What can you advise me ?
Thank you in advance.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
"Who's Going to Believe You?" The Underreporting of Sexual Abuse in Immigration Detention
Due to the relatively closed nature of the system, there is very little publicly available data detailing the extent of sexual abuse in immigration detention centers. However, recently uncovered documents reveal nearly 200 official complaints of sexual abuse in detention facilities since 2007. This number is probably just the tip of the iceberg given that sexual abuse is one of the most underreported crimes in the US.
LGBT Detainees at Increased Risk for Abuse and Mistreatment
Several egregious examples of abuse of LGBT detainees, including sexual and physical assault, prolonged isolation, and withholding of medical care, have been documented in two reports this year.
PHR Participates in Civil Society Consultation in Preparation for the US Review before the Committee Against Torture
Hans Hogrefe, PHR's Chief Policy Officer, shared with the State Department detailed information about PHR's work related to its Campaign Against Torture, including the problems facing women in immigration detention, the involvement of medical professionals in interrogations, and the importance of training medical professionals to recognize and document instances of torture and related abuse.
New Immigration Legislation Would Allow for Indefinite Detention
As the US immigration detention web rapidly expands, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) continues to document the existence of numerous problems within the system that harm and sometimes kill detainees.
Limited Rights of Immigrant Detainees Must Be Protected
The majority of immigrants detained by the Department of Homeland Security are not permitted to challenge the legality of their detention.

Collection policy
"… there must come vast social change in the United States; a change not violent, but by the will of the people certain and inexorable; carried out 'with malice toward none but charity for all'; with meticulous justice to the rich and complete sympathy for the poor, the sick and the ignorant; with freedom and democracy for America, and on earth Peace, Good Will toward men."
W.E.B. Du Bois, Chicago, June 29, 1951
In pursuit of our mission, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives collects materials of enduring historical and cultural value relating to four major thematic areas: the history and experience of social change in America; the histories and cultures of New England with an emphasis on Massachusetts; innovation and entrepreneurship; and the broad community associated with the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Our collections are highly integrated and span all formats, including personal papers and organizational records, books and periodicals, maps, photographs, audio and video recordings, and digital materials of all kinds.
While not comprehensive, the following includes a brief synopsis of some of the primary focal points for SCUA's collections:
Echoing the philosophy of W.E.B. Du Bois, SCUA collects original materials that document the histories and experiences of social change in America and the organizational, intellectual, and individual ties that unite disparate struggles for social justice, human dignity, and equality. Our decision to adopt social change as a collecting focus emerged from considering one of Du Bois's great insights: that the most fundamental issues in social justice are so deeply interconnected that no movement — and no solution to social ills — can succeed in isolation. Rather than focus on individual movements, we therefore focus on the connections between and among movements and the flow of people, organizations, and ideas, all in the hope of better representing the true histories of social engagement in America and laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of the experience of social change.
A related feature of SCUA's approach to collecting is our commitment to documenting "whole lives and whole communities." Rather than focus just on a person's "significant" actions or ideas, our goal is to represent the person's entire life in all its complexity: the person's background, the events themselves, and the aftermath, as well as the range of colleagues and organizations engaged. Our goal is not to highlight simply the great achievements and great people, but to reveal the broad underpinnings of influences, interests, and organizations that shaped them and the communities in which they operated.
Emphasizing the cross-fertilization between social movements and centers of activist energy, SCUA collects materials from individuals and organizations involved in the struggles for peace and non-violence, social and racial justice, economic justice, agricultural reform, environmentalism, sustainability, alternative energy, organized labor, gay rights, disability rights, spiritual activism, antinuclear activism, and intentional communities. Our collections branch out to include anti-fluoridation activism, campaigns for voting rights and clean elections, community and charitable organizations, and the history of revolutionary-era Europe (1789-1848).
- African and African American history and culture: The history of race and ethnicity in America, with particular emphasis on the struggle for racial equality and social justice.
- Agriculture, horticulture, botany: Including agricultural science and practice, horticulture, animal husbandry, natural history, organic farming, sustainable living, and heritage breeds.
- Antinuclear movement: SCUA holds numerous collections documenting grassroots opposition to nuclear power and nuclear weaponry.
- Arts management and arts administration:
In partnership with the UMass Amherst Arts Extension Service, the National Endowment for the Arts, Americans for the Arts, and several other arts agencies, SCUA documents the history of arts administration in America. Collecting the records of state and national arts agencies, we will provide a foundation for research into the evolution of arts policy, strategies for supporting the arts, and the economic and cultural impact of the arts on our communities.
- Cold War Culture: The culture of the Cold War, with an emphasis upon East Germany, Poland, and Yugoslavia. Among other areas, SCUA has a strong interest in the Solidarity movement and in partnership with the DEFA Film Library, in East German cinema and graphic arts.
- Disability: Organizational records and collections of personal papers documenting the history of disability and disability rights in the United States.
- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender issues: Materials relating to the history and experience of the LGBTQ community and liberation struggles.
- Labor, work, and industry: Organized labor, industrialization, manufacturing, business history, and the experience and culture of labor and working people.
- Peace: Materials relating to the peace and antiwar movements and non-violence, with an emphasis on New England.
SCUA collects materials that document innovative and entrepreneurial activities and particularly social entrepreneurship. Representative collections in SCUA include the papers of Mark H. McCormack (a pioneer in sport and entertainment marketing), Carl C. Harris (inventor and President of Rodney Hunt Co.), and numerous collections that document our region's distinctive history of innovation in manufacturing and technology.
The social, political, cultural, intellectual, literary, and economic life, with an emphasis upon western New England. The department houses thousands of books on New England cookery, with a particular emphasis on charitable and community cookbooks and cookbooks and ephemera published by corporations and the food industry.
- Cookery and culinary history
SCUA has thousands of cookbooks and other materials on New England regional cuisine, including community and charitable cookbooks, commercial cookbooks by New England authors, corporate cookbooks, and culinary ephemera.
- Literature and the arts
Emphasizing poets and writers, playwrights, and the performing arts in New England.
- Politics and political culture
SCUA has rich collections documenting the history and politics of the Commonwealth, including the papers of Congressmen Silvio O. Conte and John Olver, State Senator Stanley Rosenberg, and State Representative John Clark; and the records of the Hampshire Council of Governments and several individual towns.
Serving as the memory of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University Archives collects, preserves, and makes available official and non-official records documenting the people, policies, programs, facilities, and activities of the campus community, including its administration, departments and programs, faculty, and staff. The Archives avidly collects materials that reflect the lives and experiences of its students and alumni and that reflect our history as one of the Commonwealth's two land grant institutions.
SCUA has developed depth in a handful of other collecting areas, including:
- American Study of Japan and Asia
American relations with Japan from the Meiji period to the present, and connections with China and other Asian countries.
- Protistology
Records of the scholarly study of the protista (protozoans).
Francis, Robert, 1901-1987
Robert Francis Papers, 1891-1988.
Call no.: MS 403
The poet and essayist Robert Francis settled in Amherst, Mass., in 1926, three years after his graduation from Harvard, and created a literary life that stretched for the better part of half a century. An associate of Robert Frost and friend of many other writers, Francis occasionally worked as a teacher or lecturer, including a brief stint on the faculty at Mount Holyoke College, but he sustained himself largely through his writing, living simply in "Fort Juniper," a cottage he built on Market Hill Road in North Amherst. A recipient of the Shelley Award (1939) and the Academy of American Poets award for distinguished poetic achievement (1984), Francis was a poet in residence at both Tufts (1955) and Harvard (1960) Universities. He died in Amherst in July 1987.
The Francis Papers contains both manuscript and printed materials, drafts and finished words, documenting the illustrious career of the poet. Of particular note is Francis's correspondence with other writers, publishing houses, and readers, notably Paul Theroux. Also contains personal photographs and Francis family records and a small number of audio recordings of Francis reading his poetry. Letters from Francis to Regina Codey, 1936-1978, can be found in MS 314 along with two typescript poems by Francis.

William L. Machmer Papers, 1899-1953.
Call no.: RG 006/1 M33
Enjoying one of the longest tenures of any administrator in the history of the University of Massachusetts, William Lawson Machmer served under five presidents across 42 years, helping to guide the university through an economic depression, two world wars, and three name changes. During his years as Dean, Machmer witnessed the growth of the university from fewer than 500 students to almost 3,800, and helped guide its transformation from a small agricultural college into Massachusetts State College (1931) and finally into the University of Massachusetts (1947).
Machmer's papers chronicle the fitful development of the University of Massachusetts from the days of Kenyon Butterfield's innovations of the 1920s through the time of the GI Bill. The collection is particularly strong in documenting the academic experience of students and the changes affecting the various departments and programs at the University, with particular depth for the period during and after the Second World War.

Albertson, Dean
Dean Albertson Papers, 1966-1968.
Call no.: FS 114
A long-time faculty member at UMass Amherst, Dean Albertson was a twentieth century U.S. historian with a specialty in oral history. A veteran of the Second World War, Albertson received his BA from University of California Berkeley (1942) and doctorate from Columbia (1955), joining the Department of History at UMass in 1965 after several years at Brooklyn College. Interested throughout his career in new methods in research and teaching history, he was author of books on Dwight Eisenhower, Claude Wickard (Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture), and the student movements of the 1960s. Albertson died at his home in Longmeadow, Mass., on March 31, 1989, at the age of 68.
The Albertson Papers consist of the records of three summer institutes in history at UMass run during the summer 1966-1968, and funded by the National Defence Education Act (NDEA). Aimed at high school teachers of social sciences and history in western Massachusetts, the institutes were designed to provide in-service training and to expose teachers to newer material and techniques in teaching U.S. history.

Amid rumors of ongoing negotiations between Netanyahu and Herzog on national unity government, Habayit Hayehudi chairman says his party views justice portfolio as key to its agenda.09:39 03.05.16 | 1 comments
Israel is and already has always been defined as a jewish state not a jewish & arab state or a state for everybody living there its a jewish state like it or not. Whilst jews should have this oath apply to them in theory it could not even be applied to them because unlike non jews jews have an automatic right to become Israeli citizens if they want and we can't say no if they refuse to swear the oath. As a non jew has no legal right to become an Israeli citizen and whilst non jews can apply they can be refused so we can say to them swear the oath or we just won't give you citizenship. It does not discriminate against arabs living here because this oath applies only to non Israeli citizens. This oath also does not hurt refugees or any other non jews as they have no right to become Israeli citizens because until they are granted citizenship they have no rights in Israel and anybody who wants to become an Israeli citizen should have no problem being willing to swear loyalty to the country they want citizenship of and recognize its national identity if they can't do that they don't belong. Domestic politics like a loyalty oath has nothing to do with Obama or any other foreigners. It is not connected to the peace process in anyway and considering that the State Department has already said it recognizes Israel as a jewish state and the US has a loyalty oath of its own the US cant condemn this and if they did right wing politicians in Israel would step in and say the US claims to recognize Israel as a jewish state but they object to us demanding potential immigrants swearing loyalty to Israel as a jewish state so how can we trust anything the Obama adminstration says? Obama is involved in the peace process but he cannot butt in on every Israeli domestic issue just because arabs object. Congress is not going to invite a man like Tibi to address them especially not a Republican led Congress. Obama is answerable to Congress nor to Tibi or any other arab.

CLOVERDALE -- The Cloverdale Town Council held its monthly meeting on Tuesday evening, in which it discussed money-saving changes along with insurance needs.
As the year will soon come to an end, Clerk-treasurer Cheryl Galloway, updated the council on several things she has done to save the town money.
Among the changes were changing the trash pick-up at the Town Hall, which is $35. By the utility workers taking the trash to the wastewater plant, the town has saved $1,820 this year.
Galloway also informed the board that she tried getting out of a three-year contract with Cintas, which provides rugs for the Town Hall.
Galloway recently downgraded the package, which was originally $85.90 per month to just the bare minimum at $37.89. This provided an additional savings of $576.12 per year.
Also, earlier this year the council decided to do away with its cleaning service for the Town Hall, which resulted in $2,160 in savings this year.
The council recently decided to raise the insurance rates for some employees. Galloway recently provided the council members with a handout of the new policy. This policy she had separated into the general, water and sewer.
"I had O.W. Krohn approve it to make sure that we were not over budget," explained Galloway. "That came to a savings of $67,824.24, of what would be savings from last year."
The Town Hall has also changed its hours in hopes of saving the town money. The hours will now be 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and will be open only Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
"I think you've done an outstanding job trying to save the town money," said council President Don Sublett. "We thank you."
Galloway also noted that the new billing system has started. It will be saving the town $200 a month.
"By the time you pay for those credit cards, paper, ink and everything you have to do it's easier for you to send the software out and they have bulk mailings. It's a lot cheaper," Galloway said. "Everybody is calling in and saying 'hey I got a delinquent notice in the mail.' It's not a delinquent notice it's the new bill."
The collection agency has also begun working on delinquent bills. Galloway has yet to hear of any results the company had. However, she expects a full report in the coming weeks.
Cathy Tipton also informed the town that the week of Feb. 4 IACT and Hyett Palma will be visiting Cloverdale to continue with the town study.
All council members will be meeting with personnel from Hyett Palma to not only gain a better understanding of the project, but to move things forward.
Following the resignation of Jon Chadd, Charlie Hallam has been appointed to Interim Town Marshal. Hallam came before the board to ask for approval to purchase a set of tires for each car before winter begins.
The price of the tires, for the three Dodge Chargers and the Tahoe, is estimated at $2,000.
"In case something gets in our tires and they say we can't repair it, we at least have a tire to put back on there," explained Hallam. "We go through tires about once a year."
The board made approval for the purchase of four sets of tires.
Following a suggestion from council member Cowetta Patton, Hallam will begin looking into purchasing markings for the Tahoe.
"It was supposed to be marked two years ago," said Dennis Padgett. "I would like you to check into that because I've had complaints and other people have too."
It was suggested by the council that Hallam look into purchasing magnetic markings, which would give the Tahoe better resale value.
The health savings account (HSA) was an issue that was brought up several times throughout the meeting. After a request from town employees to have the town pay into the health savings accounts, the town decided that there was not enough money to do so.
"The advantage of the HSA is that the employee gets to put tax free money into the HSA," said town attorney Allan Yackey. "At this point I don't see anything for the town to put into the HSA."
However, Galloway brought up the idea of giving town employees a raise and that way they could decide if they wanted to put the extra money into the account. The council however did not decide anything on the matter regarding raises.
Also, regarding the new insurance hike the town will now pay $718 for employee only, while the employee will pay $70.85 per month. The town will then pay $1,830.12 for family plan, while the employee will pay $457.54 a month.
Utility Manager Richard Saucerman informed the board that the council will need to approve him for two new testing machines for both the water and wastewater plants.
"The one at the water plant is 12 years old," Saucerman said. "The sewer plant has one that's in worse condition."
By purchasing the two the town will receive a 15 percent discount, at $4,121 per machine. Both machines will come with a warranty.
Funding for the machines will come out of both the water and the wastewater funds.
Saucerman noted that phase two of the wellhead project, which was done nearly 10 years ago, is due.
A non-profit organization Alliance can do the project for $4,000, a $2,000 savings if the town decided to go with another company.
The council also approved Saucerman to purchase new tires for the dump and utility trucks. The state bids that were collected total $1,940.40.
Moving on to old business, the council gave approval to pass Ordinance 2012-9, which adopts the codification.
The town will also move forward with the ADA mapping of the handicap parking and entrance to the town building.
Following all agenda items community members had a time to voice their opinions. One resident of Stardust Hills looked toward Hallam for answers regarding the crime that goes on in his community.
Recently, youth in the Stardust Hills community have begun pointing weapons in windows of people's homes as well as shooting out streetlights, car windows and vandalizing holiday decorations.
"Most of the time in my knowledge of these kids, every time I deal with them they are communicating with someone else," said Hallam. "With two full-time officers we try to do our best. I'm aware of probably most of the people you suspect are doing it. The issue we have of those crimes that have occurred is we have to have proof."
Hallam told community members to call the police any time they see something along with keeping lights on at night.
"It helps us in our patrols," explained Hallam. "When we drive by we can see through some of the roads."
Residents voiced their opinion regarding taking matters into their own hands. However, many noted that due to the vandals being youth, the resident would be a fault. It was recommended that Stardust Hills residents begin trying to catch the vandals by videotaping them, to help assist law enforcement.
The Cloverdale Town Council will be holding a special meeting Friday at 6:30 p.m. There will also be an end of the year meeting on Friday, Dec. 28 at 7 p.m.

Kelly Kraft credits putting for 6-under round
By Randy Jennings
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A hot putter made all the differenceĀfor
Kelly Kraft
in his 6-under 64 on Saturday at Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
The rookie professional moved to 4-under and jumped into a tie for 13
at the completion of his round.
Kraft's total number of made putts in the third round covered a distance of 161 feet. Compare that to 78 feet in Round 1 or 60 feet in Round 2.
He finished with an eagle and four birdies to shoot a tidy 6-under 29 on the front nine, just one stroke off the Colonial record set by
Wayne Levi
in 1993.
"I didn't even realize it was a 29,'' Kraft said after his round. "I guess I was thinking it was a par 36.''
The SMU product played the second nine in even par with two birdies and two bogeys.
"It was a lot of fun,'' said the 23-year-old native of Denton, Texas. "I didn't make any putting changes. I've been hitting good putts. A lot were lipping out the first two rounds. I just kept doing what I was doing.''
Kraft made birdie putts at No. 4 (35 feet), No. 5 (20 feet), No. 6 (3 feet), No. 8 (14 feet), No. 13 (14 feet) and No. 18 (6 feet). But his longest make of the day, 42 feet, was for par at No. 10.

Which Policy Will We Get?Published 10:00pm Thursday, July 3, 2014
To the Editor
I have followed the Board of Commissioners' Economic Development process since its inception, attending all four BOC work sessions, a presentation of the last Policy draft to an outside group, and Monday's Public Hearing.
The "Economic Development Policy" as summarized at the Public Hearing by Consultant Robert Williamson had some important differences from the actual BOC discussions held and decisions made as the policy was being developed. Some examples:
Mr. Williamson said that the plan's highest priorities are to support the county's 2010 Vision Plan and to create jobs within Polk County. However, in the BOC's actual discussion and ranking of priorities during their November fourth work session, the two tying for absolute lowest priority – out of 14 being considered – were these:
• "We are in the midst of one of the most beautiful regions. We want to preserve that. We want to encourage the equine industry, viticulture and wineries, and develop our agricultural heritage," and,
• "More than 50 percent of the employed Polk County residents commute 30-60 miles out of the county/out of state to work."
Further, Mr. Williamson said at the Public Hearing that the new Policy focuses on supporting current industries rather than trying to attract new ones. But in their January thirteenth work session, when he explained the need to greatly increase the Economic Development budget to be consistent with neighboring counties – money he told the BOC must come out from property taxes and sales tax – he recommended that fully 50 percent of that enlarged budget go toward attracting new kinds of businesses rather than growing existing ones; Commissioner Pack said it should be at least 60 percent.
Thirdly, in reaction to the unanimously negative response to the creation of a county Equine Council, Chairman Owens told Public Hearing attendees that such a council was never intended to be an official county Commission appointed by or with connection to the county government. Yet I am looking at an Economic Development Org Chart discussed at the BOC's December 13 work session th at shows an Equine Commission reporting up to the Economic & Tourism Development and Agricultural Economic Development boards, which report to the County Manager, who reports to the BOC. Equine Commission members were indeed to be appointed by the BOC, with four out of five commissioners agreeing to that concept. (Little known fact: I take shorthand.)
Two important questions on all these issues are:
1) Which Policy version is going to be enacted when the BOC approves it as expected? Mr. Williamson's verbal assurances in front of a relatively small group or the facts as documented in black and white?
2) Since the official 2014-15 county budget was approved 4-to-1 by the BOC on June 16 with no increase for Economic Development, what's to stop the majority from designating some "significant increase" and voting 4-to-1 to just take it out of the county's fund balance, as they did with Ryan Whitson's $178,590 severance package? That was asked but not answered at the Public Hearing.
People often accept vague assurances only to find that the devil is in the details – and in this case, the details are very different from what was presented at the Public Hearing. Are the inconsistencies intentional or just the result of a sloppy work process? Either way, Polk County taxpayers deserve a better product for the $21,000 paid.
The next step in this process will be for the BOC to consider approval of this new Policy, which will have to be done at a BOC meeting. If you're interested, your voice can still be heard during citizen comments at that time.
– Judy Heinrich, Collinsville

About Tech 21:
The 1980s were a big decade for the music industry, with the release of the MIDI standard and the development of electronics and effects like nothing ever seen before. Of all those advancements, some of the most well-known, and still sought-after today, came from Tech 21. The tradition they started decades ago is still going strong in the lineup of effects pedals and amplifiers available right here.
We've all heard the expression "if you want it done right, do it yourself." That's a lesson that Tech 21's founder, Andrew Barta, definitely took to heart. Looking for a way to get warm, 'tubey' sounds out of solid-state amps, he designed a revolutionary tube amplifier emulator... but none of the manufacturers he approached were interested in producing it. Barta knew he was on to something, so he founded his own company to make it - and it caught on like wildfire. That tube amp emulator was the beginning of the Tech 21 SansAmp series, and you can still get your hands on an updated version of it today with the SansAmp GT2.
After the success of their first pedal, Tech 21 was ready to keep going. Using the knowledge they'd gained by building the SansAmp line, they got right to work on more designs, such as the Hot-Rod Plexi Analog Distortion and Roto Choir Guitar Effects Pedals. Tech 21 isn't only for guitarists, either: if you're a bassist, you should definitely check out units like the Bass Driver Deluxe, SansAmp Character Series VT Bass DI and Boost Chorus Bass Effects Pedal.

Like with all practical arts, this info is good to know. But a rifle is sort of like a fire extinguisher or a first aid kit; you may never need to use it, but when/if you do, you need to have it immediately. Won't be time for digging it out of the backyard in the middle of night in February during a snowstorm. When things get this bad I'll be burying IEDs instead. Gold coins, documents, ammo, scarce medicines, high $ value, or politically forbidden items, okay. Immediate access isn't as big of a factor with them.

Although vitamin K1 from green leafy vegetables is important to healthy bone, vitamin K2 supplements may have an even more powerful influence in women with existing osteoporosis. A number of clinical trials in Japan have shown that vitamin K2 at high dosages (45 mg daily) can actually increase bone density and reduce hip fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis when used in conjunction with calcium and vitamin D. In fact, the results from one study of 200 elderly female patients receiving either a placebo or 45 mg of vitamin K2 (menatetrenone), 1,000 IU of vitamin D, and 600 mg of calcium showed that bone density increased by 2.3 percent in the treated group and decreased by 5.2 percent in the placebo group. Twenty-two patients in the untreated group sustained fractures (15 had hip fractures), but there were only three fractures (two hip fractures) in the group getting the vitamin therapy. That translates to a reduction of 87 percent in the risk of hip and other fractures in this high-risk group (compared with a placebo group), a reduction significantly better than that achieved with bisphosphonates.

Last week we told you about Bill Sampson, the director of golf at Old Tabby Golf Links near Hilton Head, and the record $42,000 he raised for the Folds of Honor Foundation by playing 202 holes on Patriot Golf Day. Well, he's been outdone by one of his former assistants, at least from a playing standpoint. On Sept. 1st, Brian Stewart, who's now the head pro at Bright's Creek in the North Carolina mountains, played 325 holes in a 24-hour period. Using glow balls and glow sticks, he started at 8pm on Labor Day and didn't stop till the following evening. He made 51 birdies, three eagles, and one hole-in-one. At 1:10am on the 75th hole, Stewart made the third ace of his career, though it's safe to say this is the first one he made at night. Talk about a shot in the dark! Stewart has raised more than $4,500 for the military charity.

Lehmann leads family business into second 100 years
NATCHEZ — Jay Lehmann was 5 years old when he started working in the family business.
"When my father added wholesale groceries to our business, he carried seed potatoes and sardines," Lehmann said. "It was my job to reach down into the sack of potatoes and pull out the spoiled ones, and if one of the cans of sardines exploded, I was the one who had to clean it up. It was the worst job I had in my life, but I made 25 cents an hour so I was in hog heaven at 5 years old."
Sixty-six years after starting out with the rotten potatoes and flung fish juice, Lehmann has long since moved up from mess cleaner to owner, and in January he will usher the family enterprise into its 100th year of business.
Founded in 1914 by Jonas Lehmann Sr. — Jay's grandfather — as Lehmann Brokerage, the business was originally a one-man operation in an office above the Dixon's building at the corner of Main Street and Locust Alley.
The business didn't deal in package goods at the time — very few businesses did — but instead acted as the acquisition agency for wholesale groceries, making bulk orders for things like sugar.
"In that period of time, the people my grandfather sold to were wholesale grocers who were located within a 50-mile radius of Natchez," Lehmann said. "He also sold sugar to bottlers — he sold to Coca-Cola — and coffee to roasters."
The business made its first transition into something new in the mid 1930s, when Lehmann's father — Jonas Lehmann Jr. — took over the company.
While Jonas Jr. maintained the brokerage, he expanded into wholesale grocery. That's where Jay got his young start with the potatoes.
"A broker never warehouses the goods," Lehmann said. "He takes the order from the store and sends it to the manufacturer."
With the expansion into wholesale grocery, the business started offering imported steel items such as nails and barbwire fencing, as well as package goods like canned peaches and corn. Eventually the business was moved to Canal Street.
"Now, if you want nails, you go to a hardware store, but at that time all the wholesale grocers were selling nails, barbwire and steel fencing," Lehmann said.
The third generation of Lehmann ownership — Jay — took over in 1968. The business morphed again, with the expansion into the food service industry, selling No. 10 cans of food to different producers. The business expanded from a 50-mile radius to 200 miles around Natchez.
Ten years after taking the helm, Lehmann purchased the Natchez branch of the Jackson-based wholesale grocer, Russell Company, and took over its location on Canal Street at Franklin Street in what is now the Callon Building.
The same year, he started Lehmann Cash and Carry, which moved to 481 John R. Junkin Drive in 2001 and specializes in large-size retail grocery items. The brokerage business, though smaller, continues from the office there.
The most popular item the cash and carry side of the business sells are, by far, the foam hinged-lid dinner plates, Lehmann said, but anything he places on the shelves will move.
"A lot of times I have cooks come in who are looking to buy things like soup bases, but I could order the oddest things and people would buy them," he said.
"I could order canned cumquats, and I guarantee you within six months they would be sold."
Through the years, the number of employees grew from the single broker in Jonas Lehmann Sr. to eight during the height of the wholesale grocery business down to two, Jay Lehmann and a driver.
But as the man who runs one of the few century-old businesses in town that is still family owned, Lehmann said he is holding tight to the reins.
"It is what I have done all my life, and I don't want to change," he said.

The trip was very nice, but a bit too long.
The guide was very difficult to understand both in German and in English - could be the soundsystem, or his deep tone of voice but it definately would have been a much more interesting trip, if we had got more of the informations as we sail along.
This was a really good trip hut in my opinion just over 3 hours was too long
Very hard to hear the guide.
Enjoyed it in spite of the rainy day and the fact that we were the only couple that showed up for the timing we had booked . There has to be at least 6 people for them to sail.fortunately the next run was half empty so we waited 50 minutes for the next boat tour.. Would do it again!
Great river trip except for the afternoon storm. My advice don't book before you go just rock up so you know what weather is like.
Great cruise.Only fault was the commentary being difficult to hear and you lost interest quickly.
The trip was not three hours as advertised but only 1.5 hours or so. Otherwise fine,
Ok cruise, seen better river tours, the english written commentary was useless as we did not know where in the booklet to start
Reinhilde H USA
THIS WAS A VERY NICE RELAXING TRIP. tHE ON-LINE TICKET WORKED VERY WELL. I WISH THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENGLISH EXPLANATIONS ALSO AFTER THE GERMAN.
Due to a misdirection by a taxi we ended up on the wrong boat for this tour, so i cant really give a review, but im sure this boat would have been better than the one we went on!!!
Fantastic tour and excellent commentary. HOWEVER, we were offered no alternative to the German commentator which meant that some in our group had nothing other than what we translated plus the gorgeous scenery.
By contrast, the bus tour offered various languages which worked for all.
Marty P United States of ...
This started in more of an industrial area, which was a long way from the main part of the city. There were stops where people got off We did that as well. I didn't see anyone getting on at these other stops, but that might have been more conducive to the trip. We would have preferred to get on at the government complex dock and then get off there as well as on the return. The boats were not as modern as many of the others on the river and the English translator lacked knowledge of the language.
Stefan Canada
Nice tour. Leisurely. Unfortunately, if you were interested in information...........as an English speaking person, this is not for you. English 20%, German 80%
This is a waste of time.
María Inés T Argentina
Nice trip, but the guide's explanations were only in German. Neither audioguide nor written info in English was provided or even offered to non German speaking passengers. A bit of cosmopolitanism, please! Regrettable attitude towars tourists.
It was only ok, the walking tour is much better.
Its a nice trip if the weather is nice otherwise you will be cold. There is no commentry in English, all you are given is a little leaflet, so in that respect you are just going for a boat ride. The lady at the landaing was quite rude and did not give any information. The landing stage itself is way out of town. So if you want something a little more easy choose a crusie that has a central landing stage. Once you get off the boat you cannot get back on it. Although, it was nice through the main parts of town (as we know the centre quite well), but the second half is a bit boring. You also need to be aware that the boat does not stop at all the stops shown on the map. If you need to get off early like we did - you have to let them know on the bus. We found it expensive for what you actually got for your money.
David C United Kingdom
It could have been a disaster as on the scheduled day we were due to depart, due to the rain we called ahead to re-arrange for the next day - only to be told the trip had been cancelled by the operators!! Luckily we didn't make the trip to the launch jetty to find out it had been cancelled!! So I recommend you always call ahead! It further started as a big challenge to actually find the launch jetty after departing from the Underground station. There were no signs and even the locals didn't know where the jetty was located! We arrived with a minute to spare as the directions were totally inadequate. The boat trip itself was good, although the guide only spoke in German our fault for not speaking the language requiring us to follow a book with pictures in English. Very confusing. Saying that we did enjoy our trip and saw many great sites in Berlin via the river - although we did dismount at the half way point rather than do the whole trip again in reverse, which probably would have been a waste of time. So certaily could be much better!
Eugene G USA
There are many different cruises you can purchase in Berlin, but this is just about the longest of them all. There were a few nice sights that we would not have seen on the shorter cruises, but the final 1 hour is spend going down a narrow canal with very little to see. We actually got off a stop early, which worked out quite well, since we were right in the heart of the embassies, many of them showed some astounding and impressive architecture. The crew was less than friendly. The server only came by once at the beginning, then he spent the rest of the cruise sitting at a table with his friends. It was raining, so we spent most of the cruise on the lower level, but at one point I tried to go to the top, when I was blocked by the kitchen staff, who were on a smoke break. The would not let me by to the top level, even though it was open and other people were there. I had to wait for their very long break to end for them to clear the stairway so I could go up. I do recommend a river cruise in Berlin, but perhaps not this one.
Kamani G United Kingdom
The biggest downfall was that the commentaries were in GERMAN! This was rather disappointing. Also the location to get on the boat was rather out of the way, and there were other operators that were centrally located with English commentaries.
If you don't understand German, best to avoid this one. The brochure indicates both English and German on the handout but there were just tidbits of English in the first third of the 3 hr tour, then only German for the next 2/3 of the tour. The brochure handed out listed all the sights to be seen, however the sights were not in numerical order! Furthermore, their description on meeting place is the worst ever, giving an address that is blocks away from actual meeting spot. Meeting spot should just say across the street from the palace - on the bank of the River Spree.
Believe me you won't even like it !! Just to cut to the chase.. There are other gigantic boats right behind the Berlin Cathedral (Berlin Dom) and right in front of the DDR museum.. They look doubtlessly better than this one !!
What makes me not to like is that the tour was very long and boring !!
To begin- the instructions give to find the location are not adequate. We were dropped off by cab exactly where the instructions said- and ended up scrambling to find the location which was down another street, across a bridge and not clearly marked even when we found it! Our booking also clearly stated that this was an English tour. The guide only spoke in German. We were offered a book to follow along by ourselves. We ended up leaving the tour half way through because we were not learning anything from the commentary- which is why we booked in the first place. Finally- we ordered three coffees- 10.50 euro!! We left before the tour was half over. We have always had good luck with Viatour- this was not up to expectations
Because there were only 2-3english speaker we were given a booklet to read! Not interesting. Didn't always know where we were.

Philip Short describes Vietnam's relationship to Khmer Rouge at UN tribunal
PHNOM PENH — British historian Philip Short took the stand for the second day at the U.N.-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal Tuesday, as he continued to describe the relationship between Vietnamese communists and their Cambodian counterpart. Short, the 68-year-old author of "Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare," told the court Tuesday that the Vietnamese had an "undeniable" interest in the Khmer Rouge, providing support and training for the communist insurgency in its early days. Short is testifying in the atrocity crimes trial of Khmer Rouge leaders Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan. Much of his testimony on Tuesday was centered around the relationship between the regime and Vietnam, which would eventually become its enemy....

Adapted from a blood and thunder melodrama, Sweeney Todd tells the tale of a barber, a former convict who returns to London from Australia bent on revenge for his unjust transportation, and proceeds slit the throats his customers, who are subsequently baked into pies by his accomplice Mrs Lovett.
The "girls" were at it again.... The members of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Town's Women Guild Dramatic Society decided to present Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol with the usual dysfunctional results.
Joan Stalker Brown obviously had a 'ball' at rehearsals with this odd assortment of characters in the hands of the 5 'well intentioned' members of the Guild.
The talented cast of Laney McLean, Linda Simister, Sonia Wagstaff, Tony Hall and Steve Silansky between them, tackled 24 characters.
I well remember the impressive Dido and Aeneas by the forerunner of Yarra Opera, so I was looking forward to this foray into Puccini. I was only partly satisfied.
The orchestra of less than twenty did very well. This particularly applied to the brass and woodwinds. There were a couple of keyboards to fill in for missing instruments and everything was quite tight until a couple of loose moments in Act 3.
This Othello successfully drags Shakespeare kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
The main action unfolds against a background of desert warfare, Victoria Lamb's set and costume design chillingly evocative of battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. The prevailing atmosphere of bleak desolation is enhanced by the nuanced mood-lighting of Geoff Cobham and the pounding force of Jason Sweeney's techno-infused score.
In his programme notes, Director Dexter Bourke says, "Theatre is much more than a reflection of life, for me it is life itself, allowing ourselves to be more of ourselves than we would normally be." It is with this understanding that he gives us a wonderful, funny and poignant production with a stellar cast who have a combined total of more than 350 years (by my calculations) of life experience, which they share lovingly with the audience.
The Adelaide Repertory Theatre has chosen a 'cracker' of a comedy to finish the year off. Directing this British farce is veteran performer and award winning director Ian Rigney. Farce can be a challenge to direct as pace and timing are vital to the flow of the plot, but Rigney's wealth of experience shows as this play rockets along from one side splitting gag to another.
Ben Elton's Gasp! is a funny, satiric, non-PC laugh-fest.
Mining conglomerate Lockheart Industries are running out of things to rip out of the ground and come up with the idea to market 'designer air.' In an age where 'designer water' is marketed worldwide, it's not such a stretch to imagine a scenario in the future where will have to pay to breathe.
The original production of Outward Bound was the hit of the 1923 London theatre season, produced by author Sutton Vane, after producers shied away from its unusual subject matter.
It is an interesting concept. Initially, the story is ostensibly about seven passengers at sea, but we realise that they are aboard the SS Eternity and they are in fact bound for Heaven…or Hell.
Fabulous? It's SUPA—of course it's fabulous! Leave your cynicism at home and enjoy this hilarious, high camp, unabashedly sentimental story of love and comeuppance. La Cage aux Folles is a glitzy musical that shines with the over-the-top SUPA formula of live music, great performances, gorgeous costumes and an innovative light show. The script is a furiously witty celebration of a certain gay culture and lifestyle, and the songs are gorgeous.SUPA's interpretation is slick, professional, side-splitting and heart-warming.
Sydney Independent Theatre Company has chosen a fitting program for its finale at the Old Fitzroy Theatre at Woolloomooloo – the revival of two short plays, both about unusual people, and both set in the colourful and historical precinct that SITCO has called home for over 30 of its productions.
