the court below erred in entering either or both of the judgments on the ground that it was without jurisdiction. Further, that the restraining order deprives the appellant of his freedom of speech in that it eliminates his right to visit or speak to his children; that it deprives him of his right of due process; and such restraining order is, therefore, violative of the respective provisions of both the State and Federal Constitutions.

Comments Off on Roads and Deforestation Explode in Congo Basin

Logging roads are expanding dramatically in the Congo Basin, leading to catastrophic collapses in animal populations living in the world’s second-largest rainforest, according to research co-led by a scientist at James Cook University in Australia.

Just as worrying is that the rate of forest destruction caused by new roads in the Congo Basin has risen sharply over time, quadrupling since 2000.

“The situation in the Congo Basin is scary on top of more scariness,” said Professor Bill Laurance, who has worked in Africa for 15 years. “New roads are opening a Pandora’s box of activities such as illegal deforestation, mining, poaching and land speculation.”

Laurance helped lead an international team that exhaustively mapped all roads in


Some effects of sex-linked clothing and gender schema on the stereotyping of infants.
Two predictions were evaluated: first, that given minimal information about an infant, individuals would use sex-related cues (i.e., clothing) to categorize, evaluate, and make attributions about the infant, and second, that gender schematic individuals would be more likely than gender aschematic individuals to use such sex-related cues. On the basis of the Bem Sex Role Inventory, American college students were classified as either gender schematic (masculine or feminine) or gender aschematic (undifferentiated or androgynous). The students categorized, evaluated, and made trait attributions about an infant dressed in male, female, or ambiguous clothing. Both gender schematic and gender aschematic individuals relied on sex-related cues in their perceptions of the infant.This report provides information about police-related activities of the SPMU, as well as other cross-dimensional police-related activities of other thematic units in the Secretariat and OSCE Institutions.

Liquid Water Found Flowing On Mars? Not Yet

Date:

March 2, 2008

Source:

University of Arizona

Summary:

Liquid water has not been found on the Martian surface within the last decade after all, according to new research. The finding casts doubt on the 2006 report that the bright spots in some Martian gullies indicate that liquid water flowed there sometime since 1999. The researchers took advantage of the detailed topographic data derived from images of Mars taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The image on the left is a portion of a High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment image showing a bright streak in a gully on the side of a crater in the Centauri Montes region of Mars. The twowould look similar to that from a dry avalanche.

The team's research article, "Recent bright gully deposits on Mars: wet or dry flow?" is being published in the March issue of Geology. Pelletier and McEwen's co-authors are Kelly J. Kolb, a UA doctoral candidate, and Randy L. Kirk of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona. NASA funded the research.

Background

In December 2006, Michael Malin and his colleagues published an article in the journal Science suggesting the bright streaks that formed in two Martian gullies since 1999 "suggest that liquid water flowed on the surface of Mars during the past decade."

Malin's team used images taken by the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) of gullies that had formed before 1999. Repeat images taken of the gullies in 2006 showed

United accommodating the Grand Final —with all the Super League ballyhoo that entails, including British indie band The Charlatans playing during the interval — will certainly succeed in drawing attention away from the England team.

Yet that termination only followed Warner being banished from football.


coupled to the rotor through a gearbox. The gearbox steps up the inherently low rotational speed of the turbine rotor for the generator to efficiently convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, which is fed into a utility grid.
Wind turbines including direct drive generators eliminate the gearbox, and reliability problems associated with the gearboxes. However, in at least some known geared wind turbines, both the generator and main bearings may prematurely fail. Because the direct drive generator bearings also function as the main bearings of the wind turbine, a means to readily replace the bearings is needed. To facilitate replacement of such bearings, at least one known direct drive wind turbine utilizes a single large-diameter bearing with a bolt-on flange.

The traditional State of the Union address is also in limbo over the shutdown.

Here is a brief timeline of what has happened throughout the weeks-long shutdown.

Jan. 25 – Trump announces deal to open government

Trump said he would support a short-term spending bill to re-open the government, temporarily ending the partial government shutdown, despite saying a day earlier that Republicans would not "cave" on demands for the border wall.

The deal would keep the government open for three weeks, and a bill will go to the Senate immediately, Trump said. He made reference to his previous threats to declare a national emergency, calling it a "very powerful weapon," but saying he didn't want to use it. The deal appeared to includeno money for a wall or steel barrier, but he said he hoped negotiations would continue to come to an agreement on wall funding.

Trump thanks federal workers who haven't been receiving a paycheck and promised they'd get their money "very quickly."

Jan. 23 – The state of the State of the Union

After some back and forth between Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the president decided to postpone the State of the Union until after the shutdown is over. Pelosi had already told Trump the House would not approve a resolution allowing him to come to Capitol Hill to give the annual address until the government reopens.

"As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed," Trump said in


mark, Trump floated an immigration compromise to Democrats to reopen the government. He said he was prepared to back a three-year extension of protections for the nearly 800,000 immigrants who entered the country illegally and shielded from deportation under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The deal would also extend protections for the 300,000 recipients of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.

This would be in exchange for the $5.7 billion he's demanded for a border wall.

The proposal was quickly dismissed by Democrats, including Pelosi who said called the proposal a "non-starter" even before Trump's weekend speech.

Jan. 17 – Trump benches Pelosi

Trump abruptly canceled a planned foreign trip Pelosi was to take just minutes before the congressional delegation was set to depart. In a curt letter, Trumpshutdown continues.

STATE OF THE UNION HISTORY, RECORDS AND OTHER FUN FACTS

Trump is scheduled to give the traditional address on Jan. 29.

Jan. 12 – Shutdown breaks record

On Jan. 12, the government had been partially shuttered for 22 days, breaking the record for the longest in history.

Previously, the longest shutdown was 21 days, occurring during President Bill Clinton's administration from December 1995 to January 1996.

Jan. 10 – Trump travels to the southern border

In a continued push for the wall, Trump traveled to the southern border on Jan. 10. He escalated warnings that he could circumvent Congress and declare a national emergency to get his wall built if a deal can’t be made.

Jan. 9 – Trump walks out of meeting with Democrats

Pelosi again rejected a plan to include Trump’s requested funding


Mitch McConnell said he will refuse to “take up any proposal that does not have a real chance of passing this chamber and getting a presidential signature.”

Dec. 31 – Federal workers union files lawsuit

The American Federation of Government Employees filed a lawsuit against the federal government on Dec. 31, alleging workers who earned overtime have not been paid on time amid the shutdown and are entitled to liquidated damages.

The law firm representing the union won a similar case during the 2013 government shutdown.

Dec. 22 – Partial government shutdown triggered

Without a spending deal, the government partially shuttered at midnight on Dec. 22. Only about a quarter of the government was affected by the shutdown, including nine Cabinet-level departments.

Metropolis follows two previous versions of ethereum, ‘Homestead‘ (released last March) and ‘Frontier‘, which debuted in July 2015.

Buterin said today that those efforts are accelerating.

to many who partake.
In 1931, a man working on the
excavation of the tunnel used the
construction as an opportunity
to murder his pregnant 17-yearold girlfriend, Phyllis Symonds.
Underground History, a blog
dedicated to the stories of those
buried in Karori Cemetery,
provides a detailed account of
the tragic event.
George Coats, a seaman who
found temporary employment
with the relief work parties
during the Great Depression,
was working the site outside the
tunnel, where all the material
excavated was dumped.
Twenty-nine-year-old George
and young Phyllis, who met
when she served tea to his
party at an earlier work site in
the Aro Valley, were living in a
rooming house on Adelaide Rd,
struggling to get by.
Near the end of June 1931
Phyllis disappeared.

George had lost his job at the
excavation site by this time, but
was later seen digging around.
While he said he had to bury
a dog, police were suspicious,
immediately arresting himand
beginning a massive search for
Phyllis.
After three days of over 100
men sifting through an estimated 2000 tons of excavated
material, they came upon Phyllis’s body, face down with her
head wrapped in a scarf.
A pathologist speculated she
had been forced to kneel before
her lover hit her over the head
with the shovel, knocking her
unconscious into the hole.
She died of asphyxiation after
being buried.
George insisted she committed suicide, jumping to her
death, and he had buried her out
of fear, but he was found guilty
and sentenced to hanging on
November 12, 1931.
He was hanged on December
17, 1931 at Mt Crawford Prison
in Miramar, one of four hanged
there in the early 1930s.
Today, thousands of cars pass

African fashion taking
Wellington by storm
Wellington is hosting its first
ever African Fashion Festival on
Saturday May 28.
Six internationally known African
designers and two New Zealand
based emerging African designers
will be featured at the festival, each
showing collections to more than
300 guests.
Africa Design Journey through
AustralAsia, or ADJOAA, a social
impact enterprise dedicated to
economic and social development
through fashion across Africa, hosts
the festival.
Pinaman Owusu-Banahene, who
founded ADJOAA


in 2011, has
organised the festival to show all
New Zealanders the incredible
artistry of the African continent.
“I hope the Africa Fashion Festi-

val provides an outlet for all New
Zealanders to experience the cultural richness and incredible artistic
talent from the diverse and vibrant
continent of Africa,” Pinaman said.
She also hopes first and second
generation Africans will attend the
festival and connect with, embrace
and share their culture.
Festival organizers hope that the
event will serve both participants
and attendees by promoting and
highlighting the African creative
industry while providing a new
experience for Wellingtonians.
The festival will support three
social initiatives- a mentoring
programme for young Africans
in New Zealand to encourage
engagement in their communities,
a year internship for three design

graduates with ADJOAA and one
of the participating designers, and
support for education in Africa
through a book club programme
with schools in the countries of the
participating designers.
Pinaman believes this socialcase, just leave your name and number and
we’ll call you back.

speaking trainer. When Brett joined a


Toastmasters club he
did not imagine that public speaking would provide him with
a way of turning his unusual talent of imitating famous voices

into a full-time career as a corporate speaker and entertainer.
In 2010, Robin Grieve was one of the nine finalists in the
World Championship contest, although he was unplaced.
In 2011, Kingi Biddle repeated Robin’s achievement as a
World Championship finalist, but was also unplaced.
In 2013, Kingi Biddle was runner-up to the World Champion.
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach
teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders
must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams
and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program.
Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech.

On the southwest corner of Central Park West and 106th Street in New York City, there’s an enormous castle. It takes up the whole east end of the block, with its red brick cylindrical turrets topped with gleaming silver cones. The stained glass windows and intricate stonework make the building look like something out of a fairytale.

This building’s past, however, is not very fairytale-like at all.

When it was built in 1887, this castle was the country’s first hospital devoted solely to the treatment of cancer. In the late 1800s, cancer was known to start as a tumor, but doctors didn’t know a whole lot beyond that.

In the back of the castle, was crematorium and a smokestack which was smoking pretty often.

In the late 1800s, a lot of hospitalsin 1874 that hospital decided not to admit patients with cancer, because, for all they knew, cancer was fatally contagious. In 1887 Sims and a number of philanthropists established the first hospital exclusively devoted to cancer care: the castle at 455 Central Park West.

The building’s fairytale appearance, it turns out, wasn’t unusual for hospitals of the time. These facilities were built like aristocratic mansions, with high walls, gatehouses, elaborate entries, and sometimes turrets, as a way of enticing wealthy patients.

In the late 1800s, hospitals were charitable institutions run by philanthropists, where poor people went for care. The wealthy mostly received care at home. Architect Charles Haight hoped the luxurious design of the New York Cancer Hospital would be a lure for paying customers.

The big, round turrets that make


wall and the floor.

455 Central Park West went through a really dark period in the mid-1950s, when it became a notoriously roach infested, abusive nursing home. Towers Nursing Home was shut down in the 1970s and the building sat vacant and in state of disrepair throughout the 1980s.

Today, in 21st century Manhattan, even a haunted old hospital can become expensive housing. 455 Central Park West has been turned into seventeen round, light-filled condo units, complete with a parking garage, a spa, a pool, and a fitness center. Finally, after a hundred years of imitating upscale real estate, the castle on the park finally is actually what its always wanted to be: a nice place for rich people.school vouchers came into being nearly 140 years ago in Vermont and Maine, but not how we know them today. In 1955, economist Milton Friedman brought them into the national spotlight in a paper titled, “The Role of Government in Education.” The whole plan was a way to fund private schools and tuitions with taxpayer dollars. Though the program introduced by Friedman gained little steam at the time, the ideas sat around the Republican Party think tanks for some time, and starting in 1989, the idea started to take off.

In 2012 Louisiana Republican Governor Bobby Jindal introduced legislation allowing parents to use vouchers to send their children to private schools. These vouchers work something like scholarships where poor students may be taken out of the “failing” public school


proper scientific education in the US, found that in more than 300 voucher schools teaching biblical creation, some are even going so far as to teach young earth creationism—the belief that the earth is only 6,000 to 10,000 years old.

Despite its failures, the Republican Party has been able to sell vouchers as saving taxpayers’ money while also giving them a choice in their children’s education. The idea has become a rallying cry of the Tea Party members and Libertarians inside the Republican Party. Libertarians see this as a step toward the privatization of education, removing government from the equation completely, and putting your child’s education on the free market. Former New Mexico governor and 2012 presidential candidate Gary Johnson was known for his voucher program launch for childcarehydro. This is where excess electricity generated during off-peak periods – for instance by wind and solar in the middle of the day – is used to pump water from a low to a high reservoir. During peak periods, the water is then released from the upper reservoir and flows through a turbine, generating electricity.

Pumped storage is well established and can even be found on the Tumut River as part of the Snowy Mountains hydroelectric scheme. Although SA has negligible potential for hydro based on rivers, it appears to have considerable potential for pumping seawater up into many small reservoirs in coastal hills. A research group, led by Andrew Blakers at ANU and funded by ARENA, is investigating this.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been given the all-clear to play for defending champions Germany at the FIFA 2018 World Cup.

Neuer underwent his final MRI scan less than 24 hours after making his long-awaited comeback in Saturday's World Cup warm-up defeat to Austria. The 32-year-old will now travel to Russia as Germany's No.1.

"You couldn't tell that he'd been out for so long," said Germany head coach Joachim Löw after Neuer, whose performance against Austria belied a near nine-month absence through injury. "It was a fantastic comeback. He played very well and made two or three brilliant saves. It was hugely satisfying."

The game in Klagenfurt was Neuer's third appearance of the week, following welcome run-outs in behind-closed-doors friendlies against and then between the posts for the Germany U20s.

MarioGomez came off the bench against Austria and could not speak highly enough of his former Bayern team-mate's return to fitness and form.

"It's fascinating to see his fitness and body language so strong after being out for eight months," Gomez said. "I'm really happy for him because I know how much he's done for this comeback. He's our captain, our most important player, and therefore I'm really happy."

Neuer's participation at this summer's World Cup hung in the balance for much of the recently ended domestic campaign. The former Schalke custodian had amassed just 360 minutes of competitive football before being sidelined by a second metatarsal fracture in the space of six months last September, but already appears to be nearing his world-beating best.

"I've been able to watch Manu


in training for the last 10 days," said Germany midfielder Sami Khedira. "For me, he looks 100 percent fit. We're really happy that he's back with the team."

Neuer's timely return will come as music to the ears of Löw, who last week confirmed that the Germany captain would travel to the finals as his No.1 or not at all.

Germany, who face Saudi Arabia in a friendly on 8 June, begin their World Cup campaign against Mexico in Moscow on 17 June. Sweden and South Korea complete Group F.

The Argentine was speaking to BT Sport.

"I think we played 30 minutes really, really well. We started the game compact, aggressive, pressing high, we dominated the first 30 minutes. It was unlucky we conceded at the end of the first half in the last minute.

Of course, after that they were very clinical, there's not much difference in amounts of shots but they were very clinical. After we scored the penalty it was 4-2, then we had some chances to score the third but from minutes 83-88 we conceded three more goals and it's a tough

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. - Police have arrested a 19-year-old Skagit County man who threatened on Facebook to "shoot up every school within a 100-mile radius" if his gun rights were taken away after the Connecticut school massacre.

Authorities had been looking for the man, identified as Korry Martinson, 19, since Friday at about 7:20 p.m., after he allegedly posted the threat on his Facebook page, police said.

The threat was seen by several people, who reported it to the Sedro-Woolley police and the Skagit County Sheriff's Office.

Martinson's mother also was contacted by several callers. When she confronted her son about the posting, he got into an argument with her and took off before police arrived at his home.

TORONTO — The Canadian Football League is saddened to learn of the passing of Hall of Fame coach Don Matthews who passed away today at the age of 77.

Known to many as simply ‘The Don’, Matthews ushered a new era of coaching into the CFL, retiring as the league’s winningest coach with a record of 231-132-1 in a career that spanned over four decades.

He currently sits behind just Wally Buono as the coach with the most career wins after Buono broke his record in 2009.

A 5-time Grey Cup Champion, Matthews was named CFL Coach of the Year an incredible five times before being inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

Matthews’ fingerprints are all over the CFL as someone who has helped groom some of themost accomplished coaching prodigies who continue to lead teams both on the sidelines and in the front office.

Matthews got his CFL start in 1977 as a linebackers coach with the Edmonton Eskimos. He served as Defensive Coordinator in Edmonton until he took his first head coaching position with the BC Lions from 1983 to 1987 where he led the Lions to a Grey Cup in 1985.

In a statement issued by the CFL, Chair of the League’s Board of Governors, Jim Lawson, said:

“Upon hearing of the passing of Don Matthews, the Canadian Football League family is both deeply saddened by this loss and grateful for his many contributions to our league. The Don, as he was known, was one of a kind. He was a leader for so many


of our greatest players and teams. He was a mentor to many of our current coaches. He was a charismatic star that loved to spar with the media at the same time he commanded the spotlight. The record book is filled with his accomplishments. He won five Grey Cups as a head coach, with Toronto (2), Montreal, Baltimore and British Columbia. That ties him for the most ever, with three other legends (Wally Buono, Frank Clair and Hugh Campbell). He was a head coach in nine Grey Cups in total, tying him for the most ever. He won five more Grey Cup rings as a defensive coordinator, all with Edmonton. He won 231 regular season games as a head coach, which made him the winningest coach in CFLhistory until his total was eclipsed just a few years ago. His defences and his teams inevitably took on his persona: they were bold, brash, confident. And like him, they were winners. A Canadian Football Hall of Famer, Don Matthews had style and swagger and a passion for life as well as football, and the CFL was more colourful, more compelling and simply better because he was part of it. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, all those who knew him and loved him, and the countless fans who will long remember him”.

Matthews’ fingerprints are all over the CFL as someone who has helped groom some of the most accomplished coaching prodigies who continue to lead teams both on the sidelines and in the front office.

After a one-year stop in Toronto in 1990 and a three-year stint in Regina, Matthews went on to take a job with the expansion Baltimore Stallions where he promptly led the CFL’s most successful US franchise to consecutive Grey Cups, winning the second one in 1995 before the team moved to Montreal.

Below is the montage from Matthews’ induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2011:

In 1996, Matthews took over the Toronto Argonauts sidelines where he led one of themany friends and fans across the country. We mourn his passing, but we celebrate his life. We will be forever grateful for the memories he has given us.”

Jim Popp spent the majority of his time in Baltimore and Montreal with Matthews. Now as the general manager of another on of Matthews’ old squads — the Toronto Argonauts — Popp understands that the CFL coaching ranks is still being influenced by ‘The Don’.

“Coach was a true friend,” Popp, who first crossed paths with Matthews with the Baltimore Stallions in 1994, where they first teamed up to win the Grey Cup in 1995, before replicating that feat in 2002 in Montreal. “We loved each other and we believed in each other. In my 26 years in the CFL, Don gave


under his watch from 2002-2006. A record of 58-28 over that span contributed to a Grey Cup in 2002, three appearances in the championship game and a first place finish in every year but one.

Matthews retired from coaching in 2008 after spending the second half of the campaign with the Toronto Argonauts.

At the Pitch Day event, each of the grant recipients will step up to the mound and publicly demonstrate the progress they’ve made since receiving their grants. The new technologies range from life science and medical devices to software and consumer products.

TCIP was created by the Utah legislature in 2011 to assist universities in bringing their technologies from the development process to the commercial market. In 2014, the legislature opened the program to small businesses as a means to further accelerate economic development in the state. In 2015, the GOED Board recommended TCIP grant awards of $1,297,000 across 19 projects.

The city of Chicago had seen a large reduction in murders and shootings for the first four months of 2018, but as temperatures have increased, so has crime.

The Chicago Police Department recorded that at least 74 people were shot in the country's third-largest city, with 28 of those shootings occurring between Friday evening and Sunday morning. Two men in their 20s were shot outside an East Garfield Park building just hours after two other people were shot on the exact same block Sunday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Police had previously been hopeful that gun violence was on a downward trend after seeing more than 1,400 total homicides between 2016 and 2017. The city's shooting victims are predominately on the city's south and west sides.

Two men were killed and at least 16 people were wounded in shootings on Saturday alone. Two women were shot outside of Mount Sinai Hospital while waiting for news on the condition of a relative shot earlier that morning.

While police have noted that many of the dozens of shootings this week appear to be gang-related, the majority of victims are under 30 including several teenagers and a 12-year-old boy on the city's Westside. Additionally, a 4-year-old girl was shot in the shoulder Tuesday as she sat with her parents on the family's South Side porch. A 15-year-old boy was struck in the head by a bullet Wednesday afternoon as he rode a city bus home from school. The boy is listed in stable condition


University of Chicago Crime Lab. April was the 14th consecutive month in which the city saw a year-over-year decline in gun violence incidents, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told reporters.

Chicago recorded 721 people being shot in 2018 through April 29, which was 319 fewer than 2017. But homicides and gun violence historically peak in summer, warmer months. April was the fourth-coldest on record this year but rising temperatures over the past week were reflected in the spike in gun violence.

In 2017, there were 1,040 shootings across the city of Chicago and 2016 saw the most shootings of the past seven years with 1,115 recorded shooting victims.

D REAMLAND PARK

Dreamland Park was a small amusement park located on Pricetown Road in Ruscombmanor Township, Pennsylvania. It closed in the 1950s, although remains of the park still exist. The park, which was a short drive from Reading, was operated by Ralph Kreitz, a man who ran many illegal gaming establishments in the 30s and 40s.

Dreamland Park was very small and only featured a band theater, a roller rink, a midget car race track, a few rides and picnic groves. More important to the locals were the card games and gambling devices that Kreitz had set up in the park's clubhouse.

The Fleetwood Historical Museum has a Dreamland Park souvenir plate in its collection. The museum is located in the old Fleetwood High School and is open Monday andFriday mornings till noon.

Although I have researched this park extensively, I have been unable to locate any pictures of the park while it was in operation. I also have been unable to find the exact date in which it opened, although I believe it to be in the early 30s.

Click on the thumbnails below to see aerial photographs of Dreamland Park from the late 60s. Although these pictures were taken several years after the park had been closed, most of the buildings are still intact. The source of the photographs is unknown.

Locally, the park is still remembered for two gruesome murders that took place there after it closed. On August 13th of 1969, two teens, Marilyn H. Sheckler, 18, of Westmoreland County and Glenn W. Eckert, 20, of


Robesonia, were murdered in the woods surrounding the park by two members of the Pagan motorcycle gang.

Marilyn H. Sheckler, left and Glenn Eckert, right. These pictures were published in the Reading Eagle newspaper after their bodies were discovered.

The couple had driven to a location along Skyline Drive that overlooks Reading, PA during the early morning hours of August 13th. It was there that two Pagan gang members entered Eckert's car and forced him to drive to a train station in Leesport. They then abandoned Eckert's car and forced the two into a box truck owned by the motorcycle gang. It was in the truck that the two gang members along with two other gang members took turns raping the girl as they drove around the dark Pricetown roads.At approximately 2 a.m., the four gang members returned to Dreamland Park and forced the two teens into the woods. Just inside the woods, Eckert was shot to death and Sheckler was beaten to death in the head with a rock. The bodies were hastily covered by rocks and debris by the gang members.

On October 23rd of 1969, the police finally found the bodies of the teens in the woods around the park after an exhaustive search. The case went to trial in 1970 and two of the bikers, Leroy S. Stoltzfus Jr., 21, and Robert Martinolich, 22,


were convicted of murdering the teens during two separate trials. Stoltzfus and Martinolich both received life sentences in separate state prisons. On March 28, 2010, Leroy Stoltzfus died at the Select Specialty Hospital at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown. Stoltzfus was 61 and had served 40 years in prison. Officials said that he had been hospitalized for a lengthy period prior to his death and died from natural causes. Robert Martinolich is still serving his life sentence at the State Correctional Institution - Laurel Highlands in Somerset, PA. He is 63 years old

The other two bikers who were involved, James M. Eways and Harlin E. Bailey, were not charged for the murders because they turned state evidence against Stoltzfus and Martinolich. They were, however, charged for raping Sheckler, but the charges were eventually dropped because the prosecutor did not have enough evidence to go to trial.

They took part in the abduction of Glenn Eckert and Marilyn Sheckler and the rape of Sheckler, but were not charged because they turned state evidence against Martinolich and Stoltzfus. This picture was published in the Reading Eagle.

After reading many newspaper articles describing the accounts of the trial, I am uncertain of who actually murdered the


two teens. Although Stoltzfus and Martinolich were convicted, they both denied killing the teens. They accused Eways and Bailey as being the actual murderers. There was no physical evidence to link any one of the bikers as being the actual murderer and the only witnesses were the bikers themselves. It was essentially one biker's word against the other.

Current picture of James M. Eways published in the Reading Eagle during his 1996 murder trial.

James Eways eventually did do some time in State prison for an unrelated incident that occurred in the mid-nineties. After the Dreamland Park incident, Eways became a prominent businessman in the Reading area and was president of Mast Engineering Inc. located on Fifth and Walnut Streets. In the early nineties, Eways moved into a former chapelconverted into a house located in Wernersville. The area of his home was the source of local folklore and frequently attracted teenage curiosity seekers. In the early morning hours of June 15th, 1996, five teens were driving up and down the street outside Eways' home shouting threats and obscenities. The teens also shined a flashlight into Eways' windows as they drove by. Eways eventually came out of his house with a .357 Magnum and fired two shots. One shot went through the passenger window of the teens' car and hit 17 year old Michael A. Abate, III in the head. The teen died about 20 hours later in the hospital.

At first, Eways denied shooting the teen, but eventually he confessed to firing the fatal shot. He was arrested and charged with first and third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. Eways defense was that he only wanted to scare the teens and his gun accidentally went off. The case finally went to trial in September of 1996. The trial was moved to Erie, PA at the request of Eways' attorney because of pretrial publicity in Berks County and because many people still associated Eways with the Dreamland Park murders. On October 1st, 1996, after seven hours of deliberations, the Erie County Court jury acquitted Eways of first and third-degree murder, voluntarymanslaughter and aggravated assault. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and five counts of recklessly endangering another person. Eways was ordered to state prison for 2-to-5 years as a result of the verdict, the maximum sentence for involuntary manslaughter. The judge allowed Eways to remain free on $500,000 bail pending an appeal of his conviction, but Eways was imprisoned September 3, 1998 when his appeals were exhausted. Eways spent the entire five years in prison and was released in September of 2003. He currently lives in the same Wernersville house in which the shooting occurred.

several pictures of Dreamland Park from August of 1992. Although some of the buildings had collapsed, several remains were still identifiable. Click on the picture below to look at her photos.

In the summer of 2004, I took a trip to the site of Dreamland Park to see what remains. The property was owned by someone who rents out some of the buildings for housing. Next to the rental properties was the woods which still contained many of the original structures from the park. Because I had not seen any pictures of the park when it was operating, I was unable to tell what the different buildings were. The park was very eerie and many strange insect noises could be heard. Here are some pictures that I took duringStories this photo appears in:

officers testified that they were at various spots on the defendant's farm, a 495-acre tract of land, during the day. Around eleven o'clock in the morning, they saw defendant going to his mail box in a car with his wife. He was again seen by them feeding his hogs around the middle of the afternoon, and also working on some water pipes around his house.
The Attorney General continues the narrative thus:
Mr. Hamner then testified that he saw a still on the property located about a quarter of a mile south of Oden's house in a cane thicket on the bank of a stream. It was a tank type, approximately four feet wide, and would hold about 588 gallons. On January 23, 1959, he saw approximately 527 gallons ofmash or beer in the still; that the beer in the still contained alcohol. He saw Oden go to, or near, the still at about 5:20 p. m.
Hamner was, at this time, located across the stream from the still and was viewing the appellant through field glasses. At about 5:20 p. m. he heard a rustling in the cane brake and could see a man moving around the still. The man, wearing blue denim trousers, an "Ike" jacket, and a greasy red leather cap, came across the creek to within ten yards of Hamner and began to pick up wood.
Using the wood he had picked up, he started a fire under the still, put a piece of tin over the furnace and walked back through the pasture to


Hundreds of people who worked and lived in UK for years were told they had 14 days to lodge an appeal

They are teachers, doctors, scientists and engineers. Most have British-born children. Many have lived legally in the UK for a decade or more, but all are now on the verge of destitution, forbidden from working, using the NHS, renting property or receiving benefits.

Their offence? To have made legal amendments to their tax returns. For that, the Home Office has fought – often for years – to force them to leave the UK under a law designed, in part, to tackle terrorism and people judged to be a threat to national security.

DUBLIN — The N.H. Public Water Access Advisory Board plans to suggest that the Dublin Select Board change the wording on the sign at the Dublin Lake boat launch site on Lake Road to allow swimming there.

Thomas Quarles, a Manchester attorney who chairs the advisory board, said he and several other board members visited the boat launch last week during a tour of the Monadnock region. They met with resident Steve Baldwin, who has been urging the Select Board to change the sign, which now reads “No swimming in launch area.”

The launch site was given to the town by Grenville and Fanny Dwight Clark to provide “a publicly owned place of access to the waters of Dublin Lake,


the Black Sea, as well as Madeira.

Habitat and biology
The Mediterranean scaldfish is found on the upper part of the continental shelf where it has a benthic habit on mixed or muddy substrates down to about 200m and feeds on small fishes and invertebrates. Their breeding season is from May to August. It metamorphoses into an adult from a larva when it is between 16mm and 23mm in length and off the coast of Brittany it may live for up to eight years.

Fisheries
The Mediterranean scaldfish is of minor commercial importance and the catch tends to be sold in local markets. In the northeastern Mediterraean it is normally discarded from bottom trawl catches. It is caught in commercial trawlers as by-catch in the eastern central Atlantic but again it isthat it is a building of historic importance.

The district of Barnim has a long tradition of paper production dating back to the 1530s and at one time the mills in the area were responsible for the production of all of the paper used by the Deutsches Reich for the printing of banknotes. Another mill in the area, Papierfabrik Spechthausen, produced the paper used to create the counterfeit pound notes for Operation Bernhard – an attempt to destabilise the British economy during the Second World War.

In 1956, Papierfabrik Wolfswinkel took over the production of a famous handcrafted paper with a woodpecker watermark when the Papierfabrik Spechthausen was acquisitioned by the army.

Unfortunately, the paper factory like many of Berlin’s abandoned buildings was a victim of German reunification. Paper production ceased


in 1992, though it seems some stock still exists and the former owner has opened a paper museum on the site.

Now, the factory is not a lot more than a shell.

Here and there though there are some reminders of it’s industrial past in the machinery, vats and pipework that remain.

And the various signs and writing on the walls.

There was also a wealth of art throughout the building – so much that I will devote a whole post to it.

the PACFOLD study would focus on persons aged 5 to 44 years.

The current practice of identifying those at risk for learning disabilities
usually starts when a child enters the school system, generally around
the age of five. Therefore, research on the impact of learning disabilities
at an early age focuses on the age of five as a starting point. The age
of forty-four was identified as the upper end of the research, for two
reasons.

The term learning disability was first
applied in the early 1960’s;
and those identified by diagnosticians in the late 60s, early 70s are now
in this age bracket. Again the early educational focus of identification
has led to sparse documentation for older Canadians who had already left
the school system, and many today still


do not have a diagnosis of LD.

Six categories were identified by the Research Team as
significantly impacting upon persons with learning disabilities and their
families. These included education, personal and social development, employment,
parent and family, health and finance. Each category contains a number
of specific indicators that may or may not help determine if a person has
learning disabilities.

The statistical databases were then examined to determine
if there were specific questions that would elicit the information necessary
to outline the impact of learning disabilities on Canadians in their daily
life. Ten databases or surveys from Statistics Canada were identified that
included questions to identify the population with learning disabilities
and to provide data to generate many of the indicators identified.

The
four age groupings are consistent with age groupings found in relevant
Canadian data surveys.

James Neal knows a thing or two about the NHL playoffs, which should come in handy for the Calgary Flames.

Calgary will look to the winger for leadership when the Flames begin their first-round series against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

Neal was signed as a missing piece of the puzzle by Calgary over the summer after playing in the Stanley Cup final with the Vegas Golden Knights last year and the Nashville Predators in 2017.

Now, he will be seeking to propel the youthful Flames deep into the playoffs and, hopefully this time, actually win the Cup.

"For me it's a clean slate. It's a chance to prove yourself again. There's no better time than having a great playoff run and helping your team win," said Neal, 31, after a spiritedpractice Tuesday.

"I want to win a Stanley Cup and I know every team at the start of the year says that, but not every team makes the playoffs."

Neal struggled offensively this season, ending up with seven goals and 12 assists after a 44-point campaign with Vegas last year. He also missed 19 games due to injury, but head coach Bill Peters isn't worried.

"It's been good to have him. He's dialed in and he's playing his best hockey so I expect him to have a real good playoffs," Peters said.

The Flames don't have a ton of playoff experience. In their most recent playoff appearance, Calgary was swept by Anaheim in the first round two years ago.

February 21, 2013

A plan to ensure that de-icing problems won't shut down Minot International Airport hit a snag over the weekend.

With four de-icing trucks all down for repair, air traffic on Delta and United Air Lines came to a brief halt at the airport Saturday.

DGS, the Delta-owned ground handling service that provides de-icing, had its final truck break down early Saturday morning, said Michael Thomas, Delta spokesman in Atlanta. De-icing resumed after 9 a.m., but flights were delayed and one Delta flight was canceled.

City council member Jim Hatlelid, chairman of the council's Airport Committee, said he will ask the airport director to invite a representative of Delta's corporate administration to meet with committee next month.

"Because this is ridiculous," he said.

DGS increased the number of


available de-icing trucks in Minot after truck breakdowns grounded planes on Nov. 10 and 11. At the time, DGS had only a primary and a backup unit in Minot.

Prompted by angry airline passengers, upset airport officials pressed for a solution that would prevent a repeat of what was termed a "fiasco." Airport officials directed concerns in a letter to Delta's chief executive officer.

On Thanksgiving, DGS again experienced problems when one equipment truck broke down and the other kept over-heating, causing delays in de-icing that put one Delta flight behind schedule. An Allegiant flight also was affected, although it already was delayed because of other plane problems.

Delta responded by promising to station additional de-icing equipment in Minot to serve all DGS's operations in North Dakota.

Of the four de-icing truckscurrently at the airport, three had been out of service before Saturday due to small warranty-related issues, Thomas said. The fourth truck was newer, and DGS was relying on that machine while waiting for eventual repairs to the others. The truck experienced problems early Saturday that mechanics were able to repair that morning, he said.

Hatlelid said Minot Aero Center also responded to assist with de-icing once it was able to get the necessary liability waiver from Delta.

"It's unfortunate and we certainly apologize to the customers who were inconvenienced on Saturday," Thomas said. "We proactively canceled a mid-day flight to ensure that we would be able to recover the operation as quickly as possible. All passengers who were affected by the out-of-commission de-icing truck Saturday were offered the opportunity


to be accommodated on flights departing from alternate airports. ... The airport customer service agent as well as the station manager did an excellent job of being proactive in reaching out to customers."

The airport reported Tuesday that mechanics flown in by Delta had three of the trucks operational again. A fourth truck remained down as of Wednesday due to the need for more extensive repairs.bring an estimated $175 million in economic impact here in Eastern Washington.”

Murray, a senior member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, called the project “forward thinking” and said she would make sure that “transportation and infrastructure priorities for families east of the Cascades remain top of mind in the other Washington.”

Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Senate’s Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, hailed the line’s high frequency, which will run every seven-and-a-half minutes during weekday rushes.

Light rail to trolley to BRT

The idea that eventually became the Central City Line began in 1999, with the Plan for a New Downtown.

The plan, part of the larger city comprehensive plan that guides development, envisioned a light rail system running from the east side of town along Riverside Avenue, through the University


District and terminating at the STA Plaza. At the same time, the plan described a complementary trolley system with an east-west line running from Browne’s Addition to the University District.

As the outsized costs of such a transit plan were realized, it was scaled back again and again.

In 2006, voters were asked to consider the construction of a light rail between the airport and Liberty Lake, estimated at $265 million. They rejected a pair of advisory ballots on developing the line, forever deferring the project.

The desire for a modern transit system downtown didn’t die, however, and in 2009 STA began discussing a system much scaled down from the light rail proposal. At the time, officials floated the possibility of a streetcar system, or electric trolley buses powered by anoverhead wire. Using $360,000 in federal and state grant funds, the agency began a 15-month Downtown Transit Alternatives Analysis.

In 2011, what is now known as the Central City Line was born. The analysis had shown a preference on a general route for the line. An early idea to run the line as a trolley was ultimately jettisoned in favor of battery-powered electric vehicles.

In 2013, the project’s first funding came with a $2.2-million regional mobility grant – state dollars intended to improve transit and reduce traffic congestion on heavily traveled roads. Months after that grant, the project secured $1.38 million in federal money aimed at projects that meet requirements of the Clean Air Act.

In July 2015, the Washington Legislature passed the $16 billion Connecting Washington transportation spending package, which


Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins wants a new and improved deal and he will not return to Lincoln Financial Field next season unless he does.

Jenkins has a year remaining on his current contract with the Eagles and the two-time NFL Super Bowl champion is trying to renegotiate fresh terms in Philadelphia.

The 32-year-old enjoyed another fine season for the Eagles, tallying 81 tackles, 2.5 sacks and four forced fumbles en route to the NFC wild-card playoffs, which Philadelphia lost.

Now, three-time Pro Bowler Jenkins – who joined the Eagles from the New Orleans Saints in 2014 – wants a pay rise.

in the lobby with gunshot wounds to their heads and backs, according to a police report.

Officials said a 65-year-old customer named Cynthia Lee Watson was killed in the attack, along with SunTrust bank employees Marisol Lopez, 55, and Jessica Montague, 31.

Ana Piñon-Williams, a 38-year-old mother of seven who worked at the bank, also died, according to her brother-in-law, Tim Williams.

"Her life was truly a light in this world," Williams said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. "She made it a better place."

The name of the fifth victim has not been released, at her family's request.

The police chief said authorities believe the shooting was "a random act" and that it didn't appear Xaver intended to rob the bank. However, he said police have "no information as to what histrue motive may have been."

Xaver and his mother moved from Indiana to Florida last fall, according to news reports. In an interview with Indiana TV station WSBT, a woman who said she is Xaver's ex-girlfriend described him as "fascinated with death and guns."

"For some reason [he] always hated people and wanted everyone to die," Alex Gerlach told the station. "He got kicked out of school for having a dream that he killed everybody in his class."

Josh Xaver, who told CNN that he is the suspect's father, called the news a "total shock."

"He wasn't raised to be like this. He's always been a good kid," Xaver said. "He's had his troubles, but he has never hurt anyone ever before."

to the SunTrust bank branch after a man called police dispatchers and said: "I have shot five people," the Sebring Police Department said on Facebook.

They negotiated with the caller, trying to get him to leave the bank and surrender. After more than an hour, a SWAT team from the sheriff's department entered the building, which had been locked. Xaver, who was wearing a bulletproof vest and armed with a 9 mm handgun, was taken into custody, according to the police report.

All five victims were dead by the time the SWAT officers reached them, Hoglund said Thursday. Another bank employee, who was in a break room and heard the shots, escaped through a backdoor, according to the sheriff's office.

A SunTrust spokesperson confirmed to NPR that Lopez was one ofits employees but didn't provide details about her role at the bank.

"We are deeply saddened by the tragic shooting at our Sebring, Florida branch this afternoon. We are working with officials and dedicating ourselves to fully addressing the needs of all the individuals and families involved," SunTrust CEO Bill Rogers said in a statement released Wednesday.

"I have been in law enforcement all of my adult life and this horrific incident shocks and angers me more than anything I have encountered in my career," Highlands County Sheriff Paul Blackman wrote in the Facebook post.

Wednesday's attack is reportedly Florida's seventh mass shooting in less than three years. In November, a gunman killed two women and injured five others at a Tallahassee yoga studio.
