We sincerely appreciate your input including all the additional suggestions and useful information. Recently our dedicated "mail" lady, Vivianne T. Bradley, who has folded, sealed, attached mailing labels, sorted and bundled by Zip codes, etc., has informed us she will be resigning from that job early in 2011. Viv has performed this chore for nine years in addition to serving CAHS as 2nd VP and then President. Other demands on her time make it necessary for her to give this up this volunteer job. We thank her for her dedication. There are many things to research and consider in arriving at decisions regarding any and all The 2010 Gorsedd was held in St. Ives on Saturday, changes.

Very special for me was a weekend spent with cousins - descendants of my great grandmother's brother. A won- derful time of fellowship and 'reunion'. Liz Broekman had arranged with members of the London Cornish Association to meet with me for an early evening meal and conversation before my flight back to the States. We met at a London restaurant run by a fellow with roots in St. Ives and had a pleasant time over an excellent meal. Nice to see Catherine and Don Foster who are 'old' friends after several occasions when we've met in Cornwall and it was nice to finally meet Liz and other members whom I've only read about in the newslet- ters. After the Flower Dance and the offering of the Fruits of Upon return to Wisconsin, I addressed the Celtic Women the Earth by the Lady of Cornwall, the Deputy Grand International group of the Sheboygan area to talk about Bard read out the names of the deceased Bards.

Former Mayor Charman who championed the idea of Twinning signed the proclamation which had been formally adopted during her tenure. The two towns have a great deal in common. David Oates, a member of the Holman-Climax Male Voice Choir, remarked on their similarities during the Choir‟s 2001 visit to the Ke- weenaw. Both places have experienced the boom and bust cycles of many mining communities. Mining ceased in Calu- met in 1968 and in Camborne in 1998. Each community has struggled to develop a new identity and to remain an attrac- tive place to live. Both face the challenges of preserving heritage. Calumet is home to the Keweenaw National His- torical Park, charged with telling the story of a copper mining community; Camborne is part of the World Heritage Site They‟re not identical—Camborne is a lot larger than Calumet—but they certainly could be fraternal twins. Both hope to further their relationship through visits and other exchanges. Village President Tony Bausano will add his signature to the proclamation on October 18 at the Village Council meeting. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Book Review THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL By E. V. Thompson I just finished this book and loved it! I‟ve read a number of Thompson‟s books and enjoyed them immensely, especially the Retallick series which offered such detailed descriptions of the lives of the miners in the 1850s- 70s. They increased my respect for our miner ancestors. But this book, published in 2007, is a mystery set in the 1850s. It centered on miners and smugglers and is a very well-told tale, one that keeps you wondering and wanting to read on. It‟s hard to put down, but I fin- ished it with regret. The upside is, I think he will take the main characters and write more about them. The hero is Amos Hawke, a Cornishman living in London and working as a detective for Scotland Yard. He is sent to Cornwall to work on a series of murders. I like the way Thompson, a Bard, develops his characters and weaves the mystery while dropping clues for the reader. Delightful book and one that vividly describes several parts of Cornwall so you can see where your ancestors roamed. Now I‟m waiting for the mailman to deliver Churchyard and Hawke which may be a sequel or, better yet, the continuation of a new series. Anyway, I recommend them to those who like reading about Cornwall and mysteries. By Nancy Heydt taken from the Cornish Crier Newsletter 58 CORRESPONDENCE FROM SOCIETIES, daughter, Edwina.

Compliance was assessed at all sites against the quality criterion for each determinand relevant to the River Water Quality Objective (RQO) of that site. The criterion are shown in Table 1. A dashed line in the schedule indicates no samples failed to comply. This report should be read in conjunction with Water Quality Technical note FWS/93/005, entitled: River Water Quality 1991, Classification by Determinand? where for each site the classification for each individual determinand is given, together with relevant statistics.

    Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 32 Issue 3 Fall 2014 Cornish American Heritage Society Cornish American Heritage 48 Presidents’ Messages I can't believe the excitement of the 17th Gathering is over! It has been a whirlwind and a great success. The Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee pulled it off well, if I do say so myself. Thanks to all the great presenters and Cornish Cous- ins who really made it a family reunion. It was a pleasure meeting many names I had only read before. I am so happy that Kathryn Herman has agreed to take over as president. After two years of working with her on the plan- ning committee, I know she is a woman of great organization and imagination. Her knowledge of Cornwall and connec- tions there will give the CAHS a direction I couldn't give. I will be happy to continue serving as an officer (historian), so I can work on projects for the Society. As I hand over the role of president to Kathryn, I will be finishing up some things started at the Gathering. (And Kathryn deserves to catch her breath!) Our business meeting was cut short. Ultimately that may be an advantage, since some questions might be better addressed via e-mails with the participants, rather than a hurried discussion we would have had there. If any of the CAHS members not present at the Gathering would like to be included in the discussion, please write me. Again, thanks to all for the great Gathering! It is now a matter of continuing the energy we had in Milwaukee.

  • Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape
    1 Executive Summary Bodmin Moor is a special place. Amongst the many environmental designations ranging from the international to the local, Bodmin Moor forms part of an Area of Outstanding Beauty. This means it benefits from the same planning status and protection as English National Parks. Visitors are already drawn to the dramatic panoramas, varied wildlife and intriguing history, with those already in the know also appreciating and learning about the stars in the exceptionally dark night sky. Caradon Observatory readings taken in and around Bodmin Moor quantify the remarkable quality of the sky’s darkness and correspond with the findings of the Campaign to Protect Rural England Night Blight study. The results show that even around the villages there are impressive views of the night sky. There is considerable support from the public and stakeholder organisations for the establishment of Bodmin Moor as an International Dark Sky Landscape with “Park” status. Feedback from residents, businesses, landowners, farmers, astronomers, educators, environmental bodies and other statutory and charitable organisations has helped shape the proposals. Enthusiasm is such that there have already been calls to widen the buffer zone if the designation is successful. The alternative title for the designation stems from local feedback and reflects the AONB status. Bodmin Moor comprises a varied moorland landscape with a few small villages and hamlets so there is very little artificial light. Nevertheless, steps have been taken and are continuing to be made to reduce light pollution, particularly from streets. This means that the vast majority of lighting is sensitive to the dark night sky and is becoming even more sympathetic.
