The dog park we go to has a double gated entrance so that no dogs can escape as people are entering or leaving the park. It is properly enclosed so that dogs can go off their leads without owners worrying that their beloved pooches will be running out across the roads. It has a couple of benches at the back for owners to sit and have a rest, a track around the outside of the park for people to walk around and a large grassed area in the middle of the track for the dogs to run and play together.
It is also nice to meet other owners, everyone is very friendly and it is nice to meet everyone’s dogs, you really do see all shapes and sizes!
I wish that there were more proper dog parks in our town. They would not cost our council very much money to adapt a part of the parks which we already have and they would bring so much joy to so many people in our local community. This is especially true for people who live alone with their dogs. Having a place to go to regularly walk their dogs would mean that they would start to see the same people at regular times, helping them to build up friendships and local connections, which is so important in any community.


Some jobs never seem to end, like the construction that has closed D’Arcy St. for more than two years.
Most of us have had it with the death grip of construction on our city. Between road work, cable installation, water and sewer projects, Pan Am Games and condos, it has never been harder to travel in Toronto.
New Mayor John Tory promises improvement in traffic flow within a few months of his ascension to the throne, but people say whatever it takes to get elected.
The problem is far bigger than any one guy, even if he thinks he means it. Let’s see what happens when Tory waves his magic wand, but we’re not expecting much.
And after two years of not being able to access their street from its east end, at the point where it meets McCaul St., people who live on D’Arcy may also be skeptical about imminent improvements.
Bruce Skeaff emailed us a Google Street View image of the ‘T’ intersection of D’Arcy and McCaul, taken in May of 2013, which shows a construction scene identical to the current situation.
“The intersection has been closed and dug up for at least 18 months,” said Skeaff. “Despite that, every day there are workers there who appear active. What gives?”
We did some digging and figured out why construction workers are a constant presence at D’Arcy and McCaul, even if it looks like nothing ever gets done: It’s an access point for underground tunnelling to replace a water main.
The “Gerrard-Elm-D’Arcy-River St. water main replacement project” is a massive undertaking by the city to install new water mains throughout the downtown core by tunnelling, instead of digging up entire streets.
The new line runs along D’Arcy, from McCaul to Spadina Ave., and winds its way beneath downtown streets including Elm, Elizabeth, Gerrard and River St. The D’Arcy access hole is one of seven at various intersections.
We previously wrote about a similar access hole dug in River, just north of the Gerrard intersection, which caused traffic chaos during the morning rush for about 18 months before it was finally filled in last summer.
But here’s good news for folks on D’Arcy: we talked to a worker at the site on Thursday, who said the water main is finished and that the street should be open early in 2015, after the finishing touches are done.
The project is ongoing in other locations, but the city website confirms that the D’Arcy section is supposed to wrap up by the end of December.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is urging drivers to plan ahead for overnight maintenance work on the State Highway 3 Bulls Bridge which will be undertaken from Wednesday 10 August to Saturday 13 August.
The work was previously planned to begin on Tuesday 9 August, and has been re-scheduled to accommodate availability of the contractor.
The work will involve removing silt from under the footpath and is expected to take three nights to complete.
Contractors will start work at 6pm each night and finish at 6am the next morning. During this time the bridge will be down to one lane with stop/go traffic management in place.
People are advised to plan ahead and expect delays of between 10 and 20 minutes or to time their travel for outside the work period, where possible.
In the event of bad weather, work will be moved to the next fine day.
Waka Kotahi thanks everyone for their patience and understanding while this important work is underway.


Greenway News: Pathfinders Purchase to Connect Salem, Carvins Cove
Pathfinders for Greenways is giving a major boost to the urban trail system in the Roanoke Region.
The organization purchased land near Hanging Rock in Salem that will help connect the trails there to Carvins Cove.
“It’s a huge deal to us,” said Liz Belcher, Roanoke Valley Greenways coordinator, told The Roanoke Times. “It’s an incredible connection being able to connect the greenway with 12,000 acres of Carvins Cove.”
Here’s more from outgoing Pathfinders for Greenways President Kemper Fant:
“Pathfinders for Greenways has purchased land and secured right of way to some very important property that will allow continuous trail and greenway access to Carvins Cove Natural Reserve from the Salem/Roanoke County side at the intersection of 311 and 419. This property, owned by the Hinchee family, is the southernmost tip of what continues on into the cove as the Brushy Mountain Fire Road, providing trail access on either side via trails such as Trough, Buck, Gauntlet and Hemlock Tunnel. Eventually, you will be able to travel by trail out of Carvins Cove, onto the Hinchee Trail, down Hanging Rock Battlefield Trail, maybe stop in at Parkway Brewing Company, then continue on to the Roanoke River Greenway and the network of trails it currently does and eventually will provide. Whoa!!
“All of this did not come without a lot of work by a lot of people; volunteer hours running Gallop for the Greenways and pouring beers here and there so that Pathfinders could build up the funds to finance this purchase and donate it to Roanoke County to include in their park inventory. …
“In the meantime, thanks for all of the generous support from throughout the communities that our trails and greenways serve. Without the efforts of SO many, this would not have ever been possible.”
The new section of greenway won’t open for a little while yet and this route is not open to the public. There is still private land along the proposed route; please do not jeopardize right of way negotiations with other landowners.
But, if you want to be invited to the first public hike/ride on the trail, planned for January 2019, donate to the Hinchee Trail at www.greenways.org so Pathfinders will know to invite you.

An intergrated transport system will be ready for Cup
THE Department of Transport unveiled its integrated transport plan for the 2010 Fifa World Cup yesterday.
The unveiling coincided with the opening of the Central Terminal Building of OR Tambo International Airport by President Jacob Zuma.
The readiness plan detailed how dignitaries, tourists, soccer fans and Fifa delegations would be transported between cities and provinces by air and land.
Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele said his department would have an inter-provincial and regional transport system to be managed by Operating Management Entity (OME).
"A fleet of 110 newly acquired 79-seater semi-luxury inter-city buses were especially procured by the government for this event," Ndebele said.
He said the system would incorporate vehicles from a cross-section of stakeholders.
Included would be 110 AutoPax coaches and 570 buses made available by the department.
The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa has dedicated 418 trains.
The taxi industry has also been factored in with a request for 700 23-seater minibuses to ferry soccer fans between cities and provinces.
All the vehicles will be branded and will carry comprehensive insurance.
Tickets for the buses and minibus taxis will range from R140 to R300 and will be available at Computicket and all Checkers outlets.
All airports will be connected to centralised transport hubs to distribute passengers and soccer fans to appointed destinations such as soccer stadiums and hotels.
The Gautrain will ferry fans from OR Tambo to Sandton at about R80 a trip from June 8.
Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transport, Metrobus and taxis will run shuttles to stadiums.
A 2010 Transport Command and Call Centre will be set up and be based in Gauteng.
South African National Taxi Council general secretary Philip Taaibosch said: "We don't have any intention of striking. We'll be having a meeting with the Department of Transport today about our role in the tournament."


Since 2006, the City of Grapevine has allocated a portion of sales tax to Quality
of Life projects in Grapevine. In the past, these capital (or non-recurring)
expenditures have been used for Parks & Recreation projects such as Oak
Grove Ballfield Complex, Casey’s Clubhouse, Dove Pool renovation, Bellaire
Park and other projects such as backlit street signs, outdoor emergency sirens
and emergency traffic preemption.
As some of these needs have been met, we’d like to inquire about your thoughts
on appropriate use for these capital funds. Please tell us what you consider to
be Quality of Life expenditures. This is a very short survey and will only take
a few minutes of your time, we value your time and input.
NOTE: Keep in mind, these sales tax funds are current revenues and DO NOT
require a tax increase.

Rocky road to frustration
BILL Edge has been complaining to Council about the condition of the boatyard road that leads to the family business Edge's Boatyard in Jubilee Pocket for almost a decade – and he still doesn't have any results.
Only a small part of the road, which runs off Shute Harbour Road, is the responsibility of Edge's Boatyard.
But Mr Edge argues that the remainder of the road is the responsibility of Council.
However, according to Whitsunday Regional Council's Transport and Infrastructure Services Department, this route is not a gazetted road – rather it is a road reserve.
It is used for access to Edge's Boatyard and in the past, the Jubilee Pocket Sewerage Treatment Plant.
Council used to maintain a portion of it when the treatment plant was in use, but only the section up to the treatment plant rather than the whole road.
But now that the treatment plant has been decommissioned, Council no longer maintains that portion of the road.
Nor should it, according to program manager for transport John Teague.
“We don't maintain any section of the road because it is effectively a driveway,” Mr Teague said.
But Mr Edge said he still believed it was Council's responsibility to maintain the road and he has been in contact with the Department of Environment and Resource Management.
He said he would be prepared to meet Council halfway with the maintenance of the road; he just needs it to be fixed.
Mr Edge said the road problem was very frustrating for him and it was an impediment to his business.
“Council have never ever fixed the road,” he said.
“They use the road but they won't fix it.”
“If it was up to me I'd stop paying rates. They [Council] do nothing for us.”Mr Edge said that more than 100 people, including contractors, could use the road on any day.

Cork City Council has advised of further interruptions to water supply across the northside of the city today as it continues repairs to a major water main which ruptured yesterday.
Engineers are still working to repair the serious break in the trunk water main in the Cattle Market Street area of the city.
A spokesman said residents and business owners in surrounding areas, including Tivoli Estate, Glenthorn, Lover’s Walk, Old Youghal Road (in the vicinity of Collins Barracks), Middle Glanmire Road and Liffey Park, will be affected.
"The council is carrying out essential engineering works to repair the broken main and will endeavour to have water supply, albeit at reduced pressure to the areas affected while works are on-going," he said.
"Every effort will be made to keep the disruption to a minimum."
"Some discoloration to the water supply may occur when the water supply is restored.
"This discoloration is harmless, and will clear in a short time. Please check the clarity of the water at the kitchen tap before operating drink vending machines, washing machines, dishwashers and other appliances.
"Cork City Council regrets any inconvenience caused to consumers as a result of this essential work."
The spokesman also asked people to advise their neighbours of the problem.

Middlesbrough Mayor Ray Mallon has again stated that park and ride could be introduced to help solve the infamous Marton crawl.
Nobody would disagree this would certainly help reduce the current congestion. The problem is, just where is there a suitable site to take at least 500 cars parking six days a week from 7am to 7pm?
For example, are we going to tarmac yet more of Stewart Park, or use up other precious green field sites? The Evening Gazette letters page is full of letters of complaint about why the East Middlesbrough bypass has not been constructed. The answer is crystal clear.
Redcar and Cleveland Council did not support the joint officer report commissioned and funded by both councils. This led to the loss of a multi-million-pound highway construction project, which was to have been funded by central Government and facilitated by Government Office North-East.

The CFMEU NSW has placed a Green Ban on the demolition of the Willow Grove and St Georges Terraces buildings in Parramatta, earmarked for destruction by the NSW Government as part of their plans for the new Powerhouse Parramatta.
“These Green Bans mean no work can be done to destroy these historically significant sites,” said Darren Greenfield, CFMEU NSW Secretary.
“If the Berejiklian government wants work on the museum to proceed they need to sit down with the local community, listen to what they say and come up with a plan that preserves these buildings.”
“The local community, through the North Parramatta Residents Action Group, has campaigned for years to save these two heritage buildings and they are supported by the National Trust of Australia (NSW) and the Historic Houses Association.”
“The CFMEU is proud to stand with the community in support of this important campaign. This is the first Green Ban the CFMEU has put in place since the recent passing of Jack Mundey who inspired a generation of unionists and community activists to fight for our shared built, cultural, and environmental heritage.”
“As shown by the recent success of the Green Ban on the Bondi Beach Pavilion, the CFMEU won’t stand by while local communities are ignored and important heritage sites are destroyed.”
“Built in the 1870s as a residential home, Willow Grove is a rare remaining example of Victorian Italiante Villa in Parramatta. Many generations of people in the Parramatta community were born there during the three decades it served as a maternity hospital between 1919 and 1953.”
“The Berejiklian Government has ignored the local community and refused to look at alternative designs that incorporate these two heritage buildings in the design,” said Darren Greenfield.
“For four years the community has tried to reason with Premier Berejiklian,” said Suzette Meade, spokesperson for North Parramatta Residents Action Group.
“Over this time we’ve offered solutions but they have been ignored. We will not stand by and watch as more local heritage is destroyed.”
“The Berejiklian government bulldozed Parramatta’s war memorial pool, then it was the historic Royal Oak Hotel – a hotel older than Perth. This hotel was knocked down in the dead of night. Premier Berejiklian should be under no illusion; if the destruction of Willow Grove or St Georges Terraces commences people will be prepared to put their bodies in front of machinery. “
“Jack Mundey saved Sydney’s historic Rocks precinct. Jack’s recent passing has reminded all of us that to simply be passive will only accelerate the destruction of Australia’s heritage and our activities honour Jack Mundey’s legacy,” she said.
A press conference announcing the Green Ban will be held at 1pm outside Willow Grove, 34 Phillip St, Parramatta – Tuesday 30 June.


Let’s discuss your project.
Our team worked with an incredible landscape architect to draw up beautiful plans. This backyard was completely transformed to include a golf green, pool, and garage with covered patio.
Wescott was able to create a backyard oasis that features beautiful landscaping, water fountains, and a golf green. Despite the space being limited, the result feels anything but compact.
When a golf enthusiast wanted to build the largest synthetic chipping greens in the city right in his backyard, we embraced the challenge.

New Zealand’s new prime minister wasted little time smacking down a development plan published today by the nation’s largest port.
Ports of Auckland today unveiled its 30-year development plan, which would see infrastructure improvements and significant automation investment to double annual capacity and the extension of a wharf by 13 m to handle larger boxships.
However, Jacinda Ardern, who became New Zealand’s 40th prime minister last week, gave the impression she was unimpressed with the plans. Speaking to the press having met with Auckland’s mayor today, Ardern said: “What I’m happy to say is that I have always opposed port expansion at its current site.”
There is an ongoing debate in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, about moving the entire port to a new location in Whangarei.

India’s Newest Capital Cities- Naya Raipur and Amaravati
Naya Raipur, the new capital of Chhattisgarh, was conceptualised as an international city, built from scratch or, in this case, green field to be the country’s first smart state capital. The idea was to keep it big on infrastructure, a vision shared 500 kilometres away by Amaravati, the new state capital of Andhra Pradesh. In recent years, the two cities have braved distinct set of challenges. Amaravati was declared the capital only in 2014, when Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh. One of the first things Andhra chief minister Chandrababu Naidu did to ensure Amaravati succeeded was to pack his bags and shift base to the new capital from Hyderabad. His cabinet colleagues and bureaucrats gingerly followed. In record time, a temporary secretariat, assembly building, other offices and staff quarters were built as nearly 6,000 government officials moved in with their families. Naya Raipur, on the other hand, has been slow in its progress.

Named after 18-year-old Meadow Pollack, whose young life was cut short by a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, is a playground dedicated to her in Coral Springs.
Located at Betti Stradling Park, construction is now underway for “Princess Meadow’s Playground.”
Meadow, who once dreamed of becoming an attorney and helping people was planning to attend Lynn University after graduation.
The new playground was funded through Meadow’s Movement, established by her family to construct a place for children to find enjoyment.
Through fundraisers and generous donations, more than $500,000 was collected to construct the playground, which includes the installation of new equipment, shade canopies, and safety surfacing. The construction is expected to last through November 2019, with a formal ribbon cutting to be announced.
In addition to Meadow’s Movement, partners in the project include Butters Construction & Development, Top Line Recreation, Ellemar Enterprises and the City of Coral Springs.

Mumbai: The city residents should prepare for water scarcity for the next 48 hours (Tuesday and Wednesday) due to repair works carried out by the city's civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
The repair works would be done at BMC's water pumping station at Bhandup and Pise Panjrapur plants.
The maintenance work is related to the replacement of two 1,200mm diameter sluice valves at the 1910 MLD pumping station of Bhandup Complex and the replacement work of Stage 3 pump set at Pise Panjrapur Complex, according to a report in Hindustan Times.
Apart from other maintenance works, the city civic body also plans to repair leakages on 1,800mm diameter water mains.
Due to repair works, the water supply will be affected on Tuesday from 10am to 10pm. The BMC is also likely to repair leakages at Powai on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 10am next morning.

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah – On Election Day, voters in Pleasant Grove will decide if millions of dollars will be poured into fixing the growing city’s aging roads.
The citizen’s initiative called, Proposition 3, would transfer $2.625 million from the general fund to a special fund for the repair of the city's roads.
Jacob Zonts is one of the sponsors of Prop 3. He says city leaders have made empty promises and by voting yes, they’ll be forced to make roads a priority.
“We probably should put our most expensive projects first. The cost is nearly 2 million dollars per year as we don't do the work on the roads,” Zonts said.
Mike Daniels, Mayor of Pleasant Grove, did not respond to our on-camera requests, but in March he told us if Prop. 3 is approved, existing services could suffer.
“The road initiative that's been created is rather a blunt instrument for addressing this kind of an issue. It would wipe out a considerable amount of money out of the general fund, somewhere around 21% that would be pre-allocated to the roads,” Daniels said.
In the past couple of months, Zonts felt like supporters were gaining some traction, but they recently hit a speed bump. The mayor sent a newsletter to residents urging them to vote against Prop. 3. Zonts filed a complaint with the Utah Lt. Governor’s Office, accusing the city of violations of public spending on electoral issues.
“I don't have a problem with the mayor voicing his opinion. I have no problem with that. The problem is when they use public funds to pay for a flyer, and also the public email to send that flyer out to every single household in the city,” said Zonts.
If the initiative fails, Zonts is grateful that he and so many others had an outlet to voice their concerns. They’ll continue the fight, and work hard to put it back on the ballot in a couple of years.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WEAU) -- On the La Crosse City Council agenda Thursday night, the council voted on a potential design concept for the La Crosse Center expansion project.
In a 12 to 1 vote, the council decided to move forward with two design concepts.
The concepts presented were at the $42 million budget and did not go into Riverside Park.
The expansion project was delayed after La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat vetoed a previous design concept back in June 2018.
"This is the biggest step that's happened in the whole process. To get to this point five years after we started discussing it, but we're there and to now go ahead and have actually somebody putting together a final design is a huge step forward. It's a relief, there's excitement," said La Crosse Center Board President Brent Smith.
Smith says the plan is to have a more detailed design of the expansion in front of the council in April.
The hope is for the renovated center to be complete in 2021.

From The Mountain Mail (Brian McCabe):
Salida City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday to increase the water treatment plant improvements Phase 2 project from the original project scope of 2 million gallons to 4 million gallons.
Councilman Hal Brown voted no, and Councilman Mike Bowers was absent. The upgrade will cost the city an additional $20,000 from the capital fund reserves, plus $6,000 to replace the windows. Brown said he could not vote for the increase because it will use reserve funds.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing night work for the installation of centerline rumble strips on Route 121 in Orange.
The project consists of the installation of centerline rumble strips for 0.62 mile on Route 121 in Orange. Rumble strips are a proven safety countermeasure and will minimize the number of lane departure crashes. The rumble strips will alert drivers through noise and vibration should their vehicle veer off into an opposing lane of traffic. This project is scheduled to occur on Thursday, September 3, 2020.
LANE CLOSURE INFO
Motorists can expect lane closures on Route 121 from 150 feet south of Wepawaug Road to 550 feet south of Robert Treat Drive.
This work will be performed utilizing a moving operation with intermittent closures of lanes to complete the work. Please use caution around this operation as these vehicles will be moving slower than posted speeds and when possible move over to provide them a buffer lane during work activity. The regular work schedule for this project is 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Motorists should be aware that modifications or extensions to this schedule may become necessary due to weather delays or other unforeseen conditions. Motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed when driving in this vicinity.

Drivewayspikes are made from sturdy, rubber that is designed to with stand the pressure of a moving vehicle. The rubber bases feature reflective yellow striping to alert drivers at night, as well as five yellow plastic polymer spikes to deter unwanted traffic. The Drivewayspikes can be connected together to create a driveway-wide length of protection. Drivewayspikes are available in 22-inch or 47-inch segments, with replacement spikes also available.
The 22-inch segments are ideal for narrow driveways or parking lots, while the 47-inch segments are better designed for heavy-duty construction sites or wider driveways.

Council has approved the release of the Tanunda Recreation Park masterplan for community consultation.
There has been significant progress since the original masterplan was developed in 2014, including the completion of additional upgraded tennis and netball courts, removal of the poultry shed, and discussions with SACA (state cricket) and SANFL (state football) to advance these sports at Tanunda Recreation Park.
Discussions are also continuing around expansion of the bowling club within their current footprint, and the inclusion of a second football oval (junior code size).
The prioritisation, phasing and costing of the updated concept plan is yet to be completed, and dovetails into the broader “Big Project” work.
Council is seeking community feedback on the draft masterplans from 30 January to 3 March 2017 inclusive. Submissions can be made via email to email@example.com, via the form below, at our dedicated engagement platform www.ourbetterbarossa.com or in hard copy. Please note our method of consultation is not structured with direct questions, but instead seeks your feedback through an open-ended response form, allowing you to provide extensive comments and feedback.
The masterplan can be viewed at branch offices or online (see links below). Please note in the masterplan currently out for public consultation, the RSL entrance appears marked out. This is unintended and should be included. Detailed discussions will form part of a report to the March 21 Council meeting but anyone with specific enquiries can contact Community Project Director Joanne Thomas on 8563 8450.

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) tentatively anticipates opening the outside through lanes of the reconstructed section of Baldwin Road between Gregory and Waldon roads in Orion Township, as well as Waldon and Maybee roads on the west side of Baldwin on July 6.
This date is dependent upon contractor progress and weather between now and July 6.
Waldon has been closed on the west side of Baldwin since March 30 and Maybee has been closed at the west side of Baldwin since April 6. Both closures were part of the ongoing Baldwin widening and reconstruction project.
Traffic will not be able to travel east or west through the roundabouts at Maybee Road, the Great Lakes Athletic Center and Waldon Road, as construction continues on the interiors of these roundabouts (see diagram).
Motorists traveling northbound on Baldwin and wishing to turn westbound on Waldon will need to travel north to the Baldwin/Indianwood/Coats roundabout, make a u-turn in that roundabout then travel south on
Baldwin back to Waldon Road to turn right (thus proceeding westward on Waldon). Motorists traveling southbound on Baldwin and wishing to turn left at Waldon Road will need to proceed to the first boulevard turnaround south of the roundabout and make a u-turn, then turn right onto eastbound Waldon from northbound Baldwin.
Both north and southbound motorists on Baldwin wishing to turn left at either the Maybee Road roundabout or the Great Lakes Athletic Center roundabout will need to travel past the roundabouts to the next boulevard turnaround and make a u-turn. The Maybee, Great Lakes Athletic Center and Waldon roundabouts are expected to be fully open to traffic later this year.

The M6 in Lancashire has re-opened after it was closed to allow a bridge to be demolished safely as part of a planned project.
The motorway was closed in both directions from 9pm on Friday night (10 January) to allow Nan’s Nook footbridge – between junction 32 at Broughton Interchange and junction 33 at Galgate – to be demolished.
Highways England had until 5am on Monday (13 January) to remove the bridge but the work was completed early and both carriageways of the motorway were re-opened by 11pm on Saturday (11 January).
Highways England project manager Chris Riley said: “We dismantled the bridge in situ and made such good progress removing all the rubble and clearing the carriageways that we were able to re-open the motorway early. This is testament to the hard work of the team and all the contractors working on this demolition project.
“We’d like to thank motorway users as well as everyone living along the A6 diversion route for their support and patience during the closure.”


After the denial of permits for Denver’s 420 Rally, questions are being raised about how permits are granted to organizations holding events in public parks.
Some people believe there should be a more vigorous public discussion before the city gives event organizers a green light.

The Colorado Department of Transportation’s plan to push more cars through the mostly Latino, low-income neighborhoods of Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea, requires digging a 40-foot ditch. To protect that ditch from flooding, the Hancock administration and Denver City Council made a deal with CDOT: They put Denver taxpayers on the hook for widening I-70 in exchange for flood protection work.

I hope citizens of Poland will vote in favor of the upcoming referendum question on June 8 to preserve some open space on town-owned property, known as the Bragdon Hill Project.
I was born and grew up in Lewiston. I lived near outer College Street and Central Avenue, near what was the fairgrounds. Believe it or not, there were many fields, woods and pasture land in that area. It was considered “country.”
Now that land has been completely developed and houses are everywhere.
Sadly, I see the same thing happening in Poland.
Let’s not let that happen to this beautiful town we call Poland. Let’s preserve at least a small bit of open land for our children and our grandchildren. They will look back one day and thank us for it.

Thanks for road work
A huge mahalo to Ed Renaud and his crew and to acting engineer Lyle Tabata for repaving the intersection of Kukui and Ulu streets in Kapaa. This heavily used intersection has been a tire and front-end alignment wrecker for a long time and we thank them for fixing it — along with the road going to the recycling bins by Mayor Bryan J.

INDUSTRY co.id - President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo inspected the Jakarta – Bandung High-Speed Train project, in Bekasi, West Java, Tuesday (18/5).
The first point is Casting Yard #1 in Cikarang Utara District, Bekasi Regency, which is the location of one of the supporting facilities for the production and distribution of box girders used as a compiler for the track structure for the high-speed train project. Afterwards, the President visited Tunnel #1 which is located at Km 5+500 Jakarta – Cikampek Toll Road.
“Today, I inspected the progress of the construction work of the Jakarta – Bandung High-Speed Train. To date, the construction progress has reached 73 percent,” said the President.
The President went on to say that in early 2022, the project will be ready to enter the preparation stage for operation.
“It is projected that by the end of 2022, the Jakarta – Bandung High-Speed Train can conduct a trial stage and will start operating soon after,” he said.
Once the high-speed train operates, it is expected to be integrated with existing transportation modes in capital Jakarta, such as the LRT (Light Rail Transit) and the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit).
“So there is an efficiency of time and speed. We hope this will boost the country’s competitiveness so we can compete with other countries,” said the President.
On that occasion, President Jokowi also emphasized the importance of transfer of technology during the construction of this project.
“We hope our human capital will be able to take advantage from the construction of the Jakarta – Bandung High-Speed Train. Later, when the project is extended to East Java provincial capital Surabaya, our human capital will be ready to lead the project using experiences they obtained from Jakarta – Bandung project,” he said.


GOVERNOR PATRICK, CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION RELEASE $185 MILLION IN FEDERAL RECOVERY FUNDS FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES, PROJECTS WILL CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS
BOSTON - Monday, January 25, 2010 - As part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's Massachusetts Recovery Plan, Governor Deval Patrick and members of the congressional delegation today released $185 million in federal recovery funds for water infrastructure improvement projects. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants and State Revolving Fund (SRF) financing will support statewide construction projects worth nearly $800 million, maintaining and creating thousands of jobs across Massachusetts.
"The federal Recovery Act is all about creating economic activity and putting people to work," said Governor Patrick. "With these funds, we are maximizing economic activity by doubling the amount of water infrastructure investment taking place this year, reducing project costs for municipalities, and using renewable energy to reduce operating costs at these energy intensive facilities. I thank the members of the Congressional delegation for delivering for Massachusetts."
"Today's announcement of the federal stimulus awards for construction projects will further support infrastructure investment and job creation in communities across the Commonwealth," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "Governor Patrick and I are thankful for the federal delegation's strong leadership, which has leveraged critical funds for Massachusetts that will complement financing solutions through the State Revolving Fund and lead to healthy, growing economies across all regions in the state."
"This substantial investment means repaired infrastructure, clean water, and cities and towns equipped to maintain their water and sewage facilities. This federal-state partnership is vital to the economic future of Massachusetts," said Senator John Kerry.
"This federal stimulus funding will result in millions of dollars in savings for ratepayers. I've worked closely with cities and towns for years on their clean water issues, and I know how important federal funding will be. All of us share in the goal of clean water. During these tough economic times, it's critical that the federal government step up and help cities and towns comply with federal requirements," said Congressman Jim McGovern.
"Today's announcement will provide communities in western and central Massachusetts with millions of dollars in federal stimulus money for vital water infrastructure projects. This significant investment will create jobs, help improve the local economy and make our drinking water cleaner. It is another reminder of how the stimulus is making a difference in Massachusetts. I congratulate Governor Patrick on his leadership of this high priority program," said Congressman Richard E. Neal.
"Recognizing the unprecedented unmet needs facing our decaying water infrastructure, Congress provided Recovery Act funding for local communities to create jobs and safeguard water supplies," said Congressman John Tierney. "I am particularly pleased that 8 projects - totaling over $70 million - will receive funding in the Sixth District, including nearly $1.5 million in loan forgiveness for the $13 million Gloucester Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade, which, combined with any financing at the local level, will help address one of the city's key priorities."
"Protecting our coastal waters is one of the most important challenges facing the Cape and Islands right now," said Congressman William Delahunt. "However, the costs are simply staggering and our communities need all the help they can get. As we move forward, we will not only be helping the environment but giving a huge boost to the local economy."
"Many of these water projects, such as in Brockton, Canton, and Holbrook, have been on hold for a long time due to lack of funding. Directing federal funds to these basic and necessary projects will be a shot in the arm for our cities and towns while creating and maintaining badly needed jobs," said Congressman Stephen F. Lynch.
"It is a pleasure to be in Maynard this afternoon to help announce these Recovery Act funds which will improve water infrastructure in the cities and towns of Fifth District and across the Commonwealth," said Congresswoman Niki Tsongas, who joined Governor Patrick at the Maynard Wastewater Treatment Facility. "In addition to helping communities with the cost of these needed drinking and clean water projects, these funds also support local job creation and the protection of our nearby rivers such as the Assabet here in Maynard. I want to thank Governor Patrick for working with our cities and towns to leverage this federal investment."
The contracts funded through SRF and ARRA include wastewater projects such as sewage treatment facilities and combined sewer overflow improvements. Drinking water projects include water treatment plants, storage tanks, and new water main and piping systems. The SRF provides 2 percent low-interest loans for communities to finance these expensive capital investments in their water infrastructure. This year, ARRA funding will lower costs to cities and towns by providing principle forgiveness, which will reduce the amount financed by 11 percent for wastewater projects and 20 percent for drinking water projects.
Under federal rules, the Commonwealth could have applied the ARRA funds to reduce the costs of only 71 projects then-approved for SRF loans, representing just over $400 million of construction contracts and with several of them already under construction. In order to maximize economic activity, however, the Patrick-Murray Administration opened up eligibility for additional projects that could qualify for SRF support by the ARRA deadline of February 17, 2010. With the enticement of ARRA funding, the number of waterworks projects grew to 120 statewide, with contracts totaling nearly $800 million. Based on industry estimates, that level of spending will preserve or create up to 4,000 construction jobs.
"Protecting water resources in Massachusetts cities and towns is a top priority," said Treasurer Tim Cahill, chair of the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust. "I want to thank our partners in the Governor's office and the congressional delegation for helping to advance this important program. Today's announcement will benefit both taxpayers and the environment."
"With the unemployment rate on the rise again, our number one priority must be in getting people back to work. This $185 million in ARRA funds will leverage $800 million in water infrastructure construction projects. And we will create or preserve up to 4,000 jobs right here in the Commonwealth. This type of recovery plan is exactly what we need to be doing right now," said Senator Marc R. Pacheco, Senate Chair, Joint Committee on Federal Stimulus Oversight.
"I am pleased with the Administration's commitment to provide cities and towns with recovery funds for water infrastructure. By investing in green infrastructure improvements at existing water facilities, cities and towns will have lower energy costs by developing their own renewable energy," said Representative David Linsky, House Chair, Joint Committee on Federal Stimulus Oversight.
"These challenging economic times could have forced municipalities to delay or give up on much-needed drinking water and wastewater projects. Instead, thanks to Recovery Act funding, even more projects will go forward, creating jobs, protecting public health, and bringing clean energy to our waterworks," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles.
ARRA also required, for the first time, that at least 20 percent of new SRF funds be used for "green infrastructure" improvements at water facilities. This requirement was modeled on a previous Massachusetts Energy Management Pilot Project, which identified energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy installations that could reduce operating costs and emissions of greenhouse gases from municipal wastewater and drinking water treatment facilities. These facilities are highly energy intensive and account for up to 30 percent of municipal electric bills. Some $67 million of ARRA money will be used for the state's largest procurement of solar power installation, which is in the process of being awarded, as well as other renewable energy and energy efficiency upgrades at waterworks across the Commonwealth.
"By including green infrastructure improvements in these treatment plant projects, Massachusetts continues to lead the way in achieving environmental advances," said Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Laurie Burt. "Installation of solar, wind, and other advanced technologies will cut energy use at these facilities, reduce operational costs, and shrink the carbon footprint of each community."
Combining state and federal funds, the Commonwealth awards low-interest loans through the SRF, which is administered by the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust, a joint effort of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, the Executive Office of Administration and Finance, and the State Treasurer's Office. The SRF comprises two programs: the Clean Water Fund, which has awarded nearly $3.9 billion in loans since 1991; and the Drinking Water Fund, which has awarded more than $975 million to projects since 1999.

In the vibrant world of urban art, Rebobinart stands out as a beacon of creativity and cultural management. Our project ‘Persianes Lliures’ is a testament to our dedication to creating murals and artistic spaces that transform the urban landscape and foster urban culture.
‘Persianes Lliures’ is more than a street art project; it is an initiative that brings together artists, communities, and public entities in a joint effort to revitalize and beautify our cities. Through the management of artistic projects, Rebobinart has succeeded in turning shop shutters, often seen as blank canvases for vandalism, into stunning urban murals that capture the essence of local culture.
Each mural is an art exhibition in itself, a unique piece that reflects the artist’s vision and the community’s identity. These murals not only attract attention but also generate interest and desire in the audience, persuading them to engage more with local art and culture.
But ‘Persianes Lliures’ is not just about painting murals. It is a cultural management project that seeks to promote urban art as a legitimate and valuable form of artistic expression. Through workshops, exhibitions, and events, Rebobinart is changing the perception of street art and fostering greater appreciation for the artists and their work.
At Rebobinart, we believe that art has the power to transform spaces, people, and communities. Through ‘Persianes Lliures’, we are demonstrating that urban art can be a powerful tool for social and cultural change. We invite everyone to join us on this exciting journey of creativity and transformation. Because at Rebobinart, art is not just a form of expression, it’s a way of life.

Join the City of Canada Bay Heritage Society for a special talk by Dr Pam Lofthouse on Sydney’s 19th century toll houses. As you pay your tolls on Sydney’s motorways, spare a thought for the colonists who were forced to pay a farthing for every sheep, pig and goat they moved along the roads, with double tolls on Sundays. Introduced by Governor Macquarie, toll bars (gates) and their related toll houses were common around Sydney until the 1870s, yet have now almost disappeared.
Dr Lofthouse, a heritage consultant, became fascinated by toll houses while researching the history of a small stone cottage at Moore Park. Her illustrated talk will explain why and where toll gates and toll houses were built, who operated them and why so few of them remain today.
The talk will be followed by light refreshments and a chance to chat with the speaker.
When: Saturday 1 April 2017, 1:30pm for a 2:00pm start.
Where: City of Canada Bay Museum, 1 Bent Street, Concord NSW 2137.
Cost: Free – donations welcome.
