Originally Reynolds Memorial Institute, this is now the Reynolds Community Centre.
This building was financed by a bequest of Frank Reynolds, a well known local businessman who ran a bicycle repair business in the village and then making a fortune by patenting a method manufacturing cheese-cutting wires. He realised that the weak point of all cheese wires up until then was that they could not easily be replaced when they broke, but by simply fitting a bicycle spoke nipple to each end of the wire, a handle could be slipped over the wire and held in place by the nipple.

Community service was the focus of this fun run that collected new or lightly-worn clothing for the Amherst Survival Center. Participants donated articles of clothing and then ran or walked a mile-long course in their boxers, swimsuits, t-shirts, shorts or similar attire. The fun run is intended to demonstrate the challenges faced by over 16,000+ homeless people across the state who don’t have enough warm clothing as the cooler temperatures approach.
CAMP ZAMA, Japan - Hundreds of Soldiers, Airmen, civilians and their families from the Camp Zama community kicked off Army Birthday Week with sports, games and tournaments designed to build camaraderie and esprit de corps throughout U.S. Army Japan Command. For five days dozens of units from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force will compete in various challenges to test their cumulative strength, speed, endurance and dexterity. From team sports, golf scrambles and swim relays to bowling tournaments, relay races and free throw competitions, the Army Birthday Week events offer a variety of team competitions and individual contests that maximize appeal across the entire sports spectrum.
The “Not in My Squad” challenge offered the most unique competition appearing in this week’s lineup. Nine representatives from Camp Zama’s Army and Air Force units endured a series of physically draining events spread along a three-mile route. The teams worked together to carry five-gallon cans of water to each event where they performed various exercises comprising hundreds of pushups, situps, pullups, tire flips and kettle bell curls. The challenge concluded with a role-play scenario that tested the teams’ cumulative knowledge about how to handle a sexual harassment incident.
A unit that wins first place in a specific event earns five points, while second and third place finishes earn three and two points respectively. Every unit that participates in an event earns one point.
As of June 15, 2016, U.S. Army Aviation Battalion maintains the lead with 35 points. The 441st Military Intelligence Battalion holds second place with 29 points and Medical Department Activity-Japan pulled into third place with 27 points. U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) remains in fourth place with 23 points. Since Monday USARJ has earned third place in the soccer tournament, second place in the "Not in My Squad" challenge, and first place in the swim relay.
On Friday, June 17, all teams will convene at the Camp Zama High School sports complex to compete to foot races and cheer on their comrades in the annual tug-of-war bout and soccer match between the JGSDF’s Central Readiness Force U.S. service members stationed Camp Zama.

What used to be a thriving community garden, with cafe, theatre, seats all around, surrounded by good graffiti. Turned into a complete wasteland. It looks slightly different now, but still fenced off from public use.

Some members of the Movement to End Maternal Deaths during the press conference at NGO Forum.
The Movement to End Maternal Deaths demands urgent action by govt to save mothers and newborns during pregnancy and childbirth.
On May 15, White Ribbon Alliance and partners under the The Movement to End Maternal Deaths in Uganda held a press conference and later marched to International Hospital Kampala (IHK), demanding urgent intervention by government to end the needless deaths of mothers and newborns during pregnancy, childbirth and the immediate period after birth.
This follows the continued deaths of mothers at various health facilities across the country and most recently, the death of a women’s rights advocate, Ms Nuliat Nambaziira at International Hospital Kampala on May 4th, 2018, from complications after delivery.
Sheila Kawamara, the Executive Director EAASI, where Nuliat worked said they are taking legal action to ensure justice for Nuliat. After the press conference, members marched to IHK to show their displeasure.
The Movement to End Maternal Deaths calls upon the government of Uganda to:
(1) Conduct maternal death audits and publish reports of all health facilities, including public and privately-run institutions to ensure that they have adequate facilities and personnel to handle pregnant women, mothers and babies at birth;
(2) Discipline negligent health workers by withdrawing practicing certificates from incompetent health practitioners that have caused deaths or maimed mothers out of negligence;
(3) Increase resourcing for maternal health and post midwives and doctors to rural hospitals to improve service delivery.
(4) Increase monitoring and inspection of private and government health facilities to address the critical issues affecting women for instance lack of essential materials.
