LESLIE McCARTNEY: So today is August 7th, 2014, and we're in Daisy and Harold Northway's home just outside of Tok. Thanks, Daisy, for having us. And Barbara Cellarius is here; and I'm Leslie McCartney.
So, Daisy we were just going to start off if you could tell us a little bit about yourself -- where you were born, who your parents were.
DAISY NORTHWAY: I was born in the village of Healy Lake and my parents are Frank and Ellen Felix.
And I -- in the late '40s my mother and dad moved us out of Healy Lake and relocated us to -- first of all the Big Gerstle, where they had temporary shelters for us to live in.
The people that came out of Healy Lake at that time, I believe there was, like, maybe ten people. I'm not entirely sure, but at least ten people.
And those were the survivors of the epidemic that had hit Healy Lake during those early years of -- of the '40s.
I think we stayed there -- and I was very, very young when it happened, so I'm not sure of the details, but we must have been there for under a couple of years, and then from there -- from there on we -- we moved down to the Little Gerstle.
And I believe we stayed there 'til I was at least four or five. And then by that time, there were people that were around during those years that worked for the Alaska Road Commission that told my mother that us children or that, you know, at least myself -- my sister is twelve years older than me, so she was still school age. And they -- my mother was told that we had to attend school.
So at the age of six, I started school in Dot Lake. So I figure we moved there, probably prior to that time. Maybe four and a half, five, because that's where my father died as well, in Dot Lake after he became ill.
So from the time I started first grade through the eighth grade, I remained in Dot Lake. And attended school here in Tok for a short time.
Then my mother, you know, on the death of my father became a single parent, so she had to look around -- lookin' for work and stuff to support us children.
So while we remained in Dot Lake during the winter months for our school, our summer months were spent up at the Fortymile Roadhouse from the time I was eight years old until I was about twenty-one when I left there. So that's my childhood.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And did your mum, because she was a single mum, did she have, like, maybe a rabbit snare line or something like that to help feed people?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes. My father became ill while we were livin' in Little Gerstle. And, yes, we lived a pure subsistence lifestyle. My mother went out and hunted and fished and did whatever she could to support -- to support us.
My -- like I said, there was an older sister who is -- who is still alive today. She's, like, twelve years -- I would say eleven and a half years older than I am, and then I had a younger brother who has since then passed.
Uh-huh, but he was, I would say, maybe a year or so younger than I am. So I don't know what she did, you know, back in the day for, like, you know, milk and stuff.
I'm sure there was places where they could get those things. But we lived purely a subsistence lifestyle.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Mm-hm. Must have been a lot of work for her. DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Did you have any aunts or uncles around you, or was it pretty much your mom and the kids?
DAISY NORTHWAY: There were, I believe, another family there in Little Gerstle.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: The epidemic that came through Healy Lake that you had to leave, was that the flu?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I -- you know, I can't remember at the moment. I know what it is. It's not diphtheria or anything like that, but there was something, and I forget --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Scarlet fever? DAISY NORTHWAY: It's a -- Uh-huh. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah? Scarlet fever.
DAISY NORTHWAY: It killed a number of people. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And then you -- you said your dad had been sick. What was he -- what was --?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I -- you know, I'm not really sure of, you know, my dad. What, you know, he may have had a heart attack or something that caused him to become paralyzed from waist down.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Oh, dear. Right. Gosh. So did -- I guess because you were goin' to school, you guys didn't get out on the -- did you get out on the land a lot to go -- did your mom have a trapline too or anything, or was it mostly subsistence that she did?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No, not while -- while we were growing up in Dot Lake, I don't recall my mother ever having a trapline, because by then, you know, she worked over at the -- the lodge and other places and was able to bring in a little bit of money, so that we were able to have, you know, store-bought food.
But the little village that I came from, you know, everybody helped each other out. And, you know, there was a family there, Peter Charles and his family, and they always took Mom with them when they went hunting and -- and then, of course, if some of us kids as we got older went down on the Copper with them to get salmon and things.
So, you know, we still ate wild game. Beaver and any -- anything that was caught in the village it was always shared.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: So did you go to the Charles fishcamp? Was that -- do you remember where that was on the Copper?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I don't think they actually had a fish camp. They just went down there. It wasn't -- I don't think it was Copper actually. It was Chistochina. BARBARA CELLARIUS: Okay.
DAISY NORTHWAY: And it was close to Jerry Charlie's dad's camp.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Okay, Walter Charlie. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Not Walter Charlie.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Not Walter.
DAISY NORTHWAY: That wasn't his name.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Oh Frank.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Frank Charlie, mm-hm. But we were -- I don't think we were teenagers then, you know. I remember we -- we went down there with them, and when they got fish, got back to the village, and he shared with everyone.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And so you learned to cut fish and everything? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Do you dry fish and -- ? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Yeah. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Just like being there.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Everybody had to learn that back in the day. Life wasn't easy, you know. We knew how to -- we were out in the woods carrying guns when we were, like, eight years old shootin' rabbits and stuff and, you know, uh-huh. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Had to learn how to skin it.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Mm-hm. And how to cook it? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. So did you ever go down further towards Wrangell-St Elias Park that way or were you mostly --?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No, I personally never did.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. How many people lived in Healy Lake then, just -- do you know before the epidemic came? And did that -- what moved the entire town out?
DAISY NORTHWAY: You know, I -- I would have to look at some information I have. I don't, you know -- I don't remember -- LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: -- you know, how many. All I know is that, you know, Healy -- Healy Lake was a big village. It had a lot of families, and when my moth -- my parents left, they did -- they had a mass burial, five people at one time, you know, and that was the last act that they did before they left the village.
DAISY NORTHWAY: And I don't really, you know, remember, you know. Maybe Joanne Polson, who is, you know, Chief Healy's granddaughter would -- would have a little bit more information on that. I -- I don't know, you know.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Were both your mum and your dad from that area, too?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No, actually my dad came from Kechemstuk area. Mansfield? My grandparents are buried up -- up by Dihthaad but I don't know where, you know.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And your mum's --
DAISY NORTHWAY: My dad died when I was very young, and I don't have any memories of him at all, so --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And you don't remember his parents were gone by then? DAISY NORTHWAY: No, uh-uh, no.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And what about your mum's parents?
DAISY NORTHWAY: My mother actually came from the old village of Chena. She was adopted, uh-huh, into Healy Lake as a baby. And so she has -- you know, she never had any knowledge of her -- her relations. Her relations were the people who adopted her. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: And so that's who I know. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah, definitely. And Dot Lake how many -- was Dot Lake a fairly large community when you were growing up there?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I think there was -- let me see if I can remember. There's the Charles's -- Sorry. LESLIE McCARTNEY: That's okay.
DAISY NORTHWAY: I th -- I'm not sure, but I know that the primary family was the Charles's and there were the Lukes, then my mother, Felix, then Chief Andrew Isaac and his wife, and then Grandma Bessie Walter and her son.
So I would say, and -- and, you know, I stand to be corrected here, six to seven families.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Oh. And they had a school obviously, 'cause you went there.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes, they had a school.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. And where -- where did your teachers come from? Were they local teachers or they brought in --?
DAISY NORTHWAY: They brought in people. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Hm mm. DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: And then you talked about your mom going up to the Fortymile Roadhouse. Until you were twenty-one?
DAISY NORTHWAY: She worked there for a lot longer. That's when I left there.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: That's when you left. Did you ever work there, or was it just your mom?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes, I did. I did. Mm-hm. Until I was twenty-one.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: And knew that it was time for you to move on!
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Then later on, I think I went back and worked for a few more years.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: So what kinds of things did you do when you worked there?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I did everything. I cooked. I ironed. I cleaned. I --
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Whatever needed to be done? DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. Yeah.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: I imagine that was a pretty busy place at the time.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. I fueled trucks, cars, checked oil.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: A lot of business passed through there.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, it was interesting. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Hm mm. DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: And then where did you go next?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I moved to Fairbanks, and then around and about, you know, us wild and wooly teenagers, you know how we get.
And I did other things and, you know, eventually I think -- I don't remember. I moved back into this area, I think for a short time.
And then my mother and my stepfather at that time were living in the village of Northway, so I went up there. And shortly after that is when I met Harold, you know. Couple of years later we got married and --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And you lived in this area ever since you've been married then, Daisy?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. We lived in Northway for a while and then in -- in the '70s, I think it was 1973 when we moved back.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: To this area? DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm. Yeah. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And what was Northway like when you lived there?
DAISY NORTHWAY: What was like -- you know, I think it was a -- a good place to live. It was, you know, quiet and people, you know, warm -- truly did care for each other and to help each other.
You know, there were other things that went along with, you know, my life there, but I don't care -- care to discuss that part of it.
But, you know, they -- you know, at that time I -- I remember going down to the old fish camp there at -- at fish camp and fishin' and that kind of stuff and, you know --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Did you go out hunting there around Northway or did Harold?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Oh, I personally never did. I'm not much of a hunter. You know, outside of when we were kids and it was fun to go out and shoot rabbits and get fish and stuff, but, you know, I don't know,
I -- I just married and I figure that's what husbands are for, you know. And I have sons, you know, and so I think they meet my needs so I don't have to go out carryin' a gun anywhere or have to shoot anything -- LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: -- to get myself food.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. Is Harold originally from Northway?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes. Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: That's why his name is Northway. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: But do you still fish and put up fish?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes, I do. That's necessary. We get fish from the Copper River. We have friends that, you know, give us fish. And so we do this every year. We can jars and jars of fish.
And we share those with some of the children that, you know, like one that lives out in Wisconsin that doesn't get salmon.
So we, you know, send couple cases or someone goes out and we send. Dried meat and, you know, the things that they like.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So Harold must still hunt then or do you get --? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Yeah. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah?
DAISY NORTHWAY: All my boys hunt. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Okay. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So you get moose meat that way and caribou? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Yeah. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah.
DAISY NORTHWAY: We don't eat much caribou. I don't like caribou and neither do my children. And so --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So moose -- DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. LESLIE McCARTNEY: -- primarily.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Moose and fish.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. Any of them trap beaver or muskrat or anything like that?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No. I -- I think throughout the years, you know, because of where and how I grew up as a child; I think, you know, we had to eat what was put in front of us.
It was between, I think, starvation and whatnot. And so throughout the years I think, you know, because my mother started working and stuff, I -- I felt like I had a choice in what I could eat and so, while I eat fish and moose meat and moose stomach, fish stomach, and all that stuff, still there's some stuff that I -- I just absolutely cannot.
You know, I eat duck maybe once a year. That's spring duck. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. But I'm, you know, I don't -- it's not consistent on my menu here at home.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So muskrat is not on the menu.
DAISY NORTHWAY: No. Yeah, you know, we ate all that stuff, you know, when we were kids growing up but somewhere in between then and here, here and now, I think, you know, the taste buds must change or maybe it's psychological thinkin' is that, you know, now we have a choice.
And if I don't have to eat it, I don't want it.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So are your boys still all local then, Daisy?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I have one in Wisconsin and the three that live here. Not here. One's in Fairbanks and two here.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So they're still close by. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. And they all went to school in the local area then?
DAISY NORTHWAY: They went to school here in Tok. Uh-huh.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. What's the son in Wis -- Wisconsin do?
DAISY NORTHWAY: He's a carpenter. Mm-hm. Yes. Yep.
He put himself through school and became a journeyman carpenter and has been one for the last twenty -- maybe fifteen, twenty years.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And you got lots of grandchildren by -- nearby?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No, not really. I have a total of eight grandchildren, and I have, I think, four of them here. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Okay.
DAISY NORTHWAY: In the area. LESLIE McCARTNEY: In the area. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: When we came in you were showing us your sewing, so where -- when did you learn your beading and your sewing?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I think I was trying to put that together as I was thinking about the time when we left Little Gerstle and when we went to Dot Lake.
I'm not sure exactly whether -- whether I was five or -- must have been five because -- no, I must have been six because, you know, we started school in Dot Lake that fall.
My -- my birthday is in December. So I must have been either five and a half or so when I started school. So, I remember very distinctly, I think, that I -- my mother was teaching me how to sew prior to the time that we moved to Dot Lake.
I remember, I think when -- and I don't know why I remember this, but it was a heart made with all her mixed up beads, you know, because back in the day it was so hard to even get those kind of beads that we have today that we learned to use the scrap beads to sew.
So I -- I figure I must have been four or five when I did that. I only remember that because nowadays when you teach children how to sew and, you know, at that age you'd think they'd be very, very young.
And it's such tedious work that I don't think children nowadays have the patience, you know, to -- and back then we didn't have what they have today: radios and games and stuff to distract us.
This is what we had to do. It was a matter of survival and teachin' us life skills.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And they -- also you learned to sew fur then, too?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No, I -- I really don't get into fur sewing so much. I -- I -- I do moccasins and I do gloves, but I can only do so many at a time because my allergies.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Oh. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. But you know, I -- I think the focus here is on the use of --
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Well, we're also interested in -- in life. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Sort of your life growing up more generally.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. Yeah, I remember my mother telling me stories about how her and Dad used to go from Healy Lake when everything was well. You know, how they used to go up into the Robertson River up into the mountains to go sheep hunting.
They did that by sled in the wintertime. And I don't remember her ever saying anything about if they went any further beyond that point.
So, just a little extra information, but her and my dad did do a lot of traveling to fish and hunt -- LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: -- and that kind of stuff.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And then did they -- they bring the kids with them or did the kids stay back with other people?
DAISY NORTHWAY: There were, I think, many times when they took us, you know.
You know, back in the day, everybody took their kids everywhere, you know, you just taught them to be quiet out in the woods and, like, in the summertime when you go berry picking you teach your children to be quiet because, you know, noisy children will attract a bear.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Oh!
DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. Because of the cubs and similar sounds. And we're taught to be aware of our surroundings. To get up -- when you're in the middle of the berry patch, you get up every now and then and look around you.
Hm mm. And to, you know, tell your children to be quiet. I take mine.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Mm-hm. DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Hm. Yeah.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: You talked about going down to Chistochina to get to a fish camp. Did you ever go out the Nabesna Road? Or mostly down to Chistochina?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mostly to Chistochina. Hm mm. I don't recall going beyond that for, you know, in my lifetime.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: From the times that you were at -- at Dot Lake and Little Gerstle and everything, you've seen the landscape. Have things changed on the land or with the animals at all since you were young? Do you think of anything?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I don't think the landscape changed so much. You know, maybe there's more growth.
Like at the Big Gerstle, my mother pointed out to me, you know, as they left Healy Lake. You know, I guess if -- if you were coming east, it'd be on your right.
Somewhere back in there is where she said they -- they set up temporary shelters because one of the men who they brought out from Healy Lake was sick, but not from, you know, what killed the rest of the people in Healy Lake.
He was sick, so he died there, back there in this little camp. But there's a lot of growth now, new growth over the years.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Like trees coming up?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah, and I -- a few years ago -- and I've been back to Healy Lake since then and I don't think it's changed so much. The old village itself -- now no one lives there in the old village.
It's all grown up, you know, the -- some of the cabins are still there. My mother and dad's cabin was still standing although the roof had fallen in, you know, but there was the old woodstove still in there that I seen and few pots and pans.
And, you know, I think somewhere I have the old washboard that my mother used, you know, that I brought back.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm. But Little Gerstle, I think, I've never been back there. I've been wanting to and I told my nephews that one of these days I'd like to go back in there, just to look at the little cabin that, you know, my dad built for us before he became ill.
My dad was also a carpenter, so during those years, you know, he worked. You know, he worked on the boat and, you know, by that time I think Delta was getting settled so he helped to build some of the older homes there in Delta.
So he was a carpenter and a sled builder. And that's where a lot of the people learned how to build sled sto -- racing sleds. He was a good sled maker.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Wow. And it was racing sleds, not sleds for cargo?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah. And so Little Gerstle, I think, also is grown up. I don't know, you know, I think you might have to have four-wheelers. I don't think that it's drivable all the way down in there.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And what about changes in the climate?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I was tryin' to think of that one day. I remember -- I don't know if -- and, you know, there again I could be wrong, but as we were kids growing up in Dot Lake, I don't -- I didn't recall it being as windy as it is today.
Because sometimes in the winter months you drive and it's so windy, you know, and I -- I couldn't for the life of me remember whether it was that way or not. I know that it was in the earlier years of my life.
There was extreme cold. You know, but it was up in this area, as well. I think that the weather pattern sorta changed.
I would say late '70s, '80s, where I think I remember -- sounds like I'm rattling, but --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: No.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Anyway, I remember the very last cold that we had when we were living in Northway. It -- it hung in there for a long time, and I remember this because, you know, it was coming up on Christmas and we didn't even have a Christmas tree yet.
We hadn't bought any gifts for the children. And my husband and his cousin were sent out to cut wood for some of the elderly people in the village, because the airport lodge had one vehicle that could run. It was in their garage and it could go out to the woodyard.
And so the owner made sure that the elders had wood to keep warm.
But I think I remember it hung in there for a long time because we didn't even go to Anchorage until, like, a couple days before Christmas and were able -- and then I bought an artificial tree and we've had one since then.
And so I think, you know, although we've had some cold weather, I don't think that it's lasted more than three weeks at a time since then. And back then I think it was so cold. I think what they say was probably hitting seventy wind chill factor.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah, that's cold. DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Yeah. How long did the trip to Anchorage take back then?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Probably not as long, because, you know, I mean I think it's the same kind of. We had a nice car and the roads -- the roads weren't terribly bad, so I would say from Northway to Anchorage -- well, it takes us six hours from Tok to Anchorage now. So I would say a good eight hours maybe.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: But something you could do maybe in a day?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm, yeah.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Did you go to Anchorage very often?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I think, you know, when we lived in Northway, this -- for some reason it was easier to go to Anchorage than it was to go to Fairbanks. I don't -- I don't know why that is.
But we went more to Anchorage than we did Fairbanks.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Hm. So when you were down in Northway, it must have -- was it a fairly large community then?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yes.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. There was. Yes, there was. Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And fairly close-knit? People helped each other, like you were saying? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And it's got quite small now.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. I think there, you know, there was still drinkin' and stuff. But I -- I don't think that it was as bad as it is nowadays, you know. And I'm not just saying Northway specifically.
DAISY NORTHWAY: It's all villages.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. And when -- when did you notice a change in that, Dor -- Daisy, or has it just been a slow and gradual thing?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I think it's been a slow and gradual thing, you know. You know other things came in, too, you know, drugs and, you know, the combination of both, you know, has -- is what destroyed a lot of our people.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. Yeah.
That's all my questions there. Did you teach your girls the beading?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No. She always thought it was too tedious. I tried.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Tried. Maybe the grandchildren will come and they'll want to learn?
DAISY NORTHWAY: My -- my one granddaughter had the privilege of living with my mother, so she's a very good beader. She can sew just like her grandmother when she sets her mind to doing it.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: How long did your mom live to then?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Pardon me?
LESLIE McCARTNEY: How old was your mum when she passed away then?
DAISY NORTHWAY: She was ninety-five.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Really. And you said she remarried?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes. She remained, I believe, single until I was, like, fifteen years old, then she remarried.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. And then did she live back around the Tok area again?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Yeah, she lived, you know, from Dot Lake to Fortymile.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah, right.
DAISY NORTHWAY: She worked there in Dot Lake for a long time. And I remember as a child we used to go to Fairbanks, I think, you know, (phone rings) somewhere along the line.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: You were saying your mom worked in Dot Lake.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah. She worked in Dot Lake and, I don't know -- I know that we went to Fairbanks. But, you know, I -- earlier I told you that she was adopted?
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Uh-huh.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh, so I think sometime in the prior years, I think she must have been either in her late twenties, early thirties, when her and her cousin-sister -- you know, in Indian our first cousins are our sisters --
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Sisters, yeah.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh. They found each other. Uh-huh. And her sister filled her in on information about the family that she came from and where my mother originally was born.
And so I think that's kinda what started some of the trips into Fairbanks.
And she also told us that we stayed somewhere there in Delta. I think it's past Delta out there on the flats where, you know, her aunt who had married a miner, you know, they had a house there. But I don't recall any of those things.
All I know is that I remember some of the things in Fairbanks. Like we went -- we went back down to the old village of Chena, and I remember going across the river to check the fishwheel with her uncle, you know.
I remember those -- that story, but nothing -- nothing else.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So she went back to Fairbanks because she had met more of her family there? DAISY NORTHWAY: Uh-huh.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And there was a reason to go?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah. Her biological family.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: -- family, right. That's interesting. Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: And then I met you when you were working with the tribal council in Northway. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: So how long did you work for the tribal council?
DAISY NORTHWAY: About ten years. I think it was just shy of ten years.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: When did you start working for them, Daisy?
DAISY NORTHWAY: In -- I wanna say 2002.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Oh.
DAISY NORTHWAY: I've not worked now for, I think five years, about five years.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So what were -- what was your job or your duties when you were working for tribal council?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I was the tribal administrator.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So what issues of the day did you have to deal with in those ten years?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Everything. I said if I had any brains at that time, I would have not taken the job.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Sorry! LESLIE McCARTNEY: It's okay.
DAISY NORTHWAY: I mean it was an interesting job and it eventually -- I think, you know, towards the end of my time there I -- I think it became better. Better, you know. But, you know, village politics is what it is.
And sometimes it can be very, very trying. And, I think, a lot of tears on my part.
And finally, I think I decided that I was not there to please everybody and anybody. That I only could do the best that I could do. And after I decided that, then my thinking became a little bit better and I was able to cope better with the people -- some of the people who were so very negative about everything and anything that we did.
You know, I didn't, you know, accomplish a whole lot of things, but what I did accomplish in my time there was that the whole place had been cleaned up. That they were grant-ready when I left.
They were able to -- you know, I reopened the doors to agencies that had closed their doors to Northway and I established -- what do you call, PR.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Hm mm. Trust?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I was able to go back and talk to many of the agencies and just kinda reopen the doors to those agencies that worked with Northway previously.
We cleaned up old grant reports and, you know, one of the best moves that I made, I think, was to hire an outside bookkeeper who helped me in the final years of my time there. To help me clean up. She still works for them.
You know, I tell them every now and then that they should hang onto her for as long as they can, because, you know, she's a -- she's a good bookkeeper and she's helped them out tremendously.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So when you went into the job, Daisy, did you have certain things that you wanted to accomplish in your time there?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes. I -- I think, you know, like I said, Indian politics being what it is there was a lot of dissension.
I wanted to see the commun -- community come back together and to be able to work together and to hold each other up in all areas, you know, because I, you know, to me I have not -- haven't lived there.
Like I said, we moved outta there in 1973. Personal reasons.
And at that time, I wasn't really payin' attention to village politics. I was focused on my work and trying to raise my children and keep a home.
So I was not focused or neither did I allow it to enter my life, you know, so it would not be a distraction to me. And my husband was involved. He was, you know, the chief of the village there for a time and was active in the beginnings of ANCSA as we know it today.
You know -- a lot of meetings that he had to travel to and stuff like that. But I just wanted -- I don't know, maybe continuity of the good things as we understand it, maybe, or as we seen it previously.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: What happened then if it was there previously? What happened that that kind of all went away?
DAISY NORTHWAY: I'm not entirely sure. I'm not entirely sure, and I -- I guess I don't want to open a can of worms.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Mm-hm. Okay. But you wanted to -- DAISY NORTHWAY: It's kinda hard a question, but -- LESLIE McCARTNEY: But -- but you wanted bring it back to -- DAISY NORTHWAY: To bring it LESLIE McCARTNEY: -- to back to what --
DAISY NORTHWAY: You know, I tried different things. You know, at Christmas time, you know, we had parties at the home where we had snacks and stuff and tried to encourage people to come in and make handmade ornaments for the community Christmas tree and that kind of stuff, you know. We tried to promote those kind of things.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And you feel that you've accomplished some of that?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Some of it. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Yeah.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: It's very hard to -- to try and build that back up again.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Yeah. You know, we worked -- some of the constitution had to be revisited, bylaws had to be updated, and all those things I think were accomplished.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Good.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. Maybe, you know, not the con--continuity of things but, you know, the important things were completed.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And the -- set -- set on the right track for that to maybe continue with someone else?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm. Like I said, they were grant-ready when I left.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Right. And now you're glad you're retired from there?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yes. Less stress. I am still very much involved in a lot of things. I haven't given up, you know, going to meetings and keepin' myself updated on the current events, you know.
And because I have a lot of people who call me still, you know, and ask for help, you know, because of my experience, you know.
Prior to working for Northway, before the United Crow Band closed down, I was there for ten years, as well. And I did a lot of social service work, so I -- I -- I knew, you know, and met a lot of people who meant anything to anybody.
I was a free agent, so I knew regulations and -- well, I guess I was jack of all trades, you know, master at none, but I knew enough to help people.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Open the doors and, you know, whatnot.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So you're still down for meetings. You say you still go down and keep involved in the meetings?
DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: Yeah. You on any boards or anything like that?
DAISY NORTHWAY: At the moment, I sit on the Interior Regional Housing Authority board and then I do some voluntary work for Interior Aleutians committee. I sit on their board as an elder representative. Hm mm.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: That's interesting.
DAISY NORTHWAY: And try to help out here and there. Wherever.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Sounds like you're keepin' busy.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Yeah, I like to keep busy. I -- I really don't have a whole lot to do. I sew a lot, you know, because it's what I do. You know, I enjoy doing it, so.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: And you go to various craft sales to sell? DAISY NORTHWAY: Mm-hm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: And mar -- Yeah, bazaars? Yeah.
DAISY NORTHWAY: Hm mm. Me and my niece, my husband's niece. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Uh-huh.
DAISY NORTHWAY: We -- we go to bazaars together. Hm mm. LESLIE McCARTNEY: Hm.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: That's all I had.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: That's all I had. Is there anything else, Daisy, that you think we missed, that's important for the stories of the communities?
DAISY NORTHWAY: No, I don't think so. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.
BARBARA CELLARIUS: Oh! This was great. No, no! This was great. It's great to -- to hear about your life growing up and some of the connections.
LESLIE McCARTNEY: So thank you very much, Daisy. We appreciate it. Thank you.


The Netherlands is to extend its participation in NATO's Operation Unified Protector by 3 months. This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Uri Rosenthal, and the Minster of Defence, Hans Hillen, on Wednesday 21 September. The Dutch contribution will continue to consist of a Dutch minehunter, 6 F-16s, two of which are held in reserve, and staff capacity.
The North Atlantic Council decided on 21 September to extend Operation Unified Protector in Libya. The mission is aimed at protecting the population, enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya and monitoring compliance with the arms embargo. The security situation is not yet stable enough for the mission to be concluded. Military deployment remains necessary in order to protect the civilian population. Periodic assessments will be made to establish whether the operation can be concluded sooner.
From Decimomannu air base in Sardinia, the Dutch F-16s are enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya. Besides patrolling Libyan airspace, they monitor the enforcement of the arms embargo and gather intelligence. The sensors on board the F-16s can be used to create a ground and sea picture, making it possible to check specific suspect objects, vehicles and ships.
HNLMS Vlaardingen patrols off the coast of Libya to enforce the arms embargo, by identifying and intercepting suspect vessels. The minehunter is also regularly deployed to keep the approach routes to, for instance, Misrata, Tripoli and Brega free from explosives.
In addition to the deployment of fighter aircraft and a minehunter, the Netherlands will also continue to be active in the staffs of various headquarters. Dutch military personnel are also part of the crews of NATO's AWACS aircraft. In total, some 170 Dutch military personnel are involved in Operation Unified Protector.


The fig_input.inx extension comes bundled with Inkscape and allows xfig files to be imported. However, this extension depends upon the fig2dev utility which is provided by the transfig Ubuntu package.
transfig is in the Ubuntu main repository, so I think it would be reasonable to add "Recommends: transfig" to debian/control.
Changed my mind about this... xfig imports aren't an essential component of Inkscape. Most people probably won't need them, so I think a "Suggests: " dependency should be adequate.

This collection consists of 177 posters from the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ) Records. Founded in 1964 by Jacob Birnbaum, SSSJ was a pioneer in the movement to oppose the persecution of Jews in the Soviet Union. Birnbaum believed a grass-roots organization of college students who came of age during the Civil Rights movement in the United States were more likely than their elders to engage in the tactics of open protest and civil disobedience. This cause eventually became a mainstream, worldwide movement, considered the most effective advocacy campaign by American Jewry in the 20th century, lasting until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and resulting in the emigration of over a million Soviet Jews.
In addition to copies of printed posters that served as publicity for the organization and its mission, this collection contains a large number of unique, hand drawn placards used by participants at protests and rallies in support of Soviet Jewry.
SSSJ viewed its mission in a historic context and invoked biblical imagery and language to dramatize its goals, which the posters reflect. Its mantra "Let my People Go" drew a direct connection between its campaign and the Biblical account of the Exodus from Egypt, from which the phrase was taken. The posters also document specific events that occurred and initiatives undertaken during the campaign, such as the Leningrad Trials, summits between Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev, and linking U.S.-Soviet trade policy with freedom for Soviet Jewry. Many of the posters spotlight individual "refuseniks", Soviet Jews who were refused exit visas, and then typically lost their jobs and were subjected to prison and internment in Soviet forced labor camps. The collection also includes posters from various other Soviet Jewry advocacy organizations that are contained in the SSSJ Records, and some that protest Arab violence and terrorism against Israel, which, in light of Soviet financial and political support for Arab countries, was viewed as part of the broader anti-Semitic policies of the Soviet Union.
This poster collection is part of the SSSJ Records held at Yeshiva University Archives. The finding aid for the parent collection, which contains over 250 linear feet of photographs, printed material, case files of Soviet Jews, administrative records, and audio and video recordings, can be found in Yeshiva's Finding Aids Database.

Reclaim the City activists occupy Rondebosch Golf Course over housing
29 February 2020 - 14:21 By TimesLIVE
Reclaim the City activists occupy Rondebosch Golf Club in Cape Town on March 21 2019.
Image: Reclaim the City
Activist group Reclaim the City said on Saturday that it had again taken over the Rondebosch Golf Course to protest against the City of Cape Town's failure to redistribute public land for the development of affordable housing.
It said that more than 300 activists from across Cape Town, including Woodstock, Sea Point, the BoKaap and Elsies River, had "peacefully occupied this exclusionary space to demand that the urgent housing needs of the many be prioritised over the enjoyment of the few".
The movement occupied the golf course on Human Rights Day last year, demanding that the land be used for affordable housing for poor and working class people. This was after the release of a research report that the movement said exposed how the city was "disposing of the well-located public land that it owns by leasing it to private organisations at vastly discounted amounts for inefficient, exclusive and unsustainable uses".
In a statement on Saturday, Reclaim the City said: "The city has invited the public to comment on its plans to renew the lease of a piece of prime city-owned land to the Rondebosch Golf Club at a nominal rental of R1,058 per year. The city plans to renew the lease, which dates back to 1937, for an additional 10 years. In the face of the worst housing affordability crisis in the country, the renewal of the lease effectively amounts to the city subsidising a wealthy few at the expense of poor and working-class families that remain locked out of land markets. This is public land, that should be used to address our city's apartheid legacy."

'Where Are We Going, Dad?' star Sean Zhang revealed to have divorced wife two years ago
Sean and Chinese model Kou Jing called it quits after 12 years of marriage.
By Toh Zi Yi
Posted:02 Dec 2019 16:11 Updated:21 Jan 2020 16:17
Chinese model-actor Sean Zhang and his son, Zhang Yue Xuan, nicknamed Tian Tian, became an instant hit with the public after appearing in the first season of popular reality show Where Are We Going, Dad? in 2013.
Sean and his wife, Chinese model Kou Jing, also have a daughter, who was born in 2015. Sean regularly updates his Weibo with pictures of his two kids, with his most recent post celebrating Yue Xuan's 12th birthday.
Last Friday (Nov 29), the 37-year-old made a shocking announcement on Weibo, announcing that he and Kou Jing had actually parted ways in 2017 after 12 years of marriage.
"I originally did not want to make this news public, but I still have to inform everyone of my current situation," he wrote. "Kou Jing and I officially divorced in 2017. It was only due to differing opinions when it came to our family, and we are still co-parenting our kids. I hope that everyone will not jump to conclusions."
It is understood that Sean and Kou Jing first met in 2003, after being introduced to each other through a mutual friend. After registering their marriage in 2005, Kou Jing left the modelling industry to focus on their family, and she gave birth to Yue Xuan in 2007. The couple held an official wedding ceremony in 2011.
However, Sean's announcement has stirred up doubt amongst netizens, who shared that in August this year, the model-actor was still sharing anecdotes about his relationship with Kou Jing on television.
Another netizen also posted pictures of a man and woman in a jewellery shop, claiming that they had come across Sean and an unidentified woman picking out diamond rings together in October this year. They then speculated that Sean chose to disclose his split from Kou Jing as he intends to remarry soon. Sean has yet to reply to any of these speculations at press time.

Apple Valley, CA, U.S.
Trained in classical piano from age 9-14, Landon Cripe showed a talent for music, having won a very competitive Bach festival at age 12. After watching the movie Back To The Future where Marty McFly plays Johnny B Goode at the school dance, he decided he wanted to play guitar and never looked back. After a difficult time in his teens, music was put on hold, and after graduating high school, he began using drugs and alcohol heavily for the next 15 years. Then in 2012, Landon was admitted into a rehab facility, where he began the process of getting clean and sober. In 2015 Landon recorded a song on his own at DiCarlo Studios in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, with Dylan Roy on drums. It was a song he wrote for his then girlfriend Holly, which later got the attention of Ronnie Winter-Defoe of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus when Landon played him the song at a chance meeting. Landon soon after formed a band called Minor Rockstar with friend Dustin Bebon, with Ronnie producing and playing drums on the record. They recorded an EP with Ronnie and Angela Winter-Defoe, Ronnie's wife. Minor Rockstar toured with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for 3 years in a row, opening for the headlining band on their California and Las Vegas shows, often with Ronnie playing drums. After parting ways with Dustin Bebon, Landon Cripe continued writing and recording songs on his own and with friends.

Now That You Mention It by Kristan Higgins, narrated by Xe Sands
Publisher Summary:
A funny and bittersweet story of a woman who returns to her hometown after a decade's absence hoping to resuscitate her relationship with her family, only to discover that her homecoming is not as welcome as she had imagined.
It's been over a decade since Nora left her hometown of Scupper Island, Maine, and very seldom looked back. She's carved out a successful life in Boston where no one knows her as the awkward girl with the delinquent sister and the dad who left, but a not-as-dramatic-as-it-sounds brush with death has her taking stock of her life. Inspired to reconnect with her prickly mother and snarky teenage niece, Nora returns home for the summer, where she's forced to face the people she's spent the last ten years trying to avoid, and where some revelations about her family could either heal her, or send her scrambling back to Boston on the next ferry.
Victim Six by Gregg Olsen, narrated by Corey M. Snow
The bodies are found in towns and cities around Puget Sound. The young women who are the victims had nothing in common-except the agony of their final moments. But somebody carefully chose them to stalk, capture, and torture . . . a depraved killer whose cunning is matched only by the depth of his bloodlust. But the dying has only just begun. And the next victim will be the most shocking of all…
The Forgotten 500 by Gregory A. Freeman, narrated by Patrick Lawlor
The astonishing, never-before-told story of the greatest rescue mission of World War II-when the OSS set out to recover more than 500 airmen trapped behind enemy lines…
During a bombing campaign, hundreds of American airmen were shot down in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia. Local Serbian villagers risked their own lives to give refuge to the soldiers, and for months the airmen lived in hiding, waiting for rescue.
In 1944, Operation Halyard was born. The risks were incredible. The starving Americans in Yugoslavia had to construct a landing strip-without tools, without alerting the Germans, and without endangering the villagers. And the rescue planes had to make it through enemy airspace and back-without getting shot down themselves.
Classified for over half a century for political reasons, the full account of this unforgettable story of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and bravery is now being told for the first time. The Forgotten 500 is the breathtaking, behind-the-scenes look at the greatest escape of World War II.

Imposter by LJ Ross, narrated by Hugh Dancy
After an elite criminal profiling unit is shut down amid a storm of scandal and mismanagement, only one person emerges unscathed. Forensic psychiatrist Doctor Alexander Gregory has a reputation for being able to step inside the darkest minds to uncover whatever secrets lie hidden there and, soon enough, he finds himself drawn into the murky world of murder investigation.
In the beautiful hills of County Mayo, Ireland, a killer is on the loose. Panic has a stranglehold on its rural community and the Garda are running out of time.

Suttree by Cormac McCarthy, narrated by Richard Poe
Four murders. Two detectives. One mystifying crime.
On Christmas Eve, DCI Mackenzie Jones is called to a shooting at a remote farmhouse. Ralph Mallender believes his father lies dead inside. When three more bodies are discovered, it's clear a festive family gathering has turned into a gruesome tragedy.
At first it seems like an open and shut case: a murder-suicide committed by Ralph's volatile brother Cameron. Then new evidence makes Mack suspect the man who reported the crime is in fact the perpetrator.
But Mack isn't the only one with a stake in the case. Private investigator Atticus Priest has been hired to get Ralph acquitted. That means unearthing any weaknesses in Mack's evidence.
Irascible, impatient, and unpredictable, Atticus has weaknesses of his own. Mack knows all about them because they share a past-both professionally and personally. This time round, however, they aren't on the same side. And as Atticus picks at the loose ends of the case, everything starts to unravel in a way neither of them could ever have predicted…
Deep in the Valley by Robyn Carr, narrated by Therese Plummer
Nicole Cutty and Megan McDonald are both high school seniors in the small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina. When they disappear from a beach party one warm summer night, police launch a massive search. No clues are found, and hope is almost lost until Megan miraculously surfaces after escaping from a bunker deep in the woods.
A year later, the bestselling account of her ordeal has turned Megan from local hero to national celebrity. It's a triumphant, inspiring story, except for one inconvenient detail: Nicole is still missing. Nicole's older sister Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon Nicole's body will be found, and it will be up to someone like Livia to analyze the evidence and finally determine her sister's fate. Instead, the first clue to Nicole's disappearance comes from another body that shows up in Livia's morgue that of a young man connected to Nicole's past. Livia reaches out to Megan for help, hoping to learn more about the night the two were taken. Other girls have gone missing too, and Livia is increasingly certain the cases are connected.
But Megan knows more than she revealed in her blockbuster book. Flashes of memory are coming together, pointing to something darker and more monstrous than her chilling memoir describes. And the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terror lies in finding exactly what you've been looking for.

Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind by Joe Dispenza, DC, narrated by Sean Runnette
Joe Dispenza, DC, has spent decades studying the human mind—how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. In the acclaimed film What the Bleep Do We Know!? he began to explain how the brain evolves—by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the psyche.
Evolve Your Brain presents this information in depth, while helping you take control of your mind, explaining how thoughts can create chemical reactions that keep you addicted to patterns and feelings—including ones that make you unhappy. And when you know how these bad habits are created, it's possible to not only break these patterns, but also reprogram and evolve your brain, so that new, positive, and beneficial habits can take over.

The Journey of Crazy Horse by Joseph Marshall, narrated by Joseph Marshall
Most of the world remembers Crazy Horse as a peerless warrior who brought the U.S. Army to its knees at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But to his fellow Lakota Indians, he was a dutiful son and humble fighting man who-with valor, spirit, respect, and unparalleled leadership-fought for his people's land, livelihood, and honor. In this fascinating biography, Joseph M. Marshall, himself a Lakota Indian, creates a vibrant portrait of the man, his times, and his legacy.
Thanks to firsthand research and his culture's rich oral tradition (rarely shared outside the Native American community), Marshall reveals many aspects of Crazy Horse's life, including details of the powerful vision that convinced him of his duty to help preserve the Lakota homeland-a vision that changed the course of Crazy Horse's life and spurred him confidently into battle time and time again.
The Journey of Crazy Horse is the true story of how one man's fight for his people's survival roused his true genius as a strategist, commander, and trusted leader. And it is an unforgettable portrayal of a revered human being and a profound celebration of a culture, a community, and an enduring way of life
A Wicked Snow by Gregg Olsen, narrated by Karen Peakes
Hannah Griffin was a girl when tragedy struck. She still remembers the flames reflected against the newly fallen snow and the bodies the police dug up-one of them her mother's. The killer was never found…
Twenty years later Hannah is a talented CSI investigating a case of child abuse when the past comes hurtling back. A killer with unfinished business is on the hunt. And an anonymous message turns Hannah's blood cold:
Your Mom called…
81 Days Below Zero by Toula Vlahou, Brian Murphy narrated by Richard Ferrone
The untold story of Leon Crane, the only surviving crew member of a World War II B-24 crash on a remote mountain near the Arctic Circle, who managed to stay alive 81 days in sub-zero temperature by making peace with nature, and end his ordeal by walking along a river to safety.
Part World War II story, part Alaskan adventure story, part survival story, and even part inspirational story, this is what we call 'a good read.' This is the first full length retelling of Crane' s incredible survivalist story. It has been noted in magazines and in story collections over the years: most notably, just after the war ended, Crane's story was included in a book aptly titled, The 100 Best True Stories of World War II, and in the 1970s, the story was a part of John McPhee's hot-selling collection of Alaskan survival tales, Coming into the Country.
The author suggests that we think Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild 'meets' Alfred Lansing's Endurance. I would suggest that we also think Dick Proenneke's Alone in the Wilderness 'meets' Slavomir Rawicz's The Long Walk. These meetings can go on and on; but there are some very impressive WWII survival stories that have become bestselling books– even with previously 'untold' and 'unknown' stories, like Crane's

Published on Montreal Children's Hospital (https://www.thechildren.com)
Home > Miracle at The Children's: Five month old defies the odds
Monday, June 8, 2009 - 15:23
His heart was failing, it was nearly dead, the baby was put on a heart lung machine, then on an artificial heart and then...His heart started to work again!
Montreal – June 12 2009: The parents of five month old Panagiotis Baltzis came to the ER of The Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH) of the McGill University Health Centre on December 18, 2008. Their son wasn't putting on weight or growing. Although this was concerning they were not overly worried about his health.
You can imagine the shock Nadia Valerio and Athanasios Baltzis had when the pediatric cardiologist who examined their infant told them little Panagiotis was seriously ill and potentially in imminent danger of dying.
"When we heard this, we thought the doctor was mixing us up with another family. We asked the doctor if he had the right parents because there wasn't anything seriously wrong with our son," recalls Nadia.
Little did they know their son was suffering from acute congestive heart failure. His little heart was pumping like crazy, 230 beats per minutes – almost twice the normal rate.
Baby's pulse was 230 beats per minute
"When they arrived at our ER, Panagiotis' life was hanging by a thread," says Dr. Charles Rohlicek, an MCH cardiologist and one of the first people to examine the boy. "Basically, if his heart deteriorated any further he would die within a few hours or for sure within a few days."
Panagiotis was admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. He was intubated and on strong medications to control his heart rhythm.
The first order of business was to support the child to keep him alive, the second was to try to figure out what was wrong with his heart. There were four possibilities: his heart muscle was simply not working properly, he had a viral infection that was attacking his heart, he had a problem with his coronary arteries, or he had heart arrhythmia, a problem with the electrical circuitry of his heart. This last option was the least likely.
After a few days in the PICU, under 24-hour supervision, the specialists were able to rule out a viral infection. Doctors came to the conclusion he actually had a heart rhythm abnormality, his heart was beating too quickly, and exhausting itself.
On January 2, 2009, the little guy took a turn for the worse. His heart deteriorated and its rhythm was in the danger zone, the lethal zone. "We were concerned he would die imminently," says Dr. Sam Shemie. "We approached the family with two options, either we let the little guy go, or we put him on an advanced extracorporal life support system (ECLS). Unfortunately, we had no time to spare. We gave Mr. And Mrs. Five minutes to make a decision."
Expertise of staff in PICU put to the test
Despite the risks associated with ECLS, the parents opted for this therapy for their son. One of the main complications of ECLS is bleeding, especially bleeding in the patient's brain. At the same time, Panagiotis was placed on the ECLS, he was also placed on the transplant list. While there was still a small chance that his heart would recover, his health team was increasingly certain he would need a heart transplant.
"Because of the bleeding, a patient can only be on an ECLS for so long. Basically, you keep going as long as you can until you run in to a complication. You hope the new heart shows up before the complication," says Dr. Rohlicek.
The transplant team at the MCH was put on 24-hour standby ready to collect a donor heart from anywhere in North America. But the staff also knew full well the chances of finding a donor heart that was small enough for a five-month old child were very slim.
As the hours, moved in to days, Panagiotis was doing okay on the ECLS. He was in stable condition. It should be noted that ECLS is very labour intensive. A whole team of MCH and MUHC Perfusionists were monitoring the child around the clock. However, ECLS is the recognized standard of care in this type of case.
Time kept elapsing, the team knew Panagiotis couldn't remain on the ECLS indefinitely, but unfortunately, no donor heart was available.
Making the bold step to the Berlin Heart
The team treating Panagiotis was now burgeoning. There were about 50 different doctors, nurses, specialists, social workers, child life specialists working with the little boy and his family. The specialists held a conference to develop a new course of action. With the parent's consent, they decided to take Panagiotis off the ECLS and put him on a Berlin Heart.
"It should be noted, that a Berlin Heart is still considered experimental. It is not considered standard therapy," says Dr. Christo Tchervenkov. "It is a pretty bold step to move to a Berlin Heart, especially in an infant. There is barely any literature on a mechanical heart being implanted in such small child."
Scrapper survives implant surgery but has one way ticket to heart transplant
Panagiotis survived the surgery. The health team had bought him some time. He could easily live on the Berlin Heart for months. But a Berlin Heart in a small infant is generally seen as a one-way ticket to a heart transplant. Once the mechanical heart is implanted there is no going back.
"When a mechanical heart is implanted, a big tube is put through the patient's heart," explains Dr. Renzo Cecere. "The heart suffers significant damage. Which means a heart transplant remains the only viable option for the patient's long term survival."
Well, that is what the doctors thought at least.
The infant was doing well on the Berlin Heart. There were no complications. At this point it was a waiting game. One week slipped by and then two. Still no heart.
But doctors started to notice something rather odd. Panagiotis' heart had started to squeeze again. Basically, he had two heartbeats: the Berlin Heart and his own.
Good, but unexpected news. This simply is not supposed to happen. His heart was supposed to be non recoverable. But there it was squeezing away. But was it strong enough? Could it pump enough blood all on its own? There were a lot of questions and no easy answers.
The specialists had to figure out if the boy's heart could sustain him, but they could only turn the Berlin Heart down to 40% of output. Would his heart be able to pick up the slack?
Flying by the seat of their pants
There is no accepted protocol for how to do this; there were few reports of an infant child being successfully weaned from a Berlin Heart. But things did look good. His heart was pumping blood.
"Sometimes, you can't go by the book, because the book hasn't even been written," says Dr. Rohlicek. "But thanks to the expertise found in a quaternary and tertiary care hospital such as The Montreal Children's, the team can make an educated guess based on their past experience."
The trouble with this educated guess was: what if the doctors were wrong? They wouldn't simply be able to hook Panagiotis up to the Berlin Heart again. He either had to stay on the mechanical heart and wait for a donor heart, or he had to be taken off the Berlin Heart and hope his heart would bounce back in to action.
After consulting Panagiotis' family the team decided to make the leap of faith, remove the Berlin Heart and cross their fingers to see if the little guy's heart would pick up the slack.
On January 24, the Berlin Heart was removed. To everyone's surprise and delight, his heart was able to beat on its own and with sufficient strength that the little Panagiotis could be removed from all forms of life support.
The infant woke up on January 29, and his mother was once again able to hold him in her arms. During this whole ordeal, the little guy had two teeth emerge and grew an inch. He was alert and seemed to have escaped neurological damage.
He goes home on February 19. In front of a dried up Christmas tree his family celebrates a late Christmas.
The team at The Montreal Children's Hospital will continue following this little boy very closely. A few times, already his little heart began to beat at an alarmingly fast rate. But drugs are now controlling his arrhythmia. He'll have to undergo several tests to try to monitor the electrical problem with his little heart. Ultimately he will undergo an electrophysiological intervention in the cardiac catheterization laboratory at The Montreal Children's Hospital to eliminate the problem permanently.
On June 29th, Panagiotis will celebrate his first birthday. A milestone for him and a milestone for his parents and a milestone for the team at The Montreal Children's Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre.
From everyone at The Montreal Children's Hospital - Happy Birthday Panagiotis!

At one point the disparity in yards was 191-0. The most noise the Sooners mustered in the early going was when linebacker Kenneth Murray talked trash with the Alabama bench — with his team trailing by three touchdowns.Saban wasn't ready to relax, though, spiking his headset during one of his several sideline tirades. And sure enough, the Sooners mounted a rally, closing to within 11 points three times in the final 18 minutes.

Based on the novel by John Katzenbach, author of Just Cause (1995), this prison camp drama combines elements of A Soldier's Story (1984) and the classic Stalag 17 (1953). Colin Farrell stars as Lt. Tommy Hart, a second-year Harvard Law School student who enlists to fight in World War II but ends up being taken prisoner by the Germans. When a murder at the Nazi-run Stalag Luft 13 leaves a black Tuskegee airman named Lt. Lincoln Scott (Terrence Dashon Howard) accused of the crime, high-ranking prisoner (and fourth-generation war hero) Col. William McNamara (Bruce Willis) persuades camp commandant Col. Werner Visser (Marcel Iures) to allow the prisoners to hold their own trial. Hart is recruited to defend his fellow officer, but as he reluctantly investigates, he discovers that not all of his fellow allied soldiers are fighting the same war and that his "client" may well have been framed. In the meantime, it becomes apparent that McNamara is using events to mask his true intent, a mission to destroy a nearby munitions plant that he still intends to carry out despite his incarceration. Hart's War (2002) co-stars Vicellous Shannon, Cole Hauser, Rory Cochrane, and Jonathan Brandis. Karl Williams, Rovi Read Less

Gambling Ghost is what remains of a man obsessed with dice. He would not let such a small thing like death keep him from his passion. This is (was?) no mere hobby. Quite possibly the writer of the Diary of a Dice Collector. He can be found at the fairytale ruins outside the village of Murky Waters in Chapter IV (see Notes below).
When the witcher first meets the ghost, the latter exclaims "Geralt of Rivia himself... you're renowned in the ghost world." It seems our hero's reputation knows no bounds.
If Geralt chose Triss to be Alvin's guardian in Chapter III, then he has to rescue Alvin from the Gambling Ghost, either through a fight or by beating him at a game of dice. If he does not kill the wraith to save Alvin, he has the choice to either let him live and keep him as a poker opponent, or send him to the great beyond.
During the Alvin quest, the option to save Alvin from the Gambling Ghost by playing poker is only available if the Dice Poker: The Sharper quest is not yet complete. If Geralt has already beaten three sharpers, only the fight option remains.
Killing the Gambling Ghost nets Geralt 200 in addition to the XP.
If you left Alvin with Triss in Chapter III, the Ghost will not appear above his skeleton until you advance the Alvin quest to the point after you are told to give him the amulet.
