  • Baseball History
    Christian Brothers Baseball History 1930 - 1959 By James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 1 Introductory Note This is an attempt to chronicle the rich and colorful history of baseball played at Christian Brothers High School from the years 1930 to 1959. Much of the pertinent information for such an endeavor exists only in yearbooks or in scrapbooks from long ago. Baseball is a spring sport, and often yearbooks were published before the season’s completion. There are even years where yearbooks where not produced at all, as is the case for the years 1930 to 1947. Prep sports enjoyed widespread coverage in the local papers, especially during the hard years of the Great Depression and World War II. With the aid of old microfilm machines at the City Library, it was possible to resurrect some of those memorable games as told in the pages of the Sacramento Bee and Union newspapers. But perhaps the best mode of research, certainly the most enter- taining, is the actual testimony of the ballplayers themselves. Their recall of events from 50 plus years ago, even down to the most minor of details is simply astonishing. Special thanks to Kathleen Davis, Terri Barbeau, Joe Franzoia, Gil Urbano, Vince Pisani, Billy Rico, Joe Sheehan, and Frank McNamara for opening up their scrapbooks and sharing photographs. This document is by no means a complete or finished account. It is indeed a living document that requires additions, subtractions, and corrections to the ongoing narrative. Respectfully submitted, James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 2 1930 s the 1920’s came to a close, The Gaels of Christian Brothers High School A had built a fine tradition of baseball excellence unmatched in the Sacra- mento area.

  • New Iberia Research Center 2009
    Who's There? New Iberia Research Center A listing of 387 chimpanzees held at New Iberia Research Center -- separated by decade of birth. As of 2008, the current population estimate is 325. (Data sources: Originally obtained by Stop Experimentation on & Exploitation of Chimpanzees (SEEC) on April 20, 2002. Chimpanzee data on the gray background reflects the breeding colony at NIRC as provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in January 2006. Most recent updates are from a 2008 FOIA request to NIH and personal correspondence with HSUS.) An inquiry was sent to New Iberia on 11/14/08 requesting the names and other identifying information for chimpanzees at this facility. Our letter was refused and returned back to us unopened on 12/10/08. NOTE: Chimpanzees that are part of NIRC's breeding colony are indicated in light gray. The actual birth date of domestic born chimpanzees (D) is shown, while that of wild caught (W) chimpanzees is estimated to be January 1st. The breeding status assigned by NIRC is indicated in the notes column. We have no further information. NIRC's KEY: Potential Breeder Replacement (PBR), Proven Breeder (PB), Program Potential (PP), Non-Breeder (N), Currently Assigned, (CA). NIRC holds 48 chimpanzees born prior to the 1975 ban on capturing free-living chimpanzees in Africa, indicating that some may have been captured from the wild as infants. NIRC has the largest number of chimpanzees born before 1970 (39 chimps). Of the current population - that we know of - there are 35 elder females and 44 elder males. Chimpanzees are considered elderly beginning at 25 years for males (DOB 1984 or earlier) and 30 years for females (DOB 1979 or earlier).* If you have current or historic information on the chimpanzees held at this facility, please email [email protected].

  • Letter from the Desk of David Challinor March 2007 When I Was
    Letter from the Desk of David Challinor March 2007 When I was seven (1927), I had a small collection of stuffed bears and apes made by Steiff, a German toy company that is still in business. These effigies were about six inches long and their arms and legs moved on simple joints. I loved the apes best, which I am sure were meant to be chimpanzees, but their fur was brown instead of black and their faces were light tan, similar to juvenile chimps. Knowing nothing of these inaccuracies, they were my favorite childhood toys, and I eagerly took them to the beach to share my explorations of the crevices along the rocky shore. My affection for them continued well past the age when I should have been engaged in more adolescent activities. Fast forward 80 years to today as scientists study what the minds of living great apes perceive, an approach that has led to intense debate on the ethics of using chimpanzees as experimental animals in human health research. This month’s letter will trace the change in human attitude towards the use of animals, especially primates, in research and particularly the arguments about ethical conflicts that are just now arising. In adolescence I was a Tarzan movie fan and Johnny Weissmuller (the original Tarzan) had a chimpanzee companion who accompanied him on his jungle adventures. I did not then give the animal much thought, although I admired how well he had been trained. It was about this time that I heard many stories from my parents about a female gorilla that had been raised from infancy in a household in Havana.
