	Latest Update: 12/29/2008 <---1/8/2008 Issue Quick Navigation 1/9/2008 Issue---> [1/9/2008 SteppersUSA News] More Dues & Congratulations LaMont! By Markie Bee A couple of you had something to say about Monday's article Steppers Dues Payment yesterday (See yesterday's responses) and I have one more to balance things out a bit with a stepper from Milwaukee's viewpoint: "Paying dues. For me it has nothing to do with contest wins or being an instructor. What it means to me is that there is a certain level of respect that should be given to the O G's that were here before I was, or the O G's that was holding things down for years, or for the O G's that have passed the torch to us new jacks. There are some people that catch on to the dance and get an understanding of the concepts faster then others, in fact I was so hungry for the dance that it only took me about 3 months for me to learn all that the instructors in my city had to offer. after that I began to come to Chicago and as a result I had started to obtained some knowledge about the dance the my original instructors did not have. But because of the fact that they gave me my start and made it possible for me to have a chance to dance, I have a certain level of respect of them that can not be taken away. They have paid their dues. To take it a step further, later that year I was in a contest with most my instructors and the O G's from my city, and I won the Contest. Now with that being said, you still could not pay me to disrespect any of them, or not give them credit for what they done for me and and the contributions they made to the dance in Milwaukee. When these individuals come to my classes or events, I acknowledge them and the contributions that they made to the dance. So for me it is not for the individual that pays the dues, but it for those of us who come after them to acknowledge that they have paid their dues." A note of congratulations to LaMont Watts (www.clubsteppin.com). According to Robert Feder, Radio and TV columnist of the Chicago Sun-Times: Only four months after he was hired to push buttons as a lowly board operator, LaMont Watts is the man calling the programming shots at urban news/talk WVON-AM (1690). Melody Spann-Cooper, CEO of owner Midway Broadcasting, has named Watts interim program director of WVON. Watts previously was program director of the City Colleges of Chicago's WKKC-FM (89.3). At WVON, he'll work with editorial manager Keisha Chavers. "The two of them are excited about providing the programming staff with the necessary support so that we can operate at 100 percent," Spann-Cooper told employees. "I am expecting 100 percent cooperation as these two dynamic leaders settle in, and as I seek a permanent and long-term solution for our very special product." If you or anyone you know has any photos, footage or information about or from the Steppers Compete contests in 2003 for the History of Stepping Project, I'd love to add it to what we have. It's Your History! If you have a personal recollection concerning stepping or if you care to help with the History of Stepping Project in any manner, please Send us an email.

	Please copy the message below and send it on to as many steppers as you can please! This is an open message to ALL steppers. Please share it with as many people as possible. As many of you may already know I started a new web site for the benefit of the greater steppers community. It's called The History of Stepping Project. I wish to encourage you to add your knowledge to the timeline. If you know anything about stepping, please share this with the public on this site. We are looking for all information related to stepping from it's beginnings to the present. The information literally includes everything from clubs and bars which held steppers sets and parties to contests and the participants and results, to when different steppers organizations and classes started, who the instructors were and are; Musical bands, and artists, DJ's, radio and television personalities, Movies, videos, and photos… literally everything stepping. Creating an accurate historic timeline will go a long way toward helping the community take the next step in its logical progression as it continues to grow nationwide and will become a valuable resource for all in the future. Your input, your knowledge and your effort have made the dance what it is today. Don't you feel your place (and your organization's) in the timeline is well deserved? I do! Please send an email to your members or readers inviting them to participate. Place a link on your web site also please. All support is appreciated! The effort requires more than just posting the information. The need for fact checkers, people willing to do some research exists in this important ongoing project. Just a few minutes a week can make a difference. Thank You for your time! Markie Bee The History of Stepping Project
