Dwyer Brothers Stable
|Former type
|Horse breeding/Racing Stable
|Thoroughbred Horse racing
|1890 (dissolved)
Brooklyn, New York,
United States
|Key people
Philip J. & Michael F. Dwyer
Evert Snedecker
James G. Rowe, Sr.
Frank McCabe
Dwyer Brothers Stable was an American thoroughbred horse racing operation owned by Brooklyn, New York businessmen, Phil and Mike Dwyer.
The Dwyer brothers hired trainer Evert Snedecker and purchased their first Thoroughbred, Rhadamanthus, in 1876. In October of that same year they acquired Vigil from Col. David McDaniel who to that point had earned $5630. In the ensuing few months of 1876 the colt won another $20,160 and has been chosen that year's retrospective American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse. [1]
Other trainers who worked for the Dwyers were James G. Rowe, Sr. and Frank McCabe. The Dwyers won the 1881 Kentucky Derby with future U.S. Hall of Fame colt, Hindoo and finished second with Runnymede the following year. However, they had their greatest racing success in the Belmont Stakes in their hometown, winning the classic event five times. One of the few major races at tracks in the New York/New Jersey area that they never won was the Brooklyn Handicap. [2]
The brothers, either together or individually, owned a number of prominent horses including Hindoo, Bramble, Bella B., Luke Blackburn, Bonnie Scotland, George Kinney, Miss Woodford, Barnes, Hanover, Raceland, Tremont, Ben Brush, and Cleophus. Mike Dwyer was a partner in Kingston. [3]
In 1886 they were a key part of the group of investors who formed the Brooklyn Jockey Club and built the Gravesend Race Track at Gravesend on Coney Island. The brothers racing partnership was dissolved in 1890 [4] and Mike Dwyer went on to enjoy further success. He won the Kentucky Derby for the second time in 1896 with Ben Brush, ridden by jockey Willie Simms.
The Dwyer's were owners who, like many others of that era, pushed their horses hard in a manner that would be unacceptable today.
The Brooklyn Derby, founded in 1887, was renamed the Dwyer Stakes in their honor in 1918.

Agricultural intensification typically leads to changes in bird diversity and community composition, with fewer species and foraging guilds present in more intensively managed parts of the landscape. In this study, we compare bird communities in small (2–32 ha) brigalow (Acacia harpophylla) remnants with those in adjacent uncultivated grassland, previously cultivated grassland and current cropland, to determine the contribution of different land uses to bird diversity in the agricultural landscape. Twenty remnant brigalow patches and adjacent agricultural ('matrix') areas in southern inland Queensland, Australia were sampled for bird composition and habitat characteristics. The richness, abundance and diversity of birds were all significantly higher in brigalow remnants than in the adjacent matrix of cropping and grassland. Within the matrix, species richness and diversity were higher in uncultivated grasslands than in current cultivation or previously cultivated grasslands. Forty-four percent of bird species were recorded only in brigalow remnants and 78% of species were recorded in brigalow and at least one other land management category. Despite high levels of landscape fragmentation and modification, small patches of remnant brigalow vegetation provide important habitat for a unique and diverse assemblage of native birds. The less intensively managed components of the agricultural matrix also support diverse bird assemblages and thus, may be important for local and regional biodiversity conservation.

SOLON– On Thursday, Aug. 6, at 2 p.m., the Johnson County Joint Emergency Communications Center (JECC) received a report of a missing child at Lake MacBride State Park and a deputy from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the scene.
At 2:13 p.m., the JECC received another 911 call from a group of teens who found an unresponsive child in the water at the beach. The teens removed the child from the water and immediately began performing CPR. The child was pronounced dead at the scene by a University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) AirCare physician.
SOLON– There will be four candidates running for two seats on the Solon school board, and all are scheduled to appear at a candidate forum Wednesday, Aug. 19, at the Solon Public Library.
School elections will be held Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Incumbent Dan Coons will be seeking re-election to the Solon board, but two-term member Dean Martin will not.
Instead, three other residents have thrown their hat in the ring.
Adam Haluska, Jim Hauer and Amber Marty all filed candidate petitions that included at least 47 signatures with the district office by the July 30 deadline, as did Coons.
SOLON– Three months after her retirement from teaching first grade at Lakeview Elementary School, Rosann Sandersfeld leafed through a book of student letters.
Printed painstakingly in pencil, the children thanked Mrs. Sandersfeld for her teaching career and urged her to enjoy retirement in the simplest of ways. Some hoped she'd be able to sleep in more and watch TV. Some, in a throwback to their first grade nutrition unit, implored their teacher to eat nuts and drink milk. All agreed, she must spend as many days as possible in pajamas.
SOLON— If there's something going on in Solon, odds are Marv Stastny is in the thick of it.
Stastny, one of two men honored this year as Solon's Seniors of the Year, has made a career of volunteering to serve the community. A native of Ely, Stastny spent 20 years there, including two years on the Ely Volunteer Fire Department.
SOLON– This new paint job will cost $62,500.
The members of the Solon City Council approved a bid of that amount from Central Tank Coatings, Inc. of Elgin for painting the city's water tower.
The city received two quotes for the project, reported Public Works Director Scott Kleppe at a regular Aug. 5 council meeting. The other bid, for $76,780, came from the company with which the city had a long-standing relationship, Maguire Iron of Sioux Falls, S.D., said Kleppe.
Middle School football equipment handout Aug. 19 and Aug. 30
SOLON– Eighth grade football players will receive their equipment on Wednesday, Aug. 19, starting at 4 p.m. in the middle school athletic hallway. Seventh grade football players will receive their equipment on Thursday, Aug. 30, starting at 4 p.m. in the middle school athletic hallway.
SOLON– The Solon Athletic Booster Club will be sponsoring the 15th annual Booster Bash Golf Outing on Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Lake Macbride Golf Course. The event is open to anyone interested in supporting the student athletes of the Solon Community School District.
This year's outing is going to be the day after the all-sports
ELY– The Annual Community Polka Festival will be held Sunday, Aug. 16, at the Ely American Legion Hall, located at 1545 Main St. in Ely. This fundraiser is for St. Luke's Child Protection Center.
SOLON– The Solon Athletic Booster Club and the Solon High School and Middle School Activities Department will be hosting the annual Fall Sports Kickoff and Football Scrimmage at Spartan Stadium on Friday, Aug. 21. The events of the evening include the introduction of middle school and high school fall programs and their participants, a performance by the Solon Dance Team, and the night will culminate with a football intra-squad scrimmage.
SOLON– A sense of excitement filled the air of Main Street for the second time in a week, as the long-anticipated Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI XLIII) made its way through Solon on July 24, right on the tail of the community's annual Beef Days celebration (July 17-18).
SOLON– Years ago, a teenage girl in Solon dreamed of engineering.
Kristine Vanderwiel, née Gleason, absorbed her experiences in 4-H and youth career conferences with excitement and hope.
Today, she passes that on as a youth mentor, inspiring and encouraging girls interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

OXFORD– Something just doesn't make sense to Lydia Bringer.
"I don't understand why I have this love for the flag more than kids who were born here."
Bringer was born in Mexico and came to the United States legally after the death of her mother. She underwent the long, arduous and expensive process to gain citizenship and proudly proclaimed the Pledge of Allegiance when it was granted. Before she accepted citizenship, she did a little soul searching.

( A/N – I'm not going to spend anytime blabbing on this time. I think this chapter should spice things up a bit… New revelations are revealed to Ami about Hotaru's purpose. On to the story! )
The Screen Behind the Mirror – Between Mind & Heart
*( Flashback)*
Thoughts (without quotes)
As I stepped out of the room and saw the pilots staring at me with wonder, I must admit that I wanted to turn around and avoid this whole conversation. Inside I felt that Hotaru's status didn't concern them, especially after the questionable circumstances of how she got the injuries still up in the air. I quickly searched for the words to say and right before I was about to open my mouth, Quatre spoke up.
"How is she…?"
"She is doing a lot better, especially with her healing powers considered… I don't have a clue what happened to her though…" I said than later realized I let one of Hotaru's powers slip out.
"Healing…. Are you guys sure you didn't notice anything weird at all while you were in the park?" Duo said curiously.
"That's the whole problem, with those types of injuries that Hotaru has acquired, there is no way she could have been that hurt without us finding out a thing in that tiny park… When we asked her she wouldn't tell us anything…" Wufei said obviously frustrated at all the circumstances that occurred tonight.
The gundam pilots talked like that for a minute or two until I noticed how quiet I have been. Heero finally stood up.
"We should go and let you and Hotaru rest up, I am sure there are a lot of things that we all need to think about," Heero said.
My mind didn't let me immediately answer. Quatre and Duo looked at me as if to ask if I will be alright, but with all the circumstances that happened tonight, they held their tongue. I didn't know what to tell them after this. I looked at the pilots and noticed how tired they were…but I felt a very faint air of worry-guilt flow through them. As they got their coats and were about to leave, I finally found the words and spoke up. They all stopped and looked back at me…
"Umm… I am sorry for what I said earlier… I know you all can tell that I don't trust you…but I have a feeling you really tried your best to find and help Hotaru. I haven't picked up any hint of malicious intent in this room. I feel that you all try to hide your emotions to some degree for whatever reason, but in the end… I know you all were worried about Hotaru…"
For the first time since I have been with the pilots, I felt the air in the room lighten up…
"Ami… there is a lot about us you probably don't know about, but when it gets to the very root of everything… we aren't heartless as you might think," Duo said with a genuine smile on his face.
"The piece of paper you saw today doesn't define us or our mission. I don't know what happened tonight, but it is something that we all want to find out and make sure it doesn't happen again to anyone… especially Hotaru," Trowa added which surprised me.
"We should go Ami, please rest up and keep us posted on Hotaru's status, it has been a long day for all of us," Quatre spoke with a smile. I nodded my head and watched as everyone walked out. With a close of the front door, I found myself somewhat relieved.
I went to lock the door and finally realized it was two o'clock in the morning and I was dead tired. I took another look at Hotaru and saw her sleeping like a baby. I changed into a nightie and sat on the couch. I stretched out and thoughts clouded my mind. The comments the pilots said were genuine… but I feel so confused. I don't know what to think about this sudden turn of events, but the main question is what happened to Hotaru this evening? Hotaru acted weird all day, and I can never forget the trance- like state she walked away with in the park. I want to blame the pilots, but at the same time, I feel slightly grateful for them. Finally, my mind quieted and the tiredness I felt throughout the day caught up to me.
Ami – (Finally, after 4 chapters we are on to the next day, which is Sunday =b)
I slowly opened my eyes, only to be welcomed by the beating sun on my face… I looked at the clock and noticed it was 1:17 on a Sunday afternoon. Thoughts of the previous night came rushing to my head and I got up to check on Hotaru. Her state remained unchanged and I started to wonder if she was in a comatose state. Regardless, I cleaned her wounds again, but noticed they were faint and nearly gone. It caused a smile to play on my lips knowing she was going to be ok.
As I walked around I heard my tummy talk to me and realized that I hadn't had a thing to eat since yesterday afternoon. I fixed a quick bowl of cereal and thought about what I was going to do today.
I was surprised to realize how close I was to Hotaru. Today is usually a day we sleep in and go out later on. Unfortunately, with her out like this, I started to wonder what I did before we met to occupy my time from boredom.
I knew I had so much to think about from the previous night. I did want to go to the park again to see if I can find anything out, but with Hotaru like this, I feel it is safer to stay here with her. It was really starting to turn into one of those days where you wanted something to do, but at the same time, you didn't feel like doing anything. As soon as I was about to fall asleep again, I heard the phone ring.
"Hello?" I said curiously.
"Hey Ami, this is Duo"
For once I'm actually quite glad to hear from Duo "Oh, hey there, Duo".
"We we all wondering how Hotaru was holding up."
"Well… her wounds are nearly gone, but she is still unconscious, I am not sure when she will wake up, but I have a feeling she will be ok".
"That's good to hear. I also wanted to apologize for yesterday… You kept on telling us on the couch to check on Hotaru but-"
"It's ok Duo… It is in the past right now. I really don't want to dwell on it. Deep down inside I have a feeling even if we were there; it wouldn't have made a difference on what happened to Hotaru."
"You think so… Wufei, Quatre, and Trowa are confused on all what happened. They keep on saying how they looked over and over only for her to suddenly appear out of nowhere wounded when they were about to give up."
"That's the problem…I don't know what happened to Hotaru either… her wounds seemed more like they were self-inflicted… almost like she was running through thorn bushes and tree branches."
"We are going to go to the park and the surrounding area again to see if we can figure something out. Let us know if anything happens with Hotaru's health."
"Ok, Bye".
After I hung up I felt it was weird for Duo and I to have such a conversation with no animosity at all. It made me really start to think that our relationships with the pilots are slowly changing to something more pleasant… if we like it or not.
I stretched out on the couch again and started to yawn. Suddenly, a previous conversation I had with Hotaru a while back came to my mind. I sat upright as I struggled to remember. As I slowly remembered, I started to really wonder if Hotaru's wounds might have been inflicted by something seriously out of this world.
I think it was a month after we met… we were in our spot in the woods behind the school… and she asked me something… what was it again…?
*( The wind was so gentle that day…and I remember looking at Hotaru and noticed a faraway look in her eyes…
"Is there something on your mind Hotaru?"
"You noticed?" Hotaru said with a slight chuckle… than she turned serious… "I actually have a question."
"As you know I'm an open book" I said with a smile.
"It may sound strange but… Have you ever disappeared to a place… well… out of this world in a violent way…"
"O-out of this world? Violently?" I remember looking at Hotaru curiously, but her faraway glance didn't change… she didn't answer so I spoke up again.
"I guess not from what I recall…Have you?" I said with curious look.
"Who knows…"
The wind that day continued to blow and at the time I thought nothing of it… at least at that time…)*
Out of this world… I know Hotaru has been reborn… maybe she was referring to that?
Finally… I remembered what Hotaru's true powers are. Powers that may have aligned her to do something which might be her true purpose… Another previous conversation popped in my mind which solidified my worries…
*( "Ami… do you ever feel like a puppet… That your powers were given to you to do something of someone else's will?"
"A puppet… not really, but why would you say for someone else's will? We are our own people Hotaru. No one can tell us how we may or may not use our powers."
"…Yeah… I guess you are right.")*
I violent chill came over me when I finally realized the only power Hotaru has ever used was her healing power. I thought it was because she didn't want to use the others… but now I realize that in Hotaru's world… unleashed and unmatched power has always flowed within her.
She is like me… yet she isn't.
I have always known her powers… but never understood… why did it take me this long…
I went over to Hotaru's bedside and started to cry… because now I had a feeling of her true purpose… A purpose someone would have to of been born with those powers…
Those deadly powers…
That she possess…
"Death……Destruction…… Rebirth"
( A/N: Well that's it for now. A lot of questions need to be answered have popped up in poor Ami's mind. Finally Ami feels a bit safer with the pilots but now she is slowly starting to worry about Hotaru. What is to become this friendship? Honestly, I don't know yet =b. I am making the story up as I go, so if you have any suggestions about who you want to see more dialogue from or any comments or questions about the story, feel free to ask. Hope you enjoyed the read!)

Foreign investors buying homes illegally in Australia could face penalties of over $600,000, in one of the first big tries by the government to slow the rising costs of home within the country.
"What we want to do is ensure that illegal foreign investment is not unnecessarily driving up prices," Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Saturday. "If you don't play by the rules there will be a tough penalty regime in place, and those penalties will be enforced."
The policies will ensure that prospective overseas buyers can only purchase newly-built homes, and require the approval of the Foreign Investment Review board to acquire the property; Third parties who acknowledge violations and are complicit with them can be punished as well.
A report by Demographia released in January said, after Hong Kong and Vancouver, Sydney is the third least affordable housing-market in the world. The cost of housing in Sydney increased 15 per cent since last April, and 11 per cent in Melbourne, according to CoreLogic RP Data. The data also suggested the median dwelling price in Sydney was $732,500.
The policy was discussed on Australia's The Today Show by Ross Greenwood, and he referenced Vancouver's housing market. Since then, there has been discussion on twitter: Does Vancouver need to consider Australia's solution to stall housing prices?
Can Vancouver learn something about controlling housing prices from Australia? I think so. #vanre #vanpoli http://t.co/7OhQlSgjuB

This seems a bit extreme and could make Vancouver real estate more attractive to foreigners. https://t.co/kenNkL1jOg

The influence of foreign investors on the housing market of Vancouver has been a hot topic for years; Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson announced an Affordable Housing Agenda with Vision Vancouver last fall, which looks to add up to 4,000 rental suites to the city.
