One flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975/Creedmore

Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens Village, Queens, New York, provides inpatient, outpatient and residential services for severely mentally ill patients. The history of the hospital and its campus, which occupies more than 300 acres and includes more than 50 buildings, reflects both the urbanization of the borough of Queens, New York, and a series of changes in psychiatric care.

The hospital’s name derives from the Creeds, a family that previously farmed the site. The local railroad station on a line that ran from Long Island City to Bethpage took the name Creedmoor, apparently from the phrase “Creed’s Moor,” describing the local geography. In the early 1870s, New York State purchased land from the Creeds for use by the National Guard and by the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a firing range. The Creedmoor rifle range hosted prestigious international shooting competitions, which became the forerunner of the Palma Trophy competition. In 1892, as a result of declining public interest and mounting noise complaints from the growing neighborhood, the NRA deeded its land back to the state

In 1912, the Farm Colony of Brooklyn State Hospital was opened, with 32 patients, at Creedmoor by the Lunacy Commission of New York State, reflecting a trend towards sending the swelling population of urban psychiatric patients to the fresh air of outlying areas. By 1918, Creedmoor’s own census had swollen to 150, housed in the abandoned National Guard barracks. By 1959, the hospital housed 7,000 inpatients [5]. Creedmoor is described as an overcrowded, understaffed, depressing institution in Susan Sheehan's Is There No Place On Earth For Me? (1982), a biography of a patient pseudonymously called Sylvia Frumkin.

The hospital's census had declined by the early sixties, however, as the introduction of new medications, along with other factors, led to the deinstitutionalization of many psychiatric patients around the world. In 1975, the land in Glen Oaks formerly used to raise food for the hospital was opened to the public as the Queens County Farm Museum. Another part of the campus in Glen Oaks was developed into the Queens Children's Psychiatric Center. In 2004, the remaining part of Creedmore land in Glen Oaks was developed into the Glen Oaks public school campus, including The Queens High School of Teaching. By 2006, other parts of the Creedmoor campus had been sold and the inpatient census was down to 470. There are several disused buildings on the property.

The hospital’s notable ventures include The Living Museum, which showcases artistic works by patients and is the first museum of its kind in the U.S.

Bill Buckner's career has alway been marked by one play in the history of the World Series. In Game 6 of the 1986 series, Buckner, hampered by leg problems, was unable to stop a Mookie Wilson groundball. The play allowed the winning run to cross the plate.

However, Buckner had a long career and earned a reputation as a workhorse.

Despite the made an impression at an early age. He was drafted into the Dodgers organization straight out of high school. His first manager in professional baseball was Tommy Lasorda.

Lasorda would later become the Dodgers' manager, but even as a minor league manager, he had a way with players. Buckner says Lasorda had his young players feeling they would be ready for the majors any day. One of Lasorda's exercises was to have his players write letters to the Los Angeles starters to let them know they were coming. Buckner wrote his letter to the Dodgers' first baseman Wes Parker.

"I wrote a letter to Wes Parker and told him I was going to take his job," Buckner said. He said Parker later gave him a hard time about writing the letter.

Buckner made it to the Dodgers in 1969 at the age of 19 and was hitless in his one at-bat. His first regular action in the majors came in 1971. He split time in the outfield and at first base, hitting .271 with 5 HR and 41RBI. For most of his career with the Dodgers, he played more as an outfield.

In a five-player deal in 1977, Bill Buckner and Ivan DeJesus went to the Chicago Cubs for Rick Monday. The move also saw Buckner shift to spending the majority of his time at first base. In his first season with the Cubs in Buckner won the National League batting title in 1980 when he hit .324. He also led the league in doubles twice -- 1981 and 1983.

Buckner made his only appearance in an All-Star game during the 1981 series. The Cubs decided they wanted Leon Durham playing first in 1984 and sent Buckner to the bench. On May 25, the Cubs sent Buckner to the Red Sox for pitchers Dennis Eckersly and Mike Brumley. Buckner immediately became the starting first baseman for the Red Sox.

In 1985, Buckner tied a Major League record by playing in 162 games at first base. He also broke the Major League record for assists when he tallied 184. Buckner had tied the record in 1983. He also drove in 110 runs that season.

The year that will always be a part of Buckner's legacy came in 1986. He drove in 102 runs and added 18 home runs to help the Red Sox get to the playoffs.

In the AL Championship series, the Red Sox came back from a 5-2 deficit and two outs in the ninth inning to beat the Angels in the deciding game. Dave Henderson's two-run homer capped the comeback.

"I remember running out on the field and lifting him up at home plate," Buckner recalls.

The Red Sox moved on to face the Mets in the World Series. Buckner's had been hobbled by leg injuries entering the series. Five games into the series, the Red Sox held a 3-2 advantage and were on the verge of a World Championship.

Then came Game 6. The Red Sox and Mets were tied after nine at 3-3 and the game went in to extra innings. Red Sox starter Roger Clemens had allowed just 2 runs over 7 innings. However, he developed a blister on his finger and he was replaced by reliever Calvin Schiraldi. Schiraldi allowed a run in the eighth inning to allow the Mets to tie the game.

The Red Sox went up 5-3 in the top of the 10th off a home run by Dave Henderson and an additional run. In the bottom of the 10th, Schiraldi gave up singles to Gary Carter, Kevin Mitchell and Ray Knight. Carter scored to bring the game to 5-4. Schiraldi was replaced with Bob Stanley. Stanley threw a wild pitch, allowing the tying run to score.

Mookie Wilson then hit a rolling single down the first base line that went underneath the glove and through the legs of Buckner. It allowed the Mets to score the winning run.

"I thought, what is going on," Buckner recalls. "I turned around to go after the ball and I realized the game was over."

The Mets went on to win Game 7 and the series and Buckner became a part of the lore of the game.

Buckner was traded to California midway through the next season. In 1988, the Angels traded Buckner to the Royals. Buckner returned to Boston in 1990 and was greeted by a standing ovation in his first home game.

He retired from baseball that season. He worked as a coach for a couple of years, but says he grew tired of the constant questions from the press about the 1986 Series.

After leaving the game, Buckner and his family moved to Idaho where Buckner is involved in a number of businesses. He has developed malls and housing developments in Idaho including one called Fenway Park.

History of Log Cabins in Europe

Many countries such as Russia, Europe, and the Scandinavian countries used logs for construction in the 1660’s. Some homes were one room houses with few windows called the log cabin. In Europe the development of bronze and iron led to metal tools. Metal tools made it easier for people to work with wood. This led to log cabins. Most of these log cabins were constructed in the forested areas of Europe because of the wood that they had to work with there. Anyway the log cabin was a very important invention and I’m sure many other people think so too.

History of Log Cabins in America

The log cabin was introduced to America in the 1770’s by Swedish and Finland Immigrants. These Immigrants brought their skills of building log cabins to Delaware but it soon spread all across America. Log cabins became very popular in the 1880’s. In fact Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson gained popular advantage just because they were born in a log cabin. Also presidential candidate William Henry Harrison used the log cabin as a campaign symbol. The log cabin was extremely important. Just think of how many people in America used log cabins for something. Weather it was someone's home or someone's church everyone had a use for them.

What it Means

The log cabin became a symbol of pioneer life. It was a symbol of the hardships and virtues a pioneer had to face. They represented self-reliance, independence, practicality, and ingenuity. Many presidents used the log cabin as a campaighn symbol. Log cabins were much more popular during the 1880’s than they are now. So most of the objects the cabin stood for were from the 1880’s.
