THE FIGHT to save St Eval’s community centre and post office has taken a big step forward.

In April Defence Estates notified St Eval Community Centre users that the community facility would no longer be available from December 9. It is understood that the buildings will be demolished and the land sold off by Defence Estates.

Over the past few months the residents have been working under the banner of St Eval Area Community Action Forum (SEACAF) in partnership with Cornwall Council and local parish councils to secure alternative accommodation to house all the community’s requirements.

They are now in negotiations regarding a lease on one of the unused US Forces’ buildings on Orion Drive.

SEACAF chairman Paula Nederpel such as Scout and Guide groups.

“While the residents are not out of the woods yet, this is a positive move in the right direction. However, much more work remains to be done.

“The community at St Eval is growing day by day as more properties on the estate become occupied as the owners, Annington Homes Ltd, start to refurbish, sell, or rent out its houses.

“Of course, as the population grows so will the situation deteriorate if the community remains without its facilities.

The residents can be assured that the volunteers working on behalf of the community will continue the fight.”

said: “It is hoped that St Eval Parish Council will be able to take on a lease securing the future of our facilities, at least in the short term. This process is in the very early stages and SEACAF is in the process of producing a business plan ensuring this project is self-sustaining in order for the parish council to consider any lease.

“During the past few years we have seen the closure of the St Eval Bowl, Westwinds Social Club and now we are faced with the greatest loss of all – that of the buildings and land that allow the community to have access to a post office and general store, together with accommodation for the many varied users of the community buildings

MELBOURNE (AFP) Politicians, police and thousands of ordinary Australians sat down at Indian restaurants across the nation Wednesday for “Vindaloo Against Violence”, a mass dining protest against racial attacks.

More than 17,000 people registered to participate in the grassroots campaign, which went viral — and global — from humble beginnings as a 100-person event on social networking site Facebook.

Organiser Mia Northrop, 35, said she’d received event notifications from as far afield as Tajikistan, with people set to down a curry in Tokyo, Amsterdam, New York and Stockholm in solidarity with the cause.

“I’m really thrilled that this got the support that it did, there’s no way that I could have imagined it would end up to be this big,” Northrop, a digital media…

The first chamber in Alstom’s carbon dioxide scrubber is a cooler.

The scrubber has a Trane cooling unit that uses the same technology as the company’s residential air-conditioners. The exhaust will enter the chamber at temperatures exceeding 120 degrees and will leave at 35 degrees.

Once cooled, the gas will be piped through an 18-inch pipe to a carbon dioxide absorption tower. The exhaust will rise up from the bottom, while an ammonium sulfate slurry rains down from spray nozzles at the top. As the smoke mixes with the slurry, the ammonia bonds to the carbon dioxide
