  • LORING WOART BAILEY David W. Black Department of Anthropology, UNB–Fredericton Loring Woart Bailey Was Born at West Point, Virginia, in 1839
    PIONEERS OF NEW BRUNSWICK ARCHAEOLOGY III: LORING WOART BAILEY David W. Black Department of Anthropology, UNB–Fredericton Loring Woart Bailey was born at West Point, Virginia, in 1839. He came from an academic and professional background — his father, Jacob Whitman Bailey, taught chemistry at the Military Academy at West Point. Loring Bailey followed his father into a similar career path. Bailey attended private schools in Maryland and Rhode Island. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, in 1859, and then worked at Harvard for two years as a proctor and as a chemistry professor’s assistant. While at Harvard, he was a taught by some renowned academics of the time, including the geologist Louis Agassiz, the biologist Asa Grey and the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In 1861, Bailey was hired into the Chair of Chemistry and Natural History at the University of New Brunswick, when the post was left vacant by the death of James Robb. At that time, William Brydone Jack, President of UNB, was reorganizing the school on a non-sectarian basis. Loring Bailey was a professor at UNB for 47 years, retiring in 1907. From 1861 to 1900, he was the sole professor of natural science at UNB. He remained associated with the university, and active in scientific studies, until his death in 1925. As a consequence of being hired at UNB, Bailey was safely out of the United States during the American Civil War. Within two years of his arrival in Fredericton, he married Laurestine Maria D’Avray, a daughter of J.

  • Sara Donovan
    Take Action: Greyhound Rescue By: Sara Lee Donovan Step 1: Identify you Concern For my take action project I have decided to look at retired greyhound rescue organizations in Canada. I became interested in retired racing greyhounds in 2005 when I encountered my very first one. Quite large, and unusually timid I was surprised to discover how gentle and incredibly lazy this once racers was. In the summer of 2010, I adopted my first retired racing greyhound, Dark Star, or as he’s better known off the track, “Danny.” It was during the adoption process for Danny that I was overwhelmed by the devotion of the organization’s volunteers. Dedicating their homes, vehicles and their lives to ensuring that each rescued greyhound doesn’t just find a home, but rather their “forever home,” I was astonished at the altruism. The current shift in American gambling culture over the last decade has resulted in the closure of the numerous tracks around the United States. When tracks close the number of dogs that need homes significantly increases and many Canadian as well as American organizations work hard with the tracks to ensure that that every adoptable greyhound finds a home. While I am unsure to as whether or not tracks provide any monetary assistances to American organizations for their facilitation of a humane disbursement of the dogs, I know in Canada that these organizations depends solely on the generosity of others and fundraising. By “taking action” I am hoping to raise awareness, and debunk many of the myths surrounding the breed, and raise funds to donate towards these organizations noble endeavors Step 2: Research Your Concern Prior to beginning this project, it is important to note that I began with an extensive background with regards to the breed, as well as the development of the greyhound racing industry in the United States and the adoption programs that have surfaced.

  • Member Papers Canadian University Press
    HAND BOOK FOR MEMBER PAPERS OF THE CANADIAN UNIVERSITY PRESS PUBLISHED IN MONTREAL BY THE CANADIAN UNIVERSITY PRESS 1938 PREFACE On N_ew Year·s Day, 1938, a dozen editors from college papers throughout the country gathered round a des~ in a hotel in Winnipeg and completed details for what had long been a cherished plan of Canadian univer­ sity journalism. 'There the Canadian University Press, a natiowwide news service, came into existence. Its pur­ pose was to unite into a co,operative organization the newspapers of the leading universities of the Dominion. Success of the C. U.P. was apparent within the first few months of operation. Fourteen papers-dailies, semi,wee~lies, and wee~lies-lin~ed together by tele­ graph, ~ept 25,000 students informed of activities on cam, puses hundreds and thousands of miles away. Student opinion was consolidated, sectionalism was abolished. Among other aims set down by the pioneer editors was a project which this boo~let attempts to carry out -to standardize newspaper style and to incorporate into one handboo~ a set of fundamental rules and suggestions. 'This handboo~ ma~es no pretence of being a text boo~-it has been designed merely to give some general advice to college reporters and copyreaders. Many of the rules presented here are arbitrary. It is just as correct, for example, to write ··Prof. Brown, as .. Professor Brown,,, but for the sa~e of uniformity, the Canadian University Press has adopted the latter style and every member paper is expected to use it. 'The suggestions outlined in this boo~let will not teach the freshman reporter how to write.

  • The Point Lepreau Nuclear Off-Site
    New Brunswick Department of Justice and Public Safety New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization 30 June 2021 Foreword The Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station (PLNGS) has operated safely and efficiently for over 35 years. Since its construction, the emergency program at the PLNGS has been governed by two principle plans: a. the On-Site Plan – this document is specific to New Brunswick Power, and details procedures to be followed by plant staff involving an emergency confined to the facility, and not posing a danger to the public; and b. the Off-Site Plan – this is a Government of New Brunswick (GNB) document, held by the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization (NBEMO). This plan details procedures to be followed for an emergency at PLNGS which would pose danger to the public, and thus would require a coordinated multi- agency response. This plan would require response activities from many GNB departments, as well as external supporting agencies. While the risk to life or the environment from an accidental major release of radionuclides, or other industrial accident, is remote, it is in the interest of the public to be prepared to respond, by having in place effective emergency plans to deal with such events. The Point Lepreau Nuclear Off-Site Emergency Plan contains the basic information, detailed responsibilities, and immediate actions required to safeguard the public and the environment. It contains the specific responses which will be carried out by various agencies to deal with the emergency. The Point Lepreau Nuclear Off-Site Emergency Plan will be reviewed and revised on a yearly basis to reflect changes in technology and assigned emergency management responsibilities.

  • NPA 428 to Overlay NPA 506 (New Brunswick, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letter: PL-549, PL-539, PL-522 ______
    Number: PL- 553 Date: 08 December 2020 From: Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) Subject: NPA 428 to Overlay NPA 506 (New Brunswick, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letter: PL-549, PL-539, PL-522 _____________________________________________________________________ This Planning Letter supersedes PL-549. PL-549 contained an error for the effective date. The new effective date for the introduction of a new Distributed Overlay area code 428 for New Brunswick, Canada is 29 April 2023. In Telecom Decision CRTC 2020-363, dated 28 October 2020, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved the proposed relief implementation plan and relief implementation schedule for New Brunswick area code 506. The plan and schedule are based on an effective date of 29 April 2023 for the introduction of new area code 428 using a Distributed Overlay. The new area code 428 has been assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and will be implemented on the revised Relief Date of 29 April 2023 as a Distributed Overlay over the geographic area of the province of New Brunswick currently served by the 506 area code. Area code 506 consists of 88 Exchange Areas serving the province of New Brunswick which includes the major communities of Bathurst, Campbellton, Edmundston, Fredericton, Miramichi, Moncton, and Saint John. A map showing the location of the area served by NPA 506 and a list of the 88 Exchange Areas are attached to this letter. Commencing on 20 January 2023, many local calls dialled with 7 digits will first be connected to a network announcement notifying callers that the local number they have dialled must be preceded by its area code and that their call will now proceed after which the call will be completed.
