Bound for Canaan $10.99 An important book of epic scope on America’s first racially integrated, religiously inspired movement for change The civil war brought to a climax the country’s bitter division. But the beginnings of slavery’s denouement can be traced to a courageous band of ordinary Americans, black and white, slave and free, who joined forces to create what would come to be known as the Underground Railroad, a movement that occupies as romantic a place in the nation’s imagination as the Lewis and Clark expedition. The true story of the Underground Railroad is much more morally complex and politically divisive than even the myths suggest. Against a backdrop of the country’s westward expansion arose a fierce clash of values that was nothing less than a war for the country’s soul. Not since the American Revolution had the country engaged in an act of such vast and profound civil disobedience that not only challenged prevailing mores but also subverted federal law. Bound for Canaan tells the stories of men and women like David Ruggles, who invented the black underground in New York City; bold Quakers like Isaac Hopper and Levi Coffin, who risked their lives to build the Underground Railroad; and the inimitable Harriet Tubman. Interweaving thrilling personal stories with the politics of slavery and abolition, Bound for Canaan shows how the Underground Railroad gave birth to this country’s first racially integrated, religiously inspired movement for social change. |

Hank Williams, Jr.’s Greatest Hits, Vol.1 $2.80 This is Hank Jr. in his late-’70s/early-’80s version, that brief moment after he’d discovered a sound and persona that wasn’t just inherited but before he devolved into a good-old-boy caricature. Not that Bocephus isn’t engaging in some posturing here already–the preposterous “Texas Women,” for example, could stand unaltered as a Saturday Night Live parody of redneck lechery. More often, though, … |

Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin $4.50 While Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, the 1968 album that made Cash a household word, spent only two weeks at No. 1, this 1969 follow-up topped the charts for 20 weeks. As with Folsom, the San Quentin LP had to be edited due to space limitations. Now, 31 years after the fact, the show can at last be heard in true perspective. All the original performances hold up, including the album’s hit single: S… |
Other Pests Carefully Watched Other Than Mediterranean Fly
The Mediterranean fruit fly infestation in California was unlikely to pose any problems for the other states, but a Kansas agricultural law which has been in effect since 1907 offers protection from it and similar pests which might enter Kansas from other states. The affected areas in California were not really the fruit farms so maggot contaminated fruits entering Kansas was not really a problem. We do not expect any more damage caused by the flies even if they make it to the state because by the time that happens, they would be dying.
It is unbelievable that a Mediterranean fruit fly will live through the Kansas winter. The US has had other pestering made by Mediterranean fruit flies in the past and this incident in California was not the first. Florida had five infestations in the past, Texas had one, and California had two successive years of the said plague. Malathion insecticide, traps, lures and freeing of sterile male flies are among the known past techniques to solve the infestation. Further education on the subject of pest control can be found at organic pest control services.
The entire state received a message on the agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture which lays out the unified guideline for the state and its officials in case of emergency. A nationwide catastrophe plan is in effect wherein increased manpower is catching the insects and forcing eradication. Annihilation techniques included catching in identified areas that have been affected and nearby areas, releasing of sterile male flies to lessen the population and aerosol spraying of Malathion to exterminate the population.
The government has a means of weighing the benefits versus the dangers of segregation if ever it will be thought as the next resort. The chosen technique should be economically possible, realistic, and could take effect before the insects start spreading. Before the state declares isolation, a public hearing should be done. If quarantine is put into effect by the federal government, it will mean that no fruit can leave the state unless it is certified to have been fumigated or treated with cold for a specified amount of time or that it was grown in an area of the state where the pest does not exist.
The Kansas plant pest act declares it illegal to offend a condition of a governmental quarantine by bringing in a product that is on quarantine into a state in defiance to the established rules. The entomology division is always alert for pests that could be disadvantageous to Kansas. Out of state pests that are truly troubling include the gypsy moth, Japanese beetle, soybean cyst nematode, and witch weed which are found in other states but Kansas and are being studied by entomologists to be trapped. To enjoy more quality pest control information make sure to visit building inspector.
Other states should also be alert about the pests that could come from Kansas. California, for example, warrants that corn and sorghum grains from Kansas be cured by fumigation or checked out before being brought inside state due to the existence of the European corn borer, a plant vermin which now is in Kansas but not in California. Kansas apples are not free to enter California without being treated prior to exiting Kansas because of the presence of plumb curculio and apple maggot. All states have regulations designed to keep pests from moving from one area to another, as do other countries which require the Kansas state board of agriculture to certify grain shipments from Kansas free from certain pests before they can be exported.
