In praise of extraordinary ord

AMONG the many joys of working in newspapers is the variety of the job.

While often rubbing shoulders with the great and the good, it's much more satisfying to meet and be able to tell the stories of ordinary people who sometimes do extraordinary things.

Take, for example, Dot and Bernard Martin, who live near Cowley Bridge.

How many of us have driven past their home and seen the mannequin in their front garden, always dressed for the occasion, be it Wimbledon, Valentine's Day, Remembrance Day Valentino Replica or Christmas? It never failed to raised a smile - except, of course, when the original shop dummy was stolen six years ago.

Undeterred, the couple found a replacement and continued to bring a little pleasure into so many lives.

So it is with some sadness that we report on Page 8 today that the mannequin is joining Dot and Bernard, now both in their 80s, in retirement.

ulysse nardin watch

May we wish all three the very best, and thank them for the smiles.

Another of those extraordinary ordinary people is Hugh Scudder, director of local charity Christian Response. For a number of years he has been a tireless fundraiser for, and champion of, the people of Moldova, and has always been incredibly well supported by Express & Echo readers.

Among his many successes was the treatment provided in the UK for young Vasiliy Paliy, who lost his lower arms in an accident, and little Timi Ignatuic, who was helped to walk after being disabled since birth.

More recently, Hugh had been trying to help 20-year-old Dmitrii Potapov, who was paralysed after a brutal attack in Moscow. Tragically, as we report on Page 14 today, Dmitrii has died. Hugh has pledged to carry on supporting the young Christian Louboutin Flats man's family. We know he will not be deterred in his good work, and are sure he will continue to be supported by our readers.

The Echo has, of course, for many years now run its popular Bouquet of the Week feature, in which we are happy to highlight the normally unsung heroes of the city and beyond.

Yesterday, we honoured Malcolm Pomeroy, who has worked as a volunteer for Hospiscare for a quarter of a century. On being presented with his bouquet he immediately thought of others, asking if there was anyone in the Exeter hospice who did not have fresh flowers that night.

Amid all the doom and gloom of the economy and government spending cuts, it's refreshing to spend a moment or two thinking about those who selflessly and tirelessly give of themselves to help others in many ways, large and small.

So thank you Dot and Bernard, thank you Hugh, thank you Malcolm and thank you all the other fantastic people out there who make life that little bit better for everyone else.

Jaipur's men hammer AWAY!

Pink is no longer just for her and the pair harem pants in his wardrobe does not raise eyebrows anymore. Welcome to the era of new age dressing where boys do not shy away from flaunting 'girly' colours and it's women wear loose and comfortable boyish t-shirts, caps and shoes with ease and panache. "Fashion is all about breaking conventions and experimenting. We all know that men used to wear skirts in ancient times. I have designed some unisex clothes for my recent show in Hydera bad," says city designer Rohit Kamra. And the latest example of experimentation is men daring to wear harem pants. Though this new trend is yet to reach Jaipur in full force, but the trend is really gaining steam in metros like Delhi and Mumbai, informs fashion designer Himmat Singh Panwar.

"These pants enjoy a high popularity in the west. These pants originated in Germany, and that is why they are really popular in Europe," rolex watches he adds. But if men are exploring their feminine side, how can women lag behind? Known as a tomboy in her college, Alka Choudhary, a second year MBA student, says she has recently discovered the fun side of wearing men's loose t-shirts. "Initially, when I started wearing boys' clothes and caps, my friends and classmates made fun of my dressing style. But I choose to dress according to my comfort level," adds Alka.

Now, no one passes any comments or remarks on her dressing style. And why should they? After all, everyone has their Cheap Chanel Shoes own style statement. City businessman Devendra Pratap Singh, whose favourite colour is pink, says, "I can carry the colour really well. While some of my male friends will never try to wear pink, I get the most compliments when I wear this colour," says Devendra confidently. It seems that youngsters in the city echo his锟?sentiments.

Fashion designer Puja Arya says, "Anything锟?that is popularin the international market can be seen on the city's roads as well." She adds, "The experimental youth in the city wants to look different and does not mind trying out something new." So, let's forget those so-called gender constraints and celebrate

JANE SHILLING'S TV CHOICE

MEN ABOUT THE HOUSE 9PM, BBC4 Last night we considered fathers in literature -- hapless, ineffectual figures, most of them. Tonight it's the turn of dads in TV sitcoms. Admittedly the sitcom dad (such as Reggie Perrin, played by Leonard Rossiter, above), unlike his frequently absent literary counterpart, has to put in an appearance, so that we can laugh at him. But half a century of TV comedy finds the pater a beleaguered figure, reduced to asserting his authority by keeping, like Replica Lancel Handbags Jim Royle, a firm grip of the remote control.

EASTENDERS 8PM, BBC1 While sitcom fathers are much at the mercy of their unruly families, soap operas still harbour a few rare specimens of the Victorian paterfamilias in all his alarming splendour. Stenders alone has featured Johnny Allen of lamented memory, Phil Mitchell and now Godfearing Lucas, whose grim secret lies entombed beneath a fragile sapling. "If Liz omega watches starts to dig Owen up, it'll finish me and Lucas," remarks Denise. This is known as dramatic irony.

PLAYHOUSE: LIVE 9PM, SKY ARTS 2 Sinead Cusack and Pippa Bennet- Warner star in Toby Frow's production of Frank McGuinness's Crocodile. In this eloquent two-hander a nameless girl who has committed an unspeakable crime meets a lawyer who has dark secrets of her own. As their stories emerge the balance of power between the two women shifts.

THE UNTOLD GREAT FIRE OF LONDON 8PM, CH4 The British habit of reflex xenophobia, so strikingly in evidence during James Corden's World Cup Live discussions, has roots in our history. Tonight's Manolo Blahnik Shoes "untold" history considers the conspiracy theories that spread as quickly as the flames of the Great Fire of London. The day after the fire began, people began to suspect that the conflagration was no accident, so our old enemies, the Dutch and the French, got done over. Sound familiar?

A bridge to cross Hull women a

A GOOD AGE - NEVER TOO OLD TO TRY

If the kids can do it, maybe we can, too.And so, Betty Fish and Judy Moriarty set out across the "monkey bridge," one careful step at a time.

It's another story from the "never too late" school of life. It comes from a recent trip I took to Thompson Island in Boston Harbor. I joined a class from UMass-Boston's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). The group has been exploring some of the 34 islands in the Harbor Islands National Park - an exciting and unique Boston resource.

As we walked the trails, our leader, Suzanne Gall Marsh, spoke about the island's history and the Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center. The nonprofit educational group puts people of all ages in challenging situations where they can develop teamwork and confidence. Fake A Lange & Sohne Watches The outings are not just for children; corporations also send managers there to learn leadership skills.

When young people explore the island, they wear high rubber boots and go out into the marshland. They have to cross an inlet over a rope bridge, called the "monkey bridge" because it requires agility and balance.

We happened to go past the bridge on our walk. I glanced over at the ropes, assumed I would not even try to cross it and kept walking. Fish and Moriarty rose to the challenge.

"Ringling Brothers just called," one class member called out as each one ever so deliberately stepped their way across and back. The rest of us watched, joked, snapped photos and cheered.

Later, I mentioned that they had good athletic ability. Fish said she appreciated that because she never would have thought of herself as athletic when she was younger. In school, she said, there was no real physical education emphasis, no brown hobo handbags sports encouragement. It was similar for Moriarty.

A few years ago, in their early 60s, both of these enterprising Hull residents began to try new outdoor challenges and water sports. They are discovering new things about themselves - almost their own Outward Bound home schooling.

"We are grateful," they said of these new endeavors.

I admire them for their courage and attitude, the willingness to try new things without worrying about failing.

It doesn't matter how we find our opportunities in life, the important thing is to try. For some, the challenges are more inward, spiritual, intellectual. To each, her own.

Bass Pro faces date on Canal S

Buffalo has kept its end of the bargain with Bass Pro Shops, and after nine years, the fishing and hunting chain needs to either fish or cut bait in the next 14 days, Rep. Brian Higgins says.

Higgins, D-Buffalo, put his two-week ultimatum in a letter this week to Bass Pro founder Johnny Morris and James Hagale, its chief executive officer and president. He said he also told them he was publicly releasing the letter, which calls on the company to sign a lease to anchor the Canal Side development by Aug. 1.

"Buffalonians and Western New Yorkers have exhibited extraordinary patience since this project was first proposed in July of 2001," said Higgins, who has been the primary figure responsible for securing government funds for waterfront development.

"I write today because I must inform you that if Bass Pro Shops is either unable or unwilling to act on the lease within the next 14 days, I will insist that the officials of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. proceed with their initiative without Bass Pro's involvement," the letter said.

Higgins told The Buffalo News the process to bring Bass Pro to Buffalo has dragged on far too long and needs to come to a conclusion.

"We've done everything we've been asked to do. The environmental reviews are completed, the public financing is in place, and a lease agreement has been sitting with the Bass Pro folks for two months. It's just time," Higgins said.

The harbor corporation and the New York Power Authority finalized a deal last week that will provide $105 million for the waterfront project.

Larry Whiteley, spokesman for Bass Pro, said neither Morris nor Hagale was available Tuesday and the company had no comment on Higgins' ultimatum.

He expressed surprise when learning Higgins released the letter to the public.

Harbor corporation officials, who have continually expressed confidence that Bass Pro will come to Buffalo, also had no comment.

Bass Pro has been considered for the Buffalo waterfront since Robert and Mindy Rich approached Morris, their Florida neighbor, about coming at the start of the decade.

The company signed a nonbinding memorandum of understanding to come to Buffalo in 2005 and has been negotiating with harbor corporation officials on a lease since the environmental review process was completed in April.

As the proposed anchor tenant, Bass Pro has been presented as a catalyst for the $294.8 million, 21-acre waterfront development, which would include entertainment, dining and leisure activities.

Higgins said Buffalo was "well positioned" to develop birkenstock black sandals the waterfront without Bass Pro if necessary.

"There are many other opportunities to encourage investment in Canal Side," he said. "I'm just very confident where we're going with waterfront development, and people have every reason to be very, very optimistic that we will finally have the waterfront people have wanted for decades. And I expect to be held accountable."

The Buffalo congressman suggested some of the public money intended for Bass Pro could be used to construct a bridge he has championed that would connect downtown to the Outer Harbor, also Replica Watches

Bass Pro drops out as waterfro

Bass Pro Shops has been told by a growing chorus of Buffalonians and in an ultimatum issued last week by Rep. Brian Higgins -- to sink or swim.

On Friday, it sank.

Jim Hagale, president of the Springfield, Mo.-based outdoors retailer, told Higgins in a two-page letter it is pulling the plug, putting an end to a highly public courtship that began nine years ago.

Bass Pro had become a community lightning rod, and it was one of the factors Johnny Morris, the company's chairman, cited in explaining the company's decision to Jordan Levy, chairman of Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp.

Critics denounced the use of tens of millions in public subsidies to reel it in; demanded a living wage and other agreements in exchange for a transfer of city land; released a report that cast doubt on Bass Pro's ability to generate economic development and boost tax rolls; and filed a lawsuit claiming the project violated the state constitution.

In addition, Higgins, D-Buffalo, publicly released a letter sent to Morris and Hagale issuing a 14-day deadline for the company to sign a lease. The deadline was this coming Monday.

"The fact is, over the last six months and probably over the last six years, this has developed a life on its own, and we couldn't manage it," Levy said. "And I guess people in this community, small segments and pockets, just decided they wanted to see something else."

Despite the increasingly negative public reaction to Bass Pro, negotiations between the harbor corporation and the company continued at a robust pace up until Morris called a halt.

"If I was to use a sports analogy, we're probably at the five- yard line right now. It's very important that we don't fumble from here on in," Eric Recoon, Benderson's vice president of development and leasing, said Friday, only hours before Bass Pro's decision was made public.

Hagale's letter said a number of issues had not been settled as the deadline neared.

"There are numerous critical reasons for our position, including the fact that several major issues fundamental to the successful completion of the project remain unresolved," Hagale wrote.

Later, after acknowledging that "this process has taken far too long," Hagale wrote, "You stated in your letter that the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. could proceed successfully with the Canal Side project without our involvement. We believe this approach would be in the best interests of all parties . . "

Higgins said Bass Pro took advantage of the deadline to gracefully exit.

"They're not coming, but they never were. They've always wanted an out -- I gave them an out," the congressman said.

"The good thing is, we are going to make something of this waterfront, and for the first time in nine years, it's within our control as a community to make the best waterfront that will accrue to the life quality and economic vitality of the city and entire region."

At a news conference, Levy didn't hide his "thorough disappointment" over Bass Pro's withdrawal but expressed confidence that the planned mix of restaurants, entertainment, retail, office, residences and hotels will move forward.

Hilltopper wish list

With the academic year approaching, the cross-country summer blitz that is Amateur Athletic Union basketball is winding down.

And although August is, by rule, a "quiet period" in college basketball recruiting, don't expect to hear crickets chirp in the Western Kentucky men's basketball office at E.A. Diddle Arena.

The early signing period for the class of 2011 is roughly four months away, and the Hilltopper coaching staff is preparing to enter crunch time in terms of filling its recruiting wish list.

WKU already has one commitment for '11 in New Jersey shooting guard Derrick Gordon. Gordon - who currently plays with the nation's top-ranked '11 recruit, Kentucky commit Michael Gilchrist, at St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, N.J. - gave his verbal commitment to WKU in 2009 and is currently ranked No. 126 in Rivals.com's Top 150 for 2011.

Meanwhile, one player who could soon join Gordon in giving a verbal commitment to WKU is local buy timex watches power forward George Fant, who is entering his senior season at Warren Central High School.

At 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds, Fant has been on WKU's radar since his freshman season. Now on the cusp of his final run as a Dragon, the Hilltoppers still seem to be strong contenders to land Fant's talents.

"Western has been there the longest with him - they've recruited him very hard and they're still very much involved," Warren Central coach Tim Riley said earlier this week. "I think when push comes to shove, it'll be hard for George to say no to Western.

"But it all comes down to the fact that his parents both really understand the game and it'll be a family decision and what all of them are comfortable with."

On the other hand, while WKU was one of Fant's earliest suitors, his stock has risen dramatically over the last few years.

InsideHilltopperSports.com - a Rivals.com member site - lists Akron, Arkansas, nardin watches Cleveland State, Colorado State, Murray State, Ohio and Seton Hall as schools that have offered Fant. Fant also told the Daily News recently that both Clemson and Missouri State could be added to that list.

Riley said Fant has long wished to make a decision and sign a letter of intent during the early signing period this November. But that's hardly a guarantee.

"He's talked about making his decision in the fall, but I don't think that's a concrete thing just yet," Riley said. "He's talked about getting it over with, but I'm not really sure right now. We'll have to sit and talk about it more. But he has expressed before that he'd like to be a part of the early signing period in November."

Another in-state player in WKU's sights is Christian County senior point guard Anthony Hickey.

The 5-10, 160-pound speedster from Hopkinsville earned Region 2 Player of the Year honors as a junior last season, as well as a second-team all-state nomination, along with Fant.

Christian County coach Kerry Stovall calls Hickey one of "the fastest (players) with a basketball" who he's ever seen, and Hickey's offer sheet includes Lipscomb, Murray State, Oklahoma State and WKU, at least according to InsideHilltopperSports.com.

Stovall expects that list to lengthen after the summer AAU session ends. He says Hickey has been keeping his eye on the Hilltoppers for quite some time.

Highriver ladies not only toug

Ifinally figured out the secret... what separates women from men. Women putt out. "Women are tough," said one of my playing partners from the Highriver Ladies Golf Club on Thursday morning at Riverside Golf Course. Indeed, they are. None of this sniveling about a bad lie, no gimme putts and Mulligans... well, don't try any of that stuff or you might get a putter shaft over your head.

The Highriver Ladies were gracious enough to let a male reporter invade their space for 18 holes as long as I was willing to play by the rules of golf. What are those, anyway?

OK, I shouldn't harp too much on the toughness of these ladies. By and large, you can't help but smile when you play golf with the Highrivers. I would put the social aspect at about 30 percent , the actual game about 40 percent and the fitness aspect at 30 percent.

Maybe I should have left open 5 percent for a little anger release. Being a guest, I would imagine some of those usual expletives were changed for the day into "Oh my goodness," "Golly Geez Whizz," and "God bless us one and all."

It's amazing what happens when people see that you have a notebook in your back pocket.

Of course, there still were a few gems. I asked one member what she would be doing if she wasn't playing golf. "Cleaning the toilet," she said. That's a pretty good reason to be on the course. I asked another player if she played golf with her husband, who originally started Replica Franck Muller Watches her playing the game. She said not anymore. My reply was that it must be frustrating for him to see her playing when he can't. "No, he's just glad I'm out of the house," she said with a laugh. Before I started the round, I looked around the snack bar and asked what I could say about the makeup of the group. "We're old ladies," was one reply. Let's say experienced. These Highriver Ladies are experienced, mostly with life, and some golf. In one foursome, I did a quick count on career holes-in-one... kind of the Holy Grail for duffers. They had five between them. Myself, zero. In the next group of three, I asked how many artificial joints they had. Two hips and two knees made for a total of four. We got down the fairway easily, but I'm not sure how long it would take us to get through an airport.

We actually moved along the course quite well. Being a guy, I can repeat lots of stories about rounds where my playing partners walked up to the first tee, saw a ladies group and immediately would begin to moan about slow play.

The first group I joined on Thursday wasn't exactly playing polo out of their golf carts, but we moved right along.

Things didn't slow down until we came upon a twosome (both guys, of course).

Sure, that marking the ball one foot away from the hole probably would get old in the long sexy lingerie run, but there is very little wasted time coming down the fairway, such as their male counterparts' 10-minute searches for stray shots.

And another little something you probably didn't know. Not many women play with those girlie pink, orange or purple golf balls. Believe it or not, most of them use white. Go figure.

Replica Longines Watches

So here's the deal. If you are female, live in the area and have time on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning, you might want to give the Highriver Ladies a look.

Do you really want to spend all your time tending to those potted plants or rearranging the living room furniture? Replica Watches

Pre-loved bargains for booters

ON CALL: Reporter Faye Preston with her quirky item of the day - a pink lips telephone for Pounds 2.

EVERY summer, thousands of people descend on the region's car boot sales and markets. Over the coming weeks, the Grimsby Telegraph will be out and about speaking to traders and bargain hunters.

Here, we attend the Grimoldby Cricket Club car boot sale on Manby Airfield ...

SUNDAY morning. A time for most people to lie in and lounge about ... most people, that is, except car booters.

Grimoldby Cricket Club Car Boot Sale on Manby Airfield is not only popular among locals, it also attracts visitors from up and down the country. Whether buying or selling, hoards of people arrive at the airfield for 7am in the hope they will bag a bargain or steal a deal from the pre-loved items on offer.

Karen Spooner, secretary of Grimoldby Cricket Club, dedicates her Sunday mornings to the club by organising the car boot sale.

"We have had really busy car boots in the past with no buyers and then about 50 cars with loads of buyers. It varies but it is always very good here."

Karen said that often the winning ingredients for throwing a booming car boot sale are the weather and having a bit of variety on show.

She said: "There is certainly all sorts to choose from here. If you can think of something you want, you will more than likely find it here." The next Grimoldby Cricket Club Car Boot is on Sunday, June 27. Sellers should arrive for 7am, buyers for 8am. Stalls cost Pounds 5-Pounds 8.
