa-Francorchamps) we felt would be a hit.
Since the track's inception in 2005, the Powells and Manke have located a 173-acre piece of property in Shelton, Washington, not far from the Seattle/Tacoma area (with another 80 acres on option), they've begun clearing the land, and they've cleared the most important hurdle of all: They got their special use permit from the county in April. That means construction of the tracks has already started, and Rod said their goal is to get the track surfaces laid by August 15 for an opening date of September 15.
"All of the user groups typically book a year out, so we will probably do an 'invite only' kind of schedule this fall to keep everyone excited, and schedule dates for 2012," Rod said.
As far as the dragstrip is concerned, it will be a NRHA-regulation 1/4-mile strip, but Rod said no decision has yet been made to have it sanctioned by the NHRA or IHRA. The 2.43-mile, 15-turn road course (with a 2,800-foot straightaway and 500 feet of elevation change) will be designed by Steve Crawford, the main designer for Thunderhill, based on initial designs by Johannes van Overbeek. The first phase of construction will focus on the tracks themselves, while phase two will focus on adding bathrooms, food service facilities, and rental garages.

Four-Links – the Allard that ended American road racing, Bomonster, COPO Citations, trikes
* The announcement of the Springfield Vintage Grand Prix earlier this week neatly coincided with a post on The Chicane on the Fred Wacker Allard J2 that competed in the 1952 Watkins Glen road races and contributed to the end of organized road racing in the United States.
* If you aren't checking out the Friday Art Show every week on the H.A.M.B., you're missing a lot of great, mostly lowbrow and lowbrow-inspired, art. One of the regulars there is Bomonster, who works entirely in scratchboard and seems to have a lot of fun doing it.
* Every Chevrolet enthusiast knows what COPO stands for, right? But how many of them also know that a group of 200 Citations were ordered through the COPO program in the 1980s for a regional promotion? Hover Motor Co. has the scoop.
* Gary Littlejohn's Cinderella Cart is one of several groovy 1960s/1970s trikes that Working Class Kustoms recently rounded up photos of. This is the kind of unbridled awesomeness that happens when you put LSD in the country's water supply.
* Finally, we spotted these photos of another Studebaker building on Flickr's Vintage Car Showrooms pool, this one in St. Petersburg, Florida. A little googling, and we see it's at 600 Fourth St. South. Shouldn't there be a registry for these Studebaker buildings?
SIA Flashback – Racing in the Streets, Midwest Style
Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, is today know to auto enthusiasts as the home of Road America. Yet as Frank Bruno related in SIA #81, June 1984, before the construction of the track, Elkhart Lake hosted quite the road race, attracting Cunninghams, Jaguars, Alfa Romeos, and all sorts of interesting spectator cars, including at least one Tucker. Fortunately, Frank snapped plenty of photos to give us a feel for the action.
Maryland legislation opens the door to road racing
Motorsports fans of a certain age fondly reminisce about the era of open-road racing, where major events were held on public roads. Many major international events, from the transit stages of World Rally to annual events such as the Targa Newfoundland, still incorporate tarmac stages, but they're largely extinct in the U.S.
Surprisingly, Maryland took a step toward bringing them back in the first part of the House of Delegates 2007 session with the passage of Senate Bill 984/House Bill 1356. In anticipation of a 1.2-mile hill climb up Polish Mountain on Gilpin Road in Allegany County, scheduled to take place during the spring of 2007, the bills authorized the State Highway Administration (SHA) or a local authority, as applicable, to approve a motor vehicle racing event on a highway if the event is held under conditions that provide reasonable safety and prevent unreasonable interference with traffic.
The sponsors of a motor vehicle or bicycle racing event must indemnify the state and local governments from any loss arising out of or relating to the racing event and provide comprehensive liability insurance.
While SB984/HB1356 expire on September 30, 2009, there's no reason an enterprising individual couldn't use the provision to organize a rally stage on the rural roads of Maryland's farm country.

Secret Service gets first female leader
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Tuesday appointed Julia Pierson, a longtime Secret Service agent, as the first woman to head the agency best known for protecting the president, vice president and their families.
Pierson, the chief of staff to Mark J. Sullivan, who retired as director last month, will take over at a time when the Secret Service is still recovering from a prostitution scandal last year that held it up to public ridicule, generated congressional hearings and cost a number of agents their jobs.
The appointment represented a milestone for law enforcement, putting a woman at the top of an agency with a storied past. Obama has also installed women as directors of the Marshals Service and Drug Enforcement Administration.
With 30 years of experience in the Secret Service, Pierson, 53, boasts a résumé much like those of her predecessors, including a stint on President George Bush's protective detail.

What are Volcanoes?
Volcanoes are places where the plates of the Earth's surface have cracks in them, so that the very hot melted rocks that are under the tectonic plates bubble up to the surface. The hot melted rocks are called magma. The magma is under a lot of pressure inside the Earth's plates, so when it gets a chance to let off some of that pressure by shooting out into the air, it does just that. There are volcanoes on other planets, too.
Probably in the early years just after the planet Earth formed, about four and a half billion years ago, there were a lot more volcanoes than there are now, and they erupted more frequently. It may be that the heat from these volcanoes was what warmed up the water in the oceans so that it melted and got warm enough to make proteins into proteinoids, part of the beginning of life on Earth. Volcanoes also may be the thing that created land, by shooting up rocks into the ocean that covered the whole Earth, and then piling those rocks up, eruption after eruption, until the tops of the piles stuck out of the water and became islands.
While volcanoes are very dangerous to people when they are erupting, after the eruption volcanoes still bring many useful things to plants and animals. The magma that shoots out of the volcanoes cools into different kinds of igneous and metamorphic rocks like lava, quartz, pumice, granite, and basalt, and when these rocks wear down and become dirt it is very rich dirt that is good for growing plants. The obsidian, or volcanic glass, made good sharp tools for Neolithic farmers, and even today doctors still use obsidian for knives for operations.

Made a rear admiral in October 1941, Tanaka commanded the 2nd Destroyer Flotilla, one of the most highly trained units of the Japanese navy and especially expert in night action. In his flagship cruiser Jintsu, Tanaka was involved in most major battles of the first 18 months of the war. He was particularly well known for the so-called Tokyo Express—nightly supply runs to Japanese army units on Guadalcanal. Called by the Americans "Tenacious Tanaka," he routinely slipped past often superior Allied naval forces equipped with radar and gained a reputation in the West as one of the most brilliant and indefatigable Japanese navy commanders of the war. In the Battle of Tassafaronga on 30 November 1942, a superior U.S. force under Rear Admiral Carlton H. Wright intercepted Tanaka's ships trying to float barrels of supplies ashore to Guadalcanal. The ships were not deployed for combat, and Tanaka lost a destroyer, but his crews used their Long Lance torpedoes to good effect and sank one U.S. cruiser and damaged three others before making their escape.
The Americans learned from their mistakes in this and other actions and developed improved night-fighting techniques. In July 1943, while Tanaka was trying to reinforce the Japanese garrison on Kolombangara in the Solomon Islands, U.S. Navy warships badly damaged his flagship, the Jintsu, which then sank. Shortly thereafter, Tanaka was dismissed from his post and assigned to command an obscure naval base in Burma, allegedly for criticizing his superiors' decision to squander scant Japanese destroyer assets in trying to supply Japanese island outposts. Although promoted to vice admiral in 1944, Tanaka did not again see combat. He died in Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, on 9 June 1969.

morePre-Revolutionary Voices
African captives, ruthlessly torn from their homeland, registered their complaint in a number of ways, most violently in countless mutinies aboard the slave ships that plied the Atlantic during the brutal Middle Passage. Much of what we know of these bloody episodes has been distilled from the logs and journals of the slave captains, particularly such notorious slavers as Captain Canot, John Hawkins, and John Newton.
These records, however, provide scarcely any information about African tribal life or the circumstances of the captives before they were marched off to the coastal fortresses and subsequently crammed into the fetid holds of the ships. It is from a few priceless slave narratives that we gather some notion of what village life was like in certain regions of West Africa in the latter part of the eighteenth century. James Albert (Ukawsaw Gronniosaw) was the rambunctious grandson of the King of Bornu. From his narrative we are afforded a brief glimpse of African life and the events that led to his captivity. A restless and inquisitive young man, Gronniosaw's preoccupation with the existence of a Supreme Being will follow and sustain him throughout his ordeal. As we will see in many of the selections in this book, God and religion are common topics for an oppressed people seeking liberation.
Olaudah Equiano also credits the Creator for helping him survive the hellish experience of being sold into slavery. Equiano, who also went by the name Gustavus Vassa, wrote perhaps the most anthologized slave narrative. His vivid reminiscence of village life in his native Guinea is hardly exhaustive but does give the reader an excellent idea of the African life so many were forced to leave behind. Among his most remarkable and painful stories is the one included here, which tells of the horrors he witnessed aboard the slave ship that carried him from his homeland.
Although Phillis Wheatley was also born in Africa, she never wrote a slave narrative. Her two most famous poems signify a complex but conflicted writer who was ambiguous about her African heritage. While it is not certain why she began to write poetry, it may have been to emulate Alexander Pope and other favorites from the neoclassical tradition. Her critics contend she failed to express a stronger concern for the plight of her people; her supporters that it is necessary to read between the lines to detect her subversive intentions. Whatever the case, we cannot ignore the role she played as a literary pioneer.
Noted for being America's first black preacher to an all-white congregation, Lemuel Haynes wrote the "ballad" that follows in a burst of patriotic pride. Though he did not participate in the Battle of Lexington, he hurried to the scene shortly after it occurred. Unwavering in his critique of slavery, he often noted the hypocrisy of slaveholders protesting British oppression. Even now, 225 years later, the defiant message of Haynes's poem (shortened for this book) still resonates with power and conviction.
More than five thousand African Americans fought in the Revolutionary War, and a good number of them--Peter Salem, Salem Poor, Barzillai Lew, and Pomp Blackman--did so with great honor. Unfortunately, distinguishing themselves on the battlefield did not automatically confer citizenship to the veterans and their families. Many petitions were launched by African Americans such as John and Paul Cuffe and others in 1780, asserting "no taxation without representation." By 1815, the latter Cuffe, a prosperous ship owner, had given up on the States and become an ardent colonizationist and at his own expense transported thirty-eight African Americans to Sierra Leone, many of whom worked as missionaries.
James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw
From A Narrative of the Most Remarkable Particulars in the Life of James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw, An African Prince, Written by Himself
I WAS BORN IN THE CITY OF BAURNOU, my mother was the eldest daughter of the reigning King there. I was the youngest of six children, and particularly loved by my mother, and my grand-father almost doated on me.
I had, from my infancy, a curious turn of mind; was more grave and reserved, in my disposition, than either of my brothers and sisters, I often teazed them with questions they could not answer; for which reason they disliked me, as they supposed that I was either foolish or insane. 'Twas certain that I was, at times, very unhappy in myself: It being strongly impressed on my mind that there was some GREAT MAN of power which resided above the sun, moon and stars, the objects of our worship.--My dear, indulgent mother would bear more with me than any of my friends beside.--I often raised my hand to heaven, and asked her who lived there? Was much dissatisfied when she told me the sun, moon and stars, being persuaded, in my own mind, that there must be some Superior Power.--I was frequently lost in wonder at the works of the creation: Was afraid, and uneasy, and restless, but could not tell for what. I wanted to be informed of things that no person could tell me; and was always dissatisfied.--These wonderful impressions began in my childhood, and followed me continuously till I left my parents, which affords me matter of admiration and thankfulness.
To this moment I grew more and more uneasy every day, insomuch that one Saturday (which is the day on which we kept our sabbath) I laboured under anxieties and fears that cannot be expressed; and, what is more extraordinary, I could not give a reason for it.----I rose, as our custom is, about three o'clock (as we are obliged to be at our place of worship an hour before the sun rise) we say nothing in our worship, but continue on our knees with our hands held up, observing a strict silence till the sun is at a certain height, which I suppose to be about 10 or 11 o'clock in England: When, at a certain sign made by the Priest, we get up (our duty being over) and disperse to our different houses.--Our place of meeting is under a large palm tree; we divide ourselves into many congregations; as it is impossible for the same tree to cover the inhabitants of the whole city, though they are extremely large, high and majestic; the beauty and usefulness of them are not to be described; they supply the inhabitants of the country with meat, drink and clothes; the body of the palm tree is very large; at a certain season of the year they tap it, and bring vessels to receive the wine, of which they draw great quantities, the quality of which is very delicious: The leaves of this tree are of a silky nature; they are large and soft; when they are dried and pulled to pieces, it has much the same appearance as the English flax, and the inhabitants of Bournou manufacture it for clothing, &c. This tree likewise produces a plant, or substance, which has the appearance of a cabbage, and very like it, in taste almost the same: It grows between the branches. Also the palm tree produces a nut, something like a cocoa, which contains a kernel, in which is a large quantity of milk, very pleasant to the taste: The shell is of a hard substance, and of a very beautiful appearance, and serves for basons, bowls, &c. . . .
About this time there came a merchant from the Gold Coast (the third city in Guinea) he traded with the inhabitants of our country in ivory, &c. he took great notice of my unhappy situation, and inquired into the cause; he expressed vast concern for me, and said, if my parents would part with me for a little while, and let him take me home with him, it would be of more service to me than any thing they could do for me.--He told me that if I would go with him I should see houses with wings to them walk upon the water, and should also see the white folks; and that he had many sons of my age, which should be my companions; and he added to all this that he would bring me safe back again soon.--I was highly pleased with the account of this strange place, and was very desirous of going. . . .

Veysonnaz is a picturesque sunny mountain resort located at 1350 metres in the Valaisan Alps with an amazing view over the Rhone Valley and its capital city Sion.
It is part of the "4 Valleys" ski domain with its 400km of slopes, 100 installations and its famous "Piste de l'Ours". Snow is guaranteed thanks to the numerous snow canons. And in addition, the perfect connection of the holiday village to Sion airport (20 minutes car ride) and to Geneva airport (2 hours car rode) makes it even more attractive.
However, World Cup riders are especially attracted by a nice snowboard cross course which has been built for the world wide tour for the first time in the 2010 winter season. Starting on more than 2,500 metres of altitude and finishing in about 2,000 metres the track offers a breathtaking vertical drop of some 500 metres while about 20 features have to be tackled all the way down.
Due to this, it's no wonder, that the World Cup circuit comes back in 2015.

32 ladies and 57 men will enter the 950 metres long snowboard cross course in Veysonnaz for their penultimate race of the 2014 World Cup season today as the qualifiers for tomorrow's finals are set to kick off at 10:45 AM with the men.
As last discipline of the FIS Snowboard World Cup tour the international snowboard cross series will run its last races of the season in the up-coming week. On March 10 and 11, 2014, Veysonnaz, Switzerland, will host the single race which was cancelled last January. Just a few days later, on March 14 and 15, 2014, the SBX season's finals and thus the showdown for the Crystal Globes will take place in La Molina, Spain,
FIS Officials have found a way to reschedule the Veysonnaz, Switzerland, snowboard cross event which was canceled a few weeks ago. However, to avoid calendar clashes the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup finals scheduled in La Molina, Spain, had to be postponed, too.
Due to the lack of snow to build a decent World Cup course, the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup weekend in Veysonnaz, Switzerland, scheduled for January 17 thru 19, 2014, has to be postponed and will most likely take place in March with the exact date still to be announced.

All Joel wants for Festivus
Anyway, here's my wish list for 2008:
- Some way to record and watch Big Bang / HIMYM, Chuck, and House (all airing at the same time starting in January) so I don't have to resort to watching one of them on my laptop.
- Speaking of Mother, please let them end the season with a bang. And please keep Britney as far away from the set as possible.
- More web series as well-written and funny as Dr. Horrible and Children's Hospital.
- A dignified and funny "final" season of Scrubs.
- Matt Weiner's return to the helm of Mad Men. That show won't be the same without him.
- A continued ratings decline of the reality genre (yes, including American Idol).
- That Reaper gets decent ratings when it finally returns.
- Kate Walsh's phone number (hey, she's back on the market, folks...)

Sen. Mike Lee
Senator Mike Lee visited Price on Tuesday morning and had a town meeting with business and political leaders in the area.
And based on his comments, it is obvious he feels the Federal government has over-reached itself in too many areas of people's lives.
Lee, who is known as a Constitutionalist, posed those views to about 30 people in the Price City council chambers. He told stories about his family and his time in Washington D.C. He also offered some solutions for the country/s woes on everything from the economy to Social Security to energy. He also largely talked about the bureaucracy that he says Washington D. C. has become.
"The government is on autopilot," he stated."We have people making laws that aren't elected. Government regulations did number 160,000 pages of material, and just recently they introduced another 82,000 pages. Right now the American people pay $1.75 trillion because of those regulations."
Lee said the federal government needs to provide some things, such as national defense, regulate the relations between states and some national laws, but that they should leave most everything else up to the states themselves. He said that he is introducing legislation that will cause government regulations to sunset at some point without a vote of Congress, so regulations won't be so overwhelming and onerous. 'Tyranny of expertise'
"We are staring at the tyranny of expertise," he said. "These people who run the government use that to make new rules and restrict lifestyles. Where I come from that's called tyranny."
Lee also made comments on a number of things that the audience asked about.
- Carbon County Commissioner Mike Milovich asked him about news reports that he supported Sanpete County in their bid to get the Gooseberry Narrows Dam built. Lee said he had studied the situation some but wouldn't "take a public position on it until it got teed up before Congress."
- Lee defended the use of coal for generating power.
"I've benefited every day of my life from coal," he said. "There are lot of people that don't like coal (in Washington D.C.). They are going to continue to regulate it in degrees until they are rid of it."
- Lee complimented the Utah State Legislature for passing the bill that is intended to take back all the federal land that he and others maintain should have been granted to Utah right after statehood. Too much public land
"We'd all be nervous if one person owned even five percent of the land in the state because they would control so much of what could be done economically," he said. "East of Colorado the federal government only owns about 15 percent of the land. West of there the percentage is 50 percent and in Utah it is two thirds of the land. That makes it a lot more complicated. It's like having another sovereign government within the state. They can say you can't tax them. If you want to use the land for something it can take five to 10 years for them to do studies and resource management plans. And if they don't like what you want to do when all is said and done they can turn it off anyway. Win, lose or draw on this bill, we need to start a national discussion on this issue. If the East wants the land to remain fallow or to have it unused to make them feel all warm and fuzzy about it, that's fine. But then let them pay for it."
- When asked by Price Mayor Joe Piccolo about the possibility of turning the Carbon Power Plant (that appears to be subject to being closed in the next decade) into some kind of power generation research facility, Lee said he thought that was worth pursuing and he would like to stay in the loop on those developments.
- Carbon County Chamber of Commerce Director Ann Evans asked about health insurance and commented on how it is so hard for someone to get insurance after they have had cancer (even after five years of being clean) without some kind of government plan to aid them. Lee said that he was confident that the national health plan that was before the Supreme Court this past week would be struck down and that the national government shouldn't have anything to do with it anyway.
"Let the states handle it," he said. "A national plan takes into account the health and health risks of people all over the country, when the truth is that the health of people around the nation is different from place to place," he said. "A national plan blurs the lines and everyone is looked at the same way. There are a number of things that can be done including insurance exchanges where insurance can be purchased on the open market and the state will subsidize it."
He went on to say that the states should handle health care because they do all the licensing of doctors, insurance companies, etc. He stated that the average cost of health care used by an individual in Utah is $3,700 per year while in Washington D.C. it is $8,000 per year.
- Price City Councilman Wayne Clausing asked Lee about Social Security and what he thinks should be done to keep it solvent.
Lee said that Social Security would have been alright if Congress had not been borrowing from the trust fund for years. He said what is owed to that trust fund is part of the national debt and it will just get worse. He is proposing legislation that will not affect anyone with the benefits they should be getting that are beyond 55 at the time the bill becomes law. The new law would then adjust the retirement age a month or two every year for 20 years to help make the system solvent. He also says within that bill are provisions so that the wealthy would not get full Social Security payments.
- Carbon County Commissioner Jae Potter also asked Lee about getting environmentalists off the backs of local governments and businesses. Commissioner John Jones also brought up the fact that environmental groups can file lawsuits, and get support from the government for funding them.
Lee said that the Equal Access to Justice Act should stop being funded (the act allows for individuals or groups to sue the government while getting payment for the legal fees they might incur). He said it unbalances justice.
"This is not a Democratic or a Republican issue," he stated. "If government puts its thumb on one side of the scales of justice it unbalances that scale."
- Carbon County Economic Director Delynn Fielding asked Lee about the national debt and what could be done about it.
"Well there is a painful way to solve it and a more painful way," he said. "The less painful way is for Congress to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment that will keep them from borrowing money in the future. The more painful way is for us to keep going the way we are and then we will have no choices. If something isn't done in the next five to 10 years we will have to slash, burn and cut everything."
Lee also made comments about Congress as a whole and concerning their inability to avoid gridlock and to work together.
"We have a lot of people in Congress who if they can't get what they want, then they don't want anything."

Ernest D. Rowley, PLS
Weber County Recorder/Surveyor
Ernest was born in Fillmore, Utah (the territorial capitol of Deseret), grew up in Meadow where he obtained the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America, and graduated from Millard High School. After graduating he served an L.D.S. Church mission in South Dakota. After returning from his mission he and his new bride, Carolyn Rosselot, began raising a family which has grown to include five children and five grandchildren. He attended Utah Technical College in Orem, Utah now known as Utah Valley State College , where he graduated with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Drafting and Design Technologies, which included course studies in surveying and mapping.
After completing college he obtained work with Sunrise Engineering, Inc. in Fillmore, Utah as a draftsman. After less than a month of employment he was asked to help on the surveying crew to complete a large road project and placed him on the path to becoming a licensed surveyor. While at Sunrise he worked as an Engineering Technician and eventually obtained his land surveying license in Utah in 1989. He also worked as the contracted County Surveyor for Millard and Sanpete counties.
In March of 1993 he sought employment outside of Rural Utah and moved to Layton to begin working in Northern Utah for Knox & Associates in Bountiful as chief of surveys. In April of 1995, after Mr. Martin Moore was elected the Weber County Surveyor, he was appointed by Mr. Moore as Chief Deputy Surveyor for the Weber County Surveyor's Office.
February 3rd, 2006, Mr. Moore passed away after a long battle with cancer. His passing caused the office of county surveyor to be vacant. Subsequently, Ernest was appointed as Weber County Surveyor by the County Commission on March 14th, 2006 to fill the remainder of Martin's term in office which ended December 31st, 2006.
On January 31, 2006, the Weber County Commission, by ordinance, consolidated the offices of Recorder and Surveyor. This was the first time in the history of the county that these offices have been combined to be directed by a single department head. Ernest was successfully elected to the new office of Recorder/Surveyor on November 7th, 2006, and took the oath of office on January 2nd, 2007, where he currently serves the citizens of Weber County.
Ernest is a Licensed Land Surveyor in the States of Utah, Nevada and Illinois. In addition to his state surveying licenses' and A.A.S. degree, he has received training and certificates in Advanced Land Surveying from Snow College, Computer Aided Drafting for AutoCAD, Eagle Point engineering software, VersaCAD, and LazerCAD. He has also recieved GIS software certification using ArcView, and equipment certification on Leica Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
Ernest is a member of the National Association of County Recorders, Election Officials and Clerks and the National Association of County Surveyors. He serves on the Utah Association of Counties Board of Directors. He has also served as the Secretary/Treasurer of the County Recorders Association in 2009, and as Vice President in 2010. He has also been appointed by Governor Gary Herbert to serve as a member of the State Records Committee.
He is an active member of and served in many leadership capacities in the Utah Council of Land Surveyors, (UCLS) in the Salt Lake Chapter and the Golden Spike Chapter as well as being a member of the UCLS State Board of Directors from 1998 to 2005.
He was presented with the "2005 Surveyor of the Year" award by the UCLS on February 23rd, 2006. The award is "In Recognition for Outstanding Work and Dedication to the Surveying Profession". This is a rare and significant award for him to recieve from his piers. He has also been presented the 2009 Outstanding County Surveyor award by the Utah Association of County Surveyors.
In addition to his Weber County duties he is an adjunct professor in the surveying program at Salt Lake Community College which occupies some of his time in the evenings during the fall and spring semesters. This college program is the only Surveying Degree program in the State of Utah and is staffed by a number of licensed professional surveyors.
Ernest found the demands of his position as Chief Deputy and County Surveyor to be challenging and rewarding. He finds the new challanges of the consolidated offices to be equally challanging and rewarding. He is committed to carrying on the "Legacy of Trust" that he and Martin have developed with the public. He will continue to work toward the stabilization of private property boundaries and the integerity of individual property rights.
Ernest's experience and knowledge have brought to the Surveyor's Office and now to the Recorder's Office accurate records. He established in the Surveyor's Office a program which the computerization of the records of the Surveyor's Office was begun. This computerization will manifest its self in the form of the Surveyor's GIS Data Base and in part is served to the public by way of the county web site. In 2007 Ernest was able to have launched a web based system of property research that is subscribed to by private companies nationwide and generates a revenue stream for the county general fund.

Traditional sales efforts used in conjunction with an interactive marketing program, like eDetailing, increases the value of in-person sales visits.
There are four ways Physicians Interactive programs can initiate physician sales force integration, including:
- Sales Force Notification — We can notify your sales representatives each time a physician in his or her territory completes an eDetail. This information helps your sales force access difficult-to-reach physicians and enables them to initiate a more meaningful and customized follow-up discussion.
- Physicians Interactive has determined that approximately 40% of physicians request representative follow-up and an estimated 60% request samples. In addition, approximately 70% of physicians complete our programs outside of regular representative hours, thus complementing, not competing with your sales force.
- Use the eDetail as a training tool — By viewing each program, sales representatives will become familiar with the content in the event that one of their physicians should ask questions. In addition, viewing the programs has an added benefit of reinforcing the key messages you want your sales force to deliver.
- Sales Rep Notification Cards — Your sales force can drop off a postcard notification to "no-see" or other important targets that highlight the program and educational item offered. Utilizing your sales force to invite physicians to the programs allows for more exposure and will further reinforce recruiting success. Often, the cards provide an opportunity for the sales representatives to help the physician complete the program on-site.
- RepAssist™ — gives Brand Managers the ability to arm their sales force with premium content that will drive multiple sales calls with their physicians. Not only will RepAssist™ open the doors to more physicians, it also ensures repeat visits as part of the plan.
An interactive program can open doors for your sales force, extending your reach beyond the doctor's waiting room.

Services To Make Your Cross Country Move Easier
Create Space With Pods
Personal on demand storage is rapidly becoming a more widely used tool worldwide. People who find themselves crammed into a house full of stuff that they barely use can greatly benefit from a Pods unit. These safe and weather resistant facilities will keep your belongings free from the weather and only you will have access to them. They can be used for many purposes as long as it requires something that needs to be put into storage. Pods is an effective way for families to free up space and give themselves enough time to sift through all their stuff to determine what stays and what goes. No one likes to be rushed and because Pods are so affordable you can take as much time as you need. Store everything you want to in the unit and go through it at your own pace so you can make a thoughtful decision on what is needed and what needs to go. They will likely make the house less stressful as you will not be overwhelmed with a bunch of stuff lying all over the place. Pods can also be very effective for businesses. Manual labor companies can store all their equipment in here and allow access to only the employees they deem reliable. Corporations that deal with a lot of paperwork will find these units useful as you can store all important documents without having to worry about anybody reading private information. Pods is a safe way to store all types of equipment and paperwork. Because of this, it is highly useful for any type of business out there. Another instance where people benefit from a Pods unit is moving. Oftentimes, during a move the house gets loaded up with junk and can become quite hectic. With a personal on demand storage, you can have a unit delivered to a location of your choosing and pack away all the boxes and items you can think of. This will make for a better environment to get more work done and lessen the chances of something falling. As you can see, Pods can be a great thing for just about anybody. Those looking to free up space in a cluttered home can do so with personal on demand storage. Most companies can reap the benefits of having a safe facility to store whatever tools or information they would like. Families that are moving will love the fact that they are able to do so without having to be careful where they walk.
Three Ways The Right Company Can Make Moving Easier
Moving by almost all accounts can be an expensive and stressful thing. Sometimes it may seem as though no matter what someone tries, there is no way to truly reduce the costs and hassles that come along with moving. Sometimes a family or individual may want to move to an area for a job, but may decide against because of the potential cost associated with it. The right moving company can help make moving simpler. By helping to provide such things as checklists and packing supplies, people can dramatically simplify the amount of preparation that comes before a big move. A checklist can help to make sure that all of the little things that sometimes can be forgotten are taken care of on time, and proper packing supplies can help to make sure things are safe and secure once on board a truck. A good moving service will also be able to accommodate anyone on any budget. Moving is not just a service for the super rich. Sometimes people choose to move because the loss of a job may make staying in their current home unsustainable, in which case a smaller house or apartment becomes necessary. All applicable costs, mileage charges and taxes should be discussed up front, so as to not catch anyone by surprise. Movers should also be able to provide great quality service while still being affordable, making it possible for anyone to be able to move should they need to. Moving should above all else be a service that is provided by experts who conduct themselves professionally. Good movers should be on time, not having to leave people hanging while they wait for their truck to show up. People who are loading and unloading boxes and furniture from a truck should also always be sure to take the greatest care with any families or businesses belongings, so that everything arrives in one piece. Moving should be a time that one looks forward to because they are starting a new chapter of their life. They should not dread it because of the hassle and cost. The right company can help to make moving a less stressful, confusing and expensive ordeal than it is commonly assumed to be.

Assault on free speech
If you say the 'wrong thing' in America today, you could be penalized, fired or even taken to court. In his novel ' 1984,' George Orwell imagined a future world where speech was greatly restricted … and it bears a striking resemblance to the political correctness that we see in America.
• An Ohio teacher is suspended for saying, 'We don't need another black president.'
• A Pennsylvania school newspaper is battling to resume using 'Redskins' to reference their school team in opposition to the principal's directive.
• An actor speaking out against the immorality of homosexual lifestyles is garnering invectives.
In each of these cases (et. al.) liberals have railed against the right of free speech, claiming certain words are 'hurtful' or 'offensive.'
Granted, the liberals also have a right to speak their mind, but to do so in an effort to silence others is alarming, especially when those in authority support their efforts.
'… a nation … afraid to let its people judge truth and falsehood … is a nation that is afraid of its people.' – John Kennedy Some have called this a First Amendment issue running into another First Amendment issue. What other first amendment issue? A right to unimpeded speech is the first freedom clarified in our Bill of Rights. Where is the right to not be called something enshrined? Where is this so-called right to not hear statements with which one may disagree?
'If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.' - George Orwell 'The notion of political correctness declares certain topics, certain expressions, even certain gestures, off-limits. What began as a crusade for civility has soured into a cause of … censorship.' - George Bush Freedom of speech also includes the option to not listen.

As Combat Mission Ends, a New U.S. Operation Begins
WASHINGTON—The U.S. mission in Iraq is set to undergo a major rebranding on Wednesday, when Vice President Joe Biden presides over a change-of-command ceremony in Baghdad marking the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the campaign that began in March 2003, and the beginning of a military assistance mission called Operation New Dawn.
But while the formal combat phase may end, U.S. troops aren't all going away. A substantial U.S. contingent will remain in Iraq to advise and train Iraqi security forces, and a civilian-led reconstruction effort will also continue. That new mission is set to expire in December 2011.
Currently, just under 50,000 U.S. troops are in Iraq, down from a peak of 166,300 at the height of the 2007 troop surge. The military anticipates that force level will remain steady through the end of next summer.
A total of six "advise and assist" brigades will remain on the ground to back up Iraqi security forces and oversee their training. The brigades will have their own intelligence and logistics components, and will offer communications support, medical evacuation and air transportation to Iraqi units.
The brigades will also have some assets that the Iraqis lack, such as drones and robots. They are also supposed to support Provincial Reconstruction Teams, the hybrid civilian-military teams that oversee development projects in the Iraqi hinterlands.
The U.S. military footprint is being substantially scaled back. In June 2009, U.S. troops occupied 357 bases; fewer than 100 bases will remain after the transition. In recent months, U.S. forces have moved millions of pieces of equipment from Iraq, a logistical operation that the military describes as the largest operation of its type since the buildup for World War II.
A mountain of military equipment will also remain in the country, however. Some 1.2 million items of military equipment are needed to support the new mission. Some equipment from the drawdown will be sent to troops fighting in Afghanistan; some will be handed over to Iraqi forces.
A substantial diplomatic mission will also stay in Iraq, staffing an embassy in Baghdad with hundreds of people, and civilian-led outposts in the provinces.
Continuing the U.S. diplomatic mission will require serious military-style support, from armored convoys to medical evacuation. The State Department has already requested that the Defense Department provide it with some military equipment to support its mission, including Black Hawk helicopters and mine-resistant trucks.
The State Department is also considering hiring contractors to operate some equipment to defend against rocket and mortar attacks or clear roadside bombs. The department expects that it may need as many as 6,000 or 7,000 security contractors in total to fully carry out its missions in Iraq.
A Look Back
The War's Toll
A look at the conflict and its milestones.
James Danly, a former Army officer and Iraq veteran who is a contributing scholar at the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said civilian agencies would be focused on "capacity building"—coaching their Iraqi counterparts.
"There are functions the Iraqis just can't fulfill independently right now," Mr. Danly said. "These range from technical things like running our equivalent of an FAA, to less-technical ones like forming a proper government."
Sectarian tensions continue in Iraq, and the country has seen a spate of bombings in recent weeks. In a speech at the American Legion's annual conference in Milwaukee, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made clear that the mission in Iraq was far from over.
"This is not a time for premature victory parades or self-congratulation, even as we reflect with pride on what our troops and their Iraqi partners have accomplished," Mr. Gates said. "We still have a job to do and responsibilities there."

K-cups to put in it. These are the small, disposable, containers of coffee/tea/hot chocolate/hot cider that all you have to do is pop into your Keurig, add water, and in 3 minutes....voila! It's ready!
l your Keurig needs is One Cup Connection! From brewers, to all the K-cup varieties you could want, they have it! If you're like me, and just starting out with your Keurig, (or like a lot of variety) you will love the Pick-A-Pack option. That's what I did, and it allowed me to try all different coffee varieties so I could decide what I liked best. Of course, it wasn't just coffee!
hot chocolate K-cups for my girls, tea for when I wanted a little "me time" in the evening, and some flavored varieties like the infamous Pumpkin Spice! Yes, they have Pumpkin Spice (still in stock at the time of this post - better hurry!) And let me just tell ya, a cup of Pumpkin Spice, with a dollop of Cinnamon Cool Whip, and holllaaaa. It is THE.BOMB! Who needs Starbucks?! Seriously, save yourself some time and money, and make these delicious drinks at home. *Iced coffees too* Your Keurig will pay for itself in no time!!
Back to the Pick-A-Packs....they are exactly what they sound like - you choose 8 K-cups of your choice, and there are SO many possibilities! (The traditional packs come in all the same flavor, with 22-24 cups per box - which is a lot better value than the 16 cups you can buy at some retail locations! **Not to mention great customer service and fast shipping**) Right now, through 11/30, they are offering a special where if you buy 4 (24ct.) boxes of K-Cups, you get a FREE Pick-A-Pack. Use code: PICKS
One Cup Connection has a specials page, so check it frequently for extra deals! They also have a blog, are on Facebook, and Twitter. Give them a follow so you can be the first to know about sales, and new products! As a matter of fact, they just put on Facebook the other day about a new coffee, Caribou Mahogany, that sounds so good! I can't wait to try it! (I'm a huge fan of molasses :D ) If you "like" One Cup Connection on Facebook, you can receive 20% off your first order of $50 or more! Just go to the Welcome tab on their Facebook page. Right now, I've fallen in love with Newman's Own Organic Special Blend Extra Bold, and the regular Donut House, but the Green Mountain Hot Chocolate was also delicious (what little bit I was allowed to taste from the girls), as well as the above mentioned Pumpkin Spice! I can't wait to see what other seasonal flavors will be coming out!
As a side note, I've heard some people use their Keurig for heating cups of water too - for instant drinks or soups. It's especially good for kids, b/c then they aren't trying to get very hot cups of water out of the microwave. I'm going to start doing this, since my microwave is above the kids' heads, and they have a hard time getting things in and out of it. Plus it is so darn fast!
Can you tell I love my Keurig and the different K-cups? Do you have one? If not, is it on your wish list?! What's your favorite coffee or tea?
Disclaimer: I received two Pick-A-Packs from onecupconnection.com to facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% my own. No other compensation was received, but boy, have I enjoyed reviewing my coffees!

Shriners, church provide 'working scholarship'
by W. Winston Skinner
When things seem impossible, sometimes a tree falls.
Last Marvin Bohannon, 19, was making plans to enroll at West Georgia Technical College in Carrollton. He needed some money to fund his schooling, but those prospects looked pretty slim. Then a tree fell, "the light came on" for a friend of Bohannon and members of Moreland United Methodist Church and the Newnan Shrine Club made some things happen.
The Newnan Shrine Club "has a special interest in Marvin's future because he was burned severely as a child and received treatment at the Shriner's Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio," Jim Jones related. Bill Sexton of the Newnan Shrine Club recalls having made trips to Cincinnati with Marvin for his care.
"Because of his special relationship with the Shriners, Newnan Shrine Club wanted to help Marvin with some of his educational expenses, but he didn't qualify for an academic scholarship," Jones said.
Then Jones got a call from George Washington. "A large oak tree" had fallen on Washington's property, and Washington was hoping Jones "would like to cut it up for firewood," Jones remembered.
"It took a few days for the light to come on, but then the answer came," Jones said. With Bohannon providing sweat equity – by helping to cut and sell the wood, he earned a $500 working scholarship.
Jones said the Moreland community, members of Moreland Methodist, members of the Masonic fraternity "and Marvin himself" made the project work.
The project is one in which those involved take pride and satisfaction. "Marvin has now completed almost a year at West Georgia Tech and plans to continue his education Point University," Jones said.

The following is a transcription of a newsparer article from the Rittman Press discussing the history of Sts Peter and Paul parish in Doylestown, Ohio. My cousin, Bill Shondel, of Gallipolis, Ohio, sent a copy of the original newspaper clipping to me in January of 1996. Since the Rittman Press appears to no longer be published, and since it has been nearly 48 years since the article was originally published, it is assumed that any copyrights have expired.
In researching my family history I've found one minor discrepency regarding the story of the founding of Sts. Peter and Pauls parish. Most accounts describe George Whitman arriving in the fall of 1826 from Adams County, Pennsylvania, followed shortly by the Peter Marshall family and other Catholic families. My research indicates that Peter Marshall (my ggg-grandfather) and George Whitman both arrived in Chippewa township in the spring of 1827. The other Catholic families appear to have arrived slightly later (the Shondels in the 1830's for example). The Marshalls and the Whitmans both left the "Old Church on the Hill" parish in the fall of 1826. This parish was located at Mount Saint Mary's College near Emmittsburg, Frederick County, Maryland, across the state line from Adams County, Pennsylvania. Peter Marshall was a son of Joseph Marshall of Adams County. The Whitman's spent the winter of 1826-27 at Myer's lake near Canton, while the Marshall's wintered on a Shorb family farm nearby. In the spring both families finished the trip to Chippewa township. I have located original records at Mount Saint Mary's noting their departure.

From The Rittman Press, Thursday, June 19, 1952, pages 16 and 17:
Doylestown Church to Observe 125th Year With Town
History of Sts. Peter and Pauls Church
by Mrs. Joseph M. O'Conner:
The history of Sts. Peter and Paul Church is full of color and romance. The first Mass was said in 1827, the same year in which the Village of Doylestown was laid out. This pioneer Catholic parish of northern Ohio, the oldest in the Diocese of Cleveland, numbered but eight families, when the first church of logs was built, and was without a resident pastor for some years.
The early Catholics made great sacrifices for their faith in those years, when the nearest church was St. John's in Canton, a distance of twenty-three miles. In the intervals when the priest did not come frequently, the people made the journey to Canton, on foot, to attend Mass and for instruction in Christian Doctrine preparatory to reception of the Sacraments. Young people walked to Canton to be married at the altar. In this way they preserved for posterity, that precious heritage, received from their forebears their Catholic faith and tradition, enhancing it by the contribution of their own lives.
Like all pioneer parishes of the country, the beginning of Sts. Peter and Paul was very humble. In September of 1826, German-Swiss Catholic settlers arrived in the locality of Chippewa Township, from Pennsylvania, in the hope of obtaining a livelihood in the fertile fields of northern Ohio.
First Settlers
The first to come here were George Whitman, with his wife, Elizabeth, and their children: Joseph, Michael, Catherine, Christian, Andrew and Elizabeth. They made the long journey from Adams County, Pennsylvania, in a covered wagon, drawn by four horses, in which they fearfully forded the Ohio river, and experienced all the hardships of pioneers. They wintered near Canton on a portion of the Andrew Myer farm, near Myer's Lake, helping to clear his land and split rails. In April 1827, they moved to Chippewa township, where they settled in section 9, about a mile southwest of Doylestown.
Very soon after that, they were joined by another son, Jacob, his family, and the following Catholics and their families: Peter Marshall and Henry Cole, both veterans of the War of 1812. Henry Cole fought in the battle of Lundy's Lane, near Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, in which young Captain Winfield Scott, later General, distinguished himself, and is buried in the parish cemetery near the church. Philip Patton, who settled at Fox Lake, southwest of Marshallville; Joseph Bartley, Louis Stuhlmiller, Nicholas Link, Christ Hummel, Benedict Street, Michael Hoplinger, a soldier under Napoleon in the Moscow campaign, and a Mr. Frizpatrick, who for some years taught Sunday School to the children of the Catholic settlers.
Gardner Brothers Arrive
There also arrived in 1829, two Gardner brothers: Michael, who settled at Luna Lake, near Clinton, and Anthony, who after some years, moved to Danville. Anthony Gardner had an inn at Erswieler, Alsace-Lorraine, and when it burned down, both he and his brother and their families came to America, and along the newly-opened Erie Canal to Buffalo, from whence they all walked via Cleveland to Chippewa township. In the '80's, a grandson of Anthony Gardner, Dr. Germanus Gardner, just out of medical college, settled in Doylestown and remained until 1905, then moved to Barberton.
Within these first few years the following single men arrived: Fidelis Hugel, who later married Catherine, and Benjamin Kindig, who was a convert to Catholicity and married Elizabeth, daughter of George Whitman; also Nicholas Mutters, who married Barbara, the daughter of Michael Hopplinger. All of these first settlers helped to build or to furnish the first church of the parish.
First Priest
The first Catholic priest who visited Doylestown was Father Francis Xavier Marshall of French and Pennsylvania German parentage. He was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania, and with his twin brother Joseph, educated at St. Mary's Seminary at Emmittsburg, Maryland. Ohio's first Catholic Archbishop, the Right Reverend John B. Purcell of Cincinnati, matriculated at the same school and was acquainted, prior to his ordination, with Peter Marshall, brother of Father Marshall.
Father Marshall came to visit Peter, whose 80 acres ran along the south side of Portage Road (state route 5) in section 16 of Chippewa township, and faced the George Whitman farm, which lay across and north of the same road, in section 9. Early on a Sunday morning in June, 1827, Father Marshall read the first Mass in Chippewa to the little group of Catholics gathered in the one room log-cabin of George Whitman.
After this, the parish was occasionally visited by Catholic missionaries and priests, who, on foot or by horse, traveled the dim paths of the then almost unbroken wilderness, serving the spiritual needs of the people scattered throughout the vast new "North-west Territory", recently opened for settlement by the United States Government. The missionary orders whose members served in the parish and the surrounding countryside in those early days were: the Dominican, the Redemptorist and the Sanguinist, as well as the secular clergy of the Catholic Church. A number of them came from European countries; from Germany, Switzerland, France, England, Ireland, Austria-Hungary and Italy to labor in the settlements of their own people.
The Whitman log cabin home served until 1834 as a chapel for these bearers of the gospel of Christ, and for the little backwoods parish. In this year Andrew Whitman, married since 1829 to Margaret, a daughter of Peter Marshall, built the present Whitman homestead, upon the their log cabin home, and in a room in this house mass was read until 1836. This home is now occupied by Fred Whitman and his family. Whitman is a grandson of Andrew, and a great-grandson of both George Whitman and Peter Marshall.
The Old Whitman Home
The fire of their faith was strongly enkindled in the hearts of these early settlers. While they came into this unknown country with material hopes, they placed their trust in God that they would not be denied the means of eternal salvation.
Need Church Building
This beautiful new land, with its rich soil, yielding in abundance to their willing labor with it, their first thought was to offer to God the loving gratitude and worship of children singularly blessed by His Providence.
Practical Christians in the true sense, from the very beginning of their arrival, both the Whitmans and Marshalls said: "We must have a church near us!" and they, in their zeal, instilled this desire into all newcomers, and plans were made to build a church.
Gave Land
George Whitman, his children, Christian, Andrew, Elizabeth and Catherine, and Peter Marshall, gave the land on which the first church was built in 1836, to Bishop Purcell of Cincinnati. The territory which comprises the present Diocese of Cleveland then belonged in the Cincinnati Diocese. In 1847 Cleveland became an Episcopal See and Doylestown was from then on within its Ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
The first church of the parish, built of logs , 40 feet long, 28 feet wide and 16 feet high, was placed under the patronage of St. Francis Xavior. It was the first church built in Chippewa township and the first Catholic Church in Wayne County. It stood on the hill across the road from the Whitman home on the 80 acres originally belonging to Peter Marshall, who then moved about four miles south to the town of Bristol, which later became known as Marshallville.
After a number of years, he and his family moved to Danville in Knox County and in the years that followed members of the family often visited with their kin in Doylestown, the Stuhlmillers, the Rechs, the Whitmans, and the Deibels. Sometime in the 1850's, the Marshalls once more took up residence in the persons of Joseph and Henry Marshall, grandsons of Peter. Charles Marshall, son of Joseph, was the first priest ordained from the Parish.
St. Francis Xavier Church
First Church in Wayne County - Built 1836
First Resident Pastor
The first resident pastor of the parish was Rev. Basil Shorb, who came here immediately after his ordination, May 20, 1837, by Bishop Purcell. As there was no rectory, he lived in a room in Peter Marshall's home in Marshallville. He walked the distance of four miles from there to the church and back for one year, when a rectory was built near the church.
Father Shorb also attended the Catholic missions at Canal Fulton, Massilion, Wooster, Middlebury (Akron of today), East Liverpool, Randolph, Peru and Shelby settlement. He was beloved by the parishioners and a zealous worker for Christ, and often gave prayer books to the children whom he instructed in their religion. When near her 70th year, Mrs. Catherine Whitman Evey was visited by Father Lindersmith, on her deathbed in 1895, she was still using the prayer book Father Shorb gave her, upon the day of her first Communion.
On June 9, 1840, Bishop Purcell made his first visit to Chippewa, riding from St. Martins, East Liverpool, on horseback, with an escort of six men. That he was quite impressed with what he found was evident, for he praised the congregation for the church they had built and on his return to Cincinnati, he wrote in the "Cincinnati Telegraph": "In no other part of the Diocese have I witnessed more zeal, humility and fervor, than in this sequestered and delightful spot. Surely the Divine mercies are for such people." Bishop Purcell returned to Chippewa in the following year for the dedication of the Church.
From 1847 to 1852 the parish was without a resident pastor. Missionaries stopped on their journeys, said Mass and administered the Sacraments.
From the visit of Father Marshall to 1837 the following missionaries visited Doylestown: Rev. N. C. Young and J. J. Mullon in August 1827; Rev. Thomas H. Martin in 1830; Rev. John Martin Henni, later Archbishop of Milwaukee, 1830-34; Rev. Vincent de Raymacher 1835; Rev. Simon Saenderl, Superior of the Redemptorist order; Rev. O'Bairne and Rev. D. D. Max Hoffman 1836-37.
Build Brick Church
In January 1848, the Rt. Rev. Louis Amadeus Rappe, the first Bishop of the newly established Diocese of Cleveland, visited the parish, which had by then increased to 25 families and out-grown the log church. As the parish had been without a pastor since 1847, he appointed Father August Champion of Wooster to care for it and during this time the second church, a brick structure, was built about a mile from the first church, in Doylestown proper.
Christian, a son of Christian Whitman, purchased land in Doylestown which he gave as the site for the new church. He, his brother Andrew, and Benjamin Kindig, husband of their sister Elizabeth, each donated $500 towards the new structure. This second church of the parish was placed under the patronage of Sts. Peter and Paul and was dedicated on July 8, 1850, by Bishop Rappe. When in 1877 it was torn down to make room for the present one, the inscription in the cornerstone, which was enclosed in a bottle, was found to be so well preserved, and the signature of Bishop Rappe so bold and clear, that the document was again placed in the cornerstone of the new church, with other items.
In June of 1855 Rev. E. Washington John Lindesmith, newly ordained by Bishop Rappe in the just completed Cathedral of St. John in Cleveland, became pastor and remained until 1858. He was again pastor from 1893 to 1901 and it was he who preserved the history of the early days of the parish. He was U. S. Army chaplain in the west during the Indian trouble for 11 years.
During the pastorate of Father Joseph Lais of Navarre, the first parochial school was established in the old rectory, in 1862. It served the parish as a school until 1871 when the increased registration necessitated the building of a new one. This was done by Rev. Joseph Flamang, who was an uncle of Mr. Edward N. Koehler, a member of the parish today, and Henry Koehler of Silver Creek. The present rectory was built by Father Peter Kolopp, pastor from 1866 to 1870.
Build Present Church in 1877
Father Charles Selzer, pastor from 1871 to 1881 and again 1882 to 1893, built the present church, which for 75 years has formed a landmark on Doylestown hill, know to all residents of this part of the state. Bishop Gilmour laid the cornerstone in 1877 and the first mass was sung within its walls on Christmas Day, 1878.
Francis Whitman, father of Fred Whitman, cut five acres of timber and gave it for the baking of the bricks that is in the church. They were baked at the Baysinger Brickyard where the Speicher place is today, south of town on Route 5.
Present Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church
It was Father Selzer who brought in the first teaching sisters, in 1883. They were Sisters Peter, Ursuline and Rose, of the Humility of Mary Order from Villa Marie College, Pennsylvania.
There are still living in the parish today, several pupils of these first teaching Sisters, all in their 80's, who speak affectionately of them and their teaching ability. They are: Mrs. William Stuhlmiller, Mrs. Elizabeth Whitman, Mrs. Emma Nichter, Mrs. Abby Diebel, Mr. Albert Rech and Mr. Charles Whitman.
In those days German language was taught in the school, one morning each week, and many of the older folks of the parish are bi-linguists, capable of reading and writing in German and English; and several of them in French as well.
Friday afternoon was devoted to the teaching of "fancy work" in which every young lady of that period was expected to be accomplished. This included, crocheting, needle work, drawn work, painting and millinery.
New School Built
Rev. A. G. Herman, pastor from 1901-11, built the present school which was dedicated in 1909 by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Koudelka, auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland. Father Herman attended to the congrgation of St. Ann's Church in the "French Settlement" located (since the arrival of French immigrants from Alsace-Lorraine in the 1830's) in section 16 of Milton Township, directly west of Easton on route 604, about two miles west of its intersection with route 94.
Father Herman built the present St. Ann's Church in Rittman, to which the parish then moved. The Catholic Cemetery is still in the old location on route 604. Father John Farrel is at present pastor of St. Ann's Church.
Rev. Fasnacht To Return
On June 12, 1915, the Very Rev. Monsignor Edward A. Fasnacht, who will give the Jubilee sermon on July 4, came to Doylestown on his first pastoral assignment. Monsignor Fasnacht labored unceasingly for the parish and endeared himself to the people by his zeal and earnestness. He enlarged the rectory and landscaped the grounds along with other improvements. Respected and liked by all the people of Doylestown, it was he who gave the patriotic address at the unveiling of the monument in the square of Doylestown in 1921, erected to the memory of the men who fought in the first World War.
Rev. Anthony V. Mechler, currently pastor of St. Boniface's Parish in Cleveland, was in
Doylestown from 1927 to 1933. During this time the parish celebrated its Centenary with the late Bishop Schrembs of Cleveland officiating at the Pontifical Mass.
Father John H. Frey has enjoyed the longest term as pastor, coming here from St. Joseph's in Jefferson in 1933. In 1943 he celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination. He has enlarged the school and installed new heating systems in both the church and school.
Families Remain in Parish
In many parishes of the age of Sts. Peter and Paul, it would be difficult to find more than two or three families whose ancestors were its original organizers. In this parish there is a large group which can make this claim. Some of them are:
Fred Whitman, children and grandchildren; Mrs. Emma Nichter, Misses Cornelia and Esther Whitman; Mrs. N. J. Lieberth, children and grandchildren; Joseph Whitman, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; Mrs. Edward Ganter; Mrs. Thomas Doyle, children and grandchildren; Leo H, Whitman; Mrs. Philip Davis, son and grandchildren; Mrs. Wm. Deibel, children and grandchildren; Mrs. Emmett Petit, children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Oscar Lindeman, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; Augustus Diebel, children and grandchildren; Oliver Deibel; Mrs. Arthur Bowman and daughter; Mrs. George Nichter, son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; Charles Whitman; William Stuhlmiller; Mrs. Frank Deibel, children and grandchildren; Albert Rech, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Some of the other families prominent in the parish in 1895 were: Walsh, Roth, Gardner, Petit, Paul, Paridon, McDermott, Dannemiller, Bidinger, Herwick, Burger, Berger, Burg, Steinmetz, Degenhardt, Shondel, Miner, Henry, Busson, Gallagher, Rupp, Hammer, Werner, Steiner, Anfang, Dietry and Weinsheimer.
With a basis of American, Irish, German and French, the ancestry of the members of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish today emanates from a dozen different nationalities, forming a composite that is truly American; a composite which, on a small scale, exemplifies the ideal "brotherhood of man" sought by the international family of nations today. The parish today numbers more than 200 families.
Parish Organizations
The outstanding organizations of the parish are the Men's Holy Name Society and the Ladies' Altar Society.
John White is president of the Holy Name Society and Nicholas Lieberth is the oldest active member.
Mrs. A. J. Paridon is president of the Altar Society and Mrs. Elizabeth Whitman is the oldest active member.
The oldest member of the parish is Joseph Whitman, aged 86 years.
In the past seven years the St. Francis Xavior Mission group has shipped six tons of clothing and food to the needy people of the war-ridden countries of Europe, as well as financial aid. They have made and supplied several hundred complete layettes for infants of the Catholic missions in India and elsewhere, including our own country. Mrs. Alvin Dannemiller is president of this Mission Circle.
Sts. Peter and Paul School
In September 1906 Father Herman engaged the Sisters of St. Dominic to teach and supervise the school. For more than 50 years the Sisters of this community have zealously labored among the children of Sts. Peter and Paul.
The school children are taught to love their religion, but at no expenses or loss to their academic endeavor. The school is entirely under the government of the Diocesan School Board regulations with their rigorous requirements and Diocesan supervisors. There are at present 162 pupils in the school. The Sister-teachers have all acquired their college degrees and continue to attend summer sessions for higher education in a variety of universities.
The following Sisters teach in the school at the present time: Sister M. Romaine, first and second grades; Sister M. Louis, third and fourth grades; Sister M. Richard, fifth and sixth grades; Sister M. Dolorosa, seventh and eighth grades, and Sister M. Madeline, housekeeper of the convent.
Sons and daughters of the parish who have entered the Priesthood and Religious Orders of the Catholic Church are:
Rev. Charles Marshall, ordained in 1915, was a great-grandson of the pioneer Peter Marshall, and son of a Civil War veteran, Joseph Marshall and his wife Catherine (Reilly) Marshall, and a nephew of Henry Marshall, one time town clerk in Doylestown and recorder in Wooster for a number of years. Father Marshall died in 1947 and rests besides his parents in the church cemetery.
Rev. John Werner, son of the late John Werner and his wife of Cuyahoga Falls, after completing his studies at the Pontifical College Josephinum, Worthington, Ohio, was ordained in May 1951, by Amleto G. Cicogni, Apostolic Delegate at Washington, D.C. He returned to the parish of his birth to sing his first mass and at present is stationed at Newport, Kentucky.
Sisters of the Humility of Mary: Laura Deibel, Sister M. Peter; Sadie Rech, Sister M. Coletta.
Sisters of St. Joseph: Augusta Whitman, Sister M. Jermone.
Sisters of St. Dominic: Mary Paridon, Sister M. Florentine; Bertha Moine, Sister M. Elizabeth; Gertrude Werner, Sister M. Louise; Dolores Werner, Sister Mary Jane; Viola Rech, Sister M. Virginia; Margaret Rabatin, Sister M. Michael, and Rita Werner, Sister M. Loretta.
Holy Cross Order of Brothers; Willis Ott, Brother Raymond, and Eugene Petit, Brother Maximus.
