“Council staff . felt [lawyers], especially for graves from before 1900, would ensure the advice we are giving the group is correct,” said NCC group manager for community services Andrew White. McIntyre said the graves’ age meant most relatives of the deceased were either long dead, or unaware their ancestors were buried at the cemetery. McIntyre had placed ads in the newspaper and posted on Facebook asking people to get in touch if they wanted their family headstones left untouched. This usually resulted in more people asking for long-dead relatives graves to be shown a little love, he said. However, White said not everyone was happy.

When a gallery offers virtually its entire exhibition space for an artist to do whatever she likes, itâs both tempting and intimidating. However, nothing is too much for Wendy Sharpe. Ever since she took on the challenge of creating eight mural-sized works for the Cook and Phillip Park Aquatic Centre in 1997, Sharpe has never hesitated to accept invitations that require her to work on a large scale under extreme pressure.
Coast visitors extend holiday stay just a little longer
Coast visitors extend holiday stay just a little longer By Mike Lacy | January 3, 2021 at 6:41 AM CST - Updated January 3 at 6:41 AM
GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - New Yearâs Day has come and gone, but the holiday weekend continues.
That means visitors from all over are staying just a little longer to take in the sights, and that sets a nice template for tourism season in 2021.
Debra and Alexus Lewis of Canton have been to the Coast before.
âWe often come down to the Coast, especially for the summer months,â Lewis said. âMy daughter loves the water. She loves the beach. So, we just come down, enjoy the attractions, the food and just relax.â

Joe Biden’s plans for his first 100 days in office are a little hazy, but he has made noises about getting children back in school; he’s already spoken with the heads of the teachers’ unions, of course, to get their input, and their plan to reopen the elementary schools would run around $100 billion. “You gotta pay for this stuff,” he explained.
Biden on Wednesday made a great argument for opening up the schools now he said that it’s unconscionable that in America, parents might have to drive to a library parking lot to get WiFi so their kids can learn virtually. That’s unacceptable, says the man who’s been in Washington for nearly half a century.
