kingfisher tower castle

Edward Clark, an attorney from New York City, had made a fortune by sharing in the Singer Sewing Machine millions with inventor Issac Singer. After building several mansions, a hospital, a hotel, and several other public buildings in and around Cooperstown, New York, he commissioned the construction of 60ft. tall Kingfisher Tower "to beautify the lake" (Otsego Lake). This is a whimsical structure built strictly for asthetic purposes by a civic-minded millionaire.

Later, I recieved E-Mail that said:

As excerpted from a September 1876 article in The Freeman's Journal written by Edward Clark, the builder/owner, himself:

" ... Kingfisher Tower is a miniature castle, after the style of the eleventh and twelfth centuries .... The tower is about 20 feet sq. at the base, and at a height of five feet above the water is the main floor. Ten feet above this is the first platform, provided with ramparts and machicolated parapets.

"Above this stage the tower alone rises, eight feet sq., crowned with a pyramidal roof pierced with a window on each side, the walls bearing at one angle a bartizan with conical roof. The walls of the structure are most solidly built of stone from the shores of the Lake, the roofs covered with earthen tiles ... The main windows are brilliant with stained glass, and each bears in the center a heraldic shield. When first built a drawbridge connected the castle with the causeway running to the main land, while a portcullis could be lowered to close the entrance.

"The drawbridge, portcullis and doors were all of solid oak. Stairs lead to the highest platform of the tower, and from the numerous openings and loopholes with which the walls are pierced, a fine panoramic view of the lake and county can be obtained. ... The original design for "Kingfisher Tower" was selected from several drawn by Henry J. Hardenburgh, Esq., architect.

Of note, Mr. Clark was actually criticized for his folly as few people saw, at the time, the benefit of having such an attraction on the Lake. Today however it is a loved landmark which is still owned by the descendants of Edward Clark. Please note the castle is very private, no tours are available, and outside of viewing it from a boat no other attempts to occupy castle should be attempted :)

Aaron Nesmith commits flagrant foul on Flagg by the numbers

 INDIANAPOLIS -- A jarring flagrant foul knocked Cooper Flagg awkwardly to the floor and eventually out of the game Friday night.

Now it's unclear whether the Dallas Mavericks star will miss more time.

Last season's NBA Rookie of the Year did not play in the second half of Dallas' 121-105 victory Friday night over the Indiana Pacers after landing hard on his left shoulder after Aaron Nesmith tried to block his shot from behind to prevent a breakaway dunk.

Instead, Flagg landed hard on his shoulder, the same one he injured as a rookie.

"Cooper has left shoulder soreness, he'll be evaluated in the next couple of days," Mavericks coach Dusty May said before addressing whether Flagg needed an MRI. "I really don't know. I saw him in the locker room, he's in good spirits. We'll know in the next couple days what's next."

Score was  73-40 Dallas ahead

73+40=113.  Dallas=113 National Basketball Association=113.  Bullshit=113. Not true=113

Wu’s financial support comes from some of Wichita’s wealthiest, most powerful backers: an assortment of local developers, bankers and CEOs — including billionaire Phil Ruffin, Spirit Aerosystems CEO Tom Gentile, Stephen Clark, Steve Barrett, Johnny Stevens, Jon Rolph, Wink Hartman and Colby Sandlian. Wu also has the support of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a political action group started by Charles Koch. AFP has paid for at least six mailings for Wu during the primary. Her campaign paid for at least an additional two. 

In her answers to The Beacon’s questions to mayoral candidates, Wu acknowledged her close ties to developers — including her boyfriend, Stephen Clark II, the first person to donate to her campaign. “Real estate development is necessary for growth,” Wu told The Beacon. “It brings affordable housing, retail, restaurants, hotels and other amenities that help increase our quality of life.”

 🚩 Is there something about this soccer field in Wichita, Kansas? Because the history surrounding this location is absolutely chilling.

After today’s unimaginable tragedy at the Stryker Sports Complex, where a woman drove a pickup truck through a youth soccer game, killing a 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man, I came across something that gave me chills.

This isn’t the first time people have been killed at this same soccer field at this very intersection.

This is where the Wichita Massacre took place almost 26 years ago. 

On December 15, 2000, brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr committed one of the most horrific crimes in Kansas history, now known as the Wichita Massacre.

After breaking into a home and terrorizing five people for hours, the brothers forced their victims into vehicles and drove them to a snow-covered soccer field near 29th Street North and Greenwich Road in Wichita.

There, they lined up all five victims and shot them in the head.

But it gets even more horrifying.

🚩 The brothers then drove a truck over their victims before fleeing. 😳 WHAT?!

Four people were killed: Aaron Sander, 29, Brad Heyka, 27, Jason Befort, 26, and Heather Muller, 25.

Miraculously, a fifth victim survived and helped bring the brothers to justice. Because the bullet ricocheted off of her hair clip. 

Now, nearly 26 years later, another horrifying tragedy has unfolded at the soccer complex at that same intersection.

A 34-year-old woman drove a pickup truck through a field filled with children and parents watching a soccer game. Two people lost their lives, and numerous others were injured.

Police are still investigating why it happened. 

Almost 26 years apart. Two horrific tragedies. Soccer fields at the same Wichita intersection.

Had you ever heard about the Wichita Massacre? And does anyone from Wichita remember the original soccer field and how it relates to today’s complex?

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - 8:12 p.m. Update: Wichita police said a 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man, both from McPherson, died Saturday afternoon after a truck plowed onto a field during a youth soccer game at the Stryker Sports Complex in east Wichita.

Eleven other people were taken to the hospital with traumatic injuries. Police released their ages.

State of Emergency declared in Ocean County as 11,500 acre wildfire continues burning in NJ

 OCEAN TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- A State of Emergency has been declared in Ocean County as a raging wildfire continues to burn, according to Acting New Jersey Governor Tahesha Way. The fire, which began Tuesday morning, has consumed thousands of acres and forced some residents to flee their homes

In an update just before 11 a.m. on Wednesday, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service said the blaze has grown to 11,500 acres with 30% containment. They expect the number of impacted acres to grow before the fire is fully contained.

Officials also said this could end up being the largest wildfire in New Jersey in 20 years.

This, as 100 firefighters continue to battle the blaze.

While the fire is still very active, fire officials said they expect it to grow in unpopulated areas.

Based on the weather forecast, the fire is expected to continue until we get rain, which should move into the area Friday night into Saturday.

Way, who has stepped in as Gov. Phil Murphy travels to Poland, posted on social media, saying there has been no loss of life and no homes have been damaged.

Officials said approximately 1,320 structures were threatened but said no residential structures have been lost. However, one commercial building, as well as multiple outbuildings and vehicles have been destroyed by the fire.

All evacuation orders have been lifted, and the Garden State Parkway and Route 9 have reopened in both directions as of Wednesday morning, according to officials.
