John Dolbeer (March 12, 1827-August 17, 1902) was known for revolutionizing the lumber industry with the invention of the Dolbeer Logging Engine, more commonly known as the donkey engine. Early years John Dolbeer was born in Epsom, Merrimack County, New Hampshire on March 12, 1827, the son of Nicholas Dolbeer and Esther Chase of New Rye. He left the family farm in 1850 at the age of 23 and set out to the California gold rush to make his fortune. By 1853 he had made connections in the Humboldt Bay area to establish the Bay Mill. Through failure and fires he survives and by 1864 teams with William Carson to form the Dolbeer and Carson Lumber Company. The company grew, and John Dolbeer became one of the most famous and influential personages in the Redwood industry in the State of California. Patents His several patents showed his ingenuity in problem solving, and he had an impact in all facets of the industry, from the actual lumbering operation itself, to transporting and exporting — even owning the barks and brigs to bring the lumber to worldwide markets. Among his most useful and successful patent was that for the Dolbeer Logging Engine in August of 1881.[2] This machine simply was a steam engine mounted on a wooden skid which would enable loggers to move giant longs across long distances to adjacent railways. The patent (Patent number: 256553) was issued April 18, 1882.[3] Other patents include an apparatus for steaming piles (Patent number: 333204) and a device used for measuring footage of timber cut by a sawmill (Patent number: 45482 Family In 1872, late in life, he married Harriet Schander, and in 1873 his son, Chase Dolbeer was born. He established his home on Lombard Street in San Francisco. Four years later, in 1877, the Dolbeers had their daughter, Bertha. Business continued to thrive, despite the fact that the Dolbeer amp; Carson Bay Mill burned down twice. It is about the time of the second fire that the personal life of Jonathan Dolbeer turned tragic. In 1879, Harriet commits suicide, and was called by the San Francisco Call quot;a suffering invalid quot; and in 1886, his son Chase was thrown from a wagon and died at the age of 13. His family endured yet a final tragedy after his death when on July 9, 1904, his daughter Bertha committed suicide at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, putting the battle for the estate in the California Courts through 1908.[ Estate John Dolbeer died in San Francisco from a heart ailment on August 17, 1902. He is laid to rest in Cypress Lawn Memorial Park, Colma, San Mateo County, California[5]. The bulk of his estate went to his lone surviving daughter Bertha, and was worth nearly one million dollars. Additional sums were given to several charities, and relatives in Epsom, including his niece Ellen Dolbeer Hall (daughter of his brother Calvin) and her husband, Charles Sumner Hall. There is now a prestigious scholarship awarded at the University of California, Berkeley in his name and honor.

Acadiana is one of the few pockets of American society that has its own unique heritage and culture, totally distinct from the rest of the country. In the middle of the 18th century, some of the original Acadians of Canada sought refuge in Louisiana after they were expelled from their homeland by the British. The Acadian people were primarily farmers of French nationality. They finally settled in south Louisiana and brought with them their own customs and traditions which have helped shape what is now known as Acadiana. The official capital of Acadiana is Lafayette, a fast-growing industrial, agricultural, and professional center. Surrounding Lafayette are several towns and villages carrying on the traditions of the Acadians, or Cajuns as they are commonly known.

[...] Today we ask everyone to remember the two diametrically opposed manifestations of human nature. On the one hand, as we do each year, we bow our heads before the victims, and we pray to God for the peace of their souls. Gazing upon the burned-out ruins of the synagogue, we remember all those innocent souls, those peace-loving civilians – seniors, children, infants, adults, young people, who were all indiscriminately killed in a brutal and inhuman manner, only because they belonged to the Jewish nation and religion. All that happened in the name of a racist Nazi ideology, one of the examples in human history of one group of people setting itself up as the only true representatives of humanity. It seems that only they personified those who are worthy of being called human, while others, for reasons that have varied greatly throughout history, are regarded as sub-human or non-human, and are excluded from the human family and deprived of all the rights and respect that anyone is entitled to by definition. Antisemitism and the Holocaust belong to the most overt and tragic manifestations of that attitude in the history of the world. Its very essence is based on not acknowledging another human being as our equal, as our brother and sister. In our struggle against this phenomenon in our land or anywhere in the world, we must look back to one fundamental right and principle – any human being belongs to the human race at birth, and all human beings are equal as homo sapiens. It has been scientifically proven that we are all related genetically and physiologically. We are one species, one human family. There can be no distinctions racially or in any other way, and we may never under any circumstances place any human group above the others. This is unjustifiable. While gazing upon the ruins of this synagogue and mourning for all those members of the Jewish community who are buried in marked and known graves as well as in graves that we are still searching for and will eventually identify and mark, there is one fundamental principle that we must remember – that they were all our brothers and sisters. Their loss is our loss as Latvians, their loss is a loss for all humanity. We can never let such a loss happen again, and it is this loss that we mourn. We condemn all those who had anything to do with it – both those who came by force-of-arms as occupiers, and those who, having a choice, chose to collaborate. In the case of people who committed inhuman crimes, we see an extreme manifestation of the way human beings ought not to be, of that which we must condemn and continue to fight and defend against, so that such individuals may not appear in our midst and may never gain power. This monument is proof of the other kind of human possibility, represented by individuals who are ready to defend their brothers by risking their lives, and in certain instances,by giving their lives for a brother in danger. It means regarding as a brother any other human being, not just someone of the same nationality or faith, simply because they are human beings. Zanis Lipke was such a person. He lived in an ordinary house in Pardaugava, where he risked his life and the lives of his wife Johanna and his sons Alfreds and Zigfrids, in order to save the lives of more than 30 individuals in his home. He also convinced some like-minded friends in the Dobele district to go along, and a whole group of people helped him to rescue many others. These people assumed a risk, and all those 269 individuals who are currently known, as well as tens of others about whom information is being gathered and for whom there is a place on the monument, all these people faced the threat of death in saving others. It is known that at least 40 of these were arrested by the Gestapo and sent to concentration camps where several also perished. This means that what Zanis Lipke and others like him were doing was a manifestation of a special kind of heroism. It is notable and praiseworthy enough to rescue someone in a moment when it is easy to offer a helping hand, but to save a person in a moment when it means risking your own life is truly a noble act. The idea of a monument to remember Zanis Lipke and other Latvian rescuers of Jews arose in the early years of my Presidency, and I wish to express my appreciation to all those who helped to move this project forward with great dedication, love and conviction. I will not be able to name all of them, but certainly a very leading role was played by Arkadiy Suharenko, head of the Jewish community. Very warm-hearted support for the project was provided by George Schwab, a member of our Commission of Historians, who is also a Holocaust survivor, and by his co-survivor Steven Springfield, who has been active in our Commission of Historians and is a survivor of the Holocaust and also of being arrested by the communists. My former freelance advisor Sol Bukingolt was also involved in this project, as were many others, to all of whom, including the ones I have not named, my sincerest thanks as President. This has been an important and vital project to me, and I am most grateful to all those who played an active role, including the Mayor or Riga and the City Council, who provided assistance in preparing this location so that it would provide an adequate and appropriate site for the monument. And now, from this day forward, by gathering in this place, we will have the opportunity to engage in balanced thinking about the essence and purpose of mankind. Inhumanity on the one hand, as attested by the ruins of this synagogue, unforgivable crimes which we must never forget - but on the other hand, a selfless dedication steeped in a humanist love of mankind, which characterised Zanis Lipke and others like him, who are immortalized in this monument. May they serve as our role models whose nobility we wish to emulate. quot; President's Chancery (04.07.2007)
