# T.J. O'Brien Lock and Dam

Thomas J. O'Brien Lock & Dam is a stop lock in the Hegewisch neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago at the confluence of the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River, which form the Calumet River. It is a component of the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS), which is, itself, a part of the Illinois Waterway, which links the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes.
The Lock & Dam is named for Thomas J. O’Brien, who was a U.S. Representative for the 6th District of Illinois from 1933 to 1938 and again from 1943 to 1964.

## Overview

The lock and dam are 326 river miles (525 km) from the Mississippi-Illinois confluence. The lock chamber measures 1,000 by 110 feet (305 m × 34 m) with a maximum lift capability of 5 feet (1.5 m). The lock contains a pair of sector gates at either end, which were chosen as they both reduce the cost of engineering and are more conducive to operations in a waterway which can reverse direction. The dam measures 293 feet (89 m) and includes 4 vertical sluice gates.
The lock and dam are used to maintain a 9-foot navigation channel, and for flood control purposes, primarily to limit diversion from the lake during normal periods, and mitigation of backflows into Lake Michigan during large storm events which reverse the direction of the river.

## History

Predating the lock and dam was the Blue Island Lock, constructed at the eastern end of the Cal-Sag Channel in 1922. Nearly as soon as its completion, there was already lobbying by various industries along the waterway to expand the size of the lock, which measured 360 by 50 feet (110 m × 15 m). A report by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1933 proposed, among other things, expanding the size of the lock to 600 by 110 feet (183 m × 34 m) to improve navigation. It would not be until 1946 when Congress would authorize funding for the improvements to the Cal-Sag Channel. The location of the new lock and dam 7 miles (11 km) upstream from the old controlling works at Blue Island was chosen to improve the ability to control backflow events into the lake during heavy storms from the polluting industries along the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River and the outfall of the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. Construction began in 1957, and was completed in 1960. However, the lock portion was not put into operation until July 1, 1965, when the Blue Island Lock was finally decommissioned.
# USS LSM-380

46°11′26″N 123°44′47″W﻿ / ﻿46.1906097°N 123.7463713°W﻿ / 46.1906097; -123.7463713
USS LSM-380 was a LSM-1-class landing ship medium in the United States Navy during World War II. She was later sold to Fred Devine to be used as a salvage ship, renamed MV Salvage Chief. She is the last known surviving LSM of World War II in the world.

## Construction and career

LSM-380 was laid down on 23 December 1944 at Brown Shipbuilding Co., Houston, Texas. Launched on 13 January 1945 and commissioned on 10 February 1945.
During World War II, LSM-380 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater. She took part in the Occupation and China service from 18 July to 24 November 1946. She would leave China and sailed to Guam in December 1946, and on to Pearl Harbor in January 1947 before making her final leg across the Pacific to San Francisco, where she would join the mothball fleet at Suisan Bay.
LSM-380 was decommissioned on 19 February 1948 and few days later on the 27th, she was sold to Devine Salvage Co. to be converted and used as a salvage ship with the name MV Salvage Chief.
She was struck from the Navy Register on 12 March 1948.
In 1949, she helped to refloat SS Pine Bluff Victory, which had run aground in the Columbia River.
In December 1952, she refloated the liberty ship named SS Yorkmar, near the entrance to Grays Harbor on the Washington coast.
In November and October 1956, the ship refloated the wrecked Nozima Maru in attempt to tow her to Japan for scrap but was caught in bad weather which led to the ship capsizing and abandoned in place to this day in Kiska Harbor. During the salvage mission, Chief Engineer Dick Floyd suffered a heart attack and passed away on board the ship.
In 1967, she pulled the Greek freighter SS Captyannis off from the Clatsop Spit.
On 17 December 1976, the Liberian oil tanker SS Sansinena exploded at the dock at the Port of Los Angeles. Salvage Chief was dispatched to salvage the wreck and pump out oil from the harbor.
In the 1980s, the ship underwent refit in Astoria and given a new bridge followed by a helicopter deck on the aft.
She would also stabilize and eventually assist in the transit of the crippled supertanker Exxon Valdez from Prince William Sound to San Diego in 1989.
In February, she was called off during the New Carissa incident. December 1999, she would again take part in the rescue of the barge, Mr. Chips.
The ship was retired in 2015 and sold to Salvage Chief LLC in which she was brought to a pier at the Tongue Point Job Corps Center. A non-profit Salvage Chief Foundation has been raising money to convert her into a museum ship ever since. The cost needed is $1.9 million.

## Awards

# Van Veghten House

The Van Veghten House is a historic building in the Finderne section of Bridgewater Township, New Jersey. It was built around 1725 and served as the headquarters of Quartermaster General Nathanael Greene during the second Middlebrook encampment (1778–79) in the American Revolutionary War. The Somerset County Historical Society owns the house and uses it as its headquarters, including a museum and library. The early 18th-century Old York Road passed by here connecting Philadelphia to New York City. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 10, 1979 and noted as representing "one of the few remaining Raritan River mansions".

## History

In 1697, Michael Van Veghten (also spelled Van Vechten) purchased 834 acres along the Raritan River near Finderne. His first wife died and he married Jannetje Dumont on April 2, 1691. Their son Derrick inherited the property when Michael died in 1737.
During the second Middlebrook encampment, Derrick Van Veghten gave Quartermaster General Nathanael Greene and his wife Catharine Littlefield Greene the use of the house for his headquarters and the farm for an encampment of his troops, without asking for any compensation.
On March 19, 1779, General Greene described an event attended by General George Washington that was held at the Van Veghten House in a letter to Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth:
   a little dance at my quarters a few Evenings past. His Excellency and Mrs [Catharine] Greene danced upwards of three hours without once sitting down. Upon the whole we had a pretty little frisk.
On August 30, 1781, the First Brigade of the French Army marched past his house, under the command of General Comte de Rochambeau, following the route to Yorktown, Virginia. The day's march was thirteen miles (21 km) from the campground at Bullion's Tavern in Liberty Corner to the campground at Somerset Courthouse, now Millstone, New Jersey. The Second Brigade followed on August 31. The American Continental Army marched nearby along different roads as part of this joint effort.
Derrick died in 1781 and the estate passed to his son Michael Van Veghten (1764–1831).

## Description

The house is two and a half stories plus a cellar. Brownstone is used for the foundation, and the first story features Flemish bond brickwork on the south and west walls; otherwise common bond brickwork is used. Iron beam anchors are visible on the south wall by the arches of brick voussoirs above the window heads. The house was renovated around 1837 in the style of Greek Revival and features four mantelpieces of that style.

# Claremont School District v. Governor of New Hampshire

Claremont School District v Governor of New Hampshire is an important legal case in New Hampshire. In the mid-1990s, the city of Claremont, New Hampshire started a process against the State of New Hampshire, challenging the constitutionality of the New Hampshire allocation of school funding.
The Claremont lawsuit was brought on behalf of five school districts that could not afford to properly fund their schools based on local property taxes. This was the second suit of this nature against the State of New Hampshire. The first suit was brought in the early 1980s and was settled when the State agreed to contribute 8% of the cost of education to a fund targeted to aid poor districts. The formula by which the money was distributed was designed by Professor John Augenblick and was called the Augenblick formula.
The State never fully funded its promise and by 1989 Claremont's high school, Stevens High School, had lost its accreditation because the district could not keep up with needed repairs. The then chairman of the Claremont school board, Tom Connair, caused the parties to reinstigate their lawsuit and three lawyers were hired, Arpiar Saunders, John Garvey and Andru Volinsky.
In 1993, the New Hampshire Supreme Court interpreted Part II, Article 83 of the New Hampshire Constitution to guarantee students a right to a public education. In 1997, the New Hampshire school funding system was found unconstitutional and the legislature and governor were ordered to define the components of a constitutionally adequate education, cost them out and pay for them with taxes that were equal across the state. Four governors and their legislatures refused to comply with the Court's orders leading the Supreme Court to again find the school funding system unconstitutional in September, 2006, leading Gov. John Lynch to try, unsuccessfully, to amend the state Constitution.
The Claremont petitioners have been represented since 1995 by John Tobin, Scott Johnson and Andru Volinsky, all of Concord, New Hampshire.

# Courting Chaos

Courting Chaos is a 2014 film written and directed by New Zealand filmmaker Alan Clay. The film is adapted from his book Angels Can Fly, a Modern Clown User Guide. The story is about a Beverly Hills girl who falls for a Venice Beach street clown called Chaos and she must overcome her inhibitions and become a clown herself for the relationship to survive.
Courting Chaos won the Best Comedy Film award at its premiere at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival in February 2014 and went on to win the Special Jury Award for Romantic Comedy from WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival, one of the top awards from the oldest independent film festival in the world, where Lead actor, Rachelle DiMaria, was also nominated for Best Actor. The film also received Awards of Merit for Best Director and Best Feature Film from the Accolade Competition.

## Cast

* Rachelle DiMaria as Ginger
* Alastair Bayardo as Chaos
* Nancy la Scala as Darlene
* Jessica Howell as Madonna
* Tristan Cunningham as Dancer
* Jeff Bee as TC
* Blake Young-Fountain as Jeff

## Production

Courting Chaos is notable for being shot and having finished the complete post production process, with a live music score, in just six weeks. This was done to capture the spontaneity inherent in the film's subject matter and to achieve this, composer Sherri Chung was composing the film's performance tracks and score from the script prior to the shoot and editor Ranchel Ann Pearl was working on set at Venice Beach from the second day.
A team of 7 camera operators under DP Dan Kneece captured the street theatre scenes live, complete with real audience interactions and performer perspective shots from cameras mounted on the clowns. By the end of the 4 week shoot there was a rough cut of the film. One week later it was a fine cut and by the end of the following week, music was recorded and sound mixed. The result is a delightfully light and intimate story about the lead character's journey of liberation as she allows the spontaneity of becoming a clown in her life.

## Accolades

* Best Comedy Film award at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival in February 2014.
* Special Jury Award for Romantic Comedy at Worldfest, Houston, 2014 where, Rachelle DiMaria, was also nominated for Best Actor.

# Hugh MacIsaac

Hugh Joseph MacIsaac is a Canadian ecologist. He is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Invasive Species at the University of Windsor and a professor at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research.

## Early life and education

MacIsaac completed his Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Windsor (UWindsor) before enrolling at the University of Toronto for his Master of Science in botany. He then completed his formal education by earning his PhD in the United States at Dartmouth College.

## Career

Following his PhD, MacIsaac accepted a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Zoology Department at his alma mater, the University of Toronto. In 1992, MacIsaac joined the Department of Biological Sciences at UWindsor. While also working with the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER) in 1999, MacIsaac focused his research on how human beings were affecting the environment. He published a paper suggesting that the introduction of non-indigenous species to Lake Ontario were a direct result of human behaviour. By 2011, MacIsaac was serving as the director of the NSERC Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network II and leading a nation-wide study of invasive species along the Canadian coasts.
MacIsaac later broadened his research to include countries such as Japan and China. In 2013, MacIsaac expanded his role with the NSERC by playing an integral role in determining how Canada and Japan could better protect their water resources from pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Following this, MacIsaac was appointed a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Invasive Species to fund his research into studying invasive species from a molecular perspective. Although his research continued, the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network closed down in 2016 due to a lack of funding.
In 2019, MacIsaac continued his international collaboration by engaging in an environmental exchange program with Chinese university students. The program brought eight Chinese students to Windsor for the two-week course while UWindsor students travelled to Yunnan. In 2021, MacIsaac refocused his invasive species research onto quagga mussel and zebra mussels populations. His Canada Research Chair position was renewed to fund his study into understanding these species at their molecular level.

## Personal life
