LEONARDO DICAPRIO'S 2016
OSCAR ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FOR
BEST ACTOR
•Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar
acceptance speech was certainly
one for the record books. After six
previous Academy Award
nominations, DiCaprio finally joined
the ranks of Oscar winners and took
home the 2016 Oscar for Best Actor
in a Leading Role.
Revenant
• The 41-year-old actor took a moment to
speak about a cause that's very close to
his heart: environmentalism and climate
change.
• And lastly I just want to say this: "Making
The Revenant was about man's
relationship to the natural world. A world
that we collectively felt in 2015 as the
hottest year in recorded history. Our
production needed to move to the
southern tip of this planet just to be able
to find snow.
Climate change is real, it is
happening right now.
It is the most urgent threat
facing our entire species,
and we need to work
collectively together and stop
procrastinating.
Climate changes
We need to support leaders around the world who do not
speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of
humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the
billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who
would be most affected by this. For our children’s children,
and for those people out there whose voices have been
drowned out by the politics of greed. I thank you all for this
amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for
granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very
much."

Memories of Barica Jakupec, a retired teacher
of chemistry of our school
• We are witnessing today the
climate change which is the result
of our human activities.
• There are no more visible season
changes like before when it was
clear is it winter, spring, summer or
fall.
• But I remember that even in my
younger days there were
deviations and surprises from
nature.

Half of April, Late Seventies (1978 or 1979
years)
It was a beautiful spring morning.
I wore a light green coat
and black spring shoes and came to
school extremely happy.
• Sun disappeared during my lecture
hours, sky turned grey
and heavy snow began to fall.
Flakes were big. They reminded me of
the large white tissues.
The children were enthusiastic and
could not wait to get outside ...

• Traffic in the city was difficult. City buses did not drive.
• Former teacher of geography Marija Zic and I decided to
walk despite the unsuitable clothes and shoes. Even thought we
stumbled and
fell all the way, we succeed to get to the house.
• We were wet and almost frozen Stormy wind came with snow.
It carried everything. Even plastic blinds from the window
which children later used as sledges.

• The next day we also walked
to the school. We had an
ecological project instead of
a lecture.
• Students and teachers happily
cleaned the snow from laurel
and other plants in order to
prevent damage to trees and
shrubs under the weight of
snow.
• Students were cheerful
because they were not in the
class. They cleaned the snow,
played with snowballs and
enjoyed in the huge amounts
of snow.
• I feel nostalgic for those times
when people spend more time
in the nature and for the
nature ...

Mirjana Nadalin, retired teacher of Croatian language:
Anecdotes from colder and older times
• On May 1, 1960 , storm carried a fist-sized stones
from metal roofs and woodsheds. Everyone was hiding in
the house because it was dangerous outside.
• On 15th June 1980, the storm carried away the cars
and caravans from the bridge which connects Rijeka with
island Krk. After that event , they have decided to close
the bridge when the storm occurs.
• In 1964, high school students did not have any classes
due to snow so they sledged from school to Torpedo
Factory.

But the winter of 1978,
I will never forget…
• Deep snow fell. A young man came to propose his girlfriend. He
came by bus to Pecine- eastern part of Rijeka. But he could not
return because the buses were not driving due to the huge snow.
He was not worried about the weather. He kept walking
through the deep snow for hours. He was happy anyway
because she said "Yes."
• It was my husband, of course. I am always glad to talk about
those lovely colder days.

Ivan Misija, retired
Gym teacher
2017/4/5
• It was the winter of 1963. I was twenty years
old and I had lived and studied in Banja Luka
in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
• I came by bicycle to my first collage exam. As
I forgot the index in which my professor had
to write in my first grade, I had to return
home, which was about a mile away.
• The temperature was about -23˚C.
• It was so cold that I had to get off the bike
several times and run past her to get warm.
• I was wearing warm clothes but it did not help at all. It was too cold.
• I can say that there is no such frizzy weather during the winter
anymore in our country. It used to be -20 ° C for more than one
month back then.
• We loved to skate on an ordinary road which was frozen and
compressed by snow.
• We would skate at night because we could not see each other so we
were not ashamed of falling ...
• We had such a great time...

40 years ago : 52 centimetres of snow in
Rijeka
2017/4/5
Did you know that just before spring of 1976
Rijeka was covered with half a meter of
snow ?
On 9th March 1976 "Snow has once again surprised
the citizens of Rijeka! Today, it started to snow on
blossoming trees. The thermometer is about zero."
2017/4/5
The city stopped that day - thousands of people did not come
to their workplaces, public transport did not drive,
ambulance and stores did not work. There was a lot of
dissatisfaction provoked by the fact of not cleaning
snow properly. Residents blamed responsible for not
organising the cleaning of snow effectively.

What would we do today if it snows so much that we need to stay in the
house with no signal on cell phone and no Internet? Maybe we would
read ???
