This is Part 7 of the seriesof articles about the history,proper display, handling, anddisposing of the American flag.Last month I wrote about thecontroversy surrounding what isknown as the Betsy Ross flag.This month I am addressing thehistory of the Gadsden flag.

As with the Betsy Rossflag, some have been calling theGadsden flag a symbol of rac-ism. In order to dispel this no-tion, the history of the flag isbelow. Remember, just becausea racist organization adopts ahistoric flag does not make thatflag a symbol of their racist

Our Nation’s EmblemPart 7

views.The Gadsden flag came

into being during the early daysof the American Revolution. Itwas in the fall of 1775 when the

British were occupying Bostonand the newly formed Continen-tal Army was holed up in Cam-bridge. They were very shorton arms and ammunition. At thebattle of Bunker Hill, the armywas so short on ammunition,they were ordered “not to fireuntil you see the whites of theireyes.”

In October of that year it

was learned that one ofEngland’s ships was on its wayto America loaded with armsand ammunition. It was thenthat the Continental Congressauthorized the creation of theContinental Navy and fivecompanies of Marines in orderto capture that ship with thesupplies so needed for theArmy.

The Marines that enlistedfrom Philadelphia were carry-ing drums painted yellow, em-blazoned with a rattlesnakecoiled and ready to strike withthe words “Don’t Tread onMe.” A few months later a per-son who identified himself onlyas “An American Guesser”wrote to the PennsylvaniaJournal part of which is below.

“I observed on one of thedrums belonging to the marinesnow raising, there was painteda Rattle-Snake, with this mod-est motto under it, ‘Don’t treadon me.’ As I know it is the cus-tom to have some device onthe arms of every country, Isupposed this may have beenintended for the arms ofAmerica.” He continued byspeculating on why the snakemay be a fitting symbol forAmerica.

“The Rattle-Snake isfound in no other quarter ofthe world besides America.”

The rattlesnake also hassharp eyes, and “may there-fore be esteemed an emblemof vigilance.” Furthermore,“She never begins an attack,

nor, when once engaged, eversurrenders: She is therefore anemblem of magnanimity andtrue courage. ... she neverwounds ‘till she has generouslygiven notice, even to her en-emy, and cautioned him againstthe danger of treading on her.”

“I confess I was whollyat a loss what to make of therattles, ‘till I went back andcounted them and found themjust thirteen, exactly the num-ber of the Colonies united inAmerica; and I recollected toothat this was the only part ofthe Snake which increased innumbers. ...

“’Tis curious and amaz-ing to observe how distinct andindependent of each other therattles of this animal are, andyet how firmly they are unitedtogether, so as never to beseparated but by breakingthem to pieces. One of thoserattles singly, is incapable ofproducing sound, but the ring-ing of thirteen together, is suf-ficient to alarm the boldest man

living.”The Gadsden flag is

named after ChristopherGadsden, an American patriotand colonel in the Continentalarmy from South Carolina.Christopher Gadsden pre-sented to Esek Hopkins, thenew commander-in-chief ofthe navy, the “Don’t Tread onMe” flag to be used as thenavy’s standard. It has sincebeen known as the Gadsdenflag.

Christopher Gadsden alsopresented a copy of this flagto his state legislature inCharleston whish is recordedin the South Carolina congres-sional record: “Col. Gadsdenpresented to the Congress anelegant standard, such as is tobe used by the commander inchief of the American navy;being a yellow field, with alively representation of a rattle-snake in the middle, in the at-titude of going to strike, andthese words underneath,“Don’t Tread on Me!”

I suspect if you are read-ing this that either you or some-one you know has had skin can-cer. In the U.S., more than9,500 people are diagnosed withskin cancer every day. One infive Americans will develop skincancer by the age of 70.

So what does skin can-cer looks like? It can be a molethat looks different from yourother moles (i.e. the “ugly duck-ling”). It can be a dome-shapedgrowth, a scaly patch, a non-healing sore or sore that healsand returns, a brown or blackstreak under a nail, or anythingthat is changing, bleeding or itch-ing.

Unfortunately, skin cancercan sometimes look like apimple, bug bite or ingrown hair.

How Can I Tell If IHave Skin Cancer?By Dr. Steven Peine Many people will wait months

or years hoping their “pimple”or “bug bite” goes away on itsown. These normal things usu-ally resolve within 1 month. Ifit lasts longer than a month, getit checked out.

The best way to find skincancer is to examine yourselfregularly. When checking, youwant to look everywhere —from your scalp to the spaces

between your toes and the bot-toms of your feet. A hand-heldmirror is helpful, and, if possible,have a partner examine hard-to-see areas like your scalp andback. Getting in the habit ofchecking your skin regularly willhelp you notice changes.

If you have concerns aboutany areas on your skin, youshould be examined by a board-certified Dermatologist. If youare over 50, you should have askin exam done annually.

At VIVIDA Dermatology,I am accepting new patients andwould be happy to see you. Wehave a wonderful staff, and theclinic is conveniently located inthe Coral Desert Health Center(3 story building). Please call435-673-5373 to schedule anappointment.

In future articles, I will bediscussing the different types ofskin cancer, skin cancer treat-ments including Mohs micro-graphic surgery, and skin can-cer prevention.

Dr. Steven Peine is aBoard-Certified Dermatologist

and Fellowship-trained Mohsmicrographic surgeon with ex-tensive training in the diagno-sis and treatment of all typesof skin cancer. He was raisedin the St. George area and at-tended Dixie College and thenthe University of Utah. He re-

There are strange thingsdone in the midnight sun

By the men who moil forgold;

The Arctic trails have theirsecret tales

That would make yourblood run cold;

The Northern Lights haveseen queer sights,

But the queerest they everdid see

Was that night on the margeof Lake Lebarge

I cremated Sam McGee.Robert Service’s poem, “The

Cremation of Sam McGee,” tells thetale of two gold miners in the Yukonand one man’s “last request.” WhenI was in middle school, I was as-signed to memorize a few of its stan-zas. The unique subject matter

caught myattention,and it’s apoem thatan eighth-grade boycan actuallyenjoy. Ashe lay dying,Sam asked

his friend “to swear that, foul or fair,you’ll cremate my last remains.”The best part, of course, is whenSam is later discovered sitting upenjoying his own cremation. Samhated the cold, and it was the firsttime he’d been warm since he lefthis home in Tennessee. No, I’venever seen anything quite that un-usual in my crematory, but for me,the poem has a deeper meaning.Sam’s friend went through quite anordeal to fulfill his last request. Hetied Sam’s corpse to his sleigh andtraveled through frigid temperatures

until he found a suitable place to cre-mate his friend, for “a promise madeis a debt unpaid.”

Would You Remarry?“Dear,” asked a wife.

“What would you do if I died?””Why dear, I would be ex-tremely upset,” said the hus-band. “Why do you ask such aquestion?” ”Would you re-marry?” persevered the wife.”No, of course not, dear” saidthe husband. ”Don’t you likebeing married?” asked thewife. ”Of course I do, dear” hesaid. ”Then why wouldn’t youremarry?” ”All right,” said the

husband, “I’d remarry.” ”Youwould?” said the wife, lookingvaguely hurt.

Yes,” said the husband.”Would you sleep with her inour bed?” asked the wife.After a long pause, “Well, yes,I suppose I would,” replied thehusband. ”I see,” said the wifeindignantly. “And would youlet her wear my old clothes?””I suppose, if she wanted to,”said the husband. ”Really,”said the wife icily. “And wouldyou take down the pictures ofme and replace them with pic-tures of her?” ”Yes. I think thatwould be the correct thing todo.” ”Is that so?” said the wife,leaping to her feet. “And I sup-pose you’d let her play with mygolf clubs, too!?” ”Of coursenot, dear,” said the husband.“She’s left-handed.”

Who Makes The Cof-fee?

A man and his wife werehaving an argument about whoshould brew the coffee eachmorning. The wife said, “Youshould do it, because you getup first, and then we don’thave to wait as long to get ourcoffee”. The husband said, “You are in charge of the cook-ing around here and you shoulddo it, because that is your job,and I can just wait for my cof-fee.” Wife replies, “No youshould do it, and besides it isin the Bible that the man shoulddo the coffee.” Husband re-plies, “ I can’t believe that,show me.” So she fetched theBible, and opened the NewTestament and shows him atthe top of several pages, that itindeed says: ”HEBREWS”.

dent in Leadville, so she hadto support herself – naturally,playing poker (the only tradeshe knew.) Apparently, shewas a shark at the trade.

She soon was travel-ing all over the west: NewMexico, Arizona, Oklahoma,Kansas, Texas, South Da-kota. In New Mexico shebroke the bank at one of thesaloons, and the dealer wasforced to close the game.Alice took over and played allnight with any of the men

who ventured to join thetable. She left with a tidyprofit.

In Deadwood, sheplayed regularly with Warren

G. Tubbs, a renowned painterof western art. She finallymarried the man and the two

often were adversaries at thegaming table , but Tubbsnever had much luck andAlice beat him regularly.

During his final years,Alice became his caretaker.His life was shortened by tu-berculosis acquired, theysaid, while painting with leadpaints. He passed in themiddle of winter and Alicecouldn’t bury him until adriving blizzard had finallyended. Then she had to hockher wedding ring to pay forhis services.

Still in grief, Alicemoved to Deadwood again,then to Rapid City, and on toSturgis. Once there, she metand married George Huckert,but the union didn’t last long– he died soon after, andAlice was widowed for athird time. Once again brokeand single, she went back todealing cards – and search-ing for suckers.

In Sturgis, she ran apoker es tab l i shment andbootlegged alcohol to supportherse l f un t i l p rohib i t ionclosed her down. Alice sur-vived, catering to the soldiersstationed at Fort Meade byrunning a cat house. But, her

luck as a poker p layerseemed to run out.

During the waningyears of her life, years at thetab le , a t the bar, in thebackroom, on the trail, on thetrain, with the wrong menand the diseases they carriedtook their tol ls . Al ice’sbeauty faded and too manycigars and cigarettes ate awayat her face and lungs – shecoughed incessantly. Herclothes were old, skirts wereworn, men’s shirts sagged onher and a tattered ten-gallonha t became s ta ined andstrained. Though the thrill ofthe early days were gone, shecontinued to play poker wellinto her sixties – and she wona lot more than she lost. Butthe pots were smaller and theparticipants smaller too. Shelived into her seventies, dy-ing in 1930. She passedaway on February 27th in aRapid City hospital with noone at her bedside. She isburied at St. Aloysius Cem-etery in the Black Hills.

Lepa Radic 6

Having difficultyfinding your

Senior Sampler?

Don’t forget it can be viewed onlineat:


Gratefully, Lepa and DaraRadic accepted the blanket from a

Serbian guard who felt sorry forthem as they lay on wooden bunks,with no mattresses, and only oneblanket apiece is this unheated cell.They felt this blanket would makethe difference between life and deathfor them, as they lay cuddled to-gether for warmth, with both theirblankets covering their shivering

bodies to stay the cold. They hadonly been there two days and thingslooked bleak, the Ustashe had toldthe guards the girlswould have only water,no food. On the thirdday the girls were takenfor questioning sepa-rately, each having been asked aboutthe burning rags, and each had de-nied being out of the house that day.Another day without food, and more

questioning, same questions sameanswers. On the fifth day they hada visit from their father, Svetozar

Radic, who brought some bread andcheese. The Ustashe interrogatortold Svetozar that he did not believethe girls story and they will be stay-ing in prison for a while. Energizedby the bread and cheese, Lepa andDara had their first warm restfulsleep knowing their father was work-ing to get them released. Svetozar

planned an escape for the girls withthe partisans, but it would requirethe girls to be patient for a whileuntil the Ustashe relaxed their vigi-lance. For the girls the time draggedby, the days turning into weeks withno indication of when they wouldbe released. On 23 December theSerbian guard who had giventhem the blanket unlocked theircell door and walked them out-side.

Summer Snow BallsBy Bev Rankin, aka, TheBread Lady

In this hot weather, ev-eryone will like eating Sum-mer Snow Balls! But exactlywhat a re Summer SnowBalls? They are sort of anice cream treat, sort of acandy treat, sort of a cookietreat and sort of a coconuttreat all rolled up into a littleball of goodness.

Since moving to South-ern Utah, this is the first timeI have made these delightfulcool goodies. It is harderhere than in WashingtonState because it is hotterhere. In order to make theselittle gems you’ll need a glassmeasuring cup, a watermelonballer, a slotted spoon, acookie sheet lined with parch-ment paper, a small bowl andthen the following ingredi-ents: ice cream, any flavor,

any kind; vanilla candy coat-ing; vanilla wafers; and, co-conut.

Using your watermelonballer, make 1 ice cream balland roll it in finely crushed

vanilla wafer cookies. Placeimmediately on a parchmentlined cookie sheet. Repeatuntil you have 5 or 6 ballscoated with cookie crumbs.Place in freezer. Continuethis process until you have allyour ice cream balls formedand ro l led in the cookiecrumbs. Freeze over night orunti l ice cream is frozensolid. Place 1-2 squares ofcandy coating in a glass mea-

suring cup. Microwave onhigh for 30 seconds and stiruntil it is completely meltedand smooth. You may haveto put it back in the micro-wave a second t ime toachieve the right consistency.Place one ice cream ball onyour slotted spoon and workit around in the candy coat-ing until it is completely cov-ered. Immediately remove itfrom the cup, shaking offany excess coating. Place itin the bowl filled with flakedcoconut and roll it around inthe coconut until the ball iscovered. Immediately placeit back on the cookie sheetand in the freezer. Continuethis process until all ice creamballs are coated with candyand coconut. I usually leavethese Snow Bal l s in thefreezer overnight, However,they seldom ever make it toa serving plate. We usuallyjust walk by the freezer,open it up, grab one and eatit. They are the perfect sizefor just popping into your

mouth! Try using chocolatecandy coating and crushedpecans or walnuts. Have fun

Summer snow balls

Principles Of Freedom

By Lynn West

Unfortunately, the term “po-litical education” has come to havethe connotation of propaganda dis-tribution, and for good reason.Special interests have made a lotof effort to influence what is taughtin government schools. Theyseem to feel they must eradicateall positive views of the foundersand support those who haveworked against the incrediblethings the founders accomplished.Politicians, radio and TV person-alities and a lot of public speakerstout what they tell us as educa-tional while promoting self andvilifying others. Even I, as an au-thor of these articles, have a view-point that I believe in and careabout sharing with all of you.

PoliticalEducation

With this in mind, I want toencourage every reader to take thetime and effort to actually informthemselves on a variety of politi-cal ideas. Spend time reading whatpolitical thinkers have to say, es-pecially those who have stood thetest of time. While I believe thatthe writings of Locke, Blackwood,Jefferson, Bastiat and most of ourFounders are of highest impor-tance, I also believe that it is im-portant to be conversant with theideas of Karl Marx, Adolf Hitlerand Chairman Mao. I don’t saythat because I believe them to beright, but because you can’t dis-cuss and find the problems withideas you don’t know and under-stand.

A few years ago, I had theopportunity to teach a number ofvery bright and highly motivatedyoung people about world views.We considered many differentapproaches to life and belief, aswell as the philosophical basis on

which those systems were cre-ated. I divided up the class intoteams that would research specificworld-views and then present anddefend them before the rest of theclass.

This was not done to getthem to believe a different world-view than they already had. It wasdone to help them understand thatthere is a believable frameworkfor almost any world-view andthen help them “deconstruct” thatframework to see where the weak-nesses and fallacies might exist.This type of critical thinking anddebate is sadly lacking in most ofour government schools and evensome of the private schools. Cur-rently, government (public)schools mostly teach socialist ideasand ignore or even marginalize thegreat thinkers that carefully craftedour Constitutional Republic.

Those founders were ex-tremely well-read and thoughtfulabout philosophy, styles of gov-ernment, the limitations thatshould be placed on power andthe overall concept that govern-ment should be a servant of the

people, not people being the ser-vants of governments. While ad-mittedly, such government is lessefficient than a totalitarian or dic-tatorial form, it is also proven tobe the best vehicle that has beencreated for providing opportunity,upward mobility, personal choiceand freedom and improved stan-dards of living for the citizens ofan entire country.

One of the greatest exer-cises in critical thought and de-bate anyone can enter into, is toread and think about the Feder-alist Papers and the Anti-Feder-alist Papers. These were pennedby a number of the Founders,but principally James Madison,Alexander Hamilton, PatrickHenry, John Williams, RichardHenry Lee and a number of oth-ers. Because they were writtenwith pen-names, it is often dif-ficult to be sure who wrotewhat. However, the ongoing de-bates within the two groups andbetween them created an opendialogue and an exchange ofideas that made our Constitutionand Bill of Rights the most pow-

erful guiding documents (alongwith the Declaration of Indepen-dence penned mostly by Tho-mas Jefferson) any nation hashad the fortune to be directedby. Without that vigorous debateand the understanding of thoseconcepts even by those who dis-agreed with some of them, wewould not have had the guidanceto become the most powerfuland prosperous nation the worldhas ever seen.

If we would take time toteach the rising generation thatlevel of thought and discourse,we might yet avoid the destruc-tion or watering down of thosesame freedoms and the result-ing prosperity and quality of life.

Shaun McCausland (akaLynn West) is a thinker, a teacherand a patriot. You can reach himthrough email [email protected] through this newspaper. Lib-erty is a state of being whichmust be continually created.These articles can help all of usdiscover the ways we can con-tribute to that outcome.

Here today. Gone to-morrow. A perfect descriptionof the Great Depression. Sto-ries about our ancestors wholived through the Great De-pression can help us developsurvival skills as we go throughthe challenges of life. If thoseancestors left a history of howthey survived the Great De-pression, lucky are we. If theydid not, not all is lost, and wecan piece together what lifewould have been like throughstories from siblings or eventhose who lived in the samecommunity. AdrianeRuggiero, in her book TheGreat Depression, states,“Listening to the voices of thepeople who lived through theera; we may hear our own par-ents, grandparents, and great-grandparents speaking. Theirvoices tell of shock and de-spair, but also of hope andcourage.”

The stories of hardshipand survival vary by location.Those who lived in the largercities were hit hardest. Dur-ing the 1920s there was a largemigration of the population tothe cities to work in the con-struction industry and heavymanufacturing such as steelproduction. When these indus-tries collapsed, the migrationreversed itself, and peopleheaded back to the familyfarm. If you notice in the1930s and 1940s U.S. censusrecords, there is a migration of

your family from the cityback to the family farm younow know why. In the city,food was scarce, and jobshard to find. Families had tolive with relatives or in shacksin makeshift cities calledHoovervilles.

The farmers were bet-ter off than the city dwellers.They could produce most oftheir food, so they didn’t haveto deal with the hunger. Butland ownership comes withtaxes and many times, debt.The threat of losing theirproperty hung over the headsof many farmers.

Did your family makeDepression Cake or Mock-apple pie with crackers sub-stituted for apples? Weresoup kitchens a part of theirlives? Hand-me-downs orhandmade clothing were apart of everyday life. Card-board patched the holes intheir shoes. Families couldn’tafford movies, so they boughtradios and listened to radioprograms for their entertain-ment. Board games becamepopular too.

What was your family’sexperience during the GreatDepression? What did theydo to overcome their hard-ships? These are great lessonsour children need to know.Difficulties may come theirway and what a great exampleour family history can be tohelp them survive.
