During a working trip to the Chernihiv region, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with Vice Chancellor, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany Robert Habeck and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Marija Pejčinović Burić saw the consequences of the occupation of the village of Yahidne by Russian troops and the war crimes committed by them.
The Head of State, together with foreign guests, visited the school, in the basement of which the occupiers kept 367 civilians in unsanitary conditions, without water and food, from March 3 to March 30, 2022. Among the hostages were 50 children, including several babies - the youngest was one and a half months old. 11 people died, unable to withstand the inhumane conditions. Ten were shot by Russian invaders.
The President of Ukraine and the European guests talked with the villagers who were kept in the basement of the school.
"Thank you for the fact that you survived, managed to wait for our warriors and to tell the whole world about the tragedy that the Russian Federation, the Russian military, together with their leadership, their President, have brought to our land," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
The Head of State noted that the residents of Yahidne have lived through terrible ordeals. According to him, about 400 people lived in this village before the occupation, and almost 370 people were kept in the school basement with an area of less than 200 square meters.
"They have been kept in the basement for 27 days. They survived – standing and sitting. 11 people, unfortunately, died. And all these people somehow lived in the dark and waited for the return of Ukraine," he said.
The President said that the prisoners wrote the names and dates of death of fellow villagers on the walls in the dark so as not to forget. And the children wrote the lines of the national anthem of Ukraine.
"It is extremely important that these people survived. It is extremely important that our troops de-occupy such settlements with real heroes every day," added Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Head of State emphasized the importance of the presence of representatives of our partners in the liberated territories of Ukraine, who can see everything with their own eyes.
"It is important to be in such basements in order to understand, in order to help Ukraine. To think about how to find a way to talk with the Russian Federation," the President noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also thanked the local residents and the authorities who fought for their lives every day during the Russian occupation.
As a result of military aggression, all 173 houses in the village of Yahidne were damaged, 16 of them were destroyed. In addition, the communal property was destroyed - a cultural center and a first aid station. The school building was heavily damaged.
According to Vyacheslav Chaus, Head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, thanks to funding from the state and regional budgets, thanks to volunteers and the Latvian government, which allocated funds for building materials and reconstruction, more than 100 houses were reconstructed last year.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT MATAHURA
A fatal accident, startling in the suddenness of its consequences, occurred on Saturday afternoon last and by which an active and promising life was brought to an untimely and abrupt termination. The victim was Mr W. Potter, of Ohinewai, a young man of 26 years of age, widely known and esteemed. It appears Mr Potter was at the time engaged bringing in a waggon load of green flax from a swamp on the Matahura road, about two miles in from the railway crossing; when on coming down a small hill the horses (four) got a bit restive and in his attempt to restain them he fell off his load, (flax is at all times very slippery), and falling violently on his head he received such a shock that death was almost instantaneous. Mr Hannan Wolter, for whom deceased was working, happened to be riding some litting distance behind the waggon and on seeing what had happened immediately went to render help and found that Potter was insensible, he remained so far a short time and expired. He then rode on to inform Mr W, Hooten, (brother-in-law of Mr Potter) at Ohinewai, and despatched a messenger to Huntly who returned with Dr. Maclachlan at once. On arrival the doctor pronounced life extinct and stated the cause of death. The body was soon removed to Mr Hootens, their sudden and sad bereavement plunging the family into gloom and despondency. An inquest was held at Mr Hooten's yesterday, into the circumstances, Mr R. R. Ralph J.P., acted as Coroner, the jury consisted of Messrs R. Muir, foreman, Salton, Stott, and Zance. Mr Harman Wolter, the chief witness, stated the particulars, as mentioned above, and what he had done after the accident, leaving one of his men in charge of the body while he despatched a messenger for the doctor and hastened to report the matter to the police. Dr. Maclachlan stated that when he arrived at the scene of the accident he found deceased lying on his back, his face being very blanched. He discovered a wound about an inch long on the vertex of the head, and the body was very limp. Death in his opinion resulted from failure of the heart's action caused by a violent shock to the system such as a heavy fall might produce, Robert Waugh, who came to Mr Wolter's assistance, and Mr W. Hooten brother-in-law of deceased also gave evidence. The jury returned a verdict a "Accidental Death." The body will be taken to Auckland to-day for interment.

MR. JOSEPH POTTER.
The remains of Mr. Joseph Potter were interred at Waikumete cemetery yesterday afternoon. Mr. Potter arrived in Auckland by the ship Egmont as far back as 1858, just 54 years to the day of his death. Mr. Potter carried on business for many years in this city, and has resided at Mt. Eden for the last 34 years of his life. During the last few years, Mr. Potter has been pretty well confined to his house, as he had attained the advanced age of 84. In bygone times he was chairman of the Mount Eden Road Board, Domain Board, and School Committee. He was also an active worker in connection with the Congregational Church, being for years deacon of the old High-street Church, afterwards at Beresford-street Church, and up to the time of his death a deacon of Mount Eden Church. He also officiated as superintendent of that Sunday school for a long period. Mr. Potter was predeceased, by his wife 10 years ago. He leaves two sons and five daughters, twenty-one grandchildren, and one greatgrandchild.

The Postcard
A cropped Paragon Series postcard that was published by A. H. & S. These initials stand for Abel Heywood & Sons of Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire.
The card was posted in Margate using a 2d. stamp on Thursday the 7th. September 1950. It was sent to:
Mrs. Aston,
10, Markhouse Avenue,
Walthamstow,
London E17.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Cliftonville - Thursday.
Dear Nana,
Just a card to let you
know that we are still
enjoying our holiday
but it is going far too
quickly.
The weather has been
lovely, but today it is
rather grey. However
we are hoping for the
best.
We are going to
Broadstairs today for
the ride, & we think it
is more sheltered.
Valerie is still enjoying
the sea & sands.
Cheers & love from
Ivy & Walter."
Cliftonville
Cliftonville is a coastal area of the town of Margate, situated to the east of the main town. It contains the area known as Palm Bay.
The original Palm Bay estate was built in the 1930's as a number of large, wide avenues with detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages and gardens. This land was sold by Mr Sidney Simon Van Den Bergh to the Palm Bay Estate Co. on the 23rd. June 1924. Such avenues include Gloucester Avenue and Leicester Avenue.
East Cliftonville
The Palm Bay estate covers the eastern part of Cliftonville, and was fields before the first avenue was built. It extends east beyond Northumberland Avenue and has been developed in phases. The later phase extending eastwards of Princess Margaret Avenue is a modern-style housing estate with small houses largely identical in appearance and of less substantial build quality than the original 1930's estate.
The eastward expansion of Cliftonville has included much of the former parish of Northdown, including Northdown Park and House.
West Cliftonville
West Cliftonville was originally developed as the up-market alternative to bustling Margate, and had many small private hotels and guest houses with outstanding Victorian architecture which catered for the many visitors to what was in the first half of the 20th. century a thriving holiday resort.
Many of the large hotels have been converted into one bed flats; this has brought about positive action from Thanet District Council which introduced selective licensing, ensuring that quality home improvements are maintained by landlords (2006) and restricting planning permission for one bedroom flats (2007).
Cliftonville now has many of its streets protected by conservation area orders. The seafront area once included many large hotels, including at one time a large Butlins complex. Some fantastic hotels remain, e.g. Smiths Court Hotel overlooking the sea, and The Walpole Bay Hotel.
Tourism and visitor numbers have increased in Cliftonville (2018) with the addition of newly opened bed and breakfasts changing the Cliftonville landscape. Northdown Road and Cliff Terrace have also had a resurgence, with many trendy and hip businesses opening up.
The Oval Bandstand and lawns run by community group GRASS Cliftonville bring an opportunity to bring community engagement to Cliftonville, and they host a monthly award-winning farmers' market on the last Sunday of every month.
During the summer there are a number of activities and events, including musical shows. The Tom Thumb Theatre brings a host of music events and theatre to Cliftonville.
Writing and Poetry
During the first half of the 20th. century, Cliftonville was considered the fashionable hotel quarter of Margate. It was during the autumn of 1921 that T. S. Eliot spent a period of convalescence at the Albermarle Hotel. His widow has confirmed that he found inspiration for, and wrote significant sections of 'The Waste Land' in the Grade II listed Nayland Rock promenade shelter.
The spirit of early 20th. century Margate and Cliftonville was caught by John Betjeman (1906 - 1984) in his poem "Margate 1940":
Margate 1940
From out The Queen's Highcliffe for weeks at a stretch
I watched how the mower evaded the vetch,
So that over the putting-course rashes were seen
Of pink and of yellow among the burnt green.
How restful to putt, when the strains of a band
Announced a thé dansant was on at The Grand,
While over the privet, comminglingly clear,
I heard lesser Co-Optimists down by the pier.
How lightly municipal, meltingly tarr'd,
Were the walks through the lawns by the Queen's Promenade
As soft over Cliftonville languished the light
Down Harold Road, Norfolk Road, into the night.
Oh! then what a pleasure to see the ground floor
With tables for two laid as tables for four,
And bottles of sauce and Kia-Ora and squash
Awaiting their owners who'd gone up to wash -
Who had gone up to wash the ozone from their skins
The sand from their legs and the rock from their chins,
To prepare for an evening of dancing and cards
And forget the sea-breeze on the dry promenades.
From third floor and fourth floor the children looked down
Upon ribbons of light in the salt-scented town;
And drowning the trams roared the sound of the sea
As it washed in the shingle the scraps of their tea.
Beside The Queen's Highcliffe now rank grows the vetch,
Now dark is the terrace, a storm-battered stretch;
And I think, as the fairy-lit sights I recall,
It is those we are fighting for, foremost of all.
We know from Betjeman's letters that he visited Margate in 1929 while staying at nearby Birchington with his convalescing employer.
This visit alone would have been sufficient to acquaint him with Margate's pre-war gaiety, the innocent pleasures it offered as a family seaside resort, as well as the more upmarket pretensions of its eastern extension, Cliftonville.
There were probably subsequent visits, one of which must have taken place in the early years of the second World War, as recorded in the poem 'Margate, 1940'.
The evocation of the resort's former glories poignantly conjures up, by contrast, the neglected, bomb-battered desolation it had become.
Note: 'Vetch' is a climbing plant in the pea/legume family. It produces small, pealike flowers (often blue, purple, yellow, or white). It grows quickly and is highly valued in farming for forage (animal feed) and as green manure. Like other legumes, vetches host bacteria on their roots that take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a natural fertilizer, thereby improving soil health.
Cliftonville Lido
The cream coloured Art Deco complex with its porthole windows, bright red roof tiles and four-sided ‘Lido’ beacon has been closed for over 30 years. The swimming pool is now filled with sand.
The lido was built by John Henry Iles, the creator of Dreamland - Margate’s celebrated pleasure park - and was a vibrant part of the town right up until the 1970's, when it was last used as a disco. The swimming pool (where artist Tracey Emin learnt to swim) was finally shut in the 1980's.
The Clifton Baths were listed in 2008 due to their importance in British seaside history - they were one of the earliest surviving sea bathing establishments in the country.
Trevor Howard
Trevor Howard was born in Cliftonville on the 29th. September 1913.

September 7, 1950 (Thursday)
The Birth of the Nikkei
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 7th. September 1950, the Nikkei 225 index, a measure of stock price rises and falls on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was introduced.
The Arrest of Qian Xuesen
Also on that day, Qian Xuesen, a Chinese-born professor at Caltech and one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was arrested by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
This occurred a few days before he was scheduled to travel to the People's Republic of China to visit his sick father. Earlier in the year, his security clearance had been revoked when his name appeared in a document of the Communist Party USA.
The United States Customs Service searched his luggage and found technical papers that appeared to have been accumulated from his work in aircraft and missile design.
Qian was returned to Communist China in 1955 as part of an exchange of prisoners of war, and went on to found China's ballistic missile program.
Ernest Hemingway
Also on the 7th. September 1950, the first fiction by Ernest Hemingway, in more than a decade, was seen with the publication of Across the River.
Truth or Consequences
Also on that day, the game show Truth or Consequences made its debut on the CBS television network at 10:00 pm Eastern Time, after having been a successful radio program.
Truth or Consequences (affectionately known as "T or C") is also a quirky, laid-back city in southwestern New Mexico which is famous for its natural geothermal hot springs.
Originally founded as "Hot Springs," the city made national headlines in March 1950 by legally changing its name to Truth or Consequences. It was an audacious publicity stunt after the host of the popular NBC radio quiz show of the same name, Ralph Edwards, promised to broadcast the program from any town that re-named itself to match the show.
Australia's Greatest Conman
The 7th. September 1950 also marked the birth of Johann Friedrich Hohenberger, in Munich, West Germany.
He became known as John Friedrich, Australia's greatest conman. He committed suicide in 1991.
More on John below.
