Page 4 THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL JULY 24, 2013 COMMENTARY The royal baby was born. But dont worry, America, we still have Honey Boo Boo. CONAN OBRIEN Im sure you all heard the news about the roy al baby. William and Kate are the proud parents of a baby boy. Can you believe the media cov erage? Youd think it was Kim Kardashian and Kanye West having a kid. JAY LENO Detroit has become the largest city in U.S. his Detroits population dropped something like 70 percent, but the government got bigger. The tax base got smaller, but the government got bigger. Thank God that kind of thing could never happen in Washington. JAY LENO A lot of guys go to Comic-Con dressed as su per heroes. Comic-Con is a great place to go if you want to see what all your favorite super he roes would look like if they stopped working out and ate only ice cream. CRAIG FERGUSON According to an English newspaper, a mystery fan has been leaking the results of professional wrestling matches before they even begin. He knows who is going to win and he puts it online. That Edward Snowden has gone too far! JAY LENO Is that really a big deal, knowing ahead of time whos going to lose? I mean, Cubs fans have been dealing with that for years. JAY LENO Its rumored the new Play Station controller will measure the degree to which you are sweat ing. In response, gamers asked, Whats sweat ing? CONAN OBRIEN The temperature got up to a 100 here in New York City. And now doctors are warning people about something called heat rage. Its a real thing, where people to overreact when it gets too hot. Its similar to those other conditions in New York: cold rage, lukewarm rage, and just regular old rage. JIMMY FALLON in Vietnam. So it looks like we might win that war after all. CONAN OBRIEN About 135,000 people have descended on San Diego for Comic-Con. I think Comic-Con might have jumped the shark. Ill tell you why because Im going. Its like Sundance Film Fes tival. I remember when Sundance was cool, all a place where Paris Hilton goes to party. CRAIG FERGUSON I understand theres a lot of celebrating going on at Buckingham Palace right now. I just hope theyre able to get up for work tomorrow. JAY LENO A woman in Pennsylvania was just in the news for giving birth to a baby that weighs 13 pounds, 12 ounces and is more than two feet long. You could tell it was big because when it was time to go home, the baby said, You want me to drive? JIMMY FALLON The son of Jerry Sandusky, the Penn State legally changed. You cant blame him. The weird thing is hes changing it to Zimmerman. JAY LENO A new report says that Audis are more likely to be driven by men who cheat on their wives. While their wives are more likely to wind up with that Audi. JIMMY FALLON Millions of Americans await the return of the Twinkie. Meanwhile, millions of British citizens await the arrival of the royal baby. Basically were both waiting for something thats long, soft, and will probably last 80 years. CONAN OBRIEN The reason Im going to Comic-Con is Im moderating the Doctor Who panel. Ive been watching Doctor Who since the 1960s. But therell be people at Comic-Con who know a lot more than I do. If I dont know the title of a par ticular episode, or if I mispronounce the name of an alien planet, I will be shamed like Paula Deen at the BET awards. CRAIG FERGUSON Rush Limbaugh claims he is now allowed to say the N-word. After hearing this, Paula Deen said, Let me know how that works out for you. CONAN OBRIEN Researchers in New Mexico say that brain scans of prison inmates can predict whether they will commit another crime. You know an other good way to predict? Theyre already in prison.

JOHNNY EUBANKS PHOTO To the editor, And the plot thickens. How in the world does if Nick Finch will resign then we will defer the charges, get added onto one week after the arraignment to say also: the sheriff would resign and take part in a probation-like program, State Attorney Willie Meggs said in an interview? Then, as if Mr. Meggs had not squirmed and turned and tripped over his tongue already he states, that the conditional resignation of Sheriff Finch is VAGUE yet. He also called Sheriff Finch's attorney and stated they were "going to war"(Tallahassee Democrat is enough of trying to destroy a man's reputation to make yourself look a little more favorable. I am certainly not im pressed. The rest of that story, folks, is "you can run next election to try to get elected sheriff if you want to."To which we say Sheriff Nick Finch already ran in an election and guess what(?) he WON !...and for some reason it must be very disconcerting to someone for so much energy to be put into "THE RIDDING OF SHERIFF FINCH." Oh, I know, unsavory things are done in the dark, so lets send the FDLE in at 11 p.m. in the dark of night to search.... (FOR?) and lets not be decent and ask the Sheriff to let us sit down together ure out something to get him out of our and let us get one of "our own" back in the sheriffs seat (Nick Finch's seat).... because the election he won was not suiting someone...then let's replace him with an interim sheriff....."Oh, I know, another FDLE agent until we can plan WHO will be best in that seat!"... Folks, I think we have the makings for a movie. Only it is not a movie, but a livelihood at stake and that of his family and their lives. This is simply wrong and needs to be righted. When we sit back and let the course of wrong go on, we are allowing our rights to be taken away one by one. Strange, I suppose until WRONG and DECEIT and LIES attack us we are cozy to let things go on. One day I feel hurt....and it may be just too late. I, for one, will not be timid and just sit back and not speak up ... just plain wrong! This is in answer to Willie Meggs interview with the Tallahassee Democrat in Thursday, July 18 and WCTV6 July 18 and 19. When I have pondered ALL of this.....I remember reading 'The Judge McMillan in Florida several years ago. Google the story. His wife, Susan, wrote it. I encour will know Sheriff Finch may have broken the "cardinal rule" in Liberty County .....what?.... you don't run for election against one of the good old boys and WIN. The NERVE of him!!!....and him a transplant!...from Iowa. Sheriff Finch I would be one to vote for you again to day. Who will stand for right and justice with me? We can do something. Contact number (850) 488-7146 Reinstate Sheriff Finch to his right fully elected seat and get rid of the corruptness going on in state-elected positions.

WITH A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Write: The Calhoun-Liberty Journal P.O. Box 536, Bristol 32321 Exploring new depths With land barely visible on the ho rizon, the pair of divers plunged into the endless rough seas and disappeared below the surface, a diminishing trail of bubbles the only indication of the di rection they headed. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conserva tion Commission (FWC) already keep people and Floridas critters safe by air, land and sea; now they are working under the sea as well. The agency has launched a pilot dive program, and its off to a great start. The seven-mem ber dive team was created under an agreement between the FWC and its partners Florida State University, Panama City Fire Department and coordinate training and equipment use and respond to calls. The FWC por tion of the team handles calls across northwest Florida, with help from the partner agencies within their respective jurisdictions. On a recent day spent training off Panama City Beach, the team used the FWCs largest vessel, the 85-foot Gulf Sentry, as a platform. With the rest of the crew bustling on deck, organizing dive tanks and monitoring the seas and weather, pairs of divers took turns down below. As the noise of the world above diminished, the divers resorted to hand signals and the rhythm of count less hours spent training together in order to communicate. Each pair spent about 20 minutes conducting training exercises on a sunken ship, ensuring that they and their equipment were in good working order. The training keeps the team sharp. When theres a boating or dive accident or a crime is suspected, of ficers search for victims, re cover evidence and process the scene. This al lows them to be well-rounded in all aspects of their duties regarding boat ing safety and resource protec tion. The partner ship with other agencies also prevents dupli cation of efforts and allows emer gency personnel to respond more quickly to incidents. Since its formation in March, the team has continued to train together frequently and has responded to six calls off the Gulf coast. Hazardous weather and environmental conditions prevented them from getting in the water on two additional calls. But when conditions are favorable for them to get in the water, they do. Often battling cold temperatures, ex tremely limited visibility and strong currents, they have successfully helped with evidence recovery, derelict vessels and boating accidents. At one tragic boating case, divers from partner agencies recovered a body underwater. Since much of the boat and engines were on the bottom, the FWC members gathered evidence as part of the investigation. for their counterparts in other areas of the state. The FWC hopes the suc cess of the pilot program will lead to implementation statewide. Protecting Paradise Beginning Monday, Aug. 5, BHS students can come sign up for their parking decals.

For one thing, you never knew what was go ing to happen on Reds show because he didnt know either. Best I can tell, they usually just turned him loose with a boat and a cameraman and made a show out of what ever came next. I ran across Fishing with Red Holland on YouTube re cently and it made me miss the old programs. So as a trib ute to him and all the enter tainment he provided through the years, Ive compiled a list 5. Sponsor Overload work in marketing so I un derstand why pro tournament why sponsors want to be seen on television. But for cry ing out loud, its getting hard NASCAR drivers these days.

And since all the tour naments now are catch-andrelease, these same bass are probably getting caught week after week (which makes me wonder if some are biting just thought it would be cool to ry to break up the monotony and make it more relatable for us amateurs.

If I go on a Saturday, its usually about noon on and bait smell wears off. And Ive prob ably still got worm dirt from a trip to Blount stown two months ago. Keep that in mind the next time you watch a tournament. Most of those guys could go straight from their boat to church without miss ing a beat. Not ol Red, though.

But what is Music Therapy? According to the American Music Therapy Association, Music Therapy is the clinical and evi dence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an therapy supports its effectiveness in a wide variety of healthcare and educational settings. Big Bend Hospice is among a very small group of hospices nationwide that offer music therapy to all of their patients. Licensed therapists utilize Music Therapy to manage stress, alleviate pain, express feelings, im prove communication and promote physical wellness. For a hospice patient, dealing with a terminal diagno sis can be overwhelming, especially without adequate support. The live music interventions that Music Therapists (MT-BC) provide can be a great source of support and comfort. Music Therapy for Big Bend Hospice patients usually occurs one on one, though it may occur as part of a group or include the patients family if this is the patient's preference. Music Therapists (MT) almost always use live, patient preferred music. Often MTs use guitars or keyboards, but are able to use other instruments as needed. Music therapy may appear entertaining, but therapeutic goals. Since 2001, Big Bend Hospices Music Therapy program has been unique. The program has hosted international researchers and delegates and regularly hosts music therapy trainings. They have written the music that Big Bend Hospice uses with various Remem brance Services, Dedications, at Camp Woe-Be-gone and Hope for the Holidays. In August of 2008 as part of BBHs 25th Anniversary, their Music Therapists were able to record these special songs on a CD and have it professionally mastered and recorded. In May 2009, Big Bend Hospice celebrated the release of the CD, "In the Shelter of Our Tree: The Songs of Big Bend Hospice". BBH Music Therapists worked with Winterstone Productions to produce a professional recording of special songs to distribute to patients and families. music therapists, 3 part-time music therapist and four interns. MTs often co-treat with nurses, family sup port counselors, volunteers, chaplains, and/or fellow been privileged to be a part of the BBH MT team for almost six years. During that time, I have witnessed countless end of life journeys made easier through the provision of skilled Music Therapy care. Our staff is highly trained and skilled and is among the best in the nation at providing this important service. Big Bend Hospice is grateful to the community for their support Therapy Department Manager & Internship Director. completed a degree in music therapy, a full time six month internship, and passed the music therapy board musical techniques, psychology, biology/anatomy, counseling skills, and other areas. Hospices are not required by Medicare or Medicaid to provide Music Therapy services, however through donations and community support Big Bend Hospice continues to provide quality, licensed Music Therapy care to hospice patients and their families, especially in the rural areas. Funds such as these provide live, research based music therapy care at the bedside to those who need it most. Big Bend Hospice has been serving this community since 1983 with compassionate end of life care along with grief and loss counselors available to provide information and support to anyone in Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Madison, Gadsden, Liberty, Franklin or Wakulla County.

I was about to comment on a recent post by Jeff, but I realized I had a whole post in the works on this subject. Jeff was talking, in part, about some criticism Q Grrl had of a post by Hugo Schwyzer.
Q Grrl says: [...] Don't kid yourself that a man challenging other men is brave or exceptionally impressive. It's not even virtuous. More precisely, it's a base-level human reaction to injustice -- and no man should be given kudos for simply rising to the least common denominator.
Jeff says: [...] the common denominator is sexism, so to the degree that he's not being sexist, he's rising above the common denominator.
I've come across this issue before, the so-called "no cookie" issue. I think Jeff is basically on the right track, but I also think that he and Q Grrl are using "common denominator" to mean two different things.
If I understand Q Grrl correctly, she is saying that the base level of decency that anyone ought to display is to treat everyone justly and speak out against injustice, and so to do so means you're only doing the bare minimum that you ought.
Jeff seems to be saying that since the default attitude of men is a sexist one, then to be better than that average is commendable. That is false. To be at that average is deplorable. An acceptable level of behaviour is well above the average male attitude. And to acheive a level of "acceptable" in your actions is not commendable.
The difference here is between what behaviours the average man exhibits and what behaviours he ought to exhibit.
When confronted with the fact that he is part of a culture that encourages men to treat women subserviently, to assume that anything to do with housework and childcare is by default women's work, it is common for a man to proudly say "Well, I do half of the housework in my house." Or, "I do half the cooking" or whatever. The correct response to this is "so what?" After all, this is the state of affairs that ought to be the norm: two partners equally sharing a space ought to equally share the responsibilities that come with that space. In all cases, distribution of work, responsibility, resources and so forth ought to have nothing to do with sex or gender*. So when a man announces that he does his equal share, he is essentially saying, "look, I'm doing the bare minimum that I ought," and therefore deserves no acclaim or congratulations. No cookie.
There are more extreme cases too, where a man will say "I've never beaten any of my girlfriends" or "I've never raped anyone" or even, in one case I heard about, "a woman came over to my house and passed out before we got a chance to have sex, and I didn't have sex with her while she was sleeping" -- these are just stupid, and part of another discussion entirely, because I want to talk about the arguments that don't involve the "effort" of not performing overtly cruel and violent acts.
I haven't decided yet where I draw the line on the "no cookie" issue. On the one hand it is clearly true that the "feats" boasted about are not special. The fact is that for a man to treat women as equals -- at home, at work and in the general case -- is not some wonderful thing that some people might strive for. It ought to be the norm, and there's no sense in congratulating someone for acheiving what ought to be the norm. In this sense saying "I don't condescend to women when I speak to them" is similar to saying "I don't punch random people in the face" or "I don't run naked through the street thinking I am Napoleon." On the other hand, there is effort involved. The effort is not in the act itself, but in examining and overcoming the indoctrination and socialization that leads to such behaviour in the first place.
Let's say that Andy grew up in a household where he would pitch his dirty clothes in the general direction of the laundry hamper, and they would magically disappear from the floor into the hamper while he was off at school, then reappear, clean, in his drawers and closet every few days. Andy doesn't necessarily consciously think it his right to have his clothes cleaned and put away without any effort on his part, but he has been taught to not question the way things are, and that's "just the way things are." This is a clear example of male privilege at work.
Then let's say he eventually winds up sharing a residence with a female partner, Betty, and he acts the same way. Betty calls Andy on what he's (not) doing. She complains that he's stinking up the room with his laundry and that she's doing all the work of getting the laundry clean, and he changes his ways. He always puts his clothes in the hamper and starts doing the laundry every other time it needs doing because Betty wants him to, and he is considerate enough to do what she wants. Say the same thing happens with cooking, shopping, childcare, bill management and all the other shared responsibilities Andy and Betty have. Then Andy boasts that he does half the work at home, and expects feminists to fall over each other trying to be the first to thank and congratulate him.
Andy didn't actually challenge himself. While (for the sake of argument) he is sharing responsibilities and work equally he has not done anything exceptional, or even above the mean of what he ought. He could take on 75% of the responsibilites and work and still not earn a cookie, because the issue is not how much work gets done by each partner.
Andy's twin brother Charlie had exactly the same upbringing as Andy. But as he grows up he becomes more used to examining his own motivations and actions. Perhaps it takes a feminist friend to point it out to him, or perhaps he reads something online, or perhaps he happens to take a course on feminism in college, or perhaps he just realized one day how he had been heavily socialized. Anyway, he looks for ways in which his privilege manifests itself and ways to counteract it. When he starts cohabiting with his girlfriend Dana he realizes how much his upbringing has caused him to overlook the work other people do on his behalf, and to not even think of certain responsibilities as such. He tries to make sure to notice when his privilege shows itself and to work against it. Part of this effort is splitting as equals the responsibilities shared with Dana.
The net result, objectively, may seem the same as Andy's situation. Each does half the housework, each does half the parenting, each makes sure not to be dismissive of what his partner has to say and so on. But Charlie is the only one putting real, useful effort into the deal. Andy aims for equality to make Betty happy, without actually examining why his inclination is toward inequality. Charlie's decision to act against his upbringing might as well be independant of his cohabitation with Dana, in that he examines his privilege because it's the right thing to do, not just to make her happy.
That a man treats women as people and doesn't act as though what he has to say deserves to be heard and doesn't trivialize women's social difficulties and so on is not something worthy of praise. However, I think that the effort required to examine one's privilege, look for new ways it manifests itself and counteract them, is laudable. Privilege is a bit like an addiction sometimes: you have to be vigilant, conscious of every instance where it applies and prepared to go the other way. Unlike most addictions, with privilege the opportunity to lapse is always present, in everything you do, and is not necessarily obvious unless you train yourself to see it. It is difficult to come to grips with the idea that you will never be able to be lax about what you say and do, that you will never be "cured". It is easy to say "fuck it" and give in to privilege, and suffer few ill results in consequence.
There is another level of complexity when we get into the issue of a man speaking out against the sexism of other men. It ought to be the default behaviour to speak out against oppression wherever one sees it, and therefore doing so is nothing noteworthy. But in the case of a man speaking out against other men, be they friends, co-workers, family members or whatever, there is an additional factor: to do so is often to risk ostracization, hatred and, in extreme cases, violence. I suggest that it is that risk that makes speaking out against other men commendable. It goes beyond simply doing what is right to doing what is right in the face of personal harm.
Obviously, women and other oppressed groups have faced adversity much more extreme than what I'm talking about here, and the challenges men face in standing up for what is right can't even hold a candle to what oppressed groups have gone through. The challenges are still there, though, and I think it is commendable to face them when it is often so much easier to ignore one's nagging conscience and not speak out.
I've been generalizing a fair amount in this post. I've used a stereotypical example for Andy's and Charlie's childhoods. I've been ascribing traits to men in general based on my own experience. But I think the argument is valid. No, most men probably have never even encountered the concepts of privilege or entitlement. A great number (most?) don't even put in as much effort as Andy. And most of the time, when a man claims that he is not part of the oppression of women, he is dead wrong. If he claims to do half the housework, he is most likely discounting all the "invisible" work such as deciding who does what and finishing up unfinished jobs and saying "please do X now." And even if this is not the case, he probably still acts with the motivation of "pleasing the wife" or "share and share alike" rather than of mending a flaw within himself.
So when a man gets up and boasts that he does half the housework, yeah, he gets no cookie. And if he boasts that he's never raped anyone he deserves contempt for thinking that's anything close to worth boasting about. And if you ever meet the fucktard who thought he was special for not raping someone in her sleep, please feel free to inflict on him pain approaching that experienced during organ failure. But acting against one's indoctrination is difficult -- not in the acts themselves but in the attention and analysis that leads to them. It's not difficult to shut up and let a woman finish what she's saying; it can be difficult to notice that you're interrupting and realize that it's because you've been told your entire life that whatever you have to say is more important.
I'm currently somewhere in between Andy and Charlie. My privilege has to occasionally be pointed out to me because I haven't yet gotten to the point where I can reliably see its incarnations myself, but I'm working hard at it. I decided to write this post because the "no cookie" response sounded to me like no matter how much progress I made toward being the sort of person I'm trying to be, I would never be worthy of praise**. That because I started buried up to my neck in privilege digging myself up to where any decent person ought to be does not count as effort.
However, what I've realized in writing this is that the "no cookie" response seems to be to men like Andy, who want to pretend that their actions demonstrate how wonderful they are. Men like Charlie don't bother mentioning that they split responsibilities equitably with their partners because that is not the point. Unless what you are doing somehow goes above and beyond what you ought, as a moral person, to be doing anyway you deserve no congratulations, no kudos and no cookie.
* Except, obviously, where proscribed by biology or whatever. Like, if a pregnancy is planned, someone with a uterus needs to do the getting-pregnant part.
** I don't generally try to garner praise, but I'd like to be worthy of it :)

Busy, started my own Engineering Business and it's taken off faster than I thought. On the downtime, I'm not looking at any screens.

Summer? We are getting the tail end of Gord right now up here in the Great Lakes. Summer has turned into Fall during the episode. Back to the high 80's by the end of the week.

Mayor Don Wesely announced today the selection of Mark Bowen as his Chief of Staff. Bowen is currently the State Executive Director of the USDA Farm Service Agency in Nebraska. He replaces Gina Dunning, who is now the Director of the Lincoln Area Agency on Aging.
"Mark is a respected professional who has worked with public policy, business and government for 20 years," Wesely said. "He will be an asset in coordinating the multiple projects the city is working on with civic, business and community leaders. He has a well-rounded background of working with both the public and private sectors on a variety of issues. I am looking forward to having him as Chief of Staff."
Before working for the USDA, Bowen worked for U.S. Senator Jim Exon, serving ten years on his Washington, D.C. staff followed by six years as his State Director in Nebraska. Prior to working for Senator Exon, he worked for the Lincoln Public Schools.
"Lincoln is a terrific city. I'm looking forward to working with the Mayor, the City Council, city officials and community leaders on issues and projects that could make it even better," Bowen said.
Bowen is originally from Cook, Nebraska in Johnson County. He is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He and his wife, Nancy, and their twin daughters have lived in Lincoln since returning from Washington, D.C. in 1991.
Bowen will begin his duties as Chief of Staff July 3. He will be paid $69,900 annually.
