Wolli Creek Regional Park

The **Wolli Creek Regional Park** is a 50 hectares (120 acres) regional park, located adjacent to Wolli Creek within the Wolli Creek Valley, between Bexley North and Tempe in south-west Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The park was announced by the Government of New South Wales in 1998 as a result of sustained community campaigning for the area to be preserved and for the M5 East Freeway to go underground. Whilst some of the park has been formed and management handed over from local government authorities to the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, including the 8.9 hectares (22 acres) Girrahween Park, Turrella Reserve, and some privately held land that was compulsorily acquired, some areas of the originally planned park remain in the hands of government agencies including Sydney Water and Roads & Maritime Services.

When complete, the planned nature reserve will offer easy public transport access, family picnic areas, extensive views and bushland, rugged sandstone escarpments with walking tracks, a mixture of parkland, heathland, and woodland forest, and great birdwatching in close proximity to heavily developed residential and industrial landscape.

To get there, visitors can get there by bike or public transport. It is close to Turella and Bardwell Park stations. Visitors can also go there by:

Take Hannam Street, Loftus Street, or Reede Street towards the East Hills railway line from Turrella. Cross the footbridge to Turrella Reserve from here.

Head north on Hartill-Law Ave from Bardwell Park, then turn right into Fauna Street. Follow the signs to the Girrahween picnic spot.

Take Hocking Avenue off of Homer Street in Earlwood, then the first left onto Banks Road. Turn right onto Arncliffe Road and head towards Turrella Reserve after 300 metres.

## European settlement alters the ecological balance of the area

In Pre-European times the Wolli Valley was home to the Bidjigal clan who relied on the bushland for food and shelter. After European settlement land uses began to effect the ecology of the area by drastically changing the animals and plants found here. Trees were cut down and the cleared land used for orchards, market gardens, dairies, poultry and pig farming. Later European settlement affected the landforms of the area. The land was used for noxious industries such as making tallow from animal carcasses and wool scouring. The construction of the Illawarra railway in 1882 altered the flow of Wolli Creek and caused floodwater to drain into it. In 1890 construction of a sewer network began for the drainage of Sydney's suburbs. Small scale stone quarrying on the Earlwood side of Wolli Creek occurred during the 19th and early 20th Century and the sandstone was used for local buildings. The old quarry is located in the bushland below Highcliff Road, east of Turrella Reserve. A dam was built on the Cooks River at Tempe which caused problems in the flow of Cooks River and Wolli Creek. These historical land uses have resulted in changes to flow regimes, soils and vegetation within the park.

## A regional park in an urban matrix

Wolli Creek regional park is located in an area of medium to low density housing mixed with industrial and commercial landholding. Parts of the park are steep and the land was unsuitable for housing, therefore native bushland was left undisturbed. A rail corridor runs parallel with the Park on the south side of Wolli Creek and Sydney Airport is 1 km away with aircraft and train noise affecting the park. Wolli Creek itself is not included in the Regional Park. The surrounding urban land use negatively impacts on the park with weed invasion, stormwater run off, rubbish dumping and the presence of feral and introduced animals.

## Management of the Park – protecting biodiversity

The Regional Park consists of bushland of varying quality (some of it very high quality), as well as wetlands, open grass, mangroves and endangered saltmarsh communities. The native plants here are remnants of the flora that existed in the Sydney region before European settlement. This type of bushland is extremely rare in the inner city areas of Sydney and should be declared an endangered ecological community In order to effectively manage the biodiversity of the Park, it is important know what plants and animal species exist here. In the past only snap shot type surveys have been done. Opportunities exist for volunteers to help with surveys of the Park's animal and plant species.

Fragmentation of habitat is the number one threat to biodiversity. Currently this Regional Park is an isolated fragment of habitat amidst the urban matrix. Linking up parks and reserves with habitat corridors is an effective way to help animals move into the area and stop the local extinction of species. It is hoped that as the habitat quality of the Park improves (and habitat corridors increase within urban Sydney), more animal species will be found here. Future planning and management of the Park will focus on ensuring long term maintenance and enhancement (where appropriate) of the Park's biodiversity. It is critical to undertake co-operative vegetation management with adjoining property managers (local council, private landowners, CityRail, Sydney Water) and to establish connections to the wider web of natural environments, especially canopy connections.

The National Parks and wildlife service (NPWS) is strongly focussed on the regeneration and enhancement of the Park's natural systems. Management of the Park will consolidate and conserve the existing quality habitats and communities (particularly the bushland) and provide refuges for fauna in undisturbed areas of Park. There is a need to ensure all park management activities minimise the impact on fauna habitat. This regional park is important sanctuary for biodiversity. There is much left to research and discover.

## Flora

The flora of the area has around 360 species of native plants identified, including Tassell Sedge (*Carex fascicularis*) which is uncommon in the Sydney basin. There is still much that hasn't been exhaustively searched, in 2015 there was the discovery of a number of regenerating Woody Pear (*Xylomelum pyriforme*) seedlings with a mature plant nearby.

There are several remnant vegetation communities within the Regional park which are listed below:

**A Eucalypt woodland: Sydney Sandstone Gully Complex community 10ag**

Located at Girahween Park. It comprises Smooth-barked Apple (Angophora costata), Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis), Sydney Peppermint (Eucalyptus piperita), Red Bloodwood (Eucalyptus gummifera) and Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera). There is a varied understorey with Banksia (Banksia serrata), Teatree (Leptospurmum polygalifolium), Sunshine Wattle (Acacia terminalis). On shallow rock outcrops and ridgelines, thickets of Tick Bush (Kunzea ambigua) are dominant.

**Closed-forest community: sub category of the Sydney Sandstone Gully Complex 10ag**

Occurs adjacent to Wolli Creek in the western end of the park. Characterised by Coachwood (Ceratopetalum apetalum) and Water Gum (Tristaniopsis laurina).

**Mangroves and associated endangered saltmarsh communities: Estuarine Complex 4a**

Occur on the banks of Wolli Creek downstream of Turella, at Henderson Weir. Saltmarsh are listed as threatened communities under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW).

**Freshwater wetland**

One remnant wetland (offstream) survives upstream of Hartill Law Avenue, although it is threatened by active weed invasion. The remaining creekline vegetation within the freshwater sections of Wolli Creek are dominated by exotic species.

### Threats to Native Plants

Within the wetland saltmarsh communities are under pressure from expanding areas of mangrove plants and negative impacts of urban land use. Weed species occupy many areas especially close to Wolli Creek and take over from the native vegetation. Invasive and noxious species include the Wandering Jew (*Tradescantia fluminensis*), Blackberry (*Rubus fruticosus*) and Lantana (*Lantana Camara*), which is listed as a key threatening process in Schedule 3 of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The main threat from exotic plants is from vine species (because they threaten tree canopies), grasses such as Kikuyu (*Pennisetum clandestinum*) which can smother saltmarshes, and invasion of saline areas and reed beds by Spiny Rush (*Juncus acutus*), Alligator Weed (*Alternanthera philoxeriodes*) and Ludwigia (*Ludwigia peruviana*). Weed removal continues slowly as part of the bush regeneration work.

## Caring for the bushland

The vegetation of the park along Wolli Creek is maintained by the Wolli Creek Preservation Society whose volunteers engage in a variety of activities, including bush regeneration. The park supports a great diversity of native plants and animals, including birds and Grey-headed flying foxes, and provides exceptional recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors.

## Fauna

### Amphibians

Frogs are under threat worldwide. A survey within the area predicted certain common frog species would be present because the area is within their range, however these species were universally absent. Fewer than half of the original frog species remain in the Park and seven species have become locally extinct. One of these locally extinct frogs is the Green and Golden Bell Frog (Endangered in NSW under the Threatened Species Conservation Act). It is no longer found here due to the loss of habitat. The Regional Park is in a very degraded landscape and changing ecosystem dynamics has perhaps favoured one species over another, with the Brown Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peronii) displacing the Green and Golden Bell Frog (*Litoria aurea*). The degraded wetlands found within the Park have high siltation and shallow thickly vegetated habitat which is favoured by Striped Marsh Frogs (Schell & Bergin 2003) whereas the Green and Golden Bell Frog needs deeper water bodies with less dense fringing vegetation. The frog species identified in the area for the period between 1997 and 2004 are the Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog (*Litoria fallax*), Peron's Tree Frog (*Litoria peronii*), Green Tree Frog (*Litoria caerulea*), Common Eastern Froglet (*Crinia signifera*) and the Brown Striped Marsh Frog (*Limnodynastes peronii*) There may be more species of frog as yet unrecorded within the Park and further studies are needed. It is important to find out whether the Green and Golden Bell Frog has re-established a population from nearby populations living along the lower Cooks River.

### Reptiles

#### Lizards, geckos, dragons and skinks

The species found here include Eastern blue-tongue lizard (*Tiliqua scincoides*), Jacky lizard (*Amphibolurus muricatus*), Eastern water dragon (*Physignathus lesueurii*) and broad-tailed gecko (*Phyllurus platurus*).

A number of skink species are still extant, including the bar-sided skink (*Eulamprus tenuis*), Eastern water skink (*Eulamprus quoyii*) and copper-tailed skink (*Ctenotus taeniolatus*). Both grey-brown and yellow dragons have been observed near Nannygoat Hill.

#### Snakes

Red-bellied black snake (*Pseudechis porphyriacus*) is the only snake species recently seen within the Park. Other snake species which have been historically recorded (but not sighted in recent times) include, the black-bellied swamp snake (*Hemiaspis signata*) and the Eastern brown snake (*Pseudonaja textilis*).

#### Turtles

The Eastern long-necked turtle (*Chelodina longicollis*) is the only turtle species found within the park. Despite being widespread in highly modified Sydney water catchments, urban populations are not well understood. The species is able to utilise modern urbanised waterways successfully compared with other Australian freshwater turtles because it has a preference for shallow and ephemeral bodies of water. It is highly mobile species and able to migrate overland after rain. Hatchlings have been observed at a large distance from the creek and they often have trouble moving through the introduced Kikuyu Grasses (*Pennisetum clandestinum*). Although this species has the ability to disperse, more bodies of water are being lost due to a continuing demand for urban consolidation and habitat connectivity between populations is low. The future for these taxa in urban Sydney is precarious because of the degraded urban environment (with continual loss of habitat), low recruitment to the population and the risk of predation.

### Mammals

The common brushtail possum (*Trichosurus vulpecula*), and microbat species, Gould's wattled bat (*Chalinolobus gouldii*) and the common bent-wing bat (*Miniopterus schreibersii*), appeared to be the only surviving native mammals in the area.

In 2007, a grey-headed flying-fox (*Pteropus poliocephalus*) camp was established on the south side of Wolli Creek in an area not easily accessible to the public. The camp initially involved 1,000 animals, the population has increased and, as at 2016, up to 20,000 individuals may be present at the site at different times of year. The grey-headed flying-fox is listed as Vulnerable on Schedule 2 of the NSW *Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995* and is listed as Vulnerable under the Commonwealth *Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999*. Due to habitat destruction and an increased food availability in cities, bat camps are increasingly common in urban areas, causing conflict with humans due to noise and the destruction of fruit trees.

Occasional suggestive diggings in the Wolli Valley area have not yet confirmed the presence of the long-nosed bandicoot (*Perameles nasuta*). This species is listed as endangered under the NSW *Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995*. A population survives in suburbs adjoining the Regional Park. They are threatened by foxes and risks associated with urbanisation such as danger from traffic.

### Introduced animals

Foxes, cats, rabbits, house mice and black rats have been observed on this reserve. These introduced animals may have modified the biological community over the long period of their occupation. Some native animal and plant species may have been eliminated from this reserve due to predation and competition from introduced species. The risk of local extinctions continues with the presence of foxes. Foxes have been listed as a key threatening process under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995.

### Birds

Many species of birds of eucalypt woodlands of southern Australia are declining in numbers. There are many causes of this decline; clearing, fragmentation and degradation of woodlands. These factors combine with ecological factors such as difficulties in dispersing among remnants, interspecific competition, nest predation, and decline resources, such as food. Management, especially rehabilitation and revegetation, may assist some woodland birds with common species responding well, but bird species that require mature trees do not. This Regional Park forms part of an important west-east corridor of habitat for avian migrants. The Park is a significant connecting habitat link for birds moving across Sydney's urban south and for migrants moving in a north-south direction. Newly established breeding residents include the Nankeen night heron (*Nycticorax caledonicus*) and the Variegated fairy wren (*Malurus lamberti*).

Sightings of the powerful owl (*Ninox strenua*) are rare within the Park; an adult was discovered soon after the establishment of the grey-headed flying fox camp. It is estimated that the total number of adult powerful owls within the Sydney urban landscape is 120. The habitat quality and the population of mammal species is increasing in the park. It is hoped that a pair will soon breed here. Powerful owls feed almost exclusively on large tree-dwelling mammals, especially the common ringtail possum and the grey–headed flying-fox, but they also take a few large birds. The Sydney population often nests near bushwalking pathways and has successfully raised chicks in areas of high human disturbance. Powerful owls prefer native trees but will also use trees considered weed species. To conserve the Powerful Owl, we need to be aware of the habitat it uses and whether numbers are increasing or decreasing.

## Recreation

Bushwalkers and birdwatchers can enjoy the valley using the Two Valley Trail, and reserves such as Girrawheen Park and Turrella Reserve for picnics and other recreational activities. Access to the park is available through adjacent suburban streets and railway stations located at Tempe, Turrella, Bardwell Park, and Bexley North.

The Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Committee on Legislative Organization acts as the governing body overseeing the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau and selects the director, who employs and oversees all bureau staff. The director is Richard A. Champagne.

## History

The Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau traces its origin to the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Library, which was established by an act of the Legislature in 1901 (1901 Wisc. Act 168). The Legislative Reference Library was a first-of-its-kind Progressive Era innovation which sought to utilize the expertise of the University of Wisconsin and the resources of Wisconsin's state law library to improve the quality and consistency of the lawmaking process in the Legislature. The Wisconsin Legislative Reference Library became a model for the Congressional Research Service, which opened in 1914.

The Library's duties were expanded over the years. They became responsible for bill drafting in 1907 (1907 Wisc. Act 508), and became responsible for compiling and publishing the *Blue Book* in 1929 (1929 Wisc. Act 194). The Legislative Reference Library was renamed to the Legislative Reference Bureau in 1963.

Initially under the supervision of the Free Library Commission, the 1963 law also placed the bureau under the supervision of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Legislative Organization.

# Mr. Lucky (TV series)

***Mr. Lucky*** is a CBS adventure/drama television series that aired from 1959 to 1960. The title character, played by John Vivyan, was an honest professional gambler who used his plush floating casino, the ship Fortuna, as his base of operations. His good friend Andamo helped him run the casino.

Blake Edwards developed the program as a retooling of his Willie Dante character from *Four Star Playhouse*, in which the role of a former gambler who operates Dante's Inferno, a San Francisco, California, nightclub, was played by Four Star studio boss Dick Powell.

Edwards directed and co-wrote the first episode of *Mr. Lucky*, and the credits of the first eighteen episodes included the text, "Entire production supervised by Blake Edwards." Jack Arnold (director of *Creature from the Black Lagoon*, *The Incredible Shrinking Man*, and *It Came from Outer Space*) produced the show and directed fifteen of the thirty-four episodes.

Henry Mancini's smooth theme music for the show reached Number 21 in the US singles charts. He released two successful LP's based on the show, *Mr. Lucky* and *Mr. Lucky Goes Latin*.

## Cast and format

Along with John Vivyan cast in the title role, Ross Martin portrayed Andamo. Pippa Scott had a recurring role as Maggie Shank-Rutherford, Lucky's girlfriend. Tom Brown also had a recurring role, as Lieutenant Rovacs of the city police.

Mr. Lucky is an honest professional gambler with extraordinary luck. He carries a pocket watch whose chimes play the first five notes of the *Mr. Lucky* theme music. He and Andamo operate a floating casino aboard a luxury yacht anchored outside an American port city. (The yacht in reality was the *Alamo*, a 148-foot yacht owned by former Compton, California mayor Col. C.S. Smith, publisher of the now-defunct Compton Herald American Newspaper chain.) Their business brings them into contact with numerous criminals and people hiding from criminals. This continues even after Lucky changes their business to a floating restaurant (see "Format change" below).

The website "TV Obscurities" indicates that Mr. Lucky's actual name was never identified in the series. The episode "Aces Back to Back" reveals that Lucky is a veteran of the United States Navy, and in the episode "Odyssey of Hate", he demonstrates that he still knows how to manipulate an M-1 rifle.

The end credits state that *Mr. Lucky* was "Based on an Original Story: 'Bundles for Freedom' by Milton Holmes." This story was also the basis of the 1943 motion picture *Mr. Lucky*, starring Cary Grant whose name in the film was Joe Adams. The film and the television series had little in common beside the title and the suave nature of the lead characters.

The first episode of the series, "The Magnificent Bribe", begins with Lucky and Andamo running a successful casino in Andamo's homeland, the island nation of Chobolobo (the name is not mentioned until the second episode). To stay in business, they must pay a weekly bribe of $1000 to the country's corrupt president (Nehemiah Persoff). They lose everything because of Andamo's revolutionary activities: he uses Lucky's yacht, the *Fortuna*, to smuggle guns to the revolutionaries, and he helps a beautiful female assassin (Ziva Rodann) get into position to kill the president. The episode ends with Lucky and Andamo escaping in a small boat with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

In the second episode, "They Shall Not Pass", Lucky and Andamo arrive by freighter in an unnamed American port city. Lucky wins enough money in a crap game to buy another yacht and a truck full of gambling equipment. He renames the yacht *Fortuna II* (pronounced "Fortuna the Second"), and anchors her outside the three-mile limit to operate as a floating casino.

The city where Lucky and Andamo operate is never mentioned by name, and various episodes give conflicting clues as to its identity. The city's marked police cars (black and white 1959 Plymouth four-door sedans) are marked simply "POLICE", not with the city's name or seal.

Mr. Lucky drives a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker Chrysler Imperial convertible.

## Format change

Beginning with the February 6, 1960, episode ("The Brain Picker"), Lucky changed his business from a floating casino to a floating restaurant. This was done by order of the show's sponsor, Lever Brothers, due mainly to the 1950s quiz show scandals. Dwight Whitney wrote about the format change in the following week's issue of *TV Guide*:

"The Fumigated Air: Lever Bros. came up with a puzzling decision last week. It decided that soap and gambling don't mix. As the sponsor of one of the year's two big hits, *Mr. Lucky* (the other being *Dennis the Menace*), the powers-that-be sent down orders that the celebrated television character played by John Vivyan would henceforth have to be made respectabilized. Almost immediately Lucky turned up running a restaurant instead of gambling aboard his ship. By so ordering it seemed that the soap company was taking a big gamble itself. By taking the bite out of the character, it was running a very real risk of transforming one of the season's big hits into a big flop, to say nothing of fumigating the air so thoroughly that even soap suds might seem astringent after that."

## Cancellation

Despite the fact that the show was one of the highest-rated new series of the 1959–1960 season, being ranked 21st among programs with a 24.4 average household share, Lever Brothers (and alternate sponsor Brown & Williamson) cancelled their sponsorship at the end of the season. CBS could not find other sponsors to replace them, and finally cancelled the series. John Vivyan believed the program was pulled in order to give up its Saturday time slot, as a favor to Jack Benny, to a new drama in the fall of 1960, *Checkmate*, which was produced by Benny's company, JaMco Productions.

According to Henry Mancini in his autobiography, Blake Edwards himself canceled the show because of the format change:

" "Mr. Lucky," a very stylish story about a suave, hip guy who runs a gambling boat somewhere off the California coast, was an immediate success. But it went on the air shortly after the TV quiz show scandals ... That and other scandals had cast a pall over the industry, and the network executives were frightened of any hint of moral criticism. "Mr. Lucky" became the target, particularly in the South, of that element in the American population that later became known as the moral majority. They took umbrage that the character ran a gambling boat, and around the fourth or fifth show Blake began to get pressure from CBS. The sponsor didn't seem to be concerned, but CBS insisted that Blake change Mr. Lucky's character from that of gambler to restaurateur and turn the ship into a restaurant. Blake fought, telling CBS, "You'll take the balls out of the whole story."

"In the event he went along with them, and the minute Mr. Lucky lost his gambling boat, the ratings took a nosedive. No longer excellent, they remained good enough to keep the show on the air, but Blake was unhappy. At the end of the year, he said, "I'm not gonna lend my name to this," and closed the show down."

## Attempted revivals

Blake Edwards developed a *Mr. Lucky* movie for Paramount Pictures in the mid-1960s to follow his big screen adaptation of *Peter Gunn* for the studio. The disappointing performance of the film *Gunn* saw the project's abandonment. Aaron Spelling and Blake Edwards later teamed to develop a movie of the week in 1980, *Casino*, starring Mike Connors as a similar gambler character. Edwards developed another *Mr. Lucky* revival for New World Television in the late 1980s to follow his *Peter Gunn* revival for the studio. When the latter project failed to be picked up as a weekly series, New World pulled the plug on *Mr. Lucky*.

# Pilley's Island

**Pilley's Island** is a town located on the island of the same name in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is located in Division No. 8, Newfoundland and Labrador.

## History

The island is known to have been frequented by Dorset Eskimo and the Beothuk.

In 1880, James P. Howley "obtained possession of the mummified body of a Red Indian boy, found in Dark Tickle near Pilley’s Island" from a Jabez Tilley of Sops Arm; the body was exhibited in St. John's and then donated to the St. John’s Museum.

Distant from the best fishing grounds further out the Bay, no settlement was recorded at Pilley's Island until the opening of a pyrite mine in 1887. Some early boat-building had taken place at Spencer's Dock, to the west of Pilley's Island Harbour. The island is thought to have been named for one of the seasonal visitors. While some have been known to spell it as "Pelley's Island", this is incorrect.

Local tradition says that Richard Rideout was the first European settler at Pilley’s Island. Rideout is buried in the Pilley’s Island Salvation Army Cemetery, and his grave marker reads, “Richard RIDEOUT beloved husband of Eliza RIDEOUT died Aug. 25, 1928 aged 88 years.” This is supported by Seary’s *Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland* which states “Richard (1840-1928), from England, came to Newfoundland in 1870 and was the first settler of PIlley’s Island.” The earliest families on Pilley's Island came from Twillingate, Change Islands and Herring Neck. Some of these families had earlier come to the western part of the Bay to work a copper mine at Tilt Cove.

In the 1860s, Captain Philip Cleary staked a mineral claim at Bumblebee Bight, hoping to develop a copper mine, though the island's orebody was chiefly pyrite. In 1885, Maine and Lewis Mills of New Brunswick bought the claim and the next year the company began mining. Tradition says that prior to the opening of the mine there were at least two families living on the island; however, church records have no record of births, deaths or marriages at Pilley's Island until 1887. By 1891, when the mine was in full production, the population was 411.

In 1889, the mine was acquired by the Pyrites Company Ltd. of England. Under new management, the mine was modernized, becoming the first Newfoundland mine to be equipped with electric lights, among other improvements. With the mine's prosperity, the community developed into the area's major employment and service center, with a hotel, courthouse, six merchant establishments, and the area's only hospital, set up by Sir Wilfred Grenfell.

In 1891 it was reported,

> The Pilley’s Island mine has recently been taken over by a new company, and will be worked more extensively than ever during this season. The ore which it yields, iron pyrites, is more abundant than formerly and preparations are being made for larger shipments this year.

Forest fires in 1896 destroyed the Court House, the Methodist Church and the Salvation Army Barracks; thirty-five families were rendered homeless.

In 1899, the mine went into trusteeship. Three years later, it was reopened by the Newfoundland Exploration Syndicate. The mine closed permanently in 1908 when it was discovered that a large fault had displaced the main ore body. Though the community lost its major employer, the town survived as a fishing and lumbering community. Its population, which was 699 in 1901, declined to 405 by 1945.

The first clergyman to serve Pilley's Island was Methodist James Pincock and, following the fires of 1896, the Methodists built their second church. Later the Salvation Army, Church of England and Roman Catholic Church built churches. After the mine closed, the Church of England disappeared and only a few Roman Catholics remained. The Methodist and Roman Catholic churches operated schools, and after 1903 the Salvation Army also operated one. The United Church and Salvation Army continued to operate separate schools until 1960. In 1967, high school students began to attend the Integrated Central High School at Roberts Arm. In 1977, Dorset Collegiate was opened on Pilley's Island, near the causeway to Triton.

In addition to the causeway across Flat Rock Tickle to the mainland, a second causeway has connected Pilley's and Triton Island since 1968. A port in Pilley's Island services the isolated outport of Long Island (Lushes Bight-Beaumont-Beaumont North).

In 2022, a plaque marking the designation of the Pilley's Island Methodist Church and Schoolhouse Complex as a Registered Heritage Structure was unveiled by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.

## Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Pilley's Island had a population of 286 living in 135 of its 186 total private dwellings, a change of -2.7% from its 2016 population of 294. With a land area of 34.65 km2 (13.38 sq mi), it had a population density of 8.3/km2 (21.4/sq mi) in 2021.

He was educated at St Chad's College for Boys, Wolverhampton (now the co-educational Our Lady and St Chad Catholic Academy), and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he read history. He stayed on at Cambridge to complete a PhD in modern French history, conducting much of his research in France, and graduated in 1978 with a thesis on the response of the French state to the Paris Commune in 1871. Tombs studied French at school but mainly learned the language by travelling to France, "getting jobs, making friends, and learning on the spot."

## Academic career

Following his PhD, Tombs embarked on a research fellowship at St John's College, Cambridge. He was then appointed a fellow of St John's and awarded a junior lectureship in the Faculty of History, University of Cambridge. He has since held various Faculty and College posts, and served as co-editor of *The Historical Journal*.

Tombs's speciality is 19th-century France, focusing primarily on the political culture of the working classes. His first book, *The War Against Paris, 1871* (which was adapted from his PhD thesis), analysed the role of the French Army in the suppression of the Paris Commune, and challenged a number of myths associated with that period.

In 2006, along with his wife, Tombs wrote *That Sweet Enemy: The French and the British from the Sun King to the Present*, a history of the relationship between Britain and France. The book received considerable media coverage in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. It became critical when discussing Franco-British relations, and helped establish Tombs and his work in political, diplomatic, and policy circles. Following the publication of the book, the French government awarded Tombs in October 2007 the *Ordre des Palmes académiques* for "services rendered to French culture", and Tombs was appointed to the Franco-British Council in 2008. In 2014, Tombs published *The English and Their History*, which was widely reviewed by the popular press.

Tombs's retirement was announced in August 2016, after which he became professor emeritus. Tombs is the editor of *History Reclaimed*, a website created by a "group of anti-woke scholars" that opposes what they claim to be censorship of historical texts in universities including Nigel Biggar, Zareer Masani, and Andrew Roberts.

## Personal life

Tombs is a dual national, holding British and French citizenship. His wife Isabelle Tombs (née Bussy) was born in France, and is in charge of French training at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He is co-editor of Briefings for Brexit, a consortium of academics and educators who support Brexit, and has written columns for newspapers such as *The Daily Telegraph*, *The Spectator*, and *The Times*. In the 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum, Tombs voted in support of membership.

In November 2021, Tombs expressed strong support for the retention of the English Wikipedia article "Mass killings under communist regimes", then facing the prospect of deletion on neutrality and original research grounds. Tombs wrote that "attempts to remove it can only be ideologically motivated – to whitewash Communism."

title: Open vowel

abstract: An open vowel is a vowel sound in which the tongue is positioned approximately as far as possible from the roof of the mouth. Open vowels are sometimes also called low vowels in reference to the low position of the tongue. In the context of the phonology of any particular language, a low vowel can be any vowel that is more open than a mid vowel. That is, open-mid vowels, near-open vowels, and open vowels can all be considered low vowels.

# Open vowel

An **open vowel** is a vowel sound in which the tongue is positioned approximately as far as possible from the roof of the mouth. Open vowels are sometimes also called **low vowels** (in U.S. terminology ) in reference to the low position of the tongue.

In the context of the phonology of any particular language, a *low vowel* can be any vowel that is more open than a mid vowel. That is, open-mid vowels, near-open vowels, and open vowels can all be considered low vowels.

## Partial list

The open vowels with dedicated symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet are:

There also are central vowels that do not have dedicated symbols in the IPA:

There is no unambiguous way of transcribing the open central vowels (but see obsolete/nonstandard IPA ). The diaeresis indicates *centralization*, so ä could mean near-front and ɒ̈ could mean near-back. However, in practice the diaeresis is assumed to mean central, while  and ɒ̟ are used for the front and back articulations, respectively.

The extremely rare contrast between open front, central and back unrounded vowels has been reported to occur in the Hamont-Achel dialect of Limburgish, which features long versions of these sounds, as well as short versions of the open front and back vowels. The short versions do not contrast directly with the open central vowel, which can only be long.

title: With Love and Fury

abstract: With Love and Fury is a collaborative studio album by British string quartet the Brodsky Quartet and Australian singer songwriter Katie Noonan. The album has been described as a fusion of their styles into an incredibly composed and creative collaboration. The album is a reimagining of the words of Australian poet Judith Wright and features compositions from contemporary Australian composers including Carl Vine, Elena Kats-Chernin, Richard Tognetti, Iain Grandage, Andrew Ford, David Hirschfelder, Paul Grabowsky, Paul Dean and John Rodgers. The project combines several of Noonan's passions; contemporary Australian composition and the work of iconic Queensland poet Judith Wright. The title, With Love and Fury, is named after the manner in which Wright habitually signed off her letters. Noonan said that "The idea was born from a love and deep appreciation of Judith Wright's writing and the legacy she left for Australia that seems so pertinent today"... "She was such an advocate for the environment and also such a fierce supporter of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians." The Brodsky Quartet and Noonan toured the album around Australia from 28 April until 5 May 2016. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2016, the album was nominated for Best Classical album, losing to Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra by Flight Facilities.

***With Love and Fury*** is a collaborative studio album by British string quartet the Brodsky Quartet and Australian singer songwriter Katie Noonan. The album has been described as a fusion of their styles into an incredibly composed and creative collaboration.

The album is a reimagining of the words of Australian poet Judith Wright and features compositions from contemporary Australian composers including Carl Vine, Elena Kats-Chernin, Richard Tognetti, Iain Grandage, Andrew Ford, David Hirschfelder, Paul Grabowsky, Paul Dean and John Rodgers.

The project combines several of Noonan's passions; contemporary Australian composition and the work of iconic Queensland poet Judith Wright. The title, *With Love and Fury*, is named after the manner in which Wright habitually signed off her letters. Noonan said that "The idea was born from a love and deep appreciation of Judith Wright's writing and the legacy she left for Australia that seems so pertinent today" ... "She was such an advocate for the environment and also such a fierce supporter of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians."

The Brodsky Quartet and Noonan toured the album around Australia from 28 April until 5 May 2016.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2016, the album was nominated for Best Classical album, losing to *Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra* by Flight Facilities.

## Background and release

Noonan had met Paul Cassidy of the quartet in Brisbane in 2011, while both were performing at the Queensland Music Festival. Noonan's original idea was to create a project celebrating the work of Australian poet and cartoonist Michael Leunig but distance made writing together difficult.

In 2013, Noonan found herself in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, at the Judith Wright Centre: "I realised with great embarrassment that I didn’t actually know who Wright was. So I went inside, found an anthology of her poetry and read it cover to cover. Her work just blew me away." With financial support from the Australia Council, Noonan set about choosing the project's composers and poems. She got in touch with Cassidy again and then flew to London to record the album with the quartet.

Noonan said of the collaboration that "I am so thrilled with the outcome of this project and believe we have created a truly beautiful and significant body of uniquely Australian work and I can't wait to share this new music with you on our World Premiere Australia tour in April/May. Ever since I first heard the Brodsky Quartet with Elvis Costello on the seminal album *The Juliet Letters* and ... with one of my musical idols Bjork, it has been a dream of mine to sing with this incredible string ensemble." Paul Cassidy of the quartet said that "We are so happy to be working with Katie Noonan, and are proud to be involved in this wonderful new Australian song cycle in memory of the inspirational Judith Wright."

## Critical reception

A reviewer from *Australian Stage* said that "Poetry has often been the inspiration for Noonan’s work. In 2011, with her trio Elixir, she recorded Australian Thomas Shapcott's poems ... This time it is Wright’s poetry that has been set to music. \[They\] all capture the sunlight and shadow of Wright's poetry, its joy and despair, with Noonan’s voice swooping and soaring within a web of finely balanced delicate string parts."

A reviewer from *Sounds of Oz* said that Noonan has "created what is arguably one of her most ambitious albums to date with her new release *With Love and Fury* ... I'm still not sure this is the kind of music I'll reach for time and time again. It's just so different, with songs that veer wildly from the classic structure of verses and choruses. While that meant I struggled to get into some songs, others really moved me. This album is brave and creative. And in a musical landscape that has a little too much beige, those virtues count for something."

# Ángela Rodríguez

**Ángela Rodríguez Martínez** (born 2 October 1989), commonly known as **Pam**, is a Spanish politician. She is a member of the Podemos political party in Galicia. In the XI and XII legislatures, she served as a deputy in the Cortes Generales representing Pontevedra. From October 2021 until November 2023, she was the Secretary of State for Equality and Gender Violence. Her focus is on feminist legislation and devising the most effective strategies to combat violence against women.

## Early life and education

Born in Pontevedra on 2 October 1989. She graduated from the University of Santiago de Compostela with a degree in philosophy. He graduated from the University of Vigo in 2014 with a master's degree in creation and research in contemporary art.

## Political career

Ángela is a Galician activist for the 15-M Movement, She served as Podemos Galicia's Secretary of Coordination and Equality in 2015. In April 2016, she was chosen to be the General Secretariat of Podemos Galicia, which was backed by Íñigo Errejón with the "Ágora Podemos" candidacy. However, she was defeated by Carmen Santos from Vigo, who led the "Un Mar de Xente" candidacy, garnering 41.14% of the vote, as opposed to her 39.38%. She was ranked 14th on the *Recover the Illusion* list, led by Íñigo Errejón, at the Podemos second citizens' assembly in February 2017.

Due to her youth, she was subjected to abusive treatment by many police officers at the Congress of Deputies, she said on social media in August 2016, when she went to pick up her deputy accreditation. Among her duties in the XII legislature were serving as the deputy for the Equality Commission's second vice-presidency and deputy spokesman. The State Pact Subcommittee on Gender Violence included him as a member as well.

Noelia Vera stated in September 2021 that she was leaving politics and all of her roles. In October of the same year, she was succeeded by Ángela as the Secretary of State for Equality and Gender Violence in the Ministry of Equality. He helped to draft the *Ley del solo sí es sí* in 2022. He took issue with judges' use of it, believing them to be sexist because of their interpretations that reduced punishments for sexual offenders. Her formal termination as Secretary of State was announced in the *Boletín Oficial del Estado* on 23 November 2023.

## Controversies

Following her loss to Carmen Santos in the 2016 Podemos Galicia general secretariat contest, Ángela made a remark on a party internal forum, calling the physically disabled Santos a "lame whore." Victims protesting Ángela's presentation before Congress in March 2017 said the deputy did nothing "before the complaints of women for harassment and mistreatment within their ranks."

Following the ratification of the *Ley del solo sí es sí* statute, Ángela faced accusations of making fun of the rapists' shorter penalties in public. The incident began with a round table hosted by Podemos, during which she accused the "far right" of pressuring them to "put the rapists on the street." "From the creators of 'People are going to go to the registry to change sex every morning comes... The rapists on the street! (...) Thousands, waves," she laughed.

Ángela stated in a March 2023 interview with *Yasss*, a digital medium owned by Mediaset, that males "do not need the civil registry to be rapists." They are, and regrettably, they are very so in our nation," she said, drawing criticism from a range of outlets for her generalisation. Her defence of "all bodies are valid" and denunciation of "gordophobia" in May 2023 drew further criticism for her, as did her request for "fatter" in the Congress of Deputies and her blending of physical health and beauty standards.

In April 2024, Ángela was ordered by Estepona's Investigating Court Number 3 to pay 10,500 euros for violating someone's right to honour by referring to Rafael Marcos, the former partner of Infancia Libre president María Sevilla, as "an abuser." The sentence was also made public through the same programs and channels where Ángela made the defamatory demonstrations. A year prior, Irene Montero, the previous Minister of Equality, was found guilty of making identical remarks in which she suggested that Rafael Marcos be given 18,000 euros in compensation.
