When I first plunged into the idea of home preserving lo those four weeks ago, I spent a few evenings poring over the Ball Complete Book of Canning (or whatever it's called). I have long thought that canning wasn't really the thing for me because we really don't eat any jam, jelly, preserves, pickles, or whatever. But flipping through all those recipes of multi-seasonal bounty, I suddenly saw a future of being the kind of person who actually does eat those sorts of things. So many of the recipes sounded so fun and fresh and newer, better life! The one that really grabbed me right off the bat, for reasons I can't even begin to comprehend, was pickled pears. And now I can say I've made them. It was a two-day process, so I feel all bad-ass and pear-pickly. And from what I could tell of the pears I sampled along the way, this is actually pretty delish. So... we'll see if we can become the kinds of people who eat pickled pears or not.

A view taken shortly before the opening of the Waitomo fuel pumps at the Tasman Fish & Cafe on SH1 in Foxton around mid afternoon on Friday, July 10th, almost seven years on since the closure of the Foxton BP pumps at this site on July 18th, 2008.
With the new Foxton fuel stop offering a price of $1.89.9 a litre for 91 octane, about 2 hours after opening, Foxton Mobil just up the road on SH1 and which has had the monopoly in Foxton since the closure of the BP pumps, dropped their price from $2.04.9 to $1.93.9 a litre of 91 octane, so guess that speaks volumes what has been going on.
The new Foxton Waitomo fuel outlet is a 24/7 self-serve 'Pay 'N Pump' operation with the slogan, “Kiwis fueling Kiwis.” A further four pumps are still yet to be installed and grand opening is planned for Friday, July 17th.
PETROL PUMPS OFF AS FOXTON BP WINDS UP
22/07/2008
Foxton shoppers who cherish their discount fuel vouchers will now have to travel at least 20km to cash them in.
On Friday [18 July 2008] the local BP petrol station officially switched off its pumps in preparation for shutting-up shop for good.
The closure is a blow to residents who buy their groceries at the local New World, which offers a discount at BP on its dockets.
Local New World owner-operator George Samson had not been warned the BP was closing, and said he was "shocked" by the news, and disappointed for his customers.
The discount vouchers were important to a lot of people, but now they would be worthless because people would have to travel to Levin or Palmerston North to use them, he said.
"Now my customers are going to say they're a waste of time, because I have to spend money to try and save money."
But he did not expect there to be any long-term effects on his business.
Jean and Stuart Marshall have owned the BP for 20 years and had about 10 employees, who were a mix of full and part-time.
While the pumps were off, the shop was remaining open until remaining stock was cleared, Mrs Marshall said yesterday.
She would not say why they had decided to close.
"I'd prefer not to make any comments."
Soaring fuel costs had made life hard though, she said.
"Petrol pricing is an issue that affects everybody, and margins are almost non-existent for independent operators. It makes it very difficult."
An armed robbery in May had played a role in the decision, but was not the deciding factor, she said.
"We've had several [robberies], and it's all part of the mix."
It was sad having to shut the doors. "Twenty-years of our life here, and we basically built it from a little garage."
They were yet to decide what they would do with the land, and she would not say what would happen to any remaining fuel or the tanks.
BP New Zealand spokeswoman Diana Stretch said they were in negotiations with the Marshalls about the issue.
Mobil Foxton owner Bob Wilkinson said tiny margins and a growing number of drive-offs meant it was a hard business to be now.
They had been marginally busier since the closure, but he was sad to see the competition closing.
"I'd rather see both of us thriving, but in the present climate it's very difficult to do that." - Manawatu Standard

Greenville is a city in Bond County, Illinois, United States, 51 miles (82 km) east of St. Louis. The population as of the 2010 census was 7,000. It is the county seat of Bond County.
Greenville is part of the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is also considered part of the Metro East region of Illinois.
Greenville celebrated its Bicentennial in 2015 as one of the oldest communities in Illinois. It is home to Greenville University, the Richard Bock Museum, the American Farm Heritage Museum, the Armed Forces Museum and the Demoulin Museum and a federal prison, Federal Correctional Institution, Greenville (FCI Greenville). It is also home to internationally known companies, including Nevco Scoreboard, the largest privately owned scoreboard company in the world, and DeMoulin Brothers, the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of band uniforms.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

Financial District, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
The small, elegant cast-iron-fronted mansarded building at 90-94 Maiden Lane is the only remaining example in the Financial District of the many Second Empire style commercial buildings constructed in downtown Manhattan during the post-Civil War era. the southernmost cast-iron building in Manhattan, it is one of the rare survivors of this type between Fulton Street and the Battery.
Long associated with the Roosevelt family (which had a store at 94 Maiden Lane by 1786), the present building incorporates a mercantile building erected for James Roosevelt around 1810. In 1870-71 Roosevelt & Son, then the nation's leading importer of plate glass and mirrors, expanded from 90-94 Maiden Lane into the adjoining buildings at 90-92 Maiden Lane and 9-11 Cedar Street; a new cast-iron facade with mansard roof was erected on the Maiden lane buildings, as well as a new brick and iron facade on Cedar Street.
These alterations are attributed to Charles Wright, a mid-19th century architect known for his cast-iron buildings, who was associated with the prominent iron founders Michael Grosz & Son. The building's iron elements were cast by the Architectural Ironworks of New York, one of the leading iron foundries in the country, whose head Daniel D. Badger was a major force in the development and promotion of architectural cast iron.
The Roosevelt Family and 90-94 Maiden Lane
In the 18th century, Maiden Lane, set in a small valley which formed a natural connection between Broadway and the waterfront, was lined with the houses and stores of prosperous merchants. Following the Revolutionary War John Roosevelt established a business at 94 Maiden Lane, leasing the property for at least a year before purchasing it from Pierre Van Cortlandt in 1786.
John's brother Nicholas became a partner in the firm in 1787, but the brothers were soon in financial difficulties. In 1792, John Roosevelt was forced to sell his store and house to his second cousin Isaac Roosevelt.
The wealthiest of the 18th-century Roosevelts, Isaac immediately turned the store over to John and Nicholas's brother James J. Roosevelt. James opened a hardware business on the site which evolved into the family firm of Roosevelt & Son. His business quickly became a large-scale operation supplying imported hardware, mostly Dutch, to a burgeoning building trade.
By 1797 James was able to purchase 94 Maiden Lane from the heirs of Isaac Roosevelt and in 1809-10 he replaced the building on the site with a new store. To accommodate the widening of Maiden Lane in 1822-23, a portion of the store building was taken down and a new Greek Revival style facade was erected .
The 18th-century dwelling and stable erected by Abraham Duryea on the adjacent lot at 90-92 Maiden Lane were replaced by a brick and granite commercial building in 1827-28 which was later sold to James and John F. Trippe, dealers in medicines, paints, and oils.
The Trippes held the property until 1862 when it was repossessed by members of the Duryea family, who then leased the building to a plate-glass merchant.
Two buildings at 9 and 11 Cedar Street, immediately behind 90-92 and 94 Maiden Lane, were erected soon after the street was opened in 1828. Part of a group of eight buildings on Pearl and Cedar Streets erected for Otis Loomer as a speculative investment, they were leased to a variety of merchants over the years.
Throughout the early 19th century James Roosevelt's business continued to prosper, dealing in imported hardware and introducing a line of imported window glass and mirrors. Eventually, under the direction of James's son, Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt, who had joined the firm in 1819, it became the country's leading importer of British and French plate glass, crystal plate glass, and mirrors.
The considerable profits produced by the firm allowed C.V.S. Roosevelt to invest heavily in real estate following the Panic of 1837. Between 1842 and 1845 C.V.S. Roosevelt doubled his already comfortable fortune and by 1868 he could count himself among the Astors, Rhinelanders and Lorillartis as one of New York's ten wealthiest landowners.
Two of his sons, James Alfred and Theodore (father of the future president), joined the firm in the 1850s, and two others, Silas Weir and Robert Barnwell, became attorneys, establishing offices at 94 Maiden lane. Conditions at 94 Maiden lane had become sufficiently cramped to warrant leasing space at 7 and 9 Cedar Street, which by 1857 were connected to 94 Maiden Lane by narrow passages.
A decision was made to expand again in 1869 and James A. Roosevelt purchased 90-92 Maiden lane and 9 and 11 Cedar Streets.
In April 1870 plans were filed to join the buildings, alter them internally, and erect a new iron front with mansard roof on Maiden lane and a new brick facade with an iron storefront on Cedar Street.
Designed in the then fashionable Second Empire style, the Maiden lane facade featured corner pavilions framed by rusticated piers, arched window surrounds set off by half-columns and a roof covered with fishscale slates pierced by segmental pedimented dormers.
The Department of Building's Alterations Docket for 1870 lists Michael Grosz & Son, an iron foundry, as responsible for these alterations, but they are attributed to Charles Wright, an architect who was associated with the firm.
Charles Wright
A Long Island resident, Charles Wright was listed as an architect in the New York City directories between 1867 and 1878. In every year except 1873, his office address was given as 45 Greene Street, the location of the Grosz foundry; the termination of his practice in New York coincided with the closing of the foundry following the deaths of Michael and Frederick Grosz in 1878.
Wright's work in Manhattan included a number of tenements on the Lower East Side, stables in Greenwich Village (8 MacDougal Alley of 1871 and 134-36 West 10th Street of 1874), rowhouses in Mid town, and mercantile buildings in the old dry goods districts now known as Tribeca, SoHo, and Ladies' Mile.
His commercial works included a number of cast-iron buildings, among them 913 Broadway (1872, altered) for Peter Goelet, 13 East 19th Street (1874, demolished) for Robert Goelet, 34 Greene Street (1873) for Julius Leopold, and the Grosvenor Building, 385 Broadway (1875) for Matilda Grosvenor and Charlotte Goodridge.
The surviving buildings are all handsome Second Empire structures which like 90-94 Maiden lane feature flattened segmental arches supported by engaged columns. In several the treatment of ornament is also similar to that of 90-94 Maiden lane. No. 34 Greene Street, for example, also employs diamond-point rustication, spandrel panels decorated with paterae, unfluted columns, and paneled piers decorated with a pattern similar to that used on the frieze beneath the mansard at 90-94 Maiden lane.
In addition to this stylistic evidence, which strengthens the attribution of 90-94 Maiden Lane to Wright, it should be noted that he is known to have worked for the Roosevelts on at least two occasions: first in 1869 when he designed a one-story addition to the C.V.S. Roosevelt house at Broadway and 14 th Street and again in 1873 when he planned an alteration at 90-94 Maiden Lane that replaced wood supports in the mansard with iron girders. Michael Grosz & Son was listed as the builder for that alteration.
Michael Grosz & Son
Michael Grosz was first listed in the New York City directories in 1837 as a smith with a business at 8 Watts Street. By 1840 he had moved his business and residence to 45 Greene Street. Through the 1840s and early ' 50s he continued to be listed in the directories as a blacksmith or whitesmith. He began manufacturing iron railings, vault lights, and rolling shutters at some point in the 1850s and was listed as a dealer in iron railings in the directory of 1856.
His son, Frederick H. Grosz, established his own foundry at 45 Greene in 1856 and began manufacturing railings and vault lights. Father and son were listed separately in the directories until 1865 when they formed Michael Grosz & Son.
By that time Michael had begun manufacturing architectural ironwork and had conducted an extensive business with the government during the Civil War years. In the post-war period, under the direction of Michael Grosz and Frederick Grosz, who began taking over increasing responsibility from his father, the "firm built many of the iron buildings erected by the Goelets, Roosevelts and Astors."
According to Frederick Grosz's obituary in the New York Tribune their projects included Steinway Hall at 109 East 14th Street (1866, demolished) and the "Broadway store of Lord & Taylor" (presumably the cast-iron fronted building at Broadway and 20th Street designed by James H. Giles in 1869). The firm also specialized in the manufacture of bank vaults, including those of the Union Trust Company, the Bank of North America, and Chemical Bank.
In the 1870s Michael Grosz & Son also occasionally supplied architectural designs to clients. In addition to the alterations at 90-94 Maiden lane the firm is listed in the Building Department docket books as architect for a pair of iron warehouses at Thomas and Hudson Streets (1870-71, demolished), a four-story tenement at 64 Frankfort Street (1872, demolished), and a building for the Orthopaedic Dispensary and Hospital at 126 East 59th Street (1872-73, demolished).
Presumably these commissions were awarded to the firm because it maintained an architectural staff, who in addition to designing architectural elements such as columns and cornices for the foundry's stock, would also have been available to plan entire facades or buildings for clients who did not want to go to the expense of hiring their own architect.
Such an arrangement is known to have existed at the Architectural Ironworks, where the English architect George H. Johnson and Horace Badger were employed as designers.
As Charles Wright was the only architect listed in business directories of the period as working at 45 Greene Street, it can be deduced that he served in a similar capacity at Michael Grosz & Son and that some sort of agreement had been worked out that also allowed him to have private clients—hence the listings in his name in the Building Department records.
The Architectural Ironworks of New York
In addition to their business arrangements with Charles Wright, the Groszes apparently established a connection with Daniel Badger's Architectural Ironworks of New York, a leading innovator in the field of cast iron. Badger was a former blacksmith from Woburn, Massachusetts, who erected a cast-iron storefront in Boston in 1842, which he claimed was the first structure of iron ever seen in America. In 1843, he bought a patent from A.L. Johnson for rolling iron shutters, used to make windows burglar-proof.
The combination of iron storefront and shutters which came to be known as "Badger fronts" was highly successful. In 1846, Badger opened his business in New York, where his first major commission was for the storefronts of the A.T. Stewart Store at Broadway and Chambers Street.
It was not until the 1850s that Badger began to fabricate full cast-iron fronts.
His foundry was incorporated as the Architectural Ironworks in 1856. In 1865 he published a catalogue of the foundry's works, which listed hundreds of storefronts and over thirty full cast-iron fronts. These were shipped all over the United States and to several foreign countries.
Three extant buildings, 48-50 Walker Street (illustrated as plate XV, no. 7 in the catalogue), 93 Reade Street of 1857 (an almost exact copy of a building on Broadway illustrated as plate XV, no. 8), and 74 Reade Street (listed on page 32), have vault lights marked with the F.H. Grosz foundry plate suggesting that a long-standing relationship existed between the firms.
The Architectural Ironworks was also involved with 90-94 Maiden Lane, since its foundry plate is displayed on a rusticated pier on the Maiden Lane facade; however the exact nature of its role in relation to the Grosz foundry is unknown.
It seems possible that the Grosz firm may have elected to fabricate part of the ironwork for the building but sub-contracted part of the work (perhaps the larger pieces which would have been difficult to cast in the limited confines of 45 Greene Street) to the Architectural Ironworks which had extensive facilities at its 14th Street factory.
Alternatively Michael Grosz & Son may have acted primarily as designers, perhaps supplying wooden patterns from which the castings were made and overseeing construction, but leaving the actual casting up to the Architectural Ironworks.
Nos. 90-94 Maiden Lane, then, is an important late work of the Architectural Ironworks, a firm which must be regarded as one of the leading forces in the development and manufacture of architectural cast iron in this country during the 19th century.
Cast-iron Architecture and the Second Empire Style in lower Manhattan
Although never as numerous as in the mercantile districts now known as Tribeca and SoHo, at least thirty-eight cast-iron-fronted buildings were located in the downtown area of Manhattan from Fulton Street to the Battery by the mid-1880s.
The majority of these were located on Broadway, Fulton Street, and in the area around Wall and Pearl Streets. On Maiden Lane near Broadway, where the jewelry trade was concentrated, there were iron-fronted buildings at 5-7, 9-11, and 25 Maiden Lane. Further down the street, almost opposite 90-94 Maiden Lane, a cast-iron building had been erected by 1868 for Charles Pfizer & Company, manufacturers of chemicals and drugs.
Around the corner at William and Cedar Streets, Griffith Thomas's cast-iron-fronted Kemp Building was erected in 1870-71. Also in the surrounding area were the New York Real Estate Exchange at 59-65 Liberty Street, the Union Building at William and Pine Streets, and the Seaman's Bank Building at Pearl and Wall Streets, all with cast-iron fronts. Many of these buildings were erected in the post-Civil War era as earlier Greek Revival style counting houses in downtown Manhattan were replaced with more specialized structures.
The post-war buildings, whether cast-iron or masonry, usually incorporated elevators and employed the most up-to-date building techniques which made possible the construction of taller buildings than previously possible.
The majority were designed in the then fashionable Second Empire style, characterized by its use of French Renaissance style ornament and mansard roofs. The most notable of these new buildings was Arthur Gilman and Edward Kendall's masonry Equitable Building at Broadway and Cedar Streets (1868-72), which many scholars regard as the first skyscraper. Other masonry Second Empire style buildings included Griffith Thomas's Continental Life
Insurance Building of 1862-63 at 100-102 Broadway and National Park Bank of 1866-68 at 214-16 Broadway, Alfred B. Mullett's Courthouse and Post Office of 1869-80 at city Hall Park, and Henry Fembach's Staats-Zeitung Building of 1870-73 on Tryon Row.
Like 90-94 Maiden Lane, a number of other buildings were modernized during this period, including the Mutual Life Insurance Building at Nassau and Cedar Streets and the Bank of New York at Wall and William Streets, both of which had mansards added during the 1870s.
Today none of the above-mentioned buildings except 90-94 Maiden lane survive and only seven cast-iron fronted buildings remain standing in lower Manhattan between Fulton Street and the Battery.
These include: 63 Nassau Street, an 1830s building given a new cast-iron front around 1860, apparently by the cast-iron pioneer James Bogardus; the Italianate style Germania Building of 1865 at 151 Broadway; 90-94 Maiden Lane, remodeled in 1870-71; Arthur Gilman's Bennett Building at Nassau and Fulton Streets of 1872-73; 114-116 Fulton Street of c. 1880-85; James Farnsworth's 102-104 Fulton Street of 1895-96; and Francis Kimball's remodeling of 20 John Street of 1909, the latter two combining cast iron and pressed metal elements.
Of these, 90-94 Maiden Lane is the southernmost cast-iron-fronted building in Manhattan and due to the fact that the Bennett Building lost its original mansard when it was raised from six to ten stories in 1888, it is the only remaining mansarded Second Empire style business building in the Financial District.
Thus 90-94 Maiden lane is not only an elegant building but also a rare survivor of a once prolific type which flourished in the Financial District in the post-Civil War era.
Description
Four early 19th-century buildings were joined to form the present building at 90-94 Maiden lane, a four-story structure on a slightly irregular through-the-block lot which has a frontage of fifty-nine feet on Maiden Lane and forty-four feet on Cedar Street. On Maiden Lane the building is faced with cast iron and crowned by a mansard roof. Rusticated corner pavilions frame five central bays which are divided by unfluted engaged columns. Cornices set off the individual stories.
The first story is trabeated, the central bays on the second and third stories are crowned by flat arches, while the pavilions contain a trio of arches resting on slender pilasters. The column capitals and spandrels are decorated with paterae, modillions and stylized brackets enrich the first story cornice, there is a dentil course on the second story cornice, and console brackets and a paneled frieze are found above the third story.
The arrangement of windows and doors on the first story has been changed several times over the years. The wood and glass entrance is only a few months old, the window treatment of the center bays dates from about 1910, the window and transoms in the eastern end bay were installed in the 1920s; however, the paneled iron bulkhead beneath appears to be original to the facade and reflects the original tripartite arrangement of the window bays which is that of the upper stories.
A foundry plate labeled "Architectural Ironworks of N.Y." is clearly visible on the pier separating the eastern pavilion from the center bays. Though obscured by paint, there appear to be similar plates on the piers flanking the western entrance bay.
The second and third stories retain their original wood frames and double-hung wood one-over-one sash. The mansard is now covered with seamed sheet metal, instead of the original fishscale slates, and the dormers, now with triangular pediments, contain new windows, both the result of a 1960s alteration.
On Cedar Street the building has four full stories topped by a flat roof. The facade is faced with red brick (now painted) above a cast-iron storefront and is divided into six bays. On the ground story the bays are separated by iron piers which are articulated as pilasters with paterae on their capitals similar to those used to decorate the capitals and spandrels on the Maiden Lane facade.
The piers support a simple entablature with a projecting cornice. The openings between the piers has been sealed with brick infill. There is a modern metal and glass door in the first bay (from left to right) and a pair of steel doors surmounted by a wood transom bar in the fifth bay.
The upper stories originally had segmental arched windows with stone sills; all but the window openings in the first bay have brick infill. The remaining windows are wood-framed two-over-two double-hung sash. The facade is crowned by a corbeled brick cornice with projecting comer brackets.
Subsequent History
In the 1870s as the market for imported plate glass was contracting due to increased domestic production, the Roosevelts decided to leave the glass business. Reportedly the firm's last major commission was to supply plate glass to Chicago builders following the Great Fire.
In 1876, Roosevelt & Son moved from Maiden Lane, settling temporarily at 216 Pearl Street, before establishing itself permanently at 32 Pine Street. Led by James Alfred Roosevelt, who took control following the death of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., in 1878, the firm turned to investment banking specializing in the underwriting of railroad and communication company bonds—notably the Great Northern Railroad and Atlantic and All American Cable Companies.
It is unclear how 90-94 Maiden Lane was used during the last quarter of the 19th century, though it remained in Roosevelt hands. In 1910 the building underwent a number of interior and storefront alterations to accommodate a new tenant, Sussfeld & Lorch & Co., importers of optical goods who moved there from a neighboring building on Maiden Lane.
In 1919 the Fire Company's Corporation, owner of the adjacent building at 80 Maiden Lane, purchased 90-94 Maiden Lane to prevent any future obstruction of the windows on the east side of its building. The buildings remain in common ownership today.

A few days ago, I was just sitting and reflecting on a few things..I started writing and this is what I came up with:
"I Used To Be Important"
I used to be important, never thought I'd be a flash in the pan
But I don't get paid for thinking, so here is where I stand
Abandoned, alone...no longer worthy of a special ringtone
This was something that I'd thought I have and now that some thing's gone
My mind's blown
This newfound existence is so bland
Especially considering I had the spice of life right here in my hands
And although I can not say that I truly understand
I do try to respect the move, as part of being a man
They say without a struggle, there will be no progress
Yeah, I guess
Alls I know is that my thought process is a mess
So, yeah it's a struggle..between my desire and common sense
She hit me with that fire and I ain't been common since
I used to be atop of everything, on top of the list
Nowadays, I have to wonder if I even exist
It's the pits...
Sometimes I wanna holler and throw up both my hands in a fit
But that ain't gon' change a thang so I pour up and I sit
Then I sip
On something straight with a proof no lower than ninety
I'm off in another world, where not a soul can find me
To consequently remind me, of how I haven't been treated kindly
Perhaps I need to keep moving forward and put those memories behind me
Maybe not two-day, but one day you will see
That the most important thing on your docket should have been me.
A view of one of the new 24/7 self-serve Pay 'N Pump fuel pumps at the new Waitomo facility located at the Tasman Fish & Cafe on SH1 in Foxton that was the site of Foxton BP until it closed its pumps on Friday, July 18th, 2008, and has since seen Foxton Mobil, about a kilometre up SH1 from the Tasman Fish & Cafe, having the Foxton fuel sales monoply for almost 7 years until the opening of the Waitomo fuel stop on the afternoon of Friday, July 10th.
With a price of $1.89.9 a litre for 91 octane, the Waitomo opening saw Foxton Mobil drop its price from $2.04.9 to $1.93.9 for a litre of 91 only a couple of hours afterwards, and which bought a healthy return of competition for Foxton motorists after nearly 7 years.
Apparently too these are the most southern Waitomo fuel pumps in NZ at the moment and there are plans to install a further four more at the Foxton site.
PETROL PUMPS OFF AS FOXTON BP WINDS UP
22/07/2008
Foxton shoppers who cherish their discount fuel vouchers will now have to travel at least 20km to cash them in.
On Friday [18 July 2008] the local BP petrol station officially switched off its pumps in preparation for shutting-up shop for good.
The closure is a blow to residents who buy their groceries at the local New World, which offers a discount at BP on its dockets.
Local New World owner-operator George Samson had not been warned the BP was closing, and said he was "shocked" by the news, and disappointed for his customers.
The discount vouchers were important to a lot of people, but now they would be worthless because people would have to travel to Levin or Palmerston North to use them, he said.
"Now my customers are going to say they're a waste of time, because I have to spend money to try and save money."
But he did not expect there to be any long-term effects on his business.
Jean and Stuart Marshall have owned the BP for 20 years and had about 10 employees, who were a mix of full and part-time.
While the pumps were off, the shop was remaining open until remaining stock was cleared, Mrs Marshall said yesterday.
She would not say why they had decided to close.
"I'd prefer not to make any comments."
Soaring fuel costs had made life hard though, she said.
"Petrol pricing is an issue that affects everybody, and margins are almost non-existent for independent operators. It makes it very difficult."
An armed robbery in May had played a role in the decision, but was not the deciding factor, she said.
"We've had several [robberies], and it's all part of the mix."
It was sad having to shut the doors. "Twenty-years of our life here, and we basically built it from a little garage."
They were yet to decide what they would do with the land, and she would not say what would happen to any remaining fuel or the tanks.
BP New Zealand spokeswoman Diana Stretch said they were in negotiations with the Marshalls about the issue.
Mobil Foxton owner Bob Wilkinson said tiny margins and a growing number of drive-offs meant it was a hard business to be now.
They had been marginally busier since the closure, but he was sad to see the competition closing.
"I'd rather see both of us thriving, but in the present climate it's very difficult to do that." - Manawatu Standard

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

"Barrett-Jackson delivered many magical experiences for everyone who joined us in Scottsdale," said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. "From the excitement of the auction block to the thrill rides, exhibits, STEM Fest and live music, there was truly something that everyone in the family could enjoy. We filled our docket with so much diversity that collectors from every walk of life found something they loved. We stay on top of the trends and consign the vehicles that people want, proving once again that the car collector hobby is thriving. Those trends include the growing popularity of Resto-Mods, SUVs and trucks, which are gaining momentum because they appeal to such a broad cross section of people. I’m especially proud of our support for important charities again this year. We not only raised millions of dollars but also critical awareness that will help make a positive impact on so many communities."

Accident occurred Monday, December 26, 2005 in Seattle, WA
Probable Cause Approval Date: 8/29/2006
Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas MD-83, registration: N979AS
Injuries: 142 Uninjured.
The captain said that the airplane arrived late into Seattle, from its previous flight, and the new flight crew was waiting at the gate. After the airplane was chocked and the engines were shut down, the first officer immediately performed his preflight inspection. A ground baggage handler, who was driving a tug towing a train of baggage carts, said that he approached the airplane from aft to forward, but had to maneuver around another train of carts to get close to the belt loader. After loading the carts with baggage, he attempted to drive away. He stated, "I was hoping to make it out, but I felt my tug going against something. I immediately set my foot on the brakes and glanced at the body [in moderate rain] of the aircraft to see if there was any damage. It was a quick glance and I did not see any damage." He did not report the incident to anyone. The pilot said that the takeoff was normal. During the climb out, at approximately 26,000 feet, they heard a loud bang, and the cabin depressurized. He said that they put their oxygen masks on, and coordinated a descent to a lower altitude with Seattle Center. An uneventful landing was performed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Seattle, Washington. Post landing examination of the fuselage revealed a 12 by 6 inch hole between the middle and forward cargo doors on the right side of the airplane. After the occurrence, the ground baggage handler confessed that he had "grazed the airplane" with a tug, while attempting to depart the vicinity of the airplane.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The ground personnel baggage handler failed to maintain clearance from the aircraft with cargo handling equipment during ground operations and inadvertently damaged the airplane's pressure bulkhead which subsequently decompressed during climb to cruise.

Accident occurred Thursday, March 04, 1999 in KANSAS CITY, MO
Probable Cause Approval Date: 01/10/2001
Aircraft: Douglas DC-9-15F, registration: N195US
Injuries: 2 Uninjured.
The airplane was cleared to land on runway 19R at the Kansas City International Airport. The first officer said that the airplane was on speed and on course for the visual approach. 'The captain had just called the 1,000 feet [above the ground] call when a flock of snow geese suddenly illuminated in our lights, engulfing us from below, flying into us. No birds hit the windshields, but it was immediately apparent they had flown into the engines.' The captain said that he had the airplane, advanced the power on both engines, and ordered the first officer to reset the flaps to 30 degrees, the single- engine flap position. 'The number one engine continued to compressor stall. The number two engine went to a sub-idle run condition.' The captain reduced the power on the number one engine 'enough to lessen the surge/stall condition to a rate of once every two seconds, which allowed just enough thrust to maintain the approach and to lower the vibration. The number one engine continued to compressor stall/surge to touchdown.' The touchdown was normal. Examination of the airplane revealed bird remains and substantial damage to both engines. No other anomalies were found.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
ingestion of birds into both engines, resulting in foreign object damage and the subsequent partial power loss to both engines. A factor relating to this accident was the dark night.
NTSB Factual Report
HISTORY OF FLIGHT
On July 23, 2003, about 0852 Hawaiian standard time, a Bell 206B, N37741, descended into steep downsloping terrain in the inside crater wall of the Waialeale Crater, Kauai, Hawaii. The helicopter was owned and operated by Jack Harter Helicopters, Inc., Lihue, Hawaii. The commercial certificated pilot and the four fare-paying passengers were fatally injured, and the helicopter was destroyed. A company visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan was filed and opened with the operator. Visual meteorological flight conditions (VMC) prevailed during the initial portion of the flight. Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) existed in the vicinity of the accident site. The on-demand air taxi (commercial air tour) flight was performed under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 135 and originated from the Lihue Airport (LIH) in Kauai about 0803.
The pilot's wife indicated to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator that the day and evening preceding the accident flight had been normal. Her husband was rested upon departing for work. The operator's general manager reported that the pilot arrived at work approximately 0630, performed a preflight inspection of the accident helicopter, and departed for his first Part 135 charter flight. The flight lasted about 20 minutes, and by 0745 the pilot landed back at LIH. Thereafter, the helicopter was refueled with 39 gallons of fuel.
Four fare-paying passengers boarded the helicopter, and they departed in VMC pursuant to company procedures for the planned 60 to 65-minute-long sightseeing tour flight over Kauai. No Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facility reported hearing any radio transmissions from the pilot following his departure from LIH.
The operator reported that the pilot was authorized to vary the route of flight according to the weather and lighting conditions he might encounter. Tour flights typically travel over the Nawiliwili Harbor and then follow the Huleia River Valley to the west. The flights then proceed to the Hanapepe Valley, the Olokele Canyon, and the Waimea Canyon. After departing the Waimea Canyon, flights continue to the west and then traverse the Puu Ka Pele Forest Reserve to reach Na Pali, which is generally traversed from the southwest to the northeast. Most flights make a 360-degree turn in the vicinity of Ke'e Beach and then continue to Lumahai Beach where the flights head inland to Mt. Namolokama. The flights then follow the Hanalei River to the ridge that separates the Hanalei and Wailua drainages and cross the ridge and travel to the "North Wall" of Mt. Waialeale. Flights that occur during "normal" weather conditions usually enter the Waialeale Crater and fly below the orographic cloud layer into and out of the valley. Flights that occur in this area when the sky is clear often fly to the summit of Mt. Waialeale using a variety of paths. Many tour flights do not enter the Waialeale Crater. Tours then return to LIH via Wailua Falls.
A review of recorded radar data indicates that until the accident occurred, the pilot's route of flight was consistent with the aforementioned tour route. After departing LIH the pilot began a clockwise flight route around the island. The last radio transmission made by the accident pilot, which was heard by another of Jack Harter's tour pilots, indicated the accident pilot was in the vicinity of the Waialeale Crater. Jack Harter's pilot reported that the accident pilot made a position report of "741, north wall for the top." The transmission was made on a nonrecorded air-to-air aircraft radio frequency. According to Jack Harter's general manager, the pilot's statement indicated that he anticipated flying to the top of the Waialeale Crater.
A further review of recorded radar data for the accident time period indicates the presence of one aircraft in the crater. The Safety Board investigator's review of the radar data indicates that this aircraft's flight course was consistent with that of the accident helicopter. In pertinent part, at 0850, the helicopter had climbed from 3,700 to 4,600 feet, as indicated by its Mode C transponder. At 0851:57, the helicopter had climbed to 5,000 feet, which was the highest altitude recorded during the accident flight. Thereafter, the helicopter descended. The last radar hit was at 0852:11, at which time the helicopter had descended to 4,600 feet.
The operator reported the helicopter overdue when it failed to return to LIH. The FAA and local tour operators were notified of its overdue status, and a search commenced. The wreckage was found a few hundred feet (lateral distance) from its last recorded radar position.
PERSONNEL INFORMATION
Employment.
According to the general manager of Jack Harter Helicopters, Inc., the pilot was hired on August 9, 1995. Previously, the pilot had served 15 years in the U. S. Navy as a helicopter pilot. Jack Harter Helicopters is based on Kauai, and that is where the pilot resided and performed thousands of flights. The pilot was Jack Harter's Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR 71) designated instructor pilot.
The pilot had satisfactorily completed an FAA administrated "Airman Competency/Proficiency" check flight in the accident helicopter on April 3, 2003, and he was accordingly permitted to perform on-demand air taxi flights under FAR Part 135. In pertinent part, on the check flight form the FAA indicated that the pilot was limited to flying under Part 135 to daytime VFR conditions.
Certification and Currency.
The pilot held a commercial pilot certificate, with rotorcraft-helicopter and instrument helicopter ratings. The FAA reported that he had no previous accident or enforcement history.
The operator indicated that of the pilot's 13,684 total hours of flight time, 13,567 hours were flown in rotorcraft, and 8,674 hours were flown in Bell 206B helicopters. The pilot's combined actual and simulated instrument experience was 780 hours. During the preceding 90 days, 30 days, and 24-hours, the pilot had flown 292, 81, and 6.7 hours, respectively.
According to the "Flight and Duty Record" provided by the operator, the pilot's flight and duty times for the 11 days preceding the accident indicated he was off duty and did not fly on July 12 or 13. He flew a total of 27.4 hours from July 14 to 18. He did not work or fly on July 19 or 20. He flew a total of 11.5 hours from July 21 to 22. His duty hours during these periods never began earlier than 0715, nor ended later than 1800.
Pilot Professionalism.
Company management and fellow company tour pilots knew the accident pilot's competency and professionalism. The following remark was made by a coworker: "I...knew him to be a very safe and professional pilot. He wasn't one to take chances...."
HELICOPTER INFORMATION
The helicopter, serial number 1695, was manufactured in 1975, and was equipped with an Allison (Rolls-Royce) 250-C20B engine.
The helicopter was maintained on a program of FAA required 100-hour and annual inspections. In addition, the helicopter was maintained with additional required inspections following the Bell Helicopter Maintenance Manual, Revision 2, dated June 7, 2002. These inspections were performed at 300, 600 and 1200-hour intervals.
The last annual inspection was accomplished on June 3, 2003, at a total airframe time of 18,036.1 hours. The last 100-hour inspection was performed on July 8, 2003, at a total airframe time of 18,131.1 hours, and a Hobbs meter time of 5,099.6 hours. The Hobbs meter in the accident helicopter was observed at 5,138.7 hours.
At the time of the accident, the helicopter had flown about 39.1 hours since its last 100-hour inspection. The helicopter's total airframe time in service and engine time was about 18,170.2 and 17,345.4 hours, respectively.
The helicopter was not equipped with either a gyroscopic directional heading indicator, or an artificial horizon. There was no FAA requirement for either installation in this helicopter, which was not certified for flight into IMC.
The FAA participants' "Maintenance Report" did not indicate that any discrepancies were found during its review of the helicopter's maintenance records. Required inspections had been accomplished.
The last pilot to fly the helicopter prior to the accident reported that, on July 18, 2003, he flew it for 6.8 hours. The pilot reported to the Safety Board investigator that the helicopter "performed normally at all times and there were no discrepancies noted." The most recent maintenance record found in the accident helicopter was dated July 18, 2003, and was signed by the aforementioned pilot. No discrepancies or corrective actions were listed on the maintenance form bearing number 1319, which was a sequentially issued number imprinted on the document.
The operator reported that the accident helicopter was equipped with an aural engine-out warning system horn. According to Bell Helicopters Technical Bulletin No. 206-82-71, Rev. A, dated 11/10/1982, the horn does not function until N1 decreases to 55 percent.
METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION
The closest aviation weather observation station to the accident site is located at LIH, elevation 153 feet mean sea level (msl). The airport is about 10.2 nautical miles (nm) east-southeast (113 degrees, magnetic) of the accident site. In part, at 0853, LIH reported its surface wind was from 060 degrees at 10 knots, 10 miles visibility, scattered clouds at 2,500 feet, temperature 27 degrees Celsius, dew point 21 degrees Celsius, and altimeter setting 30.04 inches of mercury.
Meteorological Report.
A Safety Board's meteorologist reviewed the weather conditions pertinent to the accident flight. The weather conditions were compared with the helicopter's flight track, as recorded by radar. The Safety Board's Meteorological Factual Report, included with this docket, indicates the following:
1. A northeasterly low-level airflow with partly cloudy skies existed over Kauai, and the visible satellite imagery showed that clouds were present to the northeast, east, and southeast of the accident site in the crater; and
2. Progressive satellite images, in conjunction with the helicopter's radar track, show that as the helicopter's proximity to the accident site decreased, the band of clouds encroached the crater from the east.
Videotape and Witness Statements.
Videotape images of the weather conditions were recovered from a passenger's camera on board the accident helicopter. The videotape shows clouds in the vicinity of the accident site.
Several helicopter tour pilots who flew in or near the Waialeale Crater accident site area within a few minutes of the accident reported the presence of a few clouds in the area.
About 1/2 hour after the accident another helicopter pilot arrived in the vicinity of the crater. This pilot reported having heard the accident pilot broadcast his intention of flying to the top of the crater. This pilot recalled that he too, would "go for the top" if the weather permitted upon his arrival in the area. However, according to this pilot, he was unable to fly to the top of the crater because approaching the area he observed that it was "clouded over."
Rescue personnel reported that by 1215, lowering ceilings and inclement weather conditions precluded flight operations over the accident site.
COMMUNICATION
According to the FAA, no communications with the accident helicopter pilot were recorded after departure from LIH. All communications with the pilot were normal.
FLIGHT RECORDERS
The helicopter was not equipped with either a cockpit voice recorder or a flight data recorder. There is no FAA requirement for either recorder to have been installed.
WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATION
The accident site is located about 0.8 nm north of the highest point on Kauai, elevation 5,243 feet msl. Based upon an aerial examination of the accident scene, a ground swath was noted on steep, downsloping vegetation-covered terrain, on the northwestern inside Waialeale Crater wall. The elevation at the top of the wall, above the wreckage, is about 5,100 feet msl.
The approximate distance and magnetic bearing from the last recorded radar position to the initial point of impact (IPI) is 300 feet and 120 degrees. The approximate distance between the IPI and the main wreckage is 400 feet and 130 degrees. The approximate global positioning system (GPS) coordinates for the IPI area is 22 degrees 04.300 minutes north latitude by 159 degrees 29.783 minutes west longitude.
As indicated by statements from on-scene aircraft recovery personnel, the initial point of impact occurred below the top of the wall, and it was noted by the presence of a straight downward oriented swath in the native vegetation. The swath was a couple of feet wide. The elevation at the top of the swath was estimated at 4,700 feet msl.
The next lower elevation ground swath observed was about 4,600 feet msl. In this area evidence of fuselage fragmentation was noted. One of the components that was found near the elevation was the pitot tube. Other separated components and interior cabin items were found near and below the pitot tube, and consisted of a door, headset, rotor blade tip, and a skid. The upper portion of this area was about 6 feet wide and 4 inches deep. The area increased in width to about 15 feet wide toward the lower portion of the area.
The fuselage was found below this area, about 4,450 feet msl. The instrument panel was found near the fuselage. The instrument panel mounted clock was observed stopped at 0852:33. A main rotor blade was found below the fuselage in a ravine.
Recovery personnel described smelling a strong odor of fuel in the wreckage area and noted a 3-foot circle of fuel surrounding the fuselage. There was no evidence of fire.
MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The FAA issued the pilot a second-class aviation medical certificate on August 14, 2002, with the restriction that he "shall wear glasses that correct for near vision."
The operator and family members reported that the pilot appeared in excellent health. He did not have any known physical disabilities.
The FAA's Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory, Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI), performed toxicology tests on specimens from the pilot. No evidence was found of carbon monoxide, cyanide, ethanol, or any screened drugs.
An autopsy on the pilot was performed by the Medical Examiner, County of Kauai, at the Wilcox Memorial Hospital, 3420 Kuhio Highway, Lihue, Hawaii 96766.
Safety Board personnel's review of the pilot's medical records provided by his family noted an emergency room visit for heart palpitations approximately 1 1/2 years prior to the accident. A cardiovascular evaluation performed for the FAA concluded that the palpitations were due to a normal variant heart rhythm, and the pilot was issued a medical certificate. The records also indicated a history of kidney stones, which had not been evaluated. Autopsy findings did not indicate any evidence of cardiovascular abnormalities or kidney stones.
SURVIVAL ASPECTS
The operator's tour flight departure log indicates that the accident helicopter departed LIH at 0802. The operator's general manager reported that the flight was due to return to LIH by its "scheduled" time of 0907.
According to the operator's "Flight Locating Procedures" in its Operations Manual, in the event that an aircraft does not return at its scheduled time, the following actions will, in pertinent part, be taken: Thirty minutes after scheduled return, notify the Lihue Air Traffic Control Tower; and sixty minutes after scheduled return, notify the Honolulu Flight Standards District Office (FSDO).
The operator's office manager reported that she initially notified the Honolulu FSDO between 0920 and 0925. According to the LIH "Facility Accident/Incident Notification Record," LIH received notification of the overdue aircraft at 0943.
The Kauai County Fire Department's "Incident Report" indicates that it received notification from dispatch of the overdue helicopter at 1049. The wreckage was located at 1159.
About 1215, four fatal
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate terrain clearance/altitude while descending over mountainous terrain, and his continued flight into adverse weather. Factors contributing to the accident were clouds and a low ceiling.

Arizona Cardinals game vs. the St. Luis Rams. Final score 34 - 10 Cardinals. Confirming the NFC West Championship.
DARREN URBAN writes:
Finally, 1998 has been equaled. 1975 has been matched. Soon, 1947 will be as well.
The Cardinals won the NFC West Sunday by whipping the St. Louis Rams, 34-10, the franchise’s first playoff berth in a decade and their first division crown in more than 30 years. It also secured the Cards at least one home playoff game since the team won the NFL title in Chicago 61 years ago.
“You’re not always promised to play on good teams,” said safety Adrian Wilson, the longest-tenured Cardinal after arriving in 2002. “This is a blessing. This is obviously the best team we have had.
“It’s a lot you can think back on. … Emotionally, I am just everywhere right now.”
Most of the Cards were everywhere after it was over, with coach Ken Whisenhunt getting a Gatorade bath from his players and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett holding up a towel with a homemade message that proclaimed the team “NFC West Champs.”
The season still has three games left before the playoffs, but Sunday evening was about the accomplishment.
“One way or another, we’ve all been through some hard times,” said guard Reggie Wells, who has been a Card since 2003.
The Cardinals (8-5) scored touchdowns on their first two drives, creating a 14-0 lead that gave Arizona control from the start. The Cards did a little running (63 yards on 22 carries), but once again leaned on the right arm of quarterback Kurt Warner and a defense that needed to rebound after a terrible game in Philadelphia.
The unit scored two touchdowns on turnovers, including a franchise record-tying 99-yard interception return by rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The other came when Dockett scooped up the ball and rumbled 11 yards to the end zone.
Warner completed, throwing a touchdown pass in his 21st straight game (to Larry Fitzgerald) and finding Steve Breaston often (seven catches for 90 yards).
The only hint of life the Rams (2-11) got came after the Cards had built the 14-0 lead. Warner, flushed from the pocket, floated a bad pass into traffic that was intercepted by cornerback Ron Bartell. Bartell returned it to the Arizona 6-yard line, setting up the Rams’ lone touchdown.
From there, however, it was clear the Cardinals weren’t going to be denied again their long-awaited division championship.
Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin had 62 yards on five receptions to surpass the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the fourth time in his career, but the Cards milked the clock often in the second half instead of pushing toward big offensive numbers.
“That was kind of the approach of the second half, play a little more conservative and don’t give them anything easy,” Warner said.
Statistically the Cardinals didn’t dominate – at the end of the game, the Cards had only outgained the Rams, 335-308, and had a little more than a minute edge in time of possession – but it was obvious the Rams weren’t coming back.
Rodgers-Cromartie ended the only serious touchdown threat with the pick he used his world-class speed to run length of the field. And Docket noted the multiple dropped passes the Rams had on their final drive despite being open most times.
“You could tell they didn’t want to play,” Dockett said.
The Cards do have a lot to play for, now that there will be Cardinals’ postseason football in Arizona for the first time.
“What is special about this is where we have come from since I have been here,” Warner said. “What this organization was when I got here and the perception of it and the work we had to do until now, it’s sweet. This is just the beginning, but where we are at, it’s a special accomplishment.”
Rhode Island Sound Band
Fleet Week, a celebration dedicated to US Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps, takes place in NYC annually since 1984. There’s the demonstration of today’s maritime services’ capabilities. Navy music band concerts and self-defense perform in Times Square. Royal Canadian Navy vessels are arriving in the New York Harbor to participate in the 2019 Fleet Week.
Battle ship tour in Manhattan was at Pier 86. Today, Coast Guard is under Homeland Security Department and they have police force that is difference from the military force that don’t have. One of the functions for Royal Canadian Navy vessels is sweeping mines. Navy Yard Patrol craft are used for training and for research purposes. LPD21 USS New York Amphibious Transport Docket is also called a “landing platform, dock” (LDP). A total of seven and a half tons of steel from the World Trade Center were recovered and melted down and cast to become the ship's stem bar.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.
