Dispatches From The World Of Wood & Wire
by Jed Clark January 1, 202012:48 am January 1, 2020
Canadian Dobro Player Raymond Klassen
I don't remember on exactly what occasion it was that I first met Raymond. One of our first gigs together was about 9 years ago at Silver Dollar City's Bluegrass & BBQ festival in Branson Missouri. I've done a terrible job at staying in touch with him over the last few years, so this is a feeble attempt to reconcile almost a decade's worth of poor communication. Raymond, thanks a ton for taking some time to chat with me and share your story with AcoustiCult. Lets start out by having you tell us who you are, what you do, and where home is.
My name is Raymond Klassen. I am a dobro and acoustic guitar player from Winkler, Manitoba, Canada. I play for a country band called High Valley. They are based out of Nashville, so I divide my time between home in Canada and the Nashville area. The band has a more current country sound, but with a bluegrass twist, which is where I come in, I guess.
JED: Tell us a little bit about your beginnings. Your origin story, so to speak. How did you get into music, and what made you choose this path over others?
I started playing upright bass with my gospel family band when I was seven, and picked up the dobro at eight or nine. My older brother was in a local bluegrass band, and I got to join them now and then, which helped motivate me to keep playing. I learned a lot by just playing along with tapes and CDs, especially the ones featuring Jerry Douglas and Rob Ickes.
JED: So your family was musical? How many siblings did you have? Did they all play?
I'm the youngest of four siblings. I have a sister who occasionally played piano in church, a sister who would sing and play fiddle, and my brother was on upright bass. We still play together from time to time.
I honestly didn't plan on being a professional musician. I worked at a cabinet door factory for seven years after high school, not knowing what I wanted to do career wise. I finally quit with no plans, and about four months later, out of the blue, Curtis from High Valley called and offered me a job, not knowing I was unemployed. We knew each other from some Canadian music festivals as well as mutual friends, and they wanted to add a dobro player, which worked out well for me. I've discovered that whatever I'm doing for work, I NEED to be doing something creative.
JED: I can totally relate to that man. I get too disinterested outside of creative enterprise. What are your favorite 5 albums, and do they influence your work? If so, in what ways?
This is a tough one to answer. I grew up listening and playing mostly bluegrass and older country, but have been listening to a wide variety of other genres recently.
Some of the most influential albums for me growing up were:
So Long So Wrong – Alison Krauss & Union Station
Tony Rice Sings Gordon Lightfoot – Tony Rice
Wind to the West – Blue Highway
Tales from the Acoustic Planet II: The Bluegrass Sessions – Bela Fleck
More recently:
Hopes and Fears – Keane (a British Rock band)
JED: That album has the song "Somewhere Only We Know." I used to work a night-shift job and I listened to this song on loop 100s of times.
Most things John Mayer has done.
Magic – Ben Rector
I'm usually influenced more by emotion and feeling in music than by flashy skills, and I think most of these reflect that.
From left to right Patrick McAvenue (fiddle), Dan Tyminski (mandolin), Raymond, Curtis Rempel (mandolin) Jamie Dailey (guitar), Brad Rempel (guitar) performing at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville TN.
JED: Which part of your music career do you enjoy the most – live performance, recording, writing, etc.?
I've been fortunate to play across Canada and the US, as well as tour Europe and Australia, so performing has been a great opportunity, but my favorite side of music is writing and recording. Recording alongside some great musicians in Nashville has taught me a lot, and I've used that knowledge to improve my own recording. I have done remote recording work for quite a few people from home. I enjoy doing that, but I really enjoy creating my own instrumental music the most. Creativity is the most important part of music for me, so I love that part of it.
JED: Did you tour Europe and Australia with High Valley? That sounds pretty fun!
Yeah, that was a crazy trip. We headed to Europe for about a week, playing in England, Scotland, Germany, Denmark,and the Netherlands. From there we flew to Australia to play a few shows at a festival near Brisbane. We literally circled the globe in under two weeks.
JED: What are three musicians today do you think are underrated or deserve more notoriety for their art?
I haven't been very in the loop recently with bluegrass, and although he is well known, Ron Block is a very tasteful guitarist, and he is one of my favorite writers. Away from bluegrass, I've been really enjoying Gabe Dixon's music, a great singer, pianist, and writer. Cody Fry is also a great singer/songwriter with a unique mix of styles.
JED: Tell us a little bit about your current rig – what does your "rig" consist of? What instrument(s) do you play, pedals, mics, etc.?
I've been playing a great sounding spruce and rosewood dobro by Rayco Resophonics for many years now. On stage I play it through the Fishman Jerry Douglas signature Aura imaging pedal. It's a basic rig. I'm not much of a gear guy.
JED: I've been told there really isn't anything on the market better than that Fishman pedal for DI-ing a dobro. Would you agree?
As of right now, it's the only serious option I know, and a life saver. Without their imaging system, the dobro would just sound like an acoustic guitar plugged in, which is not ideal.
I just got a Klassen spruce and mahogany dreadnought guitar, built by my brother, Calvin. Call me biased, but I really think it's the best sounding (and looking) guitar I've ever played, and it's only the second guitar he's built! I can't wait to record with it.
Raymond at The Grand Ole Opry
JED: I am really interested to see this guitar. Sometime when you're in Nashville hit me up and let's jam so I can see and hear that thing! If you were given an unlimited budget for an album production to record your dream album, what would it look like?
I love strings, movie scores, brass, etc. I would like to make an instrumental album and play acoustic and dobro, but lean heavily on an orchestra to back me up. I also love Celtic music, so incorporating Uillean Pipes, penny whistles, and accordions would be a lot of fun. As far as individual musicians, having Bela Fleck, Stuart Duncan, and Chris Thile on my album would be amazing.
JED: That would be really interesting to listen to. Do you have an idea as to where you'd want to record it? Are there other specific musicians that you'd want to have on it?
I haven't given it that much thought, to be honest. I've done little studio recording. Most of what I've done has been remote sessions.
JED: What is your favorite album or recording that you've made to date?
I recently released a solo EP called Outsider, which, to me, is some of the best work I've done. I think the last song, Fade to Gray, is unique. I played around with electronic drum loops, and acoustic guitar with delay, and sort of tried to cross genres. I like to call it Synthgrass.
JED: What are you currently working on?
I'm also an artist, and do a lot of landscape/wildlife painting. I'm currently trying to find ways to merge my art and music. So far it has been in the form of YouTube videos of painting and traveling experiences with my own music in the background. I would like to develop and refine that idea more.
JED: What does the future look like for you?
At the moment, I'm just taking it one step at a time. I am not sure what my long term plans are, but I'm definitely hoping that my future will involve music and art in some form.

An over view of Political violence and Democratic Stability
In contemporary Nigeria
THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF IJOR/ILAJE
VIOLENCE AND STABILITY
The Remote causes of Ijor/Ilaje Violence
Consequences of Ijor/Ilaje Violence and Stability
SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION 63
Political violence and Democratic stability is an endemic feature of most of the developing political system. This has become the been of African politics where political violence and Democratic stability has become an essential part of the political system since independence (Anifowose 1983:31).
Political violence and Democratic stability has become an essential and important characteristics of the Nigeria scene since the advent of party politics in Nigeria. A lot of steps and measures have being taking by various gotherment to put an end to this malasics, all the no avail. The elite now use it as a tool of to attain political power and a means of negotiation for the positions or the national cake, a behaviour which has brought the level of poverty so high in the Nigeria state.
According to Omosele S.O. (2001:4) in recent time, Nigeria has acquired the possible distinction of a country where government has been reduced to crises management and crises mismanagement. No other identity can be used to describe Nigeria accurately more than crises (Omosele, 2001:4).
The seed of political crises or violence and Democratic stability has started germinating in Nigeria with the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorate on 1914 which was designed for administrative convenience and economic exploration. Nigeria, a country of many nations, from 250 mentioned by the colourialist and even hals that number by superficial observers, to the figure of 374 ethnic groups which was found from an up-dated research (Otite 1990:18). These ethnic groups have been wallowing in series of political violence and Democratic stability.
The peculiar situation of Ijor/Ilaje communities. The violence and stability that erupted on the 19th of September, 1998 witnessed massive destruction of resources in alarming proportion and the relic is still unbearable to the people living within the geopolitical environment to be move recent, the O.P.C. Ijor/(Ajegunle) massacre, the mile twelve saga, Ijor/Urobo, Ife-Modakeke, Ijor/Itsakiri, to mention just a few when one considers the level or extent of these crises, one will be forced to ask if at all we are from the same country. It therefore becomes necessary to investigation. Whether these people have any cultural similarities whether these people have been living together only recently, the cause of the violence and stability therefore deserves a closer examination.
Political violence and Democratic stability is traceable to developing political system.
This is particularly true of political societies including Nigeria where political violence and stability has become an essential part of the political system since independence (Anifowose 1982:31). The Ijor/Ilaje crises which started on the 19th of September 1998 at Akpata a lot tactors lead to the violence and Democratic stability in Ijor/Ilaje ranging from political hegemony, religious factors, scramble for oil villages, boundary adjustment problem tenancy and cultural narcism and ethnic differences.
In an attempt to restore order over this warrisome situation it is therefore incumbent on us to strengthen our research in identifying the cause of the crisis, with a view to avoid it in future.
The Ijor/Ilaje crisis which started Akpata involved physical display of war machineries like, Guns, the use of locally made bombs and other sophisticated war equipments are a big threat to democracy in Nigeria.
Alleged the god of water was unhappy and annoyed because the water was coloured with blood.
Finally when we remember that this people have being co-existing for about a century, we all appreciate the need to finding a means to and the crisis. This is what this research work is all about.
The aims and objective of these study are as follows:
To investigate the remote and immediate cause of Ijor/Ilaje political crisis.
To examine the effect of violence on the political system.
To make recommendation that can help in preventing a future occurrence of the crisis.
1.4 Justification of the study
The study is to justify that the Ijor/Ilaje crisis was perhaps one of the most terrible of political violence that treathing the peaceful co-existence of the country event witnessed in Nigeria outside the cold war of 1969 – 1970. This is because the quality and quantity of lives and property lost was enormous and has greatly undermined national development.
The study is specific and time bound in that it is confined to a particular instance of ethnic political violence and Democratic stability in Nigeria. It is expected to help subsequent research, with a better understanding of the topic in case there is a need to further validate the usefulness of the study in future, moreover, at a time when the punitive topic of tackling ethnic religious crisis by the president Olusegun Obasanjo administration has failed it is imperative that a new approach to resolving political crisis and Democratic stability should be fashioned out. This work is expected to proffer such a new approach.
1.5 Basic Assumptions
That political violence necessarily leads to political instability.
That political violence accounts for lives and properties.
That political violence scares away foreign investors and tourists from the nation. Democratic stability brings about foreign investors.
The research methodology that will be adopted for this study include social survey and content analysis, as such both primary and secondary sources of data collections method will be adopted, because in the cause of this study unconstructed interview and observation method will be used, extensive use will be made of available materials like Journals, newspapers, and relevant textbooks. In addition stake holders in crisis and stability, such as Obas high chiefs, people of good will and chairman of the two local government council in area, and particularly at Akpata where the crisis started and some important personalities will be selectively interviewed orally on there respective localities in order to discover the reason behind the location destruction of human lives and properties in the area. The procedure of interpreting and analysis the data gathered from the field will be qualitatively shown clearly showing the opinion of respondents.
1.7 Scope and Limitations to the study
Violence and Democratic stability in Nigeria with particular reference to Ijor/Ilaje communities in Ondo State, Nigeria.
References were made to political violence and Democratic stability elsewhere in Nigeria. The research covers the Ijor/Ilaje crisis and stability from its inception in 1998 till in present.
1.8 Limitation to the study
A considerable portion of the primary and secondary information available to the researcher had emanated originally from the wearing communities, thus rendering its objectively questionable.
This may hamper the empirical essence of the study. However, this was overcome by cross examing facts and figures verifying such from objective civil society source.
Also this work is constrained by the fact that the subject matter is a security issue, and as such, access to government document was difficult. This was overcome through repeated visits to the communities and discussing with people and evidences on ground.
1.9 Definition of Terms
Political violence: The concept political in this study means. Incidents of riots, clashes, violent demonstrations, hosting, election crisis, arson, assassinations and various acts that disrupt orderliness and peace in a given society (Anifowose 1982:4).
Crisis: The term means a time of great difficulties, danger, civil disorder and unrest in any political system with serious consequences for the citizenry (Anifowose 1982:6).
Ijor/Ilaje: This refers to the two communities that are inhabitants of Ondo and Delta States in Nigeria.
Political system: The term in this study connote organized political institution of a state with elected government that directs the affairs of the state (Agagu, 2001:17).
Political instability: The state of berry not steady or stable which is characterized by civil disorder, confusion unrest, and hawlessness (Agagu).
Political Stability: This refers to organized society that is characterized by peace, new and order and smooth administration (Agagu, Opeit).
Democratic stability: According to Agagu, democracy is not a concern that has simply been imposed on Nigeria from without, although there is certainly a connection between the commitment and the official ideology of the formal colonial power. (Agagu, 2001:3) most pertinently, it will be contended here that the underlying political and social system in Nigeria yields a continuing concern with how interest are represented and benefits distributed. Government of by and for the people was therefore a fundamental principle of the anti-colonial struggle, despite the fact that is a principle which has being so nucia abused since independence by indigenous regimes. Nigerians are compelled to pursue democracy for the reason that are unable to rely on any government or agency of the government in when their particular sub – grou8p of the population is not directly and affectively represented.
Nigeria appears to be a country lacking political stability. Other the or its fourty nine years of its political independence the country has had eight military coups. Military interventions are no longer tolerated. Nonetheless, the dialogue acknowledge the fact that the panacea against the future military interventions is good civilian government and a critical condition for that condition can not be ignored in this regard it is the very bad shape of the economy (Ibid :12).
Democracy is universally popular. This situation tends it to abuse and exploitation by those who are loss democratic in their beliefs and actions (Jega and Waliki:2002:17) Democracy is a fluid form employed by the people from diverse backgrounds and ideological personasions. It promises among several others, popular participation in the process of governance, equality amongs citizens, sovereignty of people promotion and protections of human rights and essentials freedoms, limited government and supremacy of the how (Ibid:17) embodied in the concept of democracy is separation of power between the three arms of government, the executive, legislature and the judiciary.
Pickles argued that: one of the most difficult question to answer satisfactorily is: what is democracy? Not only is there no agreed definition but some definitions are so vague as to be virtually useless and others so specific as to be obviously incomplete (Pickles 1977:9) linguistically the word simply means government by the people to the people. But this heaves a great problems unsolved. No political system at any time democratic or not has provided for all the people even to choose the government much less to excise governmental powers (Ibid:10)
Democracy is a concept that virtually defies definitions, suffice it to say that it will be used as a synonym of what Dahl called "polyarchy" it is not a system of government that fully embodies all democratic ideals, but one that approximately them to a reasonable degree (Liyphart:1977:1).
Anifowose and Enemuo see democracy as a term that is used to describe an idea, process (a series of event leading to charge or as cause of action) or system of government. They posit further that: Democracy entrances and expands or seek to entrench and expand the rights, ability and capacity of people in any community, large and small, from the most complex to the least complicated, to take control of their lives through participating, as fully as possible in discussions and decision on issues and events that affects them and their community (Anifowose and Enemuo 1992:92).
According to Huntington and moore, democracy where the principle leaders of political system are selected by competitive elections in which the bulk of the population have the opportunity to participate (Ibid:193) stability, a system is described as suitable if a large cause giving rise to small effect (Awojobi 1981:8) conversely the system is unstable, if a small cause gives rise to a large effect, stability involves the maintenance of the status qou.
Foreign observers are often particularly concerned about the stability of a new nation as if everything could be achieved by maintaing a governmental status qou from the elites point of view stability is a good thing because it means continuance of the power and pre-requisites foreign investors want stability and will support oppressive government to ensure it. But stability may not be best for the welfare of the ordinary people for the long term development of the country (Feil 1976:195). Especially in Nigeria where the ordinary people are faced with unemployment, poverty and inequality. Nigeria place a strong value on peace but not necessarily on stability. They see this stability of government may mean only self aggrandizement of those in power and a bit of shaking up now and again may well benefit the common people if this can be done through elections, good. If not then other actions must be taken and such action is usually to achieve and maintain stable democratic government in a plural society is a well – established position, with a history reaching back to Aristotle's with a history of reaching back to Aristotle's adage that "a state aims being as fat it can be a society composed of equals and peers" (Highart 1977:11) social homogeneity and political consensus are regarded as pre-requisites for other factor strongly conducive to stable democracy conversely, the deep social division and political differences within plural societies are held responsible for breakdown stability in democracies. It may be difficult it is not all impossible to achieve and maintain stable democratic government in plural system.
According to Liyphart there are some characteristics that can enhance democratic stability which are as follows: system maintenance, civi-order, legitimacy and effectiveness of government in carrying out its responsibility to the citizen. The foremost characteristics of a stable democracy. Are that it has a high probability of remaining democratic and potential civil allowance (Ibid).
The separation of powers doctrine which is also concerned with democratic stability. Particularly with the probability that initially democratic in nature (Ibid:8).

Likert scale has been introduced to survey research in 1930. Scale name comes from Rensis Likert (1903 - 1981), American psychologist, educator and sociologist.
Likert scale is bipolar scale with interval-levels that measure respondent attitudes and opinions. "Bipolar" means that scale has two opposite poles, on each end of the scale one will find opposite opinions and attitudes. "Interval-level" means that points on the scale are ordered and the length between the points is equal (equidistant).
Most popular version of Likert scale is 5-point scale.
Do you agree that mysurveylab online survey tool has a user friendly interface?
5-point Likert scale can have so called central tendency bias. People generally tend to select average points to radical ones (very high or very low). The consequence of this is big number of answers with average (neutral) selections.
Other example of Likert scale is 7-point scale.
Do you agree that mysurveylab allows users to create surveys easily?
7-point Likert scale was introduced to increase accuracy of the measurement, thanks to introduction of two additional answer choices on each pole of the scale.


Each instance has a private, fixed IP address and can also have a public, or floating IP address. Private IP addresses are used for communication between instances, and public addresses are used for communication with networks outside the cloud, including the Internet.
When you launch an instance, it is automatically assigned a private IP address that stays the same until you explicitly terminate the instance. Rebooting an instance has no effect on the private IP address.
Associate the floating IP address with an instance of the project.
Delete a floating IP from the project which automatically deletes that IP's associations.
Use the openstack commands to manage floating IP addresses.
If this list is empty, the cloud administrator must configure a pool of floating IP addresses.
For each floating IP address that is allocated to the current project, the command outputs the floating IP address, the ID for the instance to which the floating IP address is assigned, the associated fixed IP address, and the pool from which the floating IP address was allocated.
You can assign a floating IP address to a project and to an instance.
List all project instances with which a floating IP address could be associated.
Note the server ID to use.
List ports associated with the selected server.
Note the port ID to use.
The IP address is returned to the pool of IP addresses that is available for all projects. If the IP address is still associated with a running instance, it is automatically disassociated from that instance.

Singer Christina Grimmie's autopsy report reveals she was shot twice, once in the head and once in the chest
By Micaela Hood
Singer Christina Grimmie was shot twice, once in her head and once in her chest, an autopsy of the singer revealed.
The report was released by the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office on Friday.
Singer Christina Grimmie's autopsy report revealed she was shot twice.
(David Becker)
"In consideration of the circumstances surrounding the death, and after examination of the body, toxicology analysis, and review of the available medical records, it is in my opinion that the death of Christina Grimmie, a 22-year-old white female witnessed to have been shot by another and subsequently transported to the hospital, is the result of gunshot wounds to the head and chest," the report reads. "The manner of death is homicide."
The report also said her murderer, Kevin Loibl, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head during the violent act which took place during her concert at the Plaza Live in Orlando, Fla., on June 10.

Her brother, Marcus was shoved to the ground shortly before Loibl, a crazed fan, fatally shot "The Voice" alum.
The singer was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead hours later.
Grimmie was buried in Medford, N.J. on June 17.
Her "Voice" coach and mentor Adam Levine said on social media he was "devastated and heartbroken" by her untimely death.

"Christina was a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely. She was taken from us too soon. This is yet another senseless act of extreme violence. I am left stunned and confused how these things can conceivably continue to happen in our world," he wrote.

Located just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Covington and Newport, Kentucky, have long existed in the Queen City's shadow. But after both cities were linked to Cincinnati by bridges in the late 19th century, they developed as urban industrial centers, with tobacco processing plants, breweries and distilleries, and even a large steel mill in Newport. It was for this reason that a number of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe settled in Covington and Newport, establishing their own independent congregations. By the 1920s, over 1,000 Jews lived in these adjacent cities. But these northern Kentucky Jewish communities were always closely tied to the much larger Cincinnati Jewish community, and mid-20th century demographic changes north of the Ohio River eventually led to the demise of the Jewish communities in Covington and Newport.

By the late 19th century, a growing number of Jewish immigrants were settling in Covington and Newport. Most came from Poland and Russia. Some were retail merchants, while others were artisans, namely tailors, cobblers, and wallpaper hangers. In 1897, a group of Newport Jews announced their intention to form a congregation. According to the local newspaper, the purpose of the Orthodox group, which had been meeting for services at the home of H. Roth, was "the acquiring and maintaining of a place of worship for preaching and teaching the Jewish religion." The group, which became known as the United Hebrew Congregation, soon reached 31 members and began to raise money for a synagogue. A Ladies Aid Society was also founded in 1897.
It took the congregation several years to raise the money, but in 1904 they purchased a former church which they remade into a synagogue. That same year, they hired Samuel Levinson as their rabbi, although he was unable to support his family on the small salary. Levinson worked as a cigar maker before later opening his own kosher butcher shop in town. When the congregation dedicated their new house of worship in January of 1905, Newport Mayor August Helmbold and two county judges spoke during the ceremony.
Despite this official support, Jews faced anti-Semitism in Newport at the time. Most Newport Jews settled in the city's west end, where they sometimes faced violent attacks by criminals and anti-Semitic thugs. In 1906, Newport Jews created the Jewish Protection League, which quickly amassed 200 members. Its purpose was to pressure the police to offer protection from hoodlums who targeted Jews. Isaac Hauer, who was running for city alderman at the time, was the president of the group. The Jewish Protection League hired a local non-Jewish attorney to help the city prosecute criminals charged with assaulting Jews. The city attorney at the time welcomed the help. The league's first case involved two men who, motivated by anti-Semitic prejudice, had beaten Samuel Bein and his wife. The two assailants were found guilty. After one attacker wrote a letter of apology, several members of the League signed a petition asking that his three-month jail sentence be reduced. The Jewish Protection League seems to have been short-lived, but reflected the willingness of Jewish immigrants to band together for self-defense in the face of a crisis.
Zionism flourished in Newport. In 1907, there was a local chapter of Poale Zion, the labor Zionist organization. That same year, a group of teenaged boys organized a social club, but after hearing a Zionist speaker, decided to convert it into the Newport Zionist Society. The small group soon grew to 25 members and affiliated with the national Federation of American Zionists. Henry Rosin was the first president and longtime leader of the society. In 1914, a group of women established the Daughters of Zion, but soon dissolved and joined the now co-ed Newport Zionist Society. By this point, the group was no longer a club for teenagers. They would bring in national speakers and raised money for the Jewish National Fund by holding dances and picnics. By 1918, the Newport Zionist Society had over fifty members. The group was also affiliated with the United Hebrew Congregation, using the synagogue as its address and meeting place. The congregation sent representatives to the national Zionist convention in 1919.
The Newport congregation was Orthodox, holding daily prayer services. Women sat in the balcony of the sanctuary, separate from male worshipers. They had a series of rabbis during these early years. Rabbi H. Finkenstein served the congregation in the mid-1920s. He reached out to the larger community, giving public lectures and writing articles for the local newspaper about such topics as evolution and technology. Although the United Hebrew Congregation was Orthodox, Reform rabbis from across the river in Cincinnati occasionally visited. In 1917, Rabbi Jacob Kaplan of a Reform congregation in Cincinnati spoke to the Newport group. The United Hebrew Congregation was not without its disputes. In 1931, an argument over what time services should start and other synagogue policies escalated into a fistfight that resulted in the police being called. For a brief time after World War I, there was a second congregation in Newport called Ohave Sholom (Lovers of Peace), established by more recent immigrants. The small congregation met in a small house on 6th Street, and it dissolved by the mid-1920s.
Newport Jews also established a Hebrew Mutual Aid Society and a Hebrew Emergency Association, which raised money to help local Jews in need. In the early 1910s, a short-lived Young Men's Hebrew Association was founded. They maintained a clubhouse on the third floor of the Knights of Columbus Hall which had pool tables, a gym, a lecture hall, and meeting rooms. The YMHA dissolved around 1915 and merged with the Newport Zionist Society. In 1914, Newport Jews created a Hebrew burial association with hopes of acquiring land for a cemetery. The group never achieved its goal, and eventually disbanded, as most northern Kentucky Jews were buried in neighboring Cincinnati. By 1927, an estimated 600 Jews lived in Newport, which had many of the institutions of a much larger Jewish community.
The Jewish community of Covington was never as developed as the one in Newport. In Covington, organized Jewish life centered around the congregation, Temple Israel, which was established in 1906. In February of 1907, the group held a dedication ceremony for their newly acquired Torah. Rabbi Gotthard Deutsch, a professor at the Reform Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, gave the keynote address during the event. Nevertheless, the congregation was Orthodox, as most of its members were immigrants from Eastern Europe. During its early years, the congregation met in various places, including the Kentucky Post Hall. Starting in 1911, Rabbi Samuel Levinson of Newport's United Hebrew Congregation would periodically lead services for Temple Israel. In 1913, the Covington congregation formed a committee to find a site for a synagogue. In 1914, they officially incorporated, bought a vacant lot, and started a drive to raise $10,000 to build a synagogue.
Based on the ten listed incorporators in 1914, Temple Israel's membership was made up of immigrants who had been in the United States for several decades. While eight of the ten founders were foreign born, mostly from Russia and Poland, their average year of immigration was 1885, meaning most had lived in the U.S. for three decades by the time they incorporated Temple Israel. The founders were generally middle-aged, with an average age of 39. Most, 80%, were merchants, with the majority owning clothing stores. Although most of them owned businesses, two-thirds of the founders rented their homes, showing that they were not yet firmly established economically.
Not surprisingly, it took the small congregation a few years to raise the money to construct a permanent home. The Ladies Auxiliary held a fundraising dance at the Odd Fellows Hall which brought in $300. The group later held a series of entertainment programs that raised money for the building fund. One challenge was that the congregation did not have deep pocketed members; the two largest contributors each gave only $100. Most of the 95 contributors to the building fund gave between $5 and $25. Several of the donors were non-Jews, including the mayor, other government officials, and local businesses. By the summer of 1915, the congregation broke ground on the synagogue, which was completed by the end of the year. The dedication ceremony, which featured Covington Mayor George Phillips, drew 500 people. Reform Rabbi Jacob Kaplan of Cincinnati gave the opening prayer during the dedication. The new synagogue had a small classroom on the first floor and a sanctuary on the second. Although the congregation sometimes brought in Reform rabbis and Hebrew Union College students from Cincinnati, it was Orthodox, with a curtain separating the men and women's sections in the sanctuary.
Temple Israel was relatively small, with only 31 members in 1919 and an annual income of $500. The congregation had a Sunday school with 20 students in 1919, and a smaller cheder that prepared boys for their bar mitzvah on weekday afternoons. In 1918, a temple Sisterhood was founded. Around 1923, Rabbi Samuel Levinson left the United Hebrew Congregation in Newport to become Temple Israel's full-time rabbi. After Levinson left in 1929, he was replaced by Rabbi Jacob Jacobs.
In 1937, the congregation was shocked to learn that the government was planning to condemn the entire block where their synagogue was located through eminent domain in order to build a new courthouse and post office. The government took possession of the synagogue in the summer of 1937 and boarded it up. Some members were upset about not being able to use the building for the High Holidays and decided to break in and hold services there anyway. They were arrested and charged with contempt of court, but got the charges dropped when they noted to the judge that they had not yet received any payment from the government for the building. While the congregation was homeless, they met in the Odd Fellows Temple.
In 1939, they built a new, modest synagogue at 1040 Scott Street. The new synagogue had a slightly smaller sanctuary than the old one, though it remained Orthodox in orientation with separate sections for men and women. At the dedication ceremony, an Orthodox rabbi from Cincinnati, Eliezar Silver, was the featured speaker. Temple Israel had fifty members at the time of the new synagogue's dedication. An estimated 350 Jews lived in Covington in 1937.
The members of Temple Israel in 1939 were much more diverse occupationally than they had been when the congregation was first incorporated 25 years earlier. Of the 40 members listed in the Covington City Directory, 25% were skilled artisans, primarily tailors and shoe repairers. Ten percent were professionals. Only 30% owned a retail business, most of which were grocery stores. Only three of the forty members owned a clothing store. The Covington Jewish community was in transition by the late 1930s, and would soon begin to decline.
Temple Israel's second and final synagogue.
The Jewish communities of Newport and Covington had long been linked with the larger community in Cincinnati. In the early 20th century, most Cincinnati Jews lived in the downtown area, just across the river from Covington and Newport. In the mid-20th century, Jews in Cincinnati and their synagogues began to migrate north to the city's suburbs. Many of the Jewish families in northern Kentucky followed suit, especially as the wider proliferation of automobiles and improved bridges made commuting much easier. Jews could maintain their stores and businesses in Newport and Covington, while living amidst the larger Cincinnati Jewish community, which offered far greater social and educational resources. This process was accelerated by the floods of 1936 and 1937, which damaged many homes and businesses of Jews in northern Kentucky. Rather than rebuild, many found it easier to move to Cincinnati. A series of violent clashes between local workers and industry, especially during the Newport Steel Strike of 1921, convinced many Jews to move to Cincinnati. One exception was attorney Morris Weintraub, who became one of Newport's most prominent citizens. The longtime president of the United Hebrew Congregation, Weintraub also served in the Kentucky House of Representatives as a Democrat, and was the Speaker of the House during the 1958 legislative session.
While Temple Israel and the United Hebrew Congregation were only 1.5 miles apart, the two Orthodox congregations remained separate, even as they both started to decline in the 1940s. Both congregations hired European refugees to serve as their rabbis, although none of them remained in northern Kentucky for long. In 1939, Temple Israel hired Rabbi Alfed Seelig, a German refugee, who moved into the small apartment in back of the new synagogue with his wife and son. Rabbi Seelig left in 1942. During the 1940s, the Covington congregation struggled to pay its mortgage and its rabbi, who usually had to find work to supplement his salary. Rabbi Gerson Frankel, who replaced Seelig, worked as a kosher butcher in Cincinnati during the week, while leading Shabbat services for Temple Israel on the weekends. In 1947, they hired their last rabbi, Uscher Babad, a Jewish refugee, to help him get a visa to move to the United States. A year earlier, the United Hebrew Congregation in Newport did the same thing, hiring Austrian Rabbi Albert Kohn. By 1950, the Newport congregation had 85 members, while Temple Israel had shrunk to only 35 members.
Both congregations struggled during the 1950s as the Jewish population of northern Kentucky continued to shrink. Most families with children moved to Cincinnati, while both congregations became more elderly. The Newport Hebrew School, which had been taken over by the Bureau of Jewish Education in Cincinnati, closed by the 1950s since there not enough children to keep it viable. Both congregations struggled to attract a minyan throughout the decade. Temple Israel discontinued weekly Shabbat services for this reason, meeting only for the High Holidays. Soon after, the United Hebrew Congregation did the same. In 1956, the Newport congregation brought in a cantor and student rabbi from New York to lead High Holiday services. In 1960, the congregation's president, Morris Weintraub, announced that they would not be holding High Holiday services that year "not because of finances, but because we cannot secure sufficient Jews to make up a minyan." Weintraub encouraged the few remaining members of the congregation to attend services at Temple Israel in Covington. This marked the conclusion of the active phase of the congregation, which came to an official end when they sold their synagogue to a local church in 1969. Temple Israel did not last much longer. After bringing in Hebrew Union College students to lead Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services in the 1950s, Temple Israel held their last High Holiday services in 1960, after which the congregation became inactive. Their synagogue soon fell into disrepair.
In 1969, a recent transplant to the area, Marshall Goodman, tried to re-form Temple Israel in Covington. The group met for weekly Shabbat services at a local college, bringing in an HUC student rabbi to lead them. They looked into the possibility of using the old synagogue on Scott Street, but part of the ceiling had collapsed and the building needed repairs that were too expensive. This new group, which called itself Temple Israel, tried to sell the old synagogue and use the money to build a new temple in a nicer neighborhood. Abe Wander, who was a longtime leader of the old Temple Israel, had different ideas. He sold the building to a church in 1973 and donated the proceeds to a charity in Israel. Part of the dispute was over ritual. The new congregation was Reform, while Wander wanted Temple Israel to remain Orthodox. After the building was sold, the new group lost its energy and soon disbanded. The few remaining Jews in northern Kentucky joined congregations in Cincinnati.
In recent decades, there has been occasional Jewish activity in the area. In 1981, a small group of Covington Jews built a sukkah and held a holiday event that drew 60 people. Some of these were Hebrew Union College students who lived in Covington and Newport while others were old timers who still lived in northern Kentucky. While once over 1000 Jews lived in Covington and Newport, today only about 300 do. The days of a northern Kentucky Jewish community independent of Cincinnati are long gone. Any future Jewish population in Covington and Newport will exist solely as a small offshoot of the Cincinnati Jewish community.

Imagine Finding Photos of Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, Todd Rundgren While Cleaning your Garage
Rock & Roll Legends: The Lost Negatives of Michael Friedman
Copyright 2017 Michael Friedman Photography
HISTORIC, NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN B&W PHOTOGRAPHS OF ICONIC MUSICIANS JANIS JOPLIN, THE ROLLING STONES, TODD RUNDGREN,
The California Heritage Museum presents Rock & Roll Legends: The Lost Negatives of Michael Friedman.
Between 1969 and 1973 Friedman shot over 1,000 photographs, but before he even printed most of the photos, he packed the negatives away, and then lost track of them, eventually considering them lost. Then, in 2017, after 45 years, the long lost negatives were discovered in Friedman's attic.
Michael Friedman, former Manager and Music Producer, will present these never-before-seen, candid, black and white photos of iconic musicians and performers, including The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, The Band, and others, at the Santa Monica-based California Heritage Museum, from April 14 – July 15, 2018.
During the 1960s and early '70s era, Michael Friedman had the good fortune of working, traveling, and befriending dozens of highly respected and legendary musical artists. While initially working as a publicist, and later as a manager and music producer, he was also an avid photographer. Due to his unique access to dozens of top musicians and performers, his candid photography was able to capture the essence of that historic period in American folk, rock, and pop music.
Now fully restored, they turn out to be a remarkable collection of candid shots of legendary musicians including The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, The Band, Todd Rundgren, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Butterfield, James Cotton, Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, and other musicians.
THE BAND, PAUL BUTTERFIELD, KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, RITA COOLIDGE AND OTHERS, DISCOVERED AFTER 45 YEARS IN STORAGE:
The exhibition is scheduled to open on April 14, 2018 and continue through July 15, 2018. The California Heritage Museum is open Wednesday thru Sunday, 11am – 4pm, and is located at 2612 Main Street in Santa Monica, California, 90405.
The collection is then expected to travel to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
"Looking back, I think of the late 60's and the early 70's as a sweet spot in the history of American music," says Michael Friedman. "There were so many talented young songwriters and musicians during that era, and I was very fortunate as a young man to be working with some of the most enduring and iconic. Photographically, my perspective was one of reportage - I wanted to capture the moment. No one was posing for me, because I was not a hired photographer but rather part of their team and a friend. My hope is that many of the photos will give the viewer a glimpse of the artists as individuals, unselfconscious, relaxed, and just being themselves."

For a third month in a row and for the fourth time this year, circulating coin production in the United States topped 1 billion coins, U.S. Mint data for May shows.
Also revealed were mintages for the Franklin D. Roosevelt $1, the last of this year's four Presidential $1 Coins.
U.S. Mint coining presses struck 1,326,800,000 coins for circulation in May, marking a 31.6% increase from April and a 22.4% increase from May 2013. Last month ranks second busiest for the United States Mint through the last 12 months, standing behind January 2014 when more coins were struck than in any month since 2007.
As an always provided backdrop in our monthly coin production reports, the U.S. Mint does not decide how many coins to make for circulation. It's the Federal Reserve that orders them from the Mint based on usage trends and coinage requests from financial institutions around the country.
Lincoln cents are always the most ordered denomination for trade and commerce even as it costs the U.S. Mint 1.83 cents to produce and distribute each one. The Mint struck 799.2 million pennies in May, which is 60.2% of all the circulating coins manufactured for the month.
Presidential $1 Coins, Native American $1 Coins and Kennedy half-dollars are no longer ordered by Federal Reserve Banks but the U.S. Mint continues to make them in circulating-quality for collectors. In January, the U.S. Mint produced 2014 Native American $1 Coins and 2014 Kennedy halves to the expected amounts needed for the entire year. It continues to strike Presidential $1 Coins to support the four different 2014 designs.
U.S. Mint facilities in Philadelphia and Denver manufacture all the circulating coinage for commerce. In May, the Philadelphia Mint produced 705.68 million coins and the Denver Mint struck 621.12 million coins.
For the January through May period, the Denver Mint produced 2,901,360,000 coins and the Philadelphia Mint struck 2,847,220,000 coins. That lifts the year-to-date total for both plants to 5,748,580,000 coins for a 8.7% increase over the 5,289,130,000 coins minted through the first five months of 2013.
This year's monthly average of nearly 1.15 billion coins places 2014 on an annual coin production pace of almost 13.8 billion coins. That would be the highest total since 2007. A tad over 11.9 billion coins were made in 2013.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential $1 Coin mintages are a bit higher than the previous two dollar coins honoring Herbert Hoover and Calvin Coolidge but lower than the first issue of the year depicting Warren G. Harding. Roosevelt $1 mintages total 8.68 million with splits 3.92 million from Denver and 4.76 million from Philadelphia.
It seems totals are unlikely to change from here. If that is the case, 2014 Presidential dollar mintages end at 35.14 million which is 5% higher than last year. So far, just two of this year's Presidential $1 Coins have been released. Rolls, bags and boxes of Herbert Hoover $1s go on sale next week, June 19, and U.S. Mint products with Franklin D. Roosevelt $1s debut sometime in August.
In comparing totals by coin design from the overall production figures by denomination, there is one difference. Mintages of America the Beautiful Quarters are higher by 308.2 million. These are likely most of the Arches National Park Quarters which just entered circulation on Monday, June 9, 2014.
Coin production figures in this coin news article are based on data aggregated from the U.S. Mint webpage at: http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/?action=coin_production.
We have gotten one Olympic and one Chickasaw so far in change this year. Looks like the Shenandoah D will be the new throwaway for the series. All others are apparently being hoarded or never released yet by the fed.
Still no Utah D in circulation of the statehoods. And none of the territories from 09. Once again either still in the vaults or being picked out for the grandkids whitman folders.
It's not the ATB quarters are being withheld or even hoarded, there just aren't that many of them compared to the total production of clad quarters. Over the entire mintage of the 2010-2013 quarters makes up only 3.7% of the total production from 1965 to present (about 73 billion quarters). That means only about 1 in 27 quarters will be ATB designs and 2013 is almost 2% of that 3.7% total.
ATB designs to date have not even exceeded the first year's mintage of State Quarters. Working as a cashier, I've seen all the designs (though not all the mint varieties), including the 2009 ones. They too had a severe drop in production. Quarters from 2009 to present appear infrequently, but they appear enough to show they are out there.
That makes sense I guess. I see way more nasty looking 65's than I do ATB quarters, pretty remarkable since they are almost 50 years old. When you think about it, the mint had to replace the entire national quarter inventory back then.
As we go to more of a cashless economy, one has to contemplate whether even 100 million will seem staggeringly high for future circulatingcoin mintages.
Where do all of thebillions of pennies go, China for conversion into fake Rolex watches and knockoff Morgan dollar planchets?
Another reason that older dimes and quarters haven't worn out is simply that cupronickel is a lot more durable than coin silver. I was a kid (and budding collector) when silver production ended, and even then the Mint was forecasting that clad coins would have a much longer lifespan. I'm only now starting to see a level of wear, mostly on '65-'70 dates, that would have been common on silver coins after just a couple of decades.

I no longer post to LinkedIn groups or my facebook profiles, as those social media saw fit to take away this functionality (the sort of reason why we moved this content here). Our twitter account at twitter.com/syscoi automatically tweets out each story.
I tend to be very inclusive, adding any systems thinking content I find that seems to have real content (that I can understand).

Got this in trade today. Really like it! I tried it with my VHT Special 6 head and at the moment it is hooked up to my Commander 210. Gives it more bass which I dig compared to the stock ten inch speakers.
It is pretty cool. I thought it might be a good option with my commander 210 to get some more lows. Definitely worked.
Pretty sweet. Still love the look of that Randall, too.
It is really solid. For a solid state amp, it really is pretty great. I know some people are all about the tube tonz, but I own a silverface twin, blackface showman, silverface champ... and the Commander is the one I use 99% of the time. It is the only one I have downstairs at the moment.
i'm a tube snob tbh.. i just love tube amps.

Traditionalist:Top Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Replica Watches
If you think that perfect Rolex replica's innovation means a revolution, you are wrong. But Submariner was modified so that the sum of various details created a new watch. Measured diagonally from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock, the diameter of the watch has increased from 40 mm to 41 mm, or more accurately, from 40.6 mm to 41.36 mm. The crown guard and lugs are thinner, but this increases the lug width by a full millimeter to 21 mm.
Oyster Perpetual Submariner Replica Watches
These seemingly small upgrades have changed the proportions of the entire top replica watch, including the case, bezel, dial and bracelet. This means you are looking for a completely new model. If the new Oyster Perpetual Submariner is placed next to its predecessor, the change will become apparent. The appearance of the new Submariner is more than one millimeter larger than the old version. This is because even the smallest details have been modified many times.
The new internal self-winding movement Calibre 3230 is not so obvious, because like other Rolex replica watches, it is covered by a thin case back and screwed airtight with a special key, and can only be opened by Rolex authorized Produced by a watchmaker. The difference of the 3235 movement is that there is no date on the Submariner dial. It has excellent functional reliability and high energy efficiency, and can resist the influence of magnetic fields. The movement also has an optimized version of the Rolex Parachrom hairspring.
Rolex replica watches uses paramagnetic alloys to make hairsprings internally, making it 10 times more accurate than traditional hairsprings. It also has a special Rolex passing coil to ensure that the rate of all positions remains stable. The outstanding Rolex replica design and patented Paraflex anti-shock system provide support for the oscillator. Due to the higher efficiency of the escapement and barrel design, the Caliber 3230 and 3235 movements have a power reserve of 70 hours.

Shakespeare theater fire a loss for Stratford, theater community

The Shakespeare theater, in Stratford, Conn. burned to the ground early Sunday morning, Jan. 13, 2019. Opened in 1955 as the American Shakespeare Festival Theatre, the building had stood vacant for many years.

STRATFORD — The local and theater community was devastated Sunday after the historic Shakespeare theater was ravaged in a fire.
The blaze started around 1 a.m. Sunday and completely destroyed the building where actors and actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, James Earl Jones and Christopher Plummer performed.
The theater opened in 1955, but has been shuttered since the 1980s. Only the property's grounds have been used for productions by the Shakespeare Academy at Stratford in recent years.
"Today is a tragic day for our whole community," the academy said on Facebook. "We know we are in good company though, the original Globe burned down and today we still love and perform Shakespeare's works and will continue to do so. The Shakespeare Theater is all but gone, but the history and magic of the place is not."
The organization's buildings and resources survived the flames, so the academy said it plans to return this summer for outdoor performances of " Coriolanus," "A Winter's Tale" and "Twelfth Night."
"We will continue to keep the stories of Shakespeare alive in Stratford," the post said. "We will not let this beautiful place be forgotten."
At the scene Sunday, dozens of residents lined up behind fire scene tape to take pictures and share memories.
1950: Lawrence Langner comes up with idea for theater and eventually enlists the help of Lincoln Kirstein and philanthropist Joseph Verner Reed to build it.
1955: The theater opens.
1960s and 1970s: High school students travel from around the country to see productions at the theater.
1973: Joseph Verner Reed dies and money for the theater dies with him.
1982: The final season of shows is held in the building. Shows included "King Henry IV," "Twelfth Night" and "Hamlet" with Christopher Walken and Anne Baxter.
1983: State takes over the theater.
2005: Ownership of the theater passes to Stratford.
2014: A committee picks the Elm Street Theatre Company to restore the theater.
2015: Town Council picks the Stratford Stage Group to build a luxury hotel on the property and get the theater running again.
2016: Town ends negotiations with the Stratford Stage Group.
April 2017: The town plans to hire an architect to prevent building from falling into disrepair.
2017: Contractors bid to mothball the building.
Dave Manko said he walked his dog by the property every day, and recalled seeing famous actors on or near the grounds as a child.
"When I was a kid I lived down the street and I saw Margaret Hamilton, who was the wicked witch of the west from the Wizard of Oz," Manko said. "She'd ride her bike by and I'd say 'Yikes, there she goes!'"
Rosemary Owens marveled about productions she saw in the theater while a student at Stratford High School.
"It was acoustically perfect anywhere you sat in the theater - so my Elizabethan English teacher told me," Owens said.
Manko and Owens hoped the property could be returned to some sort of cultural use.
"It should be some place where people can gather, an amphitheater or for music," Owens said.
Diane Monsam, a Naugatuck resident who grew up in Stratford, visited the property Sunday after a neighbor told her about the fire. She remembered watching "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the theater while growing up.
"Naturally you couldn't understand it because it was Shakespeare, you were too young, but they would give you a pamphlet to explain the whole story," Monsam said.
Connie Guggenheim said she worked at the theater for about 15 years in the 70s and 80s, as did several other members of her family.
She recalled how her two older sisters worked at the theater as dressers, helping actors like Roddy McDowall and Christopher Plummer with their wardrobes.
"And my father worked here as a security guard and he would make sure Katherine Hepburn got to her cottage safely at night," Guggenheim said.
"It was a wonderful facility and it's just so devastating that the state and then the town let it go to rack and ruin," Guggenheim said. "Hopefully they'll preserve it as a park."
Mayor Laura Hoydick said a deed restriction put in place when the state transferred ownership of the property to the town in 2005 mandated the site be used for recreation or entertainment purposes, but redevelopment efforts always stalled for one reason or another.
Over the years, the town has weighed various options to deal with the building, including razing it, restoring it or sealing it up to protect it from the elements.
"The majority of the community has never been on the same page about what to do with the property and the theater," Hoydick said.
The mayor visited the site Sunday and said residents there were crying when lamenting the theater's loss.
"That's how much this structure and what they experienced there meant to them," Hoydick said.
Though the fire was devastating, she said there will now be "a new conversation" about the next step for the site.
"When people came to the site early this morning . . . there was such misery, they were mourning the loss of the building, the loss of the structure, the loss of the memories that incorporated their vision for the future," Hoydick said.
"There were others who were saying this is a new opportunity," the mayor went on. "But they were sad to see the structure and what it meant to so many in Stratford go the way it went."
State Sen. Kevin Kelly said the loss of the theater was tragic not only for Stratford, "but also for our entire state."
"The Shakespeare Theatre was a cultural and artistic icon," Kelly said in a statement. "Its history is something we must never forget. As a Stratford resident and longtime advocate for preserving the landmark, today is particularly heartbreaking. The paramount focus right now must be on public safety and I want to thank all the first responders, fire, police and EMS who are working to ensure the public remains safe."
Stratford natives also shared memories of the theater on social media.
"I actually shed a tear," Julia Wilcoxson said on Facebook. "This is just heartbreaking. The Theater was an absolutely beautiful building. I was lucky enough to see a few plays there as a kid and had the opportunity to tour the building a couple of years ago. Standing on that stage was something."
The fire even drew the attention of Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the hit Broadway musical "Hamilton," who tweeted Sunday morning that the loss of the theater was "heartbreaking."
The theater was the brainchild of Lawrence Langner, co-founder of The Theatre Guild and the Westport Country Playhouse. Langer enlisted help of philanthropist Joseph Verner Reed and Lincoln Kirstein, co-founder of the New York City Ballet, to help build the theater.
The building opened in 1955 with American Shakespeare Festival Theatre's production of "Julius Caesar." During the 1960s and 1970s, high school students across the country visited the theater for shows.
"It was a destination," said Kevin Daly, an assistant professor of theater at Quinnipiac University. "It was a fairly well-known and popular place to go see shows."
The theater was also a source of pride for Connecticut, he said.
"It's not every day that we get to say that Katharine Hepburn performed in such and such a place," Daly said. "We get excited."
But the theater struggled to stay open after funding for the theater died with philanthropist Reed in 1973.
The final full season of shows was held in the building in 1982 with productions including "King Henry IV," "Twelfth Night" and "Hamlet" with Christopher Walken and Anne Baxter.
The state took over the theater in 1983 and other theater companies held shows there in the 1980s. Stratford has owned the building since 2005.
For a time, it appeared the Stratford Stage Group would build a luxury hotel on the property and use the money to fund shows, but Town Council dropped plans with the developer in 2016.
The following year, Town Council voted to hire an architect to keep the building from falling apart.

Gabriel Bebeșelea appointed Principal Conductor of the "George Enescu" Philharmonic
PREDANVOIGT International Arts Management is delighted to announce the appointment of Gabriel Bebeșelea as Principal Conductor of the "George Enescu" Philharmonic Bucharest effective immediately. At 33 years of age, he becomes the youngest Principal Conductor in the history of this prestigious institution that recently celebrated its 150th season.
The appointment is the culmination of many successful appearances with the orchestra over the last years and was announced on Thursday at the Romanian Athenaeum. Speaking of the appointment, Gabriel Bebeșelea said:
"It is an orchestra with which I had a special energy, and together with the orchestra and the choir, whom I thank very much for their trust, we always enjoyed an alchemy that was, of course, very much 'warmed' by the dome of the Athenaeum. I am sure that together we will achieve very beautiful things, as long as we manage to get through this period in which the safety of the musicians and the safety of the audience is the most important thing."
As to the strategy of repertoire, he commented:
"There will be some very special connections between the works, and this will also create a certain diversification of the repertoire. Even if the repertoire of the "George Enescu" Philharmonic is huge, I am interested in approaching several stylistic periods often in the same concert, for a greater range of emotions that we want to convey to the audience."
Andrei Dimitriu, General Manager of the Orchestra, said:
"I think his presence in conducting the orchestra is a big gain."
Bebeșelea, former Principal Conductor of the National Romanian Opera House of Cluj-Napoca and the Romanian National Opera of Iaşi, is also Principal Conductor of the "Transylvania" State Philharmonic Orchestra of Cluj-Napoca, Chief Conductor of the Philharmonic of North Macedonia and Artistic Director of the ensemble Musica Ricercata.
Hailed by the George Enescu Festival Journal as "one of the most gifted conductors born in the last decades in Romania", Gabriel Bebeşelea enjoys a vibrant career, leading internationally acclaimed ensembles including the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia, the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia "Evgeny Svetlanov", the Bochumer Symphoniker, Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava and the Ulster Orchestra.
Upcoming debuts include the Orchestre Philharmonique de Marseille, the Orchestre National de Lille and the Tonkunstler Orchestra.

Then one where misty gardens bloom.
I thought of you today and cried. Then I found these words and cried again. Some memories hurt to have, but i wouldn't have it any other way. The briefest time with you, is enough to carry me through. Thanks for being you.
Can leave us feeling like we've swallowed shards of glass.
That is the last pulse, before a heart breaks.
They are both withered and grey.
The rooms here, and there, are silent and the halls are barren.
The paint on the fence has faded and all but chipped away.
The moons have passed and so have many faces.
With each waning phase their bodies have weakened.
But something grows, so slow and steady it's hard to notice.
The saddest folk tale ever told.
It's cold here, but it heightens her senses. The rustle of the wind in the fallen leaves and the crash of waves on a distant shore tell her she's at home. But this dream is a lie. There is a huntsman on her tail. His mark is untraceable. But to her it's undeniable. He is here. Silent, patient and resolved, her would-be captor knows her as his own reflection. She is aware of intentions, but also of his hesitation. So, in spite of being in his sights, she paces on. Steady, her gaze remains ahead. And though the ranks of cypress trees pass one by one, for what seems to be eternity, the search for her moon moves her on.
I have to believe there are several realities existing at once, on different planes. Or else, this one is cruel.
For ours were not aligned.
The verge of a revolver or revolution, who knows.
There are many moons, but this one is mine.
I'm filled with such an unfamiliar thing. Rage.
Silence. And everything is dead.
Until I was no more.
Is host to cosmos and ghosts.
Riddle the cavity where my soul once lived.
Turn my body into a canyon.
And as this scene is comes to a close.
Is clearly laid out on a horizon.
*Is the comfort I've learned to be.
These words are cerebral and devoid of the emotion they represent. Their honesty paints reality. These words are for you.
You're the winter, that cools my endless summer.
You're the frost that chills my burning embers.
You're the stillness that calms my restless soul.
You're the anchor that stops my wandering heart.
You're the moon that lights my starless night.
You're the space I need to fly.
You're the cosmic wonder for whom I fell.
You're forever, and ever as well.
By the scars I've left.
With the very tangible happiness just beyond my reach.
And as my fingers yearn, outstretched and writhing, my mind wonders why bother, let go.
Happiness, though it may be real, was never meant for me.
The sad and silvery ghost of empty promises.
There is no "us" anymore.
I am but a ghostly soul trapped in a functioning cage.
You have so much potential to fulfill!
Oh well then, we would have to run to keep up.
That's why, loves, I must make my adieu.
I'm sparing you from me.
And that's the only gift I have worth giving.
Though it's nothing at all compared to what you deserve.
I'm sorry for suffering you with "us".
I wanted to be amongst your stars.
My fate burns out much faster than yours.
Of the "us" that was so very unjust.
I wish I could stop all the time around me.
So I could have time.
Which makes it all more complicated.
Please know I hear your offers for help.
Helping me is just not something that will actually help me.
And I want to stop.
I'm stuck. Trying not to dispair.
It's bitter cold, inside this whole affair.
Frozen words, the only repair.
But I'm swallowed in fear.
Inside out, not one tear.
So close, yet so far, from my soughten cheer.
I'm at the precipice of where I've landed.
And nothing is ok, from where I'm standing.
For the girl within, (the original sin).
I've woken up haunted by the ghosts of my own demons.
An ominous presence lurks just outside the edges of my peripheral vision.
The impending chaos hovers over my head like an untapped thunder cloud.
The fragile calm inside my head is eerily similar to an abandoned hospital.
Threatening to burst forth like a jack-in-the-box.
There's no direction, no forks left in this road.
My next step will take me right off the edge of this cliff.
I can't see the bottom, but somehow know that once I reach it, I'll survive.
The forces holding me back are the vacuum of a vortex.
pulling me back to the past.
That endless pulse of a lifeless cycle.
Paralyzed in my current existence.
is waging it's war on her fleshy shores.
"It's a trap" she chokes.
and her brain is going numb.
leads to where it all began.
robotically relives her daily deeds.
are left to join the countless sand.
for the damaged and ******.

Cypress River Sand Hills is a map that all orienteers should try because it is a good map to do to help on using contours, seeing as the map is either open or nearly impassable forest.
I will focus on my race and not others and go for a 35 minute warm up. Also if there is a warm-up map, I will go check out features.
I am a high school student. I am on the Larch Hills race team (cross country skiing) and am a cross country runner. Also, I am a member of We district leadership and like reading books.
