Township Committee sets public hearing on ordinance for Cranbury Station Hamlet Historic District
ANDREW HARRISON, Staff Writer
Cranbury's Township Committee will hold a public hearing in December for an ordinance that would codify the creation of the Cranbury Station Hamlet Historic District.
If approved, the ordinance would also codify modifications made to the boundaries of the existing Cranbury Village Historic District. The public hearing takes place at a Township Committee meeting on Dec. 13.
The Cranbury Station Hamlet Historic District will consist of four homes on the west side of Halsey Reed Road and south of the joined connection with Station Road. They are 96 and 96A Halsey Reed Road, 92 Halsey Reed Road, 90 Halsey Reed Road and 88 Halsey Reed Road.
The homes date to the mid-19th century and they abut the Camden and Amboy railroad track.
Cranbury Station hamlet still contains the former railroad station house which was on the Camden and Amboy branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The hamlet is an unincorporated community of Cranbury Township that borders Monroe Township and contains Halsey Reed Road. The railroad established a station in Cranbury at this location in the 1830s and took passengers from New York and Philadelphia. By 1880, a hamlet had grown up around Cranbury Station.
Cranbury Station residents had been seeking to preserve the area as an historic district for years.
Back in July, the Cranbury Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) recommended to the Planning Board that the Cranbury Station hamlet be designated as a historic district and went on to forward their recommendations for adoption to the Township Committee. A list of properties was recommended for inclusion in the Cranbury Station Historic District, according to amendment and ordinance documents.
A list of properties would also be recommended for the existing Village Historic District. The HPC assessed certain properties in the existing Village Historic District buffer and Historic District. The modifications recommended include properties where a portion of the lot is in the Historic District and the rest of the property is outside of the historic buffer.
Properties include 1 Prospect Street, 5 Prospect Street, 23 N. Main St., 12A, B and C Station Road, Brainerd Lake, and 22 Station Road.
There are portions recommended to be removed, which are a portion of 38A Maplewood Avenue (a driveway to Village Park) and a portion of 24 Wynnewood Drive (section of Cranbury Brook Preserve.)
The Planning Board will be conducting a consistency review of the ordinance at it body's Dec. 2 meeting, prior to the public hearing on Dec. 13.

Contact Central Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Attorney Lee S. Cohen today for your FREE CONSULTATION.
In 1972, the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania created a special program called Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, or ARD. This program allows for the pre-trial disposition of certain cases where the district attorney agrees to suspend prosecution if a defendant successfully participates in a rehabilitative program. ARD is designed to rehabilitate criminal offenders, and to streamline the disposition of criminal charges so that defendants have the potential to eliminate the need for time-consuming and costly court proceedings and trials. However, to be eligible for this program you must meet certain criteria. Avoid the expensive and lengthy court process and contact Central Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Attorney Lee S. Cohen today to determine whether you and your case might qualify for ARD.
As mentioned above, whether a criminal case qualifies for the ARD program is at the discretion of the district attorney. However, the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code and Rules of Criminal Procedure provide the sole criteria for allowing those charged with driving under the influence into the ARD program.
The intent of the ARD program is to encourage criminal offenders to start anew with a clean slate after they participate in treatment and rehabilitation. The conditions imposed by the ARD program are sometimes the same as those for probation, including restitution and costs. The Pennsylvania courts have broad authority to modify these conditions and sometimes even county paroles have authority to provide specific terms of the ARD program. The program also offers offenders the possibility of wiping the crime from their record upon successful completion. After successful completion of the program, the charges are usually dismissed by order of the court. Since placement in the ARD program precludes a finding of guilt, completion of the program will ordinarily entitle a defendant to move for expungement of the arrest record and participation in the ARD program.
Also, if a defendant does not successfully finish the ARD program successfully, the district attorney may ask the court to terminate the program. If the court terminates the program, the district attorney may then prosecute the defendant for the charged offense as if the defendant never participated in the ARD program.
If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, it is important that you speak with experienced Central Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Attorney Lee S. Cohen right away. It is possible that you and your case may qualify for the ARD program, which has the potential to wipe your record clean of the arrest associated with that charge. Contact Attorney Lee S. Cohen, or call (717) 208-2622 or contact us online for your free consultation.


Ten year old Rendelsham's Drew Baker entered the Mt Gambier Eisteddford 2014 solo division, singing 'Our Choice' by Lenka. The judges awarded her first prize in her division. Drew is an avid viewer of The Voice Kids and she would like to continue singing and one day enter the The Voice. Drew is a student at St Anthony's Catholic Primary School Millicent.
Drew was also a member of the winning team of three year 5 students, debating on the topic 'are big families better than small families. Sophie Skeer and Ellie Cook made up the successful team with Drew being awarded the best overall speaker on the day.
St Anthony's students were also successful in several other categories.
Sophie Wallis, Clare Davey and James Lucas debated on 'compulsory voting taking out the title in this category.
Tyler Redding, James Grant and Ruben Van Eeden debated on the effect of violent video games on society and took out the title in this category.
The Mount Gambier Eisteddfod is part of the ongoing work of Backstage Incorporated which was formed in 1978 to promote the performing arts. This has been achieved through scholarships, achievement awards, physical assistance with local productions (eg set making or providing backstage crew) and creating situations where young people can perform in public.
As part of the promotional work, the Mount Gambier Eisteddfod was commenced in 1982 to give people the opportunity to perform in public while being adjudicated on the standard of their work.
The membership of Backstage Incorporated is made up of people of all ages from children to senior citizens all of whom work together in a friendly atmosphere for a common goal.
Backstage Incorporated is not affiliated with any individual school or club; neither does it support any art form over another. Instead, it gives support where it sees the most need. This is also reflected in the members who are made up of individuals with different involvement in the arts, some with just an interest in arts in general.
While the Eisteddfod enjoys the sponsorship of Arts S.A, Whitehead Group of Companies, Win Television and numerous business houses and individuals, the majority of funds for the Eisteddfod and other projects are raised through the fundraising efforts.

Detained Mexican migrant dies in Texas hospital
A Mexican man detained by Border Patrol for illegal re-entry died Monday at a hospital in Texas.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Andrew Meehan says the 45-year-old man was initially apprehended Feb. 2 and requested medical attention. He was taken to a medical center and later cleared to return to the Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station. The next day, he requested medical attention again and was taken to a hospital where he stayed until he died Monday.
Meehan says the official cause of death is not yet known, but the medical center diagnosed him with cirrhosis of the liver and congestive heart failure when he was admitted.
The death is under investigation.

Barcelona could attempt to raise as much as €300m through player sales this summer as the club looks to fund a much talked about squad overhaul, with Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti and Ivan Rakitic among the high profile names linked with a move away.
Barça have already secured the €86m signing of Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong at the end of season, but rumours persist over Matthijs de Ligt, in particular, as well as Luka Jovic and 2018 target Antoine Griezmann - getting all four could require a total spend of €320m.
ESPN cites sources to claim that Camp Nou officials are hoping to bring in between €250m and €300m through player sales in order to fund spending whilst avoiding financial penalties.
It is suggested that as much as a third of that could come from selling Coutinho.
Barça agreed a deal worth up to €160m when they signed the Brazilian maestro from Liverpool last January, only to see him fail to hit the same heights this season, despite a promising start.
ESPN claims that even an offer of €100m could enough to tempt the Catalans to part ways, although there is much debate from conflicting media sources over whether Barça actually want to sell.
According to SPORT last week, Coutinho is thinking about leaving.
ESPN further states that a 'big offer' for Rakitic could lead to a sale, with the Croatian said to be have been the subject of an €80m bid from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
Umtiti, meanwhile, has fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou this season as a result of injury and the arrival of summer signing Clement Lenglet. He has been heavily linked with Manchester United and Arsenal in particular, with one Spanish report last week suggesting Barça will wait for clubs to come to them and let the market to determine the Frenchman's value.
A report from SPORT this week, however, alternatively claims Umtiti will be part of the plans for next season, even if De Ligt is signed from Ajax, potentially giving Barça four top class centre-backs. It is even said that Umtiti is the defensive partner Gerard Pique most favours.

Barbaries and their close relatives
Notes from Lyndon Penners presentation to the Lethbridge Horticultural Society
Notes from a Lyndon Penner talk to the Lethbridge and District Horticultural Society
Barberries & Their Close Relatives
By Lyndon Penner
Barberries belong in the genus Berberis, and they have been prized as garden plants for centuries. There are over 450 species from all over the world, and the barberry family (Berberidaceae) includes a wide variety of shrubs and perennials.
Barberries can be evergreen or deciduous, and some are temperate and some are sub-tropical. All grow from 3-15 ft. in size and produce small clusters of yellow or gold flowers followed by small berries. These berries can be very showy, and they are also great for attracting birds. The berries are edible and high in Vitamin C, but they are extremely tart and can cause illness and stomach distress if consumed in too great a quantity. They are used in small amounts in a number of traditional Persian dishes. Autumn colour on the deciduous species is usually long lasting and spectacular.
Barberries are extremely spiny, and they make excellent hedges and habitat for nesting birds. The words "barrier" and "barb" are both derived from the same original Greek words for these shrubs. They are extremely easy to grow, requiring only full sun and well drained soil. Once established, most of them are quite drought resistant. Some are very fast growing and some grow extremely slowly, and there are several dozen hybrids and cultivars now available.
It is only in recent years that Canadians have been allowed to grow barberries in their gardens. A few species (not all) function as alternate hosts for wheat stem rust; a devastating fungal disease that can literally wipe out crops of wheat, barley, oats, and rye. In the 1960's, the sale and importation of ALL species of barberry became prohibited in Canada. That law was changed in 2002, and a few species that are safe to grow have become extremely popular in landscaping in a relatively short period of time.
All plants in the barberry family contain the alkaloid berberine, which can cause cramping, vomiting, increased heart rate, lethargy, and low blood pressure if consumed in a very significant quantity. (*The possibility of this happening though, is very remote.) Many species have been used medicinally, and barberry stems, roots, and bark have historically been used to make a brilliant yellow dye.
Himalayan Barberry (Berberis aristata)– A gorgeous evergreen species growing up to 10 ft. tall with handsome, glossy green leaves and very showy golden flowers that are followed by shiny, egg-shaped red berries. These berries are extensively used in traditional Indian medicine. It can handle colder temperatures than one would expect and it is often cultivated in regions where it is hardy.
Darwin's Barberry (Berberis darwinii)– Discovered by Charles Darwin in South America in the 1830's, this is an absolutely stunning species that can grow as tall as 10 ft. but is usually quite a bit smaller. The leaves are small, very dark green, and heavily spined. This has made it popular for hedging and use as a barrier plant. The flowers appear in great profusion in early spring and are usually bright orange but can also be golden yellow. They are extremely showy and are followed by edible but highly acidic, showy blue-black fruits. Although it has received the RHS award of merit, this species has naturalized in Australia, New Zealand, some parts of the USA, and Ireland and in some places is considered a weed.
Korean Barberry (Berberis koreana)– I am baffled as to why this compact, lovely shrub is not more commonly available to prairie gardeners. Growing about 5 ft. tall, it has handsome green leaves that colour up splendidly in the fall. The showy gold flowers are followed by glossy red berries that provide a great deal of winter interest and feed many birds. Indeed native to Korea, it is perfectly hardy and well behaved in the garden.
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii)– Native to Japan and other cold places in eastern Asia, this is by far the most popular species for growing in cold climates. If you have a barberry cultivar in your garden, it is most likely derived from this species. In the wild, it is highly variable growing from 3-9 ft. tall and wide with extremely spiny, usually arching branches and excellent fall colour. The flowers are pretty but quite small and not usually very showy. These are followed by red berries that are so tiny they are usually unnoticed.
The high degree of variability is what has led to such a great number of cultivars being available. A naturally occurring purple leafed variation (var. 'Atropurpurea') can grow up to 8 ft. tall and has given rise to a great many forms that have been of use to plant breeders.
The leaves are usually dark green becoming bright red in the fall, but most of the garden cultivars have been selected for foliage of a different colour. Some forms grow quickly and others do not. They often do not deal well with chinook zones and will suffer considerable dieback in the first few years of their life. They become hardier and more reliable with time. While they are happiest in a moist, somewhat fertile soil they are very drought resistant once they are well established. They generally do not suffer from pest or disease issues, and they do not sucker or self seed. Deer and rabbits are known to eat young plants, but usually leave established specimens alone.
There are several dozen cultivars available and not all of them are prairie hardy. I have chosen to focus on those that can be reliably expected to survive an Alberta winter.
'Cherry Bomb'– A slow growing, very compact form with heavily pink and cream variegated new growth that ages to a dull purple. The small yellow flowers show up nicely against this dark background. 3 x 3.
'Concorde'- A very dwarf, compact form with pinkish new growth that ages to dark purple. Slow growing. 2 x 3.
'Crimson Pygmy'– Very similar to 'Concorde' but the foliage is more of a red-purple and it's not especially hardy. Prone to dieback and tipkill.
'Emerald Carousel'– A nice large barberry with elegant, arching branches and a profusion of bright yellow flowers in the spring. The leaves are bright green and become an outstanding brilliant red or reddish purple in the fall. The tiny red fruits are most noticeable in the winter months. 5 x 5.
'Golden Nugget'- The smallest cultivar, and ideal for small beds and rock gardens. Very dense and slow growing with tiny, bright golden green leaves that are a coppery orange upon first emerging. 12" x 18".
'Rose Glow'– Undoubtedly the most popular of all, this is a lovely medium sized shrub that produces white and pink mottled new growth that ages to dusky purple. Fall colour is an intense burgundy with a strong rose tint. Branches are gently arching, spines are quite long. Reasonably fast growing. 4 x 3.
'Royal Burgundy'– Very tiny leaves are a brilliant deep purple. Fall colour is vivid scarlet. 2 x 3.
'Royal Cloak'– Similar to 'Royal Burgundy' but with larger leaves and faster growing. New growth is noticeably pinkish. Fall colour is a dull red. 3 x 3.
'Ruby Carousel'– Reddish purple foliage, exceptionally spiny branches. Don't back into this one! 4 x 3.
'Sunsation'– Glowing golden foliage with a strong copper tint. Slow growing and prone to dieback. Foliage becomes a beautiful glowing orange in fall. 3 x 3.
Common Barberry (Berberis vulgaris)– Native to many countries in Europe, the middle east, and northern Africa, this species grows up to 6 ft. tall and wide and has very spiny branches, green leaves, yellow flowers, and very showy red fruits. It was once widely planted but as it hosts the wheat stem rust, it has been largely removed from circulation in the nursery trade. There are established populations of it that have naturalized in both the Edmonton and Calgary areas.
Berberis x lologensis 'Apricot Queen'– A stunning hybrid barberry with evergreen, very small spiny foliage and gorgeous soft orange flowers for most of May. These are followed by edible blue-purple berries. Officially hardy only to zone 5 but has been known to be able withstand temperatures as cold as -24 Celsius for brief periods. Has received the RHS award of merit.
Berberis x stenophylla 'Corallina'– A tiny, hybrid barberry that I would like to try growing in a container. This is a deciduous form with spiny, dark green leaves and bright coral coloured buds that open to showy yellow flowers. These are followed by attractive blue fruits. It grows slowly and only reaches 6-12" tall and wide.
Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum)– There are only two species in this genus; Caulophyllum thalictroides which comes from moist, rich woodlands in eastern North America, and Caulophyllum robustum, which comes from similar habitat in Japan. Both are very much alike. Blue cohosh was greatly prized by indigenous peoples as a medicinal plant, and it was extensively used to treat menstrual issues, childbirth, and occasionally to kill parasites. It is a beautiful woodland plant that likes a sheltered site with moist, deep rich soil.
Very attractive compound leaves emerge in the spring and have a lovely blue-green cast to them. A single flower stem soon also appears, and the blooms range from greenish yellow to nearly purple. They are not showy but give way to stunning blue berries. Although it makes a gorgeous companion for hostas, ferns, and primulas, it is rarely cultivated. This is likely due to the fact that the seeds are difficult to germinate and the rhizomes do not like to be disturbed. It grows slowly but can easily live for 50 or 60 years. If you are able to acquire it, it is a perennial worth having.
Bishop's Hat, Barrenwort (Epimedium spp.)– There are currently 64 species in this genus, all from cold places in Asia. New species are being discovered with some regularity so expect this number to go up considerably in the next few years. Some species are evergreen, some are herbaceous, and some are a curious blend between the two. The name bishop's hat is a reference to the shape of the flowers; some of them resemble a clergyman's hat. Barrenwort refers to their historical medicinal use; it was once believed they could prevent a woman from conceiving.
Before we discuss these wonderful plants, the fact that they are available in the nursery trade at all is largely due to the work of an American man named Harold Epstein (1903-1997). Harold began gardening in the 1930's shortly after he got married. An accountant by training, gardening started as a hobby and led to a friendship and involvement with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in his home state of New York. Harold was an enthusiastic and brilliant plantsman with a strong eye for detail and what would work for the nursery industry. It wasn't long before he began making trips to Asia to seek unusual plants, and while Japan was his favourite destination (he made 29 trips there between 1963 and 1983) he also botanized in China, Taiwan, and Korea. He was responsible for the Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa) being introduced to the nursery trade in North America, and he has also had a magnolia named after him. Epimediums became his passion, and before he came along, these plants were virtually unknown in North America. He single handedly made the perennial world notice these plants, and was instrumental in getting them into the hands of North American gardeners. He was for many years the world's leading expert on these plants, and upon his death at age 94, many who knew him were astounded to learn he was entirely self taught and had never formally studied horticulture at any point in his life.
Harold has been honoured with having two of these plants named for him; Epimedium epsteinii, a gorgeous Chinese species with the most incredible white and purple bicoloured flowers, and Epimedium koreana 'Harold Epstein', which is an extremely hardy and vigorous grower, with enormous (for an epimedium) flowers of soft yellow.
These are clumping, beautiful perennials that are grown for both their foliage and their flowers. The leaves are often heart or shield-shaped and frequently become splendid shades of red, orange, or yellow in the fall as well as being quite beautiful upon emerging in the spring. The dangling, ethereal little flowers are very pretty but not always showy. They may be white, red, orange, yellow, rose, violet, purple or pink. They bloom early and slowly form sizeable clumps. They can handle everything from partial to considerable shade and while they like moisture, they are also reasonably drought tolerant once established. More and more of them are being introduced to the nursery trade every year. Zone ratings are often listed as 4 or 5, but many of them are much tougher than people realize and they should be widely experimented with. Some are perfectly hardy and some are not, but I recommend trying as many as you can and see how they do for you.
Epimedium fargesii- This is a rare Chinese species slowly starting to work its way into the nursery trade. It has evergreen foliage, very thin and unusual pale violet flowers, and peculiar bronze coloring in the fall. It is also much hardier than one would expect.
Epimedium grandiflorum– An herbaceous Japanese species, this and its cultivars are among the most commonly found in garden centers. New growth is bronzy to lavender and slowly ages to an attractive light green. Fall colour is variable but ranges from oranges through coppers and bronzes and can be quite lovely. Some of my favourites include:
'Alabaster'– Very large, semi-double glowing white flowers. Absolutely shines in a partly shady spot.
'Bandit'-Green leaves have a very unusual dark purple edging and are complemented by a profusion of ivory coloured flowers. The fall colour is absolutely outstanding.
'Dark Beauty'-Foliage emerges a wonderful chocolate-purple and slowly ages to green. Large bicoloured blooms of white and purple. Quite fabulous.
'Lilafee' ('Lilac Fairy')- Large, light purple to mauve flowers in great profusion and large leaves. Vigorous grower and hardy.
'Red Queen'– Hot pink flowers and vivid scarlet fall colour. 'Red Beauty' is very similar but flowers earlier.
'Sirius'-Large white blooms with a faint blush of pink. Blooms for weeks.
Epimedium koreanum 'Harold Epstein'– With very large leaves and the largest flowers I have seen on an epimedium (butter yellow in color) this is a vigorous grower although late to break dormancy in the spring. It has done well in zones 2 and 3 but is often sold as being much more tender. It will spread slowly where it is happy.
Epimedium x rubrum– Very popular and compact, and growing only 12-14" tall and wide. The flowers are pinkish red and the fall color is very bright and showy. Reliable and great for beginners. 'Sweetheart' is a more vigorous selection of this hybrid with leaves heavily infused with red on emerging. Flowers are bright pink.
Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum'– Lovely soft yellow flowers on a reliable plant that is hardy and clumps up very quickly. The fall colour is a wonderful burnished bronze or gold.
Epimedium x warleyense 'Orange Queen'- The pinkish red or orangey-pink flowers are pretty enough but it is the outstanding bright orange fall colour that makes it such a desirable plant for the shade garden.
Epimedium youngianum x 'Niveum'– I think this species wants to be evergreen; it came through three winters for me before giving up the ghost. The leaves are a handsome copper color in the fall and the pure white flowers are like little stars. I would try it again. 'Roseum' is similar but with rosy-lilac flowers.
Jeffersonia– Named for American president Thomas Jefferson, there are a few species here but none are common in North American gardens. If encountered, Jeffersonia diphylla is usually what's on offer. Native to rich, moist, and often limy soils in the deciduous woods of eastern North America, this is a hardy perennial to be cherished and admired. Reaching about 12" tall, this lovely plant grows from slowly creeping rhizomes and blooms only very briefly in the spring. The flowers are white and beautiful, followed by fascinating seedpods if pollination occurs. The seeds secrete an oil that is highly attractive to ants, which aid in the dispersal of the seeds. The fascinating leaves are divided almost in half, giving rise to the common name of twinleaf. It is a very handsome and perfectly hardy plant, though not often available in the nursery trade. It establishes slowly and is difficult to grow from seed. It is a protected species in at least four of the states where it occurs. It has a long history of medicinal use by indigenous peoples and makes a marvelous jewel for a woodland garden. Jeffersonia dubia is a Korean species from moist, partly shaded areas usually on the edges of deciduous woods. The flowers are large for the size of the plant and appear in early spring, usually being blue-mauve or violet in colour but occasionally lavender or soft pink. These plants appreciate compost and good soil and are not suited to dry conditions.
Mahonia– There are about 70 species in this genus, and they are native to Asia, Europe, and North America. They have spiny, evergreen leaves and showy yellow flowers followed by clusters of grape-like fruits. Many are winter bloomers and many are prized as landscape shrubs.
By far the best known species is the Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium). This is a common evergreen shrub of the west coast, also called grape holly or holly grape. It is the state flower of Oregon and sometimes grown in gardens. It usually grows about 3 ft. tall and up to 5 ft. wide. It suckers and forms small thickets, and it is sometimes gathered and used as greens by the cutflower industry. The foliage is evergreen, spiky, and definitely bears a resemblance to holly. The flowers are brilliant yellow and give way to very grape-like, bright blue fruit. These fruits are edible (if somewhat bitter) and are great for attracting birds to the garden. 'Apollo' is a very compact and heavy blooming cultivar of this species.
Creeping Oregon grape (Mahonia repens) can be found throughout western North America and throughout the Rockies, including Idaho, Montana, and southwestern Alberta. There is also a well known inland population of it from the Black Hills of the Dakotas. It usually behaves as a ground hugging shrub just a few inches tall but occasionally grows larger. It will grow in sun to considerable shade, and can handle poor soil, drought, competition, and wind. It also has no pest or disease issues. Even browsing deer prefer to leave it alone. The flowers are very showy but do not last very long; the same is true of the bright blue fruits. Occasionally it develops quite beautiful bronzy purple fall color but this is inconsistent. It can be rooted from cuttings or by layering, and if you are patient, it can also be grown from seed without too much trouble. Look for it on dry, sunny slopes and the edges of woods. It can be slow to establish in a garden but never the less makes a splendid groundcover if given enough time.
While there are dozens of species of Mahonia that are grown in places that have mild winters, by far the best known species is Mahonia lomariifolia. It is native to southwestern China and has reddish bronze leaves when young that age to a shining green. The leaves are up to 20" long and have up to 40 spiny leaflets. The flowers are bright yellow, fragrant, and held in large clusters. They can appear anytime from autumn through spring and it is cherished as one of the showiest and easiest of winter flowering shrubs. It likes moist soil rich in organic matter and will do best if protected from the hot afternoon sun during the summer months.
Quite a number of hybrid cultivars have been developed, including the gorgeous 'Charity' and 'Winter Sun'. These are often listed as Mahonia x media.
Mahonia is so closely related to Berberis that under the right conditions, they can actually hybridize with each other. The resulting offspring, commonly listed as x Mahoberberis, share traits of each parent, including evergreen foliage, yellow flowers, and occasionally dark coloured fruits. They are sterile but sometimes grown as garden shrubs.
The close relationship between these two groups of shrubs had led botanists in recent times to study the DNA of both groups, and there are many who want to merge these two genera. Many species formerly listed as Mahonia are now being called Berberis in the textbooks, much to the general annoyance of most gardeners, including myself.
Vancouveria– Named for Captain George Vancouver, this is a small genus of three evergreen species native to western North America. They are sometimes called inside-out flowers and are similar in many ways to Epimedium but they are definitely not as hardy. The great British gardener Christopher Lloyd declared them inferior to their Asian relatives and not worth bothering with. Many gardeners disagree with this assessment and are quite fond of them. V. hexandra is the best known species, and forms a small, slowly spreading clump of attractive green leaves. The flowers are white and not showy. Growing 8-10" tall, this species can handle some dryness once established but definitely performs best in moist, acidic soil. It is occasionally grown as a groundcover in parks and gardens.

6 Tips for Starting an Influencer Marketing Program
By Emma Bentley on June 15, 2021 in Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing has been on the upswing for years, defying predictions that it's yet another digital marketing fad. Although the pandemic reshuffled the space and sorted some clear winners and losers, expansion remained the name of the game in 2020 and 2021.
Actually, that's an understatement. According to a Business Insider report on the state of the influencer marketing industry, a staggering 96% of U.S. and U.K. consumers said they were engaging with influencers "more or to the same extent" as before the pandemic hit.
Bottom line: If your brand hasn't yet embraced influencer marketing's potential, there's still time to do so.
Of course, you'll want to do it right the first time. Follow these six tips for starting an influencer marketing program from the ground up.
1. Get Explicit Consent From Every Influencer You Work With
Do not repurpose influencer content without first getting the creator's explicit consent.
Repeat: Do not repurpose influencer content without first getting the creator's explicit consent.
If this isn't the golden rule of influencer marketing, it's close. And it doesn't have to be super legalistic. In its guide to influencer marketing, digital marketing expert Hawke Media encourages brands to get written consent via DM. Said consent can be as concise as "Yes, you can use my IG post," the firm says.
An Insta DM is likely to be your influencers' preferred mode of communication anyway, at least initially. Sending a multipage contract PDF by email on your very first contact attempt might technically meet the definition of striking while the iron is hot, but it could also scare off potential partners. You can work through the legalese later; early on, it's more important to establish rapport.
2. Standardize Your Influencer Marketing Relationships and Contracts
About that legalese.
You don't need to treat your influencers like employees. That could actually backfire. Influencers are creatives above all else. Many chafe at creative direction from people who (they believe) don't really understand what they do.
But you do need to hold your influencers to their end of the bargain. Whatever arrangement you reach with them, you have every right to make sure they follow through.
Standardization is the word of the day here. If you're set on using formal, attorney-created contracts to manage these relationships, great — have your attorney include standard clauses that can be customized to fit the no-doubt-unique nature of the arrangement.
If you (and your influencers) prefer to keep things casual, that's fine too. But you still need to hold every influencer you work with to the same set of measurable benchmarks and define their deliverables the same way every time, even if you're communicating this information in the body of an email or DM.
3. Don't Work With Influencers Who Want to Skirt Disclosure Regulations
Read the Federal Trade Commission's influencer marketing guidelines. Then read them again.
Then learn to love them.
You should love the FTC's influencer marketing guidelines. They bring order and predictability to the new-ish and often very casual influencer marketing business. And they keep its practitioners, influencers and brands alike, on the right side of the law.
Make a point never to work with influencers who think they're better than these regulations. We all love mold-breaking personalities, but no influencer is worth a federal fine.
4. Add Team Members Who Really Understand Influencer Marketing
Yes, these team members can be reformed influencers themselves. That's encouraged, in fact. Not necessary, but encouraged.
What you don't want is a bunch of people who know nothing about influencer marketing running point on a high-stakes campaign. Your in-house influencer liaisons should know how to communicate with influencers, how to assess their work, and ultimately whether any given relationship is worth the resources it requires.
5. Know Who You're Trying to Reach Before You Get Started
Know thy audience.
Again, maybe not the golden rule of influencer marketing. But pretty darn important.
Influencer marketing is all about engagement. Your influencers are ambassadors for your brand. Like all seasoned diplomats, they know how to work a room and generate meaningful responses.
But, to be effective, they need to work the right rooms. All the talent in the world won't convert audiences that don't want to be converted — or that don't much care for the messenger.
It falls to you to find and segment target audiences for your influencer marketing, then find the right influencers for those audiences. You need to do this before you make first contact with any influencers at all. Otherwise, you might end up wasting both parties' time.
6. Focus on Relevance, Not Follower Count
From a 30,000-foot perspective, influencers' value does increase in rough proportion to their follower count. But focusing only on follower count is a recipe for unsatisfying and ultimately not-very-valuable influencer relationships.
Follower quality is far more important than follower quantity. And "quality" here is very broadly defined, covering not just engagement-adjacent metrics but basic demographic information as well. To take one obvious example, you don't want to work with an influencer whose followers largely reside in a national market your brand doesn't serve, no matter how much engagement they generate there.
It goes without saying that you want to make sure your would-be influencer partners' followers aren't figments of the digital imagination. Influencer Marketing Hub has more on spotting fake followers and avoiding tie-ups with influencers who can't bring living, breathing engagement to the party.
It's Not Too Late to Join the Influencer Marketing Game
Influencer marketing is not the flavor of the week. It's here to stay. And it's getting bigger every year.
What does that mean for brands that haven't yet hopped on the influencer marketing train? Brands that — admit it — have been waiting, even hoping, for the fad to fade?
It means there's still time for them to take advantage of the phenomenon. As the social media pie grows larger, the pool of influencers looking to carve out their very own slice gets bigger too. All the more opportunity for brands seeking a toehold in this exciting space.
Even so, it's better to get in now. Because while influencer marketing is here to stay, the early arrivals are more likely to get bigger slices of the pie. And maybe seconds, if they're lucky.

Q: Generated Bindings Remove Generics I am trying to bind an abstract class that uses generics:

As you can see, I am missing the public abstract void onResponse(Response<T> paramResponse); node in my generated code. What can I do to get this and the generics included in the C# code? I have been googling all night and cant find anything.
Some articles suggest adding to the Additions file in the binding project, but I can't figure out how to get it to work and there is no documentation on the Addtions section of the binding process.
NOTE: I changed the paths in the Metadata comments as it is proprietary.

Federal Workforce Giving Program May Substitute Tech for People
January 24, 2013; Source: Washington Post
In the world of workplace philanthropy, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) has been a mainstay of needed charitable contributions from federal employees all around the nation. However, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is considering a change in the CFC process to eliminate donations by cash, check, or money order in order to require that all donations be made by "electronic means."
According to Joe Davidson, reporting for the Washington Post, only 22 percent of CFC donations were made electronically in 2011 and more than 88 percent of donors didn't make electronic donations. The proposed OPM regulation appears to be an effort to "streamline" the CFC. In some cases, technology does streamline such processes, but given that almost nine out of ten donors do not use electronic means for making their charitable contributions, what is really driving the OPM move?
It seems to us that the shift to all-electronic donations relates to another part of the proposed change in OPM operations which calls for a reduction in the number of local CFC committees, replacing the 184 local CFC committees with a small number of larger, regional ones. A report from a commission formed for the 50th anniversary of the CFC noted that OPM's costs in operating the CFC had risen sharply, from a little over $20 million around 2002-2003 to close to $30 million in 2010. The proposed change in OPM's CFC procedures may fundamentally be an effort to save some OPM money.
That's understandable in this era of budget pressures, but what might be lost in terms of charitable giving? The CFC-50 report notes that the federal employee participation rate in the CFC has been trending downward, with around 24 percent of federal employees participating compared to around half more than two decades ago. The average CFC donor's gift is over $284, the highest it has ever been, but the steadily declining participation rate has led to lower total CFC campaign totals in recent years.
Will less hands-on interaction with local committees and more reliance on impersonal electronic donations reverse this trend? Longtime CFC charities such as EarthShare (represented by Kalman Stein), America's Charities (headed by Stephen Delfin), and the Workplace Giving Alliance (represented by Marshall Strauss) are suspicious that the new regs will result in even lower levels of participation and giving. Delfin said he is "highly concerned" that the shift to electronic technology could result in lower donations. Strauss said that shifting the CFC to an electronic-only donation program could "dramatically reduce the number of people giving and the overall receipts of the campaign." Stein, whose EarthShare has been selected to administer the CFC of the National Capital Area, thinks that OPM doesn't understand "how critical the local component is." He adds that history indicates "more consolidation [of local CFC committees] leads to less donations."
Strauss, Stein, and Delfin are among the most experienced CFC managers in the nation. Perhaps someone might say that they represent the old CFC guard resisting new technologies in fundraising, but that doesn't appear to be the case. All of them have welcomed the inclusion of electronic giving as another option in the CFC. The more options for potential donors, the better, they say. But not everyone makes that electronic shift, and charitable giving is a high-touch process in which many donors like to feel more tangibly involved. Electronic giving saves money per gift, but the shift to an all-electronic system may lose more charitable donations than the OPM saves in operating costs.—Rick Cohen

Campaigners 'outraged' over plan to build 420 apartments on Bessborough mother and baby home site
Plans were lodged with An Bord Pleanála earlier this year by Estuary View Enterprises.
MEMBERS OF A support group for the Bessborough Mother and Baby Home are 'outraged' at €105 million plans to construct 420 apartments on the Bessborough estate in Cork.
Earlier this year, Estuary View Enterprises (EVE) lodged combined Strategic Housing Development (SHD) plans with An Bord Pleanála to construct 420 apartments plus a café and creche on the site in Blackrock in Cork city.
EVE is today the largest landowner in the Bessborough estate with its block totalling just over 40 acres and the new combined scheme followed the appeals board last year refusing planning permission to MWB Two Ltd for 246 apartments on a different parcel of land in the Bessborough estate south of the proposed development site.
As part of EVE's 'TheMeadowSHD', the applicants are seeking planning permission for 280 buy to sell apartments in four blocks ranging from six to 10 storeys in height, while the companion 'TheFarmSHD' provides for 140 buy-to-sell apartments in three blocks up to five storeys in height.
The Mother and Baby home operated there from 1922 to 1999 and more than 900 children died from various causes while resident in the home, but only 64 have marked graves.
Now, in response to the twin applications, the Bessboro Mother & Baby Home Support Group – whose members include Philomena Lee – has told An Bord Pleanála it is objecting to the plans across a number of grounds.
The group states that "the undisputed fact is that 859 children registered as born in Bessborough are missing".
In the objection lodged on behalf of the Support Group by Carmel Cantwell, Cantwell states that "adoptees come from all over the world to visit the place they were born in and reflect on how lucky they were to get out alive".
She added: "Mothers come to reflect on their time there and grieve for their children lost to adoption or whose burial places are unknown.
She said: "We are all outraged at the thought that this peaceful space could be overshadowed by blocks of apartments in the future. The threat of such developments add to and perpetuates the trauma suffered by Bessborough survivors.
Cantwell further states: "There is too much ambiguity surrounding burials at Bessborough and until a full independent investigation is carried out to determine the truth there should be no further construction on the grounds."
The Bessboro Mother and Baby Home Support Group state that planning permission was refused last year to MWB Two Ltd for a development at Bessborough "as there was too much ambiguity around burials possibly being in the area proposed for development".
They state that this uncertainty applies to the EVE proposed development.
The group state that EVE are proposing to do forensic archaeological testing in conjunction with the construction.
Cantwell states: "This is a means to an end to achieve a building development. This is hurtful to us as it is not about finding nor honouring the missing children and their families."
She states "that every one of those children was a real person and was with a mother who wasn't given the dignity and respect to be allowed to bury their own child in a manner that they would have liked".
In the planning statement lodged with the plans on behalf of EVE, it states that "the applicants recognise the sensitives associated with the legacy of the former Mother and Baby Home" at Bessborough.
In advance of submitting the application, the applicants consulted with the Cork Survivors and Supporters Alliance (CSSA).
The planning statement says that there is no evidence to suggest that there are any children burials on the subject lands of the application.
In relation to the EVE applications, the planning statement says: "The CSSA have confirmed that they have no objection to the principle of the proposed development."
The report adds: "While the issue of the burials at Bessborough remains unresolved, there is now a consensus between the primary stakeholders that any unrecorded burials were likely to have taken place within or adjacent to The Folly."
HW Planning state that "based on this we consider that the subject lands are similar in profile to all other lands within the former 200 acre Bessborough Estate, the majority of which have been successfully developed".
