SDN helps Rosenbauer grow its global fire truck business
The impact of technology deployed and maintained by SDN Communications and an SDN member company, Alliance Communications, reaches far beyond their corporate bases in South Dakota, Chris Blackwelder points out.
People around the world rely on electronic information that Sioux Falls-based SDN and Garretson-based Alliance help Blackwelder's employer move and protect.
Blackwelder is the IT director for Rosenbauer America, a leading global producer of fire trucks. He is based at Rosenbauer South Dakota, which is in Lyons and is one of Rosenbauer's four companies in the United States. Two of the others are in Wyoming, Minn., and one in Fremont, Neb., Rosenbauer America also has about 45 dealerships.
SDN and Alliance have effectively provided Rosenbauer South Dakota with telephone, internet and related communications services for decades, and the company's need for networking services continues to expand.
Blackwelder says SDN helps Rosenbauer effectively manage its growth and that relationships like that are important in business.
"You have to have trust in a partner that has your best interests at heart," Blackwelder said.
SDN and Rosenbauer have that kind of relationship.
Blackwelder first visited Rosenbauer America in 1999 as a consultant. In 2006, he became the company's first, full-time IT staff member. He now oversees an IT staff that totals six and a half positions, including his job.
Rosenbauer America employs 900 people in North America, including approximately 350 in Lyons, which is 12 miles from Sioux Falls. Most of the members of the IT staff are based at the South Dakota and Minnesota sites.
An affiliated company has extensive business operations in Europe. Rosenbauer International is based in Austria. So Blackwelder has to keep in touch with his IT counterpart in Austria, too.
Rosenbauer America provides firefighting vehicles to customers ranging from small communities to large fire departments.
"Our fire trucks are sitting in fire stations across the Middle East, across South America, all the way across North America. We have dealers that are depending on us for data and information across the globe," Blackwelder said. "So this SDN technology we're using, whether it's SD-WAN, Managed Firewall, VPN connections, this is truly bringing the world of Rosenbauer together far beyond the reaches of Sioux Falls."
In 2014, Rosenbauer explored the need for Managed Services to keep its routers up to date and running smoothly. Other local and national companies were considered, but Rosenbauer went with SDN. It knew SDN could be trusted to do good work and would provide good advice, Blackwelder said.
If Rosenbauer is experiencing trouble or is worried about a problem, Blackwelder likes being able to call experts at a local company that he trusts and not have his calls routed to unknown locations, especially when cybersecurity is a concern.
When speaking last October at the Siouxland IT Symposium in Sioux Falls, he advised companies that are evaluating managed service providers to assume nothing and do their homework. Ask for detailed information, for example, and ask for proof of claims.
SDN has done that to Rosenbauer's satisfaction, and Rosenbauer continues to expand the services it receives from SDN and Alliance.
Rosenbauer expanded from SDN Managed Router Service to Managed Firewall Service, to more extensive firewall protection, to MPLS and SD-WAN solutions. MPLS is short for Multiprotocol Label Switching, which is an advanced information-routing technique. SD-WAN is short for software-defined, wide area networking.
SD-WAN is an architecture that can be deployed quickly and managed efficiently. Rosenbauer installed its first SD-WAN site, with help from SDN, in late 2019 to connect a new building in Minnesota. It plans to expand the use of the service in the future by replacing some less efficient networking systems.
Services such as Managed Firewall have given Rosenbauer the flexibility to expand more easily, Blackwelder said. SDN takes care of equipment on an ongoing basis, which would be a big job for Rosenbauer's relatively small IT staff. SDN also constantly monitors Rosenbauer's network for signs of trouble.
If Blackwelder had to assign a member of his staff to monitor the company's network, the person could only cover eight hours a day. In contrast, crews at SDN's Network Surveillance Center remotely monitor clients' systems around the clock, every day of the year.
Blackwelder's goal is to always have a solution in place before a problem arises, he said, and partnering with SDN and Alliance for communications needs have helped him reach a high degree of confidence on that front.
"The last thing we want is someone to come to us and say, 'We need to double our production and IT is holding us back.' We're not going to let that happen," he said.
"Even though here in Lyons we don't have a 24-hour shift, our dealers and our fire trucks are in operation 24 hours a day. Our firewall needs to be working, SD-WAN needs to be working. Our hardware needs to be ready at all times. Because of SDN, we're capable of doing that."
SDN Communications is a leader in providing business internet, private networking and cloud connectivity to businesses and organizations in communities such as Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Worthington and the surrounding areas.

EPA Allocates $1B in New Federal Funds for Superfund Projects
Update: EPA finalizing plans to start construction "as soon as possible"
KEYWORDS Environmental Protection Agency / Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act / Michael Regan / Superfund
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced plans to spend $1 billion from the new federal infrastructure law to eliminate its backlog of unfunded Superfund sites around the country and speed cleanup of other hazardous-waste sites where work is already underway.
The plan, which EPA unveiled on Dec. 17, includes funds to start construction at 49 sites in 24 states and territories that are on the Superfund National Priorities List and constitute the program's funding backlog.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan (pictured, above) said some projects awaited federal dollars for more than five years. "This funding will clear the backlog of cleanup projects that has been growing since 2015," he said.
Regan said the 49 projects "are the first wave of projects that will help deliver lasting public health protections in communities that need them the most, with about 60% in communities classified as underserved.
The $1 billion also represents the first installment of $3.5 billion provided for Superfund cleanups in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was enacted on Nov. 15.
EPA said in a statement emailed to ENR that the agency "is preparing funding mechanisms and finalizing cleanup plans to get construction work started as soon as possible."
The agency added, "We don't have a timeline that we're able to share at the moment, but more information about funding for backlogged sites and accelerated cleanup sites will be available in the coming weeks."
Seven of the 49 sites on EPA's construction list are in New Jersey—which has more total Superfund locations than any other state—five in Florida, four each in Michigan and North Carolina and three in New York and Tennessee.
Regan announced the funding news at the Lower Darby Creek Superfund site in Philadelphia. He said that project is one where the added funding will speed up completion.
EPA said another project to be accelerated is the North Penn 6 Superfund site in Lansdale, Pa., which will receive about $3.6 million to excavate for offsite removal contaminated soils.
Beside providing the $3.5 billion in funding, the law also reinstated a tax on chemical products that will help pay for Superfund cleanups that will take effect on July 1, 2022. It went into effect in 1980 and expired on Dec. 31, 1995.

Like most people, I have trouble switching off at night. Sleep experts would tell me off but in order to snooze I watch 30 Rock. It's not that I find it so boring that I pass out but rather that I've watched the whole show so many times, that I know it off by heart. I now smile at the jokes before they have been made, which eases me into deep slumber.
This isn't something to share with Tina Fey when you meet her. I did think about it but then realised that it would have been weird. And not in a good way weird. So, what do you talk about with one of your heroes and the also legendary comedy writer Paula Pell? Well for starters, their new film Sisters.
Written by Pell, who also was behind Bridesmaids, countless Saturday Night Live sketches and various credits on Judd Apatow's movies, the film is about two sisters (well, duh) played by comedy dream team Fey and Amy Poehler.
Fey and Poehler are complete opposites; Fey plays Kate Ellis, the wild one who had lots of boyfriends at school, and Poehler plays Maura Ellis, the sensible one who is perfect but is divorced.
When they have to go to their parents' house to clear out their old stuff, as their parents are selling their childhood home, they decide to have one last blow out party. And hilarity ensues.
Here, we spoke to both Fey and Pell about what they were really like growing up as teenagers and what they would do differently.


"When I decided to volunteer, there was no doubt that it would be with the Red Cross."
During this year's Northeast Florida Chapter Annual Meeting & Volunteer Recognition program, the 2017 Kathy Haworth Volunteer Service Award made its inaugural debut. The Award is presented in honor and memory of Kathy, former Regional Volunteer Services Officer, who demonstrated the Red Cross team spirit, compassion, commitment to professional growth, and excellence in performance. The award was created to recognize an outstanding new volunteer, who is in their first 12 months of service, who exemplifies these traits.
Sibyl Jose, the Disaster Workforce Engagement Lead for the Gainesville Service Area, is the proud recipient of this inaugural award, which she received at the June meeting held at the Regional Office.
The award recognizes Sibyl as being a source of inspiration and a guiding presence for new volunteers, and the Gainesville office where she volunteers almost daily, providing stability and strength during high staff turnovers and the absence of permanent paid staff.
The award also speaks to Sibyl's versatility, which is a result of her passion to serve and a voracious appetite for Red Cross training, having completed more than 25 courses in less than a year. She gives credit to Red Cross for providing her support and guidance.
Sibyl joined the Red Cross in July 2016 and, in addition to serving as the Disaster Workforce Engagement Lead, she also volunteers for Staff Services, Community Outreach events, Disaster Action Team and is a Pillowcase Project presenter.
Sibyl emigrated to the U.S. from India shortly after her marriage to Asish Skaria in December 2015. The newlyweds moved to Gainesville in 2016 where Asish, who received his Master's Degree from the University of Florida, works as a software engineer with a broadcasting company.
Well, unfortunately for Sibyl, snow is definitely not on the horizon … at least not in Gainesville. But fortunately for Red Cross, Sibyl will continue to volunteer and recruit new volunteers. She intends to enroll in Master's Degree program, which she says will give her an avenue to recruit volunteers. She currently holds an MBA from the University of Wales, Cardiff, Wales, UK but wants a Master's Degree in health administration.
Congratulations Sibyl! We salute you with much thanks and appreciation for your gracious service to the American Red Cross.


If you're looking to put a JZ into your FT86 chassis, this mount kit will do the job start to finish. We've made a simple yet strong and effective formed steel motor bracket and included a urethane motor mount to go with it. We have the urethane motor mounts available in two heights for 3/4" cross member clearance and 1/4" clearance depending on if you're doing steering rack swaps or other cross member mods, set your motor in, check your height and let us know. The taller urethane mounts are standard for the 3/4" crossmember clearance, please specify if you want the lower mounts.
These mounts do not work with VVTi blocks that only have a forward mount location on the passenger side. See the third picture for the passenger side rear position required.
The slotted brackets allow some adjustment front to rear for firewall clearance or you can set motor back a bit farther if you modify the firewall, there's just not a lot of room in the engine bay for an inline 6.
The engine and stock intake manifold will fit under the hood when the bracing is cut out but a turbo or intake piping may be of concern at the 3/4" crossmember clearance. The engine pictured was installed with 3/4" mounts for a swapped steering rack and a G-Force transmission with an Xcessive transmission adapter and no modifications to the transmission tunnel. Modifying the trans tunnel and raising the trans will give more hood clearance at the front of the motor.


We've missed the smize-ing, the falling from heels, and tears over haircuts that were so free flowing and inconsolable, that you'd be forgiven for thinking someone had just died.
But now, after it was dropped last year, after 22 'cycles' America's Next Top Model is returning, having found a new home at VH1.
Bad news: Tyra Banks won't be fronting the show anymore.
Good news: She'll still be serving as executive producer with production partner, Ken Mok.
Even better news: Tyra's still utterly nutterly Tyra, and trying to make fierce happen.
Let's celebrate our ANTM happiness by taking a look at the top 10 most cray moments from cycles past.
ANTM was a reality show looking for America's Next Top Model, but most of the time, Tyra and the judges just basked in the casual weirdness of the models. Standout moments include Alison's obsession with nosebleeds, Jordan's inability to not mention her teen divorce and best of all, Rebecca passing out during her critique in the funniest way possible.
The best part of any ANTM episode was when Tyra was onscreen, because you never knew what ridiculousness she'd come up with next. By Cycle 22, you could fill an entire book with Tyra's Top Model wisdom, including such gems like 'modeling is being a ho, but make it fashion', Smize, Booch, Tooch and worst of all PotLedom.
An actress herself (who else remembers Life Size?), Tyra knew that a real Top Model would need to act in commercials and music videos. Sadly, the contestants weren't always up to snuff, which resulted in some cringe-worthy fabulousness.
From Cycle 1, Tyra surrounded herself with fashion experts who knew a thing or two about what makes a good model. Past judges include models Janice Dickinson and Kimora Lee Simmons, runway coach Miss J. Alexander (who always looked fabulous) and our personal fave 'noted fashion photographer' Nigel Barker. Sadly, Tyra switched up the classic panel by Cycle 19, including bloggers and PR maven Kelly Cutrone to catch up to the social media age.
Top Model could always count on its fair share of drama, but with dwindling ratings, Tyra decided to switch things up in Cycle 20 by adding male contestants for the first time in ANTM history. The result? A toxic mix of hormones and constant gender wars as the boys constantly tried to get rid of the girls, while simultaneously wanting to hook up with them.
Last but not least, probably the moment that will define the series for decades to come. By Cycle 4, Tyra was already known as the sweet godmother to her gaggle of models. But this elimination became infamous for the one time Tyra completely LOST IT on a contestant. While the models usually cried and thanked Tyra upon getting cut, contestant Tiffany took it in her stride and calmly began saying her goodbyes. What follows is a telling off of such epic porportions, you have to see it for yourself. Learn from this!

5 Top Footballers Who Have Statues Built In Their Honour
March 16, 2021 John Anyanwu
How significant can a player be that a statue of him is built in his honour? At what point in a footballer's career can we say he is qualified for a statue? We will look at 5 famous footballers who have statues built in their honour.
These footballers had/have an astounding career and won so many trophies. Some played (or still play) in England, Spain, Italy, and even America. Let us look at 5 of these footballers.
Thierry Henry's | Emirates Stadium
1⃣ An iconic goal
2⃣ An iconic celebration
3⃣ An iconic statue@ThierryHenry: Truly an icon pic.twitter.com/DMdDptRT06
— Arsenal (@Arsenal) November 16, 2018
Amongst the 5 famous footballers who have statues built in their honour is Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Henry had two stints at Arsenal: 1999 – 2007 and 2012. However, his performance during his first stint prompted Arsenal FC to build a statue of him.
During his first stint, Henry won multiple league titles and individual awards. He won the Premier League golden boot four times and was voted as the league's best player twice. Also, he made the Premier League team of the season on six different occasions.
In 2011, Arsenal unveiled a statue of Henry outside the Emirates stadium. The occasion also doubled as Arsenal's 125th anniversary. To date, Henry is the club's record goalscorer with 228 goals.
Although Henry had a bright playing career, his Coaching career is not as glittering, and a few other managers like him.
Delima Ronaldo's | Nike's Headquarters
Zlatan Ibrahimovic referred to Ronaldo as "the greatest player through history" in one of the interviews he granted in 2021. Nicknamed "The Phenomenon", Ronaldo was nearly unplayable during his prime. He played a major role in Brazil's 2002 world cup triumph, where he emerged as the tournament's top goalscorer.
Although injuries took their toll on the player, he left his mark in almost every team he represented.
At Barcelona, his performance earned him the Fifa World Player of the Year Award at age 20. With Inter Milan, the player won the Fifa World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.
After his move to Real Madrid, the player won another Ballon d'Or award and the Spanish league title. An amazing performance in the first leg of his team's quarter-final match against Manchester United at Old Trafford earned him a standing ovation.
In the year 2000, Nike unveiled a bronze statue of Ronaldo at its headquarters in Beaverton, U.S.A. Ronaldo is in the Brazilian, Italian, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid Football Hall of fame.
Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the best International Footballers of all time.
Leo Messi's Statues | Wembley & Buenos Aires

— La Masia (@Youngcules) September 20, 2012
The list of 5 famous footballers who have statues built in their honour will not be complete without the mention of Leo Messi. He is the greatest footballer ever; to others, he is one of the greatest. The Argentine is as good at scoring goals as he is at assisting them.
Since his debut for Barcelona in 2004, Leo Messi has made and broken several football records. He is the Spanish league's all-time top scorer and holds the most goals in a single season with 50 goals. He holds the record for the most Ballon d'Or and European golden shoe (6).
Also, he is amongst the group of players to have won the treble (The Spanish league, Copa del Rey, and Uefa Champions League trophy) more than once. In one of the most iconic moments, he received a standing ovation from Real Betis fans after scoring an incredible goal in 2018/19.
Barca built the statue of Leo Messi following his remarkable performance in the 2010/11 Uefa Champions League final, where he scored against Manchester United.
The Argentine footballer's statue is also located in his country's capital, Buenos Aires. However, vandals stole a part of the statue.

Cristiano Ronaldo is on the list of 5 famous footballers who have statues built in their honour. Alongside Leo Messi, Ronaldo established himself as one of the greatest ever in football. Although some of Ronaldo's former teammates claim Messi is better.
During his time at Manchester United, he won the English Premier League best player and the golden boot award. He won his first of 5 Ballon d'Or at the club. Ronaldo enhanced his reputation when he moved to Real Madrid for a then-record transfer fee.
He is the club's all-time top scorer and won 4 Uefa Champions League trophies. Also, he won 4 Ballon d'Or at Real Madrid alongside other awards. At the national team level, Ronaldo holds the record as the European player with the most goals. He led his national team to the European Championship and Nations League Finals in 2016 and 2018.
Cristiano Ronaldo has several statues of him in various places. A statue of him at the Madeira Airport was mocked by many who felt it had no resemblance with the player.
Currently, Ronaldo is the top scorer in the history of the Uefa Champions League.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's | Malmo
Some say he is "egocentric" others think he is a technically gifted player with egoism beyond normal. The player thinks of himself as the "god" of Milan. At other times, he has referred to himself as a "lion."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is no doubt one of the greatest attackers of his generation. He is famous for scoring amazing goals and possesses a rare ability to control the ball.
His 30-yard bicycle kick goal against England in 2012 earned him the Puskas Award. Fifa gives the Puskas award to the player with the best goal for a calendar year.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is arguably Sweden's greatest ever footballer. He is the country's all-time leading goalscorer and won the player of the year award 12 times!

— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) January 5, 2020
Ibrahimovic had a statue built in his honour in the city where he started his professional career. However, the statue at Malmo was vandalized after a report of his investment in a rival club emerged.
Other footballers who have statues built in their honour are David Beckham, Andres Iniesta, Diego Armando Maradona, and Dennis Bergkamp.

A host of others may feel that they deserve a statue, especially with clubs they left their mark.
For example, Drogba, Terry, Lampard, and Cech played a key role in Chelsea's emergence as one of the best teams in Europe. They played a key role in Chelsea's multiple league titles between 2004 and 2012. Drogba scored the penalty that ensured that Chelsea won their first Uefa Champions League trophy.
Yaya Toure left his mark at Manchester City with some exemplary displays. His goal in the semi-final and final of the 2011 Fa Cup helped City secure their first trophy in 35 years. Xavi Hernandez was instrumental during his time in Barcelona too.
Surprisingly, none of the aforementioned players has a statue built in their honour.
What is your opinion about the non-recognition of these players? Do you think they deserve a statue in their honour?

Destiny We Hardly Knew Ye – Stargate Universe Airs It's Final Episode And A Franchise Comes to An End (For Now)
May 8, 2011 M R Reed
This Monday, May 9th at 9PM on the Syfy Channel, Stargate: Universe airs it's final episode. It's also the day that the long running Stargate franchise seemingly comes to a close.
Stargate Universe premiered back in October 2, 2009 with the pilot episode in which an attack on a secret off-world base, Icarus by a rebel organization forced the remaining survivors to flee onto an Ancient built ship named Destiny. Destiny had been launched millions of years ago by the same race that built the Stargates. Hoping to find a way back home, Colonel Everett Young (Louis Ferreira) and Dr. Nicolas Rush (Robert Carlyle) formed an uneasy, tension filled alliance to find out the ship's true purpose and to find a way back to earth.
Now, forty episodes later, the passengers and crew of the Ancient built ship Destiny face their final challenge in the episode titled Gauntlet. Relentlessly pursued by drone ships from an alien race bent on destroying everyone on board Destiny, the crew faces the very real possibility they may never live to see home again.
While Stargate: Universe doesn't have the infamy of being the shortest lived version of a Stargate spawned series – that title belongs to the animated series, Stargate: Infinity– it certainly didn't achieve the success that was expected of it by long time Stargate Executive Producer, Brad Wright. As a viewer, I have to admit I was surprised that this addition to the Stargate franchise didn't make it very far.
More after the jump.

Polio Vaccination at the Delray Drive-In Theater: A Spoonful of Sugar Made the Medicine Go Down
By Janet DeVries Naughton | December 10, 2020 - 5:16 pm | December 11, 2020 Churches, Citizens, History, medicine, Neighborhoods, Schools, Uncategorized
Memories Sparked
In a recent email to the Boynton Beach Historical Society, Robin Raborn described how she and her brother would go with her dad, Dr. Robert (Bob) Raborn to the Delray Drive-In Theater to drop off little paper cups to dispense the oral polio vaccine to children and adults.
Dr. Robert Raborn
"My father, Dr. Bob Raborn, ran the distribution at the Delray Drive In. He had worked in the United States Public Health Service and my mother, Lenore, was a medical social worker, so they made a good team. I was nine. I remember running back and forth, delivering tiny paper cups with the sugar cubes to the families driving through. Dad was also in Rotary which championed eliminating polio worldwide."
Dr. Bob Raborn Obituary, The Palm Beach Post, Apr 28 1999
Historic Note
During the first half of the 20th century, tens of thousands of Americans, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt (32nd United States President) were stricken by poliomyelitis. Polio, as it's known, is a disease that attacks the central nervous system and often leaves its victims partially or fully paralyzed. The affliction paralyzed Roosevelt from the waist down, confining him to a wheelchair. You might recall the movie Forrest Gump that started out with young Forrest Gump limping and wearing leg braces. In Florida, the contagious disease shuttered swimming pools and theaters warned moviegoers to not sit too close to one another.
Drs. Salk & Sabin
Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine as an injection of inactivated (killed) polio to give immunity. This discovery led to a remarkable decline in polio beginning in 1955.
Polio Pioneer Pin
Another medical researcher, Dr. Albert Sabin, created a "live" oral polio vaccine that was low cost, eliminated the needle, and tasted great.

Sabin's vaccine required three doses administered over three months. Three drops of polio antibodies were added to sugar cubes or cherry flavored water for quick, painless, and tasty immunity.
The 1964 Mary Poppins song "A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down" was inspired by the Sabin vaccine. Interestingly, in 1964 my parents fed me a spoonful of raw honey to conceal antibiotics hidden inside for several weeks as I recovered from surgery.

Sabin Oral Sundays
How to effectively administer the vaccine to entire families most effectively? Mass applications of the Sabin vaccine began in the early 1960s with "Sabin Oral Sundays.

Drive-In Theater Program
Dr. Raborn sold the Palm Beach County Medical Society on holding a local public health program at drive in theaters. As the Delray Beach/Boynton Beach polio representative, Dr. Raborn partnered with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce members) to get out the "SOS" and schedule a series of massive "Sabin on Sunday" events at the Delray Drive-In on Federal Highway. The programs goal was to immunize at least 80% of the local population—adults and all children over six months—and it worked!
Fort Lauderdale News, Feb. 24, 1964
Immunity in a Paper Cup
Thomas Bruce Smith recalls his family driving to the theatre on a Sunday afternoon. "When you got in, they sent the cars into three lanes, you pulled up and they gave you little paper cups to drink and then you left. You had to come back for a second dose." 1960s Palm Beach Post and Sun Sentnel newspaper articles confirm Smith's memories. The lanes were segregated with two lanes for white families and one lane for black and brown residents.
An Army of Volunteers
The polio eradication program took many volunteers. The Health Department, schools, churches, and civic organizations distributed authorization forms that households could pre-sign permission to vaccinate entire families or minors. Block captains went house by house and helped to sign up neighbors. School nurses and mothers volunteered as site coordinators and vaccine administrators. Seacrest High School students who served as candy stripers at Bethesda Memorial Hospital volunteered at SOS events.
Each dose of three pale drops of Sabin vaccine in a small cup of distilled water cost about 25 cents, and participants received the vaccine regardless of their ability to pay. Quarters raised went back into the program to educate and fortify more people against the crippling disease.
"Some 161,400 persons sipped their Sabin vaccine in Palm Beach County yesterday [January 19, 1964], 57% of the 280,000 target. 90% immunization mark. In Delray Beach 12,100 persons gulped the polio-preventer at the Delray Drive-In Theater. Dr. Robert E. Raborn and Delray Jaycee President Charles Gwynn lauded Paramedics and Seacrest High School students."
Mass Vaccination Program Eradicates Polio
Boynton's population in 1960 was just over 10,000. "A total of 21,966 persons received the third and final dose of Sabin oral vaccine at stations in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. The vaccine feeding station at the Delray Beach drive-in station had its biggest day to date yesterday [April 5, 1964]. Chairman Charles Gwynne said that 9,150 persons received the vaccine at the drive-in" (06 April 1964, Fort Lauderdale News).
Polio Vaccine Memories from the Historic Boynton Beach Facebook page
The vaccine was distributed at schools, churches, the Health Department, and of course the Delray Drive-In Theater.
Edward Morley
Delray drive in. Rode my bike there.
Dyle Cronenweth Warren
At the Delray Drive-in. Our parents drove in, the guy at the entrance booth passed out our sugar cubes and we drove out.
Robin Pierce Morgan
My mom had polio when she was 18, she almost died. When the vaccine came out, we stood in line.
Barbara Brooks
I got a certificate saying I am a polio pioneer. Never had any problems after I got the shot
I'm sure I got a shot when I was little (born in 1954), but I remember in 1963 or 1964 going to North Grade Elementary school for Sabin Oral Sunday, where we were given a little cup of vaccine. We had to go back a week or two later for the second dose. At that point, several of my siblings and I had mumps, so someone brought the tray of cups out to the car for us.
Susan Sheehan
I remember being so afraid of shots! I was so happy to get an oral vaccine!
Rick Cummins
Got mine at the Delray Beach drive in 1962 or 1963.
Leslie Worrell Jurney
I got it with my family at the Delray Drive in!
Joan Anderson
People were lucky to get the vaccine…. most don't remember the polio epidemic before the vaccine. I do as I was hospitalized with polio as a child, very scary. I was blessed not to have effects like some did. I wish the vaccine were around for me.
Kathleen Kidd
My whole family went together to the cafeteria at North Grade Elementary after church to get it as a liquid in a small paper cup.
Teresa Wilhelm
My parents and I went to Lantana Elementary, on a Sunday afternoon (I think) a couple of times to drink a tiny cup of liquid. Do not remember it tasting bad.
Nelda Hall Erwin
It was '64, I was 5 and I remember standing in a long line with my mom at Canal Point Elementary School. My oldest brother had and survived Polio without any handicaps.
Karen Dutch
At Boynton Beach Elementary my third-grade class was called Polio Pioneers. We did not know if we were given a placebo or the real vaccine. We were given a wallet size card and a little metal button, you bent in half on a pocket to wear.
Richard Katz
Line of cars …. little paper cups…we lived on 5 acre farm on two-lane Atlantic Avenue.

Happy 100th Birthday to the Boynton School!
By Janet DeVries Naughton | September 17, 2013 - 7:24 pm | October 17, 2015 History, Schools
1st Permanent Schoolhouse in Boynton, ca. 1907
It is hard to imagine a Boynton Beach without a schoolhouse. In 1895, only a handful of people lived here, and for most of those, formal education was unnecessary. Between 1900 and 1910, the little settlement, known simply as Boynton, grew in population from less than 100 people to nearly 700.
Though they had no children of their own, Fred and Byrd Spilman Dewey recognized the need for a school in the growing settlement of Boynton. In 1897, Fred S. Dewey appeared before the school board and petitioned for a Boynton school, as reported in the August 5, 1897 Tropical Sun. A small, one-room schoolhouse on stilts was erected on land donated by the Deweys, in the area of the present day Dewey Park (Ocean Avenue and NE 4th Street). Miss Maude Gee was the first teacher, referred to in the Tropical Sun as Boynton's "Instructoress." A makeshift school for African-Americans; known at that time as a "Colored School" opened in 1896 in the area of today's Poinciana School.
Article from Tropical Sun
Albert P. Sawyer donated the land for the first permanent schoolhouse for White children, from his Sawyer's Addition to the Dewey's original Town of Boynton plat on November 29, 1902. In 1904 the two-room wooden school which was located near present-day Ocean Avenue and Seacrest Blvd. (then Green Street) opened with W.S. Shepard as Principal and Agnes Halseth as teacher. A few years later, in 1909, Palm Beach County was carved out of Dade County.
The Boynton School, ca. 1913
In 1912, the Palm Beach County School Board approved a contract with A. Mellson to construct the first part of a new school building. The original plan left the upstairs unfinished and did not include the fire escape. The Board approved a contract for William W. Maughlin, an architect from Baltimore to design a new masonry vernacular school. Maughlin, born in 1847, had previously designed the Palm Beach High School in 1908-1909 and was a draftsman for the Florida East Coast Hotels. Maughlin and his firm of Ruggles and Weller constructed the schoolhouse. The Boynton School was Maughlin's last project, he passed away suddenly in October 1913 at his office and is buried in Woodland Cemetery.
Architect Wm. Maughlin's Woodmen of the World Monument (1847-1913) at Woodlawn Cemetery.
In December, 1912, the Board of Instruction authorized work to be completed on the two-story, six classroom building. The structure, one of the first in Boynton to feature indoor plumbing, had a signature portico, large sash windows and transom windows to facilitate the flow of sunlight and fresh air. The floors were made from Dade County Pine, and walls affixed with bead board.
The sturdy school featured a new system in masonry, known as Dunn Tile. The molds, designed by the W.E. Dunn Mfg. Co. of Chicago, the largest manufacturer to make concrete block forms, transformed the building industry. The Dunn Co. used a revolutionary concrete and plaster mixer to make concrete for block, a precursor to the concrete block house.
Miss Annie Streater (Shepard) with her 1st to 4th grade pupils, ca. 1913
The school opened September 8, 1913 for grades 1-12 with 81 students in attendance. Little Glenn Murray, age three, was hastily added to the list of pupils so the school had adequate students for the staff of three teachers and a principal. Miss Annie Streater taught the first year and Howard Frederick Pfahl, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, served as school principal for the years 1914-1915. Pfahl motored to school on an Indian motorcycle.
Principal Howard Phahl, ca. 1915.
The Boynton School served grades 1 -12 until 1927, when the Boynton High School opened next door. For the next three decades the building served as a traditional 1-8 grade school, until Boynton Jr. High opened in 1958. The structure served as a school for primary grades and elementary students until its closing in 1990.

The $130- to $150-million project also includes raising the grade of the freeway out of the 100-year flood plain, adding a truck lane northbound lane from Cliff Road to 106th Street, and rebuilding the 106th Street bridge in Bloomington. MnDOT also will put in a pedestrian and bicycle trail over the Minnesota River.

Replacement of the Interstate 35W bridge over the Minnesota River between Bloomington and Burnsville is scheduled to begin in 2018, and a meeting next week will give residents a chance to learn more about the four-year project.
Officials from the Minnesota Department of Transportation will present key points of the project at a Burnsville City Council public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 100 Civic Center Parkway.
Work will include rebuilding I-35W from Cliff Road in Burnsville to 106th Street in Bloomington; adding a northbound lane; rebuilding the 106th Street bridge over the freeway; raising the roadway above the 100-year flood plain; and adding a pedestrian-bicycle trail over the river.
Scott Pedersen, MnDOT project engineer, said the project is a priority for the agency. It was originally scheduled for 2020.
The river bridge was built in 1957 and remodeled in 1984.
The bridge's design does not allow for it to be expanded and requires additional inspection above the normal rate, Pedersen said.
Construction could start as early as July, with work lasting through the 2021 season, Pedersen said.

Cedar Ave Bridge Dismantled 1980Sun Del Stelling November 18, 1980
Old Cedar Ave. bridge going down
After 90 years of service to the Minnesota Valley area, the old Cedar Avenue bridge is finally being dis mantled,
A construction crew recently commenced the task of tearing up the old wooden floor of the bridge and making preparation for the dismantling of the steel work.
According to a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the removal project is expected to be completed by April, 1981.
Meanwhile, traffic is moving smoothly over the new bridge, which was opened late last month, providing three lanes of traffic in either direction.
Commenced four years ago, the new bridge and the reconstruction of TH 77 was completed at a cost of approximately $56 million.
A pedestrian bridge, adjoining the bridge to the east will be constructed, with completion expected in late summer of 1981.
The MnDOT spokesman said the new bridge will eventually relieve rush hour congestion op the Interstate 35W bridge between Burnsville and Bloomington and also on the Mendota bridge.
Buses of the Metropolitan Transit Commission are already using the new structure.

The Lyndale BridgeOn a way, Burnsville came of age in 1920 when it got its own bridge over the Minnesota River at Lyndale. (The Cedar Avenue bridge had been built in about 1896.) This was a unique structure in that it was a draw bridge. This would allow river traffic to continue reaching landings upstream. During WWII planners at Cargill took advantage of this, when they proposed building ocean-going U.S. Navy ships at their yard in Savage,, just on the Burnsville border. 28 tankers and 8 tugs were fabricated and the drawbridge allowed them to pass. The finish work was done in the New Orleans area. This enterprising idea allowed the workforce here to participate and benefit in the war construction boom.

The Cleveland Indians are gearing up for the 2010 season at their Goodyear, AZ training camp. Travel photographers can get some nice close-up photographs before the season even begins.
Games are played at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. It's located at 1933 S Ballpark Way. Goodyear is located about 30 minutes due west of the Phoenix Airport via I-10. Click here for a Google map showing the stadium's location.
Photographing spring training games gets you closer to the action in smaller venues. This enables you to fill the frame with all the action and less of the field.
Typically all spring training locations are in warm and sunshiny states making for better photo conditions than Cleveland in the spring. Photo suggestion…pack your UV filter, a polarizer if you have one and that sun shade that came with your lense. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat for yourself.
You can get the Indians schedule on their special spring training Web page. Prices for tickets will save you considerably as well. Infield box seats can be had for $23.00 or get premium field boxes for $27.00. Lawn seats go for only $5.00 or $8.00; but bring your telephoto lense as you are far out in left and center field.
Parking is plentiful and you can arrive 90 minutes before game time to get some close-up shots during warm-ups. Autographs are available as well, before and after the games.
See some of this year's action at the spring training camp through the lense of Mark Duncan, Cleveland area AP photographer in the slide show at the bottom of my article on Examiner.com.
In addition to the baseball, Arizona offers all sorts of other photo opportunities nearby. Think hot air balloons, parachuting, helicopter tours, river runs, Hummer adventures, and lots of golf. Contact names, addresses and phone numbers are also available at the Indians Spring Training local attractions Web page.


As I write this blog entry, I'm sitting by my pool on a balmy December 26th morning, sipping my meal replacement shake and vowing never to punish my stomach again the way I have over the past several weeks. And even though I've lived in Lakeland my entire life, there's still something not right about being in shorts and a tee shirt the day after Christmas. Come quickly, cold front!
Knowing I was due to post today, I assumed I would write about the "What Now?" of post-Christmas life, or reflect on some potential early New Year's Resolutions. However, something else has captured my thoughts this day, something that drops our family to our knees in gratitude to our Lord for his sovereign grace and mercy.
Christmas had a quite different feel this year for the Wilsons and for our extended clan of Harrells and Strawbridges. We had planned to celebrate the birth of Christ with traditional family routines. My immediate family would gather at our house on Christmas Eve for a meal and gifts. We would then host the Wilsons for Christmas Day lunch, yet spend much of the day in my mother-in-law's home laughing, sharing memories, eating, and exchanging gifts with my wife's side of the family. Three young children would add to the excitement of the Christmas festivities.
However, this year's Christmas "journey" took a far different route. It all started Sunday evening, two days before Christmas. While sitting in a movie, we received a text that our brother-in-law, Ted Strawbridge, had suffered a heart attack and was in an Emergency Room in Ocala. This was surreal news, coming out of the blue. Suddenly, my popcorn with extra butter (actually, liquid cholesterol!) tasted stale.
Yet, soon we learned that he was stable and would have a heart cath Christmas Eve morning. Hoping for the best, I assumed they would likely find some sort of plaque build-up (Ted has lived in the south his whole life, where Paula Deen's style of cooking is a culinary requirement), put in a stent, and Ted would be good to go. We all waited anxiously for the report.
In the fastest cath lab to operating table I've ever heard, Ted was whisked off to open heart surgery. On Christmas Eve. You see, our beloved brother-in-law needed six blocked coronary arteries bypassed. Yes, six – including the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery, the "widow maker," which was 90% blocked. Cutting to the chase, without the marvelous grace of God, Ted was a walking dead man and Mary Lu, his wife, was a 50-year-old widow-to-be.
So, when I tell you that my Christmas afternoon visit with Ted was the best chat we've ever had, you can now understand why. What a privilege to forego the deeply entrenched family Christmas traditions in Lakeland for the opportunity of spending time in Ocala with this Godly man and his dear family.
On a Christmas Day that appeared topsy-turvy, it was really as it should be. God gave us Ted for another season, so there wasn't a place I'd rather be than with him and his loved ones.
And you know what? Christ was in our midst this day — the One who was born in a humble manger, lived a perfect life, and died to redeem our brokenness. This One of whom the angels proclaimed was also with Ted, all five hours of surgery. The King of the Universe was ever present!

What better way is there to de-clutter while making some extra cash as you are getting ready to move to your new home? A garage sale is a great way to lighten the load. In addition, it can be a fun method of bringing neighbors together to have a neighborhood sale, which will attract more shoppers.
Now is the time to organize your closets, drawers and garage. Gather together all of the sale items in one staging area near to where you will hold the sale. For example, in the garage if the sale will be in the driveway.
Take a little time to make minor repairs. Sewing a visible gap in a seam can mean the difference between a sale or a donation. Bundle together like items, such as a pitcher and matching glasses, or muffin tins and a cooling rack. Or you can put unrelated items together as fun grab bag specials. Take a little extra effort and launder clothes and linens. If you have many clothing items to sell, separate them by size and clearly label them.
As you go through your home and find items to sell, put price tags on them and take them to the staging area right away. If you wait until the day of the sale to price items, you could fall behind and be unprepared.
One key element to a successful garage sale is to properly advertise. You have many channels and venues to do this, and you should take advantage of as many as you can. You can also highlight merchandise that may be collectible or intrigue potential shoppers.
Announce it on your Facebook page or Twitter feed.
Be sure to have a big sign out in front of the sale. Many people make it a hobby to simply drive around on a Saturday morning to find sales.
Plenty of change, especially dollar bills. You can get coin rolls at your bank, and be sure to count your change prior to the sale, so you know what you started with.
Wrapping supplies such as newspaper, cardboard boxes, shopping bags, twine, scissors and a stapler.
Have a firm CASH ONLY policy and have a sign announcing the policy.
Keep your pets confined to the back yard or inside the house. Some pets can be overly excitable by crowds, and some shoppers will avoid dogs.
Hopefully, you sell everything. But if you have some items leftover, consider donating them to Goodwill or another charity. They will give you a receipt for the donation for tax purposes, and you won't be transporting goods to your new home that you really have no more use for.
Now you will have a little extra cash in your pocket, and your relocation just became much easier. Plus, you probably had a little fun too!

I got the Hodgkin's disease diagnosis when I was a 14-year-old, in January 2011.
The treatment was started immediately. It was planned to last for a half year during which time I had to stay at home, given the elevated risk of infections. Surprisingly, I was in really good condition during the treatments and I was even able to go to school during the late spring.
However, in the next fall, it was discovered that I still had the disease and the treatments were re-started. These treatments were much stronger and I had to stay in the hospital for a long period of time. In the beginning of 2012 I went through a stem cell transplantation and after that the cancer was gone. That is how it is even today. I am now 18 years old, a young man going to high school.
In the beginning, the thing that felt most difficult and heavy for myself was that I got the disease at that particular age. My social life was cut down to my family and few friends. I had to leave my hobbies and sports completely during the treatments. I did not live the normal life of a teenager and that sometimes made me feel angry. I felt like I missed out something that the others were allowed to experience. In the present day, I think differently. My family's support and my own experiences show that life goes on. I believe that everything has its purpose.

Next Generation Mahindra Thar Spotted Testing In Leh-Ladakh Region
A test mule of the next generation Mahindra Thar was recently spotted undergoing tests on high altitude roads in the Leh-Ladakh region
The 2020 Mahindra Thar is definitely taking a bit too long to step into our market. While latest reports state that the new model could launch as soon as next month, it looks like the homegrown UV-specialist is yet to complete the road tests of the upcoming model, which is a fact that can be ascertained from the new spy images of a heavily-camouflaged test mule undergoing high-altitude road-tests in the Leh-Ladakh region.
2020 Mahindra Thar Not Too Far from Market Debut
As has been the case so far, the test mule which was snapped recently carries a heavy camouflage. It rides on steel wheels and features tail lights lifted from its predecessor. However, the latter is a temporary arrangement that will eventually get replaced with all-LED units. Also, chances are that the top-end trims of the new-gen Thar would offer stylish mag wheels.
The latest images do reveal that the next generation Mahindra Thar will carry an all-new bumper that will have a sleek middle portion and larger terminal ends. The test unit that you seen in the pictures here features the same outside rear view mirrors as the earlier version but in all probability, the new model will feature a more upmarket look for the door mirrors.
New-Gen Mahindra Thar 4-Door Side Profile Rendered
Underpinning the second-generation Mahindra Thar will be an upgraded version of the ZEN3 ladder-on-frame chassis that is employed by the TUV300 as well as the Scorpio. This will ensure that the new model offers better ride-handling characteristics than its predecessor. The safety suite for the new model will include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, ESC, high speed alert, front seatbelt reminder and high speed warning alert.
The next-generation Mahindra Thar will be available with two engine options, a petrol and a diesel. The former will be the same 1.5-litre mStallion engine that outputs 165 PS of maximum power and 280 Nm of peak torque.The oil-burner on offer will be a 2.2-litre motor that offers 140 PS and 320 Nm. Transmission options for both the motors will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic unit.


The former head of the Fuzhou Electric Wire Plant attended a meeting of Fujian entrepreneurs organization last week to discuss the latest guideline on entrepreneurship, released on Sept. 26 by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council.
"The guideline defines the meaning of entrepreneurial spirit and gives legal rights and interests to entrepreneurs," Du said.
In the old planned economy, companies were obliged to execute government orders. There was no free entrepreneurship. The guideline makes creating a favorable environment for entrepreneurship a government priority.
One of the reasons behind China's stable performance during global instability or domestic economic slowdown is the role of the CPC in political and economic activity.
Businesses have remained ahead in creativity, prompted by improved education, research, government support and investment. UBS claims that China's investment in research and development has exceeded some European countries and will surpass that of the United States in 2018.
Nomura analyst Ying Zhongxi believes China is beginning an era of high-speed development in artificial intelligence (AI), following a State Council guideline in July. Goldman Sachs said in a recent report that AI and machines will be the next area of major area of creativity in China.
The Party has ensured that better social governance solved various social problems through advanced theory, a scientific attitude, professional methods and appropriate standards.
Over the past five years, officials have come up with new ideas, mechanisms and methods, solving a number of problems, improving the sense of security and satisfaction of the people, and creating a stable environment for reform and development.
At a corruption reporting center in Foshan City, south China's Guangdong Province, an LED screen displays a map showing villages in different colors: the deeper the color, the more complaints about the village committee. The complaints are about "si feng," the four forms of decadence: formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism and extravagance.
In December 2012, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee came up with an eight-point frugality code to address "si feng." In April 2014, Foshan set up the country's first online reporting platform, receiving information and complaints from the public.
The CPC has been taking advantage of big data as new means to dig for possible violations and corruption in officials. The platform analyzes the performance of officials and public servants in different areas, industries and levels and sounds an alarm when complaints rise markedly, according to Pei Guangming, deputy secretary of CPC discipline inspection committee in Foshan.
Yao Yang, dean of the National School of Development at Peking University, said that with new methods, CPC should select more capable staff in promoting officials.
"The Party needs to ceaselessly tackle problems found in promotions, such as those based only on scores, GDP or age," Yao said.
