Amy Vedder (born March 24, 1951 in Palatine Bridge, New York) is an ecologist and primatologist involved in conservation work with mountain gorillas.

Biography
Vedder was the Class of 1969 valedictorian at Canajoharie High School, Canajoharie, New York, and a 1973 graduate of Swarthmore College.

Vedder worked in Africa for the Peace Corps from 1973 to 1975. There she and her husband William Weber (Bill) worked in a small boarding school in rural south central Zaire. She taught the girls there by reminding them "You're special -- don't ever forget that". One day they asked her why she changed her name to her husband's if she believed everyone was special. She then decided to change her last name from Weber back to Vedder upon returning to the United States. Her time in Zaire inspired her interest in wildlife conservation. This feeling intensified at Zaire's Kahuzi-Biega National Park where she observed Casimir, an enormous male eastern lowland gorilla. This encounter made her want to work with wildlife in Africa after the Peace Corps.

In 1975, Vedder returned to the United States where she began searching for a graduate school where they could launch her career in wildlife conservation. She and Bill chose the University of Wisconsin–Madison. From one of their graduate program's classmates, the couple learned about British primatologist Richard Wrangham who recently visited Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. In October 1977 they met Dian Fossey in Chicago, where she accepted their research proposal and set a tentative date for their arrival in Rwanda.

In 1978 she arrived in Rwanda with her husband to study gorillas at Karisoke, the research station run by Fossey. They arrived right after poachers has killed a mountain gorilla named Digit who was famous due to Fossey's research. The couple had secured research funding from the Wildlife Conservation Society. There she tried to nurse a wounded gorilla named Mweza back to health but did not succeed. This experience left her and Bill angry. With that anger, they chose to focus on ways to help the gorilla population. Amy followed Gorilla Group 5 and wrote down everything they ate and where. This information helped her figure out the type of habitat and how much the gorillas needed. After six weeks of following the group, the gorillas started to accept her presence for longer periods of time. She took notes on a specific gorilla in the group each day, noting how often and what the gorilla ate.

After getting a doctorate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1989, she became Biodiversity Coordinator for the Wildlife Conservation Society, and later director of the conservation of the society's Africa Program.

One of Vedder's contributions was to implement the Mountain Gorilla Project (subsequently the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP)), which sought to involve local Rwandans and use ecotourism to help conserve the gorillas.

Norma Wilson (11 December 1909 – 10 July 2000) was a New Zealand athlete who represented New Zealand at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.

Born in Gisborne, New Zealand, she was a member of her local athletics club and by the time she was 18 years old she was dubbed the New Zealand Lady Flier by the media, she had twice equalled the 100 yards World Records but on both occasions the tracks were deemed seven inches too short.

Wilson was the first woman track athlete to represent New Zealand at an Olympics when she competed in the 100 metres, where even with the lack of experience in using a cinder track she finished second in her first round heat, before finishing in fifth place in the semi-final heat.

She told the “stuffed shirt” officials when she returned that New Zealand needed a cinder track. She also refused to run in a Basin Reserve appearance unless she could wear shorts, and in no time, all the girls were wearing shorts.

She married Ted Morgan, a New Zealand boxer at the same Olympics, in 1933 but divorced him in 1938. She then married Rangi Marsh, a jockey and lived in Hastings.

Aled Owen Roberts (17 July 1889 – 25 August 1949) was a Welsh Liberal, later Liberal National and finally Conservative politician, soldier and businessman.

Family and education
Roberts was born in Liverpool the eldest son of Robert Roberts, of that city. He was educated at Liverpool College. He married Ione Ruth Irwin from Stone, Staffordshire. They had two sons. Mrs Roberts died in 1940.

Soldier
During the First World War, Roberts served in the army. He achieved the rank of captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers in 1915 and served abroad from 1916 to 1919. During the Second World War, Roberts served as a lieutenant-colonel in the Home Guard after 1941.

Business
Roberts was a prominent figure in the business life of Liverpool. His main interests were in insurance. He was an insurance broker in his own firm, Aled O Roberts & Co. and an underwriter. He was a director in the firms of Morris & Jones Ltd, Provincial Insurance Co. Ltd, Monument Insurance Co Ltd and the Clarence Building Society.

Politics
In politics, Roberts started life as a Liberal. He unsuccessfully contested Liverpool East Toxteth at a by-election in 1929 and was also the candidate in that seat at the 1929 general election. He did enter Parliament for Wrexham at the 1931 general election as a Liberal in support of the National Government of Ramsay MacDonald and with the agreement of the local Conservatives. He later left the government side to go into opposition with the Liberal group led by Sir Herbert Samuel but his position in Wrexham depended on Tory support and his local party tried to steer him in the direction of the Liberal Nationals. Although he had no Tory opponent at the 1935 general election the Chairman of the local Conservative Association apparently urged his supporters to abstain rather than vote for Roberts, who stood as a Liberal rather than Liberal National and the seat went Labour by a majority of over 5,000 votes. He was elected to Liverpool City Council in 1936 and served until the time of his death. He was also a member of the Merseyside and North Wales Electricity Board, Chairman of the Licensing Committee and a justice of the peace.

Liberal National and Conservative
Although he had failed to join the Liberal Nationals when it might have helped him hold his Wrexham seat before 1935, he did join later and in 1943 tried to secure the nomination to be the Liberal National candidate for the by-election at Eddisbury in 1943. In 1945, while he was still deputy leader of the Liberal group on Liverpool City Council he joined the Conservatives. He was selected to stand as Tory candidate for Liverpool, Kirkdale at the 1945 general election but lost to Labour.

Welsh heritage
Although he was born in Liverpool, Roberts always regarded himself as Welsh, as his army and political connections demonstrated. He managed Fire, Pensions and other insurance for the Presbyterian Church of Wales, was a keen supporter of the Eisteddfod and a member of the Council of the Liverpool Welsh National Society.

Shock of Daylight is an EP by English post-punk band the Sound, released in April 1984 on Statik Records in the UK and A&M Records in the US.

The EP was seen by critics as a comeback for the band, after the band's critically and commercially disappointing previous album, 1982's All Fall Down. Two singles were released from the EP, "Counting the Days" and "Golden Soldiers" (the latter in Spain only).

Background and content
Shock of Daylight was recorded in Studio 3 of Townhouse Studios, except for "Winter", which was recorded at Elephant Studio in London and a studio only referred to as "Crow".

Sounds described the album's style as "If All Fall Down chipped away at the gothic walls of From the Lions Mouth, Shock of Daylight nails down the carpet, but nervously pulls open the curtains".

Release
Shock of Daylight was released in April 1984 by record label Statik in the UK and A & M Records in the US.

"Counting the Days" was released as a single in the UK. "Golden Soldiers" was released as a single in the same year in Spain only.

Reception

Shock of Daylight has been well received by critics. The Big Takeover described it as "a triumphant comeback for [the Sound], a nice return from the interesting but obviously non-commercial All Fall Down, an LP whose lack of salibility effectively got 'em booted from Korova/Warners, and this first release on Static [sic] is a reminder of why they're such a great band". Melody Maker described the EP as "probably the most fearlessly outgoing music the Sound have produced since Jeopardy".

Julius or Iulius Podlipny (most common renditions of the ; ; Hungarian: Podlipny Gyula; Romanian: Iuliu Podlipny; April 12, 1898 – January 15, 1991) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Czechoslovak and Romanian artist, best known for his work in drawing and his long period as teacher at the Art Lyceum in Timișoara. First acknowledged as a promoter of modern art during the interwar period, Podlipny was a contributor to the avant-garde and socialist magazine Ma, edited by Hungarian critic and promoter Lajos Kassák.

Having adopted a style which echoed Expressionism, he influenced Romanian art mainly as a pedagogue: among the critically acclaimed contemporary painters to have been inspired by his views is Ștefan Câlția. Podlipny's widow, Annemarie Podlipny-Hehn, is an art and literary critic. Part of her research is dedicated to her husband's artistic contributions.

Biography
Of Slovak origin, but also honoured in the context of Czech culture, Podlipny was born in Pressburg, Austria-Hungary (today Bratislava, Slovakia). His childhood was marked by two train accidents: the first, at age six, during which he lost his right arm; the second, occurring three years later, killed his father. With his mother Renata and his eight siblings, he wandered through Central Europe, moving between Pressburg and Budapest.

Like many in the avant-garde environment, Podlipny began flirting with socialism, and played some part in the European revolutions of the 1910s. As historian Victor Neumann writes, "his political orientation had been left-wing, and it sometimes slid into the far left". Art critic Pavel Șușară completes the image: young Podlipny was "moved by the suffering of others, fascinated by risk and hunted by police".

During the early 1920s, Podlipny studied at the Hungarian Art Academy, which saw him joining the Central European modern art movement. He made his first visits to the Romanian Kingdom, having earned scholarships to attend the Baia Mare School. In 1926, he made Timișoara his permanent residence.

In Timișoara, where he taught draftsmanship, Podlipny led the Free School of Painting before joining the teaching staff at the Decorative Art School (later restructured as the Art Lyceum). During the following period, he was associated with Hungarian-language avant-garde magazine Ma, published in Vienna by the socialist artist Kassák. Literary critics Cornel Ungureanu and Paul Cernat note that the links created between Ma and the Bucharest-based magazine Contimporanul, centered on the friendship between their two editors, Kassák and Ion Vinea, may also have involved a loose group of supporters from Timișoara. Alongside Podlipny, they were ethnic Romanian politico Aurel Buteanu and German poet and anarchist activist Robert Reiter, together with the Hungarian writers Rodion Markovits and Károly Endre.

At the time, Podlipny's art was a sample of Romanian Expressionism, focusing especially on depicting images of suffering, marginality and despair, including portraits of physically disabled people, or landscapes seemingly painted in absolute solitude. Writing in 1931, critic G. Stoienescu sampled two of Podlipny's characteristic subjects: a group of "crippled pilgrims", "obsessed by a vision", huddled in front of their "tin Christ"; and "a traveller and his gentle beasts of burden", going about their business inside "an unreal world."

During World War II, while still residing in Romania, Podlipny elected to become a national of the Slovak Republic. He represented that short-lived state at a 1942 propaganda exhibit, attended by officials of the Ion Antonescu regime, where he exhibited charcoal drawings landscapes and rural scenes. He was still in Timișoara when Romania left the Axis Powers and Slovakia disappeared. A visitor of his 1946 exhibit noted: "With his only arm, the left one, Iuliu Podlipny has produced haunting graphics, where shadows fraternise with the light, and destiny with man and with God."

After the establishment of the Romanian communist regime, and especially in the 1960s and '70s, Julius Podlipny focused on his work as an educator, helping to create a distinct and critically acclaimed artistic trend among Banat youth, and creating a bridge between early modern art and postwar tendencies. In the 1950s, he married Annemarie Hehn. The daughter of middle-class Swabian parents, she had been a displaced person during the final stage of the war, before being employed as an art historian for the Banat Museum. An amateur artist herself, she met her future husband through her two sisters, who took drawing lessons from Podlipny. In 2008, she recalled: "following my marriage and through my work at the Banat Museum art section, I 'submerged' myself in the field of fine arts, and thus I could more easily bear the communist dictatorship." One of her two sisters, Ilse Hehn-Guzun, also became a noted artist.

Podlipny contributed significantly to the artistic development of his students. According to Neumann, "[h]e was [...] a person with formative knowledge, some of the best-received Romanian artists being indebted to his school." The latter category, Neumann indicates, was primarily illustrated by Ștefan Câlția. Podlipny was also the teacher of Roman Cotoșman, Paul Neagu, Dietrich Sayler, Traian Brădean and Constantin Flondor.

Several texts by Annemarie Podlipny-Hehn, including a monograph, deal with her husband's work and its context. Discussing these writings, Cornel Ungureanu writes: "To understand the Austro-Hungarian empire with its left-wing movements, to understand the crepuscular art of Central Europe, Mrs. Podlipny shows, is impossible unless we carefully follow the evolution of esteemed Timoșoarans, among whom the most important one in her studies is still Julius Podlipny." In 1998, Podlipny was posthumously granted the title of honorary citizen of Timișoara. A street in the city was renamed in his honour.

Style and influence
Podlipny's style was developed under the influence of Central European currents. Writer Livius Ciocârlie, who was active on Timișoara's cultural scene at the same time as Cotoșman and was an acquaintance of Podlipny's, describes the latter as "an interesting Expressionist". According to Șușară, Podlipny remains one of Romania's "most fascinating", a "typical" character of Mitteleuropa, with "baroque dichotomies" and "Expressionistic paroxysm". Adrian Maniu, the Expressionist poet and art chronicler, included Podlipny to the great painters under "accursed spells", as one who moved freely between "genius and insanity".

Podlipny's approach to art and his views on life had a sizable impact on his pupils' careers. In particular, Neumann writes, the artist made himself known for imposing discipline, and for familiarising young artists with mixed media techniques. Ștefan Câlția credits Podlipny and Corneliu Baba with having instilled in him a "respect for school" that replaced his initial "rather nonconformist" approach to art training. He also recalled Podlipny telling his students that "the most important thing we have been given is the total freedom of expression." Constantin Flondor, who was Podlipny's student between 1950 and 1954, remembers being influenced by his "simple, clear and unshakable" pronouncements on artistic matters, such as: "Art requires an abandonment, a self-sacrifice. Taking your place in front of a sheet or a canvass which promises the meeting between a piece of vine charcoal or a brush and the white surface is a moment charged with the thrills of genesis. Nothing and no one has the right to disturb one who is in the sacred moment of labour." Livius Ciocârlie also notes that, although Podlipny "spoke a very corrupted form of Romanian [...], any phrase he had uttered became memorable."

Ciocârlie, who describes Podlipny as "one-armed, nervous, intransigent, sarcastic", recounts the artist's contempt for painting as opposed to drawing and graphics: "to him, colorists were a finical bunch lacking in energy, incapable of tracing a single line." According to Șușară, Podlipny and Baba had a common trait, in that they saw drawing as "fundamental". Podlipny had a rather tense relationship with Cotoșman, who, in 1966, created the nucleus for an underground avant-garde platform, Grupul Sigma. Neumann notes that this might not have been a singular situation, and that Podlipny may have likely been seen as "too demanding" by several other of his pupils.

Pedro de Candia (Pietro de Cândia) (; Crete, Kingdom of Candia 1485–1542 Chupas, Viceroyalty of Peru) was a Greek explorer and cartographer at the service of the Kingdom of Spain, an officer of the Royal Spanish Navy that under the Spanish Crown became a Conquistador, Grandee of Spain, Commander of the Royal Spanish Fleet of the Southern Sea, Colonial Ordinance of Cusco, and then Mayor of Lima between 1534 and 1535. Specialized in the use of firearms and artillery, he was one of the earliers explorers of Panama and the Pacific coastline of Colombia, and finally participated in the conquest of Peru.  He was killed in the Battle of Chupas, (Peru), on 16 September 1542, by Diego de Almagro II.

Early life
He was born on the island of Crete, which then was part of the Republic of Venice, known as the Kingdom of Candia, in the city of Heraklion (then called Candia, hence his appellation). He left the island through one of his mother's relatives at the service of the Crown of Aragon, who took him to the Kingdoms of Italy. During his period in Italy he was training to become a Condottieri and trained in the arms; he fought against the Turks and in the Italian campaigns including the Battle of Pavia, before transferring to the Iberian peninsula to serve the Spanish Catholic Queen and King. Pedro was eventually married in Spain at Villalpando.

Conquest of Peru
During his first incursion, he went to America with Governor Pedro de los Ríos in 1526 to explore Panama and the Colombian coastline.

Then sent by the Spanish Crown assigned on a special edict to engage with local natives, he accompanied Diego de Almagro and Francisco Pizarro during their first explorations along the coasts of Peru, and at the landing of Tacamez, north of Guayaquil, by then he had already the command of the artillery. He was one of the "Famous Thirteen", who survived and remained in the islands of Gallo and Gorgona with Pizarro. From there, subsequently launched the explorations of the Peruvian coastline and Inca ports, then as part of the special assignment, he undertook to go in person to the Inca towns to engage with the locals and investigate their living conditions.  He then visited Tumbez and then accompanied Pizarro to Spain to inform Charles V of their discoveries, the emperor made Candia commander-in-chief of artillery of the fleet sent out to conquer Peru.

He was present at the defeat and imprisonment of the Inca king Atahualpa, and received a large share of the ransom paid by him. While residing at Cuzco, he made arms and ammunition for Pizarro, who was then fighting against Almagro.

After the defeat of Almagro at Battle of Las Salinas, Candia undertook the conquest of Ambaya beyond the Andes, but was unsuccessful, being finally arrested by order of Hernando Pizarro. Disgusted at his treatment, and deserted by his old friends, he then joined the followers of Almagro and, with the aid of sixteen other Greeks, brought the guns that were taken by young Almagro to the battle of Chupas, where Candia supported the local natives by performing badly in the battle. Almagro suspected treason and ordered his troops to kill Candia after attacking him with his own hands.

Legacy
Based on his special assignment to engage with local natives by the Spanish Crown edict, Candia took special attention to communicating with the Incas and other vassal natives, that helped him to record his greatest discovery of the Golden Temple of the Sun built by Huayna Capac. Subsequently, Pedro de Candia's visits, discovery, and legacy were recorded by the Inca Garcilaso in the GVAINA CAPAC INGA, and by the Spaniard Pedro Cieza de León in his records of "Cronicas de Americas"; and later rendered in an images codex book by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala. His oldest brother Teodoro de Candia, became a priest and led Catholic Missions for the Spanish Crown in the Amazonian region of today's Misiones Province, his brother Juan Andres de Candia led a colonial development in Cusco, while Pedro's younger brother, Juan Martín de Candia was assigned by the Spanish Crown to explore the Southern region of the continent alongside Pedro de Valdivia the founder of Santiago, and settled in Chile.

Lots More Blues, Rags and Hollers is an album by the blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover, released in 1964.

History
Between this release and their next, Dave Ray and John Koerner each recorded a solo album, Snaker's Here and Spider Blues, respectively. The trio also appeared at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, where their performance was recorded for the Vanguard Records album Newport Folk Festival 1964: Evening Concerts Vol. 3. The songs performed by the trio included "Blackjack Davy" and "What's the Matter with the Mill".

Reception

In his review of the 1999 reissue of their second album, No Depression critic Joel Roberts stated Koerner, Ray and Glover "emerged as one of the best and most popular groups on the burgeoning ’60s blues-folk revival scene" and said their original tunes "stand up next to the classics."

Loos is a locality on the Canadian National Railway west of McBride, British Columbia, immediately next to Crescent Spur and the confluence of the Morkill River with the Fraser River.  Loos Post Office opened 30 March 1916, named in recognition of the Battle of Loos of World War I.  The first postmaster was Mrs. A Martin.  The post office closed 11 July 1951, after most of the residents had moved to Crescent Spur.  The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway station here was renamed from "Crescent Island" to Loos later in 1916.  The community experienced flooding in 1936.

Via Rail's Jasper – Prince Rupert train calls at the Loos railway station.

The original settlers were Ole Olson Leboe, originally of Vagland, Norway, and his wife Anna Maria.  Around 1917 their sons built the Leboe Lumber Company sawmill here on the banks of the Fraser River.  It was destroyed by fire, and rebuilt several times.

Wharton Journal-Spectator is a semi-daily newspaper published on Wednesday and Saturday based in Wharton, Texas. It is owned by Wharton County Newspapers, Inc. The newspaper offers subscriptions to a digital edition in PDF format.

History
The history of the Wharton Journal-Spectator dates to A. Foote and his brother, Dr. Stephen A. Foote, early relatives of Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Horton Foote.

They began publishing the Wharton Spectator on Nov. 2, 1889, beginning one branch of the modern-day Journal-Spectator family tree. The Shannon family — brothers F.W., Hal and Emmett — bought it in 1910.

In March 1935, Harvey and Hildred Evans launched a rival, the Wharton Journal, which was bought in 1958 by Marlow Preston. The competition ended when the Shannons sold Preston the Spectator in 1967.

The Spectator published Sundays, the Journal Wednesdays. It first published twice a week under the same name, Wharton Journal-Spectator, on Sunday, May 12, 1974.

In 1977, Preston sold the Journal-Spectator to River Publishers, Inc., owned by Fred Barbee of El Campo and his partner A. Richard Elam. Barbee served as publisher of the newspaper until his death in October 2007, at which time son Chris was named publisher.

A brand-new newspaper for a brand-new city was the impetus for starting the East Bernard Express in August 2003. When the Wharton County community decided to call an incorporation election, the staff of the Wharton Journal-Spectator decided to launch a new newspaper under the guidance of Editor and General Manager Larry Jackson.

Approximately a year later, River Publishers bought the East Bernard Tribune and merged the newspapers into one weekly publication.

Bill Wallace was named editor and publisher of the Wharton Journal-Spectator when it was sold in May 2009, along with the East Bernard Express to Wharton County Newspapers, Inc.

Several family members and employees of Rosenberg-based Hartman Newspapers, L.P. publish a group of 11 small daily and semiweekly newspapers in Texas, including Rosenberg, Rockport, Port Lavaca, Katy and Alvin.

On 30 April 1994, in the second leg of the championship final against Santos Laguna, with Tecos needing a goal to win the title; Donizete made an individual effort past Santos defence, scoring the second and decisive title. For his influence, he won that season award for best player in the league, the Balon de Oro.

In 1995. he returned to Botafogo, and partnered with Túlio Maravilha in the conquest of second league title for the club. He described the partnership as the best he ever had, "I returned to Brazil in 1995 and had the opportunity to take part in the conquest of the only league title of the Brazilian club. Me and Túlio, who was in an impressive form, scored in every way imaginable, he was the best partner I had"

For the following two seasons, Donizete Pantera moved abroad, playing first at Verdy Kawasaki in the J1 League in 1996 and then moving to Portugal, playing for Benfica. He debuted on 18 August 1996, in the first leg of 1996 Supertaça against Porto, scoring his first goal on 7 September, a double against Gil Vicente. He partnered with João Pinto in the six month he spent at Estádio da Luz, scoring 9 goals in 22 appearances, leaving in late January 1997 for Corinthians.

In Corinthians, he reunited with Túlio Maravilha, winning his first Campeonato Paulista, now beating São Paulo. In the late part of 1997, Donizete Pantera moved to Vasco da Gama, being loaned out to Cruzeiro to play a single game, the 1997 Intercontinental Cup, lost to Borussia Dortmund by 2–0. At Vasco da Gama, he played with Luizão, in the conquest of the 1998 Copa Libertadores. Eliminating Cruzeiro, Grêmio and River Plate in the knock-out stages, Donizete Pantera started and scored in both legs of the 1998 Copa Libertadores Finals, as Vasco defeated Barcelona by 4–1 on aggregate.

He stayed at Vasco da Gama until 2000, losing the 1998 Intercontinental Cup for Real Madrid, and with the arrival of Romário and Edmundo, also losing his place in the line-up. In 2000, the 32-year-old, moved to Tigres for a brief spell in Mexico, returning to Botafogo immediately after. In the final years of his career, he passed through Palmeiras, returned to Tecos twice and to Vasco da Gama once, finally retiring in 2006. In post-football, he works at a foundation created to promote young talents, Fundação Pantera Negra, plus spent time studying to become a football manager.

International career
He made his debut for the Brazil national team in friendly on 8 November 1995 against Argentina, in Buenos Aires, scoring the winning goal in a 1–0 victory for Brazil. It would take nearly 15 years until Brazil won a game in Argentina again. He scored a second goal on 28 August 1996, against Russia, in a 1–1 draw, making his final appearance for his national team on 15 February 1998, against Jamaica at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He admitted that the biggest disappointment in his life was not taking part in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, as he described. "I was in most of Zagallo's call ups that season. I was playing well, my performance at Vasco was helping a lot and I was really convinced I would play a World Cup. But then, right close to the announcement of the official squad, Bebeto won my place, and he was not a regular call up; Then Romário got cut out due to injury. I thought they would remember me. Hell, they chose to take Emerson instead, and he was a defensive midfielder. Then I can say that not taking part in the 98 World Cup was the biggest disappointment of my life."

Dome Creek, between Penny and Crescent Spur on the southwest side of the Fraser River in central British Columbia, provides a year-round destination for hiking, hunting, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. The scattered community of about 40 permanent residents clusters the railway line and the actual creek (crossed by its own road and rail bridges). The creek and town are similarly named after Dome Mountain. The recreational facility, which occupies the former school building, houses the community hall, a public library and a museum, with a small rustic post office nearby. The visitor centre (former library) stands at the front of the lot occupied by the former community hall. (Content specific to Bend or Kidd is contained in those articles.)

Transportation
A trackside signpost marks the flag stop for Via Rail's Jasper – Prince Rupert train. The immediate Via Rail stops are Bend to the northwest and Loos to the southeast.

When Greyhound cancelled this route in 2018, this scheduled bus stop closed. BC Bus North, the replacement operator, runs non-stop between Prince George and McBride.

History

Railway
The creek mouth was  from Fort George via the Fraser. Dome Creek has historically described both a specific place and the general area several miles on either side, such as Mile 141, or Mile 142. With river access to bring in labour and supplies, the vicinity may have comprised 2,000 workers housed in construction camps stretching from Mile 141 to 146. Foley, Welch and Stewart (FW&S) was the prime contractor for the Mountain Section. However, owing to unprecedented low water limiting navigation, FW&S's larger boats remained berthed from early winter, 1911, to spring, 1913. Cement supplies for the bridge were stranded at the Goat River Rapids, awaiting sleigh transportation once winter arrived. The concrete for the bridge's east abutment was poured before the end of 1912.
During spring 1913, the west abutment was completed. When the river thawed, the FW&S boats were launched to bring supplies from the railhead base at Tête Jaune.

The low-level Dome Creek and Hansard railway bridges curtailed the previous steamboat navigation.  The railway started construction, despite not having received approval from Ottawa's Board of Railway Commissioners with respect to their height clearances, which triggered a response by the Barnard steamboat organization. The Dome Creek bridge crosses the Fraser at Mile 56.7, Fraser Subdivision (formerly about Mile 146, though contemporary articles inadvertently quoted instead the camp locations at Mile 145, or Mile 142). A temporary wooden trestle carried the track until the steel bridge's completion.

The Bates & Rogers Construction Co. were the contractors for the bridge substructure (piers and abutments) and the Canadian Bridge Co. for the superstructure (steelwork). By August, the steel bridge girders were being installed, and the railway tracks had been laid from Mile 53 (Tête Jaune) to Mile 138, and then Mile 142. The Railway Commission having handed over control to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP) to operate this section, their first passenger arrived at Mile 141 that month. Their directive for a drawbridge reversed, the Railway Commission sanctioned the low-level bridge, which by October was nearing completion.

During construction, small seven-ton locomotives operated on the temporary narrow gauge (24-inch) track laid in advance of the permanent track. A surviving example exists in the Prince George Railway & Forestry Museum. When one such locomotive sank into the muskeg nearby, a second one also sank while trying to extract it. At least one of these is believed to be preserved in the bog. The location included a water tower and wye. An alighting passenger, and the laying of a 10-foot wide cinder sidewalk for passengers that winter, suggest a 1921 opening date for the station nestled between Bend to its northwest, and Kidd to its southeast.

Pumpman John (Jack) E. (1876–1941) & Lottie Brennan, who arrived in 1915, were part of the community's social circle. Retiring in 1940 after 25 years as pumpman, he died before receiving his first superannuation cheque. A guard, who was presumably armed, defended the crossing during World War II. Speeders or railway cars provided the only transport for medical emergencies, but often it came too late. Trains sometimes struck straying livestock.

When the Prince George-McBride way freights, coming from opposite directions, passed at Dome Creek during the 1950s, there was a sufficient break for passengers to change trains. In 1985, a derailment occurred at Mile 55. The station building, which was opened, closed and cleaned daily until the early 1990s, went in 1996. In 2000, the section crew relocated. The present flag stop location appears established.

 Assumedly, a remeasurement confirmed the station was closer to Mile 55.6

Pioneer Community
Dome Creek, an ideal location for timber, tourists and hunting, developed possibly as more than one settlement, that ultimately consolidated westward at its present location. Over time, both the industrial and railway infrastructure moved in that direction. James O. Kendall, manager of Upper Fraser Lumber Co. , was the inaugural postmaster 1916–19.

John (Jack) W. Carneski (1893–1975), who remained single, operated his mixed farm until death immediately east of Dome Creek on the north half of Lot 3275. Claiming a 1911 arrival, the first record of his presence was 1924. Among the few remaining pioneers in the vicinity, he outlived James B. Hooker (1884–1955) of Bend and Ernest H. Jensen (1890–1966) of Kidd.

By 1920, Mr. Bremner ran a store. Rancher James (Jimmy) Stewart (1883–1960) opened a billiard parlour, barber shop, restaurant, and later, a store. He was postmaster 1920–25, a role commonly performed by a storeowner in such towns.  Andrew Stewart (1898–1941), his brother, who assisted in the store, was postmaster 1925–26. James moved and opened a store in Snowshoe. Farmer William Reade (probably c.1876–1944) ran a general store, and was postmaster 1927–31.

Arriving in 1917, T. Francis (Frank) (1881–1951) and Chris (1892–1979) Gleason were pioneers to the area, who had left America to escape the World War I draft. The brothers were prospectors, trappers, and supply agents for fox breeding. During the 1932/33 winter, Chris shot a big timber wolf prowling near the school, one of numerous sightings around the community. Purchased from Stewart in 1927,  their general store existed longest. They were fined for exceeding the controlled prices during World War II. After Frank died, Chris operated the store until its sale in 1957. Frank was postmaster 1937–51.

Margaret (?–1953) & Henry (1884–1978) Miller, known for his teams of horses, settled in Dome Creek in the 1910s. In 1919, while Henry was picking blackberries, his uncle rescued him from a vicious bear mauling. A year later, at his trial for burning O.B.U. mail, he was acquitted. In 1922, the family relocated to west of McBride, where they ran a dairy farm. On selling this property to Nance Lumber , he returned to Dome Creek as a logging contractor. He remained a resident until death. Their son James (1914–75) was postmaster 1951–?.

The school opened in 1918, with Malcolm Humphrey Rae as the inaugural teacher. In the early years, some community dances (often farewell functions) were held in the schoolhouse. After the railway construction phase, the population dwindled to 150 (which included 18 farmers) by 1921, and to 100 by 1927, revised to 125 by 1929.

Henry (usually stated as Harry) (1883–1973) & Martha Alice (1886–1965) Robinson homesteaded around 1920. Their children were Nora (c.1910–?), Sheila (c.1911–1995), Montgomery (Montie) (1912–90), Kathleen (1913–82), William (Bill) (1917–96), Myrtle (c.1919–2014), Eileen (1920–92), Patricia (Pat) Ann, Mary M., Lyona (1925–2012), and Iona (1925–82).

In 1931, Sheila married Darrow Casey (1908–84), and they settled in Trail, where Myrtle, Mary, Montie, and Pat would follow. While working in Vancouver, Kathleen met and married Reginald George Clements (1900–83). While based in Prince George, Nora married Fred H. Stephens. Eileen married Harry Willard Webb (1912–74). Initially they lived locally, left briefly, returned briefly, and left permanently. Bill enlisted in 1941, married Jean Margaret Marsden (1916–2015) in England, but the couple settled in Vancouver after his 1945 discharge. Iona enlisted in 1943. Lyona married Floyd Berndt (1922–85) of Giscome, where they lived. Mary, in Trail, married Jack Minton (1913–77). Iona was engaged to John H. Hooper (1919–93), returned to Vancouver for business college, but married Charles Robert Ashworth (1925–82) of Trail, where the couple resided. Pat attended UBC. The Robinson Srs. relocated possibly to Trail about this time.

A. Helmer Westerlund (1889–1979) arrived in 1917. Olga (1902–98) arrived in 1924 and they were married three years later. To complement their farming income, Helmer worked in pole camps, and successfully sued contractor Fred Stevens (1867–1956) for non-payment of wages. Visiting school officials, railway employees, and dignitaries boarded at their house. Daughter Ruth (c.1928–55) attended high school in Prince George, where Olga joined her for a period. Ruth moved away, married Donald Watson in 1952, but died of a blood disease. Sibling Ivan E. attended high school in Prince George, and married Beverley Beecroft in 1956.
Acquiring a quarter section, and over time purchasing from his parents and others, their farm increased to six quarters. Relocating to Prince George in 1955, Helmer and Olga ran a boarding house until 1974. In 1979, Ivan's oldest son, Ivan Jr, attended the Jericho Hill School for the Deaf in Vancouver, an institution whose reputation has since been sullied by evidence of rampant sexual abuse. The couple raised four further children at Dome Creek. Three of the children received a quarter, which they farmed on visits from Prince George.

Later Community
The population of about 50 hovered in the 80s during World War II. During the 1940s, residents often attended the Penny dances, By the 1950s, dances for the whole family occurred monthly in the community hall.

On the closure of the Bend school in 1946, those students transferred. The left-hand section of the present building dates from 1954, with the right-hand wing added two years later to accommodate over 40 pupils. A new three-roomed teacherage opened in 1955. From Grade 9, children either took correspondence courses or boarded at the McBride high school dormitory. Later, Dome Creek only went to Grade 7. Peaking at 38 students, numbers were mainly in the 15–18 range from the mid-1960s to 1980. The average enrolment during the 1980s was 14. By the mid-1980s, operating at 38 percent student capacity, and smaller class sizes, significantly increased costs per student. Unlike its counterparts slated for closure, the school was granted special status until 1991. At the request of the parents, the school added Grade 8 from the 1992/93 year. With only six students, the school closed in 2001. The school bus ride to McBride took 90 minutes each way. Assumedly, the additional passenger load temporarily extended the route closer to Dome Creek, rather than the previous terminus at Walker Creek FSR junction,  away.

John E. (1906–87) & Jean (1909–96) Humphreys arrived from Penny in 1957 . John, who ran the store 1957–63, owned one of the most complete collections of Canadian coins in Northern BC. While Jean, a registered nurse, became the medical emergency volunteer, John introduced the weekly movie night in the community hall at this time, both services they had provided at Penny. Son James (Jim) R. (1940–2011) & Dianne Humphreys stayed 1969–83. Their children were Howard, Holly, Hunter, and Hilary. John unsuccessfully ran for RDFFG director for area H (Dome Creek-Dunster). They returned in 1993.

During the 1960s, Audrey & Russell (1920–91) Stannard managed a boarding house at Dome Creek. A Mennonite family owned the Creekside Store for a few years, before Jean & G. Alan Fuller Howe operated the store and post-office from 1967 until the store closure in the early 1970s. Son David & Wendy Howe subsequently managed the post office.

The population was 81 in the late 1980s. The Dome Diner operated a 24-hour restaurant during the early 1990s. Closed and boarded up, it stands on Highway 16 at the Dome Creek Road turnoff. Sue's Kitchen existed in the late 1990s, followed by Ma's and Pa's Kitchen.

The Catholic Church, that opened in 1960, but closed after a decade, is now a residential building. A reunion, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the former school, was held August 6–8, 1993.

Crime, Calamity & Safety Measures
A double drowning occurred near Mile 145 in 1915.

During the spring flood of 1936, when the Fraser reached the underside of the rail bridge, the CNR parked a trainload of rock cars on the bridge as a precaution.

Without a firefighting service, houses burned to the ground. Her husband Alvin (1892–1972) away, Ellen Margaret English (1906–97) was home with her children Douglas (c.1943– ), and Robert (1945– ), and stepchild John E. (Jack) (1932–51), son of former wife Mary Elvena English (1899–1979). The mother and children escaped the blaze unharmed. While logging five years later, a falling tree fatally fractured Jack's skull. His older sibling Clarence (1927–2001) and wife were residents at that time. The Loewen family had a similar winter escape from a house fire.

Locals, Frank Langevin and William Oliver, violently assaulted Stan Hale of Kidd in 1954. Frank’s son Russell (1944–48) died from malnutrition. Another son Patrick Michael (1949–58) died from pneumonia.

In 1961, weather forced a small aircraft returning from a mercy flight to land at Dome Creek. On attempting a take-off, the plane flipped on a snow-filled ditch and sustained extensive damage.

Dana Duane Fowler (1959–67) drowned on a farm.

In the 1967/68 winter, an ice jam in the creek flooded out most of the 60 residents, with only the railway station, the boarding house and a few homes spared. The proprietor temporarily relocated the store to the two-roomed train station. The access road to Highway 16 was submerged. When the Highways Department dynamited the ice, fragments from the explosion crashed through the roof of John Humphrey's house, which was already under four feet of water. The conditions may have been worse than the 1936 spring flood.

In 1997, five people died in a car that lost control on ice and collided with a loaded westbound logging truck on the Highway 16 hill just west of the bridge across Dome Creek.

In 2012, Kohl Anthony Timms, 26, was sentenced to consecutive terms of 14 and 16 months for growing marijuana.

Forestry
The narrow strip of accessible spruce forest bordering the railway that stretched some  east of Prince George was known as the East Line. The Dome Lumber Co., the first sawmill, dammed the creek and floated logs the  down to their mill. In 1912, the Northern Lumber Co. completed building their sawmill, shingle mill and sash-door factory. By 1914, an even larger mill was built by the Upper Fraser Mills Co., with new machinery received the following year.

By 1921, the significant operations were the 30,000-foot capacity Dome Lumber Co. and the 40,000-foot capacity Upper Fraser Lumber Co. (a.k.a. Fraser Timber Syndicate), but the former was subject to winding up orders. That year experienced hot dry weather, with mill workers from the Fraser Timber Syndicate fighting forest fires which threatened the mill. During 1922, neither of the remaining mills operated, possibly unable to secure timber supplies. Using a portable sawmill, James B. Hooker of Bend cut firewood, likely from devastated areas. At the liquidation sale of the Dome Lumber Co. in 1923, both creditors and the government incurred heavy losses, and Bashaw Lumber Co. purchased and moved the assets to east of Dewey (Sinclair Mills) to replace its own mill destroyed by fire the previous September. The Fraser Timber syndicate intended to start milling in spring and the Imperial Lumber Co. planned to build a new mill.

Assistant forest ranger was a seasonal position from spring to fall. By the late 1940s, Standard Forest Products had acquired sawmills at Tête Jaune, Eddy, Dome Creek and Penny. Throughout the 1950s, Lamming Bros. had logging and milling operations in the area.

In the late 1950s, a school bus ran from the Nance Lumber Co.'s  new mill. Around  to the west, the operation comprised bunkhouses and a cookhouse. The company had operated in McBride since the early 1950s. Based in Red Deer, Alberta, it possessed holdings in McBride and Dome Creek at the time owner William Theodore Nance (c.1908–65) died. Herbert Fichtner (1927–96) owned the small Red Rock Lumber, located within the settlement, during the 1950s–1960s. After purchasing the two mills in the mid-1960s, Northwood soon closed them.

Roads
A road likely linked the water tower and the community to its west. The government road that existed from the early 1920s did not connect with any roads beyond the Dome Creek area. Since the promised route southeast to McBride would long await a government survey, willing residents were unable to voluntarily construct such a link. The wheat and oat farmers would have benefited from a threshing machine, but it was too large to transport by rail.
Within the  gap stretching to  northwest of McBride,  of disconnected roads existed by the late 1930s. No progress occurred either during or immediately following World War II. A federal politician promised a highway by 1958 linking Prince George, McBride and the Alberta border, which like the CNR bridge would cross the Fraser in the vicinity. Maps dated 1931, 1949, and 1956, show a proposed route wholly east of the Fraser bypassing Dome Creek. Instead, the provincial government surveyed a route wholly west of the river for the Fraser-Fort George section of Highway 16, as shown in a 1958 road map, but had constructed only  by 1959.

In 1960, when only 15 vehicles and  of road (of varying quality) existed around Dome Creek, the requirement for vehicles to be licensed and insured was briefly enforced, then relaxed. Vehicles continued to use tax-free dyed fuel. By the 1962/63 winter, work on a highway southeast to McBride included a right-of-way cleared and grubbed to Twin Creek via Crescent Spur. The following November, the McBride and District Chamber of Commerce approached the Highways Department to reinstate the crossing at Mile 50 and put in a winter road to Dome Creek.

With further road-building equipment and supplies brought in by rail, Standard General Construction worked northwest from Dome Creek, and Ginter Construction southeast, in building Highway 16. The 1964 summer was so wet, Ginter was unable to make headway in grading and gravelling the  stretch between Dome Creek and Crescent Spur. A 1967 fire at the Standard General construction camp caused $200,000 of damage. At the time, the community was only accessible by river or rail. By January 1968, the gravel road linking Prince George and McBride was drivable, except during the muddy spring breakup, when sections were impassable. Popular throughout that summer, it was not open to passenger bus operators because the three Bailey bridges were deemed subpar. Between the Willow River and Dome Creek, work was starting on the Willow and Bowron River bridges, and  were paved and  remained as gravel. To the southeast, the West Twin and McBride bridges were nearing completion. The  Dome Creek-Crescent Spur section would be paved in 1969. Although the unfinished Prince George-McBride sections were expected to be paved that year, work was not completed on the final  until the last of the new bridges opened in mid-1970.

In 1993, the Old Dome Creek access became Bristow Road, and Robertson Road became Robinson Road.

Electricity, Broadcast Transmissions & Communications Devices
In 1913, a telegraph operator was stationed at the water tower. The separate position appears from 1928, but it is unclear whether the early telegraph office, which preceded the station, possessed automatic printing apparatus, or the pumpman performed double duty.

By 1930, radio listeners enjoyed clear reception. For enthusiasts wishing to receive messages from ships at sea or isolated ports, Prof. W. Reade  was offering courses in telegraphy.

From 1929, the CNR telephone lines opened for public usage, linking Dome Creek with Prince George, but were not connected with the outside telephone network until 1931. McBride had to wait until 1955, when North-West Telephone Company leased a special circuit from the CNR which connected with Dome Creek. By 1967, only one active telephone remained in Dome Creek, which was in the general store, after the Red Rock Lumber one was disconnected on closedown. Most locals had used the office phone at the mill for making calls. In 1992, the referendum for a telephone service, financed by an additional $175 in property tax each year, was approved. The following year, the RDFFG installed the system.

In 1984, the referendum for an electricity supply, at a cost of $214,100 for the community after government subsidies, amortized to property taxes over 20 years, was approved. The next year, BC Hydro constructed an electrical distribution line to the community. Since road frontage determined the individual property tax burden, the recovery methodology penalized non-subdividable farms, some of which with their own generators have not connected to the system. Equally, the up front $10,000 grant for each hookup encouraged unnecessary connections that customers had no intention of maintaining.

Completed in 2014, the Telus cell tower near Dome Creek also serves over  of Highway 16 between west of Penny and Dome Mountain.
