Our first aim is always to keep the best interests of our membership in mind. The past four years show us a measure of our current state of affairs, and it is imperative that we be alert to the challenges yet to Acome. As I contemplated the theme of the 67th Convention, I took into account the paths that I believe will continue to lead to the success of this Alliance. We have weathered storms and struggles for the past 120 years. We have kept the vision of our founders alive, and built on the foundation they laid. The first of our brothers and sisters worked in legitimate theatre including what was then, in 1893, called “The Great White Way” – Broadway – one of the first streets in the country lit by the white glow of electric light. Today we are over 375 Locals strong in the United States and Canada, and we have in our hands tools due in great part to the ingenuity of our members who, needing particular equipment to advance their crafts, invented them on the spot. We are taking our Alliance into the new world of social media and net- working, reaching out to our members and others to further involve them in OFFICIAL NOTICE the union that is at the heart of their work.

For those members that have the honor of representing their local union as a delegate, one of the first things you will notice as you enter the Con- Tvention Hall will be the broad diversity of crafts that our local unions repre- sent. Although the delegates may come from different crafts and geographic regions they all arrive at the Convention ready to work together to help advance this great union. Most of the delegates are not expected to arrive in Boston until Saturday, July 20th, a number of delegates will have been present for sessions of the General Executive Board meeting which will be held the preceding week. Official registration for the Convention will open on Thursday, July 18th at 9:00 a.m.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

While others were either not in session or were fully remote we tried hard to make the school year as normal as possible. There were, however, some things missing…like athletics for two thirds of the year, dances, and other special events. And I know that a lot of what we had to do to be compliant and still stay in session was not popular with many parents and students. But, we got through it! Are we better for it? Only time will tell! I am not totally sure about how emotionally ready we were for what transpired over the past year. Nor am I totally sure about how we may handle the next year or two. What I am sure about is that after participating in remote learning with all of our students for about six weeks this year, there is no substitution for in-person instruction. Our teachers deserve numerous red apples for their job this year during the remote learning phase we were forced to endure. With all of that behind us, it is time to discuss about what may lie ahead of us.

    275. – Part One

    275. – PART ONE 275. Clifford (1994) Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but if you are anywhere near a television right now I need you to stop whatever it is that you’re doing and go watch “Clifford” on HBO Max. This is another film that has a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes which just leads me to believe that all of the critics who were popular in the nineties didn’t have a single shred of humor in any of their non-existent funny bones. I loved this movie when I was seven, and I love it even more when I’m thirty-three. It’s genius. Martin Short (who at the time was forty-four) plays a ten-year-old hyperactive nightmare child from hell. I mean it, this kid might actually be the devil. He is straight up evil, conniving, manipulative and all-told probably causes no less than ten million dollars-worth of property damage. And, again, the plot is so simple – he just wants to go to Dinosaur World. There are so many comedy films with such complicated plots and motivations for their characters, but the simplistic genius of “Clifford” is just this – all this kid wants on the entire planet is to go to Dinosaur World. That’s it. The movie starts with him and his parents on an plane to Hawaii for a business trip, and Clifford knows that Dinosaur Land is in Los Angeles, therefore he causes so much of a ruckus that the plane has to make an emergency landing.

    MEDAL OF HONOR LEGACY: WAR ON TERROR FREEDOMS FOUNDATION July 8 – 13, 2018 Subject to Change – updated 5/22/18 Course Description Over five days, participants will study the events surrounding the War on Terror and the rise of radical Islam. Each day will be comprised of four hours of lecture and discussion led by top historians and academic scholars. Program participants will also interact with Medal of Honor Recipients who will share oral histories of their experience in these conflicts and whose actions represent the character development virtues disappearing from instruction in our schools. Teachers will visit the 9/11 Museum and Memorial to better understand American values and principles that motivated and inspired those who fought and fight for our country. A master teacher will provide instruction on the use of the Medal of Honor Character Development Program curriculum and digital tools developed by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. Teachers will be required to develop supplementary curriculum guided by American history common core standards. To augment curriculum design, in-person narratives by Medal of Honor Recipients and tours of the Freedoms Foundation Medal of Honor Grove and Archives will serve as primary source materials to be used in the development of participant-designed curriculum. The Medal of Honor archives compiled by and housed on the Freedoms Foundation campus represents the most comprehensive collection that we know. Course Themes More than a chronological examination of dates and events, and in order to provide an in-depth understanding of the historical legacy of the Medal of Honor Recipients, this course will include several over-arching themes, providing a more comprehensive examination of American history: Constitutional democracy as inspiration for the military Value-based character development in contemporary American students across the educational spectrum The importance of the historiography of individuals like Medal of Honor Recipients and other veterans in examining major events in U.S.
