This is just a small expanse of one of my favorite places in Madison County. The view takes you by surprise. You drive down off a heavily wooded hill and suddenly it opens up to breathtaking beauty. But of course there is always the inevitable. A vast portion of the valley has been purchased by a land developer. Five acre lots with cookie-cutter MacMansions coming soon.
The late 1600s saw colonial frontiersmen in America trekking across Virginia to forge into the West. In the early 1700s a colony of Germans, seeking a new homeland, settled here in the flatlands rather than cross the daunting Blue Ridge Mountains. It was no picnic; they faced a harsh winter and many starved. The survivors eked out a successful community in this valley that is still in evidence today.
ricevo oggi da Bassima, la nostra guida in Palestina, e pubblico:
" Perchè loro possono.
Nurit Peled è la proff. e pacifista israeliana per eccellenza, ha mandato questo orribile documento che mostra chiaramente come prepotentemente si invadono le proprietà palestinesi e si attacca senza nessun pudore nè rispetto per nessuno e arrestano donne e uomini solo per il fatto che difendono la loro terra. guardate la mailing list di Nurit e quasi tutti israeliani e ebrei di tutto il mondo. E' la voce di chi non ha voce. Questa è l'occupazione e questo la tv non lo mostra.....solo in israele.
fatelo girare. Bassima"

24/12/2009 La sindrome del checkpoint
Questa strada di Hebron è riservata agli israeliani; si trova poco distante dalla moschea di Abramo che ha un lato musulmano e un lato sinagoga ipersorvegliati.
I Palestinesi qui possono transitare solo a piedi, camminando lungo una corsia separata, che vedete in basso a sinistra. In fondo alla via c'è un checkpoint.
Noi quel giorno stavamo percorrendo il camminamento per i Palestinesi. Questo bimbo, invece, credo appena uscito da scuola, camminava in mezzo alla strada degli ebrei. Ho avuto un sussulto, pensando ai soldati che là in fondo lo vedevano. Ho scattato la foto perché mi affascinava il suo coraggio di passare lì in mezzo, ma temevo per lui, temevo che i militari assolutamente imprevedibili...
L' ho seguito con lo sguardo: a forse 20 metri dalla torretta ha preso la rincorsa ed è saltato oltre il separatore. Ho pensato : sei forte, e farai grandi cose :-)
this small, beautiful valley is just down the road from my home. If I panned the camera right just a wee little bit there would be another view of Old Rag. :) This valley is home to the Hebron Lutheran church, built 303 years ago and in continuous us since then, and one day perhaps I will share photos of that. But not today. Today is mowing grass day! It seems to keep growing no matter what the world situation is!
The eastbound 9 AM excursion to Staunton and back passes through Hebron, just before a short pause at La Grange to wait on traffic ahead.
Boone Fork Creek, Foscoe, NC
This is Boone Fork Creek just above Hebron Falls. This was taken before the big rain and wind storm so I'm sure it looks very different now.
Originally the building was the Hebron Savings Bank. In 1981 The bank swapped their building for land owned by the town across the street to expand. The town spent $30,000 renovating the building to make it into town hall.
Alden-Hebron High School is the smallest school to win the Illinois High School Boys Basketball Championship. In 1952, with an enrollment of 98 students, the boys team won the state title with an overtime victory over Quincy. At the time, all Illinois schools competed for a single championship, regardless of enrollment. The town's water tower is painted to look like a basketball in commemoration of the event.
