Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man. -

Quintin Gill House of Keys General Election Thursday 22Nd September 2016 WE NEED POLITICIANS with COMMITMENT, INDEPENDENCE and EXPERIENCE
DOUGLAS EAST Quintin Gill House of Keys General Election Thursday 22nd September 2016 WE NEED POLITICIANS WITH COMMITMENT, INDEPENDENCE AND EXPERIENCE 2 The General Election on 22nd September is your chance to cast your vote for MHKs to represent you, your family, friends, neighbours and everyone in our community across the Island. It will be an important election as the Isle of Man faces some pressing challenges and serious threats. I believe that more than ever we need politicians with the vision, skills and commitment to make many overdue and very necessary changes in our Parliamentary and Governmental systems. A further five years of the same attitudes and behaviours will further damage the Isle of Man – possibly irreparably. YOUR DECISION WHO YOU VOTE FOR IS THEREFORE CRUCIAL . EXPERIENCED, INDEPENDENT, COMMITTED 3 The comment I have heard most over the past few years, and certainly since canvassing homes and businesses across the constituency, is one of frustration with, and criticism about, the Government. Certainly the Government has been weak, inconsistent, secretive and arrogant but frankly they have been largely allowed to get away with this as the rest of Tynwald Members have failed to hold them to account, let alone present a coherent and positive opposition. All our new MHKs need to have the courage, character and experience to understand what their new role really is. They will then need to act to make the necessary overdue decisions to turn around the fortunes and future of the Isle of Man. With several long-serving politicians retiring it is more important than ever that we have politicians with the necessary experience to understand and undertake their roles fully and immediately. -
