This is a reproduction from the November 6, 1957 Open House and Dedication of a new Seeley Lake Elementary School that replaced this one. The building built in 1957, with some additions, looked pretty much the same until a couple years ago when the school was again remodeled and expanded.
Butch Townsend during a recent visit to the original Placid Lake school building, two miles west of Placid Lake on the road to Jocko Lake. Butch visited the school with Donna Love who was researching history of schools in the area. Butch went to this Placid Lake school from third grade to eighth grade.
Butch Townsend attended school here in the early 1920's.
The first schools in the area were at Placid Lake and Condon. Historical information assembled in 1961 by the Seeley Lake Parent Teacher Association (PTA)** places their start in 1905, 97 years ago.
These Historical Archives list the Board of Trustees for the Swan Valley School in Condon as Charles Hammons, Otis Avery, and Issac Sears.
School in Condon that first winter was sixty days long. Seven children were enrolled. The salary for one teacher was $75 a month. By 1909 the salary had risen to $90 a month.
It's amazing that teachers even came to the area. A one way trip to Missoula by horse and buggy took five days.
In 1916 a new school district to the south separated from the Swan Valley District when an election on May 29, "was held to locate a new school." The voters bonded the new district for $2500 to build and equip the school. Seeley Lake School District #34 was born.
The new district's Board of Trustees were Myrtle Swanson and "Mrs. Burleson." The first teacher was Elizabeth Chandler. Five months of school were held.
Between 1919 and 1922 the teachers were Ruby Harding and "Mrs. M. Swanson." Together they taught 12 children.
Mrs. Townsend recalls that during her first grade year she and her mother and siblings moved into Seeley so the children could attend school. They stayed in a tarpaper shack located near where the Emily A Bed and Breakfast now stands.
The next year Mrs. Townsend, and a sister and brother boarded in town to attend school while her father, Irvine Sperry, lobbied hard with the state for a teacher to return to Placid Lake.
The state said they needed three children to warrant a teacher. With three of the eleven Sperry children now in school they were able to have a teacher in 1923.
At Placid Lake the Sperry children walked to school when the weather was nice. If it was cold they rode their horse. When they got to the school they turned the horse loose so it could return home.
In the fall they watched Indians on horseback pass by the school on their way from the Jocko to their hunting grounds in what is now the Bob Marshal Wilderness.
Through the winter it was the family's job to keep the school and teacherage (where the teacher lived) heated. The children chopped wood, delivered it in a horse drawn sleigh and stored it in the woodshed.
In Seeley Lake in the 1920's teachers only taught for one or two years. School board trustees changed often, too, but familiar names dot the rosters including Vessey, Maloney, Ostermeyer and Sperry.
The Archives in 1922-25 state that the "Difference of the location of the school brought on blowing up of a well and was there a fire started!" It does not state where this occurred.
In the late 20's automobiles began to impact the community. The first service station in Seeley Lake opened in 1928. It was recorded that the late Herbert Townsend (Mrs. Townsend's husband) recalled that the first "dozer" was used on the roads in 1932 when there were 15 children in school.
In 1935, 21 children were enrolled in Seeley Lake. Leon "Bud" Anderson, a student then, recalls that the school was located at "Headquarters," an abandoned ACM (Anaconda Copper Mining Company) camp on S.O.S. Road.
In 1936 the school moved again this time to four miles north of town on the west side of Highway 83.
Another ACM building was added to the site. It was painted red and served as the "teacherage" and as a supplementary classroom.
This site became the school grounds until 1957. Today, the school and teacherage are still at this site north of town where it is being used as a residence.
With the school finally settled, a community member was hired to "collect children" and at the same time "deliver water" to the school for $25 a month. The teacher was to "note" the days that the children and water were not delivered.
In 1937 the school year increased from eight to nine months. Children riding their horses to school caused a great deal of concern. It was decided that the school would keep the barn repaired, the PTA would paint it, but the children riding the horses would clean it.
A 1939 school operating budget included $8 a month to rent the teacherage, $24 for the purchase of a Simmons twin bed and box springs for the treacherage, $49 for a Rand McNally Globe and dictionary, $1 for a softball, $1.60 for a school bell and 35 cents for a thermometer.
In 1940, the number of children in Seeley Lake stood at 41, but WWII greatly impacted the enrollment. In 1941 only 28 children attended. By 1945 enrollment dropped to 10.
After the war things began to look up. In 1945 12 children attended school and the first PTA formed.
The PTA accomplishments during its first year included purchasing curtains for the teacherage, food for Play Day and three phonograph records.
The next year the PTA purchased a phonograph player and bought four dozen cups and spoons for the school.
Around this same time the school board began to discuss purchasing a bus because "about 10 children" came "5 to 7 miles" to attend. The one they bought cost $1510.
The war brought a demand for timber. Several small sawmills dotted the valley in the late forty's. Gray's Mill, north of Seeley Lake and the largest mill in the valley, opened in 1946.
In 1948 the student enrollment grew to 31. The PTA purchased a loud speaker for the phonograph so all the students could hear.
In 1949 a slide was purchased for the playground along with Pinochle decks to be used "for fund raising." A telephone was installed in the teacherage for emergencies.
J&M Lumber, later called Pyramid Mountain Lumber Company opened in June of 1949 when the student enrollment stood at 33.
In the 1950-51 school year the school enrollment exploded to 52.
Combined efforts of government and industry "succeeded in getting the infested trees cut, processed and marketed." Many new jobs were created and families soon followed.
To make room for the expanding enrollment the PTA fixed up a horse "barn" and added it to the existing building.
Great discussion commenced about the need for a new school, but some of the school board and town folks called the children "transients." They thought Seeley Lake would soon be back to its own one room school.
In 1951 the Supervisor of the Lolo National Forest came to the temporary rescue by donating another CCC building at the Seeley Lake Ranger Station to the District.
It was added to the school along with the old frame building and the horse barn.
The new "old building" lacked electricity and needed "lights." Over the next two years the school board and PTA worked together to bring light to the school. Gas lamps were the answer.
Mike Williams, a Seeley Lake resident attended school during those crowded years starting with first grade in 1952 when 57 children were enrolled.
In his fourth grade year the third and fourth grade classes attended school in what is now part of the Mountain Lakes Presbyterian Church.
Known as the "Parish House" it too was a CCC structure that was donated by the Forest Service. It had been the smokejumper's chute packing shed.
Williams recalls that his class was so unruly they went through "five or six" teachers that year. When a male teacher was hired things settled down.
With school being held in a number of places in 1953 the school board began to seriously discuss the need for a new school. Mrs. Ann Gray gave a report to the board that the amount of money the district could bond for the school was "$52,000 to $61,000.
In 1954 school enrollment jumped to 94. That same year a high school bus began making its daily trip to Missoula. The bus ride was "the longest [school] bus ride in the state." It was 138 miles roundtrip.
*The song, School Days, School Days" was written in 1907 by Will D. Cobbs and Gus Edwards.
**Information complied by the 1961 PTA consisting of Mrs. M. Anders, George Hart, Irma Swallow and Mrs. L. Heron. A special thanks goes to Kaye Mahoney, the Seeley Lake Elementary Multi-age 4-6 Classroom Teacher for her foresight and wisdom in keeping this information safe.
Seeley Lake Elementary had its start in 1916 when it separated from the Condon District. School enrollment grew slowly until 1950 when an infestation of spruce bark beetle in the forests of the northwest caused growth in the timber industry. This created new jobs and with it came more people. The Elementary School was literally busting at the seams.
In 1954 the Seeley Lake School Board recognized the need for a new school. The school had grown in eight years from 12 students in 1946 to 110 in 1954.
The buildings, a 30-year old AMC building, an old CCC cookhouse and a horse-barn, were inadequate and teacher turnover was high.
The playground area was so small the teacher had to make sure that the children got out of the swings before the school bus arrived.
The PTA offered to sponsor the new school. A school site election was held. The community voted it down.
After circulating fliers concerning the need for a new school the Board went back to the citizens with a bond issue.
Miraculously, it passed. The children of Seeley Lake would finally have a new school.
They had to have a site of not less than one-half acre in size because they were a first class school, the lowest class.
The Board could purchase land or rent up to ten acres of state land for one dollar a year for 99 years.
They chose to buy. They located 4 sites, but bought ten acres for $2500 owned by "Mr. Maloney" because it was (1) readily accessible with less cost to prepare a road, (2) isolated from noise and traffic, (3) centrally located, (4) convenient to utilities, fire prevention and water, (5) met the requirements of the law, and (6) encouraged wider use of the building by the community.
Other sites considered were too close to the mill (noise and pollution), too close to the main highway (dangerous), or too far away.
The school board hired an architect from Kalispell to design the school. The lowest bid on the building came in $3000 over what they could afford.
The Board went back to the voters with a mill levy for 10 mills. It passed.
Her request was denied because that aid applied only to growth from a government activity such as a dam or military installation.
Auditor Taylor, at her own expense, flew to Washington, D.C. to appear before a joint house and senate committee meeting on April 14, 1956.
As of a result of her testimony several schools in Montana, Idaho and Washington were able to receive federal aid as "impacted schools" due to the Spruce bark beetle infestation.
Seeley Lake received $13,000, which they used to purchase desks and to equip the school kitchen.
Construction began and the school was to be done by Thanksgiving of 1956, but "winter weather" and "distances from freight terminals" delayed the process.
Winter passed in the cramped quarters with four teachers including Dave Olson, Bob Graham, Muriel Haines and Ione McCormick.
When moving day arrived on May 14, 1957, the excited children helped pack, but bad news arrived.
The water at the new school was only a "reddish" trickle. Another well would have to be dug.
Then, due to the unsanitary conditions in the old school, "the plain old fashioned itch" spread through the school children, closing school for a week.
While school was closed the Missoula County Road Department devised a temporary solution to the water problem. A county water sprinkling tank truck supplied water to the school making in possible to flush the toilets.
At the insistence of Supt. Bartron the move was completed on May 27, three days before school dismissed for the summer.
The dedication for the school was held the next year in November. They sold the old school to a local resident for $2500. He planned to make it into a motel.
School began in earnest in the new building in the fall of 1957. It had four classrooms with two grades per class, an office and a kitchen. Lunch was served in the "large hall" using "drop-down" tables hung on the walls.
The first principal was Carl Mecham. The first teachers included Murial Haines who had been at the school since 1950, Ione McCormick, who arrived in 1955, and new teachers Mrs. Harper and Carol Sedlecek. They taught 99 children.
Marshall Gray, of Gray's Mill, stated at a Governor's Committee on Education held in Helena in 1961, that 100 high school age students lived in the Ovando, Condon and Seeley Lake area.
The bus ride to Missoula was over one-hour long making a high schooler's day 12 hours long causing a high drop out rate.
The Seeley Swan High School was built in the 1964-65 school year, but it wasn't completed until the middle of winter.
Martin Cahoon who attended his first six years of school at Placid Lake graduated from eighth grade in Seeley Lake in 1962. He then attended his freshman year of high school in Missoula taking that long bus ride.
The first half of his second year of high school was held in the Seeley Lake Elementary School until the high school was completed. During that time the grade school children attended school until early afternoon and high school was held until early evening.
At this point the wonderful Historical Achieves assembled by the Seeley Lake PTA in 1961 end.
Enter forty years of school board minutes, which mostly deal with routine things such as paying bills, staffing, and the calendar, but problems big and small reveal the evolution of the school.
At first a great deal of time is spent on bus routes and schedules. When the high school was completed this once again became an issue.
The grade school asked the high school if they'd consider starting after Labor Day. The high school wanted to start earlier for sports.
Parent volunteers managed the library. Each volunteer had a different system for filing the 80 books so the school secretary/clerk became the librarian.
The school playground and walkways were muddy. Some blacktop was laid.
To help with crowding a "portable" classroom was added in 1968 and the roof of the original school, built in 1957, began to leak.
Four more classrooms, a library, kitchen and gym were added in 1969. With the addition of the gym, Jr. High basketball was now held at the grade school instead of the high school.
For the first time there was one grade per classroom. Four more teachers were hired and Murial Haines, now a 20 year veteran, was asked to stop assigning so much homework.
The 1970's brought the departmentalization of the 6th – 8th grades. A music teacher was hired and shared with the high school.
A new dress code stipulated that dresses be no more than 4″ above the knees. Girls were allowed to wear pants. Head bands, bare midriffs and shorts were not allowed.
The school purchased 23-used manual and two used electrical typewriters. School Board minutes were no longer handwritten. A physical education teacher was hired for the first time. She also taught typing.
In 1974, the oil embargo caused gasoline prices to skyrocket. Many items had to be given up just to pay the bill.
When summer rolled around the superintendent was hired to paint the school. The school provided the paint.
In 1975 Cliff Nelson was paid $6.40 for taking care of the "score book and nets" at a basketball game.
Long time teachers Zelda Haines and Gayle Gordon were hired in the early 70's.
Other long time teachers include Kathleen Thompson, and Kaye Mahoney who were hired in the late 70's, along with Kathy Davis, hired to teach special education.
School secretary Karen Pagett was hired in 1979. She remained with the school until her retirement in 1998.
Smoking in the gym was banned, but still allowed in the concession's area. The school provided the ashtrays.
In the 1980's the student enrollment rose to over 200. Supt. Aumaugher resigned and John Hebnes took the reigns.
A school counselor was hired for the first time and Murial Haines retired in 1981 after teaching for thirty-years.
The custodian started a "Golden Trash Can" award. Tokens were given to the tidiest classroom. The class with the most tokens at the end of ten days got an additional 15 minutes of recess.
Playground rules listed, "no hitting, kicking, spitting, or roughing," but the school itself was beginning to address some very tough, new issues.
The superintendent and the clerk attended classes to "strengthen their knowledge of computers." An alarm system was installed.
Teachers attended a workshop on "Divorce and Its Effects on Students" and the "Aids Policy" was mentioned for the first time.
Equality in sports was required. Girl's volleyball was added.
The facilities continued to change. A grant for the Community Park was received. The tennis courts, ball field, outdoor basketball court and storage shed were put in.
The ceilings in the first through fourth grade rooms (the rooms of the original school) began to seriously leak.
In 1986 modular classrooms were added to the Jr. High. Sixth through eighth grade moved into the new rooms. Later a breezeway connected the rooms to the rest of the school.
The late 1980's were difficult years for the school board. Meeting after meeting included an "Executive Session," in which items of a personal nature were aired.
The first principal, Dan White, was hired in 1989 to teach half time and to supervise the staff.
A new discipline method was installed and the movie "ET" was shown in the lower grades. It caused a stir among parents because it was rated PG.
The 1990's open with Board Members Charlie Parker, Bart Peterson, Jack Greenwood, Dennis Schneiter and Dennis Nemmers.
They had their hands full. By 1994 a booming economy and the Echo Boom (children of the Baby Boomers) was crowding the school with an enrollment of 270 in a facility built for 200.
A modular classroom was added to be the music room. Renting classrooms in the church across the street was looked into.
Several of the classrooms, now over thirty years old, were leaking like sieves. Children in those classrooms did their studies to the "ba-loop, ba-loop" of water dripping into buckets.
The teachers arranged the children so they wouldn't get dripped on. Parents complained that their children were unable to get over colds.
The school board did a "walk through" of the school on a rainy day and decided it was time for another bond issue.
The community responded and the bond issue passed six years ago in 1995. The old school would get a new roof, an elementary wing and a new gym.
Construction began in the summer of 1996.
In September Junior High School teacher Cliff Nelson was shot and killed in his home in the middle of the night.
Even the minutes seemed to mourn.
Construction continued in spite of the tragedy, but just like the early days, weather held it up.
School was postponed for a week in the fall of 1997 waiting for final approval to move in. When it did start, the students were amazed. Their crowded, damp, dark school was transformed into a roomy, dry, brightly-lit school.
For some, the new building aided the healing process. The Junior High was named The Cliff Nelson Junior High.
But more changes were to come. Principal White moved away in 1998. Shirley Johnson was hired in his place. She stayed one year.
Tom Larson, the part-time music teacher, was hired to be the principle in 1999. He still taught music part-time at the high school.
Long time school custodian, Shirley Keiper retired in 1998. The school hired a Maintenance Engineer and contracted the custodian work out.
A program called "Safe Schools" was implemented and the new discipline method based on "consequences" seemed to be working.
The PTA pitched in like the old days and helped upgrade the playground.
In 2000, after 11 years, Supt. Hebnes resigned. Bill Hyde was his successor.
Since its peak in 1994 the enrollment steadily. Possible causes include Montana's aging population, layoffs at the mill and the waning of the Echo Boom.
Student enrollment now stands at 222, but the school is the best it has ever been.
The facility, which can hold 300 students, is ready for the future and just like always, the dedicated staff is committed to educating the children of Seeley Lake.

Capitol Hill Event Launches University Consortium to Engage Student Mappers
Glenys Young
Texas Tech and two partner universities receive a $1 million grant from USAID.

Ann Mei Chang, executive director of the USAID Global Development Lab;
Carrie Stokes, geographer and director of the USAID GeoCenter;
Robert V. Duncan, Texas Tech senior vice president for research;
Brent McCusker from West Virginia University;
and project director Patricia Solis, a research associate professor of geography at Texas Tech.
Texas Tech University and two partner universities were honored during a reception to launch the new Mapping For Resilience University Consortium on Tuesday (Nov. 17) in the Rayburn House Building in Washington, D.C.
Launched as part of the national Geography Awareness Week, the program aims to leverage academic community involvement in development innovation through creation and use of new open spatial data through student-led, crowd-sourced activities and shared through online open platforms for further analysis and research. Ultimately, the program will offer leadership and fellowship opportunities, activities for female mappers and support for students and their faculty mentors to work in local communities to create and use spatial data to solve real-world development needs and then share that data as a public good.
The reception was hosted by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the U.S. Global Development Lab's GeoCenter, which awarded a grant of $1 million for Texas Tech to establish a consortium of universities to start an international academic network to create and use open spatial data for development needs.
The Texas Tech Office of the Vice President for Research, the Department of Geosciences and the Department of Natural Resources Management worked with the two other founding universities – George Washington University and West Virginia University – to bring the project to fruition. The launch event featured a live demonstration of the online mapping platform provided by students from the three universities.
"Every project is different and could vary in length and complexity based on the needs of that project," said Julia Kleine, a senior geoscience major from Yorktown. "Instead of one person mapping an entire area, many people are able to join forces by logging in online and contributing to projects by looking at satellite images and interpreting and creating the data a piece at a time. This allows people to put in as little or as much as they can. However, there are no limits to the complexity or types of maps that can be done for situations. Today we see geographic information system technologies being used to provide knowledge and humanitarian assistance all over the world, even in natural disasters in places such as Haiti and Nepal."
The USAID GeoCenter identifies the "demand," the places where maps and geospatial data are needed, by working with missions and understanding their development objectives. The University Consortium will develop the student mappers by partnering with universities in the U.S. and in the developing world. This model builds upon previous global geospatial programming designed by Texas Tech faculty. It also utilizes teaching and learning methods pioneered at George Washington University and spatial analysis methods devised by West Virginia University partners.
The Mapping For Resilience University Consortium is USAID's strategic investment toward building a network of student mappers who create substantial geospatial data sets to support USAID's efforts to end extreme poverty. The Mapping For Resilience University Consortium uses the OpenStreetMap platform and tools to ensure geospatial data is freely available for the greater public good, particularly local populations planning for the welfare and vitality of their own communities.
"This is an important program because USAID and their implementing partners will actually use the data we create and the analyses our participants develop in their work around the world, ultimately helping to make a difference in people's lives," said Patricia Solís, Texas Tech research associate professor of geography and director of the program. "While we are at it, we will enrich students' international experiences through service and learning, build long-term scientific capacity around the world and foster youth leadership.
"We are leveraging a significant geospatial data revolution that makes it possible for people everywhere to not only use maps but create them, too. This is empowering for people in places that have been either left off the map or who did not have access," Solís said. "Being able to answer the question of where, when addressing significant needs in developing countries, is very important."
Meanwhile, students gain new skills and can use this data in their own research. This can apply to a great variety of studies on issues that lend themselves to be visualized through mapping, from locating vulnerabilities to flooding and marking the extent of drought-stricken areas to identifying factors in land use that can improve food security or locating sites with high potential for renewable energy production.
"Mapping and geospatial awareness are essential to the economic expansion, and the improvement in our quality of life throughout the world," said Robert V. Duncan, Texas Tech senior vice president for research. "I am so excited to see our students and faculty working closely with their counterparts at George Washington, West Virginia and others around the world in this effort that brings us all together and advances peace and prosperity for all."
The launch event was moderated by USAID U.S. Global Development Lab Executive Director Ann Mei Chang and GeoCenter Director Carrie Stokes. In attendance were congressional staff representatives from the offices of Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and Reps. Michael McCaul, Joaquin Castro and Randy Neugebauer; high level Texas Tech representatives including Duncan and Annette Sobel, Office of the President; representatives from George Washington University and West Virginia University; representatives from USAID, NASA, the National Academies of Sciences, the American Red Cross, (Missing Maps Project), the Department of State's Humanitarian Information Unit (MapGive), World Bank's Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (Open Cities), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Peace Corps and others.

Ghana introduces online registration for nurses and midwives
From 2018, nurses and midwives in Ghana will be able to take their licensing examination for the Nursing and Midwifery Council in Ghana online.
The new online examination aims to ease the current manual process and strengthen the examination capacity of the Council.
The change in the licensing examination process was announced during the Nursing and Midwifery Council's 2017 mid-year review.
The mid-year performance review conference was an opportunity for regional representatives of Nursing and Midwifery Council in Ghana to come together to discuss challenges and to celebrate achievements.
A grant was presented to the Council by the Dutch Government to make the licensing examinations available online, and to support the Council in strengthening its organisational capacity.
During the mid-term review, Registrar of the Council, Felix Nyante, said the Nursing and Midwifery Council in Ghana wanted to focus on ICT deployment.
"We want to rest on ICT infrastructure to accelerate our performance. We want to see a situation where nurses and midwives can sit in their homes, offices and various hospitals to log on unto [sic] our website and renew their license," Felix Nyante said.
The Chief Director at the Ministry of Health, Dr Afisah Zakariah, has commended the Council on their collaboration with CINOP Global.
"The ministry is happy that the Council in collaboration with a consortium in the Netherlands called CINOP Global will be introducing the online licencing examination in 2018.
"This will ease the laborious processes engaged in the old manual system and make licensing examination in Ghana a trustworthy one," she said.

We're planning for tomorrow, today through our Integrated Resource Plan--the regulatory process used in Indiana to outline how energy companies plan to meet the future electric needs of its customers.
Based upon NIPSCO's recent assessment of the timeline and to ensure all resource options are considered for addressing the future capacity and energy needs of our customers, we have determined an update is required to our 2016 IRP. We plan to submit an updated IRP by November 1, 2018.
As part of the IRP development, NIPSCO plans to conduct a Public Advisory Process with several meetings taking place between now and the submission of the IRP update.
Our first meeting took place Friday, March 23 and focused on explaining the rationale for submitting this update, process and timing, key assumptions we will use in the 2018 update, and major changes from the 2016 IRP.
During the March 23 meeting, NIPSCO announced its intention to issue a request for proposals ("RFP") for capacity. We are seeking stakeholder feedback on the approach/design to ensure a robust, transparent process and result. NIPSCO is providing the Interim Summary on the All Source RFP and welcomes your feedback. Please provide feedback to nipsco_irp@nisource.com no later than Friday, April 20, 2018.
The third meeting was held July 24, 2018 via webinar and focused on the results of the all source request for proposals for capacity.
NIPSCO hosted a technical webinar on August 28, 2018 to provide additional information on the methodology and rationale for the tranches, including an illustrative example.
A public advisory meeting was held September 19, 2018 at Fair Oaks Farms. The event focused on the preliminary findings from the IRP modeling and solicited stakeholder feedback on the preliminary results.
A public advisory meeting was held on October 18, 2018 at Fair Oaks Farms. The event focused on NIPSCO's preferred resource plan and short term action plan as well as soliciting stakeholder feedback on the final results.

Léglise Saint-Georges de Godovik (en serbe cyrillique :  ; en serbe latin : ) est une église orthodoxe serbe située à Godovik, dans le district de Zlatibor et dans la municipalité de Požega en Serbie. Elle est inscrite sur la liste des monuments culturels de grande importance de la République de Serbie (identifiant SK 406) et elle fait partie d'un « ensemble » inscrit sur la liste des entités spatiales historico-culturelles de grande importance de la République (identifiant PKIC 19).

Présentation de l'ensemble
Le village de Godovik est situé à proximité de Požega, dans une région qui abrite de nombreuses sources et des cours d'eau qui forment des cascades. De nombreux moulins y furent construits au , dont un seul est aujourd'hui préservé. À proximité se trouve la maison de Vasilije Popović, issu d'une famille sacerdotale du ville, construite vers 1875 et une fontaine en pierre située au hameau de Pijaca, construite dans les années 1920. L'église Saint-Élie a été construite au  en 1855 et possède un clocher de style néo-baroque.

L'église Saint-Georges

Historique

L'église Saint-Georges constitue l'élément le plus important de l'ensemble. Elle a été construite au  en tant qu'église monastique, au moment où l'église Saint-Achille d'Arilje était un métoque du monastère de la ville.

Aucun document n'est disponible sur l'histoire de l'église jusqu'au milieu du  ; à cette époque l'église fonctionne comme une église paroissiale ordinaire et elle a été consacrée en tant que telle par le patriarche Arsenije III Čarnojević en 1692. En 1780, à l'arrivée du hiéromoine Josif, le konak et les constructions en pierre alentour ont été entourés d'un mur dont il ne reste rien aujourd'hui. L'église a de nouveau été restaurée en 1808 et un narthex lui a été ajouté, détruit en 1813. En 1832, le prince Miloš Obrenović a fait don d'une cloche pour le nouveau clocher de l'église.

Architecture et décoration
L'architecture de l'église se démarque en partie de l'architecture traditionnelle. L'édifice est constitué d'une nef unique surmontée d'un dôme en son centre et prolongée par une abside demi-circulaire ; elle dispose d'une voûte en berceau et l'abside est dotée d'une calotte en demi-sphère. L'église est construite en tuffeau et en pierres volcaniques grises ; le matériau de liaison est un mortier de chaux.

L'iconostase a été peinte en 1813 par des membres de la famille Lazović, peut-être par Aleksije Lazović de Zadar, le fils de Simeon Lazović.

Shamrock: The National Emblem of Ireland
Mary Thorpe Blog 0	0
The shamrock is thought by many Irish people globally, to be grown exclusively in Ireland, in Irish soil. Some sources would argue that this is a myth however and was perpetrated by entrepreneurial business people and owes more to their marketing wizardry rather than to horticulture truth. Their wizardry was used to sell the shamrock as an Irish idiom, rather than it being a fact. The shamrock can, in fact, be found growing all over the world; England, Tasmania, South Africa, North America, to name just a few of the places. The traditional Irish shamrock belongs to the white clover family [Trifolium repens], a common lawn weed [spelt seamróg in Gaelic] which means summer plant. Occasionally, a fourth leaf will appear, making it a four-leafed clover, which is said to bring good luck and good fortune to the person who has found it.
Shamrock, the emblem of Ireland, is synonymous with St. Patrick and his teaching of Christianity to the pagan Irish, using the three-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity [The Father, Son and Holy Spirit]. Back in my day, we called them Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Some would suggest that he used the shamrock to deliver his Christian message.
However, some sources say that the first mention of shamrock in the English language was noted in 1571 by the Elizabethan scholar Edmund Campton. His work "Boke of the Histories of Irelande " described very vividly the habits of the 'wilde Irish' and their tendency to eat shamrock [shamrotes, watercress, roots, and other herbes] to feed themselves. This description of Irish habits castigated the Irish over many centuries, and when famine struck, particularly the Great Famine of 1884/85, the issue of eating shamrock reared its head again. Now as history tells us, the Irish did eat all sorts of grass and berries to keep themselves alive during the Great Hunger tragic times. What happened, however, was that all these herbs did become popular over the centuries – not only the Irish but many other cultures recognised that herbal plants, including shamrock, could be used for medicinal purposes. Today, herbal shops have grown rapidly.
Shamrock has been symbolic of many things in Ireland and dates back to the Celtic Paganism and Druid era's as the number three was a mystical number and sacred in the Celtic religion, and which had a very long and colourful tradition in even more ancient Celtic cultures.
Up until the 17th century, the Irish wore a special wooden cross made from reeds, specifically for St. Patricks Day [similar to a St. Bridged's Cross]. Then in the late 18thcentury, the shamrock was adopted as an emblem of Ireland by the Volunteers of 1777. It did not, however, become widely popular until the 19th century, when the emerging Nationalist movements took the shamrock along with the harp as their National emblems.
Some sources would suggest that this act of displaying an Irish emblem by the Nationalist movements was a causal factor in the shamrock being banned from all Irish Military regiments on St. Patricks Day. The Crown decreed that all Irish regiments were forbidden to display the shamrock on their person. However, this single act by the Crown may have done more to establish the shamrock as Irelands National emblem than anything else! It was also the catalyst for the creation of the famous Irish ballad – The Wearin 'O' The Green.
"Oh Paddy dear, and did ye hear the news that's going round?
The shamrock is forbid by law to grow on Irish ground!
No more St. Patrick's Day we'll keep; his color can't be seen,
For there's a cruel law again' the wearing o' the Green!"
The lyrics may have indeed stirred the hearts and souls of all Irish men wherever they were, there are, however, a couple of contradictions in the lyrics. It is very likely that St. Patrick wore vestments of blue, not green, and since the shamrock grew wild in Ireland and was not cultivated, there was no way that the Crown could have successfully banned the growth of the shamrock on Irish soil. But sure what's the harm in injecting a little bit of conjecture into an Irish ballad when the heart and soul are being torn apart…
So bearing all the above in mind, Nathaniel Colgan, a 1900s to early 20th-century botanist, set out to discover the true identity of the Irish shamrock. He asked people from all over Ireland to send him in samples with the roots attached, [which he was inundated with]. He planted every single one of the samples, labelling them carefully, so that when they grew and matured, he was able to identify different plants, the small hop clover, and the wood sorrel, or oxalis, and one he called Black Medrick.
All of this is a very long time ago – that was then and this is now. That St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach us the mystery of the Holy Trinity is still up for debate as it was never mentioned in any of his writings. So, that of itself remains a mystery. On the other hand, Triads, or groups of three, were of major significance in ancient Ireland; so it is quite possible that the shamrock may have been used by early Christian teachers because, not only could it instantly illustrate and explain an important belief, it would also have been symbolically acceptable.
A little late in the day, the Irish Government in early 1980 registered the shamrock as its official emblem- however the German Government, none too happy with this, opposed the registration and took the Irish Government to court. When Ireland, with representation from its highest level, the Taoiseach Charles Haughey and other dignitary's failed to secure the shamrock as its national emblem, they did not take that lying down, so they appealed against the decision and the case went to the German Supreme High Court. On appeal, Ireland won the case in 1985.
Today, the shamrock is firmly established as the most instantly recognisable emblem of Ireland. For good luck, it was usually included in the bouquet of an Irish bride. It's the symbol of quality for many thousands of business – from the everyday B & B's that have earned the right to display it, to part of the Aer Lingus logo, an Póiste, as well as those of many other companies, sports teams and organisations. And importantly, it's also an integral part of an old tradition called "drowning the shamrock". For the most part, this usually takes place on St. Patrick's Day, by ex-pats nostalgic for their homeland, when the shamrock that has been worn in the hat or lapel is then removed and put into the last drink of the evening. When the toast is proposed and has been honoured, the shamrock is taken from the bottom of the glass and thrown over the left shoulder.
Since then it has been used in many different forums and has also become a tradition for the Irish Taoiseach to present a Waterford Crystal bowl full of shamrock, the bowl also featuring a shamrock design, to the President of the United States on St. Patricks Day, in the White House.
The shamrock became the badge of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, founded in 1783. The Order was a British Order of Chivalry associated with Ireland. It technically still exists, however, no Knights of Saint Patrick have been created since 1938.

Professional Book Reviews below "That's Just How It Was is a moving family tale through which much can be gleaned about life during the push for Irish independence… This is a satisfying, emotionally involving read."- Clarion Review "Authors of family memoirs often overload their narratives with minutiae that puts nonfamily members to sleep. There are no such encumbrances in Mary Thorpe's biography of her remarkable grandmother, Bridget O'Rourke. Thorpe…carefully blends Bridget's story with the events of her day, some of the most pivotal events in Ireland's history."- Blueink Review "Thorpe compellingly incorporates history into her grandmother's story, always making sure to bring the narrative back to Bridget's life and personal experience ….. a compelling story of a strong, capable woman and the history that surrounded her ".- Kirkus Review
