“You can do anything you want!” I can’t recall the number of times I’ve heard those words in the context of some well-meaning adult encouraging some young person to tackle the next challenge in their lives. Everybody is on a quest (or encouraged to be on a quest) to do something…wait for it…AWESOME!
By the way…may I just mention that the overuse of the word, “awesome,” hurts my head? I know that “awesome” is giving way to “epic” (how many “awesomes” does it take to make an “epic” anyway?), but still…awesome? Seriously (which is also getting way too much play)…few things are genuinely awe-inspiring and I have not heard much recently that deserves the term…a Red Sox World Series win…maybe. Or a child coming to faith in Christ.
But still it keeps happening…most high school or college or kindergarten graduation ceremonies are marked by someone in the room saying that the students can do anything they want; they can be anything they want. They can scour the stars and boldly go where no one has gone before. They can invent the next must need, over-priced electro-gadget. They can solve all the world’s ills. They can be President of the United States.
But again, back at the ranch…is it really the case that everybody can be anything? Does everyone have the potential to hit life’s grand slams? I think not. And I think it’s a mistake to try to make people believe that. That is, I believe, faux encouragement…and an impediment to helping people see genuine potential. I think it’s more important to help people (particularly young people) see that they can find and know God’s purpose for their lives and cooperate with Him in making their way toward that. In our “Everybody Gets a Trophy” world, we delude ourselves (and our progeny…but just for a moment because they eventually catch on) by insisting that there is an unlimited path toward societal definitions of success–that everybody is equally capable of climbing the highest mountain…of dreaming the impossible dream.
By now you have likely decided that I am some curmudgeon whose mission is to dampen the spirits of anyone who comes my way. Perhaps. But I think more realistically that we, Christian parents, grandparents, leaders, and teachers, do our young charges a disservice when we direct them toward unrealistic (and unbiblical) ideas about success. We better serve them, I think, when we encourage them to find and pursue God’s purpose for their lives. Encouragement along those lines aligns with God’s intention for parents and grandparents and other influential adults in young people’s lives.
In case you’re wondering…vocationally…I have had a reasonably successful military career; I have been blessed to be a local church pastor, a Christian and secular college faculty member, a seminary adjunct professor, and a health care administrator. Things have been just fine…though along the way I have hurt people and strayed from my purpose. I have messed up and been brought back by God into His gracious presence. But I am not the President of the United States–that was Unpotential Realized. That was not God’s purpose for me; He had other things in mind. And, smack in the middle of God’s purpose, genuine potential is realized.
Paul, speaking primarily here about material needs, makes, I think, a larger point about potential: we should be content to find and know God’s purpose for our lives and rest in that. Someone will be President; someone will scour the stars; someone will be invent the world’s next must need, over-priced electro-gadget. But not everyone. And more importantly many, given the right encouragement, might find and know God’s wondrous (though perhaps not presidential) purpose for their lives.

WASHINGTON, DC – The United States, Mexico and Canada have concluded negotiations on a trade agreement to replace NAFTA. The text of the deal, now referred to as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, was released by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative last night.
“The U.S. textile industry is pleased the United States, Mexico and Canada have reached an agreement because Canada and Mexico are its largest trading partners,” said National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) President & CEO Auggie Tantillo as he noted that products from the textile and apparel supply chain accounted for nearly $12 billion in U.S. exports to Canada and Mexico in 2017.
“Unlike the original NAFTA, the new agreement includes a separate textile and apparel chapter. This outcome is a tangible recognition by all three parties of the importance of textile manufacturing to the regional economy,” Tantillo added as he explained that NCTO would not be making any further comment with respect to the deal until the substance of the agreement could be carefully analyzed by NCTO.
NCTO is a Washington, DC-based trade association that represents domestic textile manufacturers, including artificial and synthetic filament and fiber producers.
· U.S. employment in the textile supply chain was 550,500 in 2017.
· The value of shipments for U.S. textiles and apparel was $77.9 billion in 2017.
· U.S. exports of fiber, textiles and apparel were $28.6 billion in 2017.
· Capital expenditures for textile and apparel production totaled $2.4 billion in 2016, the last year for which data is available.

Plants can get diseases, or illnesses, just as animals do. People worry mainly about the diseases that affect crop plants. Crop diseases can cause great losses of food and money.
Like animal diseases, plant diseases may be divided into two groups: infectious diseases and noninfectious diseases. Some botanists, or scientists who study plants, find ways to treat plant diseases.
Infectious diseases can spread from one plant to another. These diseases are caused by particles called viruses and tiny living things—mycoplasmas, bacteria, fungi, and worms. Plants that live on or inside other plants may also cause disease.
A virus that enters a plant cell causes the cell to produce more viruses. Often the cell dies. Some signs that a plant has a virus are leaves that have changed color or that have become blotchy, stems or leaves that grow in an unusual way, or dead spots on the plant.
Tiny living things called mycoplasmas and bacteria affect many crop plants. They cause damage by releasing toxic chemicals in plants or by digesting plant tissue. They are carried from one plant to another by insects, by the wind, or by farm machinery. They usually enter a plant through its damaged parts.
Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, such as rusts, smuts, and mildews. Fungi that get their food from living plants and animals are called parasites. Parasitic fungi often sicken or kill the plants they attack. They put chemicals called enzymes into the plant on which they grow. These enzymes digest the plant matter, which is then absorbed by the fungi. A fungus that attacks potato plants destroyed potato crops in Ireland in the mid-1800s. This led to the Irish Potato Famine.
Many tiny animals called nematodes, or roundworms, live in soil. They get food by sucking plant root cells. They are responsible for root knot and other root diseases.
Plants that are parasites, or that live on or inside other plants, may harm their host plants. The parasite called witchweed is a small plant that attaches to the roots of corn, sorghum, rice, and sugarcane plants. It interferes with plant growth.
Noninfectious diseases cannot be spread from one plant to another. However, these diseases are a major cause of poor health in plants. They are often caused by conditions in the environment. Minerals in the soil, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, or iron, are important for plant growth. If there are not enough minerals in the soil, plant growth can slow down. Plants may also have yellow or poorly formed leaves. Too much water can also be a problem for plants. Extra water lowers the amount of oxygen in the soil, which causes poor root growth. Plants may also become diseased when the acid level of the soil is too high or too low.
Harmful chemicals like pesticides may slow plant growth. Air pollution may also cause poor health in plants. Chemicals from car exhaust and smoke can mix with rainwater to make acid rain. Acid rain causes crop plants and forest trees to become diseased and sometimes die.
The simplest approach to controlling plant disease is to keep whatever causes a disease away from plants. Certain types of crop plants and fruits are not allowed across the borders of many countries because they may carry diseases.
When many plants have a disease, the main approach for getting rid of the disease is to get rid of the diseased plants. A farmer may decide to replace a diseased crop with another type of crop plant. Other times cutting off the diseased part of the plant will get rid of disease. Growing several crop plants together may also limit the spread of infectious diseases.
Some plants may carry one or more viruses and show no symptoms.

Original and insightful, this volume, giving in-depth consideration to the key issues affecting the future of market towns, provides readers with a framework for evaluating policy initiatives and progress in market towns. Through a detailed analysis of the characteristics of over 200 towns and in-depth studies of eleven towns in different parts of England, the authors identify and explore a number of key roles for market towns. Such as: retirement towns commuter towns employment centres service centres tourist towns. Setting the results in the context of past and current policy, they consider in more detail some of the critical issues, including increased personal mobility, aging populations, housing growth and affordability, employment and retail competitiveness. Drawing on this detailed case study material, a final section explores the future role of market towns as sustainable communities and how they might best assure their futures. Addressing issues which have not yet been covered in contemporary planning literature, this comprehensive volume provides a wide-ranging discussion that will appeal to those involved at all levels of practice related to market towns as well as to academics and students working in both rural and urban geography and planning.
Despite an EU-wide commitment to rural development, research has rarely focused on the lives of young people in rural areas, their experiences in education and employment, their perceptions of policies relevant to them, and their possibilities of participation. Based on a two-year European research project on policies and young people in rural development, this edited volume examines these issues and considers young people's experiences of rural life in Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal and Scotland. The volume is organized thematically with each chapter addressing a specific topic in one or more countries. These topics comprise: the attractiveness of rural areas to young people; the impact of programmes under the European Employment Guidelines; rural youth in local community development and partnerships; rural development programmes and their impact on youth integration; the role of social networks; and the transition from education to employment. A number of implications for policy and practice are drawn out in conclusion. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the future of rural areas and with those who live in the European countryside.
Intends to significantly extend previous research work on the rural impacts of national welfare reform and position it in a broader context. This title provides a comprehensive and comparative account of the rural dimensions of welfare in a number of developed countries.
The fact that approximately one-third of the world's land mass is arid desert may be congenial for the camel and the cactus, but not for people. Nevertheless, well over half a billion people, or 15% of the world's population live in arid desert areas. If the world's population were distributed evenly over the land surface, we would expect to find about 30% of the population inhabiting arid desert areas. Does the fact that 'only' 15% of the world's population live in an arid desert environment reflect the harshness of the environment? Or is it a testimony to the adaptability and ingenuity of mankind? Do we view the glass as half-full? Or half-empty? The contributors to Desert Development: Man and Technology in Sparselands adopt the position that the cup is half-full and, in fact, could be filled much more. Indeed, many arid desert zones do thrive with life, and given appropriate technological develop ment, such areas could support even greater popUlations. While the dire Malthusian prediction that rapid world population growth exceeds the carrying capacity of existent resource systems has gained popularity (typified by the 1972 Club of Rome book, Limits to Growth), there is a growing body of serious work which rejects such pessimistic 'depletion' models, in favor of models which are mildly optimistic.

A team of Egyptian ladies collect at a deserted park in a Cairo residential area as soon as a week, climbing up wall surfaces and also leaping about in the laborious physical technique referred to as Parkour, while likewise testing the nation’s conventional social standards.
Established In France in the 1980 s as the Art du Deplacement and also later on taking its name from the French word ‘parcours’ (program or course), Parkour includes running, climbing up and also leaping acrobatically around structures and also over surface.
The ladies have actually educated each week for the previous 6 months with the ultimate purpose of developing the very first expert Parkour group in Egypt.
10 ladies participated in last Friday’s training, which concentrated on structure top body toughness and also various techniques of taking care of environments.
Interested groups, accustomed to ladies taking a reduced account in Egypt, typically gather together to enjoy the training, in some cases taking images and also shooting. Yet the ladies maintain the training unrestricted, firmly insisting that no sporting activity is unique for males.
” It is all-natural that individuals did decline it since they were not utilized to it,” claimed Zayneb Helal, among the gamers.
” They did decline the suggestion that women might play sporting activities, not to mention on the road,” she included.
It is unusual for ladies to play such sporting activities on the roads in Egypt. A 2017 Thomson Reuters Structure study of professionals on exactly how ladies got on in huge cities ranked Cairo as the globe’s most unsafe megacity for ladies, while London appeared as finest.
Directed by trainer Mohamed Omran, ladies educate hard on climbing up challenges, touchdown appropriately after dives and also seeing possibilities in structures around them.
” Females are currently educating and also much more ladies are beginning to come,” Omran claimed. “As the sporting activity spreads out the approval of ladies educating boosts and also it is not uncommon for ladies to have a group and also train,” he included.
Parkour is played by males in Egypt however the sporting activity is ignored and also has no regulative body. Parkour Egypt, a team that makes up males and females, has actually expanded greatly after starting with a handful of gamers.
In 2015 Britain ended up being the very first nation formally to identify Parkour as a sporting activity.
” It requires even more time to develop and also the sporting activity has to spread out that individuals would certainly discover it,” Helal claimed.

A Dunedin barrister has that the sentence given to Nikolas Delegat for assaulting a police officer was ”entirely consistent” for the type of offence.
…if Delegat had been from the ”other end of the socio-economic scale”, the sentence would have included jail time, or something closer to it.
A ”high-powered lawyer” could help someone get a lighter sentence, he said.
The sentence had caused ”general disquiet” among some police officers in Dunedin, especially given the severity of injuries sustained by Const Kane.
However, Judge Kevin Phillips needed to be commended for resisting the ”considerable pressure” to grant name suppression and discharge without conviction, Mr O’Connor said.
…the claim Delegat had bought justice was ”outrageous”.
She had been a lawyer for 29 years and the sentence was ”entirely consistent” for the type of offence, committed by someone with no previous convictions and otherwise good character, and who had pleaded guilty.
The conviction was a ”serious outcome”, Mrs Stevens said.
The sentence had nothing to do with Delegat’s choice of lawyer, she said.
Judges take many things into account when sentencing and they know much more than the average public pundit. I think this case would have been very carefully considered by Judge Phillips given that Delegat was represented by an out of town lawyer (from Auckland).
This sentence may or may not be tested under appeal.
But it’s probably too late to appeal for reasoned and well informed discussion of this case.
EU divisions appear to be deepening.
Minister for Women or activist?
The victim was in hospital for 15 days and off work for two months.
If Paul Henry’s poll is any indication of wider feelings about the inadequacy of Delegat’s sentencing then over 90% of Kiwis agree that the judge let him off lightly.
99% of Kiwis would not have seen anywhere near all the information available to the sentencing judge, nor will most of them have any idea about sentencing guidelines and precedents.
Well said, PG. Given the profile of the case I can’t see the judge being anything but diligent in following the rules.
What reason-unless the judge was being offered a massive bribe to make it worth their while, which isn’t impossible but is so unlikely as to be not worth considering-would they have to ‘let someone off lightly’ ? I can’t think of one. If the judge was a relation or family friend, they wouldn’t have been trying the case in the first place.
It does seem that the reaction is one of envy, not rationality.
These are unlikely speculations-how on earth do you imagine that anyone like that would manage to stay in the position ?
Unconscious racism ? Irrelevant, unless ND had a brown friend being charged with him who had a much more severe sentence for the same offence. I can’t imagine racists being so ‘unconsciously’-look at Paul Henry.
Colonialism ? In the 21st century ?
A judge is hardly likely to be swayed by stereotypes.to that extent. It would soon show up.
Clarification – should have used the word imprisonment instead of incarceration.
Interesting that no one has put up a Māori boy with a similar record and a similar assault who has been sent to prison.
Instead we get the race card be played .
There are glaring inconsistencies in these sentences.
And now for something completely different, this guy was jailed for 4 months for poaching 10 trout.
It’s impossible to compare unlike cases with each other.
Starter for ten means a question that will gain ten marks if its answered correctly.
And thank you for your wee pearl of wisdom regarding a starter for ten. Whatever would we do without you? However would we cope?
The world ain’t fair Joe, Sensible Maori understand they are handicapped at the start line. But they compensate and have no problem completing the race.
Really ? I don’t agree with you. Crime is never all right.
The police don’t think that it is, either, and nor does the justice system. I am surprised that you would say this, it goes against your other comments.
Here’s a case of unprovoked assault that resulted in death but ended with a sentence of less than five years.
The whole sentencing regime is very unsatisfactory.
Well Joe I have read those and no they don’t give me a Māori student with a clean sheet being sent to prison.
What they seem to show is young brown men jump from minor trouble to prison more easy than white men.
Probably more to do with income and class than colour from what I have seen in the justice system.
There was a young brown man in Hamilton a few years ago who had a massive amount in fines that he was really struggling to pay back as a young family man. It seemed like the burden of Sisyphus. A judge had said that if he didn’t have so much as a parking ticket for I forget how long, but quite a while, the fines would be wiped. There was the young man on the front page, ecstatic that he had had this chance and taken it-and retrieved his life.
You really are pathetic, Nelly. He was a young brown man, I can’t remember now if he was Maori or Pasifika, hence the word brown.The point of the story (spell it out in words of one syllable) was that being a MAN with a BROWN SKIn does not mean that the man will not be given (oops, two syllables) a fair go. Oh, forget it.
You seem to be confused-this is not a knitting circle. Do such things even exist now ? You would know, I suppose.
The burden referred to is a stone that the unlucky man had to roll uphill eternally, It’s a story from the classics, known to anyone with a reasonable education. Hence, not you.
This was a hot topic at the smoko table today. Interestingly enough, one of the boys was sentenced to 400 hours of community work for an alcohol related offence a few years back. His crime? High end drink driving (and not the first time). Didn’t hit or hurt anyone (although he obviously could have). Mind you, he doesn’t have a rich dad….
It interests me how some commenters (not just here) are ‘baying for blood’, and saying he should be imprisoned. Look at the guy. He wouldn’t last 5 minutes inside. He has even volunteered to help police educate students on the dangers of overindulging. He can’t undo what he did, but maybe he can prevent someone else doing it.
You are right… the bros would waste him shortly after his induction. That’s why they have protected wings. He should be in there. The trouble is, those urges that made him bash a cop, won’t be extinguished by community service. Even in a protected wing, he would still be stomped a couple of times…or opened up by a vicious child molester. That would make him think twice once he was released. In fact, I would go as far to say, jail would be the making of this boy.
Getting beaten up by someone bigger than him isn’t going to help him with any anger issues he may have, and it certainly won’t undo what he did.
No, but it’ll burst his bubble about how the world is, and how alien other groups in society think and act. He will learn to survive, think as others do, and understand social situations way better. In fact he may have trouble intergarting with his peers once he’s released. He may even hold them in contempt.
Or he might just kill himself after a week. What a great result that would be, aye Corky? That’ll fix the cop’s head injury….
They have suicide watch. Don’t be emotional. I know for a fact planting trees won’t fix the cops injuries. In fact, I would hazard a guess this boy will be in trouble again over the coming years.
There are two types of rich kid. Arrogant and Non arrogant. The non arrogant realise there’s no need for arrogance because they have money and power. That gives them a warm fuzzy feeling. Why kick the bulldogge and get bitten?Just buy it off. The arrogant believe they rule the world, and little people need to know this. Our friend, in my opinion, is in that group. Hence, why I believe he should be in jail. So he learns that for a successful life, he will ironically rely to some degree on little people. Best he learns how they think….and dream.
Well pardon me Corky, I didn’t realize you had a degree in psychology, or that you knew the family personally.
of course,there are exceptions.In a society of winners and losers ,the ‘winners’ have perfected the art of outwardly,being caring,sincere people who just want to ‘help’ others and have the church attendance…to prove…it.

Bookmarks are vital for regular Internet users. Many of us build a massive collection of favorite Internet addresses over the years, as we keep finding useful pages to return to. When reading a book, most of us are unable to remember where we left off each time we pick it up. So imagine the frustration and the challenge in finding your favorite pages without the help of bookmarks! Even though they are not as visible as, for instance, backgrounds, images, themes, or gadgets, bookmarks build perhaps the most accurate digital replica of our personalities.
So you have an impressive amount of bookmarks saved in your browser, neatly structured in folders, that you use daily. They work just great, and help you a lot in your work, study, or fun.
But what if you want to, or need to use them in another browser, or on another computer? Or on a tablet, laptop, or smartphone, so that you are not bound to a single home computer? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to turn your bookmarks into portable bookmarks, or cross-web, cross-device entities? However, most browsers save bookmarks in formats that are not compatible with other browsers. For instance, Internet Explorer saves pages as URL files and Mozzilla Firefox saves them as SQLite files.
HTMtied has the remedy for that problem. It has the “elixir” that reincarnates any Internet address (link, URL, bookmark, favorite) to a very small HTML file that you can open in any browser, on any device, with any operating system! Your treasured bookmarks are set free, at last, and are ready to cross borders!

Mozambique and Zimbabwe: status update for cyclone Idai.
Following yesterday’s cyclone Idai article, Tourism Update has received updates from ground operators in both Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
Bernie Cragg, Director of Far and Wide Zimbabwe, said strong winds gusting to in excess of 100km/h, and torrential rain pounded the skywalk relentlessly from Thursday night through Friday and into Saturday, causing superficial damage to some of the boards on the longer of the two cable suspended bridges. “The shorter 37m bridge as well as the skyline (Zipline) were unaffected. We are happy to announce that we have since replaced the boards and will reopen the activities to members of the public on Friday, March 22.
There is hardly any communication with Beira – erratic at best, mainly by SMS; and Movitel works in some suburbs.
Power lines are down so there is no power – hence even with limited cellphone reception, charging phones is not possible.
Beira is littered with debris and glass.
Although the city is really damaged, local residents have begun cleaning up the debris – the problem is in the surrounding areas which are mostly under water.
Half of the Hotel Tivoli Beira is operating and it is hosting residents and journalists. They have a borehole so they have water and limited food supplies.
Most roofs were blown off.
Help is on the way from the International Federation of the Red Cross, the EU, Portuguese Embassy and medical rescue teams, some of which are already on the ground.
Air access has been restored, however there is damage to the control tower and runway lights. Small aircraft were severely damaged in the hangar.
Tourism Update has created a map of affected lodges and areas. If your facility or product has been affected, please let us know so that we can add it to our TU Cyclone Idai Map.

Community Law Otago is offers free legal education talks as part of our legal education initiative. This programme has been operating in Otago for the past 30 years, with the aim of providing practical and accessible information on everyday legal issues to the Otago community.
Access to legal advice and information is a good start to ensuring people have the legal knowledge they need before problems arise. A lack of legal knowledge has been an ongoing barrier to people in the community attempting to resolve legal disputes in satisfactory ways since laws began.
Community legal education empowers people by providing straight up no frills plain English legally correct information about the law. Law Professor Google has a lot of information, but not always the answers!
Our talks are tailored to meet the requirements of your group, ensuring interest and relevancy. In the past we have talked to various community service providers (employees, volunteers, and clients), schools, training centres, as well as offering public talks and seminars on recent law changes. We cover topics such as tenancy, employment rights and disputes, family issues, consumer rights, privacy, police powers, and the legal system in New Zealand.
Our talks are usually given by volunteer senior law students from Otago University. They are informal and interactive with an emphasis on group discussion. The length of our talks are flexible, though they generally last one hour.
If you wish to book an education talk email us at legaledu@dclc.org.nz or telephone (03) 474 1922.

At the recent Urban Design Forum, my short talk was about a big word – ‘culture’ – and thinking small in order to foster it. It is a story, as my title suggests, about three red gum benches.
We know we can have an emotional or deep seated cultural attachment to things in the public realm, to place, to art, to artefacts. Big places like Time Square in New York, The Left Bank in Paris or, in the scale of things, small elements like ‘The Clocks’ at Flinders Street Station in Melbourne.
Contemporary urban design practice is often what I call a dis-cultural phenomenon – it does not recognise local cultural values nor public artefacts, does not take the time to assess what it is that has made a place that is to be modified or re-designed, a unique place. Yes I know this is taught, but you only need to compare one or two hundred small ‘town centre’ designs to see this is often not put into practice. This, of course, is an issue in sub-urban capital cities, also in regional communities and, even more so in small rural communities such as mine.
Big cities – Melbourne, Sydney or even New York are not so much one large ‘city’ as they are hundreds of villages. So, what I say can to some extent be applied whether in Nathalia, Victoria (my home town, population 1,450) or Brisbane or Paris alike.
About the three redgum benches. They are located along the banks of the lovely Broken Creek at Nathalia, on the Murray River flood plain. It is these floods that periodically soak the soil allowing these trees to grow and create the world’s largest River Redgum forest. They became the sleepers for rail lines throughout the south-eastern states and gave birth to Nathalia as a timber milling town.
These benches were the last public space vestiges of the river redgum industry. The drop log cabins have all but collapsed, slab fences once common are now gone – even once common rough hewn red gum paling fences are gone. Over the years the timber cutting disappeared, the mills and virtually all evidence of them have been removed. The only evidence of a direct connection in the public domain was these three rough hewn ‘log andslab’ benches.
One day these absolutely unique, hand-made benches were removed by the shire – the shire office is about an hour’s drive away – and replaced by three ‘Picnic Bench/Green/ Metal/584-PB 1275’, or some such attribution from an urban furniture catalogue.
So what do we have? Our real history in wood is replaced by steel picnic benches – manufactured in the millions, and Bunnings powder-coated fences (in one of 4 styles – a Victorian look is favoured). Nathalia is, nonetheless, a lovely town, slowly, ever so slowly having its physical history erased and people here are bravely trying to keep this aspect of its history alive. They have established what I call a ‘memory line’ by having our signs say ‘redgum country’, our newspaper bears a similar name, a metal sculpture of a wood cutter is now located in our main street on a stone plinth, a visitor centre tells the story of our, once publicly evident, rich history.
My final comment is to say to you, as professionals, ethically no job should be undertaken if you cannot or will not look closely at the community in which you are working, come to some understanding of its history and its stories – reflect on the design possibilities for each individual place which will help keep its landscape unique and its history alive.

Venice is a diverse and exciting city with unique experiences to offer travelers of every taste and budget. Yes, there are more than a thousand years worth of history to learn about by visiting the historical sites of the City. But there's more! Within the many layers of the one-and-only Venice there are myriad contemporary adventures available for foodies, music-lovers, beachcombers, fashionistas and anyone else lucky enough to get their feet onto the cobble stones in this incredible city. These are fifteen ways in which few people know that its possible to experience Venice today.
Violet artichokes grown in Venice.
Markets & Shopping for Food. Explore the historic Rialto fish market, the vegetable market and specialty food shops of Venice. Sample Veneto area D.O.C. cheeses, wines, breads and sweets. And learn how to shop from Italian butchers, grocers and bakers.
Cicchetti Tours. It is a local tradition in Venice to spend a free afternoon or evening eating and drinking one's way through the city stopping at the best bars along the way. Don't miss out! Get out and socialize with fellow foodies over local cocktails and small bites of Venetian eats.
Cooking Classes. Cook and enjoy a multi-course Venetian meal under the guidance of one of the best cooks in Venice! You'll get to shop the markets, learn how to work with ingredients that you might not have at home and eat a homemade Italian meal family-style in Venice.
Summer Sports on Lido. Rent a bike, peddle over to the beach and then cool off kite-surfing, kayaking, windsurfing and swimming.
Eco-Lido. Take a bicycle tour of the island and visit the nature preserves at either Alberoni or San Nicolo. Explore the dunes and forests on the island and learn about the plants and animals native to the lagoon.
Beach Clubs & Bars on Lido. During the summer months, the party never stops on Lido. Much of the 11 kilometers of beaches are occupied by beach clubs, beach bars and restaurants. Club members lounge outside of private cabanas by day and move on to the club houses and bars for musical performances, dancing and literary events by night. Grab your sandals and spend a day meandering up and down the beach exploring the club houses and potentially choose one in which to spend some days in the sun.
Hand-beaded purse by Marisa Convento of Venetian Dreams, Calle della Mandola, San Marco.
Eco-Friendly, organic and repurposed clothing at El Papussa Calegher, Fondamenta della Misericordia, Cannaregio.
Whimsical and feminine paintings, clothing and objects by artist Ketty Vidali at Ketty Venice, Calle del Paradiso, Castello.
Artisan Shops in Venice. Venice is rich in artisan traditions including the famous Murano glass and also tapestry, hand-pulped paper goods, paper machee, beading, jewelry making, wood carving and sculpture. And, far from being stuck in the past, contemporary Venetian artisans bring a decidedly modern flare to their work. Go see what's being made in Venice now and go home with works of art worthy of being passed down for generations.
Antique Venice. Venice is full of re-discovered treasures awaiting their second life. In every district of the city you can discover the shops and workshops of restorationists who have antiquities from throughout the ages on offer. Discover furnishings, scultpures, clocks, mirrors and myriad pieces of decorative arts that were built to withstand history.
Vintage Venice. Rummage for vintage designer clothing, shoes and accessories in Venice' vintage shops and neighborhood markets. These stores were once such well-kept secrets that most Venetians didn't even know they existed. Now, they're popping up all over the city and each is vying to outdo the other withe fabulousness of their collections.
The Island of Torcello, Northern Lagoon of Venice.
The Island of Pellestrina, between the Southern Lagoon of Venice and the Adriatic Sea.
Clamdiggers off the Island of Certosa.
Pescaturismo, Fishing Tours in Venice. If you've read a menu in a Venetian restaurant, or visited the Rialto market, then you know that fish are extremely important to Venetian cuisine. But, did you know that you too can go fishing in Venice? There are fishermen in Venice who will take you out into the northern lagoon in a professional fishing boat and show you how they bring in their catch. Some even offer your opportunity to cook and enjoy your own fresh fish.
Historical Island Tours. No need to feel guilty about spending much of the day relaxing on a boat. There is sightseeing to be done in the lagoon too! You can visit the islands of San Francesco Del Deserto, where Saint Francis of Assisi is said to have performed his first miracles, and Torcello which hosts the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the most ancient religious structure in the lagoon. Go with a knowledgable historical guide and you will get an incredible amount of learning out of your day at sea.
Agricultural Island Excursions. Yes, there is farmland in Venice! As difficult as it is to imagine while walking the cobblestone streets in the center of town, there are a significant variety of fruits and vegetables being cultivated right here in the lagoon. And, of course, there are local wines too! On an excursion between the islands of Sant'Erasmo, Vognole and Mazzorbo it is possible to visit a farm, shop and a local farm stand, learn tricks for cooking local produce, and visit a restaurant that serves only lagoon-grown food and wine. You do need a boat. But, there is no more down-home Venetian experience than this!
Performance of a contemporary opera, San Marco.
Campo San Giacomo Dell'Orio at night, Santa Croce.
Live music in a Venetian bacaro, Cannaregio.
A Musical Evening. Non solo Vivaldi! Be it rock, jazz, classical or opera, there is guaranteed to be a musical performance that will blow you away happening during your stay in Venice. Unfortunately, because there is no one portal where musicians and venues publicize events, it can be challenging for visitors to discover the performances that will be most moving to them. A local friend with an ear to the ground of the Venice music scene can let you know about performances happening during your stay and take you to the best shows.
Wines and Cheeses of the Veneto. Take a cicchetti tour to the next level. Dispersed among the thousands of bacari in Venice, there are some excellent wine bars that specialize in regional and Italian wines and gourmet snacks. Spend a relaxing evening exploring Venice sampling Italian wines, cheeses and specialty foods with a knowledgeable companion.
Night Walk In Venice. Venice is a wonderfully safe city, and there is no better time to explore and admire the historic center of Venice than late in the evening. After the souvenir carts have been put to bed and before the fishermen start arriving at the market, you will find yourself in a silently proud wonderland of of architecture, history and art all illuminated by moonlight. Bring your camera and get enviable uninterrupted shots of the places that deserve their fame, but can be nearly impossible to truly appreciate during the chaotic and crowded days.

The most important things to pack for a trip to Venice don't take any space at all in your luggage and don't weigh a thing. They are: Your sense of adventure and your sense of humor. Venice is a kind city that will give you a wonderful experience so long as you understand that she doesn't care at all about your plans.
Yesterday afternoon I left home near Bragora with the ambitious idea of walking the length of La Giudecca before attending a concert at Serra Dei Giardini and then crossing town to attend another concert at Movie Bistro in San Marco. If all had gone as planned, this wouldn't be too unreasonable. I could have taken a vaporetto to the far end of La Giudecca, walked, taken another vaporetto back to Castello, then walked to San Marco. But, this is Venice. That is not what happened at all!
The first ticket machine couldn't give change. The man behind the ticket counter closed up shop, an hour early, right in front of my smiling face. I went and got change. But, the coin drop on the second ticket machine was blocked. I decided to walk to the Zatere and take a walk there. (Yes, in Venice, one walks to the places where one plans to take a walk.) But, no sooner had I turned in that direction than a million or so students came streaming towards me. I turned a corner to keep up momentum and found myself back on Salizada dei Greci, no further than fifty yards from home. Accepting that I had been thwarted, I drank a spritz at Pasticceria Pierino and pondered the existence of God. (There is definitely a touch of divinity in the home made bread sticks that they serve with drinks...) Then, powered by a few ounces of Campari, I decided that, if there were a God, it must have been telling me to just go to Serra. But, this is Venice. That's not what happened at all!
No sooner had I crossed one bridge than I met a group of travelers desperately seeking Celestia. It's a rare request deserving of attention! So, I walked them 90% of the way there, past the point of possibly getting lost, then turned off to head towards Giardini. But, for reasons I'll never understand considering the hundreds of times I've walked that same route, I took a wrong turn in Campo Do Pozzi and ultimately took myself to Celestia!
There was nothing left to do but have a good laugh at myself, and stop fighting Venezia. Clearly, I was destined to stay "home". I ambled back towards Bragora and happened upon A La Scuela where "Frito Misto" was playing a mixture of folk music and classic rock and all the neighbors, and most of their pets, were enjoying 1 euro ombri of the house wine and dancing in the street. There were all of four other out-of-towners there, all also present due to the conspiracy of circumstances, but we were all swept into the merriment as though we also had lived next door for years. I watched as my new friends forgot about asking for directions back to San Marco and fell in love with Venice in way they may never have done had they been where they intended to go. And yes, over a few ombri, a few songs and conversations with a few strangers, I also fell back in love with Venezia.
I'd like to pretend to be sorry that I missed out on each of the events that I promised to attend that night, but I'm pretty sure that the conspiracy of circumstances lead me to the best possible evening I could have had. I wouldn't trade those few hours at A La Scuela for all the Carpaccio at Cipriani. I am however still waiting for A La Scuela to serve up their locally famous spleen cicchetti... eh hem!
If you'd like to visit A La Scuela, and circumstances have not conspired to take you there by accident, it is also possible to go there on purpose. A La Scuela has been added to the Castello Bars section of OG Venice Travel Guide.

Depression can have a devastating impact on those it touches, making day-to-day life extremely difficult to manage. Fortunately, the sense of hopelessness it tends to bring is a false one.
Sadness is a normal, healthy, human reaction to troubling situations. With depression, however, there's a lot more to the story. In fact, for some people, depression can present without any sadness at all, but rather a persistent sense of emptiness, anhedonia (losing all pleasure in life), or even irritability and restlessness.
In all cases, when a person has depression, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning to a significant degree. Depression is a real illness, and it affects different people in different ways.
Depression can happen at any age, to anyone. It does not discriminate by class, intelligence, fame, capability, or circumstance. While trauma, loss, or stress play a role for some, for others it's genetics, biology/chemistry, or a physical condition. Shame and self-blame are often present, but rest assured, depression is not your fault.
If you've been experiencing 3 or more of the below for at least 2 weeks, you may be suffering from depression. Please contact us. We can help.
Depression affects different people in different ways. Not everyone will have every symptom, or the same combination of symptoms. Though there are no rules governing what specific symptoms of depression a given person will experience, there is a tendency for Children, Teens, Women, and Men to follow certain common patterns - not all of which may match the popular perception of what depression looks like.
Depression is diagnosed in Women more often than Men, but that does not mean actual incidence is different. Women tend to have more easily recognized symptoms, like prolonged sadness, feelings of worthlessness, guilt and shame. Women are also more likely to attempt suicide.
Depression in Men often presents in the form of irritability, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and losing interest in activities they used to enjoy. Men are also more likely (though this can occur with anyone) to turn to alcohol or drugs, to become frustrated, discouraged, angry, and sometimes even abusive. Some throw themselves into their work to avoid facing their depression, and some behave recklessly. And although more women attempt suicide, more men die by suicide in North America, partly because they are less likely to seek help when they need it.
In pre-pubescent Children, boys and girls are equally likely to suffer from depression. Children with depression may pretend to be sick, refuse to go to school, cling to a parent, or worry that a parent may die. Most chronic mood disorders, including depression, begin as high levels of anxiety in children.
In Teens, depression can make an already difficult phase in life downright intolerable. In teenagers and older children, depression may look like sulking, getting into trouble at school, general negativity/pessimism and irritability, or feelings of isolation. While a lot of these are common in adolescence, it's a matter of degree and duration - consider how long these changes have been taking place, and how severe they are. Teens with depression may also be suffering with anxiety, eating disorders, or substance abuse. They may also be at a higher risk for suicide. Stress, moodiness and struggling with change are all normal parts of being a teen; depression is not.
In Older People, depression can be difficult to recognize because they tend to show less obvious symptoms. Often, older people will feel tired, have trouble sleeping, or seem grumpy and irritable. Confusion or attention problems caused by depression can sometimes look like Alzheimer's disease, or be otherwise written off as just part of aging. Living like this doesn't necessarily have to be their new normal - it's absolutely worth investigating whether therapy could be beneficial.
There are several types of depressive disorders, and treatment plans differ accordingly. All types of depression are treatable, with the right combination of treatment approaches for each specific case. If you think you are depressed, contact us to make an appointment, and we can help you decide what the best path forward might be for you.
Major Depression: Severe symptoms that interfere with your ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy life.
Persistent Depressive Disorder: A depressed mood that lasts for 2 years or more. This timeframe can include episodes of Major Depression, along with periods of less severe symptoms.
Postpartum Depression: It's estimated that 10-15% of women experience postpartum depression after giving birth. This is more than baby blues, in that hormonal and physical changes and the new responsibility of caring for a newborn become overwhelming and interfere with your ability to get through your daily life.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Characterized by the onset of depression during the winter, when there is less natural sunlight, and generally lifts during spring and summer. Light therapy can help some, but nearly half of those with SAD do not get better with light therapy alone.
Bipolar Disorder: This is different from depression, but those with bipolar disorder can benefit from depression counselling to help them deal with the depressive phase of their condition.
The counsellors at ALCG are professionally trained, certified, experienced and objective experts on guiding and supporting individuals with depression throughout the therapy process. We won't blindly tell you what to do, pass judgment, or dole out useless platitudes. Every person's situation is unique, so your process and eventual course of action will be unique to you. We try to meet you where you're at, and help you make the best of the tools you have, to start.
Your first session is typically an opportunity for your therapist to get to know you, to learn about the challenges you're facing, and to discuss your goals and any major obstacles. Remember we're not here to judge, so try not to be nervous. You're doing this for you, so the more honest and open you can be, the more you'll get out of it. Even if you don't know what to talk about, that's completely fine. Start with how you feel and what you'd like to be different. Or just show up. We'll help you through the process.
There are a number of therapeutic approaches your counsellor may use, depending on what works best for your personality and situation. These can include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), and a number of other modalities. What works best for you is something you will explore together with your counsellor.
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the world. You are not broken, defective, or hopeless - despite how depression may make you feel.
This isn't what your life has to be like. You're here because on some level, you know things can be better.
Things can be better. Book an appointment now.

In 2001 /02 Dave Buchanan ex Sunderland and Ronan Liddane were installed as the new management team but early exits from the FA Cup and Vase followed. The same season two players who formerly had £1 million tranfers turned out for Crook. Kevin Scott ex Newcastle centre half and Peter Guthrie a goal keeper who both joined Spurs for the fee. A late season rally ensured survial in Division Two.
In 2003-04 Dennis Dolphin started the season as manager, but after nine games in charge he was sacked and Vince Kirkup ex Stanley United boss was installed into the hot seat. There was a night to remember as Bobby Robson sent a Newcastle team to play for the Barcelona Cup, a large crowd watched but Crook were heavily beaten 10- 1. Unfortunately league form did not improve and Kirkup was replaced by Alan Oliver before the season ended.
2005-06 was a memorable season. Aug 10th The Ernest Armstrong Trophy, a pre season tournament was won in front of a good crowd defeating Consett 3-0 in the final. On Aug 27th there was an early FA Cup exit losing 3-0 to St Helens. A nine game unbeaten run including two away wins in the FA Vase Sept 17th 2-1 at Ryton then Oct 1st 4-1 at Spenymoor with ten men and on Oct 29th Winsford were the visitors Milroy and Allen with the killer blows 2-0.
Nov 12th saw a shock exit in the County Cup with a 2-1 defeat at Birtley. Midway through the season Crook signed Dean Gordon ex Middlesbrough who had been playing in Cyprus. He made his debut on Nov 19th and scored in a 4-0 win v Billingham Town in the Vase, Paul Stout and Roy Allen 2 finished the scoring. On Dec 10th Ford Sports payed a visit to Millfield in an FA Vase encounter but were safely despatched 8-2. The league championship was a distinct possability at this time and on Jan 21st Vase favourites St. Blazey were sent back to Cornwall with a 3-0 defeat.
By Feb 11th Cup fever had hit the town. Eight buses plus cars left the Millfield for a trip to Arnold Town an in an end to end encounter Crook won 1-0 with a Roy Allen goal. While still going strong in the league, Bury Town were next to arrive in the quarter final of the FA Vase. They were now the vase favourites. A crowd of 2500 saw Crook have Bury on the backfoot for most of the game but an injury to Danny Mellanby proved decisive with Bury scoring the only goal of the game and ending Crooks brave run. Too many end of season games ended Crooks promotion hopes but it had been the best season for some time.
On the morning of the first game of the 2006-07 season, Alan Oliver was sacked whilst on holiday abroad. The game was played but most of the squad left the following week. Dennis Pinkney once again stepped in to the breach but only nine players turned up for an away game at Penrith. A fifteen year old, Alan Smith (Committee) and Neil Gibson (Kit man) turn out for Crook but a heavy 10-1 defeat ensued. Dennis Pinkney, the club appearance record holder played his 528th game and received his first yellow card in Crook colours. He was fifty years old at the time. Ex Newcastle and Man City professional Steve Howey took charge but he didn’t think he was suited to a Northern League club and soon moved on and was replaced by Ritchie Hill.
In 2007/08 the link between Jack Greenwell, a former Crook player who went on to become the first manager of the Catalan giants Barcelona was re established after a visit to the Nou Camp by the then Chairman Steve Buddle. Crook were allowed to design a new away kit in Barcelona colours with the use of the exclusive dye only used for the Catalan giants. It was used first on Sept 15th, a 3-3 draw at Team Northumbria. After only eleven games Ritchie Hill was sacked after early exits from the Fa Cup, Vase and County Cup. Peter Dixon formerly of Leam Rangers takes over and there are nine changes for his first match, a 3-2 home defeat to North Shields.
The 2008-09 season started well. On Sept 3rd a 3-0 win in an FA Cup replay against Armthorpe saw Crook progress and a 3-1 win on Sept 10th against Billingham Synthonia saw progression in the Vase. On Sept 13th a 4-3 defeat at Northern Premier League Wakefield saw hopes end in the FA Cup but on Sept 20th a 2-1 win at Barton Old Boys saw Crook progress in the Vase only to go out in the next round.
In 2009 -10, with only two defeats in the first eighteen games, saw Crook on the promotion trail for the first time in years. On Nov 14th Backup Borough turn up for an FA Vase tie with nearly the same colour strip. Crook have to play in their play in the away kit but still win 2-0. This was followed up on Nov 20th with a noteable win at the Darlington Arena beating the home side 3-1 in the County Cup. After a good start to the season Peter Dixon decided to leave Crook for West Auckland stating that the budget was not enough to achieve promotion. With most of the players moving with him, Crooks results were poor from there in and the club quickly slid down the league table.
Brian Maitland was appointed for the 2010 -11 season which had a steadying influence on team results. On Aug 14th Crook played away to Silsden in the FA Cup and after a draw won the replay 1-0 and followed that up with a 4-2 win at Team Northumbria in the FA Vase. Sept 18th saw a trip to Bridlington to play Scarbrough Athletic who were ground sharing but an entertaining encounter led to a 3-2 defeat which was to be the highlight of another disappointing season.
2011-12 saw another change in Management. Gary Pearson was appointed as manager but with an indifferent start to the season only a good run of results at the end of the season saw Pearson keep his job.
2013 -14 saw a good start to the season back in the 1st Division with Crook going undefeated in the first five games. On Aug 31st a great FA Cup win was gained at Kendall Town but an unfortunate injury to Chris Pearson resulted in a 4-1 defeat at Brighouse in the next round. Next came Pickering in the FA Vase and a great 6-1 win was achieved with hat tricks by Kyle Davis and Warren Byrne. A good crowd was in attendance for the next round against North Shields with Crook winning a replay 4-3 in extra time. On Oct 30th another good crowd watched the next round at Dunston but the home side took the honours 2-1. On Nov 22nd Crook took part in its first ever Friday night fixture. Shildon were the visitors and another good crowd saw Crook win 4-2. The season ended with a mid table finish which was indeed progress for the club in its first season back in the 1st Division.
The 2014- 15 season saw the club in dire straights financially. The management and most of the players left and Crook did not win a game all season and were relegated back to the 2nd division with its lowest ever points total.

The Suwannee River is preserved in song, steeped in history, and presents a natural haven for outdoor enthusiasts. As this north Florida river winds its way from Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico it passes through an interesting, yet lesser known, region of Florida –the Suwannee River Valley. Comprised of three counties - Suwannee, Hamilton and Columbia, and dotted with small towns such as White Springs, Lake City and Live Oak, the Suwannee River Valley abounds with southern charm, greeting visitors with warm hospitality and authentic Florida cultural heritage.
When visiting the Suwannee River Valley, it is easy to see that the Suwannee River provides the heartbeat for the region. Originating in Georgia’s Okeefenokee Swamp, the river flows 246 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. Of that total length, more than 170 miles comprise the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail, a connected web of Florida State Parks, preserves and wilderness areas.
For an easy half-day paddle launch your canoe or kayak in White Springs where American Canoe Adventures will provide transport to Wayside Park to launch. Enjoy an easy eight-mile adventure by beginning with this early morning paddle on the upper Suwannee River. The flowing water will slowly set your boat in motion as the sun rises and a faint mist hovers above the tannic black water river. The slow moving current will carry your vessel downstream at a peaceful pace, surrounded by lush nature and bordered by limestone bluffs with natural springs flowing into the river and tall gnarled cypress trees towering above. Birds, some rare, flit in and out of moss-draped old oaks, tall pines and hedges of palmettos.
You’ll rarely need to paddle as the current gently guides your vessel while a symphony of crickets fills the air. Watch for gators sunning on the riverbank (they will avoid you), deer grazing and otters playing.
Three miles down-river, just beyond the State Road 136 Bridge, you’ll pass the historic Spring House. Here, more than a century ago, tourists bathed in the “healing” therapeutic springs, no longer bubbling, yet the building remains. Soon, you’ll hear the sounds of the carillon, a huge bell tower that rings out with tunes by Stephen Foster, who wrote the Florida state song –Old Folks at Home (Suwannee River) in 1851 at the state park that now bears his name. For another four miles, the river runs through the wildness of Stephen Foster State Park, but the calm nature of the river will absorb your every thought. If you need to rest or stop for lunch, sandy riverbanks lining the shore.
Paddle on and time will pass with hardly a notice as you soon land at Swift Creek Track landmark where you’ll be picked up by the outfitter to return to your car.
The lengthy Florida Wilderness Trail is ideally set up with convenient camping platforms above the river, providing restrooms and hot showers for avid paddlers. If you are really adventurous, you may want to head upstream to Big Shoals State Park where experienced kayakers can challenge Florida’s only Class III rapids, or continue your journey downstream to the river’s middle stretch between Suwannee River State Park and the town of Branford where the river widens and you can enjoy spring-hopping adventures in Florida’s fresh water springs along the way. Further south of Branford, the lower Suwannee River terrain transforms from bluffs to low banks where boaters enjoy fishing for both salt and freshwater fish.
Ichetucknee Springs and River, near Fort White, gives you a chance to lazily float down the river. From the dock near the headspring tubers prepare to slip into huge brightly colored inner tubes and enter the clear, cool, 72-degree spring water. Here they begin to experience one of Florida’s most beloved waterways for more than three miles. The Ichetucknee River flows into the Santa Fe River, which in turn joins the Suwannee.
It’s a place where there is nothing to do but become “one” with the gentle current. Absorb the beauty as natural Florida greets you at every turn while you easily navigate under or around fallen trees. Bright blue skies offset the crystal clear water as the sun shines to the sandy bottom highlighting the river grass below. Mullet and bass swim by and an occasional otter may emerge onto the riverbank. Hawks, herons and egrets perch in the shady hammocks and wetlands while colorful wood ducks swim near the shore. Yellow-bellied turtles line up on submerged logs, basking in the warm sun. Red Cardinal flowers and white spider lilies add color and contrast to the riverbank while white-tailed deer drink from the water’s edge.
From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Ichetucknee Springs and River has been a destination for campers, college students and Floridians seeking the delightful experience of tubing more than three miles down river.
There are a few suggestions to maximize your Ichetucknee experience: Go early, and if possible, go on a weekday. Holidays and weekends are crowded. There are numerous tube outfitters outside the state park off SR 238 or 47 and reservations are not required. You’ll pick your tube up the day of your trip for one of the most special experiences in all of Florida.
Another cherished oasis is O’Leno State Park, less than 20 minutes from the Ichetucknee Springs, just west of Live Oak in High Springs. The park is well known because of its unusual geological feature where the river disappears underground and rises three miles south at the River Rise Preserve State Park.
A suspension bridge built by the Civilian Conservation Corps still spans the river and hiking, biking, camping and fishing are popular activities amongst shaded hammocks where turkeys, grey fox, and gopher tortoises are sure to be seen.
Music flows in Suwannee Valley with the annual Florida Folk Festival in White Springs. Get ready for good times with this relaxed, down-home celebration of Florida cultural heritage.
Held on the banks of the Suwannee River, it’s one of the oldest folk festivals in the United States, occurring every Memorial Day Weekend (May 27-29) at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park.
More than 300 of Florida’s most talented musicians, songwriters and artists gather to salute Florida’s heritage arts. Song, dance, tales and traditions are shared, and late night jam sessions entertain and often create collaborative new work.
Plus, the Festival’s folk life area demonstrates blacksmithing, butter churning, quilt making, a sugar cane boil, cracker whip making and fishing line casting.
And if you came to eat, you found the right place. Famous for homemade root beer floats as well as authentic soul food served up by local church groups, plus fried chicken, smoked mullet, shrimp, grits, greens, sweet tea and homemade desserts, the festival offers many mouthwatering choices and a heaping dose of genuine southern hospitality.
But get your reservations early. Camping is popular and if you miss getting a campsite at one of the state parks, the Spirit of the Suwannee nestled on the Suwannee River near Live Oak, offers a range of accommodations including primitive camp sites, RV hook ups and nice cabins. It is also a music park with a music hall open year around and two major festivals, the Suwannee River Jam and Wanee Festival. Expect to hear country, roots, rock, blues, gospel and bluegrass here.
In 1864, the largest Civil War battle in Florida was fought at Olustee. It is commemorated every February at the Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. Nearby Lake City marks the event with a two-day festival and at the battlefield a re-enactment brings the hard fought battle to life.
Each year, nearly 30,000 spectators converge on the battlefield to witness the re-enactment of the Confederate Army’s battle to repulse invading Union troops. During the actual battle, more than 10,000 troops fought a five-hour skirmish in a pine forest with more than 2,800 casualties.
Smoke fills the air, as uniformed Confederate and Union re-enactors battle using authentic weapons and firing cannons.
If you can’t make the re-enactment visit the Olustee Battlefield State Park, or the Lake City Columbia County Historical Museum for a taste of history. And while in Lake City try the Marion Street Deli & Pub for shrimp & grits and house smoked pulled pork.
White Springs could be the quintessential small Florida town. Timber and cotton were once mainstays, but it also attracted well-heeled tourists in search of the relaxing, medicinal waters of the White Sulphur Springs. Fancy hotels provided lodging as the railroad brought them to town.
In 1851, composer Stephen Foster wrote the popular tune “Old Folks at Home,” and White Springs became a destination “Way Down Upon the Suwannee River.” Nowadays, while there is no longer a bubbly spring, the Spring Building still stands as a reminder of the past. The Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center and Park, known for its carillon playing melodic Stephen Foster tunes, is home to an antebellum museum that pays homage to Foster and his music.
Today, White Springs is an eco-tourist destination, as hikers and bikers enjoy nearby Florida trails and paddlers enjoy the rivers and springs. Bird watchers flock to traipse through the woods where Eagles, Osprey, Pileated Woodpeckers and Owls call home. For lodging the White Springs Bed & Breakfast Inn welcomes guests to stay in town.
Enjoy a walking or biking tour of the small town to absorb its charm. Stroll down Spring Street to see the Adams County Store, churches dating to the late 1800’s, and several historic homes. And don’t miss old the Telford Hotel, not currently open but the only hotel that has survived since the prosperous resort town era.
Outside White Springs, along the Suwannee River, is Big Shoals State Park. This is home to Florida’s largest white water rapids. Hike the trails that lead to the shoals (shallow, rocky rapids). The well laid out trail in the pine flatwoods, along wetlands and beneath towering long leaf pines is a good place to spot hawks, barred owls, and Pileated Woodpeckers.
With a host of outdoor and cultural amenities set against a glorious backdrop of winding rivers, springs, parks and wildlife, Florida's Suwannee River Valley offers a vacation experience you won’t forget.
Yesssssss ... Florida Scalloping Season is Here!
Little River springs is one of the most beautiful places on the Suwannee River. The Florida Folk Festival is definitely a must see. We were very blessed to have seen: EmmyLou Harris, Arlo Guthrie, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Bellamy Brothers there also a young man named Sam Pacetti.

Widnes got the dream start after just five minutes when Tom Gilmore picked up a Joe Mellor bouncing kick through to ground under the uprights. Gilmore converted his own try for a 6-0 lead.
On ten minutes Kris Welham picked up a Widnes kick through on his own forty and went sixty metres, outpacing the chasing Gilmore, to score by the corner flag. Robert Lui was unable to convert from the touchline. Three minutes later Jake Bibby had a try turned down for a knock on.
On fifteen Welham got his second to put Salford into the lead as he took a Lui pass, threw the dummy and went ten metres to score. Lui hit the near upright with his conversion attempt but the Red Devils were two points up.
Welham was sin-binned on twenty-two for tacking a Widnes chaser without the ball with the line begging. After a stoppage for an injury Patrick Ah Van got on the end of a Tom Gilmore chip over the top to catch the ball on the full and touch down. Gilmore added the extras from the touchline for a 12-8 Vikings lead.
Salford were back on level terms nine minutes after the restart when Jake Bibby took a Jack Littlejohn pass to summersault over the line by the right corner flag. Lui again missed the conversion attempt, the sides on twelve points each. It was turning into the nailbiter that had been promised before kick-off.
On sixty-one Greg Burke struck a vital blow against his parent club when he crashed over under the sticks after being ankle tapped and rolling over before grounding. This time Lui added the extras for a six point home lead.
A high tackle by Jay Chapelhow on Junior Sa’u, inside his own twenty, gifted Lui a two pointer for 20-12.
On sixty-eight Viking Chris Houston was sin-binned for a high tackle, and after ironically applauding the referee he was shown the red card, it was the end of the Widnes challenge.
When Danny Craven kicked the ball it was charged down and picked up by Lui, just inside the Salford half, and he went fifty metres to score under sticks, adding the extras for a final scoreline of 26-12.
Salford have put themselves back in the running for a top eight finish but almost certainly condemned the Vikings to the middle eights competition and a fight for Super League survival. The Red Devils deserved the win and fought back well from a half-time deficit. Widnes were still in touch when Houstons sending off killed off their challenge and have only themselves to blame.
Red Devils: Littlejohn, Olpherts, Welham (2T, SB on 22), Sa’u, Bibby (T), Lui (2G), Shorrocks, Tasi, Wood, Burke (T), McCarthy, Griffin, Lannon. Subs: Kopczak, Tomkins, Nakubuwai, Chamberlain.
Vikings: Craven, Ah Van (T), Runciman, Olbison, Ince, Mellor, Gilmore (T, 2G), Chapelhow J, Johnstone, Chapelhow T, Whitley, Hauraki, Houston (SB on 68, SO on 68). Subs: Gerrard, Norman, Farnworth, Heremaia.

Working on the children’s zoo project for the Dallas Zoo back in the second half of the 1990s made me acutely aware that children are losing touch with nature. But it is also true that children and families need “safe” places to visit to enjoy wildlife, and to build an appreciation and greater understanding of it. If children do not develop an appreciation for nature, there are consequences. Here are a few additional resources I find helpful!
Kimberly Holland for Healthline, “Too Much Technology: Children Growing up With Weak Hands, Fingers” (March 7, 2018).
George Monbiot in The Guardian observes, “If Children Lose Contact With Nature They Won’t Fight For It” (November 19, 2012).
Net Nanny is a wonderful resource for parents needing help moderating their family use of “gadgets.” You might enjoy reading, “Setting Boundaries for Tech Addicted Kids (And Parents)” (September 1, 2017).
Susan Davis on WebMD has posted an informative article, “Addicted to Your Smartphone? Here’s What To Do” (June 21, 2012).
Scholastic.com shares insights in, “Why Kids Need Nature” (n.d.).
Courtney Seiter on Marketing Land writes a helpful article you might enjoy, “Short Attention Spans and Social Media: How to Fight Back” (January 3, 2012).
Randi Zuckerberg has addressed technology use in her book, “DOT Complicated: Untangling Our Wired Lives.” Follow the link to Goodreads and my personal review.
