Five YouthPoint is part of the Five Children and Families Trust. We provide a detached youth service within the Speke/Garston South Liverpool area.
The photographs above were taken during a pamper day which took place at a YouthPoint project called Blossom, a 10-week accredited self-esteem project examining all areas of relationships including self awareness, sexuality, peer pressure, and the impact of domestic violence. This project was piloted between April and July this year in direct response to consultation with our young people about areas that affect their life. The project was run on a Friday night as this is when our young people are at greatest risk.
Area demographics indicate significant need in areas of relationships, self esteem and domestic violence which have become more prevalent demonstrated through our work on the streets and findings of our recent pilot.
Data from the Cities Central Community Safety Domestic Violence Prevention Co coordinator suggests that there is a growing number of young people perpetrating domestic violence against their parents and teenage parents are at a greater risk of domestic violence. Speke has the highest teenage pregnancy in Liverpool.
On average Merseyside Police receive 11,500 calls in relation to Domestic Violence each year. National research by Women's aid in relation to teenage domestic violence reports 1 in 5 girls 15 and under has experienced domestic violence from someone they were dating. It also states that one quarter of 14 year olds have been forced to have sex or perform a sexual act by someone they were dating. There are no services addressing this need in Liverpool.

Five deposits of volcanic ash have been located and sampled in Pratt County. The thickest of these (pictured) has 14 feet of volcanic ash is exposed in a pit.

Have you ever rolled around in the dirt just because it’s there? Ever wonder where that dirt came from? Me too!
Greetings. I’m Russ Dale, a transplant to the Gateway to the High Plains from Denver, Colorado. I’m the new guy at the Pratt Tribune. I’m also new to Pratt, but “from” Pratt in a cosmic sense, as my great-great grandfather Whitney Bailey arrived in the county in 1887 at the age of 15. He was a wheat farmer in McPherson and Saratoga Townships.
I enjoy learning about the past, especially about where I live. I am a history buff who is heavily interested in genealogy and geology. And I roll around in dirt.
I was at the Pratt County Historical Museum one day pouring over historic maps of the county. Wallowing in a pile of old maps is how I roll. Pratt County landmarks like Skunk Johnson’s Cave, Pilot Knob and Arrowhead Hill made my imagination whirl. Fascinating.
Then something called “Volcanic Ash Pit” caught my curiosity. The tiny drawing on this aged 100-year-old map was akin to a modern orbital satellite photo of the fictional Sarlacc pit, the Great Pit of Carkoon, in “Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi!” A nerdy rock hound from Colorado, a geologic paradise in its own right, I am in love with rocks and the stories they tell. And, being a dirt flounderer, I immediately knew I needed to find out more about this pit. Who doesn’t like to visit pits? Pits are exciting. Pits are amazing. If I had a nickel for ever pit I’ve visited I would have a gaggle of nickels.
I scoured over satellite imagery of Pratt County in search of the pit. I searched the internets. I spoke with local old-timers. I became obsessed with this mysterious oddity.
A friend of a cousin’s cousin made me privy to an enigmatic area called the “silica pit,” a place in the county where generations of children played in the dirt. Corroborating this first-hand knowledge with information gleaned from a 1973 Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin #205 and a thesis about the “chemical fingerprinting” of volcanic tephra found in Kansas by Brian T. David of Kansas State University, I was pointed to what I believed was the “Volcanic Ash Pit.”
I went there. All of my pit dreams came true.
My eyes did behold the majesty of the “Volcanic Ash Pit!” It was an old pit with layers of volcanic ash 14 feet thick along the walls! The ash, essentially fine shards of white to grey glass spewed from a volcano, was once excavated from the site and used in concrete for roads. Others uses for “silica” included soaking up blood at meat packing plants and in bathroom cleansers. Long abandoned, this pit was now just a hole in the ground inhabited by animals and plants.
Where did this “dirt” come from? The ash, from an erupting volcano, was carried by winds over Kansas many years ago and settled to the ground. Streams washed the ash into shallow depressions.
Could this Pearlette ash bed be Lava Creek B Tuff of the Yellowstone Caldera, the last major eruption from the Yellowstone volcanic center 640,000 years ago? Was it derived from the explosion of Valle Grande Caldera supervolcano in north-central New Mexico roughly 1.2 million years ago? That was a time when humans were an endangered species! I am filled with questions.
The debate is still out on the origin of the ash and where it fits on the geologic time scale. Regardless of its origin, it is a superb geologic site. Especially for Kansas. It is doubly superb it exists in Pratt County Kansas.
My mission complete and personal dirt quota satisfied, I prepared for another learning adventure into the surrounding area in which my ancestors, and myself, call home.
