anything spoil sports back I might have
known it I guess it was too good to last doesn't look like he's in any shape to
cause any trouble at least for a while now max let's take a film on Captain
Ricardo Ortiz a professional fireman firefighting is very dangerous work and
it takes a lot of teamwork and precise judgment let's take a look at it
every morning at 8 o'clock we perform our physical fitness exercise it's
important that we keep our bodies in top physical shape and condition due to our dangerous occupational stress there in
firefighting operations the dinner-hour is a comradeship friendship while
reading we discussed various subjects among one another one of the important facts and firefighters is teamwork we
laugh together we live together and we have a lot of fun
and we see with a fire line we respond to a call it's going through my mind is
the safety and rescue of people that might be involved in this emergency or the fire and also the safety of your
subordinates members under your command don't get anyone hurt and don't get one any k*lled this is fire station 49 which
is located in Los Angeles City Harbor is unique from the standpoint that it is a station core during the fire boat and a
fire engine company when the fire boat receives a fire alarm Fela stop whatever
they're doing and it takes it on prospering less than 90 seconds to fire
up the engines put on their safety equipment untie the boat and get underway out the full house
one of the unique advantages of a fireboard is the fact that the fireball from coming alongside a ship that's in
distress or on fire and we can board it with equipment we can throw water onto
the boat or we can pump through hose lines and we'll go down into the ship and actually fight the fire one of the
most important thing they wanted me to become a firefighter with was security for myself and my family also a
challenge so the most exciting moment of my life was being appointed to this
department as a firefighter since that day I've always been happy so w*r time
here in the big job hunt and our grand prize the max trophy goes to the McNulty
school [Applause]
to our fine runners-up our consolation prize the minimax trophy
[Applause] thanks for being with us and we'll see
you all right here next time on the big job hunt

like molasses if you love red molasses yeah yeah it's a good sweetener we used
to down south a lot would you put in a teaspoon vanilla flavor it sort of a
pinch of salt haven't you we're gonna do a dash of salt just a little bit that's enough and I'm going to get the pie
crust okay now this is a store-bought pride class okay you want to pour it in

wild animal or something whatever is out there it's coming this way we better hide it's getting closer
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you are lost do not be afraid you are in
the land of the h* den no sound e or as the French call us the Iroquois this
central trail that we're walking at one serves as a vast highway that connects
the Six Nations which are called by our people Iroquois Confederacy the
Confederacy is made up of the Seneca Cayuga Onondaga Oneida Mohawk and
Tuscarora nations crossing this trail are many crossroads that connect
throughout the entire region all this belongs to the airport yes and our
trails reached to the North Woods to the eastern ocean with the warm
southern lands and to the big river to the west
[Music]
what year is this we don't count yes we count the changing of the seasons but I
am so old I have stopped counting seasons [Music]
let us rest here awhile by this tree
I have walked this path for many years of my life but this tree is an old
friend you call tree friends this because it is a special tree it may look
like the others with its bark greenery and branches but every time I see a pine
tree it reminds me of the tree of peace a symbol of the Iroquois Confederacy
a long time ago [Music] the Iroquois were separated into many
tribal groups warring amongst themselves then two wise men Kate called the vana
Veda and Hiawatha he called a meeting formed them into a league in order to
keep peace and order and to remind them of this union he planted a tree with
four roots branching north south east and west
so that the Iroquois people like the tree became one large Brotherhood how
large is this Brotherhood at one time there were as many as 25,000 people come
on let's go [Applause] [Music]
as one family we spiritually dwell in a long post and still alive people yes
that we have a systemized form of government with 50 liters we called Roy
Yanis a Roy Jana is a decision maker who is usually men but they are appointed by
the women of the clan men and women have equal roles in our government and women
have the power to remove a man from his position women have voting power in our clan do
you have lawyers well we have appointed speakers which present matters before
the council G the Indians had the first democratic form of government in this
nation yes after the discussion and the votes are counted each one has to come
to the same agreement [Music]
would be great to learn another language down one of your languages yes learning
another's language is a way to understand and other people's culture I know two languages English and Spanish
then perhaps you can teach me Spanish first tell us something in your language in a mohawk language the word for hello
is sago sago no you learn what is my
first Spanish lesson como se llaman and what does that mean it means what is your name my name is
Hiawatha Oh [Music]
[Music]
[Music]
what do you want to know
have you ever wondered why some people think newborn babies are funny-looking
and others think they're beautiful what about a painting or sculpture maybe
you saw something beautiful but all your friend could see was a piece of junk or
what about the first time you saw someone who looked very different from what you're used to what did you think
well if any of this sounds familiar and you'll run into a question that people
have been asking for a long time
what is beauty now most people would
agree that roses are beautiful but what if they were the only kind of flowers it
might be rather boring so it is with
humans without the incredible variety of people in the world without the differences in hair and eyes in dress
and decoration we wouldn't have so many fascinating ideas about what is
beautiful [Music]
beauty can be expressed in the choice of clothes in a special hairstyle in
jewelry and decorations and it could
also be expressed with a smile because all the most wonderful clothing hair and
decorations can only make someone beautiful if they feel it inside
[Music]
when you look for that kind of beauty the inside kind there is no limit to
where you can find it perhaps that's the
real magic of beauty it's always new and fresh because it comes from our own
feelings and emotions mixed with what we hear and see and touch the real magic is
when we each find our own sense of beauty [Music]
to introduce you [Music]
[Music]
