Former pub set to be a specialist care home [Edition 2]

0 Comments | West Briton, The; Truro (UK), Jul 29, 2010 | by GINETTE DAVIES

A FORMER Penryn pub is set to be transformed into a specialist care home for adults with learning and physical disabilities.

The Swallowcourt Group is planning a Pounds 1 million redevelopment project after buying the Cross Keys site.

The development will create about 30 jobs.

Exciting Discussions are currently taking place with Cornwall Council planners regarding the refurbishment of the building.

Swallowcourt’s group development manager, Simon Phillips, told the West Briton: “It is massively exciting.”

The facility, which he said will look like an ordinary house from the outside, will cater for eight residents.

It is hoped to add an extension to the side, taking up five parking spaces.

Two self-contained flats will be created at the back, along with a covered courtyard.

Inside the main building will be a sensory room, lounge, large wet-room and six more bedrooms.

The residents will be aged from 18 to 65 and have learning and/ or physical disabilities needing full-time care.

It is expected there will be four to seven staff on site during the day with three overnight.

Having searched the Falmouth and Penryn area for the past two years to find the right property, Mr Phillips said he was delighted to find the Cross Keys on the market.

Committed He said: “I don’t think there is enough provision in this area and I believe we offer better homes than anybody else. “We are committed to providing the best possible care.” The pub got a bad press over the years as an under-age drinking venue with problems of late night noise.

It was also thrust into the national spotlight after a 2005 murder trial of a 17-year-old highlighted the pub as a place the teen and his friends regularly drank. It closed last year and has been boarded up since, but has been targeted by vandals and graffiti artists. Penryn mayor, Mary May, welcomed the scheme. She said: “I am really pleased about it

But now, thanks to

But now, thanks to many technological and medical advances, there is hope for those who suffer from acne scarring.

Thanks to a classification released in 2001, people can now identify which type of scarring they suffer from. Once the scarring is recognized, individuals can then seek specific treatment for their scars.

Rolling Scars – This scarring occurs when the subcutaneous tissue below the surface of the skin becomes tethered. The way to treat this type of scarring is by breaking up the subcutaneous fibrous bands.

Boxcar Scars ? These oval-to-round shaped scars have sharp vertical edges. The deeper scars will require full-thickness skin treatment while shallower scars can be treated with skin resurfacing techniques.

Ice Pick Scars – These narrow, sharp scars give the appearance that the skin has been repeatedly punctured by a sharp tool.

Stark Fabric Unveiled (Home Textiles Today)

0 Comments | Executive Quote and Information Service : EQUIS, Jul 31, 2006

New York — With the recent acquisition of Fonthill and Grey Watkins, two high end decorative fabric and wallcoverings companies, Stark Carpet has reshaped its fabric division, formerly known as Old World Weavers, into a new division called Stark Fabric.

The company, which specializes in high-end rugs, decorative fabrics, wallcoverings, and furniture, purchased Fonthill and Grey Watkins last month. The founders of each company, John Brewer and Grey Watkins respectively, remain with the company as directors of design for their units. The two businesses have relocated into the showrooms of Old World Weavers here, and in Dallas and Houston.

In all other territories, the two lines will remain in existing showrooms

The infighting is actually

The infighting is actually preventing the utopia we are all supposedly seeking. As you know many of these Sierra Club members live in the very same hills and are the first to have nature take everything they own from them, so of course they want the fires out too. Many times Sierra Club member hikers inadvertently set the fires when they disobey laws about campfires.

When the year has been dry and hot, there is always extreme fire risk as has been the case in the Western States and those regions not bordering the Pacific Ocean, this year we are on the back side, the down hill slide of the solar maximum cycle, but we are still not out of the woods yet. Meanwhile excessive rains in CA caused an abundance of sagebrush growth which will become dry come summer. At risk again in 2005 are all those other states where droughts have occurred and are way under rainfall averages.

Fires; the larger ones, once they get going have a life of their own, you cannot get men to lay hoses that fast, you must attack from the air.

Bikers brave weather for the Brass Monkey

0 Comments | Southland Times, The, Jun 7, 2010 | by SMITH Gavin

WAS it cold? You betcha.

Did the 10cm of snow and minus 8degC frost bother the dedicated 2000 bikers who drove through snow to get to the Brass Monkey Rally at Oturehua?

No.

The Otago Motor Cycle Club’s 30th annual rally attracted bikers from New Zealand and Australia as well as one from Canada.

The snow-capped Hawkdun range made a stunning setting at the weekend. For 17 riders it was the 30th time they had braved the unpredictable weather to pitch their tent on this hallowed piece of barren farmland.

Their reward for such devotion was an elevation in status among their peers, and the presentation of a special plaque.

The oldest rider to achieve the 30-year honour, Bryers Hull, 75, of Oamaru and formerly of Motueka , suggested that it was his stupidity that kept him motivated to return each year.

Accompanied again by his wife Jo, who has attended 22 rallies, he reflected on the changes he had experienced during the years.

“Especially in the early years, I think it was a case of more pain than pleasure because the weather was definitely much colder then.

“For the last 10 years it has been so warm that we have had rain.

“Previously, it was either snow or dinkum hard frosts,” he said.

A stroke a few years ago has not prevented him from being at the rally and he hoped his 250cc Suzuki complete with sidecar, would get him and his wife to a few more rallies yet.

However, for Christchurch biker Graeme Hutchison, this year’s rally was his second and may well be his last after he fractured his leg. With his wife, who was attending her first rally, on the pillion, his 1500cc cruising motorcycle slid and fell on the mud as he was looking for a tent site, fracturing his leg. He was flown to Dunedin Hospital for treatment
