I saw the PBS special as well. Agree it was very interesting, but noticed the conspicuous absence of any mention of the "abandoned", neglected sites with which we are all so familiar. No mention of the need for machetes and chain saws in order to access such sites. No mention of the desperate need to salvage, repair and restore the forgotten grave yards and burying grounds. The closest thing I saw was the bit about the condition of cemeteries in San Francisco before they were all relocated outside the city. The special showed the kind of cemeteries that I used to believe were the "rule". It wasn't until the mid-1990s that I learned not all cemeteries are mowed and maintained the way the ones are which we see on the side of busy roadways on our way to work each day. There's a whole other aspect with which we are all painfully familiar that wasn't even mentioned. Lois

It was a positive thing for me to watch as people being interviewed commented several times that the people are not really gone, their bodies are just resting there - as I lost one of best friends on Monday......... all in all it was a very good program and I hope it relays the inspiration that all cemeteries need to be maintained.

Mezo, Jim would like to recall the message, "[INPCRP] PBS Cemetery Program".

I thought it was present well too, I only saw half the program. I know it will air again this month sometime. They showed communities really enjoying the history and grounds. And how important it was to share that history in their communities. Now on a different note. I have updated a few webpages this morning. We have had a new logo donated to us, with no restrictions. I love it and it reads much better. I'll try to work on a page that show the different sizes soon so all the County Coordinators can capture the Logo.gif file and you all can update your WebPages. Not much of the text changed on these pages, but the backgrounds and text colors. And I will continue to work on these, little by little. There are still probably over 50 pages still not connected and this will take time. I am open to hear your thoughts on any page you think needs additions or corrections as well. This is your site too.

I thought it was an interesting program, and promoted cemeteries in a positive way. I learned a few things, like the use of the word "cemetery". I have seen old deeds and references that called them "grave yards" and "family burying grounds", but did not know that the word "cemetery" did not come into use till 1831 when Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge Massachusetts was founded as America's first landscaped or garden cemetery.

Did anyone see the program? It aired here in NM, but I was on travel. Just curious to know...thanks from Marilynn in NM

I'm so tired of the media and ghost hunters using cemeteries as a cheap thrill at Halloween. I'm very curious to see the program, though, because it sounds like a similar description of my cemetery appreciation classes and "How to Explore a Cemetery" tours. Katie in Ohio

Someone was using an epoxy other that Mastico to repair stones. Does anyone know what that was and where to get it? At 07:57 PM 10/24/2005, you wrote: >Does anyone have a current source for Mastico?

We have cancelled the ceremony for tomorrow based on the cold, rainy forecast. We are hoping to reschedule in the next 4 weeks or so. Cindy -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.12.3/141 - Release Date: 10/18/05

Here's another link if anyone had trouble finding it on line. Mark's having computer problems. We were pleased for the most part with the article. Front page with Picture no less. They have plans to cover the rededication as well. I'm not sure why the Star/Press is suddenly giving us such good coverage, they didn't even show up for the rededication of Parker Moore, the cemetery we did last year. The ceremony is probably 1/2 hr or so beginning at 2:oo pm Saturday, Oct 22. The cemetery is just North of corner of S Walnut and 26th Street on East side of Walnut (it's the South end of town). It would be great to see some folks. Cindy W -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.12.3/141 - Release Date: 10/18/05

Jeanne Burke, Clark County Historian, filed this report this evening concerning the investigation at the old Civil War Cemetery in downtown Jeffersonville. The bottom line appears to be that we still don't know if the graves remain under the baseball field at the Park or if the remains were relocated elsewhere. ============================ 10/19/2005 Lois, I spent several hours at Old City Cemetery/Colston Park today and will go back tomorrow. What the archaeologists discovered today was that the west end of this area was used as a repository for fill. Even though their ground penetratrating radar indicated some areas of disturbance that they thought might have been graves, none were found. They think that when I-65 was built and the old houses on Market Strret were torn down, the rubble was bulldozed over on this land. Many old bottles and crocks were found along with bricks, glass, and china pieces. There was also lots of ashes. The archaeologists only explored that part of the area which was within 100 feet of the proposed bridge ramp, as they must do according to the law. It is good to know that this area was not part of the original burial ground and that no graves will be disturbed. Please let all concerned folks know that there is nothing to worry about at this site. Regards, Jeanne
