"How I See The World in 2050" by Eve, aged 11
Greed,
Dear reader,
Expect what you read to come and bite back,
Unless you curb your greedy appetitie,
From planet killers that are used so abundantly.
A muddy sheet of yellowy brown sky covers what`s above my head,
Echoing along the ground a solitary can clatters the only sound to meet my ears,
A chilling wind sweeps effortlessly, whistling and wailing like a crying child.
Is this all that`s left of the world I stand upon?
Of the animals that roamed freely?
Of all mankind that call this planet home?
Of the inventions so cleverly crafted?
Is this all that`s left?
I feel as if my heart has been torn from my chest,
Sadness eats up what`s inside me,
Like pollution did to our planet earth,
They warned us severely,
But we ignored and carried on our faults,
And our dear world crumbled like a biscuit,
Unable to cope with our innumerable mistakes,
It disintegrated to what it is now.
So I hope I have warned you of the horrific happenings to come,
As for you they are preventable,
But now for us, all I can say,
Ignorance killed our planet earth.
Postcards from the Past - Geology in England & Wales
Chris Darmon is currently leading Monday afternoon sessions discussing the geology of England and Wales. These take place in the premises of Totley Rise Methodist Church - it's great that an opportunity like this is so local!
Describing the Totley Rise sessions, Chris says:
Each week we will be looking at a different area of the geology of England & Wales, a kind of postcard from the past. The Yorkshire Coast, the Peak District, the Malvern Hills and Llandrindod Wells are just some of the places we'll be visiting on our geological journey. We're a lively group of interesting people who love to share our interest. New members are especially welcome.
We meet at Totley Rise Methodist Church from 2.30 - 4.30 on a Monday afternoon. The new 10-week course starts on Monday January 11. The cost is £40.00 (£35.00 for over-60s). For more information call Chris Darmon on 0114 245 5746 or email: chrisdarmon@geosupplies.co.uk
Chris also leads various site visits and walks, looking at the landscape and geological features of different localities, mainly during Spring and Summer.
Footpath across the recreation ground and tree planting - update
In addition a number of trees will be planted by the Parks and Countryside section of the City Council during February to replace those damaged during the recent drainage work and to fill some of the bare spots on the rec.
Dore Village Society would like to thank all those involved in the works and will continue to monitor this project and offer “top up” support with its own funds where necessary.
Residents can help maintain the stability of the ground by reporting immediately any unauthorised vehicles on the “Rec” to the police using their 101 number and describing those involved – but don’t approach them.
