## Televised history

### The Money Game

Until 2003, a game show produced by the Wisconsin Lottery and Hearst-Argyle Television, called *Wisconsin Lottery Money Game*, was aired weekly on the Lottery's network of stations. Contestants won a chance to play the game (and $100) if a scratch ticket contained three "TV" symbols; if not chosen for the main game, would win at least $500 from a pool of money split between them and the other 54 players not chosen. Five contestants would play the game, consisting of four or five rounds where they would choose cash prizes hidden behind the letters **Wisconsin Lottery Moneygame**, which were set up in the style of the *Wheel of Fortune* gameboard, but with reversed play. Here, contestants hit a plunger to light up one of the word rows, then picked one letter in that word. The letter was turned over to reveal the prize, which in the last round was a maximum of $7,500; there were no letters with penalties where money was taken away. The winner of the main game went to the bonus round, where they spun a wheel which had alternating values of $25,000 and $50,000. During the show, new instant games were showcased, along with lottery news, and a second-chance drawing of losing mailed-in tickets (instant and online) was conducted.

The program was taped at WISN-TV in Milwaukee. All contestants (each could bring a guest 18 or older) living outside of the Milwaukee area received a two-night stay at the Grand Milwaukee Hotel (later the Four Points Sheraton-Mitchell Field, which closed at the end of 2012.) for their appearance. Hosts were Mark Johnson and Parker Drew; the show's hostesses were Mary Christine and Lori Minetti. The show's format was changed to a new version known as the *Super Money Game* in mid-2002, involving more contests with a smaller contestant pool, equivalent to a lower-cost version of the Hoosier Lottery's *Hoosier Millionaire*.

### Television network

The Lottery television network consisted of the following stations from 1988 until 2002:

WISN Radio (1130) in Milwaukee aired the drawings on radio until the station's 1997 sale from Hearst to Clear Channel Communications. Several Wisconsin stations picked up the audio portion of the television drawings, though most stations read the winning numbers from Associated Press releases from the Lottery on the mornings after the drawings, which also are published online, in newspapers throughout Wisconsin, *USA Today*, and the border areas of outlying states. Lottery results are also a common feature of the last segments in the state's late newscasts, and a feature of station news tickers.

### Drawings

The Lottery joined the multi-jurisdictional *Lotto\*America* game in 1989. Later, the Lottery began its *Wisconsin's Very Own Megabucks* jackpot drawings after the launch of *Powerball* (which replaced L\*A) in 1992.

The Lottery's nightly drawings, starting in 1991 with the introduction of *Supercash!* (a $250,000 daily six-number game when it began), took place at WISN-TV. Employees who were not part of the station's news department, or employees of WISN Radio and WLTQ, which were owned by Hearst at the time and shared the WISN studios, drew the numbers. In 1993, the Lottery added a Pick 3 game, followed by Pick 4 in 1997. Other games were added by the Lottery, but were not always successful, such as MUSL's *Daily Millions*, which was infamous for having few winners of the $1 million cash prize, and having a complicated drawing procedure involving three number pools and various colored balls. Another MUSL game, *Cash4Life* (not to be confused with the current multi-state game by that name), which offered an annuitized prize of $1,000 per week for life (no cash option was available) with a first-prize win from a 99-ball pool; only four players won that game by its end in 1999. Neither WISN nor the Wisconsin Lottery network televised either game's drawings (held at 9:45pm) due to lack of popularity and their drawing time being during primetime. The *Badger 5* game continues to this day; its play style is found in most U.S. lotteries.

The televised drawings and the *Money Game* were discontinued in late 2002, due to budget constraints and stations moving the show to lower-rated timeslots. The drawings were moved to Madison, where they are conducted around 9:30pm nightly at the Lottery's headquarters building using an air-gapped random number generator machine instead. The stations which were part of the Lottery network continue to receive first priority to release the nightly numbers. The Mega Millions and Powerball drawings now can be aired by any Wisconsin station, although they usually televise the drawings only for large jackpots. Until 2014, the Chicago cable channel WGN America also carried both drawings, as the channel is nearly universally available across the state of Wisconsin, though since then they have not been carried after the network's conversion to a general entertainment format.

On June 14, 2020, the Lottery began to draw Pick 3, Pick 4, and All or Nothing twice daily from Madison; the drawings occur at 1:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. CT daily, and are uploaded to the Lottery's YouTube channel shortly after the numbers are generated.

## Pre-Wisconsin Lottery

The federally recognized Oneida Nation of Wisconsin sold the first "modern" lottery tickets in the state in the 1980s at their reservation near Green Bay, Wisconsin. Before the Wisconsin Lottery began in 1988, some players who did not want to drive to Illinois tried their luck at stores on the reservation. The main game offered by the Oneida Nation was Big Green, which began as a pick-6-of-36 jackpot game.

The Oneida Nation also offered a televised bingo game program on Green Bay stations in the mid-to-late 1980s, which was in the form of a caller reading the numbers on the bottom of the screen, with the lighted number board on the top portion. Winners could redeem winning cards at the tribe's bingo hall. It has since established a full-service gaming casino, known as the Oneida Bingo & Casino, which includes hotel and conference facilities.

## Current lottery-offered online games

### Wisconsin's Megabucks

Wisconsin's Megabucks (once known as "Wisconsin's Very Own Megabucks" to distinguish itself from the "local" name of Lotto\*America), is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays. It draws 6 numbers 1 through 49. Players get 2 sets of numbers for each $1 game they play.

There have been two incarnations of this game, the first incarnation beginning August 10, 1989 and being replaced by Powerball on April 19, 1992 (which was the year Lotto\*America had its final drawing), and the second and current incarnation beginning two months later on June 18, 1992.

## Wisconsin's multi-state games

### Mega Millions

Mega Millions began as *The Big Game* in 1996. Mega Millions was expanded in 2010 to include Wisconsin. Its starting jackpot is $40 million. In 2018 the biggest jackpot was $1.537 billion. Mega Millions is drawn Tuesday and Friday nights. Plays are $2 each, or $3 with the *Megaplier*.

### Powerball

Wisconsin has been a member of MUSL since 1989. Powerball began on April 19, 1992, replacing the original incarnation of Wisconsin’s Megabucks. Its minimum jackpots is $40 million; it is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays. Plays are $2; with the *PowerPlay*, $3.

# Frazier Forman Peters

**Frazier Forman Peters** (July 20, 1895 - February 1963) was an American builder and architect specializing in stone houses. He also wrote books on the subject.

## Career

Peters was born in New York City, the son of the Revd. John Punnett Peters, a noted minister. He worked briefly as a chemical engineer, then settled in Westport, Connecticut, where he became a builder and eventually (ca. 1936) an architect. His first major project was a stone house he built in Westport in the late 1920s for his own family. It featured two living rooms, two offices, and six bedrooms. Difficult economic conditions meant that Peters and his wife were both engaged in small businesses and attempting to be self-sufficient.

In 1936, Peters came to the attention of a Mrs. E. G. Rionda, who later had him design and build a colony of stone houses on her estate in Alpine, New Jersey. At that time, Peters was gaining small commissions by writing articles for design magazines. Frazier was influenced by the work of Ernest Flagg and evolved innovative and cost-effective methods of stone building construction. He described these methods in his books, teaching building methodologies that an ordinary person could use to build their own home. The Great Depression forced Peters to move from Westport to Warwick, New York in 1936. There he eventually established a community, Points of View, populated with stone houses designed and built by him, in one of which he dwelt until his death.

He died of cancer in February 1963. His second wife, Laura \[Stromme\], known to her family as Ted, survived him, dying in 1974.

His granddaughter, architect Laura Blau, co-authored a book, "*Frazier Forman Peters; Westports Legacy in Stone*", (2014) with Robert Weingarten. The book supported and published by the Westport Historical Society, https://westporthistory.org/, catalogs the known Peters houses in Westport. Many Peters' homes exist in the surrounding communities and a few more across the country. Weingarten researched each property's deed history. Blau wrote the biography and history of Peter's career and explores his work including family anecdotes, information on early sustainable design, and signature design and building methods.

# Frazier Chorus

**Frazier Chorus** were an English pop group from Brighton, England. They were known for their unconventional instrumentation, including synthesizers, trumpets, flutes and clarinets, as well as frontman Tim Freeman's "soft, heavily accented ... talk-singing" and sarcastically witty lyrics.

## History

Frazier Chorus was formed in Brighton, England, by Tim Freeman (the brother of actors Martin Freeman and Jamie Freeman, on vocals and keyboards), Michéle Allardyce (percussion), Kate Holmes (flute) and Chris Taplin (clarinet, programming). Original names for the band included both Fishing For Clouds and Plop!, but the band eventually settled on Frazier Chorus, a phrase they'd seen on a jacket for the Frazier College football team's cheerleaders in the United States.

The band first signed to British indie record label 4AD and released the single "Sloppy Heart" in 1987. Shortly afterwards, they moved to Virgin Records and achieved chart success with a string of melodic pop songs taken from their 1989 debut album, *Sue*. Allardyce was eventually dismissed from the band.

Their second album, *Ray*, followed in 1991, and its singles were remixed by a number of top remixers, including Paul Oakenfold, Chad Jackson and Youth. Following the album's release, the band was let go from Virgin after the label was purchased by EMI and began purging a number of its artists; subsequently, Holmes and Taplin fired Freeman before ultimately disbanding entirely. Holmes later moved into electronica via the bands Sirenes, Technique, and Client.

Freeman took several years off and re-emerged in the mid-1990s, resurrecting the band name with permission from Holmes and Taplin. In 1995, Freeman released a mini-album as Frazier Chorus, *Wide Awake*, which did not reach the UK Albums Chart. He later released *Monkey Spunk*, a collection of five demos recorded prior to the sessions for *Wide Awake*, available exclusively via the band's website.

After leaving the band, Holmes became a member of the synthpop band Technique, before joining Dubstar's Sarah Blackwood in the electronic band CLIEͶT in the 2000s.

abstract: The Paris Boys Choir is a boys' choir created in 1956 at Collège Sainte-Croix de Neuilly in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine, France. Louis Prudhomme founded the choir in 1956, as a revival to one of the Collège's oldest institutions: the Schola, an elite choir born at the same time as Sainte-Croix itself and much celebrated at the time by poet and alumnus Henry de Montherlant. Prudhomme significantly developed the choir's activities and built strong ties with the nascent Pueri Cantores federation, instituted by Monseigneur Maillet – the founder of Les Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois – making it one France's utmost children's choirs. In 1985, François Polgár – a Sainte-Croix alumnus who then successively became assistant director of Les Chœurs de l'Opéra de Paris and director of Le Chœur de Radio France – was asked by Prudhomme to succeed him. Faithful to his predecessor's philosophy and impetus, Polgár embarked the choir on a path of radical modernization. Les Petits Chanteurs de Sainte-Croix de Neuilly were redeployed into a "Maîtrise": a specially adapted curriculum was crafted at Sainte-Croix for boy pupils willing to practice intensive choir singing and live a unique experience based on music apprenticeship and teamwork, while pursuing regular academic studies. The choir contributes to the Collège's milestone ceremonies and is at the heart of the students' musical experience. It makes frequent appearances in world-class festivals and regularly performs great pieces with orchestra. Its repertoire also includes a variety of a cappella liturgical and profane songs. Every summer, The Paris Boys Choir go on tour, in France and around the world. They have performed in every region in France, and they have also sung including the US, the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Canada, numerous Eastern European countries. François Polgár trained the actors of the movie Of Gods and Men who were to play monks in the Cistercian and Gregorian chants. French DJ and producer Martin Solveig was a soprano soloist in The Paris Boys Choir as he was a child, under the direction of François Polgár. On its website, The Paris Boys Choir reassess the singer's mission statement: "Through our singing and our actions as 'Missionaries of Peace', we pledge to deepen our spiritual reflection and that of our public. Through our hard work, recordings and live performances, we seek ever improving musical quality and vow to contribute to the renewal of the French children's choir school."

# Peugeot 607

The **Peugeot 607** is an executive car produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from September 1999 to June 2010.

The 607, along with the smaller 407, were superseded by the 508 in March 2011.

## History

The 607 was launched in October 1999, to replace the discontinued 605. It used its predecessor's chassis but had an all-new, more modern exterior design. The engine range (2.2 and 3.0 petrol, and 2.2 diesel) was completely new. Built in Sochaux until March 2009, the assemble of the 607 was transferred to PSA's Rennes plant in July the same year as production was being wound down.

Equipment levels were high, with all models getting air conditioning, CD player, electric windows, 8 airbags, anti-lock braking system, tyre-pressure monitor, and central locking as standard. Available was AMVAR nine-stage electronic damping control.

In France, its home market, the 607 was often chosen for official government use.

## Facelift

The 607 was restyled in November 2004, with the most notable modifications being the new front end and the 2.7 HDi V6 engine, rated at 150 kW (204 PS; 201 bhp), with a new six-speed automatic gearbox, which became also available on the V6 petrol model. The 2.0 and 2.2 diesel engines increased in output and included a 6-speed transmission, like the newly introduced Peugeot 407.

During 2008, the 607 was withdrawn from the United Kingdom, marking the end of right-hand drive 607s.

## Peugeot 607 Paladine

The Peugeot 607 Paladine is a special Landaulet version of the 607 which was developed and built in 2000 in cooperation with Heuliez, as a concept car. The engine is the 3.0 V6. It is lengthened by 500 millimetres (20 in) (making it 5.4 m (210 in) long), and the rear part is equipped with a retractable metallic roof similar to the Peugeot 206's or 307's CC. It is a one off design.

The special leather interior was developed in cooperation with Hermès.

The car was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2000. It was used seven years later by then French President Nicolas Sarkozy for his inauguration on May 16, 2007. Meanwhile, the car had been retrofitted with the 2004 restyling of the 607 (updated front end).

## Successor

In November 2009, Philippe Varin from PSA announced that the successor of the Peugeot 607 would not be called the Peugeot 608, but instead the Peugeot 508. The 508 also replaced the smaller Peugeot 407.

In addition to that, the car won both the driver’s and the team’s title at the World Sportscar Championship in the 1992 season.

## History

### Inception

In November 1988 Peugeot Talbot Sport, established under the control of Jean Todt at Vélizy-Villacoublay, in the suburbs of Paris, announced the launch of the 905 project to compete in the 1991 World Sportscar Championship using the new rules which the 1991 season would introduce.

Technically advanced, the 905 used a carbon fiber chassis engineered by Dassault and a light alloy *SA35-A1* 3499 cc naturally aspirated V10 engine that was similar to F1 engines of the time. The 905 was built at Vélizy-Villacoublay and was officially unveiled on the 4th of July 1990 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, with Jean-Pierre Jabouille driving.

The car made its racing debut in the final two races of the 1990 season with Jabouille and Keke Rosberg sharing the wheel. Although the car was slower than the contemporary Group C Sports Prototypes, it was notably quicker than the other 3.5 litre Sports-Prototypes which raced in that season.

### 1991 season

The 905 began its first full season in the World Sportscar Championship in 1991. Although the car was now quicker than the 1990 version, and indeed the heavily penalised Group C cars that were allowed to race, in the early part of the season the 905 suffered some performance and reliability problems but, more crucially for Peugeot, the car was a lot slower than the standard-setting Jaguar XJR-14 \- a car that was able to match the lap times of most contemporary F1 cars (but not those of top cars such the Williams-Renault and McLaren-Honda cars that were at least 2 to 3 seconds faster per lap).

The car was, however, able to obtain a lucky win at the Suzuka Circuit. Unfortunately, at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans, both cars entered did not last past the four-hour mark.

To counter Jaguar in the remaining races of the championship the 905 was heavily revised, primarily in aerodynamics. Carrying over only the cockpit of the previous car, the evolutionary 905B was created. With the more notable changes consisting of a two-tier rear wing and an optional full-width front wing, including a more powerful *SA35-A2* engine, the 905B made its race debut at the Nürburgring round of the 1991 series. These advancements allowed the team to finish the year winning at Magny-Cours and Mexico with back-to-back 1-2 wins, thus completing the season in second place overall.

### 1992 season

The 905B became one of only two factory efforts involved in the 1992 World Sportscar Championship season alongside Toyota, who were competing in their first season under the 3.5-litre regulations using the TS010. This meant that only the 1992 24 Hours of Le Mans showed a strong competition among the Group C cars. The 905B was successful, bringing 2 of the team's 3 cars home in 1st and 3rd overall.

### 1993 season

For 1993, the World Sportscar Championship ceased to exist but were permitted to run at Le Mans in 1993 and 1994. However, prior to the announcement of its cancellation, Peugeot had begun the development of the 905 Evolution 2 to compete in the 1993 season. This car, which was tested for a few laps in practice at the final race of the 1992 season at Magny-Cours was never finished, leaving Peugeot to concentrate solely on 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Evo 1B. They were able to make a historic win by sweeping the first three positions. Following this dominance, Peugeot pulled out of sportscar racing.

Peugeot decided to switch to Formula One, using the same 3.5L V10 from the 905 that was easily adjusted to F1 regulations. In 1994, Peugeot debuted as an engine supplier with the McLaren team and remained in F1 until the end of the 2000 season, when, after little success, they decided to concentrate on the World Rally Championship, where their factory team had had some success, winning the title on several occasions. However, Peugeot withdrew its works WRC operation at the end of the 2005 season, and returned to Le Mans for the 2007 24 Hours, with the new 908 HDi FAP prototype entry.

# Frederick R. Lehlbach

**Frederick Reimold Lehlbach** (January 31, 1876 – August 4, 1937) was an American lawyer and politician. As a Republican, Lehlbach served as the U.S. representative for New Jersey's 10th congressional district from 1915 to 1933 and as the representative from New Jersey's 12th congressional district from 1933 to 1937. Lehlbach was also the nephew of Herman Lehlbach, a former U.S. Representative from New Jersey's 6th congressional district who served from 1885 to 1891.

## Biography

Lehlbach was born in New York City on January 31, 1876, and lived there until he was eight years old. At that point, he moved with his parents to Newark, New Jersey. He graduated from Yale University in Connecticut in 1897, and then went on to attend New York Law School. He was admitted to the bar in February 1899 and he started his law practice in Newark, obtaining his first legal experience in the office of Pitney & Hardin there. He served on the city's Board of Education from 1900 to 1903, and then served in the State House of Assembly until 1905. Lehlbach then served as the clerk of the state board of equalization of taxes from April 3, 1905, until his resignation on April 14, 1908, when he was appointed to the position of assistant prosecutor of Essex County. Lehlbach continued to serve as the assistant prosecutor until April 6, 1913, when he resigned in order to restart the practice of law.

## Politics

Lehlbach ran as a candidate from the Republican Party in the 1914 United States House election. He defeated the incumbent Democrat Edward W. Townsend, capturing 47.5% of the vote, in contrast to Townsend's 42.4%. After soundly defeating his opponent in the 1916 House election, he faced a tough election in 1918. He did manage to win the election with a slim 2.2% majority, in a close race with Democrat Dallas Flannagan.

In the 66th United States Congress through 68th United States Congress, Lehlbach served as the chairman of the Committee on Reform in the Civil Service. In 1924, Lehlbach was a delegate at the Republican National Convention. He later served as chairman for the Committee on Civil Service in the 69th United States Congress through 71st United States Congress. After serving 18 years as the representative of the 10th district, Lehlbach was moved to New Jersey's 12th congressional district. In the 1936 House election, Lehlbach was up for re-election against Democrat Frank W. Towey, Jr. In a heated battle, Lehlbach lost his election bid by capturing 49.6% of the vote in comparison to Towey's 49.9%.

After losing the election, Lehlbach went back to practicing law in Washington, D.C., and continued to do so until his death by heart attack at the age of 61 on August 4, 1937. He was later buried in Fairmount Cemetery in Newark.

## Early life

Frederic was the fourth son of Colonel John Race Godfrey and Jane Octavia Woodhouse. He was born at Bellary, India on 11 May 1828 and educated at Exeter Grammar School, England. In 1847 at the age of 19 he came to Port Phillip aboard the sailing ship, "Duke of Roxburgh" to join his brother, Henry Godfrey on Boort Station, where he became a partner.

He was one of the pioneers of irrigation in Victoria, having in 1850 converted the Boort swamp into a fine lake by a cutting from the Loddon River, now known as Lake Boort, on the shores of which stands the town of Boort, with its main street bearing the name of Godfrey.

Boort is aboriginal for 'smoke', and Bald Hill, where the town now stands, was a signalling ground for the Aboriginals living in the area.

When the station was sold in 1863, Frederic Race Godfrey bought Pevensey Station, Hay, New South Wales, with his brother in law, Frank a’Beckett Chambers, who occupied the position of overseer, and F. R. Godfrey resided at Mt. Ridley, Craigieburn, which he had leased from his relative, Captain James Pearson and used it as a depot for sheep which were sent to Melbourne market from Pevensey Station. He also engaged in agricultural pursuits at Mt. Ridley, where he resided for 17 years.

He also acted on the committee for the reservation of Wilson's Promontory as a sanctuary for native flora and fauna. He was a member of the first Committee of the Felton Bequest, Melbourne Art Gallery, serving from 1904–1909. He was Founder and Vice President of the Philatelic Society of Victoria, in August 1892. He was a Justice of the Peace for many years and was also prominent in the commercial life of Victoria, being one of the founders and an original Director of the Trustees, Executors and Agency Company Limited, Melbourne, and Chairman of Directors 1895–1909.

**Frederick Ruple** (September 19, 1871 - May 23, 1938) was a 20th-century Swiss-American painter, primarily of portraits. He was commissioned to paint Confederate Civil War battle scenes and murals. At times Ruple lived in Arkansas and Oklahoma where he traveled to study American Indians and early settlement in the Midwest. The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 inspired Ruple to create his most famous painting "The Spirit of '89".

As a painter, Ruple took commission jobs that came from builders and decorators who hired him to paint murals and designs on public buildings. The work he did along these lines was among the most prominent in America.

## Early life

Frederick Ruple was born on September 19, 1871, in Unterhallau, a part of Hallau, in the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His parents were butcher Hermann Rupli and Barbara Neukomm.

Hermann Rupli wandered off to America without his family on May 24, 1872. Hermann and Barbara were divorced on November 12, 1874, according to Schaffhausen court records. Frederick was 3 years old at that time.

Frederick's mother relocated to Basel in 1885, when Frederick was 14 years old. Barbara Neukomm was registered in the address book of Basel in 1885 at the address Mattweg 53rd, from 1886 to 1891. She worked as a housekeeper at the address 30 Greifengasse, Basel. When Frederick Ruple was 14 he became an apprentice to an artificial limb manufacturer. In the summer of 1887, he attended the General school. When he was 16 years old he lived in Spores Gasse 16, Basel. He was in training as a photographer with Emil Gassler, at Aeschenvorstadt 42. On Gassler's poster it says in German: "Photographien in allen grossen portrait in oel"; in English this is: "Photographs in all sizes, portraits in oil".

In 1891, at age 19, Ruple immigrated with his mother to America. Around this time, his last name changed from Rupli to Ruple.

In the United States he first lived with his mother's sister in Cincinnati. During this time, an art dealer saw his drawings and ordered a copy of a photograph in colors, which was the first such piece of work sold in that country.

Ruple, while still a young man, moved to Little Rock to become the protégé of Mrs. James P. Eagle, wife of the state's governor at the time, and his work of painting portraits began. Governor Eagle, General Forest and other prominent men of the state sat for him.

## Personal life

After three years in America he married Almira C. King on December 25, 1894, in Belmont, Ohio. Almira was born June 1873, in West Virginia.

The 1900 U.S. Federal Census stated that Frederick (28) and Almira (26) lived in Lonoke, Arkansas; had been married for six years; and had a three-year-old son, Frederick D. Ruple. The boy was born on November 6, 1897, in New York in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The 1910 stated that Frederick and Almira had 2 sons and a daughter: Frederick D. (13 and born in Ohio); George W. (6 and born in Arkansas); and Almira C. (3 years old and born in Pennsylvania) living in their home in Ruddell township, Independence, Arkansas.

The 1920 Census stated that the couple were renting a home in Batesville, Independence, Arkansas.

An obituary in Southwest Times Record on March 7, 1925, reported that Almira (Mollie) (King) Ruple died March 5, 1925, in her home at 600 South 2 Twenty-First Street, while her family survived.

The 1930 stated that Frederick was by then married to Mildred Ruple (age 31), and that they lived with their son Robert Ruple (2) and daughter Mary Louise (six months) in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Fred and Myra also lived with them.

Frederick had his Fayetteville studio on the public square, along with a private painting school. Many of his paintings hung in private homes. Mary Louise attended Helen Dunlop Memorial School at Winslow before attending the University of Arkansas. George died from tuberculosis on September 13, 1934.

In 1936, Frederick Ruple resided at 2647 N Norfolk avenue in Tulsa, OK, and by 1938 he lived at 1505 S Columbia, Tulsa, OK, where he battled with poor health and died from a heart attack on May 23, 1938, in his house.

## Major works

### The Spirit of '89

The painting depicts the initial moments of the opening of Oklahoma for homesteading in 1889. The painting's central figure is Major Gordon W. Lillie (Pawnee Bill, the famous scout), who can be seen in his full scout outfit leading the run. The painting measures 9 feet by 12 feet (with frame).

Lew Wentz, a businessman from Ponca City, bought "The Spirit of '89". He presented it to Ponca City, which in turn gave it to the Oklahoma Historical Society, in whose building it now hangs.

### Civil war paintings

Ruple's paintings from the US Civil War include depictions of Confederates battle scenes. His "Battle of Paris 1862" depicts a skirmish near Forrest Heights on the west side of the city, on March 11, 1862. The painting "General Nathan Bedford Forrest" depicts the Confederate war hero at the Battle at Bogler's Creek, Alabama, mounted on King Phillip with his sword drawn, surrounded by federals.

Ruple depicts the Battle of Brice's Crossroads, fought on June 10, 1864, in his painting "Edmund Winchester Rucker". The work shows General Forrest mounted on King Phillip, his sword sheathed, surrounded by his men.

### Other major works

The painting "Tribal Camp Fire" hangs in the John Burroughs school building in Tulsa, OK.

While in Fayetteville he painted portraits of Dr. H. D. Wood and Major D. R. Davidson.

### Portraits

Most of Ruple's fame came from celebrity portraits in Arkansas and Oklahoma, such as Confederate Generals and known politicians. His subjects included former United States Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma; Supreme Court Judge U.M. Rose of Little Rock, Ark.; the father of Senator Joe Robinson; J.S. Parks and E. B. Kinsworthy, former Attorney-General of Arkansas; Mrs. Walter Ferguson, newspaper columnist; her husband, Arkansas Senator Caraway.; Judge Thomas of Muskogee, and William Busy of McAlester. William Busy of McAlester

In Batesville, Fayetteville and Fort Smith, Arkansas a number of his portraits survive.

### Murals

Paul Heerwagen was an interior decorator who used Frederick Ruple to paint the four murals in the Capital Building in Little Rock, murals in the Strand Theater in Shreveport, LA, and murals of the Sahara Shrine Temple at Pine Bluff.

# Phaenicophaeus

***Phaenicophaeus*** is a genus of seven species of cuckoos in the family Cuculidae that are found in South and Southeast Asia.

## Taxonomy

The genus *Phaenicophaeus* was introduced in 1815 by the English naturalist James Francis Stephens. He included three species in the genus but in 1940 James L. Peters designated one of these, *Cuculus pyrrhocephalus* Pennant, 1769 (the red-faced malkoha), as the type species. The genus name is from Ancient Greek φοινικοφαης (*phoinikophaēs*) meaning "of crimson appearance" or "red-gleaming".

## Species

The genus contains seven species.

**Petneháza** is a village in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.

## History

### The jewish community

The census of 1770 mentions Jews who lived in Petneháza. Most of them worked as merchants. The Jewish community was organized at the beginning of the 19th century. During the Schism in Hungarian Jewry, following the Hungarian Jewish Congress in 1869, 1868 the community joined the Orthodox stream. There were synagogue, two cemeteries and mikveh.

In 1941 young Jews from Petneháza were taken to forced labor, and only one of them survived.

In March 1944, about a month after the German army entered Hungary, the Jews of Petneháza were taken to Nyíregyháza, and from there were sent a few weeks later to the Auschwitz extermination camp.

# Ninon Vallin

**Eugénie "Ninon" Vallin** (8 September 1886   22 November 1961) was a French lyric soprano who achieved considerable popularity in opera, operetta and classical song recitals during an international career that lasted for more than four decades.

## Career

Eugénie Vallin was born at Montalieu-Vercieu, a small town about 30 miles east of Lyon. She studied at the Lyon Conservatoire and later in Paris. At first she had no intention of performing opera, preparing herself for a career on the concert platform. In 1911 she was chosen by Claude Debussy to sing the part of the celestial voice in the first performance of his *Le martyre de Saint Sébastien*. She continued her association with Debussy, giving the première of his *Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé* in 1914 at the Salle Gaveau in Paris, accompanied by the composer. She also worked extensively with other contemporary composers, including Albert Roussel, Joaquín Nin-Culmell, and Reynaldo Hahn; the latter two accompanied her in recordings of their own works.

She was first persuaded to sing opera in 1912, appearing in a number of roles at the Opéra-Comique, including Micaëla (in *Carmen*), Mimì (in *La bohème*), Clara in *Les cadeaux de Noël*, and the title role in *Louise*. She went on to make her début at the Teatro Colón, as Marguerite (in *Faust*) in 1916, returning there regularly over the next 20 years. She made other débuts at Milan's La Scala (in 1916), Rome (1917), the Paris Opéra, as Thaïs, (1920) and San Francisco opera (1934).

The range of roles which she undertook was unusually varied in their vocal requirements: Manon, Charlotte (in *Werther*), Juliette (in *Roméo et Juliette*), Marguerite (in *Faust*), Mignon, Zerlina (in *Don Giovanni*) and Mélisande. She also sang the trio of heroines in *The Tales of Hoffmann*.

Vallin had a great affection for French operetta, and performed works by Lecocq, Massé, and Chabrier; she even ventured into music hall during the 1930s, singing at the Alhambra in Paris. Such was her popularity in her native country that she also appeared in a 1937 film, *Madelon's Daughter*.

Vallin worked with most of the leading French singers of her era, including the renowned tenor Georges Thill, whom she disliked. Her voice was that of a good-sized lyric soprano, well balanced but strongest in its middle and lower registers; but, at her peak, she was also capable of singing high coloratura, as recordings of arias by Bellini and Donizetti illustrate. Her tone was cool and clear, with exemplary enunciation. Louise, Charlotte and Manon became her signature roles. Her performances were described by the critic André Tubeuf as the "epitome of good singing but also of good taste". Sound technique supported both her versatility and the durability of her career; as late as 1946, when she was 60, she sang the Countess (in *Le nozze di Figaro*) and she continued singing and recording into the 1950s. Between 1953 and 1959, she was a guest professor at the Conservatory in Montevideo.

## Death

She died in 1961, aged 75, at La Sauvagère, her estate at Millery, near Lyon.

## Recordings

Ninon Vallin left a considerable output of 78-rpm recordings, dating from 1913 until the early 1950s, which can be heard on CD reissues. Many of them consist of operatic arias but there are also notable discs of French *mélodies* by Fauré, Chausson and Hahn. Among the complete or semi-complete opera recordings in which she featured were:

* *Louise* (abridged); conducted by Eugène Bigot in 1935;
* *Werther*; conducted by Elie Cohen in 1931, with Georges Thill as the tenor lead, in what is still considered to be the finest, most idiomatic recording of this work; and
* Les noces de Jeannette, conducted by Laurent Halet in 1922.

1. Vallin's birthday is given variously as 7, 8 or 9 September, but her birth certificate states 8 September.

# Sant'Agostino, Padua

**Sant'Agostino** is a former Gothic-style church in Padua, region of Veneto, Italy. It was razed to the ground in 1819 by the Austrian authorities to construct a military hospital.

## History

This large church, and its adjacent Dominican order convent, was located next to the Ponte di Sant'Agostino. It was described by the historian Pietro Selvatico as "without doubt the most beautiful medieval building in Padua after the Basilica di Sant'Antonio". In structure, it resembled San Nicolo in Treviso.

The architect was Leonardo Murario, called il Rocalica, and was built between 1226 and 1275 under the patronage of Nicolò di Boccassio, Bishop of Padua and future pope Benedict XI. Many members of the Carrara family, lords of Padua during 1318 to 1405, were buried here. Their tombs were moved to the church of the Eremitani prior to demolition. Some of the columns were reused by the architect Giuseppe Jappelli, in the building now used by the Liceo Artistico Pietro Selvatico. The building is now the caserma Piave, where a fragment of a fresco by Guariento, originally in the church was discovered.

# Mr. Lucky (Harold Mabern album)

***Mr. Lucky: A Tribute to Sammy Davis Jr.*** is an album by pianist Harold Mabern. It was recorded in 2012 and released in the same year by HighNote Records.

## Recording and music

The album was recorded on May 10, 2012, at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. The material, as the sub-title suggests, relates to entertainer Sammy Davis Jr., and consists of "a mix of songs from musicals, movies and Davis' hit records." For most of the tracks, pianist Harold Mabern plays with tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, bassist John Webber and drummer Joe Farnsworth. "Hey There" is a solo piano performance, and "What Kind of Fool Am I" is played by the trio without Alexander. The album was produced by Mabern and Don Sickler.

*Mr. Lucky* was released by HighNote Records in 2012. The *JazzTimes* reviewer commented that, "precious few records swing so efficiently and reliably as *Mr. Lucky*." The AllMusic review ended with the line: "Hopefully this outstanding addition to Harold Mabern's discography will inspire U.S. labels to record the veteran on a more frequent basis." On All About Jazz reviewers were divided, Jack Bowers noted "Mabern never wavers when it is his turn to shine, swinging freely and happily through every number while endorsing the premise that, perhaps, Sammy Davis Jr. was lucky after all to have admirers like Mabern and crew singing his praises more than two decades after his passing" while Greg Simmons felt "Pianist Harold Mabern's *Mr. Lucky* is a bon-bon: all sugar, with no protein or vitamins ... in the end, *Mr. Lucky* is disappointing. This is a really talented band, capable of far greater than what was turned in here. Put this one on during a dinner party. It's lively and it won't offend anyone, but it doesn't say anything either".
