A soldier comes face to face with another he has killed aghast to recognise his dead opponent’s humanity Vergissmeinnicht by Keith Douglas (1920-1944) is a poem that continually shakes and rebuilds its own lyric foundations It’s narrated by a British soldier in the second world war whose unit is returning three weeks later to the scene of a battle to recover the spoils The body of the German soldier is discovered in a line that always reminds me of the opening of Wilfred Owen’s 1918 poem Futility (“Move him into the sun …”) But Douglas instantly fights off any such nostalgic softening of the scene The verse jolts along with the disturbed rhythm and auditory clunk (“gone” A new reader might expect from the first line that Douglas has planned a poem an illusion soon dispelled by the subsequent choppy tetrameters no peaceful sleep to be construed from the scene of “the soldier sprawling in the sun” Still in stanza two the rhymes play around with the assonance set up earlier There’s a looming non-sentence beginning “The frowning barrel of his gun” and rhythmic security shaken by the five syllables of “overshadowing” As the narrator looks back to “that day” he remembers “he hit my tank with one / like the entry of a demon” “One” is probably the slang euphemism for a round of fire So now we know that the narrator has narrowly avoided being killed by the dead German We follow his stare into the shallow grave of the abandoned weapons and see the “dishonoured picture” of Steffi “Dishonoured” is a fine word-choice: it “translates” an idea of the sexual mistreatment of women into a new context: war is the agent of her dishonour “Vergissmeinnicht” in German means the flower “forget-me-not” – it implies the request “forget me not”” (“vergiss mich nicht”) but it’s the flower which conveys the message Impending pathos remains under the control of clear-eyed observation There’s a new rhyme-scheme for this quatrain The beauty of the last two lines owes much to the use of the plain word “put”: anything more precise – “written” Resuming the first-person plural pronoun in stanza four in the hesitation of “almost” in the opening line “We see him almost with content …” The image of “his own equipment / that’s hard and good when he’s decayed” brings us after a fresh moment of pathos in the image of a weeping Steffi Those three lines noting his fly-black skin “paper eye” and “burst stomach like a cave” are both spare and grim I’ve sometimes wondered if he draws a little too near to sweetening the anguish is achieved by the rhyme: “singled” comes as a pertinent surprise as if death were another soldier who has fixed the soldier in his sights and accurately dispatched him The “frowning barrel” of the gun still casts its long shadow Douglas’s unsurprising revelation that “the lover and killer” are inhabitants of one body sustains the poem’s balanced realism and allows the speaker his more emotional recognition of the lover’s “mortal hurt” Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application passed away peacefully after a long illness on Wednesday he was the son of the late Corwin and Mary (Sebold) DeBerry he joined the Operating Engineers Local 37 as a heavy equipment mechanic He was a talented mechanic who "could fix anything" according to anyone familiar with his work he continued his love of mechanic work for family and friends on the side He enjoyed traveling out west with his hunting buddies and hanging out with the guys at deer camp He enjoyed rebuilding old airplanes with his friend He was a great historian and had many stories of Deer Park Douglas was a member of the American Legion Post 71 Donnie DeBerry and the late Eileen DeBerry of Oakland and Corbin DeBerry of Sevierville Jenny Michael and husband Jamie of Oakland and Andrea Crouse and husband Bob of Oakland;

Anderson ticked off the list of accomplishments made since she started the program I pay my bills … and it feels amazing because I have quite a past where I made many McMullin was the one who told Anderson about treatment court “I was in jail at the time and completely lost in life,” Anderson said I had been going down the wrong road for a long time.” “I kind of let go in life and went downhill,” she said She became addicted to methamphetamine and was convicted of numerous crimes in Douglas County Circuit Court she was sentenced to five years of prison and five years of extended supervision after being convicted of multiple charges party to burglary and possession of methamphetamine “I never had a good relationship with the courts and they tell me they’re proud of me and I’m not running and hiding or doing something wrong "And it feels really good because I don’t think they’re out to get me and I don’t think anything like that now They’re there for people … it’s all different.” Anderson participated in drug treatment while in prison “but you’re not faced with all these things on a day-to-day basis where you have to do it.” “And I would not have done it without this program “It’s structured the way it is for a reason I needed the accountability I needed to learn different ways to think and different coping skills and I did.” Circuit Court Judge Kelly Thimm applauded her growth and you know a lot of things had to change," Thimm said And I think where you are today is an inspiration for other people because so she'll still be in touch with the court She can also continue to take part in sober activities offered through the program “Nobody wants to be an addict," Anderson said I don’t believe anybody wants the life they’re living in that moment But sometimes you feel hopeless and you don’t know where to go and what to do and that’s where I was at that point when I entered that program.” said she encourages participants to advocate for themselves when searching for a job or housing and share about the steps they're making in the program "We're a whole lot more than the worst decision we ever made," Prokosch said "Just giving people an opportunity is huge It can make a difference between their being successful and not."

Opinion split on road changeShould the state highway commission relocate the state highway now designated as running along the south shore of Lake Superior 13 the official state trunk road penetrating this part of Douglas county it will result in virtual adandonment of the project to build a lake shore drive right on the shore of the lake Arguments for and against this action were heard at the hearing on the matter in the county boar room in the courthouse Saturday afternoon Most of the arguments favored relocation of the road which would bring more funds to be spent on the Lakeside road maintenance engineer of the highway commission said that although the expense of building a road right along the lake shore would be great and such a project might not be undertaken for several years it was likely that at some future time the state legislature would gather all such projects in one group and provide for their financing Petitions protesting the new schedule of street cars operating on the Twenty-first street line now are in circulation among residents of that district The petitioners request the street railway company to so change its schedules of car operation that a fixed running schedule will be possible It is complained by the Twenty-first street patrons of the the cars that under the present schedules it is impossible for the patron to know whether the cars will run to the Sixth street loop or to Belknap and Tower only The terminal points of the cars are changed to enable the street railway company to meet all traffic demands during the rush hours of morning and evening The opening of Superior's new Androy hotel May 15 and 16 will be an informal affair to correct an erroneous impression that the opening festivities would be strictly formal Although tuxedos or evening dress will doubtless be worn it will not be necessary "We want this opening to be all inclusive and representative of the whole city of Superior," said Mr "It is for the 'home folks' and every effort is being made to have the opening an event long to be remembered by those who attend it."

pictures courtesy of retired librarian Judy Aunet with Superior Public Library SUPERIOR — Douglas County could help the city expand a program that provides land in exchange for in-fill new housing development the Land and Development Committee recommended the county sell three undeveloped parcels of land in the city of Superior for the Vacant to Value: New Construction program with room for a single house to be built on each are located on the 1800 block of East Ninth Street the 1900 block of Banks Avenue and the 1600 block of Ohio Avenue The parcels were taken by tax deed in 2014 and were put up for sale Serck said the city’s goal is to purchase the properties for the prices set for the parcels in 2014 The total cost for the buildable parcels would be $7,000 “We would put them in our Vacant to Value: New Construction program which is a program where we actually give lots away and people construct on them,” Serck said “… It’s been good to get properties back up and running again.” The first nine of those added over $34,000 to the tax rolls in Superior Two of the homes weren’t built at the time of last year’s assessments If approved by the Douglas County Board on May 15 the sale would double the city’s inventory of available land for new housing development We recognise you are attempting to access this website from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA)

meeting agendas few of the 50 members felt they were making an impact Douglas spent time finding out what members wanted to accomplish a typical BOV meeting attracts 150 to 180 people “Linda could

a positive part in their lives I got to be a part of that.’ It’s almost like being a mother except you don’t have to pay the bills When asked why she keeps demanding so much of herself Douglas laughed and said it was the way she was raised a close-knit black neighborhood about 10 to 15 minutes from Uptown Charlotte in the 1960s and 1970s Everything good that has ever happened to her can be traced back to that time and place and to the many caring adults from her church and schools who made time to reach out to her and lift her up Her mother and father — a housecleaner and a college-educated warehouse supervisor — taught all four of their children to work hard and follow the rules “My mother used to tell me I wasn’t as smart as my brothers and sister She also learned from her mother which fork to use at a formal dinner and the proper way to fold a linen napkin — lessons Douglas now passes on to the group of mentees she adopts each year She meets with each student throughout the semester to see how they are doing and takes the whole group out to lunch at the end of the semester “These students know she is there for them until they graduate and beyond.” she found a place where students — both black and white — were urged to pursue their dreams after court-ordered school busing to achieve integration started there in 1970 CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite described West Charlotte as a national model for integration Douglas said she felt the pride for her school most powerfully during Friday night football games when she took the field with the marching band “I would look up into the stands and see this big mix of white and black people all cheering together “That’s when I knew West Charlotte was a real school.” Douglas felt that same sense of pride at Carolina

a violation of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy (UFC ADP) Silva de Andrade tested positive for the presence of furosemide a prohibited at all times substance in the class of diuretics and masking agents on the UFC Prohibited List from an out of competition sample collected from him on February 14 Brazil.  Upon notification of this result from the laboratory to CSAD Silva de Andrade was removed from his upcoming scheduled bout immediately after making his contracted weight on February 28 Silva de Andrade provided a dietary supplement that he was consuming leading up to his sample provision on February 14 2025.  The supplement did not list furosemide on its label of listed ingredients.  The supplement was shipped to and analyzed by the Sport Medicine and Research Testing Laboratory (SMRTL) in Salt Lake City the testing and analysis laboratory of the UFC ADP.  SMRTL detected furosemide in the supplement at a level consistent with the presence in Silva da Andrade’s sample. Additionally a sealed container of the same supplement was independently procured by CSAD from Brazil and shipped to SMRTL for analysis.  The independently procured and sealed supplement also contained furosemide at a level consistent with the presence of furosemide in Silva da Andrade’s sample To ensure that UFC athletes do not consume contaminated supplements like this one that can lead to adverse findings all UFC athletes are educated that the only dietary supplements they should consume should be 3rd party tested by one of the UFC ADP’s approved dietary supplement 3rd party certification programs. Information about 3rd party supplement testing and the UFC’s approved supplement testing programs can be found at ufcantidoping.com.  While there was no evidence of the intentional use of furosemide by Silva da Andrade he did not follow the UFC ADP directions to UFC athletes to ONLY consume approved 3rd party tested supplements.  Silva da Andrade’s 6-month suspension began on February 28 the date on which he was placed under a provisional suspension and removed from his upcoming card.  Under the UFC ADP he will be eligible to compete again in UFC events on August 28 CSAD has also provided this result and other information to the Nevada Athletic Commission who retains jurisdiction over this case due to Silva de Andrade’s scheduled bout in Nevada at the time this sample was collected CSAD independently administers the year-round anti-doping program for all UFC athletes.  All biological sample collections and shipping under the UFC ADP are conducted by Drug Free Sport International (DFSI) the global leader in the anti-doping industry with more than 5,000 collection personnel worldwide.  All information concerning the UFC ADP including all of its written policies and athlete test statistics can be located at ufcantidoping.com.  These policies are available in multiple languages CSAD also makes available a reporting mechanism for known and suspected abuse of
