For 35 years, Gaston School of the Arts has been an important part of the Gaston County community -- a center for students young and old pursuing an interest in art, music or drama.
"I think it's an awesome thing to have that rich heritage of having an organization that is specifically nonprofit, to having endured for so long and to have such a rich history and have such a great impact on the community," said Joshua Adkins, executive director. "Thirty-five years is a pretty big anniversary, so it's really exciting to be able to be here at that time and celebrate with the school such a big accomplishment."
In the beginning
The school was started in 1983 under the name New Hope School of the Arts and as an outreach ministry of New Hope Presbyterian Church. The church's pastor at the time, the Rev. James M. Cockerham, started the program after seeing a similar concept in place at church in Decatur, Ala.
Jan Siler began teaching piano and woodwinds two years after the school's opening and has remained on staff ever since, at one point even serving as director of the school.
"It's part of my life now. I just believe in its mission," said Siler.
That mission is to "provide quality, affordable arts instruction in music, art and drama for children and adults in Gaston County, North Carolina and the surrounding area."
Over the years, the community has stood behind the school. Only a few years after opening, attendance had grown so much that the school had to find other places to offer classes, including at other churches and teachers' homes.
Eventually, the school rented out a floor of Unity Place in Saint Stephens AME Zion Church.
"That was a big move for us then. We had so much room, we thought," said Siler.
About this time the school's name changed from New Hope School of the Arts to Gaston School of the Arts.
But before long, the school would outgrow that space, too. Armstrong Memorial Presbyterian Church came up for sale and the board agreed to purchase the building. The school moved in 2008.
"It was a huge step of faith when we bought it," said Siler.
Time to play
The Gaston School of the Arts Playhouse was added in 2000 and serves as a children's playhouse. The playhouse is located in the building to the back left of the main church. Over the years, it's housed productions like "Fiddler on the Roof," "West Side Story," and most recently, Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."
Lauren Parker had auditioned for "Annie" years ago. At the time, Parker also played basketball. Rehearsals for "Annie" would have conflicted with the sport, and Parker chose basketball.
"I did get to see a lot of their performances as a child. I came home after a performance of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' and locked myself into room and cried. I wanted to do theater," she said.
Parker now serves as the artistic director of the Playhouse, directing the playhouse productions, co-directing summer drama camps and more.
A close call
In 2015, the community would once again pull together to show their support of the school. A combination of budgetary expenses and competing programs led to the decision to close the school.
"The closing of this opportunity for cultural encouragement and support for children and families for Gaston County is a profound loss," wrote Jim Cockerham in letter to The Gazette that was signed by other supporters including John and Susan Howren, Beverly Lineberger and Jan Siler.
Support from the community poured in. A new board of directors was brought in along with Adkins as the new executive director.
"When I came on board, there was a big outcry from the community in support of not losing such a great entity and a need to make sure doesn't happen. Individuals came forward to help get school back on its feet financially and board members were helping to get word out and help ensure school would be viable," he said.
Expanding their reach
Over the years, two scholarship funds have been set up: The Eugenia Evans Scholarship Fund for select students in financial need and most recently, the Maurice McDowell Scholarship Fund for select underrepresented minority students in need of financial aid.
Last year, the school was able to provide $11,000 worth to those with financial needs.
"That's largest amount we've been able to do from what I understand, as well as we were awarded grants to be able to collaborate with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Gaston County to be able to offer them programs in area of drama and art," said Adkins.
The school has expanded its offerings over the years to include offerings like photography classes, "Music for Little Mozarts," and summer camps. There are classes for all ages from pre-K to adulthood.
"You're never too old to start a hobby," said Adkins.
Coming up
The importance of this milestone year isn't lost on the faculty of Gaston School of the Arts. Multiple events have been scheduled throughout the year to celebrate.
The first event of the 35th year is a Playhouse performance of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," the largest children's production yet. The play opened Friday, Aug. 3 and its final performance is at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5.
The school will host an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26 where students, potential students, and the community are invited to learn more about the school's programs. Tours and giveaways will also be part of the event.
The next event will be an open mic program on Saturday, Sept. 15. For $5, the community will be invited to come out and show off their skills.
A faculty recital will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2019. Alumni will be invited back to perform alongside their teachers.
Groups who have supported the school in the past will be coming back to collaborate with the school's ensembles.
More information will be available as the events draw closer.
In the meantime, students and faculty alike are looking forward to at least another 35 years of the Gaston School of the Arts.
"I think it's just a unique concept, I think we have good teachers. I just think it's a wonderful place," said Siler.

Peyton Ramzy: 2020 Pro Prospect Interview
Name: Peyton Ramzy
School: Tuskegee
Position: WR
Height: 6'1″
Weight: 174
Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I would say my goal for me this year was mainly improving more on my game and working on perfecting my craft; doing more of what I didn't do in my previous seasons. I've showed scouts that i can blow by and beat defenders deep, but being undersized, I just wanted to show that dog and want that I have in me overall as a receiver.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
Things my coaches and teammates would say about me is that I bring good energy to the team, hungry for the ball and a person who loves to compete.
Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
When I watch film studying for an opponent I watch for the strengths and the weak points I feel I can take advantage of. I also like to critique my game by watching for things I might have did in previous games and improving on it to elevate my game.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from other pro prospects at my position is my hunger and want I have for the game and my route running ability; At the next level everybody is fast and quick, it's your mentality and the way you approach the game. With me being a little undersized than most receivers at my position I use that as motivation and that strives me even more to be the player I know I'm capable to be.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I am currently training; working on my breaks, strength, explosiveness, and speed. I'm also doing yoga, improving my flexibility.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Strengths I would bring to a team is my speed, route running, and quickness off the line. Im also a good teammate and will bring live energy to the field/ locker room. I love to compete and win so whatever the team needs from me for us to improve overall I'm all in.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL or any other pro leagues?
My final pitch to the NFL scouts is that I only need one chance and if the opportunity was to present itself I will take full advantage and show the ability I have to play at the next level. You will be receiving elite talent willing to work and do whatever it takes to be the best player at my position.

Immigration has been a hot topic of debate for a long time. President-elect Trump ran a successful campaign due in part to his pre-election stance on illegal immigration, how to prevent people from entering the country without documentation, and deporting millions of people. But is the road to citizenship as easy as we think? I began wondering what it's like to emigrate from another country, and why people would do so illegally.
After writing a story about an undocumented immigrant last year I came under some scrutiny by people horrified that I'd placed this person in danger, and by others who criticized me for even writing about this person; this kind, caring, creative, selfless human being was attacked online because he should've "done it the right way" just "like the rest of us" have done.
Now, I'm not going to delve into a lengthy history about how our country was colonized and then established. I think by now we all know how the European settlers came here and destroyed the lives of Native Americans across the board. Is that what people mean when they refer to people gaining citizenship "like the rest of us"? You've heard this before I'm sure: Unless you're a Native American, you came from an immigrant. There's validity to that statement.
Being an immigrant isn't easy. I have often wondered about the inhumane living conditions, or how corrupt their nation's government must be, and how impoverished people must be to decide that leaving their loved ones and friends to trek hundreds or thousands of miles, potentially swimming across a river, to gain access to a country where they essentially don't exist, where they are afforded no protections and no rights, are basically starting over from scratch, and how all of those things are better options than staying where they were born. I've read accounts of immigrants coming here to work so they can afford healthcare to keep their loved ones from having to endure painful and life-threatening illnesses. Others work tirelessly to earn a savings so their children can have a chance to go to college and live long, prosperous lives, things many people – including myself – took or take for granted. Many of these people go years upon years without seeing their loved ones. I miss my parents terribly when I go a few months without seeing them; I can't fathom how difficult it would be to go years.
I reached out to Ocracoke resident Alfredo "Freddy" Trejo Contreras for an interview about his immigration story. Over a number of texts we arranged to meet, and along the way I learned his wife Courtney is also an immigrant, born in South Africa. When I went to their home on a Saturday I was greeted by Courtney, who smiled and invited me in as if we'd been life-long friends. We walked upstairs where I met Freddy; he too engaged with me as if we'd known each other for years. I didn't have many questions lined up because I wanted him to tell me his story, and simply by looking at him, you'd think his path to citizenship was easy, that he's lived an easy life devoid of any hardships or struggles.
Freddy decided to come to the United States because he wanted to see something new and do new things. His father and sister were already here, and Freddy was, "…ready to get out of my hometown." Freddy's hometown in Mexico is small, smaller than Ocracoke with about 200 or so residents, and doesn't present a lot of opportunities. In general, Freddy believes large amounts of people leave Mexico for economic reasons.
"Fault lies with the Mexican government," Freddy explained. "If you're willing to risk your life, spend thousands of dollars [to enter the U.S.], you have to have a good reason."
As a fifteen-year-old, Freddy (unbeknownst to his father) began his trek from Mexico to the U.S. Freddy's journey began with a 12-hour bus ride from Hidalgo, Mexico to an abandoned property in the middle of nowhere. From there a truck driver picked them up and drove them to a house near the Rio Grande, then they proceeded to walk for two hours to reach the river. Then they paid someone to take them across the river on a raft, and were directed to yet another abandoned property, this time in the United States. A van picked them up and dropped them in a remote location, and from there they walked for three days and two nights towards Houston.
During this time the group of immigrants was discovered by U.S. Immigration officers, so they ran. Freddy and two other people became separated from the rest of the group and their guide. The three made it to Riviera, Texas. Exhausted and without food or water for days, they continued walking towards Houston. Freddy recounted how the trio walked by U.S. citizens and police, and how surprised he was that no one turned them in or picked them up.
They finally found someone who would take them Houston. With the remaining money they had (about $20.00), this stranger bought them food. After they ate, the stranger took them to a shed where they hid until the man came back to move them to yet another abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. After spending the night in this abandoned house, the trio awoke to find no one in sight. They waited, but began to realize the stranger wasn't coming back. So, they began walking. They initially struggled to find out which way led to Houston, finally asking for help. Again, no one reported them. Freddy and his traveling companions began walking north. A motorist pulled over, offered the immigrants a ride, gave them $40.00, and dropped them off at a public bus station. They loaded the bus and Freddy spoke of how welcoming the other travelers were.
They were given vouchers to ride the bus to Corpus Christi, then purchased tickets to allow them to complete their journey to Houston. Once in Houston, an elder was contacted. Freddy and the two people he was with arrived safely and were reunited with their guide. Freddy arranged transport to Washington, North Carolina, and a short time later – and after spending about $10,000 from start to finish – arrived on Ocracoke Island.
"If we could do it another way we would. It's embarrassing to be here illegally. We sort of feel ashamed by it," Freddy said.
After obtaining an ITIN (International Tax Identification) card, Freddy began working. As a fifteen-year-old who hadn't graduated with a high school diploma, Freddy worked multiple restaurant jobs on the island. His ITIN card allowed him to legally work, and taxes were taken out of each paycheck despite his illegal residency.
"Being here illegally isn't fun," Freddy told me, "It's embarrassing. No one is proud to be here illegally."
Six years ago, and after deciding to remain in the United States, Freddy began the process of becoming a United States Resident. He continued learning English and became a United States Resident, which officially gave him legal status and allowed him to gain all Constitutional rights and privileges except the right to vote or serve on a jury. Interestingly, Freddy (while still a U.S. resident) was called for jury duty, as are many U.S. residents and those with ITIN cards, simply because they have tax ID's. Immigrants who are not citizens are not permitted to serve on juries, but they do have records of their whereabouts and work history since they are issued those tax ID numbers. So, they are "in the system", so to speak, and can be notified to serve. It then becomes the responsibility of the individual to notify their local government of their immigration status.
Normally, immigrants become U.S. Residents before they can apply for citizenship. After being a Resident for five years, Freddy applied for citizenship over a year ago. The government conducts thorough and extensive background checks on anyone applying for citizenship, ensuring no criminal activity has taken place. Applicants must also demonstrate knowledge of American history and civics, and be able to speak English. Freddy let me borrow his study guide, which included 100 questions. Of these 100 questions only ten would be on the test, and applicants must correctly answer six or more of the ten questions. (View the online version and quiz yourself here.)
In April of 2016 Freddy became a United States citizen. As a Mexican immigrant, Freddy had to wait longer for citizenship than people who emigrate from other countries around the world. While he waited to be granted citizenship, Freddy accomplished a variety of life-altering and wonderful goals. First, Freddy learned English, and he speaks it fluently. He worked multiple jobs his first summer, then, because of exhaustion, gradually whittled down his work load, eventually staying with one business for nine years. He wasn't able to attend high school because his schedule was so demanding, but he also stated he had a lack of interest in school due to boredom. He excelled in his classes, but wasn't challenged, so he focused on working and making a living. Freddy continued by saying his father encouraged him to attend school here, but because he wasn't an English speaker at the time, he felt he wouldn't do well.
"I didn't speak the language. It would be impossible for me to speak the language; that would be awful, so I didn't [go to school,]" he said. "It took, I want to say, 10 to 11 years to feel confident [speaking English]. And I'm still learning, but I now feel confident speaking in English.".
Courtney and Freddy met in 2010 while they both worked at Dajio, a local restaurant. Courtney, who had eyes for Freddy from the moment she saw him, said he was sort-of propelled into learning English when they started dating because, as she stated, "I talk a lot. He started dating a very talkative lady. And that helped."
"I learned so much from being with her," Freddy said, "She loves to read, she loves to write, and so I feel like that somehow rubbed off on me. We have gone through emails and text messages from when I first started dating her and we see a huge difference in the writing and the spelling."
After Courtney finished working the summer season of 2010, she had plans to move to South Africa, her father's home country. "I had a crush on him long before he noticed me. I gave him my number multiple times and I would invite him to go do stuff with me, but he thought I was just being friendly." As result, and knowing how much Freddy loves the sport, Courtney invited herself to a soccer match with him. After the match, Courtney said he had intended to take her home, but she wasn't giving up. They went to the beach, and being the brave person she is, she kissed him. "It was a shock!" Freddy said. "Normally it's the guy who takes the first step, but…" Courtney continued, saying, "I'd liked him for months, and he finally woke up to it." Freddy went on to explain all her text messages and communications with him finally made sense in that moment. They have been together since.
A month after they began dating, Courtney traveled to Kansas, where she spent much of her childhood, then moved to South Africa four months later. Between Kansas and moving to South Africa, Freddy came to Kansas to see Courtney, and she then stopped here to see Freddy. Once in South Africa, Freddy went to visit Courtney, but much of the relationship's growth happened from different continents. After several more months they met in Europe, and then she moved back to Kansas to finish her college education. While completing her course work, Courtney visited Freddy one more time on Ocracoke before finally moving back.
All in all, they saw each other a total of seven times over two years before being together on Ocracoke. "It was really hard. It was rough. It wasn't easy, but we managed," Freddy said. Courtney continued, saying, "With long-distance relationships it's all or nothing. I was like 'I'm in this because I want to marry you' – why would you spend two years with somebody that you're not going to end up with? We went from him not even knowing I had been flirting with him for months to 'okay, you know what? I want to marry you, so let's figure this out!'" They eventually got their own place and were married in 2015.
While Courtney was in South Africa, Freddy began working towards earning his GED.
"I had wanted to go to back to school before, but I was finding there were always obstacles. One, I didn't feel confident enough in myself, but she brought that back; she helped me with that. She'd say 'you can do it; you're intelligent, you're smart, I'm sure you can do it without a problem'. And so after dating her and realizing it was possible, I decided to go back."
Freddy felt he needed to go back to school, to go to college, that he needed to do something, but he was afraid he wouldn't succeed. He began taking classes for his GED, and along the way he met Peter Vankevich. Peter was instrumental in organizing a group so English speakers could learn Spanish, and Spanish speakers could learn English. Then Freddy met Gary Davis, and they taught each other their native languages. Gary also helped Freddy learn English outside of the community groups. They would meet at the church and Gary, "would bring magazines: Economist magazine, New York Times newspaper, National Geographic magazines; sophisticated papers with sophisticated writing. He would bring articles from the internet; he would meet up with me and talk to me and would go through passages together. He corrected me, which happened a lot at the beginning, but I learned so much from him. I learned so many words and about sentence structure; he helped so much with my GED."
Freddy had never attended a school in the U.S., so he wasn't sure what to expect. Up until this point, his knowledge of English was mostly from small interactions with English speakers, which primarily occurred while Freddy was working in restaurants.
"Gary helped me so much. The GED has five sections: math, science, reading [comprehension], writing, and social studies. My English reading and writing scores were my highest." Courtney explained that people can elect to take the GED in Spanish, but Freddy took it in English. He scored in the 90th percentile on the GED test, quite a remarkable accomplishment. "I was really proud of that, and I was really grateful for [Gary's] help because I could really see the results."
After successfully passing the GED, Freddy enrolled in college, taking classes through College of the Albemarle. He was interested in international relations; however, to find good jobs within that field most people have to go through Doctoral programs. So he changed his path slightly and began taking courses to earn an international business degree. He and Courtney both love to travel, so Freddy wanted to choose a path where they could still both travel, but at the same time be able to earn a good living and provide a positive impact on the community. He switched his education path again, this time focusing on becoming a medical translator/interpreter. They found Davidson College, and Freddy began working towards earning a certificate to become a medical interpreter. In 2015 Freddy completed the program and earned the certificate; now he intends to continue working on the international business degree program.
Freddy began doing an internship at Ocracoke Health Center, providing his bilingual skills to patients and staff. Soon he became a medical translator, helping migrant farm workers on the mainland communicate with medical professionals. He was able to work and do his practicum at the same time, which allowed him to complete the requirements while gaining experience. Now he is the outreach coordinator for Hyde County and, after more schooling, serves as a chief counselor at the clinic. He works three days a week on Ocracoke and two days in Swan Quarter.
But Freddy's journey and accomplishments don't end there.
2016 was the National Park Service's 100th birthday; had it been any other year, Freddy would have been sworn in as an American citizen in Raleigh. When Freddy was approved for citizenship – which happened after spending thousands of dollars, learning a new language, going back to school, and earning a unique position in his community – he traveled to the Wright Bothers' National Monument in Kill Devil Hills, NC, for the ceremony. Speaking about gaining citizenship, Freddy said, "I had mixed feelings about becoming a citizen in April and voting a few months later in November; it all happened in a short period of time. I worry about what people will think because of the color of my skin, and because I speak with an accent. I don't worry about it here; this community is not like that, but I don't know about other places."
Despite concerns about being stereotyped, Freddy remains optimistic. He's happy to be with Courtney on Ocracoke, and proud to have achieved such a wide array of successes, including his recent citizenship, and all the rights that come with it.
"Becoming a citizen and being able to vote all in the same year felt really nice, it felt really great."
Freddy was also on the first annual Festival Latino de Ocracoke committee in 2016, and helped produce the wonderful cultural event sponsored by Ocracoke Alive. In this video link below, you can see Freddy emceeing the evening performances along with Dave Tweedie of Ocracoke Alive (starting at about 11:35.) Shortly after the Festival Latino on November 12th, Freddy agreed to join the Ocracoke Alive board.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svKIDTeMKYE&t=874s

And the catch up is happening. Finally, day 2 photos of our cousins trip to the lake. With the boys back in school this week, things were a little more productive up in these here parts. Some sh*t got done and I'm beginning to feel a little less battered. I still haven't managed to get through the first episode of "Peaky Blinders". I just keep falling asleep. Suppose the fact that I start trying to watch somewhere around 10pm, tucked up in my cozy bed, doesn't really help with the effort of staying awake. But its the only part of the day when I get the opportunity to watch anything. Sure we'll keep trying. One of these nights I'll surely manage to get through episode 1.
Bright and early on day 2. Cos none of these kids know what a sleep in is, we're up and out and ready for some tubing.
"Hi Keane".
Cullen and James.
A lot of discussions around how fast everyone does or doesn't want the tube to go.
James, Keane and Paul wanted a fast tubing experience, Cullen a more moderate speed. So the fast boys go first.
Cullen enjoys watching the boys get tossed around.
A bold move by Paul to "surf" the tube.
Which resulted in a overboard situation.
Time for all 4.
Cullen and I are abandoned in the middle of the lake, while the rest of the lads head off for another round of tubing.
"Bye fellas".
We dropped anchor for a while, to enjoy a splash around. Thats Keane taking a dive.
Dinara thinks trying to push your child underwater is pure comedy.
Captain James drives us back to dock.
The group shot.

Overeating and drinking at holiday parties can leave you feeling less than Merry come January. The key? Finding balance in your holiday routines can leave you with the best of both worlds.
For instance, overeating at a few holiday meals during December isn't going throw your entire metabolism into a retroactive haze, yet keeping the consumption throttle on "high" throughout the entire month will. So enjoy the extra pie and turkey with gravy on special occasions, while sticking to a healthy, lower calorie eating plan during the off-time to balance the effects. Again, don't starve yourself! Not eating all day and then binging during Christmas dinner will not only prompt you to overeat, but studies have shown that it may also cause your body to instinctively hoard and store those extra calories for fear that it may not see another meal for a while. It's the classic holiday lose-lose pitfall; don't fall in to it!
When you find yourself filling up your holiday plate, try to make wise choices. Simply put, the more nutritious foods will leave less room for the unhealthy options. Also, one of the most overlooked tasks is to try and enjoy and savor your holiday meal. Rushing through your dinner plate will prompt you to fill up on seconds before your body has even had a chance to digest and register what you've already consumed (this takes about 20 minutes). So take your time and enjoy. if you still want more after a half hour or so, then go for it!
Another trick to curbing holiday calories is to consider your party cocktail choices more carefully. A five ounce serving of wine contains about 118 calories, regular beer around 140 to 240 calories, depending on the variety. Liquors like vodka and gin contain 98 calories per 1.5 ounce serving, and there are 343 calories in just 1 cup of egg nog. The daily-recommended caloric intake for individuals not looking to lose weight is around 1,940 for women and 2,550 for men. A six-pack of malted lager can run up over 1,400 calories and 4 servings of eggnog and rum equals about 1,600 calories. Those beverage choices don't leave much room for food in your daily caloric allowance, and something tells me you'll likely want to eat even more of after all those drinks! However, a couple glasses of vino or a vodka and soda water with a splash of cranberry can make a much smaller dent in your daily allowance.
Enjoy the good times, the laughter and the heartfelt togetherness of the holidays knowing that you'll enjoy the coming year without the regret that often accompanies the holiday cheer. Remember: A healthy, balanced mind and body is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones.
"A couple glasses of vino or a vodka and soda water with a splash of cranberry can make a much smaller dent in your daily caloric allowance than beer or egg nog."


text: Didn't do so much actually productive work stuff today; more farming email, discussing and triaging 2007.1 bugs, and discussing release issues (fcrozat was mildly against gedit-root and kate-root being in 2007.1, I have outlined my reasons why I think he's wrong...). I did patch bittorrent-gui to download to ~/Desktop by default, though; previously it was trying to use ~/Desktop/Bittorrent Downloads, which a) doesn't really fit our policy and b) was failing every time on my system. Visited an old friend today. Back when I first knew him he wasn't really into computers, but probably through my influence he got interested, and he's now a full-blown hardware enthusiast. I've more or less lost touch with the high-end hardware and gaming scene in the last few years, since I stopped playing PC games and since even boring regular market hardware became way more than fast enough for my needs. So it was kinda cool to visit him and watch him play Battlefield II and Battlefield 2142 on his pretty high-end gaming rig; it's amazing to see how far the FPS gaming genre has come in terms of graphics, interface, design, and even odd stuff like usability since the days I was playing regularly. I couldn't resist throwing a 2007.1 RC1 One disc into his system to see how it handled it. Came up with everything working and the correct resolution on his 1440x900 monitor right from boot - very good. Except the sound doesn't work, because it's an X-Fi. Sigh. Damn Creative. My father appears to have been sold something of a pup when it comes to a wireless router. He has a Netgear WGT624. Ever since I came home, it's been dropping the internet connection periodically (quite frequently), requiring a router reboot. Google found several people suffering such issues, and the common diagnosis appears to be overheating. This would make sense, as it will be doing more work with two of us using the wireless than it previously was with just one. I think tomorrow we'll try upgrading the firmware and if that doesn't help I'll go out and get him a cheap dd-wrt supporting router.

Happy Thursday! There are lots of big changes coming up for me, including a big rebuild of my Bettina.ca and PinUpClass.com websites so they work well together and better help you find out what I'm up to these days. I've been so busy performing and teaching and taking photos since I made the big move to New York City in 2010 that I haven't had much time to spend making my websites look pretty. This page is the first step, and in the coming weeks I'll be organizing and streamlining the rest, so bear with me and let me know if you encounter any broken links or bugs, I'd really appreciate it.
Now what cool things are coming up? For starters, I've started offering my classes in live online format, so if you've always wanted to learn how I do my hair, pose for photos, organize a tour etc, you can now join me from the comfort of your home/car/office from anywhere in the world that you can get online to live stream my class, and ask questions etc. The next class is this Saturday, Feb 20 and I'll be talking about Vintage Style for the Career Gal, sharing how I incorporated pin-up style into many different corporate settings. I'm so pleased to have this class sponsored by MY favourite pin-up model Bernie Dexter, who is offering a special discount code to all registered students, AND Bachelor Pad Magazine, who has generously donated a magazine that I'll sign and give away to one lucky student at the end of class.
I also have a full-time home photo studio in Brooklyn, NY, filled with vintage furniture, props, backdrops, clothing and accessories, so if you are looking to get new photos as a special treat for yourself or a loved one, new promo photos or unique headshots, check out this link for pricing options, andclick here to see samples of my work. Weekends book up pretty quickly but I can likely squeeze you in on short notice weekdays during the day and some evenings if I'm not performing.
That's it for now, thanks for popping by and keep checking back for updates, or to keep it easy, join my email list using the form on the left to be the first to hear any big news!

text: Hunting Licenses Jun 26, 2009 16:36:48 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by BackroadsXJ on Jun 26, 2009 16:36:48 GMT -5 Just a note to the hunters out there, the 2009 hunting licenses are on sale NOW! The reason this is important is that the 1st doe licenses for this upcoming year will start to go on sale on July 13th, instead of August as in years past. As many of you know the popular counties upstate sell out the first day, that is why it is important to have your application in on the first day. Another change is that you can now send to your local county court house for any doe license, for any management unit, instead of Harrisburg as you did last year. Being that the new PALS electronic issuing system keeps track of licences sold, this allows any county treasuer to issue a doe licence for any management unit that has them left. This should give you a better chance of getting a license in Potter, Tioga, etc.

Many patients will agree that one of the more unpleasant parts of being in hospital is the toilet experience.
At DTU Startup Fair on October 10, startup MeasureLet pitched how they intend to improve that experience with a data transmitting toilet.
A Buzzing Tech Fair
At this year's High Tech Summit, the main library at DTU was transformed into a buzzing tech fair where 43 startups showcased their products. To top it off, seven startups were invited on stage for a pitch competition and a chance to win a prize of 30.000 DKK and an exclusive mentor package sponsored by Milestone Systems.
Startup company MeasureLet took the prize with an ambition of improving hospital experience with a technical toilet.
The toilet will be able to measure patients' urin and feaces, and transfer the data directly to the patient file. This will increase efficiency in hospitals considerably, as well as make today's toilet routine much more pleasant for both patient and nurse.
The company is founded by Marie Lommer Bagger and Louise Bangsgaard who both have backgrounds as nurses, and worked together at Rigshospitalet before starting their company.
The additional seven startups competing for the prize were Obital, OptoCeutics, TresActio, Nordetect, Brain Capture and MattAR. "If these companies are a reflection of Danish innovation, this ecosystem has a bright future", said Ken Singer, Managing Director at SCET, UC Berkeley, after the pitch competition.
CEO and founder of Milestones Systems, Lars Thinggaard, recommended all students to start a company right after University to get all the experience that the startup journey provides. "We help each other to make sure that nobody is falling off the chair. We look at our intentions, behaviors and the conversation helps us to see our own blind spots," said Thinggaard in his keynote talk.
DTU's ecosystem provides an ideal base for starting a company, and, at the fair, the four organizing partners presented how to get involved in the many entrepreneurship activities in DTU's ecosystem.
"The fact that an industry event was open to students really showed that DTU is serious about engaging all parts of their ecosystem. This is what is needed to put Copenhagen on the startup map with The Silicon Valley, Tel Aviv, and Berlin. Well done!", said Ken Singer, Managing Director at SCET.
A recent impact analysis shows that DTU has formed more than two start-ups per week since 1999, proving one of the reasons why DTU now ranks the 57th on Reuters Top 100: The World's Most Innovative Universities – 2018, and number 1 in the Nordic countries and number 13 in Europe.

"Digital Integral Cloak": New Invisibility Cloak Uses Flat Screen Displays
A Rochester Cloak is a cloaking device that can be built using inexpensive, everyday materials. Developed by University of Rochester researchers, the device features four standard lenses that allows an object to appear invisible as the viewer moves several degrees away from the optimal viewing positions. Using the same mathematical framework as the Rochester Cloak, University of Rochester researchers have been able to use flat screen displays to extend the range of angles that can be hidden from view. Their method lays out how cloaks of arbitrary shapes, that work from multiple viewpoints, may be practically realized in the near future using commercially available digital devices. The Rochester researchers have shown a proof-of-concept demonstration for such a setup, which is still much lower resolution than the nearly perfect imaging achieved by the Rochester Cloak lenses. But with increasingly higher resolution displays becoming available, their new 'digital integral cloak' will continue to improve.

Note that the operation on 1-Navi button phones has not been tested. The Go to function may work by pressing the C key, however I guess that it does not work. Please feel free to improve the hooks -- all sources are included in the package. <solved: 1-Navi?-key phones are ok since version 1.01>

JUDITH HELFAND: -- when you were exactly 14?
ARTHUR DUNCAN: Yeah, a short time in the hosiery mill and then a little later onwent into the cotton mill.
HELFAND: But that was when you were 14. So if you could tell us, we movedbecause of the boll weevil.
DUNCAN: Yeah ok. Tell that--
HELFAND: We had to move because of the boll weevil, we moved into town
DUNCAN: Yeah.
HELFAND: I was 14 and I was old enough to work and I started to work. Because wedidn't how, what age you were when you told us that story.
DUNCAN: Yeah okay, you ready? Okay. Whenever -- whenever the boll weevils -- thereason we went to cotton mill work, in 19-and-23 the boll weevils drove us out of the country and we just -- we had to go out of the country to get somewheres where we could make a living. And we went -- moved in Newnan, Georgia, and I was 14 years old, old enough to go to work in the mill. And I went to work shortly 00:01:00after we moved to Newnan, maybe a month or two. I went to work on the 26th day of December, 19-and-23. And, ah, so I went to work in the mill, in the hosiery mill, and I worked there just a short time. I think I made 50 cents a day at that -- working when I was working for 'em. I'm not sure about that, but when I went to the hospital -- to the cotton mill in 19-- in early 1924, I remember that. And I was 14 years old. Well, I'd have been 15 in July when I went to work early in the year. But I went to work in the mill. As I said, I went to work for the fabulous salary of $5.18 for 60 hours, worked 60 hours. So -- but the boll weevil was the cause of ever being there. But I thought that was a good salary. But I thought that was a good salary. I thought I was going to be able to support the whole family with that $5.18. So, you see, your time changes. Now they think about if a (inaudible)'s going to give a fella $5.18 cents a hour, he 00:02:00still wouldn't want the job. (laughs) And then I worked 60 hours for it. But, anyway, it was a -- we was satisfied. Even in the years that we didn't know -- we didn't have no picture show. We didn't have no screen doors. We didn't have no screen windows, and I remember when we didn't even have a glass window. You shut the windows like you do a door. And -- but we was happy. We didn't know no better. We didn't know nothing else. And, you know, television and radio and telephone, we didn't have nothing like that, no electric lights.
GEORGE STONEY: Talk about your first radio.
DUNCAN: First radio? Well, we bought -- we lived in East Newnan. It'as 19-and-25whenever we got our first radio. My old-- my brother, he was working and he bought that first radio. And he give something over $100 for it and it was an Atwater Kent. And, ah, it had -- you had a speaker that you could put anywhere -- anywhere you wanted to. And Daddy would have a radio in the other room and have the speaker in the room where we was at. But now we enjoyed that radio 00:03:00because it was just a wonderful thing and, ah, didn't many people have one. So we really had -- we had accounting meetings at our house a lot of times get to listening to the radio, the fights and Jack Dempsey and the different prizefighters and things that'd come over the radio. And, boy, it was wonderful. We thought it was great. We was living up in the sticks then, you know.
STONEY: Tell us about the first time you heard Roosevelt on the radio.
DUNCAN: It'as whenever he was running, but I just -- I --
STONEY: Just start, uh mention Roosevelt.
DUNCAN: Yeah I will. Whenever Roosevelt first was running, I don't rememberjust exactly, but he would -- he would come on the radio. Didn't many people have radios and, ah, but he was a man that begin to give people hope from the very first words he ever spoke, because he was a -- a man that was crippled all of his life -- well, it wasn't all of his life, but it happened when he was young -- and he knowed hardship and he had sympathy in the heart for poor 00:04:00people. He wanted to help poor people. And, therefore, he won the heart of the poor people right to start with over the radio and everything. And then he had what they called whistle stops. He'd come through the town, wouldn't get off'n the train, just get on the back and stop, and he just won people everywhere he went. Roosevelt was a great speaker and he was a great statesman and he was the right man at the right time.
STONEY: Certainly was. Certainly was. (laughs)
HELFAND: I wonder about those fireside chats. If you were the only house in theneighborhood that had a radio --
DUNCAN: Well --
HELFAND: Did people come to hear the fireside chats?
DUNCAN: Yeah, some. And they'd -- whenever he'd have the fireside chats,sometimes it would come out in the paper that he was going to have one, you know, ahead of time. And then you could go hear it. And he talked more just like he was talking to his family than anybody -- that's a fireside chat. He was just talking to his family and telling 'em what hardships was and everything, you know. And he had them even after he was elected President, you know, for years and years. You know, if he wanted something to go over, he'd have a fireside 00:05:00chat and get the people on his side. And that was the purpose of the fireside chat, to get people to agree with him and realize what he was standing for and what he was wanting to be done.
STONEY: Do you remember when he closed the banks?
DUNCAN: Yeah, I remember when he closed the banks. He wrote about in 1932, youknow, when he was elected, it was during the Depression Years. It was terrible years we had. Everybody just -- well, everybody was done retired then. Nobody had to work. So they always had to (inaudible) who would take and just see that everybody else did, too, you know. That's what they said, you know. Of course, it was laid on him and I don't believe now it was, but, anyway, he would have -- he'd have them fireside chats to tell people about them things, you know. And people would -- would respond to him. So you had -- I mean they was ready for a change. People was ready for a change. Anybody could have been elected other than what was in there. They was ready for a change and, you know, we get that-away sometime. We get ready for a change, sometime we make a mistake by 00:06:00doing it, but we get ready for it sometimes and we want the change to be made. And he was a man that could turn the water -- turn the tide.
STONEY: Did you ever write to him?
DUNCAN: Not personally, no. I never did write to him. I spoke to him and talkedto him personally, but I never did -- never did write to him.
STONEY: Talk about it. How did it happen?
DUNCAN: Well, he nev-- what he would do, he --
STONEY: And mention Roosevelt.
DUNCAN: Roosevelt. When Roosevelt was going to go through town they would alwaysput ahead that he was going to go through there. And he would go through and if he didn't -- and people'd be -- I mean they'd gang up like they did on a mystic day to see Roosevelt come through town. And he would stop sometimes and spare a few words to people, but he didn't have time to really greet people like, you know, he would have loved to and like we'd have loved, too. But he was -- everybody just loved him. And you would go for miles to see Roosevelt even come through town, you know. He was -- I -- I thought it was a great thing whenever I seen him and talked to him and told him I was sponsoring him and pulling for him 00:07:00and everything like 'at. Like I said, you couldn't have much personal talk with him.
STONEY: Did you ever hear Gorman speak?
DUNCAN: No, sir, I never did hear Gor-- Gorman speak. I heard of him, but Inever did hear him speak.
STONEY: Because he used the radio, too.
DUNCAN: Yeah, Gorman used the radio. But there still was very few radios back inthem days, you know.
HELFAND: Did you hear Roosevelt talk about the NRA on the radio?
DUNCAN: Oh, yeah.
HELFAND: (inaudible) Could you talk about that?
DUNCAN: Yeah, he convinced people that that NRA, that was a -- you know, it waswhat we was going -- in other words, we was going to go into a new program. It was sort of like going from the Old Testament to the New Testament. We had a different way w's living under. And he was beginning to explain what that New Deal was for and how it would be. And it was great. It was a great inspiration to the people. And, as I said, he first started out, you know, with the CC Camps, (inaudible) the CC Camp. And, you know, a lot of families was supported by them boys that CC Camp. And be started a -- the - his relief program, we 00:08:00called it, you know, where you'd have jobs. He said, "Folks don't want to -- they want to work. They don't want to -- you know, just to have charity handed to 'em." So we had different projects we worked on. Now one time I worked on -- in the cemetery in Newnan. I worked on the PWA. I worked in the cemetery in Newnan and I'd work so many hours each week, you know, and get 30 cents a hour, I believe it was we get for it. But in a way it was a lifesaver. And that Clark Street in Newnan, I helped pave that street, a-pushing cement with a wheelbarrow in Clark Street in Newnan in the PWA under Roosevelt. So it was a great thing that he did and that was part of the beginning to bring the NRA into focus to get people to have confidence and to believe in what he did and do what he told 'em to do. And he generally talked people into doing what he wanted done. 00:09:00
HELFAND: Now that same feeling of inspiration and hope, is that what the textileworkers felt when they said, "Yes, I'm going to join the union"? And could you talk about that?
DUNCAN: Him a-giving us hope?
HELFAND: Yeah, and how did that hope affect people to join the union?
DUNCAN: Well, ah, I -- as far as joining the union's concerned, I don't know howthat helped people on -- on -- unless they got the impression that he was strictly for a union and, therefore, they wanted to do what Roosevelt said. Anything that Roosevelt said was what they wanted to do. So they got the impression that he was for the union. Now he never did come out and say he was for the union, but he was in favor of people getting equal rights and equal treatment and the right treatment and everything, which the union did represent. So it sounded like that that was what he was advocating, although he did not say, "I want you to join the union." But he did say at one time, "You ought to have the right to organize if you want to." He did say that. 00:10:00
STONEY: You've got it right and a lot of people were misled.
DUNCAN: Misled.
STONEY: You're quite right. He's got it absolutely right. Yeah.
HELFAND: Now I met a young woman who was a union organizer a couple of monthsago. I was in Cincinnati actually with George. George was selling some of his old movies to people. And she said to me, "Judy, you know, people don't just wake up one morning and say, 'Okay, I'm going to join up'."
DUNCAN: No.
HELFAND: Something has to happen there. She said, "What happened?" I said, "Idon't know what happened." She said, "Well, you go down South, find out what was going on there to make people get the guts to join." So if you could help us get inside of that a little bit, it'd be great.
DUNCAN: Well, if -- the reason -- I think the reason why they done things likepeople joining the union is just like I said to start with. They was, first, wanting to better themself. They had been at the bottom of the barrel so long that they was grabbing at straws. They wanted to get out of anything. And that give 'em some hope and some far-sighted idea that they could get things better. 00:11:00And that's the main thing that convinced people that they ought to organize, because they understood that one man controlling the mills, that could fire-hire and everything, they needed a bunch of people to get together where one man couldn't have the control. And I think that was the idea of them wanting to join the union. It was talked over and discussed and (inaudible). You know, in other words, a person would come up to you and say, "Well, you know, the boss done so-and-so to me." "Yeah? If you belonged to the= union they couldn't do that. They couldn't do you that-away if you belonged to the union." And, therefore, they just won it over by saying things like that, you know. "They couldn't a-fired you that-away if you belonged to the union" or "They couldn't have done that to you."
STONEY: Now were there black people in the union?
DUNCAN: No, sir, never did know of no black people being in it, because at thatparticular time black people did not work in the mills. We didn't have any black people in the mills because the South was -- they was prejudiced at that time. Now I wasn't -- I never was. We was raised on the farm and we was raised with 00:12:00colored people. I played with colored children and everything else all my life. My daddy and them always told us not to, ah, ah, discriminate against because they were a different color. But they did tell us not to mix with 'em, you know, racially and things like that. But we was not taught to discriminate against a colored person, but at that time if they'd have put a colored person in the mill to work, everybody else would have walked out. So they was not in the union at that time -- not in the South.
STONEY: Very useful. Yeah. Good.
HELFAND: I wonder about self-esteem.
DUNCAN: About what?
HELFAND: How people felt about themselves. If you worked under somebody that hadso much control over you, how did that make people feel emotionally?
DUNCAN: Well, it made you feel like --
HELFAND: Could you start aboutdescribe how someone worked over you
DUNCAN: Well, if somebody was over you and they had so much authority over you,you felt like you was more of a slave than you was a free worker. You felt like 00:13:00that, "Well, when I'm here, I'm under his control." And you was. You was under their control and you had to do what they told you to do or do what they told you not to do, not to do it. And, ah, you -- you could go or come whenever you wanted to. Now when you went home, they still can have control over you, but you felt like, "Well, if I do anything here," like I said, if you do anything that was illegal, like drinking or something like that, it would cause you later to get fired. So, you see, you felt like that you was sort of a slave like in a way, sense of speaking. You was a slave to what you was working under, you know, and that, therefore you wanted -- anybody that's a slave wants freedom.
STONEY: Now did you ever -- when you were working at the machine, what did youdream about doing?
DUNCAN: Well, the biggest thing -- when I was working on machinery, most of thetime that I trained about and studied about while I was on the machinery was a shorter way to do what I was doing, so I could get it done quicker and have more 00:14:00leisure time. And I would spend -- try to figure out a different, shorter, or better way to do whatever I was doing. Even when I got the job of working on the machinery, they'd show me the way it wasn't done and I went straight to studying a way to get through it quicker. And a general way, you could find it, a way to get through it quicker. And even when I was learning that, I'd tell 'em, "So-and-so can do that quicker than you can." And the fella said, "Well, you got the right idea. You need to do it the quickest way you know how." And that's what -- that was my main thought in working on machinery or any other part I was working on, was how to get it done quicker with less effort.
STONEY: Now could you -- you've been in church all your life.
DUNCAN: Yeah.
STONEY: Could you talk about the churches and the unions and the bosses and whatit was like?
DUNCAN: Well, I don't think that, ah, the union ever really got in churches. Ithink that -- I don't think that ever really -- I think the union stayed out of churches. I never did hear of nobody getting any kind of confusion in the church, but now, as I said, I worked with one time when I worked at East Newnan, 00:15:00we had a superintendent by the name of -- I can't even think of his name now, but, anyway, the superintendent, he felt that -- I mean he almost told you how to -- where to go to church at. But we didn't all listen at him. We went where we wanted to go when we's out of the mill because they wouldn't fire us for it. But as far as the union ting affecting the church, I can't say that it ever affected a church any.
STONEY: What about the employer?
DUNCAN: Well, the employers? I don't know. I don't reckon it ever affected themeither. I wouldn't say that it ever affected them any other than just they was on one side and you was on the other.
STONEY: They contributed though?
DUNCAN: Oh, yeah, they contributed by doing what they was told to do, just likeanybody else, you know.
STONEY: Ok.
HELFAND: Ok.
STONEY: Judy
HELFAND: Umm. Did you know that the strike -- did everyone in the village know00:16:00that the strike was national and was happening all over the country?
DUNCAN: Yeah, whenever they had -- whenever the general strike come, the oneyou're talking about, everybody know the strike was in general, that it was everywhere. But each plant waited till the squad come through and shut 'em down before they closed each plant. That squad went through and closed each plant down. And then they'd leave it after they closed it down, you know, but they'd leave pickets on the line and close it down. But everybody knowed in general it was a general strike called -- the whole textile industry, you know, was called on strike.
STONEY: Did you ever see any -- did you ever go to the movies?
DUNCAN: Yeah, I went to the movies a lot. Yeah, I went. I used to be a realmovie fan back whenever I was a child, because we didn't have nothing else. Of course, I remember back whenever there was nothing but black, white, no talking or anything else. You had to read what she said, you know, but, anyhow, I enjoyed going to the movie. I went to the movies ever chance I got and ever --
STONEY: Did you ever see any movies of the strike?00:17:00
DUNCAN: No, not other than some -- the strike personally other than what we sawon slides like y'all showed us where the troops come and carried people in. About the only thing I ever seen of the strike in the union -- about the union.
STONEY: There was no newsreel in the show?
DUNCAN: They didn't have -- you know, we didn't have televisions and things andwe didn't -- you didn't see newsreels much in them days. They just -- in other words, you got it by hearing the radio or word of mouth. You didn't get anything by newsreel because there was no television or nothing to give 'em on, you know, so.
STONEY: I think we should go to the documents.
HELFAND: Okay.
[break in video]
STONEY: Okay you want to read it out loud.
DUNCAN: Oh, I want to read it out loud? I better get my glasses.
[break in video]
STONEY: So I get in.
CREW: Speed.
STONEY: Okay, Arthur, when -- when the strike was over, do you think the uniondid anything for you? 00:18:00
DUNCAN: I really don't believe they did. I really don't believe they didanything for us. I think it was just a wasted -- I think the union actually just wiped us off after the strike was over because they couldn't organize and they said they'd go somewheres where they could get more sympathy and more organization.
STONEY: Well now, I'm going to show you some documents that we found in theNational Archives. Here's one of them that's dated October the 2nd, 1934, filed by, ah, S.A. Hoolahan, Director of the Textile Strikers Headquarters, 91 Trinity Avenue in Atlanta. And it says, "I wish to make a complaint of union discrimination and violation of Section 7(a) of the National Industrial Recovery Act against the Newnan Cotton Mills, Number 2, Newnan, Georgia." And it says 00:19:00down here, "The following are names of some of the workers that have been refused employment and are victims of union discrimination." And, Arthur, down here is your name among several others that are listed here. You see that? And you'll find you name listed. Just turn it over and you'll see. You see your name listed?
DUNCAN: Yeah.
STONEY: Maybe you want to get your glasses so you can see it.
DUNCAN: Yeah. In this -- in this particular place I see they have got my namelisted as a card -- in the card room of the complaint about what -- the discrimination about -- the union did for the workers -- it didn't do for the 00:20:00workers after the strike was over. In this complaint, I still -- we got this complaint in there. Like I said, it never was any -- it never was anything done on it. And, ah, this is the one I was speaking of earlier about my daddy being in that trial. And they had him -- you know, he was one of 'em that was put up in the trial and they fired him because he didn't wear a mustache and they fired Mr. Arthur (inaudible) because he wore a mustache. And they made it stick. Judge Freeman had enough of power and enough of authority that he could make them kind of things stick.
STONEY: So even though the union did protest --
DUNCAN: Protest, yeah.
STONEY: -- it didn't do any good.
DUNCAN: It didn't do any good. In other words, the power of Judge Freemanoverruled anything that the union tried to do.
STONEY: Now here is another document I have from the Newnan Cotton Mills sent in00:21:00to the government, dated November the 13th, 1934, and it says, "On Friday, August the 31st, 1934, the following statement was circulated among all our employees." And it says, "To our employees..." You might want to read that. Do you remember getting such a document?
DUNCAN: In this particular time, November the 13th, 1934, this document that we-- I have in my presence here now, I don't remember seeing that document. I don't remember us having anything about it. I'm sure that probably some of the head officials of the union did, but as far as me personally, I didn't see this document or didn't read it.
STONEY: Did you get any warning from the employers before that strike that youshouldn't strike?
DUNCAN: Well, we did. On July the 4th before the strike was -- was -- come off,they gave a barbecue and they -- in other words, they didn't come right out and 00:22:00say, "You cannot join the union," the officials didn't that was speaking, but they give us warning that they would not be buckled under to the union organization. So we did have a warning from July the 4th of 1934 before the strike. They -- they did give the employees a warning that they was not going to recognize it.
STONEY: Here's something else that you might like to see speaking aboutevictions. You want to read that?
DUNCAN: Now this -- ah, this document here was written by Gus Crawford. I knowhim very well and this -- well, I reckon he sent this document in to 'em, but it says, "The mill desired to have a possession of the premises now occupied by you at 9 Field Street, and you are hereby notified to vacate one on or before Saturday, March the 23rd." Now this was Gus Crawford. I remember him and I 00:23:00remember him a-getting this document. I remember him getting this particular document, but me, personally, they didn't give me a document. They did tell me they would like for me to vacate the house, but I never was contrary to 'em and they, ah -- they never did -- never did press me too hard. They give me time to get a place to get out. So they was fair with me on that particular issue.
STONEY: Why do you think they did that to Crawford and not to you?
DUNCAN: Well, I think it's because he was front man up -- he taken -- Crawfordtaken so much front leadership and interest in it and worked so hard against, you know, people, the company and everything, till I think that they more or less used Gus Crawford as an example more than they used him as a -- as a personal man, used him as an example. And this one they got, (inaudible) in East Newnan. I don't re -- I knowed some Spraddlin's in East Newnan at that time, but 00:24:00I don't remember whether it was R.O. or not. Says, "The mill desires to have the possession of the premises occupied by you on 17 Freeman Street." And I know where that was at. But they notified and give him the same document, "to vacate by March the 23rd, 1935." But now I did vacate my house in -- in about April-March -- about the middle of April, 1935. I give 'em my house about the middle of April, 1935. Now this is J.M. Agner. I knowed them. Said, "The mill desires to have this premises at 23 Hill Street and you are hereby notified" -- all these got the same document to vacate by the 23rd of March. And I didn't get one of these, but I do know several people that did get 'em and I knowed these people 'at's in these documents, was personal acquainted with 'em. And that's where they -- they got it out that the union was so much against -- discriminating so much against the people that taken -- that these, that they 00:25:00got this particular document, was the ones was front leaders in the -- you know, in other words, they was leader of the bunch, you know, and that's the reason why they give them this specific document. The others, they just asked 'em to vacate at the earliest possible time.
STONEY: Okay. That's very good, excellent
HELFAND: Okay. Now could you describe to me again when the national strike wascalled, what happened in East Newnan?
DUNCAN: What happened in East Newnan? In East Newnan, what happened, when thenational strike was called in East Newnan was they -- the flying squad come through and closed the mill down, but they didn't stay when they closed the mill down. So they just went on and everybody around East Newnan went home except a few that joined the flying squad -- flying squad and went on to the other mill to shut 'em down. Everybody else just went on back home, you know, and let -- 00:26:00routine -- let it run as it wanted to. So, in other words, it went back to sort of a normal situation. They didn't-- didn't do anything other than that, just -- other than just go -- didn't try to do any violence or didn't do anything to the mill property or anything like 'at.
HELFAND: Did they leave pickets in East Newnan?
DUNCAN: Yeah, they left pickets at the gate. Yeah, you had pickets on at eachgate in the -- of ever one of the mills. In other words, they had about three gates, I believe it was, they had pickets at each gate. So 4-5-6 people walked up and forwards. And they had what they called "picket sticks", you know, they toted on their shoulders and that's -- that's just -- in other words, just walking backwards and forwards, you know, and telling -- if anybody tried to go in the gate or anything, come up to go in the gate, had a key, they'd just bunch up in front of the gate and wouldn't let 'em through.
HELFAND: How long did that last?
DUNCAN: Well, that didn't last -- I don't think that lasted but just a veryshort time, maybe a couple of weeks, something like that. I'm not sure about 00:27:00that. Now I just wouldn't probably say how long it lasted, but it wasn't too long because they got a injunction. The mill come and got an injunction, you know, and they went right on back to operating. And they give each employee at that particular mill, if you come in by a certain date, you still had your jobs, the ones, you know, that wasn't a leader in it. But if they didn't get in there by that date, then they didn't have a job. But they's -- they's some of 'em that they wouldn't even let come in for the -- even, you know, to give them a date on it, like the ones they give them documents to.
HELFAND: Now what was happening to you during this period of time? Where wereyou and what were you doing?
DUNCAN: Well, I had a -- my oldest daughter was only about a year or about twoyears old then, and she was very sick. And I was at home most of the time with her, carrying her to the doctor and one thing and another. So that's one of the reasons why I wasn't -- didn't know too much about what'as going on, because I 00:28:00was combined at home with a sick child.
HELFAND: How did they know well talkabout this -- you were in the union and your brother was in the union?
DUNCAN: Yeah.
HELFAND: Could you talk about how your joining the union, what that did to yourfamily life at home and, ah, how that affected your family?
DUNCAN: Well, it affected 'em in a certain way of causing unrest more than any-- joining the union, unrest more than anything else because, ah, you didn't know what was going to happen and you and your family both was wondering whether you done the right thing or whether you should have participated in it or whether you should have taken the bigger hand or just what you should have done. So more or less just causing unrest in the family among, you know, immediate family members. And it -- and I don't know -- not in my particular family, it didn't cause anything like strife or violence, but it did cause -- we did have some opposition and unrest more than anything else.

I got into a Random T1 last week and I noticed that to go through 3 bosses was well over an hour. Probably closer to 1.5. I had no idea the dungeons always took so long. They said we had 3 more bosses to go and I had to back out (which i hated doing) due to family obligations.
So my question is.. are all dungeons 3 or 4 hours to run? Are their any that are smaller? Yes I know the rifts are about perfect for time (and I do them a lot) but the loot gets old and needs to be refreshed.
