Westminster Chorus 2015 International Chorus Champion Enough Cannot Be Said About the Incredible Westminster Chorus from Westminster, CA Welcome to the 2016 Midwinter Convention Welcome to Reno and welcome to the annual gathering of Barbershop family and friends at the 2016 Midwinter Convention! This city has an enormous amount to offer us during our stay to complement an expanded schedule of shows and festival singing. We welcome the youth choruses that have scratched and clawed their way to Reno and have spent a huge amount of energy to set aside the time and get financials in place. They have also worked on their singing, of course, in order to share some harmonies with us here. The word in the halls is that they all have even learned brand new tags (some they’ve even written) and want to share those. What would they like in return? They want to meet and talk to YOU about your past Barbershop experiences and how you want to SHARE Barbershop in YOUR OWN future. Oh, and teaching your favorite tag, arrangement, or Barberpole Cat would be an additional gift to share as well! The seniors quartets are here in force, so don’t miss the Seniors Quartet Contest on Saturday. When I hear the seniors quartet barbershoppers and the youth festival attendees share their music with one another on stage and in the lobbies, I am constantly amazed at how music transcends all age barriers. It’s simply magical how singers can perform, reach out, and engage any listener of any age in any story that is told through song. It’s a powerful thing. Don’t forget that our hotel/casino offers a great variety of food choices and other entertainment, but keep the smoking to the designated areas or else I’ll cough in the middle of that fabulous baritone post. Western history is all around us in museums near downtown. The gold rush of the 1840s made Reno the “last” developed spot on the map where people could get supplies they needed for the hard trek up and over the mountains as they sought their fame and fortune by going west. May you find fame and fortune this week through the joy of singing! Our hope is that everyone revels in the gift of music and shares their songs while in Reno. Let’s also celebrate some of the performers getting their just rewards on stage. Everyone is a winner! If you see me, please come and say hi. And don’t forget to SHARE YOUR MUSIC in Reno! Don and Linda Fuson Wishing you a GREAT START in 2016 with the Barbershop Harmony Society! 1 Credits & Thanks The Barbershop Harmony Society thanks the following people for their help with the Midwinter Convention: Convention Committee Chairman: Ken Martin Show Director: Carlos Barillo Video Coordinator: Scott Wetle Audio Coordinator: Tim Brooks Stage Manager: Dave Duncan Webcast: Adrian Leontovich Table of Contents 1 Society President’s Welcome 5 Midwinter Convention Schedule 8 Peppermill Map 10 General Information 13 Harmony University Class Information 15 Thursday Night Show 20 International Youth Chorus Festival 28 Friday Night Show 32 International Seniors Quartet Contest 43 Saturday Night Show Future Conventions International Conventions 2016 Nashville, TN July 3 – 10 2017 Las Vegas, NV July 2 – 9 2018 Orlando, FL July 1 – 8 2019 Salt Lake City, UT June 30 – July 7 2020 Los Angeles, CA June 28 – July 5 Midwinter Conventions 2017 San Antonio, TX Jan 17 – 22 2016 Midwinter Convention Survey Tell us about your experience at this year’s Midwinter convention by taking our convention survey found at: www.barbershop.org/reno 2 President’s Council Membership Annual Leadership Giving Program of Harmony Foundation as of 12/15/2015 – 968 members CENTRAL STATES (55 MEMBERS) Young, Denny and Anita Chairman Level © Edmondson, Gayle and Patricia DIXIE (65 MEMBERS) Director Level Advisor Level Bittle, Ed and Barbara © Balser, Bill Advisor Level © Caldwell, Clarke and Esther Huyck, Rich Elenteny, Trayce and Ray Knight, Rich Funderburg, Noah and Mary Counselor Level Pifer, Peter and Sylvia Hagan, Don and Dottie Becker, Danny and Melissa Kiser, Harvey and Janet Counselor Level © Leslie, Jerry and Pat Brooks, Tim and Karen Mathieu, Mike and Jan Campbell, Bart and Audrey Myers, Tim and Leslie D'Ambrosio, Steve Swenson, Bob and Telva DeBusman, Jim and Barb Tisdall, Thom Hrach, Frank and Marilyn Woodhams, Nancy Jordan, Jori Partner Level Martin, Ken and Scarlett Bandy, Bruce and Leatte Morrison, Terry and Vicki © Beckman, Dean and Nancy Royce, Dobbie Brown, Ray © Sams, Jim and Doris Burbank, Wendell and Vona Ann Partner Level Burdick, Bob and Sandy Andrus, Duke and Nancy Gourley Carlisle, Dave and Abby Banks, Bill and Verna Carlisle, Terry L.

  • Pressepolitik in Den US- Kriegen Des 20
    Die andere Front: Pressepolitik in den US- Kriegen des 20. Jahrhunderts Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Andreas Elter Saarbrücker Str. 5 51107 Köln Köln, April 2003 ii Danksagung Angeregt wurde diese Dissertation durch den verstorbenen Leiter der Anglo- Amerikanischen Abteilung der Universität zu Köln, Prof. Jürgen Heideking. Unmittelbar nach Abschluss meines Studiums im Jahre 1996 kamen Prof. Heideking und ich in mehreren Gesprächen gemeinsam zu der Auffassung, dass bei der Untersuchung US- amerikanischer Kriege des 20. Jahrhunderts häufig ein ganz entscheidender Aspekt fehlte: Nämlich eine übergreifende Analyse der Pressepolitik, die vor allem die Bedeutung der Medienlenkung im Krieg herausarbeitet. Auf dieser Grundlage entstand überhaupt erst mein Entschluss, eine entsprechende Dissertation vorzulegen. Daher soll hier an erster Stelle Prof. Heideking gedankt werden. Durch einen beruflich bedingten Umzug nach Mainz und den Tod Prof. Heidekings verzögerte sich der Start des Projekts um drei Jahre. Eine Initialzündung für die Wiederaufnahme und Vervollständigung der Recherchen stellte dann 1999 ein Aufenthalt als "Visiting Media Fellow" der RIAS-Kommission am "Institute for Public Policy" der Duke University in North Carolina dar. Die Leiterin des Instituts, Ellen Mickiewicz, gewährte mir unter anderem auf Grund ihrer Erfahrungen einer Beratertätigkeit für den ehemaligen US-Präsidenten Jimmy Carter tiefe Einblicke ins Innenleben pressepolitischer Zusammenhänge und Kontakte zu amerikanischen Journalisten. Ihr und den anderen Lehrkräften der Duke University, insbesondere Prof. David Paletz, gebührt ebenfalls Dank. In den USA haben mich darüber hinaus Martin Bohley (CNN Atlanta), Susan Tifft (New York Times), Rick Atkinson (Washington Post), Albert Dagliesh (Presseabteilung des Pentagon) sowie die freundlichen Damen und Herren im CBS und NBC-Archiv sowie an der Library of Congress und den National Archives bei meinen Recherchen unterstützt.

  • New Hope for Marriage
    New Hope for Marriage Louise Strait May 1975 Photo date and location unknown In the late sixties and early seventies we saw unique ways of working out man-woman relationships: trial marriages, group marriages, contract marriages, non-sanctioned marriages. None seemed to provide the answers and both men and women are taking their exits in greater numbers and variety of ways than ever before. So much so that the greeting card industry is now marketing "Just Divorced" party invitations to which people bring gifts like split peas and egg separators. "Announcing our new address... Splitsville," says another. The divorce rate, as a matter of fact, is still climbing. Last year it was up 6.2 percent from 1973. For the first time, the number of runaway wives has risen to equal that of runaway husbands. Some of the departures are bizarre: in one case a wife disappeared after she jumped out of their car at a red light, saying that she would clean the snow off the rear window. Does it matter so much? Is this problem of the essential husband-wife relationship within the family so significant? Vicki Tatz has pointed out the effects of family disintegration upon children and the aged. What about the husband and wife? Studies have shown that single and divorced people feel a high degree of stress and unhappiness. Because of our lifelong need to give and receive love, marriage is necessary not only for the sake of the children or the sake of society, but for the sake of those immediately involved the man and woman themselves.

  • Dick Swanson's Biography/CV
    DICK SWANSON, PHOTOGRAPHER: BIOGRAPHY AND CURRICULUM VITAE BIOGRAPHY AND ARTISTIC ANALYSIS Richard Conrad "Dick" Swanson was born in 1933 in Caro, Michigan, and grew up in nearby Vassar. As a teenager Dick Swanson bought a Graflex Speed Graphic large format camera and started his own commercial photography business, the Vassar Photo Service. Between 1948 and 1952 he took hundreds of photographs for local newspapers and businesses. These black and white images captured virtually every aspect of a typical small midwestern U.S. town shortly after World War II. The subjects included school cooks and football players; power plants and old hotel rooms; car wrecks and weddings. Several images documented post-war events such as memorial ceremonies and the immigration of European refugees. Some of the more interesting photographs of this period come from Swanson's coverage of the Vassar Centennial celebration in 1949. Over several days, as residents donned vintage nineteenth- century clothing and participated in activities of a bygone era, Swanson created dozens of striking (and often humorous) images in which time and place are ambiguous, and whose subjects appear at once familiar and strange. After graduating from high school Swanson stopped taking pictures to focus on his college education, a career in dentistry, and raising a family. He and his wife Jo moved to Florida in 1961 with their first son Michael, and later had two more children, Mark and Matthew. In the late 1960s he decided to pick up photography again, this time as an artistic endeavor. He purchased a 35mm SLR camera, built his own darkroom and started taking pictures whenever he had free time.
