South African Road Cycle Racing in the 20th CenturyAuthor Geoff Waters (2011)
The advent of competitive cycling in South Africa coincided with the era of British colonisation of the region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But competitive cycling in South Africa was initially confined to dedicated oval cycle tracks and lively track racing scenes developed amongst the colonists in the then burgeoning cities of Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth. The first South African Olympic team which participated in the 1908 London Olympic Games included four cyclists all of whom raced in the track events held at White City.
However, road racing in both its time trial and 'massed start' forms has a distinguished place in the history of 20th century South African cycle sport.
Early 20th century competitive road cycling in South Africa
Despite the early emphasis on track cycling, the first South African cyclist in the 20th century to win international honours did so in a road event. This was an Olympic gold medal at the 1912 Olympics held in Stockholm, Sweden.
The 1912 Olympics are unique in that it was the first and only occasion on which no track cycling events were included in the Games programme. The Swedish Olympic organising committee had wanted to eliminate cycling from the 1912 Games entirely. However, following protests by other nations the sole cycling event included in that Olympiad was the
road race which took the form of a massive 196 mile (315.385 Km.) individual time trial, its length rivalling that of stages in early Tours de France.
The event was contested on a poorly surfaced course around an enormous lake by an international amateur field of 123 competitors (including 26 from Britain) and started at 2 a.m. with riders departing at 2 minute intervals. It was won decisively by the sole South African entry, Rudolph 'Okey' Lewis (see image left), in a time of 10h 42m 39s Lewis was the second rider to be dispatched and he soon caught and passed the first starter. For the remainder of the event therefore he was the lone leader on the road. Only 94 of the starters, drawn from 16 different nations, eventually finished the race. A giant of a man, Lewis was still racing in Europe at the outbreak of World War I. He joined up but was subsequently wounded and taken prisoner. Lewis returned to South Africa after the war and died in 1933 at the age of 45 in his native Transvaal.
The rider beaten into second place by Lewis in the Stockholm Olympic road race was F.H. ('Freddie') Grubb, a British road time trialling ace of the period. Grubb finished some 9 minutes behind Lewis while the British multi–champion Leon Meredith (and later the proprietor of the noted 'Constrictor' components company) finished fourth at 18 minutes. At the time, Grubb was a leading member of the powerful Vegetarian C.& A.C. He subsequently became a noted lightweight frame builder and the inventor of an early quick release wheel system – a claim disputed by some of his former business associates. The iconic Grubb marque was to live on for decades, with Holdsworth continuing to produce F.H. Grubb–badged lightweights up until the late 1970s. In beating both Grubb and Meredith, therefore, Lewis' scalps in Stockholm included two of the most iconic figures in 20th century British cycling.
The next major South African road success was in the Olympic road race in 1920 at the Antwerp Games – the first to be held since 1912 when Lewis had triumphed. The South African rider Henry Kaltenbrun finished the 100 mile individual road time trial event with the fastest time (4h 41m 26.6s) but was relegated to the silver medal position when the Swedish rider, Harry Stenqvist, protested that he had been delayed by four minutes at a closed railway level crossing. The protest was upheld, Stenqvist's time was adjusted to 4h 40m 01.9s and he was awarded the gold medal. As a result, Kaltenbrun received the silver medal.
But early South African involvement in road racing was not confined to international competitions abroad. According to a history of Durban's Kings Park Cycling Club:
'Starting before World War I…an interclub cycling race for the Speedwell trophy took place between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, alternating as an up and down run each year. This was restricted to the Durban and Pietermaritzburg clubs, the Speedwell, Rovers and Lords Cycling Clubs. Cyril Geoghegan won this event many times, breaking the down record three times between 1926 and 1932. In those days they rode with just one gear, usually a small 74 or 78 gear because of the hills. Traffic authorities stopped the race in the early 1930's because they felt it had become too dangerous. Bikes were overtaking the very much slower cars of that period, (with) cyclists in the race flying down the hills at speed…' (Huckett n.d., page 1).
Durban is a coastal port city while Pietermaritzburg, the provincial capital, lies at an altitude of 2 200 feet above sea level some 50 miles inland and is reached by traversing the rugged 'Valley of a Thousand Hills'. Early editions of the race would have been contested over unmade dirt roads which must have made the 'up' versions of the race very demanding indeed.
Evidence is of local enthusiasm for road events, specifically time trials, as having increased considerably during the late 1920s and early 1930s. For instance, according to the official SACF history (Jowett, 1982), the first national road racing title event was held in 1930 in the form of a 100 mile time trial (won by A.J. Gibbs). This annual event was finally discontinued only in1952. Several provincial road time trial championships were also established at around the same time, including:
Natal Province: 10 mile time trial (est.1929; discontinued in1953)
25 mile time trial (est. 1928; changed to 40 Km. in 1981)
Western Province: 25 mile time trial (est. 1934, discontinued in 1958)
50 mile time trial (est. 1934; discontinued in1958)
100 mile time trial (est. 1934; discontinued in 1952)
But the 1930s were also a time when 'massed start' road racing became increasingly popular worldwide. While the road race at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics took the form of a 100Km. time trial, at the 1936 Berlin Olympics the road race was contested as a 'massed start' event for the first time. It was won by the Frenchman Robert Charpentier with his fellow countryman Guy Lapébie finishing second. However, no South African riders participated in Los Angeles and in Berlin the two South African entrants were unplaced. But it proved to be a different story at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney, Australia.
Henry Binneman winning the 1938 Empire Games 100k road raceIn South Africa during the 1930s Cape Town's Hendrik ('Henri') Binneman had emerged as the leading long distance road time trialist of his day. From 1933 onwards he repeatedly won both the Western Province and national 100 mile individual road time trial titles. As a result, he was selected to contest the road race at the 1938 Empire Games. Jowett (1982: 57–8) describes what ensued as follows:
'Adding further lustre to the laurels of the two great Springbok cyclists, Rudolph Lewis and Henry Kaltenbrun, was Hendrik Binneman who won the 100 Kilometres Road Race at the British Empire Games in 1938 in Sydney, Australia. Unlike the road races won by Lewis and Kaltenbrun the race in Sydney was the first of a new technique of massed starts. South Africa had two starters, Binneman and Sid Rose (a track sprinter). They were opposed by teams from Australia, New Zealand and England. About 10 Kilometres after the start Rose was forced to drop out with cycle trouble and Binneman was left to race alone against all the competing teams. He won because he made the race to suit himself, and blocked any Team tactics he encountered. No praise could be too lavish for Binneman. He was great!'
Binneman won the 100Km. event in a time of 2h 53m 29.6s in a sprint finish ahead of John Brown (NZ) and Ray Jones (England).
However, the outbreak of World War II saw all competitive cycling cease in South Africa for the duration of the hostilities.
Road racing in the immediate post–World War II era in South Africa
A great revival in competitive cycling occurred amongst the White community in South Africa in the immediate post–war era. Track cycling was boosted by visiting overseas teams like the British one led by Lew Pond in 1948 and then again by the 1952 team captained by Tommy Godwin. Individual track riders who toured the country included the 1948 Olympic sprint champion Mario Ghella and the American Olympian Jackie Heid. But track cycling in South Africa was traditionally a summer sport. Being in the southern hemisphere the track season extended from November through to April of the following year and culminated in the prestigious national track championships held annually at Easter in different centres. In the pre–war period when track racing was pre–eminent and its champions lionised, the winter months (April through to October) had essentially been competitive cycling's 'off–season' during which a low–key programme of road time trials modelled on the British fixed distance system (10, 25 and 100 miles) operated..
In the immediate post–war years, however, all this began to change. A new enthusiasm for 'massed start' road racing took root in South Africa. It was inspired by accounts in the cycling media of both the epic exploits of Coppi, Koblet, van Steenbergen and Bartali in European stage races and one–day classics and the 'BLRC revolution' in Britain. New massed start road events began to proliferate throughout South Africa during the winter months which are generally mild climatically in much of the country. A typical local winter road season in Durban during that period thus consisted of individual and 'double harness' (two–up) 25 and 50 mile time trials run on the flat beachfront Snell's Parade circuit interspersed with 'massed start' races. Some of the latter were handicap events with small bunches starting at intervals and pursued by the fast men in the 'scratch' group. Initially these were contested by riders using single fixed machines with 81 being the gear of choice.
However, multi–geared road machines began to be increasingly sported by local riders. Celebrated Italian marques like Frejus, Legnano and Fiorelli were greatly prized along with locally–built 'DHC's crafted by Hans Huth from Reynolds 531 tubing and Nervex Pro lugs. Many nevertheless retained their British–made track/path machines (Claud Butler, Hobbs of Barbican and Carltons were great favourites, replacing pre–war Selbachs that were by now considered passé) with brake(s) added. Some mechanical virtuosos succeeded in adapting their track machines to incorporate derailleur gear mechs – Osgears and Simplex 'Tour de France' rear gears – for the duration of the winter road season.
As massed start road races began to proliferate in South Africa so the choice of courses became more varied to include climbs and descents. Some involved racing on unmade dirt roads either wholly or in part. This made having a dedicated multi–geared road machine a 'must have' for any would–be contender for road racing honours. (See image ablove)
The first South African massed start road championship was held in 1948 over a distance of 200 Km. It was won by George Estman, a man with the physique of a rugby forward, who was already an established Springbok trackman with international experience which included the 1948 Olympics. In Natal, 1947 was the first year in which an annual provincial road title was contested, with Stan Chelin (also a top track rider) winning. Other provinces rapidly followed suit in instituting massed start road titles.
The 1950s saw a rapid proliferation of single day and multi–stage massed start road races throughout South Africa. These attracted many of the country's established top riders while also serving to produce a new generation of talented roadmen (see Table 1).
Table 1. Major South African massed start road races in the 1950s
Simultaneously with these developments South Africans began to compete increasingly in road races abroad. In 1950, Peter Ryan finished 20th in the UCI (FIAC) amateur world road race and subsequently campaigned in Europe as a professional. In the following year Ed Gibello finished fourth in the amateur world road championship held at Varese in Italy.
In 1952, Brian ('Tuffy') Boyd finished second in a pioneering African eight–stage international massed start road race of some 350 miles. The event, which included an individual time trial, was run over six days from Salisbury (now Harare) in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) into Portuguese East Africa (now Moçambique). The field of some forty–odd competitors consisted of cyclists from the two Rhodesias (north and south), Moçambique, Portugal and South Africa. Starting initially on the narrow Rhodesian tarred roads of the time, the Moçambiquan stages were ridden entirely over dirt roads. The race's first stage was to the Rhodesian village of Marandellas; the second to the eastern border region with the town of Umtali serving as a rest day stop. It then descended to the northern Moçambiquan village of Vila de Manica. On one stage riders had to be ferried 'African Queen'–style across the Punge River. The race finally finished in the Moçambiquan port of Beira situated to the south of the delta of the Zambezi River. Boyd, a top roadman who was third in the first 'Old Dutch' Durban–Johannesburg stage race in 1951 (won by Johnny Ramsay with Bobby Fowler second), was one of several South Africans who competed in this legendary south–east African road racing safari. Boyd won one stage, his fellow South African Julie de Bakker took several but overall race victory went to the Portuguese star rider, João Melo.
The decade of the 1960s was characterised by the development of further massed start road races in the Southern African region. I962 saw a multi–stage 1 500 Km. race in the form of the 'Rembrandt (cigarettes) Wingerdfees' from Johannesburg to Paarl in the Cape Province. It was won by the Transvaaler Eddie King with Frank Irvine of Natal finishing second. Thereafter there was further contact with Portuguese–speaking cyclists in Moçambique. In 1963 a Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) – Greytown (Natal) – Lourenço Marques stage race was won also by Eddie King. In 1966 the 'Friendship Race' (Lourenço Marques– Mbabane [Swaziland] – Lourenço Marques) saw the Moçambiqan–Portuguese rider José Cipriano triumph. In 1966 also the 'Prova Samorel' stage race in Moçambique was won by the South African rider Graeme Vos.
But if the 1950s and early 1960s had been a period of the rapid growth of massed start road racing in the region, the late 1960s proved to be a troubled time for cycle sport in the country and for the exclusively 'Whites–only' South African Cycling Federation (SACF) in particular. South Africa's increasing international sporting isolation as a result of the state's apartheid policies negatively impacted upon SACF cycling on both road and track. Exclusion from the Olympics in 1963 by the IOC and suspension by the UCI in 1970 served as massive disincentives to SACF–affiliated South African cyclists.
The 1970s and after: South African cycling's darkest days
The time line of Classic Lightweights ends at 1970 and it might be considered appropriate to end a history of South African competitive road racing in the 20th century at this point since it also marks the beginning of the international boycott. To do so, however, would be to tell only half of the story. It would ignore the ensuing bitter power struggle for control of South African cycle sport in which road racing played a central part.
By the early 1970s competitive cycling in South Africa, while isolated internationally, nevertheless had three separate governing bodies: the South African Cycling Federation (SACF), the South African Cycling Association (SACA) and the South African Amateur Athletics and Cycling Association (SAAA&CA). The SACF was the exclusively White cycling body established in the mid–1950s after a parting of the ways with organised White athletics; SACA, formed in the late 1960s with roots in spontaneous competitive cycling developments in the Cape and Natal provinces in the1950s, espoused an explicitly non–racial policy but its membership consisted mainly of Coloured enthusiasts; the SAAA&CA, which had affiliated to the SACF in 1959 but remained separate from it, drew its membership almost exclusively from amongst black African gold miners most of whom were migrant workers from neighbouring African states like Botswana.
The convoluted sporting policy of the apartheid state at this time was subject to frequent modifications in an attempt to overcome the international sporting boycott without compromising its basic principle of racial segregation. In essence, the apartheid ideology did not allow for local clubs or representative teams in any sporting code to be racially mixed. Furthermore, in terms of this, mono–racial (effectively Whites only) official South African teams could compete only against people of colour if the latter were members of foreign teams. As a result, local competitions between SACF (White) cyclists, SACA (predominantly Coloured) cyclists and SAAA&CA (black African) cyclists were prohibited by law. It was this which both the UCI and the IOC objected to and which led to their institution of a sporting boycott.
In the early 1970s, control of the SACF was wrested away from a previously dominant group of ageing administrators and officials headed by Cyril Geoghegan who had been national president for some ten years during the 1960s. The new youthful and politically streetwise SACF executive had no qualms about unreservedly adopted the apartheid state's sporting policies and was immediately rewarded by generous financial support from the state's department of sport.
In 1973 the SACF succeeded in establishing the 'Rapport Toer' as an international multi–stage massed start road race between Cape Town and Johannesburg over a distance of some 1600 Kilometres. With substantial funding from an alliance of the apartheid state's department of sport, the pro–government Afrikaans–language Rapport Sunday newspaper and major local companies, its purpose was to challenge the international boycott. However, its 'hidden agenda' was to simultaneously uphold the apartheid state's segregationist sporting policies. To these ends riders were recruited from other countries (including a Botswanan team composed of migrants working on South African gold mines and a racially mixed Rhodesian team) to compete in sponsored squads against teams of local White cyclists. Foreign riders from Europe (Italy, Portugal, France and Belgium), Ireland and the UK were offered an all expenses paid trip together with a free post–race holiday in South Africa as an inducement to participate. They were formed into dummy national teams wearing kit bearing the logos of sponsors like 'Mum for Men' and 'TAP' (the Portuguese national airline).
Rapport - Portugese Team
These elaborate arrangements notwithstanding, after the ageing British ex–Tour de France rider Arthur Metcalfe won the second edition of the Rapport Toer in 1974 he was suspended by the UCI and this served as a warning to other UCI–affiliated riders. In the following year the Rapport Toer organisers sought to circumvent the likelihood of further such bannings by arranging for foreign riders to participate in the race under false names. However, quite by chance a visiting British journalist uncovered the real names of the Irish and Scots competitors involved and the deceit was revealed in the international media. This led to official enquiries which ultimately resulted in the IOC imposing lifetime bans on 16 riders from seven different countries including Ireland, Britain, Italy, France, Belgium and Portugal. Amongst these foreign competitors were two riders who were to subsequently win distinguished places in international cycling.
During the 1970s also the SACF proceeded to organise a number of lesser stage races locally on similar lines to that of the Rapport Toer, with financial support ultimately sourced from the apartheid state. But since SACA – the explicitly anti–apartheid but predominantly Coloured cycling organisation – viewed none of these initiatives as being genuinely non–racial since participating local teams remained racially segregated, they declined to allow their members to participate. Instead SACA organised separate road and track events for their own members including an annual national road championship. Given the rapid growth of competitive cycling amongst the Coloured communities in different provinces, SACA quickly emerged as a significant presence on the South African cycling scene in the 1970s.
But while the SACF had succeeded in achieving a measure of international competition for its riders through its local stage races, it continued to face major barriers to sending them abroad to compete as had been possible before 1970. This created a pressing problem since races like the Rapport Toer had produced a new generation of top local road riders anxious to compete abroad on the international stage. In order to meet their demands the SACF adopted a variety of covert means the exact nature of which remains obscure. As a result, several teams of SACF road riders took part in a series of events in Belgium in 1977, 1978 and 1979. These foreign forays were little publicised at the time either at home or abroad presumably to avoid further reprisals.
Nevertheless, two of the best SACF road riders to emerge in the 1970s, Robbie McIntosh (who was the first South African to win the Rapport Toer which he did in 1977 and then several times subsequently) and national multi–champion Alan van Heerden both succeeded in securing professional contracts with European teams; the former in Belgium, the latter in France. Van Heerden subsequently won stage 7 (at Pesara) in the 1979 Giro d'Italia while racing in the colours of the French Peugeot team. He was thus the first South African to have triumphed in a major international road event abroad since Henri Binneman won the British Empire Games road title in 1938.
The ensuing decade of the1980s was a period during which the wider South African society was further torn apart by escalating internal racial conflicts coupled with international sanctions which impacted negatively on all spheres of life. Competitive cycling was but one activity to suffer deeply in the process.
It was only with the final demise of the apartheid state in the early 1990s that South African cycle sport became fully racially integrated and was readmitted into international cycling circles, allowing its riders to begin to re-establish themselves on the world scene. It is impossible to estimate the toll taken on several generations of South African competitive cycling talent of all racial backgrounds by the 'lost decades'. However, that it was substantial is beyond dispute.
Thus Robbie Hunter's victory in the eleventh stage of the 2007 Tour de France perhaps marks a new beginning for South African road cycling internationally after the vicissitudes of the sport in the 20th century.

According to Symantec researchers, malware called Trojan.Milicenso has spent the past few weeks causing network printers worldwide to print nonsense characters until the printers run out of paper.
"The Sans Institute two weeks ago raised concerns about a potential 'print bomb' doing the rounds, noting several reports of an executable file causing unusual print outs," writes CSO Online's Liam Tung. "On Thursday Symantec cleared up questions over its cause, explaining it appears to be an unintended side effect of malware that was just trying to remain obscured."
"Our telemetry data has shown the worst hit regions were the US and India followed by regions in Europe and South America," Symantec researchers state in a blog post. "We originally encountered Trojan.Milicenso in 2010 and our initial investigation had shown that this was basically a malware delivery vehicle for hire. The payload that is most commonly associated with this latest version is Adware.Eorezo; an adware targeting French speaking users."
As Ars Technica's Dan Goodin notes, a McAfee Communities discussion is currently focused on the issue, with Kimberly-Clark's Gregory Smith noting that at his company, "The impact is global and effecting approximately 80 print servers. The print job names were all 15 characters in length and unique. The print jobs were all garbage print, as if it was opening the .exe and printing the garbage text. Our virus vendor has stated several other customers are experiencing this same issue, but no resolution has been identified as of yet."

This skin-contact Pinot Gris is the third wine white release in the Chic Fille line-up. The Chic Fille wines are meant for teaching and learning and this wine was specifically made as a challenge for Heidi. Pinot Gris is not her favourite varietal as it is often over-cropped in British Columbia and vinified in an innocuous manner. It is often not very interesting, either on the nose or the palate. Instead of treating the vinification as a traditional white wine fermenting the juice without skins, we used extended skin-contact in the manner of rosé (something that Heidi knows a lot about). This resulted in an alluring colour with the Pinot Gris expressing itself as an aromatic rather than just a boring white wine. Mind, changed. The wine is successfully aromatic, textural, mouth-filling, exotic and tart. It has been finished as unfiltered, to preserve the pretty colour and textural element of the wine, with minimal sulphur addition.

MANILA -- The government of President Corazon Aquino has been able to recover more than $100 million in cash siphoned from the Phillipine economy during the reign of former President Ferdinand Marcos.
Jovita Salonga, head of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, said Tuesday that his investigators had compiled "voluminous" evidence to show the money recovered so far was only a tiny fraction of the wealth stashed away by Marcos and his closest friends.
Salonga carefully avoided saying how much "hidden wealth" Marcos and his allies accumulated during their 20 years in power, but he said it was more than $1 billion and he acknowledged previous estimates by others who put the figure between $5 billion and $10 billion.
"I will not say it, but it has been said that it may be even higher than that," Salonga said during a question and answer session with the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines.
In one of Aquino's first moves after coming to power through a popular uprising last February, she gave Salonga sweeping powers as head of a presidential commission charged with recovering Marcos's ill-gotten wealth.

As noted on our heritage page about the 400-year-old first (or 'old') Jewish cemetery in Rohatyn, the site is acknowledged and preserved by the city in its original purpose as a burial place, but its connection with the city as a place of memory is much diminished due to its significant destruction during the Shoah and indifference during the Soviet era. Denuded of nearly all its thousands of carved and inscribed burial markers, the family and community stories once written in stone there are today largely lost.
Read about the history and heritage of Rohatyn's Jewish cemeteries.
Browse our news articles for coverage of events related to this project.
In our article on Jewish traditions for death, burial, and mourning, we note that in Jewish law, a cemetery is a holy place more sacred even than a synagogue, and that the care of cemeteries is an essential religious and social responsibility. Care of the old Jewish cemetery in Rohatyn is a primary concern of the Rohatyn Jewish Heritage program. Residents of Rohatyn respect all burial sites, but with no living local Jewish community in Rohatyn today, there are few nearby resources available for care on the scale the site needs. The size of the cemetery (roughly one hectare, or about 2.5 acres) means that even simple maintenance, let alone major rehabilitation, scales too large for occasional remedial work.
The old cemetery is also the site of another important memory project we are managing in Rohatyn: it is currently the collecting point for Jewish headstones broken and stolen from the cemeteries during the Nazi occupation, now recovered from streets, walkways, building foundations, and private gardens in Rohatyn due to ongoing efforts by townspeople and descendants of Rohatyn Jewish families, and brought to the old cemetery for documentation, treatment, and display. This related effort is described in the Jewish Headstone Recovery Project on this website.
The goals of the Old Jewish Cemetery Rehabilitation Project are to:
- clean and clear the cemetery of unwanted vegetation and refuse
- survey the site to document visible and hidden fixed memorial markers
- develop the landscape to reduce annual maintenance effort and cost
- create and install directional signage to lead visitors to the site, and informational signage to explain the history and heritage
- create an enduring place to protect and display Jewish headstone fragments from around Rohatyn, inviting townspeople and visitors to study and learn from them, perhaps even to reunite fragments
- create a place of respect and contemplation about the Jewish past of Rohatyn
As described below, progress has already been made on this project, beginning with a week-long volunteer cleaning and clearing event in 2018 and now continuing with additional volunteer events in 2019. We anticipate that the project will gain a significant boost in planning, design, and expert advice thanks to a Fulbright Program research grant awarded to Rohatyn Jewish Heritage president Marla Raucher Osborn for the 2019~2020 academic year, with specific focus on the old Jewish cemetery. As for our other projects, all RJH efforts will proceed with the continuing involvement of the Rohatyn city office and the office of the Rabbi of Ivano-Frankivsk.
Clearing and Cleaning the Grounds
Clearing and cleaning the cemetery grounds continues to be an essential component of the project; it aids in the assessment of soil conditions, in locating fixed and loose headstones and fragments, and in retarding decay of the site. Clearing and cleaning focuses on the removal of unwanted fast-growing and woody shrubs and trees, as well as the removal of accumulations of debris such as glass, metal, plastic, loose rocks, and garbage. The clearing process has already revealed hidden headstones, grave covers, and the base stumps of broken headstones.
In 2018 we partnered with our friends The Matzevah Foundation (TMF), an experienced US-based cemetery rehabilitation organization which has led volunteer projects clearing and restoring Jewish cemeteries of Poland since 2005, to plan, purchase tools for, and conduct a major vegetation-clearing volunteer event at Rohatyn's old Jewish cemetery in the summer. Together with several Ukrainian volunteers plus the considerable mind and muscle of many Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) serving in Ukraine, a first-pass clearing of more than 80% of the cemetery was completed; further progress was made in subsequent one-day efforts with Ukrainian and Swedish volunteers plus PCVs. Our strategy is now focused on annual grass and shrub mowing plus aggressive trimming of stumps (of trees and woody shrubs) flush to the ground; a series of events with PCVs and international volunteers in 2019 continues that effort.
Site Survey of Existing Fixed Markers and Memorials
Once the old Jewish cemetery has been significantly cleared and cleaned, it will be possible to perform a site survey to define the cemetery boundary and measure the variable elevation within, and then geo-locate, index, and document each of the existing fixed markers and memorials, whether headstones from before World War II or monuments created and installed after the war. At the same time, other fixed features of the cemetery (fences, gates, retaining walls, stairs, electrical power poles, etc.) will be geo-located and assessed for integrity and utility. Information from the survey may then be used in further planning and design at the site.
Informal surveys of the markers have been made by Rohatyn Jewish descendants in the past, showing at least 22 fixed complete or partial headstones and grave covers, plus post-war memorials. Ongoing cemetery clearing will undoubtedly reveal additional fixed headstone fragments and some loose fragments; systematic gentle probing of the cemetery surface may also indicate more fragments. In late 2017, a first boundary and coarse elevation survey of the old cemetery was conducted by an engineer for ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, as part of a wide European cemetery survey program intended for cost estimation in cemetery fencing projects. Data from this survey can be used for preliminary planning in Rohatyn, but a more detailed and comprehensive survey of fixed elements in the cemetery is still needed.
Landscape Development
Detailed design of landscaping to stabilize the appearance and minimize the recurring maintenance of the old cemetery will be developed as part of the Fulbright research project to be completed in June 2020. An initial concept for rehabilitation of the cemetery was created for RJH by Andrij Bojarov, a Lviv-based visual artist trained in architecture and frequently working on public spaces. That concept adapted ideas from projects of Piet Oudolf, a Dutch designer of many public and private gardens in the US and across Europe; significantly, Oudolf designed the Gardens of Remembrance in Battery Park in New York City as a memorial for victims of the World Trade Center attacks of 2001, but his work also appears in many other types of public spaces and is celebrated for its year-round visual appeal, durability, and sustainability. For a project at the south mass grave memorial, Rohatyn Jewish Heritage has also engaged the design services of a Lviv-based landscaping firm, Green Garden. Plant suggestions, methods, and other aspects from both of these concepts will be considered in early research for the old cemetery project; decisions and detailed designs will be made with the advice of experts contributing to the Fulbright work.
A Memorial Monument for Recovered Headstones
A key feature of the rehabilitated old cemetery space will be a memorial monument incorporating the recovered Jewish headstones which are currently being collected in groups as they are returned along the western (lower) end of the northern edge of the cemetery. The design and technical details of the monument will be evaluated and defined as part of the Fulbright research project. An important factor influencing concepts for the monument is that the recovery of headstone fragments is very much still in progress, and likely will continue for decades to come; thus, even though hundreds of fragments and whole stones have been recovered, far more still lie undiscovered under Rohatyn streets, and the monument should be designed to accommodate their future inclusion. Most of the headstones removed from the cemeteries during the war were broken into two to four fragments; although we have yet to find two large fragments from the same original headstone, that possibility becomes probable when considering the number of stone pieces still hidden.
For this reason, our initial concept for the monument does not include a lapidarium or similar wall incorporating headstone fragments permanently fixed with hard materials, as has been constructed at many damaged Jewish cemeteries in Europe. Rather, following an idea developed by artist Andrij Bojarov, we are considering a low concrete pedestal to support the recovered stones, two or more meters wide and running in a sweeping arc along most of the high northern edge of the cemetery, with a path alongside and nearby signage so that visitors can study to fragments and consider their original placement.
In this concept, after cleaning and surface stabilization, the recovered stones would be placed on the pedestal, resting there rather than attached, yet still isolated from the earth to minimize moisture absorption. Bojarov has also proposed that the low pedestal could be composed of a special near-white concrete with relatively fine aggregate, as he helped develop for the beit midrash memorial monument at Lviv's Space of Synagogues.
Existing standing headstones in the old cemetery will also be cleaned and treated, with signage to aid in their discovery and interpretation. Specific plans for these rare survivors will also be elaborated in the detail designs output from the Fulbright project.
Signage and Information Design
Physical signs for the old Jewish cemetery, both directional and informational, are important to our goal of reconnecting the cemetery to the town for both residents and visitors. The development of designs for these signs is also a key component of the 2019-2020 Fulbright project, and will be integrated with signage plans, formats, and materials created for other heritage sites by the city office in Rohatyn. Informational signs at the site will explain the history of the Rohatyn and regional Jewish communities who buried their dead at the cemetery, Jewish burial and mourning practices, and about the symbols and texts carved into the gravestones, with QR-code-style links to additional online information about this and other heritage sites, both on this website and on city history and museum sites. Physical signs, like the digital pages, will be written in at least two languages (Ukrainian and English). The overall information goals and strategies are described in the Physical Signs and Markers Project and the Digital Information Project.
Fence and Gate Repair (or Replacement)
The existing steel picket fence surrounding the old cemetery was installed two decades ago by Rohatyn Jewish descendants and the Rohatyn city office. It has begun decaying, some sections are missing, and both gates are missing doors. However, the fence still serves its primary purpose, to visually mark the cemetery boundaries; on the high northern side, the fence also serves to protect visitors from the steep ground slope just beyond. With the help of kind neighbors living adjacent to the cemetery, we are gradually repairing and replacing what we can of the existing fence.
It is important to our goal of re-integrating the cemetery into the cultural fabric of the city that the fence remains visually open, the gates remain unlocked, and the cemetery itself becomes more inviting to visitors. Our efforts to clear the cemetery grounds of overgrown wild vegetation includes cutting back unwanted aggressive shrubs at the fence, plus annual maintenance to inhibit those shrubs' return, while retaining several of the decorative trees and hedges which have appeared along the fence in the last decades – all intended to improve visibility inward to the cemetery and outward to the surrounding neighborhood and the city.
Eventually the fence will require replacement, but we hope that the existing fence can continue to serve its primary purpose for years to come.
Recurring maintenance of the site and its features is an important part of all of our projects; planning and cost estimates for long-term maintenance will be included in the 2019-2020 Fulbright project research and development, and low-maintenance considerations will serve as essential factors in many design decisions. In the meantime, maintenance is limited to ongoing inspection, clearing, cleaning, and minor repair work as described above.
Project Costs
Cost estimates for long-term development of the old Jewish cemetery as a memorial site and memory space will be calculated as part of the 2019-2020 Fulbright research project. In the meantime, the 2018 clearing and cleaning effort required significant volunteer effort plus a substantial investment in hand and motor tools for clearing vegetation; overall in 2018 we spent more than US$6000 on tools and expenses for the old cemetery. In 2019, continuing the landscape clearing effort still depends heavily on volunteer effort, with tool investment now limited to purchase of a few specialized motor tools and repair/replacement of worn and damaged tools purchased earlier. A rough estimate of running costs for 2019 is US$1500 for tools, US$1000 for expenses in each of three major volunteer clearing events (these costs are shared with our projects at other sites such as the new Jewish cemetery), and perhaps US$1000 total for smaller work events (typically just RJH and a handful of friends) through 2019. All of these project investments and expenses are paid from donations to our NGO by individuals and organizations.


text: Onion Creek Firefighters Battle 50-Acre Brush Fire Near Onion Creek And I-35 By Matt Largey | KUT & Stephanie Federico | KUT • Sep 7, 2019 Austin Fire Department Update at 12:28 p.m. Sunday: The Austin Fire Department tweeted that the brush fire was 90% contained. Crews were continuing to monitor the scene. City Expects Dripping Springs' Wastewater To Flow Into Onion Creek – And Barton Creek – Next Year By DaLyah Jones • Nov 30, 2018 Gabriel C. Pérez / KUT Wastewater from Dripping Springs could flow into Austin's watershed by as soon as next year. After years of back-and-forth, city officials say they expect the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to approve a permit from Dripping Springs to discharge wastewater into Onion Creek next month, paving the way for the City of Dripping Springs to begin diverting runoff after the new year. Austin Worries a Plan to Dump Waste Water in Onion Creek Could Impact Barton Springs By Mose Buchele | KUT • Nov 10, 2016 Miguel Gutierrez Jr. / KUT Listen Listening... / 2:32 Tonight, the public is invited to give its input at a hearing held by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) over a permit to allow Dripping Springs to dump almost a million gallons of treated wastewater into Onion Creek, about a day upstream of Austin. That idea has many people in Austin very worried. Flooding Discussions Continue at Council Committee By Audrey McGlinchy | KUT • May 27, 2016 Jorge Sanhueza Lyon / KUT With the promise of rain, Upper Onion Creek resident Ken Jacob says neighbors of his can be found with their eyes to the creek and the internet – where rain gauge levels are updated. So it's essential to someone like Jacob, who serves on the city's Flood Mitigation Task Force, that the city continue to discuss flood mitigation. Listen Listening... / 1:20 Task Force Report on Austin Flooding Prioritizes 'Life, Safety and Property' By Audrey McGlinchy | KUT • May 17, 2016 Jorge Sanhueza Lyon/KUT UPDATE: After our story was originally published, we heard from several members of Flood Mitigation Task Force, who disputed the assertions made by some task force members, including the group's chairman, who said the final report lacked prioritization. An executive summary of the report, not available at Monday's meeting of the Council's Public Utilities committee, whittles down the nearly 200 recommendations into 19 high priority ones. Topping that list is the creation of a city-wide policy that prioritizes life, safety and property when it comes to flooding. The task force recommends that the city then consider this when making upcoming budget decisions. In conversations with other members of the task force, some took issue with chairman Matt Reinstra's presentation of the report to the Public Utilities Committee. At that time, he did not present the executive summary to council members because it had not yet been finalized by the task force. "Many of the things he mentioned as recommendations were very minor things that were in there," said task force member Ken Jacob. "We're trying to come forward and say this is important. This is something you, the council, needs to pay attention to and the city needs to pay attention to because it's a big issue." Jacob also cautioned against considering too heavily the report's note that, at the city's current rate of improvements, it would cost $2 to $4 billion to address local flooding issues. "The numbers are just estimates [staff] were able to pull out there," said Jacob. "And they're going to have to do more work on that to finalize it." ORIGINAL STORY: Nearly a year after floodwaters wrecked businesses and homes in Austin over Memorial Day, members of the city's Public Utilities Committee heard a rundown of a report from the city's Flood Mitigation Task Force. It's a 89-page document bursting with nearly 200 recommendations for city staff – among them, suggestions to replace aging storm drainage systems and enhancing public outreach by the city's Watershed Protection Department. According to the report, the total cost of these recommendations ranges from $2 billion to $4 billion. Listen Listening... / 2:33 Two Years After Floods, Dove Springs Residents Are Still Waiting on City Buyouts By Audrey McGlinchy | KUT • Nov 10, 2015 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT Monday night, Yvette Griego walked into Perez Elementary School in Dove Springs. She followed the hallway to the library, where City of Austin staff was gathered to field questions about home buyouts from victims of the recent Central Texas floods. Many of the affected Dove Springs residents, though, say that they've heard these answers from the City before — two years ago, after flooding hit their neighborhood around Halloween in 2013. Resources, and How to Help the Central Texans Hit Hardest by the Weekend's Floods By KUT Staff • Nov 2, 2015 Most of the rivers and creeks engorged by Friday's heavy rainfall have reached their highest points and have started to recede. As they do, the residents of hard-hit places, like San Marcos, Bastrop County and Austin's Onion Creek neighborhood, are starting the process of cleaning up and assessing the damage. Though the rescue efforts are over, and many donation centers are no longer accepting donated material goods, there are still ways you can help, whether it's by donating money, or making yourself available to volunteer, or bringing in clean clothes for those who lost their belongings. If you're a resident looking for help removing damaged goods or receiving donations, there's information for you as well. Onion Creek Area Homeowners Frustrated Over City's Buyout Delay By Veronica Zaragovia • Nov 1, 2015 Veronica Zaragovia/KUT Yet again, homeowners in the Onion Creek area spent Saturday cleaning up after torrential rains flooded their homes, for the second time since the Halloween floods of 2013. And this time around, some residents are losing patience. That includes homeowners like Jose Vara, who was feeling angry as he stood outside his home wearing tall black rubber boots. His house got about six inches of water inside. From the door you could see mud all over the house floor. Listen Listening... / 2:22 Feds Allocate $21 Million for Onion Creek Buyout By Joy Diaz • Feb 4, 2015 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT News The Army Corps of Engineers announced Tuesday another $21 million for the Onion Creek area of Southeast Austin. Some of the money will be used to buy out more homes in the floodplain. The buy-out program includes a total of almost 500 homes and it dates back to the 1990s. Over a Year After Floods, Onion Creek Properties Face Delayed Repairs, Liens By Joy Diaz • Dec 15, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon for KUT Some Southeast Austin neighbors fear they're in danger of losing their homes. Some Onion Creek homes have been uninhabitable since the 2013 Halloween floods hit the Onion Creek community. Now, some contractors have placed liens on the once-inundated properties, claiming they need more money to finish the repairs. "This is my flooded property that still isn't ready after over a year," says Onion Creek resident Marilyn Barack on a cold morning. A Story of Survival: One Year After the Halloween Floods By Joy Diaz • Nov 1, 2014 Ilana Panich-Linsman, KUT News It was still dark the morning of Halloween 2013 when hundreds of families in Onion Creek, a neighborhood in South East Austin, woke up to rising water in their homes. Bene Jacobs and her family survived the flood by taking refuge on their neighbor's roof. She remembers that morning clearly. Bene and her partner Lawrence waded through the waters with their three children in tow. Ten-year-old Isaac was in Lawrence's arms. Isaac was born with special needs. His wheelchair would have been swept by the fast moving waters. Alyssa was five at the time and Acelee, a toddler. How Long Will It Take to Finish the Onion Creek Buyout Demolitions? By Joy Diaz • Jul 14, 2014 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT Last Halloween at least 580 homes in Austin were damaged by floods in the Onion Creek area, causing nearly $30 million in property damage. So far, the city has purchased 116 properties that were either damaged by flood waters or are in danger of future flooding. By the end of the year, demolition contractors plan on knocking down 105 homes in the area. But what happens to all the leftover debris from those homes, and how long will the project take to complete? After Report Faults Halloween Flood Response, Is More Accountability Needed? By Joy Diaz • May 5, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News Update: Austin City Council member and mayoral candidate Mike Martinez is asking the city's Public Safety Commission to consider recommending an independent review of city response to the deadly Halloween flooding. A report done by city staff highlighted more than 100 response problems, including communication issues between agencies and with the general public. Read more about the findings in the original story below. In emails to the commission, Martinez requests the group consider calling for an independent review. Martinez also finds fault with the framing of the city's report, writing "My general impression is that the failures and opportunities are large, and the successes are relatively small. Giving them equal weight with a tally of successes, opportunities, and failures seems to undermine the seriousness of any analysis." The Public Safety Commission will also hear reports from Austin Fire, Police and EMS about the response to last October's flooding. Original story (April 15): In Austin, it's almost certain a flood will hit in the future. What we don't know is when. How Halloween Flood Survivors are Recovering From Post-Traumatic Stress By Joy Diaz • Apr 18, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News On the surface of the Onion Creek neighborhood, there's progress. The community is slowly recovering from 2013's deadly Halloween floods. Many families are back in their homes, even though most homes have yet to be fully rebuilt. But scratch the surface, and people are still suffering the psychological effects of that night. Often when we hear about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it's in the context of war. But David Evans, CEO of Austin/Travis County Integral Care, says PTSD can affect those who survive any traumatic experience. Report Lists Over 100 Lessons From Austin's Deadly Halloween Floods By Joy Diaz • Apr 13, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News It's taken the City of Austin and Travis County almost six months to finalize a report detailing emergency response to the 2013 Halloween floods: what worked, what needs improvement and what – flat out – did not work. See the full report here [PDF]. The report repeatedly highlights communication problems: between agencies, then between first responders, then with the general public. There was no clear channel of communication. There was no awareness about the kind of people who lived in the affected area either: a majority-minority community that does not primarily communicate using English. There's a Different Kind of Homelessness for Onion Creek Flood Victims By Joy Diaz • Mar 21, 2014 Joy Diaz, KUT News When you think about the word "homeless," what comes to mind? Homelessness can include a person who lacks housing. But it is also includes people in transitional housing. That's where Lydia Huerta, her husband and their three kids found themselves after they lost their home to flooding October 31. Huerta says she "never really felt panic" until she lost her home. Does Public Input Really Matter in City Projects? By Joy Diaz • Mar 19, 2014 Austin Parks and Recreation Department Public input meetings are places where ideas float around, and where friends with similar interests reconnect. At a meeting this week at Dove Springs' Mendes Middle School, you could see neighbors sharing input on what they'd like to see happen at Onion Creek Park. Susan Willard, president of the Onion Creek Parks Neighborhood Alliance said she wants "[a] picnic area and barbeque grills." She even remembers a place from her childhood called Davey Crockett National Forest that has platforms and rope swings. "They could do something like that back in there," Willard says. "That'd be really cool! You know? Something that fits with nature." Austin to Receive Federal Funds to Buyout Homes in Onion Creek By Kate McGee • Mar 5, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News The federal government is sending $11.8 million to Travis County to help buy out homes in the flood-prone Onion Creek neighborhood. More than 600 homes in the area were damaged or destroyed in last October's flooding, but Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell's office says the effort to buy out homes and restore the area to its natural habitat goes back to another flash flood there in 1998. Halloween Flooding Caused More than $30 Million in Damage to Insured Properties By Kate McGee • Feb 11, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News A statewide insurance association says the Halloween flooding in Austin caused more than $30 million in insured damages to residential and commercial properties. More than 580 insured homes and commercial properties in Hays, Travis and Caldwell counties were damaged by the floodwater, according to the figures released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the Insurance Council of Texas. Onion Creek Residents Worry About Mold After Halloween Floods By Joy Diaz • Jan 30, 2014 Jon Shapley for KUT News The mostly uninhabited neighborhood of Onion Creek in southeast Austin has experienced some growth. But it's growth the few neighbors who are back do not welcome. Mold and mildew is growing in many of the homes that were left uninhabited after last year's floods, which could create health problems for those living in Onion Creek. First Floods, Now This: Onion Creek Residents Face Break-Ins, Thefts By Joy Diaz • Jan 22, 2014 Joy Diaz, KUT News The holidays can be prime for home break-ins – after all, that's when people go out of town for a few days and leave their homes unattended. But imagine what happens when an entire neighborhood is forced out of their homes – and the vast majority of houses remain uninhabited for almost three months. That's the situation in flood-stricken Onion Creek in southwest Austin. MLK Day Cleanup Rids Flood-Stricken Onion Creek Park of Debris By Joy Diaz • Jan 20, 2014 Joy Diaz/KUT The flood-stricken neighborhood of Onion Creek honored the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today by cleaning a community park that's been covered with debris since last year's Halloween flood. Metallic doors, glass from broken windows, gas tanks were among the many items strewn about the park. Mary-Lee Plumb-Mentjes filled an entire bucket with broken glass. "I've always picked up trash," Plumb-Mentjes said. "We've been given two hands [and] I feel we should use [them] when we see something," After Unwanted Towing, APD Orders Most Tow Trucks in Onion Creek to Back Off By Joy Diaz • Jan 20, 2014 Joy Diaz, KUT In the days following last year's Halloween floods, tow trucks were indispensable to the Onion Creek community in Southeast Austin. The flood disabled hundreds of vehicles and left them scattered throughout the area — some were in the middle of the road, while others careened into people's homes. But, after the waters receded, some say towing companies have developed a habit of towing cars — even when they're not asked to do so. Why Some Flood Homeowners Think Twice Before Selling to the City of Austin By Joy Diaz • Jan 16, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT The city of Austin has made offers to buy at least two dozen homes damaged by the Halloween flood. Why then, are some homeowners refusing to sell? Floods are nothing new in South East Austin's Onion Creek neighborhood. And neither is the city's buyout program. It began back in 1998. The idea has always been to buy homes in the floodplain using taxpayer money to avoid future loss of life and property damages. Terry Morris, a contractor and a real estate agent in Austin, owns a duplex in Onion Creek that's been on the city's buyout list for years. He recently opted out of the program. 11 Weeks After Flooding, Animal Carcasses Removed From Onion Creek (Update) By Joy Diaz • Jan 15, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News Update: Austin Resource Recovery confirms that all 5 horse carcasses on public land were removed Tuesday afternoon. Original Post: More than two months after flooding in Southeast Austin killed several people and caused millions of dollars in damage, the clean up continues. But some things left behind by the floodwaters are particularly disturbing: at least half a dozen dead horses. The city has yet to retrieve the bodies of horses killed in the flooding which, in some cases, lie a short distance from people's homes—people like Lydia Huerta. She says there are moments where the stench from the dead animals is unbearable. Her backyard is directly in front of a city park where some carcasses still remain. Editor's Note: You can view photos of some of the animals in question here, though the photos are gruesome and may not be suitable for some. Travis County Provides Tax Relief for Flood Victims By Joy Diaz • Jan 3, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News It is property tax season and, for the people affected by last October's floods, there will be some relief. The disaster declaration Texas Governor Rick Perry signed in December means flood victims can have their properties re-assessed and can make their payments in installments. The relief will be small, since it will only cover the months of November and December, but Travis County Tax Assessor Bruce Elfant said at a press conference today that, for over 600 properties, the relief means they'll have a smaller tax payment. With Help from the Community, Flood Survivors Celebrate the Holidays By Joy Diaz • Jan 3, 2014 These days, the streets in the Onion Creek neighborhood look desolate. Rows and rows of homes are still boarded up. But as you walk down the streets, you can see the occasional truck hauling construction materials and hear the clatter of recovery, as crews work to rebuild what was lost in the flooding over Halloween weekend last October. While the cleanup efforts continue, and homes are rebuilt, over the holidays it was the giving spirit of strangers that really helped families get back to normal after the floods. LISTEN: How One Austin Family is Rebuilding After the Halloween Floods By Joy Diaz • Nov 21, 2013 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News This year, KUT News is chronicling the challenges and changes affecting Austin's Dove Springs neighborhood in a series called "Turning the Corner." These stories have taken on added urgency in the aftermath of Austin's Halloween floods, where flooding directly affected many Dove Springs residents. Bene Jacobs' morning routine hasn't changed that much. She still gets up before 6 a.m., before it's light outside. In the darkness, at her cousin's house in Del Valle, Bene struggles to find her way into the room where her children sleep. "Still learning all the light switches," she whispers. Cause of Onion Creek Flood Gauge Failure Still Unknown By Kate McGee • Nov 18, 2013 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News Early on the morning of Oct. 31, as waters rose to historic levels in Onion Creek, two of the flood gauges that officials rely on to monitor water levels weren't working. The flooding heavily damaged more than 600 homes and killed five. One gauge was completely submerged by water, damaging the equipment – which isn't waterproof. But the other had malfunctioned before the flooding even began. And more than two weeks after the Halloween Floods, city and emergency officials still don't know why. The gauges, which are managed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provide emergency responders with critical information during floods about how fast and how high flood waters are rising. In Austin, there are 130 flood gauges that measure water levels, rainfall and low-water crossings 24 hours a day. Rebuilding After Austin Floods? Watch Out For These Health Hazards By Veronica Zaragovia • Nov 7, 2013 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon, KUT News The Halloween flooding in Onion Creek devastated an already underserved community in southeast Austin. Now, people like 18-year-old Frank Amaya need help with the cleanup of their streets and neighborhoods. "My home was flooded. All three cars were totaled. My Dodge ended up in a forest all crushed with other cars," Amaya said. He was one of the hundreds of people who came to Perez Elementary School Tuesday night to vent frustrations with city officials and learn about recovery efforts. Pages1 2 next › last »

background check
Harold Boothe (aka: hbsongs, uncle h & the hatbox band) grew up in south Alabama. At the age of 6 and with the assistance of a tornado, the family moved from the Blue Springs Community into the town of Opp. Mention Opp, Alabama in a conversation and most folks have heard of it because of : 1. Rattlesnake Rodeo 2. Grand ole Opry star Lew Childre 3. You go through there on the way to Panama City 4. Roughass railroad tracks.
One of his earliest musical memories is of his grandmother playing guitar tuned in "vassapoo", using a pocket knife to chord. Other family members, inluding his mother and brother, played and sang, so it was just the thing to do. The tv provided Porter Waggoner and Jim & Jesse... Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Mac Davis and others had shows that provided a variety of musical styles. Besides music around the house, Daddy was a truck driver, so the 8 track in the truck provided Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Rodriguez, Ray Price, Faron Young...along with Hank Williams, who was known to haunt the area in his day.
Later major influences include Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne, Willie Nelson, Bob Frank, Todd Rundgren, and fellow Oppian, Hal Lynch.
Most recently his inspirations have been legendary songwriter Curly Putman and an awesome cajun writer/picker by the name of Ronnie Fruge.
Harold remembers writing songs as early as the age of 10 and still writes today...it's a part of life.

Have you ever had one of those evenings where time just vanished and you didn't know where to? Sometimes I feel like the magicians assistant. One minute I am in a box, present and accounted for the next… POOF!! Alakazam! I am gone until he brings me back. In the interim life goes on.
Yesterday was one slam, packed busy evening that got entirely away from me. Hence no baking 😦 sniff, sniff…snuffle…sniff. Then to top it all off I came home late to a pantry filled with dust bunnies. One: Dust bunnies are not very filling and Two: Monkeys do not eat bunnies at least not in my house. In my house they are soft, cuddly, stuffed and named Nibbles.
All I had was some organic chicken breast in the fridge, stone ground Dijon mustard, a lemon and some honey from my darlin' surfers stash. At least it would be better than zero, zip, nada for dinner right? No complaints here about Plain Jane chicken tonight. Remind me later that I said that.
Since I am running out the door for a little road trip this recipe is going to go quickly. Got your seat belts ready? Hold on, here we go!
Preheat oven to 425
Organic boneless skinless chicken breast.
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon quartered
1 tsp Dijon Mustard per breast
1/2 tsp honey per breast
pinch of Rosemary
Drizzle about 1/2 tsp of honey on each breast.
Slather about 1tsp of stone ground Dijon mustard onto the chicken breast. Now I am TICKLED 🙂
Sprinkle a little bit of fresh Rosemary leaves from the garden and pop the chicken into the oven for approximately 25 min. Thank you herb garden for saving my bum on more than one occasion. I will be giving you some extra compost when I get home, xoxo.
DING! Dinner was done.
Did you get whiplash? Now my surfer and I loved this, absolutely thought it was delicious and mouthwatering. The monkeys loved everything but the skin!?! Huh, what?
Yo monkeys they are skinless, what skin? Are you guys feeling okay? Did you take one to many soccer balls to the head at practice ? Were you playing at the beach and get rolled in a wave?
It just goes to show you that when you have picky monkeys living with you that the pantry needs to be stocked to the gills at all times. Unless you like to torture your guys with new concoctions the way that I do 🙂
Have a great day today while I am driving down the road. When I get home I look forward to hearing all about the dishes that you have created on the fly.

The head of the presidential Council on human rights (HRC) Mikhail Fedotov has expressed the view that the Russian law «On assemblies, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets» contains errors and requires correction.
«With regard to the law (on rallies — ed.), the law, of course, needs correction. There are a lot of errors,» Fedotov said in Moscow on Friday during the meeting of the working group «Civil society» of the German-Russian forum «Petersburg dialogue», which he is co-chair.
«The law says that it is not necessary to check with local authorities about the picket and the meeting if they are held by one party. I can imagine a picket conducted by one participant, but the meeting, which is held by one party, I can not imagine. Tried, fantasy is not enough» — gave the example of the head of the HRC.
Speaking of public activity and the recent protests in Russia, he noted that the HRC closely engaged in this topic. The Council, in particular, sent their observers to the opposition rallies, which were held in different cities of the country on March 26 and June 12.
«And we are now collecting information from all regions where the numbers were any protests. Incidentally, in many regions, they were coordinated with the authorities, and no problems there arose. Therefore, we constantly emphasize that the best means of combating unauthorized public events is to authorize these public events,» — said Fedotov.
He explained, that on agreed public events usually do not trouble nor of those who go to protest, nor of those who happened to be there. But in place of the recent uncoordinated action in Tver was a lot of people who are absolutely no relation to the protests had not, but was the result, in police departments, the human rights activist says.
He also reminded Council of the special report to the President in which human rights defenders will analyse the materials on the events in the stock March 26, and June 12. In preparing the report, the HRC will rely on materials obtained from almost all regions of Russia, said the head of the Council.
«The relevant requests have already been sent, answers have come. So that work in this direction is conducted» — said Fedotov.
