Some scans of recently discovered old 6 x 4 prints taken by myself back in the 1980s and 1990s. These were taken with my trusted Canon AE1 camera and at the time I didn’t think some of them were good enough to use however, I thought some might find them interesting and that I would now share them.
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
I love to snorkel, have snorkeled a lot, both with and without a wetsuit, and in many different locations, but this was the first time wearing a 7mm wetsuit. It was so thick that I needed help getting into it. In addition to the full body wetsuit there was another piece, kind of a vest with shorts attached that I had to step into, then pull up and zip up. There were thick gloves, booties and a hood with a bib that covered my head neck and chin. The hood didn’t fit correctly; the chin portion was too close to my lower lip. I think the bib should have been tucked lower and more securely underneath the vest.
Once on board the zodiac we were given instructions. We were to enter the water and hold onto the rope alongside the top of the zodiac while our wetsuits filled with water so that our bodies would acclimate to the cold water. No problem for me, I love cold water.
The wetsuit was so buoyant that I wasn’t in control. The current carried my legs underneath the zodiac as I held tightly onto the rope alongside the top of the zodiac. As my legs were being pulled underneath the zodiac I put my head back trying to free my legs. At that moment my snorkel filled with water. I spit out the water and pulled the snorkel from my mouth as I held onto the rope with my left hand, legs still underneath the zodiac. To my horror the chin portion of the hood slid into my mouth making it difficult to talk and to breath. I couldn’t breathe out of my nose because my mask was still in place, and I couldn’t remove the neoprene from my mouth because of the thick gloves. I tried yelling for help hoping the guide in the zodiac would reach over the side with his bare hands and take the chin portion of the hood out of my mouth.
He does come to my aid. He looks at me as I’m saying I can’t breathe and he tells me to give him my hand. He tries to pull me up into the zodiac by my right arm, but he can’t. My legs are still going under the zodiac because of the current and I’m holding onto the rope with my left hand. I’m also mumbling that I can’t breathe, but he doesn’t get the hint to pull the neoprene out of my mouth. I’m beginning to panic when he yells, “GIVE ME YOUR LEG".
Somehow I get my left leg out of the water enough for him to grab hold. He pulled so hard that he yanked me into the zodiac with great force. I fell in-between the side of the zodiac and the wooden platform in the center. I’m still saying that I can’t breathe, I still can’t get the neoprene out of my mouth, my body is so sore, he’s on the radio asking for assistance as another ‘hopeful snorkeler” is in the water having difficulty. She’s on her back drifting away and can’t turn over because the wetsuit is so buoyant . . . and she’s a scuba diver!!!
Wow, in-between helping her and his radio call, he reaches over to me and pulls off one of my gloves. I take the neoprene out of my mouth and unzip the vest. Now I can breathe full breaths . . . what a relief! I’m watching in horror as my roommate is struggling in the water, and then struggling to get into the zodiac. What fear and panic on her face! So scary.
Fast forward a bit: Once we are both safe and sound in the zodiac, and have rested a bit, it's time for me to try again. This time I enter the water on the other side of the zodiac so that the current will pull me away from the zodiac, not underneath it. I don’t stay in the water long. The visibility is horrible, like pea soup, the water is very choppy due to the wind, and I don’t like the constricted feeling in the super thick wetsuit. I like to be in control in the water, and I feel I am not. The wet suit is too constricting and buoyant. I suppose that's necessary due to the very cold water, but I'm thinking maybe we should have worn a belt with light weights.
I've got to add --- especially for Karen and for those who know that Karen was snorkeling with us. She had NO problem in the water. Of course I suspect that Karen is part mermaid!!! She did complain of very poor visibility though, so it was fortunate that she had snorkeled the day before in calm water with good visibility. She kept popping her head up asking, “Where are the belugas?” She couldn’t even see them because of the murky water, and at times they were alongside her!
On the way back to land, kayaking is mentioned as another possible activity, but the guide says, “Oh no, no kayaks in this choppy water, they’ll turn over, too dangerous”.
WOW!!! That was shocking to hear. We were taken out to snorkel on a windy day in choppy water. Choppy water is more dangerous, and most always choppy water means poor visibility. Oh well . . .

ITALY’S – Guide to Archaeological, Architectural, and Cultural Heritage 2013: The Italian cities of Venice, L’Aquila, Rome, Pompeii, Naples, and the State of Sicily, etc, – “A Disgrace for Italy.” (04/2013).
Venice – Public Squares Covered with Ugly Advertising and Invasive Coke-Cola Machines; L’Aquila – Neglected and Abandoned after the Earthquake of 2009; Rome – A ‘Phony Rome’ for Lazy Tourist; Ancient Pompeii – Littered with Cancerous Asbestos; Naples – An Archaeological Supermarket Controlled by the Camorra mafia; & the State of Sicily – No funding for Archaeology, but, they now have ‘Etnaland’ – An Disneyland Theme Park.

“…I didn’t, however, cover the dimension you mention: B’s [Berlusconi’s] handling (or mishandling) of Italy’s cultural heritage. I’ve done a little inquiring about the situation at Pompeii where, of course, one of the houses collapsed. But I’d be curious to know more if you have more information.”
~ Prof. Alexander Stille, Personal Communication (26 October 2012).
“…Corruption is Italy is still a big problem, and it will be until it is linked to Berlusconi, and I insist: [Arch. Federica] Galloni has been linked (and she still is) with Berlusconi’s party. The MiBAC doesn’t want widespread news of this to avoid compromising the news of the former business practices of Arch. Federica Galloni and Comm. Luciano Marchetti.”

“Caro sig. Conde, purtroppo siamo già alla distruzione della nostro patrimonio culturale. Così come della nostra democrazia. E il rammarico più grande è l’assoluta disattenzione e la totale mancanza di indignazione che accompagnano questo scempio. Povero nostro amato Paese. Con I migliori saluti, Manuela Ghizzoni.”

INTRODUCTION:
ITALY’S – Guide to Archaeological, Architectural, and Cultural Heritage 2013 – “A Disgrace for Italy.”
“In the case of Herculaneum, Prof. Giacomo Boni thinks that is it is impossible to spend more than $6000 USD yearly if it is desired that the excavation be gradual and fruitful. A hurried excavation, the professor added, would be injurious, and he concludes with protesting against the collection of funds abroad, which might contributed for personal advertisement and not as spontaneous offerings made in account of the of admiration for antiquities.”

“Pompei – Amianto negli Scavi, il cancro uccide anche un custode – L’allarme, Una settimana fa era scomparsa un’archeologa. Ventiquattro vittime accerate I nomi saranno stampati su uno striscione di protesta.”

“Pompeii – Asbestos in the excavations, cancer is also kills guard – Warning, a week ago another [Italian] archaeologist passes away. The twenty-four victims [Italian custodians, restoration specialists, administrators, architect, archaeologist, and operator] will be published on a banner in Protest.”

Recently, the ‘THE INDEPENDENT’ of London (21 & 16 April 2013), and the ‘NEW YORK TIMES’, both these newspapers briefly reported on the continuing degrading conditions of the vast archaeological complex of the ancient City of Pompeii, this following a surprise inspection by special police agents from the national Italian Carabinieri and the Guardia di Finanza agencies, as well as other regional anti-mafia and legal representatives from the City of Naples. These agencies, particularly the Italian Carabinieri, an independent branch of the Italian government largely responsible for the investigation and prosecution of criminal activities relating to incidents of theft, damage, or exploitation of Italy’s Cultural Heritage. Together, these new investigations are now focusing on the Camorra mafia organizations criminal activities centered on their recent involvement in the acquiring of public works contacts and current participation in several high-profile restoration projects conducted, and or just completed throughout the archaeological site of Pompeii. The preliminary restoration projects for Pompeii, were designed, implemented, and administrated by numerous political appointees of the Special Archaeological Commission for Pompeii, similar in intent to the other Special Commissions created for the archaeological area’s Rome and Ostia, all which had been established during the former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi Government IV [8 May 2008 – 16 November 2011].

Paytrain Guide (timetable) for 1973, covering the route between Cleethorpes, Gainsborough Central, Retford and Sheffield. Paytrains were DMU-served passenger trains were you paid a guard on the train. This in turn meant no station staff or maintenance, and the decline and demolition of stations like Brigg, Gainsborough Central and Darnall.
This route was the old MS&LR (later GCR) route, opened in the late 1840s
