Negro Struggle Enters New Era;
Legislation Not Enough, Says King
Only a small number of students
attended the coffee shop program
Saturday evening. The panel dis-cussion
concerned tuition costs at
Bethel, focusing particularly on the
possibilities for a "Guaranteed Tu-ition
Plan" at Bethel College. Mod-erated
by Mr. Owen Halleen, the
other panel members were Presi-dent
Lundquist, Mr. Ken White,
Comptroller, and students Jim
Keim and Art Blessing.
Of the approximately 1000 ac-credited
institutions of higher
learning in the country, only 39
are on a "guaranteed tuition plan"
according to Mr. White. Nearly
all the colleges in the vicinity of
the Twin Cities have a plan of
this type, except Bethel, Concor-dia
Teacher's College and St. Paul
Bible College, although Macalester
and St. Thomas are discontinuing
their plans.
At near-by Hamline University
about 85% of the student body
are currently enrolled in their
voluntary plan. The basic advan-tage
for students is that they can
plan realistically on what their
education is going to cost them in
dollars. An advantage for t h e
school is that the drop-out rate is
lowered—Hamline has experienced
a marked retention of students
since the plan was adopted.
Although Bethel's retention rate
is also rising, students who drop
out from Bethel list lack of fin-ances
as their major reason. It was
also brought out that many upper
division courses have only a hand-ful
of students. The administration
does look favorably on considering
a guarantee plan, but it is up to
students to show interest in this
idea and press for its adoption at
disparity of the high tuition in the
Another major problem discus-sed
concerned the fear that Bethel
will be come a school for the "el-ite"
of the Conference with con-tinued
tuition increases. President
Lundquist and the Board of Trus-tees
share this same fear and are
seeking answers to this problem.
One thing which puts Bethel at a
disadvantage when compared to
other schools is that our income
from endowment funds is relative-ly
low because of the smallness of
our denomination and the fact that
Bethel has only been on a full col-
Although many financial aids
and loan plans are available, they
are not keeping up with the rapid
rise of educational and tuitional
costs. The competitive nature of
faculty salaries across the country
is also helping to increase costs at
There were perhaps four rea-sons
for the lack of interest shown
in the program Saturday: Students
at Bethel are not in any need of
financial help; many were at the
Peter, Paul, and Mary concert;
there was no on-campus activity
earlier Saturday evening to pro-vide
a "carry-over crowd"; or stu-dents
just do not know what a
guaranteed tuition plan is.
Kickapoo Jubilee, a musical ex-travaganza

The program is based on an im-aginary

Mountains of the South. Elaborate
set construction is planned for the

will be the Sabathini Baptist Choir,

Dr. Martin Luther King, Baptist
minister and well known civil
rights leader, spoke to students
last Thursday afternoon on the
mall of the University of Minneso-ta
St. Paul campus. The relaxed
and docile crowd was without dem-onstators
except for one student
who carried a placard with the
stirring message: Truth, Justice,
Freedom, Peace.
After expressing his gratitude
for being able to be in Minnesota
on a warm day, Dr. King launched
into a discussion of what he con-siders
to be three basic issues that
we must grapple with today.
The first of these issues is rac-ism.
King lamented that the civil
rights advances of the decade have
done little to better the conditions
in the north or penetrate the
depths of Negro depression. While
legal and legislative victories have
been won, the struggle now must
focus upon obtaining genuine e-quality
for the Negro and solving
his social and economic problems.
"The Negro," King stated, "is
going through a major depression,"
and if all Americans shared his po -
sition, the United States would
find itself in a far graver situation
than it experienced during the

plight, it is necessary to do more

The program is an attempt to
pull coffeeshop reconstruction cost
out of the red side of the ledgers.

over from last year's program,

cal anti-Mao party forces on their
return home."
Wang is the first defector to
reach the West with the inside
story of the Red Guard movement.
He paints a picture of hunger, di-sease
and chaos in Peking, where
he went at the urging of wall
posters to hear Mao speak. He says
that it took him and his compan-ions
five days to travel the 700
miles to Peking from their village
of Manchouli, a town of 20,000 on
the Soviet border.
In Peking, he writes, he and
thousands of other teen-agers were
jammed into the Workers' Sta-cont'd
on page three
translate a concern for equality
and justice into positive action.
King repeater his conviction that
non-violence is "still the most po-tent
weapon for the Negro in his
struggle." We should not only con-demn
riots, but more important,
the conditions which cause riots.
King believes these conditions can-not
be improved until the ghetto
has been dispersed. Priority should
be given to legislation which makes
discrimination in housing uncon-stitutional.
A second issue which faces us
today is that of poverty. We have
instruments and the wealth to abol-ish
poverty but lack the will to do
it. To alleviate world poverty, Dr.
King suggested the developed na-tions
contribute 2 percent of their
anuual gross national product to a
fund for aiding underdeveloped
countries. To abolish poverty at
home he proposed that the gov-ernment
guarantee an annual in-come
for all families.
War, specifically the war in Viet
Nam, was the third issue King
chose to discuss. Not only is our
present course diverting attention
from the civil rights movement, but
it is "politically suicidal" and "mor-ally
wrong." We see ourselves as
"the messianic, divine policeman
of the whole world." Referring to
Gen. Westmoreland's recent ap-pearance
before Congress, he re-marked
that "we don't need gen-erals
to come back home and cre-ate
a climate for escalation." (Ap-plause)
Not wishing for his dissent to
be equated with disloyalty, Dr.
King claimed that the dissenter is
actually the serviceman's best
friend because he disagrees with
"our boys . . . being killed in a
futile, bloody war." (more clapping)
In closing Dr. King defended his
stand on Vietnam by explaining
that the issues of war and civil
rights are tied together. "I can't
segregate my morality. . .Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice

President Lundquist
said that this is under discussion
periodically since the philosophy
of Bethel tends to look at all of
life as a "calling of God."

Former Red Guard Youth Escapes
Gives Candid Look At Revolution
Monday's Chapel Reveals
Weakness In Campus Life
Any full blooded, robust, Bethel-size Christian would have
a few words to say about Monday's chapel. Comments range
from stupified stutters to scalpel sharp criticism. There is one
thing however that seems to characterize all that has been
said — it has all sprung from ignorance.
This reaction reveals clearly two things about the Bethel
community. One, for most of us students, the liberal arts has
not really liberated us from culturalism. Or perhaps better
said, the liberal education has not allowed us to look objective-ly
at alien phenomena. This results, in turn, from two things,
a faulty approach to this kind of education, and secondly, the
fact that we are never liberated from our provincial heritage.
Much as we wish it would, the liberal arts cannot possibly
program a man or woman so as to understand every situation
in life. But its pupose is to cultivate a state of mind that is
openly receptive to exotic (that is unusual, that which lies
outside our "normality") life not as an oddity, but as a func-tional
reality in a lively society. When the liberal arts has
led its student to this peak, it has accomplished its wildest
The information and knowledge that flows freely in class-rooms
every day is not intended to be a free agent. It is in-tended
to stimulate the growth of the liberal mind, and to serve
it in encounter with life. It is lamentable that our society has
lost sight of this ultimate goal in the face of a ballooning ob-session
with knowledge. This illegitimate love affair has serv-ed
to cloud our vision, our perception, our ability to understand
and perceive. Perhaps this is our greatest weakness in liberal
arts that we have allowed knowledge to become our god. And
this weakness issues directly from the segregation of life from
knowledge. (See the editorial in the April 20, 1967 issue of
There is nothing evil about our heritage. It is in fact what
makes us all unique. It can serve as a tool toward un-derstanding
others. What would we be without our own self
consciousness in terms of our experiences? But when our ful-crum
on life has become its own reason for being, we will
become consumed, destroyed in the fire of pride. This sickness
turns peace into war, love into hate, understanding to ignor-ance,
acceptance to a sneer.
There is a second observation we can make about our-selves.
We all have rather miniscule understanding about
what it means to be Christian. For most of us the 'gospel'
has become an American product, planted by America, nur-tured
by America, and sometimes we even feel that America
gives the plant the growth. When the tree bears its fruit
we slap on a Chiquita brand sticker and peddle it around.
Any fruit without the sticker goes to the garbage incinerator.
The fruit of the Spirit is not the sticker. The fruit of the
Spirit is the fruit itself. God has nothing to do with the sticker,
that is something of our own concoction. God gives the growth,
be that to a seedless or seeded variety of fruit.
When the sticker becomes our god just as knowledge has
become our obsession, we will find ourselves in a worse plight
than the blind men and the elephant. We must give them credit
for discovering more than one part of the elephant, at least.
Borner Congratulates Sammons;
Victory In Senate Race Lauded
Mao's Book Guides Chinese Future
Quotations From Mao Tse-Tung—Bantam Extras, New York
The "little red book" has by now become a symbol
of China's Red Guards and Mao's cultural revolution.
Although Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung
is by no means a complete anthology of his works, it
does present the reader with quotations from speeches
which Mao has made on any topic from "Culture
and Art" to "People's War."
The basis of Mao's thought can be traced to
Marxist-Leninist teachings, but his interpretation of
these writings reflects his own experience with using
these writings. Mao introduced the idea that the pea-sants
rather than the proletariat were to be the
vanguard of the revolution. Professor A. Doak Bar-nett
states that Mao also places a greater stress on
the role of human will in history than have other
Nowhere does Mao rationally outline any par-ticular
theory. He instead tries to give practical guide
lines by which the communist can organize and direct
his own life and the future of China. Many inconsis-tencies
appear in Mao's thought as he attempts to
give direction to various problems. Such is the case
when in 1957 he advocated that communist countries
should let ". . . a hundred flowers bloom and a hun-dred
schools of thought contend . . . to promote the
progress of the arts and the sciences", whereas during
the present cultural revolution the arts are being
suppressed because they are signs of a decadent,
capitalist society.
Another interesting aspect of Mao's thought is
the way in which he relates theory to practice. Theory
is completely dependent upon practice and its func-tion
is to serve practice. The emphasis on the practical
nature of theory rather than theory as an abstract
philosophy makes theory a "weapon" in the commu-nists'
attempts to revolutionize the world.
The importance of the book lies in the fact that
it is a guide book. The communist ideology is a
prescriptive ideology. Mao's sayings become a prac-tical
guide for dedicated revolutionaries in their ef-forts
to conduct "uninterrupted revolution."
The present appeal of Quotations from Chairman
Mao Tse-Tung which has placed it on the world's
best-seller list is because it is related to a current
struggle. Readers have been hearing about the Red
Guards for many months but, only recently was this
book published in English. Because QUOTATIONS
from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung is written in a very
clear and simple English, it is available for all to
read and gives a "taste" of Mao's thought to those
who might not want to attempt to read a lengthier
or more detailed volume of Mao's writings.
Bethel Campus Planning Committee
Decides On New 'Cluster Concept'
Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, May 4, 1967 Tgook Rebiew
Fellow Students and Cohorts:
Instead of writing countless ar-ticles,
I decided to write a letter
synthesizing all that I would like
to say.
1. I congratulate Leonard Sam-mons
and those who voted for him.
Most people on campus who think,
realize that Bethel politics would
be dead without him. People ask
if there are any politics to worry
about. We make them.
2. I thank the other twelve pto-ple
who voted for me and elected
me to be treasurer of the Junior
Class for next year.
3. Last Thursday, Dr. Martin Lu-ther
King spoke at Moo U. As a
speaker, he was very enjoyable to
listen to. Other than that, he said
nothing really profound. He would
rather have the government spend
more to put "God's children on
their feet" on the earth if they
can spend billions to fight an un-just
war and try to send a man to
the moon. He has lost favor with
some people recently because of
his stand on the War in Viet Nam.
He feels, however, that the war is
tied with his cause of racial equal-ity
and economic security for all
because he is fighting for these
things for all mankind. The person
who demonstrates against the war
is a better friend of our soldiers
than we who support the war ef-fort.
Still he denounces the more
militant approach to end racism.
4. Saturday, at the "Opportuni-ties
Unlimited" Conference spons-ored
by the Republican Party, Sen-ator
Howard Baker, Jr., of Tennes-see,
spoke much more articulately
than King. The main emphasis of
the whole conference was involve-ment.
Baker stated that America
isn't ruled by the majority, but by
a majority of those who make the
effort to be heard. He supports
those who dissent if they do so
in an intelligent manner and try
to improve a stuation instead of
tearing down existing conventions.
5. I'm sorry that I am unable to
be a Bethel delegate to hear Dr.
Carl McIntire this Friday night due
to the fact that I am going to an
evangelistic meeting in my home
church in Hastings. Anyone inter-ested
in either, may contact me.
Unbiasedly yours,

Undoubtedly the busiest com-mittee
on campus at present is
the College Campus Planning Com-mittee.
Their June 1st target date
for the completion of space plan-ning
is fast approaching. Depart-ment
heads and committee mem-bers
are busy making last minute
decisions on how much space, what
kind, and how many each depart-ment
will need. Question: Will the
Physical Education department get
a swimming pool?
The College Campus Planning
Committee was organized in 1965
after the completion of the Semi-nary
complex. Dr. Walter Wessel
of the Christianity department as-sumed
the responsibilities of chair-man
in January after the death of
Dr. Quentin R. Bohne who served
from 1965. Mr. Philip Carlson, as-sistant
professor of mathematics,
and committee member presently
on sabbatical leave, will act as
chairman during the next school
year while Dr. Wessel is on sab-batical.
Other members of the committee
are Dr. Robert Berglund, Dr. Roy
Dalton, Dr. D. Fagerstrom, Dr.
James Rodgers, Mr. Eugene John-son,
and Mr. Owen Halleen. Also
sitting on the committee are Pres-ident
Lundquist, Mr. Burton Wess-man,
and Mr. Webster Muck. Stu-dent
representative is senior, Ron
The basic task of the committee
has been the revision and refine-ment
of initial plans laid down in
1964 by the architects and a small
committee of college admniistra-tive
and faculty representatives.
The basic philosophy is the integra-tion
of learning and living; stu-dents
and faculty. Building design
and campus layout are usually not
thought of as crucial to the im-plementing
of a philosophy o f
learning. But one short conversa-tion
with a committee member will
reveal just how crucial it really
is — enough so, that the Planning
Committee has committed them-selves
to what is called, the "clus-ter
For Bethel this will mean four
or five collegiate halls containing
a central academic core. An April
20th report to the committee ex-plains:
"Each collegiate hall would pro- .
vide study-living facilities for ap-proximately
300 to 400 students.
Women's and men's dormitories
would be immediately related to
common lounges, study spaces,
advisory and counseling offices,
. . . and perhaps some faculty or
academic offices."
Students would be grouped in
these halls according to their ma-jors,
the intention being to inspire
dialogue and general sharing of
common interests. The above men-tioned
report states, "Potentially,
education becomes a round the
clock experience — a way of living
which claims the student's full
time and attention."
The cluster concept is not the
only new and exciting possibility
for the Arden Hills campus. In the
planning stages are a Social Sci-ence
Research Center; a psycholo-gy
laboratory with eight testing
rooms, a statistics lab and observa-tion
room; and a micro-biology lab-oratory.
Also being considered is
closed circuit television that will
allow Bethel to offer courses trans-mitted
from the University of Min-nesota.
D.A.I.R.S. is short for an-other
new idea being discussed.
The Dial Access Information Re-trieval
System is an electronic de-vice
that will enable students to
make up or review their lectures
and class room discussions in much
the same way a language labora-tory
works. Finally, and most rev-olutionary,
all vigorous sports fans
will be glad to hear that Miss Starr
is planning underwater sports for
the winter time.
Campus plans are by no means
complete. Every conceivable prob-lem
and situation needs to be con-sidered
to make the new campus
totally effective for training Chris-tian
young people for their vari-ous
professions. The architects and
faculty fully realize the need for
student suggestions and opinions
to reach the ideal they seek. "We
are open to any kind of student
suggestion," Dr. Wssel stated. This
conviction has already prompted
two Senate meetings, held on April
18, and April 25.
At the first session, Dr. Wessel
explained the plans and concepts
that were being considered. At the
second, Mr. Duane Grande of the
firm of Grande and Peacock, cam-pus
architects, listened to student
ideas presented by their represent-atives.
Dormitories, the library, stu-dy
areas and parking were discus-sed.
Of main concern however, was
the student center. Two conclu-sions
reached were: 1) the students
want a building entirely their own
with no administrative offices or
classrooms; and 2) the dining fa-cilities,
to be housed in the center
should be diversified in both decor
and food selection. Most felt that
the center should contain, among
other things, a bowling alley, a
barber and beauty shop, and plenty
of general recreation room.
The latter was also suggested for
the outside campus. "Around here,
we can't do anything because we'll
ruin the grass." One optimistic
student proposed a nine-hole golf
course. Dreamer!
The invitation for opinions is
open. Ron Harris and the various
committee members are awaiting
your suggestions. Got any ideas?
The Chamber Chorale, a small
group of interested choir mem-bers
under the direction of Dr.
Berglund, is giving a concert on
Monday, May 8th, at 8:00 P.M. in
the college auditorium.
This is a new group on campus,
having been started last year. The
group is an attempt to accomodate
to music not suitable for larger
choirs. Included in the choir's num-bers
will be Mozart's Missa Brevis
and a song cycle by Earl George
called the Songs of Innocence with
selected lyrics from the work of
William Blake, famed English poet.
Another part of the concert will
be a presentation by the Bethel
Chamber Orchestra under the di-rection
of Julius Whitinger, also
a relatively new campus musical

The time has come to end the military draft.
That bold declaration will startle many. But when all the facts are
in, and all the current and projected needs for military manpower
have been taken into account, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that
America does not need the draft, America can afford not to have the
draft, and America is overdue in bringing to an end this drastic inva-sion
of the lives and liberties of her young men.
Congress is now beginning to debate President Johnson's legislation
to extend the draft another four years. In years past Congressional
examination of this issue was perfunctory. This year things are different.
Thanks no doubt to the heightened awareness of America's young
people, whose lives the draft so seriously affects, many in Congress
are now for the first time rethinking the premises upon which the
draft is supposedly based. An increasing number of them are finding
it sadly out of step with both our Nation's traditions and with its military
manpower needs.
We must never allow ourselves to forget that however pressing the
circumstances, the draft is involuntary servitude. It is legitimate and con-stitutional
when Congress, exercising its power to raise and support
armies, has no reasonable alternative. But conscription must always
be the last desperate resort for meeting military manpower needs, not
the cheap and easy expedient.
The only real argument for having an involuntary draft is that the
Nation could not reasonably afford to raise and retain the needed
military manpower without it. I maintain that the Nation can afford
to eliminate the draft. In doing so we will restore lost liberties. We can
end once and for all the inherent inequities of a compulsory system.
We can upgrade our armed forces and increase our national security.
And we can do it at a price this rich and powerful Nation can easily
There is no numerical shortage of manpower for filling military
ranks. Each year nearly four times as many men as the military needs
enter the draft age pool. With more realistic service qualifications and
sharply increased wages and fringe benefits, and with an enhanced
status for military careers, we can attract the 500,000 men we need each
year, even at Viet Nam buildup level.
All we have to do is to make up our minds that we are going to
stop exchanging precious liberties for false economy—false because,
when the total economic costs of the draft system are taken into account,
including civilian wages foregone by draftees, we may well be saving
nothing at all. And this calculation fails to take into account the
qualitative value of skilled career specialists serving in crucial military
positions now filled by reluctant draftees.
From the standpoint of individual liberty, equity to all, the enhance-ment
of national security, and the total economic costs, the draft fares
badly in comparison with an all-volunteer armed forces system.
How do we get from the present draft to the volunteer army?
First we must unequivocally reaffirm our commitment to the goal
of voluntary armed forces. The draft should be extended for one or at
the most two years. During that time the Defense Department should
embark on a program designed to make the draft increasingly unneces-sary.
A special joint committee of Congress—independent of the Defense
Department and the Selective Service System���should be set up to make
recommendations for a phasing out of the draft, and to maintain a
continual review of the Defense Department's progress toward that goal.
And military pay and fringe benefits should be raised substantially,
starting now.
It is time we made the firm decision to put an end to inequity,
put an end to uncertainty, put an end to inefficiency, and regain for our
young people the liberties the draft has taken from them.

The match with River Falls was
another story. The golfers from

On Tuesday, April 25, Bethel met
Augsburg on the home court. Af-ter
four hours of action the team
groped off the courts with a
4-4 tie under their belts.
In singles action, both Bill
Peterson and Gary Hasselblad
won handily in two sets while
Tom Hulst battled to a 5-7, 7-5,
8-6 victory. In doubles, the team
of Bill Peterson-Craig Anderson
won 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, Tom Hulst-

Bethel baseball finally awakened from its lethargic slum-ber
last week. Aftes a series of inept efforts that would make
even student senate appear productive, the Royals finally dis-covered
the true meaning of offensive in the context of batting
Prior to the past week's Concordia and Hamline outings,
Bethel's offense had shown less punch than an early morning
joke. Eskimoes have hit for better averages using icicles,
and Kalahari pygmies have generated more power with impala
When the Bethel boys finally started handling their bats
more like warclubs instead of grandma's heirlooms, results
were impressive. The Royals knocked 26 runs across the plate,
and notched two much needed victories.
Fielding is supposedly the Royal's strong suit. The team
is strong up the middle, and the infield is particularly well
supplied with accomplished fielders. The team, as a whole,
boasts some of the finest glovemen, from the neck down, that
you'll find in college ball. Mental boners and carelessness have
cost a couple of games in the early going.
Even with consistent hitting the team needs a "stopper" on
the pitching staff to become a topflight club. The mounds
corps has two or three adequate starters, but the staff has less
depth than a campus mud puddle. Wildness has been another
problem. Most of the hurlers have exhibited less control than
the Edgren RAs.
The outlook for the remainder of the season is questionable.
Without steady hitting the squad has less chance than a cup
of coffee at a Swedish housewarming. If the pitching folds,
they'll be wiped out faster than weiners at a Boy Scout picnic.
But chances are that enough of the "questionables" will come
through to help the fans forget the Royals' miserable start.

The Bethel Baseball Team non-chalantly
extricated themselves
from their unexorable batter's
slump as they administered a pro-fuse
amount of offense to their
last two foes. Last Thursday they
came from behind to inflict defeat
upon Hamline 13-10. Trailing seven
to five coming into the top of the
fifth inning, Bethel garnered five
runs on three htis to make things
look a bit rosier. In the eighth
inning, another seven runs scamp-ered
across the plate. Hitless in
the first three innings, Bethel ac-cumulated
twelve in the remain-ing
six. Bob Nolin delivered a four
bagger for one of his two hits.
Tim Daniels continued swinging
the lumber with authority a n d
picked un three hits. Besides Nolin,
Muck, Cox, and Englund cracked
the Hamline Hurlers for two hits.
Bob Jackson started and was re-lieved
by Dan Gross who earned
the victory.
May Day was more like Ground
Hog Day in terms of the weather,
but, Bethel ground the Concordia
team with another 13 run attack
which was enough to make them
holler May Day. Despite 11 free
passes and four hit batsmen, Con-cordia
only pulled out of the game
with fivt runs. The big inning in
this game was the seventh. Spark-ed
by Tim Daniels' circuit, the
Royals crossed home plate eight
times. John Carmean was the win- ,
ning pitcher, aiding his cause with
a couple of hits. Terry Muck hoist-ed
his season's average to .421
with two more hits. The bright
spot of the game was the hitting
of Alarming Al Selander as he
raised his batting average almost
one hundred points—to .230 as he
stroked three hits.
Thursday, May 4, Bethel will be
entertained by Stout State. With
St. John's University won the sec-ond
annual Bethel Relays on a
windy Saturday afternoon at Ram-sey
High School. The team scores
were: St. John's 98, Bethel 87 1/2,
Hamline 86 1/2 , Gustavus Adolphus
78, Concordia 60, and Augsburg 21.
Near the half-way point of the
meet the Royals were in fifth place,
and appeared to be in trouble. As
the results from the field events
came in, however, the thinclads
overtook all but the Johnnies. In
the triple jump Jim Hammar and
Bill Malyon teamed to take first
place, and thrust the Royals ahead
of Hamline and Gustavus. Martin
Lundy of St. John's leaped 42 feet
2 inches to set a meet record,
but since team totals were used,
the Royals won this event. Earlier
Hammar and Malyon won the long
jump title. With the stiff wind,
which was so strong that pole vaul-the
momentum they have now gain-ed,
they should continue on a me-teoric
rise from their mediocre
status after the first eight games.
Comparisons have been made be-tween
Bethel and the Minnesota
Twins. They can be expected to
finish strong.
Fred Swedberg and Bob McDon-ald
took the javelin with com-bined
throws of 328 feet 7 1/2 inches.
Swedberg's throw of over 169 feet
broke the old record that McDon
ald had set at Carleton the week
before. Swedberg and Marvin John-son
finished fifth in the shot put,
and fourth in the discus.
The 880-yard relay team of Dave
Pound, Dave Moss, McDonald, and
Hammar, and the shuttle hurdle
relay team of Andy Lehman, Craig
Peterson, and Malyon were Bethel's
only second place finishers. Third
place finishes were recorded by
the mile relay, 440-yard relay, 2
mile relay, and sprint medley
teams. Jim Hammar also took third
in the 100-yard dash behind St.
John's Dave Lamm who ran a wind
assisted 9.5, and Ron Bergman was
third in the pole vault at 11 feet
6 inches.
Andy Lehman turned in a blis-tering
15.2 in the first heat of the
120-yard high hurdles, but in the
finals finished fourth. Rich Swan-son
came from behind in the two
mile to take Bethel's only other
fourth place.
The Bethel Relays was the team's
best performance of the year and
lifted their overall record to 5
wins and 8 losses.

Three Steps to the Hubble Constant
Hubble measurements have simplified the cosmic "distance ladder," which is needed to calculate a more precise value for the universe's expansion rate, called the Hubble constant. At select host galaxies, Cepheid variable stars – known as reliable milepost markers – are cross-calibrated to Type Ia supernovae in the same host galaxy. The new technique reduced the distance ladder to three "rungs": (1) The distance to galaxy NGC 4258 is measured using straightforward geometry and Kepler's laws; (2) Cepheids in six more distant galaxies are used to calibrate the luminosity of Type Ia supernovae; (3) The Hubble constant is measured by observing a brighter milepost marker, Type Ia supernovae, in more distant galaxies hundreds of millions of light-years away, embedded in the expanding universe.

Choosing circular saw blades
Most saw blades are designed to work best in certain types of cutting operations, such as ripping or crosscutting lumber or cutting veneered plywood or melamine. What a blade does best is determined by the number of teeth, the type of gullet (the space between the teeth for clearing chips), the tooth configuration and the hook angle (angle of the teeth).
Crosscut: These blades have more teeth (typically 60 to 80) set at a moderately aggressive angle with shallower gullets. Usually they're configured with an alternate top bevel (ATB) – meaning that the teeth alternate between a right- and left-hand bevel, forming a knife-like edge on either side of the blade – or a triple-chip grind (TCG), in which flat-top teeth alternate with higher teeth chamfered on both sides. They excel at making smooth, splinter-free cuts across the grain of solid wood.
Rip: These blades have fewer teeth (24 to 30) set at a more aggressive angle with deeper gullets to allow for faster stock removal. They often also come in ATB or TCG configuration, and they excel at cutting with the grain.
Combination: As the name suggests, these blades are designed to work well for both ripping and crosscutting. They typically have 50 teeth set at a moderately aggressive angle that are arranged in groups of five: one flat-top tooth and four ATB teeth, with smaller gullets within the groups and a larger gullet between the groups. A good choice for woodworkers who want to be able to perform a variety of cutting operations without having to change blades.
General purpose: These blades are designed to deliver great results in most applications, including cutting solid wood, plywood, laminated wood and melamine. They typically have 40 teeth set at a moderate to aggressive angle with either an ATB configuration or a HiATB configuration (in which the angle of the bevels is steeper). The number of teeth and the depth of the gullets combine to provide both adequate stock removal and clean cuts. Another good choice for woodworkers who want to be able to perform a variety of cutting operations without having to change blades.
Cutoff: These blades are designed specifically for crosscutting with miter saws and radial arm saws. They have a high tooth count and ATB or HiATB configuration. Specific blades are available for sliding compound miter saws/radial arm saws and stationary miter saws.
Specialty blades: These blades are designed for cutting specific materials, such as veneered plywood, plastics and laminates, melamine and non-ferrous metals.
Choosing bandsaw blades
Several considerations should guide your selection of a bandsaw blade:
Blade length: Check the owner's manual that came with your machine.
Blade width: This is the measurement from the tip of the tooth to the back of the blade. In general, you want to select the widest blade your saw will allow for a given situation because wider blades are less likely to deflect during the cut. But blade width ultimately depends on whether you will need to cut curves and on how tight those curves will need to be. The tighter the curve, the narrower the blade will need to be. Wider blades work for well for gentler curves and resawing work.
Blade style or form: This refers to the arrangement of the teeth.
Standard-tooth blades typically have a large number of teeth close together. They provide smooth cuts but require a slower feed rate, making them especially well-suited to crosscutting operations.
Skip-tooth blades have fewer teeth, and they're spaced more widely (as if every other tooth has been skipped). They allow a faster feed rate but don't cut as smoothly as a standard-tooth blade. They're often used as a sort of general-purpose blade.
Hook-tooth blades typically have a low tooth count, and the gullets between the teeth are machined at an angle that makes this type of blade the most aggressive at cutting. It's the best choice for ripping and resawing.
Blade TPI or pitch: This is the number of teeth per inch. The higher the TPI, the smoother the cut but the slower the feed rate will need to be. It's important to match TPI to the thickness of the material being cut. (At least three teeth – but not more than 20 – must be in the workpiece at any given time during the cut to avoid blade damage.) A 3 TPI blade works well for resawing and cutting thicker stock. A fine-toothed blade (18 to 32 TPI) should be used for thin stock. For 3/4" stock, use a 4 TPI blade for faster cutting and a 14 TPI blade for a smoother finish coming off the saw.
Choosing jigsaw blades
Typically, you'll want to choose a blade designed for your cutting situation. Blades for different applications are available, with blade material, tooth count (TPI) and tooth set optimized for those situations. You'll also want to keep in mind what type of blade shank your jigsaw requires for mounting, as well as the thickness of the material you'll be cutting. The blade should be at least 1" longer than the thickness of the material.

Are you looking for the best Medigap insurance in Leck Kill, PA? We can help you find affordable and quality Medicare Supplemental Insurance in Pennsylvania. You can either call 888-602-5343 or enter your Zip Code above and fill out the form. We will help you find the best Leck Kill, PA Medigap insurance options.Buying Medigap, or Medicare Supplemental Insurance, is the key for many people over age 65 to be able to afford to use their Medicare coverage. Medigap is a separate policy that is sold by private insurance carriers that adhere to Pennsylvania laws.
For the most part, Medigap covers co-insurance, co-payments, and even includes medical coverage if faced with an emergency when traveling outside of the United States. Older Medigap plans also covered deductibles, though those were mostly phased out in 2010. Medigap covers costs seen in Medicare Part A and Part B Plans. Medicare Advantage plans are also available though not in conjunction with Medigap benefits. Likewise, be aware that it is illegal to sell a Medigap holder Medicare Savings plans.
The reason people in Leck Kill, PA buy Medigap is to cover where an individual's money will fall short. Buying a Medigap policy will require monthly premiums in addition to Part A and Part B Plan premiums. Though, the fact is that there are still ways to save on Medigap coverage.
For one, apply for policies while in the first 6 months of your Medicare Part and Part B plan policies. During this period, guarantee issuance is extended to anyone over the age of 65 within the first six months. It means that there are no denials or increases in premiums because of pre-existing conditions, based upon past medical history, or current medical problems that spring up.
If an individual waits they may pay higher rates and fees for extending past the deadline. It is better to shop around and compare quotes and do so during the open enrollment period. The majority of Medicare Supplemental insurance coverages are standard and demarcated by letters A through N. Each plan covers benefits but have added benefits. For instance, part D covers prescriptions.
That means that while cheap Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans A through G charge higher premiums, costs that are out-of-pocket are not as expensive as for Plan K through Plan N. Those carry lower premiums and like benefits but at the trade-off of costing more at the time of service.
Employer Retiree Benefits
The next way to save money beyond following the open enrollment dates is to find out if a former or present employer has a Medigap policy of its own. In general, these will be less costly than an individual policy that you buy on your own. Though, the warning and word to the wise is to carefully consider if the company is financially stable or not.
Determining Eligibility
Whenever purchasing many types of Medicare plans, you actually cancel the old policy before instating the new policy. That is not the case where Medicare A and B are concerned. The reason, recall, is that cheap Medicare Supplemental insurance coverage is meant to fill the gaps of conventional original Medicare policies.
It requires still being covered under Medicare. The other benefit is to know when shopping around that the policies are the same whether you buy with Humana or Aetna or BlueCross BlueShield, for instance.
What is worth looking at is the reputation of the health insurance company, the quality of the coverage they offer, and the credit worthiness rating of the insurance company. The reason to look at the credit worthiness of the company offering up the insurance is to ensure that they are likely to have the money to pay out benefits and claims as agreed in the policy paperwork.
In addition to looking for insurance carriers that have an A or greater rating in the creditworthiness area, it is important to find out about the customer service and the customer satisfaction ratings of the companies you are comparing as well. It pays to have the company that pays claims within a timely manner, without a heroic effort on your part or the part of your doctors.
Otherwise, you will spend time having to contact the Pennsylvania insurance department or commissioner to file official complaints to get the claims paid within the acceptable two-month window. All of the Plan C Medigap coverage will be the same as that same plan from another insurer. Look at service quality and price. Look at comparing insurance company offerings to locate a cheap medicare supplement insurance plan in Leck Kill, PA .
You will also need to look for separate prescription drug coverage, which is designated by Medicare Part D. This will add in an additional premium in addition to other costs. The key is that the majority of people who qualify for cheap medicare supplemental insurance are 65 and older, and look for their Medigap during open enrollment.
In addition , the other requirements stipulate Medicare Part B and Part A participants are eligible. Once you choose a low priced Medicare Supplement insurance coverage it is as if it is written in stone and can not be altered.
To be eligible for cheap Medicare Supplemental insurance plans in Leck Kill, PA apply for coverage offered by insurers within your state. All policies are available in each state, though most states will have one single policy available for Medicaid plan holders.
Everyone at age 65 and older and who is also enrolled in the Medicare Parts A and B is eligible to purchase a supplemental plan. It is advisable to decide on a plan during the 6 months of open enrollment to pay the most favorable policy premiums. When comparing costs during the open enrollment, it means pre-existing conditions are not factored into the pricing for the premiums. It is the hands-down best way to save money on a Medigap Supplemental plan in Leck Kill, PA .

Personal: May 25,1948. Born in Leonia, N.J.
Family: Married to Audrey. Two children, three grandchildren.
A distinctive feature of your religion?
We combine traditions of the past and apply them to make them relevant to today's world. A typical service will feature scripture readings, the sermon and communion.
How did you get into your vocation?
I was always active in church and became very involved in the Cursillo movement. Through that, my faith deepened, and I began moving slowly toward a ministry vocation. I went to see our local pastor (in South Florida), and he wanted me to see the bishop. I saw him that day, and from that point on, every door opened. I knew God wanted me to take this path.
What's the one most mistaken impression about your faith?
That Christianity is a club for people to look inward. It's more about what you're doing to look outward and help others in the community and beyond.
How do you like to relax?
I like to play golf. I've been playing since I was a kid, and I don't play that well, but I enjoy it. I also like to fish, and I'm an avid reader.
What book have you been recommending lately?
I just finished "Valley Forge: George Washington and The Crucible of Victory" by Newt Gingrich. It looks at the perils faced by the soldiers during the American Revolution and how they endured tremendous hardship. It also highlights the fortitude of our leaders, and just reading about the common soldiers and what they did for our country is wonderful.
Favorite vacation spot?
We usually go visit our children and grandchildren in Georgia, but a couple of years ago, we celebrated our 30th anniversary with a trip to Ireland. We were with a group, and we went to St. Brigid's Well, the second most religious site for the Irish. There, in a sunken garden, Audie (wife Audrey) and I, along with another couple from our church, renewed our wedding vows. It was wonderful. The tour director said, 'but we don't have a minister.' I told him that wouldn't be a problem, and I was able to conduct the ceremony.
Favorite film(s)?
Mostly epics and westerns. Some of my favorites are "Kingdom of Heaven," "Ben Hur," "Braveheart" and "The Patriot." If I see a horse, I'm reminded of my days in Nebraska, and I love watching movies like that.
Favorite music? Favorite performer(s)?
Traditional hymns and contemporary Christian music. One of my favorite performers is Don Moen, whom my wife and I have seen in concert.
Do you have a treasured possession?
I have a bust of George Washington by the sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon, created from life. I got that at Valley Forge. I also have a Book of Common Prayer and Bible combined given to me by my wife's step-father. It dates to 1707 and the Bishop of Salisbury.
Your most memorable spiritual experience?
During my middling (second of three) year in seminary, I was awarded the Griffin Scholarship to go study in Jerusalem. That was one of the turning points in my spiritual walk. We would study scripture and then be standing in those areas we read and learned about. That was very powerful.
Any advice you'd give for others considering the vocation?
When you're going through the discerning process, be open. If God's leading you, be willing to go wherever he asks. I have been in rural areas, inner cities, big cities, small towns -- such a variety of places, but where God called me, I went.
When things get you down, how do you reconnect with the spirit?
Meditation and prayer. Sometimes I'll go on mini-retreats and just focus on prayer and favorite scriptures.
Motto, or favorite scripture verse?
Psalm 45:10 "Be still, and know that I am God." Also John 3:17: "For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Style File - Grace Kelly
SHE was the Hollywood starlet who became a princess. Her icy blonde charm won over Prince Rainier of Monaco when they met at the Cannes film festival in 1955 and, though she only appeared in 11 films before she retired from acting at the age of 26, she remains one of the most enduring film icons of all time.
Born in 1929 in Philadelphia to John Brendan Kelly, son of Irish immigrants, and his wife Margaret Katherine Majer, who was of German descent, Grace eschewed college in favour of pursuing a career in acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York (its alumni include Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall). She supported her studies by modelling and landed her first film role in Fourteen Hours. Her big break came when beauty Gene Tierney pulled out of 1953 movie Mogambo, and Grace was given the role along with a seven-year contract with MGM. Mogambo was the first time that she worked with Helen Rose, the first of three Hollywood costume designers - including Edith Head and Oleg Cassini - who would leave their imprint on her twinset-and-pearls, nipped-waist-flared-skirt look. But it was Hitchcock, and his vision of Kelly's ice-cool elegance that really shaped her look. "Hitch was virtually clinical in his precise ideas for Grace's wardrobe," says Donald Spoto, author of Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and his Leading Ladies. "There was a reason for every style."

Hasbro has updated with a look at the upcoming "army builder" wave, featuring the SA Clonetrooper, Neimodian Warrior, Wookiee Warrior, and Destroyer Droid.
I love the title they've used for their update too:"They're called action figures, not stand-there-and-look-good figures."
I think its just the angle of that shot, but from the other pics we've seen of this, I think it is some sort of antennae coming from his back (backpack type thing?) or something, but I'm not sure.
Oh yeah, these new Coll. 1 figures still look pretty nice, despite their super dooper missle launchers they come with...
I didn't see this posted anywhere but did anyone notice that Tarrful has an action feature too? You can twist his torso to one side and it will swing back to the center - almost like a club swinging action feature. Since he comes with the club, it makes sense.Perhaps I'm just dense and didn't read/hear about this before, but I thought this was a nice little surprise to the figure.All I would have changed on this figure was to make his knee joints bend as opposed to just rotate.

Another year, another Hollywood award show where really fancy golden barbecue skewers are handed out. The 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards made for a relatively brisk (well, they stayed under three hours) while fairly predictable (well, at least drama had a new winner) evening. Host Jimmy Kimmel returned for the second time, and opened the show with a skit featuring some of the leading ladies of primetime. It was fitting, considering ladies stole the show in what was otherwise a relatively snoozy affair. Here is a look at the real winners and some should have been winners. Also, of course, the dresses.
Outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series: Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Her mention of nipple covers and sister wives in her acceptance speech felt a little like she was auditioning for her own show on TLC.

Outstanding lead actress in a comedy series: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep
Outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series: Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Outstanding comedy series: Modern Family
Sure, its third consecutive win was predictable, but at least we got to ogle Sofia Vergara again.

Police in Washington D.C. arrested a suspect in two violent attacks after he gave his name and number to the second victim, according to court documents.
DeMarco Myles, 19, wrote down his first name and cell phone number for a 19-year-old Howard University student after he allegedly raped her in her room at Bethune annex, an all-women's dorm, Friday afternoon. Police tracked the number to a Fourth Street NW address where Myles lives with his mother and arrested him.
The first attack took place in a Rhode Island Row apartment Oct. 26 in Northeast D.C. The victim, a 24-year-old consultant, was working from home when she got a knock at the door about 2 p.m. by a man who said he was promoting a party. He forced his way in to her apartment before allegedly trying to kill her. She said she screamed at the top of her lungs and fought back as he kicked and beat her and stabbed her at least 25 times.
Read the original report | More from NBCWashington.com
The Howard student told police the suspect appeared in her room and made casual conversation about 1:15 p.m. Friday, one week after the first attack. She told him to get out, but he didn't. She began texting a friend, and the suspect pulled out brass knuckles with a purple blade, grabbed the victim's phone, texted the victim's friend and then raped the victim, according to court documents. Then he allegedly wrote the note, saying, "Since you don't know me, here's my number." He tried to cross out the phone number, according to court documents, but detectives were able to read it.
A man matching Myles's description entered other rooms at Bethune but left when asked, detectives learned.
Myles told detectives that the sex with the Howard student was consensual, but he admitted forcing his way in to the Rhode Island Row apartment and stabbing her after she resisted, according to court documents. He asked detectives if she survived, saying he didn't mean to kill anyone.

In each attack, the suspect managed to get past several layers of security. At Howard, that included locked doors and a sign-in process. At Rhode Island Row, you need a key card for the front door, a key card for the elevator and a key card for the apartment.
Howard is investigating how the man gained entry to the dorm:
The safety of our campus community is paramount; we have consistently enhanced security and have taken additional steps to bolster security in residence halls. A security team is providing a visible 24-hour presence in all residence halls.
The perimeter doors are secured with electric magnetic locks and a Key Card access system. Cameras monitor and record all entry and exit points.

Wakame waste
Bacteria that feed on seaweed could help in the disposal of pollutants in the world's oceans, according to a new study by researchers in China and Japan. The discovery is reported in the International Journal of Biotechnology, an Inderscience publication. Shinichi Nagata of the Environmental Biochemistry Group, at Kobe University, Japan, working with colleagues at Shimane University and at Nankai University, China, explain that as marine pollution is on the increase novel approaches to removing toxic contaminants is becoming an increasingly pressing issue. They point out that various species of seaweed are able to extract toxic compounds from seawater and point to the brown seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida, known as wakame in Japan as having been the focus of research in this area for almost a decade.
Wakame can thrive evening the presence of carbon, ammonium, nitrate and phosphate in sea water that would otherwise be lifeless. However, there remains the problem of how to dispose of planted wakame, once it has feasted on organic and inorganic pollutants in seawater.
Organic pollutants are absorbed by cultured wakame and so cultivated wakame must be treated as a kind of toxic waste rather than a useful byproduct of marine bioremediation. The researchers point out that there may be a simple solution to the disposal problem. Natural wakame has been used as a fertilizer since ancient times, they explain, so the composting process could be an effective means of degrading wakame into a useful form and so recycling organic substances containing C, N and P from coastal waters.
The team has now found a highly efficient way to accelerate the composting process in the form of a novel marine bacterium, identified as a Halomonas species and given the label AW4.
Partial DNA analysis helped identify the active species isolated from the seaweeds in Awaji Island, Japan. The researchers explain that strain AW4 grows well even at high salt (sodium chloride) concentrations and can reduce the total organic components, including pollutant content, of the seaweed significantly within a week.

The Pressure Cooker, who knew?!?!
I have to admit that part of the reason for this blog is that it keeps Sustainability at Haverford on the college's main page. Go Green!!
With that little confession out of the way, I'd like to introduce you to the pressure cooker. I'm a big beef and root vegetable person. Stews, soups you name it, it's on my plate. These types of foods are perfect for the pressure cooker. Okay, you ask, so how does all this relate to sustainability?
Let me give you a little example. Sunday, with the cooler temperatures, I decided it was beef stew season. I whipped out the pressure cooker, chopped the vegetables and threw everything in. 10 minutes to achieve pressure, 16 minutes cooking time. Voila! Mouth watering stew. Gone are the days of letting it simmer for hours. Less simmering, less energy. Pressure cookers, because you use very little liquid, maintain most of the vitamins and minerals. You also keep good vegetable color.
Also gone is the somewhat volatile nature of the appliance. I've never seen it, but I believe there is an I love Lucy episode where it exploded and she had food dripping off the ceiling. Pressure cookers today are state of the art, you really can't go wrong.
I've added a couple links below. The first, gives you all the benefits of using a pressure cooker, including the environmental and economical. The second is an article I found in Organic Gardening Magazine by Lorna Sass. Sass has written several books on pressure cooking, two of which I own, and has really perfected the technique.
With local food markets and home vegetable gardens, the pressure cooker is the perfect compliment to anyone's kitchen.

In high school basketball circles, there was one game that might have stood above the rest on the area schedule as this season marches toward the homestretch of the regular season.
There have been notable boys� matchups along the way, with the Graham / Cummings High School collision and the Cummings / Eastern Alamance get-togethers.
The one that seemed to show up most prominently on the radar was the Cummings / Burlington Christian Academy game Monday night in the Tony Perrou Classic at Southern Alamance.
This was BCA�s rare foray against a public school. It was a game during a window with no other prep activities in Alamance County.
Just how does BCA, which has been a program with its own niche, fit into the pecking order around here?
The Royals defeated Williams High School last season. That alone might have been enough to turn a few heads.
Probably not a good omen if it also got Cummings� attention.
Throw in the fact that former Cummings guard Jamison Jeffers is spending his senior season suiting up for BCA and there was more than a normal buzz about this high school game.
It turned out to be far from a classic, with Cummings winning 77-57.
�I�m glad we played it,� Jeffers said. �I�m glad it�s over with.�
And apparently a good many people seemed glad the matchup happened. In the first half came an announcement requesting that spectators squeeze together to make more room.
�On Twitter, people were talking junk,� said BCA forward Josh Folwell, a former Southern Alamance player back in a familiar setting.
It was really about seeing how BCA would handle the situation that had so many fans focused on the game. Yet with Cummings coming off its only loss thus far (to Eastern Alamance), that had the Cavaliers in an attentive mood.
�Jamison went to Cummings last year, and having it here, I probably knew half the people in this gym,� Folwell said.
Folwell had a regular taste of facing some of the top area public schools the past three seasons with Southern Alamance.
Jeffers called the game �good and it was competitive.�
The Cummings contingent had its guard up. When center Josh Murray�s first-half rejection was ruled to be goaltending, Cavaliers fans cheered anyway because they liked the message it sent.
And Jeffers was hounded by his ex-mates. His only first-half points came in the last 20 seconds before halftime when his 3-point shot bounced on the rim and fell through.
�When I was at Cummings, it seems like everyone wanted to beat Cummings,� he said. �Now I�m at BCA, now everyone wants to beat BCA.�
This week�s game lacked true drama in the second half, though BCA lingered within a dozen points long enough to keep it interesting.
Folwell picked up his fourth foul before the midway mark of the third quarter, leaving the Royals rather thin in the middle. Then late in the game, Murray, who�s arguably one of the most improved players in the region from a season ago, gave his former teammate an example of the upgrade in his abilities.
Jeffers drove into the lane, and Murray swatted it away like he was trying to send the ball back to Burlington.
So there were enough entertaining elements regardless of who you were rooting for. Or, in many cases, fans arrived just to make sure they didn�t miss anything in a once-in-a-season type of encounter.
BCA had the most to gain, though the Royals didn�t lose anything other than the game.
�We know they were a good team,� Folwell said. �We know we�ll probably play a couple of teams like them in states.�

Have Bike, Will Travel !
The long blacktop road rolled through the beautiful Wildcat Hills of Western Nebraska, leading "Biker Grannie" (AKA You Go Girl #2) and "Go Hubby" to the peaceful Hillcrest cemetery in Lagrange, Goshen Co., Wyoming.
When new information comes to light, it usually signals the plans for a research trip by the two You Go Genealogy Girls. As you know we usually travel via Li'l Red to the next site at hand. This day was unusual, however, as" You Go Genealogy Girl #2" was on a day trip with "Go Hubby". Camera in hand, we were headed by motorcycle to investigate the Hillcrest cemetery in Lagrange. YGGG#1 is temporarily out of commission awaiting some knee surgery so Girl#2 managed to talk Hubby into being chauffeur for the day. After all, these are all "his" relatives so it is only fair that he is put to work occasionally. He usually just stays home , working hard at his job so that the two You Go Girls can go play.
Last week it came to light that we had several relatives in the Hillcrest Cemetery at Lagrange, Wyoming. I could hardly wait to get over there to investigate. We have passed this small cemetery many times as we have been on our way to Cheyenne, Wyoming. I have always admired the pretty whitewashed wood fence that adorns the main entry by the highway. My husband and I have remarked often that we should take time to at least drive through as the cemetery has seemed to have had a strange pull on us. It seems that we have always been in a hurry, coming and going. In May The Go Girls even whizzed on by in a rush to get to Salt Lake City, again remarking that it would be a place that we should stop and visit.
To my wonder, we found that several of our Troyer and McComsey relatives were buried there when we recently acquired some information from newly found relatives. Willis Troyer, who was my husband's great-great uncle is one of those that we found there along with his wife, Ida and many of his extended family. Willis was the brother of my husband's great-great Grandmother "Lizzie" Troyer Smith. He was an early settler, blacksmith, and cowboy around Lagrange and the Goshen Hole area of Wyoming. You can read my story of this early settler, Willis Troyer, on my personal blog, THOSE OLD MEMORIES, " Willis Troyer, Cowboy and early Settler"
The Hillcrest cemetery is a gorgeous, peaceful little cemetery. It has a low canopy of cedars and pine trees which were planted many years ago and lovingly reared and cared for which shades the many grave sites within. Two long, pew style benches adorn a central area and provide a place for reflection, prayer and quiet thoughts. The picture above, although not one of our relatives, shows the serene atmosphere of peace in this little community cemetery.
I know that You Go Genealogy Girl #1 must really be jealous that this trip was made without her. She would have loved it, but alas, a "Biker Babe"--oops, "Biker Grannie", she ain't! Do not fear...the You Go Genealogy Girls will definitely be back on the road together real soon, heading to another great research destination........perhaps we will even visit Willis Troyer again!

Yes, I'm jealous. Move over "Go Hubby" ... I hope to make my debut without cane in September. You will be replaced and the bike will be replaced by Lil' Red. .... You Go Genealogy Girl #1, RubyReplyDelete
I pass this cemetery often. It is a very cared for and peaceful place. It makes it more personal to know someone there. I'll wave or even deliver a flower from now on. Thanks "Biker Babe"ReplyDelete

Los Banos
13-year-old school stabbing victim recovering
A 13-year-old Los Banos boy who was stabbed earlier this week during a school fire drill is on the mend, authorities said.
Los Banos police Cmdr. Jason Hedden said the teenager was listed in "noncritical" condition Friday. He said the boy is expected to survive and could be released from the hospital in the coming days.
The teenager was stabbed just before 10 a.m. Thursday at Elana Talbott Park during a fire drill at Los Banos Junior High School. Students were moved to the park during the emergency exercise because the usual meeting place was "under repair," according to Steve Tietjen, superintendent of Los Banos Unified School District.
A 14-year-old classmate was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the incident. Police seized a folding knife they believe to be the weapon used in the attack.
Hedden said Friday he did not want to elaborate on the weapon or any possible motives to protect the ongoing investigation.
Tietjen on Thursday told reporters the motive for the attack appeared to be personal between the boys, possibly involving "money or a girl."
However, on Friday, Tietjen said he could neither confirm nor deny any possible motives in the attack. Investigators also said it was still too early to comment on possible motives, though they have said they do not believe there are any gang connections in the case.
Tietjen also explained Friday the reason parents and police were not informed that students would be leaving campus during the fire drill .
"Parents had already been notified about the P.E. exercises in the park; that's why there was not any additional notification," the superintendent said.
At least one teacher at the school said the drill should have been postponed because there was not enough supervision at the school Thursday to move the entire student body off campus. The teacher spoke on condition of anonymity, not having authorization to speak to the press and fearing retaliation on the job.
Tietjen said all four of the school's security guards were on campus Thursday, noting that teachers and security guards helped police locate the suspect and ensured that he was taken into custody.
