George Kirkpatrick: Man who fought Troubles murder conviction dies


BBC News
By Stephen Dempster
He maintained he was framed for a notorious Troubles murder, but has died without clearing his name.
Earlier this week, in a quiet corner of the County Down countryside several miles outside Rathfriland, about 30 people gathered in a churchyard.
Braving an unseasonal chill in the air and the passing showers, the mourners quietly looked on as the body of 74-year-old George Kirkpatrick was lowered into the ground.
The funeral service and burial were short.
There was little fuss.
But the passing of George Kirkpatrick is significant.
Because while some in this community will say good riddance to a man they believe was a murderer, others are haunted by the fact he went to his grave always protesting he was an innocent man. ....

Let this river run: It s time to finally free the Ocklawaha from the shackles of old folly
The Gainesville Sun Editorial Board
Fifty years ago this month, President Richard Nixon ordered an end to an environmentally destructive barge canal that would have bisected the Florida peninsula.
Yes, Richard Nixon. Before he resigned office in disgrace, Nixon had a respectable environmental record that included creating the Environmental Protection Agency, signing the Clean Air Act into law and canceling funding for the financial boondoggle known as the Cross Florida Barge Canal.
Other Republican leaders who followed took a similar approach when it came to removing the barge canal project s most damaging legacy: a dam that backed up the Ocklawaha River and flooded about 7,500 forested acres, creating the Rodman Reservoir. ....

Cross-Florida Barge Canal halted 50 years ago, but a dam remains


It s hard for anyone nowadays to believe that the Cross-Florida Barge Canal was ever seriously contemplated, much less that it was a hot, divisive political fight from the 1960s through the 1980s.
Think of it: Digging a massive waterway from Jacksonville west to Yankeetown, a little town north of Tampa, and in the process ripping through Central Florida s network of springs, widening rivers and creeks, smashing through forests, and potentially damaging the aquifer that much of the state depends on for drinking water. A boondoggle of epic proportions. What were they thinking? 
When President Richard Nixon impounded funds for the project 50 years ago this week, stopping the dredgers practically overnight, the move sent a shockwave through state politics. ....

The end of the canal that would have cleaved Florida in two

50 years ago, environmentalists persuaded Nixon to halt construction of the Cross Florida Barge Canal.
 
Published Jan. 15
In January 1971, a forward artillery observer serving with American forces in Cambodia exulted in good news from back home in Florida. “I was excited for my mom,” he remembered in an interview years later. “But nobody in my unit had any idea why I was so happy. I had to explain to them about the Cross Florida Barge Canal.” That observer was Stephen Carr, whose enthusiastic response was fueled by the reports that President Richard Nixon issued an executive order 50 years ago — on Jan. 19, 1971 — mandating that construction on the canal be halted. ....
