# Kalervo Toivonen

Kaarlo Kalervo Toivonen (22 January 1913, Salo – 25 July 2006) was a Finnish athlete who mainly competed in the men's javelin throw during his career.
Toivonen represented Finland at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, where he threw the javelin 70.72 metres to win the bronze medal. The competition in the javelin throw was extremely close; fellow Finn, Yrjo Nikkanen finished just five centimeters ahead of Toivonen to win the silver medal, and one meter ahead of both Finns was Germany's Gerhard Stöck, who won the gold medal at 71.84 meters.
Both Toivonen and Nikkanen had been ahead of Gerhard Stöck through four rounds of throwing; then in round five, Stöck came through with his gold medal-winning performance.

# New York Sack Exchange

The New York Sack Exchange were the front four defensive line of the American football team New York Jets of the National Football League during the early 1980s. The line consisted of Mark Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam.

## Origins

In 1981, a fan by the name of Dan O'Connor submitted the "New York Sack Exchange" name to a pre-season contest held by The Jet Report, a team magazine. Jets public relations director Frank Ramos used the nickname in a press release and it was soon picked up by the media.
All four members of the Sack Exchange were drafted by the Jets in the 1970s. Salaam (born Larry Faulk), a defensive tackle from Kent State, was drafted in the 7th round (188th overall) by the Jets in 1976. Klecko, a defensive end from Temple, was a 6th round pick (144th overall) in 1977. Lyons, a defensive tackle from Alabama, was a first round pick (14th overall) in 1979, while Gastineau, a defensive end from East Central Oklahoma State University, was selected with the Jets' second round selection in that draft (41st overall).

## Success

   It wasn't a question of whether we'd get to the quarterback, it was how many times."
In November 1981, Gastineau, Klecko, Salaam and Lyons were invited to ring the ceremonial opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, which served as the inspiration for their nickname. Gastineau and Klecko competed to see which defensive end could record the most sacks. In 1981, the Jets led the league with 66 sacks. The Jets reached the 1982 AFC Championship Game.
Salaam was replaced in the starting lineup by Kenny Neil in 1983, then traded after the season. However, Gastineau, Klecko, and Lyons continued to have success for several years, with Gastineau and Klecko making two more Pro Bowls apiece, even after the Jets shifted to the 3-4 defense in 1985. Lyons, the last active member of the Sack Exchange, retired after the 1989 season.

## Legacy

The prowess of the New York Sack Exchange, and New York Giants rookie linebacker Lawrence Taylor, caused the NFL to start counting quarterback sacks as a statistic.
Members of the New York Sack Exchange have earned individual honors. The Jets retired Klecko's No. 73 during a halftime ceremony on December 26, 2004. He was then inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2023. Lyons was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2011. Three members of the Sack Exchange have been inducted into the team's Ring of Honor: Klecko in 2010, Gastineau in 2012, and Lyons in 2013.
Klecko and Joe Fields wrote a book on Klecko's career, including details on his personal relationship with Gastineau. A book that told the story of this era of the Jets, titled Sack Exchange: The Definitive Oral History of the 1980s New York Jets, by author Greg Prato, was released in September 2011 via ECW Press.
The New York Sack Exchange was the subject of an eponymous 30 for 30 documentary released by ESPN on December 13, 2024.

# Marceliano Coquillat

Marcel·lià Coquillat i Llofriu (November 1865 – 28 December 1924) was a Spanish architect of the Modernisme and Noucentisme movements.
He was born in 1865 in Elche, Valencia, and studied architecture in Barcelona, graduating in 1892.

## Career

Developing his style in shadow of prominent Catalan architects such as Lluis Domenech i Montaner, Coquillat established himself as a noted proponent of the Modernista style in Catalunya. Most of his work is centred in Barcelona and San Justo Desvern.
Coquillat collaborated with other architects, such as Arnald Calvet i Peyronill on the market in Sarrià market and the Villa Conchita, and with Juli Marial i Tey on the Sant Miquel Tower in La Garriga.

### Noted buildings

Between 1903 and 1905 he carried out restoration work on the Basilica of Santa María in his hometown of Elche. In 1906, Coquillat collaborated with architect Víctor Beltrí on a commission from the Maestre Pérez mining family to build Casa Maestre on Plaza de San Francisco in Cartagena. The facade of this strikingly ornate Moderniste house bears prominent Neo-Rococo features.
One of Coquillat's most noted buildings was the Hotel del Histógeno Llopis on the Paseo de Rosales, Madrid, a project for the pharmaceuticals entrepreneur Adolfo Llopis Castelado. The hotel was built 1912-1914 in the Catalan Modernist style, and was highly acclaimed by his contemporaries. The building was heavily ornamented and featured a prominent loggia and balustrades, and was topped with an ornate cupola. The hotel was demolished in the 1970s.
In 1915, Coquillat was commissioned to remodel the facade of the Casa Bonet in the fashionable Eixample district of Barcelona. Neighbouring houses on this block had been remodelled in a variety of clashing styles of the Modernista movement, giving the row of houses the nickname the Illa de la Discòrdia (Mansana de la Discòrdia). Coquillat moved away from the outlandish forms of Modernisme and chose instead to style the facade along relatively conservative Italianate Neo-Baroque lines. In contrast to the neighbouring Casa Amatller (Cadafalch, 1900) and Casa Batlló (Gaudí, 1904), Coquillat's Casa Bonet is generally overlooked.
* Basílica de Santa María de Elche (restoration 1903-5)
* Casa Maestre, Cartagena (1906)
* Edificio de la Mutua, Elche (1910)
* Sarrià Market building (1911)
* Casa Bonet, Barcelona (1911)
* Villa Conchita, Barcelona (1912)
* Torre Sant Miquel, la Garriga (1912)

## Death and memorials

Coquillat died aged 60 on 28 December 1924 at Busot, Alacantí.
The town of Elche honoured Coquillat with the title "Hijo Predilecto" (most favourite son) in 1905, and erected monuments to him in the town hall and the church. A street in the town is named after Coquillat.

# Silas Ferrell House

The Silas Ferrell House is a historic residence in the village of Shiloh, Ohio, United States. Built in the closing decades of the nineteenth century as the home of a wealthy businessman, the house exemplifies the economic prosperity of 1880s Shiloh. Its distinctive architecture has qualified it for designation as a historic site.

## History

Shiloh was platted in September 1852 around a rural station of the Sandusky and Mansfield Railroad at a three-way junction with the Cleveland and Columbus Railroad and with the road between the cities of Tiffin and Wooster. Originally named "Salem Station" because of its location near the short-lived village of Salem, it was given its present name in 1862, soon after the Battle of Shiloh in the Civil War. By the end of the century, Shiloh was a flourishing locality: with the presence of the railroads, the village's commerce grew to the point that parts of the business district were three stories tall. Further contributing to local prosperity was the presence of natural gas deposits, which were sufficient to supply all local needs while leaving some for export to surrounding communities. Within such an environment was the Silas Ferrell House constructed in 1880. Ferrell was a well-to-do village merchant: he owned the general store and a factory that produced agricultural equipment, and he had a share in the operation of Shiloh's grain elevator. Since Ferrell's day, his house has not always been used as a residence; for a time, it was the location of the McQuate Funeral Home.

## Architecture

The Ferrell House is a square Italianate residence with a cupola atop the center of the hip roof. Two stories high, the weatherboarded structure rests on a foundation of limestone; its roof is tin, and additional elements are made of wood. A small porch is attached to the front, and the roofs feature cornices with brackets. Such elements are clear examples of the Italianate style, along with the symmetrical three-bay facade, the decorative milling on the cornice and the windows, and the hoods atop the rounded windows. No other building in Shiloh retains such a high degree of integrity in the Italianate style, and its location on Main Street increases the house's prominence. Completing the property are a small shed and a two-story carriage house behind the house itself.

## Preservation

At the end of 1987, the Silas Ferrell House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its well-preserved historic architecture. More than sixty buildings and historic districts throughout Richland County have been given this distinction, but most are located in the county seat of Mansfield, and the Ferrell House is the only one in or near Shiloh.
