Country Music News

Country Music News was a Canadian monthly periodical published in Ottawa by Larry Delaney and Joanne Delaney. It calls itself "The Voice Of Country Music in Canada".

Overview 
Country Music News was first published on 1 April 1980. The magazine, published monthly, was started with the name Capital Country News which was changed to Country Music News in 1982. Its mission was to provide Canadian country music artists, songwriters, and the industry with accurate and meaningful print media exposure in Canada and around the world. It was the only national print media serving Canadian country music artists and fans of the genre.

Country Music News established a string of reporters from across Canada, contributing monthly reports on the country music happenings in all parts of Canada. These regular columns were supported by a monthly Nashville country music report as well as in-depth CD reviews, feature articles, industry news, songwriter features, and a "Top 100 Cancountry Hit Chart". Print coverage was supported by dozens of exclusive photos of Canadian country music stars.

After publishing a total of 383 monthly issues Country Music News ceased publication in March 2012.

Publishers
Editor/publisher Larry Delaney is considered an expert on Canadian country music, its performers, and songwriters, and owns one of the most extensive library collections of Canadian recorded country music. Delaney is an eleven-time recipient of the Canadian Country Music Association's prestigious "Country Music Person Of The Year" industry award, was among the inaugural inductees of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame (1989), and was inducted into the CCMA's Hall of Honour in 1996.

Joanne Delaney handles some of the creative and administrative tasks of the periodical, and was inducted along with her husband into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993.

Location and features
Facing the Southern Ocean, Discovery Bay extends approximately  from Cape Northumberland, near Port MacDonnell, South Australia in the northwest, to Cape Bridgewater in the southeast,  west of Portland in western Victoria.   Cape Northumberland is the southernmost point of mainland South Australia. The Glenelg River is the principal inflow and enters the bay near the town of Nelson.

The bay was named by explorer Thomas Mitchell when he came down the river on 20 August 1836.

The South Australian section of the bay's coastline is protected by the Lower South East Marine Park while the Victorian section of the coast is protected in the Discovery Bay Coastal Park.  The waters at the eastern end of the bay, adjacent to Cape Bridgewater, are protected by the Discovery Bay Marine National Park.

Talisman of Death

Talisman of Death is a single-player role-playing gamebook written by Jamie Thomson and Mark Smith, illustrated by Bob Harvey and originally published in 1984 by Puffin Books. It was later republished by Wizard Books in 2006. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. It is the 11th in the series in the original Puffin series () and 24th in the modern Wizard series ().

Story
Talisman of Death is a fantasy adventure scenario in which the player must prevent the minions of the dark lord from using the Talisman of Death against the world of the Orb.

The player is given a mission to protect the world of Orb from the "Evil One", by protecting the Talisman of Death. Unlike most other Fighting Fantasy books, the player is presented as an ordinary person from Earth, drawn into the world of Orb by the will of the gods. In the book, the player is given the task of protecting the Talisman of Death. The player must find a way of returning to their own world with the Talisman, thus depriving the god Death of the Talisman forever.

Setting
Talisman of Death is the only Fighting Fantasy gamebook set in the fantasy world of Orb, a creation of Thomson and Smith for their later series of Way of the Tiger gamebooks. The majority of the story is spent in the city of "Greyguilds-on-the-moor". Characters that appear in Talisman of Death, such as Tyutchev, Cassandra, and Thaum also appear in the Way of the Tiger series. Also, Bob Harvey was the illustrator of the series.

Smith's later Virtual Reality volume The Coils of Hate featured an appearance by Tyutchev the swordsman.

Reception
Chris Mitchell reviewed House of Hell and Talisman of Death for White Dwarf #66, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "The artwork in both books are of very good quality, the price is reasonable. These are two worthy additions to the collection, and I hope to see more of Jamie Thomson's and Mark Smith's work soon."

Three-volley salute

The three-volley salute is a ceremonial act performed at military funerals and sometimes also police funerals. The custom originates from European dynastic wars, in which the fighting ceased so that the dead and wounded could be removed. After this was accomplished, three shots were fired into the air to signal that the battle could resume.

It should not be confused with the 21-gun salute (or 19-gun or 17-gun, etc.) which is fired by a battery of artillery pieces.

United States
In the United States it is part of the drill and ceremony of the Honor Guard. It consists of a rifle party firing blank cartridges into the air three times.

A rifle party usually has an odd number of members, from three to seven. The firearm used is typically a rifle, but at some police funerals, shotguns or handguns are used. The party usually stands so that the muzzles are pointed over the casket. However, if mourners are present near the grave, the party stands some distance away (often recommended at least 50 feet) so as to not deafen the attendees and to minimize the disturbance. If the service is being performed indoors, the firing party stands outside the building, often near the front entrance. On the command of the NCO-in-charge, the party raises their weapons and fires three times in unison. 
 
Modern United States military parties use M1, M14 or M16 rifles.  The use of blank cartridges means these weapon's semi-automatic gas action will not function, requiring manual cycling of the next round between shots. Some parties equip the rifle with a blank-firing adapter, which eliminates this step from the drill after the first shot, though this is seen by some as less traditional. Similarly, the M1 and M14 are generally preferred over the current issue M16 because the appearance of these older rifles is more traditional and the charging handles are more easily operated in a dignified, ceremonial manner.

United Kingdom and Commonwealth
A similar ceremony is used by the armed forces of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Irish Republicans
Irish Republicans also fire a three-volley salute at the funerals of IRA and INLA volunteers.

Swimming at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Men's 1000 metre freestyle

The men's 1000 metre freestyle was an event on the Swimming at the 1900 Summer Olympics schedule in Paris. It was the middle length of the three freestyle events. It was held on 11 August and 12 August 1900. 16 swimmers from 6 nations competed. The event was won by John Arthur Jarvis of Great Britain. Otto Wahle of Austria took silver, while Zoltán Halmay of Hungary earned bronze.

Background

This was the only appearance of the 1000 metre freestyle event at the Olympics. It replaced the 1200 metres from 1896, and was itself replaced in 1904 with yard versions of the 800 and 1500 metre freestyle (880 yard and 1 mile). The 800 metre stayed on the program, while the 1500 would not return until 2020.

John Arthur Jarvis was the dominant long-distance swimmer of the time, and a heavy favourite in this event. He was in the midst of a run of British titles in the 880 yard (1898-1901), mile (1897-1902) and long-distance (1898-1904).

Competition format

The competition used a two-round format, with semifinals and a final. The entrants were divided into four semifinals; each semifinal had 4 swimmers. The fastest swimmer in each semifinal advanced to the final along with the next six fastest times overall. This resulted in a 10-swimmer final.

The races were swum downstream in the Seine.

Richard Reid (cricketer)

Richard Bruce Reid (born 3 December 1958) is a former New Zealand international cricketer, who played nine One Day Internationals between 1988 and 1991. His father, John Reid, played Test cricket for New Zealand from 1949 to 1965.

Life and career
Reid was born in Lower Hutt, Wellington. He attended Scots College, Wellington, where he captained the first XI. He had two moderately successful seasons with the Wellington cricket team before going to Johannesburg, where his parents were living.

Reid taught physical education and mathematics at St John's College in Johannesburg and played one first-class cricket match for Transvaal B. Later he worked for Nike in South Africa. In the mid-1980s, after visiting the New Zealand cricketers who were touring Zimbabwe in October 1984, he decided to return to New Zealand and resume his cricket career.

Reid settled in Auckland in 1985 and played with some success for the Auckland cricket team. He acted as liaison officer with the touring Australian team in 1986. He married Debbie Kittow in April 1989.

In 1990 Reid returned to Wellington to work as a sales representative for Nike New Zealand. Opening the batting in one-day matches for Wellington, he was the highest scorer in the 1990–91 Shell Cup competition, with 348 runs at an average of 69.60 and a scoring rate of 109.77 runs per 100 balls faced. He was included in the New Zealand team for the World Series in Australia that season, and was New Zealand's top-scorer in the second final with 64. A few days later he was the top-scorer on either side with 47 from 44 balls when Wellington won the final of the Shell Cup.

Reid's form fell away after that season and he played no more international cricket. His last season of domestic cricket was 1991–92.

Reid worked as chief executive officer of Nike New Zealand until 2001, when he began a career in cricket and rugby administration.

Swimming at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Men's 4000 metre freestyle

The men's 4000 metre freestyle was an event on the Swimming at the 1900 Summer Olympics schedule in Paris. It was the longest of the three freestyle events. It was held on 15 August and 19 August 1900. 29 swimmers from 7 nations competed. The event was won by John Arthur Jarvis of Great Britain, completing a double with the 1000 metre freestyle. Zoltán Halmay of Hungary took silver, with Louis Martin of France earning bronze.

Jarvis swam using the front crawl; Halmay used the Trudgen stroke.

Background

The 4000 metre freestyle event was held only once, and was the longest Olympic swimming event until the 10 kilometre open water event was introduced in 2008.

John Arthur Jarvis was the dominant long distance swimmer of the time and a heavy favourite in this event. He was in the midst of a run of British titles in the 880 yard (1898-1901), mile (1897-1902) and long-distance (1898-1904).

Competition format

The competition used a two-round format, with semifinals and a final. The entrants were divided into three semifinals; each semifinal had between 9 and 11 swimmers. The fastest swimmer in each semifinal advanced to the final along with the next six fastest times overall. This resulted in a 9-swimmer final.

The races were swum downstream in the Seine.

Whomanfoursays

Whomanfoursays is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Dalbello, and her first concept album.

Album information

Released in 1984 by Capitol Records, the album marked a change in direction in her musical career, away from the soul R&B image of her previous studio albums and toward a more individual and avant-garde sound. Dalbello wrote every track herself, and changed her recording name from Lisa Dal Bello to her last name only. Musician Mick Ronson, who collaborated extensively to the project, produced the album with her; all instruments were played by either or both of them.

The title is a pun on the words "human forces". The original vinyl album cover features in either black or white the name in faux Cyrillic letters; on the CD version, this was replaced with regular uppercase lettering. Dalbello's face is featured on the cover painted in the style of the indigenous people of New Guinea. The sentence "This album was recorded with the Hughmann technique" was placed in the credits, though it was an invented term, meaning that humans were involved.

Three songs from this album were covered by notable artists: "Gonna Get Close to You" by progressive metal band Queensrÿche on Rage for Order (1986), "Wait for an Answer" by Heart on Bad Animals (1987), and "Animal" by German metal band Heavens Gate on Planet E (1996).

Portland Bay

Portland Bay (Dhauwurdwurrung: Kardermudelar / Pathowwererer) is a small bay off the coast of Victoria, Australia. It is about  west of Melbourne. The city of Portland is located on the bay.  The western end of the bay is marked by the headland of Point Danger.

The bay was named after the Duke of Portland, a Secretary of State and later Prime Minister of Great Britain, by Lieutenant James Grant sailing on the Lady Nelson, on 7 December 1800. The town of Portland later took its name from the bay.

Jim Boyd (actor)

James Andrew Boyd (November 11, 1933 – January 2, 2013) was an American actor, born in Philadelphia.

Life and career
Boyd spent four years in the Air Force and studied at the American Academy for Dramatic Arts.

He did voice work (along with Wayland Flowers and Cleavon Little) for puppets on The Surprise Show, a children's program that aired locally in the New York City area during the 1960s. The puppets used on the show, called Aniforms, had been developed by puppeteer Morey Bunin.

In 1971, the Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop) contacted Boyd because it wanted to use Aniforms in a television show that became known as The Electric Company. During the first season, Boyd's voice was used extensively, especially for the character J. Arthur Crank, who was just an angry voice on the telephone at the time. Boyd was unseen until season two, when he became a visibly regular cast member, appearing on-camera until the show stopped production in 1977. Other characters he played included Andy, Wolfman, Blue Beetle, Paul the Gorilla, Fred Baxter, Steve Awesome, and Lorelei Loverly.

Boyd also appeared in the 1974 TV movie Out to Lunch, a Children's Television Workshop production in which the Muppets and casts of Sesame Street and The Electric Company take over the ABC News when the newsroom staff takes a lunch break. In 1993, Boyd played the role of Howard Turner in the TV series Law & Order. In 2006, he appeared in the TV documentary The Electric Company's Greatest Hits & Bits, talking about his experience on The Electric Company in an interview.

Boyd was the on-camera talent or voiceover talent for a number of industrial videos for a large body of corporate training and communication videos during the 1990s.

Death
Boyd died on January 2, 2013, following a short illness.

Chris Makepeace

Christopher Makepeace (born April 22, 1964) is a Canadian former actor, known for his starring roles in the coming-of-age film My Bodyguard (1980) and comedy horror Vamp (1986), and supporting roles in the screwball comedy Meatballs (1979) and the dystopian sci-fi film The Last Chase (1981), during his teen and young adult years.

Life and career 
Makepeace was born in Montreal, Quebec, the son of Doreen and Harry Makepeace. His older brother, Tony Makepeace, is a Canadian photographer.

He began his acting career in a 1974 Canadian television special, The Ottawa Valley. His next role was in a 1979 Canadian comedy, Meatballs, in which he starred opposite Bill Murray, portrayed  as a shy, loner teen attendee of a summer camp, who has trouble fitting in. The movie was a hit, grossing more than $43 million at the box office, and Makepeace received good notices for his work in the film. He was then cast in the lead role in the Fox film, My Bodyguard, released in July 1980 to positive reviews, earning $22.5 million domestically. In his review of the film, critic Roger Ebert said that Makepeace's performance resulted in "one of the most engaging teenage characters I've seen in the movies in a long time." Makepeace also starred opposite Lee Majors and Burgess Meredith in the 1981 film The Last Chase. Makepeace's subsequent roles included appearances in made-for-television films and a few more feature films, including Mazes and Monsters with Tom Hanks, The Falcon and the Snowman in 1985 and 1986's Vamp. 

In 1981, Makepeace recorded spoken dialogue for the Kiss album Music from "The Elder" with Producer Bob Ezrin, but it was not used in the final mix; plans to turn the album into a feature film never materialized.

He has not appeared in any films since 2001, moving instead behind the camera as an assistant director.

Angier Buchanan Duke

Angier Buchanan Duke (December 8, 1884 – September 3, 1923) was a trustee of Duke University from 1914–1923, as well as vice president and president of its Alumni Association.

Early life
Duke was born on December 8, 1884, in Durham, North Carolina.  He was the only son of Sarah Pearson (née Angier) Duke (1856–1936) and Benjamin Newton Duke, and an heir to the American Tobacco Company fortune.  He was the brother of Mary Lillian Duke (who married his wife's brother, Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle Jr.), and first cousin to the flamboyant heiress Doris Duke.

Duke attended Durham's Trinity College, the institutional predecessor of Duke University.

Career
After his graduation from Trinity, he went into the family business with his father.  He was a member of the Racquet and Tennis Club and the Calumet Club, as well as the Ardsley and Sleepy Hollow Country Clubs.

Personal life

In 1915, he was married to seventeen year-old Cordelia Drexel Biddle of the Biddle family who were prominent in business, political and cultural affairs in Philadelphia.  By this marriage, which took place at Holy Trinity Church in Philadelphia, "one of the oldest and richest Philadelphia families was united with one of the richest families of the South."  Cordelia was a daughter of bank heir Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle, Sr. Together, Angier and Cordelia were the parents of two children:

 Angier Biddle Duke (1915–1995), the U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, Spain, Denmark, and Morocco. He married four times.
 Anthony Drexel Duke (1918–2014), who became a prominent philanthropist. He married four times.

After separating in December 1918, they divorced in 1921. After their divorce, Cordelia remarried to Thomas Markoe Robertson in 1924.

Following the accidental discharge of his gun in 1905 during a hunting trip, his left arm was amputated below the elbow.  In 1923, he drowned at Indian Harbor Yacht Club on Long Island Sound (near his summer residence in Port Jefferson), when a boat overturned and he was unable to get back into the boat because of his missing hand. After a funeral at the Duke family home in Durham, he was interred in the Duke Mausoleum in Maplewood Cemetery in Durham.

In popular culture
John Davidson portrayed Duke in the 1967 musical film The Happiest Millionaire.

WSDZ

WSDZ (1260 AM) is a radio station licensed to Belleville, Illinois, and serving the Greater St. Louis radio market.  It is owned and operated by Relevant Radio, Inc. WSDZ carries a Catholic talk and teaching radio format supplied by the Relevant Radio network. WSDZ, along with 1120 KMOX, are responsible for activation of the St. Louis area Emergency Alert System.

By day, WSDZ is powered at 20,000 watts.  But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 1260, it reduces power to 5,000 watts.  It uses a directional antenna at all times.  The studios are located on Weber Hill Road in St. Louis.  The transmitter is off Schuleter Germaine Road in Belleville.  Programming is also heard on 99-watt FM translator 95.1 MHz K236CS in St. Louis.

History 

The station signed on in July 1947 as WIBV "Belleville's Voice."  It was a daytimer, broadcasting on 1060 kHz with 250 watts of power.  WIBV was owned by Belleville Broadcasting Co.

WIBV aired various types of music, and would broadcast high school sports into the Metro-East area for many years, until the mid-1990s, when it became a talk radio station.  The call sign switched to WSDZ when it began broadcasting Children's Radio programming as a network affiliate of Radio Disney on May 22, 1998.  At that point, the talk programming moved over to 550 KSD, which became KTRS in early 1997.

On August 13, 2014, Radio Disney announced it would sell nearly all of its owned-and-operated stations including WSDZ.  Radio Disney said it wanted to focus more on the network's programming, co-branded events, and digital outlets.

Disney originally planned to take the stations dark on September 26, 2014. However, Disney changed plans at the last minute, and all stations would remain on the air, continuing to broadcast Radio Disney programming until each were sold.  Radio Disney planned to keep only one of its stations, its outlet at 1110 AM in Los Angeles, now KWVE.

On September 15, the Salem Media Group said it would acquire the last five Radio Disney owned-and-operated stations for sale (including WSDZ) for $2.225 million. WSDZ was acquired through Caron Broadcasting, Inc., for $275,000. The sale of WSDZ was completed on December 18, 2015.

On December 11, 2015, Radio Disney programming went off the air and WSDZ went silent, pending its new format.  On December 22, 2015, WSDZ signed back on the air with a new conservative talk format as "1260 AM The Answer".  Most of the programming came from the co-owned Salem Radio Network.

On October 30, 2017, WSDZ changed from conservative talk (which moved to sister station 1380 KXFN).  It began playing urban gospel music, branded as "Praise 95.1 & 1260".

On November 14, 2019, the station was sold to Immaculate Heart Media, Inc., and became an affiliate of the co-owned Relevant Radio network.  The programming included Catholic talk and teaching shows.
