President, 2013 Merrickville and District Historical Society
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Andrew comes to us with significant experience in the affairs of the Historical Society. He was among the volunteers who stepped forward to answer a plea for help over 10 years ago and has been a valuable member of the Executive serving as, Membership Chair and Secretary-Treasurer until employment opportunities in Kingston and Brockville drew him away from us. Returning to the Ottawa/Merrickville area last April, Andrew again responded to our plea for help in conducting the affairs of the Association and volunteered to serve as Treasurer. Due to the ease of rising to the top in a volunteer position, and responding to Nina’s gentle persuasion, Andy found himself the new President. “What Just Happen? ” Andy was heard to exclaim. What happened is that the Society is very fortunate to obtain an excellent new President and worthy successor to Nina and those who preceded her as guardians of the history of our wonderful Village. President’s Report Well, what is happening at the Historical Society this spring as we all emerge from our winter? This is my first newsletter article as President of the Historical Society and as I mentioned in my Christmas message following the likes of Nina Donald, John Cowan and others is a challenge. First we are preparing for the Annual Dinner in April. We are also looking forward to the June opening of the Blockhouse for the summer season, and the schoolchildren’s essay/art contest, and I believe that we are also getting close to the 50th anniversary of the Blockhouse Museum. So we shall have to plan something special when that happens and find a suitable celebrity to commemorate that event. Does anyone have connections with

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
