Mysterious Mound Builders of Wickliffe

Wickliffe, in Ballard County at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, is a hotbed of archaeological research because it was once home to a mound-building community, about which we know very little.

What do we know about them? Well, they made beautiful pottery, especially of eerie-looking owls, symbolic of the underworld and the dead. They're generally regarded as having been part of the Mississippian culture, which is considered the probable ancestor of the later Native American tribes that populated the area by the time European settlers got here. It should be noted that the entire Mississippian geologic period from 360 to 320 million years ago, which is different from the Mississippian culture.

Probably. Possibly. Archaeologists and ethnologists like to put in boxes and assign things to categories as much as the next person, and so they separate the Mississippian culture into three extremely broad, extremely vague, and extremely arbitrary categories.

Early. Early Mississippian cultures are said to be those making a transition from a more primitive way of life to one of increasing sophistication. The Early Mississippian period is considered to be circa A.D. 1,000-1,200.

Middle. The middle period is considered the peak of the Mississippian people's development, because it was then that they instituted a form of government, being led by a chief in a chiefdom. The middle period of growth is considered to have taken place circa A.D. 1,200-1,400.

Late. This is where things get really interesting. The many tribes that we now retroactively classify as Mississippian were not necessarily connected or closely linked, and many lived out most of their existence isolated from one another. They didn't keep in touch with Web sites and e-mail, and they didn't have a newsletter. And yet, their civilizations all began to go down the tubes at exactly the same time. A way of life that had sustained itself for centuries fell apart, and for no discernible reason. The tribes simply and completely vanished from Wickliffe.

Why? We don't know. Is there any sign of war or disaster in the city's remains? No. Is there any sign of disease or epidemic? No.

Something made a centuries-old civilization pack up everything and move out. They left their burial mounds behind, which stayed in tact for centuries-until 1930, when a man named Fain King looked upon the mighty works of those enigmatic denizens of the past and knew what must be done: He dug up the sacred mounds and turned the place into a tourist trap.

This sad state of affairs continued until 1983, well past the point when someone should have stood up and said, "Wait a minute, what the heck are we doing?" Thankfully, Murray State University finally reclaimed the site in the name of scientific research, and in 2004, the area became federally protected land as part of the state parks service.

Today you can visit the Wickliffe Mounds State Historic Site, its gift shop, and museum, which consists of three excavated mounds, demonstrations of Mississippian burial practices, and displays of artifacts from teh site. These artifacts include peculiar figural with haunting faces.

The most famous of all Wickliffe artifacts, however, was a creepy effigy of a great horned owl, which was unfortunately stolen by burglars in 1988 and never seen again. However, like priceless works of famous art heisted from museums, such items are nearly impossible to sell, even on the black market. The purloined owl totem probably currently occupies a display case or special perch in a secret room somewhere viewed by who knows for who knows what purposes.

Let us take some minor comfort in knowing that whoever stole the owl and whoever currently holds it today will suffer a curse for their deeds and will pay sooner or later. Sure as there's feathers on a chicken.

On March 23rd 1848, the Free Church of Scotland settlement at New Edinburgh, New Zealand was founded, it is known today as Dunedin.

It was the poet’s uncle, Rev Thomas Burns, who was among the first settlers to arrive in Dunedin, the Gaelic for Edinburgh, having been appointed by the Free Church to lead a new presbyterian settlement in the South Pacific. On landing at Port Chalmers on March 23 1848, one passenger on the John Wickliffe, the fist ship to carry Scottish settlers to the South Island of New Zealand, wrote in his diary: “All seemed pleased and called it a goodly land – Port Chalmers and around is truly beautiful – rich in scenery – its slopes and shores are fertile, and wooded to the water’s edge.”

By the end of the 1850s, around 12,000 Scots had joined them in this new flourishing city, many from the industrial lowlands. Artisans, small traders and industrial workers were to make up a third of all Scottish migrants to New Zealand with almost 70 per cent of this group coming from the Edinburgh and Glasgow area.

Every year in Dunedin, the arrival of these first settlers from Scotland is marked by Otago Anniversary Day, so the Kiwis have been marking that day today.

Otago Province was created in 1852, named after an old Māori word meaning ‘isolated village’. The province was abolished in 1876.

Otago is the second most southerly region of New Zealand and the fourth largest region. Dunedin is the only city in the region.

Shops on the main street stock Dunedin tartan, tweeds and Scottie dog trinkets and sign posts point to places such as Leith Valley, Corstorphine, Musselburgh and Calton Hill.

Bars pride themselves on their selections of fine malts, churches have an air of architectural familiarity and the municipal chambers looks as if it could have been transported from any Scottish town. A statue of Robbie Burns stands in the main square.

As Tom Devine noted in To the Ends of the Earth, one anonymous correspondent to the New Zealand Otago Times, writing under the pseudonym a Staunch Englishman, described the Scots settlers as a “mean, close, bigoted, porridge-eating” lot who were prone to “minding the sixpences.”

The legacy of those first settlers is, however, ample. Otago Boys’ High School was set up in 1864, the University of Otago in 1869 and Otago Girls’ High School, one of the first state-run schools of its type in the world, opened in 1871. Today, whisky, pipe bands and the city’s own Haggis Ceremony continue to mark the impact of those first Scottish settlers who arrived.

Mark Twain, after visiting Dunedin in 1895, wrote of them: “The people are Scotch. They stopped here on their way from home to heaven thinking they had arrived.”

So for any New Zealanders looking in Happy Otago Anniversary Day.

Environmental Landfill was supposed to take in only downed trees, stumps and other natural materials — what's known as vegetative waste. But a decade's worth of records from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) shows the business took other trash, including treated power poles, scrap metal, tires, appliances and other waste that should have been regulated. Some of that trash was buried among the vegetative waste when the fire started. During many of the agency's visits, inspectors noted that the site was a fire hazard. The landfill's operator declined to comment for this story.

ADEM maintains that the fire is primarily fueled by wood and other natural debris. Neighbors, however, say they've smelled fumes they know aren't from trees and tree limbs.

Frank Read stayed in his home across from the landfill and spent hundreds of dollars on air purifiers and filters to mitigate the fumes. He said he could smell the different types of materials as they smoldered.

"It depends on what's burning at the time," Read said. "There's times where it smells straight like wood, and then there's other times where you know tires are burning. You can smell the rubber. And then there's times when there's like a chemical smell. ... And that's what's scary."

[...]

ADEM, the Alabama agency that regulates the state's landfills, doesn't consider environmental waste to be solid waste, and neither does the EPA.

"Federal regulation is all pretty much targeted on landfills that handle toxic chemicals," said Robert Percival, a professor of environmental law at the University of Maryland's Carey School of Law and co-author of the casebook Environmental Regulation: Law, Science, and Policy.

Materials like yard waste or storm debris are low on regulators' list of priorities because of this.

Most regulated landfills have a system to prevent fires, such as applying a thick layer of dirt on top of each day's waste. Some landfills monitor internal heat and gas levels to predict and prevent fires. Unregulated landfills don't take the same measures.

"For municipal landfills, usually there is a collection system. There's a gas well, there are monitoring systems in place ... that you could [use to] understand the issue and avoid disasters like this," said Rouzbeh Nazari, a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's civil engineering department and School of Public Health, as well as the director of the university's Sustainable Smart Cities Research Center. "But in the case of green waste, you don't have any of those."

Even if a landfill containing only green waste catches on fire, the smoke can still lead to adverse health effects, said Jeff Wickliffe, an environmental health sciences professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

"When you look at what's coming out of the landfill based on the EPA measurements, those are by and large still derived from the biomass that's there," Wickliffe said. "They're still hazardous chemicals. And so I think we need to realize that whatever the source is, that landfill's still producing potential hazards."

The state's lack of regulations around vegetative waste is why Environmental Landfill continued its operations for so long.

It's also why officials and agencies are left unsure about who has the authority to handle fires at these types of sites when local firefighters aren't equipped to put them out.

The largest lynching in US history occurred in New Orleans, LA on 14 March 1891.

On 15 October 1890, Police Chief David Hennessy was shot down by gunmen while walking home from work. As he lay dying, he supposedly whispered to Captain William O'Connor that he had been shot by Italians.

Mayor Joseph Shakespeare told the police to “arrest every Italian you come across," and by the next day 250 Italians had been brought in, with 45 arrested. 19 were charged with the murder.

Mayor Shakspeare gave a speech declaring that Hennessy had been "the victim of Sicilian vengeance" and called upon the citizenry to "teach these people a lesson they will not forget." On 17 October 1890, one of the suspects was shot in the neck while in custody awaiting trial. He survived the shooting, only to die by lynching the following March.

9 of the charged suspects stood trial in February 1891 and on 13 March, 6 of the defendants were found not guilty, and 3 were declared a mistrial as the jury could not reach a decision. All 9 were returned to prison (the 6 who had been found not guilty were held on “lying in wait” charges, which meant the police believed they would commit crimes if set free).

Newspapers stoked the anti-immigrant sentiment of the city, with Daily States newspaper writing: “Rise, people of New Orleans! Alien hands of oath-bound assassins have set the blot of a martyr's blood upon your vaunted civilization! Your laws, in the very Temple of Justice, have been bought off, and suborners have caused to be turned loose upon your streets the midnight murderers of David C. Hennessy.”

Thousands of people gathered at the jail, then a group of armed men stormed the prison, grabbing not just the men who had been acquitted or given a mistrial, but several who had not been tried or accused in the crimes.

The armed group was led by attorney William S. Parkerson and included newspaperman John C. Wickliffe, John M. Parker (who would be elected Governor in 1920), and Walter C. Flower (elected Mayor of New Orleans in 1895).

All of those lynched were Sicilian immigrants except for Joseph Macheca, a Louisiana native of Sicilian descent. Many were beaten to death, while others were hanged and shot.

American newspaper accounts at the time were largely sympathetic to the lynchers, and anti-Italian in tone.

After an investigation into the lynching of 11 victims, a grand jury failed to identify a single suspect, instead commenting that the mob consisted of “several thousands of the first, best, and even the most law-abiding, of the citizens of this city."

The real identity of Hennessy’s murderer was never determined. However, the lynchings his death inspired had lasting repercussions for Italian-Americans. In the years after, the supposed (and unproven) Mafia conspiracy behind the acquittals was used as an excuse to discriminate against other Italian-Americans for decades afterward. At least 8 more Italians were lynched in Lousiana in the recent years following 1891, with no one ever charged.

CORA-ALLAN WICKLIFFE

ARTIST LECTURE

A Journey with Hiapo

Lecture Notes:

Current Te Whare Hera residency

Hiapo = Niuean art form of Barkcloth painting

Studied film and photography at AUT - also has a Master of Fine Arts and performance

Formative moments of her practice

Was curator - this year it’s the first she’s worked on her practice full-time

From Niue

Hasn’t been a hiapo practitioner since early 1900s

Experience in Galleries came from Canada

Dreaming of spaces - learning to hang own work etc

Hiapo - babies are born on it and bodies are wrapped in it

Finding knowledge of hiapo in journals and museums - notes from Cook etc

Learning how to be in traditional spaces and learning how to make tools

Traditional heritage art

Practice means she goes back to the island about 3 times a year

People have tried to bring the art form back for a long time

Showed for the first time in Niue in 2019 - day after her Grandfather passed away - his body was wrapped in her hiapo

Part of practice is making hiapo for bodies and for babies being born - having practice come full circle was hard to navigate

All her material and resources come from Niue

Practice traditional ways also accepts new technologies e.g standing up while painting instead of sitting on the floor

Paintbrush is a seed - seed has a story of being in the land etc

Hiapo has a function

Reviving hiapo

Give audience an experience of what it’s like remembering patters - gave speech and then turned it into a performance - painted over the hiapo

Putting her hiapo in spaces she knows it won’t be used

Slowly moved into a contemporary art space

Saves her best work for her people, other work she’s not 100% happy with she sells to other spaces/people

Hiapo doesn’t just exist in fabric, it’s a way of thinking, creation and being

Sister is now her student - traditionally you only pass down knowledge and skills through bloodline

Nana asked her to learn hiapo so she listens to her nana’s instructions and guides

Won CNZ award

1st workshop was all niuean people - giving back to her people - a space where she didn’t have to explain anything

Lots of tools and materials are made by her dad - only existing tools that are being used

How can kids experience it?

Made a book in Lockdown with her Nana about the patterns etc

Create a tool for families in Niue - snakes and ladders on hiapo - made versions on cloth

If she sells work she gets to use half of the money to buy a new artwork for her home

Has a bucket with cloth soaking in the wharf in Wellington at the moment - a way to also connect with the moana in the new space

I really enjoyed Cora’s lecture. I have a lot of respect for her and her practice. I think she’s very confident and owns her practice and talents. She’s very inspiring.

The Sword and The Trowel

by Charles Spurgeon

Inspirational Reading for March 2, 2020

IT is by the grace of God that ungodly men are preserved from instant death. The sharp axe of justice would soon fell the barren tree if the interceding voice of Jesus did not cry, "Spare him yet a little." Many sinners, when converted to God, have gratefully acknowledged that it was of the Lord's mercy that they were not consumed. John Bunyan had three memorable escapes before his conversion, and mentions them in his "Grace Abounding" as illustrious instances of long-suffering mercy. Occasionally such deliverances are made the means of affecting the heart with tender emotions of love to God, and grief for having offended him. Should it not be so? Ought we not to account that the longsuffering of God is salvation? (2 Peter 3:15.) An officer during a battle was struck by a nearly spent ball near his waistcoat pocket, but he remained uninjured, for a piece of silver stopped the progress of the deadly missile. The coin was marked at the words DEI GRATIA (by the grace of God). This providential circumstance deeply impressed his mind, and led him to read a tract which a godly sister had given him when leaving home. God blessed the reading of the tract, and he became, through the rich grace of God, a believer in the Lord Jesus.

Reader, are you unsaved? Have you experienced any noteworthy deliverances? Then adore and admire the free grace of God, and pray that it may lead you to repentance! Are you enquiring for the way of life? Remember the words DEI GRATIA, and never forget that by grace we are saved. Grace always pre-supposes unworthiness in its object. The province of grace ceases where merit begins: what a cheering word is this to those of you who have no worth, no merit, no goodness whatever! Crimes are forgiven, and follies are cured by our Redeemer out of mere free favour. The word grace has the same meaning as our common term gratis: Wickliffe's prayer was, "Lord save me gratis" No works can purchase or procure salvation, but the heavenly Father giveth freely, and upbraideth not.

Grace comes to us through faith in Jesus. Whosoever believeth on Him is not condemned. O, sinner, may God give thee grace to look to Jesus and live. Look now, for to-day is the accepted time!

What to Do after a Death

Losing a loved one is never easy, and the entire thing can be made much more difficult if you are the person in charge of making the necessary funerary arrangements. Most people have never had to do this kind of thing before, so it is normal not to know what steps to take. If this is something you are going through, funeral homes and cremation providers have some suggestions to help you.  

Every provider of funerary services of any type will require a copy of the death certificate, so this needs to be the first thing you do. There are many people who can provide you with this certificate, including nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians, and hospice workers. Because you need a copy for every provider, you will want to get anywhere from ten to fifteen copies.  

After obtaining the death certificate, the next step that providers of cremations and funeral home directors recommend is reaching out to loved ones to let them know about the death. Start with those who were closest to the deceased and ask them to let other people know. This will ensure that everyone who needs to know about the death hears about it without forcing you to make all of the phone calls, which can emotionally draining.  

The next step should be to decide on the kind of funerary arrangements you want for the deceased. This can depend on personal preference, budget, the wishes of your loved one, and many other factors. Take the time to speak with the rest of the family to see what they recommend. If your loved one left a will or preplanned funerary arrangements, this is not something that you have to worry about. Once you know what services you want, you will need to find the provider that can offer them. Look for reputable companies that offer quality service for average rates.

Once you arrange this, you will want to make certain that the estate is in order. This can sometimes mean hiring an attorney that can handle all of this, especially if there are disputes among relatives. Of course, if your loved one left a will, chances are that they already had an attorney looking after their estate, so all you have to do is contact them.  

Keeping these steps in mind can make it much easier for you to make the necessary arrangements. Be certain that you have enough copies of the death certificate so that you do not run into any delays, and take your time choosing the funeral home or cremations provider you want to hire. This step can make a huge difference, so do a good amount of research into the companies in your area. Get started right now by contacting us at Orlando-Donsante-Previte Funeral Home. Our expertise and our dedication will allow you to focus on getting though this difficult time while we do the work. Stop by our location at 29550 Euclid Ave Wickliffe, OH 44092 or call us today at (440) 943-2466.

Bars pride themselves on their selections of fine malts, churches have an air of architectural familiarity and the municipal chambers looks as if it could have been transported from any Scottish town. A statue of Robbie Burns stands in the main square.

As Tom Devine noted in To the Ends of the Earth, one anonymous correspondent to the New Zealand Otago Times, writing under the pseudonym a Staunch Englishman, described the Scots settlers as a “mean, close, bigoted, porridge-eating” lot who were prone to “minding the sixpences.”

The legacy of those first settlers is, however, ample. Otago Boys’ High School was set up in 1864, the University of Otago in 1869 and Otago Girls’ High School, one of the first state-run schools of its type in the world, opened in 1871. Today, whisky, pipe bands and the city’s own Haggis Ceremony continue to mark the impact of those first Scottish settlers who arrived.

Mark Twain, after visiting Dunedin in 1895, wrote of them: “The people are Scotch. They stopped here on their way from home to heaven thinking they had arrived.”

So for any New Zealanders looking in Happy Otago Anniversary Day.

Black Ferns Sevens make winning start in Sydney Sevens 2023 tournament

The Black Ferns Sevens side have continued their impressive recent form with two big wins on the opening day of the Sydney Sevens tournament on Friday.

The side took out the Hamilton leg of the World Sevens Series last weekend and won both of their matches on the first day of the three-day Sydney tournament, beating Papua New Guinea 48-0 and France 29-14.

Australia, second behind the Black Ferns Sevens in the World Series standings, beat Brazil 28-12 and Spain 46-0. The United States — beaten finalists in Hamilton — defeated Canada 14-12 before losing to Fiji 17-14.

Recent form also played true on the men’s side of the draw, with Argentina – also winners in Hamilton – beating Canada 24-19 in a testing start to the weekend. Rodrigo Isgro scored two tries as Argentina rallied from a 19-5 deficit early in the second half.

The All Blacks Sevens side beat Uruguay 45-7 in its only match on Friday, while Olympic champion Fiji beat Tonga 52-7. Dietrich Roache and Henry Paterson scored tries for Australia in a tight 12-7 win over Great Britain.

The tournament continues Saturday with the remaining group matches and quarterfinals. The semifinals and final will be played Sunday.

Michaela Blyde scored in the opening minute, Jorja Miller crossed over in each half while Stacey Fluhler and Portia Woodman-Wickliffe also scored in the convincing quarter-final victory. They will play Ireland for a spot in the final, who the beat in the same stage last week before claiming the Hamilton title.

France’s 10-5 quarterfinal win prevented a familiar final in the women’s competition. Australia and New Zealand have met in two of the three women’s finals to date in the World Sevens Series and New Zealand leads the overall women’s standings by four points from Australia.

Australia now can finish no higher than fifth place. Chloe Pelle scored just before halftime and Carla Nelson added a second try in the 11th minute as France kept Australia on defense for most of the quarterfinal. Faith Nathan sprinted 85 meters for Australia’s only try in the 13th minute but the score came too late for Australia to snatch victory.

France will play USA in the other semifinal.

Home fans also were disappointed when the Australia men were edged by France, 17-14, in their quarterfinal. Australia led 14-7 at halftime but Theo Forner scored his second try of the match to level the score and France advanced to the semifinals with a late penalty to Thomas Carol.

The All Blacks Sevens overcame a narrow loss to South Africa in group play to beat Samoa and reach the semifinals. Dalvon Blood slotted a dropped kick from a penalty in the last minute to give South Africa a 17-14 win over New Zealand after both teams scored two tries.
