Highgate Park : More local news and events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as For the second consecutive year, Boy Scout Troop No. 244 in Lady Lake has been named the state’s best Scout troop by the Florida State American Legion.

“We are proud as we can be,” Scoutmaster Grant Gore said. “The troop absolutely deserved the award; we have got a really good group of kids.”

Selection for best Scout troop is based on competition from the more than 100 troops, said Sheldon Gotesky, charter organizational representative for American Legion Post 347 in Lady Lake, which recently presented the troop with a plaque commemorating the accomplishment.

Troop No. 244 also was recognized for its win by the Lady Lake town commissioners.

Reports include such information as awards troops receive on camping outings, participation in Legion activities and activities in troops’ communities, such as parades and food drives.

More signage news from in and around the UK from Hants and Dorset Signs as a lack of warning signs at a York-based construction firm has resulted in the company having to pay out £20,000 in fines after a contractor working at the company was seriously injured. Nottingham Magistrates Court has heard how Shepherd Construction did not provide adequate safety signs to prevent the worker driving a cherry picker over a concealed man-hole cover in August 2007, which led to the vehicle tipping over and the contractor damaging his skull, back and legs.

Health and Safety Executive inspector Martin Giles commented that operators of mobile elevating work platforms, such as scissor lifts and cherry pickers, should always be warned about any man-hole covers and underground services.

“The company failed to put in place adequate measures to find and record where the man holes and service covers were around the site and failed to take steps to protect them or prevent vehicles from driving over them,” he added.

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as in Abu Dhabi, the capital’s residents have been promised that “clear and consistent” street signs will start appearing across the emirate from this summer. The Department of Municipal Affairs (DMA) announced yesterday that it was developing a street signage manual that will include new standards for size, placement and typefaces. Properties will get unique addresses with building numbers that follow a logical order.

It plans on making sure addresses throughout the emirate are consistent and in the same style.

The new system, expected to be fully implemented by 2012, should make life easier for residents, particularly those in remote areas who struggle to describe their locations using only their proximity to landmarks or intersections.

“Finalising addressing system and street signage standards are the key steps in achieving a unified addressing system across the emirate of Abu Dhabi,” Rashid al Hajeri, the DMA chairman, said in a news release.

Allure Naturist Massage : More naturist news from in and around the UK as a man who admitted being naked on an East Neuk beach was cleared of a breach of the peace charge. Derek Holliday (59), Abbotsford Court, Glenrothes, was acquitted after a sheriff upheld a defence submission of no case to answer to the charge that on September 4, 2008, at Dumbarnie Links near Upper Largo, he paraded naked in front of a woman, and approached and followed her.

The case took almost 18 months to come to trial, and during evidence the alleged victim told the court that she was “now unsure” if the man in the dock was the one who caused her to “freeze” when he approached, holding his private parts.

The Dumbarnie coastal area is not an official naturist beach, but is on some websites as a place for nudists and naturists.

At an earlier stage the Crown accepted that just being naked in the locus would not be a breach of the peace, but it would seek a conviction over the allegation about approaching and following the woman.

In evidence she said that while walking her dog near Shell Bay Caravan Park, she spotted a man with binoculars at the beach, then lost sight of him.

Asked if she had seen the man again, the witness said that her dog had acted as if there was someone there, and then she saw a naked man about five metres away.

She said that although the incident had lasted a couple of minutes, it “seemed like forever.” The man ran off, and she called the police.

It had been such a long time ago, said the witness, that she was not sure if she would recognise him, although Holliday “resembled” him.

When asked why he had been at the beach, the accused had said it was “90% for an all-over tan, and 10% for self pleasure.”

He had acknowledged that a woman was about 200 yards from him, and that at one point he had taken off his shorts to cross some water. He said he had been told the area was a nudist beach.

Holliday accepted his actions could cause alarm, but he carried binoculars so that he would see anyone coming. If anything did happen, he said, it was unintentional and he intended no harm.

Highgate Park : More local news and local events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as some people are so Disney-obsessed that they’ll drive thousands of miles every year to visit the massive monument to Mickey Mouse, the character-driven theme park and commercial mecca known as Disney World.

Suzannah DiMarzio might be one of those people if she didn’t live so close to Orlando. A mother of three in Wesley Chapel, DiMarzio is a Massachusetts native and former Disney World employee who says she has never kicked her Disney addiction – and has no plans to try.

In fact, she is now a proud member of the Walt Disney World Moms Panel, a group of more than 40 Disney- and social media-savvy moms who double as Disney-specific vacation experts, offering tips and advice to people planning a trip to the Magic Kingdom.

While DiMarzio’s part-time position is unpaid, she does get park passes and received five days of training, with accommodations and dining paid by Disney. One of thousands of applicants, she will serve on the panel from April to June.

“I’m from Massachusetts, but I lived in Ocala when I was 10, so that’s when I started going to Disney,” she said. “We’d go every weekend. But then, we moved back to Massachusetts. In college, I decided I wanted to work for Disney.”

Highgate Park : More local news and events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as A redesigned IBM exhibit called “Smarter Planet” opened on at Walt Disney World near Orlando.

Highgate Park : More local news and local events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as following the successful launch of its first, North American theme park in 1999, Merlin entertainment’s LEGOLAND Florida is set to open in early 2011. This will be the fourth ‘LEGOLAND’ park to be built, mirroring the successful Danish, German, UK and Californian versions.

Travel pundits commented “After the news of Universal Orlando’s new Harry Potter experience hit the wire, we saw dramatic spikes in searches for tickets to Orlando. While investigating this, we saw a huge, unexplained spike in search traffic to the area on January 21st which didn’t seem to fit the trend. When your search traffic triples overnight, it tends to grab your attention. We then decided to look at what else happened in the area, or the news, that could explain the sudden interest.”

As it turns out, the official press release which announced the LEGOLAND Florida Resort project was released on the same day that search results to the region spiked to over 200% of their normal levels. Cheap flights search engines continued to see search results spike for 72 hours, before returning to more normal levels for the month.

LEGOLAND Florida Resort will take over the recently-closed Cypress Gardens and will include the well-known botanical gardens which made the area famous. The LEGOLAND plan includes over 50 rides and attractions, as well as a themed hotel and room for a second park. Overall, the project is expected to create over 1,000 jobs; helping improve the local job market and bringing in a boost to the local economy.

With the addition of LEGOLAND, Orlando continues to entice tourists to hop on cheap flights to Florida and rediscover their inner-child.

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as in Madrid — The state Department of Transportation has put up a four-way stop at routes 310 and 345 for safety, but some drivers think motorists are so used to it as a two-way stop that the intersection has become more dangerous.

Wendy L. Sharpe said she drove through the intersection Thursday and watched a near crash.

“There were several cars that almost got in an accident,” she said. “There was this white truck. I don’t think he knew he had to stop and he slammed on his brakes.”

The line of traffic on Route 310 coming from Massena also didn’t seem to understand the right-of-way rules at the four-way stop, she said

More signage news from in and around the UK from Hants and Dorset Signs as a Ramsey resident is protesting about a supermarket sign that was put up outside his house indicating the way to the new Tesco store…when no sign exists for the Co-operative supermarket. John Groom, of the Great Whyte, said he has been a customer at the Co-op for 20 years and that he was “furious”.

He told The Hunts Post: “I think it is so wrong. I have been shopping at the Co-op since it opened 20 years ago. You go straight on to Tesco and turn right for the Co-op but the arrow next to the sign says straight ahead. I wonder if the manager of the Co-op store is as livid as I am. It is unjust.”

A spokesman for the Tesco store in Ramsey said: “This is not something we control – this kind of signage is erected by the county council.”

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire County Council said: “This sign was something that Tesco applied for and paid for. Putting up a sign is a normal practice near many of its stores. If the Co-op wanted a sign, it would have to apply.
