Creating A 'Memory Wound' To Recall Those Who Were Lost Hide caption

This illustration, provided by artist Jonas Dahlberg, shows his vision for a "memory wound" in Norway to memorialize the dozens of people who were killed by a right-wing extremist in 2011.

This illustration shows how visitors will be able to look out from one side of the gap at a wall where names of the victims will be inscribed. The space between is meant to symbolize how those who were killed are gone and irreplaceable, but are not forgotten.

Visitors to the memorial walk on a wooden pathway, through a tunnel and then emerge at the edge of the severed peninsula across from the island where the shooting occurred.

An illustration of what the cut in the peninsula across from Utoya island will look like. The material that's removed will become part of a second memorial site in Oslo.

On a July day in 2011, the world first heard of a small island off Norway called Utoya under the most terrible circumstances. The island was a youth camp for Norway's Labor Party. On that summer day, a heavily armed right-wing extremist stepped onto Utoya and began to walk across it, shooting at random.

Madison County

A $3,000 landscape grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation will be funding a makeover of the Iron County Courthouse lawn.

MDC Landscape Architect Tim Prevert recently presented a landscaping plan to the Iron County Commission.

The plan was the result of conversations that took place between Presiding County Commissioner Don Barzowski, local MDC Forester Matt Jones and MDC forestry employee Rob Cofer.

Several highlights of the plan include the removal of the sweetgum tree on the northeast corner of the courthouse lawn. It will be replaced by a white pine that will serve as a community Christmas tree in the years ahead.

The large sugar maple by the cannons will also be removed because of what appears to be internal problems and its interference with the power lines.

The main focus of the design are four Cherokee Princess Dogwood trees that will be placed at the front of the courthouse. The holly bushes will be removed.

Other plantings will include maple trees, a willow oak, redbuds and a service berry.

Planting is expected to begin next month, weather permitting. The landscape plan is available for public viewing at the Iron County Courthouse.

WILLIAMSBURG

Just 18 days after forming Colonial Williamsburg Inc. and the Williamsburg Holding Corporation on Feb. 27, 1928, preservation pioneer W.A.R Goodwin made one of his most important hires.

Over the following 13 years, landscape architect Arthur A. Shurcliff would not only help define the look and feel of the emerging Historic Area but also make Colonial Revival garden design a nationally influential force in shaping the 20th-century American landscape aesthetic.

Arthur Shurcliff was the original and principal architect behind the Colonial Revival gardens that helped make Colonial Williamsburg's landscape design world-famous. (Lombardi; Barbara Temple / February 4, 2009)

"From the very beginning, Williamsburg's restorers appreciated the importance of reconstructing the gardens and greens as well as the houses and shops," write M. Kent Brinkley and Gordon W. Chappell in "The Gardens of Colonial Williamsburg."

And the "clear, simple, direct, energetic and, personally, very charming" Shurcliff -- as he was described by his colleague and lead restoration architect William Graves Perry -- served not only as the original and principal architect of the Historic Area's world-renowned landscape but also -- as Brinkley and Chappell note -- "a pivotal figure in the development of the discipline of landscape architecture in America."

Educated in engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in art history, design and horticulture at Harvard University, Shurcliff began his career in 1896 working in the famed Brookline, Mass. office of Frederick Law Olmstead Sr. -- the father of landscape architecture in America.

In 1904, he set up his own practice in Boston, where he drew national attention for his work on the layout of Old Sturbridge Village and the Charles River Esplanade in Boston, among many other projects. He also was influential in the early development of the American Society of Landscape Architects, where he served two terms as president (19281932).

Shurcliff had more than 30 years experience, in fact, when he began developing designs for Colonial Williamsburg on March 17, 1928, and he was well known for an academic style marked by its fondness for symmetry and geometric features.
