Westminster's annual first-year move-in day kicked off on August 27, 2021. Students joined OLs for orientation and welcome week activities.
City moves...but slow down a bit in a traffic light.
time to kiss!
time to think a bit
I had a long day...
what will be the dinner to night?
time to take a long breath
too tired today!
Each character were floating in their own thought.

Students move into their dorms as they prepare to start a new year at Loyola University New Orleans.
A new chapter for Pataphysical Studios started today, as we moved the 'Pataphysical Slot Machine to a new home. Our poetic oracle made its maiden journey to the hilltop ranch of Drs. Canard and Figurine, after six years of art incubation in Dr. Rindbrain’s backyard.
The move went very smoothly, with a fine crew of goggled pataphysicians on hand. It took us about four hours to load, unload and set up the exhibit, on a balmy Saturday afternoon. Getting the electronics connected took about an hour — and we got it all working, with a bit of soldering and ritual incantations.
We celebrated this historic occasion with a shot of absinthe and lots of good cheer. Ubu and the Slot Machine seem to fit right in their new home: a lovely guest room with a private entrance, overlooking an idyllic garden with views of the bay.
We plan to host viewing parties and open studios every few months, so others in our community can get to experience the Slot Machine and its magical wonderboxes. Long live Ubu!

STORE OF LEWEY & SON, FURNESSVILLE.
[Note: Lewey is misspelled and should be Lewry.]
Date: 1895

Remark: William Lewry was a native of Brighton, County Sussex, England, and emigrated to the United States in 1855. He and his wife, Sarah, moved to Furnessville in 1858. One history reports that William opened his Lewry & Son store in 1878, though a newspaper item in the Porter County Vidette strongly suggests it was opened 1880. William's son, Henry, operated the store after his father's death in 1917.
The original complex illustrated here includes Lewry's store, wagon shop, and blacksmith shop. All three buildings were destroyed by fire in 1923, and only the store was rebuilt.
Henry Lewry served as postmaster of Furnessville from 1883 to 1909, operating the post office from the grocery and provisions store. The newly built store remained in operation until the construction of the Dunes Relief Highway (US Highway 20), where it was in the path of the road construction. The store was removed to Porter where it served as a church and later as a private residence. The structure is believed to still exist. Lewry is the storekeeper referred to in naturalist Edwin Way Teale's autobiography Dune Boy: The Early Years of a Naturalist [1943; Dodd, Mead, & Company].

THE COUNTY.
FURNESSVILLE.
Mr. Wm. Lewry, our village blacksmith, contemplates building a store, which will be a great benefit to our people, and as Mr. Lewry is one of the early settlers and a trustworthy and honorable person we know of no other which could carry on the business so successfully.

The following newspaper item appeared in the December 16, 1880, issue of the Porter County Vidette:
THE COUNTY.

Fire totally destroyed the general store and other buildings of Henry Lewry at Furnessville Wednesday morning of last week. The blaze was discovered about 7 o'clock. No one seems to know what caused the fire. The loss is said to be something like $5,000. This was one of the old landmarks of this part of the county.

Hawthorn's final training session at Waverley Park on Thursday September 25 before the Grand Final against the Sydney Swans on the following Saturday. Waverley (originally VFL Park) was a major venue for football between 1970 and 1999 intended to be the home of football owned by the VFL, which never eventuated with the stadium being secondary to the MCG, which the VFL/AFL never controlled.
The second venue for AFL moved to Docklands in 2000 and the former stadium at Waverley was redeveloped for housing later in the decade as it was surrounded by a large open area for car parking. The playing surface and part of the Sir Kenneth Luke Stand remain. The original plan would have seen this stand surround the whole arena with a capacity of nearly 160,000 spectators - something never completed. In reality it was only ever constructed to hold 78,000 spectators.
Johnburg.
The Hundred of Oladdie was proclaimed in 1876 and wheat growers started to move into this semi desert area soon after. Three years later in 1879 the town of Johnburg was surveyed with 144 town blocks. What optimism! Few blocks were ever sold and even fewer were ever built upon but nevertheless a small town did develop. Another further 30 kilometres northwards another town developed named Belton so perhaps the Johnburg farmers were less marginal than some. But this was a long way beyond Goyder’s Line. According to Goyder, and the government ignored him on this, these areas were not suitable for farming only pastoralism. Higher than average rainfalls in the late 1870s would not continue and Goyder was correct. Drought returned in the early 1880s yet the town developed and farmers attempted to grow crops here for another 20 to 30 years in association with some sheep grazing as well. Today Johnburg is very much a ghost town with only a handful of permanent residents and a couple of occasional weekend residents.
Johnburg was a government town and it was named after Captain John Jervois the son of the South Australian Governor. Even before the first town blocks were sold in 1879 a general store had opened at this junction of five roads. The Wesleyan Methodists moved into the town early and services were held from 1882, probably in the hotel. Their first church was built in 1889. Also in that year the impressive stone Johnburg Hotel was built ready to cash in on the travellers going further out to Belton and Brendleby settlements. The nearest town to Johnburg was Carrieton across the Oladdie Ranges. A Post Office and blacksmith opened in the town to complement the general store. A saddler also opened for business. The settlers needed a school for their children and a weatherboard temporary school was erected in 1891 with a teacher. Just a few years later enrolment was high enough to warrant a fine Gothic style stone school with attached residence for the headmaster. It opened in 1897 with the highest enrolment recorded in 1899 when 85 children attended this school. Amazingly it remained open as a school until 1967. Today it is a quite well maintained private residence with a lush green lawn. The public hall, a galvanised iron structure is still standing at the crossroads in the town but looks little used, if at all. Until recent decades it was used for all state and federal elections as a polling place. Almost next to it is the former stone Methodist Church. The first Methodist church was demolished mainly by white ants and then it replaced by this stone building in 1924. A local farmer Carl Hombsch donated the land and so fittingly his name is on the foundation stone and he along with four other local men became the trustees of the land and church. With the formation of the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977 this church closed and was sold as a private weekender residence. The Methodist Church in Johnburg also had a manse and that stands behind the old store and post office. It was sold in 1924 to the storekeeper to raise funds for the stone church. In that same year the storekeeper Robert Gibb built a new stone store in front of the old Methodist manse. The Gibb family were farmers around Johnburg for around 100 years and one branch or other of the Gibb family ran the Post Office, telephone office and general store from 1900 until it closed in 1966. A sign outside the former store says population of Johnburg two. It is probably more like seven. It is not clear when the hotel closed but it was certainly closed by 1948. Only the ghosts remain in this sadly crumbling and vandalised ruin today.

Breland and Janene Scott and their four children moved in to their rented home just five weeks ago, many boxes still unpacked when the storm hit on Saturday. Breland was at work, leaving Janene alone with their three daughters and three-year-old son home watching the heavy rain fall. They were laughing about the loud thunder claps when one of the girls called her mother over to the window. “Look, mommy, she said, it’s flooding outside.” She looked outside and, “Sure enough the water was up to the top of our porch, “ she said.
She immediately called her husband at work and he rushed home. By the time he got there the water was knee deep and they gathered up their kids, sent mother ahead to the car and Breland began to carry the kids out one by one. By the time he got the last one to their mother in the car, the water was chest deep on the street and he’s 6’ 4”. “We just had enough time to grab one bag of belongings,” Janene said. That included one very wet baby book, which now had even more emotional value. “We literally lost everything we owned, including the children’s school books (the bright and energetic daughters were being homeschooled by their mother, who had previously taught school at the high school and college level).
They headed for the Lipscomb University shelter operated by the American Red Cross and were the first family to arrive. “They said they just opened an hour before we arrived, but they were very kind and invited us to stay,” Janene said. “The Red Cross staff has been remarkable, gentling and respectful,” she said. We smelled bad, our clothes were all wet and we looked terrible. They got us some donated clean clothing and some of the university students even laundered our wet clothes and returned them to us fresh and clean. Everyone has been so thoughtful,” she said.
“All things considered, we are a lot better off at the shelter than we thought.” The Red Cross provided the family with their own space inside a racquetball court, where the kids can play, read and sleep, safe and secure. Volunteers like Laurie Drummond, a school counselor, have spent considerable time reading stories and playing with the Scott children, taking their minds off the great loss they have experienced. “They are great kids,” she said.
Names and ages of the Scott children: Jadzia, 9 (black tank top); Jasmine, 8 (Black “Yellow Ribbon” T-shirt); Jubilee, 6 (Yellow bunny shirt); and, Braedon, 3 (purple shirt)
