Volume 24 August, 1981 No. 8 NHPA PRESIDENTS MESSAGE By Wally Shipley MY HAT'S OFF — to AL HODGE, Director of the Ainworth, Nebraska Horseshoe Club, The Ainsworth City Schools and their youth. Sometime ago, A1 Hodge requested certificates for a proposed youth horseshoe tournament within the Ainsworth City Schools. Ainsworth has a population of 2500. When I sent the signed certificates, I asked A1 to send me pictures and results on his success. Thanks A1 and Ainsworth City Schools for an outstanding job. The following are his, the school's Activities Director's and a youth spokeman's (for the 190 youth who participated in the program tournament) comments. Dear Mr. Shipley: We, the Horseshoe people of Ainsworth, Nebraska, wish to thank you and the National As- sociation for the achievement certificates you sent us to use for the junior program that we sponsored at Ainsowrth this spring. Judging from the results of our efforts, if more clubs would work with their schools, we would have a lot more interest among our young people in horseshoe. The results are gratifying. We realize all juniors cannot participate in the regular sports of the school, so this gives each individual a chance to reach the top of his class in horseshoe, if he wishes. We need to emphasize this program as here lies our future in horseshoe pitching. Hope to meet you in Minnesota. With Gratitude, A1 Hodge Director Dear Mr. Shipley, I want to thank you and all horseshoe pitchers for the certificates for our students. The following is an insight to our program at Ainsworth. Our three classes have a total of 190 students who competed in a tournament. It was doubles play and single elimination. Because of class time, scheduling, 15 points was game. The finalists played to 25 points. Mr. A1 Hodge and members of the Ainsworth Club were present at all classes for two weeks. Their words of encouragement and help made it all possible. A special thanks goes to each of them from us all. Mr. Hodge presented patches, memberships to the three winning teams. Our Sporting Goods dealer presented trophies to winners. He has also sold a few Gordons since we finished the unit. The response to this activity was well received. Last night the regular practice was loaded with juniors. I am sure that we want to have our junior pitchers ready for the State meet held here in August. As an educator, I feel that we must use our resources around the community. A1 contacted me last year, but we had finished with the unit. Early this spring plans were made, then put into 4 The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/August, 1981 NHPA PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - (Continued) action. The school had a few shoes, but A1 put out a call — shoes of all kinds appeared for the class. Al, will be sending you pictures on the class and winners. I hope it can be used in your na- tional book. I would like to state from a famous man for all the members who helped with the class. "Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing — the results." Mr. Shipley, these people fit the part—a job well done and with results. Thank you, John O. Lucero Activities Director Ainsworth City Schools TO AINSWORTH ASSOCIATION AND NHPA: For about a week the horseshoe pitching for juniors at AHS has been a success. With the help of physical education faculty and Al Hodge, the Director of the Horseshoe Association in our area as well as the students and members, we were able to get more people interested in our Junior Division. 190 possible future horseshoe pitchers in Ainsworth, Nebraska. They participated in the Ainsworth City Schools youth program tournament. Thanks to Al Hodge, Director of the Ainsworth Horseshoe Club and to the Ainsworth City Schools Activities Director, John Lucero. During the week we have been going out in P.E. Class and playing a couple of games. We are now in the tournament play with our class. There are about 200 students we have been working with. At the end of the tournament there will be certificates of appreciation awarded to all stu- dents who participated and trophies to the top player of each class. So from this point the horseshoe pitching for the students at AHS has been a success. I would also like to thank all of the people who have let us borrow their shoes. Jeannie Fiala Junior Spokesman Your council has approved Ottie Reno's new sanctioned horseshoe. Good luck, Ottie! Sorry — plans have changed. The Clydesdale Horses will not be at Genola; but, will be at the St. Benedict College outside of St. Cloud. The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/August, 1981 NHPA PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE — (Continued) Thanks! I have been very honored in being your president and leader for the past eight years. I have appreciated your confidence (knowing no one person could please everyone all the time). For this past year of efforts and cooperation, I thank the entire NHPA staff, all state offi- cers, league officials and club officers for an outstanding job well done. With all of your continued efforts and support, our sport and the NHPA will continue to progress. NHPA PUBLICITY ACTIVITY By Bernard Herfurth NHPA VOLUNTEER PUBLICITY WORKER PLAN — Volunteer publicity workers give news releases to their newspapers monthly. These news releases are suggested by the Publicity Director in the Digest issues. A canvas will be made to get scores of new volunteeers signed up at the Genola World Tournament. COMMEMORATIVE STAMP PROJECT — This year NHPA publicity decided to follow through with a request to the U.S. Postal Service to honor our sport by issuing a commemora- tive stamp. The membership was requested and replied by sending in their personal request for such a stamp to the Postmaster-General. All requests were answered by the Government. As we expected the Citizens Advisory Stamp Committee turned down our official first request. We will re-submit a request in 1982. Ambassador Robert Ryan, and Former Assistant Secre- tary-General to the United Nations will assist NHPA publicity in guidance to the proper proce- dure towards receiving a stamp in the future. One of Mr. Ryan's duties in the United Nations was to acquire a commemorative stamp for the U.N. It took him six years to receive it. INTERNATIONAL HORSESHOE PITCHING DIPLOMACY — Like Ping-Pong grass roots diplomacy between China and the United States, NHPA publicity is embarking on an In- ternational Horseshoe Pitching Diplomacy plan. It would be along the lines of the recent "Horseshoes for Togo" plan. This plan sent twelve (12) pairs of American shoes courtesy of St. Pierre Mfg. Co. and the NHPA to the newly formed 6 team league in Lome, Togo in West Africa. Our lady Ambassador, Miriam Johnson, and her aides will present the shoes at a spe- cial ceremony with Togo Government Officials and players in attendance. Again Mr. Ryan will assist NHPA publicity by making the proper request to our State Department for their bless- ings. The Government has an agency that helps promote such grass roots diplomacy between ours and other countries. This could result in introducing our sport in many foreign lands. PITCH HORSESHOES FOR HEALTH MONTH (JULY) — It was decided to hold a "Pitch Horseshoes For Health" Month instead of a week. It is hoped that volunteer publicity workers and other members will offer press releases to newspapers in all areas. It is hoped that clubs will hold novice tournaments in an attempt to get new members. Perhaps some areas would rather have another month set aside, August or September; it isn't important what month it is, only that a month is observed.

    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing).

Though the name stands for "Counterintelligence Program," the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate "radical" political opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally - protected political activity. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

EDITORIAL POLICY American Saddlebred eMagazine’s content will reflect primarily the programs and interests of the American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA), and American Saddlebred Registry (ASR). Its intent is to enhance education about the understanding of the ASHA and its programs, capitalizing on the achievements of its members, and to promote the breeding and use of the American Saddlebred. Favoritism among the adherents of the breed, or promoting one individual (horse or member) at the expense of others, will be avoided.

Every effort is made to balance current and historical topics in American Saddlebred. Promoting a positive image of the American Saddlebred requires prohibiting the use of photographs of horses that are wearing any artificial training devices, i.e., chains, shackles, etc., in the pages of American Saddlebred, whether in editorial or advertising content.

  • To Disrupt, Discredit and Destroy” the FBI’S Secret War Against the Black Panther Party by Ward Churchill
    “To Disrupt, Discredit and Destroy” The FBI’s Secret War against the Black Panther Party by Ward Churchill The record of the FBI speaks for itself —J. Edgar Hoover Introduction to The FBI Story 1965 Beginning in August 1967, the Black Panther Party was savaged by a campaign of political repression, which in terms of its sheer viciousness has few parallels in American history. Coordinated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of its then-ongoing domestic counterintelligence program (COINTELPRO) and enlisting dozens of local police departments around the country, the assault left at least thirty Pan- thers dead, 1 scores of others imprisoned after dubious convictions,2 and hundreds more suffering perma- nent physical or psychological damage.3 Simultaneously, the Party was infiltrated at every level by agents provocateurs, all of them harnessed to the task of disrupting its internal functioning.4 Completing the package was a torrent of “disinformation” planted in the media to discredit the Panthers before the public, both personally and organizationally, thus isolating them from potential support.5 Although an entity bearing its name would continue to exist in Oakland, California for another decade, as would several offshoots situated elsewhere, the Black Panther Party in the sense that it was originally conceived was effectively destroyed by the end of 1971.6 In this, it was hardly alone. During the 1960s, similar if usually less lethal campaigns were mounted against an array of dissident groups ranging from the Socialist Workers Party to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, from the Revolutionary Action Movement to Students for a Democratic Society, from the Republic of New Africa to the Southern Chris- tian Leadership Conference.
