Readers learn of his past, his education, and his sense of moral justice, as he begins to unfold the story of Jay Gatsby. The story proper begins when Nick moves from the Midwest to West Egg, Long Island, seeking to become a "well-rounded man" and to recapture some of the excitement and adventure he experienced as a soldier in WWI. As he tries to make his way as a bond salesman, he rents a small house next door to a mansion which, it turns out, belongs to Gatsby.
Scott Fitzgerald, one of the foremost twentieth century American writers.
His father, Edward, brought breeding, charm, and a sense of elegance to the family, although as a businessman, he experienced only marginal financial success. Fitzgerald's mother, Mollie McQuillan, was the daughter of an Irish immigrant who made a fortune in the wholesale grocery business.
Although she came from a family of means, she had little interest in society life, except as it regarded her son's future. The family lived comfortably on the outskirts of the city's most fashionable residential neighborhood, Summit Avenue, thanks largely to the generosity of the McQuillan family.
Although the Fitzgeralds lived just blocks from the city's most elegant and wealthy families, they were not considered rich and therefore were perched precariously on the community's social hierarchy.
They possessed what some critics have come to call "a certain genteel shabbiness. The Fitzgeralds lived in Minnesota on and off during Scott's youth. When his father's business folded inthe elder Fitzgerald took a job the following year as a salesman for Procter and Gamble, consequently moving his family to New York, first to Buffalo, then Syracuse, and then back to Buffalo.
He was fired from his job inand just months before Scott's twelfth birthday, the family returned to St.
Paul where the McQuillan family still lived. From that point, the Fitzgeralds essentially lived off the McQuillan family fortune. Although Scott would call St.
Paul home from tohe was often not there. Rather, he spent much of that time at boarding school, at Princeton University, in the army, and in New York City. Prep School and College Although Edward and Mollie Fitzgerald did not mingle much in the society life of their community, they saw to it that Scott met the right people.
He attended the prep school and dancing classes where the elite sent their children. InFitzgerald entered the St. Paul Academy where he was received with mixed welcome many of the students apparently thought he was too arrogant.
He excelled in debate and athletics, pushing himself continually. He would publish three more stories in the next two years.
He would also begin writing plays while still a student at St. Inhowever, due largely to Scott's less than stellar scholastic record, his parents sent him to the Newman School, a Catholic prep school in Hackensack, New Jersey.
Here he met Fr. Sigourney Fay who would serve as a mentor, encouraging him to develop his talents and pursue his dreams of personal achievement and distinction. During the years at Newman, Fitzgerald published three stories in the school literary magazine, helping him to realize that despite his interest in athletics, he was more successful in literary endeavors.
InFitzgerald entered Princeton University.In the five years between the publication of his first novel, This Side of Paradise () and his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby (), F Scott Fitzgerald experienced the kind of literary success. The Great Gatsby is probably F.

The Great Gatsby is an American classic and a wonderfully evocative work. Like much of Fitzgerald's prose, it is neat and well--crafted.

Many of these events from Fitzgerald’s early life appear in his most famous novel, The Great Gatsby, published in Like Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway is a thoughtful young man from Minnesota, educated at an Ivy League school (in Nick’s case, Yale), who moves to New York after the war.

Browsing is an important part of a children’s education. Educational kids’ books can help improve vocabulary, increase awareness of the world, and interest them in learning. It is essential that your children be able to read in order to do well in school. Possessing a positive outlook on reading makes it much easier for the kids to learn how to read. You may transfuse this interest once your children are incredibly young in order that they expand up to love literature. kids books
Reading aloud to your children everyday will show them to a quantity of stories, characters, and plots. They are going to soon learn how interesting children’s literature can be, and are likely to want to learn how to study on their own as they grow older. Reading aloud should be done for over twenty minutes each day. Various parents choose to read 1 or 2 books to their children prior to bedtime. Browsing is a calming activity that can wind down children after a busy day.
Taking your children to the library can become a great way to get them considering reading. This kind of allows you to show them to educational youngsters’ books without having to get them yourself. Getting them their own library cards can teach them to love reading, as well as responsibility for property which is not their own. Ask the librarian to show you and your young ones around the youngsters’ section so that both of you can get a feel for the place. Also inquire about story time and other pursuits.
As you read little one’s books to your children, be certain to interact with the storyplot. Use special noises for every single character. Ask your children inquiries to keep them involved in the activity. This will likely also hold their interest, and teach them that they need to pay attention so that can provide the right answers. Pay for books which may have been made into a movie. View the movie with your children after reading the books, and discuss the similarities and dissimilarities between your two.
Create a good reading environment for your children. Have a specific space for your children to look through children’s literature that includes a e book shelf and comfortable furniture such as a veggie bag chair or child recliner. Make certain there are several books that the child enjoys in the book case. Avoid making your child to see or listen to you read aloud. This can help them grow to despise reading and books.
While you can see, subjecting your sons or daughters to reading and educational kids’ books is a very simple process. Be sure to commence reading to your children when they are still young. Even if they don’t seem to be to understand, it will help them discover how to love books. Since they become older, there are more fun activities that you can do with your children regarding reading that will increase their interest.


Our client had lived in their 4300 sq. ft. Vancouver Westside Residence since 2002. This major renovation took a little over a year. We opened up the main floor to provide a more flexible plan for this young family and their lifestyle. The kitchen layout now includes a ten foot island, a beverage area, wok kitchen and a peninsula to service the patio. The beautiful European kitchen by Alno is open to the dining room and family room, where the family spends most of their time. Two linear gas fireplaces grace the main floor. One in the formal living room and one in the family room. The library is a space for their two children to study and to also showcase the family’s vintage book collection. Upstairs, both of the children chose their bedroom furniture and accent tiles in their very own Ensuites. The Master bedroom includes custom furniture, millwork to hold the wall mounted TV, European textured wallcovering and sliding barn doors to the walk-in closet. The Ensuite is complete with a Japanese soaker tub, walk-in shower, toilet room, towel warmers and a stunning trough style sink from Wetstyle.

Wow! Over 800 printed and handwritten pages describing the use of color in painting! Not sure how to describe how blue that shade really is, other than “really blue?” The artist known as “A. Boogert” has got it down to an art. In 1696, Bogart took the time to handwrite 800 pages in Dutch about the use of colors in painting and the way they change by adding even slightest mix of water. A. Boogert’s book of color shows striking similarities to Pantone’s Color Guide which was not published until 1963.

A 1690 Copper engraving of the Comet of 1680, Nuremburg, hand colored. Text in Latin and German. Christoph Weigel published under his latin name Christophoro Weigelio, his 'Ethica Naturalis, a so called "Emblem Book". Emblem books were a particular style of illustrated books developed in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. The 'Ethica Naturalis' contains 100 picture/text combinations, of which COMETA is number 92. It is a combination of an engraving and a short text.
Published in 1691 in Matheus Merian's Theatri Europaei, Zwölffter Theil. Of all the marvellous signs visible in the Heavens and on Earth none of the least is the dreadful comet which showed itself Thursday December 16, 1680,just after the fall of night. The star itself was as bright as the stars of the second of third brightness, but a very fiery tail, that when the star stood just about on the horizon would stretch from South-West to North-East and would cover most part of the sky. The tail was bright and clear, but transparent, so that the fixed stars underneath it were clearly visible and recognizable.

The personal opinions of the author are not present while reading the book, leaving it completely objective. This shows how Toland’s purpose is to inform and educate, rather than to indoctrinate. He presents both sides while passing no judgment on either, even while describing malicious acts such as the Red Army’s mistreatment of the fleeing civilians or the evidently foolish mistakes made by Hitler and his officers. The Last 100 Days is a narrative, and that’s all. John Toland puts forth an honorable work demonstrating qualities scarcely seen today in other works, the media, and even within our own government.
Based on my reading of The Last 100 Days, John Toland would seem to be a truthful, while still purposeful, author. John Toland also does not fail in keeping the progression of the story interesting. With his research, he delves into how the opposing sides, factions, and individual characters feel. This keeps things captivating while simultaneously reporting the statistics and occurrences of the war. Toland demonstrates his writing ability, leaving the impression of a talented historic author. Moving on, the major happenings of The Last 100 Days shall now be covered.
The story first opens with a description of the state of Allied POW’s at Sagan, most likely to show the severe conditions at this of World War II. There seems to still be a small chances for Germany, but it is faced with the pressing forces coming from the surrounding Allies, especially the Russians. The Russians unnecessarily demonstrated ruthlessness and even at times cruelty during their advancement including the execution of unarmed and injured German POW’s at Wugarten. This showed how even the seemingly “good guys” can be malicious during times of war.
In the midst of this terror among many others, Germany’s eventual defeat becomes evident and several Allied countries meet at Yalta. At this meeting, the objectives include creating cooperation for a lasting peace and break down any walls preventing this. Britain and American threats continue to become larger as the prominent efforts made by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill help Allied forces cross the Rhine. Losing ground, Hitler launches a failed last offensive at the Battle of the Bulge, and continues to fall with the Russians taking Vienna, Lepzig being taken, and other losses.
American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt passes away towards the final days the war in Europe, and is replaced by Harry Truman. Hitler begins to mentally collapse, and makes poor decisions for Germany. The commanders of Hitler’s army start to disobey Hitler’s orders as they realize the error of his decisions. Hitler realizes his inevitable defeat and humiliation and commits suicide prior to the Russians taking Berlin, Germany’s capital. What’s left of Hitler’s command surrendered and the Allies claimed victory on May 7, 1945.
After reading about the final days the war in Europe from a different perspective, I’m left to decide what it meant to me. Many things I had no idea about came to the surface for me, so it was most definitely learning experience. The Last 100 Days helped to me to see things that happened in the war in a different way. It wasn’t the usual great men of valor triumphing over the evil Germans. That was probably my most favorite part of the book. I think that Toland did a nice job of bringing unknown facts and perspectives to light. In conclusion, reading The Last 100 Days was a stimulating and enlightening experience.

What is the best way to recognize outstanding nonfiction for kids? I don’t think the ever expanding number of book awards is meeting the needs of teachers. We need more information about books that is curriculum related. Many awards are based on criteria that my grad students think are vague. Most of my grad students are not acquainted with the various awards, and they don’t consult the list of winners when preparing lessons. So…how do we move from just citing the notable features of a single book to discussing how this book fits into the larger purposes of teaching and learning? In fact, how do we discuss and recognize the possibilities of clusters of books working together?

The Hope Inspiring Debut Novel
WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE THREATENS TO REFORM THE TWO PARTY POLITICAL SYSTEM, THE WAR ON LOVE BEGINS.
What People are Saying
"This fictional fast read is entertaining enough to read during the holidays, and yet “real” enough to map onto the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election."
Carrie L. Williams - Editor-in-Chief, S.E. Region News
Dive into the Story
FALL IN LOVE WITH A DYNAMIC CAST AND A COMPELLING PLOT
Julia Conner is many things. A salt-of-the-earth beekeeper. A gardener who authors books on love, unity, and healing. The psilocybin-wielding guide for veterans with PTSD. What she’s not is a natural candidate for president of the United States of America.
But when Julia becomes a viral sensation after young influencers become obsessed with her seemingly naive belief that “love” can solve our political divide by healing the emotional wounds that lurk in the
heart of every person, she finds herself
at the center of a movement that threatens to destroy the highly profitable two-party political system.
To preserve the status quo, Julia and love itself become the target of twisted presidential candidates, cloying campaign staffers, sold-out media members, corporate interests, and a preacher seeking to wield Jesus’ power the same way the Romans once did.
Despite it all, Julia stands a hair width away from the presidency as election day approaches.
Scott is a fun loving, “fairly” eccentric author, coach and entrepreneur working at the nexus of spirituality, politics and social change.
He brings a unique perspective to political reform, having staffed both of Obama's presidential campaigns, working in foreign policy in DC for six years, and then transitioning to seven years of business growth in the sustainable tech world, which proved to be equally as compromised.
His journey from system disillusionment to personal transformation is portrayed in the captivating story of his debut novel, painting insight and hope into how we can re-imagine the systems and worlds that govern us.
To learn more about Scott, to ask him to speak or to inquire about hiring him for one-on-one coaching, visit his personal website.
Mackey leaves all the possible threads of a parallel reality exposed in Love Is Not The Answer – and gives us all a heads up about the dangers – and the promising pathways – of the coming presidential election of 2024. You don’t want to miss this revealing and entertaining read at the New Year onset!

On 30 August at 17.00 in the gallery of Liepāja Latvian Society House the exhibition "Witness of the Century. Meeting with Valentīna Freimane" will be open.
The theatre and film scholar, Doctor of Arts Valentīna Freimane (1922-2018) is associated with the development of Latvian culture and its incorporation into the context of global culture. Despite the political regime’s barriers, since the 1960s Valentīna Freimane created an alternative education system, becoming a “window to Europe” for several generations of soviet people, expanding awareness and understanding of world theatre and cinema processes, personalities, and phenomena. After the restoration of independence, she spoke to the world of Latvian culture and history. Throughout her life, V. Freimane has always remained convinced that circumstances do not shape people, rather people shape their own circumstances.
The exhibition "Witness of the Century. Meeting with Valentīna Freimane" will introduce the life story and personality of the outstanding film and theatre scholar with audio and video materials forming an important part of the exhibition. Those are interviews with Valentīna Freimane, broadcasts and films about her, made in Latvia and Germany. In 2022, the museum exhibition was displayed in the National Library of Latvia, but Liepāja's exhibition has been designed virtually from scratch, adding little-known facts about Valentīna Freimane’s time spent in Liepāja from 1950 to 2013 when she completely transformed the regional journalistic style and created the cultural consciousness in that now often has been taken for granted, but which was one of the trigger factors led to the awarding of the "European Capital of Culture 2027" to Liepāja. The exhibition follows the life story of Valentīna Freimane also in the periods of Rīga and Berlin, through photographs, documents, personal items, videos, and text fragments.
The texts and materials were selected by film scholar Anita Uzulniece and theatre scholars Margarita Zieda and Vēsma Lēvalde. Visual image was designed by Anna Heinrihsone, assisting by Dace Lanka. The project manager is Kristīne Jākabsone. Exhibits from the private archives of Valentīna Freimane’s family, Anita Uzulniece and the Grēviņi family, content from the National Library of Latvia, Liepāja Theatre, Liepāja University, Liepāja Museum, and other archives. Quotations from interviews and books by Valentīna Freimane, as well as memories of her students, are included in the exhibition.
The project is supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation, the French Institute in Latvia, SIA "PM-TM" and SIA "SBArt". The authors would like to thank Agnese Zeltiņa, Jolanta Treile, Anete Skuja, Maija Zvejniece, the Cēsis Art Festival and Juris Žagars, Rose von Praunheim, Aina Karele, Agita Leja, Aldis Kaupa.
The exhibition will be open in the Liepāja Latvian Society House until 28 September and is free of charge.
Three additional film screenings will be available as part of the exhibition "Witness of the Century. Meeting Valentīna Freimane":
On 8 September at 17.00 "Children of Paradise" (1946, director Marcel Carné)
On 15 September at 17.00 "L'Atalante" (1934, directed by Jean Vigo)
On 22 September at 17.00 "Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot" (1953, directed by Jacques Tati)
An introduction to the each film will be given in the words of V.Freimane, which she gave herself back in 2011 at the Cēsis Art Festival. The film screenings have been produced in collaboration with the French Institute in Latvia and the Cēsis Art Festival and are also free of charge.

Praise for Writing on the Landscape
Here's what people are saying about my 2017 book, Writing on the Landscape: Essays and Practices to Write, Roam, Renew:
“I have begun to read your lovely book. Already you remind me—in tone, perspective, word choice, and convictions—of one of my favorite Southern writers, Eudora Welty.”
—Dr. H. Bruce Rinker, Author, Ecologist, Explorer, Educator
“Writing on the Landscape evokes the emotional resonance of Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s Gift from the Sea. Just as Lindbergh used the gift of shells on the beach for understanding self and our place in the world, Jennifer Wilhoit reflects on the connection between writing and nature as “partners in our quest for wholeness.” With vulnerability and conviction, Jennifer demystifies the process of reflection and writing by providing achievable and natural mindfulness practices designed to access the wisdom and centeredness in all of us: the place of our truth. This lyrical and motivational guide has broad appeal and usefulness, and is essential reading for anyone on the journey toward self-discovery, balance, and healing.
—Lorraine Glover, LICSW, LMHC
“I was hoping to keep this review to 26 words (you'll understand when you read this brilliant book), but it just wouldn't do it justice. Whether you're an aspiring writer or an established pro, Writing on the Landscape is a stunning read, offering new riches on every page. The author, Jennifer Wilhoit, is a skilled writer … [and] a devoted child of nature as well. Nature permeates this work, and Jennifer shows you how to use the natural world to access those voices inside and outside of you that you may have forgotten or never known existed. The book contains many helpful exercises, but what sticks with me most is Jennifer's passion. She loves being a writer and she wants you to love being one, too. It's entirely contagious. I highly recommend Writing on the Landscape to you.”
—Burt J. Kempner, Award-Winning Writer-Producer
“[This is] a great book for laypersons, students, and writers. The author, Jennifer Wilhoit, is a colleague and friend that promotes transformative learning and embodiment in a way that is complementary to transformative and liberation pedagogies. I have thoroughly enjoyed it cover to cover; it is theoretically sound and filled with practical activities that engage presentational and propositional ways of knowing.”
—Donald Proby, Mediator, Peacemaker, Ed.D. Candidate
“Oh, what inspiring writing by Jennifer J. Wilhoit! As I read Writing on the Landscape, her words sparked my yearning to reach for my journal and pen to write. Her descriptions of nature are, hands down, some of the most poetic prose I have read. One can tell how much her soul has been infused with the energy and healing of the natural world. It is like having a writing coach, but in book form that is handy and always close by to be your muse. It is a wonderful tool because I’m not sure any book offers writers help with writing quite like this one. Many focus on the logistics of the writing process but Jennifer provides an expanded and deepened approach. Writing on the Landscape offers an approach based in nature practices and achieving wholeness that will not only inspire people to gear up and begin writing, but for writers to reconnect with what has stalled in their writing process as well.”
—Lisa D. McCall, Author, Public Health Researcher, Life Coach
“Writing on the Landscape touches my mind, heart, body, and spirit. The author and I are kindred souls. My own thinking, writing, and nature-fueled philosophy of life resonate with Dr. Wilhoit’s entertaining and inspirational guide to writing and nature. Dr. Wilhoit narrates a journey, demonstrating how vital balance is in our pursuit of writing, as well as in our pursuit of life. And she evidences convincingly that we can achieve wholeness through conscious, reflective, and introspective immersion in nature. Dr. Wilhoit observes simply that the principal point of this book is the pairing of nature and writing toward being complete. Writing on the Landscape explores the sense of wholeness we feel when we engage a few simple, easy to exercise practices … deep and guided, step-by-step interactions with nature and its elements: land-, sea-, and sky-scapes. ‘The voices of the earth speak deeply and clearly to a writer.’ Dr. Wilhoit brings joy to writing through her own revelations: ‘I am in love with writing; writing seduces me. I am in the landscape of my soul. I write from the very core of who I am. That is what the natural world does for me and for my writing no matter where I am.’ Join Dr. Wilhoit and begin your own journey through the terrain of writing and nature.”
—Stephen B. Jones, Ph.D., Author, Co-Founder of Antioch’s Nature Based Leadership Institute, Founder of Great Blue Heron L.L.C.


The development of this book was no easy matter. The first obstacle was finding a willing publisher. I approached two publishers who declined after considering the proposal for some time. The reason was that they did not think the literature school market was big enough to warrant such a project even though the book was also to be sold to the public. This made me more aware of the challenges local writers and researchers face. If enrolment in literature remains as it is or continues to fall, this will have a trickle-down effect on writers, researchers and publishers and the overall literary culture in our country. Some time passed and I managed to contact Marshall Cavendish. Thankfully, they believed in the value of this project and were willing to give it a shot.
The second obstacle was funding. Copyright cost for the book came up to about S$7000 and I was about to throw in the towel until I met someone who suggested I approach various organizations to request for funding. Thanks to the Lee Foundation and Singapore Teachers Union, I managed to obtain a grant that covered these costs.
The book has finally been published and was off the press a few days ago! It has been a tremendous joy to work on this project. Although the anthology contains only ten stories, the selection of these stories took many months. I read countless stories and anthologies and much time was also spent corresponding with the authors and negotiating with their publishers. Broadly, I was guided by a few principles: 1. I wanted a range of contemporary writers originating from different parts of the world; 2. Each story had to deal with different global themes that I thought was important for students and readers to explore; 3. Finally, the quality of writing had to be compelling. Part of my research also involved reading critical literary reviews about each story I chose and I dare say that every single story in this collection has been intentional and carefully selected. I'm also thankful to my colleagues and friends who spent time during their holidays looking at the drafts and giving me critical feedback: Amelia Gan, Angelia Poon, Chin Ying Fen, Foo Soo Ling, Kali Sri Sivanantham, Matthew Crawshaw, Noridah Moosa, Reena Kaur, Sakunthalai Surian, Sandra Teng, Tessa Khew, Junaidah Abdul Wahab and Yang Wei.
I hope that literature teachers will pick up this book and introduce the stories to their students. More importantly, may the stories inspire new ways of engaging with urgent issues in our world today and help our students to be more globally aware, informed and empathetic. The book will also be available in local bookstores and I hope the general reader will find it provocative as well.

THE FOUNDING OF PONCA CITY
The following exerts are taken from "Chronicles of
The Founding of Ponca City, by Louis Seymour Barnes.
On March 3, 1893, Congress authorized the opening of the
Cherokee Outlet or Cherokee Strip as it has since come
to be called. It extended from the Arkansas River on the
east, two counties, wide, west along the north border of
Oklahoma and was the strip of territory that had been
reserved by the Government earlier in the century as a
pathway for the Cherokees from their lands in Eastern
Oklahoma to the western hunting grounds. On August 19,
1893, President Grover Cleveland issued a proclamation
that the land would be opened for settlement on
September 16, 1893, by run from both the north border
and the south border.
Burton Seymour Barnes, my father, had been in the furniture manufacturing business in Adrian, Michigan, but the depression of 1892 caused him to sell that business, and he was interested in finding a new venture. He read of the opening of the Cherokee Strip and in June 1893 went to Arkansas City to look over the new land. It was his idea to found a city. The more he thought of it, the more he became imbued with the idea. He bought a surrey and two fine black horses to drive over the Strip to find the best place to establish a city.
There was nothing at any of the railroad stops in the Strip except frame stations and small houses in which the railroad agents lived. Enid looked like a good location; but the Government owned the townsite, and Mr. Barnes did not think it would be profitable to start a city where the Government owned all the property. He drove east along a trail to Perry. There were no roads, no fences, and no bridges-merely trails winding between the railroad stops. Perry was also a Government town, and one of the Government Land Offices was located there. He did not think it would be possible to profit from real estate development at this Government city so he drove north along a trail and crossed creeks through the Otoe and Ponca Indian Reservations.
After leaving the Ponca Indian Reservation, the trail led to a spring at the present site of 13th Street and South Avenue in Ponca City. The trail went on from this point to the B & M Ford across the Arkansas River, which was located at the present site of the big bridge across the Arkansas River. Why it was named B & M Ford, I have never heard. The banks of the River were low and wide at this point, and this meant that since the water was shallow, it was easy to enter and cross the River. This Ford was used for about three years after the Strip opening, at which time the citizens of Ponca City raised a fund by contributions and built a wooden bridge at approximately the same site as the present bridge.
Mr. Barnes stopped at the spring, watered the horses, and filled his jug with the cool water and put the corncob stopper back into the jug. He was sipping a cup of the cool water when he saw a Santa Fe freight train go by less than a mile away. He exclaimed.
"This is the site for a new city. With such good water and a location on the Railroad near the River crossing, it is an ideal site for a city!"
In driving over the land between the spring and the railroad, he found it to be rolling but for the most part level. He was more than ever convinced that this was an ideal site for a new city. Passing along near the railroad, he came to Cross, a railroad stop one mile north. On making inquiry, he found that in drilling for water at Cross it was found to be reasonably good on the east side of the railroad, but on the west side, it was mostly" gyp" water. This fact led to him to believe that Cross could not grow into a large city and that the location a mile south was the ideal spot.
When he returned to Arkansas City, Mr. Barnes made a talk at the Opera House boasting of the new city. One man in the audience asked the question, "Will the trains stop at the new city?”
Mr. Barnes replied, "The trains will stop just the same as at Chicago.”
And Mr. Barnes replied, "There is a good spring of long use at the southeast corner of the city, and I believe that there is a large sheet of water underneath the entire city. This large expanse of underground water destines this location to grow into a large city.”
Consequently, he organized the Ponca Townsite Company
and sold 2,300 certificates at $2 each. This banded
together a large number of people, all of whom wanted to
take part in starting a city. The certificate entitled
the holder only to first call on the lots when the
owners of the property put them up for sale. The money
was to be used as a nucleus of city funds to be used for
surveying cross stakes on all blocks for grading and for
employment of a city Marshall. It was known that it
would be necessary to have a provisional city government
for two or three months until a city charter could be
obtained and a legal election held.
At high noon on Saturday, September 16, 1893, the starting guns then boomed! The race into the Cherokee Outlet was on as planned. The crowd surged forward through the dust and ashes of burned grass. By horseback, wagon, buckboard, train, and on foot they traveled. Claim stakes were driven on choice land. Then the race continued to Perry to file the formal claims. It was a hectic, exciting, even dangerous time!
On Thursday morning, September 21, the drawing for lots was held as promised. .A platform was erected in the middle of the block on the south side of what is now Grand Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets. The names of the certificate holders were placed in one box and the lot descriptions were placed in another box. It was understood that only one lot number would be placed on a card for business lots and two lot numbers placed on cards for residence lots. Two little girls were called upon to draw the cards from the boxes. The boxes were placed on a. high table above their heads to eliminate any chance of favoritism. The cards were shaken up in the boxes and the drawing began. One girl would draw a card with a name and the other girl would draw a card with the description and four secretaries entered the results in duplicate books. The drawing continued most of the day.
That same Thursday night hundreds of the new citizens gathered at a level spot about half a mile northwest of the wonderful spring which meant so much to the City. The group elected Mr. Barnes as Mayor of the new town and immediately he ordered the surveyors to work and employed a town Marshall to keep order. Tents sprang up in many locations. The surveyors worked continuously for two days. The city officers elected that night were:
B. S. Barnes, Mayor J. W. Dalton, Treasurer W. G. Cronkright, Clerk Councilmen: J. J. McManus, P. I. Brown, C. M. Flora, A. C. Fay, James S. Hutchins, Edward Grady.
All the claimants on three quarter sections agreed to participate in tile land division, but the claimants on the Northeast quarter refused, although they would have realized a substantial profit from the increase in value of their lots not assigned to certificate holders. It was known that it would probably take from six months to two years to determine who the rightful owners of these quarter sections would be and before valid deeds could be obtained. However, the certificate holders began immediately to build on the lots allotted to them in the drawing, hoping that satisfactory deeds would be issued when the patents were issued.
Within a week after the drawing, frame business structures began to appear up and down the street known as Grand Avenue. Grand Avenue was one block north of the center line of the section, but it was selected as the principal street because the terrain ran smoother and with fewer dips than the street a block south on the half section line.

One of the things I both like and dislike about these books is the shift in voice and style from author to author. It makes the series more interesting and colourful, and kinda like those Skittles where they’re one colour on the outside and a completely different flavour on the in — you really don’t know what you’re going to get until you bite into it. The arrangement’s good because it changes things up and you get a variety of talents so one or two poor showings don’t bode ill for the entire range, but I don’t like it for much the same reason — not every book is guaranteed to be an enjoyable read.
Archive for the ‘Reviews’ Category
I thoroughly enjoyed the Guardians series. While they’re surprisingly violent for books targeted at children, I still think of them as a good, easy read and do recommend them. The first few books especially were marvelous, though I must admit my favourite part of the entire series are the three books written about Hoole and Grank (honestly I think that those three books would have been better suited to the film adaptation than the ones actually chosen, though there were problems with the film that stretched far beyond the choice of material or adaptation decay that I won’t get into here). Actually writing out the legends instead of relating them piecemeal via exposition or dialogue was an excellent idea on Lasky’s part, especially considering what came after them in the series. However, I felt that it was after To Be A King that the series really lost its momentum, and it ultimately lets this final installment down.
Cleverly written as a ‘collection’ of personal stories across the world put together in the aftermath of a global zombie apocalypse, I thoroughly enjoyed the way Brooks chose to pace this interesting take on the post-apocalyptic zombie fare. There is just enough information to give the reader an idea of what went wrong and how without over-saturating with explanation and ruining the ‘feel’ of the book. There is no starvation for information however, and the ‘accounts’ cover many aspects of the ‘zombie war’. Government and military responses are mixed in with the survival stories of the average civillian, and there is a quite broad variety in the types of stories the reader is presented with.
A personal favourite of mine is one account of a ‘celebrity Big Brother’ type scenario gone terribly wrong, with a group of volatile showbiz types stuffing themselves into a fortified house and broadcasting their day-to-day survival. We can all guess how that panned out, though some predictability in this and other situations retold didn’t dull the entertainment value.
The entire ‘collection’ is presented in a sort of chronological order that covers the beginnings and the global spread, right through the military reaction and the eventual outcome and aftermath. Therefore, while World War Z is not a singular, linear narrative, it follows a timeline that nonetheless carries the reader through the history of the disaster without any confusing issues of when certain events occured. It is also, for the most part, well-paced.
One tiny nitpick I had, and of course, it’s just a personal quirk, is given the wide represenation of other nations throughout the collection, I would have loved to have seen a story from an Australian survivor (the one story ‘set in’ Australia was set in the aftermath and did not actually recount any events there). Instead I adapted a personal theory that Australia remained zombie free! Works for me!
However, if I had one real complaint to level at the book, and honestly it’s the only thing that actually stopped me from giving the book a whole five stars, it would be that the whole thing fell flat at the end. So much to the point, in fact, that I still haven’t done more than lightly skim the last few entries in the book. Once the aftermath phase of the collection is reached, much of the force and suspense falls off dramatically as the sense of immediate peril has ended, and the accounts start to become boring. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed everything preceding this section, and would still recommend it immediately to anyone looking for a good zombie apocalypse piece.
Talking about bookstores is important and all, but the purpose of this post is actually not what you might think it is at first glance. What I want to talk about is one bookstore in particular.
It’s a pretty nondescript shopfront and its sign says simply ‘Books’. Simple, effective, and when you get into the store, quite alarmingly appropriate.
This bookstore is home to millions of books.
The thing that makes this remarkable is this is probably three times as many books as they can actually fit on their shelves.
They are everywhere: piled atop one another in listing piles of dust and hardcovers; strewn haphazardly across the tops of crates packed full of paperbacks; arranged in little niches and under boxes; piles of whatever could not fit on the shelves stacked unevenly in front of their approximate location. They are packed into dusty crates stowed under the stairs as though locked in a cage through which readers can only gaze in wonderment at the mystery therein. They are shoved and piled all about the sales desk. They teeter on the tops of shelves, and shelves teeter on the tops of shelves also.
The above only shows half of the bookstore, if that, would you believe. And as you can infer from the depth of the aisles, there are a great many hidey-holes in this place and I lost sight of my company numerous times. We’d decided to set out on an expedition into the perilous depths of this bookstore specifically because my companion wanted to find some Pern novels with the old cover art, so naturally our first port of call was the spec-fic section.
Surprisingly, this section of the store was the most orderly, which is something I found surprising since, according to the store’s website:
“Australian history and politics and Australiana are the main specialty areas. The collection on labor movement and left-wing politics is the broadest in Australia, and stands up well by international standards, covering Australia but also other countries.”
And I certainly believe it. A good half or more of the bookstore was buried beneath tomes of the sort, though much of the bottom floor appeared to be dedicated mostly to fiction.
That was only half of the fantasy and sci-fi, but would you believe it? Not a single Anne McCaffery novel in sight.
However, since we’d come all this way out at 8 on a Saturday night (a good hour and a half of travel), we decided to probe depths of the bookstore we hadn’t been brave enough to venture into before.
We remembered why.
Many of these aisles could only be traversed sideways, carefully controlling the angle of my bag. The gaps between the ends of the aisles and the back wall were even thinner, about 30cm at most, I would imagine.
At one point, one of the other customers came across us lost in the maze of paper and dustjackets and asked me if I had any idea how everything was organised. I postulated it to be some arcane system beyond the comprehension of mortal men. But that for the most part it appeared to be alphabetical.
I did a little bit of looking-into on the bookstore, known as ‘Gould’s Book Arcade’, and found that it apparently enjoys a bit of renown for its breathtakingly daunting clutter, and, perhaps, wears it as a badge of pride. Most of the books, according to their website, are 30 years worth of publisher’s remainders and other similarly-acquired titles, and many of the reference and art books we picked through were old library stock. Of extra interest to us was that the shopfront represents only a portion of the store’s immense collection: they are also possessed of a warehouse ‘stacked floor to ceiling’ with boxes more.
As for what could be seen on the shelves, they had a little of everything. Amongst the oddities we spotted were Japanese Pokemon animanga, Australian phrasebooks written in French, an archaic book of ‘art photography’ which featured nothing but hairy naked men in grainy, 1950’s black and whites, and an obscene number of copies of a certain vampire novel — though when you consider the fact it was a second-hand bookstore, it was really not that odd at all.
As can be expected, we didn’t leave the store empty-handed; my companion managed to glean the prize of a first-edition print of Froud & Lee’s ‘Fairies‘ book in beautiful condition and paid barely a song for it.

|1992: Reading with a cat. What could be nicer?|
When I set out to do the Eclectic Reader Challenge last January, reading 12 books in 11 different genres in a year seemed achievable. However, I hadn’t then decided to embark on the final year of my Open University degree. When I signed up in early September to study Course A300: 20th Century Texts, it became obvious I wouldn’t only be sacrificing writing time. The course has 16 set books, ranging from 1930s poetry to 1960s science fiction, and an infinite number of reference books. The amount of reading this requires reminds me of what a tutor said when I studied for a year at
University as a mature student: “ for pleasure?
We’ll soon knock that out of you.” Reading
I hoped then, and still do, that he meant we would have so much course reading we’d have no time to read anything else. Because I can’t imagine ever not wanting to read. How dreadful it would be not to relish choosing the next book to take down from my shelf or select from the list on my Kindle, to no longer feel the thrill of starting that first page. Even if a book disappoints, I still get a sense of achievement at finishing it, and as a writer, it’s instructive working out what went wrong. And if it has been a satisfying read – what joy!
|This was c. 1967, so pardon the decor|
My parents were (and still are) avid readers themselves, so they knew that with the right groundwork I could develop into one too. Admittedly, growing up as an only child in rural
Dorset at a time when there were only three TV channels,
I had little choice in the matter. I had to read or take up a sport (I’ll pause
briefly for those of you who know me stop laughing at that idea.)
Mum worked as a hairdresser from home in those days, her ‘salon’ a room at the end of the house kitted out with a sink and two hairdryers on wheels. This being the 1960s, she mostly did shampoo-and-sets and the occasional perm, and when each customer’s hair had been put into rollers they sat under a dryer. When I was very young I would persuade some of them to forgo the pleasures offered by the magazines provided and instead read my storybooks to me. As I grew older I got pushier and insisted on reading out loud to a favoured few, the word ‘loud’ being apt – those hairdryers were very noisy.
The books in my primary school’s library – a large cupboard, really – were augmented by fortnightly visits from Dorset County Council’s mobile library or, as it was known then, the Library Van. I’d feel very grown-up climbing up the steps unaided, making my own choices, then cycling home with a basketful of books. Enid Blyton’s Famous Five were my heroes for a long time. I once announced to my parents that I wanted to be called George, though I don’t remember their response.
Then I progressed to Blyton’s
series. This resigned me to having a girl’s name but left me hankering after a
boarding-school education with all the lacrosse and midnight feasts that came
with it. Mum and Dad took me every Saturday
to Beeches Bookshop in Malory Towers .
The lovely building is still there but Beeches closed down long ago. In the
early ‘70s, though, it was stuffed to the rafters with books old and new, most
in rows on open shelves, some so precious they were kept in locked
glass-fronted cabinets. You could buy four hardback children’s books for £1,
and they’d take them back later in part-exchange for yet more. Angela Brazil’s
schoolgirl adventures, with titles like The
Nicest Girl in the School and A
Fourth Form Friendship, were already past their heyday by then but I didn’t
|1969: I was a swot|
When I was a teenager, there being no such thing as young adult fiction back then, I started reading what Mum read: crime fiction. The rest, as they say, is history.
I started this blog post intending to examine the difference between reading for pleasure and reading for study. It’s been hijacked by my childhood recollections, which probably means I’m older than I like to think. Anyway, I have a subject for another post now. In the meantime, what memories of childhood reading do you have?

The young co-ed discovers that the Baumgartners have wayward plans for their au pair that are going to lead places she could have only imagined. Note: This wicked hot sun and sand coming of age story will seduce you as quickly as the Baumgartners seduce innocent Ronnie and leave everyone yearning for more!
Ronnie, now all grown up with a family of her own, gets a memory-jolting invitation to join the Baumgartners at their vacation home in the Florida Keys, and suddenly, everything comes flooding back. She hasn't thought about the Baumgartners in years, at least that's what she tells her wildly handsome husband, T. But it turns out that her curious husband has made a few phone calls and opportunity, or perhaps fate, presents itself, giving them a chance to live out their fantasies.
But once again, Ronnie finds herself torn between what she wants, and what someone else wants for her. Henry Baumgartner's in trouble. He used to be a big fish in a little pond, but now he's in college, and the world sure seems a lot bigger! Instead of passing him because of his athletic ability like they did in high school, he discovers his professors actually mean it when they say he needs to do the work or he's going to fail his classes - and be kicked off the all-star hockey team. Turns out, Henry's been keeping a secret, and while he desperately continues to try to keep it, from the girl he's got a crush on, from his roommate who's after the same girl, from his parents and teachers and coaches, he knows he can't go on keeping it forever.
So when his parents hire him a tutor, he turns to this angel of mercy for help, but little does he realize that Mrs. Toni Franklin is going to complicate his life in ways he never could have foreseen This is the first book I've listened to in this genre and it was crazy!

It was like a porno with an intriguing storyline which had you guessing of what was going to happen next. I wasnt a huge fan on the last story. It sounded like he was speaking into an oscillating microphone, there were times I could not even hear the words he was speaking.
Not enough that you can't understand what is happening, but enough to be annoying. The rest of the set is great! Really enjoyed the stories and sexy characters.
Baumgartners Boxed Set 2 (Unabridged)
As expected from selena, very well thought out. I liked the first two books but the 3rd left a lot to be desired and the ending seemed very forced.
It was annoying and totally unnecessary. The mail narrator in book three voice kept trailing off. But overall the series was a 3. I like sex, but that's all it was.
I regret having purchased this book. I was expecting a good storyline. This was a narration of a pornographic flick. Totally unrealistic plot and a story line up.

Say Goodnight, Gracie.
I love this novel. In the 7th grade, I somehow managed to get into the accelerate reading program. My teacher, Mrs. Graf, loaned me her copy of Julie Reece Deaver’s “Say Goodnight, “Gracie” to check out. It was a personal favorite of hers. After learning that I fancied stories with more emotional pull and that I had danced for several years, she knew that this was a story I had to read at least once. This was a story that I couldn’t put down and couldn’t get out of my head. Even now, nearly 15 years later, I think of it whenever I think of the books I’ve read in my life that have touched me.
The story is about a girl named Morgan, who has to cope the death of her best friend, Jimmy, in a tragic vehicle accident on his way to pick her up from a dance audition. This story was extremely well-written and one of my all-time favorites. It’s definitely not my usual romantic comedy go-to, but I related to it. I was best friends with a brother and sister from my dance class at the time. I couldn’t imagine what I would have done had I gone through something similar to what Morgan went through. Their friendship was something to admire and I wish I had a friend that I was that close with growing up (minus the whole them dying aspect, of course).
I was so excited earlier today when I found the 20th anniversary edition available on Amazon and made no hesitation to purchase it. I had been looking for it for years. When I read that it had stopped being reproduced, I was devestated. Why I never thought to check sites like Amazon and Half by eBay I’ll never know. I’m glad I thought to check today, though. I can’t wait to reread the book once it gets here!

Home > Christmas Stories
It Was the Same Christmas Morning
A Christmas Story for Girls
In Philadelphia the rich and the poor live cheek by
jowl—or rather, back to back. Between the streets of the rich and parallel
to them, run the alleys of the poor. The rich man's garage jostles elbows
with the poor man's dwelling.
In a big house fronting on one of the most fashionable streets lived a
little girl named Ethel. Other people lived in the big house also, a
father, a mother, a butler, a French maid, and a host of other servants.
Back of the big house was the garage. Facing the garage on the other side
of the alley was a little, old one-story-and-a-half brick house. In this
house dwelt a little girl named Maggie. With her lived her father who was
a labourer; her mother, who took in washing; and half a dozen brothers,
four of whom worked at something or other, while the two littlest went to
Ethel and Maggie never played together. Their acquaintance was simply a
bowing one—better perhaps, a smiling one. From one window in the big
playroom which was so far to one side of the house that Ethel could see
past the garage and get a glimpse of the window of the living-room in
Maggie's house, the two little girls at first stared at each other. One
day Maggie nodded and smiled, then Ethel, feeling very much frightened,
for she had been cautioned against playing with or noticing the children
in the alley, nodded and smiled back. Now neither of the children felt
happy unless they had held a pantomimic conversation from window to window
at some time during the day.
It was Christmas morning. Ethel awoke very early, as all
properly organized children do on that day at least. She had a beautiful
room in which she slept alone. Adjacent to it, in another room almost as
beautiful, slept Celeste, her mamma's French maid. Ethel had been
exquisitely trained. She lay awake a long time before making a sound or
movement, wishing it were time to arise. But Christmas was strong upon
her, the infection of the season was in her blood. Presently she slipped
softly out of bed, pattered across the room, paused at the door which gave
entrance to the hall which led to her mother's apartments, then turned and
plumped down upon Celeste.
"Merry Christmas," she cried shaking the maid.
To awaken Celeste was a task of some difficulty.
Ordinarily the French woman would have been indignant at being thus
summarily routed out before the appointed hour but something of the spirit
of Christmas had touched her as well. She answered the salutation of the
little girl kindly enough, but as she sat up in bed she lifted a reproving
"But," she said, "you mus' keep ze silence, Mademoiselle Ethel. Madame,
vôtre maman, she say she mus' not be disturb' in ze morning. She haf been
out ver' late in ze night and she haf go to ze bed ver' early. She say you
mus' be ver' quiet on ze Matin de Noël!"


Like most families part of our bedtime routine is to read books. Now that Nathan is older he typically spends time reading on his own as he reads chapter books. Part of his homework though is to spend time reading out loud to work on his word pronunciation. So we do get to hear what he is reading.
Every night though (unless we are out late or too sick/tired) Karensa cuddles up with one us to read a book (or two or three) before bed. Sometimes she even sits with Nathan and he reads to her. When it is a book that Nathan really likes, typically one I read to him when he was younger he will join us.
Below is a list some of our favourite books and why they make the list. We have a good collection of books in our house and when we want something different we take a trip to the library. But some books are just so good that they get read over and over!
The Monster at the End of this book – Someone we know recommended we buy this book, so we did. The kids love it and it provides good suspense and a nice surprise ending.
We’re going on a Bear Hunt – We love this as a song/action game when going on walks so naturally enjoy the book too! A nice fun one, and I remember singing this as a kid.
I Love you Forever- I bought this book shortly after Nathan was born and even when the book is not read, every night as I tuck him in I say “I love you forever, I like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you’ll be”.
Smiley Shark and Clumsy Crab - I am not sure if it is the nice, bright pictures or the silly antics of the ocean creatures but lately these are Karensa’s favourites.
Seeing Red- This one is a new favourite, when Karensa saw it in the Scholastic flyer she asked me to get it and since we love Robert Munsch I did. We were not disappointed and as always the story line is cute and adventuresome. Plus, an added bonus was one of the kids in the story is named Arie, which happens to be my dad’s name and is not a name you see often.

An Epic Tale from Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows
In the rugged High Sierra at the north end of Lake Tahoe, California, two adjacent valleys lie protected by high peaks to the west and separated by a massive ridge. The story of how these two remote valleys became two (now one) of the best-known ski areas in North America, begins with their discoveries by two visionaries: Wayne Poulsen, a young ski competitor from Reno, who first saw the potential in Squaw Valley while fishing there as a boy in 1931, and John Reily, a Los Angeles businessman who came to Squaw Valley in 1955, and saw from the top of the KT22 ski lift a pristine valley to the south.
By 1960, Squaw Valley, having hosted the Winter Olympics, had become a world-class ski resort, with extensive facilities and a lively community of permanent and part-time residents. Meanwhile, Alpine Meadows’ investors and homeowners shunned commercial development, and prided themselves on being a “family area—owned and operated by real skiers.”
How these two valleys—so close geographically yet so distant philosophically—survived avalanches, fires, floods, lift accidents, economic ups and downs, ski trends, public opinion, good and bad management; and how the corporatization of both sides of the mountain inevitably joined them as one, is a story about the people who lived, worked and survived all of the above in both valleys.
Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows: Tales from Two Valleys 70th Anniversary Edition
Available for Pre-Order | Publication Date: October 7, 2019
Nestled amid California’s High Sierra Peaks, two valleys have captured the imaginations of skiers and mountain explorers year after year.
Squaw Valley made a name for itself on the world stage as the host of the 1960 Winter Olympics. Meanwhile, just over a high ridge, Alpine Meadows was developed by devoted local skiers and Bay Area families. Discover the stories of Wayne Poulsen, John Reily and Alex Cushing as they battle avalanches, fires, floods, public opinion and the whims of mountain weather. This revised edition celebrates these two North Lake Tahoe locales, now united and looking to the future.
Local award-winning author and ski historian Eddy Ancinas shares the history of these two valleys as no one has done before.

Kirsty is reading a very interesting book at the moment called “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It” by Gary Taubes.
It talks about all the bad nutritional science of the last century. It touches on what role genetics plays in our weight and reveals the good science that has been largely ignored.
He doesn’t waste one sentence or bore you with a multitude of references. It is packed with great information and has an easy to-follow-diet at the end. Its worth a read!
