GDRC Gm 6 - Blackhawks @ Canucks
Cam Davie
May 11 2010 10:58AM
Can the Canucks do what the Canadiens did last night and MAKE IT SEVEN?
The Vancouver Canucks staved off elimination in Game 5, but face the same fate tonight as they host the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6. This time, the Canucks play the Blackhawks at home, where they have not fared well against Chicago. To stay alive, they'll have to reverse that trend.
This year, regular season and playoff combined, the Canucks have only beaten the Blackhawks ONCE at home out of 4 games. For a team that had the best home record in the NHL, this is a disturbing trend. Luckily for the Canucks, Chicago has been almost as bad as them when they host the Canucks, as Vancouver has won 3 out of 5 games combined at United Center this year.
So it would seem to me that the key to success for the Canucks is to play the perfect road game, much like they did in Games 1 and 5. It's hard to imagine the Canucks playing much better than in those two games, but it's hard to imagine them playing much worse than they did in their last two home games. The Canucks need to turn to muscle memory and relive what they did in Game 5 and do it all again.
And they'll have to do it all without Sami Salo, as he nurses a sore *ahem* nether region *ahem*. At first feared to be a ruptured testicle, Salo suffered a nasty injury after taking a slap shot to his groin in Game 5. Now listed as day-to-day, Salo is unlikely to play tonight. That means, Laurence Nycholat will play as the 6th defenseman tonight. That also means that the Canucks bottom three defensemen are O'Brien, Alberts and Nycholat.
Because of that, the Canucks HAVE to play smart. Very smart. They cannot take penalties to expose the vulnerability of these three blueliners. The forwards must play all 200 ft. for all 60 minutes. They have to support their defense for the entire game. If they don't this will be a long night.
This is a night begging for a 2-1 Canucks victory. The forwards need to play back whenever the Blackhawks press, take their opportunities when they arise, and above all, play smart hockey. Sticks down, hands down, turn the other cheek.
In a massive twist of irony, this game 6 falls EXACTLY one year from last year's season-ending debacle in Chicago. Surely Roberto Luongo will find the irony and look to exorcise his demons against this team.
Tonight's the night, boys. Do Canada proud and MAKE IT SEVEN.
Do Canada proud indeed fellas. Even Edmonton is cheering you on!
Wayne, if only that were true. I live in Edmonton, and for the most part, Edmontonians are overly ignorant of the Canucks. Not sure why but hey, if they can win a cpl more games, they can all shut up. Here's hoping.
May 12 2010, 06:13AM
"No matter what happened out there, I leave with my head up not like last year," Luongo said. "I battled for 60 minutes. I kept it under seven goals."
Wow, Good thing you have this piece of work wrapped up for another 14 yrs.
There is MASS consensus around Vancouver this morning that Lu needs to rescind his captaincy immediately. There is no waffling about this at all. It is utterly unanimous. Those comments that you posted made me SO ANGRY last night. Take ownership, Lu!
Do Canada proud indeed fellas. Even Edmonton is cheering you on!
No were not you lying bastard! We hate the Canucks and everything you stand for (which is nothing!) The Cauncks are a gutless, spineless, choke-artist team full of over paid useless chokers.
Enjoy the off season deadbeats!!

Marc Anthony, Alexis Stewart, and Other Gun-toting Maniacs
Celebrities: scaredy-cats! Turns out it's not just paranoid right-wing action star wannabes like Roger Ailes and Sean Hannity who are licensed to carry guns. So do a host of other New York celebrities. What is Marc Anthony so scared of?
Besides the ones we already heard about (Howard Stern, Donald Trump), The NY Daily News says the following stars are licensed to PACK HEAT: Robert Deniro, David Wright of the Mets, Martha Stewart's daughter Alexis, wacky supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis, and J-Lo's man, Marc Anthony, who's licensed to carry a loaded, concealed weapon.
Whatever desperate fascination J-Lo has with me is none of my doing, Marc. I promise I mean you no harm.

Feature Story
|Print Page
In a unique twist of things, BLM- Alaska Fire Service (AFS) recently turned its interior wildland firefighting logistics and operations center in Galena away from firefighting and towards helping with flood relief to the devastated village.
Early this summer the AFS Galena Station was temporarily closed due to the flooding of the Yukon River after a massive ice jam sent water over the 100 year flood plain, inundating most of the town in late May. The seasonal field station which consists of barracks, a dining hall, warehouse, smokejumper outstation, helibase, fixed wing ramp, administrative building, as well as several outbuildings was spared from the flood as it sits within the protection of a dike built when the US Air Force operated a base at the Galena airport.
AFS saw an opportunity to help the community and through an agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is providing assistance to Galena residents. The Galena Zone is the largest of the AFS fire management zones with an area of approximately 93 million acres. The zone normally has 27 personnel at Galena during the fire season, but relocated 17 staff on August 5 to handle fire operations at the main AFS base, 300 miles away in Fairbanks, to make room for the relief effort. The 10 remaining staff are aiding in support that includes housing, meals, and warehouse operations which began August 8 and will continue through mid-September.
The support is accomplished through a Mission Assignment from FEMA that includes the use of facilities and the logistics personnel that normally operate those facilities. The AFS barracks currently are housing displaced residents and the dining hall is providing approximately 750 meals per day. The Galena Station warehouse is also very actively providing support with equipment, supplies and fuel to the relief effort.
With winter rapidly approaching, Alaska US Senator Lisa Murkowski visited Galena to meet with FEMA and State of Alaska Emergency Management officials. While there she surveyed the progress being made and spoke with lead contractors about deadlines for completing work. She stated "There is so much to be done, and we all know winter is coming. Winter comes early and hits hard in the Interior. We need to have systems in place in time for winter, and from what I am seeing, that may not happen. I am leaving with a real sense of obligation to push federal, state and local partners to work together as quickly as possible. There is a lot more work to do."
With the rapid approach of winter, the AFS support will be winding down soon. The recovery effort is a long term effort and AFS expects to continue to be involved and provide support in any way they can.

Wai Young Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians everywhere are celebrating an important milestone. Yesterday marked tax freedom day, the day when Canadians have earned enough to pay the taxes they owe to all levels of government for the entire year. This is over two weeks earlier than under the former Liberal government.
Our Conservative government has reduced the overall tax burden on Canadians to its lowest level in nearly 50 years, saving the typical family over $3,000. In addition, over one million low-income Canadians are now completely off the tax rolls.
This is great news for Canadian families, who welcome this extra money in their pockets.
On behalf of the people of Vancouver South, I urge our opposition colleagues to stop playing games and pass budget 2012 so that we can continue to keep taxes low, create jobs and keep British Columbia and Canada on the path to long-term economic prosperity.
Republic of the Philippines Independence Day
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, independence of the Philippines was declared on June 12, 1898. Today around the world people of Filipino heritage and others will be celebrating that declaration of independence.
It was on June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite, where the Filipino people witnessed the public reading of the Declaration of Independence, which was written by Ambrosio Bautista. The national flag was also unveiled along with the singing of the new Filipino national anthem.
The Philippines is a beautiful country, a place where I have been on many occasions. I have the experience that as a whole, people of Filipino heritage are hard-working, have strong moral values, are kind and generous, and love fun. If any members have ever been to a Filipino fiesta, they will know what I mean.
As our Filipino community and others across Canada celebrate this day in many different ways, on behalf of the Liberal Party I would like to extend our best wishes to all of those who will be participating in celebrating this very important date in world history.
Later today on Parliament Hill, the Canada-Philippines Friendship Group and the Ambassador of the Philippines will be hosting a special event in recognizing the day. I would encourage members to please stop by.
Mabuhay to one and all.
New Denmark Founder's Day
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, this coming weekend, the community of New Denmark, the oldest Danish community in Canada, will be celebrating the 140th anniversary of its Founder's Day. The community was settled in 1872 by a handful of families. The initial Danish settlers left Denmark starving from a crop failure. Promised farmland and accessible roads and available shelters, they arrived to something very different, a hilly, desolate area of northwestern New Brunswick and a land covered by virgin forest and not-so-open fields. Facing this hardship, these pioneers built a life in New Brunswick. They carved out an agricultural community through hard work and determination. Their descendants have spread into many neighbouring communities.
A symbol of their skiing heritage, and a fact not well known outside the community, was the construction of a ski jump in the 1930s called the "Big Hill" overlooking Salmon River. While the ski hill does not operate today, and like many other rural communities the community has undergone changes, one only has to attend Founder's Day to see the pride the residents have in their pioneers.
I know that all members of the House will join me in congratulating New Denmark on its 140th Founder's Day. I thank them for their contribution to the fabric of our region and our country.
La Cloche--Manitoulin Lighthouse Association
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
Mr. Speaker, for groups like the La Cloche--Manitoulin Lighthouse Association, that is trying to preserve our heritage lighthouses, the reality that most of these properties are fixer-uppers is coming into sharp focus. In fact, money is turning into a major stumbling block. Now these properties could be destined for the scrapheap of Canadian history. The Dawson citizens' committee reports that the Mississagi lighthouse alone requires $500,000 in upgrades, $80,000 of that for immediate repairs so the building can survive the next six months.
Contaminated sites and dilapidated buildings may lead to worst-case scenarios as even high-profile lighthouses, like the one in Peggy's Cove, could end up demolished, despite hosting half a million tourists a year.
With all petitions in place, groups like La Cloche--Manitoulin are waiting with bated breath and big funding questions. Without a cash infusion, no commitment to these heritage symbols is complete. Surely it is time for the government to make funds available to clean up sites and do basic repairs before handing over our national treasures.
Women and Leadership

Eve Adams Mississauga—Brampton South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I had the honour of speaking at the annual Women and Leadership conference in Toronto. Accomplished women from major corporations including Manulife Financial, Sobeys, RBC and Cisco came together to share the battleground stories behind their successes.
Our budget creates an advisory committee of leaders linking corporations to a network of women with professional skills and experience. However, that is not all the budget does for Canadians. It will return our country to balanced budgets without raising taxes. The global economic recovery is extremely fragile. That is why our Conservative government, under our Prime Minister, is implementing sound economic policy that is a model to the world. We are pushing long-term economic growth with unprecedented free trade agreements and a modernized immigration system. We are looking to the future by funding research and development.
As our Prime Minister said yesterday at the Conférence de Montréal, "Economic growth and fiscal discipline are not mutually exclusive. They go hand in hand".
I am so proud to be a member of the only party that focuses on creating jobs and economic growth for Canadian families.
Year of the Fransaskois

June 12th, 2012 / 2:05 p.m.
Bradley Trost Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, today, I want to acknowledge the "Year of the Fransaskois".
According to Paul Heppelle, president of the Assemblée communautaire fransaskoise, Franco-Saskatchewanians are known to be explorers, pioneers, builders and investors in their native province.
The Year of the Fransaskois recognizes the centennial of the ACF, but it is important to note that francophones have lived in Saskatchewan for much longer than a century. Franco-Saskatchewanians have played a fundamental role in developing the fabric of Saskatchewan.
They have made important contributions to education, economic growth, health and immigrant assistance. They have strong ties to the anglophone majority and to francophones across the country and around the world.
I am always pleased to meet Franco-Saskatchewanians from Saskatoon—Humboldt and other parts of my province.
I want to wish those who are celebrating it a happy Year of the Fransaskois.
Angels in Pink

Claude Gravelle Nickel Belt, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to take a moment to honour the Angels in Pink, a group of passionate, courageous and dedicated women. They have devoted their time to raising awareness about breast cancer and to fundraising for a breast coil attachment to be added to the MRI in Sudbury. The sixth annual Women of Distinction Awards gala recently honoured the group and their tireless work for this important cause.
Annette Cressy started the organization after being forced to travel to Timmins for her MRI. The Angels in Pink have raised over $200,000 through bake sales and other fundraising events over the past three years. Every dollar raised at these events has been donated to the cause of breast cancer awareness. Thanks to these efforts, women throughout northeastern Ontario will now have access to this critical medical tool for generations to come.
I thank and congratulate Ms. Cressy and the rest of the Angels in Pink: Jane Tessier, Lorraine Baldisera, Sue Chartrand, Bev Briscoe and Angela Corsi-Raso.

Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to mark the 114th anniversary of Philippine independence. In recent years, Canada and the Philippines have developed close ties of co-operation, trade and friendship. Our bilateral relations are continuously strengthened by the over half a million Canadians who trace their roots to the Philippines. Filipino Canadians continue to make valuable contributions to our great country, in all fields of endeavour. I am proud that under our government, the Philippines has become the number one source country for new immigrants to Canada.
For all Canadians, this holiday represents an excellent opportunity to honour the rich history and cultural heritage of the Filipino community and to enjoy celebrations taking place across the country, including in my riding of Mississauga—Erindale.
On behalf of our government, I wish the Filipino community a happy independence day and mabuhay Philippines.
Portneuf Relay for Life

Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I wish to congratulate all those who took part in the third edition of the Portneuf Relay for Life, which was held in Donnacona on June 9 and 10.
The Portneuf Relay for Life is an annual fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society. This year, nearly 500 participants walked around Donnacona Park in relays for 12 whole hours, each doing their part to contribute to the fight against this terrible disease—cancer.
Among the participants, some 130 were cancers survivors themselves who led the relay by taking a symbolic first lap of the park. I salute the courage, optimism and perseverance of these survivors, who are true role models for the rest of us.
I also wish to congratulate everyone who walked in the third Portneuf Relay for Life whose efforts and energy helped raise the impressive sum of $124,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
That is a record for the Portneuf region, and I am very proud of this accomplishment.
I wish to congratulate Lucie Côté and her entire team, as well as all participants in the relay who made this event such an enormous success.

Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, the solution to a debt crisis cannot be more debt. Yet, the NDP leader attacked the Prime Minister for refusing to provide a euro debt bailout and the Liberal Treasury Board critic said that such a bailout should be "massive".
Any group of countries that has taxed every dollar out of its own economy, borrowed every dollar that anyone in the world would commercially lend to it, exhausted the half-trillion euro EU bailout fund and still has no plan going forward is not a good credit risk for Canadian taxpayers.
A better approach to protect Canada against the European debt crisis is for us to reject a bailout and move forward with our economic action plan, which would balance the budget within the next three years.
Captain John Russell
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, just recently Captain John Russell of Bonavista in my riding passed away at the age of 105.
"Captain Johnny", as he was affectionately known, was a seagoing captain, who first commanded sailing schooners long before ships were powered by steam or diesel. He spent a lifetime earning a living from the sea: fishing, sealing and transporting goods all over North and South America, as well as the Caribbean.
Captain Johnny was more than a sailor. He was a war veteran, a businessman, an author, a poet, a mentor and a captivating storyteller. A man of wit and wisdom, he was the subject of many documentaries and newspaper articles. First and foremost, Captain Johnny was a family man. His beloved wife, sons, daughters and grandchildren were always his priority. In 1956, he moved to Bonavista from his birthplace in Red Cliff so his children could get a better education. His friends played a special role in his life. I am proud to say that I was among those friends.
Captain Johnny will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him so dearly. I say goodbye to my friend.

Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, last week, the member for Markham—Unionville said that he thinks that the solution to the eurozone debt is "...putting massive funds into the scene. If the funds are massive enough, that will calm the markets". Yesterday, his interim leader made the outrageous claim that "any Canadian transfer to the IMF...goes on our books as an asset".
With such irresponsible economic policies, it is no wonder that the Canadian public relegated the Liberals to the third-party status. The Liberal position is no better than the leader of the NDP's position. He advocates for billions of Canadian tax dollars to be sent to bail out Europe's banks.
This is Europe's debt problem. Europe should act and must not delay.
Official Languages
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alexandrine Latendresse Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC
Mr. Speaker, dissent is growing within the Conservative caucus. First, some members publicly expressed their disagreement with the omnibus Trojan Horse bill. Now, bilingualism for officers of Parliament is sowing confusion in the ranks. Some Conservative members believe that bilingualism is a cumbersome, useless burden. Little wonder they won only five seats in Quebec in the last election.
It has been the custom for officers of Parliament to be fluent in French and English, but once the Conservatives came to power, they showed us just how little they care about the country's official languages. The NDP is not alone in condemning these practices. The Commissioner of Official Languages also criticized the Conservatives following the appointment of unilingual officers of Parliament.
My bill will give the Conservatives no choice but to respect bilingualism when appointing individuals to Parliamentary positions.
The Conservative caucus has an opportunity to do the right thing and support my bill. I hope that the other Conservative members from Quebec and across Canada will join the NDP and their colleague from Beauce in supporting my bill.

Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government rejects the NDP and Liberal calls to send good Canadian dollars to failing European banks before European countries have even taken action to deal with their own debt crisis. Why does the leader of the NDP expect Canadians to bail out European countries that have borrowed to the brink?
Economic experts agree that the Prime Minister was right to dismiss the IMF's calls for Canadians to fund a European bailout. Stephen Gordon even stated that the problem with the eurozone is not the lack of cash, it is a lack of political will, like the members opposite lack. Unlike the NDP and Liberals, our Conservative government will not adopt the same fiscally reckless policies that exacerbated the debt crisis in Europe, nor do we think that Canadian taxpayers should be on the hook for Europe's unsustainable accumulation of debt.
This is Europe's debt problem. Europe should and must fix it. The NDP leader needs to explain to Canadians why he thinks we should fix it for them.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's mammoth bill is an all-out attack on environmental protection.
The Conservatives are gutting the Fisheries Act, the Species at Risk Act, the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act, the Environmental Violations Administrative Monetary Penalties Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, none of which has anything to do with budget implementation.
How can the Prime Minister justify these attacks on the health of the environment and that of Canadians?

Professor Gabriella Vigliocco - Co Director (UCL)
As co-director of the Deafness, Cognition and Language (DCAL) research centre and director of the Language and Cognition Laboratory at University College London, I lead a team composed of psychologists, sign linguists, computer scientists and cognitive neuroscientists sharing the vision that understanding language and cognition requires integration of multiple levels of analysis and methodological approaches. The overarching goal of our work is understanding how language and other aspects of cognitive functioning relate to each other. Over the years, we have contributed to the understanding of how we represent meaning, how cognition shapes languages and how language shapes cognition. We have challenged many traditional ideas about language, like the notion that language is a modular and purely symbolic system that does not entail direct links with our sensory-motor and affective experience. We have developed theoretical and computational models of how meaning is represented and how sentences are produced that account for language performance in terms of interactions among different types of linguistic and non-linguistic information.
I am Professor of the Psychology of Language in the Department of Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences at University College London. I received my PhD from University of Trieste in 1995, was a post-doc at University of Arizona, and after being (1996-1999) at University of Wisconsin as Assistant Professor and the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics as a visiting scientist (1999-2000) I moved to UCL.

"I love these shoes! I usually wear them to work, but I've worn them out as well. I don't usually get pointy toe shoes because they tend to be really narrow and standing for even short amounts of time can be uncomfortable due to there being no platform, but these shoes are really comfortable compared to other similar style shoes, though I wouldn't wear them if I know I'll be on my feet for hours. But I'm happy I got them."

I wore them to dinner on a saturday night an in less than 2 hours of wearing he shoes had a crease on the inner part of the shoes on both feet. I wanted to return them but i wasnt sure if i could after wearing them.

"Very, very sexy shoe. Runs a tiny bit narrow at the front, but not uncomfortable. Heel height is actually walkable (not for long distances, but enough that you could go out at night to dinner/drinks and not be uncomfortable. I love it. Bought it in leopard and can wear it with almost everything. Will probably buy it in more colors. Buy it."

Lucas Hnath Fixates on Disney; Williams's Notebook of Trigorin Redecorates Chekhov
Audiences love obsessives. Set a character with a crazy, unquenchable hunger center stage and they eat it up, whether the character's hunger is for money, love, fame, or anything else. The public can often develop an unquenchable appetite of its own for seeing the mania in action, as when Shakespeare's kings fixate on power or piety, Mamet's crooks on bringing off the big deal. Obsession's the name of the game.
Since all artists, playwrights included, are at least partly obsessive themselves, writing such roles means developing a sense of trickery. You can't simply put your own fixation onstage and let it rant uninterrupted, so a cagey playwright finds ways to hedge his obsessions. Lucas Hnath, in his new play with the triple-barreled title A Public Reading of an Unproduced Screenplay About the Death of Walt Disney (Soho Rep), has erected three rings of distancing irony around his fascination with his subject, himself one of entertainment history's great obsessives.
First comes Hnath's notion of "a public reading:" The format—a nearly bare stage, a table and chairs, actors with scripts in front of them—may resemble a reading, but Sarah Benson stages it as elaborately as any full production, with complex blocking, constantly shifting lights, and a flood of music cues. Inside this lies the pretense that this piece manifestly written for the stage offers "an unproduced screenplay." Hnath seizes that setup to build interruptions into his dialogue, using screenwriters' terminology to cut emotions short, and also for its own incantatory effect. The verbalized camera directions ("Hold on Walt's face") create a second train of thought running contrapuntally to the first, an imaginary movie whose unseen shots crisscross the life of a celebrated moviemaker.

That moviemaker had a control-freak's fixation on success and absolute orderliness. The Disney who radiated a tenderhearted affection for kids and the pleasures of family was, behind the scenes, ruthless in business, fetishistic about the tidiness of the imaginary worlds he created, and, one gathers, unempathetic to the woes of either his studio "family" or the one at home. The overpowering effect his creations have had on America's—and the world's—sensibility has brought with it baneful shadows, noted by countless thinkers. (Stravinsky on Disney's visual accompaniment for The Rite of Spring in Fantasia: "It is no use to criticize an unresisting imbecility.")

Hnath's final jape is to have Disney assert that he wrote this work himself. This is doubly funny, since Hnath not only touches all the familiar bases on Disney's darker side, but expends a fair amount of time imagining his death, not omitting his supposed decapitation for cryogenic purposes. Not that having his head put in the freezer stops Hnath's Disney (Larry Pine) from narrating the silent ending of the "screenplay." Like the real Disney, this one's thorough.
Focusing on what he imagines of Disney's contorted family relationships, Hnath neither explores the sources of Disney's mania nor documents its unhealthy growth from Silly Symphonies to controlled environments. Instead, his play, a rapid-paced, word-packed 75 minutes in which Pine does nearly all the talking, supplies the textual equivalent of a Tomorrowland ride, a bullet-train trip through the word salad in Disney's brain as he persecutes, badgers, and mocks his more conventionally businesslike brother Roy (Frank Wood), bullies his doubt-ridden daughter (Amanda Quaid) to name a child after him, and cajoles her dumbly sincere husband (Brian Sgambati) into doing his dirty work for him.
Never deep or revelatory, the play offers exactly the exhilaration such a ride should produce. Benson's sensitive production varies the manic verbal spew with stretches of dark quietude, during which Mimi Lien's rigid set reveals unexpected odd corners and Matt Frey's lights dim to tiny pools that glimmer in the blackness. Quaid and Sgambati handle their roles with precision, while Pine and Wood make a spectacular team. Wood's laconic deadpan, immaculately timed, gives Pine a perfect counterfoil as the latter hurtles through his role like a virtuoso soloist, his effusions and self-interruptions always precisely on pitch.
Tennessee Williams, as flamboyant and unbusinesslike about his obsessions as Disney was monolithically earnest about his, adored Chekhov above all the predecessor playwrights who had inspired him. In 1980, in the last disjointed phase of his erratic life and career, Williams finally got the chance to work on adapting The Sea Gull, his favorite among Chekhov's four masterpieces. That adaptation, The Notebook of Trigorin, was produced in Vancouver that fall and extensively reworked afterward; his final draft received a posthumous production in Cincinnati in 1996. A staging by The Attic Theater at The Flea marks its New York premiere.
The results are curious. Williams tries neither to update Chekhov nor to infuse the Chekhovian atmosphere with his own sensibility. Instead, he leaves many areas of the texts untouched, while expanding or swathing over those that do catch his interest with huge brushstrokes of his own extravagance. The effect, alternately mutilating and intensifying the original, is like turning an action painter loose on a Degas. Tropical colors spring up out of nowhere, making rainbow-hued hay of Chekhov's intentions. Dorn, usually viewed sympathetically, becomes a Mephistophelean cynic who torments everybody while chasing every young girl in sight. Trigorin, the preoccupied writer who surrenders to Arkadina's and then Nina's need for him, is here a bisexual to whom boys and girls offer equal temptations, while Arkadina takes on the shriller tones of Mrs. Flora Goforth and other wealthy, demanding dowagers in late Williams plays.
Laura Braza's uneven production adds further tilts to the work's seesawing tone. While Will Sarratt's Constantine and Michael Schantz's Trigorin understate, often effectively, Meredith Forlenza's Nina starts charmingly but then pushes ever harder, with diminishing results, and Charise Greene's Arkadina alternates one shrewish and one soft note, neither convincingly. The rest produce similar discordances, and one can't help blaming Williams: The cultural clash into which his misapplied passion has turned the script finds its inevitable echo in the acting.

US Forest Service Employees View 'The Thick Dark Fog' Documentary about Treatment of Native American School Children
Unfortunately, in the 19th and 20th centuries, the government often actively suppressed Indian culture by banning certain spiritual practices on reservations. It was only in 1978, with the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, that the government formally established a policy to protect Native American Sacred Sites and traditional forms of worship.
In federal Indian schools, children were often not allowed to be Indians – to express their Native culture or identity in any way was to risk being severely humiliated or abused. Many Native Americans lived with this trauma well into adulthood. More than 100,000 Native American students attended these schools from 1879 to the present. Although a few of the schools still exist, attendance is no longer mandatory.
