In March 2009, our dear friend, Dr. John Brighton passed away. John was a local family doctor, a strong advocate for nature and wildlife, and a very active member of the birding community. He was also a fantastic man who had a positive effect on so many people in our community. Donna and I felt like something should be done to honor John's contribution to our lives, and our community. Later that year we brought a proposal to the Nature Trust of BC to do something to honor John on the Englishman River Estuary. With the support of the Nature Trust of BC, and with the generous support of the communities of Parksville and Qualicum Beach, a nature kiosk was unveiled in May of this year. On one side is a map of the Nature Trust property at the Englishman River Estuary, and on the other is natural history information related to the area.
Thanks to everyone who donated money, photographs, and hard work to this project.
The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.

DEDICATED TO RECLAIMING FOR THE PRESERVATION AND REUSE OF ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING.
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM
Purchasing:
– Purchase a quart first instead of a massive quantity in the event you’re not dedicated to the color. Paint a sheet of foam board and move it around the area to determine how the colour is affected by the light .
The pros recommend one gallon for every 400 square feet. Covering rough textured or unprimed surfaces may require more.
– Don’t apply latex on an oil end and vice versa without first sanding the walls (make sure to put on a mask) and wiping away the dust particles using a tack cloth. Employ a primer of the identical composition (latex or oil) of the planned topcoat. To tell if your current wall color is water- or oil-based, douse a white cloth with rubbing alcohol and rub it on the wall (in an out-of-the-way spot). If the paint softens and starts to move onto the cloth, it is water based. If the alcohol doesn’t remove any color, it is oil-based.
– Do not underestimate how long it’ll take you to find the job done. review Allow two weeks to 30 days to cure before wiping or washing.
– Paints have volatile organic compounds (VOCs ) that can release toxic gas to the air for many years after a room has been painted. Paint with low-VOCs or zero-VOCs. -Paints with a green seal possess a VOC of less than 50 grams/liter for apartment and less than 150 grams/liter of non-flat.
Prep:
– Paint does not stick very well to filthy walls, so clean them with water and soap (or TSP) and wash with water once done. Let dry overnight.
– sterile ceilings before painting. There’ll be cobwebs and dust which you don’t see. Overlap the tape seams by at least an inch to avoid seepage between pieces, and after that seal the tape into the face with your fingers or a rag.
– Don’t cover the floors with plastic as it can be very slippery. Use drop cloths or sheets to protect them from drips and splatters.
– The colour mixer in the paint shop can create small variations from can to can. The last thing you want is to have 2 shades of a color on the exact same wall. This may be remedied by blending the paint cans all before you begin painting to make certain you will have consistent color.
– Fill holes with spackle with a five-in-one tool or broad blade and caulk where necessary. Sand dry spackle each spot.
– Don’t underestimate how long it is going to take you to get the job finished. Allow two weeks to 30 days to cure before washing or draining.
– Eliminating outlet covers makes for a much neater paint job. Tape the screws into the cover , and tape over the light or outlet switch to keep paint from getting on them.
Painting Ceilings:
– Scaffolding comes in components called “dollars” and “cross dollars”. For a high ceiling, 4 bucks should suffice. Each dollar prices about $12 a day to lease. You’ll also want: walk boards or boards to place along the bucks, these rent for about $10 every per day. -Wheels rent separately. They are important because they enable the scaffolding to move . Four wheels rent for approximately $25 per day.
– When painting a textured ceiling, then be sure to use a thick-nap roller to ensure that you get full coverage over the bumps and irregularities in the textured surface. To get a smooth drywall ceiling, you can use a roller having a rest.

Time-Saving Options:
Buy a good quality edger (they’re fairly inexpensive) and take your time at the corners so that you don’t spend all the extra time taping off everything.
– If you take a break whilst painting, cover rollers in plastic wrap and refrigerate so that you don’t have to wash them every time you stop.
– Consider skipping the paint trays and utilizing a five-gallon bucket using a roller display indoors. This saves time on filling and re-filling the bucket.
– Use a hammer and nail to poke holes in the rim of the paint can. It enables the paint.
Tools:
Don’t use bristlesbased paint, the water can make the bristles limp. Foam brushes are good for intricate work such as window casings or painting molding. These brushes normally last for only one use because they’re hard to clean and easy to tear.
– If your job requires oil-based paint, natural bristles like ox or hog hair are perfect because they hold paint better than artificial bristles.
– If you are using latex paint, then polyester and nylon brushes are a lot better since they do not absorb water like normal fibers.
– Great all-purpose brushes are flagged, meaning that the bristles vary in length slowly coming to a peak in the middle of the brush. Brushes offer a smooth, even, more precise coating of paint.
– Utilize the right roller for the job. For smooth surfaces such as wallboard and wood, use a roller using a 3/8-inch or less nap. For surfaces with feel, larger naps can reduce the number of coatings — and the amount of time spent painting.
Clean Up:
If the paint dries on the brush, you’ll need special solvents to remove it. If your residence is on a sewer system, you are able to wash the brushes but be careful to not eliminate paint in a region where it might seep into the groundwater.
– For oil-based paints, so you’ll need a solvent like paint thinner or mineral spirits. Pour about two inches of thinner into a metal container until the paint comes off and then swirl the brush that is filthy inside.
– Moist paintbrushes can be wrapped in plastic or waxed paper and sealed with a rubber band or aluminum foil. Hang brushes down to maintain their shape.
Be sure to label each container with the color and manufacturer name.
– A common issue called “hatbanding” takes place when painters use a paintbrush for cutting in and a roller to apply the remaining portion of the paint, thus producing another texture across the ceiling and trim. To prevent hatbanding, roll the paint as areas as possible.

Dedicated to Blanch Jenkins who "dy'd" in 1762. View as "large".
St Cybi's was dedicated to the 6th Century Cornish St Cybi who crossed the Bristol Channel and sailed up the Usk, landing at Llangybbi. After a confrontation with a local chieftain involving a couple of miracles, he was granted the land for the church. The tower, nave and chancel date from the 13/4th Centuries, with 17th Century fittings such as the font. The church is noted for its mediaeval wall paintings, including the famous "Christ of the Trades" or "Sunday Christ". Unfortunately they have been badly damaged, possible by Cromwell's Roundheads who tore through Monmouthshire destroying all signs of "idolatry" like a 17th Century Taliban.
