They're Burning down the Churches.

 

Canada Day July 1st 2021, The traditional proud and celebratory Canadian national holiday, aka Canada Day, has been interrupted this year by a disturbing string of violent acts and massive property destruction.

And the list is growing..

No offer as yet by the NDP Liberal Government to help rebuild the burned Christian churches nor any sincere attempt by them to apprehend and charge the perpetrator(s) ?

A new study reveals that arson attacks on Canadian churches have more than doubled since 2021, with most cases linked to public reaction over reports of unmarked graves at former residential schools-not anti-religious sentiment. Despite nearly 100 churches damaged or destroyed, fewer than 4% of arsonists have been charged, leaving communities searching for answers and healing. www.facebook.com/100069681242082/posts/978055547860478/?_rdr

  

Although the vast majority of residents in cities across Canada like Halifax, Montreal, Victoria, Hamilton and Calgary had wanted to just simply retain their history by just leaving local statues and artifacts alone, unfortunately, these historical artifacts were shown total disrespect and disregard when either destroyed by lawless vigilante mobs while police stood by and watched, or else hastily torn down and then hidden away by order of local Mayors and council without public consultation or permission ? Many other historic Statues such as Queen Elizabeth ll, Queen Victoria, and even Captain Cook were also mutilated or torn down by lawless vigilante mobs ?

Beggarwood Park is a public park which consists of open chalk grassland surrounded by a belt of mature ancient woodland to the north and eastern boundaries, part of which can be seen on the other side of the park. Before the housing development this was a arable field belonging to either Hatch Warren Farm or Kennel Farm.

 

A ancient woodland that fringes the park can only be called ancient if the site has been continually wooded since 1600. These areas are irreplaceable and as a result the woodland has been designated as a 'Site of Importance for Nature Conservation' (SINC). The dominant trees found within this woodland are beech (Fagus sylvatica), oak (Quercus robur) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior), with an understory of hazel (Corylus avellana), dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) and spindle (Euonymus europaea).

 

Evidence of the woodland's ancient origin is indicated by the wildflowers which can be seen growing on the woodland floor in spring. These include sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum), sanicle (Sanicula europaea), and wood anemone (Anemone nemerosa).

 

Bats use the woodland for roosting, foraging and feeding, on addition to a number of birds. The greater spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopus major) can be heard 'drumming' on the trees and nuthatches (Sitta europaea) can be seen scurrying down tree headfirst. Other birds that visit here include chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), great tit (Parus major) and tawny owl (Strix aluco).

 

The park lays within the area of Hatch Warren which is a district and ward of Basingstoke in Hampshire, west of the town centre. Neighbouring housing estates include Kempshott and Brighton Hill.

 

It is primarily served by Brighton Hill Community College (a secondary school) and two junior schools, St Mark's and Hatch Warren.

 

It lies within the Hatch Warren & Beggarwood ward of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

 

Hatch Warren shares a Newsletter, the Rabbiter, with Beggarwood and Kempshott Park, and has a small retail park, which includes a supermarket and a petrol station. It also has one pub which is named 'The Portsmouth Arms.' The Pub was due to open in 1996, but was destroyed by arson. It did however open a year later.

 

Hatch Warren occupies part of the farm which was the home and head office of Rex Paterson, the noted agriculturalist, when it was part of the estate of the Earls of Portsmouth.

 

Beneath here what is now the Hatch Warren estate lie the hidden remains of prehistoric and medieval villages. Excavation of those parts of the settlements which were to be destroyed by housing development was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology, in stages between 1984 and 1987.

 

In the Iron Age (3rd - 1st centuries BC), a small settlement was established. First there was an enclosure surrounded by a shallow ditch. This may have been for keeping livestock as no traces of any buildings were found. If there were any houses these must have been situated outside the area which was excavated.

 

In the 1st century BC a number of ditched enclosures contained the remains of buildings and pits grouped in different areas. Most of the buildings were small and rectangular with just four upright posts set into the ground, one at each corner. These are a familiar find on archaeological sites of this date and are generally thought to have been used for storing grain. Again, no actual houses were found but they must have been close-by as broken cooking pots, tools and small personal items were found. The little farming community seems to have continued to live here until sometime late in the 1st century AD, after the Roman Conquest of AD43, when for unknown reasons the site was abandoned.

 

The remains of the medieval settlement - possibly those of the lost Village of "Hatch" - included a small church built in the 11th-12th century which was surrounded by a wooden fence. At least six timber square and rectangular houses stood nearby. In the 12th - 14th centuries the graveyard was surrounded by two enclosure ditches. At least 240 graves occurred in the graveyard with several more burials inside the Church. One of these graves contained a pewter chalice and paten - religious items which indicate that this was the burial of a priest.

 

The small village served by the church and graveyard grew gradually between the 11th and 14th centuries. It included timber houses with tiled roofs, some surrounded by fences, with pits and possibly hearths, and at least one well and a bread oven.

 

The village economy was based on the keeping of cattle and sheep and the cultivation of wheat, barley, oats and rye. Dogs, cats, geese and horses were also kept and birds such as ducks, partridge and pigeons were tasty additions to the diet. Burnt seeds of raspberry, blackberry, sloe and bullace or damson were found, as well as burnt hazelnuts and catkins which show that woodland fruits and nuts were collected and eaten. Of great interest is the presence of the remains of red and roe deer and of sparrowhawk which suggests some serious hunting in the forest.

 

This apparently peaceful little village seems to have prospered in the 14th century but although the churchyard ditch was given a good spring clean sometime in the later 15th century, the area covered by the settlement seems to have been reduced and some houses were apparently pulled down. By the end of the 15th century the church had been demolished and extensive areas of building rubble were spread across the graveyard. The village was abandoned, and its name and position were lost until the excavations of the 1980s.

A new study reveals that arson attacks on Canadian churches have more than doubled since 2021, with most cases linked to public reaction over reports of unmarked graves at former residential schools-not anti-religious sentiment. Despite nearly 100 churches damaged or destroyed, fewer than 4% of arsonists have been charged, leaving communities searching for answers and healing. www.facebook.com/100069681242082/posts/978055547860478/?_rdr

  

Although the vast majority of residents in cities across Canada like Halifax, Montreal, Victoria, Hamilton and Calgary had wanted to just simply retain their history by just leaving local statues and artifacts alone, unfortunately, these historical artifacts were shown total disrespect and disregard when either destroyed by lawless vigilante mobs while police stood by and watched, or else hastily torn down and then hidden away by order of local Mayors and council without public consultation or permission ? Many other historic Statues such as Queen Elizabeth ll, Queen Victoria, and even Captain Cook were also mutilated or torn down by lawless vigilante mobs ?

  

2011 - A National Household Survey of Statistics Canada, of 1,400,685 persons who self-identified as Aboriginal in private households, 889,315, or 63 percent identified as Christian. Of these, over 500,000 identified as Roman Catholic.

Unfortunately, compensation cannot cover broken plastic parts which are irreplaceable. Luckily, the broken pieces had fallen inside the cabinet. The HMV VA was the last generation of large screen monochrome TV sets designed and made in Australia. This one is ca. 1973. It uses valves for deflection and audio output. The rest is solid state. Valves are: 6CM5 line output, 6AL3 damper, 6JW8 line oscillator, and 6BQ5 audio output.

It was taken earlier this year while Elie and I were attending a free concert at the Kennedy Center. Although we attended the concert with the expressed hope of talking to him, it was an amazing stroke of good fortune that Dr. Taylor gave us an exclusive audience to discuss topics like Billy Strayhorn and jazz in general. A few minutes after I snapped this image, Dr. Taylor was swarmed with fans and important dignitaries vying for his attention. That window of opportunity is one my favorite memories at the KC.

 

To those who understand Billy Taylor's importance in the world of jazz (and music in general), he needs no introduction. But for those who are less familiar with this artistic giant, the overview below should help. Most of you don't need to be reminded that Elie is studying jazz and composition at the Berklee College of Music.

Billy Taylor, one of the musical treasures of Washington and the world, died last night, Dec. 28, at a hospital in New York City. He was 89 and died of a heart attack.

 

Dr. Taylor, as he was known to one and all, was a first-rate jazz pianist who grew up in Washington and was a graduate of Dunbar High School. He moved to New York in the early 1940s and was present at the birth of bebop, the new vernacular of music that transformed jazz. He played alongside Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis and became a protege of the greatest jazz pianist ever, Art Tatum.

 

In the 1950s, Dr. Taylor began to branch out into broadcasting with a television series, "The Subject Is Jazz," and with radio programs. He appeared on CBS over the years, particuarly on "CBS Sunday Morning," interviewing and performing many of the great artists in jazz.

 

Dr. Taylor -- who earned a doctorate in education, by the way -- had been the artistic adviser for jazz programming at the Kennedy Center and was a constant presence at concerts at the center. He often performed with his own trio and other groups and helped make the Kennedy Center one of the most important venues for jazz in America. He launched the annual Women in Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center and was instrumental in developing other concert series.

 

For several years, he was the host of an NPR series, "Billy Taylor's Jazz at the Kennedy Center," and many people considered him the foremost jazz educator of his -- or any -- time.

 

Dr. Taylor received every award there is in jazz and the arts, including the National Medal of Arts in 1992, and was designated a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1988.
