After more than two hours of testimony from Monroeville administrators, residents and representatives from the Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple, council voted unanimously to table any action regarding the temples conditional use applications.

Councilman Jim Johns recused himself from the vote.

Monroeville Solicitor Bruce Dice said council must act on the matter within 45 days.

Councilman Rob Harvey made the motion to table to take advantage of the time to analyze the information we received tonight.

The Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple has requested conditional use approval to cut and fill nearly 25,000 cubic yards of earth near its current location along Abers Creek Road.

The Hindu temple wants to construct a 13,410 square-foot, two-story building; a 1,466 square-foot addition; and a 264 square-foot connecting wing along with four gazebos. The addition would consist of new worship facilities, an office, meditation areas and a kitchen.

Tom Ayoob, attorney for the temple, stated at the hearing that the municipalitys zoning ordinance allows as a conditional use a church and school, as well as major excavation. He added that the municipalitys planning commission recommended approval with conditions.

Raghu Malyala, secretary for the temple, said the additions would help accommodate our growing congregation as well as host community events and other activities not possible at the current facility.

The temple also is asking to consolidate four plots of land into one, new 36.6-acre parcel.

The municipality cited steep slopes as constraints to development.

Many regard the wearing of a Native American headdress as a fashion accessory deeply offensive(Getty)

Glastonbury Festival will no longer sell Native American headdresses at the event following an appeal.

An online petition was set up calling for the world famous festival to stop selling the headdresses as a fashion accessory over complaints they are an "offensive and disrespectful" form of cultural appropriation that perpetuates "damaging and archaic" racist stereotypes.

The Change.orgpetition, set up by Daniel Round from Stourbridge, attracted just 65 signatures but appears to have done enough to sway the festival organisers.

Writing on the petition's page, Round said he has spoken privately with someone from the festival who informed him Native American headdresses will no longer be sold at Glastonbury stalls.

He said: "Although it is only one UK festival, I hope that if we spread the news of Glastonbury's decision online, positive discussions about the stereotyping of Native Americans and the headdress will grow in the UK and elsewhere."

On the festival's trader information page, Native American headdresses have been added to the list of products and services which cannot be sold at Glastonbury without authorisation, along with alcohol, cigarettes, candle flares, mobile phone changing, flags, and gazebos.

However, a spokesperson for the festival told IBTimes UKthat the story has been "blown out of proportion" and the removal of Native American headdresses is merely down to compliance with the festival's trading standards.

"The wording on our guidelines is very clear," he said. "There are a broad range issues to consider for anyone who applies to be a market trader, such as safety, before we decide if the product is appropriate to sell.

"We have guidelines about what we consider ethical and it is important to show there is an ideology behind our decisions and that it is not just a first come first serve basis.

ITS a sure sign that were in the depths of autumn when Wetherby re-opens its doors for the start of its major jumps campaign and todays curtain-raiser at the popular Yorkshire course is staged in support of Spinal Research and embraces a seven-race card.

One of the highlights is the 10,000 Bobby Renton Handicap Chase, in which racegoers may be drawn towards the peerless Tony McCoy aboard Jonjo ONeills Foundation Man, or the James Reveley-ridden Shadrack, winner of his last two races.

Both those horses, however, are reappearing after a break and their fitness has to be taken on trust. Perhaps a better proposition may be Alderbrook Lad, trained at Middleham by Micky Hammond and a horse who ran well to finish third over hurdles at Sedgefield recently.

Now back over the major obstacles, Alderbrook Lad, a previous winner on this course, has scored four times over fences. He is napped to add to his tally this afternoon with Joe Colliverin the saddle.

The 10,000 racing UK Anywhere Available Now Handicap Chase over two miles is the joint most valuable race on the card and offers Toledo Gold the chance to follow up his recent Hexham win, where he made all the running.

The handicapper has raised the Maurice Barnes-trained gelding 7lb for that success, but Barnes has engaged the services of 7lb claimer Stephen Mulqueen to erase that rise. He could take plenty of catching.

The Spinal Research Rachel Wright Memorial Hurdle - named in honour of the lady from Stamford Bridge who was such a driving force behind this charity day for many years - is a head-scratcher for punters. Most of the runners are Flat recruits making their jumping debuts, but at least Final Countdown has had the benefit of a recent outing over hurdles.

John Quinns charge was not totally convincing before finishing second at Bangor, but that experience should have had a beneficial effect on this dual-Flat winner.

Also worth noting at Wetherby are the fit from the Flat Goodwood Mirage (3.25), another of McCoys mounts, and recent winner Orbys Man (4.35), from the Charlie Longsdon stable which was successful on this card 12 months ago.

On the Flat at Nottingham, Hazelrigg makes appeal in the Racing Specials At 32RedSport.com Handicap over five furlongs.
