This Sunday morning, as many of us lace up walking boots or pull on wellies, as we untangle the lead and clip it on to the dog, even as we step outside, pull up our collars a little and eye the clouds, we’ll be taking a moment to think about Julia James. And then at 10am, along with hundreds of fellow dog-walkers around the world, we’ll be marking Julia’s passing with a minute’s silence, before heading off for the morning’s exercise.
The
music died early on the morning on February 3, 1959, midway through
the
Winter Dance Party tour whose line-up included some of the
best rock and roll artists of the day. Headliner Buddy Holly had
chartered a four-seater Beechcraft Bonanza to fly him from Clear
Lake, Iowa to Fargo, North Dakota, taking along with him J.P
Richardson (aka the “Big Bopper”) and Ritchie Valens. Bad
weather, a pilot not certified for instrument flying and a new gyro
contributed to the 1 a.m. crash in an Iowa cornfield, killing all on
board instantly.

A Des Moines man is facing a mandatory 10-year prison sentence after being accused of pulling down his COVID-19 face mask and spitting on a fellow retail customer while yelling, âIf I have it, you have it!â
Police and court records indicate Shane Michael, 42, went to a Vision 4 Less eyewear store in Des Moines on Nov. 11. While there, Michael was wearing his face mask pulled down slightly, leaving his nose exposed.
Another customer, Mark Dinning, allegedly asked Michael to correct the positioning of his mask, and the two men exchanged words before leaving the store and walking out to the parking lot.
A LEADING North-East wildlife charity is to create several jobs after being awarded more than £400,000 of Government funding to deliver a “landmark” conservation programme. Durham Wildlife Trust’s “Healing Nature” initiative – protecting and restoring important habitats across 20 wildlife sites – is one of the first environmental projects to be awarded a grant from the Government’s £80m Green Recovery Challenge Fund. The Trust has been awarded £407,300 to carry out vital work at the sites in Gateshead, Sunderland and South Tyneside. Healing Nature is one of the first wave of 68 projects to benefit from the Green Recovery Challenge Fund, established by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), and administered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
