Dear Members,
One year ago at the 14th ITF Congress Meeting in Warsaw (Poland), I accepted the responsibility of the presidency of the ITF. In my acceptance speech (120 kB), I outlined my vision of a great future for the ITF as a modern, democratic organization operating according to the authentic Taekwon-Do philosophy conceived by our Founder, the late General Choi Hong Hi.
The goal of the ITF management team is to serve its members. In fact, the first of the Guiding Principles I listed in that speech reads:
The ITF belongs to its members; it must work for its members and with its members to provide the services they need and want.
Almost every day I receive e-mails and telephone calls from individuals interested in joining the ITF clear evidence that TKD practitioners around the world are looking for such an organization.
Of course, it takes a lot of hard work and I want to emphasize that I mean teamwork to modernize the operations of an international organization, as your ITF management team has been doing over the past year. The future of the ITF is too important to be left to improvisation, so we started by laying a solid foundation. A modernized Constitution was ratified by the 14th Congress Meeting; We have introduced By-Law No. 1 as well as various policies and procedures. The mandate of each member of the team and of each of the Standing Committees was described; we defined their objectives and outlined detailed action plans.
And that was only the beginning!
Because these documents are all based on the Guiding Principles outlined in my speech (120 kB) and were written in a spirit of harmony and for the express purpose of ensuring a great future for Taekwon-Do, their usefulness has been recognized by ITF-affiliated organizations, which have started to apply them in their operations. I am very pleased to see that it is becoming almost automatic for everyone to turn to those fundamental documents when they have an enquiry or a problem situation.
Our goal is to have all ITF-affiliated organizations working in harmony for the good of the ITF and all its members.
The ITF is a unique TKD organization, unlike any of the others in that it is run on democratic principles. We can all be proud to be members of the ITF, proud because of:
And finally, I believe we can all be proud of what has been accomplished in one year. The ITF is better organized, more efficient, and more responsive to the needs and wants of its members than ever before in its history. Working together in harmony, we will continue to strive to prove ourselves worthy heirs of General Choi.
I am pleased to announce that recently the TKD association of Hong Kong was accepted as a member of the ITF. Membership applications from the TKD associations of Japan, Russia, India and Wales are currently being processed. A warm welcome to all our new members in countries around the globe!
To sum up, I would like to repeat what I said in the conclusion of my speech (120 kB) last year:
I can assure you that each one of you will be able to find your place in our ITF.
In fact, you will find your sweet home in the ITF.
It is an honor for me to hold the office of president of the ITF, and I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve our organization. I encourage each one of you to participate actively in its bright future.
I am counting on you for feedback and suggestions; please feel free to write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Is there a tutorial, or could someone go through the steps to make the list in the seven layouts forum? I can copy the links to my layouts, but don't know how to connect that to the seven titles that connect to the links.
Not a problem with the website, just with me. I didn't know where else to ask. Hope it makes sense.

It's our cities' most dirty little secret that our stormwater is being routed directly into our sewer systems," explains Tom Barrett, owner of Green Water Infrastructure, an Indianapolis-based landscape consulting company that integrates water resources for sustainable site development. "It doesn't take an extremely hard rainfall to overwhelm our sewer system. Almost any rainfall over .25 inch overwhelms it."
Barrett receives dozens of Raw Sewage Overflow Warnings issued by the city of Indianapolis every month.
Yet, Indianapolis is just one of 180 U.S. cities identified by the EPA for stormwater sewage overflow problems. "It's going to cost the city of Indianapolis $1.7 billion to build a deep enough tunnel to separate the stormwater from the sewer to prevent overflow during heavy rains," says Barrett. "Yet, if enough rain gardens and bioswales were built to handle the stormwater runoff, cities like Indianapolis could save 60 percent of that cost, eliminating the need for building massive curbs, gutters, storm drains and retention ponds."
What exactly are rain gardens and bioswales, and why have they become one of the tried-and-true methods of alleviating the problem of stormwater?
Rain gardens, typically 100 to 300 square feet, remain dry yet retain water during storms. These modestly sized depressions are generally planted with shrubs, grasses and other attractive native and adapted plants. Although they may look like regular perennial garden under most conditions, they're much more. A rain garden collects and holds rainwater runoff from impervious surfaces like rooftops, parking lots, roadways, driveways, sidewalks and even lawns, and allows it to soak into the soil instead of running into storm drains. Compared to a patch of lawn, a rain garden allows about 30 percent more water to soak into the ground. In most cases it takes just a day or two for the rainwater to soak into the soil.
Bioswales, similar to rain gardens, have an additional element of a subsurface underdrain - usually a corrugated pipe that feeds into the stormwater system. The key difference between the two is that bioswales are a conveyance system designed more for cleaning and processing water as well as redirecting it (usually away from a road or lot), while rain gardens are collectors designed to absorb stormwater. You can even have a rain garden at the end of a bioswale - they can work in tandem.
Rain gardens, bioswales and other rain water harvesting technologies like permeable pavers, green roofs and xeriscapes are exciting "green" opportunities for landscapers. The entire country is buzzing about water conservancy, with many states and municipalities implanting mandatory water restrictions and offering incentives. Adding a rain garden gives concerned customers the opportunity to make a difference within their communities.
"The old days of corralling stormwater to channel it off-site are over," says Barrett. "Contemporary designs demand that homeowners and businesses hold onto their water - for as long as 48 hours - to avoid overwhelming natural wetlands, estuaries, lakes, streams and sewer systems."
Cities such as Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, New York, Kansas City, Washington, D.C., Nashville and Indianapolis are coming up with aggressive greenscaping programs that include rain gardens and bioswales. Although most of these programs are too new to gather and calculate precise dollars-and-cents savings, some of the early returns are promising.
Indianapolis is implementing a massive bioretention rain garden program in its central city area that's expected to retain and store 100 percent of all stormwater when rainfall amounts are an inch or less. The goal is to keep the water out of the storm sewer. On average, the bioretention areas for all rain events are projected to hold 240,000 gallons of rain runoff annually, equating to keeping 91 percent of all annual rainfall runoff from the combined sewer system.
This is not a new idea. In one experimental area, Seattle has already reduced runoff by 97 percent the year after converting an open ditch stormwater drain to an attractive roadside bioswale garden.
Landscapers seizing the rain garden and bioswale opportunity with municipal, commercial or residential properties aren't finding it exactly a cakewalk when it comes to maintenance and performance issues. Seasoned rain garden installers agree it's not like you can just find a depressed area, plunk down some pretty perennials near a downspout and watch the water magically disappear after the next downpour.
"Every situation in creating a rain garden is different depending on various factors," says Jerry Orkin, Landscapes Solutions in Nashville. "Is it in the sun or shade? What is the soil type? It depends on so many environmental factors." Landscape Solutions has been installing rain gardens within a 10-mile radius of downtown Nashville in conjunction with two local nonprofits: Cumberland River Compact and Hands on Nashville.
Diane Downey, owner of Yard Fairy in arid San Diego, started installing rain gardens in her customers' yards because they wanted to save water from rushing off their properties during the city's infrequent yet intense downpours, while at the same time creating beautiful spaces.
"Before I jumped in, I learned all I could about the science of rainwater harvesting including how our local soils behave, making calculations on how much water each rain garden surface could handle and knowing which plants benefit most form an influx of water," says Downey. "I would advise others to do the same."
Sabrina Schweyer of Salsbury-Schweyer, Akron, Ohio, agrees with Downey that landscapers need to acquire knowledge before offering greenscaping options to customers. Being unprepared can reflect poorly on the entire industry, she adds. Her landscape design firm installed its first residential bioswale 10 years ago.
"Improper installations of rain gardens are extremely detrimental to our industry," says Schweyer. "The public will embrace these nature-based systems only if they work well and add beauty to their properties long-term. If unsuccessful, then they will lose trust in our profession and abilities.
"These systems must be designed not only to function correctly, but to be beautiful and sustainable years from now. You'll need an in-depth understanding of natural systems (particularly water and soils), herbaceous and woody plants, excellent design talents, plus knowledge of how to maintain rain gardens and fix them if there are problems."
Schweyer adds that rain gardens and bioswales are best designed by multidisciplinary teams (landscape architects, landscapers and environmental engineers) because these projects are usually more aesthetic and successful.
Many university extension offices and professional landscaping associations now offer classes on rain garden and bioswale installation and maintenance. Rutgers University Extension in partnership with USDA National Water Program offers one-and-a-half day training classes in eight mid-Atlantic and New England states.
Rain garden and bioswale projects are not just a hit-and-run artifice for landscapers.
Rutgers University Cooperative Extension tells their rain garden and bioswale students that just as the design of rain gardens follows traditional principles, so, too, should their maintenance. You have to cut back growth in the spring and remove debris and mulch. The systems need a bit more attention after their initial installation. Topsoil erosion and plant establishment are very important to make sure the system takes root successfully. Weeding is critical in the first few months after planting; pruning of any dense shrub growth is necessary; regular mowing down to 6 to 8 inches of top growth is recommended early on in spring as is the removal of any excess sediment.
"Maintenance is required, but there's not any maintenance plan specific to a rain garden," says Orkin. "We go in and prune once a year. If the rain garden has an overflow pipe, you might have to keep the overflow basin cleared."
Greenscape manufacturers have been promoting permeable pavers and green roofs for years, but now many, including ABS Materials, Aquascapes and Filtrexx, are starting to feature new systems, additives, designs and educational materials specifically for rain gardens. That's a good sign for the growing niche of rain garden and bioswale installation and maintenance.

On Sunday 2nd March, the Irish Taekwon-Do Association welcomed Master Per Andresen VIII Degree from Norway to the City North Hotel in Dublin to conduct a business development & technical seminar. The event was organised by the ITA business development committee and Master Andresen was assisted by Mr Gunnar Alexander Rugsveen 3rd Dan, while Mr Paco Ferrando from Spain, President of FEST and member of the ITF Marketing & Development Committee and Ms Tiziana Mimmocchi Bos, member of FITAE Italy and wife of Grandmaster Bos, also travelled to Dublin for the seminar.
Master Andresen is the chief instructor of Trondheim Taekwon-Do club, a club with almost 1,500 members based in Norway, he is also the President of National Taekwon-Do Norway (NTN), the National Association of Norway and one of the largest and most progressive groups in the ITF with over 10,000 practicing members.
The day began with a three-hour business seminar attended by over 30 instructors from around the country, Master Andresen explained his instruction philosophy and the importance of encouraging happy & enthusiastic students before explaining the Norwegian requirements for grading. The Master also explained the structure of the NTN and its clubs, providing plenty of ideas for the ITA instructors in attendance
After a lunch break, Master Andresen, assisted by Mr Rugsveen, conducted a technical seminar, this was attended by a wide range of grades from colour belt to Master level and began with patterns from Chon Ji up to Ul-Ji. This was followed up by a number of dynamic kicking drills from the Norwegian grading syllabus, these drills were progressive, starting with easier drills for lower grades and progressing in difficulty for higher grades.
At the end of the seminar, ITA President, Master Wheatley presented Master Andresen with a special gift of a hand-crafted pen, made from 5,000 year old Irish Bog Oak, as well as a personalised ITA portfolio and a gold ITA Masters tie, Mr Rugsveen was also presented with an ITA Blackbelt tie. All the ITA instructors in attendance received the newly designed ITA tablecloth free of charge.
In a very generous gesture, Master Andresen donated his entire fee for the seminar to the ITF Africa Development Fund. Overall it was a very interesting & informative day that provided plenty of new ideas and insights for all instructors and students in attendance from both a business and technical point of view. Thank you must be paid to Master Andresen & Mr Rugsveen for making the trip to Ireland, we look forward to welcoming them back again in the future.

There's been renewed interest in altered wheelbase cars lately, and why not? They're sick to look at, fun to drive, and years away from becoming belly-button pass. The few original cars that surface every now and then are too valuable, too frail, or are ridiculously dangerous to be driven or raced, but who needs an original? You can build one yourself, and we're here to show how using basic construction techniques and a little bit of freestyle ingenuity.
They're called Match Bash cars, and one of the leading practitioners of the wheel-base surgery is Seattle's Richard LeFebvre. Rich's creations can be viewed online at www.performanceking.com, and many have graced these pages in the last few years. Here, for the first time, Rich demonstrates the Match Bash wheelbase alteration technique on a '64 Fairlane 500. These basic techniques are applicable to practically any unibody car.
Moving the Front Wheels
Although this story focuses on what it takes to relocate the rear suspension, complete Match Bash altered wheelbase insanity is only attained when the front wheels are also shoved ahead some. The easiest way to accomplish this goal is to trash the stock front suspension and replace it with a straight axle and a set of buggy springs. Rich wasn't finished with the steering when we snapped these photos, but the rest of the nose is mocked up and ready for welding. Check it out.

The team behind New Orleans' wildly popular Cure, cited as one of the best American bars of 2011 by the likes of Esquire and Travel & Leisure, are at it again. Neil Bodenheimer and Kirk Estopinal have recently unveiled Bellocq, a lounge located at the recently renovated Hotel Modern, formerly known as Hotel Le Cirque. The developers of this new venture hope to bring about the same type of revitalization to Lee Circle as was seen with Freret Street following Cure's popularity.
Bellocq aims to focus on a time period that may seem foreign to the clientele, ranging from the 1820s to 1900, garnering its namesake from E.J. Bellocq, well known for his haunting photographs of prostitutes in the red light district of Storyville. The influences of the era can be found on the bar's menu, which offers variations of cobblers, cocktails that traditionally include apertif wines, sugar, fresh fruit, and crushed ice. The bar has an updated boudoir decor with red walls, a zinc bar and drinks served on a silver tray. While Bodenheimer and Estopinal hope to provide a different type of drinking establishment, they understand what it takes for one to move out of their comfort zone. A unique, but small wine selection and hard to find 22-ounce beers sold by the glass will be available, as well as standard drinks.

Vickroy: High school librarian shares her bootstraps story
BY DONNA VICKROY email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy March 18, 2013 3:16PM
In her book "Releasing Your Story," author Ann Marie Bryant helps women interpret events in their lives and hone in on change. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: April 20, 2013 6:07AM
Ann Marie Bryant was sitting on a $1 sofa she had bought at an auction when she first realized she had hit bottom.
She was broke, getting by on welfare, stuck in a bad marriage, trying to care for two small children and worried her cancer would come back.
"It was a very difficult time, mentally, physically and emotionally," she said.
"I was sitting there asking myself, 'How did it all go wrong? How did this happen to me?' " she said. "This was not my plan."
Indeed it was not.
How Bryant — now the learning resource center director at Richards High School in Oak Lawn — had sunk so low is an important chapter in her life. How she pulled herself out is even more significant.
Today, she holds two master's degrees and is the author of a book, with a second in the works.
But more than celebrate her success, the Valparaiso, Ind. resident is determined to help others, particularly women, find their way out of demise.
"With all the gloom and doom of the economy — unemployment and foreclosures — I now think about how lucky I have been to overcome things," she said. "I have a story to tell and I can help others."
Her story begins in Dolton. As the only child of an Ecuadorian immigrant, she grew up wearing designer clothes.
"I had a charmed childhood," she said. "I remember going to school wearing $200 shoes in the '80s."
She attended Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, all the while her sights set on a bright future. She went on to college and earned a degree in Spanish education.
And then her life took a 180.
She married impulsively, couldn't find a teaching job. She got pregnant.
When she was pregnant with her second child, who is just 14 months younger than her first, her doctor noticed a lump in her throat.
She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
After the baby was born, Bryant underwent radioactive iodine therapy, a treatment so toxic she wasn't able to touch her children for weeks after.
She received the therapy at the hospital and had to stay until she "was not more radioactive than a UPS package," she was told.
It was tough but it worked. She is 17 years cancer-free.
Though Bryant didn't want to go into details regarding her bad marriage and the time she spent getting by on welfare, she said everything came to a head right after she bought that $1 sofa.
"I had two small children, and right then I decided to stop being a victim and get myself out of this mess," she said.
Her journey toward a new life began with self-revelation and honesty.
"I ultimately had to release several stories about myself in order to break through my own glass ceiling and make a way for myself and my family," she said.
She landed a part-time job as a children's librarian, borrowed some money from family and got herself into graduate school. She also got a divorce and since has remarried.
"Since then I have earned two master's degrees, one in library science and the other in clinical mental health counseling," she said. "I am financially secure in a career that I love."
Now, she said, she feels compelled to share her experiences as well as her hope. Her process is aimed at women who can't see the opportunities for the obligations in their life.
"We're so consumed by all the things we have to do in a day that the thought of taking on something more, something big, is just overwhelming," she said.
But it doesn't have to be.
Through her workbook-like paperback, "Releasing Your Story: A Path to Rediscovery," Bryant helps women interpret events in their lives and hone in on change. The book is available for $24.95 online at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
Bryant is also the founder of passionisthekey.com, through which she offers skills and resources to women who want to get out of their stressful rut.
It is amazing what can be accomplished when people release self-defeating thoughts that have been holding them back, she said.
"Although I am proud of my accomplishments, I do not believe they are out of the ordinary," she said. "Anyone can improve their life."
Tinley student visits Rome
Elizabeth "Biz" Hyzy, of Tinley Park, has been studying abroad in Florence, Italy, this semester. She was in Rome the weekend before the papal conclave elected Jorge Mario Bergoglio to the papacy.
Hyzy, an Andrew High School graduate and a junior at Lake Forest College, said talk about the new pope is still very prominent in Florence.
"My parents are actually visiting me right now," she said, via Facebook messaging. "We found out about the new pope while at dinner with my two roommates, one roommate's parents and our host family. The chef came out to announce the news."
While Hyzy was raised Catholic, she does not consider herself to be one anymore.
"However, I do realize how rare and important of a moment this is in history," she said. "Unfortunately, we didn't hear any bells (which apparently were supposed to ring all over Italy)."
Overall, she said, the news is cause for celebration and subsequent analysis.
"People suspect that (the cardinals) chose a very strict pope that happens to be older so that in the limited time he has he can whip the church into shape, and then it can level out again after his time," she said.

Dear Readers,
I regret to inform you that the Merritt News has decided to cease publication. The last issue will be published next Thursday (Aug. 2, 2012).
The closure is due to economic reasons. The paper is operating at a loss and has not performed financially as we expected for an extended period of time.
We do not project being able to return the operation to a profitable position and have therefore made the difficult decision to cease operations.
We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our staff, contractors and carriers for their many years of service.
We also want to thank our readers and advertisers for their loyal patronage over the past 21 years.

The 7th annual Kelly Guffey Race to Remember 5K Competitive and Recreational Run/Walk takes place at 8 a.m. Saturday. The race begins and ends at First United Methodist Church, 301 W. Main St., Dallas.
Kelly was diagnosed with cancer in April 2003 and died Jan. 11, 2006, about two months prior to her 33rd birthday. A graduate of North Gaston High School, where she was a cheerleader, Kelly taught in Charlotte before her diagnosis prompted her to pursue her dream of being a nurse.
Extensive operations and treatments did not prevent her from completing her nursing degree in 2005 and working for three months on the pediatric ward at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte before her passing.
Registration for the race is $20 for the run/walk; a kids' fun run is free. Awards will be given to the top male and female placers in their age groups. Participants can register race day.
The race funds the $1,000 Kelly Guffey Memorial Nursing Career Scholarship awarded annually to a North Gaston student pursuing a nursing career.
For more information, visit www.rememberkelly.org.

Now that many school libraries are evolving into media centers, the job of the school librarian, or media specialist, is changing as well. This fall, Mobile County school officials began a pilot "digital literacy" program at 16 schools to revamp the media centers, and the duties of the librarians who run them. Via Karen Bonanno

Re-thinking is essential! Renewal is essential!
School libraries have a significant demonstrated effect in raising reading levels, providing learning opportunities, lifting achievement levels, and mitigating the effects of poverty. Advocacy is needed to raise awareness of their role. Via Bookmarking Librarian
Does information literacy mean anything after university? Is the concept recognised by careers advisers, professional and accreditation bodies, employers and others with an interest in know-how, skill and employability? Via Karen Bonanno
With this in mind, Haycock has been researching different ways to advocate. If we are going to use the studies, we need to stress that the important component is not the library facility or collection. We need to impress that a certified and committed LIBRARIAN is what is invaluable. He went on to share some other ways to approach advocacy. Via Karen Bonanno

This statement in Dr. Cathryn Ann Smith's dissertation abstract struck me: "Seven elements were found to promote critical reflection and agency of teacher leaders: action research, learning-focused conversations, dialogue, self-assessment, peer feedback, journals and critical reflection." These elements are important aspects of graduate-level school library education.

Hello everyone,
Do you use the Dewey Decimal Classification at your school? Can your kids figure out what "142.780973" means? Would they know where to find the "Sports" books? Using this logic, many schools are wondering if they and their students might be better served using a book-store model, or genres, when it comes to their fiction collection…. but where to begin?

From anecdotal evidence a similar situation exists in Australian schools. Limited access to ereading devices and infrastructure plus costs and ownership of ebooks contribute to slow growth. Also, is a downloadable PDF an ebook. I think not. Embedded interactivity is needed to create the uniqueness and flexibility in content delivery for students.

In advocating for our school library programs, we must identify our stakeholder priorities, develop a mission statement that aligns with our district and school mission, develop programming that will meet the needs of our stakeholders and collect data that doesn't just represent the number of books we check out each month, but really connects to the mission of our district and demonstrates how we support student growth. Via Karen Bonanno
Lourense Das's insight:
Again, and again and again, we need to advocate for school libraries. In other words, never stop advocating school libraries. Here are a few tools.
There are many areas of media literacy. Media Literacy Project has a wonderful document that presents the components of media literacy in a straightforward fashion and includes useful lists of the various concepts of this literacy. Their definition of media literacy is "the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media messages of all kinds." Via Karen Bonanno

Stay Organized with the Best Tool Storage
Sears has a wide selection of tool storage to fit any space and any number of tools. The last thing you need while you are in the midst of a project is to lose a vital tool. These storage solutions allow you to find what you need when you need it. We have multi-drawer tool chests that conveniently sit atop a workstation for easy access. We offer bottom rollaway chests that allow you to take even your heaviest tools with you wherever you go. Need both? Don't purchase them separately. We offer tool chest combos, work carts and even full project centers to suit your all of your needs.
Tool storage drawers are made to fit a variety of items. Many have at least one large drawer for holding bulky items and those of irregular shapes. It can be difficult to adequately store Bench Grinder Accessories like cutting and honing wheels. The circular shape of the larger wheels creates a challenge for those without access to oversized drawers. We can help you with this problem even if you already own an otherwise adequate tool chest. You can easily add a single drawer middle chest to your system to fit these accessories and more.
Tool storage is not for tools alone. Sandpaper is a supply that is needed for almost every job. Keep your sandpaper easy-to-find and organized by using a sandpaper portfolio. The Craftsman 9x11 Portfolio holds up to 50 pieces of sandpaper. Keeping your sandpaper organized guarantees that you can find the right grit for the job. It also helps to keep your sandpaper from becoming crushed or folded. Larger sanding accessories are easily stored in any tool chest.
Power strips are offered with some chests and workstations, like the Extreme Tools 30" Portable Workstation. Some tools instead need Tool Chargers. A smaller area can use a compact battery charger to keep batteries juiced without using valuable workspace. Larger areas can take advantage of tool chargers with multiple ports so that many tools can stay charged at once. We also have a wide selection of spare batteries. Keeping extra batteries charged and available assures you that your portable tools will always have the energy to complete even the biggest jobs.
Large and small spaces alike must be well-organized in order to function in the best way possible. Make your workspace free from clutter with tool storage that fits your needs. Look through the wide selection of tool chests and workstations available through Sears to find the perfect solution for you. Purchase your next tool chest today so that you can start working on your next project tomorrow.

text: By Brian Liskai - UNOH All Star Championship Racing PR(Camargo, IL) The battle for the University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions championship in the Ohio Region – and its $20,000 top prize – is heating up with just a handful of races remaining in 2012. And the pressure will mount as the teams prepare for a big Labor Day Weekend triple-header.The teams will head to Sarver, Pa. to the Lernerville Speedway on Friday, August 31st. The following day they will help Attica Raceway Park close out its 2012 season on Saturday, September 1st, followed the next day, Sunday, September 2nd, with the second appearance of the series at the NAPA Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway near Orrville, Ohio.Three-time UNOH All Star champion Dale Blaney currently leads three-time series champion Tim Shaffer by just 73 points in the Ohio Region. Shaffer looks to become only the third driver in the history of the UNOH All Stars to win his fourth straight national title. Blaney had eight series wins in 2012 to run his career total to 92, just six away from tying hall-of-famer Kenny Jacobs atop the all-time win list. Shaffer has five series wins in 2012 and now has 50 for his career.When the UNOH All Stars head to Attica on Saturday, they will again be faced with tackling the track's tough weekly competition. Earlier this year, Craig Mintz, who looks to become the track's champion for 2012 and has three wins this season, passed Blaney on the last lap to score his first ever All Star win. Blaney got a late race pass of Stevie Smith the previous night during the Spring Nationals, to score the win.

Oral History Program Frances Seppi Francis Interviewed by Marci Farr 6 October 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Frances Seppi Francis Interviewed by Marci Farr 6 October 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Frances discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr and we are interviewing Fran Francis. She is a graduate of St. Benedict's School of Nursing. She graduated in 1954. It's October 6, 2010 and we're interviewing her via telephone. She lives in Nevada City, California. Tell us a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, a little bit about your family and also where you attended school. FF: I was born in Kemmerer, Wyoming. My parents were Italian immigrants so I'm first generation here. My mother died when I was 3 ½ and I was raised by a grandmother and a maiden aunt to the age of eleven. My father remarried at that time so we moved with him and his new family to Utah. That's what puts me in Utah. I had an extended family of aunts and uncles and cousins so I had a lot of support in that way. MF: That's good. Where did you attend school at? Did you graduate from Ogden High? FF: I did. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? I guess that's the classic question. FF: My grandmother, the one that had raised me, had a massive stroke. They couldn't do anything for her at that time. Each of her senses left one by one as the clot deteriorated in her brain. So eventually she was incompetent and my 2 aunt was caring for her at home but then could no longer do it. It was just too much. So our local hospital took her. They had no nursing homes then. So she was in the wing of the hospital but sort of pushed off into a corner. They said they didn't have time to feed her. She had to be fed so I would go up after school and feed her. I was about seven or eight. Even as young as I was, I observed that she was not cared for very well; maybe because she wasn't a real, so-called 'patient'. She was always in a mess and she had huge bed sores and was there for a whole year. I had the opportunity to observe this and I always thought, I want to be a nurse but not that kind of nurse. That's where I got it. I always wanted to be a nurse. I never wanted to do anything else. MF: Why did you select St. Benedicts'? FF: First of all, I'm Roman Catholic and I think I wanted that influence in my life, that of the nuns. They were very giving and spiritual and good role models for young girls. MF: Was this your first time away from home when you attended nurses training? FF: I lived in Ogden with a step mother and my father. I did get a scholarship to help pay for it. It was very expensive for someone in my financial situation. MF: What was your cost? FF: The tuition was $300 for three years. It included books, tuition, uniforms, room and board, everything but personal spending money. MF: Was it a Bamburger Scholarship that you received? 3 FF: No, I think it was an Elk or something like that. I don't even remember what it was- an organization in town. In lue of low tuition we worked long hours. Essentially the students ran the hospital. MF: Yes, I'm sure they probably did. FF: In those days we had a lot of latitude. We did a lot of things that people probably wouldn't do now. MF: You had such responsibility and you learned from it and became great nurses. FF: Yes. We were very good nurses. St. Benedict's had a wonderful reputation in the community and around the area for the nurses they produced. MF: So the word was spread that you were good nurses. So tell us a little bit about when you first started training. What were your impressions? FF: It was a little fear of the unknown and like you say, leaving home for the first time, even though I was not unhappy to leave. I didn't go back home until Christmas that year. MF: Oh, wow. FF: It was a good thing. I had skipped a grade so I was only seventeen when I went. I had worked as an aide the summer before I went into nurses training, so I had a little idea of what I might be getting into. But really I had no idea. It was new. It was different. It was kind of exciting being away from home for the first time. MF: That's good. Who was your roommate while you were in training? FF: My roommate was Sally Leonardi. I'll tell you that she was the best nurse of any of us. MF: That's too bad. 4 FF: We started out with twenty four and only twelve graduated. MF: That is a big drop. FF: It was hard both mentally and physically. MF: I'm sure. That would be. So who was your roommate after she left? Did you have a roommate after she left? FF: I did. I don't even remember who they were. They were not memorable. MF: That's okay. Tell us a little bit about your classmates. Do you remember anything about them, maybe some funny stories or things that happened while you were in training? FF: Well, I will say that you really become close because of your shared experiences. Some you didn't like at all and some, like Sally, and a couple of other girls, were special people. We still meet about once a year to catch up and just to be together. MF: So did you guys ever break curfew, or try to sneak in? FF: Oh, yes. That was kind of fun-not going to bed at the right time. The nuns used to patrol the halls and make sure all the lights were out at a certain time. MF: Tell us a little bit about the Sisters. What do you remember most about them? FF: I would say they were strict and demanding. We respected them very much. They expected a lot and they got it because of their high expectations. MF: Who were some of your favorite Sisters that you remember? FF: Sister Berno was good. There was a nun in the kitchen and I can't even remember her name. She used to work in the diet kitchen. She was very-I'm talking like her-very, very direct with the diet kitchen. 5 MF: Oh, was it Sister Bonafice? FF: Yes! Sister Bonafice. She was very persnickity and very precise. I can remember she had coke bottle glasses which made her look very old. One day she took off her glasses and I nearly died. Her face was the most beautiful thing you ever saw. She was quite young with beautiful eyes. She didn't match her voice in her looks. MF: Oh, how interesting. I love it. Was Jean Morton Barker there at that time? FF: Yes, she was and she was also very strict, very professional. I'll tell you a little story. I was frightened to death, even though I had been an aide during the summer, my first time caring for a patient for maybe AM or PM care. That was our first clue into that world. I was standing outside the door of my patients' room and I was afraid to go in. I was just kind of trembling. And she came by and pushed me in. Then there I was. MF: That would be kind of scary. FF: It was scary. MF: We interviewed her a couple weeks ago. She's so darling. Loved talking with her. She's so cute. FF: She's still alive? MF: Yes, she is. FF: Is she really old? MF: I don't even know but she's so good. She's sharp as a tact and still gets around by herself. She's amazing. 6 FF: Really? Oh, yes. Not only was she prim and proper but she always looked just perfect. Her clothes, her cap, her uniform were always perfect. MF: She's cute. FF: Is she in a rest home or something? MF: No, she's at her house still and takes care of herself. FF: Really? Well, I'm seventy six so I can't even imagine. Of course then, you know how age is- when you're seventeen, thirty is old. Did somebody tell you about the car going over in the dam? MF: Who told us about that? Did she tell us about that? Yeah. FF: She might have because she was involved, since a couple of them died. MF: One of them was your instructor right? FF: Yes. McKeller. There was another one. Goldie. Her nickname was Goldie. She wasn't an instructor. She was a nurse that worked at the hospital. That was very sad. MF: She told us about that. You get so used to having these people there it would be devastating. FF: Yes. It was a real tragedy for the hospital and for everyone involved. MF: That would be hard. Tell us about some of your classes. Which ones were your favorites, that you liked the most and enjoyed the most? FF: I think my favorite was anatomy and physiology and Sister Estelle taught that. MF: We've heard a lot about her. FF: I was trying to think of some of the other things-The Elements of Nursing. We had to know who the author of that book was. We always had to put that on 7 everything. The Elements of Nursing and then who it was by. We had pharmacology and medical ethics but I think I was always more interested in the touchable stuff than the book stuff. MF: That's good. Do you remember any of the doctors that you worked with? Tell us a little bit about them. FF: Oh, yes. Well, we had some prima donnas who were really just unbelievable. No one would put up with it these days. They'd have tantrums, throw instruments and do just real awful stuff. MF: That would be awful. FF: Yes, it was. Are you a nurse yourself? MF: I'm not. FF: Oh, you're not. Okay. Nurses wouldn't put up with that today. I'm trying to think of our worst-Doctor Howe. I don't know if anyone has mentioned him. I worked in surgery a lot so you're a little closer than on the floor. MF: That's true. FF: So you get to see these people at their best and at their worst. MF: I'm sure. That would be interesting to see the difference. FF: From what is was to what it is now. Yes. MF: Exactly. FF: We had really nice doctors too, I mean normal. But there were a few who really thought they were special and put people down and were just awful. We were frightened of the doctors as young students. MF: That would be. They can intimidate you. Was Doctor Swindler there at that time? 8 FF: Yes. He was great. MF: He taught and he also had surgery, right? FF: Yes. He was terrific. MF: Which of the rotations when you were on the different floors was your favorite that you enjoyed the most? FF: I think it was surgery because that's what I went into after I graduated. MF: Oh, okay. Which one was probably your least favorite? FF: We had a few tuberculosis patients and that was the only disease I was kind of afraid of so when I had to work there I was a little fearful of it. MF: That would make you nervous. FF: Really, it's not that contagious. MF: No. Probably just the unknown. FF: Yes and just that although we worked with polio patients too I never had the same feeling about polio. MF: That is interesting. Do you have a favorite patient that you remember while you were in training? FF: Well we all remember, and I bet more people than one remember Mr. Esterly. He was a sheep herder and he came into the hospital from out in the boonies and he had cancer of the lower jaw. His whole jaw was full of maggots. MF: Oh wow. FF: Yes. Has anyone ever talked about this patient? MF: Somebody mentioned him. Francis Bird mentioned him. FF: Oh, she did? 9 MF: Yes, but I wasn't here so you can tell the story. FF: He just came in and it was something you've never seen and you'd never see again. To see these worms eating this guys jaw! It was pretty bad. There's not another one like him. It's the same guy if you hear about him with maggots in his jaw. I had a few patients in our psych rotation and one was Mr. Jones. He was a young man. He was obsessive compulsive and he would say, "She kept 'em shut." "She kept 'em shut." That's about all he said. The unit wasn't very large, maybe ten or twelve patients in psych rotation. I don't even think that the Dee Hospital had a psych unit. MF: I don't think they did. They went to Provo for theirs. FF: Well, we as student nurses wouldn't do this now. We would work nights and I had one aide. I think I may have been a second year student. I'd have to have been. Maybe even third, I'm not sure. We would work the night shift which would be eleven to seven. We would put these patients into insulin coma. Now we had to calculate the insulin according to how much the patient weighed and there were a lot of other things. Then give them the shot and that would put them into a coma and then you had to check to see how far down in the coma they were because they'd start out light and get heavier as you go down. Then when the morning shift came on, they would give them electric shock therapy. So when I think back on it now, doing that, oh my gosh. MF: Isn't that crazy? It's just unreal that in today's world you just don't know how many twenty year old teenagers would be able to do that. It's just unreal. It wouldn't happen. 10 MF: Did you go to Denver? FF: Yes, we did. MF: Tell us about going to Denver for pediatric rotation. FF: I went with my two other friends. Sally had gone by then. It was very exciting for most of us because we were going to have a private room. That was the highlight of the whole thing. It really was because the rooms we had were small and no privacy. That was a big thing. We didn't have a pediatric unit at St. Benedict's. It was really hard to see so many children so sick. Denver Children's was kind of a renowned hospital in the area. I think they drew from a huge area so they had the sickest of the sick. We saw things that you normally wouldn't see. MF: Oh, absolutely. I'm sure. Tell us a little bit about your capping ceremony. Do you remember where it took place? FF: It took place in the living room at the nursing home. It was the most exciting, thrilling thing in my life at that time. To get your cap was really exciting. We had beautiful caps. I don't know if you've ever seen them, but nobody wears them now, of course. You looked like a nurse then. It was very exciting and they always did things first class. It was beautiful and very well done. What else can I say? MF: That's good. What was your greatest challenge while in nurses training? FF: Greatest challenge? Thank goodness you sent these questions. I haven't been reading off of this but I can see the question and I put down here "to care for the patients as if they were Christ himself." Sometimes it's easier, sometimes harder. But that's their motto at St. Benedict's. 11 MF: That would be hard, especially if they were not very nice. FF: Oh, yes because you have the gamut from nice to rotten. I'll tell you about something that's kind of interesting. Maybe no one else would say. We used to get, there's a monastery- Huntsville Monastery? MF: Yes, up in Huntsville. FF: They had these monks, young monks and they would come to be patients. One of them was really, really cute! So it was sort of a fight to be the one to care for them. MF: Tell us a little bit about graduation. Was your family able to come and what were your impressions about finally making it through? FF: My family came and it was again, a first class production. It was beautiful. Do you have pictures of us? MF: We have a few pictures of graduation. FF: Honestly, I can always remember because I was so impressed. I hadn't had a bouquet of red roses in my life. We all carried a bouquet. Our uniforms were just beautiful. We got to choose them. I still have mine. I can't fit in it but I have it. MF: What do you remember most about that day? FF: I can remember, someone who signed in my yearbook put, "I hope your money doesn't burn a hole in your pocket," because I was really poor during nurses training. My roommate, Sally, she really helped me out a lot. I didn't have any money. I left home and didn��t go home until Christmas. I left home with nothing because I had a falling out with my parents. I had planned to go to nurses training. My step sister had planned to go and at the last minute she said she 12 wasn't going to go, she was going to get married. So then, my step mother said, well then you can't go-meaning me. I said, well, I'm going. So I said, if you don't take me then I'll find somebody who will. They did take me. They took my stuff up and that was it and I didn't go home until Christmas. My roommate helped a lot. I guess that's why she's just so dear. MF: Absolutely, she would be. What did you do after you graduated? Did you just stay at St. Benedict's? FF: I did. I worked in surgery there for three years after I graduated and Marlene and Joanne, the two other girls, and I got an apartment together right across the street from the hospital. We had to take call a lot so it was very handy to be close. Marlene had married. They made an exception for her as her husband was going to Korea. After he came home and Joanne went back to school, I couldn't keep the apartment by myself so I had to go home. MF: I bet that wasn't very fun. FF: I stayed there for awhile until I met my husband. We married and moved to San Francisco. MF: Well, we appreciate you letting us visit with you. FF: You're welcome.

Twist Hem Sheer Blouse
Beautiful blouse
I really like this blouse. It's so versatile and can be worn with skinny jeans, pencil skirts and shorts. I agree with the 1st review that looks can be deceiving. Buttoned all the way up looks conservative but if you wear it unbuttoned with a cami or bandeau it looks pretty sexy. I got the white and blue turquoise both in XS (5'5", 34C). The turquoise is so pretty! I'm normally a small but it runs a little big so I recommend going down 1 size. I didn't give 5 starts because the material is on the thin side.

Nice Blouse,, its beautifull and make me feel so "bebe"
June 23, 2013
Looks can be deceiving
When I first saw this blouse online, I thought it looked plain & boring. But when I saw it in person on a BeBe stylist at the mall, it actually looks really nice. The BeBe stylist wore it with a cami and also had the blouse unbuttoned. It gave it a totally new look compare to the online look. I highly rec'd this blouse. I bought the white color in xxs. The xs also works well on me but I just like it more fitted.
