text: Student Profiles Bryce Spalding '10 Bryce Spalding '10 Majors: Government and Legal Studies, German; Minor: Teaching Hometown: Wayne, Maine Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? At the beginning of my college search, I didn't think there was any way I would stay in Maine for school. However, in my search for a small liberal arts college with a strong government department, Bowdoin quickly made its way onto my shortlist. What stood out during my visit was how friendly, helpful, and down to earth the students were. The Bowdoin students I spoke to made it clear that they loved the College and were excited to be at such a wonderful place. Additionally, I subscribed to the view of many here that a complete education cannot be received exclusively in the classroom: extracurriculars, sports, summer internships, and studying abroad are all important, too. The fact that the food at Bowdoin was (and is) ranked first in the nation [by The Princeton Review] also didn't hurt. Why did you choose your majors? From the very beginning, I planned to major in government with a concentration in American government. I have always been interested in politics and America's political system, and that interest only grew during my time at the College. After studying German in high school, I didn't want to continue with it, but due to a desire to study abroad in Germany (and some encouragement from professors), I ended up testing the waters during my first year by taking an intermediate German course. Now I'm glad to have continued with it; I had an amazing semester in Freiburg, Germany, and the German professors are outstanding. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? In the spring of my first year, I took another first-year seminar titled Memoirs and Memories of American History with Professor Connie Chiang. The course addressed the use of human memory in creating an accurate account of history. Incredibly, I was one of only two students in the class, which allowed Professor Chiang to conduct several classes in the Café. What truly made this course memorable, though, was the culminating family-history project. My paper centered on my grandmother's stay in a tuberculosis sanatorium (to prevent her from getting tuberculosis) and how her experience compared with the thousands of others who stayed in similar institutions. I learned quite a bit about my family's history and acquired new insights into my grandmother's past. A second memorable class was American Political Thought with Professor Jean Yarbrough of the government department. I had never read the Federalist Papers, or anything by the Anti-Federalists, Jefferson, or Lincoln, and this course examined all of these authors within the context of how their philosophies shaped American politics and government. Having edited a book with Jefferson's writings, Professor Yarbrough was extraordinarily knowledgeable of the subject and her passion translated into engaging class discussions. A third set of courses I enjoyed were my education classes. While the education professors are excellent and I found each course extremely interesting, what made these courses especially worthwhile was the time I spent in schools observing, interacting with, and teaching students. The course Educating All Students placed me into a fourth-grade class for a semester where I helped students with class work and played with them during recess. In my course Teaching and Curriculum, I observed an AP American Government course, where I taught several classes on the executive branch. Additionally, our class visited an island school off the Maine coast to see firsthand how an expeditionary-style curriculum is implemented. All of these experiences were integrated into my Bowdoin coursework, making them all the more meaningful. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? I visited one of Professor Henry Laurence's classes during a spring Open House for admitted students, and was impressed by his ability to balance lecturing with discussion in a class of 35 students. Since then, I've taken two classes with him: one was my first-year seminar, East Asian Politics, and the other was Introduction to Comparative Politics. His stories, frequent movie quotes, and many jokes made his classes enjoyable. At the same time, his emphasis on clear, concise writing and critical thinking set the foundation for my academic studies at Bowdoin. Another incredible professor is Professor Chuck Dorn of the education department. As a sophomore, I took his course Contemporary American Education, and it's because of that course that I decided to minor in teaching and work in education after graduating. I later had Chuck again for the course Curriculum last fall. His passion for teaching is obvious, and he is always available and willing to talk with students; I'm quite fortunate to have taken two courses with him. Which staff members have you connected with most? I am constantly amazed by Bowdoin's staff. Every staff member I know clearly cares about students and enjoys working with us on a daily basis. This is true whether they work for Residential Life, Dining Service, or Security. While serving as a proctor sophomore year, I became closest with the staff in the ResLife office. I also have enjoyed working for Bridget Spaeth and Carmen Greenlee in the Language Media Center. Outside of my work experiences, I can always count on a hello from Anne whenever I get an express meal at Moulton Union. The proctors and RA's affiliated with Osher Hall at a ResLife dinner in Main Lounge on campus. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? As I mentioned, I worked as a proctor my sophomore year. I really enjoyed living on the fourth floor of Osher Hall with 16 first-year students, though my proctees could be a handful at times. I also joined the men's rugby team that year, which was a lot of fun thanks to the great group of guys on the team; unfortunately, I hurt my back in the spring and wasn't able to continue playing. I also worked at the Language Media Center for three years. My main extracurricular activity was Bowdoin Student Government (BSG). I was a class representative to BSG my first three years. During that time I worked with other class officers to put on class events and served on the facilities subcommittee and academic affairs subcommittee. Perhaps one of the most rewarding things I did in those years was to run a raffle that raised enough money to get multiple families presents for Christmas. This past year I served as vice president for academic affairs, which meant being the main student voice on academic issues. It is my hope that because of our work, next year there will be a Student Symposium where students can present on subjects such as their senior theses, study abroad experiences, or Alternative Spring Break trips. Finally, I joined Bear Buddies last fall, a group that meets on Saturdays for various activities with children who have physical and mental disabilities. It has been a really fun group to be a part of and it's too bad that I didn't get involved sooner. Bryce in Santorini, Greece, traveling while studying abroad in Freiburg, Germany. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I studied abroad my junior spring in Freiburg, Germany. Freiburg is a city of about 215,000, which, while not large, was far bigger than either Wayne (1,100) or Brunswick (21,000). The city is in Southwest Germany, close to the border of France and Switzerland. The location was ideal: I was able to look out my room window and see the Black Forest, allowing me to hike on the many well-groomed trails that transverse the city. The IES Freiburg program brought me on day trips to France for wine tasting, to the EU Parliament building, and on a sledding trip in the Swiss Alps. I greatly improved my German while in Freiburg and traveled throughout Europe. While another trip to Europe doesn't seem likely anytime soon, I am already thinking about where I will go, and Freiburg is definitely at the top of my list. What have you done during your summers? After my first year at Bowdoin, I worked as a waiter at Cloud Nine Restaurant at the Senator Inn in Augusta. However, the highlight of that summer was a two-week trip to Germany that was funded, in large part, by an award received through the German department. I spent the first week in Berlin and the second week at the Munich Summer Fellows Program. The program is sponsored by Junior Year in Munich, which encourages students to study abroad in Germany and introduces them to Munich and its surroundings. While the experience didn't persuade me to study in Munich, any doubts in my mind about studying abroad in Germany vanished after the trip. My second summer I worked as a Margaret Chase Smith intern in the Maine Department of Transportation Safety Office (MDOT). Over the course of the summer I produced sections of the MDOT Policies and Procedures Safety Manual, and created safety reports and an interoffice database. It was very interesting to see how a government department runs from within, and I learned a lot from my time there, including the fact that in order for a job to be rewarding, I need to be challenged and have high expectations. Last summer I returned home from Germany at the end of July and thus was only home for part of August. I spent that time preparing for the upcoming school year as well as seeing friends and family that I hadn't seen since leaving for Germany. What is your favorite Bowdoin memory? It is nearly impossible to spend four years at Bowdoin and have just one favorite memory; nevertheless, here are two of them. The first was during my junior fall when I was a MacMillan House member. It was the Sunday morning of reading period, and all the house members made crepes with tons of different fillings before crowding around the Christmas tree in our living room and exchanging Secret Santa gifts. Despite the fact that many of us had only met in late August, it felt remarkably like Christmas morning with family. Bryce with his mother and friends, visiting his house in Wayne. There were also two memorable trips at the beginning of senior year when I brought friends from Bowdoin to my home in Wayne, which is about an hour north of Brunswick. During the first visit I showed some friends my elementary school and where I used to work at the recreation center and library. We went swimming at a beach near my house, had dinner with my parents, and went to a delicious ice cream place called Tubby's. The second time was in late September, and I was with nine of my housemates. We weren't expecting to swim, but many of us braved the cool waters. This was the first time I had gone swimming after the leaves had changed color and doing it with many of my closest friends made it even more enjoyable. What are your plans for after graduation? I hope to find a job in education either as a teacher, tutor, or mentor. So I'm looking at both jobs in independent schools as a teacher and at more service-oriented positions in either charter schools or schools in high-need areas. I plan on attending graduate school at some point, though I'm uncertain if I will want to get a master's in education or public policy, or a law degree. My long-term goal, however, is to be involved in educational policy development. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Take advantage of the many opportunities that Bowdoin offers. Every week there are lectures, talks, performances, plays, and film screenings. Make the effort to experience these events each week, because it's unlikely that you will have the opportunity to attend so many fabulous and free events after graduating. What quirky or fun thing do you wish you had known before you came to Bowdoin? Bowdoin Student Government runs a course review website that is only visible to Bowdoin students. The website allows you to see what other students think about various courses and professors, as well as share your own thoughts after you have completed a course. While students are objective and honest in the majority of the views, it is important to understand the reasons why an individual may or may not like a particular course.

It's time, bay scallop harvesters! Get your snorkels, masks and dive flags ready. The recreational bay scallop harvest season began July 1.
The season is regularly open through Sept. 10, but at its June 28 meeting in Palm Beach Gardens, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) discussed extending the season by two weeks.
Bay scallops can be recreationally harvested in Gulf of Mexico state waters (shore to nine nautical miles) from the Pasco-Hernando County line to the west bank of the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County.
In the last Conservation Corner titled "A Sustainable Model", there was laid out a concept to compost the yard waste, dredge spoils and food waste. Upon further research, that concept is just not going to work for Cedar Key for two main reasons.
First, there is the problem of scale. Our island's dozen or so restaurants do not produce enough food waste to make the composting of that waste financially feasible. Also, the DEP regulations are intended for much larger operations then what the island's needs are.
Nobody seems to know how much water spilled over the rim of a phosphate mine's cooling pond located near the Upper Suwannee River last week, but officials say there are no environmental concerns at this point.
The overflow began June 27 at a cooling pond owned by the PCS Phosphate mine in Hamilton County when the pond was filled to capacity by rains from Tropical Storm Debby and overflowed onto a nearby road, and into a ditch and Swift Creek, according to Dee Ann Miller, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Cedar Key Middle School members returned from the State FFA Convention with a cache of trophies and awards.
The State FFA Convention was held in Orlando.
David Beach, Chairman of the Cedar Key Water and Sewer Board (CKWSB), addressed the commissioners regarding saltwater intrusion into Cedar Key's water supply. The intrusion caused by the drought has resulted in chloride and salinity levels exceeding acceptable levels in the well field.
Plans for a temporary solution to Cedar Key's saltwater intrusion are underway.
The Cedar Key Water and Sewer District voted unanimously June 26 to move forward with purchasing a reverse osmosis filtration system to help remove excessive salts from the city's water system.
The motion included borrowing about $350,000 from Drummond Bank to pay for the cost of the system, which will only be a temporary fix.
From the Cedar Key Arts Center:
We are delighted to report that we have 37 youngsters ages 6-15 signed up for the Cedar Key Arts Center Summer Program this year!
In order to give this many children a quality art experience, we are in desperate need of volunteers to help with the younger children. No expertise is required, just a willingness to help one morning 9-11:30 a.m., any week day
July 16-26.
Mark your calendars - the Old Florida Celebration of the Arts committee has announced the 49th annual event to be held on April 13-14, 2013.

Drawdown to repair dam will effect Cross Timbers State Park visitors
TORONTO — Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) staff at Cross Timbers State Park have alerted the public that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) plans to begin lowering Toronto Reservoir on Friday, Aug. 6. The drawdown will continue through Aug. 13, when the lake will be 2 feet below conservation pool. The drawdown will allow work to repair damage to the dam, and the project could take a year or more, according to park ranger Josh DeHoux.
"Boaters will have to use extreme caution during this time," DeHoux said. "This is a relatively shallow lake, and any lowering brings submerged structure closer to the surface. Trees, old farm silos, a railroad trestle, and other hazards could be dangerously close to the surface for boaters."
Boating access will be limited. Park visitors may have difficulty using boat ramps and docks as early as the weekend of Aug. 7-8, and by the time the drawdown is complete, only the Toronto Point East boat ramp will be useable. Other lake access will be limited, as well. One boat dock will be completely on the ground, and others may not be usable. The swimming beach will be 80 percent unusable.
"We have so much debris in the lake — rock and flooded timber — that putting in temporary boat ramps and docks is not feasible," DeHoux added.
For detailed information on the lake level, visitors to Cross Timbers State Park and Toronto Reservoir should go to the KDWP website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us, then click "Fishing/Where to Fish in Kansas/Fishing Locations - Public Waters/Region 5/Toronto Reservoir." From there, click "Current Lake Level" to be taken to the COE website that monitors the lake level.
For more information, phone Cross Timbers State Park at 620-583-6783 or the Corps of Engineers office at 620-658-4445.

EFF Sues FBI: Hey Before You Launch New Face Recognition Tool, Can You Respond To Our FOIA On Old Tool?
from the just-saying dept
In the complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, EFF is asking a judge to enforce EFF's FOIA requests, which were sent to the FBI in June and July of last year. The information sought includes agreements and discussions between the FBI and various state agencies regarding the face-recognition program; records addressing the reliability of face-recognition technology; and documentation of the FBI's plan to merge civilian and criminal records in a single repository. EFF is also seeking disclosure of the total number of face-recognition capable records currently in the FBI's database, as well as the proposed number at deployment.Yet again, with our intelligence agencies, it appears that the federal government seems to feel that it can do whatever it wants, and any attempt to answer to the public is to be ignored at all costs.
NGI will have an unprecedented impact on Americans' privacy interests, and yet the FBI has not updated its Privacy Impact Assessment since 2008, well before it built the system and signed agreements with several states for an early roll-out of the program.
"Before the federal government decides to expand its surveillance powers, there needs to be a public debate," Lynch says. "But there can be no public debate until the details of the program are presented to the public."

Sharon Flood, 60 - July 15, 2009
Sharon Kay Flood, 60, of Holdrege, formerly of Gothenburg, died Friday, July 10, 2009, at Phelps Memorial Health Center in Holdrege.
Services were held Tuesday, July 14, at the United Methodist Church at Wilcox with the Rev. Virginia Fleharty officiating. Interment took place at the Freewater Cemetery at Wilcox.
Flood was born the second child of three children to Bernard Cecil Woollen and Mrs. I. Leone (Johnson) Woollen on May 14, 1949, at Holdrege.
She was baptized at the Wilcox Community Church and confirmed while in the eighth grade at the Wilcox Methodist Church.
Flood began elementary school at Wilcox Public School, transferred to the Ragan Public School in 1956, and retuned to Wilcox in 1958 where she graduated with the Class of 1967.

She and her family resided at Elm Creek and Hastings before moving to Holdrege in 1970, then to Gothenburg in 1977. While residing at Gothenburg, she was employed as an aide with the school lunch program as well as various other occupations. Her marriage to White ended in 1992.
On Oct. 8, 1993, she married Stephen Bratt Flood at Zion Lutheran Church of Gothenburg. The couple resided at Gothenburg until moving to the Woollen family farmstead southwest of Wilcox in 2001. She suffered a stroke on Jan. 29 following knee surgery, and moved to Holdrege.
Flood was a member of the United Methodist Church of Wilcox where she also served as Sunday School superintendent and as treasurer of United Methodist Women. She was also a member of the Emmaus Community having completed the "Walk to Emmaus." While residing at Holdrege, she was a member of the Phelps County Extension Club.
She was preceded in death by: her mother, Leone Woollen on Jan. 3, 1973; a step-brother, Randy Johnsen.
Survivors include: her husband, Stephen of rural Wilcox; her father, Bernard (Juanita) Woollen of Wilcox; two daughters—Stephanie White of Lincoln and Amy White of Colorado Springs, CO; two brothers—Ron (Sue) Woollen of Wilcox, and Jerry (Michele) Woollen of Lincoln; a step-son, Michael (LaRae) Flood of Kearney; two step-sisters—Diane (Clark) Norblade of Axtell, and Cheryl (Gary) Gittleson of Carlsbad, CA; step-brother, Larry (Melissa) Johnsen of Alma; three step-granddaughters—Olivia and twins, Josslyn and Leah Flood of Kearney; numerous other relatives.

Lavender This is a free excerpt from the book, God's Banquet Table
LAVENDER There is nothing like the fresh clean fragrance of old English lavender. The Romans added it to their bath water and placed the flowers among their clothes giving them a fresh scent. Lavender has a sweet taste and can be used to make herbal tea. Inhaling its fragrance has been said to calm nerves and lift depression. Lavender tea is used for heart palpitations, headaches and insomnia. Lavender oil can treat wounds, ulcers and sores.
There are endless varieties of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes and seeds. On top of all these wonderful foods, God has supplied herbs and spices, tools to allow us to express creativity, aroma and flavor.
The quiet gentle flavor of chamomile, or the blaring overpowering shouts of cayenne. The sweetness of cinnamon and bitterness of hops. The sharp bite of horseradish and refreshing lift of mint. None of these flavors are by accident. Each one was carefully thought out and purposely created for our blessing and enjoyment.
We would like to take you on a journey through the flavors and uses of spices and herbs. Many have been used for thousands of years for medicines to relieve suffering and contribute to healing.
Herbs are plants with a fragrant bouquet that may consist of leaves, stems, flowers, seeds or roots that are used in flavoring dishes or as medicines. Preferably they are used fresh, but are also effective dried.
Spices are dried, aromatic plants associated with tropical climates that may include seeds, flowers, leaves, roots or bark. They may be used in preserving food, assisting in digestion, providing flavor or as medications.
Herbs are generally milder in flavor and used for delicate seasoning, whereas spices are strong and distinct, adding a piquant taste. The words herb and spice can be used interchangeably according to culture or tradition.
Spice trading has a great history. Joseph was sold to a spice trader from Gilead for 20 pieces of silver. The Queen of Sheba presented precious stones and spices to King Solomon. Spices were often valued more greatly than gold. Nations fought wars over the occupation and control of spice territories. Political power shifted according to their availability.
Growing your own herbs and spices indoors is a wonderful hobby. Not only do indoor plants act as air cleaners, but they also provide a continuous fresh supply of seasonings for culinary art. These plants can be grown in pots, which can be placed in the window sills of the kitchen. Mint, parsley, chives, and dill are some examples of herbs that can be easily grown indoors. When the warmer weather comes, they can be transplanted outdoors providing you with a bountiful harvest that can be dried or stored in the freezer.
When drying herbs in the oven, the temperature should not exceed 90şF, allowing their color and flavor to remain intact. Spread the herbs on trays, keeping the door ajar. Once the herbs have been fully dried, it is best to keep them in an airtight glass container stored in a cupboard. Light will destroy the herb's color and distinct flavor.

Why do people experience incredible
weight loss on a juice fast?
Before that question can be
answered, we have to understand what 'juice fasting' is about.
Juice fasting is about abstaining
from solid food, for a period of time, while supplying your body with the most
nutritious drinks on this planet. By providing essential vitamins and minerals,
the juice can actually jump-start the body's fat-burning mechanisms. One glass
of freshly-made fruit or vegetable juice provides you with the equivalent
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and chlorophyll you would get by eating
several pounds of raw fruits and vegetables.
Most of us have heard how thousands
are losing up to 10 pounds in 2 days on the best-selling Hollywood 48-Hour
Miracle Diet in which you simply juice fast on bottled (dead) juice for 2
days. Well, juice fasting is a healthier version of the Hollywood Diet because
you can fast longer than 2 days while supplying your body with live enzymes and
nutrient-rich fresh fruit and vegetable juices.
Dr. Shelton, a great advocate of
fasting, wrote "The weight lost by overweight patients in the early
days of a fast is astounding. I have seen losses of five and six pounds a day
for the first few days. A woman who fasted in the Health School in January and
February of 1950 lost twenty-five pounds in the first two weeks.

CITES: ensuring that species are not threatened by international trade
How does CITES work?CITES regulates international trade in species by including species on one of three Appendices.
- Appendix I - species cannot be traded internationally for primarily commercial purposes. (Example of species under Appendix I: tiger, Himalayan brown bear, elephant, and Tibetan antelope)
- Appendix II - species can be traded internationally for commercial purposes, but within strict regulations, requiring determinations of sustainability and legality. (Example of species under Appendix II: Hippopotamus, bigleaf mahogany, and the gray wolf)
- Appendix III - a species included at the request of a country which then needs the cooperation of other countries to help prevent illegal exploitation. (Example of species under Appendix III: walrus, Hoffmann's two-toed sloth, and the red-breasted toucan)
The ban was successful in eliminating some of the major ivory markets, leading to reduced poaching and allowing some populations to recover.
WWF continues to provide technical and scientific support to CITES Parties on issues surrounding trade in ivory.
What does WWF do?
- WWF is an active participant in the CITES Conferences of the Parties, providing scientific and technical support on various priority species and issues. For example, WWF has contributed to recent CITES decisions to protect several marine and timber species, such as the humphead wrasse, great white shark, and the Asian commercial timber species, ramin.
- WWF also works to enforce CITES regulations, and to ensure that its mandate is not weakened or over-ruled by institutions such as the World Trade Organization.

Salinas strawberry grower Paul Kohatsu recently shared his experience with Messenger, a product that activates natural plant defense systems, with growers at a field day.
On a 10-acre test plot with Diamonte variety strawberries, he compared the foliar-applied Messenger to a standard fungicide program in adjacent strawberries.
He reported a 15 percent increase in volume of trays, or an increase of 190 more trays than the standard program.
Kohatsu said he was impressed that there were no quality adjustments (discounts for more than 2 percent decay) on fruit grown in the Messenger plot. His fruit under the standard treatment had a 1 percent adjustment.
Messenger, recently registered in California, is produced by Eden Biosciences of Bothell, Wash. The company says it is effective on an array of other crops from cotton to citrus and tomatoes.
During the gathering at Kohatsu's Misha Berry Farm, Robin Ross, Eden field development scientist at Santa Maria, said Messenger operates on the principle that plants produce compounds to protect themselves against disease. These constitute the resistance which plant breeders traditionally have sought to improve.
When a plant is attacked by a pathogen, genes producing these compounds are "turned on" for a defense, but often plants are overwhelmed within the three days it takes for them to mount a defense.
Isolates protein
The solution was to find a way to induce the natural plant defense, and Cornell University scientists isolated a natural protein, harpin, derived from the Erwinia amylovora bacterium that causes fireblight in fruit trees.
When harpin is applied, one effect is activation in the plant of oxygen which kills the invading pathogen immediately and thickens plant cell walls to exclude other pathogens. Full response occurs in three to five days, and the protection may last for several weeks.
Ross said Messenger, while it generates plant resistance, enhances growth giving potential making for reduced use of fungicides and at the same time produces fruit with greater shelf life.
Marie Ocafrain, Eden technical sales representative at Grover Beach, Calif., gave results of an Oxnard trial gauging Messenger against a standard program of Captan and Thiram treatments on strawberries.
In a May picking, the test yielded 411 trays per acre from the standard treatment and 425 trays per acre from the Messenger portion. In the June picking, the yields were 121 trays and 109 trays, respectively.
The label for the wettable dry granule product calls for a use rate of 4.5 ounces per 75 to 100 gallons of water per acre. It is foliar applied at a 14- to 17-day interval.
It should not be used with chlorinated water, and if a surfactant is used, it should be a non-ionic type. The pH in the spray tank should be between 5.0 and 10.0. It should be used within 24 hours after bags are opened and applied within four hours after the spray mixture has been prepared.
"Optimal timing is early in the season," said Ocafrain, "so you have season-long control for botrytis. The first application should be at early flowering, following up with a 13- to 17-day interval."
She stressed that Messenger is not a curative, and three to four sprays must be made for season-long protection and post-harvest quality of the fruit. A vigorously growing plant is essential for the proper uptake of the product, as is close attention to water and nutrient management.

The sunshine returned Thursday morning and the extra Jackson Electric power crews hit the road, looking to help other areas with greater problems.
Like most of north Georgia, the Madison County landscape was blanketed with white icing over the past three days. But the forecasted "Snowpocalypse of 2014" didn't yield the number of emergency calls officials had feared as the winter weather rolled in.
Still, as of Thursday at lunch, the area remained covered with snow and roads remained icy.
"If you can stay off the roads, please do," said Madison County 9-1-1 director David Camp.
Camp said most people had taken the "stay-off-the-road" warnings to heart. As of Thursday morning, the 9-1-1 office had only received a few reports of motorists sliding off roadways. The worst accident occurred on Hwy. 72 near Tiny Town, where a car flipped over and a woman was taken to an Athens hospital after suffering abrasions.
Camp said a person called Thursday morning to report a tree fallen on a neigbhor's house on Hwy. 174. While the tree had fallen, it missed the house.
"We've had the normal number of medical calls over the last 24 hours," said Camp, who reported 13 such calls between Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Camp said a diabetic woman in Elberton didn't have her insulin. The Elbert County ambulance service transported her to the county line, where Madison County's EMS received her and took her home — but not back to Elbert County.
Camp said his office has not received any reports of power outages.
Unlike the massive snowstorm of several years ago, that left thousands without power for days, Madison County citizens avoided such troubles this week.
Jackson EMC announced Thursday morning that it was releasing extra crews that spent the past couple of days on hand to help in case of major outages.
"Based on the National Weather Service forecast that the cooperative's service area is no longer under the threat of freezing rain, and the low number of outages experienced during this week's winter storm, Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) is releasing the contractor crews brought in to assist with power restoration so that they can assist other electric cooperative south and east of Atlanta that have been hard hit by the storm," said JEMC officials.
JEMC leaders said that as of 8 a.m. Thursday, there were approximately 124,000 customers without power as a result of snow and sleet blanketing much of north and central Georgia.
"More than 220 additional crews from unaffected areas in Georgia and from at least seven other states are helping EMCs restore power," officials said.
Madison County schools and county offices were close Thursday. County students were already scheduled to have "winter break" Friday and Monday. That break remains in effect and students won't return to class until Tuesday.
That means local children are getting plenty of time to play in the white stuff.
Camp said his office has gotten some reports of snow play going too far, such as someone doing donuts in the snow in the Ingles parking lot and another call of a truck pulling kids on a sled.
While the sunshine has already started melting some of the snow off trees, the precipitation could refreeze overnight, Camp noted, causing potential traffic problems Friday morning for citizens returning to work after the winter standstill.

text: How To Make Hardware Organizer Labels (ep64) Get Organized, Projects, Shop Projects, Simple Builds 20 Comments Share this:FacebookGoogleTwitterTumblrPinterestReddit I am in the process of making a Harbor Freight hardware organizer to house their 20 Bin Parts Storage Cases (Item#93928) and the large 8 bin organizers (Item#93927). I was having trouble finding a good way of labeling the organizers. I tried riveting material to the handle and have even resorted to using masking tape and duct tape in the past. None of those options looked good to me. My original plan was to rivet melamine to the handles but this alone was too brittle. Then I had thought to iron the melamine to paint sticks and rivet those on. The paint sticks ended up being to thick. Finally, I figured I would try an iron the edge banding direct to the hardware organizer handles. After doing this I knew I had my answer. I tested how well it stuck to the plastic and I was pleasantly surprised on how difficult it was to remove. I rounded the corners of the banding and got to work doing all the Harbor Freight containers I had. I am really liking having everything clearly labeled and looking uniform. This is the cabinet I am currently working on. With 40 containers, labeling everything was a must. I finally decided on white melamine edge banding. Through my testing it actually ironed on to the organizers really well. Using a small washer, I traced with a pencil to create rounded ends. Then you can just use a scissors to cut out the edge banding. Not only does this make it look a bit nicer but it also eliminates sharp points for the edge banding to start peeling. And if you have time to kill and/or you are as particular as I am, go ahead and sand some of the cut edges making it nice and smooth. Using a cabinet scraper, remove the seam where the mold halves met. This will allow the edge banding to sit nice and flat. Above is the before and after of the card scraping. Using an iron set on high, tack the banding in place to get it straight. Then use a paper towel or rag and iron it completely. The towel helps protect the finish surface of the melamine. Take care of any area not fully bonded down. You can see it a a dramatic aesthetic improvement from the masking tape I was using before. Stayed tuned for the complete HF organizer cabinet build!

Hopefully this Yuki statue is the first of a Shoushitsu series. I'd love to see Alt!Haruhi and Asakura get their own ones as well.
Also, wow that BluRay is expensive. Hopefully copies will be out on YJA later for a lesser price.

The total price for the DVDs with the included material is 109,200 yen for the limited editions and 93,200 yen for the regular editions (retail prices). You at least get 60% off the regular editions by getting the Blu-Ray version.
Also added without any big notice were the "Taniguchi Goes!" segments to the set. All 8 segments are included.
Also something interesting from 2ch. In one of the Lucky Racer videos on the Kadokawa Youtube Channel, they announced a quiz on the website. If you got the questions right, you were entered into a raffle to get a prize. A couple of posters won the raffle and got some very wonderful gifts:
Yes, actual displays that were used in theatres all around Japan during the first run of the movie. Nice, but big! The art poster is 144 x 100 cm according to the 2ch poster.

The Blu-ray set is a bargain in terms of Japanese edition boxed sets (yes, it's expensive when compared to licensed works). Preordered one already at Amazon. Wonder how they manage to offer it at 25% off compared to other vendors.
The Yuki statue looks awesome. I haven't dealt with the Kyoani store before. Do they ship abroad or are we talking proxy buyers or ebay if I want to get one? Yuki hasn't had much luck with figures. The only good looking model so far imo has been the Maxfactory 1/8.

For new news, I've had to hold off on announcing this for a couple of weeks to get solid proof, but it's finally up. As you may know, at the end of this month a new "Haruhi Suzumiya Illustrations" art book will be released. That book will cover Spring and Summer. On September 28th, the art book covering the fall and winter seasons will be released. HMV has put up their page and is accepting pre-orders. This will have illustrations from the movie as well. It'll be 150 pages and is 1890 yen.

Sorry again for double-posting, but I have some news regarding the Blu-Ray box set. On the Amazon ranking site I mentioned earlier, the set has been ranked number 1 every hour since 10:00 on 7/7 with one exception of 3 hours earlier today when it was number 2. It's still back at number 1. We're quickly approaching 10 days since it was available and it's still topping the charts. The numbers for this are going to be very interesting. I haven't seen a Japanese version anime Blu-Ray box set top over 10,000 sold so this may be the first one. (If there has been one, let me know and I shall be corrected)
In additional news, Kyoto Animation finally put up their shop page for the set. Normally the discount at Amazon is enough that KyoAni's special favor isn't worth it, but this time they are offering a mini cel that will be revealed later. Their cels are 15,000 yen apiece, which happens to more than cover the normal Amazon discount.
And I'd like to offer my apologies for spreading incorrect information. The "Taniguchi goes" segments that are on the BD set are not the ones included on the 2009 Limited edition DVDs (or the DVD compilation released in September). The listings state "Taniguchi goes! A new Journey of Mysterious Discoveries" which would indicate new segments.

There is probably a good reason why this BD set is cheaper than expected. From what I understand, season 1 was not animated in native HD resolutions. It was animated in standard resolution. Consequently, at least half the episodes in this BD box will actually be an upconvert. Season 2 was animated in native HD. The price is probably reflecting this, rather than any sense of charity from the producers/distributors (Come on, we're talking Japan here).
Depending on how they author the first season, it may not look any better than the DVD being upscaled by Blu-ray player with a really good upscaler. Personally I have a blu-ray player with an outstanding upscale chip and the season 1 DVDs look pretty good. It doesn't look HD of course, but still look good. I'm guessing the DVDs were also authored pretty well which helps in the upconvert.

Just a quick update on sales for the BD Box set. Amazon Japan has a wonderful feature that will let you sort the overall sales by week, month, or even year.
This lets us see that the BD Box has reached Amazon's 25th overall spot for the year in just over 3 weeks of sales. Most of that time it was the top selling DVD/Blu-Ray in the store (dropped to 2nd on the 19th, then 3rd on the 21st, and then 5th on the 22nd to the present). The lower price seems to be aiding a lot of sales from Amazon. Once again it'll be very interesting to see the final sale numbers for this set in three months.
Edit: LISTING UPDATED! On both the official Fansite Listing and the Kadokawa listing (scroll all the way down), they list the following under audio:
Linear PCM STEREO (Japanese・English)
Could this possibly include the dub?
Secondly, the official listing has added the 8 Making of clips from the 2006 DVDs and the Special Hare Hare Yukai TV size ending clip to the bonus disc.
Thirdly, the Kadokawa listing has a release date of 11/26/2010 now. No online retailer nor the fansite has changed the sale date yet.

Er.. uhm ..
I've been wondering this for years.
Where do I buy the awesome light novels? The english translated ones? I've seen an Amazon site but they're not numbered and I get hella confused.
A little bit offtopic but ..which series also has its light novels translated? Like Haruhi!?

I hear that the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is coming out sometime of November of this year (or so I've heard). But what kind of frustrates me, is that we are just got novel 3 (The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya) last July, and yet Japan actually released novel 9 (The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya) in April 2007! And now number 10 (The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya) is on the way, while we're barely getting to the fourth novel!
Man, we're kinda behind. I understand that it takes a while, but it'll be quite a few years at this rate before we'll be able to see new light novels. I realize it takes patience to wait so as being able to truly appreciate the joys of the works of Nagaru Tanigawa, but...

In other news, Amazon has finally posted the cover art for the Spring Summer Illustrations artbook:
You should be able to pick out the Endless Eight flyer art (Haruhi center), Tomare! cover art (top right) Juice art (middle right) Tanzaku postcard art (Haruhi bottom right), Kyon art from an issue of Newtype (bottom), Yuki art from Megumi iirc (bottom left), and the Yuki art from Newtype last year (middle left). I don't remember the Kyon and Koizumi art in the bottom left, Mikuru at center right, or the Mikuru and Tsuruya art at the top left.
Edit: Also the Chara-ani store announced their special favor for the box set. It will be a special cloth poster with art drawn by Ito-Sensei. Sample below:

Here's what I've got so far dancing around in my head. Note the out ofthe blue chorus lyric. Just an idea that I'd love you (OGP) to re-write or redefine or refine or trash. The reason I went here in the chorus is that is where my imagination, day to day, kept going. So I'm following it for now.
Is this a direction either in just the verse, or in the V, C you'd be interested in going? I'm hearing this as a Ringo on tubs sort of deal. Electrics. etc.

MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. - King College split a Friday softball doubleheader at Milligan (Tenn.) College with a 7-2 game one victory before Milligan scored a 6-5 eight-inning decision in game two.
The Lady Tornado went to 9-19 after the doubleheader while Milligan has a 17-12 record.
Rachael Wilmoth (Morristown, Tenn.) threw a complete game in the opener with just two runs on two hits allowed. She worked around seven walks and struck out a pair.
King got the lead in the first game thanks to a sharply hit RBI double down the left field line by Stephanie Mueller (Mt. Washington, Ky.). Aubree Hutt (Bristol, Va.) led off the game by beating out an infield single and then moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Cassie Ringstaff (Richlands, Va.).
Kendall Brabson (Bean Station, Tenn.) emptied the bases with her double to center in the fifth inning with the bases loaded. Her fourth double of the season hit off the fence.
In the King sixth Brittany Watson (Morristown, Tenn.) had a RBI single and a pair of wild pitches later scored two more runs.
Watson would go onto finish 4-for-4, the first four-hit game for a Lady Tornado player since Christy Kooch (Knoxville, Tenn.) went 4-for-5 at Bluefield (Va.) College on March 19, 2010.
Milligan broke up Wilmoth's no hitter attempt in the fourth when Abby Hughes singled up the middle which drove in Jessica Fix from second to tie things at 1-1.
The homestanding Lady Buffs got a seventh inning run when Camille Olvey had a sacrifice fly to center. Earlier in the inning Ellyn Sapp doubled to right.
Besides the four hits from Watson, Hutt and Brabson had two hits apiece.
Sidney Burns went the first five innings and was hit for four runs on eight hits.
In the eighth inning of the night cap King was able to get a pair of runs to break a 3-3 tie including a RBI double to left center by Brabson and then Mueller later scored on a wild pitch.
However, Milligan rallied for three runs in the next half inning with the tying and game-winning run coming from a single to right center with the bases loaded from Krista Lambdin.
The Lady Tornado struck again in the top of the first of game two with three runs on three hits. Mueller had a RBI double with a RBI single from Kooch. Later on a passed ball from Burns in a relief appearance allowed Kooch to score when the bases were loaded.
Milligan used a first inning home run from E. Biggs. In the third frame J. Fix used a sacrifice fly to push into a second Lady Buff run.
Wilmoth was the losing pitcher in game two with an inning of work in relief with four runs, three earned, on three hits.
Chancli Connaster worked 1 2/3 innings with a start and then finished the game. She allowed five runs on four hits. In between Connaster's appearences Burns threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts.
King's Samantha Watts (Nashville, Tenn.) was able to keep Milligan to just two runs in six innings. She worked around seven hits and struck out five with no walks.
Brabson and Shauna Haga (Blountville, Tenn.) each went 2-for-4.
King and Milligan faced each other Tuesday in Bristol with Milligan taking both 8-0 and 4-1.
Next for King will be a Thursday doubleheader at Reinhardt (Ga.) University with a 5 p.m. scheduled start.

At the end of the day as we move forward
Did the headline make you shudder? I felt guilty writing it. As weary as we may be of listening to tired, unimaginative, nonsensical, stupid clichés, the politicians, newscasters and business community will not allow them to die.
Last night on the evening news "at the end of the day" was used in interviews by two politicians and a highly respected newscaster. One politician used "at the end of the day" twice.
The list of the most hated and overused clichés has not changed much in the last few years. The people who use them have such little imagination that they can't come up with new ones. The vernacular created by street people at least changes regularly. And their slang has more purpose.
According to Internet polls, the consensus for the worst clichés includes:
• At the end of the day
• Moving forward
• Think outside the box
• Forward thinking
• Again
• We are where we are
• Not enough bandwidth
• Whatever
• We gave 110 percent
Let's explore the meaning and origin of a few of these mindless English language embarrassments. Maybe we can inspire the brain dead to eliminate them from their worn out vocabularies and stop them from assaulting our ears with their sophomoric drivel.
My personal most hated of the bunch is "whatever." According to the Oxford English dictionary "whatever" is a relative pronoun and adjective used to emphasize a lack of restriction in referring to anything or amount, no matter what.
Nonetheless, this perfectly good English word has been reduced in stature to an adverb that expresses exasperation or skepticism. In reality, it is an incomplete phrase used as an abbreviated insult to imply one of the following:
Whatever you say is irrelevant or stupid
Whatever you think doesn't matter
Whatever your opinion is, nobody cares
The next time someone says "whatever" to you, keep that in mind.
My next least favorite is "Think outside the box." Every time I hear it, I lose my appetite. This gem was initially intended to mean, "Think creatively, unimpeded by orthodox or conventional constraints." Oh! I get it. It began life as an unbelievably stupid metaphor. How anyone equated "Think outside the box" with original thought is beyond my realm of comprehension.
Anyway, this worn-out, hackneyed phrase sadly originated in this country in the early 1970s. Yes, it is that old. Various authors from the world of management consultancy claim to have introduced the phrase. I have difficulty believing anyone would admit using it, let alone creating it.
All right, we had to get to it eventually, let's address "At the end of the day." The only thing that happens at the end of the day is the sunsets, the moon eventually rises somewhere, and if there aren't too many clouds or a pall of industrial smog, a few stars might be visible.
The cliché is widely used by politicians who don't want to commit to something like, "After we resolve this problem, we can initiate an effort to stimulate the economy and create jobs."
Instead, they say, "At the end of the day." This means that at some point total disaster will take care of a problem and they won't have anything to solve, or eventually it will go away on its own.
Often, "At the end of the day" is followed by, "We can move forward." This is political speak that means absolutely nothing. Loosely translated I suppose we can equate it to, "After this disaster goes away, we'll go on to not deal with anything else that bothers you."
Then we have, "We gave 110 percent." Really? How is that done? It's a physical impossibility. Who creates this stuff?
And you just gotta love, "We are where we are." If that isn't an example of profound thinking, I don't know what is. All those who have a penchant for saying the obvious must be in total awe over that one.
When are people going to stop saying, "Again?" Especially, when they aren't repeating something they said earlier. If they are repeating something they said earlier, I suppose they use "again" as a polite way of saying, "And now to reiterate for the slow learners."
Unfortunately, at the end of the day we will continue to live in a system we can't understand.

After waiting for the longest two months of my life my FBI background check finally arrived! but the celebration has not begun because I'm not sure if I was sent the correct paper. With my initial application I included a letter saying that I needed the to have results document authenticated (agency seal and signature of a division official) because I will need to send the document for an apostille. Yes, we have read 100's of threads that begin like this but here is where it gets wacky....The results that i received today look like this: on a light blue/purplish paper, there is a large seal toward the bottom of the page but it is NOT embossed or raised, the division officials signature is black and is NOT in pen. Included in the envelope was a small sheet of paper saying, "The FBI's CJIS division has authenticated the enclosed U.S. Department of Justice Order 556-73 fingerprint search results by placing the FBI seal and signature of a Division official on the results. If you require an apostille, you must submit this authenticated document to the U.S Department of State (DOS) for further action. You may contact the U.S. DOS at..." It pretty much looks like a photocopy of what I was supposed to receive. So after more searching I found that in order to prevent fraudulent documents the words "UNAUTHORIZED COPY" will appear on any scanned or photocopied version. The words unauthorized copy DO NOT appear on what I was sent. So does this mean i was send an "authorized" copy? Will this be eligible for an apostille? and if it does get the apostille, will the Korean government accept it without an embossed seal and ink signature? I have also read many posts about not removing the staples that the office providing the apostille will do that but nothing I received was stapled... This is where I found info on the unauthorized copy: http://dwteachkorea.com/samples_criminal_background_check_and_apostille and here is the only place I could find that mentions the seal is required to be embossed: http://www.usauthentication.com/ApostilleonBackgroundcheck.html Any help or guidance is GREATLY appreciated Back to top laurennevaJoined: 19 Sep 2012Location: Texas Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 7:29 am Post subject: *UPDATE* For anyone who may come across this in the future... I spoke to the FBI this morning and they informed me that as of a month ago the authentication seal will no longer be embossed. So everything I received was correct, what a relief!

SimCity: The Card Game - New York City Starter Deck
card game
In 1987, game developers Will Wright and Jeff Braun founded Maxis Software, largely to assist in marketing Wright's SimCity. Successful sales led Maxis to publish similar titles, such as SimAnt (1991), A-Train (1992), and SimTower (1994), and the company soon became synonymous with innovative simulation games. Electronic Arts acquired the company in 1997, but its biggest hit was yet to come. In 2000, Maxis released The Sims, Wright's most successful title and the best-selling PC video game of all time. This "digital dollhouse" became so popular, the company released seven expansion packs, along with three direct sequels. In 2008, Maxis released Spore, which sold over one million units in the first month.

An off-duty Terrebonne Parish sheriff's deputy died Thursday night after his motorcycle collided with a car that pulled out of a Houma shopping mall parking lot and into his path, police said.
An off-duty Terrebonne Parish sheriff's deputy died Thursday night after his motorcycle collided with a car that pulled out of a Houma shopping mall parking lot and into his path, police said.
Taylor Segura, 23, a five-year Sheriff's Office veteran, was riding a 2013 Harley-Davidson east on Bayou Gardens Boulevard near Southland Mall about 7 p.m., State Police said.
Segura hit the driver's-side door of a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo that was pulling out of the mall's parking lot, State Police Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said.
The car's 16-year-old driver failed to yield before she pulled into Segura's path, Harrell said. Segura tried to avoid the collision by steering to the left and applying his rear brakes, but the motorcycle dropped onto its left side and slid into the Chevy's driver's-side door.
Shortly after impact, the motorcycle and car became engulfed in flames, Harrell said. Witnesses removed Segura from the road and, all the occupants of the car escaped unharmed.
Segura, who was wearing a proper helmet, died while being transported to Terrebonne General Medical Center, Harrell said.
State Police did not name the car's driver, who is from Raceland. She and her passengers, who were all wearing seat belts, were not injured in the crash.
The car's driver submitted to a breath test and was cleared of any alcohol involvement, troopers said. Routine toxicology tests are pending for Segura.
The crash remains under investigation, and Harrell said charges are pending.
Many deputies were attending a police academy graduation when they heard the news, Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said.
They flocked to the hospital, but it was too late, he said. Segura had died.
"Everyone is taking it hard," Larpenter said. "When you work with someone, they're like family."
Segura was a well-liked deputy who started part-time with the Sheriff's Office in 2008.
"It's not much words you should say," he said. "The young man had a bright future."
Segura leaves behind a wife, Larpenter said. He worked as a road patrolman and loved law enforcement.
"He was an excellent deputy," Larpenter said.
Jonathan Crabtree grew up with Segura. Both men chose to join the Sheriff's Office as deputies.
"We went from childhood friends to law enforcement family," he said.
Segura was a fun-loving guy who loved his job, Crabtree said.
"His motorcycles were his babies — his Harley-Davidsons," he said.

CORTLANDT MANOR, N.Y. – Hudson Valley Hospital Center is urging visitors and outpatients to stay at home if they have the flu or suspect they are getting it.
"Unless you have a condition that needs emergency department care, the hospital is the last place you should be if you have the flu," said Barbara Savatteri, director of infection control at Hudson Valley Hospital Center. "We are asking visitors who have the flu to stay at home. You don't want to spread the flu to your hospitalized loved ones or the staff that takes care of them."
Asking sick visitors to stay at home is one of several health precautions that the hospital is taking during the influenza outbreak. Visitors and outpatients who exhibit flu symptoms will be asked to wear masks. The hospital is also restricting children under 12 from visiting and is asking sick outpatients to reschedule their appointments, if possible.
On Saturday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a public health emergency in New York, one of more than 40 states where the flu is at epidemic levels. Two children in New York and 18 children across the United States and have died from this year's influenza.
The governor's declaration allowed pharmacists around New York to administer flu shots to children between 6 months and 18 years old. Normally, under New York education law, pharmacists can administer vaccinations only to people over 18 years old.
Hospital officials said the best way to protect against the flu is still to get a flu shot, and that flu vaccine still is available. Flu shots are available from your doctor and at many neighborhood pharmacies, and hospital officials recommended checking the Westchester County or Putnam County Health Department websites for local clinics where flu shots are available.
The hospital always has infection control policies in place, Savatteri said, but has stepped up its effprts and is asking the public to do its part to help stop the spread of the flu.
Savatteri said that in most cases people with the flu do not need to visit the emergency room.
"If you have flu-like symptoms, please call or see your primary care physician before coming to the emergency department," she said. "Of course if you feel you are in need of emergent care, please don't hesitate to come to the emergency department."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
In an annual pilgrimage visit to 13 different churches around the Golden Triangle on Good Friday, March 29, members of the Knights of Columbus subgroup Knights on Bikes shared a meal and prayer as well as reflected on the Stations of the Cross — moments associated with the historical and Biblical accounts of the trial, condemnation, punishment and death of Jesus.
In what has become an annual tradition since its inception in 2010, some local members of the Catholic fraternal and service group the Knights of Columbus plan a special Good Friday Stations of the Cross on March 29, rolling from church-to-church in Southeast Texas on motorcycles to complete their religious pilgrimage.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

When I think back to the days I was a pre-teen and a teenager, I often wonder how I ever made it to enjoy the life I live today.
When I think back to the days I was a pre-teen and a teenager, I often wonder how I ever made it to enjoy the life I live today.
Back then, we used to sleep three or four to a bed. Now each child must have his or her own bed; sometimes their own room. We didn't even dream of having our own bed, much less our own room. Even when our own children were growing up they had to share beds. Our largest bedroom had two double beds and a baby bed in it.
Then when our eldest son returned from serving in the U.S. Air Force, we added a room to be sure that there would be enough space for him. He, also, had to share a room with one of his brothers. Our only daughter, lucky girl, had her own room.
Getting them to school was really a trip. Try sending seven kids to six different schools and you'll know why I said a prayer that none of them would miss the bus that day. By this time the older children had either gone off to college or into the service of our country. We had also taken in another child to raise, and I think we had two children in the same grade.
We felt terrible when we realized we would not be able to help our children with their tuition or books. They went through college by winning scholarships and taking out loans. Our daughter followed in her mother's footsteps. She went straight to work after her high school graduation.
I don't remember exactly when I went to work for the first time. I know that at 12 I was ironing seersucker pants for the man of the house. It was people like this who made me into the person I am today. The lady of the house taught me how to do so many things.
You may wonder why Mama didn't teach me these things. She didn't because we didn't have much. I don't think Papa ever owned a pair of seersucker pants in his entire life. I know he never owned a car. We seldom went out anywhere, and if we did, we either walked or rode in a wagon hitched to a couple of mules — Cora and Carry, if I remember correctly.
Mama taught us a lot. She taught her children to be honest, clean of body and soul, and when we did something to do our very best. It was because of her and Papa's outlook on life during those skimpy days that I was able to get that first job. At least one of my sisters had worked for that lady before I worked there. A few years ago we went to see this lady's son. I asked him why his mom would hire us because I didn't think I was such a big help at that age.
He said his mother loved us and wanted to help us. So, you see, Mama's teaching was very important back then. Our parents also valued education and passed that on to their children.
I guess they realized the importance of education because Mama had no schooling at all and Papa only went to the fourth grade.
Papa could sign his name. I was good at forgery. Many times when Papa was not available to sign my report card, or was just too tired after a day's work, I would sign his name using the fancy C he used when he wrote his first and last names: Clovis Crochet. I still don't apologize for my forgery because I knew I was helping Papa. Most of the time I could have bragged about my grades, except for that year in fourth grade when I was not promoted to fifth grade. But, even so, my teacher didn't question the signature.
Today, life is much different than it was back then. We don't always appreciate all the things we have. Most of us started our marriage in rental apartments. If we were lucky enough to buy a house, it was usually a small house that someone had to give up because of a growing family. Today, young, married couples want a big house, new furniture and the latest in technological equipment. We had to be satisfied with the basics.
But look at the good side. My first child's birth cost us a hefty $96, including the doctor's fee, the hospital charge and the nursery charge. I'm told it's many times that much today.

Student Worker Policy
Inherent in the mission of Saint Louis University is the philosophy that educational efforts are directed to help students develop into critically reflective and socially responsible persons capable of exercising leadership.
This policy establishes special requirements for employing student workers.
This policy applies to all student workers at Saint Louis University excluding the Madrid campus.
Not applicable
Saint Louis University offers employment opportunities to students of the University which provide valuable work experience, financial assistance, and the ability to enhance the total educational experience.
Every consideration will be made to ensure that the student worker is first able to fulfill his/her obligations as a student of the University. However, since student workers are heavily relied upon by their employers to fulfill certain responsibilities, it is expected that they report to work when scheduled and that they fulfill their work responsibilities in a professional manner (i.e. maintain confidentiality, dress appropriately, etc.)
The hiring department, Career Services, OSFA and Human Resources are responsible for administering this policy.
To be eligible for a student worker assignment, the individual must be enrolled as a student at Saint Louis University and never have had their employment terminated from Saint Louis University for gross misconduct.
A student who was enrolled for the spring semester, and intends to enroll in the fall may be eligible for summer student employment.
Student workers who are no longer enrolled at Saint Louis University must be terminated from the student worker assignment but may apply for other staff (or non-student) employment opportunities within the University.
Eligibility for Federal Work Study (FWS) funds is determined by the Office of Scholarship/Financial Aid.
All open FWS and student worker positions are posted by the hiring departments through Career Services. Students searching for positions will use the same link, but register at the site as students and will then be able to review all available jobs and apply for the positions online. Departments submit names of students they are interested in hiring on the FWS Request Form to the Office of Student Financial Services, who will confirm FWS eligibility.
The FWS program provides funding to Saint Louis University of up to 75% of the minimum wage for each worker.
If the department has identified the student they would like to hire, posting at Career Services is not required, but confirming FWS eligibility is still necessary.
Federal Work Study and student workers are not eligible for University benefits, paid leave time, or holiday pay.
Non-FWS student workers may not work more than 20 hours per week during the regular semester. Federal Work Study students may not work more than 15 hours per week during the regular semester. During winter and summer breaks, both are eligible to work up to 40 hours per week and may also work overtime.
Student workers and FWS students are responsible for reporting their tax status to the Payroll office when they first begin their student worker assignment, and at the beginning of each fall semester thereafter.
Pre-employment paperwork including the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form must be completed in the Human Resources department prior to employment or the student is not authorized to begin working.
International students must obtain a Work Eligibility Form from the International Student Office and submit it to their campus employer prior to the beginning of each semester.
International graduate and undergraduate students contracted through their departments/The Graduate School (e.g. assistantships, fellowships) are not required to obtain work permission from the International Students Office. These students are still required, however, to prove U.S. work eligibility.
