York Civic Centre

The York Civic Centre is a government building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 2700 Eglinton Avenue West in the neighbourhood of Beechborough-Greenbrook. The building is used by the Toronto West Court Office and was the seat of the municipal government of the former city of York, Ontario.

York's Civic Centre does not have a public square like several other civic centres in Toronto, but is located next to Coronation Park and York Memorial Collegiate Institute. There is a time capsule present on the grounds, adjacent to the city of York's war memorial. It is intended to be opened in 2193, Toronto's quadricentennial anniversary.

Etobicoke Civic Centre

The Etobicoke Civic Centre in the Eatonville neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, once housed the municipal government of the former City of Etobicoke.

The building was built in 1958 by the firm Shore and Moffat to replace the single storey brick Township of Etobicoke Municipal Hall at 4946 Dundas Street (now Fox and a Fiddle pub). The building exterior is clad in Queenston limestone and framed by glass and aluminum. The original building also features a clock tower with a non-numeric clock face.

A limestone cenotaph (War Memorial - Etobicoke Municipal Centre) was constructed in 1968 in memory of those who gave their lives in World War I (1914 - 1918), World War II (1939 - 1945), and the Korean War (1950 - 1953). The original plan was to convert the clock tower as a cenotaph. The war dates are located on a metal plaque and above it a large metal cross. Adjacent to the Cenotaph, a provincial plaque commemorating Corporal Frederick George Topham, V.C., an Etobicoke war Hero was erected in 1980. The Board of Education (1 City Centre Court) and Ontario Hydro (South Block) built structures next to the Civic Centre, the former was acquired by Etobicoke for civic use in 1969. In 1973 an addition was added to the original by the same architectural firm.

Etobicoke was amalgamated into the City of Toronto in 1998, and the building no longer serves as a city hall and retained for use for City of Toronto use.

Located on The West Mall in central Etobicoke, the building is used as a meeting place for the Etobicoke community council, a committee of councillors representing wards in the area that makes recommendations on local matters to the full city council. The building also houses a number of local municipal departments and services. A farmers' market operates from spring to fall yearly. An ornamental pool and square was removed during renovations, so the current civic centre lacks any formal public space; it is surrounded by other buildings and parking lots with some trees and patches of lawns. The historic 'Applewood' Shaver House across the street is used for weddings.

Coat of Arms
In 2023, staff voted to remove the coat of arms from the building. This was done to improve relations with Indigenous communities in Toronto. The removal has been criticized by councilor Stephen Holyday.

Vandalism
A lone male entered the Civic Centre and caused damaged to the building exterior and interior as well as City vehicles on March 28 or 29, 2016.

Farmers Market
A seasonal farmers market is open on Saturdays from early June to late October in the parking area of the Civic Centre.

Vendors from the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario sell fresh produce, eggs, meat and bread. It is one of 5 farmers markets in Etobicoke:

 * Sherway Gardens Farmers Market at Church on the Queensway - every Friday from early June to late October
 * Stonegate Farmers Market at Christ Church St. James Anglican on Park Lawn Road -every Tuesday from late June to early October
 * Montgomery's Inn Farmers Market - every Wednesday year round
 * Humber Bay Shores Condominium Association Farmers Market at Humber Bay Park West - every Saturday from late May to early October

Relocation
Plans are in the works to relocated the Civic Centre from the current location to the site of the vacant Westwood Theatre at Dundas Street West and Kipling Avenue. The new site will require the re-construction of the current intersection at Six Points, which is slated to be completed in 2020.

The new location will house city offices as well as:
 * recreation centre
 * public library
 * child care centre
 * central civic square

Talk:Arthur Griffith

Needs expansion
Not bad, but it needs more data about the foundation of Sinn Fein; Griffith was the main but not the only founder. This article needs to at least allude to the presence of others written out of the history books. Fergananim 15:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Anti-semitism
Needs more on the Limerick pogrom because of its significant as the last anti-Jewish pogrom in the British Isles. Also it highlights a strain of ultra nationalism/fascism that you could argue is still present in modern Sinn Fein. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.130.12.157 (talk • contribs) (16:14, 28 November 2005)

 * The entire anti-semitism section is problematic. One of the references leads to a page that no longer exists.  Another leads to a Project MUSE page that requires registration, which means the majority of readers will not be able to access it.  The other references all lead to articles that repeat the same assertions and accusations (Griffith's involvement in the Limerick Pogrom, for example) without any one of them offering any citation or evidence for said accusations.  I would argue that this does not meet Wikipedia's guidelines and the entire section should be deleted until such time that adequate citations can be found. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  19:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Also needs clarification of what "involved" in the pogrom means. He was certainly involved as an influential propagandist (the chauvinistic 'Citizen' in Joyce's Ulysses is based on Griffith) who supported the boycott of Jewish businesses and printed all sorts of nastiness in his newspaper the United Irishman. He didn't go to Limerick and get personally involved. It would be interesting to mention Oliver St John Gogarty and William Bulfin, both close friends of Griffith's, who published anti-semitic material in 2 of his papers.stunion 24 April 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stunion (talk • contribs) 15:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

The whole narrative of the Pogrom has led to the consensus that it should be more accurately referred to as the Limerick Boycott. Huxley10 (talk) 21:50, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

The 'citizen' in Joyce's Ulysses is based on Michael Cusack, founder of the GAA, NOT Arthur Griffith.

Tonykennelly —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.140.15 (talk) 18:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

The remarks that are attributed to Griffith in Dermot Keogh's text on Jews in 20th Century Ireland (reference 7) are in actual fact written by Frank Hugh O'Donnell, writing under the pseudonym of 'Foreign Secretary' (24th Sept. 1899). O'Donnell, who was a member of the obtructionist group in Westminster in 1877, led by C.S. Parnell and J.G. Biggar, was in Paris during the 'Dreyfuss Affair' (which probably encouraged such anti-Semitic writings). The Limerick 'pogrom' is problematic as it has been called into question by Keogh as to whether or not it merits the title of 'pogrom', he concludes that it was a boycott. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.209.217 (talk) 12:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Grave
Anyone know who is buried in the plot beside Griffith's grave in Glasnevin? Dail Eireann debates in 1937 refer to the State paying #90 for the purchase and perpetual upkeep of a plot contiguous to the grave of the late President Griffith for a former member of his Ministry. The grave is unmarked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.74.57 (talk • contribs) (21:48, 30 November 2005)

First Leader?
This article claims he "was the founder and first leader of Sinn Féin". I always thought he was the third leader as stated in the article on Sinn Féin ("Founder (1905) and Third leader (1908 - 17)")

Can somebody make a confirmation and correction of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevioli (talk • contribs) (23:13, 16 February 2006)

The Sinn Féin movement developed around the propaganda of Griffith and he was as a result its leading light. The formal Sinn Féin party was a part of the greater movement (the Sinn Féin Printing & Publishing Company run by Griffith was another part, the Sinn Féin People's Bank another) and was strictly democratic. Griffith didn't want to be the leader but reluctantly took up the position of president of the party after Edward Martyn and John Sweetman. --Stunion (talk) 08:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Cause of death
I see this was recently changed. There are sources for "brain haemorrhage", and also "heart attack". Any ideas? O Fenian (talk) 13:01, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe both a stroke and a heart attack: Ulick O'Connor, in "Michael Collins and the Troubles", says "For a week before, his doctors had confined Griffith to a room in St Vincent's Hospital. They had observed signs of what they thought might be a stroke of a sub-arachnoid nature. But it was difficult to keep him quiet." This would suggest he had had a stroke followed by a fatal heart attack. The NYT report says heart failure while tying his shoelaces - confusingly enough, Cathal Liam says "He'd suffered a cerebral haemorrhage while bending over to tie his shoelaces as he finished dressing for breakfast" (but gives no sources) - Salmanazar (talk) 18:57, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * How do you suggest we word this article then? O Fenian (talk) 00:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * How does this look?

 * Suffering from overwork and strain after the long and difficult negotiations with the British government, and the work involved in establishing the Free State government, Griffith entered St. Vincent's Nursing Home, Dublin, during the first week of August 1922, following an acute attack of tonsilitis. He was confined to a room in St Vincent's by his doctors, who had observed signs of what they thought might be a subarachnoid hemorrhage, but it was difficult to keep him quiet, and he resumed his daily work in the government building. He had been about to leave for his office shortly before 10 am on 12 August 1922, when he paused to retie his shoelace and fell down unconscious. He regained consciousness, but collapsed again with blood coming from his mouth. Three doctors rendered assistance, but to no avail. Father John Lee of the Marist Fathers administered extreme unction, and Griffith expired as the priest recited the concluding prayer. His death was reported as being due to heart failure.

 * Salmanazar (talk) 13:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

St John Gogarty an anti semite
I would just offer this link here, here and here which my help with this edit. -- Domer48 'fenian'  19:35, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Griffith / Ó Gríobhtha
Did Griffith use Ó Gríobhtha in Gaelic? Ó Gríobhtha is the old spelling for the Clare surname Ó Gríofa, anglicized Griffey or Griffin. Griffith is a welsh surname so Griffith has no Gaelic equivalent. Art Griffith would be the correct translation of his name to Gaelic, however if he himself used Ó Gríobhtha then that's another story. Zimmer79 (talk) 16:05, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Antisemitism
I think the separate section on Griffiths should be removed and the content merged into other sections. Having it as a separate section gives undue weight and implies Griffith was the Irish equivalent of Édouard Drumont. Also the charge is often repeated by the usual crowd in the IT, Sindo and publications such as the Spectator.

His writings on the Limerick progrom and the Dreyfus case were appalling and as Maye notes Griffith's attitude at the time towards Jews is difficult because of what would happen roughly four decades later in Europe. However aside from what's mentioned in the article he didn't write all that much. Also as is noted at the end of the article he became friends with many Jews in Dublin such as Noyk and Solomons. Noyk and Solomons sister were both active supporters of the Irish Republic during the War of Independence.

CivisHibernius (talk) 22:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Fifteen months later and nobody has posted to disagree with this. I propose to edit this down significantly and remove the section heading. Scolaire (talk) 14:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Antisemitic views again
The first sentence of the Antisemitic views section says, The charge of antisemitism has often been levelled at Griffith.[20] Reference 20 says no such thing; on the contrary it says, "Simon Sebag Montefiore exposes the role of Sinn Fein's founder in an Irish persecution of Jews", as though the charge had never been levelled before. Montefiore's 1997 article is frankly anti-Irish, and in particular anti-Sinn Féin (even trying to drag Gerry Adams into it), and provides little in the way of evidence. Does anybody know whether this charge was made by anybody before 1997? If not, it changes the nature of the debate completely, and the section will have to be edited accordingly. Scolaire (talk) 18:33, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Since there does not appear to have been anything earlier than 1997, I have re-written the section to get rid of the weasel wording and replace it with encyclopaedic, sourced content. Scolaire (talk) 21:05, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Quotations section
, can you explain why you restored the Quotations section ? None of the quotes in that section are famous. Neither of the quotes attributed to him are particularly illuminating. Neither of the quotes about him are sourced. There is no convention of having a "Quotes" section in biographies: there is none in Patrick Pearse, Éamon de Valera, Michael Collins or W. T. Cosgrave. Please tell us what you think this section adds to the article that it otherwise lacks. Scolaire (talk) 14:28, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Well you removed the consensus version which contained the quotes from the article. The quotes were sourced and were indeed a positive addition to the article. Not all biographies are exactly like. The quotes section should be restored. Irishpolitical (talk) 14:44, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 * I made a bold edit, which went undisputed for over a month, despite the page having plenty of watchers, therefore my edit is the consensus version. Saying they "were indeed a positive addition to the article" is not an indication of how they add something to the article that it otherwise lacks. Saying they were "sourced" is also inaccurate as only two of the four were referenced, and anyway WP:V only says that all content that is included must be verifiable, not that everything that is verifiable must be included. You haven't made a credible case for their inclusion, so I am taking them out again. If you're that attached to the quotes, I suggest you create an Arthur Griffith page on Wikiquote, and add them there, as was done with Pearse, Collins and Dev. Scolaire (talk) 17:37, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Antisemitism Part III
I realize I am late to this party, but it seemed there were some issues in the article that needed to be addressed; because these are important topics, I provide below the following rationale behind my bold edits; of course, I am very happy to have a constructive and good faith discussion of these important matters with editors who may see things differently.

First, I have added material from peer-reviewed publications on the topic. Second, because the Spectator is not a peer-reviewed publication, because there is plenty of peer-reviewed scholarship on this matter, and because it was not clear that Sebag Montefiore's claims added anything to this discussion that the peer-reviewed scholarship does not, I have taken the liberty of removing Sebag Montefiore's article. Third, and for similar reasons, since discussion of Griffith's antisemitic tenure at the United Irishman has been discussed quite widely in scholarship well before (and well after) Sebag Montefiore's article in 1997, I have also removed the phrase: No such claim has been made in any biography of Griffith or history of early Sinn Féin before then, or immediately afterwards.[31]. I am not an expert specifically in the historiography of Griffith or Sinn Fein, but it seemed to me that the only way this statement as it now stood in the article could be true is if scholars in other fields have discussed Griffith's antisemitism (as they have) but somehow scholars of Griffith and Sinn Fein have not (though I very much doubt this is the case, to my thinking the only thing that this would suggest is that scholars of Griffith and Sinn Fein have taken special pains to avoid this topic, which would then in itself be a cause for careful reflection.) Fourth, because it is also clearly relevant to Griffith's views on Jewish people and provides a deeper and more illuminating account of Griffith's views, it also seemed worthwhile to include Griffith's discussion of Zionists and Zionism. Again, very happy to discuss further and negotiate tweaks, revisions, etc. Publius In The 21st Century (talk) 20:14, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Griffith isn't notable for his anti-semitism, which sadly was common in Europe at the time. Irish people were to a greater or lesser extent influenced by Antisemitism in Christianity. The section is too long, as he clearly moderated his views.2001:8A0:774C:7800:1197:1A1:F98E:5748 (talk) 09:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * To the contrary, Griffith is clearly notable here for his anti-semitism in that he was a quite well-known editor, publisher and journalist of his day (even before we get to his leading roles in Cumann na nGaedheal, and subsequently Sinn Féin). Moreover, in this article his reputation appears to have skated free so far of the evidence of deeply racist, pro-slavery and pro-Confederate views as found in his 'Preface to John Mitchel's Jail Journal':
 * https://cartlann.org/authors/john-mitchel/jail-journal/preface-by-arthur-griffith/ Maoltuile (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Antisemitism IV
I am checking the section about the antisemitism of Griffith. I have already removed some parts, as they were not in the given source or were incorrect. That gives me fear that the whole section might be unreliable. What I like is a thorough check of the given sources to see if the text tells the same as the source. Problem is that I do not have all the sources, so I hope on some assistance. The Banner talk 22:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The most recent edits (before yours) were on, at the same time as the thread immediately above this one. What's notable about them is that they exclusively cite Joycean scholars. The thing is, the antisemitism thing seems to be found in Joycean studies – presumably because, as the edits state, it "has been credited with shaping various aspects of Joyce's Ulysses, especially in the 'Cyclops' episode" – but isn't mentioned in biographies of Griffith, histories of Sinn Féin or general Irish histories. This makes it UNDUE. The effect is to make it appear that Griffith was unique among public figures in the 1900s, a time when this sort of antisemitism was the norm across Europe and North America.
 * By the way, are you sure that the "Three Evil Influences" quote was Griffith himself, and not Frank Hugh O'Donnell? I only ask because it was me to O'Donnell in 2019, and I can't imagine myself changing something like that without checking the source first.  Scolaire (talk) 15:17, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Griffith's attitude to Jews is dealt with by Colum Kenny is his fairly recent "The Enigma of Arthur Griffith" (Mercier, 2020). It's generally a very disappointing work but does address anti-Semitism in laborious detail Billsmith60 (talk) 10:45, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Apart from his antisemitism, Griffith expressed, in his 1913 preface to The Jail Journal of John Mitchel (his predecessor as editor of The United Irishman), strong sympathy with Mitchel's support for slavery and opposition to the Union in the American Civil War. Griffith regarded the Enlightenment as 'humbug', regarded any concern for universal human rights as 'cant' and regarded anyone who believed in such things as 'dupes'. He suggested that, as slavery was approved in the Bible and was good enough for the Ancient Greeks and the American founding fathers, there couldn't be anything wrong with it. (This many decades after slavery was abolished and repudiated.) He went on, 'The right of the Irish to political independence never was, is not, and never can be dependent upon the admission of equal right in all other peoples.' http://www.ricorso.net/rx/az-data/authors/m/Mitchel_J/xtras/xtra3.htm Khamba Tendal (talk) 20:24, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Antisemitism V
added here some text that in my opinion is not relevant. I had removed it but the author immediately put it back, so time for more opinions on this addition. The Banner talk 20:23, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

 * CaliLandscapes63 created the Albert L. Altman article in August this year. He seems to be eager to make Altman more prominent in this article, but the fact that he was "widely known in the Dublin press as a successful salt merchant" is irrelevant, and the "it remains curious" wording is unencyclopaedic. I also think moving the sentence – presumably to adhere to a strict chronology – was unnecessary. I've reverted, but kept some relevant detail, the wikilink, and the book reference.

KOSI

KOSI (101.1 FM) is a commercial radio station in Denver, Colorado. KOSI is owned by Salt Lake City–based Bonneville International and airs an adult contemporary music format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December. Its studios and offices are on East Orchard Road in Greenwood Village, and the transmitter is on Mount Morrison in Genesee, above the Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

KOSI is a Class C FM station, broadcasting in the HD Radio format. It carries the Latter-day Saints Channel on its HD2 subchannel. KOSI's parent company, Bonneville, is a subsidiary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Construction and launch
KOSI-FM initially planned to begin broadcasting in the summer of 1967, coinciding with the completion of a new 5,400 square foot studio in northwestern Aurora. The new studio cost more than $367,000 and included a 5,000-watt coverage transmitter. KOSI-FM would be joined in the new facility by its sister station, KOSI 1430 AM (now KAMP).

The studio was not complete in summer 1967 and was delayed to November 5, 1967. That meant the launch of KOSI-FM was postponed to spring 1968.

Beautiful music
On March 3, 1968, KOSI-FM officially signed on the air. The station used the tagline "The World's Most Beautiful Music" at launch. The station broadcast full time in FM stereo. It aired a beautiful music format, including instrumental cover songs of popular adult standards, Hollywood and Broadway show tunes. KOSI FM initially broadcast from 6 am until midnight each day.

KOSI-FM began 24/7 programming on March 2, 1970, after receiving hundreds of requests to have round-the-clock music. KOSI-FM and KOSI AM simulcast during the overnight hours from midnight until 6 am, broadcasting instrumental music and occasional vocals. Commercials during these hours were limited to six minutes per hour. Both stations resumed separate programming from 6 am until midnight each day. The stations were owned by William L. Armstrong, who would later become a Republican Congressman and two term U.S. Senator.

Easy listening
KOSI-FM transitioned to easy listening music by 1980. It added more vocals and reduced the instrumental titles. It had hourly news briefs and weather reports. In 1981, KOSI-FM was simulcast in Steamboat Springs on channel 97 through an installation of a translator on Mount Werner.

Armstrong sold KOSI-AM-FM to Westinghouse Broadcasting in 1981. KOSI AM became KEZW in March of that year, carrying an adult standards format, while KOSI-FM continued playing easy listening music.

In 1983, KOSI-FM added a subsidiary communications authority (SCA) service. On regular FM radios, the service could not be heard. But businesses and restaurants with an SCA receiver could pay a fee for all music with no commercials. Among all radio stations in Denver, KOSI was rated number one with a 9.5% share.

In February 1985, the power cable for the Steam Boat Springs translator went out of commission, causing KOSI-FM to go off the air for the area. It was replaced with pop station KQIX-FM (now KMGJ) in Grand Junction. The station was restored in July of that year.

In 1985, KOSI-FM was rated the number one station in Denver for people aged 25 and 44. The station remained number one in 1986.

Move to adult contemporary
In 1988, Westinghouse sold KOSI and KEZW to D&D Broadcasting, Inc. for $15.5 million. In the 1980s, many easy listening stations found their audiences getting older, and not as attractive to advertisers. In response, KOSI began adding more vocals and deleting some instrumental songs.

In 1989, KOSI and KEZW were sold to Shepard Communications of Grand Rapids for $15 million.

Going into 1990, KOSI general manager Joe Davidman spent several thousands of dollars on research and found less than 9 percent of the stations audience cared about hearing instrumentals.

On February 6, 1990, KOSI made the transition to soft adult contemporary music and became known as the "light and easy" station. The station played all vocals, dropping instrumental versions of songs and replacing them with their original. After switching formats, KOSI rose in the station's target 25-54 audience and the profitability of the station more than doubled. In 1991, KOSI was rated the second most listened to station in Denver.

In 1992, KOSI launched a regular Saturday evening show called the "KOSI Copacabana." This show featured four hours of disco music. The show included dance and party songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's. In 1992, KOSI was number 3 in the Denver market. On January 6, 1993, Tribune Broadcasting acquired KOSI and KEZW for $19.5 million.

Lite Rock
By 1996, KOSI switched to what it described as "Lite Rock," dropping several non-rock artists thought to be older-sounding. The station remained third among ages 12+ and ages 18-49.

Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, KOSI pulled several current hit songs from the air. These included Annie Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass" and Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire".

Adult Contemporary
By 2002, KOSI began adding more upbeat titles and soft-pop hits to the playlist, making the transition to a mainstream adult contemporary format aimed at young adults. In December 2002, KOSI and KEZW were sold to Entercom.

KOSI continued airing soft rock and adult contemporary music in the early 2000s. KOSI jumped to number 1 in the ratings for Denver in 2006.

From 2007 to 2011, KOSI aired the nationally syndicated call-in and request show, "Delilah" on weekday evenings. Delilah has since been replaced with local programming.

On July 14, 2015, as part of a merger with Lincoln Financial Media, and to be in compliance with ownership caps and total market revenue limits, the Department of Justice required Entercom to spin off four Denver stations, KOSI, KYGO-FM, KKFN and KEPN, to Bonneville International in exchange for Bonneville's KSWD in Los Angeles (now KKLQ). This resulted in KOSI 101.1 and KEZW 1430 being separately owned for the first time. Both Bonneville and Entercom began operating their new clusters via Time Brokerage Agreements on July 17, 2015, until the transaction was consummated on November 24, 2015.

Christmas music
KOSI switches its format to all-Christmas music during the holiday season. The change generally takes place in early to mid-November and continues until midnight on December 25. At that point, the format goes back to adult contemporary with an occasional holiday song, although not specifically referring to Christmas. ("Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!, Jingle Bells and Winter Wonderland are among the titles heard.)

In 2008, the Christmas music continued until December 27. In 2020, as a service to health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Christmas music continued until New Year's Eve at 7 pm. KOSI also sometimes flips to Christmas music for a couple of days in July for its "Christmas in July" special.

East York Civic Centre

The East York Civic Centre was the municipal office of the former borough of East York, now part of Toronto, Ontario, Canada as the result of municipal amalgamation. The two-storey civic buildings, located on the western side of Coxwell Avenue, were completed in 1990. Prior to 1990 it was the site of the East York Municipal Offices built in 1948, additions added in 1963 and 1975. The Township of East York Municipal Building was located nearby at 443 Sammon Avenue (replaced by St. Aloysius Catholic Elementary School 1962-2002 now as École élémentaire La Mosaïque).

Since 1998, the building's former council chambers have not been used for any municipal-council function. The East York Community Council became the Downtown Community Council (later renamed Toronto East York Community Council) and sits at Toronto City Hall. From 2002 to 2005, the council chambers were used to hold public hearings in the Toronto Computer Leasing Inquiry. The former chambers is rectangular room with a semi-circular desk seating 11 members and small second floor visitor's gallery, named the True Davidson Chambers after former mayor True Davidson.

The building is used for offices for various committees and city departments including services for residents of East York. A farmer's market takes place at the Civic Centre from May to November. A cenotaph is located on the Civic Centre's Memorial Gardens, a simple park surrounding the building.

Dainius Zubrus

Dainius Gintas Zubrus (born June 16, 1978) is a Lithuanian former professional ice hockey right winger and centre who played in the National Hockey League (NHL), the first Lithuanian to have played 1,000 games in the NHL. Drafted 15th overall in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers, Zubrus played for the Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Washington Capitals, Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks.

Early career
In the summer of 1989 at 11 years of age, Zubrus moved to Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union, to train under Ukrainian coach Ivan Pravilov, with whom he became close as he played for him for six years, on the Druzhba-78 squad, where he played until the end of 1995. As a youth, he played in the 1992 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with them. Pravilov was arrested in 2012 for sexual abuse of a teenage student, and committed suicide by hanging in prison. Zubrus said: "Since learning of the terrible accusations against my former coach, all my thoughts and concerns have been for the children. I have reached out to the children, and assured them that I am, and will continue to be, there for them."

Professional
The Philadelphia Flyers selected Zubrus 15th overall in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft from the Caledon Canadians of the Metro Junior A Hockey League, making him the highest drafted Tier II Junior "A" player since the inception of the Canadian Junior A Hockey League in 1993 (a record later surpassed when Kyle Turris was selected third at 2007 NHL Entry Draft). Prior to being traded to Caledon, Zubrus played for the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Junior A Hockey League.

Zubrus made his NHL debut on October 5, 1996, scoring a goal against the Florida Panthers. In his rookie season, he helped the Flyers reach the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals. The Flyers traded him to the Montreal Canadiens on March 10, 1999, along with a pair of draft picks, in exchange for Mark Recchi. He registered his first career hat-trick on October 14, 2000, against the Chicago Blackhawks, and was traded to the Washington Capitals (along with Trevor Linden) in exchange for Richard Zedník and Jan Bulis on March 13, 2001. During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, Zubrus decided to play abroad with Capitals teammate Alexander Semin. He played 42 regular season games for Lada Togliatti, recording 8 goals and 11 assists for 19 points. He also appeared in ten playoff games while in the former Russian Superleague (RSL), scoring three goals and one assist.

Zubrus returned to the Capitals the following 2005–06 season and recorded a career-high 57 points playing alongside star rookie Alexander Ovechkin. In the 2006–07 season, Zubrus continued his impressive form, posting 52 points in 60 games before he was traded on February 27, 2007, to the Buffalo Sabres (along with Timo Helbling) in exchange for Jiří Novotný and a first round-draft pick.

On July 3, 2007, as a free agent, Zubrus signed a six-year, $20.4 million contract with the New Jersey Devils.

On November 23, 2008, Zubrus had one of the best offensive games in Devils history. Zubrus tied a team record with four goals to help New Jersey win its season-high fourth straight game, 7–3 over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Four years later, Zubrus got to his second Stanley Cup decision, losing the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals to the Los Angeles Kings. On July 4, 2013, the Devils re-signed Zubrus to a reported three-year contract.

On July 29, 2015, after eight seasons with the Devils, Zubrus was placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating the final year of his contract.

On October 27, 2015, it was announced Zubrus was invited to professional tryout (PTO) with the St. Louis Blues. On November 6, 2015, Zubrus was released from his professional tryout after the Blues opted instead to sign Martin Havlát to a one-year contract.

On November 16, 2015, Zubrus was invited to a professional tryout by the San Jose Sharks. Eight days later, he signed a contract with the Sharks, reuniting with former Devils head coach Peter DeBoer and former Devils teammate Paul Martin. With San Jose, Zubrus reached his third Stanley Cup Finals, which the Sharks lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He retired during the off-season.

International play
Originally, Zubrus had suited up for the Russia national team during the World Cup of Hockey in 2004. But since then, he has played internationally for Lithuania, most notably in the 2005 World Championships. He had told the press, "Lithuania needs me more than Russia". Because of the existence of the Soviet Union, players born during its time as a nation were able to choose to play for any of the newly formed countries after the breakup, and even considered representing Ukraine due to his training there.

Personal life
Zubrus and his wife have two children.

Zubrus holds dual citizenship and is a citizen of Lithuania and the United States.

William Tyler Page

William Tyler Page (1868 – October 19, 1942) was an American public servant. He worked on the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., for 61 years, first as a page boy and later as a clerk of the United States House of Representatives. He was the author of American Creed and Story of Nation’s Capital.

Early life
Page was born in 1868 in Frederick, Frederick County, Maryland. He was the great-great-grandson of Carter Braxton, (1736–1797), a member of the House of Burgesses of the Province of Virginia. He was also a descendant of President John Tyler.

Page began working "twelve hours a day in a printing shop and a paper-bag factory" at the age of 10.

Career
Page began working as a page boy for the United States House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., on December 19, 1881, and he became a clerk in 1919. Page worked for the Capitol for 61 years in total.

In 1917, at 49, Page wrote "The American's Creed," as a submission to a nationwide patriotic contest suggested by Henry Sterling Chapin, of New York, which was inspired by a fervor at the beginning of the American entry into the First World War. The goal was to have a concise but complete statement of American political faith. Inspired by thoughts on his way home from church in May 1917, having just recited the Apostles' Creed used in most Christian churches as a statement of belief, Page drew on a wide variety of historical documents and speeches, including the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the US Constitution, Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, a speech made by Daniel Webster, and text from Edward Everett Hale's 1863 patriotic short story of a military officer condemned to exile, "The Man Without a Country." He proceeded to craft a simple but moving expression of American patriotism.

His submission was chosen in March 1918 over more than 3000 other entries. On April 3, 1918, it was accepted by the House Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the US Commissioner of Education (then part of the US Department of the Interior) on behalf of the American people, according to the "Congressional Record", No. 102, April 13, 1918. A prize of $1000 was also awarded by Mayor James H. Preston on behalf of the City of Baltimore, which was the birthplace of the national anthem. Page used it to purchase Liberty Bonds for the war effort and donated them to his church. Today, it also often comprises part of the naturalization ceremony to swear in new American citizens, along with other patriotic symbols, such as the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag and the singing of various songs and anthems.

Clerk of House of Representatives
In 1919, the year after the war ended, Page was elected Clerk of the House of Representatives from the 66th United States Congress to the 71st Congress ended in 1931. The majority in power in the 1920s was the Republican Party. Later, he was Emeritus Minority Clerk, for the remainder of his life. He was highly respected by members of both major parties throughout his service, as a principled gentleman whose patriotism was inspirational and whose love of America was unquestioned.

Page died 11 years later, during the first year of America's involvement in the Second World War, on October 19, 1942, after serving his country his entire adult life humbly but always proudly. The House of Representatives adjourned the following day in his honor.

For many years, Page had also served as the President General of the United States Flag Association. The night before his death, he gave an address to the women's lineage society, the Daughters of the American Revolution on the Golden (50th) Anniversary of the writing of the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag (1892).

American's Creed
The American's Creed is as follows: I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Page once said: The American's Creed is a summing up, in one hundred words, of the basic principles of American political faith. It is not an expression of individual opinion upon the obligations and duties of American citizenship or with respect to its rights and privileges. It is a summary of the fundamental principles of American political faith as set forth in its greatest documents, its worthiest traditions and by its greatest leaders.

Personal life, death and legacy
Page resided in Friendship Heights, Maryland (in Montgomery County). Page married Mary Anna Weigangt of Athens, Georgia, daughter of painter Charles H. Weigangt, in 1895. They had three daughters and two sons: Nannie Tyler, Mary, Mrs. Gordon F. Fox, John C. and William Tyler. His wife died in 1929.

Page died of heart disease on October 19, 1942, in Washington, D.C., at age 74. He was buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery. In 1955, the Daughters of the American Revolution added a bronze plaque on his grave at Oak Hill Cemetery.

William Tyler Page Elementary School is located at 13400 Tamarack Road in Silver Spring, Maryland, and it is part of Montgomery County Public Schools.

Chris Pusey (born July 20th 1965 in Brantford, Ontario) is a former professional ice hockey goaltender. He is notable for returning after retiring from professional ice hockey, with the Dundas Real McCoys, an OHA senior team, and the club made the final four in the Allan Cup tournament. Chris, however, was playing not as a goaltender, but as a defenceman. As a child, Chris was known to friends and family as "Gigger".

Chris was called up by the Detroit Red Wings in October 1985, after starter Eddie Mio went down with a knee injury. He made his only NHL appearance on October 19, 1985, against Chicago. Starter Corrado Micalef allowed three goals in the first period. Pusey entered the game and Detroit pulled to within one goal after two periods; however, three Chicago goals in the third (including the first NHL goal by defenceman Marc Bergevin) would end the Red Wing comeback bid.

Car chase
I remember they would have a car chase inside a parking garage almost every week, along with the sound effects of squealing tires echoing inside the garage. --Rogerd 04:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That's called "doing a Rockford", which is why Cannell & co stopped doing it... Also (if I could source it...), I'd mention the same studio produced "Mannix", "M:I", & "STTOS": Desilu... Trekphiler 16:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Theme song
Hopefully I am doing this correctly, I have not previously commented on any article so I apologize if I am doing this wrong. I am a conservatory trained musician and am listening to the Mannix theme song right now. I am certain this is not in 3/4 or Waltz time as it says in the main Mannix article. The Mannix theme song is played in 6/8 time, which is a multiple of 3 of course and may sometimes sound like 3/4 to a non-musician, but it is actually quite diffent from 3/4 time or a waltz. I'm hesitant to edit the main article myself but if another trained musician would confirm that the theme is in 6/8, an edit to the main article would be appropriate.

image when searching on DuckDuckGo....
When you search for a Wiki page on DuckDuckGo, a small box with a Wiki entry preview appears at the top of the search page. For some reason, this guy's image appears in that box when searching for Mannix: https://duckduckgo.com/i/afc7275e.jpg

If someone knows how to fix that, they should.

Phantom in ca (talk) 17:12, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Air Force reference?
There are plenty of episodes where Mannix's stint in the Army during the Korean War are referenced, but there's a curious side mention of possible Air Force service as well.

In the episode "Harvest of Death", the plot has someone trying to push a farmer out of business by killing off the cropdusters he's hired to keep his orange grove in operation.

The farmer and the owner of the local crop dusting company come to Joe's office, and the businessman ("Clint Carpenter") says "Dave tells me you flew together in Korea". A moment later, when Joe is reluctant to take on the role of crop dusting pilot because "it's precision flying", Dave responds "that's right. So is landing a fighter on a carrier deck in a typhoon.  You did that, didn't you?"

So is this just a glitch in continuity? Thanks wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 07:18, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

guest stars
Actor/director Georg Stanford Brown and Peter Deuel (Alias Smith and Jones) were in Eagles Sometimes Can't Fly. Many of the guest stars also guested on ST:TOS. In particular, the first time Leslie Parrish guested on Mannix, in one scene she wore the gown from TOS episode Who Mourns for Adonais, which, according to a famous book about that series, caused NBC lots of grief; there was no back to it and everybody was afraid the swath that covered her front would fall off. 100.15.127.199 (talk) 02:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

William Ware Theiss was the costume designer for Star Trek:TOS. As noted in his Wiki entry, he deliberately designed the women's fashions that you thought could fall off or expose parts of the women that were not allowed on prime time TV. Yes, the dress in the Mannix episode had the ST:TOS dress. They used what was available in the costume department where the series was produced.Aspenguy2 (talk)

Canadian federal election results in Midwestern Ontario

This is page shows results of Canadian federal elections in Midwestern Ontario, which is roughly from Woodstock to Milton, and from Lake Erie to Goderich.

Regional profile
Before the late 1950s, Midwestern Ontario had not leaned towards either the Progressive Conservatives (Tories) or the Liberals (Grits) on a regular basis as there was wide variation in each party's results from election to election. Since the late 1950s, however, it has been a primarily conservative-voting area. Even when the Liberals won every federal election except one from 1963 to 1980 inclusive, the Progressive Conservatives usually won the majority of seats in this region, and in the 1979 Progressive Conservative election plurality, the only seat the Tories did not win was won by the New Democrats (NDP). The NDP usually claimed one seat from the mid-1960s until the 1993 election, usually in the riding of Brant.

Vote splitting allowed the Liberals to win all of the seats in Midwestern Ontario from 1993 to 2000 in their province-wide sweeps, although the seat of Perth—Wellington was lost to the Progressive Conservatives in a 2003 by-election following the resignation of the outgoing Liberal MP. The Conservatives picked up four more seats in the 2004 election, another in the 2006 election, and four more in 2008, leaving Guelph as the only non-Conservative seat in the region from 2008 to 2015. In the 2015 Liberal majority government win, the Conservatives still took one more seat in the area than the Liberals as they swept the rural areas.

The Conservatives are weaker in the larger cities of Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph, partly because they have prominent universities (University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University) with large student populations. The Liberals retained three of the four ridings in those cities by significant margins in 2006 despite the Conservatives forming the government, and won four of the five seats available there in the 2015 election, the exceptions in both elections being the partially rural Kitchener-Conestoga riding, although both wins in the riding were only narrow victories for the Conservatives. Even in the 2008 election victory by the Conservatives, the ridings of Kitchener Centre and Kitchener-Waterloo were only won by the Conservatives by less than 300 votes. The riding of the more suburban city of Cambridge has generally leaned Conservative dating back decades whereas the riding of Brant-Brantford has switched from being strongly NDP to Liberal to Conservative in the last three decades.

In 2019 the Greens were able to gain over 25 percent of the vote in two urban ridings, Guelph and Kitchener Centre. However, the Liberals held both seats by over a 10% margin.

Brent Symonette

Theodore Brent Symonette (born 2 December 1954) is a Bahamian businessman and Free National Movement politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for St. Anne's from 2007 to 2012 and 2017 to 2021. In his first term, he served as Deputy Prime Minister to Hubert Ingraham and Minister of Foreign Affairs. In his second, he was the Minister of Financial Services, Trade and Industry and Immigration from 2017 to 2019.

Early life
Symonette was born in Nassau, Bahamas. He is the youngest son of Sir Roland Symonette (1898–1980), the first Premier of the Bahamas and Lady Margaret Symonette née Frances. Symonette is also the half brother of Bobby Symonette, who served as Speaker of the House of Assembly. He studied law in London and is a member of the Bahamas Bar. Symonette is also an established real estate broker.

Career
Symonette was appointed to the Senate in 1987 by Sir Cecil Wallace Whitfield and reappointed to the Senate in 1992 by Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham. Symonette was one of a handful of white Members of Parliament.

Symonette served as Attorney General, Minister of Tourism and Chairman of the Airport Authority. As Chairman of the Hotel Corporation of the Bahamas, Symonette was instrumental in negotiations that resulted in bringing the Atlantis Hotel and affiliated resort properties to the Bahamas.

Symonette was the first MP to hold the St Anne's constituency upon its creation in 2007. Following the FNM victory in the general election that year, Symonette was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in Ingraham's government on May 4.

In January 2012, Symonette announced he would be resigning from politics and stood down at the 2012 general election. In 2016, his successor Hubert Chipman withdrew his name from consideration for the FNM nomination. Symonette changed his mind and, despite supporting Loretta Butler-Turner over Hubert Minnis in the FNM leadership contest, announced in early 2017 that he would reenter politics and was willing to work with Minnis.

Symonette was sworn in as Minister of Financial Services, Trade and Industry and immigration after regaining his seat in the 2017 general election. He served in that capacity until 1 July 2019 when he resigned. He confirmed that he would complete his tenure as MP and continue supporting the FNM in future elections, but would not seek reelection himself.

The Plumbline

The Plumbline is a humor publication of the (MES) of McMaster University. Popular among the students of McMaster Engineering, The Plumbline is famous for publishing everything from obscure engineering memes to informative articles. The Plumbline was started by a group of Engineering students in 1967, developed from a single sheet MES news letter. In 1971, the editors decided to turn the newsletter into an 8-page tabloid format newspaper.

By the early 1990s, it was clear that student and administration acceptance of sexist and xenophobic content was dropped. In this climate, The Plumbline reformatted, dropping any offensive content from its masthead, developing a new form of satirical and parody genres of humor and abandoning misogyny as fodder for comedy.

In October 2012, The Plumbline converted to a digital format, due to declining readerships and large print costs.

Some public opinion of the early 2010's was shared that the McMaster Engineering community felt that the Plumbline was unfairly targeted by the remainder of the campus for its controversial content and potentially offensive subject matter, and that it was subjected to a harsher, more restrictive standard than other on-campus events (such as the misogynistic lyrics of Choclair who performed on campus) and publications organized by other groups (like the campus wide newspaper The Silhouette).

As of 2022, the Plumbline releases 2 print editions per semester which are reviewed by the MES editorial committee prior to distribution. These journals are handed out to students at no cost from the MES student run store, 'The Drain'. The Plumbline of today consistently features meme submissions from students, bingo cards for SAGM (the MES Semi-annual general meeting), opinion pieces, horoscopes, and hilarious articles promoting upcoming events and holidays. The Plumbline editorial team aims to foster community and humour inclusive of all students in the faculty.

Although The Plumbline is a publication of the MES, the material contained within it is not in any way affiliated with McMaster University, and does not express views or opinions shared by all, if any, students at the University.

Origins
Larry Ireland was the first editor-in-chief of The Plumbline (section), which got its name in an MES contest in the spring of 1967. Previously the MES newsletter was a one-page bi-monthly publication, which became the first Plumbline issue in April 1967 (volume 4 Nos 1 to 12). Don Mros created the cartoon character of Superplumber, who battled 'artsies' and other 'low-lifes'.

With help of Dean Hodgins office staff, the Plumbline put out a 4-page bi-weekly paper, which started with circulation of roughly 400 copies but grew to more than a thousand (total enrolment in all years & grads of Engineering = less than 700). The Plumbline became the most widely read newsletter on campus, especially in the women's residences. Limited by the technology of the day, the first issues used mimeograph and gestetner printing.

Content

 * Engitorials: Similar to a regular editorial, written by the Plumbline editors.
 * Shines and Moon: A thumbs up, thumbs down section where events and/or people are given approval or disapproval.
 * Shindigs and Hoedowns: A report or review of current events within the Engineering Society.
 * Onions and Opinions: A section similar to regular newspapers where readers can submit opinions and complaints.
 * News Briefs: Humorous news clips, most often fictional and absurd.
 * Nuts and Bolt: Various games and activities such as crosswords and connect-the-dots.
 * Plumboscopes: A humorous horoscope written by a Plumbline 'astrologer'.
 * Arts Matter: A section devoted to numerous comic strips, including those drawn by contributors.
 * Shafts and Gears: Page containing 'nerdy' or 'mechanical' jokes, usually niche and/or technically obscure.

The Plumbline also contains featured articles, usually pertaining to current events around McMaster and Engineering, as well as pictures and clips submitted by readers. The Plumbline is heavily dependent on reader-submitted content.

2005 Controversy
In late 2005, publication of The Plumbline was temporarily suspended because of allegations from the McMaster Coalition for Equitable Social Change that the paper promoted hate-speech and sexist attitudes. The Coalition saw the newspaper as a key element in a larger problem of intolerance within the faculty of Engineering. They argued that this is evident in many of the faculty's traditions and "welcome" practices for first year students. According to them, the newspaper legitimized this culture of intolerance. On the other hand, advocates of The Plumbline argued that the depictions were wholly satirical in nature and protected under free speech. Some argue that the opposition was a form of moral panic in response to the rape of a McMaster student within the Engineering faculty and the efforts to minimize the rape and subsequent conviction of Engineering student for the crime.

After a brief period of debates and arguments including review by the Executive of the McMaster Engineering Society, the Dean of Engineering, and the Human Rights Office, The Plumbline returned to shelves. There were a number of changes suggested to the content and a series of sensitivity training sessions took effect. Currently both online and hard-copy versions of the newspaper are available and reviewed by the MES equity and inclusion officer prior to printing.

USS Bagley (DD-386)

USS Bagley (DD-386), a Bagley-class destroyer, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Ensign Worth Bagley, officer during the Spanish–American War, distinguished as the only U.S. naval officer killed in action during that war.

Bagley (DD-386) was laid down on 31 July 1935 at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia; launched on 3 September 1936; sponsored by Miss Bella Worth Bagley, sister of Ensign Bagley; and commissioned on 12 June 1937.

Inter-War Period
Bagley worked extensively in the Atlantic before being sent to Pearl Harbor in 1940. She rotated occasionally between there and the Californian coast. By December 1941, Bagley was operating locally out of Pearl Harbor. Frequent exercises with DesDiv 7 were interspersed with carrier task force evolutions centered around USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Lexington (CV-2). The pace of these operations intensified as American economic sanctions, instituted in response to Japanese actions in China and French Indochina, provoked Japanese protests. On 3 December during an antiaircraft practice at sea with DesDiv 8, Bagley's starboard side bilge keel tore loose. The destroyer slowed to 10 kn and changed course for Oahu, mooring at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard the following morning. On 6 December, the warship shifted berths starboard side to berth B-22 in Southeast Loch. By this time, Bagley had gone cold iron, receiving electricity, steam, and fresh water from the dock.

Pearl Harbor
At 0755 on 7 December, shortly before morning colors, Japanese aircraft from six fleet carriers struck the Pacific Fleet as it lay in port at Pearl Harbor. Onboard Bagley, Radio Seaman Recruit Robert P. Coles from Machias, Maine exited the port side mess decks and saw the Japanese planes attacking Hickam Field. He was relieved by Chief Gunners Mate Skinner who, as noted in official records, fired at the third plane to attack.

The crew first saw dive bombers in action over nearby Hickam Field and then witnessed a Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo planes pass down Southeast Loch and torpedo USS Oklahoma (BB-37) moored off Ford Island. The destroyer immediately went to general quarters, firing her .50-caliber machine guns at the torpedo-carrying Nakajimas passing down the port side to attack the American battleships. Shortly after 0800, a second "Kate"'s torpedo exploded in the bank about thirty feet ahead of Bagley.

During the second phase of the attack, which began about 0840, Bagley's crew fired on Aichi D3A "Val" dive bombers attacking Ford Island and the navy yard dry docks. Her gunners claimed to have splashed at least six aircraft that morning; but, given the intensity of antiaircraft fire from all ships, her "kills" cannot be conclusively proven. At 0940, the warship headed for the channel and the open sea, leaving her commanding officer, executive officer, and gunnery officer ashore. Bagley, under the temporary command of Lieutenant Philip W. Cann, paused only long enough to pick up the skipper of destroyer USS Patterson (DD-392), who was subsequently transferred to his own ship at sea.

1942
Bagley covered the arrival of TF 14 at Pearl Harbor four days after Christmas. The next day, the destroyer sailed with USS Saratoga (CV-3) to patrol west of Oahu, covering the islands while two carrier groups escorted reinforcements to Samoa. On 11 January 1942, however, a single torpedo from JAPANESE SUBMARINE I-16 hit and damaged the aircraft carrier. Bagley returned to Pearl Harbor with the injured Saratoga and, taking advantage of the opportunity, underwent a restricted availability at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard between 23 January and 3 February, adding four 20-millimeter machine guns to her antiaircraft battery.

Departing Oahu on the last day of January, Bagley joined TF 11, comprising Lexington, four cruisers and nine destroyers, to cover transports delivering reinforcements to Christmas Island, Canton Island in the Phoenix Islands, and New Caledonia. Worried about Japanese intentions in the Fiji-New Caledonia area, TF 11 joined the ANZAC cruiser force, HMAS Australia (1927), HMNZS Achilles (70), HMNZS Leander with USS Chicago (CA-29) and two destroyers, on 16 February. Shortly thereafter, the task force turned to the northwest and headed for Bougainville in the Solomon Islands.

On 20 February, at 1707, the destroyer opened fire on a second wave of nine bombers with her 20-millimeter battery, joining the barrage of antiaircraft fire around Lexington. Minutes after that, one bomber attempted to crash Bagley's stern, but fire from USS Aylwin (DD-355) helped splash the "Betty" some 200 yd distant on the starboard quarter.

Upkeep and repair, punctuated by a dry dock period, kept the destroyer's crew busy for the next month. Bagley took departure from Pearl Harbor on 30 April, carrying mail and passengers to Palmyra Island, Christmas Island, and the Society Islands. Off Bora Bora on 9 May, she rendezvoused with USS Hunter Liggett (AP-27) and escorted her to the Fiji Islands, arriving at Nukualofa Bay, Tongatapu, on 15 May. The destroyer then spent a week patrolling outside the harbor, protecting departing convoys from enemy submarines, before continuing on alone to Brisbane, Australia, arriving there on 30 May.

Assigned to the Southwest Pacific Force (TF 44), Bagley protected convoys in the approaches to Australia, searched for submarine contacts during two patrol sweeps with USS Henley (DD-391), and conducted night battle practice and other exercises with the cruisers of TF 44 through mid-July. On the 17th, she departed Brisbane for New Zealand, arriving in Auckland on 20 July. There, she joined TF 62 and began preparations for Operation Watchtower, the invasion of Guadalcanal.

Bagley steamed to the Fiji Islands, in company with cruisers Chicago, USS Salt Lake City (CA-25), Australia, HMAS Canberra (1927), HMAS Hobart (1939), eight other destroyers, and 12 transports. Joined by other convoy elements on the 26th, including three more cargo ships, Bagley guarded the transports as they conducted rehearsal landings at Koro Island. The task force then proceeded to the Solomon Islands, arriving in the transport area off Lunga Point, Guadalcanal, on 7 August.

Assigned to "Southern Force", one of three picket patrols, Bagley and Patterson accompanied Australia, Canberra, and Chicago in protecting the transports south of Tulagi.

Australia, with Rear Admiral Victor Alexander Charles Crutchley, RN, on board, left formation for a command conference at Lunga Roads at 2130. Just over two hours later, with visibility low owing to overcast sky and rain showers, unidentified ships loomed into view about 3000 yd distant on the port bow. These were seven Japanese cruisers and a destroyer under Rear Admiral Gunichi Mikawa sent from Rabaul to attack the American transports. At that moment, 0144 according to Bagley's log, float planes from the Japanese cruisers dropped flares that lit up the American warships.

Bagley turned sharply to the left to bring the starboard torpedo tubes to bear on the Japanese warships looming out of the darkness but, either due to the torpedoes not being armed in time or because the ship turned too quickly for the torpedo tubes to be aimed properly, she continued her turn and fired four torpedoes to the northwest from number two port mount. Although the torpedomen claimed hits a few minutes later, no Japanese ships were damaged by torpedoes in that area. It is possible, but unconfirmed, that one or two of Bagley's torpedoes may have hit Canberra on her starboard side. Bagley then turned left again and her gunners scanned the passage between Guadalcanal and Savo Island; but, as the Japanese cruiser force had already passed by to the north, they saw no enemy ships. She then steamed to the northwest, toward the designated destroyer rendezvous point, and at about 0300 came across the heavily damaged and burning USS Astoria (CA-34). That warship, along with USS Quincy (CA-39) and USS Vincennes (CA-44), had been mortally wounded in the short, but violent, Battle of Savo Island before the Japanese force retired to Rabaul.

Bagley came alongside Astoria and rescued about 400 survivors—including 185 wounded—from the stricken warship, out of the water or from nearby rafts. With daylight, Bagley delivered a salvage party of 325 men to Astoria to fight fires, plug holes and raise steam. The effort ultimately failed, and the cruiser sank that afternoon. Meanwhile, Bagley's medical officer and pharmacist's mates treated shell-fragment lacerations and second-degree burns before the wounded were transferred to USS President Jackson (AP-37) that afternoon. Bagley then withdrew to Nouméa with TF 62, mooring there on 13 August.

1943
On 15 March 1943, Bagley executed orders reassigning her to TF 74 as the newly created 7th Fleet readied itself for offensive operations in New Guinea. Underway from Townsville on 27 June, Bagley, in company with Henley and SC-749, escorted six LSTs carrying 2,600 Army troops and airfield equipment to Woodlark Island. While the destroyers patrolled south of the island, the landing proceeded without Japanese interference on the night of 30 June and 1 July. Bagley escorted three more echelons of LSTs from Townsville to Woodlark between 9 July and 7 August; all arrived safely, and the fighter airstrip became operational on 23 July. The destroyer then escorted USS Henry T. Allen (AP-30) between Milne Bay, Cairns, and Brisbane, arriving at the last port on 15 August.

Bagley steamed back to New Guinea late in the month, delivering a convoy to Milne Bay on 1 October. She quickly returned to Townsville to pick up another convoy, escorting it safely into Milne Bay on the 8th. Sailing again to Australia, this time to Brisbane, the destroyer shepherded a third convoy from Townsville to Milne Bay between 25 and 29 October. After moving to Buna on 8 November, Bagley helped escort a convoy of three LSTs to Finschhafen, delivering supplies to the Australian 20th Brigade on the 11th. Over the next four weeks, the destroyer escorted six more reinforcement convoys out of Buna; three to Finschhafen, one to Lae, one to Woodlark Island, and the last to Cape Cretin on 12 December.

After steaming to Buna on 23 December, Bagley joined the seven LSTs of TU 76.1.41, carrying the 7th echelon of 1st Marine Division's engineers, artillery, and stores for the Cape Gloucester operation. The crew watched the heavy cruisers bombard the beach at 0600 on 26 December, and then Bagley screened the LSTs as they landed troops and equipment. That afternoon, around 1430, a large Japanese air raid attacked the task force, sinking USS Brownson (DD-518) and damaging USS Shaw (DD-373). Later that evening, Bagley's crew saw friendly fighters splash three "Betty" bombers over the beachhead. Returning to Buna on 28 December, Bagley then helped leapfrog elements of the 32nd Infantry Division to Saidor, New Guinea, bypassing a strong Japanese garrison at Sio. The third echelon convoy landed troops and equipment without incident on 2 January 1944.

1944
Ordered "to act as stand-by escort for supply echelons", the destroyer delivered a convoy of LSTs to Saidor on 5 February and the next day, in company with USS Smith (DD-378) and two LSTs, steamed for Cape Gloucester. She departed the region on 10 February, steaming east for the west coast of the United States.

Arriving in San Francisco on 27 February, after stops at Florida Island, Guadalcanal, Palmyra, and Pearl Harbor, Bagley entered the Mare Island Navy Yard for a major overhaul on the 28th. Over the next eight weeks, she added two more 20 mm guns (for a total of six) and an improved fire control radar while a twin 40 mm gun tub was placed forward of the two after 5 in guns.

Underway for Hawaii on 5 May, Bagley began training at sea for Operation "Forager", the planned invasion of the Marianas. Arriving at Pearl Harbor on the 10th, the destroyer conducted screen, antiaircraft, and shore bombardment drills before sailing for the Marshall Islands on 29 May. Anchoring in Majuro Atoll on 3 June, Bagley joined one of the four fast carrier task groups, putting out to sea with USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) and TG 58.2 on the 8th.

Saipan
The destroyer then moved to the transport area on 15 June, screening the initial landings on Saipan before returning to the bombardment group on the 17th. From that screening position Bagley participated in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Although primarily an air battle—later dubbed "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot"—in which most of the several hundred Japanese plane casualties were lost to American fighters, several small groups of Japanese aircraft broke through the CAP. These were mostly driven off by intense antiaircraft fire from the battleships and destroyers. Bagley fired on three planes that day, lobbing 24 5 inch shells at a "Val" and a "Kate" at a range of 6000 yd astern and another 147 20 mm and 40 mm shells at a Zero that passed 1000 yd distant to starboard. In the following days, the destroyer continued to screen the battleships as they vainly chased the retreating Japanese.

On 25 June, the destroyer returned to the Marianas for two weeks of call-fire assignments in support of Marine Corps operations. Under the direction of fire control units ashore, Bagley fired over 700 5 inch rounds of high-explosive, white phosphorus, and starshell into the final pocket of Japanese resistance at the north end of Saipan. On 6 July, after receiving more ammunition from USS Montpelier (CL-57), she closed shore and fired on "caves and crevasses near waters edge on Saipan", expending 537 5-inch and over 1,000 rounds of 20-millimeter and 40 mm shells.

Bagley screened Enterprise during the strikes on Okinawa and the smaller Ryukyus on 10 September. This was followed by a raid on Aparri in the Philippines on the 11th before the large-scale effort to destroy Japanese air power on Formosa began on 12th.

Leyte Gulf
Bagley's only part in the Battle for Leyte Gulf was to join the ad hoc cruiser-destroyer group dispatched in futile pursuit of the retreating flattops, mere decoys with only half their air component on board. With the Battle for Leyte Gulf over on 25 October, and the surviving Japanese naval forces in retreat, Bagley rejoined the carriers as they stood by to support ground operations on Leyte. In order to destroy Japanese aircraft staging into the central Philippines, TG 38.4 launched attacks on Luzon from its patrol area east of Leyte Gulf on 30 October.

Arriving at Ulthui 2 November, Bagley received four days of overhaul from tender Markab (AD-21). The destroyer then sailed on the 10th with TU 77.4.1, built around USS Hoggatt Bay (CVE-75) and USS Tulagi (CVE-72), to provide air support for Leyte ground operations. Retiring to Seeadler Harbor on the 27th, the destroyer spent the next month training, or receiving repairs from USS Briareus (AR-12), all in preparation for Operation Musketeer, the landings on Luzon, Philippine Islands. On 27 December, the destroyer got underway for the Palaus, arriving there on the 30th.

1945
The 12 escort carriers of TG 77.2 and 77.4, and their screen of 19 destroyers, including Bagley, sortied from Kossol Roads on 1 January 1945. The group entered Leyte Gulf on the 3rd and steamed on to the Mindanao Sea, heading for Lingayen Gulf to provide air support for amphibious operations. Late in the afternoon of the 4th, after a day of false alarms and "snooper" alerts, a single twin-engine Japanese kamikaze crashed into USS Ommaney Bay (CVE-79), setting off explosions and fires which destroyed that escort carrier.

The next day, after the force entered the South China Sea, four Japanese kamikaze raids attacked the American warships. Although the first two waves were driven off by CAP, Bagley's crew saw suicide planes from the third attack crash USS Columbia (CL-56), USS Manila Bay (CVE-61), Australia, and USS Stafford (DE-411), damaging the latter badly enough to force her retirement to Leyte. Bagley screened the escort carriers between 6 January, when they began flying ground-attack missions over the Lingayen beaches, and 13 January when the next kamikaze plane attacked the group. Just after 0900, an undetected plane surprised and crashed into USS Salamaua (CVE-96), causing extensive damage. Several more closed the formation at 0908, and one Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar" made a run toward Bagley. All guns that could bear opened fire at 3600 yd, and the plane splashed about 1000 yd out on the port beam. The next four days passed without any Japanese attacks, and the task group retired to Ulithi, arriving there on the 23rd. With Philippine operations well underway, Bagley was assigned to the next major amphibious operation, the landings planned for Iwo Jima in February.

On 21 February, after a mere six days to conduct repairs and replenish, the warship embarked upon the last major amphibious operation of the war, the invasion of Okinawa. In company with the escort carriers of TG 52.1, Bagley arrived off Okinawa Jima on 25 March. The destroyer screened USS Anzio (CVE-57) during ground attack and support operations into April without incident. Over the next several weeks, numerous small Japanese air raids appeared on her radar screen, but only one closed the formation, an ineffective attack by a lone plane on the 12th. On 28 April, while the escort carriers launched raids on Sakishima Gunto, the crew spotted an Ohka kamikaze pass harmlessly overhead at 26000 ft.

On 24 May, after Bagley "blew out" her number one main generator, she turned toward the Philippines. Arriving in Leyte Gulf on the 27th after 102 days underway at sea, the destroyer went alongside USS Markab (AD-21) for repairs.

The warship's last combat operation began on 15 June when the destroyer departed Leyte for Kerama Retto. She rendezvoused with the six escort carriers of TG 32.1 on the 18th and supported them during a series of air strikes on Okinawa. A week later, however, Bagley's main battery director failed, and she once again retired to Leyte for repairs. After mooring there on 27 June, she went alongside Yosemite for three days of availability. As the tender was unable to repair the director, the warship steamed to Saipan on 5 July and thence on to Guam, arriving in Apra harbor on the 6th.

With a new director installed by 14 July, Bagley sailed to Saipan on the 15th. Departing the Marianas on 6 August, the warship escorted a convoy of merchant ships to Okinawa on 12 August. Three days later, her crew heard of the Japanese capitulation while shepherding a return convoy back to Saipan. Following 10 days of rest and recreation, Bagley embarked Rear Admiral Francis E. M. Whiting and staff for transport to Marcus Island. She arrived there on 31 August, and Japanese Rear Admiral Matsubara Masata surrendered the island and its garrison to Rear Admiral Whiting on board Bagley.

Returning to Saipan on 2 September, the destroyer then reported to the Commander, 5th Fleet, for extended duty. After a brief stop at Buckner Bay, Okinawa, the destroyer sailed for Japan, arriving in Sasebo on 20 September. Bagley spent the next five weeks operating as a minefield marker ship, assisting minesweeping efforts, and providing courier services between Sasebo, Nagasaki, and Wakayama. Several officers also inspected various Japanese naval vessels in port to determine compliance with Allied surrender terms.

Fate
The destroyer departed Sasebo on 29 October for the United States and, steaming via Pearl Harbor, arrived in San Diego on 19 November. Originally marked for use in experimental testing, probably the two-detonation series of atomic tests held in the summer of 1946 at Bikini Atoll (see Operation Crossroads) in the central Pacific, Bagley steamed to Pearl Harbor in late April 1946. The destroyer did not participate in the atomic tests, however, but instead reported for inactivation at Pearl Harbor on 2 May. Decommissioned there on 13 June 1946, she was towed to San Diego for scrap sale. Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 25 February 1947, and she was sold to the Moore Dry Dock Company, Oakland, California, on 8 September 1947.

Awards
Bagley earned 12 battle stars for World War II service.
