I wrote this story for a Halloween meeting of the Victoria Writers' Society.
The last of the sunset gleams through the trees, black bars against the thick, yellow light. On the beach it would be barely dusk, but here in the woods, night gathers under the trees.
Carol quickens her steps, reminding herself to be careful of roots and rocks that could trip her up. It's only going to get darker, and she doesn't want to be late. "If you don't make it in an hour, I'll come for you," Tom said before leaving her alone and sprinting up the trail. But she's determined that he won't have to.
She glances back one more time at the fading light, dull gold now. How quickly it's changed! Soon the colours will fade to ashes of themselves, then to grey, then black. The faster she makes it to the campsite, the better. Tom will be there; he'll have a lantern going, and a fire, and supper cooking.
Her goal is the campsite (and Tom), and to achieve it all she needs to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other. It's less than three kilometers – 2.6, in fact. She must have covered half a kilometer already, so that leaves two and a bit. Half an hour should get her there. Thirty minutes, 1,800 seconds, 1,800 heartbeats. No, probably more like 3,000 heartbeats, considering that the trail is mostly uphill – slopes and switchbacks alternating with flatter sections. That's what she remembers from the way down, but it was full daylight then, the sun filling the forest with bright greens and friendly browns and shards of brilliant sky behind the swaying tree-tops. The two of them swung quickly along the trail, a picnic lunch in Tom's pack and the books and blanket in Carol's.
Now it's a different world. Absence of colour gives shapes and sounds a greater significance. The rocks sticking up from the trail's surface are lumpier, the roots more numerous; the packed earth, overlaid with cedar bark shreds and fir needles, is softer. All the stumps look like bears now, not just the ones scorched in forest fires.
On their second date, she'd told Tom about her fear of the dark, especially outside, in the woods. She'd had nightmares about being pursued through endless trees by… something. (That was the worst of it – not just being chased, but not knowing by what).
She didn't expect him to remember, much less help her with a problem she'd lived with so long that it was part of her, like her springtime pollen allergies and occasional migraines. But Tom was a can-do kind of guy. After a decade in the Forces, he'd gone into business as a personal coach, offering wilderness boot camp experiences to executives and community leaders.
That was two months ago. Now they're camping in the woods, working on exercises every night to raise Carol's comfort level with outdoor darkness. The first night they walked around the campground – empty on this post-equinox weekend – without flashlights. Then Carol did the walk alone, with a flashlight in her pocket to be used only as a last resort. Tom was very clear on that. "It's a psychological prop, like a crutch you don't really need." She'd made it, but only just, the old panic dogging her steps along the gravel road.
Carol smiles, remembering, anticipating. She must be halfway now, and the light isn't quite gone. She can still make out the pattern of bark on the nearest tree trunks, the patches of lichen on the rocks. But the glimpses of sky above the trees are pale grey and fading fast.
She stops. There's a new sound. Not the ever-present whisper of wind in the treetops, not the receding sigh of ocean. This is a distinct sound – a snap, a snick – repeated three times. Not quite metallic, but almost, like something being released.
It was deliberate. Something wanted you to hear it.
She stands still, nerves buzzing, willing herself invisible. The trees stand like rubberneckers at an accident, avidly waiting. The woods have become a scrim behind which something is lurking, huge and imminent.
Instinctively, Carol turns toward the last pale patch of sky. It's a little larger than the rest and remains distinct, framed by two black tree trunks. Between their verticals is a vague shape – hunched shoulders, a humped head?
He should know, after two tours in Bosnia and one in Afghanistan. He must have done things she can't even imagine.
But I can imagine other things, yes I can. What was that noise, what's that shape?
That noise she heard – it was meant for her. She was meant to hear it. If she looked, she would see shapes undulating in the darkness under the waiting trees. She can feel something thrumming, far behind her, but getting closer. Something.
It wants her to scream. The sound of her scream would break an invisible barrier, thin as the film of molecules that holds a raindrop together, and let loose the terror. If she looks back again, will she see the humped shape growing larger, growing tentacles, moving closer? She'll scream then, for sure.
The trees can't help her. They stand like mourners at a graveside, making futile gestures of empty comfort over her hurrying form. She's all alone, it's up to her to save herself.
Faster, Carol, faster! Don't think, just walk.
She's running now, through the silent screams that hover in the air, waiting for her to animate them – screams waiting to be screamed, hanging from the trees, slung from branch to branch like cobwebs.
Run! Now it's time to run. See – there's a light! It's the campsite, it's Tom! Run!
Carol clamps her mouth shut and runs, the scream rising in her throat and nearly choking her. But now the trail widens into the campground road, the sky opens above her, grey and benign. She's nearly there, she's done it, done it, done it. Relief never felt this good.
The campsite is empty. The Coleman lamp blazes on the solid wooden table. The tent and truck stand where they left them. But there's no fire, no meal cooking, no Tom.
"Tom! I'm back, I made it!" Carol looks around, dizzy with relief, catching her breath. Where is he?
A noise. A faint crunch of boots on gravel. Behind her. She whirls around.
He lunges, face contorted, eyes blazing.
Good story! I also read "Welcome to the Witch House." Very intriguing. I hope you continue with that story, as I'm anxious to read more.
Thanks, Marie! I originally intended to write a novel based on H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Dreams in the Witch House," just as I did with "Herbert West, Reanimator." Reading the original story again, though, I didn't think I could improve on the plot by making the characters more complex. You never know, though; some day I may get back to it. Thanks for reading and commenting, in any case.

Installation Cost
Artificial Grass Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore city in Maryland State is a beautiful place to live in and has been a devoted sports town. However, resident of the city are concern that some sports students will not have a place to play. According to the Baltimore news, high school football team near Baltimore city will be competing on the field of grass and soil that has been there for two years because the project to replace with modern artificial turf is still on hold.
Global Syn-Turf Sep 12, 2014
Global Syn-Turf is the largest artificial grass manufacturer and supplier in the United States with warehouses and distribution centers nationwide.
Artificial grass fields, which cut costs on maintenance and decrease risk of injuries, have already been installed at Wild Lake, Long Reach, Oakland Mills, Atholton and Hammond high schools. But the construction at Glenelg high is on hold because of the septic field underneath the football surface. In the early 2000s, the football field was torn up so that a new septic field could be installed to facilitate expansion of the school. A couple of years after they put the septic field underneath the sports surface, the grass would never grow as good as it used to.
Last year, the boys and girls sports teams had to play all of their home games on Western Regional's artificial turf fields due to wear and tear on Glenelg's field during the fall. After the game was over, everybody agreed that playing on synthetic turf was comfortable and durable with no pits and bumps like grass fields have. But it was not their home field, and disappointed players and fans are worried that they would play off campus again this upcoming spring.
For two years, coaches and players are requesting to replace the natural grass with artificial turf. Many are disappointed with the hold up on this project, but they do not have much of the control of the decision. Working through the issues inherent to the 56-year old high school has been challenging, but coaches and players are maintaining an optimistic outlook. The Baltimore County had every intention of installing artificial turf this summer, but the unexpected difficulty with the old septic field disrupted the project.
Because they know that there is always some complication with their grass field, coaches and students are not excited about the progress of the artificial grass project and are staying neutral on the updates from workers. On late July, the Howard County ground crews went to work reinstalling top soil and grass in preparation for the fall football home games. The engineers want to be sure before the installation what is under the field's surface so that not to stumble on the issues in the future. They are trying to install artificial grass in eight weeks when the school is in the summer break, and any delays that could acquire due to weather, literally puts the engineers in a tough position.
For two years, the high school near Baltimore had a project to put synthetic grass was on hold. But next year, the coaches are confident that Glenelg will join Mt. Hebron, River Hill and Centennial, as the last quarter of Baltimore County public high schools to have the artificial turf fields installed.

Sabarimala Board Seeks More Time To Enforce Top Court Order On Women
HomeKeralaSabarimala Board Seeks More Time To Enforce Top Court Order On Women
This Article is From Nov 20, 2018
Around 1,000 women have registered themselves to visit the Sabarimala shrine despite massive protests that have been raging since the Supreme Court order.
KeralaReported by A Vaidyanathan, Edited by Anindita SanyalUpdated: November 20, 2018 12:02 am IST
Supreme Court order ended the ban on the entry of women aged between 10 and 50 years at Sabarimala
A temple board governing the famous hill shrine of Sabarimala has appealed to the Supreme Court for more time to implement the court's order allowing the entry of women of all ages. The the Travancore Devaswom Board told the top court today that it would need time to prepare for the entry of women. Infrastructure to cater to women devotees, like washrooms and other facilities have to be created especially since the existing facilities at Pamba and Nilakal were washed away in the floods that ravaged the state in August, the board said.
The appeal came a week after the top court agreed to review its decision that ended the traditional ban on the entry of women aged between 10 and 50 years at the popular hill shrine.
Protests have been raging since a five-judge bench led by then Chief Justice of India Dipak Mishra passed the order, which various sections claim pits two fundamental rights - on gender equality and the freedom to practice religion - against each other.
With the court refusing to put the order on freeze it till the hearing in January, around 1000 women have registered themselves to visit the shrine. They, however, have sought protection in view of the massive protests since October, that saw a dozen-odd women who attempted the journey being threatened, heckled and forced to turn back.
In its appeal for more time, the board, too, has cited the protests, saying it needs to put in place proper security measures that would enable women to visit the shrine.
The Left-led state government contends that the protests are backed by the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh - an accusation the party has denied.
The BJP, which is in the opposition in Kerala, however, has questioned the need for stationing 15,000 security personnel at the shrine during the current phase of opening.
Before midnight yesterday, the police had cracked down on a group of protesters who gathered outside the temple and eventually arrested around 70 of them.
The board has also argued that a Centrally Empowered Committee has stopped all construction work at Pamba and Nilakal - two key stops on the route to the hill shrine. Since Pamba is in a forest area, until the objections of the committee are addressed, facilities for women pilgrims can't be built, it said.

A California family has become the latest to be caught up in the growing row about the treatment of passengers by airlines in the United States, after they were removed from their flight - and threatened with having their children taken into care if they did not comply.
Brian and Brittany Schear were flying from Hawaii to Los Angeles on April 23, on a Delta airlines flight, when they were asked to give up their seats.
"Well, they can just remove me from the plane," said Mr Schear.
The couple was with two of their three children; their two-year-old son Grayson, and a one-year-old daughter.
They had found travelling from LA to Hawaii with infants on their laps tiring, and so for their return flight their teenage son, Mason, 18, had agreed to fly on another plane, in advance. The family believed that this meant one of the infants could have Mason's seat – and all four members of the family therefore have their own seat.
But when Mr and Mrs Schear were seated on the plane, with the two infants beside them, one in the 18-year-old's seat, they were informed that they could not fly.
Mr Schear said he had bought another ticket for Mason, and that one of the infants was using it. Delta said that was not allowed.
Delta representatives then told them that federal regulations prohibited a two-year-old from travelling on his own seat. The FAA website does not state that a two-year-old cannot travel on his own seat; merely that it is recommended they travel on an approved safety seat, such as a car seat.
Mr Schear argued that he had paid for the seat – albeit for his teenager – and so should not be ordered to give it up.
"I'm not trying to cause a problem," said Mr Schear, in a video clip which was uploaded to YouTube.
Mr Schear insists that that is not true.
"I've been in many flights where people move around seats," he said.
"After it's in the air," the representative replied.
After their discussion, a woman introducing herself as Jenna came to speak to Mr Schear and said that federal regulations forbid the two-year-old child from flying in the car seat, placed on the plane seat.
"He can't occupy a seat because he's two years old – and that's FAA regulations," she said.
Mr Schear asked what the family was supposed to do, at night, in an airport – asking whether they were all expected to sleep inside the airport.
"From this point you're on your own," she replied.
The family eventually left the plane. Mr Schear later said that he had to scramble for a hotel room and pay $2,000 for another flight the next day, on United.
Her husband accused Delta of overbooking the flight, and said that four people were waiting to board as they left, taking the four seats they vacated.
The legal position is unclear.
However, if the family was travelling on four tickets one of which was bought in their teenage son's name, it would appear to favour Delta, who insisted that neither of the infants could fly on Mason's seat, if the seat was still in his name.
According to Delta's website, a two year old can fly on his own seat, in a car seat placed on the airline seat, if that seat was bought for him. Delta appeared to be arguing that as the seat was not bought in his name, he could not fly on it.
The one-year-old could have flown for free on her parents' lap. Or, if a ticket was bought for her, she could fly in a car seat placed on the plane seat.
A spokesman for Delta told The Telegraph: "We are sorry for the unfortunate experience our customers had with Delta, and we've reached out to them to refund their travel and provide additional compensation.
"Delta's goal is to always work with customers in an attempt to find solutions to their travel issues.
"That did not happen in this case and we apologise."
The incident comes after United Airlines reached a settlement last week over a passenger who was dragged down the isle of one of its jets, after refusing to give up his seat.

Safe Passage aka 'Paddy' is a 2013, 16.1 hh gelding. He last raced on December 20, 2018. He has been enjoying some barefoot time being turned out and getting to be a horse. These pictures do not do him justice. He is a big boned good looking guy who moves so free from his shoulder and hip. He naturally oversteps at the walk. Again, he is barefoot and we had him trot up and down about 15 times on the asphalt and not once did he hesitate or take a bad step. He should make a fabulous dressage horse or maybe even an eventer.
'Paddy' carries himself like a much larger horse than he is. He does have some racehorse ankles of which the owner has x-rays. They will be included for release to anyone interested in him and can be compared to x-rays you will have done in a prepurchase exam. He retired sound. We feel that he is not for a novice first-time horse owner because he has real talent and should go to someone who can retrain him to his full potential. He has way too much potential to just sit around.
I'am a Hot Mess aka 'Red' is a 2014, 16 + hand high chestnut Thoroughbred mare. This girl is the complete package. She is thickly built and an easy keeper. She is great to ride on the track and absolutely loves to be brushed and handled on the ground.
She is up-to-date on everything. 'Red' loads on a trailer quietly and she gives kisses to her groom when asked. We feel she would make a super nice upper-level horse. She is a chestnut mare, and yes they sometimes get a bad rap, but not this one.
'Red' is an exceptional horse and she should fit into any program. We feel that with all her talent she should most likely go to someone with experience at taking horses to serious competitions. This girl is the complete package and will take you far in the show world.
Visit our website for more photos and information. Call 770-704-6595 to see if she might be a match for you.

"Sarge" is a well-rounded individual. "Sarge" had had no injuries or surgeries. We know his complete history. His owner/trainer/breeder has trained his grandmother, mother and all his siblings.

We have sold other horses by this owner/trainer and they went right to work with no issues at all. They were all as represented and passed their pre-purchase exams. This horse will be easy to transition to sport horse no matter what you choose to do. He is a super cool gelding who gallops with his head bowed kindly on the track.

"Big Cheese" is a 2007, 16.1 hh Thoroughbred gelding. This is a super fun horse to ride. He is forward when you want him to be but will quietly stand at the track for an hour before he trains and he loves to train. His legs are clean and he is free of vices.
He would make a super jumper or field hunter. We feel could jump the moon in the jumper ring and would fit in just fine in the hunt field. He is good with the blacksmith and walks right on a step up or ramp trailer. He does well with turn out and is broke to the mounting block already. He is one of his rider's all time favorite horses to gallop. She has had a blast riding him over these past 15 months.
He came off-the-track in February and is rested and ready for a new career.

NJ Assembly approves new driver's license requirements
David Levinsky
dlevinsky@thebct.com
TRENTON — New Jersey lawmakers voted Monday to advance legislation adding new requirements to the state's graduated driver's license program for both teenage drivers and their parents.
The proposed changes would be the first update to the state's GDL system in seven years and would require young, novice drivers to undergo more supervised practice before graduating to a probationary license. It would also require more parental involvement.
The proposals follow the release of an AAA study earlier this summer that found drivers who are 16 and 17 years old are three times more likely than adults to be involved in a fatal accident.
"Driver inexperience is a major factor that increases the risk of an accident," Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt, D-6th of Cherry Hill, said Monday after the Assembly voted to approve both bills updating the GDL program.
"This legislation will encourage more parents to have conversations about distracted driving, nighttime driving and impaired driving with their children that will help set expectations to ultimately make all motorists in New Jersey safer."
New Jersey's GDL system was originally created in 2001 and mandates that 16-year-old drivers receive professional driver's education, and that others under 21 undergo periods of restricted and supervised driving before they can obtain a basic license.
Among the restrictions, probationary drivers can only drive between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m., and with a limited number of passengers.
Another restriction that went into effect in April 2010 mandated that all probationary drivers display a red decal on the license plate of their vehicles so police officers can identify them as subject to the GDL restrictions.
The decal requirement, known as Kyleigh's Law, was named after a 16-year-old Morris County girl who was killed in 2006 while riding a car driven by a teenager with a probationary license.
One of Lampitt's bills would extend the learner's permit phase of the GDL program from six months to a year, and require completion of at least 50 hours of supervised practice driving before a teen could apply for a probationary license.
At least 10 hours of practice time would have to be completed at night.
Lampitt's second bill would require new drivers under 18 to complete an orientation program with a parent or guardian before being issued a learner's permit.
To become law, the bills need to be approved by the Senate and Gov. Chris Christie.
AAA supports both changes, arguing that they would make New Jersey roads safer and are supported by motorists. The club has cited its crash study, as well as a recent survey that found that 46 percent of state drivers believe stronger penalties for distracted driving, more active guidance by parents and more practice time behind the wheel would help prevent teen crashes.
An earlier 2015 survey found 77 percent of respondents in favor of requiring more practice time for novice drivers, something that's required in 46 states.
"The best way to learn to be a safe driver is behind the wheel with an engaged supervising driver," said Tracy Noble, manager of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "Our survey shows that motorists feel the same way, and the only way to ensure that teens are getting practice time behind the wheel is to make it part of the GDL requirements."

Shetland rugby team came from behind to beat fourth-placed Aberdeenshire XV 12-10 yesterday in the RBS Caledonia League Division 2 North match at the Clickimin pitch.
In very muddy conditions Aberdeenshire went ahead with two unconverted tries, leading 10-0 at half time.
Shetland began to dominate the match in the second half and Harry Morton scored a deserved try in the corner after some excellent teamwork.
In the dying seconds of the match Luke Cromwell ran over the line to score a second try between the posts for Shetland. Jon Pulley coolly converted the try to put Shetland in the lead.
With their victory Shetland move up two places to seventh in the RBS Caledonia League Division 2 North.
Coupled with last weeks back to back fixtures away from home with only 15 guys both games a good return of points over the last 3 outings. Well done to all at Shetland rugby.

Q: How can messages be appearing on signs if the player didn't place them? In my son's Minecraft PE world, random signs keep appearing. One said "angels fear to tread fools rush in" [sic] and the other said "you will dide" [sic]. He found these particular signs underground after following a trail of rare rock. A misquote and a spelling mistake suggest it's someone playing around.  But I know it wasn't him because he was slightly freaked out...
How does this happen? Thanks :)

In this showcase series we feature the urban exploration (Urbex) photography of Yannick Vandermolen.
Jan, can you tell us a little about your background?
I live in Belgium, and I'm working both as a graphic designer and webdesigner. I had some photography courses during my artistic studies, but I never practiced it much after it. I've been playing guitar in band for some years, and I really began practicing photography when the band split in 2008-2009.
In 2008, my wife bought a reflex, a Nikon D60, because she was working on a stop motion short film, so I borrowed it and began photography. I do mostly urbex photography (urban exploration), which consists mostly in exploring abandoned places.
Can you tell us more about this Prison 15H series?
I've already explored many places, but I never had the opportunity to visit a prison. When I heard about this prison, I really wanted to see it by myself. Abandoned places can tell a lot of stories, and for sure this one had a lot to tell.
I can't really say when it's been abandoned, but it must have been quite recently because I found papers dating from 2010 inside it, and that's really great because you can get a good idea of what it must be like to be in jail in 2010. I even managed to find a small folder which was given to the prisoners when they arrived there, explaining the way the prison was running; schedules of the day, what they can do and what they can't, it was very interesting.
This prison is built on star shaped model. This means that the main entrance is made of a rotunda, from which you can access three wings with the block cells. Each block cell contains several floors, it's really huge.
It's also divided in two different section : there's the star shaped building which is the men's prison, and just beside of it, but separated by a big wall, there's the women's prison. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any access to the women's prison.
Though abandoned, the place sees many visitors : photographers, street artists, vandals, copper thieves,… We met a few photographers while exploring it, and we've seen many graffitis and of course the work of the copper thieves, but fortunately we didn't met any of them.
I've never crossed the path of copper thieves, but I've heard that if you meet them, you'd better run away. I thought this place would be very oppressive, but I didn't felt like it, I've been in places that I've found much creepier than this one, but it's all a question of personal feelings.
I use Nikon cameras. I worked with a D3000 for some years, which I was happy with, but I felt limited after some time. I didn't want to buy a full frame because I would have to buy new lenses and also because it's heavier than an APS-C. When Nikon released the Nikon D7100 , I thought it was what I was looking for, so I bought it.
For the lenses, I mainly use the 18-105mm that comes with the D7100. Not a perfect lens, but not a bad one either. I mostly use this one because I don't like to change lenses while exploring. You know, abandoned places can be very windy and dusty, and the 18-105mm is a very zoom… Other than this lens, I also use a Nikkor 35mm 1.8 AF and an old Nikkor 50mm 1.4 without AF that I bought on a flea market.
I really like these two lenses, the image quality can't be compared to those of a zoom. I also plan to buy a Nikon wide angle lens in the near future, something like a 10mm, because I'm sometimes being frustrated not to be able to take the shot that I want just because I'm against a wall or there's a hole behind me.
I'm always working with a tripod because I'm often in very dark areas. Another reason why I work with a tripod is that I make HDR. I'm a Linux user, so I use only open-source softwares. I use Darktable for the Raw files, Luminance HDR for creating the HDR files, and then I use Gimp for the final touches.
Do you any plans for a new series in the near future?
Of course, I plan to work on new series. I still have a lot of pictures to work on, I try to go on exploration once a week, sometimes twice. There are a lot of abandoned places in Belgium.
I'd like to do more residential places like old houses or castles. Speaking of castles, there's one that I'd really like to shoot, I already went there once, but couldn't find any entrance. The place is also very well secured with guards patrolling the area, but it's an incredible place.
I didn't had much times these last weeks to go on exploration because I'm preparing an exhibition of my work in an art gallery and it takes me a lot of times. I also started a 365 project to force me to do something else than my usual urbex shots. It's a very hard but also a very rewarding experience. I would highly recommend doing it to any photographer that feels stuck in his style and wants to refresh.

Karthago - Rock 'n' Roll Testament
Public Enemy - Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black
Coming down after the twin high-water marks of It Takes a Nation of Millions and Fear of a Black Planet, Public Enemy shifted strategy a bit for their fourth album, Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black. By and large, they abandon the rich, dense musicality of Planet, shifting toward a sleek, relentless, aggressive attack -- Yo! Bum Rush the Show by way of the lessons learned from Millions. This is surely a partial reaction to their status as the Great Black Hope of rock & roll; they had been embraced by a white audience almost in greater numbers than black, leading toward rap-rock crossovers epitomized by this album's leaden, pointless remake of "Bring the Noise" as a duet with thrash metallurgists Anthrax. It also signals the biggest change here -- the transition of the Bomb Squad to executive-producer status, leaving a great majority of the production to their disciples, the Imperial Grand Ministers of Funk. This isn't a great change, since the Public Enemy sound has firmly been established, giving the new producers a template to work with, but it is a notable change, one that results in a record with a similar sound but a different feel: a harder, angrier, determined sound, one that takes its cues from the furious anger surging through Chuck D's sociopolitical screeds. And this is surely PE's most political effort, surpassing Millions through the use of focused, targeted anger, a tactic evident on Planet. Yet it was buried there, due to the seductiveness of the music.
Here, everything is on the surface, with the bluntness of the music hammering home the message. Arriving after two records where the words and music were equally labyrinthine, folding back on each other in dizzying, intoxicating ways, it is a bit of a letdown to have Apocalypse be so direct, but there is no denying that the end result is still thrilling and satisfying, and remains one of the great records of the golden age of hip-hop.

Michio Kurihara - Sunset Notes
Michio Kurihara's sublime solo debut is an impressionist concept record that refracts the golden radiance of the magic hour, its nine songs drawing inspiration from nine different sunsets spanning across the calendar year. A largely instrumental effort, Sunset Notes is foremost a showcase for Kurihara's remarkable guitar work -- his leads soar like exotic birds in flight, brilliantly evoking the moods and colors of the solitary moments in time the songs capture.

entered for the National Heritage Council competition on the theme
I a m a n A f r i c a n
and won a copy Adv Sonwabile Mancotywa's second edition of 'Critical Conversations about Heritage'
Born on African soil I consider myself an African, though the colour of my skin often provokes the reaction that I cannot be. Away from the continent Africans are considered to have dark skin; on the landmass very often too.
I hear the contemporary call, "Give us our land back - you stole it from us". Really? Me? A whitey from the Cape. How did I do this?
So I mentally travel back through the eons of human evolution, from Homo species long extinct to the development of modern Homo sapiens, first appearing as we know in Africa.
Humans have always migrated, whether within the principle from trees to savannah, to a little further afield, then spreading through the landscape, across oceans and ultimately colonising the whole planet.
Somewhere in the last 60 000 years modern man left Africa, believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of the Arabian peninsula, through the Middle East, and then settling in what is now Europe, displacing Homo neanderthalensis, although not without some interbreeding. The tentacles continued to open, reaching the furthest corners of habitable places: New Zealand and Tasmania on one side, the west coast of South America on the other. These were the first of subsequent waves, often subduing earlier settlers and colonising their lands.
Amongst this melange were those carrying genes that undertook this epic journey, varying and adapting en route, and ultimately percolating down to me.
The first farming practices with advanced tools, then settlements, occurred in the Fertile Crescent, often considered the Cradle of Civilisation, and this technology too became part of the human evolutionary cycle. Not only agriculture and irrigation techniques, but the manufacture of glass and development of the wheel was evidence of progress.
With the creation of sophisticated weapons, travel modes took expansion in a violent direction and on a larger scale to dominate lands and peoples not originally belonging to their nations - Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Spanish and the British amongst many others aggressively colonised major parts of the planet that were already substantially settled by previous occupiers.
Somewhat later in this complex melee my paternal grandfather emigrated from Ireland to South Africa, ultimately resulting in my birth here half a century later.
The remaining San peoples in Southern Africa, sparse as the numbers may be, are considered to be the best example of the beginnings of modern man. All of our genetic information can be linked to this group, indicating that we are all joined as a species.
In effect I, or at least my genomes, have travelled substantially out of Africa and circumnavigated back to where I began. I am, therefore, an African.
And with it a philosophy. The first peoples did not exploit the concept of land ownership as understood in the modern world, so an approach for an equitable spread must be the agenda.

Scenes from the Bo-Kaap. Photographs: Chris Murphy.
Photograph from BOKAAP . . . Faces and Facades, by Lesley and Stephen Townsend. Published by Howard B Timmins 1977.
The public meeting held at the Castle of Good Hope on Saturday 16 March, which attended by residents and members of SAHRA to discuss the heritage declaration of the Bo-Kaap, was stimulating and productive.
Here, deep in the bowels of a structure completed 340 years ago and representing colonialism and suppression, two groups worked enthusiastically towards a common goal, that of establishing the Bo-Kaap as a National Heritage Site. There does appear to be an argument to seek World Heritage status too.
Facilitated by the Castle CEO, Calvyn Gilfellan, there was a definite feeling in the air of SAHRA standing firmly behind the desires of the community to progress, by initially establishing twenty individual properties as heritage sites to form the basis of an overall declaration.
After the appalling decision to flatten District Six, and the debacle presently been revealed about the lack of government progress regarding restitution, I believe there is added pressure to ensure that the Bo-Kaap is adequately protected for the future.
Presentations by Ben Mwasinga, Gcobani Sipoyo and Heidi Weldon of SAHRA further explained the intricacies of the process and opened up dialogue from community members who raised interesting and valid points. The officials appeared to welcome and embrace all views.
I came away from the meeting feeling that this was heritage in action, with proactivity from SAHRA and the Bo-Kaap residents, hopefully leading to a successful declaration of a Provincial Heritage Site.

M a t j i e s r i v i e r, S w a r t l a n d
In 2009 I stumbled onto the forlorn farm complex of Matjiesrivier. It must have made a grand appearance at one time, snuggled magnificently in a shallow valley alongside a stream from which it derives its name, in the middle of a large triangle formed by Porterville, Piketberg and Moorreesburg.
It sadly stood in a deserted state then, but although all the interior wood had been very neatly removed (the joists sawed off at the walls), it appeared to be structurally sound.
When I again viewed it in February 2015 a different story was apparent: many of the walls were collapsing, exposing the sun-dried bricks to the elements, hastening its demise.
A Surveyor General diagram dated 1844 indicates that a building was already on site; although the format of the present one does not seem to depict that period, it is highly possible that it is included within the construction.
A few other buildings in the group still stand, one being a set of garages containing slight references to Art Deco, indicating the group was still utilised well into the 20th century. Part of the front stoep is face-brick, which again must have a later addition.
Today space behind the main house is used as a tip. Another piece of history disappearing into a dump site.

THE OLD TIGER OATS COMPLEX
ERVEN 876, 878 and 884, MOORREESBURG. WESTERN CAPE
A brick and stone complex of multi-storey buildings
A REQUEST TO HAVE THE WORKS DECLARED A PROVINCIAL HERITAGE SITE
In 1998 the old National Monuments Council stated: . . . The National Monuments Council is most interested in the building complex as a whole, both the corrugated iron structure, as well as the permanent brick and stone building, and the chimney across the road. In our opinion the complex is as significant as some of the (few) remaining industrial buildings in Cape Town, and I refer particularly to the Old Caste Brewery in Woodstock and the historical buildings in the Breweries Complex in Newlands, which has been successfully restored by the well know architect, G Fagan, and is now a historical monument. Buildings of this type are becoming increasingly rare in this country and a fine example such as this is worthy of preservation. In many European countries as well as the United Kingdom and America, industrial buildings are highly valued and are re-used in a number of creative and exciting ways; these have proved to be an extremely valuable asset to local tourism.
The NMC would certainly not be prepared to consider approving the demolition of the Old Tiger Oats buildings in Moorreesburg and would suggest that the potential for creative re-use and restoration/renovation of the complex be explored.
Signed: Laura Robinson Dated: 27 August 1998
Unfortunately, since that period, the complex has gone through a marked deterioration, with elements having been sold off (illegally in my opinion). I am also of the view that the structures have been purposely allowed to arrive at their present sad state, perhaps with the view of demolition. According to the National Heritage Resources Act demolition without a permit from the relevant heritage authority is of course an offence.
On 1 December 2005 a local newspaper, Die Swartlander, ran an exposé on the deplorable state of the buildings, which did nothing to elicit a reaction.
In a request to Heritage Western Cape and SAHRA by Swartland Heritage Foundation, in 2004, to take action, it was stated that a situation of wilful neglect existed and that steps should be taken to enforce the owner/s to rectify the situation. The Swartland is often perceived as an area of no particular heritage importance architecturally, and situations like this go some way to reinforcing this view. If the owner/s were forced to comply with the Act, it might serve as an example to others who do not want to sustain historic buildings.
In a ROD from HWC dated 29 June 2006 it was stated that BELCom decided not to approve any demolition of the building and that it should be proposed for provincial declaration and protection.
On a subsequent visit to the complex I found someone on site removing material. After contacting the police he was removed. In a letter to the police I requested that an eye be kept on the premises. The Commissioner of Police in Moorreesburg at the time replied that in his opinion ,". . . the community will be better off if it is demolished" quoting a recent murder on site and that they could not act as a 'security firm'.
From oral research in the town it is apparent that the Tiger Oats complex was the origins of what is now Tiger Brands (the buildings are actually featured on their web page www.tigerbrands.co.za/about-us-4/tiger-brands-history), and it was of such substance in the town that the local rugby team was essentially drawn from the staff.
Originally known as Tiger Oats, Tiger Brand's first product was a breakfast oatmeal brand called Jungle Oats. A product that is still produced by Tiger Brands. The product was first conceived by a Mr Frankel towards the end of the 19th century and was finally launched in 1925. Tiger Oat's first Mill was opened in Moorreesburg, Western Cape. A second mill was opened in Maitland, Cape Town when demand outgrew the Moorreesburg's mill's capacity in 1930. The Moorreesburg mill was abandoned in about 1987. From Wikipedia.
The Tiger Oats complex (and railway station structures across the tracks) are sad examples of how buildings which could and should have a life, are neglected until such time they become unusable. Similar structures internationally (waterfront complexes in New York and London, for example) have become sought after residential units. The Old Castle Brewery in Cape Town, to which it was compared by the NMC, is evidence of a creative solution.
. . . a n d t h e d e r e l i c t r a i l w a y b u i l d i n g s
The buildings that make up the railway station have long been deserted and plundered of all assets. The fact that they constitute a large, well designed and proportioned group informs us that Moorreesburg must at one stage have been considered an important destination.
P o r t e r v i l l e R a i l w a y S t a t i o n
Porterville Station has long been closed for commercial rail traffic, although the line ends at massive grain silos.
For some years the Union Rail excursions utilised the station as a stopover, before turning around and continuing the journey.
Then an enterprise began in the old station building: a bush pub and pizza restaurant. It was so relaxing sitting on the wide platform under umbrellas. But it was doomed to failure.
The structure stood for some years - I photographed it empty in 2010 - but in February 2015 I discovered it had been totally demolished. I wonder if a permit from Heritage Western Cape was obtained.
Another of the many rail facilities that are disappearing.

TOWN OF WALLKILL - A date for a pre-trial hearing was set Thursday in the case involving a Middletown teacher accused of trying to inappropriately meet a minor in New York City over the summer.
Town Judge Joseph Owen scheduled the hearing for Nov. 8 at 3 p.m.
Middletown High School math teacher Jonathan D. Castell, 45, appeared before Owen on Thursday afternoon with his Poughkeepsie-based attorney Anthony Cillis.
The case was previously adjourned for two months to allow for attorneys to collect and review discovery.
Cillis said Thursday he wanted more time to review the details of information he received. He also noted he has received statements from potential witnesses in the case.
Castell is still suspended from his job with pay, pending the outcome of the court case, Superintendent Richard Del Moro said Thursday.
Castell was paid $96,881 last year, according to the SeeThroughNY payroll database maintained by the Empire Center for Public Policy.
Castell is charged with one count of attempting to endanger the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.
Castell was arrested in July, a few days a video of him was posted to Facebook by a citizen-run sting operation that claims its mission is to catch child predators.
Steven "Tony" Blas, from the group Team Loyalty Makes You Family, was shown in the video confronting Castell on a sidewalk in Queens.
Blas questioned Castell in the live video about his plans to meet Brittany, a 15-year-old girl Castell met online, at a nearby McDonald's.
Unbeknownst to Castell, Brittany was not a real person, but the creation of Blas' group.

1worldspace (NASDAQ|WRSP) is a satellite radio network that provides service to over 170000 subscribers in eastern and southern Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia with 96% coming from India [http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0100/t.15094.html] .
The company headquarters is located in Silver Spring, MD and additional studios are located in Washington, DC, Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Nairobi. Currently, 1worldspace employs two satellites and broadcasts 62 channels - 38 of which are content provided by international, national and regional third parties and 24 1worldspace-branded stations produced by or for 1worldspace [http://www.1worldspace.com/corporate/] . Most of the channels are available only through a subscription plan.
1worldspace is the only company with rights to the world's globally allocated spectrum for digital satellite radio.Fact|date=August 2008 However, it currently has no plans to make use of its license to broadcast to the Americas or the Caribbean. The company gained attention around 2000 because of its willingness to invest in impoverished areas and from 2006 to the present due to its financial difficulties. The company was known as "WorldSpace" until July 2008.
1worldspace has assembled a combination of news, sports, music, brand name content and educational programming which it delivers to its market in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The 62 channels (38 of which are third-party content and 24 of which are produced by or for 1worldspace) represent popular international music formats including contemporary hits, country, classic rock and jazz [http://www.1worldspace.com/corporate/] with content specific to the local geographic region. Sports coverage includes content from Fox Sports and talkSPORT in addition to regional coverage. 1worldspace also broadcasts news from well-renowned sources such as BBC, CNBC, CNN, NPR,RFI, and WRN.

1worldspace's program directors and radio jockeys operate from studios in Washington, DC, Bangalore, and Nairobi, where 18 original music and lifestyle channels are created for distribution. Four of these stations are also available in the United States on the XM Satellite Radio network.Fact|date=August 2008
The 1worldspace System
The 1worldspace system comprises three major components: the space segment, the ground segment, and the user segment. The space segment refers to the company-owned satellites that broadcast the signals over a large percentage of the eastern hemisphere. The ground segment refers to the operating and broadcasting centers. The user segment refers to the user-owned devices in which the signal is received. In addition, the company plans to implement terrestrial repeater networks in order to facilitate access to new markets in Europe and the Middle-East.
The 1worldspace system was built with companies including Alcatel Space (now Thales Alenia Space), EADS Astrium and Arianespace (France), SED (Canada), GSI (USA), Fraunhofer Institute (Germany), ST Microelectronics (Italy), Micronas (Germany) and others. [http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1315054/000119312508071173/d10k.htm]
pace segment
The orbiting satellites, AfriStar 1 and AsiaStar, and the satellite in storage are Matra Marconi Eurostar 2000+ buses built by Alcatel Space and EADS Astrium, formerly known as Matra Marconi Space. Both are geostationary orbit satellites broadcasting programs in the L-Band frequency (1452-1492 MHz range). Each of the two satellites has three downlink spot beams, with each beam covering approximately 14 million square kilometers of the earth. The AfriStar 1 satellite, launched in October 1998, is located at the 21º East Longitude orbital location with beams covering all regions of Africa, the Mediterranean basin countries, the Middle East and parts of Europe. The AsiaStar satellite, launched in March 2000, is located at the 105º East Longitude orbital location with beams covering India, China, the southern part of Russia, and southeast Asia. Plans to launch a third satellite, AmeriStar (a.k.a. CaribStar), to serve South America, Latin America, and the Caribbean from 95.0° west longitude were not carried out as the L-band frequencies used by 1worldspace are commandeered by the United States Air Force. This satellite was reconfigured and is now known as AfriStar 2. [http://space.skyrocket.de/index_frame.htm?http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/worldstar.htm] AfriStar 2 was to be launched to 21.0° east longitude in August 2007. [http://www.lyngsat.com/launches/2007.html] This satellite, not yet launched as of the present, is intended to expand coverage for Western Europe in addition to the existing coverage of AfriStar 1, which it will eventually replace. 1worldspace will use ETSI Satellite Digital Radio (SDR) open standard in the new European coverage beam. [http://www.1worldspace.com/press/01_04_2006.html] It is currently in storage at EADS Astrium's and Thales Alenia Space facilities in Toulouse, France and Stevenage, U.K. A fourth satellite of identical design, for which long lead parts have been procured and partially assembled, is also maintained in storage in Toulouse, France and can be integrated and tested for launch in an abbreviated period of time. [http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1315054/000119312508071173/d10k.htm]
Each satellite has a design life of twelve years, with an orbital maneuver life of 15 years, which means that each satellite has been designed and fueled to maintain its assigned orbital position (within 0.1 degrees) for 15 years. After that point, the satellite must be decommissioned. The AfriStar satellite has developed a defect in its solar panels. As a result of this defect, the energy collected by those panels is less than intended. Based upon the past few years, operational experience with this issue and consultations with Astrium, it is believed that the defect's likely effect is limited to potential satellite power inadequacy during solar eclipses. In consultation with Astrium, the company has implemented operational procedures that would extend the useful life of the satellite through careful management of the power generated by the solar arrays. Such procedures, which are expected to be invoked only during the critical eclipse periods, may result in a temporary and relatively insignificant reduction of the power radiated by one or more of its beams with a resulting reduction of the broadcast coverage area.Fact|date=August 2008
The regional operations centers for the satellites are located in Silver Spring, Maryland for AfriStar and Melbourne, Australia for AsiaStar.Fact|date=August 2008 These centers manage the performance and status of the satellites by controlling them and monitoring their. The system architecture is identical for each region.
Telemetry, command and ranging (TCR) stations consist of an X-Band uplink command and control system and an L-Band telemetry monitoring system. A backup mode has also been provided using an S Band link from Bangalore, India. Each satellite has two TCR stations with sufficient geographic distance between them so that if natural disasters or any unforeseen events were to make one inoperable, a back-up station will be available. The TCR stations for AfriStar are located in Bangalore, India and Port Louis, Mauritius, and the ones for AsiaStar in Melbourne, Australia and Port Louis, Mauritius.
In addition to the TCR stations, a communications system monitoring station (CSM) is associated with each satellite to monitor continuously the quality of the downlink services. The CSM facilities are located in Libreville, Gabon for AfriStar and Melbourne, Australia for AsiaStar. [http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1315054/000119312508071173/d10k.htm]
User segment
Users must purchase a receiver compatible with the L-Band frequency in order to access the system. The radio receiver processes, decodes and descrambles the signals to allow users to receive programming content. The company's broadcast frequency and satellites require a special receiver design incorporating either a small patch antenna measuring approximately 6 to 8 cm (2.4 to 3.2 inches) which folds neatly into the receiver unit or a similarly sized omni-directional antenna mounted on the car rooftop. Each receiver is individually addressable via a unique identifier that can be used to unlock specially coded audio or multimedia signals. This capability provides the flexibility to deliver free, subscription and/or premium services to consumers. The currently available receivers are manually coded for subscription authorization. A password, valid for varying periods of time depending upon the length of the subscription purchased and paid for, is provided to a subscriber and entered into the receiver. Currently passwords are re-validated on a quarterly basis. Upon subscription renewal, a new passcode is provided and similarly entered into the receiver. As new receiver products are introduced, there are plans to provide over-the-air activation of subscriptions. [http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1315054/000119312508071173/d10k.htm]
The radio sets, or receivers, which can pick up 1worldspace signals are manufactured by South Korea's AMI, India's BPL and China's Tongshi, among other corporations. [http://www.worldspace.com/howitworks/receivers/receiverfaq/index.html] Discontinued models were manufactured by JVC, Sanyo, Hitachi, and Panasonic. The radios consist of a satellite receiver plus an antenna that has to be placed in clear view of the relevant satellite, and properly orientated to the user's geographic azimuth and elevation. A new receiver manufactured by Delphi using open standard ETSI Satellite Digital Radio technology will be used in Europe if and when the company enters the market.

The following day, August 9, online investment news site The Motley Fool ran the first of several articles ("Terrorist In Your Portfolio?") critical of WorldSpace's corporate practices and out-of-this-world claims. In "A Stellar Way to Lose Money," after looking at the dismal performance after five years to establish an audience for AsiaStar broadcasting in India, the article concludes: "If you enjoy companies that pay management at a rate of 2.5 times your company's entire revenue, burn cash like crazy, but have a story that sounds good until you listen closely, this may be the stock for you. Knock yourself out. If you're looking for a good investment, look elsewhere."

Wick-Flix presents The Lost King
Come and join us for canapes by candlelight, and settle in with a drink to enjoy March's community cinema night. The Lost King is a charming and whimsical film with an incredible true story at its heart – the discovery of the body of King Richard III under a Midlands car park in 2012. Sally Hawkins stars as Philippa Langley, the amateur historian and sleuth who was a driving force behind the archaeological dig but who felt sidelined by many institutions both before and after the find. This is her funny and touching story, of a growing obsession with the long-dead king, and her insistence on finding his body and laying him properly to rest.
Wick-Flix is a very special community cinema with a unique atmosphere. Doors open at 7pm, so come along and join us for a drink beforehand (your first one is included with the ticket price). Tickets are £9 on the door, cash or card accepted. The showing will start at 7.45pm, and there will be an interval for more drinks at the bar and sweet & savoury snacks. We are delighted to serve Woodchester Valley Vineyard wines and Marshfield ice creams at our showings.
With our thanks to our Gold sponsor Murrays Estate Agent, and sponsors Woodchester Valley Vineyard and Goddard's Garage.
