No. 10847-VCL ) RED CLAY CONSOLIDATED ) SCHOOL DISTRICT, ) ) Defendant. ) OPINION Date Submitted: February 23, 2017 Date Decided: May 24, 2017 Richard H. Morse, AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION OF DELAWARE, Wilmington, Delaware; John W. Shaw, Karen E. Keller, Jeffrey T. Castellano, David M. Fry, Nathan R. Hoeschen, SHAW KELLER LLP. Counsel for Plaintiffs. Barry M. Willoughby, William W. Bowser, Michael P. Stafford, Margaret M. DiBianca, YOUNG CONAWAY STARGATT & TAYLOR, LLP, Wilmington, Delaware. Counsel for Defendant. LASTER, Vice Chancellor. In February 2015, Red Clay Consolidated School District (“Red Clay”) held a special election in which residents were asked to approve an increase in the school-related property taxes paid by owners of non-exempt real estate located within the district (the “Special Election”). Red Clay prevailed in the Special Election, with 6,395 residents voting in favor and 5,515 against. The plaintiffs are residents of Red Clay who did not vote in the Special Election because they were unable to access the polls. They filed suit, asserting that Red Clay violated the provision of the Delaware Constitution which guarantees that “[a]ll elections shall be free and equal.”1 They also contend that Red Clay’s actions violated the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.2 This court previously held that the plaintiffs’ theories stated claims on which relief could be granted.3 This decision only addresses their state law claim.

It may seem trite to even address assembly of the instrument, but its been a common flaw not to develop good habits. I've seen broken mouthpieces, bent rods and necks several times from seasoned professionals who should have known better! This is precisely why its important to develop good habits when putting your instrument together. Prior to putting the mouthpiece on the neck, make certain that the cork is lubricated.

He was known primarily for playing in the bebop, hard bop and post bop styles from the early 1960s and on. His unmistakable and influential tone contributed to new perspectives for modern jazz and bebop In the pantheon of jazz trumpeters, Freddie Hubbard stands as one of the boldest and most inventive artists of the bop, hard-bop and post-bop eras. Although influenced by titans like Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, Hubbard ultimately forged his own unique sound – a careful balance of bravado and subtlety that fueled more than fifty solo recordings and countless collaborations with some of the most prominent jazz artists of his era.

    _.,., n ....... , 7 ,...,,..., Agency Great Lakes National Program Office &EPA Final Report on the Red Clay Project -Summary Report Preface The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was created because of increasing public and governmental concern about the dangers of pollution to the health and welfare of the American people. Noxious air, foul water, and spoiled land are tragic testimony to the deterioration of our natural environment. The Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) of the U.S. EPA was established in Region V, Chicago, to provide specific focus on the water quality concerns of the Great Lakes. The Section 108(a) Demonstration Grant Program of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500) is specific to the Great Lakes drainage basin and thus is administered by the Great Lakes National Program Office. Several sediment erosion-<:ontrol projects within the Great Lakes drainage basin have been funded as a result of Section 108(a). This report describes one such project supported by this office to carry out our responsibility to improve water quality in the Great Lakes. We hope the information and data contained herein will help planners and managers of pollution control agencies to make better decisions in carrying forward their pollution control responsibilities.

  • Top 200 Recordings
    200 Essential Small Group Jazz Recordings 1925-1975 This list comprises two hundred of the most historically important small group jazz recordings. Represented is the work of every major innovator, as well as many of the great stylists. Thousands of recordings are currently available and it is often difficult for the young player to know where start building a collection. This list is by no means an absolute, but combines what I consider to be a complete overview of the masters and their music. Notes on Charlie Parker Recordings: There are hundreds of studio and live recordings of Parker available. The Dial, Savoy and Verve recordings are the primary ones to seek out. Due to the limitations of pre-1950 recording technology (78 r.p.m. discs), sound recordings were no greater than 3 minutes in length. The many "live" recordings of Parker offer the listener an opportunity to hear Bird unhindered by these constraints. 1) Louis Armstrong--Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings (Columbia) 2) Louis Armstrong--Complete RCA/Victor Recordings (RCA) 3) Louis Armstrong--Ella and Louis (Verve) 4) Louis Armstrong--Plays W.C. Handy (Columbia) 5) Bix Beiderbecke--Volume 1 Singin’ the Blues (Columbia) 6) Art Tatum--Piano Starts Here (Columbia) 7) Art Tatum--Classic Early Solos 1934 and 1937 (Decca) 8) Jelly Roll Morton--Birth of the Hot (RCA/Bluebird) 9) Coleman Hawkins--Body and Soul (RCA) 10) Coleman Hawkins--Rainbow Mist (Delmark) 11) Coleman Hawkins--1943-1944 (Classics) 12) Lester Young--“Count Basie” 1936-1938 (Classics) 13) Lester Young--Complete
