St. Teath Church Choir News
4 July 2012
Firstly, the Choir would like to say a big thank you too all those who supported their joint concert with the 'Mini Minstrels' during the Arts Festival 2012. The turn out was tremendous and we were able to add our contribution to the overall funds raised by the event. We are hoping to bring them back next year along with the 'Minstrel Singers' adult choir.
Our next outing will be at the 'Cream Tea' organised in aid of the W.I. / Church Funds at Yvonne Tew's on Sunday 22nd. July. Joining us to entertain will be soprano Cassie Bosdet, who has proved very popular in the village with her appearances at Blitz Night, the Arts Festival concert and the Village Show. This will be one of Cassie's last appearances in the village for a while as she is off to University at the end of the summer.
There will be no Christmas Show by the choir this year. Instead, we will be gathering after the Village Lights Ceremony in the rear of the White Hart ( undercover .. so Alan doesn't get electrocuted ) to lead the village in a good old Christmas sing-song.
Another date for your diary. It is our turn to host the Village Carol Service this year which falls on Sunday 16th. December at St. Tetha at 4pm. This year will be a traditional service of 9 Lessons and Carols, led by representatives of various Village Organisations.

Just a reminder to everyone that this year it is the turn of the Methodist Church to host the annual Village Carol Service ... so the Choir will be 'de-camping' to the Chapel on Sunday 18th. December at 4p.m. with Alan taking over the organ for the event.
This is the "VILLAGE" Carol Service, so it's YOUR opportunity to raise your voices along with the Choir with all your favourite Carols.
Alan Dawe - Choir Master
5 November 2011
Following their successful Harvest Concert in aid of Shelter Box, the Choir is delighted to have been asked to sing at this year's 'turning on' of the Christmas Lights on December 1st.
There will be more Christmas Music in the village to follow as Alan, the Choir Master, will be on hand to play Christmas Favourites at the 'Xmas Fayre' on Dec. 3rd. and also at the Village Lunch Dec. 7th.
This year's Village Carol Service will be held at the Methodist Chapel at 4pm on Sunday Dec. 18th. and the Choir will be on hand to lead the village in singing all the old favourites.
Next year's 'secular' concert will be in May, as part of the St. Teath Arts Festival. Rehearsals will start in January, so if you fancy lending your voice to the growing throng, contact a member of the choir, or pop along on a Thursday night to the Parish Church.
Till next time a very early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all the Choir !!
Alan Dawe - Choir Master
28 August 2011
The Choir were very pleased to try out part of their new programme at the Community Bus Cream Tea Event last month and following a very successful performance during the Flower Festival for the visit of the Bishop of Truro are now back into rehearsal for their next event, which will be a Harvest Festival Concert with Supper on Saturday 8th.

Churchyard Path Relaid
10 January 2011
The path across the churchyard from the lychgate has been relaid. Previously, grass tended to encroach on the gravel path, but this should be less of a problem with small granite sets forming the border of the path. It certainly looks a lot tidier.

Annual Christmas Concert
Wednesday 23 December at 7.30 pm
Seasonal Refreshments
Admission Free : Retiring collection for choir funds
2008 has proved to be another year of hard work and fun for us. As well as leading the hymn singing on Sunday mornings and performing a variety of anthems on special church occasions, we have sung at weddings, funerals and memorial services throughout the year.
In April, we sang in Truro Cathedral to aid our choirmaster and musical director, Dave Phippen, demonstrate the use of the computer to provide music in church. In July, we sang at the St Teath Flower Festival concert alongside the Wadebridge Male Voice Choir.
The crowning achievement of the year was supporting Johnny Cowling at his two Elvis Gospel concerts in Truro Cathedral, singing to over 850 people each night! We received much acclaim for our performance of five spirituals, and some found it hard to believe that we were "just a small church choir!"
As always, Christmas will be a very busy time for the choir, the highlight being our annual Christmas Concert, which will be on Saturday 20th December at 7.30 in St Teath Church, featuring seasonal music and audience participation. Entry is free and festive refreshments will be available after the concert. We hope that as many people as possible will join us to celebrate the joys of Christmas.
This year we have been pleased to welcome five new members, Megan, Gina, Denise, Dave and John, and we look forward to going from strength to strength next year.

The Church Hall
The hall was built in the early 1920s, following a plan drawn up by Oswald Swete dated 28 August 1922. The plans are held at the County Records Office, listed as document CC/FBP/85. Swete also designed the clock tower/war memorial at the centre of the village.
The plans showed a hall the same size as the present one, but with two quite ornate towers on the roof and tall chimneys on the NW side of the building for two open fireplaces on the inside. The chimneys have now been removed and the fireplaces blocked up. The building was extensively renovated in 2004, especially in the kitchen area and a fixed raised stage was removed. A stage area is now provided for by heavy movable tables. Modern stage lighting was also installed at this time.

MANITOU BEACH — The Village of Manitou Beach is about to reach 100 years since its incorporation on Aug. 11, 1919.
Many of the commemorating events put on throughout this year aim to recognize the saltwater lake around which a village has developed for decades, and people have utilized for centuries. The history of Little Manitou Lake is one that deserves special recognition along with the centennial of its town.
The first people to settle Little Manitou Lake and the surrounding area were the Sioux, Blackfoot and Gros Vent First Nation tribes. These tribes were pushed out and replaced by the Cree and Assiniboine sometime in the 18th century, said Bill Strongarm, resolution health support worker with the Touchwood Agency Tribal Council.
It was the Cree who gave Little Manitou Lake its name, said Strongarm. Manitou means God or supreme being. The story to the reason for its name is well known to those in the area, and is recounted by Dan Kennedy of the Assiniboine First Nation. At the turn of the 19th century, several Cree travelled for Saskatchewan River to escape the plague of smallpox beset on them at the time. Three members of one group came down with a fever, and they were left where they had camped on the north side of the lake.
"Crazed by fever, one of the men managed to crawl to the shore of the lake to appease the burning third and cool his fever," wrote Kennedy. "He lay there until the next morning. To his surprise, he found that the fever had left them," as it would also for his two companions.
All three would join their band, and in sharing their story, first recount the healing properties of Little Manitou Lake.
The lake's effects are no myth. It's chemical properties of 1,405.6 grains sodium chloride and 50.9 grains sodium sulphate per gallon make it more buoyant than fresh water. Other unique chemical properties in the water have been thought to cure rheumatism, arthritis, sciatic, constipation, and a variety of skin problems.
The water's exceptionality has attracted people from across the country for years. The Plains First Nations make an annual pilgrimage with their sick each spring, said Strongarm, while a First Nations group from Ontario, called the Ontario Sisters, make the trip once a year as well, said Manitou Beach centennial committee member Sarah McKen.
The committee of 10 community members have organized over 14 events to celebrate Manitou Beach's centennial throughout the year. Of those, four have incorporated First Nations' historical presence at Manitou Lake. They included a traditional pipe ceremony following New Year's Day, an annual Elders' Conferences in April, a Wisdom Weekend in May for elementary students to learn the lake's First Nations history, and a water ceremony planned for Aug. 17 to "bring spirituality to the lake that's been missing all these years," said Strongarm.
Each of the events was co-ordinated with Saskatchewan's Touchwood Agency Tribal Council, who represent four bands across the province.
Recognizing that we were celebrating various cultures as apart of our centennial theme, we wanted to make sure that First Nations were an integral part of it," said centennial committee member Garry Jay.
McKen said that their work done with the Touchwood Agency in facilitating cultural events surrounding Little Manitou Lake has been awesome.
"To celebrate the history of Manitou Beach, and Little Manitou Lake, and not acknowledge how important it has been to First Nations would be irrational," she said. "It was obvious that it was necessary to acknowledge how important it is to First Nations people."
She said that more work should be done together to fully realise the history of Little Manitou Lake as a place that "really does connect with people around the world."
At Watrous in Central Saskatchewan
On Canada's prairie and plain
The Creator placed a touch of sea
Amid golden fields of grain
—a poem by Rosemary Duckett, found in a 1984 history book on Manitou Beach.

Hill Country Dining Room Restaurant Review: Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa is a short distance from downtown Austin but feels worlds away due to its sweep of golf courses and dramatically hilly vistas. Its expansive, upscale Hill Country Dining Room, which is open to club members and the public, draws families, business folks and dinner guests with its polished service and tranquil view of the lush Fazio Foothills golf course and resort pool. USDA Prime Midwestern steaks are the primary dinner features, including a bone-in Niman Ranch rib-eye. Steaks (as well as lamb and pork chops) can be topped with your choice of four adornments, our favorites being a crust of blue cheese, or Oscar style. Looking beyond red meat, the Maine lobster potpie is worth the trip all on its own. We always choose the truffle mac 'n' cheese and sautéed foragers mushrooms to share as sides. Though we're tempted not to share the chocolate Kahlúa dream cake, even though it's meant for two.

One of the interesting facts about life is that only a few anticipate to encounter any danger in real life and other that's left doesn't bother to even think about it. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared for it? What if there's a zombie apocalypse, how'd survive that? Ok, that was way too exaggerating, but still, what if you do get caught in such situation, do you have the answer to every possible scenarios? Do you know there are some random life facts that could save your life?
Some of them could be funny, however, these funny interesting facts might save you from any distress situation out there.
Facts that could save your life
- How to escape riptide
If you feel being dragged out to sea, your natural instincts would tell you to battle against the tide swim towards the shore, however, this isn't the best idea to save yourself from a riptide. You are likely to get exhausted very quickly.
The best method would be to swim parallel to the shore; this way you're not going against the tide directly. Most riptides aren't that extensive- swimming parallel to it might lead you to the shore. This could be a random one, however, these are one of the random life facts that could save your life.
- What to do in a fire?
I mean it's obvious you'd call for a fire brigade upon such encounter. However, do you know it's vital if you stay close to the ground, as you are most likely to be harmed by inhaling smoke than by flames themselves. So, if you are on the floor on your hands and knees crawling to escape you are far less likely to inhale smoke.
- Where people's weak spots are
This is one of the most crucial facts that could save your life. If you're being chased or attacked and need to hit someone, go for their private parts, eyes or ears; hitting them in these spots would really hurt your attacker and you'd get a chance to escape from the scene.
- Make a knife from a cigarette
In some emergencies you may need a knife, however, might not have one to hand. Do you know you could make a knife out of a cigarette? Light he filter and let it burn for a second, then wet your fingers and pinch the cigarettes at the end to make it flat. Now the fiberglass filter would be sharp, like really sharp!
Somethings have unexpected uses for everyday items.
Random life facts
- Escape a crocodile
This would be one of the random life facts that might save your life one day. The best way to escape a crocodile or an alligator would be to run in a zigzag manner. These reptiles have a hard time running this way.
- Jellyfish stings
Portuguese stings of war stings are specifically disgusting and they love to hang around in groups; sometimes 1,000 or more in the Atlantic, pacific and Indian Ocean. They have got massive tentacles which why it is important for you to know what to do after you have been stung by a jellyfish. The best way is to remove the remaining tentacle and wash the affected area with seawater. Consult a doctor though, if that doesn't help. This doesn't happen often though, however, it is better to stay alert with the help of knowing these random facts that could save your life.
- The Heimlich manoeuvre
This is probably more common occurrence and likely to happen anytime. If you find yourself choking one of these facts could save your life; if you're choking in public and anticipating someone would come around and do the Heimlich manoeuvre, however, no one shows up and you're your own saviour?
Well, good news is that you could give yourself the Heimlich manoeuvre, just stay calm and find a chair or a surface that sits near your stomach; push yourself against it firmly several times on a couple of inches above your naval.
- Don't eat snow when you're dehydrated
Many people believe that eating snow when you're stranded in a freezing temperature is an apt option. That's actually going to make the situation much worse. Eating snow would only drop your body temperature to the lowest, hence, you would waste most of your vital energy trying to heat up your body.
- Use trouser as a float
This trick is used by everyone from boy scouts to marines. If you find yourself struggling to keep afloat in deep water make your own life jacket out of your pants. Simply tie the trousers' legs together then swing them over your head quickly capturing as much air as possible and then put them back into the water. Placing it around your neck would make it an effective float. and the must-read article: Why Failure is Good for Your Success?
- How to hold your keys correctly
This is one of the random life facts. Many people don't know how to make a proper use of their keys. Do you know, keys too, have its own attributes in times of need. If you are being followed one of the best weapons you likely to have on you is your keys.
Hold them firmly than that to enable you to apply proper pressure. It is best to hold the key holder or the end of the key firmly in your hand and just leave the pointy part sticking out. Practice on a pillow as if you're attacking someone when being attacked and you'll see what I was talking about.

Bucerias, Bahia de Banderas, Nayarit, Mexico
By Madeline Milne
Originally Published In Mexi-Go! Magazine
Located about twenty minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias is the second largest town (after Vallarta) on Bahia de Banderas. It runs along the northern bend of the Bay between La Cruz Huanxactle and Nuevo Vallarta.
Founded in the 1930's, Bucerias is home to some 17,000 residents. Most noticeable is the large number of long-term foreign residents from Canada & the US. A quick study of licence plates will show you people from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and points east have all made the move to Bucerias. Some days every person you meet on the street will be from Canada. A mention of Flin Flon, Red Deer or Kamloops doesn't raise eyebrows but rather has you asking if they know your cousin's wife's brother, Bill.
The town's name is derived from Buceo which means 'diving' as the original inhabitants were oyster fishermen who dove for their catch. You can still watch the divers each morning along the beach with their inner tube floaties and white buckets in hand. Fresh oysters are served daily at many of the local seafood stands. Payo Mariscos in the plaza is a favourite with locals and comes highly recommended, though watch out for the chili sauce – it's hotter than you can imagine.
Bucerias is a typical sleepy Mexican village with the traditional plaza and church and a thriving Mexican community that is very comfortable with the foreigners who have moved in. For eight kilometers along the clean sandy beach you will find almost no one to interrupt your relaxation. There are few vendors and those that are around seem to be less 'pushy' than the ones in Puerto Vallarta or Cabo San Lucas. There is only one all-inclusive resort along the beach at the far south end of town with the rest of the beachfront real estate mostly made up of large homes and about a half-dozen high-rise condominium buildings. The Golden-zone, as it is called, has excellent upscale dining, shopping and gorgeous vacation homes.
Most Tuesday evenings in the plaza will find you amid a roaring group of hockey enthusiasts. A lack of ice is no deterrent as men and women stick handle their way around the "rink". Sticks are supplied by the local Pizza-Sports Bar, Yo-Yo Mo's. After the settling of scores everyone retires to the bar for cold cervesas and the best pizza in town.
Thursday evenings are slightly more high-brow with the famous art walk, where art lovers are invited to visit the galleries along the main strip as they serve cocktails and snacks. Be sure to stop at Casabor for their famous Tequila Punch and then visit Sandrina's both for wonderful food and excellent shopping! Bonus: Sandrina's is owned by a Victoria, BC native.
Each fall through to March, the Humpback whales migrate south to Banderas Bay and it's common to witness spectacular displays of breaching whales from your beach chair. There are plenty of charter boats in the area that can take you on whale watching tours, most with the guarantee that you will see whales or your money back – clearly indicative that you'll cross paths with whales during the peak months.
Sea turtles come ashore June through December to lay eggs. There are many conservation efforts in place to protect the turtles which were almost hunted to extinction, it is illegal in Mexico to kill sea turtles. Many in the former turtle harvesting communities turned to conservation and eco-tourism in the face of these relatively new laws. Just south of Bucerias, on the beaches of Nuevo Vallarta, there is a turtle nursery that has near daily turtle releases that are open to the public for a small donation. If you spot a turtle coming ashore or find a nest, it is important to mark off the area and alert the authorities. The local police who cruise the beach on ATV's can be of assistance, as can most locals.
There are many other activities around Bucerias to enjoy, such as championship golf, horseback riding, birdwatching, ATV tours, snorkeling, diving, sailing, surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, wind surfing, kite surfing, beachcombing etc. There are a plethora of philanthropic opportunities as well, with the local orphanage, animal rescue, sea turtle conservation and more. Investours (www.investours.org/), a local tour company, provides a unique experience, with street-tours of Bucerias that introduce you to the Mexican community and use a portion of your admission fee to support local vendors through no-interest loans.
Bucerias is a laid-back and casual town with excellent seafood, clean, safe beaches and amenities that cater to a down-to-earth market of budget conscious Canadians who appreciate the open spaces and quiet evenings so removed from the all-inclusive resorts of Nuevo Vallarta or the night clubs of Puerto Vallarta. It feels like a small town in Canada, just with better weather, colder beer and less time commitments.

Utah Taxonomy
Chamberlin and Jones (1929), who knew this species only as a fossil form, used for it the common name the Bonneville snail. Clarke (1991) called it the banded Bonneville stagnicola.
No subspecies are recognized in this species.
Status in Utah
This species is known to be extant at only 3 very closely associated sites (Clarke 1991). Clarke (1991) wrote: "A relict species, previously correctly reported only from Pleistocene Lake Bonneville deposits and until recently thought to be extinct ...."
The three sites inhabited by this species are "located in an area about 3 miles long close to Utah Highway 83, between mileposts 14 and 17 (measured from Corinne, Box Elder Co.)" (Clarke 1991), in northeastern Box Elder County, Utah.
Clarke (1991) estimated a combined total population of more than 3 million individuals; however, Clarke appears to be inclined to liberal estimation of gastropod populations (see, for example, account of Oreohelix eurekensis for discussion of another of Clarke's population estimates). Even if Clarke's estimate is not exaggerated, since the species survives at only 3 sites, its overall population must still be considered small relative to other similar organisms.
Continued searches for other populations in northwestern Utah may be of value.
Habitats Utilized in Utah
Clarke (1991) wrote: "The pools which contain S. bonnevillensis are all spring-fed, occupy areas of between 1/4 and 1 acre, have diverse substrates (mud, gravel, and/or rocks) and are well-vegetated. When first searched in 1990 (on June 15) water quality measurements were: pH, 7.2-8.2; temperature, 16-18 degrees C; conductivity, 4,500-10,000 micromhos [/cm]; and oxygen values varied from low (2.8 ppm in the mouth of the underwater spring at [one station]) to supersaturated (14.8 among algae at [another station]), but were intermediate elsewhere. The whole region has extensive lacustrine deposits. At [one station] S. bonnevillensis also occurred in a narrow outlet ditch."

Today is Wednesday. Today, I saw how the shelters in those flooded areas of Texas are now becoming flooded themselves. Where do all those poor displaced people go?
Today I read a thread involving a follower of Joel Osteen and another tweeter who was trying to remain self-controlled. The one tweeter believed Osteen should have opened his large church building to shelter those who were homeless from the flooding. The follower on the other hand totally disagreed and said the building was only for worship. He was asked what would Jesus do and his answer dismayed and saddened me.
The follower said that Jesus would tell those poor displaced people to go find another shelter. I would say this person is definitely a follower of Joel rather than Jesus.
Jesus has always been more concerned with people. Things are just things like church buildings are just buildings. My advice to the follower would be to spend more time listening to Jesus' sermons. The danger of preaching on wealth is that's what the focus will be. Jesus only owned the clothes on his back and His sandals.
When buildings, monuments, money and any other stuff are valued more than people, it's time to re-evaluate your thinking. It's time to have a meeting with Jesus should you call yourself a christian.
Love is reserved for people not for things.
My son prays for the folks in Texas every phone call.
peace my friends

desAhogo (Relief)
In an empty urban space very close to the center of the city of Granada, a residential fabric with equipment is proposed.
A space within a CITY is never empty, it may be that it is not ordered or that it does not have an associated or concrete function.
This space has served as a point of reference to his neighborhood for having characteristics that differentiated it from the rest.
Now a project appears that densifies that space, and that makes it stop belonging, because it is unoccupied, to the clandestine public domain, almost as a refuge for those who do not find a place within Granada. Enclosed by a wall that contains all that, which has protected that location like a skin.
Maintaining that reference through the wall has been one of the priorities of the project, inserting a public space that through the section is related to private habitats, generate routes that connect the market space with the gardens in height and that bring back " la vega ", the crops and the Arab garden to a city that still maintains that essence.

In the age of the Anthropocene, the South faces vast and complex ecological challenges. This region stands to bear the brunt and lose the most from the effects of climate change. It is experiencing massive economic shifts as the nation shifts away from fossil fuels. The South is the fastest urbanizing area of the U.S., but it is also home to some of the most economically distressed communities — a trend that is expected to continue as the climate changes. Southerners deserve a publication that covers the nuances of their environment, history, and communities without being condescending or stereotypical, without parachuting in from large metropolitan areas. The rest of the world deserves to know about the creative ways communities here are adapting to these changes and how those in economic and political power are responding to either move the region forward or maintain the status quo.
Southerly is an independent non-profit media organization that covers the intersection of ecology, justice, and culture in the American South. Through in-depth journalism, we explore and analyze the relationship between Southern communities and their natural environments. By reporting on these issues in a well-rounded and accurate way, Southerly informs readers — whether they're along the Atlantic coast, in the hollers of Appalachia, on Tennessee farmland, in the Mississippi Delta, or outside of the South — so that they can make informed decisions about the region's natural resources and communities.
Read our editorial independence policy.
Lyndsey Gilpin is the founder and editor-in-chief of Southerly. Born and raised in Kentucky but now based in Durham, North Carolina, she is a reporter and editor who has covered climate change, energy, environmental justice all over the U.S. Her work has appeared in Harper's, Vice, The Daily Beast, CityLab, Undark, High Country News, FiveThirtyEight, The Washington Post, Hakai, The Atlantic, Grist, Outside, and InsideClimate News. She earned her master's degree from Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. Read more here.

United States President Donald Trump said he would like to establish a more "reciprocal relationship" with Japan, ahead of his meeting with the country's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Taking to Twitter, Trump said he would discuss matters related to military and trade with Abe.
"Going to New York. Will be with Prime Minister Abe of Japan tonight, talking Military and Trade. We have done much to help Japan, would like to see more of a reciprocal relationship. It will all work out!" he tweeted.
Earlier, Trump had congratulated "good friend" Abe after the latter's re-election as the president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), for the third term on Thursday.
"Congratulations to my good friend Prime Minister @AbeShinzo on his HUGE election victory in Japan. I'm looking forward to many more years of working together. See you in New York next week!" the US President had tweeted.
Abe won 553 out of 807 votes, beating his only contender, former defence minister Shigeru Ishiba to pave the way to become Japan's premier for three more years. He has been serving as the prime minister of the country for nearly six years and with this victory, he may become Japan's longest-serving premier.

The Organic Wool Shop
Tamarisk Farm
Undyed organic wool knitting yarn - Soft Brown Shetland 4 ply ball
Organic Soft Brown Shetland wool knitting yarn - 4 ply ball - undyed
About Shetland wool
One of the joys of having Shetland sheep on the farm is that they are pretty, delicate looking sheep with a wide variation in colour. Their wool is the finest fibre we have on the farm so it is more suitable for knitting for babies and people with sensitive skins than our other wools.
We have five different colours of Shetland wool, all from the natural fleece colours of our Shetlands, sorted and carded to get a good range, from the rich brown of the moorit sheep through the delicate fawn and silver grey to the clean white, now an uncommon colour for Shetland sheep.
Undyed organic wool knitting yarn - Soft Brown Shetland 4 ply ball
This soft brown is made from a mixture of moorit, fawn and white fleeces. It is an attractive colour alone and without any embellishment, or a slightly lacy edge or a simple border of white fairisle can add interest.
Shetland 4 ply is our yarn that is best suited for light lacy fabrics. Traditional Shetland lace shawls were made of a single ply called fingering and were so fine that they could be passed through a wedding ring!
This 4ply is our finest wool but is not as thin, so your shawl may not thread through your ring. Nonetheless, it gives some of the same feeling of delicacy in the fabric and is very warm for its weight.
We have also found its softness very comfortable for socks, but as it is pure wool you will find it worth remembering (or if you are under about 50 years old, learning) how to darn. One solution is to reinforce the heels with our harder wearing Hebridean wool. These are creative activities for which you can make use of the range of colours!
