They have marched in Lyndon B. Johnson’s inaugural parade, the United States’ Bicentennial Parade in Philadelphia, and the 75th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with many other admirable events. It’s no wonder then, that the Southerners were invited to Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee (sixty year reign) in 2012, the same year that the United Kingdom will host the Summer Olympic Games, and only the second diamond jubilee in the British Empire’s history. The invitation was quite formal; in September of 2010 the Honorable Roger Bramble, Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, came personally to Jacksonville with the Queen’s invita- tion. He was greeted with a demonstra- tion by The Southerners, and delivered the invitation to the entire band. The invitation came as a rather pleasant surprise, as the band did not apply to march for the queen. In fact, there is no application process. The New Year’s Day parade committee scouts out the top university and high school bands across the world and decides who will receive an invitation. According to the Lord Lieutenant, the Southerners were chosen by a group of talent scouts who highly recommended the band to repre- sent the United States for the occasion. And represent they will as they lead the parade through the streets of London on New Year’s Day. 6 : GEM OF THE HILLS news Southerners Get a “Once in a Lifetime Chance” For many Southerners, this will be Jacksonville, Ala., and the United States. their first time leaving the country, let Each participant will also receive a com- Now that the invitation has been alone visiting London. “I have never left memorative medal for their service. “I’m issued, the real work of getting the the country, so it will be a worthwhile excited,” Lindsey Cochran summarized, band to London has begun.

  • Nonprofit Finds a New Home at Irvington Parish,Music Teacher
    Nonprofit finds a new home at Irvington parish By Elizabeth Skalski [email protected] A Baltimore nonprofit that provides shelter for the homeless is one step closer to securing its new home, making use of a vacant Catholic school. The Baltimore City Planning Commission voted unanimously at an April 5 zoning hearing for conditional use of the former parish school at St. Joseph Passionist Monastery Church in Irvington as a convalescent home, said Mary Slicher, executive director of Project PLASE (People Lacking Ample Shelter and Employment), a nonprofit that provides housing and supportive services to the homeless. Project PLASE works with people ages 18 and older who have depression, HIV, alcohol and drug addiction and other mental health issues, Slicher said. The nonprofit also offers education and job counseling programs. The building would house people with “some sort of disability,” Slicher said. “The need is great,” said Slicher, who said Project PLASE has a waiting list with 500 people. The nonprofit is working to transform the former school building on the grounds of the Irvington parish into 60 convalescent units and 30 permanent apartments and offices for the nonprofit, Slicher said. “The buildings we are in (five throughout the city) are inadequate,” said Slicher, a parishioner of St. Joseph’s Passionist Monastery. “We want a better space to expand.” The parish school, established in the 19th century, became St. Bernardine Catholic School in 1997 and was one of 13 schools closed in 2010 as part of the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s school consolidation. The building has been vacant since 2010, said Passionist Father William Murphy, pastor of St.

    ENGAGEMENT GUIDE TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION > 3 USING THIS GUIDE > 4 LEARNING OBJECTIVES > 5 FILM SUMMARY > 6 KEY PEOPLE > 7 BEFORE SCREENING > 9 INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION > 11 ACTIVITIES > 16 JOHN MCCAIN | 2 INTRODUCTION Legendary six-term US senator and war hero John McCain agreed to participate in this documentary near the end of his life, providing unprecedented access to his daily activities in Washington, DC, and at home in Arizona. This sweeping account combines the senator’s own voice—culled from original interviews, commentary, and speeches—with archival news footage and previously unseen home movies and photographs. The film also features interviews with family, friends, colleagues, and other leading political figures. Senator McCain’s continuing crusade for the causes he believed in, even during his battle with brain cancer, underscores his fighting spirit and resilience. What emerges is a portrait of a maverick with an unerring sense of duty who never forgot the most important American ideals. JOHN MCCAIN | 3 USING THIS GUIDE This discussion guide is designed as a tool for high school classroom teachers and facilitators to incorporate excerpts of the 2018 HBO film John McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls and over 28 hours of additional interview footage in the Interview Archive on the Kunhardt Film Foundation website. These materials are an informative and inspiring complement to teaching US history, government, and civics. They illustrate the significance of bipartisanship, moral leadership, and ethical decision-making. Through a rich visual retelling of McCain’s causes and alliances, a portrait of a man dedicated to ideas, rather than party, emerges.

  • Vintage John Mccain: Dead at 81, He Was America's Senator, Not Arizona's
    8/26/2018 John McCain: He Was America's Senator Not Arizona's | Phoenix New Times Gino Santa Maria Vintage John McCain: Dead at 81, He Was America's Senator, Not Arizona's AMY SILVERMAN | AUGUST 25, 2018 | 5:44PM The office of Senator John McCain released the following statement: “Senator John Sidney McCain III died at 4:28 pm on August 25, 2018. With the Senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family. At his death, he had served the United States of America faithfully for sixty years.” John McCain rubbed his hands together a lot. He did it all the time — on the U.S. Senate floor, during campaign events, standing around — hands cradled, moving. It wasn’t a casual gesture. You could tell he was putting some force into it. Often, it looked like he was trying to quash his frustration, like one time in 1994 when he was guest-hosting a talk radio show in Tucson. It’s been nearly 25 years, but I can still picture giant black headphones over that shiny white comb-over and those hands rubbing, wringing, and clenching into fists as the senator listened to a constituent prattle on about nuclear proliferation, catching my eye and rolling his. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/content/printView/10001670 1/13 8/26/2018 John McCain: He Was America's Senator Not Arizona's | Phoenix New Times Could be that McCain rubbed his hands together to keep himself from snapping at a potential voter.
