Talk:Lawrence County, Missouri

Untitled
Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

Intro section
The statement about a "previous Lawrence County" is poorly written and extremely cryptic. That sentence mentions counties clear on the other side of the state that were supposedly derived from this "previous Lawrence County." What is this sentence saying? Can this be rewritten? I have no idea what "and many others, including this one" is supposed to mean, especially when the counties named before "many others" are counties in Southeast Missouri, while the Lawrence County of the present discussion is in Southwest Missouri. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtnbuilder (talk • contribs) 14:31, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe the problem is the previous Lawrence County actually became Lawrence County, Arkansas when Arkansas Territory was created in 1819 from what was the southern part of Missouri Territory. According to this Arkansas Democrat-Gazette article (paywall), what is now Arkansas' Lawrence County "extended from Fayetteville east to the Missouri boot heel and from the Arkansas River north into the Missouri Territory" when created in 1815; it was subsequently subdivided several times to its present boundaries. The two new counties Missouri created in 1818 (both also much larger then) were almost certainly in preparation for Missouri statehood, so that the remaining Lawrence County (then seated at what is now Davidsonville Historic State Park in Arkansas) could become part of Arkansas Territory. (Those counties today are generally closer to Lawrence County, Arkansas than the present Lawrence County, Missouri.) The question is, how do you put that in a proper reference? --RBBrittain (talk) 04:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Just figured it out and corrected the intro. --RBBrittain (talk) 04:51, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

History
The settlement of this district was begun in the winter of 1786-1787 by brothers Francois and Joseph Lesieur in the employ of Cerre, a fur trader and merchant of St. Louis. They had been sent down the Mississippi River in a canoe the previous year to select a suitable place for a trading post and had now come to build a house and begin trade with the Native Americans. They were very successful. The Delaware tribe brought in immense quantities of furs and skins, of which they readily disposed for powder and shot and such trifles as delight the heart of the savage. But so rich a mine could not be long concealed from Vincennes and other posts. The place soon became one of the best trading points in the country west of the Mississippi River and the name of “L'anse a la graisse” was bestowed upon it. But while these simple French traders were trafficking with the Native Americans and growing rich, the eyes of a man with a greater ambition were fixed upon the country. Col. George Morgan, a native of New Jersey who had been an officer in the American Army, while passing down the Mississippi River to New Orleans conceived the idea of building a great commercial city in the Spanish territory opposite or below the mouth of the Ohio River. He at once began negotiations with the Spanish government for a large grant of land, and by extravagant promises succeeded in obtaining it. He published a prospectus of the city which he proposed to lay out, and early in 1789, with a party of some 50 or 60 emigrants, descended the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to a point about a mile below the present town of New Madrid. His ambitious designs, however, were soon brought to an end. Gen. James Wilkinson was at this time intriguing with the Spanish Governor Miro at New Orleans for the purpose of inciting a rebellion of the people west of the Alleghenies against the U.S. government with the intention of attaching them to the Spanish government. He was very jealous of a rival, and such he conceived Col. Morgan to be. He conducted his negotiations through Gov. Miro, and in a letter to that officer stated that in connection with others he has applied for a grant in the Yazoo country in order “to destroy the place of a certain Col. Morgan.” He then went on to say:

“This Col. Morgan resides for the present with his family in the vicinity of Princeton, in New Jersey, but twenty or twenty-five years ago he used to trade with the Indians at Kaskaskia, in co-partnership with Boynton & Wharton. He is a man of education, and possesses an intelligent mind, but he is a deep and thorough speculator. He has already become twice a bankrupt, and according to the information I have lately received he is now in extremely necessitous circumstances. He was sent by a New Jersey company to New York in order to negotiate with Congress the purchase of a vast tract of land, comprising Cahokia and Kaskaskia. But whilst this affair was pending he found it to his interest to deal with Don Diego Gordoqui, and he discovered that it was more advantageous for him to shift his negotiations from the United States to Spain. The result was that he obtained, forsooth, the most extraordinary concession, which extends along the Mississippi from the mouth of the St. Francois River to Point Cinque Homme, in the West, containing from 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 of acres. I have not seen Morgan, nor am I acquainted with the particulars of his contract, but I have set a spy after him since his coming to these parts, and his going down the river to take possession of his new province, and through that spy I have collected the following information: That the intention of Morgan is to build a city on the west bank of the Mississippi, as near the mouth of the Ohio as the nature of ground may permit; that he intends selling his lands by small or large lots for a shilling an acre; that Don Diego Gordoqui pays all the costs of that establishment, and has undertaken to make that new town a free port to intercept all of the productions of this company on the most advantageous terms he may be able to secure from our people. Morgan departed from here on the beginning of this month to take possession of his territory, to survey it and to fix the site of the town, which will be called New Madrid. He took with him two surveyors and from forty to fifty persons beside.”

This letter produced upon Gov. Miro the effect desired by Wilkinson. On May 20, 1789, Miro wrote the Spainish concerning the policy of the conditions of the concession to Morgan and the extent of it. He denominated it an Imperium in Imperio and protested against it. He also wrote to Morgan, stating how he had been deceived in regard to the conditions and extent of the concession, and declared that it was entirely inadmissible. He also infinitely regretted that Morgan had, without authority, laid out a town, and spoken of it as "our city." He further informed him that a fort would be constructed there and a detachment of soldiers placed in it to receive favorably all his emigrants. Morgan replied the next day, tendering an apology for his course, but his loss of influence with the government cost him his prestige among the colonists, who began to murmur against his authority. Finally they sent an agent, John Ward, to present a complaint to Gov. Miro. Morgan, thus stripped of his concession and influence, soon after returned to the United States. Several of the colonists also returned to their former homes.

Of the emigrants who came out with Col. Morgan, the greater number was from Maryland and Pennsylvania. The names of but few could be ascertained. There were David Gray, Alexander Sampson, Joseph Story, Richard Jones Waters, John Hemphill, Elisha Winsor, Andrew Wilson, Samuel Dorsey, Benjamin Harrison, Jacob Meyers, Benjamin Meyers, William Chambers, Elisha Jackson, Ephraim Conner, John Hart, James Dunn, Lawrence Harrison, William Harrison, John Gregg, Nicholas Gerry, James Gerry, John Morris, John Becket, John Summers, Louis and Joseph Vandenbenden, Joseph McCourtney, John Pickett and David Shelby.

Of the earliest French settlers, the Lesieurs, Francois and Joseph, were not only the first, but also among the most influential, and their descendants are now numbered by the hundreds. They were sons of Charles Lesieur, who came from South France early in the last century and located at Three Rivers, Canada. Around 1785 they came to St. Louis and found employment with Gabriel Cerre, a fur trader, who sent them out to establish a trading post, as before related. Joseph had married before leaving Canada and became the father of two sons, both of whom died young. He himself died in April 1796. Francois married Cecile Guilbeaut on May 13, 1791; she was a native of Vincennes, and a daughter of Charles Gailbeaut and Cecile Thiriat. In 1794 they removed to Little Prairie where they resided until the New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-1812, when they returned to what is now New Madrid County and located at the old Point Pleasant, about a mile above the present village of that name. There, Francois Lesieur died in 1826 after having been three times married. By his first marriage he had seven children: Francois, Jr., who married a Miss Le Grand and reared a large family; Collestique, who became the wife of Noah Gambol; Margurite, who married Hypolite Thiriat (now Teror); Godfrey, who, in 1818, married Mary E. Loignon and reared a family of 11 children; Matilda, who became Mrs. W.B. Nicholas; Christine, who married George G Alford, and an infant. His second wife was a Miss Bono, who bore him one son, Napoleon. In 1820 he married the widow of Charles Loignon of Little Prairie. Raphael Lesieur, a nephew of Francois and Joseph Lesieur, came to New Madrid in 1798 and lived to be 72 years old. He married Frances Guilbeault and had a large family.

The majority of the French settlers was entirely uneducated, could neither read nor write, and possessed but little property. Among them were Joseph Hunot and his sons Gabriel and Joseph, and Joseph and Etienne St. Marie, all from Vincennes. By far the larger number of the French pioneers were originally from Canada but had resided at some of the neighboring posts—Vincennes, Kaskaskia and Ste. Genevieve. A few, however, were natives of France, and these were usually the best educated. To this number belonged Pierre Antoine Laforge, who came to New Madrid in 1794. He was a member of an aristocratic family and had been educated for the priesthood, but having fallen in love with his cousin, Margaret Gabrielle Colombe Champagne, had married her. He lived in Paris until driven out by the French Revolution when, taking his wife and family, with the exception of the youngest child, he sought refuge in America.

He located at Gallipolis, Ohio, where his family remained for several years. In 1794 he came to New Madrid, where he was appointed interpreter and public writer and was held in high esteem by the authorities of Upper Louisiana. He was recommended to Capt. Stoddard by De Lassus in 1803 as “a very zealous officer, performing the duties of adjutant of militia. He is also a justice of the peace and notary public. He performs these various offices with correctness and precision. I can do no less than recommend him as a man very active, earnest and useful for the public service; but he does not write English.”

He was appointed commandant of the post by Stoddard and served until the organization of courts. He subsequently held office of judge of the court of common pleas. When the earthquake of December 1811 occurred, he was sick of a fever and died from exposure, having been removed from the house to a tent. He was the father of 11 children, only three of whom married. They were Adele, Gabrielle and Peter A. The last named was a farmer and married Harriet, daughter of Charles Loignon. He, also, had a family of 11, of whom eight married. They were Margaret C., who first married Justice Morgan and after his death, John W. Butler; Alfred, who married Laura, daughter of Dr. Robert D. Dawson; Eliza, who became the wife of William S. Mosely; Alphonse, who married Fanny Hatcher; Agatha, who married Thomas Dawson; Prudence, who married Benjamin Stewart; Virginia, now the widow of William O'Bannon, and Mary, the widow of Dr. Drake McDowell.

Robert McKay (or McCoy) came to New Madrid as early as 1791, and for a long time was in command of a Spanish galley. After the change in the government he remained in the town and continued to reside there until his death in 1840.

Among these American colonists, Richard Jones Waters was the most prominent and influential. He was a native of Maryland and was the son of William Waters and Rachel Jones. He received a medical education, but seems to have never practiced his profession. He was engaged in a mercantile business at Louisville, Kentucky when Morgan set out for Upper Louisiana and he joined the expedition at that place. He was then 29 years of age and unmarried. He resumed business at New Madrid and began to accumulate property rapidly. He carried a large stock of such goods as were in demand at that time and purchased the greater portion of the produce shipped from New Madrid. He also owned the first water-mill in the district which was situated on Bayou St. John. In addition to all this, he dealt very extensively in land and land grants and was in involved in endless litigation. By reference to the archives of the post, it is found that he was a party to more than one-half of the civil suits before the commandant. But he was a successful business man, and at the time of his death in 1807, his personal property alone was valued at over $65,000, a very large amount for that day.

On the May 31, 1800, he was married to Francoise Julie Godfrey, widow of Louis Vandenbenden and a native of Normandy. They had no children, but prior to their marriage he had adopted two sons of Mrs. Jacob Meyers, of whom he was the reputed father. He was the captain of a militia company and served at different times as commandant of the post ad interim. Col. De Lassus wrote of him to Capt. Stoddard: “He is a zealous officer of extensive knowledge, but of a somewhat extravagant disposition and very quarrelsome.” His sons were John and Richard Jones Waters. The former was an adventurous spirit, and left the country as a youth. The latter remained with his adopted mother, and at her death fell heir to all the property. He was an intelligent gentleman of the "old school" type, and from him having descended many of the best people of Southeast Missouri.

Dr. Samuel Dorsey was also a native of Maryland. Upon his establishment of the military post at New Madrid, he received the appointment of surgeon at a salary of $30 per month and continued that position until the transfer of the country to the United States. On January 17, 1795, he married Marie J Boneau, a native of Vincennes, who died in 1799. Subsequently he married a daughter of Jeremiah Thompson of the Cape Girardeau District where he removed to in 1804. After the earthquake of 1811-1812, he went to Claiborne County, Mississippi.

Joseph Story was a native of Massachusetts and a son of William Story. He was a surveyor, and it is believed was brought to the country by Morgan to assist in laying off his city. In 1794 he married, at New Madrid, Catherine, a daughter of Jacob Seek, and a native of Pennsylvania.

Andrew Wilson was a native of Scotland and had been a minister in the Presbyterian Church. He was the father of George Wilson, the first sheriff of the district.

John Summers was also a Scotchman, and was the father of Andrew and Alexander Summers, both of whom located in the Cape Girardeau District around 1797. Andrew married Elizabeth, the daughter of George Ruddell, of Little Prairie.

The Vandenbendens, Joseph and Louis, were from Pennsylvania. The latter was a merchant and a man of considerable wealth. He died around 1797-1798 and his widow married Richard J. Waters. Joseph was a large land owner, and survived his brother many years.

Jacon Meyers was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was the father of Benjamin Meyers. Joseph McCourtney was a native of Ireland and married a daughter of John Prickett, who came from Virginia. David Gray was from Massachusetts; his wife, Dinah Gray, obtained a legal separation from her husband, and for many years kept up a sort of boarding house in New Madrid. She is said to have been a woman of more than ordinary intelligence.

John Lavallee, the last commandant under the old regime, has several descendants still residing in New Madrid County. He was the father of Charles A. Lavalle and a man of intelligence and education. He was recommended by De Lassus as follows: “He is a zealous and skillful officer, recommended for a long time for captain. I appointed him commandant ad interim of New Madrid. He was recognized by the Government, and I think would have been retained but for the change. Every time I employed him he gave me great satisfaction in the manner in which he acquitted himself. He speaks and writes Spanish, French and English, and is a firm, brave and prudent man.” He remained at New Madrid until his death and served for three years as judge of the court of common pleas.

In July 1789, Gov. Miro sent Lieutenant Pierre Forcher with two sergeants, two corporals and 30 soldiers to build a fort and to take civil and military command of the post at New Madrid. Upon his arrival, Forcher laid off a town between Bayou St. John and Bayou de Cypriere and built a fort upon the bank of the river, which he named Fort Celeste, in honor of the wife of Gov. Miro. Lieutenant Forcher was a man of energy and administrative ability, and soon established order and prosperity in the community. He was recalled, however, in about 18 months, and was succeeded by Thomas Portell.

A series of over one thousand earthquakes struck in the area in 1811 and 1812. The New Madrid Earthquake was the strongest non-subduction zone earthquake in the United States, and may have registered 9.0 on the moment magnitude scale.

Crime section
This section was recently deleted in toto, which I reverted, feeling it was better to add refs wherever possible and failing that, to excise unsourced portions. The section as it stands is far from perfect, but seems to be headed in the right direction. Hushpuckena (talk) 16:33, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm concerned about the opening statement, "Nodaway County was on the frontier in its earliest days and has a long history of violence." It's a truism that gather enough people in one place, & someone will be murdered; that's just an unpleasant fact of humans. Crime exists in every county of the US However, doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations, Nodaway is not by any measure murder capital of the US. This section documents 20 murders over 130 year, or roughly one each 6 years; over that period, Nodaway has an average population of about 25,000 -- some years it's been more, some less; this brings us to a murder rate of about 1 per 100,000. According to the Wikipedia article, the murder rate for the US in all is 4.7 for 2012; 1 per 100,000 is more typical of countries like the U.K. or France, which aren't notorious for being violent places to live in. Unless someone can add further evidence to support highlighting all of these murder cases in this article, it should be trimmed back to include only the most notorious cases, & the opening reworded to something more neutral. -- llywrch (talk) 19:24, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I've just restored one of these, removed as "slander". However I can't see much in favour of keeping the entire section. None are particularly notable in their own right. As it is, it's a rather arbitrary list giving the impression that Nodaway county is somehow exceptionally violent. I don't believe that it is exceptionally so, there certainly aren't sources to support that. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Raising Arizona

Raising Arizona is a 1987 American crime comedy film written, directed and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen. It stars Nicolas Cage as H.I. "Hi" McDunnough, an ex-convict, and Holly Hunter as Edwina "Ed" McDunnough, a former police officer and his wife. Other members of the cast include Trey Wilson, William Forsythe, John Goodman, Frances McDormand, Sam McMurray, and Randall "Tex" Cobb.

The Coen brothers set out to work on the film with the intention of making a film as different from their previous film, the dark thriller Blood Simple, as possible, with a lighter sense of humor and a faster pace. Raising Arizona received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Some criticized it as too self-conscious, manneristic, and unclear as to whether it was fantasy or realism. Other critics praised the film for its originality.

The film ranks 31st on the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Laughs list, and 45th on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies" list. Raising Arizona was released in the United States on March 13, 1987.

Plot
Convenience store robber Herbert ("H.I." or "Hi") McDunnough meets police officer Edwina ("Ed") when she takes his mugshot after each of several arrests in Tempe, Arizona. He eventually learns that Ed's fiancé has left her and proposes after being released from prison. They marry and move into a desert mobile home, and Hi gets a job in a machine shop. They want children, but Ed is infertile and they cannot adopt due to Hi's criminal record.

Hi and Ed learn of the quintuplet sons born to regional furniture magnate Nathan Arizona. They kidnap one of the babies, whom they believe to be Nathan Jr., intending to start a family. Soon afterward, Hi's former cellmates Gale and Evelle Snoats escape from prison and visit the couple. They persuade Hi to shelter them and tempt him to return to his former life of crime. That night, Hi has an intense nightmare of monstrous biker Leonard Smalls.

Hi's foreman Glen visits with his large and unruly family on the next day. Glen and wife Dot offer parenting advice amid their children's misbehavior, but when Glen suggests that he and Hi exchange wives, Hi punches Glen in the face. That night, Hi succumbs to the temptation to rob a convenience store while buying diapers, leading to a chase with police and a pack of dogs that he manages to outrun. As Ed and Nathan Jr. sleep, Hi decides to leave his family to join Gale and Evelle in a bank robbery.

Glen returns the next morning to fire Hi, revealing his inference that Hi and Ed kidnapped Nathan Jr. Glen threatens to turn them in unless they agree to give the baby to him and Dot. Overhearing this exchange, Gale and Evelle overpower Hi and kidnap Nathan Jr. themselves. As Hi and Ed resolve to rescue him, Smalls approaches Nathan Sr. and reveals himself as a bounty hunter. When Nathan Sr. rejects Smalls' offer to bring back Nathan Jr. for $50,000, Smalls decides to do the job anyway and threatens to sell the baby on the black market.

Gale and Evelle grow attached to Nathan Jr. The two nearly leave him behind while robbing a convenience store, then forget him again during the bank robbery. A dye pack explodes in their stolen money sack, covering them and the getaway car interior with blue dye. The distraction allows Smalls to capture the baby before Hi and Ed arrive. In the ensuing struggle, Ed grabs Nathan Jr. while Smalls severely beats Hi. Hi ultimately pulls the pin from one of the hand grenades clipped to Smalls' vest, causing all of them to explode and kill him.

Hi and Ed sneak back into the Arizona home to return Nathan Jr. but are caught by Nathan Sr. Upon learning the reason for the kidnapping, Nathan Sr. sympathizes and decides not to report them to the authorities. Learning that Hi and Ed are considering a divorce, he suggests that they take some time to think about it first.

While sleeping beside Ed that night, Hi has a series of prophetic dreams. Gale and Evelle return to prison, having realized that they are not ready for society; Glen is arrested by a Polish-American police officer who is unamused by the ethnic jokes he tells; and Nathan Jr. becomes a high school football star after receiving a football for Christmas from a couple who chose to remain anonymous (hinted to be Hi and Ed). The dream ends far in the future, with an elderly couple enjoying a holiday visit from their many children and grandchildren. Hi ponders the possible reality of his dreams and decides that he and Ed have the ability to be good and raise a loving family. "If not Arizona, then a land not too far away...I don't know. Maybe it was Utah."

Casting and conception
The Coen Brothers started working on Raising Arizona with the idea to make it as different as possible from their previous film, Blood Simple, by having it be far more optimistic and upbeat. The starting point of scriptwriting came from the idea of the character of Hi, who has the desire to live a regular life within the boundaries of the law. To create their characters' dialect, Joel and Ethan created a hybrid of local dialect and the assumed reading material of the characters, namely, magazines and the Bible. In contrast to Blood Simple, the characters in Raising Arizona were written to be very sympathetic. The Coens wrote the character Ed for Holly Hunter. The character of Leonard Smalls was created when the Coen Brothers tried to envision an "evil character" not from their imagination, but one that the character would have thought up. His name is widely thought to be a reference to the character of Lennie Small, from John Steinbeck's novella Of Mice and Men. John Goodman was drawn to characters of "great feeling, [guys] who could explode or start weeping at any moment" and became a frequent collaborator following his performance as Gale Snoats. The script took three and a half months to write.

The film was influenced by the works of director Preston Sturges and writers such as William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor (who was known for her Southern literature; "She also has a great sense of eccentric character," Ethan Coen told one interviewer). Joel and Ethan showed the completed script to Circle Films, their American distributor for Blood Simple. Circle Films agreed to finance the movie. The Coens came to the set with a complete script and storyboard. With a budget of just over five million dollars, Joel Coen noted that "to obtain maximum from that money, the movie has to be meticulously prepared".

Filming
Raising Arizona was shot in ten weeks. Many crew members who had worked with Joel and Ethan on Blood Simple returned for Raising Arizona, including cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, co-producer Mark Silverman, production designer Jane Musky, associate producer and assistant director Deborah Reinisch, and film composer Carter Burwell.

The relationship between actor Nicolas Cage and the Coens was respectful, but turbulent. When he arrived on-set, and at various other points during production, Cage offered suggestions to the Coen brothers, which they ignored. Cage said that "Joel and Ethan have a very strong vision and I've learned how difficult it is to accept another artist's vision. They have an autocratic nature." Randall "Tex" Cobb also gave the Coens difficulty on set, with Joel noting that "he's less an actor than a force of nature ... I don't know if I'd rush headlong into employing him for a future film."

Release
Raising Arizona was initially released in the US, three dates; A New York City premiere on March 6, 1987, a limited release on March 13, 1987 and a nationwide release on April 17, 1987. The film was also released in Argentina on March 25, 1987 before it was screened out of competition at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.

Despite the cult following of their later films, such as The Big Lebowski, in 2000 Ethan Coen described their second feature as "the last movie [we] made that made any significant amount of money".

Reception
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 90% based on 63 reviews, with an average rating of 7.8/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A terrifically original, eccentric screwball comedy, Raising Arizona may not be the Coens' most disciplined movie, but it's one of their most purely entertaining." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 69 based on 23 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.

David Denby of New York wrote that the film was a "deranged fable of the New West" which turned "sarcasm into a rude yet affectionate mode of comedy". Richard Corliss of Time referred to the film as "exuberantly original". Rita Kempley of The Washington Post gave a positive review, stating that it was "the best kidnapping comedy since last summer's Ruthless People". On the film review television show Siskel & Ebert & the Movies, critic Gene Siskel said the film was as "good looking as it is funny" and that "despite some slow patches" he recommended the film, giving it a "thumbs up". Writing for The New Yorker, Pauline Kael wrote that "Raising Arizona is no big deal, but it has a rambunctious charm".

Negative reviews focused on a "style over substance" view of the film. Variety wrote, "While [Raising Arizona] is filled with many splendid touches and plenty of yocks, it often doesn't hold together as a coherent story." Writing for The New York Times, Vincent Canby wrote, "Like Blood Simple, it's full of technical expertise but has no life of its own ... The direction is without decisive style." Julie Salamon of the Wall Street Journal wrote that the Coen Brothers "have a lot of imagination and sense of fun—and, most of all, a terrific sense of how to manipulate imagery," but "by the end, the fun feels a little forced." Dave Kehr of the Chicago Tribune wrote that "the overlooked form peels away from the slight, frail content, and the film starts to look like an episode of Hee Haw directed by an amphetamine-crazed Orson Welles". Roger Ebert wrote a negative review, stating the film "stretches out every moment for more than it's worth, until even the moments of inspiration seem forced. Since the basic idea of the movie is a good one and there are talented people in the cast, what we have here is a film shot down by its own forced and mannered style."

Later writings about the film have been generally positive. Both the British film magazine Empire and film database Allmovie gave the film five stars, their highest ratings. Allmovie's Lucia Bozzola wrote, "Complete with carefully modulated over-the-top performances from the entire cast, Raising Arizona confirmed the Coens' place among the most distinctive filmmakers to emerge from the 1980s independent cinema", while Caroline Westbrook of Empire declared it a "hilarious, madcap comedy from the Coen brothers that demonstrates just why they are the kings of quirk". Bilge Ebiri considers Raising Arizona to be "the Coens' masterpiece — their funniest movie, and quite possibly their most poignant as well". The Dutch magazine Vrij Nederland placed its bank robbery scene second on their list of "the 5 best bank robberies in film history", behind a bank robbery scene from the 1995 thriller Heat. Actor Simon Pegg described the film as "a living, breathing Looney Tunes cartoon" during a BFI screening. Pegg's friend and frequent collaborator Edgar Wright has stated that Raising Arizona is his favorite film of all time. Likewise, Spike Lee put Raising Arizona on his "Essential Films" list.

The film is recognized by American Film Institute:
 * 2000: AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs –

Soundtrack
The score to Raising Arizona is written by Carter Burwell, the second of his collaborations with the Coen brothers. The sounds are a mix of organ, massed choir, banjo, whistling, and yodeling.

Themes are borrowed from the "Goofing Off Suite", originally recorded by Pete Seeger in 1955, which includes an excerpt from the Chorale movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and "Russian Folk Themes and Yodel". Credited musicians for the film include Ben Freed (banjo), Mieczyslaw Litwinski (Jew's harp and guitar), and John R. Crowder (yodeling). Holly Hunter sings a traditional murder ballad, "Down in the Willow Garden", as an incongruous "lullaby" during the film.

Selections from Burwell's score to Raising Arizona were released on an album in 1987, along with selections from the Coens' sole previous feature film, Blood Simple. The tracks from Raising Arizona constitute the first ten tracks on a 17-track CD that also features selections from the Blood Simple soundtrack.

 * 1) "Introduction – A Hole in the Ground" – (0:38)
 * 2) "Way Out There (Main Title)" – (1:55)
 * 3) "He Was Horrible" – (1:30)
 * 4) "Just Business" – (1:17)
 * 5) "The Letter" – (2:27)
 * 6) "Hail Lenny" – (2:18)
 * 7) "Raising Ukeleles" – (3:41)
 * 8) "Dream of the Future" – (2:31)
 * 9) "Shopping Arizona" – (2:46)
 * 10) "Return to the Nursery" – (1:35)

AllMusic gave the album a rating of (4.5 out of 5).

Instead, this transition is covered in the above section. It reads, "In 2004, George W. Bush flipped the county from blue to red, albeit narrowly...

I came here via a photo on the Ozarks article showing a beautiful, relatively flat, rolling hills meadows landscape -- it was a disappointment not to find any description nor pictures with views of the countryside. Also, the history section mentions river banks - pictures (and name(s), if I haven't) overlooked them, of the river(s) also would be expected, I'd say? The meadowy, not so mountainous landscape in that Ozarks Wikipedia article looks like the county geography might (still) very much also (apart from making hay) lend itself to arable farming -- Is that so? If yes, what crops are grown ( -apart from the grapes- -or can it realistically be a total monoculture allover?)? What are the soil types, etc.?

Excuse me, but why was my entry deleted from Yesterday? If the Pulaski County Web (which in my opinion is not that great), can be listed under the media section then why can't The Pulaski County Forum? Dosen't seem right that someone is using Wikipedia for their own personal gain. I can tell you right now, that you may delete it everyday, but everyday I will be here, posting it right back where it belongs.

RESPONSE FROM MilitaryFan: I deleted the Pulaski County Forum reference because the webpage no longer exists. www.pulaskicountyforum.com is a dead page. Here's the wikinote: "20:06, 12 November 2010 MilitaryFan (talk | contribs) (19,997 bytes) (→Media: Restored deleted reference to Pulaski County Web.

W Ursae Majoris

W Ursae Majoris (W UMa) is the variable star designation for a binary star system in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. It has an apparent visual magnitude of about 7.9, which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. However, it can be viewed with a small telescope. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of roughly 169 light years (52 parsecs) from Earth.

In 1903, the luminosity of this system was found to vary by the German astronomers Gustav Müller and Paul Kempf. It has since become the prototype and eponym for a class of variable stars called W Ursae Majoris variables. This system consists of a pair of stars in a tight, circular orbit with a period of 0.3336 days, or eight hours and 26 seconds. During every orbital cycle, each star eclipses the other, resulting in a decrease in magnitude. The maximum magnitude of the pair is 7.75 mag. During the eclipse of the primary, the net magnitude drops by 0.73 mag, while the eclipse of the secondary causes a magnitude decrease of 0.68 mag.

The two stars in W Ursae Majoris are so close together that their outer envelopes are in direct contact, making them a contact binary system. As a result, they have the same stellar classification of F8Vp, which matches the spectrum of a main-sequence star that is generating energy through the nuclear fusion of hydrogen. However, the primary component has a larger mass and radius than the secondary, with 1.14 times the Sun's mass and 1.09 times the Sun's radius. The secondary has 0.55 solar masses and 0.79 solar radii.

The orbital period of the system has changed since 1903, which may be the result of mass transfer or the braking effects of magnetic fields. Star spots have been observed on the surface of the stars and strong X-ray emissions have been detected, indicating a high level of magnetic activity that is common to W UMa variables. This magnetic activity may play a role in regulating the timing and magnitude of mass transfer occurs.

W Ursae Majoris has a 12th magnitude companion star with the designation ADS 7494B, not to be confused with W UMa B, the secondary of the close eclipsing pair. They may be moving together through space.

Question on Notables
I question Sam Waltons inclusion in the Notable residents category. His bio mentions no connection to Shelby County. Also the young girl, Elizbeth Platz. Is her spelling bee event notable enough to warrant inclusion? What do you think?? Sector001 (talk) 20:49, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

 * As to the first, it does mention that he resided in Shelbina; as to the second, I have a bit of a COI there; do whatever you think fit. Lexicografía (talk) 16:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
