Upon learning her name, the new lodge (whose local Exalted Ruler is a woman) not only knew who Orendorff was, but welcomed and thanked her for all her work to integrate the Elks. Orendorff has subsequently moved to Florida, where she applied to join her local Elks Lodge. “The Rome Elks Lodge was one of a handful of local holdouts that had continued to refuse to admit women.” “With this settlement, the chapter has agreed to fall in line with the Grand Lodge of Elks national policy, which provides for no discrimination on the basis of gender,” said Emily Martin, staff attorney of the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project. At the revote, however, all three women were again denied admission. The Exalted Ruler of the Lodge declared the vote void because it was based on discrimination and ordered a revote. Orendorff and the other two women reapplied in August 2000 and were again rejected by a popular vote while the male applicants were admitted. At the same meeting all male applicants submitted to membership vote were admitted. They too were sponsored by current members and approved by the investigatory committee, but each was rejected in a popular vote of the members of the Rome Lodge. That month, two other women also applied to the Rome Lodge. Having passed the investigatory phase, her candidacy was rejected in a popular vote of the members of the Rome Lodge. In March 1999, after having worked 10 years as a cook at the Rome Lodge, Orendorff applied for membership, sponsored by then-member and husband, Roger Orendorff. The dismissal was on the basis that the Rome Lodge is not governed by the public accommodations law because it is incorporated under the state’s Benevolent Orders law and is therefore exempt from the state’s anti-discrimination requirements. The ACLU and the NYCLU represented Orendorff in a legal challenge to New York State’s Division of Human Rights’ dismissal of her sex discrimination claim. Discrimination on the basis of sex is a violation of the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Elks and its by-laws, which are binding on all local lodges including the Rome Lodge. Under a 1995 amendment to the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Elks, the national Elks organization, women are allowed to join this previously all-male organization. Candidates must then be approved by an investigatory committee and then approved by two-thirds of the members present and voting. To be a member of the Elks, a candidate must be at least 21 years of age, profess a belief in God and be sponsored by a current member. The Elks Lodge is a national network of community based philanthropic associations with a combined membership of more than one million people. “Thanks to brave people like Bonnie Orendorff and history-making organizations like the ACLU and the NYCLU, we have taken another step forward in the battle for equality between women and men,” said Karen DeCrow, cooperating attorney with the NYCLU and the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project. Bonnie Orendorff has agreed to drop her lawsuit on the condition that the Benevolent and Protective Order Elks Lodge No.96 admit women members on the exact basis that they admit men. Contact: NY - The New York Civil Liberties Union and the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union today hailed the settlement of a lawsuit brought by a local woman who was denied admission to an Elks Lodge here solely because of her gender. You see just a single aiming point that’s calibrated precisely to your crossbow’s speed and specifications. When you range the target, the scope automatically places the aiming point where it needs to be for the distance.

Ĭassie Gaines had been so fearful of flying in the Convair that she had preferred to travel in the band's cramped equipment truck instead, but Van Zant convinced her to board the plane on October 20. Rossington, for instance, was not informed until days later by his mother in the hospital that Van Zant had been killed. The survivors, all of whom were seriously injured, were transported to different hospitals for treatment and were not immediately aware of the fatalities. Most of the survivors had been seated toward the back of the plane. Van Zant, guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, Captain McCreary and First Officer William John Gray all died in the crash. Pyle suffered broken ribs but managed to leave the crash site and notify a nearby resident. Some elements of Powell's version of the events, however, have been disputed by both drummer Pyle and Van Zant's widow Judy Van Zant Jenness, who posted the autopsy reports on the band's web site in early 1998, while confirming other aspects of Powell's account. Decades later, he gave an account of the flight's final moments on a VH1 Behind the Music special, stating that Van Zant, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown violently from his seat and died immediately when his head hit a tree as the plane broke apart. Keyboard player Billy Powell's nose was nearly torn off in the crash as he suffered severe facial lacerations and deep lacerations to his right leg. The sound got louder and louder until Rossington was knocked unconscious he awoke some time later on the ground with the plane's door on top of him. Guitarist Gary Rossington recalled hearing what sounded like hundreds of baseball bats hitting the plane's fuselage as it began striking trees. With the gravity of the situation clear, the passengers sat in silence, some praying. At some point the passengers became aware that something was wrong, and drummer Artimus Pyle recalls entering the flight deck and being told by the terrified captain, Walter McCreary, to go back and strap himself in. Several other passengers passed the time by playing cards. Despite their efforts, at approximately 6:52 pm the plane skimmed about 100 yd (90 m) along the top of the tree line before smashing into a large tree and splitting into pieces near Gillsburg, Mississippi.Įarly in the flight, witnesses recall that lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant was lying on the floor with a pillow, having been up most of the previous night and being in need of sleep. As a last resort, they attempted an emergency landing in an open field about 300 yd (270 m) from where the plane eventually went down. Upon realizing that the plane had insufficient fuel, the pilots attempted to navigate to McComb Airport, about 10 mi (16 km) northeast of the eventual crash site in Amite County, Mississippi, but soon realized that the plane would not make it. The plane ran out of fuel near the end of the flight. The following day they boarded a Convair CV-240 airplane to take them to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they were to perform at Louisiana State University. On October 19, 1977, two days after releasing their album Street Survivors, Lynyrd Skynyrd performed at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, South Carolina. The tragedy abruptly halted Lynyrd Skynyrd's career until Van Zant's brother Johnny reformed the band ten years later. Lynyrd Skynyrd lead vocalist and founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, Captain Walter McCreary and First Officer William John Gray all died as a result of the crash, while twenty others survived. Chartered by the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from L & J Company of Addison, Texas, it was flying from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, crashing near its destination. On October 20, 1977, a Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi, United States.

This star-studded sci-fi thriller from 2014 is a fantastic option for Firefly fans who aren’t interested in overlooking the outdated FX in classic sci-fi. And in “Out of Gas,” a wounded Reynolds attempts to keep his beloved ship from falling to pieces, leading to a poignant reflection on how his misadventures began. Bitch Planet is perfect for feminist Firefly fans who want a very different style of comic. Devoted fans (or 'Browncoats') knew it all along, and with this well-packaged DVD set, those who missed the shows original broadcasts can see what they missed. Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) leads his crew of miscreants as they attempt to rob a high-tech train racing through an alien desert. As the 2005 theatrical release of Serenity made clear, Firefly was a science fiction concept that deserved a second chance. In “The Train Job,” the space-faring rogue Capt. On the other hand, the two episodes that the Hollywood is screening, “The Train Job” and “Out of Gas,” are considered indisputable classics.

If you can find the bottled key lime juice, it works great here.How to Make These Key Lime Pie Margaritas: Graham cracker crumbs OR coarse salt, for rimming the glasses.Key lime juice – regular lime juice works great too.Orange liqueur or triple sec – I love Grand Marnier in any margarita recipe.Ingredients You’ll Need for These Key Lime Pie Margaritas: The graham crackers invoke that pie experience, and I am here for it. I love doing a graham cracker crumb rim on the glasses for these, but salt (or sugar) would be just as good. It gives the margaritas some body, some heft, along with creamy sweetness that isn’t too heavy or cloying. The sweetened condensed milk is really what gives this a key lime pie feel. Just throw everything in a shaker and get to shakin’. There’s no simple syrup involved – thanks to sweetened condensed milk. The best part about these margs (aside from the deliciousness) is how quickly they come together. Really, I’m quite surprised it took me this long to come up with this recipe. And margaritas are one of my very favorite cocktails. In fact, it might be in my top 5 desserts. There’s obviously some booze involved, but since when is that a bad thing when we’re celebrating? They’re creamy, sweet, and tangy – just like the beloved pie. If you’re a fan of the classic pie, you’ll flip for these. This year’s marg: Key Lime Pie Margaritas! The bare minimum….but the very best kind. While I haven’t officially celebrated this holiday in years at this point, we always make a point to have margaritas and chips and salsa as a fun happy hour snack. |
