For the Oak Ridge Boys, It's Only Natural and It's Only at Cracker Barrel
September 19, 2011 For the Oak Ridge Boys, It's Only Natural and It's Only at Cracker Barrel New CD Released with Five New Songs and Seven Rerecorded Hits Including "Elvira" LEBANON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Oak Ridge Boys' latest CD, It's Only Natural, pays homage to their history while making some more history as it debuts exclusively at all Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations today. The CD features fresh cuts of their biggest hits and five new songs, including "Sacrifice …For Me" which was written by Joe Bonsall and is dedicated to America's fallen heroes. Newly inducted into the Grand Ole Opry®, these members of the Oak Ridge Boys came together in 1973. Richard Sterban, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden and Joe Bonsall began as gospel singers, became a top act in country music and then crossed over to pop with the monster hit "Elvira" in 1981. The song became their fourth No. 1 country hit, reached No. 5 on the pop charts, won the group a Grammy® award and went on to become one of only a handful of singles ever to go double platinum. In honor of "Elvira's" thirtieth anniversary, the group rerecorded the song, along with former Top Ten Billboard hits "Lucky Moon," "No Matter How High," "Gonna Take a Lot of River," "Beyond Those Years" and "True Heart" on It's Only Natural. New songs on the CD are "What'cha Gonna Do," "Wish You Could Have Been There," "Before I Die," "The Shade" and "Sacrifice…for Me." "We think it's pretty special to have The Oak Ridge Boys' thirtieth anniversary rerecording of ‘Elvira' on a CD in our exclusive music program," said Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager Julie Craig. -
ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums. -

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams.

Interview with Buz Waldmire in Springfield, Illinois
Buz Waldmire: Springfield, IL Transcribed by Nora Hickey TABLE OF CONTENTS Origins of Waldmire Road – Dad’s background – origins of Dad’s restaurants and food products (Crusty Curs, Cozy Dog, Chili-wich) – first Cozy Dog restaurant on 6th St. – presence of interstate in 1960’s – first customers/business in restaurant – South 6th St in general – area and restaurant during Buz’s young adulthood – travelers at the restaurant in ‘60’s – transition of restaurant ownership from Dad to Buz – Route 66 business – family involvement in R66 – Bob Waldmire (brother) – Bob in IL – Bob as artist – Bob and R66 – Bob and Hackberry, AZ – Bob as defining R66 persona. DAVID DUNAWAY I’m wondering how you came to live on Waldmire Road in Rochester? BUZ WALDMIRE Well, this dates back prior to the 911 system, and when there wasn’t a 911 system and there was an emergency the local ambulances or fire departments pretty much knew where everyone lived. When they went into a 911 system, and I don’t know what was involved with that, if they had to pass legislation or whatever, but they set it up they said well, where do these people live, how do we give them an address? And somebody says, I know let’s call the power company! So they called the electricity company, and they had specific records and street locations for every transformer that they hung throughout the county and in the area. It just so happened that my dad was really one of the first people out here, so when the power company came out and hung the transformer and put in the electric for the house way back in the woods, they identified it as Waldmire Road. -

MICHAEL WALLIS: My first summer in New Mexico, I didn’t have a car up there in Taos. I walked. Every other day I walked from the Wurlitzer Foundation to the post office, which was of course a big gathering place for everyone to get their mail. I carried a huge sycamore stick to literally beat dogs off of me. They finally learned. They were savage. I love animals, but these dogs were after my ass, and I just had to whack them a few times. Here I am again, an idealistic writer. -
Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet. -
