Mayor’s Ofce Northaven Shelby County Bureaus Join To Help Northaven Residents If you take a drive along Watkins Road in north Shelby County, you’ll come to the Northaven community. If you turn onto Northaven Drive, you’ll see lots of work going on to improve the neighborhood. A new “Welcome” sign greets visitors and residents. It was purchased by Northaven Community Association. Not far from the sign stands a new Shelby County re station that’s set to open soon. Other improvements are being coordinated by the Mayor’s Public Affairs Ofce. Several county agencies, along with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Ofce, have linked their resources. The results are being noticed by Northaven resi- dents at a meeting each month at Northaven Elementary School. The Shelby County Attorney’s Ofce is taking the owners of neglected properties to court. Health department and code enforcement inspectors are knocking on doors and often leaving violations for unsanitary conditions, overgrown weeds and abandoned cars. When darkness falls, Sheriff’s Deputies in both marked squad cars and undercover vehicles patrol the area on the lookout for crime. The partnership has helped reduce reports of home burglaries, vehicle thefts and other crimes. “We’re better when we work together,” said Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell who attends neighborhood meet- ings and monitors the results of the weekly neighborhood inspection tours with residents. “We’ll continue to be a constant presence in the Northaven area.

  • Tommy Dorsey 1 9
    TOMMY DORSEY 1 9 4 6 Prepared by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG CHRONOLOGY PART 1 - CHAPTER 12 Updated November 28, 2017 January 1946 INSIDE ORCHESTRAS – MUSIC “There has been considerable discussion in N. Y. about the reports of a fire at the Vogue Record Laboratories in Detroit, which is claimed to have destroyed masters of Art Mooney's first disks for that company. Apparently the feeling is that the first story was just an "out" for the company to evade promised release dates due to its inability to start production. Fire story, however, is on the level. Beside Mooney's masters, four sides by Charlie Shavers were destroyed. Shavers, trumpeter with Tommy Dorsey's band, had cut four jumpers with a small band.”1 TD – MCA SPAT LOOKS SETTLED “Tommy Dorsey's difficulties with Music Corp. of America, which led the leader several weeks ago to order MCA to stop booking his orchestra,, have been smoothed over. Dorsey and MCA execs had one or two meetings during the past week during which the differences were patched up. This was one dispute between the leader and MCA that was kept almost completely under cover. Its cause is still vague, although it is known that the friction was over money, not over the bookings. At any rate, Dorsey is again being submitted by the agency. He has nothing booked following the current Capitol theatre, N. Y. run and may go straight to the Coast after its completion. Incidentally, the, new contract between RCA Victor and Dorsey has been completed, It's a three-year deal, effective yesterday (Tues.) and replacing an old deal that still had more than a year to run.

This was the essence of arguments that Library managers made to the House Appropriations Committee on March 10 in support of preserving the Library’s budget base in fiscal 2007. The committee chairman, Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., said during the Library’s hearing that the committee, in its 2005 authorization of buyouts as a retirement incentive, had “looked to reduce funding for those [186] positions in ’07.” In appearances before the House panel and also the Senate Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee on Michaela McNichol March 1, Librarian of Congress James H.

Learning and playing the violin helped me find my voice as a new way of expressing myself, but it also brought me closer to my Mexican culture. While residing in Tustin, California in 1991, we were one of the few Mexican families in the area. I always felt like something was missing because I had no one to connect with or speak Spanish with. In my musical journey, I began playing mariachi music at a young age and continue to do now. In this creative project, you will find photos of my journey and learn how I became part of multiple mariachi ensembles.
