An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world.
Based on the novel written by Stephen Chbosky, this is about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs. The introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors, Sam and Patrick, who welcome him to the real world.
Charlie is a shy teenager without friends that has just joined the high-school. He misses his best friend, who had committed suicide, and he writes letters to an imaginary friend telling his feelings. Further, Charlie has a mental illness problem in his past. Soon Charlie befriends the veterans Patrick, who is gay, and his stepsister Sam and they become best friends. Charlie wants to be a writer and he also becomes the favorite student of his teacher of literature, Mr. Anderson, who lends him books. Sam and Patrick introduce Charlie to their friends and Charlie falls in love with Sam, but he does not have self-confidence to date her. Charlie discovers a new world and feels happy with his friends, and he dates their common friend Mary Elizabeth. But when they end their relationship, Patrick asks Charlie to stay away from them for a while and soon he triggers his mental illness again. He goes to the hospital where a doctor finally discloses the origin of his problem.
As a freshmen in High School, Charlie, portrayed by Logan Lerman, struggles with bullies, depression, bad influences and girls. Based on the book written by Stephan Chbosky, the Perks of Being a Wallflower thrives as a film. While Charlie wants to survive high school, he forces himself to participate in school functions, to prevent himself from falling back into his depression. The not-so-typical teenager finds himself being taken under the wing by a few seniors, and has never been so excited to have friends again. Finally being happy, Charlie experiments with drugs, sex and the party scene, but underlying problems from the past cause Charlie to spiral out of control.
Charlie was bullied and largely friendless in middle school for being a shy bookworm, the same which he vows not to happen as he enters his freshman year in high school, although he will have to navigate those hallways on his own, as who was his only true friend, Michael, committed suicide just before the summer. Charlie's year does not start well as the only person whom he seems to connect with is his Advanced English teacher, Mr. Anderson, who can see that Charlie is the one person in the class who truly does enjoy literature for literature's sake and not just as a means to a good grade. However, Charlie is eventually befriended by some seniors, step-brother and sister Patrick and Sam, and their small group of friends, Mary Elizabeth, Alice and Bob who all consider themselves misfits. Even with this accepting group, Charlie admits he still doesn't know how to act around people, a misstep which could threaten those friendships. If a misstep is to occur, it probably would concern his growing attraction for Sam, who is dating a college student named Craig. All Charlie does know is that his blackouts, letters he writes to his "friend", and specific flashbacks - his conscious and subconscious coping mechanisms - have lessened the more he has spent time with these friends. But he may not be able to escape fully his past, specifically issues about who he considered the person he loved most in the world before meeting Sam, namely his now deceased Aunt Helen.
- The movie opens with Charlie (Logan Lerman) writing a letter to an anonymous pen pal, discussing his upcoming first day in high school. On his first day, he is harassed by classmates but befriends his English teacher, Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd).
Charlie attends a school football game alone and notices the flamboyant Patrick (Ezra Miller), who is the only senior in his freshman shop class. Patrick asks Charlie to sit with him. They are joined by Patrick's stepsister Sam (Emma Watson), and Charlie immediately notices her beauty. Upon arriving home, he witnesses Candace's boyfriend hitting her, something Charlie is especially sensitive about as his Aunt Helen (Melanie Lynskey) was also abused. Candace persuades him not to tell their parents. Charlie dances with Sam and Patrick at homecoming and goes to a party with them afterwards. There, he meets their other friends, Bob, Mary Elizabeth, and Alice. He also sees Sam with her boyfriend Craig, which makes him jealous. He eats a pot brownie, and the group is amused by his observations. While in the kitchen, Charlie tells Sam that his best friend Michael shot himself last May. He then goes upstairs to the bathroom, leaving Sam shocked.
Upstairs, Charlie sees Patrick and Brad (Johnny Simmons), the school's star football player, kissing. Patrick tells Charlie that Brad doesn't want anyone to know about their relationship (as his father would disapprove) and asks him to keep it a secret. Still high, Charlie agrees. Later, Sam whispers to Patrick about what Charlie has gone through and they welcome him in their group of friends.
While driving him home, Sam hears a song from the radio and demands that Patrick drive through a tunnel. She stands up in the back of the pickup truck and sways like she's dancing. Again, Charlie is stunned by her beauty.
As Christmas draws closer, Charlie helps Sam to study for her SATs and their friends participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange. On the last night of the exchange, Sam takes Charlie into her room and shows him her gift for him, a typewriter. The two start talking about first kisses. Charlie says that he has never kissed a girl, and Sam reveals that her first kiss was from her father's boss, who was molesting her. She tells Charlie that she wants his first kiss to be with somebody who loves him, and the two kiss.
Charlie's Birthday(which is on Christmas Eve) arrives, and he remembers his Aunt Helen, who died on the same night in a car accident after getting him a present. Later, at a New Year's Eve party, he takes LSD and has more flashbacks to the night his aunt died. He is eventually found passed out in the snow by the police.
Charlie attends the Sadie Hawkins dance with Mary Elizabeth. Afterwards, they go to her house and make out. She then declares that he is her boyfriend. He has no interest in her but continues the relationship because he doesn't know how to break up with her.
While playing truth or dare at a party, Patrick dares Charlie to kiss the prettiest girl in the room, and he kisses Sam rather than Mary Elizabeth. Both girls are enraged, and Patrick tells Charlie to stay away until things cool down.
Weeks pass and his friends are still ignoring him. In addition, his flashbacks to the night his aunt died are getting worse. Bob tells Charlie that Brad's father caught him and Patrick kissing. Brad comes to school with a bruise on his face but claims he was jumped in a parking lot. Patrick and Brad fight in the cafeteria after Brad calls him a "faggot." Brad's friends then begin to beat up Patrick, until Charlie intervenes. Afterwards, he reconciles with his friends.
Patrick is upset after breaking up with Brad and he and Charlie become closer. One night, Patrick kisses Charlie to no reaction, then breaks down because of his unhappiness. Sam breaks up with Craig after finding out he has been cheating on her.
Graduation nears and Sam is accepted to Penn State. After her going away party, Charlie helps her pack. Sam then asks Charlie why he never asked her out. After several heartfelt confessions, they begin to kiss, but Charlie pulls away when Sam touches his inner thigh. She asks him what's wrong, but he tells her that nothing's wrong and continues to kiss her.
The next day, Charlie is unnerved as he watches Sam leave for school. When he arrives at his empty home, he begins to have a breakdown, flashing back to the memory of his Aunt Helen touching his thigh. He calls Candace and tells her it's his fault their aunt died, and that maybe he wanted her to die. Candace tells her friends to dispatch police on their house. Before Charlie can hurt himself, the police arrives and he blacks out.
He wakes up in the hospital. His physician, Dr. Burton (Joan Cusack) explains to Charlie's parents (Dylan McDermott and Kate Walsh) that his Aunt Helen was sexually abusing him, and that Charlie repressed the memory because he blamed himself for her death. After Charlie is discharged from the hospital a few weeks later, Sam and Patrick visit him and take him to their favorite restaurant.
They once again drive into the tunnel, and Sam tells Charlie that she finally found the song that was playing the last time they were there. Charlie climbs into the back of the truck and reminisces about life as whole. He kisses Sam, stands up and screams as they exit the tunnel.

This major reorganisation which brought the Class 25's to Laira occurred at the end of the summer timetable in October. The first Class 25's to be transferred totalled ten and were 5180, 7573-7575, 7577, 7656, 7657, & 7675-7677, a mixture of boilered and non-boiler equipped locomotives. All were transferred in from LMR depots except for 5180 & 7657 from Cardiff.
The end of July saw the Class 25's make their first appearances in the West Country, to replace the NBL Class 22's, similar in nature to the Class 25's introduction to the South Wales area during December 1970. On July 30th 5180 was noted arriving at St Blazey, followed by 5179 on August 19th, bound for Laira. With these machines, and later 5181 and 7657 (September 3rd) crew training commenced. There still remained thirteen Class 22's 6308/19/22/26/30/33/34/36-39/43/56 with ten diagrams to cover. The St Blazey turns visited St Dennis Junction and the Retew branch, Tavistock Jcn and Boscarne, Goonbarrow Jcn, Drinnick Mill and Lostwithiel and the Truro area. Laira turns went to Keyham and Liskeard, Plymstock and lastly Devonport. The Newton Abbot locomotive visited Heathfield and Stoneycombe. Exeter turns went out to Barnstaple Junction and Torrington, Tiverton Junction, Hemyock and Chard Junction. The last turn ran out to Okehampton. A number of these turns were not daily.
Warship D827 hauled D7676 and D7677 from Bristol Bath Road to Laira, departing at 15.00 on Sunday 3rd October 1971.
On October 5th St Blazey received 7575 & 7676 for taking up further Class 22 duties, unfortunately 7575 was defective and returned to Laira for repair. Its replacement was 5180, these two handling the trips to Dennis Junction, Retew and Goonbarrow Jct.
During the last quarter of 1971 the few Class 25's present were working alongside the dwindling Class 22's. There were still not enough Class 25's available to retire the hydraulics, the Class 25's were still not cleared for the Drinnick Mill branch and crew training was still continuing. Part of the shortage was due to 7573 spending a month out of service before being moved to Laira for repair and the use of Laira based 7574 at Bristol for crew training. One of the Laira turns involved the 05.55 Keyham – Liskeard and related trips, it then assisted the 22.20 Presflos from Plymouth to Newton Abbott before returning west in the early morning hours with the Severn Tunnel Junction – Plymouth car train.
One stationary task for a boiler equipped locomotive, frequently a Class 25, at Exeter in the 1970's was heating the sleeper. In those days the 21:05 Penzance - Paddington (depart Exeter 01:42) and the 23:45 Paddington - Penzance (arrive Exeter approx 04:30) conveyed a single sleeper that was attached/detached at Exeter St Davids. At about 10:30 every night the sleeper would be put into platform 6 by the stairs and the locomotive would steam heat it until about 01:30. With a Class 25 ticking over for three hours the stairs and overbridge soon became thick with engine fumes. A similar thing happened with the down train.
Arriving in January were 7502-7509, these were all ex-Midland machines and were partially used to replace 5180, 7656, 7657, 7676 & 7677, which were transferred out to other Western Region depots, principally Bristol & Cardiff.
With effect from May 1st the information below covers the Exeter/Barnstaple/Newton Abbot area trips under Target 7B70 (LA 92) Monday - Friday. Class 25's were booked for this diagram, though Classes 35 and 42 could also be turned out for these trips.

An interesting summer Saturdays diagram operating on the Western Region brought double headed Class 25s to Cornwall between May 6th and September 23rd. The diagram started with the previous day's 7B34 19.40 Bristol Temple Mills - Ponsandane freight, leaving Plymouth at 02.05 and arriving Ponsandane at 07.13. They were then booked to work the 1E21 10.30 Penzance - Bradford service to Plymouth arriving at 12.30, light engines to Laira and then the 7B31 18.20 Plymouth Friary - Par freight.
Following the failure of the dmu on May 15th's 13.55 Exeter – Barnstaple and 16.10 return 7508 was attached, however the diesel also failed before taking out the 17.40 to Newton Abbot, a fresh dmu being provided.
On June 10th the through Paddington – Barnstaple service was hauled by 7573 & 7647 beyond Exeter. This was at a time of a serious shortage of motive power in the west, a number of Hymeks & Warships having been reinstated to cover the shortages.
During the summer months several Class 25's transferred away, 7675 in May, 7509 in July and 7503, 7504 & 7577 during October. Again these transfers out were to either Bristol or Cardiff.
On August 17th the Barnstaple – Exeter Riverside freight was powered by 7624 and 7038 & 7085, the two Hymeks had been used for bridge testing on the Meeth branch. On September 2nd front line duty befell 7574 & 7575 when they were noted leaving Penzance in charge of the 'Cornishman', presumably caused by a shortage of Type 4's. I never had the pleasure of this route behind a pair of Type 2's, but now with the Type 2's operating this far west it was in theory quite possible to travel from Penzance to Wick throughout behind Sulzer powered locomotives, and if good fortune was with you the journey segments might be made entirely behind Type 2's.
Laira held an Open Day on September 23rd, amongst a variety of exhibits were 163, 7506 & 6544. A notable long distance working for pairs of Class 25's into the area was the Hope (Earles Sidings) – Exeter Central cement, on 23rd 7501 & 5239 were in charge of this.
Class 31's were now also passed for workings to Barnstaple, Torrington and Meeth. A revision of the workings in the Penzance area led to better turn round time for locomotives there, a Class 25 was available for duties from 11am to 3pm prior to its return east on the 15.25 to Exeter Riverside freight.
Further refinements included a St Blazey Class 25 working light to Truro for the 04.30 round trip freight to Falmouth, coming back from Truro on the 07.28 to St Blazey. Then it was off to Drump Lane for the 10.05 to Penzance, the Hayle Wharf trip, the Drump Lane shunt, Chacewater cement traffic before ending with the 17.44 Drump Lane – Truro and 19.08 Truro – St Blazey. Nightime working for a pair of Class 25's included the 20.44 Par – Plymouth Friary, returning at 22.35 to Truro, then light to Par for the 02.45 to St Blazey. The arrival of six Class 46's at Laira did not bode well for the four remaining Warships, though the newly arriving Peaks were intended for stone train workings.
New arrivals in December were 7624, 7625, 7656 & 7675-7677. These were to replace 7502, 7505, 7507 & 7508 - all these transfers were internal within the Western Region.
During 1973 there were no new Class 25 arrivals, but several were transferred away, 7625 in May and 7506 & 7624 in September, again these were transferred away to other Western Region sheds.
Five Class 25s' were required for local jobs in Cornwall, being needed for trips to Drinnick Mill, Goonbarrow, St Dennis Jct, Boscarne Jct, Falmouth Goods, Penzance pilot (morning only), Hayle Wharf. Drump Lane & Truro were handled by the daily Penzance – St Blazey freight. Liskeard, Burngullow & Carne Point were handled by a Tuesday – Friday diagram. In the Exeter area two Class 25's worked turns to Torrington & Barnstaple, in the evening they were combined at Exeter to handle a stone working to Westbury, where after refuelling they return to Exeter with a return working.
The 08.00 Bristol – Plymouth passenger on November 22nd was noted west of Exeter behind 5230 (failed?) and 400. Exeter was also host to foreign Class 25's (& 31's) arriving with sugar beet from the ER, 7626 was noted on 1st, 25031 (2nd) & 5251 (6th).
The afternoon 4B10 16.00 Bristol – Plymouth parcels gained a reputation for unusual combinations of motive power, perhaps the result of a dead head move, on May 2nd it was hauled by 7588 & 1064! It was a Bristol turn and arrived at Plymouth at about 19:30 and then piloted the 18:00 Penzance - Bristol back to Bristol.
25080 was called upon to rescue 50042 and its train at Taunton on June 15th after the Class 50 became a total failure. Departure was over an hour late, no doubt the climb up Wellington Bank challenged the Class 25, though Exeter had a substitute locomotive on arrival!
Unusual visitors to Exeter on September 5th were 25083 & 25002 on the morning freight from Bescot. Five days later sister machine 25022 failed at Uffculme whilst working the Hemyock milk tanks, 31193 came to rescue from Exeter. The Class 25's were frequently found on the Tiverton Jct – Acton milk tanks, often in pairs.
Arrivals in October were 25171 & 25172 & 25238, again all internal transfers from Cardiff.
The continuing shortage of power on the WR allowed many strangers to reach deep into WR territory, the 18.00 Riverside – East Usk frequently featuring pairs of Class 25's, November 6th produced 25276 & 25089, 14th had 25193 & 25073 whilst on November 22nd the 20.40 Bradford – Plymouth parcels arrived behind 25134.
During November two local freights became derailed, on 2nd the 6B59 14.57 Ponsandane - Riverside saw a number of wagons derailed at Totnes, 25219 was the locomotive, whilst on 27th the 7B16 13.35 Bridgwater - Gloucester freight with 25152 in charge saw wagons derailed at Highbridge.
1975 was a busy year for Laira's Class 25 fleet with considerable turnover of the locomotives, there were still some internal Western Region transfers, additionally other locomotive transfers were of an inter-regional nature. A total of seventeen Class 25's were transferred in, and thirteen were transferred out during 1975.
Laira allocated 25063 made an historic trip on a gloriously sunny February 26th when it traversed the long closed Barnstaple - Ilfracombe line with an inspection saloon. This would be the last train to travel the route. The line had closed to regular passenger traffic from October 5th 1970. Dismantling of the route took place shortly afterwards.
Departing in May were 25171 & 25172.
Departing in June was 25238.
25094 removed seventeen milk tanks from the Hemyock branch on August 20th, the Unigate Factory having recently converted to road haulage, the only tanks remaining were for emergency use until the branch closed completely on October 31st.
In the early hours of August 28th the Laira breakdown crane was brought to Exmouth by 25098 to assist in the rerailing of dmu 51090 which had run through the buffer stops on the previous afternoon. Also on this date the 7B71 04.45 Riverside - Barnstaple behind 25091 suffered wagon derailment between Lapford & Eggesford. August 30th saw 25220 stationed at Par to provide assistance to the heavy summer trains working over the Newquay branch. Assistance was given to the 08.45 Newquay – Manchester behind 45010, returning with 1063 & twelve coaches prior to both working the 13.22 Newquay – Paddington.
Arrivals in August were 25077, 25091, 25092, 25093, 25094, 25096, 25098. departing were 25274, 25275, 25306, 25326, 25327. The locomotives in the 25091 - 25098 batch were some of the most transferred locomotives on BR at this time, as it was they all would only remain at Laira for three months before heading off to the Scottish Region.
Arrivals in October were 25063, 25169, 25170, 25215-25217, departures were 25091, 25092, 25093, 25094, 25096, 25098
October 4th found 25093 & 25096 in charge of the 09.35 Penzance – Wolverhampton working throughout. With the rundown of the Western's starting to accelerate, the use of a pair of 25's on such a working would have at the time seemed an abomination to a diesel hydraulic enthusiast, but now in hindsight the thought of a pair of Class 25's, and non-boilered ones at that, with a good sized train running through those Cornish valleys, up and down the Devon banks, across Somerset, then up Filton Bank, racing around the Cotswolds before the challenge of Lickey - oh happy memories for those fortunate enough to have ridden those services, the like of which can now never be repeated.
Four duties from St Blazey shed were now handled by Class 25's. One covered trips to Bodmin Road/Wadebridge then clay trains between Liskeard and Moorswater, with an afternoon run to Hayle Wharf. Two locomotives worked between St Blazey & Drinnick Mill, including trips to Parkandillac, Pontsmill & Goonbarrow and Carbis & Meledor Mill. The fourth covered control trains in the St Blazey area. Also included was a round trip night working to Exeter. On November 21st 25217 was noted between Aller Jct and Newton Abbot hauling/propelling a number of test vehicles.
Arrivals in November were 25168, departing was 25077
During 1976 the turnover of Class 25's dropped, with four machines departing and four arriving - the departing machines were sent out of the Western Region whilst the new arrivals at Laira were from within the Region.
Departing in January was 25063 & 25168.
From 1976 the withdrawal of the remaining Class 52's gave the Class 25's more work. On a summer Saturday St Blazey had a pair booked to run light engine to Penzance, work to Plymouth and back, and then return light engine to St Blazey. The Penzance foreman commented that they would avoid it if possible and try and cover the turn with a Class 46. At this period they also worked the morning Paignton - Plymouth train and late afternoon return. This was normally about five coaches and a single Class 25 would struggle over Dainton. In July and August the load was increased to about 8-10 and it was often worked by a pair of Class 25s This was probably their finest hour on regular passenger work in the West Country.
Arriving in May was 25052, 25080 & 25227.
In the Exeter area Class 25 diagrams included the afternoon Chard Jct – Exeter milk train, then a local evening Exeter – Newton Abbott passenger, using the stock from a Waterloo service. A pair of Class 25's also handled the overnight St Blazey – Temple Mills freight as far as Exeter.
Departing in July was 25169.
Kingmoor's 25200 arrived at Exeter on August 13th with the regular freight from Severn Tunnel Jct, the next day it was in use on passenger services over the Barnstaple branch! (There is a view of this working at Crediton towards the bottom of this page). Also noted passing through Exeter this day was the Nottingham – Paignton behind 25211 & 25029.
At the end of August 24054 & 24142 were pulled from the deadlines at Basford Hall and sent to the WR for further use as carriage heating units. On August 31st they arrived at Exeter as part of a milk train, their eventual destination being Laira.
Arriving in October was 25063.
Departing in October was 25227.
Christmas at Tyne Yard found Laira's 25063 & 25220 a long way from home, laying over after having worked the 3E07 21.40 Bristol - Sunderland parcels of December 23rd.
The WR witnessed a number of double headed Class 25's during the summer season. On July 16th the 08.50 Birmingham - Paignton used 25159 & 25101, also returning with the ecs. A Plymouth - Old Oak Common parcels ran with 25225 & 50029. July 23rd brought 25284 & 25250 on the 12.20 Birmingham - Newquay as far as Plymouth. July 30th found two services behind double headed Type 2's, the 09.47 Nottingham - Paignton used 25187 & 25269 whilst the 12.20 Birmingham - Newquay had 25264 & 25210.
The local Round Table in the Barnstaple area ran a special on August 29th from Barnstaple to Meeth. The ten coaches were 'top & tailed' by 25223 & 25052! A Plymouth - Milan Polybulk train of Sept 2nd headed by 47510 and a Class 25 required the assistance of the fire brigade near Totnes after the Type 4 caught fire. The train eventually went forward behind the Class 25 and a Peak, with 47510 dumped at Newton Abbot awaiting removal to Crewe Works. The next day 25129 headed the 09.20 Paignton - Nottingham arriving at Birmingham some ninety minutes late, being replaced here by 46046. One can but wonder what this locomotive sounded and what the crews thought about it as it journeyed north, unfortunately losing time on this lengthy journey.
The West Country hosted a number of enthusiast specials during the early part of October. On October 9th 40081 & 40084 worked a special from Paddington to Exeter, here 25052 & 25223 took over for the run to Paignton, where D1062 was waiting for the short trip down to Kingswear. For the return trip the same locomotives worked their respective sections as outwards. A week later on October 16th 40081 & 40083 worked a railtour from Paddington to Newton Abbott, here 33017 & 33022 worked a round trip to Par, with the Class 40's regaining the train at Newton Abbott for the run back to London. It had been planned to have a Deltic to work this railtour to Newton Abbott but their blacklisting at this time saw the Class 40's substituted.
Transfers during 1977 were few, during October 25063 moved to Crewe, followed by 25220 in November.
Arriving in March was 25206 & 25207.
Departing in March was 25216 & 25217.
March 5th was also a memorable day for the West Country as the Deltic Ranger railtour saw 55003 Meld haul the train from Paddington to Paignton. Western haulage had been planned from Paignton to Dartmouth but a washed out bridge on the preserved line prevented the planned itinerary from taking place. As a fine substitute 46003 made a round trip from Newton Abbott to Par before handing back the railtour to 55003 for its return to London. For the haulage enthusiasts amongst the railtour participants the use of 46003 may have been significant, it was damaged by fire four months later and subsequently withdrawn.
During April more Class 25 turns at St Blazey were turned over to other types, with Class 37/46/50 frequently replacing the Type 2's. 37142 & 37267 were crew training on the St Blazey - Newquay line, whilst a former Class 25 turn, the shunting at Hayle Wharf was now in the hands of a Penzance Class 08.
Arriving in May were 25048, 25057 & 25058.
Departing in May were 25170, 25215 & 25224. 25080 had been scheduled to move to Crewe but the transfer was cancelled, so 25080 spent one last summer in the West Country.
July 22nd found Newton Abbott host to 25276 & 25282 bringing up an ecs working from Paignton, previously used on an ex Birmingham working.
A surprising visitor on the 15.55 Bristol - Plymouth parcels on September 7th was Haymarket based 25011, which worked as far as Exeter, replaced here by 25155. However it continued its westward march by working the 19.30 Exeter - Paignton!.
September 23rd found 25245 & 25275 working a Birmingham New Street - Paignton relief .
On September 30th a railtour reached the West Country which had started from Derby the previous evening and travelled via the London area (West Ruislip - Greenford - Drayton Green Junction - Hanwell) before gaining the Western Region mainline, then proceeding via Bath and Bristol to Plymouth in charge of 25074 & 25073. At Plymouth 25080 took over for the run down to Bodmin General, then on to Boscarne Junction and Wadebridge. At noon 25080 started the long journey home, returning the railtour to Plymouth where 25073 & 25074 were waiting to take over for the lengthy ride back to the Midlands. At Exeter St Davids the railtour took the former LSWR route via Salisbury and Basingstoke to Reading before heading north. For the hardy enthusiasts who survived the whole trip 25073 & 25074 provided them with just over 780 miles of memories, with another 76 miles provided by 25080.
The above railtour was one of the very last trains to reach Wadebridge. After the withdrawal of the passenger services in 1967 the line had remained open for freight traffic. The last freight operated on September 2nd 1978, the line being completely closed two days later. The final special passenger train ran on December 17th 1978 when a DMU made several trips from Bodmin. In better times there was occasional fertiliser traffic to both Wadebridge and Bodmin. The St Blazey - Wenford Bridge trip was normally a Class 08, reversing at Bodmin Road, Bodmin General and Boscarne Junction, however if there was a heavy load to come out some of it would be left at Boscarne Junction and collected later by a Class 25.
There were no reallocations to the Laira Class 25 fleet during 1979.
January 30th found 25048 providing heat for the 18.05 Plymouth – Cardiff, with 50008 as the train engine, both were removed at Exeter by 45049.
On April 23rd the 7B19 17.05 Truro - St Blazey freight behind 25225 & 25207 became derailed between Truro & Burngullow, the locomotives remained on the track. The next day 25048 came to the rescue of 50045 after it failed on the 12.00 Plymouth – Paddington at Exeter, the Class 25 going as far as Westbury.
Additionally with regard to the above two views the Exeter gasworks had stopped production in 1971 following the introduction of North Sea gas and was demolished in 1973. Road tar had been produced as a by-product of the gas process. Once the gasworks had closed the tar was brought in by rail tankers. This was normally a Class 08 turn so the use of 25206 was quite rare. The warning notice needs to be updated!
On October 2nd 25135 worked a special Bristol – Plymouth to cover a late running service from the North West.
At the end of the summer timetable severe inroads were made to Laira's Class 25 allocation. During October 25058, 25206 & 25207 were transferred away whilst 25052, 25223 & 25225 were withdrawn. Laira kept one Class 25 for the St Blazey – Truro – Penzance trip working, by November 3rd this too had been taken over by a Class 37.
On October 5th a charter from Alfreton reached Exeter behind 45061 with 25223 & 25080 taking the train forward to Barnstaple.
25080 moved to Longsight during October.
During November the last two Class 25s were transferred out - 25048 to Bescot and 25057 to Longsight, bringing to a close a nine year stint for the Laira allocated Class 25s in sunny Devon & Cornwall.
The loss of Laira's allocation saw them beat a retreat from any further Cornish workings, whilst their most westerly appearances would now be Exeter arriving on freight turns.
Exeter - Barnstaple interlude
The picturesque branch running 38.75 miles from Exeter St Davids to Barnstaple provided the Class 25's with some regular passenger work. Although the boiler fitted examples were the preferred locomotives for the branch, there were frequent visits by Laira's non-boilered machines, with occasional visitors to Exeter also filling in on these services.
On the Barnstaple line there were two regular passenger turns. The first was the 04:05 Exeter - Barnstaple that was two coaches and newspaper and mail/parcels traffic loaded into some 4 wheel Fruit D vans retained for this turn. This returned as the 07:50 Barnstaple mixed (restricted to 45mph?). The other turn was the four coach set that worked the early Salisbury - Exeter service. This came in with a Class 33 which would then work the 10:10 to Waterloo and the set would work the 15.55 Exeter - Barnstaple using a Class 25. On it's return from Barnstaple a Class 33 would take over which would form the last service to Salisbury/Basingstoke. From about 1976 this became a regular Class 31 or 33 turn.
There was often doubleheading on the Barnstaple line if there was an unbalanced freight working. A regular on Sundays would be a Class 33 and Class 25 on the 11:15 Exeter - Barnstaple with the additional locomotive for use on an afternoon milk train.
The railway services in North Devon suffered during the era of the Beeching closures, the former London South Western (LSWR) route to Torrington closed to passengers during October 1965, the former Great Western line to Norton Fitzwarren closed in October 1966 whilst the former LSWR route to Ilfracombe survived a little longer, eventually succumbing during October 1970. The above view of 25080 and the view below of 25215 show the railway line still being in place west of Barnstaple Junction station in the direction of Bideford.
In the view below of 25215 the view looks roughly northwest across the Taw estuary to Chivenor & Braunton. 25215 stands on the remains of the line to Bideford, Torrington & Meeth. At the time of writing this (2010) the line ends almost exactly where 25080 is standing above with only one platform in use. All the line westwards has been taken up and turned into a pathway of some sort.
Dawlish Warren - Dawlish - Teignmouth
The railways of Devon & Cornwall present the railway traveller with several opportunites of an ocean view with probably none as spectacular as the length of line that runs between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth. This route was opened during 1846, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and routed along the coast to save costs with the added bonus of its use as a tourist attraction. Whilst it is most definately the latter, the lengthy seawall has presented the railway with a major item of continuous maintenance, the seawall being vulnerable to major winter storms and rising sea levels. In particular the storms of the winter of 1872/1873 created major breaches in the wall. Currently the wall does not have a wave-reflecting curve whilst sea spray and overwash often cause damage to the line and in particular Dawlish station.
For the westbound traveller the ocean vista opens up as the trains passes Langstone Rock, if the day is sunny another remarkable feature of this section of line becomes obvious - the colour of the rocks and cliffs is a bold red! The redness comes from its ferric oxide content affecting the layers of desert alluvial fan (New Red Sandstone deposits laid down in the Permian era), sandy breccias, with fragments of hard Culm sandstone and some quartz pebbles, all of which dips gently southeastwards.
Langstone Rock and the pedestrian footpath along the top of the seawall have allowed generations of railway enthusiasts (and others) to capture the passing railway scene. Most will probably remember it on the balmy dog days of summer, either on holidays to the West Country or enjoying a day trip from home towns far away.
During the summer months some of the Laira DMUs were doubled up to cope with the influx of holidaymakers. This would lead to a locomotive and stock turn with about three or four return trips between Exeter and Paignton/Newton Abbot during the course of the day (see views above!). With so many main line trains on a summer Saturday to Paignton there were few local services until the evening.
A regular Class 25 turn in the mid 1970's was working the stock off the 15:00 Waterloo - Exeter to Newton Abbot for servicing. The Class 33 that had worked the train in would return on the last train to Salisbury formed of the four coaches and a van that had arrived earlier in the day on the early morning service from Salisbury. This stock normally worked to Barnstaple and back in the afternoon. The 15:00 Waterloo stock would form a service to Newton Abbot calling at Dawlish and Teignmouth. On weekdays it departed at about 20:15, forming a connection off the 17:30 Paddington - Penzance 'The Golden Hind'. On Saturdays this train was timetabled later, so the Waterloo stock followed the Leeds - Plymouth, departing at about 20:45. Although the line from Exeter to Newton Abbot is flat the eight coach load was challenging for a Class 25.
The Class 25 locomotive hauled trains from Exeter to Paignton only operated in the summer months when some of the DMUs were doubled up. At the end of the summer timetable, in those days after the third week of September, the stock needed to be returned to Newton Abbot. This was achieved by combining the four coaches with the 15:00 Waterloo set making twelve coaches of about 410 tons. Although this happened only once a year it would be a good candidate for the heaviest passenger train booked for a single Class 25.
China Clay
When the Class 25's were allocated to Laira they were frequently seen working one of the more recognisable freight flows in Devon & Cornwall - clay traffic. There are two main types of clay. Ball clay was extracted at Meeth and the area around Marland in North Devon and Heathfield on the former Teign Valley branch from Newton Abbot. Ball clay is a bit like plasticine and was conveyed in four wheel wagons with tarpaulins. Some of this traffic went to Cornwall for export with china clay.
However the more familiar and major traffic flow was in Cornish China Clay. This was extracted from the area north of Par and St Austell, using high pressure hoses to force the clay out of the ground, this extraction method creates the moon-scape landscape in that area. The slurry then runs to the driers where it settles and then dries into a fine powder. It was then loaded into the four wheel wagons equipped with the raised bar for the tarpaulin, which ensured that any rain ran off the wagon and kept the clay dry. For the ball clay it was better to keep the clay damp so a tarpaulin with a puddle of water on it would be fine. The clay driers were mostly located on the two former branch lines to Newquay. The line from Par to Newquay remains open, the line from Burngullow near St Austell was closed to passengers but remained open for freight traffic to Parkandillack with a number of driers, including Drinnick Mill on the way. The main flow of traffic was from the driers to Carne Point near Fowey where the clay powder would be loaded into ships for export. This required a run-round at Lostwithiel for traffic from Par. China clay also went in hoods to Etruria, Stoke on Trent for the pottery industry and slurry to Sittingbourne for the paper industry. There was also a very heavy weekly train made up of Polybulk wagons to Zurich in Switzerland. This train frequently loaded to 1,000 tons and utilised a Class 47, frequently a Class 25 would assist to Newton Abbot, this was probably the heaviest train regularly worked by the Class 25's in the West Country. In the 1990s the flow to Irvine in Scotland started in the stainless steel tanks (silver bullets).

I thought the circles were straight & didn't notice it until I got ready to write the post. I have fixed it, but didn't re-take the picture. The cardstock looks a little orange on my screen, but is actually Berry Sorbet from PTI.
Today, I was reinking a Brilliant Blue ink pad & the reinker exploded ALL over the place. I have blue all over my hands. I got quite a few looks while I was in town today! Even though I have washed my hands 100 times, I still have blue on me. I've used baking soda & vinegar, I've tried finger nail polish remover, I've even tried Goo remover... it still is on my hands & rubs off onto everything I touch. White card + blue hands does not equal a good thing!!! *wink* BUT, the 1970's harvest gold marble counter top that the reinker spilled all over... yeah, it cleaned up nicely & doesn't look like anything happened!!!!
This card meets two of my goals for this year: 1) to use more of the things I have on hand. I received these butterflies from Wish Rak awhile ago. 2) to create general cards that I can have on hand to grab when someone is on my mind.
I have several challenges on my list that I hope to be able to work on tomorrow.
A card a day keeps the mojo flowin'... until tomorrow!

U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Ames, 99 U.S. 35 (1878)
United States v. Ames
1. A bond accepted by the court upon ordering the delivery to the claimant of property seized in admiralty is in the subsequent proceedings a substitute for the property, and the question whether a case is made for the recall of the property must be determined before a final decree on the bond is rendered in the district court or in the circuit court on appeal. Action on that question cannot be reviewed here.
2. A decree rendered on such a bond given with sureties by the claimant at the request and for the benefit of his firm, to which the property so delivered to him belonged, bars a suit against the other partners.
3. The fact that the adverse party had no knowledge touching the ownership of the property and that, by reason of the insolvency of the defendants, payment of the decree cannot be enforced affords, in the absence of fraud, misrepresentation, or mistake, no ground for relief in equity.
4. Conclusions of law are not admitted by a demurrer.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.

The Conversion of St. Paul William Congdon (1912)
But, while traveling near Fresno that morning on California Highway 99, my journey was interrupted by a gentle voice, which eventually got my attention. It had been quietly speaking to me, repeating over and over a future assignment, until I began to listen.
"You will one day be the prophet", said the voice.
When the message finally registered in my consciousness, I became alarmed and asked "Why me?"
"It's your job", came the quiet reply.
"But I don't know anything", I argued.
"You will know when you need to know", quiet and simple.
"But I don't have any experience."
"You will be equipped as needed", quiet, simple and steady.
"Oh, no!" I exclaimed. "I do not understand these words and what is happening to me. I do not trust you, whoever is speaking to me, or myself. I do not trust my ego or any of what is being said. All my life I have been conditioned never to seek such things. I do not want this. However, I do not want to offend the Spirit! You must speak to me in a different language. If you can speak to me in a way that I can understand and accept, I will take it like a tiger!"
Had I not been in a state of 'fasting and prayer' with so many good friends and family having joined me in support, I doubt I would have ever trusted what happened next!
What happened next is that my heart began to grow! And it continued to grow and grow and grow until I began to feel it would come out of me!! Then, as I relaxed to allow and observe what was happening, I went into a state of bliss and ecstasy that I cannot even begin to describe. All sense of sin and guilt that I'd ever felt disappeared as I felt embraced and filled with a blinding Light-filled sense of Divine LOVE. I became giddy and silly and began laughing and crying and shouting. I could speak only one word aloud without feeling blasphemous. Here is that word repeated three times:
Towards Tioga Pass
July 17, 1965
Highway 99, Near Fresno
My journey's purpose had been interrupted, but I now felt assured that my distressed friend would be taken care of. With that assurance, I began to feel the need to get on top of a high mountain and so turned the car toward nearby Yosemite National Park to find the highest peak. (What happened on top of the mountain is captured in a story called "Heart Planting", written 10 years later with my then 9-year-old son Michael in mind.)
Coming down from the mountain, I headed for the home of my best friend who lived nearby. From there I called family and friends as I'd promised to do when the crisis was over. Only one friend had already broken the fast. He, a Mormon bishop, close friend and patron, would take charges out against me less than a year later, which would lead to my first excommunication.
(Note: Seven years later (1972), this now former bishop learned where I was in Oregon and called me to apologize for his action, saying that three years to the date after he had pressed those charges, he himself was excommunicated for the very same charges he'd brought against me! And would I forgive him? With great joy we reconciled and began communicating and visiting each other. Many years later, shortly after his untimely death, his young, Jewish widow in California called me in New Mexico to ask that I sing at his memorial in Corona del Mar. In his will he had stipulated that at his memorial I sing a song that he had written decades earlier for my voice called "Hope". I was thrilled to accept.)

Seldom does the word prodigy mean so much …
In the old days – the word had verity. A truthful component. Shock value.
Now – thanks to endless 'make-producers-rich-forget-about-the-kids ' talent shows, the definition of prodigy or … child prodigy, is skewed.
Not the case with Hayden Rabinovitch. Just a kid with talent who hopes to make it as a musician. If not – he can always fix guitars …
Right Hayden?

We all have them, the friends who become our family.
I happen to believe that my closest friends are the best in the world. I know, everyone thinks this. But in my case it really is true.
I get a kick out saying that I'm among the least educated of my friends – seeing as how I have 2 Masters degrees, that's saying a lot. I'm lucky – not only have my friends been there with me through both the most joyous and most difficult times of my life, they inspire me to greater heights on a daily basis.
Friendspiration introduces you to the people who inspire me the most. Each and every one of them has amazing stories to tell, and have pushed me, in no small way, to be the person that I am today. I hope you enjoy meeting them all as much as I enjoy having them in my life!

Here is an unedited transcript of the webinar "InfluxQL Shorts Part 2." This is provided for those who prefer to read than watch the webinar. Please note that the transcript is raw. We apologize for any transcribing errors.
• Regan Kuchan: Technical Writer, InfluxData
Regan Kuchan 00:00.000 Hi and welcome to Part 2 of InfluxQL Shorts. In this series, we introduce the basics of InfluxQL, InfluxDB SQL-like query language. In this segment, we're going to talk about using the WHERE clause to filter fields and tags.
Regan Kuchan 00:18.643 Here we have a complete InfluxQL SELECT statement. In the previous InfluxQL short, we discussed the SELECT clause and the FROM clause, the two clauses that are required in every SELECT statement. In this segment, we'll focus on a clause that's not always required but is essential to writing efficient InfluxQL queries, the WHERE clause.
Regan Kuchan 00:40.836 Before getting into this syntax, there are a couple of things that we'd like to highlight. First, you can use the WHERE clause to filter data based on specific field key-value pairs. Second, you can use the WHERE clause to filter data based on specific tag key-value pairs. Queries that filter data based on tags are going to be more performant than queries that filter data based on fields. This is because tags are indexed in InfluxDB and fields are not indexed. When you filter fields in the WHERE clause, the system has to scan every single relevant field value, but when you filter tags in the WHERE clause, the system doesn't have to scan every single relevant tag value. So in general, the query that filters tags will be faster. The WHERE clause also allows you to filter data based on timestamps. We won't be covering that syntax in this segment because that deserves an InfluxQL short of its own.
Regan Kuchan 01:36.992 In the next slides, I'm going to be using sample time series data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We use these data throughout the InfluxQL documentation on our doc site. You can download the data and write them to your InfluxDB instance with the two commands on this slide. These instructions are also available in the docs at this link if you'd like to find them later and play around with the sample data set.
Regan Kuchan 02:03.931 Let's start with a couple of simple SELECT statements to give you an idea of what the WHERE clause can do. On this slide, we have a basic SELECT statement without a WHERE clause. It returns all fields and tags from the h2o_feet measurement.
Regan Kuchan 02:22.914 This next query includes a WHERE clause that filters data on a field. The query asks for every tag and field from the h2o_feet measurement, and we specify that we only want data where the value of the water_level field is greater than or equal to 7.205. You'll notice in the results that the field values in the water_level column are only greater than or equal to 7.205.
Regan Kuchan 02:53.777 Here we have a query that includes a WHERE clause and filters data on a tag. It selects every tag and field from the h2o_feet measurement and asks for only those data where the location tag key equals santa_monica. You can see in the results that the tag values in the location column are always santa_monica.
Regan Kuchan 03:15.117 Our last introductory WHERE clause query filters data on a field and tag. This query selects all tags and fields from the h2o_feet measurement and asks for data that have water_level field values greater than or equal to 7.205 and data that have the tag location equal santa_monica. In the results below, we can see that there's only one data point that meets both of those requirements.
Regan Kuchan 03:42.344 Now that you've seen how it works in general, let's get into some of the specific syntax for working with fields in the WHERE clause. Let's start with the basic operators. Here we have equals, not equals, and not equals. So those last two in the green box do the same thing. You can use these three operators with numerical field values and string field values. You must include single quotes around the field value if it's a string. The next set of valid operators are your standard greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, and less than or equal to. This set only works with numerical field values. The last set of operators on the screen are for regular expressions. The first one is matches against, and the second is does not match against. Finally, you can use basic arithmetic on numerical field values in the WHERE clause. This query selects values of water_level from the h2o_feet measurement when the value of water_level plus 2 is greater than 11.95.
Regan Kuchan 04:49.570 This slide covers some of the specific syntax for working with tags in the WHERE clause. We've seen this first set of operators in the previous slide. So equals, not equals, and another not equals. Notice that you can only use these operators with strings because all tag values are strings in InfluxDB, and those strings must be single quoted. The last two operators are for regular expressions. Again, the first one is matches against, and the second is does not match against. Unlike fields, you cannot perform basic arithmetic on tags in the WHERE clause. All tag values are strings, so InfluxDB will not allow you to perform any math on them.
Regan Kuchan 05:34.243 This last syntax slide shows the accepted binary operators in the WHERE clause. They are AND and OR, and you can use parentheses to group together logic. In this example, we count the number of water_level field values in the h2o_feet measurement, where water_level is less than zero or water_level is greater than or equal to six, and where the level description field is not between three and six feet, and the location tag is not equal to coyote_creek. The results show that 357 values of water_level meet those criteria.
Regan Kuchan 06:10.326 In these last few slides, we'll cover some of the common issues that we've seen with the WHERE clause. The first issue is what happens when you forget to single quote tag values or string field values. If you forget quotes altogether, and your tag value or string field value has no white spaces, your query will simply return no results. If your tag value or string field value has white spaces, the query will return a parsing error. Next, if you double quote your tag values or string field values, your query will return no results. So be sure to single quote your tag values and string field values in the WHERE clause.
Regan Kuchan 06:53.684 Our next common issue is a bit of a pesky syntax requirement. When performing basic arithmetic on numerical field values, you do need to include a white space between the operator and the operand. If you forget that white space, your query will return a parsing error. So in this case, we forgot the white space between the plus sign and the two, and we get an error. Once you include the white space, our query will return as expected.
Regan Kuchan 07:25.245 Our last common issue is how to select data when a tag has no value. You could do this with a regular expression in the WHERE clause, but the easiest way is just to set the tag equal to two single quotation marks.
Regan Kuchan 07:41.572 That's it for this InfluxQL short. If you'd like to find out more about the SELECT statement and the WHERE clause, check out the data exploration page in the documentation. It covers what I just talked about and more. The next short will go into detail about specifying timestamps in the WHERE clause. Happy querying.

"Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. He said to them, 'The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be called a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves!'" (Matthew 21:12-13 NLT)
We can use anger for good.
Anger can be used to honor God and motivate people to do God's will and purpose. [The above] Scripture describes Jesus doing just that.
Jesus walked into the Temple and once again saw the money changers and merchants. Not only were they dishonoring God by using the Temple area for business instead of worship, but many of the vendors there were taking advantage of people who had traveled long distances to worship God and offer sacrifices. A righteous anger swept through Jesus. He was outraged to see the way God was being dishonored . . . and He let His anger out with words and actions. Can't you just see him knocking the tables down?
This was righteous anger. Jesus' only motivation was to honor God and undo the wrong being done.
His outburst demonstrated the zeal described by David hundreds of years earlier:
Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. (Psalm 69:9 NLT)
There are many examples of righteous anger throughout the Scriptures.
Moses came down the mountain from an encounter with God, carrying the tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. When he saw the people worshipping a golden calf, he was furious. So angry he hurled the tablets of stone to the ground, burned the golden calf, and restored order and control in the Hebrew camp.
And then there was David. When he was still a young shepherd, he visited his brothers, who were serving in Israel's army. There he found the troops camped out, living in fear of a Philistine giant, Goliath. This huge man was taunting the Israelites. Daring anyone to take him on.
David's response? Anger. Righteous anger.
David asked the soldiers standing nearby, "What will a man get for killing this Philistine and ending his defiance of Israel? Who is this pagan Philistine anyway, that he is allowed to defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Samuel 17:26 NLT)
And David stepped up to do something about it. God empowered him . . . and he killed the giant.
There are many other incidents of righteous anger described in the Bible. How about today? As we look around the world we see sin abound. God is being dishonored in so many ways. It's okay to get angry about that. And our anger should spur us on to make a difference. To confront the sin in some way. Not recklessly striking out, but asking God what to do. And doing it in his way . . . and in his time.
Lord, I thank you for all the people who have shown righteous anger . . . and have followed your guidance in doing something about the problem. Lord, help me to have this kind of anger and to express it wisely. In Jesus' name . . .
These thoughts were drawn from …
Anger: Our Master or Our Servant by Larry Heath.

Synopsis for "Underworld Part 1"
Jackie Dio was a big-time mobster who is just finishing the last of few days of a 10-year sentence in the Cage, a maximum security prison mostly filled with non-super powered criminals. During his final days, he ends up in a fight with two skinheads, which leads to the skinheads being crippled and Dio confined to solitary. There he's cellmates with a former costumed villain known as the Hippo. The Hippo suggests that Dio looks for a man named the Consultant once he gets outside. The Consultant is a man who has been providing crooks with the technology required to become super-criminals in order to stay competitive in the organized crime industry. Dio, having a distinct hate for costumed criminals, Dio rejects this advice.
Upon release, Dio realizes that a lot has changed in the 10 years he's spent in prison: DVD's, women's clothing, the cost of food at a baseball game. Dio decides to go and visit his former employer: Silvermane, who to Jackie's surprise is a cyborg plugged into life support. Silvermane tells Dio that the world has become a world of costumed criminals in the underworld, much or like "Vinces" world. Dio recalls telling him to leave town after an altercation prior to going to jail.
When Dio asks if Vince has been seen around again, Silvermane tells him that he's been out the loop. He also tells Dio that if he's looking for employment, the Owl is the high ranking crime boss at the time. Going to see Owl, the Owl upon learning that Dio doesn't have any enhancements, the Owl calls his number one agent Mr. Pain, to find a place for the Owl. To Dio's shock and surprise, Mr. Pain turns out to be Vince.

By shcdav269 on Wednesday, January 17, 2018I have owned this car since May 2017, I have driven from GA to Ohio twice, IL and IN once. And have been in TN twice. This vehicle is very comfortable and after previously driving a Corolla I find that sitting higher helps a lot with the headlights blinding me. I have always owned smaller cars and didnt want a big SUV/Crossover. This is the perfect size for me. Also the additional storage space within the vehicle is awesome.

Wealthy donors, business leaders and timber chiefs top the list of Gov. John Kitzhaber�s nominees to the soon-to-be-formed University of Oregon governing board.
On the list are philanthropist Connie Ballmer, television personality Ann Curry and Roseburg Forest Products CEO Allyn Ford.
Major football boosters and Nike representatives are seemingly absent, although one nominee, former UO track star Rudy Chapa, worked in the 1990s for the Beaverton-based shoe retailer before starting his own business.
Nike co-founder and UO mega-donor Phil Knight pulled his name from consideration last week. Two other prominent officials who withdrew their names were Dave Frohnmayer, the former Oregon attorney general and UO president, and Ann Aiken, a federal district judge based in Eugene.
The emergence of the list on Monday was the first public, concrete step toward seating an independent governing board for the university.
The Oregon Senate is expected to vote on confirmation of the governor�s nominees in mid-September.
The board � authorized by the Legislature in July � will take over governance of the university in July. In the meantime, members will meet and prepare for their complicated oversight task.
Kitzhaber also released his nominees for governing boards at Oregon State University and Portland State University. Formerly, all the universities were governed by a statewide board that generally met in Portland.
�We really are becoming an institution that not only is able to recruit talent,� said UO board nominee Andrew Colas, who�s president of a Portland construction company, �but we�re getting our alumni to want to give back. And that�s important to moving the university forward.�
One alumna, Connie Ballmer, already has a design laboratory in Allen Hall named after her.
Ballmer and her husband Steve, the Microsoft CEO, gave $10 million to create Partners for Our Children, an institute within the University of Washington�s School of Social Work with the mission of improving child welfare.
Another nominee, Chuck Lillis, former chairman and CEO of a Fortune 100 company and several other lucrative ventures, gave $14 million for the construction of the Lundquist College of Business building, which includes the Lillis Business Complex named in his honor.
Kitzhaber exercised his discretion to give all UO board members the authority to vote, except for the university president, Michael Gottfredson, who serves ex officio.
He nominated the UO�s University Senate choice for the faculty seat on the board: Law School professor Susan Gary. The governor chose current student body President Sam Dotters-Katz as the student board member.
�This board will help spur huge new fundraising efforts, including into our endowment,� said Dotters-Katz, a law student. �With the wealth of talent and experience this board brings to the university, it will help with large-scale projects and management and looking at the future of our institution. The University of Oregon�s best days are ahead of us, and this board is a big part of that.�
The governor passed on one Eugene-Springfield area timber executive that the UO had suggested � Dan Giustina � and instead nominated Joseph Gonyea III. Gonyea went to Santa Clara University and is not a UO alumnus.
�He�s really happy to represent our local community on this new board,� said Roger Rutan, vice president for marketing at the Gonyea family-owned Timber Products Co. based in Springfield. �He was born and raised here, as his family has been. He�s got real strong local roots.�
Another local connection: Ginevra Ralph, a Eugene resident and co-founder of the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts in downtown Eugene.
Business is well-represented on Kitzhaber�s proposed UO board, with such nominees as Peter Bragdon, who is general counsel for Columbia Sportswear, and Ross Kari, retiring executive vice president and CFO of Freddie Mac.
Colas, the builder, said he wants to promote entrepreneurship.
�We have a really great business school (at the UO) and I�m proof of that.�
He worked through school at Colas Construction and in the nine years since graduation became the company�s president and chief operating officer. Colas Construction has revenues of between $10 million to $15 million annually and has 20 employees.
Colas also is a member of the Oregon Business Association Board and is a Portland Housing Bureau commissioner. He also serves on the nonprofit New Avenues for Youth Board.
Colas named two goals for the university. The first is to meet its own ambitions: �We want to be one of the premier research institutes in the nation. Dr. Gottfredson, that�s his goal. He came in to really make us an elite research institution.
�Some of the challenges to get that is: recruit the best talent throughout the United States to come to the University of Oregon. We always want to provide the best facilities to be able to recruit that talent base.�
Colas� second goal: �One of the biggest things I�m committed to is seeing that we increase the level of diversity at the University of Oregon,� he said, while acknowledging recent improvements.
�I look forward to helping increase and achieve even more, and I believe our president is committed to that as well.�
Gottfredson released a statement Monday saying he is pleased with the governor�s nominees:
�I am deeply appreciative of the thoughtfulness and confidence demonstrated in his choices, and of the commitment this distinguished group of individuals is making to the future of our university,� he said in the statement.
�We will all benefit from their talents, insight and expertise as we work together to enhance and improve how we deliver on the promise of our public mission.�
