It's apparent that investing time into a child's early musical education equates itself to time well spent. Other than the obvious benefits of them being able to play their favourite pieces of music with joy or having a sense of pride in achieving a brand new skill, it also rewards the child in their growth as an individual, expanding both their mental and physical abilities concurrently.
Playing an instrument in general demands many aspects of critical thinking and problem solving. Needless to say, if you look at someone's mind through an MRI machine while they play an instrument, it'll light up like a fireworks show on National Day (minus the complaints that the show is too short).
From figuring out the proper melody on a piano to making sure you are staying within the tempo of the piece, it puts someone in a situation where they exercise their mind in real time – through art!
On top of that, learning music actually enables them to fully learn how to physically and mentally coordinate themselves (hand-eye coordination) as well as keeping their attention on track while playing through a particular piece of music.
As someone who embarked on his music journey early on, I am eternally grateful that my parents took the time to expose me to the beautifully vast world of music through a very specific medium – the drums.
If you are currently reading this, chances are you belong to the same group of young parents that may be wondering the same thing that you are – Should I enrol my child for drum classes? If so, what should I be expecting in drum lessons for kids? What kind of teacher would be good for my child? What happens in a typical drum lesson? Do I need to get that gigantic wooden waste of space and will my neighbours hate me for it?
Fret not, in this article, we will cover information about the drums, benefits, costs, and what to expect from a drum lesson.
In a nutshell, the drums are essential to plenty of styles of music. Styles such as Pop, Rock, Jazz, Samba, Reggae, Blues, Soul, Swing and many, many more that I'll not attempt to list out in one breath. More often than not, most drumming instructors will cater to a more Pop & Rock-centric lesson plan. As most Pop & Rock music puts a lot of emphasis on drums and beats, these genres are a lot more accessible for the early music learner. Through it, they will most likely be able acquire all the building blocks necessary to proceed to the next level in the most timely way.
First and foremost, drum lessons begin with a specific amount of time catered to warming up the body. Drumming is a craft that is arguably the most physically demanding, as it requires the player to utilise all their limbs – the right and left arm/hand along with the right and left leg. As such, it is important that a student is well limbered up via doing a couple of quick and easy stretching routines. Tip: warm up before class!
Once everyone is good and warmed up, a teacher would normally dive into a 10-minute routine of hand-rudiments. What are rudiments? Think of full sentences as pieces of music; the letters and alphabets are the rudiments. The better a student can execute their rudiments, the better they can execute pieces of music.
Rudiments are the bedrock of drumming as they enable a player to be able to systematically categorise rhythmic patterns and sequences, which are the building blocks to playing the drums.
Throughout the lesson (depending on the current level that the student is at) there will be a certain degree of music theory involved, where the student would have to read music off a score in order to understand what is required of them to play in the song. However, this should not overshadow their practice in being able to play-by-ear. As a student of the drums myself, having a keen ear to single out beats and rhythms just by listening to the music is the most important aspect of drumming (and music, in general).
Lastly, the lesson should fully conclude anything new that has been covered in the beginning. A summary of sorts, where the student will take whatever they've learned and put it into real-time application. For example; if a student learns a certain kind of pattern or beat, it would be put into context via a play-along setting where they play to recorded music. This will allow the student to not only practice what they've learned, but also to simulate what it feels like to perform in an ensemble – which is also incredibly essential to mastering the drums.
Music is truly a language, and like any language, the student has to learn how to write it, read it, and last but most definitely not least, speak it. Each lesson should holistically encompass this ethos and constantly work the different aspects of learning music as a language.
Common questions amongst parents are – What is the right age for me to start my child on the drums? Well truthfully speaking, there is no right or wrong age! As soon as they show interest in it, they can begin their music journey.
However, there is a tiny little setback when it comes to drums. A child can be of any age however they should be at a certain height as the instrument itself is a huge one (even at its smallest manufactured size). That being said, normally a child who is between the ages of 6-8 years old is more than ready to pick up a pair of sticks and hit the skins.
For parents who's kids are a little slower on the growth scale (much like myself) – there's absolutely nothing to worry about. What you can do is start them will a little toy drum kit at home, where they can cultivate the interest on their own while those bones and muscles are growing. That way, once they have reached a certain height and they're able to fully reach all the different components in a standard drum kit easily, they'll be all up and ready for lessons.
Another common question that comes up is – Are the drums hard to learn? How can I motivate my child to play the drums?
Each and every instrument comes with its own variety of challenges. When it comes to the drums, it isn't a difficult instrument to start playing. However, much like other instruments, it requires patience and practice to fully master it in the long run. My best advice to parents is to not look for results as a marker for the significance of early music education. Music serves a much bigger purpose and the process of learning, enjoyment and self-discovery is the reward.
That being said, motivation is also a key factor is ensuring that your child puts in the time to practice their craft. The more invested the child is in the instrument, the more discoveries he/she will make on their own accord. I remember being a young boy and constantly wanting to discover more music, learn more new things so that I can play them effortlessly. This resulted in a very conducive environment where I would gather all the information that I get from lessons and putting them into my own perspective and applying them to my own inspirations.
The greatest thing that can come out of taking music lessons is not to be a great musician, but to gain the quality of understanding through art along with the effort and patience that it takes in order to achieve a goal – be it a complicated piece of music or a simple little jingle that makes you bop your head every now and then.
By its nature, the drum kit is quite a hassle of an instrument to handle – especially so at home. It is technically a bunch of small parts and key components (cymbals, drums, stands, clutches, pedals) bundled up into one big chunk of musical goodness. On top of that, for home use, it is not the most friendly instrument to have around as the traditional acoustic drum kit is costly to mute and even if it is, it's still pretty loud and might cause a rift between you and your neighbours.
Thankfully, we are in the 21st century. Digital drum kits are widely available and they are much more economical in terms of cost, space, overall noise reduction, along with the added benefit of having a multitude of drum sounds to play with. They're able to be used via an external speaker or even just with a set of headphones. A Yamaha DTX402K electronic drum kit costs about $600.00 and is a perfect starting kit for home practice.
That aside, even if having a drum kit at home may not be the most suitable situation, parents may purchase the next best thing – practice pads! These would go for less than
$100.00 and would definitely enable a student to practice their hand/leg rudiments easily as the skills are transferable to a drum kit.
All things considered, having music lessons early on can only benefit a child's growth even if they don't fully continue on and be the next Neil Peart or the next Buddy Rich (I'm still trying). The micro lessons that they learn through putting things together and executing specific things on the drum kit are skills that can be transferred to any other form of cognitive thinking and problem solving. Needless to say, they will enjoy discovering new forms of music to play to, as well as be able to speak with the terminology of music that will definitely add up to their identity in the long haul.
On top of that, they will gain personal confidence from achieving a skill that is uniquely their own, along with being able to perform music that they love, for themselves and for their loved ones.
What kind of music should I get my child exposed to?
– Anything and everything. The more they're exposed to, the more then will absorb and subconsciously adapt into playing their instrument!
Should my child pick up another instrument while taking drum lessons?
– Yes. Preferably a melodic Instrument that they can put together with the rhythmic knowledge they learn from the drums.
Is it compulsory for my child to take exams?
– No. It is encouraged if he/she is interested in it, however it is not a necessity – especially during the early stages.
What is the best age for my child to start?
– 6-8 years old for drums as a rule of thumb.
Can adults do it too?
– For sure, there are plenty of adult students who take drum lessons as a hobby and enjoy the time they have to play the music they're passionate about.

A new bench mark in reel design the Hardy Ultralite MTX is Hardy's first fly reel to feature a Hybrid Carbon fibre / alloy main frame construction. Strong, light and with a stunning industrial design the MTX features a Carbon fibre drag system with 340 degree colour coded regulator, captive spool release and high line capacity.
For a reel that is carbon fibre and alloy, it is incredibly light but sturdy. Therefore it will balance perfectly with good quality single hand fly rods, and will offer years of reliable, usage.
The reel comes in 3 sizes, 3000, 5000 and 7000 models. The 3000 model is for size three to five weight fly lines which is perfect for smaller rivers, streams and light stillwater use. The 5000 takes you from a six weight up to a seven weight, so this is ideal for larger rivers, stillwaters, and lochs. The 7000 goes from seven weight up to a nine weight so great for heavier lines and bigger flies.
The colour coded drag system is beneficial, providing a visual guide when you need to apply just the right amount of pressure on the spool. Having a colour guide can be particularly helpful when you are trying to land fish in highly oxygenated water where their fighting qualities are extraordinary, or if you happen to hook a large fish on light leaders and small flies. The colours go from red - the tightest setting, amber - increased tension, and green marks no drag.
Replacing the spool on the MTX is very easy. Simply unscrew the cap, remove the spool and replace with the new spool. This lets you change fly lines quickly and efficiently, for example, say you want to change from a floating fly line to a sinking fly line but don't want to interrupt your fishing too much.
Summary of main features:
- Hybrid Carbon fibre/Alloy main frame design
- Stunning industrial design
- Carbon fibre disc drag system
- Colour coded drag regulator

Taxpayers could save more than $2 million a year if it weren't for a group of breakaway Democrats who need their own support staff in the state Senate, critics say.
The Independent Democratic Conference, who vote with Republicans, pay some 40 staffers about $2.2 million a year, Senate payroll records show.
"The bottom line is that money is going to a conference that doesn't need to exist," one critic told The Post.
If the group simply called themselves Republicans, those staffers would not be needed and taxpayers would reap the savings, the source said.
"The 'C' in IDC must stand for cash," said Doug Kellogg, of the government reform group Reclaim New York.
Members of the IDC and GOP insist the money comes from the Senate's overall budget and would be added to one of the two other parties' spending pots if the IDC didn't spend it.

On the weekend I visited my local flower show, the Bilpin Flower Show. This show, which is held in the community hall at Bilpin, has been running for 52 years – just two years longer than the Bathurst 1000 car race which was the same weekend and just two hours up the road. Many of the cars flashing by on Bells Line of Road, past the banners for the flower show, were on their way to Bathurst.
This is a true old-fashioned flower show with entries displayed in glass bottles ranged along trestle tables in the hall. Entries are judged by a professional floral judge and first, second and highly commended are awarded in each section.
Local bushfire brigade members were on hand serving tea, coffee and homemade cakes, while people from the Bilpin Garden Club, who organise the show, took the $4 entry fees and sold raffle tickets.
Outside were plant stalls with lily-of-the-valley, hellebore, viburnum and other cool climate plants for sale along with gardening books, magazines, knitted offerings and local produce. And, this being Bilpin, buckets of cut waratah flowers were also on offer at $4 per stem.
But everything is not blooming at the Bilpin Flower Show. Show convenor Liz Miller is worried that the show will fade away as no one is putting up a hand to help run next year's event – although there were plenty of helpers on the day. She and other members are also concerned that entries were down this year, as were visitors. Even tea and coffee sales were slow – despite the delicious cakes and sandwiches.
Long-term club member Toni Dingle says she feels people have very high expectations. Each year, she says, doesn't have to be bigger and better – it just has to be the Bilpin Flower Show.
It's almost as if they are expecting to find the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show in the Bilpin Community Hall, but it is just a charming community event. Toni says we all have to realise that it's the local flower show; nothing more, nothing less. But it has a wonderful atmosphere, a lovely collection of flowers to enjoy, as well as offering the chance to see neighbours and showcase the local community to visitors.
Club membership however is strong with members from Bilpin and Kurrajong, so I am hopeful the group will rally to make sure that 2013 sees the 53rd Bilpin Flower Show on the first weekend in October.
I may even enter – I am pretty proud of my beautiful iris stem (pictured) which seems to be in bloom at the right time and I think my dwarf tulbaghia (pictured) could be the basis for "a miniature flower decoration under 15cm".
The rise and fall and rise of garden clubs makes an interesting study. I have been ringing garden clubs to get email addresses for each group (part of some PR work I am doing for Wildwood Garden, which is opening on October 19 at Bilpin – for more on that see www.wildwoodgarden.com.au).
Lots of calls and lots of interesting conversations. It didn't start well. One of the first people I spoke to, the wife of the secretary of the Bundeena Garden Club, told me the club was folding on Monday. Another secretary told me they no longer did tours, but after these two set backs I found enthusiastic and well organised groups of people. But many did mention the difficulties their groups were encountering in getting members to take on office bearer positions.
Robert Hickel from the Avoca Garden Club for example told me he'd recently taken on the role of president of his club and also of the local bromeliad club as no one else had wanted to do it.
By and large the increase in interest in productive and community gardening has seen an resurgence in membership of garden clubs. However, to get younger people to feel committed enough to take on duties such as secretary or president, clubs need to embrace modern technology and social media.
Very few groups have dedicacted websites or email addresses and I don't think any of them have a Facebook site, Twitter address or a blog.
They also need to be more flexible with meeting times. Most of them meet at 10am on a weekday, which rules out members who work, although some have evening or weekend meetings.
If you are not a member of your local garden club, consider joining (I can help with an email address!) or failing that, offer your time to give a talk or provide some prizes for a raffle. You'll find a delightful group of people who have been brought together by their love of gardens and plants and you'll feel part of your local community.

Robber J.A. Crossley Asks to be Kept in the Oregon State Penitentiary
By Kylie Pine
When faced with the chance of freedom after long confinement at the Oregon State Penitentiary, most prisoners might look forward with great anticipation to their release. That wasn't the case for J.A. Crossley when he was granted parole on Friday, October 13, 1911. Per a small article in Capital Journal, it appears he "asked to be permitted to stay in one day longer. He had just $23 in pocket, and it was Friday, the 13th of the month, with a comet in sight. He thought the combination too heavy for him to tackle."[1] At first I was pretty incredulous, but further digging revealed facts that documented the newspaper account and told the very interesting story of Crossley's criminal activities across Oregon over 100 years ago.
The Oregonian, in a corroborating article, stated "[Crossley] considered the ill-omened "23" bad enough, but with the added complications of Friday and the 13th day he was insistent that he be allowed to remain over a day."[2] Crossley was eventually persuaded to leave by a parole officer on the 13th, a fact supported by a hand written notation in red ink beneath a blue "Paroled" stamp in the Oregon State Penitentiary Register at the Oregon State Archives.[3] The Oregonian reports that Crossley was sent to live with an uncle in Louisiana. Unfortunately, this is where the document trail goes cold and we may never really know if his superstitions came to pass.[4]
We can, however, wade our way through a series of aliases and put together a pretty clear picture of Crossley's criminal exploits. When unluckily paroled in
1911, he was two years into a seven-year sentence for "larceny in a store," a result of his involvement in blowing up a safe in and then setting fire to a store in Weston, Oregon near Pendleton.[5] In a scene that would read right out of a movie, Crossley (then going under the alias J.A. Murray) and two associates broke into the Sim Culley's store and blew up the safe. Accounts differ, either the explosion led to a fire that caused $5,000 worth of damage, or the burglars sought revenge after only finding $5 of loot in the safe and intentionally set the blaze. The burglars then made their escape on a railroad handcar (imagine pretty much every cartoon you have ever seen) they had stolen from the nearby station and led the sheriff and his deputy on a 24-hour chase through several counties and two states before getting caught at Wallula.[6]
This was not Crossley's first run in with the law. He was convicted of a similar heist at a bank in Lebanon, Oregon in 1905 for which he received a five-year sentence at the Oregon State Penitentiary. The M.O. was the same: blow up the safe, take the money, escape on a handcar. Operating under the alias Harry Reynolds with the cover story that he was scouting a location to build a new saloon, Crossley and three accomplices crept through town early on the morning of February 7th, picked the lock on the bank's front door, blew open the "burglar proof chest," took between $5,000-8,000, and fled on stolen railroad velocipedes. Accounts and testimony at the trial vary widely, but the four appear to split soon after the break-in, taking different trains to different locations to try to throw of the scent of pursuit. Ironically, the testimony indicates that talked to (and ate with) a lot of people along the way. Crossley ended up in Portland where he unwisely boasted to Minnie Schultz of Portland, showing her a mutilated gold coin "which had been battered by the force of the explosion."[7] Crossley and one accomplice were picked up in Portland, tried and convicted.
Their other accomplices, later identified as the notorious James Johnson a.k.a. Toronto Jimmy and the jail busting "cracksman and bank burglar" William "Doc" Davenport escaped capture. [8] Toronto Jimmy, the purported leader of the gang, was "known to every detective in the United States." The gang was credited for several crimes including a Newberg bank robbery and the hold up of an Oregon & Railroad and Navigation Train at Sullivan's Gulch. Toronto Jimmy was a smooth customer and the papers were quick to point out that he bamboozled his way into "the most exclusive society of Portland…under another name [he] played golf and cricket with some of the most prominent men of Portland." Unlike Crossley, Toronto Jimmy eluded capture until 1908, when he was picked up on the streets of Cincinnati. [9]
Little is known about Crossley's early life. One newspaper account claims he was a notorious pickpocket from St. Louis.[10] Census and booking records indicate he was born in Kentucky in about 1870, was single, protestant and worked at various times as a railroad switchman.[11] As a prisoner he was apparently well behaved. One notice claims that he and his fellow accomplice had made the "good prisoner's list" and spent most of his time working as an "oiler in the pump house."[12] His conduct was good enough to merit a year and a half reduction to his first sentence.[13]

Excerpts from Primary Source Materials
Bold Bank Robbery
Capital Journal, 8 February 1905
Four cracksman dynamited the vaults of the Lebanon bank last night, and secured $8000 and escaped, going down the railway several miles on a velocipede, to where their horses were concealed. The lock of the front door was picked. They blew the entire front of the safe out and gathered the coin in sacks. A posse is in pursuit.
Fails to get Out
Oregonian, 15 February 1905, page 10
J.A. Crossley, alias Harry Reynolds, one of the men held in the County Jail on suspicion of having been implicated in the Lebanon Bank robbery was brought before Judge George yesterday in response to a petition for a write of habeas corpus….The sheriff also exhibited to the court a number of $20 pieces which have a battered appearance. This, he explained, was caused by the effects of the explosion of the bank vault. This money, amounting altogether to $900, was obtained from Mrs. Robert Schulze, wife of a saloonkeeper at the corner of Second and Clay streets. Crossley was arrested at 313 Second street, which is close by this saloon. After examining the return of the Sheriff….
Guilty of Robbery
Oregonian, 17 March 1905
Dunn and Crossley Broke Open Lebanon Bank.
The Jury quickly Decides
Kingsley and Darland, Two members of the Gang who escaped, also found guilty, as charged in the indictment.
Eli Dunn and J.A. Crossley, alias Reynolds, were found guilty of robbing the bank of Lebanon the night of February 7 in the Circuit Court here tonight. The jury was out an hour and 30 minutes before returning with the verdict. Judge Burnett will impose sentence Monday at 1 o'clock.
John Doe and Richard Roe (Kingsley and Darland), who escaped capture, were also found guilty as charged in the information.
The Defense concluded the presentation of its testimony at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, after placing several witnesses on the stand to prove an alibi for Dunn and showing that Crossley had plenty of money before the bank robbery. The remainder of the afternoon was given over to the pleas of the attorneys.
Deputy District Attorney Gale S. Hill spoke for the prosecution and was followed by George W. Wright and John Ditchburn for the defense. A recess was then taken until 7 o'clock tonight, when District Attorney John H. McNary concluded the case for the state. The case was given to the jury at 8:25 o'clock and the verdict guilty as charged was returned at 9:45.
The testimony introduced in the trial of J.A. Crossley, alias Reynolds, and Eli Dunn, charged with the Lebanon Bank robbery, is rather conflicting. The prosecution used a strong chain of evidence to prove that the robbery was committed by four men, who walked from Albany to Lebanon the evening of the robbery, came back to this city on railroad tricycles stolen from Southern Pacific section gangs between Albany and Lebanon, made their way "across country" to the West Side Railroad and took the northbound Portland-Corvallis train at different stations on the afternoon following the night of the robbery.
The evidence introduced goes to show that these four men were Crossley, Dunn, Kingsley, and Darling. The two former, who are the defendants in the present trial and are prisoners here, have been identified by several witnesses, who saw them at Albany and at different places on the West Side, and the description the witnesses have given of their companions tally with the published descriptions of Kingsley and Darling.
The defense, in its testimony, admitted that Crossley was in Albany and at the other places, where the witnesses for the prosecution have identified him, but denied he was ever in or near Lebanon, and alleged he was up the valley on business. Dunn, the defense alleged, was in Portland when the robbery was committed, and the attorneys for the defendants attempted to prove an alibi for him. Dunn and Crossley both admit they were in Albany together early in February, but deny ever being associated with any man answering the description of Kingsley and Darling.
The introduction of testimony began yesterday afternoon and the evidence introduced by the attorneys for the prosecution was as follows:
Dunn, Crossley, and two other strangers were shown to have been in Albany together on the afternoon of February 7, the robbery being committed that night. The two former were also in Albay for two days several days before the robbery. F. M. Pomeroy stated that February 3, and again on the 4th, Dunn and Crossley, accompanied by another man, were in his saloon near the Southern Pacific depot in this city. Crossley was in the saloon again the following Monday and Tuesday (the robbery occurred Tuesday night), and Dunn was there several times, playing cards. He was positive as to the identity of both men.
W.H. Mihollen, of Portland, saw Dunn and Kingsley on the streets in Albany on the afternoon of February 7th. He was acquainted with both men in Portland and positively identified Dunn. Other witnesses saw one or both of the prisoners in this city at that time and several were positive of their identification of Dunn.
Employees of the Lebanon train testified that they saw four men, walking along the track about two miles from Albany going toward Lebanon on the afternoon of February 7th. The men were well dressed and strolling along leisurely without any apparent purpose in view, two of them about 30 yards ahead of the other two. The trainmen gave an exact description of Kingsley, they having noticed him more particularly than the others because of his striking appearance. Dunn and Crossley answered the general description of two of the men, but they could not positively identify the two prisoners. The testimony showed that two railroad tricycles were stolen that night from section gangs between Albany and Lebanon. Mrs. G. W. Cheshire, living near the Lebanon Bank, heard men passing her house several times during the night of February 7. She looked out the window and saw four men carrying sacks on their shoulders and supposed some crime was being committed, but was at home alone and could not give an alarm.
Mrs. M.J. Prosser, of Lebanon, heard men pasing[sic] passing her house several times at a late hour the same night.
About 3:30 o'clock on the morning of February 8, N. E. Manley of Tallman saw a railroad velocipede pass that station rapidly. J.E. Skleey heard a velocipede pass his house at Goldra station some time early that morning. Testimony was introduced showing that two railroad velocipedes were found in the Santiam Canal newar where the Southern Pacific track crosses it on the outskirts of Albany on the forenoon of February 8.
Jacob Weiss testified that he found a revolver on the Lebanon railroad early on the morning following the robbery, and evidence was introduced showing that it exactly fitted in every respect an empty pistol holster found on Crossley when he was arrested. Mrs. Minnie Schultz, of Portland, received from Reynolds, now known as Crossley, a mutilated gold coin, which resembled in appearance money picked up in the bank after the robbery, and which had been battered by the force of the explosion.
James Johnston, a resident of Benton County, living on the road from Albany to Wells Station, saw four men pass his house walking along the road, about 8 o'clock on the morning of February 8. One carried a grip, and he was almost positive that Crossley was one of them.
Different witnesses testified to seeing Dunn and a man answering the description of Darling at Wells Station the afternoon of February 8. Dunn, who was positively identified by different witnesses, carried a grip. The two men ate dinner at the home of Mrs. Ella Williamson, who identified Dunn and described his companion exactly like the published descriptions of Darling. Both men bought tickets at Wells for Portland, taking the afternoon train.
Other witnesses saw men answering descriptions of Crossley and Kingsley on the road from Wells to Suver. Crossley went into a store at Suver, bout some soda water and stayed some time, saying he was from Albany. Two witnesses identified him. Kingsley remained at Suver an took the train for Portland there while Crossley went on to Parker and boarded the same train at that station. He ate dinner that day at the home of Mrs. Julia A. Boone, at Parker, who identified him.
Sheriff Tom Word and Deputies Harvey L. Moreland and J.S. Downey, of Multnomah County, testified regarding the arrest and searching of the prisoners, and gave different facts connecting them with the crime. The introduction of the state's evidence was concluded when court adjourned last evening.
The defense began their presentation of their testimony this morning. Dunn himself was the first witness. He said he and Crossley were in Albany the 3d and 4th of February. Crossley was looking for a good location for a saloon, and he was to work for Crossley. He returned to Portland on the afternoon train, February 4, he said and had not been in Albany since then until he was arrested. He had never been in Lebanon, and did not know men answering to the names or descriptions of Kingsley or Darling.
A.G. Hendryx, father of Mrs. Dunn, was the second witness. He swore Dunn was in Portland the night of the robbery, and was at home all evening.
Elijah Hawkins, an ex-Army Captain, and his son, Fred Hawkins, a cement contractor both of Portland, testified to seeing Dunn in Portland the day the robbery was committed. D. M. Sterling, a marine engineer, now employed as a carpenter at the Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds, also saw Dunn in Portland February 8.
Charles Dell, an employee in Blazier's saloon, in Portland, testified that Dunn had played pool with him in Blazier's all afternoon of February 8, during the same time that the prosecution alleged he was at Wells Station and on the train on his way from there to Portland.
Mrs. Eli Dunn was the next witness. She swore Dunn was in Portland the night of the robbery, but under a rigid cross-examination, she finally was forced to admit that she did not spend the night of February 7 at home, thus showing a discrepancy between her statements and the testimony of her father, Hendryx, who swore both Mr. and Mrs. Dunn were at home that night, taking care of him when he was ill.
J.A. Crossley took the stand and corroborated Dunn's testimony regarding their business in Albany February 3 and 4. He was in Albany again February 7, and was here the night of the robbery, but was not with Dunn that night nor with Kingsley and Darling, whom he did not know. He walked from Albany to Suver the next forenoon alone, and admitted the statements of the prosecution that he was in a store at Suver and ate dinner at Parker Station that day. He said he took the train at Parker, intending to stop at independence, looking for his saloon location, but changed his mind after getting on the train, and went on to Portland. He denied all connection with the robbery.
The examination of witnesses for the defense was continued this afternoon. Great interest was taken in the trial, and the courtroom was so crowded today that people had to be refused admittance. Hon. O.F. Paxton , of Portland, was called to assist the attorneys and the state, and J.F. Watts of Portland, was added to the list of counsel for the defendants.
Lebanon Robbers' Known to Police
Oregon Journal, 5 July 1905, page 5
Portland Authorities say they have full information concerning the thieves.
Also asserted that same crew was responsible for the Newberg Crime.
Not only do the police now profess to have full information as to the identity of all the men responsible for the Lebanon bank robbery, but they assert that the same persons committed the Newberg bank robbery, obtaining $5,000, and attempted to loot the bank at Sheridan.
J.F. Kingsley, one of the robbers who escaped is said to be James Johnson, alias "Toronto Jimmy" a noted bank cracksman, who broke jail at Rochester Minnesota, May 30, 1903, and for whose capture a reward of $250 was offered.
Darling, the other criminal who escaped, is said to be William, alias "Doc" Davenport, a noted cracksman and bank burglar. He, too, broke jail at Memphis Tennessee with two companions in crime, May 29, 1903. The tools with which they broke jail were furnished to them by George Stratton, a mailbox robber who was afterward sentenced from Denver, Colorado, to serve 21 years in the Canyon City penitentiary for robbing the United States mails. Stratton escaped with two companions, both of whom were captured and lynched. Stratton is still at large.
Crossley, one of the convicted Lebanon bank robbers, is a St. Louis pickpocket. Eli Dunn is said to have been a "capper" for two years for a poker game at the Maze café. Dunn's wife is a sister of Dora Williams, a noted female thief, who was recently in Portland with Robert Robertson, a criminal of many aliases, best known as "the Gorilla" both being forced to leave town between two suns by Sheriff Word.
The Police are positive that their assertion that neither of the Lebanon bank robbers who escaped clutches of the authorities is at Seattle.
Pictures of Johnson and Davenport and accounts of their exploits as crooks are given in The Detective, a Chicago Publication devoted to the interests of police and sheriffs, under the date of July 1, 1903. A copy of this publication has been secured by the police.
Bank Robbers Good Prisoners
Oregon Journal, 14 April 1906, page 16
J.A. Crossley and Eli Dunn, members of the Kingsley gang of bank robbers and highwaymen, which was run out of the northwest by Sheriff Word, are on the "good prisoners" list. Crossley and Dunn were arrested in Portland a year ago by Sheriff Word and his deputies, but were sent to the penitentiary for five years each for having robbed the Lebanon bank. Crossley is oiler in the pump house and Dunn is foreman of the tin shop. Both declare they know nothing of the whereabouts of Kingsley.
Oregon Robbers Taken
Oregonian, 14 Decmber 1908
Hold up men who operated here are caught.
Two arrested in Cincinnati Believed to have turned tricks about Portland.
Local officers and detectives have been reminded of the big Lebanon bank robbery and the holdup of the O.R.&.N. train in Sullivan's Gulch by the recent arrest at Cincinnati of George Carroll and Matthew Willard and the recent release from the Oregon Penitentiary of Eli Dunn and J.A. Crossley.
It was these four men, according to the officers, who commited the sensational bank robbery at Lebanon and the still more senasational holdup of the O.R.& N. Train. And they are said to be the most expert and successful safecrackers in America.
Willard, said to be the leader of the gang, has among other aliases, that of "Toronto Jimmy" by which he is known to every detective in the United States. With Carroll he was picked up on the streets of Cincinnati, October 14, by four detectives who recognized them from their photographs.
It was while operating in the Pacific Northwest that "Toronto Jimmy" broke into the most exclusive society of Portland. None of the gang's safeblowing jobs were pulled off in Portland, but in the neighboring towns, including Lebanon, Hood River, Troutdale and other places. Large sums of plunder were secured, and the robbers made their home in Portland. During that period, according to O.R. & N. detectives and others, "Toronto Jimmy" under another name played golf and cricket with some of the most prominent men of Portland.
Soon after the train holdup the officers succeeded in gaining a good clew which pointed to the four men as responsible for the numerous crimes. Willard and Carroll learned of what the officers had found out, and with the aid of a woman escaped from the city in an automobile, driving to Linnton, where they boarded the train and escaped.
Dunn and Crossley were captured, tried and sentenced to the Penitentiary. They were released last month, having served the period of time to which they were sentenced.
Hoodoo Worries Convict
Oregonian, 11 October 1911, pg 1
With $23 in pocket paroled Prisoner would stay in "Pen" on 13th.
Salem Or. Oct 13 (special) Because he had $23 in his pocket and because Friday is the 13th day of the month, J.A. Crossley, paroled convict, balked at leaving the State Penitentiary today. He considered the illomened "23" bad enough, but with the added complications of Friday and the 13th day he was insistent that he be allowed to remain over a day.
Parole Officer Bauer, however, persuaded him to leave. He is going to Louisiana, where he has been paroled to an uncle. Crossley was sent to the prison from Eastern Oregon for larceny from a dwelling.
In other News…
Capital Journal, 19 October 1911
J.A. Crossley was paroled from the pen Friday, but asked to be permitted to stay in one day longer. He had just $23 in pocket, and it was Friday, the 13th of the month, with a comet in sight. He thought the combination too heavy for him to tackle.

Crossley in Alexandria, LA living at same address as a Jessie Crossley and a Lee and Pinkie Crossley. Also a possibility. However, without more concrete details or a way to pin down J.A.'s actual birth name, nor assurances that J.A. Crossley is not one of his many aliases, the search seems a little hopeless.

I arrived in Sac in Sept. 87 and I would listen to the radio and Mark and Tina was the first 2 people I identified as people I did like. Tina might not remember this but I first seen her at the gate of Mc Clellan giving away donuts because she lost a contest on the radio. I wish we could have became good friends coz you were nice even though I made you miss your Q to speak. Mark didn't know what happened to you and when I apologized you just said it was alright and took it in stride. I am glad to see you have recovered and I hope to meet you and talk to you. I have seen you and said hi but that is all because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable by approaching you to talk to you. Happy Holidays from a distant friend Paul (Write back Tina)
Yep, I jumped in line here…. Teen's Tunes with Bobby Flay. I have never felt so much like a back-asswards low-life hick until I saw his reactions to this uncomfortable part of the show. It has been "played-out" so-to-speak. Lay "Teen's Tunes" to rest. If that's not enough of a reason then LOOK at the body-language of the cast, AND yourself. By the way…. you seem to be doing us a favor being on the air lately. Being a past loyal viewer I know your history, and strength. I admire you for that. But, the show must go on….. GERONIMOOOOOOoooooooooooo0000000000000!!!!
Please, please, pleeeeaaaasssssse…..get rid of Teen's Tunes! Love ya but it sucks! The age difference of cast members makes it an impossible competition. That's all I have to say about that.
Hi Tina, Just wanted to thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to help us at Mather Community Campus on Thanksgiving day. I watch GDS every mornig, it IS the best morning news show in the are. Again, Thank you
Tina, let me take you down memory lane just abit. Can you remember shark fishing about 2 year ago on the coast by Stinson beach or there by? Well any way my wife Lea and I were there along with the "shark man" Shane. I remember we had a good time despite the lack of any fish on a hook. The reason for my message is that I was wondering if you had a cancer foundation that you support or one that supported you through your life change. I would like to make a small donation to a local foundation that has made an impact on an individual. Someone that has made a difference in "my life" possibly through an acquaintance, friend or a memory. If your interested or would like to provide information please send a response to my e-mail and I can give you a phone# that I can be contacted at.
Vince Gonzales
my qustion to you is what is your favorite holiday season of the year.
Tina… I have NOTHING else to say other then YOU are the 'ISH!!!! :o) <3
Much Love!!
Tina I want to say THANK YOU for taking time out of your Thanksgiving Day to go to Mather Community Campus !! I am a student there and it really meant alot to me. That night we had a candle light vigil and one of the things I said I am gratiful for is people like you that believes in and supports Mather Community Campus and the students living there.It really does mean alot to us, .I will time out Feb 1st, but I will stay very committed and involved in Mather !!!! I have gained so much more than just employment training in the 2 yrs here it is amazing !! Thank you again Tina you are an awesome person.
I just want to say goodbye…hopefully not for very long though. Each morning as I get ready for work you are there, keeping me company! But now…there is Mark Mathis grating on my nerves. Is there a higher power that can make him go away? Still love the rest of you~let me know when it's safe to watch GoodDay again!
SO agree
He reminds me of that character Lloyd Lindsey Young – CANT STAND HIM – this new guy needs to tone down a bit to fit in, if you ask me.
Tina I remember you from KSFM 102.5 and have always loved your wonderful personality.I have always thought you were a beautiful lady but you are even more so today.Your down to earth and more identifiable than any other celeb. Just want to take the time to say thank you for being you and all your contributions to the Sacramento area.Keep up the good work.
I love watching you and can relate to you in so many ways. You have recovered wonderfully and are a role model for me. I have always loved watching GDS until Mathis joined on. I have a couple health issues, and GDS was always a "great escape" for me with the humor and the "family-like" atmosphere. It seems, through, body language, that you may not be feeling comfortable with him, as well; I'm sure you've been reading the other posts. I have been trying to keep an open mind about Mathis thinking that he's like a long-lost relative that has to be accepted as part of the family…but family can only stay so long. I'm so sorry to say, but I cannot watch GDS and will miss you and all the others I've grown to love. Respectfully.
PS: you guys came to my house to see my Bulldog collection 🙁
TOROBUITRE808 on March 29, 2011 And are you suggesting that ppolee just pay somebody whatever they ask just because they called and demanded payment? You can make an argument that not paying a debt is a dishonorable thing and in many cases I would agree that you are right. However, wouldn't you also consider it dishonorable for some company to buy a bunch of debt for $.02 on the dollar and then start calling ppolee demanding payment when they have no real proof these ppolee actually owe anything?
WE LOVE YOU TINA!!!! You are brave, caring, a smart cookie and so inspirational. Keep up the great smiles and the daily words of wisdom!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!
Dearest Tina.
I know you are always looking out for new things in the filipino community. I am married to the most beautiful of all filipinas my wife "The First Lady". I wrote this song to help her recover from a recent surgery. We have a new member of the filipino family "Tinkerbell the pacemaker. She keeps my young wife in rhythm. Please feel free to use it as you wish in the new "Pinoy Christmas Choir at Good day Sacramento.
We are so proud of you!

Opps! I forgot to tell you it's this Saturday. December 11th.
Tina,how can you be so hateful to the new-MARK -? why didn"t you say good morning to him like you do the others.Whats up with you guys,Cody seems like the only nice one.I told my husband,you wait and see mark will be gone before long.you guys,your better than this!I have enjoy you since the start.you were the first to laugh & ect,ect.But now you guys have your ass up in the air over the new guy. remember when you did your first job.Tina,when you were sick,we were all praying for you so why don"t you be a better person to others.And this goes for the rest of you-mariann,nick,ect.ect.-get off of him and stand up for your co-worker.i'm so up-set over this i care less if i put all the ,./., were their to be. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I'm with MARILOU. Whether you like new Mark or not, you (and the other GDS on-air staff) need to act like the professional I know you can be.
I have to agree with Marilou and Linda on this. I've watched the show for years and have always found both Marianne and Tina to be rude and condescending.
My granddaughter was at an event at the SPCA several years ago and ran into Tina. She was excited to see her in person and said to her "Hi Tina. I watch you on Good Day Sacramento with my grandparents". Tina snarled her nose and gave a condescending "Uh yah" reply to my granddaughter. She tried to have a conversation with Tina, but Tina rolled her eyes and walked away.
My granddaughter told us about it the moment she got home. Her feelings were terribly hurt. She was only 11 years old at the time. I told her not to take it personally and explained that unfortunately, there are people like that in this world and rather than be angry towards Tina, she should feel sorry for her because she must not be a very happy person. I was furious that an adult could behave this way towards a child. We've met "real" celebrities and have never been treated that way by any of them.
Since that happened, I cannot bring myself to like Tina. She is phony. However, when she was going through breast cancer, I still prayed for her and wished her the best. My mother is a survivor and no matter how I feel about anyone, I could never wish them ill and still want good things for them. On the flip side of that, I wish that Tina and Marianne would leave GDS. They do not fit in well with the rest of the cast with their sarcasm and rudeness.
Im NOT WITH MARILOU, THAT MARK HAS TO GOOOOOO!!!
Marianne IS sincere. So is Nick. They look embarrassed about their co-workers and try to help resolve "issues". They are the only reason to watch this show! REALLY!
"Tina,how can you be so hateful to the new-MARK -? why didn"t you say good morning to him like you do the others.Whats up with you guys…" I'm starting to think that Tina might be a little racist…(duh!) as well. Sorry, I know what you went through (first-hand), but that doesn't give you the right. Sympathy has gone to your head. your body-language is very negative. Your job is to entertain and inform with a smile on your face. Don't see races, see people.
Tina,how can you be so (hateful) to the new -MARK-?This morning he said -GOOD MORNING-to you and you act like a bitch to him.Why can't his co-workers stand up for him,the only person i see that is nice to him is -CODY-.When you guys first started i would stand up for ya'll when others would say they want be on the air long..This isn't just to you ms .tina,!nick,marianna,and some of the other ladies who are also -NEW-.Tina,when you were ill we all were praying for you,why don't you show alittle kindness to -MARK-.Do ya'll think we can't see?Ya'll act like a family,i guess -MARK- is the black sheep!Get over your selfs and show your still in my eyes # one. GOD BLESS !
It's very simple–Mathis is a JERK 100%—He is ok, but not here!!Wake up!! ALL MY LOVE!
I am sure plenty of people think and have thought you were and are a jerk too. You are no angel.
Show mercy get mercy, show judgement get judgement.

Thank you for making time to meet with us and for sharing your spotlight.
Sacramento Jr. Cougars
Folks,pls.stop kissing tina's — ! she rolls her eyes when some one trys to talk to her,she is rude.
Marilou : get off your high and mighty soap box ,grab your remote and change the channel. you seem to have issues with tina …why ? the new mark is trying to hard to fit in and needs to tone it down ,with his annoying voice and yes when he starts talking i do change the channel and return to hopefully avoid hearing him. and dont end your post with GOD BLESS when the begining of your posts are filled with anger and hate, get a life and move on .
When are you coming back to work…..I miss you
Tina, Where are you? I haven't seen you for a couple of week or more. Did you leave the show, or just on vacation. Hope your health is good.
i want to congratulate on all you have overcome. your daily quips keep me optomistic when life seems to hard to handle. between my 18 year old daughter, her fifteen month old, her high school and my full time job at wal mart at watt and el camino in the claims department, its overwhelming but just to think of what you have overcome, i know i can make it through a day. too bad i dont have friends like "honey" to keep me laughing.

Greetings Tina…your #1 Fan, also wondering where you are and praying that all is well. I've asked some of your co-workers (TV-13 side) about your where-a-bouts and they thought you were on vacation. However it sounded as if they are NOT sure. Although Courney is doing a great job, we MISS YOU as the superalative, spendid, spectacular traffic anchor that has ever graced Television. 🙂 Hope to see you back soon. God bless, Shepp.
My husband said while he was watching Good Day this morning the quote of the day was "Take the one you love to dinner".He told me he thought it would be funny if someone would call in and say"I was going to take the one I loved to dinner but she is with her husband. His name is Robert.
Tryen to log on the baby talk site but cant could you please help?
You look Super Cute in that Blue Wig…Chewing gum…Batting your eyes! Dont Judge Me!!
Hola Tina – thank goodness you're back! Missed you! Now that the a.m. tv world is calm again, life can continue! Yaaaayyyy Tina!!
Tina, I have always enjoyed you in the mornings. I can only imagine how appaled you must now be to have your portrait under Don Geronimo's. Lets hope his stay is short
Hi, Tina. It's good to seeyou back. Hope everything is good with you. I missed you. Stay well.
I recently had an augmentation but prior to having it done I had purchased 3 new bras. I know that there is an organization or two that accepts slightly used/new bras. I have a few friends who also have a few and my Surgeon said he would let future patients know. I am sure you may be able to steer me in the right direction. Thank you.
You wonder Tina's attituce toward that new Mark??? This court jester thinks he is funny with his stupid laugh, abnoxious behavior, trying to fit in, like a square peg in a round hole. Tina has a class, lots of class, is sincere, and gentle, however, she won't tolerate individuals like this Mark Mathis, neither do we – let's all get a petition to have him out of the show!
Polo! WAH! Happy now! What 'bout the 11-year old girl she dissed. I kind of figured her to be that kind of person….
Hi Tina. I met you at Tahoe City Snowfest! (I think it was you…). My kids were filmed as a possible part of your piece. I'm not from Sacramento and didn't get to watch the show this morning. Any chance the piece is posted somewhere online?
We love you Tina!! keep up the good work!!! Me and my 13 year old daughter love you!!!
Tina were are the girl???you all seem like you have a lot fun.but miss the ones that are Gone.but alway be Watch you all.
Hi, Tina! I just wanted to say thank you and good-bye to my favorite GDS people! I have watched for 13+ years and have appreciated having GDS as a welcome break from the seriousness of the world and becoming a stay-at-home new mom all those 13 + years ago.! I wish you the best and happy, healthy life. I will definitely miss you and your positive message you make sure to display! I truly wish I could remain a loyal viewer, but as hard as I tried, I just cannot take another day with Mark Mathis. Stay happy and positive!!
hey, tina you are my favorite good day sacramento star.
Hey Tina first of all I think your a very pretty woman, and second don't ever give up your flip flaps, I'm 68 years old and
have a shoe rack full of them and enjoy wearing them all the time. You take care lots of love to you and your family
Tina, did you have a different last name when you were at Mira Loma High school. I was at Mira Loma High class of 1978.
Where is Mark Mathis?
I miss your thought of the day. But until Don is gone, I won't be watching Good Day in the morning.
Dearest Susan, Your wish has been granted. Tina blinks her eyes and POOF! He's gone. She seems sour-faced lately. Wonder what or who it is now? Could it be Don? The shows cast seems unraveled lately. So sad. Bye.
Please, Mathis was horrible and needed to go. She had to follow his stupid un-funny lead ins. She is probably siad b/c I think they let Nick Toma go, his bio isnt on the webiste and he ahs been gone awhile with. Once last week they said he was "sick". I hope they didnt let him go, he is very good.
Don doesnt bother me,b ut Mathis did. Good Riddance.
Dearest Tina,
Practice what you placard!

Hi Tina! since you like unique quotes. Here's one someone recently shared.
It's better to be seen than viewed!!
On the damn phone while you are on the air! How unprofessional you are. I'm embarrassed for you…. 🙁
I read that he had an argument with marianne during a commercial break. After the commercial he was gone… Then they said "vacation", then they said he called in sick for 2 days. I know from a reliable "inside source". Nick is gone and so is the shows heart & soul.

As a woman who has faced cancer and a voice who can share the message about early detection and treatment, we would love you to consider riding on the PINK FireTruck in the Vacaville Fiesta Days Parade. It's the largest community parade in California and we are honored to host the Guardian's of the Ribbon this year. The Parade is Saturday, May 28th.
Take a look at the NorthBay.org website or google Pink Heals Tour to see what we are trying to share. Besides, who can resist a fireman in pink?
My Filipino friends used to make fun of me because I didn't have the satellite channel TFC (The Filipino Chanel). I told them that I did and would show them GDS with you and Stefanie. I felt really proud that one time you both brought in pancit, lumpia and other food. Now that Stefanie has moved on, its not the same, but I still like watching GDS.
hello tina

My wife and I used to hear you on the radio, we think it was the Joey Mitchel show in the mornings. Are we correct? Anyway, we enjoy you on the tube. Congrats on the "Graduate". It seems like just yesterday she was learning how to walk. Where has the time gone? Stay safe and continue healing.
Joey Mitchell? How old is Tina Macua (Filipina Kababayan)?
Hey Tina, it is such a pleasure to have a Filipina Kababayan like you on TV. I came to Sac from the Bay Area 9 yrs ago. Started watching GoodDay Sacramento and haven't stopped. I LUV Teen's Tunes because I grew up listening to Old Skool music. Girl, you are the BOMB!! Thank you and may God continue to bless you with good health! XOXO, Carol

stop being so catty to your cast members you act like they all owe you something, and also act like you have some type of "dirt" on them. those quotes of the day at times with your behaviour i wonder if those really came from you or a book or some other source, at times you can be too transparent with your attitude that you unknowingly let on to some office politics with cast members get off your pedestal and be a pleasant member of the crew. those qoutes? let them really come out of your heart, dress up a little more, at times you look like a middle aged woman that finally gave up on her looks you are not on radio and can be seen when the camera is on you, unlike a dj mic and not seen at all by the public, in other words stop being lazy on screen dress like a woman that still cares about how she looks,flip flops?to work?cmon tina you are on television not radio LOOK and BE PROFFESIONAL. all of the time on air not when you feel like it your appearance should look like your bio photo not like woman that just got out of bed at the radio studio instead of the tv studio
It was nice seeing you at the Mandarin Festival this past weekend in Auburn.
tina you seem so cool and calm, and really down to earth :0) ive enjoyed watching all of you guys, hope to be able to see you guys again, can you please send me your resiepe opps cant spell for your famous lumpia it looked so good when you made it on the show, o and the sauce to PLEASE and THANK YOU ..
You did a story on Mexican res. in orngevale back a few months ago. I was wondering if you can give me the name of it as well as the address. I have gone and tried to look for it. No luck.
HORRIFIC UPDATE on Samantha as of today, Wednesday, December 07, 2011 about 10:30AM:
I am working with a wonderful director from a rescue that works with low income people and homeless with their pets in Sacramento. She is awesome. She was able to convince the owners to let her take Samantha to the vet today, Wednesday. Samantha is in really bad shape. Her demodex is chronic, her complete chest is raw, she has bumps all over her body and she can't stop itching. She has chronic diarrhea, she is weak, she does not have vaccines and she does not get any attention. She still needs other tests. The original Sacramento County Animal report said it was not so bad and the dog is ok and has what she needs, but maybe it was because it was late in the evening and not enough light. This girl needs continued medical attention and the owners cannot give it!! Now to describe the horrid conditions she is living in! We hope the owners surrender her to the rescue. When the rescue went to pick her up to take her to the vet she was surrounded by her own diarrhea feces and lying in it, she is on a very short leash, she is tied all the time, she is in a corner in the back yard and is outside in this cold weather, she had no food or water, she was weak to get up and she cowered and whimpered when the male owner approached her (it was so sad), but so happy and loving to the two women from the rescue. She is very sweet and loving even though she is in these horrible conditions. We need to find a foster home for her where she is loved and cared for. The rescue is willing to take care of the medical. She needs your thought and prayers. She needs a Christmas miracle. This breaks my heart!!
thank you for helping me first join the 5am club! now you have shown my photo on ty!!! it means a lot to me as this staff means .
Hi Tina, I just wanted you to know that I start each day with your beauty. I've been watching for several years and have decided that you're the most beautiful woman on the planet. Your smile and your sort of shyness just melts my heart. Your thought for today made me decide to say something to you, I just want you to know how beautiful you are to some of us. Peace, Love & Happiness…
Tina: You continue to berate Mitt Romney like he was a shallow flea bitten dog. Why don't you read up on him a little more. You have no idea what Mitt Romney can do for this country. We were watching your dumb little program the other day when you said "Mitt Romney isn't fit to be President." How dare you. Don't be too confident that you will have a job under another four years with this Obama character running the show. I think you are a race baiter and when you put down good people like Mitt Romney just because he's a Mormon your short temper shows through. This show is not meant to be used as your personal soap box. Obviously you can't find any other job and stop smirking at the camera. You look like a man in drag anyhow. You should stop bashing Mitt Romney and get on board with the GOP if you really love America. Shame on you.
been with you and Mark since ksfm 102.5 . livin in Boise now and miss goodday sac. happy new year. turbotony
Lisa Elliott: MY CHEMO JOURNEY
Chemo is unique in its own way for everyone.For me,no matter who or how many people were with me I still felt alone,fighting my own powerfull war.Your taken away from yourself,the real world and everything around you.My body was their but my mind and soul were lost,scared and in the darkness thinking,I want to go home,I want my life back…. Each day wondering what type of pain will keep me in this dark room today.Shut off from the world waiting for the next round so I can feel even sicker and farther away from realization… As I look in the mirror,seeing with each round of chemo my body age from trying to absorb the poison,feeling helpless and hopeless popping pills and sleeping hoping to wake up and this was a nightmare… Their is no M-F or weekends,just a every 3rd wed.8 times.Waiting for July 16th.Knowing I will be done putting my mind and body through living HELL… Now I sit on a post watching the world pass right by me.Thinking ,this isnt it,Will I be haunted again will I live to see my daughter marry and have children.I dont want to share my life with cancer anymore.I dont want to be sick and alone again… I bless the real friends who came to see me almost die to stay alive.Feeling my pain,seeing my life being sucked out of me,wondering if I will make it,if I can handle it,if the chemo is working… Since Feb.20th I havnt felt peace,I dont think I ever will again.Riding horses,fishing… I have become close to the people at chemo treatments.We all have something in common,running our lives but yet we cant see it,touch it or smell it but we sure can feel it,so powerfull so solid,we must let it to stay alive… when first diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer invasive Ductale carsinoma,I wanted to know more about chemo,I read something about pain thinking,what kind of pain can my treatments give me..NOW I KNOW… I am a very unique person for I have defeated my Chemo Journey.

Tips on How to Eliminate Stress
A lot of us take this for granted but stress is a silent killer. Aside from the fact that stress affects our self-esteem and way of thinking, it can even cause serious health problems. Learning how to effectively deal with stress is a must if you want to live your life to the fullest. In this article, we will be discussing some tips that you may use as your guide when dealing with stress.
1. Do not deprive yourself of quality sleep.
One of the main causes of stress is when you are deprived of quality sleep. Sleep deprivation and stress are very dangerous problems because they compliment each other. When trying to solve this problem, stay away from over-the-counter drugs and try your best to relax your mind and body naturally before you sleep. Drinking coffee and alcoholic beverages is never a good idea. Stay away from your mobile phone, laptop, or any electronic gadgets at least 1 hour before you go to bed and give your brain time to slow down and relax. Taking a warm shower and reading books is highly recommendable.
2. Communicate with others.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to handle stress is to release pent up tension. To do this, it is advisable that you find someone to talk to and you put your problems in perspective. Choose from one of your closest friends, relatives, or even trained professionals. Sharing your problems and being able to release the tension you feel will benefit you a lot.
If you need any professional help, do your homework on the internet and take the time to look for a reputable online counselor. Since we are now in the digital age and a lot of us now have computers and mobile phones, looking for an online counselor is not really a problem. Online counselors now advertise the services they offer via their websites. Once you visit the website of your potential online counselor, it will be very easy for you to learn more about him. This is where you can read more about his educational background, area of specializations, and services. You may also refer to the website of your online counselor when in search of his contact details and office address.
3. Do not let your problems take over your life.
Take control over your problems and never allow them to destroy the quality of your life. One strategy that I highly recommend you to do would be to list down your problems together with possible solutions on a piece of paper. Once you do this, study each item carefully and review the pros and cons. When you do this, you will become more optimistic and you will feel that you are in control.

I Choose Live
When: Saturday 25 June, 12:00–17:00
Where: The Bond Company, 180-182 Fazeley Street, Digbeth, B5 5SE
Tickets: from £14 (available online here)
I Choose Magazine presents the inaugural Local Drinks Market, which will be taking place in Digbeth. Natch.
Following the tried-and-tested formula of canalside plus booze, this market's selling point is that all the drinks on offer will come from a 50-mile radius of the city. This is quite a new proposal which will see house-hold names available, along with new brands being introduced to the discerning-drinkers of Birmingham!
On arrival, you'll be given a hand stamp, tasting glass, and guide to everything happening during the day, including masterclasses and entertainment. You are then free to go and explore, taste samples, and chat directly with the producers.
Final details are still being ironed-out, but with other festivals at The Bond (the whisky, gin, and beer offerings come to mind), chances are this one too will be a sell-out, so we'd recommend getting your tickets in early!
For more information, visit the Facebook event page or Eventbrite posting.
