New band director hired

BY JEFF JONES AND KATHRYN BASSETT jjones@kpcmedia.com kbassett@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Calling it “the hardest decision of my career,” marching band director James Graham is leaving Eastside High School to become DeKalb Middle School’s band director.

In six years, Graham quickly helped build Eastside’s marching band and instrumental music programs into highly-respected groups.

In November, under Graham’s direction, the Eastside Marching Blazer Pride band made its first-ever appearance at the Indiana State School Music Association state finals. Three times in the previous four years, the Blazers advanced to the semi-state level,

ties are planned throughout the day, including a coloring contest for ages 9 and under. Cartoonist Lee Sauer will create caricatures beginning at 11 a.m. A hot dog-eating contest, for children ages 10 and up, begins at noon.

The Indiana Wild animal show begins at 1 p.m., and Creative Comedy will offer balloons and face painting at 1 p.m.

The afternoon will be busy, with prizes for the crazy, funny photo contest, a pool tournament

TICKLISH TARANTULA

Graham leaves Eastside band post for DeKalb one step short of the state finals.

“I love this band and the kids who helped us build this program,” Graham said. “We have spent six years building a program that the kids and the community can be proud of.” Graham participated in the process to pick his replacement.

That individual is Damon Newell, who brings 10 years of marching band directing experience. Monday was Newell’s first day at Eastside. ➤ Director, Page 4

Cosmo taught this kid how to laugh

50TH ANNIVERSARY

Photo contributed

Jerome (Jerry) and Carolyn K. (Fogle) Vinson of St. Joe will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary Saturday, Aug. 17. They were married Aug. 17, 1963 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Auburn while Jerry was home on leave from the U.S. Navy. They have three children and their spouses, Jeffery (Dana) Vinson and Curtus (Brenda) Vinson of St. Joe and Lisa (Scott) Carey of Wesley Chapel, Fla., and eight grandchildren. Jerry retired from B.F. Goodrich in 1994 after 30 years of service.

Carolyn retired in 1996 after 20 years of service at Ralph Sechler & Sons. A surprise 50th anniversary celebration took place July 6.

You probably don’t know his name or his face, but if you grew up watching Captain Kangaroo like me, you saw Cosmo Allegretti’s work every morning.

Allegretti, 86, died last month in Phoenix, Ariz.

On Captain Kangaroo, Allegretti was the man behind puppets Bunny Rabbit and Mr. Moose.

For those of you too young JUST to have enjoyed THINKING the show, OUT the silent LOUD Bunny Jeff Jones Rabbit played tricks on the Captain in order to snatch carrots from the Captain’s coat. The Allegretti-voiced Mr. Moose relished cracking knock-knock jokes and dropping Ping-Pong balls on the Captain.

Allegretti also donned a costume as Dancing Bear and provided voices for Grandfather Clock and the Magic Drawing Board.

Originally deemed as “too tough” and scary to appear on the children’s show, Allegretti eventually did make on-screen appearances as Dennis the Apprentice.

You don’t find shows like Captain Kangaroo anymore.

Its popularity — spanning nearly 30 years, from 1955 to 1984 — demonstrates the quality of its message.

Captain Kangaroo — the late Bob Keeshan — read stories and sang songs, and was a gentle, grandfather-type figure to his audience.

Captain Kangaroo — and by extension Allegretti’s characters — left an impact on me. How could you not laugh when Mr. Moose managed to trick the Captain and drop those hundreds of Ping-Pong balls? The mischievous, spectacled Bunny Rabbit was resourceful when it came to sneaking a carrot from the Captain.

AP

The late Cosmo Allegretti, right, in character as Dennis the Apprentice, is shown with Bob Keeshan, as Captain Kangaroo.

Captain Kangaroo was one of several great learning, entertaining shows I watched growing up.

Before Elmo, there was Grover, Cookie Monster, Kermit the Frog and Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street.

On The Electric Company, I watched the adventures of Letterman — who would take the letter from his varsity sweater to foil the Spell

Binder’s evil word-changing efforts. On ZOOM, I discovered a new language — Ubbi Dubbi — and learned as the rugby shirt-wearing kids sang, played games and taught life lessons.

Before all them, however, were Cosmo and the Captain. Thanks to both of you.

In the early 1960s he operated Meyer Foodland in Edgerton, and from Meyer 1965-1980, operated the Meyer Standard Oil Station in Butler, Indiana. He and his wife then operated Meyer Furniture in Butler for 15 years until their retirement in 1994.

THE Butler Bulletin

TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2013

Director from Page 1 “He just has a dynamite personality,” Eastside principal Larry Yoder said of Newell, a Kansas native.

What impressed Yoder and Graham about Newell was his recruitment and retention efforts. “He took a program with about 11 students to nearly 70 in about three or four years,” Yoder said.

Newell’s wife is originally from Ohio, and she was recently named

band director at a nearby high school in northwest Ohio, Yoder explained.

At DeKalb, Graham replaces Clayton Henady, who resigned to take a position outside the district.

“Jim comes to us with 12 years experience and an outstanding track record,” DeKalb Middle School principal Kimberly Fifer said in a memo to the DeKalb Central school board.

Banquet from Page 1 Reservations are $12 per person, and must be made by or postmarked

by Friday. Checks with the number of people attending may be sent to DeKalb County Indiana

The sister-and-brother team of Lindsey and Nathan Halliburton tickle the ivories at a piano during the “Pianos on the Square” exhibit in Butler. Five pianos have been decorated and placed around Butler, as well as various communities in DeKalb County as part of the Auburn Arts Commission’s event.
