How very interesting!  Have any clowns visited local schools?  Do any 
of you aspire to be circus clowns?

I really like the way you write!  The paragraphs are well-organized, 
indented properly, and develop a main idea.  I especially like the 
insertion of a direct quote!
        
It is unfortunate that the circus may have to move.  How will the 
railroad situation "clear up"?  Is money the main obstacle, or is it 
something else?

>      We think that the circus and clowns should stay.  Our

I think they should stay too.  Are you going to find out what would 
have to be done in order for them to stay?  If money is the main 
problem, maybe the community could collect enough for them to remain 
there.  You could have car washes, candy sales, telethons, etc.
        
Just a friendly suggestion . . . 
        
        Chris

Subject: Qantas - 70 Years Old.
Date: Sun, 08 Nov 92 21:09:20 PDT
Organization: FidoNet node 3:640/706 - Coral Sea, Townsville Qld Australia

More than 40 small aircraft took to the skies this week over Queensland.
They were taking part in the re-enactment of the founding of the second
oldest airline in the world, QANTAS.

Qantas was founded 70 years ago this week.

QANTAS stands for "Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services".
There are several stories now about the first days of Qantas.

The first passenger flight took place on 3rd November, 1922.  An ex-WW1
aircraft, an Armstrong-Whitworth with an open cockpit took off from
Longreach, in the outback of Queensland, to fly to Cloncurry, also in the
outback.

The first passenger was an 84 year old grazier (for those in USA, read
rancher) named Alexander Kennedy. The journey took five hours. The same
journey had previously taken Kennedy eight months (yes, months!) by
bullock cart.

At the re-enactment were relatives of Kennedy and other early passengers.
Other present were relatives of the founder and first pilot Sir Hudson
Fysh, (later Managing Director of Qantas).

Also present this week, was the first Qantas Flight-Engineer. He flew on
the return trip of that first flight.  Jack Hazlett is now 95 years of
age!

The first Qantas child passenger was also present this week. Peg Ballenger
was swaddled in clothes and placed in the bomb compartment for her flight!

During WW2, Sir Hudson Fysh flew on what is believed to be the longest
non-stop, regular passenger air service. This was from Koggala, in Ceylon
(now Sri Lanka), to Perth, Western Australia. The longest flight time
flown on this route was 31 hours 45 minutes, on 30 August/1 September,
1943.  The aircraft was a Catalina (PBY-5A).

Hi Joey,

Thanks for providing the info about Lake Charles.  It sounds like a great place to live.

I was born and raised in Brownsville, Texas, which is on the border with Mexico and only 28 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.  The Rio Grande River forms a natural boundary line between Brownsville and Matamoros, Mexico.  This part of Texas has many oxbow lakes that we locals call "resacas."  Years ago, the resacas were clean enough to swim and fish in.  A few years ago, the EPA declared one of our resacas "Hazardous" because of the level of contaminants found.

The land 'round these parts is flat, flat, flat.  Great for farmers, but pretty boring to the eye.  Temperatures rarely drop below 80 degrees F.  Our "winter" ususally consists of two or three weeks of 50 degree F weather and a few rain squalls.  Then, winter is over and it is summer again for another 11 months.

I teach 6th grade at Morningside elementary, and have taught 6th graders for about 6 years <g>.  I am also SysOp of two K12Net BBSes:  _The Lyceum_ and _Morningside K12Net BBS_.  I am a modem-thumping fool, by my own admission.

Good Typin' to Ya,

     Chris

Hello Jayme, Amy, and Stephanie,
We are very sorry that you may lose your clowns. We were looking forward to visiting a Chinese Circus today but they are not bringing it any further south than Christchurch and they weren't bringing the animals in any case. There is a Moscow Circus coming but it will cost $33 a seat and that is too much for us.
Are you happy to have a new President?

 Hello Stephanie and Julie,
We enjoyed reading your story about the haunted house- it was really spooky. Do you go in a cart through the house? How much does it cost to get in? We have an old house up the hill and nobody lives in it. We think it is haunted but we are too scared to go up there at night to find out. There is another one down by the wharf that everyone says is haunted. Why are people willing to pay to be scared?

Organization: FidoNet node 1:3820/2 - The Lyceum, Brownsville TX

Hi James,

Uu> Australia is no more what you see in Mad Max than the U.S. is
Uu> Blade Runner.

I kinda figured that <g>.  I just wanted to know if the majority of
Australians live in large cities or small communities.

Actually, I think like in some parts of the U.S. is very similar to life
depicted in _Blade Runner_, only the movie is a bit more flattering.  I've
seen parts of Houston and Dallas that would make you shudder.

Uu> 90% of Australians live in big cities with McDonald's and
Uu> Payphones and think
Uu> food comes from a supermarket.

Sorry if I offended you - I didn't intend to.  I haven't conducted any
research on "real" life in Australia.  The only info I have is what is
filtered through the tube, various periodicals, and K12Net.  I think the info
I get via K12Net is much closer to the truth.  For example, awhile back Pres.
Bush visited Australia.  Our news media didn't really pay much attention to
the visit, but _did_ make the point that he was welcomed with open arms.  I
subsequently learned through K12Net that there were many Australians who were
not happy about the visit AT ALL.

Uu> Our roads are the same in the cities but much fewer and farther
Uu> between outside
Uu> cities than in the U.S. Highway 1 which goes all the way around
Uu> the continent
Uu> (15,000km) was only completed a few years ago.
Uu> --

So, there are few roads BETWEEN the larger cities but the roads WITHIN the
cities are pretty much the same as in the U.S.  I believe most of our roads
were built during the Great Depression as part of a gov't-subsidized Public
Works Project to get people back to work.  As a result, most or our intercity
roads and bridges are in a state of disrepair.  Our infrastructure is in need
of a major overhaul.

Thank you for clearing up the misconceptions I had about Australia and
Australians.  Please pardon my ignorance.  I really am trying to learn about
life in your country.  Sometimes my questions may seem ludicrous, but with
each answered question I come a little closer to the truth.

Thanks again,

Chris

The Smith Academy Field Hockey team is once again in the news. The 
Falcons advanced to the semifinal round of the Weastern Mass.field hockey 
tournament with a win over Mohawk on Thursday. The final tally was 4 - 0.
After leading 1 - 0 in the first half, the team returned to the field 
ready to put the ball in the net. Within the 1st minute of play in the 
second half the Falcons scored again.
Coach Webb of Smith said. " We really peppered their goal and she 
(Fuller) did a very nice job in goal against some tough shots."
Smith will now move on to the semifinal at Smith College against 
Greenfield on Tuesday night at 5:30.

Hi Joey,

I've been teaching for six years now, and it's always new and always challenging.  Every week, every day, every HOUR is different than the previous week, day, or hour.  No two students are the same, but I feel pressured to teach all of them the same skills in the same manner due to time constraints. It is not a job for those with limited reserves of endurance or patience.

The pay around here is alright, I guess.  It's depressing sometimes, though.  I heard that the inspectors at the int'l bridge make $72.00 an hour (!).  I don't know if that's true, but even if they make half that much . . .

How WONDERFUL!  I imagine it also shows high schoolers how much work 
is involved in the rearing of young children.  I think many high 
school girls have some sort of romantic view of childrearing - cute,

Chris, the man was part of a group that was practicing repelling. The group 
was made up of people from one of our army reserve groups although it wasn't 
a authorized event. It appears that the rope either broke or came lose from 
the bridge. North River is a small community outside the town of Truro N.S.

       Hey Chris.  Good to hear from you again.  I am not too far from you since I live about 30 minutes from the Texas border.

       I don't know if I mentioned it but I am an English Education major at McNeese State University (Everyone tries to correct my grammer after I tell them that...grin...).  How do you like teaching?  I hear alot of different comment from different teachers.  My father has been teaching for 18 years now and my mother is just now graduating from McNeese for Education so I guess it
runs in the family.

       Most of the problem in this state for teachers is pay.  Each year it seems the teachers fall farther behind inflation.  Many of our best teachers go out of state to teach (usually the best teachers) because of salaries, which just makes it worse for the state.  I don't think Texas has that problem because they pay a little better.  In fact many of our teachers end up in Texas.  Nice talkin to you.

                                                         Joey
