The bad news is that over the course of almost 4 years, one of our most trusted staff members was misappropriating Club funds for personal use. This extensive theft amounted to tens of thousands of dollars over time and was very cleverly covered up. This was the result of the Club leadership, including myself, putting too much trust in one individual who essentially violated that trust from the outset. Rest assured new policies and procedures have been implemented with Kevin Witherell, our Financial Secretary, taking the lead to ensure this will never happen again. The good news is that as of May 25, full restitution has been made and we can now move forward focusing solely on making the Club a great place to be members. Speaking of members, we added quite a few new ones during the Membership Drive on May 12th. At last count, 14 new memberships were added to the Club, many of them families with children. Please join me in welcoming all of our new members! All in all, May was probably the busiest month I have ever experienced since joining almost 5 years ago. Cinco de Mayo, our typically busy Friday nights, the Membership Drive, Mother's Day and Memorial Day weekend were all incredibly successful and well-attended. Most of all, they were FUN! Thank you to all who volunteered for these great events. June is looking to be equally busy as we head into summer. Father's Day may be the only major holiday in June, but there are member-hosted events every weekend, which is great to see members taking full advantage of the Club amenities for their personal gatherings. If you are planning to host an event at the Club with a decent size crowd expected (25 or more) please be sure to let our events manager, Sherri Souza-Adams, know so that we can ensure adequate staff and supplies are on hand for you and your guests. As always, if you see anything that requires repair or maintenance, or just have an idea on some improvements that can be made, please don't hesitate to notify me or any member of the Board. See you at the Club! Jonathan Schoen, Commodore “Kickin” off Memorial Weekend at the Club Girl’s having fun: Lacy, Brynn & Mackenzie Jimmy and Sandra Page – twins on outside Andrew and Kalli Hippert – daughter in the middle Times have changed at the Boat Club Shirts say “Mom is way more fun now that she can drink again.” www.sdmbbsc.org Commodores ~ First and Second Vice Page 4 4 First Vice Commodore Rentals: Snow Skiing club is a new group that will be renting the club. Hopefully we can get them four times a year. Rentals are up! Patrick repaired the jockey box used for beer primarily for outdoor events. I am donating a cash register to be used for outside and inside such as purchasing raffle tickets, games and social functions. The new stage we have patiently been waiting for has arrived! This is a portable stage to replace the one in the hall and for outside events. Sherri Souza-Adams New Stage delivered (left) Stage completed for Memorial Day C. Dale & the Rabbit Hole Band (right) Second Vice Commodore Well, the month of May has been a very fun and profitable one for the Club. Mother’s Day Brunch was a total success, our hats off to chairperson Vickie Kruser and her committee! The Membership Drive event drew in about 300 plus participants and about 14 new members. Wow! What a day!!! Guests and members enjoyed an unforgettable night. The Memorial Day weekend started off with a bang! Starting with Mojo Jackson Friday’s entertainment. It was heartwarming to see so many members, on Saturday, working together to put the new stage together, helping with the grilling of hamburgers and hot dogs and also, helping to decorate the Club. It was a day of members volunteerism at its best. Saturday was a day to remember, so many members and their guests participating in the events of the day, the bar area and patio packed with participants. A very great day at the bar! Sunday was a culmination of hundreds of members enjoying the bands and participating in the horseshoe and corn hole competition. The Galley was opened all day long! Our appreciation to Jeff. Thanks to Kevin Peterson for hosting the first annual and successful Wings Off Competition won by J.R. Reilly. Sunday was our official R and R Day. It was a weekend where so many members pulled together, helping in areas where helped was needed to smoothly and successfully helped make events successful and great fun for everyone. “Cheers to everyone!” Maria Potter -Wood ww w.sdmbbsc.org Financial Secretary ~ Golf Tournament Page 5 5 Kevin Witherell, Financial Secretary.

That means June gloom, and layer up cause it’s sometimes the coldest weather around. As we officially get into the start of summer, we’d like to keep an eye towards the future. Last Labor Day Weekend 2017, the Boat Club celebrated the official end of summer by hosting the Inaugural Mission Bay Masters Golf Tournament. Part of the proceeds benefited Youth Soccer here in the Mission Bay community. It was a festive, highly attended event that was thrown together in about 2 weeks. The after party included a raffle sponsored by Sony Electronics, Live Entertainment with 2 bands, and a Chicken and Rib barbecue that sold out. No food? No worries, our head of the Galley, Jack Porath, had some tasty Prime Rib dinners as menu reinforcements. Thank you Jack, and Chef Jeff for your culinary expertise! So back by popular demand, we are officially announcing the 2 nd Annual Mission Bay Masters Golf Tournament – Sunday September 2 nd , 2018 . What do you need to do? First off, save the date. We will go bigger and better this year, with a shotgun start, hole sponsorships, on course contests with photo galleries and golfing fun you cannot miss. So go find your game at Mission Bay Golf this summer, and come to the club afterwards. Our bartenders are some of the best golf psychologists in the land, and make great hosts for your 19 th hole needs.

  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1940’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1940 (January 3, 1940) The Cookeville City Commission has intentionally allowed the airport’s lease to run out because its location — in a cornfield — did not qualify it for a $150,000 federal grant needed to build a new facility. (January 11, 1940) Members of the Putnam County Court vowed to do better and begin collecting past due property taxes after local attorney Worth Bryant blasted the magistrates. He said some long past due taxes are not uncollectible due to the statute of limitations. The magistrates asked County Judge B. C. Huddleston and County Attorney W. K. Crawford to begin filing suites against landowners whose taxes are overdue. (January 11, 1940) There is no Cookeville Airport this week. The city commission let the lease run out. It was intentional. The city has been leasing a corn field two miles north of Cookeville for an airport, but there’s a move afoot to get a federal grant of up to $150,000 to build a full•fledged air facility with a first class runway. But the corn field doesn’t qualify for the grant, so the city commission decided to let it go while looking for a better site. Cookeville has high hopes for its airport. The city lies under the intersection of east•west and north•south air mail routes. “Planes fly over the city at frequent intervals during the day and night,” says the newspaper.

    1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. CLARK TERRY NEA Jazz Master (1991) Interviewee: Clark Terry (December 14, 1920 – February 21, 2015) Interviewer: William Brower Date: June 15 and 22, 1999 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 150 pp. Transcriber’s note: Evidently there was no recording engineer available for the Clark Terry interview, and the interviewer, William Brower, handled the record process by himself. He had some technical problems. In the interview of June 15, 1999, one of the two channels is shorted out and emits nothing but a buzz, disrupting the entire session; this problem is exacerbated, affecting both channels, in the last two hours of this session. Brower acknowledges these problems at the beginning of the interview that took place one week later, on June 22, 1999. This later session has an excellent stereophonic sound. Terry: Saw a fellow sitting there, standing on a rock. He was driving around the corner, in the middle of the block. Is that close enough? Brower: Okay. We’re going to try this again. This is Bill Brower, talking with Mr. Clark Terry on June 15th for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Project, and we were getting background on the Terry family, and I’m going to ask if you would, to repeat the things that you told me about your parents’ background. For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 2 Terry: My mother’s name was Mary Scott.

  • Jazz Guitarist Jimmy Ponder: a Case Study of Creative Processes and Identity Formation in American Popular Music
    JAZZ GUITARIST JIMMY PONDER: A CASE STUDY OF CREATIVE PROCESSES AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC By Colter Harper BM Duquesne University, 2001 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Department of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA, Ethnomusicology University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Faculty of Arts and Sciences This thesis was presented by Colter Harper It was defended on November 30, 2006 and approved by Akin Euba, PhD, Andrew Mellon Professor of Music Andrew Weintraub, PhD, Associate Professor of Music Thesis Director: Nathan Davis, PhD, Professor of Music ii Copyright © by Colter Harper 2006 iii JAZZ GUITARIST JIMMY PONDER: A CASE STUDY OF CREATIVE PROCESSES AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC Colter Harper, MA University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This study examines musical and social processes in American popular music through the creative life of Pittsburgh born jazz guitarist Jimmy Ponder. I contextualize Ponder’s technical and conceptual approaches with a historical analysis of developments in jazz during the mid-20th century. In examining intersections between jazz and other popular forms of music during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, I aim to identify Ponder’s “musical identity,” which encapsulates the totality of his musical existence. In this study, I focus on relating musical sounds to social contexts and the processes that give these sound meaning. Musical identity, as a tool for examining the creative life of the jazz musician, is comprised of the individual’s approach to their instrument(s), recording, band leading, performance, song interpretation, and improvisation. From these approaches develops a “voice” with which the musician creates meaningful musical experiences (authentic performances) as well as engages certain social realities in public contexts (affective collective listening).
