2012 Alumni Newsletter 90est.est. 1922 monomoy t wono 2012 Alumni Newsletter 90th Anniversary Celebration!! Save the Date - August 10-11, 2012 2 CAPE COD SEA CAMPS 2012 ALUMNI NEWSLETTER CC SC Nancy Garran Camp Director Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends “Best 90 Years Ever”………………. A tagline used for the 90th Anniversary summer celebration in 2012 at the Cape Cod Sea Camps – Monomoy and Wono – celebrating 90 years of serving youth in an outdoor setting on beauti - ful Cape Cod. Taglines as described by Wikipedia are for “creating a memorable phrase that will reinforce the audi - ence’s memory of a product. Some taglines are successful enough to warrant inclusion in popular culture.” Although our tagline may not rise to the level of mainstream pop culture, for those of us who are a part of the Cape Cod Sea Camps family, there is an informal consensus that each summer is “Our Best Summer Ever!” which is the genesis of our 90th Anniversary slogan. Since 1922 there has been a camp community experience on the shores of Cape Cod, inviting children and young adults to spend a summer playing, living together and learning new and untried skills in a uniquely American envi - ronment – a summer recreational camp. As Peg Smith, American Camp Association Chief Executive Officer writes, “Community is the fabric of camp!” Each summer we strive to develop positive values, build character, increase accountability for personal actions, expand on leadership opportunities, cultivate independent thinking and prepare youth with life skills such as resilience, team work, coping mechanisms and so much more. The community we estab - lish each summer, as we have over the past 90 years, knits together a new group of children and staff who focus on creating a world of learning with six key practices that resonate each summer – enrichment and physical activity, real world applications and hands on experiences, incorporation of curricular standards such as sailing and tennis awards, and trained staff. Ninety years ago, my grandparents, Capt. and Mrs. Del, dedicated themselves to serving youth and passionately believed in the educational and spiritual value of a camp community with properly constructed recreational activi - ties. Capt. Del understood that every child needs to be best at something, whether hitting a baseball the furthest, sail - ing a course the quickest, swimming a distance the fastest or simply having the most perfect bed in camp. His innate sense of what was good and useful for children allowed him to see into children’s hearts and understand what was important to them, as individuals and as a part of a community. Although there have been many changes and tran - sitions over the last 90 years, the result of what Cape Cod Sea Camps embodies today far surpasses anything my grandfather could have imagined with more than 1500 different campers crossing our threshold each summer and 250 different staff. Yet it is Capt. and Mrs. Del’s principles of excellence and industry, their unflagging dedication to providing children with unique recreational, educational opportunities in a supportive, nurturing setting which inform everything that happens today at the Cape Cod Sea Camps. Capt. Del originally coined the phrase “Best Summer Ever” as a way to describe the advantages and positive out - comes his “boys” experienced at Monomoy each season. The Cape Cod Sea Camps are pre-eminent today because of Delahanty commitment, tenacity, dedication, character and passionate belief in the positive legacy of the camp community. This summer we will celebrate the “Best 90 Years Ever” with an Alumni Weekend on August 10-11, but we will also cheer on the next 90 years –the best is yet ahead – resting squarely on the foundation built by the campers and staff who came before. We encourage your connection to Cape Cod Sea Camps and if you have a friend interested in our programs or would like current information, please let us know, visit us in person or check out our website at www.capecodseacamps.com . Thank you for being a part of our camp family and cheers to a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year – our 90th Anniversary Year! Looking forward to greeting many of you this summer on the shores of Cape Cod Bay. From my council ring to yours, Nancy W.N Garnracny Executive Director CAPE COD SEA CAMPS 2012 ALUMNI NEWSLETTER 3 SC CC December, 2011 Dear FriendGs, rant W. Koch $cholarship Fund Report As a result of your generosity to the Grant W. Koch Scholarship Fund, last summer it was possible for 20 children to enjoy camp at CCSC Resident Camp, the Monomoy Day Camp, Brewster Day Camp, and Camp Farley. That’s a wonderful achievement, and it made a real difference for the scholarship campers. One mother wrote, “You all do a great job and have expanded the children’s horizons!” Another said, “I’m writing to thank you personally for awarding the camp scholarship to my son…. It’s such a wonderful opportunity for him & we’re both happy & excited. I appreciate your generous consideration.” Without the scholarships you provide through your contributions to the Scholarship Fund, these deserving children would not have had the opportunities they did. YOU made the difference, and the thanks go to you! The struggling economy continues to handicap us, both in terms of investment income and contributions. As some of our friends have been forced to diminish the size of their gifts, it’s necessary to broaden our donor base if we hope to maintain the current level of scholarship funding. If you have given in the past, please give again. If you’ve never made a contribution, please make one now. No gift is too small; every dollar makes a difference! Our administrative costs are nominal, which means your gifts support the scholarships directly on almost a dollar-for-dollar basis. And they make a big difference to the children who receive them, and also to the camps of which the children are a part. Thank you for your consideration. We, and the children, appreciate your generous support. Sincerely, Michael Halperson, Trustee Rick Francis, Trustee Note: an envelope is attached to this newsletter addressed to the GWK Fund for your convenience.

  • Audiouk Response to Ofcom Call for Evidence Relating to BBC Sounds
    AudioUK response to Ofcom call for evidence relating to BBC Sounds About the independent UK audio production sector 1. AudioUK is the trade body for the audio-led production sector in the UK. AudioUK has four core priorities: Business; Representation; Community; and Excellence – and has over 100 member companies based across the whole of the UK. AudioUK runs the Audiotrain skills programme. It also runs the Audio Production Awards, an annual celebration of the craft skills of audio production. AudioUK, along with Radiocentre, oversees the administration of the Audio Content Fund which distributes a grant from the UK government to fund public service content on commercial and community radio. As a member of the DCMS Broadcasting, Film and Production Working Group, AudioUK has produced guidelines for safe working in audio production during the coronavirus pandemic. 2. Outside of in-house radio and publishing production, audio production is carried out by a mixture of companies and self-employed individuals. In terms of companies we estimate there are between 180-200 SMEs spread around the UK. Traditionally audio production companies worked almost exclusively for the BBC, but activity has broadened out to podcasting, audiobooks and productions for commercial radio. The latter has been encouraged by the Audio Content Fund, which has created numerous new partnerships between indie audio production companies and commercial radio stations1. 3. We continue to support the existence of an independent and well-funded BBC, providing public service content to the Licence Fee Payer, nevertheless there is a real opportunity for the UK audio production sector to build its international reputation as a maker of first-class audio content, attracting more investment from partners such as podcast platforms, brands and national and international broadcasters.

    The Renaissance Core Principles Based on the Coalition of Essential Schools Ten Common Principles Learn to use one's mind well, to think, to problem- solve. Less is more; it’s all about depth and mastery rather than coverage of material. Goals apply to all students. Personalization – teachers respond best to students they know well; students respond best to teachers they know well. Student-as-worker, teacher-as-coach – students learn how to learn. Demonstration of mastery – real life ways to show what students know and are able to do. A tone of safety, kindness, high expectations and trust. Commitment to the entire school – teachers are gen- eralists first – specialists second. Resources must be dedicated to teaching and learning.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2012
    Jan 12 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 158th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 11 to Jan. 15. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's). The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Dr. Lisa Sanders, author of a "Diagnosis" col- umn for the N.Y. Times and the technical advisor for the television series "House, M.D."; the title of her talk was "Is Holmes Crazy As a Fox, or Just Plain Crazy?", and you will be able to read her paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and featured Donny Zaldin and Hartley Nathan in a Sherlockian "Carnac the Mag- nificent" skit and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) in a Sherlockian tribute to the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) for the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winner (Karen Murdock, author of "Do You Write Like Arthur Conan Doyle?") received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17.
