Biographie

Pierre Firmin Capmartin est le fils de Joseph Capmartin, mécanicien et de Zélie Rouch établis à Cenon dans le département de la Gironde.

Il est ordonné prêtre pour l’archidiocèse de Bordeaux le 20 décembre 1879. Il est successivement vicaire à Saint-Estèphe, à La Réole et à la paroisse Sainte Croix de Bordeaux. Il est ensuite nommé curé de Captieux puis de La Réole.

Le 19 février 1911, le pape Pie X le nomme évêque d’Oran. Il est consacré le 18 avril suivant par le cardinal Andrieu, archevêque de Bordeaux.

À son arrivée à Oran, il doit faire face à une municipalité anticléricale qui lui interdit l’entrée de l’évêché.

Le 9 février 1913, il peut inaugurer la nouvelle cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur. La même année, il encourage la création du journal catholique La Vérité, publié à Oran.
Le début de la première guerre mondiale permet un apaisement avec la municipalité.

M Capmartin succombe le 25 décembre 1914.

Theoren Fleury accumulated his net worth through his years playing for the Belfast Giants, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Colorado Avalanche,Tappara and the Calgary Flames as a right winger. In 1987, during Fleury’s junior career, there was an incident between the Canadians and the Soviet Union. Fleury had made the gesture of firing a machine gun at the Soviet bench with his hockey stick and during the second round, one of the players in the Soviet Union slashed Fleury, which brought both teams off their benches and onto the ice for a free for all. Both teams were then disqualified and all members were banned from playing for six months. In 1988 Fleur was named captain and led his team to win the Gold Medal at the tournament in Moscow. In 1989 he played with the Calgary Flames and they won the Stanley Cup, and in 2002 the Canadians won the Gold Medal at the Winter Olympics. Fleury had a major problem with alcohol and drug abuse which caused him to lose his spot in the NHL in 2003. He did try to make a comeback and was given a shot with the Calgary Flames, but was unsuccessful. He eventually opened his own line of clothing, made a pilot for a reality show and co-wrote his autobiography that tells about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child from one of his coaches, Graham James. James later admitted to the charges and is now serving time. The name of his book is “Playing With Fire,” and is a best seller. It was adapted into a one man play, making its world premiere in May of 2012 and produced by Alberta Theatre Projects in Calgary, Alberta.
