Blanchard Living Library on behalf of the Michigan Political History Society. Bill Ballenger: I am here today as Bill Ballenger with John J.H. Schwarz, better known to most people as Joe Schwarz. This man has been many things: doctor, mayor, state senator, congressman. You name it, he’s been it. And we’re going to talk about it. Joe Schwarz - nice to have you here for the Michigan Political History Society. Joe Schwarz: Thanks Bill, nice to be with you. Bill Ballenger: Let’s start with something - I can hardly believe this. Your grandfather fought in the Civil War? Joe Schwarz: Yes, Frederick Michael Schwarz, from Bavaria, Von Bayern, immigrated to the United States as a teenager, probably mid-to-late teens, and was in the Union Army in the Civil War. Fought in the wilderness battles, under Grant who was the big chief of that army that fought in the wilderness. Then after the Civil War, he went back to his home town, which was Philadelphia and became a Philadelphia policeman, and that’s what he was for the remainder of his career. Bill Ballenger: And he was born, what in the early 1840’s? Joe Schwarz: He was born in 1841. Bill Ballenger: And his wife, your grandmother, was born probably in the late 1840’s or something? Joe Schwarz: We think so.

    No. 1 STATE OF MICHIGAN Journal of the Senate 90th Legislature REGULAR SESSION OF 1999 Senate Chamber, Lansing, Wednesday, January 13, 1999. 12:00 Noon. In conformity with the requirements of the Constitution of the state of Michigan, the Senators of the 90th Legislature of the state of Michigan assembled in the Senate Chamber in the Capitol at Lansing this day (being the second Wednesday of January, 1999), at twelve o’clock noon, and were called to order by the Honorable Dick Posthumus, Lieutenant Governor of the state of Michigan and President of the Senate. 2 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE [January 13, 1999] [No. 1 Reverend Steven J. Fisher of First United Church of Christ of Richmond offered the following invocation: Almighty God, from whom comes the authority to govern and the particular privilege of self-government, with grateful hearts and high hopes, many gather in this place looking forward to the new year and the new legislative session. Grant Your wisdom to these Senators as they balance competing interests and priorities. Grant them Your courage to do right when they perceive their political self-interest to clash with the greater good. Grant them Your perspective that they might send away empty any seeking to abuse the political process while hearing the needs of the children and the voiceless and the most vulnerable among us. Grant them Your grace that they might enjoy their work and grow in respect for one another and remain worthy of the respect of their colleagues and their constituencies. Almighty God, bless these public servants, many of whom have sacrificed so much in their private lives to be here to make a difference for good for many in Michigan.

As senator, Murkowski had a 100% anti-fair trade voting record. 9 GOP Sarah Palin’s trade position is unknown. • Democratic challenger Tony Knowles is a fair trader. In 2004, Knowles ran against Lisa Murkowski for Senate and attacked her for voting for NAFTA-style trade deals while in the Senate, and for accepting campaign contributions from companies that off-shore jobs.1 Arizona________________________________________________________________ Senate: Incumbent GOP Sen.

On Nov. 3 campaign statement: “Kyl has repeatedly voted for tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and he has voted against a measure that prohibited outsourcing of work done under federally funded contracts,” said Pederson spokesman Kevin Griffis, who added that Pederson “wants more protections [in trade pacts] related to child labor rules and environmental safeguards to help protect U.S. jobs.”2 House Arizona 1: GOP Rep.

    LONG NOTES GEORGE WINSTON LINUS AND LUCY – THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI – VOL. 1: George Winston on Vince Guaraldi (Vince’s name is pronounced “Gurr-al-dee”, beginning with a hard “G) “Vince Guaraldi once said that he wanted to write standards, not just hits, and that he did,” says George Winston. “His music is very much a part of the fabric of American culture, but not many people know the man behind the music, and it is unusual for someone’s music to be better known than their name (some other composers who have also been in this situation are Allen Toussaint, Randy Newman (in the early and mid 1960s), Joni Mitchell (in the mid 1960s), Leonard Cohen (in the mid-1960s), Laura Nyro, Percy Mayfield, Otis Blackwell, and Wendy Waldman). If I play Linus & Lucy and other Vince Guaraldi Peanuts pieces for most kids they will usually say right away, ‘That’s Charlie Brown music’. Vince’s soundtracks for the first 16 of the Peanuts animations from the 1960s & 1970s continue to delight millions of people around the world, and many of his albums remain in print. I like to help make the connection for people that Vince Guaraldi was a great jazz pianist, and that he was the composer of the soundtracks for the first 16 of the Peanuts animation, as well as of many other great jazz pieces. Vince’s best known standards are Cast Your Fate to the Wind, Linus and Lucy, Christmas Time is Here, as well as Skating, and Christmas is Coming. A lot of Vince’s music is seasonal, and it reminds me very much of my upbringing in Montana.

    The Meecheegander Missives: Information on Michigan and Detroit to Prepare Information and Referral Professionals for the 2011 AIRS Conference in the ‘D’ June 5 – 8, 2011 The Meecheegander Missives.doc i The original posts to the AIRS Networker listserve were made daily from April 10, 2011 to June 5, 2011. During June, July, and August, the posts were collected into a single document, corrected when necessary, reformatted, garnished with illustrations pirated from the Internet, and indexed. Final edits were made August 10, 2011. The Meecheegander Missives.doc ii Introduction When it was announced that the 2011 Annual Training and Education Conference of the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) was coming to Michigan, those of us on the board of the local affiliate, MI-AIRS, knew we had our work cut out for us. With the help of Sharon Galler (who has coordinated AIRS Conferences from coast to coast), we divvied up assignments and set to work. I volunteered to write an FAQ for the Conference (a copy of which can be found at the back of this document) to be posted on the MI-AIRS Web site. And I also impetuously volunteered to contribute daily postings promoting the conference to the AIRS Networker , the listserv that’s followed by most people in the profession of community information and referral. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I enjoy writing, and how much work could it take—15 or 20 minutes a day or so? WRONG. It wound up taking a lot more time and effort than I had anticipated.

[She pronounces it as “coal-win.”] Wilder: Colwyn, it’s pronounced. [Wilder says “coll-win,” as in collar.] Burstein: Colwyn. Wilder: Yeah, Colwyn. Burstein: . Colywn, Pennsylvania, and about your family. Where were your folks from? Wilder: My – I think – I know my father’s family are from North Carolina. I think my mother’s family were also from North Carolina. Apparently they had come North much earlier than my father’s family, because my mother was born in Pennsylvania. My father was born in North Carolina. He left – my grandfather brought his family to Philadelphia – to Colwyn, as a matter of fact. That’s something I don’t really understand. I don’t know how they managed to end up in Colwyn, but that’s where they did. My father was 12 years old at that time. He’s now – he’ll be 92 in November – the 23rd of November. Burstein: So this was in 1912 that they came there. Wilder: Yeah, in 1912 he came – they came to Colwyn. There were – in Colwyn, I think there was my paternal grandparents and my maternal grandparents, and my aunts and uncles, and my family.
