That responsibility includes ensuring ocean wildlife can safely swim Pacific Ocean waters without being killed in commercial fishing gear. We, the undersigned 24,494 residents of the United States (including 6,106 residents of California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington), urge you to prevent the authorization of pelagic longline fishing gear off the U.S. Pacific Coast. Use of this gear would lead to the entanglement and death of sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sea birds, sharks and many other important ocean species. Pelagic longlines used to catch swordfish, which can reach 60 miles in length and trail thousands of baited hooks, will inevitably ensnare and drown many other unsuspecting marine animals. Such a U.S. West Coast-based pelagic longline fishery, whether deep-set or shallow-set, has no place among the diversity of ocean life of the Northeast Pacific, particularly species already endangered with extinction. Pacific leatherback sea turtles, for example, migrate 6,000 miles from their nesting beaches to feed in the productive waters off the U.S.

Dr. Norman F. Bidder, archdi­ ocesan superintendent for Catholic schools, has established a mission statement establishing as the top priority teaching children to know and live the Gospel o f Jesus Christ through the Catholic faith. ’’The mission statement o f each school should strongly reflect the Catholic faith,” said Dr. Bidder, who was named sup>erintendent inApril. “Students also need the equipment and tools to be able to think — the fundamentals of reading, writing and math — and they must know how to behave,” he added. ‘ Our vision is to bring faith, hope and love to every child in the archdiocese — that’s a challenging agenda,” he stressed. ”We must PARJSHIONERS from St. Leander Church in Pueblo share sorrow after Mass last Sunday with Father Francis Kelly ‘Bud’ make ours the best schools in the Scheets, center, brother o f one o f the slain priests. untgriocRphau, country and, at the same time, make them very affordable.

    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME V 1900-1902 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2003 INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were four newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The Soldier Clipper, and the Whiting Journal continued in their respective cities. In Circleville, the Circleville News ceased publication on November 8, 1900, and was soon replaced by the Jackson County World, which began publication on December 7, 1900. In Hoyt, the Hoyt Sentinel began publication on April 12, 1902. In Denison, the Denison Herald began publication on September 25, 1902. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a.paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden. The index begins on page 893.

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.

So looking back what can we State Chaplain say? Are you better off at the end of this Fraternal Year than you were last Rev. Robert D. Fisher Fraternal Year? Or are you saying “I’m done” or maybe “I am the lame duck State Deputy who just coasts and will leave it for the next guy”. How easy is that to say and Roger G. Muller, Sr. “I did my share;” or “There is nothing to prove and nothing in it for us”. We State Secretary have a tendency to do that. If we do not see something tangible in it, we seem to coast and remain status quo or think the start of next Fraternal Year will be Charles K. Page better. Maybe our membership and program activities did not go the way we State Treasurer anticipated or maybe it did; but a glitch made everything seem for naught. We James D. Caffrey all have a tendency to be part of society’s “me’ generation and forget that we State Advocate are all volunteers who do what we can when we can. We forget that there will be times where the trials and tribulations of life get in the way and may lead to a mistake in judgment or John J. Doherty human error. Who hasn’t forgotten to turn in a form, missed a deadline or has just been too tired to go State Warden on at the time because it just was not a priority in our life.
