In early twentieth-century Britain, nostalgia for rural purity and idealised country living came together with an interest in British identity to spark a variety of cultural events in the countryside, from rural pageants to myth-historical operas. Rutland Boughton and Reginald Buckley’s Glastonbury Festival (1914-1926) caught the imagination by offering community-based, specially composed works on national themes. Succeeding them was a rather different kind of enterprise, in which the aristocratic country mansion, rather than the choice of operatic subject matter, provided a sense of connection to the past and to British rural identity. The early history of Glyndebourne, the progenitor of British country-house opera, is the focus of this chapter, which seeks to trace the reasons for the genre’s ongoing success by examining the immersive logic of its initial design and operation.

Rillington Place Tuesday, BBC1, 9pm Based on the macabre real-life tale of serial killer John Christie, this new three-part series stars Tim Roth and Samantha Morton.

\"It is changing quite quickly and I'm able to see the new technologies coming. I have clients who are very interested in them and I do the business case for them,\" [John Christie] told the Times Review. \"There's actually some good economic sense to do these new technologies. I just wanted to bring it to their attention and see if they're interested in pursuing the next step.\" \"It's got implications for RCEC, RCFC and Downie,\" he said. \"Basically what we're going to do is research emerging technology, or technology that looks really promising, or technology that's actually proven to see if any of them would best suit Revelstoke's situation.\" \"Green diesel is in high demand so there's good investor opportunities there. I expect to see some real interest,\" he said. \"City's like Revelstoke have a real energy resource and that's what I've been telling people -- helping them to understand it's quite a viable resource.\"

The floor safe was discovered when [John Christie]'s crew demolished the 1930s-era Save-On-Gas station and adjoining restaurant last week. The team had been disappointed with their first find, a safe hidden in the old Thwaites Norris building in downtown Parksville.

\"It's not too often we run into safes, but we're two in a row here,\" he said. \"He came down to the site with a whole bunch of pictures,\" he said. \"It was pretty interesting. He had a picture of himself on Corfield on a boat. That's how much it had rained one time.\" He wanted some boards from the building for a keepsake,\" [John Christie] said, \"so we cut some up for him.\"

JOHN Christie continued his superb summer of success in the National Hot Rod division with victory in the SHP Engineering Irish Open Championship at Ballymena Raceway on August 31. Competitors from England, Scotland and Southern Ireland travelled to the province for the event, but once again it was the Northern Ireland drivers who dominated the major placings.

In June 2013, the Nakusp District Heating Group formed and is looking at a district heating system with the Village of Nakusp using wood waste to heat commercial buildings. However, this would only use approximately 20 loads of wood waste per year and Nakusp is currently holding over 600 loads. A feasibility study will be proposed in the near future as part of the pursuit of this venture. This is the proposal of John Christie of Vineyard Tech Consulting and Kelly Burnham of Proton Power Inc., two experts in the development of green technology who came to Nakusp on May 28 to meet with members of council, local businesses, the Chamber, and the Nakusp and Area Development Board.
