There’s a balance between younger and older students, but there are also other stories: immigrants learning a new lan- guage, professionals eying work promotions, which require skills to be sharpened and special-need cas- es, too. “Every time I think I want something (one kind of tutor),” says McKinney, “a billion calls come in for everything else.” Currently, over 60 volunteers work directly with about eighty students that vary from fi rst graders to adults. Some tutors teach just a few hours a week, while others maintain a roster of a couple of stu- dents at a time. McKinney said one of her rock star volunteers who works nearby tutors on his lunch break. And, they are all stars—without them—the pro- gram, which currently has a waiting list for stu- dents, wouldn’t exist. Laura Dowdle who retired with her husband in Shoreland Hills has been volunteering for three- and-a-half years and has tutored a couple of fi fth graders. She says progress isn’t always easy to see, but even a small effort can reap major rewards. Nick Hunger and Laura Dowdle chat while waiting for their students. (Photo by M.D. Cunningham) “Anything you can do will help,” Dowdle says. “These kids want to get better, they want help and they know that you’re here to help them. It’s re- freshing to have parents and children that want to improve.” Dowdle helped to recruit Nick Hunger who re- located from Batavia, IL, and acts as a substitute teacher for Michigan City Area Schools. “It’s a fl exible program,” Hunger said of the Learning Center. “Basically, you and the student fi gure out what works best.” Continued on Page 4 THE Page 4 June 27, 2013 “With everything being electronic and less impor- tance on traditional books, libraries have to avail themselves to what the public needs,” McKinney says. “This program brings a huge amount of people that need this service.” April Center, a former contract lawyer who moved to the area to care for her parents who were living in Long Beach, said a large part of her decision to stay in the area was her involvement with the Learning Center. “This is very much a part of my life,” Center who also volunteered in similar programs in her home- town of Columbus, OH, said. “What goes on here is unlike anything that I’ve run across before. Every day you can make a difference in someone’s life.” The volunteers work for free, of course, but the gratifi cation of dedicating time to someone who needs a little extra help is instant, and in some The Learning Center’s primary space.

There’s common ground.

  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.

    EX ALDERMAN NEWSLETTER 299 AND CHESTERFIELD 244 October 16, 2017 TOWN AND COUNTRY WARD-4 ALDERWOMAN LINDA RALLO ANNOUNCES SHE WILL NOT RUN FOR REELECTION: Linda Rallo defeated Phil Behnen in 2014 when Phil voted for rezoning land from residential to major educational so Maryville University could move sport fields and a garage to Conway Road. The measure passed but people living on Conway Road near Maryville vowed to unseat Behnen and they did by electing Linda Rallo. She pissed off the same people who elected her by endorsing Fred Meyland-Smith, the gasbag, in 2015, who over the years has repeatedly shown he does not believe in fundamental constitutional rights. They were upset that Meyland-Smith voted for the rezoning like Benigas did and also lectured them when they spoke at aldermanic meetings. However, Rallo ran unopposed in 2016. It can be hard to find people to run for office from Ward-4 where some of the wealthiest people in a wealthy city live. Linda wrote that she is retiring, but I don’t believe there are any retirement benefits for a 2-term alderperson. Here is part of an email Linda sent out on Tuesday October 10: 1 Rallo, who like Mayor Dalton is lobbyist in Jefferson City, but lobbies for Alliance for Childhood Education, a group where she is vice president. They routinely have meetings in Jefferson City on Mondays that conflict with Board of Aldermen meetings. Dalton meanwhile lobbies for companies doing business in Town and Country.

  • Portraits of People from Around the World Who Love Baseball. the Strength of Any Sport Can Be Measured by the Passion of Its Athletes and Fans
    PASSION. Portraits of people from around the world who love baseball. The strength of any sport can be measured by the passion of its athletes and fans. In this, no sport surpasses baseball. The intensity of the game is mirrored in those who follow it, as is the explosive joy of a home run and the drama of a key strikeout. Just as the Olympic Games are not just a sporting event but an experience, so is baseball. Around the world, the reactions are the same and the emotions strongly felt. Young and old, rich and poor, male and female – in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, Australia and the Pacifi c Rim, people who love baseball wear their hearts on their sleeves. They have an emotional connection to the game whether it’s played in a stadium or on a sandy lot, by professionals or children or players with disabilities. It’s the passion and pride every athlete and fan feels when they say, “I am baseball.”™ And it’s the passion and pride baseball will always bring to the Olympic Games. “It begins with two kids, three kids, a group of kids – and a ball. Add a stick – call it a bat – and you have baseball.” Bernard Malamud Courtesy: National Geographic MEXICO UNITED STATES An explosive pitcher, Jesus threw a perfect game in the 2008 Alex began playing baseball at the age of two.

  • 2010 Remarkable Women: Athletes
    REMARKABLE WOMEN Honouring Women From Our Vancouver Communities Photo courtesy City of Vancouver Archives, CVA 371-1643 Barbara Howard Barbara Howard grew up in Vancouver’s Grandview neighbourhood during the 1920s when the area was still country- side. While participating in school sports days, Barbara discovered she had a talent for running and quickly became a favourite for relay teams. In Grade 8 at Laura Secord School, she won her school’s senior championship. She attended Britannia High School where the track coach, Mr. Edwards, took her under his wing. Track time trials for the 1938 British Empire Games, to be held in February in Sydney, Australia, took place in Vancouver in October of 1937. Barbara did very well at the western time trials, outrunning some stiff competition and equaling the Empire Games record of 11.2 seconds for the 100 yard sprint. Her performance earned her a spot on the Canadian track team and the community gave her a big send-off with many gifts and lots of good wishes. She was just 17 and still in Grade 11. Just before Christmas, she set sail for an incredible adventure and the 28-day journey from Vancouver to Sydney. She became the first black woman athlete to represent Canada in international competition. Barbara ran well at the Games, coming in sixth in the 100-yard final against some very formidable opponents. She was a member of the relay team that won silver in the 440 yard relay and bronze in the 660-yard relay. Upon her return to Vancouver, Barbara went on to become a UBC graduate and the first person from a visible minority to be hired as a teacher by the Vancouver School Board.
