CENTER POINT, Alabama --- The Center Point Women's Preservation Society will have its fall festival on Nov. 3 at Reed-Harvey Park on Polly Reed Road.

The Center Point Women's Preservation Society works to save old homes and buildings in Center Point and put them to useful purposes for the city, according to Betty Henderson, who is founder and president of the group.

The festival will include live music and entertainment, vendors for arts and crafts, vintage clothing, Alabama and Auburn gear, jewelry, purses and accessories, and food.

For children, there will be pony rides and other rides, slides, a moon walk and more.

The festival is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Henderson said vendors and volunteers are needed. For information, call 853-7063.

Reed Harvey Park is at 335 Polly Reed Road.

Center Point fall festival to benefit historic home restoration

Marion Peterson stands in front of the Simes House main entrance, a trusty Scottish terrier by her side. Her Mary Janes look new or carefully preserved, and someone has made sure the flower on her hat is positioned over her left ear. Its the late 1920s and Peterson, a toddler at the time, was visiting her grandparents, who were caretakers of the Simes House, back when the site served as a sort of refuge for young women, according to Simes House Foundation Vice President Will Shain.

The old picture of Peterson has a place in the archive of Simes House memorabilia that keeps growing. The homes rich history dates to its creator, Joseph Simes, a sea captain who commanded the tea trade and built this imposing structure in 1863 on a 75-acre spread. Eight fireplaces, a widows walk, sweeping staircase, mansard roof and plaster moldings screamed success back then and whisper of another time when lights out meant complete darkness and Manomet was a rustic getaway, with a soundtrack rippling with the clip-clop of horses hooves.

The Simes House land, at 29 Manomet Point Road, has shrunk over the years, but still commands awe as work crews lovingly restore the home to its heyday. Thanks to $1.5 million in Community Preservation Act funds, this project is now officially under way. Scaffolding has risen around the house, and masons are repointing chimneys as roofers pound nails and construction crews replace sections of rotted wood.

Shain, along with his wife, Barbara, and former Fire Chief James Pierson, also Simes Foundation members, were excited to discover an original baluster beautiful and ornate compared to the rectangular ones someone installed in the home in later years. More of these original balusters will be created, the Shains said, and will help authenticate the restoration.

A mason working for Vereika Brothers, the contracting company that won the bid on the project, found bricks bearing B. Hedge, the name of a Plymouth brickworks dating to the 1830s. The Hedge family, famous in town for the historic Hedge House, included a brother, Barnabus Hedge, whose name is referenced on these bricks, Shain explained, noting the historic find helps tell the story of those who contributed to the Simes House construction.

The restoration project is being completed in phases. The exterior restoration comes first to ensure the building is weather tight. It should be completed within the next three months. After that, crews will move inside. The Foundation is also applying for a $100,000 matching state grant, through the Massachusetts Historical Commission (an effort endorsed by the towns legislative delegation), to help fund the interior work.

Pierson said his group plans to add sprinklers to the 6,800-square-foot home, which is slated to serve as the Manomet Village Community Center. The layout will include two offices on the second floor, with affordable housing units and caretakers quarters on the third floor. Outside, the driveway will sweep through a village green complete with a barn and benches. Plans for the gazebo have been replaced by an ever better idea, Barbara said, noting a barn for events and other outdoor get-togethers might be more practical and functional.

The goal is for the Simes House to be self-sustaining. A real estate broker has determined the office units and apartments could generate $30,000 to $40,000 annually money that could be used to maintain the center or support other community events and projects.

And, now that the Simes House property hosts Manomets Charlie Brown Christmas tree, which was moved from the edge of a parking lot on 3A near Lukes Liquors in April, this historic property will quickly become a community attraction. A tree lighting will be held here, Barbara said, and the whole town will be able to marvel at this now lush tree that began its life as a scraggly spruce.

Simes House Christmas tree ornaments will soon be available online for $25, with the proceeds benefiting the Simes House. This years 3-D golden ornaments feature the Charlie Brown tree, but there are also some of last years ornaments available depicting the Simes House.

SIMES HOUSE FOUNDATION: Restoration under way

One of the most far-reaching actions of the first years of the Restoration was a series of Navigation Acts, by which England imposed mercantilist restrictions on its empire. Attempting to eliminate the more efficient Dutch shipping from the American trade for the benefit of the London merchants, the Puritan Parliament in 165051 had prohibited foreign vessels from trading with America; goods to and from the colonies could only be carried on English or colonial ships, or on ships of the home country of growth or manufacture.

Fish imports and exports from England were limited to English ships alone. As part of the Restoration compromise, Charles II continued to gratify the London merchants and passed a series of Navigation Acts in 166063. Part of the commissioners' instructions, indeed, was to see to the enforcement of these acts.

The new Navigation Acts drastically restricted and monopolized American colonial trade, to the detriment of the colonies.

The Navigation Act of 166061

We have already seen the havoc caused in the Southern colonies by tobacco being made one of the enumerated goods. Among the others were sugar, cotton wool, and various dyes. The second important Navigation Act was the Staple Act of 1663, which provided that all goods exported from Europe to America must first land in England. Only a few colonial imports were exempt from this prohibition: salt, servants, various provisions from Scotland, and wine from Madeira and the Azores.

The Staple Act meant that English ships and merchants would monopolize exports to America, while English manufacturers selling to America would be privileged by extra taxes being levied at English ports on foreign exports to the colonies. The enumerated-articles provision ensured that these staples would be exported only by English merchants and in English ships. The English seizure of New Netherland was partly designed to complement the Navigation Act by crushing the Dutch freight trade with the New World.

The immediate impact of these acts on New England merchants and the New England economy was not great. New England imports were largely manufactured goods from England anyway, and thus were not greatly affected. And the restrictions such as the enumerated articles and the prohibition of direct imports of wines from the Canary Islands were simply ignored. The Massachusetts merchants blithely continued to ship enumerated articles direct to European ports for example, tobacco to Holland and to import goods direct from Europe. The New England merchants were happily able to save the South from immediate devastation at the hands of the Navigation Acts by first importing Southern tobacco to Boston and then exporting it direct to foreign countries.

In this way, the South, for a time, was enabled to avoid the drastic burden of the Navigation Acts. The distracted English government did not attempt to enforce any of these restrictions until the Anglo-Dutch wars were over in the mid-1670s. The position of the merchants was backed fully by the Massachusetts General Court, which declared that it simply was not subject to "the laws of England any more than we live in England." On this issue the Boston merchants and the Puritan theocracy were allied: the former to prevent British restrictions on their trade, the latter to keep England from interfering with the Puritan regime in Massachusetts.

Indeed, the Massachusetts merchants, able to avoid the restrictions of the Navigation Acts, were also able to take advantage of the provisions driving out their efficient Dutch competitors. The London merchants, having used governmental power to crush Dutch competitors, suddenly found to their dismay the Massachusetts merchants outcompeting them in marketing colonial products in Europe, in shipping, and in supplying the colonies with imported manufactures including European products competing with English goods. The king's revenue was of course diminished by direct trade with Europe, because the taxes levied at English ports were avoided.

The most flourishing trade in New England during the Dutch wars of the 1660s and 1670s was the essentially uneconomic supplying of war contracts to provision the English attempts at conquest. Massachusetts' major provisions were naval stores, especially masts, channeled through Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This became the biggest business seen in New England up to that time. Once again, London merchants were the key entrepreneurs in this trade, using their influence to obtain government war contracts.

Rick Tappan Joins GreenWorld Restoration(TM) as Director of Manufacturing

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 22, 2012) - Over the last seven years, GreenWorld Restoration has been designing and testing low-cost housing materials, construction processes and systems in environments with little to no water, wastewater and energy resources. Earlier versions of the housing platform were geared more toward international markets. As a result, GreenWorld housing solutions have been designed to be more environmentally friendly operating "on- or off-the-grid."

Version 10.0 of the GreenWorld Sustainable Housing Platform utilizes a traditional U.S. stick frame structure with recycled metal instead of wood, supported by exterior and interior structural walls incorporating special materials in order to make the homes more resistant to hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fire, heat, mold and termites. As a result, the homes are safer and more energy efficient, saving up to 40% off of utility bills.

Additionally, Version 10.0 of the GreenWorld Sustainable Housing Platform offers both permanent and temporary-to-permanent housing solutions. Permanent homes are constructed at the job site on top of a concrete or pier and beam foundation. As seen in the October issue of Tribeza magazine, temporary homes are constructed on-site or in the factory and are later capable of being converted into a permanent home meeting local building code requirements (http://www.tribeza.com/magazine_content/greener-side).

According to Michael Torres, President and CEO of GreenWorld Restoration, "At GreenWorld, it is our belief that You Don't Have to Lose Your Green to Go Green. Sustainable communities start with affordable sustainable homes. The times we live in call for all of us to think out of the box and take action. Version 10.0 of our Sustainable Housing Platform does just that."

GreenWorld Restoration(TM) Releases Version 10.0 of Its Sustainable Housing Platform(TM) for U.S. Market

A historic train caboose has made its final journey.

Caboose 715, one of a series belonging to Flaglers Florida East Coast Railway, left its base Oct. 1 at the Florida Pioneer Museum in Florida City for its new permanent home at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum near Zoo Miami.

The wooden caboose arrived at the Florida City museum in January 1967. It is believed to be the last of its kind of 60 previous existing Florida East Coast cabooses numbered 701-760.

We are happy to know that caboose 715 has a permanent home now, said Richard C. Beall, an engineer for Tri-Rail who took on the much-needed restoration project of the old girl three years ago.

But sending it to its permanent home at 12450 SW 152nd St., accomplished with a $6,500 anonymous donation, is one step toward saving the old caboose.

Caboose 715 is gradually deteriorating and the restoration phase requires $79,000 in funding, $8,000 which has already been donated, followed by the actual restoration.

In 2009, when Beall and his wife were dinning at the Capri restaurant across the street from the Florida Pioneer Museum, he went to visit the caboose.

There were large holes in the roof, and I could literally put my hand through her rotten siding on the south side, Beall said.

Bob Jensen, president of the Florida Pioneer Museum, said that community efforts have twice restored Caboose 715 to near original condition once after Hurricane Andrew only to have vandals destroy their work over time.

In fact, more damage came from vandals than hurricane Andrew, Jensen said.

The tourism minister paid tribute yesterday to everyone who helped to save, protect and conserve historic Fota House in Cork since it came into public ownership almost 40 years ago.

Leo Varadkar was speaking during his first visit to the property to mark the completion of a 2.5m four-year restoration project.

"Its great to be here at what is the official opening of the refurbishment of Fota House," he said.

"It now forms part of a whole cluster of attractions in the Cork Harbour area which has a huge amount to offer tourists, and hopefully we will see growth in that market in the next couple of years."

Fota House was originally a modest two-storey hunting lodge owned by the Smith Barry family, who lived in Britain.

In the 1820s, John Smith Barry decided to make Fota his home and he commissioned Irish architects Richard Morrison and his son, William, to convert the lodge into an elegant residence.

The house, which has more than 70 rooms, has remained virtually unchanged since and visitors today can glimpse the great craftsmanship that was found in Ireland in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It is home to one of the finest collections of Irish art in the country donated by the McCarthy family.
