Grappling with Increase in Crime, Re-envisioning Adeline, Funding Infrastructure and More Berkeley News
Dear Neighbor,
I am troubled by news reports and statistics showing that crime in Berkeley has steadily increased over the past several years. Although the overall crime rate is lower today than it was a decade ago, the recent uptick – a trend replicated nationally – is worrisome and must be addressed. I, along with other council members, want to do everything we can to help the Berkeley Police Department not only fight crime, but be proactive in crime prevention.
Please know that improving public safety is a top priority and the City Council has been working over the last two months to address police staffing and increase resources for our Police Department.
Despite high profile cases, including among Bay Area agencies, the Berkeley Police Department has had a great track record over the years. It has some of the best-trained and most educated officers, and has avoided the type of scandals that plague many agencies. We value and respect our officers and want to help them do their jobs.
Now, in light of the shortage of personnel, we must work together to think of proactive and creative ways to attract a new crop of officers who seek opportunities for professional development and growth. This could mean changing how recruitment is done or looking at salaries and benefits to be competitive.
I want to remind residents that in a "strong city manager" form of government such as ours, the mayor does not direct the day to day operations of the police or have any say on how the agency's resources are spent. However, I am here to support Police Chief Andrew Greenwood and work with him to address retention and recruitment, and address the uptick in crime.
While we work to be proactive in addressing crime, we also have to be careful to not jump to conclusions about who is behind these incidents. While the number of homeless have undoubtedly increased on our streets, there is no evidence that those without shelter are responsible for the vast majority of crime. In fact, the rise in assaults is directly attributable to last year's protests aggravated by people coming into our community to cause a ruckus and the theft increase has much to do with laptop thefts in our cafes. As housing prices soar, income inequality also rises, leaving many people lost and vulnerable. Ask any criminologist and they will tell you that the reasons behind any increase in crime are complex and cannot be boiled down to one simple answer.
Having said that, we absolutely need to assist our police department in retaining officers and identifying more resources to deal with the homeless so that officers are not continuously diverted. Ultimately, we want our residents to feel safe, our police to have the tools to do their jobs well and find appropriate spaces for the homeless that do not pose a risk to residents, businesses and schools while being realistic about our lack of shelter.
I want to commend Berkeley Police for making a number of high profile arrests in response to laptop thefts. We are committed to doing everything we can to make sure that our police continue their great work in keeping our community safe.
Mayor Jesse Arreguin
Community Meeting Regarding Future Housing at North Berkeley BART
Thursday, March 15, 2018, 7-9pm.
Berkeley Adult School Multi-Purpose Room,
1701 San Pablo Ave; Enter from Curtis/Francisco
Please join me, District 1 Councilmember Linda Maio, and BART Director Rebecca Saltzman for a community discussion on the suitability of North Berkeley BART Parking Lot as a site for housing. BART will present on the site's suitability for housing, given the presence of the tunnel underground, and discuss its transit-oriented development policies. This will be followed by questions and discussion.
Please note: No proposal has been introduced at this time to build housing on the parking lot. While a community group has circulated a rendering, it is their conceptual plan and is not being put forward by the City of Berkeley, BART or any housing developer. The aim of this meeting is to discuss the suitability of building housing on the parking lot and not any rezoning of the surrounding neighborhood.
This meeting is intended to be the beginning of a robust community process regarding any development on the North Berkeley BART Parking Lot. We look forward to your ideas as we begin this conversation!
Improving City's Streetlight and Stormwater Programs
Berkeley's infrastructure is rapidly deteriorating due to age and needs to be upgraded. Unfortunately, the city is facing a major deficit in stormwater capital improvements and cannot afford the $208 million in needed repairs. Storm drainage rates have not increased since 1991 and street lighting rates have not been increased since 1982. Our city cannot responsibly go forward without investing in the future safety of critical infrastructure.
To discuss increasing rates, the city will hold a community meeting on Thursday, March 22 at 6:30pm at 1947 Center Street , in the Multi-Purpose Room, located in the basement. Please watch for information in the mail and visit the City's webpage to learn more about streetlight and stormwater needs here . Improving our stormwater system will reduce flooding and limit how much stormwater empties into our creeks and bay.
Berkeley Extends Electric Vehicle Charging Pilot Program
On February 27, the Berkeley City Council voted to extend the Residential Curbside Electric Vehicle Charging Pilot until 2020. The pilot was created in 2014 in response to requests by property owners for conversion of front yard parking spaces into on-site chargers, and a demand for curbside chargers for properties without off-street parking. The pilot prioritizes new on-site charging spaces, and allows up to 25 curbside chargers. Curbside chargers would be available to any vehicle subject to posted street parking restrictions.
The purpose of the pilot is also to expand EV infrastructure in Berkeley. There are some 1,500 electric vehicles in our city, along with 14 charging stations. Level 2 charging ports, and 20 new Level 2 ports will be added at the new Center Street garage this year. Electric vehicles are central to Berkeley's Climate Action Plan since cars are responsible for 56% of our city's greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Under the Climate Action Plan, our city is working to reduce GHGs by 80% by 2050. In addition to the pilot, Berkeley is engaged in many initiatives to expand electric vehicles, including an EV Action Plan to outline further investments in green infrastructure such as chargers on city property, chargers accessible to multi-family properties, and EV car sharing.
Berkeley's Commitment to Protecting Our Undocumented Community
With the recent announcement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan that it will target as many as 1,500 people in Northern California, there has been a great deal of concern about what to do in case ICE comes into Berkeley. Thanks to Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, we were able to notify East Bay residents about potential ICE raids in recent weeks. Despite that, over 200 people were still arrested. Of those, more than half did not have any prior criminal record. This is contrary to ICE's stated purpose that it will focus enforcement on dangerous and violent criminals. Not surprisingly, the recent ICE raids have sown fear, prompted children to miss days of school and have resulted in less trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities.
Berkeley has a long history as a Sanctuary City and is committed to educating everyone about their legal rights in the face of ICE arrests and deportations. We strengthened our sanctuary policy last year to make it clear that no police officer or city employee will communicate with ICE, share information, assist in arrests, or allow access to ICE agents, unless they have a judicial warrant.
We are also working to allocate $50,000 to legal providers to provide representation to anyone arrested or facing deportation, and are in constant communication with the Alameda County Immigration & Legal Education Partnership, which tracks raids, provides access to attorneys and trains ordinary people to monitor ICE activity in order to make sure residents' constitutional rights are not being violated.
No matter who the president is, everyone living in the United States has certain basic rights under the Constitution, including undocumented immigrants.
Click here to learn more about your constitutional rights and available resources.
Contact the Alameda County Immigration Legal & Education Partnership hotline at 510-241-4011 if you see or suspect ICE activity. If you are interested in volunteering your time as an attorney, a legal observer or verifier of ICE activity, please contact Malena Mayorga at firstname.lastname@example.com
The East Bay Sanctuary Covenant and the East Bay Community Law Center offer "know your rights" education and nonprofit legal services.

Winter Shelter Provides a Safe Space for our Homeless
Just before Christmas, the City of Berkeley opened a nightly Winter Shelter at a city-owned warehouse at 1925 Ninth Street. The new shelter provides a safe and warm space for up to 90 individuals each night and is operated by Dorothy Day House. It includes restrooms on-site, meals, secure storage and allows individuals to bring their pets indoors. It has been at capacity almost every night, according to shelter operators. This is due to not only the cold winter season, but the growing number of homeless persons in our city. In addition to 1925 Ninth Street, the city will be opening a second shelter on an as-needed basis during inclement weather.
The expanded Winter Shelter program was funded by the City Council in December as part of a $2 million investment in new shelter and services to address the growing homeless crisis.
The shelter provides clothing donations and bedding to shelter residents. If you would like to help with the clothing drive, please drop by the Winter Shelter at 1925 Ninth Street/University after 6 p.m.
City Council Votes to Expand Residential Parking Program
At the City Council's February 13th meeting, the city adopted amendments to the Residential Preferential Parking (RPP) Program to:
- Expand the number of areas eligible to apply for Residential Preferential Parking
- Allow the program in Mixed-Use Residential zones
- Cap the number of annual permits residents may purchase
- Raise permit fees to eliminate the Program's operating deficit.
- Authorize new meters in West Berkeley to manage commercial parking adjacent to residences in mixed-use areas.
Read the proposed changes to the RPP program here .
City Council Prioritizes Fire Safety
On February 27, the City moved forward with a package of proposals from the Disaster and Fire Safety Commission to address Wildland Urban Interface Fire Safety. The catastrophic fires in the North Bay, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara have highlighted the importance of education, communication, coordination and vegetation management. The Commission's recommendations will:
- Strengthen existing fire safety measures utilized by the City of Berkeley for the safety and well-being of its residents.
- Strengthen existing fire education outreach efforts to make contact with more citizens by using both digital and paper media platforms.
City staff will prioritize those measures that can be implemented immediately and will achieve the most benefit towards fire safety. I want to thank the Commission for its incredible work, particularly my Disaster and Fire Safety Commission appointee Victoria Legg.
Paid Summer Jobs for Berkeley Youth
Berkeley residents between 14 and 25 years of age can apply to be part of YouthWorks, which allows youth to get valuable paid work experience.
YouthWorks places local youth in summer jobs lasting up to 7 weeks, for up to 30 hours per week, earning $12 per hour. The program start in early July. Youth can work in office administration, government, tobacco prevention, recreation, youth development and more.
Applications are due by March 30th and can be submitted to the YouthWorks office on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 2180 Milvia Street. For more information visit the YouthWorks webpage at cityofberkeley.info/youthworks/ .
Berkeley Becomes First City in the Country to Offer Cannabis Sanctuary
On February 13, the Council voted to make Berkeley a Cannabis Sanctuary City, the first in the country. This means that no city department, agency, officer or employee can use city funds to assist in the enforcement of federal laws surrounding cannabis.
The City of Berkeley has had a long commitment to reforming marijuana laws. In 1979, voters passed the Berkeley Marijuana Initiative, which called for the city government to support all efforts towards the reform of marijuana laws. Most recently, in 2016, 83 percent of Berkeley voters and 57 percent of Californians voted in favor of Proposition 64, a statewide ballot initiative to legalize adult recreational cannabis for those over 21 years old.
Berkeley's sanctuary law does not cover other substances considered Title I drugs by the federal government. Nor does it prevent city resources from being used to investigate cannabis-related crimes which are illegal under both federal, state and city laws.
More than half of all drug arrests in 2010 were for marijuana, according to the ACLU, with Blacks nearly four times more likely to be arrested than whites. Today, jurisdictions around the state, including Alameda County, are starting to repeal marijuana-related prison sentences, but the damage has impacted millions of people and will be felt for many more years to come. As Berkeley works to regulate the sales of recreational cannabis, it also understands the importance of enforcing our city's smoking laws and protecting our youth.
Making Berkeley "Age-Friendly"
In 2016, Berkeley was designated an 'Age Friendly City' by the World Health Organization. As a result, the city is creating a plan to address the needs of people aged 50 and over. The Age Friendly Berkeley Project will focus on outdoor spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, and community and health services.
To start, residents aged 50 and over are invited to take an anonymous survey that will help determine community members' biggest concerns about living in Berkeley as they age, and make appropriate changes.
The survey is available online and will be open through April 10.
English: surveymonkey.com/r/BerkAgeFriendly-English
Spanish: surveymonkey.com/r/BerkAgeFriendly-Spanish
Results will be discussed at a community forum in late spring. The final report will be made available for the public in November 2018. Please take a moment to fill out. Your input is important.
Reimagining Adeline Corridor
If you live in South Berkeley, we want to hear from you! From March 10 - 23, the City of Berkeley Planning Department is hosting a Community Open House at the Ed Roberts Campus to show several options for redesign of the Adeline Corridor, roughly from the northern border of the Ashby BART station to the Oakland border. The plans focus on building new housing, protecting affordability, economic opportunity, transportation, public space and land use/community character.
Click here: youtube.com/watch?v=j9DQrLG0ncY to see a brief video of some suggested ideas for Adeline Corridor.
The open house will also address land use and zoning, and will show updated concepts for the right-of-way street design, incorporating feedback that was received in the last public exhibit last year. It will be open to the public anytime from 8am and 6pm on weekdays and 9:30am to 2pm on Saturdays.
City of Berkeley staff will be present from 11am until 2pm every business day to answer your questions. Additionally, there will be extra evening exhibit hours from 6-8pm on Monday, March 12, Thursday, March 15, Tuesday, March 20, and Wednesday March 21. Topic specific workshops will also be held throughout the time period. For more details, visit www.AdelineCorridor.eventbrite.com . RSVP at 510981-7409.
Informational Forum about DACA and TPS
5:30-7:30pm, Friday, March 16
REALM Middle School, 2023 8th Street, Berkeley
There is no question we are living in uncertain and terrifying times for undocumented immigrants. On March 16, the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant will host an educational event for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status holders and undocumented community members. A panel of lawyers and activists will address discuss the state of DACA, TPS and other legal relief, report on national legislation and actions and explain California laws that protect immigrants.
The event will also include a Know Your Rights workshop and support creating Emergency Family Preparedness Plans in case of ICE raids. Attorneys will be available for free legal consultations, and there will be activities for children.

In this section you will find reviews of some of the best gambling books available to buy today. What do we mean by "best"? We mean that the books are written by highly credible authors and that the strategies discussed within them are mathematically legitimate. There are hundreds if not thousands of books on the market that purport to offer advice on gambling that is when examined hokum. Following their advice will not improve your chances of winning at all (in some cases they will actually place your money at greater risk). The books that we will look to review go into detail of how genuine winning players approach different games. Reading these books is the first step on the road to becoming a truly skilled player who can gain an edge over the house.
With this objective in mind we have brought in a long term friend who uses the handle 'Sonny' on the various sites that they post on to compile these reviews. Having conversed with Sonny extensively over more than a decade I can personally attest to this person's skills and knowledge. In fact I would say that they are one of a very small group of people posting online about Advantage Play who's opinion I respect.
A quick biography of Sonny:
Sonny has been an advantage player for over 18 years. He was actively involved both as a student and a mentor on Blackjack message forums by Arnold Snyder, Stanford Wong, Don Schlesinger, Ken Smith and several others. He began as a humble card counter and progressed to beating various side bets, online bonuses, Three Card Poker, Craps, Roulette, and tournament play. He has been fortunate enough to meet and learn from many of his idols and various Hall of Fame members.
Blackjack Attack – Don Schlesinger: Blackjack Attack is one of the most important resources that any player seriously looking to make money counting cards at Blackjack can own. It offers the reader detailed analysis of how different game conditions and rules impact both strategy and profitability. A must have!
Blackjack Autumn – Barry Meadows: Blackjack Autumn is are rare example of an account of professional card counting at Blackjack that strips back on the pretend glamour and gives real insight into the experience. This is a book that every wannabe card counter should read early in their efforts.
Blackjack Blueprint – Rick "Night Train" Blaine: Rick Blaine is one of the true legends amongst those who play Blackjack as a means of making money. Blackjack Blueprint lets you in on some of the secrets to his success at the Blackjack tables without having to play full-time.
Casino Calculus: Numerical Methods for Games of Chance – Jim Peschke: This book looks at the mathematics and programming/computer structures required to analyse and evaluate any game of chance that you may come across in a casino environment. This book is ideal for anyone serious about finding exploitable opportunities to profit from gambling.
Million Dollar Blackjack – Ken Uston: Million Dollar Blackjack is a defining publication that, as with its author, fundamentally changed the game of Blackjack. This book still has a great deal of relevance today as Sonny discusses in this review.

Indiana man ran private child pornography group on messaging app, prosecutors say
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A federal grand jury indicted an Indiana man in a child pornography case.
According to the Justice Department, Bradley Robert Segert, 30, Evansville, was the co-administrator of a private chat group on the Kik Messenger app dedicated to trading and sharing images and videos of child pornography.
In order to join the group, users had to submit child pornography to Segert, prosecutors said. The chat group ran between January 2015 and August 2015. Segert and another administrator from Virginia ran the account, prosecutors said.
Segert is charged with one count of conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of receipt of child pornography.
The indictment alleges that Segert knowingly distributed and received child pornography across state lines.
Prosecutors credited Project Safe Childhood for bringing to the case to light. The federal program, launched in 2006, coordinates local, state and federal resources to locate and prosecute those who use the internet to prey on children.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her. Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the YA scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
I thought that I might not like it as much as others were projecting how enthralling the book was. Divergent is the second book I read under Dystopia and the first series didn't convinced me that I like Dystopia at all. So I hesitated buying this book because of over-rated series that I tried. But I am so glad I did. I was astonished at this book.
After reading this book I felt I was Anton Ego after tasting Ratatouille. It rocked to the core of my being. Let me tell you why.
**spoiler alert**
Do not read if you have not read the book yet.
1. The cover didn't promise a superb story. When I finished the book, I thought the cover didn't justify the entirety of what it's covering. So, there was a surprised element.
2. The novel was written in present tense, which is the first for me. I felt I was the one in it. You know how effective was it for me? Last night, sleep evaded me when I stopped reading it on page 378, which was on chapter 29. So when I forced myself to sleep, I had my mind swirling to the simulation scenes and jolted awake in the wee hours, short of breath. I stared at the darkness of my room, panicked at the thought that someone would jumped at me. Heard the banging on our front door and my mind was thinking why our dogs were not barking? I thought they must have shot the dogs! (Eventually, I realized that the banging was just from the car doors. And the dogs weren't barking because no one was forcing their way to me. Heck! That was scary and paranoiac.)
3. Although most of the chapters were for how Tris was transformed from Abnegation to Dauntless, I enjoyed it. It was as if I was watching G.I. Jane with her training. The thrill was there, I was in the rollercoaster of a ride. I was imagining myself jumping to and from the train
which I think I can do since the train I normally ride on was so slow anyway, but because the cars are sealed off and I am not a dare-devil type, I won't try.
4. Mostly, I found the romance in a YA corny, but in here, it just fit right. And I think I was envious of Tris, he got the main man, the gorgeous hunk! (ikaw na!). But what's the big deal on a two-years gap relationship? It's not even near the May-December love affair.
5. The world Veronica Roth created in this story, I can envision (in detail) in my mind. The factions were cleverly thought, the plot of revolution and how it was executed was mind blowing it put me on the edge of the seat. I was tensioned when everything turned bad and was exasperated every time someone attempted to lure me out from reading.
6. I was in love with my mom, after reading the part where Tris' mom rescued her. I looked her way while she was ironing my clothes and me reading cozily on the sofa. (Some kind of a daughter I am, huh?). But this made me realized how a mother sacrificed for their children.
7. And many more….I can't explain how I love this book. I hated Peter, Eric and Jeannine. I like the values I get from this book. I was relating it to the values my parents taught me, which was quite similar. Think of others before yourself, but we can be out of the box too. So I guess I am Divergent too. (maki-ride ang eh, ha ha). And there were wise lines to go by too. Like "I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different."
~Highlights for me~
- Tris in her aptitude test.
- Tris to be the first to jump off the roof.
- Tris climbing the Ferris wheel followed by Four, eventually giving instructions to defeat Eric's team and winning some of Dauntless-born initiates' regard.
- Tris standing up for Al and replacing him in the target area, to prove Eric wrong.
- Tris being almost thrown in the chasm by Peter, Drew and Al (you, ***** traitor) and being rescued by almost dementedly angry Four.
- Tris being in Four's fear simulation. **kilig** and so many dear moments after that...
- And waking up with others like remote controlled robot~ it was the start of the kick-ass action pack.
But I felt it wasn't finished yet though as I flipped the pages I found out it was! How can you this to me, Veronica Roth? **whimpers** It was not the end yet...c'mon, where's the second boooook????
I only gave 2 books with 6 stars so far. And this is the 3rd book i give it.

RIVERSIDE, Mo. – Park Hill South knows how to reach the district championship stage. To forge a coveted return to the playoffs, the Panthers needed to continue mastery of their main rival this year.
In the Class 4 District 16 championship match, Park Hill South survived a stern test from Park Hill to earn a 28-26, 25-22 sweep Wednesday, Oct. 19 at Park Hill South High School. The Panthers' seniors were a part of a fourth straight district finalist, extending the program's run to at least 10 straight.
However, this marks the first chance for most of the roster to experience a championship.
"You could tell our seniors played a little tight, and I give a lot of credit to Park Hill for taking us out of system," Park Hill South coach Karen McConnell said. "I'm glad that we could stay composed enough that we could make it through this night."
Park Hill South senior Andi Elley was the only player to feature in the Panthers' state championship match loss back in 2013. She's one of five seniors, along with outside hitter Bri Bartosh, setter Allison Sadler and defensive specialists Emily Day and Sarah Knight, who have helped continue the Panthers' tradition.
Park Hill has never beaten Park Hill South in the nearly 20 years of the rivalry.
Playing in the first district championship match in more than a decade, Park Hill battled back from a double-digit deficit in the opening set and eventually tied the score at 24-24 and again at 26 moments later.
Park Hill South scored the final two points in front of a large, partisan crowd representing both teams.
"We know they're always a great competition, and they always seem to play super great when we're playing them," said Day, who had one of five service aces for the Panthers. "They're definitely a team not to be reckoned with."
Park Hill South won the regular season meeting between the two teams, which also ended up being a tight sweep.
The rematch proved no different, but Park Hill South again held a lead in the second set and appeared poised to pull away. Instead, Park Hill came back to tie the score 12-12 with five blocks – two apiece for sophomore Rachel Pella and Kai Welsh – helping to keep the match tight.
Park Hill then took a needed lead at 17-14 before Park Hill South rallied behind Elley (team-highs of 12 kills and 18 digs) and junior Annika Welty (nine kills). Sadler finished with 23 assists and 13 digs – one of four players in double figures.
Bartosh (14) and Knight (13) also posted double digits in digs.
Park Hill coach Lindsey Hood and her players gathered in the adjacent gym to have an emotional end of their season. The Trojans went 20-13-3, including a run to the championship of the Platte County Invitational, and showed off a balance of talented seniors (Tyah Barnett and Chelsea Edwards) along with promising youth.
Pella recorded a team-high 10 kills in the loss, while Welsh added two aces. Edwards recorded 12 digs in her final match, while junior Madison Michaelis led the Trojans with 12.
"I just couldn't be prouder of the girls," Hood said. "They've had an amazing season and it's hard to be too upset when we played that well."
Park Hill South (30-1-1) advances to play Lee's Summit (10-20-1) – the surprise winner of District 13 -- in a sectional at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 in Liberty, Mo. The winner advances to the quarterfinal scheduled for 6 p.m. against either St. Teresa's Academy (23-6-1) or Liberty (18-9-3).
This season, Park Hill South went 3-0 against the three other sectional qualifiers – 2-0 vs. Liberty and 1-0 vs. Lee's Summit. The Panthers did not play St. Teresa's Academy, which beat them in last year's District 15 final.
"Coming up to sectionals now, we're really excited, and hopefully, we have two more matches in us and we can go to state," Day said. "It was probably one of our better matches as a unit, and we're super excited to see what the future holds."
Park Hill South 2, Oak Park 0
Earlier in the night, the Panthers advanced to their 10th straight district final with a 25-12, 25-16 sweep.
Park Hill South totaled 31 kills in the quick match – nine for Welty and from Bartosh. The Panthers were dominant in both sets and weren't challenged.
"I thought our kids played really well against Oak Park," McConnell said. "They came out with a high level of intensity that we had talked about in practice the other day so we set the tone there and I think it really paid off."
Park Hill 2, Staley 0
The Trojans posted a fourth win on the season over the Falcons in their semifinal played earlier in the night.
Pella ended up with eight of Park Hill's 21 kills, and the Trojans pulled away after a 16-16 tie in the second set for a 25-19, 25-23. The emotional win sent them into a coveted district final spot for the rematch with Park Hill South.
Kayla Huffman, Park Hill's junior setter, had three service aces and 15 assist, while Welsh, Pella and sophomore Honor Foutch recorded two blocks apiece.

I'm experimenting this year with using LibGuides deliver teaching materials and activities, instead of printing handouts. This year we've rolled out our single Library Search (Primo) which makes searching a lot easier, so my rather detailed and prescriptive handouts from last year were obsolete.
We've taken to LibGuides quite enthusiastically here, so we have a range of subject Library Guides (as we're calling them), along with more specialist guides relating to for example, government publications or referencing.
First approach
I started trying to use LibGuides more interactively last year, using the comments facility on boxes to get feedback from activities. This session was to support second year students in dissertation preparation and was the last in a series of three sessions I ran. I set up a page focussing on evaluating web sites, containing evaluation criteria and links to sites I wanted students to look at and asked them to put their thoughts in the comments boxes. It worked surprisingly well and was a great way to get feedback from a group of over 60 students. There was the odd person posting flippant comments, but it actually made it more entertaining!
What worked
- This was a fun session to run. They are tried and tested examples which I know will provoke a reaction.
- It was good to be able to get a whole group of 60 + interacting with each other, both by working in small groups and feeding back on the LibGuide and thus interacting across the group.
- I was quite happy with how the students evaluated the sources and they surprised me with their view on the bias of the BBC!
What didn't work
- For once I have to say I was pretty happy with how the session went, although it didn't go quite as well this year (see below).
- I did have some issues with students posting some borderline offensive comments anonymously about another student in the room. I chose not to moderate comments and this would have slowed down the 'real time' interaction, so this is one of the potential hazards. I'll give stronger advice next time ensuring comments are appropriate. Having a colleague on hand to delete any offensive comments would be handy.
- The second time I tried this it didn't work quite as well. Unfortunately the lecturer wasn't there to assist in the session and it's amazing how different the level of engagement is when they aren't there. Could be the nature of a different group but who knows!
Second approach
This year I tried using LibGuides in a different way – to replace the usual handouts and to provide a focus for activities during the session. I was teaching Stage 1 Undergraduate library induction sessions and I created a separate LibGuide for each subject session I was running. The guides were private, which meant the guide could only be accessed by a direct link.
I introduced the guide which started with a question for students to rate their information skills. As I went through my presentations/demonstrations, I guided students through the sections of the guide for the hands-on activities. The activities included links to resources and questions to answer using those resources.
I designed the questions in order to ensure students learned specific skills eg how to find the shelfmark for a book, how to access an e-book, but also to try to get them thinking about the resources. For example, I'd had feedback from lecturers that students didn't know the difference between a textbook and other types of book that present research/opinion etc, so I got students to read the descriptions of the books to find this out, which also hopefully teaches them how to find out information about the resources at the same time.
What worked
- The initial question about rating their information skills was interesting. Very few rated themselves as 'brilliant' or 'abysmal', with the results split between the middle two responses of 'Pretty good' or 'I get by'. Surprisingly, 'I get by' had the edge, suggesting the Google Generation isn't overly confident as we often assume (ok this is just a brief indicator!).
- It was useful to be able to refer to the responses to questions as we went through the session. It provided some way of testing student learning.
- The questions were created using LibGuides 'poll' tool, which means that it doesn't give answers. This works well for use during a session as you can just present the responses and give the answers verbally. This wouldn't work so well if you wanted to use this more as a standalone online tutorial.
- I saved a few trees by not having any handouts!
- Student feedback was pretty positive to the sessions, while I appreciate the limitations of feedback at the end of a session, no-one said they felt they needed a handout and most were happy with the session. (I actually do feedback on short paper slips rather than online strangely!)
- I could update the guides immediately if I needed to, enabling me to respond to feedback quickly.
What didn't work
- For the first session I had also added a WallWisher widget to the guide encouraging students to share their usual/favourite information sources. This didn't work too well in the first sessions – a couple of students used the wall to say 'hi', but I had some feedback to say they wanted 'less of the stickies', so I decided to drop it for now. I know colleagues have had more success with this, so perhaps I need to persevere.
- I overestimated the students' abilities to move back and forwards between browser windows – they needed to keep the LibGuide in one window while exploring resources.
- Few students bookmarked the LibGuide so I had to leave the address up on a flipchart.
- There was some confusion between the LibGuide I was using for the session and the subject Library Guide I was asking them to explore.
- I would have preferred the sessions to be more interactive. Students tended to work individually, interacting with the screen despite being asked to work together.
Thoughts for the future
I think I'll keep trying this approach for working with large groups and it works particularly well for the evaluation sessions. I don't think I'll go back to printed handouts as they just aren't needed anymore. I'll carry on using LibGuides as the basis for the sessions but I want to work on getting more interaction going between the students and between myself and the students. As I become more familiar working with undergraduates I'm sure that will happen.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has tried similar things – what worked / didn't work for you?

Review of Angelica Nail Colour | In ElfinFriday, February 10, 2017
Hello everyone, how are we all dealing with the weather? I love this time of year, the change in weather which tells me that summer is on its way.
The product that I am reviewing today is the first of two products that I received in the goody bag from an event which I was lucky enough to attend a while ago.
The two nail polishes are from the brand Angelica Nail Colour. What made me try this product first was that this brand had spent time personalising the packet that they came in and also the wrapping was pink, so I just couldn't resist!
|Angelica Nail Colour*
The colour that I am reviewing today is called Elfin*. Originally I thought that this polish was going to come out as more of a mushroom shade, so I was slightly disappointed at first as I felt that it was more of a lilac brown shade, but the colour did grown on me. Now I think that this is a really good transition colour from summer into autumn.
|Elfin Nail Polish* from Angelica Nail Colour
What I really like about this polish is the formulation, once it dried it had a high shine finish which I thought looked very sleek and I think this would finish off an outfit nicely. Though what impressed me most about this nail polish was that it was really easy to paint onto the nails, it was not gloopy and dried fairly quickly. If I wanted to be lazy, I am sure that one coat would be enough though two coats created a deeper colour.
|Elfin Nail Polish* From Angelica Nail Colour
Another factor that really impressed me about this product is that it was had great staying power, after I applied it I did not need to touch it up for just under a week which I thought was a miracle! Usually I am awful with nail varnishes and once they start to chip I peel the whole lot off, but this just didn't seem to chip!
Over all I was really impressed with this product and I would definitely buy from this range in the future. I am also very excited to try the other colour that they sent me.
Have you tried any products from this company before? If so what did you think?

Submitted by Steve Eschbach, President, Transworld Business Advisors of Naperville & CCC Board Member
I have long been an advocate that everyone should never stop networking. This is a common mantra from the many I meet in the various career advancement, job search and, now for me, business development networking events I have attended. While most will agree that networking should never stop, very few talk about when it should start.
For my children – all 3 of them – it began a generation ago. Shortly after entering this world in the late 1980s/early 1990s, they were all placed in nurseries at Hartford (Connecticut) Hospital, thus, their first networking meetings were within hours of their birth. Looking through the hospital nursery window at the dozen or more babies in their basinets, some of them had much to say but we couldn't tell if the others were listening (but I assume so). My wife tells me that this may be a thing of the past as she has heard that hospitals will soon abandon this networking event in favor of placing newborns with their mothers in their hospital rooms. That will be a mistake.
Fast forward, the then videotape and my oldest son, in his mid-20s, sent his resume to an engineering college student he graduated with at the University of Connecticut (UConn) at a local (Connecticut) medical device company for his first job after achieving his Bachelor of Science Degree in Bio-Medical Engineering. The first and second reach-outs yielded no response. But, the third time he sent his credentials her way, he landed an intern position (remember, three times is a charm). In six months, that intern position turned into a permanent position. Since then (2015), he received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from UConn and has now advanced to a senior engineering leadership role at that company. So, remember, never stop networking, but, more importantly, it is never too early to start networking.

Sometimes you get lucky.
Coupeville has a history of losing great athletes in their prime thanks to family moves or other matters, from Kwamane Bowens and Jessica Riddle to Joe Whitney.
But, once in awhile, Cow Town gets to wave hello and not goodbye, hitting the jackpot when Sarah, Amy and Beth Mouw suddenly showed up, or when Jordan Ford, Amanda Allmer or Linda Cheshier popped in late in their prep careers.
The single biggest payoff, though, might have come when Chris Smith and Charlotte Young moved to Whidbey in 2014.
Both are coaches, and have gone on to work with Central Whidbey athletes, Charlotte on the little league softball diamond and Chris in high school volleyball, basketball and baseball.
But it was the fact they brought their three children, CJ, Hunter, and Scout, which really sealed the deal.
In one fell swoop, Coupeville athletics got a major injection of talent, hard work and class, and it's been a sweet ride for local fans ever since.
While Scout is already making a name for herself, playing varsity volleyball, basketball and softball last year as a CHS sophomore, her career highlights are still being crafted.
Today, we gather to honor her older brothers, who, with their days as Wolf athletes having come to a close, gain entry into the Coupeville Sports Hall o' Fame.
After this, they'll sit up at the top of the blog, under the Legends tab, where they join other stellar Wolf brother combos such as James and Ian Smith (no relation) and Kyle and Tyler King.
With CJ and Hunter, there hasn't been much doubt since day one that they would be entering these hallowed digital hallways.
They were transcendent stars from the moment they pulled on the Wolf uniform for the first time, and they exited the same way they entered, pulling off remarkable achievements while showing the composure of a Zen master.
CJ was the first to hit, joining the CHS basketball team midway through his sophomore year.
One moment there was a newcomer in street clothes on the bench, intently watching the floor like a hawk while the stands buzzed about his possible identity. The next, he was part of the fabric of Wolf Nation.
He was always a strong basketball player, quick and committed and always about team, but he also soared on the football field, a two-way terror who caught passes and broke them up with equal skill.
It was the baseball diamond where CJ wrote the most impressive chapter of his Wolf career, however.
We had him for three full seasons in his favorite sport, and Captain Cool was the go-to guy when you needed a win, an out or a strike.
Hand him the ball, as the Wolves did when they played for their first league title in 25 years in 2016, and CJ was money in the bank.
Try to scan his face at any one moment when he was on the diamond, and it was virtually impossible to know if he was 10 runs up or trailing 1-0. There was no bend in the steel in his spine, no way to ruffle him or make him sweat.
CJ had multiple games where he soared, but the title-clincher will live on in memory forever … and in the words of this story:
Hunter was in the starting lineup that day, as well, notching the first of his two league titles (he would pull his own CJ-style senior moment in 2018, pitching the Wolves past Chimacum).
It was part of maybe the most-consistent four-year run I have seen any Coupeville athlete put together.
There's a reason the middle child landed at #1 among male athletes when I picked the best I've covered in the six-year run of Coupeville Sports.
Other than a couple of times when injuries forced him to the sidelines, Hunter was in the lineup and making plays every dang day he had in a Wolf uniform.
On the football field, he torched foes, hauling in passes and turning them into touchdown romps, then popping right back out to pick off a rival QB on the next set of downs.
By the time he was finished, even missing the final five games of his senior year after having his body twisted in 23 different directions while being gang-tackled at Vashon, Hunter finished with seven CHS football records, most of any Wolf gridiron star.
Put him on a basketball court, pop a ball in his hand, pray his sometimes-balky back wouldn't conspire against him, and he was old-school magic in a new-school world.
Hunter finished #12 all-time on the Wolf boys hoops scoring list, and would have gone higher if not for his back, and his own humility, as he was never one to run the score up.
There were times, numerous times, when he curtailed his own scoring to feed a hot teammate.
If Ethan Spark was feeling it from three-point land, or Wiley Hesselgrave was poppin' hanging jumpers, Hunter made sure they had the ball.
When I say he was old-school, like his siblings, I mean it.
Hunter played, always, like someone who grew up with coaches for parents, and, when the legends of Wolf basketball came back to the CHS gym for last year's 101-year anniversary, you could see (and hear) their appreciation for how he played the game.
Baseball capped his career, as he smacked hits left and right, fired strikes, won a league MVP, helped lead two title-winning teams and, even the one day he got (somewhat unfairly) tossed by an ump, played the game with — and stop me if you've heard this before — class above all else.
That is the defining trait of CJ, Hunter, Scout, Chris, and Charlotte – class.
All five have a competitive fire that rages unabated, all approach each season with a glint in their eyes and a (slight) smile on their lips.
Talent flows through their veins, yes, but without class, talent means little.
As fans, we may appreciate talent, but we respect class. And my respect for their family is off the charts.

We met in Atlanta
A cool Friday night in mid-November Hilary and Adam were out celebrating with friends, little did they know they would soon have another reason to celebrate that early winter evening. Hilary with a group of girlfriends, Adam with Andrew and Lowery. The two groups would combine forces and Adam and Hilary would meet for the first time. The lovebirds were taken to each other and only spoke to one another for the rest of the evening. Their first date at St. Cecilia followed soon there after. They dated for almost three years until that special late summer day in Athens.

You have probably seen or read about the so called color blind T-shirts, which are not funny. They are basically profane t-shirts that color blind people cannot read. Appalling. There are other color blind T-shirts from companies such as zazzle that are amusing. In reality growing up color blind whether man or women, leads to many challenges. Clothing, stop-lights are just a few obstacles that those who can't see in all spectrums have to overcome.
Colour blindness affects men more than women. 1 in 12 men have some form of color blindness and 1 in 200 women in the world. It is a common, not the unusual. In celebration of ridding the world of all types of color blindness, today we are featuring Color Blind works of decor or art.
1.) This Color Blind clock can be found on uncommon goods
2.) Color Blind artwork can be made reusing your old Ishihara test or from artists such as Roy Nachum. You can also find vintage color blind tests which can be frame on sites such as Etsy.
3.) These color blind pillows were seen on Etsy. Nika Grace Designs)
4.) We love this Color Blind Window. You can utilize the same concept in smaller spaces.
5.) Who says that color blind nails are not part of any decor!
There are two lenses that have been developed for people with color blindness: Enchroma is a lenses that has been developed for use by the color blind.,

We will meet at the Major Taylor Velodrome, home of the Marian University Cycling Team. This is an excellent opportunity to have fun with action photography at one of the nation's few operating velodromes, shooting bicycle racing at a 333-meter track with 28-degree banked turns. The velodrome is at 3649 Cold Spring Rd.
Please arrive at 6:30 p.m. to have a brief safety discussion, as well as to gain access to the infield. The velodrome calendar shows the event starting at 7:00 p.m. Karl Zemlin will take notes during the safety briefing so anyone who shows up late can be informed. However, late arrival may preclude you from shooting from the infield. Tripods and monopods shouldn't be an issue, but do not use flash.

D'oh! Leave it to our prime minister to keep us laughing. (And crying, but that's another story.)
During his recent non-sensical cross-country town-hall tour, Justin Trudeau unleashed one gaffe after another proving he might have earned his 'hair model' moniker when he campaigned to be the leader of Canada.
There were so many PR malfunctions to keep track of but Toronto Sun's Editor-In-Chief Adrienne Batra and National Column Editor and journalist Anthony Furey took notes and, in the video above, list Trudeau's biggest speech malfunctions of recent days.
From insulting a veteran to creating a new word that even millennials would find 'unwoke,' all we have to say is: Keep these town halls on the road.

The Second Avenue Dance Company, a group from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, presents works both by students and by professional guest choreographers. Under the direction of Lawrence Rhodes and Clarice Marshall, it made a good impression Thursday night at the school's theater when it dedicated its performance to the memory of Robert Joffrey. Two student choreographers acquitted themselves professionally and three professionals offered workmanlike, although seldom memorable, creations.
Reginald Wilson, a student, choreographed ''Geerewol,'' a solo to recorded Pygmy music in which he rose from a crouch to move assertively. He thereby built his dance to an effective climax and held attention with his stage presence.
Kristen Miller, another student choreographer, took the title of her ''Litost'' from a Czech word that, according to the novelist Milan Kundera, can designate ''a feeling as infinite as an open accordion.'' A dance of constantly changing moods for Jennifer Adams, Leti Denny-Brown, Cristina Ehrlich, Karen Fischer, Jean Ross, Thomas Graham and Mr. Wilson, ''Litost'' set clusters of dancers moving simultaneously in different ways to suggest attraction, playfulness, separation and reconciliation. If the choreography occasionally looked splintered, at no time did this dance to music by Terry Riley look dull.
Two guest choreographers were in a lighthearted mood. David Gordon's new ''Four Stories'' was based on gossipy narratives - written by Mr. Gordon and read by Meg Sewell -that wittily described labyrinthine love affairs. Indeed, the stories were funnier than the choreography, which required 10 dancers to jostle one another and pair off to jaunty music by Paul Bowles. What made ''Four Stories'' successful was its overall spirit of nuttiness.
The same thing could be said about Mark Morris's ''My Party,'' in which four couples pranced to music by Jean Francaix. At times, men danced with men and women with women. But no one displayed any prejudices on that matter and everyone got along pleasantly.
Ohad Naharin made 10 dancers stagger and run in contrapuntal patterns in the New York premiere of ''Chameleon Dances (6-12),'' to music by John Hassell. Everything was done with great intensity, yet the unremitting solemnity made the choreography seem pretentious.

Are you new here?
We all know how intimidating being the new person can be, so allow us to ease your mind and answer some questions...
What type of church is Osceola community church?
We are a church reaching out to Osceola, Wisconsin, and the St. Croix Valley with God's love.
When & Where are the services?
During the summer we have 1 service that meet at 10 AM on Sunday mornings. Our services are also live streamed on our Facebook page. During the summer months, we have only one service on Sundays. We also have a Wednesday night service for our youth grades 3 through 12th that starts at 6 PM.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code to attend Osceola Community Church. Some dress up, some dress down. You are free to come just as you are, so come in comfort.
What happens when I arrive?
When you arrive at OCC, you'll be greeted by a friendly smile from one of our greeters. There will be some refreshments for you to enjoy. You can check your children into our Children's Ministry program or Nursery. There will be a 5 minute countdown to let you know service is about to start, so you can get a great seat before service begins.
What is service like?
We always start our services with a time of passionate praise and worship. Once worship is over, we share a few announcements about what's happening at OCC through video and live communication. We then dismiss our children to go to their respective classes and go into our weekend message. As we are growing, our message is streamed via video. Our services close with receiving the offering and a time to respond to God through worship and prayer.
What about my kids?
Our Children's Ministry provides an amazing weekend experience at each service. Visit the check-in station, where our team will register your children and give them a name badge with a parent tag. During check-in time, you can let our team know about any special allergies or special needs. If we need to contact you during the service, your parent number will be displayed on the screens to the left and right of the stage. At the end of service, simply go to your child's classroom and pick up your child.
How can I connect with others?
The best way to connect is through one of our Growth Groups. Growth Groups meet once a week at various times and locations. Check out the website or info booth for more information about our Growth Groups. You can also mingle after service and chat with others who are in our commons area. Grab a bite to eat, a cup of coffee, and enjoy a great conversation.

In this post, we talk about what the possible causes are if your headlights don't work, or don't work properly. This article will deal primarily with halogen headlights, the most common type in use on auto-mobiles today. Driving with damaged, broken or malfunctioning headlights is dangerous. Contact us at Hansma Automotive if you have malfunctioning headlights or require any other type of car repair.
Call or Text: 519-748-5533
Headlights Don't Work
Generally speaking, if both your headlights don't work it is most likely that you have an electrical problem. However, if only one headlight is out, it is probably a failed bulb.
Damaged Bulb Needs Replacing
Most modern vehicles use halogen bulbs which have a thin tungsten filament, or fine wire, inside the bulb's protective casing. This wire will eventually burn out and need replacing. The average motorist can expect a bulb to last somewhere between 500 and 2000 hours of night driving. This means that you can expect to have to replace bulbs about every 5 years of your cars life. If you drive frequently at night, or if you travel particularly bumpy roads like gravel side-roads, the bulbs may wear out more quickly. Replacing a bulb is not particularly difficult but some may find it intimidating. Call us at Hansma if you are unsure how to do this. Check this link showing how to change a bulb.
"Hansma Automotive provides exceptional customer service every time. They communicate in a clear and friendly manner and then deliver great technical service." - John.
A Blown Fuse
Cars, like houses, use fuses to protect their electrical circuits. A fuse is simply a weak point in a circuit that is designed to blow if the vehicle is drawing too much electrical charge. In this case, the relatively inexpensive fuse then blows, thus protecting costlier items in the circuit, such as your headlight. If the fuse is blown then you should replace it. If you have replaced both the fuse and the headlight bulb and the light still does not come on, you may have a costlier electrical problem. Check out this link demonstrating how to change a blown fuse.
Defective High Beam Relay Switch
If your high beams don't work but your low beams do, then the problem may lie with a defective high beam relay switch. The relay switch is the component that allows you to switch from low beams to high beams. If it does not work, your headlights will remain stuck in one position. It could be that the problem lies in the high beam to low beam switch on your steering column. Our professional automotive technicians can quickly determine if this is your problem.
Faulty Or Damaged Wiring
There are many wires in a modern vehicle and sometimes wires can be broken, corroded, poorly connected or otherwise damaged. A wire in this condition will be unable to transmit the electrical power effectively to your headlights. If your lights flicker often, this may be a clue that leads to a faulty connection. Unless you are competent with electrical systems, it is best to leave electrical problems to the professionals.
Our Professional Approach
The lives of you and your loved ones are important to us, so don't take any chances with your headlights. Take advantage of our professional approach and contact us immediately if you have any concerns regarding your lighting system. Don't hesitate to ask us about our free shuttle service. We are located at 88 Shoemaker Street in Kitchener and can usually repair your vehicle in a few hours or less.

MEF recognizes new Accedian SkyLIGHT DataHUB IQ solution for excellence and innovation in analytics for real-time service performance assurance
Los Angeles, California – October 31, 2018 – Accedian, the end-to-end network performance experts, announced today that its SkyLIGHT DataHUB IQ analytics solution has won the Service Analytics Award at this year's MEF Awards. The winners were announced on October 30 at an awards ceremony in Los Angeles, California, during the annual MEF18 global networking event.
The Service Analytics Award- is awarded by the MEF to the analytics solution that has demonstrated excellence and innovation to intelligently automate the configuration and allocation of network resources in real-time, and to proactively deliver service assurance for demanding applications in complex networking environments.
The new SkyLIGHT DataHUB IQ service analytics solution provides a unified view of the behaviour and performance of a network, the applications and services running on it, and also the quality of service that customers are experiencing.
DataHUB IQ combines and correlates highly granular active and passive monitoring metrics from multiple sources across the network. It uses machine learning to detect anomalies from baseline performance, in order to provide insight into network behaviour and issues, and to predict future network issues before they occur.
"The move towards closed-loop network automation and the increase of cloud-native network functions has created a pressing need among service providers for new analytics-based monitoring software that can provide full visibility of service availability and performance across physical and virtual networks – in real time and in context," said Accedian CEO Patrick Ostiguy. "Our new Accedian SkyLIGHT DataHUB IQ platform is a single unified solution with which network and IT operations teams can obtain accurate and actionable insight into their network and also the services running over it."
"We're delighted to receive this award from the MEF, which recognises the value and performance benefits of SkyLIGHT DataHUB IQ in enabling service providers to proactively monitor network performance, service quality and user experience: and to also predict, identify and prevent issues across their network before they occur," Ostiguy continued.
SkyLIGHT DataHUB IQ is available today and trials of the product are already underway globally.

When I first started this project, I felt like a detective, searching for clues and trying to follow leads. I was trying to find responses to child sexual abuse (CSA) that were or attempted to be supportive and even--possibly--transformative. However, over the last year of collecting stories, I have realized that many of these stories can only be found in the collecting, not always in the searching.
Part of this project is about documenting collective responses to CSA, but another part of it is simply opening up the conversation about CSA, period; opening up and holding space to talk about CSA. For many storytellers, this is the first time they are telling their stories as adults. Many of them are processing their own stories in their telling. it is an honor to get to bear witness to this process, as many storytellers haven't revisited their experiences at all. For many people this project is one of the only places in their lives that they can talk about CSA.
I hear from storytellers over and over again, "I don't think my story is what you're looking for" or "there's nothing really to tell in my story," but once we sit down to record, their stories are exactly what LBP is looking for.
In To Be Brave, the storyteller initially framed their story as simply about their journey to heal as a survivor, but when we began recording, their story ended up revealing many different responses to CSA. I often think about the way that their partner and community was able to support and hold them in ways that deepened relationships and belonging. I think about the way that their sister in the story was willing to check-in with their mother and the ways that other survivors' bravery sparked their own--a never-ending magnificent response to violence and abuse. One of my favorite moments in To Be Brave, is in Part 2 and the small response by their boss' family and therapist. I love the complexity expressed by the storyteller in To Be Brave, and the desire to hold the humanity of everyone, including themselves, even in hard moments.
In Standing Her Ground, there is a dramatic response to CSA by the storyteller's teenage sister hiding them in a closet and successfully preventing more abuse from their abuser. It is an unexpected and formative moment that the storyteller shares they will never forget. I love that this story is a story about a survivor protecting another survivor--and children and youth trying to create their own safety.
However, I am also finding that another part of this project is the revealing of the many conditions that allow for child sexual abuse to happen and continue. This is an important part of building transformative community responses to child sexual abuse: understanding how CSA happens and is enabled and perpetuated by conditions such as poverty, white supremacy, isolation, silence, misogyny, capitalism, ableism and so much more. The stories, Standing Her Ground and What Was Lost, illustrate many of these conditions. In What Was Lost, the storyteller explains how immigration, language barriers and poverty were huge factors to their abuse and how long it continued. In Standing Her Ground, we hear how isolation, oppressive gender roles, white supremacy and immigration shaped the abuse they experienced, as well. In Ending the Secrecy, the storyteller talks about how being a person of color informed why they didn't think of calling the police as an option.
If we are serious about ending CSA, then we have to commit to it, rather than hoping that someone else, somewhere else will do it. We have to understand how child sexual abuse is connected to and used by systems of oppression. We have to understand how CSA is connected to other forms of violence and abuse. We have to listen to those who are most impacted by CSA and what would have helped them or supported them. We need to learn about the vast diversity of CSA experiences, beyond the sensationalized ones we are sold, and actively build our own capacities to be able to hold the complexity and contradictions within those experiences. We need to create new shared language that can clearly describe and convey what we mean. We can absolutely end child sexual abuse--of that, i am sure--but it will require that we commit to and invest in the long-term work it will take from us, our families, intimate networks and communities.

This week's 'Til Monday image is a photo of my childhood dollhouse. Watching my children play with it over the holiday weekend reminded me of the hours spent in front of it, setting and resetting the little rooms. This must be where my passion for furniture and design began. The dollhouse may be in dire need of repair and the furniture may need updating but the experience of it remains the same for my children and myself. I am grateful for all I have now and all I had then.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
