Finding fault with critics will not reverse economic slowdown
By Brij Bhardwaj
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is protesting too much is a conclusion which is difficult to avoid after listening to his speech at the Company Secretaries annual meet. Mr Modi who normally speaks impromptu relied on slides and comprehensive notes to defend the performance of the Government on economic front. His defence that GDP has not fallen to a low level for the first time is true, but the unfortunate part is that it has happened because of self-inflicted wounds like demonetisation and hasty implementation of GST without doing the necessary ground work.
On these issues along with growing unemployment, farmers distress, fall in exports, growing non-performing assets of banks has created a situation which to say the least will make a recovery difficult. To prove the point Reserve Bank of India has lowered growth target and refused to reduce the bank rate as sought by industry as well as supporters of the Government. These conclusions were also reinforced by report of State Bank of India, economic survey and fall in manufacturing.
As for the employment statistics less said the better it will be as even companies making profits and considered leaders in their respective field like HDFC bank, Larsen Tubro and IT companies are retrenching instead of recruiting new hands. The worst hit are IT companies. The situation in the unorganised sector is even worse. The position with regard to formal sector is had as for informal sector figures are not available, but the situation is worse.
The Government has to realise that this downtrend has happened despite the fact that oil prices remained low allowing the Government to rake in huge sums by imposing high rates of excise duty. Another unfortunate fact was that allocations for sectors like Education and Health remained low despite spurt in revenues. Our fiscal deficit is low, foreign reserves are high, but it has not led to any hike in public expenditure which is necessary to give a push on the economic front.
On top of it there was a big economic upset following the demonetisation as a result people suffered as they were forced to stand in lines for hours to withdraw their own money. One had hoped that as a result of this step all those who were holders of black money will suffer, but the reverse has happened as black money has been turned into white, thanks to the help provided by bank officials who were ready to suggest ways to park huge amounts of money in banks without any questions being asked.
All goals of this drastic step have not been achieved. Black money holdings remain intact, terrorist activity has increased and counterfeiting of currency goes at the same speed except that now it is coming through Nepal, Bangladesh and is of very high quality and difficult to detect. Prime Minister has now discovered a new gain that is reduction in use of cash in economy which was falling in any case with more use of credit cards and banks for high transactions.
To overcome its inability to achieve any of the declared goals of demonetization, the Government has decided to investigate lakhs of transactions and bank accounts. A task which will take years to compete. The income tax department has been give a free hand to raid and search which to say the least marks return of inspector Raj. The job is being entrusted to an agency whose integrity has been always suspect. Many are predicting that as a result of this exercise income tax officials will gain as was the case with bank officials with no gains for the Government.
Hasty implementation of GST, one does not have to go far to seek evidence as Government alone has made over thirty amendments and issued large number of notifications making understanding of law not only difficult for ordinary traders but also experts. The Prime Minister has admitted need for change and promised even change of rates if necessary. One can not help but mention that a big tax reform has been made a heavy burden on traders. Changes are expected soon.
World over one rate is fixed while we have multiplicity of rates and large differences between them. Prime Minister in the first instance decided to do away with Planning Commission and left all decision making to a group of bureaucrats who lack economic expertise and we had a situation where disaster was inevitable. He has now appointed an group of economic advisors, but will advise come in time to be acted upon before 2019 poll. Prime Minister also felt hurt because criticism came from two persons who were Ministers in first BJP Government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Even RSS chief and labour wing of BJP has also not kept silent. One hopes that there will be a course correction as making fun of critics alone will not work.

Derry Conservation Commission reviews proposed medical facilityBy Ryan Lessard
Union Leader Correspondent
July 10. 2018 8:15PM
DERRY — The Conservation Commission reviewed updated plans for a new medical facility proposed for 11 Tsienneto Road during its meeting Monday night.
The commission decided to hold off voting on the project until more complete plans are presented at the next meeting in two weeks.
The commission did a site walk with project managers in late May after getting preliminary plans. But since then the plans have been altered and board members were expecting more detail than what was presented Monday night.
Representing 11 Tsienneto Road LLC, Chris Nickerson presented the plan to build an 18,000-square-foot surgical, ambulatory and office building for Derry Medical Center, across the street from the company's existing campus at 14 Tsienneto Road.
Nickerson said they will be subdividing a 6-acre parcel so they can focus on the first phase, which will include the building, and save the second lot for future development that would ultimately be part of a unified campus.
Compared to what commission members saw in May, the new plans show the building moved closer to the street and away from the wetlands in the back.
The wetlands were one of the main areas of concern for commission members, according to the chairman, James Degnan.
Degnan said members had concerns about snow storage and dumpsters in the back, and how those would potentially impact the wetlands. Ultimately, he said, the plans were incomplete.
"What we had asked for was a full set of plans … to review, and hopefully we'll be able to vote on it at that point," Degnan said.
Neil Wetherbee, the Town Council's liaison on the commission, echoed some of those concerns. He said the board probably would have voted to approve the project if it was presented with a more thorough plan.
"We wound up actually with more questions than we had in the first place," Wetherbee said.
He said he was surprised by how little detail was presented at the meeting.
Town Planning Director George Sioras said the project leaders plan to bring an updated plan before the Technical Review Committee (TRC) on July 20. The Conservation Commission will receive a copy at that time and representatives will return to the next commission meeting in two weeks to discuss and vote on it.
The TRC is a group of knowledgeable town officials set up to help developers create site plans that are better prepared for passage through the governing bodies that need to approve them.
Sioras said developers plan on having a final plan ready for the Planning Board to review in September.
The commission also voted unanimously to approve a project by the Department of Public Works to temporarily dewater a 40-square-foot area around the Hood Pond Dam in order to perform maintenance on a malfunctioning low-level outlet gate.

Cocktail Hour: The Fruity Boozy Smoothie
I haven't been feeling too well lately. I've been coughing, sneezing, and laying in bed all day. When it came time to make a cocktail, I thought to myself, "this is not going to be good for my system."I almost wimped out on making a cocktail this week; that is, until I had a revelation. I thought of the perfect way to get all the vitamins I've been needing AND booze it up a little bit: I could make a smoothie! A fruity, boozy smoothie to be precise!
The possibilities were endless when it came to making a yummy smoothie. I had all sorts of fruity liqueurs and schnapps. I wanted to come up with my own recipe, so I played around and came up with one that I thought would be good. I added the recipe to Recipe4Living, but I've copied it here, too:
1 C. orange juice
about 1 1/2 C. frozen fruit (I use the Dole frozen fruit mix which has mangoes, pineapples, peaches, and strawberries)
1 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka
1 oz. pomegranate liqueur
The process was simple: stick it all into a blender and mix until smooth and frothy. This is what it looked like before it was blended:
Check out the amazing colors! It looked so much like a sunset that I almost didn't want to blend it! But I did. I mean, a girl's gotta get her vitamins, right?
Once blended, it was thinner than a regular smoothie. I wanted it that way, though. I wanted it to be thin enough to drink through a straw and I wanted it to be a bit frothy, as well. Success!
The pomegranate taste definitely overpowered the drink. It was the primary flavor that you could taste, even though there was only 1 oz. of it in the mixture. I always forget that pomegranate is slightly bitter and not very sweet, so it was a different taste than I was expecting. It was good, though. Not too sweet and not too alcoholic. I could only slightly taste the vanilla vodka; it was more of an aftertaste than anything else.
This smoothie didn't knock my socks off, but it was definitely a good way to make drinking alcohol slightly healthier. There was plenty of vitamin C in that drink, that's for sure!
If you'd like to make a boozy smoothie, I'd encourage you to try out different fruity flavors. Next time, I might try adding some Chambord or some lemon vodka. Heck, even a little bit of Godiva liqueur might be good- who knows! All I know is that next time I'm sick, I'm having another boozy smoothie right away.

On a night the Glenwood boys basketball team struggled shooting the ball, coach Curt Schulte agreed his team's best offense might have been the rebound.
OMAHA – Jace Peters admits he's having the time of his life playing college soccer for the team he idolized as a youngster growing up in Glenwood.
"I guess you could say it has always been a dream to play at Creighton," Peters said during an interview last weekend. "I watched plenty of Creighton soccer games before I was ever on the team. Being around this area and playing club soccer in Omaha, you get to know the program."
CEDAR FALLS – Fremont-Mills put an exclamation point on a historic football season Friday as the Knights steamrolled Murray, 81-0, in the 8-player state championship game at the Cedar Falls UNI-Dome.
Fremont-Mills football coach Jeremy Christiansen was careful not to use the word "revenge" in describing his team's 69-26 thrashing of the team that eliminated his Knights in last year's state semifinals.
MALVERN - For the second straight season, the Fremont-Mills football team will be finishing its season in the UNIDome in Cedar Falls.
The Glenwood volleyball season came to an end Thursday with a 25-13, 25-16, 25-18 loss to Harlan in the Regional semifinals Thursday in Harlan.

The Glenwood football season came to end on Friday with a 49-6 loss at Carroll.
The 7-2 Tigers out-yarded the Rams (1-8) 376 to 147 and forced five turnovers in the lopsided win.
Glenwood coach Brian Albert said his team's inability to sustain drives - the Rams punted on their first four drives and trailed 21-0 early - and untimely giveaways were the difference.

This is another ren faire garb related post. Blackwork is the standard decoration for renaissance era undies. As much as I would love to have this delicate stitchery around the neckline and cuffs of my chemise, it's not gong to happen. That would take serious amount of time; quiet, uninterrupted time, of which I have none. So, I am going to fake it. By combining some of the embroidery stitches on my sewing machine, I have been able to create a fairly believable substitute. Let's just hope I don't run into a group of hardcore authenticity nuts at the faire, who will have me burned at the stake.

Yes, BooBoo, Gerd definitely can feel like a heart attack. Pain in chest and back and up the arms and in the jaw! I know, cause it happened to me many years ago and then again two weeks ago. You must go to a Gastro doctor to confirm this. Also a cardiologist will give you tests to rule out it is your heart. You must not "assume" that those pains are from Gerd even though you can have those very pains you describe. A heart attack can also have the same symptoms. Rule it out with the two type doctors I mentioned.
Good luck to you!
Thank you AquariusAnneCA,its actually my husband.He has been to the cardiologist, had a nuclear stress test,catherization,pet and cat scans,process of elimination, this is what they think.Just asking cos its crazy not to be able to define this,with all this modern techniques crap.LOL thanks again.BooBoo.
Hi again Booboo, what happens that causes the horrible pain is this... in my case anyhow, if I eat too much, too fast and too much is not a whole lot... such as a cup of soup and a nice sized bowl of salad with a piece of french bread, then this is overload for me. What happens is part of my stomach will go into the passage that leads to the esophagus due to the fact that when you have GERD, the muscle that opens and closes the sphincter has weakened thus causing this problem. This is the pain that I get in my chest from the pressure of the stomach being pushed up where it should not be... there are many articles online and I go to google to a reputable website to get this information... I know I cannot eat certain foods that are acid relate or not eat at least an hour or so before I lay my head down... also, be sure his head is elevated. There is so much more to all of this but researching it is great so that you will know what to ask the doctor.
The PPI's help this condition a lot but then after 12 to 14 years of their use, they started have bad affects on my system. So I slowly went off of the omeprazole and take 1 tablet 150mg Zantac each day to help the neutralizing of acids which is also a part of the GERD problem.
Good luck to hubby!
Thank you for all your info.I will research this now.Have a Merry Christmas.

LED means Light Emitting Diode. Led light bulbs work in a different way in comparison to traditional halogen or incandescent bulbs, which glows light when a wire inside becomes too hot. LEDs light are in fact open-valve diodes where electrons flow only in one direction and when enough electrons flow at once they emit light.
LED light for Bike has various benefits than the traditional form of lighting. These are;
LED light for Bike can be simply purchased online through various websites one of the popular site is Amazon or through the large chain of sporting goods. One must ensure the proper check while you purchase the Led light as it gives enough lights or not as you can't risk with your safety where lights are concerned.
These lights are very high quality lights. And we are thinking that it's very energy efficient and light glowing, mostly LED Lights uses every where like restourent, roads, Cars, bikes, torch, and watch. Its little bit expensive but on the longer use it will not expencive. LED light has very very low temperature due to low temperature LED Lights are very soothing and on the uses as reading lamp and home lights there are very beneficial . As far as power saving concern it's also very beneficial.
In the LED light for Bike you do dim at the time of sleeping so you can use it in the night lamp also. And as compare other lights LED light for Bike are costly but the user have to do care of these lights because as per safety concern these are week. Mostly white lights are very usual and heat sinking. This seems very cool like moon light .who person like moon light they can use it in room. LED light for Bike is shock proof also.

The last episode of Agent Carter premiered last night wrapping up the eight week long series. Here's how it all came together in the end.
After discovering the gruesome scene in the theater where item 17 was set off, Agents Carter, Thompson and Souza investigate to see what might have caused the chaos. Souza accidently spays the canister from the item and starts to attach Thompson. Only the police are able to get him under control. Once the effects of the canister ware off, Thompson explains the effects to the SSR office. While discussing what Ivchenko's motives might be Howard Stark strolls into the SSR.
Stark is placed under arrest and they immediately begin questioning him. Stark confesses to hearing about what happened in the theater and that being the reason of his return. He explains that the gas in the canister is called Midnight Oil and it was tested at Finnow. The purpose of the gas was to keep the soldiers away instead it cause them to turn on each other. Carter finds out that Ivchenko is actually Johann Fennhoff, a psychiatrist with a specialization in hypnosis. Stark becomes the bait in a plan to bring Fennhoff out in the open.
Dottie and the doctor drive to an airfield. While Dottie is dealing with the guard, Fennhoff hears about Starks return over the radio. Stark is being regarded as a hero and will be celebrated at an upcoming event. When Dottie returns Fennhoff says they have a new plan.
While getting ready for the press conference Stark asks to see his inventions. He gets upset over how the SSR has handled them. He puts on his own armored vest for protection. On the way out Stark grabs the orb with Captain America's blood inside.
During the press conference, Thompson declares that Stark has been cleared of all changes against him and thanks him for his work. While Stark is speaking a shot is fired from the building above. Carter notices where it came from. Stark is taken from the scene in a police car driven by an officer who is being hypnotized by Fennhoff.
Carter and Thompson find that the riffle was rigged to be fired. They realize that the shots were a diversion and then find that Stark has been captured. Carter realizes that Fennhoff wants to punish Stark and that the movie theater was just a test. Carter and Thompson remember its VE-day and realize that the target must be Times Square.
Souza find the police car that Stark was taken in but the driver is dead. Starks been taken away by Dottie and Fennhoff. Jarvis suggest that they are headed to where Stark's plane is in one of his vaults.
At the vault Stark remembers showing Dottie the vault while drunk. Fennhoff admits to being at Finnow at the time that the Midnight Oil was dropped. He survived because he was wearing a gas mask but his family died. He blames Stark for what happened. Fennhoff hypnotizes Stark and makes him believe he is going to go find Captain America when in reality he's taking off in a plain with the Midnight Oil. As the plane takes off the SSR arrives.
The SSR plan on trying to talk Stark out of the hypnosis and Jarvis volunteers to be in the air to shoot Stark down in case he reaches land. Carter takes on Dottie and Fennhoff. Carter is able to kick Dottie out of a window. She appears to be dead when she lands on a plane. Souza and Thompson try to get Fennhoff while Carter tries to snap Stark out of the hypnosis. Fennhoff tries to hypnotize Souza into shooting Thompson but instead Souza hits Fennhoff with his gun. He was wearing ear plugs.
Jarvis has Stark in his sight in the air. Carter continues to try to talk stark out of it. Stark finally snaps out of the hypnosis and Carter tells Jarvis to stand down. Carter discovers that Dottie's body is gone but there is a trail of blood. Fennhoff is taken into custody.
Once back at the SSR Carter gets applause from the rest of the agents. She has not made a decision on whether she wants to stay there. A senator comes into the agency to thank Agent Thompson for stopping the attack. Carter isn't bothered that he is getting credit. Souza invites Carter out for a drink but she declines.
Carter and Angie move into one of Stark's homes free of charge for as long as they need it. Jarvis offers his assistance to Carter if she should ever need him again. It is revealed that Stark is trying to get his inventions back from the SSR so he can destroy them. Jarvis gives the vial of Captain America's blood to Carter. Later, Carter has a heartfelt good bye to Steve as she pours the vial into the river.
As with any project in the Marvel Universe, there's a post-credits scene. Fennhoff muzzled and being taken to his cell. Out of the shadows of the cell steps out Arnim Zola, a scientist from Hydra. He has heard of what Fennhoff can do and asks him to work with him. He reminds him that they are in an American prison and that America is a land of opportunity.
The series wrap up tied up a lot of loose ends. The motive was finally revealed and all the pieces started falling into place. Viewers just had to stick around long enough to figure out what all of the difference pieces meant. As a viewer, I was starting to worry that the show was going to end in one giant cliffhanger since ABC did that with another miniseries that recently aired. The biggest questions now are where does Carter go now? What will Fennhoff and Zola do together? We already know that Zola helps with the infiltration of SHIELD later on; could Fennhoff's abilities be how it all happened? The bigwigs at Marvel Studios really know how to leave us wanting more.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have already noted that Hayley Atwell is mentioned on the most recent movie posters released for The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Maybe the events of Agent Carter will be tying in to the next movie. It's already been revealed that she will be featured in a flashback for the upcoming Ant-Man.
If you haven't gotten a chance to watch the series, I highly recommend checking it out. There are a number of tie-ins to the rest of the Marvel Universe as well as featuring a woman in a strong role, trying to earn her place among her male peers.

Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park, Longs Peak
On July 7,1993, at 2152, HAM radio operator Scott Kimball contacted Rocky Mountain National Park dispatch via a HAM base station operator in Wellington, Colorado. Kimball reported from the Boulder Field campsites area on Longs Peak that a party of three persons was stranded on the North Face (Cables) Route of Longs Peak and that they were yelling for help. He said that the party had lights but that they had gone out. Ranger Jim Detterline sent a party of three rangers to the scene. They left Longs Peak Trailhead at 2400 and worked their way to the Boulder Field in a severe lightning/thunderstorm. At 0350, Detterline contacted the Tammy Backenstose party of three, who had been identified as the stranded climbers. They admitted that they were noisy but did not request help. They were slow but came down on their own power and passed the reporting party at the Boulder Field. However, the reporting party declined to recontact the park that the situation was terminated. The Backenstose party had missed the rescue team because the rescue team went up the Jim s Grove cut-off in order to respond quickly to the scene, which was 6.5 miles from the trailhead.
A combination of confusing circumstances due both to the reporting party and the slow climbers resulted in an expensive and false response by the park rescue team. The use of HAM radios, other portable radios, and cellular phones to initiate rescue responses on Longs Peak has become increasingly popular on Longs Peak since 1986, and has resulted in several lives saved. However, once someone has initiated a rescue, it is that individuals responsibility to, at the very least, inform the park service of any major changes in the situation such as completion of a self-rescue. The witnesses at the Boulder Field, according to the climbers, declined to mention that a rescue for them had been initiated. In reviewing the actions of the climbing party, there are several problems here. The North Face route was obviously beyond their abilities to complete within daylight hours, at least as they had planned their trip with three on a rope and within one day. Especially serious was their poor conduct on the rappels, as their yelling initiated a false rescue response. (Source: Jim Detterline, Longs Peak Supervisory Climbing Ranger, Rocky Mountain National Park)
(Editor's Note: Rocky Mountain National Park had a total of 132 "overdue" parties, 16 of which were technical climbers. Of this total, 34 required SAR. Nine of those were technical climbers, eight of them categorized as minor (less than $500). This park, like most others, experiences a number of "unfounded" call outs. Yosemite reported that for 1993, 22 percent of the SARs were "unfounded. " Expensive!
Costs for the six major climber rescues, and the nine minor ones accounted for 55 percent of the dollar costs—$19,000—in Rocky Mountain National Park. This is in contrast to Yosemite National Park, in which the costs for climber SAR—$64,000—was 16.5 percent of the total. One hiker search alone in Yosemite cost $134,000. Unfortunately, "unfounded" and hiker incidents end up being recorded as "mountaineering ' or "mountain related" by such agencies as the National Safety Council, as well as the media.)

Silverado 1500 Crew Cab is adapted for police use
The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Special Service Vehicle (SSV) joins the brand's growing police vehicle portfolio. It goes on sale this summer, offering the same capabilities, efficiency and durability as the award-winning Silverado 1500, with special features designed for police use.
The SSV package is available on Silverado 1500 Crew Cab in 1WT or 1LS trims, and includes the 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8, rated at 355 horsepower and delivering the highest EPA-rated fuel economy for a 2WD V-8 full-size pickup: 23 mpg highway. The engine is available with E85 capability. Police agencies can choose 2WD or 4WD models with the standard 6'6" pickup box or a shorter 5'8" box.
"Last year, the Silverado 1500 was awarded for its low cost of ownership, a key purchasing factor for municipalities and government agencies," said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president for GM Fleet & Commercial. "The EcoTec3 engine provides the best fuel economy of any V-8 and still gives agencies the power and capability they need from a full-size pickup."
Contented for service
The Silverado SSV is equipped with a standard 170-amp high-output alternator and 730-CCA auxiliary battery, which allows officers to operate lights, radios, computers, cameras and other equipment while parked with the engine turned off, preserving the charge of the vehicle's primary battery. The SSV pickup also is equipped with a 110-volt outlet for equipment, and comes standard with electrical power supply for four upfitter switches located on the center stack for easy control and accessibility.
The crew cab offers a vinyl rear seat along with large rear doors for easy entry when transporting passengers. Other available interior options include front center seat delete, which provides an open center console space for police equipment, an auxiliary dome lamp and an electronic four-wheel drive switch located on the dash.
An available common key option allows municipalities to use one key to operate all of their Silverado SSVs and 2015 Tahoe police vehicles. Chevrolet will offer ship-through options for the upfit of light bars, sirens, partitions and additional aftermarket equipment.

Old School Fridays for Midlife Mental Health
Anyway, if you came of age when I did, then you're most likely middle-aged now, and if you grew up with Motown, Stax, Soul, Arista, and Atlantic records, so much the better. What is it about hearing the music we loved in our youth to conjure sweet memories?
After seeing the Old School Friday meme around the blogosphere for a long while and always getting a kick out of the posts, I decided it's time for me to enjoy my age and sit at the grown folks table. For my first ever OSF meme post, I'm going way back to childhood (before I was a Tween) with songs from Jr. Walker and The All Stars and The Delfonics.
Jr. Walker and The All Stars, "What Does it Take?"
The Delfonics "For the Love that I Give To You."
When I hear these songs, I remember running and funning with my cousins in New Orleans, jumping rope in front of my grandmother's house, and riding in the car with my mom as she dragged me out for all-day Saturday shopping. I also recall trying to figure out what was this thing called love that the singers kept talking about.
This music influenced my romantic notions of male/female love for better or worse. Listening to these songs could make you think you were in love even when you weren't. I like hearing them because they remind me of my innocence.
I got stuck on the idea of being one of the grown folks after reading Revvy Rev's Old School post. I grooved to each one of his choices, which are all really grown. :-)
Through Sojourner's Place, I learned that the creators of this meme are Mrs. Grapevine and The Marvalous View and has these rules, if you want to join the party.

Welcome to OSF choice blogger! It is good to have some grown company and you know that I am feeling your picks, the Delphonics and Jr. Walker nem'. I love it. This music keeps me sane and calms me down when the thumpin' music gets me too amped up.
I see that you already tracked down the info that you requested on my blog. Good! Enjoy OSF and have a great weekend!

Welcome to OSF - and good choice of songs - you're swimming in my age pool with those!
I'm an oldie and did Elvis all week in honor of his birthday so I just had to post Elvis singing Viva Las Vegas even though I had to cheat a bit on my year of graduation, lol.
Happy OSF and look forward to more of your posts!

No matter the age, I haven't seen too many songs on this meme that I do not know. Every now and then someone will pull something out of the wood-work, that puts me in my place and lets me know that I'm not really Old School. After all I was born in 1977
We also have to add you to the e-mail roster, so if you can please send me your e-mail address at firstname.lastname@example.com. That way you will know what the theme of the week is.
Lastly, I love these two songs, but The Delfonics is by far my favorite. It's something about that falsetto lead that draws me in.
Welcome to OSF!

Gay Teacher
"Gay Teacher: A Story about Love, Hate and Lessons Yet to be Learned" chronicles the compelling, tragic journey of a gay teacher.
Gay Teacher
"Gay Teacher: A Story about Love, Hate and Lessons Yet to be Learned" chronicles the compelling, tragic journey of a gay teacher.
Gerry Crane's Story (written version of video)
Nineteen years ago two men, Gerry and Randy, exchanged vows of love and commitment on a fall Saturday in 1995 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The following Monday, Gerry returned to his job as a music teacher at Byron Center High School and discovered he had been outed by a student. During the weeks and months which followed, the once much loved and lauded teacher, was harassed, threatened, and ostracized by parents and other educators.
Parents pulled their children out of his classes. For eight months, Gerry was repeatedly called into the office to address false accusations. Colleagues gave him the silent treatment. School officials mailed Focus on the Family's anti-gay propaganda to parents in the school district. The school board issued a formal statement: "Homosexuals do not constitute proper role models as teachers."
Many religious leaders and believers in the community cited the Bible to justify their condemnation of Gerry, others remained silent, and a small number of religious leaders formed a group, Concerned Clergy, to offer an opposing Biblical position and start a dialogue about faith and homosexuality in the community.
In spite of the fact that Gerry's struggle as a gay teacher received national news coverage and there was some organized support for him, the harassment continued. At the end of the 1995-1996 school year Gerry was forced to resign. Six months later Gerry Crane died from a stress- related heart attack at age 32.
Many people were outraged with the way Gerry was treated by the school district, many parents and others in the community. Yet what would we say to Gerry if he returned today and learned that nineteen years later teachers are still losing their jobs for merely being gay; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teachers still do not have legal protections in most states; and LGBT students continue being bullied, some to the point where they are suicidal.
Along with telling Gerry's story, my book includes discussion of the current climate for LGBT teachers and students and the change which remains to take place. Gerry's story needs to be told.
Why am I writing this book?
Gerry's story needs to be documented in part because it is a significant segment of LGBT and Michigan history.Gerry's journey is representative of what hundreds of thousands of LGBT people have experienced in the past 50 years. Gerry's story was covered on a regular basis by media in West Michigan as it was unfolding: The Grand Rapids Press reported that it received more letters to the editor about Gerry's case than any other issue it covered in its then 104-year history. Eventually the media coverage became national, including Time Magazine and the television program 20/20. My research includes the details, influences, perspectives and context which can only be unearthed by engaging in a more comprehensive investigation of the facts.
I also want to present Gerry's story for LGBT educators and students. When the school board issued a formal statement that "homosexuals do not constitute proper role models as teachers" this declaration was directed at Gerry, but also felt by other LGBT teachers and LGBT students, at an age when many were starting to come to terms with their personal identity. The students who attended Gerry's high school during this time witnessed some of the important adults in their lives and community direct anger and rage at one of their favorite teachers, at the same time they witnessed others reacting with love and a sense of justice. The effects of this experience on other members of the community will be discussed in this book. The book also discusses the current climate in which LGBT educators continue to work.
I want to chronicle Gerry's experience because anti-LGBT discrimination and hate ended his career and cost him his life. A young, dedicated, passionate, talented music teacher and a man of exceptional character died at age 32 as a result of discrimination and hate. Gerry's story deserves to be told.
In my book I also want to tell the story of a community that was greatly affected by this vicious, public, personal condemnation of Gerry. In particular I want to detail the story of religious responses to this situation. Many religious leaders and others in the community cited the Bible to justify their view that a gay person should not be able to work as a public school teacher. A large number of religious leaders and believers remained silent. As noted above, a small group of religious leaders formed a coalition, Concerned Clergy, to offer a differing Christian and Jewish view and initiate a dialogue within the community about faith and homosexuality.
Finally, I am motivated to write this book because I have a passion for history which I inherited from my father. I find history to be informative, inspirational, thought-provoking and in an odd way comforting. As aptly stated by George Orwell, "The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." Gerry's story and the stories of others in the LGBT community must continue to be told.
How does a story about a gay teacher in the mid-1990's relate to life in 2014?
The recent surge in the number of states which are legalizing same-sex marriage has led many people to conclude that LGBT-related discrimination is a phenomena which can only be seen in our nation's collective rear view mirror. This is a misleading conclusion.
The Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network's (GLSEN) 2013 National School Climate Survey examined the middle and high school experiences of LGBT youth nationally and found that:
-74% of LGBT students were verbally harassed in the past year because of their sexual orientation
-36% of LGBT students were physically harassed (e.g., pushed or shoved) in the past year because of their sexual orientation
-17% were physically assaulted (e.g., punched, kicked, injured with a weapon) in the past year because of their sexual orientation
-30% of LGBT students missed at least one day of school in the prior month as a result of feeling unsafe or uncomfortable because of the hostile LGBT climate at school
In 2013, The Advocate reported a study which revealed that lesbian and gay teachers are less likely to challenge LGBT-based bullying in schools because they feared for their jobs. The teachers' fears are warranted:
-in 2013, gay elementary school principal Tom Klansnic was fired by the North Gresham Elementary School in Gresham, Oregon after he revealed that he was gay
-in 2013, the Hesperia Unified School District in California refused to renew lesbian teacher Julia Frost's contract after she helped LGBT students speak out about harassment perpetrated by other teachers
-in 2012, high school principal Cynthia Davis was fired from the Paradise Valley Unified School District in Arizona after a "concerned community member" submitted a letter stating she suspected Davis was a lesbian and thus living a "questionable lifestyle"
-in 2009, lesbian high school teacher Brook Johnson was fired from the Corunna Public School District in Michigan for allowing the school's Diversity Club to put up a display honoring LGBT History Month
These are just a few examples.
The trauma that Gerry suffered -- and even his death -- were not enough to generate support for the passage of a state law in Michigan prohibiting LGBT-based employment discrimination. In addition:
-19 years later, it is still legal to discriminate against an employee based on the person's actual or perceived sexual orientation in 29 states and under federal law
-19 years later LGBT teachers are still losing their jobs based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression
-19 years later, LGBT students are being taught in anti-LGBT climates within school districts
It is my hope that my book will help garner attention to these facts and channel change for LGBT students and teachers.
How will I use the money?
I will use the funds to complete the research and writing of my book and obtain professional developmental and copy editing, publication, distribution, technology and marketing services.The production process includes interior book layout and design, art and design for covers, indexing, photography, editing, copyright and legal compliance services, binding and printing. The technology and marketing services include establishing an author website, social media platforms, eBook conversion and distribution services and search engine optimization.
My objective with this project is not only to publish my book, but also to promote it with the following objectives in mind:
-to provide an understanding of Gerry's journey and raise awareness of the situation faced by many LGBT educators
-to provide a source of strength and inspiration for those who are or have experienced a similar journey
-to educate people about the current status of LGBT employment discrimination
-to provide awareness about how religious leaders can support the LGBT community
-to motivate schools to act in a manner which produces the best long-term outcomes for their students, teachers and community
-to encourage parents and community leaders who support LGBT issues by highlighting the stories of those people and groups who acted with courage and compassion when doing so involved personal risks
In order to achieve these objectives I will actively promote my book at community and association events and through the media. I will attend and participate in education and LGBT-related conferences, community events, book exhibits and book fairs. I need funds for these marketing activities along with public relations services to develop and disseminate promotional materials, press releases, reviews and videos to print, radio, television, online and social media sources.
How will I use money raised beyond my funding goal?
I will use money raised beyond my funding goal in two ways. My book will include information about teachers who have more recently experienced LGBT-related discrimination and harassment. I will use a part of this money to further research those stories. Since many people do not believe that LGBT-based employment discrimination still exists sharing these stories will greatly enrich the book and extend the impact the book will have to promote change. I will also use this money to attend additional education, community and LGBT events to speak about Gerry's story and my book.
How else can I help?
Please contact me by email at email@example.com if you or someone you know has information about Gerry's story or more current LGBT discrimination-related stories. Please feel free to either send your information to me by email or send me a message to set a time for a telephone or in-person conversation. Thank you very much for your support.
Risks and challenges
One challenge in projects of this nature is getting people to agree to be interviewed. This is particularly the case with LGBT teachers, students and family members who are concerned that their participation could cause them to be targeted in some manner and for those who were personally hurt by the way Gerry was treated. This could also be true for people who may have changed their views, regret their actions or maintained their position but feel that some people crossed a line. For this reason, I am seeking your assistance if you know of individuals who have knowledge about Gerry or who were involved in the school or community at that time. I am also interested in interviewing LGBT teachers who have more recently struggled with these issues. If you could put me in contact with any additional individuals to interview, this support would be helpful.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

"Back in my day, everything cost a nickel and we had to walk four miles to school, in the snow!" Everyone knows one of these back-in-my-dayers who loves to talk about how soft society has grown. Back in their day, you could buy a hamburger for a thumbs up, a gallon of gas for a smile, and a house for a couple thousand dollars. And today, that house is worth 30 times that! Or so they say.
This isn't necessarily as impressive as it seems, though. For example, as 24/7 Wall Street, reports, a house purchased in 1930 for around $6,000 would be worth about $195,000 today. However, when you adjust for inflation, 1930s home values have increased less than one percent per year.
In fact, the largest jumps in real estate values occurred over two distinct periods. The first period was the post-World War II housing boom. As government rationing led to a limited supply of homes, the 1944 G.I. Bill that subsidized home purchases for soldiers increased demand even further. With such a heavy increase in demand, home values jumped upwards.
The second major spike came during the period that led to the Great Recession. Thanks to easy credit, a favorable tax policy, and low mortgage interest rates, the demand for housing went wild. And while homeownership peaked in 2004 at 69 percent, many of these homeowners were unable to afford their mortgages, and foreclosures caused home prices to drop sharply.
Other than those two periods, national home prices have remained pretty stable. If you want to check for yourself, just follow the link below and you can view the adjusted median home value, unadjusted median home value, and one-year change in real median home value for any year between 1930 and 2015.
