Potnia Theron
Potnia Theron (Ἡ Πότνια Θηρῶν, "The Mistress of the Animals") is a term first used (once) by Homer (Iliad 21. 470) and often used to describe female divinities associated with animals. The word "Potnia", meaning mistress or lady, was a Mycenaean Greek word inherited by Classical Greek, with the same meaning, cognate to Sanskrit "."
Homer's mention of "potnia theron" is thought to refer to Artemis and Walter Burkert describes this mention as "a well established formula". An Artemis type deity, a 'Mistress of the Animals', is often assumed to have existed in prehistorical religion and often referred to as Potnia Theron, with some scholars positing a relationship between Artemis | 11,206 |
511966 | Potnia Theron | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Potnia%20Theron | Potnia Theron
th some scholars positing a relationship between Artemis and goddesses depicted in Minoan art and ""Potnia Theron" has become a generic term for any female associated with animals."
Many depictions in ancient art present a widespread ancient motif of the mistress of Animals, showing a central figure with a human form grasping two animals, one to each side. The oldest depiction has been discovered in Çatalhöyük.
An early example of "Potnia theròn" is situated in Museo civico archeologico di Monte Rinaldo in Italy: plate illustrates goddess that wears a long dress and holds hands with two lionesses.

Matthew H. Carpenter
Matthew Hale Carpenter (born Decatur Merritt Hammond Carpenter; December 22, 1824 – February 24, 1881) was an American attorney and U.S. Senator representing the state of Wisconsin. He served in the Senate from 1869 to 1875 and again from 1879 to 1881. Recognized as an authority on constitutional law, he made some of the most important legal arguments of 19th-century America. Carpenter presented cases before the U. S. Supreme Court involving such matters as states' rights and regulation of corporations.
Originally a Democrat, he evolved into a Republican during the Civil War, and helped perpetuate the party's political machinery in Wisconsin. His sustained support for President | 11,209 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
Ulysses S. Grant's administration despite allegations of corruption lost him the backing of reformers, and his legal arguments in favor of Democratic candidate Samuel J. Tilden in the disputed presidential election of 1876 outraged many Republicans. A gifted orator, he was dubbed "the Webster of the West."
# Background and education.
Carpenter was born in Moretown, Vermont in the Mad River Valley of the Green Mountain range. His pioneering forebears were English, and came to America soon after the Pilgrims. His grandfather Cephas Carpenter (1770–1860) helped establish Moretown, owned a store, served as a colonel in the militia and took part in the War of 1812. Cephas Carpenter served in local | 11,210 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
office including justice of the peace, and though not a member of the bar, possessed wisdom and eloquence that led to a career as an advocate in the local courts.
His son Ira Carpenter (1798–1862) was chiefly a farmer, but he also gained prominence through positions such as justice of the peace, postmaster and state legislator.
Grandson Merritt displayed intelligence and oratorical talents at an early age, impressing people with his abilities to recite Cicero and "exhort" at religious revivals. He also displayed an aversion to physical work.
After an explosive argument with a schoolmaster, the 13-year-old Carpenter was expelled from school. He was dissatisfied with the limits of Moretown, | 11,211 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
and left home to live and study law under the tutelage of family friend (and future Vermont governor) Paul Dillingham in nearby Waterbury. For four years Carpenter attended the local grade school while absorbing Dillingham's law library. Having received an appointment to the United States Military Academy through Vermont Congressman John Mattocks, Carpenter continued his studies, but he disliked military life and resigned in August 1845, citing poor health.
He returned to live in Dillingham's home and managed his law office while Dillingham was then a congressman in Washington, D.C. Upon Carpenter's admission to the Vermont bar in November 1847 Dillingham offered to make him his law partner, | 11,212 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
but Carpenter declined so he could further his law studies under Rufus Choate of Boston. Choate was also impressed with Carpenter, and after a few months he too offered him a partnership, but Carpenter sought to make a name and career for himself in the West.
# Wisconsin attorney.
After reading that the territory of Wisconsin had passed its constitution and was soon to become a state, Carpenter chose to migrate west and begin his career as a lawyer in Beloit on the endorsement of that spot by the New England Emigrating Society's Dr. Horace C. White. Arriving in June 1848, Carpenter quickly established a reputation as a successful and affordable attorney, attracting much acclaim from the local | 11,213 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
community.
His practice was interrupted by a painful inflammation of his eyes which rendered him blind. After traveling to New York to seek treatment, his sight gradually recovered after a year as he convalesced in the Waterbury home of his mentor Dillingham. Before returning to Wisconsin he became engaged to Dillingham's daughter Catherine, and they married five years later.
In 1850 Carpenter returned to resume his law practice in Beloit using a new name, Matthew (Matt) Hale Carpenter, after Sir Matthew Hale, the noted English jurist of the 17th century. Despite an earlier warning from Choate to steer clear of politics, Carpenter successfully ran for Rock County district attorney, serving | 11,214 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
from 1850 to 1852 and 1854 to 1856. He was a Democrat in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, but he disdained the party's pro-slavery platform while also rejecting Whig Party notions of opposing slavery based on "higher law"—the idea that individual belief of right and wrong permitted an individual to violate objectionable statutes and ordinances. After appearing to lose a close election for another term as Rock County district attorney in 1854, Carpenter successfully argued that courts could look beyond election board certifications and re-examine voter returns, resulting in the election being overturned.
# "Gardner v. Tisdale".
In 1855 Carpenter discovered that many Beloit | 11,215 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
residents did not hold legal title to their land because it was sold to them by someone who had pre-empted the land but had not received official title from the government (Congress had previously outlawed the pre-emption of non-agricultural land). Carpenter put forth the theory that the original pre-emptor was still technically the owner of the property. After several complicated transactions, some of which included Paul Dillingham selling new titles to the landowners, and appeals as far as the United States Supreme Court, which included participation by Dillingham, Rufus Choate, Abraham Lincoln and other prominent attorneys, Carpenter's legal theory was rejected in a similar case, so the Wisconsin | 11,216 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
case was withdrawn.
# Barstow-Bashford election dispute.
Wisconsin's gubernatorial election of 1855 was thrown into doubt when incumbent Democratic governor William A. Barstow was ruled the 157-vote victor over Republican Coles Bashford by a board of canvassers friendly to Barstow. Discrepancies were discovered in the election returns and political tensions rose as both parties claimed the office and swore in their candidates. Hired by Barstow, Carpenter stalled by repeatedly postponing the case before the state supreme court. He claimed that they held no jurisdiction because elections were matters of the executive branch, which had ruled Barstow the winner. Nevertheless, the court did claim | 11,217 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
jurisdiction and the ability to examine election tallies (as Carpenter had previously argued for his own election for district attorney). Barstow then resigned, elevating Lieutenant Governor Arthur MacArthur to the governorship. After the court ruled that Bashford was the rightful governor, MacArthur gave up the office. Barstow subsequently refused to pay Carpenter his fee.
Despite his defeat Carpenter had demonstrated his legal prowess to the state. With his list of clients growing and his popularity waning in Beloit in the wake of the "Gardner v. Tisdale" case, he moved his practice to Milwaukee in 1858. He was also coaxed there by Democratic party boss Josiah Noonan, who arranged a law partnership | 11,218 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
between Carpenter and Edward G. Ryan, another highly regarded attorney and a force in the state Democratic Party. Despite their excellent credentials, they proved to be temperamentally incompatible, and ended their partnership the next year.
By the time Carpenter moved to Milwaukee he had become adept in the area of railroad litigation and sued many railroads on behalf of investors left holding bonds made worthless by fraudulent manipulation. His debut before the U.S. Supreme Court resulted in his winning a judgment against the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad Company. He was also successful as part of a team of lawyers defending abolitionist Sherman Booth from a charge of rape.
# Loyal Democrat | 11,219 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
during the Civil War.
Carpenter supported Democrat Stephen Douglas in the 1860 presidential election, viewing Republican Abraham Lincoln as an honest but incompetent sectional candidate. Yet, he warned those in his party that he saw secession as treason, and he would be "the first man to raise a musket" in defense of the Constitution. Following the Confederates' attack on Fort Sumter in 1861, Carpenter did not enlist but became a rousing speaker in support of the Union cause.
While he saw that many federal actions would be unconstitutional in peacetime, he reasoned that arbitrary arrests and suspensions of "habeas corpus" were acts of self-preservation during wartime and thereby permitted. | 11,220 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
He also became an early advocate for emancipation, but only as a war measure rather than an act of humanity. Excluded from meetings of the Democratic leadership, Carpenter joined other like-minded party members of the "Loyal Democracy" in considering a third party in Wisconsin, but nothing came of it.
Personal letters he had written saying Lincoln was "idiotic" found their way into newspapers, but Carpenter supported him for re-election in 1864 by making numerous pro-Union and pro-Lincoln speeches.
# Defining the Reconstruction Acts.
Carpenter was the key attorney in a series of landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court which helped define states' rights by determining the legality of | 11,221 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
the Reconstruction acts passed by Congress.
"Ex parte Garland" dealt with the disbarment from federal courts of Southern lawyers who refused to take an oath swearing they had not taken up arms or assisted the Confederacy. Carpenter argued that the act passed on January 24, 1865 was ex post facto (the war had since ended) and a bill of attainder (it punished without a trial). In December 1865 the court upheld his argument with the majority opinion employing phrases from Carpenter's brief.
"Ex parte McCardle" concerned the legal authority of the occupying Union Army. Confederate Colonel William L. McCardle, the editor of the "Vicksburg Times", was charged with defying military authority by inciting | 11,222 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
rebellion, libeling federal officials, and intimidating voters. After the circuit court denied him a writ of habeas corpus, McCardle appealed to the Supreme Court. Carpenter argued that the court lacked jurisdiction over a president's official acts, as in a similar case of his, "Georgia vs. Grant". Rather than claiming the Union's "right of conquest," Carpenter said the Southern states had surrendered their constitutional protections when they had seceded, essentially reverting to territories.
After he concluded his eloquent arguments, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton hugged him, declaring "Carpenter, you have saved us!" Even McCardle's attorney Jeremiah S. Black lauded him as "the first Constitutional | 11,223 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
lawyer in the country." However, Radical Republicans in Congress feared that the reconstruction acts would be ruled unconstitutional, so they quickly pushed through a law repealing the Habeas Corpus Act of 1867, barring jurisdiction in pending cases and preventing a clear decision from being rendered by the court.
In the Slaughterhouse cases Carpenter represented the Crescent City Livestock Landing and Slaughterhouse Company, which had been granted a monopoly on all slaughterhouse business in New Orleans by the carpetbag state legislature of Louisiana in 1869. Butchers and cattle dealers thrown out of work by the law obtained an injunction from a district court, claiming they had been denied | 11,224 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment and deprived of property under the due process clause. Making a plea for states' rights, Carpenter contended that the amendment had been intended solely to elevate African Americans and had no bearing on economic statutes passed by a state. He also warned of too many powers being centralized in the federal government. The court concurred in Carpenter's narrowing of the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment.
In "Bradwell vs. Illinois", Carpenter sought to broaden the amendment's protections in the case of the editor of the Chicago "Legal News", Myra Bradwell, who had been denied admission to the bar of the Illinois Supreme Court because she was a woman. | 11,225 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
Representing Bradwell, Carpenter argued that no class of people could be excluded from practicing the legal profession. The federal court disagreed, questioning the propriety of ruling on a state's qualifications for admission to the bar.
These cases brought Carpenter handsome fees, national acclaim, and much derision from the losing factions. He'd also won the support of Stanton and President Ulysses S. Grant, who both urged him to run as a Republican for the U.S. Senate.
# Republican senator.
Following the Civil War Carpenter's transformation from a Jeffersonian Democrat into a Republican was complete. Despite reports that he backed President Andrew Johnson's policies, he made speeches | 11,226 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
supporting the Radical congress. He called for the enfranchisement of African-American men and invited members of the Loyal Democracy to join the Republicans, as he himself did in the summer of 1867 with his support for Governor Lucius Fairchild's re-election.
With high-profile backing Carpenter ran successfully for the senate seat occupied by James R. Doolittle, a "Johnsonized" Republican who had fallen out of favor with his party. With his victory he solidified his status with the "Madison Regency," a Republican group that included former governor and Johnson's Postmaster General Alexander Randall, Madison postmaster Elisha W. Keyes and "Wisconsin State Journal" editor and Republican state | 11,227 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
central committee chairman Horace Rublee. After Rublee was appointed minister to Switzerland by President Grant, Keyes became party chairman and closely coordinated with Carpenter to distribute federal patronage jobs to political allies.
Once in the Senate, Carpenter moderated his views to the degree that he became one of the spokesmen of the emerging Stalwart Republicans. He opposed any "fundamental conditions" placed on states wishing to be readmitted to the Union, and favored blanket amnesty for former Confederates. Carpenter was known as one of the staunchest supporters of the corrupt Grant administration. In the Senate he presented an unabashed defense of political patronage, mocking the | 11,228 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
idea of civil service reform. He also feuded with Liberal Republican senators Charles Sumner and Carl Schurz over many issues. He delivered a sarcastic denunciation of Sumner's wide-reaching civil rights amendment to the Confederate amnesty bill. As the chair of an investigating committee he also debunked Sumner and Schurz's claim that the War Department had broken its neutrality when it sold outmoded rifles to France during the Franco-Prussian War. Despite such skirmishes Carpenter was a respected figure in the senate, being elected president pro tempore by his colleagues in 1871. He also served as chairman of the Committee on Enrolled Bills (42nd Congress) and the Committee to Audit and Control | 11,229 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
the Contingent Expense (42nd and 43rd Congresses).
As part of another committee inquiry, Carpenter went to Louisiana to investigate election claims in order to determine the rightful governor of the contested state. His report was highly critical of both factions, but he urged the recognition of Republican governor William P. Kellogg. Years later Carpenter's impartiality was called into question when personal letters revealed a close relationship between the two, including a "desperately short" Carpenter asking Kellogg for a $1,000 loan.
# Drawing fire from press and party.
As Carpenter's influence grew within the Grant administration, so did the condemnations from the press. One of his Senate | 11,230 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
investigations resulted in two journalists being jailed for not divulging the source of a leaked treaty. Opposition newspapers like the "New York Tribune" responded by not only criticizing Carpenter's methods, but by also condemning his moral character by bringing his private life into question. Later in his term editors accused Carpenter of trying to effectively "gag" newspapers by advancing a bill that would allow judicial process to be served upon the agents (i.e. interviewers) of persons involved in civil suits.
In 1873 Carpenter angered many in his own party by taking positions that ran counter to the stalwart doctrine. In a spirit of reform he boldly owned up to administration excesses | 11,231 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
such as the Credit Mobilier and the "Salary Grab," defending them in a speech in Janesville. In a speech at Ripon he denounced the railroads, insisting they were public highways paid for with government land grants. He also stated his belief that the government has a right as well as a duty to regulate corporations.
Wishing to make the "Milwaukee Sentinel" into a more reliable organ for the state Republican party, Carpenter and other backers bought the paper and forced out editor Alexander M. Thomson, who had been instrumental in getting Carpenter elected senator. Thomson was now deemed too critical of the party machine. His ousting made him a lifelong enemy of Carpenter. The "Sentinel" soon | 11,232 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
was seen as Carpenter's personal mouthpiece.
Despite the incessant criticism, Carpenter was seen as being easily re-elected in 1875. Nevertheless, a surprise bolt by disgruntled Republicans combined with votes by calculating Democrats resulted in the election of Angus Cameron, a La Crosse Republican.
# Out of office and under scrutiny.
In 1875 Carpenter was implicated in the Whiskey Ring scandal that funneled federal liquor tax revenues to some states' Republican parties. Although he was close to key participants in the Milwaukee ring, no evidence emerged to prove his involvement.
During this time he was also defending Grant's Secretary of War William W. Belknap against charges that he had | 11,233 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
accepted money in exchange for the appointment of a post trader. Despite Belknap's immediate resignation outraged House Democrats proceeded with his impeachment. Carpenter portrayed Belknap as the hapless victim of a social-climbing wife, but his legal victory relied on his assertion that jurisdiction over Belknap ended with his resignation.
Following the disputed presidential election of 1876, Carpenter was hired by supporters of the Democratic candidate Samuel J. Tilden to examine Louisiana's vote counts and argue for victory over Republican Rutherford B. Hayes. Carpenter's first-hand accounts of the corrupt Republican state administration gave the Democrats some reason for hope, but ultimately | 11,234 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
the partisan make-up of the special electoral commission (7 Republicans, 6 Democrats) and its refusal to look behind the certified counts made many of their rulings a forgone conclusive win for Hayes.
# Return to the senate.
Despite ongoing press criticism and declining health, in 1878 Carpenter launched a bid for the senate seat occupied by Republican Timothy Howe. With the help of a strong lobby, he won over enough votes in the legislature to prevail over state party boss (and former friend) Elisha W. Keyes.
Carpenter's second term as senator lacked the political drama of his Reconstruction years. He spoke in favor of President Rutherford B. Hayes's maintenance of federal troops at southern | 11,235 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
polling places. He also vigorously opposed the Democrats' proposed pardoning of General Fitz-John Porter for ignoring General John Pope's orders at Manassas in 1863, arguing that the power of pardon resides solely with the president. Carpenter remained a loyal supporter of President Grant in his quest for a third term, igniting bitter debates between Carpenter and White House aspirant Senator James G. Blaine of Maine.
# Death.
While Carpenter's evident declining health was attributed to his indulgent lifestyle, he also suffered from the lung congestion of Bright's disease. After a cycle of relapses and recoveries he died on February 24, 1881 at his Washington, D.C. home surrounded by friends | 11,236 |
511914 | Matthew H. Carpenter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew%20H.%20Carpenter | Matthew H. Carpenter
and family. He was buried at Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee.
# Family.
In 1855 Carpenter married Caroline Dillingham, the daughter of Paul Dillingham. They were the parents of four children. Daughters Ada and Annie were born and died in 1860. The other two lived to adulthood—a daughter named Lilian (1857–1942) and a son named Paul Dillingham Carpenter (1867–1932). Paul D. Carpenter was an attorney in Milwaukee and also served as judge of the county court.

# History.
Founded in 1905 as the Petawawa Military Camp, or Camp Petawawa, the Garrison was created by the Department of Militia and Defence upon the purchase | 11,241 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
of of mostly agricultural property from local residents.
The Garrison derives its name from the Petawawa River. The origin of the name PETAWAWA is lost in antiquity, but legend has it that it is an Algonquian Native-Aboriginal word pronounced PETWEWE. The translation is thought to mean, "Where one hears noise like this", referring to the sound of the fast water over the rocks in the river. In another legend it is said that the area was named after an indigenous woman who inhabited the banks of the Petawawa River and lived to the age of 115 years.
Early French explorers used a trail or route through this area. The Mattawa Trail, now called Mattawa Road still exists on parts of the base today. | 11,242 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
The site was originally a German immigrant settlement. German pioneers toiled to build a community out of the harsh and rugged terrain. Some of the topographical features in the training area still bear the names of these early settlers.
By 1904 the Department of Militia and Defence purchased 150 properties from these settlers totaling . The Royal Canadian Horse and Garrison Artillery were the first to train at Petawawa Military Camp during the summer of 1905. In 1906 the Royal Canadian Engineers constructed huts, stables and installed water and gas systems. In that same year "A" and "B" Batteries of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, commenced the first of many marches to Camp Petawawa for | 11,243 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
summer training from their permanent station in Kingston, Ontario.
By 1907 combined training and tactical exercises were conducted by various other units such as A and B Squadron, Royal Canadian Dragoons; A and B Batteries, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery; No. 2 Company, Royal Canadian Engineers; a battalion from The Royal Canadian Regiment; and detachments from the Medical and Ordnance Corps.
The first military aircraft flight in Canada took place at Petawawa. On 31 July 1909 under perfect weather conditions, J.A.D. McCurdy and F.W. Baldwin flew the "Silver Dart" at Camp Petawawa in the presence of military observers.
From December 1914 to May 1916, Petawawa was used as an internment camp | 11,244 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
for 750 German and Austrian prisoners of World War I. Most of these men were civilian internees, the majority of them Ukrainians and other Europeans who came to the Dominion from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and so were categorized as "enemy aliens" at the outbreak of the war. At the same time Canada Car and Foundry Company had developed three inch shells and were being tested at the camp by Russian artillery. The prisoners, in effect forced labourers, were instrumental in helping clear roads and timber opening up an artillery range and so making these tests possible. From May 1916 to 1918, 10,767 Canadian troops were trained at Petawawa before being sent overseas.
During World War II, three | 11,245 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
training centres (two artillery and one engineering) were established at Camp Petawawa. In September 1942, 12,515 troops were stationed on the base. The peak load was reached during 1943 when approximately 20,000 troops were undergoing training at one time. As in the previous war, Petawawa was the site of an internment camp. The camp's official designation was Internment Camp No.33; located at Centre Lake it held 645 civilian internees. There were 28 different nationalities, the majority being Italian and German people identified as enemy aliens.
In 1947, the training of militia and regular units of the Canadian Army resumed. The Royal Canadian Dragoons and 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian | 11,246 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
Regiment were moved to Camp Petawawa in 1948. Upon being given the status of a permanent camp, it was officially designated " Camp Petawawa" in May 1951. During the next few years construction continued in order to accommodate more regular units, married quarters and schools for the soldier's dependents. Units of the Special Force, such as 2 RCHA, 8th Hussars, PPCLI, and 1 RCR earmarked for service in Korea were concentrated at Petawawa before transferring to the United States for departure to the Korean Theatre. The 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade Group was stationed to Petawawa upon return from Germany in 1959. This formation was redesignated 2 Combat Group in 1966.
The unification of the Canadian | 11,247 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
Forces resulted in Camp Petawawa being renamed Canadian Forces Base Petawawa (CFB Petawawa) on February 1, 1968. Under the CF, the base was allocated to Mobile Command.
On 1 April 1977, 2 Combat Group was disbanded. 2 Combat Group combined with the Canadian Airborne Regiment at CFB Petawawa to form the Special Service Force. The Special Service Force constituted a unique chapter in Canada's military history. It derived its name from the first Special Service Force, an historic formation of Americans and Canadians which pioneered special forces operations in a brief but immensely successful history during the second world war. The latter-day Special Service Force represented a compromise between | 11,248 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
the general purpose combat capabilities of a normal brigade and the strategic and tactical flexibility which derived from the lighter and more mobile capabilities of the Canadian Airborne Regiment. Units and soldiers of the Special Service Force served in operations both at home and around the world.
The Special Service Force was officially re-designated as 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group by a Ministerial Order signed on 24 April 1995. This decision to re-organize and re-equip the formation was due to current emphasis in Canadian defence policy on general-purpose capabilities. With a smaller force structure, a smaller defence budget and more frequent operational taskings, it has become | 11,249 |
511922 | Garrison Petawawa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison%20Petawawa | Garrison Petawawa
clear that general-purpose capabilities provide the best return on Canada's investment in defence. Accordingly, 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group of Petawawa has been designed to be a mirror image of its two sister formations, 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, based in Edmonton, Alberta and 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, based in Valcartier, Quebec.
Barracks Building F-16 (constructed in 1953) was designated a Recognized Federal Heritage Building in 1995, due to its association with the efforts of the Canadian Armed Forces to meet Canada's post-World War II international commitments, and due to its modern classicist architecture common among federal buildings of the period.

## 1966–1968.
In October 1966, "Stickell" entered the Boston Naval Shipyard for overhaul. She emerged in February 1967 and headed toward Guantánamo Bay for refresher training. "Stickell" then headed for Culebra Island where she qualified as a naval gunfire support ship. After a short inport period, "Stickell" deployed on a four-month ASW cruise. During the northern European segment of the cruise, "Stickell" visited Bergen, Norway; Aarhus, Denmark; Sundsvall, Sweden; and Thurso, Scotland. She operated with ships and aircraft from the navies of Norway, | 11,267 |

At the end of this, her last, deployment, "Stickell" remained in the Virginia Capes area - for the most part at anchor or in port. She spent most of the remainder of 1971 and the first half of 1972 preparing for decommissioning and transfers to the government of Greece. On 1 July 1972, "Stickell" was decommissioned and struck from the Navy list. Immediately thereafter, the Greek Navy took possession of her and recommissioned her as "Kanaris" (D212).

USS Jacob Jones (DD-61)
USS "Jacob Jones" (Destroyer No. 61/DD-61) was a built for the United States Navy prior to the American entry into World War I. The ship was the first U.S. Navy vessel named in honor of Jacob Jones.
"Jacob Jones" was laid down by the New York Shipbuilding of Camden, New Jersey, in August 1914 and launched in May of the following year. The ship was a little more than in length, just over abeam, and had a standard displacement of . She was armed with four guns and had eight 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes. "Jacob Jones" was powered by a pair of steam turbines that propelled her at up to .

England coast. After the United States entered World War I in April 1917, "Jacob Jones" was sent overseas. Patrolling the Irish Sea out of Queenstown, Ireland, "Jacob Jones" rescued the survivors of several ships, picking up over 300 from the sunken Armed merchant cruiser .
On 6 December, "Jacob Jones" was steaming independently from Brest, France, for Queenstown, when she was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine with the loss of 66 men, becoming the first United States destroyer sunk by enemy action. "Jacob Jones" sank in eight minutes without issuing a distress call; the German submarine commander, "Kapitänleutnant" Hans Rose, after taking two badly injured "Jacob Jones" crewmen aboard | 11,276 |

his submarine, radioed the U.S. base at Queenstown with the coordinates for the survivors. The Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Dedham, Massachusetts is named for the ship.
# Design and construction.
"Jacob Jones" was authorized in 1913 as the fifth ship of the which, like the related , was an improved version of the s authorized in 1911. Construction of the vessel was awarded to New York Shipbuilding of Camden, New Jersey, which laid down her keel on 3 August 1914. Ten months later, on 29 May 1915, "Jacob Jones" was launched by sponsor Mrs. Jerome Parker Crittenden (née "Paulina Cazenove Jones"), a great-granddaughter of the ship's namesake, Commodore Jacob Jones (1768–1850), a U.S. Navy | 11,277 |

Navy had called for two anti-aircraft guns for the "Tucker"-class ships, as well as provisions for laying up to 36 floating mines. From sources, it is unclear if these recommendations were followed for "Jacob Jones" or any of the other ships of the class.
# United States Navy career.
USS "Jacob Jones" was commissioned into the United States Navy on 10 February 1916 under the command of Lieutenant Commander William S. Pye. Following her commissioning, "Jacob Jones" conducted training exercises off the New England coast, and then entered the Philadelphia Navy Yard for repairs. On 3 Feb. 1917, the day the United States broke diplomatic relations with Germany, the ship nearly sank in the naval | 11,279 |

yard. Contemporary reports said it might have been an act of sabotage. Upon the United States' entry into World War I on 6 April 1917, "Jacob Jones" patrolled off the coast of Virginia. She sailed from Boston for Europe on 7 May with a group of destroyers that included , and arrived at Queenstown, Ireland, on 17 May.
"Jacob Jones" duties at Queenstown involved patrolling and escorting convoys in the Irish Sea and making occasional rescues of survivors of sunken ships. On 8 July, was torpedoed by German submarine some west of Fastnet Rock; "Jacob Jones" arrived on the scene and picked up 44 survivors of the British steamship. While escorting British steamship two weeks later, lookouts on "Jacob | 11,280 |

Jones" sighted a periscope, but before the destroyer could make an attack on the submarine, torpedoed and sank the steamship. "Jacob Jones" was able to take on 26 of "Dafila"s 28-member crew after the ship went down.
On 19 October, the British Armed merchant cruiser and ten destroyers, including "Jacob Jones", were escorting an eastbound convoy of twenty steamers, when German submarine surfaced in the midst of the group. The submarine launched its only remaining torpedo at "Orama", sinking that vessel. While sister ship saw and depth charged "U-62" (to no avail), "Jacob Jones" turned her attentions to rescuing "Orama"s survivors, gathering 309.
# Sinking.
In early December, "Jacob Jones" | 11,281 |
511925 | USS Jacob Jones (DD-61) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=USS%20Jacob%20Jones%20(DD-61) | USS Jacob Jones (DD-61)
helped escort a convoy to Brest, France, with five other Queenstown-based destroyers. The last to depart from Brest on the return to Ireland, "Jacob Jones" was steaming alone in a zig-zag pattern when she was spotted by "Kapitänleutnant" Hans Rose on the German submarine . At 16:20 on 6 December 1917, near position , lookouts on "Jacob Jones" spotted a torpedo distant headed for the ship's starboard side. Despite having her rudder put hard left and emergency speed rung up, "Jacob Jones" was unable to move out of the way, and the torpedo struck her rudder. Even though the depth charges did not explode, "Jacob Jones" was adrift. The jolt had knocked out power, so the destroyer was unable to send | 11,282 |
511925 | USS Jacob Jones (DD-61) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=USS%20Jacob%20Jones%20(DD-61) | USS Jacob Jones (DD-61)
a distress signal; since she was steaming alone, no other ship was present to know of "Jacob Jones" predicament.
Commander David W. Bagley, the destroyer's commander, ordered all life rafts and boats launched. As the ship sank, her bow raised in the air almost vertically before she began to slip beneath the waves. At this point the armed depth charges began to explode, killing men who had been unable to escape the destroyer, and stunning many others in the water. The destroyer, the first United States destroyer ever lost to enemy action, sank eight minutes after the torpedo struck the rudder, taking with her two officers and 64 men.
In the water, several of the crew — most notably Lieutenant, | 11,283 |

Junior Grade, Stanton F. Kalk, the officer-of-the-deck when the torpedo struck — began to get men out of the water and into the life rafts. Kalk worked in the cold Atlantic water to equalize the load among the various rafts, but died of exhaustion and exposure.
Bagley noted in his official account that about 30 minutes after "Jacob Jones" sank, the German submarine surfaced about two to three miles from the collection of rafts and took one of the American sailors on board. According to Uboat.net, what Rose of "U-53" had done was surface and take aboard two badly injured American sailors. Rose had also radioed the American base at Queenstown with the approximate coordinates of the sinking before | 11,284 |

departing the area.
Bagley, unaware of Rose's humanitarian gesture, left most of the food, water, and medical supplies with Lieutenant Commander John K. Richards, whom he left in charge of the assembled rafts. Bagley, Lieutenant Commander Norman Scott ("Jacob Jones" executive officer) and four crewmen (brought along to row), set out for aid in the nearby Isles of Scilly. At 13:00 on 7 December, Bagley's group was sighted by a British patrol vessel just six nautical miles (11 km) from their destination. The group was relieved to find that the British sloop had found and taken aboard most of the survivors earlier that morning; a small group had been rescued on the night of the sinking by the | 11,285 |

American steamer .
Several men were recognized for their actions in the aftermath of the torpedo attack. Kalk (posthumously) and Bagley received the Navy Distinguished Service Medal. Others honored included Chief Boatswain's Mate Harry Gibson (posthumously) and Chief Electrician's Mate L. J. Kelly, who both received the Navy Cross; and Richards, Scott, and Chief Boatswain's Mate Charles Charlesworth all received letters of commendation. Rose was awarded the Pour le Mérite and Ritterkreuz des Hohenzollerschen Hausordens mit Schwertern for this and other achievements in the tonnage war.

Wellington Province
The Wellington Province was a province of New Zealand from 1853 until the abolition of provincial government in 1876.
# Area.
The province governed much of the southern half of the North Island, roughly the same area now known as the Manawatu-Wanganui and Wellington Regions.
In the centre of the island the Wellington Province shared a boundary with the Auckland Province at latitude 39° south. To the west, just beyond the town of Waverley was the southern border of Taranaki Province.
East of the main divide, the boundary with Hawke's Bay Province lay just south of Woodville. This province was separated from Wellington Province on 1 November 1858.
Wellington's former provincial | 11,288 |

Blazon is;
- Arms: Quarterly Gules and Azure, a Cross Or between; In the first quarter a Fleece Or; in the second quarter on Water barry wavy proper in base a Lymphad sail furled pennon and flags flying Argent; in the third quarter a Garb Or; in the fourth quarter five Plates in Saltire Argent.
- Crest: On a Mural Crown Argent a Dolphin Naiant Azure, Mantled Gules.
- Supporters: On the dexter side a Lion gorged with a Collar and Chain reflexed over the back Or, and on the sinister side a Moa proper.
- Motto: Suprema a Situ
Translation of the Blazon:
The shield is divided vertically and horizontally, quarter of which the first and fourth are red and the remaining pair are blue. A golden | 11,294 |
511981 | Wellington City Council | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20City%20Council | Wellington City Council
cross is placed over the entire shield centrally between these quarters. The top left quarter contains a golden fleece (usually depicted as a whole sheep with a band around its middle). The second quarter is depicted as a silver sailing ship (lymphad) with its sails furled as it would be in port but with its flags flying, placed on waves in their natural colour. The third quarter contains a golden wheat sheaf, and the fourth has five silver discs arranged in a saltire.
The mural crown (a crown depicted as if made of stonewalling) is common as a crest in city coats of arms. It is coloured silver, and from its top comes a swimming dolphin. Around the crest is mantling in red. The supporters on | 11,295 |
511981 | Wellington City Council | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20City%20Council | Wellington City Council
either side of the shield are a golden heraldic lion with a chained collar around its neck to the left, and a moa in its natural colouring on the right (the terms "sinister" and "dexter" relate to the shield from the holder's point of view, not the viewer's, thus dexter is the viewer's left and sinister is the viewer's right). The base on which the supporters stand is normally not emblazoned but is left to the artist to decide. The Motto may be translated as "Supreme by position".
