Henri VII
Born around 1276 in Valenciennes, Henry VII married in 1292 Margaret of Brabant (died 1311 in Genoa), an alliance destined to reconcile two noble houses. Thanks to the power of his brother Archbishop Baudouin of Trier and of Pierre d'Aspelt, Archbishop of Mainz, Henry VII was elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1308. It was not until 1310 that he left with his family and several thousand men for Italy. After having received the crown of the Lombard kings in Milan, he had to crush an insurrection in Brescia where his brother Waléran (Walram) died.
Obliged to circumvent the Tuscan towns, he finally arrived in Rome for his coronation on June 27th in 1312 by three cardinals at St. Jean of Latran (Pope Clement V having remained in Avignon). But malaria and conflict between the Guelphs (the Pope and the House of Anjou) and Ghibellines (followers of the Emperor) weakened his forces, and he died at Buonconvento, near Siena, on August 24, 1313. Interred in the dome of Pisa, he left on Italian soil his dreams of universal monarchy.

Carrollton Leader > News
Shor, Watten seeking re-election to C-FBISD board
By Dan Eakin,
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 1:34 PM CST
Frank Shor of Place 6 and Nancy Watten of Place 7 will seek re-election to the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District board of trustees, while Lynn Chaffin of Place 5 does not plan to seek re-election.
The election will take place May 11.
Chaffin, who has served on the board since 1998, said, "I think it is time for me to explore other opportunities and give someone else a chance to serve in this position. My time on the school board during the past 15 years had been a very humbling and rewarding experience for me."
Shor said, "Based upon the ranking system of the Educational Resource Group, the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District's academic performance ranks in the top 10 percent of the 200 largest school districts in the state of Texas. My goal will be to continue to challenge the administration with respect to 'the means' advocated toward achieving our universal goal of "high achievement for all students."
He added, "Despite the challenges of decreased funding and a transient student population, our district has continually improved during the six years that have been a member of the board of trustees. It would be both naďve and arrogant for to suggest that is because of me. However, my being recognized as a Master Trustee by the Texas Association of School Boards certainly helps our district's efforts in becoming the number one ranked school district in the state by the Educational Resource Group."
Watten said, "As a school board member for six years and as a former classroom teacher of 32 years, I think it is important to have an educator on the board of trustees. We are most fortunate to have a knowledgeable and dedicated group of seven who bring a variety of expertise into our discussions and decisions. But, the other six members are always interested in my perspective as a former instructor of children."
She added, "I am hoping that our state legislature and governor will finally comprehend that our staffs are so overloaded with preparing for the state-mandated tests that they are squeezed for time in presenting the actual curriculum. It has resulted in high stress and low morale amongst our educators."
She continued, "Serving on our C-FBISD Board. of Trustees for the past six years has allowed me to associate with board members throughout the state. I always wear my nametag proudly as we are the envy of other districts. We are fortunate to have administrators and supervisors who carefully watch our 'purse strings' and who always keep 'high achievement for all children' a priority in their decisions. Thanks to these leaders we have been able to maintain programs that many other districts have had to eliminate."
"One of the areas I would hope to strengthen in the near future is to add more instructional aides to all of our schools," she said. "Because of the increased testing, our district's changing demographics and the demanding paperwork, their responsibilities are multiplied each year. These personnel are critical to our students' education."
She concluded, "I am also filing to serve once again on the CFBISD Board of Trustees in order to continue my dedication to the maintenance of the excellent quality and reputation of our school district."
The filing period began last week and continues through March 1 in the office of the superintendent in the C-FBISD's administration office at 1445 N. Perry Road in Carrollton.
Candidates may file between 8 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Rotary club hosts public safety celebration
By Heather M. Goodwin, firstname.lastname@example.com
Every day the members of the Southlake Department of Public Safety (DPS) spend their time protecting residents and recently residents were given the opportunity to recognize their work.
On June 2, the Rotary Club of Southlake honored area firefighters, police officers and support personnel with its annual DPS Appreciation Celebration at the gazebo in Southlake Town Square. The event included fire engines, police cars and motorcycles on display, as well as live music, children's activities, a blood drive, free food and refreshments.
"This year's event went great. We had great attendance, and it seems to be getting bigger every year," said Christine Singh, chairwoman of the event. "We are so grateful to our public safety officers. This is our chance to recognize their contributions. We have sponsored this community event for the past eight years. The entire premise is to honor law enforcement."
"It was tough choice for the committee to make its final selection but I am very proud to announce this year's recipient is officer Frank Rogers," said Chief Stephen Mylett.
Rogers accepted the award with his wife Pam and children, Benjamin, Gavin, and Raven.
"I'm still on cloud nine and a little choked up that my sergeant and fellow officers nominated me for such a prestigious award. It is such an honor for me and my family," Rogers said.
Rogers was nominated for "Officer of the Year" for his work in helping to track down and capture two burglars who had been targeting Southlake. In January, Rogers met with the victim of a theft who said someone had entered her vehicle and stolen her wallet. The suspects took cash and several credit cards. Rogers later received a call from the victim stating that her credit cards had just been used nearby.
Rogers responded to those locations and got a description of the suspects and the color and make of the vehicle they used. While on patrol a few days later, Rogers located the suspects driving in a vehicle matching the description. With help from the Criminal Investigative Division (CID), the driver of the vehicle was arrested for a parking violation while the burglary investigation continued.
Officers were able to make a connection from the recent robberies to the suspects in custody.
"Due to the efforts that officer Rogers originally put forth in the primary investigation and the follow-up, his commitment to excellence in his job performance and to the safety of Southlake residents, two offenders of multiple offenses within our city were apprehended," Mylett wrote in his nomination of Rogers.
"Officer Frank Rogers represents the kind of officers we have working in DPS Police Services and serving the citizens of Southlake," Mylett said.
Rogers received a plaque, gifts certificates and other gifts from the Southlake Rotary Club.
Also during the celebration, the Rotary Club of Southlake awarded scholarships to the children of local public service workers. Singh said the event's sponsors including the chief sponsor Moritz Kia Hurst and other sponsors including Park Place Motorcars, Providence Bank of Texas, SSB, UST and many others, help fund the scholarships. During the 2011 event, the club awarded $3000 in college scholarships to DPS families.
"We wanted to give back to our officers, so we award scholarships to their children," Singh said. "It's just another way to thank the officers."
Southlake Noon Rotary Club is a non-profit organization and is part of Rotary International. The club meets on Fridays at noon at the Timarron Country Club. Rotary International is the world's largest service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace and eradicate polio under the motto "Service Above Self."
