# Wollersheim

**Wollersheim** is a village in the municipality of Nideggen in the district of Düren in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

## Location

Wollersheim lies on the northern edge of the Eifel mountains. The fertile lands of the Zülpich Börde border the village. Around Wollersheim is a geological and botanical feature: the muschelkalk *kuppen*, which are home to numerous rare species of limestone pastures.

Southwest of the village rises the Neffelbach stream.

Wollersheim is bounded by the villages of Embken, Langendorf (municipality of Zülpich), Eppenich (municipality of Zülpich), Vlatten (municipality of Heimbach) and Berg-Thuir.

## History

An immense number of archaeological finds point to an early settlement of the area. In 1931/32 in the source region of the Neffelbach, six pottery kilns and several sandstone wells were excavated. Even the name of a pottery owner has survived. On one of the shards of pottery from the 2nd century AD is the name *Verecundus*. On the nearby Pützberg hill and in the vicinity of Gödersheim Castle, Roman skeleton graves and matronae stones from the Roman era were found which were dedicated to the *Matronae Veteranehae*.

Wollersheim Heath was reputedly the scene of the Battle of Zülpich in AD 496 between the Franks under Clovis I and the Alemanni, although many historians now doubt this. The settlement named by Gregory of Tours as *Tulbiac* may have been somewhere to the south because there were simply not Alemanni this far north.

Wollersheim was first recorded in 1231 as *Wolrisheim*. The name is derived from Saint Willibrord. As early as 1184 a ladies house (*Frauenhof*) is mentioned for the Cologne foundation of St. Maria im Kapitol.

In 1388 the French king, Charles VI and the Duke of Jülich signed the Treaty of Wollersheim (*Wollersheimer Frieden*) here.

On 1 January 1972 Wollersheim was incorporated into the new borough of Nideggen. According to the decision of the *Oberverwaltungsgericht* dated 4 August 1972 Wollersheim remained in Nideggen, and temporarily lost the title of "town" (*Stadt*).

## Church

The village has two church buildings, the Old Church, whose oldest parts date to the 11th century, and the New Church of 1900 to 1903.

In 1958 the Old Church was to be dismantled and moved to the open air museum at Kommern. However the villagers opposed this. The Old Church is one of the oldest sacred buildings in the county of Düren.

Wollersheim belongs to the Archdiocese of Cologne.

## Economy

Around Wollersheim a lot of Eifel barley is grown for the brewing industry. From 1791 to 1987 the Cramer Brewery brewed beer in Wollersheim itself.

abstract: Wonder Woman: Amazonia is a 1997 one-shot comic book, written by William Messner-Loebs, illustrated by Phil Winslade, and published by DC Comics under its Elseworlds imprint. As with all Elseworlds it tells a non-canon story of a DC hero, this time Wonder Woman, outside regular continuity. The story is set between 1888 and 1928 in an alternate history with steampunk overtones, previously considered "Earth-34" in the post-Infinite Crisis DC multiverse, now considered "Earth-19" in The New 52 (post-Flashpoint) universe.

***Wonder Woman: Amazonia*** is a 1997 one-shot comic book, written by William Messner-Loebs, illustrated by Phil Winslade, and published by DC Comics under its Elseworlds imprint. As with all Elseworlds it tells a non-canon story of a DC hero, this time Wonder Woman, outside regular continuity. The story is set between 1888 and 1928 in an alternate history with steampunk overtones, previously considered "Earth-34" in the post-*Infinite Crisis* DC multiverse, now considered "Earth-19" in *The New 52* (post-*Flashpoint*) universe.

## Plot

The story takes place in a world which diverged from ours in 1888, when a mysterious explosion killed Queen Victoria and her entire immediate family, with the exception of Duke "Eddy" of Clarence, who survived as a brain damaged cripple and was thus unable to succeed to the throne. A mysterious American named Jack Planters then appeared with a claim to be a distant royal cousin named "John Charles Plantagenet", and was crowned King John II, popularly known as King Jack. Little does anyone suspect that Planters himself murdered the Royal Family after having dispatched four Whitechapel prostitutes for practice (Mary Jane Kelly is spared in this timeline, and makes a cameo as an old woman). Under King Jack's rule the British Empire becomes steadily both more militaristic, unjustly making war on France and other countries, and misogynistic, suspending all women's rights and establishing a harsh patriarchy.

Diana the Amazon is snatched away from Paradise Island by an invading Royal Marines squadron captained by Steven Trevor, here a wicked villain in contrast to the selfless hero that he is in the mainstream DC Universe. Trevor takes Diana back to London as his wife, and "civilizes" her. By 1928, Diana is an actress and the leading player of a London theatre show which acts out Bible stories. She eventually runs away and adopts the heroic persona of Wonder Woman, organizing resistance against King Jack's cruel regime. Along the way, Wonder Woman learns that the King's son, Prince Charles, is as kindhearted and just as his father is murderous and tyrannical. Charles becomes Diana's partner in both war and love, leading to the story ending in an inevitable pun.

# Women's World Chess Championship 2013

The **Women's World Chess Championship 2013** was a chess match for the championship. The match was scheduled over ten games from 10 to 27 September 2013 in Taizhou, Jiangsu, China.

The match was played between defending champion Anna Ushenina, winner of the Women's World Chess Championship 2012, and challenger Hou Yifan, the previous champion and winner of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2011–2012.

After seven of ten games Hou Yifan won the match 5.5 to 1.5 to retake the title.

## Previous head-to-head record

Prior to the match, as of 23 May 2013, Anna Ushenina and Hou Yifan have played 8 games against each other at classical time control with the following statistics:

|  | Anna Ushenina wins | Draw games | Hou Yifan wins | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anna Ushenina (White) – Hou Yifan (Black) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Hou Yifan (White) – Anna Ushenina (Black) | 2 | 3 | 2 | 7 |
| Total | 2 | 3 | 3 | 8 |

## Format

The match is played as at most ten classical games in the Taizhou Hotel, or less if one player reaches 5.5 points before that. The time controls are 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with an increment of 30 seconds per move starting from move one. In case of a tie there will be a new drawing of colors and then four rapid games with 25 minutes for each player and an increment of ten seconds after each move. If the scores are level after the four rapid games, then, after a new drawing of colours, a match of two games will be played with a time control of five minutes plus three seconds' increment after each move. In case of a level score, another two-game match will be played to determine a winner. If there is still no winner after five such matches (i.e. after ten games), one sudden-death game will be played. The prize fund is 200,000 Euros with 60% for the winner and 40% to the loser if the match is decided within ten games or 55% and 45% if match is decided in tie-breaks.

## Schedule

## Match

The drawing of colors was on the opening ceremony day on 10 September. The first two games were played on 11 and 12 September. After every two games there is a rest day. Ushenina drew the white colors and played the first game with white. A switch of colors occurred after game 4. Hou Yifan dominated the match, winning four games, drawing three and losing none, and thus regained the championship title which she had lost the previous year.

# Women of '69, Unboxed

***Women of '69, Unboxed*** is a 2014 documentary film by director/producer Peter Barton and executive producer/producer Liz Roman Gallese. It is about 19 women who graduated from Skidmore College in 1969, when it was still an all-women college. The film won two awards at film festivals and received positive reception.

## Description

During their time at Skidmore College, the 19 subjects of the film had a year box rather than a year book. Their year box contained photographs that showed what they experienced throughout college. Barton interviewed them when they were near 65 years old. He also interviewed some of the men, including their professors, whom they met while they were in college. The film goes from interviewee to interviewee at random. Interspersed with the interviews are photographs of the women as college students. Executive producer Liz Roman Gallese was a member of that year's graduating class.

The film touches on women's issues that are still important in modern times such as in relation to marriage, careers, and whether to have children. The "focal point" of the film is the women in the present. In 1971, Skidmore College opened up to men as well.

## Release

The film was screened at the Woods Hole Film Festival (Cape Cod), the Women’s International Film and Arts Festival (Miami, Florida), the Queens World Film Festival (New York City), and the New York City Independent Film Festival.

It aired on the Maine Public Broadcasting Network (MPBN-TV) on July 5, 2015. On March 29, 2016, the film aired on WNED in Buffalo, N.Y. and WBFO in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

## Reception

It won the ShortsHD Award for Best Short Documentary at the New York City Independent Film Festival in 2015 and Best Documentary Feature at the Queens World Film Festival in March 2016. At the 2015 Woods Hole Film Festival it was the 1st runner-up in the Best Documentary Feature category.

Tim Miller of the *Cape Cod Times* wrote, "This shouldn’t be a big surprise, of course, but, for their era, their pursuit of independent lives was groundbreaking, and *Women of ’69, Unboxed* makes that point loud and clear. And effectively." In a review for *Next Avenue*, Linda Bernstein wrote, "The freedoms these women fought for — that they had to even fight for things like the right to drink alcohol on campus — is the lesson of the film."

## Critical reception

Stuart Heritage of *The Guardian* wrote, "'Mowgli's Road' is odd. Think Gary Glitter, but if he kept pictures of *The Wicker Man* and some nice cutlery on his hard drive instead of that other stuff. This could easily be a hit; or, rather, the first couple of minutes could. Then it descends into a lunatic mixture of monkey wails, whistling and childlike nightmare mumbles that may well be responsible for my chronic insomnia."

## Music video

The music video for "Mowgli's Road" was directed by Chris Sweeney and released onto YouTube on 20 October 2009. The video features Marina and two girls with origami limbs and torso dancing in a spotlight with a white screen. In the second verse, Marina sings into a microphone on a stand. It begins with Marina standing without lighting and stomping her origami legs to the beat of the music. When the lighting comes on, Marina begins singing and moving her origami legs; two female dancers with the same legs appear and dance with her. After the repeat of the chorus, Marina is shown with her origami torso, bouncing up and down while singing the third verse. While the music continues in the song, Marina and the dancers dance with all limbs in origami form. The video ends with the lighting of the set going out and they all stand as Marina was in the beginning.

# WKKQ

**WKKQ** (96.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format, licensed to Barbourville, Kentucky, United States.

## History

In 1974, WYWY-FM signed on the air at 93.5 on the FM dial. According to the book "Towers Over Kentucky," WYWY-FM tried big band and easy listening in the daytime with rock for the teens at night. Later on, the AM went country and the FM became adult contemporary. With the FM rule changes in the 1990s, the Engles were able to find a way to up power to 25 kilowatts by moving to 96.1 on the dial, where they put the top country format, while turning the AM station to southern gospel. But on November 10, 2000, the station changed its call sign to the current WKKQ.

# St. Louis, Peoria and North Western Railway

The **St. Louis, Peoria and North Western Railway** was a short-lived and nominally independent railroad of 114.6 miles in length. It extended from near Benld, Illinois, its southern end, to Peoria, Illinois at its northern end. It was constructed in 1911-1913 with $10.0 million in capital raised by the Chicago and North Western Railway (C & NW) to haul coal from Macoupin County mines operated by the *Superior Coal Company*, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chicago and Northwestern.

## History

Apparently for legal purposes, the Benld-Peoria railroad project was incorporated in 1911 as an independent railroad. It was, however, always an adjunct of the Chicago and North Western; and in December 1913, when the St. Louis, Peoria, and North Western was completed, the branch line was consolidated into the C & NW. The new branch line entered service in 1914. After the consolidation of the former St. Louis, Peoria and North Western into the C & NW, the branch line was further extended southward to Worden, Illinois.

The St. Louis, Peoria and North Western was not built as a passenger line and deliberately avoided population centers located on or close to its right-of-way. For example, the railroad's right-of-way never approached closer than 3.5 miles to the city center of Springfield, Illinois, and did not provide passenger service to Springfield.

The six Macoupin coal mines served by the St. Louis, Peoria and North Western yielded an estimated 2.0 million tons of coal annually, almost all of which was burned by the Chicago and North Western in its steam railway operations. The C & NW's grain-belt trunk lines did not serve any coal fields, and until 1914, the Chicago-based railroad had been forced to purchase much of its coal from outside suppliers. The development of the St. Louis, Peoria and North Western branch line was meant to create an in-house pipeline of coal supply for the C & NW's overall operations.

The dieselization of the Chicago and North Western reduced the Chicago-based railroad's need for an in-house coal supply. Passage, starting in 1963, of the Clean Air Acts made Macoupin County coal redundant. Coal haulage declined on the Girard-Peoria line, and the branch line went out of use in the 1990s.

## Current events

That section of the roadbed located in Sangamon County, Illinois has been rededicated to rails-to-trails use. In July 2011, part of the right-of-way was reopened as the Sangamon Valley Trail.

One of the abandoned *Superior Coal Company* Macoupin County coal mines operated by the Chicago and Northwestern as part of its St. Louis, Peoria and North Western operations has apparently caused mine subsidence, which caused severe damage in 2009 to an elementary school in Benld. The school district was forced to tear down the building and rebuild elsewhere. In August 2010, the Gillespie school district sued the Union Pacific, the corporate successor of the C & NW, for $22 million in damages. Almost $10 million was awarded in settlement of the lawsuit. The mine subsidence has expanded to affect private houses adjacent to the school property.

**St. Michael's Church** in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, is a Roman Catholic church situated in Halwan Suburb of Al Yarmook area of Sharjah, founded in 1971. As of January 2023 the church is headed by Fr. Savari Muthu.

## History

The first St. Michael's Church was founded by Fr. Barnabas in 1971 and was originally just a small chapel close to the British Airforce base. In 1973 Fr. Barnabas shifted it into the British officers’ mess. The kitchen of the church was converted into the Parish House.

Father Barnabas was succeeded by Fathers Attilio, Edmund, Antonino, Felicio, Godwin and Angelo. The congregation increased along with the space to accommodate all of the parishioners.

The new Church was built by Fr. Angelo Fiumicelli and his team, under the supervision of Bishop Bernard Gremoli. It was consecrated on 2 October 1997 by Cardinal Artinze from the Vatican, with Fr. Angelo as the first parish priest.

When Fr. Angelo returned to Italy after 18 years in St. Michael's Church and 54 years in the Vicariate of Arabia, Bishop Paul Hinder O.F.M. Cap appointed Fr. Ani Xavier as parish priest on 6 July 2007, with co-pastors Fr. Rodson, Fr. Antonio, Fr. Biju and Fr. Felicio. 35 prayer groups gather weekly, and Masses are conducted in 8 languages.

# St. Astvatsatsin Monastery (Badamly)

**St. Astvatsatsin Monastery** was an Armenian monastery located near the village of Badamly (Shahbuz District) of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. The monastery was located approximately 600-700m east of the village.

## History

The monastery was founded in the 12th or 13th century and was renovated in 1610 and 1651–71.

It was a major medieval monastic center. A colophon of a gospel copied here in 1292 records that the monastery had a sizable congregation and was the seat of an Armenian bishop.

## Architecture

In the late Soviet period the only standing building of the monastic complex was the church. The church was a basilica structure with a rounded dome, apse, two vestries, and a hall, and was accessed through doorways on the western and southern sides. There were Armenian inscriptions on interior walls and on the dome. The interior southern facade was also adorned with relief sculptures, as were the doorways.

## Destruction

In the late Soviet period the only standing building of the monastic complex was the church. The monastery was listed on the 1988 list of Historical and Cultural Monuments of the Azerbaijan SSR under inventory number 2857. The monastery was razed to ground at some point between 1997 and July 28, 2008, as documented by Caucasus Heritage Watch.

# St. John's Lutheran Church (Salisbury, North Carolina)

**St. John's Lutheran Church** is an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation in Salisbury, North Carolina. It reported 1099 confirmed members as of 2014.

## History

St. John's Lutheran Church began in 1747, with its first building a log structure built in 1768 on North Lee Street, John Lewis Beard deeded the land on September 9 of that year for the "Evangelical Lutheran Congregation in the township of Salisbury" as well as “the High Church of England" (which became the Episcopal Church) and to “the Reformed Calvin ministers” (Presbyterian Church). Beard had buried his daughter on the land and was concerned something could happen to the land, so he gave it to the church, and a cemetery still occupies the site today. Michael Braun, Michael More, Caspar Guenther, and Peter Reeb were listed as trustees and might be thought of as the first church council.

A second building was built by St. John's and the Episcopalians.

In 1857 St. John's moved to a larger location at North Main and Liberty Streets.

Plans for a new building were made starting in 1923, and groundbreaking took place in 1925. The 900-seat sanctuary in the church's current location on West Innes Street had its first worship service January 2, 1927.

St. John's kindergarten began in 1946. Its goal was to help children who would soon start first grade, with a Christian emphasis.

The education building and chapel were added in 1967, followed by a child development center in 1999.

In 2006, St. John's paid $1.5 million for property on Fulton Street that included the former K-Town Furniture, which had closed in 2005 after 33 years in a former Winn Dixie building. Five years later, the church decided to tear down that building because getting there from the main building required crossing the street, and without an expensive upgrade, its foundation could not support youth activities and contemporary worship, both of which needed more space. Renovations were planned in the building that included the sanctuary and fellowship hall, and temporary locations for some activities and programs were needed. The church also voted to buy the Woodson Law Firm building at West Council and North Church Streets.

Groundbreaking for a $5.9 million youth and contemporary worship center took place February 16, 2014. The building was first used in August 2015 and dedicated September 12. Included were the Faith Center, which seated 350 and had a 20-by-12-foot (6.1 m × 3.7 m) screen. The high school space was called Fuel, named for a service station that once stood on part of the church site. The Well for middle school youth was at the site of a well in the center of the room.

# St. John's Lutheran Church (Port Hope, Michigan)

**St. John's Lutheran Church** is a historic Lutheran church in Huron County, Michigan. It is located at 4527 Second St. in Port Hope, Michigan. The Victorian Gothic style church was built in 1899. It was added to the National Register in 1987.

## History

The St. John's Lutheran Church congregation in Port Hope was established in 1868. In 1870, Rev. W. Schwartz, a traveling missionary, took charge of the congregation, and soon, with the arrival of more settlers, the congregation grew. In 1871, the congregation constructed a frame church on this site. By 1876, the congregation was large enough to warrant its own pastor. By 1899, the earlier structure proved inadequate, and the congregation constructed this one. A wing was added in 1981. The church still serves the original congregation.

## Description

St. John's Lutheran Church is long and narrow brick Gothic structure with a steeply pitched gable roof. The front facade is symmetrical, with a central projecting square-plan tower topped with a wooded belfry and spire. Along the sides are pointed-arch windows filled with stained glass, separated by stone-trimmed, brick buttresses. A rear, gable-roofed projection holds the chancel. On one side, attached via a short corridor, is a cross-gable-roof, one-story wing, added in 1981, with a style closely matching that of the original 1899 church.

Inside, the sanctuary contains stained wood pews flanking a central aisle. Above is a plaster ceiling, sloping on the sides and flat the center. In the rear is a gallery with the organ.

# St. Petersburg Training Center

The **St. Petersburg Training Center** is a closed United States Air Force facility that was located in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was last assigned to the United States Army Air Forces Personnel Distribution Command. It was closed in 1945.

Opened on 6 July 1942, the St. Petersburg Training Center was an enlisted basic training centers (BTC) of the Army Air Forces during World War II. The basic training center closed on 19 July 1943 and was moved to Lincoln Army Airfield, Nebraska. Subsequently, the facility was transferred to the AAF Personnel Distribution Command. It arranged the deployment of airmen to overseas groups and squadrons in combat theaters around the world.

## History

The need to train the tens of thousands of men entering the Army Air Corps in 1942 led to the decision by the service to open additional Basic Training Centers (BTC). In June 1942, St. Petersburg, Florida was selected for a BTC, and with time of the essence, the War Department leased hotels, apartment houses, and other miscellaneous building to accommodate trainees. With the assistance of public officials and owners of the city's hotels, sixty-two hotels were provided for United States Military occupancy. The facility was located in Downtown St. Petersburg, and during its year of operation, additional locations in Clearwater and Clearwater Beach were leased by the War Department. A Rifle Range was located on the beach in Clearwater.

The first personnel arrived on 6 July 1942 when the 604th Technical School Squadron (later the 607th Training Group) arrived. The 603d TSS (later 607th TG) arrived on the 9th and the 586th TSS (later 603d TG) on 11 July. All four units moved into the Vinoy Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida which had been leased by the War Department. These units set up the basic training center, the first recruits arrived at AAF Basic Training Center No. 6 at the end of August 1942.

Army Air Forces basic training consisted of:

* Basic military general orders, military conduct, close order and open order drill.
* Familiarization with all standard weapons, assembly, cleaning and utilization.
* Physical training with obstacle course.
* Gas mask training and procedures.
* Rifle range qualification on the 30 cal carbine rifle
* One week of field training.

During the next twelve months, thousands of trainees were given basic Army Air Force indoctrination, and classified into their military occupational specialties (MOS). From the St. Petersburg Center, after graduation they were assigned to various Technical Schools for advanced training. Some were sent to Maxwell Field, Alabama where they attended aviation pre-flight school for initial training as air cadets, where they could be further classified for pilot, navigator, bombardier or flexible gunnery training.

At the end of May 1943, it was announced by the First Technical Training District, Army Air Forces Technical Training Command at Greensboro Center, North Carolina, that the St. Petersburg training center would be closed, and the facility would be transferred to Lincoln Army Airfield, Nebraska. The last trainees began graduating in June, with the last class ending in the beginning of July. The permanent party personnel were given new assignments and on 19 July 1943, the flag came down at its headquarters.

All leases were terminated and the facilities returned to their civilian owners. The military facilities were completely redeveloped in the postwar years, and was incorporated into the city's urban community. Today, no evidence of the facility remains.

# St Catharine's Convent, Edinburgh

**St Catharine's Convent** or **St Catharine’s Mercy Centre** is a Catholic convent of the Sisters of Mercy and a centre for the homeless in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was built in 1860 and originally designed by David Cousin, with additions made in 1887 and 1892. It is located on the corner of Lauriston Gardens and Lauriston Place in the Lauriston area of Edinburgh. In 1992, it became a Mercy Centre with the mission of helping the local homeless. In 1989, it was designated a category B listed building.

## History

### Foundation

In 1831, the Sisters of Mercy were founded in Dublin, Ireland, by Catherine McAuley. In 1849, Sisters of Mercy from Limerick came to Glasgow to found a community in Garnethill (now part of St Aloysius' College). They were invited by the Bishop James Gillis, the Apostolic Vicar of the Eastern District of Scotland to found a convent in Edinburgh. In 1860, they moved into Lauriston.

### Construction

The building was originally designed by David Cousin. It was built in 1860. In 1887, the convent was expanded and a church was added. It was called St Catharine's Church. The extensions and church were designed by the architect Archibald Macpherson (1851–1927). He was an ecclesiastical architect who mainly worked on Catholic churches and schools such as Sacred Heart, Edinburgh, St Aloysius Church, Glasgow, St Aloysius' College, Glasgow and St David's Church, Dalkeith. In 1892 he made further alterations to the church building.

### Works

In 1865, sisters from the convent founded a training college for Catholic teachers that would later become St Thomas of Aquin's High School. In 1886, it became an all-girl school, called St Thomas of Aquin's College. In 1975, boys were admitted to the college. In 2002, the college moved to a new building and became St Thomas of Aquin's High School.

In 1891, the Sisters of Mercy in Scotland expanded and bought the ruined remains of a pre-Reformation Franciscan monastery in Elgin, Moray, they restored them and it became Greyfriars Sisters of Mercy Convent in Elgin.

In 1992, the general chapter of the Sisters of Mercy designated St Catharine's Convent a Mercy Centre. It has the mission of supporting the local homeless and disadvantaged population of the city. As of 2022, it welcomes up to 200 people a day. On 11 July 2022, its director Sister Aelred Timmins was given an honorary doctorate by the University of Edinburgh in recognition of the centre's work.

title: St Catherine's Argyle Church

abstract: St. Catherine's Argyle, or St. Cath's, is a Church of Scotland church located in the Grange, Edinburgh. The Scottish churchman and poet Horatius Bonar was its first minister. The present St Catherine's Argyle congregation was formed in 1968 from the union of two local churches - St Catherine's in the Grange and the Argyle Place United Presbyterian Church. The present building is that which was built by Chalmers Memorial Church, which first opened its doors on the 6th December 1866. Built of grey stone, with several pink granite pillars, a proposed steeple to the East of the building was never completed, though the interior of the building has been repeatedly modernised. Most notably so in the early late 1960s when the union of St Catherine's with Argyle Place was completed. Initially plans would have seen the current St Catherine's building remodelled as halls for the church, with the Argyle Place church functioning as the main centre of worship. A devastating fire at the Argyle Place Church building, however, saw the St Catherine's building established as the ongoing centre of worship, though the building still also remains a busy hub of community bookings to this day. In April 2008 the Rev. Victor Laidlaw retired after a 33 year long ministry to the congregation and parish. The present minister is the Rev. Stuart Irvin.

title: St. George Melkite Catholic Church

abstract: St. George Melkite Catholic Church is a Melkite Greek Catholic Church, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The church was built in 1917 to serve the needs of the Syrian-Lebanese community who migrated to Milwaukee after the Chicago World's Fair of 1892. It is the second oldest Melkite church in the United States. Syrian immigrants began to arrive in Milwaukee in 1895, settling in the neighborhood that surrounds the current church. Though many had grown up in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, they didn't speak English or Latin, so weren't a fit for nearby Roman Catholic parishes. In 1911 Reverend Timothy Jock was assigned to the Syrians, holding services in a former dance hall. In 1915 the congregation began to worship in a house at 1615 West State. Shortly after, they began planning a new church. It was designed by architect Erhard Brielmaier with St. George Church of Ain-Berdel, Lebanon in mind. The resulting building is one story, with a gable roof and tall windows behind the facade that are conventional for a Wisconsin church. But the facade has a Byzantine flavor, with the shaped parapet wall and the three bulbous domes.

# St. George Municipal Airport

**St. George Municipal Airport** (IATA: **SGU**, ICAO: **KSGU**, FAA LID: **SGU**) was a public airport in St. George, serving southern Utah, until 13 January 2011. It was used for general aviation and by St. George-based SkyWest Airlines on behalf of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. SkyWest has served St. George since its founding in 1972. SkyWest, which is now one of the largest regional airlines in the world, continues to be based in St. George.

## Replacement airport

The prospect of a new airport for the region had been around for many years. The old St. George Municipal Airport, located on top of a mesa, was land-locked and had no room for expansion. The runway and terminal were too small for larger aircraft. With the rapid growth of the area and tourism increasing, a new airport became essential.

The new St. George Regional Airport (37°02′11″N 113°30′37″W / 37.03639°N 113.51028°W / 37.03639; -113.51028 (St. George Municipal Airport (2011-present))) was built about 6 miles southeast of downtown at the site of an abandoned airfield, which had not seen air traffic since 1961 and most recently has been used for vehicle drag racing and radio controlled aircraft.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was completed in August 2006. The study concluded the impact on the environment and noise pollution would be minimal. Plans for the new airport include a single runway usable by regional jets and larger airliners. It is initially 9,300 by 150 feet, with plans for the runway to be extended to 11,500 ft. The new airport includes a precision instrument approach, which the old airport did not have.

The new airport has been partially funded by grants from the Federal Aviation Administration totaling US$24.2 million. The project was expected to cost between $170 million and $190 million. The city broke ground on the new site in October 2008, and the new airport opened on January 13, 2011.

## Facilities

The 274-acre (111 ha) facility included a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) terminal. It had one asphalt runway, 16/34, 6,606 feet (2,014 m) long.

In the year ending November 30, 2008 the airport had 62,210 aircraft operations, average 170 per day: 72% general aviation, 15% air taxi, 13 scheduled commercial, and \<1% military. 177 aircraft were then based at this airport: 85% single-engine, 7% multi-engine, 2% jet, 4% helicopter, 1% glider and 1% ultralight.

## Airlines

On January 13, 2011, all airline flights moved to the new St. George Municipal Airport, which has since been renamed St. George Regional Airport.

The old airport was served by SkyWest Airlines operating as the Delta Connection with flights to Salt Lake City and also by United Express flights operated by SkyWest to Los Angeles with Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner and/or Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia turboprops being operated on both services. From 1958 to 1960 Bonanza Air Lines Douglas DC-3s flew to Salt Lake City via stops in Cedar City and Provo, and also to Phoenix, Arizona via Prescott. After 1960, Bonanza Fairchild F-27 turboprops only served the Cedar City Regional Airport as the St. George airfield was deemed too small for the F-27. On June 19, 1972 SkyWest began flying between St. George and Salt Lake City via a stop in Cedar City.

St John's is a Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) network church.

## History

In the Norman era, Slaugham and Cuckfield were the most important places in the north of the county of Sussex. When Crawley first started to develop as a village in the 13th century, it was in the parish of Slaugham in the Hundred of Buttinghill (hundreds were ancient divisions of land covering several parishes). As the new village was distant from the parish church at Slaugham (St Mary's), several miles south, a stone church was built as a chapel of ease. It is known to have existed before 1267, when it was passed on in a will, and it was still the daughter church of Slaugham in 1291; but by the early 15th century it was referred to as a "free" church and a "permanent chantry". The parish of Crawley was therefore established separate from Slaugham at some point, probably by the end of the 14th century, and St John the Baptist's was regarded as its parish church by the time chantries were abolished in the 1540s. Crawley was a small, very narrow, split parish, and did not cover the whole of the village of Crawley: the boundary between it and the parish of Ifield—and between the Hundred of Buttinghill and the Hundred of Burbeach, in which Ifield lay—ran up the middle of the High Street. The detached part of Crawley parish consisted of heavily forested land and one farm near Pease Pottage. The total area of the parish was less than 800 acres (300 ha); Ifield parish was six times larger, in contrast.

The first additions to the structure came in the 15th century, when a tall tower was added at the western end, the windows in the nave were enlarged and a rood screen was installed between the chancel and the nave. The nave roof was also rebuilt at this time, and the earliest surviving memorial carvings and stones in the church are also 15th-century.

By the 16th century, Crawley's development into a thriving market village meant that its parish was much more important than that of Slaugham, and the connection between their two churches was legally severed. At least 150 people regularly attended the church, but its income was modest and priests frequently moved on to richer parishes. The building fell into disrepair in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the Chichester Diocesan Survey of 1724, it gives:
"4 bells, but onely one in order, 3 being crackt". These bells were melted down, and Thomas Lester of Whitechapel cast 2 bells out of them in 1742. The treble and tenor weighed 3-3-15cwt and 6-0-11cwt respectively. They were inscribed:
1 (Treble): THOMAS LESTER OF LONDON MADE ME 1742 / FRANCIS SMITH CH WARDEN
2 (Tenor) : FRANCIS SMITH CH WARDEN 1742 T.L. FECIT
Lester (master of the Whitechapel foundry between 1738 - 1769) gave Sussex many bells, our closest surviving examples are at Horsham, St Mary the Virgin.

Major changes took place in the 19th century. The tower partially rebuilt and heightened by 1814, although the original stone was reused. Some more work took place in 1845, but the greatest changes happened in 1879 and 1880. A new north aisle was added, a porch was built on the north side, the chancel was completely rebuilt and reordered, and an organ chamber was built. Nikolaus Pevsner has criticised the resulting appearance of the church, calling it "dully Victorian" and noting that its best feature is the unrestored 15th-century nave roof.

At the same time, the church decided to restore their church bells. The two bells by Lester became cracked, and their frame had rotted away. It was decided to install a new peal of 8 bells in the tower by the late Croydon firm Gillett, Bland & Company. The bells are inscribed as follows (A / denotes the end of line):
1 (Treble): CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & Co, CROYDON, 1880. / GLORY
2: CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & Co, CROYDON, 1880. / SIR . W . W . BURRELL / HONOUR
3: CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & Co, CROYDON, 1880. / PRAISE
4: CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & CO, CROYDON, 1880. / THANKSGIVING
5: CAST BY GILLETT, bLAND & CO, CROYDON, 1880. / JOY
6: CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & CO, CROYDON, 1880. / SIR . R . B . LENNARD / BROTHERLY LOVE
7: CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & CO, CROYDON, 1880. / J . B . LENNARD RECTOR / WORSHIP
8 (Tenor): CAST BY GILLETT, BLAND & CO, BELL FOUNDERS & CLOCK MAKERS CROYDON 1880 / R LODER / PRAYER
Bell 8 also has a few floral ornaments inscribed. The bells are hung in an oak bell frame arranged in what's known as an 8.3 layout.
In 1931, bell 3 was recast by Mears & Stainbank after it cracked. At the same time, the tenor was rehung on plain bearings. The rest of the bells were rehung on ball bearings 4 years later by John Taylor & Co. Some of the wheels were replaced in 1985, and the 5th was rehung on a new headstock by Whitechapel in 1999. When the bells were restored in 1880, an Ellacombe and Seage's apparatus were installed so that the bells could be controlled by 1 person, and that they could be rung in silence.

The church's location just east of the High Street meant that it was very close to the boundary of Ifield parish. People who lived on or around the west side of the High Street would often attend St John the Baptist's although their parish church was St Margaret's. One such worshipper was Mark Lemon, founding editor of the satirical magazine *Punch*. Having adopted Crawley as his home town, he lived at Vine Cottage on the west side of the High Street, and regularly attended St John the Baptist's instead of St Margaret's. However, his substantial girth caused him problems: he had to sit in the gallery because there were no pews large enough to accommodate him in the nave.

The church, graveyard and church walk are reportedly haunted a number of paranormal sightings have happened over the years. The churchyard contains the war graves of two soldiers of World War I and an airman of World War II.

## Architecture

The church is built of Sussex limestone. The chancel roof is tiled, but the rest of the church is roofed with slabs of local stone. The south wall of the nave is original, although it has some 15th-century alterations; the nave ceiling is also from this era, and features wind bracing and tie beams. The tower, rebuilt in the 19th century, is in three stages and features mediaeval carvings. The pulpit is 17th-century; the altar rails are from that century or early in the 18th. There is some stained glass in the 19th-century north aisle and the east end of the chancel. The oldest internal fixture is the marble font, which is 13th-century.

## The parish

In October 2017, the parish size was reduced to include Crawley town centre, its northernmost point being where Kilnmead road meets the London road, and southernmost where Goffs Park road meets the Brighton Road.

The previous parish covered by the church was much larger than the ancient parish of Crawley. It covered most of the town west and north of the railway line between Gatwick Airport and Crawley railway stations, and up to the boundary of the airport. The boundary was defined by the A23 London Road from its junction with the Horsham Road in Southgate to the edge of the Manor Royal industrial estate at County Oak; the southern perimeter road of Gatwick Airport—incorporating all the land and buildings in the former village of Lowfield Heath; some farmland and residential development east of the railway line at Tinsley Green; the railway line from Tinsley Green to Southgate Avenue, near Crawley railway station; and the northern part of the Southgate neighbourhood.

There are five extant churches in the parish. St Peter's in West Green predates the New Town, having been built between 1892 and 1893 to a design by architect W. Hilton Nash. Richard Cook, owner of one of Crawley's main building firms, constructed it. It replaced a chapel of ease to St Margaret's Church, Ifield: although West Green was in the parish of Ifield at the time, it was remote from the parish church. Although the Diocese of Chichester would not pay for a separate church, it accepted St Peter's, which was built with private money, when it was offered. The church later gained its own parish, which was then absorbed by the parish of St John the Baptist. St Elizabeth's in the centre of the Northgate neighbourhood was built in 1965, and like St John the Baptist's follows a "Modern Catholic" style of worship. St Richard's is another modern church serving the Three Bridges neighbourhood. A fifth church, St Michael and All Angels, is notionally within the parish but is no longer used for Anglican worship. William Burges designed and built this yellow sandstone 13th century-style French Gothic church in 1867 to serve the village of Lowfield Heath, which was then in the parish of Charlwood in Surrey. The establishment and rapid development of Gatwick Airport next to Lowfield Heath swamped the small village, eventually destroying it: all buildings except the church, which was listed at Grade II\* in 1948, were demolished to make way for warehouses and extensions to the airport boundary. (The church is approximately 500 feet (150 m) from the runway.) The Diocese of Chichester stopped using the church for services in 2004; in March 2008 it allowed a Seventh-day Adventist congregation to use the building as its place of worship. Horley Seventh-Day Adventist Church was formed as a church plant in May 2005 and was formally established in January 2008.

## The Church Today

In September 2017 a team led by Steve and Liz Burston from St Peter's Brighton began a new phase in the life of St John's. There are a variety of services, traditional and informal, contemporary services in order to seek to honour the past, navigate the present and build for the future.

St John's Crawley run an Alpha course every term, providing an opportunity to freely discuss some of the bigger questions of life, faith and purpose within a Christian context. They also run social outreach programmes, such as The Bridge Café and Turning Point. As well as Sunday services, there are groups that meet throughout the week, seeking to deepen faith and grow in community. As a church St John's firmly believe in the Christian witness of churches working together across Crawley, both in social mission and prayer. As a result, prayer and church unity are at the heart of their values.

**St James’ Church, Riddings** is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Riddings, Derbyshire.

## History

The church was built in 1832 - 1833 by Francis Octavius Bedford, for the Oakes family of Riddings House. Many of the locals were dissenters and would not pay the amount of £200 required by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry for his blessing, so its consecration was delayed until 28 June 1834.

The church was restored and enlarged between 1884 and 1885 when the chancel was added. The old pews were taken away and the side galleries taken down. A reredos was given by Mr. R.G. Lomas of Derby. The church was re-opened by the Bishop of Southwell on 8 April 1885.
