[Special Note: I have entered into the findagrave records many memorials of former acquaintances, childhood friends, etc., and strangers. I would be happy to alter or remove any of these entries if requested to do so by anyone who is or was closer to the deceased than I, and/or is willing to update, expand, or correct these memorials, or otherwise improve the entry.]
Bio. Info.:
Since my retirement in 1999 at the age of sixty nine, I have been increasingly pursuing an interest in geneology. I am fascinated by geneology and the lives of our predecessors. Their stories show much tribulation, and great courage and strength. I hope to honor them by narrating their true stories as well as I can, and including some of the 'not so good' events as well as the good. I believe that all family stories are quite interesting and important when told in all detail and truthfulness.
In general, I believe our ancesters led much more difficult and much less pleasant lives than we. I find this humbling. Indeed, quite possibly their successes may be a greater accomplishment than our present day ones.
It shocks me, how extreme our advancement in modernity is when compared to the way of life of only one or two hundred years ago. Comparatively, the pleasantness and ease of our lives is astounding.
{NOTE: I have changed my email address as of April 19, 2007, due to difficulties with my former address.}

The Grave of Jack Henry Johnson, Jr.
Dear Mr. Scott: On Ancestry.com I saw a link to your photo of my former husband's grave in Erie Cemetery, Erie, PA. Your write up of the cemetery is wonderful. Just of note--besides my former husband (Jack Henry Johnson) buried there is also: John Ross Rhodes, my brother, Milan John Rhodes, my father, Edmund Ross Rhodes-my grandfather, Rhea Pound Rhodes--my grandmother, Eugene Rhodes, my Uncle. When I was a child I lived only 3 blocks from this cemetery and my family visited the graves of my father and Uncle very often. Because I lost my father at age 8 (Milan John Rhodes) and because I lived so near the cemetery, I would often walk over there and sit beside my father's grave. BUT other things I loved to do there was spend time in their really lovely, well-kept rose gardens, read the tombstones, and walk the winding paths within this very large cemetery. The mausoleums there are also beautiful. One message I read on a tombstone there said the man's name and then "who died while rescuing his son from drowning." I was deeply touched by that gravestone. Anyway, you are correct that this is a wonderful cemetery. I now live in California and it has been many years since I visited it, but my memory of it is still quite strong and wonderful.

Thank you for the pics of my grandfather's grave
I cannot express how deeply it touched my heart to see the pics you took of my grandfather's grave. I live in Oregon and cannot afford to visit his grave site in Pennsylvania.

John Martin Gutekunst
I just noticed your memorial for JM Gutekunst. How are you related or for whom did you make this for. I have been looking for relatives. John Martin Gutekunst is my 2nd Great Grand Father. I come from his son John who had a son Norman William Gutekunst. I have obituary's for Mary his wife. I guess you have noticed that on the census info it shows his wife as Anna. In Germany Anna is her her formal name but she went by Mary. She is buried in Trinity cemetery in Erie. Have found not one to take a picture of her headstone.

P.S. Norman changed name to Goody

Hi Bill,
I notice that there are 18 photo requests for this cemetery. It looked to me as if you had photographed all the legible stones in the cemetery and placed them on Find A Grave.
If that is the case - I was hoping you could mention that in the 'report a problem' link on those photo requests. That would prevent someone from going out, getting permission, and searching for a grave that doesn't have a stone - or isn't legible enough to photograph.
Thanks, Joyce.

Hi Bill,
The last name for Solomon, as well as many of his ancestors and descendants has many variations. He is in the census as Truman, Truerman, Tremain, Trumain and probably some I forgot. His wife Lodema's grave is also spelled Trumain. Most later references refer to him as Truman though. Anyway, I don't know if that helps any...it's not any "proof"...but I'm convinced it's the same person. So, thanks again!

"....When I started off in college, I did not have a direction of what I wanted to do with my education or life. Luckily I took an introduction to astronomy class at my community college, and taking this class allowed me to know what I wanted to do. The next semester I decided to give physics a shot and I fell in love with the science almost immediately. Since then I have been going through college to learn more about physics."
"Since attending San Francisco State University I have had the opportunity to work in the Thin Film Lab with Dr. Neuhauser and learn the process of how microchips are made as well as how she uses them in her research. I have also had the pleasure of being a part of the Physics and Astronomy Club (PAC) which helps me fuel my desire to learn more. PAC is one of the most helpful tools an aspiring physicist can have at SFSU....This first year at SFSU has been an amazing experience and continues to fuel my interest in physics. I now know that after I graduate from SFSU that I hope to go on to receive a Masters in Physics."
"I am honored to be able to receive a scholarship that will help me on my way to learning more about what I love by helping me pay for my last year at San Francisco State University."

MANVILLE -- Authorities arrested three borough residents and seized about $2,340 worth of marijuana yesterday,(THURSDAY) the result of a four-month long investigation, officials said.
Michael Gentile, 28, and Kevin Hahn, 20, both of Kennedy Boulevard, and Amanda Marcincavage 19, of Raritan Avenue, were charged with third-degree possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute, Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said. The men also were charged with a disorderly person's offense for possessing drug paraphernalia.
After the investigation by the prosecutor's Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force and Manville police, authorities obtained a search warrant for Gentile's residence and to search Gentile and Hahn, Forrest said.
At about 5 p.m. Thursday, investigators set up surveillance on Kennedy Boulevard and saw Marcincavage pull up in front of Gentile's house, Forrest said. The man got into the vehicle, and the pair left. Upon their return, task force members approached the car and found a plastic grocery bag containing about 87 grams of marijuana on the floor, Forrest said.
More task force members and the Manville K-9 unit searched Gentile's dwelling and found Hahn on the front porch and about 30 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside the house, authorities said. Gentile and Hahn were lodged in the county jail with bail to be set, and Marcincavage was released on her own recognizance.

In the late 1600s and early 1700s, Italian violin maker Antonio Stradivari created instruments that are considered the finest ever made.
Of the 1,100 violins that Stradivari is believed to have crafted during his lifetime, only 650 are known to remain.
One of these extraordinary instruments will be heard on Maui when Elizabeth Pitcairn debuts the world famous Red Violin at a special event at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea on Dec. 7.
Article Photos
Elizabeth Pitcairn will share her famed "Red Mendelssohn" Stradivarius with Maui audiences
Krishna Das will present an evening of sacred kirtan chant on Sunday at Makawao Union Church.
Ozomatli will rock the MACC's Pavillion/Courtyard on Friday.
So what's it like playing one of the greatest instruments in the world?
"It's like if God gave you the voice of Pavarotti," says the celebrated violin virtuoso. "It's a great privilege and joy to bring this to people. They're revered because they have complete personalities that encompass the whole range of what you would want and need in a violin to be a solo artist. They have an extreme beauty of sound that is quite extraordinary."
The inspiration for the Academy Award-winning movie "The Red Violin," Pitcairn's instrument was made in 1720.
Shortly after, the Stradivarius disappeared for 200 years. Its path is shrouded in mystery, but it eventually surfaced in 1930s Berlin, where it was purchased by an heir to the great composer, Felix Mendelssohn. In 1990, it was auctioned and anonymously purchased for $1.7 million.
Though only revealed years later, it had been bought by Pitcairn's grandfather and given on Thanksgiving Day to the then 16-year old high school student.
A week before the auction, Pitcairn was taken out of school and flown to London to check out the violin.
"I was given special permission and got to play it for about 20 minutes," she recalls. "I didn't care that many people were milling about and I just started playing it and went into my own world."
She remained silent about owning the violin until her burgeoning solo career brought her into the public eye.
"I wasn't allowed to have the violin for a year, because I went off to USC and my mother didn't think a freshman dorm was a safe place for it," Pitcairn continues. "My career continued to blossom and develop, but it was top secret where the violin had gone. It was only through playing the music for the ("Red Violin") film score that anyone made the connection. Pandemonium broke lose. I was playing a concert in Florida at the time and it spread across the whole state. People drove for hours and it was standing room only. It was just amazing when people found out."
Since she obtained the Red Violin, the price of Stradivari has skyrocketed. In June 2011, the "Lady Blunt Stradivarius" violin made in 1721 sold for a record $15.9 million.
A renowned soloist who has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York String Orchestra, Pitcairn was recently named the artistic director of the Luzerne Chamber Music Festival.
For her recital at the Four Seasons, Pitcairn will perform one of the most challenging violin works ever composed - Paganini's "Perpetual Motion."
"I'm playing some really cool pieces," she explains. "Paganini's 'Perpetual Motion' is rarely played. It took me three years to learn it. It has three thousand notes over four minutes without stopping, at an incredibly high rate of speed. Many people don't even go there. I will also play the famous 'Hungarian Dance' by Brahms, and the 'Theme from Schindler's List' and a couple of other surprises."
Playing such an extraordinary instrument that was crafted almost 300 years ago, Pitcairn sometimes muses, "I wonder who has had it, where it's been, what it has seen, what it knows. It feels magical. In the moment I go to another place. You almost have an out of body experience, you let go and become a conduit."
* Pitcairn will perform at the "Red Violin Opus One Wine Event" on Dec. 7 at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. Cost is $795 per person, which includes an oceanview room, the concert and a paired wine dinner created by the resort's Master Executive Chef Roger Stettler.
Ozomatli recently released a new album brimming with their typical intoxicating mash-up of hip hop, salsa, funk and rock. But this time around, their subject matter is a little different. Instead of rallying calls against oppression and injustice, they've turned their rhyming skills to topics like germs and spelling and the importance of exercise.
"Ozomatli Presents Ozokidz" is their first recording aimed at children and it's probably the most funky, exciting kids' music ever created, which will likely have parents unable to resist joining in on the chorus to "Moose on the Loose."
"Everyone loves that song," enthuses Ozomatli's sax player Ulises Bella. "We've always had a good history of playing for kids. They have always reacted really positively to our music. We were playing in Chicago one night and we noticed ticket sales were down, so we sent a message out to our fans and a lot of them were like, 'we can't get a sitter,' and our drummer said, 'we've got to do a kids' record.' So we ended up sitting down and thinking of concepts."
Long known for their exuberant fusion of styles, the band's irrepressible rhythms are applied here to an even wider context. The "Sun and Moon" slips into almost Depeche Mode territory, while if The Clash had ever sung about the joys of skateboarding it might have sounded like the jubilant rocker "Skateboard."
"That was a cool thing about the kids' record, we didn't have to stay in any kind of stylistic thing as far as what Ozo usually sounds like," says Bella.
Adopting their name from the Aztec god of dance, Ozomatli were formed in Los Angeles in 1995. An electrifying live act, in the last few years this Grammy-winning band has won over audiences across the globe as cultural ambassadors, sponsored by the U.S. State Department. These government-sponsored tours have taken them to Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East.
In Nepal in 2007, the band's trip was part of a celebration of the country's newly ratified peace accord. Their historic, free concert in Katmandu, which was broadcast live on national television, drew around 15,000 people. Then in 2010, they traveled to China and Mongolia.
"We went to the earthquake region (in Dujiangyan, China) to play at schools and interact with the people," he explains. "And in Mongolia, we were only the second band to play where we played (in Ulaanbaatar). We played in this huge square and it was amazing. It's a trip because people probably have their own idea what an American band looks like and I don't think we're it."
All the musicians have been profoundly impacted by their travels. "Music and culture brings us together," he continues. "There's no talk about what's up with your government or religion. All that b.s. is out the door. We end up jamming with local musicians and that's where the aspect of music as a universal language really resonates. It's really inspiring."
In concert this multi-cultural band creates such a spirit of joyous celebration that their shows often evoke ecstatic reviews. "If you've ever attended an Ozomatli concert, you know it's sort of like being swept up in a Disneyland parade for adults," noted a recent Los Angeles Times review. And a B.B.C. review concluded, "there's no other group that can mix lyrical defiance, global dance beats, hip-hop attitude and pop hooks so convincingly and explosively."
"When we're playing we get an immediate emotional response," says Bella. "I enjoy seeing how what we do on stage immediately makes people react. Obviously some shows are better than others, but it's like the saying 'Even a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.' "
* Ozomatli perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Pavillion/Courtyard. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 on show day, and $55 for VIP on the Morgado Lanai (plus applicable fees). Call 242-7469 or visit www.mauiarts.org.
The Maui Pops Orchestra kicks off the Christmas season with a "Holiday Pops" concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday at the MACC's Castle Theater.
This annual festive event will feature Iggy Jang, concertmaster of the Hawaii Symphony, performing movements from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons." Local vocalists joining the orchestra on holiday favorites will include Erin Smith, Lily Meola, Felicity Raugust, Jimmy Mac, Jerry Eiting, Jamie Lawrence and Alexis and Steven Dascoulias.
Tickets are $10, $25, $35 and $45 (plus applicable fees). A portion of ticket sales will buy gifts for clients of the Friends of the Children's Justice Center.
Finally, Krishna Das will present an evening of sacred kirtan chant at 7 p.m. on Sunday at Makawao Union Church. He will be joined by Nina Rao on vocals and cymbals, Arjun Bruggeman on tabla and Genevieve Walker on violin.
Nina Rao has just released a new double CD "Antarayaami: Knower of All Hearts," which includes Krishna Das on backing vocals.
One of the foremost devotional singers in the world, he will also present his first public workshop, "Heart of Devotion," on Maui at 7 p.m. on Monday at Makawao Union Church.
* Tickets for the concert and workshop are $25 in advance or $35 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at Monsoon India restaurant in Kihei and Maui Kombucha in Haiku.

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
While he was also under investigation for corruption in September 2008, Chen alleged that Lee had imported more than US$18 million (NT$545 million) and shortly later wired US$50 million (US$1.5 billion) back out of Taiwan.
According to the conclusions of the SID investigation, the allegations were based on a mistake made by the then-chief of the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau, Yeh Sheng-mao. He apparently mistakenly believed that the account belonged to Lee and had reported it as such to Chen.
The two people actually in charge of the funds, two former military police officers who later worked as bodyguards for a financier, said they did not know Lee and had not let him use the accounts.
The SID decided Wednesday that there was no case against the former president and therefore dropped the matter without filing charges.
Lee is still involved in another court case surrounding corruption allegations. The Taipei District Court ruled on November 15 that he had not diverted US$7.79 million (NT$250 million) in national security funds in order to buy offices for his Taiwan Research Institute in Tamshui, New Taipei City. A former close associate, Liu Tai-ying, was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison.
The SID filed an appeal against LeeŌĆÖs not-guilty verdict, and the case continued at the High Court last month. The 90-year-old former president said he had never pocketed any money but only wanted to do what was good for the nation. He condemned the SID for fishing up old cases in order to prosecute him.

By David Cluff, Superintendent, Lone Rock School
Dear Lone Rock / Three Mile Residents,
Last winter Lone Rock School sponsored a series of Town Hall Meetings and gathered community members together to get their input on the school, the community and the direction the school and community should take. During these meetings a surprise topic of public interest showed up: people were curious about whether building a gym or community center was possible. As it turned out the bonds that the community has been paying for the elementary school will be paid in full at the end of June, 2012. This could mean that without any new taxes a gym or community center could be built by renewing the bonds that are being paid off.
The School Board and others are cautiously excited by this potential opportunity. To further explore the idea of a gym or community center being built they have organized a facilities committee. The School Board would like you to be part of this committee. If you cannot be part of the committee, the Board would appreciate any opinions, information or ideas that you have about building a functional new building for the school and the community. The initial facilities committee meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 7th at the school, and since we are hoping for a large turnout we will be having the meeting in the gym.
We look forward to seeing you, and better yet, we look forward to hearing from you at the meeting on Wednesday.

GOLD CANYON, Ariz. - Following his 15th professional victory Saturday night, Jake Giuriceo got some well-deserved rest and relaxation at his manager's Gold Canyon retreat in Arizona.
Giuriceo showcased for Thompson Promotions in Orange, Calif. against Mexican journeyman Jamie Orrantia. Orrantia has generally been held as good barometer for promising fighters. If that is indeed the case, Giuriceo passed Saturday night's test with flying colors.
The Universal Boxing Organization's All-American Lightweight Champion earned a unanimous decision 60-54 on all three judges' cards.
"Everything went good," Giuriceo said. "I came out aggressive. He was a hard guy to hit. He was awkward but he knew how to use the ring."
Giuriceo (15-0-1, 3 KO) said Orrantia (26-25-5, 9 KO) moved backwards quite a bit in the fight so he had to be the aggressor. It's something he's quite accustomed to.
"He was basically on defense the whole time,"Giuriceo said. "That's how it ended up. I was doing all the work which is why I got the decision from all three judges."
According to Giuriceo, Thompson Promotions contacted his manager Joe Corvino (owner of PHD Manufacturing in Columbiana) after the fight.
"They were impressed and happy with the outcome," Giuriceo said. "They were happy with the win and said I handled myself great, but they expected me to do more with the opponent. I don't know exactly what they're talking about, maybe they expected me to knock the guy out. But they said they would be in touch."
Even if nothing comes of the trip west, Giuriceo knows a win is still a win, and in the professional boxing ranks, he'll take it every single day of the week.
"I was a little overanxious," Giuriceo said of trying to perform for the promoter. "I wanted to be aggressive and impressive, so I wasted a lot of punches to a degree. But it's a learning experience and something we can work on."
Giuriceo is set to marry Campbell native Jaclyn Mazias May 20, but it's looking like he'll fight again prior to his wedding once again on a Mahoning Valley card.
Southside Boxing owner and trainer Jack Loew is putting together a fight for April 27 as has offered Giuriceo a spot on the bill.
He'd like nothing more than to keep adding to the win column, but admits he didn't think he'd reach 15 wins quite this quickly.
"I though it would take a little bit longer honestly," he said. "I just thank the Lord for keeping me healthy and safe. I've been very fortunate and blessed to not have one time where a fight has completely fallen through."

Hawaii seed industry spending down
HONOLULU - Recent estimates show that spending by the seed research and development industry went down over the last two years but it remains Hawaii's top crop.
Estimates by the National Agricultural Statistics Service show a 10 percent drop in spending by seed companies during the 2012-13 season. In the season that ended in June, the value of seed company spending statewide was at $213 million. In the 2011-12 season, that figure was at $238 million.
The drop was the second consecutive annual reduction after a less than 1 percent dip from the 2010-11 season record of $239 million - the seed industry's first decline in more than two decades, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Monday.
The seed industry, which in Hawaii involves experimenting with plant traits for mass reproduction on the mainland, has attracted criticism as the debate over genetically modified organisms continues to intensify. Many in the agricultural industry support seed research because it can enhance crop viability.
Because seed companies don't sell the seeds they produce in Hawaii, the Statistics Service uses the cost of production to represent industry value.

PSU's Gyasi Cline-Heard Busted by Feds
February 27th, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
The hits just keep coming for Penn State athletics.
In the wake of the massive alleged sex scandal involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, former Nittany Lion basketball player Gyasi Cline-Heard has been arrested in Florida on charges that he was the leader of a drug and gun ring.
Undercover officers bought cocaine off Cline-Heard before raiding his house and tattoo parlor, in which four dozen guns were found, including machine guns and assault rifles.
"That's something you would see in a spy movie," Lt. Chuck Balderstone of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said at a news conference.
Prior to the bust, the former Penn State star was living near Tampa in Trinity, FL, and owned a tattoo parlor named Legacy Tattoo. The son of the NBA's Gar Heard and a leader of Penn State's 2001 Sweet Sixteen squad, Cline-Heard last played basketball professionally in South Korea during the 2010-11 season.
It looks like the only basketball he'll be playing now will be in the prison courtyard.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Cake Decorating
|Fondant, Buttercream, Gum Paste
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: I made the pot out of a tiffin tin, I cut the end off and placed it on a disc of the same size. I then layered with buttercream and fondant, then cut the middle out of the cake and sprinkled chocolate cake crumbs onto the top as dirt. I mixed some red food powder into the crumbs to give the dirt a more earthy look (I didn't have any dark brown). I made the flowers from gumpaste as shown in the class, I dusted the stems with brown and green to make them look a bit more realistic and woody.
I was so pleased with this cake because for once it came out the way I saw in my head. I was also pleased because the cake just sat there and no one knew it was a cake until I revealed it. I made this for my aunty and now she keeps the flowers in a vase.

At a time when middle-class families are struggling to make ends meet, the cost of higher education has skyrocketed, making college unaffordable for too many families. Across our state, Michigan students are graduating with mountains of student loan debt — more than $25,000 per student on average — and high school graduates are being priced out of an opportunity to go to college.
Having two children who graduated from Michigan universities (as well as getting my degrees in Michigan), I understand the full costs of a higher education — not only tuition, but room and board, books and other costs. We need to be making it easier, not harder, for students to achieve a college education which greatly improves their chances of getting a good-paying job.
If Congress doesn't act soon, Stafford student loan interest rates will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent in July, increasing the cost of earning a degree for more than 300,000 Michigan borrowers. A few years ago, we cut student loans interest rates to 3.4 percent, and now we must do everything we can to make sure they are maintained for student borrowers. The last thing Congress should do is pile even more costs on Michigan students and their families.
Instead, we need to come together and pass common-sense legislation that I am co-sponsoring to keep the current interest rates. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans recently blocked my legislation, which doesn't add a dime to the deficit, from even coming to a vote. Allowing these rates to double would force the average student to pay off an additional $1,000 in debt per loan. That just isn't right.
Education is the road to opportunity in this country, and Michigan is home to world-renowned universities that are conducting cutting edge, high-tech research to help transform our economy. Our schools serve to open doors and create opportunities for thousands of graduates each year.
As we evaluate how to stretch every dollar, we need to make sure every Michigan student has access to a high-quality college education. By making current initiatives more efficient it's possible to help more students without breaking the bank.
A few years ago, we reformed the student loan program and expanded college access for Michigan students and families. These reforms made lending initiatives more efficient, reducing fees that the government paid banks for student loans while also reducing the deficit. We also increased the maximum Pell Grant to $5,550, and last year, 337,000 Michigan students were able to go to college with the help of Pell grants. And thanks to these reforms, an additional 20,000 Michigan students qualified for college financial aid this year.
We need an economy in Michigan that is based on advanced technology and innovative ideas. The only way we succeed in the new economy is by continuing to make education a priority.
Stopping student loan interest rates from doubling this summer is a good place to start. Congress needs to come together and get this done.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow is chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee and a member of the Senate Energy, Finance, and Budget committees.

Udayan Care
Rating: 4.59 stars 328 328 reviews
16/97A, 1st floor, Vikram Vihar Lajpat Nagar IV New Delhi 110024 India
A nurturing home for every orphaned child, an opportunity for higher education for every girl and for every adult, the dignity of self-reliance and the desire to give back to society.
Since inception, with the help of many passionate people like you we were able to impact and empower: 291 children in 13 Udayan Ghars across delhi, NCR, Kurukshetra and Jaipur 2678 Shalinis through Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme 8455 women, children and youth through Udayan Care Information Technology and Vocational Training Centers 80 children and 67 families through our Udayan Outreach Programme Also till date we were successfully able to make 39 pairs of Big Friends with Little Friends INTERNING/VOLUNTEERING: WHAT IS IT ABOUT? As an intern, you will have the chance to apply what you have studied by working at the office, having an impact on the structure of the NGO. Psychology, economics, statistics, IT, languages…no matter what is your background, your skills will be needed! As a volunteer you will spend your time with the kids (for international volunteers, criminal background check by your local police is compulsory!), organizing activities, teaching them languages or other subjects, helping them with homeworks or simply just being there for them and enjoy time together by playing or going to the park… Of course you can do both, half of the day at the office and half of the day in a Ghar. You will discuss and decide your specific tasks with your supervisor once arrived, as the situation is constantly evolving and different needs may arise therefore no pre defined job description can be shared. Both you have to get accustomed to the new situation and the staff needs to know you before matching your interests and capabilities to the needs of the kids and Organisation. Keep in mind the differences between India and your home country. All of the international volunteer/interns feel disoriented and often incur into difficulties at the beginning but you will find in Udayan Care all of the support you need. Cultural activities, daily life advices, a lovely staff, the full availability of your supervisor, all of the other volunteers will help you cope with the cultural shock and in a couple of days you will enjoy your experience at best. There are always many interns and volunteers working with us, coming from all over the Globe to share the same experience: France, Japan, Ghana, Italy, Germany, USA, Egypt... The cultural variety will further enhance your staying and you will have many occasions to hang out together. Other opportunities will be about sharing your passions by giving workshops, receiving help for organizing your travels through India, having traditions, Hindi and cooking lessons, international days, receiving support to find the best accommodation according to your requirements… Your volunteering experience will be complete by offering you a chance both to give back and grow in individual capacity. By the end of it, you will probably have friends from all parts of the worlds and know itsy bitsy of all the languages.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
With a Vision "To Regenerate the Rhythm of Life of the Disadvantaged", presently there are 188 children across 13 Udayan Ghars, 608 new Shalinis were inducted in the Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme who will live their dream of higher education and 896 women, children and youth were provided with vocational training through our Udayan Care IT&VT Centers.Udayan Care is a Public Charitable Trust, working for the last 19 years, for the quality care of disadvantaged children and women.Appalled by the stark reality of 31 million orphans in India and shocked by the condition of institutions housing them, a few like- minded individuals got together to take serious action. This obsession was the seed which sprouted as Udayan Ghars in 1996 - long term residential homes for orphaned and abandoned children.While our first initiative was the Udayan Ghar programme for orphaned and abandoned children, we gradually worked towards ensuring higher education for girls through the Udayan Shalini Fellowship. In 2004. Udayan Care also initiated an Outreach programme for children affected by HIV, as well the Udayan Information and Technology Centres to improve employability of underserved communities.
Geographic areas served:
Delhi, U.P, Haryana, Pujnab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and West Bengal
Our various innovative Programmes are: 1. Udayan Ghars: long term Residential homes for orphaned or abandoned children who are are nurtured in a simulated family environment from the age of 6-18 years. Through a strategy called L.I.F.E- Living In Family Environment - this 'Group Foster Care' model ensures children are loved and cared for by a group of Mentor Parents-socially committed individuals (volunteers) who groom the children with a team of social workers, care givers and supervisors. 2. Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme - USF Through monetary and mentoring, this programme supports girls from weaker sections of society to continue higher education. Today, we are proud that our girls, whom we call Shalinis, are pursuing fields like Engineering, Medical, CA, Computer Sc, among others. To make them socially aware as well as socially responsible, they have to fulfill 50 hours of mandatory social work. This Programme is currently on in Delhi, Kurukshetra, Aurangabad, Dehradun, Kolkata, Gurgaon, Haridwar and Phagwara. 3. Udayan Care Information Technology and Vocational Training Centres Udayan Care IT&VT Centres enable underserved youth and adults to develop IT and vocational skills to improve employability and livelihood opportunities. At present, we run seven Computer and Vocational Training Centres where we focus on bridging the digital divide and impart business skills to increase the employability of the beneficiaries we work with. 4. Udayan Outreach Programme Through Outreach, we support the educational and nutritional needs of children of HIV+ parents, who are in financial difficulties because of the debilitating illness. Our interventions are at the family and community level. Our counselors counsel children and parents to understand and cope with the illness. Outreach forges hope and inclusion by reducing stigma and adding resources and belief in a successful future. Since inception, we have worked with 80 children and 67 families. We are currently working with each of our Udayan Outreach families to prepare the necessary documentation for them to get their entitlements under the available government schemes and become independent and self reliant. 5. Advocacy Udayan Care also engages in research on the care of disadvantaged children. Through organizing conferences, participating in NGO networks, developing policy recommendations, we ensure the protection of child rights. We played a leadership role in setting up "Justice for Children: A Policy-Thought Network" an association of NGOs and government members for protection and advocacy of child rights. 6. Volunteer & Internship Programme By encouraging and motivating civil society to participate voluntarily in our Programmes, we enable them to actively advocate for child rights and serve society in a sustained manner. Udayan Care's Internship Programme provides a great opportunity for students to learn and gain on-the-job exposure to the not for profit sector. The objective of the Programme is to provide students with intense, practical opportunities to learn and experience the constituents of the non-profit sector, as well as contribute in their areas of interest. 7. Big Friend Little Friend Programme The Big Friend Little Friend Programme focuses on the emotional needs of adolescents between the ages of 12-17 years in the urban context. It is a unique initiative born out of our belief that adolescents in the age group of 12-17 years from underprivileged communities need emotional support and companionship. It is a medium which connects volunteers (Big Friends) with children from underprivileged backgrounds (Little Friends)." Since inception, in a short span, we have seen 39 pairs of Big Friends with Little Friends being formed and are looking for many more such pairings this year.

Reviews for Udayan Care
Udayan Care gives you the possibility to work in a very well organized and structured NGO. I had the chance to add something to my professional experience through the office work with a little project related to my studies and to add something to my personal experience through the work with children. Udayan Care's staff is ready to listen to your aspirations and to use your capabilities for their and your improvement. It was a very good experience, including the nice relationship between colleagues and other volunteers, with whom you could share values and vision of life because we all decided to dedicate some of our time to disadvantaged people.
Working with Udayan Care in the home was one of the most amazing experience that I was so lucky to have in India. The children there are so lovely and some are really talented. Moreover, the coordinators and workers of Udayan Care were so helpful, which made it was easier for me to do my work properly. Thank you for this experience, thank you for everything.
Volunteering with Udayan Care this summer of 2015 was a life changing experience for me and I learnt so much from this experience as well. The atmosphere of Udayan Ghar for Boys Mayur Vihar Phase 1 was so friendly. I loved all the kids and I'll surely miss them all so much. My experiences and the relationships I've made made me learn so much about myself. It helped me to look towards world in a different way by mentoring kids as their mentor didi. Udayan Care is more than an NGO and I am privileged to be part of this family. I hope to be back to India as soon as possible to reunite with awesome kids I worked with.

i was a volunteer at Udayan Care for the month of July,2015. every moment spent here was worth it and this place is like heaven for the under privileged children. the care homes they have are perfect in every sense and i don't think they are any less than a real family to the children. meaning of life is service and Udayan care is doing a great job for the children here with their various programs.
While working with udayan care i was able to implement my theoretical knowledge into the practical sense quite smoothly as the people associated with the organization tries to bring out the best in their employees and people associated with them.
The overall experience at udayan care boys home was pleasing and worth for my future.
My overall experience at udayan care was really amazing. People are very
Friendly and supportive. I want to appreciate the work of Interns/volunteer
Department. I was very much satisfied with the supervision and support of my
supervisor. Doing internship and participating in research project of udayan
care was my first time practical experience in the field of psychology. I loved

It was pleasant experience for me. People in udayan care are very supportive.
They are very friendly and I didn't hesitate to ask for anything to my
supervisor or any other person from volunteer department. I felt great working
with my supervisor who was there for help and support me in any difficulty. It
was overall a very healthy environment for me and I actually learned a lot by
working in udayan care with beautiful people. And children at home are very smart and cooperative. i
enjoyed working with udayan care.

Udayan care foundation made my first experience of working with an ngo truly unforgettable and gave me the confidence to further work for the underprivileged. It helped me in gaining a rich experience and i feel privileged to be a part of the organization where i got to inculcate varies things not only from the mentors but also the children. I would like to sincerely thank udayan care for the wonderful experience.
I worked in Udayan for a period of one month as Volunteer, where I was a part of a Need Assessment Survey conducted in the slums of North Delhi. The Experience, to put in a nutshell, was life altering. Udayan care made me realize the unexplored dearth of potential in the community as well as me. I'm glad of the opportunity and hopefully, this will be a long association.
I started working in the IT Department as a data analyst to filter the data. Later on I created Google Forms for the organization so as to lesser the burden on the HR Department in the future run. In all I learnt about working with the upcoming future trends of computer that will help me later in life! :)

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
In my 15 years of investing I've seen some earnings report doozies in the retail sector. The dot-com collapse and the credit crisis kept investors hiding under their bed sheets long enough to create some pretty hideous year-over-year comparisons. However, the figures that struggling retailer J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP ) reported last night were nothing short of the most atrocious quarter ever to grace the retail sector.
Let's face it: No one expected a miracle. Everyone was just sort of hoping that Penney's would report about a 20% drop in same-store sales and we'd move on with the ongoing turnaround plan. What actually happened was that Halloween came early.
For the quarter, Penney's total revenue plummeted 28.4% to $3.88 billion from the year-ago period as its total loss ballooned more than 600% to $552 million. Internet sales tumbled a horrific 34.4% and same-store sales, which exclude the effects of newly opened and closed stores, dropped a staggering 31.7%, or 560 basis points worse than Wall Street had anticipated. Furthermore, same-store sales figures have gotten progressively worse with each passing quarter:
Same-Store Sales %
I've been pondering these figures since Penney's released its report after the bell, and I can't honestly recall any retailer with as serious a regression in same-store sales figures as what Penney's reported last night. The worst comparable performance I could find was teen retailer American Apparel, which saw same-store sales declines of 20% on a constant currency basis during the height of the recession in August 2009. I'll give American Apparel some leeway given the market conditions at the time, but its share price still hasn't rebounded after four years of a slowly improving economy. Could that signal that Penney's fate will be similar?
Penney's CEO Ron Johnson did his best to admit his mistakes, and noted that the company plans to bring back about 100 sales a year in order to drive traffic back into its stores. While I've been a Ron Johnson supporter up until now, I can't help but point out how silly he sounded when backtracking on his comments with analysts in the conference call: "The customer will dictate the timing [of the mini-shop rollout]." It's been quite evident up until now that the customer has had little say in dictating the direction Penney's would head next, so to hear Johnson backpedaling has me concerned that Penney's management is as lost as it's ever been.
One pending catalyst that is hovering on the horizon is the brouhaha between it and Macy's (NYSE: M ) in a New York courtroom over the rights to sell merchandise from Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (UNKNOWN: MSO.DL ) . According to Macy's, it established an exclusive pact with Martha Stewart in 2007 that, it claims, extends to 2018 and should preclude Penney's from selling Martha Stewart products in its stores. Penney's, on the other hand, asserts it has the right to sell Martha Stewart's products in its stores and plans to open up Martha Stewart mini-shops within many of its retail locations. Not to mention that Penney's holds a 16.6% stake in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Martha Stewart herself may be unpopular, but her products still drive traffic like nobody's business, so this situation bears watching.
But even if Penney's retains the right to sell Martha Stewart's merchandise, will it matter? Penney's is losing market share to everyone -- and I mean everyone! Kohl's (NYSE: KSS ) , which has been stuck in quite the rut as it's remodeled many of its stores and revamped its pricing strategy, lowered its fourth-quarter outlook in January, but not before reporting a 3.4% rise in same-store sales in December. I'll give you three guesses as to where I suspect that boost came from, and the first two don't count.
It remains to be seen if Penney's backpedaling can restore the sales it's lost through the return of sale events or if those customers have permanently transferred their shopping elsewhere. What I can say for certain is that Penney's can't absorb another year of nearly $1 billion in cumulative losses. If we're staring down another 25%-plus same-store sales flub next quarter, we may be saying "au revoir" to JCP quicker than anyone had expected.
Is a turnaround in the cards?

- Clear glass votive candleholders
- Note: Choose Brushed Metallic, Glitter and Leafing colors based on the color scheme you'd like to achieve. See Ideas to Inspire at end of instructions for which paints were used on each of the votives in the photo.
- Craft knife
- Freezer paper
- Low-tack masking tape
- Cardboard (or similar weight scrap material to create template)
- Using the votive holder opening as a template, trace circle onto center of cardboard; cut out circle with a craft knife. This will be used to mask outside of votive while spraying only the inside.
- Lay template over opening of votive holder and tack in place with masking tape on the underside of template and the outside of the glass.
- Spray inside of votive holders with Looking Glass paint. To avoid runs and drips when spraying the small openings, spray very quick bursts by tapping the spray tip lightly and briefly while rotating the votive holder quickly at the same time. Be sure not to spray too closely to the votive holder, and change the angle of the votive holder often so that the inside can be completely covered. Let dry one minute between each coat. Continue spraying and turning, applying several layers of paint until the inside is completely covered and the outside of the glass appears mirror-like and opaque. Let dry completely.
- Spray inside of votives with Brushed Metallic paint, adding additional coats as needed and according to manufacturer's instructions. Let dry completely and remove cardboard and tape. Designer Tip: for smooth even coverage, place votive on center of a turntable (i.e. Lazy Susan) and spin slowly as you spray very light coats of paint until desired coverage is acquired.
- Embellish outside of votives by applying stencils or masking tape and spraying to coordinate with the inside Brushed Metallic paint. Let dry completely. Carefully remove tape and stencils. Freehand designs may be drawn using Leafing Pens. Let dry. Designer Tip: to create your own stencils, use paper punches or a craft knife to cut shapes from non-absorbent freezer paper, spray reverse side with Repositionable Adhesive and adhere to outside of votive; spray with light coats of Brushed Metallic paints. Strips of masking tape can also be used to create geometric shapes and interesting designs.
- Finish top edges of votives with coordinating Leafing Pens, and spray lightly with Glitter Spray, if desired.

A day after a second consecutive lopsided loss, Browns coach Pat Shurmur said his club is "much improved" from a season ago and better positioned to "make the next jump."
Acknowledging "looming change," Shurmur believes the team is relevant again, an important step toward reaching the playoffs. The coach made the remarks Monday when entertaining questions about whether he's witnessed progress in a season that's included five victories, one more than last year.
"I think . . . as a team, and I'm talking about the way we function and the young players we added, we are much improved from a year ago," Shurmur said.
The Browns (5-10) have followed a three-game winning streak -- one which saw them hanging on the fringe of the playoff race -- with two losses to Washington and Denver by a combined score of 72-33.
Speculation is rampant that new owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner plan to replace Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert. The Browns close the season Sunday in Pittsburgh and Banner has promised a quick decision on those positions.
"I do think we are building a team that is relevant, and you have to be relevant before you become a playoff team," Shurmur said. "Once you're in the playoffs, anything can happen. We've seen that. So, it's somewhat of a journey . . . and we've had to make this journey this year with change, right, and looming change and so that's what you push through. . . . As we push through this, we've got to keep making decisions based on making this team better and unfortunately that involves change, too."
140 characters: Shurmur spoke to Josh Cribbs about his profane Tweet to followers after Sunday's game. The coach's message: He shouldn't be reading fan feedback moments after a loss.
"That's not acceptable," Shurmur said of the Tweet. "You know we had a little conversation about why I don't like that, how he shouldn't do that and I think he's remorseful and I added to that he shouldn't be reading Tweets after the game as well.
"I think [from] the outside looking in on a locker room, you folks report on it but emotions are raw when you don't win a game, and I think he understands that and it's very important that you try to gather yourself and gain composure. We're all competitive people but it's also important that we use good judgment. I think part of using good judgment is don't read that stuff."
Cribbs had a 61-yard punt return nullified by penalty and also fumbled a punt that the Broncos recovered and eventually turned into a touchdown. Last week, he won the fans vote for Pro Bowl AFC Special Teams player. But on Sunday, he was clearly perturbed by some comments he received from them and lashed out:
"I see all the negativity on twitter after I gave my life to this [stuff]," he Tweeted. "So 2 all u who are against me [expletive] all y'all. I'm still gonna do me!"
Cribbs deleted the Tweet, but later made reference to his frustration with a series of posts. Shurmur declined to say whether Cribbs had been fined for his actions.
Decisions, decisions: Shurmur defended his decision to kick off to the Broncos and quarterback Peyton Manning after winning the toss Sunday. The coach often has deferred to the second half, but some questioned the wisdom of doing it against the high-powered Broncos. Manning guided them on an eight-play, 80-yard drive -- their third opening-drive touchdown in the past four weeks.
"Because I like having the ability to get the ball in the second half," Shurmur said when asked of his strategy. "I trust our defense. I knew we were going to get good field position. I trust our defense. That's why. . . . Unfortunately, they went down and scored. We got the ball and went down and scored as well but we got three instead of seven."
Clean hit? Shurmur saw nothing wrong with Brandon Stokley's hit that concussed Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown during the second quarter Sunday. The Broncos receiver was flagged for pass interference on a play in which he appeared to lunge into a defenseless Brown on a crossing pattern. It's common for receivers to try to pick or "rub" a defensive back, but not drive their shoulder into the targeted player.
"I don't think anybody was trying to hurt anybody," Shurmur said. ". . . Properly called a foul but I don't think anybody was trying to hurt somebody."
Browns cornerback Joe Haden believes the NFL office should look into the hit for a possible fine.
Miller out: The Steelers will be without Heath Miller in the finale on Sunday. The tight end, who's had some big games against the Browns, suffered a devastating right knee injury against Cincinnati. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament along with several others. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports Miller will require surgery and extensive offseason rehabilitation, according to coach Mike Tomlin. Miller also sustained injuries to his posterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments.
Quotebook: Shurmur on the Browns' chance to sweep the Steelers for the first time since 1988: "Well, we all know important the rivalry is with the Steelers, so yeah, it would be a big deal."
Brownies: The Browns have now lost 10 straight to the Broncos. . . . Browns guard John Greco sustained a thumb injury, but Shurmur said he's "OK" which would imply he he'll play Sunday.

On a lighter note, Ruth could be spotted in many parades and events, including the South Shore Water Frolics, as one of our own Dancing Grannies. A member for ten years (1985-1995), she performed with the 20-member drill team inspiring all to be happy, healthy and active, even in their golden years.
Ruth is truly one of the most deserving grandmas, mothers, artists and activities. She wears all of her hats gracefully and is an inspiration to all who know her.

A 22-year-old has been arrested after authorities said he twice vandalized a deputy's patrol car while it was parked in front of the officer's home.
Polk County Sheriff's deputies said Matthew James Lash also burglarized another home in the neighborhood and left a note on the front door of both homes that read "The Joker is Here! Jokes on you Bitch."
Deputies investigating the burglary said they found Lash in the street acting erratically and carrying a rifle. He was ordered back home, but authorities said he later came back out with a box cutter.
He was arrested Friday and is being held without bond. Authorities said he admitted to the vandalism and burglaries, saying he had been drinking and doesn't hold any ill will toward the deputy.

Penn State York Soccer Coach Named "Coach of the Year"
Rich Chilcoat, Penn State York's head soccer coach, was named "Coach of the Year" in soccer by the Penn State University Athletic Conference (PSUAC) during the annual athletic awards luncheon Monday, June 1, at University Park. The winner of this award is selected by vote of his/her peers in a PSUAC sponsored sport. This award is typically given to the coach whose team wins the conference championship but this year the award was given to the second place finisher, Chilcoat, based on his outstanding season.
Under Chilcoat's direction, the Penn State York soccer team finished second in the championship match of the PSUAC with a 1-0 loss to Penn College. This is the second consecutive year York's soccer team has played in the championship match. The York team also finished fifth in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national tournament held in Pontiac, Michigan last October. In addition to outstanding team play in the USCAA, five soccer players were named to the 2008 Soccer All-American Team: Suhaib Alqaddomi, Tim Krohn and Justin Shaeffer; Ben Suarez, honorable mention; and John Suarez, National All-American team.
Chilcoat has been the soccer coach at Penn State York for four years and prior to this appointment served for four years as the assistant soccer coach under longtime coach George Miller. Chilcoat also coaches for FC York instructing the 18-year-old boys and girls team and serves as trainer for the 15-year- old boys.
He has recently been selected to attend the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Premier Diploma coaching course at Bloomsburg University where participants must pass written, oral, and field exams. Only two coaches from Pennsylvania have been selected to attend this prestigious program.

"The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" is a piece of short fiction by Mark Twain. It first appeared in Harper's Monthly in December 1899, and was subsequently published by Harper & Brothers in the collection The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Stories and Sketches (1900). Twain actually encouraged it to be read as a replay of the Garden of Eden story in a satiric sense.[2]
Plot summary[edit]
Chapter I
Hadleyburg enjoys the reputation of being an "incorruptible" town known for its responsible, honest people that are trained to avoid temptation. However, at some point the people of Hadleyburg manage to offend a passing stranger, and he vows to get his revenge by corrupting the town.
The stranger's plan centers around a sack of gold (worth around $40,000) he drops off in Hadleyburg at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Richards, to be given to a man in the town who purportedly gave him some life-changing advice (and 20 dollars in a time of need) long ago. To identify the man, a letter with the sack suggests that anyone who claims to know what the advice was should write the remark down and submit it to Reverend Burgess, who will open the sack at a public meeting and find the actual remark inside. News of the mysterious sack of gold spreads throughout the town and even gains attention across the country.
Chapter II
The residents beam with pride as stories of the sack and Hadleyburg's honesty spread throughout the nation, but the mood soon changes. Initially reluctant to give into the temptation of the gold, soon even the most upstanding citizens are trying to guess the remark.
Mr. and Mrs. Richards, one of the town's 19 model couples, receive a letter from a stranger revealing the remark: "You are far from being a bad man: go, and reform". Mrs. Richards is ecstatic that they will be able to claim the gold. Unbeknownst to one another, all 19 couples have received exactly the same letter. They submit their claims to Burgess and begin to recklessly purchase things on credit in anticipation of their future wealth.
Chapter III
The town hall meeting to decide the rightful owner of the sack arrives, and it is packed with residents, outsiders, and reporters. Burgess reads the first two claims, and a dispute quickly arises between two members of the town, "Shadbelly" Billson and Lawyer Wilson. Both of their letters contain nearly the same remark. To settle which is right, Burgess cuts open the sack and finds the note that reveals the full remark: "You are far from being a bad man—go, and reform—or, mark my words—some day, for your sins you will die and go to hell or Hadleyburg—try and make it the former". Neither man's claim includes the second half of remark.
The next claim reads the same, and the town hall bursts into laughter at the obvious dishonesty behind the identical, incorrect claims. Burgess continues to read the rest of the claims, all with the same remark, and one by one the prominent couples of the town are publicly shamed. Mr. and Mrs. Richards await their name with anguish, but surprisingly it is never read.
With all the claims presented, another note in the sack is opened. It reveals the stranger's plot and his desire for revenge. He says that it was foolish for the citizens of Hadleyburg to always avoid temptation, because it is easy to corrupt those who have never had their resolve tested. It is discovered the sack contains not gold but lead pieces. A townsperson proposes to auction the lead off and give the money to the Richardses, the only prominent couple in town that did not have their name read off. Mr. and Mrs. Richards are in despair, unsure whether to come clean and stop the auction or to accept the money.
The stranger who set up the whole scheme in the first place is revealed to have been in the town hall the whole time. He contrives to reward the Richardses for their supposed honesty by buying the sack at auction for its price in gold.
Chapter IV
The following day the stranger delivers checks totaling $40,000 to the Richardses. They fret about whether they should burn them. A message arrives from Burgess, explaining that he intentionally kept the Richardses' claim from being read as a way to return an old favor done to him by Mr. Richards.
Mr. and Mrs. Richards become distraught over their situation. They grow paranoid and start to think Burgess has revealed their dishonesty to other people in the town. Their anxiety causes them both to fall ill and Mr. Richards confesses their guilt shortly before he and his wife die. Hadleyburg, with its reputation irreparably damaged, decides to rename itself. The story ends with the line "It is an honest town once more, and the man will have to rise early that catches it napping again".
The story was adapted into a 39-minute television film as part of the PBS American Short Stories series, featuring performances by Robert Preston, Fred Gwynne, and Frances Sternhagen. It first aired on March 17, 1980. A DVD version of the film was released on November 16, 2004.
Another adaptation of the story, featuring the Persky Ridge Players and filmed at a theater in Glasgow, Montana, had a VHS release on October 2, 2000.
Oberlin interpretation[edit]
Following Twain's unpopular lecture at Oberlin College in 1885, the town of Hadleyburg became symbolic of Oberlin, Ohio. Historian Russell B. Nye writes that the story "was Twain's way of taking revenge on the small town" after being jeered at and rejected by the academic audience.[3] Writes Nye, "the story is coexistent with the publication of Twain's tale of exposed hypocrisy, the townspeople remembering his visit and noting the parallel situations. There are some interesting and provocative parallels between Twain's Oberlin experiences and the Hadleyburg of fiction". The town of Oberlin had been founded as a religious and educational settlement in 1833, or approximately three generations before the writing of the story, and since that time had had a wide reputation, which is still held, as an educational and religious center. Again, it is important to note that the humiliation of the good people of Hadleyburg took place, ironically enough, in the village church, the scene of Twain's own experiences some years before.
Except for the internal evidence noted above, there seems to exist no more definite evidences of a connection between Oberlin and Hadleyburg. The fact that at the time of the publication of the story a connection was believed to exist, and that the belief still persists, serves as some evidence in itself. Then, too, if the story had been written with Oberlin in mind, could one expect to find any closer parallels than those already noted? To the people of Oberlin, for whom it was intended, the similarities were enough, as results show. Also, rabid anti-slavery agitation of some forty years before had made the town a highly-publicized community in the Middle West and East, and this fact, plus the town's fame as a religious and educational center, would have made the intended connection even more apparent.
