The closure of Maelstrom stirs up lots of fond memories, both for me and for thousands and thousands of Disney fans worldwide. I will never forget the polar bears, the trolls, and especially the deep sea oil rig. Seeing a beloved attraction close is like saying goodbye to an old friend. But while we’re sad to see Maelstrom set sail for the last time, we can simultaneously be excited about the new attraction that’s on the way. Not only can we look forward to one of Disney’s most beloved films being brought to life right before our eyes, we can also thrill at the prospect of the new tricks and technologies that the Imagineers have in store of us. Many new and refurbished attractions, such as Enchanted Tales With Belle, Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid, and the Haunted Mansion have offered up a wondrous assortment of new effects and Animatronic breakthroughs. Best of all, these advancements were not used purely for effect; they were used to bring these classic stories to life in ways that we could never imagine. Change can be difficult, and it’s safe to say that many of us have fond memories of, and prefer, some of the older versions of attractions, or long lost attractions, to their updates or replacements. But change can be exciting too, and that is truly one of the great things about Walt Disney World; the never ending drive to look toward the future, to hold true to Walt Disney’s ideals of innovation and imagination, and to dream of, and try, the impossible. We will always have our memories of attractions past, but we can also look forward to new memories and new magic…magic created in the spirit of Walt Disney himself, who reminded all of us to “keep moving forward.” Enjoy the magic!

With nearly 50 trips, that Letters has included our children, their friends, and Dance Studio group trips, this will be our first trip with our 1st grandson. When we told him where he was going, he was ready to pack and go. The only problem is he will have to wait till Christmas to leave! The Logan Family Lansing, Illinois Frozen Treats of a Different Sort! Wow what a milkshake!! On our recent visit to Walt Disney World, we made sure to stop at one of our favorite restaurants, the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While we all enjoy watching the movies, as we all know it’s really about the food! Here are our daughters Amanda and Ashley enjoying their shakes, which were monstrous (and delicious!). This is one of our favorite places.

  • The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club April 2021
    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ April 2021 By Dave Badertscher After 18 long months without “live” Braves baseball in Atlanta, more than 14,000 masked, socially distanced fans turned out for Opening Night at Truist Park on Friday, April 9. When the gates opened the stadium began filling to 33% capacity, our eyes drawn to “44” etched in center field as “real” fans replaced the cardboard cutouts of 2020. We eagerly anticipated a much needed in-person baseball experience. It was high time for a rematch of the opening series in Philly, which had not gone well for our guys. Charlie Morton vs. Zack Wheeler rebooted. Braves fans were pumped! What would Opening Night at a Braves game be without evoking memories of the franchise’s 50+ years relationship with the city of Atlanta and the South? A moving pregame ceremony paid tribute to the passing of Bill Bartholomay, Phil Niekro, Don Sutton, and Hank Aaron, highlighting their legendary contributions to the team, the game of baseball, and our community. Fan Club member Wayne Coleman (pictured bottom right) played “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes. Timothy Miller sang the “National Anthem.” Jets flew over. Fans stood and cheered. Braves Country at its best. The Tomahawk Times April 2021 Page 2 The Phillies brought an impressive, early 5-1 record to town. The pitching duel between Morton and Wheeler held until Ronald Acuna launched a 456 foot, two-run blast and the Braves scored three in the bottom of the 5th. The red-hot Acuna ending up going 4 for 5 and made a sensational run-saving catch in the 6th.

  • Our Liberty Dollar Raid Update
    Our Liberty Dollar Raid Update Jeff Taylor reason.org November 16, 2007 Updating from the previous post on the topic, the FBI did indeed raid the Liberty Dollar office in Indiana on Wednesday. Documents filed in U.S. District Court in North Carolina indicate that the raid was the culmination of a two-year undercover investigation of Liberty Dollar and its officers. According to an affidavit (PDF) filed by FBI agent Andrew Romagnuolo in support of a federal seizure warrant obtained from a U.S. Magistrate last week, the feds have been investigating Liberty Dollar not just for violating federal bans on circulating alternative currency, but also for mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. As for the mysterious connection to the Western District of North Carolina, the document names William Innes of Asheville as a Regional Currency Officer for Liberty Dollar and an executive committee member of the company. Undercover government agents made Asheville a focus of their investigation as a result, attending area meetings of Liberty Dollar prospective buyers and sellers. The affidavit further details Liberty Dollar's structure and terms it a "multi-level marketing scheme." The FBI claims the company realizes a profit by selling the Liberty Dollars into circulation. The feds also went back to October 2002 for bank records of Liberty Dollar principals and cite large sums of cash moving between accounts said to be controlled by those individuals. The document also mentions that the company continued to circulate Liberty Dollars after it had been warned by the US Mint not to do so.

  • If You Were a Merchant, Would You Accept These Coins - June 01, 2006 Albuquerque Journal, by Andrew Webb
    Private Money: if You Were a Merchant, Would You Accept These Coins - June 01, 2006 Albuquerque Journal, By Andrew Webb Private Money: if You Were a Merchant, Would You Accept These Coins? By: Andrew Webb Staff Reporter The Albuquerque Journal - Sunday, June 11 2006 Remember being told as a kid that the United States' currency is backed by stacks of gleaming gold bricks buried in Fort Knox? That hasn't been true since at least 1971. But a small group of New Mexicans are part of a nationwide network of business owners, consumers and money hobbyists who use an 8-year-old private currency, which they say is backed by guarded precious metal in an Idaho warehouse, called the Liberty Dollar. Some call it funny money— indeed, from time to time, news reports circulate about someone being arrested for passing what police initially think are counterfeit coins. Banks won't take them, and most coin dealers dismiss Liberty Dollars as little more than a multilevel marketing scam. But Liberty Dollar backers say they'll have the last laugh when the plummeting value of the U.S. currency leaves unsuspecting Americans holding money whose value is little more than the paper it's printed on. "The federal Constitution states that no state shall use anything but silver or gold in payment or debt, but look where we are today— it's all just paper," says Michael Lunnon, owner and operator of a Gallup-based franchise of The UPS Store, a copy and mailing shop. Lunnon is one of two New Mexico distributors, or regional currency officers, for the Liberty Dollar.

  • Full Press Release
    IMTA ALUM ELIAS HARGER LIVES IN A FULLER HOUSE IMTA Press Release February 25, 2016 “Fuller House” will be available to stream on Netflix Friday, February 26th “Elias is going to blow people away. That kid is going to be a breakout star. He's really, really funny, doing jokes and rhythms I have never seen out of a little kid before.” – Jeff Franklin, “Fuller House” Writer/Executive Producer For fans of the classic TV sitcom “Full House” that ran from 1987-1995, the wait for the spin-off series is finally over. “Fuller House,” which will stream on Netflix beginning February 26, is not a reboot of the original series, but a chance to catch up with the characters several years later. Child stars of “Full House”—Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweeten and Andrea Barber—are reprising their roles as D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler respectively, but they are now adults with children of their own. One of D.J.’s children is “neurotic 7-year-old Max” who is being played by IMTA alum Elias Harger. “The live taping nights were very exciting because there's a lot of dancing and music,” Harger told People Magazine. “Filming the show was fun because I got to make a lot of friends.” Harger, who came to IMTA with Fogg Management in Denver, was LA14’s Child Actor of the Year and Most Sought Male Talent. He already has several commercials, short films and stage credits on his résumé. “Fuller House” is his first series, but he is even now mindful of being a child actor in Hollywood.

  • Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: a Study of the Walt Disney Company’S Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11
    Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: A Study of The Walt Disney Company's Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 Lindsay Goddard Senior Thesis presented to the faculty of the American Studies Department at the University of California, Davis March 2021 Abstract Since its founding in October 1923, The Walt Disney Company has en- dured as an influential preserver of fantasy, traditional American values, and folklore. As a company created to entertain the masses, its films often provide a sense of escapism as well as feelings of nostalgia. The company preserves these sentiments by \Disneyfying" danger in its media to shield viewers from harsh realities. Disneyfication is also utilized in the company's responses to cultural shocks and tragedies as it must carefully navigate maintaining its family-friendly reputation, utopian ideals, and financial interests. This paper addresses The Walt Disney Company's responses to two attacks on US soil: the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the attacks on September 11, 200l and examines the similarities and differences between the two. By utilizing interviews from Disney employees, animated film shorts, historical accounts, insignia, government documents, and newspaper articles, this paper analyzes the continuity of Disney's methods of dealing with tragedy by controlling the narrative through Disneyfication, employing patriotic rhetoric, and reiterat- ing the original values that form Disney's utopian image. Disney's respon- siveness to changing social and political climates and use of varying mediums in its reactions to harsh realities contributes to the company's enduring rep- utation and presence in American culture. 1 Introduction A young Walt Disney craftily grabbed some shoe polish and cardboard, donned his father's coat, applied black crepe hair to his chin, and went about his day to his fifth-grade class.
