The Seabiscuit program took place on August 2003 at Countryside.
Seabiscuit's former jockey lives locally and he described the world of thoroughbred racing in the 1930s when Seabiscuit was the “all-star” of all time. He shared a scrapbook filled with his racing career highlights and shared many memories. The library was filled to capacity that day.
The Cullman County Soil & Water Conservation District (CCCD) has ramped up their innovative Cullman Emergency Hay Relief Program to full operational status this week. The CCCD began accepting applications from area cattle ranchers on Monday, January 9, 2017, for the program.
The concept of the Emergency Hay Relief Program is both simple and important: Hay will be sold on a first come, first served basis to area cattlemen, ranchers and farmers.
The reason? The now infamous Drought of 2016 took a huge toll on grassland growth leaving inventories of useable feed hay at extremely low levels. As a result, without hay brought in from locations outside of the Cullman drought area, the multi-million dollar livestock industry in Cullman County is at risk.
The incoming hay is being sold at cost to Cullman County residents at cost of $30 for a 4′ x 5′ bale + a small fee to contribute back to the program
As you can see in this video report on the program, Cullman County Associate Commissioner Garry Marchman has been the primary political driving force of this initiative to assist area ranchers.
Working in conjunction with Cullman County Soil & Water Conservation District Project Coordinator Travis Kress and on-the-ground liaison Lisa Merritt, hundreds of rolls of baled hay are now freely flowing through the Cullman Agricultural Trade Center to Cullman Cattlemen in need:
According to Marchman, 50% of all Cullman area cattle sales are generated by small ranchers (up to 50 head of cattle). Many of these smaller cattlemen do not carry insurance to cover catastrophic herd loss events precipitated by such natural disasters as droughts. These sizes ranchers are the focus of the Emergency Hay Relief Program.
Response to the program has been huge with 120 applications for over 5,000 rolls of hay received by the CCSWCD.
Due to funding limitations, the goal is to distribute approximately 2,000 rolls of hay to local cattlemen. Over 600 rolls have already been placed in the hands of farmers.

Name of Program: Housing reconstruction program after Gorkha Earthquake
Location:Panchkhal Municipality-6, Kavrepalanchok
Houseowner Name:Pushpa Maya Danuwar
Building Typology: Adobe
Supported by: Nepal Government
This house sees all the earthquake resistant elements but the construction is on adobe. The house owner Pushpa Maya Danuwar has received the municipal permit for this design as well.
Adobe buildings are one of the oldest building typology in Nepal. These buildings are mud-based construction. These buildings are constructed using sun-dried bricks (earthen) with mud mortar for the construction of the structural walls.
Nepal suffered a massive loss of lives and property on Saturday 25 April 2015, when the devastating magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Nepal. Subsequent aftershocks, including one of magnitude 7.3 near the Chinese border on 12 May, produced additional losses of life and property.
The earthquake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest and in the Langtang valley. Villages were flattened and people were made homeless across 31 districts, with 14 districts suffering the highest impact. Infrastructure was damaged throughout the earthquake zone. Historic neighborhoods and heritage sites were destroyed in the Kathmandu Valley.
As a result of the earthquake, 8,790 people died and more than 22,300 people were injured. Assessments showed that at least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government buildings were destroyed. Another 256,697 private houses and 3,622 government buildings were partially damaged. In addition, 19,000 classrooms were destroyed and 11,000 damaged.
The earthquake affected manufacturing, production, and trade in agriculture as well as tourism and other areas of the service sector, thereby weakening the national economy. Economic growth fell in 2015 and has picked up slowly 2016. Once fully underway, reconstruction should contribute to economic growth in the coming years.
According to initial estimates arrived at during the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), NPR 669 billion would be required to reconstruct damaged properties and infrastructure and to support recovery in affected sectors of the economy.
The government was providing 300 hundred thousand grant for Private housing reconstruction & 100 hundred thousand grant for retrofitting of the private house damaged by earthquake
