Fire Service FIRST'S:
First Volunteer Fire Company in America
In 1736 in Philadelphia, PA, Benjamin Franklin formed the first volunteer fire company, called the Union Fire Company. Franklin served on it as America's first volunteer fire chief.
First Paid Fire Department in America
A large fire in Boston in 1679, led to the organization of the first paid fire department in North America, if not the world. Boston selectman imported a fire engine from England and employed a fire chief, Thomas Atkins, and 12 fire fighters to operate it.
First Firehouse Pole
David B. Kenyon, Captain of Engine Company No. 21 of the Chicago Fire Department, was the inventor of the sliding pole in 1878. Information from: A Synoptical History of the Chicago Fire Department, published by the Benevolent Association of the Paid Fire Department of Chicago, Chicago, 1908.
First Automatic Sprinkler
The idea of automatic sprinkler protection dates back to about 1860. The first automatic sprinkler system patented in the United States was developed by Philip W. Pratt in 1872 in Abington, MA. From 1852 to 1885, perforated pipe systems were used extensively in textile mills throughout New England, and from 1874 to 1878 Henry S. Parmalee of New Haven, Connecticut, continued design improvements on his invention: the first practical automatic sprinkler head.
First Fire Alarm Telegraph
The fire alarm telegraph was invented by William F. Channing of Boston, MA, and Moses G. Farmer of Salem, MA, in 1847. After many attempts, Channing was successful in getting the city of Boston to agree to test the device. Channing, working with Farmer, tested the system, solved the problems, and installed the first municipal fire alarm system using a telegraph in Boston, MA, in 1852.
In 1893 after citizens of Gallatin expressed the need a volunteer fire company was formed. It consisted of 1 Chief and 10 members operating with 1 engine and 1 hook and ladder wagon. The need was evident due to many building fires in recent years in homes and businesses. Later formally named Gallatin Fire Department.
Prior to the volunteer fire company being organized, homeowners or anyone wanting to help utilized this equipment and the bucket brigades to assist the town and neighbors when a building fire occurred.
Since approximately 1893 the volunteer firemen were paid a small fee for fires attended. Throughout the years there has always been a roster of 10 to 20 firefighters. In the early 1970's through 1995, firefighters received $10 per call and $5 for meetings/trainings attended. From 1995 through 2001, the amount went to $20 per call and $10 for meetings/trainings attended. In 2001, when the Fire District was incorporated all volunteer firefighters voted to cease per call pay and have funds go towards upgrading equipment.
The Gallatin Fire Department purchased its first motorized pumper truck in 1921. It was a 40hp combination motor fire truck with 950 ft. of 2 1/2" hose and 36 ft. of ground ladders.
Later they operated with a 1946 Ford Pumper truck. The Ford Triple Combination Fire Truck was purchased from Central Fire Truck Corp. St Louis, MO and was delivered December 5th, 1945. After a county wide fire district failed to organize, in the mid 1950's, the Gallatin fire force received a 1957 Pumper truck from Towers Fire Apparatus on a 1956 Chevrolet chassis.
In 1972, a brand new "71" Ford Pumper fire truck was delivered from Boardman Fire Trucks. Other additions were received through the Missouri Department of Conservation, both being Army surplus vehicles. A 1967 MASH ambulance was converted into a personnel carrier and firefighting equipment was added. Nicknamed "Ironsides", the vehicle can be used in conjunction with the Community Ambulance Service of Daviess County to provide stretcher aid. A 1956 GMC 6x6 Army vehicle had been fitted with two new aluminum 600 gallon tanks and other gear. So much labor was involved in upgrading the 6x6 that the truck has been nicknamed "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" then later renamed "Snoopy". Gallatin's firefighting equipment and force coupled with the city's water service helped to maintain an insurance rating of eight (8) on the insurance industry's scale of ten. That rating influenced premium costs for residential and commercial businesses within city limits.
In 2001, the Gallatin Fire Protection District was approved by voters, which included a 30 cent tax levy. After the district formed a goal was set to attempt to have the rating reduced for property owners and residents. A survey was requested from ISO to address this goal and finally it had been achieved in 2003. A rating of six (6) was assigned to the City and rural areas of the district were rated as nine (9). In 2015, we were reassigned to 6/6Y.
In Gallatin, there have only been four fire stations throughout history, soon we will have a fifth.
From 1893 to 1926, the first fire station was located in the back of city hall, under the water tower at South Main and Van Buren Street (alley side). A fire destroyed the city hall wood buildings in 1926. A temporary station was then located from 1926-1929 in the northeast corner of the Gallatin Ford Motor Co. at North Main and East Berry (formerly North Street).
In 1929, city hall moved to its current location at 112 E. Grand Street, in the old YMCA building. Fire trucks were housed in the backside with one bay door.
In 1980, fire trucks were moved to their current location at 202 N. Water St. This station has two meeting rooms, two bathrooms, three apparatus bay doors on main level, and four apparatus bay doors in the basement accessed from the backside.
A new fire station project was launched in October 2014, and is currently in progress today. In the past, buildings were adapted to be used to house fire apparatus. This is the first building to be constructed solely as a fire station. The new station, located at 207 S. Market Street has five apparatus bay doors on the west side and two on the north.
When the new fire station is completed, there will be a decommission ceremony held for the current fire station and a commission ceremony will be held, putting the new fire station in service.

It wasn't a great phone call in the moment, but looking back, it might have been one of the most constructive conversations all month.
"Jake, you're not being intentional" (Gives ample amount of evidence).
"You're right, I'm sorry. Thanks for being honest".
Today I am thankful for honest relationships. Even though it hurts sometimes.


Can Anyone Help with a Circle Dance Song that Goes, " Mumbo, hot-toe, mata relay, relay"?
Mumbo, hot-toe mata relay relay roan.
It was a circle dance with one child in the middle, who led verses about imagining you were something and acting it out. All the children would follow the actions of the child in the center. Then they would sing the refrain again.
Are you familiar with this song and know its origin?
I believe it was to have originated in Africa… or some island. We had to wear a long skirt with a short skirt over it (so we looked 2 layered). I have heard the song within the past few years, on the radio in the background of some news report about children and couldn't believe my ears. Would really like to find out more about it.
If you can help with this song, please let us know in the comments below.

You're right Bridget, there are different titles for it, we have it on Mama Lisa's World Spain page as Mambó ató and it originated in France as Ah, mon beau château as far as we know.
Thank you Lisa, Bridget and Monique! Since I'm now 63, my memory of what we sang in Kindergarten is a bit distorted. But I did listen to the MP3 link and that is the song! Wow! After all these years. Thanks again.


Wayne Boodram worked as a taxi driver for 12 years, he eventually retired from a taxi driver to manage his poultry depot. He has been able to construct his own home and purchase a vehicle from his business. The client has had 7 loan facilities with MIPED ranging from $10,000.00 to $65,000.00.
Wayne acknowledged MIPED as "the easiest place to get a loan" and also acknowledged the high quality service he received from the staff. He commended MIPED for obtaining loan insurance for the clients.
The Ministry of Health brought new regulations for the poultry industry and Wayne came back to MIPED for a loan to upgrade his depot to meet the new standards.

Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award: Doris Day & Danielle Darrieux among Honorary Oscar non-recipients
(See previous post: "Honorary Oscars Bypass Women: Greta Garbo & Angela Lansbury Among Rare Exceptions.") Those who have read my Alt Film Guide posts are aware that I'm no fan of political correctness. But looking at the Honorary Oscar figures discussed in part one of this article, I'd say that (anti-female) sexism is the only plausible explanation for them, as one of the characteristics of male (or male-oriented) chauvinism is the perception that women's issues – whether in life or on screen – carry less importance than those of men.
Women in the film industry certainly haven't been bypassed because the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Board of Governors have been unable to find qualified female candidates. Among women film veterans – in Hollywood or elsewhere – with at least 35 years[1] in the business (i.e., from 1979 onwards) and who have yet to receive an Honorary Oscar for their body of work are the following actresses:
Danielle Darrieux (a movie star for nearly eight decades). Doris Day. Michèle Morgan. Eva Marie Saint. Catherine Deneuve. Vanessa Redgrave. Debbie Reynolds. Actress-director Jeanne Moreau. Joanne Woodward.
Micheline Presle (more than 75 years in movies; her latest film, the short Je montrerai mes seins, was screened in 2014). Actress-director Liv Ullmann. Gina Lollobrigida. Claudia Cardinale. Kim Novak. Mia Farrow.
Actress-director Monica Vitti. Isabelle Huppert. Julie Christie. Irene Papas. Jane Alexander. Hanna Schygulla. Gena Rowlands (update: 2015 recipient). Valentina Cortese. Goldie Hawn. Julie Andrews.
Doris Day: Honorary Oscar snub
Of the aforementioned Honorary Oscar non-winners, Doris Day, nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award for Michael Gordon's 1959 romantic comedy hit Pillow Talk, is a particularly interesting case.[2] After all, Day remains a major celebrity. And that is undoubtedly a consideration in the Board of Governors' selection of most of the Academy's past Honorary Oscar winners, especially when the award was presented at the televised Oscar ceremony itself.[3]
According to one Academy insider, Doris Day has in fact been contemplated for an Honorary Award, but the "official" top female domestic box office draw of the '50s and '60s declined the Academy's invitation to show up at the ceremony.
Now, since Jean-Luc Godard didn't bother picking up his Honorary Oscar at the 2010 Governors Awards, while the following year honoree James Earl Jones was busy playing opposite Vanessa Redgrave in Driving Miss Daisy on the London stage, it's impossible to understand why the Academy would be unwilling to honor Doris Day in absentia.
As it stands, Doris Day, who turned 91 (or 93, according to some sources) in April 2015, remains Honorary Oscar-less. And despite her charity work and ardent support for animal rights, she remains Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award-less as well.
"Doris Day Today."
"Doris Day Movies."
"A Letter from Doris Day: AIDS LifeCycle and Remembering Rock Hudson."
Claire Bloom in 'Clash of the Titans': She went from Charles Chaplin to Shakespeare and Ibsen.
Charlotte Ramping, Claire Bloom: More women bypassed for the Honorary Oscar
In varying degrees of international prestige and movie-career longevity, among Honorary Oscar-less actresses, one could also add the following:
Emmanuelle Riva. Claire Bloom. Isabelle Adjani. Bibi Andersson. Charlotte Rampling. Leslie Caron. Susan Sarandon. Shirley MacLaine. Marsha Hunt.
Bette Midler. Faye Dunaway. Sarah Miles. Anouk Aimée. Sissy Spacek. Diane Keaton. Cloris Leachman. Ann-Margret. Piper Laurie. Stéphane Audran.
Carmen Maura. Geraldine Chaplin. Carroll Baker. Barbara Hershey. Joan Plowright. Sigourney Weaver. Marsha Mason. Ellen Burstyn. Debra Winger.[4]
A few more names, in various capacities:
Producers Margaret Ménégoz (mentioned in the previous post) and Kathleen Kennedy.
Actress-directors (and sometimes producers) Barbra Streisand and Lee Grant.
Directors Agnès Varda, Catherine Breillat, Barbara Hammer, Margarethe von Trotta, and Lina Wertmüller.
Editor Anne V. Coates (Lawrence of Arabia, The Elephant Man).
Screenwriter Harriet Frank Jr. (Hud, Norma Rae).
Shortening the cut-off date a bit, one could add:
Six-time Academy Award-nominated actress Glenn Close, whose first feature film, George Roy Hill's The World According to Garp, was released in 1982.
1986 Best Actress Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner (Peggy Sue Got Married), whose film career began with Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat in 1981.
Julie Andrews, Eva Marie Saint: Oscars decades ago
Some of the women listed above won a single Oscar decades ago.[5] Examples include:[6]
Eva Marie Saint for Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954).
Julie Andrews for Robert Stevenson's Mary Poppins (1964).
Julie Christie for John Schlesinger's Darling (1965).
Goldie Hawn for Gene Saks' Cactus Flower (1969).
Shirley MacLaine for James L. Brooks' Terms of Endearment (1983).
Piper Laurie: Three-time Oscar nominee.
Besides Doris Day, others have been nominated, whether once or multiples times, without ever winning a competitive Academy Award. Examples include:
Three-time nominee Piper Laurie.
Four-time nominees Jane Alexander and Marsha Mason.
Carroll Baker, one of the earliest surviving Best Actress Oscar nominees (Baby Doll, 1956).
Lina Wertmüller, the first woman shortlisted for the Best Director Oscar (Seven Beauties, 1976).
Many others have never even been nominated, e.g., Danielle Darrieux, Isabelle Huppert, Claire Bloom, Carmen Maura, Michèle Morgan, Mia Farrow, Agnès Varda.
Two-time winners excluded
Left out of the list of Honorary Oscar-less women were actresses Luise Rainer, Olivia de Havilland, Maggie Smith, Glenda Jackson, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, and Jessica Lange, as each one of them has already won two or more (Streep has three) Academy Awards in the acting categories. (Update: Luise Rainer died in Dec. 2014.)
Additionally, Barbara Kopple and Thelma Schoonmaker have each already won more than one Oscar in the same category: Kopple has two wins for Best Documentary Feature, while Schoonmaker has three for Best Film Editing.
Only someone like filmmaker Elia Kazan, i.e., with friends in high places at the Academy, can have two Oscar wins in a specific category – Best Director for Gentleman's Agreement (1947) and On the Waterfront (1954) – and still be allowed to get a third statuette for career achievement.[7]
Barbra Streisand, I should note, has also won two Academy Awards: her first Oscar was for Best Actress in William Wyler's 1968 Fanny Brice biopic Funny Girl (Streisand tied with Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter), while the second was as co-composer (with Paul Williams) of the song "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born. Hence, actress-director-producer (and songwriter) Barbra Streisand's inclusion on the list.

Danielle Darrieux and the elusive Honorary Oscar.
Honorary Oscar article notes
[1] Male Honorary Oscar recipients oftentimes don't have too wait all that long to get Academy recognition.
Steve Martin was given an Honorary Oscar in 2013. Martin's feature film career began in earnest 34 years earlier, with Carl Reiner's 1979 hit comedy The Jerk (released two years after Carl Gottlieb's Oscar-nominated comedy short The Absent-Minded Waiter, written by Martin).
1985 Honorary Oscar winner Paul Newman's first film was released 31 years prior to his Academy honor: Victor Saville's widely derided post-biblical drama The Silver Chalice. Eddie Cantor had to wait 27 years from the time his Hollywood career truly kicked off following the 1930 release of the Samuel Goldwyn musical Whoopee!.
Two-time Best Actor winner Gary Cooper had been making movies for 36 years when he received his Honorary Award. (In place of the ailing Cooper, James Stewart picked up the statuette.) Orson Welles had been around for 29 years (32 years, if one includes the experimental Too Much Johnson). Ernst Lubitsch, who began his film career in Germany, had to hang around for 33 years overall and for 24 years since his Hollywood debut.
Several Honorary Oscar winners, however, didn't have to wait nearly as long.
Honorary Oscar super-fast lane: Gene Kelly was handed an Honorary Oscar in 1952, a decade after his first film, For Me and My Gal. (Directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Kelly in the title role, the musical An American in Paris was 1952's surprise Best Picture Oscar winner.)
Also after having been in Hollywood for only ten years, Danny Kaye received an Honorary Oscar in 1954 (not only for "his service to the Academy," but also "for his unique talents"), while in 1949 Fred Astaire took home his career-achievement statuette after having been in movies a mere sixteen years.
Most women had to wait (a lot) longer for their Honorary Oscar
For comparison's sake: Greta Garbo was named a 1955 Honorary Award recipient 33 years after her feature film debut and 29 years after her Hollywood debut. For women, that's as brief a wait as it got.
Sophia Loren had to wait 40 years for her Honorary Oscar. Margaret Booth, Barbara Stanwyck, Deborah Kerr, and Gena Rowlands more than half a century. Lillian Gish nearly six decades. Mary Pickford, Myrna Loy, and Lauren Bacall had to wait more than six decades. Angela Lansbury 69 years from the time of her film debut (Gaslight, 1944). And Maureen O'Hara more than 75 years.
Doris Day movies
[2] Besides Pillow Talk, co-starring Rock Hudson, Doris Day film credits include:
Michael Curtiz's Young Man with a Horn (1950), with Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall.
David Butler's Calamity Jane (1953), with Howard Keel.
Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), with James Stewart.
Delbert Mann's Lover Come Back (1961), with Rock Hudson and Tony Randall.
Delbert Mann's That Touch of Mink, with Cary Grant (1962).
Norman Jewison's The Thrill of It All, with James Garner and Arlene Francis (1963).
Honorary Oscar: Timing an issue
[3] Regarding the timing of the Board of Governors' Honorary Oscar selections, here's one example: Alec Guinness was handed an Honorary Award at the 1980 ceremony. Three years earlier, the 1957 Best Actor Oscar winner (for David Lean's World War II action-drama The Bridge on the River Kwai) had been featured in George Lucas' mega-blockbuster Star Wars, which earned him a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination.
The year he won his Honorary Oscar, Guinness was back on the big screen in another blockbuster, the Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back and in the costly box office bomb Raise the Titanic.
Laurence Olivier, for his part, was handed an Honorary Oscar in 1979, the year he received his tenth – and last – nomination in the acting categories, as Best Actor for Franklin J. Schaffner's The Boys from Brazil (1978).
Timing of a different sort – ill health/encroaching death – resulted in Honorary Oscars for Gary Cooper (1961 ceremony), Edward G. Robinson (1973, by then posthumously), and Satyajit Ray (1992).
Stefania Sandrelli: From sexpot to – half a century later – multiple award-winning actress.
More Honorary Award-less actresses
[4] A few more actresses (30 years or longer in films), of varying degrees of international prestige/career longevity, that could be added to the Honorary Oscar-less list:
Stefania Sandrelli. Liza Minnelli. Dominique Sanda. Dorothy Malone. Tuesday Weld. Machiko Kyo. Glynis Johns. Anna Karina. Ann Blyth, who trails Angela Lansbury for the title of earliest surviving Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee (Mildred Pierce, 1945).
Jane Birkin. Jane Powell. Norma Aleandro. Senta Berger. Silvia Pinal. Jacqueline Bisset. Geneviève Bujold. Anjelica Huston. Michelle Pfeiffer. Joan Allen. "Mexico's Sweetheart" Lupita Tovar, who turned 105 years old on July 27, '15.
Cicely Tyson. Judy Davis. Laura Dern. Melanie Griffith. Julie Walters. Carol Kane. Whoopi Goldberg. Samantha Eggar. Mary Steenburgen. Diane Lane. Miou-Miou. Sharon Stone. Miranda Richardson.
Joan Leslie had also been included on the list; she died in Oct. 2015.
Honorary Oscar: Previous winners in the competitive categories
[5] Besides two-time winners Elia Kazan and Gary Cooper, several individuals took home at least one competitive Academy Award prior to receiving an Honorary Oscar.
Among them: Mary Pickford, Laurence Olivier, James Stewart, Sophia Loren, Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford, Alec Guinness, and 2014 recipient Hayao Miyazaki.
Helen Mirren and Judi Dench
[6] Helen Mirren and Judi Dench were left out of the list because the former won a Best Actress Oscar less than a decade ago (for Stephen Frears' The Queen, 2006), while the latter – a Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner for John Madden's Shakespeare in Love (1998) – became a de facto film actress only in the mid-'80s, or less than three decades ago.
[7] Another two-time Academy Award winner who also received an Honorary Oscar was Gary Cooper.
That was clearly a sentimental gesture on the part of the Academy, as the Best Actor winner for Howard Hawks' Sergeant York (1941) and Fred Zinnemann's High Noon (1952) was dying of cancer at the time of his 1961 honor.

Doris Day was such a huge, box-office star for years, and still to this day is so loved and so popular, it's about time to recognize her long career with an honorary Oscar. If she doesn't wish to travel to receive it, so be it. It can be given in absentia. Or—she can be filmed from home. Hurry, before it's too late. She should also be recognized for the great work she has done in the field of animal welfare. Hollywood would be honoring itself in honoring Doris Day, a great star and a great human being.
Marta Fiorentino -
Yes: Gina Lollobrigida is a terrific actress. Her directors: John Huston, King Vidor, Robert
Mulligan, Robert Siodmak, Luigi Comencini, Vittorio de Sica, Christian Jacque, Rene Clair,
Luigi Zampa, Jean Delannoy, Alessandro Blasetti, John Sturges, Jules Dassin, Melvin Frank, Jerzy Skolimowsky…
Yes: Danielle Darrieux, Michelle Morgan, Carmen Maura, Norma Aleandro…
Van Cockcroft -
Good, comprehensive list, except that here's a "no" vote for both Mia Farrow and Goldie Hawn.
Kelly -
With all due sincere respect, I really don't understand the point of your article. Maureen O'Hara was announced as the recipient weeks ago, so I'm not sure why you were expecting Doris Day to join her this year?
I agree however that Day deserves it more than anyone else (including O'Hara) listed in your article. She was not only a very underrated actress and great singer, but could dance as well as Ginger Rogers (if not better), something that is unknown by even many of her fans.
I also agree that Danielle Darrieux should be on the list, and perhaps even Julie Andrews and perhaps Shirley MacLaine. Debbie Reynolds, while also extremely multitalented and beloved, when it comes to movies, really owes her career to one film (Singin' in the Rain'). It could be argued that she deserves a humanitarian award for her attempt at preserving film via her massive collection of movie memorabilia and costumes, but for the most part, her career for the last 4 decades has been on the stage and in Las Vegas. Susan Sarandon deserves an Honorary Oscar, but probably won't be nominated for another 10 years, unless of course she wins one for a performance before then.
I'm frankly puzzled by many of the others you have mentioned as those deserving of consideration, especially…Marsha Hunt, Gina Lollobrigida, Kim Novak, Goldie Hawn, Leslie Caron, Claudia Cardinale, Bette Midler, Ann-Margret, Ann Blyth, Liza Minnelli, Joan Leslie, Jane Powell, and Dorothy Malone.
These are all wonderful women, beloved by their fans (including myself), and some with long careers. Some of these have given fantastic performances in a famous film or two, but that's about it.
And again, with all due respect, we'll have to totally agree to disagree when it comes to Kim Novak, who I consider to be one of the most beautiful but inept actresses in the history of film. I would argue that she would be completely forgotten were it not for her luck in being cast in Vertigo, and that had she not been cast, the film would've been even more of a classic than it is today. I know I'm probably in the minority on that one, considering Vertigo is on most critic's Top Ten lists. I can only imagine how much better it would've been with almost anyone other than Novak in the role.
And of course I mean no disrespect towards Ms. Novak, the person. Just don't think she is deserving to be on any sort of list when it comes to Oscar consideration.
p.s. Danny Kaye's Honorary Oscar in '54 (or any year)? Totally undeserved, IMO. :)

Just one minor clarification: Nowhere do I say that Doris Day should be honored this year. My point is that, in the last eight-odd decades, Day – along with a number of other deserving women (many of whom are now dead) – have been bypassed for the Honorary Oscars. (As indicated in the title, this is part two of a three-part article.)
Terry Nelson -
If there is one person who should have been rewarded a Honory Oscar it would be Rita Hayworth. Since she died millions of dollars in her name have been given to help research Alzheimers Disease, and her daughter Princess Yasmin should be there to recieve it in her mothers name.

Le Lycée Claudel d'Ottawa est un établissement privé francophone à but non lucratif fondé en 1962. Il se situe 1635 promenade Riverside à Ottawa (Canada) et porte le nom du célèbre dramaturge français Paul Claudel, frère de la sculptrice Camille Claudel.

C'est un établissement homologué par le Ministère de l'Éducation nationale français et conventionné par l'Agence pour l'Enseignement du Français à l'Étranger (AEFE).

Les cours sont dispensés en français (excepté les cours de langue) par des professeurs français et par des enseignants qualifiés recrutés localement.

Si à son ouverture l'établissement ne comptait que 24 élèves, il accueille aujourd'hui  de plus de 50 nationalités différentes, de la petite section maternelle (dès 3 ans) à la Terminale, avec une moyenne de 22 élèves par classe (maximum 22 élèves au primaire et 30 au secondaire)

Une entente avec l'Université d'Ottawa permet aux diplômés de faire reconnaître certains cours en deuxième année.

Historique et contexte
En 1912, le gouvernement Witheney adopte une directive appelée Règlement XVII, laquelle fait de l'anglais l'unique langue d'enseignement en Ontario. Les enseignants francophones, qui contestent cette directive ou qui ne sont pas en mesure de dispenser leurs cours en anglais, sont alors poussés à la démission.

S'ensuit une période de lutte et de résistance civile de la part des francophones de l'Ontario. En 1927, le gouvernement ontarien est alors contraint de faire marche arrière et accepte que le français soit dorénavant la langue principale d'enseignement des écoles franco-ontariennes. Bien que non appliqué à partir de 1927, le règlement XVII ne sera légalement abrogé qu'en 1944.

C'est dans ce contexte qu'est créé, au centre-ville d'Ottawa, le cours Claudel par le Dr Gaston Sauvé.

Après avoir connu différentes adresses, le lycée Claudel s'installe définitivement en 1972 dans ses locaux actuels.

De 2008 à 2010, l'établissement connait une période de complète rénovation pour un coût de 20 millions de dollars. Outre de nouvelles salles de classes, sont notamment créés une nouvelle bibliothèque ainsi qu'un amphithéâtre de 400 places avec une scène professionnelle.

Organisation
Le lycée français d'Ottawa a la particularité de permettre aux élèves de poursuivre leur scolarité depuis l'école maternelle jusqu'à la fin des études secondaires (classe de Terminale), soit de l'âge de 2 ans et demi à l'âge de 18 ans.

École primaire

École maternelle
Le niveau Maternelle se divise en trois section : petite section, moyenne section et grande section.

L'école maternelle est une originalité française qui permet d'accueillir les enfants dès le plus jeune âge (3 ans). Il ne s'agit pas d'une garderie, mais d'une école à part entière, avec des objectifs pédagogiques précis et des locaux adaptés.

École élémentaire
L'école élémentaire accueille les enfants dès l'âge de 6 ans. C'est là que sont entre autres enseignés les savoirs fondamentaux comme la lecture, l'écriture et le calcul.

Le secondaire
Le niveau secondaire accueille les élèves de l'âge de 11 ans à l'âge de 18 ans. Il comprend une  partie collège (de la classe de  à la classe de ) ainsi  qu'une partie lycée (de la classe de seconde à la classe de terminale)

Le collège
Le collège accueille les élèves à l'issue de leur cursus à l'école primaire.

On y enseigne les mathématiques, le français, l'histoire-géographie, Les sciences de la vie de la terre (SVT), la physique-chimie, la technologie, l'éducation physique et sportive (EPS), la musique, les arts plastiques ainsi que deux langues vivantes (anglais et espagnol) ainsi que le latin.

Au terme de la classe de , un examen, le Diplôme national du brevet (DNB) atteste des connaissances et compétences acquises.

Le lycée
En fin de classe de terminale, l'examen du baccalauréat sanctionne la fin des études secondaires.

Trois filières sont proposées au Lycée français d'Ottawa :
 filière scientifique (S)
 filière littéraire (L)
 filière sciences économiques et sociales (ES)
Aux matières déjà enseignées au Collège, viennent s'ajouter la philosophie et les sciences économiques et sociales. Plusieurs options sont par ailleurs proposées (musique, latin, cinéma audiovisuel, spécialité mathématiques, spécialité sciences de la vie de la terre, spécialité sciences physiques-chimie)

Clubs et autres activités
En dehors des heures de cours, des activités péri-scolaires sont proposées aux élèves :
 Sciences et découverte : échecs, robotique, initiation à la magie, club des débrouillards
 Langues : anglais, espagnol, arabe
 Arts : théâtre, photographie, bande dessinée, arts plastiques, bricolage, éveil artistique)
 Sport : yoga, cirque, danses du monde, éveil corporel, initiation au hip hop.
 Musique : piano, enseignement de la musique et du solfège, glee club, guitare, ukulélé, violon.
En outre, l'association sportive de l'établissement propose diverses activités :
 badminton
 football
 volley ball
 Basket ball

Transport
La situation géographique centrale du Lycée Claudel et sa proximité des grands axes de circulation facilitent son accès.

Un service de transport scolaire est proposé pour les élèves de la maternelle moyenne section à la classe de .

En outre, le  lycée est directement desservi par plusieurs lignes de bus régionales (OC Transpo et STO). Un arrêt baptisé Lycée Claudel se situe face à l'établissement.

Anciens élèves
 Mélanie Robillard, joueuse professionnelle internationale de Curling ;
 Justin Trudeau, Premier ministre du Canada depuis 2015, a été scolarisé au lycée Claudel pendant un an (1983-1984) ;

not Edinburgh, sadly.
[Originally posted in the Strange/unexpected Moz references? thread]
í don't know how strange or unexpected this reference is, given the individuals involved, but í may as well post it here as anywhere.
In the current issue {No.10 ~ Winter 2017} of "The Happy Reader" magazine, 'National Treasure' Jarvis Cocker is the cover star and subject of a 26 page feature interview by 'Poet' Simon Armitage.
About half-way through this epic encounter, Armitage asks if we can ever expect to read 'Jarvis: My Story'. {The answer is yes. kinda.} But as part of the ensuing chat, Armitage asks, 'Did you read Morrissey's autobiography?'
JC: I got sent it. I read the first two or three pages. I found the style grated on me. The present tense thing. I've only really properly met him once, in an airport waiting to fly to Dublin. We recognised each other, and we were in this tiny little space so we had to talk to each other, and I really liked him. He was funny and just had an interesting manner about him.
Elsewhere, it's an excellent, interesting, stimulating interview {with an appendix of JC's recommended bed-time reading} and lovely portraits by the god-like Alasdair McLellan. Conducted in two sessions, pre & post summer last year, first in Cocker's Paris flat, second in The London Library on St James's Square.
It was a stimulating read on a couple of levels.
There are people that í know, or have known, that would wish with all their hearts that Morrissey was doing exactly this kind of piece, and occupying the kind of cultural cranny that Cocker cosily inhabits. {The Guardian thought they were on to a winner when they hooked Armitage up with Moz in 2010; and look how that turned out}. And í kind of get that wish.
But then, there was a rather sad line in the interview, when Jarvis says, "But I became aware that no-one was waiting with their tongue out for me to make an album". He's a Pop Star, with no Pop.
Or as the magazine intro puts it he is a 'British Cultural icon...an old college room-mate they'd clearly like to re-connect with'.

I sometimes get the impression Morrissey thinks this IS the cultural cranny he occupies; or at least, that's the spot he's aiming for, but he can't quite fathom why it's been denied him. And you're right, I do wish he would do this kind of stuff, but you and I both know he would find a way to screw it up so that he got more headlines out of it.

Love Jarvis and love pulp but i didn't love his solo albums to be honest. Sounds like a nice article
A good interview, some excellent photos, and a fascinating point from Joe regarding the relative cultural status of Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker now. He was always, in a way, a pretender to the Morrissey throne – indeed, Morrissey once declared that 'the problem with Jarvis Cocker is that he isn't me', and in a way it is true - the songs of Pulp were never the equal of The Smiths, and Morrissey's highest achievements as a solo artist surpass Cocker's also.
Cocker's coyness regarding Morrissey here is a little strange - as if he were not all that familiar with his work, as he surely must be.
It does indeed remind one (and I don't mean this in a merely critical way) how genuinely peculiar and perplexing Morrissey's life and career has been since 1987...
Any chance of some scans of the Cocker articles (the words, not just the pics)??

As an aside, is the magazine any good as I almost took out a subscription when it first launched?
Looks fairly cheap for a mag so might take out a sub on a whim.

still wondering how a books writing style can grate when you have only read a couple of pages,maybe it was the streets upon streets bit that ruined it for him.

I get what he means. No chapters, mangled syntax, intensely florid language, and the second paragraph doesn't start until page 9. I wasn't sure I could persevere with it myself, although I did, and enjoyed it in the end.
Peppermint said: ↑
your not going to see any chapters in a book when your only two pages in,maybe he got the books mixed up and it was LIST OF THE LOST he was reading,
Well, yes, that could explain the grating. Not chapters, maybe, but it's not unreasonable to expect paragraphs.
not a reader of books pep so I will bow to your superior knowledge.
To think Moz would want to be anyway like Jarvis and have his space in British culture is to wholly miss the point of Moz. Moz was getting shoe honed into the media friendly eccentric role , he chose not to go down that route . He could have had what Jarvis has at any time , he still could. Jarvis can never have what Moz has
He rightly saw that its fake ,pretend "look at me in my red shoes my plastic bags with with packed lunch in " its so forced .

It is the dogs bollocks Stan II, as they say around Bloomsbury.
Interviews are thrillingly long & thoughtful, and the articles are always surprising and unexpected.
In this one, after Jarvis you get a member of Pussy Riot on bedtime reading in a Russian prison, an explanation of how to get stains out of a 300 year old christening gown, a recipe for bread and Will Self's sex-life.
And it smells divine.
Following this up, it's a shame of course that whilst Jarvis is doing these odd little things around the place - on BBC Radio 6 Music, in the art world, with Faber and Faber and so on, Morrissey is increasingly regarded by the public in the same manner that, say, John Lydon is - a kind of caricature troll figure who is wheeled out by the middle-aged Smiths-loving journalists at The Guardian every few months when he says something silly.
I'm not one of those who hate everything that Morrissey has done recently, but the man who complains about the 'propaganda' of the 'mainstream media' and the 'cow' that knows more than a wife is such a long way from the arch, ironic Alan Bennett/Victoria Wood/Shelagh Delaney loving figure we once knew. It reminds me of something Will Self once wrote: 'The day of reckoning for Morrissey will be when he allows his sense of humour to catch up with his irony.'
Perhaps so.
But í do believe that Morrissey is a genuine 'outsider' in a way that Le Cocker thinks he is, but actually isn't. He is a stylist's notion of an 'outsider'. {Co-incidentally, the mother of his son is...a fashion stylist}.
For good or ill {M.'s and ours} he is never gonna fit comfortably anywhere, no matter the cranny.
A fate sometimes of his own making, sometimes of other's.
He didn't belong in The Smiths.
He's the congenital awkward bugger.
Almost worth it for Will Self's sex life alone, I should think.
I don't find Jarvis forced or fake, but then I don't know him. I do think he is more in touch with normal life than Morrissey, though. so from that point alone, I don't think Morrissey could do the things he does. I think he's better educated, for a start; I can't see Morrissey being a commissioning editor at Faber & Faber, his last book was unintelligible garbage. Jarvis also went on Question Time to publicly state/defend his views, something Morrissey has allegedly been asked to do many times and always chickened out of.
I've always found Jarvis quite authentic, but maybe there's something I'm not seeing. You're right about the awkward bugger, though
Gotta agree

Response of an elastic plate with a constrained interior point under the effect of grazing sound
Sapkale, Swapnil L and M S, Mahesh and Gupta, Shakti S (2016) Response of an elastic plate with a constrained interior point under the effect of grazing sound. In: 6th International Congress on Computational Mechanics and Simulation, 27 June - 1 July 2016, IIT Bombay, Powai, Maharashtra, India.
The design of aerospace vehicles involves the challenging task of designing thin panels that can withstand severe unsteady pressure and acoustic loads. One of the problems frequently faced by the panels is the acoustic fatigue and aeroelastic problem which was neglected during earlier days, but caused serious structural damages and reduced the service life of aircrafts significantly. A theoretical model of the response of a point constrained thin elastic plate to acoustic loading at grazing incidence in a rectangular duct is presented in this paper. The theoretical model includes the combined effect of the incident harmonic plane waves travelling in the duct and the scattered acoustic radiation generated by the vibrating plate. The fluid structure interaction of the plate has been studied through a modal expansion of the relevant eigenmodes, and the acoustic radiation induced by the plate has been computed using Doak's theory. As an additional effort to reduce acoustic fatigue, the effect of mode localization technique is also studied in this paper. Mode localization is the confinement of vibration energy in a localized region in mechanical system. This modification reduces the plate response amplitude furthermore, which enhances the fatigue life of the aircraft panels.

Lacey takes lead in DA race
June 6, 2012 By Veronica Villafañe Leave a Comment
Tuesday night's election gave Leimert Park native and Chief Deputy District Attorney Jackie Lacey the lead in the race for Los Angeles District Attorney. She will be facing Deputy District Attorney Alan Jackson in the November runoff to replace Steve Cooley when he retires.
Lacey got 203,889 votes or 31.9 per cent of the votes, while Jackson picked up 151,199 votes — 23.6 per cent.
L.A. City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, who had the most name recognition and had raised the most money – more than $1.1 million in campaign funds – came in third with 142,576 votes, or 22.3 percent, so he's out of the race.
Lacey was one of five current county prosecutors running to replace Cooley, but she was the only one with his endorsement. She was also endorsed by the Los Angeles Times and City Councilman Bernard Parks.
This morning on her Facebook election page her message was simply "WE DID IT," along with a graph showing her in the lead.
In a statement, Jackson called the election results a victory over Trutanich, "a politician who was more concerned about winning the next office instead of winning the next case. We were outraised, outspent and outsized by the City Attorney, yet we prevailed because voters clearly want a modern prosecutor not a politician. We look forward to November where voters will once again have a choice to elect a modern prosecutor to lead the District Attorney's office."
