Enjoy the professional show at Innsbrook this year, but please, no personal fireworks. 3 Dear F-O-Fs (Friends-of-Fireworks), This year marks the 41st year of the fireworks extravaganza at Innsbrook ... well, kind of. The show never had an official start date ... it had an evolution. It all began when we started building Innsbrook in 1971. As most of you know, all of our utilities are buried, and in the beginning we did all of the work ourselves, with the help of many, many cases of dynamite to get through the rock. Since the world was more secure in those days, we had all this extra dynamite around and we began to use the stuff as fireworks on special occasions (we defined a “special occasion” as anytime we wanted to play with dynamite). As I recall, one Fourth of July we had bought a bunch of fireworks at the local stand and we went up to Lake Lucern Dam to set them off. As an afterthought, we took along a couple of sticks of dynamite for the finale. Our “crowd” of probably 25 aficionados thought the whole thing worthwhile and fun … and that began the gestation process of what is now our signature event of the year. We haven’t used dynamite in the show in more than 20 years, and although I miss the extra “kick” of the cannon shots in the 1812 Overture, I don’t miss the blistering headaches we all got from handling the stuff. (The nitroglycerine in dynamite gets on your hands and skin then into the bloodstream where it dilates your blood vessels causing one awful headache.) We have gone from a do-it-yourself show to a full “blown” production with a budget not equaled for a private show in the state, and come to think of it, not equaled by any public show in this region also. This show would not be possible without your support, as it is 100% financed by donations, advertisements and contributions of time, materials, and goods. This show is symbolic of the “can do” Innsbrook Community Spirit … of which we are all proud to be a part. Enjoy the show!

Who started such a tradition? Who even came up with fireworks to begin with? Fireworks originated in China some 2,000 years ago. The most prevalent legend has it that fireworks were discovered or invented by accident by a Chinese cook working in a field kitchen who happened to mix charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter (all commonly found in the kitchen in those days). The mixture burned and when compressed in an enclosure (a bamboo tube), the mixture exploded. A Chinese monk named Li Tian, who lived near the city of Liu Yang in Hunan Province, is credited with the invention of firecrackers about 1,000 years ago. The Chinese people celebrate the invention of the firecracker every April 18th by offering sacrifices to Li Tian.

  • Higher Barn Farm
    Higher Barn Farm The Farm is 19.41 Acres and 7.8 hectares set on a north facing field with magnificent views towards the Quantock Hills, Exmoor and the Welsh Brecon Beacon. The soil is silty clay loam, with almost 5% organic matter and a high level of Microbial activity. It is made up of two fields. The small farm has been farmed industrially for cereal crops via contractors for some years. The farm is just inside the Exmoor National Park area. Cerys, Amer, Bob and Anne are living there as an extended multi generational family with the two children Olive and Oak, and two further brothers and their families that might join in the project. The overall aim of the farm is to create a place where the whole family can live sustainably, where the children can be raised to learn about food and crafts. Whilst the aim is not to be 100% self sufficient the family would like to primarily provide for themselves and then sell surplus, and added value food like bread, and run courses to generate an income. This report and drawing is to suggest how the farm can be developed and managed to create a sustainable and abundant home, and livelihood for the family and for many other creatures. The Functions of the Farm have been identified as; To produce food To produce craft materials To produce fuel crops To be a learning centre for Ecology and regenerative agriculture and “Field to Fork courses” To generate income To provide a safe space for the family To support biodiversity To sequester carbon and be resilient in the face of climate change For play and recreation of the whole family THE SOIL The soil is a silty clay loam, with almost 5% organic matter.

  • Jack Clemo 1916-55: the Rise and Fall of the 'Clay Phoenix'
    1 Jack Clemo 1916-55: The Rise and Fall of the ‘Clay Phoenix’ Submitted by Luke Thompson to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English In September 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract Jack Clemo was a poet, novelist, autobiographer, short story writer and Christian witness, whose life spanned much of the twentieth century (1916- 1994). He composed some of the most extraordinary landscape poetry of the twentieth century, much of it set in his native China Clay mining region around St Austell in Cornwall, where he lived for the majority of his life. Clemo’s upbringing was one of privation and poverty and he was famously deaf and blind for much of his adult life. In spite of Clemo’s popularity as a poet, there has been very little written about him, and his confessional self-interpretation in his autobiographical works has remained unchallenged. This thesis looks at Clemo’s life and writing until the mid-1950s, holding the vast, newly available and (to date) unstudied archive of manuscripts up against the published material and exploring the contrary narratives of progressive disease and literary development and success.

Norse shielings in Scotland: An interdisciplinary study of setr/sætr and ærgi-names Ryan Foster Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2018 Abstract This is a study of the Old Norse (hereafter abbreviated to ON) setr/sætr and ærgi place-names in areas of Scandinavian settlement in Scotland. The elements setr/sætr and ærgi all have a general meaning of a place for summer grazing in the hills, referred to in Scotland as a shieling. However, the related terms setr and sætr, are employed as shielings names in Norway and are indistinguishable from each other in Britain. It is only in areas of Scandinavian settlement in Britain and the Faroes that ærgi is found to signify a shieling site.

The building is presently unoccupied and is about to be demolished. 1.2 The building recording was carried out on 21st March 2017 in accordance with a Level 1 survey as detailed in the English Heritage publication ‘Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice’ (2016).

This is essentially a visual record. Historic England guidelines suggest that written information should be the minimum to identify the building’s location, age, type, materials, use and when and whom compiled the report. General photographs of the exterior as well as any specific architectural or historic features (both internal and external) should be taken. 1.3 In summary the work consists of a basic descriptive report accompanied by digital photographs.

  • Calum Mor's House, Hirta, St Kilda Conservation Statement
    Calum Mor’s House, Hirta, St Kilda Conservation Statement G Geddes November 2011 v21 (Final) Abstract This research document supports and informs the future management of Calum Mor’s House for the period of the next Management Agreement (to 2016) and beyond. First noted by Sands in the 1870s, the building was then associated with a story of a strong man, a character given the name Calum in the 20th century. The first photograph dates from 1896 and the first plan from 1927, and a number of surveys and descriptions undertaken through the years result in a comprehensive record. Large scale conservation works were undertaken in 1957 and 1973 and it is likely that smaller repairs have been made throughout the period since re-occupation. Long thought of as prehistoric by enthusiastic commentators, the building is certainly pre-improvement and it could well be some form of permanent or temporary accommodation from the late medieval period. Roofed in a distinctive style and relatively unaltered, it is a building of national importance. The best comparisons for the structure lie in the shieling architecture of the Outer Hebrides, buildings that the later medieval Gaelic community of St Kilda would have been well aware of. After describing the building in detail, including a thorough analysis of previous descriptions and comparative material, there follows an assessment of significance. In an attempt to clarify the importance of the building in an international context, this is set out according to the broad criteria set out in the Burra Charter and Scottish Historic Environment Policy, accepting of course that much lies in the eye of the beholder and that study, examination and, in this case, context, adds greatly to the importance the building.
