"Kneeland man honored for decoy carving"
Leonard Rousseau of Kneeland recently won the World Championship title in the decorative decoy pairs division at this year’s 48th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving and Art Festival in Ocean City, Maryland.
This is an international event that features about 1,200 different wildfowl carvings representing more than 150 species from around the world.
Rousseau has been carving decoys for over 30 years and has won numerous Best of Show awards. His carvings have been featured in Wildfowl Carving magazine, have been purchased by collectors from across the country and can be seen in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Visitor Center in Loleta. His winning pair of Gadwall ducks will be on display for one year at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

What is the Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show?
The show is an event where carvers, collectors, and visitors convene in Astoria, Oregon. From highly decorative works of art to functional hunting decoys, about 400 different carvings from around the United States and Canada can be viewed.
Woodcarvers of all levels – from youth to novices to world champions – compete against their peers for the chance to win prize money and ribbons. There are over 50 different categories in which an artist can compete. The show is a waterfowl, wildlife, fish, native American, Artistic Creations, and other wood carving competitions and art show.
The show's purpose is to promote these art forms.
Artists from all over come to compete and display their art forms. Most artists are from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Montana, and British Columbia although there are artists from all over the United States and Canada in attendance. Mail-in entries are also accepted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It all began with an idea to show the beauty of hand-carved waterfowl and wildlife.
Since 1988, the Columbia Flyway Show has been a labor of love for the Feather and Quill Carvers Club. The show has progressed from meager beginnings in the Columbia Art Center, a converted old church basement, to motel conference rooms, to the City of Vancouver's Water Resources Education Center. The show has enjoyed a wonderful 10-year run in Vancouver.
After the hugely successful 2019 show, the event has outgrown the Center. After two non-show years due to the Covid Virus, the 2022 event was held in Astoria, Oregon, on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
The Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show has become one of the premier wildlife carving shows in the country as a result of the dedication of a small group of carvers and artists, as well as membership in the International Wildfowl Carvers Association. Carvers come from all over the U.S. and Canada to participate in the competition and to share with and learn from other carvers and artists.
The new venue, the Clatsop County Fairgrounds and Expo Center feature a new, spacious 15,000 s/f exhibit hall. Due to the size of the Expo Center, there is ample room for displays, vendors, and demos.
A large part of the success of the Flyway Show is the ongoing seminars by Professional and World Champion carvers. Friday is dedicated to a full-day, hands-on pay class. Saturday and Sunday find non-stop free and pay seminars open to all visitors.
The banquet is held in the showroom on Saturday evening. Good food, fun, and fellowship are followed by the after-dinner auction. A wonderful evening in a beautiful setting!
This new venue is picture-perfect with every amenity for a show focusing on wildlife art. Astoria, Oregon, located at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, is rich in history. Astoria is a wonderful area to enjoy all the sites of the beautiful Oregon Coast. Lots of hotels, restaurants, and tourist sights to enjoy.
Make your plans now to attend the wildlife carving show, “ON THE OTHER COAST”.
It may only be a local paper but I was still excited when they used my photo. Geoff was my 59th stranger and has doubled up to be my first photo journalism capture...

*Garage Queens since 1998!*
È così che spesso ci si riferisce a queste cinque ragazze toscane, e a ragion veduta! Con centinaia di show in tutta italia e in Europa alle spalle, e due 7", un EP e un album già realizzati, le Cleopatras stanno tornando con la loro ultima fatica "La maledizione del Faraone", disponibile in CD per la mitica Ammonia Records, e in cassetta per la label californiana Wiener Records (sussidiaria della Burger Records)! Un mix irriverente e frizzante di garage, punk rock e rock'n'roll. Tutto rigorosamente al femminile, con un tocco di ironia toscana! Non abbiate paura della maledizione del Faraone... nel peggiore dei casi finirete col prendervi una bella cotta!
Camilla, Rossana, Alice, Darleen b. e Marla'O calcano le scene del rock'n'roll, in Italia e non solo, dal 1998, tanto da essere spesso definite "gruppo di punta della scena garage punk al femminile in italia". Nel 2010 hanno aperto i concerti di bands come Morlocks, Pretty Things, The Real McKenzies, The Lordds of Altamont, molto apprezzate nella sfera musicale garage internazionale. Risale al novembre 2009 il tour in UK, durante il quale le Cleopatras hanno avuto la possibilità di suonare in locali famosi quali per esempio il Peter Parker’s Rock’n’roll Club, a Londra, che fu teatro delle prime recording sessions dei Rolling Stones. Nel corso degli anni hanno inoltre partecipato a molti festival musicali, quali Festival Beat (Piacenza), BusOne (Piacenza), Festival Surf (Teramo), il Teenage Attack (Pisticci - MT) etc...Specialmente dal 2009 la band, rinvigorita dall’energia portata dall’entrata della nuova chitarrista, ha tenuto moltissime date, attraversando l’Italia, dal sud al nord, a bordo del suo furgoncino volkswagen dell’’85.
Camilla - drums & screams
Rossana - guitar & backing vocals
Darleen b. - voice, theremin & tambourine

One of my photos shot for Crew Clothing of Dee Caffari was used nice and big in the Sunday Times today.
This was on the homepage of myspace.com for a while a couple days ago!
The snippet about FUN's album stream included my picture. Apparently a couple hours later it was switched to a different shot of them, but I am very glad to have had that airtime!

I have had photographs published several times in the context of scientific research. With my image "Panelakovy Svet" being used in a recent book on Canadian intellectual Marshall McLuhan, I feel I have now made a real artistic contribution.
Also of note, my photograph of the extremely rare Ontario shrub Celtis tenuifolia has been used on this very nice website on the wildlife of the Trent-Severn Waterway. My photograph can be found in the species at risk section under Dwarf Hackberry
Two of my pictures have been used in a book on "police vehicles in the united kingdom" by michael wren available from www.wicked-obvious.co.uk
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle 12 Aug 1916 p11.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.

317/365. A photo a day for a year.
Documentary shot today. The photograph of a rainbow I took back on day 280 has been used for the cover of a local business directory magazine called The Local Oracle :)
It might not be the cover of National Geographic but it's a start!
Today's 365 project shot is a photograph of the magazine, delivered through my letterbox today, exactly how it landed on the doormat.
“Illiam Dhone: A Manx Historical Drama which won the Chruinnaght Gold Medal, 1924”
by J. J. Keen
Published by Yn Chruinnaght Vanninagh Ashoonagh, as “Publication No. 1”, in 1926
Printed by S. K. Broadgate & Co. Ltd., Douglas
A seven-scene play on the life, death and aftermath of William Christian (“Illiam Dhone”).The play is a masterful handling of the contentious question of the traitor/nationalist status of Illiam Dhone in handing the island over to the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War. Kneen manages to leave the question still open in the play, despite making Dhone a very strong and heroic character.
That J. J. Kneen (1873 - 1938) was perhaps the leading Manx linguist as well as scholar and nationalist of his day would not come as a surprise after reading this play. He had a great many articles and translations to him name, although his most famous work is probably the translation the Manx National Anthem into Manx.
Kneen was a keen playwright also, writing many plays on Manx topics and themes. This play of ‘Illiam Dhone’ is a curious instance in that Kneen deals with Dhone and the complex issues surrounding him masterfully while giving the play a very strange format - effectively splitting it into three parts:
(1) the Manx “rebellion” (in which Dhone does not appear throughout the first scene, when the Derby Monarchist rule is overthrown),
(2) the arrest, trial and execution of Dhone, eleven years later,
(3) the story of Dhone son’s overcoming a rival to marry the daughter of one of Dhone’s accusers.
It should be clear what a daring opening act it is to leap straight into the rebellion, but also what a curious final act Kneen gives the play. It almost feels as if the play would be better titled, ‘Illiam Dhone and the Curse of the Clan Christian’.
Some of the characterisation is wonderful, particularly the interplay of Lady Molineux and Bishop Rutter in Scene I, where Rutter’s almost camp reactions to her outspoken attacks of the Roundheads is brilliant when set against the raucous songs that are left to us by the historical Samuel Rutter (Bishop 1660-1662/3). But this is nothing to the brilliant handling of Dhone himself, who is heroic, clearly drawn and yet vague at the same time. This is perhaps shown in one of the key lines in the play when Dhone is refusing to try to escape from the troops out to arrest him:
Christian:
Were it a crime to be a patriot, then am I a criminal indeed. I ever placed my country before aught else.
[...]
‘Twould be as well for a mouse to struggle against a lion, as for our puny little Isle to attempt to dictate to the armed forces if the English State.
[Scene III., p. 11]
