Ecovolis program has proven successful in dramatically increasing bicycle use in Tirana, which, formerly, was a city without a developed bicycle culture. Ecovolis program is the first project in Albania that provides low-income adults with commuter bicycles as well as a donating program for children bicycles. The program recently completed two major steps, opening new bike stations in the city of Durrës and integrating Tourist Information Point Service to the bicycles stations' structure.
History
The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. Another portion was set aside to donate to children and to activists and volunteers at PASS. Still another portion were diverted to the project's Eco Bicycle Shop, a social enterprise which sells bikes for USD 50-150 and reinvests profits for the service and maintenance of Ecovolis bicycles. The main objective of the program was to introduce the community to an inexpensive, environmental friendly form of transport -- the bicycle; to sell used bikes at low prices; to donate bikes to the children of needy families and to PASS volunteers; to establish a bike sharing-scheme in the city (Ecovolis); and to employ financially disadvantaged people and young students to operate the bike-sharing scheme.
System
Each Ecovolis station is staffed by two employees in two shifts and contains 30 -- 60 bicycles. In order to use the bicycles it is required to provide a personal identification document (such as passport or ID card) or by subscribing to the Ecovolis membership Card.
The first black and red bicycles, (also the colors of the Albanian flag) were donated from US-organization Pedal for Progress, (which collect and donate used bicycles). As these bicycles were of different types, converting them for safe and comfortable public use took months of work. The price per bicycle varies from 60 US$ to 90 US$ each. The bicycle is equipped with a front bicycle basket, a behind carrier, a comfortable saddle and a public fender with the Ecovolis sign.
The bicycle stations also provide touristic information to the visitors and a list of the city attractions. Moreover, being a non-profit social enterprise, during particular days the program offers free bicycle service, cycling courses, donations of bicycles and helmets for children in need, bike tours and a bicycle recycle program.

Pentax Super Program and Cosmicar A 28/2.8. The corners are dark from the hood I used, which I normally use on a Pentax DA35/2.4 on APS-C. I just recently bought this camera and lens, the film was included with the lot, Fujicolor 200. The film is not dated it could be pretty old. It is color film but I thought a black and white conversion would be natural.

WHEN: Sunday, Sept. 14
WHERE: Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption, 615 Hoyt Ave., Saginaw
SAGINAW —The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, commissioned 16 new members of the Lay Ministry Program on Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption in Saginaw. The Lay Ministry Program offers deep spiritual, theological and pastoral formation for lay people so that they may be even more effective in carrying out the lay apostolate and evangelization. Lay ministry formation involves four years of learning, spiritual formation and pastoral practice before each candidate is commissioned by the bishop for parish-based lay ministry or missioned by the bishop as a “Christian in the World.” The newly-commissioned lay ministers join more than 350 other lay ministers actively involved in service across the Diocese of Saginaw. Below is a list of those commissioned at Mass on Sept. 14:
• Thomas Collins from Nativity of the Lord Parish, Alma/St. Louis
• James Combs from St. Athanasius Parish, Harrison
• Margaret Lapham from Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, Mount Pleasant
• Constance Lynch from St. Joseph the Worker Parish, Beal City
• Alex Malocha from Holy Family Parish, Saginaw
• Deborah McGraw from Our Lady of Grace Parish, Sanford
• Cheryl Morand from All Saints Parish, Bay City
• Kathy Ranck from Our Lady of Grace Parish, Sanford
• Catherine Richard from Blessed Sacrament Parish, Midland
• Mary Roth from Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish, Bay City
• Cindy Sisson from Christ the Good Shepherd Parish, Saginaw
• Dale Sisson from Christ the Good Shepherd Parish, Saginaw
• Ulrike Smith from St. Stephen Parish, Saginaw
• Mary Beth Stuart from Our Lady of Grace Parish, Sanford
• Michael Thomas from Our Lady of Grace Parish, Sanford
Mary Sue Plachta was missioned at the Mass and sent forth to live out her ministry “in the world” rather than in a parish setting. She is a member of Our Lady of Grace in Sanford. Several Lay Ministers were re-commissioned at the Mass, which means that each made a new multi-year commitment with his or her respective, sponsoring parish. Those interested in learning more about the Lay Ministry Program may call 989-797-6609.

Con una competencia de interescuelas en la que intervinieron 200 de los 4 mil niños que participaron en las clases de natación que impartió la Casa del Deporte, fue clausurado el Programa de Actividades Acuáticas 2012.
La actividad se desarrolló en el Complejo Municipal de Nueva Aurora y fue encabezada por la alcaldesa Virginia Reginato, quien junto a los padres y apoderados pudieron apreciar el estado de avance experimentado por los menores, en los cuatro estilos existentes en la natación, espalda, pecho, mariposa y crol.
En la oportunidad la jefa comunal viñamarina señaló la importancia que tiene para ella este programa que en los últimos 7 años ha beneficiado a más de 35 mil personas.
“Ya han sido muchos los menores y adultos que han aprendido a nadar o a hacer actividades como hidrogimnasia, lo que me satisface enormemente. Es muy importante que nuestros niños y adultos sepan nadar y que además puedan disfrutar en el verano de las piscinas que tenemos en diversos sectores de la comuna”, dijo la alcaldesa Virginia Reginato.
En el Programa de Actividades Acuáticas 2012, tomaron parte más de 4 mil personas las que disfrutaron recreativamente de las piscinas de Forestal, Nueva Aurora, Gómez Carreño, Villa Dulce y Reñaca Alto.
