, son of Ivy and Nora Pearson Harpole, was born June 7, 1917 at Nebo, Ill., and lived his short live in this community.
He had an attack of appendicitis January 16 and was taken to St. Mary's hospital in Quincy two days later. Everything humanly possible was done to bring him back to normal health and many prayers went up in his behalf, part of which were answered before his passing.
He called for the Chaplin at the hospital and asked him for help. After seeing Logan and asking Logan in what way he desired help, he told him that Jesus was the only one that could save and to pray for himself and he would pray for him. After each had offered two prayers, Logan testified to a changed condition of heart and soul. He was greatly strengthened his last night by some scriptures that were read to him and said shortly before passing, that he knew he was saved. He then prayed, "Lord let me die, I want to get out of my misery." After resting a few minutes he said, "Lord, I am saved. Amen." These were his last words.
After three weeks of suffering from appendicitis, toxic poisoning and pneumonia the last two days, Jesus answered his prayers and relieved his suffering in the early morning hours, February 7, 1934. His life among us was very brief, as Job said, "He came forth as a flower and withered away" but he has gone home to be with Jesus after spending sixteen years and eight months with us.

- The funeral services connected with the burial of Mrs. J. F. Hatch were held Thursday at 4 o'clock p. in. at the family residence, conducted by her former pastor the Rev. N. L.

The above notice chronicles the burial of one to whom more than a passing notice seems due. Mrs. Hatch was identified with almost every good work in our little city, both in her church and out of it. Where poverty, sickness, or death was, she was always to be found, did she know of it, with those kindly comforting words spoken from a heart full of love and sympathy for all. Was material aid needed, her purse was always open. We love to think of one who by her life has raised herself by the grace of God to that high level, where her life and thought teaches the things that are divine. Death has its terrible and in explicable sorrow. We will not speak of that. A Christian in her church, a Christian in her family, a Christian among the poor, she walked with God and had this testimony that it pleased Him and God took her.
- The passing away of Mrs. Lydia B. Hatch on last Wednesday morning is deserving of more than passing notice because she was the oldest resident of our city, if not of Pike county, her age being 94 years, one month and 14 days. (Death was 25 November 1908) Mrs. Hatch came to Griggsville with her husband, the late Isaac A. Hatch in 1840, making the trip by canal and stage coach. Mr. Hatch died Feb. 7, 1896, after a useful and successful life as farmer, merchant and banker. Three children were born to them, Abbie A., John F., and George, the latter dying in infancy. Coming here at so early a date, Mr. and Mrs. Hatch necessarily experienced the hardships of the pioneer life. However, none ever entered "Aunt Lydia's home without a warm welcome nor left without feeling the warmth of a genuine hospitality, so characteristic people of her ancestry. Disease did not destroy the charm of a kind indulgent disposition, nor old age diminish her unselfish solicitude for her friends and loved ones. Her sweet face made sunshine in a shady place. If strangers felt the charm of her rare courtesy and joyous, sunny temperament, how much more so the members of her own household upon whom she lavished all the sweet earnestness and careful culture of her mind and nature. Strong and potent was the influence of this loving heart which gave of its gifts so generously. The spirit of her love was not weakness but strength. Gently, and most unconsciously, it coerced those coming in contact with it, to strive for, if not to attain the realization of the high ideal. Her life was gentle, but like the waters, it was deep. In her heart of hearts she carried those she loved and her hand was never weary, her step never failed in ministering unto, caring for, waiting upon those who were in any way dependent upon her. "So he giveth his beloved sleep." Her children and her grandchildren shall rise up and call her blessed. Impressive funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. H. Appelman, her former pastor, of Marseilles, Ill., after which all that was mortal of this grand old mother in Israel was tenderly conveyed to our Silent City, where by the side of a devoted husband she now rests in peace.

A nonagenarian has away at Griggsville. There is special interest in her death for the reason that was the foster-mother of the late Dr. Henry Hatch, of this city. In mentioning her demise the Griggsville press has this to say:
"Mrs. Lydia B. Hatch passed away this morning at 7:20 o'clock after a decline of several weeks, her death being due to old age.
"'Aunt Lydia,' as she was familiarly known, was a daughter of Jonathan Baxter, and was born in New Hampshire on October 11, 1814, her age being 94 years, 1 month and 14 days. Her young womanhood was spent in teaching in which she was very successful. Her marriage to the late Isaac A. Hatch took place in New Hampshire in 1840. Two children were born to them, Abbie A. and John Franklin, both of whom survive.
Mrs. Hatch was a faithful member of the Griggsville Congregational church. She was not only faithful in her church, but just as faithful in believing that it was her duty as a Christian to do the will of the Master at all times. She was always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need---both in acts of kindness and in words.

- died suddenly of apoplexy on Sunday. Judge Higbee, it is stated, had been feeling quite ill for the last week, but his physician did not attribute it to any serious cause, consequently his attack, which caused him to drop from his chair dead, was a terrible shock to his family and to the community in which he resided.
Judge Higbee was one of the Circuit Judges in this District, and was also on the bench of the Appellate Court of this (the Third) District, and his eminence as a jurist is well known all over the State. He has also occupied a high position in the councils of the Democratic party, being virtually the leader of the party in Pike county. his prominence in all circles must necessarily bring profound sorrow to his friends and acquaintances regardless of class or political faith.
Judge Higbe was elected Circuit Judge for four terms, the first time in 1861. He was elected Judge of the Appellate Court six years ago. It is reported that on Saturday he told the Hon. J. M. Bush that he would not consent to remain on the judicial bench longer than this year, when his fourth term as Circuit and Appellate Judge would expire, and he would retire to public life. In 1845 he was publishing a paper at Nauvo. Ill., when his office material was put into the Mississippi river and he was warned by the Mormons to leave the place on penalty of death. He thereupon removed to Pittsfield to reside, where he practiced law successfully for a long time, and, as stated, in 1861 was elected Judge.
He began his professional career at the bar of Pike County about the year 1847, and rapidly rose to distinction in his profession and to importance as a political leader in the Counties embraced in what is known as the "Military Tract" in this State. After serving one term in the House of Representatives as a member of the Nineteenth General Assembly, he was elected to the State Senate, serving two sessions in that body - those of 1859 and 1861, retiring in June to accept his first judicial election.
As a man Judge Higbee earned the warmest regard of al his acquaintances. As a jurist, he stood second to none of his associates upon the Appellate bench. As a politician he was well-informed, sagacious and shrewd, and had the complete confidence of his party throughout the State. He was a native of Clermont county, Ohio, where he was born in 1820. In 1854 he married Julia White, niece of the late Hon. I. N. Morris of this city. His wife survives him, together with a son and daughter - Harry Higbee, presently practicing law at Minneapolis, and Susie Higbee, living at home at Pittsfield. Judge Higbee was possessed of a large amount of property.

Reader Sherry Katz wrote it to tell us about their Xtracycle built with a RANS Dynamik, a crank forward bike
"The advantage of the RANS is that the bike is designed so that the rider can put both feet on the ground while sitting on the seat. This makes the bike very easy to start and stop with when carrying a load. It also means the top tube is reasonably low and the bike is easy to step over."
More photos here. Sherry uses her SUB to promote her business and has ridden all over town with it. As she says, "I call this bike my "truck" and find it very useful and lots of fun."

Unsure if folding bikes will supplant fixies as "urban and fashionable," but they sure are selling and attracting attention. Dahon reported record sales, the ridiculously-small A-Bike launched, and I heard that during a recent catalog photoshoot the Fly By was the "shiznit." (Photo Credit: "The Folding Bike Fairy ," Frank Jackson)
I think the new popularity is driven by necessity, as people look for better transportation options and that's not limited to leaving the car at home, as the New York Daily News reported
"There's no need for a bike rack when taking it in the car with you out of town, either − just toss it in the trunk … Best of all, I took it with me into stores with nary a squawk from guards, who had no idea what it was, even at the post office − I told 'em it was a time machine."
Folding bikes make it more convenient for any type of cycling, as Dahon says, it's "Personal Mobility." Next week when Seattle expects the "worst traffic ever" Pam is going to ride the Breezer to the Water Taxi, across Elliott Bay, and onto work. When I travel to Taipei, London, San Fran, and Vegas later this year, I'll take a folder with me and ride all over the place, just like Beijing. And as Todd told me, when Brompton owners fly, they check their bikes right at the gate.
For longer trips, where I want to get out of the city on vacation, I'll ride the Modal, a bike that folds with S&S, but is full size.
Do you agree folding bikes are the ultimate in urban mobility?

From Treehugger, an ode to a 100-year old water bottle design.
"When I was a kid, I'd fill it up for my bicycle trip, soaking the canvas completely and letting it hang off the back of my bicycle seat springs with the built in belt hooks."

Design Within Reach sent us their Biomega AMS 8-Speed Bicycle a couple weeks ago and we've been admiring, questioning, and discussing it ever since. The bike features a shaft drive, Nexus hub, powdercoat finish, is built to just get around town, and is featured in this week's Huggacast.
A few pedals on the shaft drive and you'll understand that it is just for around town and that's ok, because it does have substance to all that style. When we first unpacked it, one of the remarks was, "damn! does it come with a matching dish set, towels, and shower curtain?" It looks that nice and very designer with the powder coat finish, badges, and internal cables. The most striking visual is the cardanic shaft drive and I think the designer, Skibsted, concieved the entire bike from that drivetrain.
The bike itself is the award-winning Copenhagen, imported exclusively by DWR. It's a museum-quality bike. Speaking about the bike, Skibsted said,
The bicycle is designed for "urban mobility," with the intent of "making towns and cities lovelier, beautiful and cleaner places to be." Beyond creating an object of beauty, "We want to spread the love we put into our bikes to the people who ride them. We believe that a kind of osmosis from the bike to the rider takes places, spreading our feel for quality and originality."
Check the Huggacast video for our riding observations and our photostream for photos. The shaft drive is a love it or hate it thing (see an animation here). We appreciated the functionality of it and nearly immediately discovered the downside. Zero maintenance, looks cool – great – but massive friction, speed limitations, and a gear range that, hobbled by frictional losses, isn't going to get you up any hill. I also could not go fast on this bike. That's not the point, but I did try, and the bike just doesn't go.
Since I've been putting big miles on Bettie lately, and it also encourages the slower approach, I found myself comparing the two rides. Where Bettie isn't the sexiest bike ever, it's very functional. From taking the kids to soccer, delivering the goods, a date night, or just riding around, Bettie will get it done.
The Biomega is good at what it does, with some puzzling omissions:
I think the owner of this bike will ride it on campus, bike paths, and from the condo to the office, and that's great. As we first posted, we're good with bikes as designer items, why not? As we learned with Bettie, going slow, chilling and enjoying the ride is a relief from a hectic commute or road rides.
The Biomega AMS is available online from Design Within Reach and their local studios. You'll need to find a mechanic or bike shop to assemble it for you. The one we rode is on display now at their Seattle Studio.

Cyclists Ride for the Right to Bike Lanes - Seattle Times
Mayor Greg Nickels said Wednesday he intends to triple the city's bike lanes, but they're not the answer for every location, and the Stone Way decision will be re-evaluated in six months.
Also Wednesday, the city announced that a closed stretch of the Burke-Gilman at the Fremont Bridge will reopen this month, instead of being blocked by a private construction project through mid-2008.

Dr. Hill is comforting and genuine her patients, but the staff is disorganized and rude. She listened to my symptoms and told me what she thought I had. I read of PCOS and the description terrified me, making me to want to know results asap, or to know whether my habits are helping/hindering me. I got tests and lab work done, and had expected to hear my results within a few days. However, I found out that I wouldn't be informed of what is going on in for another 3 weeks, which was the earliest I could get my next appointment. I had to put off scheduling an appointment due to school, and tried to explain to the staff that I had been experiencing symptoms for about 3 months, and if I wait 3 more weeks to simply hear results, I would only have 1 week to seek help before I begin a full time job. I had wanted to hear of my results because I want to pursue non-medical help with enough time. The staff was very rude and defensive, and made me feel unreasonable and uptight. I'm not going back.

Her staff is rude. I felt uncomfortable with a male answering the phone, especially since I had to ask a sensitive question before my appointment. They had my patient info completely mixed up with someone else's, which was disturbing. When I mentioned that I was uncomfortable with a male answering the phone, some female said it was her husband, the "office manager", and too bad if I felt that way!!! This is just another example of the medical industry treating women like cattle. I will go elsewhere because I respect myself, and so should the medical professionals that I frequent.

Dr Hill has been my Dr foe about 15 yrs and she is my physician of choice based on her knowledge and her empathy in treating me as a person. She gets my input on what is going on with my body and takes personal responsibility to give me the best care possible. I even came back every year for my yearly pap test and exam when I was living in arizona !

I went in and only saw the Dr. very about 2 minutes. She was treating me for Poly-cystic ovary syndrome. She wrote my prescription for DOUBLE the amount I was supposed to take. I had to point this out to her so she could re-write the prescription. This is totally outrageous in my opinion. She also gave me no information about my condition. She did not want to waste time. She left the room and NEVER came back! She sent her nurse back. I was SHOCKED! Never again. I value my life and health.

Dr. Hill is a very nice person she's very knowledgeable. Butttt, I think she has too many patients every time I see her I have to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour for her to come into the room. After she initially sees you if you have to have a urine test or anything else done she leaves the room and doesn't come back for another 15-20 minutes. One time I was in her office for 2 hours I saw her for 5 minutes got a prescription and had to wait another 25 minutes. She gave me penicillin even though my chart says I'm allergic to penicillin. When she had someone print off the prescription she just signed without looking at my chart. I didn't think anything of it because my chart says pencillin allergy but the Walgreen's pharmacist brought it to my attention that this medicine had penicillin in it. Staff overworked, takes forever to get test results.

I had gone to Dr Hill for for yearly's, endometriosis and trying to concieve. She was not good at all following through with explaining procudures or medicine side effects.

First I must say she is a very nice person. She has over 2000 patients but I think she is extremely overrated. I am 23 and just got married. For 3 long depressing months I could not have intercourse, slept with ice between my legs every night, cried daily, got cuts and rashes daily, and sometimes couldn't even wear an underwear. I tried having intercourse once and ended up with over 7 cuts and an immediate rash. My family rushed me to her. She took forever to come in, I was crying and in pain. Finally she took a biapsy and many cultures. She also sprayed some kind of spray which made feel like my skin was burning. It took one whole week for them to call and say everything is normal! Normal! I changed doctors and it turns out I had a "Raging yeast Infection" which caused dryness which lead to a big rash. Dr. Hill took 3 (THREE) yeast infection cultures and never found it. I will Never go there or anywhere associated with this hospital.

Today I weighed in at 86.1kgs which is 0.7kgs higher than Wednesday's weigh-in and I expect that is because I didn't eat for several days preparing for the hospital procedure and my body went into starvation mode. I could actually feel it happening - by day 2 my body's hunger slowed down and even when I could eat again I wasn't very hungry, but I ate anyway to get the nutrients back into my body as I could feel I was lacking.
So today is another day and with renewed energy I have things to achieve. Actually I have a lot to accomplish all of this week and then the garage sale is on Saturday also so I need to be prepared for that. So far we have probably around 200 items for sale and sitting in my double garage to be sorted - included in the stuff that mum brought over to sell was an exercise mat and a large exercise ball - she said she is too old now to be getting down to floor level and then getting back up again, so I have these items tucked away for use at a later date when I get around to working out what to do with the ball! Not sure I'll be comfortable using it yet either!
Tomorrow I'm back into my fitness program - daily aerobics and 3/days week strength training and then 2 rest days.
I expect I'll be blogging less and concentrating more on the things I need to do this week!
Have a great day/night all and keep those challenges alive and well and at the forefront of your minds.

Exactly the same with me. I thought that with the agony of going through all that, at least I'd get a couple of pounds lost out of it, but no, actually I PUT ON weight too, go figure! Body definitely doesn't like starvation mode!
Good luck on getting back in to the groove. And don't let the scales torment you. Those last before/after photos show your efforts way better!!
And enormous luck on transforming yourself into a "flylady" (now you've googled it!) this coming week with your garage. Better you than me, heehee! If i don't hear from you, I know where you'll be!
I'd definitely keep the bouncing ball. The following 1st emoticon picture looks easy enough, doesn't it?

It is hard to comprehend that enforced starvation for a few days can lead to weight gain, but there is the proof! Aren't our bodies wonderful!
You will soon get back on track by following your established routine. I think the up ticks on the scale are hard to deal with though, and for me are often give up points, because the effort seems to far outweigh the rewards, but not anymore. We have a longer term perspective.
You are doing fantastically well, and have gone through so much emotionally in just a few weeks, no wonder the wine bottle was tempting, but you resisted and found other ways to release the tension.

My daughter and I are having a rummage sale next spring. I'm looking forward to decluttering my house. Your fitness program sounds like a good one!
