Re Diplomatic status of Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester for the Principality of Hutt River
His Royal Highness
Prince Leonard
Sovereign of the Principality of Hutt River
By Electronic Mail
I am writing both to inquire on the matter above and bring to your attention issues which may have evaded your notice.
Included in this transmission as an attachment is a certificate you signed on August 17, 1987 naming Alexander Charles David Francis George Edward William Drogo Montagu as an Ambassador at Large for the Principality of Hutt River.
We would like to know what lead you to name Manchester as an Ambassador at large and if you were aware he had recently been incarcerated for 22 felonies at the time of the appointment.
What services did Manchester carry out on behalf of the Principality of Hutt River?
On this certificate you note his titles as Viscount Mandiville, Baron Montagu, and Duke of Manchester, which is incorrect. The previous duke, Manchester's father, Angus, the 12th Duke, did not die until 2002. Was the use of the title of Duke an oversight?
Manchester's former wife, Wendy, the mother of his two children, and I, maintain a website providing accurate and documented information on Manchester in hopes we can to some extend protect the public from his unfortunate tendencies. When we noticed the certificate up on one of Manchester's sites maintained by his present wife, Laura, we decided we must contact you to ascertain how this had come about.
The Time Line on the website provides a record of Manchester's activities over the years which you might find interesting.
At present, Manchester is the subject of two open cases in Las Vegas, where he lives. One is for passing a bad check to Speedy Car Loans, Case No. 11F21867X. The second isCase No. 12F20159X for child abuse in the aftermath of having pointed a gun at two little girls, ages three and six.
Does Manchester still hold an office on behalf of the Principality of Hutt River as an Ambassador at Large? We did not find him listed on your website.
Thank you in advance for your attention on this.
In hopes of hearing from you,
Wendy Buford Montagu and Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Re Diplomatic status of Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester for the Principali...

Thank you for your email and the information supplied.
In the early days of this Principality, 'Ambassadors at Large' were appointments presented to many people, those who were apparent supporters of the Province (as it was known at the time) and it was simply in recognition of their stated support and recognised the fact that they wished to promote the Province in their travels.
The appointment was not a diplomatic appointment thus was not issued on our Diplomatic Appointment Certificate and no territory was appointed.
All Diplomatic Appointments are issued with a signed certificate (not on a letterhead as seen in this case) and are supported by a renewable Diplomatic ID card (generally requiring replacement yearly) or a Diplomatic Passport issued for a period of 5 years (issued to Diplomats who have already proved their worth of such an appointment).
It is this ID card or Passport that is required to be produced by Diplomats when called upon, not a certificate which is purely for the appointee's own 'office display'.
Any production of the certificate you provided would be seen as a non-diplomatic appointment which carries no weight or position.
The appointment of 'Ambassadors at Large' by this Principality ceased many, many years ago, though we do still appoint some non-diplomatic positions, such as Ambassadors to Sport and Cultural Ambassadors etc.
Details as to the appointment of the gentleman you refer to is much lost on us after so many years, after all the certificate is dated 1987 and is thus irrelevant today and if a Diplomatic Posting we would not entertain such discussion as here.
Our records show that the appointment was however cancelled in it's early stage (no reason shown) though the fact that nothing is shown on the record would indicate that we heard little or more likely nothing from him after the appointment. He had no tasks to perform for this nation as such, his only expectation was that he was to promote the Province in his travels.
His appointment would have required references at the time for consideration to be given and references as to his claimed Titles.
Who provided the required references is of course unknown, as again, we are talking of 1987 and his main file was destroyed years ago, only the merest of details concerning him remain on our records for the archives.
I will make note of your information on the file but have little interest as to the claims made as once again, any matters are irrelevant today and we have no interest in investigating your claims for validity at this stage. I am interested to note however that for such a "bad man", an ex wife is still., bearing and using his surname????
Maybe it would be far more relevant that the British Crown be made aware of your claims since you state that he does in fact carry the Title of the 13th Duke of Manchester, a British Crown issued Title I would assume?
Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention, I have forwarded it to our Diplomatic security Force for their possible interest.

Wendy and Melinda Respond
Thank you so much for your prompt response, which is very much what we suspected would be the case.
The British Crown is well aware of Manchester's behavior, as he has also attacked them. Wendy says he was probably off his meds.
2012 January 16th - Duke on Sick Attack on Royal Family
Every time we think nothing he did could be worse he surprises us.
I believe Wendy kept his name because her children use the name Montagu.
The title was given by the British Crown, but to a much earlier generation. At the time, the family was highly respected.
This, unfortunately has changed due to several generations of Manchesters who share much in common with the 13th Duke.
Again, thanks for your response and for clearing up this issue.

In response to a civil inquiry from outside the US
A query on the status of our subject, Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester, was received and we searched the data base and found no sign he was not still secured within the prison system of Nevada.
Inquiring Minds Want to Know. Just a tad.
The copy and paste title for a lawsuit brought by 'The King of Condos,' appeared in my email box via the comment app on this site. The return email was 'sally,' with a fake URL. This excitement occurred in the lives of Alex and Laura in 2013. I talked to the Plaintiff, the person not his corporation or attorney. Others also emailed or otherwise contacted me with further updates. Now, why would either Laura or the nastiest little psychopath in the world, Morgan Gell, have sent this?
I overlooked it because of the surge of alerts coming up from the tragic Manchester event of late.

Noel Gallagher mocks 'middle class' Russell Brand
From: The Hamilton Spectator
NOTE: ""He says, 'Come on mate, back us' and I'm like, 'If you make me the Duke Of Manchester then I'm in'." One has to wonder if the fellow actually knew much about Alex.
Noel Gallagher has called out Russell Brand for being "middle-class" - despite him being a self-proclaimed man of the people.
The 49-year-old rock star was a guest on Russell's return to live broadcasting with X Radio on Sunday (02.04.17) and Noel wasted little time in ridiculing his long-time friend, telling listeners the actor lives in a £7 million home overlooking the River Thames in London.
Noel said: "Russell has got the River Thames as his garden. This is how middle class he his." MORE
Thanks, Lola, yes, we know that but it is delightful to have you weigh in. I'm respecting your privacy, Lola, since the Manchesters are connected to some really nasty types.

I'm sure Alex's probation officer and jailer would love to see the same story Alex is using is that of his father's before him.

In 1959 Dad took me to hear something he through was important.
He was right. Dr. Arthur F. Pillsbury, my father, was a life-long Conservative who understood the problems we still face today with pollution, water, air and land. Dad was named to the first EPA in 1969.
JFK Research Library
This is a transcription of this speech made for the convenience of readers and researchers. A copy of the text of this speech exists in the Senate Speech file of the John F. Kennedy Pre-Presidential Papers here at the John F. Kennedy Library.
No change in a fast-changing world presents a greater challenge 2– no problem in a world full of problems calls for greater leadership and vision – than the control of nuclear weapons, the utter destruction which would result from their use in war, and the radioactive pollution of our atmosphere by their continued testing in peace-time.
It is not a simple problem with simple answers. The experts disagree – the evidence is in conflict – the obstacles to an international solution are large and many. But the issue of nuclear tests and their effects is one which should be discussed in the coming months – not as a purely partisan matter, but as one of the great issues on the American scene.
It was well, therefore, that this issue was raised last Sunday in a constructive way by the Governor of New York. His statement contributed to the dialogue on this basic issue – it represented the position of a leading figure in the Republican Party – and he did not attempt to evade the question. So I commend Governor Rockefeller for stating his views, and I hope they will be considered and debated by interested citizens everywhere.
But I must also express my own emphatic disagreement with his statement, which called for this country to resume nuclear test explosions. Such a proposal, it seems to me, is unwise when it is suggested just prior to the reopening of negotiations with the British and Russians at Geneva on this very question. It is damaging to the American image abroad at a time when the Russians have unilaterally suspended their testing and the peoples of the world are fearful of continued fall-out. And, while Mr. Rockefeller did suggest that the testing take place underground to prevent fall-out, he also – according to press reports – "discounted" the harmful effects of fall-out – which I am unwilling to do.
While many competent scientists agree that there has been no great harm done to mankind as a whole from the amount of radiation created by bomb tests so far, it is also true that there is no amount of radiation so small that it has no ill effects at all on anybody. There is actually no such thing as a minimum permissible dose. Perhaps we are talking about only a very small number of individual tragedies – the number of atomic age children with cancer, the new victims of leukemia, the damage to skin tissues here and reproductive systems there – perhaps these are too small to measure with statistics. But they nevertheless loom very large indeed in human and moral terms. Moreover, there is still much that we do not know – and too often in the past we have minimized these perils and shrugged aside these dangers, only to find that our estimates were faulty and the real dangers were worse than we knew.
Let us remember also that our resumption of tests would bring Russian resumption of tests – it would make negotiations even more strained – it would spur other nations seeking entry into the "atomic club", with their own tests polluting the atmosphere – and, in short, it could precede the kind of long, feverish testing period which all scientists agree would threaten the very existence of man himself. And, perhaps even more importantly the ability of other nations to test, develop and stockpile atomic weapons will alter drastically the whole balance of power, and put us all at the mercy of inadvertent, irresponsible or deliberate atomic attacks from many corners of the globe. This problem – called the nth country problem, because we do not know how many nations may soon possess these weapons – is at the real heart of the Geneva negotiations. For once China, or France, or Sweden, or half a dozen other nations successfully test an atomic bomb, then the security of both Russians and Americans is dangerously weakened.
The arguments advanced in favor of a test resumption are not unreasonable. The emphasis is on weapons development – the necessity to move ahead "in the advanced techniques of the use of nuclear material." This reason is not to be dismissed lightly. Our basic posture in world affairs relies on technical military superiority. We need to develop small tactical nuclear weapons and so-called "clean" nuclear weapons, in order to deter their use or other forms of limited aggression by the enemy, and in order to facilitate a decision to respond in good conscience with atomic weapons when necessary. We need to increase the flexibility and range of weapons in our arsenal in order to increase the flexibility and range of diplomatic possibilities. This is not, I might add, justification for cutting back our ground forces and our ability to wage conventional warfare – but it is nevertheless important. Certainly the destruction rained upon us all by a small nuclear battle – and this our weapons development program is intended to deter – would be many times the damage caused by all the test fall-out in the future. But such a weapons development program cannot be suspended indefinitely in a free country without our scientists and technicians scattering to other positions in other laboratories. In addition, France and other nations on the verge of becoming nuclear powers will resent a ban – and their goodwill is also important.
But it is even more important that we find a way out the present menacing military situation. And let us remember that our present test suspension is implicitly conditional on a continued Russian test suspension. If we are not developing new weapons in the absence of tests, so, in all probability, will they. And the facts of the matter are that, generally speaking, we are ahead of the Russians in the development of atomic warheads of all sizes but behind in the development of delivery systems. Until this lag can be overcome, there is a lesser value for us in testing and developing further "techniques in the use of nuclear material." In short, for both sides to resume atomic tests today might well turn out to be more of a disadvantage to the West militarily than a help. The Soviet Union – which apparently made great progress in it 1958 tests – is quite as likely as we in any new tests to score a break-through with some new means of destruction which will make all the more delicate the present balance of terror.
I would suggest, therefore, the following alternative position:
1. First, that the United State announce that it will continue its unilateral suspension of all nuclear tests as long as serious negotiations for a permanent ban with enforceable inspections are proceeding with tangibly demonstrated good faith, provided that the Russians do not meanwhile resume their own tests. The latest extension of our test suspension announcement expires on December 31 – and we cannot take the chance of continuing it indefinitely without an inspection system – or afford the cost of extending a temporary suspension so long that our scientists disperse and our laboratories break down. But neither can we afford to undercut negotiations close to success – to resume polluting the atmosphere while the Russians pose as moral leaders. As long as serious, good faith negotiations continue into the early month of 1960 – and are not prolonged indefinitely beyond that – we must continue our suspension beyond December 31.
2. Secondly, the United States must redouble its efforts to achieve a comprehensive and effective agreement to ban all nuclear tests under international control and inspection – and this means developing a single, clear-cut, well 2– defined, realistic inspection proposal of our own. We do not have this today. We have not made as concentrated and effort on techniques for preserving mankind as we have on techniques of destruction. Nor do we have a clear, concrete policy for the general arms control of disarmament program which must necessarily follow an agreement on testing if it is to be meaningful. But the whole international climate could benefit from this demonstration that East and West can reach significant, enforceable agreements. At least a part of the burdensome arms race would come to a halt. The danger of new nuclear powers emerging would be lessened. For the first time the Russians would have accepted effective international controls operating within their own territory. The hazards of health would be over. Such an agreement, in short even if not perfect – even, for example, if it looks to further modification regarding inspection systems for underground or outer-space tests – would nevertheless be worth far more effort than we are presently exerting. And it would be far more valuable than the military benefits to be gained from test resumption.
3. Third – if our best efforts do not succeed, the negotiations collapse, the Russians resume testing and it becomes necessary for our test to resume, even then they should be confined to underground and outer-space explosions, and to the testing of only certain small weapons in the upper atmosphere, in order to prevent a further increase in the fall-out menace – and in hope, moreover, that the Russians and others will be forced by world opinion to follow our example.
4. Fourth and finally, we must step up our studies of the impact of radioactive fall-out and how to control it, through the Public Health Service here at home and a special United Nations monitoring commission abroad. Let us not discover the precise point of danger after we have passed it. Let us not again reject these warnings peril as "catastrophic nonsense" (to quote Mr. Nixon), as they were rejected in 1956 when put forward by a great Democratic standard-bearer, Adlai E. Stevenson. There is every indication that had a test ban been accomplished then, it would have been far more useful, far more easily accomplished and far more beneficial to our national security than it would today, now that the missile gap had widened so far.
These four policy positions that I have stated are no magic solution – nor can they be achieved overnight without effort. The course which I am suggesting is full or risks. It will require more effort, more leadership, more moral courage than merely "running scared." But the new and terrible dangers which man has created can only be controlled by man. And if we can master this danger and meet this challenge, we will have earned the deep and lasting gratitude, not only of all men, but of all yet to be born – even to the farthest generation.

The BMW G05 X5 is already here and deliveries have kicked off around the world. The new X5 is a brilliant machine as I personally found out recently during a couple of days behind its wheel but a lot of people are actually waiting for the new X6. The upcoming G06 X6 is set to arrive next year and it's bound to be quite an improvement over the outgoing model, similar in scale to the difference between the old and new X5.
Understandable too, as the two are basically sharing everything except the body from the B-Pillar towards the back. The Sports Activity Coupe model will have a different styling, as we've grown used to over the last decade or so. It will be less practical but more stylish, appealing to a niche that wants a massive SUV with a sloped roofline. The prototype has been spotted out on B-roads for a change by some nifty camera people and it looks imposing.
From what we can make out, the taillights might actually have a design that's sort-of upside down compared to what we're seeing today. Most likely, the new X6 will look a lot like combination between the new X5 and a bigger X4. While most of the technical bits underneath it will be shared with the X5, the design might share a lot with the X4. We can't really make out enough details to offer an educated guess though, due to the new camo the Germans are using.
Engine wise expect the same choices as on the X5. We'll get a couple of petrol choices in the US, such as the xDrive40i and M50i models, while European will also get their beloved xDrive30d and M50d versions. As for the X6 M, chances are we'll get to see it next year as well, along with the upcoming X5 M as they will share most of the specs.

U13/14 boys soccer sees Sooke as league champions
The U13 Boys finished their regular season with a hard-fought win against Juan de Fuca on Feb 15.
Mar. 5, 2014 12:00 p.m.
The U13 Boys finished their regular season with a hard-fought win against Juan de Fuca on Feb 15. The game was enough to put their stats at eight wins, one tie and no losses, securing them the title of 2014 Lower Island Boys U13/14 League Champions.
During the season they made a run for the LISA Cup as well, winning their first cup match against Cowichan Valley and then going head to head with the Sooke U14 Boys on Jan. 25th. The older team took home the win but had to fight for it from their younger club-mates.
The boys played their first Lower Island District Cup match in the Silver 1 division on Mar. 1 against Gorge. And what a match it was! Mid-fielder Simon Herold sent a free kick soaring into the top corner of the net, then followed it up with a perfectly placed penalty kick, giving Sooke a 2-0 lead. The front line of Max Hadrich, Steven Sessions and Jamie Horan pressured the Gorge defense with lots of action in their end, but they just couldn't get the ball across the goal line.
Gorge scored to make it a 2-1 game.
Striker Max Hadrich fired a shot from way out that found the back of the net to give Sooke their two goal lead once again. Mid-fielders Zac Miller, Simon Herold, Aiden Parkin and Brendan Kamikawaji kept Gorge on their toes with their speed and teamwork.
Gorge tied the score 3-3. The first 10 minutes of overtime ended with no scoring, still ties at 3-3.
The solid defense of Gavin Duncan, Rowan Wilson, Darby Strecheniuk and Nick Pasichnyk did their job well, keeping the ball out of their end and away from the net.
With 3 seconds left in the second overtime round Gorge managed to find a hole on a corner kick scramble in front of the net to set the final score at 4-3 Gorge.
Sooke goalkeeper Hunter Broadhurst had a stellar game with a number of great saves that made this match one to be proud of. Joshua Horan and Jason Logan were under the weather but with their teammates in spirit.
Registration is open now for the 2014-15 season as well as the new Spring League (May/June 2014). Visit the Sooke Soccer website www.sookesoccer.com for information.

An Open Letter to the Hip Hop Community (Rappers): Your Lyrics Can Increase the Risk of Relapse
July 31, 2017 Mark Sanders
Dear Rappers,
The first rap song I ever heard was Rappers Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang. I was a sophomore in college and that song took my college by storm. Music was never the same and in spite of its critics hip hop music has lasted for decades longer than its critics predicted and is now a worldwide phenomenon! Consider that at the time of this writing Jay-Z just signed a Korean rapper to his label. I also give a shout out to how rap music and the success of hip hop artists inspires generations of youth to believe they can succeed. My grandfather picked cotton in the South and once he moved North and secured a good job his philosophy was there's always work at the post office and once hired stay at the job for 50 years and hopefully get a gold watch upon retirement. This generation of rappers has convinced today's youth that they can own the post office and their own Rolex watch company. I'm a baby Boomer and I am inspired by the industriousness and hard work of rappers. My favorite story is of Tupac Shakur. Pronounced dead in 1996, the late rapper produced such a volume of work, i.e. nominated for an Oscar in 2006 and albums are still being released by him over a decade after his death, convincing his fans that like Elvis, Tupac is not dead! I find myself working harder when I think about Tupac and the late Notorious BIG, who at the peak of his success said he wanted to approach is work like an intern, just starting out.
When Hip Hop lyrics are at their best the music has the ability to save lives! I had a relative who was going through the process of divorce and feeling suicidal. A friend forwarded her a you tube video of Lil Wayne singing, "How To Love" She credits that song with changing her life. I want to let you know that lyrics to your songs can keep a certified addictions counselor, such as me, busy countering your drug related lyrics. Many of the adolescent African American Males I counsel initiated drug selling, drug use and are vulnerable to relapse as a result of listening to your lyrics. Many prominent rappers today glorify marijuana smoking, including, Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne, Drake, and Gucci Man. Other rappers glorify drinking expensive alcohol as a sign of success, including: Jay-Z, Sean Combs, and Young M.A. While others still talk about the glorification of drug selling even though they're rich including NAS, Jay and Future. Also, many youth have told me that their experimentation with new drugs began after they heard rappers mention theses drugs. i.e. Future (Molly Percocet), Lil Wayne (Purple Drank), a drug that has been known to kill people.
The greatest challenge in my work with young African American males in early recovery is when angry they access the music of their favorite rapper with explicit get high lyrics. The music then puts the youth in the mood to get high. My work involves encouraging them to listen to songs that do not glorify drug use when they are having difficulties. They're also many youth who struggle to successfully complete probation and secure a good job because they struggle to pass a drug test. We have helped many of them successfully complete high school by encouraging them to take "a weed vacation ". During the weed break they were able to clear their head enough to successfully pass the GED Exam. Your words have power. Please join me in being a part of the prevention and recovery solution.

A much-awaited love letter interrupted by war
The photo has been used for illustrative purposes.
Vince Gisriel Jr., Tribune News Service
During World War II, young couples in love, separated due to military service, had very few options to communicate with one another. There was no internet or Facebook, and no cell phones, Skype or FaceTime. Most men serving in the armed forces sent word back home by handwritten letters. Their girlfriends and spouses sent word from home by letters, as well.
Like so many Americans during the war, our parents, Martha and Vince Gisriel Sr., both from Baltimore, endured the pangs of separation and the uncertainty of not knowing how the other was doing. Sometimes, it was weeks before they heard from the other. In spite of this dilemma, our parents made up for it by writing nearly 1,200 letters between them for the two years of their separation.
After months of intensive training, our father was sent to England to serve in the 8th Air Force in March of 1944. He was a bombardier on a B-17 and flew 35 missions over Germany and occupied Europe. He returned stateside in September of that year.
During his time overseas, one particular letter he wrote to our mother stands out. It was dated June 5, 1944, and began by wishing his bride a happy anniversary, for they were married one year earlier. He only wrote a half page when he abruptly stopped. Three days passed before he had the opportunity to finish the letter, on June 8, 1944.
He wrote: "You are probably wondering what happened between the 5th & 8th. Well darling you will have to forgive me for not writing. Right in the middle ... I was called on to perform my most important feat of this war, and I've been going ever since. I'll have a lot to tell you when I get back, but can't mention anything at the time. You might even be proud of me. ... You do forgive me for not writing those 3 days, don't you. I think you realize I had something important to do."
Important is an understatement, for it was not a simple matter of pausing the letter to run down to the PX to pick up shaving cream or a pack of cigarettes. No, he was called upon to fly three missions on June 6, 1944 — D-Day — in support of our landing forces on the beaches of Normandy and to demolish Hitler's communication system.
And when he finished, he picked up right where he left off — writing a love letter to our mother. On that day, he also learned that his first child had been born nearly two weeks earlier. Communication had been suspended leading up to the invasion. The sacrifices and hardships that our parents endured during the war cannot be overemphasized. However, they were just one of millions of couples all over the world who shared similar situations.
We are very proud of our father, and the role he played in the war effort. We are also very proud of our mother who waited and prayed for his safe return. One cannot forget the sacrifices of those who stayed at home and offered unending love and support for those fighting so far away. It was those at home who gave inspiration to our service members to fight hard with a reason to hurry back.
As we commemorate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, which led to the liberation of France and the beginning of the end of Hitler's atrocities, let us remember the sacrifices of so many of our American service members and our allies, as well as the sacrifices of an entire generation that came before us.

Sushi Masa Ishibashi
英語スタッフ
Delicate Edo-style sushi with a comfortable setting.
Sushi Masa Ishibashi is located in Ginza 8 chome, Tokyo, which is said to be home to the greatest sushi, and many professional restaurants. The owner-chef, Masakazu Ishibashi, had the skill to grow a sushi restaurant in Ginza (which has a sister store abroad) into a popular restaurant at a young age. He opened his own restaurant in November 2017.
Owner-chef Ishibashi was born in 1981. His parents ran a sushi restaurant in Tochigi Prefecture, and when he was a high school student, he was able to make a lot of things such as onigiri. After graduating from high school, he went to America and worked for a sushi restaurant run by a Japanese owner. Then, owner-chef Ishibashi realized that he had the skill to make people around the world happy, and worked hard to learn more about creating sushi and improving his English. After 5 years he returned to Japan.
He worked at a sushi restaurant in Ginza and led it to achieve world gourmet guide awarded, then he went to its next restaurant in Singapore, where again he achieved world gourmet guide award. Ishibashi, who has been enlightening customers with domestic and foreign cuisine, doesn't just aim to create another sushi restaurant in Ginza, but a place where customers can come to relax and enjoy meals in a cozy atmosphere.
The restaurant's interior features many warm colored woods such as a wooden counter and wickerwork ceiling, which creates a high-quality and extraordinary experience. Owner-chef Ishibashi says that it is ideal to make customers happy by searching for delicious food without having to strictly adhere to the Edo-style of cooking. The vinegar rice is a blend of red vinegar which has been aged for 3 years and 5 years, to attain an exquisite taste. The taste of the fish also reaches new heights after being matured. Another great feature of Masa Ishibashi is the option to match the large selection of more than 30 Japanese sake with a number of ambitious dishes, such as chargrilled mackerel and truffle garnished with roe.
Owner-chef Ishibashi is also fluent in English, and there are many foreign guests. It is also an establishment suitable for entertaining guests from abroad.

No. 2 Canton throttles Thunderbirds to earn a spot in Division V semifinals
Canton's Ryan Enns scored a career-high 27 points as the Warriors beat North Branford to earn a spot in Tuesday's Division V semifinals. (Photo courtesy Paul Amrose)
CANTON, March 10 – A year ago, the Canton High boys basketball saw their chances to advance in the Class S tournament wither in a quarterfinal loss to a quick and athletic Waterbury Career squad.
This year's team was determined not to let an opportunity to advance to the state semifinals slip away from them. The No. 2 Warriors outscored No. 7 North Branford by 19 points in the second quarter as they blew away the Thunderbirds, 76-37 to advance in the CIAC's Division V tournament Saturday night.
The victory puts Canton (20-4) into the semifinals for the first time since 2007 and just the second time in the last 38 years. The Warriors will face No. 3 Cromwell (21-4) at a neutral site on Tuesday, March 13 for the opportunity to advance to the Division V championship game at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Canton hasn't played for a state title since 1981.
The 39-point margin of victory was the largest for Canton in CIAC tournament history, eclipsing the 38-point win over Wheeler Regional in the 2007 Class S quarterfinals.
"The kids were hungry to seize the opportunity they had," Canton coach Craig Archambault said. "The kids are stepping up. At this time of year, you really need to play your best."
Ryan Enns and Mitchell Cormier each had a career-high in points. Enns, a 6-0 forward, had a game-high 27 points to lead the Warriors while Cormier, a 6-foot-5 senior, added 14 points – all in the first half.
Canton's Mitchell Cormier had a career-high 14 points in the first half of Saturday night's win over North Branford in Canton. (Photo courtesy Paul Amrose)
"They struggled with our size inside," Archambault said. "They focused on (guard) Luke Brown and it opened it up inside for us."
Canton led 14-7 after one quarter and extended it to 35-9 after two quarters.
North Branford's 6-foot-2 senior Brett LeQuire had a game-high 39 points and eight rebounds earlier this week in a 70-56 Division 5 tournament win over Shepaug. The Warriors held the top scorer in North Branford history with over 1,800 points to just seven points.
"All of our focus was on him, keeping him off the boards and making it tough for him," Archambault said. "To hold him to seven points was the result of great team defense."
"Our kids played awesome," he said. "From the opening tip, they played out of their minds."
Brown scored 12 points for the Warriors while Tim Keating and Jack Rose had seven points each. Guard Chris Tenczar, who has been injured for most of the second half of the season, got on the floor and added a basket.
Canton will play Cromwell in the Division V semifinals at a neutral location on Tuesday, March 13. The last time the two teams met in the state tournament was in the 2007 Class S semifinals when Cromwell outlasted Canton with a 73-66 victory in overtime thanks to 11 three-point shots including two in OT.
NOTES: This will be Canton's seventh CIAC semifinal appearance. … Cormier's previous career high was 11 points earlier this week against Somers. Enns' previous career was 24 point. Twice, he scored 24 points a year ago against East Windsor and against St. Bernard in the state tournament. … Canton's last win over Cromwell came in December in the second week of the season, 53-39.

This Is What Bugatti Veyron En...
This Is What Bugatti Veyron Engine Assembly Line Looks Like
If you were to make a list of those most likely to succeed in terms of the cars you might find on a poster on the wall of a child's bedroom, the Bugatti Veyron might be one of those machines. There's just such a mystical element about the car that makes a major horsepower and has design that will catch your eye, no matter what other vehicles are within the same line of sight. Long story short, I guess you could say that there's just something really special about these cars that most people will agree upon. It's one of the few machines that everyone can set their differences down about and agree that it's just one amazing automobile.
With the car like that, you know there's going to be some serious time that goes into the design and engineering that make the machine come together like the Veyron and have the success that it does. With that in mind, I think it also goes without saying that there's a lot going on behind the scenes that people are simply unable to see which is definitely a necessary evil that goes into the construction of these things. One of these aspects is the assembly line where lots of the manual labor comes into play and you really start to see something that resembles a system that might make a car work.
If you follow along down in the video below, you'll be able to get the experience of seeing exactly what that assembly line processes looks like and how it brings this one-of-a-kind engine together to make the body that it sits in worthy of making its way to incredible speeds thanks to over 1000 hp. If you want to talk about a car that's built to rock, look no further than the beast of a Bugatti. The construction that we see here is where it all starts and therefore, say hello to phase one!

Raise your hand if you played "the floor is lava" as a kid. It's one of the simplest games you could play, jumping from sofa to sofa as you tried to avoid being "killed" by the "lava-filled floor". It's no surprise video games are full of variants on this idea, and most Super Mario games already feature...

Caleel+Hayden L.L.C. v. Jaye Pharmacy
The Complainant is Caleel+Hayden, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, with place of business in Denver, Colorado, United States of America (USA).
The Respondent is Jaye Pharmacy, with address in Sherman Oaks, California, USA.
2.	The Domain Name(s) and Registrar(s)
The disputed domain name is <cellexc.com>.
The registrar of the disputed domain name is Dotster, Inc., with business address in Vancouver, Washington, USA.
The essential procedural history of the administrative proceeding is as follows:
(a)	The Complainant initiated the proceeding by the filing of a complaint via e-mail received by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center ("WIPO") on December 21, 2001, and via courier mail received by WIPO on December 27, 2001. Complainant elected to have this dispute decided by a three-member panel, and paid the requisite filing fees due in connection with that election. On December 28, 2001, WIPO transmitted a Request for Registrar Verification to the registrar, Dotster, Inc., with the Registrar's Response received by WIPO on January 16, 2002.
(b)	Based on its initial receipt of the complaint from Complainant, Respondent transmitted a response to WIPO via e-mail received on January 8, 2002 (and subsequently received in hardcopy).
(c)	On January 18, 2002, WIPO formally transmitted notification of the complaint and commencement of the proceeding to Respondent via e-mail, telefax and courier mail. WIPO indicated to Respondent that the date for confirming the entirety of its response was February 7, 2002.
(d)	On February 4, 2002, WIPO received via e-mail a supplemental response from Respondent, and on February 7, 2002, WIPO received the supplemental response in hardcopy. Respondent transmitted its response and supplemental response to Complainant.
(e)	On February 8, 2002, WIPO received via e-mail (and subsequently in hardcopy) a reply of Complainant to Respondent's supplemental response. WIPO advised Complainant that the Panel appointed in this matter would have discretion as to whether the reply would be accepted and considered.
(f)	On February 11, 2002, WIPO received via e-mail from Respondent (and subsequently in hardcopy) an objection to Complainant's reply. On February 12, 2002, WIPO received via e-mail from Complainant (and subsequently in hardcopy) a reply to Respondent's objection, including a declaration by Simon Rosenfeld on behalf of Cellex-C International, Inc. On February 19, 2002, WIPO received via e-mail from Respondent (and subsequently in hardcopy) a further response and objection to Complainant's reply.
(g)	On March 8, 2002, following receipt of executed Statements of Acceptance and Declarations of Impartiality and Independence, WIPO appointed Frederick M. Abbott (presiding), Timothy D. Casey and Thomas D. Halket to serve as the Administrative Panel (the "Panel") in this matter. WIPO so notified Complainant and Respondent. WIPO notified the Panel that, absent exceptional circumstances, it would be required to forward its decision to WIPO by March 22, 2002. The Panel received electronic and hard copy files from WIPO.
(h)	Following notification from the Panel of circumstances requiring an extension of the date for decision in this matter, WIPO notified the parties that the projected date for a decision would be extended until March 29, 2002.
The Panel has not received any requests from Complainant or Respondent regarding further submissions, waivers or extensions of deadlines, and the Panel has not found it necessary to request any further information from the parties. The proceedings have been conducted in English.
The trademark as to which Complainant asserts rights in this matter, "CELLEX-C", is registered by a third party, Cellex-C International, Inc., a Canadian corporation. Cellex-C International Inc. is assignee of the "CELLEX-C" mark on the Principal Register at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) (Reg. No. 2092395, dated September 7, 1997, in International Class 05, covering medicated toilet preparations, as further specified). Cellex-C International is the holder of a parallel trademark registration for "CELLEX-C" in Canada. (Complaint, para. 13 and Annex D & E).
Complainant has furnished five redacted pages from a thirty-one page (not including appendices) Distribution Agreement, dated July 1, 1999, between itself and Cellex-C International (the "Manufacturer") that purports to appoint Complainant as exclusive distributor of a list of skin care products (which list was not included with the contract) in a defined "territory" (which was not specified in the redacted contract, but which was alleged by Complainant to cover 15 countries including the USA). Article 4.1 (Trademark) grants distributor the exclusive right to display the trademark (identified as Cellex-C in Schedule C) in the territory for the purpose of advertising, marketing and promoting the sale of the products. The Manufacturer reserved the right to use the mark in the territory consistent with the terms of the agreement. Article 4.1.1 provides that "The Manufacturer shall own all websites that include the trademark … in the website name, including <Cellexcusa.com> and the 800-Cellex-C toll-free number." Complainant is required to execute all documents necessary to give the foregoing website-related provision effect. Article 4.2 of the redacted contract provides, in reference to the Cellex-C trademark, that "The Distributor acknowledges and agrees that the Manufacturer is the owner of such Trademark and that the Distributor shall not and will not acquire any right, title or interest in any of the Trademark."
Complainant has furnished a document headed "Internet and Web Site Management Policy, Effective August 12, 1998" as "Schedule G" to the aforesaid redacted contract. According to that policy statement, "Web sites by all territory distributors, resellers and sub-distributors are to be under their company name; no right is granted for the use of the Cellex-C name to be included in any domain name (phonetically or otherwise), other than that owned or controlled by Cellex-C International". Also, "Each Cellex-C distributor is responsible for policing its accounts on the internet. It is the responsibility of the Cellex-C distributor for the territory to: … 4. To prevent the use of Cellex-C in the domain name (phonetically or otherwise similar) of any web site created by the reseller or subdistributor. … It is the responsibility of the distributor for the territory to cause its accounts to abide by the above policy and to take appropriate action against any account in their territory whenever there is default discovered by either their company or by Cellex-C International, Inc."
In its supplemental response, Respondent furnished the following allegedly missing text of the aforementioned contract:
"4.5 Commencing/Defending a Claim. The Manufacturer shall defend and otherwise respond to any actual or threatened claim that the Distributor's use of any of the Trademark infringes the rights of any third party or otherwise constitutes an act of unfair competition against the third party. The Distributor shall provide all reasonable assistance to the Manufacturer. During the Term, the Distributor shall promptly notify the Manufacturer of any activities of which the Distributor becomes aware, which activities may violate the rights of the Manufacturer in and to the Trademark. The Manufacturer shall make a claim or institute proceedings in respect of any suspected, threatened or actual violation of the rights of the Distributor in the Trademark. The Distributor shall cooperate with the Manufacturer in any such action or proceeding commenced by the Manufacturer and shall, at the request of the Manufacturer, join any such proceeding as a party, execute all documents necessary for such claim, proceedings or settlement and provide any evidence and available information to the manufacturer, and the Manufacturer shall reimburse the Distributor for all expenses reasonably incurred by the Distributor in cooperating as provided herein, including reasonable attorneys' fees."
Complainant acknowledged that Article 4.5 was a standard provision in the Manufacturer's Distribution Agreement and did not deny the existence of such a provision in its own contract with the Manufacturer. Rather, Complainant asserted that the provision had been redacted from the copy of the agreement provided to the Panel because Complainant viewed the substance of the provision to be irrelevant. To support this argument, Complainant provided Mr. Rosenfeld's declaration regarding Cellex-C International's position regarding Respondent's use of the domain name and the alleged intent of the parties to the Distribution Agreement.
According to the registrar's (Dotster, Inc.'s) verification response to WIPO, dated January 16, 2002, "JAYE PHARMACY" is the listed registrant of the domain name <cellexc.com>. The registrar's response indicates that the record of registration was created on May 19, 2000, and was last updated on April 30, 2001.
Respondent maintains an active commercial website at Internet address (URL) <www.cellexc.com> where it promotes and offers for sale various Cellex-C products. Respondent also maintains an active commercial website at <www.1800compound.com> where it promotes its services as a compounding pharmacy. (Complaint, Annexes G & I)
Respondent has purchased and apparently continues to purchase substantial quantities of Cellex-C products directly from Complainant. The most recent invoice submitted by Complainant shows a shipment of November 8, 2001, in the amount of $1912.08. (Complaint, Exhibit l)
Complainant, Respondent, and Cellex-C International have for more than a year exchanged correspondence regarding the disputed domain name and website operated by Respondent in connection with that name. The Panel does not consider it necessary to elaborate on that correspondence here. Suffice it to say that the parties accuse each other of bad faith conduct in connection with this matter.
The Service Agreement in effect between Respondent and Dotster, Inc. subjects Respondent to Dotster, Inc.'s dispute settlement policy, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, as adopted by ICANN on August 26, 1999, and with implementing documents approved by ICANN on October 24, 1999. The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy") requires that domain name registrants submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding conducted by an approved dispute resolution service provider, of which WIPO is one, regarding allegations of abusive domain name registration and use (Policy, paragraph 4(a)).
Complainant asserts that it has rights in the trademark "CELLEX-C" by virtue of its appointment as the exclusive distributor by the registered holder of that mark for a territory including the United States. Complainant asserts that its contract with the registered holder of the mark gives it the exclusive right to use the mark in the United States, subject to consistent use by the registered holder, and that the contract requires it "to bring actions such as this to counter unauthorized uses of the Trademark in a domain name, by their customers."
Complainant alleges that the disputed domain name <cellexc.com> is identical or confusingly similar to the mark in which it has rights.
Complainant refers to a prior WIPO panel report in which a licensee was determined to have sufficient rights in a trademark to have standing in an administrative proceeding under the Policy. (Hafele America Co. v. Hafele, LLC, WIPO Case No. D2000-1839, March 23, 2001).
Complainant asserts that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. It alleges that Respondent's status as a mere reseller of the trademark holder's products does not give it the right to use the mark in the domain name citing, inter alia, The Stanley Works v. Camp Creek Co., Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0113, April 13, 2000.
Complainant asserts that Respondent registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith. In particular, Complainant alleges that Respondent is using the mark in the domain name to divert Internet traffic to its website for commercial gain by creating confusion as to the source of products because Internet users will mistakenly assume that Respondent is the trademark holder, and will mistakenly assume that Respondent's website is operated by the trademark holder. Complainant notes that Respondent does not include a disclaimer on its website such as to indicate that it is not the trademark holder or that its website is not "official".
Complainant requests, in its own words:
"that the Administrative Panel appointed in this proceeding issue a decision directing the Registrar to transfer the domain name CELLEXC.COM to Complainant Caleel (to hold for the benefit of C-CI per the Distribution Agreement or to transfer to C-CI, per C-CI's instructions). Alternatively, Caleel requests that the Panel issue an order directing the Registrar to cancel Respondent's registration of the Domain Name."
Respondent asserts that	Complainant lacks rights in the mark such as to permit it to pursue these proceedings. Respondent alleges that Complainant has demonstrated bad faith by purporting to furnish the Panel with a copy of the relevant contract provisions relating to its rights in respect to Cellex-C International's trademark, but in fact omitting directly relevant language that denies it the rights it asserts.
Respondent states that there are a number of other resellers of Cellex-C products that use that trademark on their websites and that Complainant's action against Respondent is a selective vendetta.
Respondent argues that it is using the disputed domain name in connection with a commercial website that expressly acknowledges that Cellex-C is the registered trademark of Cellex-C International, Inc., and that this use of the mark in the disputed domain name does not violate the Policy.
Respondent asserts that its use of the mark in the disputed domain name does not confuse consumers as to the source of products because the products it sells are legitimately purchased from Complainant.
Respondent states that it has been selling Cellex-C products in the United States since 1993, and that it was the first retailer of such products for Cellex-C International, Inc. in the United States. Respondent asserts that its use of the mark in the United States predates its registration by the assignor to Cellex-C International.
Respondent asserts that it has invested considerable financial resources in creating and maintaining the <www.cellexc.com> website, that Cellex-C International, Inc. is aware of the website and does not object to it.
Respondent requests the Panel to reject Complainant's request to transfer or cancel the registration of the disputed domain name.
The Policy is addressed to resolving disputes concerning allegations of abusive domain name registration and use. The Panel will confine itself to making determinations necessary to resolve this administrative proceeding.
It is essential to dispute resolution proceedings that fundamental due process requirements be met. Such requirements include that a respondent have notice of proceedings that may substantially affect its rights. The Policy, and the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), establish procedures intended to ensure that respondents are given adequate notice of proceedings commenced against them, and a reasonable opportunity to respond (see, e.g., paragraph 2(a), Rules).
In this case, the Panel is satisfied that WIPO took all steps reasonably necessary to notify the Respondent of the filing of the complaint and initiation of these proceedings. Respondent has filed a detailed response to the complaint indicating that it received notice and was afforded an adequate opportunity to respond.
As a preliminary matter, the Panel notes that Respondent filed an initial and supplementary response prior to the due date for filing a response in this proceeding. Respondent was advised by WIPO in the notification of the complaint and commencement of the proceeding that it was entitled to file a supplemental response in addition to the response filed prior to formal notice of commencement of the proceeding. The Panel finds that the supplemental response was filed within the time period allowed by the Rules for filing a response, that WIPO acted in accordance with the Rules by notifying Respondent that it was entitled to file a supplemental response, and that no additional action need be taken by the Panel to admit that submission.
Complainant submitted a reply to Respondent's supplemental response primarily directed at explaining its omission of certain contract language alleged by Respondent to be relevant to the determination in this proceeding. Complainant added legal argumentation regarding the relationship between the relevant omitted provision and the portions of the redacted contract it provided, seeking to explain how a "standardized" provision was modified by an "expressly negotiated Schedule". Complainant also submits a declaration from a person said to be counsel for Cellex-C International, Inc., that takes issue with certain of Respondent's claims. Respondent has objected to the Panel's acceptance of Complainant's reply, and has sought to cast doubt on the reputation of the party whose declaration Complainant seeks to introduce.
While Panels have substantial discretion to accept additional submissions in administrative proceedings under the Policy and Rules, a complainant is ordinarily expected to anticipate legal arguments and the submission of factual information by a respondent that is reasonably foreseeable. In this instance, Complainant redacted the contract on which it relies for rights in a mark so as to eliminate a provision that was indeed relevant to the proceeding. It was then compelled to reply regarding that provision by Respondent's perhaps unanticipated access to a copy of the provision. Complainant asserts that Respondent's supplemental response contains unanticipated argumentation. While the Panel is disinclined to accept Complainant's reply because Complainant should have anticipated the arguments raised by Respondent in response to Complainant's failure to supply the Panel with all relevant portions of the contract, it sees no harm in doing so, especially since Complainant admits that it redacted Article 4.5 because it considered it to be "irrelevant to the proceeding." Complainant should not have withheld this information, and if anything, should have provided the information in its complaint and explained why the provision was not relevant with respect to its enforcement rights under the contract.
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy sets forth three elements that must be established by a complainant to merit a finding that a respondent has engaged in abusive domain name registration and use, and to obtain relief. These elements are that:
(i)	Respondent's domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and
(ii)	Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(iii)	Respondent's domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Each of the aforesaid three elements must be proved by a complainant to warrant relief.
Paragraph 4(a) (i) of the Policy requires that a Complainant establish "rights" in a trademark or service mark on which it is basing a claim of abusive domain name registration and use.
Complainant in this proceeding is not the holder of registrations in the United States and Canada of the trademark in which it asserts rights. It is a distributor of the trademark holder authorized to display the trademark for the purpose of advertising, marketing and promoting the sale of skin care products in the United States. The contract between Complainant and Cellex-C International, Inc. (the holder of the trademark registrations) only grants Complainant a limited exclusive license to the trademark and expressly provides at Article 4.2:
"The Distributor [Complainant] acknowledges and agrees that the Manufacturer [Cellex International] is the owner of such Trademark and that the Distributor shall not and will not acquire any right, title or interest in any of the Trademark."
The contract also expressly provides, in Article 4.5, the provision furnished to the Panel by Respondent, that the trademark holder is responsible for bringing any legal actions to enforce rights in the trademark. The trademark holder may require Complainant to join in such proceedings, but Complainant is not entitled to initiate them.
Complainant asserts that Schedule G to the contract requires it to initiate this proceeding. The Panel does not agree. What Schedule G requires of Complainant is:
"4. To prevent the use of Cellex-C in the domain name (phonetically or otherwise similar) of any web site created by the reseller or subdistributor.
… It is the responsibility of the distributor for the territory to cause its accounts to abide by the above policy and to take appropriate action against any account in their territory whenever there is default discovered by either their company or by Cellex-C International Inc."
Complainant supplies substantial quantities of Cellex-C products to Respondent. Appropriate action to cause Respondent (the "account") to act in accordance with the trademark holder's policy might well be to cease supplying it with products, but does not expressly include the right to enforce the trademark in legal or quasi-legal proceedings.
The present facts appear to be in contrast to the facts discussed by the Panel in Hafele America Co. v. Hafele, LLC, WIPO Case No. D2000-1839, March 23, 2001, which was cited by Complainant in support of its claim to standing in this Complaint. In Hafele America, as in this case, the complainant was also a distributor of the trademark owner, but unlike the present case, the complainant and the distributor were related parties and the complainant had acquired common law rights in the trademark. Hence, the complainant in Hafele America did not need to rely on its contract with the trademark holder to support its standing in the complaint. In the present situation, the contract between Complainant and the registered trademark holder indicates that the trademark holder has reserved all rights in the trademark to itself, which would presumably include any common law rights that could have accrued to Complainant by virtue of its use of the trademark (such as for other goods or services outside the scope of the license), and the trademark holder alone has reserved the right to initiate a claim based on infringement of those rights. The language in Article 4.5 omitted by Complainant was directly relevant to the enforcement rights expressly retained by the trademark holder and superceded any implied rights that could have been granted to Complainant by virtue of the language in Schedule G. As noted above, Complainant could have complied with its obligations under Schedule F of the contract without resorting to the filing of this Complaint.
Although the Panel has admitted Complainant's Reply to Respondent's Supplemental Response and objections, it need not rely on the statements provided in Mr. Rosenfeld's declaration because the language of the Distribution Agreement is clear on its face and requires no interpretation based on the alleged intent of the parties at the time of its drafting.
The Panel does not intend to suggest that a trademark licensee may not have the right to initiate a claim under the Policy. It need not address the issue in the abstract. In this proceeding, Complainant has failed to establish rights in the subject trademark because its contract with the licensor expressly denies it the relevant rights. Having failed to meet its burden of proof on the first element of Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy, the Panel sees no reason to proceed any further with additional facts or arguments presented in this matter and therefore rejects Complainant's request to transfer the disputed domain name to it, or to cancel the disputed domain name.
By this determination, the Panel does not make any suggestion as to the merits of any potential dispute between the trademark holder and Respondent.
The Panel determines that Complainant, Caleel+Hayden, L.L.C., has failed to establish rights in a trademark within the meaning of paragraph 4(a) (i) of the Policy. The Panel therefore rejects Complainant's request to order the registrar to transfer the disputed domain name from the Respondent, Jaye Pharmacy, to Complainant, or to cancel the disputed domain name.

About the year 1862, Henry Harlington Couse, one of the public spirited men of Waverly, established a cemetery on the south city limits of Waverly and named it Harlington after himself. In 1869, Mr. Couse appointed Ferdinand Lane as superintendent of his cemetery, which position he filled until he retired in 1896. At this time over 800 bodies were interred.
In the August 5, 1887 edition of the local newspaper an article noted that the cold storage vault was "being built in Harlington cemetery and would be used for the temporary reception of bodies when from any cause the regular modes of sepulture was not prepared."
In 1880 Mr. Couse died at which time he was succeeded as owner of Harlington by S.H. Curtis, his son-in-law.
In 1896, Ferdinand Lane was succeeded by his son, Clifford E. Lane, who with the help of the owner, S.H. Curtis, wrote the first rules and regulations of Harlington Cemetery, March 1897.
In 1921 The City of Waverly bought Harlington Cemetery from the S.H. Curtis Estate and appointed Clifford E. Lane as superintendent, which position he filled until his retirement, January 1, 1927, at which time Harlington contained 2,726 bodies.
In the May 5, 1922 edition of the local newspaper was the following article: "Improving Harlington Cemetery" The city of Waverly is preparing to make some very important improvements in Harlington cemetery this spring. This will be especially noticeable at the vault, which will be cemented inside and out, and the outside will be pebble dashed, not only the vault but the walls on either side of the doors, the east wall will be extended quite a distance and this extension will also be pebble dashed." The article continued, "This year the city council has determined to do all it possibly can to aid in this good work."
As of April 1, 1931 the cemetery contained 2,950 bodies. As of November 28, 2003 the cemetery had 7,330 burials.
The last time the vault was used was in the late 1960's.
