PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Arrangements for the Gathering are gOing ahead at full steam. Jcan Ellis and Keweenaw Kernewek are doing all the really hard work in the Upper Peninsula. Marv Rusch is keeping the books in hand and makes sure we don't spend too much. Richard Hay puts wonderful effort into 'TAM KERNEWEK' which continues to Lmprove to a high standard. Jean Jolliffe works really hard on very many issues particularly around our literature and resource centre. JUdy Lacy keeps us closely in touch with Cornwall. Paul Liddicoat is sorting out the membership. Richard Chamberlain works at publicity for us and getting a re­ publication of Dr. Todd's book. Who have I left out? Apologies in adv ance. r went to Cornwall again, this January, and had the entirely pleasurable task of talking to some of the many presenters and dancers we have coming from there. You will find a small biography of some of them elsewhere in TAM KERNEWEX. And of course Terry Jones and her dancers here in Nor~ America. We all look forword to meeting the new cornish Societies in Calumet. Many of them have come into being since the last Gathering in Sacramento. I hope they will have represen~ation on the next Board which we elect in Calumet. I hope the spring brings warmth into your lives and gives 'one and all' energy to come to Calumet. Rosalie Armstrong

Starting with the March 1994 issue of TAM KERNEWEK we've tried to keep you informed of the actions of the Local Government COllLllli.ssion.. The December newsletter indicated t -hat a decision was anticipated shortly. This i.ndeed did happen early in January (11th) when the recommendation for continuation of the status quo option was announced. This did much to allay the fears of carving up Cornwall al_ though not satisfying those ",ho favored a single unitary authority for all of Cornwall. Now however, according to a late report from CORNISH WORLDWIDE, produced by the London Cornish A'ssociation, the Secretary of State for the Environment, John Gummer, effectively sacked the Chairman of the Local Government Commission, Cornishman Sir John Banham, and rejected many of the Commission's recommendations. As they say, MStay tuned for further announcements". VISITORS TO CALUMET '95 FROM CORNWALL (and Canada) "Oh! The Eastern z.ri-nds are b!orJing The breezes seem to say, We are going, We are going The Cornish Emigrants Song To North Americay." R. S. Hawk.er, Cornish Ballads

Attendees at our JUly Gathering will be favored by the presence of Cornishmen from the homeland. Our President reports that about twenty are coming. At this date the fo~lowing program participants (listed alphabetically) are fairly certain; others may be announced later. Bert Biscoe lives in Truro. He is a Councillor for Carrick District Council, a poet and a tilmmaker. Bert expresses well the longings and ambitions with which young Cornish- face tomorrow. Howard CUrnow has enlivened many Cornish meetings in North America recently and we are thrilled he is coming to Cal~et with more songs, stories, scenes and fun. Phil Hosken lives in Redruth and is editor of the new (1994) quarterly CORNISH WORLD. He will give us the sense of how the young Cornish face the future with· struggle and humour. Ann Trevenen Jenkin is the first woman to be elected a Deputy Grand Bard. She will lead workshops on the Cornish language and hopes to lead a Bardic ceremony. Jennifer Lowe will lead the "Ros Celtek.' dancers as they dance, sing, play folk instruments, story tell and speak Cornish. We can look forward to 'Ros Celtek' members entertain~ng. teaching, and enthrallinS us throughout the Gathering. Joy Stephenson AS announced earlier, we can expect to be amused by her presentation of Cornish dialect. She will lead a workshop on social history. Moira Tangye heads THE CORNISH-AMERICAN CONNECTION project sponsored by the Institute of Cornish Studies (part of the University of Exeter). She will give an update on this project launched in 1991 and colle9 t your stories and contributions to the most comprehensive study ever of the massive Cornish migration to North America. PARTICIPANTS FROM CANADA Terry Jones from Vancouver, Be leads 'Kevryn and the Cousins', a dance group from British Columbia, Minnesota, and Wisconsin who entertain with Cornish and Celtic dances. Peter Julian lives in Hamilton, ON but the Newquay brine still bristles in his accent. We expect you will be enchanted with his songs. Margaret James-Korany of Montreal, PQ is Moira Tangye's COlleague and receives all information concerning Cornish migration to Canada. THE PREZ SEZ pROGRAMME Of EIGHTH GATHERING

C.A.H.S. MEETING S AT THE GATHERING

Board Meeting: 9a.m. • Thursday 27 July 1995 Biennial General Meeting 10a.m., Saturday 29 July 1995 Meeting o f 1995-97 Board 2p.m. Sunday 30 JUly 1995

The location of these meetings will be announced later. It is important tor the vitality of the organisation that as many people as possible come to these meetings. The more we can divide the work, the better it will be done. There are plenty of jobs on otfer. If you have skills such "as time, energy, writing ability, etc please let me know either before or at the Gathering.

R . A.

C.A.H.S. DUES (FOR A,G,M, DISCUSSION) pur dues .are very minimal. I think we cou2d do with a mo tion to raise them. Do we need to create categories -- life membership for example? Should we continue with the Pau1 "Smales fund to bring speakers from Cornwall? This has not been well support­ ed a s of late. Please respond or at least think about these issues. How much is C.A.H.S worth to you? -

CRADLE TO GRAVE: Life, Work and Death at the Lake Superior Copper Mines by Larry Lankton, (c) 1991 Oxford University Press, New York, 319 pages with bibliography and index. This book by an Associate Professor of History at Michigan TechnOlogical University was the winner of the 1992 Great Lakes History Prize. It chronicles twelve decades of copper mining by authorBtatively presenting social histo ry, techno1ogy, and the labor policies which permeated all aspects of resident's lives both above and be10w ground. It describes the rise and fall of Calumet & Hecla mining company which d ominated the region. Although there are some i11ustrations, more drawings and diagrams on mine layout and ~chinery would have helped clarify the text.

COPPER COUNTRY JOURNAL: The Diary of Schoolmaster Henry Bobart, 1863-1864 edited by Dr. Phillip P. Mason, (c) 1991 Wayne State University Press, Detroit, Michigan, 346 pages with illustrations and index. The author brings to life the century old journal of a New England teacher whose 1ife was suddenly ch~ged to that of the Cornish t o wn of Clifton. The experiences of the schooLmaster provides an interesting account of nearly all aspects of day-to-day liv­ ing. The book covers a span of a litt1c over a year during the boom period of copper mining. Many Cornish family names appear. Reviewed by: TK editor
