I wonder who is accountable for the poor bus service which we have on the Stagecoach No 13 route?
I wonder who is accountable for the poor bus service which we have on the Stagecoach No 13 route? It is not unusual for buses on this route to fail to run, but a recent episode was terrible.
Neither the 15.05 nor the 15.35 was in use, though we could see it standing in the parking area. I was forced to board the No 12 and had a considerable way to walk home laden with shopping.
I can never find an inspector but one of the drivers told us not to expect the No 13 to move as it had no driver. Why wasn't a No 12 (which runs every ten minutes) diverted, to help the stranded passengers for Tollesby and Brookfield and more to the point, why isn't the loudspeaker system put to use? What is ...
I hope some other stranded passengers will support my complaint, and please will somebody get this sorted out before the really bad weather is upon us?
Structure is a total loss, fire chief says.
BUCYRUS - A woman was in police custody Tuesday after a fire destroyed a multi-unit dwelling on West Mansfield Street.
Bucyrus Police Chief David Koepke said officers were called to Avita Health System-Bucyrus Hospital on Tuesday in connection with the fire at 304 W. Mansfield St., and a woman was expected to be charged.
"She's going to jail as soon as she's medically cleared," Koepke said.
Capt. Chad Schwemley of the Bucyrus Fire Department said the woman was not taken to the hospital from the fire scene; it was his understanding that she had been picked up somewhere else and taken to the hospital. No one from the scene was taken to the hospital, Schwemley said.
The fire at 304 W. Mansfield St. was reported at 10:46 a.m., Bucyrus Fire Chief Jay Keller said. Firefighters left the scene shortly after 5 p.m.
Neighbor Tim Lawson, 115 N. Spring St., said he reported the fire.
“We woke up and saw smoke all over,” he said. He looked out his patio doors and saw fire coming out of the back of the building.
As firefighters battled the blaze, mice came running across his yard, he said.
Lawson pointed out that firefighters were not able to use the two nearest fire hydrants as they battled the blaze. “I feel a little unsafe,” he said.
Schwemley confirmed the problem with the hydrants — one was broken and the other out of service, he said. But that didn’t slow down the firefighters, he said: But a problem with one of their trucks did.
A pump control on a 1998 engine wouldn’t function properly, he said. A firefighter had to run the throttle manually.
A representative from the fire department had been asked to attend Tuesday night’s council meeting to speak about the need for a new engine, Schwemley said.
It appears the fire started in one of the units on the bottom floor, Keller said.
"It's a total loss," he said.
Three of the four apartments in the structure were occupied, Keller said. "Everybody got out OK," he said.
Schwemley said the rental property was owned by Indian Valley, which owns other properties in the city.
The Galion Fire Department was called upon for mutual, the firefighters said.
The chief minister had recently reiterated Odisha'a demand for special category status at a meeting with NITI Aayog vice chairman.
"We have always been demanding for special category status for Odisha," he said.
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has said his government and the ruling BJD will pursue its demand for according special category status for the state.
"We have always been demanding for special category status for Odisha. We'll do so again," Mr Patnaik told reporters yesterday while responding to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh's demand for such status for it.
Earlier, BJD leader in Lok Sabha Bhartruhari Mahtab has said that Odisha will intensify its demand if the Centre grants special category status to Andhra Pradesh.
"Odisha has been demanding for special category state status since long. However, if the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh gets the status, we'll make our demand more vocal," Mr Mahtab told reporters.
"However, granting the status to one state and neglecting another is not fair. Any bias of the Central government in this matter will not be tolerated," Mr Mahtab said.
The chief minister had recently reiterated Odisha'a demand for special category status at a meeting with NITI Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar who met him at the state secretariat.
Lun-Zun Yuan, a Chinese immigrant who devoted his life to bridging relations between his homeland and the United States, both as a journalist and as a representative with the Asia Foundation in San Francisco, died of cancer on Jan. 5. He was 94.
Known as L.Z., he was born in Shanghai in 1909. After graduating from Fudan University with a degree in English literature in 1928, he became a reporter at the Shanghai Evening Post, an English language newspaper geared toward the city's large expatriate community.
He filled a niche as one of the few reporters fluent in English and Chinese, said son Shao-yuen "Sy" Yuan of Marin County. A newspaper series he wrote on Chinese history and culture was later published as the book "Through the Moon Gate."
"Foreigners, once they passed through the gate, entered a different world, " said Sy Yuan, explaining the book's title.
Mr. Yuan's criticism of Japanese aggression against China resulted in assassination threats, his son said.
Mr. Yuan also wrote for BBC radio during the 1930s, and in 1949 he became a founding editor of the Hong Kong Standard.
In 1951, Mr. Yuan arrived in San Francisco to join the Committee for Free Asia, which later became the Asia Foundation. The foundation today is a nonpartisan group funded by the USAID, the nation's foreign assistance program, other foundations and individuals.
From 1963 to 1977, Mr. Yuan served in Hong Kong as the foundation's representative, working to promote more open communication with China. He helped create educational programs to expose Chinese officials to U.S. practices and values.
Though Mr. Yuan officially retired in 1977, he came back to head the foundation's China program. In 1980, the foundation established a fellowship for Chinese midlevel career diplomats who studied international relations. The 65 graduates have gone on to become ambassadors and hold other high-level positions in the Fore...
Mr. Yuan remained a consultant on China affairs.
"He was so committed," said William Fuller, the foundation's president. He called Mr. Yuan "the backbone of our program to support improved relations with China."
The foundation established a media fellowship in his honor in 1999, selecting one Chinese journalist each year to study international relations.
In addition to his son, Mr. Yuan is survived by his wife of 75 years, Tse- Fen Hsu Yuan, of San Francisco; three daughters, Felicia Chow of Hong Kong, Christine Ling of New York and Alice Piccus of San Francisco; eight grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
E. W. (Skip) Etchells, a boat builder and world champion yachtsman, died last Sunday in Memorial Hospital in Easton, Md. He was 87.
Most yacht racing is done in one-design sailboats, all built to a specific design so that the outcome rests with the skill of the crew rather than the builder.
In the 1940's and the 1950's, Etchells dominated international competition in the one-design Star Class. In the 1960's, he created a new one-design yacht, the Etchells 22, now known as the International Etchells Class. Etchells built Stars for 30 years and Etchells 22's for 20 years.
In 1951, with his wife, Mary, as crew, he won the Star Class world championship. She is the only woman to have won a world title in this popular boat. Skip Etchells won the 1959 North American Star Class and many United States and international championships. Some victories came on Long Island Sound, where one-design r...
Ellwood Widmer Etchells was born July 5, 1911, in Philadelphia and raised in Trenton. At the University of Michigan, where he won three consecutive Big Ten titles in the discus throw, he graduated in 1936 with a degree in naval architecture and engineering.
He started designing boats and during World War II helped build destroyers and icebreakers for the Navy. After the war, he worked in New York for Sparkman & Stephens, the yacht designers. After two years, he founded the Old Greenwich (Conn.) Boat Company, which became a leading builder of Stars, Lightnings and other on...
In 1965 and 1966, the International Yacht Racing Union held a competition in Kiel, Germany, to choose a new three-man keelboat for the Olympics. The six entries included an Etchells-designed craft 30 feet 6 inches long, with a wooden hull covered with fiberglass. Although it won 10 of the 13 races, the officials chose ...
A disappointed Etchells said only, ''The various sponsors never were called upon to present their plans or arguments.'' But sailors around the world praised his yacht, and he started production of the class that he called the Etchells 22 because the boat's waterline length is 22 feet.
The design's first national championship was held in 1968. Etchells won it and sailed in Etchells 22 races throughout the 1970's.
In 1984, Skip and Mary Etchells retired to Easton. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, the former Mary O'Toole; a son, Tim of Middlebury, Vt.; a daughter, Anne Nieusma of Easton, and three grandchildren.

Early Sunday, Jones, 31, was on his way home from playing with his band, Future Prezidents, when his car broke down on an exit ramp of Interstate 95, family members told WPBF television station.
Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief Stephen Stepp, speaking at a news conference Tuesday afternoon, said Raja was working a surveillance detail relating to recent burglaries around the city.
The statement did not define what Jones was “armed” with, and it did not give further details. The statement did not say whether Raja had his weapon drawn when he approached the vehicle or whether he identified himself as a police officer. Also not clear is whether the two men exchanged any words.
A police spokeswoman, Ellen Lovejoy, said Jones had a firearm, and Jones’ aunt, Serena Banks, told The Palm Beach Post that she believed that he had a gun permit and owned a gun. Stepp said sheriff’s investigators found a gun on the ground near Jones’ car and a gun box inside the car.
Calling the interaction between the two men a “confrontation,” the statement then said the officer “discharged his firearm resulting in the death” of Jones. It did not say what prompted the officer to fire.
Raja was put on administrative leave, the statement said, a routine step taken after an officer uses his handgun.
On Tuesday, the president of the Palm Beach Gardens police union, John Kazanjian, told the WPTV television station that officers were receiving death threats and accused the department of not being transparent about the shooting.
Late on Monday, family and friends gathered at Bible Church of God in Boynton Beach, where Jones was a drummer. His family is part of the congregation.

522 It is appropriate that students and teachers alike acknowledge that all human wisdom and knowledge have God as their source. Accordingly, this order may be used for blessing both students and teachers at the beginning of the school year or on other occasions.
523 Although both students and teachers are usually blessed at the same time, the prayers should be adapted when either students or teachers alone are blessed.
524 The blessing may be given during Mass or at a celebration of the word of God. If this blessing is given during Mass on Sunday, the Mass of the day is celebrated.
525 The blessing may be given by a priest, deacon, or a lay minister.
526 After the gospel reading, the celebrant in the homily, based on the sacred text and pertinent to the particular place and the people involved, explains the meaning of the celebration.
527 The general intercessions follow, either in the form usual at Mass or in the form provided here. The celebrant concludes the intercessions with the prayer of blessing. From the following intentions those best for the occasion may be used or adapted, or other intentions that apply to the particular circumstances may...
The celebrant says: God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge. Let us ask him to bless those who seek to learn and their teachers. R. Lord, hear our prayer.
Or: R. Fill us with your wisdom, Lord.
Assisting minister: For students (as they begin this new school year), that the Spirit of God may grant them the gifts of wisdom and understanding, let us pray to the Lord. R.
Assisting minister: For teachers, that they may share their knowledge with gentleness, patience, and concern for their students, let us pray to the Lord. R.
Assisting minister: For those who seek knowledge of the things of this world, that they may always pursue God's wisdom, let us pray to the Lord. R.
Assisting minister: For parents, the first teachers of their children, that their faith and love may be an example to us always, let us pray to the Lord. R.
Lord our God, in your wisdom and love you surround us with the mysteries of the universe. In times long past you sent us your prophets to teach your laws and to bear witness to your undying love. You sent us your Son to teach us by word and example that true wisdom comes from you alone.
