# Nantgarw (Low Level) Halt railway station

Nantgarw (Low Level) Halt railway station was a halt on the now-disused Cardiff Railway.

## History

The halt opened along with the line in 1911. It was named Nantgarw Halt, even though there was already a halt with this name on the Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Newport Railway, which had opened in 1904.
After the Great Western Railway took over the line in the 1920s, the halt was renamed Nantgarw (Low Level) Halt to distinguish it from the PC&NR station in 1924. An additional platform was opened on the down side of the line in 1928, and a passing loop was added at the same time. Despite these modifications, the halt closed to all traffic in 1931.

## After closure

The footpaths and one nameboard remained in 1957, but these traces of the halt are long gone. The line, slightly modified to serve Nantgarw Colliery lasted in use until the 1980s. The whole site of the station (and much else) is now covered by a business park.

# Semyon Chelyuskin

Semyon Ivanovich Chelyuskin (Russian: Семён Иванович Челюскин; c. 1707 – 1764) was a Russian polar explorer and naval officer.
Chelyuskin graduated from the Navigation School in Moscow. He first became a deputy navigator while serving in the Baltic Fleet (1728) and later promoted to navigator (1733). Chelyuskin was chosen for the Second (Great Northern) Kamchatka Expedition, in which he took part until 1743. He participated in expeditions, led by Vasily Pronchischev and Khariton Laptev. In spring of 1741, Chelyuskin made a voyage from the Khatanga River to the Pyasina River by land. He described the western coastline from the Taimyr Peninsula to the Middendorff Bay and then from the mouth of Pyasina to the mouth of the Yenisei River. In winter of 1741–1742, he traveled from Turukhansk to the mouth of the Khatanga River, describing the northern coastline of the Taimyr Peninsula from the Faddey Bay on the East to the mouth of the Taimyra River on the West. Chelyuskin found the northern extremity of Asia, which Aleksandr Fyodorovich Middendorf would later name after him in 1843 (Cape Chelyuskin).
He was discharged from the Baltic Fleet in the rank of a captain in 1760.

## Named in honor

Cape Chelyuskin (the northernmost cape of Eurasia), Chelyuskin Peninsula (northern tip of Taymyr), Chelyuskin Island near Taymyr, famous Soviet Chelyuskin steamship and some streets and settlements have been named after Chelyuskin.
In 1930s the Soviet Union operated a steamship built in Denmark in 1933, SS Chelyuskin, named after Semion Chelyuskin. It sank in the Chukchi Sea near Kolyuchin Island during an ill-fated attempt to cover the Northern Sea Route.

# Indiana Wants Me

"Indiana Wants Me" is a song written, composed, and originally recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter R. Dean Taylor. It was released on the Rare Earth label, a subsidiary of Motown Records, in 1970, and was a top ten hit in both the US and UK. In Cashbox magazine, the single hit #1. The song spent two weeks at #2 in Canada.
The song is written from the viewpoint of someone who has killed a man out of defending his wife's honor; he is missing his family and hiding from the police, who eventually catch up with him. Taylor wrote and composed the song after watching the movie Bonnie and Clyde. In addition to writing, composing, and originally recording the selection, Taylor produced the record and arranged it in collaboration with David Van De Pitte. It was released on the Rare Earth label, formed by Motown in an attempt to establish itself in the rock music market. The police siren sounds at the start of the record were removed from some copies supplied to radio stations after complaints that drivers hearing the song on the radio had mistakenly pulled over, thinking that the sounds were real.
The sirens are also heard during the instrumental section in the middle of the song. At the climax of the song, soon after the narrator has sung, "Red lights are flashin' around me,/ Yeah, love, it looks like they found me," and the chorus, a voice on a bullhorn is heard, commanding: "This is the police. Give yourself up. You are surrounded." The sound of gunfire ensues, implying the narrator declines to surrender and instead perishes in a shootout with the police. An alternate version of the song fades out at the end without the gunfire.
The record became Taylor's only hit as a performer in the US, where it rose to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and to #1 on Cashbox in late 1970. Taylor appeared on the TV show American Bandstand to promote the record. In the UK, where Taylor had had an earlier hit with "Gotta See Jane", it also became his biggest hit, reaching #2 in May 1971.
