Old description: Please help me locate this photo taken in 1965. I can see 'Monako' on what is presumably a pachinko joint. One of the signs says in Japanese, 'Ginza Building'

The Stranding Response Team released 3 rehabilitated turtles along the shore just north of Neptune’s Park at 31st Street. The rehabilitated turtles were cleared by veterinary staff to be released. Satellite tags will send information via satellite when the turtle basks and can be followed on seaturtle.org. Acoustic tags are part of a project in conjunction with naval biologists that uses an array of receivers in the Chesapeake Bay and coastal ocean to monitor the fine scale movements of sea turtles. Information is not generated in real time and the receivers are checked once a month.
• Wolverine, loggerhead sea turtle
This turtle came to the Virginia Aquarium with the help of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission as it was found floating by a Tangier Island fisherman in July. Upon admission to the Virginia Aquarium Marine Animal Care Center, Wolverine was lethargic, dehydrated and in shock with a crushing blunt force trauma to the head. A CT Scan at Sentara Hospital enabled staff to get a firm visual of the wound and treat it accordingly. Wolverine is outfitted with pit tags (similar to dog/cat microchips), rear flipper tags, a satellite tag and acoustic tag.
• Loki, Kemp’s ridley sea turtle
Also found by a fisherman, Loki came from Kiptopeke State Park in December 2013. This Kemp’s ridley was cold stunned and suffering from pneumonia. His treatment consisted of fluid therapy, medication and a gradually raising of the core body temperature. Loki is outfitted with pit tags, rear flipper tags, a satellite tag and acoustic tag.
• Lex Luther, Kemp’s ridley sea turtle
Hooked by a recreational fisherman at Little Island Pier in Sandbridge on July 30, Lex Luther initially appeared to be in normal body condition and alert. However, upon admission the Stranding Response staff found that he had a large hook in the esophagus. This was removed under sedation at Beach Pet Hospital. Further follow-up treatment was conducted by Stranding Response staff. Lex Luther is outfitted with a pit tag and acoustic tag.

1177 Shard Villa Road, West Salisbury, Vermont USA • Cut stone, 2-1/2 story. French Second Empire style. • Clinton Smith: architect / builder. Built after the early death of Columbus & Harriet's beloved son, William Joseph ("Willie"), in 1881, from meningitis, at age 14.
The Mausoleum now contains the earthly remains of four souls. Columbus (1819-1909); wife Harriet Jones Smith (1833- 1919); daughter Mary Elizabeth Smith (1870-1897); son William James Smith (1867-1881). Alexander B. McDowell (1866-18xx), Elizabeth's husband is not entombed (his birth date is inscribed, but no death date).
On the grounds of The Columbus Smith Estate • Home grown attorney Columbus Smith’s first great success was started in 1844, on behalf of the descendants of Frances Mary Shard, who died in England in 1819. His eventual win in 1858, after 14 years of research, multiple trips to England, legal filings, appearances & multiple appeals made him one of the richest men in Vermont. He would soon build and name his own estate after a women he never met.
He moved his ancestral home a bit to the north, and assembled an amazing team to build his mansion and grounds, from 1872-74: [1] the plan was based on “Design No. 19", in his copy of the 1869 pattern book “National Architect” by George E. Woodward; [2] the first plans were drawn by Warren Thayer, architect, Burlington, VT, and turned over to: [3] George & Clinton Smith (father & son) to detail the plans inside and out, and be the builders (at the time called “joiners”); [4] Robert Morris Copeland, Boston, MA (landscape architect - then called “landscape gardener”); and [5] in 1886-87, he brought Italian Muralist Sylvio Pezzoli to live in the Estate, while painting walls, ceilings, floors. screens and portraits.
Columbus's widow, Harriet, upon her death in 1919, willed the estate and fortune to become that we call today an Elder Care Home. A 2-1/2 story brick addition, with 14 rooms with private baths opened in 1922.
The Estate has been on the National Register of Historic Places (#89001789), since 1989.
