In the spring of 2010 the Track Operators implemented the rule that Delay Boxes were prohibited in the Pro and Sportsman classes. Since that time there have been innovations in the world of drag racing that have forced us to revisit this issue and update the rule.
Stewart Doubles-up in Season Finale
Hurricane Gonzalo threatened the Fall Open early in the week but as race day approached the only real symptoms of the storm was some warmer than normal temperatures and a poor DA.
Almost 120 entries were on hand including a number of sport compact drivers to get some last laps in before season's end.

Kitchen Aid vs. Wolf rangetop
We are in the final stages of choosing our appliances for our new home and have narrowed our stove choices down to the Wolf 36" gas rangetop or the Kitchen Aid 36" pro-style gas rangetop. The Wolf is $1,700 more than the Kitchen Aid. So my question: is the Wolf worth the extra money? What do you think the benefits are (besides the name which I don't care about)?
I would also love to hear from any Kitxhen Aid range top owners. I've had trouble finding any reviews.
I have the Wolf sealed burners and love them but I have't cooked with the KA cannot compare them directly. Here are some things I would find out about.
Just looking at the configuration, the KA has the assorted burners while the Wolf has them all the same except one simmer/melt burner. This is a matter of preference. I am curious if the Ka "dual flame " burner is like a dual stacked burner. I can't find a picture of it. A big strength of Wolf is the dual stacked burners. They are two burners in one, the regular bcurner on top and the simmer below and the same diameter as the top one. This makes for a great simmer on all the burners. The KA has higher Btus though which maybe helpful if you stir fry a lot. We stirfry for two on ours with no problems. The simmer on those is quite a bit higher but you would have the one 5k btu burner. If simmer were important, I would ask for the btu range on all the burners. Wolf lists this info on their website. I use the low end of heat daily so it is important to me.
I would also look at how the control of the burner is. You almost need to try them live. The wolf has great control and range. Wolf often has a place with their appliances live and has demos.
Service can be a difference. KA is owned by Whirlpool. We have a Ka 48 inch frig and while it works great and I like the layout the fitt and finish isn't so great. The gaskets on the doors are two different depths soone door sticks out a little. The tried to fix it but they can't because the gaskets are different. Kind of sad for such an expensive appliance I would pull the knobs off and look at them and the fit and finish in general.
Thank you for your input! The lowest the KA goes is 1,300 BTUs. That doesn't mean a lot to me at this point--maybe you can help me figure out what kinds of things I would need a lower simmer for. What would 1,300 not be low enough for? Would it be adequate for simmering rice? Melting chocolate?
1300 btus isn't very low. i find the simmer setting being very low (but not clicking) is more important in my cooking than a super high BTU. When you are making soup or melting chocolate or just keeping food warm on the stove, its great to have. Mine goes down to 140 degrees on all 5 (cooktop) burners.
I know the KA has an aluminum chrome-infused griddle (image how the kids will like that with their pancakes - Yum!) which you can only use plastic utensils and "very" gentle cleaning methods. The Wolf griddle is commercial style griddle. Can be used with metal spatula and is designed for 20 years of use.
Good luck
"The lowest the KA goes is 1,300 BTUs."
I am betting the one 5K(simmer/melt) burner goes lower. They only list the low rating on the power burner. The difference is it only goes that low on one burner. I use the low heat for anything that requires a double boiler, anything that might burn easily and use them all at the same time if I am having a big family dinner to hold food with no scorching. BUT there are always work arounds-use a double boiler, a copper simmer plate, or simmer your soup in the oven.
"Mine goes down to 140 degrees on all 5 (cooktop) burners."
You can't really compare 140 degrees with the number of btus. The 140 degrees is a number made up by the manufacturer. Each burner has a rating with a high and low number of btus. You have to know this number to make somewhat of a comparison. You could take 325K btu burner and put a cast iron skillet with melted sugar on it and get one temperature or a copper stock pot with water in it and get something totally different. There are too many variables to give a temperature.

Summer, at last
Posted in Country life, Growing stuff, tagged seasons, Somerset, summer, UK, weather, west country on 19/07/2013 | 8 Comments »
It's been so very hot. Rising early before the heat of the day allows me a few hours' activity but, even then, the effort dampens and frustrates my hair's supposed straightness.
The plants are exhausted and thirsty. Some buds simply dry before opening. Others flower but quickly lose their petals, dropping wherever, confetti-like
Yet others twine joyously around despite their yards of dry branches, as if to say: you can't catch me…
The grass yellows. I leave it long to keep it damp and pathways are trodden into its margins by animals I never see.
When cars pass dust rises and coats the bins –dustbins – by the side of the road, just as its cousin, the mud, did a few months ago but now the ground is cracked and hard.
It is summer, at last.
In bud

It's too cold for May. Things growing are in suspended animation, biding their time, waiting for warmth and rain. Instead, it's windy and grey. The chimney booms with the sound of the air rushing over the roof, birds rise up from the field behind the hedge, try to fly across the garden and are beaten back to where they started by sudden gusts. The sun emerges for a moment but is swiftly covered again by layers of lowering cloud. Rain threatens but does not fall. Shivering, I put on the heating and think of making a fire, feeling the tension as my body tries to ward off the cold. Like the flowers in bud, I'm waiting for a change.
Focusing on Spring

I do love this garden in the Spring.
How I missed Prince Charming
Posted in Animals, Country life, Growing stuff, tagged frogs, garden, gardening, seasons, Wildlife on 11/05/2013 | 2 Comments »
It's incredibly windy at the moment which makes doing any work outside rather difficult. My hair gets in the way of seeing anything, so it was very frustrating being up the ladder fixing the cooker hood vent's gravity flaps, one of which had fallen off during the winter. I could tie it up, of course, but that thought only ever occurs to me when I'm already doing whatever I'm doing surrounded by swirling hair.
I cleaned the windows, which is no big deal except when some windows have got ridiculous amounts of security metalwork to dismount before you can get at the glass. It made me realise that there were two windows I'd never cleaned before – in four years! Slut.
I'm quite an anxious gardener, going around prodding and poking and wondering whether things are still alive after the winter. So it's reassuring to go back to old pictures and think that the tree probably isn't dead because it didn't have any leaves the previous year at this time either. Here are the last five years. (They enlarge if you click them.)
In the evening, after my final bout of cleaning, we found a small frog that had somehow made its way inside and got itself attached to a ball of slut's wool. I quickly rescued it from the cats, who were looking very interested, and put it out in the garden under the leaves growing around the pond. It was only when I came back in that I remembered that I should have kissed it first.
Baa baa…whatever

Today was a horrible day. Fretful and loathe to get up, I lurked inside for as long as possible before I faced the damp outside.
But eventually my aim to counteract the worrying that is going on in my head with some productive activity did win through. So, as well as food shopping and mending the garage light (changing the bulb – sometimes things are not as bad as I fear), I drove over to Triscombe in the heavy mist (ok, maybe it was low cloud) and bought some narcissi and grape hyacinths, anemones and aubretia to brighten up my dreary garden that just will not come into flower.
If you're within reach, I can highly recommend them. Time has slightly stood still there and very lovely it is to and chat to Stuart about this and that, while you're thinking about what to buy – even if it's just bird seed.
The birds here seem very hungry, so I stocked up with so much that it came in a sack!
Then I went in search of lambs. Now, rather oddly, I saw the first lamb out in the fields when I was out riding on New Year's Day. That lamb must be quite senior now that the countryside is full of actual spring lambs.
Things have been very tough for sheep farmers this last year (and not so hot for the sheep either). Wet all last summer, so lots of them (the sheep) are lame with foot rotty problems – they're limping about all over the place, their fleeces sodden and muddy. This one is quite clean, although not pink as those that graze the red earthed land around here often are.
The horrible, long winter had temperatures that were well below freezing at night for long spells, followed by a very cold spring which led to sheep being buried in snowdrifts and lambs dying as they were being born. Luckily, it wasn't that cold down here in the south west, but spring is still being held in abeyance by the cold and it's windy as hell, or I should say, as usual.
So, anyway, here are some lambs. They brought a smile to my face with their silly antics – one of the lambs below is standing on its mother.
It's coming…

Last week, as the snow melted away, new life was stirring beneath the trees' damp discarded leaves. It is spring in the middle of winter.

In his first interview since re-signing with the New York Knicks, star forward Carmelo Anthony defended his decision in returning to the Big Apple saying that he just wants to win and doesn't really care about the contract.
Anthony or popularly known as "Melo" is one of the best small forwards in the NBA, and definitely the franchise player for New York, but with this recent statement, he might just be one of the best liars in the league as well.
"I want to win. I don't care about the money," Anthony said via ESPN. "I believe Phil will do what he has to do to take care of that.
The celebrated decision was documented in the 2014 offseason. Aside from New York, teams of interest were the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.
If Melo wanted to win he would have identified that two of four teams chasing him had better chances to be a contender than the other two who are in complete rebuilding mode.
The contenders of course are the Bulls and Rockets. Chicago has a core of Joakim Noah, 2014 NBA Defensive Player of the Year; Derrick Rose, former NBA Most Valuable Player and Taj Gibson. Houston has Dwight Howard and James Harden.
Conversely, Los Angeles has Kobe Bryant and his $48M contract while New York has Amare Stoudemire, J.R. Smith and Andrea Bargnani.
To add, New York also took a step back this season after dealing away veteran center Tyson Chandler, one of the few players who played defense in previous seasons in New York.
The Knicks will also be bringing a rookie head coach in Derek Fisher, a proven NBA player but who has zero experience in running an NBA team from the sidelines.
Still, Anthony chose the Knicks over the Bulls and Rockets— a respectable decision since he wants to stick with his team. It came with a price of course— on a huge $124M deal.
"I don't think we're that far away," he also added in the same interview.
Not only is Carmelo Anthony lying about preferring "wins" over money, the Knicks' franchise player is also clearly delusional if he believes that the Knicks should contend anytime soon.

Just be careful where you stick your fingers...
Just be careful where you stick your fingers...
Thanks! The fear of God is in me now.
Well, I managed to do it, and it all went well. Getting a zero reading was impossible, but I think I got within one.
In any case, the proof is in the pudding, and the RCA tubes are a major improvement, making the bass a little more robust and, importantly,
adding some warmth and smoothness to the upper mids (and highs), so my 009s sound extraordinary with my 007t/ii amp.
It's a superb combo in my book.
Yep, a matched set of 4 RCA cleartops from tube depot ($239).
I was surprised how major of an improvement it is. I've done lots of listening at pretty high volume levels with no strain that I can hear.
The SR009/007tii combination is really special, with no fatigue even on the popular or 60's music I listen to.
The speed of the sound, with lots of separation in a fast moving series of drum taps, is amazing and very satisfying, and what I think only electrostatic phones can do.
There is gobs of detail, but not hyped up, just natural detail.
It's sweet and insightful and delicate; I can hear what sounds like the fullest amount character of each instrument note and vocal I ever heard on headphones or speakers.
I sometimes think it's bass light, but then some big deep bass note will startle me with its impact. Bass transparency is as good as I have heard it; this not any sense of
subwoofery bass pumping; the bass sound is full of bass details, and it is there and then it is gone with no annoying hangover.
Here are some photos from my surgery on my Stax 007t/ii amp to install the RCA cleartops and perform the rebiasing. I can't emphasize how gorgeous the sound is with my SR009 phones. I was surprised at how good it is and how it perfectly targeted the treble area of the 009 and made them evenhanded from top to bottom frequencies and added overall refinement. The improvement was striking.

Alcatraz Tour plus Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods and Sausalito Day Trip
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Alcatraz Tour plus Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods and Sausalito Day Trip. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Alcatraz was a surprise hit. The tour includes the ferry ride over and back and once on Alcatraz, you are on your own to make sure you get back on a ferry that will return in time for the second part of the tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito. Even though you are on your own at Alcatraz, you have ample time to take advantage of the free audio tour, Alcatraz video, and wander around. The Muir Woods was amazing but it is a large preserve that definitely needs a revisit since you only get about an hour at the woods. Sausalito was a nice town to stroll, shop, and get a quick bite. You get about an hour in Sausalito. Overall, highly recommended.
the line for the boat trip was confusing . they told us to line up in the wrong place for 2 hours and then said we were in the wrong place
we had to go and redeem our vouchers twice to an office
why cant you send the vouchers directly as it wastes a lot of time
the content was good and our driver was knowledgeable
One of the highlights of my time in San Francisco. Great value for money.
Great tour guide. Enjoyed our trip.
fantastic tour had a great day reccommend to everyone
Alcatraz is a must see on anybody's trip to San Francisco and rightly so. A great insight into prison life history.
I really enjoyed the scenery around Muir Woods too - the Giant Redwoods have to be seen to be believed.
We did not get too much time in Sausalito so can not comment too much but it did seem to be a charming little town
I could have skipped Sausalito, but Alcatraz and Muir Woods were amazing! Our bus driver, Aaron, was incredible! He literally did not take a breath, providing us with info all the way. He was humorous, polite, he even held someones' baby for them! I would recommend this tour, my favourite part of my San Francisco trip. (I would have liked a little more time in Muir Woods)
Loved the tour was a great fun day out. Very easy to access as there were lots of pick up points we could get to. Tour guides were fun and well informed.
We did several tours while there and enjoyed each one of them!!!
I'd recommend getting to the Alcatraz 'Escape from the Rock' tour early so that you can get a good spot. I'm short so it was hard to get a good view of anything behind everyone. The trip was entertaining and informative especially thanks to our bus driver for the Muir Woods and Sausalito portion.
Great trip,plenty of time on island, beautiful boat ride over, wonderful walk in Muir woods
Archie was our guide . Great music n personality
Michael J H
Our tour guide, Troy was both highly entertaining and knowledgeable. Given that we only had one day to tour three sites; Alcatraz, Muir Woods and Sausalito the tour needed to be carefully scheduled and it was. We would recommend this tour to anybody visiting San Francisco but be sure to book early and take a sweater or something warm to wear on Alcatraz Island regardless of the temperature on the mainland.
Definitely interesting!
This was a very fun tour. My family really enjoyed seeing and learning about Alkatraz, the Muir Woods and Sacalito. All amazing places to visit, we want to come back and spend more time at each. The tour guide was great too.

Washington DT Danny Shelton Made One Bad Move at the Combine
Washington defensive tackle Danny Shelton is expected to be a top-10 pick in the draft. At the Combine he did not do anything to give anyone reason to think differently. The 6'2" 339 pounder was not lightning fast in the 40-yard dash, but for someone his size he did pretty good (5.66). He is more than strong enough (34 repetitions of 225 pounds) to play the position in the NFL.However...

Next to winning the thing interior defensive lineman love most is the sack. It is the stack that speaks to every lineman's desire to prove his dominance over his opponent.By time the game ended Saturday night Shelton met...

I was happy with my breast being a full B cup before I got my milk and was alright with them when they got bigger when I breastfed my daughter for 5 months. But once I stopped breastfeeding and my milk dried up, my breasts got quite a bit smaller.
I always thought your breasts got bigger after having children. Did this happen to anyone else? And is there any way to get them a bit bigger?

Border Patrol Agents
Border patrol agents are federal law enforcement officers. The laws that they are hired to enforce deal with immigration and customs. U.S. immigration law states that people wishing to enter the United States must apply to the government for permission to do so. Those who want to work, study, or vacation in the United States must have appropriate visas. Those who want to move here and stay must apply for citizenship. Customs laws regulate materials, crops, and goods entering the United States. To ensure that foreigners follow these rules, border patrol officers are stationed at every border entry point of the United States.

Worldwide: Once there was a thriving Arab women's movement. Right now, survival is our political act
Source:The Guardian
Arab women are generally portrayed as victimised, subservient.
Ahdaf Souei in The Guardian writes, "They sit next to silent, wide-eyed children in Iraqi hospitals, they stumble among the ruins of their homes in Jenin. Many in the west seem to think they need to be dragged out from under their veils and scolded into standing up for themselves. But as we all try to block, to temper, to survive the coming horror, it is crucial for sympathisers in the west to understand the truth. The women's movement started in Egypt, Palestine and Syria in the 1880s. By the 1960s women in many Arab countries had the vote, equal pay for equal work and maternity and childcare legislation that is still a dream in the west. Massive women's organisations worked to improve women's education and healthcare. Women (and men) campaigned for reforms in the personal laws and notched up several successes.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Bulgaria's foreign minister said Monday that Cyprus could eventually supply his country and other central European nations with natural gas to lessen the region's heavy dependence on Russian deliveries.
Bulgaria sees gas supply potential from Cyprus
Kristian Vigenin said Cyprus could be key to an envisioned "north-south corridor" supplying gas to central Europe.
"Cyprus can play an important role in the project delivering gas to (liquefied natural gas) terminals in Greece and then from there this can bring gas up to Bulgaria, Romania and central Europe," Vigenin said after talks with his Cypriot counterpart Ioannis Kasoulides.
Vigenin said Bulgaria can't fully replace Russian gas given its near total reliance on Moscow for the fossil fuel, but Cyprus could become a future supplier over the medium term. He cautioned much work remains to make that a reality.
Bulgaria imports around 106 billion cubic feet of gas annually. Cyprus has discovered one field off its southern coast estimated to hold 3.6 trillion to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas that US firm Noble energy and its Israeli partners Delek and Avner are looking to develop.

Well I now own a 90 gal tank.............
Space has now gotten tigher in my apt, but I was just too weak to resist. Got the tank and stand for $75. Couldn't pass that deal up.
Now to try to plan out how I want it to look.
Now as far as drainage goes, do you think the plastic whatever its called thing in the bottom would be sufficient?
This terr will only have plants -- mainly orchids -- in it. In my 30 gal [which will be getting torn down as the 90 gal is its replacement] I have an inch or two of primagra [the puffed clay balls/pellets]. If the plastic ?grate? would prove sufficient I would be happier just sticking with that. [Would keep the tank lighter which would be great when someday I move out of my 3rd floor apt. Heckuva lot nicer than tearing the sucker all the way down.]
Congrats on the 90G! =) You have a couple of questions that cant be answered until youre a little more specific on the type of set up you are going to build =) will it be a "REAL" terrarium? with background, vines, water falls and such? or one of those so called "terrariums" that are basically a fish tank with plants....pots and all just sitting on the bottom of the tank? (I call that a mini green house!) no offense to anyone, I just dont think that last mentioned set up is a terrarium, please let us know the specifics =)
The thing you mentioned is actually an undergravel filter and is meant for filtering a fish tank by pulling dirty water and debris down through the gravel while fresh water is returned to the tank through uplift tubes that would have been attached to the upraised openings along the back of the filter.
You could leave it in there for drainage but you would need to put some type of liner over it such as a layer of pea gravel or better yet, landscape fabric to keep the soil from washing down under it and eventually filling it in and stopping it from draining. I would do a layer of landscape fabric topped by a one inch layer of pea gravel and then build up your soil base from there. Be sure to plug the holes where the uplift tubes would have been as it appears at least one of them is missing its cap. The big advantage of re-using the undergravel filter is it's very light and if properly covered to prevent soil from infiltrating beneath it, it will provide good drainage and require less fill in the tank.
Another thing you need to consider for the tank is the lighting. For a tank that size, I'd recommend compact flourescent lighting or a double or triple flourescent hood. The hood will fit the tank perfectly these types of light fixtures will provide ample light for the terrarium. With the double and triple lights, you can even add special bulbs that will simulate moonlight and such to give your plants as close to a natural experience as possible. A good place to look for them is drsfosterandsmith.com. They have really good prices and outstanding customer service. I've been doing business with them for years. You can talk to one of their technicians and they should be able to give you lighting and hood options for the type of terrarium you want to set up. The hood and lighting will probably cost a bit but you got such a great deal on the tank and stand that I think the extra money spend on the hood and lighting will be well worth it.
Mine has worked great leaving the UG under gravel filter in place and then putting rocks on top of that and a very loose soil. In terrr soil can get pretty tight unless you put something in it like sphagnum.
I don't have a water fall in mine though. I found that it was just too wet. All of my water came out of the waterfall and ended up drowning the plants.
Best of luck to you!

Space is the Place Roller Disco Party at World on Wheels
Monday, June 17, 2013 | 2 years ago
On the night of June 15th, World On Wheels held their last Space is the Place Roller Disco Party. The Roller Disco Party welcomed attendees to skate and dance to Funky Disco, DJs Dennis and Riley More. While the Roller Disco Party was filled with an energetic, exciting atmosphere, it was also the last event held at World on Wheels. World On Wheels will be closing unless they can renew their lease; many community members have since put together a petition in order to renew the lease between Cortland Young and AMF Midtown Lanes/World On Wheels.

NEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN COUNCIL Minutes of the Annual Town Meeting held on Monday 23rd April 2009 at United Reformed Church, High Street, Newport Pagnell at 7.30pm Chairman: Present: Cllr Roger Hornblow (Town Mayor) Cllrs Paul Alexander, Simon Baines, Ian Carman, Pauline Dunford, Derek Eastman, Annette Irwin, John Smith and Nick Warton of Newport Pagnell Town Council. Cllrs Mike Barry, Euan Henderson and Alan Richards of Newport Pagnell Town Council and Milton Keynes Council. Cllrs Irene Henderson and Douglas McCall of Milton Keynes Council. Patrick Martin, Chairman of Bucks Association of Local Councils Connie Hilton, Historical Society Richard Meredith, The Newport Muster Brian Hunt, David M-Mundy, Peter Stanton, Newport Pagnell Partnership. Insp. Sue Usher and PC Kevin Leaney, Thames Valley Police. 57 members of the public. Lesley Welch, Town Clerk Apologies for absence were received from Cllrs Wendy Egan, Karen Haycock and Joan Sidebottom. Apologies for lateness were received from Cllrs Euan Henderson and Mike Barry. 1. Welcome and Overview of the year by the Town Mayor The Town Mayor welcomed everyone to the meeting and in particular thanked Rev. Jenny Mills for the use of the church. It had been a busy Mayoral year, with attendance at a large number of events such as the inauguration of the Milton Keynes Mayor, Care Home visits, playgroup visits, and events such as the Carnival. This year saw the Town Council achieve re-accreditation of Quality Status. A number of building projects commenced such as the overflow car park at Willen Road Sports Ground, and plans were finalized for the refurbishment of the Town Council's oldest community centre, the Portfields Centre which was a gift from the builders of the Poets estate. Grants from the landfill tax have enabled projects such as the Skate Park and the new Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) and play equipment at the Wordsworth Avenue play area. A grant from Sports England has enabled the Town Council to commence plans for the modernization of Middleton Pool to include an extension of the reception area to allow a better flow of people in and out of the premises and a separate room for parties and other functions. Support was widely expressed for this project. The government's free swim initiative has allowed the Town Council to offer free swimming to those aged 16 and under and those aged 60 and above. NEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN COUNCIL This year two new ministers were welcomed to the town: Rev Jenny Mills of the United Reformed Church and Rev Michael Godfrey of the Parish Church. The Town Council would like to see a community heritage orchard for the town and is working towards this goal with local residents. The Town Council is supporting the rejuvenation of the Brooklands Centre and looks forward to seeing this project come to fruition. We are approaching a time of anniversaries. This year is the 200th anniversary of the town's Horticultural Show. Next year will see the 50 th anniversary of the Christmas Lights and the 200th anniversary of the Iron Bridge. Next year is the 350th anniversary of the United Reformed Church, which has beein on this site since 1660. The youth of the town are important and the Town Council is looking at ways of engaging with young people for example it has set up a Discussion Forum on the website and is looking into the setting up of a Youth Council. Finally the Chairman concluded by mentioning the proposed application for a retail development on the former Aston Martin site. A public meeting on 9th April hosted by the Town Council was extremely well attended and allowed local people to voice their concerns. Since then the Town Council has supported the majority by making strong objections to the planning application to Milton Keynes Council. 2. To agree the minutes of the last Annual Town Meeting The minutes of the last Annual Town Meeting held on 7th April 2008 were agreed as a true record and signed by the Chairman. 3. Quality Status of the Town Council The Chairman welcomed Patrick Martin, Chairman of the Bucks Association of Local Councils. Mr Martin stated that achieving quality status was not about ticking boxes. To qualify for a second term took some doing and was achieved because of the work the Town Council undertakes in the community. The Quality Status scheme is a government initiative for all Parish and Town Councils and the Accreditation Panel is selected by the government. On behalf of her majesty's government therefore it gave him great pleasure to present the certificate to the Town Mayor. On behalf of the Councillors, the former Mayor and the Clerk the Town Mayor thanked Mr Martin very much for attending this evening and making the presentation. 4. Public Art in Newport Pagnell The Chairman outlined an initiative with local students for ideas for public art in the town, particularly at its four main entrances. He reported that NEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN COUNCIL students are working on designs and it is hoped that later in the year there will be an exhibition of their work. 5. The Newport Muster The Chairman welcomed local resident Richard Meredith. Mr Meredith outlined the fact that in the Civil War Newport Pagnell was an important place first of all for the Royalists and later for Cromwell and his men and as a result it basically became a garrison town. With this in mind they have named the proposed event the Newport Muster. This annual event will commence this year on 12th September and will take the form of a number of organized walks. There will be a three mile walk around Bury Field and part of the town and a nine mile walk going out as far as Gayhurst, Tyringham and Lathbury. The aim is to raise funds for Newport Pagnell charities. Mr Meredith introduced Kenton White who will liaise with the media, Steve Tearle who is organizing the route and marshalling and Steve Williams, all of whom are Newport Pagnell residents. This year the headquarters will be the United Reformed Church. It is hoped that this will be a long term event which will grow and develop over the years. 6. Regeneration of the Town The Town Mayor welcomed Brian Hunt, Chairman of the Newport Pagnell Partnership. In Spring 2008 a scheme was launched to attract more ideas and interest into the Partnership. This was called Partnership Supporters and from this new group two working parties were formed. One to look at footpaths and cycle ways – improved signage – more walks in the country areas around the town and eventually to produce local maps for walkers and cyclists. The second new group is looking at the river – improvements to the riverbanks and in the long term to reintroduce small boats or punts back onto the river. There are already considerable improvements where nettles have been cut back and some dangerous trees removed thus opening up the views across the meadows. Funding is now in place for Phase 5 of the High Street regeneration – from Market Hill to the Marsh End Road junction. This work will start in the summer and will be completed before the Christmas Lights. A boardwalk has been constructed in the Old Cemetery making it easier and less muddy to walk along the riverbank even after heavy rain. Considerable planting has taken place over the past two years and it is now a very pleasant walk which can be continued over the footbridge, across the Iron Bridge and then all the way to the Caravan Park and swimming pool. The whole of this walk is now accessible for wheelchairs. Three picnic tables will be placed in Castle Meadow in the next few months in the area between the footbridge and the Iron Bridge on an area which is now being regularly mown. NEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN COUNCIL A nature trail questionnaire has been produced and is being circulated to local junior schools and youth groups. The Heritage Group has visited the Aston Martin Heritage Centre in Wallingford to discuss setting up a visitor centre in Newport Pagnell. This was well received and negotiations are ongoing. Next year working with the Town Council the Partnership hopes to enter the Britain in Bloom competition and is also represented on the committee that is planning the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the Iron Bridge. Finally, another group is looking at the future of the Partnership and how we might further improve the quality of life for all our residents. Mr Hunt concluded by saying that although the Partnership is active in many areas it can not operate without the support of Milton Keynes Council and Newport Pagnell Town Council which it really appreciates. 7. Town Award The Town Mayor stated that for over ten years Brian Hunt has worked to make the Partnership the successful organization it is today and it is a pleasure and an honour to present him with the fifth Annual Town Award. Mr Hunt thanked the Town Mayor and said that the Partnership could not have achieved so much without the input from all its working group. The Town Mayor thanked Connie Hilton for nominating Brian Hunt, this is a timely award because Mr Hunt is giving up his Chairmanship of the Partnership at the end of this year and recognition of all his work is well deserved. 8. Bi Centenary of the Iron Bridge The Chairman welcomed Connie Hilton, Chair of the group organizing the celebration of North Bridge and Tickford Bridge, both of which will be 200 years old next year. On 18th September 2010 there will be a parade of transport through the ages from a stage coach to an Aston Martin. Starting at Blakelands it will go to Tickford Bridge and Riverside Meadow. An exhibition in the lower hall of the Library will provide a full history of the Iron Bridge. They are looking for Stewards in this respect. A book is being published in Summer or Autumn 2009 giving a full history of both bridges. Special stamps to commemorate this event will be available at the Post Office and First day covers will be available. NEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN COUNCIL Schools are to be involved with a competition and visits to the exhibition. Merchandise is being looked into. They hope to enhance the area around the Bridge with the help of the MKC environment department and highways department and the Environment Agency for silt removal. The Parish Church is holding a flower festival which may include costumes from 1810 to 2010. It is hoped the town businesses will respond in their own ways with special menus, window displays etc. It will be a proud moment for Newport Pagnell and it is hoped that everyone will do something to make it a memorable occasion. 9. Question and Answer Session Barrier on the pathway between Middleton Pool and the Caravan Park: Cllr McCall asked the Town Council to look at taking down the barrier to modifying it to allow access by pedestrians and cyclists. This would be put to the relevant Committee. Boardwalk in the Church Yard: It was confirmed that this had been completed that day. Speed Limit of 20mph in Spring Gardens: It was asked if the speed limit could be patrolled. Inspector Sue Usher reported that Newport Pagnell Police Station has hand held devices it can use to monitor speed and are supported by Milton Keynes Traffic Police. She would look into this matter. Dog fouling at Riverside Meadow: There was a request that signs are put up in Riverside Meadow which are clearer and more vociferous in the message that dog waste should be picked up by the owners. Inspector Sue Usher reported that from May the PCSO's will have the power to issue fixed penalty notices for dog fouling which is not picked up. Rubbish left on Riverside Meaadow: There was a complaint about bottles and cans left by young people on Riverside Meadow. Specific places where this happens have been reported to the PCSO's. Initiative by students of Ousedale School: There was an enquiry as to the outcome of the initiative by students of Ousedale School reported in the minutes of the last Annual Town Meeting. Whilst there was no feedback on the initiative raised last year there had been moves to encourage young people in the community life of the town. For example the public art project, the discussion forums on the website and the move towards a Youth Council, which would allow them to interact with the Town Council in the way they want to. Crossing the Road at Tickford Bridge: Milton Keynes Council was NEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN COUNCIL asked to undertake an assessment of the safety of crossing the road at the Iron Bridge from Castle Meadow to Riverside Meadow. Play Equipment for disabled children: There was a request for play equipment for disabled children. The Chair of the Recreation Committee confirmed that this would be considered for the Kingfisher Play Area. Empty building at the back of the United Reformed Church: This building was being destroyed by vandals and the church was looking for a use for the building. Any suggestions would be well received. The Town Mayor thanked the speakers for their presentations and Councillors and residents for their input in the meeting. The meeting closed at 8.55pm
