Although I continue to read the Insp. Rutledge books and enjoy them, this one (as some others) seems to be too complicated for its own good. And a few too many coincidences, as well. The characters are well-drawn and the story evokes the time and place, but the plotting isn't the strong suit in this entry.
I really enjoyed this one, having read many of the others first. I enjoyed the slightly different atmosphere invoked--but I did get lost at times, and do not know what happened to Lewis French. Did I miss the page or pages that explained his continued absence? My library doesn't have an audio book of this title, and I would much rather listen to the book than reread it.
I have read about half of the numerous Charles Todd books and have enjoyed them very much -- except this one. As many reviewers have mentioned, the beginning went nowhere, the ending was weird and unsatisfying, and the middle used a lot of gasoline! It feels like the authors forgot what they were doing! Not their best work at all!
Concludes without answering all questions about characters and their motivations. Not a good representative of the usually high caliber of mystery from the Charles Todd team.
A man is seemingly run down on a street in Chelsea and a watch on the victim leads Inspector Rutledge to a family that produces and ships Madeira and who seem to suddenly have people gone missing.
While a good procedural, I missed the more personal aspects of some of the earlier books in the series. This one had lots of characters?in more ways than one?but I lost interest in keeping them all straight and I was left a little disappointed.
Big disappointment. Too many names, car rides, superhero fights. Too little depth of characterization and motivation.
Have read everything by Charles Todd - one of my favourite mystery writers. I love Rutledge and the time period - post WWI
I agree with the other comments, this was the worst of the Rutledge series. There was no real basis for the arrest of the so called murderers, there were no bodies !! I had to skim the last third of the book, it was too dumb to waste time reading it.
OK but it didnt have a beginning or an end,it was all comfortable and familiar middle.
I love the Rutledge books by Mr. Todd, but this one was a little slow at times. It seemed that Mr. Rutledge kept going around in circles. Not my favorite of the series.

Tom Eblen: Lexington one of six 'university cities'; can it take advantage of it?
Lexington has been a college town for more than 200 years. But when Scott Shapiro, a top aide to Mayor Jim Gray, was benchmarking local data against other cities recently, he discovered something interesting: Lexington was one of six U.S. cities whose numbers place them in a unique category.
This group, which he calls "university cities," have distinct characteristics that make them different from smaller college towns or major cities with big research universities. And those characteristics translate into big economic development opportunities in the 21st century's knowledge-based economy.
"This is one of those ah-ha moments," Gray said of the analysis.
So, how can Lexington capitalize on this insight? We'll get to that in a moment.
First, let's see what Shapiro discovered about university cities, which he defined as metropolitan areas of between 250,000 and 1 million people with students making up at least 10 percent of the population.
Each city has a diversified economy closely tied to a major urban research university. In addition to Lexington, the cities are Madison, Wis.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Fort Collins, Colo.; Durham-Chapel Hill, N.C.; and Lincoln, Neb.
Each city has an abundance of attributes that naturally come with universities, including educated people, talent, openness to new ideas, innovation, entrepreneurialism and a lot of arts and culture.
These cities seem to have more of these attributes than college towns, in short, because they are big enough that many students can stay after graduation rather than moving on to find economic opportunity.
But unlike major cities with universities, these six university cities have a lower cost of living, less crime and, in many ways, a higher quality of life.
Shapiro's analysis found, for example, that 42 percent of adults age 25 and older in university cities have at least a bachelor's degree, compared to 29 percent nationwide.
High education levels seemed to have a big influence on productivity and wages. When adjusted for the cost of living, Shapiro found that the median annual salary in university cities is only about $700 below that of the nation's 15 largest cities.
Unemployment rates from 2009 to 2013 averaged 6.3 percent in university cities, compared with 8.7 percent in other similar-sized cities and 8.8 percent in the nation's largest 15 cities.
Business starts averaged 16.3 percent higher in university cities than in similar-sized cities, and only slightly below the rate for the nation's largest cities. The number of non-profit organizations, which often drive social entrepreneurship and improve quality of life, was almost double that of similar-sized cities.
University cities are much safer. Violent crime averaged 36 percent lower in the six university cities than in similar-size cities and 40 percent lower than in the nation's 15 largest cities.
And university cities are more fun. They have 47.2 percent more arts, recreation and entertainment places per thousand residents than the average of similar-size cities. And while they average fewer cultural assets than the 15 largest cities, they have more of them per thousand residents — 25.7 percent more.
One key attribute of a university city is being the "right" size to balance economic opportunity, cost of living and quality of life. And therein lies a danger. While Austin is what many university cities aspire to become, the Texas capital has lost some luster as housing costs and traffic headaches have risen.
Shapiro has started a blog (Universitycities.org) to share news and ideas about university cities, and he is talking with the University of Kentucky about hosting a national symposium on the topic next year.
This subject isn't just of interest to academics; it has a lot of practical application.
Lexington's mayor sees the university city model as an important lens through which to view many things, from business recruiting efforts and workforce-development strategies to land-use planning and infrastructure investment.
"I think it helps us in the sorting and filtering process," Gray said. "When you know who you are, you have a better chance of getting where you want to go."
For one thing, he said, it shows that Lexington's economic development strategy should be mainly built around leveraging assets that grow out of the presence of UK, Transylvania University and other education centers.
It also underscores the importance of making sure affordable housing is available and traffic doesn't get out of control. It means Lexington should nurture cultural institutions and other quality-of-life infrastructure that talented, educated people and the companies that want to hire them look for in a city.
The next step, Gray said, is to benchmark Lexington's data against the five other university cities to assess strengths and weaknesses.
"I think we're poised for exploiting the knowledge economy in a better way than the industrial cities have been," Gray said. "It's a question of how do you really take advantage of that."

One of the best tools we have added to our operation in the past few years has been the Agri-Speed Hitch. It enables us to automatically hook up wagons without getting out of the tractor. We also put one on the self-propelled chopper.
Now let's add another element of coolness to the equation. I tested an AgCam surveillance camera system last fall for Farm Industry News and found it to be AWESOME. I liked it so much I bought one this fall. It allows me to place one camera directly over the drawbar on the chopper so I can see exactly where my chopper is as I back up to wagons, regardless of whether I have a speed hitch on the wagon or not. It also allows me to place another camera on the cab roof to watch the gooseneck as I'm making my way around corners in the field when I chop silage for various farmers. It's like having several extra sets of eyes without all that hassle of constantly looking over your shoulder as you work.
One Friday afternoon I was in the machine shed at home when my phone rang. It was one of my customers who lives nearby. He had his chopper ready to go and wondered how soon I could get there to chop his end rows and make a pass through the middle of his field to get it opened up for his tractor and chopper to get through. I told him I'd be over as soon as we switched heads on the chopper and greased everything. That was fine with him, because he was going to eat dinner in the meantime and then would be ready to roll at full steam when I got there. If he wasn't back yet, I could simply hook onto his wagons (with speed hitches, I might add!) parked in the yard and start chopping in the field next to his house.
I headed down the road for what looked like a very easy job. I saw two wagons with speed hitches on them sitting on a large area of lawn. I put my chopper in reverse to hook onto one and decided not to use the Ag Cam. The wagons were out in the open and the tongues were facing straight ahead. That's the easiest hookup in the world — hardly worthy of AgCam technology.
I backed up to a point I thought was far enough and then drove ahead to the field. Oddly enough, there was no wagon behind me. I must've missed it somehow. I backed up again and felt the automatic hitch connect with the wagon, so I headed for the field.
I was no more than a few feet out of the yard when my phone rang again. Without looking at the screen, I answered. It was the neighbor next door, just a few yards away. He is, how shall I put this? He is informative.
"You have water dripping out of the back of your chopper," the neighbor said. "It started right as you took off after missing the wagon the first time."
Geez! I never saw him anywhere! He must have been sitting on his front porch or right at the front window to see all the details from that distance.
I thought maybe the water was coming from the wagon and not the chopper. I was nearly at the field by then, so I pulled into the pasture instead of the cornfield and climbed out to have a look. The caller was halfway correct. There was water dripping out of the chopper, but it wasn't entirely water. It was a 50:50 blend of water and antifreeze! I knew that wasn't good.
A quick look underneath the chopper revealed a deeply, deeply troubling scene. I didn't miss the wagon the first time. Missing it implies that I drove right by it. Nope. I made incredibly solid contact with it. In fact, I managed to put the long rod of the speed hitch right through the bottom of my radiator!
I quickly unhooked and headed for home, knowing this wasn't going to be a good conversation when Guy No. 1 and The Chairman Emeritus saw what I had done. Doing it was one thing. Doing it while not using the AgCam was entirely different. Simply hitting the button on the remote to switch from the spout cam to the drawbar cam would have saved me. But I didn't do that. It was a simple hookup. Why use a fancy camera for that? Yeah, well, why buy the camera at all if you're not going to use it?!
Sure enough, my superiors had a cow when I got home. (Guy No. 1 gets really hyper and really ornery in situations like this.) We immediately began tearing everything apart to remove the radiator and take it somewhere for major surgery.
It took forever to get the damaged radiator out. We ended up having to call the service guy from Deere in Decorah to come out and help us. It was now 5:20. That meant nothing would happen until Monday morning. I went into the house somewhat dejected, but a little bit relieved at the idea of having the weekend almost entirely free now that I couldn't chop silage.
The first thing I did was to start calling all of my customers to let them know I'd be out of commission for a few days. The first call went to a guy who needed three days' advance notice if it wasn't going to be a weekend chopping event. I told him I'd be laid up for a few days and he said he already knew what happened, even though it had only happened a couple hours ago.
The next caller was perfectly satisfied. His corn wasn't ready to chop anyway, so the delay didn't bother him. He also told me about an actual radiator repairman in Cresco. I knew this guy used to work on radiators, but I thought he had quit that when he got a job at the local air filter manufacturing plant. I went back home and made another call. Not only did the radiator guy still work on radiators, he would be done at the factory by noon on Saturday and would get to work on my project immediately!
I dropped off the radiator the next morning. Lo and behold, my phone rang at 2:49 that afternoon. "Jeff, this is Pat. Your radiator's done. I gotta go, so I'll just leave it outside the shop. You can pick it up whenever and I'll just send you the bill."
Thinking about the giant crater I had created in the radiator, I thought it was too good to be true that it could be ready in less than three hours and still be functional. A quick trip to town revealed my skepticism was unfounded. It didn't look factory-fresh, but it looked fully functional!
Guy No. 1 and the rest of the crew helped put the whole jigsaw puzzle back together when I got home. At about 8:20, I put the last of the tools back in the cabinets and called it a night. Humpty Dumpty, as we now referred to the chopper, was ready to start gobbling acres the next day, which it did for a couple days straight until I had finished my own corn and all my customers' fields.
Even though it was after dark on Saturday night, I kind of wanted to go back to the neighbor's place and hook up to the wagon just to prove to the guy on the other side that it was a minor problem and I was back in action. And the way news travels around here, all the rest of Winneshiek County would know it by morning.

The NBA All-Star game featured many big highlights on Sunday night.
In a game featuring high-flying dunks, deep 3-pointers, passes between opposing players legs and every thing in between, the Western Conference All-Stars picked up a 143-138 win over the Eastern Conference All-Stars in Houston.
However, there was one moment late in the game that still has everyone talking days later.
In the fourth quarter, two of the best players of this generation in Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and Miami Heat star LeBron James squared off in a one-on-one battle.
With the score close late in the game, LeBron tried to carry his team back, but Kobe wouldn't let him.
The Lakers star blocked two of LeBron's shots in the final minutes, thwarting any chances of a comeback by the East team.
Kobe's big defensive plays has helped fuel a long-running debate on which player is the biggest star in the league today.
It was pretty much the talk of All-Star weekend in Houston, especially after recently-turned 50-year-old basketball legend Michael Jordan said he would prefer Kobe over LeBron in a interview last week. Jordan said he would pick Kobe because of his five championship rings compared to LeBron's one.
Either way, both players are two of the best this league has ever seen. It is a topic worthy of discussion.
LeBron is fresh off his first championship season, and he is the most dominate player in the game today. He is having probably the best season of his career so far as he recently became the first player in NBA history to go six straight games with a 30-plus-point average while shooting at least 60 percent.
LeBron is playing so well right now that he is drawing comparisons to Jordan as the greatest player ever.
He has been pretty much unstoppable, that is until Kobe swatted away two of his shots at the All-Star game.
Everyone knows the All-Star games are meaningless, but for an aging player like 34-year-old Kobe, it was an opportunity to show he can still play with today's younger stars.
The way he locked up LeBron on defense proved he still deserves praise as one of the game's best. Kobe isn't as physical intimidating as LeBron, but he is a true student of the game with an undying competitive spirit.
I've always enjoyed watching both players, and it is really hard to pick one over the other.
If I had to choose, I would pick LeBron over Kobe, mostly because the Miami star is a physical specimen who could play any position on the court and look good while doing it.
That is no disrespect for Kobe. His accomplishments stand out, and he will always be a favorite of mine.
There will always be endless discussions on which player is the best, but unlike most fans, I don't like wasting time arguing or making comparisons.
I just think everyone should sit back and enjoy watching two incredible players play.
Both Kobe and LeBron are great players in their own ways. They each bring something special to the table.
I'm just happy to be here and see it all happen.

Pick one: Kobe or LeBron?

Loyola hosts 43rd annual Jazz Festival
March 2, 2012
The 43rd Annual Jazz Festival at Loyola University New Orleans presents world-renowned trombonist Ed Neumeister in a one-night-only concert with the Loyola Jazz Band on Saturday, March 10 at 4:30 p.m. in Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall. The two-day festival, presented by Loyola's Jazz Studies Program, also includes a performance by the Loyola Faculty Jazz Ensemble, masterclasses with Neumeister and other acclaimed jazz musicians and performances by high school jazz bands and combos from across the country.
As a trombonist, Neumeister performed for 19 years with the Mel Lewis Big Band and for 15 years in the Duke Ellington Orchestra under the direction of Mercer Ellington. As a composer, he has received commissions from all over the world, including the Hamburg Radio Big Band in Germany, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra in New York and the Sophisticated Ellington Project in Tokyo, among others. He has recorded seven albums as a leader, including modern big band, trombone quartet, chamber trio, jazz quartet and quintet, as well as concerto for cello and big band.
Saturday's concert includes the premiere of Neumeister's "A Magical Place," a new work commissioned for the festival by John Mahoney, Loyola's coordinator of jazz studies.
Tickets for Neumeister's performance are $10 for general admission and $5 for students, faculty and staff. For tickets and information, visit montage.loyno.edu or call 504-865-2074. Free parking is available in the West Road Garage, which is accessible from St. Charles Avenue.
In addition to Saturday's concert, the Loyola Faculty Jazz Ensemble presents a free concert on Friday, March 9 at 4:30 p.m. in Roussel Hall. Free masterclasses will also be held on Friday, March 9, and Saturday, March 10, at 12:30 p.m. in the Communications/Music Complex. The concert and masterclasses are open to the public.
At least two dozen high school jazz bands and combos will perform for adjudication throughout the weekend in Roussel Hall. Bands will perform every half hour until 4:30 p.m., with breaks each day for the 12:30 p.m. masterclasses. These sessions are free and open to the public.
According to Mahoney, the festival focuses on education as opposed to competition. "Loyola's Jazz Festival is about what you can learn from being here and the inspiration that you can get from listening to your peers," Mahoney said. "It's a great event to be a part of because the musicians get pumped up about music and all of its possibilities."
Two weeks prior to the festival, the Loyola Jazz Band will go on a six-day tour, performing at a college jazz festival in Chicago, Ill. and six high schools in Memphis, Tenn. and St. Louis, Mo.
The concert and masterclasses with Neumeister are made possible through support from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation. In addition, the Foundation provided support for scholarships to the Loyola Summer Jazz Band Camp and the Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp.

Howard W. Hewitt – Sometimes you just can't get the bug out of your system. Just last week we heard from Kyle Bender '12 who is working in Teach for America at Indianapolis.
Here is how he started his note: "One of the things I miss most about leaving Wabash is not being able to write professionally. My position as the computers teacher at Fountain Square Academy doesn't afford me the same opportunities I once had writing for the Bachelor and Public Affairs."
So what does a Wabash man do? Bender volunteered to help create a newsletter for TFA Corps members in Indy. When he got a list of teachers to profiles, he immediately saw the name of Patrick McAlister '10.
So here is Kyle's story – edited by his former Bachelor Advisor and Public Affairs employer, just like old times.
by Kyle Bender '12
Patrick McAlister has already developed a host of experiences in just three removed from Wabash. He began as a Charlotte 2010 Teach for America Corps Member, but transferred to Indianapolis to complete commitment.
He teaches 8th, 9th, and 10th grade ELA at Indiana Math and Science Academy-North, Indianapolis.
But McAlister has always liked multiple challenges so last fall he managed Caitlyn Hannon's campaign for Indianapolis Public School Board.
The draw to education first began while he was a Wabash student. Several alums visited campus to reflect upon their time in the classroom as corps members. McAlister was impressed and inspired by their words, particularly how TFA changed their entire perspectives on educational equity.
"My classmate Gary James and I talked a lot about getting involved in politics and policy," McAlister said. "We felt that education was the most important thing we could do right out of college. Based upon our backgrounds and experiences, Teach For America became the obvious outgrowth of what we could do."
Both joined TFA in 2010 – James assigned to Washington D.C., McAlister to Charlotte. Teaching honors chemistry and physics courses his first year, McAlister's students posted some of highest gains on the Charlotte district test.
However, at the end of his first year, family health issues prompted McAlister to request a transfer closer to his hometown of Fort Wayne.
"I needed to be closer to home, but I also didn't want to give up pushing forward and fighting for education reform," he said. "Teach For America was great. They understood my circumstances and I was able to be transferred to Indianapolis. I already knew the city and was also able to teach a subject I really enjoy and can incorporate other interests such as journalism and theatre. I feel very fortunate to be here."
While teaching ELA at IMSA-North, McAlister was also able to utilize another of his passions to support education reform efforts in the city. A veteran of several political campaigns and former press intern for Senator Evan Bayh, McAlister stepped up as campaign manager for his colleague Caitlyn Hannon (Indianapolis 2010) and her bid for IPS School Board.
"When you get into the business of working campaigns, too often you have to work for whoever pays you," McAlister said. "I have been fortunate that every campaign I have been a part of, I really believed in the candidate."
McAlister advises current corps members to not let teaching envelop their entire lives. He suggests trying new hobbies, reading good books for leisure, and enjoying everything Indianapolis has to offer. If not, he says, "you'll lose your mind."

ESTO � The Town of Esto discussed the upcoming Water Rate Ordinance during their monthly meeting held on Tuesday, March 5, which would increase the water rates for those using water provided by the Town of Esto.
ESTO � The Town of Esto discussed the upcoming Water Rate Ordinance during their monthly meeting held on Tuesday, March 5, which would increase the water rates for those using water provided by the Town of Esto.
Esto Town Attorney Jeff Goodman suggested a few adjustments to the ordinance and reviewed the procedure for introducing a new ordinance.
One adjustment was that the town put out a notice requesting compliance in 90 days.
�It doesn�t have to be 90 days,� said Goodman. �I just find this is the standard amount of days used for most municipalities I�ve worked with.�
Goodman explained that in order to adopt a new ordinance, the best procedure to follow was to put a notice in the paper before the next meeting, hold a public hearing and first reading, notice it again for the next meeting and hold another public hearing followed by a second reading and approval of adoption.
�This is provided so that the public has plenty of opportunity to give their input in the matter,� said Goodman. �This also gives you the chance to hear the public and give them two chances to speak their piece.�
The council members agreed to put in a public notice to have the first ordinance read and public hearing at their next scheduled meeting in April and the second and final reading and public hearing at the meeting scheduled in May.
Town Clerk Jody Sellers informed the council that she had received an invoice from their auditor for $10,000 for his services.
�He quoted me an estimate of between $6,000 and $7,000,� said Sellers. �Now he�s changed his mind and is requesting $10,000.�
Goodman said there wasn�t much he could do from a legal standpoint because it was only an estimate and not a set figure given and that there was no contract to bind that price.
�If you don�t protect yourself from the front end you can�t protect yourself in the back end,� said Goodman. �This isn�t a legal issue, it�s an issue with an employee; someone you have hired to do a job hasn�t provided the services required. I suggest you send him a letter telling him that he hasn�t provided his service in a timely manner and then tell him what you�re willing to pay.�
Goodman then advised them to have all their documentations in order to prove he had ample notification of the due dates of his work and from what he knew, Goodman said that the council had a favorable chance in getting the matter resolved in a positive manner.
The council agreed to draft a letter stating insufficient services and requesting the return of owed files and to make necessary contacts to hire a new auditor, this time under the prerequisite of having a contract as suggested by Goodman.
Sellers said the town had received a letter from the Department of Environmental Protection stating that all the requirements to get the water system up to code was almost complete, but the last requirement was also the most expensive.
�We need to paint the water tower and it needs to be done by April 2014,� said Sellers.
Town Council President Danny Powell said that DEP has worked with the town before and it was possible to get an extension.
�If you show you�re working to make progress they will work with you,� said Goodman.
The council members agreed to look into the request of a resident to put in a new backstop to be built at the town�s park at no charge to the town.
The council also agreed to look into resident Brady Well�s offer to sell his property to the town, which has been used by visitors as extra parking during the Two-Toed Tom Festival.
Powell agreed to council member Darlene Madden�s request for scaffolding for the soundman to use at the Two-Toed Tom Festival.
Powell also requested that their water meter readers log their meter readings in a log on a regular basis so that the town�s water operator can monitor and record any major changes.
The council agreed to inquire the Florida League of Cities on behalf of an employee in regards to Workman�s Comp.
�The employee followed proper procedures in regards to Workman�s Comp and we should contact our insurance provider to see what needs to be done now,� said Powell.
Sellers informed the council that they had received several complements of the fence donated to the town near the pond.
�Someone donated that fence in response to a concerned parent about their kids playing too close to the pond,� said Sellers. �It�s so nice that I�ve even seen people using it as a backdrop to take pictures.�
Madden gave an update on the progress of the Two-Toed Tom Festival.
For the car show she had received several calls from participants and that she found someone willing to judge, provide trophies, a sound system with a DJ and was also willing to �hook up� with other car shows for additional support.
She said someone was willing to put in the work to add additional power to certain areas if the town was willing to provide wire and a trencher.
Powell and council member James Daniels agreed to donate the wire and to look into making the needed adjustments so that they can rent a trencher for $150 and have the whole procedure done in one day.
Madden informed the council that there was someone donating handicap signs for parking, four to six parking signs and possibly a couple of banners in exchange for advertising in the event�s flier.
�There�ll also be inflatable slides and we�ve got plenty of vendors coming in,� said Madden. �Everything is set up for that morning�s opening ceremonies and we�ve got the Holmes County JROTC coming as well. Everything is coming together quite nicely.�
She also said that she had used the Town�s Sam�s Club card to purchase items for the Two-Toed Tom Beauty Pageant concession stand.
The next scheduled meeting for the town council is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2, at the Esto Town Hall.

Clammed up: Awful Arthur's stows its shuckers
"Gone Fishin'... Forever".
Crab and oyster lovers must've been shocked out of their shells when they read these words on the door of Awful Arthur's Seafood Company on West Main Street in the first week of January. This generally popular fishy franchise owned by Todd Lancaster of Roanoke had occupied the historic site at 331-333 W. Main for exactly 11 years. That's one big ole fish in the restaurant sea of Charlottesville, so one can't help but wonder why it went under.
"Absentee ownership isn't the way to go," Lancaster tells Dish, in one of the boldest confessions on restaurant record. "It's my fault for not making Charlottesville one of my priorities."
Growing responsibilities in Roanoke began to take precedence over the West Main location about four years ago. These include Lancaster's soon-to-be-three Awful Arthur's in the Roanoke-Salem area and the soon-to-be-four members of his family (his wife is expecting their second child any day now).
"Charlottesville has so many great locally owned restaurants, and it really takes a passionate, involved person to make a place a success," says Lancaster. "My passion is here with my family now."
So can we expect a local restaurateur-entrepreneur to take Arthur's place? According to property manager Jack Darrell, the answer is yes.
"We're talking to several local people and expect to have an answer very soon," he told Dish in mid-January. Darrell is in the process of supervising a clean sweep of the restaurant, which boasts original features such as exposed brick walls, pine floors, and fireplaces.
Built in the 1840s, this building played a role in Charlottesville entertainment history by serving as the site of Charlottesville's first karaoke bar, Mingles, which opened in early 1991 and lasted about a year.
Perhaps the building's most pivotal role was the near century it spent as Inge's Grocery Store. Started by school teacher and civic leader George P. Inge in 1891, this store in the center of a growing, still segregated city, was once the only place in town to get fresh fish.
According to Porch Swings to Patios: an Oral History of Charlottesville's Neighborhoods, Inge's also supplied groceries to the entire Vinegar Hill/Ridge Street neighborhood as well as the Clermont and Gleason Hotels, the University Hospital, the Dolly Madison Inn, and boarding houses in the University area. Since boarding houses for blacks were scarce at the time, the Inges shared their home above the store with distinguished Charlottesville visitors such as Booker T. Washington.
The son of the original proprietors, Thomas Ferguson Inge Sr., took over the store in 1946 and ran it until 1978. According to Jack Darrell, City Councilor/contractor Blake Caravati bought and restored the building in 1983, then immediately sold it to Darrell's client. As for the future, Dish will keep you posted.
Salmon– still healthy?
Speaking of fish, examination of the highly publicized study of farm-raised salmon that appeared in the January 9 issue of Science magazine is in order.
Alarming to many, annoying to others, the study discovered that farm-raised salmon have significantly higher levels of chlorinated pesticides (PCBs) than wild (Pacific) salmon. That's big news for Americans, whose craving for the pinkish, omega 3-rich fish has resulted in a 40-fold increase in farm-raised production over the past 20 years.
But is it a reason to switch to tuna or trout, considering that the wild variety won't be available until May 1? Not according to Chris Arsenault, owner of Seafood@West Main across the street from the Inge building.
"You should feel safe continuing your healthy diet of salmon," he says. "The PCB levels are too low to be concerned about. If there were a legitimate scientific basis, I wouldn't sell the fish."
While Arsenault says he hasn't noticed a significant decrease in salmon orders, he decided to cover his counter with information on the study, much of it presenting counter-arguments from a group called Salmon of the Americas.
FYI: Seafood@West Main gets its farm-raised salmon from Atlantic Salmon of Maine, which Arsenault says he picked because if its dedication to environmental issues.
One fish, gone fish.

Break a Sweat with Baby
As a new mom, you're busy morning till night, but that doesn't mean you can't squeeze in an effective workout. To prove it, we've put together some quick, energizing exercises that you can do at home in minutes. These simple moves work your whole body yet don't require hours of effort—plus, your baby will be front and center during these moves, so the two of you can bond while you're working out. You can do the "quickie" routines separately or together every other day. With your doctor's approval, it's fine to start doing these exercises as early as six weeks after you've given birth (probably longer if you had a Cesarean section).
* Baby safety: When performing exercises in which your baby must hold his head up on his own, be sure he can do so without discomfort (usually starting at 3 to 4 months old).
* Mom prep: Before performing any exercise, roll your shoulders back and down and draw your navel toward your spine to protect your back. Inhale through your nose and expand your ribs. Exhale through your mouth, drawing your abdominal muscles in.
Baby Dancing
Dancing provides a light cardiovascular workout that involves all the major muscle groups and improves balance and coordination. It's also sure to elevate your mood, no matter how tired and stressed you might be.
You can do this while holding your baby or with him in a front carrier that keeps him close to your body and supports his head (a carrier with straps that fit over your shoulders and around your waist is best). Just put on some music you love and dance, keeping your abs drawn in. For variety, try intervals of slow and moderately fast music to keep your heart rate elevated. (If your baby is in a carrier, be cautious when turning quickly and avoid bouncing.) Breathe deeply or sing out loud to monitor your exertion level; you should be able to speak without losing your breath.

$133.33 Payment - GUION MILLER ROLL OF EASTERN CHEROKEES
The 1906/09 "Roll of the Eastern Cherokees" is better known as "The Guion Miller Roll". It was created as a result of a successful lawsuit filed by three groups of Cherokees who had not been paid all of the money due them as a result of the 1835 Treaty of New Echota. This is the ILLEGAL "treaty" that resulted in the forcible removal from their homes of those Cherokees who refused to give up their tribal citizenship, and the infamous "Trail of Tears" in 1838/39. Thousands were first herded into "pens" and for weeks/months were given food that was not fit for human consumption, contaminated drinking water, and most were forced to sleep in the open. This was done in order to "break their spirit" so they would agree to go to the western wilderness lands of Indian Territory! It worked-- by the time they were to be transported, they would have agreed to go ANYWHERE in order to get out of the pens!
The Guion Miller Roll is the most important source of Cherokee genealogical research of any of the rolls, because the application required extensive information to be supplied by the applicant. Between 27 Aug 1906 and 18 May 1909 there were 45,940 applications filed from the United States, Canada, Mexico and-- Syria! It listed an estimated 90,000 individual applicants. Each qualifying applicant received a warrant worth $133.33 for their share of the one-time payment due to them. In order for an application to be accepted on this roll, the applicant had to prove descent from a person who was shown on the 1835 roll of Eastern Cherokees (also known as The Henderson Roll), which listed the citizenship of the tribe at that time. In order for them to have been listed on that roll as "citizens", they had to have lived in the Eastern Cherokee Nation..

Indian Rolls can be helpful, of course. However, names are variable. It was not uncommon for family members to record different names due to family times. Some examples are various families like the Tackett, Combs, Redbird, Little and others like Howard. Anna Tackett Ogrosky, my Cherokee grandmother also had links to all these families, among others. -Martin Redbird cherokeeempire.bravehost.comReplyDeleteReplies

WASHINGTON (AP) — CIA officers revealed a clash over how quickly they should go help the besieged U.S. ambassador during the 2012 attack on an outpost in Libya, and a standing order for them to avoid violent encounters, according to a congressman and others who heard their private congressional testimony or were briefed on it.
The Obama administration has been dogged by complaints that the White House, Pentagon and State Department may not have done enough before and during the attack to save U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, and by accusations that it later engaged in a cover-up.
One allegation was that U.S. officials told the CIA to "stand down" and not go to the aid of the Americans. Top CIA and Defense and State Department officials have denied that.
The testimony from the CIA officers and contractors who were in Libya on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, bolster those denials, but also shed light on what may have led to the delay of up to 30 minutes to respond, according to the varying accounts.
None of those who testified said a quicker response would have saved the lives of Stevens and communications specialist Sean Smith at the temporary diplomatic facility.
The senior CIA officers in charge in Libya that day told Congress of a chaotic scramble to aid Stevens and others who were in the outpost when it was attacked by militants on the 11th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Those CIA leaders decided they and their security contractor team should wait before rushing from their annex into the violence roughly a mile away. They said they were trying to first gather intelligence and round up Libyan militia allies armed with heavy weapons, according to the testimony by the CIA officers in charge.
Some CIA security contractors disagreed with their bosses and wanted to move more quickly.
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, who heads a House intelligence subcommittee that interviewed the employees, said he believes this disagreement was the source of allegations that the CIA ordered security personnel to "stand down" and not help the people inside the diplomatic mission, and perhaps was the source of accusations the administration failed to answer a call from the CIA security team for combat aircraft.
"The team leader knew he was on his own," said Westmoreland, R-Ga.
He explained that the lack of air support was clear to all CIA employees working in Libya because of a 2011 CIA memorandum sent to employees after NATO forces ended their mission in support of the Libyan revolution.
"It basically told people in Benghazi ... if you are attacked, you get your 'package' (the personnel they are charged with protecting) and you get out," he said in an interview with The Associated Press.
A senior intelligence official confirmed that the CIA officers on the ground in Benghazi responded to the diplomats' call for help by trying "to rally local support for the rescue effort and secure heavier weapons." When it became "clear that this additional support could not be rapidly obtained," the team moved toward the diplomatic compound.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the attack publicly by name.
One contractor testified that he shouted repeatedly over the agency's radio system to his CIA security boss that they should request combat aircraft. But the security chief explained to lawmakers that he ignored his subordinate's demands because he said he knew that no combat aircraft were available for such a mission, Westmoreland said.
Westmoreland said the CIA security contractors loaded into two vehicles, with weapons ready, the moment they heard the radio call for help from the diplomatic building. Some wanted to rush to the U.S. compound roughly a mile away, and their agitation grew as they heard increasing panic when the diplomats reported the militants were setting the compound on fire.
The CIA team leader and the CIA chief at the Benghazi annex told committee members that they were trying to gather Libyan allies and intelligence before racing into the fray, worried that they might be sending their security team into an ambush with little or no backup.
At least one of those security contractors, a former U.S. Army Ranger, was told to "wait" at least twice, and he argued with his security team leader, according to his testimony, related by Westmoreland. Westmoreland declined to share the names of the officers who testified because they are still CIA employees.
According to previous accounts by U.S. officials, the attacks began at approximately 9:40 p.m., and the CIA team arrived roughly 25 minutes into the attack.
None of those who testified would say they believed the ambassador or the others could have been saved had they arrived any faster, according to two officials, who also were briefed on the testimony. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the closed testimony publicly.
When the seven CIA employees reached the diplomatic compound, they fought their way in and found the five State Department security personnel who had taken shelter in various parts of the compound.
They found computer specialist Smith, dead from smoke inhalation, but couldn't find Stevens and decided to fall back to the CIA annex, because the crowd was building outside again, Westmoreland and the other officials said.
Stevens was found in a safe room and taken by Libyan civilians to a nearby hospital, but he died from smoke inhalation.
The CIA team believes their convoy was followed back to their compound, where they were first attacked by small arms fire around midnight local time, which quickly stopped when the CIA team returned fire, Westmoreland said.
Roughly five hours later, the CIA team testified that mortars hit, killing former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who had helped rescue the diplomats, and former SEAL Glenn Doherty, who had just arrived with a team from Tripoli.
The lawmakers wanted to hear directly from the contractors about their account before a book the contractors have written is published in September 2014, if it passes the CIA's security review.

So insinuates the Washington Post's Ezra Klein, who writes that, because Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) does not support the health care legislation forwarded by Senate Democrats, Lieberman "seems willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score."
In a subsequent post, Klein relies on the Institute of Medicine's methodology – which has been used to estimate that 22,000 Americans die each year from lack of insurance – to conclude that the Senate bill would save 150,000 lives over 10 years. He further claims that "Medicare saved lives." (In fairness, Klein writes that he's not accusing opponents of murder. When he writes of Lieberman's willingness to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths, maybe he's thinking of mass negligent homicide. Or something.)
On Twitter, Klein writes, "People are oddly resistant to talking about the impact of [health care reform] on lives. Do they think insurance has no connection to mortality?"
Indeed, health insurance does have a connection to mortality. But I'm pretty sure Klein doesn't know what it is, mostly because people with more expertise and fewer axes to grind don't know what it is.
For example, a careful study by health economists Amy Finkelstein and Robin McKnight found that in its first 10 years, Medicare had no discernible impact on elderly mortality rates. The authors hypothesize that prior to Medicare, seniors who lacked coverage largely got the care that they needed either by paying out of pocket or relying on public or private charity. Whether Medicare had any impact on elderly mortality after its first 10 years remains an open question.
Or consider a study by Richard Kronick, a professor of family and preventive medicine at U.C.-San Diego and a former health policy adviser to the Clinton administration. Kronick performed the largest-ever study on the health effects of being uninsured and concludes that the IOM estimate "is almost certainly incorrect." Kronick concludes that "the best available evidence" suggests "there would not be much change in the number of deaths in the United States as a result of universal coverage."
How can that be, when Ezra Klein finds his own argument so "intuitive"? Kronick admits "it is not clear" why the data produce such a counterintuitive result, but posits that existing channels "may provide 'good enough' access to care for the uninsured to keep their mortality rate similar to that of the insured."
Economists Helen Levy of the University of Michigan and David Meltzer of the University of Chicago surveyed the entire economics literature on the connection between health insurance and health. They conclude, "The central question of how health insurance affects health, for whom it matters, and how much, remains largely unanswered at the level of detail needed to inform policy decisions."
Sarah Palin's "death panels" claim had far more credibility than Klein's slander of Joe Lieberman, which, incidentally, also slanders anyone else who opposes the Senate bill. If there be justice in the world, that slander will backfire.

Some of Kentucky's most successful academic programs take place, oddly enough, when the school year is over.
Several of these got their start in the 1980s, and they have since given thousands of our brightest middle and high school students a chance to come together in a college setting and learn in ways that often extend beyond the traditional classroom.
The Governor's Scholars Program (GSP) is perhaps the most well-known of these. It began in 1983 and now serves more than 1,100 students each summer over several campuses across the commonwealth.
When I attended college at the University of Cincinnati following the path of least resistance to earn my English degree with a minor in journalism, my fourth-floor walkup studio apartment stood just across from the campus in the crowded neighborhood at the corner of Clifton and McMillan streets. It featured a healthy business district that catered to students and fraternity members.

"There's nothing wrong with women having children, taking care of their homes and being domestic. That's what they were created for, after all."
Something shattered inside of me when I heard these words come from a girl in one of my classes my first year of college. Suddenly every nuance of sexism I've experienced in my life was tossed onto the shore of my conscience by a new wave of passion.
As it has for nearly two-and-a-half centuries, our nation will pause on Monday to celebrate its "birthday," commemorating a time 240 years ago when the Founding Fathers declared our independence.
Since July 4, 1776, we have weathered a war for our freedom, a war against ourselves, and wars against those who would like nothing more than to see us and our values falter. Although the world has changed in countless ways since Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence, our commitment to protect and promote freedom has never wavered.
This is one of those race-to-the-bottom columns.
I've tried in vain to access my superego countless times during the week with the intention of writing about some uplifting topic.
A very divided United Kingdom voting to destroy continental unity and scuttle their long relationship with the European Union — what largely seems a system to oversee commerce and to bolster the economy there — makes it seem naive to talk about the evidence I see of an improving economy at home.
Despite the doom and gloom predictions that print is dead, community newspapers like the Henry County Local are flourishing.
But why?
First and foremost, we are the only consistent local media presence in the county. While there are others who pop in and out when "big" news hits, we're here with our readers week in and week out to bring you a variety of coverage, including the "big" story, and so much more.
The General Assembly may be at its busiest during the first several months of the year, when the House and Senate are focused on passing new laws, but the summer and fall months are important as well to the legislative process.
We were at a friend's house over the weekend for a cookout. It was a beautiful day, although cloudy, but humidity was low and sitting outside was rather comfortable with a strong breeze carrying across the back patio.
Despite the mild weather, the 3-year-old daughter of other friends who also came to the cookout immediately wanted to get in the above-ground pool just as soon as they arrived. She was warned that it was still early in the season and that it wasn't a very warm day so the water would be pretty cold.
Since House and Senate leaders announced Thursday morning that budget talks had stalled, there have understandably been many questions from the public about what happened – and what is likely to happen next.
If the conflict could be boiled down to a single word, it would be "education."
The House believes that, in an era where there is money to meet our core needs and fully fund contributions to our two main public retirement systems, schools and universities should not be cut.
There have been several times in my life when I remember where I was or what I was doing when something monumental happened.
Perhaps the event in history that has been most impactful and unforgettable in my lifetime was 9/11.
On Monday, Sept. 10, 2001, I flew to Norfolk, Va., for a weeklong corporate leadership training for new managers.
The Henry County Local will be closed on Monday, Jan. 18, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Early advertising and editorial deadlines of Friday, Jan. 15, by noon will apply for the Jan. 20 issue.
By U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie
Life coaches sometimes indicate that New Year's resolutions are a bit toxic, because they typically set the resolvers up for quick failure. And, so, they should be avoided.
I made a resolution over the holidays, but it isn't all that difficult or complicated.
Henry County made national news last week after a Henry County High School student's Facebook post about seeing another student refused lunch went viral, caught wind and sailed across local airwaves, across the country and even across the pond hitting the news in London.
The student's post expressed frustration with the school district for not allowing the other student to have a meal because her lunch account was overdue.
In Aesop's fable of the ant and the grasshopper, the ant works through the summer to create a store of food for the winter while the grasshopper laughs at him and spends his summer days playing. When winter comes, the ant has enough food to last through the cold months while the grasshopper dies of starvation. It is a cautionary tale of the importance of preparing for hard times even in times of plenty.
If it's true that it takes years of preparation to be an overnight success, the same can also be said of many laws approved during a legislative session.
This year is a prime example, with several high-profile measures having been considered by the General Assembly before. That includes those addressing booster seats, dating violence and an update of the state's telecommunications laws.
A Well-deserved 'Thank you'
