History

The rail line through the San Fernando Valley was established by the Southern Pacific in 1893. When the Montalvo Cutoff was constructed in 1904, most traffic was diverted over a new mainline which ran diagonally across the valley and the tracks were relegated to branch status. Pacific Electric interurban trains reached Van Nuys by December 1911, crossing the Southern Pacific tracks at Van Nuys Boulevard.

The Orange Line (now the G Line) began operations over the former Burbank branch with new facilities to serve rapid buses on October 29, 2005.

Future development
As part of the Orange Line Service Improvements Project, which aims to increase bus speeds and capacity through the corridor, the station is planned to be rebuilt on a grade-separated bridge to decrease interference from traffic.

Thus far, A section of LADWP overhead power lines were undergrounded along Atena Street between Vesper Ave and the distribution substation to the east in August 2019. The communication wires were also undergrounded in November 2020, due to a planned TOD (transit oriented development) on the northwestern corner of Van Nuys Blvd and Oxnard St to be built next to the proposed G Line Bridge.

Van Nuys station will serve as the southern terminus of the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project light rail line in 2030. In June 2018, Metro staff recommended light rail as the preferred transport mode along this route. This route will connect to Amtrak and Metrolink's Van Nuys train station and Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station to the north. Additionally, the Sepulveda Transit Corridor service may connect to the station.

Station artwork 

The terrazzo paving areas and porcelain enamel steel fence panels at this station are called "Journey to California" by Daniel Marlos. They resemble quilt designs that are centuries old and have descriptive names that correspond to important events. ‘Road to California’, ‘Railroad Crossing’, ‘Wandering Paths’, and ‘Wagon Wheel’ are just a few that actually deal with transportation. The selected pattern, Journey to California, is a pattern that references both California and travel.

Expect No Mercy is the ninth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1977. The original version was rejected by the label and these versions were the bonus tracks on the Salvo CD. The originally released version saw the reintroduction of a heaviness after the two previously more laid back albums and the tracks were noticeably shorter with only the final track clocking in at over four minutes.

No Mean City (album)

No Mean City is the tenth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1979.  The album title comes from the 1935 novel No Mean City and features artwork illustrated by Rodney Matthews. With this record the band's sound was heavier, considering the addition of guitarist Zal Cleminson of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. It sold very well at the time, with the main single "Star", preceded by "Whatever You Want Babe". The popularity of the album allowed the band to play with several big names such as Thin Lizzy, on their 1978/79 tour. It was their first album since their second release, Exercises in 1972, not to contain at least one cover version.

Malice in Wonderland (Nazareth album)

Malice in Wonderland is the eleventh studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in January 1980. After the heavy lurch of the previous album, the band chose to follow a more commercial path and the album produced the hit singles "Holiday" and "Heart's Grown Cold". This is the second and last studio album to feature guitarist Zal Cleminson of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band as a member of the band.

The album was re-issued on Compact Disc in June 1990.The larger 2010 edition brought a range of bonus tracks, all extracted from a concert at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon, which were broadcast by the BBC for the In Concert program in 1980. It is a very varied album, with melodic and heavy songs like "Talkin' to One of the Boys" and "Showdown at the Border" and the flirtation with a reggae feeling in "Big Boy".

Track listing

1998 bonus tracks 

 This remastered CD, released on Castle Records subsidiary Essential Records (ESMCD 617) in 1998, added four bonus tracks and extensive liner notes:
 These live tracks were recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon and had been originally released as a 2 x 7 inch vinyl EP in a gatefold sleeve.
 An identical release was later issued on another Castle Records subsidiary, Sanctuary Records.

30th anniversary bonus tracks 

 The Hammersmith live songs from the 1998 remaster are not all on the 30th Anniversary Remaster, the compilers choosing to keep only the two songs relevant to the track list for Malice In Wonderland and omitting Razamanaz and Hair of the Dog.

2010 remastered bonus tracks 

 This remastered CD was released by Salvo records (SALVOCD043), August 2010.
 These BBC live recordings were recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, March 16, 1980.

The Fool Circle

The Fool Circle is the twelfth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in February 1981. "Cocaine" was a live cover of the song written by J. J. Cale and recorded in 1977 by Eric Clapton. There are remastered editions of the album with different sets of bonus tracks.

Because in 1997 Castle Communications was unwilling to produce a 2-CD set of the double live album 'Snaz, four tracks were removed so that a remastered version could be released on a single CD. Rob Corich, who was doing the remastering, included these songs here as bonus tracks to rectify this.

The Fool Circle is notable for a reggae sound on many of the songs. In an interview bassist Pete Agnew commented:
"'Fool Circle' was the nearest we came to making a concept album, trying to inject a bit of humour into a pretty heavy subject. I think the fact that we recorded it on the island of Montserrat might account for a teeny bit of reggae poking its way through."

Track listing

Cocaine was recorded at Wendler Arena, Saginaw, Michigan on 25 May 1980.

Jacques Berthier

Jacques Berthier (27 June 1923 – 27 June 1994) was a French composer of liturgical music, best known for writing much of the music used at Taizé.

Biography 
Berthier was born in Auxerre, Burgundy; both of his parents were musicians - his father Paul was the kapellmeister and organist at the Auxerre Cathedral. Learning first from his parents, Berthier was trained in music at the École César Franck in Paris. While there, he was taught by, among others, Edouard Souberbielle and Guy de Lioncourt (whose daughter he married).

In 1955 Berthier was first asked to compose music for the Taizé Community, which was then just a monastic community of twenty brothers. Six years later he became organist at the Church of the Jesuits in Paris, Saint-Ignace, where he worked until his death. In 1975, Berthier was again asked to compose for Taizé, this time for chants to be sung by the increasing numbers of young people coming to worship there. Over nearly twenty years, Berthier built up a body of church music that has been utilized around the world.

He died at his home in Paris in 1994, and requested that none of his own music be used in his funeral at Saint-Sulpice. In 2006, the Jubilate Deo Award was granted to him posthumously and accepted by Brother Jean-Marie (Taizé). His son is Vincent Berthier de Lioncourt.

Music

In more than twenty years, Berthier left an important corpus (232 songs in 20 different languages) in wide use today by other communities and around the world. He is also the author of Masses for organ, a cantata in the form of the cross and a cantata for Saint Cecilia.

Taizé songs
The current  edition of the song booklet used by the Taizé Community contains 71 songs written by Jacques Berthier.

Caldy railway station

Caldy railway station was a station on the single track Hooton to West Kirby branch of the Birkenhead Railway, on the Wirral Peninsula, England.

History
The Birkenhead Railway, owned jointly by the Great Western Railway (GWR) and London and North Western Railway (LNWR), had initially opened a branch line from Hooton to Parkgate in 1866. An extension to West Kirby was completed twenty years later although Caldy station did not open until 1 May 1909.

The station was located to the west of the village of Caldy and situated on top of a high embankment. This was due to a local landowner objecting to the original intended course of the line; which resulted in the station being much closer to the coast of the River Dee than was planned. The site consisted of a single platform on a single track section of the line. The station building was constructed from corrugated iron and consisted of a ticket office, waiting room and male & female toilets.

Closure
On 1 February 1954 the station was closed to passengers, although the line itself remained open to passenger trains for another two years. The track continued to be used for freight transportation and driver training for another eight years, closing on 7 May 1962. The line was lifted two years later with the station building and platform completely demolished.

Wirral Country Park
The route became the Wirral Way footpath and part of Wirral Country Park in 1973, which was the first such designated site in Britain.

Marian Krzaklewski

Marian Krzaklewski (; born 23 August 1950 in Kolbuszowa) is a Polish politician. A member of Solidarity since the 1980s, he was one of the most known and influential Polish politicians in the late 1990s, when he created the Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS). The AWS coalition, especially when it joined forces with Freedom Union, was a major accomplishment in Polish politics, transforming the fragmented post-Solidarity camp into a powerful political force.

Krzaklewski studied information science from Politechnika Śląska and holds a PhD degree. In 1980 he became involved with Solidarity, the famous Polish anti-communist trade union and social movement. Within the movement he was active in the Silesia region.

In 1991 he replaced Lech Wałęsa (then president of Poland) as the chairman of Solidarity. In opposition both to the government of Wałęsa and later the left-wing SLD, he was one of the founders of the center and right-wing Solidarity Electoral Action, which eventually became victorious in the 1997 Polish parliamentary election. Krzaklewski, who was elected as a deputy to the Polish parliament (Sejm), was considered for the post of Prime Minister, however in the end the post went to Jerzy Buzek. Amid the decreasing support for AWS, political infighting and corruption (TKM), he contested the 2000 Polish presidential election. As the major right-wing candidate, he polled very poorly, achieving just 15.6% of the vote. (Incumbent Kwasniewski won a majority in the first round). Subsequently, AWS suffered a crushing defeat in the 2001 Polish parliamentary election.

Krzaklewski resigned as the leader of AWS in 2001 and was replaced as chairman of the Solidarity trade Union by Janusz Śniadek in 2002. He currently is a member of the National Commission of NSSZ Solidarity and works as an EU expert in Brussels. Krzaklewski failed to return to politics running from his native region in South-Eastern Poland from the ruling Civic Platform list.

Manitoba Liberal Party candidates in the 1973 Manitoba provincial election

The Manitoba Liberal Party fielded several candidates in the 1973 provincial election, and elected five candidates to emerge as the third-largest party in the legislature.  Many of the party's candidates have their own biography pages; information about others may be found here.

Candidates

Point Douglas: Lawrence Belanger

Blain Johnston was born in Winnipeg. He became the first medical doctor to work in the northern Manitoba community of Thompson in 1957, serving as head of the Thompson Clinic and representing northern Manitoba on the Manitoba Medical Association. Johnston initially opted out of Manitoba's medicare program in 1969 and encouraged other doctors in Thompson to do the same.

Johnston was elected to the Thompson city council in the 1966 municipal election, topping the polls in the city's single multi-member division. He became deputy mayor before resigning his seat in late 1968.

He first ran for the Manitoba legislature in a by-election held for the Churchill electoral division on February 20, 1969. He was forty-one years old at the time of the campaign. Johnston ran as an independent, and some local Liberals charged that his candidacy was organized by the governing Progressive Conservatives to split the opposition vote. Johnston rejected this charge, as did the Progressive Conservatives. Johnston ultimately defeated both the Liberal and Progressive Conservative candidates and finished a very narrow second behind New Democratic Party candidate Joe Borowski. (The original returns showed Borowski with a twenty-three vote lead; a judicial recount narrowed his majority to seventeen.)

Johnston returned to municipal politics, and was elected to the second position on Thompson's city council in the 1970 municipal election. He ran for the provincial legislature as a Liberal in the 1973 provincial election and finished third against New Democrat Ken Dillen in Thompson.

Johnston's son, Tim Johnston, was elected mayor of Thompson in 2006.

OneFamily Fund

OneFamily Fund is an Israel based nonprofit organization that assists victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks, founded after the 2001 Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing. OneFamily describes itself as "the family of Israel's victims of militant attacks - those who have been bereaved, those who have been maimed, and those suffering from post-trauma as a result of terror attacks". OneFamily offers victims of terrorist attacks and their families rehabilitation programs and therapeutic assistance.

History

The fund was established by Marc Belzberg and Chantal Belzberg, the parents of Michal Belzberg, a 12-year-old girl who was preparing to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah in Jerusalem when she heard the news of the Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing in which fifteen people were murdered and 130 were wounded.  Michal insisted that her parents cancel the large party that the family had planned, and donate the funds to help the survivors and the families of the victims. She also asked that friends and relatives donate to the fund in place of gifts. The family rapidly turned the fund into a charitable organization that rapidly raised money for victims of terrorism directed against Israeli civilians.

Organization

The group has representatives in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The organization's board of directors includes Canadian politician Irwin Cotler, American lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former Israeli military Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi.

Actions

The organization has distributed $34 million to more than 2,700 victims and families of victims since its founding as of December 2011.

What Good Fences Make (play)

In 2009, American playwright Israel Horovitz wrote a short play entitled What Strong Fences Make in response to British playwright Caryl Churchill's play Seven Jewish Children. Horovitz has offered to allow any theater that wishes to produce What Strong Fences Make free of royalties, provided that a collection is taken up for the benefit of OneFamily.

Jeepers Creepers (1939 animated film)

Jeepers Creepers is a 1939 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short directed by Robert Clampett. The short was released on September 23, 1939, and stars Porky Pig.

It was released on DVD on September 19, 2017, in the Porky Pig 101.

Plot 
Porky is a police officer, who is in a police car that is named 6 7/8. He gets a call from his chief to go investigate goings-on at a haunted house. The house is haunted to the core, and the fun loving ghost plays a series of pranks on the unsuspecting pig. As Porky knocks on the door to enter the haunted house, the ghost does a lady voice "Come in." Porky enters, already frightened.

He enters again, the ghost places Frogs into a pair of shoes to look like a person walking, as Porky doesn't notice, the laces of the shoes get stuck to a coat hanger pole then rips off a curtain to make it look like a person with a cloak on. It immediately scares him and then the ghost scares him. Porky runs upstairs and lands in the ghost's arms with realizing, until that famous line comes as the ghost says it very goopy. "What the matter baby?".

Porky is finally scared out of the house, but he has the last laugh when his back-firing car leaves the ghost in blackface (and the surprised ghost doing a Rochester imitation: "My oh my, tattletale grey!").

Reception
Showmen's Trade Review called the short "an unpretentious cartoon that is good for seven minutes of enjoyment... On the whole it will make a welcome addition to any program."

The Film Daily wrote, "Although this type of material has been done so often in animated subjects, Jeepers Creepers carries enough humor to make it worth while for cartoon devotees, and particularly the younger generation of pix-goers."

I Cain't Say No

"I Cain't Say No" is a song from the 1943 musical play Oklahoma! written by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, initially performed by Celeste Holm.

In the song Ado Annie Carnes describes her sexual awakening (albeit in highly euphemistic terms) and the conflicts that it brings. One of two female leads, Ado Annie has a pair of principal suitors, a Persian traveling salesman Ali Hakim and the cowboy Will Parker, recently returned from an excursion to Kansas City. She describes to her friend Laurey the attention she is now receiving from men "since she filled out" and her inability to say "no" to their advances.

Sample lyrics:
It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do.
I knowed what's right and wrong since I was ten.
I heared a lot of stories and I reckon they are true
About how girls're put upon by men.
I know I mustn't fall into the pit
But when I'm with a feller,
I fergit!

I'm just a girl who cain't say no
I'm in a terrible fix
I always say "come on, let's go!"
Jist when I orta say nix...

Kirby Park railway station

Kirby Park railway station was a station on the single track Hooton to West Kirby branch of the Birkenhead Railway, on the Wirral Peninsula, England.

History
The Birkenhead Railway, owned jointly by the Great Western Railway (GWR) and London and North Western Railway (LNWR), had initially opened a branch line from Hooton to Parkgate in 1866. An extension to West Kirby was completed twenty years later although Kirby Park station did not open until 1 October 1894. It was named after Kirby Park, the area surrounding the house Kirbymount, formerly the summer residence of John Hurleston Leche XV of Carden.

Originally considered an experimental station, it was constructed primarily of timber  to the south of the current West Kirby railway station and served largely as a school stop for the nearby Calday Grange Grammar School.

Closure
Kirby Park railway station closed before most of the stations on the line on 5 July 1954, however for school purposes it remained open until 1956. The track continued to be used for freight transportation and driver training for another six years, closing on 7 May 1962. The line was lifted two years later with the station building and platform completely demolished. The only evidence that a station stood on this site is the entrance on Sandy Lane in West Kirby.

Wirral Country Park
The route became the Wirral Way footpath and part of Wirral Country Park in 1973, which was the first such designated site in Britain.
