Welsh Icons - News: Legal Graffiti Wall Anniversary Celebration.
Aug 25/09 - Wales - An event to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the opening of the first legal graffiti wall in Caerphilly county borough will take place this Friday. The 'Wreck Jam' event will take place this Friday 28th August at Caerphilly Skate Park, to the rear of Caerphilly Leisure Centre, beginning at 11.30am. In the year since the legal graffiti wall was opened, it has provided people from across the Caerphilly county borough with a place where they can pursue their hobby of graffiti art, but in a completely legal way. It has also helped significantly in reducing the amount of graffiti being sprayed on buildings and other property in Caerphilly town centre and the surrounding area.

Aug 26/09 - Toronto ON - Mike Heaton surveys his park. "Who's the new kid here?" he wants to know. "The kid with the hair." The kid soaring up and down the BMX ramps in checkered shorts, with a helmet over his shoulder-length hair and nothing but a tan on the rest of him. Heaton stops him at the top of a ramp. "I'm the guy that built the park," he says. Anthony Taverniti, a 13-year-old who's just moved to the city from Woodbridge, takes him in: man with a backpack, Nike skate shoes with yellow laces, a few piercings in his left ear. Hair: white. Approximate age: 60. "You built all these ramps?" Anthony asks. "Well, not yesterday," Heaton says. "It's taken us three years to get it up to where it is." "It's beautiful," Anthony says.
