Since the original construction of the cathedral, there have been a few restorations. In the 1940's and the 1970's, major capital improvements were made under the cardinals Spellman and Cooke. The organs in the cathedral, also called the Kilgen organs, were restored during the mid 1990's, and thirteen years later in 2003, the Lady Chapel was restored. Most recently, the main altar, the chapels of Saints Anthony, Elizabeth, Jean Baptiste de la Salle, Louis and Michael were restored. Also included in these restorations was the sacristy. Recent construction workers have added a new shrine for Our Lady of Czestochowa.

“Crocicchio” by Ardengo Soffici is a poem written in the era of the historic avant-garde in which Italy was facing a technological revolution; railways, cars and trams were all being transformed and as such the country saw a rise in the Italian Futurist movement. This movement praised all things modern by exploring new forms and technologies, treating them as a spectacle to be revered. The influence of these futuristic ideologies is clear in Crocicchio as Soffici paints a series of pictures of city life characterised by the chaos and activity which he experiences in his passing.

Plants and animals are such beautiful living things. There are over 700 different types of plants that made Wasaga Beach their home and 4 out of 700 are rare in Canada. Some of those plants exist because of the sand dunes that make the beach. Just walking around the park the view of the flowers is enticing like the Moccasin flower Orchids (Figure 5) or the British Lichen (Figure 6). There are also plants that are not enticing like the poison ivy that lurks in the bushes.

There are many ancient buildings that have withstood the test of time because of their construction and architecture. Some have undergone various renovations, others total reconstructions. A few locations of such happenings include these:

Protective shell: The purpose of this shell is to protect the Sepioteuthis testa from predators and other possible danger. This shell protects their vital organs including the brain, heart, stomach, kidneys, and much more. This protection can save the Sepioteuthis testa from being killed from a blow to their soft skin that covers the organs. The Sepioteuthis testa cuts off the end of the shell so that the shell does not extend to the end of the fish, but cuts off before the fins. This allows the fins to be used to transport the Sepioteuthis testa. Similar to crabs, they must find new shells to protect them as they grow. This shell protects the Sepioteuthis testa, helping them survive.

Their most glorious architectural accomplishment was the cathedral. Cathedrals, made of stone, were only established in rich and powerful cities, because they were very expensive. They boasted the city’s wealth, and demonstrated how important God was to their community. Cathedrals took hundreds of years, and thousands of people to construct. They were shaped like a cross, and were often the tallest building in that city.

Another invention is the Julian Calendar. Evan Andrews says “ Many ancient Roman structures like the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum are still standing today thanks to the development of Roman cement and concrete. The Romans first began building with concrete over 2,100 years ago and used it throughout the Mediterranean basin in everything from aqueducts and buildings to bridges and monuments.” This highlights that many of Rome’s great structures were made out of concrete. Another life changing invention was the Julian Calendar.

Under constant attacks by invaders, the already shrunken empire saw many of its towns destroyed, obliterated or changed. The once bustling open markets, town squares, and theatres were no more.

The Pantheon is from the Romanesque era. Originally, built as a temple for the Romans, it is a massive structure that stands 142 feet tall and was built in 126 AD. Made of marble, yet the dome is not reinforced and is made of concrete. The massive Corinthian style columns really show its roman influence as noted by the motifs of scrolls and leaves. The craftsman ship of the massive building truly amazes me, how did the Romans build this? They surely did not have the tools and equipment we have today. Yet, it still stands!
