Oral History Program June Meyerhoffer & Betty Jo Slater Interviewed by Marci Farr 31 July 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah June Meyerhoffer & Betty Jo Slater Interviewed by Marci Farr 31 July 2008 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 Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ 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.

It was conducted 31 July, 2008 and includes their recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The Interviewer is Marci Farr, and LeAnn Meyerhoffer was also present. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing June Meyerhoffer and Betty Jo Slater at June's home in Marriot-Slaterville. It is July 31, 2008. They graduated in 1945. Tell us about your class. BS: There was fourteen of us that started out. This was in '42 just after the war when Japan bombed us. What was it? February when we came in? JM: Yes. BS: February. JM: Bombed in December the 7th and we went in in February of '42. BS: The hospital just put in this new class extra because of that. MF: Oh good. BS: There was only fourteen of us who started and only seven of us graduated. MF: Really? And you were in 1945, right? Is that the year you graduated? BS: Yes, '45. MF: There was only seven? Did you learn pretty much everything? BS: We did. JM: We did. BS: We even started from the bottom and went up. JM: Nowadays they don't even empty their bed pans but boy we did. MF: You did, though. 2 BS: We did everything. We went to college at the same time. We walked from the nurse's home. You know where the old Dee Hospital was? MF: Yes. BS: We lived in the nurse's home and we walked down there after breakfast to have classes at the college and walked back up to the hospital to eat our lunch, then walked back down to the college. We were on the go constantly. In between that we were working at the hospital, too. MF: Oh good so you had shift work that you had to do? BS: Yes. JM: Yes. MF: So you were on regular shift duty after so long or did they start you off just doing certain things? How did your normal shift go when you were at the hospital? JM: Well we did everything. BS: Yes. JM: In fact, we had what we called chapel and we would have to get up early in the morning and go to chapel. They would have a prayer and a song and a scripture reading. MF: Okay. JM: And then they would give us our assignment for the day. And, of course, if we were fortunate enough to be the bedpan nurse then we would have to get up and started early because they always gave enemas before surgery at that time. They would come in the night before and then we would always have to give 3 them an enema before surgery and they certainly don't do anything like that nowadays. They just take them right straight in. BS: No, no. JM: Then they would assign us our duty on the floor plus our school assignment. MF: You still have that to do too? JM: Yes. MF: So you were kept busy. You learned every part of the hospital, right? You didn't have one specialized area, you learned everything that went on, right? BS: We were assigned. We were six months in the surgical division with the surgery patients, taking care of them. We had six months of the medical division and then we had six months of pediatrics. And six months of the OB which included the delivery room and the OB floor and then the nursery. Oh and the kitchen, in the diet kitchen, we were in the diet kitchen for awhile too. We had to learn the different diets and we had to do some of the cooking too. JM: We ate at the hospital for three years and people complain now, "Oh that hospital food," and they are there for one day and I think, "We ate hospital food for three years." BS: We sure did. We even cooked some of it. MF: That is what everybody has said, that the food was not very good and that they would never eat anything else. One lady said, "I will never eat eggs again." JM: Oh I didn't think it was so bad…some of it, because we didn't have any choice. BS: We didn't. MF: Exactly. 4 BS: And we were hungry because we were walking all that way every single day and using up a lot of energy. MF: Were you roommates for three years? JM: A lot of them changed roommates over a period of time but she and I stuck together through thick and thin. MF: That is great. BS: And when we entered, you know, they assigned us to each other. I mean we didn't know each other, never met before. MF: Yes. BS: I think they just had it on a paper and we were put together because your name started with "S" and my name started with "S." JM: And yours started with "S." MF: That is great. JM: We didn't have cars. We would have to catch the bus for our transportation but usually we walked. And even if we had a date, I remember dating…of course, the military, the Hill Field, was all military at the time. MF: Yes. JM: And I dated several of the military at Hill Field. I remember we had a curfew so we had to be in every night at ten and on Saturday we could be out at twelve. MF: Oh yes. JM: But we had gone to this movie together down Washington and I knew it was going to be late. When we came out I said, "Oh, it is nearly twelve o'clock and they will lock the door on us for sure." I says, "How are we going to get up 5 there?" And he took a hold of my hand and said start running. And we ran from Washington Boulevard up to Harrison, but I was still late. And then we had to have the administrator, the supervisor, take us over to the nursing home. That usually resulted in taking a few privileges away for all of us. BS: You are right. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? BS: Well all through high school I wanted to do something in the medical field. I had high hopes and my aspirations were high…I wanted to be a brain surgeon. That was my one hope when I was in high school. As I grew older and a little more wise I thought, "Well, maybe I just better start nursing at first." So I applied to, I think, a couple of schools in Salt Lake and the Dee Hospital. I lived in Logan. I was born and raised in Logan. MF: Okay. BS: And I wanted to be close to home. We had a hospital there in Logan but there wasn't a nursing school attached to it. So they accepted me in two hospitals in Salt Lake and Ogden. I didn't want to go clear to Salt Lake really because I had to ride the old Bamberger. Do you know what the old Bamberger was like? You get in that and I thought, "I don't want that." So I said, "Well, I will try the Dee and see what they'll do." So that is why I chose the Dee. June why did you? JM: We graduated in June of that year and I registered at Weber State College. And I was in college at the time of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I thought, "I want to do something to, I guess, help my country." MF: Yes. 6 JM: And so when they started this new class in February I joined. MF: Good. JM: I think it was just because of the war that I decided that I would go in and do something for the military. MF: Where did you grow up? JM: I grew up in the same little town that I am living in right now. In Slaterville. MF: When you got up to the nurses home. Was it very strict? How were the rules? BS: We had a housemother. Her name was Mrs. Woods? JM: Yes. BS: She was a very nice lady but she was strict. We had a kitchen that we could sometimes cook in, make candy or cookies or something. We very seldom did that. I hated to clean up afterwards. JM: Well I remember we had food stamps. Sugar was rationed at that time as was most everything else. We had to put our sugar stamps together to get enough sugar to make a batch of fudge. MF: We have heard some good fudge stories. When you were at the hospital, you had class at Weber College and you also had some at the hospital, right? BS: Some of the doctors taught us right there in the nurses home. MF: Oh okay. BS: We had a school room there. MF: Would some of the supervisors teach also, or were they graduate nurses? JM: Lucille Taylor was our supervisor and she taught classes. Miner…she was one of the… 7 BS: Yes. She was a supervisor. JM: …supervisors and she taught us. BS: And she worked in the hospital and taught us also. JM: I can't remember. There was a Mrs. Knapp, in fact, she is in one of the pictures I have got in there. I think she was a teacher, I am not right sure about Mrs. Knapp. BS: I think she was a…did we have anything to do with her? I can't…I remember the name… JM: Well I have got a paper article with Mrs. Knapp's picture in it. I don't really remember. She must have been a teacher. BS: Yes, she must have been. MF: That is good. BS: But I remember a couple of doctors taught us. McQuarry, do you remember McQuarry? JM: Yes. BS: And who else was it? Oh Doctor Fister, he taught us a class on Urology. Anyway, and they came to the nurses home to do that. The rest of the classes were down at Weber College. MF: Were you required to attend church on Sunday if you didn't work? JM: I don't remember of it being a requirement, I attend church but I don't know it was required of us. Do you remember that it was required of us to go to church? BS: No it wasn't but we had to work Sunday a lot of the times. They gave us a regular schedule. We worked all week long. We had one day off a week didn't we? 8 JM: Yes. BS: And if we didn't have to work they didn't make us go to church but June and I usually went. We only lived…it was over a couple of blocks wasn't it? JM: Just a little church, yes. BS: The closest church house to us. JM: We had different faiths within our class. Faye Carpenter, she was a…I can't remember. What was she? A Lutheran. Faye was a Lutheran. BS: Lutheran? Yes, that was Faye wasn't it? JM: That was Faye. BS: Faye was a Lutheran, yes. But I think the rest of us were L.D.S. JM: I think the others…I think they were all L.D.S., yes. BS: Of course, a lot of them didn't go. MF: I know the earlier classes said that they had to say if they went to church. You know, if they were off, they had to go and they had to say yes or no if they attended and they kept track. It was kind of interesting. JM: I think that was optional. MF: It was optional. It was your choice. JM: Because I lived here in Slaterville, my parents could still come and pick me up and I would go with them occasionally to church too. MF: Tell us about your capping ceremony. When did that take place? BS: The what? MF: The capping ceremony. 9 BS: We were in six months. We were called probees for six months and after that the capping ceremony was held right in the nurses home? JM: Where we had our chapels in the morning, just kind of an assembly room or something. BS: Yes. And there were fourteen of us who received our caps. We were so proud. MF: You'd survived six months. JM: We made it! BS: It was just a plain white cap. After six months probation they put a stripe on it so we were a freshman. And when we were juniors we had two and seniors three. And then when we graduated we got the velvet, the black velvet stripe across the brim that way. MF: Okay. So they could tell which one you were? BS: Yes. MF: That is good. Where was your graduation held, do you remember? BS: Down at Weber College. Yes. MF: Okay. And you were the class of '45? BS: Yes. JM: Now we graduated with the class right behind us because there were only the seven of us. MF: Okay. JM: We have our certificate and it has February on the certificate but as far as the exercises itself, we had our exercises with the class just following. BS: They graduated in '45 also. We get a little catalogue every year. 10 JM: The roster with the names of all the… BS: Yes, with the names of everybody who is still alive. They are all…the class of '45 includes those that came in after we had started. MF: Do they do January classes and June classes? Is that usually how they did it? JM: No, usually they had just the one. But after the bombing and the beginning of the war… MF: That is when they did the second class. JM: …they did a second class. MF: That is good to know. What did you do after you graduated? Did you stay in nursing? BS: Yes, we stayed there for a while. We rented an apartment. There was me and you and… JM: Thora. BS: Yes. JM: Did Collette live with us for awhile? BS: No I don't think she… JM: Just Thora. BS: She went back to Wyoming didn't she? JM: Probably. I believe she did. BS: And Norma Jean, she didn't stay. JM: No. And Andy, she didn't. BS: No, she didn't stay either. 11 JM: And Thora stayed…I have got a poem I'm going to have to let you…I have gathered some things up in my bedroom there that I want to show you. But Aunt Millie wrote about the three of us living together in that… BS: Yes. JM: …little apartment. BS: Yes. MF: Did you stay with nursing after you graduated for a little while? Did you stay at the Dee Hospital or did you go elsewhere? What did you do with your nursing career? BS: Well we lived together in that apartment how long? JM: Well we lived until June and I got married in June. BS: And you got married, yes. JM: And I went with my husband. BS: I got married before I graduated and I had a hard time getting them to give me their permission to let me get married. June's cousin, she introduced me to him and we became very friendly. He was to go overseas so we wanted to get married before he went overseas and it was about six months before I graduated. MF: Okay. BS: So I had to get permission from the nursing service, from the head nurse, to get married. JM: One of the ladies climbed out of the window and ran off and got married during our training and she was… BS: She quit. They kicked her out. 12 MF: Was it Ella Merrill? JM: No. MF: It wasn't her? JM: I can't remember her name but that doesn't ring a bell. BS: No. JM: I can't remember who it was but I remember the incident. BS: Yes. JM: Because I think I helped her climb in and out of the window. BS: I think we did once. It wasn't easy, let me tell you. When we first got into the nurses home where we lived, we were put in the basement. It was a lot easier to climb in and out of the basement floor. Then when we became juniors, we were put on the middle floor and then seniors got the… MF: Top. BS: …top floor. It was funny because the basement was the most comfortable. They were supposed to have air conditioning in it but boy, you would never know it. It was hotter those places. When you worked nights, you know, when you worked nights and had to sleep during the day it was miserable. MF: Oh I bet. JM: It was. BS: It was miserable. JM: We were just really wet. I remember laying there in bed and it felt like someone had thrown a bucket of water and you are soaking wet. BS: You would get up and your sheets were just soaking wet. 13 MF: When did you retire from nursing? When did you end your career with nursing? BS: Well June did a lot earlier than I did. JM: I got married in June and my husband was in the Navy. So I went with him and we went to Alameda and the naval port, you know, where the navy was stationed. MF: Yes. JM: I went with him to Alameda and I had gone to the hospital to apply for a job there at Alameda so that I would have something to do while he was at work all of the time. We just got a little apartment. But I just prolonged it and didn't get around to going to the hospital and then the war ended in…when did the war end…September? October? BS: I can't remember. JM: I can't remember for sure either. So I didn't stay in the nursing. Then I got pregnant as soon as I got home and I had six kids. I didn't go back to work. BS: She had her hands full. JM: My six kids kept me busy. MF: Quite busy. They usually do don't they? JM: But Betty Jo…she has worked forever. BS: Forever. I sure did. I worked forever. I married June's cousin and when he came home he started farming out here in Slaterville. We moved out to…I can't remember where we lived…where did we live? JM: Right on the corner. BS: We lived in that apartment in… 14 JM: By Uncle Harold. You lived in there for awhile didn't you? BS: No. Well after he remodeled it but while he was remodeling that house we lived out in…what is that little town just outside of Ogden going south? JM: Farr West? BS: No, going south, straight south. Anyway… JM: Wilson lane? BS: No. Well, it was around Wilson lane, yes. MF: Taylor? JM: I can't remember where you moved. BS: We had an apartment there. Well I worked just as…let us see, I worked in the surgical division for a long time. Was it? This is so long ago I can't remember. All I know is that I worked at the hospital for ages and ages and ages. We wanted children but I couldn't get pregnant so I just kept on working. Then I started working for a couple of doctors. I was charge nurse on the surgical division for all that time. But we had to…we couldn't say I am going to work days and that is it because the students, of course, had to have their turn at days. They had to learn. MF: That is true. BS: We had to take our turn at the three to eleven shifts. I worked a lot of three to eleven because my husband was working in the mornings so I was at home and he could do what he wanted to. I did work a lot of three to eleven. I never did work any eleven to seven. I put my foot down on that. That is a horrible shift. MF: That is right. That ruins your whole day. 15 BS: Yes. Then we adopted a little boy. I am thirty years older than he is. So when I was thirty. We had put our name in. Then you could wait and wait forever. Finally they came up with this little boy for us and he was only two weeks old. I had to take a year off or the adoption wouldn't be legal. MF: Yes. BS: So I went back after we adopted him and I worked three to eleven all the time because then I could take care of him all the time and my husband could take him in the afternoon. Then when he was six they gave us another one, a little girl, so we had two. MF: Good. BS: And I kept working three to eleven after we had adopted and the legal business was over with. MF: Yes. BS: Then I decided that I was getting tired of working in the hospital. A couple of doctors asked me if I would work for them in their office. I said, "Yes, I would love to do that." And they said, "We will pay you just as much as you get here." Because I know they didn't pay, the doctors didn't pay as well as the hospitals. So I worked for Doctors Taylor and Stagg and they were general practitioners. MF: Good. BS: Did you know…I guess you were too young to know about that Catholic school that was on 25th street, that big old castle looking affair. JM: Our apartment was right across the street from it. 16 BS: Across the street, yes. It was there and they tore that down and they built the medical dental building that is there now. MF: Okay. BS: Only they have remodeled it again. They are using it for government I think. MF: Yes. BS: Their offices were there, right there. Living out in Slaterville, it was easy for me to get back and forth. I worked there for years and years and years…eighteen years. JM: I think she just quit the other day. MF: Probably did, huh? BS: I did. I quit. I kept telling those doctors, "I am tired of working, I want to quit." And they said, "Oh, you can't leave us. You can't leave us." We did a lot of surgery in the office. We did a lot of things in the office. I know they appreciated me because I could catheterize people, I could change dressings, I could help them with their surgery. MF: Everything. BS: What somebody just off the street could not do without a lot of training. MF: You were trained, I think, as far as nurses, how to do every single thing in the hospital whereas now they are educated but they are educated to learn how to take care of the monitors, right, don't you think? BS: Yes. JM: They don't have the floor duty that we had. We had floor duty right along with learning and being trained. 17 MF: Yes. BS: But we were six months in the operating room. So we didn't have floor duty then. In the delivery room also, we were right there. MF: That is good. So that served you well. Your training served you really when you got done for your hospital training, for your office. That is great. BS: Yes. JM: Doctor Dumke was a very great surgeon. He had one operating room just for him. All the rest of the doctors shared an operating room. He performed surgery, he operated from morning to night I think. MF: Really? JM: He was a great surgeon. BS: And he was a nice guy to work for. Some of those surgeons…ooh you were on eggs, pins, and needles all the time afraid you are going to give them the wrong instrument or they are going to yell at you for something. MF: Exactly. BS: Some of them would even throw their instruments at you. If you gave them the wrong one they would just throw it at you. "I don't want that!" MF: So you kind of had to be one step ahead of them. BS: Yes, really. Really one step ahead. JM: But I think he did more surgery in Ogden than all the rest of the doctors put together I believe. He was a great surgeon at that time. BS: Yes he was. He would come down the hall and you could hear him coming clear… 18 JM: Thundering down the hall. BS: He was a big guy. He talked at the height of his vocal chords and you could hear him coming and you got all of his charts ready for him so he… JM: "Doctor Dumke is here! Doctor Dumke is here!" BS: Oh dear. MF: Did you know any of the Dee members, the Dee family? Did you associate with any of them or know any of them? BS: I didn't, did you? JM: No. BS: I never saw them even. MF: Did you know Elizabeth Stewart at all? Did you know her? BS: Who? MF: Elizabeth Stewart. Elizabeth Shaw Stewart. BS: No. What was the name of our nursing supervisor when we went in that. That old woman, what was her name? Do you remember? JM: Oh she was quite large. BS: Yes. JM: Oh what was her name? She went thundering down the halls too. Oh I can't recall her name. But I can see her. BS: I can too but I can't remember her name. JM: I can see her in my mind. But I was afraid of her. BS: No. You weren't? JM: I was afraid of her. 19 BS: I was going to say…I was too. I was afraid of her too, yes, boy. JM: Oh, I can't think of her name. BS: But she was a nice woman. She told you what she expected of you. And if you performed the way she wanted you to you were okay but if you didn't… MF: Then you were in trouble. BS: …look out! MF: What was your favorite floor that you did your training on? BS: I liked pediatrics. I really loved to take care of the little kids and the nursery, I liked that too. Which one did you like best June? JM: I think I liked the delivery room. I supervised…from the time we graduated until I got married in June and when I left I was a supervisor in the delivery room...for just a few months but I quite enjoyed the delivery room. MF: That is good. I appreciate you letting us come visit with you. If you want to show us your pictures… JM: I have them all spread out there on the bed. I didn't know whether you'd be… MF: Do you care if we bring the camera in and you guys can still talk? JM: Oh yes. That is fine. I spread them all out there on the bed. MF: That would be perfect. JM: This is an article in the paper. This is our graduation. BS: This is our class. JM: You can have that and Jo if you want. MF: Oh good. Tell me where you are. BS: She was the beauty of the class. Thora Bean. 20 MF: Thora. Good. BS: This is Hopkinson, Norma Jean. This is June. This is me. And this is Bonnie Mae Anderson. Girl from Trenton up above… MF: Above Logan, yes. BS: Logan. This is Beth Collette and she was from Wyoming and this is Faye Carpenter, she was from Nebraska. MF: Oh good. BS: She was the one farthest from home. She would go out and look at the mountains and she would say, "They are going to fall on me! They are going to fall on me!" MF: Because she is from "Flatville." Now is she in California? Is she the one that is still in California? Do you know? BS: She is. Do you know her? She moved. She did move to California. JM: I lost track of her though, I don't know where she is now. In fact, when I went with my husband to California during the war, we went out a few times, she and her husband and my husband and I. We went out to eat a few times. BS: Bonnie Mae Andrews married a guy, a bilateral amputee. MF: Oh really? BS: Bonnie Mae Andrews also worked at Bushnell for awhile. JM: Bean, wasn't that her name? BS: Met him and married him. Thora married and moved to California. Her maiden name was Lewis. Thora Lewis married a man named Ben. MF: Oh okay, good. 21 JM: Now this is that picture of Mrs. Knapp. Look at these old things that are just practically fallen to pieces. That is one of the paper clippings. BS: Oh yes. MF: There are your stripes. BS: There are the junior the senior and the graduate. MF: That is so great. So this is June right here? BS: No. MF: Is that June? BS: Oh yes, yes that is June. I was here. I was sitting here and they didn't even take my picture. JM: Now these you probably wouldn't even…Jo might be interested in them. This is when we were getting ready for a junior prom. Here is us in our dresses and it tells about the junior prom. Betty Jo was the chairman of it, it says here in this article. "Those in charge was Betty Jo Salisbury, the chairman." And it lists all those that worked on the junior prom. This is the choir, the nurses choir. This is just completely fallen to pieces. MF: How fun, that is great. BS: This is Norma Jean, that is Faye Carpenter, that is Beth Collette, and who is this? JM: Let me see. BS: Under the thing, who was that? JM: Oh that was Thora Lewis. BS: Thora Bean. 22 JM: Thor and Norma Jean and Faye and Beth, yes. BS: Who is this here? JM: This is Andrew. BS: That is Bonnie, isn't that Bonnie? JM: I don't know the others. I am not sure who the others are. BS: Boy you really did keep everything. JM: This is me right here. I sang in the nurses chorus. I put a little "X" on me there. BS: So you would find yourself. JM: So I would know who it was. MF: Oh that is great. So Faye Longhurst was in this too right? Faye Ball? Yes, she is right there. JM: Ball was in the class right following us. MF: Yes, she graduated in '46, her and Helen. Is it Helen? BS: Helen Farr, yes I know Helen, she is still around. MF: Yes. We interviewed her a couple of weeks ago, her and Faye together. They were so fun. BS: We look so young there June, don't we? JM: This is the clipping that was in the newspaper. This is Betty Jo here. These are just pictures. We went up to the cabin. BS: Oh yes I have got this. We went up…this is when the dam wasn't as big as it is now. June's aunt and uncle had a cabin right on the dam and we had vacation and we spent a whole week up there. It was wonderful. MF: That is the way to do it. How fun. 23 JM: Here are a few more pictures of us. BS: There are some more of us. JM: We were sunbathing on the top of the nurses home. MF: We heard about that. We heard about the sunbathing. That is great. How fun. JM: Here are a few more pictures. This is our room. Isn't that our housemother? I can't see. BS: That is the one I was thinking that I have got. That is Mrs. Woods, our housemother. JM: Then I think I put another…I have got some pictures here I think of Thora. Here is Thora and here is Bonnie Andrew. Do you remember this one Jo? BS: Is that Thora? JM: Yes. BS: I was going to say she looks like Kathleen, that is my sister-in-law. JM: That is Kathleen. No, that is Thora. BS: Kathleen. JM: And then here is a few more scattered ones. Oh here is Vernal. BS: That is my husband. JM: I was going to give you that. Maybe we can't even take it out. BS: I have got one of those. JM: Oh have you got that? Then I tried to put a piece of paper in where… BS: There is a young picture of you, isn't it? JM: Oh yes. This is Vernal and Jo swimming. MF: Oh fun. 24 JM: And this is Jo on a horse. BS: And Vernal in his uniform. Not the horse. MF: Oh that is great. JM: Let us see. I can't see upside down. Are these…? This is Betty Jo here. BS: You have got plenty of me. See that was me too. MF: How fun…and the horse. BS: I love horses. One of the reasons I married Vernal. MF: How fun. BS: Because he was a farmer. MF: Where do you live now? BS: In Ogden. MF: You are still in Ogden? BS: Yes in Ogden. Where else? MF: That is alright. Well those are great. JM: Then, of course, I have got all these rosters that they have put out every year. BS: Yes we get one of those every year. JM: This on had down memory lane. There is quite a little bit in here. Do you have this one? There is quite a bit in there of history that you might be interested in some of that history. MF: We don't have the '95 roster? JM: There is quite a bit of history in the front of that. MF: So it has just little thoughts and memories. JM: Yes. 25 BS: Yes. MF: I haven't seen this. This is great. So then it has got the roster in here. Oh perfect. I haven't seen this one though. This is great. JM: I have got several others but just going through them I think that is the most informative. MF: Oh yes. That is great. It has just little memories of the classes that went through. Oh good. That is wonderful. Would you mind if we borrowed this and scanned it? JM: You can take it. MF: Would that be alright? That would be so great. JM: Yes. Then I wanted to show you this Jo. Do you remember that? BS: Oh yes. This is…my mother-in-law is quite a poetess. MF: Oh yes? BS: She made this poem about us. MF: For you because you were the roommates. BS: And I married her son. That is June and me and Thora. MF: That is great. How fun. BS: I'll have to tell you about what happened to us when we got married. JM: Oh that was quite an experience. You had better tell them that. BS: I had six months to go and I had to beg them to let me get married. JM: Why don't you sit down here on the bed? BS: We were married in the Logan temple and we were going up to Bear Lake for a couple of nights. I had to be back to work in two days. They used to have a girls 26 scout camp up there. It was a beautiful spot. When we were Beehive girls, you know, in mutual, we would go up there every summer and we hiked around in the mountains. So I said, "Vernal, I want to take you up on this trail." This was in October. We were married the 26th of October. The weather was beautiful, it was just perfect. I just had a jacket on and he had his uniform so I said let's get up on…it is called Crimson Trail…and you get up there and you can see all over Logan, it is a beautiful hike and really the right kind. It is short enough and long enough, just a perfect hike. So we got up there and were up there and we stopped to rest for a minute. All of a sudden I felt this…I thought it was a wasp. It just went right by. I could feel it, feel the air right…I could feel it. I thought "what is a wasp doing up here in October." I heard it plop over there. Vernal…he tackled me. He said, "They are shooting at us." MF: Oh it was deer season. BS: It was deer season. And he had his kakis on and I just had black slacks and a white blouse. They were shooting at us. He stood up and waved his arms and yelled, "We are people! We are people!" And they shot him right here. MF: Wow. BS: Right into his shoulder and it came right out again. I of course applied pressure to stop the bleeding. Pretty soon they came up. They had to use flashlights to get up there. We heard them talking and they said, "We'll find it right about here. We'll find it right about here." MF: Oh my gosh. 27 BS: And Vernal spoke up and said, "Yes you sure will, you will find us right about here." They just about died. They thought it was a deer they were shooting at. They thought they were going up there to get a deer. The thing is, they were shooting from the highway which is against the law and the river was running right there you know. MF: Wow. BS: I don't think they did anything to them. I know we didn't do anything to them. We didn't press charges. JM: He spent all of his furlough in the hospital. BS: Yes so our honeymoon was spent in…he had to go to the hospital. JM: His honeymoon and furlough. BS: I just kept on working. MF: He was okay though? BS: Yes. He got another month off. He could stay for another month when they found out what happened. MF: That is the craziest honeymoon story I have ever heard. I am glad he is okay. BS: Never forget that. JM: Bushnell was an Indian school after they… MF: Up in Brigham City. JM: I don't know whether you remember the Bushnell Hospital out there in Brigham City. BS: It was an Indian school after the war. JM: And then it was a school. 28 MF: I remember the Indian school but I don't remember the hospital. Well thank you for sharing that with us. And if you don't care we'll take this and I can just bring this back one day after work. Then we can get this done for you. JM: Now if you want I was going to give Betty Jo one of these. Do you want one of these Jo? BS: Oh thanks, yes. I appreciate that. JM; I don't know whether you have any way…this is the original paper clipping but I don't know how you could… MF: I think this is the one that Fern gave us. Doesn't this look like the one that Fern gave us? JM: Did you get one? MF: I think that was her sister. I am trying to think if that is… JJ: It does look like it. MF: I will check and make sure but I think she gave us that. Her…is it Bonnie? What is her name? JM: Oh she had a sister…Fern Andrew. MF: Yes. We talked to her the other day and I think she gave us that same picture. I will make sure it is the same one. JM: Oh yes. Fern. Do you remember Fern? Bonnie's sister? BS: Yes, sure. JM: We used to go to her place and visit with her sometimes. BS: Yes. Fern, yes, she worked in one of the stores in town didn't she? 29 MF: Yes. She called and said, "I have this picture." So we talked to her the other day. Very, very, very nice lady. She still volunteers at the hospital. JM: Haven't seen her for years. BS: Did she ever marry? MF: Yes she did. BS: Oh good. JM: Did she? MF: Yes. She volunteers at the hospital. She is 95. She still volunteers at the hospital. JM: Is she really? She never had children though I guess. MF: I don't…it didn't sound like she did. She didn't ever really say so I don't know. But very, very kind. That was fun. BS: Yes she is. MF: I will make sure that it is the one. BS: Yes. Bonnie was a real nice kid. I guess she…I don't know if she is still alive or not. JM: We've lost track of them. I am quite certain that Norma Jean passed away. It seems to me like I have heard of her passing. The others…just lost track of the others. MF: Yes. JM: I used to write to Faye Carpenter all the time at Christmas. It has been a couple of years since I have heard from Faye. MF: Since you have talked to her…okay. 30 JM: So I don't know if any of them have passed away or whether they are still with us. BS: I think Thora moved to California, too. Didn't she? JM: Yes. MF: I know Fern gave us her number so we do have her phone number. We are hoping we can call her and be able to get an interview because she said she is still alive. JM: Thora? Oh, Bonnie Andrew. BS: Bonnie. MF: Yes. BS: She is still alive, is she? MF: Yes. BS: Where does she live? MF: Royal…I can't remember. Royal something. Let me look real quick if it is in here. JM: It might be in one of these rosters. MF: Let's see. What was her last name? BS: Andrew. JM: Andrew. MF: Okay it is Royal Grande, California. JM: Oh California? MF: Yes. So that is where she is at. We just got her phone number so we can all her. I guess Fern sent her the article and she was so excited. We'll be set so now. JM: I don't know if I have even got Carpenter's address or not. I had it. 31 MF: I know that they just did an updated list that I do have a copy of. They had one in 2007 we got from Faye Ball. She did the minutes so we have a new list. I can check and see on that one. That was our latest list that we had. JM: Here is Faye Carpenter and Beth Swetfield. I was trying to think of her married name, Swetfield. BS: What is it? JM: Swetfield. BS: Oh, Swetfield, yes. MF: So Jean Woodfield, Jean Graham, was in the other class, right? You guys were the ones that were put together. JM: She was the class that followed us, yes. MF: Okay. We are talking to her next week. JM: They graduated in '45 too. BS: Yes. JM: Here is Jean Graham right here. She has an Ogden address. MF: Yes, we are talking to her next week. You know Josephine Manning, Josephine Heslop? Do you know her? BS: Who? MF: Josephine Heslop Manning. BS: Yes we knew her too. JM: She graduated. MF: She was the year before. JM: She graduated in '44. 32 BS: She was a year before, yes. MF: Yes. Yes, she lives out by me too. JM: Oh does she? MF: Yes. We interviewed her. She is my first one I did. It was good. I will make sure we get that address and make sure that is the right one. I'll get that for you. JM: Eva Dean Law, she was a supervisor. She held some big office for years and years. I don't remember what it was now. BS: Who? JM: Eva Dean Law. BS: Oh Eva June Frew. JM: What was she? I don't recall. BS: She was…what? A supervisor or a teacher or something. JM: Yes. BS: But not here. Not in Ogden. I heard she died. I think she died. JM: I believe I remember her obituary in the paper. BS: Yes I think she died. JM: I think she did, yes. BS: Most of us are tough old birds, though. MF: That is good. We are glad you are still here because we need to hear your story. JM: I wonder for how long sometimes. MF: Well this is great. We appreciate you for letting us come. JM: There is quite a bit of information in that one, more so than any of these others. 33 MF: Yes. That will be perfect. We will just get those copied. That way the ones that we don't have from the early ones…that will be good to have. JM: That has some history of the Dee. MF: Oh okay good. JM: And the Dee family. There is quite a bit of information in that little book. MF: Well good. I know I haven't seen that so that will be absolutely perfect to have these little histories too. That will be really good. We just have a little paper we just need you to fill out just so you give us permission. We appreciate you letting us come. We appreciate your time. So thank you. JM: Well it is kind of exciting. MF: It is. We are excited about this project. It is going to be a good thing. It is part of Ogden's history so we need to get it recorded. BS: That is great. MF: We are excited. Yes it is good.

May 2006:
Update: DominoBotNXT has been enhanced. See DominoBot2.
For those who do not know about the Lego Mindstorms Developer Program (MDP), back in January of 2006 Lego was seeking assistance from the Lego community on their next generation Mindstorms product (NXT). Approx 9600 people applied to become one of the 100 MDP's. In late February, I received an invitation to participate and of course jump at the opportunity. For a few months, the group of us were under an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) where we could not talk, show or discuss anything about what we had been working on in the MPD. Now that May 1 has passed, we can now open to discuss some of what we have been up to.
We all had an opportunity to participate in different areas of the testing/development process areas from software to Bluetooth to building robots. Initially, I wanted to get involved in more than one area, but time was limited, so I decided to focus on building only. I wanted to try and re-build my original DominoBot robot to see if I could make a better, more efficient version of it. I also wanted to test the new motors' built-in rotation sensors – as I needed this functionality.

According to Road Manager James Pritchett, the citizens of Shelby are to place unwanted items in front of their homes, near the streets.
"This is a very good project to help cleanup our city and we plan to have many more projects that will aid in the beautification of Shelby," said Mayor Dan Harris.
According to Pritchett, the citizens usually place rubbish on the sides of the road and city employees go around the city with a backhoe and haul it to the landfill in Boyle.
Residents are allowed to dispose of items such as wood/shavings, demolition trash, asphalt, tree limbs, appliances, plastic, rubber, metals, concrete, cardboard, stumps, glass, roofing material, construction trash, stone, vegetation, leaves, mattress/box springs, crockery and shingles.
"It has to be things that we can put in the landfill. We can also pickup tires but we have to pick them up separately. Citizens must leave tires separate from other rubbish," added Pritchett. "We have to dispose of tires in a different facility."
Residents are not allowed to place certain items on the side of the street for pick up such as household garbage, paint, aerosol can, incinerator ash, contaminated soils, key boards, office machines, cellular phones, video players, fuel containers, food/drink wastes, paint buckets, oil containers, computers, televisions, fax machines, video game consoles, video recorders, industrial wastes, liquids, five gallon buckets, wood ash, sludge, computer equipment, copy machines, PDA's, stereo equipment, electronic wastes and any other material deemed unacceptable by the site operator.
"Basically anything that contains a chemical or once contained a chemical will not be picked up, those items might be flammable or hazardous to the environment," added Pritchett.
According to Harris, this is the first time that the city will conduct a fall clean up.
"We try to assist the citizens in the cleanup process. We usually do a spring cleanup.
"Over the coarse of time unwanted items accumulate, and people have things that they need to get rid of that fits in the category of rubbish. Household garbage is not allowed. What we're going to do is come through and help them cleanup their areas," said Harris. "Although we try to collect rubbish on a regular basis, a lot of citizens are putting the rubbish out even when its not their week for pickup, and this causes the rubbish to remain on the streets and outside of their homes for a long period of time, because we only service certain areas once a week."
Harris said officials are trying to cleanup the city as a whole, including removing dilapidated property.
"We have to go through a process of declaring the properties as a nuisance, and we notify the property owners. Once we have a hearing on the property and the owner does not appear the city can pretty can pretty much go in and clean it up and then we charge it back to the property owners," added Harris.
For more information about the cleanup and the schedule, please contact Harris at 662-398-5156.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/PHILIPPINES/MIL - Clinton Reaffirms Military Ties With the Philippines

MANILA - During a high-profile visit to the Philippines on Wednesday,
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton stood on the deck of a American
warship in Manila Bay and reaffirmed the strong military relationship
between the United States and the Philippines.
The visit comes at a time of heightening tensions in the South China Sea
related to the oil-rich Spratly Islands, which are the subject of disputed
claims by China, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations. By
some estimates, the energy reserves in the areas being disputed by the
various countries could rival those of Kuwait.
"We are making sure that our collective defense capabilities and
communications infrastructure are operationally and materially capable of
deterring provocations from the full spectrum of state and nonstate
actors," Mrs. Clinton said aboard the guided missile cruiser U.S.S.
Mrs. Clinton's visit also coincides with a trip to the region by President
Obama. On Wednesday, Mr. Obama arrived in the Australian capital of
Canberra and announced with Prime Minister Julia Gillard an agreement that
allows for an increased military presence in that country. Mr. Obama and
Mrs. Clinton will then attend the East Asian Summit in Indonesia.
While in the Philippines, Mrs. Clinton also signed a pact promoting
economic growth and attended a lively public forum in which she took
questions from the public. But her appearance on the deck of the warship -
a highly symbolic event - had greater impact for the militarily weak
Philippines as it tangles with a huge neighbor to the north over the
Spratly Islands.
"Filipinos appreciate symbolism," said Ramon Casiple, executive director
of the Manila-based Institute for Political and Economic Reform. "She did
not say anything unusual, but they saw her on a warship in Manila Bay.
They received the message."
Mrs. Clinton, whose visit was marked by relatively modest anti-American
protests at the American Embassy in Manila, reiterated Washington's
position that territorial disputes in the South China Sea should be
settled peacefully. In another gesture not lost on her local audience, she
referred to the disputed area by its locally coined name: the West
Philippine Sea.
"We are strongly of the opinion that disputes that exist primarily in the
West Philippine Sea between the Philippines and China should be resolved
peacefully," she said during a televised news conference with Philippine
secretary for foreign affairs, Albert del Rosario. "Any nation with a
claim has a right to exert it, but they do not have a right to pursue it
through intimidation or coercion."
Following its independence in 1946, the Philippines signed agreements that
allowed American military bases to operate in the country. Large American
Air Force and Navy bases were closed in the early 1990s after contentious
debate in the Philippine Senate, but the 1952 U.S.-Philippines Mutual
Defense Treaty - upon which the military relationship is based - has
remained intact.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, American military involvement in the
Philippines focused on Islamic extremist groups operating in the southern
part of the country. In recent years, broader defense coordination has
taken place, including American assistance for the outdated naval forces
of the Philippines.
The United States currently has no military bases in the Philippines,
though visits by American Navy ships and joint drills are common. In
October, the United States and the Philippines conducted war games on the
island of Palawan, 50 miles from the disputed area with China.
Mr. Casiple, the analyst, noted that the Philippine government has been
careful to balance these military gestures with the recognition that the
country needs to maintain close and cordial economic ties with China.
"The Philippines does not want to be the representative of the U.S.
military in Southeast Asia," he said. "I think the Philippine government
wants to maintain its friendship with both these great powers and not
become a ball in the middle being kicked by both sides."

Alexi Ogando, David Murphy, Justin Verlander, Mike Adams and Rick Porcello walked into a bar and the bartender was all, Why the long face?
Seriously, this was the Matchup of the Long Faces like I've never seen before in a baseball game.
Anyhow, yesterday's game, the first of the ALCS, was sort of a marathon. It took just about five hours and there were two rain delays, equally about an hour and fifty minutes. The Rangers displayed the brilliant awesomeness of their bullpen and I was given ample time to gaze at Alexi Ogando and his magical pitching. He is my new favorite Ranger. In fact, watching him spurred a conversation that went something like this…
Me: I love Alexi Ogando!
My father: Isn't 'love' a little strong?
Me: No?
Him: Shouldn't love be reserved for… Jon Daniels or something?
Well, maybe. But still. Ogando rulz. With a z, people. With a z.

Gun control, violence prevention debated at PUSH
BY JAMES SCALZITTI Staff email@example.com January 12, 2013 12:34PM
Related Stories
Updated: January 15, 2013 8:23AM
With just a few of the nearly 7,400 illegal weapons that were seized in the past year on a table in front of them, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, clergy, community activists and victims gathered at the Rainbow-PUSH Coalition headquarters Saturday to discuss the gun violence that has made Chicago the subject of international headlines and to exchange ideas on how to reduce the crime and number of weapons on the streets.
McCarthy and the Rev. Jesse Jackson were joined at the forum by Annette Holt, the mother of Blair Holt, a 16-year-old gunned down in 2007 by a reputed gang member on a CTA bus; ex-alderman and radio show host Clifford Kelley, and the Rev. Otis Moss, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.
"I've been a police officer for almost 30 years," McCarthy said, "and everybody says to me, 'What's different about Chicago?' It's real simple -- guns are what's different about Chicago. Every year the Chicago Police Department seizes more guns than any other police department in the country."
McCarthy said Chicago Police officers seized 7,400 guns last year, "and every one of those is an armed confrontation with a criminal."
McCarthy brought a few of those seized guns to the PUSH headquarters, 930 E. 50th St., and they remained on display throughout the debate.
McCarthy and Kelley both said they were members of the National Rifle Association in their youth, at a time when, according to Kelley, the focus of the organization was responsible rifle ownership and gun safety.
Weighing the desire for gun control with concerns raised by law-abiding gun owners, McCarthy said, "I think there is a middle of the road solution – the 2nd Amendment says you have the right to bear arms. We know, as a reasonable people, that doesn't include hand grenades and rocket launchers."
The top cop offered the following solution to control gun violence:
• Banning assault weapons,
• Banning extended magazines,
• Universal background checks for anyone who buys a firearm in the U.S.,
• Mandatory reporting of the sale, theft, or transfer of any firearm, and
• Mandatory minimum sentencing for illegal gun possession.
"All five of these points are reasonable, they do not tell somebody you cannot own a firearm," McCarthy said. "They will prevent the illegal sale and illegal transfer of firearms into gang bangers' hands that is wreaking havoc" throughout the country. Reflecting on the event that has spurred such discussion of gun violence and how to stop it, McCarthy said, "Unfortunately it takes a tragedy like Newtown to occur to raise our consciousness."
McCarthy said he was not in favor of concealed carry, even when it is mentioned as a possible deterrent to crime. "When people say concealed carry, I say 'Trayvon Martin,' he said. "The answer is not more guns."
That opposition to concealed carry, as well as any measure to arm more people, was echoed by Moss, who said, "We already have concealed carry in our community. People are concealing and carrying and shooting. Concealed carry does not make us safer. More guns do not make us safer. What makes us safer is economic opportunity, what makes us safer is home ownership.
"You want to stop violence?" Moss continued, "you transform economic opportunity and the violence will stop."
He added the response to the city's violence might be different if it were happening in more affluent communities, or if most of the victims were a different race. "If there were too many guns in the hands of wealthy white children, we'd have a different response," Moss said. "Death is death, and all life should be elevated no matter the color of your skin."
McCarthy noted that in some communities that are beset by the worst violence, there is a widespread distrust of police, , therefore it's difficult to simply ask people to reject the "no snitch" culture. "I'm not here to defend the indefensible" actions of some police officers, he said, but McCarthy stressed that, "You are not a snitch if you are a witness or a victim to a crime."

The Maine Highlands: Bangor, Katahdin, and Moosehead Lake
A visit to The Maine Highlands would be incomplete without a day (or two, or seven…) exploring Baxter State Park.

A visit to The Maine Highlands would be incomplete without a day (or two, or seven…) exploring Baxter State Park. The pristine and majestic Park spans 200,000 acres in Piscataquis County and is home to Mount Katahdin, the so-called "mountain of the people of Maine." Baxter State Park is a natural treasure, made forever famous by one of its earliest enthusiasts, Henry David Thoreau, in his expeditionary journals. Hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing are all options when you visit Baxter, but we don't know anyone who is inured to the siren call of Mount Katahdin. The highest point in the state, she rises up towards the heavens at a grand 5,267 feet. Known affectionately as the Queen of Baxter, Mount Katahdin gifts her visitors with unparalleled views, uncompromised vistas, and the kind of peace that only comes with soaring altitudes.
Baxter State Park houses many well-kept secrets, and one of the best is the beginning or end (depending upon your perspective) of the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail. The trail is one of America's finest treasures, rich in history and begging to be explored.
The best way to learn about a place is from those who love and treasure it most. The enthusiasm of Registered Maine Guides will show you their Maine highlands. With fifty waterfalls and four hundred magical miles of shoreline that offer you a pristine view of Moosehead Lake, there's so much to discover in this region.
For those nights when you'd like a finely crafted cocktail to end your day of Maine Highlands exploration, a trip into Bangor offers a vibrant downtown, eclectic restaurants, boutique shopping, a bustling casino, outdoor concerts and the chance to catch a glimpse of resident author Stephen King. Located just one hour from Baxter State Park, Bangor is a city with a rich timber history and a flourishing arts and culture scene. The 31-foot-tall Paul Bunyan statue presides over Bangor and reminds its visitors and residents that this was once the lumber capitol of the world. The Maine Forest and Logging Museum is an authentic reconstruction of a Maine logging and milling community and serves as a reminder of Bangor's heritage.
Drive an hour and a half from Bangor and reach Moosehead Lake, home to Maine's largest lake and surrounding wildlife haven. True to its name, this area boasts some of the finest moose watching in the country. By the turn of the century, Moosehead Lake welcomed wealthy visitors from the cities to their grand hotels and lakeside lodges. The region continued to evolve into the outdoor destination it is today, where Maine hospitality is rivaled only by the area's beauty. Or, sleep under the stars at one of the many area campsites. Annual festivals in Moosehead Lake run the gamut from Moosemania in the spring to Snowfest in the winter featuring a 100-mile sled dog race.

And I have always wonder, why cant they make a pokemon game aka oblivion (morrowind)? Why cant it be a real, large, great world where you start as a boy or girl, and do whatever you like to do. When you CATCH pokemon, I want to do it realtime, (or doing it as the gameboy games) not the gamecube/wii mode steal piece of crap shadow balls. I dont belive it will be that hard making the game either.Then the game can get a whole new dimension.The trainer gets experience points too, just as the pokemon does. Using it too get better in; running, jumping, chatching pokemon, use tactics, learn stufts, gets smarter for better dialogue options and so on.I would love buying a game like that, but untill that day.

2009 Nissan Maxima
smarty666 Posts: 1,503Hi, I was hoping people with 2009 Max's can help me out; I have a 2010 Maxima SV with the Tech package but without the sport and premium packages; in the brochure it says that the Max SV has mood lighting while the the Max SV with the premium package has premium mood lighting; I wanted to know what the difference is? in my car all I have is a light that illuminates the center console from the ceiling; with the regular SV are you suppose to also have mood lighting in the front foot wells or do you have to get the Max with the premium package to get that? any info from 2009 owners of SV's without the premium and with the premium package would be helpful!!
go_mdx1 Posts: 135One more point on interior lighting....my car also has lights in the front foot wells, but thats not really considered "mood lighting" as it only lights up when the doors are opened. I
I'm not too sure which package/options adds the foot well lights. My guess is that all SV models would have this lighting. -
smarty666 Posts: 1,503yeah I have halogen lights in the front foot wells as well that illuminate but only when the doors are opened and as you pointed out that isn't considered mood lighting; so I guess the regular SV only has the center console in mood lighting and if you get the premium package you get the center console and both front door handles/switches; I guess Nissan isn't putting any in the front foot wells; it still is better than nothing; I was just curious because I had a previous car with ambient lighting and it wasn't working and had to get it replaced so I wanted to make sure I was having the right amount in my car; thanxs for the info!!
greenacura Posts: 42Hi, I lease a '09 Maxima Prem/Tech with 38,500 miles. The drivers door lock has stopped working with the remotes. I brought it into a local dealer (not the one I leased from) and they said the driver's door lock celanoid needs to be replaced for $270. They refused to consider submitting a "goodwill? warranty claim. They have to order the part and will not do that until I pay for it. Do you think it is unreasonable to think Nissan would cover the repair under a warranty claim? Would I have better luck with the dealer I leased the car from? Any ideas? Thanks!

Upon arriving at a Kingsburg, Calif.-area peach orchard at 7 a.m., Aug. 5, Elanor Starmer received a briefing on worker and food safety before being given a ladder and picking bag and sent down a row to begin harvest.
A half-hour into struggling with the three-legged ladder and trying to determine whether fruit was ripe enough to pick, the special assistant to the U.S. Department of Agriculture undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs admits she has a new view of farm workers.
"It's harder than I thought it would be," Starmer said. "I'm much slower than people who do it professionally, so it gives me some insight into picking our fruit and getting it to the right place."
She was one of about two dozen government regulators from Washington, D.C., who spent a week in California experiencing the industry first hand as part of the DC Exchange.
The program has been hosted annually by the California Agricultural Leadership Program for more than 30 years, said Darlene Din, a graduate of leadership class 35 and one of the exchange organizers.
It is designed to help educate government regulators about the diversity of California agriculture as well as the myriad issues it faces, she said.
The lack of knowledge was one of the main drivers behind the program's development initially.

Andrea Huberty, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's Biotechnology Regulatory Service branch chief, is one of those, having been born in Wisconsin and having worked in Washington, D.C., most of her life.
"I think it's an excellent experience for someone like me to get my boots on the ground and learn about the real story," Huberty said. "You hear a lot of things when you're inside the Beltway."
The exchange program typically receives 70-80 applications each year, and a panel of leadership alumni first screen the applications, then interview the finalists in person before selecting 20-25 participants, Din said.
Participants this year came from the USDA, Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Interior, Department of State, Centers for Disease Control and U.S. International Trade Commission.
Each exchange member is paired for the week with a host who is an alumnus of the leadership program.

Ogden, Utah/ May 18-07. President J.G.Kimball, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother:- I returned from Oregon a few days a go after an absence of over three weeks and found your letter of April 18th. I feel to thank you and President Smith for the consideration you have given me and the intrests I represent. It is true Brother Geddes holds a prominent position in the business a Baker City, and since Brother Nibley retired from that branch, Brother Geddes is the only one who represents me at that place during my absence, and while I do not know at present who could take his place, yet, I do not feel that I wish to stand in the way of the progress of the work and if you see fit to call Brother Geddes on mission I will get along the best I can without him when the time comes. Brother Geddes is Stake Superintendent of the Sunday Schools and has a pass it enables him to visit the different wards without expence to the Stake, which benefit of course will cease with him retiring from the Presidency. While I may be put to greate inconvenience by losing the services of Brother Geddes, especially in view of present labor conditions which makes it almost imposible to operate our mills atall, being comply to use Japs and any other labor that we can get. I feel that none of these reasons are sufficent to appose a proper call for a mission. Your brother in the Gospel. David Eccles
