"Featuring many previously unpublished photographs, Morrissey: Alone and Palely Loitering is a portrait of Morrissey at his creative peak."
This is Morrissey as you've never seen him before. Journey through hundreds of Kevin Cummins' renowned, era-defining images, taken over a ten-year period in locations all over the world, accompanied by recollections from the author on his time with Morrissey and the artistic process of collaborating with him. Intimate, creative and surprising, this is a document of an artist at the height of his powers.
Ranging from unseen intimate portraits and on-tour reportage to boisterous on-stage pictures taken during live performances around the world, the photographs in Morrissey: Alone and Palely Loitering were taken between 1983 and 1994, when Morrissey was creating some of his best-loved work.
If you're interested in the alternative music scene, we also recommend: So It Goes by Kevin Cummins and Telling Stories by Tim Burgess
Kevin Cummins is an internationally renowned British rock photographer, known for his collaborations with Mick Jagger, Ian Curtis, Morrissey, The Smiths, Bowie, Joy Division and more. He was chief photographer at the New Musical Express for ten years, then the world's biggest selling rock weekly. His portraits feature in the collections of The National Portrait Gallery and The V&A. Kevin has also published several critically acclaimed monographs on the artists with whom he has worked.
"Kevin's photographs have shaped the way fans perceive their idols." -Noel Gallagher

A 90km Comrades marathon journey
facebookOpens a new window twitterOpens a new window
Its been 9 weeks since my first ever Comrades marathon run. A run that I will never forget. It was also a run that broke my heart but also taught me so much about myself. Finally, I am ready to write about the run known as " The greatest human race "
My first ever Comrades run took everything out of me. It took 1 year of consistent training. up to 3000kms of running and commitment that i never knew I even had. It taught me so much about myself and brought me closer to my running friends that iv'e ever been. It was the hardest but greatest run of my life.
My Comrades dream started 3 years ago when I first got into running. It is a KZN based run and one of the most iconic runs in the world. The route is a 90km road run from PMB to Durban ( alternating each year ) and has such a rich history behind it. If you are a South African and you love running, then Comrades is almost seen as a right of passage. My Comrades dreams were spoilt back in 2019 by Covid and forced me to postpone my first ever attempt for 2 years, which in hindsight was the best thing that could have ever happened to me as it allowed me the time to develop my running. In those 2 years I managed to improve my marathon time from a PB of 3h:45m to 2h:45m. This alone gave me huge confidence and showed me that I potentially had the ability to run an iconic silver medal at the 2022 Down run.
A silver medal is tough - It may not seem so tough when you realise the average pack is only 5 minutes per km, but that is for 90kms. Our goal was not just a silver medal though, but rather a sub 7 hour which gives you an average pace of around 4:30 per km, and that was our goal. As mentioned in the beginning, this goal took a huge amount of training and pushed me to my absolute limit.
Now for the tough part. Even though I had trained properly, spent hours on the road and prepared so well for the race. Come race day, my body failed me and I bombed out at about 50kms. Leaving the most painful 40Kms iv'e ever had to run ahead of me. That was the true test of my mental and physical strength. The power that I had to create in my mind and body to not give up was unbelievable and I am so proud of myself for not quitting. Even when I knew that my goal had been missed and all my hard work was not going to to be worth it, I still knew that finishing was my main objective on that day.
The lesson I learnt that day is to first never ever give up, even if you are not going to achieve what you set out to do. Secondly and most importantly, enjoy running for all the reasons you started running. Putting too much pressure on yourself to constantly break records and beat your best is great, but the most important thing is enjoying your running journey.
I will be back to conquer my Comrades goal, but do it in a way that allows me to run it they way that I envision and do it because I truly love the sport of running.

Marathon Ultra Marathon Half Marathon 10k
The Journey to my first ever comrades marathon.
by David Fick / Jul. 18, 2022
South Africas Comrades Marathon is arguably one of the most famous ultra marathons in the entire world. Steeped in history, this race is 100 years old and has one hell of a story to tell. Nowadays, the race attracts upwards of 20 000 runners who put themselves through hell to get a finishers medal of this 90km race from Durban to Pietermaritzburg (changing direction each year).There is a reason they call our beloved Comrades marathon "the ultimate human race" & I am on a mission to find out why.
One Team, One Mission, United.
Its not every day that you find yourself in a foreign country surrounded by people who are all so different but so similar at the same time.
Can failure lead to success ??
by David Fick / Mar. 29, 2022
2021 was an amazing year for my running career. Almost every single goal I set out to achieve was smashed and I was riding high all the way through the year. My highlights of the year included 2 x back to back sub 3 marathons and a all time best of 2h 45m at the Cape town marathon in CPT. But as the saying goes, " All good things must come to and end " right ?
Find your burning passion.
by David Fick / Sep. 23, 2021
Do you ever look at someone and think, wow, I really wish I could be that happy. I bet you have. Right ? This is actually extremely common for a lot of people. And often, it's because the person you are comparing yourself too has found their burning passion in life. Not a hobby or a skill. But something that ignites their very inner being and makes them the best possible version of themselves. This is called a " Burning passion " and I'm going to tell you how i found mine.
ASICS NOVABLASTS are made for a Personal Best.
The ASICS NOVABLASTS have completely blown me away. Not only are they the best looking shoe to date but they are also the shoe that helped me finally achieve my sub 17 minute 5000m personal best. In a time of 16 minutes and 57 seconds, these gorgeous shoes bolstered me through and helped me smash my PB.
SA Summit Adventure - From the lowest to the highest point in South Africa.
by David Fick / Jun. 25, 2021
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to physically move your body from the very ocean behind Moses Mabhida on the east coast of Durban all the way up to the top of Maffadi peak in Giants castle ? The highest point in South Africa ? The answer to that question would most likely be a resounding NO, but for 4 die hard trail runners, the idea was hatched and the mission was a go. And I had the absolute pleasure of following them on their journey. And what a journey it was.
Kings Park Athletic Stadium: Home of KZN athletics
Nestled in-between Moses Mabhida Stadium & Jonsson Kings Park Stadium ( Home of the Sharks ), the Kings Park Athletics Stadium is one of the most well positioned and iconic destinations in KZN. The beauty of this stadium is breath taking & the synthetic red track lanes have hosted some incredible events over the years. It truly is a hidden gem along Durban's golden mile.

WACL History
History of WACL – 2000s
About WACL Membership Last Updated: Sep 22, 2021
We endeavour to grow WACL's membership to reflect the diversity of our industry by adding new members who lead by example and join us in forwarding our purpose to accelerate gender equality for the benefit of all.
A bit about the Club
We are an active club of influential women in marketing, media, the creative industries and communications. We are purpose driven - our aim is to accelerate gender equality for the benefit of all.
As leaders, we are determined to use our power and influence to change our own workplaces, in the work that we do, and the communities we operate in.
As a Club, we come together to support each other, to learn from each other, and to form lasting relationships and friendships.
Our goal is to affect change. To create working places and a society where everyone has the same access, opportunity, experience and recognition to succeed in life.
We believe everyone's contribution should be valued and respected to create cultures of belonging in our workplaces.
We advocate for transparent reporting, candour amongst ourselves and embrace and support women in all life stages.
To do this, we recognise that for all of us to be equal, those women who are further ahead than others must use their privilege to help lift others up.
We campaign for change to drive gender equality. Recent work has included campaigns to close the Gender Pay Gap, address the representation of women in the media and eradicate sexual harassment in our industry via our support for timeTo. Our 2020/21 campaigning focus has been to encourage companies & organisations to be #FlexibleFirst as we know one of the biggest levers of change that will help us deliver equality in the workplace is to measure people on output & not hours spent and enable them to be architects of their own ways of working.
We inspire our members with thought leadership events and give them opportunities to meet their peers and broaden their networks.
We support women in the industry via sponsorship, training and mentorship. And we fundraise for industry charities for the benefit of all.
What we expect from our members:
We want our members to be active, to lean in and to use their influence in their own businesses to make a difference
We want our members to be active participants in the club's activities, events and campaigns, and to be proud advocates of WACL to further increase our collective sphere of influence
We want our members to positively check and challenge what we are doing and where we are going.

The decision of one man seems to change the course of the day for many. But was change coming, anyway?
This collection of claustrophobic stage dramas begins with 'Chalk for Cheese', a play about guilt and reconciliation between a father and son, with a distinctly peculiar resolution. 'Stitching the Cherry' is a three-act family drama, again centered on unfinished business, this time between two siblings. The third, 'Walking Through Wire', tackles the subject of homosexuality during World War Two.
Death may catch up with you at any time. Who knows, perhaps this is the moment. Or, it may be much closer than you have ever expected. These lines may be the last opportunity, the last reminder, the last warning before death comes upon you. as you proceed with these lines, you can never know that you will still be alive in the next hour.
What is the meaning of destiny? Does your soul decide its lessons before incarnation? Does divine timing exist or are the major events in your life due to your choices? The author explores all of these choices throughout a tumultuous and emotional time in her life, when she had to let go of all control and just trust in the Universe. Her life depended on it.
These intriguing and true stories of synchronicity (meaningful coincidence) entertain as they enlighten us about the mysterious ways God intervenes in our lives. 'Do you think you can know what truth really is if you never first question or challenge why it is called truth?' is just one of several soul searching questions posed in the book to generate telling dialogue with yourself and others.
Is life just a matter of happenstance and coincidence...or is there something more at play in peoples' lives? That is what you are asked to decide as you follow the life of a charismatic young man born to immigrant parents in 1908 that sees him through a strict upbringing, with unusual interests that lead him to an unwanted marriage ending in divorce.
This is a narrative in first person about love staying true through many years. It is the first story I ever told, and is told through the eyes of a journalist named Ken Ushido. In a way, I guess it's also a story about fate and watches.
Life is a bus journey. Or is it a lottery, where you select your own numbers or even make a random choice? Whichever, the odds do not change. What does matter, however, is what you do with the ticket. Anita Smith left hers on the bus.

Demand The Immediate Resignations of Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Demand The Immediate Resignation of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
Click here to share this important message on Facebook.
View this urgent message from PJTN Founder Laurie Cardoza-Moore:
Today I am emphatically calling on all PJTN "Watchmen" and all concerned Americans to join "The Million Signature March," a national petition to demand the immediate resignation of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
UPDATE: In the cases of Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib, these three uneducated Congresswomen who arose from the anti-Semitic, un-American, Women's March are waging an unholy war in Congress to belittle the Holocaust, normalize anti-Semitism, mainstream anti-Americanism and whitewash Islamism. We the people, will not idly stand by as subversive forces openly work to destroy our country from within.
Time is urgent! When news broke last week of her shameful anti-Semitic messaging, President Trump called for her to resign from her Congressional seat. Even her own Democrat colleagues echoed Speaker Nancy Pelosi's tepid call for Omar to apologize.
Fast forward to today:
Where is the follow-up outrage to demand her resignation?
Where is the investigative reporting to demand answers to why an unrepentant anti-Semite and supporter of America's enemies has been given a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee?
AND Where is Omar today… Laughing in the face of her detractors—including President Trump—and still privy to the classified information in the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The media has buried the story and moved on, hoping we will follow their lead! We cannot be silent in the face of an elected official who poses a threat to our very national security!
Ilhan Omar must learn that concerned Americans such as you and me stand firmly with our Jewish brethren. We must stand in solidarity to affirm that she will not be allowed to use the heart of American democracy and freedom to defame God's chosen people and God's chosen land.
Do we have valid reasons to know that she is a threat to our national security?
YES—and let me outline why:
Omar has ties to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist fundraising operation in the history of the U.S.
Omar is due to speak this month at a fundraising event for Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA), an affiliate of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), the largest international Islamic charity in the world. The connections between the IRUSA, the IRW and terrorism should raise a red flag. In 1999, the IRW accepted a $50,000 check from Osama Bin Laden. In 2006, Israel arrested its project coordinator in Gaza office for funneling money to Hamas. In June 2014, Israel officially declared the organization to be illegal and banned it from operating in Israel and the Palestinian territories. In November 2014, the United Arab Emirates declared the IRW to be a terrorist group.
To add more fuel to the fire of her IRUSA speaking engagement, she will be speaking alongside senior IRUSA official Yousef Abdallah, who was widely criticized in 2017 after the Middle East Forum found he had expressed violently anti-Semitic ideas on his social media accounts.
The indication of her true politics came when she lashed out against Israel by tweeting in 2012:
"Israel has hypnotized the world. May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."
Rep. Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic messaging has also brought to light her ties to several Muslim Brotherhood front groups. We are now calling on the Justice Department to launch a full and thorough investigation into this matter of national security.
WE must take action today!
Sign the petition and share the petition link and my video message within your family, friends, and social media contacts.
Our goal of one million signatures is within our reach.
Let your voice be heard and sign the petition today!
I demand the immediate resignations of Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Revitalization is a David Croll speciality. Fifteen years ago, he was appointed Principal of Wilmorton Tertiary College, which had been the subject of a major inquiry into its management. Against all odds, he quickly converted the failing college into a successful institution. In 2002, he became principal of Derby College, formed by the merger of his own college and those at Mackworth and Broomfield. In no time at all, he was hatching a plan to convert a vast complex of abandoned and crumbling Victorian railway works into the flagship campus of the new institution. Thanks to his vision, together with inspired design from Maber Architects and superb construction from Bowmer & Kirkland, the historic buildings have been rescued from near collapse and transformed into an award-winning campus.
The old railway works, which are located next to Derbys mainline train station, include the Carriage Shop, which was used, as its name implies, for the manufacture and repair of railway carriages, the magnificent Grade II* listed Roundhouse, which was built to facilitate the repair of locomotives, and an imposing three-storey office block that is wrapped around the north-west quadrant of the Roundhouse. A short distance from these three inter-linked buildings, there is the old Engine House.
I met David Croll in his room in the restored office block, which has a faade that would not be out of place on a country house, and began our conversation by asking him about the time when he took on his first revitalization project at Wilmorton. The Secretary of State for Education had responded to the findings of the inquiry into the college by insisting on a completely new governing body, and David had to convince the new governors that an inversion of traditional management styles was needed to turn around the institution. Summing up his approach to management, he said: Its my job to service the all-important interface between the front-line staff and the learners. Im here to serve everyone in the college and enable them to realise their potential.
Derby College is one of the largest further education colleges in England, with 4,000 full-time and 16,000 part-time students. David has also established a Corporate College as a skills provider to help employers maintain their competitive edge. The dedication of the students to their studies was evident in every department that I visited and the enthusiasm of the staff was plain to see. In the catering department, I encountered Shirley Sweeney, who was tutoring some special needs students in pastry-making. Although she still has a house in Cornwall, Shirley accepted a post in faraway Derby because she was convinced that David would give her the chance to fulfil an ambition to create the best centre for culinary art in the country.
Just as he sees and fosters potential in his staff and students, David could see potential in the old railway works, even though rainwater was pouring through the roofs on his first tour of the dilapidated buildings and some of the rooms were open to the elements and infested with pigeon droppings. Two talented men have worked closely with David to make the buildings fit for a new purpose without losing their historic character: architect Ian Harris of Maber and contracts manager Mike Atkinson of Bowmer and Kirkland.
Ian and Mike met me in the Roundhouse, which is actually a 16-sided polygon with 16 spoke-like wells emanating from a central turntable, where locomotives were manoeuvred for repair. When Ian and Mike took on the project, all the windows were broken, ten of the sixteen roof trusses had failed and the dome was leaking. This magnificent building, which was constructed in 1839 and is the oldest surviving railway roundhouse in the country, now serves as the social hub of the campus, as well as a spectacular venue for functions. The rim of the railway turntable is still clearly visible at its centre; a glass panel has been placed over one of the engine wells to reveal its original purpose; the vaulting has been restored to its former glory and a new lantern has been created at the apex of the domed roof.
Before restoration work began, the well between the Roundhouse and the adjoining three-storey office block was filled with rubble and mud, but subsequent excavation revealed a York-stone floor, which now forms a sunken patio that is open to the sky and popular as a gathering place in good weather. The Roundhouse is also linked to the Carriage Shop, which has been imaginatively converted into a library. The original shell of the building has been preserved by housing the book shelves, computers and study desks in a huge oblong pod that is set some distance in from the old walls and is framed by 30ft-high glass panels, which are covered by an etching of the musical score for the tune Steam Train Hornpipe. The space between the Carriage Shop and the old Engine House has been filled by the brand-new Kirtley Building. Ian Harris had no qualms about plugging this gap with a thoroughly modern edifice, because his approach to conservation and restoration follows the William Morris principle of letting the old be old and the new be new. However, Ians new building has many subtle references to the original purpose of the neighbouring Victorian structures, most noticeably in its spectacular external cladding. This is made of double-layered chameleon glass, which is seen to change colour by pedestrians as they walk past the building. These changes in colour create an impression of rapid movement, which could be seen as a reference to the revolution in movement brought about by the coming of the railways.
The three-colour palette used for internal fittings is consistent throughout both the new-builds and the restored Victorian structures. Yellow echoes the colour of the huge lifting cranes that were used in the workshops, while orange and blue match the colours of the original brickwork. Ians new building is linked to the old Engine House by a glazed breathing space with funky graphics that pay homage to railway engineer Matthew Kirtley and the configuration of the old boiler room within the Engine House has been cleverly preserved by Mike Atkinson, who has threaded new fittings around the original structures.
The most controversial part of the new campus is a second new-build, which takes the form of a huge, freestanding glass box with a prominent projecting canopy. Known as the Stephenson Building and designed to accommodate the hairdressing and beauty therapy departments of the college, it has much more in common with Norman Fosters Carr dArt in Nmes than it has with any other building on the Derby site. However, Ian points out that it was cheap to build and has an energy-efficiency that makes up for the poor energy efficiency of the Victorian buildings. A three-storey graphic inside the building depicts George Stephenson, inventor of the Rocket locomotive, whose head appears to look out from the third floor across a large courtyard to the workshops where some of the earliest locomotives were repaired. There is no doubt that the 48 million restoration and development of the Roundhouse site was a labour of love for Mabers architect and Bowmer and Kirklands construction team. Ian Harris talks of the project as a realisation of his passion for constructive conservation and Mike Atkinson reports that all his workmen were inspired in their work by the craftsmanship of the Victorians. Mike is particularly pleased to have worked on this final phase in the regeneration of the Pride Park area because he was involved in the construction of Derby Countys stadium at the very beginning of that regeneration. Some construction students of the college worked on the restoration project and the respect shown for the buildings by all the current students was very apparent to me as I toured the facilities. Needless to say, David Croll is absolutely delighted with his new campus.
Last October, this inspirational combination of restoration and contemporary construction was given two Construction Excellence awards by the East Midlands Centre for Constructing the Built Environment (EMCBE). It was named Project of the Year and Heritage Project of the Year at a ceremony held, appropriately enough, in the restored Roundhouse, the most spectacular symbol of the all-round excellence of a project that has seen Derbys historic railway centre made fit for a worthy new purpose.


Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri on Her New Life in Paris: " I Am Like a Tourist in Diorland"
This is the first time I've been based in Paris, and although I'm familiar with the city, there's still so much to discover. I walk to work every day, often through the Jardin du Luxembourgh, across the street from my apartment. It's really nice to wake up and stroll into the gardens. I can watch people run or read a book in a little café nearby.
Normally I have a coffee outside at a café, but it's too soon for me to have a specific routine because I am still exploring this company. I am like a tourist in Diorland. I have to study the heritage and archives, and I don't even understand all the buildings. We speak three languages here—French, English, and Italian—so it's always exciting to see another point of view, and in France there is this idea of couture that you feel everywhere.
I have to design in a sophisticated way to achieve what I want.
Dior is a big factor, and step-by-step we arrive at a collection. I start two months early because it's like making a film: You have an idea, find the location, decide on the models, and test the different areas of craftsmanship. Each detail helps tell the story.
Dior's historic offices have been home to its couture atelier since 1946.
When I design, I'm not alone in a closed room. I connect other elements that might be interesting because I am very open. There are probably more talented people who can do their work in two hours, but I'm not like them. I choose colors and materials and have arguments about bags and shoes. We have a big buffet during the fittings, and there is always a debate about that too. Eating in Paris is a hard thing for an Italian. Can't we have something simple? A salad? Some rice?
"I didn't want to do a reference to the red carpet," Chiuri says of taking her resort 2018 show to L.A. "People also come here for the beautiful weather."
I think a lot about how fashion speaks to women. When I arrived here, everyone said Dior is a feminine brand, but I wondered, "What does that mean today?" Christian Dior said women are like flowers, but we have to find a different way to communicate. What do women think now? What do they want? I think they want opportunity.
When I had doubts about moving to Dior, my family really supported me. It is difficult to change roles and test yourself, but they said, "Don't worry!"
I like to think of Georgia O'Keeffe as this shamanistic woman, as she would go around in the desert in a kimono-like coat.
In the past, fashion imposed its point of view on women, but the new generation see it as a way to express themselves. They want to use clothes as a means to freedom, with no rules. As a designer, I think about how my work can support a positive message and help spread more tolerance, hopefully.
During the week I live alone in Paris, so I go out at night and visit the museums and libraries. What am I going to do, stay at home and look at a wall? There are some restaurants I like, but the food is too rich and has too much sauce, so I decided to start cooking. It's impossible not to. I'm too much of an Italian!
My husband [shirtmaker Paolo Regini] and I love to drive in the Southwestern United States because with all the big roads and space, it's safer to go fast.
I know it's not scientific, but I like astrology. I'm an Aquarius, just like Mr. Dior. We are curious, not nostalgic.
I love massages! There's a beautiful Dior spa right in front of our office.
REMIX: Chiuri covered modernism, feminism and prehistoricism in a single cruise collection. "You'll find some elements that work together in the moment,' she says.
"I found a beautiful dress in the archives inspired by the Lascaux cave paintings, but I wanted to create that in jacquard rather than as a print."
As told to Eric Wilson.

The shooting of Chris Kaba
Find out what happened as churches stand with grieving community
Rev Dr Israel Oluwole Olofinjana

Since the death of Chris Kaba, churches and faith-based organisations have appealed for compassion and justice for a wounded community, as they reel in the wake of the Metropolitan Police-related shooting in Streatham Hill, south London on 5 September 2022.
Since that date, members of the Racial Justice Advocacy Forum (RJAF), the National Church Leaders Forum, the Evangelical Alliance, the Ascension Trust and the London Baptist Association have been meeting to hear the concerns of the bereaved family and the wider community, offering pastoral support in their grief, and solidarity in their search for answers. Chris, who was a well-known musician, was soon to become a father for the first time, which only adds to the tragedy.
Many people have been asking what happened, what's going to happen and how might we best respond.
So, here's what we know so far
Mr Kaba, who was 24, died as a result of a firearms incident involving the police at about 22:00 BST. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), who will be investigating the shooting, said that no "non-police issue firearm" had been found following a detailed search of the car and surrounding area. As a result, Mr Kaba's family have raised the concern that the killing was the result of racial bias rather than actual threat.
In response to the shooting, Commander Alexis Boon, from the Met Police, said: "I understand that this incident is extremely concerning and I would like to reassure the community that the Met is co-operating fully with the IOPC (Independent Office for Police Conduct) as they carry out a thorough and independent investigation." A week after Mr Kaba's death, which is now being treated as a homicide by the IOPC, the Met Assistant Commissioner Amanda Pearson said: "Following the death of Chris Kaba, the firearms officer involved has been suspended from duty."
Our commitment as churches
New Park Road (NPR) Baptist Church, which is located near to where the incident took place, has become a focal point for reflection, and its pastor, Rev Siaa-Liane Mathurin, and church worker, Rachel Swaby, have been liaising with community members, especially young people, who are both concerned and angry about the circumstances of the young man's demise. Rev Siaa-Liane made her church available to local residents on 8 September 2022 for reflection, prayer and pastoral support. On 12 September, a NPR-led vigil which involved Mr Kaba's family said prayers, laid flowers and kept a minute's silence at the site where the young man was killed.
Please join us in praying for the Kaba family, for Chris' friends and the wider community. In particular, pray for the many young people who are hurting and fearful, and the parents who are concerned for their welfare at this time.
We are appealing to the IOPC for a timely investigation in order to help restore confidence and reduce the rising tensions in the area. The Ascension Trust, which runs the Street Pastors and School Pastors initiatives, will be working with local churches to offer further pastoral assistance and advice to residents who are anxious about what has taken place. There are numerous churches and parachurch groups who have experience in working as conduits in communities that have been alienated from the police, and are offering support to those who are seeking to develop a dialogue around these concerns.
On 29 September 2022 from 7.30pm, there will be a webinar, hosted by the RJAF, that aims to better equip churches and communities to respond to critical incidents, and to engage with the police. Click here to find out more information.
This piece has been prepared by the Racial Justice Advocacy Forum, which draws its membership from Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, Baptists Together, Methodists, the United Reformed Church, Quakers, Sam Sharpe Project, Churches Together in England, the Ascension Trust, the Evangelical Alliance, The National Church Leaders Forum, Movement for Justice and Reconciliation, Christian Aid and the Salvation Army.

On Friday, September 8th, Communities in Schools of Washington (CIS) partnered with the Washington State Fair to collect school supplies for students in the CIS network. This is the second year fair participants were invited to provide a donation of new school supplies at the gold or red gate and receive free admission into the fair from 10:30am – 12:30pm immediately following the rodeo parade. Over 60 CIS volunteers helped collect school supplies and raise awareness for Communities In Schools programs.
This year, thanks to generous community donors, Communities In Schools of Washington successfully collected over 30,000 school supply items with an estimated value of $30,500. The proceeds were divided among Communities In Schools affiliates in Washington State and will provide support for students in over 18 different school districts.
CIS would like to provide a special thanks to the Washington State Fair and Peninsula Truck Lines, Inc. for their support.

The past week has not been a good one for President Trump. He's lost the house, is being sued by CNN for kicking a journalist out of the press gallery, refused to go to a WW1 Remembrance ceremony in France because his helicopter would have gotten wet and he's in a really bad mood. Some would even say he's cracking. So what does all that mean? Rachel Corbett joins Mia to work out if it's going to be ok this week….

We go on with a series of articles on backup and recovery of the mailbox database of the Exchange 2013 server. In the previous articles we showed how to back up the Exchange 2013 mailbox database and how to recover it into a special database (recovery database). Today we will consider the recovery of a certain mailbox (totally and separate folders) or single items (separate letter or mail folder) from a backup.
To recover mailboxes in Exchange 2013, the cmdlet New-MailboxRestoreRequest is used.
In this example the mailbox with the DisplayName "Alex Dudley" is recovered into the mailbox with the name "adudley" of the existing database. By default, the cmdlet New-MailboxRestoreRequest looks for the concurrent LegacyExchangeDNs in the mailbox database or checks matching of the X500 addresses. This is done to prevent the administrator to accidentally restore data into the wrong location. If you really have to restore the data into a different mailbox, you have to use the AllowLegacyDNMisMatch key.
When the recovery is over, a new folder with the contents of the recovered mailbox appears in the user box.
New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase RDB -SourceStoreMailbox "Alex Dudley" -TargetMailbox adudley -IncludeFolders "#Inbox#"
The -IncludeFolders key accepts the list of folders. The names of folders should be tagged with # (hash). For example, #SentItems#, #Contacts#, #Tasks#.
Restore-Mailbox -Identity IT-admin -RecoveryDatabase RDB -SubjectKeywords "windows server  2012 r2" -ContentKeywords "MAK key"

UVA College Republicans Angry With Decision of Charlottsville VA to Drop Jefferson's Birthday
"We are thoroughly disappointed by the decision, but not surprised"
Posted by Mike LaChance Saturday, July 6, 2019 at 11:30am 0 Comments
Everyone should be angry about this. American history is being erased before our eyes.
Charlottesville, Va. scraps Thomas Jefferson's b-day as paid holiday. UVA College Republicans are livid.
University of Virginia's College Republicans chapter slammed Charlottesville, Va. Friday for dropping former president and UVA founder Thomas Jefferson's birthday as a paid holiday for the city.
The student group told Campus Reform that the city's Monday decision was "ironic," given the celebration of July Fourth just days later. The city of Charlottesville, Jefferson's hometown, scrapped recognition of his birthday, replacing the paid holiday with Liberation and Freedom Day. Campus Reform could not confirm if Liberation and Freedom Day will be a paid holiday.
"We are thoroughly disappointed by the decision, but not surprised," UVA College Republicans President Matthew Nalls told Campus Reform. "Frankly, it's ironic that Charlottesville voted to drop Thomas Jefferson's birthday just to celebrate Independence Day a few days later — a holiday brought about in part by Jefferson."
The decision comes amid a vast movement to cover up the Founding Fathers, mostly because they had owned slaves in the past. The Washington Postreported that the San Francisco Board of Education recently moved to cover up a mural of George Washington at the local George Washington High School. Campus Reform previously covered the replacement of George the Colonial as George Washington University's mascot and the defacing of a Jefferson statue at Hofstra University.
"While Jefferson's legacy has clear faults, the city of Charlottesville ignored a clear opportunity to paint the entire story of his history. Instead, Charlottesville could have chosen to celebrate both his birthday and Liberation and Freedom Day," Nalls expressed. "Students would see the entire picture through this."

Further, the word "haus" is critical and intentional. An art house is a movie theater that specializes in artistic and experimental films that by nature are meant to do more than merely entertain-- which is how we feel about the pieces we create. The term 'house' wasn't quite right, but 'haus' was perfect as it pays homage to the famous bauhaus art movement, which combined craft and fine art.
The soul of Glyph Haus is magical, experimental, creative, of this earth, and of the boundless universe of our imaginations. We hope you'll find wonderment and join us in this personal art revolution.

One photo reveals big issue with Seattle's $15 minimum wage
By Dustin Hurst | Northwest Watchdog
It's easy enough to discuss what could happen under a controversial policy, but it's a little more difficult to provide evidence after enactment to prove a claim.
In the case of SeaTac and its newly minted $15-per-hour minimum wage, the proof comes from a single photo of a parking receipt:
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSANDS WORDS: Yep, that's a $6.93 'living wage surcharge' right there.
Northwest Watchdog called Masterpark to verify the authenticity of the receipt. Kevin, the attendant on duty Wednesday afternoon,confirmed the charge is real. To deal with the higher wage, enacted on Jan. 1, Masterpark is charging customers an additional 99 cents per parking day, a surcharge that comes on top of all other taxes and fees.
The Washington Policy Center, a free-market think tank, originally noticed the receipt and offered its own analysis of the situation.
"Contrary to what supporters claim, increasing the minimum wage does not create jobs and stimulate the economy," wrote Erin Shannon, the center's small business analyst. "The higher wages are not free money. The increased cost must either be absorbed by the employer, which is impossible for many who already operate on shoe-string profit margins, or it must be passed on to workers, in the form of reduced hours and benefits, and consumers, in the form of higher prices. Either way, someone pays."
Shannon calculated that the new surcharge amounts to an 8.25 percent tax hike for Masterpark's customers.
This should stand as a warning to Seattle, which just approved a $15-per-hour minimum wage this week.
This is just a taste of what's coming.


UHURU's propulsive pop anthem "Riddle" explodes with passionate lovelorn energy as the British duo navigate turbulent emotional waters.
Love is a mystery – a puzzle – a total enigma shrouded in mystique and uncertainty. You may think you know someone and totally understand them, but there are sure to be plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way – surprises you never see coming. You may even find yourself questioning your emotions, wondering if what you feel is really love at all. UHURU's propulsive pop anthem "Riddle" explodes with passionate lovelorn energy as the duo navigate turbulent emotional waters.
Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering "Riddle," the third single from emerging electronic duo UHURU (pronounced ooh-hoo-roo).The London-based duo of Connor Daniel and Robert Jones, UHURU (which means "freedom" in Swahili) sport an infectious electronic/pop sound heavily reminiscent of The Chainsmokers' or Chase & Status' stadium-sized anthems – except unlike those pairings, this duo truly does it all, and on a tight (if at all existent) budget. Having met in school and spent their university years perfecting their musical and production crafts, the British duo have evolved beyond what they've described as an "experimental studio project" into a full-on embrace of artistry – albeit one that is still very much in development.
Quickly following the June release of their bombastic sophomore song "Thirsty," the bouncy "Riddle" blends soulful modern R&B melodies with bright synthpop in a bombastic affair full of anthemic glitz and emotional glam.
Word to the wise: Love never makes sense.
A shining up-and-coming musical force, UHURU deliver radio-ready hits with pop perfect style. They take the perilous emotions of will they, won't they desire and confusion, blowing them up like they're the biggest (and only) thing in the world. Thematically, "Riddle" is somewhat akin to Justin Bieber's smash hit "What Do You Mean," insofar as communication breakdown is concerned. Otherwise, it's a standalone pop banger ready to douse you with euphoria.
UHURU have started strong, and continue to gain momentum with every passing release. This time around, they've proved their ability to blend personal meaning with soulful hooks and fiery melodies – a killer combination, if ever there were one. Stream UHURU's "Riddle," exclusively on Atwood Magazine.


Judge Leon deemed "this pronouncement…surprising," "[t]o stay the least," since the Government had previously argued that "slowing implementation of the CVS-Aetna merger could 'delay any efficiencies that might result from the transaction' and 'create uncertainty for customers, employers, and shareholders.'" Interpreting the Government's status report as a motion to stay, Judge Leon denied it, firmly stating that, "[i]n short, the Government's internal, political squabble over funding is NO reason to postpone the congressionally mandated evaluation of the Government's proposal to remedy the antitrust concerns allegedly raised by the merger's consummation!" He ordered a response to public comments by February 15.
The judge's latest action underscores two points—first, merger parties cannot assume that the Tunney Act is a mere formality (as we reported last month, Judge Leon previously took the parties to task for assuming the court would "rubber-stamp" the consent judgment). Second, courts typically place a very low priority on the convenience (or paychecks) of attorneys of record when clients will be prejudiced or the public interest disserved by requests for delay—and this is just as true of government attorneys as those in private practice. We'll continue to cover the progress of the court's review.


This Southern Pecan Pie recipe is a classic but swaps old-fashioned cane syrup for some of the corn syrup. The result is intense and delicious flavor, not just overwhelming sweetness!
**Note: Recipe updated November 25, 2016.
They dot the landscape of Middle and South Georgia…tall, majestic trees offering shade beside homes or towering together in groves alongside country roads. In the fall, they drop their crunchy, meaty bounty right onto the ground. In days long gone, all those ripe pecans had to be hand picked and tossed into large burlap bags. Now, of course, there are machines to do most of the work: shake the trees and gather the pecans, then take them to be cracked, packed and sold.
When I was growing up, we were of the burlap sack or five gallon bucket mode. A large pecan tree graced our front yard, which provided ample shade over our trampoline and was enjoyed quite well until harvest time. Then Mama would send us out to gather pecans and I promise you've never had a more boring, tedious, back-breaking job than gathering pecans. Unless it's shelling the pecans. Or shucking corn. But I digress. Sometimes my mother would be especially mad at my sister and me and would decide that the lone tree in our yard would not suffice for punishment; we would then travel to a friend's pecan ORCHARD, where there would be multiple trees—and we would wander in this lonely place for hours, picking up pecans and grumbling all the way. Never tell your parents you are bored if you live in the country. Trust me.
Most of the pecans we gathered were shelled and frozen for future use, although a good bit were roasted immediately, tossed with a little salt and kept close by for snacking. And of course, at every church gathering and on every Thanksgiving and Christmas table was a pecan pie, in addition to apple pie, sweet potato pie, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie, caramel cake, chocolate cake, and sometimes, fried pies. We never lacked for desserts anywhere!
Southern Pecan Pie is one of the easiest desserts you'll ever make. You can find recipes that try to fancy it up and make it complicated, but the fact is, a good pecan pie takes less than fifteen minutes to throw together and then is good for several days. I like to use cane syrup in addition to the regular corn syrup because I think it adds more flavor, and I also roast the pecans before adding to the pie.
Start with a couple of handfuls of pecans and spread them out on a cookie sheet. Heat the oven to 375° and then toast the nuts for 8-10 minutes. While the pecans are in the oven, you can get the rest of the ingredients ready. You'll need a 9-inch (not deep dish) pie crust, and my pie crust recipe is easy if you'd like to try making homemade.
Melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. In a large bowl, combine 1/3 cup light brown sugar and 1/3 cup white granulated sugar with 4 eggs and whisk together until smooth. Whisk in one tablespoon of flour. Pour in the melted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a 1 cup measuring cup, add 1 tablespoon molasses and then fill the cup with cane syrup until it reaches 1/2 cup, then regular corn syrup to 1 cup. Add this to the egg mixture.
Coarsely chop the toasted pecans and add 1 1/2 cups to the syrup mixture and stir until all the pecan pieces are well coated.
Then pour it all into the pie crust and place the pecan pie on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for about 50 minutes, until the pie is just slightly jiggly in the middle. Remove and let sit at least an hour before serving.
Good, old-fashioned Southern pecan pie—a perfect Sunday afternoon treat with a cup of coffee.
Preheat oven to 350. Spread pecans on a large cookie sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes. Allow pecans to cool slightly then coarsely chop.
In large bowl, whisk sugars and eggs until smooth. Whisk in flour. Add melted butter, vanilla and salt and whisk together until smooth and blended.
Measure 1 tablespoon molasses into measuring cup and then fill to 1/2 cup line with cane syrup. Add 1/2 cup corn syrup and then pour into egg mixture and whisk gently.
Add 1 1/2 cups chopped, toasted pecans and stir to coat all pecans. Pour into pie crust.
Bake for 50-55 minutes until just slightly jiggly in the center. Let pie rest on cooling rack for at least an hour before serving.

U.S.|5 U.S. Airports Set for Travelers From 3 West African Nations
5 U.S. Airports Set for Travelers From 3 West African Nations

By Matt Apuzzo and Manny Fernandez
WASHINGTON — Anyone flying to the United States from Ebola-affected countries in West Africa must enter through one of five airports screening for the disease, Jeh C. Johnson, the Homeland Security secretary, said Tuesday as the Obama administration stepped up precautions to stop the spread of the virus.
The government had already instituted temperature checks for West Africans arriving at Kennedy International in New York, Newark Liberty International, Washington Dulles International, O'Hare International in Chicago, and Hartsfield-Jackson International in Atlanta. The five airports already account for 94 percent of all arrivals from the affected countries — Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. A fever is one symptom of the disease and an indication that the person could be contagious.
Mr. Johnson said airlines were working to reroute passengers who had been scheduled to arrive at other airports. Some members of Congress have been pressing for a travel ban from those countries.
Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York called the move a "good and effective step" toward protecting Americans.
But Representative Robert W. Goodlatte of Virginia, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the administration must do more to protect Americans. "President Obama has a real solution at his disposal under current law and can use it at any time to temporarily ban foreign nationals from entering the United States from Ebola-ravaged countries," Mr. Goodlatte said.
The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that 562 travelers had undergone screening at the five airports; none had tested positive for Ebola.
Experts cautioned that the temperature checks would almost certainly not have detected that Thomas Eric Duncan had Ebola before he entered the country from Liberia. The disease typically incubates for eight to 10 days before symptoms, including fever, develop.
American health officials believe Mr. Duncan did not have a fever when he arrived in the United States, a view seconded by his family. Mr. Duncan died of the disease on Oct. 8 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Two nurses who treated Mr. Duncan — Nina Pham and Amber Joy Vinson — are now being treated for Ebola. Ms. Pham's status was upgraded on Tuesday to good from fair by the National Institutes of Health.
Officials in Dallas announced Monday that 43 of the people who had direct or indirect contact with Mr. Duncan were declared Ebola-free and could return to work and school. Another group is still being monitored, including nurses and other hospital workers as well as passengers on airline flights that Ms. Vinson took between Cleveland and Dallas before she was found to have Ebola.
In Dallas, Timothy Wayne, 13, returned to class at Sam Tasby Middle School after a three-week absence. His mother is Louise Troh, Mr. Duncan's fiancée. Timothy, his mother and two others who lived with them had been under a state-ordered quarantine.
Timothy was one of eight Dallas pupils potentially exposed to Mr. Duncan. Four returned to their schools on Monday.
School staff members were watching for any signs of bullying. A number of parents at a school in a nearby district, Armstrong Elementary, kept their children home the day after Dallas County's top elected official, Clay Jenkins, whose daughter attends Armstrong, went to see Ms. Troh while she was in quarantine.
At the Tasby school, Christina Cobbin, 11, said teachers had spoken to pupils about Ebola. "They just told us that it's not airborne, and that you have to eat fluids from them, and they said that when they come back, if they hear anything about the kids making fun of them, that that's an automatic suspension," she said.
Also on Tuesday in Dallas, Gov. Rick Perry said two treatment centers had been designated for any future Ebola patients. One will be at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston; the other will be in a now-empty intensive care unit on a satellite campus of Methodist Health System in Dallas.
The center on the Methodist campus will be staffed by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, with support from Parkland Health and Hospital System. The 10-bed unit will be ready to receive patients by Wednesday, Mr. Perry said.
"Reality requires that all the resources of our health care system, in order for us to respond quickly and efficiently, have to be working very closely together," Mr. Perry said.
The units in Galveston and Dallas will be modeled on special biocontainment units used to successfully treat Ebola patients at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
Doctors at the Nebraska unit said on Tuesday that Ashoka Mukpo, an American who has been in isolation there for the past two weeks getting treatment for Ebola, no longer has the virus in his bloodstream. Mr. Mukpo, 33, will be released on Wednesday. A freelance cameraman for NBC, he was found to have Ebola early this month in Liberia.
Matt Apuzzo reported from Washington, and Manny Fernandez from Dallas. Abby Goodnough contributed reporting from Dallas, and Sabrina Tavernise from Washington.

In October, Hugh Robinson, a regional daredevil gave a flying demonstration to people who had gathered at the local fairgrounds. Robinson returned several days later and landed a hydroplane on the Mississippi River to deliver airmail to the city.
"We Present Hugh Robinson, the Far Famed Aviator and Favorite of the Curtiss Co.," La Crosse Tribune & Leader-Press 7 Oct. 1977:1; and "All is Ready for Robinson," 18 Oct. 1911.
The city's first airport, Salzer Field, was established. The airport was located on La Crosse's south side at the corner of Losey Boulevard and Ward Avenue, on approximately 80 acres land owned by the Salzer Seed Company.
A group of local aviation enthusiasts formed the La Crosse Aero Club. The City and the Chamber of Commerce believed that aviation would catch on and would help bring economic growth to the local area.
On February 9th, Pilot William Carroll was en route from Milwaukee to Minneapolis/St. Paul flying the air mail route. Forced to land on the Wisconsin River due to bad weather, Carroll and two members of his crew were killed after their plane experienced an in-flight explosion over La Crosse. This tragedy had national implications. The timing of the crash occurred while debates on the government's role in aviation were occurring. As a result, funding was cut, and only transcontinental air mail routes that ran from New York to San Francisco via Chicago and Denver survived. One of the main points of debate was the ability of the Federal Government to regulate aviation under the guidance of the constitution.
U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case of the Wisconsin Railroad Commission, which was the predecessor of the modern Department of Transportation. The Court ruled that Federal Government has power to regulate intrastate commerce.
The Kelly Act passed, providing subsidies that all but created the American Airline Industry.
The City of La Crosse purchased the land known as Salzer Field, thus becoming the first airport in the City of La Crosse. Shortly after, Northwest Airlines began the first commercial service to La Crosse.
Having difficulty maintaining the airport because of large demands for modernization, the City of La Crosse abandoned Salzer Field on July 13.
La Crosse County Board of Supervisors leased a field on French Island to serve as a new airport. While initial work and progress on the airport was slow, a Depression Era "New Deal" program designed to put people to work allowed progress at the new airport to continue.
The new two-runway field, known as Pfafflin Field, was dedicated as the new County Airport on August 18.
Control of the new airport, however, was not assigned to the county. A contract was negotiated by the county and Ray Pfafflin for Pfafflin to operate Pfafflin Field for a period of five years after which the county then had the option to purchase.
The County Park Commission purchased the land for $14,141. After Raymond Pfafflin filed an appeal with the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the county decided to give up its attempt to develop and run the airport if Mr. Pfafflin would drop his appeal.
Construction of the current airport site started and was completed in 1945.
A requirement of receiving federal airport funds is for the airport land to be publicly-owned. The City of La Crosse finally purchased Pfafflin Field in February and it became city property.
The first two 8-unit t-hangars were constructed.
Viking Aviation began servicing the Airport from a newly constructed hangar building.
The Airports first Airport Manager, Frank Muth, was hired. He served the Airport until 1956.
The La Crosse Municipal Airport, a class IV airport, was dedicated on March 1. Northwest Airlines began scheduled air service the same day with five daily flights. The three asphalt runways at the new airport were 5299 ft. x 150 ft.
The Airport constructed its first maintenance building which was removed in 2019 to make way for more corporate hangar development.
The Airport needing a place to conduct its daily business constructed a new administration building which still stands today.
The city, recognizing that continuous improvement was required, built a new terminal building.
The city hired Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, Inc., to develop a "general plan" for the La Crosse Municipal Airport. Impressed with the location and layout of the airport, the consultants devised three stages of development.
The first stage consisted of building T-hangars, a large hangar, and refueling facilities, and also recommended sizes, designs, and locations for these structures. The T-hangars would solve the initial problem of having space for transient and based airplanes that must be hangared overnight. The large hangar could and should serve as an administration building until activity at the airport increased to the point where a separate administration building was required. The second and third stages of development included building other hangars when traffic warranted and hiring a director to manage the airport.
Air service continued to improve at the La Crosse Municipal Airport as the establishment kept pace with the ever-increasing requirements to safeguard all persons that utilized the aviation system. These improvements included wind indication devices, improved lighting systems, improved communication systems, emergency back-up electrical power, better snow removal equipment, security fencing, maintenance storage buildings, and a terminal building.
Theron Clark was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 1969
A third 8-unit t-hangar was constructed.
A fourth 8-unit t-hangar was constructed.
James Cote was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 1973
Three new 8-unit t-hangars were constructed.
James Brough was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 1976
The city built a terminal building to accommodate the traveling public. There were two fixed-base operators to provide necessary aviation services, an air cargo facility, various corporate flight facilities, and seven T-hangars.
La Crosse Airline Service was provided by North Central Airlines with a combination of Convair 580 and DC 9 jet aircraft and by Mississippi Valley Airlines with Metroliners and DeHavilland Otters.
Viking Aviation, Inc., La Crosse Flite Center, and Viking International Airlines provided charter flights and air cargo services.
Curtis Tripp was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 1979
Robert Kennedy was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 1983
Duane Haataja was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 1996
An eight 8-unit t-hangar was constructed.
The airport had grown to approximately 1,380 acres including a new terminal building, located on Airport Road. In conjunction with the new terminal building, an Airport Industrial Park was developed. The airport was and is a modern all-weather capable facility.
With larger equipment the Airport out grew the existing maintenance building and constructed a new modern maintenance shop which is still in operation today.
A new modernized Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting facility was constructed and remains in operation today.
Mike Daigle was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 2003
Dan Wruck was hired as the new Airport Manager and served the Airport until 2012
Clinton Torp hired as the Airport Director after serving as the Assistant Airport Manager for 6 years, until May 2019.
La Crosse Municipal Airport was renamed the La Crosse Regional Airport to better represent the geographic area the Airport serves.
In February, the La Crosse Regional Airport Terminal Rehabilitation Project was dedicated with a nearly $14.2 million dollar renovation project.
Construction of a new 10-unit t-hangar is accomplished which accommodates larger twin engine aircraft.
Phase 1 of a 2 phase project is completed on the Terminal Apron. The project ensures that larger, modern, air carrier aircraft can continue to utilize the airport.
Ian Turner joins the La Crosse Regional Airport as its Director in September 2019.
Soaring Suds Car Wash opens in December, ensuring that car rental customers receive a fresh, clean car is quick order.
The general aviation t-hangar area receives an asphalt resurfacing to extend the useful life of the pavement. The project also opens up new development spaces for additional box hangars.
Phase 2 of the 2 phase project to expand the Terminal Apron is completed. Multiple mainline air carrier aircraft can now operate to and from the Terminal at the same time.
The airport sits on 1,380 acres of land and supports approximately 19,000 operations every year.
The original runway layout is still in use, but many improvements have taken place overtime. Two of the runways have seen expansion to 8,742 feet and 6,050 feet. At 8,742 feet, the La Crosse Airport has the third longest runway in the state of Wisconsin with Milwaukee having the longest and Madison the second longest.
With its infrastructure, the La Crosse Airport can accommodate even the largest aircraft in service today. The airlines process nearly 90,000 enplanements and 180,000 total passenger annually.
The La Crosse Airport is a self-sufficient entity of the City of La Crosse; taxpayer dollars do not go into the operating budget of the airport.
The staff at the airport consists of 13 city employees; of whom four are trained Operations Coordinators who perform ARFF and six are airport maintenance personnel who take care of the airport facilities.
