CHICAGO

HOG Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders:

They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I
have seen your painted women under the gas lamps
luring the farm boys.
And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it
is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to
kill again.
And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the
faces of women and children I have seen the marks
of wanton hunger.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who
sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer
and say to them:
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing
so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.
Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on
job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the
little soft cities;

Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning
as a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,
Wrecking,
Planning,
Building, breaking, rebuilding,
Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with
white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young
man laughs,
Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has
never lost a battle,
Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse.
and under his ribs the heart of the people,
Laughing!
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of
Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog
Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with
Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.

DICK CASPARI
April 20, 1942 - January 19, 2000

Dick Caspari was a very gifted physician as well as a world-renowned innovator in the arena of orthopedics and sports medicine His skills were recognized nationally after he performed microscopic surgery on Olympic star Mary Lou Retton. Four weeks before the 1984 Olympics, she suffered an injury, a bucket handle tear in a tendon in her knee, and it was not certain if she would be able to compete. Following surgery, she rebounded and became the first American woman to win a gold medal in the all-around competition in gymnastics. This procedures was so new and successful TIME magazine requested an interview. Dick was on the leading edge in technology, developing and patenting tools still used today in Arthroscopic surgery. He also found time to co-author Atlas of Arthroscopic Techniques, a handbook for orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists.

In our teen years, Dick, Joan Hernandez, Earl Trant and I rode horses together at the stables on Hwy. 29. I was begging my horse not to move, while Dick had his galloping at full throttle inside the fenced area. His horse threw him over the fence breaking his leg. The break was severe. Perhaps this ordeal influenced his decision to study sports medicine. Dick met his wife Judy while attending MedicalSchool at the University of Florida. They had two girls.

Dick was interesting and kind hearted and his loyalty to friends endeared him to many. When relaxing, his passion was sailing the Caribbean with family and friends. He was in the midst of a world cruise in December 1999, when he flew home from Australia for the holidays. On January 19, 2000, he suffered a fatal heart attack while skiing in Aspen.

The Richard B. Caspari Award has been established by the Richmond Area Association of periOperative Registered Nurses to honor an individual who has made a difference in the community and in the lives of others and who has made a significant contribution to mankind. This speaks well of our friend and classmate of PHS

Oh Shit!!  A black man from Pensacola....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_James_Jr.

General Daniel James Jr., is special assistant to the chief of staff, U.S. Air Force.

General James was born in 1920, in Pensacola, Fla., where he graduated from Washington High School in June 1937. From September 1937 to March 1942, he attended Tuskegee Institute, where he received a bachelor of science degree in physical education and completed civilian pilot training under the government-sponsored Civilian Pilot Training Program.

He remained at Tuskegee as a civilian instructor pilot in the Army Air Corps Aviation Cadet Program until January 1943, when he entered the program as a cadet and received his commission as a second lieutenant in July 1943. He next completed fighter pilot combat training at Selfridge Field, Mich., and was assigned to various units in the United States for the next six years.

In September 1949, General James went to the Philippines as flight leader for the 12th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, 18th Fighter Wing, at Clark Field. In July 1950 he left for Korea, where he flew 101 combat missions in F-51 and F-80 aircraft.

General James returned to the United States and in July 1951 went to Otis Air Force Base, Mass., as an all-weather jet fighter pilot with the 58th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron and later became operations officer. In April 1953 he became commander of the 437th FIS, and in August 1955 he assumed command of the 60th FIS. While stationed at Otis, he received the Massachusetts Junior Chamber of Commerce 1954 award of "Young Man of the Year" for his outstanding community relations efforts. He graduated from the Air Command and Staff College in June 1957.

General James next was assigned to Headquarters U.S. Air Force as a staff officer in the Air Defense Division of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations.

Viewpoint: Pensacola's drinking water is safe, good
Bill Johnson 11:39 a.m. CST November 22, 2014

It's impossible to unring a bell or to stop a bullet once it has left the barrel. Many people in Pensacola remember the headlines from 2009. For those who don't, an organization called the Environmental Working Group released a report that year ranking Pensacola's water supply last among a list of the largest 100 water systems in the country. This was picked up by the media as "Pensacola has the worst drinking water in America."

For those of us in the business, this was a total surprise. For many years the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority water system had met or exceeded all of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's primary drinking water standards established in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.

How did EWG decide that this community had the "worst" water? Did they collect water samples and test them? Did they analyze public health records for specific water-borne illnesses or diseases? Did they take any kind of a valid science-based approach to making such a damning determination?

No. Their approach was, instead, to collect and analyze water-quality test results covering a period of five years (2004-2008) from water systems throughout the country and to apply their own arbitrary rating system to the data.

There are over 48,000 water utilities in the United States, yet only 100 were included in the ranking. Several cities, such as Atlanta, were not included because they had either failed to submit sampling data to their states' regulatory agencies or had not conducted the sufficient sampling. The report's ranking was largely based on the total number of samples that tested positive for a variety of chemicals, disregarding the amount detected, the frequency of detection, or the location(s) of detection. The average utility in the study had 420 samples reviewed, with eight detections (1.9 percent), while ECUA had 74,897 samples reviewed with 45 detections (0.06 percent).

A review of the EWG study conducted by Dr. Richard Snyder and Dr. Carl Mohrherr of the Center for Environmental Diagnostics and Bioremediation at the University of West Florida concluded that EWG's methodology was statistically flawed, its conclusions were invalid, and that the report was "bogus."

Specifically, they noted that, according to EWG's own report, ECUA conducted more water sample testing than other utilities (74,897 tests versus a national average of 420), and had NO samples above regulatory limits (versus a national average of 0.5 samples above regulatory limits). They ask: "How then is ECUA the worst?" The facts just don't support that conclusion.

Five years later we are still living with this unfair stigma. It seems like about once every year the old "study" reappears on the Internet, Pensacola's reputation takes another hit, and the fallacious claims take on more of the cachet of fact.

Why should we in Pensacola bother to correct this EWG "ranking" other than for the fact that it is misleading and untrue (i.e., "bogus")? Because it hurts all of us. When this community competes with other communities for a new factory or service center or other job-creating prospect, we often must fight this inaccurate report. It is also plainly a source of unwarranted fear for many who live here.

Everyone in this community needs to know first, that the EWG report did not accurately represent our drinking water, and second, that, day in and day out, our community drinking water meets the standards that are in place for our protection. Instead of being embarrassed because of some bogus ranking based on an invalid statistical analysis, we all should feel comfortable telling anyone that Pensacola's drinking water is safe and good.

Bill Johnson is ECUA's director of engineering.


Editor's note:

The Pensacola News Journal will no longer consider letters that reference the 2009 study. It was flawed data and incorrectly described the quality of ECUA's water.

•For information on ECUA drinking water quality go to www.ecua.fl.gov/water-quality


•ECUA is rolling out a new "Live Green" initiative that tells the true story of its water quality and provides more education on programs in which everyone can participate — from recycling to bulk-waste pick-up — that provide green, clean living: A key component to all thriving cities.

Of the 101 chemicals tested for over five years, 45 were discovered. Of them, 21 were discovered in unhealthy amounts. The worst of these were radium-228 and -228, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, alpha particles, benzine and lead. Pensacola's water was also found to contain cyanide and chloroform. The combination of these chemicals makes Pensacola's water supply America's most unhealthy.

I figure the chloroform is probably responsible for most of Bob's posts.......but the benzine and lead in the water can explain much

Exposure to lead can result in a variety of effects upon neuropsychological functioning including deficits in general intellectual functioning, ability to sustain attention on tasks, organization of thinking and behavior, speech articulation, language comprehension and production, learning and memory efficiency, fine motor skills, high activity level, reduced problem solving flexibility, and poor behavioral self-control.

I notice a trend in the organization of thinking, and Bob's golf stories confirm a lack of fine motor skills and poor behavioral self control.   So now all we need to do is find out what water the general drank.......he seems to have escaped the environmental impact on IQ which is repeatedly demonstrated on this forum to be impacted by something.   I guess if you are going to be in Hell it is absurd to believe that quality water would be allowed. The Devil has standards.......

Of course we should look to Flint Michigan for a model to base our water supply..LOL

Lead-Laced Water In Flint: A Step-By-Step Look At The Makings Of A Crisis

Hallmarkgard



LoL of course your Logic would fail to recognize that the water system in 1920-1940 was vastly different from what we have today..

2seaoat



Flint will have to evaluate the impact on IQ in the future from the almost two year exposure to lead, but Pensacola does not have to wait.....the effects are obvious to anybody who is fair and balanced..........low performance of children in school, and one general who was born here and seems to had some independent water supply.......of course the PNJ would not let somebody tell the truth in the paper........they would rather stir up the Mob with commissioner May, but heck.......I guess all those chemicals happened only because the study was flawed.......

Thank goodness Mr. Studer lived most of his life independent to being poisoned by lead. His clear vision and intelligence has saved the town of lead babies who skip school to play on the beach.

I figure Hallmark's higher intelligence is directly connected to his large consumption of beer from Milwaukee in his youth. Germans and folks who drink Wisconsin pure water are obviously more intelligent, and perhaps the General was a beer drinker also. If Bob could have only drank more beer instead of those mixed drinks.......I heard that a favorite at local bars was a vodka leadbelly which Bob favored......those folks who were most proud of Pensacola would drop a lead fishing weight into two shots of vodka, four fingers of Pensacola water, and a pinch of salty red tide water.......I heard Bob lived on these for years.
