Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand rapidly. Concentrating on Castleton State sports medicine, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the physical therapy department for course registration deadlines, and rehabilitation program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Castleton State.
Physical therapist assistants (PTA) and physical therapist aides work under the supervision of physical therapists, helping patients who are recovering from injuries regain movement and manage chronic pain. Further, they develop exercise programs that will help patients improve cardiovascular function, regain flexibility, and build muscle mass. All states require physical therapist assistants to have an associates degree from an accredited physical therapist assistant program. These programs typically last 2 years, and include courses in algebra, English, anatomy, physiology, and psychology. PTAs gain hands-on experience during supervised clinical work rotations, and may earn certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and other first-aid skills.
Licensure typically requires graduation from an accredited physical therapist assistant program and passing the National Physical Therapy Exam, administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Physical therapist aides, on the other hand, are not required to be licensed but earn less salary. Some states require that applicants pass additional state-administered exams, undergo a criminal background check, and be at least 18 years old. Employment of physical therapist assistants and aides is projected to grow 40 percent from 2017 to 2025, much faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for physical therapist assistants and aides was $46,980 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the physical therapy department, you may consider Daemen College critical care program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Power, Passion and Inspiration
Commit to Yourself . . . Spiritual
An Attitude Check for Your Body
Spend some time with these physical and spiritual reasons for
respecting and protecting your body.
The first step in developing physical health is to develop a healthy
attitude toward your body. Proverbs 23:7 says, "For as he thinks in
his heart, so is he." (NKJV) If you think healthy thoughts, you're
going to move toward being a healthy person. But the truth is, most
of us fall into unhealthy patterns of thinking about our body. What
about you? What is your attitude toward your body?
Do you often look in the mirror and think, "Send it back! It's a
mistake! God, you goofed!"? Or do you often make negative comments
or jokes about your body? If so, you're probably rejecting your
Or you might fall into the opposite extreme of perfecting your body,
constantly striving to be a perfect "10." Like the stereotypical
body builders and models, you idolize your body.
If you're like many Americans, though, you simply neglect your body,
ignoring your health. As a result, you probably find yourself
dragging through life tired most of the time.
None of these options - rejecting, perfecting, or neglecting our
bodies - leads to health. Instead, we should respect and protect our
bodies. This begins with being motivated to change, for both
physical and spiritual reasons.
The physical reasons for respecting and protecting our bodies mostly
are common sense, yet most of us often ignore them.
First, you'll feel better. If you take care of your body, you'll
have more energy and fewer pains. You'll be more alert and less
You'll look better. A lot of us men get furniture problems: Our
chest drops into our drawers. But by taking care of your body,
you'll be more attractive, leading to stronger self-confidence.
You'll also live longer. Countless studies show that people who take
good care of their bodies have longer lives.
If these physical reasons aren't enough to motivate you, the
spiritual reasons are hard to ignore.
God made your body. A passage from Psalm 139 shows a wonderful
attitude of respect toward the Creator of our bodies: "You knit me
together in my mother's womb. . I am fearfully and wonderfully
made." (NIV) Because God made your body, you ought to take care of
Jesus paid for your body. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, he
paid for you - for your soul and for your body. So, in a sense, your
body is on loan; therefore, physical fitness is a stewardship issue.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, ". You are not your own; you were bought
at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." (NIV)
The Holy Spirit lives in your body. In 1 Corinthians 3:16, the Bible
tells us, "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and
that God's Spirit lives in you?" (NIV) If God made my body and Jesus
died for my body and the Holy Spirit lives in my body, then I better
do the best I can to make it a worthy temple, a place where God -
not my body - is worshiped.
If you've had an unhealthy attitude toward your body, spend some
time with these physical and spiritual reasons for respecting and
protecting your body. Before long, you'll likely see your attitudes
changing and you'll begin your own journey toward a fit, energetic,
God-honoring life.
- by Rick Warren
Let's Get Physical!
These six principles from God's Word will help you get your body in
good shape. Living here in America, sometimes it's hard to know
whether or not you're in good shape physically. With super-sized
meals on the one hand and super-skinny Hollywood on the other, no
wonder we're confused! So how do you know if you're in shape? I ran
across these four statements; they're funny, but they actually serve
as a good test of health:
You know you're out of shape when you feel like "the morning after"
and you didn't go anywhere the night before.
You know your body's in trouble when your knees buckle and your belt
You know you're in trouble when you see your friends running and you
hope they twist an ankle.
You know you're in trouble when you breathe harder walking up a set
of stairs than you do when you hold your sweetheart's hand.
Do any of these statements sound a little too familiar to you? If
so, it's probably time for you to get physical - to start paying
attention to your physical health. When you feel bad physically, it
affects everything else. Shakespeare said it's hard to be a
philosopher with a toothache. I say it's hard to be spiritually
alert when you're physically dull, tired, or out of shape.
A lot of people think of the Bible as just a spiritual book, but it
actually addresses our emotional health and physical health too. In
Proverbs 4:20-22 Solomon says, ". Pay attention to . my words . for
they are . health to a man's whole body." (NIV) These six principles
from God's Word will help you get your body in good shape.
1. Maintain your ideal weight.
When Yankee Stadium was rebuilt, the new building had 9,000 fewer
seats than the original. They had to add three inches to every chair
because Americans' posteriors have grown so large. I realize there
are many medical reasons for weight problems, but many of us just
eat too much. You can't eat everything you want to eat and still
maintain your ideal weight. You can find your ideal weight in any
number of different books and online calculators. Use one of those
calculators and talk to your doctor about how much you should weigh.
Then heed the words of 1 Thessalonians 4:4: "Each of you should
learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable."
2. Balance your diet.
I used to be on a see-food diet. If I saw it, I ate it. I've known
other people on balanced diets - with a hamburger in each hand! But
we need real balance. In 1 Corinthians 6:12-13, Paul says: ".
'Everything is permissible for me' - but I will not be mastered by
anything. 'Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food' - but
God will destroy them both. ." (NIV) Eating is not an end in itself.
We eat to live, but we shouldn't live to eat.
The Bible has plenty of nutritional advice too. Leviticus 3:17 warns
people not to eat animal fat. Even though humans didn't know about
cholesterol, God did - and he knew eating fatty foods would increase
it. Proverbs 25:27 warns of eating too much sugar. The words are
thousands of years old, but they sound like pages from today's
health books.
3. Commit to a regular exercise program.
I've discovered that, when it comes to exercise, most of us are
convinced but not committed. 1 Timothy 4:8 says, "Physical exercise
has some value." (NLT) When the Bible was written, people were very
active - walking everywhere and earning their living through
physical labor. If Paul wrote that today, he'd likely change it to
say that exercise has great value. The fact is, your body was
designed for activity. Even a daily walk will make a difference.
Don't make the mistake of overdoing it at first. Commit to a regular
exercise program that you can maintain long-term.
4. Get enough sleep and rest
Psalm 127:2 says, "In vain you rise early and stay up late." (NIV)
At the end of that same verse, The Living Bible says, "God wants his
loved ones to get their proper rest." Rest is so important that God
even put it in the Ten Commandments; he said every seventh day you
rest. Jesus, in Mark 6:30-32, insisted that his disciples take a
vacation. He said, "Let's get away from the crowds for a while and
rest." (NLT)
Get the rest you need. Don't rise early and stay up late. I think
one of the real enemies of health is late-night television. It
leaves you worn out the next day. So make sure you're budgeting your
time wisely to get enough rest and sleep.
5. Reduce or avoid drinking alcohol.
A cover article of Newsweek a few years ago declared that America is
sobering up as health-conscious consumers decide alcohol is
unhealthy or downright dangerous. At the same time, though, the U.S.
Department of Health ranked alcoholism as the third-greatest health
problem in America, next to heart disease and cancer. American
culture today reflects the words of Ephesians 5:18: "Do not get
drunk with wine, which will only ruin you; instead, be filled with
the Spirit." (TEV)
6. Live in harmony with God.
Our emotions have a tremendous effect on our physical health, just
like our physical health has a tremendous effect on our emotions.
Proverbs 14:30 says, "A heart at peace gives life to the body."
(NIV) What is peace of mind? It comes from two things: a clear
conscience and a purpose for living. When you have those two things,
your health is going to improve.
When God saves you, he wants to make you whole - spiritually, but
also physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Once you've
invited Jesus Christ into your life, ask God's Spirit to help you
have self-control. Then determine to take care of your whole self.
As the Bible says in Romans 12:1, ". Make a decisive dedication of
your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God."
(Amplified Bible)
- by Rick Warren
Personal Health: How much attention should we pay to our bodies?
Where does eating right and exercising fit into our spiritual lives?
When it comes to health, Americans are extreme. On one hand,
physical fitness is all the rage. On the other hand, a growing
number of children face increasing health problems because of
obesity. It seems that we either want to drop pounds and flatten our
bellies with easy fat-burning secrets that will help us firm up
fast, or we're standing in line at the nearest burger joint waiting
to be "super-sized."
Physical fitness and spiritual fitness are intended by God to
complement one another. We know that regular exercise and a balanced
diet are important to good health, improved energy, and mental
sharpness that all help us serve the Lord more honorably. But how
should we approach healthy living? Where does eating right and
exercising fit into our spiritual lives? Here are four principles:
1. Exercise your integrity
When it comes to fitness, we often compare ourselves to the super
models that grace the covers of popular magazines, but the Bible
should be our standard. Fitness should not be a selfish, ego-driven
endeavor. Rather, we should approach health and wellness with godly
motives. Why do our motives matter? Does it really matter whether we
work out for egocentric reasons? Isn't a healthy body the ultimate
goal? Yes and no! God wants more than a healthy body. He wants a
spiritually healthy heart. God examines every heart and he sees
through every motive (1 Chronicles 28:9). He hates it when we have
selfish motives such as the desire to brag, show off our bodies,
compete with others, or seek compliments. These kinds of motives set
us up to lose more than just a few extra pounds. They set us up to
lose our solid footing on God's narrow road that leads to life
(Mathew 7:17).
Check your motives. Be willing to examine your heart. Ask yourself:
Why am I exercising? If you have impure motives, offer them to God
in confession.
2. Pray healthy prayers
One of the most common mistakes that we make as Christians is not
praying enough. We often save our prayers for the big-ticket items
(i.e., discovering our life purpose or finding the right mate!) But
God wants us to pray on all occasions with all kinds of requests
(Ephesians 4:16). That includes praying for our physical fitness.
Pray to God about your fitness goals, your food choices, your
work-out, and even about those extra pounds you're trying to lose.
Pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Your prayers will move
God's heart and invite him to unleash his power in your life.
3. Develop an appetite for God
Where does God fit into your meal selection? Is God's best choice
even on the menu? Seek to honor God with what you eat and drink (1
Corinthians 10:31). "Our bodies and natural appetites were created
by God and are not sinful in themselves,"[1] but we need to work at
controlling our desire for food. Otherwise, our desire for food will
control us.
Have you gained a few extra pounds because you couldn't resist that
ice cream in the freezer? Or are you one of those people who can eat
whatever he/she wants without gaining a pound? In either case, poor
eating habits can lead to health-related problems, like high
cholesterol. The Bible is clear: Everything may be permissible, but
not everything is beneficial (1 Corinthians 6:12).
You don't have to buy fitness magazines to learn how to control your
appetite. Just open the Bible. It will tell you how God wants you to
move toward your diet. Here are a few Scriptures to get you started:
Ecclesiastes 10:17: Eat your meals at proper times.
Proverbs 23:2: Don't eat too much.
Proverbs 25:16: Eat just enough.
Ecclesiastes 3:13: Enjoy your meals.
4. Be fit for all seasons
Healthy living requires diligence, and diligence takes work. "It
takes action. It takes staying with something until it is finished.
And it takes diligence, work, action, and staying with something for
millions of minutes, thousands of hours, hundreds of days, scores of
weeks, months ... ."[2] You get the idea. Health and wellness are
lifestyles. They are not seasonal fads.
Laziness often gets in the way of diligence. But the Bible says that
hard work brings rewards (Proverbs 14:23). Set yourself up to win.
Talk to your doctor before beginning any exercise and diet program.
Start a program that fits who you are. Is walking more your style?
Exercise videos? Joining a gym? Getting a personal trainer? Once you
start a program, stick to it. Consistency is more important than
intensity. Exercising for 15 minutes a day on a regular basis will
produce better results than hit and miss one-hour workouts.
A Body Fit for God
Glorify God with your healthy lifestyle. After all, workouts in the
gym are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making
you fit both today and forever (1 Timothy 4:8 MSG). When you seek to
glorify God with a healthy lifestyle, you will develop into an even
more authentic Christian, and your faith in Christ will be apparent
in all areas of your life.

Seven Pillars of Good Health:
What you don't know about these seven "pillars" of good health may
be derailing God's plans for your life.
Like most physicians, I see people all the time who suffer from
headaches, back pain, arthritis, skin problems, digestion problems,
and other ailments. Often, they have gone to another doctor, who
might have given them medications that merely turned off the
symptoms, instead of addressing the underlying problem.
If you had a red warning light blinking on your car's dashboard,
informing you to check your engine, would you simply remove the fuse
to turn off the warning light? No! You would take your car in for
service, knowing that if you don't you will eventually ruin your
car's engine.
Most people already know that the No. 1 killer of Americans is heart
disease, and the No. 2 killer is cancer. Most people know that
nearly two-thirds of cancer deaths in the United States can be
linked to tobacco use, diet, obesity, and lack of exercise. Most
people know that most diseases are caused by unhealthy lifestyles,
poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and inadequate sleep.
Most people, however, do not realize that the medications they are
taking amount to taking the fuse out of their body's warning light,
instead of addressing their body's seven fundamental needs for
health and well-being.
In my practice, I talk to patients about seven pillars of good
health: water, sleep and rest, living food, exercise,
detoxification, supplements, and freedom from stress. What you don't
know about these seven pillars of good health may be derailing God's
plans for your life.
For example, most people's bodies are starved for clean, natural
water. Many people never drink any water. Some don't like the taste
of it, or they were never taught the importance of drinking it.
Maybe their parents gave them juice, soft drinks, milk - anything
but water. As a result, many people spend their day going from one
caffeinated or sugar-based drink to another. They jump-start their
mornings with coffee. By midmorning they have a soda for another
boost, then drink sweetened caffeinated iced tea for lunch. Late
afternoon it's another coffee-based or "10 percent juice" drink.
Little do they know that all that caffeine and sugar are actually
stealing water from their bodies, doing them more harm than good.
Even many people who drink water fail to realize how many harmful
substances that water contains. Tap water, even if it comes from
wells 200 feet deep, often is contaminated with chemicals used in
industry, agriculture, and consumer products. People who turn to
bottled water often don't realize that those manufacturers are less
strictly regulated and their products less carefully tested than
municipal water companies. About one-fourth of bottled water
actually is tap water!
Water is the most basic pillar of health, and many people are paying
a terrible price for ignoring it. A body that is slightly dehydrated
goes into a sort of rationing mode, diverting needed water to vital
organs. Inadequate hydration can be a significant factor in back and
joint pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, digestion problems, and
asthma, among other things.
Paying attention to the other six pillars of health is just as
important for your health and well-being:
Sleep and rest - During the precious hours you are shut down for
sleep, your body recharges your immune system and restores your
organs. Many Americans live on the brink of mental and physical
collapse simply for lack of sleep.
Living food - Much of our diet consists of "dead food" that leave us
tired and vulnerable to degenerative diseases like diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. "Living food," on the other hand, will
protect your body from cancer and other diseases and will sharpen
your mind, energize you, and enliven you.
Exercise - Over 75 percent of the people who start exercise programs
quit; health clubs bank on that. Your body is two-thirds water -
what happens to water that sits stagnant? When water moves, life
Detoxification - Most of my patients who suffer from chronic disease
are actually affected by toxins, heavy metals, chemicals, and
microbes. Fortunately, there are things you can start doing today -
as simple as drinking healthy, taking in fiber, and sweating - to
rid your body of toxins and help your waste management systems keep
them out.
Supplements - Many doctors refuse to recommend multivitamins and
nutritional supplements even though a study published in the Journal
of the American Medical Association in 2002 recommended that all
adults take a multivitamin supplement to help prevent chronic
diseases. Few people, if any, get the nutrients they need from food
alone, even if they eat a completely healthy diet.
Stress - Good stress is healthy. It's our bodies natural reaction to
a real or perceived threat. But when stress goes on too long, it can
leave you feeling depressed and angry, lower your sex drive, and
predispose you to all kinds of illness. A prescription as simple as
"10 good belly laughs a day" will go a long way toward protecting
you from those dangers.
The good news is that you do not have to be a statistic. Wouldn't it
be great to meet your great-grandchildren - and keep up with them?
Surely you would like someone to tell you that you look 20 years
younger than your age. Can you imagine what it would feel like not
to experience the stiff joints and headaches that have disrupted
your life for several years?
Paying attention to these seven pillars will help you restore your
health and reclaim your life. It could set you on the path to being
healthy, happy, and whole - just as God intended."
- by Don Colbert
Physical Shape and Health: A Spiritual Issue:
Spiritual principles that will help you get your body in shape and
keep it that way.
You can't get past a checkout stand at the grocery store these days
without being deluged with magazine titles proclaiming the ultimate
keys to losing weight, getting fit, and eating to health. Yet with
all that information available, most of us aren't all that happy
with where our bodies are. Is there a key or a balance to the whole
area of personal health and fitness?
I think that there is, and it is this: Your physical health is also
a spiritual matter, and if we pay attention to both aspects, we will
succeed. That is, God made us both spiritual and physical beings:
"Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,
who lives in you and was given to you by God?" (I Corinthians 6:19
NLT) He created our insides and our outsides. People who pay
attention to one and not both are out of balance. The flabby
individual who is involved with God and church needs help. But so
does the ripped six-packer who doesn't have time to surrender to
spiritual values.
Now, most of us know the basics of the physical aspect: nutrition,
exercise, sleep. The research is out there for the taking, and it is
good. But here are a couple of spiritual principles that will help
you get your body in shape and keep it that way. Add these to your
1. Let go of willpower and ask for help. We all have a tendency to
try to do it on our own. How many times have you said, "From this
day on, I'll work out four days a week," or "I'll cut down on the
chips?" And then, a few weeks later, nothing happens. That's because
nothing should happen. Willpower will always fail you: ". for the
wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not." (Romans
7:18) We can't do it all on our own. But what will never fail is the
strength and support of God and people on your team. Get the support
team together! Let people know your plan. Get their advice. Meet
with dieting and workout buddies. Have them call you to check in at
your most vulnerable times, like afternoons and evenings when many
people snack more than they want to.
2. Get out of the "one-solution" mentality and deal with the
complexities. Generally speaking, physical well-being and fitness
aren't about just one thing, such as eating habits, workouts,
supplements, etc. They are about lots of things, as we are designed
in a great, complex manner: "Thank you for making me so wonderfully
complex." (Psalm 139:14) So deal with it all: nutrition, exercise,
sleep, stress, spiritual devotions, relationships, personal growth,
medical issues, and emotional baggage from the past. In other words,
look at your physical shape as part of your own stewardship to God
for giving him a good person with a good body who can love, work,
and carry out his mission on Earth for him.
The physical and the spiritual interact. Keep them both in mind, and
watch the results.
God bless.

Potentially dangerous activities near power lines
The danger lies in not noticing the lines and getting too close. But it's so easy to prevent accidents!
BEFORE climbing or using long or tall objects (ladder, pole, etc.)
Follow these three safety rules:
- Look for power lines nearby.
- Keep everyone and everything at least 3 m away from a medium-voltage line.
- Be sure that nothing will touch the low-voltage lines (including the lines connected to the service entrance of your house). Even though they are usually insulated, the sheathing may be cracked and therefore inadequate.
Potentially dangerous situations
- Pruning, cutting down or climbing a tree
- Building a treehouse
- Using a ladder
- Delivering materials with a crane or cherry-picker
- Working on scaffolding or a cherry-picker
- Working on a roof
- Cleaning out eavestroughs
- Skimming a pool
- Putting up holiday decorations
- Piling up snow
- Playing on a huge snow pile
- Playing with water blasters
- Flying a kite or drone
- Approaching a downed power line
Pruning or cutting down a tree
Climbing a tree
Pruning or cutting down a tree can be dangerous. There is a real risk of falling or being hurt by a falling branch. If the tree is near a power line, it's even more dangerous.
Building a treehouse
All children dream of a treehouse. But before building one, make sure there are no power lines nearby. And when your children are playing in trees, remind them not to go near power lines or place anything near them.
Using a ladder
Ladders are very long objects used to work at heights. Working on a ladder is already dangerous, and even more so near power lines.
Delivering materials with a crane or cherry-picker
Whether you're a professional or a friend lending a hand, here's the very first thing you should do when making a delivery at height.
Working on scaffolding or a cherry-picker
Scaffolding and cherry-pickers are for working at heights and handling all sorts of materials and tools. An eavestrough, for instance, may easily get too close to the lines if it's windy or you make a wrong move.
Working on a roof
Working on the roof means working at height! Add to that the risk slipping if you go up to clear ice or snow. If you're using long materials or long-handled tools, those are additional risks.
Cleaning out eavestroughs
To clean out eavestroughs, you need to use long poles or go up a ladder. So there's a risk of getting too close to power lines.
Skimming a pool
If your pool meets the clearance standards for the various types of lines, the risk of accident while using a long-handled skimmer is much lower. But it's still important, before you use one, to know the safety rules.
If you buy a long-handled skimmer, opt for a fibreglass rather than aluminum one. That's because aluminum conducts electricity very well, but fibreglass provides better insulation.
Putting up holiday decorations or a Christmas tree
A Christmas tree outside a house always looks beautiful. But remember that the taller it is, the greater the risk of touching a power line.
Be sure the extension cords you need for outdoor holiday lights are designed for outdoor use and are in good condition.
Piling up snow
Power lines are often found on the edges of schoolyards. It is important to pile up cleared snow a good distance away from the lines. As soon as kids see a big pile of snow, they want to slide down it, and they could get too close to the lines.
Playing on a huge snow pile
In winter, there are often huge snow piles. They're perfect for kids to slide down. But sometimes the snow pile is near or even directly underneath power lines, and the kids could get too close to the lines.
Playing with water blasters
These new superpowered water guns now have huge tanks so they can shoot a continuous stream over a distance of several metres. When the spray hits a medium-voltage line, it's just as if the hands holding the water gun touched it directly. It's extremely dangerous.
Flying a kite or drone
A kite could easily get tangled up in power lines and the string you're holding can easily conduct electricity. There's a risk of serious electric shock.
Don't steer a drone anywhere near power lines. It's DANGEROUS. If your drone happens to land behind the fence of a Hydro-Québec substation, don't try to go get it yourself. You'd be risking your life: Call Hydro-Québec's security department instead.
Approaching a downed power line
There's a high risk that the line is live, and the nearby ground electrified, as well. NEVER use anything to try to move a line. Even a tree branch can conduct electrical current.
Call Hydro-Québec or your municipal emergency response service immediately.

Since 1949, hundreds of thousands of teenagers have passed through the gates of Fort Caswell during the summer months for camp. They come from all walks of life and quite often encounter God for the first time or feel the spark of a renewed relationship with Him, which is the heart of the mission and ministry of our week-long camps.
But before the first student sets foot on campus, Caswell is already a training ground in both community and ministry for the college-aged staffers who come to work and live on-site during the roughly ten-week summer season.
Fort Caswell has a variety of summer missions opportunities in several work areas, each of which are vital to the ministry. Spending a summer at Caswell is literally life on the beach, but to most staffers, it's so much more. As summer staff, young people gain valuable work experience, immerse themselves in Christian community, and discover first-hand the joys and challenges of living in close quarters with more than 70 other young adults. The combination of the setting's natural beauty, the demands of hard work, unique experiential worship, and new friendships all add up to a summer experience unlike any other.

In Surprise Move, Ministry Issues Blacklist : A Crackdown on Filmmakers
By Fionnuala Halligan
Published: May 30, 1994
BEIJING— In the past, China's central government has dithered over how to deal with ideologically wayward moviemakers. Oscar-nominated directors Zhang Yimou ("Judou," "Raise The Red Lantern") and Chen Kaige ("Farewell My Concubine") have had their movies banned at home because they refused to cut "offensive" scenes. But over time, the sanctions have been lifted.
This is no longer the case. Last month, the Ministry of Film, Television and Culture cracked down with a vengeance. A directive was sent out to all of China's 16 official studios, film processing labs and even equipment rental companies, banning any contact with six named directors and a filmmaking collective.
While Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen have narrowly escaped the blacklist, the leading lights of the so- called "Sixth Generation" of Chinese filmmakers have effectively been wiped out in one fell swoop.
Tian Zhuangzhuang ("Horse Thief", "The Blue Kite"), Zhuang Yan ("Beijing Bastards"), Zhuang's wife Ning Dai (who has only made one film, a documentary on the making of "Beijing Bastards"), Wang Xiaoshui ("The Days"), He Jianjun, Wu Wenguang and the experimental group "Structure, Wave, Youth and Film," learned of their ban in the newspapers.
"It's outrageous," said a shocked Zhang Yuan. "It's like telling me I can't eat or sleep. Film is my life, what can I do if I can't make movies?"
In a move some saw as a protest, Zhang Yimou declined to attend the Cannes film festival this month, where the star of his film "Huozhe" (To Live), Ge You, won the best actor award. And Yin Li, who had hoped to show his "Story of Xinghua" in Cannes, was denied an exit visa.
The ministry didn't just take aim at directors. It has also thrown the country's entire film industry into turmoil by demanding that every movie - even Western co-productions - be processed and censored in China before being allowed out. This comes on top of existing rules, which stipulate that all scripts must be approved before shooting starts. Furthermore, all moviemaking joint ventures are now officially banned, and international co-productions have been limited to 25 a year.
These are draconian measures designed to reestablish control over a sprawling film industry. In an official explanation printed in the "Beijing Youth News," the director of the ministry's film department, Yan Xiaoming, pointed to his delegation's embarrassment at the Rotterdam Film Festival in February as the reason for the measures, but in fact the roots go deeper.
When Zhang Yimou's "Judou," a period romance set in a rural dyeing factory, was nominated for an Oscar in 1989, China attempted to have the film withdrawn. Cultural mandarins believed it depicted Chinese as a race of "bandits and villains." The film stayed in competition, but did not win, and the rules were subsequently bent to have Chinese films entered as Hong Kong productions. However, the trouble had begun.
It came to a head last October at the Tokyo Film Festival when the Chinese delegation withdrew in anger after organizers went ahead with screenings of "The Blue Kite" and "Beijing Bastards." The fracas was repeated in Rotterdam and again at the Hong Kong Film Festival in April. Both films had not been submitted for approval by the Chinese censors and were made outside the legal parameters for filmmaking on the mainland, which stipulate the use of one of the 16 official film studios.
Moreover, the authorities hated Zhang Yuan's depiction of urban youth as drunken, hedonistic and foul-mouthed hooligans in "Beijing Bastards." Mr. Zhang hotly disputed allegations of political bias in the banned directors' films. "There is nothing in our work that anyone should be afraid of. Our films are works of art, they are in no way anti-government," he said. "It makes me very uncomfortable to have our films labeled as in some way political. I want to make it clear that I am not a politician. I am an artist with a social responsibility."
Hong Kong-based Shu Kei, who produced "Beijing Bastards" and "The Days," said: "The authorities have embarked on a self-contradictory policy. They want to be economically open, but politically controlled. They think the two can be separated. They will learn the lessons themselves, the hard way."
Symptomatic of this schizophrenia is the recently announced SMILE deal between United Cinemas International and South Malaysia Industries to invest $60 million in developing China's theatrical distribution. The group will be opening multiplexes in 10 cities over 18 months and is working with Shanghai Paradise to distribute foreign and domestic movies in the theaters.
"This is ridiculous," said Shu Kei. "What do the authorities think they're going to be showing in these cinemas? "The Sound of Music?"
As the ax falls on the "Sixth Generation" of filmmakers, all eyes turn to the "Fifth Generation" - Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and their colleagues, who came to film late in life due to the Cultural Revolution, which dominates their work. Mr. Zhang's "To Live" premiered at Cannes to official rumblings. Controversial in that it deals with the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, although never on a political level, "To Live" was made by Taiwan's ERA films (with the budget funneled through a Hong Kong subsidiary).
"We're making films by the rules," said Barbara Robinson, vice president of ERA. "Zhang Yimou is not on the list yet." She refused to comment on the fact that the censorship board had demanded cuts to the film.
In the meantime, the outlawed directors are left to ponder their shattered careers in China. Zhang Yuan and his colleagues are in an impossible situation. He can't make films in China and has no interest in going overseas.
"China is my life, there are still a lot things I want to make films about here. I don't have the experience to make films abroad," he said. While he acknowledges he could possibly make underground movies, Mr. Zhang said: "I don't want to start a war. As I stated before, I'm not a politician, and once films start becoming political then I lose all interest."

Late one Saturday evening.
Dear Hikari,
School isn't too bad here. I've made some friends with others in our year. They are weird like us and fun.
Harper - She's really cool and wants to be a superhero when she grows up. I already think she is. She's got this thing about death that's weird, but I don't know how to celebrate our ancestral stuff with her. I gum up the words every time I think to try to bring it up. She danced with me during Halloween and we went through this maze and weren't scared at all! She was Wonder Woman and I was Cyborg. It was awesome.
English is pretty complex. I'm only just starting to get their jokes. I feel like I'm a robot when I speak. It's so tiresome translating everything that I feel like I'm lagging IRL. Anyway.
Serenity - She's such a badass. She's got this wolf-looking dog named Wolfe. Sometimes I get to pet him, but not very often because he's her service dog. Once in class, she had this seizure and it was pretty scary. She's always proving herself though I don't think she needs to. She's competent and we challenge each other academically. I hope to bring her over for a visit. She can't fly without assistance in case she has a seizure, but I think she could fly at home because they would be super sensitive to any changes to her, you know?
Eric - He's really cool, too! I'm not biased. He's a metamorphmagus! I think he likes Serenity because he's always making fun of her. They're usually paired up during class, but I guess the same goes for me since we're all pretty ahead of the class in our studies. Sometimes he'll change his hair and be silly with me. He's teaching me some idioms so I don't sound like an idiot. (That's funny in American because of the word sounding so similar i-d-i-o-m v. i-d-i-o-t (baka)!)
Rose - She's Korean! I like talking with her because it feels most like being home. We're in the same house so I see her all of the time. Though she doesn't like it when I tell her she's impulsive, I like how spontaneous she is. She reminds me of my little sister. She's got an older sister at school, too, but she doesn't seem to like her all that much. Maybe I'm wrong? They barely hang out. Not that my older sister hangs out with me often.
Lucy - She's so excited all of the time! She and Rose like to bounce their hyper off of each other. She's really nice though and we're housemates, too. I like it when she sits with me during meals. I never have to say a word, she's what we call a chatterbox. I like how she tries to diffuse a situation, but sometimes accidentally escalates it. She's really great. When you visit, if you visit, she's def one of the first ones I'm going to introduce you to. I think you two would get along like red beans and mochi.
Tally - She's such an airhead and gets super aggressive much like Lina. I think she's really cool. I even signed her cast! She broke her arm early on in the school year from a drunk driver - that's someone who was driving a normie car while under the influence of alcohol. I want to break that guy's arm because Tally is nice and she's struggled a lot with classes because of it. Oh! She's a complete normie so she doesn't know anything about the magic world. You should've seen the look on her face that first day I tied her shoelaces up for her with a basic kid's spell. You'd think I was some great magician. xD
Noah - He's got a stutter, but he's really good with animals and is so cool. I think he likes Harper. I don't have any evidence or anything, I just get the feeling. I want to hang out with him more, but I don't really know how to say so without looking silly. We have enough mutual acquaintances that I'm not too worried about it.
Kai - Another first grader that I don't know much about. I'll see if I can partner with her in class and learn a bit more about her. She's mostly Harper's friend from the looks of it.
Jack - He's so silly, but he has balls. He's always looking for a fight it feels like, with his chest puffed up or something. He smokes, too. Reminds me of your uncle.
Erin/Eoin - They're twins! It's pretty neat. Eoin is deaf and she signs with him. I def think they're Italian, but apparently her accent is Irish. Pretty cool. I don't really talk to them much.
There are a lot of people with self-importance at this school. Bullying is everything they say it is. Serenity and a few others try to stand up for me, but I wish they wouldn't. I don't need them to, but they think I'm weak or something. (What a laugh, right?) I don't think discipline is a big deal to Americans - maybe that's why obesity is such a big problem here? Anyway, I just thought you'd have a laugh to know I've been bloodied up a few times. I've tried to tell them it wouldn't be fair if I did fight them, but I think they think it's an English joke.
I'm sorry it took me so long to write you, but you know I'm terribad about keeping up with my letters. Thank you for all of your letters. I'll send you some funny American food and money as soon as I coordinate something with my dad. Nobody has taken your place here, don't worry!!! In fact
Akira had fallen asleep on his writing, pages spread out around him. His Thunderbird-themed covers were messed up from his squirming and he was still in his day clothes on top of his previously made bed. Often Akira fell asleep like this. So exhausted was he from being unable to sleep the last week, he finally conked out hard.

Daniel just wanted to sleep. Too bad that his roommates had different plans for the evening. Some other Thunderbirds from the other third-year dorms had gathered in his dorm room. The boys had invaded his privacy, taking a seat on the side of her bed. He wanted to kick and curse at them to go off his precious bed, but he didn't really have the energy for it. Throughout the late night talk, he barely listened. Danny was mostly thinking about the astronomy book, he was hiding under his pillow. It had taken him a while to get that exact book. He straight up refused to talk to students helpers in the library, and he especially didn't want help from the librarian. Luckily, he had found the book earlier that day, super excited to read it. Unfortunately, his friends had other plans.
Most of the people gathered in the dorm room were followers. The three main guys of the group were Chad, Josh, and Brad – which were all of his roommates. That trio didn't seem to have any values or morals in life. Daniel was neither a leader or a follower, but most individuals of the group listened to him quite well. He didn't think everything that the three guys did or said was ethically right. Instead of saying something, he just listened and try to erase all of their words from his memory.
The reason why he hung out with them, even though he didn't listen to them? They were his roommates from day one, they were open to accepting them in a group. When he entered Ilvermorny all on his own, they made him feel as if he was back home. Even then, the bitter teenager hung out with bullies at school. Naturally, he developed to be one of them. It was such an easy way to release his anger and feelings. Daniel had slowly become addicted to it.
Right now, his peers were talking about some of the first year recruits, specifically about a Japanese boy. Apparently, he had some nerd costume and spoke as if he was raised by robots. The wizards, especially the three mentioned specifically, were discussing their arguments to despise the younger wizard. The constant nagging gave Daniel a massive headache, so he tried to stop them by giving a snarky comment. "If you dislike him that much, just dump him in the lake instead of constantly nagging about it." Most of the boys were quiet by the blunt remark, which was weird cause Daniel was known for it. However, Chad – the self-declared leader – chuckled away. He stood up from his bed, patting Danny on the shoulder. The taller boy complimented him for giving them such a good idea.
The next hour, the three leaders started to prepare for the plan while Daniel was patiently watching over it. Apparently, he was in charge of keeping control over one of the legs and doing all the talking, because it was 'his' idea. The other limbs would be controlled by the other three passive guys in the group. Chad would be the 'leader', Josh would put the pillowcase over the poor boy's head and Brad would tie him up.
It was way past midnight when the bullies successfully entered the first-years boy dorms of their house. It was easy to spot Akira's bedside. Like the nerd he was, he laid under a collection full of paper with text written on it. They divided themselves two on each side of the bed. Chad was counting down from 3 to 1, and each boy grabbed one of the small Thunderbirds' limbs. Josh immediately put a pillowcase over Akira's head to make sure that he couldn't recognize them and make his voice less audible. Then Josh proceeded to nod at Daniel.
The Korean boy was a bit hesitant, not knowing what to say, however, a pat on his shoulder made him a bit more courageous. "Just stay still and nothing will happen," he lied, looking at Chad for his acknowledgment.

He was dreaming about his friends.
They were on another adventure, but they were riding on the backs of animals. Him and Serenity were sharing a hippogriff. Akira had never flown on one before, but it was exhilarating. Harper and Lucy shared theirs with Rose who was hooting and making a lot of noise. Not that he could hear it over the wind, but from how animated she was, he presumed so.
How had they gotten here? He must've properly bowed and been granted flight rights.
Down below the ground moved fast, almost dizzyingly so. He picked out where they were supposed to go. Leaning back into Serenity, he pointed, grinning, "We're going to see my grandpa!" Miraculously, it seemed like Serenity understood his Japanese and the inflection of his voice - the ache of homesickness that was equal parts joy and sorrow for not having seen him in so long.
When they eventually dismounted their hippogriff, everything went dark.
Sleepy confusion made him register what was happening too late. When he breathed in, the cloth sucked into his nose and mouth. Embarrassingly, he cried out in distress, especially when he realized that his limbs had been immobilized.
A single voice spoke up and Akira stilled long enough to listen. But fear gripped him and he knew that he must not obey this voice. Bad things would happen. Desperately, he wished his older sister was there, or Harper, or Noah. Without them, Akira reacted defensively.
"I refuse!" He shouted, jerking one of his arms down and in towards himself try to wrest it from the bully's control. These didn't sound like the bullies that normally tormented him, but Akira had an ear to the ground and knew that there were worse people at the school. People that broke other's bones on purpose and tormented older students. Why had he been picked out for this?
Pushing out with his arm, he'd fight them using what he knew from Aikido, a steady stream of muffled Japanese from the pillow case. The fear dissipated into cold certainty, Akira wasn't going to be a victim to whatever this was. Kicking out with his feet, he dislodged one. He could break out of whatever holds they had, keep them busy until he could think of how to remove the pillow case. It was suffocatingly hot as he started panting against it, cloth rapidly blowing in and out.

Goody Two Shoes Goes to the USA
Two weeks have passed by and there are a thousand things to tell. One recurring question that I received stays with me, and the inevitable confusion that always followed. It happened so many times I began to get exasperated
Here is just one version of many:
AP = American Person GTS = me H = husband
AP: "Good day Madam. How are you/is your day? How are you doing? How can I help you?"
GTS: (Weak smile whilst waiting for them to finish and thinking suspiciously, 'What is it with these people? They are so nice and friendly!') "I would like a cup of coffee please."
AP: (Fleeting shock face) "Where are you from?"
GTS: "Where was I born or where did I come from?"
AP: "Erm ......."
H: "People are waiting behind us."
GTS: "I was born in England but came to America from Jerusalem, where live."
AP: (Quick glance at H) "Shalom! My friends, cousins, aunts, dog-walker emigrated there."
GTS : "That's interesting, but I am not Jewish and my husband is Palestinian."
AP : "Oh I know some Muslims too."
GTS : "Yes, me too. My husband is Christian background, by the way."
H : "Stop it and hurry up. The queue is almost at the door."
AP : (Completely confused) "How do you want your coffee?"
Then she proceeds with a long list of at least 20 different types, several kinds of sweetener, sizes and endless possibilities of things to go with the coffee.
GTS : (My turn to be confused. Blank look with a dose of panic.)
H: (Eye rolling)
GTS : "Hot with water and some milk .......do you have instant?"
AP : "What? Sorry madam, I don't understand."
H : "Two white drips with splendour."
AP : (Look of relief) "Coming right up."
GTS : (Furious with H as I think he has called me a drip.)
Sometimes, when I answered that I came from Jerusalem, people replied:
"Where is that?"
"How relaxing."
"It is on my bucket list" (By far the most popular response)
"Oh how wonderful! Sand and palm trees?"
"Is everybody friends yet?"
"Jerusalem Pennsylvania? Or Jerusalem Ontario?"
It got quite exhausting, explaining for 10 minutes about myself and H before I could buy a cup of coffee or a sandwich. Why did I feel I had to? What difference did it make? Being asked, I quickly realised, bore no relation to the asker's interest.
What a relief to be away, for a short while, from all the stresses of life here.
I could be one of those do-gooders that was helping an illegal boat person for all anybody cared (that's what people think in my home country). That might be a little less complicated than the real story.
Advice: Always know your coffee order before you get to the counter and just nod and smile at any general questions.

I am in a show in Pine Lake, Georgia. It is called Lakefest. It will be my first outdoor show in quite some time. I am looking forward to the feedback about my new work. I am combining drawings with mixed media collage. Some are rattles.
I want to use objects that I have held onto for years. It is time to let go of things and share them with others.

A New Beginning in Senoia, Georgia
It has been a long time in posting and I am excited to be in a show this spring. It will be titled
"Feathers and Fur", in Senoia, Georgia. I am thrilled to be doing drawings and mixed media pieces. Here is a taste of things to come. Crows are still a favorite, but there will be other furry and feathered creatures appearing soon.

More recent drawings of birds
I love crows. I love how smart they are. I love their noise. They are very intelligent and family oriented. This particular image is called "Two Friends". It is done with graphite. I love the simplicity of black and white. So much texture to work with in the strokes and mark making.
Older drawing exploring more portraiture - drawing of Erin
This drawing of Erin was my exploration into pointillism. Forgive the spelling if incorrect. Also forgive the bad photography. The original photo was of her holding a caterpillar. I think she called her little friend "Beautiful". Lets hear it for a girl unafraid of bugs. I have to say that doing a drawing only with dots takes a bit of patience and concentration. I kept wanting to do dashes instead of dots.
Learning pastel again - a portrait of Kindle
I am working in pastel and feeling that I need to continue to explore different surfaces to work on. I did a portrait of my friends' dog. It is from a photograph, and I am wondering how well it might do to paint her as well. Something about reveling in the texture of paint to show the texture of her coat.
Graphite drawings
I started drawing again. It is something I wish I hadn't gotten so far away from. Nevertheless, I am back to a form of expression with pencil to paper. These were once in the same drawing and I ended up splitting them apart, making 3 separate images. Not sure that was a good idea, but I like their singularity.
I have done so much work and I haven't posted much of it! So it is time to share and put some words with images.
Quite a while back, I made a collage for my friend Debra, intending it to be a portrait of her. I feel that she is a water person. There are so many colors/patterns that can be reflected in water and in that same vein, she is a colorful person. There is a flow to her that I hoped to show, but more than that, a sense of play and joy in life surrounding her. It is great fun to take objects and delineate something about someone's character.

Sensual Fluidity - upcoming show
I am continuing my exploration of the idea of drawing with collage, using pencil to canvas, and including my paper leaves and found objects. There is a wonderful feeling drawing on a surface and feeling the tactile nature of the texture I am applying to the surface. It is the most direct form of sculpture I can think of. That touch of my fingers to the surface I am working with is sensual. I consider my leaves sculpture; cutting, folding and painting paper.
The idea of the Green Man is one I am intrigued with. The imagery pops up in many cultures, but the idea seems most persistent with male or animal figures. I have not found many female images prevalent in the green man imagery. I am content for the moment to borrow from classic painters. The portrayal of facial features is a primary inspiration. I have borrowed from Durer, Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, and Lautrec. I also have looked at Avedon's photographs as a window into portraying the human face and body. Sometimes what is unattractive in a classical sense of beauty is the most haunting and mystifying.
Masks come into play for me with the idea of becoming something else; transforming into something that we are not, with the idea of covering the face. Playful disguise is the way I see it. I see a link of the symbol of the green man and the mask; sending a message of abundance of the harvest in an incarnation of man with leaves and vines extending out of the mouth, nose and sometimes eyes. Horrific in a sense, mystical and joyful depending on the depiction. I love the idea of creating masks out of my leaf sculptures and returning to a sense of play; something that we do not allow ourselves enough of.
The interplay of fabric and fibers are a new direction for me. I like the idea of the fluidity of silk merged with the heavier texture of felted wool. The interplay of the two can create another workable medium for me. It presents new avenues for me to use, such as drawing with the sewing machine. I am using the first pieces I have created as sketches for further exploration of the medium.
Mother Nature
The madonna image is one from a Durer painting. I decided to use old master paintings as references for portraits with collage. I am exploring the idea of drawing with objects as well as with rendering in pencil.
This image is a precursor to the final one. I am exploring ideas of the Green Man. There were usually only male or animal imagery in the green man tradition; I am inserting women in the role.

Tanya's Table
After a long wait by my friend, I completed her table commission. It is a portrait of her in a fashion. I put things in it that are important to her, from associations with her friends, to places she likes to visit. There is a vision of her in this table from the flora and fauna down to the choices of colors. I figure that the frog is her in amphibian form.
I meant for the table to have different viewing sides, with no correct up and down. Much like I imagine her vision of the world to be; a multifaceted person who examines things like only she can do. I see her as a mechanical engineer embodied in a true child of nature.

Another nest
I did this piece with Prismacolor pencil on wood. The one exhibited at the Quinlan show is done with the same materials. I was inspired by the furniture pieces; working on wood feels good to the touch. I have been toying with the idea of carving into wood and drawing into the carving. Haven't tried it yet, but it is floating around with other future ideas.
Birds' nests
I recently was invited to participate in a show at the Quinlan Arts Center in Gainesville, Ga. It is called the Birds Nest Invitational, inspired by paintings done by Roseta Santiago, who was also the juror. The Quinlan teamed up with the Elachee Nature Science Center, to have part of the proceeds from sales go to the center.

More views of Tree of Life
Tree of Life
I recently had the pleasure of doing some new pieces that reflect the Tree of Life imagery. I did some research before and found that this symbol is very relevant to many cultures. I love the idea of an image that transcends language and speaks to a vast population of spiritual beliefs.
These first pieces were done for a cantorial concert at Temple Beth Tikvah in Roswell, Georgia. Their cantor, Nancy Kassel, is celebrating her Bat Mitzvah year there. In honor of her service to the congregation and the community, I thought I would do Trees of Life for Nancy and the other guest cantors. It is a way for me to personally say thank you and communicate what I think they do for others; I am learning how a cantor has a very unique and spiritual relationship to a congregation.

Another table covering
This cover was actually done for a larger table. It was put here to catch candle wax, which can be cleaned off the surface of the cover. The palette on these cloths can be any color; these were done to match the decor.
There are other artists featured here. Roberta Elliot, a blacksmith, made the beautiful candleabra pair. Her company name is The Velvet Hammer. The large platter is by Ruth Hablutzel, and the black and white piece is by Chris Baumann. If you go to Raiford Gallery you can find their work. I also have work exhibited there. I highly recommend a visit to the gallery. There are many beautiful pieces there.
Table runners
I have toyed with this technique in the past and found a need for it again. In a search for a table covering that was resistant to spills and could be cleaned easily, I went back to my technique to create some table coverings. The photos illustrate some that I have done recently. They are done on heavy artist canvas. I use acrylic paint and paint layers to create a wrinkled effect on the canvas, then seal it with an acrylic medium. The finish tends to feel like leather and it is easy to keep clean.
The First Table
Here is another table that I have been working on. This one is closer to completion. I have worked with Prismacolor on this one too. There is something about the images wrapping around the edges of the table that I like as well. I started this in preparation for another table drawing I will be starting soon.
New work to show
I've been working on many things lately. This is a table that I started drawing on. It is not completed, but I wanted to see it up here on my post. It is something that I am really excited about. The medium is Prismacolor pencil. I will be filling in more detail and putting a final finish on it soon. I have found it is good to get away from a piece like this for a while and come back fresh, so I don't overwork it.

Companion piece
This is the other large piece I did. This one and the one in the previous post were in the Lake Toxaway Artists Association show in October of this year. I met many amazing artists there. The next step is to get up to North Carolina more to be inspired.
Great show
I had a great show at the with my new friends at the Euclid Avenue Artists Collective. It is at the old Moreland School in Little Five Points. I felt like I was back in grammar school stepping through the doors. The collection of artists there is so stimulating. I am now the proud owner of each of the artists' work. My friend, Judie, would call me an "artist ho". It simply means that I can't live without the work of creative people around me. I will be posting their websites so you can check them out. I am hoping that next year, I will be in the show again. It is easy to get into my studio and disappear into my own little world, so to get out and be with other artists is good food for the soul!
Thought I would post a photo of some new work. I did not have this piece in the show. It was too large to haul back from North Carolina. I am doing large and small pieces. This particular one has a companion. I'll show that later; need to get in the studio and do some more work.

Upcoming show, Dec 4,5,6
Hello and thanks for being patient about coming to my site and not seeing new work yet.
I have decided that I need to be a bit more communicative and post some personal musings on what I am creating and participating in. I consider it a New Year's resolution before the New Year.
I am participating in a show this weekend at the Little Five Points Community Center. I hope to see support for the great artists there. I am thrilled to meet some new people to expand my horizons. Please come see me. I have posted a sample of what I will have there.
Friday, August 21, 2009
More work soon
I have been busy creating work and not showing it on this site! I will be posting images of new work soon. Please check back in to see new things. Any comments are a great help to me.

Mariner Dances
Mariner Dances is the story of an abduction – not in the romantic manner of the eighteenth century: no heiress is concerned, and Mariner is not a calculating adventurer. He is a schoolmaster, employed at a lycee in Paris. An egoist, unscrupulous always with the very best of motives. When he abducts Mary, a girl of nineteen, he has no money and no prospects of a job, and he omits to inform her that he has a wife in Paris.
He imposes himself and Mary upon the family of his friend, Fred Paul, who relates the story. As a result of an accident for which Fred blames himself, his sister Gladys has been a cripple from childhood. He feels that he has responsibilities towards her, and at the time of Mariner's invasion is looking for a suitable husband for her.
Mariner's intrusions into this situation and its effect upon Fred and his family, upon his shrewd and patient mother, upon his shrewd and impatient father, and upon Gladys herself supply the theme of the book.
