Elk Grove High School (Elk Grove Village, Illinois)

Elk Grove High School, or EGHS, is a public four-year high school located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Township High School District 214, which also includes Buffalo Grove High School, John Hersey High School, Prospect High School, Rolling Meadows High School, and Wheeling High School. The school services most of Elk Grove Village, as well as small portions of Des Plaines, Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights. Its feeder schools include Grove Junior High School, Holmes Junior High School, and Friendship Junior High School.

History
Elk Grove High School opened in 1966, initially servicing students from the older Elk Grove Village area and the small Des Plaines area served by the school district. The Des Plaines students that were Juniors were allowed to stay at Forest View to graduate there. These Des Plaines students were again moved back to Forest View for a time before the closing of Forest View High School on June 13, 1986, some Des Plaines students from FVHS relocated to EGHS, while the other portion of FVHS' students began attending Prospect High School and Rolling Meadows High School. EGHS jumped in attendance from around 1300 in 1985-86 to just over 2200 for the 1987-88 year (freshman made up 400 students, sophomores 500, juniors 600, and seniors had a class size of 700). FVHS classes of 1987 and 1988 were allowed to decide between EGHS, PHS, and RMHS. FVHS class of 1989 were assigned to schools based on where they lived.

In 2004, the EGHS natatorium was built, giving EGHS swimming teams their own pool. Boys' and girls' water polo teams were created as well. EGHS currently shares its pool with aquatic teams from Rolling Meadows High School.

In 2006, EGHS started its annual Grenaissance, a day devoted to the arts that includes hands-on workshops and demonstrations in areas such as Computer Graphics, Music, Dance, Stage Acting/Performances, and others.

During the first week of the 2007-2008 school year, EGHS was closed for one day due to the flooding of nearby Salt Creek. The flooding completely submerged the varsity baseball fields and partially covered the football/track and soccer areas. The back parking lots were also partially submerged, and power was temporarily lost.

Elk Grove High School shares its original layout with Wheeling High School. The courtyard, lunchroom, and academic classrooms are located in the same places, although since the additions of the natatorium, the BTLS/Graphic Arts wing, the Fieldhouse, and the northwestern Science/Math wing to EGHS, considerable differences have been raised.

A few scenes from the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street were filmed at Elk Grove High School in the first week of May 2009.

Academics
In 2008, Elk Grove had an average composite ACT score of 22.7, and graduated 96.9% of its senior class.

Elk Grove High School Principal Paul Kelly was named 2018 Illinois High School Principal of the Year by the Illinois Principals Association.

Fine arts
At Elk Grove High School, there are plenty of opportunities for students to take part in Fine Arts.

EGHS has three orchestras: Concert Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, and Honors Chamber Orchestra. Concert Orchestra is for freshman and sophomores, and Symphony Orchestra is for juniors and seniors. Underclassman can, however, audition for Symphony Orchestra if they so choose. The Honors Chamber Orchestra is a smaller, more advanced group of student musicians that has private concerts outside of school several times a year. All of the Orchestras play a fall, winter, and spring concert.

The school has several choirs: Beginning Men's Choir (male underclassmen), Beginning Women's Choir (female underclassmen), Advanced Mixed Choir, Treble Choir, Towne Criers, A Octave Higher, Grenadier Voices, and a Vocal Jazz Ensemble. All choirs perform a fall, winter, and spring concert. The Towne Criers perform several times a year around the community, including at elementary schools. The Vocal Jazz Ensemble was recently selected to perform at the 2014 IMEA All-State Music Festival.

There are also several bands: Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Band, Pit Band (Musical), and House Band (Variety Show), and Marching Band. Only the Concert, Symphonic, Marching, and Jazz Bands perform regularly. Symphonic Band consists mainly of upperclassmen, but younger students can participate by audition. The Marching Band placed in state for the school year 2012-2013. Most recently, they performed at the 2013 Sugar Bowl.

Advanced music students in either band, orchestra, or choir can audition for IMEA District VII ensembles; and, if they rank especially well, they also have a chance to be part of the Illinois All State Music Festival.

Orchesis is the advanced dance group at Elk Grove High School. They perform several times a year for the school and at different venues. In the spring, the members put on two shows: The Orchesis Show and Miniconcert.

The Art program at EGHS, along with its pupils, has won several awards.

Elk Grove High School also has a drama program that consists of a Fall Play, Winter Musical, and One-Act Plays.

William Martin (Canadian politician)

William George Martin (September 13, 1886 – December 19, 1973) was a Canadian clergyman and politician. Martin represented Brantford in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1926 to 1934 as a Conservative member and St. Matthews as a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1958 to 1966.

Background
He was born in Milton Abbot, Devonshire, England, the son of William Martin, and came to Canada in 1910, settling in Calgary, Alberta. He was ordained a minister of the Congregational Church there. He returned to England in 1912 promoting immigration on behalf of the Canadian government. On his return to Canada, he received a degree in theology from Victoria College in Toronto, Ontario. He served as an assistant minister for the Methodist Church in Hamilton and then was a chaplain overseas during World War I. He returned to serve with the Congregational Church in Brantford. In 1935, Martin was historian for the Canadian expedition to the Eastern Arctic.

Politics
In 1926, he was elected to the Ontario provincial assembly as a member of the Ontario Conservative Party for the constituency of Brantford. He served as the Minister of Welfare and Minister of Public Works from 1930 to 1934. In 1936, Martin became minister at a United Church in Winnipeg, serving there until 1955.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 provincial election, defeating CCF candidate Gordon Fines by over 800 votes in the Winnipeg constituency of St. Matthews. (Incumbent Hank Scott placed a distant fourth, running as an independent Conservative.) Martin defeated Fines again in the 1959 election, and was returned a third time in the 1962 campaign. He was a backbench supporter of Dufferin Roblin's government throughout his time in office and also served four years as deputy speaker for the assembly.

Maracas Bay

Maracas Bay is a bay with sandy beach on the island of Trinidad.

It is located on the north side of the island, an hour's mountainous drive from the capital city of Port of Spain via the North Coast Road.

Unlike many of the northern beaches of Trinidad, Maracas Bay is protected by a deep bay. It is one of the most well known beaches in the island of Trinidad as it is considered by some to be the most beautiful beach of its size located relatively close to the capital city.

Talk:Newell's Old Boys

Championships
Stop deleting that Newell's Old Boys won six championships, because it's true. Newell's Old Boys won the title in 1974 (1st), 1987-88 Season (2nd), Apertura 1990 (3rd), 1990-91 Season (4th), but AFA only counted one title of that last 2, but people counts them as two titles. The 5th title was the 1992 Clausura, and Apertura 2004 was the 6th title. So stop deleting it.

Also, do not delete the list of famous supporters. And if you wish to delete it, also delete the Rosario Central list. Because they have the same purpose. So if one is important, the other one is important too.

 * Dear anonymous
 * 1. Newells won only 5 championships. You forget that in the 1990/1991, and for that single time, the winner of the Apertura (Newells) played a match against the winner of the Clausura (Boca) to define the 1990/1991 champion. Newells won that match, there fore, the 1991 clausura championship does not compute among Boca championships, and the 1990 apertura does not compute for Newells, only the 1990/91 Championship computed.

 * 2. The list of important matches seams to be, well, unimportant. And it includes errors, such as the 'first AFA match' 8 years after the official one...
 * Please, I understand you are a Newells fan, but try to see this from the eyes of a complete foreigner who only wants a bit of info about the team.

 * 3. It's true, Rosario Central has A FEW (6) famous supporters, which are WIDELY known (4 of them have their own wikipedia article) and WIDELY known to support Central, whereas Newells article included, for instance Pachu Peña, who is not internationally (nor even nationally) recognised.
 * Is really Fidel Castro a Newells fan? Maybe, you've got any source? Gabriela Sabatini? Luppi?
 * Anyway, I would suggest you to SERIOUSLY cut down the list of fans, because it is unimportant to the article itself if Hijitus was indeed a Newells fan or not.

 * I will remove the list of important matches, and cut down the list of supporters (even though I don't know them to be supporters) to thouse I believe to be important. Hope we can find the Equilibrium.

 * Thanks for your understanding, and please create your own Wikipedian user for your edits.
 * --Marianocecowski 12:07, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dear Mariano Cecowski:
 * 1. It's clear that you are a supporter of Rosario Central. I didn't forget that the 6th star is not official. But Newell's people consider it a win, as Boca Juniors people has the team of 1991 Clausura in the Hall of Fame (Batistuta, Latorre, Navarro Montoya... that team). A similar fact happened on 1936 with River Plate and San Lorenzo, so it's not the 1st time it happened. Don't come to tell me about the history of football, because it's something I'm expert at.

And they were 2 matchs on the Final, not one.

 * 2. I perfectly know that AFA profesionalism began on 1931, and both teams from Rosario joined it on 1939. I actually wrote it in the article, that I started myself. With "1st AFA match" I meant that it was the 1st Newell's AFA match, and that in the big debut Newell's defeated a so called big team, like San Lorenzo. On the other side, Rosario Central lost the debut in AFA. In that championship, Newell's came 3rd and Rosario Central in the last places. And that history repeated for a long way after the years.

Abd if you know of another so called error, as you said the list had, please let me know and I'll send you the source.

 * 3. The supporters. I don't think the supporters are important. I just made a list because some stupid person made a list on the Rosario Central article, perhaps because he wasn't able to found something to make the club appear as important as Newell's is, with all the mentions on the article. People is not even a part of the club. They're not officialy part, so it doesn't mind. That's the difference between RC and NOB. RC people enjoy going to the stadium, partying, singing, while NOB people likes to win, and only to win. And that's what makes a club important: the championships, the major achievements, the important players, the history of big wins. Not just a crowd jumping on a tribune. I put a list of supporters of NOB only because that idiot person that made the RC one perhaps thought that NOB doesn't have important people. But the truth is that NOB has more important people, in quantity and quality. And if you don't believe they are supporters, again I say, please let me know and I'll send you the sources.

Do not delete without asking.

 * Dear anonymous
 * I'm sorry to disappoint you (again) but I'm not a Central's fan. I'm just trying to keep this NPOV. Had you checked the History of that article you would have seen that.
 * I'm glad you count the 6th championship as a championship by itself, but that doesn't make it real. Let's not forget this is an Encyclopedia, not a Hooligans' blog.
 * I'm also glad to see that you ar an expert in the subject, but if you wrote Newells won the first AFA match in 1939, then it's plain wrong, even if you meant something else.
 * If you think supporters are not important, then grow up and forget about them.
 * I'm not having a conversation to an IP anymore. If you wish to make a point in a civilised way, then get a user, and be worried to make things right, not just to make you team look better than that of your rivals.
 * --Marianocecowski 08:49, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I have removed L de la T from the fans list, not because he was an RC fan, but because there's no verifiable source indicating that he was fan of any football team at all.

Pease Porridge Hot

"Pease Porridge Hot" or "Pease Pudding Hot" is an English children's singing game and nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19631.

Lyrics
The lyrics to the rhyme are:

 * Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold,
 * Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old;
 * Some like it hot, some like it cold,
 * Some like it in the pot, nine days old.

Origin
The origins of this rhyme are unknown. The name refers to a type of porridge made from peas. Today it is known as pease pudding, and was also known in Middle English as pease pottage. ("Pease" was treated as a mass noun, similar to "oatmeal", and the singular "pea" and plural "peas" arose by back-formation.)

The earliest recorded version of "Pease Porridge Hot" is a riddle found in John Newbery's Mother Goose's Melody (c. 1760):
 * Pease Porridge hot,
 * Pease Porridge cold,
 * Pease Porridge in the Pot
 * Nine Days old,
 * Spell me that in four Letters?
 * I will, T HAT .

Where the terms "pease pudding" and "pease pottage" are used, the lyrics of the rhyme are altered accordingly.

Game
Schoolchildren often play Pease Porridge Hot by pairing off and clapping their hands together to the rhyme as follows:
 * Pease (clap both hands to thighs) porridge (clap own hands together) hot (clap partner's hands),
 * pease (clap both hands to thighs) porridge (clap own hands together) cold (clap partner's hands),
 * Pease (clap thighs) porridge (clap own hands) in the (clap right hands only) pot (clap own hands),
 * nine (clap left hands only) days (clap own hands) old (clap partner's hands).
 * (Repeat actions for second stanza)

NOTE: The actions are performed during recitation of the word or phrase, not following.

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils are an American rock band formed in 1972 in Springfield, Missouri. They are most widely known for their singles "If You Wanna Get to Heaven" in 1974 and "Jackie Blue" in 1975.

Bassist Michael "Supe" Granda has also written a book about the band, It Shined.

Name
According to the book It Shined by Michael Granda, the band name was derived from "Cosmic Corn Cob & His Amazing Ozark Mountain Daredevils", a name that John Dillon came up with at a Kansas City "naming party" after the band was told that the name they had previously been using, "Family Tree", was already taken ("Burlap Socks" and "Buffalo Chips" were two other monikers that had been considered). The band shortened the name because none of the band members at the time wanted to be called "Cosmic Corn Cob", and they did not want the name to sound similar to the Amazing Rhythm Aces.

Formation and the Family Tree
In 1971 Randle Chowning formed a band with Steve Cash, John Dillon, Elizabeth Anderson, Larry Lee, Rick Campanelli, Bill Jones and Michael Granda.

The band recorded a demo at Springfield's Top Talent Studios (soon to be renamed as American Artists) and that demo, containing such early songs as "Rhythm of Joy", found its way to New York music executive John Hammond via the hands of band friend Steve Canaday, co–owner of the New Bijou Theater. In July 1972 Hammond sent a producer, Michael Sunday, to the band's Ruedi-Valley Ranch in Aldrich, Missouri, the house rented from Randle Chowning's Southwest Missouri State University teacher Mrs. Ruedi, where the band rehearsed and where Chowning and his brother Rusty lived. Sunday offered the group $500 to make another demo tape at American Artists but ultimately decided to pass on offering them a contract. Many of the songs on this demo appeared thirteen years later as the record The Lost Cabin Sessions.

The band later sent a tape to the team who managed fellow Missourians Brewer & Shipley, Kansas City's Paul Peterson and Stan Plesser (who also owned the Vanguard, a popular coffee house, and ran their own Good Karma Productions). The pair gave the band a chance and became their managers as well in October 1972. The band then changed their name to the Ozark Mountain Daredevils (see "Name") and saw the departure of Campanelli and Jones along with the addition of Buddy Brayfield, a friend of Granda's, as the piano player. Anderson, though still romantically involved with Dillon, retired from the stage. Campanelli left on his own to pursue a master's degree in music; Jones rejoined the Daredevils briefly later (in 1974-1977) and would continue to appear as a guest player on some of their shows and recording sessions. He returned to the stage as a permanent member in 2010.

1970s with A&M
The band began playing out in 1972 and 1973. On February 8, 1973 they played at Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City, Missouri. Later that month, on February 21, they played a concert at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in Shawnee, Kansas. Two weeks after that, on March 9 and 10, they played at Kiel Opera House in St. Louis and Cowtown Ballroom again, this time with Brewer & Shipley, accompanied by Loudon Wainwright III. Performances from both those March shows later turned up on a CD called Archive Alive in 1997.

The group's demo tape eventually caught the attention of A&M Records staff producer David Anderle, who was looking for an Eagles country rock type of band to place on the label. Anderle and the Eagles' first producer, Glyn Johns, flew to Missouri to catch the band's aforementioned performance at Cowtown Ballroom on March 10, 1973. But the band, nervous about Johns and Anderle being in the audience, did not play their best. Later on, Paul Peterson invited the two men back to his place to hear the band give an unplugged performance by candlelight. This time Anderle and Johns were blown away and they were signed to A&M on May 1, 1973, and sent to England to record their first record at Olympic Studios in London with Johns at the helm during that June and July.

The first record, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils (also referred to as "The Quilt Album"), was released in December 1973 and spawned the Top 30 hit "If You Wanna Get to Heaven" in the summer of 1974. The album introduced the band's unique mixture of rock, country, bluegrass and pop to the world and is still the favorite of many of the group's fans.

For the second album, It'll Shine When It Shines (October 1974), Johns and Anderle came to Missouri to record, utilizing a mobile recording truck set up outside of the band's rehearsal home. During the sessions, Johns overheard Larry Lee sitting at a piano playing and singing a song about a mysterious friend of his who sometimes dealt drugs on the side. Johns loved the melody and thought it could be a smash hit if the lyrics were altered to be about a girl and the drug references downplayed. Lee and Cash did as Johns asked and the song, Jackie Blue, became the Daredevils' signature song and a huge hit (No. 3) in the spring of 1975.

The Ozark's third release, The Car Over the Lake Album (September 1975), recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by Anderle alone, featured their old compatriot Bill Jones joining them to play and arrange their songs. He also toured with them in late 1974 thru early 1977. The album sold fairly well but produced no hits. In 1976 Dillon, Brayfield, Lee and Chowning appeared on Hoyt Axton's A&M LP Fearless, contributing back-up vocals on the album's opening song, "Idol of The Band."

One reason why the band's fortunes began to falter might have been their reluctance to relocate to Southern California after being asked to do so by A&M co-head Jerry Moss. Another was their reluctance to embark on the constant touring that many of their contemporaries were doing at the time. A further sticking point was the band's unwillingness to try and duplicate their biggest hit, "Jackie Blue", or copy what other groups were doing. As a result, A&M began to lose a bit of its enthusiasm for the act.

Personnel shifts within the group also began to change the chemistry. In the spring of 1976, the band embarked on a tour of Europe. But by the time the exhausted troupe hit Copenhagen, Denmark, in early May, for their final show at Daddy's Dance Hall, they were confounded by a horrible sound mix at the venue. An angry Randle Chowning responded by turning up his amplifier all the way, which upset the other band members and resulted in a huge shouting match at the end of the night. Upon their return home, Chowning refused to speak to the others or take their calls. Norwegian musician Rune Walle, whom the band had met while on tour in Europe with his band the Flying Norwegians, was then contacted in June to replace him. Walle's first show with the group was at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on July 23, 1976, on a bill that also included the Beach Boys, the Doobie Brothers, Jeff Beck and Firefall. Chowning went on to form his own Randle Chowning Band

That same year, the Daredevils headed west to the Rockies, to Caribou Ranch near Nederland, Colorado, to record their fourth album, which they had originally titled Nuclear Fishing but then changed to Men From Earth after A&M objected. The Nuclear Fishing title was later used up in Canada for a greatest hits album release. Anderle was once again in the producer's chair and Evergreen, Colorado resident Jerry Mills joined the band on mandolin and also served as the group's advance publicist. Another face from the past, Steve Canaday, also came back into the group's life in 1975 as road manager and opening act before joining the band during the making of Men From Earth.

In the fall of 1976, Buddy Brayfield departed to study medicine and Ruell Chappell (vocals, keyboards), from the popular Springfield group Spillwater Junction, came in. But the band's next several releases – Men From Earth (September 1976), Don't Look Down (October 1977, produced by David Kershenbaum, once again at Caribou Ranch) and It's Alive (September 1978) – sold in smaller quantities than their previous records had. Jerry Mills and his mandolin were dropped from the group after It's Alive since the band was performing fewer acoustic numbers in their show by this time.

During the summer of 1978, the Daredevils went out for a short run of shows where they opened for Fleetwood Mac. Granda was not available since he was at home helping his wife with the birth of their second child, so Springfield bassist Larry Van Fleet (from the Randle Chowning Band) sat in for these dates.

On August 26, 1978 the Ozarks appeared at Canada Jam on a large bill that also included Kansas, Atlanta Rhythm Section, the Doobie Brothers, the Commodores and others.

Also in 1978, John Dillon and Steve Cash contributed to an album, White Mansions, which documented life in the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Waylon Jennings, Eric Clapton, Jessi Colter, Bernie Leadon and several other musicians appeared on this record as well.

1978 also had Larry Lee recording a solo album for A&M that was not released.

In September 1978 the group flew to Hollywood to appear on The Midnight Special. But when A&M's Jerry Moss witnessed the inebriated band members race through their set on the show, he decided not to pick up the option on their record deal and the Ozarks found themselves without a home in 1979.

1980s
By 1979 the group had moved over to Columbia Records and put out the self-titled Ozark Mountain Daredevils in May 1980. This album, recorded in Los Angeles, was produced by famed country rock pioneer producer John Boylan and did not feature Chappell or Canaday, and Walle only contributed slide guitar to a few songs, since Boylan insisted on bringing in session players for a more typical "California country rock laid back sound", which was popular at the time. But country rock's popularity seemed to be on the wane at the dawn of the 1980s as groups such as the Ozarks, Poco and Firefall saw their sales begin to slip away. The album saw the band moving away from country towards more of a slicker pop rock sound on some of the songs. But it failed to find many takers at the record stores and Columbia dropped the group after only one record.

In 1980 Walle left the Daredevils to be replaced by Springfield guitarist Terry Wilson (who had been playing with Granda in a side project created for fun called the Dog People). Chappell also split in 1980.

In December 1980 Brayfield, Chowning, Jones, Chappell and Walle reunited with the band for two shows, one in Springfield and one in Kansas City. The first was at Hammons Student Center on December 6 and the second, on December 31, occurred at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. The latter show was later put out on CD (in August 2006) and DVD (in June 2007) as 1980 Reunion Concert: Rhythm And Joy.

After divorcing his wife, Larry Lee left the band and relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue his own career in 1982 after releasing a solo album, Marooned, that had been recorded in Los Angeles for Columbia and released in March of the same year. He also worked as a songwriter and country producer (for Alabama, Juice Newton and others) and would still play drums on occasion with other acts. In the mid-'80s, he even did a stint with Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. After Lee's 1982 departure the group was left a quintet, with Dillon, Cash, Granda, Canaday and Wilson.

That same year, there was another major upheaval as Dillon and Cash decided that they'd had enough as well. After some consideration, it was decided that the group would continue with Granda and the returning Randle Chowning leading a new lineup that included Bobby "Lloyd" Hicks (vocals, drums, percussion, ex-Steve Forbert), Joe Terry (vocals, keyboards, from the St. Louis group the Couch Dancers) and Tulsa guitarist Gary Smith. Canaday stayed on and once again became the band's road manager.

This new grouping only lasted about a year and a half before Chowning left again, Hicks took a job with Kerry Cole & the Lefty Brothers and Joe Terry joined a new band, the Morells. At this point, Dillon and Cash agreed to rejoin and Gary Smith stayed around a few months more before relocating to Branson, Missouri, so the mid-1983 Ozarks lineup was: John Dillon, Steve Cash, "Supe" Granda, Steve Canaday and Gary Smith, the latter soon succeeded by Jason LeMasters (guitar), before LeMasters departed to work for Kris Kristofferson and was replaced by Chowning, back for his third stint with the Daredevils.

Also in 1983, the group's managers, Stan Plesser and Paul Peterson, closed their Good Karma Productions company as the band began to manage and book themselves from this point on.

In September 1984 Dillon, Cash, "Supe", Chowning and Canaday went into Lou Whitney's Column One Studios in Springfield to record some new tracks, with Larry Lee back to help out as recording engineer. Unfortunately, these demos failed to attract a new deal.

In 1985 a group of mostly unreleased tracks (the aforementioned demos that they had recorded for Michael Sunday and John Hammond back on July 6 & 7, 1972) appeared on Varèse Sarabande Records as The Lost Cabin Sessions. An expanded version of this release, with additional songs, was later released on CD.

The following year the band followed Lee to Nashville to record a new album produced by Wendy Waldman that, like their 1980 Columbia release, utilized session players. Lee briefly rejoined for this album but there was no interest at all from any of the labels in Nashville in the project. A small French company, Dixiefrog Records, eventually picked up the record and it was released in France as Heart of the Country in 1987. Many of the same songs were released in England in 1989 as Modern History on the Conifer label.

In the meantime, the Daredevils continued on with Morells guitarist Don Clinton Thompson joining in the spring of 1986 after Chowning left yet again after the aforementioned Nashville album had initially failed to land them a new contract.

During the spring of 1988, the people at Dixiefrog Records in France brought the Daredevils over to play there and other European dates in support of Heart of the Country that had recently been released there.

There were more personnel changes as Canaday, who had been managing the group as well as playing drums, ran afoul of some marriage difficulties and some rough waters with the group's business affairs and decided to leave to move to Nashville in 1989 to work as tour manager for Lee Roy Parnell, Tammy Wynette and Marshall Chapman; he was briefly succeeded on drums by the band's sound man, Rick "Lumpy" Davidson, who previously had sometimes joined the group onstage playing washboard.

At the end of 1989, Thompson quit to reform his old band, the Skeletons, and Davidson moved to Branson to take a job as sound mixer at Ray Stevens' theater.

1990s
In 1990 guitarist Bill Brown (from Supe's side band Supe & the Sandwiches) and Morells drummer Ron "Rongo" Gremp came aboard. The band continued their now-limited touring.

A 1990 release, Now Hear This!, like their unreleased 1984 sessions, was recorded back at Lou Whitney's studios in Springfield and put out on cassette tape only.

In 1991 Rick "Lumpy" Davidson returned to sub for Ron Gremp on drums.

Also in 1991, Granda, like Lee and Canaday before him, decided to uproot himself and settle in Nashville where he peddled his songs, searched for a deal for his side band, Supe & the Sandwiches, and became involved in other projects, including a stint as bass player in Michael Clarke's Byrds. And in the summer of 1992, the Daredevils resumed their ever-dwindling schedule of gigs.

Kelly O'Shea from the Titanic Blues Band sometimes filled in for Brown on lead guitar from 1992 to 1994.

In 1996 the Ozarks were approached by their former manager, Stan Plesser, to re-record some of their best-known songs for a company called Eclipse Records. This was recorded in Nashville with producer Bob Wright with only Dillon, Cash and Granda (Larry Lee and Steve Canaday guested on backup vocals) playing on this project accompanied by session players. The CD was titled Jackie Blue and appeared in March 1997 as a budget product sold mostly at truck stops. This CD has been re-released many times since then under different titles, including Our Most Dangerous Stunts in June 2006.

New Era Productions, a company formed by an old Springfield buddy of the group's, Benny Smith, agreed to fund another album of brand new material in 1996, 13. This was recorded in their hometown of Springfield and mixed mostly in Nashville by Larry Lee, who played and sang on it as well. Chowning also contributed to the album, but after the band was unable to secure a major label release, he had himself removed from it. 13 was released in June 1997. Also that year came Archive Alive, a CD containing performances from their March 1973 shows at Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City and Kiel Opera House in St Louis.

On September 25, 1999, Steve Canaday was killed, aged 55, when the small plane he was traveling in crashed in Nashville, Tennessee while he was working as an aerial photographer.

2000s
On July 23, 2004, guitarist Bill Brown died of smoke inhalation in a house fire in Springfield that also took the life of another popular Springfield guitarist, Don Shipps (from Supe's side band, Supe & the Sandwiches, the Titanic Blues Band and earlier Granny's Bathwater). On October 16 of this same year, the group and several other Springfield bands appeared at the Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Mosque in a memorial show for Brown and benefit for his family.

Since that time the band has gone into semi-retirement but usually emerges each year to play shows. The 2004 lineup contained Dillon, Cash, "Supe", Ron Gremp and Dave Painter (an occasional fill in for Brown or "Supe" from 1998 on, who joined the band permanently for the 2004 Shrine Mosque show). Beginning with a series of shows in May 2007 at Gillioz Theater in Springfield, Kelly Brown joined as the group's new keyboardist. These shows were recorded for a 2008 DVD release called Revival (Live at the Gillioz) .

Starting in 2005, Lee and Chowning re-teamed in a new group, Beyond Reach, that formed in Nashville but has since moved its base back to the two men's hometown of Springfield, Missouri. In 2006 and 2007 Lee and Chowning began appearing as special guests at some of the Daredevils shows, including Revival (Live at the Gillioz), but haven't done so in recent years due to personal differences. It appears that they're no longer interested in playing with the Daredevils, nor are the Daredevils interested in having them.

Concurrently, also in 2005 Steve Cash wrote a science fiction trilogy titled The Meq published by Del Rey Books.

2010s
A brand new live album by the Daredevils, a two-disc set featuring 21 tracks, including old favorites, rare songs and a couple of new ones, titled Alive & Wild, was made available in October 2011. This was taken from shows performed at Wildwood Springs Lodge in Steelville, Missouri, in November 2010. The band line up for these shows included: John Dillon, Steve Cash, Michael "Supe" Granda, Ron Gremp, Dave Painter, Kelly Brown, Bill Jones, Ruell Chappell (who'd returned in 2008, now on percussion and vocals) and Nick Sibley (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, backing vocals), a former bandmate of Chappell's. From 2010 to 2019, the band continued to make concert appearances with this nine piece lineup, occasionally joined (from 2012 on) on stage by violinist/cellist/guitarist/singer-songwriter Molly Healey, who became a permanent member in 2014.

Former early band member Buddy Brayfield, now Dr. Sam Brayfield, is a family practice, hospice and palliative care physician in Osage Beach, Missouri, and plays with a local band Buddy and the Notes. For the first time since 1980, Brayfield rejoined the group for a reunion concert at Gillioz Theater in September 2010 that included four of the original six members. Brayfield indicated that he decided to play in the Missouri concert since his children had never seen him play with the group.

Bobby "Lloyd" Hicks, the group's 1982 drummer, died on February 19, 2017, after suffering extensive lung damage stemming from double pneumonia, just three weeks shy of his 70th birthday.

In early 2018, the band announced on their Facebook page the release of a new album, Off The Beaten Path, as a self release.

On May 17, 2019 the band self released Heaven 20/20, a 7 track EP featuring five new songs, one live song and a re-recording of "If You Want To Get To Heaven." It would be the last album to feature co-founder Steve Cash before his death later that year.

Steve Cash died on October 13, 2019 at age 73 after an extended illness.

2020s
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Major Brands, the largest Missouri based distributor of premium alcohol and non-alcohol beverages, announced production of Ozark Dry Gin that will exclusively be sold to retailers and restaurateurs in Missouri.

The band's late 80s drummer and washboard player Rick "Lumpy" Davidson, aged 72, died on February 21, 2020, after a bout with cancer.

The band has been very active on their Facebook account posting stories, pictures, news and videos. One post from December 2021 announced a project celebrating the bands 50th anniversary in 2022, the publication of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils on Record: A Narrative Discography.

Band bassist Michael "Supe" Granda appeared on the December 24, 2021 episode of Wheel of Fortune and won $9,500.

To further mark their 50th anniversary, the band announced a return to their hometown to perform three gigs at The Landers Theatre (on March 17–19, 2022), where they'd played their first gig in 1972, still under the name "Family Tree".

On May 17, 2022 the group went to Nashville to make their Grand Ole Opry debut as part of their Time Warp Tour, celebrating their Fiftieth Year Anniversary. And on June 30 their documentary, Ozark Mountain Daredevils Backstage, debuted on PBS Television.

In June 2023 the band released the digital single "More Cowbell" on all streaming platforms.

In March 2024 the group announced they would be playing a farewell tour that summer, joined by Pure Prairie League.

Morphological box

Morphological analysis was designed for multi-dimensional, non-quantifiable problems where causal modeling and simulation do not function well or at all. Fritz Zwicky developed this approach to seemingly non-reducible complexity (Zwicky, 1966, 1969). Using the technique of cross consistency assessment (CCA) (Ritchey, 2002), the system however does allow for reduction, not by reducing the number of variables involved, but by reducing the number of possible solutions through the elimination of the illogical solution combinations in a grid box.

References in fiction
Robert A. Heinlein has his characters use a "Zwicky box" in Time Enough for Love, to figure out what's available to break the ennui of his 2000-year-old character.

David Brin used "Zwicky Choice Boxes" in Sundiver as a means to help solve a murder mystery.
