Hurricane Isaac brought gusts of winds ranging 100 to 115 mph winds if not more, and a lot of rain. I sustained very little damage. Only took down 2 of my trees and a lot of debris. Where I live in Bourg, Louisiana, there was hardly any damage that I could see. No flooding. However, many of us are still without power, and we have to boil our water.

Isaac Newton (1800-1867), a civil servant born in New Jersey, was the first United States Commissioner of Agriculture. When Congress established a National Department of Agriculture on May 15, 1862, Newton was the Superintendent of the Agricultural Division in the United States Patent Office. President Abraham Lincoln appointed him as the Commissioner of the newly enacted USDA. While Commissioner of Agriculture, Newton advocated daily weather reports to be telegraphed nationwide and this vision eventually became the United States Weather Service under the USDA.
As a youngster, Newton’s grandfather taught him farming practices and principles. Newton received little formal education, but he was a man of vision and entrepreneurial talent. As a young adult, he operated a dairy farm and shop in Philadelphia. He later farmed in Virginia, near Washington D.C., and marketed his products to the White House.
His reputation led to diverse experiences in horticulture, chemistry, entomology, and agricultural economics. Newton’s ventures even included an experimental farm in the National Mall near the Capitol, ironically where the USDA headquarters now stands.
Isaac Newton, a Quaker with a farm of his own in Pennsylvania.
Newton soon had a chemist, an entomologist, a statistician, and most important of all, the versatile Scottish-born botanist William Saunders, working beside him," wrote historian Allan Nevins. Newton himself inspired less admiration. "He was an ignorant, credulous old gentleman, quite rotund about the waistband, with snow-white hair and a mild blue eye," wrote Ben Perley Poore. Washington chronicler Margaret Leech wrote that “Newton was a stupid old fellow. ...But he was honest and kind, and he befriended Mrs. Lincoln, preventing, he told John Hay, ‘dreadful disclosures.’” Newton employed New Yorker Simeon Draper as his agent in threatening James Watt with imprisonment and reimbursing him with a bribe to key his confidences.
Newton was a spiritualist who became a friend of Mary Todd Lincoln and introduced her to some of Washington's other spiritualists. Two of them were hired in the Bureau of Agriculture at Mrs. Lincoln's request. According to historian Margaret Leech, he was so stupid "he once made requisition for two hydraulic rams, because he had been told they were the best sheep in Europe."
On the night President Lincoln was assassinated, it was Newton who brought word to the White House, according to doorkeeper Thomas Pendel: "Probably about twenty minutes before eleven o'clock, I stepped up to the door in answer to another ring at the bell. Who should be there but Isaac Newton, the Commissioner of Agriculture....I admitted him inside the door, and at once closed it. He was a bosom friend of President Lincoln. I was thoroughly acquainted with him, and I knew to whom I was talking. He said to me, 'They have shot the President. And the bullet', he said, 'has entered the left side of his head'. I immediately hurried upstairs, leaving him on the inside, and went to Captain Robert Lincoln's room."
Newton's Quaker connections were also important to the White House. It was Newton who served as the bearer of a message of support in 1863 from noted Quaker Eliza Gurney: "I feel inclined to give the assurance of my continued hearty sympathy in all thy heavy burdens and responsibilities and to express, not only my own earnest prayers, but I believe the prayers of many thousands whose hearts thou has gladdened by thy praiseworthy and successful effort 'to burst the bands of wickedness, and let the oppressed go free'..."

I first met Isaac Benitez in Panama in the early fifties, We both won prizes for our paintings at the Tivoli gallery and showed at the JWB galleries. We became friends meeting with other artists at the "Cafe Coca Cola" a well known hangout of artists, anarchists and other "riff-raff". Benitez took painting very seriously and went on to study art at college while I had to earn a living, not taking art as seriously as he did, we lost contact.. Sometimes later I found out that he won a scholarship to study art in Italy for a year, he left soon after /the last time I saw him/ vowing never to return. That was the last time I saw him. Upon my return to Panama, some twenty years later I found out that he was forced to return after three years in Italy, Even thou he became art professor and taught art at a college he suffered several nervous breakdowns spending his last years of his young life selling his "art" for food to eat. I understand that he lived in the same room he lived as a teenager in the slum of Chorrillo, depending on handouts and the support of his family. I was told that Isaac would return to Panama "over his dead body" and that he had to be put in a straight jacket by Italian Immigration officers for he was destitute and overstayed his visa, any way that is hearsay, but knowing him I would not doubt it . In a newspaper article send to me, /see enclosed/ his mother disputes it, saying only that he came back by his own volition. I am posting it to show that creating real art can be dangerous to your health and should come with a warning from the surgeon general to approach it with maturity. Of course one can always resort to do "fun art" which is quite harmless.
below a newspaper clipping and postage stamp honoring Panamenian artist Isaac Benitez. The article quotes his mother saying that he did not come back in a "straightjacket" but came back by his own volition and that he became mentally ill after his return. She does not dispute that he died penniless or that he lived in utter poverty.

Cherry Gardens.
This locality was named around 1838 by three local settlers (Isaac Jacobs, Henry Field and Edward Burgess) cutting Kangaroo Grass for their cattle on their properties back at Happy Valley. They saw dozens of native cherry trees (Exocarpos cupressiformis) growing here hence the name. White settlers moved into the area in 1840 a few years before the Hundred of Noarlunga was declared and land surveyed in 1846. The settlers got title to their land after 1846 when most purchased the land and moved into the district. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was erected in local stone in 1849 and is the oldest Methodist Church in SA still used for its original purpose. 120 people attended the opening in March 1849 and the church was designed to accommodate 150 people. The small cemetery surrounding it mainly has burials from the Broadbent, Donnell, Jacobs and Middleton families. The cemetery officially closed in 1882 but a pioneer of the Church Isaac Jacobs was the last burial there in 1894. By 1882 a new general Cherry Gardens cemetery had been created elsewhere in the district. The first trustees included Isaac Jacobs and Henry Field. The first minister was Reverend Nathaniel Bennett. The church is now a Uniting Church. The church is surrounded by a small cemetery of local settlers. The lych-gate is a recent addition being built in 2009. A pug and pine thatched school opened at Cherry Gardens in 1859 but was later demolished. The state government erected a school at Cherry Gardens in 1886. The school operated until 1970. The settlement has a Country Fire Service Station built in 1984, a Soldiers Memorial Park (1923) and a Memorial Hall which was opened in 1956.
The Cherry Gardens School was built just down the road from the Wesleyan Methodist Church and the nearby Rechabite Hall. A school under the control of the Central Education Board began in Cherry Gardens by 1856. It became a state school in 1876 after the passing of the Free Compulsory education Act of 1875. In 1886 the government built a stone school at Cherry Gardens. It was in use until closure in 1970 when children were bused to Clarendon.
Isaac Erwin Avery (December 20, 1828 – July 3, 1863) was a colonel in the Confederate States Army who perished at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. He is most remembered for a poignant blood-stained note that he wrote as he lay dying on the slopes of Cemetery Hill.
Avery was born at Swan Ponds in Burke County, North Carolina, the fourth son of Isaac Thomas and Harriet Erwin Avery, who in total had 16 children. Three of the brothers would be killed during the Civil War and another crippled for life.
"Ike" was the grandson of Waightstill Avery (1741-1821), a fiery American Revolutionary War hero who served as the first attorney general of North Carolina and who had once been challenged to a duel by Andrew Jackson. Isaac attended the University of North Carolina for one year in 1847, but left to manage a plantation for his father in Yancey County. He formed a partnership with Charles F. Fisher and Samuel McDowell Tate to act as contractors in the building of the Western North Carolina Railroad in the mid-1850s.
With his state's secession from the Union, Isaac returned to Burke County and, with his brother Alphonso, recruited Company E of the 6th North Carolina Regiment. As captain, Isaac commanded the company, which fought in the First Battle of Bull Run and the Battle of Seven Pines. In the summer of 1862, he was promoted to colonel. He was wounded at Gaines' Mill and was out of action until the fall. Following the reorganization of the army after the Battle of Fredericksburg, the 6th North Carolina was placed under the command of veteran Brig. Gen. Robert F. Hoke.
With Hoke's wounding at the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, Avery temporarily assumed command of the brigade in time for the Gettysburg Campaign. The 34-year-old Avery led his troops forward on July 1 on a wide sweep north and east of the borough of Gettysburg. Union artillery fire from a knoll near Culp's Hill finally halted his advance. On July 2, Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early ordered Avery and the brigade of Brig. Gen. Harry T. Hays to assault Cemetery Hill. Attacking in the early evening, Avery was struck in the neck by a musket ball and fell bleeding from his white horse. After the ill-fated charge, the partially paralyzed officer was discovered by several of his soldiers. His aide and former business partner, Maj. Samuel Tate of the 6th North Carolina, knelt by his side. Unable to speak from his mortal wound and with his right hand useless from the paralysis, Avery with his left hand scribbled a simple note for Tate: "Major, tell my father I died with my face to the enemy. I. E. Avery." He died the following day in a nearby field hospital. A servant, Elijah, carried Avery's body in a cart to Williamsport, Maryland, where it was initially buried.
Accolades were quick to come for the fallen Tar Heel colonel. The man who assumed the brigade command with Avery's demise, Col. Archibald C. Godwin, wrote in his official report, "Here I learned for the first time that our brigade commander (Col. Isaac E. Avery), had been mortally wounded. In his death the country lost one of her truest and bravest sons, and the army one of its most gallant and efficient officers."
General Early in his report wrote, "I had to regret the absence of the gallant Brigadier-General Hoke, who was severely wounded in the action of May 4, at Fredericksburg, and had not recovered, but his place was worthily filled by Colonel Avery, of the Sixth North Carolina Regiment, who fell, mortally wounded, while gallantly leading his brigade in the charge on Cemetery Hill, at Gettysburg, on the afternoon of July 2. In his death the Confederacy lost a good and brave soldier."
The Isaac E. Avery Chapter #282 of the Military Order of the Stars and Bars, a fraternal organization, is named in memory of the colonel.
Isaac lives across the street. He and Moby have an affinity for one another. The other day Moby was barking incessantly, but when I looked out the window, I didn't see anyone. At long last I realized that Isaac was at the front door. I let him in and they had a wonderful little play session before I took him home. His owner didn't realize that the back door was open.
