The Military Museums project will bring two Calgary landmarks, the Naval Museum of Alberta and the Museum of the Regiments, under one roof while incorporating an area dedicated to the Canadian air force. Strong support from several Calgary businesses and citizens have made the project a reality, including one anonymous donor who recently contributed a \"sizable amount\" to help cover the millions in additional construction fees, [Brian Brake] said. Bringing the museums together will allow kids to gain a better understanding of the role of all aspects of the military in past wars, something the younger generation is missing, said Canadians for Military Preparedness spokeswoman Corrie Adolph.

The site will sit on 10 acres of land donated by Chris Andersen with the museum itself having a foundation of 40,000 square feet and parking available for about 200 vehicles. Part of the land will be developed to serve what [Brian Brake] called a \"timewalk\", an alternate concept to the idea of telling the story that proposed for the stairs to the bone bed. Brake called the timewalk a \"very unique\" feature of the facility which will surround the outside of the building and has the advantage of easier access for people in wheelchairs or who otherwise have difficulty walking up and down steps. \"The overall concept was for us to create something that made sense and was saleable,\" Brake said, \"and for us to create a facility like this in a region where you only have about 70,000 people, we had to be able to sell this corporations and every level of government.\" In order to do that, they had to make it a sustainable as possible. Included in the plan is to develop a heating system and a cooling system to keep operating costs to a minimum using modern green technology. The actual designs will be in the hands of the designers, but energy efficiency will be the \"long-term goal of the facility\".

Wapiti Gravel Suppliers -Jim Sawchuk attended the meeting to update Council on their temporary diversion license for a water well drilled at their rail siding and asphalt storage facility near Clairmont. Council had previously written a letter requesting the company monitor wells within the immediate draw down area yearly. and Bob McCreight requested that Council consider appointing one Councillor to sit on their board. Council passed a motion to appoint one Councillor to sit on each co-op board in the County. Valhalla Recreation Centre -Councillor Richard Harpe's motion to cover $4929.50 owing for the Centre's insurance was lost. Letter to Provincial Tourism, Parks and recreation Minister - Council will send a letter to Cindy Ady, Minister of Tourism, Parks & Recreation, requesting that she uphold her mandate to preserve important ecological areas such as Saskatoon Mountain Natural Area.

In 1953, he moved to London. His big break came when he met legendary French photographer Henri Cartier- Bresson, who invited him to join Magnum -- a collective of photographers, including Robert Capa and Eve Arnold, whose philosophy was to mix photojournalism with art. Assignments for Life, London Illustrated and Paris-Match followed, including photographing the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956, riots in Singapore and, in 1957, scenes of life and politics in Mao Tse-tung's China. [Brian Brake]'s work from that trip led to him being the only Western photographer allowed into China to cover the 10th anniversary of the Chinese Revolution two years later. Listener critic Geoff Chapple called his photographs of China \"sublime\". His assistant on the essay, Asoke Roy Chowdury, writes in Monsoon: \"Brian took great pains to make an in-depth study of the Indian monsoon and its importance to the country's socio-economic life. For this he read widely, met people of all sorts, and went to art galleries, museums and village fairs. He covered the country from the Himalayan ranges to the deserts of Rajasthan, from metropolises to the remotest villages. He left no stone unturned in his quest to portray the monsoon in the minutest detail.\" A tributary of the Mahanadi River in flood at Orissa.

\"There's something magical about small books,\" the authors write. \"Somehow you own them more than large ones. You can keep them in a secret box or the crook of a tree. You can fit them into a coat pocket or rucksack. One of the images -- a young girl, face uplifted to welcome the first rain drops -- became one of the best- known and best-loved 20th-century photographs. The complete collection of Brake's Monsoon series will appear for the first time next month with the release by publishers David Bateman of Monsoon (hardback $59.99) The New Zealand Ornithological Society's Atlas of Bird Distribution in New Zealand 1999-2004 could hardly be described as the ultimate handy pocket-sized birdwatchers' guide, but it is arguably one of the most valuable reference works on the country's birdlife to appear recently.

Brian Brake, program developer at Calgary's Military Museums, is concerned today's youth is not aware of Canadian history, especially the nation's role in the world wars. The most recent attempt is a contest commemorating the 90th anniversary of Vimy Ridge. Photo: Colleen De Neve, Calgary Herald / Brian Brake, program director at the Military Museums, formerly the Museum of the Regiments, hopes a contest for students commemorating the battle for Vimy Ridge will ensure its importance never fades.

The Military Museums project will bring two Calgary landmarks -- the Naval Museum of Alberta and the Museum of the Regiments -- under one roof, while adding an area dedicated to Canada's air force. Instead of just reading about conditions of a battle, researchers will be able to touch and feel what it was like to be there. They'll have access to diaries and written accounts from those who fought. Students can wander through museum displays, see uniforms and equipment, even feel the claustrophobia of trench warfare, [Rob Huebert] said. By bringing the museums together, kids will have a better understanding of the role of all aspects of the military in past wars, something the younger generation is missing, said Canadians for Military Preparedness spokeswoman Corrie Adolph.

A picture can tell a thousand words, so they say. It can also not tell the whole story. This is the case with renowned Auckland photographer Brian Brake's famous picture of a Bengali girl enjoying the monsoon rains. According to Michael of Auckland, Aparna Sen, now 61, is from a legendary family of Kolkata film makers. Her father, Chidananda Das Gupta, with Satyajit Ray, founded the Calcutta Film Society. Her grandfather was a famed Bengali poet. When Aparna was 16, Ray cast her in a film which coincided with Brake's visit. He needed a girl with rain on her face so took her on to the roof of her landlord's place. A watering can-equipped man climbed a ladder and to Aparna's embarrassment the picture went worldwide. \"I thought I looked awful. I was just a vain little thing at that time. Brian inscribed it as the Monsoon Girl. I think he forgot my name.\" Aparna is now a major director and in her 2002 film Mr and Mrs Iyer, which caused a sensation, her daughter, Konkona Sen Sharma, played the lead.
