Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.

History

The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.

The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.

The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.

Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.

In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.

Zoological collection

Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.

The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.

Tiger Trail

Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.

The Equatorial Trail

This exhibit focuses on animals who thrive in habitats around the Earth's Equator. The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.

African Elephant

Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.

Southern White Rhinoceros

Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years. Nomvula is Meru's 6th calf and was born on 2 January 2016.

Railway and other attractions

The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.

A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.

Animal care

In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.

CROATIAN CENTER of RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES (CCRES)• was founded in 1988 as the non-profit European Association for Renewable Energy that conducts its work independently of political parties, institutions, commercial enterprises and interest groups, • is dedicated to the cause of completely substituting for nuclear and fossil energy through renewable energy, • regards solar energy supply as essential to preserve the natural resources and a prerequisite for a sustainable economy,• acts to change conventional political priorities and common infrastructures in favor of renewable energy, from the local to the international level, • brings together expertise from the fields of politics, economy, science, and culture to promote the entry of solar energy, • provides the opportunity to play a part in the sociocultural movement for renewable energy by joining the association for everyone, • considers full renewable energy supply a momentous and visionary goal - the challenge of the century to humanity.

In Argentina, like in many parts of the world, water is at risk of over-exploitation and contamination. To protect it, scientists are studying its most invisible details with the help of nuclear technology.

Scientists can determine the quantity and quality of water supplies. How? They use naturally occurring isotopes as tracers and study water's isotopic composition to find out where groundwater comes from, how it travels, if it is recent or old, its recharge rate and whether it is polluted.

The science behind this is called isotope hydrology and the IAEA supports countries through training, equipment and technical expertise.

Ugo Mulas was one of the greatest italian photographers. This script is taken from Verifications from the website of his fundation

www.ugomulas.org/

"In 1970 I began taking photographs whose subject matter was photography itself, a sort of analysis of the operations of photography aimed at identifying its basic elements and their intrinsic significance. For instance, what is a sensitive surface? Why using a telephoto or wide-angle lens? Why do you choose a certain format? Why making enlargements? What relation exists between a photograph and its caption? And so on. All fundamental subjects of every photography manual but seen from the opposite side, that is by a seasoned professional with twenty years of experience, while manuals are usually addressed to and read by beginners.

All information correct and sourced from the Knowsley Safari Guide Book 2018 and edited by an editor who loves animals.

Railway and other attractions

The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.

A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.

Animal care

In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.

STAFF - PLASTER OF PARIS

Invented in 1850 by Frenchman Mézier ((staff)) is composed of moulding plaster and Sisal fiber.

Staff permits the user to create the structure and decoration of interior or exterior at the same time.

Pre-fabricated elements meld elegance and versatility – for a variety of architectural applications.

Fire-proof, staff also offers exellent, spond and heat insulation.

Staff is ideal for a wide range of architectural styles, and provides a perfect surface for all kinds of paints, varnishes and stains.

Dress the entire house in staff – each room offers a new apportunity to explore the range of mural motifs, arch - and door-dressing, ceiling and skirting decoration, along with our columns, balustrades, pilaster ( demi-columns), mouldings, built in furniture and light fittings.

THE PLASTER: THE ART MATERIAL MILLENNIUM

Some civilizations have worked plaster for its practical and decorative. Many discoveries has confirmed its usefulness in particular:

- South of Lake Tiberias in Israel, where the floors are coated with plaster since 7000 years before Christ - At the Sumerians and Assyrians

- In Egypt, where blocks of 16 tons are sealed and assembled on the famous pyramid of Cheops high to 2800 BC

- At the Romans who used them to their homes and to achieve casts on nature

- In Gaul after the Roman invasion, where the plaster has been used to replace the huts into homes stronger

- In Merovingian who made an art funeral to VI and VII centuries with more than 2000 sarcophagi found in the Paris Basin.

The four Calder Hall cooling towers, located at the world’s first industrial-scale nuclear power plant, are 88 metres tall and will generate more than 20,000 tonnes of debris. It will take 192 kilograms of explosives and shrewd demolition engineering to make this Blowdown a success. Mark Loizeaux and his team hustle to load the towers, major symbols of the United Kingdom’s industrial heritage.

The first reactor at the Calder Hall plant was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. The plant's four 50 MWe Magnox reactors not only generated electricity, they also produced weapons-grade plutonium. The generators produced for 47 years before ceasing operations in March 2003.

Fort Buchanan, PR- Retirees, civilians, Family members and Soldiers were pleasantly surprised to see a very familiar figure greeting them at the Fort Buchanan gates during the week of July 15th, 2013: Soldiers from the 215th Military Police Company.

The Soldiers provided their expertise while supporting to the installation’s Police Services Department during the unit’s annual training.

“It is time to perform sustainable training outside the classroom. Let’s work with the finest police officers from Fort Buchanan” said SFC Victor Labrador, 215th MP, US Army Reserve Puerto Rico, Operations Noncommissioned officer.

During the first five days of the mission, the US Army Reserve-Puerto Rico Soldiers conducted operations in two separate shifts, showcasing their professional skills and polishing their military police training in various capacities from installation access security at the gates, patrolling, traffic laws enforcement, and police dispatch operations, to even Criminal Investigations support with the Directorate of Emergency Services.

“It had been a long time since I last remember being greeted at the gate by a Soldier in uniform. It actually made me smile. I love seeing Soldiers performing the duties that they were brought into the Army to do, and the sense of professionalism, military bearing, and friendliness that these particular soldiers demonstrated were outstanding,” said an unidentified motorist at the entrance gate.

During the second week of the annual training the Soldiers were invited to participate in a certification program conducted by the Puerto Rico State Police Transit Department, where 26 Army Reserve- Puerto Rico troops became legally certified by the State Police Department to install, calibrate, and operate various speed measurement devices “radar systems” currently used inside and outside post to detect vehicles moving at a high rate of speed.

“This training is essential and helps to ensure the readiness of our MPs (military police) when conducting Law & Order missions on post, which operates under the Traffic and Vehicle Laws of Puerto Rico (Law 22),” said Lt. Col. Juan Rodriguez, Law & Order Officer in Charge.

The Soldiers of the 215th Military police Company participated in extensive classroom sessions, hands-on practical exercises with the equipment in a controlled environment, and got to put their knowledge to the test out in the field where they not only had to use the radar equipment to efficiently determine vehicles speeds, but also got to practice real traffic stops.

None of this training would have been possible if it had not been for the initiative of Cpl. Angel Sanchez, a member of the unit.

“He had the idea for the training, brought it forward to his leadership and together we were able to make it happen. The Commander of the unit is very supportive of his Soldiers ideas, and allows them to voice their opinions and really takes everything into consideration when designing the training plan,” said Detachment Sergeant Sgt. 1st Class Paul Morgera.

However the 215th Military Police Company’s Annual Training was not all about hard work and sharpening military police skills.

The troops also took some time to give back to the community. On the final day of the annual training, the Soldiers visited our wounded veterans at the San Juan VA Hospital. There the Soldiers from the largest federal US Army command in the Caribbean, shared some quality time with the patients, listened to their stories, played games with them, and even did some arts and crafts together.

“Some of these wounded veterans don’t have families or anybody to come visit them. They have done a great service to their country and to Puerto Rico, the least we can do is spend some time with them” said the unit Commander, Cpt. Francisco Vargas.

This annual training is the first collective training event conducted by many of the 215th Military Police troops who returned from Afghanistan in 2012.

September 27, 2015

Below is the text of the Fact Sheet issued by the Co-Chairs (Turkey and the United States) of the Global Counterterrorism Forum on September 27, 2015.

The Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) continues to provide an effective, action-oriented platform for mobilizing expertise and resources to identify and address critical civilian counterterrorism (CT) needs. Over the past four years, the GCTF has developed a series of good practices documents on a range of CT issues and has mobilized resources to support national and regional efforts to address the Forum’s strategic priorities: countering violent extremism (CVE) and strengthening civilian institutions that deal with terrorism. The GCTF also contributes to the implementation of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The Forum’s framework documents, which were drafted to be globally applicable by any interested state, are now helping to drive the global civilian CT capacity-building agenda. In addition, the GCTF has served as a useful platform for developing practical initiatives to address topical, but sensitive CT issues. Perhaps most significant, the GCTF has inspired the creation of three independent institutions that are helping to strengthen the international CT and CVE architecture:

(1) Hedayah (Abu Dhabi), the first-ever international center of excellence on CVE;

(2) the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law (Valletta), a center for training justice sector officials on how to prevent and respond to terrorism and related transnational criminal activity while respecting human rights; and

(3) the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (Geneva), a public-private global fund that will provide grants to community-based organizations working to counter violent extremism at the local level.

Re-emphasizing the Forum’s commitment to an action-oriented, rule of law-based approach to addressing the threats posed by terrorism and violent extremism, the September 2015 Ministerial Plenary will include a number of concrete and practical deliverables.

I. Launch of a Cross-Working Group Initiative to Address the Full Life Cycle of Radicalization to Violence

The United States and Turkey will announce the launch of a new cross-working group initiative to expand on existing GCTF good practices and develop additional tools needed to address the full life cycle of radicalization to violence. The effort is designed not only to equip members to deal with emerging threats, but also to reinforce some of the key elements of the White House CVE Summit Process, with the GCTF taking on relevant pieces of the CVE Summit agenda. In launching this initiative, the GCTF working groups will incorporate a number of GCTF activities, including efforts related to juvenile justice, prison de-radicalization and reintegration, and “whole of society” approaches to CVE, taking advantage, as appropriate, of the new networks (i.e., research, civil society, and cities) being launched as part of the CVE Summit process. The six working groups will also build on UNSCR 2178, other relevant UNSCRs, and existing GCTF good practices (e.g., the Rabat, Ankara, Rome, and The Hague-Marrakech memoranda). Together, these elements will ensure development of an up-to-date and comprehensive set of complementary tools and practices for addressing the full life cycle of radicalization to violence, including both home-grown violent extremists and potential and returning foreign terrorist fighters (FTF).

II. Announcement of the Establishment of a GCTF-Sponsored International Counterterrorism and Countering Violent Extremism Capacity-Building Clearinghouse Mechanism

Consistent with the GCTF’s founding vision to include a civilian-focused capacity-building coordination and clearinghouse role for the Forum, the United States and Turkey will announce the launch of a two-year pilot program for a GCTF-sponsored International Counterterrorism and Countering Violent Extremism Capacity-Building Clearinghouse Mechanism (ICCM). The ICCM will develop and manage an up-to-date database of recent and ongoing counterterrorism and CVE capacity-building assistance, identify gaps in programming, de-conflict overlapping programs, and mobilize and coordinate donor resources by making non-binding recommendations for specific donors and/or implementers. The ICCM’s overarching objective will be to enhance global efforts to support the implementation of GCTF good practices, the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, and the wider UN CT and CVE framework. In particular, the ICCM will seek to address capacity gaps related to the implementation of relevant UNSCRs, primarily 1373 and 2178, as well as the UN’s FTF Capacity Building Implementation Plan, currently in development by the UN’s Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF). It will also address capacity gaps relevant to the White House CVE Summit Action Agenda. Given that the World Bank and other major non-GCTF donors are increasingly active in this space, the ICCM will attempt to map the work of such organizations in order to provide as comprehensive a picture as possible. The ICCM will initially focus on three high-priority pilot countries that face a current terrorist threat, have significant donor engagement on CT and CVE, and are willing and able to serve in this capacity.

III. Adoption of GCTF Framework Documents

The Addendum to the Algiers Memorandum on the Effective Implementation of Certain Good Practices Aimed at Preventing Kidnappings by Terrorists elaborates specific recommendations to assist interested States with the effective implementation of the Algiers Memorandum on Good Practices on Preventing and Denying the Benefits of Kidnapping for Ransom by Terrorists, in particular, those good practices that are relevant to the prevention of kidnapping for ransom (KFR). In addition to fostering increasingly effective government action to prevent KFR, GCTF members concluded that recommendations designed to further the efforts of companies, non-governmental organizations, and individuals to help prevent KFR are also necessary. Accordingly, the Addendum also includes recommendations that can inform and support government outreach programs under Algiers Memorandum Good Practices 14 and 15.

The Good Practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism, developed in partnership with the OSCE, elaborates a set of non-binding good practices addressing: (1) general good practices on women and gender in a CVE context; (2) countering women and girls’ involvement in violent extremism and terrorism; (3) advancing women and girls’ roles in CVE; and (4) women and girls as victims of violent extremism and terrorism. The Good Practices complement the GCTF’s Ankara Memorandum on Good Practices for a Multi-Sectoral Approach to Countering Violent Extremism, the Good Practices on Community Engagement and Community-Oriented Policing as Tools to Counter Violent Extremism, and the Abu Dhabi Memorandum on Good Practices for Education and Countering Violent Extremism.

IV. Announcement of an Initiative on Juvenile Justice

Switzerland, in collaboration with the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law (IIJ), will announce the launch of an initiative on juvenile justice in a counterterrorism context under the auspices of the Criminal Justice Sector and Rule of Law (CJ-ROL) Working Group. Some of the issues to be considered include: (1) interaction between counterterrorism law, human rights law, and international humanitarian law, with regard to children and juveniles as offenders in terrorism-related acts; (2) the role of juvenile justice in CVE; (3) detention, alternative measures to deprivation of liberty, diversion, rehabilitation, and reintegration (restorative justice); and (4) counterterrorism proceedings, including the application of military justice systems, and juvenile justice.

V. Announcement of Joint Initiative with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on the Role of Religious Education in Fostering Peace and Countering Violence

Building on the Abu Dhabi Memorandum on Good Practices for Education and Countering Violent Extremism, the United States will announce that the GCTF, under the auspices of the CVE Working Group, is partnering with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) on an initiative on the role of religious education institutions in promoting peace and preventing violent extremism. The first workshop in the initiative will focus on the variety of types of religious instruction and institutions, the different types of pedagogies utilized, and areas in which these institutions can enhance educational cultures to counter violent extremism, in light of CVE trends and good practices.

VI. Other GCTF Documents

The Abu Dhabi Plan of Action for Education and Countering Violent Extremism serves as a practical tool for implementing the Abu Dhabi Memorandum for Good Practices on Education and Countering Violent Extremism, adopted by the GCTF in September 2014. The Plan of Action describes programming and policy that is currently being led, or could be led or sponsored, by GCTF members and other relevant stakeholders. These examples of existing programs are intended to serve as a model for future program development.

The Catalogue of FTF-related Countering Violent Extremism and Returnee Programs is designed as a living document of FTF-related CVE and returnee programs that can serve as a resource for interested States for implementation of Sections A, B, and D of The Hague-Marrakech Memorandum on Good Practices for a More Effective Response to the FTF Phenomenon, focusing on detecting and intervening against violent extremism, recruitment and facilitation, and return. Upon completion of the initial document, the GCTF will partner with Hedayah to manage the catalogue, update it as appropriate, and facilitate engagement by interested States.

Unique heritage jets expertise to be made available to private owners.

The last flying Vulcan has moved into Hangar 3 at Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, the historic site of former RAF Finningley. For the first time, this much-loved aircraft will have a dedicated home, open to the public and available for private and commercial events. Plans are also being laid down for a facility for skills development, using the inspirational nature of the Vulcan to provide training and team building for engineering companies. In the longer term, a world leading centre of expertise for the restoration and operation of heritage jet aircraft will also be developed.

“This is one of the biggest steps for Vulcan XH558 since her return to flight in 2007. It brings a new era of opportunities that will help to fund her future and provide new levels of access for her supporters,” said Vulcan to the Sky Trust CEO, Dr Robert Pleming. “These are early days in deciding exactly what facilities will be included. Developing the funding and detailed plans needed to turn our ideas into reality will take some time, but I am thrilled to be able to share our vision at this stage.”

Hangar 3 is one of the airport’s crescent of Type C hangars built in 1935 and adapted from 1955-57 to take the RAF’s new V-Bombers. All three V-Force types were based at the airfield – Valiant, Victor and Vulcan – including XH558 from 1960 to 1968. During this period, Vulcans stood on Quick Reaction Alert, ready to take off in just a couple of minutes in response to the detection of a potential nuclear attack, carrying Britain’s nuclear deterrent deep into enemy territory. The original architecture, bomb-stores and even the aircraft holding pans are all well preserved, making this the ideal location for the new visitor centre and a uniquely evocative location for education and events.

Because the Vulcan has been based at military airfields for the last two years, providing public access has been challenging. The top priority for her new home is therefore to provide visitor facilities. Initially, this will be by pre-booked tours, including visits by local schools through the educational outreach programme. The facility will be progressively developed to provide a visitor centre with a retail store and educational displays covering XH558’s technology and restoration, and an insight into the Cold War; “A critical but increasingly overlooked period in World History, with many lessons relevant to today,” according to Dr. Pleming. These facilities will continue to expand to eventually create an important new visitor attraction for Yorkshire, which is already independently recognised as one of Europe’s most successful tourist destinations.

The fabulous Hangar 3 location will also provide an outstanding new events and hospitality venue, professionally-managed by Directions Community Interest Company, which facilitates all activities associated with Hangar 3 and Hangar 2. With staging, lighting, catering, audio visual facilities and flexible seating for up to 400 around the Vulcan, it will provide an unique and powerful venue for private and corporate events, and for smaller VIP parties which can also include a tour of the aircraft. Vulcan celebrity speakers, including aircrew, can be arranged.

Ideas are also in development for an engineering skills centre that will build on the presence of XH558 and her technical team to provide inspirational training experiences for apprentices and young engineers. “Initial reaction from industry has been superb, with suggestions and offers of help in setting up courses and providing expertise,” says technical director Andrew Edmondson. “We would like to talk to any company that may find it useful to offer a truly inspiring environment for team building and basic training in areas that may include project management, audit, craft and trade skills, compliance and potentially a lot more. I’d like to understand your needs so we can evolve this unique resource to help satisfy them in an inspiring way.”

Andrew Edmondson is best known as the engineering leader who, under the guidance of Robert Pleming, successfully completed the world’s most ambitious aviation heritage project when XH558 returned to the skies in 2007. He is also playing a key role in negotiations with the Civil Aviation Authority, with whom he is working to revise airworthiness requirements for the Complex category of ex-military aircraft. Pleming believes that the experience of Edmondson and his team, which today ensures that XH558 is more reliable than many military aircraft, has given Vulcan to the Sky Trust the world’s most complete expertise in the restoration, maintenance and safe operation of classic heritage jets. This knowledge, together with the workshop resources of the Vulcan to the Sky technical crew, will be made available to those who are operating the growing number of privately owned ex-military heritage jet aircraft.

“We are reaching a period where there are an increasing number of ex-military jets available for private ownership and operation, ranging from relatively simple trainers to more sophisticated multi-engined aircraft. Running them is a completely different proposition to operating say a Spitfire, or even an early jet like a Hunter,” says Edmondson. “We can help solve that challenge, advising on what is possible, developing and implementing restoration plans and providing maintenance and operational management within an approved quality system, to the world’s highest safety standards.”

”The new centre will help to keep many more of these wonderful vintage aircraft alive and safe, providing enjoyment for generations to come,” concludes Edmondson.

The creation and manufacture of CERAMICS is a major activity in the Amalfi region.

The Lorain County Visitors Bureau is once again hosting the Lorain County Beautiful Awards. They are in their second decade of celebrating some of the most beautiful architecture and landscaping in Lorain County. As part of this event, they display an image of all of the nominees at the Awards celebration in November. Lorain's Charleston Cemetary is a 2007 nominee.

The little cemetery on 6th (once known as Bank Street) was all but forgotten. The graves of the settlers down trodden and their headstones used as bases for baseball games by local children through the decades, people taking their dogs to the green place to defecate - its primary purpose that as a place of final rest slowly decaying over the decades until it was almost lost.

But the little cemetery found an advocate and for over two decades Diane Medina by sheer tenacity has discovered, preserved, researched, written, talked to whomever would listen ,nagged and pulled back the cemetery from almost total destruction and historic amnesia so that those interred there would not be forgotten.

Frank Sipkovsky, of the Black River Historical Society in the last year has acted as the general contractor of the restoration project to give this historic landmark the due it deserves.

Many people have given their time, talent, expertise and money to recognize the people who took this city from the woods and swamps and staying for eternity.

They, the “restorers” are the ”people”, who do not look for credit or thanks but it is “thanks to the “people” phase one of the cemetery project is nearing completion. Although there is still a long way to go to make the cemetery worthy of it’s historical status and due reverence to a group of people who clawed from the wilderness a home we know as Lorain, the first steps have been taken.

We have, thanks to their generosity, been able to purchase the archways for the entranceways on 6th Street and 7th Street designed by Gary Fischer of Arkinetics (gratis)

The bricks are a mixture of those from the torn down Hawthorne School (Lorain City Schools) and to a donation of bricks by Mr. Mike Bruder- Bruder Building Materials Inc

Mr. Ken Kudela of I.U of Brickworkers & Allied Craftworkers, Northern Ohio Administrative District Council-Local #5 and his apprentices laid the bricks.

But even before that could happen stumps of trees had to be removed and the ground prepared (City of Lorain- Chuck Camera and Bob Renney)

Preparation of the site with the backhoe equipment and labor-Jim Campana joined the group. Next came the concrete Pete Falbo of Terminal Ready Mix -he also was there ! Even coffee and donuts were sent over by Ben Fligner of Fligners Market

Landmark plaques were donated by Boyer and Cool-Home for Funerals

The Lorain High Class of 1946 : paid fully for the one wrought iron archway on the 6th street side.

The other archway for 7th street and the sandstone caps paid for by donations from:

Lorain International, Tom Koba, Phil Seguin, Maureen and Jeff Smith, Palma and Tim Stipe , Anonymous, Loraine Ritchey and stipends from performances given by Diane Medina, Renee Dore, Dave Cotton and yours truly to the following organizations:

Peter Miller Museum, Avon Historical Society, Black River Historical Society, Amherst Historical Society, Amherst Heritage House, Black River Genealogists, 1st Congregational Supper Club, Lorain County Chapter of Ohio Genealogical Society, Lorain Public Library Systems and Bay Area Divers.

**** NOTE: We are still working on getting the wrought iron fence, lighting, sidewalks , a memorial statue to the pioneers, flowering shrubs and trees to replace the diseased ones that had to be taken out and also mapping and preserving the headstones . So that as was decreed in 1834 becomes a reality

The one-acre cemetery plot between the present 6th and 7th streets west of Washinton-av, with the following restrictions: To remain forever a public burying ground and to be under the control of the Town Council of the Town of Charleston”

Despite their expertise in making cars, Volkswagen executives just can't stop fantasizing about selling tricks in America, fast becoming a nation of truckers as SUVs, crossovers and pickups take over.

That's why VW displayed its new Tarok compact pikcup, slated to go on sale in South American countries. It has a 147-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder enginewith a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive.

Fabulous. Excpet taht every light pickup truck VW has ever offered for sale in These Staes has been rejected. Sadly, VW shows no incentive to offer any of its cars that are smaller then the Golf. I don't expect the Polo to come here anymore. Or the up! micro-hatchback. On the idea of seeing that in America, I've given up! I'm fed up! And if VW keeps trying to sell trucks when the Volkswagen brand stands for affordable drivers' cars, I just might throw up!
