= = = Paris Public School = = = |
The Paris Public School, at Main and 1st Sts., North, in Paris, Idaho, is a historic school that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a brick building. It was designed by architect Richard C. Watkins in Prairie School style and was built in 1918. |
It is significant partly for reflecting a local fad: the school, the Hotel Paris, the Les and Hazel Shepherd Bungalow, and the LDS Stake Office Building (all also NRHP-listed in Paris), reflect the Prairie style, which is otherwise relatively rare in Idaho. According to a 1980 study, the style's unusual popularity in Paris gives the city a sense of architectural unity. The same study called the Public School the best and most representative example of the Prairie School in the city. |
It was listed on the National Register in 1982. |

= = = Pichi Lucas = = = |
Argimiro Pérez García (born 14 March 1959), commonly known as Pichi Lucas, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker, and is a coach. |
He spent most of his career with Celta, for which he appeared in 288 official games and scored 92 goals. His La Liga input consisted of 113 matches and 18 goals over six seasons, also representing in the competition Compostela. |
Lucas subsequently worked as a manager. |
Born in Camponaraya, Castile and León, Lucas' professional career was solely associated to two Galician clubs, RC Celta de Vigo and SD Compostela. After a loan to lowly Córdoba CF, he returned to the former for the 1981–82 season, scoring a career-best 26 goals in 37 games "en route" to a La Liga promotion. |
Lucas made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 5 September 1982, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Sevilla FC. He netted his first goal in the competition twenty days later in a 2–2 home draw with RCD Español, but only added another until the end of the campaign and his team was eventually relegated back; during his tenure with Celta, he experienced a further two promotions and relegations. |
In the summer of 1991, after one year in Segunda División B with neighbouring CD Ourense, Lucas signed for Compostela from Segunda División. He contributed with nine goals in 28 matches in his third season, as the club reached the top flight for the first time in its history. |
Lucas retired at the end of the 1994–95 campaign at the age of 36, after helping "Compos" retain their newfound status by scoring four times in only 14 appearances. |
From 1998 to 2000, Lucas acted as interim manager at Compostela, being in charge for eight second level games combined and winning only two. He subsequently worked mainly in lower league football, helping SD Ponferradina reach division two in 2006, a first-ever for the club. |
Lucas was fired on 30 April 2007 after a 3–3 home draw against UD Vecindario (seven rounds remaining), as the side went on to suffer relegation. In the following years he worked in the third tier, with FC Cartagena, Real Oviedo, Celta de Vigo B and FC Jumilla. |

= = = William Meschin = = = |
William Meschin (sometimes William le Meschin; died between 1130 and 1135) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and baron. The brother of the earl of Chester, Meschin participated in the First Crusade. After returning to England, he acquired lands both from King Henry I of England and by his marriage to an heiress. |
Meschin built Egremont Castle on his lands and with his wife was a benefactor of a couple of religious foundations. He died sometime between 1130 and 1135, with his estates eventually being divided amongst the descendants of his three daughters. |
Meschin was the brother of Ranulf le Meschin, the Earl of Chester. They were the sons of Ranulf de Briquessart, the viscount of the Bessin, and his wife, Matilda, the daughter of Richard le Goz, Viscount of Avranches. The boys were also nephews of Hugh d'Avranches, who was Earl of Chester. There was also an older brother, Richard, who died young, and a sister, who married Robert de Grandmesnil. Meschin went on the First Crusade and was present at the Siege of Nicaea in 1097. |
Meschin was given Gilsland by his brother, in order to protect the approaches to Carlisle. Due to attacks by the Scots, Meschin was unable to hold it. In compensation, King Henry I of England gave him lands around Allerdale in Cumberland, which centred on Egremont. These lands comprised the lordship, or feudal barony of Egremont. Through his wife, he acquired Skipton, and the lordship, or barony of Skipton. Besides these lands, Meschin also was awarded two escheated properties in Leicestershire, some of which had earlier been lands of Roger de Busli. Other properties in Leicestershire were previously held by Durand Malet and William Blund in the "Domesday Book". Meschin also held lands in Lincolnshire and Cheshire from his brother. |
Meschin built the original parts of Egremont Castle at Egremont. It was a motte-and-bailey stone castle on the River Ehen. He and his wife also founded the Augustinian priory of Embsay Priory. Katrina Legg argues that Meschin's main motive for the foundation was to show support for a monastic order that enjoyed the patronage of King Henry I. Against this, Legg feels that Meschin's wife's motives were more probably religious, as she was close to Thurstan, the Archbishop of York. Another religious foundation of Meschin's was St Bees Priory, a daughter house of St Mary's Abbey, York. St Bees was founded around the same time as Embsay, Embsay was founded between 1120 and 1121, and St Bees was founded sometime after 1120. |
Meschin married Cecily, daughter of Robert de Rumily. They had one son, Ranulf Meschin, and three daughters, Alice, Avice, and Matilda. Another son, Matthew, who was the eldest son, died before his parents. |
Meschin died between 1130 and 1135. His widow married Henry de Tracy, and she died around 1151. Skipton went to Alice, who married William fitzDuncan. Alice and her first husband also acquired Egremont, after the death of her brother Ranulf without heirs. After the death of fitzDuncan, Alice married Alexander fitzGerold. Avice married William de Courcy. Avice married as her second husband William Paynel, son of Ralph Paynel, as his second wife. Before 1153 Avice had married as her third husband Walter, the son of Alan de Percy. Matilda married twice – first to Philip de Belmeis and second to Hugh de Mortimer. All three daughters were the eventual co-heirs of their father, after their brother died without offspring between 1135 and 1140. Meschin's lands were divided between their descendants, with parts ending up with the Counts of Aumale, the family of the Courcys, and the last and smallest part to the Mortimer family. |
