Sunset Country Club Board Chair- man Gifford Shaw said on Tuesday the main clubhouse, at 1005 Golfcrest Road, isn’t closing because it’s in bad condition or because of a lack of prof- itable community events. He cited costs upward of $100,000 to update the building’s heating and air systems. Due in part to its membership being down, the clubhouse was down to serv- ing three meals per week — a Sunday brunch and a Wednesday and Thurs- day lunch buffet. Shaw emphasized the club’s golf course, 19th hole clubhouse and grill and its swimming pool will all contin- ue to operate.

He said in the last five years, it has been used more by non-members than by club members. Because it still serves a valuable role in the community for those types of functions, he said the club’s leaders would be interested in partnering with anyone who wants to still provide those services. “The sad part is our community needs that facility for such purposes,” Shaw said. “If there were someone else who would be interested in trying to provide that, we would certainly be willing to partner with them and would love to talk with them about how to do that.” The clubhouse will host two wedding SEE SUNSET, PAGE A8 VISIT US ONLINE AT DEATHS, B5 WEATHER, A12 INSIDE Samuel Blackwell Rhonda P.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that both networks will have relatively low coverage on women’s issues and guests on the show will be predominately male, but I do hypothesize that CNN will have a higher yield of women as guests on the show. Burke 2 Introduction: Politics is often associated as a bad word. “Playing Politics” is stigmatized as playing dirty and cheap and in association with being corrupt. In 2018, politics have been so sharply polarized and rhetoric from both sides of the aisle have been divisive to energize their bases.

Smith 2 To my mother, who generated my fascination for all things historical 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Jon Sensbach and Jessica Harland-Jacobs for their patience and edification throughout the entire writing process. I would also like to thank Ida Altman, Jack Davis, and Richmond Brown for holding my feet to the path and making me a better historian. I owe a special debt to Jim Cusack, John Nemmers, and the rest of the staff at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and Special Collections at the University of Florida for introducing me to this topic and allowing me the freedom to haunt their facilities and guide me through so many stages of my research. I would be sorely remiss if I did not thank Steve Noll for his efforts in promoting the University of Florida’s history honors program, Phi Alpha Theta; without which I may never have met Jim Cusick. Most recently I have been humbled by the outpouring of appreciation and friendship from the wonderful people of St. Augustine, Florida, particularly the National Association of Colonial Dames, the ladies of the Women’s Exchange, and my colleagues at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum and the First America Foundation, who have all become cherished advocates of this project.

This study seeks to examine the role of culturally relevant texts and comprehension strategy instruction in the literacy engagement of African American adolescent males. Following Garth-McCullough’s (2002) findings that highlight the positive correlation between African American students’ background knowledge and the comprehension of culturally relevant texts, this study modified Garth-McCullough’s (2002) design and explored nine, 9th grade private, boarding school African American male students’ reading comprehension and engagement with culturally relevant texts.
