Murdered Gay Teen's Teacher "Relates To" His Killer
HBO's important (and, at times, shocking) documentary, Valentine Road, detailing the murder of 15-year old California teen Larry King at the hands of his 14-year old classmate, debuted on Monday night. One of the most jaw dropping scenes (of many) included an interview with Larry's seventh grade teacher Shirley Brown. In the interview, Shirley puts on display the kind of anti-gay bias that may have contributed to the school's deadly homophobic culture.
"I do believe in a heaven and a hell, and I do believe Larry honestly did not have a clue, honestly, the consequences of his actions. I relate to Brandon because I could see my own self being in that very same position. I don't know if I would have taken a gun, but a good, swift kick in the butt might work really well," Shirley says before laughing.
Shirley then goes on to call the memorial service held for her 15-year old student a "gay pride" event with an obvious air of disgust.
(Clip and source: Gawker)
And you people think SHE is a bigot? While I don't condone what she said, I have very similar beliefs that I'm sure she holds as well. Am I a bigot? No, but you guys are. You judge her on an article that is more than likely twisted against her in every way possible. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
Giacamo, I am not sure you understand the definition of "condone." Your post does indeed condone her bigoted behavior. And I did not judge her on an article. I formed an opinion of her based on a video of words that she spoke while looking into a camera. Before you suggest I be ashamed of myself, realize that you are defending a woman who laughed about how a dead kid needed a kick in the butt. She did not go to his parents when she admittedly knew he was in danger. She did not try to help him. She showed him no kindness. And in her own words, she could see herself in the position of the killer. Do you have kids? Do you want them taught by a woman who, if she disagreed with them, could see herself as their murderer?? Is this what Jesus taught?
A kid is dead. Another is in prison for 21 years. This woman could have made a positive difference for both of them. Instead, she contributed to the environment that destroyed these children.
This is a very sad reminder regarding where we are as a society. No on through out the entire period of evolution ever stopped dinosaurs developing into lizards, for apes to developer into what we are today, or for society to evolve so far as to have more transient sexuality and gender.
What occurs naturally cannot be defined as wrong because it has occurred naturally. Further if those people are happy and can fit into society then there is also not a problem. The only prevention of that progression is fear:
- Fear of a God
- Fear of society
- Fear of the law
Fear is not what should define humanity or cause it to take actions such as murder for the sake of some other humans preference on sexuality or indeed their own gender. Plato was a big gay and so were loads of Greeks, Romans... and that is just because they have documented history.
Sexuality is historic and so i gender. We now live in an age were we can pick our sex. I fear the reasons some people choose to change their physical sex, as being for the wrong reasons. However I am interested in development and potential.
What does one achieve by limiting themselves in the confines of society.
To me this woman is not human, she is a terrible "product" of humanity.
Well, it's good she's Christian and she believes she's going to be accountable to her creator because she's going to have some serious explaining to do that she held this child's life as inconsequential and of no value! I do recall the Bible saying something about whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do unto me. If he hadn't been shot she would have kicked him in the butt? Seriously you psychotic bitch????? A child is dead and you could have prevented it and you're upset because you think someone organized a gay pride event in front of your school? Hello!!!! A child is dead! A child who had come to you for help and you ignored!! SMH in disgust :-(
Wait, what? What a good teacher would have done is educated the lads who were being outwardly homophobic, not turned a blind eye / supported them. She should've gone to the principal that day and expressed her concern for the student, but not blamed the victim! This boggles the mind. She herself is allowing such hate crime to happen, practically creating a stamp of approval on Larry's death and therefore will have no doubt allowed the lives of many other LGBTQ youths at the school to be even more endangered. If this happened in my country, this discriminatory behaviour demonstrated by the teacher would have been dealt with severely, with a high likelihood of losing her job. Gay rights are human rights, and before our eyes, an educator, someone who is allowed near children is condoning the murder of a student, because of what they are.
This person is despicable - purely hateful. Yet there are so many other ignoramuses like her. They will never learn because they can't, they are too stupid. There is no hope for people who think like she does, there is no way into their brains, mostly because they don't have much brain to speak of.
I think her huge, huge question, of which she will never ask herself, would be, "How did I become so self-righteous, and scared of others that do not fit in the norm?" I would hope a "teacher" (oh, yeah, she IS teaching us something here, teaching us all about the issues she has within herself) such as this is in the most extreme minority. I teach middle school, and I have yet to EVER hear or hear of a staff member expressing a viewpoint similar to this teacher. She personifies "A Heart of Stone"...
Tolerance. WHERE the hell did tolerance go? WHERE did protecting your students, despite your personal beliefs go? They are JUST as responsible as that kid who killed him, and it's because these teachers were more than likely condoning the torture, because they all agreed he should have kept his mouth shut. This makes me sick. Another reason I refuse to send my kids to school. So much of this happens, and people are covering their eyes/ears to it.
I have never felt more disgust towards a person than I do towards this "teacher". This murdered teen reached out to her and she says he should have been kicked in the ass. What a horrible, horrible person she is. No compassion. Someone this cold should not be around children. I don't care if this happened in a small town or a big town. In this day and age, this is a horrible outlook for someone who should be a role model She is not a role model. The way she talks, she is saying Larry asked to be shot. That he brought it upon himself. I am sickened by this and you can see the hate in her face, her disgust with Larry in the way she talks about it all. Larry was murdered and all she can focus on is that "gay pride parade" that happened in front of the school?!?!?
This is why we have so much hate in the world!! People like Shirly teach it and condone it!! I would pull my kid out of her class, and if the school lets her teach there then they condone the actions of a murder!! I would pull my kid out of that school, and lead a campaign against the teacher, the school, and the district to have her fired.. But maybe she forgot how to treat others on how you would want to be treated!!! Or to just love!!! Or that the bible says those who judge will be judged on what they are judging!!! So maybe she will get to go hell!! I don't know I'm just saying!!!
I agree. I would love to know the outcome as to what the child's family has done since his death. another question is does this POS still teach at the school. It is because of teachers and school admins like this one that so many teens still trying to grapple with their sexual identity end up so messed up, dead by the hands of class mates or suicide. Parents put their child's safety into the hands of schools every day with the hope that their child will come home safe. What a false sense of trust.

Purchasing a house from the foreclosure list can be a great way to buy a condo or investment property at a huge savings! Largely this is because of lack of knowledge about the process or fear from misinformation they may have heard about buying a foreclosure. Foreclosuresearch.ca is a terrific resource to learn all about the foreclosure market and how best to work out a deal that suits your unique needs.
How can I find Cowichan Bay bank foreclosures?
I use Foreclosuresearch.ca for my foreclosure needs because it is a one stop shop so to speak for knowledge about the market and the Cowichan Bay foreclosures procedure as well as lists of available properties in Cowichan Bay British Columbia with pictures and descriptions.
This saves me a bunch of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for many hours looking at different Realtors websites sifting through houses that are certainly not foreclosures or don't fit what I am searching for.
Even many Realtors have started to use their website to find the absolute BEST deal for their clients! If a real estate professional believes in www.foreclosuresearch.ca, then I know I made the right choice.
Other options for finding foreclosed properties in Cowichan Bay is to speak to your local bank to see if they are holding properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that specializes in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list whatever property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure purchasing process so you need to be informed before going in.
How to buy a foreclosed house with bad credit
Let me start off by saying that buying a foreclosed house in Cowichan Bay with bad credit is conceivable!
First, you have the alternative to buy a house for cash at a real estate auction. Your credit doesn't play a factor at all because you are not taking out a loan. Not everyone has this sort of money lying around though so lets consider other options.
Research federal home buying programs. After the global economic crisis the last several years, banks have started to loosen their lending requirements again at the urging of governments to allow homebuyers the opportunity of experiencing homeownership. There are many programs offered again to help those with low incomes or poor credit to buy homes. Your local housing authority department should be able to help if you don't find what you need on the internet.
Search for residential or commercial properties in your area and search for loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a moderately higher interest rate due to your lower credit score. You should be able to remortgage in a couple of years after making on time payments to obtain a lower rate.
How to buy a foreclosed condo in Cowichan Bay, BC
The initial step is to get pre approved for a mortgage through a bank of your choosing or scrape together enough money to buy a house through an auction for all cash.
Next, find condos in Cowichan Bay, BC that you are interest in. I use Foreclosuresearch.ca for this.
Find a Realtor that specializes in Cowichan Bay foreclosures and will be able to help you through the technique of buying.
If you have questions about the process, I would consider consulting with a real estate or foreclosure attorney before purchasing to make sure you understand the method and the ramifications of buying foreclosed properties.
Something that needs to be considered before you buy is that some foreclosure properties are not open to having a home inspection done before buying and/or the bank that owns the property may not want to make any repairs. This could end up costing you some money to ensure the repairs after purchasing. This is the only downfall in my opinion when buying foreclosed homes
How long does it take to buy a Cowichan Bay foreclosure or distress sale?
This hinges on how you are buying the house. Properties that are bought in cash at an auction are turned over within a week or two maximum depending upon how much time it takes your funds to move to the bank and the title to be completed. Personally, I have had properties transfer to me within three days.
If you are buying a property through a mortgage then the closing process takes a little bit longer. My experience has been around thirty days to closing, which is pretty customary when purchasing a property.
Are there reasons not to buy a bank foreclosure?
Foreclosed houses are usually sold "as is," suggesting the bank is not willing to make any repairs before selling the property. This means that any repairs could fall back upon the new owner to fix. Sometimes the repairs are small-scale and other times they are serious.
Often a foreclosed property has sat uninhabited for some time so maintenance has been neglected and will need to be dealt with immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has changed to a new owner doesn't mean that all difficulties have passed. This is the importance of having a title search done prior to buying a property given that liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could take over them without realizing it.
How to negotiate for bank owned homes.
Patience is key here! The bank is in business to make money so they will be trying to get the highest possible price for the house that they can.
Bear in mind that dealing with banks is a mechanical process and usually handled by computers and not actual people. This can be annoying for you the buyer but it is what it is. Ultimately if you are persistent the bank will very likely cave if they have no other offers because they know they need to transfer the property quickly.Are bank owned homes good or poor? This completely depends upon your goals and the risk degree that you are willing to accept. If you are willing to take on the prospective repairs by yourself and not count on the bank to pay for them then this is a good deal! Always remember to do your prep work on foreclosures and on your residential property before buying to know exactly what you are getting involved in.

CHAMBERSBURG — Leading by seven with a little more than six minutes remaining, the Greencastle-Antrim boys' basketball team appeared poised to pull off the upset against Chambersburg in Saturday night's finale of the Dunks for Drew showcase.
Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, the game ended much like it started — all Trojans.
After establishing a double-digit advantage in the first eight minutes of play, Chambersburg closed out the fourth on a 21-7 run, thus overcoming a sluggish middle two quarters en route to a 68-61 victory.
Despite the disappointment of the loss, G-A (16-4) was certainly content with its performance, battling back to have the game within reach down the stretch.
"Our guys never gave up," G-A head coach Gary Martin said. "We got down early and we just kept battling. If you take away the last few minutes, we might be walking out of here with a win against a very good Chambersburg team."
The Blue Devils' slow start produced an 11-point deficit in the opening quarter, adding to the already difficult task of playing on the Trojans' home floor.
Needing a spark, Zach Faulkner willed his team back into it, netting eight straight team points to draw G-A within one midway through the second before later going into the locker room down by four at 33-29.
The momentum officially shifted in the third, paced by the effort of G-A's Joel Zola. His acrobatic abilities in the lane paired with his consistency from beyond the arc granted the Blue Devils their first lead since the game's opening bucket, with Zola's fourth 3 of the night putting G-A ahead 38-35.
The advantage remained intact through the remainder of the frame, with Zola scoring 11 of his game-high 26 points during the eight-minute span, sending the Blue Devils into the fourth leading by five at 49-44.
After exchanging buckets, a three-point play by Faulkner extended the margin to seven at 54-47 with 6:30 remaining, setting the stage for Chambersburg's rally.
A 3 from Kellen Williams jump-started the charge before a Stanley Flores make from downtown paired with consecutive lay-ins by Evason Obgonna drew the Trojans even at 60 with 3:05 left to play.
Austin Scott made one of two attempts from the free throw line to temporarily put the Blue Devils back in front, prior to Flores knocking down a pair from the charity stripe moments later, granting Chambersburg (14-7) a lead it would not relinquish.
Down by one, Zola had a pair of uncontested looks at a go-ahead 3 on back-to-back possessions, only to have both shots rim out, resulting in a frantic closing minute of regulation.
With the score still at 62-61, a block by Obgonna produced a fast-break opportunity for the Trojans, with Obgonna then running the floor to deliver the decisive blow, throwing down a two-handed slam while also drawing the foul, essentially sealing the victory after making it a two-possession game with 34 seconds remaining.
"Of course it would have been nice to get the win, but I'm not upset with our guys," Martin said following the defeat. "Chambersburg has a little bit of everything and we took them down to the wire. I'm proud of the way we played."
Williams led the Trojans with 19 points followed by 16 from Obgonna and 12 from Mitch Stahl.
Faulkner joined Zola in double figures with 19 points to go along with eight from Brandon Puffenbarger.
The Blue Devils will close out the regular season on Wednesday at Carlisle before preparing for the District 3-AAA playoffs.

The Theo Epstein era
The Theo Epstein era
Theo Epstein, who held the job of Red Sox general manager for 9 years, has been the most successful man ever to hold that position.
Epstein won two World Series during his tenure, and assembled the roster that ended the Red Sox' 86-year title drought in 2004.
Epstein was just 28 when he started as GM on Nov. 25, 2002. At that point he was the youngest GM in baseball history.
The Red Sox lost to the Yankees in Game 7 of the ALCS in his first year and Epstein would part ways with manager Grady Little, right, after the season.
With his first managerial hire, Epstein chose Terry Francona, with whom he would form an eight-year partnership.
Epstein spent Thanksgiving at the Arizona home of Curt Schilling in 2003 as he tried to convince the pitcher to accept a trade to the Red Sox.
Epstein also courted free-agent closer Keith Foulke during a trip to a Celtics game as he assembled a new cast for the 2004 Red Sox.
Perhaps Epstein's biggest gamble was trading disgruntled All-Star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra at the 2004 trading deadline.
The moves panned out for Epstein and Francona when the Red Sox closed out a World Series sweep of the Cardinals.
Epstein celebrated at the victory parade as hundreds of thousands of fans saluted the Red Sox in Boston.
The Boston Globe Magazine named Epstein "Bostonian of the Year" for 2004.
Epstein's magic touch in 2004 didn't last, however. His signing of Edgar Renteria in December 2004 was a dud. The Red Sox would trade the shortstop a year later.
Epstein's decision not to re-sign Red Sox icon Pedro Martinez to a long-term deal after the 2004 season was validated when the pitcher tore his rotator cuff with the Mets in 2006.
Epstein shocked many observers, including team owner John Henry, when he left the Red Sox after the 2005 season when his contract expired.
By the next spring, Epstein had rejoined the Red Sox as GM and said his concerns about the vision of the organization had been addressed.
In December 2006, Epstein made a splash when he signed Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka to a six-year deal.
Epstein and the Red Sox celebrated their second World Series title in four years in 2007.
Epstein (shown at a Jimmy Fund benefit on Jan. 15, 2003) grew from a Pearl Jam-loving bachelor into a seasoned baseball executive during his time with the Red Sox.
During his Boston tenure, Epstein married, Marie Whitney (left), with whom he had a son, Jack.
Epstein joined with baseball reporter Peter Gammons, left, and musicians Dicky Barrett, Kay Hanley, and Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton in benefits for his charitable foundation.
In 2008, Epstein traded Manny Ramirez, whose off-field antics had been problematic for almost all of the GM's tenure, to the Dodgers at the trading deadline.
In 2010, Epstein loaded the Red Sox with free agents such as John Lackey, Mike Cameron and Marco Scutaro, only to see the team slump to an 89-73 third-place finish.
In December 2010, Epstein made his most expensive foray into the free-agent market when he signed outfielder Carl Crawford to a seven-year, $142 million deal.
Epstein also welcomed first baseman Adrian Gonzalez in a trade from San Diego. He later signed Gonzalez to a seven-year, $154 million deal.
The 2011 team was projected as a World Series contender by many analysts, and the Red Sox were on pace for 100 wins as late as August.
But the season unraveled during a 7-20 stretch in September. The Red Sox missed the playoffs, and Epstein watched Francona depart as manager, just two weeks before he would decide to join the Cubs.

Legislation would change process of filling vacancy in state office
Incoming House Speaker Pro Tem Jason Smith (R-Salem) Thursday filed legislation designed to bring what he feels is an additional level of fairness to the process for filling a vacancy in a state wide office.
Smith has filed similar legislation in each of the last several sessions to require special elections to fill vacancies in the offices of lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state auditor, state treasurer and U.S. senator.
He said he believes the veto proof majorities in the House and Senate give the bill its best chance yet to become law.
"This is a common sense reform that addresses an issue we've seen in other states where vacant seats have been sold to the highest bidder," said Smith. "It's a measure the legislature approved two years ago but was vetoed by the governor. My hope is we will see a level of support this year that will propel this much-needed change into law.
"Power should be derived from people," Smith added.
"We're moving forward on this legislation because Missouri voters should have the opportunity to choose a leader who represents their best interest, not a leader chosen by the governor."
Smith's legislation, which is House Bill 110, would allow the governor to appoint a temporary officeholder to fill a vacancy until a special election is called. Currently, the governor is charged with permanently filling a vacant position.
Smith's bill also would not allow a temporary officeholder to run for the office when a special election is called.
In addition, House Bill 110 would require the governor to call a special election to fill a statewide vacancy at the same time as a scheduled general election. Smith said the change would prevent any additional cost from being passed on to Missouri taxpayers.
"We want the people to have a voice in the process and we want a system for filling vacancies that is fair," said Smith. "My bill provides a common sense solution to a problem that could very easily arise here if we don't act."

Considered one of the most enduring successes of comedic theatre, Noel Coward's "Private Lives" has remained one of his best loved comedies since its Broadway debut in 1930.
Considered one of the most enduring successes of comedic theatre, Noel Coward's "Private Lives" has remained one of his best loved comedies since its Broadway debut in 1930. Subsequent revivals on Broadway and the West End have earned nominations and major theater awards, including Drama Desk Awards and Tony Awards.
Using his irreverent wit, Coward explores the dynamic between men and women by means of glamorous, upper-class characters and comedic stagecraft. "Private Lives" introduces us to divorced couple Elyot and Amanda who meet unexpectedly at a Riviera hotel while honeymooning with their new spouses.
Realizing they are still in love with each other, they recklessly abandon their spouses and impulsively dash off together without caring how scandalous their behavior is.
Unfortunately, they soon remember that although they can't live without each other, they can't live with each other either. They are trapped in a vicious cycle of love and hate as violent arguments ensue between them. The action escalates when the deserted spouses arrive and new partnerships are formed.
Directing the fast-paced comedy opening tonight at the Oak Ridge Playhouse is managing artistic director Reggie Law.
"We have a really delightful cast for the show," he said. "And the production design is sumptuous. The scenery, costumes, lighting, wigs and sound effects harken back to the glamor of 1930s' Hollywood films."
The cast of five includes Michael Higdon and Lisbeth Splawn as Elyot and Amanda, with Tony Cedeño, and Rebecca Gomez as their new spouses Victor and Sybil.
Valerie Bernard makes her Playhouse debut in a riotous turn as Louise, a French maid.
In addition to tonight's opening, performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. In the production's final week, there are performances at 8 p.m. Sept. 19, 20 and 21, with a final Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Sept. 22.
For more information, log on to www.orplayhouse.com or call (865) 482-9999. Tickets range in price from $16 to $22 depending on performance date.
This production is also made possible through support from WUOT 91.9 FM and the Tennessee Arts Commission.

The Trial of John Peter Zenger: In 1735, German born printer John Peter Zenger was unjustly imprisoned and put on trial for sedition and libel after publishing criticism of the New York colony's corrupt Governor William Cosby.

Starring Eddie Albert, Marian Seldes, Frederick Worlock; Directed by Paul Nickell.
Luigi Pirandello's Henry IV (1949, B&W): A fall from a horse leaves a wealthy man with a head injury and a persistent delusion that he is 11th century Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV of Germany. After 20 years of enabling and reinforcing his dementia, his psychiatrist summons the man's ex-wife to participate in a costumed charade meant to provide a possible cure. But the patient harbors long-festering dark motivations of his own, and he twists the proceedings to his own vengeful ends. This Westinghouse Studio One production is based on often-staged 1922 masterwork by Luigi Pirandello, Enrico IV. Starring Berry Kroeger, Richard Purdy, Catherine Williard and Virginia McMahon; Directed by Paul Nickell.
The Story of Meg Mallory (1952, B&W): The Mayor's pretty young daughter is kidnapped and held for ransom. While in captivity, she falls in love with her captor, Carl. Once returned to her family, Meg is pressured to go against her heart and testify against Carl, despite her conviction that he is not the real villain. Starring Thomas Mitchell, Wendy Drew and Skip Homeier; Directed by Paul Nickell.

When Caroline abandons her skyrocketing career to be with him, Michael is torn and his inner torments rise to the surface. With his wife Mercedes traveling though France, Michael's plans for divorce are constantly interrupted and delayed. After war breaks out and Mercedes is captured by the Nazis, Caroline watches helplessly as Michael enters a deadly tailspin of depression and drink. The Willow Cabin was produced live on network TV on February 27, 1950 and was one of 12 dramas Charlton Heston starred in for Westinghouse Studio One.
Wintertime (1951, B&W): In 1946, post-war Germans live in bleak desperation, pinched between American occupiers, Soviet spies and corrupt police. In bombed-out Nordune, ex-prisoner of war Martin Helm returns home after four years to find a city of starving survivors - including a terrified young Latvian refugee named Lisa. After being tortured in Nazi concentration camps, Lisa is now on the run from the Russians who are hunting for her brother, a nationalist guerilla fighter. Thrown together by the cruel chaos of war, the two find love amid the rubble. But the budding new life they dream of is threatened when Martin kills a communist agent and Lisa is imprisoned. This gripping and suspenseful post-war thriller was aired live on April 2, 1951 and benefits from powerful acting by its stellar cast. A young Anne Bancroft (billed as Anne Marno) gives a commanding performance as the troubled refugee and receives outstanding support from British actor Patric Knowles (How Green Was My Valley, The Wolf Man) and German actress Leni Stengel. Character actor Kurt Katch is equally memorable as the sadistic police boss who brutally interrogates Lisa after her arrest.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Usualsuspect from sexy but it does not cover your bust area The blouse is very pretty and sexy. I tried both XS and Small. XS size fit better overall than small. However, both didn't cover my bust area like shown on photos. I tried lace cami underneath to hide my breast but it didn't look good. I will try safety pin to close the front. If not, I have to return this blouse. Definitely NOT suitable for professional work outfit unless you want to seduce your boss.

The trend might be for rising temperatures, but there is always variation around a trend line and this past month, was a decidely below average variation. The Updraft blog of Minnesota Public Radio wrote on Monday that this was the coldest March in 17 years.
March 2013 was a month that had way below average cold temperatures. According to weather.com the average high for a day in March is 40 degrees F.
This past month was 35.81 degrees, or more than four degrees below average. This is the biggest below average variation in 20 months.
The trend might be for rising temperatures, but there is always variation around a trend line and this past month, was a decidely below average variation. The Updraft blog of Minnesota Public Radio wrote on Monday that this was the coldest March in 17 years.
We can take solace the three winter months December, January and February did have above normal temperatures.
Still, the chill in March was just a bit demoralizing. It would have been nice just to have been over with winter starting around the first of March.
Remembering last March might have had something to do with thinking this March was so miserable.
Last year the average daily high for March was 58 degrees, which was 18 degrees above average and 22 degrees above this month' average.
This year March had one day with a temperature above 58. The mercury hit 59 on the 29th.
As of the end of March, St. James had yet had a 60 degree day.
One positive for March was precipitation. St. James had 3.09 inches of moisture, and the monthly average is 1.64. That is at least a little drought relief.
However, much of that moisture might not sink in due to a soil condition Meteorologists call 'concrete frost'.
This is something that impacts the top layer of the earth. Much of the region had rains in December. That moisture did not sink deeply into the soil that had not yet frozen. It didn't sink in because a cold snap flash froze the ground. The top layer of soil became like a block of ice. Pour water on a block of ice, and it runs off.
Concrete frost removes the soil's ability to infiltrate additional water as the entire surface pore space is already filled with ice. Additionally, it takes higher and/or prolonged temperatures to remove concrete frost conditions as compared to frost in the soil formed during unsaturated conditions.
As the spring thaw began, the surface of the soil is like a big block of ice. Much of the water on top of the flash frozen soil is likely to run off into streams, rivers and lakes before the soil thaws.
Last month did not produce the higher and/or prolonged temperatures to remove this condition, so much of the above average precipitation we experienced is not likely to be absorbed into the soil. There were radio reports that ice thickened on some Minnesota lakes in March.
There were many storms this past winter and St. James did not take a direct hit. We missed the heavy snow bands with all of the storms whether they passed to the south, north, east or west of us.
As far as April and the spring goes, the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center forecasts an equal chance Minnesota will see either above or below normal temperatures over the next 30 days and 90 days.
The first ten days of April are predicted to have temperatures well below average. The Weather Channel is predicting much colder than average temperatures for April.
The Climate Prediction Center says drought conditions should improve in Minnesota over the next 90 days

Lambs beat the hawks after carroll and crew got punked by the fake punt?
Carroll tried to get retribution, by doing an onside kick at start of 2nd half - didn't go in his favor
What do you think the odds are of carroll calling up the trick play to get his revenge against Fischer and the lambs?
Odds are if he does it would be with the score already in our favor, at least I'd hope that to be the case
What do you think?

A bill that would temporarily allow gambling at the Meadowlands in the days leading up to the 2014 Super Bowl was pulled from the Assembly Regulatory Oversight and Gaming Committee's agenda today, as lawmakers continue to work through technical issues surrounding the arrangement.
"What we're going to do is try and button up a couple of logistical issues that came up as we were having this discussion with all of the stakeholders behind the scenes before we bring it out into the public," said Assemblyman Ruben Ramos Jr. (D-Hoboken), a sponsor of the bill and the committee's chairman.
The bill would allow Atlantic City casino operators to set up shop at the Meadowlands complex for six days leading up to the Super Bowl. Ramos said the idea is to ensure Super Bowl tourists spend time and money in the Garden State.
"A lot of economic activity is going to take place during that time, and we want New Jersey to benefit from it as much as possible," he said.
Ramos' bill is specifically tied to the Super Bowl, but the committee also postponed action on a proposed constitutional amendment that would change the state's gaming regulations to give the Legislature the ability to allow temporary gaming at the Meadowlands Complex.
With the gaming issues off the table, the committee gave its seal of approval to three other bills. One, sponsored by Assemblyman Ronald Dancer (R-Cream Hills), would allow New Jersey residents to place bets on horseraces using the state's closed wagering system even when they're out of state. Currently, only New Jersey residents can use the system, and only when they're in-state. But Dancer said it's so easy now to wager via smartphone that many residents might unwittingly be breaking the law.
"The practice is widespread now, with today's technology," he said.
The move was opposed by Barbara DeMarco, a vice president at Porzio Governmental Affairs, who spoke on behalf of Greenwood Racing. Greenwood is the owner of the Atlantic City Race Course and half-owner of the Freehold Raceway. The company also helps operate the state's closed account wagering system.
DeMarco said most states allow private operators to set up account wagering systems in their state, while New Jersey has a state-run monopoly.
For instance, Churchill Downs, which operates the Kentucky Derby, also has its own account wagering system, Twin Spires, which operates in multiple states. Under current law, a New Jersey resident visiting those states would have to open a Twin Spires account. If New Jersey changes its law, DeMarco said companies like Churchill Downs would lose customers, and could potentially retaliate by hiking the "host fees" they charge New Jersey racetracks to show premium races, like the Kentucky Derby.
"So we're concerned that companies like that, that have control over content, may come in and say, 'You're changing the rules to benefit you, well, we're going to change the rules to benefit us,' " she said.
The committee approved the bill unanimously despite the concerns. Dancer said they can deal with such problems when, and if, they arise.

The V.P. is the introductory golf disc from Vibram. It is an overstable putt and approach disc that handles a head wind and gives a predictable, consistent fade. This is one of the strongest driving putters ever created making it a great driver for those shorter drives requiring pinpoint accuracy. Engineered to perform as a hyzer putter, it is very predictable in windy conditions. Off the tee, it is best controlled by power throwers. On the green, everyone should have success. The VP is preferred by lob putters and hyzer putters and is designed for advanced players.
Fade 24, Speed 250' at 60 mph, Turn 2
The Vibram V.P. is available in X-Link, X-Link Firm and X-Link Soft.
Vibram Plastic Characteristics
The X-Link material is a unique rubber-based compound which resists scuffs, has incredible durability and unequaled grip. Additionally, X-Link has a strong memory. If you do manage to bend it out of shape, in all likelihood it will work its way back.
X-Link Firm is a rubber-based compound which is based on Vibram's X-Link. It is a special blend designed to maximize the firmness of the disc while maintaining as much of the grip and durability that is found in the base X-Link material. Over 50 formulations were tested in the creation of X-Link Firm to create its optimal performance.
X-Link Soft is a niche rubber-based compound. This material is the closest to pure rubber of Vibram's three materials. In the putter line, this material flies well and will hit and stick, minimizing deflections. It also works well as a learning tool as the floppy material performs best when proper form is used. Note: Due to X-Link Soft being almost pure rubber, this material will dry and crack if left in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
X-Link Soft is a special run that is only made once a year, usually in late September, early October. Contact us by mid-September to order your favorite models of X-Link Soft discs.

The state of Missouri has filed opposition with the Missouri Supreme Court in response to Mark Woodworth's request for bail.
The state's high court last week ordered that Woodworth's convictions be vacated, and stated that he should be discharged from the state's custody within 60 days, unless the state files a petition to retry him.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster announced following the Supreme Court's ruling, that the state would seek a new trial against Woodworth, who is currently serving four life sentences in the shooting death of Catherine Robertson and the criminal assault of her husband, Lyndel, in 1990.
Woodworth, who was 16 at the time of the shootings, has maintained his innocence since he was indicted by a Livingston County grand jury in 1993. He was first convicted in 1995 on the charges and sentenced to 31 years in prison. Woodworth appealed his convictions, arguing, among other things, that the prosecution failed to make a submissible case and that the trial court erred in excluding evidence regarding another individual.
It is unknown, at this time, when the Supreme Court will rule on the motion regarding the state's opposition to bail.

Sorry, but specific product you requested is not currently available. Hopefully you can find another option below.
This incredible fingering weight yarn is dyed with natural dyes in a labor intensive process that brings much joy to the dyer, the knitter and the environment. It results in beautiful yarns with lots of variegation that vary from lot to lot. The generous 525 yards per skein is enough to create an exquisite shawl. **PLEASE NOTE** Some of the colors are dyed with all natural Indigo. The dyeing process for indigo is quite different from other plant based dyes as the Indigo molecues sit on top of the fiber rather than penetrating into it. Because of this, it is the inherent nature of natural indigo dyed yarns to have some rub off. Everything has been done to minimize this, but you may experience some color rubbing onto your hands or needles. All colors that are created using Indigo are identified with a special tag.
We provide endless possibilities for you including yarn, knitting gifts, needles, kits, sale yarn, free knitting patterns, and more!Jimmy Beans Wool is Your Local Yarn Store... Online!

Saint Mary men continue quality play while the Lady Spires head in the opposite direction
It looks like the conference season was the cure the Saint Mary men's basketball team needed.
Since winning just two of its previous six games in late November, the Spires have ripped off victories in its first two Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference contests. On Saturday, USM demolished host Friends University to the tune of 75-43.
In doing so, Saint Mary claimed its second straight win and its fourth in its last five matchups.
"In my five years at Saint Mary, last Saturday may have been one of the best efforts I have ever seen by my team in a KCAC game," USM coach Jon Bishop said. "More importantly, it gave us a 2-0 start in the league with both wins coming on the road, which is huge."
At 2-0, 6-5 overall, USM sits atop the KCAC table in a three-way tie for first with Bethany College and Sterling College. On Thursday, the squad hosts Kansas Wesleyan at 8 p.m.
Against Friends, the game was never really close. USM shot 55 percent from the field in the first half to build a 43-17 halftime lead. From there, the Spires cruised to the 32-point win.
Twelve Saint Mary players recorded at least a point. Jordan Wilcox led the team with 17 while JEB Greenberg had a team-high eight rebounds.
"I not only think winning both was big, but winning both on the road last week gives us a lot of momentum going into this week," Bishop said, "but we still have to continue to play well. Taking care of business this week really sets up our team heading into the break."
Lady Spires can't stop losing skid
The University of Saint Mary girls' basketball team lost its fifth straight game Saturday.
Traveling to Friends University, the Lady Spires competed with its host throughout the entire 40 minutes of regulation.
However, USM could not close strong and after being tied at 24 to end the first half, the team lost 59-53. Jordan VanNess scored a team-high 20 points while Shelby Watson had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Saint Mary, 4-6 overall and 0-2 in the KCAC, will host Kansas Wesleyan at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Delaware Library Association Bulletin
Summer 1973
Summer 1973
Vol, 27 No. 1
This issue of the DLA Bulletin comes to you in a change of clothing!
The urgent need for improved communication among librarians of the state
plus a limited publication budget call for a bulletin which can be produced
more frequently and offer truly current information, This is the purpose
of our change in format to a quarterly newsletter bulletin.
Although slightly less sophisticated in appearance, the DLA Bulletin
will continue to include feature articles of broad general interest and to
adhere to the standards set by past editors. All librarians of the state
are urged to participate in an information exchange by submitting pertinent
material to the editor at any time throughout the coming year.
It is hoped that through an increase in communication, the DLA
Bulletin will contribute to a better-informed librarianship in Delaware
and make more effective our attempts at collective action.
~~~ Judy Matz, Editor
George is out of town. We all miss him.
"Let George do it" is a phrase facetiously used by many of us.
George has not done anything for libraries in the past, and we do not
expect him to change his old habits in the future. Too many of us have
left library support up to him.
Libraries need support from the public, professional, and private
sectors. George has not been visible in any of the aforementioned three.
The devastating blows which struck libraries in Delaware causing serious
service cuts, and all but wiping out the Division of Libraries in Dover,
making it a headless organization, a shadow of what it used to be, are a
result, in part, of our inability to organize and effectively push for a
reversal in a backward trend. This trend is progressively more devastating.
The DLS's Ad Hoc Co-ordinating Action Committee on Libraries, headed by
Helen Bennett, has done a commendable job contacting legislators and
publicizing in the news media the plight of libraries of this state;
however, we need the support of the entire professional community. We
need it before the fact; after the fact is just too late.
We need your active support of libraries. The prerequisite for this
support is time. The time to contact persons in positions whose judgments
affect libraries, the time to join and work for your professional
association, the time to inform yourself of developments relating to our
problem. Help the Delaware Library Association help libraries. Please
don't wait for George to do it. He is out of town indefinitely.
Gloria Rabinowitz
DLA President 1973-74
On June 21, 1973, the United State Supreme Court decided five momentous cases dealing with
the interpretation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. These decisions and the precedents
they may establish are being met with a wide range of reaction . To the artistic/literary community,
to the teacher and the librarian, to the layman committed to personal liberty they are cause for
grave concern and indeed, indignation .
The Court's definition of obscenity would include material of sexual content, which "…taken
as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or value." As if the obvious difficulty of this
"definitive " test were not enough, the Court has left the decision in individual cases at the local
level. Local juries may judge a work obscene in relation to the reaction of "the average person"
of that community. This is not only discriminatory, but also laughable in some instances.
The new decisions establish the jury's right to determine obscenity without prosecuting evidence.
The local jury makes its decision on the basis of its own review and this decision may not be appealed.
The American Library Association, in recognition of the inherent dangers of these opinions, has
resolved to file a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court for a rehearing of these five decisions.
Four anti-obscenity bills are currently under consideration in the Delaware General Assembly,
following Supreme Court action.
House Substitute 1 for HB 70, introduced by Rep. Francis M. Jornlin, provides for civil penalties
in addition to existing criminal penalties for Delaware obscenity law violations. This bill establishes
procedures for immediately closing establishments charged with dealing in obscene materials, HS 1
for HB 70 is amended to include the Supreme Court definition of obscenity. It has passed the House
and is out of Committee in the Senate.
House Bill 529 would amend the current definition of obscenity as stated in the Delaware Code
to conform to the newly promulgated U.S. Supreme Court definition. This bill, also introduced by
Mr. Jornlin, has passed the House and is under consideration in the Senate.
House Bill 525, introduced by Rep. Lois M. Lesher, would prohibit outdoor theatres from showing
films which have an R or X rating , when these films are visible to minors (under 17 years of age) not
in attendance at the showing . Mrs. Lesher's bill has passed the House and is now out of Committee in
the Senate .
House Bill 308, sponsored jointly by Rep. Lesher and Rep. Robert T. Connor, would require that
each motion picture shown in Delaware be licensed by a review board to be appointed by the governor.
This bill provides penalties for showing unlicensed films. This bill is now tabled in the House as it
currently lacks necessary support.
The above is a brief summary and status report on the obscenity question as it exists in the Delaware
legislature at this time . Each of these four bills is of vital importance to us as citizens and as
librarians of the state .
The ramifications of the recent Supreme Court opinions are stated by Justice William O. Douglas
in his dissenting opinion in Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, District Attorney et al. :
"What we do today is rather ominous as respects librarians. The
net now designed by the Court is so finely meshed that taken literally
it could result in raids on libraries. Libraries, I had always assumed,
were sacrosanct, representing every part of the spectrum. If what
is offensive to the most influential person or group in a community
can be purged from a library, the library system would be destroyed.:
(Report on the Social Responsibilities Round Table Task Force on Service to Prisoners and Action
Council program at the Annual Conference of the American Library Association, Las Vegas, June 26, 73)
The need for and potential of library service to prisoners was described by former prisoners,
community organizers for support and materials for prison libraries, and prison librarians, with concurrent
audio-visual presentations.
The conditions in prisons were graphically illustrated by alternating scenes of a speech by a
California prison to a community group with scenes from actual California prisons and comments by
prisoners , The indeterminent term as the embodiment of modern, flexible , enlightened corrections
contrasts with the sense of ambiguity and anomie felt by one who does not know when he will be
released from prison as the chief method of psychological control of prisoners; modern psychological
and health services for prisoners contrast with the psychological and physical agony of the "adjustment
center" (solitary confinement); new modern prisons contrast with the drab, bleak, sterile, bar ...
surrounded almost stereotyped reality; and the image of California as the leader in corrections
based on a strong public relations program contrasts with the highest incidence of violence and
murder of any state correctional system in the country . Zoia Horn, who was imprisoned for respecting
the confidentiality of the librarian-patron relationship before the Harrisburg 8 Grand Jury, attested
to the impact of the prison atmosphere by describing her incarceration . She noted particularly the
shock effect on a staid, upright, middle-class librarian of being ordered to strip naked and the
cqpriciousness of prison regulations which resulted in a new limitation of the number of letters one
could keep in one's cell to two after she had received numerous letters of support from fellow librarians
and others. Roney Nunes, who has been a prisoner for most of his adult life and is now on probation,
described the resistence he encountered in his attempt to obtain access to law books in prison. He
underwent frequent sojourns in the "adjustment center" and suffered other deprivations.
Prisoners are generally at the mercy of local prison officials un less and until they receive outside
support. Ted Slate heads the private Books for Prisoners in New York. The organization scrounges
books donations, leftovers from ships, gifts from publishers, and any other available source; so that
reading materials can be made available in prisons. The aforementioned Mr. Nunes is on a speaking
tour for the California Prison Law Project which seeks to make law books more available in California prisons. Another method of serving prisoners from outside prison walls was discussed by Irene W. Swanton,
Wyoming County Library System, N.Y. at a multi-divisional meeting on June 25, 1973. A mail
order book service which had been established for the community at large was extended to Attica Prison.
It is now used by the majority of literate prisoners and so far only two books have been excluded, one
on bomb making and one that closely pertains to a current prisoner.
Prisoners are served, or course, only when someone from the outside can come in and help set up
a prison library. Virgil Gulken, an English teacher, became involved in a Michigan prison book
program, Having no expertise on the reading interests of prisoners, he experimented. Among his
methods was taking prisoners into a bookstore. After much experimenting, he has developed a basic
bibliography which has been published. Basically, prisoners' reading interests parallel the reading
interests of the general public. Ty Jordan explained what could be (and has been) done in the
environment of sustantial cooperation and non-interference that exists in Florida and a great deal of
imagination. He has set up a program that would be the envy of many public librarians. He wrote
for and received free art prints, sculptures and other miscellaneous objects which he used to make the
prison library the most pleasant place in the institution as well as loan to the prisoners. He wrote for
and received free recreational materials (e .g . used playing cards from Las Vegas hotels). In short, he
developed a rudimentary media center by the scrounge method.
The scrounge method used by Mssrs. Slate and Jordan, like most voluntary programs, has been
criticized because it by-passes forcing the local community to face and accept its basic responsibilities.
Nevertheless, service rendered where service would not have been is a powerful argument for this approach.
Basically, prisoners have the same need for library materials and services as the general public. In
the area of law books, the courts now agree, they have a greater need. Libraries and librarians can and
should be at the forefront in both providing these materials and services and educating the public and
civil authorities to bring about the conditions under which full service can be rendred. - Robert H.Marshall
Resolution Expressing Appreciation to Members of
United States House of Representatives
WHEREAS fiscal year 1974 begins on July 1, 1973; and
WHEREAS the President's budget recommends zero funding in FY 1974 for all library programs
authorized by the Library Services and Construction Act, title II of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act, and title II ... A&B of the Higher Education Act; and
WHEREAS the House- passed bill would appropriate FY 1974 funds for the library programs at the
following levels: Library Services and Construction Act -- $58,709,000; title II of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act -- $90,000.000; title II A&B of the Higher Education Act --
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the American Library Association expresses its appreciation and gratitude to the Appropriations Committee of the United State House of Representatives and to
the entire House of Representatives for its long-standing support of library programs and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that both the Committee and the House of Representatives be especially
commended, at this crucial time when all library programs would otherwise be stated for extinction
by the President's budget, for passing H. R. 8877, a bill which would make possible the continuation of essential library services for millions of American citizens,
Mr. Jack M. Tyler, Director
Delaware Division of Libraries
May I leave "swan songs" to others who prefer them and direct my
attention to an issue which I think bears some reiteration during this
particular season .
It has been said that what the future has in store for Delaware
depends largely on what Delaware places in store for the future. What
is Delaware's policy regarding the future of libraries in this First
State? What will be the product of its proposed fiscal appropriations
for library service? Is is statesmanship or politics which is responsible
for the now potential course of continuing education in our public
Early in my career a philosophy regarding the purpose of libraries
and more especially librarians was often repeated as though it were basic
to everything the profession stood for -- "The right book into the right
hand ,at the right moment." As time passes and my appreciation for that
philosophy grows, it does become more and more a basic principle and a
foundation upon which everything else librarians do is built. Now, this
catch phrase I have come to believe probably is based upon Ranganathan's
"Library Primacies," which are first, "books are for use"; second, "every
reader his book"; third, "every book its reader"; fourth, "save the time
of the reader"; and fifth, "the library is a growing organism." I believe
you will agree that these two philosophies are for all practical purposes
the same, and now on to my point.
Since these philosophies are articles of librarianship and basic to
our purpose then that which opposes or inhibits the development or
existence of these primacies are to be resisted and defeated at every
opportunity. Remember, that the future will be the past come home to
roose and whatever that hatching produces will be a direct result of all
prior events.
- Reprinted from
Division of Libraries' Newsletter
June 29, 1973 p. l
The Delaware Library Association deeply regrets the departure of Mr. Jack Tyler, former
director of the Division of Libraries. The Division's loss of funding is a severe blow to library
service in the State of Delaware. Service cut backs include loss of professional staff, cancellation
of the DRILL program, the processing and procurement operation, all workshops and professional
consulting services. In effect, the Division of Libraries will be-reduced to a warehouse or storage
unit run by a clerical staff.
All the ramifications of this situation are not yet fully apparent. The total damage to State
library service over a period of time will be irreparable. That such a situation could exist in 1973
is a telling reflection on the priorities of State government in Delaware.
The Spring Meeting of DLA, April 11, 1973, was acclaimed a great success by all those in
attendance. Activities were held at the University of Delaware in the John M, Clayton Hall,
Center for Continuing Education.
Mrs. Pearl Frankenfield, Director of the Montgomery County-Norristown Distict Library
conducted a program entitled: "Dialogue on Library Innovation." This was a lively exchange on
a fresh approach to problem solving in libraries.
Brian Bosworth, Program Planner at the Delaware State Planning Office, addressed the group
on "Revenue Sharing - What it is, What it means, How can you use it?" Mr. Bosworth's interesting
and pertinent address centered on revenue sharing in light of its particular implications for librarians.
The after dinner speaker was John N. Berry, III, Editor-in-Chief of the Library Journal, His
speech, "Witness for the Defense," was an incisive analysis of the politics of institutional
development - an indictment of institutional librarianship as well as an exhortation to a more
positive approach to library service.
Comments from the DLA membership have expressed appreciation for the relevance and
practicality of this program.
Mrs. Myrtice Wickham, Delaware's A.L.A. Council Delegate, has reported on some of the
highlights of the recent annual convention in Las Vegas.
An ISAD Library Automation Preconference was held to provide continuing education for
librarians in the field of library automation. The keynote speaker, Allen Veaner, presented an
overview of automation developments in the last five years. Each day of the conference included
open discussion groups.
Librarians were urged to contact their congressmen in support of HR5424, a bill which would
require governmental agencies to respond to all questions received within ten days, to publish all
rulings and operational procedures, and to index all published materials in clear terms.
Legislative Committee Chairman Joseph Shubert reported passage of H. R. 8877. Proposed
funding was as follows: LSCA - $58,709,000; ESEA Title II .., $90,000,000; HEA Title II a & b -
$15,OOO,OOO. A resolution commending the House action was unanimously passed by Council,
Copies of this resolution will be sent to members of the House of Representative.
Mr. Shubert also urged ALA members to express their appreciation immediately to the 213
Congressmen who defeated the Michel (R. III.) amendment, which would have reduced library
funds by $19 million ,
A copy of this resolution is included on the following page. Interested librarians are urged to
express approval and appreciation of the House action by sending a signed copy of the resolution
to Representative Du Pont.
"To me the ALA Convention was a unique one this year. I appreciated the privilege and honor
of participating as Delaware's Council delegate." Mrs. Myrtice Wickham
Atlantic City, N.J .
October 24- 27, 1973
The annual Fall meeting of DLA will be held during the MARLF conference in Atlantic City. Bus
transportation from one or more points in Delaware may be available to members on the day of the DLA
business meeting.
A four-day conference of the Middle Atlantic Regional Library Federation will be held in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, from Wednesday, October 24 through Saturday October 27, 1973.
The largest library meeting to be held east of the Rockies this year the conference is expected to
attract over 8,000 delegates. They will represent the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia and the the District of Columbia.
The conference, the first to be held by the Middle Atlantic Regional Library Federation since 1967,
will have as its theme "Viewpoints, the Way To Go - 1973 to 2000 A.D ~ II
By meeting in Atlantic City this fall, we hope that all DLA members will take advantage of a
well-planned program and an excellent series of speakers. Specific information on program activities
and on group transportation will be mailed out to DLA members and interested persons, upon request.
DLA needs new members! If you know of likely candidates, please contact Jean Bear at the
Wilmington Institute Library. Dues checks may be made payable to DLA and sent to Mr. Lee Steele,

owning duplicates or personal copies which are no longer needed, is asked to contact Judy Matz at
the Wilmington Institue. (656-3131)
Mrs. Gloria Rabinowitz, DLA president, has appointed a committee for careful review of our dues
structure. The possibility of a dues increase may be considered to secure publicity for the Association,
to provide continued excellence in programs, and to support additional workshops and new opportunities
for continuing education.
DLA's Library Development Committee and the Delaware Library Trustees Association are involved
in a joint effort to explore the possibilities of a mass publicity campaign for Delaware libraries.
Representatives of both groups will be meeting with commercial advertising firms in the hope of
formulating a tentative publicity plan.
Doctor Robert A. Wilson, Assistant Professor and Resident Sociologist at the Universith of
Delaware reports on the progress of the Public Library User Survey. This telephone survey will record
and analyze the reactions of Delaware citizens to library service in the state.
This survey is being conducted by the Division of Urban Affairs under the advisement of the
Delaware Library Association. He reports that the interviews should be completed by August 1, 1973
and computer analysis of collected information will begin at the end of August. The completed
survey is expected to be released at the first of October, 1973.
Robert Marshall, PLD president, has announced a new "Standards and Accredidation Committee"
to approach ALA standards and those being formulated , PLD is also launching a "brand new" newsletter
this month for all PLD members!
