This park has an area of 3.97 square kilometres and contains Lake Kelso which was built for flood control of Sixteen Mile Creek and has a sandy beach for swimmers in the summer with a food concession and board walk along the lake to the Boat Rental shop which offers the rentals of canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats and is also open to any non-motorized watercraft. The Park also offers 20 campsites, 18 reserve-able picnic sites, and two camping/picnic mixed sites. Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Centre is located in the park and offers downhill skiing, snowboarding and tubing during the winter months. In addition, the Halton Region Museum is also located on the Kelso grounds. The park also features marked mountain biking and hiking trails.

Lake Kelso is a man-made reservoir which was created to control the flooding of Sixteen Mile Creek in Milton, Ontario. It is found within Kelso Conservation Area and is maintained by Conservation Halton.

One of the founders of Conservation Halton, Allan Day, recalls that before the reservoir was built, "Milton used to get flooded every spring thaw. Milton's main street would get flooded." It was Day who convinced the previous landowner to sell his property to the Sixteen-Mile Creek Authority in 1961. The authority purchased the land for $40 000 before erecting a $325 000 water control dam a few years later.

Taino Culture in Dominican Republic

 The Taino, first original settlers of Hispaniola Island, now Dominican Republic. When Christopher Columbus found the American continent back in October 12, 1492 he was under the impression of being at or close to India, in his quest for a quicker trade route. What he found were the Taino, an indigenous culture that populated many of the Caribbean islands. Columbus anchored in La Isabela,  Puerto Plata and built the first Spanish settlement in the New World.

 

Throughout the years to follow, the Taino were killed by the conquerors either by disease or battle, and their culture was almost completely wiped out. Most Dominicans nowadays rarely resemble what the Taino looked like, and only a few families have some Taino blood in their generations. Preserved in time, still many artifacts and stone pottery can be found in the island, and their simple art they left behind in caves.  The Dominican Republic Taino were the most peaceful of these indigenous groups.

 

The Taino developed a culture based primarily on agricultural production that allowed them to craft a significant increase of utilitarian objects such as vases and other containers made of clay and wood, well-polished stone axes, objects of basketry and woven plant fibers cotton which were decorated with dyes extracted from the Jagua (Genipa Americana) and annatto (Bixa orellana), with which they also painted their bodies on special occasions. In addition, the Taino were excellent sculptors who drew up ceremonial artifacts of great artistic expression as duhos or ceremonial seats, idols or cemíes, instruments for the cohoba ritual and monolithic rings.

 

Taino Zemi – The Religious icons

The zemi (also Cemí or Zemí), whose figure, carved in various materials and sizes, could act at will to decisively influence the normal development of human life and the environment: could cohabit with men and even breed through them. The zemi was the living body of God, the mythical entity, the deified ancestor. The emotional effect that would link to the faithful and proper performance of their spiritual powers depended on the expertise to craft it and the ability to be able to reflect the nature of it.

 

Housing

Taino villages were called yucayeques and housing units were the huts and log cabins, made of wooden posts buried in the soil and cane reeds with roofs held down by palm leaves or straw, leaving a vent on top covered by a stand for the exhaust and smoke from the embers that always kept indoors. A single hut could accommodate several families, as was common among the married daughters of Tainos to live in the homes of their parents.

Taino mythology and religion

The Tainos believed in a Supreme Being whom they called Yucahu Protector Maócoti Bagua, whose mother was Atabey, Mother of Waters and Protection of the labor, but in their mythological beliefs or other deities conceived cemíes living in the sky, named Turey, relating them to the weather, the creation of the earth and mankind. Among the most accepted cemíes were the stones of three points “or trigonolitos, propitiatory rituals related to fertility, such as swidden productivity and reproduction of the human race.

The trigonolito is a highly specialized piece about the area in which it is found far more frequently. The east coast of the Spanish and the west coast of Puerto Rico have been the places where significant amounts have been found in these parts.

 

 

 

  

Puerto Plata Dominican Republic Trip

We had a nice trip to Puerto Plata. The tour Guide was entertaining. What all ways impresse me in Dominican Republic is the fact that they always thank us for coming to their country and choosing to bring businesses here and not elsewhere. 

Many people have a job because of tourism from food industry to touristic attractions to jewelry industry to Chocolat factories.

There is a statue of Christ in tò of a mountain replicating the one in Brazil. Nearby we cisited a botanical garden with beautiful flowers.

A cable car bringht us to the top of the mountain. Spectacular views of the forests in bloom and the city bellow were a joy for the eyes. 

There is a fort in the beach a part of the fort is restored and available to visit for the tourists but a larger star fort underneath is ignored.

The fort has rooms that have low doors proof thatbthe fort was mud flooded.

Circular large rooms of the fort could have been water storage in the past. 

One of the features on the fort is a pineal cone in the corner in top of another circular small enclosure that could have been energy related. The pine cone could have been made of Mercury a sort of capacitor.

How old really is this fort the ancient one?

All forts are in water. They could have been used a s batteries.

Pine cone?

Mud Flood proof; the door is continued under the floor level that have been paved over?

Star For angle?

Round water container?

what are these? How old is this? Petrified mood?

Magnetic Hills

Dealurile pe care maşinile urcă singure

Fenomenul a fost semnalat prima dată în SUA, un­de a fost numit "magnetic hill". Dar şi în România exis­tă astfel de dealuri magnetice, în majo­ritatea lor cunoscute şi dezbătute în presă. Unul din ele este în­tâl­nit în Basarabia, la Orhei, unde localnicii susţin cu tărie că respectivul fenomen are legătură cu eve­ni­men­tele petrecute acolo în vremea celui de-al doilea război mondial şi cu activitatea naziştilor. Un alt caz este întâlnit în judeţul Bihor, la Vârciolog, într-o zonă unde, spre vârful dealului, maşinile merg singure pe şosea. Al treilea caz este în Zalău, la ieşirea spre Cluj, unde maşinile n-au nevoie de motor ca să urce panta. Un caz foarte cunoscut este întâlnit în Mara­mu­reş, între Budeşti şi Cavnic, unde, din nou, maşinile se depla­sea­ză singure. Alte situaţii similare sunt în­tâlnite în Munţii Gutâi, la trecerea dintre Baia Mare şi Sighetu Marma­ţiei, Pasul Ti­huţa, o porţiune de şosea în Baba­dag, Tul­cea, Obârşia Lotrului, Buzău, zona Bu­cium din Iaşi şi la Măgura Baciului din Bacău.
Dealul din Maramureş, de pe drumul dintre Budeşti şi Cavnic, rămâne cel mai cunoscut. Aici, atunci când oamenii îşi scot maşinile din viteză, acestea urcă sin­gure, de parcă ar fi împinse de o forţă invizibilă. În spe­ranţa de a găsi o explicaţie, în zonă au fost făcute mai multe experimente. Aces­tea au demonstrat că acelaşi fenomen care se întâmplă cu maşinile se repetă şi cu apa turnată pe deal sau cu nişte bile amplasate pe asfalt. Toate încep să umble, mânate de ceva nevăzut. Părerile experţilor sunt împărţite. Unii discută despre posibi­litatea existenţei unui câmp electro­mag­netic foar­te puternic în zonă, alţii consideră că pe deal s-ar pro­duce un tip de iluzie op­tică, datorată unei ruperi de pantă cu schim­bare de unghi, care oferă impresia de deal, acolo unde în realitate panta continuă, oamenii având astfel impresia că drumul urcă, atunci când el de fapt coboară. În ciuda acestor explicaţii destul de ne­clare, de altfel, nu puţini sunt cei care continuă să sus­ţină ipoteza unui fenomen paranor­mal veritabil, ce are loc în această zonă şi în cele nominalizate mai sus.
