The waterfront also has access to the Bike Path, a festival site (host to a number of major events throughout the year), and a two-lane boat launch. A portion of the city’s bike path extends from the Skate Park to the ECHO Center. Parking, vending machines, picnic tables, bleachers and restroom facilities are currently available at the site. The Burlington Skate Park is located on Lake Street, at Waterfront North. This facility offers rails, ramps and boxes for skateboarders, bikers and in-line skaters. Adjoining the skate park to the north is an illuminated in-line hockey rink, which is flooded in the winter for ice- skating. Both the roller rink and the Skate Park were established in 2001 and are in need of replacement. The community recognizes the popularity, consistency of use and value by having the Skatepark implemented in the Waterfront North Redevelopment project. Preliminary studies have been done identifying alternative off-site locations for the roller rink (RecRink) and potential locations include Oakledge Park and Leddy Park. The Waterfront North Redevelopment project consists of improvements to the streetscape, parking, pedestrian/bicycle/transit facilities, storm water management system and the undergrounding of overhead utility lines. It is part of an ongoing effort to improve public infrastructure and reclaim Burlington’s formerly industrial downtown waterfront in a manner that both drives the regional economy and enriches the community’s quality of life. More information on this project can be found through Burlington’s Community

  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin Is a Farm at the Head of the Cleugh of Doon Above Carsluith
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin is a farm at the head of the Cleugh of Doon above Carsluith. There is a Daffin Tree marked on the 1st edition OS map at Killochy in Balmaclellan parish, and Daffin Hill in this location on current OS maps, across the Dee from Kenmure Castle; Castle Daffin is a hill in Parton parish and a house by Auchencairn. This is likely to be Gaelic *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’. Peighinn is ‘a penny’, but in place-names it refers to a unit of land, based on yield rather than area. It probably originated in the Gaelic-Norse context of Argyll and the southern Hebrides, and was introduced into the south-west by the Gall- Ghàidheil (see Ardwell above). It occurs in place-names in Galloway and, especially, Carrick as ‘Pin- ‘ as first element, ‘-fin’ with ‘softened ‘ph’ after a numeral or other pre-positioned adjective. Originally a pennyland was a relatively small division of a davoch (dabhach, see Cullendoch above), but in the south-west places whose names contain this element appear in mediaeval records as holdings of relatively substantial landowners, comprising good extents of pasture, meadow and woodland as well as the arable core, and yielding much higher taxes than the pennylands further north. Indeed, peighinn may have come to be used more generally in the region for a fairly substantial estate without implying a specific valuation. *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’ would, then, have been a large and productive landholding. However, a Scots origin is also possible, or if the origin was Gaelic, reinterpretation by Scots speakers is possible: daffin or daffen is a Scots word for ‘daffodil’, but as a verb, daffin(g) is ‘playing daft, larking about’.

  • Gloucestershire Castles
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle Gloucestershire Castles The first castles in Gloucestershire were built soon after the Norman invasion of 1066. After the Battle of Hastings, the Normans had an urgent need to consolidate the land they had conquered and at the same time provide a secure political and military base to control the country. Castles were an ideal way to do this as not only did they secure newly won lands in military terms (acting as bases for troops and supply bases), they also served as a visible reminder to the local population of the ever-present power and threat of force of their new overlords. Early castles were usually one of three types; a ringwork, a motte or a motte & bailey; A Ringwork was a simple oval or circular earthwork formed of a ditch and bank. A motte was an artificially raised earthwork (made by piling up turf and soil) with a flat top on which was built a wooden tower or ‘keep’ and a protective palisade. A motte & bailey was a combination of a motte with a bailey or walled enclosure that usually but not always enclosed the motte. The keep was the strongest and securest part of a castle and was usually the main place of residence of the lord of the castle, although this changed over time. The name has a complex origin and stems from the Middle English term ‘kype’, meaning basket or cask, after the structure of the early keeps (which resembled tubes). The name ‘keep’ was only used from the 1500s onwards and the contemporary medieval term was ‘donjon’ (an apparent French corruption of the Latin dominarium) although turris, turris castri or magna turris (tower, castle tower and great tower respectively) were also used.

We completed a total interior renovation of our building at Fort Ethan Allen. This brought out the best in this beautiful and historic structure, and allowed us to stand poised for growth over the next 46 years. As executive director, I feel a strong commitment to both our past and our future. CCS is a unique and special place, founded and developed by families. While we've grown and branched out over the years, we've maintained our ability to provide personal and creative services. Having been a part of CCS for more than nine years, my primary goals are: to help ensure our agency continues the wonderful work of providing valuable employment, community, and residential options to the people we serve; to maintain our strong sense of community; and to develop, train, and sustain our staff so we’ll continue to deliver the highest quality, family-oriented supports in the state. CCS, while small, is part of something bigger, and I also recognize an important role for us in the community. We have a responsibility to mentor our community about the real value of the people we serve.
