Josephine Zadina 37 PREFACE Information from a history book isn't as vital as remembrance. A history book tells only of things that are gone.A memory, however,; is a living thing containing laughter, love, and often heartache and tears----it still has color, odor or sound sometimes and, always, real substancej It is a healthy thing to return in memory to experiences which have made up the reality of of our lives. The following stories are from memories. their importance has already been established. CAMPING AT THE STATE FAIR Just west of the State Fair Grounds at Salem is an oak grove of times long past. For many years--I don't know how long--at fair time it was filled with tents of fair goers. Since my mother was one of five children and my grandfather had six brothers and sisters, our family looked forward to a week-long family reunion. Grandpa and Grandma, and as many of the cousins, aunts and uncles, great- aunts and uncles as could, arranged to come each year. When the heavy canvas tent had been put up and firmly staked against the wind, rag carpeting hand-woven on a loom was laid to cover the grass to make it cleaner and easier to sweep. Each family took a two-or three-burner kerosene stove, preferably with its port- able oven, so adequate meals could be prepared. Kerosene lamps, folding chairs, cupboards, etc., were needed. Some of the more affluent members of the older generation had permission to build cottages at the edge of the area, for tents and often our bedsprings, mattresses and tables were stored there. Com- munity restrooms were strategically located and sidewalks were laid out with numbered tent spaces so you could tell your friends to meet you at space 8 in row E. I believe we could reserve a space a year ahead. When everything was in order the younger men would return home to work until the next weekend when they would come back to enjoy the fair and take their families home. We all had season tickets which allowed us to go back and forth 1 at will if the day proved too boring in the pavilions. It didn't take too long to see all the kitchen gadgets demonstrated orlearn the "spiel" of the patent medicine man. But certain days we would sit on the benches and watch for neighbors and friends whohad moved from our vicinity but had written that they would come. We had looked forward to wearing our new fall wardrobes and endured them even if the day turned out scorching hot. We suffered from kid curlers and having our hair done up in rags, as Motherwanted us to appear at our best. She entered me in the baby contest the fall before my first birthday and was truly proud of the silver cup presented to the heaviest baby girl. The "Midway" seemed much more exciting then, and those uncles without children delighted in buying us tickets on the ferriswheel or other contrivances. Every year there was some new treat like "snow sherbet" or spun sugar candy. But the sweet that has endured through the years is Fischer's scones. I'd hate to see, in one pile, all the jam-filled scones I've eaten in all those years atthe fair.

  • BONNER Walking Tour Prepared for Bonner School by the Bonner Milltown History Center and Museum May, 2020
    BONNER Walking Tour Prepared for Bonner School by the Bonner Milltown History Center and Museum May, 2020 Begin this self-guided history tour on the corner of Hwy 200 and Hwy 210 Hi, Bonner Lumberjacks! Let’s go on a Bonner time travel walk. Before we start, let’s take a minute and look around. How long can you hold your breath? A long time ago (10,000 years) we would be standing on the bottom of Glacial Lake Missoula. It was 1,000 feet deep! How deep is that? The tops of Bonner and Woody mountains were islands. Did you know that our valley has a mountain that is a weather forecaster? Turn and look across the Clark Fork Valley. Crystal Peak had to be free of snow before Bonner girls in the 1940s were allowed to stop wearing the long, brown thick stockings that kept their legs warm under their skirts on their walk to school in winter. And gardeners waited for the snow to disappear from Crystal Peak to plant their gardens or a late freeze might kill all of their plants. What is Crystal Peak telling you today? Is it time to plant your garden? Now, let’s get started on our tour! Do you recognize this picture? It’s hanging in the school library. Walter Hook graduated from Bonner School. Later when he was a famous artist, he painted this mural showing how the timber industry is a part of Bonner School from the trees being cut in the forest, to boards being made at the mill, to the building of the school.

  • Dancing at Lughnasa
    1 Dancing at Lughnasa ACT ONE When the play opens MICHAEL is standing downstage left in a pool of light. The rest of the stage is in darkness. Immediately MICHAEL begins speaking slowly bring up the lights on the rest of the stage. Around the stage and at a distance from MICHAEL the other characters stand motionless in formal tableau. MAGGIE is at the kitchen window (right). CHRIS is at the front door. KATE at extreme stage right. ROSE and GERRY sit on the garden seat. JACK stands beside ROSE. AGNES is upstage left. They hold these positions while MICHAEL talks to the audience. MICHAEL. When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936 different kinds of memories offer themselves to me. We got our first wireless set that summer – well, a sort of set; and it obsessed us. And because it arrived as August was about too begin, my Aunt Maggie – She was the joker of the family – she suggested we give it a name. She wanted to call it Lugh* after the old Celtic God of the Harvest. Because in the old days August the First was La Lughnasa, the feast day of the pagan god, Lugh; and the days and weeks of harvesting that followed were called the Festival of Lughnasa. But Aunt Kate – she was a national schoolteacher and a very proper woman --she said it would be sinful to christen an inanimate object with any kind of name, not to talk of a pagan god. So we just called it Marconi because that was the name emblazoned on the set.

  • Augustinian Values and Signs of the Times by Gary N. Mccloskey
    . Occasional Paper #2 Love of God and Love of Neighbor: Augustinian Values and Signs of the Times by Gary N. McCloskey O.S.A.* Presented at The O.S.A. Educators International Congress Rome, Italy July 2005 * All Rights Reserved 2005 for Text by Gary N. McCloskey, O.S.A. Rev. Gary N. McCloskey, O.S.A., is Chaired Professor of Augustinian Pedagogy and Dean of the College at Merrimack College, North Andover, Massachusetts. In these positions Dr. McCloskey directs the Saint Augustine Institute for Learning and Teaching as part of the college’s efforts to enhance its Augustinian distinctive competence. In addition to his Augustinian pedagogy he has provided leadership for social justice work in higher education. He has also served as Director of Justice and Peace for the Villanova Province. When I was asked to make a presentation on Augustinian educational values and the signs of the times, the scope was obviously daunting. One way to approach such a task was to find a lens through which I could focus my ideas. In the face of the amount of writings by and about Augustine as well as my not being an Augustine scholar by training I was unsure of a direction. Yet, the fact of the limitations of my study of Augustine led me to the one text with which I am most familiar, The Rule. Here I found at its beginning my starting point, “Before all else, dear brothers, love God and then your neighbor, because these are the chief commandments given to us.”1 No matter who is the author2 of these words, their Augustinian character is undeniable.

    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Lingvocultural Interpretation of the Lexical Units, Referring to the Toys and Games in Great Britain & the USA Aigul Rafailevna Valeeva [email protected] Nadezda Vladimirovna Pospelova [email protected] Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, (Elabuga Institute), 89, Kazanskaya Street, Elabuga, Tatarstan Republic, 423600 Abstract Today the problems of human-language interaction have become paramount in Linguistics, which has the tendency to consider a human being as the centre of the Universe and the main aim of all the occurring events in the world. This article discusses lexical units on the theme "games and toys", relating to the culture of the UK and the US. The role of culture through the study of the above units is significant and immense in the process of language learning. At the same time language serves as the main tool with the help of which we study the culture, it is its constituent part. In this respect, culture and language are interdependent and there is. There is an attempt of classification of lexical units for the studied subject. For about 200 lexical units on the theme "games and toys" were found in the English language within the framework of this research. We attempted to analyze the culture of the US and of the UK on the basis of these lexical units for the successful formation of knowledge of the language. Keywords: language; culture; linguistic culture; lexical unit; realia; quasi-realia; game; toy; classification; semantic feature; analysis. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 534 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Introduction The article is devoted to the study of the lexical units related to the games and toys of Great Britain and the United States.

    Marian Petersen 9/21/04, T1, S1 BL: Hello. MP: Hello. BL: I would like for you to tell me your full name, please. MP: I am Marian Nancy __ Petersen. BL: And what‟s your date of birth? MP: December 11th, 1918. BL: And that makes you how old? MP: Eighty-five. Approaching eight-six. BL: Can you tell me about your parents coming to Union County? MP: Yeah. I could give you a slight description, I guess. My father was from F__, Scotland. He was coming out to the States bringing another lady, woman, to marry a friend of his that was residing in Dayville area. That was his ticket in coming. He ended up in Dayville and was working for Jim Kamp and there were Scotch people around in John Day __ used to be many, anyway. I don‟t know if there is now. My mother lived in John Day. My grandmother on my mother‟s side had remarried and had moved down below John Day about half way between John Day and Mount Vernon. There was a Scotch family that lived just a short distance from there that my father became acquainted with and had helped them out quite a bit with hunting and etcetra. My mother was working there as a cook after she was out of high school…not high school, pardon me, out of grade school because they only went to the eighth grade then. In the eighth grade she didn‟t have the opportunity to go off to high school so she was working and that was where he met her.

    Marion Leonard Lived: June 9, 1881 - January 9, 1956 Worked as: film actress, producer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Sarah Delahousse It is well known that Florence Lawrence, the first “Biograph Girl,” was frustrated in her desire to exploit her fame by the company that did not, in those years, advertise their players’ names. Lawrence is thought to have been made the first motion picture star by an ingenious ploy on the part of IMP, the studio that hired her after she left the Biograph Company. But the emphasis on the “first star” eclipses the number of popular female players who vied for stardom and the publicity gambles they took to achieve it. Eileen Bowser has argued that Lawrence was “tied with” the “Vitagraph Girl,” Florence Turner, for the honorific, “first movie star” (1990, 112). In 1909, the year after Lawrence left Biograph, Marion Leonard replaced her as the “Biograph Girl.” At the end of 1911, Leonard would be part of the trend in which favorite players began to find ways to exploit their popularity, but she went further, establishing the first “star company,” according to Karen Mahar (62). Leonard had joined the Biograph Company in 1908 after leaving the Kalem Company, where she had briefly replaced Gene Gauntier as its leading lady. Her Kalem films no longer exist nor are they included in any published filmography, and few sources touch on her pre-Biograph career. Thus it is difficult to assess her total career. However, Marion Leonard was most likely a talented player as indicated by her rapid ascension to the larger and more prominent studio.

He pricked the hand of a memory-impaired patient while greeting her with a pin concealed between his fingers.
