Franklin's 'old, old jail' remake to be a challenge
By Kevin Walters;
kewalters@tennessean.com;
FRANKLIN – The hands on the only clock left inside Franklin's "old, old" jail are forever stuck at 11:44.
A stopped clock is a fitting emblem for the 73-year-old former Bridge Street jail that's been left behind by the decades.
Ribbons of flaking paint hang from its walls. Rust cakes metal surfaces. Upstairs, rainwater poured through its leaking roof on a recent freezing day, leaving sheets of ice on the floor where prisoners' cells once stood.
The building's flaws aren't just cosmetic. Last used as a jail in 1973, the two-story Art Deco-style building has no working electricity or plumbing. Its walls are riddled with asbestos, lead paint and mold. And the building took on more than 2 feet of water during the May 2010 flood.
Yet where most see an eyesore, the "old, old" jail's owners at the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County envision its potential. For the nonprofit's leaders, the city's future is brighter if they can rescue another building — even a jail — from the brink of becoming a permanent part of Franklin's past.
"This was a building that I said only a preservationist could love," said Cyril Stewart, foundation president, picking his way through the jail's chilly darkness. "It really speaks to our mission. We didn't see anybody else who was going to save this building and was going to bring it back."
It's called the "old, old" jail because there once were three jails on Bridge Street. One was even older, and a third was built more recently.
Talk of overhauling the jail comes in the midst of renewed interest in downtown Franklin redevelopment. Developers Rod Heller and Jay Franks hope to break ground this year on an $80 million mixed-use development on the next block that will include a boutique hotel, living, retail and restaurant space.
The prospect of both projects thrills Delores Lynch, co-owner of Riverside Antiques and Home Decor because it brings attention to an area that has seen few major upgrades even as other parts of downtown have been brought to postcard perfection.
"It will certainly will be an enhancement for this end of town," Lynch said.
Though the Heritage Foundation has been successful at rescuing, rehabilitating and raising awareness for historic preservation, giving the old jail a new life could be the biggest challenge the foundation has faced.
"We are going to need a complete revitalization of a building that most anybody else says needs to be torn down," foundation Executive Director Mary Pearce said. Most people would say it needs a bulldozer."
Built in 1941 for $25,000, the jail was built by its Works Progress Administration-era designers to do one thing: Hold prisoners.
"No one has any sympathy for criminals and bad architecture," said Rick Warwick, foundation historian. "It's almost Soviet in a way. It's no frills. It's all concrete block and iron, even the windows are metal. The doors are steel. But it represents a period of our history."
After buying the building last year from the city for $25,000 to use as its future offices, foundation supporters say they'll need millions of dollarsto turn an all-but-forgotten relic into modern, environmentally friendly office space.
"The old, old jail is the ultimate challenge," Pearce said. "It's the biggest opportunity that we've had to practice what we've preached.
Pearce said they had an early fundraising goal of $1.5 million, but the work will cost much more. Final renovation figures are not set.
Pearce and the foundation have tackled pricey renovation projects before. In 2011, the foundation reopened the Franklin Theatre after piecing together almost $9 million in donations to refurbish the Main Street movie house into a multi-use venue for movies and live performances.
Walking through the jail's dark, bone-chilling rooms, she concedes the foundation faces a steeper challenge with the former jail than the theater.
The foundation will soon be rolling out its "Big House for Historic Preservation" fundraising campaign, featuring donated television commercials with "American Pickers" star and Leiper's Fork resident Mike Wolfe.
"Anything new would not have the infinite number of stories that that place has," said Aubrey Preston, foundation supporter and businessman. "When it's all said and done, we're going to be so happy that we advocated for the power of the stories that the building can tell. If we tear it down, those stories will be gone."
The foundation has turned to former county sheriff Fleming Williams, 86, who was the last sheriff to use the building as a jail. Williams, who's recounted his 20-year law enforcement career in a book, convinced county officials at the time to move out of the 1941-jail and build a new jail next door that was finished off by the 2010 flood.
Williams can vividly recall the sometimes hilarious, sometimes hair-raising stories of law enforcement in Williamson County back then, such as the time he shot a mirror out of a prisoner's hand with his .357.
"If they can do it without spending any of the taxpayers' money, I say do it," Williams said.
Inside the building, much is out-of-date, broken and past its prime. But Pearce even has plans for things in the building that no one would want, such as its rusted furnace.
"We're going to make it into a chandelier," Pearce said.

Why is it called the 'old, old' jail?
There were once three county jails on Bridge Street. The oldest jail (which would be called the "old, old, old jail") was built at 108 Bridge St. in 1905. In recent years, the privately owned brick building has been used as restaurant space for a variety of restaurants. In 2011, restaurateur Jason McConnell opened his McConnell House event venue in the building.
Next door is the Art Deco "old, old jail," which was built in 1941. That building, now owned by the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County, closed in 1973.
By then, county officials had built another jail next door to the "old, old" jail, which they eventually left for the county's current jail off Columbia Avenue. That "old jail" was torn down by the city of Franklin after the 2010 flood, leaving a parking area.
Timeline for Franklin's 'old, old jail':
1941: The jail opens on Bridge Street, replacing an older facility located next door. Some $2,000 of the $25,000 cost is borne by the Works Project Administration, which digs the basement and quarries the stone. Cells for men and women are segregated by race.
1960s, '70s: The jail houses 25-30 prisoners at a time, most serving sentences of 30 – 60 days. Prisoners do the cooking and cleaning.
1973: The jail closes. The county has outgrown the jail and moves into a newer structure located next door.
1973-2003: The closed jail takes on a number of new purposes, including a highway patrol outpost, an employment office, the county archives, and book storage for the school system.
2003: The building is permanently vacated.
2007: The city and Williamson County agree to swap Franklin's former water source, the 280-acre "Springs property" for the two former county jails on Bridge Street, the Five Points post office building and land on Eddy Lane.
2010: Franklin declares the two Bridge Street jails as surplus property but only draws one offer to buy the building, which is rejected.
2013: Using a $25,000 donation, the Heritage Foundation buys the "old, old" jail.

The current show at the MMAS Black box theatre is the 1991 Pulitzer Prize winning, Neil Simon show, "Lost in Yonkers''. Set in 1942, the show examines the relationships in the emotionally crippled Kurnitz family. Simon shows why the five adults in this show have become the way they are and how it affects the two teenage boys left in their midst. Director Mike Kiernan mixes the comic and dramatic moments perfectly leaving the audience laughing and crying at the appropriate times. He and his seven performers make this a must see show of the autumn season.
The cast is lead by Maggie Nichols who plays Bella, an affectionate 35 year old who is mildly retarded. She wants the same things normal women want but her mother smothers her with a stern unbending hand. Maggie brings great warmth, humor and pathos to the role of Bella. She makes the audience cry while she pleads with her family about marrying a movie usher and makes them cheer her on when she finally stands up to her overbearing mother to let her live her life to the fullest. Maggie's portrayal of Bella is superb and she shines in this role. Beth Goldman makes the German monster grandma into a powerful character. Her bitchy, mean-spirited behavior hides her true hurt and anger at the death of her young son and daughter many years ago. Beth's strong acting makes you dislike this horrible woman until you find out the true cause of her behavior and she shows her vulnerability. Both Maggie and Beth's interactions with each other and the rest of the cast are wonderful and they set the standards for the others to follow. The youngest members of the cast are marvelous in their roles. Petr Favazza, a 15 year old as Jay and Tim Traversy, a 13 year old as Arty as the boys left to live with their terrible, unemotional grandmother after the death of their mother, shine in their time on stage.(Tim's biggest laugh comes with the line a horse fell on Grandma's foot and she hasn't taken an aspirin since.) Both these young actors handle their huge amount of dialogue with the ease of veteran performers. Petr and Tim make the humor, pathos and fright of their plight in Yonkers a joy to watch. They act very naturally in their roles and make the audience believe they could be brothers in real life, too. Two multitalented boys who have a bright future in the theatre. Keep your eye on them.
The other dysfunctional members of the family are the mobster, Uncle Louie, the speech impaired, Aunt Gert and the boy's emotional father, Eddie.Fred Armstrong makes Louie into a scene stealer with his swagger and tough talk to the boys. He brings the comic aspect out in this crazy family setting and shows he still has a soft spot when he helps Bella out with her boyfriend by giving her the money she needs. Michelle Monti as Gert is hilarious. Her character's speech defect of breathing in and out on her lines leads the audience into gales of laughter. Michelle shows her caring to Bella with a hug at the close of this emotion packed scene. Paul Dixon plays Eddie, the father with great warmth and shows off his humorous side during the letter scenes on the train. He makes you feel for him during the early moments with his despair at his wife's death, his leaving of the boys with his awful mother and the financial troubles that led him into this situation. Director Kiernan creates the right atmosphere for an apartment in the 1940's from the decor to the costumes to the musical background. He is aided by Alan Conway, his hard working stage manager who keeps things running smoothly while running light and sound. The set by Michael Duarte and Glenn Fournier includes a living room set with a dining area and the necessary 5 doors with one leading downstairs to the ice-cream shop is well done. The artistic detailing on the set of the paneling and baseboard is by Glenn and the authentic costumes are by Mary Jane McCool. So for an excellent Neil Simon show be sure to catch "Lost in Yonkers". (This was one of my favorite shows I directed back in 2002.) Ken and Glenn also did a fabulous job renovating the theater's expansion to include a larger audience area for the show, a huge lobby, studio area, office space and an art gallery. Bravo on the renovations!

He is known as the first person to successfully separate twins born joined at the back of the head. In Healing Hands, Carson reveals what difference his Christian faith has made in his amazing successes. He authored the book "America the Beautiful" (2013), where he wrote: "I believe it is a very good idea for physicians, scientists, engineers, and others trained to make decisions based on facts and empirical data to get involved in the political arena.

He is known for praying "Lord, make seeing eyes blind." before he stopped at the border of a communist country for his car to be inspected.
Significant contribution – Challenging the Chinese government towards the love of Jesus for China.
Yun became known when his book, The Heavenly Man was released in 2002. Brother Yun was prepared in his early years to become a prominent leader in China's secret house-church movement. The Heavenly Man is a window on the extreme persecution of Christians in the East that has too often gone unnoticed by those in the West.
After escaping from China, Yun took asylum in Germany. In 2001 he was imprisoned in Myanmar for seven months. As a leader of the "Back to Jerusalem Movement", Yun seeks to send thousands of missionaries out from China into the countries between China and Israel, which are among the least-Christianised of the world.
Significant contribution – Children's book that led to knowing Jesus.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. He wrote more than thirty books, including the famous Chronicles of Narnia.

Significant contribution – Influencing the leadership of distinguished politicians & changing the landscape of prison inmates.
Colson was infamously a household name for his role in the Watergate scandal, which led to his spiritual journey and awakening. Experiencing a personal rebirth during the legal proceedings, Nixon's famous hatchet man (1931-2012) pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and was the first to serve the time of all those convicted. Colson became an outspoken Christian and have influenced the decision of politicians. He founded the Prison Fellowship that ministers to inmates.
Prison Fellowship equips wardens, prison staff, and volunteers, including men and women serving time, to create safer, more rehabilitative prisons that prepare prisoners to return to their communities as good neighbors. They also advocate for a criminal justice system that upholds restorative values, so that communities are safer, victims are respected, and those who have caused harm are transformed.
Significant contribution – The great revival of 18th century England.
Spurgeon (1834-1892) is known for his extraordinary ability as an English preacher in 19th century England. His Metropolitan Tabernacle would seat 5,000 and hold another 1,000. Spurgeon to date remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations. He is known as the "Prince of Preachers" and has transformed and saved the souls of thousands.
When he died, some 100,000 lined the streets as a funeral parade two miles long followed his hearse from the Tabernacle to the cemetery. Flags flew at half-staff and shops and pubs were closed. He was influential in transforming the lives of a nation towards Christ.
Significant contribution – Saved the lives of nearly 800 Jewish children.
A Dutch family of watchmakers, Corrie joins the Resistance against the Nazis, creating a false wall in Corrie's bedroom to hide Jews. When the Nazis eventually raided the home, all the hidden Jews remained concealed, but the ten Booms were taken away to the prison camp.

Significant contribution – Witnessing in the unreached New Guinea.
While Darlene Deibler Rose and her husband were serving as missionaries in Papua New Guinea during World War II, they were captured by the Japanese and placed in separate prison camps. Though her husband died in his camp, Rose amazingly survived four years and was liberated. Her life is full of miracles and her testimony and perseverance have led many know Christ.
She lived nearly thirty years in New Guinea as a Christian missionary. Her unshakable faith in Jesus is an inspiration to many Christians who have read her book.
Significant contribution – Died young, but his legacy lives through his inspiring journals of faith.
David Brainerd (1718-1747) was expelled from the Yale University. Appearing to have lost a chance of success, he instead spent the rest of his brief life preaching the gospel to various American Indian peoples in New Jersey and neighboring states. Though he died of tuberculosis at the age of 29, his journals have over the centuries been an exhortation to prayer and Christian commitment for many key missionary figures.
Significant contribution – Saving the lives of teenage addicts in the US.
In 1958, David Wilkerson (1931-2011) felt the call to leave his rural Pennsylvania upbringing and share the hope of the gospel with gang members and drug addicts in New York City. His 1963 book, The Cross and the Switchblade, is a bestseller (50 million copies) book that recounts the story of Nicky Cruz, who turned from gang life to Christ and Christian ministry.
Wilkerson is known as founder of Teen Challenge Ministry, an addiction recovery program. This ministry plays an important role in helping American families deal with problems in alcohol, cocaine, meth, and other drug abuses.
Significant contribution – A Pastor, martyr, prophet, and a spy who defied the Nazi.
As the Nazis began to overtake Europe in 1939, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a comfortable ocean's length away from his homeland, invited to teach at New York City's Union Theological Seminary. But he was not at ease and chose to return to his homeland to show fellow Christians and countrymen how the gospel leads one to fight for justice, even if by subversive means.
In his final days in a German concentration camp, his legacy as a theologian and activist continues to inspire other Christian leaders to stand ground in the many adversities that great Christian leaders face in the midsts of a ravenous world.
Significant contribution – Beacon of hope, drawing families towards Christ.
Through television exposure, the Duggars have become America's best-known mega-family, with ten sons and nine daughters. Perhaps just a reality show to some, their daily struggles and learnings have influenced many Americans, and people outside the US know how to deal with real life issues.
Guided with spiritual truths, the Duggar's Christian faith have strengthened many parents and children struggling with raising their families and finding victory, hope, and joy through faith in Jesus.
Significant contribution – Inspiring Olympian.
Lidell's life (1902-1945) was made famous by the 1981 film, Chariots of Fire (Academy Award, Best Picture). Lidell was a Scottish athlete with exceptional speed, winning the 400 meters at the 1924 Paris Olympics. But as McCasland shows, Liddell was ultimately driven by what he saw as a greater calling and gave up running full-time to serve as a missionary in China.
He became popular when he announced he could not run in the Olympic race because the finals were scheduled on a Sunday. Sunday was a day of worship and rest for Eric. He would not run even if he were his country's only hope of winning an Olympic gold medal. This made the Scottish people very upset with him. They wrote bad things about him in the newspaper and some called him a traitor. But Eric stood firm. He had never run on Sunday and never would, not even for an Olympic gold medal.
With very little time remaining before the Olympics began, Eric trained and qualified for another race that was not scheduled on a Sunday. Eric knew his chance of winning the 400-meter race was slim because two of the runners in this race had set world record times. In addition, on the day of the race, Eric was assigned the worst lane. But a note in his pocket encouraged him. The team trainer had given it to him before he left his hotel room. It read, "He who honors Him, He (God) will honor." Liddell knew his decision not to run on Sunday honored God.
Significant contribution – Helper of orphans and children, demonstrated by outstanding faith.
Muller is known as the "helper of orphans" in 19th century England. He never asked anyone for monetary assistance despite tough times. His autobiography tells of incredible ways in which, through continuous prayer, needs of the children under his care were met.
What is less known about him is his pre-Christian reputation as a thief, as well as his later preaching tours which took him to forty-two countries. His testimony of faith remains a great example and inspiration of many church leaders today.
Significant contribution – The great awakening.
Significant contribution – Beloved protector of the orphans in China.
She saved orphans and adopted several herself, intervening in a volatile prison riot and advocating prison reform, risking her life many times to help those in need.
Aylward led over 100 orphans to safety over the mountains during WW2. She won the hearts of the Chinese people. When she was denied reentry to mainland China, she went to Taiwan instead and founded the Gladys Aylward Orphanage, and worked there until her death in 1970.
Significant contribution – The most influential Christian missionary.
Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) spent 51 years in ministry to China as a preacher, translator, author, and visionary, and is widely considered one of the most influential Christian missionaries ever. Hudson Taylor's book, Spiritual Secret provides an intimate look at what drove Taylor to accomplish so much and influence so many – including abiding trust in God and self-denying allegiance to those whom he served.
Significant contribution – God's power that transformed the lives of Balangao tribe of the Philippines.
Shetler endured the slow and arduous task of learning the Balangao language of the Philippines and translating the Bible for this group of unreached people. The result was a spiritual showdown in which the people were forced to see that God's power through his Word was stronger than the spirits who constantly demanded more sacrifices. In her book, "And the Word Came With Power," she accounts how Christians do have access to God's powers in witnessing for Jesus.
Bunyan (1628-1688), author of the famous allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress, opens a window onto his existential crisis in coming to Christian faith. He describes how, as a young man, he lived a self-centered life of open rebellion against God, and even in times of conviction, doubted that God's grace was sufficient to overcome his state. He eventually gave in and went on to minister as a preacher and write one of the enduring classics of the Christian faith.
Significant contribution – Changing the mindset and giving hope to the disabled.
A diving accident put Joni in a wheelchair at the age of 17, unable to move from the shoulders down. Learning to paint with her mouth, she became an accomplished artist and founded Joni and Friends to help the disabled. Now consider a classic, her book An Unforgettable Story, is about the triumph of faith has sold 3,000,000 copies.
Joni has encouraged other people with disability to stand up, face their fate, and accomplish the greater things in life.
Significant contribution – The rise of Christian pop.
In Keith's biography, No Compromise, his widow Melody brings us from Green's conversion to Jesus out of California's hippie music scene through his rise as a Christian pop star and his tragic death at the age of 28, along with two of his children. Those who read this book gained a sense of why Green was such a polarizing figure. His exceptional musical talent and radical simplicity of faith coupled with a sometimes scathingly critical spirit over what he saw as compromises to Christian holiness and the purity of the gospel.
Significant contribution – A testimony of forgiveness that has shaken unforgiving Christians.
Louis Silvie "Louie" Zamperini was a US prisoner of war survivor in World War II, a Christian evangelist and an Olympic distance runner. We should take inspiration from his unbelievable survival story from a troubled child to Olympic runner to downed Bombardier lost forty-six days at sea to tortured Japanese prisoner of war to born-again Christian.
Significant contribution – The Protestant movement.
Luther's is perhaps the most popular reformer of the Catholic faith. While it was not his intention to break Roman Catholicism, he wanted people to know the real truth about God's salvation. His thesis dismantled Rome's claws and allowed true followers of Jesus to know "true faith." He aligned good works as a result and not a cause for salvation, and that penance and church membership is by no means a way to heaven.
Significant contribution – Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus in the Muslim world.
A former Muslim gives an insider's account of Muslim life and theology and his conversion to Christianity. Qureshi prided himself on his ability to take apart the Christian worldview, until a fateful day when he met a Christian who at last was able to defend his faith.
Qureshi now lectures and debates at public and private universities throughout the world, explaining his path to faith in Christ through historical reasoning and spiritual encounter. As a result, many Muslims have come to the saving knowledge of who the real Jesus is.
Significant contribution – Influencing the US Senate.
At the age of 24, a poor Scottish immigrant named Peter Marshall (1902-1949) came to the United States and rose to renown as a preacher, later becoming Chaplain of the United States Senate.

Significant contribution – Introducing miracles in India through the power of Jesus.
Sundar Singh (1889-1929) was born into Sikhism in northern India, persecuting Christians around him, until a vision of Jesus Christ as a young suicidal teen prompted him to do an about-face. He took up the life of a wandering Christian evangelist in a Hindu's attire throughout India, Tibet, and Afghanistan.
Sundar Singh had miraculous experiences, including power over disease and animals. The evangelist that left a singular mark on IndianChristianity was last seen in 1929 as he departed for a mission in the Tibetan foothills.
Steve Saint's missionary father was murdered in 1956 in Ecuador during an attempt to make contact with an isolated tribe. His unbelievable story of forgiveness and reconciliation became his ultimate witness as a Christ follower. The same people group (where his father was murdered) invited him and his family to return and live among them in Ecuador.
Particularly striking is the development of a close friendship with one of the men who murdered his father, as well as his recounting of the events from the cultural perspective of the tribe. The book inspired a motion picture of the same name in 2006.
Significant contribution – Witnessing in NFL.
In 2007, Dungy became the first African-Amercian NFL coach to win the Super Bowl and had taken his team to the playoffs eight out of ten seasons previous to that year. More impressive than his accomplishments on the field is the respect Coach Dungy has earned for being a man of integrity.
Dungy continues to witness for Jesus through his book Quiet Strength, that reveals the secrets to his success, practices, and priorities that have kept him on track despite overwhelming obstacles, including personal trials, firings, and stereotypes.
Significant contribution – Father of modern missions.
Carey (1761-1834) is known as the father of modern missions. He was a British Christian missionary, Baptist minister, translator, social reformer and cultural anthropologist.

He spent 41 years in India and translated the Bible into Sanskrit, Bengali, and other languages.
Significant contribution – Stood on faith, against his atheist mother.
Murray is the son of the famous atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair, whose 1963 victory at the Supreme Court banned prayer in public schools. In his book My Life Without God, The account gives an intimate picture of the dysfunction of the home, including William being unaware that Madalyn was his mother for the first several years of his life.
After struggles with crime and drugs, he became a Christian at the age of 30. His mother and brother were later murdered. William exposed the lies of Atheism that brought many people to faith in Christ. Murray is often used as an illustration of the faulty and deceptive Atheism in America.
Significant contribution – Authentic Bible translation.
Tyndale (c. 1494-1536) left England, where it was illegal to possess a Bible in the vernacular, to produce the first English translation of the Old and New Testaments, translated directly from Hebrew and Greek. It was not an easy task for Tyndale who faced death and ridicule. His Bible translation has inspired many other Bible versions used in different languages.
Significant contribution – A heroic campaign that saved thousands of lives from slavery.
Wilberforce is Britain's most famous 19th-century politician. Born into luxury and privilege, he spent his life confronting the moral and social problems of his country. Amidst bitter opposition, Wilberforce won his fight to abolish British homeland slavery in 1807, and British colonial slavery in 1833. His story is recounted in the highly acclaimed 2006 movie, "Amazing Grace".
He is dubbed as "the prime minister of a cabinet of philanthropists" and at one time supported 69 philanthropic causes. He gave away one-quarter of his annual income to the poor. He fought on behalf of chimney sweeps, single mothers, Sunday schools, orphans, and juvenile delinquents. William Wilberforce helped found parachurch groups like the Society for Bettering the Cause of the Poor, the Church Missionary Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society, and the Antislavery Society.


The African National Congress (ANC) in the Eastern Cape says it has closely followed developments around the strike of municipal workers at Buffalo City Municipality led by the South African Municipal Worker's Union (SAMWU) over wages and related issues.
"The strike is an inherent right enshrined into the Constitution as part of the constitutional democracy.
"What is of concern to the citizens of Buffalo City Municipality has been violent acts and acts of sabotage of essential services, trashing and littering of garbage in the streets, worse being setting alight of valuable municipal properties," said ANC Eastern Cape Provincial Secretary, Lulama Ngcukayitobi.
"We know as a matter of fact that SAMWU has distanced itself from such acts, but it puzzles how it becomes a coincidence that such acts which undermines a democratic state happen exactly at the same time that the strike action happens."
Ngcukayitobi said that these actions undermine the very essence and legitimacy of the demands from the workers.
"The leadership should do what ever it takes to isolate the criminals who continue hiding behind strike actions to pursue criminal activities which doesn't enhance the standing of the Union in the eyes of the public and the society," he added.
"It is our take that the intention of these vandals who act with impunity are part of a counter revolutionary cohort, hiding behind progressive unions working to divide the very organisation and deplete its hegemony."
The ANC said that it is urging both SAMWU and the Management of the Buffalo City Municipality to exhaustively engage constructively and in the interest of all the role players, workers, the institution called Buffalo City Municipality and "always have interest of our people - who are the ultimate custodian of that municipality".
"We believe that both warring parties have the necessary leadership capabilities to resolve the impasse , and we further believe that they have tools in their disposal which can be used to broker the impasse," Ngcukayitobi described.
"There are many credible institutions that both parties can agree to use for the purposes of facilitating an agreement.
"Workers are an asset to any institution, without a good workforce no institution will ever be capacitated enough to discharge its mission , so is the necessity to treat such a workforce with dignity and remunerate it accordingly."
He added that the immediate question posed by the dispute is the need to develop an effective wage policy,including the relationship between the municipality's budgetary processes and wage negotiations.
"We once again call for both parties to prioritize finding a lasting solution to the current impasse. We further call for the law enforcement agencies to ensure that the state property is protected and so are the citizens rights," Ngcukayitobi said.
"We further call for the police to investigate all acts of arson, intimidation and destruction of property and all those involved must be prosecuted.
"Once again the Political leadership of Buffalo City Municipality and leadership of SAMWU must provide leadership."

The Celeritas features a stout body, curved outline, mild rocker that blends from the center to the tail. It's a stable ride that planes easily and has good upwind and light wind performance. For 2017, we've updated the classic thumb tail with a wing, which frees up the tail for a more snappy feel during turns.
Large carbon stringer patches on the top and bottom give the board strength where it's needed while keeping overall weight down. Additional carbon on the tail prevents breakage from heel impact.
The Tyrant's slender short board profile is designed for high-powered, high-speed, high-performance wave riding. Its rocker profile and rounded squash tail favor aggressive heel-toe edging, snap off the lip and locked-in bottom turns.
SIZE: 6'0" x 18 1/4" x 2 1/4"
Unorthodox by design and radical by performance, the 2016 Screamer appeals to the new-era of kiters who want both solid wave performance and progressive freestyle capabilities out of the same surfboard.
The board's unique shape is based on Slingshot's T-Rex design, the most notable feature of which is a wide, snub-nose.
Offered in 5'2", 5'4" and, new to 2016, 5'6" lengths, the Screamer's stubby shape significantly reduces front-end weight, thus making strapless airs, spins and flip tricks easier than with more traditional shapes.
Meanwhile, the board's parallel rail outline, "pulled-in" thumb tail and single-concave rocker make it a fast, stable and slashy choice for all-around wave riding.
New this year, the stomp pad and tail inserts have been moved back over the fins to allow riders a more aggressive stance and attack, whether riding strapless strapped-in.
A 5'6" length was also added to the lineup, providing an excellent option for lower wind, smaller swell or larger riders.
Back by popular demand for all of Slingshot's 2016 surfboards is the three-fin setup incorporating the innovative new FCSII keyless fin system that enables riders to insert and remove fins with ease, and without the need for tools.
The Screamer also comes with a set of Slingshot's quick-adjust surf straps.

Mandatory Solar Energy Systems: How Berlin is Taking Steps Towards Climate Protection
Starting 2023, Berlin plans to make solar energy systems compulsory for climate protection in accordance to the Berlin Solar Act. New buildings are mandated to install a photovoltaic (PV) or solar system on their roofs, as part of a strategy to source a quarter of the German capital's power from solar by mid-century. The solar mandate will also be valid for already existing buildings where the roofs are to be substantially renovated.
"With our solar law, a Solarpflicht (solar mandate) for all new buildings and for existing buildings with fundamental roof renovation comes from 2023 on," energy senator (minister) Ramona Pop said. "Berlin has many roofs and therefore a lot of potential for solar energy. We want to use that, because Berlin needs more photovoltaic systems to become climate neutral."
Exceptions from this obligation will be made for roofs facing north or where installing solar panels is technically impossible.
The US state of California has also recently adopted a solar mandate for most new homes. In Germany, the states of Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hamburg also plan or consider solar mandates from next year or 2023 on. With the Philippines more ideally situated near the equator, a law mandating solar energy systems for homes and business would be a huge step forward for the country's goal to reduce emissions by 75% by 2030.

The shirt design is the corporate logo of Chain Mail International, the business featured in the film. Bill even made the company website, where you can see a preview of the film and read the corporate history. The whole movie will go up this evening or tomorrow either there or at Tohubohu Productions. Both of my kids have roles, and I'm in it as an employee at the company party. Can you find me?

Indonesia is a rich nation and it is the home of tons of islands. One of the best references is Raja Ampat Regency, which is part of West Papua Province. There is a legendary island called Pef! This simple and beautiful island becomes travelers' choice when it comes to stunning bays and water sports. The location is near to Gam, Fam, and Wayag Island. No wonder, it often becomes a checkpoint for island hopping. Some locals even call it the mini version of Raja Ampat, due to its formation of small islands. It is a worthy vacation destination, for sure.
Many types of activities can be done in Pef Island. For example, it is nature adventure. That means tourists would get around the island and enjoy numerous types of animals and natural objects. As for reference, there are majestic reefs, which often become a background for photography. Next, it is time to visit the mangroves and unspoiled forests. Some parts of the island even offer a hiking opportunity to visitors. Some wild animals are also seen in that location. These include cuscus, monitor lizards, and local birds.
The next attraction of Pef Island is the legend. It is said there was a king living in the island. Someday, he overheard people talking about rebellion. Due to his sadness and fury, he hit the cliffs with his hands wrathfully. As the result, the land is scattered and formed several bays and islets. He even said that he would keep his eyes on the island. In fact, there is his hand print, imprinted on the limestone near the shoreline. No wonder, this becomes one of the best lures of the island.
What's next? Pef Island also offers some perfect locations to enjoy the sunset. People can even explore those locations using a kayak, including the route to mangroves. On top of that, there is a hidden lake, located near to the mangrove forests. With a little bit effort, everyone is able to explore the island wholeheartedly. Also, it requires some money to rent the kayak or canoe (kayak tour).
From Jakarta, tourists should take an airplane to Marinda Airport, which is located in Waisai City. Once they get there, it is time to reach nearby port and ride a speedboat to Pef Island. It is a long voyage, so they need to prepare some snacks and bottled drink beforehand. Not to mention it takes much money, either to rent a resort room or facilities.
