Tile art brightens up Chapelhay Community Playgarden

1:00pm Friday 27th June 2014 in News

ARTISTS took inspiration from nature to create a new tile display at a Weymouth garden.

Around 50 budding artists of all ages popped in to Chapelhay Community Playgarden recently to create brightly coloured painted tiles for the community area.

The tiles will be varnished, fired, mounted on a board and then displayed for the community to see at the garden. The project was organised by the playgarden and Steps club for young people. Youngsters from the club ran the activities while the garden group provided the tiles and the artists.

Clare Sutton, chairman of the playgarden group, said: I used to be on the committee at Steps and it was great to work with them again.

Youth worker Jenny Hart, said: It was great to see our young people encourage others in a peer education role and we very much hope to do other projects with the playgarden.

The playgarden group meets on the first Sunday of the month from 11.30am.

For further information people are asked to contact Clare Sutton on 01305 771180 or email her at clare.sutton@zen.co.uk

The first floor of Trump International Hotel and Tower flooded Thursday morning after a pipe burst during a test of the buildings sprinkler system.

A spokesman for the 96-story River North skyscraper said the water has been turned off and crews are making repairs.

"A pipe burst near the west public parking entrance, which is separate from the main entrance of the building," said T. Colm O'Callaghan, vice president and managing director of the building. "Hotel and residential services have not been affected."

Just before 9:30 a.m., workers were seen scrambling to move certain items outside of the towers southwest entrance near Wabash Avenue as water poured through the ceiling and gushed down stairs.

The tower also flooded on Feb. 15 after a Chicago Fire Department standpipe was opened, causing an estimated $700,000 in damage.

Three men were charged with felony criminal damage to property: Carl Koenemann, 25, Benjamin Nitch, 25, and Daniel Maradei, 24. All three have pleaded not guilty to the charges and are due back in court July 31.

In that incident, elevator shafts flooded in a 10-minute torrent of water from the fifth-floor stairwell. Woodwork, marble flooring and electrical infrastructure was damaged, but the flooding did not shut down the hotel or private residences.

Trump Tower floods in sprinkler incident

Newly installed 20-foot-tall letters spelling out T-R-U-M-P are seen on the side of real estate billionaire Donald Trump's skyscraper in Chicago, Thursday, June 12, 2014. The letters have triggered a war of words between Trump and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.(AP Photo/Stacy Thacker)

It's too soon to tell whether cooler heads will prevail in the Donald Trump-Rahm Emanuel spat over the billionaire's name being prominently affixed to a Chicago skyscraper.

As for the tower's sprinkler heads, well, that's another story.

The first floor of the Trump International Hotel and Tower flooded Thursday morning after a test of the building's sprinkler system went awry, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The water poured through the ceiling near the 96-floor tower's southwest entrance and gushed down stairs around 9 a.m.

Crews were making repairs as of early Thursday afternoon, the paper reported.

The tower, located along the Chicago River, has made news in recent weeks over a sign bearing Trump's last name in 20-foot-tall letters affixed to the building's side. Emanuel has called the sign "architecturally tasteless," while Trump has deemed it a "world-class sign" that is a valuable addition to the Chicago skyline.

The tower also flooded on Feb. 15 after a standpipe installed by the Chicago Fire Department was opened, causing an estimated $700,000 in damage. Three men were charged with felony criminal damage to property in the case.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
