"It was a high speed chase and he got to speeds over 100 miles per hour."
Kemper County Sheriff James Moore is talking about a high speed chase that began when the driver of a car fled the scene after being stopped by a deputy.
According to the sheriff it was a tip that led to the traffic stop. Once the chase began it ended less than 20 minutes later on Hale Road in Noxubee County. With four men inside the car, Sheriff Moore says one of the passenger 32-year-old Russell Smart fled on foot into the woods.
"He did catch that subject in the woods. As a matter of fact that subject fled with a large packet in his hands."
It turns out that the package was one pound of marijuana with a street value of around 15-hundred dollars.
27 year old Cedrick Thomas, 28 year old LaQuonts McCoy, 32 year old Russell Smart and 24-year-old Antoine Williams were all are from Noxubee County and all are facing charges for evading, trafficking and could still face others.
"Drug dealers remember the sheriff department is here working, you might not see us. You might not hear us but we're definitely there."

The Canaries play rock-bottom Reading at Carrow Road knowing three points would go a long way to securing their own survival in only their second season back in the big time.
Yet Martin is unconcerned that his side lie just four points ahead of 18th-placed Wigan and is looking forward to what could be the tightest of finishes at the bottom end of the table.
"What's not to relish?" said the full-back said.
"We are playing in the best league in the world against great players in great stadia week in and week out. What's there to be nervous about?
"To stay in this league will be an unbelievable achievement. We'll go to enjoy it on Saturday. That's what it is about and hopefully we will give the fans something to shout about.
"We have not been in a dogfight all season. It's getting a bit tight down there, but three points on Saturday and maybe some people will relax a bit."

Photos: Aindrita Ray's item song in Kaddi Pudi
Aindrita Ray, for the first time in her career, has done an item number in Kaddi Pudi. Well, the song 'Soundarya samara...' has already gone viral and the number has already become a chartbuster.
The actress will be seen in revealing outfits in the track. In fact, she will be seen as a sex worker in the hit song. Her backless photos and sensual poses have taken the mass by storm.
When asked about the item number, Aindrita Ray claims that it is not an item number, but a classical song. The Manasaare girl accepted the offer for two reasons. The first reason is the idea of appearing in the classical sounded good to her and the second is the obvious factor - director Suri, who gave her a big break in Junglee.
"Let me clarify, it is not an item number, but a classical song. I have done guest appearances, but have never done an item song. I accepted this offer because it is classical and also because of director Suri as he gave a hit to my career with the film Junglee," a leading daily quoted the actress as saying.

Fr. Christopher Smith - the administrator pro tem during the pastor's sabbatical issued this letter to his parish on February 11.
Many of the original Scotch-Irish settlers in this part of Carolina were Catholics; in a generation, they overwhelmingly became Protestants. Why? Because the Church was not visible to them, because there were no priests and no sacraments available to them. The same thing is happening again, this time to the Hispanics. There are now approximately 37,000 Hispanics in Greenville County. In theory, almost all of them should be Catholics. But at this moment, there are now more practicing Latino Protestants than Catholics.
How has this happened? Many of the non-Catholic churches have become very aggressive in converting Catholics away from the fold. They learn Spanish and congregations invest time and money into what they see as fertile ground for evangelization. They bring highly trained native pastors to do missionary work within the United States among the Latinos. What's more, so many of those who come from Latin America are so poorly catechized that they are easily taken in by those who shower them with love, gifts and the Gospel. Who can blame them?
I have spent a year and half trying to meet with the Latino Protestant pastors in Greenville, and they refuse to even return my letters and calls. Their tactics have become more antagonistic; they have now bought a radio station, 1580AM, and are broadcasting anti-Catholic programming in an attempt to take away their countrymen from the Church of their forefathers. Are we going to let this happen, again?
Many of our Anglos want to help the Hispanics, but do not know how. Here is a chance: we are in the process of putting together a newspaper which would tell people the truth about the Catholic faith, a weekly or monthly which will go into Spanish shops all over Greenville. Also, we want to buy time on 103.9FM so that we can counter the attacks on our Faith and on our priests. Say you don't speak Spanish? It doesn't matter. We need money, we need volunteers, we need paper, we need graphic artists, we need ink, we need people who can help us reach out to the Latino community. We need you!

If we are a parish that wants to spread the Gospel, why not start with the largest group of people in Greenville who are Catholics and the largest group in Greenville who are on their way out because we are not doing our part to reach them? You can help save souls, one at a time – all for Jesus!

Medical marijuana supporters gather in FrankfortUPDATED 7:33 PM EDT Jun 18, 2014
Supporters of medical marijuana gather in Frankfort on Wednesday to address the joint committee on health and welfare.Video Transcript
GOOD EVENING, I'M VICKI DORTCH. KENTUCKIANS IN SUPPORT OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA SHOWED UP AT THE STATE CAPITOL TO ADDRESS THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON HEALTH AND WELFARE. THEY WANT LAWMAKERS TO PASS PROPOSED CANNABIS LEGISLATION. W-L-K-Y'S KIMBERLY EASTON WAS AT THAT HEARING AND JOINS US WITH THE STORY... KIMBERLY? THE PUSH CONTINUES TO LEGALIZE MEDICAL MARIJUANA HERE, IN KENTUCKY. THOUGH IT IS LEGAL TO USE THE HEMP OIL, PATIENTS, WHO NEED TO USE THE PLANT TO SURVIVE, SAY THEY NEED THE STATE TO LEGALIZE THE ENTIRE PLANT. "Cancer had knocked him down pretty far the tumor inside of his esophagus was blocking the whole esophagus to it was hard to eat." LEGISLATORS LISTENED QUIETLY AS TORI BURGIN SHARED HER EMOTIONAL STORY.. OF HER HUSBAND'S STRUGGLE AND NEED FOR CANNABIS - MEDICAL MARIJUANA. "I am so sorry that this is emotional but this is emotional for me. It can help.It helps the tumors, It helps his pain, he is in so much pain." ERIC CRAWFORD IS ALSO IN A LOT OF PAIN. A CAR ACCIDENT LEFT HIM A QUADRIPLEGIC. "My life is a struggle of constant nerve pain ungodly muscle spasms, extreme stiffness, arthritis." TO EASE HIS PAIN CRAWFORD USES DOZENS OF PRESCRIBED NARCOTICS, BUT SAYS HE NEEDS MEDICAL MARIJUANA. "If I could legally use medical cannabis I would not need to us Narcotics." WITH A DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION, PATIENTS IN KENTUCKY CAN USE HEMP OIL WHICH IS LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES, BUT THEY ARGUE THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS REQUIRE MORE THAN THE OIL. THEY WANT KENTUCKY TO LEGALIZE THE ENTIRE PLANT. "If a tomato was illegal would you only legalize part of the juice. Doesn't make sense does it." KENTUCKIANS AGAINST THE LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA ARGUE THE PLANT IS STILL CONSIDERED A SCHEDULE I DRUG UNDER FEDERAL LAW. THEY ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE MORE RESEARCH MUST BE DONE BEFORE EVER MAKING IT LEGAL. KIMBERLY EASTON, WLKY NEWS. THANK YOU KIMBERLY. UNTIL CANNABIS IS LEGALIZED HERE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, IT REMAINS A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. AND THIS MEANS PATIENTS

Learn how to use a Sediment Filter Bag as a BMP
to treat muddy drilling water and contain drill cuttings
at the PGWA 2016 Summer Field Conference
Friday, June 10, 2015 at the same location as last year west of State College, PA.
By Todd Giddings, Ph.D., P.G., Education Committee Chairman
Each year, for the past fourteen years, the Pennsylvania Ground Water Association has held one-day, totally outdoor, summer field conferences that have had live demonstrations of water-well and geothermal borehole drilling, casing, grouting, development, test pumping, hydrofracturing, and decommissioning.
What will be demonstrated on Friday, June 10, 2016 ? We are going to demonstrate how to use a Sediment Filter Bag as a Best Management Practice (BMP) to treat muddy air-rotary drilling water and to contain the drill cuttings. Managing and treating the muddy drilling water and drill-cuttings during the air-rotary drilling of a water well or a geothermal borehole can be a very challenging task, particularly when the drilling water is going to flow right into a stream or flow into a storm drain pipe. Pennsylvania's Erosion and Sediment Control regulations require the use of BMP's such as silt sox, silt fences, straw bales, and sediment filter bags.
A Sediment Filter Bag is constructed by sewing together two sheets of non-woven geotextile fabric (that resembles the wool-felt fabric in a felt hat) to make a large fabric bag. A spout on the bag is secured over a pipe or a hose that is connected to a diverter bolted onto the top of the well casing. The 800 to 1,200 cubic feet per minute of compressed air, that operates the down-the-hole hammer in air-rotary drilling, also carries the drill cuttings and groundwater up to the diverter. This mixture of air/water/clay/silt/sand/and the gravel-sized chips of bedrock is blown through the hose or pipe into the Sediment Filter Bag.
The non-woven geotextile fabric strands filter out some silt particles and the fabric contains the sand and gravel-sized rock chips within the bag. The air and the water flow through the geotextile fabric. The minute openings between the fabric strands do allow clay and some silt particles to pass through, so the water discharging from the Sediment Filter Bag is muddy in appearance because it contains suspended clay and silt material. Because the bag fabric filters out and contains most of the sediment, a sediment filter bag is considered a Best Management Practice device to meet Sediment and Erosion Control Regulations.
This Sediment Filter Bag demonstration will be at the same location as the past four years, next to the Home Depot store at the I-99, Route 220, and Route 322 Exit 69, located just west of State College. The Gatesburg Formation overburden at this site is a silty and clayey sand material that is notorious for its caving conditions and flowing sand zones, so it will provide a very good demonstration of the treatment and containment capabilities of a Sediment Filter Bag used as a BMP. A map of this site location with driving directions is at this link.
Why attend these demonstrations? This Summer Field Conference program will demonstrate live procedures that you may only have read about in text books. By the direct observation of these demonstrations, you will gain a much better understanding of the procedures. During this demonstration of how to install the Sediment Filter Bag and use it as a BMP, the process will be explained step-by-step, and there will always be opportunities for questions. There will also be a trade-show with tabletop product displays at this 2016 Summer Field Conference.
Pennsylvania State Police Motor Carrier Enforcement Supervisor Mitchell Scalia will conduct a simulated DOT roadside-walk-around inspection of a rig-tender truck. This truck will also be used to demonstrate how to use plastic mats to support the truck across soft ground. Concurrent with this truck inspection, there will be a PowerPoint presentation in the big tent on "How Hydraulic Stimulation Increases the Yield of a Water Well". You will learn what caused the 4 times increase in the specific capacity of the well from 0.09 gpm/foot to 0.37 gpm/foot.
In the last hour of the program, there will then be a demonstration of the proper well decommissioning procedures to comply with the Spring Creek Watershed drilling ordinance. Concurrent with this well decommissioning demonstration, there will be a hands-on training session in the big tent on how to troubleshoot Variable Frequency Drive submersible pump systems.
Who should attend? This program is designed for anyone who wants to learn how a Sediment Filter Bag works, and the program is especially designed for air-rotary water-well and geothermal drilling contractors who want to learn a new method to treat the drilling water with a BMP and contain the cuttings. This program will also be of interest to geologists, sanitarians, watershed specialists, hydrogeologists, water-supply regulators, municipal officials, planning commission members, members of watershed associations, and anyone else who is interested in learning about an advanced BMP to treat drilling water and contain drill cuttings.
Equipment manufacturers and suppliers to the ground-water industry and the geothermal industry should also attend and take advantage of this opportunity to display their products.

Skill Level Intermediate
To make this nested composition loop throughout the duration of its longer final composition, we need to do three things. The first one we discussed in the Quizzler challenge movie. You need to make sure your source composition indeed seamlessly loops. We did that by careful placement of our keyframes, and also by time stretching our looping background to make sure it, too, repeated when we got to the end of the composition. To test that, I am going to go somewhere near to the end of my comp, press the spacebar to play through the end, and make sure that it's seamless when it comes back to the head. And we'll play through one more time, seamless loop.
We have the source we need. Now, back in our final composition, we need to do two more things. First off, we want to manipulate what frame of this source is being played back at a particular time in our final composition. As soon as we talk about remapping frame of source to frame of comp, you should be thinking time remapping, and that's part two. So I'm going to select this layer, go up to Layer > Time > Enable Time Remapping, and you'll see it's automatically extended this nested comp to fill out the remainder of this composition; if it didn't, you just place your cursor over the end and drag it out to fit.
It hasn't created a pair of keyframes for us at the start, and if you remember, one frame past the end of our source comp. You might be tempted to try to start copying and pasting keyframes at this point, but you're going to end up with something awkward as you go from the first frame of source back to the last frame of source. The better solution here is to find a way of looping the duration of this comp. As soon as I start talking about looping, your mind should go back to the previous After Effect Apprentice lesson on expressions.
We mentioned one of our three favorite expressions was loop, and it wasn't a variation that could loop the duration of the source. Perfect! So I'm going to hold down Option on Mac, Alt on Windows, click on the animation stopwatch for time remap. That enables expressions, and I can either use the Expression Language menu to help me out or I remember the Loop expression by heart, because it's fairly simple. I want to loopOut. I want to continue from the out point of this composition onward. The duration time--not based on keyframes--and what I want to do is cycle, basically, repeat the content over and over, don't go back and forth like a ping-pong, don't offset in time but just cycle repeat what I have, comma. And my source composition was 5 seconds long. Close parentheses. Click off.
My expression has been accepted. Press 0 on the numeric keypad to RAM Preview, and you'll see that we now have a seamlessly looping composition playing out for the entire duration of this final comp. Now you might have noticed a particular glitch back here right around this keyframe, where the screen goes dark. This is another artifact of Time Remap defaulting to placing its second keyframe one frame past the end of your source.
This comp actually goes from 0 to 429. So as we mentioned earlier, what a lot of users do, as soon as they enable time remapping, is they go to that last keyframe, press page up to back up one frame, to the true end of the source, put a keyframe there, then go to that last keyframe and turn it off. As soon as you do that, we are now seamless through this particular gap. And just to approve the usefulness of this, I want to go back to the source composition, make some changes.
I'll press F3 to open Effect Controls, maybe change the color of one of these pulleys, maybe change the timing of one of these keyframes, go back to my final comp, RAM Preview again, and all of my changes have been picked up automatically and are included in this still-looping composition. That's why you use expressions: they allow you to go back and change your master for the expression and have those changes ripple throughout your composition. So now you've built quite a good skill set. You've combined the concept of nesting compositions with expressions with time remapping, and that's why we're teaching in this way.
We're giving you a series of building blocks that you can start to combine and reuse to solve your own problems on your own jobs.

The Car Connection MINI Cooper Countryman Overview
Though the Mini Countryman is the largest model in the brand's range, it's one of the smallest crossovers on the market. The list of its competitors is long and growing with names like Chevy Trax, Buick Encore, Nissan Juke, Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500X, Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3.
The Countryman was launched in the U.S. for 2011, and it's seen only minor updates (most of them cosmetic) since then. For 2016, changes are restricted to some trim and paint-color changes, and a new special-edition model called the Park Lane, following a new grille and new chrome trim on the Cooper S version for 2015
The Countryman actually shares body panels with only one of the other smaller, shorter vehicles in the Mini lineup: the Paceman hatchback. But the family resemblance is easily spotted. All-wheel drive is available, but front-wheel drive is standard.
MORE: Read our 2016 Mini Countryman review
The Mini Countryman has roughly the same footprint as a Volkswagen Golf hatchback, but it manages to look larger and offer some actual off-road capability, thanks to bulging fenders and higher ground clearance than its Mini siblings. The interior packaging provides space for five people and a decent amount of gear. Like other Mini models, the Countryman doesn't come cheap, especially in higher trim levels with added equipment. Mini is targeting well-off buyers who could choose something bigger or more luxurious, but instead select the brand for its size and charm.
The Countryman's interior layout is very similar to that of its smaller Mini friends. The retro design runs strong throughout, while some of the idiosyncratic touches have been smoothed over, including the location of the lock and window switches. In back, there is a three-person bench. When it was first launched, the Countryman had a four-seat interior with two individual rear seats. In either configuration, it's a tight spot for many adults. The Countryman's closest competitor in size is probably the Nissan Juke, which is similarly cramped in the back.
The base model is the regular Countryman and it comes with a 121-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. Up one rung on the ladder is the sportier Countryman S model, which gets a turbocharged version of the base model's engine and a 181-hp rating. The vehicles also come with front- or all-wheel drive configurations. All-wheel drive hurts fuel economy a little, and it's only available on the Cooper S model and comes standard on the John Cooper Works.
Whichever wheels are doing the driving, it's a bit of a shock how good the thing handles, though you'll never mistake it for a sports car like you might the regular Mini Cooper. Compared to its smaller siblings, the Countryman can feel a bit down on power, even with the turbocharged engine in the Countryman S. This, of course, has to do with its increased weight.
All Countryman models are equipped with a long list of safety items, such as stability and traction control; a number of airbags; and anti-lock brakes with corner brake control. While it has not been tested by the federal government, the Countryman receives the highest marks possible from the IIHS in all tests and gets that agency's Top Safety Pick nod as well.
The Countryman was one of the first models to offer the latest Mini Connected infotainment system, which not only integrates with smartphones but also offers Internet-based services encompassing infotainment, communication, and driver experience. They're provided through a growing range of apps that run on the display screen in the center of the dash, and operated via a joystick in the center console.
In the 2013 model year, a John Cooper Works version of the Countryman joined the lineup. With 211 hp and an overboost mode that kicks torque up to 221 pound-feet in bursts, the JCW can accelerate to 60 mph in about seven seconds; it's the first JCW model yet to offer an automatic transmission in addition to the standard 6-speed manual; since then, the auto has migrated to other new JCW models.
The 2013 model also brought a redesigned armrest with relocated power-window controls and a larger console storage area. The second-row seat is now a three-person bench, with a two-person bucket arrangement available as a no-cost option. MINI also added the Paceman that year, a vehicle that is essentially a two-door version of the Countryman. The models are sized similarly, although the Paceman is much tougher to get in and out of and the Countryman remains far more popular; in fact, it's the most popular vehicle in Mini's lineup right now.
For 2015, the Countryman gets a new grille, with the sportier Cooper S Countryman identifiable by additional chrome detailing. Most all-wheel-drive models get standard underbody guards, which can be added to the front-wheel-drive models too. Other updates include new 17-inch alloy wheel designs, LED fog lights, and accents in glossy piano black, along with a handful of new exterior colors. A new Countryman is likely a few years off and is rumored to share a platform with the next BMW X1 crossover.

Students are in full experimenting mode with their movie-making, and have been diving into projects. Some bands are still finishing some videos from their exploration phase, while others have started into project mode with writing scripts, doing research, and getting familiar with being directors and handling cameras, editing software, and sound. Check out the following movie prototypes, advertising study videos, and some more animation tests!
Tag Archives: Exploration
things we see
animation tests
The Green band has been looking into animation and experimenting with short films! Check out these short videos they made over spring break:
printing press
In the study of Book, we've had a lot of room to explore the process of printing and the printing press itself. Before the Thanksgiving break, each student was assigned a letter – upper or lower case – to design for a one-of-a-kind Brightworks font! The results were pretty unique!
The Green Band has been digitally tracing each letter so that our laser printer can make cutouts out of wood material to ink onto paper.
The Orange Band has been taking a look at several different kinds of printing presses and took a trip to the Aesthetic Union, a printmaking studio just around the corner from the school.
The Red Band visited Charles Chocolates to see another kind of print making – with chocolate!
printing, power, privilege
I had to snag this incredible blog post from Amanda, who describes a conversation from today that she had with her Green band, who range from ten to thirteen years old. I'm reposting with her permission:
Last night, kiddos researched the parts and pieces of a Gutenberg printing press. Since they're going to be the experts on our engineering project, they spent time researching how it works, why it works, its different iterations, and – perhaps the most fun – the evolution of fonts. (They all know what "san serif" means now.)
And then, in one of those nonchalantly brilliant quirks that happen often at Brightworks, we got into the why. What did the printing press do? became Why was it important? and How did it change the world? We drew up maps of the crusades; we revisited the power of sharing – spreading – ideas; we imagined civilizations without words, versus ones with. Can a civilization survive if their only means of communication is a "giant game of telephone"? Spot on, kiddos. You'd need a vessel to disperse your thoughts, far and wide and fast. And voila! The printing press. Massive expansion of words, books, ideas, people. Today, even, the countries in power (listed by the kids: USA, parts of Europe, Russia, China) are predominately derived from that spread of ideas, from that spark of survival, from that zenith of innovation. How the printing press changed the world.
And isn't that funny? Some places have more power than others.
Like, hey, I heard about this thing. Can we talk about Ferguson?
I heard that this happened. I heard that that happened. And do you know another black boy was shot recently? Not even in Ferguson, but somewhere else. It's happening a lot of places. The problem is, would it be happening if any of those kids were white? No!
And you know what I think? I don't think the specific details of the one case in Missouri matter. Why?
Because it's happening a lot. Black kids are dying –
Black people are dying!
And it's wrong. They shouldn't be shot, a lot of times they're innocent. Honestly, even if they had stolen something, you shouldn't be shot. Why are they getting shot?
I think we should call them People of Color – it's not just black people, it's all shades of brown that are being oppressed like this. Why?
I think privilege is when I walk to school or to the store, I don't have to be worried. I'm not afraid. I know I'm safe. But what if I was afraid? What if I never felt safe, just doing those things?
When I walk my dog at night and it's dark, I am always worried that my white neighbors will get nervous when I cross the street. Sometimes I ask my grandma to come with me, just so they won't be afraid of me. But like, I'm not going to do anything! They don't have to be afraid of me!
Why does America have all these problems? Did you know, in the past, only white men could vote. Only rich white men! Not people of color, not women. What a mess. Things are still a mess.
It's not fair that white people grab their bags when they pass a person of color, or zig zag around the street. IF that person of color is walking nervously, looks nervous or "suspicious", then it's because they've been trained to do that. They're used to being thought of as bad guys.
I could go out and wear a hoodie, but a person of color out wearing the SAME hoodie would be considered suspicious. What are they supposed to wear? It's cold outside!
Change is really hard. It's always hard. Because when someone's in charge, it feels really good. They probably don't want to change. Like, if your life is perfect, why would you want anything different? But it's wrong. What's happening is wrong.
This reminds me of something we talked about earlier – superheroes. Superheroes are powerful, but they have to make sacrifices. They choose to make those sacrifices; it's important to them to do the right thing. They're responsible. If you have power, you need to be responsible. Power has responsibility.
You're right, kiddos. If you have power, and you do, and I do. We do. We can walk to the store without being afraid, and wear hoodies on the bus without getting pegged as a criminal. And we go to a great school, and have access to a strong education, and get our fresh tomatoes weekly at the farmer's market. So what are we going to do? What can we do?
I think if you have those things – if you have privilege, if you have power – it's your job to make the world a better place.
For everyone.
nanowrimo 2014
Every November is National Novel Writing Month – 30 days of nonstop writing during which writers old and new challenge themselves with an often outlandish goal to write a certain number of words of a novel… and then write, write, write! November just happens to coincide with the beginning of the Book arc (who knew!) and so as a part of the exploration of Book, students have committed to writing a piece of their own, original novel every day. We have dedicated the hour after lunch as official quiet time, giving the students time to write during the day – even though many of them choose to write at home, too!
Each band has approached the writing process from a different angle – many using plot diagrams, character dissections, or other brainstorming tools – map out their ideas and develop their characters. It starts with an idea – a character, a place, a scene – and billows out from there into new worlds and new people that the kids have gotten to know very well over the last few weeks. Every day, they come in bubbling with news about how many words they wrote, what happened in their story that they didn't expect, or a new character that tragically died or had something surprising happen to.
My favorite parts are the conversations about character, things like: "What do I do with this character? There are too many already and I feel like I can't handle that many." And the response: "Just kill them off, it's fine." The intricacies of where characters are in the world, on the page, in the writer's heads become more complicated and apparent when you sit down to write. How do you move the action along? How do you get the clan of cats into the wild? How do you get your plucky crew of astronauts out of the storage room they're hiding in? How does it make sense to take this character back in time, and where do they meet up with their present? It's been amazing to see the kids fighting through writer's block and becoming jazzed again by their characters and their plots.
NaNoWriMo unfortunately ends while we're on Thanksgiving break, but everyone has gone off to a week of rest with a plan and motivation to hit their word goal or get to that elusive piece of a story – much harder to come by than beginnings or middles – the end.
the book ban
Day 1 – An Unexpected Letter
Monday, October 27, signaled the start of the second arc of the year: Book! Spirits were high; we came into the day after a fantastic Photograph Arc gallery night and opened circle with a game of Story in the Round (where everyone in the circle says one word of a sentence to make a story). There were some hiccups in the storytelling – quiet voices, missed grammatical construction – but nothing compared to Ellen bringing Gever a very important piece of paper that had just been faxed in. The game stopped and Gever apologized for the interruption, but sent everyone outside to the curb while the staff dealt with some hazardous materials inside the school – something to do with the faxed message.
"Gever, is it zombies?" someone asked.
Frances wrote in her blog, "Some people said maybe there was something with the saws. Others said maybe you need a license to have a darkroom, and still others said maybe Quinn brought back ebola from Africa. Obviously they were joking."
Everyone was confused and a little worried, but were assured nothing was wrong and all headed out on a quick walk.
When the kids returned, they were released back inside band by band. The front door sign changed. There was red danger tape everywhere and signs that said, "Under Investigation", "Banned", "Caution – Unapproved Materials".
Just past the front desk, the kids were met with a bag search and Ellen, Justine, and Anthony wearing black, confiscating all books and internet-capable devices from their backpacks. Visible behind them were ten strangers, also dressed in black, who talked amongst themselves, but were clearly observing the bag search process.
Amelia from the Blue Band highlighted the concern that the students felt upon hearing that the school needed to be cleared due to hazardous materials being discovered in the school. She wrote in her blog, "What could these materials be? My friends and I speculated. Could it be the saws? The other tools? Rumors spread. There were whispers that a Hazmat team were coming to take away our saws in big trucks. When we got back to school, our questions were answered and new ones bubbled up. What were these materials then? Books. This made me feel really confused. Books?"
The kids assembled on the cork floor in rows, instead of in a circle, behind signs that had each collaborator's last name – ie, Ms. Price's Class. Weird – we call staff members by their first names, and call our groups of students "bands", not classes.
In the moment, it seemed that every student experienced something they had never experienced before. Jack, from the Blue band, drew immediate analogies to other authoritarian structures and wrote in his blog, "We were allowed in one band at a time and told to surrender [all books and internet accessing devices]. After doing so we were told to go sit by band in a line out on the cork floor JUST LIKE PRISONERS!!!!"
When the contraband search had finished, Gever read the letter from the Department of Education that, amongst all the legal jargon, effectively banned books for a 90 day period, while the state reassessed the approved reading list for all students.
BOOK BAN LETTER (partial)
Rules of the Interim Compliance Period are as follows:
- Students and staff are not allowed to ask questions about The Ban
- Students and staff will not have access to on or- off-site libraries
- Students and staff will have access to the Approved Reading Materials
- Students and staff will have all reading materials approved before reading commences
- Students and staff will not share ideas about or from books that are not on the Approved Reading Materials
- Students and staff will not read unapproved words (in any context)
- Students and staff will not circumvent the Approved Reading Materials by electronic means; therefore all students and staff must surrender any and all cell phones and devices that connect to the internet upon arrival at a school
To comply with these Federal laws, as well as the mandates of the Supreme Court, and State and local agencies responsible for the enactment of the Society Protection Act of 2014, administrations and teaching staff at all primary and secondary education facilities, both public and private, must ensure that they prevent access to the books not included in the Approved Reading Materials list, and that they do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin in providing free and unfettered access to Approved Reading Materials (as described in the attached Approved Reading Materials, Interim List).
General information, updates to the Approved Reading Materials Interim List, and changes to the rules and compliance expectations (see the attached Good Citizenship Conduct Guidelines, Classroom Excerpt) will be sent via the same method you received this (e.g. email or fax). Ignorance of the updates and/or changes is a violation of the Society Protection Act of 2014.
We look forward to working with you. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for taking the necessary steps to ensure that no child is denied a proper education.
Also included was the interim reading list, a series of pamphlets that celebrated America's history and traditions, and later during the day supplemented with more materials about proper self improvement:

The kids were in shock. There was silence and wide eyes. When Gever brought out the Compliance Officers– educators from a school in Spokane– whatever doubts the kids had that this was an actual ban were dashed. When the kids returned to their bandspaces after the announcement, the Compliance Officers were charged with removing books, laptops, and phones from the space, and placing Danger tape over any shelves with books or unapproved reading material.
From the student's point of view, this start of an arc was developing into a truly bad day. Perhaps the worst in the history of Brightworks.
Kaia, in the Green band, wrote in her blog, "We could not ask questions. I had a million buzzing in my head, so I JUST HAD TO ASK! We were also not allowed to talk about books. There were government agents watching us, so we had to talk in huddled groups whispering to each other. Everyone was miserable." Julian, another Green band student, hearing dry legal language, perhaps for the first time, had a similar reaction and wrote, "Once Gever explained what was happening and read the whole stupid law thing, I was beyond mad, I was going insane because of this. I thought it was crazy but it was really happening…" Oscar pointed out, "You can't take our books it's unfair and I love reading. It was terrible timing because this was the day that Amanda told us to bring our favorite books and then they got confiscated!!!"
The students and their collaborators tried to have a school day that was somewhat normal – even though nothing about it was. As the adults moved through the space, we were faced with confusion and anger. We heard kids responding to the ban in whispers and in secret:
"Taking books away is like taking away people's shoes."
"What's the point? What don't they just ban the ones that are inappropriate for kids?"
"I know that you staff aren't allowed to talk about the ban, but if you could, would you be with us or against us?"
"Did people get a vote? My dad didn't hear about this. Who voted?"
"This is against our rights! I mean, I know we are minors and don't have rights. Except for the Miranda Rights. But it still seems against our rights."
"Do they have a warrant? They should have a warrant."
"I know I don't read that much, but not having books around makes me want to read more."
"I'm going to wait a few days, then leave and find a school that allows books."
"They can't make me call you Mrs. Hathaway. I will ONLY call you ELLEN."
The Red Band had a conversation about the ban during the morning, which Shawna transcribed:
Alex: I'm super scared. I might get bored without books.
Sadie: Books are the best thing.
Shawna: Nolan, how are you feeling about this?
Nolan: I am super sad that I have to do it.
Shawna: Do what?
Nolan: The books, that I have to give it to them.
Tesla: This is scary. How can we do Book Arc without books?
Sakira: No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (a beloved book). No more making books!
Sadie: School is ruined!
Tesla: He said we're going to stop Book Arc. So which arc are we going into?
Sadie: The Boring Arc.
When the update from the "Department of Education" arrived after lunch, with additions to the approved reading list, there was no celebration. There was however, one item on the list that would prove to be pivotal in the day.

Bill of Rights, Public Domain
Mackenzie, collaborator with the Orange band, wrote: "In the afternoon the nervous and hopeless energy [from the morning] had completely transformed. We gathered together to read the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights (two of the approved books). They hung on every word of the Bill of Rights as if their lives depended on it."
Her nine year old students decoded the First and Fourth Amendments in the Bill of Rights, just as the seventh and eighth graders in Phillip's Blue Band discovered these rights and quietly discussed other cases in history where book bans had violated people's access to information and their ability to disagree with what their governments said.
Shawna noticed that the Red Band's behavior was more edgy and unsure in the morning, their frustration with the Ban coming out in more physical ways as they figured out what to do about having no more books at school. Toward the end of the day, however, they were able to channel their energy into something productive: "They talked about how we should have a "Book Club", which would entail covering ourselves with the red Danger tape and holding signs saying that we want our books back. We talked about where best to do that, and by the end of the day we had agreed on holding our Book Club Protest out in front of Brightworks on Tuesday morning."
As the day went on, we saw the kids begin to transform from scared and agreeable – however upset – to the rules of the ban, into people who started to question why the ban was happening and disagree with the unreasonable barriers to their books.
Amanda's Green Band had a real transformative experience over the course of the day: "We grew from nervous stares and crying to quiet questioning and then whispers and then wondering if we could act out and then agreeing to be smart about it before we make any moves and then secretly questioning other people and then researching the Bill of Rights and then deciding the Federal Government is overstepping their bounds…. These kids, specifically, had a deeply innocent transcendence: I have to follow the rules; the rules seem unfair; these rules are wrong; I can't break rules!, but they're bad; can I break them a little bit?; can I break them a lot?; I have to be careful…. I get to let them convince me to push back against authority."
The energy and commitment that emerged in the afternoon carried into the evening. The kids from the Green Band started a chain of emails responding to the Ban and making a plan for the next day.
Kaia: I thought that the book ban was the craziest thing I have ever HEARD!!!!!!!! The government only wants to let america know about the good things its done! WHY TAKE AWAY BOOKS!!! They want people to not have ideas so they can be easier to control. I am a BOOK LOVER, so I'm really mad at the government for doing this! I think instead of taking the books away, they could do like, restricted shelves for the younger kids. We are feeling like some people in other country's who don't have BOOKS! They said that we could not talk about books, but in the Bill of Rights it says that people have the freedom of speech!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has happened in america before! Its not Brightworks to have no books! I HATE IT!
Frances: In the constitution it says people may do peaceful protests if they do not believe in something that is happening also amendment number 2 freedom of speech we should be allowed info about what's happening. Also my dad wa telling me about these kids at a school in LA and they just got up and walked out school then meet at some local place to discuss plans. Maybe something like that if I think of anything I will keep you posted. If you have any ideas please share them with me
Audrey: The book ban technically violates the law freedom of speech and the press, and a there's the law freedom of assembly, so as long as we protest peacefully we shouldn't get in trouble. Here are my two ideas,
1. Sneak books into school and everyone pulls them out during circle and start reading.
2. Make and hand out newspaper arm bands (because newspapers are like books but we don't want to rip up books) and write WE WANT OUR BOOKS BACK and we can brain storm other things to write on them.
Ally: I know I wasn't here today but my mom gave me the jist. I personally think that removing books is a stupid idea and I'm not happy about it. I would elaborate more but I'll save that for another time. I also saw in the Constitution there is something that we have the right to do peaceful protesting so that's an idea. Also, in the 4 amendment, if they don't have a warrant, they don't have the right to take books away from us. I could be completely wrong and they do have a warrant but if they don't then this is a loophole for us. I love Audrey's idea about circle too!
Oscar: well as it says in the bill of rights
Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.
so that means we can write whatever we want and not get in trouble, so i think we should write a newspaper about the ban…
oh yeah and i really think this ban makes no sense, because video games and movies influence kids more than books so if they ban books they should ban video games and movies too
Khalia: i think that theses people are talking the fun away from this school. I say this because this is very really mean. Maybe theses people are faking it. If they aren't this needs to be fixed because I am very mad. They are talking away one of the bill of rights away. THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucie: We should definitely do a peaceful protest.
I like Audrey's idea where we sneak books into school and all start reading at circle, and we could also do that with electronics. We could also sneak out and go to a library, and read tons of manga and other comic books… Wait, that manga thing is just me, and probably Ally.
Amanda: Do you think they'll confiscate the books at the door again? I am planning on bringing mine in, just in case. A getaway idea is good – we can think of a reason to leave (Apollo has to go to the groomer) and just escape for a while.
Lucie: Yeah, the arm band thing sounds interesting, I'm going to wear one tomorrow. ;3 I'm pretty sure they'll confiscate books again, but I'm bringing mine in anyway.
Ally: I second that.
Khalia: Yeah
Audrey: I like that mix of plans and if we get back to school in time we could hand the armbands out to other bands.
Lucie: I'm going to sneak in a book, no matter what anyone else is doing.
Hope, not despair; action, not passivity. What rules can be broken? What rules can be fought?
Day 2 – A Quiet Revolt
So sure enough, on Tuesday morning as the kids showed up to school, they staged a protest on the sidewalk – after they had to give up the books they deliberately brought to school in spite of the Ban. They made signs, armbands, and wore the Danger tape like a badge of honor. They protested the Contraband Confiscation table by bringing dozens of books to make things difficult for the collections officers.
During morning circle and a review of the book ban rules, students held up open books in silent protest and held up signs that said "Bring Books Back!" Gever requested that the Compliance Officers collect the "illegal" books, only to discover that the officers had fully aligned themselves with the students and the collaborators, and they now peacefully refused to participate in the Ban.
The Orange Band realized that while they, as minors, could not avoid the search, Mackenzie, as an adult, could claim her Fourth Amendment right against search and seizure. When she refused the contraband search at the front of the school, the compliance officers threw her out, followed by her students. But this was all part of their plan. The Orange Band had decided that instead of working at school, where they couldn't do school in the way they wanted without their books, they would find a place that would allow them to and left to the library with triumphant grins.
The building was quiet as most bands quietly left after circle, one by one, some declaring that they were headed out on "field trips". Most of the bands could soon be found at local libraries as the kids decided to make a change and fight back against the rules. They spent the day writing and researching for their arguments that they would make at Wednesday morning's hearing where the school would decide to follow the Book Ban — or not.
At the library, Mackenzie and her Orange Band did research and came to several great discoveries to use in the fight against the Ban: We read and discussed books about other non-violent protesters such as Gandhi, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. We held a work party with the Green Band making armbands and writing letters. Lola, all on her own, found a bunch of books about free speech including A Kid's Guide to the Bill of Rights. This book was full of awesome stories of kids standing up for what they believe in and cited a couple of supreme court cases that would further our cause…
At a nearby library, Rich was delighted by the passion the teenagers found in the experience: The Indigo Band realized that if they were going to present a compelling argument against banning books, they were going to have to do some research on book banning and, more importantly, the elements of a persuasive argument….Students researched the gifts of reading and learned how to turn an appeal into a well-crafted argument by covering the three aspects persuasive arguments: establish speaker credibility, appeal to the audience's emotions, and appeal to the audience's logic – the hearing against a book ban was turned into a crash course in rhetoric, Aristotle style.
Day 3 – The Hearing
On Wednesday morning, we all gathered on the cork floor to hear from each student. Everyone was encouraged to speak, no matter if someone had said the same thing right before them. The important thing was that everyone's voice was heard. It was a powerful morning! The combination of notes and prepared speeches and strong voices rang true in disagreeing with the Book Ban.
In the Yellow Band, the students explained that Brightworks felt different without books. Without books, they argued, students will miss out on having a good, solid education and won't be able to learn important lessons. "Characters set examples for us about how to behave," Ella said. "They inspire us to be better people." Books provide an escape. "People read books to help them get through things, like if times are tough, people will read a book to help them get through it," Jacob said. Evie added, "If there were no books, some people would be sad, which would be bad because we don't want people to be sad."
The Orange Band focused on the illegality of the Book Ban and discussed freedom of speech and freedom of the press and how both translate into freedom of books. If you are sad, mad, or bored, they said, you can turn to a book, step back from your troubles, and turn to another adventure in another place. They emphasized how books create empathy in readers and ultimately make the world a better place. They also cited a couple of court cases from their research on Tuesday that ruled that children are people, too, and that students have a right to access books whenever they want, and that it is unconstitutional to limit access to books. Also, they pointed out, banning books only makes kids want to read them more!
The Red Band appealed to the emotional part of books: reading makes your brain want to be more creative, books let readers go to a different world, they make readers learn more and are much better for your brain. They also help readers share with others and learn to read and write. Also, bluntly: "It's rude to take books away."
Green Banders asked questions: Where will you find out the things you don't know? How will we remember what we've already discovered if we can't read books? How will young students learn to read? They cited Albert Einstein, who said that if we want children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. Books inspire us to create new things, they said, and learn about cultures different from ours. Besides, as Ally said, "The most important reason is where would all those words go? Trust me, you do not want to deal with a bunch of words running all over the place. Believe me, I once ran into a crazy sentence and let's just say that it was not pretty."
Students in the Blue Band focused most heavily on the historical examples of book bans, mostly those that happened in China and Germany, and talked with authority about the First, Fourth, and Fifth amendments in the Bill of Rights. Aidan pointed out, "Benjamin Franklin created libraries so that people could have a free resource to use if they were called upon to serve on a jury or to testify in court. If the libraries limit information, people may not know important facts, and therefore not perform so well in court. People could be convicted guilty for a crime they didn't commit because of this." Laurel added, "With this ban, you're depriving our youth of the ability to read life's warning signs. This leaves us with a more illiterate society. The US already has around 250 million school-age kids who can't read. Do we really want more?"
The Indigo Band touched on the end of society as we know it and the end of intelligent human beings, if the Book Ban continued. Harry said, "Every time there has been an important discovery, there was a book that came with it. When evolution was discovered, On the Origin of Species was right there with Charles Darwin to back him up. To shed light on slavery and racism, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was there with a flashlight. And I think it's important to note, both of these books were banned, and yet they are two of the most influential books of all time. So please, lift this ban, before our society collapses." Ezra said, "If children aren't encouraged to read in school, they may not read at all, and that would put them in a situation where they could not function in today's world. Not having reading material can lead to illiteracy, and that can create major problems." The future is at stake, if there are no more books.
Each student had a prepared statement; the above are just a small fraction of the eloquent, heartfelt, and well-researched pieces we heard on Wednesday morning.
After lunch, we all met again on the cork floor. Gever, Ellen, and Justine appreciated the kids who spoke out against the ban and talked about how important the whole experience was for the whole community. They said that as we are a school that goes against the rules of what it means to be in school, and often goes against the conventions that other schools have to follow, we choose to go against this– and any– Book Ban rule. As a Brightworks community, we are thoughtful about what rules we follow and which rules we break – and at Brightworks, we will always break a rule that doesn't allow us to experience things fully, with the information we need, where we are. There were deafening cheers from the assembled students. The Ban was over.
As Orson Welles discovered after his War of the Worlds radio show aired in 1938 to widespread panic, there is no way to predict how people will react when faced with the possibility that everything they have known might change, in the blink of an eye. In the case of Brightworks, we saw and anticipated the trajetory, predicted a few of the reactions, and responded accordingly, in beautiful ways. In other ways that we didn't predict, the Book Ban brought incredible strength, surprising discoveries, and an emphasis on civil liberty to our students that only served to empower and encourage real-life thinking and understanding of what it means to know what rules and constraints are worth stretching. Books were banned for two days at Brightworks, and because of that experience, we have learned something about ourselves, our relationship to the government, and what books mean to each of us. As the students wrote on their protest signs:

|A series of three Hydrogen in Titanium Alloy Standard Reference Materials (SRMs 2452, 2453, and 2454) were prepared with hydrogen mass fractions bracketing the hydrogen specification limit of 125 mg/kg. Commercial titanium alloy Ti6Al4V (6 % aluminum, 4 % vanadium) was heated under vacuum in a furnace to remove native hydrogen, then doped with a measured quantity of hydrogen. Prompt gamma-ray activation analysis was used to determine hydrogen in the degassed material and finished SRMs. A combination of preparation data and PGAA measurement was used to certify the hydrogen mass fraction of each. The certified hydrogen mass fractions are 62.5 mg/kg ± 1.6 mg/kg for SRM 2452, 114 mg/kg ± 5 mg/kg for SRM 2453, and 211 mg/kg ± 4 mg/kg for SRM 2454.

So I wrote a letter of dispute and requested proof/evidence of this account being mine. They dragged me through court for almost a year and NEVER was able to show proof. The suit was dismissed as a "non-suit" whatever that means because they could not show evidence.
Now I want to buy a house but they are holding me up because they STILL claim I owe the money and refuse to take it off my credit and they had TWO law firms sueing me at the same time, only this time they are calling themselves "Zenith"
I have faxed the court document showing the case dismissed but they insist on harrassing me anyway. This account is past the statute of limitations as of the beginning of the month, but they persist.
