This document provides a history of Sparrows Point in Baltimore County, Maryland from the 1600s to the 1950s. It describes how the land was originally granted and settled by Native Americans and European colonists for farming and hunting. In the late 1800s, the land was purchased to establish the Maryland Steel Company (later Bethlehem Steel) due to its proximity to shipping routes for importing raw materials. The steel mill and company town grew dramatically through the early 20th century, employing thousands, with schools, housing, and other infrastructure for workers and their families. The document highlights some of the economic, social, and labor issues faced by the mill and workers over time, such as accidents, unions, strikes, and later challenges leading to
Gaithersburg was originally a predominantly agricultural area, with many farms, mills, a railroad station, and cannery that supported the rural economy. Over time, as the city developed it transformed from an agricultural to a suburban area. However, Gaithersburg's agricultural past is still evident through place names, remnants of old structures, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings that were once integral parts of the local farming community.
The Lenswood Memorial Park was established in 1946 when local residents raised funds to purchase land to create a community park. It was officially opened in 1949 and facilities like tennis courts and an oval were developed. Over subsequent decades more amenities were added through fundraising and grants, including a hall, playground, and pavilion. By the 1990s a new toilet block had been built and the hall upgraded, celebrating the park's role in bringing the community together for over 50 years.

This new modern contemporary kitchen by Aster Cucine with glass doors doesn’t need to show-off to make a statement. A subtle and refined visual language unites each piece of furniture, speaking volumes about contemporary style. A range of exciting elements: texture, color, material and light all work together to create the out-of-the-ordinary Uglass kitchen. For example, the stainless steel backdrop to the cooking area is no ordinary stainless steel finish. Instead, it is rippled to contrast with the high-gloss finish of the kitchen storage units. An accent here and there of natural, beautifully grained wood also adds to the vibrancy of the modern kitchen. Cool, calm green is sets the tone for the kitchen. The furniture is this color, and so is the light radiating from the hood above the stove, as well under all of the cupboard units. The light even shines out from within the cupboards – a futuristic touch that unites the whole area. Taking you to a new place of refinement and relaxation: this is the new Contempora By Aster Cucine

Mill House Properties is developing a two-phase plan to create a micro-hydroelectric power plant at Levitstown Mill in Athy, Ireland. Phase 1 involves installing a 50kW turbine that would generate an estimated €40,000 annually from electricity sales and carbon credits. Phase 2 upgrades an existing 17kW turbine to 50kW capacity. The project aims to repay funding of €170,000 and €115,000 for Phases 1 and 2 respectively within 10 and 7 years. Once connected to the grid, the plant could sell electricity to the national power supplier and generate additional revenue from carbon trading. The document outlines the site's history using hydropower and argues the economic and environmental benefits of the renewable energy
The document provides an overview of recent events and updates from the Enright Ridge Ecovillage neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. It discusses the Zen Center moving in as new neighbors, a workshop on forest gardening techniques led by author Dave Jacke, the ecovillage receiving a grant for constructing three rain gardens, and committee updates from the housing and promotions/marketing task forces. It also announces upcoming community events like an open house at the Zen Center and a chili cook-off.
This document provides a retrospective look at Wellholme Park in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. It discusses the history of the town of Brighouse and the need for public green space as the population grew and industrialized in the 19th century. It describes how early community events were held in Swan Field and other temporary spaces before Camm Park (the grounds of Wellholme House) and Lane Head Recreational Ground were opened to meet the growing need. The document outlines the history and usage of these early public parks and leads to the future development of Wellholme Park on the site of Camm Park to further serve the recreational needs of the community.
Andy Freifeld, Temple University, “Landscape Design and Reuse Planning in Min...Michael Hewitt, GISP
Funding for mine land reclamation is difficult to acquire and, while the environmental benefits of reclamation are fully understood, the economic benefits of reclamation are just beginning to be appreciated. Innovations in landscape design and reuse planning can attract partnerships with lenders and investors and spur the economic development associated with reuse of abandoned mine lands. Strategies like energy development, carbon sequestration, and wetland banking can address environmental concerns, but should also preserve historical and cultural legacies in order to maximize economic gain. These environmental strategies are now being encouraged by State and Federal agencies, while the cultural legacies are more universally overlooked. This presentation will discuss the ways in which environmental design of reclamation projects could benefit both economically and environmentally by the inclusion of preservation and consideration of historical and cultural legacies of the sites, while still utilizing core environmental strategies.
The document summarizes various upcoming community events and news items in Sodus, NY. It announces a paperback book sale from June 19-21 at the Sodus Community Library.

Upper Canada Village, Pioneer life in the 1800. Experience the life and history!Fergus Ducharme
A Canadian pioneer Village depicting live in the late 1860's. It is reproduced using original building saved from destruction by the construction of the St Lawrence Seaway in the late 1950s. The buildings were saved from the so called: 'Lost Villages' that were in fact flooded when the Seaway actually opened.
This document summarizes a history of flash flooding events in Boscastle, Cornwall and surrounding areas in the UK dating back to the 18th century. It notes several major flooding events that caused significant damage, including in 1827, 1847, 1952 and most recently in 2004 when over 1,000 residents and visitors were affected in Boscastle. The 2004 flooding was described as the largest peacetime rescue in British history, with 58 properties flooded and thousands of pounds needed for infrastructure repairs. While views on climate change conflict, the document acknowledges climate is changing and instances of severe storms and floods are expected to increase.
This document provides an overview of the Britannia Mine and community through a series of entries from A to P. It describes how the mine led to acid rock drainage that polluted the local waterways until a treatment plant was built in 2005. It also discusses the bunkhouses where single men lived in close quarters, the company town structure of Britannia Beach, disasters that impacted the community, the ethnic diversity of workers, and the isolation of the community that was reduced by the building of a highway in the late 1950s.
This document provides a summary of the health of the Casperkill watershed in Dutchess County, New York. It finds that the health of the Casperkill has declined over time due to human impacts on the landscape including deforestation, development, dumping, stormwater runoff from parking lots, and degraded water quality. While the stream once supported a diversity of plant and animal life, many species have been lost or replaced. The document concludes that full recovery of the Casperkill is unlikely but efforts should be made to protect remaining natural areas to prevent further degradation.

Castle Combe is a village located in the Cotswolds known as "The Prettiest Village in England." It sits above the site of a former castle from the Roman and Norman periods. In the Middle Ages, the village was an important center for the wool industry, with weavers and spinsters living in cottages along the river. The village houses are all constructed of local stone in the Cotswold style and are hundreds of years old. Castle Combe has been used as a filming location for movies such as "Doctor Doolittle" and protects its natural beauty with conservation rules.

This document provides an overview of the history of industry and manufacturing in the Black Country region of England since 1945. It discusses how the region was an early center of the industrial revolution and played a key role in global industrialization. While many large employers closed in the 1980s-1990s, the area has adapted by developing many industrial estates that now house smaller manufacturing businesses, though this new landscape has not been thoroughly documented. The document also introduces several photographers and artists that have captured the people and changing landscape of the Black Country over the past century.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

The End of Kebroyd Mill
In spite of the planning permission for the “refurbishment” of Kebroyd Mills, including the retention of Dene
Mill and Old Mill and the clock tower, (see below, from 2010), the final structures at Kebroyd Mill were de‐
molished during the week beginning 15th August, severing the gas main, and leaving nothing to connect this
important historical landmark with the future.
Mill Bank once housed more than twice its cur‐
rent population, and many people worked all
their lives at this mill. No‐one seems to know if
the total demolition was approved, but it cer‐
tainly was not communicated to local people if
so. Was the council aware of what happened?
It’s a blow to many who had hoped to see the
original promise of refurbished buildings and
restored woodlands fulfilled. Local people will
also want to be re‐assured about the material
that was hurriedly buried in a huge pit on the
16th August. What was it, and does it pose a health risk to future residents? Write to your councillor if you
are concerned. We will pass on any further information we receive from our enquiries.

opposite —but sees this as needing skilled management to find
a balance of respect for the professionalism and commitment
of teachers, against the partnership benefits from getting par‐

Are small schools a good thing? Whilst admitting that they can
feel a bit claustrophobic at times, she remains a fan of the per‐
sonal attention, freedoms and more relaxed relationships that
small schools permit. But in a small school “the quality of lead‐
ership is really important” is even more important, and “you
must have the right staff” to make it work effectively.
Teachers in primary education in most places are predomi‐
nantly female, and there has been criticism that this has meant
“over feminisation” of education and lack of relevance for
boys: “Yes– under‐achievement amongst boys needs attention.
They need to move around more and explore outside the class‐
room, rather than being asked from a young age to just sit and
learn”. She sees this tendency as an unintended consequence
