This lovely October I have had the pleasure of attending two historic festivals – the annual 1770s Festival at Lord Stirling Park in Basking Ridge, NJ and the annual Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm Harvest Festival.
The 1770s Festival happens each year on the first Sunday in October. I attended this year's festival on October 2, 2011. The setting for the festival was on the grounds of Lord Stirling's grand manor house and estate, originally constructed in the 1770s.
We had a long and interesting talk with a member of the Revolutionary War military detachment camp, who taught us all about the weaponry and methods of combat during the Revolutionary War.
Skilled artisan Homer Hansen demonstrated paper cutting techniques to achieve beautiful and intricate silhouette designs.
…and demonstrations of many early American skills and crafts, including spinning, weaving, yarn dyeing, tatting, coopering, quilling, broom making, oak split basketry, outdoor brick bake oven, Dutch oven cooking, butter making, and rope making. I learn something new about these crafts every year.


In 2013 and 2104, when it came time to decide what to do about three abandoned factory sites in the northwest corner of Carlisle, it wasn't just a matter of getting borough and county leaders together. Instead, much of the input about what Carlisle wanted to see happen in the neighborhood came from Carlisle's own citizens.
I'm not so sure there is any place in the country as unique as Carlisle.
Shopping in Carlisle, PA, includes antique stores, small shops and a mall nearby.

Chenin Blanc is traditionally known as the white wine grape variety from the Loire Valley of France. It probably originated as a mutation of the Chenin Noir in the Anjou wine region in France. It is theorized that Chenin Blanc originated/mutated sometime in the 9th century. From there it traveled to Touraine around the 15th century.
The grape's popularity is mostly due to its high levels of acidity. This increase in value is evident in Chenin Blanc's presence in everything from sparkling wines to dessert wines to brandy. For the majority of the grape's history in the California wine industry, Chenin Blanc was considered as a "workhorse variety" that could be used indiscriminately in bulk and jug wine blends.
Chenin Blanc originated in the Loire Valley of France sometime in the 9th century. As the planting of vines spread within France, the grape also found a home throughout Europe. Some plantings of Chenin Blanc can be found in the Spanish wine regions of Catalonia, Aragon and Navarre.
Known as "Steen", Chenin Blanc is the most widely planted variety in South Africa. It is estimated that 1/5 of all vines planted in South African are the Chenin Blanc variety. The majority of Chenin Blanc in South Africa is planted in the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester regions. The region of Malmesbury in Swartland also have dedicated acreage set aside for vine plantings.
In Australia 1,500 acres of Chenin Blanc are produced. However, it is mostly used as a blending variety often used with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Australian Chenin Blanc plantings can be found in Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia as well as the Swan Valley and Margaret River area of Western Australia. In New Zealand the grape has primarily been planted in the North Island.
Sometime in the 19th century Chenin Blanc was exported to the Middle East. Today, vines can still be found, in limited quantities, in Israel.
Chenin Blanc is widely planted throughout North and South America. In South America, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay produce Chenin Blanc. The grape can be found in all 3 countries of North America. In Canada Chenin Blanc is planted in the Okanagan wine region of British Columbia and in Ontario. For many years plantings in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay were confused for Pinot Blanc. In spite of the mix up, the grape was successfully used in the mass production of white blends.
Chenin blanc is grown throughout the United States. In the areas of Clarksburg, Napa Valley and Mendocino, California Chenin Blanc is widely planted making it the 3rd most planted white wine grape in the state. In Washington state, the wine regions of Yakima and Columbia Valley produce the grape. Also in the northwest, Oregon boasted 44 acres of Chenin Blanc plantings until 2001 when most were uprooted. Other states with plantings of Chenin blanc are New York, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona, New Mexico, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Idaho and Texas.
Chenin Blanc is considered the most versatile of all of the wine grape varieties due to its high levels of acidity. You can find Chenin Blanc in crisp, dry table wines, light sparkling wines, dessert wines and brandy. This versatility is both a blessing and a curse. The shear variety of wines to be produced is great, while the inability to discern between the style or sweetness based on labels makes for a hard decision for the novice consumer. Chenin Blanc can also produce a very bland, neutral wine if the vine's natural growth tendencies are not controlled.
Chenin Blanc is susceptible to bunch rot and sun burn, but to the delight of many vineyards it is resistant to many diseases. While many grapes poorly produce in warm climates, Chenin Blanc flourishes. Its vine vigor, tendency to bud early and ripen late, and its ability to retain its high acidity all add to the grapes many positive qualities.
Chenin Blanc also grows well in many different soil types. In sandy or clay loam the vine can be quite tenacious. While the production rates are fairly consistent, the older the vine gets the more it tends to over produce which hinders the grapes ability to ripen in cooler areas.
If the vine vigor can be controlled in cooler areas the juice turns out to be sweet but high in acid with a full-bodied fruity palate. In the past the acidity of under ripened grapes was often masked with the addition of sugar with unsatisfactory results. Now vintners utilize the less ripe grapes to make popular sparkling wines.
Over the years wine production, especially in Europe, has gotten more regulated. Utilizing DNA investigations to back up authenticity Chenin Blanc has not been spared any scrutiny. This has not been bad for the grape as it has been pegged as the possible parent of Sauvignon Blanc.
Chenin blanc can be very versatile when looking to pair with food. However, due to the wide range of styles of wine that can be produced from and with this one grape thought does need to go into the final choice. Lighter and drier styles of wine can be paired well with light dishes such as salads, fish and chicken. Sweeter styles of Chenin blanc can balance the spice and heat of some Asian and Hispanic dishes. The acidity and balance of medium-dry styles can be paired well with dishes that contain cream sauces and rich dishes like pâté.

Omicron variant of coronavirus detected in Georgia

As the U.S. recorded its first confirmed case of the omicron variant, doctors across the country are experiencing a more imminent crisis with a delta variant that is sending record numbers of people to the hospital in New England and the Midwest. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)
Georgia's public health agency said it has confirmed the first in-state case of COVID-19 caused by the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
The Department of Public Health said Sunday that the person had recently traveled from South Africa, where the variant was first detected, and developed mild symptoms of COVID-19. Genomic testing confirmed the person — who is isolating at home — was infected by the omicron variant, the agency said.
Public health officials are working to determine people who came in close contact and are at risk of infection, the department said.
More than a dozen states have identified the omicron variant of the coronavirus, and the list is growing near daily. Much remains unknown about omicron, including whether it is more contagious, as some health authorities suspect, whether it can thwart vaccines and whether it makes people as sick as the original strain.
While this is the first in-state Georgia case tracked to the variant, the Department of Public Health said it was notified Friday of a Georgia resident who was in New Jersey and tested positive for the omicron variant there.
Health officials urged Georgia residents to get vaccinated against the coronavirus if they haven't already and adults to get a booster dose if they were immunized at least six months ago.

Your risk of this debilitating heart disease increases after contracting COVID, study finds
Risk of developing POTS heart disease is higher after COVID-19 infection, study finds.

People may have a higher chance of developing debilitating heart disease after a COVID-19 infection, according to a new study published Monday, December 12.
The condition, POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), is a nervous system disorder that causes a person's heart to race rapidly within 10 minutes of standing up, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. It comes with known worsening symptoms, including dizziness and fainting, and was considered a potential long-lasting COVID condition, according to research.
The study also found that getting the coronavirus vaccine is linked to a greater chance of developing POTS but to a "lesser extent," according to a press release about the work, which involved researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Angeles.
Still, 'risks remain higher after infection than after vaccination,' study finds published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Cardiovascular Research said.
The results come as the United States approaches 100 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of December 14.
Although a person's odds of developing POTS were found to be higher three months after being vaccinated, they were more than five times higher after COVID-19 infection than after vaccination, according to the study.
The researchers analyzed 284,592 vaccinated people and 12,460 people who had had COVID-19 from 2020 to 2022. The participants were patients from the Cedars-Sinai Health System.
"The main message here is that while we see a potential link between COVID-19 vaccination and POTS, preventing COVID-19 through vaccination is still the best way to reduce your risk of developing POTS," said said the study's lead author, Dr. Alan C. Kwan. said in a statement.
That possible link is "relatively thin," Kwan added.
Previously, POTS was known to develop after a viral illness, traumatic event, during or after pregnancy, and alongside another underlying condition such as diabetes or cancer, according to the UK's National Health Service. .

Getting a diagnosis of POTS can be difficult because symptoms span different organ systems, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Other symptoms include extreme fatigue, brain fog, headache, nausea and vomiting, and tremors.
"In an unexpected but important way, the COVID-19 pandemic has raised a lot of awareness for POTS, both for patients and providers," said Dr. Peng-Sheng Chen, another study author and POTS expert. , in a press release.
Of the 12,460 patients known to be infected with COVID-19, those who subsequently received a POTS-associated diagnosis were considered slightly older, according to the study.
Of the 284,592 vaccinated people studied, 62% received the Pfizer vaccine, 31% received the Moderna vaccine, 6.9% received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and less than 1% of patients received other vaccines including AstraZeneca, Novovax and Sinovac, according to the study.
For this group, POTS ranked among the top five conditions seen in these people after they were vaccinated, the researchers found. Other conditions included myocarditis, dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome and urinary tract infection, according to the study.
The study authors stressed that their findings do not mean that vaccination against COVID-19 causes POTS. They call for further investigation given that their research was observational.
New diagnoses of POTS after vaccination have previously been reported in the medical literature, including in relation to the human papillomavirus vaccine Gardasil, according to an article published in Nature Cardiovascular Research describing the study.
"We recognize as clinicians that vaccine side effects can vary in type and severity, although they are still infrequent overall," Kwan said. "We hope that clearer data and better understanding will ultimately strengthen medical trust and quality of care as well as communications around vaccines."
One limitation of the study was the "generality" of the results, as they are limited to patients in the Cedars-Sinai Health System.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 500,000 to 3 million people were known to have POTS in the United States, according to the study document.
"Avoiding triggers" such as standing for a long time, being exposed to hot and cold temperatures, and drinking alcohol can help people manage POTS, Chen said.
There is no cure for POTS, according to the Mayo Clinic.

35 Most Beautiful Destinations in Canada
Lara Vukelich — July 13, 2016
Certain Canadian cities get all the glory. We're looking at you, Vancouver and Calgary, with your sparkling cityscapes and lush emerald tree lines. Meanwhile, some of the most beautiful destinations don't get any credit. Like Beyoncé's backup dancers, these pretty places in Canada are just as fantastic as vacation headliners—but rarely get acknowledged. We searched for places that pack a major visual punch with unique charm, postcard-worthy scenery, and breathtaking landscapes.
We always did love an underdog (Rudy! Rudy!). So, in no particular order, here are 35 of the most beautiful destinations in Canada.
Lunenburg, NS
Via Flickr/Chris Shervey This port town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Yeah, that's a big deal. By day, the crayon-coloured houses along the water will make you smile, and by night you'll watch lights bounce off the water like shooting stars. Art galleries are plentiful, so take home a canvas.
The fact that Squamish has a "sea to sky gondola" says it all. They have huge views and you can't deny. Sage-coloured mountain sides and shiny water meets azure sky to create picturesque panoramas. Hike to a peak on the Stawamus Chief and take it all in.
Gaspe, QC
Red rocks carve their way into blue water and green cliffs tower over coastal roadways. It's easy to see why Gaspe has people gasping. Mid-sea, ombre stones emerge out of the water and beg you to come over via kayak. Yes, this place has beautiful down pat.
Peggy's Cove, NS
Just a quick peek at St. Margaret's Bay and you'll turn your phone on airplane mode. Peggy's Cove is a place where you're more interested in counting boats than emails. Grab a lawn chair and sit with your toes facing the glittering open water, or take a twilight walk past the Peggy's Point Lighthouse.
Waterton, AB
From the bright red Prince of Wales hotel perched on a perfectly manicured hillside to the unspoiled waterfalls nearby, Waterton is a post card come to life. The Rocky Mountains in Waterton Lakes National Park are as surreal as they are humongous. You'll expect a cartoon princess to skip past as birds fold her laundry nearby—it may not happen, but you can dream.
Whistler while you work, erm, play. By winter, you'll be shredding the slopes and by summer snapping pictures of powerful waterfalls. With so many hotels near Whistler and a charming downtown, you won't want to leave (don't say we didn't warn you).
Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Niagara-on-the-Lake sits where the Niagara River blends into Lake Ontario. We say it's also the crossroads of quaint and regal. Bright garden blooms greet you in warmer weather and vines dangle down the side of Victorian architecture. Then, when the leaves change colours…just, wow.
Victoria beaches and lakes are all the rage. The sandy terrain at Esquimalt Lagoon or China Beach is as popular as a snow cone cart in the middle of the desert. Everybody wants a piece. Fortunately, there is plenty of sand to go around in Victoria and more than enough beautiful architecture to complement the striking natural landscape.
Collingwood is proud of its hospitality, but its views of Georgian Bay are nothing to sneeze at. In town, the brick clock tower and tree-lined streets are perfect for a leisurely stroll.
With the Laurentian Mountains serving as a backdrop and Lake Tremblant within its boundaries, Mont-Tremblant is practically out of a fairy tale. Red and green roofs just add to the charm, and a walk beneath the trees on one of the many local hiking trails will ease any worry you woke up with.
Stand before the rolling waterfalls with a cliffside at your back, and see if you don't think "Wow, this is beautiful." You're welcome.
Paris, ON
Eiffel Tower, Shmeiffel Tower. This Paris calls itself the "Prettiest Little Town in Canada." Walk through Downtown Paris where the Grand and Nith Rivers meet, and allow yourself to be tempted toward the stunning woodland scenery just a short walk away. Just leave a trail of bread crumbs so you'll find your way home.
Rows of vineyard grapes give way to crystal blue water. Overhead, a purple sunset whispers across the sky. No, that's not from the back of a romance novel. That's just what it looks like in Kelowna.
What will you do first? Walk past the rushing waterfalls of the Magog River Gorge or breathe in some fresh oxygen beneath the leafy greens of Bois-Beckett Park? Much like choosing a doughy confection at Tim Hortons, you can't go wrong. Sherbrooke offers natural serenity and beauty in equal measure, so leave your worries at home and enjoy a tour of the purple Bleu Lavande fields.
Despite being a capital city and having a sizeable concrete jungle, Edmonton is still as beautiful as lots of mountain towns. Hop in a chopper and take an aerial trip above the green Alberta landscape, or drive 35 km east to Elk Island National Park. Stay up late and throw on some mittens during winter; the Northern Lights are on full display.
The public gardens in Halifax will inspire your green thumb, while the gentle waves created by boats off shore mesmerize you while you're standing at the coast. Take in the natural coastline from Duncan's Cove Trail, which winds through valleys and coves and gives a view of nearby dolphins.
Canmore, AB
Canmore is a quintessential mountain town. Towering mountain peaks reach for the sky in the distance, and a friendly main street serves as the chief thoroughfare. Book a stay at one of the coziest Banff hotels, and the fresh mountain air and glimmering lake water of the entire region is your oyster.
Flourishing leaves and brick facades make up much of this city's scenery. The capital of New Brunswick, Fredericton is also on the Saint John River, so you can soak up water views before you marvel at the Georgian homes in the city.
Port Hope, ON
The Ganarska River runs right through Port Hope, which was a boomtown once upon a time. These days, the streets are no longer crowded with carriages. Instead, the draws include changing leaves and ducklings swimming under local bridges.
Goderich is surrounded by wide open spaces. As the Dixie Chicks would say, you have room to make your big mistakes (though a relaxing trip to Goderich won't be one of them). Go fishing in Lake Huron, traipse across local tree-lined trails, and visit the courthouse in the centre of the uniquely octagonal town square.
Trinity, NL
The barn red buildings and crisp white porches in Trinity are reminiscent of the English countryside. Look just past them toward the sea, and rocky cliffs add a touch of brooding ambiance here—in a good way.
Victoria-by-the-Sea, PEI
A picturesque lighthouse stands watch over Victoria-by-the-Sea, which is on the south side of the island. Meanwhile, quaint chocolate shops and boat launches help comprise the cultural landscape here.
Cranberry Portage, MB
Stately pine trees and the dazzling water of the East Arm set the stage for a relaxing vacation in Cranberry Portage. Once an important location on the trade route with Cree and Assiniboine First Nation people, the community has erected the world's largest tipi and hosts aboriginal art events.
Tobermory, ON
Bright row buildings along the coast will remind you of Amsterdam while sparkling clear water is reminiscent of the Caribbean. But you're neither in the Netherlands nor on an island, you're in Tobermory. Pull up a candy-coloured lawn chair and enjoy the view.
Book yourself a waterfront room near the shores of Lake Winnipeg, and pay a quick visit to the Gimli Viking statue. Beyond that, the only thing on your daytime itinerary will be grabbing a patch of sand and gazing out at the lake. Watch a spectacular multi-colour sunset over the water, and you'll see why Gimli is the perfect place to unwind.
Parliament's Peace Tower touches the clouds in Ottawa's skyline, and spectacular Victorian buildings dot the landscape. The majesty of the city permeates the air, while the serenity and sparkle of the Ottawa River is never far. Yes, it's a beautiful place, indeed. Visit in 2017, and you can celebrate Canada's 150th Anniversary in the capital city.
Colour abounds in Wolfville. From green fields to orange cliffs to red strawberries—it's like you walked into an artist's canvas. And, hey, if you happen to suck down a fuchsia cocktail while you're in town, we won't judge.
Mahone Bay, NS
The water of Mahone Bay is blue, but the playful buildings nearby are turquoise and pink, among other shades. A skyline filled with church steeples and flourishing trees create a peaceful and welcoming ambiance.
During the day, Fort Smith might look like just another quaint Canadian town. But much like Superman spinning around in a phone booth, when the sun goes down Fort Smith has something magnificent up its sleeve. Between August and March, just look up to spot some of the best views of the Northern Lights in the world.
Oh, and you say you like wood bison? Wood Buffalo National Park, the largest dark sky preserve in the world and the largest national park in Canada, is full of the (cute) hairy beasts.
Bowen Island, BC
Just a 20-minute ferry ride from many Vancouver hotels, Bowen Island is the stuff adventurers' dreams are made of. You can hike Mount Gardner to get a panoramic view of the scenic surrounds, or go on a peaceful kayak trip from one of the island's four beaches.
Peachland, BC
Imagine sitting on the end of a dock, your toes dangling in the water, the faint sound of leaves in the wind in the distance. Combine your fantasy with breathtaking mountain views and easy access to hundreds of wineries and breweries—and you're practically in Peachland already.
Placentia, NL
Castle Hill, Placentia's National Historic Site, provides an amazing vantage point. From just beside the landmark's cannon, the best of land and sea come into perfect view. A sunset walk along the coast isn't half-bad, either.
Charlottetown, PEI
By land, Charlottetown is a historic treasure. Walk by the charming brick homes on Victoria Row to see what we mean. By water, the city's green gardens and rocky shores have a beauty all their own. You may just pull an Anne of Green Gables and move to PEI.
Town hall stands tall and proud above Ontario's oldest city, and the Frontenac Arch Biosphere in Kingston is the only UNESCO Heritage Site in the province. So, yes, you can have a FAB time here. Stunning stone buildings and epic views of Lake Ontario round out the beauty of the Limestone City.
St. Andrews, NB
The setting of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea is the stuff rom-coms are made off. Is that a Drew Barrymore character boggling a relationship in the distance? A sprawling green golf course and saltwater cove will lure you to town, and the lobster rolls at seaside restaurants will make you stay.

Carriera
Dopo i quattro anni alla Temple University approda in Polonia, ma viene tagliato dopo tre partite. Vive una parentesi nella lega americana CBA e una a Porto Rico, poi gioca due anni nella Legadue italiana con le canotte di Ragusa (17,7 punti e 8,9 rimbalzi di media) e Scafati (15 punti e 10,1 rimbalzi).

Nel 2003 gioca la preseason NBA con i Philadelphia 76ers, i quali lo svincolano prima dell'inizio del campionato. Torna brevemente in CBA, quindi firma un contratto mensile coi francesi del Dijon prima di volare a Porto Rico.

Debutta in Spagna nel 2004, inizialmente in seconda serie con l'ingaggio del León, dove rimane per due stagioni intervallate da una nuova parentesi nel torneo portoricano. Nel 2006 va in Bulgaria al Lukoil Akademik Sofia, rimanendovi fino a dicembre dello stesso anno.

Inizia l'anno solare 2007 nella lega minore americana IBL, poi debutta nella Liga ACB forte del passaporto spagnolo ottenuto nel frattempo: nella massima serie del paese iberico, Barnes gioca con le canotte di Fuenlabrada, nuovamente León, Murcia, Valladolid, Alicante ed Estudiantes.

Successivamente prosegue la carriera in Sudamerica, prima di tornare in Spagna nel 2015 per disputare due campionati e mezzo in Liga LEB Oro con il Palencia. Nel febbraio 2018, a 39 anni, inizia un'ultima parentesi, sempre nel campionato di LEB Oro ma in questo caso al Valladolid.

Ren was an orphan who was abandoned outside a port warehouse as soon as he was born. According to Nobuo Terashima, the incident was even reported in the news. Subsequently, he stayed at the same orphanage as Yasushi. After Yasu was adopted by the Takagis, Ren frequently visited his friend, so much so that Yasu's foster mother offered to adopt him, an offer which he refused.
Later, he formed a band, Blast, with Yasu as leader/drummer, himself as bassist, Nobu as guitarist and Nana Osaki as lead vocals. He also fell in love with Nana. (Like his idol, Sid Vicious, Ren wears a a chain with a lock around his neck that has the initial, "R" on it, to which only Nana has the key.) Blast was moderately successful in their town, but Ren doubted that they would make it big. He was offered to join Trapnest but declined because of Nana. With Yasu convincing him, after a while he then joined Trapnest as their lead guitarist. Their leader, Takumi Ichinose(Trapnest's bassist), is a good friend of Yasu as well. As he left Blast, he also tearfully broke up with Nana.
After Hachi (Nana Komatsu) learnt about his relationship with Nana, she invited Nana to Trapnest's concert back in her hometown. The couple made up, but Nana promised Ren that Blast would become more popular than Trapnest; their new bassist, Okazaki Shinichi, wanted to surpass Ren himself.
Although the couple had made up, Ren was still afraid that Yasu may become his rival for Nana. Also, Nana was uncomfortable with Trapnest's vocalist, Layla (Reira Serizawa), who seemed to be interested in Ren as well. To make matters worse, a tabloid magazine, SEARCH, was determined to expose the couple's relationship, as Blast's popularity had been rising steadily.
After his relationship with Nana was found out by SEARCH magazine, Ren proposed to Nana because he felt that Yasu was going to take Nana away from him. Nana accepted but they both felt unsure about the marriage.
In the manga, when Shin was caught smoking marijuana, Ren ended his relationship with Nana. Five years later Nana is rumored dead but Blast and Hachi are still looking for her. Hachi's only wish was that Nana and Ren be together, implying that they haven't reconciled since.

Talkies Network	on March 26, 2018
Written By: Nick Poulimenakos
In a press release today, Marvel Studios announced that principal photography has begun for Captain Marvel, the highly anticipated 21st entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The film is directed by the writing/directing team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, whose credits include Mississippi Grind and Half Nelson.

Home Community EL dumping outrage
EL dumping outrage
EAST London handyman Trevor Watson is outraged. The reason for his anger? The shocking state of the Umtiza Nature Reserve near the Buffalo Pass, as well as the grounds of the East London race track.
BIRD'S EYE VIEW: Illegal dumping close to the East London race track, above, and Buffalo Pass, right, is an eyesore and has a negative effect on the environment Pictures: TREVOR WATSON
Watson visited the area and, through foot patrols and aerial coverage, discovered that illegal dumping was fast becoming rife in the formerly pristine area.
From illegally dumped animal body parts – possibly as a result of stock theft – to mountains of dirty nappies, plastic, food wrappers and other litter, the reserve is fast becoming a dumping ground for refuse.
Illegal dumping sites can also be seen on the race track grounds.
"Clearly the city management is inept. One just has to look at the scale of filth dumped in the reserve and at our race track to name just two areas – and there are many more sites all along the main road," said Watson.
Despite the various negative repercussions illegal dumping has on the environment and the city including pollution of the air, water and soil, the dumping in the Umtiza Nature Reserve is set to have a negative impact on the survival of the umtiza tree which can be found there.
The unique evergreen tree is endemic to the Eastern Cape and is only found in the forested kloofs in southern coastal and scarp forests in the East London, Kentani and King William's Town districts.
"The umtiza tree is a valuable asset that needs to be safeguarded and preserved for future generations. Right now it is not being looked after," said Watson, who grew up with a fond appreciation of the flora and fauna in South Africa.
He said he had found the heads of goats and sheep, hooves and entrails during recent visits.
"The smell was disgusting. This area needs urgent ongoing policing and a massive clean-up to enable it to again be called a nature reserve."

Watson said it was believed that the closure of dumpsites in and around East London might have resulted in an escalation of the illegal dumping currently found in the area and that a need existed for Buffalo City Municipality (BCM) to put sustainable systems in place closer to the city, while enforcing environmental laws.
The closest official dumpsite is in Berlin, a distance most people from East London or King William's Town are unwilling to travel.
When contacted about the illegal dumpsites in these two areas, BCM spokeswoman Bathandwa Diamond said the city had various programmes running simultaneously in order to curb illegal dumping.
The programmes included the "GO Green, Keep BCMM Clean" campaign aimed at educating the community about the effects of illegal dumping.
According to Diamond, a second initiative, started by citizens in 2010, calls for community members to adopt a piece of land where there is illegal dumping activity in their neighbourhood.
"The city also puts up the 'stop illegal dumping' signs but people ignore these and some signs are stolen," Diamond added.
Anger over filthy city
Watson believes that the municipality needs to create small, well-controlled collection sites where steel skips are placed within easy reach of the public to dump waste into specific bins.
"Separate bins for glass, metal, plastic etc could be colour coded and set up for easy retrieval and placed by the municipality at various places convenient to the general public.
"An immediate clean-up of these two areas is also desperately needed, as well as rugged policing by people empowered to arrest and prosecute those caught in the act of illegal dumping."

Darby and The Dead (2022) Review
By Allison Rose , Dec 01, 2022 08:56 AM EST
Darby and the Dead offers some serious moments wrapped in a light-hearted hard candy shell
Back in 1999 writer/director, M.Night Shyamalan introduced audiences to his psychological thriller The Sixth Sense. Starring Bruce Willis (Die Hard) and Haley Joel Osment (Pay It Forward), the film revolved around a boy who could see and communicate with the dead, and like all Shyamalan movies, there is a surprise twist no one saw coming. Imagine over twenty years later 20th Century Studios reworked that thriller and marketed the idea to tween audiences. The result would be the Hulu Original Film, Darby and the Dead. Premiering on the streaming network on December 2, 2022, Darby and the dead takes a lighthearted look at the world of a teenage psychic medium.
When Darby Harper (Riele Downs; Four Brothers) was approximately ten years old she died...briefly. However, once revived, she started seeing dead people; lost souls who needed her help to resolve issues they have on Earth so they can peacefully "cross over". Sadly, Darby's mom didn't survive the accident which caused Darby to become closed off and somewhat of a recluse among her peers. She doesn't care about fitting in and shuns the "popular" girls in high school. However, when one of those popular girls, Capri (Auli'i Cravalho; the voice of Moana) accidentally dies, her ghost stalks Darby until she becomes friends with Capri's crowd and convinces them to hold Capri's previously planned birthday party as a memorial to Capri.
Casting Directors, Bonnie Lee Bouman (Black Beauty), Chelsea Ellis Bloch (Honey Boy), and Marisol Roncali (Deadpool 2) did an exceptional job finding the two lead actresses, Downs and Cravalho, to portray these very different types of high school students. Capri is stuck up and selfish. Darby, once an aspiring cheerleader, is now a wallflower, avoiding most conversations - unless, of course, she is conversing with those who are no longer living - and simply blending into the background. These young women play their stereotypical characters perfectly. They also have great chemistry and play off each other well. Other standouts amongst the cast include Chosen Jacobs (It) as a new, transfer student who has the same abilities as Darby, and veteran actor, Tony Danza (Who's the Boss?) as Gary, a Spirit who is a "stayer" (someone who doesn't want to cross over yet because he is waiting for his wife to pass).
Darby and the Dead offers some serious moments wrapped in a light-hearted hard candy shell. There are the typical teen movie tropes and snarky comments about fashion and the "dorks" in high school. Of course, there is the obligatory "rager", a high school party to end all parties and a moral lesson to be learned that is all wrapped up in a nice neat bow. The mean girl learns to be nice and the quiet girl becomes more outgoing and both learn to be less judgmental.
While the writing is good, if not, predictable, the costume and set designs are well done. It would be impossible to be one of the most popular girls in school who, after death, tries to makeover the school hermit into a popular girl unless there are some excellent wardrobe choices made. Costume Designer Moira Anne Meyer (Beast) nails the clothing from start to finish.
Darby and the Dead takes a somewhat comical slant to the topic of psychic medium abilities. I have no doubts tweens will love the film enhanced by some decent music. However, the underlying themes are tried and true and unfortunately not original. If you go in with low expectations, you may come out the other end having spent less than two hours reliving your younger years and remembering those cheesy movies you watched before you became a full-fledged adult.
