Cleveland Bay Breeding Program Anticipates New Additions
The Coach and Livestock Cleveland Bay Breeding Program is happy to announce
the possibility of four foals to be born next year.
Willow and Lord Brigadoon ( aka Clarence) are expecting a boy. With the help of
an embryo transfer process and a donor mare named Fudge, Clarence is expected to
become a first time dad next year. Isabella is also currently in foal from an outside
stallion named Stainmore Wolfhound, and two more embryos from Willow are with
surrogates who may come to our facilities to give birth next year as well. If all goes
well, welcoming four foals next year will make our breeding program one of the
largest in the U.S. for the Cleveland Bay, which is more rare than the Giant Panda.

Safety
You may not see them, but their work is vital
In 1939, The Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation called into action its first
security force. These individuals had
to be expert marksmen and were tested
monthly on their firearms skills. Aided
by a bull mastiff named Rex Colwil,
the team of eight " well- trained law
enforcement officers" directed traffic,
kept an eye out for safety hazards, and
with the permission of the city police
force, served as the enforcers of all
local laws. They were known as the
Restoration Officers.
Today, the task of keeping guests,
employees, and the sites and contents
of Colonial Williamsburg safe is more
complicated.
Since that first security team' s tenure,
efforts to protect the Historic Area have
grown to include employee safety and
other issues, leading to the establishment
of the department of Security and Safety.
In May 2017, this function separated
into the Department of Public Safety
and the Department of Environmental
Health and Safety. Public Safety handles
security duties, while Environmental
Health and Safety concentrates on

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>
