Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Study
A Study For the Nashville Region
The regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Study is intended to help establish a strategic vision for improving walking and bicycling opportunities in the greater Nashville region. That strategic vision fed into the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO's) overall regional transportation plan and provide the basis by which future funding priorities of the MPO are established for bicycle and pedestrian accommodations within the Davidson, Rutherford, Sumner, Wilson, and Williamson counties, plus the cities of Spring Hill and Springfield.
Working with local governments, businesses, non-profit organizations, and the general public, the Nashville Area MPO conducted the Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Study as a mechanism to foster a better understanding of bicycle and pedestrian needs within the region. The Study provides guidance for policies, programs, and investments intended to maximize opportunities for greater walking and bicycling activity now and in the future within the greater Nashville region.
Study Objectives
- Provide a comprehensive inventory of existing and currently proposed on and off -road bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the greater Nashville region.
- Increase the region's understanding of how improving walking and bicycling connectivity between residential areas, employment centers, schools, retail centers, recreational centers, and other attractions increases individual mobility, enhances transit options, and promotes active living.
- Serve as a framework for identifying and selecting bicycle/pedestrian projects for the Regional Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program.
- Provide guidance for engineering, education, enforcement, encouragement, and evaluation activities to help improve the safety of walking and bicycling.
Study Highlights
- Regional inventory of all bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including greenways, sidewalks and bikeways.
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel Demand Model that is based on 8 trip types (5 bicycling and 3 walking) on a parcel level that analyses the proximity of a parcel to land uses such as schools, parks, transit stops, work places and commercial areas. The model has the potential to be dynamic when future land uses are input into the model and the resulting potential bicycle and pedestrian trips are run.
- Project evaluation methodology that incorporates seven measureable project criteria:
- Bicycle Level of Service and Pedestrian Level of Service (A-F) on over 3,300 miles of regional roadway.
- A Travel Demand Model that accounts for areas with highest amount of latent demand for bicycle and pedestrian travel.
- An analysis of congested corridors in the region.
- An analysis of High Health Impact areas with populations likely to have highest rates of health disparity and less access to personal transportation.
- Crash rate and fatality data for bicycle and pedestrian crashes.
- Proposed facilities that are included in a locally adopted bicycle, pedestrian or greenway plan.
- Proposed facilities that connect with existing or planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
- Unannounced count of bicyclists and pedestrians in the region at 23 locations in five counties, counted approximately 4,000 bicyclists and pedestrians on one weekday. Counts were conducted again in September of 2011 at the same 23 locations.
- A funding toolbox with over thirty-three sources of local, state, Federal, private and non-profit funding sources for bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs.
- A peer review of six U.S. metropolitan regions each with fifty areas of analysis including bicycle and pedestrian planning, policies, projects, funding, prioritization, programs and procedures.
- A complete set of design guidelines for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects including cutting-edge design trends as well as traditional infrastructure and signage treatments.
- Suggested policies and programs local and regional governments can adopt and implement to encourage and enforce bicycle and pedestrian travel.
- The Study received the 2010 Engineering Excellence Grand Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies - Tennessee Chapter and the 2010 Best Project Award from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Planning Council.

One can only live on Rita's and Eggs for so long. So I have been finding recipes (and modifying as needed) while on hiatus, but I have not actually "planned" anything. I have 2 weeks off to breathe.
And plan.
So my menu plan is simple for this week (mostly because I am going to NY and the BF will fend for himself!)
The recipes I will be using are
- Pasta Verde
- I will be using Kale for my greens its in the fridge
- No pine nuts too expensive and I really dislike them
- Lemon Walnut Chicken
- I will be using white onion and onion powder instead of shallots. its in the pantry!
- I will be using brown rice (with diced tomatoes) because again, its in the pantry!
- Red Lentil Soup, entree salad, and rest of brown rice
- Please do not post a picture of your cat above your delicious recipe. Cats + food = gross
- I get the bourbon salmon from the fish market, ready made!
- I do not take shortcuts with caramelizing my onions. Some think that caramelizing just means to cook all the way down to a brown shimmer. Not so much. True caramelizing of onions is a process.
- Lies recipes tell.
- My go-to. I use European butter, dark molasses and thick butcher's bacon.
Thanks for stopping by!
The pasta verde was delicious. I did use fresh bunched spinach because it was on sale. I used plump imperfectly perfect farmer's tomatoes and did not de-seed them. They were juicy but not seedy. Before I added the tomatoes I felt that it was going to be cooking dry- so I splashed some vegetable stock and then added the tomatoes, then added the spinach and then placed the lid to steam it up.
The lemon walnut chicken was okay. I felt it was lacking something. Particularly something green. I am still not sure what I would have added but I know it was missing something. I am going to eat the leftovers and try to figure out what was missing.

When Amber Brummer was last in California, where she grew up, she bought a bunch of basil for 25 cents. That same amount would cost her about five dollars in Summit County, where she now lives. Brummer is part of the Leadership Class at Colorado Mountain College that's conducting a food assessment survey that aims to help reduce the price of basil, along with fruits and vegetables, in the mountains.
"In the winter there is a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables because we can't grow it here," says Brummer, a program coordinator at the Keystone Center, a non-profit that aims to solve environmental, energy and public health problems. "How do we reduce the cost of that or how do we get it fresh so it's not coming from Nicaragua?"
CMC's Leadership Class is a nine-month program with monthly classes that teach participants about different aspects of Summit County community leadership, such as transportation, water usage and local government. The second half of this program breaks participants into groups and asks them to create a project that benefits the community in some way.
"We wanted to do something with community gardens or sustainable food in our community," says Brummer of her group, which consists of five people. "We all had different ideas in the beginning, but we came to the food assessment survey when we sought out a few stakeholders."
The stakeholders in this case were the Summit Prevention Alliance, a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles in Summit County and the High Country Conservation Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting practical solutions to waste reduction and resource conservation.
"We went to them and said, 'We have this time and we want to do something that benefits the community. What do you need help with?'" says Brummer. "They said, 'We really need a food assessment survey done because we need this information to get grants to fund community gardens and their construction.'"
So Brummer's group created a 28 question survey for Summit County residents to help gather information about implementing a sustainable food system.
"We're trying to find out demographics and food purchasing habits," says Brummer. "If your goal is just the cheapest food and your priority is not whether or not it's organic, and if the majority of the community thinks that way, then we'll know where to put the funds for community gardens. We want to know if individuals would be willing to pay a little extra for fresh fruits and vegetables, and how much that would be."
Summit County has two community gardens and the wait list for plots is over a hundred people, says Brummer. So the main obstacle for sustainable, local food seems not to be residents' desire, but rather a growing season of about four months and a lack of resources. Grants for community greenhouses could solve both these problems.
To entice people to fill out the survey the group is offering prizes such as an A-Basin season pass, dinner for two at Vinney's Restaurant in Frisco, two solar fans and a home energy audit. Brummer says around 250 people have filled out the survey in the week and a half the survey has been launched. It will be open until the end of April; the goal is to get 1,000 of Summit County's 10,000 residents to fill out the survey.

The group is promoting the survey through Facebook, e-mail, word of mouth and community events. Brummer says they are trying to find the groups that have been under-represented in the survey so far. For example, 72 percent of the participants have been women, but Summit County's population is only 40 percent women. But getting people to fill out the survey is only part of the battle.
"Our over-riding goal is to make fresh fruits and vegetables sustainable and accessible to Summit County residents," says Brummer. "That's the end goal and this is just a small piece of that. We need this information to submit for grants to get the funding to get these opportunities here in Summit County. It's really exciting to be working on it. We see that in the community -- that people are excited about how we can get a sustainable food system here."

Five Points to Think About When Preparation for Your Residence Layout
Have you been about to add an extension to the existing home or create a home from the beginning? Whether you create a home from the beginning or add an extension towards the existing home, you will need a few home designs for your project. That is certainly where a qualified and experienced draftsman or building designer comes in handy. There are actually hundreds of architects, draftsmen or building designers in the marketplace. But every one of these professionals usually are not the identical. Your research is vital when choosing a qualified draftsman for that project. A private referral from someone you trust is the greatest means of choosing a qualified building designer in the community.
Preparation for your house needs an extra extensive method and a great deal of choice making to do compare to when getting one. Finding the excellent structure lot is currently an obstacle, making exactly … Read More

I've always had trouble coming up with good names, and in this regard names for colony worlds aren't any different from names for people. Over the past few years I've built a list with about 700-ish names for colonies. However, these were intended for a Terro-centric culture, and many make little sense in Contact Light.
There was no Washington on Enderra, for example. That's straight forward. But you'll notice I have already been using names from Earth mythology, for example.
I think these are fair game; they resonate with us because we're so used to them. Everybody connects Arthur to Avalon, for example. We can assume that these are translations, or an artifact of the strange way the multiverse works.
That said, I may revisit some of the names later, when I've got more of Colonial Space nailed down, so to speak.

Now the other day when I was talking about MDM a bright spark pointed out that I hated data services but wasn't MDM just about data services?
Its a good challenge, mainly because that is the problem about how many people view MDM. MDM is, when done well is about the M and the M not the D, i.e. its more about Mastery and Management than it is simply about Data. What does that mean?
Well lets take everybody's favourite MDM example "Customer" a Data driven approach would give us a Service of
Service Customer
- Capability: Create
- Capability: Update
- Capability: Delete
- Capability: Read
Now this is the "D" approach to MDM and SOA, also known as the Dunce's approach, its about Data Services and viewing the world as a set of data objects.
The smart approach is to view MDM as an information challenge and delivering information services so instead of the data centric approach we get
Service Customer
- Capability: Establish Prospect
- Capability: Establish Customer
- Capability: Modify
- Capability: Change Status
- Capability: Find
- Capability: Archive Customer
- Capability: Validate Customer
- Capability: Merge Customers
- Capability: Split Customer
Here we start exposing the customer service and make clear two things
- We are talking about the customer in context
- We reserve the right to say "no" to a request
So this is where customer genuinely can be used from a single service across the enterprise. This service takes on the responsibility to authorise the customer, or at least ensure that authorisation is done, it sets the quality standards and governance standards and doesn't allow people to do what ever they want with it. It includes the MDM processes elements around customer management and provides a standardised way of managing a customer through its lifecycle.
This is fundamentally the difference between a business SOA driven approach which concentrates on the services in their business context and with their business governance and a technical driven approach which looks to expose technical elements as via a technical wrapper.

So, I sat up in the bunch sprint for 3rd in the road race. I won't go into details about it but I did get to punch my handlebars like I was in the tour de France and throw my hand in the air in disgust. That meant we ended up with a 3 way tie for 1st overall. The race official actually came up and shook my hand later, "That was very classy, I saw you getting bumped out in there." That acknowledgement meant more to me than my position in the overall.
I got to watch my dominant cat 4 teammate Mike Hildebrant win the RR and Crit back to back! Jess rolled in for 4th in the RR leaving Mike and Jess 1st and 5th overall! (cat 4 racing may not mean alot to some of you but, it is super impressive to see your novice teammates stepping up and racing like badasses. Plus I think the cat 4 average MPH was faster than the pathetic 23 MPH we did for 60 miles.)
I need some teammates to work with. I drove a break for the last 10 miles and just did not have the gas to follow Rand Shoaf and Aaron Coker off the front for the win. I was actually bossing around other teams riders trying to get them to do some work for me! (it worked!)
Big thanks to Schwalbe tyres, I got my new "light" race tyres the day before the race and I loved them. I brought a few spares and we actually ended up needing them when Michelle got a flat before the TT.
It was my birthday yesterday, 29 years. Which reminds me, I think Mark King is like 16 years my senior. If he beats me at any cross races, I'll buy him candy.
Did I mention I attacked at mile 2 in the RR? Andrew Reed bridged up to me and was aggressive the whole race. So good to see him on the bike.
Anyone catch those new SRAM "ergo" style shifters?
Off to the shop.

Rainbow Chimes is an Early Childhood Education and Care Center in Huntington, New York. Our kindergarten classes use the highly effective High Scope curriculum, which has been proven to boost a child's life success on several levels. Children who have gone through High Scope education complete more years of schooling spend fewer years in Special Education programs, have fewer children out of wedlock, have fewer teen pregnancies, experience fewer arrests, spend less time in jail, and have higher incomes over their lifetimes.
One defining characteristic of the High Scope curriculum is the conflict resolution practices that are used and taught to the children. Here are some of the basic methods used in the conflict resolution method.
- Remain Calm Speak calmly and use a gentle touch, grown-ups remain neutral.
- Acknowledge Children's Feelings. The grown-up holds any contested object and validates the children's feelings.
- Investigate the Situation Ask the children what the problem is without asking why so the children can not assign blame.
- Restate the Problem The grown-up uses non-judgemental language to restate the situation calmly.
- Ask for Solutions The grown-up asks the children how the conflict might be resolved. If the kids can't think of a solution the grown up offers ideas and seeks agreement from the children.
- Follow Up Support The grown-up praises the children's attempts at solving the problem and then stays close to help them act on their chosen solution. Some steps may need to be repeated at younger ages.
This method of conflict resolution teaches children that their feelings are valid as well as to validate the feelings of others. It also teaches them the language of nonviolent conflict resolution. This basic skill can be useful their whole lives.

Many people don't want to think about 'becoming old' but are looking forward to retiring from their jobs and enjoying the finer things in life full time. To maximise the ability to enjoy these finer things there is a degree of planning and organising to ensure that when you get to your golden years you can really make the most of them.
Balancing your likely short, medium and long term capital and income requirements and then structuring affairs to ensure your income and lifestyle expectations can be met, as tax efficiently as possible is a very important part of the planning.
From April of this year new pension rules came into place giving you two options when you retire, either, take 25% of your pension savings immediately tax free but then be taxed for every withdrawal from that point on or instead keep all your money invested and take 25% tax-free every time you make a withdrawal with the remaining 75% taxable on that withdrawal. According to 'This is Money's' latest report, savers who don't take the lump sum and leave their money invested could be £64k better off and pay less tax.
Managing decisions such as, how best to take your pension, how to deal with any outstanding debt and ensuring your Will is valid and up to date can be difficult to deal with alone. Which is why our team of retirement planning specialists are here to help you to consider the options available and guide you to discover what best meets your needs.
Whether you're just at the stage of exploring your options and planning what you could do with your golden years or whether it's about to become a reality so action is needed, seeking advice early will often lend to a better result. If you'd like to find out more please get in touch.

MORE from Harcourt - Children's Books to cheer for
Book Review
Myrna Katz Frommer
Harvey Frommer
Lovely to look at, superb, enjoyable to the
touch and all in all a delight to give, own, browse through, have on
that special child's burgeoning bookshelf - - and all from Harcourt
who knows how to do it right.
"Mary Poppins in the Kitchen" is another classic
for all ages by P.L. Travers ($14.00, 80 pages) with special
drawings by Mary Shepard. It is billed as a cookery book with a
story and that it is. Just wonderful.
"Mary Poppins from A to Z" is another classic for
all ages by P.L. Travers ($14.00) with special drawings by Mary
Shepard who illustrated Mary Poppins books for more than half a
century and who passed away in 2000. As the title indicates, this is
a book that goes through the alphabet – and it does so charmingly,
intelligenty and with an educated eye.
For those looking for a "pop-up" book there is
"Charlie Chick" ($10.95) by Nick Denchfield and Ant Parker for ages
0 to 3. Enormous pop ups pop off the pages of this winning big book
about a special chick.
"Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug" by Mark Newgarden and Megan
Montague Cash ($12.95) beautifully illustrated, a kind of unreal or
surreal doggie story without words but with a lot of adventure.
Mom, dad, grandpa, grandma - put this and the others here on your
gift giving list - it's a winner.

For me it was a pretty uneventful week. Nothing too exciting happened. My daycare children were fairly well behaved and in good moods all week and exercise was good. I avoided weights until mid week and cut back on poundage since I believe (hope) I have a pulled muscle in my stomach/abdominal area. For now I am going with this conclusion and hoping for the best.
On the home front, meals were good. I even had some time to prepare some freezer meals for fast "on the go" lunches for my husband during the week days when I cop out on making dinner the night before. Typically, he takes left overs for his lunch but sometimes life happens and there are no leftovers. And previously everything I had prepared for freezer meals all had artificial sweetener of some sort in it so I needed to remake his favorites with new ingredients. No Boil Lasagna is one that feeds us all for dinner, leaves me enough for lunch for all the kiddos the next day, plus leaves me two to three servings to freeze. How is that for awesome?!
OK so here is what I did for exercise this week:
Saturday: gym workout…30 minutes elliptical and stretching
Sunday: rest
Monday: 3 mile trail walk
Tuesday: 3 mile trail walk
Wednesday: morning weight routine in our home gym and a evening 3 mile trail walk
Thursday: 3 mile trail walk once again
Friday: rest
As you can see walking a nearby rail trail was mainly the name of the game this week. Rail trails offer mainly a straight, flat trail but being close to home and convenient is nice after a long day. It's been hot, humid, and I have been happy. A friend of mine simply calls it "Karen hot" and I can completely understand why. I just love it….
And on that note I will leave you with something that some people will never see. I rarely see sunsets since I am often in bed and sound asleep before its even dark outside but some individuals never see sunrise like I do every single morning. You have no idea what you are all missing.
What a great way to start a day!

Summer has arrived with a vengeance here in Virginia. Hot, steamy humid mornings followed by violent thunderstorms by mid-afternoon. We're all keeping cool with lots of cool water, shade and chilled watermelon though. Egg production is down a bit, which is normal as everyone conserves their energy.
The highlight of our week was discovering the first frog to hatch in our tadpole puddle I've been keeping safe from the ducks clutches...and some weird mushrooms we found. Yup, it's an exciting life we lead out here in the country! Come take a peek!

This week, the Friends of Fish Creek course set out for Mallard Point. Located at the far east end of Fish Creek Provincial Park, it abuts the largest island on the Bow River in Calgary, Poplar Island, which is off-limits to the public, but is viewable from the pathways on both sides of the Bow River. We started at the Mallard Point parking lot, walked north along the river, crossed over the bridge, and to the south-east, parallel to Poplar Island. In total, we discovered 36 species in our three hours along the river, all of which gave us incredible looks at them and were amazing to see, as always, and remember, if you want to see a bigger version of the photos in the blog, just click for a full-sized version!
As we all collected at the parking lot, the consistent racket of a group of 12 Greater Yellowlegs just over the ridge in the flood channel of the Bow River that separates Poplar Island from the rest of Fish Creek Park, and these four decided to ham it up for the photographers of the group, posing close in and making sure everyone got a satisfying look at them.
We headed up to the river to see what birds we could see on the Bow, or flying over it, but the star of the show was this small Northern Pike, who seemed just as interested in staring at us as we were in staring at it.
After crossing the bridge and exploring a bit of the east side of the river, we set our eyes on the small pond that originates from a storm water outflow from the Douglasdale community, and found a fairly large group of American Wigeon joined by a solo female Northern Shoveler.
While I'm not an expert on gulls, I enjoyed the plethora of plumages visible on the gravel bar just south of the second storm-water outflow into the Bow. We saw adult versions of the three most common species of white-headed gulls out there, those being Ring-billed Gulls, California Gulls, and Herring Gulls. I believe we saw juvenile versions of all three of those gulls as well, though I could always be mistaken!
We continued on south-east, and saw one of the harbingers of the change of seasons; a breeding plumaged male Downy Woodpecker. It seems all spring and summer that these guys simply went into hiding, but the last few weeks they've reappeared like magic!
One of the highlights of my day at least was seeing this beautiful Orange-crowned Warbler, who, along with a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Gray Catbird, and about ten Yellow-rumped Warblers were found near the southern-most extent of our walk in the brush, chipping and whistling away while we strained our eyes to find just who was calling in the bushes.
Onward we trekked, and as we neared the furthest point of our walk, we were greeted by another gorgeous sight of a group of Mallard ducks, one of which being a male just coming back into his breeding plumage and showing off the broad violet speculum on his wing while stretching his legs, and in amongst the Mallards was another female Northern Shoveler.
It seemed a fitting end to the walk as we began to head back that many of our other friends from the summer would see us off. There were no small number of Meadowhawk dragonfly species flitting about as the sun warmed them up, and a handful of damselflies as well, but most noticeable was that their numbers were significantly less than last week, and far less than earlier in the summer. I do hope they hold on a while longer, as I always enjoy seeing and hearing them flit about, but it's just a matter of time before the temperatures drop and the last of them dies out for another year.
As we neared the bridge, and our walk was nearly at an end, we were gifted with just one more species as this Osprey flew overhead. I sure hope he didn't see our Northern Pike from earlier in the day!
That's all for now. Next week, Carburn Park!

'Glass Cliff' Phenomenon Affects Asian-American CEOs
An analysis published recently in the Journal of Applied Psychology finds that US companies are nearly two-and-a-half times more likely to appoint an Asian-American CEO when they are in decline than when they are succeeding. This suggests that Asian-Americans are often put in "glass cliff" situations, appointed to precarious leadership roles that others don't want to risk taking—and stereotypes of Asian-Americans may be driving this phenomenon. Jane C. Hu discusses the study's findings at Quartz:
In their analysis, the researchers found that Asian-American leaders tapped to lead declining companies also faced a glass cliff, experiencing shorter tenures as leaders than white leaders in the same position. Even when Asian Americans were asked to lead companies that were not in decline, they were in charge for about half as long as white CEOs (3.25 years versus six years).
The researchers also ran a few online experiments to dig deeper into people's perceptions of Asian-American leaders. In one study, participants read a fake article, either about a struggling company or a successful one. They were then asked to rate how important they thought certain behaviors were in a leader, like working weekends or forgoing a bonus. People who read the article about a struggling company were more likely to think that "Alex Wong" would make a better CEO than "Anthony Smith"; compared to the white candidate, the Asian-American leader seemed like a better match for participants' idea of a selfless leader. In a different study, participants rated the CEO "Alex Wong" as more likely to be self-sacrificing, and in a third study, participants chose an Asian-American executive to lead a struggling company.
Asian-Americans occupy a unique place in the conversation about diversity and inclusion in the US: Unlike black or Hispanic Americans, they are not underrepresented in professional fields, but Asians still frequently report experiencing discrimination on the job and are markedly less likely than their white peers to be promoted into leadership positions. A landmark study on racial inequality in the US tech sector last year found that white men and women were twice as likely as Asians to become executives and held almost three times as many executive jobs, with Asian-American women particularly underrepresented in these roles.

The purpose of donnellys.com is to present the
about the Donnellys' life and times. And, like all history
includes ghostly rumours, legends and tales. But they are only a miniscule part of the overall Donnelly story. The Donnellys are
not a circus side-show, and it's important to keep their dignity intact. Therefore, please view this ghost page not as historical fact,
but rather, as it was intended when first created ... a fun page. Thanks!
Donnelly Webmaster
Then as the shades of night draw nigh,
While parents quail and children cry,
The ghosts of the Donnellys will ride by,
Out on the Roman Line.
-- from an old song
Welcome to the Donnelly Ghost Page
Is the Donnelly Homestead haunted? One would surely think so considering the horrendous crime that unfolded there over a century ago? Skeptics are quick to point out that these supposed 'hauntings' are just the result of someone's over-active imagination. Maybe so, but there are those who have actually seen ghosts at the famous landmark, and they will tell you without hesitation . . . the Donnelly Homestead is indeed. . . haunted!
We thought it would be fun to create a page that takes a look at some of the rumours, legends, and tales surrounding the Donnelly Homestead. It must stressed, however, that this web page is created just for fun. It is not meant to offend the Donnellys, the vigilantes, and their descendants in any way. It is simply to add a little humour to the web site, and to answer the many e-mail letters this site has received over the past few years concerning Donnelly hauntings.
Everyone loves a good ghost story, and there are many that surround the Donnelly Homestead, the Roman Line, and the cemetery where the family is buried. Who hasn't heard the legends of the Donnelly ghosts riding the Roman Line at midnight, and the tale of horses going berserk on the homestead, or refusing to pass the old Donnelly farm? Are these stories really true, or are they just figments of imagination? You decide for yourself.
Turn out the lights, if you dare . . . and cozy up to the computer for a few eerie tales that are guaranteed to send a cold chill down your spine. Enjoy!
Birds don't sing and men don't smile,
Out on the Roman Line.
Their faces grim and so they'll be,
Until the end of time.
For the midnight hour brings alarm,
And horses won't pass the Donnelly farm,
Stay off that road or you'll come to harm,
Out on the Roman Line.
Old Song
Reprinted from: The Black Donnellys
By: Thomas P. Kelley
- No Horsing Around The Roman Line
- Rumour has it that the Roman Line is haunted, and that horses won't venture down it on the night of February 3 & 4th, the anniversary of the Donnelly massacre. If they do, death will follow. And, that's apparently what happened to three horses who did . . . they died soon after their nocturnal excursion down the cursed road.
- Another rumour suggests that some horses refuse to pass the old Donnelly property . . . period . . . at any time of the year. It's said that their riders have had to walk the skittish beasts past the homestead before continuing down the Roman Line.
And then, there's weird tales of headless horses seen galloping throughout Biddulph Township, and of course, the more popular legend of horses going berserk and running around mad as if suddenly possessed. Robert and Noreen Norton, who bought the Donnelly Homestead in 1974, and moved in with their three children, witnessed this strange phenomenon first hand.
"She Would Just Go Nuts"
- The Nortons were boarding a friend's mare, something they did regularly, and one day, they found the animal running around in circles. Nostrils flared, the mare's eyes were filled with terror as if something was chasing her, yet nothing pursued her. This happened on a number of occasions, and each incident was the same . . . the horse was being chased by nothing, or at least, nothing the Nortons could see.
- "We only had her a month, and we had to get her out of here," Robert Norton recalled, during a Free Press interview. "She would go nuts at night."
"Something" Strange Going On
- When asked if he thought the Homestead was haunted, Norton was reluctant to reply at first, but then he admitted to his belief that "there is definitely some extra-curricular activity" happening on the property. He was hesitant to use words like 'ghost' or 'spirit' to describe the presence that had made itself known in his house, but he did refer to it as "something" . . . something that terrorizes horses, slams kitchen cupboard doors, and mysteriously takes things.
- Norton, who prided himself as a rational man, and not one to jump to quick conclusions, could offer no logical explanation regarding some of the strange things that happened in his home. One such incident was the mystery of the green plaid shirt. The new hunting shirt was hanging in a closet, and one day, it vanished only to reappear a year and a half later in the same closet. What's even stranger . . . the shirt was "washed, pressed and folded neatly".
Haunted Donnelly Barn
The Haunted Donnelly Barn
Robert and Linda Salts, the current owners of the Donnelly Homestead, have also witnessed strange, unexplained incidents in and around their home. They moved to the homestead in 1988, and hardly had their bags unpacked when they discovered that they weren't alone!
Robert Salts, who is sensitive to the paranormal, felt the presence of spirits almost the first day they arrived at the homestead. As the family unpacked their vehicle, and removed some of their possessions to the barn, Salts recalls having "an eerie sensation of being watched". Oddly enough, since that first encounter with the unknown spirits that reside in the barn, (built in 1877), visitors taking the tour have expressed feeling the same sensation.
"This feeling of being observed can occur anytime and anywhere on the property," Salts said in the book, 'Haunted Ontario' by: Terry Boyle. "It can suddenly come over you and you find yourself looking around expecting to see a pair of eyes staring in your direction."
But feeling like they're being watched is not the only sensation tourists have experienced. Some have reported physical contact with the spirit world . . . being touched on the shoulder by something, only to turn around and find no one standing there.
Things That Go Bump In The Barn
There was a time when Salts permitted people to spend a night in the Donnelly barn; brave souls who wished to observe the ghostly manifestations up close. One courageous couple who slept in the barn must have appeared like ghosts themselves the next day, for they reported to Salts their horrifying ordeal of hearing footsteps as someone approached them in the straw. Even more terrifying, the man said that he had "felt pressure on his chest".
In another incident, two students while touring the barn, also felt pressure applied to their chests, and one of the teenagers even heard screams within the barn. But, the screams were inside her head; something that they call: clairaudience. . . the power to hear sounds said to exist beyond the reach of ordinary experience such as the voices of the dead.
The Haunted Donnelly House
The house that the Salts family live in is not the original Donnelly home. That structure burned down the night of the Donnelly massacre -- February 4, 1880. The next year, 1881, the remaining members of the family, William, Patrick and Robert Donnelly, got together and constructed the middle part of the house that can be seen on the Donnelly Photo Gallery page. It is in this original section of the home that many eerie and unexplained incidents have taken place, although the rest of the house has had its fair share of ghostly occurrences.
Phantom Footsteps and Voices in the Night
Most of us would tremble in our slippers if we heard phantom footsteps in our houses, but not Robert Salts. He's used to them. Many times, he has been awakened in the night by the sounds of footsteps on the stairs, but knowing that no one's there, he just turns over and goes back to sleep. This has happened on a number of occasions, and one time, the owner of those footsteps even called his name . . . three times! Salts described the voice as "soft but with a firm, masculine tone". As in all other cases, he didn't bother searching for the source of the voice as that would have only proven futile.
Another spooky incident took place while Salts was taking a shower one afternoon. He saw a shadow of someone on the shower curtain who had entered the bathroom and then exited. Thinking it was either his wife, or son, Charles, he asked them about it, but neither of them had gone into the bathroom. Later, he and Charles tried to recreate what Salts had seen, but they couldn't, and to this day, the Salts family have no idea who the mysterious shadow belonged to.
Donnelly Ghosts Make An Appearance
During the Salts' first year of living on the Homestead, the Donnellys made an appearance, or at least, experts believe the apparitions are those of the Donnelly family. Charles Salts spotted the ghostly figures one Saturday morning while playing in his room. In fright, he ran to the kitchen to tell his parents what he had seen. Four people had appeared in his room . . . "a man and a woman dressed in plain black clothes, and two children wearing white outfits".
A&E Psychic Also See Ghost
Charles is not the only one who has seen the ghosts. When A&E was filming the special that showcased the Donnelly Homestead, they apparently brought in a psychic who roamed the house in search of any preternatural activities. What she found was a female presence whom she believed to be that of Jennie Donnelly, James and Johannah's only daughter.
Other psychics have visited the homestead with other film crews, and they, too, have detected entities that appear to be very similar to the apparitions that Charles Salts saw in his room. The psychics described the two spirits as "stern looking" individuals. One was a tall, bewhiskered man dressed in handmade clothing, and the other was a woman who wore her hair up in a bun. She was clothed in a simple dress and Victorian high laced shoes. It is speculated that they are the spirits of James and Johannah Donnelly who still wander the homestead.
A Haunting Conclusion
Perhaps the Donnellys are caught in limbo, unable to make their final journey home. Or, maybe it is simply their decision to remain behind and keep a watchful eye on their beloved homestead, and those who pay it a visit. Whatever the reason, the Donnellys continue to haunt us -- the eye witnesses who have actually encountered them in one form or another, be it through sound, touch, or sight, and those who have only encountered the Donnellys through books and long faded photographs -- we are all haunted by the Donnellys and their tragic tale that will live on forever.

Ghostly Tales:
Somebody's Watching:
I recently had the honour of befriending the owners of the Donnelly residence, J Robert Salts and his wife, and was overwhelmed by the psychic energy on the homestead. I have, through natural occurrences and a lot of hard work, tuned an impeccable psychic ability, actually, more of a clairvoyance, but an ability to see and know things that others don't.
While on the Donnelly property, I had the overwhelming sense of being watched. Though no apparitions were visible, there was definitely an energy I couldn't account for. My mind (or Third Eye) was focusing on a grove of trees just to the rear of the drive shed, about half way between the house and the barn. I felt that there was a male, about 25 or 30 watching my fiancé, my mother, Rob and myself with idle curiosity, while he knew he should have been "doing" something else. When I mentioned this to the others, no one was surprised. When I described what I was feeling, Rob informed me that William has a strong attachment to the property and his presence is frequently felt.
When passed the ceremonial alter cloth, my mother's hands shook uncontrollably, causing her to nearly drop the precious piece of Johannah's history, though I declined handling the fabric, I felt the energy that was tied to it. It was the final link between the Donnelly mother and her daughter, and the emotion attached is still felt.
I also felt an energy disturbance when we arrived on the property. The best way I can think of to describe the sensation, is to say that it was like having children playing quietly on the floor and when a favourite relative or friend arrives, they jump up, run to the door, make a lot of noise and then when company settles in, the children settle down on the floor to continue what they were doing. It was truly a unique experience, and I look forward to visiting Rob and his family again soon.

Mysterious Blue Light on Roman Line:
It has been quite a few years since l talked about this! lt was back in about 1976, four of us went to Lucan on the anniversary of the Donnelly massacre! We parked in the school parking lot across from the cemetery! We arrived there at about 11:45 p.m, the first thing we noticed was what looked like blue lightning bolts shooting up and down the Roman line! lt then circled our car twice and was riding about 1 ft. off the ground. lt was literally terrifying, because although we were skeptics, we knew this was definitely not normal.
My friend and myself got out of the car and continued to watch it flow up and down the road! lt never came near us, so we decided to go into the cemetery! The snowbanks were really high so we had to climb up them! Once in the cemetery we started looking for the Donnelly tombstone, that is when we started to see what looked like a figure in black standing about 50 ft. ahead of us. ln seconds it was gone, vanished!
We ran and, l mean ran, got to our car and were out of there. The blue light l mentioned followed us to the stop sign at the corner and then was gone. The four of us never much talked about it because it was really against everything we believed. When l got home that night l was still so afraid l asked to sleep with my father because it was so terrifying for me. l have never had any other experiences like this again and have never returned to Lucan.

Mystery of St. Patrick's Church Bell:
About 1985 or 1986, I took a friend to see the Donnelly's grave, as I had grown up in the area, and wanted to share the story with him. We arrived at the churchyard at about 5:00 p.m. on a summer day. There was no one around, and no cars in the parking lot. We walked from our car to the gate to the graveyard, and as we entered the gate, the church bell began to ring. It rang very slowly bong......bong......bong, and as we made our way towards the grave, it began ringing faster and faster, so that by the time we were in front of the grave, it was ringing very quickly.
As we were a little unnerved by this, we didn't linger, and as we made our way back to the car, the ringing slowed down, and when we walked out of the gate, it stopped altogether. Now, I had always maintained that it was a stunt by someone wanting to keep the legend alive, but it always bothered me that there were no cars in the parking lot.

A Ghostly Photo:
The following is a fascinating letter that was received from a Donnelly enthusiast who
visited the Donnelly tombstone on the anniversary of the massacre. One of the photos she took that night shows a mysterious cloud. Could it be a DONNELLY ghost?
I have been a Donnelly enthusiast for years now. I have on two occasions made trips to the graveyard during dark hours with a camera to take pictures and see if anything weird should show up in them. The first time none of the photos from that evening turned out. I then came back on the anniversary night, this year, with a new advanced camera and film. It was uneventful and very cold. Accompanied by my friend, we quickly entered, took a few pictures with each of our cameras and left. The night was as clear as a bell, very cold and quite light out.
When I got the pictures developed all the pictures turned out clear. Clear enough to see the chips off the tombstone and pennies people had left for their wishes. There was nothing unusual in any of the pictures with the exception of one. There is no explanation for the mysterious cloud that clearly appears in the picture.
I assure you this picture is authentic, and I could provide the others to verify the quality of the camera and film. I have already eliminated the obvious questionable causes for this "cloud" including the possibility of car exhaust, breath of someone in the cold, and/or a fire or smoke from any source. I have sent the picture looking for your opinion. I decided at the last minute to take one more picture of the cemetery as I left, and this is the result. Can this be explained? Could this be an entity or energy that I was unaware of at the time? What do you think?

Photo #1
Bobbie-Jo writes that the Donnelly tombstone is located in the far left of the
picture, near the back. This photo was a last minute shot taken just before
leaving St. Patrick's Cemetery.
Photo #2 (...using a different camera...)
This photo was taken the same night as photo #1. Bobbie-Jo's friend
took this photo using a different camera, and points out that the film
used in this camera was the best film speed available.
Is it a DONNELLY ghost? What do you think?
Another Ghostly Photo:
Here's another ghostly photo taken in February 2003.
"I was down on the Roman Line, just a week ago, paying my respects," says Meagan, who took this photo. "I set my digital camera on a grave, and took a pic of me and two friends with the grave. There is almost an IDENTICAL fog in the pic, same shape, everything.... as in the photos posted on your ghost page. Well..., you be th judge."

Response to Ghost Photos
I am sorry to debunk those pictures so easily, because they are very spooky. However, "Ghostly" shadows like these often show up in night-time outdoor shots in the winter. It's the photographer's breath, lit for an instant by the flash. Or depending on the weather and prevailing wind, it could even be someone else's frozen breath, left behind (it can linger unseen for several minutes on still nights, until the flash illuminates it). Of course, the frozen mist of human breath isn't usually visible in the dark. It only shows up when the flash goes off, hence it tends to surprise people when they get their photos back and find them full of "ghosts".
Having done a lot of winter camping, I have rolls of film filled with winter breath-ghosts. In fact, I eventually learned to hold my breath while taking pictures, in order to "excorcise" them from my snapshots.

Why are coins left on the Donnelly tombstone?
Many people who visit the Donnelly gravesite have noticed coins left behind on the headstone.
Apparently, legend has it that if you leave a coin on the Donnelly tombstone and make a wish,
the Donnellys will grant that wish. So, the next time you visit the Donnelly gravesite, don't forget
to place a coin on the tombstone, and make a wish. It just might come true!
Update: We received an e-mail from someone who read a book about myths and superstitions,
and they said... another reason for leaving coins on a tombstone is... if a ghost is haunting you,
or if you owed someone money before they died, the ghost will collect it, if you place
the money on the tombstone before midnight.
Tourists leave coins on the Donnelly tombstone hoping the Donnellys will grant their wishes.

We work closely with a number of local lenders. Our team would be happy to match you with a loan officer and mortgage company that best suits your needs.
Why go local instead of using a big, national bank for your mortgage?
Local lenders know Orlando. Like us, they know the home values, they know the neighborhoods, and they know the people who live here. You can go to their office and sit down with them face to face. In our experience, local lenders will provide excellent service and do everything they can to get each loan closed. Also, local lenders typically offer a variety of solutions for each client.
The bottom line is we want your home purchase to be a successful transaction with the least amount of worry. We feel local lenders share this goal and will work diligently to get you to the closing table.
