Margaret Stevenson, PhD
July 31, 1922 - May 2, 2018
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
In the early morning of May 2, 2018, Margaret died peacefully surrounded by love. She was, and always will be, deeply loved and cherished by her daughter, Anne Graff, and her son Keith Stevenson (Marcia Levar), and loved forever by her grandson Scott (Shauneen) Stevenson, whom she loved so dearly, and darling twin great-granddaughters, Aarya and Isla, so dear to her heart. She will be lovingly remembered by many caring family, friends and colleagues. She was predeceased by her husband Andrew (1997), beloved son Morris (1968), sisters Lucille Hunter and Betty McPhee, brothers Bill and John McPhee. Margaret's life was one of grace and dignity, kindness and thoughtfulness, always nurturing family and friends and all those around her.
In her career as an educator she was a leader and a mentor, starting with her first year as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Drumheller School District 1941-42. While Supervisor Language Arts K-12 with Edmonton Public Schools during the final 10 years of her work 1978-88, she focused on children's learning and the role of language in their learning. When she retired she took on and successfully completed her PhD in Education, her thesis entitled "Leadership in Education: Effecting Change", documenting the work she and her team had done. Margaret was always a strong advocate for children and worked tirelessly to provide high quality, ongoing professional development for educators. Her influence extended nationally and internationally.
The family would like to express our very great appreciation and thanks to all the staff at Mel Miller Hospice Unit 9Y Edmonton General for their loving and compassionate care of Margaret during these past months.
Margaret's 90th Birthday
From Yetta Goodman May 18, 2014
Just got a note from Margaret Stevenson . . . active in Canadian CEL group and a major administrator in the Alberta schools as well as an active WLU member. The CEL group developed at the same time and may even have predated Missouri or Tucson TAWL groups.
She's in touch with Merv Thornton — Ken's student from Wayne State, a long time administrator in Alberta. I thought some of you might like to know a bit about each of them.
From Margaret
I am very well. Looking forward to my 92nd birthday at the end of July. Before then, on July 4, daughter Anne and I will be traveling to Vancouver to see our family and friends.
Today my twin great granddaughters celebrated their first birthday. They are just starting to walk--almost ready to take off on their own--so it will be exciting to spend time with them.
And Margaret's information about Merv who has had a long illness since he retired:
I saw Merv about a month ago--at a funeral, no less. We had only a few minutes to talk. He is still very thin, but is looking healthy. Merv hasn't been out to our monthly dinners for over 18 months now. (This is in relation to their administrator's and literacy group in Alberta)
We do miss him, and try to keep him up to date on all that is going on. Merv tends to stay home with his ailing wife, Jean, and do everything during the day.
From Dorothy Watson April 29, 2013
I was pleased to get a letter and photos from Margaret Stevenson. In addition to Jerry and Yetta¹s report I learned that Margaret is still driving, but lets her daughter Anne take her to night concerts, ballet, theatre, etc. Margaret keeps very busy: she is the Residents' Association Secretary (Assisted Living facility) and does considerable writing for the group. For those who know Anne you will be happy to learn that she has fully recovered from her brain tumor surgery; all brain functions have returned. Margaret's Language Arts group continues to meet for dinner once a month; all members are retired. Hard to believe that Margaret has been retired 25 years.
BTW, I'm very happy to report that Carol Gilles has received the Outstanding Graduate Faculty Award at Mizzou. Very well deserved! AND Carol¹s husband, Jere, received the International Engagement Award. He was in Bolivia, so Carol accepted it for him. Again, well deserved!
Nice to have good news for a change, Dorothy W.
Margaret to Dorothy Watson
August 26, 2015
Dear Dorothy,
Thank you for forwarding the TAWL Newsletter.
Did you know that our group--so many years ago--was named CAWL--Children and Whole Language.
Unintended consequence--the members were called "The CAWL Girls".
Congratulations on receiving the award from WLU for your leadership and 25 years of support and hard work.
Hard to believe that it was 25 years ago that it all started. I remember working on the Grades 4 to 6 proposals
for the first and second conferences. It was very exciting to see the presentations and how it all played out at the conference.
I was very interested to see--in the newsletter-- the picture of Carol Gilles, Kathryn Mitchell Pierce, Barbara Bell and Paul Crowley (plus a lady I didn't know).
Of course, I remembered all of them just as they looked when I last saw them, many years ago. My memories include going to a family restaurant
with Kathryn and her 2 little girls--one was in a high chair--they may be mothers themselves now. And there was young Paul in the picture---with grey hair. How did that happen?
I am well--still driving for one more year, then we will see.
Anne is fine and very active doing volunteer work at the University Hospital--in both the children's and the adults' wards.
It has been 6 years since her brain tumour surgery and everything is normal again. We are blessed.
Stay well.
Love, Margaret
From Kathy Whitmore May 1, 2018
Jerry Harste received the following note from Margaret Stevenson. one of the Founding Mothers of Whole Language in Canada, and asked me to pass it along:
In May, I am hoping to attend the 23rd presentation of the Margaret T. Stevenson Talented Young Writer Award.
Since 1994, this award has been presented yearly by Edmonton Public Schools to a Grade 8 student in the District.
The very first winner--now in her thirties--teaches Economics at Columbia University in New York City, last I heard.
Haven't been able to keep track of many of the winners.
I am keeping fairly well, Jerry. Will be 95 in July. Stopped driving a year ago but daughter Anne, who lives 10 minutes away, drives me to appts.
I have a friend who observed that once you get into the Health Care System here you have a new career. Takes all your time.
From Jerry Harste:
M. A. K. Halliday, PhD
April 13, 1925 - April 15, 2018
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
While Michael Halliday was not a member of CELT, his work is deeply influential. Ken Goodman provides this reflection:
What Whole Language takes from MAK Halliday by Ken Goodman
"My views of language and language learning had many sources, but I am not now nor have I ever been an eclectic. To understand reading, writing and the texts they use, I needed a language theory and a linguistic methodology that deals with whole authentic texts in their socio-cultural contexts, with real language in use in real speech acts and literacy events. I needed a social theory of language which could accommodate language difference and change. I found all that in the work of Michael Halliday."
"I believe that long after the work of contemporary linguists working in the world today has been put into the context of history, Halliday will be seen as the preeminent linguist of the century and future linguists will be kept busy expanding on and building on systemic-functional linguistics. That's because it deals with the whole of language in socio-cultural context and avoids limiting its scope to aspects of language or reducing language to some of its components."

Fund management
May 7: John Conroy on risks and returns
John Conroy, managing director of P-Solve Asset Solutions, on what pension funds should do about returns. He says the old model of depending on equity markets is gone because it is too risky. Part of the solution, he says, is capital rotation, or what is sometimes known as dynamic asset allocation, and the goal should be absolute returns.

the Power of Free/
Most transactions have an upside and a downside, but when something is free, we forget the downside. Free! gives us such an emotional charge that we perceive what is being offered as immensely more valuable than it really is. Why? I think it's because humans are intrinsically afraid of loss. The real allure of FREE! is tied to this fear.
Zero is not just another discount. Zero is a different place. The difference between two cents and one cent is small. But the difference between one cent and zero is huge!
If you are in business, and understand that, you can do some marvelous things. Want to draw a crowd? Make something free! Want to sell more products? Make part of the purchase free!

Glass Animals – Icky, Gooey Tunes!
It has indeed become inceasingly difficult for Indie bands to attract attention. The first time I heard the song "Gooey" of Glass Animals I was like, wow nice bass! Second thought: Did he just say: "While my naked fool, fresh out of an icky gooey womb?!"
I became suspicious, so I checked some interviews and found this live-performance of the Oxfordish band when Dave Baylay, the leadsinger, admitted: Yeah, my mum too think it's disgusting! If you consider odd lyrics a weird way to get stuck to a band – it did work for me.
It wasn't too surprising reading that the four guys are under the wings of producer Paul Epworth who produced other top shots like Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires, Plan B and Adele. At least the first two of them were reason enough for me to listen to the rest of the Glass Animals songs.
Describing the genre of the quartet is actually quite hard. You could label it Indie however I'd describe it as sexy, odd, catchy and certainly gooey. I just always have this "tipy topsy smirk" whenever I listen to their songs. Why? Find out yourself.

07/15/2017 by Gil Kaufman
Brock Jones has made a three-decade career of looking for the right fit between venues, artists and his own goals. That's why when he sensed earlier this year that his position at Comcast Spectacor's Spectra live event touring and promotion division didn't feel right anymore, he decided to make a clean break and go his own way.
"Comcast Spectacor has really made a conscious decision that they need to focus in on the core product of the business, which is venue management and food and beverage, which is fine [with me]" he said. "It's not a coincidence that the concert touring division was offloaded almost at the exact same time they sold ticketing. Honestly, the concert touring business is not for everyone."
Jones, who left the company May 12, said he'd sat in multiple meetings with the Comcast finance team and "felt bad for them" when they'd ask him about cash flow and "how many tickets we'll sell next week." Knowing that those types of figures are impossible to predict in a business that's not typically ruled by quarterly returns and month-over-month cashflow, Jones said it was hard for Comcast to make the touring business fit with their more traditional business model. "It's not apples and oranges, it was apples and hand grenades," he said, noting the split was amicable. A spokesperson for Comcast Spectacor declined to comment for this story.
So, the longtime talent buyer and former VP of Nashville's Bridgestone Arena left the company after nearly five years of trying to break into smaller markets when it was clear that the division he led was not producing as expected. The good news is, he retained his entire staff of three full-time employees and hung his own shingle at his office 10 miles outside of Nashville.
The company, named 191 Touring after Brock's childhood address in a small Idaho town bisected by State Route 191, has already ramped up with its first few projects. The initial outing is a string of dates in conjunction with Brad Garrett's Police Productions, extending country singer Justin Moore's tour, which he's in the midst of routing right now.
He's also partnering with Invictus' Jim Cressman for some Canadian dates of the "I Love the 90s" tour and is in conversation with some of his longtime William Morris cohorts on a short Canadian run with another act he is not yet at liberty to discuss.
"Brock is a hard worker and he's another indie underdog working hard to develop hard ticket artists," Cressman said. "My impetus to partner with venues is driven by intentionally doing whatever is advantageous for the artist. If bringing the venue in as a partner on my side reduces rent and soft costs, the artist walks out with more money because of that arrangement, we all win."
Both men said the killer nostalgia lineup of the 90s tour — featuring Vanilla Ice, Salt N Pepa, Young MC, Coolio and others — made sense for them and the markets they're going into.
"Whatever artist makes sense we're gonna go after it," Jones said of the net he's planning to cast with a team that includes two marketing and production staffers and a right-hand woman who "basically keeps the world running for us."
"I've been in the concert business since I was 17 — this is my 31st year — and I want to have an independent touring company that's focused on putting artists in places they can succeed," he said. "The concert touring model is going through a big flux right now. There's so much focus placed on the majors and there are so many acts touring now because of the implosion of labels that there is a lot of potential for shows and touring and markets out there."
The key, he noted, is that it is giving artists, managers and agents the ability to look at a national tour without having to go to Live Nation or AEG by picking a shop that can focus on an artist with laser precision. "They won't be a number, that's why Brad and I work so hard on Justin, we believe in him," he said of his partnership with Garrett. "We focus on those dates. Live Nation and AEG do great business, but they are spread thin. If somebody wants to put an artist out for 18 dates in the middle of winter for acts that don't burn sheds, that's not what they do. They won't get the attention they need to succeed. That's what I do."
Asked how many dates or tours he plans to put out in the next year, Jones said he hasn't set a goal for a reason. "I don't lock myself in because that's when you start making bad offers," he said. "If it makes sense, we're going after it. We're not budgeting 'we have to do 15 shows a month.' We're budgeting 'let's go do what's right and makes sense.' I just came out of a world that lived on benchmarks and that doesn't work in this world."
Plans call for his office to expand soon, thanks to an initial response he described as "beyond positive. To say I've been welcomed with open arms would be an understatement. In this industry, you can never have enough good partners, and I've been in this business a long time and worked hard to have a good reputation. I pay my bills and treat artists well. There's nothing more you can ask for in this business."

Someone You Know May Be A Devil In Disguise
[2 Corinthians 11:14-15] "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions."
Some of the biggest freaks - and some of the biggest whoremongers are in the Church. This is not a guess, this is a FACT!
If you're a Christian who's trying to live right, you owe it to yourself to not be naive and to be completely aware of the different personality types that are in church today.
The church is like a sheep's pen. It's where the sheep gather and congregate to do sheepy things. But where there's sheep there's bound to be predators. And predators today have gotten smart.
Church sheep attract church wolves. And just because they don't look or act wolfish doesn't mean they're not!
1. Showing slackness when it comes to living out an authentic salvation experience.
2. More worldly acting than they are Christian. In fact, they're so worldly that you wouldn't know they were a Christian unless they directly told you. There's no other identifying behavior that connects them with the saints. These would be your believers who are still running out and getting tatted up - still attending secular music concerts - still drinking and getting high. And when challenged on these obvious sinful practices, they'll pull out the 'judge not' card. Or they'll say that Jesus places everything under the blood, therefore there's no need for them to stop sinning. I call these 'Christian sinners' (and yes, that's an oxymoron).
3. Mixing of Christianity with Hinduism, Buddhism or New Age beliefs.
4. The use of phrases such as 'judge not' and 'God knows my heart.'
5. Always the victim of someone or some church that 'did them wrong.'
6. Acting as if they're too holy or too spiritual to be bothered with the rest of us mere Christian mortals.
7. Claims to be saved yet has a very elementary understanding or very little knowledge at all of holy scriptures. (How you gon' claim to love God - yet hate His word???)
8. Goes to church every time the church doors are open - yet continuously living in sexual sins, won't stop fornicating, cheats on their spouse with other church wolves (members), masturbates without guilt, dabbling in porn, etc. ***People like this are really dangerous, because they've been thoroughly inoculated against God's saving power, and are virtually guaranteed to bust hell wide open when the time comes. Steer VERY clear of such wolves in sheeps clothing - lest you find yourself on that bus trip to hell along with them!
I could write an endless list here. Perhaps you can even think of a few to add in the comments stream. Bottom line is, just because they claim to be saved doesn't mean they have been.
I warned you before and I'll keep doing it:There are many demons on assignment hiding out among the saints! And it behooves you if you're serious about your salvation in Christ to know who's on God's team and who's not. How can you tell the difference? It's simple:
"Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thisles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit." Matthew 7:15-17
Always check for their fruit! That's how you will recognize them.

Is Gay The New Black?
Before ya'll bite my head off, I'm not taking a position but asking the question.
I'm neither Gay nor Black, and it has been my feeling that you cannot equate one form of discrimination or marginalization with another (especially since what if you're Gay & Black?) so my initial interest in "X is the new Y" comparisons like this were rather passingly shallow... Until I read the biography of [Bayard Rustin].
It was another random day bumming around Wikipedia instead of doing my homework. I had happened upon the speech Robert Kennedy gave immediately following the assassination of MLK, and before I knew it I was link jumping from article to article, reading about the SCLC, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and eventually how Adam Clayton Powell Jr. forced Bayard Rustin to resign from the SCLC by threatening to accuse him and MLK of having a homosexual relationship unless King called off marches that possibly threatened the Democratic Convention (and my extension Powell) over Civil Rights issues.
This was the context in which I found Rustin. A Gay Black man in 1960's America.
Reading through his biography was like reading a goddamn Greek Tragedy. The man worked so hard for so much, only to be continually marginalized, even by those who were supposed to be his Brothers. His contribution to the infamous 1963 March went uncredited by pressure from NAACP chairman (at the time) Roy Wilkins. Moving from organization to organization, Rustin found no respite -- not in the Black Panthers, and not among any other Black Power groups.
Interestingly enough, he served on the board of trustees at the University of Notre Dame throughout the 70's & 80's, despite the university's strict Catholicism which condemns homosexuality.
Eventually Bayard Rustin died on August 24th 1987 from a perforated appendix. He was 75. His obituary in The New York Times went like this:
"Looking back at his career, Mr. Rustin, a Quaker, once wrote: 'The principal factors which influenced my life are 1) nonviolent tactics; 2) constitutional means; 3) democratic procedures; 4) respect for human personality; 5) a belief that all people are one.'"
It was a sad story to read about honestly. And while I hope his soul has found peace now, it seems to me that he was never fully appreciated in his lifetime, nor is he appreciated now.
But coming back to the topic at hand. It was a speech Rustin gave in 1986 entitled, "The New Niggers Are Gays" that caught my eye.
Why? Because in this speech, Rustin says the same thing that [the Advocate said in December 2008] which received such a round of condemnation. [Even Tyra got in on the controversy].
But unlike Michael Joseph Gross who is a White guy saying this in the late 2000's -- Bayard Rustin said this as a Black man with a long history in the Civil Rights movement (as well as organized labor, and socialism, and international human rights) over 22 years ago!
And yet not a peep. Nary a nod or a wink.
How do I know? Because I had to spend hours on the internet researching the material for this blog-post. Rustin's speech isn't found online really, except in excerpts. His contributions are sublimated to the mainstream history that I've read, from Howard Zinn's alternative to my old high school textbooks. Critiques of Rustin, essays on his contributions, and copies of his speeches are hard to find, even for an internet-savvy nerd like me.
And when The Advocate published Gross' piece, nobody mentioned Bayard Rustin. Nobody said, "maybe the new Civil Rights movement isn't Glenn Beck's Tea Party, but the struggles of LGBT people for equal protection under the law."
Realizing this made me question my assumptions, not just about racism or homophobia, not just about Black people or Gay people, but about the very idea of civil rights.
What was it exactly that Rustin said which impacted me so? It was this:
"Today, blacks are no longer the litmus paper or the barometer of social change. Blacks are in every segment of society and there are laws that help to protect them from racial discrimination. The new "niggers" are gays... It is in this sense that gay people are the new barometer for social change... The question of social change should be framed with the most vulnerable group in mind: gay people... because we stand in the center of progress... to build coalitions of people for the elimination of all injustice."
I think that says it all.
Here are some links for ya'll to peruse if you're still interested in the topic.

Gays are the new black? Really?
What about transsexuals? intersex people? Poor white men? A movement that has, since Stonewall in 1969 been covered pretty much positively at all levels of the culture and by the cultured elite is to be compared to people that ARE invisible to our sympathies or that we wish would stay invisible ?
I support "gay marriage" and I find hate crimes against gays , esp. gay teens abominable. But the fact is they have organized lobbies which represent them and some degree of cultural power. They legal and socially acceptable treatments of homosexual people cannot be compared to slavery, and arguably can't very well be compared to Jim Crow, a system whereby whites and blacks had separate water fountains and other physical and social assets with the black ones almost always being inferior in every dimension.
Also, it's a well known fact that of Stuff White Women Like (a subset of SWPL) having a gay friend or two or even ten is the "in" thing and has been most of the past 10 years.
I respect this post because it brings up the name of someone whom I've heard of but never really read about and makes the case that that he has been unfairly overlooked and his contributions downplayed. But excuse me if I don't find him a particularly savvy social thinker, at least in terms of future prognostication.

@clarence: those are fair points, and in the LGBT movement there is a constant push & pull over the participation/exclusion of intersex, transgendered, and other gendered/sexual identities. (transsexuals are already included in the LGBT acronym though.)
however, i think that the issue of gay marriage, where literally homosexuals do not have the right to marry (or in some states, the right to the same kind of marriage) like straight couples do. would that not be an example of "jim crow"?
however, i'd have to take issue with your comment, "A movement that has, since Stonewall in 1969 been covered pretty much positively at all levels of the culture and by the cultured elite"
i think that the older gay people i know, especially many of my san francisco professors who suffered through the aids epidemic would say that you just started victim-blaming and diminishing the suffering of LGBT people by playing into oppression olympics.
thanks for your comment though!

I've personally never like the "Y is the new X" statements no matter how you fill those values in. It sounds to me that when you you do that you are implying, "Y is the new X. X is doing fine now and doesn't have to worry about injustice."
Y and X are going through two different sets of things. Yeah they may have some in common but to try to put them in a sentence like that does one thing that usually does not end well. And that is compare the injustices of Y and X. That's Oppression Olympics territory.
Yes Blacks have made lot of strides that Gays need to make. But trying to say that one has replaced the other is limiting and dishonest.

@danny: X is doing fine now and doesn't have to worry about injustice.
that's a good point. and i don't think bayard rustin was making that assertion himself either. i don't believe he truly felt that Black people were completely equal in 1986, but i think that his experiences as a Gay & Black man shaped his views to regarding being homosexual as worse than being Black solely because being homosexual is what lost him so many friends and opportunities.
for myself though, i'm not sure which side of the fence i sit on. it's hard to equate oppression, but at the same time it's hard to dismiss the round of bashing LGBT people have been getting in this current political climate. i think particularly of PoC who are LGBT.

Just because your dating a black girl does not make you an expert on black people or black issues. I just wanted to throw that out their because I have seen a couple of white men that date black women start to spout nonsense concerning blacks like yourself. And the comparison of the rights of gays to blacks in the Civil Rights era makes no sense at all. I can't believe people try to make that argument.
- December 14, 2010 at 9:40 AM
- Zek J Evets said...
Well, if you're gonna start throwing personal attacks, why not make a handle and identify yourself. Or are you more comfortable slinging shit from your arm-chair?
But thanks for assuming that all White guys who date Black women are the same. Because, like, that totally isn't stereotyping!
And I'm not making the argument, I'm asking the question. It's like the FIRST THING I say in my post. Did you bother to read it? Or did you make that up in the same place you made up where I claimed to be an expert on Black people & Black issues?
However, if you have a problem with people who make that argument, then why don't you take it up with Michael Gross and Bayard Rustin instead of writing random anonymous comments to get your angry jollies off.
Game, set, match.

Biography of Kaidyn Tucker, Youth Engagement Grant 2017/18 Recipient
Hello Kaidyn Tucker is my name and Bendigo City is my club. I'm going into my third year with the football club and I am 12 years old. Before Bendigo City I grew up on Spring Gully Soccer pitches in Bendigo where my Dad coached me every year since I was 6. My very first coach was named Terry and he nicknamed me Pocket Rocket because I was so small! I'm still not big but I am strong!
The highlight of my soccer career was travelling to Japan in August this year for the Victorian Country Representative squad with 3 good friends of mine, Zac Francis, Mac Hilson and Edward Harrison. This grant will help my parents pay for that trip and my upcoming Futsal Trip to Sydney in early 2018. I have made this Nationals team 7 times now and the head coach of Victoria Country Futsal Corey Smith is my coach, and this year I hope we make it to the grand final, which we missed out on last year by one game.
I love playing soccer and futsal because it is so much fun. I love the challenges representative squads bring me and I am very lucky to have a dedicated family who support me everywhere I go. I have a big brother Callum and a little sister Lulu and they are on the sidelines of most of my games wherever I am in Australia. Sometime my brother is even reffing me, which is always fun, but he never lets me get away with anything!
I dream to play soccer in Europe and I train everyday with the hope this comes true. I am happiest when I am on the soccer pitch and thank you for helping me get to Japan.
The Youth Engagement Grant, proudly brought to you by Charan Foundation and founder - Atkinson Prakash Charan.

The best thing ever! GTE Go Points is GTE's newest loyalty program launched in July of 2017. It's built to reward our amazing members for all of the great products and services they use, even beyond Credit Card and Debit Card purchases. There's more ways that you can earn points and there's more benefits that you can redeem for.
One of the best things about GTE Go Points is that all members will be eligible to participate (you must be 16 years or older and be in good standing). Now, all 250,000+ of our members will be able to earn points for GTE activities as well as products and services.
Once Go Points launches, you can access the program through Online Banking. Depending on the accounts you have with GTE, some members will be auto-enrolled into the program. Member's who are not auto enrolled can simply opt-in to the program! Once you are enrolled in the program, you will just need to confirm your email address on the Go Points website to complete your registration. You can find more information on how to get started with Go Points here.
You get points for making everyday purchases, opening GTE products, referring friends, and tons of other ways! Once you have points, you can redeem and spend in the new rewards program.
The primary reason for launching a new rewards experience for members is to provide more ways for members to earn and spend! We want our members to feel the love when they use their credit union's products and services. In the past, with the CURewards program, members were able to earn points...however, they could only earn points on Credit Card and Debit Card purchases. With GTE Go Points, we will be expanding the ways members can earn to include things like loans, enrolling in account features and more! Check out the Go Points home page for more info!
Go Points launched on July 18th, 2017.
Great question! And, the big answer is...not at all :) GTE Go Points will be free to members. It's our way of saying thank you for using GTE as your primary financial institution. As a not-for-profit credit union, the more members use our products and services, the more value we can return to the cooperative! It's what makes being a credit union so different than a big bank.
The answer is no. Unlike CURewards, with the new points program, all your points will be automatically pooled together into one big bucket! So, whether you earn points with your Debit Card, Credit Card or with a home loan, they will all be instantly combined. The member will not have to take any additional steps and fill out a form to link points like they do today.
Yes! With GTE Go Points, members will be able to link their points with another member earning points by completing an easy online form. This will allow for seamless sharing of points! Members will also be able to do a 1x gifting of points to another person. So, members will be able to link and share all their points with another, or gift points when desired. To link to another member you must share the same last name, zip code and city. If you would like to link but dont meet these requirements, you can share your points through the gifting portal.
Absolutely! See above. They will have a 60-day expiration date.
You can gift a minimum of 100 points.
Points in the new Go Points program will started accruing in July 2017 for new activities. For example, if you had a mortgage prior to July 2017 when the program launched, you would not receive 12,500 points retroactively. Prior to Go Points, we offered promotions or incentives regularly for almost all our products and services that members were able to take advantage of.
We will be offering more great incentives throughout the year to keep things fresh for members to earn points.
Points are deducted from your account for redemptions using first in, first out. Your oldest points which expire sooner, will be redeemed first.
No, you can't buy points. There is only one example of using points + cash on an item. Ex.: You want to purchase an airline ticket but don't have enough points to cover the point total. You can use all of your points and then pay the remainder with cash.
Yes! With Go Points, cash back is now available for redemptions as low as $25 (3,000 points). Previously with CURewards, you had to accumulate enough points to redeem for $200 (20,000 points)!
Yes. Points do expire. Great news is, the Go Points website within Online Banking will always keep you updated on what points expire when! Points will expire 3 years after they are earned. If you participated in GTE's previous rewards program, CURewards, debit card points earned through April 28, 2017 were automatically migrated to Go Points in July 2017; migrated debit card points will expire in July 2018, offering 1 full year to shop and spend! Migrated credit card points will expire on their natural cycle, when they would have expired in CURewards.
When you are earning points, the value of a point is $0.01 per point. This is the same value as our previous rewards program CURewards.
Ampre is merchant funded rewards and you will find it inside the "Go Points" website. You can spend at highlighted merchants (like Home Depot) and get awesome points (could be $1=1point, or more!). These transactions will post as "pending" within 5 days of the transaction, but the actual points won't post on your account until the merchant funds the transaction, which could be up to 45 days. Read more about Ampre here.
We have noticed that members with pop-up blockers or ad-blockers have issues registering the first time they try to join Go Points. We have created this helpful guide to show you how to disable pop-up blockers in your browser. Once you are registered, you may re-enable the blocker and continue without issue!

I haven't been cruelty-free for long, just a little over a year now. I have very distinct memories of watching Legally Blonde 2 in high school but not really thinking there was any fact behind the comedy when it came to the animal testing talked about in that movie. Don't get me wrong, I knew animal testing was a thing that happened in the cosmetics industry, but I blissfully and very optimistically believed that it wasn't present or prevalent in society. So, for 20 years I went through life buying whatever makeup struck my eye or was being hyped up in commercials and magazines everywhere.
Because I was so blissfully unaware of the situation, I think this is was made me so shocked when I stumbled upon a post on Pinterest titled "2016 cruelty-free cheat sheet." With my optimism, I figured everything would be cruelty-free because if science has a way of cloning animals then it certainly has had to have figured out a way to remove animal testing from its chemical testing process. Finding this post was a true awakening for me. Immediately that Saturday I sat down and devoted however long it was going to take to completely purge all items deemed not cruelty-free from my life. I didn't care that I had already purchased the product and thus supported the company in their testing, I wanted everything gone.
My friends certainly didn't complain when I gifted them hundreds of dollars in makeup, because really who is going to question when your friend hands you a bag filled solely with Tom Ford lipsticks. But the more I started telling people why I was giving away all these products, the more I began to notice something strange happen: Not a single person truly cared. Whether I was in the bathroom of my sorority house talking about toothpaste as we brushed our teeth, or standing in the aisles of Sephora as my friends piled items into their basket, no one who I told cared one bit that they're supporting the continued testing, and dare I say torture, of innocent animals.
Maybe I'm in a unique position because in my major the principal of empathy is emphasized over and over again. Maybe I empathize with the animals, as strange as that sounds. I'm not trying to insinuate that my friends aren't empathetic, but I'm trying to understand and rationalize why my closest friends aren't bothered to change their lifestyles like I was when I found out a treatment I thought was so ancient was still being practiced BY LAW in some countries.
I've started noticing one of my friends has become more conscientious of companies that are cruelty-free or not when we're out shopping. I've even noticed her recently be compiling products that are cruelty-free as well. Who's to say whether her change in habits is because of the amount of time we've spent together, or due to the quantity of big name brands that are openly transparent about their cruelty-free status I cannot say for sure. However, it is reassuring to see that it is possible to influence another's actions to help support your cause, it's just a matter of pushing through their comforts of purchasing the same tried and true products that they gravitate towards everytime they're in a store.
Maybe it's a behavioral change rather than a state of mind that needs to be changed in order to get people more motivated to take part in the cruelty-free movement. I find it disheartening when individuals don't care about how their actions can affect the lives of innocent creatures, but that in itself seems to be a huge issue radiating across this country especially. Through the art pieces I'm working to create, I would love to dig deeper and explore why people are so receptive to my changing lifestyle but are hesitant and often times highly resistant to taking the leap themselves.

King Howl, Talk About Records 2017
Review of Daniele Mei, translated by Daniela Schrru
It's a crumpled blues that of Rougarou. The howling king has captured the monster and he is hashing it constantly with a drumming that is like a powerful steamroller's sound.
After all, the Rougarou is the legendary animal that has streak fear into Louisiana community, where blues music, at least the known one, began. A wolf-headed man emerging in the mist of the swaps in New Orleans, where Mississippi ends and where the history of modern music begins.
Rougarou: a monster into a storm of sounds
The Rougarou is the monster inside the electrical storm that takes place in the head-in-collision between the most archaic blues, the delta one, with the preys' laments, the cotton belt slaves and their chains, and the heaviest rock. Riding as if to get away, but as epic heroes, letting an indelible sign on who, from the monster, has beenat least once touched lightly.
The King Howl has spent decades with pragmatism and determination, embracing as many genres as possible and still getting a solid and cohesive work. I want to repeat it, because it is the important point, blues music, but also rock and roll, hard rock, an almost metal-ride-party and especially stoner and psychedelic rock music. When the rhythms slow down, one can feel all the influences and experiences realized at some international festivals like Duna Jam and others more around Central Europe.
Gone is a steamroller that floorsyou with its acoustic slide opening and its lament, while Demons takes you to what's my favorite piece of the record, like Screaming which carry you straight into space, as the Black Sabbath would have done.
No Money is a hard rock and roll song that, in some cases, recalls the old Diego Pani's band, The Giannies. Alone I Go is a surprise, chains, the underworld, down into infinite, interrupted immediately by By My Side's jackhammernoise that changes in a doping doom stoner. We can dance at the rhythm of Falling Down, like the boogie sound of Pissed Off. Atmospheres become more exclusive in Ride The Night, a song which recalls the 90s and Seattle.
Icing on the cake is On the Road Again, one of the Canned Heat's cover. A perfect song for a band that is following the rock's dream: "But I ain't going down/That long old lonesome road/ All by myself/But I ain't going down.// That long old lonesome road/All by myself/I can't carry you, baby/Gonna carry somebody else."
A Talk About Records production
Rougarou is recorded in Sardinia and mixed by the sardinian mixer Gabriele Boi, with Elena Cabitza's remarkable artworks, and produced by Talk About Records and Electric Valley Records. Talk About is the independent label built by Diego Pani, which besides being the mind and the founder of the group, is also the singer and the harp-player in the King Howl. Electric Valley is but a label from Sassari that deals with stoner and psychedelic music.

Women's March Napa Valley 2018
Leveraging the national campaign and branding established in 2017, the grass roots steering committee for Women's March Napa Valley asked Folia Design to come up with a logo that would be recognized for the local chapter and it's distinct recognition values, being in Napa Valley. With the wine industry being a big part of the name, industry and location, it seemed right to incorporate the visual of landscape and some aspect of wine into the existing branding. (A little cameo by myself and Liam too!)

Greenpeace activists scaled the Ministry of Transport building in Berlin, Wednesday, in protest of the meeting dubbed 'diesel summit' where German State officials and major car makers gather in the capital to discuss alternatives to a ban on the driving of diesel cars.
The activists reached the building's rooftop using mountaineering equipment, before they hung a banner reading "Welcome to Fort NOx," where NOx stands for Nitrogen Oxides emissions from diesel engines.

Oatmeal with peanut butter, half a banana, a small peach and some fresh raspberries and maple cinnamon coffee...yummm
Lunch: Omelet with veggies and cheese in half of a WW pita
Supper: Crockpot Barley and Red Beans (see this morning's post for recipe link), broccoli and green beans
So my final verdict for Meatless Monday is....meh, I might do it again, I might not. I would have to find some REALLY great suppertime meals in order to try it again. I suspect it was psychological, but I kept thinking about meat all afternoon :) I missed it!
So there you have it folks - my take on Meatless Monday.
I will leave you with some photos of food from the past couple of days:
|crystal light popsicle
|Donut peaches
|Skinny Cow minis - 4 points...yum! note the size compared to the blackberry :)

Get Out of My Nintendo Labo(ratory)!
The New Adventures of Spaceman Spiff
In an age of ever progressing virtual reality, the days of steering wheel and fishing rod video game controllers seemed to be a thing of a past (do you member? I 'member). That is until Nintendo announced the Nintendo Labo (projected to launch April 20, 2018) the first series of build-to-play interactive video game controllers.
The concept behind the Labo is not unlike the days of my youth, using cardboard to venture to the unexplored depths of space. But this time around, there is little to no imagination involved. Say goodbye to transforming that old refrigerator box into a time machine and say hello to instruction manuals telling you how to make a piano out of corrugated materials.
It encourages creativity through cardboard in a way that Calvin and Hobbes would never have dreamed of. No longer would Spaceman Spiff have to pilot a repurposed box to unknown galaxies. Instead, he could follow the meticulous instructions of the Nintendo Labo kit and build a motorbike to place his Switch controller in to.
Now instead of utilizing imagination, children can stare at a screen mounted into an intricate piece of cardboard. Why step outside and fish on a beautiful lake when you could instead build an augmented reality that simulates the same thing?
That's not to say that the idea behind the Labo is altogether bad. It offers consumers a new way to interact with their Nintendo Switch. Which means additional hours of fun for the user and more money for the manufacturer. More money means more games, which means additional hours of fun, which means more money. So on and so forth.
I also must admit that the Labo offers a far safer option for "virtual reality" than any of the current VR headsets could ever offer. There is no noise canceling, spatial audio headsets and no view impairing goggles. This means even while immersed in the worlds that Nintendo's build-and-play kits create, you're still aware of your surroundings.
Producing a controller that is made from recyclable materials that the user has to construct themselves is likely to keep costs low. Surely that means that Nintendo can afford to sell it at a reasonable price, right? Hardly. The Ninento Labo kits start at $69.99. I've never been tempted to pay so much for cardboard in my life.
Perhaps the unique way the various kits augment gaming will make it well worth the price point. And while some assembly is required, it's likely that when you're climbing inside of your recyclable robot, you'll have a sense of accomplishment. After all, you were the one who constructed it! Keep your fingers crossed that the Labo kits are easier to assemble than the Hejne storage unit from IKEA.
Another concern arises when using a material as fragile as cardboard. What happens when the kit is damaged? Will a little elbow grease and a few layers of duct tape do the trick? Can you patch a tear with masking tape? Will there be repair kits sold separately? Or, will you have to contact Nintendo customer support and go through the arduous process of replacing the product?
There's still a slew of questions to be answered before the Nintendo Labo kits hit store shelves. Such as, will I be able to download the kits and print them using my 3D printer? Will there be multiple configurations for certain kits?
Hopefully, Tatsumi Kimishima will offer us answers to put our minds at ease before April 20, 2018. And while I am approaching Nintendo's newest "toy" with apprehension, I have extremely high hopes. It certainly feels like a step in the right direction when it comes to augmented and virtual reality.
But, until the Labo kits can be purchased at my local game store, I'm climbing back into my repurposed Amazon box and taking a trip to Mars with my stuffed tiger. Spaceman Spiff, out!
Aspiring boy adventurer with a knack for drinking whiskey.
Currently cooking my way through pop culture and designing board games. Trying to personify the best parts of Bob Belcher and Sterling Archer, simultaneously (it's going well).

Alison and Peter's wedding day
There were SO many reasons to love this wedding...but a standout was reconnecting with so many familiar faces. I photographed the wedding of Peter's sister over 6 years ago (they now have 2 tots!) and it was amazing seeing their entire family again. Secondly, in the crowd was Peter's cousin and fiancé, whom I will be photographing in only 2 months....so I will again get to party with many familiar faces.
Now...all that took a backseat to how relaxed and in LOVE Alison and Peter were. They were such fun to be around...and really enjoyed spending their day together. Preparations took place at the new Four Points Sheraton in Norwood....departing to the Borderland State Park for their first look, portraits and playtime with the bridal party. Their ceremony and reception were in great hands at the Saphire Estate in Sharon (part of the Saphire Event Group).
I had a wonderful time and thanks to everyone for such an amazing day. Enjoy

On Alyssa and Logan's wedding day it rained—and they were so excited. There we were, out in the vineyards getting wetter by the second. The more it rained the happier they were. "WE GOT OUR RAIN!" they cheered to the sky.
As I sit editing their pictures this week, I keep going back to that moment. My wish for these two is that they always hold on to that little bit of magic. Because that feeling, whatever it is, will get them through anything that comes their way.
Thanks for sharing it with me. ❤

The Sacred Bond of Women
Project info
Women are supposed to be the weaker sex. Yet during birth women find strength in each other and trust in the shared experience. As romanticized as the birth process can be, it is not. It requires a mixture of nurture, assertiveness and strength, and in the Latina culture the presence of faith. What I witnessed is that women are not afraid to use all of these.
