Udajmy się do Szkocji. Do przełomu 18 i 19 wieku. 3 czerwca 1774 roku W Pisley w rodzinie Jamesa Tannahilla, tkacza, urodził się chłopiec. Rodzice dali mu na imię Robert. W tamtych czasach awans społeczny nie był zjawiskiem powszechnym, Robert więc po ukończeniu szkoły, w wieku 12 lat został jak jego ojciec tkaczem, tkaczem jedwabnej gazy. I nie usłyszelibyśmy o Robercie tkaczu, gdyby chłopiec nie zainteresował się poezją. Ale się zainteresował. Został poetą tkaczem – Weaver Poet, tak go dzisiaj nazywają na wyspach. Pozostawił po sobie parę zbiorów wierszy i innych prac. Nie odniósł wielkiego sukcesu, co zresztą doprowadziło go do samobójczej śmierci w wieku 36 lat. I pewnie nie usłyszelibyśmy tu w Polsce o poecie tkaczu Robercie Tannahillu, gdyby nie zainteresował się muzyką. Ale się zainteresował. Spotkał kompozytora Roberta Archibald Smitha, który opatrzył muzyką parę jego tekstów. Do paru innych muzykę skomponował organista John Ross. Do muzyki Robert miał więcej szczęścia, jego piosenki, śpiewane są chętnie do dzisiaj nie tylko w Szkocji. A przynajmniej 3 z nich stały się podstawą do folkowych „evergreenów” znanych na całym świecie. Robert Tannahill napisał „The Soldier's Adieu”, na jej podstawie przed I wojną światową w Nowej Szkocji powstała piosenka „Farewell To Nova Scotia”, na naszym podwórku znana z polskim tekstem Bogdana Kuśki jako „Brzeg Nowej Szkocji”. Melodia piosenki Tannahilla „Thou Bonnie Wood of Craigielea” została zmodyfikowana przez Christine MacPherson i tak powstała melodia słynnej australijskiej „Waltzing Matilda” Banjo Patersona. No i wreszcie Robert Tannahill do spółki z Archibaldem Smithem stworzyli „The Braes of Balquhidher” (znawcy twierdzą że zaadoptowali do niej melodię jeszcze starszej piosenki, ale nie są zgodni której). Poeta nawiązuje w tekście (podobno) do opowieści swojej niani, Mary McIntyre z parafii Balquhither, o tym jak niania i jej matka upiekły bannock (taki chlebek) dla armii Karola Edwarda Stuarta, maszerującego do Culloden. „The Braes of Balquhidher” usłyszał podczas podróży do Szkocji Irlandzki muzyk, znany z gry na uilleann pipe Francis McPeake. Gdy zmarła jego żona napisał na jej cześć tekst i zaadaptował do niego melodię piosenki Tannahilla. Francis nie wierzył, że jest zdolny ponownie się zakochać, swój żal wyraził w 2 zwrotkach piosenki. Legenda głosi, że jego syn również Francis dopisał 3. zwrotkę niosącą nadzieję (która notabene się spełniła). I tak powstała jedna z najpiękniejszych i najsłynniejszych irlandzkich piosenek folkowych „The Wild Mountain Thyme” - dziki górski tymianek, albo po prostu macierzanka. Piosenka śpiewana w momentach, w których chcemy podnieść słuchaczy na duchu, zasiać ziarno nadziei w chwilach smutku. A sam tytułowy tymianek to na wyspach symbol miłości. Młode dziewczyny używały gałązek tymianku aby poznać imię przyszłego ukochanego a damy dworu wyhaftowanym tymiankiem z pszczołą obdarowywały ulubionych rycerz. Audycja zawiera utwory: „The Braes of Balquhidher” w wykonaniu „The Kells”, słowa: Robert Tannahill, muzyka: Archibald Smiths „The Wild Mountain Thyme” w wykonaniu Liama Clancy, słowa: Francis McPeak I i II, muzyka: Francis McPeake na podstawie „The Braes of Balquhidher” @jarasaseasongi znajdziesz na Facebooku i YouTube

The five candidates for Albemarle County School Board on the 2017 general election ballot appeared at a forum hosted by the League of Women Voters on Thursday. The event took place at the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library’s Central Branch in downtown Charlottesville. Three county School Board seats are up for election this year. Graham Paige is running for a second term as the Samuel Miller District representative. Julian Waters, a 2017 graduate of Western Albemarle High School, is challenging Paige. Katrina Callsen and Mary McIntyre, both newcomers to local politics, are running for the Rio District seat on the School Board. Rio District incumbent Pam Moynihan is not running for reelection. School Board Chairwoman Kate Acuff is running unopposed for a second term as the Jack Jouett District representative. Paige taught in Albemarle County schools for over 20 years and has served as a member of the school division’s Long Range Planning Advisory Committee. He was elected to the School Board in 2015 to fill the unexpired term of Eric Strucko. “I have had a lot of experience in the classroom, and being involved with parents and other people in the community,” Paige said. “I am committed to maintaining the excellence that we enjoy in many areas, while also improving areas in which we recognize problems.” Waters, 18, has served as a student adviser for several of Albemarle County’s high school redesign initiatives. “It’s important for us to have someone fresh out of the system, who can speak directly to students and teachers,” he said. Waters said his priorities as a School Board member would be expanding early childhood education and preschool access, reforming and improving transportation, and increasing teacher compensation. McIntyre holds master’s degrees in music education and literacy instruction. She has taught at schools in Virginia, North Carolina, and Hawaii, and at an American military base in Germany. She worked at Agnor-Hurt Elementary last year as a part-time reading instructor. “Everybody carries the experiences they’ve collected through their life, and those experiences help guide the decisions that they make,” McIntyre said. “My life has always been centered around education.” Callsen, a graduate of Yale University and the University of Virginia School of Law, taught middle school math for two years as a Teach for America corps member. She said her parents, who did not graduate from high school, taught her to value education, hard work, and public service. “That mindset was what pushed me to attend Yale when I thought college was impossible. And it’s what motivated me to become an educator, and work with children,” Callsen said. Acuff, a health policy consultant, said Albemarle’s public schools were among the best in Virginia. However, she said more work was needed to ensure greater equity for economically disadvantaged students. “I am very dedicated to working through possible interventions and opportunities for students, so we can engage every student,” she said. Questions submitted to the candidates by the PTO Council of Albemarle County focused on overcrowding in schools and school modernization needs. Paige said Western Albemarle High School in Crozet would soon need additional building space to alleviate overcrowding there. He said redistricting could be necessary as a last resort to evenly distribute Western Feeder Pattern students in the lower grades. Waters said creative student grouping and instruction could provide immediate, short-term solutions to problems caused by overcrowding. “Insuring that we have the necessary organization done with students and teachers can help us, in addition to exploring increased capacity in terms of infrastructure,” he said. Acuff said the county may need to accelerate a planned expansion of Crozet Elementary School to accommodate the community’s growth. She encouraged county residents to attend the Oct. 26 School Board meeting, at which the board will receive recommendations for high school improvements from a consultant. In 2016, Albemarle County obtained a 61-acre site for a new high school near the intersection of U.S. 29 and Rio Mills Road as a proffer for the Brookhill subdivision. Callsen said she was concerned that building a high school in this location along the new Berkmar Drive extension would “...further divide our students along socioeconomic and racial lines.” McIntyre said the School Board should consider collaborating with the county government to establish health clinics, food pantries and other community resources on the campuses of new schools. “Schools as insular, siloed, buildings... are the schools of the past,” said McIntyre. “The schools of the future have more of a community center atmosphere.” All four of the candidates at Thursday’s forum said they would oppose any state policies that give residents tax credits or vouchers to send their children to private schools. The candidates also were supportive of Virginia’s current restrictions on charter schools. Albemarle County already operates two of the eight public charter schools in Virginia. Candidates were also asked to share their budgeting philosophy for the school division; their thoughts on frequent changes to curriculum in the county schools; and their opinion of the School Board’s decision to close B. F. Yancey Elementary School. Election day is Nov. 7. Download
The six candidates in the three contested races for local office in Albemarle County appeared at the Senior Center on Wednesday at a campaign forum sponsored by the Senior Statesmen of Virginia. “We’re bringing the election down to the local level where it is significant and important for all of us to know what’s going on and to know the people who are in office locally,” said John McCauley, president of the Senior Statesmen of Virginia. This is the third time Board of Supervisors hopeful John Lowry, a Republican, and incumbent Democrat Liz Palmer have faced off at a campaign forum this election cycle. “I was chair of the airport board when the new airport was being built and was chair of the economic development authority for 12 years,” Lowry said. “I am running for office because I believe I can better represent the constituents’ interests in the Samuel Miller District.” Palmer was first elected in 2013, when she defeated incumbent Republican Duane Snow. “I’m having such a good time and feel we’ve done a good job and I want to continue,” Palmer said. “When I moved here I was struck by the condition of our water infrastructure, which is where our built environment meets the natural environment.” The county’s Comprehensive Plan designates 5 percent of Albemarle’s 726 square miles as the growth area. Candidates were asked if that should be expanded to spur economic development. Lowry said the county first needs to fully staff its economic development department following the resignation of its first ever director late last year. “We don’t have an economic development director,” Lowry said. “I think we should have an economic development real estate manager.” Palmer said there are plenty of economic development opportunities in the rural areas and so there is no need to expand the growth area. “What we’re trying to do is leave the rural areas for rural purposes,” Palmer said. “We have wineries and breweries. We have farms that are successful. We are looking now at a project that will process hops from different farms. We have cattle operations. We have all sorts of things in the rural areas.” Candidates also were asked if they would seek to change the revenue-sharing agreement wherein the county pays the city of Charlottesville a portion of its tax revenues to prevent annexation. The agreement was signed in 1982 and is still in effect despite a moratorium on annexation that remains in place. Palmer said she would ask the city to begin using the money to pay for infrastructure to address issues at the city-county borders. “There are a lot of congestion problems in the periphery,” she said. Lowry said the agreement is a contract that was very poorly written. “I wish it had been written in with a sunset agreement,” Lowry said. “The only way to break the contract would result in lawsuits.” Lowry said he would first pursue relief at the General Assembly. School board races After about 45 minutes, the event shifted over to the two contested School Board races. Katrina Callsen and Mary McIntyre met for the first time in a campaign forum in their race to succeed Pam Moynihan for the Rio District’s School Board seat. “Three important things to know about me is that I care about children, I care about my community and I care about education,” said Callsen, a graduate of Yale University who once served with Teach for America. “Education is one of the best chances we have to deal with systemic inequities,” she said. “Now is the time to put someone on the board who has a proven track record working with children.” McIntyre moved with her family to Albemarle County in 2016. “I’m a teacher and a mom and not a politician, so all of this is new to me,” she said. “I haven’t had a traditional education career but I’ve taught in four other school systems.” McIntyre said that in her travels she has found universal truths about public education. “Every child wants to learn but across the country we are struggling to meet the needs of all students,” she said. “We need to address social and economic justices in our community. Until we do that, we are going to continue to have an achievement gap.” Graham Paige, the incumbent School Board member for the Samuel Miller District, answered questions alongside challenger Julian Waters, a 2017 graduate of Western Albemarle High School. Paige pointed to two particular accomplishments since he was first elected to fill the seat vacated by Eric Strucko. “One is the accomplishment of the first phase of renovations at Red Hill Elementary School,” Paige said. “The second is the expansion of foreign language classes in our schools.” However, he said there is a need to continue making improvements, especially to close the achievement gap. Waters, who was born in 1999, said he has lived in the county his entire life. “If there’s one thing I have noticed in our schools it is that change is constant,” Waters said. “As we continue to move forward, it is critical for us to have a perspective on the School Board that has recent experience in the classroom.” Waters said he wants to expand pre-school education to prepare more students for learning and to make sure all students have transportation access to the county’s academies. Other questions probed the candidates’ positions on teacher salaries, multiage classrooms, redistricting and the appropriate level of homework. All candidates for school boards in Virginia run as independents. Supervisor Diantha McKeel, running as a Democrat, was in attendance at the forum but was not invited to participate because she is unopposed in her race for a second term to represent the Jack Jouett District. Democrat Ned Gallaway also was not invited to participate because he is unopposed in his race to succeed Brad Sheffield, a Democrat who did not seek re-election, in the Rio District. Kate Acuff, the Jack Jouett representative to the School Board, also is running unopposed. School Board candidates will meet again at a forum held by the League of Women Voters of the Charlottesville Area at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at the main branch of the Jefferson Madison Regional Library. Supervisor candidates will meet again at a league forum at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 26 in Lane Auditorium at the Albemarle County Office Building.
