The Government of Liberia has identified with victims of a devastating flood that swept through the Old Kru Community in Harper City, Maryland County.The flood incident, which occurred on June 1, affected more than 10 homes and rendered more than 200 people homeless.As a way of restoring hope by identifying with the victims, the government, through President Ellen Johnson, last Wednesday donated US$10,000 to the victims.She made the donation when she visited the victims, many of whom are presently seeking shelter in the UNMIL compound in Harper and other communities.The Liberian leader told the victims that the donation was government’s little way saying “never mind” to them for such an unfortunate situation.She clarified that the money will not be given to them directly as individuals, but has been deposited in a local bank from where it will be used to buy zinc and other building materials to begin the process of building new homes for them to start life anew.The Liberian leader called on the leadership of the county to ensure that the victims are relocated from the Old Kru Town community because it has now been established that the area is flood-prone.She mandated the local authorities to demolish every other structure in the area and try to do some tree planting to prevent future flooding.“We have been told that every two years flooding takes place and you people have to lose your belongings and start all over again.“I don’t really want you people to go back to that place. You all know that that place becomes flooded every two years; so there is no need for you to go back there. I learned that plans are underway for you people to be relocated some where better,” she said.President Sirleaf made a personal donation of 20 bags of rice, LD$10,000 in soup kind, bags of clothes, bags of slippers and other assorted materials, to the thunderous applause of the devastated victims.Maryland County Development Superintendent, Nathaniel Toe, told the Liberian leader that the county authorities have decided to have the victims relocated to the Jacksonville community which, according to him, is an ideal locality.Though the land on which the victims are to be relocated is public land, the challenge that remains is how to get proper documentation so that the process may begin immediately.“Plans are already at an advanced stage to have these people relocated to a community called Jacksonville, but the little problem we have is about acquiring documentations for the land, which we intend to work on very soon,” Mr. Toe said.He promised to ensure that the land is surveyed and deeds are presented to each of the victims upon being relocated, so that the property may become their own.President Sirleaf had earlier demanded that the victims, upon relocation, be given the deeds of the land so that they may “own something too.”Marylanders’ Gratitude for UniversityMeanwhile, citizens of Maryland Country have expressed overwhelming gratitude to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for her commitment to improving education in their county by re-opening the William V.S Tubman College and transforming it into a University.According to them, the institution is turning Liberia’s Southern Eastern region into an academic hub and has attracted Liberians and foreign nationals.Our reporter travelling with the President, who was in Maryland County, said the citizens, including elders, women groups and the county’s Marketing Association, said TU is gradually transforming the face of the county.Some of them who spoke with the Daily Observer stated that upon graduation from high school, students now do not need to travel all the way to Monrovia, which is over 300 miles away, to seek higher education, as the TU also offers “quality education” that any institution of higher learning offers in Monrovia.Thanks for ElectricityThe Marylanders further thanked President Sirleaf for bringing affordable electricity through the West Africa Power Poll (WAPP) project.The citizens said some of the major challenges that they are now facing have to do with the road and the ever-soaring exchange rate, which they said is hampering businesses in the area.The citizens had an exchange with the President at a town hall meeting held in the Harper City Hall upon her arrival.She arrived Wednesday morning in that coastal city. Many county officials and ordinary citizens were gathered to welcome her.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
WHITTIER – A memorial service for Thelma Sinnitt, a World War II U.S. Navy veteran who went on to become an award-winning artist, will be held at 10 a.m. May 23 at Granada Heights Friends Church in La Mirada. Born March 11, 1920, in St. Louis, Mo., Sinnitt had been a resident of Whittier for 50 years. She died of natural causes at Whittier Hospital Medical Center, said her son, Dennis Moonitz of South Whittier. Recently, she had been living in Whittier Hills Health Center. In an interview for this newspaper that appeared Feb. 11, 1997, Sinnitt said she joined the Waves, the women’s division of the Navy, as soon as women were invited to enlist. From 1987 on, she painted every Monday afternoon in Carman Leong’s oil painting classes. During that period her work, especially her portraits, won many top awards. Sinnitt is survived by her brother, Arthur Leighton, of Norfolk, Va.; son Dennis Moonitz of South Whittier; five grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. Sinnitt has been cremated and her ashes will be spread at sea off of Portugese Bend. – From staff reports160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! Trained as a yeoman at Stillwater, Okla., she served two years at Great Lakes Naval Base, then finished out her enlistment at the women’s barracks on Coronado Island in Southern California. After her separation from the Waves, Sinnitt married the man to whom she had been engaged for several years. She gave birth to their son. After divorcing her first husband, Sinnitt entered Hollywood Artists Center School and met and married artist Stan Sinnitt. Working as a private secretary for Moore Business Forms in Los Angeles, she moved with the company to Whittier 50 years ago, where she became absorbed in her art and community service. She served as a volunteer for the Rio Hondo Chapter of the American Red Cross, Friendly Hills Health Care Network, and the Whittier Senior Citizens Center.

FINN HARPS have moved one step closer to their dream stadium in the Twin Towns.It follows the confirmation that the first phase of the draw-down for the development will be undertaken in January.After years of legal red tape, the club’s Stadium Development officer, Patsy Lafferty, said he expects the prject to begin in the coming weeks.Harps plans to move to the new 6,600 seater stadium has been an uphill struggle for the club after it was first mooted at a shareholders meeting as far back as 2004.But now it appears the project, which will be located on an adjacent site next to the Finn Valley Centre, is now more of a reality than just a dream. So far the Government has pledged €1.25 million to the project with local builder Joseph McMenamin being awarded the building contract in 2006.Mr Lafferty said he was confident that once the first phase of the money is drawn down, then the builders can move in on a full-time basis until such time as the new stadium is completed.HARPS MOVE ONE STEP CLOSER TO STADIUM DREAM was last modified: December 31st, 2010 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

Story Links After a tough start, sophomore Kelsie Stone (Hoffman Estates, Ill.) tallied five saves in the match and with the Bulldogs’ backline, that features several new players after the graduation of multiple key players from last season’s championship team, buckled down and helped fend off 17 shots, including seven on goal by the Dons. Live Stats vs. Fresno State 8/19/2018 – 11 AM Twice, Drake nearly evened the score out of the halftime break. First, sophomore Olivia Bruce (Lakeville, Minn.) sent her shot off the crossbar and just two minutes later, junior Shelley Lyjak (Bartlett, Ill.) nailed the crossbar again with her own shot. Later, senior Alyssa Brand (Skokie, Ill.) had her own shot sail high over the goal. Preview Following Friday’s opener, Drake ends its trip to Missoula, Mont., Sunday against Fresno State. First kick is scheduled for 11 a.m. CST. Print Friendly Version Full Schedule Roster San Francisco (1-0) recorded two goals in the first two minutes, but Drake (0-1) quickly had an answer to get right back into the game. Freshman Allison Walls (Kansas City, Mo.) scored her first career goal in the fifth minute (5:21) with a shot from eight yards out that hit off a Dons’ defender. However, the Bulldogs aggressive play the rest of the first half and carried over to the second period was unable to net the equalizer as the Dons claimed the neutral site victory. MISSOULA, Mont. – San Francisco scored two early goals against the Drake University women’s soccer team in a 2-1 win Friday afternoon in the season opener for each team at the Montana Cup. Next Game: Watch Live “Obviously not the start to the game we wanted, but we showed grit to get ourselves back in the game quickly,” said head coach Lindsey Horner. “We had the momentum coming out of halftime but just couldn’t find the equalizer. Lyjak and Bruce both hit the crossbar, but by the midpoint of the second half it was more of a back and forth game.” “We will undoubtedly look for a better start on Sunday, Horner said. “Less the critical first two minutes, there were a lot of positives to build from. Our backline and goalkeepers are made up of a lot of new faces and gained experience playing in this tough game. Sunday will come quick, but it will be a great opportunity to build on our second half.” PDF Box Score
