Steve Bernard (August 25, 1947 – March 7, 2009) was an American adventurer and businessman who founded Cape Cod Potato Chips with his brother Jude.

Biography
Born on August 25, 1947, in Concord, New Hampshire, Bernard attended the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a degree in economics. A restless adventurer, he spent the decade following his graduation crossing the country by hitchhiking, in Alaska fighting forest fires and sailing to the Caribbean, working with chickens and catching tuna, as well as installing car sun roofs.

Cape Cod Potato Chips

With the idea of offering healthier foods made with little processing, his wife, Lynn, had started a natural foods store in the 1970s. Bernard pursued adding potato chips to the mix after tasting a natural potato chip from a successful company based in Hawaii. In 1980, he sold his auto parts business and established Cape Cod Potato Chips with an  storefront in Hyannis, Massachusetts, that could reach tourists, an industrial potato slicer he had bought for $3,000 and almost no knowledge of the snack food business other than what he learned in a week-long course on potato chip making at Martin's Potato Chips in Thomasville, Pennsylvania.

Unlike typical commercial brands made using a continuous frying process, in which potato slices travel through a tub of oil on a conveyor belt, Cape Cod chips are cooked in batches in kettles, frying them in a shallow vat in oil while stirring with a rake, producing a crunchier chip. Snack Food Association president James A. McCarthy noted that Bernard "didn't invent the kettle chip, but he was involved in bringing it back to prominence."

The company struggled for months after it opened on July 4, 1980. The following winter a car crashed through the front window of the store, almost hitting his daughter. An insurance payment and publicity from the accident helped tide the company over until the following summer, by which time business was booming, and the company's chips were being sold through a number of supermarket chains.

The company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch in 1985, and operated as a division of its Eagle Snacks unit. Sales of the chips were up to 80,000 bags a day by the end of the following year, reaching the entire East Coast, with sales of $16 million annually. Bernard bought the company and its factory back from Anheuser-Busch in 1996. Snack food company Lance Inc. bought the company from Bernard in 1996, by which time annual sales had reached $30 million.

Personal
Bernard started a sandwich shop, which made croutons from leftover bread. This led to the creation of Chatham Village Foods, which manufactured croutons, a company he later sold to the T. Marzetti Company. Lured out of "retirement" by daughter, Nicole, they together co-founded Late July Organic Snacks, a company that produces organic cookies and crackers, in 2001.

A resident of Marstons Mills, Massachusetts, and Sanibel, Florida, Bernard died at age 61 on March 7, 2009, in Hyannis, Massachusetts due to pancreatic cancer. He was survived by his wife, daughter and two grandchildren, as well as three brothers and a sister.

Lynn Nadel (born November 12, 1942) is an American psychologist who is the Regents' Professor of psychology at the University of Arizona. Nadel specializes in memory, and has investigated the role of the hippocampus in memory formation. Together with John O'Keefe, he coauthored the influential 1978 book The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map, which defended the theory that the hippocampus learns and stores cognitive maps of portions of space. With Morris Moscovitch, he advanced the multiple trace theory that the hippocampus is always involved in storage and retrieval of episodic memory, but that semantic memory can be established in the neocortex.

Nadel received a Ph.D. from McGill University in 1967, and joined the faculty of the University of Arizona in 1985, where he is now an Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science. Nadel, together with John O'Keefe, received the 2006 Grawemeyer Award for their work in identifying the brain's mapping system. He was named recipient of a 2019 William James Fellow Award from the Association for Psychological Science for his contributions to cognitive psychology. In 2020 he was the recipient of the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences.
From 2007 to 2016, Nadel was the founding editor-in-chief of the scientific journal, Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive Science.

Mary Whelan Warburg (née Prue; December 6, 1908 – March 8, 2009) was a philanthropist, member (by marriage) of the Warburg banking family, and younger sister to Edwina d'Erlanger, wife of Baron Leo Frédéric Alfred d'Erlanger (son of Rodolphe d'Erlanger).

Biography
Born in Colorado City, Texas, and raised on her father's sheep ranch near Hope, New Mexico, in the last days of the New Mexico Territory and the early days of statehood, Mary Whelan Prue reportedly fired a shotgun at Pancho Villa as he raided the ranch, but missed him. She was 7 years old. She left school in her early teens and with her elder sister, Edwina, settled in New York City, where they worked as fashion models. Mary was later an assistant fashion editor at Vogue. During World War II, Mary Warburg worked with the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and attended the founding conference of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945.

Philanthropy
Mary Warburg supported many charitable organizations, including the Henry Street Settlement, the United Negro College Fund, the Institute of International Education; the Association for Homemaker Service (a social welfare agency) and the Hole in the Wall Gang Camps, a network of camps for seriously ill children founded by Paul Newman. She was also long active in Democratic Party circles.

Personal life
She married twice. An early marriage, to Boston artist Richard Currier, ended in divorce in 1936; they had one son, Stephen Currier, the founder of the Council for United Civil Rights Leadership. In 1967, Stephen disappeared with his wife, Audrey Bruce Currier (the daughter of Ailsa Mellon Bruce and David K. E. Bruce) aboard a private plane flying over the Caribbean Sea; their three children survived them. In 1939, she married Edward Mortimer Morris Warburg (the son of banker Felix Warburg and his wife Frieda Schiff, daughter of banker Jacob Henry Schiff). Warburg was a founder of the Jewish Museum; the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA); and the American Ballet, the precursor of the New York City Ballet. They had two children, Daphne and David. Her second husband died in 1992. Her elder sister, with whom she had decamped to New York so many years earlier, Edwina (the widow of Baron Leo d'Erlanger), died in 1994.

Mary Warburg died on March 8, 2009, at age 100 in Norwalk, Connecticut. She was survived by her two children with Warburg: Daphne Warburg (married to Michael Ramon Langhorne Astor, son of Sir John Jacob Astor VII), and David Warburg (married to and divorced from C. Susan MacDonald, later married to journalist Richard Z. Chesnoff). Andrea and Lavinia Currier, director of Passion in the Desert are her granddaughters from her first marriage.

Laurelwood Academy is a private secondary school affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church near Jasper, Oregon, United States. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system. Founded in 1904 in Laurelwood, Oregon, the boarding school moved to a new  campus in rural Lane County outside of Eugene in 2007. The school has grades 9 through 12 and focuses on agriculture in addition to academics.

History

In 1877, the Seventh-day Adventist Church established a Conference in Oregon, and in 1904 established the Laurelwood Academy at Laurelwood near Gaston. The school was built on the former Donation Land Claim of R. D. Walker with the first building on campus a one-story dining hall. When it opened it had grades one through ten under the direction of principal Robert Arye and an enrollment of 16 students – four girls and 12 boys. The first graduate of the academy was Henry Dirkson in 1906.

Initially built on , the academy purchased more land from Walker in later years. The institution was expanded with the addition of a chapel in 1908 that was subsequently renovated and expanded in 1919. Principal Arye left the school in 1907 and J. L. Kay became the principal, expanding the curriculum to twelve grades. The academy added a building for teaching manual labor in 1925 followed by a new administration structure in 1943. In 1950, the unaffiliated but adjacent Laurelwood Adventist Elementary School opened. Adventist owned Harris Pine Mills had a furniture making plant across the street that provided some employment to students after it opened in 1965.

By 1976 the four-year academy grew to as large as 350 students. In 1976, Charles Hanson was the principal and the school had dormitories, a science building, gymnasium, and an administration building. The companion elementary school had an enrollment of around 115 students at this same time. Laurelwood Academy was closed in 1985 after enrollment had declined at the schools of the Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

In 1988, the Oregon Conference sold the  academy to a private group run by alumni of the school for $1.5 million. The school also owned stands of timber and other agricultural property, as well as a furniture production facility leased to Harris Pine Mills that closed in 1986. When sold, the school had more than a dozen private residences, three academic buildings, two residence halls, and the gymnasium. In September 1988, the company that bought the campus re-opened Laurelwood Academy with 40 students under the direction of principal Harold Clark.

Enrollment increased to around 90 students by 1996, and was around 80 in 2001. In 2007, the school re-located to the Eugene, Oregon, area after enrollment was at 90 students. The new campus on Jasper-Lowell Road opened that year on a  piece of property with 19 students. The land was donated to the academy by the McDougal Foundation. Laurelwood Seventh-day Adventist Elementary School still operates in Laurelwood, and now has enrollment of about 20, in grades 1 through 8 while the former academy buildings there housed the Mission College of Evangelism for a few years. The former grounds in Laurelwood were sold to the religious group Ananda in May 2011.

The Academy closed after the 2010-2011 school year, due to financial issues. They have decided to run a "small school" for the 2011-2012 school year, and they hope to regain financial footing for the 2012-2013 year. The campus will still be used for a yearly camp-meeting by Light Bearers Ministries.

Academics
The academy enrolled students in grades 9 through 12 at the boarding school. Laurelwood was provisionally accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. In addition to academics, students also learned manual labor by farming on the campus. Agriculture and business were the primary educational focuses of Laurelwood Academy. Laurelwood is an affiliate of Outpost Centers International.

Two provincial by-elections were held in the Canadian province of Manitoba on March 24, 2009 to fill vacancies in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. Both were won by the governing Manitoba New Democratic Party.

Elmwood
The electoral district of Elmwood became vacant in fall 2008 when incumbent New Democratic Party MLA Jim Maloway resigned from the legislature to run as the federal New Democratic Party candidate in Elmwood—Transcona in the 2008 federal election.

Bill Blaikie, the former MP whose retirement from federal politics opened up the NDP candidacy in Elmwood—Transcona, subsequently announced his intention to stand in the provincial by-election. Two other candidates, Ed Innes and Darryl Livingstone, had submitted nomination papers, but both dropped out before the nomination meeting, and Blaikie was acclaimed as the party's candidate on December 14, 2008.
The Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party chose Adrian Schulz, a 25-year-old businessman who left high school at 14 to start his first computer business, the Manitoba Liberal Party chose Regan Wolfrom, a community activist, and the Green Party of Manitoba candidate was James Beddome, who was selected as the party's new leader in 2008.

Blaikie won the by-election, marking the first time in his 30-year political career that he will be serving in a governing party caucus rather than an opposition role.

The Pas
The electoral district of The Pas became vacant with the death of incumbent New Democratic MLA Oscar Lathlin on November 1, 2008. The by-election was won by Frank Whitehead, a former chief of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, who ran for the New Democrats.

The Liberal candidate was Maurice Berens, a high school teacher from Norway House, and the Progressive Conservatives selected Edna Nabess, a clothing store owner in The Pas.

Geoffrey Loftus (born December 24, 1945) is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Washington.  He specializes in memory and attention, and his most recent research focuses on face perception and hindsight bias.  Loftus received a B.A. in experimental psychology from Brown University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Stanford University in 1971, where his advisor was Richard C. Atkinson.  He subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of George Sperling in 1972, and he joined the faculty of the University of Washington shortly thereafter, where he has remained since.  He taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 1995–1996 academic year. Geoff Loftus was married to fellow psychologist Elizabeth Loftus from 1968 to 1991. They are now divorced, but remain close colleagues. Geoff Loftus retired from full-time professorship in July, 2017, primarily to focus on his legal work. He still regularly testifies as an expert witness.

Legal work
Increasingly, Loftus has been applying his scientific work to issues in human cognition that have arisen in legal cases. He has participated in one way or another in approximately 1,000 such cases. He has testified as an expert witness in perception, memory, statistics, and video-game behavior in approximately 495 civil and criminal cases. He has testified in Superior court in 13 U.S. states, United States federal courts in 11 different cities, a U.S. Court-martial at the U.S. Naval Air Station Sigonella in Italy, and Canadian court in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His work has been cited by the Innocence project in several of their cases, most notably that of Darrell Edwards.

He has written articles on information loss in the human visual system associated with a witness's seeing someone from a specific distance (most relevant to the Innocence Project work) and visual hindsight bias.

The Golden Kela Awards
are a satirical take on Bollywood that award the worst performances in Hindi cinema each year. Created by Random Magazine, winners are selected each year by an online poll and receive an award in the shape of a golden banana (केला kelā in Hindi). The first award ceremony took place on 7 March 2009 in New Delhi (India). The fifth award ceremony was held on 30 March 2013. Jaspal Bhatti made a special appearance at the inaugural event, dishonoring the Indian film talent of the year 2008.  The intention behind the Golden Kela is to ridicule the Hindi film stars and acknowledge the worst of Indian Cinema. Since, several award ceremonies each year celebrate the best of Hindi Cinema, Random Magazine and the Sundaas Film Institute chose to be different by giving away the Best of the Worst of Indian Cinema. Golden Kela Awards are not meant to insult anyone. It is just a way to make it a laughter exercise, a therapy of sorts to forget about the failures and look at what went wrong with the movie and the act. Abhishek Bachchan came to the Golden Kela Awards in 2010 and accepted the Dara Singh Award for his attempt to speak with an American accent in Delhi 6

WPZA (107.9 MHz FM, Air1) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary worship music format. It is licensed to Canton, Illinois and serves the Peoria radio market.  The station is currently owned by Educational Media Foundation.

History
WPZA was known as WBYS-FM for many years on 98.3 FM with an easy listening format.  In August 1997, the station was upgraded to 25,000 watts and moved to 107.9 FM.  This allowed the station to target the Peoria market, and in late 2004 switched to a Classic Hits format as "CD 107.9".

WPZA is one of only 5 radio stations in the Peoria radio market with a Class B signal. In July, 2008, a tornado took down the original tower constructed in 1947 for sister station WBYS, and a new tower was constructed and registered in March, 2009.

On December 27, 2010, WCDD changed the format to country, branded as "CD Country 107.9".

On December 11, 2020, WCDD was sold to EMF (Educational Media Foundation) for $170,000, pending a flip to Air1. The station signed off on March 31, 2021, at 6:00 PM CDT to make way for the switch to Air1, with "A Boy Named Sue" from Johnny Cash being the final song played on the format before signing off.

On March 31, 2021, Illiana Communications, LLC closed the sale on WCDD to EMF, who changed the call sign to WPZA. Meanwhile, the country format has now moved to WBYS and rebranded as "94.1 BYS."

Sports coverage
From 2012 to 2014, WCDD served as the broadcast home of the Peoria Rivermen, during the team's years in both the AHL and SPHL. The team's broadcasts came internet-exclusive after the expiration of the 2-year deal with the station.

The Capital Theater in Ely, Nevada was built in 1916 by C.O. Fleming and W.P. Hull. The building began as a vaudeville hall that hosted a diverse range of live entertainment, including acrobats, comedians, lecturers, and magicians. The building reopened as a cinema in 1923, at a time when films were becoming popular. The theater closed in 1963. The building's style represents a possible reconstruction after a 1929 fire, and might best be described as Spanish Colonial Revival. The theater's design was carried out by the owners.

The tall brick exterior's lower portion, which houses the retail stores, has been altered, but the upper two thirds remain as built with a scalloped parapet. The interior was remodeled in the Art Deco style in 1938, shortly after the Hull brothers' other theater, the Central Theater, was completed in the same style.

The Capital was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Brothers Brad and Chris Lani, local residents originally from Hawaii, purchased the theater from owner Norm Goeringer in December 2004. In January 2007, the Lanis announced plans to renovate the building and reopen it as a multi-purpose theater for films, concerts, and theatrical performances. The building was found to be in excellent condition following an inspection. At the time, the building was occupied by Herline Jewelry and Fantasy Fast Photo.

Shane Jolley (born 1971/72) is a Canadian politician, small-business owner, and cycling advocate. From 2008 to 2011, Jolley served as the male deputy leader for the Green Party of Ontario.

Early life

Jolley was born in Meaford, Ontario to Ralph Jolley and Joanne Goff.

After living in Ottawa for four years following high school, Jolley returned home. In 1995, Jolley began working with his father in the family's store, Jolley’s Cycle Centre, outside Meaford. In 2000, following a restructuring of the business, Jolley established Jolley’s Alternative Wheels and, in 2001, moved the business to 2nd Ave. E. in Owen Sound.

Federal politics

Jolley stood as the Green Party of Canada's candidate in the riding of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound in the 2006 Federal Election. Placing third with 12.91% of the vote, Jolley was the highest polling Green candidate in Canada.

Provincial politics

In the 2007 provincial election, Jolley was the Green Party's candidate in Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound and came in second place with more than 33 per cent of the vote, giving Jolley the best finish of any Green Party candidate in a Canadian federal or provincial election at that time.

Following the election, Jolley defeated three other candidates to be elected Green Party of Ontario male deputy leader at the party's annual convention in 2008, serving alongside Judy Smith Torrie as the party's female deputy leader.

Jolley declined to run for the Green Party nomination for the 2011 election, withdrawing suddenly from the nomination race against Municipality of West Grey councillor Don Marshall. In October 2011, Jolley announced he would be standing as an independent candidate in the 2011 election. Jolley highlighted his fiscally-conservative, socially-liberal attitudes, praising portions of the Progressive Conservative platform, calling for local solutions to issues, and attacking rigid partisanship. Jolley finished fifth with 3.58% of the vote.

Personal life

In 2008, Jolley was sentenced to probation after he pled guilty to a trespassing charge. Jolley had been personally investigating a spate of thefts of high-priced bicycles in Owen Sound and mistakenly found himself on the property of two local residents. Jolley attempted to personally apologize for the incident, but the homeowners opted to pursue legal action.

Jolley lives in Owen Sound with his wife and three daughters.

We ran aground off the Labrador coast – in northeastern Canada, on 26 September 1941. We got into the lifeboats and then were told to get back onboard the ship. We found the engine room was half full of water so we got off very quickly again. She didn’t sink because she must have been sitting on the bottom. The foggy weather saved our lives because the submarines were waiting for the convoy to sail into the Atlantic Ocean when it came out of the straight, off the Labrador Coast. We did not panic when the ship ran aground because we could not see where we were going. In peace-time, we would have sailed from the convoy area via the Atlantic Ocean but we went the other way to dodge the submarines, but they were waiting for us to come out anyway" (Carter, pp. 28–29).

California () is a former pit village in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. It lies between Shieldhill and Avonbridge on the uplands which form the southern edge of the council area.

The population recorded in the United Kingdom 2001 census was 702, down from 747 in 1991.

Origin of the name
Crown Office precognitions indicate that ‘California Row’ existed by 1860. The origin of the name California is unclear. Local tradition suggests that 'black gold' was discovered in Muiravonside at the time of the California Gold Rush of 1848–1855. While a popular myth, it does not hold up to historical scrutiny. There is a long history of coal mining in the area, and in 1832 coal from nearby Blackbraes was already being sold and marketed as 'Blackbraes Diamond'). The emergence of the settlement may be contemporaneous with the Gold Rush, however, as reflected in the following housing report of 1911, which claimed "The village of California, also in South East Stirlingshire, was built in 1849, and no doubt took its name from the region of the gold boom at that time, just as a modern colliery in the same part of the county was christened Klondyke by the miners - and I have heard two or three houses attached to it go by the name of Dawson City."

History

Nineteenth century
California grew on the common muir of Whitesiderigg between Gardrum Burn and Redding Muir. Throughout the 18th century the area was grazing land for cattle coming from the south on the way to the Falkirk Tryst. The settlement emerged in the 19th century as a result of intensive coal mining. Colliers had been settling on Whitesiderig Muir throughout the early nineteenth century on land claimed by the Duke of Hamilton. Surrounded as it was by collieries at Blackbraes, Gardrum, Shieldhill and Redding, the settlement's location was determined by its proximity to the collieries of the area. By 1860 California Row had come into existence and was owned by James Nimmo & Company, owners of the nearby Blackbraes Colliery. Investment by the Duke of Hamilton and the Carron Company in coal mining at Gardrum and Redding saw an influx of population in response to the growth of employment opportunities within the mining industry.

In this period California was bisected by the Duke of Hamilton's Mineral Railway which was built to move coal from the number 16 Gardrum Pit to the Union Canal, the main colliery complex at Redding and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The line ran through California, along present day Princes Street past California Row, then down Queen's Drive and on to the Redding Muir. In 1847 the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway built the Shieldhill Branch which was subsequently acquired by the North British Railway. This became the Gardrum Branch and later, the Blackbraes Branch. In 1871 the NBR completed the link to Gardrum Moss and the private line of the Duke of Hamilton, thereby giving California a freight link to Edinburgh and Glasgow by way of the Slamannan Junction Railway at Manuel. The Blackbraes Branch was later acquired by the London North Eastern Railway in the Grouping of 1923.

Twentieth century
In 1918, accounts of living conditions in California were presented by the Stirling Miners' Union to the Royal Commission on Housing which was critical of housing in East Stirlingshire pit villages. Among their objections to the conditions in California were that there were 'No washhouses, no coal-houses ; there are six dry-closets and one street well for twenty-four families'.’. The village ash-pits were cleaned monthly and the mineral railway, which ran through the village, was also used as a drain and sewer. Nonetheless, this was seen as an improvement on the previous situation, where the inhabitants resorted to fields and hedgerows and the village was marked by middens.<ref>http://www.mining-villages.co.uk/329.html  Housing of Scottish Miners – Report on the Housing of Miners of Stirlingshire and Dunbartonshire'', By John C. M'Vail, M.D., LL.D. County Medical Officer - Part 2 1911? Part III - HOUSES BUILT BEFORE 1899.</</ref>

The conditions described in these reports contributed to the provision of new housing in the 1930s. By 1931, Stirling County Council were in the process of providing 12 three-apartment houses. Mining remained the main source of employment. Nonetheless, working conditions in the nearby collieries were still hazardous. For example, Andrew Anderson and his son William, of California, were killed in the Redding Pit Disaster of 1923. Ironically, the source of the water which flooded the pit was traced to California and the diversion of a small burn there.

Employment was also provided at a series of peat extraction works at the nearby Gardum Moss. The Peat Moss Litter works at Gardrum, however, were demolished by the 1930s. However, in the 1950s this site was used as an experimental peat drying facility which was operated by a professor of Glasgow University. Until the 1990s the site was worked by William Sinclair Horticulture.

Present day
Currently, California is mainly residential and contains California Primary School which was built in 1914 for miners' children at the request of Grangemouth Parish School Board and a newsagent. The village is represented by the Braes Area Forum. In recent years Falkirk Council has tried to rebrand California as 'The Sunshine Village' with the placing of a sign in the centre of the village to that effect.

Sport
Quoits and football have been particularly popular in California. The 1920s was remarkable for California Celtic FC, winners of the Polmont and District Amateur Cup in season 1919-20 and who took the unusual step of changing their name to California Rangers after financial difficulties forced them to reapply to the Polmont and District Amateur League under a new name. A team was also set up in 1961. California is currently represented in the Stirling and District Amateur Football League by California Star FC and California FC.

The Bob Hope Theatre is a community theatre in Eltham in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, England. The theatre is owned and run by the members of Eltham Little Theatre Company. The theatre's own repertory members present approximately 11 shows each year, including a pantomime every January, and an annual musical. A variety of other companies also perform at the theatre throughout the year – about 15 additional productions.

History
Eltham Little Theatre (ELT) Company was formed on 12 November 1943, to promote drama, music and allied arts in Eltham and its immediate vicinity. During the early years, it was without a permanent home but early in 1946, ELT was able to arrange an annual lease on Eltham Parish Hall (the current theatre). Eltham Parish Hall (built in 1910) was unavailable earlier as it was being used as a military furniture store for the duration of the Second World War.

During the period from 1948 to 1950 there were some 600 individual members and 25 affiliated societies, and a production was staged every other weekend throughout the season.

Throughout this time, the theatre's management aimed eventually to purchase the building. Members were continually engaged in fund-raising activities to that end. By 1957, however, it became apparent that the asking price was beyond reach, and a sub-committee memorandum was submitted to the Borough Council with a recommendation that the building be acquired as an artistic centre for Eltham. While rejecting the recommendation, the council awarded the theatre a grant in aid, towards running expenses, in the sum of £150. This grant, increased to keep step with inflation, continued until the 1980s.

The Bob Hope Theatre is a member of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain.

Bob Hope intervention
During the late 1970s, several commercial concerns expressed an interest in the building for such purposes as a video recording studio, a sports centre and a multi-entertainment complex. None of these came to fruition for one reason or another. However, in 1979, the owner of the theatre wanted to sell the land and so would not renew the lease and without funds to find another base, members were widely resigned to the closure of both the building and the company.

By chance, Bob Hope, who was born in Craigton Road, Eltham, was in the UK to promote the Bob Hope British Classic Golf Tournament when he heard about the plight of the theatre.

Hope resolved to do what he could to help, and raised £58,000 through the 1980 and 1981 golf tournaments.

Hope was assisted by celebrity friends in fund-raising for the theatre. While negotiations for the purchase of the building continued, Dickie Henderson (vice-chairman of the Bob Hope British Golf Classic) gave a benefit performance of his one-man show at the theatre to raise funds towards refurbishment. This was a tremendous evening of entertainment, enhanced by
the presence in the audience of several star personalities, including Max Wall.

In November 1982, the purchase of the freehold was completed and Eltham Little Theatre was renamed The Bob Hope Theatre.

In September 1982, Hope became co-honorary president of Eltham Little Theatre Company along with former President of the United States Gerald Ford, who was heavily involved with the Bob Hope Classic Golf Tournament.

In August 1991, Hope donated £28,000 from the benefit performance he staged at the London Palladium to raise money directly for the theatre.

The Democracy Tree (Bahasa Malaysia: ) is a rain tree in Malaysia, named for its role in the 2009 Perak constitutional crisis. It is noted as the venue where 27 Perak state lawmakers from Pakatan Rakyat comprising Democratic Action Party, Parti Islam Se-Malaysia and Parti Keadilan Rakyat, held an 'emergency assembly' on 3 March 2009. The tree was located about 100m from the Perak Darul Ridzuan building which houses the state assembly. The assembly was held under the tree by the state assemblymen after being blocked by the police from entering the premises. Dr. Zambry, from UMNO, and recently suspended assembly secretary Abdullah Antong Sabri had claimed that the sitting was invalid because it did not have the consent of Sultan Azlan Shah.

Assembly
The 27 assemblymen who turned up – all from the Pakatan Rakyat – stood around V. Sivakumar, the speaker, who had donned his speaker's robe. The sitting convened at 10.20am.

Motions
Three motions were passed within 15 during the 'emergency assembly'. The motions are:

to support Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful Menteri Besar, tabled by Titi Serong assemblyperson Khalil Idham Lim.
to dissolve the State Assembly, tabled by Teja assemblyperson Chang Lih Kang.
to adopt the order made by the Rights and Special Privileges Committee to suspend Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and his six executive councillors, tabled by Sitiawan assemblyperson Ngeh Koo Ham.

Plaque
On 8 March 2009, a plaque was subsequently placed by the assemblymen to commemorate the assembly sitting. Many local residents came to take photographs with the plaque and tree. However a few days later, the plaque was found vandalized repeatedly before finally removed by the Ipoh City Council (MBI).

On 22 March 2009, five pieces of the broken plaque destroyed by vandals were auctioned away by the Pakatan Rakyat to supporters. A total of RM42,900, excluding donations, was raised in the auction.

Aftermath
A DVD featuring the tree was released during ceramahs but it was subsequently banned. Tebing Tinggi assemblyman Ong Boon Piow was arrested for allegedly violating the Film Censorship Act 2002 for “manufacturing, circulating, distributing, and displaying the content of the DVD without first getting a ‘B’ certificate from the Film Censorship Board.
