= = = John Ponsonby, 5th Earl of Bessborough = = =

John George Brabazon Ponsonby, 5th Earl of Bessborough PC (14 October 1809 – 28 January 1880), styled Viscount Duncannon from 1844 until 1847, was a British cricketer, courtier and Liberal politician.

Born in London, Ponsonby was the eldest son of John Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough, and his wife Lady Maria Fane, third daughter of John Fane, 10th Earl of Westmorland. He was a cricketer in his youth and played five first-class matches for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in the 1830s.

Ponsonby entered the House of Commons in a by-election in 1831, sitting for Bletchingley. In the general election two months later, he was returned for Higham Ferrers until constituency's disenfranchisement in 1832. He was returned to the House for Derby in 1835 and represented it until June 1847, when he succeeded in the earldom on the death of his father. In 1832, Ponsonby spent some at the British embassy in St Petersburg and a year later, he became précis writer to Lord Palmerston. Lord Bessborough became a government minister when he was appointed Master of the Buckhounds under Lord John Russell in 1848, an office he held until the fall of the administration in 1852. He held the same office from 1852 to 1855 in Lord Aberdeen's coalition government, from 1855 to 1858 in Lord Palmerston's first administration and again from 1859 to 1866 in Palmerston's and Russell's second administrations. In January 1866 he was appointed Lord Steward of the Household under Russell, a post he held until the Liberals lost power in June 1866, and again between 1868 and 1874 in William Ewart Gladstone's first administration.

Lord Bessborough was also Lord-Lieutenant of Carlow between 1838 and his death in 1880.

Lord Bessborough married Lady Frances Lambton, eldest daughter of John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, on 8 September 1835. She died on 18 December 1835, and on 4 October 1849, he married Lady Caroline Gordon-Lennox, eldest daughter of Charles Gordon-Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond. There were no children from the two marriages. He died in January 1880, aged 70, and was succeeded by his younger brother Frederick.

= = = Eudamidas I = = =

Eudamidas I (Greek: Εὐδαμίδας, reigned 331 BC – c. 305 BC) was a Spartan king of the Eurypontid line, son of Archidamus III and brother of Agis III, whom he succeeded.

He married the wealthy Archidamia, and they had two children, Archidamus IV and Agesistrata. There is evidence that Eudamidas I owned the half of his wife's wealth in land. His reign of Sparta was a time of peace. Pausanias devotes more space to Agis II (427–400 BC) and Agesilaus II (400–360 BC) than to other kings, such as Agis III (338–330 BC) and Eudamidas I, whose lives he passed by briefly, as the Eurypontid line ‘fades’.

= = = Shropshire Cricket League = = =

The Shropshire Cricket League was the biggest club cricket league for clubs in Shropshire prior to being wound up at the end of the 2011 season. Its history stretched back to the 1960s. It was succeeded by the Shropshire County Cricket League.

The 1st XI winners of Division 1 of the league were promoted (along with their 2nd XI) to the Shropshire Premier Cricket League.

The Shropshire Cricket League, sponsored by solicitors FBC Manby Bowdler LLP, provided meaningful cricket for virtually all the county sides with the exception of the leading 21 clubs & their 2nd XIs, who play in higher leagues.

In its last season, 2011, the SCL comprised its usual seven divisions, involved 53 clubs, and again encompassed 90 teams. Promotion and relegation linked all sections and at least two sides went up through Divisions 2–7. Singleton and reserve sides moved independently through the divisions and were not tied to the fortunes of any senior XIs, although they were not eligible for first division membership.

Division One annually fed its champions (and its 2nd XI) into the Shropshire Premier League and so contained only clubs that possessed reserve side(s) and full facilities. The relegation of the SPL bottom club (and its 2nd XI) applied if the SPL deem it appropriate to their needs.

All divisions contained 12 sides except for Division Seven, which usually contained more (18 again this year) to cater for suitable new applicants. All seventh section sides played a full round of fixtures (22), with return games applying for cases of geographical proximity. It was league policy to introduce newly created or newly reformed teams in this bottom section, while existing clubs/teams accepted for membership were placed in a higher division.

The final version of the SCL went back to the 1971 season when a group of 10 pioneer clubs – three of which were still in the league in 2011 – operated in a single division alongside (but never against) a small collection of clubs that were to be part of the group that exclusively comprised the top section from 1972–96. These "lower division" numbers dipped then finally rose to 12 for the first time in 1975. Another division was formed in 1976 and this proved a springboard for the league to expand hugely after this.

Since the end of the 1996 season, the League was run by a Management Committee which comprises 19 officio and "ex officio" members.

This replaced the Executive Committee, which was established following a contentious AGM for the 1972 season in which an exclusive leading division of 12 clubs was set up (with the mirror-image 2nd XI section) that stayed in existence for an overall 27 seasons at the top of the county structure.

This in turn had come about because league cricket in the county had existed only for a fragmented minority, but officials saw it as important to establishing a strong county side and finally persuaded a full hand of leading clubs to commit to it. Opposition to league cricket prevailed around this time because it was viewed as being potentially over-competitive, and would also mean the loss of traditional fixtures. That view quickly changed in ensuing years, but at the key meeting some clubs opted out while others missed the cut – and once the 12 were established, their door remained firmly shut and subsequent applications in future years to join this main group were always rejected. Most of the disappointed clubs joined other leagues.

The Executive Committee of this era therefore governed a loosely unified "two-leagues-in-one" set-up containing alternative attitudes and some differing rules. It was essentially dominated by representatives of the top-flight clubs, who had a constitutional advantage in numbers and whose views were soon to conflict with the reps from the burgeoning mainstream section who believed in integration and equality. Ongoingly turbulent times became inevitable because both sets of clubs were looking in different cricketing directions.

The improvement of facilities gradually increased along with pressure for unification at the top level, especially after the Border Counties League clubs (who had set up their own league many years earlier in protest at the closed shop) joined the League virtually en bloc in 1992. A couple of acrimonious EGMs highlighted the discontent among the "also-rans", while from 1986 there was an annual vote among the Executive members in deciding whether the mainstream champions should replace the elite's bottom club, but despite some close calls – including two casting votes by the chairman – this never happened.

Nevertheless, the escalating controversy over the apartheid status meant change looked increasingly certain sooner or later, especially after the premier clubs lost their constitutional right to a representative majority. And so they broke away to form the SPL at the end of the 1996 season, thus finally curtailing many years of unsuccessful lobbying by the rank-and-file clubs.

By coincidence the integration between the SCL and the still-new SPL finally became a reality two years later, owing everything to the SPL clubs' decision at the end of the 1998 season to forge their own links with the Birmingham League in line with the newly established national pyramid systems of that time.

On 23 May 2011, following a second abortive attempt within two years to attract new clubs and form a second division, the SPL clubs voted overwhelmingly to amalgamate the leagues from the start of the 2012 season.

Previous league winners that have been promoted to the Shropshire Premier League division 1 are noted below:

= = = Antonio Cafiero = = =

Antonio Francisco Cafiero (12 September 1922 – 13 October 2014) was an Argentine Justicialist Party politician.

Cafiero was born in Buenos Aires. He joined Catholic Action in 1938, and enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires, becoming President of the Students' Association. He graduated as an accountant in 1944, and earned a Doctor in Economic Sciences in 1948, teaching in the discipline as a professor from 1952 to 1984. Cafiero became a militant Peronist from the 17 October 1945 mass demonstrations in support of populist leader Juan Perón, and entered public service in 1952 as Minister of Foreign Trade in the latter's administration, serving until 1954. He married the former Ana Goitía, and they had ten children.

Cafiero held offices in the National Justicialist Movement from 1962, as well as in different institutions within the Justicialist Party at the national level and in Buenos Aires Province. Following the return of Peronists to power in the 1973 elections, Cafiero was appointed Secretary of Commerce in Perón's last term (1974). Following Perón's death and his replacement by his wife, Vice-President Isabel Perón, he was appointed Federal Interventor of Mendoza Province (1974–1975), and as Ambassador to the European Economic Community and Belgium (1975). Cafiero was appointed Economy Minister in August. He grappled with the aftermath of the June 1975 "Rodrigazo" (economic shock treatment enacted by a predecessor) with no success, and he was dismissed in February 1976, serving briefly as Ambassador to the Holy See until the March 1976 coup.

He founded the Movement for Unity, Solidarity and Organization in September 1982, a reformist faction of the Justicialist Party, ahead of the 1983 return of democracy. The group, known as "Renovación Peronista" (Peronist Renewal), was defeated in the party's September 1983 nominating convention, however, by more conservative figures supported by Lorenzo Miguel of the Steelworkers' Union. Cafiero was elected to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in 1985, and in 1987, Governor of Buenos Aires Province. Elected President of the Justicialist Party National Council, he ran in the May 1988 primary election for the upcoming presidential campaign. He failed to regain the support of the CGT, or to sway delegates from the smaller provinces, and lost to less well-known Carlos Menem, who subsequently won the 1989 general election.

Menem appointed Cafiero Ambassador to Chile in 1992, and Cafiero returned to elected office as a Senator in 1993. He took part in the convention negotiating the 1994 amendment of the Argentine Constitution, which allowed for Menem's re-election. The amended Argentine Constitution included article 129, which guaranteed Buenos Aires greater self-governance. The "Indentente" (appointed Mayor) was replaced by a "Jefe de Gobierno" (elected Mayor), and the city council by the Buenos Aires City Legislature. Shortly before the historic, June 30, 1996, elections to these posts, however, Senator Cafiero succeeded in limiting the city's autonomy by advancing National Law 24.588, which reserved control of the Argentine Federal Police (the federally administered city force), the Port of Buenos Aires and other faculties to the national government. The controversial bill, popularly known afterward as "Ley Cafiero" (the "Cafiero Law") was signed in 1996 by President Menem, remaining a sticking point between successive Presidents (most of whom have been Peronist) and Buenos Aires Mayors (none of whom have been).

Cafiero was re-elected as Senator in 2001. The aging lawmaker, who had severe hearing loss by then, took leave to act as Cabinet Chief during the transitional presidency of Eduardo Camaño (2001–02), returning to the Senate and retiring in 2005.

Cafiero was formally accused in 2006, along with Isabel Perón and several of her former ministers, of involvement in the forced disappearance of a minor in 1976. President Isabel Perón and her cabinet had signed decrees on October 6, 1975, ordering "military and security operations that may be needed to annihilate subversive elements throughout the territory of the country" "(see Dirty War for historical context)". Cafiero, during the Trial of the Juntas in 1985, had stated that the Isabel Perón government (which presided over the early phase of the Dirty War) believed that common police tactics were not enough to combat the guerrilla threat, and that he learned of human rights violations committed at the time only after Perón's overthrow in the March 1976 coup d'état.

Cafiero has served as President of COPPPAL, the Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean, from 2005 to 2011.

Cafiero lost his wife of fifty years, Ana Goitía, in 1994. His son, Juan Pablo Cafiero, was appointed as Ambassador to the Holy See in 2008. He had been a national deputy for the Peronists and for FrePaSo, Minister for Social Development under Presidents Fernando de la Rúa and Eduardo Duhalde, and as Minister of Security for Buenos Aires Province. Another son, Mario Cafiero, served as a National Deputy from 1997 to 2005.

He died on 13 October 2014 in Buenos Aires.

Ione Shannon Bolin (January 1, 1917 – March 25, 2016) was an American actress and singer. A March 10, 1941, article in The Mason City Globe-Gazette said that she was "known as 'The Lady with the Dark Blue Voice.'"

Ione Shannon Bolin was born in the small town of Spencer, South Dakota, on Jan. 1, 1917. Her parents were Gracie Elsie Bolin and Harry Bolin, a hotel owner who raised horses during the Depression. In an interview she said her father named her Ione “because I was born on the first of January, which is 1-1, or 1-one. That’s South Dakota humor for you.”

At age 20, she headed to the East Coast to pursue a career as a singer. In Washington, D.C., Bolin worked for CBS Radio and during World War II she became the host of her own musical program. She auditioned in 1944 in New York for the New Opera Company and won a place in the ensemble.

Bolin portrayed Meg Boyd in both the original Broadway production and the film version of "Damn Yankees".

Her other stage roles include: "The Golden Apple" (as Mrs. Juniper), "Only in America" (as Kate Golden), "The Student Gypsy" (as Zampa Allescu) "Take Me Along" (as Lily), "Xmas in Las Vegas" (as Eleanor Wellspot), and "Helen Goes to Troy", for which she used the pseudonym of Anne Bolin.

Bolin worked with Marc Blitzstein on Regina the opera based on "The Little Foxes". She played the alternate lead when the work debuted on Broadway.

She appeared in a concert version of the opera "Barbara Allen" by David Broekman, conducted by Maurice Levine. She also appeared in a concert version of Morton Gould's opera "Desire Under the Elms", based on the Eugene O'Neill play. Among the venues in which she sang was Café Society Uptown.

In addition to the film version of "Damn Yankees", Bolin's other film appearances include "If Ever I See You Again" (1978) and the low-budget horror film "The Children" (1980).

Bolin did radio work in New York City for the Theatre Guild of the Air production of "Allegro". She sang Brahms lieder on WQXR for the Stromberg-Carlson series.

In the early 1940s, she was a regular singer on the CBS program "Your Town and Ours".

Bolin appeared on television in the NBC Opera Theatre production of "Suor Angelica", in which she played the Princess, and the "Jackie Gleason Show", a special titled "The Christmas List" as Gleason's wife.

In 1955, Bolin recorded "an album of seldom-heard songs by top composers" for Vanguard Records. She and her husband, musical director Milton Kaye, "dug through thousands of 'long-lost' tunes by top composers like Gershwin, Kern, Rodgers, and came up with 12 which they call "Rare Wine"."

Recorded an album for Riverside titled "Songs For Patricia and other music of Alec Wilder", RLP 12 - 805.

Bolin married Milton Kaye (1909–2006), a New York pianist, composer and arranger, in 1946. Kaye and Bolin recorded an album, "Rare Wine". In 2002, the couple appeared together in a commercial for DeBeers diamonds. She died at the age of 99 on March 25, 2016.
