He was elected to the Fair Board after many years of participating in the Fair with his beloved wife, Lillian, and their children in the 4-H Horse and Still Project areas. Norm watched the Fair grow and evolve over the years. He was one of the directors who helped establish the fairgrounds where it is located today. He was active with Buildings and Grounds and all other areas of the Fair. He was a wealth of information and stability. We can truly state that our Norm was an invaluable asset to the Van Buren Youth Fair. He will be missed by his fellow directors both current and retired as well as the families and volunteers participating in our fair. We salute you, Norm, and thank you for your tireless energy, intelligence, good humor and loving nature. Keep watch over us!!! 3 4 5 STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GARY MCDOWELL GOVERNOR AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Dear Friends: Welcome to the 2019 county fair season! Michigan's 86 local and county fairs have been providing family-friendly entertainment, celebrating the uniqueness of each of our communities, and showcasing the diverse bounty of Michigan agriculture for decades. Our local and county fairs continue to play a role in moving Michigan forward by helping to reconnect consumers and communities with agri-food traditions like supporting our farmers by buying locally-grown food. It also provides a stage to highlight the next generation of food and agriculture entrepreneurs and farmers. By supporting your local county fair - whether as an attendee or as an exhibitor — you're also contributing to the growth and economic vitality of your community. We're very proud of our area community businesses, fairgoers and families who support our young exhibitors' college educations through livestock auctions held at the county fairs. I encourage all Michiganders to attend a local county fair as we look to grow the next crop of leaders who will help shape our future. Sincerely, Gary McDowell Director CONSTITUTION HALL • P.O.

  • A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’
    Welcome to Version 1.2 (20th September 2016) A Practical Guide to Petitioning for By Paul D Jagger a Grant of Arms 1 Welcome to ‘A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’. These materials support a face-to-face workshop on the subjects of heraldry and petitioning the Crown for arms in the Commonwealth realms, Crown Dependencies and Territories. For the sake of simplicity the following slides focus on the heraldic practices of HM College of Arms in the City of London covering England, Wales, Norther Ireland, the Crown Dependencies, Territories and the Commonwealth Realms other than Canada. Scotland has enjoyed its own heraldic authority since before the union of the crowns. Agenda An Introduction to Heraldry Petitioning for arms Displaying arms Preparing your petition Frequently Asked Questions Further reading and resources 2 Heraldry: An Introduction 3 We will now explore some of the concepts and terminology of heraldry, the law of arms and gain a brief insight in to blazon, the language of heraldry. The photo was taken by the author in the great hall at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Heraldic Myths Busted There is no such thing as a coat of arms for a surname The words crest, badge and coat of arms are not synonymous There are no fixed meaning for colours or symbols in heraldry You cannot buy your family coat of arms from a tourist shop or website You don’t have to be a Lord or a Knight to be granted arms 4 Before we proceed with the substance of this workshop it may be helpful to dispel a few common myths and misconceptions about heraldry and coats of arms.

  • Chalinus Armiger in Plautus' Casina WILLIAM S. ANDERSON
    Chalinus armiger in Plautus' Casina WILLIAM S. ANDERSON The first surviving occurrence of armiger meets us in Plautus, who uses the noun six times. Of these, one, the earHest, appears in Merc. 852, and all others define an important character of the Casina, the slave Chalinus. It is not immediately clear, when in the prologue of Casina (55) we first hear of the slave as armor-bearer, whether any nuances attach to the word. Since this matter has not been adequately studied (nor the significance of the armor-bearer in the comedy) I shall bring evidence to bear on armiger and show that the word was probably pro- saic in its original usage, therefore in all likelihood introduced by Plautus himself, and consequently we should think of Chalinus as a lowly character, not the typical servus urbanus or callidus: he is a man whose physique and militant past operate more significantly in the comedy's themes than his cleverness. The reader of Augustan poetry might well query my first point, for armiger as noun appears predominantly in poetry in the Augustan period, notably in the Aeneid} and armiger as adjective seems to be 'Vergil uses armiger six times; five in the nominative (Aen. II. 477, V. 255, IX. 564 and 648, XI. 32) and once in the accusative (IX. 330). In his commentary on II. 477, R. G. Austin wrote of the word: "a Piautine noun (Merc. 852, etc.), introduced by Virgil into high poetry" (p. 188). Such an assertion is a bit risky, since Cicero alone employs the word between the occurrences in Plautus and Vergil.

  • The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P
    The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P. DuLong 11 October 2018 Topics • What is heraldry? • How heraldry can help solve genealogical problems. • Misuse of heraldry and “folk heraldry.” • Examples of heraldry evidence from my own research in Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Italy, and Belgium. • If time permits, then I will address registering arms and grants of arms. What is Heraldry? • Heraldry has come to mean the system of arms involving the use of particular devices centered on a shield that has become hereditary symbols passed down through a family, normally through the eldest son. • In some countries it is tied to social stratification and is a mark of nobility, in other countries heraldry is also used by non-nobles. • Although there are some general rules of heraldry that apply everywhere, some heraldry practices do vary from country to country. • In America, where many of our founding fathers used armorial bearings, it is more equalitarian and does not imply nobility. • For genealogists, heraldry is a tool that can be used to solve genealogical problems and to provide background for our research. General Rules of Heraldry • We will not be reviewing the rules of heraldry in detail here or the technical terms involved in heraldry. • See the handout for some of the technical terms and for a bibliography of works regarding heraldry. • There is one rule that I would like to very clear: It is bad form, and in some countries illegal, to use the arms of others without a right to them though inheritance. Use of Heraldry in Genealogy • Heraldry is not just something of esthetic interest, but of practical value when doing genealogy on bourgeois, gentry, and noble ancestors in Europe.
