A lazy days rowing on Lake Palmer turned into a life or death rescue yesterday, when a womans boat capsized and she was washed over
the weir at the lakes eastern end.
The drama unfolded at 2:30pm during a normally tranquil public
session, when the woman, as yet unnamed, was attempting to free
herself from a sand bar.
"Iheard a shout and a splash" said Marie Hall, 28, who was kayaking
with her husband and two children. I could see the woman in the
water without a life jacket, and I didn't even have time to react before
the current pulled her down the weir..."
Moya Stevenson, a paramedic who treated the rescued woman for
shock, was unequivocal in her response to the lucky escape. "The
message is clear always wear a life jacket when you're out on the
water."

In which part of this excerpt from the gettysburg address does president abraham lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the determination and loyalty of northern citizens? four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. we are met on a great battle-field of that war. we have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow— this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
