Addendum 7 I am most grateful to the 62 club presidents, the 14 Assistant Governors and all of the committee chairs for their help and service this year.

Allendale On behalf of all the Rotarians in District 6290 We Thank you! John and Helen Salan District Governor 2009-2010 Page 3 District 6290 Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 12 Rotary International Montreal Convention Montreal The Rotary International Convention in Montreal was an amazing and inspiring event in so many ways. From around the world, 18,600 Rotarians gathered in that charming city. It was a time of many meetings, speeches, awards, breakout sessions, luncheons, renewal of friendships and sharing the ideals of Rotary. The House of Friendship offered the opportunity to meet, greet and exchange ideas with fellow Rotarians at the convention’s social hub. Rotary club and District projects were featured along with Rotary Fellowships, Rotary Action Groups, Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation. On a bus ride to one of the Plenary sessions, Helen and I had the privilege to meet someone who made Rotary history. Dr. Silvia Whitlock of Clare- mont California, was the first woman to be president of a Rotary Club. She told us the story of her club being the first one to admit women. What an honor to meet someone who represented a major change in Rotary History. Here are some selected offer- ings from the Plenary sessions: Dr. Silvia Whitlock and DG John The Convention began on Sun- day, June 20th; the first Plenary session opened with words of welcome from International Polio Plus Committee Chair Robert Scott, who was also the Committee Chair for the Con- vention. A moving flag cere- mony, with more than 200 countries and territories repre- sented, followed his message. R.I. President John Kenny gave RI President John Kenny and wife June at the Boy Scouts of America present flags from Rotary opening Plenary Session of the 101st RI Convention the keynote address to set the tone for the week. We were Countries and geographical areas then entertained by Celtic Thunder, a very well known vocal/musical group known for its eclectic style. What a wonderful show. On Monday, the Plenary session featured a moving speech by Fa- ther ‘Rocky’ Evangelista, a Silesian priest from the Philippines. He spoke about the Tuloy Foundation, which he established in the Phil- ippines in 1993. It provides services to orphaned and abandoned street children, serving over 700 children at any given time. A Ro- tarian since 1994, Fr. Rocky even found the time to serve as a club president. He received a lengthy, well-deserved standing ovation. Celtic Thunder Page 4 District 6290 Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 12 Rotary International Convention ~ continued Greg Mortenson, the co-founder of the Central Asia Institute and co-author of the New York Times best seller Three cups of tea, then spoke of his efforts to establish over 130 schools in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. What a moving and inspiring story he told about bringing education to girls in these rural communities. Another amazing and inspiring story. The highlight of Tuesday’s session was an address by Her Maj- esty Queen Noor of Jordan. She is an outspoken voice on issues Greg Mortenson of world peace and justice and plays an active role in promoting international exchange and understand- ing of Arab and Muslim culture and politics. Queen Noor spoke eloquently on the prospects for peace in the 21st century and received a lengthy standing ovation for her very positive and hopeful message. Wednesday’s session began with an accep- tance speech by R.I. President Nominee Kay- lan Banerjee from Gujarat, India. If his speech is any indication, 2011-2012 will be a great year for Rotary. Bob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, followed with his presentation about RI President John Kenny presents Queen Noor of Jordan with the RI award of Honor Boy Scouts and R.I. sharing a mission of leadership. It was an inspiring and thought provoking story of the relationship of R.I. and Scouts through the years; a re- lationship of which many of us were unaware. RI President Nominee Kaylan Banerjee with his wife Bionta The real highlight of this day was the appearance of Dolly Parton. From the backwoods of Tennessee to the back lots of Hollywood to Dollywood, Dolly has become a true living legend. She stirred the overflow crowd with a rous- ing rendition of ‘Working Nine to Five”. She then told us of her humble begin- nings in a poor, very large Tennessee family. Her Daddy was illiterate, but a very wise man who valued education for his children. In his honor, Dolly started the Dollywood Foundation and the Imagination Library. The Imagina- tion Library, dedicated to promoting literacy, has given away 25 million books to children in three countries. Her Daddy was so proud that Dolly “Working Nine to Five” became known as the ‘book lady’. For her humanitarian efforts, R.I. sur- prised her with a Paul Harris Fellowship. She was touched to receive this honor and now has something in common with Mother Theresa; both are Paul Harris Fellows. Page 5 District 6290 Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 12 Rotary International Convention ~ continued The closing session opened with an outstanding vocal performance by the noted English tenor, Russell Watson. The incredibly talented singer engaged us with offerings from classic opera to renditions with audience partici- pation. President Elect Ray Klinginsmith from Kirksville Missouri then gave his inaugural address. This will be an exciting year for Rotary. President John Kenny then gave his farewell speech and was duly given a rousing ovation. We were then treated to a breathtaking performance by Cirque du Soleil. The session and the conven- tion concluded with the audience being led by Russell Watson in singing “Auld Lang Syne.” What a way to end an unforgettable time in beautiful Montreal. DG John Salan Cirque du Soleil performers English Tenor Russell Watson singing “Auld Lang Syne” Next year’s convention will be May 21-25 in New Orleans. It promises to be a spectacular and swinging event. See you there!

Segal Department of Psychology, California State University, Fullerton, CA, USA The twin children who survived the Holocaust and the horrific medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors are sometimes overlooked in the relevant literature. This topic and more were discussed as part of an annual conference hosted by students from Yeshiva University’s Medical Ethics Society in October 2012. A selective summary of this meeting is followed by summaries of recent twin studies concerning genetic influences on twinning, in vitro fertilization versus spontaneous twin pregnancies, gender identity disorder, and royal support for twin registries. Several human interest stories are also worth noting. They include identical twin school principals, twin loss at Sandy Hook Elementary School, timely twin documentaries, new twin and twin-like reunions, and the passing of two prominent twins. ............................................

  • A New Queer Trinity: a Semiotic, Genre Theory, and Auto-Ethnographic Examination of Reeling: the Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival
    A New Queer Trinity: A Semiotic, Genre Theory, and Auto-Ethnographic Examination of Reeling: The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jessica L. Hey, MA, BA Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education and Policy The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: James H. Sanders III, Advisor Shari M. Savage Deborah L. Smith-Shank Copyright by Jessica L. Hey 2017 ABSTRACT This doctoral study concerns itself with the visual representations of The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival (a.k.a. Reeling) with specific attention paid to their marketing campaign materials, as exemplified by the annually created festival POSTER. It is my aim to situate these posters alongside the historical contexts of queer identity, socio- political advocacy, and LGBTQ+ cinema. This analysis will navigate the 36-year period of the festival organization’s existence, providing key, in-depth interrogations into the decades, images, and trends both visual and narrative. My unpacking and theoretical discussions of the festival’s visual culture has been informed by the practices of semiotics and film genre theory. These methods were employed to answer the primary research question: How have the POSTER advertisements, as visual signifiers for The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival, symbolized their organization’s mission, represented queer identities, and engaged with the politically

  • Dollywood: Presenting Regional Culture Through Themed Environments
    DOLLYWOOD: PRESENTING REGIONAL CULTURE THROUGH THEMED ENVIRONMENTS Graham Rutledge Hoppe A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Folklore in the department of American Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Marcie Cohen Ferris William R. Ferris Bernard L. Herman © 2015 Graham Rutledge Hoppe ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Graham Rutledge Hoppe: Dollywood: Presenting Regional Culture Through Themed Environments (Under the direction of Marcie Cohen Ferris) Dolly Parton’s “Tennessee Mountain Home” and her hardscrabble rural upbringing are essential to our idea of her as a celebrity. We think we know Dolly Parton because of what we think we know about those mountains, we also think we know those mountains because of what we think we know about Dolly Parton. Dollywood is an essential southern place, a simultaneously artificial and authentic piece of Americana carved out of the Smokey Mountains by the sheer force of Dolly Parton’s personality. After the nearby National Park, it is the largest draw for tourists in the region. The park allows visitors to experience themes from Parton’s life, and to experience her idealized vision of the Smoky Mountains. To create, and curate, these environments the park leans heavily on tropes of mountain life, incorporating a carefully crafted blend of stereotype, nostalgia, and anachronism to sell a uniquely personal conception of the mountains. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee for their support and guidance during the process of constructing this thesis.
