New York State Designates Gabreski Airport A Superfund Site
September 19, 2016 September 27, 2016 Beth Young 1 Comment
Gabreski Airport in 1996
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced last week that Gabreski Air National Guard Base, where two emerging contaminants used in firefighting foam have been found in the groundwater this year, has been named a State Superfund Site.
With this designation, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has identified the U.S. Department of Defense, which oversees the site's operations, as the potentially responsible party for the perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) contamination detected in nearby groundwater.
According to Mr. Cuomo's office, the "DEC will use its full legal authority under the State Superfund law to ensure a thorough site clean-up."
These actions are part of the efforts of the governor's Water Quality Rapid Response Team, launched on Long Island in February.
The DEC added PFOS to the state's list of hazardous substances that qualify for inclusion in the State Superfund program in April of this year.
In July, the DEC identified the Air National Guard Base, including the former fire training area at the airport, as a potential Superfund site, due to historic use of firefighting foam containing PFOS.
The DEC has taken groundwater and soil samples at the base confirming that the site is a significant source of PFOS contamination.
Also in late July, Suffolk County collected samples of 66 private drinking water wells from Westhampton Beach and found several of them to be contaminated. The state has been working with Suffolk County and the Suffolk County Water Authority to provide information and bottled water to residents, and to coordinate connection to the municipal water supply.
The state has directed the Department of Defense to finance the connection of private wells that have been or may be contaminated to the municipal water supply. If the DOD fails to do this, the state will use Superfund money to complete the connections and then seek reimbursement from the DOD.
Governor Cuomo has also called on the EPA to expand the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule program to require sampling for all public water supplies, regardless of the size of the population served.
Currently, only water systems with more than 10,000 people connected are required to test for unregulated contaminants, leaving out 2.5 million New Yorkers who get their drinking water from smaller systems.
If the EPA fails to address this challenge, the governor's office plans to work for legislation to require testing of all public water in New York State for unregulated contaminants, and to require that the results of those tests be made publicly available.
The governor's office is also promoting legislation requiring homeowners to test for contaminants prior to the sale of a home, and mandating that landlords with properties on private wells test their water and share those results with tenants.
"Ensuring that all New Yorkers have access to clean drinking water is a top priority and the Water Quality Rapid Response Team continues to take action across the state to stay ahead of this emerging challenge," said Governor Cuomo in a press release Sept. 12.
"The Superfund designation at Gabreski Airport is critically important to begin to properly address the contamination in an expedited manner," agreed State Senator Ken LaValle in a statement Sept. 15. "The residents deserve to have every tool available utilized to clean up their water as soon as physically possible."
"Today's Superfund designation is a timely and significant step in the right direction," said State Assemblyman Fred Thiele. "I applaud our government officials for acting so quickly to identify the scope of the problem, notify residents and now secure the funding necessary to ensure these contaminated soils and waters are contained, removed and remediated."
"Residents of our community must be able to count on access to clean drinking water," said South Fork Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming. "I am grateful for the care that government officials at all levels have taken in this instance to ensure that groundwater contamination is detected and remediated."
All three local legislators said they are committed to ensuring that follow-up investigations occur and are conducted in an open and transparent manner, and that monitoring continues to ensure any potential future issues are addressed immediately.

The Portland Transit Mall is a  public transit corridor that travels north–south through the center of downtown in Portland, Oregon, United States. It comprises a pair of one-way streets—6th Avenue for northbound traffic and 5th Avenue for southbound—along which two of three lanes are restricted to transit buses and light rail vehicles only. , the corridor is served by the Green, Orange, and Yellow lines of MAX Light Rail; Frequent Express; and over a dozen local bus routes, all of which are services of TriMet, the transit agency operating within the Oregon side of the Portland metropolitan area. C-Tran, the transit agency for Clark County, Washington, additionally serves it with two express bus routes—#105 I-5 Express and #164 Fisher's Landing Express.

The transit mall was conceived as part of Portland's 1972 Downtown Plan. It opened in 1977 and until light rail trains were added in 2009,  buses were the only transit vehicles using it. The mall was rebuilt and extended southwards from 2007 to 2009, and it reopened for buses on May 24, 2009.  Light rail service on the mall was introduced on August 30, 2009, with the shifting of the MAX Yellow Line to the mall from its original routing in downtown,  and a second MAX line, the Green Line, began serving the mall two weeks later, on September 12.  Between fall 2009 and July 2014, the Portland Vintage Trolley also served the transit mall on certain Sundays.  In September 2015, the new MAX Orange Line replaced the Yellow Line service in the southbound direction on the mall, on 5th Avenue, with the Orange and Yellow lines being through-routed at all times.

History

The Portland Transit Mall (formally named simply the Portland Mall) was constructed by TriMet, the Portland metropolitan area's regional transit agency, in 1976–77 and opened on December 11, 1977.  It was formally dedicated in March 1978.  The mall comprises 5th Avenue, for southbound buses, and 6th Avenue, for northbound buses, and when first opened it involved the sections of those streets extending from West Burnside Street to SW Madison Street: the central core of downtown.

In June 1994, the mall was extended northward through Chinatown to Union Station (used by Amtrak) and the Greyhound bus depot.  Short, unconnected additions were made in the area around Portland State University in the early 2000s.

TriMet's Fareless Square (renamed the "Free Rail Zone" in 2010) encompassed the entire mall until discontinued in 2012, and these two facilities/measures, among others, have contributed to TriMet's having become one of the nation's most successful and most-studied public transportation systems.

Prior to its closure for rebuilding in 2007, the Portland Mall's design permitted private vehicle traffic to use the left lane, but only in short, two-block segments.  In every third block, the lefthand (auto) lane disappeared for one block, and the otherwise three-lane-wide street became two lanes wide and restricted to buses only.  In this way, two-thirds of the specific blocks along 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue remained open to cars, but use of those streets for through travel by cars was prohibited.

Design and amenities
The 1970s rebuilding of 5th and 6th avenues as transit-priority streets included several changes designed to create an environment that was more attractive and inviting to transit users and other pedestrians.  Sidewalks were widened and repaved in brick, many additional trees were planted, new works of public art were commissioned and installed, and amenities such as benches and flower planters were added.

At each bus stop, a large new passenger shelter was installed.  In addition to a pay telephone, every shelter was equipped with a closed-circuit television monitor giving riders information as to the next three departures on each bus route serving that particular stop. This particular feature of the Portland Transit Mall was said to be a "first" for urban transit at the time (1977), having previously been used only in intercity transportation terminals, mainly airports.  The information system came into use in January 1978. The monitors were originally black-and-white, but were replaced by color ones in 1988.

Most bus routes serving downtown Portland followed the transit mall, but a few remained on so-called "cross-mall" routings, along east-west streets, originally Morrison and Yamhill streets but shifted to Washington and Salmon streets with the start of MAX construction in the early 1980s.

With regard to operations, the mall was designed with two bus stops in each block, or about one stop every . However, a bus operating on any given route only stopped at every fourth stop, i.e., every two blocks.  TriMet adopted symbols and colors for each grouping of stops, so that bus riders could easily determine which particular stop locations were served by their routes.  The colors/symbols, which were marked by large signs at each stop and also shown on public schedules and maps, were as follows:   Brown Beaver, Green Leaf, Yellow Rose, Orange Deer, Red Fish, Purple Raindrops and Blue Snowflake. They were also called "sector symbols", as each one corresponded to a particular sector of the city, e.g., the Rose being for routes serving Southwest Portland and the Fish for North Portland routes. When TriMet's first light rail line opened in 1986, use of the Snowflake symbol on the mall was discontinued, as all TriMet routes in that sector were curtailed to terminate at a light rail station, such as the Gateway Transit Center, and no longer traveled to downtown.

This operating configuration for the Portland Mall remained largely unchanged for 29 years, before the mall closed for rebuilding in early 2007. TriMet discontinued use of the distinctive graphic symbols used at mall stops at that time, but the symbols had already been relegated to secondary status in 2002, when they were replaced by purely geographic, letter designations such as N or NE (for North Portland or Northeast Portland) for each grouping. The graphic sector symbols were retained only at a greatly reduced size on the mall signs (much smaller in size than the new letter indications) and were no longer used at all in other TriMet media, such as the covers of bus schedules.  They disappeared entirely in January 2007.

Renovation and rebuilding

In 2004, it was decided to add MAX light rail to the transit mall, as TriMet's existing MAX routing through downtown was nearing its design capacity and another line (the Green Line) was being planned and was expected to be added to the system within a few years. Also, the mall was approaching three decades of use, and was in need of a heavy renovation. TriMet and transportation planners from the city and Metro studied how best to accommodate both buses and light rail on the mall. During this process, it was also decided, at the urging of the downtown business community, to reconfigure the mall's traffic lanes in such a way as to permit autos and other private traffic to use the left lane for the entire lengths of 5th and 6th avenues, a controversial decision. The project would also extend the mall south, from Madison Street all the way to the southern end of downtown and of Fareless Square, at the Stadium Freeway (I-405), thereby reaching Portland State University.

The Portland Transit Mall temporarily closed for rebuilding on January 14, 2007. The work carried out over the next two years included the addition of light rail tracks and widening, to three lanes, all of the few south-of-Burnside sections which had previously been intentionally narrowed (by the original 1970s design) to two lanes and bus-only.  During the lengthy closure, all bus routes using the mall were diverted to other streets, many to the nearby pair of 3rd Avenue (southbound) and 4th Avenue (northbound), where they had to share all traffic lanes with private vehicles but with parking temporarily removed at all of the new bus stops.  Some routes were cut back to the southern part of downtown, making a loop along Columbia and Jefferson Streets.

In 2007, local officials and businessmen expressed confidence that the renovation and extension of the transit mall would foster major new property redevelopment in downtown over the next several years.

Bus service returned to the mall on May 24, 2009. Three months later, on August 30, 2009, MAX light rail began serving the mall, when the Yellow Line was shifted from its original (2004) downtown routing.  On September 12, 2009, the new Green Line opened, and it serves the transit mall as well.

In the new design, MAX stops are located every 4–5 blocks, and a bus (on a given route) also stops only every 4–5 blocks. Groupings of stops are marked by letters: A, B, C or D on 5th Avenue, and W, X, Y or Z on 6th Avenue. All of the few routes that were shortened slightly, to terminate in the southern part of downtown upon the mall's closure for rebuilding in 2007, have been permanently revised so as to no longer serve the mall, where replacement service is now being provided by light rail. The mall is currently served by 17 TriMet bus routes, six of which only operate in peak hours (at least on that part of their route). Only one 1977 shelter survived demolition; located near Southwest 5th and Salmon streets, it was spared as a reminder of the previous transit mall, later re-purposed as a concession stand.

Although cars and trucks are now allowed to use the left lane for the entire length of the transit mall, they are—with the exception of  a very few locations—not permitted to turn right at any intersections. A motorist wanting to turn right from the transit mall must turn left, and make two additional left turns, to end up in the desired direction.  This prevents cars' making right turns into the path of an oncoming bus or light rail car, which might be unable safely to stop in time to prevent a serious collision.

Vintage Trolley service

On September 13, 2009, the Sundays-only Portland Vintage Trolley service moved to the transit mall from a different route it had followed since 1991. The trolley cars served the full length of the mall, from Union Station to Portland State University.  However, the Vintage Trolley service was discontinued in 2014, running for the last time on July 6 of that year.

MAX Mall Shuttle

The MAX Mall Shuttle was a service that operated from 2009 until 2011, weekday afternoons only.  Introduced on September 14, 2009, it supplemented the light-rail service provided on the mall by the Yellow and Green lines and operated only between Union Station and PSU, about every 30 minutes on weekdays from noon until 5:30 p.m. TriMet discontinued this supplementary shuttle service effective June 5, 2011 (making Friday, June 3 the final day of operation). Along with bus service, the mall continues to be served by two MAX lines in each directionGreen and Yellow northbound and Green and Orange southboundwhich provide a combined average headway of 7.5 minutes in each direction at most times.

In what has been described as a 'natural fit'; Marsden State High School and the Souths Logan Magpies have developed a partnership where the club will incorporate Marsden's new $6million Centre of Excellence as a training base for their male squads.
This will include players from their Intrust Super Cup squad down through to the Under 18 Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup side – a move that will especially benefit players from the Logan area.
From a community perspective; players from the Logan region will have the opportunity to learn and develop locally with a foundation club who has a proud history dating back to 1908 and is affiliated with the Brisbane Broncos.
"The real beauty of this is that kids from this area don't have to drive up the highway and back as often," Souths Logan CEO Jim McClelland said at the official launch of the partnership at Marsden SHS's Centre of Excellence earlier this week.
"We are in Logan, we have a base here now; we become a little bit more relevant hopefully to the community when the community realises exactly what we do for junior development and the kids that we are bringing through our programs.
"Long-term, we would like to have a playing base here as well so we can split our games; similar to St George Illawarra and Wests Tigers who have a spiritual home, but can split five or six games between their grounds.
Some of the players who would have benefited from such an arrangement this season include Souths Logan's Mal Meninga Cup winning fullback and Australian Schoolboy representative Tesi Niu (who is currently on tour with the team in the United Kingdom) and his club and school team-mate Cruise Ten.
Ten was part of the premiership winning side this season; and next year is looking to follow a university pathway, where his first goal is to be accepted into an Engineering degree.
The Year 12 student made a special trip back to school last week to help launch the partnership and spoke about all he had experienced in football during season 2018.
"We had a couple of good players in our team like (David) Fifita in club this year (and); I enjoyed it; was good to play alongside them week-in, week-out," the winner of the Souths Logan Bill Tyqin Mal Meninga Cup Most Valuable Player winner said.
"(It was also good to have) a few team-mates who played both at school and club including Tesi Niu; it helps to know each other's style of play, it gets the bond a bit better and stronger too, so it helps on the field.
Students from Marsden's Rugby League Excellence program like Ten and Niu will now be able to train at the school with additional structured support for their school work replacing the significant travel time associated with Brisbane-based venues.
The facilities being provided to the Magpies (who will split their time between Marsden and their traditional home base) include a state-of-the-art gym, a recovery centre, four change rooms and an indoor training option; as well as an office in the centre to build upon the strong links with Logan clubs and the community.
Marsden State High School executive principal Andrew Peach said the new partnership was "a nice, natural fit" that made sense for both parties.

Q: A general formula for automorphism groups of finite Posets? Every finite poset $P$ may be represented as a direct sum of products of directly irreducible posets, which is to say:
$P = \sum\limits_i^n \prod\limits_j^{m_i} P_{i,j}$
where the $P_{i,j}$ are connected and directly irreducible. So my question is if the group $Aut(P)$ of automorphisms of $P$ can be represented in terms of the groups $Aut(P_{i,j})$. I would appreciate any answers, or references to sources on the automorphism groups of of finite posets.

Welcome to Yangon, the commercial capital of Myanmar, a nation of 51.5 million known as Asia's last frontier with its recent opening to the west. While the city of Yangon has just over 5 million residents, a word of caution – it's changing fast. If you're interested in culture and history, now is the time to visit. Tag along with our host, Natalie Scarr, as she uncovers gems of the past.
If you're looking for Myanmar national history, you've reached the right place – all five floors of it. One highlight not to be missed is a golden Lion Throne which belonged to the last King of Myanmar — the throne towers nearly 8 meters high!
Other important historical items include a display on the evolution the Myanmar script and alphabet, ornate royal clothing and much more.
From 1824 to 1948 Bruma was under British control and as a result you'll find the greatest concentration of colonial era buildings in Southeast Asia here in downtown Yangon. Enjoy high noon tea at The Stand Hotel and as you walk around you can picture to yourself what the city may have looked like 100 years ago.
The Yangon Central Railway Station located dates back to the British era and is the largest railway station in Myanmar. However, it was destroyed in World War 2 by the Japanese and re-built by the Burmese in 1954. The station is in use today and while slow, train one of a few ways to get around this nation where domestic travel can be a challenge.
While traveling here, keep your eye out of the wearing of Longzyi by both men and women. It's an elegant fabric worn knotted at the waist down to the feet. When you see swirls of yellow on the cheeks of locals, what you're looking at is Thanaka tree powder, native to Myanmar and used for sun protection.
Finally, there's a lot of buddhist history in Yangon. There's little known but absolutely spectacular reclining Buddha at Bahan Township. This is a must see!
When it comes to facts and figures, construction started in 1899 and the statue is 66 meters long. What's more incredible is the reclining Buddha was rebuilt in the 1950s with glass eyes which are nearly 2 meters tall. If that's not enough, the Buddha's crown is now encrusted with diamonds and other precious stones.
Did you know Myanmar is also known as the Golden Land? If not, you do now. Why? The answer is simple, the nation loves its gold with monuments and pagodas. This leads us to jewel in Yangon's heart, the Shwedagon Pagoda. Covered in 6 tonnes of real gold and 99 meters in height with a 76 carat diamond at its very top, the Shwedagon Pagoda is thought to be the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world and can seen from across the city. It's the most sacred Buddhist site in Myanmar is an absolute must-see.

If you have been diagnosed with ESRD and require dialysis, you will need to have a dialysis access placed. An AV fistula is the type of dialysis access that is considered the best choice because it generally lasts longer and has fewer problems.
An AV fistula is a surgical connection made between an artery and a vein, created by a vascular specialist. An AV fistula is typically located in your arm, however, if necessary it can be placed in the leg. With an AV fistula, blood flows from the artery directly into the vein, increasing the blood pressure and amount of blood flow through the vein. The increased flow and pressure causes the veins to enlarge. The enlarged veins will be capable of delivering the amount of blood flow necessary to provide an adequate hemodialysis treatment. AV fistulas are the preferred vascular access for long-term dialysis because they last longer than any other dialysis access types, are less prone to infection and clotting, and can be relied upon for predictable performance.
How is an AV fistula created?
The first step in AV fistula creation is to evaluate your blood vessels (veins and arteries), to ensure they are healthy enough to support a fistula. The first step in the evaluation will be a physical examination of your arms performed by your vascular specialist. The next step will involve the use of non-invasive or minimally invasive tests such as ultrasound, and possibly an angiogram to determine the size and depth of your arteries and veins. These tests will determine whether or not your blood vessels are able to support an AV fistula. These tests are often referred to as "vessel mapping." Once it has been determined that you are a candidate for an AV fistula, an appointment will be scheduled for the AV fistula creation.
To create an AV fistula, the vascular specialist will administer local anesthesia to the chosen access site. Next, your physician will make a small incision, allowing access to the selected arteries and veins. A surgical connection is made between an artery and a vein. This connection causes blood to flow from the artery into the vein, this increased blood flow through the vein results in enlargement of the vein and thickening of the vein walls. After the AV fistula has been created, it will take several weeks, in some cases a month or longer, for the fistula to mature to the point where it will be able to be used for your hemodialysis treatments.
AV fistula creation can be done as an outpatient procedure and does not require an overnight hospitalization. In general, you should be able to go home a few hours after the procedure is completed.
You will be instructed to keep your access arm elevated to reduce swelling and pain at the access site. Your physician may also prescribe a painkiller to help manage any post-operative pain.
Before you are sent home, you will be given specific instructions on how to care for your access.
The interventional specialists and vascular surgeons at Azura are highly skilled in dialysis access creation and management. We can perform the AV fistula creation in our centers and help you manage your fistula when needed while you are on dialysis. At Azura Vascular Care, we work every day to deliver far more than our patients expect by bringing our full range of medical capabilities and service excellence to every patient, every visit at each of our centers nationwide.

Pretty corny, although it was interesting to watch. If you have some better writing, use a tripod and better photographs, you can improve your stop motions a great deal. You have talent, but you need to work on your animations, and get the bugs out of the way first.
Thanks for your honest input. I'll take what you said into consideration when I make my next animation.
Not that creative, as you took te whole idea from another video. The animation wasn't that great, and this really should be rated Mature. Overall, not really that great.
Yes, I KNOW that its idea came from another video. I KNOW this should be rated mature. But for some reason, Newgrounds didn't make it that way.
Really catchy song, the animation isn't that great so I can only give this a 4.5! You have no problem with music creation, you should focus more on your animation skills. The person didn't look realistic enough, the candy seemed more lifelike. Fix this and you can get 5's on all of your animations.
The best part of this game were the sprites. Everything else was pretty poorly done. The game was buggy, slow, and boring. I felt little motivation to save the hero's girlfriend, it got old so fast. Playing this game was a drag, because of poor performance. If you could fix the bugs, maybe add upgrades or medals, the game would have some interest. But even zombies can't save a bad game.
Nothing that new, and it had some flaws. The timer would often go too early, meaning I could beat levels, even when I should have failed, because the objects were plummeting towards the void below. Overall the game was visually appealing, and relaxing to play, but not much more can be said. It was boring, and not that creative. There are a million games like this, and it did little to stand out on it's own.
Fantastic Game. Great Music, Art, Gameplay, Medals, Storyline, this game has it all. Very well put together, and there are so many elements to the game, it's not as simple as some might first think.
Only complaint was that I didn't understand the marketplace at first, as in, the prices on certain items change each day. That wasn't obvious at the start of the game.
In terms of replay value, I probably won't play it again with the other ships, just because the game took so long to beat. Maybe if you are stuck on including these other ships, they can be ships that are available within the first game? Just a suggestion.
How to beat the Kraken. Some people were wondering this. It's simple, circle around the map, avoiding the borders, which do damage, and use the fireballs to take out the smaller Krakens. This will break the shield. Then you can circle the main Kraken, and take him out with your main cannons. You will need to Tortoise Shell for this, because you need to be able to take a lot of damage, there is no way to maneuver around the bullets, this isn't a bullet hell game. Once I had the full shell, I beat the Kraken in one try.
It's alright, although the audio quality is not that great, and the timing felt a little bit off. When I was listening to it, something was bugging me about it, I think it was those things, but it could be something else. This seems like a good piece, you might just need to do another take of it, with better microphones, less compression, and maybe a few practice runs to get everything nice and smooth.
It has potential, but it's not quite there yet.
Thank you for the ideas I was Using a cad u1 microphone, I will try it again following your advice and add on to this piece and make it a little bit more complex.
I really like this piece, love the feel and the style of it, really great job. I don't agree with the others though, this shouldn't be longer, it's a really nice length. What I would suggest is making it loop better, and submitting it as a loop, that way it could be used for games. I can imagine this being the background for an art game, or a point and click detective game. Fantastic work, hope to hear more from you in the future.
This is pretty cool, I love seeing stuff done in Blender. Keep up the good work.
P.S. Check out the Blender website, you should upgrade your Blender version!
Cool, but not much too it.
I understand this is almost all procedural. That being said, when you submit art it shouldn't be procedural, if it is leave it out of the art portal or name it "example name" test or something like that. It's a fairly simple scene, and isn't too creative.
I suggest adding more to it, maybe some insects or small animals, except that may involve more particle systems, if you make small mammals. These are merely suggestions, just try putting more effort next time!

Longare è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia di Vicenza in Veneto.

Geografia fisica
Il territorio del comune, del capoluogo e delle sue due frazioni di Costozza e Lumignano, comprende una fascia pianeggiante limitata a est dal fiume Bacchiglione e dal Canale Bisatto e, a sud-ovest, una zona collinare dei Colli Berici. Questi ultimi, contraddistinti in generale da uno sviluppo altitudinale limitato e un andamento per lo più caratterizzato da declivi dolci, manifestano invece in questa zona un aspetto segnato da versanti molto più ripidi e incisi, soprattutto nella linea Sossano-Costozza dove i complessi calcarei presentano dei dirupi strapiombanti evidenti particolarmente nella falesia di Lumignano, residuo dell'antica scogliera corallina oligocenica, quando le attuali colline si affacciavano su un mare con acque di tipo tropicale.

Geologia
La fascia collinare dei Monti Berici di pertinenza del comune di Longare è in gran parte costituita da una formazione calcarea risalente all'epoca oligocenica, compresa cioè tra 34 e 23 milioni di anni fa. Questo complesso calcareo superficiale poggia a sua volta su sottostanti e precedenti calcari grigi marnosi formatisi nell'Eocene, tra 55 e 34 milioni di anni fa.

Entrambe le formazioni calcaree derivano dalla sedimentazione biochimica e organogena attuatasi in un ambiente lagunare caratterizzato da acque tropicali ben ossigenate e con temperature dell'acqua marina comprese tra 25 e 29 gradi. La barriera corallina, che andava a formare il margine sud-orientale degli attuali Colli Berici, separava la laguna dal mare aperto che doveva estendersi fino ai vicini Colli Euganei. In queste rocce sono presenti in modo visibile resti e scheletri di coralli, idrozoi e alghe calcaree.

I fenomeni erosivi che hanno operato sulla matrice calcarea superficiale hanno dato luogo a processi di dissoluzione carsica che hanno generato una fitta serie di cavità, grotte e covoli. Questi a Costozza sono stati tra loro collegati in una rete di ventidotti che incanalano tuttora l'aria fresca proveniente dalle viscere dei colli a una temperatura costante di circa 12-14 gradi e ne permettono la fruizione negli ambienti di pianura a ridosso dei colli. Questa caratteristica era già nota e famosa nei secoli XVI-XVII e fu sfruttata per fornire un sistema di condizionamento dell'aria utile per rinfrescare le ville e i palazzi nobiliari durante la calura estiva.

Oltre alle formazioni calcaree organogeniche, la struttura comprende anche formazioni di antica origine vulcanica, coeve a quelle dei non lontani Monti Lessini, di cui resta traccia anche nel neck (o tappo vulcanico) del diametro di circa 400 metri ancora riscontrabile in località Munarini di Lumignano.

Flora
Mentre la fascia pianeggiante presenta vaste zone caratterizzate da colture agricole, per lo più permanenti, e ampie zone a seminativi, nell'area collinare si possono invece individuare prevalentemente tre tipi di ambiente: un'estesa area boschiva soprattutto nella parte più alta dei rilievi; la macchia o il bosco rado, prevalente nei versanti meridionali dove lo strato di suolo fertile che ricopre il sottosuolo calcareo è piuttosto sottile; infine l'ambito rupestre che alloggia specie adattatesi a un ambiente di limitata ospitalità.

Le specie presenti nella fascia boschiva sono quelle tipiche dei Colli Berici, caratterizzate da piante non di alto fusto dato il limitato spessore del suolo fertile disponibile. Si trovano frequenti sia il carpino bianco che quello nero, assieme al castagno, al nocciolo, al rovere e alla robinia. Tra le specie arbustive si trovano la roverella, il terebinto, l'orniello, il ginepro, il corniolo, oltre al pruno e alla rosa canina.

Tra le specie più rare si possono segnalare l'endemica saxifraga berica, l'orchidea maggiore e la maclura pomifera. Non mancano poi le felci, sia il capelvenere che l'asplenium lepidum (felce graziosa).

Origini del nome
Pur in assenza di informazioni certe, il nome potrebbe:
 fare riferimento alla posizione allungata del comune compresa tra il fiume Bacchiglione e i soprastanti Colli Berici
 oppure derivare dal latino medievale longaria che indicava una striscia di terra che emerge da zone paludose; nelle mappe antiche infatti il toponimo è Longaria
 oppure derivare da Longari, gli Ungari che nel medioevo invasero e saccheggiarono la parte pianeggiante dell'abitato

Storia

Epoca antica
Le prime popolazioni, nomadi o seminomadi si insediarono nei covoli, come dimostrano le tracce riferibili al paleolitico medio e superiore nella Grotta del Sengio Longo e quelle nel Castellon del Brosimo dell'età del bronzo.
Successivamente uscirono dalle grotte e costruirono le loro capanne inizialmente in località protette e facilmente difendibili come rilievi e colline, poi si spostarono nelle pianure fertili e ricche di acque.

La colonizzazione romana avvenne in modo lento e pacifico, quasi una assimilazione culturale, economica e politica dei veneti da parte dei romani, più potenti ed organizzati. Le risorse del territorio poterono essere meglio sfruttate grazie alle opere di bonifica ed alla costruzione di una rete viaria che metteva in comunicazione i diversi centri: lungo le strade i villaggi ed i castellieri assunsero importanza militare e commerciale. La pietra bianca, e di riflesso l'abitato di Costozza, guadagnarono in notorietà ed acquistarono un mercato sempre più esteso: Custodia diventa presidio e poi vico, conoscendo secoli di prosperità fino alle invasioni barbariche.

Medioevo
Nel 753, durante il dominio longobardo, . Questo atto è storicamente significativo, perché testimonia l'arrivo dei monaci benedettini nel territorio: intorno alle fondazioni benedettine il paese si ripopolò e le terre vennero messe a coltura; sorsero la pieve di San Mauro a Costozza e le chiese di San Maiolo a Lumignano e di San Vito a Secula. Nel XIII secolo la pieve di San Mauro divenne chiesa matrice di numerose altre chiese e cappelle: il territorio ricadeva sotto la diretta giurisdizione vescovile e Costozza era dotata di un castello, anch'esso dipendente dal vescovo.

Nel 1142 iniziò una guerra regionale che coinvolse tutte le città della Marca veronese e Padova tolse a Vicenza la possibilità di utilizzare le vie di comunicazione sia fluviali che terrestri. Per ritorsione, i Vicentini con una rosta, cioè uno sbarramento presso Longare, deviarono le acque del fiume nel Canale Bisatto — forse un antico ramo del Retrone che scorreva lungo le colline e che si dirigeva verso Este, tanto da essere chiamato fiume della Riviera — lasciando quindi Padova all'asciutto. Tale privazione era assolutamente insostenibile, essendo l'acqua essenziale per l'azionamento dei mulini, per l'approvvigionamento dell'acqua potabile e per la difesa. Per ritornarne in possesso, Padova occupò militarmente Longare e ripristinò la situazione idrografica naturale. La guerra continuò per cinque anni, anche con l'obiettivo, da parte dei vicentini, di conquistare o consolidare il proprio dominio su zone periferiche strategiche, come Bassano, Marostica e Montegalda.

Nel 1147 i vescovi veneti e il patriarca di Venezia intervennero nel conflitto portando le due città rivali alla pace di Fontaniva.
Nel 1188 Padova tornò a scontrarsi con Vicenza per tentare nuovamente di conquistare Montegalda, provocando la conseguente reazione dei Vicentini, che deviarono per la seconda volta le acque del Retrone/Bacchiglione nel Bisatto. Molto probabilmente l'apporto idrico del Piovesella non era sufficiente ai fabbisogni della città, pertanto i padovani per la seconda volta fecero una sortita su Longare per eliminare la deviazione.

L'ultimo dispetto viene ricordato nel 1311 quando, appena liberati da Enrico VII dalla soggezione a Padova, i vicentini deviarono nuovamente le acque del Bacchiglione, nonostante la disapprovazione dell'imperatore. Questi ingiunse a Vicenza di risarcire Padova per i danni provocati dalla deviazione del fiume, ma il Consiglio vicentino si rifiutò di pagare, dando così il via a numerose liti su varie questioni, in particolare sulla restituzione a Padova di alcuni fondi rurali. Alla fine Enrico impose a Vicenza di riaprire il corso originario del Bacchiglione. I problemi, e gli interventi di deviazione delle acque, si ripresentarono ancora nel XIV secolo durante le signorie scaligera e viscontea. Cessarono definitivamente dopo che, nel 1404, la Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia estese il proprio dominio fino all'Adda, stabilizzando l'assetto politico territoriale.

Nel XIII secolo la situazione politica ed amministrativa fu fortemente turbata dalle mire espansionistiche di Ezzelino III da Romano, cui oppose fiera resistenza la Lega Padovana. Dopo la caduta del tiranno e la successiva sottomissione di Vicenza a Padova, il 13 giugno 1292 la comunità rurale di Costozza si dotò di uno statuto formato da tre libri: il primo riguardava l'attività amministrativa, il secondo e il terzo l'uso pubblico del Covolo della Guerra. In seguito lotte per il predominio videro opporsi gli Scaligeri ed i Carraresi, in un'alternanza di scontri e pacificazioni che lasciarono stremata la popolazione; a tutto questo si aggiunsero le frequenti carestie, le improvvise e devastanti diffusioni di morbi infettivi ed i terremoti che tra gli inizi del XII secolo e la prima metà del XIV secolo si abbatterono per ben tre volte su Costozza.

Verso la metà del Trecento, durante la dominazione scaligera, tutto il territorio che attualmente fa parte del Comune di Longare fu soggetto, sotto l'aspetto amministrativo e fiscale, al Vicariato civile di Barbarano e tale rimase sino alla fine del XVIII secolo.

Epoca moderna
La pace venne infine imposta da un nuovo e più potente signore: la Repubblica di Venezia, cui il territorio vicentino fu sottomesso dal 1404 fino alla fine del XVIII secolo. Costozza rimase pressoché ininterrottamente sotto il dominio della Serenissima e, dopo un turbolento periodo di iniziale assestamento e il passaggio delle truppe imperiali durante la guerra che agli inizi del Cinquecento oppose Venezia alla Lega di Cambrai, lo sviluppo dell'attività estrattiva locale ne trasse grande beneficio. Fu il momento di maggiore splendore per la "perla dei Berici", ricca di ville gentilizie, collegate da un geniale sistema di condutture, i "ventidotti", che convogliavano nelle stanze l'aria fresca proveniente dalle grotte dei monti circostanti.

Epoca contemporanea
L'arrivo di Napoleone ed il crollo della Repubblica di Venezia determinarono la fine anche della cosiddetta "civiltà delle ville". Sotto i domini francese e austriaco, tra la fine del Settecento e la prima metà dell'Ottocento, lo sviluppo delle attività locali subì dapprima un'interruzione e poi uno spostamento verso l'abitato di Longare la cui importanza divenne prevalente rispetto a quelli di Costozza e di Lumignano.

Con l'annessione del Veneto al Regno d'Italia, nel 1866, il territorio subì una risistemazione amministrativa che sancì l'innalzamento di Longare a capoluogo. Nel Novecento, dopo i terribili momenti vissuti durante i due conflitti mondiali — il primo soprattutto — l'economia subì una vera e propria svolta: a partire dal secondo dopoguerra nacquero curati quartieri residenziali ed una zona artigianale che occupò spazi e forza lavoro prima destinati all'agricoltura. Ancora oggi però la vocazione agricola di Longare è preponderante ed è caratterizzata da una produzione estremamente diversificata, nella quale spiccano i settori vitivinicolo e quello della coltivazione dei funghi in grotta.

Simboli
Lo stemma e il gonfalone sono stati concessi con regio decreto del 23 luglio 1937.

Il gonfalone in uso è un drappo di azzurro bordato di giallo.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose

 Chiesa di Santa Maria Maddalena (Longare)
 La più antica sede parrocchiale con giurisdizione su questa zona - secondo quanto scriveva Francesco Barbarano nel Seicento - era stata la chiesa di Secula, dedicata ai santi Vito, Modesto e Crescenzia (quindi di chiara origine benedettina) a suo tempo sottoposta all'abbazia di San Mauro di Costozza, che serviva entrambe le ville di Longare e di Secula: "In essa tenevasi il fonte battesimale con il SS. Sacramento".

 Questa chiesa più antica, con annesso cimitero, era ancora funzionante agli inizi dell'Ottocento, ma non più nel 1868"Essendosi poi molto moltiplicato il popolo di Longare ben fu giudicato trasferirvi anco la parrocchia di Secula, per il qual'effetto fu destinata la chiesa di S. Maria Maddalena". Questa era stata costruita - appunto a Longare - nel 1303; in vari documenti del Tre-Quattrocento veniva nominata Ecclesia Sancte Marie de Longare, mentre in un atto del 1418 era intitolata a Santa Maria Maddalena. "Aveva tre altari e nel maggiore eravi (quando scriveva il Maccà, agli inizi dell'Ottocento) una bella tela di Alessandro Maganza.

 La chiesa di Longare però, posta in un "sito basso, tra i due fiumi Bacchiglione e Bisato", era "soggetta ad essere allagata dalle acque nelle loro maggiori escrescenze … si determinò di costruirne un'altra". La costruzione della nuova chiesa iniziò nell'anno 1796 "in un sito bello e lontano dalle acque, cioè nel luogo borgato ai piedi del monte, accanto alla strada pubblica che conduce a Vicenza, e fu fabbricata assai più magnifica della prima con tre altari. L'altar maggiore isolato è di marmo carrarese. Ha un bel tabernacolo con colonne e incrostature di verde antico. Era della chiesa di Santa Maria Nova di Vicenza. In diverse nicchie dipinse a chiar'oscuro Giacomo Ciesa, pittore vicentino. Di essa fu architetto il conte Ottone Calderari ed esecutore Giacomo Fontana." Fu inaugurata il 14 ottobre 1804 "con grandiosa solennità e numeroso concorso di popolo della città e delle altre ville circonvicine in processione si trasportò il SS. Sacramento e le altre sacre reliquie nella nuova chiesa, ove da cantori fatti venire da Vicenza si cantò la prima messa con orazione e panegirico adattata alla solennità di quel giorno". La torre campanaria fu invece costruita circa cent'anni più tardi.

Al suo interno è conservata una pala autografa dei Maganza, che proveniva dalla chiesa antica, raffigurante la Maddalena nell'atto di ungere i piedi di Gesù. Le nicchie ai lati della porta d'ingresso contengono le statue di santa Maria Maddalena e di san Giovanni Battista, che si ritiene appartenessero anch'esse alla chiesa precedente.

 Oratorio della Beata Vergine del Carmine (Secula)
 L'attuale edificio fu fatto costruire dai conti Valmarana, forse in sostituzione dell'antica chiesetta di Sant'Odorico, appartenente alla scomparsa villa Valmarana Bassani, distrutta da un incendio nel 1927. Eretto dall'architetto luganese Francesco Muttoni - lo stesso cui probabilmente i Valmarana fecero ricorso per il rifacimento della pieve di San Mauro a Costozza, con la quale l'oratorio ha molte analogie - è una delle poche vestigia rimaste nella parte di Secula, una volta ricca di ville signorili. L'oratorio era funzionante agli inizi dell'Ottocento, come si ricava dalla visita pastorale del vescovo Pietro Marco Zaguri. In seguito passò in proprietà della famiglia Bassani, che nel 1990 lo donò alla parrocchia di Longare.

 Nel 1724 l'oratorio era ultimato e intitolato alla Beata Vergine del Carmine, a san Gaetano Thiene e a santa Teresa d'Avila, le cui statue ornano l'altare, sorretto da un viluppo di putti e ghirlande di fiori, che creano un insieme di festoso e aggraziato barocco. La statua centrale della Madonna viene attribuita a Orazio Marinali, la cui sigla risulta apposta alla base. Diverso è l'autore delle quattro statue - anch'esse tutte in pietra bianca di Vicenza ma probabilmente create in un momento successivo - poste in nicchie all'interno dell'oratorio (san Giuseppe, sant'Antonio da Padova, sant'Eurosia e san Francesco Saverio) le cui sagome ricordano quelle coeve della Pieve di San Mauro a Costozza.

Ville
 Villa Scroffa Donadello (Secula)
 L'edificio della metà del Quattrocento conserva ancora alcuni elementi gotici: nel settore sinistro della lunga facciata una trifora accecata e due monofore separate da una larga canna fumaria. La barchessa del XVI secolo conserva poderosi pilastri in pietra di Nanto, recanti lo stemma della famiglia Scroffa. Attualmente è sede di un'azienda agricola a conduzione familiare.

 Villa Scroffa Bassani (Secula)
 Il complesso sorge poco al di fuori dell'abitato storico e a breve distanza dal Bacchiglione. Presenta una struttura articolata intorno ad una corte centrale, in parte lastricata in cotto; sul fianco occidentale si alza il corpo padronale preceduto da un giardino, mentre sul fianco orientale bassi edifici si uniscono ad una piccola barchessa porticata.

Villa Bassani
 Fu fatta costruire nel 1927 da Enoch Giovanni Bassani dopo l'incendio che distrusse villa Valmarana Bassani. Realizzata in stile Liberty, come altre esistenti nella zona, è caratterizzata da una preesistente cantina ricavata da una grotta, dalla casa colonica e dalla limonaia vicine alla casa padronale, realizzata totalmente in mattoni.

 Villa Peserico
 Costruita verso la metà del Cinquecento, ha subito radicali modifiche alla fine dell'Ottocento. Al piano nobile della facciata che dà sul cortile resta una loggia tuscanica (ora tamponata) con tre colonne su alti piedistalli e pilastri alle estremità. All'interno si trova un maestoso scalone a due rampe e balaustra.
 La parte settentrionale, dove un'alta monofora con balaustra è sovrapposta al portale d'ingresso, è in cattivo stato di conservazione, mentre la parte meridionale è stata ristrutturata e presenta una successione regolare di fori rettangolari riquadrati.

 Villa Barbaran Capra
 Chiamata anche "villa dalle eleganti torrette", sorge in posizione elevata rispetto al centro storico dietro la chiesa parrocchiale; costruita nel XVIII secolo ha subito strutturali rifacimenti agli inizi del Novecento, quando la torretta anteriore è stata inglobata nella casa ed è stata aggiunta la vicina barchessa. In un ulteriore intervento del 1911 sono state aggiunte, oltre alla torre posteriore, le finiture neogotiche e decorazioni in stile liberty che nel 1960, a seguito del rifacimento degli intonaci, sono andate perse.

 Villa Righi Zannini (Bugano)
 Secondo le ricerche dello storico Maccà fu chiamata la residenza dei "Signori de Bugano". Le sue origini risalgono al Duecento e tracce di quel periodo rimangono a tutt'oggi nella torre, la scuderia e la "Cantina di Bugano" scavata nel colle sotto l'antica torre, dalle originali caratteristiche architettoniche e di climatizzazione naturale. La parte centrale del complesso fu costruita dalla Famiglia Righi tra la fine del Seicento e gli inizi del Settecento con loggia e torre merlata che ricorda l'antica colombara. Alla villa era annesso l'oratorio della Beata Vergine del Carmine distrutto nel 1864. databile intorno al 1700. Dal 1911 la villa ospita la famiglia Zannini.

 Villa Zambon Zannini (Bugano)
 Originale complesso posto sulle pendici collinari coltivate a vigneto, formato da tre edifici separati: il corpo padronale, allungato e orientato est-ovest, e due edifici rustici che lo fronteggiano sul lato meridionale, con ampio giardino davanti alla villa e parco con alberi secolari sul retro. Il corpo di fabbrica aggiunto sul lato orientale della villa è recente.

 Villa Vaccari (Bugano)
 Costruito alla fine dell'Ottocento, l'edificio è situato in posizione elevata, in località Colderuga. La sua eleganza liberty, con le vetrate colorate, ben si armonizza con il paesaggio collinare circostante. Si compone di tre corpi distinti ed autonomi: il villino di linee tardo-ottocentesco, un annesso rustico e una torre venatoria, ora in disuso, inseriti in un vasto parco di gusto romantico corredato da architetture in pietra..

        {
            responseLabel.Text = "ERROR -- DATE MUST BE IN THE PAST -- Please select a date in the past.";
        }

    }

A: What does errorString ? It is not used in the code provided...
Else the problem is that you always set the label text with:
responseLabel.Text = "Hello " + textBox + "! You will be " + ageCalculation + " on " + futurePicker.ToShortDateString() + '\n' + "A date that is " + (futurePicker - today).Days + " days from now";

Even if you set it before using the ErrorReturns method.
You can do that:
private bool CheckDate()
{
  DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
  DateTime birthdatePicker = birthDateTimePicker.Value;
  DateTime futurePicker = futureDateTimePicker.Value;

  if ( futurePicker < today )
  {
    responseLabel.Text = "ERROR -- DATE MUST BE IN THE FUTURE -- Please select a date in the future.";
    return false;
  }
  else
  if ( birthdatePicker > today )
  {
    responseLabel.Text = "ERROR -- DATE MUST BE IN THE PAST -- Please select a date in the past.";
    return false;
  }
  else
    return true;
}

And now you can write:
private void executeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  string textBox = nameTextBox.Text;
  DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
  DateTime futurePicker = futureDateTimePicker.Value;
  int AGE = 0;
  string errorString = null;

  int ageCalculation = calcAge(AGE);

  if ( CheckDate() )
    responseLabel.Text = "Hello " + textBox + "! You will be " + ageCalculation + " on " + futurePicker.ToShortDateString() + '\n' + "A date that is " + ( futurePicker - today ).Days + " days from now";
}

I have not checked the logic of what you do, here it only solve the display.
To have a better UX you should not use the same label, but another thing, another label/image in red, or a message box, for example, so the user is better advised of what's happend.

A: On top of what other colleagues already mentioned regarding passing the "errorStringReturn" as null (which does not make any sense), are you sure that any of the conditionals above are reached?
Please, make a test and change the following to "futurePicker", just to see if you are able to return the error to the responseLabel.
    else if (futurePicker  > today)
    {
        responseLabel.Text = "ERROR -- DATE MUST BE IN THE PAST -- Please select a date in the past.";
    }

Another question, does the responseLabel shows the message "Hello.." in the beginning?

SS Yarmouth Castle Fire Yarmouth Cruise Lines near Miami, Florida – November 13, 1965 the fire on Yarmouth Cruise Lines, SS Yarmouth Castle caused the death of 88 Passengers and 2 Crew.
Jonathan Hamilton, age 14, died in the fire aboard the SS Yarmouth Castle on November 13, 1965. He embarked on a Caribbean cruise from Miami, Florida for Nassau on November 12, 1965 with 376 passengers and 176 crewmen aboard, a total of 552 people. Jonathan was on the cruise with his family. His Mother Mary Hamilton was severely injured in the fire, and lost a leg afterwards.
In room 610, located on the main deck in the bow of the ship, a fire had begun smoldering on the evening of November 12th. Debates would rage as to how the fire started. Some say arson, others say stupidity was the culprit. Though arson was never proven, stupidity was.There was no sprinkler head in room 610. Other sprinklers head were not working. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) investigation showed that room 610 was not empty contrary to what the Yarmouth Castle Greek Captain, Byron Voutsinas, age 35, testified, instead full of old mattresses, papers, old wall panels, broken chairs and other highly flammable debris such as paint, floor cleaner and wax.
After the fire, more stupidity came to light. The USCG found no general alarm was sounded to warn passengers. The radio man claimed he had left his post, and when he became aware of the fire, could not make his way back to the radio shack. It was this same explanation given for the crew of Yarmouth Castle never calling out a SOS distress signal to alert those vessels able to assist in the rescue.
During recent renovations, the windows to outside cabins were sloppily painted, resulted in window frames being painted shut. Painting everything and everything was also the problem with lifeboat ropes painted so thick, they would not slide through the winches so they could be lowered.
Some of these contributing factors to the deaths of the 88 passengers and two crew aboard were confirmed by Oscar Benet. Benet and his wife were booked into cabin 703 right above room 610. Benet said that the window in his cabin was painted shut, he had to kick it out so they could evacuation after finding fire in the hallway. When they made it to a lifeboat, it was full.
Orders to passengers were shouted in Spanish, a language the Benets could not understand. They made it to a second lifeboat, but the ropes to lower it were painted and they stuck in the winches. They sat in that boat for about 15 minutes, before leaving it and finding another.
Of the thirteen lifeboats, only six were launched. The first lifeboat launched had 20 people in it. Of the 20, only four were passengers, none of them women or children. The other 16 were comprised of the captain and 15 crew members. The next two lifeboats also were full of crew.
These lifeboats arrived at the freighter Finnpulp. The Finnpulp had been eight miles ahead of the Yarmouth Castle when crew noticed on their radar that Yarmouth had slowed, and looking back could see flames coming from her.
The captain, John Lehto ordered his freighter turned around full steam ahead and organized the rescue. He pulled his vessel along side Yarmouth Castle and began evacuating passengers right onto his ship. When flames pushed him back, he backed off, lowered his lifeboat and sent it to Yarmouth Castle. Imagine his surprise, when the first of Yarmouth Castle's own lifeboats arrived with her cowardly captain and crew aboard and only four passengers. Lehto became angry, took the four passengers aboard, but ordered Voutsinas and his crew back to their ship to assist in the rescue of their passengers. Had two rescue ships not arrived on the scene almost immediately, the survivors would have been 99% crew.
Later, Voutsinas would testify that he was not a coward, and in fact was the last to leave his ship, an honor no captain takes lightly. The testimony of Captain Lehto cleared up any doubt as to the moral character and leadership of the young Captain Voutsinas, and most of his crew.
The passenger liner Bahama Star had been following Yarmouth Castle, and was about twelve miles behind her. Her captain, Carl Brown saw the smoke and fire aboard the Yarmouth Castle around 0220 hours and radioed the USCG. He increased his speed and raced toward the stricken cruise ship.
Captain Brown order his lifeboats into the water and had them pull along side Yarmouth Castle's starboard side. Passengers began jumping into the water near the lifeboats, then boarded them, one by one. Seeing the effort by Captain Brown, Captain Lehto ordered his motorboat into the water to quickly tow Brown's lifeboats back to the Bahama Star, unload the passengers, so they could quickly return for more survivors.
Captain Brown of the Bahama Star later reported hearing sounds of great panic coming from Yarmouth Castle. He recalled hearing cabin doors being broken down, as well as glass breaking as passengers pushed back by flames in the hallway, tried to exit their cabin windows. He said he could hear a great many people screaming.
Both Brown and Lehko spoke of a low groaning sound heard throughout the rescue, which was determined to be steam escaping Yarmouth Castle's whistle.
Benches, deck chairs, mattresses and luggage were thrown from the burning ship to people struggling in the water.
Two captains and their well-organized, quick acting rescue plan saved the lives of hundreds that day, when one inept crew and captain, failed their passengers miserably.
By 0400 hours all survivors were off the blazing cruise ship, and at 0600 hours she sank.
Of the 90 people who died as a result of the fire, only two were crew. Stewardess Phyllis Hall and Dr. Lisardo Diaz-Toorens, the ship's physician were the two crew who went down with the ship.
Fourteen critically-injured people were taken by helicopter from Bahama Star to Nassau hospitals. The passenger ship Bahama Star rescued 240 passengers and 133 crewmen. The freighter Finnpulp rescued 51 passengers and 41 crewmen.
In all, eighty-seven people went down with the ship, and three of the rescued passengers later died at hospitals.
Seaman Terry Wise stayed aboard the Yarmouth Castle, and was credited with rescuing dozens of passengers. He was called a hero, and was later given a medal for his, selfless heroic effort, when other crew fled.
The Yarmouth Castle disaster led to the creation of the Safety of Life at Sea law (SOLAS) in 1966. This law brought new maritime safety rules, requiring fire drills, safety inspections and structural changes to new ships, that exclude wood products from structural composition.
Under SOLAS, any vessel carrying more than 50 overnight passengers is required to be built entirely of steel. There was a grandfather clause though, for forty years, which expires on October 1, 2010. This explains the recent wave of older ships being sold to businesses aboard for use as museums and hotels, while others have been broken down.
Yarmouth Castle was built in 1927 by the William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was christened Evangeline. The ship was 365 feet long and measured 5,002 gross tons. At the time of the fire she was owned by Yarmouth Cruise Lines and registered in Panama.
Panama refused to take action against the captain and his crew.
Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about the tragic incident, The Ballad Of The Yarmouth Castle.

I was born the only child of three in my family to have dark hair and a largebirthmark on my temple. My older sister and younger brother—I am the middle child—both have beautiful blonde hair, and my dark hair color alone always made me feel different as a child. The birthmark on my face, though, sealed the deal in making me unique. Later, when I was the only one to develop...

After directing nine episodes of The Patty Duke Show in its first season, with his final season-one episode occurring in May of 1964, William Asher began directing another production that coincidentally, just like The Patty Duke Show, featured twins: Bewitched. The series was created by Sol Saks, who previously and subsequently worked with Sherwood Schwartz, creator of Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch. Saks wrote only the pilot episode and claimed the concept was based on ideas from the films I Married a...
