The word "lavish" has been hanging around patiently in dictionaries and thesauri for years, just waiting to apply itself to the new Joanna Newsom CD. The eccentric harpist/poetess/songbird has seen fit to follow up her rough-hewn, craftswoman-like debut The Milk-Eyed Mender (appropriately dressed down in hand-stitched cover art) with a huge, dazzlingly orchestrated and, yes, lavish set of extended suites (replete with an "old Flemish master"-style cover portrait of the artiste).
Ys contains only five tracks but nonetheless clocks in at just under an hour. Each song moves at a leisurely pace, but the effect comes off as less opulent-for-opulence's-sake than as a rare demonstration of taking the time to stop and smell the musical flora. And what a garden of aural delights has been concocted! Newsom's exquisite harp and defiantly individualistic vocals were recorded with no-frills, you-are-there clarity by indie-rock stalwart Steve Albini, and those basic tracks were then set to orchestrations by legendary arranger (and one-time Beach Boys lyricist) Van Dyke Parks. These two sessions were then seamlessly mixed together by avant-gardist-turned-studio-wiz Jim O'Rourke (Wilco, Sonic Youth). The results of all this loving toil are both weirdly familiar and unlike anything you've likely been privileged to hear before.

The first piece, "Emily" (named for and featuring backing vocals by Newsom's sister), is haunting and vivid, describing an idyllic but frightening dream with such conviction and detail that it seems to unfold before the listener in real time, with lyrics like "so the muddy mouths of baboons and sows, and the grouse and the horse and the hen / grope at the gate of the looming lake that was once a tidy pen" which, believe it or not, read much freakier than they sound tripping from the singer's tongue. The following track, "Monkey & Bear," continues the animal motif and begins with multitracked Newsom vocals sounding like nothing so much as sugar-plum fairies (or Lullaby League members) come to life. Each song contains a certain spooky, homespun mysticism ("I wasn't born from a whistle, or milked from a thistle at twilight / No; I was all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright" from "Sawdust & Diamonds") as well as a sly, word-drunk wit ("Scrape your knee: it is only skin / Makes the sound of violins" from "Only Skin"). With Ys, Joanna Newsom and her collaborators have constructed a self-contained omniverse of sound, one that threatens to close up behind the listener, taking you with it when the disc deigns to stop spinning. Not a bad way to go, really.

Because he wrote that Saddam Hussein did indeed have weapons of mass destruction, and in fact used them against his own people, one might conclude Bill Shuman (Letters, "Saddam didn't use spitballs," July 4) supported the invasion of Iraq.

Unfortunately, he would be terribly off the mark. True, there is no doubt Hussein used horrible weapons against his people and killed tens of thousands of them, but then this planet tragically has always had many sadistic and ruthless dictators who have in the past, do today and will continue in the future to inflict such hideous cruelty on their subjects.
Are we going to topple all of these despots and conquer all of these nations? Of course not. As much as Shuman might like to think of Bush as an enlightened, benevolent purveyor of freedom for the world's oppressed, when Bush spoke of WMDs, he spoke of them in relation to their direct threat against the United States - not in terms of their use against Iraqis themselves - as a reason we had to invade.
In that regard, he terribly misled our nation into war. If Shuman really thinks we must undertake military action to prevent slaughter of innocent civilians at the hands of cruel leaders, that's admirable. So, when do we invade the Sudan? Zimbabwe? The Congo?

SeaBlue Physical Therapy offers treatment programs for numerous ailments
Northport — Accessing Point Lookout's state-of-the-art fitness facilities, SeaBlue Physical Therapy offers evidence-based rehabilitation for issues ranging from sports-related injuries to impaired balance.
SeaBlue Physical Therapy Owner Brad Olsen has lived in Maine since 1992 and opened his therapy clinic at Point Lookout in 2010, relying primarily on word of mouth to bring in new clients. However, before opening his clinic, Olsen wore many hats through the years working as an urchin diver, a construction worker and a pilot.
It's those job experiences that Olsen says help him better treat his patients, since he understands many different careers and the toll it can take on the body.
"I look at why the pain is there," Olsen said about his practice. "I look at the reason behind the injury. I don't want to just treat the symptoms."
Olsen's approach to treating his clients is to tailor a treatment plan that specifically addresses the problem presented. For instance, Olsen explained his process for handling a baseball player who is experiencing rotator cuff pain. First, Olsen said he gathers a detailed history to determine some of the factors that can contribute to that particular ailment.
Then, Olsen said he asks if the person is experiencing any neck pain, numbness in the hands, the level of pain and other similar questions.
The shoulder, which Olsen eagerly admits is one of his favorite parts of the body to work on due to its complexity, can present pain in different ways that aren't always related to that specific section of the body, he explained. He tries to gather as much information as possible because some pain issues may present themselves in one part of the body, but the issue is actually the result of a problem in a different part of the body.
"A knee issue could actually be caused by a problem in your lower back," Olsen said.
Those details then help him determine the appropriate treatment plan, which can involve a combination of manual work on the joints and therapeutic exercise.
Although it is often challenging, the process of finding out what is wrong with a client is a motivator for Olsen who readily admits he enjoys the process of diagnosing a particular issue. Being able to give an accurate diagnosis goes a long way towards helping a client, as Olsen noted many pain issues can be fixed by making sure a person's body is moving properly.
"If the body is moving correctly, usually the pain goes away," he said.
Once Olsen diagnoses an issue, he said he uses a combination of manual therapy, which involves working on a client's joints, and therapeutic exercises –– many of which can be performed at home.
As he continues to grow his business, Olsen said one of the most important aspects of his clinic is offering one-on-one treatment and being available to his clients to answer questions. If someone has a question about a new symptom or need clarification on a technique for a home exercise, Olsen encourages him or her to contact him and he will respond as quickly as possible.
SeaBlue Physical Therapy accepts all forms of insurance except for MaineCare, Olsen said.
Olsen can be contacted by telephone at (207) 706-6076 to schedule an appointment or a doctor can fax a referral to him at 1-877-807-8994. SeaBlue Physical Therapy is located in the Fitness Center at Point Lookout in Northport.

DETROIT — The news concerning A's starting pitchers has been uniformly good, but on Tuesday manager Bob Melvin expressed some concern about the status of Monday starter Jarrod Parker.
Melvin took Parker out of the American League Division Series Game 3 after the minimum five innings needed to get the win. Parker had a quick fifth inning, thanks in part to a double play, but he'd given up three runs in the fourth.
Oakland was ahead 6-3 at the time he was lifted, and he'd only thrown 74 pitches, so there was no overriding need seen at the time to remove Parker.
On Tuesday, however, Melvin said Parker "didn't look 100 percent right."
Asked if that had any implications for the A's potential involvement in the AL Championship Series, Melvin said he didn't want to look that far ahead.
"The ball didn't come out of (Parker's) hand right,: Melvin said. "Jarrod looked a little run down."
The A's level of concern seems to be relatively mild given that there is no plan to have Parker checked out by a medical specialist.
At the same time because this is the post-season, the A's have to consider options. Brett Anderson, currently the long man in the bullpen is one. Another is A.J. Griffin, who is trying to work his way back after a bout with a sore arm. And lefty Tommy Milone, who is not on the roster but who is traveling with the team, could also be considered.

The Burbank City Council on Tuesday continued the discussion on how to effectively and legally regulate group homes in residential neighborhoods, ultimately requesting that city staff bring back more information on a number of ideas generated by council members, residents and a land-use expert.
The issue has caused a stir in Burbank since the city adopted its state-required housing element in January to allow community-care facilities — which may include sober-living facilities that don't require licensing — in single-family residential neighborhoods to comply with state law.
Burbank is reportedly home to at least three such facilities, as the state law has been in effect for years, though just one is located in a single-family neighborhood.
At a community meeting on Monday, land-use law expert Barbara Kautz advised the public and city officials to explore neutral, nondiscriminatory standards to ensure the homes are managed properly while still being compliant with fair-housing laws, as well as to more clearly define what constitutes a household versus a boarding home.
Councilman David Gordon on Tuesday pushed for a moratorium on major home expansions, which would prohibit home buyers from, say, converting a three-bedroom home into a six-bedroom one to give city officials time to draft more robust regulations, an idea City Manager Mark Scott called "clever."
"I don't want to turn, overnight, our beautiful, single-family residences into boarding-type houses, and every house has six bedrooms in it and is so crowded, you can't park your car and you can't walk on the street," Gordon said. "You want to have some controls to protect the integrity of our residential neighborhoods."
But Mayor Emily Gabel-Luddy argued that the idea was no more than an anti-mansionization ordinance that wouldn't address the larger issue of group homes in residential areas. Gordon's initial motion requesting a draft moratorium was shot down in a 2-3 vote, with Gabel-Luddy, along with Councilmen Gary Bric and Jess Talamantes dissenting.
The contentious debate lasted almost two hours, with the council ultimately — in a unanimous vote — requesting information on how to implement some of Kautz's suggestions, as well as, at Gordon's repeated requests, further details on what a moratorium would look like.
Members of Save Burbank Neighborhood, a community group that's been vocal about the issue in recent months, supported the idea of a moratorium, which resident Mike Moynahan said would prevent single-family neighborhoods from becoming "institutionalized."
Moynahan did, however, express disappointment at how Burbank's elected officials treated each other.
"It's just embarrassing," he said. "I hope you watch yourselves, your behavior."

An exclamation mark punctuated one of the finest careers in Canadian university football last night.
Western Mustangs wide receiver Andy Fantuz, the most prolific pass catcher the college game has seen, walked away from the national awards gala with the Hec Crighton Trophy.
The trophy recognizes the Canadian Interuniversity Sport player of the year. It's named after Hec Crighton, a teacher, coach, referee and author of the CIS rule book.
Fitting, since Fantuz authored the best numbers ever by a wide receiver during his run with the Mustangs.
"This is the best honour you can get," he said last night. "I'm really proud to represent myself, my team, my school and my hometown (Chatham)."
In Fantuz's case, there really was no doubt about him winning. The only doubt is whether he'll return for a fifth year at Western, or opt to play in the CFL. And there's really no doubt about that. "I think he's gone," said Larry Haylor, Fantuz's coach the past four years. "And we'll probably appreciate him a whole much more when he's not there next year.
"From the get-go he was great. He wasn't a guy we had to wait to be great. And he never backed away from being consistently great."
Haylor won't even attempt to do a selling job on Fantuz to convince him to come back for a fifth year. Playing professional football is all this young man has ever dreamed of doing since he was old enough to pick up a ball in his backyard back home.
With the numbers he put up and the national records he smashed, Fantuz will likely be the first player selected when the CFL holds its draft of Canadian university players in April.
"It's going to be tough," Fantuz said when asked about leaving Western. "The guys on the team are all like brothers. I had a great time playing with them and we'll be friends for life. . . . They'll be fine next year, with or without me."
Fantuz caught himself -- he's still saying he "hasn't really thought about it too much" -- but the look in those eyes says pro football. He carries himself like a pro. He plays like a pro.
"He was one of those guys with high expectations, who exceeded them," Haylor said. "He's a guy when the ball is in the air, he believes the ball is absolutely his."
But the one thing that will elude Fantuz is a trip to the national final.
"I'm jealous of Laurier and Saskatchewan. They're in the show," he said of the two schools that will play tomorrow for the Vanier Cup.
Fantuz is the fifth Mustang to win the Hec Crighton since its inception in 1967, and the first since fullback Tim Tindale, who won in 1993 and 1991. The others were quarterback Jamie Bone (1978) and backs Greg Marshall (1980) and his brother Blake (1986).
Fantuz is just the fifth receiver to get the honour and the first since Calgary's Don Blair 10 years ago. And he did it after suffering a serious leg injury last May in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament.
"It's in constant rehab," he revealed of his left quadriceps, bleeding after a knee-on-leg collision. "I never got back to perfect. I always have to take care of it."
He certainly fooled the opposition this season, leading the nation in the regular season with 12 touchdown receptions, tying for the CIS lead with Ottawa's Adam Nicolson with 44 catches, and finishing second in receiving yards (825) behind Guelph's Jeff Keegan of London (936).
Fantuz burst on the university scene in 2002, and was named rookie of the year after a single-season record with 1,300 receiving yards, 188 more than Blair's 1,112 in his Hec Crighton season in 1995.
Fantuz can walk away owning all CIS career receiving marks with 189 catches, 4,123 yards and 41 touchdowns.
His yards are 936 more than McMaster's Ryan Janzen, who had 3,187 in five seasons (1996-2000). His TD receptions are 13 more than Calgary's Dave Brown (1985-89) and Laurier's Stefan Ptaszek (1990-94), who both played five years. His catches are three more than Ptaszek.
He'll leave Western as the most decorated football player in school history. He was an all-Canadian each year, three times on the first team.
But he almost didn't make it to Western. He was heavily recruited by Greg Marshall, while he was coaching the Marauders before joining the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Fantuz had made a $500 deposit on a dorm room.
At the last minute, he chose Western.
"I felt like Western was the right place for me," he said. "I was drawn by my (future) teammates, I liked the campus and the city. I've had tons of fun."
He had to drop the idea of getting back the deposit, but his hands sure were a great catch by Western.

High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites Iii, vol. 164-1 (1999) pp. 435-438
Joining of Si-Ti-C-O fiber reinforced ceramic composite and Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steel with Ag-Cu-Ti brazing alloy was carried out. The joining interfaces were perpendicular to the direction of fibers. For relaxation of thermal stress caused by thermal expansion mismatch between the composite and the stainless steel during cooling, a pure copper thin plate was set between the specimens to be joined. Joining strength was evaluated by bending test at room temperature. The highest strength of composite/metal joint attained in this study was 230 MPa. The scattering of the strength data was narrow. The composite-side fracture surfaces of the high strength joints were divided into many regions by fiber/matrix interfacial clacks. It was inferred that those interfacial cracks, which were perpendicular to the main crack along the joining interface, decreased the stress intensity factor of the main crack and increased the strength of the joints. On the other hand, no fiber/matrix interfacial crack was observed on the fracture surfaces of a weak composite/composite joint. Formation of many holes oil the composite surfaces to be joined by etching caused damage to the fibers during joining, and had an adverse effect on the joining strength.

u need inverted training gear and a few beers ..
Get a CP heli flight simulator (most usually come with CP heli) since crashing wont cost ya anything. Hover it high enough, then roll (left/right) or yank the heli (forward/backward) until it's upside down. IMMEDIATELY after it's inverted, then quickly have the throttle stick at the bottom (on normal side up, u'd have the throttle on top/above mid). Try to hold the heli like that for a few seconds with the cyclics, then longer until you can flip back to normal back n forth with ease. I can run the technical mumbojumbo but that's pretty much the thing to do.
If you can do that on simulator, learn how fast you can get a roll reaction from your real world heli and do the same procedure after being familiar with the response time.
Get it at least 50' up in the air in a wide open space and just start out with forward rolls. Stick timing with aircraft orientation is crucial. Do it on the sim at least 10 times consecutively without a crash. And don't get big balls after 1st real invert. Set 'er down & don't have heart attackackackack.
A Blade CP? You should check this out...
I'd like to find out just how exactly he made this contraption. However, I do recommend a flight simulator.
However, with a heli that has the capability, it isn't that hard. The CP has barely enough capability to fly inverted, while for something like the Blade 400, simple inverted flight is within 50% of it's capability. You see, in order to make this maneuver easy, you need to be well within the capability of the helicopter itself, rather than on the edge or at the max of its capabilities.
Same thing goes for the pilot - you must be more than capable of actually flying it inverted before you try it. The only way you are going to get there is with a good simulator. I personally use RealFlight G3.5, but "HeliSim" is pretty good, and FMS will even get the basics for you.
1. Be in idle-up mode with good head speed - this is a problem for the CP - it just can't generate a good head speed and it bogs down easily.
2. Pop the heli up a bit and while you have the momentum going up...
3. Flip the heli upside-down in either direction (roll it or flip it)
4. As the heli flips over, move the collective stick down, trying to hit mid-stick exactly when the heli is vertical
5. OK this is the hard part - remember how far above mid-stick you were in a regular hover? That's how far below mid-stick you'll need to be in order to hover inverted - maybe a slight bit more.
That is the mistake I made when I did my first roll - I thought I would need to punch the collective into the negative range really hard - and this makes for a sloppy roll, and I almost killed the motor using too much negative pitch all at once. You must make your transitions smoothly - don't jerk things around. I remember the first time I saw somebody doing hard 3D - I imagined them slamming the sticks around to the extremes - but it's impossible to fly that way - you'll de-stabilize the helicopter and it won't do what you want. Move quickly, but smoothly. Hard to describe... but get a lot of simulator practice.
By the time you have mastered hovering in all orientations and fast forward flight circuits and figure eights, you'll be ready to try a loop, which I think should be your first inverted move - even a FP heli can do a loop. Next will come rolls, then some inverted FF (2-point rolls really), and then you can try to hover inverted, which is much harder than the fluid maneuvers like rolls, loops, and cuban-8s.
Make it smooth... like this:
Use an RC Simulator Program.
Get an RC PC sim program like Real Flight or Phoenix. Both of these mimic the physics and aerodynamics of real models very well.
Both are good but Phoenix has better photo-realistic and water effects than Real Flight. Download the demos to decide. You do need a good PC with either sim programs to run them smooth.
This is the best thing you can do for learning inverted flight, and it will not cost you anything, if you crash.
Once you are confident in the sim, then get a lightweight 300-400 size helicopter and try the same maneuvers up high.
Unless you are a prodigy, inverted flight takes a long time to learn and master, by this I mean once you invert the helicopter you have to hold it in hover and be able to do the sames things you would with the helicopter upright. This can take months to years to accomplish depending on how hard you practice, but don't let this discourage you!. Be determined and just have fun! at first in the sim, and it will all come naturally, one day. Then you can try doing precision flying and more elaborate tricks.
Here is a video of what you can achieve with Real Flight G3.5 and a tiny model that has been modified to fly inverted. Never mind the mention of upgrades in the video, for the real thing, just watch the model. You can do the same with practice, the dynamics of bigger sim models and slower ones will get you the training you need quickly.
Last edited by MarioIArguello; Sep 22, 2008 at 01:47 AM. Reason: Use an RC sim
Yeah I guess I could have checked that. Looks a lot like K'nex though... one problem with that is the K'nex come apart really easy. The Lego Technic can make some pretty strong stuff. However, I don't think a contraption like that is going to help you learn very much. It's the transition that's important - when I've had trouble with inverted stuff, it's because I went into it weird... hard to recover from a mistake when you're upside-down. Turn off the zoom on your sim when you practice - there is no zoom in real life, and you need to learn to keep orientation when you can barely see the thing.

Fear not, all is not lost. While starting as early as possible is preferable, it is
still possible to make provision for your retirement starting at 42.
But you'll have to save harder, work for
longer, and invest wisely so that what savings you do have, achieve the best
possible returns.
your retirement income is a factor of how early you started saving, how much
you've saved, the investment returns you've enjoyed and the amount lost through
not preserving your pension or provident fund savings when you changed jobs.
When you reach your forties, you can only influence two factors: how much you
contribute and the investment choices you make. It's too late to think about
starting early, and the retirement money you cashed in between jobs is long
The rule
of thumb for retiring independently is that you will need a capital sum of
15-20 times your final annual pre-tax income. This will give you an income
equal to about 70% of your income at a retirement age of 65 (if you buy a
conventional pension-providing product).
your personal circumstances, to achieve this level of income (70% of final
salary) you will need to save about 30% of your salary, or achieve an
investment return of 15% above inflation.
Both seem daunting, but there are
ways to lessen the burden. If you can achieve an investment return of 7% above
inflation, you'll have to save a bit less - around 25% of your salary.
And if you work until 70 instead of 65 and
earn a regular return of 7% above inflation, you'll only have to save about 12%
of your salary.
Alternatively, you could
plan to retire on 50% of your current income instead of 70%, which is possible
if you're debt-free and in good health.
You also
need to make sure your investment choices are not too conservative. Equities
have outperformed all other asset classes over time and it is essential to
include them in your portfolio for real growth.
However, they also come with volatility, though this tends to smooth out
over the long term.
mention that you have a pension plan through your company and that you are
looking for an additional investment option.
When deciding which investment product best suits your needs, you need
to consider when you'll need to access your investment, how it will be taxed
and what happens to it in the event of your death.
You also need to consider
fees. A retirement annuity fund (RA), a discretionary unit trust investment or
an endowment policy are all possible options.
biggest advantage of RAs is their tax-efficiency. Many RAs are offered with low
product fees and offer choice and flexibility.
You can stop and start
contributions without penalties, you can choose which underlying unit trusts to
invest in (as long as your selection complies with the asset allocation limits
for retirement funds prescribed by regulation), and switch between funds at no
extra cost.
However, you cannot usually access
your money until you turn 55. At retirement, a minimum of two-thirds of the
capital in your RA must be invested in a pension-providing vehicle.
An endowment
policy, meanwhile, also has certain tax advantages and while you are not bound
by retirement fund regulations, withdrawals and additional contributions are
It can be a good medium- to long-term investment for higher income
earners with a high marginal tax rate. But your money will be tied up for a minimum of five years.
Another option
for you is to invest directly in unit trusts of your choice. Unit trusts are a
cost effective way to invest in a wide range of assets, such as shares, bonds
and property.
While you are allowed to access your money at any time, it's best
to use unit trusts for medium- to long-term investment goals. If you go this route, you are not bound by
retirement fund regulations.
When it comes
to investment products, sometimes there may be multiple products that could
meet your needs.
If you are not comfortable making these decisions on your own,
or do not have the time to do so, it may be useful to engage the services of an
independent financial adviser.

PORTSMOUTH – After over 35 years in practice, 30 of them here on the New Hampshire Seacoast, well-known OB/Gyn Dr. Albert Lantinen will hang up his American Flag Converse sneakers at the end of this year.
Known affectionately for his unique choice of footwear in the delivery room (the American flag-patterned sneakers), his friendliness, optimism and expertise, Lantinen came to what is now Harbour Women's Health in 1984 from private practice in Maine. His retirement on December 31, will mark just under 40 years in practice and 30 years at Harbour Women's Health.
"I have grown connected to this community, this practice and our partners, colleagues and patients," said Lantinen. "I have so enjoyed and been enriched by the people I have met during three decades at Harbour Women's Health. While my retirement is bittersweet, I am content knowing that this is my time, especially in light of the wonderful changes that have taken place here at Harbour Women's Health in the last five or so years."
Since 2009, Harbour Women's Health has added Dr. Deeptha Sastry, a specially-trained urogynecologist, and Drs. Heidi Keup and Caroline Scoones to its roster of experienced, compassionate providers. And earlier this year, HWH welcomed long-time Seacoast OB/Gyns Dr. Sonja Nelson and Dr. Jean Ryan to the practice. Lantinen's senior partner OB/Gyn Dr. Mark Chag, who has practiced at HWH for over 25 years, will remain at the practice. The practice also has two women's health nurse practitioners.
"Words cannot express what it has meant for me to have Dr. Lantinen as a partner for almost 30 years," said Chag. "His clinical skills, work ethic and great sense of humor have made working with him so wonderful. I can't quite grasp not having him here at Harbour Women's Health, but I am excited for his next phase of life. He has truly earned it!"
In his nearly four decades as a practicing OB/Gyn, Dr. Lantinen has cared for thousands of women through pregnancy, menopause and other important life events.
He's cared for generations of women from the same families and delivered somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 babies. It's the delivering babies, he said, that he's enjoyed most of all.
"It's a magical event, having a baby," he said. "I've so enjoyed taking care of pregnant women and delivering their babies – and then delivering their babies! To see generations of families created and to be part of that...it's an experience that never gets old."
Many of those women remember Lantinen's sneakers and his tradition of wearing them during deliveries. In 1976, when his son was born, he bought a pair of the sneakers for $5. The shoes were in production to celebrate the country's bicentennial anniversary.
"My wife thought they were tacky, so I brought them into work and put them in my locker," said Lantinen.
Soon, he began wearing the sneakers when delivering babies; and his patients became attached to them.
"I once had a patient tell me, 'I don't remember much about my delivery, but I remember those sneakers!'" said Lantinen.
As for his retirement, the Portsmouth resident said he plans to stay busy. Lantinen sings in Portsmouth Pro Musica and a small off-shoot group, the Overtones. He plans to spend time with his son, Chas, and frequent the Portsmouth Music Hall and Seacoast Repertory Theatre with his wife, Holly. He enjoys woodworking and plans to do more of it.
Meanwhile, at HWH, patients of Lantinen's will be able to seamlessly transition to another provider, thanks to the practice's team approach, which ensures all patients have access to all providers and their expertise.
An online guestbook has been set up on the Harbour Women's Health website to allow patients, partners, colleagues and friends to leave a message or well-wishes for Lantinen. The guestbook may be found at: http://www.harbourwomenshealth.com/guestbook.php.
Harbour Women's Health was founded in 1976 and serves women of all ages. The practice is committed to delivering compassionate, personalized and expert care. For more information, visit www.HarbourWomensHealth.com or call 603-431-6011.

This engaging tale by Jacqueline Davies is "filled with real-life problems that relate to math, getting along with siblings and friends, [and] dealing with pride" (School Library Journal). Evan's little sister Jessie may be a smartypants, but he usually doesn't mind her. That is, until he hears Jessie's going to skip third grade and be in his year at school. Now, with tempers flaring, their friendly lemonade-selling competition is turning into an all-out war.
©2007 Jacqueline Davies (P)2011 Recorded Books,LLC
"Kids loved it!"
My boys asked to listen to it in the car! We are on the next book!
"Sibling Rivalry"
This is a cute story about how sibling rivalry gets out of control when the younger is advanced two grade levels and now they are in the same class. Oh no! There is no allowance for fair play when things turn into a war. The kids are highly competitive yet they also have a sense of companionship from the divorce of their parents. The kids finally work things out yet there are a few whopping crimes committed along the way.
"Interesting "
Narrator was amazing! The book was a little dramatic though. But overall it was good!
"Loved The Lemonade War!"
I loved this story and look forward to using it with my 5th graders during our economics unit. As I listened, I made note of several opportunities to stop for classroom discussions or to practice reading strategies.
"great kids book!"
This was a great kids book to read with my children 8 6 and 2
"I got hooked"
I turned on this book and went to play Trove a video game an I listened. After one hour I got bored and took a break. I came back and lost track of time, and finished the book in one day!!! Keep making more after the last book!!!!!!!!!🙂🙂😋🤗
"The lemonade war"
It's perfect my favourite book ever and the story was great

The re-release of seeds of a West Virginia tomato developed 50 years ago has been a hit with home gardeners.
The West Virginia University Extension Service began offering one free packet per household of the West Virginia 63 tomato seeds on March 4. Associate director Ann Bailey Berry tells the Bluefield Daily Telegraph that supplies already have been depleted.
Berry says the extension service received nearly 19,000 requests for the seeds as of Friday.
The blight-resistant tomato was developed at WVU as part of the state's centennial celebration in 1963. The seeds were re-released for this year's sesquicentennial celebration.

Star 100.7's TJ the DJ mixing it up with Diesel's V.I.P. Hostesses Haley and Katy at Saturday's Star Party-To-Go on the South Side.
As we get ready to close out 2010 let us look back on the top 10 remixes of the top 10 records of the year you heard both Friday and Saturday nights during, 'The Party To Go' on STAR 100.7! We count them according to your feedback from emails, Facebook, your texts and tweets! Just to make things.. a little different.. we threw out the records from 2009 (Ke$ha's – Tik Tok was technically the radio top 40 song of the year but according to one of our listeners feedback… that song was Sooooooooooo 2009!) and focus on only the stuff first heard during good ol 2010! Enjoy the list!
#10 Airplanes featuring Haley Williams – B.O.B. (Megaman & Panic City Remixes)
We kick off our top 10 with a HUGE hit from 2010! Airplanes crossed over all formats of radio all across the land and broke some records along the way! This record actually ranks the HIGHEST at #4 on our radio airplay charts but you the fans voted another way! It's cool? We like to be different and hey, we are Pittsburgher's we know what we like! Megaman and Panic City did a great job making this track up-tempo and accessible to a mix show like 'The Party To Go!'
#9 Billionaire – Travie McCoy / Bruno Mars (Full Tilt Remix)
We continue the countdown with the track we were singing along too during the oh so hot month of July! This infectious track has found its place as an instant classic!
#8 Teenage Dream – Katy Perry (Kaskade Club Mix and Liam Keegam Mix)
Mrs. Brand had a busy 2010 keeping the airwaves popping' and the dance floors around the world moving' to hit after incredible hit! Katy Perry was one part of the trifecta (alongside Ke$ha and Lady Gaga) who found themselves on lists like this one on multiple occasions.
#7 Just The Way You Are – Bruno Mars (Skrillex Batboi Remix)
For every Katy Perry hit on the radio this year there seemed to be a spicy track by Pittsburgh influenced Bruno Mars to go with it. Being named after the most famous Pittsburgh wrestler and Mars, Pennsylvania will help you get on this Pittsburgh guys top 10 list any day! Bruno Mars had so many career highs (and one awkward low) that he was a week in and week out regular on 'The Party To Go' throughout 2010
#6 Usher Featuring Pitbull – DJ Got Us Falling In Love (Jumpsmokers Remix)
Usher needing any boost to propel a hit record is like trying to find another option to put on a Bentley but telling the masses the DJ found you love tonight got me fired up the first time I heard this record! Usher Raymond had multiple hits as well during his 2010 run (but we will get to that next!) The guys from the Jumpsmokers (Roman, V-Skratch, Reydon and Johnny Digital) absolutely KILLED this remix which in this DJ's humble opinion ranks as one of the top mixes of the year!
#5 Usher – OMG featuring will.i.am (Almighty Remix)
Well look who we have here and back-2-back no less (just like we mix it during 'The Party To Go'!) Usher's initial hit of 2010 was peeking just as we were getting ready for a Memorial Day weekend here in the burg!
#4 Mike Posner – Cooler Than Me (Gigamesh Remix and Lunyp Remix)
I had the pleasure of meeting this talented fella (along with Travie McCoy) at this summer's Promo Only Summer Sessions Expo in Atlantic City right when this record was at its PEEK! Mr. Posner has had a hell of a year and with his current single on the rise I would bet to see him on this chart again in 2011!
#3 Enrique Iglesias – I Like It featuring Pitbull (DJ Chuckie Remix)
Besides giving some much-needed props to Pitbull for all his co-pilot roles on my top 10 list I only have two more words for you in regards to this track, this mix and the year 2010…. FIST PUMP!
#2 California Gurls – Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg (Manhattan Clique Extended Mix)
Who owns the rights to the song of the summer? Katy Perry does of course! You didn't have to be from California (or a 'gurl' for that matter) to realize how big this record was going to be. The song literally exploded overnight as the anticipation built on Katy's follow-up record.
#1 Taio Cruz – Dynamite (DJ Danny Diggz & DJ 2nd Nature Dutch Hybrid Mix and Nickey Romero Remix)
You know your songs a smash when you hear it blaring out of every NFL stadium across the country let alone Heinz field on a weekly basis. Taio Cruz was on a role with his previous hit (Break Your Heart) which actually landed him the #5 spot on this years Top 40 charts but we don't DO 2009 songs on this list! This song is certified GOLD for getting everyone and anyone on the dance floor and singing in your car stuck in traffic on the Parkway West! Congrats Taio, you are #1! Here is your trophy.. nice.. shiny!

"The events cf to-day havo justified
yesterday's expectation, and tne bedy
of Andrew Johnson has Inen buried iu
the presence of such crowds of people as
living he delighted to face and address.
The day opened gloomily, the town be
ing shrouded in mist, which, rising,
showed the mountains enveloped in
clouds. Many misgivings and fears
were expressed as to the weather, and
many hopes entertained that the day
would brighten. It did, and was all
that could nave been wished for tho oc
casion warm and somewhat sultry at
times, but alternating in sunshine and
shadow, and free from rain. Governor
Porter, Comptroller Gaines. Senator
Fowler, M. Burns, George White and
other Nashville visitors; Deputy Grand
Master Connor, of the Kuoxvhle com
mandery, and many lower East Ten
uesje&ns, arrived on tho morning trains
cn route to the house of a friend,
where they stopped. The carriage con
taining the governor and comptroller
s&ppei in front of the courthouse, and
they entered and visited the remains.
The tasterjmd industry of the ladles and
tho energy tvf the gentlemen of Greene
ville had unifbJ to make the dingy old
courtroom sadly beautiful and almost
a reliable place for the remains of
even an ex-President to lie in state.
The casket, plain but elegant, resting on
cofllu-stands in the midst of foliage
and flowers, was c!octl so that no part
of the body was visible, bat on it lay an
excellent steel engraving cf President
Johnson in a heavy gilt Masonic frame,
while upon the walls aud canopy posts
wero hung various portraits and en
gravings of the deceased. The regular
trains from the east, arriving at seven
and ten o'clock, brougbta largo number
of people from the up-country, and a
special train of seven cars from Kuox
ville at eleven o'clock brought a large
delrgition from that city, and many
from other towns along the route. Mean
while the citizens had been steadily
thronging the roads from all directions,
and before noon fully five thouaand per
sons were assembled to attend the burial.
At noon the family came from tho resi
dence to the courthouse. Greeneville
lodge brought the body out and placed
it in the nearse, when the procession
was formed and marched to the grave
under charge of the marshal and assist
ants, in the following order: Johnson
Guards, Patrons of Husbandry, Odd Fel
lows, German band and Dickinson
Guards, of Kuoxvilte; Masonic lodges
and chapters, hrsrto, bearing the body,
with pall-bearers attending, and
Kuights Templar as guards of honor;
family in carriages, Governor Porter,
other State officers and distinguished
guests members of the press, and laitly
citizens on foot and horseback. Special
coverings for the hearse and horses,
adorned with the varied Masonic insig
nia, had baen prepared for the occasion
by the undertaker. Among tho dis
tinguished visitore, not already men
tioned, were Judges M'Parland aud
Trigg, and Chancellor Key, Corgre3s
man M'Farland, Thornbergand Crutch
field, and Representatives Bullen, Tay
lor and Ledgewood, Colonel John Wil
liams, Colonel Luttrell, and Mayor
Staub, of Kuoxville, to whose industry
and energy in no small degree may be
attributed the large and respectable del
egation from that city. The grave is
on a hill, a half mile southeast of the
town, in view of and on the left of the
railroad as you go to Kuoxville. It Is a
natural mound about one hundred feet
high and commands a view of the
Unake range on the southeast or fifty
miles, while to the northwest may be
seen tho Bay, Clinch and possibly,
Cubarland mountain. Thither to the
music of the mournful the procession
moved, and was arranged in double cir
cle around the grave, leaving an open
space of about two hundred feet in di
ameter, including the family, Kuox
ville ;cotnrnandery, Knoxville glee
club and the governor and other
distinguished visitors. The Knights
then performed their beautiful funeral
ceremony under the lead of Commander
Woodward, and aided by the G'.ee club
and a brief abridgement of the Master
Masons' ceremony of burial was then
conducted with much feeling and
eloquence by D. G.M. Connor, aided by
the GreenevilIelodge, and amidst the
moans, and sighs and tears of tho be
reaved family the clods rattled upon tbe
cofiln liu of Andrew Johnson. His body
was committed to-the dust and his soul
tQtthe God vhogave it. Nothing what
ever of an unpleasant nature occurred
to mar the mournful harmony of the
solemn occasion. Order and quiet
reigned during the whole day, and tbe
respectful silence of the large concouree
of people ws a fee'iag tribute to the
memory of one who ranked gratitude as
the chiefest of human virtues. At three
o'clock in the afternoon the services
were concluded and tho orderly crowd
dispersed. At four o'clock tho trains
bore away most of the East Tennessee
visitors. The Nashville and Chattanoo
ga delegations left ou the eeveu o'clock
train, and Greeneville is left alone, to
mourn the less of her illustrious dead.

Our telegrams this morning an
nounce the death of Ex-President An
drew Johnson, which occurred at tho
residence of bis sister, in Carter coun
ty, Tennefcsae, at two o'clock yesterday
morning. Thu has passed away ono
of the most remarkable men of his time,
one of the mo3t notable examples of
self-elevation from obscurity to emi
nence which the history of this republi
can countrv affords.
Ho was a man of greater political j
strength than any other man in the
State, and in his death Tennessee has
lest one of her mot t idolized cit zeusand
ablest statesmen.
Chattanooga Timei '
A great man has fallen. No matter
how widely we may have differed, or
how bitterly we may have fought him,
nono can deny that Andrew Johnson
was a great man.
In all the high positions which he was
called upon to fill the taint of corruption
was not found upon his garments. No
man was ever exposed to more srarch
it g inspection than he as President dur
ing the impeaohment trial, aud yet no
charge was brought against him of cor
ruption. It "is too early to form a candid estimate
of the life of Mr. Johnson. He is a part
of the history of the United States, an
integral part of the State of Tennessee.
In after years, when all passion and all
prejudice have subsided, our posteri'y
win know and appreciate him better
than we do.
St. LouU Timcs.l
A notable man has Just fallen out of
the ranks of American politics, and to
sjree extent a remarkable and aggress
ive man. Osleasibiy a Damocrat, and
under all circumstances n piofessed wor
shipper at the shrine of the constitution,
he inflicted more wounds upon the or
ganization he belonged to than any
other leader connected with it, and
brought into mora general disrepute the
organic law he was so continually up
holding than all the balance of ths real
conspirators, who had neither his hon
esty to defend it nor his eminent oppor
tunities to preserve it from harm. Not
intentionally bad iu a political point of
view, nor conscious at any time ap
parently of the extremes be wa3 forcing
his party to occupy, his immeuse ego
tism warped his natural good sense aud
made powerful for mischief individual
gifts and abilities that might almost
have wrought miracles otherwise, if
properly directed and re3trainea.
Chicago Tribune.
Andrew Johnson was no ordinary
man. Indeed, he was an extraordinary
character. "His success was due to no
advantages of wealth, family or educa
tion. He was poor at the outset, and
remained comparatively poor to the
end. He was thrifty and sparing in his
expenditures. Ho was a man of great
natural abilities, which made them
selves conspicuous despite his illiteracy
and want of education; they enabled
him to surmount obstacles that were
fatal to others. Ho enjoyed the personal
confidence of his immediate neighbors,
and of the people of his SUto, and that
confidence had even a wider constitu
ency among tho American people.
There was ono particular in his charec
ter that should never be forgotten, and
which should serve as an incentive to all
classes, and especially tb men holding
public station, and that was his inflexi
ble personal honesty. No suspicion of
any ofllcial turpituJe ever existed of
Andrew Johnson; and it was to the pub
lic faith in hia integrity that he owed
the victories which he gained in his con
tests in his own State.
New Orleans Picayune.
Andrew Johnson was emphatically
a man of the people. It wa3 hi3 boast
that he sprung from the people. Self
made he was, and in this respect he in
vites the criticism due toone of tbe most
singular mental and moral natures.
Born in an humble station aud reared
to au humble trade, ho imbibed those
inveterate class prejudices whieh clung
to him through life, and which furnish
the key to much tha.t was contradictory
and objectionable in his public career.

But recently, the deceased etatesman
had been elected to the United States
senate from the State which had so often
honored him, her favorite 60D. Big
hopes arose in the minds of his fellow

country had been reached, and to the
stalwart Andrew Johnson all eyes were
turned as the man who would perform
a tremendous part in the task of rescu
ing the remaining liberties of the States
and people from the thraldom of an in
solent party. Alas! death, sudden and
terrible, snatches the great champion
from the etnt race of his countrymen,
and the expectant culpriU breathe more
freely; for they dreaded this raaa of fear
less spiiit and honest, patriotic heart.
The grave which Inclcsss tho remains
of Andrew Johnson covers one of whom
it ni3y be written that he served
his country faithfully; that no ill-gotten
gains stain his hands; that his country
men weep a bereavement, and that his
memory will be cherished with affec
tion and esteem.
Now 'Orleans Tlme.
In spite ot bis faults, he was a great
man. Throughout his whole career,
and judged by his cilicial conduct, his
bitterest enemies never questioned his
honesty and integrity. 1e took no
presents. He had no "family" to take
care of, and ho left the White House
poorer than he went in. Remember
that those were in flush times. The
"whisky ring" was in its power, and
like the Thracion king, all it touched
became gold. These were tbe days of
credit mobilicr, of subsidies, of jobs, of
claims. Immense fortunes were made
by many in a few months, and yet iu
all this riot of extravagance and coriup:
tion, the irrepressible Tennessean came
out with garments not having even the
taint of corruption on them. When
some friends desired to present him
with a carriage and horses, he
bluntly said it was "not proper
for the President to receive
any gifts, even from Lis old
friends " He was impeached because
he opposed the Radical policy of rec in
struction, which hrfs so eminently de
monstrated its entire failure in Lou
isiana, and returned to tho senate just
at the time when the majority of iho
American people bad praciically vindi
cated the soundness of his position.
When tho unprejudiced political history
of the last decade shall be written, An
drew Johnson will be the central figure
of his era. He was that noblest work
of God, an honest man.
Louisville Ledger.
A great man has fallen.
Say what we may of Andrew Johnson
and there are those who have thought
and said much of ill concerning him
none can deny that he wa3 a man of
extraordinary mental as well as phys
ical force. The United States has pro
duced no other man who, with so small
opportunities, acc implished so much.
Born injthe humblest walks of life, left
fatherless at the age of fjur years, ap
prenticed to tho tailor's trade us ten,
and serving his master until he
was seventeen, when, without a
dollar in his pecket, and never
having entered the portals of a sehool
hcuse, he undertook the task of support
ing his widowed mother and carving out
a destiny for himself. Impartial
history only can do justice to tho lives cf
the prominent actors in our war period.
That Mr. Johnson made eome grave mis
takes is unquestionable. A broad chris
tian charity would attribute these to e--rors
of judgment and not wrong inten
tions. Who that has held positions of
similar delicacy and responsibility has
not made mistakes? But we cannot en
large. Every man will estimate the life
and character of the dead statesman for
himself. His death at this time will be
regarded by his friends as amounting to
a public calamity. His position in the
a?nate gave him an opportunity to bring
to liht many of the outrages of Radical
ism, which may now escape exposure.
But he is dead.
By nature reticent and secretive,
rarely communicative even to his famil
Mrs, ho took ihe people cn masse into
his confidence and talked incessantly to
them of himself, his hopes and schemes,
his motives and purposes. Hs wa3 the
only politician who has appeared iu our
time whose belief in universal bullrage
equaled his professions. No man was
so sincere, because no ono was so isola
ted and so self-contained, as he was in
h's reliance on popuiar sovereignty.
He regarded every rival as as enemy.
He distrusted all who did not yield him
r:ady submieabn. He had no
friends srnong his peers, between whom
and himself a most cordial dislike exist
ed. His friends wero young men or ob
scure men; but these were admitted to
f ,-w or noneof his - crets. His secrets he
reserved for the people. Away down in
hia nature somewhere there wa3 a cbilu
llke. simplicity; ateuder compassion and
il Bvmnathv for suflerinir: a rebellious
i spirit of resistance to tyranny aud wrong,
t which, had the circumstances of his life
heen geatier, ana uau ms
receiveJ early traiuing, might have
develop3d a more lovable, fcS well as a
more heroic, character. A more Upright
man might not h? found; rudely direct;
uncouthly disingenuous; iur.cceiib!e t

No elabira'im of phrase- can carry with
more poignancy the sorrow of this sim

of cur ex PxesiJents, licwas atypp cf

was ambitious, but his uuibition sprung
from the desire to benefit his race and
country. In his whole public career
there was no stain upon his perfect in
tegrity of character. Hespurned bribes.
Hi- despised everything mercenary. He
would not receive gifts while in office.
His strong convictions were always ex
pressed boldly, and with no truckling,
time-sf rving tongue. The right, as he
saw it, was his guiding star, and with
this blazing beacon ho marched lorward
without deviation. Hie lesson of his
speeches, proclamations, messages and
letters was loyally to the law. The
spirit of the revolutionary fathers lived
in all his acts. When the
waves of fierce fanaticism roiled about
him and over him, his stalwart willi"d
fortitude were not broken. With folded
arms and bared breast he braved and de

a human wood" in manly consciousness
of his rectitude and faith in ultimate

Chicago Tlmes.l
Andrew Johnson was one of the most
remarkable products of this nation.
Biru aLd ' raised," as the southern
word is, iu poverty, ho arrived at the
ago of manhood with scarcely m ore than
the special education of a journeyman
t.iilor. s
Of courpe to have arisen from so low
au origin to the highest political station
in a nation of fortv millions, by the
sheer force of naturil faculties, argues a
man of no ordinary character. Mr.
Johnson was a very extraordinary char
acter, iu many respects. Nature en
dowed him with an enormous fund of
physical and mental energy. She "cut
him out" for a typicil American poli.
tician. In some way he made an early
discovery of the fact, aud thencefor
ward bent all his vast store of enevo' in
that direction.
Though the pre-emption law was real
ly tho most important achievement of
his public life, it was far from being that
which made him tho most famous. Few
even among his own countrymen know
that our homestead pre-emption system,
of which so many citizens, j ntive a ad
adipttd, have avai'ed themselves to ac
quire au interest iu the soil, was the
work of A. idrew Johnson; a man whom
alt the world has heard cf as the most
obstinate, impractical, turbulent :iud
null-headed President America has had.
It was doubtless his natural love of con
troversy and contest that assisted Mr.
Johnson in being au utterly uncompro
mising "Union man" at the outbreak of
tha pro-slavery rebellion. That his
Unionism was sincere and honest no
man ever doubted. His combativeneis
made it demonstrative and vigorous, as
well as hou23t, aud g-ve him a consid
culty throughout tho north which led
to hia elevation to the office of Vice-1
Ilectioe In MtrnjiIiU YeMcrriay.
In response to the call published in
the morning papers several hundred
citiz.iis assembled in Court equare at
four o'clock yesterday afternoon to take
preliminary a'eps toward a mass-meet-iiig
of tbe citizens of Memphis and
Sbe'hy county to pay proper tribute to
the memory of tne late Ex-President
Andrew Johnson.
On motion of Colonel M. D. L. Stew
art, Colonel Cbarle3 D. M'Lean was
unanimously chosen chairman of the
meeiiug, who accepted the call in tho
following terse and appropriate remarks:
Fellow-Citizens In accordance
with a time-honored custom, we have
as?embled in preliminary meeting to
pay the last tribute of respect tu the
memory of one of our most illustrious
ciVzma, Andrew Johnson, late Presi
dent of the United States, whose moital
remains are to lie this day committed
to the grave, at his long-cherished and
beloved home in East Tennessee. I
have known him for forty years, for the
greater portion of which period he has
heen prominently before the people of
Tennessee, cf the United States, and, in
fact, of the whole civilized world, where
is spoken the English lauguage. Ia all
the relations of his life he has sustained
tlio character of an incorruptible patriot,
and au honest man, from th-i humble
rank of a craftsman to the most exulted
position in the wr.rld. Wo meat here
to-day not to display fulsome adulation
of the distinguishe 1 dead, but to express
our heart-felt sorrow at our sincere be
reavement, in trie los3 of a man whoso
life has been devoted to the best inter
ests of his fellow-men, aud to the per
peSuatinii of tho great principles of civil
rind religious liberty enunciated by the
constitution of the United States, the
Magna Cbara of the new world.
Colonel M'Lean then assumed tho
chair, and

Sedalia, Mo., August 3. Damages
by the lato storm to the railroads run
niug through this place have been re
paired. Tne Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad completed repairs yester
day, having had a very large force at
work. Trains are now running from
Texas and Kansas promptly on time,
and special trains of stock and merchan
dise are passing night and day.
Dayton, August 3. 10 p.m. The
Miami and tributaries have receded
over four feet and aro running out rap
idly. The weather is still dismal and
drizzly. Small grains are badly dam
aged; tobacco used up; potatoes rottiDg,
and a narrow belt of corn considerably
damaged. Part of the big bridge across
theMiama, eight miles south of Day

five thousand dollars. Tho total dama
ges in Montgomery county to crop3 and
other property is estimated at half a
million dollars.
THE iFLOOD AT WHEELING.
Wheeling, W. Va., August 3.
Wheeling creek was higher yesterday
than ever known. The abutments of
the bridge two miles east of the city
were moved over a foot. At all points
along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
botween this city and Grafton, there is
great destruction of property and loss of
grain. The town of Farmington is al
most completely submerged, the water
being on the first floor of nearly all the
houses. A.nnrqb3S. of heavy landslides
have cccu;iaoh the railroad, and four
bridges were carried away on the Par
kersburg branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. Tne loss in staves,
dressed headings, logs and barrels car
ried away from the vicinity of New
Martinsville, in this State, will amount
to over one hundred thousand dollars.
AH the lowlands in this section are sub
merged. The river is now rising slow

feet. But little rain to-day.
the. inundation in OHIO.
Cincinnati, August 3. A Times
special f'.oru Chillicothe says that the
rain continues and the flood gains in
strength. Tha canal broke beiow the
city, and swept five thousand bushels of
wheat into the river. People living ix
the bottom lauds are removing their
families, fearing an inundation. At
I ronton the Ohio is rising five Inches
per hour, and ia also rising rapidly at
Cincinnati, where it has already invaded
the lower stories of houses on Water
street, and bids fair to go as high as ever
known before.
A special to tho same paper from New
Albany, Indiana, says that trains on
the New Albany and Chicago railroad
were taken off to-day. A; Gosport the
track is covered by the flood from White
river a distance of three miles. A heavy
forje of men is at work trying to prevent
the large railroad bridge from floating
away. The White river, at this point,
is twelve ftei higher than ever known
before. Trains south from Lafayette go
no further than Crawfordsvilie, as the
track is washed out in many places.
A dispatch to the same paper from
Athens, Ohio, says that at midnight the
river attained a hight of eight inches
over the greatest waters over known be
fore. The gasworks are flooded, and
people have to return to candles. The
people of the asylum, across the valley,
have built a boat, and ferry provisions
over, all other modes of communication
boing destroyed. No trains are running
on any of the roads, aud no mails have
arrived 6ince last Saturday.
Lafayette, Ind., August 3. The
flood iu the Wabash is more than a foot
above the high-water mark of 1855, and
several inches higher than ever before
since tho settlement of the country. All
the tributaries have been iunniug out
aud the low ground is all overflowed.
In many places the river is from three
to five miles wide. The damage is in
calculable. Great suffering must result
to tho tenants on the lowlands, whose
all is swept away. The Wabush bot
toms for au average of one mile and a
half and the whole length of the river,
aro submerged and the crops, both har
vested and growing, have been swept
away. Our city is located on high
ground and but slight damage has been
experienced, except to manufactories
and mills. Tho destruction of the Wa
bash and Erie canal, between here and
Fort Wayne, is complete. It is broken
in a hundred places. The canal and
river have been on a level for forty-eight
hours. The water of the river is rushing
through the latter and running over the
banks from one to the other at all the
low places. This will bo a terrible blow
to tho people of the State. It is impossi
ble to estimato any more accurately the
acreage submerged. The Louisville,
New Albany and Chicago railroad is
much damaged between here and tho
Battle Ground. The other railroads aro
all right. The portion of this city loca
ted on the west bank of the Wabash has
been cut off for two days by the water
overflowing the bridge anu levees, ai d
communication is only kept open by
ekifld. The river has fallen about two
inches and a half since seven o'clock
this morning and is still very slowly re
ceding. WESTERN TOBACCO CROPS.
Lotitsvllle Courier-Journal.
The rains have continued without the
intermission of a day, and the situation
is beginning to be viewed with grave
forebodings. The State can ill aflord to
fail again in so important a crop so soon
after tbe disaatioiw year of 1S74, but the
raius of the last six or eight weeks are
proving almost as damaging as a pro
tracted drouth, and if of much longer
duration will doubtless prove quite as
much so. Tho submersion of low lands,
which In many sections has worked
great individual iijury, is of less im
portance, as we have previously pointed
out, than the prevention of tillage
throughout the State, in lands of all de
scriptions, the thick growth ofgrapsand
weeds which the planter is unable to
check, and the extensive "frenching'
of the planus. The conditions of the
preient aud last season have been dia
metrically opposite, as 1S74 was the dry
est and 187o has been the wot
tcst season In the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. There is naturally
a disposition to discount too liber
ally the results of tuc-li a state of
things, hut we believe it te be a safe es
timate that the yield of the crop has
heen reduced definitely by the excessive
rains about twenty-live per cent., and
that, instead of a prospect of the largest
crop ever grown, peihaps we have a
promise of a light average yield. -This
estimate caunot be realized, however,
unless the weather soon changes for the
better. It may b added that the tame
weather conditions have prevailed in
the tobacco regions of Indiana, Illinois,
Tennessee, and portions of Ohio, the
whole section which produces what Is
known in the markets of the icorld as
Kentucky tobacco. During the last fort
night our exchanges also report tint the
Virginia crop has been injured, aud dur
ing the Week jus; closed it is stated that
a destructive storm has ewept over the
State, from the southern border to the
vicinity of Lynchburg, which has ma
terially impaired the quality of the crop,
if it ii3 not diminished the prospective
yield. '
Cairo Bulletin, Slstult.
When Wednesday's storm com
menced many predicted, and all hoped,
that it would be confined to this vicini
ty. But it was not to be. Indeed it
seems that it had spread over a consider
able belt before It embraced Evansville
in its course, and dunug the most of the
day and nearly all of last night the
waters came down in thousands of
drowned-out fields in this and adjoining
States, sweeping away in many places
ail that had been able to survive the
early rains. For days the prospect has
been going from bad to worse, and now,
with threaening weather, still, our
flooded low-lands, and a gradually
swelling river, It is impossible to fore
tell witti any Intelligence or reliability
what will be the end. We may be sure
that it will be bad enough. Many will
escape with slight loss perhaps, but with
the majority it will come in all the pro
portions of an awful disaster. It is no
longer a question of Which crop will
produce most in tho faco of such dis
couraging conditions, but which will es
cape utter destructiou. The wheat, over
a considerable belt, badly damaged be
fore, is utterly ruioed now. The tobacco
fares no better, and day before yester
day's storm has left the corn broken
and damaged in some places utterly
ruined. The meadows in all tho low
lauds are simply washed out beyond the
possibility of restoration. The river is
rising rapidly at all points from Pitts
burg to Cairo, and the flood in the
smaller streams Wabash, White river,
etc. is hacking up and getting beyonil
c introl. Our Patoka correspondent tells
U3 that if White rivor continues much
longer to swell at its present rate it will
burst through its banks and lay waste
one of the finest corn and wheat areas
in the State. The same is true of many
other points in our immediate vicinity.
Our reporters elsewhere give very fully
and accurately the result of careful in
vestigations along both sides of the Ohio
river above and below, from which it
will be seen that what the people along
the White and Wabaeh rivers anticipate
has already become a reality in the low
lands along the larger stream. Not only
are hundreds of farmers redding along
the rivers compelled to look on while
everything produced by a whole year's
labor is being snatched from tbrim, but
dczeu3 have been compelled to fly from
their threatened homes. This is the
story of the flood in its present attitude
and dimensions, and it is plain that the
next few days will add much to it. If
the rain 3 cease there is a chance that
the damage will not gj much beyond
what has already been sustained, but no
one can feel sure that there is a promise
even of this.

From an Occasional Correspondent.
Jordan's Alum Springs, July 28.
A modest advertisement cf this place
has appeared in your columns for eeve
ral weeks. Your correspondent, with
many other Memphians in quest of
health aud pleasure, finds himself tho
solitary representative of the Bluff City
at this, the mo;t delightful of all the
summer resorts that herald their claims
to the patronage of invalids aid seekers
of pleasure. Disclaiming any interest,
farther than acquainting your readers
who may be ignorant of the attractions
of this new and highly improved water
ing place,and of commending good man
agement to tho favor it deserves, he
would notice briefly some of the features
that make tho Jordan Alum par excel
leyce a homo for those who seek rest
Yfem the labors of business or profes
sional life. Possessing all the advan
tages of situation, in the miJtt of the
mountains, there are six alum springs,
varying in properties, and not dis
similar from tho famed wat
ters of the Rjckbridge Alum,
which are percolations from the same
bank of alum rock, a few hundred yards
below. In addition there is a very bold
spring of chalybeate water, and visitors
are also supplied daily with the iodide
alum water, so efficacious in giving re
lief from dispepsia. The improvements
have all been made in the last three
years, and are as elegant in style aud
comfort as any metropolitan hotel.
Persons who have had to endure the
scanty furniture and hard beds usually
found at such places, will appreciate the
woven-wire mattrans, so elastic that it
will respond to a gruut, and turn you
over if not resisted. Water, gas, elec
tric bells and sparkling fouutaics give
comfort and pleasure not elsewhere
found in the mountains. Then, the
guests are nottantalized by having their
appetites sharpened by the tonic waters
and find nothing to eat in the ordinary,
as is too often the caao at the more fash
ionable resorts. Let Memphians come
here if they want health, pleasure and
real comfort. This is not written as a
puff, but written in the hope that some
of my Memphis friends may find Jthe
most charming place in Virginia.
