The continuing restoration of the Dublin Bay 21 class of 1902, in the longterm project guided by Hal Sisk and Fionan de Barra of Dun Laoghaire, has seen the work of Master Shipwright Stephen Morris of Kilrush and his team (which includes several trainees) being celebrated in the latest annual round of Wood Awards Ireland.
Designed to encourage the increased and more imaginative use of wood in construction projects of all kinds, this special awards assessment process may seem to function in a low-key and specialist style. But in reality, it s a decidedly high-powered adjudication, as the panel is chaired by the State Architect Ciaran O Connor, who is also the current President of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.
BUCKHANNON – Christmas Around the World brought joy and excitement to all of Upshur County children who visited downtown Buckhannon to participate in a Christmas scavenger hunt, Crypt A Gram contest and visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who.
They were treated to cookies, cake, apple cider and tea to keep them refreshed as they walked Main Street visiting businesses who had decorated trees representing Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Russia and Spain.
Completing their tour, they journeyed back to Santa’s Headquarters to drop off their completed forms and stuff their ticket indicating their favorite tree, into the proper box. Of course, getting to visit Santa and whisper their secret Christmas wishes brought smiles to all their faces.
