Special to The Evening Sun
CHENANGO What do a dairy farmer, a jeweler, a school bus driver, a retired teacher, a chiropractor and a former journalist have in common? They are among Chenangos top elected leaders.
For the last 18 years and counting, dairyman Lawrence Wilcox has been one of them. The Oxford native said he had no aspirations of entering politics when, after college and a stint in the Air Force, he returned to his hometown and became the fourth generation to farm his familys dairy. All that changed around 1979, when he was asked to serve on the towns planning board.
Its been a steady progression from there, the Republican said.
In 1989, he assumed a seat on Oxfords town council and, in 1998, he was elected to his first term as town supervisor. It is an office he will continue to hold for at least another four years based on the outcome of last weeks election, where he defeated opponent Fred Lanfear by a count of 581votes to 338.
It was one of the hottest races in the county, as Wilcox is not only Oxford Town Supervisor but also chairman of Chenangos Board of Supervisors. The 23-person board governs the county and administers its nearly $90 million budget.
The structure which includes a representative from each of Chenangos 21 townships and two from the city of Norwich was once commonplace throughout New York, but has become a rarity. According to the New York State Association of Counties, Chenango is one of but 8 counties outside of New York City still administered by an elected legislative body. The other 49 either elect a county executive or appoint a manager or administrator, whether by charter or county law.
According to Wilcox, members of the public have stepped forward to question whether the structure is still the most viable form of government for Chenango on more than one occasion during his tenure on the board.
Its never really been considered very closely, he said.
The reason, he explained, is the cost associated with a professional administrator.
Financially, I dont think the county could operate any cheaper with a county executive, he said. The county currently pays each individual supervisor $12,000 per year and approximately $36,000 to the chairman. This is on top of the stipends paid by their individual towns.
Wilcox, who headed the countys finance committee for many years before becoming chairman, is keenly aware of the financial impact of any decision at the county government level. But while he considers the financials in favor of the current structure, there is another reason he considers it the best form of government for Chenango.
Its biggest strength, he said, is the personal interaction of supervisors with their constituents and on the county level. It is this personal interaction that gives a small town an equal voice in committees, regardless of how many weighted votes they carry. This, he said, would be lost in a different structure, where small townships would be grouped together under one legislator.
There is a disconnect with the legislator, he explained.
As chairman, Wilcoxs focus has been on getting the county government on firmer financial footing. Under his leadership, they operate under six financial precepts, which include maintaining no debt, staying below the mandated tax cap, maintaining sufficient surplus levels and providing mandated services, along with those that are not mandated but provide needed services for county residents.
As a result, Chenango County has been recognized by the state as one of the top counties in terms of fiscal position. Last year, Chenango was ranked 3rd on the list; this year, it slipped to 4th. Why the lower ranking?
We used surplus funds for a capital project, explained Wilcox, something the state frowns upon.
That decision is one Wilcox stands firmly behind because of the long-term savings the county will realize as a result of the project in question. The project, relocating the court system, was one the chairman said had sat on the back burner for more than 20 years.
When I started, I felt that had to be a priority, he said.
The scope of the project included both moving the court system to the Eaton Center and renovating the space the courts previously occupied in the County Office Building. This allowed Mental Health to consolidate its services rather than continuing to rent space elsewhere. In the 2016 budget cycle alone, the move will save $87,000, according to Wilcox.
Over the course of the lease, it will be several million (in savings), he said, and help keep the Eaton Center viable.
According to the chairman, savings were also realized during the course of the project, due to the efforts of Director of Public Facilities Julie Gates.
She saved Chenango County thousands and thousands of dollars, Wilcox said.
According to Wilcox, the 2 percent tax cap imposed by the state has been a strain on the county because there has not been a corresponding decrease in mandates.
If we could make our own choices, it would make it a lot easier to operate under the tax cap, he said.
He points at the $25 million, more than a quarter of the countys overall budget, allocated to the Department of Social Services as an example.
Thats an expense that we cant fight, the chairman said.
He also worries about the impending minimum wage increase to $15 an hour.
Personnel is the biggest expense any organization has, Wilcox said. The county, which is Chenangos single largest employer with upward of 550 employees, is poised to feel it more than most.
The county has been very strategic about filling vacancies as department heads and staff near retirement.
Weve streamlined a lot of departments, and not had to incur any layoffs in the process, he said. Hes proud of the fact that, while the workforce is smaller than it was when he first walked into the building as a supervisor 18 years ago, they are still able to provide the services residents need.
The administration is also always looking for places where there can be more cooperation and collaboration between departments both within the county structure and with outside entities.
Im not a fan of consolidation, but I am a fan of shared services, he explained. There are an awful lot of things we all do where we can all work together.
Wilcox points at the way in which the county highway department and local departments work together, sharing services and equipment, as an example.
I think we could do the same thing, he said, of other aspects of county government.
The highway system is something in which Wilcox places great importance, and hopes to be able to fund better in the future. Its something he says impacts every single resident, whether they drive or not. Its also the first impression for visitors.
Every facet of commerce is based on being able to travel, he explained.
City of Norwich Democrat James McNeil echoed Wilcox sentiments about the highway system. This despite the fact that no county highway runs through the city.
It brings everything here, he explained.
He also sees it as an example of how the countys structure helps bring together Chenangos individual municipalities.
Were all small parts of the greater whole, he said.
McNeil, a business owner and jeweler by trade, had an early start in politics.
I was 8 years old and delivered sample ballots in Ward 4, he said, remembering how he helped his father, then a county supervisor, run for office.
It wasnt until much later, of course, that he decided to make his own run for public office. Hes represented Norwichs wards 1, 2 and 3 since 2000.
He and his colleague Bob Jeffrey, are in a somewhat unique position. Unlike the town supervisors they share the county board table with, they dont play an official role in city government. That doesnt mean, however, that their role isnt an important one, McNeil explained.
Im not employed by the city of Norwich, but the city is a part of the county and they need representation (on the county level) as any town needs representation, he said.
His philosophy, he explained, is to help constituents any way he can. That is often helping people connect the dots between the city and county governments.
That can involve anything from traffic concerns to making sure an elderly resident gets the help they need, and everything in between, he said.
According to McNeil, the county has more to offer than many people fully realize. This includes Preston Manor, a facility he calls Chenangos hidden gem.
For him, it always back to people.
Behind the scenes, the employees are a great asset, he said. They do their job and they do it well.
Each contributes greatly to the myriad of services the county offers residents, he added. He invites all residents to explore the county website, www.co.chenango.ny.us, to explore the services provided by each department.
What is McNeil most proud of when it comes to his hometown?
The great diversity of good people that want to improve the quality of life, McNeil said. He includes everyone from business owners and professionals, to neighbors and those who take part in the number of non-profit organizations working for the good of the community in that list.
Also included, one would assume, are those willing to step up to public office for the first time.
Like McNeil, Christine Carnrike is following in her fathers footsteps. In November of 1968, George Carnrike was elected mayor. Last week, 47 years later, his youngest daughter was elected to that office.
A long-time city resident, Carnrike said she felt compelled to run out of concern for Norwichs future and a desire to preserve its charms for generations to come.
I love Norwich, she said. It is my home.
During her campaign, she connected with voters.
The people I met shared their concerns with me loss of opportunity for families, disengaged youth, crumbling neighborhoods and an overall lack of prosperity, she said. A vision is needed to reverse our decline and restore our community.
Her message resonated with voters. Their support enabled her to declare an early victory when she defeated incumbent mayor Joseph Maiurano two to one in Septembers Republican primary. She was unopposed in the general election on Nov. 3.
She is grateful for the opportunity, she said, but at the same time knows shell have her work cut out for her.
When I officially take the oath of office I will be inheriting a fiscal mess with a shaky foundation, the mayor-elect said.
According to Carnrike, the city has chosen to eat through its surplus over the last few years to avoid exceeding the tax cap rather than adequately curb spending or exploring how to operate more efficiently and effectively.
Because of this, the 2016 budget may very well incur a double-digit property tax increase with possible cuts to service, she said.
Thats a course of action she considers a recipe for continuing and steady decline for the city.
We need a sustainable and growing tax base with efficient services to pursue growth opportunities, she said.
Looming property tax increases combined with threats of cuts to service is not the way to generate positive change and to promote a commitment to our community.
She said it will take due diligence once she gets in office, to make sure that city government can both operate efficiently and meet the needs of residents and businesses alike.
We cannot rely on grants to sustain the city, she said. Grants are taxpayer money, too, and they are needed; however, I have witnessed a reliance on grant funds that is unrealistic for continued prosperity.
Carnrikes soon-to-be predecessor, Mayor Maiurano, has long been an advocate for consolidation, but was never able to garner the needed support to bring it past the conceptual stage. Carnrike isnt ruling out pursuing those same discussions, but said theres a lot of dialog that needs to take place first.
The solution to the problems facing our city will require the collaboration, cooperation and innovation of all officials, residents and business owners, she said. Establishing or re-opening the lines of communication is vital before beginning the process of finding possible areas for consideration of consolidated services.
As Chenango prepares for its future, who will lead it? Thats a question Jill Eddy is helping to answer in her role as facilitator of Leadership Chenango. The program, funded through the Chenango Foundation, has been developing Chenangos future community leaders since 1988.
The goal of Leadership Chenango is to take local community members who want to do more and give them the tools and resources to do just that, said Eddy, who took over the program from longtime facilitator Judie Wright this year.
The ten-month program helps participants develop leadership skills in a way that is laser-focused on Chenango. In 18 class sessions, participants are exposed to a broad range of topics including everything from health care and law enforcement to education, agribusiness, social services and local government.
We get to go behind the scenes and gain a perspective that most people will never have the opportunity to do, Eddy said.
Something that sets the program apart is the opportunity for participants to see and experience the subject matter first hand particularly during the three days spent touring the county and visiting businesses, farms and other points of interest. According to Eddy, this is always an eye opening experience.
Most class members dont realize how diverse Chenango County really is, she said.
Eddy knows first hand the impact the program has on participants. She herself is a graduate of Leadership Chenangos Class of 2014.
I felt that I had so much more knowledge about my county that would benefit not only myself, but others around me, she said, speaking of her own experience. I suddenly became a resource for others.
Leadership Chenangos Class of 2016 kicked off in October with a two-day retreat. The classs 19 students represent a number of area businesses, non-profits and backgrounds.
According to Eddy, they are a dynamic group.
They are already putting the dots together and realizing that all the issues they continue to identify are actually connected, she said.
Her favorite moment so far? Hearing one of the class say, Its only 11:15 and Im ready to take on the world.
Thats the kind of enthusiasm Chenango needs as it faces todays challenges, and whatever further challenges the future may hold.

Chair of Governors and Principal are ex-officio members of all Committees.
The role of the Governing Body is to support the strategic development of the College by working with the Head Of School and other members of the Senior Leadership Team, acting as a ʻcritical friend'.
The Governing Body has three main functions, aimed at promoting the highest standards of education:
• Holding the Principal to account for the educational performance of all students
• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Overseeing the financial performance of the College
Why become a Governor?
If you have an interest and passion in the ongoing development of Dawlish Community College to provide the best possible education in its broadest sense to the young people in this area, offering your time as a Governor will allow you to contribute directly to that end.
What is involved in becoming a Governor?
The college Governing Body currently comprises 20 Governors representing various groups such as parents, staff, the Local Authority and the Co-operative Trust and each has a term of office of four years. Induction and ongoing training is provided, some of which is mandatory, e.g. child protection.
Governors are expected to attend full Governing Body meetings, which are approximately one per term, and you will be asked to sit on one or two committees which monitor three specific areas:
• Student Outcomes (teaching and learning)
• Resources (premises, personnel and finance)
• Stakeholders (students and the part they and the college play in the wider community)
Governors will make occasional visits to College to witness day-to-day activities in order to understand the progress made and issues encountered by the Leadership Team.
Governors are invited to all College functions (for example concerts, sports events, drama productions, open evenings, prize givings and many more) and are expected to attend at least two per year.
Governors may choose to link with a particular subject area to better understand its workings.
If you are interested in joining the friendly (and hard working!) Governing Body at College, please contact the Clerk to the Governing Body, Mrs N Drake by email – firstname.lastname@example.com who can arrange an informal meeting with Governors to discuss matters further and let you know if there are any current vacancies.

With rich industry experience and knowledge, we have been able to manufacture, export and supply Rotary Airlock Valves that are used to control the flow of liquids and gases. In order to manufacture these valves as per the set industry standards, our experts use optimum quality raw material and advanced machinery. Offered valves undergo stringent tests on various parameters by our quality controllers to ensure their flawlessness. Offered Rotary Air Lock Valves can withstand high pressure and are available at industry leading prices.
Rotary Air Lock Valves are known by numerous names: Rotary Valve, Star Valve, Rotary Airlock, Vane Feeder, rotary valve, Star Feeder etc but no matter what these are named, one needs to interpret it's how you employ them that ascertains what you name them. The series of highly efficient and ever-changing rotary airlock valves can manage all types of material in all shapes (Granule, Powder, Chip, Pellets).
The most famous truth about the rotary valve is that it can utilized as a metering feeder to manage how much physical is outmoded from point A to point B, but it is not that exact. The rotary valves can be utilized as the airlocks to remove the high pressure region from a reduced pressure area, but regrettably it leaks.
The Rotary Air Lock Valves, set up at the opening of the pressure system, where their task is to feed material into a pneumatic conveyance system while concurrently taking physical from one pressure level into the high pressure level of the pneumatic conveying system. These can also be installed under the vacuum receivers on the vacuum system whose task it is to remove the high vacuum from atmospheric force is a "rotary airlock feeder" or "rotary airlock". The rotary valve set up at the opening of a vacuum system meter the product into the pneumatic conveying system or the valve set up at the ending of a pressure system.

I wish I had the time to comment on the criminals that murdered him. Until the current police-state is eliminated and law enforcement is held accountable to their oath, renegade public servants will continue to violate the law without accountability, let alone by other colleagues (like lawyers covering each others' backs in the courtroom by sitting lawyers in robes) who conspire to deprive us of life, liberty and property without lawful authority.
This is a case of intentional cold-blooded murder.
We cannot allow the murderers to remain free.

XHTML (Extensible HyperText Markup Language)
- What is the XHTML? XHTML Usage and Accuracy Check
- XHTML (Extensible HyperText Markup Language) is a client-side text markup language and has been a web standard since June 26, We can define XHTML as XML usage within HTML. It was suggested by the W3C in order to resolve the irregularities and errors that arise from the different interpretation of HTML in different browsers.
- For this language, which makes quite a bit of coding difference: 'XML syntax is used in HTML.' We can say. The XHTML was proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (WWW) because the HTML language has a lot of irregularities and errors in different interpretations and syntax in different browsers (see Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera). Another feature of XHTML is that it encourages coders to use CSS technology.

Children's Activities
We believe in providing a loving and nurturing pathway into a lifelong relationship with Jesus. We will lead our kids into a growing relationship with Christ by creating an environment in which they are encouraged to pursue a friendship with God, make friends with good people, and understand their God given gifts and begin to use them positively.
Sunday Morning
Children are a very important part of our worship services at 9:00 am and 11:00 am and we encourage children to attend worship with their families.
Elementary age children serve as worship leaders; they serve as crucifers (cross carriers), acolytes, greeters, ushers, choir members and communion servers.
Kid Connection
Our Children's Church program, "Kid Connection", is available for children who are 3 years old through 2nd grade. It is held in the Youth Lounge upstairs.
Kid Connection Schedule for each service::
8:45 - Children are dismissed after the Children's Moment, escorted upstairs for Kid Connection, and then escorted to Sunday School at 10:00.
9:00 - Parents need to bring their children upstairs at 9:00 (before the service starts) or after the children's dismissal at around 9:15. They are escorted to Sunday School at 10:00.
11:00 - Children are dismissed after the Chilren's Moment and escorted upstairs. After the service, parents need to go upstairs to retrieve their children.
Nursery care is available at all three worship services and during Sunday School for infants through 2yrs. Room is located in last room on the right in hallway from main sanctuary.
Worship Bags
Reader and Non-Reader Worship bags are available for children at all services. These bags contain items such as:
-Chalkboards and chalk
-Crayons and coloring pages
-Children's Bulletins and activity pages based on the scripture message
-Easy reader books and chapter books
-Seasonal magnet characters

Product Care
All of our footwear has been manufactured using the finest quality leathers and trims, some of which are delicate and require special care and maintenance. Slight marks and variations in the surface colour and texture should not be considered as faults as they are part of the nature of leather and suede.
Here at ZOMP, we care about our shoes, below are some methods of prolonging the life of your shoes.
Leather Shoes
Dirt and dust should be removed before cleaning with a neutral leather conditioner such as Zorbel.
Metallic Shoes
Metallic shoes have a foil finish that is laminated onto the upper. The foil will naturally wear off with any abrasion.
Suede and Nubuck Shoes
Suede is a delicate material that needs care and attention. Be wary of getting suede shoes wet! If they do get wet, let them dry naturally (not in front of a heater) then brush delicately with a suede brush. Also use a suede brush to remove dirt from the surface of the shoes.
Spraying suede and nubuck shoes with a waterproofer regularly is highly recommended.
Fabric Shoes
Remove excess dust and dirt and then clean with a foam fabric cleaner. Leave to dry naturally.
Beaded / Embellished Shoes
Beads, crystals, gems and stitching may be damaged or lost if caught or snagged. Gems and beads are fixed securely, but we cannot guarantee they will remain attached. These shoes are extremely delicate in nature and great care should be taken to avoid any abrasion whilst wearing.
Heel tips often wear down quickly or come away from the heel; they are likened to a button falling off a shirt and can be replaced quickly and easily. Watch for excessive wear on heel tips, we strongly advise you replace the heel tips once they have worn through, BEFORE wearing into the heel. This will allow you to wear your shoes for longer and prevent damaging the heel structure.
Leather Soles
We advise you to get a "TOPY" (rubber) sole to protect the sole once worn in. This will lengthen the life of your shoes and protect them from water damage, especially boots.
Crackled Leather
Crackled leather can be delicate and cracks can further appear and become deeper and more pronounced with wear. This is not a fault but an aging characteristic of the treatment on the leather.
Pony Hair Leather
Pony hair leather is delicate in nature and if scuffed or scraped may damage the appearance and cause loss of fur. This is a natural product and therefore not seen as a fault. To clean, wipe down with dry/mildly damp cloth.
Throughout its life velvet can become crushed and loose its sheen. Like all shoes, regular care is required to maintain its distinct texture and finish. Use a water and stain protector regularly- we recommend Waproo. Water and liquid can stain velvet easily, act quickly! Avoid high exposure to sunlight as it will affect the colour. Store your velvet shoes in a shoe bag/inside their box, in a cool, dry area to protect from dust and moisture.
A selection of shoe care products are avaialable for purchase online here.

Domestic cleaners have been known to be very efficient in their work providing the required level of cleanliness within the shortest time. This is as a result of the professional training they undergo as part of the preparation for the job. They have mastered the art of speedy cleaning so as to make each cleaning venture as profitable as possible.
Beneficiaries of the services see their homes cleaned for them in the most professional manner at an agreed upon fee. This may seem like an extra expense since everyone is supposed to be responsible for the cleanliness of his or her own home. However, what professional cleaners do is take on this responsibility for those homeowners who are too busy or would like to concentrate on other more important matters such as their jobs or studies. They provide a quick and convenient shortcut to a clean home.
Learning how such cleaners are able to clean so fast and so efficiently is very important since through this knowledge, you are able to learn how to clean your house better, and you can also use this knowledge to rate a new cleaner and tell if they are suited for the job.
Domestic Cleaners Are Fast
Domestic cleaners are usually able to clean so fast because the first of all do not waste any time, they say time is money and for them surely it is. The shorter time they spend on a particular job the more time they create for the next job. This means that when cleaning time begins, it is all systems go.
A house cleaner comes well dressed for the job they are about to undertake, which means their attire is comfortable and does not hinder them from performing the scrubbing where required. They also wear sufficient protective clothing too. A cleaner should invest in the proper tools required for the different cleaning they undertake. This also involves detergents and mixed cleaning agents for the best clean.
For home cleaning to be efficient, the area to be cleaned has to be properly prepared in advance. This means that any papers or materials lying on the floor need to be picked so as to reduce any hindrance to the cleaning process. When you hire domestic cleaners to clean your home, it is your responsibility to ensure the area they are coming to clean is ready.
Domestic cleaners through Domestic Workers SA usually arrange all their tools in advance, which reduce the time spent going up and down looking for a single tool and hence increases their efficiency since they are then able to work with very limited distractions and make use of every moment to move the cleaning process further.
Teamwork is very important when it comes to such work; two hands are always better than one. It is for this reason that a domestic cleaner should always have an extra hand. These are some of the ways that cleaners are able to do their cleaning in the shortest time.

We've long known that Torquay is a fantastic choice for a UK staycation. Basking on the world-famous English Riviera, with Paignton and Brixham alongside, it offers fantastic all year round holidays for everyone, is surrounded by beautiful beaches and stunning countryside, and is within a UNESCO-recognised Global Geopark.
Its attractions have been officially recognised by TripAdvisor, which named Torquay as the UK's top seaside resort – an award that's very much worth having: "These awards are based on millions of reviews and ratings by those that really matter – travellers themselves," said TripAdvisor spokesperson James Kay. "Torquay's strong showing, the highest of any town in the UK, is testament to the unquestionable appeal of this seaside destination."
With events and festivals going on all year round, attractions galore, bundles of beauty spots, oodles of outdoor activities, and the wonderful sea to harvest for excellent food, plus a huge range of accommodation, it's no surprise that it's seen as the heart of the British seaside holiday.
Torquay Harbour by Nicolau Pestana
Torquay's hugely popular with families and anyone looking for a fun-filled time and beautiful beaches. Animal-lovers will enjoy Paignton Zoo – home to some of the planet's rarest and most amazing creatures, including gorillas, giraffes, lions, tigers and rhinos. Or try Living Coasts, an award-winning coastal zoo which is home to a magnificent array of marine life from around the world – as well as Devonian seals and otters. Scary-yet-exciting is Kents Cavern, a labyrinth of stone age caves which offers tours and hands-on activities, making it great for both kids and adults. Fans of (fun!) history will also enjoy the Victorian journey at Bygones, whilst Babbacombe Model Village has to be experienced for the detail and thought that's gone into it – and because even the smallest child gets to feel like a giant there!
And if you're looking for a fun way to appreciate the whole of Torquay, hop onto the English Riviera Wheel, which will show you spectacular scenes from a great height – or take a boat trip around the bay.
Having the famous harbour and fish market of Brixham nearby means that Torquay has lots of amazing food on offer. There are few things as nice as watching the boats with a fresh South Devon crab (one of the local specialties) sandwich in hand – except perhaps a big local fish and chips with a pint of beer in a cosy pub.
Foodie visitors can take a tour of Brixham Fish Market or visit Occombe Farm, a working organic show farm with exhibits and activities, before visiting a local restaurant to taste what they've seen. Great places to try local seafood include The Cary Arms, Hanbury's (award-winning fish and chips), No 7 Fish Bistro, and The Harbour Light Restaurant – but there are many more to choose from.
Of course, high on the must-visit list for foodies in Torquay is Simon Hustone's Michelin-starred The Elephant. And do catch TorqEat in May, if you're a fan of excellent food festivals in beautiful locations – and who isn't?
Think of the Devon coast and of course you think of watersports – and there are plenty of watersports companies around Torquay who are only too happy to help you get out in the ocean, whether that's by offering advice, lessons or equipment hire, and whether you want to go surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, coasteering, or take part in (almost) 101 other watersports.
But of course, you don't have to get wet to enjoy the coast around Torquay. The area is a UNESCO-recognised Global Geopark, and there are beautiful walks to take within it, whether that's along the South West Coast Path, in Berry Head National Nature Reserve, along one of the beautiful nearby beaches or wherever your feet might take you.
Torquay is the birthplace of crime writer Agatha Christie, and the whole resort is mecca for fans of her work. Christie buffs can visit her holiday home, the beautifully restored mansion house Greenway, walk the Agatha Christie Mile, and follow the Agatha Christie Literary Trail. There's even an Agatha Christie experience via steam train or vintage bus to Greenway.
While you're out and about do pop over to nearby Cockington Village – nothing to do with Agatha Christie but it's one of the prettiest chocolate-box village you'll ever have seen.
Going to a show is a popular way to pass a Torquay evening – and there are a few to choose from: take a look at the programmes of the Princess Theatre, The Little Theatre, the Palace Theatre in Paignton and Babbacombe Theatre.

I AM LITTLE RED is the brain-child of Linda Cabot, a key funder of I AM JANE DOE. Linda thought the documentary film would be an ideal vehicle to create awareness and dialogue about online child-sex trafficking. However, Linda was concerned that the film would not reach those who truly were in need. The children themselves. Particularly girls. "We really need to think about prevention as an overall goal of this project," Linda said. "How about an animated short?" Linda's foresight catalyzed a creative dream team, which includes Academy Award-nominee Jessica Chastain, Alec Sokolow (Academy Award-nominee for Toy Story ), Gabriel Osorio and Pato Escala, the creative dynamo from Punkrobot (and winners of the 2016 Academy Award for Best Animated Short), and, most importantly, 10 survivors of sex-trafficking aged 14-21 from My Life My Choice who co-wrote the script for IAM LITTLE RED.
I AM LITTLE RED is a 10-minute animated short aimed at children most at-risk for sex trafficking (e.g. foster-care, runaway, LBGTQ, homeless, and adopted children), with the goal of prevention and awareness. The film, narrated by Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain (English) and Aislinn Derbez (Spanish), animated by Academy Award winners Gabriel Osorio and Pato Escala from Punkrobot, and written by 10 survivors of sex trafficking (aged 14-21) along with Alec Sokolow (Academy Award nominated writer of Toy Story) and Mary Mazzio, is a contemporary re-imagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. I AM LITTLE RED addresses the four tactics a "wolf" (trafficker/pimp) will typically use to lure a Little Red off her path.

June 12-16, 2017
Berkeley, California, USA
Women's 21st Century Leadership
Growing scientific consensus has emerged to understand why women's and men's career paths continue to diverge in the modern workplace in both predictable and surprising ways. This module will examine the state of gender equality, identify the unique approaches that women use to solve pressing social problems, and equip women with the leadership tools needed to achieve their highest potential.
Pre-work: Students will be required to complete an online assessment one month prior to the commencement of the course. Customized feedback will be distributed during the module.
Content Outline: While women have made substantial gains in the business world, today's workplace has yet to fully embrace female forms of power and leadership, nor leverage the unique perspective and strengths that women can bring to the table.
With more women in the workforce than ever before –- and even more joining top leadership ranks -– the need for women's voices to be heard has never been greater. This course is specifically designed to support your development so that you can reach your leadership potential.
This course is designed by women for women. Taking learning beyond the usual stereotypes, our program strikes the ideal balance between evidence-based learning and reality-based knowledge regarding women and their leadership potential. You will learn to over-write outdated scripts about power that have historically produced deep ambivalence in high-potential, rising star women. You will also learn to recognize common (and stubborn) barriers to women's advancement and, perhaps most importantly, you will be equipped with new tools to combat these obstacles.
Course topics include:
Power and Leadership in the 21st Century
Gender Differences and Similarities: Separating Fact from Fiction
Bringing Your Authentic Self to Work
Strengthening Your Voice
Win-Win Negotiation
Navigating Your Social Network
Designing Optimal Workplaces for a Gender Diverse Workforce
Setting Off on a Path to Success
You will gain a new level of confidence and greater sense of ownership over your own leadership potential. They will hear firsthand from high-ranking female guest speakers from top Silicon Valley companies, and learn to identify your own individual leadership style, better diagnose tricky workplace situations that women commonly face, master powerful negotiation tactics, and set a path for professional success.
The course is based on cutting-edge behavioral science and validated by leading practitioners. It is comprised of a series of daily experiential exercises that is designed to foster both self-insight and peer feedback. Finally, it is focused on results—you will walk away having developed a new set of diagnostic skills to measure the value that you create around you as a leader.
Module format and assessment:
Students will participate in a group project that will gain deeper insights into how women can best tackle the unique challenges that they face in the workplace as we work towards the greater good and solve the most pressing global and local problems facing our societies.
The project will be assessed based on professionalism, and depth of insights. Groups will be assigned in advance of the module and will be required to begin collaboration on their project before the week commences.
Groups will be required to present their project at the end of the week.
At least 50% of the week will be based in the classroom with the remainder consisting of company visits and teamwork on the assigned projects.
Lead Faculty:
Laura Kray
Laura Kray is the Warren E. and Carol Spieker Professor of Leadership at the Walter A. Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley, where she has been on the faculty since 2002. Kray has published over 60 articles examining how gender, stereotypes, power, and status intersect to affect life experiences, including how women and men approach conflict resolution, morality, meaning making, and problem solving. Kray's research has been featured in a wide range of media outlets, including Washington Post, National Public Radio, Harvard Business Review, New York Times, Financial Times, Slate, Forbes, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Scientific American, Business Week, and Time.com. She is the founding director of the Women's Executive Leadership Program of the Center for Executive Education at UC Berkeley. She provides leadership training based on cutting-edge research to organizations across the globe. She teaches Negotiations to Full-time, Part-time, and Executive MBAs. This course teaches managers to appreciate how negotiating with others with whom we are interdependent is a frequent life activity and a key leadership skill; this course teaches managers how to be more effective and strategic in their decisions to compromise, compete, and collaborate with others.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," October 6, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: President Obama's statement that his policies are on the ballot is reverberating around the country, as you can imagine, for Republicans. Gallup has a new poll out, if this vote for the candidate sent is a message to President Obama, a message to support, 20 percent, message to oppose 32 percent. You can see the breakdown from 2010, which obviously was a big Republican pickup.
That phrase, that sound bite from President Obama is now used in a couple of ads, prominently featured, one in Kansas. And you look at the Real Clear Politics average of polls there. The independent Greg Orman is still leading Pat Robertson, you can see there the breakdown. And then the other place this ad is hitting hard is Kentucky with the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell running as you can see in the average of polls about four points up.
We're back with the panel. OK, A.B., you look at that Gallup poll, what message does that send to you?
A.B. STODDARD, ASSOCIATE EDITOR, THE HILL: Well, it's not going to be like 2010 because all those seats were won by Republicans. There are not that many that they can win again. If you look at the Senate, which is where they pick up a majority again, all year and particularly through the summer those Senate Democrats who represent states where Mitt Romney easily won in 2012 against President Obama, those candidates held leads through the summer, which was pretty significant. All of the durability of those leads is disappearing and the Republican candidates, the challengers, are now taking a good solid lead. That's a very bad sign, because what it says when President Obama in those very red states is now 12 points less popular than he was when he was re-elected is that Democrats are not going to get on the card on the vote. You see that in the polls, they're not motivated by any one issue. And they are all scared, they're all anxious, that vote is going to be depressed.
BAIER: Charles?
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Can you imagine if you are a Democratic candidate running in a tight race and your one great theme is "I'm not Obama," and trying to make the race a local race. Republicans of course are trying to nationalize it because of the unpopularity of Obama. And he comes out and he makes this statement. Alison Grimes in Kentucky has been saying over and over again, "I'm not Obama," and now of course he says this election is about my policies. So there now is the worst thing that could have happened to them when they are trying all to hang on.
And when you see the numbers you showed, in 2010, which was, as Obama said, a shellacking for Democrats, there was eight-point advantage for sending a message against Obama over sending a message in support. And now it's a 12-point advantage. This is a very bad environment. It's bad enough that Obama's presence would hurt these candidates. He never shows up in any of these states because no candidate wants him there. But now he has imposed himself with that statement in his speech. And I can only attribute it to a matter of pride on his part. It makes no political sense.
BAIER: Steve, what's not in these polls, we should point out, is the Democratic advantage in money and also in ground game in a lot of these states. And that doesn't factor in a lot of times when we look at these polls, and that's the real question mark as we come closer and closer to Election Day. As you look at these races, any race stick out to you?
STEVE HAYES, SENIOR WRITER, THE WEEKLY STANDARD: I think we are seeing, just as a general point, we are seeing the Democrats' advantage on money erode somewhat. It's tightening up. Republicans, but outside groups and the party structure is actually spending more money, raising more money. That gap is narrowing.
I think the race that strikes me as particularly interesting in light of our first discussion, first panel tonight, is in Arkansas where Senator Pryor thought that national security was going to be his ace in the hole against Tom Cotton, Representative Tom Cotton in trying to portray Cotton before he was really well known to voters across the state as this uber- hawk, somebody who was irresponsible. You had Harry Reid spending a ton of money in the state. And now, of course, the issue of environment has entirely changed where being a hawk in this environment when people are looking at beheadings on their evening news is a good thing, and you are seeing Pryor scramble to portray himself now as more hawkish.
BAIER: One place the Democrats have managed to take on that foreign policy challenge is North Carolina. A.B., Kay Hagan, it seems like she is kind of becoming the hawk in that state. Military votes aplenty. That's significant.
STODDARD: But she is also benefiting from the fact that her opponent, Thom Tillis, is the House speaker of the legislature there and it is wildly controversial in its record in the last year, 18 months. And so that's playing for her in a way, while these other Republican candidates really eclipse these Democratic incumbents, she is the one who was written off months ago as the one who was going to lose. And now she seems like the one who might hang on the best.
BAIER: That is it for the panel. But stay tuned to see a meteorologist and her visitor.

About Me:
My name is Amiee, I get my name spelled wrong all the time, so i'm pretty used to it though I will give you a hard time.
I am a Graphic Designer/Primary Engraver at a local trophy shop here in Virginia. That pretty much means I lay out the awards customer wants and I engrave them. I do my own graphic design on the side and I also paint with watercolors. I am also a huge nerd and enjoy Adventure Time, Pokemon, comic books, and Sailor Moon to name a few. I have a German/Australian Shepherd mix dog named Freya and a grey, striped cat named Odin. My goal so far is to be a decent Graphic Designer and to just live a happy life. I don't know what else to put here so I'm calling this done.
I like to write in both first person and third person limited. I enjoy writing just about anything and I enjoy tapping into my darker creative side. I really enjoy delving into personalities of characters and the psychology that makes them, well, them.
Activity:Haven't done Forum Roleplay in a long time. I have a full time job as a graphic designer/primary engraver at a trophy & award shop, plus I try to do painting and graphic work outside of my job. I also have a German/Australian shepherd that is needy and very energetic. Activity probably slow while I learn stuff.

Folks, I am beyond thrilled to be included in The Struggle Anthology. There are 27 writers and poets in this anthology, and all proceeds go to a cause.
The Struggle was released early yesterday morning. This morning I got my kids off to school and fired up my laptop, deciding I would NOT spend the day refreshing The Struggle on Amazon… I'd just check. Once.
