The importance of
"financial architecture"
We reason that, like in many physical constructions,
in infrastructure, getting the system design right is all important.
No more so than in transport infrastructure,
which is crucial for all our residents and enterprises.
This is what we specialise in.
Engineering & Construction
Construction efficacy, quality and sustainability
AIM: Minimising construction costs
whilst maximising long term performance
Who pays, who benefits
Designing the funding sources is vital
User pays, beneficiary pays, taxes pay, etc.
+ Cross-mode matters (eg road vs rail & other modes)
As do effects across time (inter-generational impacts)
Our principals, associates and alliance members have spent significant pro bono time in the last 5 years on structural design issues associated with Australia's' transport infrastructure challenges.
We found that there were serious areas in need of improvement and, once properly analysed (which rarely happens) some of the conceptual solutions were not all that complex.
What is complicated is fitting new designs to legacy arrangements and getting past political hurdles, either of lack of vision, understanding, too short a horizon or just plain system inertia.
Much can be solved by Government with its cheaper access to capital and its greater control of policy environments and funding sources. Yet reluctance to borrow has been a constraint.
The typical Infrastructure PPP theoretically allocates a given risk to the party who can best handle it, but the practice in this regard has fallen well short of the theory of optimal risk allocation.
The methods of project evaluation and priority ranking are failing to select optimal long term capital projects for what Governments can provide relative to the private sector.
Infrastructure Australia guidelines 9 years post-GFC have not been updated for the world-wide fall in interest rates which occurred due to the banking crises - this favours short termism.
Benefit cost ratios for road projects based on travel time savings do not generally attentuate such savings over time as induced demand regenerates congestion - BCR's can be over-stated.
Benefit cost ratios for major rail projects take too short term a perspective, due to entrenched evaluation method biases, meaning that rail transport is not alleviating road pressures as it should.
Australia has become efficient in and oriented towards the lower-skilled transport employment sectors - trucking, buses, taxis, road construction. Higher skilled employment is under-emphasised.
In 40 years Australia has been left behind by places like Singapore in virtually all economy enhancing respects. In 30 years China has leapt forward while Australia hasn't learnt from the new Asia.
Especially this applies in the area of backbone infrastructure, poorly contrasting Singapore's infrastructure: Changi Airport, Metro Rapid Transit, electronic road pricing and soon high-speed rail.
And in China, notably how it has grown the largest high-speed rail network in the world in such a short time span. In roads it already has the world's 2nd largest highway network as well as having over 70% of the world's toll roads (source KPMG). It has rapidly built new airports and modernised sea ports and developed new ones at a rate which is astounding to the rest of the world.
Whilst the population and population density issues are prevalent in these comparisons, we feel differences in the decision-making process are the most telling - long termism v short-termism!

Celtic victorious in six goal thriller
Posted: 16 September 2009 Time: 23:11
There may have been a shortage of goals in the early stages of the Absa Premiership, but Maritzburg United and Bloemfontein Celtic did their bit to address the imbalance as Phunya Sele Sele won 4-2 at the Woodburn Stadium on Wednesday night.
There may have been a shortage of goals in the early stages of the Absa Premiership, but Maritzburg United and Bloemfontein Celtic did their bit to address the imbalance as Phunya Sele Sele won 4-2 at the Woodburn Stadium on Wednesday night. It was a thrilling game, particularly in the first half as Celtic took a two goal lead before United fought back to go in to the break with the game all square.
Both sides had chances early on as Tlou Segolela fired over the bar in the first minute, Fadlu Davids headed over in the fourth minute and Noah Chivuta shot wide two minutes later.
The visiting side took the lead in as early as the eighth minute when Prince Olomu received the ball from Sandile Ndlovu and fired in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the area.
Maritzburg looked to stage a fight back, but after Davids and Chivuta again both missed chances, the Team of Choice found themselves 2-0 down after 14 minutes as Johannes Motlhaping stuck a header in the bottom corner of the net after a free kick from Moses Spandeel.
However, the home side got themselves back into the game in the 20th minute when Nigerian winger Felix Obada scored with a fantastic shot from distance, putting the ball past Patrick Tignyemb and into the top left hand corner of the net.
And it was all level 13 minutes later when Davids pounced from close range to score after Tignyemb had been unable to hold onto Chivuta's 20-yard effort.
Celtic ended the half the stronger side as Ditheko Mototo, Wellington Sambu and Tlou Segolela all had shots on goal, although their efforts were all from outside the box.
Maritrzburg also had a couple of chances, but Elias Ngwepe and Obada could not find a way past Tignyemb.
The complexion of the game changed in the 51st minute when Maritzburg keeper Brendan Wardle was red-carded for handling the ball outside his area.
Shots were then exchanged from both sides as Obada and Mototo both missed from range before Olomu put Phunya Sele Sele back in front in the 62nd minute with a superb shot from 25-yards out.
And just three minutes later the Free State side increased their lead to two goals when Sandile Ndlovu netted from close range.
The Team of Choice rallied strongly late in the game, but this time there was to be no way back as the likes of Obada, Chivuta and Brice Aka could not keep their efforts on target.

The Secret Scripture appeared in the cinema listings despite having no visible advertising campaign. The fact that it was not Kong: Skull Island was enough to convince me that it should be my film of choice.
PLOT: After being assigned to evaluate Rose (Vanessa Redgrave), an elderly patient who has been incarcerated in a mental institute for over forty years, Dr Grene (Eric Bana) finds himself listening to her story. Rose tells Dr Grene of her love affair with Michael (Jack Reynor), the inappropriate attentions of Father Gaunt (Theo James) and the events leading up to her being arrested for killing her new born son. END PLOT
The plot of The Secret Scripture is a familiar tale of forbidden love, this time set in rural Ireland in during World War Two. The action jumps back and forth from present day to 1942, although the film only really comes to life during the flashbacks. The love story between Rose and Michael is sweet but their time together is little more than a brief dalliance which lasts no more than a few weeks. It may have been true love but the only emotion I felt during the entire film was anger at the corruption of the local priest, judgemental nuns and the complete lack of compassion the church used to show young Irish women. It was a dark time and it will always be an uncomfortable topic. Unfortunately, The Secret Scripture did not deal with these plot points in any great depth.
Vanessa Redgrave was excellent as the elderly Rose and Rooney Mara held her own playing the younger Rose. On paper Mara seemed like an odd casting choice but she proved to be more than capable. Despite being Australian, Eric Bana's accent appeared to be channelling an American attempting to conquer the Northern Irish accent. The Northern Irish accent is a tough one to crack, and although Bana's isn't the worst I've heard, it wasn't particularly successful.
Theo James is not an actor I am familiar with and his performance has not inspired me to pay attention to his career. Scowling and staring while scowling is not character development. I would have liked his character to have been held accountable for his actions. The explanation that the church does what the church does was probably realistic but it was not satisfying.
The supporting cast, which included the underused Aidan Turner, was made up of vaguely familiar faces. It was nice to see that Pauline McFlynn has finally grown into Mrs Doyle.
The Secret Scripture is a gorgeous film and Ireland looks exactly how you would expect it to in the 1940's. It captured the period well with woollen clothing, thatched roofs and dance halls all being present and correct. The film was set in May and it looked appropriately cold.
The biggest problem with The Secret Scripture is that I felt like I had seen it all before. The running time was only 1hour 48mins but I caught myself looking at my watch as I already knew how the film was going to end – the plot twist was not well written, hidden or revealed. The story needed to be meatier and was saved by the performances of Redgrave and Mara.
Overall The Secret Scripture is a fine film which just about killed an evening at the cinema. It gets 6/10. The Secret Scripture is worth a look on Netflix on a rainy Sunday afternoon or if you are wanting to avoid a noisy blockbuster.
It's disappointing that it is instantly regrettable.

SITEWORKS returns this spring for 10th year
Bundanon Trust's annual event SITEWORKS returns this spring for its 10th year. Each year SITEWORKS brings together contemporary artists, scientists and environmentalists to respond to a theme. This year the event explores the theme of "Micro", focusing on the miniature and microscopic.
The full day of festivities melds contemporary art works and performances with the sharing of knowledge and ideas. Set in and around the iconic Bundanon Homestead, the program runs late into the evening on Saturday, September 29. SITEWORKS invites visitors to camp overnight on the historic property that is the former home and studio of Arthur Boyd.
Artists will include Maria Fernanda Cardoso, French & Mottershead, Emily Hunt, Helen Pynor, Patrick Nolan with Dancenorth, one step at a time like this, Theatre Kantanka and Deborah Kelly. The seven dancers from Dancenorth will perform Patrick Nolan's choreography of the invisible – a performance that reveals the thriving worlds that exist in the dirt beneath our feet.
Master of ceremonies, ABC broadcaster Robbie Buck, will keep the conversation flowing with a series of talks with leading academics, miniaturists and microbiologists discussing all things 'micro'.
SITEWORKS kicks off at noon. For visitors camping overnight, site closes mid-morning Sunday. For more information and detailed directions, visit bundanon.com.au.

How Drug Addiction Follow Dependency; its Symptoms and Treatment
A drug is any substance, other than those required for the maintenance of normal health, that when taken into the living organism may modify one or more of its functions (WHO).
Drug misuse (substance abuse) is defined as "a state psychic and sometimes also physical, resulting from the interaction between a living organism and a drug characterized by a behavioral and other responses that always include a compulsion to take the drug on a continuous or periodic basis in order to experience its psychic effects and sometimes to avoid discomfort of its absence.
Tolerance may or may not be present" (WHO). For drug dependence to exist psychological dependence must be present but physical dependence may not necessarily occur. Tolerance occurs when increased doses are required to produce the same effect and will only be maintained if the drug is taken regularly and in sufficient doses.
Drug addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication, produced by the repeated consumption of a drug, which is harmful to the individual and to the society. Alcohol, cannabis and heroin are the most commonly abused substances. The most important drugs of addiction are opium and its derivatives, pethidine, heroin, alcohol, barbiturates, cocaine, cannabis, LSD, benzodiazepines, methaqualone, buprenorphine, dextropropoxyphene, and amphetamine. Other drugs are chloral hydrate and bromides. Heroin is the most dangerous.
Drug habituation is a condition resulting from the repeated consumption of a drug, in which there is psychological or emotional dependency on the drug.Caffeine and nicotine are habit-forming drugs. Drug dependence includes both the terms 'addiction and 'habituation'.
Cocaine, LSD, and cannabis do not cause tolerance or physical dependence but cause strong habituation. Non narcotic drugs of abuse are: (1) Hypnotics. (2) Stimulants, e.g. amphetamines, cocaine. (3) Non narcotic analgesics, (4) Tranquillizers. (5) Hallucinogens.
Addiction consists of physical dependence and psychological dependence. Physical dependence is a biological phenomenon which depends on the type, dose and duration of drug use irrespective of personality factors. If the drug is abruptly withdrawn, a withdrawal syndrome will occur in a physically dependent person.
The withdrawal symptoms are usually opposite to the effects of the drug itself. Psychological dependence is a compulsive need for a drug in order to maintain a state of well-being, and it can occur in the absence of physical dependence.
Pharmacologically, addiction evolves through the following stages: (1) Habituation. (2) Physical dependence, wherein an altered physiological state exists because of the frequent exposure to the drug. Withdrawal of the drug causes physical and emotional illness, known as the abstinence or withdrawal syndrome. (3) Tolerance to many of the pharmacological effects of the drug.
Drug abuse is a major medical problem with extensive legal, social, moral, ethical and even political problems. A person made tolerant to a large dose of one narcotic is also cross-tolerant to many of the effects of another narcotic.
Most persons use drugs of dependence with a certain discrimination, and in such cases little harm results. Indiscriminate use of any of these drugs becomes dangerous, and produces a gradual mental, physical, and moral deterioration of the individual, and sometimes also sexual perversions or crime. To obtain the money for the drug the addict often turns to prostitution or crime. The majority of drug victims are neurotic individuals who are mentally unbalanced.
A normal person has no tendency to become a drug addict and is most unlikely to become one, even when all the facilities are available. Hereditary factors, abnormal mental correlations, frustrations in life, anxiety, chronic tensions, physical inability to do a job, curiosity, etc. are some of the causes of drug addiction.
Addicts fall in two groups. (1) Those who originally used the drug for some disease and thus have acquired the habit, and (2) those who use the drug for its narcotic effect alone. The first group are more easily cured than the second. The inability to discontinue the use of drug may be due either to a desire for satisfaction, or an anxiety to avoid the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms, or both. Most drug users appear normal.
Symptoms of Drug Dependency :
Loss of appetite and weight; clumsy movements, unsteady gait, tremors; reddening and puffiness of eyes, unclear vision; slurring of speech; loss of interest, sleeplessness, lethargy and passivity; acute anxiety, depression, profuse sweating; mood changes, temper tantrums; depersonalization and emotional detachment; impaired memory and concentration; preference for solitude, especially spending long hours in the toilet. Acute intravenous narcotism is characterized by the appearance of fulminant pulmonary edema and immediate collapse and death.
Withdrawal Symptoms : They may begin within six to eight hours following stoppage of the drug or they may be delayed for twenty-four to forty-eight hours, depending upon the particular drug being used. The length of period of withdrawal symptoms also varies and can last up to ten days.
The intensity of the symptoms depends on the dose and type of the drug used, the duration of addiction and the suddenness of withdrawal of the drug. Early symptoms are chilliness, sensation of cold, uneasiness, anxiety, sweating, cramps, yawning and rhinorrhoea. Later, respirations become labored, sharp and very rapid. Goose skin; lacrimation, gross tremors and dilated pupils are seen. Anorexia is present in all the stages. The third stage is one of sleep lasting from eight to sixteen hours. Upon awakening, all the previous symptoms become intense. In addition, there is tachyapnoea, fever, hypertension, pain and cramps in the legs and abdomen, perspiration, vomiting and diarrhea.
Newborns of addicted mothers may show withdrawal symptoms from one to fifty-six hours after birth and require treatment. The symptoms are hyperactivity, twitching and convulsions.
Narcotic addicts may be murdered by a 'hot shot'. This is a dose of narcotic with poison, such as strychnine in it. In such cases, only signs of anorexia and cerebral depression are present. Another method of accidental or homicidal death is by the use of a purer drug than the addict has been using.Cocaine, LSD, and depressants and anti psychotic do not product physical dependence.
Treatment :
- The person should be removed to an institution, so as to remove him from the association with which the addiction started.
- Constant supervision to prevent addict from obtaining secret supplies of the drug.
- Detoxification: This consists of reduction in dosage of drug over a period of one to 3 weeks.
- Administration of drugs, such as sedatives, Benzedrine, hyocine.
- Diverting the mind by engaging him physically and mentally in some occupation.
- Psychotherapy (group, family or individual).
- Improving general health.
- Symptomatic. The treatment is successful only in 10 to 25% of cases.
- Rehabilitation : Rehabilitation is a continuous process of "weaning away the victims of drug dependency. It requires strong family support and follow-up to prevent relapse. Social rehabilitation and training for gainful employment are the most important components after weaning addicts away from drug dependency to prevent relapse.

Star, a messenger for the Elite Riders of Evenspark, races through the misted countryside delivering correspondence to the bordering Fortress of Ravencliff. The route is haunted by the mysterious beasts that lurk in the moors. Star risks her life for the hope of relocating her parents, for the glory of her illustrious career, and for an unrequited love.
On one such mission, Star discovers she carries plans for the assassination of Prince Valen of Ravencliff—the man who has captured her heart. Weighing love against livelihood, she must decide what's more important…the safety of her country or her love for the Prince, who is betrothed to Princess Vespa of Evenspark.
With the mist rising, enabling the Elyndra to gather and threaten the borders of both kingdoms, Star must unravel the mystery of their existence and forestall a war.
I immediately liked Star, the resourceful young woman who dreams of buying her parents a home in a part of town where they'll be safe from the Elyndra, flying beasts who terrorize the countryside but have not yet crossed the boundaries into Star's homeland, Evenspark, or the neighboring land of Ravencliff. The setting is an integral part of the plot, and Aubrie describes it beautifully, bringing it to life with skillful description and vivid imagery.

New Poetry: 'The Worst Journey in the World'
6 comments:
I saw your poem on the And Other Poems blog. I thought it was great. Your blog looks interesting too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much - I'm glad you like the poem! (And the blog!)Delete
Your poem has had an odd effect on me. I think it really captures the strange combination of oppressive concentration and mental distractedness one finds when trapped on a crowded underground train. The line 'The stale air is open for conversation but no one pays attention' is a good example of this: the air itself seems (almost malevolently?) alive, but only for a group of individuals who exist in separate states of concern and abstraction. The whole poem, for me, is like a kind of springboard to dimensions of mental transition. You even had me looking up the history of Earls Court itself, a little adventure on its own.ReplyDeleteReplies
Your comments are always so interesting! My mother told me that she laughed (out loud) when she read it, but you seem to have perceived more of the sinister side. I suppose the atmosphere is rather claustrophobic - the Tube can be so uncomfortable anyway at times that I cannot imagine how nightmarish it would feel with claustrophobia. I like what you said about "a springboard to dimensions of mental transition." You've nicely articulated one of the reasons why I'm drawn to write about it.Delete
As well, you probably know more about Earls Court than I do, now!

Thanks for the link, Clarissa, and for your kind words about And Other Poems. I always enjoy learning about a poem's journey from early draft to finished piece and I'm delighted that you've shared the poem's origins here.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for the opportunity, Josephine, it was much appreciated!Delete

The garden audience for Southwest Fruit & Vegetable Gardening: Plant, Grow, and Harvest the Best Edibles likely live in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, though anyone who delves into this garden read will come out with eyes considerably wider open.
Written by Jacqueline Soule and published by Cool Springs Press, this soft-cover book is a valuable tool for gardeners in my adopted region of the United States.
Jacqueline Soule writes what she knows: About the plants and how to grow them successfully in the Southwest. The author pulls no punches by recommending the food plants she thinks will give gardeners the best harvests without forcing a land to be what it is not.
For gardeners like myself, who still wears her Midwestern roots on her sleeve, it was a hard life-lesson learning that sandwich-sized tomatoes do not appreciate the low desert environs. Soule offers her readers a tough kind-of unvarnished advice on how to navigate our hardiness zones and the plant varieties which grow best in them.
Descriptive Southwest Growing Regions
Southwest Fruit & Vegetable Gardening takes gardeners well beyond the usual United States Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zone Maps for the three states. A table of last and first freeze dates and number of frost-free days is laid out in a sampling of cities from Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico.
Take April, for instance. "It depends where you live in the Southwest," says Soule. She uses descriptions like Cold Mountains, which starts with cool season crops, and Low Desert, where temperatures are already reaching triple digits and growing warm-season crops like melons, make clear distinctions. Other gardening regions include: Middle Desert, High Desert, and Cool Highlands.
Especially for gardeners new to the area but with experience growing plants elsewhere; the differences can turn one's head and get you believing you've landed in an otherworld.
Soule also addresses the five distinct gardening periods in the Southwest: Winter, Fall, Summer, Spring, and, my personal favorite, Monsoon.
Garden Book Sections in Southwest Fruit & Vegetable Gardening
The garden vegetable and herb sections are each divided into cool season and warm season food plants. The fruit and nut trees section is large enough that it has its own chapter.
"When and Where to Plant" and "Recommended Varieties" are in each of the plant selections and throughout are transitioning tips for going from cool season to warm season, to cool/warm or warm/cool, and back to cool season again.
Narratives on soil types, including what to do with caliche, and integrated pest management (IPM) and genetically modified organism (GMO) seeds are found in the Planning and Planting chapter.

Ira's to close Sunday
So, with Ira's closing, where can a copper drink in 012 now? And don't say Dugan's.
Sarcasm and Silliness from a Windy City Cop
Than after that go home to your families you dam drunks. Thank god that dive is gone, now my property value will rise cause the rift rafe (drunk CPD) will be forced to drink somewhere else.
No big deal, Just follow Bench and the drunk pipers. They always know where to go.
kudos on the name-slam linkage above- ouch! "the 1st step in knowing you have a problem... is clicking on your name above"... (ouch!) ;-)
Sunday night is the end.
What are "rift rafe"?
We'll head over to the Cotton Club instead!
The institution known as Iras is closing sunday. As far as a dive, it was surely there before your cute litlle over-priced yuppie condo my friend. It is a shame because they plan on turning it into a yuppie club similar to Plush etc. As far as where to go, there is Union park or yes, Dugans or Emmits.
Why bash first poster he is right. Why dont coppers focus more on their families than gettin drunk with some whores(im talking female coppers) and sitting around tellin war stories and about how much overtime and special they work.....Get a life some of you coppers!!!!!
Church's Chicken Lot, S/E corner 35th and Michigan, have a swill with Fat Phil. You can buy a half/dog across the street. Nahh, Phil is too heavy to pick up when he's loaded.
There is always a party at Moretti's on Jackson.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Good place to stop for a beer and chill before going home. I Just couldn't stand the smoke. Heck, all you had to do was walk from the front door to the back and smell like you rolled in a ashtray. Yuck.
I did meet Edward Hermann (the actor and he does a ton of voice-overs on the History Channel) there one night. I asked him what he was doing in such a dive. He said he was out walking after doing a play it looked like and interesting place. Very down to earth guy.
Hope Bench made a mint!
Always Dugan's. Even if it has become a college bar... with little college girls....wearing their little outfits....parading their tight little asses around the bar..... Sorry, where was I? Ahh yes, Dugan's it is.

Life on the balcony
The number of apartments is growing with increasing population. More buildings usually mean less green spaces and a grayer city. Living in an apartment must not keep you away from having a healthy green space. Even small spaces such as a balcony can become a rewarding and refreshing garden of your own. All you need is a smart planning. What do you want from your garden? Ask yourself, which type of a garden you would like to walk into each day? This

I am not very adept at Tarot, so I try to keep it fairly simple.
That is my main deck that I use. I love this deck and do not ever regret getting it. Having the Goddesses featured on the cards makes it *very* easy for me to interpret them.
I also have the Harmony Angel cards that I do not use much anymore:
As the reviewer stated in the page, one thing I don't like about the packaging is that the book and cards are contained in a book case. Inside this case is a well to put the cards (which are also in a flimsy cardboard box), and the 128-page book is literally glued to the casing. So you have to pick up the entire outer casing to look at the book. It will not slide out, as it's literally glued on and would likely tear up the back cover of the guidebook if you took it off. It bites, which is why I probably don't use it often.

With the FT Versa Wing unsuitable for flat field operations I was looking for another glider design – enter the FT Simple Soarer!
I had an evening and some foam board spare so I thought I would put one of these floaters together quickly. The design certainly looked interesting in the Flite Test videos:
A very quick build…
The FT Simple Soarer is a pretty complicated plan and, in keeping with their plan to make each new plane a little more complicated than the last, this one had a lot more folds and curves than other FT models I have built.
The wing is a folded polyhedral design. The biggest problem here was getting the angles constant and holding down all the edges whilst the glue dried. Fortunately my long arms took care of this and the wing came together straight and is nice and strong.
The fuselage is a little more complex. It is much sleeker than other FT planes and as such the parts are a little flimsy to work with. The guides and instructions in the video though are very accurate so installing the servos and pushrods before the fold works well.
TIP: Leave the cutouts and hatches in place and attached to give strength to the components during the fold process. Cut them out after – it really does make things easier!
I had already decided to make this a pure glider so didn't bother with a power pod. This was fortunate as my tolerances on the nose section were so tight that it keyed perfectly onto the fuselage and stuck fast! The folding nose hatch is a work of genius. I reinforced the card wrap with glass reinforced tape to make sure it doesn't wear out over time.
…and that's it!
There really isn't anything more to say. I threw a small OrangeRX DSM2 receiver in the nose along with a LiFe 6.6v RX pack. Incidentally both of these came from HobbyKing and really are top-notch kit. I did need a little more weight in the nose but the overall weight of the model was still very light.
Time to fly…
The test flights were made on a very windy day so I didn't get chance to do much flying but it did at least prove one thing – this is a real floater!
I've already made a towhook from Instamorph to use this model on the high-start. Hopefully when the wind dies down I can get out to the field for a bit of thermal action.
Overall I really like this model. It was just a quick build to fill an evening (sorry about the lack of photos) but it really has turned out to be an excellent addition to the Red20RC fleet.

Valley artist M. Louis Gore is the subject of a feature story in the Sayre Historical Society's latest Quarterly history magazine. The story focuses on Gore's "lost mural" at the Wilbur Hotel in Sayre.
Annual dinner to focus on "Remembering Our Past"
SAYRE – The Sayre Historical Society is hosting its annual dinner on Tuesday, March 12 at the Sayre High School with a program by Sayre historian James Nobles on "Remembering Our Past."
CAPTION: World War I soldiers returning home are pictured in the September 13, 1919 "Welcome Home Parade" in downtown Sayre. The parade and dedication of the World War I monument 100 years ago will be included in the March 12 annual dinner program sponsored by the Sayre Historical Society. (Photo courtesy of Jim Nobles)
Reservations for the dinner/program can be made by calling Mary Sargent at (570) 888-6081 or Tom Collins at (570) 888-6821. The dinner is open to the public. The deadline for reservations is March 1. The cost is $20.
The dinner will be prepared by the Nutrition Group at Sayre Area High School. The menu will feature chicken breasts in herbed sauce, meatballs marinara, pasta alfredo, tossed salad, seasoned green beans, dinner rolls, fruit crisp with ice cream and brownie sundaes. Doors open at 5:30 with dinner served at 6. The program will follow dinner.
The program on "Remembering Our Past" will be presented by the founder of the Sayre Historical Society who was a former history teacher and the first president of the non-profit organization when it was formed in 1989.
"Sayre experienced the same significant events over the past century as those which dominated the nation as a whole," said Nobles.
The presentation, which will follow the annual dinner, will highlight those national events by telling the story from the local point of view.
"The program will begin with the dedication of the Doughboy Monument in Howard Elmer Park and the celebratory parade in downtown Sayre honoring the returning veterans from World War I," he said.
"After a brief mention of the Roaring 20s in Sayre, considerable attention will be given to how the Great Depression of the 1930s was handled locally," said Nobles. "World War II dominated the following decade and included a tremendous effort to honor all those who served, resulting in a tremendous war memorial. Concluding the program will be mention of the demise of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in Sayre and the surge of Guthrie Healthcare System as the backbone of the community. All the topics will include numerous images of the times."
The Sayre Historical Society Museum will reopen for the 2019 season on Saturday, April 6 with a new exhibit "Working on the Railroad: Sayre and the Lehigh Valley Railroad" centering on the development of the railroad industry in Sayre from the late 1860's to the present time. Numerous rare images of local railroad employees at the Sayre Shops will be included in the exhibit.
The Sayre Historical Society is a non-profit historic preservation organization staffed by volunteers and located in the Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger Station. The member-supported group receives funds from the Bradford County United Way and the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency. Visit www.sayrehistoricalsociety.org or Facebook for more information.
Sayre Bottling Works featured in Winter Quarterly
SAYRE – The Winter Quarterly from the Sayre Historical Society features an account of the Sayre Bottling Works which was a successful beverage company until Prohibition in 1920. The illustrated booklet also has a story on former Sayre resident Peter Cacchione, who was elected a New York City Councilmen in the years following the Great Depression as well as a story on the 1916 wedding of Dr. Donald Guthrie to Emily Baker in New York City. A special feature of the Quarterly is a letter from the late President George W. Bush on the occasion of Sayre's Centennial in 1991.
CAPTION: A horse-drawn delivery wagon from the Sayre Bottling Works from about 1916, pictured above, is the cover photograph of the Winter issue of the Sayre Historical Society's Quarterly history magazine, now available.
The Quarterly is a benefit to members of the Sayre Historical Society and is delivered by mail to members four times per year. Individual copies are available from the Sayre Historical Society and Carl's News Stand in Sayre.
The Sayre Bottling Works was located at 117 N. Lehigh Avenue (near the location of the late Mac Davenport's Garage) in the years before Prohibition. The cover photograph shows the name "C.H. Honold" on the side of the wagon which is drawn by two white horses. Honold was born in Westfield, Pa. and worked for a time as a boiler inspector for a tannery in Powell, Pa. and later worked for Swift & Co. of Elmira. He passed away in 1949.
Honold was preceded as owner by Charles C. Wolfe who learned the trade of boilermaker and was employed as a boiler inspector in the roundhouse for the Lehigh Valley Railroad for 12 years. He passed away in 1909.
Wolfe was preceded at the Sayre Bottling Works by Eugene (Jud) Connelly who owned the popular Springs Corner Hotel and sponsored a well-known baseball team for many years. Connelly was involved in a tragic accident when the car he was driving was struck at a railroad crossing near Odessa, NY in 1913. Connelly was killed along with his daughters, Phoebe, age 22 and Carolyn, age 19. His wife was severely injured in the mishap.
According to the September 8, 1913 Wilkes-Barre Record, "Mr. Connelly was a prominent member of the Elks and in Sayre was regarded as one of the most progressive citizens of Bradford County. He was well-known throughout northeastern Pennsylvania and had resided in Sayre for many years."
A photograph of the Springs Corner Hotel is included in the article as well as an advertisement for the Sayre Bottling Works.Pete Cacchione was the subject of a book written in 1976 highlighting the rise of the former Sayre man and World War I veteran who became New York City's first councilman elected as a Communist during the years following the Great Depression.
"One would think that the story of Pete should long ago have engaged the attention of the chroniclers of the time," said author Simon Gerson. "Yet, except for a few writers of the left – and their accounts have been fragmentary – Pete has been largely ignored."
Gerson said Cacchione, whose sister was the well-known Molly Cacchione and whose parents operated a bakery on Sayre's East Side for many years, was "mourned by hundreds of thousands" when he passed away in 1947.
"Although his friendliness, zest for games and mischief had earned him wide popularity and lifelong friends, he was nevertheless the 'Italian boy,' marked as surely as through every day were Ash Wednesday," Gerson said. "He was the first Italian American ever to graduate from Sayre High School and he would have made it in three years if he hadn't fought the principal in the school basement for a remark the principal made which Pete interpreted as an insult to Italian-Americans. The impetuous Italian who had won his school letter in baseball and football soundly thrashed the school head and then won him as a friend for life."
A photograph of the Wilbur Hook & Ladder Co. Band of Sayre is featured in the booklet centerfold section. The photograph was donated by Patricia Bostwick Eddy of Farmington, NY.
The Winter Quarterly also includes an advertisement from the Sayre Theater from 1940 featuring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine in the movie Rebecca as well as movies featuring George Raft, Edward G. Robinson and Shirley Temple. The program was donated by Ted Pinkard of Sayre.
The inside back cover features a list of "WATS Tuff 20" from 1970 highlighting popular songs of the early Seventies including "The Long and Winding Road" by the Beatles, "Hitching a Ride" by Vanity Fair and "Band of Gold" by Freda Payne. The Top "20" Records "surveyed by Sayre radio station WATS-960 were available at the W.T. Grants Record Department located in the Valley Shopping Plaza for "only 77 cents each."
The Sayre Historical Society is a member-supported historic preservation organization staffed by volunteers. It is funded in part by the Bradford County United Way and the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency. Visit www.sayrehistoricalsociety.org or Facebook for additional information.
The museum is presently closed for the winter and will reopen on Saturday, April 6 with a new exhibit titled "Working on the Railroad: Sayre and the Lehigh Valley Railroad."
Unique model added to Sayre train show
SAYRE – Model Train Day will feature a unique model of the historic coal trestle of John H. Murray & Son painstakingly created in HO-scale by Rick Thorne of Athens. The annual event will be held on Saturday, November 24 at the Sayre Historical Society from10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
CAPTION: A model of the John H. Murray & Son Coal Trestle has been added to the annual Model Train Day at the Sayre Historical Society.
Admission is free.
The HO-scale model of the structure was constructed over hours of work, according to Thorne, a longtime local modeler. The actual building is located in South Waverly and was originally built in 1900.
The model train event will feature two operating model train layouts, special displays, memorabilia vendors and more.
One of the special displays at the museum is the scale model steam locomotive "Donald" built over 100 years ago by the late Michael Gorman of Sayre and loaned to the Sayre museum by his great-grandson, Mick Koons.
On the second floor of the museum, railroad memorabilia vendors will offer for sale a large variety of vintage railroad items.
Bob Gongleski of Vestal, NY specializes in LVRR ephemera including postcards, slides, photographs and books. Bob Pastorkey of Trackside Photo will have a large selection of 8 x 10 black and white photographs for sale. The photographs cover the Lehigh Valley, D.L. & W. and Erie-Lackawanna railroads. Richard Palmer, railroad author, is also scheduled to be present to sign copies of his books including The Coming of the Railroad to Sayre, and others. Local modeler Aaron Dickson will be demonstrating modeling techniques during the show.
A special display will recognize the contributions to preserving local history by Jim Spears and Gary Severn, both of Sayre.
Permanent exhibits at the museum focus on Sayre history including the Robert Packer Hospital, Dr. Donald Guthrie, downtown Sayre businesses, Belle Knitting, Sayre churches, and an entire room devoted to the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
A special exhibit in the Rotating Exhibit Room features "The Art of M. Louis Gore," a former Sayre resident who was a well-known local artist. The display includes numerous paintings, sketches and photographs from the Don Broughton Collection donated by Frank Evans of Sayre.
The museum is open Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. and Saturday's from 10 to 4 p.m. For additional information, visit the museum website at www.sayrehistoricalsociety.org or go to Facebook.
The all-volunteer museum is member-supported and a recipient of funds from the Bradford County United Way and the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency.
Gore's "lost mural" featured in Summer Quarterly
SAYRE - A ten-panel mural that once decorated the lobby of the Wilbur Hotel in Sayre created by local artist M.L. Gore is the subject of a story in the Sayre Historical Society Quarterly magazine.
CAPTION: Valley artist M. Louis Gore is the subject of a feature story in the Sayre Historical Society's latest Quarterly history magazine. The story focuses on Gore's "lost mural" at the Wilbur Hotel in Sayre.
The "lost mural" featured local scenes such as the Robert Packer Hospital, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Shops, Belle Knitting and Ingersoll-Rand, as well as the Ulster totem pole, Turn-of-the-Rocks and "the crest looking toward Towanda." Numerous photographs and sketches created by Gore were donated recently to the Sayre Historical Society by Frank Evans of Sayre.
The Sayre High School Class of 1967 is the featured photograph in the center section of the booklet which also includes the 1907 obituary of Sayre's namesake, Robert H. Sayre, and a story on the scale model steam locomotive named "Donald" built in the early 1900's by railroad engineer Michael Gorman.
The Quarterly, published four times a year, is mailed to historical society members as part of their membership benefits. Individual copies are available at Carl's News Stand in Sayre and the historical society museum located in the former Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger Station in downtown Sayre. Hours are Saturdays from 10 to 4 and Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m.
The story on Gore outlines the life of the well-known artist whose work is preserved in numerous paintings in private collections as well as the mural in Sayre High School depicting Shepard's mill in Sayre.
Gore was born on February 4, 1877 in Sheshequin and was a descendent of Judge Obadiah Gore who served under General John Sullivan during the Revolutionary War.
"While a young man, Gore spent time abroad studying and returned to the U.S. where he became employed by J.R. Myers in Steubenville, Ohio," according to the Quarterly article. "In that capacity, Gore did mural and decorating work in churches, theaters and libraries from the midwest to the eastern seaboard," according to his December 30, 1967 obituary.
An undated newspaper clipping included in the sketches and photographs donated by Evans documents the Wilbur Hotel mural which was completed in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
The clipping states that the work took about six months to complete and that pictures of the mural sections "would easily pass for pictures of the actual scenes." It was stated that Robert Adams, proprietor of the landmark Sayre hotel, was planning "extensive improvements in the lobby to have it in keeping with the beauty of the murals," according to the undated newspaper article.
In his full life, Gore participated in excavations at local prehistoric Indian sites including Spanish Hill. In 1951, Gore was the official advisor to the National Geographic Society during its expedition down the Susquehanna River commemorating General Sullivan's military campaign.
"Mr. Gore was soundly grounded in local history and was contacted by many persons interested in the historical background of this community," stated the obituary. "Until his last illness, he was adding to his collection of over 2,000 rare books among which are a predominant number covering the early history of Pennsylvania and Bradford County."
The Class of 1967 photograph was made available by the Sayre Area School District Archives and includes the names of each of the graduates. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Class of 1967.
The model of Lehigh Valley Railroad steam locomotive No. 218 has an interesting history which is recounted in the Quarterly. It was recently loaned to the Sayre Historical Society by Mick Koons of Pasadena, California, the great-grandson of Michael Gorman, the model builder who was also an engineer on the railroad. The name of the model memorializes Mr. Gorman's young son, who died in 1909 at the tender age of five due to complications from Scarlet Fever.
The model has been displayed in a number of places along the route of the railroad. According to the Nov. 27, 1975 Star-Gazette, "It's been a feature at a model railroaders convention in Niagara Falls, at the former Interstate Fair in Athens, in Cortland, at the Wagner Hotel in Waverly, in New York City several times, and in Ithaca, Buffalo, Lehigh headquarters at Bethlehem, Allentown and in Milwaukee, Wis., among other places." It 1991, it was displayed at the first Sayre History Fair at Sayre High School.
A final feature of the Summer Quarterly are two scrapbooks items from the Robert Felt Collection. Seaman Second Class John Cannavino was one of five sons of Mr. and Mrs. John Cannavino of Sayre in the service. He participated in the Allied invasion of Normandy. Naval Aviation Cadet John Luczejko, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Luczejko of Riverside Drive, Sayre was taking primary flight instruction in the Glenview, Ill. Naval Air Station.
A World War II-era poster for a block dance to benefit the Sayre Canteen and a 1953 local advertisement complete the issue.
A Genealogy Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, July 29 at the Sayre museum featuring local historian Henry Farley, president of the Bradford County Historical Society. A variety of resources including local directories, yearbooks, scrapbooks and railroad rosters will be available for research. Admission is free.
The Sayre Historical Society is a member-supported, non-profit organization and a recipient of funding from the United Way and the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency.
Sayre Museum Hosting Model Train Event
SAYRE - Model Train Day will be held Saturday, November 24 at the Sayre Historical Society featuring two operating model train layouts, special displays, memorabilia vendors and more.
CAPTION: Model steam locomotives, like the one shown above, will be among the features at the Sayre Historical Society's Annual Model Train Day on Saturday, November 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is free. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Two HO-scale model train layouts are permanent displays of the museum located in the historic Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger Station. The first includes a detailed replica of the Sayre station, the Desmond Street Park, and buildings on Desmond Street from the 1940's and 50's. It was built by Don "Buckshot" Murray, a Navy veteran who worked for General Electric and passed away in 2008. His wife was the former Nancy Springer of Sayre.
The second layout depicts a rugged coal mining operation and a small town typical of many communities along the route of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Located in the building's old baggage room, the layout was built by Charles Dixon and moved in two sections to the museum building and reassembled.
Another special display at the museum is the scale model steam locomotive "Donald" built over 100 years ago by the late Michael Gorman of Sayre and loaned to the Sayre museum by his great-grandson, Mick Koons. Built in memory of Mr. Gorman's five-year-old son, "Donald" is an operating model with moving driving rods, wheels and an accompanying music cylinder playing the song "Mr. Dooley." The century-old model has been on display in many places including the Wilkes-Barre LVRR station, movie houses and department stores in New York City, a model train convention in Niagara Falls, the former Interstate Fair in Athens, Bethlehem, Ithaca, Cortland, Buffalo and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1991, it was displayed at the first Sayre History Fair.
On the second floor of the museum, railroad memorabilia vendors will offer for sale a large variety of vintage railroad items.
Bob Gongleski of Vestal, NY specializes in LVRR ephemera including postcards, slides, photographs and books.
Bob Pastorkey of Trackside Photo will have a large selection of 8 x 10 black and white photographs for sale. The photographs cover the Lehigh Valley, D.L. & W. and Erie-Lackawanna railroads.
Permanent exhibits at the museum focus on Sayre history including the Robert Packer Hospital, Dr. Donald Guthrie, downtown Sayre businesses, Belle Knitting, Sayre churches, and an entire room devoted to the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
A special exhibit in the Rotating Exhibit Room focuses on "The Art of M. Louis Gore," a former Sayre resident who was a well-known local artist. The display includes numerous paintings, sketches and photographs from the Don Broughton Collection donated by Frank Evans of Sayre.
The museum is open Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. and Saturday's from 10 to 4 p.m. For additional information, visit the museum website at www.sayrehistoricalsociety.org or go to Facebook.
The all-volunteer museum is member-supported and a recipient of funds from the Bradford County United Way and the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency.
Railroad artist profiled in latest Sayre Quarterly
SAYRE - A pioneering photographer who created the large painting of the Black Diamond Express at the Sayre Historical Society is the subject of the cover story in the Spring issue of the Quarterly.
CAPTION 1: A photograph of the Black Diamond Express near Milan is identical to the painting done by William Rau that is located at the Sayre Historical Society.
William Herman Rau was hired by the Lehigh Valley Railroad in 1895 as their official photographer after a career documenting the western United States including Yellowstone. He also worked as the official photographer for the Pennsylvania Railroad in the early 1890's. The story of the Rau painting includes its donation by the sister of Earl Payne of Waverly who was a former railroad accountant and drug store operator, and the restoration of the painting by art conservator Anne O'Connor of New Burlington, Mass.
CAPTION 2: William Rau was the official photographer for the Lehigh Valley Railroad in the late 1890's.
The painting had been stored in the basement of Mr. Payne's daughter, Anna Frances Payne. Mr. Payne started his first drug store in the old Capital Theater in Waverly in 1928, according to his Nov. 11, 1959 obituary. He later purchased the building on the corner of Broad and Waverly streets from John Van Atta in 1937. Through the efforts of past historical society president Bill Ransom and with the help of Dan Leary of Waverly, the painting was donated to the Sayre museum.
Museum volunteer Ken Bracken, who helped package and ship the mammoth work of art to Massachusetts, said the painting had the "dubious distinction" of being the "filthiest painting (the art conservator) had ever worked on." The restoration was worth the effort.
In his long career, Rau was credited with documenting the 19th century industrial era of the United States with artistry and elegance.
A photography exhibit sponsored by Lehigh University in 1989 featured a booklet on the railroad era photographs by Rau and included an essay by Stephen Perloff, a photographer and educator.
"Whether he was photographing a rugged mountain pass, carefully manicured farmland, or the stark architecture of an engine house, Rau invariably seemed to find that one place that yielded marvel, grace, or sublimity," said Perloff.
A second article in the Quarterly covers the 1881 tree planting ceremony in memory of President Garfield sponsored by the Sayre Arbor Association. It includes a copy of the program presented to Lula Bishop for participating in the event. Each child participating received a commemorative medal with Garfield's likeness on one side and Lincoln's on the other. The commemorative program was donated to the Sayre Historical Society by Gwen Lacey.
The center section of the magazine shows the inside of the Assembly Hall at the Sayre Shops with a large group of railroad employees along with two bowling alleys and the Lehigh Shops Orchestra off to the side. The photograph is company-produced and dates from 1927.
A third story highlights a 1930 Robert Packer Hospital School of Nursing yearbook belonging to Monica Nunan. A variety of interesting facts is included in the article as well as illustrations of the School of Nursing building, Dr. Donald Guthrie, hospital superintendent Howard Bishop, nurse directress Nina Smith and Miss Nunan. The 1930 Nucleus yearbook was donated to the historical society by Linda (Spaulding) Fisk.
The final two articles in the Quarterly document the generous donations made to Sayre by the late Mary (Packer) Cummings, sister to Robert Packer and daughter of Asa Packer. The two articles - one from 1908 and the other from 1909 - discuss the donation of land to be used for the Parish House and the formal dedication of the Parish House on November 10, 1909. An aerial photograph of the Robert Packer Hospital from the 1950's includes the Parish House and the Church of the Redeemer. The photograph was donated by Eloise Wilson. A postcard view shows the Parish House and rectory next door.
A flyer advertising the "Grand Opening" of Oak Grove Park is reprinted on the inside back cover. A cover illustration of a flier from the 1930 World's Fair in Chicago promotes the Lehigh Valley Railroad and is included on the back cover.
The Quarterly is a benefit to members of the Sayre Historical Society and is mailed out four times per year. Individual copies are available from Carl's Newsstand in Sayre. The Sayre Historical Society will re-open for the season on Saturday, April 7 with a new exhibit on "The Fight for Liberty: Sayre in World War I," and a musical program of "Folk Songs and Popular Music of World War I." Admission is free.
The Sayre Historical Society is member-supported and a recipient of funds from the Bradford County United Way and the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency.
Hotel man profiled in new Sayre Quarterly
SAYRE - Robert Adam of Sayre was the proprietor of the Wilbur Hotel in the years following the Great Depression and Sayre's No. 1 Elk when he passed away in 1962. His story is told in the Winter issue of the Sayre Historical Society Quarterly.
CAPTION: Robert Adam, a prominent hotel owner in Sayre in the 1930's and 40's and a charter member of the Sayre Elks Lodge, is featured in the Winter issue of the Sayre Historical Society Quarterly. (Photo courtesy of Agnes Griffin)
Included in the 20-page booklet are numerous historic photographs of the landmark hotel located on the corner of Desmond Street and W. Packer Avenue in downtown Sayre. Built in 1880 by Robert A. Packer, the hotel has undergone numerous transformations over 137 years including a 2001 renovation by Trehab that brought the historic brick structure back to its original splendor.
It was a different scene when Adam bought a run-down establishment in 1932 and remade the hotel into one of Bradford County's largest, and next to the Ward House in Towanda, its most famous hostelry, according to a 1962 Evening Times newspaper account.
Adam also served as exalted ruler of the Sayre Elks on two occasions and was a founding member of the lodge when it was formed in 1909, according to his obituary. He served as district deputy in 1932, the first from Sayre, and was president of the Northeast District Elks Association in 1941.
Adam, one of 12 children, came to Sayre when he was five years old. His father (James Adam) was chief bill clerk for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. According to his obituary, Adam had learned the trade of boilermaker as an apprentice in the Sayre System Shops and worked for the Lackawanna Railroad before returning to Sayre. As a teenager, Adam had the distinction of being the "youngest car chalker" in the United States, his obituary stated.
In 1907, he opened the Central Cigar Store on Desmond Street and later turned to hotel management.
A number of rare photographs of Adam and the Wilbur Hotel were donated to the historical society by his daughter, Agnes Griffin of Sayre.
The Quarterly is published four times per year and is a membership benefit of the Sayre Historical Society. Individual copies are available at Carl's New Stand on Desmond Street in Sayre. Visit www.sayrehistoricalsociety.org for more information on membership.
Other stories in the winter issue include the memories in 1937 of a 90-year-old Sayre resident by the name of Augustus P. Kremer. Mr. Kremer's recollections were included in an article from the Sayre Evening Times newspaper. The article appeared in a scrapbook of Valley items compiled by Miss Mary Frost of Waverly and recently donated to the Sayre Historical Society by Rose Lerche.
Mr. Kremer was a former freight clerk in Sayre when the town's first railroad station was located between the tracks east of the present two-story brick passenger station built in 1881. He married Carrie Bradley of Sayre in 1885. The couple had a daughter named Nora and a son, Edwin. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1935.
Mr. Kremer lived at 306 S. Keystone Avenue in West Sayre and described the main thoroughfare at the time as a "muddy lane" with few houses and mostly farm lands and vacant plots.
The article said Mr. Kremer remained neutral in political discussions, kept out of arguments and was reported to be in good health.
Mr. Kremer attributes his health and long life to non-use of liquor and tobacco, which, especially for the former, he says he has seen put many in their graves, according to the news account.
The center section of the booklet features a photograph of the 1962 Epiphany eighth grade graduating class. Father Francis Toolan is surrounded by 26 graduates.
Sayre's walk bridge is also highlighted in the winter issue featuring the reminiscences of Dr. Jeremy Plant who photographed the bridge starting in 1967. His recollections appeared in a 2008 issue of Milepost magazine, a publication by the Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
My older brother Jeffrey was (and is) an active rail fan also, and was finishing his law studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, less than an hour away from Sayre, he said. So it was a mecca for us to visit on weekends when I could combine rail fanning with a fraternal visit.
Seven photographs showing the walk bridge or views from the walk bride are included with the article. One of the photographs showing Lehigh Valley Railroad diesel locomotives beneath the walk bridge was taken by well-known railroad photographer J. J. Young of Binghamton.
Plant, who has authored or co-authored more than 20 books on railroad subjects, referred to the landmark Sayre structure as the "Railfan Bridge." He is a professor of public policy and administration at Penn State Harrisburg.
A 1916 article from the Elmira Telegram newspaper recounts the amazing exploits of champion checker player James Adams of Sayre who defeated 15 rivals in a competition held in Elmira. The competition took place at Lagonegro's Cigar Store.
Just to make the matter binding, he sent word up from Sayre that on Thursday evening, April 20, he was not booked for a ladies sewing society or a pink tea and could drop in any decent place in Elmira and run off a couple of rounds, with the best the city afforded in the line of expert movers, fifteen at a time, the 1916 article said. The word went out, and clans from the office, meat market, factory and banks commenced to collect.
In the final tally, the Sayre checker "champeen" won 17 matches, lost 4 and had nine draws.
A postcard view of the Methodist Church in Sayre from the Marty Smith Collection is also included in the Winter issue. A program cover from the 21st Annual Banquet of the Sayre Sportsmen's Club from 1957 is also included. The back cover features a photograph of the Art Reagan Jewelers sign that graced the landmark Sayre jewelry store for many years.
The historical society, located in the Lehigh Valley Railroad passenger station in downtown Sayre, is a recipient of funds from the United Way of Bradford County. The membership-supported organization, which reopens on April 7 with "The Fight for Liberty: Sayre in World War I," also receives funds from the Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency.
New book published on the early railroad in Sayre
SAYRE - A new book on the early history of the railroad in Sayre by railroad historian Richard Palmer has been published by the Sayre Historical Society. The new book covers the earliest years of the railroad in Sayre including numerous photographs and illustrations as well as a detailed chronology of events. The 60-page soft-cover book is the third book by Palmer that has been published by the historical society.
CAPTION: The coal pockets of the Pennsylvania & New York Railroad are pictured in a new book on The Coming of the Railroad to Sayre by railroad historian Richard Palmer published by the Sayre Historical Society. The coal trestle was located near exit 61 of Route 86 near the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn in Sayre.
All three books are available in the Burkhart Gift Shop at the museum located in the historic Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger station in downtown Sayre. Museum hours are Saturdays from 10 to 4 and Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m.
An addendum to the book includes reminisces of John Fitzgerald of New Albany on his work experiences with the Pennsylvania & New York Railroad in 1867. Excerpts of a diary by railroad supervisor John Rahm in 1869 detail the construction of the P & NY Railroad which was later absorbed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Lists of early locomotives on the P & NY Railroad and Early Lehigh Valley Locomotives Spotted in Sayre - 1869 to 1872 are also included in the fact-filled booklet.
In the book, Palmer documents the early history of railroading in the Penn-York Valley with mention of the Tioga Point Railroad in 1841.
The proposal was to build a 4 mile railroad from Athens, at the head of the contemplated North Branch Canal to Waverly, to connect with the New York & Erie Railroad, Palmer writes. The route was surveyed by Ira Spaulding, a local civil engineer and a charter was granted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It was capitalized at $50,000. Its purpose was to connect the Wyoming Coal Valley with the interior of New York State.
Palmer examines the role of the Erie, Lehigh Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroads in the Valley. He also covers the North Branch Canal, the Barclay Railroad and the Towanda Coal Company and their influence in the development of the railroad in Sayre.
The Barclay Coal Co. operated its own trains over the completed portion between Towanda and Waverly, being pulled by its locomotives Greenwood, Lamoka and Waverly, according to Palmer. On June 4, 1870, the Waverly drew from the foot of the incline plane at Barclay to Waverly, 100 loaded coal cars, a baggage car and two passenger coaches. This was said to have been the largest train ever drawn by one locomotive over the road.
Palmer is the author of numerous books and magazine article on railroads in Central New York. Palmer's previous books for the Sayre Historical Society include The Handsomest Train in the World: The First Twenty-Five Years of the Lehigh Valley Railroad's Black Diamond Express and A Moment in Time: Theodore Roosevelt's Presidential Special to Chautauqua in 1905.

The greatest benefit of contacting the spirit realm on Halloween is that a greater population of people will be focusing upon opening up that connectivity.
Langhorne, PA (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
Halloween, Samhein, All Saints' Day, Dio de los Muertos: Call it what you will, there's something spiritual brewing toward the end of the month of October and the beginning of November. But does that mean this is a particularly auspicious time for reaching out to the "other side?"
According to top online psychics at Psychic Source, the most respected psychic service provider since 1989, any time is a good time to connect with the spiritual world – if you're a seasoned professional. But if your contact with nether realms is less regular, October in general, particularly – Halloween, can indeed be a good time to make that spiritual connection. And even professionals may find it easier to see past the "veil" when so much energy is concentrated in that direction.
"I know they say the veils are the thinnest during this time and maybe there is some truth to that," says psychic Mena, "but who is to say if it is that or the mere fact that we are actually paying closer attention at this time?" Psychic Shanti agrees, adding "the heightened awareness of the public to the spiritual world (admittedly commercial though it is) makes it easier to connect."
Some of the traditions and trappings of the Halloween season make it easier, as well, according to Psychic Yoly, who says that "having candles lit all over the house welcomes spiritual connections, and therefore spirit guides are more in tune." Psychic Josephine adds that at this time of year "we magically sense a deeper level of spiritual truth as the spiders spin their webs at night."
So if you want to "open the clairvoyant channel," says psychic Karenna, you can do it any time through a gifted medium. But on Halloween psychic and spiritual readings can be especially productive because "messages flow effortlessly."
Bottom line: Take advantage of the spiritual focus of Halloween to make connections to the spirit world, but don't forget that, as psychic Monique emphasizes, "spiritual happenings occur 365 days a year!"

Pheochromocytoma (adrenaline-producing adrenal tumor)
This document is available in Spanish
What is the chance that this is genetic?
As our understanding of human genetics increases, scientists have found that approximately 25 to 30% of all cases of pheochromocytomaPheochromocytoma - a disease where too much adrenaline is being made by an adrenal tumor are genetic (i.e. inherited or familial). There are 4 main syndromes associated with pheochromocytoma:
von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (vHL)
Patients with vHL can develop pheochromocytomas (often bilateral), paragangliomas, retinal angiomas (eye tumors), central nervous system hemangioblastomas (brain tumors), renal cell (kidney) carcinoma, renal and pancreatic cysts, pancreatic endocrine tumors, and epididymal cystadenoma. Many mutations have been identified in the vHL gene which is found on chromosome 3. In some families with vHL, pheochromocytoma is the only sign of the syndrome. Overall, about 10 to 20% of vHL patients will develop pheochromocytomas. Bilateral tumors may present synchronously (i.e. at the same time) or separately over the course of many years.
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2A and 2B (MEN2A and 2B)
Mutations in the RET gene are responsible for tumor development in MEN2. There are two forms of MEN2:
In MEN 2A syndrome, pheochromocytomas are usually bilateral but may be asynchronous (i.e. develop separately over time). They occur in about 50% of MEN2A patients and are associated with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and hyperparathyroidism. (See Parathyroid and Medullary Thyroid Cancer)
MEN2B (which accounts for 5% of MEN2 cases) syndrome includes pheochromocytomas (usually bilateral), MTC, mucosal neuromas (bumps on the lips, tongue, and eyelids), thickened corneal nerves over the front of the eye, intestinal ganglioneuromatosis, and a marfanoid body habitus (i.e. tall and thin with long handsAbraham Lincoln likely had Marfan's Disease).
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-
NF1 is also known as von Recklinghausen's disease. NF1 is the result of a mutation in chromosome 17 and is characterized by café au lait lesions (i.e. coffee-colored skin spots) and tumors arising from nerve cells in the skin. Pheochromocytoma can occur in up to 5% of cases. They can be both in the adrenal and outside of the adrenal, but are rarely bilateral.
Familial Paraganglioma Syndrome
Pheochromocytomas can also occur (albeit rarely) in association with familial paragangliomaParaganglioma - a disease where too much adrenaline is being made by a tumor outside the adrenal glands syndromes caused by mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) gene. Mutations in the B, C, and D parts of the SDH gene lead to different forms of the disease. The role for routine screening for mutations in the SDH gene is controversial, but some have argued for testing for B and D mutations, particularly in the presence of a paraganglioma. Mutations in the C subunit have been reported rarely so it is not routinely tested for.
The two most common familial disorders associated with pheochromocytoma are vHL and MEN2A/2B. Pheochromocytomas have also been associated with Carney's triad (gastrointestinal stromal tumors, pulmonary chondromas, and paragangliomas), as well as other rare neurocutaneous syndromes: ataxia telangiectasia, tuberous sclerosis, and Sturge-Weber syndrome.
Many of these syndromes involving pheochromocytoma are autosomal dominant, which means that offspring (i.e. children) have a 50% chance of developing the disease. For patients with pheochromocytoma, genetic testing should be considered if a patient has one or more of the following:
- Diagnosis at younger than 30 years old
- Bilateral pheochromocytomas
- Paraganglioma
- Family history of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma
- Family history of the syndromes previously described
- Other signs or symptoms of the syndromes previously described
For family members of patients with pheochromocytoma, genetic testing should only be done if the family member with the disease has a known genetic mutation. Genetic counseling is strongly urged to help families understand the implications of genetic testing, to coordinate testing of at-risk individuals, and to help families work through the psychosocial issues that may arise before, during, and after the testing process. Genetic testing is expensive and should be performed in a stepwise fashion (i.e. the patient should be tested to identify the genetic mutation and then other family members should be tested for only that genetic mutation) so as to decrease the number of tests performed.
The role for genetic testing in patients with sporadic (i.e. non-familial) pheochromocytomas remains unclear. It is important to discuss this question with your physician or seek an evaluation with a genetic counselor. In the near future, there may be a role for genetic testing in patients with malignant (i.e. cancerous) pheochromocytoma to help identify drug therapies that may be effective against their tumor. For example, a drug aimed at RET and HIF1 (genes affected in tumors with vHL and SDH mutations) is in clinical trials for other tumors. For patients with malignant pheochromocytomas, these types of new drugs hold promise as another way of treating their disease.
