Steeped in history, Tim’s Shipwreck Diner in Northport has served the community, in various incarnations, for nearly a century.
“The diner was a former dining car from an old trolley. It was literally rolled down Main Street to this spot in 1924,” says owner Tim Hess, who adds that the trolley car made the trip from Worcester, Massachusetts by way of the Northport Long Island Rail Road station.
Hess, who still resides in the same house he grew up in in East Northport, recalls that his father, Otto, bought the diner in 1972, for around $35,000. Tim bought the diner, known then as the Northport Diner, from his dad, who was ready to retire in 1996.
Located on Main Street just yards from Northport Harbor, the diner has the look and vibe of a town square establishment where the patrons know the owner and vice versa. Inside, numerous photos depicting Northport history hang on the wall beside nautical-themed memorabilia.
Diner patron Maurice Freedman wrote on the diner’s Facebook page that Tim’s is “classic and charming…a wonderful part of the Northport experience.”
For Hess, 64, the diner has been at the center of his life since age 13, when he began working as a dishwasher and then eventually took over as head cook while attending the New York Institute of Technology’s culinary school at night.
“This is the only place I’ve ever worked,” he says, adding that he continues to work almost every day cooking many of the diner’s specialties, such as a standout Reuben sandwich, homemade blintzes taken from a recipe from his mom, and skirt steak, fresh turkey, and some of the best corned beef around.
In all, Hess employs about six cooks who all have their own specific jobs, from expediting to preparing specific dishes such as eggs and pancakes.
“Everything we have here is made fresh,” Hess says. “We don’t have any freezers because all my food comes in every day…we use the 5-day rule where anything that comes in Monday has to be out by Friday.”
He explains that in more than 25 years, “I know how much tuna fish I’m going to go through. Blintzes are big sellers…we sell about 25 per day on weekends.” Other specialties include homemade corn bread and jam made from fresh blackberries, strawberries and blueberries.
Hess compares the Northport Harbor area to a vacation spot and says the people in the village are “some of the nicest and most supportive anywhere.”
The diner is very personal to Hess. “I know everybody who comes in here,” he says, as several customers walk out and say goodbye.
“Northport is an area where everyone comes to hang out or party, from millionaires to working people,” he says, pointing to a row of seats near the front counter.
Hess, who donates money and time to various local organizations in the village, including the historical society, jokes with both employees and regular customers as he recalls the diner’s long history in the area.
And while Hess has changed little in the diner over the years aside from installing a spacious back patio, which came in handy during Covid, the now-defunct Food Network show American Diner Revival, hosted by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition star Ty Pennington, made some interior improvements to the railcar in 2014 with the help of dozens of local resident volunteers. The upgrades included new flooring, tables, seats, skylights and fresh paint.
Hess recalls that the makeover “was fun, business was packed…we had a great time.”
Asked about the early days of Covid, Hess says the diner was closed for about three months and there was little business. “We were all scared…and we all got it too,” he says.
Pointing to his spacious patio out back, Hess says that in the beginning of the pandemic, it was one of the only places to go in the area. “And for the summer, it’s a big hit.”
As for business now, aside from rising food costs that are affecting all restaurants, Hess says, “We’re killing it.”
On any given day, the diner is clearly very busy, with 15- to 20-minute waits not uncommon.
While the breakfast and lunch spot closes at 3 p.m. sharp, Hess says, they get a steady flow of customers even after that.
“At 3 p.m., every day, we have to turn them away.”
Tim’s Shipwreck Diner is located at 46 Main St. in Northport. It can be reached at 631-754-1797 or facebook.com/timsshipwreck.

LOL! A true boy! That's awesome!
The movie was good but I have to say that it should have come with a disclaimer: Only the names remain the same, all else has been changed in the interest of making a big bucks movie.
Usually the books are always better than the movie! It's rare that the movie is better than the book - but sometimes the movie can be fun on its own anyway. We want to see this movie. My son read and enjoyed the book too.
The movie was good, better than I expected, it just had almost nothing to do with the book. Seriously the names were the same and almost everything else was different.

The Biden administration promised to make sweeping changes to U.S. immigration policy in 2021, and the White House wasted no time in releasing several executive orders to reverse the direction of the previous administration.
While many of the changes have been focused on asylum seekers, removals and the treatment of migrant children, some of the orders will have a significant impact on international businesses and work visas as well.
Changes to H-1B visas
One of the Trump administration’s final actions was to replace the H-1B lottery with a system based on wages. Critics say this move would hurt foreign workers with less experience, as well as smaller U.S. companies.
While Biden did not revoke this order, he did delay this change by almost nine months. Additionally, the new administration took steps to make it easier for certain spouses and dependents of H-1B holders to work in the U.S. as well. Per-country visa caps were also removed. These changes offer some hope for H-1B visa holders, applicants and U.S. companies who seek to bolster their workforce with foreign talent in 2021.
Removing some financial barriers
In many ways, the Trump administration’s immigration policy favored higher-income foreign workers to lower-income ones. The Biden administration has made it clear that they aim to make visas more accessible to these lower-income applicants.
White House officials have stated that the new administration plans to re-evaluate the “public charge” rule, which has allowed consular officials to deny visas to applicants they believe would need to rely on public assistance such as food stamps. They also announced plans to reverse a Trump-era policy that denied visa applications from those they believed would be a burden to the U.S. labor market or health care system. These changes should make it easier for companies to bring in more foreign labor, regardless of income level.
Revoking “Buy American and Hire American” order
In 2017, the Trump administration signed the Buy American and Hire American order, which led to a steep increase in denials for visa applicants in the years to follow. The policy also made it more difficult for employers to request extensions of stay petitions for their workers.
On January 25, 2021, Biden revoked this executive order and replaced it with a new one, titled “Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.” This new order is meant to continue to support American business and U.S. workers while removing restrictions that led to so many denials for foreign workers over the past few years.
Future changes to immigration law
The Biden administration can only make so many changes to the immigration system through executive action. But future changes seem likely through legislative means.
Within his first days as president, Biden passed along his version of an immigration bill to Congress. The bill seeks to embrace diversity in immigration and strengthen our economy by streamlining the application process for employers and skilled workers. These changes depend largely on legislators, so it may be some time before the immigration system sees larger reform.

My Canon Rebel T6i and I are ready to capture the magical moments of life and turn them into everlasting memories. My passion is to capture moments.
La Luna deserved to come out in the first photograph. She is my soul-mate, always here for me, ready to listen without judging.
Capturing this dandelion, which I discovered in my patio was amazing! The dandelion is a very important and inspiring symbol for me. It is consider to be just “weed”, but in reality is a very strong plan. It is believed that when we blow the seeds from a dandelion and we make a wish this will come true. When a seed is blown by the wind or us, this seed is often not in control of the journey that lies ahead of it. Despite everything this seed will start growing again into a flower and once the life of the flower is over it will be full of more seeds and the cycle goes on and on.
The sea is the place I would love to live forever. It is a sanctuary, I deeply respect it and love to admire it. It is the only place where I can truly renew my life and the closest I feel to a god I call “Life”.
Arum lily is my favorite flower, it is elegant and not an easy one to grow since it requires a lot of patience, but once it is time for it to bloom it is a strong and lasting flower.
Music nourishes my heart and it is a way of externalizing my feelings and mood.

“Please shar3 and pass this story onto a friend or family member above!”
Thumbelina is a princess looking for her castle.
The rescue pet dog is on the hunt for the best for life family members after an active journey from Texas to New York City. Her tale begins outside Dallas, where Heart and also Bones– a foster-based rescue team operating out of Texas and New York City– took in the pooch after she was given up to Stone Creek Vet, a vet office in a backwoods outside Dallas.
” They promptly observed, she could not really use her front legs due to the fact that they’re flawed. They’re very short. She has paws, however she can’t truly utilize them the means a pet dog usually might utilize their front paws,” Allison Seelig of Hearts as well as Bones informs PEOPLE of what the veterinarian noticed after initial meeting Thumbelina. “So they thought that the reason she’s like that is probably untrustworthy breeding methods, and her legs should have been some kind of congenital disease that she was just born with.”
While Thumbelina’s former proprietor isn’t in an area to care for the dog, Heart and also Bones understands there is a person out there looking for a friend similar to this “super” unique requirements puppy. Estimated to be around one year old, Thumbelina had time to check out the world before meeting Hearts and Bones. During that time, the husky/German shepherd mix found out just how to get around with her much shorter front legs by walking on the backs of her paws. Sadly, a see to the vet exposed that Thumbelina’s self-taught method of strolling can cause unpleasant health and wellness issues in the future.
“She had been navigating generally just utilizing her back legs and also crawling on her front legs for a whole year as well as had obtained quite good at that. She’ll sit on her back legs, like a meerkat,” Seelig clarifies.
” She was great walking around by doing this. Yet our veterinarian companion was concerned that every one of that wear and tear on her front arms gradually could lead to injuries due to the fact that she’s not walking on paw-pads. She’s walking on hair. And afterwards also, it pitches her down at a strange angle so that she’s placing a lot of stress on her front body, and also they were fretted that over time that might cause spine issues for her,” the animal rescuer includes.
So in springtime, after Hearts as well as Bones absorbed Thumbelina, the rescue increased the money required to obtain the pup her very own warm pink mobility device that safely supports her as she uses her back legs to navigate. Thumbelina moved right into the Dallas home of Heart as well as Bones’ founder for a crash course in how to stroll with a wheelchair.
With this assistance, Thumbelina swiftly grasped her brand-new wheels as well as befriended numerous community canines while doing so. In very early August, once the rescue’s founder felt confident that Thumbelina can browse the globe with her wheelchair, Hearts and also Bones drove the dog from Texas– where several shelters are overwhelmed and also jammed– to New York City to prepare for adoption.
Upon showing up in NYC, Thumbelina relocated with pet dog foster Megan Penney– who thinks that Thumbelina is her 200th foster pooch. Penney is currently caring for the canine and also has only sweet things to claim concerning the pup, who has made even additionally strides in mastering her wheelchair as well as socializing with other dogs, consisting of Penney’s own pooches.
Thumbelina has actually been to the coastline, the park, the streets of New York City and also has charmed everyone she has fulfilled. Now she is waiting to meet her for life family members.
” I think she ‘d do terrific in any kind of residence as long as a person’s ready to be patient,” Seeling says, adding that Thumbelina’s adopters should be planned for the canine to be a little bit timid at first.
Penney, who recognizes what’s required to care for Thumbelina, includes that having an unique demands family pet is not as challenging as some believe. Thumbelina’s adopters should be able to raise 42 pounds– because the canine demands assist to get in and also out of her mobility device– as well as need to have a residence easily accessible by an elevator, ramp, or flat surface. Penney claims looking after Thumbelina is similar to caring for a pet dog with totally formed front legs outside of these factors to consider.
To prepare for her future home, Thumbelina recently took an unique trip to New York City’s Squeaky Clean Pet Grooming. Pride + Bridegroom, a pet care firm, covered her health facility day as well as additionally offered the items for the pet’s makeover. Amongst the products used was Pride + Groom’s The One Fur All conditioning hair shampoo, which was created to be contributed to animal saves and also shelters.
Thumbelina is currently completely prepared to start the following phase of her life with her for life household. Animal enthusiasts that think Thumbelina is the pup princess they’ve been waiting on can put on adopt her through the Hearts as well as Bones website.
The rescue really hopes that those not in the location to take on an animal today will certainly think about fostering an animal.
“Even if you can cultivate for a couple of weeks, you can actually save a canine’s life. Due to the fact that the sanctuaries do not have sufficient room to look after all the canines that require residences today. As well as the more people that register to foster, the less canines we have to have in shelters,” Seeling says. “And it gives them a better opportunity of discovering a forever home due to the fact that they are utilized to living in a residence at that point, and it’s really terrific to ease stress on the sanctuaries.”
“You just need to bear in mind, also your studio apartment is much better than a concrete kennel in a pet shelter,” Penney adds.

The line was open, so Crete-Monee dialed long distance Friday against Rich South to end its regular season on a high note.
The host Warriors' third-quarter barrage from beyond the arc turned a five-point halftime deficit into a double-digit lead during a 65-52 victory against Rich South.
"It's a game of runs, and guys were in the right spots at the right time," said Illinois-bound guard Michael Orris, who had four 3-pointers. "When we go inside-out and there are open 3s, we're pretty good at knocking them down."
Six of the Warriors' eight third-quarter baskets were 3s, as Orris, Marvie Keith and Marius Hopkins (11 points) hit two apiece. Back-to-back Keith 3s capped a 13-3 burst to open the half, and three consecutive 3-pointers moments later earned the Warriors (18-7, 7-3) a 47-35 cushion with a minute left in the quarter.
The open perimeter shots were there in part because of an effective inside game in the first half that forced Rich South to foul, resulting in the Warriors' 13-for-15 showing from the free-throw line.
The Stars (19-8, 6-3) ate away more than half of a 15-point deficit, but Crete-Monee steadied itself down the stretch by spreading the floor to create open passing lanes.
"We've been working on that a lot in practice to show that we could finish a game strong," Keith said. "Coach (Tom Cappel) has been saying we need to play all four quarters, and we did tonight."
Player of the game: Michael Orris, Crete-Monee, 17 points, 4 3-pointers.
Key performers: Crete-Monee — Marvie Keith, 19 points; Laquon Treadwell, 12 points, 8 rebounds. Rich South — John Ruffin, 17 points, 10 rebounds.

Days after his arrest, PTI Chairman Imran Khan and his spouse’s phones have been sent for forensic examination on Friday, sources said.
They went on to add that the police confiscated two mobile phones and a satellite phone when the police arrived at Khan’s residence in Lahore on August 5 to arrest him after he was slapped with a five-year disqualification and three-year prison term in the Toshakhana criminal case.
The data recovered from the phones will help in filing charges against the former prime minister in various cases in which investigations are underway.
The latest development came soon after reports emerged that the personal diary of former first lady Bushra Bibi has fallen into the hands of law enforcement agencies.
The diary reportedly revealed PTI’s plans to mount pressure on the judiciary, establishment and government.
TV host and columnist Javed Chaudhry claimed he had seen the diary himself. It contains several entries about a “Mamo” (uncle), which is probably a reference to Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, he said speaking to private-run Samaa TV.
The entries in the diary being attributed to Bushra Bibi suggest she used to give what is being dubbed as “political dictation” to the PTI chairman.
Reports aired on TV channels said the diary detailed plans to mount pressure on the government, the establishment, and the judiciary.
She was making decisions on the political strategy of the PTI and Khan was following her instructions, the reports claim. “The former prime minister was under complete control of Bushra Bibi.”
There are plans about locking down the city and discussion about the governor’s rule.

|The Greatest American Hero: The Complete Series (1981)
Starring: William Kaat, Robert Culp, Connie Sellecca, Don Cervantes
The setup was brilliant: Mild-mannered schoolteacher Ralph Hinkley (played by the soon-for-Cinemax William Katt) is abducted by aliens who bestow upon him a suit which gives its wearer a whole bunch of cool superpowers. The suit comes with a manual, which – and here’s the genius twist – Hinkley promptly loses in the middle of the desert.
An unwilling superhero who isn’t even sure how to use his powers? Gold, Jerry. Gold. And from 1981 to 1983, it was just another of the many hits flowing from the fertile mind of series creator Stephen J. Cannell (also known as the guy who brought you “The Rockford Files,” “Hunter,” “The A-Team,” “21 Jump Street,” and literally dozens of other shows).
Naturally, this being television (not to mention the ‘80s), the gap between concept and execution would eventually prove to be fairly significant; Cannell’s efforts to use the show as a platform for (relatively) adult entertainment were quickly thwarted by network executives who wanted to pursue a safer, younger crowd. Thus was Ralph Hinkley, by series’ end, reduced to chasing genetically engineered Nazi monsters through sewers.
It’s difficult to bemoan the dumbing down of a concept that was never really meant to be taken all that seriously in the first place. That being said, “The Greatest American Hero’s” downward arc is a compelling argument for the widespread channel expansion that occurred not long after the show’s demise. The three major networks had forgotten how to entertain their audience; even when given popcorn, they couldn’t resist adding cheese.
Much of what was popular in the ‘80s hasn’t aged particularly well, including a lot of hit television series, and “Greatest American Hero” is no exception – broad swaths of the show are just as broad and corny as you’d expect, and you’re periodically reminded of how much easier it must have been to write an action/adventure script when the Red Menace was still regarded as a serious threat.
Still, the whole thing works more often than not, and the chemistry between stars Katt, Robert Culp, and Connie Sellecca manages to transcend many of “Hero’s” more ill-advised moments; sets like these often make you question what the hell you were thinking when you tuned in the first time around, but in this case, nostalgia will likely outweigh buyer’s remorse.Originally issued in three single-season sets, this deluxe box arrives packaged in a tin case, and comes along with a sticker, cape (along with a helpful warning that it “does not guarantee the power of flight”) and battery-powered replica of the suit’s manual. Extras include a series of entertaining (if often painfully earnest) interviews with Cannell, Katt, Culp, Sellecca, and Michael Paré.

On Thursday, the actress suited up in long sleeves and slacks and reported to the Boston set of her new cop buddy comedy The Heat on an appropriately steamy summer day. (Temperatures climbed to the upper-80s, according to local reports.)
The movie costars Oscar-nominee Melissa McCarthy, and is being directed by Paul Feig, who helmed Bridesmaids. It’s about an FBI agent who teams up with a local Boston police officer to take down a Russian mobster.
According to local reports, Bullock was spotted in Dudley Square outside an old police station, where filming is taking place.
The film is reportedly due out in April 2013.

Migrants are on the move!
Birders throughout New England are eagerly pulling out their binoculars, hitting the trails and keeping daily records of what birds they spot. Why all the excitement? This is peak time for spring migration in New England and those brightly colored Yellow Warblers, Baltimore Orioles, Scarlet Tanagers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and other avian beauties are arriving daily.
North America has over 650 species of breeding birds and more than half migrate each year. That’s a lot of birds!
Why do birds migrate?
Migrating birds are primarily looking for food and nesting locations.
In spring, birds that nest in the Northern Hemisphere tend to migrate north for the abundance of emerging insects, budding plants, seeds and the availability of nesting habitat. As the populations of insects and other food sources drops off in the fall, many species turn around and move south again. Although many believe that cold temperatures are what drive the birds to migrate, more often they are in need of food sources. If you only eat bugs, New England is not the place to be in December!
Here in Rhode Island, not only are we welcoming many migrating birds this time of year, but we are also watching others depart for their far northern nesting habitats, such as Harlequin Ducks, Common Goldeneyes, Bufflehead and Snowy Owls.
Although it is not completely understood, ornithologists and other scientists tell us that bird migration can be triggered by a combination of things: food supply, day length, temperature and the genetic makeup of a species can all play a roll.
"Bird migration is one of nature's most fascinating phenomena,” said Audubon Senior Director of Education Lauren Parmelee. “Now that it's spring, birders are waiting and watching to catch sight of the first of each species as it arrives. The blackbirds, American Woodcock, Osprey and Great Egrets have returned and more are on their way. At the same time we are saying goodbye to the scoters, mergansers and loons who are moving north to nest."
How Far do They Travel?
Not all birds travel the same distance during migration, and here in New England we have many species like the Northern Cardinal that endure the winter weather and are permanent residents. Others may travel through only a few states to reach more stable food sources, and then there are species that travel long distances and winter in Central and South America. While food may be the primary goal for short-distance migration, long-distance patterns are more complex and scientists believe these to be controlled at least partially by the genetics of the various species.

Last week, the federal government announced a $26 billion settlement with the banks responsible for the 2008 mortgage collapse. The deal seeks to provide relief to millions of homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes.
The banks-Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial-must provide this compensation for their roles in the real estate mega-fraud known as “robo-signing” and other abusive practices.
Under the settlement, achieved thanks to the insistence of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, New York will receive $790 million. The attorney general will distribute $136 million in upcoming weeks to nonprofits that offer legal advice to homeowners on the brink of foreclosure. This is a much-needed monetary injection given recent cuts in state funding that have put the operations of legal aid groups in jeopardy.
The balance, $654 million, will be earmarked for refinance programs, loan modifications and payments to victims of wrongful foreclosures. The banks will administer the money, and have six to nine months to determine who is eligible for compensation, and up to three years to meet their obligations.
Although Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac manage $30 million in mortgages, their loans are not covered by this settlement.
This settlement is only a light scolding for the large banks, whose greed ruined the finances of almost eight million families in the United States.
In New York, one out of every 10 families has been affected by the predatory practices of these banks. The majority of those who have lost or are at risk of losing their homes are African American or Hispanic, as El Diario highlighted in a series about foreclosures in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Families who are at risk of foreclosure must seek legal advice and contact their banks to find out whether they’re eligible for compensation. Unfortunately, we must emphasize that this settlement will only provide relief to a small segment of the millions who have been affected.
It is critical that the Obama administration assign resources needed for the recently announced working group to investigate mortgage-backed securities, led by Schneiderman, to fully do its work. The only way to obtain some measure of justice is to continue investigating deceptive practices by financial firms.

Facebook user Nolan Daniels, put this picture of Facebook with the caption, “Looks like I won't be going to work EVER!!!! Share this photo and I will give a random person 1 million dollars!”
Soon after he posted the photo of himself holding a Powerball ticket that he claimed he’d won and was willing to share the bounty, people started sharing and liking his post, little realizing it was nothing more than a hoax and the lottery ticket in the picture, a fake. It's a fake, but that hasn't millions, yes millions of people from sharing the image in just a little over 24 hours.
People either didn’t know or didn’t bother to check before hitting the sharing button in a frenzy to win the promised million bucks. Had they noticed or checked, they would have spotted the forgery (so to speak), the first five numbers of Powerball tickets are always printed in numerical order.
Anyway, isn’t the human race supposed to know by now that anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is?

India's largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI) is hoping a conversation between the government and telecom sector over the Supreme Court's (SC) Rs 92,000 crore Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) issue.
India's largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI), is hoping for a conversation between the government and telecom sector over the Supreme Court's (SC) order of Rs 92,000 crore Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) to paid within the next three months.
Kumar, in an exclusive interview to CNBC-TV18 post the bank's second quarter ended September 30, 2019 results, said, "There will have to be a way out because it’s an important sector from India’s economy perspective. We are keeping the sector under watch but there is no immediate threat."
The government and the telecom companies were locked in a legal battle in a 14-year-old case over the definition of AGR, on the basis of which the telecom department calculates levies payable by companies. With its judgement, the apex court has exposed the incumbent telecom firms to potential demands by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) of Rs 92,000 crore.
The court has held that all revenues, except for termination fee and roaming charges, will be a part of the AGR. Telcos had argued that non-telecom, non-core revenues should not be a part of the AGR.
The amount of Rs 92,000 crore claimed by DoT as licence fee includes the principal amount, interest and penalties. Of the Rs 92,000 crore, Rs 21,682 crore is sought from Bharti Airtel.
Bharti Airtel said the company is deferring making its second quarter results public due Tuesday until November 14 as the company seeks more clarity on the Supreme Court’s verdict on the adjusted gross revenues (AGR).
He further said that no telecom company has approached the bank for restructuring their loans.
Talking on SBI's quarterly results, Kumar said the net interest margin is sustainable and we do see limited chances of decline hereon.
“It is difficult for the bank to operate on net interest margin lower than these margins. Around 3.20 is what we are looking at on consistent basis,” he added.
On external benchmark, he said, “It takes time for any reprising to happen even external benchmark related pricing will happen, will have some impact and when we meet for our asset liability management committee every month, we will review it.”
On loan growth, Kumar said, “We have sufficient pipeline where disbursements are pending or have not been availed and there are a couple of large ticket loans plus working capital loans where sanction limits are available. So as of now the utilization was, in the large corporate book, only about 31-32 percent. Second half being the business season the utilization will improve and that’s where the push from the corporate side will come.”
“We are not lowering our home loan target because in many cities we are finding that the demand is fairly okay,” Kumar added.
On stressed account front, he said, “As of now there is one account and it is a chunky account and when this loan was sanctioned it was AAA account.”
Speaking about Essar, he said, “Our recovery as per the resolution plan was Rs 11,000 crore which is fully provided for. If we have to share something out of it then I do not know how much will it be, but it may not have very huge impact because it’s a written off account."

Review by Frank Plowright
There’s no understating the importance of The Dandy and The Beano to both British comics history and popular culture, and 1987 publishers D.C. Thomson issued this well planned hardcover spanning highlights. If you take the spine as the title it reads The Dandy and the Beano – Fifty Golden Years, rather than the cover’s The First Fifty Years. Either alternative adequately conveys the content. In the late 1930s replacing much of the traditional text accompanied by illustration with comic strips revolutionised children’s publications. The Dandy was rapidly followed by The Beano, and by the 1950s D.C. Thomson published several other weekly anthologies with equally archaic names like Beezer, Topper and Sparky.
In hindsight the 1930s innovation from an always very conservative and traditional publisher seems uncharacteristic. Not a single writer or artist’s name is mentioned throughout the book, while pictures of celebrities are frequent, and pride in a congratulatory letter from then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is shown by allocating it a full page. Ignore the lack of credits, and this is an enlightening and fascinating skim through the comics’ history, and takes an admirably broad approach to inclusion. The star turns such as Dennis the Menace, Desperate Dan and the Bash Street Kids are given greater space, but not at the cost of entirely squeezing out lesser features. Articles contextualise the strips, placing them alongside historical events.
A strangely guileless editorial presence results in some questionable decisions. Fair enough that samples of World War II era strips reducing Hitler, Goering and Mussolini to knockabout comedy idiots are included, but should they have been accompanied by a large picture of Hitler and stooges giving the Nazi salute? On the one hand it’s nice to see Dudley D. Watkins’ great illustration of Desperate Dan holding up a dozen people, but even in 1987 some would have been considered racist caricatures. The inclusion of later disgraced celebrities among those professing their love for the comics was obviously beyond editorial control.
The obsessions of many strips even up to the 1970s reveal the past as a different country, but provide interesting social documentation, be it the continual threat of corporal punishment or the lives of others. All too often there’s a wish for more of the strips, Jack Prout’s delicately drawn Black Bob for one, and while the greats like Leo Baxendale and Ken Reid aren’t credited, they are present. The sample spread combines James Crighton’s neat cartooning for Dandy cover feature Korky the Cat, and the distinctive art of Eric Roberts illustrating Winker Watson’s school capers.
Both comics just about lasted long enough to merit collections celebrating 75 years, but the print editions now struggle, and it’s probably only a matter of time before they’re consigned to the past represented by this nostalgic memoir. It’s more a book for historians than kids now, who’ll not connect with the world presented.

Mom of Dartmouth teen who died in suspected overdose calls for better drug education
Joannie Harris wants youth to be better educated about the risks of using illicit drugs
When Miya Harris left home last Tuesday night to visit her best friend a few blocks away, she told her mom she'd be out late.
Her mom, Joannie Harris, watched the 15-year-old go without a worry. She said her daughter was a hard worker with "a real good head on her shoulders." She was dedicated to her rugby team, worked at McDonald's and kept her grades up as a student at Dartmouth High School.
Miya had mostly stayed inside since the start of the pandemic, Harris said, so she was glad to see her daughter making plans.
"I encouraged her to go out and have a little bit of fun. She was stuck in this house for weeks and weeks and hardly went out," Harris said.
It was sometime after midnight, Harris said, when police knocked on her door and took her to Leaman Drive, where Miya was being loaded into an ambulance.
Harris said she's since pieced together what happened after Miya said goodbye based on the accounts of her daughter's friends and the police.
She believes Miya and her best friend, another 15-year-old girl, both took MDMA (ecstasy), and both girls had seizures.
Miya died in Dartmouth General Hospital shortly after arriving there early Wednesday morning.
Cause of death will be determined with toxicology results
Miya's family suspects she died of an accidental drug overdose. Harris said she expects the results of toxicology testing will confirm that Miya took ecstasy, and that it was laced with an opioid such as fentanyl.
"It's a senseless, senseless tragedy," Harris said. "It didn't have to happen."
The family's suspicions have been circulating through the community, with individuals and drug safety advocates sharing warnings about a tainted drug supply on social media.
The Nova Scotia Health Authority responded to those concerns on Twitter this week, saying it had received community reports of opioid contamination in non-opioid illicit drugs.
Reports of tainted drugs haven't been confirmed yet
Amanda Hudson, co-ordinator for the take-home naloxone program with the NSHA, told CBC News in an email that none of those reports of opioid contamination have been confirmed by the medical examiner, law enforcement or toxicology.
But, she said, there's always the potential for any drug supply to be contaminated, adding that anyone using any substance in pill or powder format could be at risk.
Hudson recommended having naloxone, which blocks or reverses the effects of opioids, on hand, even when using drugs that aren't advertised as opioids. Information about where to get free naloxone kits in Nova Scotia is available online.
Calls for youth to learn about risks, safe use
Harris said she hopes her daughter's death and her family's grief will not be in vain.
"I just want kids to be more educated [about] what they're taking. That first time could be their last time ... I just want to be able to save somebody else," she said.
Matthew Bonn, a program coordinator with the Canadian Association of People Who Use Drugs, said youth should be learning more about safe drug use in school.
Bonn is an advocate for the harm-reduction approach, which aims to minimize the negative social and physical consequences of drug use, without stigmatizing users.
"Kids should be learning about safe drug use just like they do safe sex," Bonn said in an interview.
Bonn said he's visited many Nova Scotia schools to talk to students about his personal experience with drug use and to promote harm reduction. But he said those ad hoc visits, which last an hour or half a day, aren't enough.
"It kinda takes these superstar teachers that see the value of bringing people in with lived experience for kids to even get that little bit of information."


Global Fund and Cameroon Announce New Funding for HIV TreatmentListen /
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and Cameroon jointly announced that they are both significantly increasing their funding for antiretroviral drugs to meet the country's fast–growing HIV treatment needs.
The Global Fund has approved a $US 20 million grant agreement for HIV treatment while Cameroon said it will nearly double the amount for purchasing antiretroviral medicines in its annual budget, which will increase to $US 20 million in 2014 from $US 11 million.
The new joint funding initiatives, which make a big contribution to securing antiretroviral treatment for more than 120,000 people, were announced by Cameroon's Health Minister, Andre Mama Fouda, and by Lelio Marmora, the Global Fund's head for Africa and the Middle East, at a news conference in Yaoundé on Tuesday.
Mr. Marmora said "This new funding from the Global Fund and from Cameroon is going to make a real difference," adding "We warmly welcome the government's strong initiative in helping to put the procurement and supply of antiretroviral medicines on a strong footing."
Minister Fouda said Cameroon was strongly committed to sharing the cost with the Global Fund of funding a significant increase in the number of people living with HIV who receive anti-retroviral treatment in the country.

Michelle Williams — Crush of the Day
Just like yesterday’s “crush,” Emma Watson, Michelle Williams has found success after leaving a popular franchise.
The sexy and sophisticated 32-year-old actress became a household name during her six-season stint on ‘Dawson’s Creek’ from 1998 to 2003. After the show ended, Williams, who had a daughter with the late Heath Ledger. became something of a well-respected art house staple, earning critical acclaim for roles in films like ‘The Station Agent,’ ‘Wendy and Lucy,’ ‘Blue Valentine’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain.’
Williams recently played the most popular pinup in the world, Marilyn Monroe, in ‘My Week With Marilyn.’ She was nominated for a number of awards for her performance, as usual.
She’ll be seen next in 2013’s ‘Oz The Great and Powerful,’ directed by Sam Raimi and co-starring James Franco.

These events are funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
The culminating event of the 1st ECRL Reads program is quickly approaching. Our ECRL Reads author Mary Casanova will be visiting four East Central Regional Library branches during November to discuss her book, Ice-Out. For the last 8 weeks community members throughout our six counties have come together through the reading and discussion of Ice-Out and by attending multiple programs on Prohibition, the Model T, jazz music, F. Scott Fitzgerald and more topics based on the 1920s era from the book.
Mary Casanova is an award-winning Minnesota author. Many of her books stem from her life on the Minnesota-Canadian border; yet some of her stories have taken her as far away as France, Norway, and Belize for research. Casanova grew up in a family of 10 children in St. Paul, Minnesota. In a bustling camp-like atmosphere, Casanova found that writing became her voice. “Words are my paintbrush,” she explains, “my way of exploring the world around me.”
Ice-Out is the story about 19-year-old Owen Jensen who has big dreams growing up in tiny Ranier, Minnesota, near the Canadian border. But in the lawless Prohibition era of the 1920s, few paths are open to young men in his town, other than farming, fishing and bootlegging. Inspired by real events in early 1920s Minnesota, it is a story of young romance against terrible odds and true grit on the border between license and responsibility, rich and poor, and right and wrong.
Casanova will be at the following ECRL branches:
- Aitkin Public Library on Monday, November 13 at 6:30 pm
- Princeton Area Library on Tuesday, November 14 at 6:30 pm
- Wyoming Area Library on Wednesday, November 15 at 6:30 pm
- Pine City Public Library on Thursday, November 16 at 6:30 pm.
Books will be available for sale by the author and Scout and Morgan Books from Cambridge.
The ECRL Reads program and Mary Casanova’s visit is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Join us for this free program and listen as Mary talks about how events from her own family became an integral part of the Ice-Out story and why historical fiction plays an important part in literature.
ECRL is pleased to say a belated “Welcome!” to Miranda (Mandie) Krueger as the new Branch Librarian in Aitkin. Mandie succeeds Katie Pierce, who left us this summer to take a new position in the Twin Cities.
Mandie is currently enrolled in the University of Kentucky‘s School of Information Science to obtain her MLS degree, and hopes to finish within a year and a half. She graduated from the University of Minnesota – Duluth, with a BA in History and German Studies.
Prior to joining ECRL, Mandie worked for Bemidji Public Library as a Library Assistant, moving up from a substitute assistant to a Library Assistant III, where she worked at the circulation and information desk, and doing collection development, teen/young adult services, and programming.
Mandie started with ECRL on August 21st, and she and her husband Dan recently closed on a house in Aitkin. She is excited to take on the role of Branch Librarian for the Aitkin community and has already gotten off to a great start, adding storytimes to her list of library talents — all while starting her school semester and settling in to the new house!
If you haven’t yet, please stop by the library to say hello and welcome her to Aitkin.
East Central Regional Library invites the public to join international bestselling author Brian Freeman for an experience that may cause you to never look at Duluth, Minnesota, the same way again.
This Minnesota author presents Stride’s Duluth, a special slideshow presentation profiling real-life places in the Northland that have been featured in Freeman’s books from the Jonathan Stride series. He has earned prestigious awards for his psychological thrillers, which have been sold in 46 countries and 20 languages.
Mr. Freeman was scheduled to visit the Aitkin Public Library in February, but the event was cancelled due to the weather. So now he’s back! Join us for this unique program on Thursday, April 20 at 6:30 pm at the Aitkin Public Library.
This project was funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
For more than 40 years The Memories have entertained audiences across the country. With their unique harmonies and great songs, this duo is made up of Warren Petryk and Tim Stevens.

Free and open to the public, but space is limited. Please pre-register at the Aitkin Public Library or call 218-927-2339. This event is in partnership with the Friends of the Aitkin Library and is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.

Holiday accommodation was extremely basic, curtains looked shabby and not ironed,some didn't fit properly, I understand that i had a dog with me however, i would have expected more from the property ..... and it was stuck right at the back of the campsite that was not great either, I would recommend it for people not bringing pets and having better accommodation with nicer views.... but I certainly wouldn't be tempted to come again without checking where the caravan was situated.
Our caravan had a horrible lingering smell of a dog for the duration of our holiday , even with all windows open
