Walker created a book entitled, “Trooper”, a compilation of 10 interviews with Patrol retirees. Twenty-five years later, these interviews have become part of our treasured history. The Patrol owes Sgt. Walker (who is now retired and resides in Jefferson City, Missouri) a debt of gratitude for preserving the memories of these pioneers. It is now 2006, and the Patrol is celebrating its 75th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, the Public Information and Education Division is printing a book called “To Serve & Protect”. In this edition, you’ll find the original interviews by Sgt. Walker, and 12 recent interviews by Public Information Specialist III Cheryl D. Cobb, Q/PIED. As Sgt. Walker said in the preface of “Trooper”: For those of you whose long-time friends are featured in these pages, we hope your reading brings back fond memories. For those of you who are meeting these Patrol employees for the first time, we trust the experience is a pleasant one. Sincerely, Captain Christian T. Ricks Q/PIED 4 1980 INTERVIEWS 5 MATILDA “TILLIE” SONNEN With a career that spanned four de- cades and part of a fifth, Tillie Sonnen owns the distinction of having the longest working career of any Highway Patrol em- ployee: 40 years. She was there at the Patrol’s modest beginning and witnessed the growth of the department to a force of over 700 officers. Always a dedicated em- ployee, Tillie exhibits a ready humor and zest for life, undiminished by the passage of time. “If they like you, they’ll hire you perma- nently. If they don’t, you’re gone, no ques- tions asked.” That’s what I was told before taking temporary employment at the Missouri Highway Department Headquarters here in Jefferson City. It was February of 1931, and I was glad to find a job, even if it was only for a few weeks, because the hatch- ery where I’d worked for seven and a half years had closed, leaving me unem- Matilda “Tillie” Sonnen ployed.

  • The Night Vigil of Shen Zhou
    Glossator: Practice and Theory of the Commentary 3 (2010) THE NIGHT VIGIL OF SHEN ZHOU J. H. Prynne On a cold night sleep is very sweet. I woke in the middle of the night, my mind clear and untroubled, and as I was unable to go to sleep again, I put on my clothes and sat facing my flickering lamp. On the table were a few folders of books. I chose a volume at random and began to read, but tiring I put down the book and sat calmly doing nothing [shushou weizuo]. A long rain had newly cleared, and a pale moon was shining through the window. All around was silence. Then after a long time absorbing the fresh brightness, I gradually became aware of sounds. Listening to the rustling of the wind stirring the bamboo gave one the feeling of going bravely and unwaveringly onward. Hearing the harsh snarling of dogs gave feelings of barring out evil, of opposing marauders. Hearing the sound of drums, large and small—the small ones thin, and the far ones clear and deep and uninterrupted—stirred restless thoughts that were lonely and sad. The official drum was very close, from three beats, to four and then five, gradually faster, hastening the dawn. Suddenly in the northeast the sound of a bell, a bell pure and clean through rain-cleared air, and hearing it came thoughts of waiting for the dawn, rising and doing. It was inevitable. My nature is such as to enjoy sitting in the night [yezuo]. So I often spread a book under the lamp going back and forth over it, usually stopping at the second watch.

  • A New World Tragedy $13.95
    ... - Joumey to Nowhere A NEW WORLD TRAGEDY $13.95 Rarely does a book come along which so transcends its apparent subject that the reader is ultimately given something larger, richer, and more revealing than he might initially have imagined. Already published in Eng­ land to overwhelming acclaim (see back of jacket), Shiva Naipaul’s Journey to Nowhere is such a book — a “power­ ful, lucid, and beautifully written book” (The Spectator) that is destined to be one of the most controversial works of 1981. In it, this major writer takes us far beyond the events and surface details surrounding the tragedy of Jones­ town and the People’s Temple —and gives us his remark­ able, unique perspective on the deadly drama of ideas, environments, and unholy alliances that shaped those events both in Guyana and, even more significantly, in America. Journey to Nowhere is, on one level, a “brilliantly edgy safari” (New Statesman) inside the Third World itself—a place of increasing importance in our lives—and on another, a book about America, about the corrupt and corrupting ideologies and chi-chi politics of the past twenty years that enabled the Reverend Jim Jones and the Temple to flourish and grow powerful in California and Guyana. Drawing on interviews —with former members of the Temple, various officials, and such people as Buckmin­ ster Fuller, Huey Newton, Clark Kerr, and others —on documents, and most importantly, on his own strong, clear reactions to what he observed, Naipaul examines the Guyana of Forbes Bumham, the CIA stooge turned Third World socialist leader, whose stated ideals of socialism, racial brotherhood, and cooperative agricul­ tural enterprise coincided so neatly, we learn for the first time, with those of the People’s Temple — ideals that led all too easily to violence and death.

  • Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook
    Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook welcome to the drums chapter of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’s Online Jazz Handbook! When learning jazz, there is no substitute for listening to the classic recordings and understanding the lineage. Please refer often to the albums listed at the end of this chapter for great examples of the material listed below. Don’t forget to practice with a metronome: This is important for drummers at all levels when learning new styles and ideas! Introduction: The drums can be heard in almost every style of music, and just like every instrument, the style helps dictate the specific roll of the instrument. For example, in traditional Afro-Cuban ensembles, the many drummers and percussionists create the main body of music that the bass, guitar, vocals, and other instruments float above. On the opposite side of that, you might hear an orchestra in which the only job of the percussionists is to create interesting sounds and colors on top of a the string section. In jazz, the drummer plays both a crucial part in creating a strong foundation, and helping add color and shape to the music. The first step is creating that strong foundation with the ride cymbal! Getting Started with the Ride Cymbal: Since the 1930’s and the beginning of the be-bop era, the main focal point on a jazz drum kit has been the ride cymbal. The phrasing of the ride cymbal is based around the quarter note, however instead of thinking in eighth notes (like most rock music on the radio today), we want to think in eighth note triplets.

  • Bonnie and Clyde: the Making of a Legend by Karen Blumenthal, 2018, Viking Books for Young Readers
    Discussion and Activity Guide Bonnie and Clyde: The Making of a Legend by Karen Blumenthal, 2018, Viking Books for Young Readers BOOK SYNOPSIS “Karen Blumenthal’s breathtaking true tale of love, crime, and murder traces Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s wild path from dirt-poor Dallas teens to their astonishingly violent end and the complicated legacy that survives them both. This is an impeccably researched, captivating portrait of an infamous couple, the unforgivable choices they made, and their complicated legacy.” (publisher’s description from the book jacket) ABOUT KAREN BLUMENTHAL “Ole Golly told me if I was going to be a writer I better write down everything … so I’m a spy that writes down everything.” —Harriet the Spy, Louise Fitzhugh Like Harriet M. Welsch, the title character in Harriet the Spy, award-winning author Karen Blumenthal is an observer of the world around her. In fact, she credits the reading of Harriet the Spy as a child with providing her the impetus to capture what was happening in the world around her and become a writer herself. Like most authors, Blumenthal was first a reader and an observer. She frequented the public library as a child and devoured books by Louise Fitzhugh and Beverly Cleary. She says as a child she was a “nerdy obnoxious kid with glasses” who became a “nerdy obnoxious kid with contacts” as a teen. She also loved sports and her hometown Dallas sports teams as a kid and, consequently, read books by sports writer, Matt Christopher, who inspired her to want to be a sports writer when she grew up.

  • How to Read a Poem by Julie Patterson
    Share: Tweet 2 Share: Tweet 2 How to Read a Poem by Julie Patterson Quick Links Readers and writers have strong - and disparate - opinions about the "right" way to read a poem. Worse yet, there's wide disagreement among accomplished and highly educated poets, too. There's really only one point we all agree on - poems are meant to be read aloud. Beyond that, it gets dicey, but here are some things to consider. Former poet laureate Billy Collins says, "Obviously, poems come in lines, but pausing at the end of every line will create a choppy effect and interrupt the flow of the poem's sense. Readers should pause only where there is punctuation, just as you would when reading prose, only more slowly." Look at the text of his poem "You, Reader" (at left) as you listen to him read it, and you'll see what he means. Julie Patterson is associate director and writer-in-residence at the Indiana Partnership for Young Writers. Her poems, essays and articles have appeared in literary journals, magazines and newspapers throughout the U.S. She has a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing from Lesley University. Billy Collins reads "You, Reader" You, Reader by Billy Collins Yet poet Georgia Heard says, "...after every single line, my voice is going to stop a little-because in poetry, blank I wonder how you are going to feel space means silence" (For the Good of the Earth and when you find out Sun). that I wrote this instead of you, that it was I who got up early Clearly other poets agree with Heard.

  • Bonnie and Clyde
    It’s been more than 80 years since that early morning of May 23, 1934, when a hail of bullets ripped through their car on a rural road about an hour east of Shreveport, Louisiana, and ended their lives. But just as the lives of other bad guys such as the James brothers and Billy the Kid have been romanticized, so too have been the lives of Bonnie and Clyde. BONNIE What made their story so romantic? Was it their youth and the love they shared? Or the dangerous life they lived? Or that they robbed wealthy banks when so many were so AND poor? Perhaps all of the above. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow grew up in the slums of West Dallas. They met in 1930 when Parker, a waitress, was CLYDE approximately 20 and Barrow, a petty thief who had graduated to stealing cars, was a year older. A l ice W at t s Soon after, Barrow did a two-year stint in the Eastham Prison Farm. He came out of prison a hardened criminal who had already committed one murder, that of the inmate who had sexually abused him. He soon turned to a life of crime, and Parker followed him.
