The Sinking of Japanese Submarine I-45
The following comments were made by Mr. Roy E. Graham, July 10, 1997. Mr. Graham was a crew member of the USS Whitehurst at the time of the sinking of the large Japanese submarine, I-45:
Roy Graham 2004
Roy Graham WT 3/c
We were escorting a convoy out of Leyte Gulf. That is, the Eversole, Bull, and Whitehurst. I believe we had assumed the starboard flank position and as I recall the Eversole might have been at the point position. At 3:30 general quarters was sounded and we heard on the speaker that the Eversole had been torpedoed. The Whitehurst and Bull made way to the Eversole and we transferred medical supplies at the site of the Eversole sinking. We proceeded to chase the submarine and used hedgehogs rather than depth charges as our method of attack. The hedgehog method was one in which we would come up from behind the submarine and shoot off 12 to 24 hedgehogs in a pattern from the bow of the ship. If a hedgehog made contact with the submarine then all the hedgehogs would explode. If no contact was made the hedgehogs would remain undetonated so as not to disturb our ships sonar gear in searching out the submarine. After several runs at the submarine we reported at 12:00 - 12:30 seeing wooden repair plugs bobbing to the surface. This was the type of cone shaped wooden repair plug to insert in a hole in the submarine to stop water leakage. We put a whale boat over the side to see if we could recover any of the items from the submarine. We also saw books and other papers floating to the surface but these quickly returned to deep below the surface of the water and was out of reach. We also saw much oil in the water too. I walked to the stern of the ship about this time and also saw other debris floating in the water that I presume was from the submarine. I would have to say it was doubtful that anyone survived from the submarine. The hedgehogs must have exploded when making contact with the submarine that was deeply submerged. No survivors from the submarine were ever found.
The large I-45 sunk by Whitehurst was a "Cruiser Submarine".
It was externally same as I-24 pictured above, but
had a hardened steel hull and simplified Diesel engines.

Excerpt from p.437, "United States Destroyer Operations in World War II"
by Theodore Roscoe. U. S. Naval Institute, 1953
Contributed by Roger Ekman, Capt. U.S.N. Ret., who served on Whitehurst
Shortly after Eversole went down, destroyer escort Whitehurst received over the TBS word from destroyer escort Bull, that their sister DE had been torpedoed and sunk. Whitehurst was operating at the time with Task Unit 77.7.1, which had the mission of feeding fuel and ammunition supplies to units of the Seventh Fleet supporting the Leyte landings. After relaying the word on Eversole, destroyer escort Bull requested a DE to act as A/S screen while she rescued survivors. Whitehurst was thereupon dispatched to the scene of the sinking. Her skipper, Lt J. C. Horton, U.S.N.R. took the ship through a search pattern around the area. The search had almost completed when the Whitehurst picked up a sonar contact at 0545. Ten minutes later she reached firing position and let fly with a full hedgehog salvo. Results were negative. At 0608, 0634, and 0648, she delivered hedgehog attacks. Eleven seconds after the fourth salvo splashed into the sea, a series of explosions echoed up from below. The rataplan ended in a thunderous detonation which ebbed away with a prolonged rumble. The undersea blasting was violent enough to knock out Whitehurst's pinging gear.
Thereupon Bull was asked to continue the search. After fruitless efforts to gain contact, Bull's skipper reported over TBS, "From the sound of the explosions where I was, three miles away, I don't think there is anything left of the sub.
His implication was correct. However, the destroyer-men, making a daylight search of the area, discovered some submarine residue. splintered teak, a wooden damage control plug, chunks of painted wood and what not. After the war these items were attributed to the submarine I-45, the sub which probably sank Eversole.
Whitehurst had lost no time in tracking down and exterminating the Japanese killer.

The following, paraphrased, information was supplied by:
Louis "Lew" Cowden, Machinist Mate 2nd Class in 1944
Louis Cowden MM2/c, and more recently
The Ship's Carpenter worked with a mate named Connelly to make the
souvenir pieces from the scraps recovered at the site of the sinking.
We did not all get one. The Carpenter" Mate probably did the work for the
officers and others did their own. Bob Zobal got pieces of the Teak Wood from
the sub. He did his own finishing work after he got home.
Note: Neal Mielke got in touch, after his father died, to offer the pictures of the souvenirs and

The exchange started on Saturday evening January 12 th , when the bus with the Dutch students came to our school. We were all so excited to meet our new friends, some of us had even made banners! And then, the fun started. On our day off – we went bowling, played lasergames, walked around the city, went skiing. We had, and I think I speak for all of us, an awesome time. We spent a big part of the day outside, in smaller or bigger groups, having fun, talking, and getting to know one another.
The Dutch students also experienced a few Czech classes, and they went alpine skiing too. On Tuesday social evening, we learned some stuff about the Netherlands, and had a lot of fun. Dutch karaoke was terrible, because of our singing in Dutch, but it was so funny. We also danced, played quizzes, ate Czech snack, etc. Afterwards, we enjoyed our last night together. And Wednesday morning – it was just full of emotions. We were all sad, but on the other hand happy, that we had the opportunity to be part of this exchange. We shared our experiences, impressions, funny stories. And then, it was time to say goodbye. See you soon in Amersfoort!

Abstract Canvas Prints : Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel
By Nigel Cloutman
Abstract Canvas Prints : Michelangelo
Some say that when Virginia Woolf wrote, 'On or about December 1910 human character changed' in her famous 1923 essay Mr Bennett and Mrs Brown, she was referring to Roger Fry's 1910 exhibition.
Life had certainly changed for him. He mounted the Grafton Galleries show shortly after being sacked as a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, having fallen out with the then chairman, financier John Pierpont Morgan (as in J. P. Morgan), who had been responsible for hiring Fry in the first place.
Up until then their professional relationship had been mutually beneficial.
Fry's eye and Morgan's money worked in harmony.
It was during this period that Fry discovered the avant-garde art scene in Paris. It changed him and his view of art.
He ceased his curatorial work on past art movements and instead focused his efforts on the present.
In 1909 he published his Essay in Aesthetics, in which he described Post-Impressionism as 'the discovery of the visual language of the imagination'.
Now, in the great scheme of things, that statement makes absolutely no sense, seeing that most of the art produced prior to the arrival of the Impressionists was make-believe.
Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel
What is Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling if not the 'visual language of the imagination'?
But in the context of an artistic movement that had developed out of the Impressionists' strict adherence to objectivity and everyday life, it does add up.
In their own way, each of the four Post-Impressionists (Fry had also included Matisse and Picasso in his 1910 show but they came to be filed – at least for a while – under Fauvism and Cubism respectively) discovered a potent artistic concoction when mixing core Impressionist principles with 'the visual language of the imagination'.

Textron Aviation Supports Giving the Basics
For many people, being able to afford and have access to essentials, such as shampoo and toothpaste, is not an issue. For others, however, it is a constant struggle. To help combat this problem, Textron Aviation works with Giving the Basics in Wichita, KS to provide those in the community with everyday essential products many take for granted every day.
Based in Kansas City, Kansas, Giving the Basics is a nonprofit organization that provides basic hygiene and cleaning products to those who cannot afford or easily access them. When founder Teresa Hamilton found out hygiene products were not covered by government assistance, she began to collect items like toilet paper, deodorant and more in her garage to distribute to those she knew needed them most. Teresa later turned her idea into a nonprofit organization, and since Giving the Basic's founding in 2011, the group has been able to provide products for hundreds of thousands of people in Kansas.
In 2019, Giving the Basics expanded to Wichita under the direction of Erin Kalkbrenner and Megan Kice. Since its opening one year ago, the branch has been able to help 111 schools and 25 different organizations like the Salvation Army and domestic violence shelters.
Textron Aviation is among one of the many large businesses that assists Giving the Basics in their fundraising efforts in Wichita. Last year, Textron Aviation hosted a Dignity Drive, in which the company's branch in Wichita collected nearly 11,000 hygiene products over the course of one week. As part of this event, over 40 interns also volunteered for their time, completing tasks like sorting, boxing, and preparing the thousands of products they helped collect.
Rachel Douglass, community and employee engagement manager at Textron Aviation, said that partnering with and assisting Giving the Basics in their collection efforts was a no brainer as the organization perfectly aligns with the company's corporate giving strategy.
"Textron Aviation's corporate giving strategy is focused around three pillars: education, quality of life and human services," Rachel said. Giving the Basics fulfills the third pillar by providing hygienic products not covered by government assistance programs to those who cannot afford them, allowing people to improve their health and gain more confidence in public situations.
More than anything else, Erin hopes that Giving the Basics will make people more aware of the fact that there are thousands of people across the country who need these products but cannot afford them. "No matter who they are or their status, people should have these products available to them. Everyone should be able to wash themselves or brush their teeth. This is not just a Kansas specific issue," Erin said.
Textron Aviation is proud of the partnership with Giving the Basics and plans on continuing to help and assist the organization in whatever way they can.

Q: YeSQL: Which key needs a value? I was following basic YeSQL tutorial and copied code from here and I have error:

    at clojure.main.main(main.java:37)

I was looking for solution and came up with this but I don't see which key need value. Is there some better way how I can debug or it is clear from this message where the problem is? I am trying simple select in db. Here is my code:
(ns aplikacija.core (require [yesql.core :refer [defqueries]]))

(def db-spec {:classname "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
              :subprotocol "oracle:thin"
              :subname "address:port/db"
              :user "xxx"
              :password "xxx"})

(defqueries "sql/query.sql"
            {:connection db-spec})

(defn -main [& args]
  (println (posAll {:id 10})))

And query is
-- name: posAll
SELECT *
FROM pos
WHERE POS_ID = :id

A: The IllegalArgumentException is thrown by clojure.java.jdbc when it tries to internally construct a map with the actual JDBC options as a map. It should be able to use the options map as-is, so there is definitely something amiss.
A simple example why the Exception is thrown:
(PersistentHashMap/create '({:A 42}))
IllegalArgumentException No value supplied for key: {:A 42} ...
(PersistentHashMap/create '({:A 42} "foo"))
=> {{:A 42} "foo"}

I tried running your example as given, although replacing the DB with Postgresql, and it worked fine. However, I noticed that the clojure.java.jdbc and yesql versions are very prone for mismatches. For example, replacing yesql with 0.5.2 in the deps below caused build time failures.
Nonetheless, taking the latest versions did seem to work for me. These were at the time of writing:
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"]
                 [yesql "0.5.3"]
                 [org.clojure/java.jdbc "0.7.8"]
                 [org.postgresql/postgresql "42.2.4"]]

Note also that 1) yesql is not actively maintained at the moment (Frozen. Maintainer sought.), and 2) Oracle is not listed as supported DB for org.clojure/java.jdbc.

Caverns of Doom was the October 2016 challenge for the Deviant Universe over on DeviantArt. The scenario was to have your character fall in to the Earth's core during an earthquake and rescue people or fight the dinosaur men who lived down there (who were trying to take over the world, as you do).
I had a great time doing this, and it was completed in a few days. This was done long after I completed the current run on HOTWAB (Issue 3 at time of writing) and I hope it shows how much my skills have developed since then, and what future strips of HOTWAB will hopefully look like.


If you can't remember — or if you never have — it's time to pull out your planner.
In the past few weeks, I've attended not one, but two conferences for 9 Clouds: Digital Summit in Seattle and Now What? here in Sioux Falls. On the one hand, I'm a little exhausted. On the other, I'm incredibly refreshed.
While I'm riding this high, let me tell you why professional conferences (still) matter — and how to find the right one for you.
Conferences have gotten a bad rap lately.
Now that we've got this handy little thing called the Internet, where you can learn anything at the click of a cursor (or the utterance of an "Alexa"), it's easy to dismiss in-person events like conferences as unnecessary or expensive.
But — get this — there are things the Internet can't teach you.
Like how it feels to step foot in a new city, creative inspiration dripping from every silver skyscraper. Or what it's like to surround yourself with hundreds of other professionals in your industry, all of whom are eager to share — and soak in — new knowledge.
At 9 Clouds, each team member gets to attend at least one conference per year (with the approval of our CEO). It's part of our employee benefits.
I've been with 9 Clouds for more than three years now, and let me tell you, that annual conference is like a glittering beacon of hope at the end of a dark, dark tunnel.
But really, we all need to be rejuvenated in our jobs once in a while. Attending an annual conference (especially one in a different city) is like a double espresso at 3 p.m. — a tasty jolt of energy to get you through the rest of the day.
Here are my three main reasons to attend a professional conference at least once a year.
But while you'll surely come away with pages of helpful tidbits for your company, conferences offer more than just tactical knowledge.
Every year, my biggest conference takeaway isn't something I can stick in a bulleted list or even summarize very well. It's more of a general impression — a motivation to view my job in a new light.
To craft stories, not stats. To care more about my clients and the customers I'm trying to reach. To view them all as real people, with real problems and real desires.
You can't learn that from a blog post.
One of the main factors I consider when researching conferences is how fun the event looks. If the website is boring — even if it's hosted by a reputable company — I move on.
No, seriously. If your conference isn't enjoyable, you're at the wrong one.
I'm not just saying that because I appreciate an open bar, either. Studies show that when learning is fun, you actually learn more.
3. You'll come back annoyingly inspired.
Since I've returned from those conferences I mentioned, I haven't been able to shut up about the takeaways I learned. I'm pretty sure my coworkers have all been rolling their eyes behind my back.
But I don't care! Passion is contagious, and I can't keep mine in.
Hopefully, the ideas I'm sharing are helpful for my team. I, for one, love hearing about my colleagues' conference experiences. Their stories always motivate me to try new things myself.
When one of us gets inspired, we all do.
Notice that in that list, I didn't mention things like tactics, vendors, or networking.
Sure, you'll get to experience all those things at a conference. But that's just it — you'll experience them at every conference.
So when you're researching conferences, don't worry about the sponsors or other attendees (unless you have a very specific networking need).
Here are three things you should consider when choosing a conference.
One of the main reasons I chose to attend Marketing United in 2017 was because of the conference host, Emma, an email marketing platform whose content I'd been following for some time.
Since I was already a fan of Emma, I knew the company would put on a fantastic event. The conference website also promised lots of inspiring sessions, cool swag, and fun after-parties — the perfect bait for a millennial like me.
And it worked! Since I knew what to expect, Emma's conference did not disappoint. Marketing United had me hook, line, and sinker.
Before you settle on a conference, become familiar with the business associated with it. The conference host tells you a lot about the type of event you'll get.
Make sure to thoroughly review both the specific conference website and the company's entire online presence to get a good feel for the content — and vibe — the business is going for.
If you don't love it, move on.
Don't underestimate the geographical location of the event.
Yes, you'll be inside the conference hall all day, but what happens after 5 p.m.?
Unless you have other pressing work to attend to — and hopefully you don't, because you should be devoting the bulk of your attention to the conference — you're going to have some free time before and after the event. So enjoy it!
If you can, try to pick a conference in a place you've never been, or at least one you already know you love.
If you're hoping to hone a specific skill set, the conference agenda will be the most important factor in making your decision.
The agenda is where you'll find the descriptions, durations, and speakers of each session.
It's obvious why the descriptions and speakers (especially the keynote ones!) are important — but pay attention to how long each session lasts, too.
Digital Summit, for example, was mostly comprised of 30-minute sessions, while Now What? offered four 3.5-hour-long workshops over two days. Both formats were worthwhile, but they resulted in entirely different experiences.
Whenever a 9 Clouds employee attends a conference, we try to disseminate the info both to our team and to our community.
We do this in the form of conference recap blog posts (like this one on Facebook's 2018 Auto Retail Summit, which Matt attended in Austin) — but we try to infuse what we've learned in all our content.
To stay up to date with our conference shenanigans and the latest marketing news, be sure to subscribe to our blog. And if you have any conference recommendations for us, definitely let us know!

Cornell thought leaders discussed the balance between public health and economic health, and the role government plays in finding a path forward from COVID-19 during an April 30 webinar, "Can Economic, Political and Public Health Realities Align? Emerging on the other side of COVID-19."
Panel: Coordination is key to a world beyond COVID-19
By Kate Blackwood
Leaders at every level of government – national, local, even university – face difficult decisions as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"As this pandemic rolls on, we feel like we are in the middle of a teeter totter with health risks on one end and economic fallout on the other," said Linda Barrington, associate dean for external relations at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, moderating an April 30 webinar, "Can Economic, Political and Public Health Realities Align? Emerging on the other side of COVID-19."
A trio of Cornell thought leaders from economics, government and public health discussed the balance between public health and economic health, and the role government plays in finding a path forward during this worldwide crisis.
Nearly 1,700 viewers tuned in to the webinar, part of a special COVID-19 series, a collaboration of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, the ILR School and eCornell.
From the College of Arts and Sciences, Sarah Kreps, professor of government, gave insights into public policy and Kaushik Basu, the C. Marks Professor of International Studies in the Department of Economics, provided economic and international perspective. From Weill Cornell Medicine, Lawrence Casalino, the Livingston Farrand Professor of Public Health, grounded in medical facts the discussion of when and how to open the economy and society.
Casalino believes that opening has serious dangers until herd immunity is reached, "when 80% to 90% of people have had the virus or are vaccinated," he said. "Without herd immunity, the virus will spread when we open up."
At the time of the webinar, there were 3.1 million COVID-19 cases confirmed worldwide and 230,000 deaths. The United States reported more than 1 million confirmed cases and more than 61,000 deaths; U.S. deaths surpassed 75,000 on May 7. Far from reaching herd immunity, the United States offers sub-optimal testing for the virus, Casalino said, and effective contact tracing in such a "large, diverse and mobile" community poses a challenge.
Basu, joining the conversation from Mumbai, India, agreed that lockdowns limiting several categories – including schools, transportation, gatherings and freedom of movement – were necessary to slow the spread of the virus at first.
"My worry now is the exit policy from this," he said. "You have to make space for the economy to function."
Basu noted that $16 billion of foreign investment left India in March this year, which is the largest recorded outflow from the country in a single month. He suggested mitigating economic damage, and the eventual resulting deaths, by "unwinding" lockdowns one careful step at a time. A first step in India and elsewhere could be opening transportation with limits to maintain social distancing but allowing workers to return to their jobs.
Unwinding social and economic restrictions are acts of public policy, and public policy is about trade-offs, Kreps said. She cautioned against seeing a path out of restrictions as a stark choice between valuing human life and valuing the economy.
To implement an approach of "risk mitigation rather than risk elimination," she said, better coordination is need at all levels of government. In the United States, in particular, political bickering and jurisdictional boundaries limit coordination since states have a lot of autonomy to regulate everything from commerce to schools. This can lead to regulatory differences across states.
The panelists agreed that increased coordination is necessary on many fronts if the world is to emerge from the pandemic. They also agreed that industry will likely see great change on the other side of this pandemic, particularly in the health care sector.
Basu predicted tremendous growth in the health care sector with the potential to reach more people. Casalino said he expects increased acquisition of medical practice by hospitals, private equity firms and insurance companies, and of hospitals by other hospitals.
In a similar vein, Kreps, a faculty fellow in the Milstein Program in Technology and Humanity, predicted increased automation across industries. "It was already happening," she said, "but I think that will accelerate now."
Past episodes in the webinar series, which brings scholars together from across Cornell's colleges and disciplines to inform and prepare people to counter the pandemic, are available on the eCornell keynotes page. The next installment, "Contagion, Persuasion, Motivation: Private and Public Behavior in the COVID-19 Crisis," is scheduled for May 8.

Stafford Sebastien "Star" Lestrade dies
(January 23, 1920 – March 25, 2013)
Credit Union pioneer, World War II veteran, political activist and accountant Star Lestrade of Goodwill will be buried on Friday April 5, 2013 following funeral rites at the Pentecostal Church in Goodwill.
This outspoken and strongly passionate Dominican died at his home in Goodwill aged 93 years on Monday March 25 about 7:30am after spending just over a week at the Princess Margaret Hospital.
The SUN met with some of his children to glean out something about this formidable individual, some might think, restless individual who came to the sunset of his life.
Star Lestrade's first child, Swinburne, a former Director of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and internationally reputed economist reflects thus:
"Well, I suppose there are a couple of words I could use to describe Star Lestrade: Frankly, growing up as a boy, as a teenager, the word "order" comes to me mind. O R D E R. Daddy always emphasized the importance of maintaining good order, keeping things in order, and be tidy; and don't forget he was in the army of course, he did active duty in the Middle East, I think, so that I think he carried that military style, that military personality into the way that he ran his home, the way that he brought up his children and so on.
"Another word one could use was passionate. Daddy was passionate about everything that he did. He had very strong views. He wasn't shy to express them. Frankly, he was quite fearless, quite courageous. Of course that got him into trouble with a lot of people. It didn't make him very popular. I mean, the fact that he served in all political parties in Dominica, I think, makes the point. I suppose you could say he didn't suffer fools gladly. When he had issues with persons he would not hesitate to let them know how he felt, and how he felt about them. And I guess the issues that they stood for. So that he was constantly searching for a political home, if you like, within which he could be comfortable.
"He loved cricket. He was passionate about cricket. He played in the first division league in Dominica. I think his best bowling performance actually was 7 for 64. I found out in recent years that he still kept the ball actually that he used in that innings in that bowling spell. He kept that home. Actually, I have it now with me at my home. So he was a guy who was searching. He was passionate. He was quite an activist.
He got quite frustrated, I think, in his later years. I think he got quite frustrated at the fact, that, as far as he was concerned, he was not sufficiently officially recognised, and he didn't enjoy National Day, the late October early November period. I think that every time that time came around he felt a bit of frustration at the fact that he thought he wasn't recognised by the country. And I think those frustrations were evident".
One of Star Lestrade's daughters, Lorraine, adds:
"What I remember most about Daddy, when we were growing up and still in school: whenever we would hear a bad pronunciation on the radio, he would promptly turn the volume down, and ask us what was wrong with what we just heard? And he would give us the correct pronunciation.
"And something else I remembered about him, when we were a lot younger and we would go to parties with our friends, if we were not invited, and our friends were invited, and asked us to come along, when he found that out, Josette and myself, he told us: Never go to a party you are not invited to. You could be treated like a dog, and it would be your fault. I never mopped another party after that".
Stafford Sebastien 'Star' Lestrade shared the birth date of two outstanding Caribbean personalities, Nobel Laureates Sir Arthur Lewis, Economic Sciences 1979 and Derek Walcott, Literature, 1992 of January 23. Star was born on January 23, 1920 at La Plaine. He attended the La Plaine Government School, and before he could find his professional role in life the Second World War erupted in Europe. Star Lestrade like youth across the British colonies enlisted and went to St Lucia for training of Windward Islands recruits. From there he was dispatched to Egypt and the Middle East where he saw active service along with other Dominicans like the late John Chambers.
Stafford Lestrade survived and returned to Dominica after the end of the War in 1945 and married Dorothy Lawrence (deceased in August 2000) of La Plaine on Boxing Day, 1946. The couple lived and worked in Roseau from thereon before moving into their own home in Goodwill in 1955. At the time, Star's home was only the third above the Federation Drive Round-about. By then he was a trained accountant having pursued his profession via correspondence course.
Star Lestrade was the father of Swinburne, Surrel, Carlos, Wharton (deceased 2012), Beryl, Nancy, Ulric, Lorraine, Josette, Jefferson, Haynes, Danella, Syeed, Vernon and Indira. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
Stafford Lestrade lived life to the full. He was one of the pioneering members of Credit Union movement in Dominica and a founding member of the Roseau Cooperative Credit Union. He was the one who drove Sister Alicia all over the country in his old buggy car.
He was one of Dominica's first credit union delegates at the regional level. He was the first president of the Roseau credit union and the first president of the St Alphonsus credit union, and there again he was not recognised by the movement as others have been.
His favourite pastime activities were gardening, politics and reading. He loved sports and was passionate about cricket, which he played in the division I league.
He was the mayor of Roseau for six years around the 1960s. He founded his own political party called Peasants and Workers Movement, and was later identified with the Dominica Freedom Party until he fell out with leader of the Freedom Party Dame Eugenia Charles (dec'd), then the Dominica Labour Party (he would edit the DLP's newspaper, Educator in the 1980s) and after that the United Workers Party.
Star Lestrade also contested the Federal Government elections in Dominica in the 1950s but lost out to former Premier Edward Oliver Leblanc and Phyllis Shand Allfrey.
Oh, he was a powerful platform speaker who spoke with fire and conviction, and he was that good he could be described as a rabble rouser some might say "Joe Lumiere" especially in those days when Prime Minister Patrick John seemed to have lost his way. As Dominicans prepared to stand up to two pieces of perceived punitive legislation of Labour governments in the 1970s, Lestrade's oratory reached new heights with his "Blood ahoy!" from the political platform.
Oh, he was fearless and a no nonsense sort of person. He also found himself commenting on cricket, and descriptions like "this one crept like a zandoli" to a bowled ball keeping low, is the stuff of legend.
He was also editor of the Dominica Herald newspaper. He penned a column in the Herald under the pseudonym "VonVon" (buzzing black bumble bee).
He was once a strong member of the Catholic Church and part of the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship, but like so many of his pursuits, his ego maybe, got in the way and he would leave in a blaze and go on to become a member of the Pentecostal faith.
That was Star Lestrade. He would go to his office in Roseau up to the turn of the century before he finally gave it up as business died out for him.
This vocal strong willed son of Dominica came, he saw and, in his own way, conquered.
Maybe the recognition he was denied in this existence will be fully conferred on him by the God whom he tried to serve to the best of his abilities. But he made his mark on this country's landscape.

On the river Elbe there is a wonderful city of arts of international importance.
Uncountable is what we can visit from the museums that house and preserve some of the most beautiful Italian artistic heritage (works of Antonello da Messina, of Raffaello, the Venus of Giorgione, Tiziano, Veronesi and others), one of the most important opera theater of the world the " Semperoper",the wonderful "Zwinger Park", the Bruhlsche Terrasse from which the view of the Elbe takes your breath away and finally the Catholic Cathedral "Hofkirche" of priceless beauty.
The city is divided in Altstadt (old town) and Neustadt (new town).
In the Altstadt ,on the left bank of the Elbe, we find famous buildings and other tourist attractions that can easily be reached by foot or by the various tramways that conned the city.
In the Neustadt we can see admirably held buildings of the Baroque era ,thanks to various renovations, which alternate with the most modern part of the city.
The Äußere Neustadt is the "IN" district of the city, here you will find many elegant shops, delicatessen that satisfy all the needs,taverns, restaurants, bar and discotheques.

Gayle Dedman, Steve O'Brien and Sam Ashby are to stand for Newcastle's Ward One in the local council elections on September 9.
Forty years on, however, a Labor mayor presides over the destruction of a swathe of parkland in Newcastle's East End (which, ironically, includes a public walkway named after Joy Cummings) to convert it and the historic Newcastle East Heritage precinct into a race track.
The willingness of Labor to participate in such state government-initiated vandalism has prompted local activists Steve O'Brien, Sam Ashby and Gayle Dedman to stand for Newcastle's Ward One in the local council elections on September 9.
"Newcastle residents are right to say that the SuperCars, state government and city council have put private profit before community," said Steve O'Brien, who is also standing for Lord Mayor.
The event requires six months of intrusive construction works in Newcastle's East End.
According to O'Brien, Ashby and Dedman, who are supported by Socialist Alliance, Labor cannot be trusted to stand up to the Liberals.
"Now that the rail line into inner Newcastle has been closed, for example, Labor has changed its tune. Originally they were opposed to any development on the rail corridor, but now appear to be willing to allow developers and the state government to build on it," said O'Brien.
The vision supported by the Socialist Alliance Ward One team is future focused according to O'Brien, who argues: "We need to look beyond cars and help people get around safely through investing in better connections between transport modes, running light rail down the existing rail corridor, promoting disability access, developing cycleways as well as building sporting facilities that encourage broad and active participation.
"The old BHP steelworks site, which lies within Ward One, for example, should be returned to the people and transformed into a sustainability precinct with mixed housing, parklands and park and ride facilities to reduce traffic congestion in the city.
"The area has access to wharf and rail infrastructure, which could catalyse the development of clean technologies and jobs.
"Newcastle's heritage was saved by the actions of residents, activists such as Joy Cummings and the green bans imposed by unions such as the Builder's Labourer's Federation.

We understand the importance of keeping commerical grounds and gardens maintained throughout the year. First impressions count. The natural areas around your premises are usually one of the first things your clients/customers see when they arrive.
