The Roosevelts named many common areas in Pine Knoll Shores for individuals who worked directly or indirectly for them and played a role in the town's early development. The story of Garner Park is somewhat different. [i]
Photo taken in 2008.
Freshly dug canals filled with alligators, three newly laid roads (Juniper, Willow and Yaupon), the Atlantis Lodge on Highway 58, dense marsh, thick maritime forest, a few houses, and a plan—that is the core of Pine Knoll Shores not yet incorporated as a town in the late1960s. The main road is narrow and roughly paved. It starts at Atlantic Beach and ends in a dirt trail at Salter Path.
Eva and Willard Garner, living in Atlantic Beach since the 1950's, decide to build a home here. They select a lot on a new street, Oakleaf Drive, connecting the three original roads. Next door is land designated as common area in the Roosevelts' master plan. That common area, just east of Juniper Road, originally identified as North East Sound Park, opens onto a small canal on one side and to Bogue Sound on the other.
Eva and Willard's sons, Ches and Mike, say their father purchased a tractor with a bush hog and used it not only to mow his own property but also to clear other land. "Working with Don Brock and Colonel McNeil, he cleared common areas for parks, including the one next to our house," says Mike. Willard Garner continued to use the bush hog to help maintain the park next to his property.

Initially, Pine Knoll Association (PKA), the first homeowners' association, governed all common areas. In 1972, Pine Knoll Shores Corporation (PIKSCO) homeowners' association incorporated. By 1977, when the Roosevelt family was finally ready to transfer property rights, PIKSCO had already assumed responsibility for four of the parks. The deed transfer made ownership official. PIKSCO received Memorial Park (much later donated to the town for beach access), Morgan Hammer Park, McNeill Park and Garner Park. PKA received Ocean Park, Brock Basin, Hall Haven, and Davis Landing. Early on, the two homeowner associations established a reciprocal relationship so members and their guests could use all of the parks, the only limitation being leasing of boat slips.
Interestingly, the renaming of North East Sound Park occurred before the official deed transfer. December 14, 1976, PIKSCO Board meeting minutes read: "A motion was made, seconded and passed to name the sound Park in which the boat Basin is located 'Willard H. Garner Sound Park,' in honor of former Board Member Willard Garner, now deceased. The Garner property abuts the park. Mrs. Garner gave her approval."
The deed transfer in 1977 was acknowledged in a letter to Ted Hearth, a representative of the Roosevelt family from Stone & Webster Management Consultants:
In a letter dated March 31, 1977, Chairman Lt. Col. Robert P. O'Neal, USMC, Ret. wrote to Mr. T. F. Hearth:
"The PIKSCO Corporation Board takes pleasure in acknowledging the grant of park properties in this subdivision as conveyed in the DEED UPON SPECIAL LIMITATION from the Roosevelt Estate. [iii]
Garner Park, as it is most commonly called, became a popular recreational area. Over the years, like other common areas, it has undergone changes. Alligators are no longer commonly seen in the area. Pumping water from flooded areas after hurricanes has sometimes caused the Garner Park canal area to fill with silt, but most changes are positive. In1975, PIKSCO added a volleyball court still in use today. In 1999, a covered pavilion with picnic tables and a new pier with benches for sitting out on the sound further enhanced the park. Close by the pier are racks with multicolored kayaks attractively and conveniently stacked, and in 2015 new racks were installed.

Today, Garner Park is the perfect place for members of PIKSCO, PKA, and their guests to have a cookout, shoot some hoops, play volleyball, throw horseshoes, push a youngster on a swing, launch a kayak or just sit on the pier and enjoy a summer sunset.

The engine was a air cooled two cylinder boxer, four-stroke. A 94.0mm bore x 94.0mm stroke result in a displacement of just 980.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead valves (ohv).
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the dry, single plate, diaphragm spring.
It came with a 110/80 V18 front tire and a 140/80 V17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a 41mm Showa telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a BMW Motorrad Paralever, Showa adjustable mono-shock. The R100R Mystic was fitted with a 6.34 Gallon (24.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 434.31 pounds (197.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 58.82 inches (1494 mm) long.
1995 BMW R100R Classic
BMW DOES things differently "Germanly" and always has. It I puts panniers and shaft drive and heated grips on its "sports" bikes while everyone else is content with clip-ons. It uses an engine so old it was eligible to fight in the war, yet leads the way in fuel injection, ABS, emissions control, spares back-up, aftersales and other stuff that misses the headlines, but counts.
The R100R, though, sets new standards in BMW oddness. It's a retro bike, the factory's first official crack at tapping into the torrent of nostalgia exposed last year by Kawasaki's Zephyrs.
Kawasaki had presumably first taken a look at what it had — a stable of 16-valve liquid-cooled multis the technological envy of the world; chassis which joyfully extended the pleasure zone; an image of bright green, mean speed and hedonistic power—and worked back from there. The development clock was rewound a decade and out popped Zephyrs.
So what did BMW do? It found some rounded-off valve covers trendy some 40 years ago — good start — but then furnished their new old timer with Japanese Showa suspension (a first) and eight Brembo pistons biting on a pair of floating discs (a radical departure). There are also 40mm Bing carbs, an emissions afterburning circuit, Paralever and a socket into which sophisticated electronic diagnostic equipment can be plugged. Out popped the R100R; the most advanced boxer-powered BMW in its 69 year history. Result: future retro? Something strange at any rate.
Unofficially, all the horizontally opposed flat-twins (the Rs, aka boxers) are retro bikes anyway. Someone needed to say it out loud, that's all, which, with a liquid-cooled four-valve flat-twin due to launch next year, BMW can now do — cashing in on the stampede for modern classics in the process. There is, however, more to the R100R than a junked fairing and wire wheels. At 20 paces it's a random bitsa, at ten it's a R100GS trailie wearing street running gear and chrome. Not quite Supermotard but not full-blown retro either.
That monolith beneath the tank is 980cc of Paris-Dakar inspired GS motor and five-speed gearbox. It gets GS big-bore carbs (other street Rs have 32mm Bings) and a smidgen more torque than the R100RS/RT — 60 snoozey bhp at 6500rpm, 56 fat lb.ft at just 3750rpm. The double-loop steel frame is GS, too: same laid-back wheelbase (longer than street Rs), same trailie rake and trail but with 18 and 17 inch wheels, road suspension and narrow bars (because the suffix R is for "road").
The forks, so often too long and soft on BMWs, are not only Japanese but have recalculated spring and damping rates over much reduced travel 135mm compared to the R100RS' 175mm. The rear unit has a longer than normal stroke but is adjustable for rebound damping as well as preload. GS/K1 Paralever, the double-jointed swing-arm/drive shaft which effectively reduces torque-induced pitching, finds its way onto a pure-roads R for the first time. It has the lowest of all BMW seat heights and only the plain R80 weighs less fuelled up — and that hasn't a capacious 24 litre tank swiped from a GS and given a golden oldie amethyst paint job.
Retro-trailie-bitsa then, but with carefully selected bits which, assembled into an R100R, should stimulate a variety of tastes.
BMW describes it as a classic-look road version of the R100GS which will appeal to "the young beginner and somewhat older but young-at-heart-rider re-entering the motorcycle scene...and the growing group of female riders...". You know, everyone. Everyone who's never ridden a normal bike.
By 'normal' I now mean Japanese bikes in general. Before discovering the real R100R you have to cut through the usual hatful of BMW boxer idiosyncrasies — unbelievable oddness — which, over the early miles, so dominate the experience, riders returning from a quick spin are often left completely bemused. In my case re-familiarization took three days, during which time the R100R came close, damn close, to being dumped in the River Nene and good riddance.
As usual it started with the infamous hinged key. It doesn't do anything bar trap all the others, jam halfway and scratch the console. Getting the key in is a one minute operation and is not funny.
Then I remembered there's a spare. It's indistinguishable from the pannier key which always goes in first — it turns through the parking lights OK but fails at the last hurdle. Still, 30 seconds is half a minute saved and half a pint less sweat under the collar. And bang go two paragraphs, on a key.
On the road, finally, the R's performance is dictated not by normal parameters such as power and handling but by how well the rider copes with the catastrophic switchgear and bizarre controls. The l'£ twist throttle is heavy, the brake and clutch levers stubby and of Teutonically wide span. Reaching beneath the right console for the right winker while going for the lever re-tweaked a wrist muscle I didn't know existed before BMWs came into my life. Going for the left one sounded the very honkable horn but only occasionally lit any bulbs. At best the re-familiarization period is undignified, at worst it's dangerous: too much concentration is spent on riding trivia in the face of oncoming Volvos.
Then there's feet. The good news is they stay warm, tucked-in behind those protuberances known to retro-techno' freaks as cylinders. The bad is that the R100R sits you upright with feet foward and toes butting up against inlet tracts, carbs and other clutter. The right protuberance lies further back than the left which means the right foot does, too, in a unique and, in fairness, stupid asymmetric riding position.
Pouncey on-toes riding is one solution. The other is to hold your ground but that brings unwanted sporadic upshifts (usually into neutral) c/o of a gear lever that's two inches too tight to the peg. Effectively, the rear drum brake doesn't exist: its pedal's stashed away between carb and peg in a gap so small and inboard it's nearly impossible to use safely. There's the get-off, lean-the-bike, swing-to-earth sidestand which should have gone out with the Commando. The main requires a grab handle that isn't virtually flush with its sidepanel.
The above took three days either to conquer, come to terms with or endure. Some is wrong, more is simply Another Way, but all of it detracts from a basically decent bike.
As the days rolled by, as always happens with me and boxers, my hate mellowed into disinterest into respect. Miles on boxers are always well rewarded.
The engine and its drivetrain crave affection. Once its been given max' choke and seven or 16 protracted blasts on the starter (the battery is indefatigable) it slogs away in its frame, like all good twins should. It chuffs dry and tappety, pulling to the right in reaction to its shaft and flywheel but now fails to squat on the tarmac like those venerable pre-Paralever police BMs. Accelerating from tickover (which vanished after speed testing) brings a lumpy judder, then a brief vibration at 3000rpm before moving into its calmer waters. Before 4000rpm are showing on an excru-tiatingly slow tacho, torque has peaked and begun to drift slowly downwards as power climbs steadily towards 6500rpm.
The tachometer zones are clearly defined: 1500rpm to 3500rpm: rough and gutsy urban punch; 3500 to 4500: lusty and smooth and where the tacho gravitates to on sub-75mph twisties; 4500 to 6000: same eager acceleration but with charm disappearing in direct proportion to rising revs, now droning like a DC-10; 6000 to 6500: noisy, should have shortshifted ages ago but there's a Golf ahead that demands a seeing to and power's still flowing; 6500 to deep into the red: shouldn't be doing this, pegs and bars are beginning to tingle, it's getting hot, the oil-cooler seems to be obscured by the mudguard, it's undergeared, my arms, neck and stomach muscles are indeed enjoying a good work-out.
It'll hold 90mph (about 5500rpm in top) anytime. Or blast onwards, still pulling at 100, to big speeds if you enjoy playing parachutes. Geared up from the GS it's still theoretically undergeared but, because approximately no-one wants to be beaten-up by a constant 125mph headwind, a 116mph top speed at a valve-bouncing 8000 suffices.
Revs and redlines just aren't its bag. It's a lazy old carthorse that will break into a gallop only if it's bullied. Response is suitably languid it likes a squirt of throttle and second-third-fourth shortshifts, which save a second bite at the throttle and drop it back into the lust zone. The box is lazy too — slow and sometimes stiff with a long throw — while the cable clutch (as opposed to the clutch lever) is light but barely breaks drive. Try booting it up one on falling revs and you'll probably fail; get the revs wrong on a downchange and the back end hops about. Neutral is difficult for the same reason, third goes missing, yet...what a great gearbox. It's fun, erm, a real rider's box. Don't ask, it just is.
The effect that lot has on the rest of the bike is boxer legend. Everything from the seat, which cushions and supports like a trooper, to the fork's and rear shock's early movement is soft and squidgey. An attacked throttle followed by an upshift invites an exchange between front and rear suspension. As the throttle's backed off, the shock unloads onto the forks which do a little shimmy before sending another message rearwards. On slow turns, like roundabouts, a snatched handful can pull the bike up and offline on lefts, or make it fall into the curb on rights. Back off mid-corner with the bars held loosely and they'll try to shake themselves free of that dreadful switchgear. Blip the throttle on the way into second gear turns and the torque reaction nudges you sideways.
Unlike the keys and switchgear, this isn't annoying it's genuine character and holly enjoyable. But it does mean that steering accuracy is hardly its forte. Understeer, oversteer and, above 80mph, straining arms make general aiming the order of the day. It bowls along on its trailie geometry — stable (so long as the bars aren't held in a death grip), feeling just like big trailies do with much reduced leverage because of those narrow bars. Speed steering is obviously slow, real underwater biking, and takes enough effort to keep you warm in winter. The trick on sweepers is to brake early then to turn on a constant or gradually opening throttle. That way it stays neutral enough and vice free —- ask any copper the next time you're pulled.
The suspension, much improved on the last R100RT I rode, is built primarily for comfort at legal speed. It's a set up that cossets its rider without bottoming out, that maintains control without excelling. It flattens Farmer Palmer's bumpy B-roads (so long as you're pottering), has no limits on l00mph sweepers (so long as they've been recently steam-rollered) — it's as good as its road. It asks you to be gentle with it, to sweep rather than scratch.
That was no hardship either. Using the lump's low center of gravity to roll around those steep-walled and skinny Metzelers was like riding a Weeble that won't fall down. The steering lock is exceptionally useful (feet-up one lane U-turns), I could travel in comfort for 170 miles before reserve, and the whole semi-trailie, semi-retro idea began to gel. Furthermore, I got well into R100R style riding, what the police call "making good progress", and reached home as ruddy faced and refreshed as I did on the last RC30.1 stayed warm, if not dry, in snow via its two-heat grips — like a hot bath — while the engine looked after my legs. Plonking tiresome rucksacks in the boot and a happy pillion on the back (which slowed performance to that of a hot-hatch) actually damped the suspension and gave more feedback from the faultless but rather isolated Metzelers. I was in danger of becoming a convert.
The one flaw in this riding technique is that whatever you do on this bike requires big handfuls of everything (throttle, clutch, steering) but a gentle touch. Compared to a flyweight Jap' which responds to microscopic input, those levers and controls are brutish, and the brakes are no exception. The twin disc four-piston Brembos are very powerful by boxer standards (the R100GS has one twin-piston caliper) but their potential hides behind a lever that's easy to use with two fingers but really needs four. The span is too wide with much of the lever action not even getting pad to disc. When at last they bite there's more front-end dive than stopping and the wheel pulls in whatever direction it's pointing. The faster your speed, the better the brake/fork combination becomes (best on a BMW yet in fact) but coming to standstill is often a messy business. Dive, rebound, lurch, much paddling and bashing of shins on protuberances.
The rest of the good kit is very good. Mirrors distinguish Skoda from squad car at all revs; the headlight melts Shellgrip (but needs adjusting with even the most undernourished of passengers); the console is a bit placcy but ergonomically pure; the panniers only leak a tiny trickle; and the toolkit, bulb kit, puncture kit...everyone knows about that stuff. Tragically, though, road salt rubbished the alloys almost overnight. At 900 miles, a bike that hadn't even been launched to the public it was so new, looked a hard year old. And it wouldn't tickover anymore. Nor would it start in the mornings, not since Bruntingthorpe's test strip where an R80GS also went rough and dozens of japanese bikes in between didn't.
So there's a bundle of unanswered question marks there, but the fundamentals I'm sure of. Best boxer? Yes. Prefer it to a Kl? Yes. Good value? Yes, relatively speaking. Would I swap it for two packs of something more normal? Yes, but ask me the same question this time next decade when I'm older and wiser and BMW has had a rethink about its keys, switchgear, controls, side-stand and finish. When BMWs are a little less different.[1]

  font-size: 0.5em;
}

A: There is no <!DOCTYPE html> in your HTML page. so that you're not able to decrease Bullet size

A: You can use :before to create your own bullet and have it's own font-size
.career ul li {
  list-style: none;
}

.career ul li:before {
  content: '■';
  vertical-align: middle;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-top: -3px;
  font-size: 12px;
  margin-right: 4px;
}

Fiddle

A: To reduce the size of bullet list, we can use before pseudo element.
For the list we have to give
ul{
    list-style: none;
}

And then using pseudo element, we can create bullet as per our needed size and content
ul li:before {
    content: ".";
    position: absolute;
}

You can style the positions by giving top,bottom,left, right values.

Invigorating Sugar Scrub Cubes made with pure Spearmint Essential Oil. If you are a fan of making your own body products and you love using a good scrub at bath time then you will really like this Spearmint Sugar Scrub Cubes recipe. They are super easy to make; about 10 minutes to prepare, plus cool time. These Spearmint Sugar Scrub Cubes smell so good and make your skin feel wonderful too.
• To print the Spearmint Sugar Scrub Cubes instructions click here.
If you like the smell of spearmint, you will fall in love with these easy to make Spearmint Sugar Scrub Cubes. This is a very easy DIY beauty product you will want to make again and again!
• Pour a dusting of sugar across the bottom of your glass dish, approximately ¼" – ½" thick. This is what makes the pretty layer on the top of your scrub cubes when the project is finished.
• NOTE: This soap base sets up very quickly so you will need to have your additional ingredients prepared for the next steps or you may have to pop it back in the microwave another time or two in order to get the scrub well mixed.
• Cut your Glycerin Soap Base into at least 4 or 5 small pieces and place cut up Glycerin Soap Base in your measuring cup.
• Microwave in 20 second intervals until it becomes a liquid. The Glycerin Soap Base gets gooey really fast. Stir after every 20 second microwaving until the glycerin soap base is liquefied and no lumps are remaining.
• Stir in Jojoba Oil, Food Coloring and Pure Spearmint Essential Oil; stir well.
• Note: if your mixture gets lumpy, it won't spread well, so microwave it again.
• Now, fill each cube almost to the top.
• Fill each silicone mold cube almost to the top.
• Add spearmint leaves; place one spearmint leave into each silicone mold cube in the center and the scrub will form around it. This is a really nice touch, so I urge you not to skip this step, especially if these are gifts.
• Let the cubes set up for about 15-20 minutes; make certain they are cooled and set. To be sure your Spearmint Sugar Scrub Cubes have set, feel the centers on the bottom to be sure they are not hot still before popping them out.
• You're all done. Store in a glass jar.
Note: None of this is meant as medical advice. I am not a doctor, and do not play one on the internet. Please consult a physician if you have any questions about using essential oils or sugar scrubs so your doctor can better explain to you the benefits, possible side effects, and any warnings about essential oils and sugar scrubs.

J'Accuse Fairfax management Part II (with poke at News Corp)
May 23, 2014 Mark Skulley	Leave a comment
My previous post on May 7 posed a rhetorical question – "FAIRFAX MANAGEMENT – WHERE'S THE POSITIVE VISION?"
At the time I was nonplused – and then angry – over the news that Fairfax Media wanted to sack about 30 photographers in Sydney and Melbourne, outsourcing much lens-work to Getty Images.
It turns out a lot of Fairfax readers felt the same way, as shown by the support and admiration expressed on social media for the work of Fairfax snappers past and present.
In my case, I recalled joining the SMH in the late 1980s. The Herald was transformed under the editorship of Eric Beecher and then John Alexander – partly through making better use of photos. At the time every snapper I ran into wanted to work for the Herald.
Then I moved to Melbourne, still working for the SMH but based in the old Age building. The photography to emerge from that brown brick dump on Spencer Street was amazing … legendary snappers like Bruce Postle and John Lamb were on the job.
In the old days, I lived close to Victoria Park, the home ground of Collingwood. I'm not a Pies supporter but I often squeezed into the ground to watch the last quarter for free. I was at the game in 1993 when St Kilda's Nicky Winmar responded to racial taunts by pulling up his jumper and pointing at his skin.
The headline was Winmar: I'm black and proud of it". But the pic by Wayne Ludbey spoke loudest.
That tradition has continued with the work of great Fairfax photogs like Kate Geraghty and Jason South. However, this post isn't about the past, nostalgia for the golden age of newspapers.
What riles me about Fairfax management is that they're so reactive, so focused on cost-cutting, so captured by high-paid management consultants like Bain & Co. What about the future?
Take the recently leaked innovation report from the New York Times. It concluded that the NYT is not transforming fast enough in the digital era.
Never mind the old line about holding the front page, the NYT reckoned the end is nigh for the internet home page. "The home page has been our main tool for presenting our journalism to readers, and millions of them flock to it each month. But like all news home pages, its impact is waning. Fewer than half of our readers even see the home page. Instead of seeking us out, more readers are expecting us to find them on places like Facebook and through email and alerts."
But the NYT report stressed the need for creating compelling, immersive content. That includes digital images – whether stills or video. The battle to create and hold an online audience will not be helped by generic images and stock shots.
There's also the question of immediacy and getting out of the newsroom. Age photog Penny Stephens has noted that, with journalists becoming more deskbound, snappers are increasingly the eyes of a modern media outlet.
But there's more. Fairfax management had been assuring staff that the business had stabilised after years of cost cutting and job losses. Then came the plan to axe the snappers (and another 35 subs and 15 lifestyle journos).
Fairfax staff reacted by going on strike, taking the view that they had to try to draw a line in the sand. Because management had just shown that nothing was sacred. Note: I'm prepared to use two clichés in one paragraph to make a point.
To be fair, Fairfax chief executive, Greg Hywood, has to juggle messages for multiple audiences. The analysts and big shareholders like cost cutting because they can understand it. The longer-term aims of Fairfax shareholder, Gina Rinehart, are unclear but important – partly because it simply a sideline for her.
The decline of print and the need to capture digital audiences means that further changes is inevitable, as shown by the NYT innovation report.
One of the doyennes of the new era, Emily Bell, recently wrote a piece in the Columbia Journalism Review which stressed that, unless NYT journalists bought into innovation/adaption, it won't happen.
What is Fairfax management doing to get their journos to buy into innovation/adaption?
Fairfax can't survive at the cut-price end of the market – it needs to survive on quality and digital photography is part of that.
One of Hywood's aims is to the build new revenue streams through branded events. Ironically, one of Fairfax's biggest successes has come through its Clique program where staffers interact with many, many thousands of amateur shutterbugs.
Will the public stick with the Clique program if most of Fairfax's photogs get the bullet? Unlikely.
As always, News Corporation stands ready to push its own commercial interests, even though their mastheads face the same pressures and declines. One looks forward to The Australian's media section detailing the redundancies at News Corp's Aussie papers over, say, the last three years. How many of their snappers have already lost their jobs?
News Corp's global chief, Robert Thomson, hosted an industry bash in Sydney this week, where he argued that print media would be around for many years. "We are proud of the print provenance not because we wish to pay homage to the past, but because we believe print will have an absolutely crucial role in a fast-moving digital world."
Maybe so, but Thomson could hardly bag newspapers when his big boss, Rupert Murdoch, has printer's ink running through his veins. We'll see what happens when Murdoch senior loosens his management grip.
So, Dear Readers, the Fairfax photographers matter a great deal. As do the subs. Pass on this message to management.
On Twitter, look for #FairGoFairfax for details on Age photography slide nights.

Fairfax management – where's the positive vision ?
May 7, 2014 Mark Skulley	1 Comment
This post is a modest call to arms for Fairfax Media readers – tell management that they can't keep cutting job numbers
That message has to be sent now – loud-and-clear – or there won't be much left to save.
I write as a journo who had two stints at Fairfax for a total of about 25 years – mostly at the Fin Review but before that at the SMH.
I took voluntary redundancy from Fairfax late last year – one of the many – and am working as a freelancer.
The last few years at Fairfax felt like being an extra in a slasher movie – you get around one plot twist and more cuts were waiting in the wings.
But today's announcement shocked me. It's bad enough that Fairfax plans to axe another 35 sub editing and page layout jobs, plus 15 from the lifestyle sections.
What really got my goat was that Fairfax planned to cut about 30 photographic jobs and would outsource much of the work to Getty Images. It was quickly blasted by the journalists' union, the MEAA.
I immediately tweeted: "Fairfax management should be ashamed – their photogs are great. Time for positive steps, not just cuts "
My former Fin colleague, David Crowe, who is now at The Australian, tweeted: "I have worked with brilliant Fairfax snappers and subs over the years. Bitter news on redundancies."
The columnist Julia Baird tweeted: "Seems to be a broad, foolish, absurd trend amongst modern publishers to think good photography is dispensable. Or, even more risible, easy."
Editorial staff at The Age and SMH reacted by walking out on strike for 24-hours. And good luck to them.
What sort of message is Fairfax management trying to send? That striking visual images are not part of the future of journalism? That strong photographs taken with years of knowledge don't count ?
I hope Fairfax readers will stick with the company's publications. The remaining editorial staff are doing a sterling job – particularly when you consider that some 1900 jobs have already been cut.
Indeed, Fairfax reported an after-tax net profit of $193 million in February for the half year. Chief executive Greg Hywood said that result was a credit to staff resilience. Fairfax's share price has crept up a little.
Hywood has a tough job. In the recent past, he warned that Fairfax faced an "inflexion point" during a period of unprecedented chance in the media industry.
His job was made harder by one of his predecessors, Fred Hilmer, hanging around for so long and adding so little. Hilmer passed on ground floor opportunities to buy into internet advertising in crucial sectors like jobs, cars and real estate, while spending up on big printing presses in Sydney and Melbourne.
Those printing presses are now white elephants and editorial staff know the bell might soon be tolling for them. Today's 24-hour strike had a flavour of "enough is enough" about it. That sentiment will be lapped up by News Limited, which goes about its job cuts in a far sneakier way.
But good on the Fairfax editorial staff for taking a stand. Hywood and his management team keep talking about editorial quality, while continuing to cut away. Everybody knows what has happened to newsrooms around the world and Fairfax editorial staff have busted a gut trying to make things work.
At what point does cutting editorial resources – including photography and editing – turn from a downward spiral into a corkscrew helicopter smash?
So please, Dear Fairfax Readers … tell management that you value the work of editorial staff. The Fairfax board are a bunch of duffers when it comes to media matters, but the management might get the message.
But then again, Fairfax manager Allen Williams reacted to the strike with dark warnings about possible disciplinary action, even possible sackings if strikes continued. Instead of asking why staff had walked out.
The answer is that Fairfax editorial staff care about their jobs and they care about quality journalism.
Finally, here's a link to a strong piece in the Guardian Aus by snapper Mike Bowers on why photography matters.

Police apprehends France fan during clash on the Champs-Elysees after defeating Belgium in their World Cup semi-final match.
Here's a closer look at the final four heading into the semi-finals.
But the odds on Southgate receiving a knighthood are sure to shorten further if England reach the World Cup final.
"We had more chances today, we had more control of the match", Kompany said. "But he would get the ball and all of a sudden he would be at you - and past you". Add in Lukaku's frightening pace and an eye for goal and you have the complete centre forward.
Belgium's back four will need to be at its best to contain him.
Southgate praised his players for their diligence and commitment ahead of a game that he believes his players approach as well prepared as possible. There was a lot of energy needed for it, we do not have much time and we have to be ready for the game in three days.
With so little separating these two powerhouses, France's hopes of reaching the FIFA World Cup final may come down to a starring performance from the 27 year-old. Belgium seems to have peaked at the right time.
Instead of playing Sunday in Moscow for its first World Cup, Belgium will be back in St. Petersburg on Saturday, playing in the third-place match and wondering if its championship window has closed.
Davor Suker, Croatia's former star player, has claimed that the Three Lions of England are "lucky" to still be in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russian Federation.
Who could forget when these two squared off in Tottenham's 4-1 win over Liverpool. It was the first time since 2006 that France reached the final of the tournament. Our supporters, our country has had a long time of suffering in terms of football.
Henderson has endured his share of criticism throughout his career, but the Liverpool captain has answered his critics with a string of strong performances in Russian Federation.
Bilic, who is responsible for persuading Rakitic to play for Croatia rather than his adopted country of Switzerland, was in charge in a previous victory for Croatia over England at a sodden Wembley in a Euro 2008 qualifier bringing to an end Steve McLaren's reign -the latter exiting with the epithet "the wally with the brolly".
With Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard in fantastic form creating chances for themselves and Romelu Lukaku up front, Vincent Kompany fit again at the heart of the defense and Thibaut Courtois standing tall in goal, these Red Devils racked up more goals than any other team in the World Cup.
Croatia's strength clearly lies in the central-midfield department that includes Real's Luka Modric and Barca's Ivan Rakitic.
Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at the players' social media posts ahead of their departure. The victory will also help calm down an ever-sceptical English press.
Investors have always been expecting a victory by Lopez Obrador, who held double-digit leads in polls for months. We have a border of more than 3,000 kilometres, more than 12 million Mexicans live in the United States .

A Providence Testimonial: "Finding you was divine providence."
Angeline Vogel, Daughter of Providence of Downers Grove Skilled Care Resident, Roelina Koenes Sennese
Angeline Vogel has known about Providence for a while; her grandmother lived in one of Providence's communities years ago. But she didn't know about Providence Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center in Downers Grove. When it was time to make decisions for her mom Roelina Koenes Senesse's healthcare, she wanted only the best.
"As a nurse, I know a lot about healthcare, and I pick up on things," Angeline says. "I wanted her somewhere where they would be attentive to her. I was having trouble finding it, and I wasn't willing to settle when it comes to my mom's care."
Then she heard about Providence in Downers Grove, and she was immediately struck by the kindness of the staff. Once Roelina moved in, the kindness continued, and she discovered so many areas that made Providence special.
"The staff really knows her here," she says. "They know what she likes and doesn't like. They have activities she can be a part of, and they have special events. And Angeline and Roelina both appreciated all the little things that make the residents feel comfortable.
"They have a brand-new salon, and a hairdresser does my mom's hair every week," Angeline says. "I like the coffee station—that's really nice. And the grounds are beautiful!"
Recently, Angeline has added Providence Hospice to her care at Downers Grove. She can live at Providence and get the hospice care she needs without transitioning to a new environment. The chaplain came and visited Roelina, which gave her mom peace.
"I knew that I was losing her cognitively," Angeline says. "I said, 'Lord, it's all in your hands.'" Angeline has had comfort watching the hospice staff care for her mother in her last days.
"My mom worked two jobs for quite a bit of her life," Angeline said. "It wasn't an easy life. She made time for church—that was her joy. And now that she's done with that part of her life, she deserves to spend her last days in a place where people will take care of her. She should be comfortable. And she absolutely is here."
"I'll always be thankful I found you," Angeline says. "Finding you was divine providence. It really was."
