Deinosuchus is an extinct genus of alligatoroid crocodilian, related to modern alligators and caimans, that lived throughout what is now North America during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period some 82 to 73 million years ago. The first remains of Deinosuchus consists of 2 massive teeth were unearthed in North Carolina by geologist Ebenezer Emmons in 1858. Emmons assigned these teeth to Polyptychodon a species of pliosaur. In 1869 yet more teeth would be unearthed from North Carolina by Edward Drinker Cope which he thought belonged to an indeterminate archosaur and named Polydectes biturgidus. Later in 1903, at Willow Creek, Montana, several fossil osteoderms were discovered by John Bell Hatcher and T.W. Stanton. Which they initially thought belonged to the ankylosaurid dinosaur Euoplocephalus. Further excevations of the sight yeilded additional osteoderms, as well as vertebrae, ribs, and a pubis however when it became clear that theses bones belonged to a large crocodilian and not a dinosaur; Hatcher immediately lost interest, and it was his assistant W. J. Holland who studied and described the fossils, naming the beast Deinosuchus hatcheri, in 1909 from Greek deinos, meaning "terrible", and suchos, meaning "crocodile". Since then multiple remains of deinosuchus including several partial skulls where recovered in the 1940s and early 2000s from 10 U.S. states as well as Northern Mexico indicating that it lived on both sides of the Western Interior Seaway, with 4 species being currently recognized D. hatcheri, D. rugosus, D. riograndensis, & D. schwimmeri. Reaching 25 to 40ft (9 -12m) in length and 3 to 9 tons (2-8.5 metric tons) in weight, Deinosuchus was amongst the largest crocodilians to ever live only being rivaled in size by the likes of Purussaurus, Rhamphosuchus, and Sarcosuchus. In life it would have dwelled in lakes, coastlines, rivers, swamps, and estuaries occupying the niche of apex ambush predator feeding upon fish, crustaceans, turtles and other aquatic reptiles, pterosaurs, and even dinosaurs.

Joan C. Nowak, 78, of Milwaukee, formerly of Watertown, passed away on Thursday, June 8, 2023 at AccentCare Inpatient Center in Wauwatosa.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 17, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at Hafemeister Funeral Home in Watertown with Pastor Dean Noonan of Faith Baptist Church in Oak Creek officiating. Burial will follow at Ebenezer Moravian Cemetery in Watertown. Family and friends may gather at the funeral home from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service. Memorials, if desired, would be appreciated to the Salvation Army. Hafemeister Funeral Home and Cremation Service is serving the family. Online condolences may be made at www.hafemeisterfh.com.

Joan Carol Nowak (a.k.a. Joanie-Baloney) was born on February 23, 1945 in Watertown to Raymond and Arvada (Jeche) Tessmann. She graduated from Bob Jones University and later received her Masters plus 30 degree. She was also a Fulbright scholar, which embarked her on her first trip of many to Germany. After that, Joan began her German teaching career for a short time in Racine and then for 33 years at Oak Creek High School. On July 23, 1993 she married David C. Nowak, the love of her life. They were married at Graceland Wedding Chapel by an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas. They gracefully went through their mid-life crises together by purchasing a Harley and each getting tattoos!

Joan loved her grandchildren (Little Man, and Layla) tremendously and spoiled them at every chance! She had a great sense of humor and had many ‘Joan-isims’ such as ‘it be what it be’, ‘oh baby, oh baby’, ‘Colorado barking spider’, and ‘how nice’. She saw the good in everyone and was such a giving person. Joan liked music, playing the violin, and singing. She enjoyed traveling and took hundreds of students to Germany, without ever losing anyone! She loved living in Arizona and going down to Nogales, Mexico, just across the border. She took her last vacation in December on a family trip to Negril, Jamaica. Joan loved the Lord, church, and life. Her faith in Jesus and hope in the promise of heaven, kept her going, especially in her tough times with Dementia. She truly was a one-of-a-kind person and will be deeply missed by all that knew her.

Joan is survived by her two children: Nathan Paul Carlson, Amy (Brandon) Leitheiser; two grandchildren: Layla & Everett Leitheiser; siblings: Nancy (Ronald “Loop”) Spiegelhoff of Oconomowoc, Richard “Dick” Tessmann of Sterling, IL, Dave (Joanne) Tessmann of Travelers Rest, SC; as well as other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents and husband David on February 10, 2019.

Song Review: Sierra Hull - “Old Ebenezer Scrooge”

- Video of 10-year-old Hull jamming with Chris Thile surfaces

Though she’s known primarily as a mandolinist, Sierra Hull is a mean guitarist as well. And she put her skills to serious use on “Old Ebenezer Scrooge.”

A child prodigy, Hull learned literally at the feet of the best, as newly surfaced footage of her jamming with Chris Thile at the 2002 MerleFest attests. Chewing gum and with sunglasses perched on her head, the then-10-year-old watches Thile intently as they sit backstage metaphorically fiddling around (on mando) and she absorbs his technique.

Recorded at Paste Studios, Hull’s take on Bill Monroe’s instrumental, quasi-holiday song is short - 90 seconds - wicked, too, as Hull peels off rapid-fire arpeggios that seem to personify ol’ Scrooge.

At 29, Hull still has plenty of time to improve. And as anyone who’s witnessed her on stage can attest, that’s as scary a proposition as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

Hi! I remember youve done awesome Christmas special abt year ago. Do you have any plans for this year maybe? There was Christmas carol setted in Veronaville and Strangetown...but how abt Pleasantview ? It would be incredible cool to see Mortimer as Ebenezer one day! 💗

This year I was too busy playing Owl Creek!

And, while I love all versions of A Christmas Carol, I think once was enough for me! If I ever do another holiday special, I want to try something completely different.

Abraham Lincoln: Hero or Villain?

The Civil War in the United States was a war between the North and South, rooted in arguments about slavery and the South's seperation from the United States' Union starting in 1861 and ending in 1865. The Emancipation Proclamation was when Lincoln set enslaved people in the South free in 1863. Although many see him as a hero, I believe Abraham Lincoln shouldn't be viewed as a hero for emancipating enslaved people because he never cared about the lives and struggles of enslaved and free people, only about how it benefited him, his only reason behind emancipating the slaves was to get new soldiers, and he only wanted to hurt the Confederate states' economy.

One reason Abraham Lincoln should not be considered a hero is because he only thought about enslaved people when he was losing the Civil War.  According to PBS, “Lincoln continued to insist that this was a war to preserve the Union, not to free slaves. But by 1862, Lincoln was considering emancipation as a necessary military step toward winning the war.” This shows that Lincoln didn't think about enslaved people in the south until he was losing the Civil War and realized that he could use the people to win it. Plus, he only emancipated people in the south, as he feared he lose the support of the states in the Union after emancipating slaves in the north.

Another reason Abraham Lincoln should not be seen as a hero is because he didn't care about how enslaved people struggled after being free without any rights or work. He only made the decision to give them land after an incident occured where the Union's image could be damaged. According to Source 7,  “A union soldier had leaked the story of the Tragedy at Ebenezer Creek to the press. Here had been a case where the Union side and the Confederate side had both been in part responsible for a tragedy of racial injustice. In response, President Abraham Lincoln sent Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to Georgia to talk with General Sherman about the issue of no structures for the freed-people to guide them toward supporting themselves.” This shows that Lincoln only cared about how the freed people and how they lived when it affected how the Union would be seen. It showed how the Confederacy was not the only side to blame when talking about slavery. Lincoln made no effort to even try to protect freed people and it showed during the tragedy at Ebenezer Creek.

In conclusion, Abraham Lincoln should not be viewed as a hero because he didn't care about the freed people  until the Union's image and reputation was being jeopardized. Lincoln only showed a slimmer of care when the Union refused to let the freed-people cross their bridge and left them for dead, where he issued Forty Acres and a Mule, but Lincoln had no other reason for it other than saving the Union's image. Another thing Lincoln had little to no reasons for was emancipating enslaved people. He only did it to save the Union from losing the Civil War. If the Union had a lead over the Confederacy in those moments, how do we know Lincoln still would've emancipated enslaved people?

Abraham Lincoln is not a hero

 The Civil War in the United States was to preserve  the states back to one. So the civil war started in 1861  and ended in 1685 but there was a change  to the plan that was where the start of  The Emancipation Proclamation started. Abraham Lincoln  stared to free the slave in 1863.  Abraham Lincoln should not be considered a hero because he only freed them when he needed to  

One reson why President Lincoln should not be viewed as a hero for emancipating enslaved people is  because Abraham Lincoln only used the slaves for the nessesary help for the army and when they where not needed anymore  Abraham Lincoln just let the freed people die in  Ebenezer creek.  According to Source  5 “emancipation as a necessary military step toward winning the war. The South was using enslaved people to aid the war effort. In the South black men and women were forced to build fortifications, work as blacksmiths, nurses, boatmen, wash clothes, and to work in factories, hospitals, and armories. In the meantime, the North was refusing to accept the services of black volunteers and freed slaves, the very people who most wanted to defeat the slaveholders. In addition, several governments in Europe were considering recognizing the Confederacy and intervening against the Union. If Lincoln declared this a war to free the slaves, European public opinion would over whelmingly back the North.”  This explains how Abraham Lincon used the freed people for the necessary help in the army and it worked, but it was not freedom to the people, because they weren't totally liberated, he needed them and continued using them.  The liberation of slaves did not give them freedom, but instead kept them in service just in a  different type of service, which came with a great chance of death.

Another reason why Abraham Lincon is not a hero is because he didn't value black Americans' lives as seen in Ebenezer creek . According to source 7  “ Fearful that the large trail  of freed-people had been slowing down General Sherman's army, Brigadier General Jefferson C. This explains that Abraham Lincon is not a hero because he just let his army leave the freed people there to die. If Abraham Lincoln actually cared for the freed people he would have said they are working with you so if something were to happen you have to take them with you. Technically they are working together the freed slave are working as extra help for the military.

       Last, “The Confederate troops approach on the same side of the creek that the freed-people were abandoned”.Last The freed-people beg across the river to the union soldiers for help”.  This explains how the union group let the freed people there to beg for freedom. This also explains how Abraham Lincoln  didn't care about black Americans' lives because he just let them to plead  for help in Ebeneezer creek.  This is important because this shows us how he only used them and when they became too much he just let them die. 

         In conclusion  Abraham Lincoln should not be considered a hero because he only used the slave for what he need them. Abraham Lincoln also just let them die when the freed people trusted him the most. If Abraham Lincoln  were to be a hero he would have paid the same. He would make a big deal about the Ebeneezer creek incident by taking the title of David away.
