Muzeroll e-Ticker News CLAREMONT, NH—Claremont City Manag- er Ryan McNutt has released his proposed Fiscal Year 2019 City Operating Budget which totals $17,332,188, exclusive of the Waste- water ($2,739,776) and Water ($2,197,013) departments. The City Council will begin re- viewing the proposal this month. In his letter to councilors, McNutt said, “The community’s resources are finite and we must acknowledge the strain. The City does not plan on replacing one firefighter who retired. Additionally, due to two open positions in the Police Department and the lengthy nature of that hiring process, we will likely see some re- tention of funds over the course of the fiscal Graphic provided by City of Claremont year.” McNutt continued, “The Administration must endeavor to find and fix inefficiencies and be the good stewards of taxpayer dollars. To this end, we have begun conversations with our neighboring communities in Sullivan County regarding services that can be shared and regionalized.

  • Lisible Et Risible
    LISIBLE ET RISIBLE Les noms et les titres sarcastiques dans une traduction anglaise de La Préférence Nationale de Fatou Diome par ©Sarah Martin Mémoire soumis à l’École des Études supérieures en vue des exigences partielles du diplôme de Maîtrise ès Lettres en Études françaises Département d’Études françaises et hispaniques Université Memorial Mai 2014 Saint-Jean Terre-Neuve ABRÉGÉ Ce mémoire se propose d’étudier le sarcasme: son usage, son lien fort avec la culture et sa traduisibilité. En traduisant La Préférence Nationale de Fatou Diome, nous examinons la difficulté de transmettre le sarcasme sous-entendu dans les noms et dans les titres de ce livre. Le traducteur comme médiateur linguistique et culturel doit jauger l’importance des éléments qui entrent en jeu pendant l’acte traduisant. Comme cette traduction anglaise nous le démontre, le traducteur doit souvent prendre la décision soit d’amener son lectorat vers l’écrivain soit d’amener l’écrivain vers son lectorat- un choix qui, entre autres, pourrait mettre en question la fidélité du traducteur. ABSTRACT This thesis proposes to study sarcasm: its use, its strong link to culture and its translatability. By translating Fatou Diome’s La Préférence Nationale, we examine the difficulty in conveying the implicit sarcasm in the names and the titles of this book. As both a linguistic and cultural intermediary, the translator has to gauge the importance of the elements that come into play during the translation process. As this English translation attempts to show, the translator must often make the decision to either steer his or her readership towards the author or to steer the author towards his or her readership- a choice that, amongst other things, might call into question the faithfulness of the translator.

(photo courtesy of Norma Maier) 32 OFFICIAL MANUAL Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon Governor Elected November 4, 2008 Term expires January 2013 JAY NIXON (Democrat) is serving his fi rst term as governor of Missouri. Garnering the highest margin of victory for a non- incumbent governor in 44 years, Nixon was overwhelmingly elected by Missourians as their 55th governor to create jobs and move the state forward. Governor Nixon has put forward an agenda to make govern- ment more effi cient, effective and responsive to the needs of Missouri families. He is committed to fi ghting every day to create jobs in Missouri, holding the line on taxes and placing a college education within reach for more Missouri students. As he did in the state Senate and during four terms as attor- ney general, Governor Nixon is reaching across the aisle to put Missouri families fi rst. He successfully worked with the legislature to pass several jobs initiatives to put Missourians back to work, including a bill to bring next-generation automotive production to Missouri. Nixon’s call to reform Missouri’s drunk-driving laws resulted in changes to keep repeat offenders off the road. Governor Nixon has led the fi ght for families with children with special needs, including the successful push to require insurance companies to cover proven treatments for autism disorders, as well as the creation of Partnership for Hope, which is helping provide community-based services to those with developmental disabilities.
