Memorial Day

 

Click on the button below to learn more about SLC soldiers in various wars:

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

 

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders Fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders Fields.

 

written by John McCrae, 1915.

 

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a luster to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

written by Moina MItchael - November 1918

Water Wheels!

Meet

 Darrell Dammen

Darrell is the owner of No-Waste Society Systems. This includes hydropower and wind power to reduce the use of petro-fuels.  Darrell has a vision to rebuild Water Wheels in northern New York at historic sites to make electric energy available to the communities and to promote tourism.  He has developed a new, more efficient electric generating water wheel type hydro motor named River Harness which eliminates fish injury.  Darrel is interested in installing water wheels in Canton, Madrid, Nicholville, Brasher Falls, Potsdam,  Rossie and Lamspson Falls just to name a few of the possible upstate NY sites.  Please contact Darrell if you are interested in helping him pursue this opportunity.
