What They say…
Lee was an inspiration to our students. He engaged them straight away – no mean feet with 80 children ranging between Year 2 and Year 12. I am so appreciative of Lee's flexibility, adaptability and enthusiasm. Not to mention his awe inspiring musicianship. Lee had a great manner on stage which really captivated young and old during the performance. Thank you very much, I look forward to inviting you to work with us again in the future.
"Funny, personable, great at explaining and teaching and obviously very talented"
"Lee delivers exciting and innovative workshops that grabs the attention of all participants. Young or old, Lee fully engages with them, making it a positive experience for everyone. Lee has delivered many projects and one off workshops for ADeC (Arts Development East Cambridgeshire) he delivers above and beyond his brief, and I highly recommend him."
"…A huge thank you once again for your inspirational workshop last night at KES. We were highly delighted with the response of the students. I think that they were amazed to have a live musician at their school… The head of music said that the students get so little opportunity to see live music – and in your case, exceptional live music. I'm sure that we will endeavour to call on your services again in the future."
"I just wanted to say a big thank you for your performances on the Off-Air Stage. You were a great addition to CBBC Live in Newcastle Gateshead. The audience, CBBC Staff and presenters were suitably impressed with your skills. Good luck with everything and if anything comes up I'll pass on your details."

Brian Melton joined St. Elizabeth Physicians Dry Ridge full-time at the end of Jan. 2017.
Melton finished his nurse practitioner program at Northern Kentucky University in December 2016. Melton said it was an easy transition as his dad, Gary Melton, built the office 36 years ago and he spent a great deal of his childhood in the office.
More than 100 protesters gathered outside of the Ark Encounter in Williamstown on July 8 to voice their concerns over the business' influence in the area. The protest lasted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and featured several notable guest speakers, like author of the Friendly Atheist blog Hemant Mehta and Planned Parenthood state director Lauren Blauvelt-Copelin.
I grew up during the 1940s and 1950s. In those days, we bought gas at a service station, where they cleaned your windshield, pumped your gas, checked the air in your tires and checked your oil.
I can recall how strange it felt to pump my own gas for the first time.
We learned to dance with our sisters and brothers to all of the favorite music of the 50s. I even taught my brother, Randy, how to dance the polka as we watched the Lawrence Welk Show.
Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanted to throw in the towel?
Maybe it was even more than a day, maybe things kept going wrong so your bad day turned into a week, maybe a month or maybe even it felt like a whole year.
That's kind of what this year's Grant County Relay For Life event felt like.
The relay was originally set for May 19 at Grant County Park.
We gave up on the raspberries a couple of years ago, their fruit was so perishable and the plants lacked vigor.
We would cut the 'Royalty' raspberries all the way to the ground each year and forgo an early crop to manage disease but it didn't seem to pay off. It was never a total loss, but about half the canes would be dried up and diseased by now.
One problem that materialized is a condition called "doubles", which is caused by a virus, as are most bramble troubles.
One of the biggest differences that I see the more I am in ministry is that the American Church and the First Century Church pray for different things.
I know that is not a shocker for most of us. Now some of the things we pray for are quite obviously not what God would have us pray for. For example, I remember watching someone buy a lottery ticket one day and turn around to pray over that ticket.
Now that is clearly not something that we believe God is going to answer yes to right?

There Is Always a Struggle : An Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki
- Angel Hart

1 INTERVIEWS AND CONVERSATIONS There Is Always a Struggle : An Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki Note: Gregory A. Prince, a member of Dialogue s board of editors, conducted this interview with Chieko N. Okazaki on November 15, 2005, in her home in Salt Lake City. In addition to her career as an elementary school teacher and principal, she was the first non-caucasian to serve on any LDS general board (Young Women s Mutual Improvement Association, ) and is the first woman to serve on the general level of all three LDS women s auxiliaries. After serving on the Primary General Board, , she went directly from that calling to first counselor in the Relief Society presidency (March 31, 1990 April 5, 1997). She died on August 1, 2011, in Salt Lake City of congestive heart failure. Chieko Okazaki: In my meetings with the young women or with the Relief Society women, I m often really surprised that they do not feel that they can function as women in the Church not all of them, of course, but many of those who come to me and talk to me. I just keep wondering, How did they get to that point of feeling like they were not worth anything in the Church? Greg Prince: Did you feel that way when you were younger? Chieko Okazaki: No, not at all! I guess it was because I was raised by my parents, who were really raised by their grandparents, saying that I had a contribution to make in this world. My dad and my mom we were sort of on the far side of the track, as far as financial things were concerned. My dad was a plantation worker. I know he only made about $200 a month. At that time, in the Japanese way of life, the oldest son always had to give his money to the parents, and then his parents would give him an allowance for his family. So I just knew, from my earliest childhood, that this was 112
2 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 113 how things would be as long as my grandparents were there. Even as a child, I noticed that. But my parents told me, You are not going to have this life. You are going to the university and you are going to become somebody, and you are going to have another way of life, and not this plantation way of life. Even as a child I used to think, How are they going to do that? It costs to go to a university. One time I asked my mother, How can I do that? She said, You don t need to worry about that. You need to worry about getting there. You be the best student that you can, and do the best you can in school. I said, Okay, I ll do the best I can, and I ll study hard, and I ll do the work that I ve been given. I went both to the Japanese school and to the English school, and did my best. I was popular in school. When it was time for me to go to the university, I don t know how my mother and father had the money for my tuition, but they did. But I did work for my own personal needs. I worked at Sears, I worked at the Swedish Consulate, and at whatever jobs I could get. And I went to school at the same time. And I did make it. Then, I discovered and I write this in one of my stories about You have to walk in my zori, which means You have to walk in my slippers, to understand what my life was like. A few years ago, I thanked my mom for having given me that education and helping me to get to school. She said, It was a family effort, you know. I said, What was the family effort? Your two brothers and Dad and I made slippers. They sold those slippers for fifty cents a pair, and yet on the market they would probably be $2.50 or $3.00. She said, We saved the money from those slippers, and that was your tuition. I just cried. Greg Prince: You d known nothing about this? Chieko Okazaki: I didn t know anything. She didn t say anything to me. But I remember going back at Christmas and helping them do this. My two brothers would scrape the leaves and take the thorns off, then dry the leaf and roll it. My dad would cut it into the size of the slippers and weave it, and my mother would sew the leaf on the pad. It was hard work. I cried when she told me. My father had died many years earlier, but I also thanked my brothers, and they teased, Oh, you don t know how many cuts we had on
3 114 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 45, no. 1 (Spring 2012) our hands from the thorns. We all laughed, but I said, Well, that s a sacrifice you made for me, and I m very, very grateful for that. But anyway, what I see in this world today is that we forget who we are and where we came from....whenifirstcame to Utah in 1950, I noticed that most people didn t know that there was more than the white race. I came as an exchange teacher. My husband did his graduate work while I was doing this. People didn t know how to take me not my education status, but more who I was. I looked different. They wondered whether I could possibly be like them and whether I could teach their children, being Japanese. There were three parents who said they didn t want their children to be taught by me. But I had a very, very great principal. She was way ahead of her time, in relation to acceptance of different peoples and acceptance of their traditions and ideas. So she accepted me, just like that (snapping fingers), when she saw me. She was so grateful that I was placed in her school. She said to these reluctant parents, That will be fine, and she transferred those students to another second-grade class. I thought many of the parents would feel the same way not knowing my skills and my qualifications. I used to sew during those days, and I made a fuchsia dress. I had very black hair, and the fuchsia really looked dramatic with my hair, and then I topped it off by putting a f lower in my hair. All three of us second-grade teachers opened the door to the schoolyard that first day, and I saw many parents standing there with their children. I knew how unusual that was. Of course, parents bring their children to kindergarten and often for a few days in first grade, but for second-graders to have parents come that was really a message. I was pretty sure that they came to see who I was. The other two teachers said, Why don t you call your children first? I said, That will be fine. I just said, I m very happy to be here in this wonderful school and to be a part of this society here and to work with your children. I ll start calling the names of the children, and you come up and form a line and I ll take you to the classroom. So I said, James Backman. He came running up. I said, Goll, you just had a haircut, didn t you? I put my hand on his hair. He said, Yes, I did. I said, Well, you look really great.
4 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 115 He said, I want you to know that my dad is the president of the Salt Lake Board of Education. I said, Oh, that s nice to know. I called the name of the next child: Beth Benson. She came up, I said, Beth, you have beautiful hair. I love your braids. (I found something positive to comment about with each child.) Beth said, My daddy is an apostle in the Church. I said, Oh, yes, that s nice to know. And so it went. Each child s parents were heads of this and heads of that. I thought, What a class I m going to have! Thirtyfive children of very important parents. So I took my class in; and within a few days, those three women went to the principal and asked if their children could be returned to my class. The principal looked at them and said, Well, you know, opportunity just knocks once. I ve already changed them to another class. I ve had three other children take the places of your children. The principal then came running down and told me what had happened. She was really a great advocate and friend. I m telling that story to illustrate that Utah really was something of a closed society in many ways. It was difficult for many of the Saints here to really get to know others and to accept people who were not of their race. Of course, one of the best things that happened was the missionary program. When the missionaries were sent out into the different parts of the world, they began loving the people they worked with. This broadened their scope of understanding about what all human beings have in common. They began to understand the concept of Other sheep I have which are not of this fold (3 Ne. 15:21). But Ed and I just accepted that, where the older generation was concerned, there would still be some prejudice and some feeling of you re not as good as I am. I remember that one of the really hurtful things that I heard soon after we moved here was: If you were not born under the covenant, you can never enter the kingdom of Heaven. I d sit in church, listening to that, and I d think, How do you account for the people who are converts to the Church? How in the world can I be in this church? My principal used to be on the Sunday School General Board.
5 116 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 45, no. 1 (Spring 2012) She came in one day and said, Chieko, do you realize that I fought for you yesterday? I said, You did? Yes. In my class, they talked about people who are not born under the covenant that they will not be able to enter the kingdom of Heaven. I said, You ve heard that, too? Yes, and I fought for you. I said, Do you mean to tell me that Chieko, who is a convert, will not be eligible for the kingdom of heaven? And the teacher said, That s right. That s the doctrine. Anyway, we don t hear things like that anymore, and it definitely isn t the doctrine. But that s what we ve progressed from. That s why I think people of my generation white members of the Church always have a little bit of a problem with racial prejudice. They don t talk about it, and it certainly has mellowed; but I m sure if they had to make a choice in relation to their child or grandchildren marrying into another race, they d have hard feelings about it and might try to stop it. I remember when I was a student at the University of Hawaii during World War II, one of the apostles of the Church at our stake conference spoke. I was a member of the Japanese Branch, and of course we all went, although I have to say it was hard for us to go to the tabernacle, because everybody else was white people. We felt that we were intruding somehow. Many servicemen were present, and this apostle said very bluntly, I want all of you soldiers to know that you are not to get into the situation where you would like to be married to any of these people. And you women, you are not to get to the point of integrating yourself to the point where you think you are going to be married to one of these men. Each of these men has a person waiting for him in one of the wards in the city they come from. I remember how surprised I was. It was a completely new topic to me, and maybe it was a problem for some of the older young adults there. I d never dated in high school, because I was focusing on my education. In fact, I didn t date in college until I was a sophomore. So to me, that wasn t a problem. But I thought, Why is it that the Church doesn t look upon us, who are of a different race, as worthy to marry a white Mormon man? If we are daughters and sons of God, I don t think the Lord would look at
6 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 117 us and say, You re different, so there are things you can t do. I realized that I was still learning about the gospel, but that was a contradiction that I tucked into the back of my mind. I had to think more about the contradictions when Ed and I moved to Utah. (Ed was Japanese, like me.) One of our friends was marrying a white person, and they could not get married in the temple because the state had what was called a Mongoloid law. They had to go to Canada to get married in the Cardston Temple. That was in I remember thinking about that scripture when the Lord said, Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, and I could understand that, where ethnicity was concerned, I really was not of this fold. So Ed and I really could have left the Church here in Utah. What I understood as the gospel message didn t match what we encountered so often with the people. There was a big gap in so many ways. Again, my mother s wisdom helped. She said, Know that you know the truth she wasn t a Mormon. She was a Buddhist until she died and others haven t learned it yet. So just hold fast and let the rest go. So that s what we did. We just held on and tried to look at the doctrines of the gospel rather than how people behaved sometimes, and believed that our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ would not look at us as any different from white members. For a long time, we weren t asked to serve in any Church callings. But I m glad to say that when our wards got to know us and realized that we could contribute, we were asked to serve. My husband got his degree in social work at the University of Utah. He worked for the American Red Cross for a while, and then with the Veterans Administration as a psychiatric social worker. Then he became the first director of aging for the whole state of Utah. Then he was offered an excellent position with the government in Denver. That s when we moved to Colorado. We found a different climate, a lot more openness. We had neighbors of all religions, including Jews. So there we were, Mormons, and we just were part of it. But even the Mormons had a lot more openness about them. I noticed that right away. We felt free to associate with one another and talk openly about things that we couldn t bring up in Utah. I remember in Utah that a few times Ed and I tried to
7 118 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 45, no. 1 (Spring 2012) express our feelings about some of the things we noticed, and we got a pretty stiff response, like: Whoa! Are you trying to change our attitude? So we quickly learned never to discuss the questions we had about the gospel and how we were treated. But in Denver as I listened to other people and the way they talked about things, I thought, Well, in this society, I probably could. Greg Prince: Did you? Chieko Okazaki: Yes, I did. People always used to ask me, whenever I gave a talk, How is it that you are able to do that? I said, Well, it is the truth, isn t it? But how did you get away with doing that? I said, I m not getting away with anything. I m just saying what I think. I ve had a wonderful life, being in Hawaii and being raised by my parents, and then coming here and having all these opportunities. My patriarchal blessing had one section that I did not really understand at the time I received it. Would you like me to read that? Greg Prince: Sure. I d love it. Chieko Okazaki: It s kind of interesting. I thought maybe it was answered when I was on the general board of the Young Women. No. Then, when we went to Japan. No. When I became a member of the Primary board. No. This blessing was given to me by Eldred G. Smith, who was the Church patriarch: Thou shalt also receive the greater blessings promised, of knowledge, wisdom and understanding, and the Lord shall be mindful of thee, as he has been in the past, that thine understanding shall be quickened, that thou shalt recognize truth, that thine understanding and knowledge of the principles of the Gospel and the plan of life and salvation shall continually be increased unto thee. Through thy efforts to impart thereof to others, the Lord shall bless thee with increased abilities and opportunities in teaching, and thine influence and power for good, especially of thy kin and thine associates, shall essentially be increased. And through thy righteous living and thy teachings, they as well as others shall heed thy teachings and counsel, and bless thee for thy interest in their behalf. And the Lord shall be mindful of thee and thy efforts therein, and shall assist thee with success. Thou shalt be an influence and power for good, especially among thine associates. Thou shalt not lack for friends and associates, especially among those of thy sex, for they shall come unto thee seeking counsel and advice, and in thy efforts in teaching unto them
8 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 119 of the principles of the gospel and the plan of life and salvation, they shall bless thee for thy interest in their behalf. The Lord has blessed thee with special gifts and talents and abilities. As thou shalt continue to use them in assisting others and further promoting the work of the Lord on the earth, the Lord shall reward thee richly, giving unto thee additional talents and abilities and means sufficient to be successful therein, for his providing care shall be ever with thee. And thy household shall not be in need for the necessities of life, and many blessings shall be added unto thee in the time of their need. Thy testimony of the divinity of the gospel shall continue to grow with thee, and give unto thee courage and strength to follow thy righteous convictions, through which thou shalt be assisted to withstand the trials and temptations of life, with joy and rejoicing in thy heart. Greg Prince: When was it given? Chieko Okazaki: It was given on December 2, Greg Prince: When did it dawn on you that it contained a remarkable promise? Chieko Okazaki: Well, I read and read it over and over. Because we were Japanese, people would ask, Who are you? We d go to church, and they would wonder whether I could even speak English. Florence Jacobsen, who was the general president of the Young Women s Mutual Improvement Association, called me to be on her board. I was the first non-caucasian to ever be called as a general officer in the Church, on any general board. Greg Prince: Any general board? Chieko Okazaki: Any general board. Even among the Seventies, there was not anyone who came from another race. Greg Prince: Was there resentment? Chieko Okazaki: No. In fact, once I asked Florence, How did you get my name past President McKay? (He was president of the Church then.) She said, Oh, he was fine, as far as that was concerned. Later, he called Ed as president to open the second mission in Japan when the mission was divided. I was interviewed by Elder Ezra Taft Benson for the YWMIA board. He knew who I was, because I was his child s teacher. He said to me, Chieko, I want you to know that you are a pioneer. I thought, Pioneer? In what sense am I a pioneer? because it had certainly been impressed upon us that we weren t pioneers like
9 120 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 45, no. 1 (Spring 2012) those who had crossed the plains. Then I realized that I was the first one who had been called to any of these general boards or any part of the Church hierarchy. So when I got this blessing and read it, I thought, Where am I going to have these kind of blessings, where the women will come to me and seek advice? So this blessing was in my mind in all of my callings. And women did come to me. But at that time, I wasn t able to speak like I spoke when I was in the general presidency. Greg Prince: Were they coming to you even before you went on the general board? Chieko Okazaki: Not as much. I served on the stake level in Denver; our first callings in Utah were on the ward level. But I was not open. I was still studying the environment and the people. I could tell that there were certain things you could not say and many things to be careful about, so I was. So I didn t speak as I did when I was in the general presidency. By that time, I had matured and had grown. But as I read my patriarchal blessing, I thought, When is this going to happen? It was interesting when I was on Florence s board and used to go to conferences. In one of the conferences in the East, I heard that one of the women said, I came here to see if she could speak English. They had never been with people of another race in a Church setting. Here I was, representing the YWMIA program, speaking to them and teaching them in their classes, and she was curious to know whether I could speak English. So she came. All those kinds of experiences made me wonder more than ever, Elder Smith, why did you say these things? But I realized, when I got called to the presidency of the Relief Society, that this was the time of fulfilling that blessing. I also have to read to you from my setting-apart blessing when I was called into the Relief Society general presidency. Greg Prince: President Benson was Church president then, wasn t he? Chieko Okazaki: Yes, but he couldn t function very well, so President Gordon B. Hinckley was basically in charge. Also present were President Monson and Elder Russell M. Nelson, who was the apostle with oversight for the auxiliaries. President Hinckley spoke to us for about an hour or so about our responsibilities and
10 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 121 what came to his mind. And then he said, We will now set you apart in your positions. Sister Elaine Jack, you will be set apart by President Monson. And Sister Okazaki, I will set you apart. And Elder Nelson will set you apart, Sister Aileen Clyde. I thought, This is not Church protocol. President Hinckley should have set Sister Jack apart. I think everyone noticed. Even my husband thought that. After we left, he said, That was really strange. President Hinckley was in charge, and he should have set apart Sister Jack. But nevertheless, this is what the blessing was. You know how verbally skilled President Hinckley is. Words just f low out of his mouth. But I noticed he stopped very often, like he was receiving some kind of guidance. He wasn t as f luent as he usually was. Greg Prince: Was he doing that throughout the blessing? Chieko Okazaki: Yes. It was like he was waiting for something to come to him. As he went on, the words seemed to come more easily. (reading) Sister Chieko Okazaki, We, your brethren, holding the holy Melchizedek Priesthood, acting in the authority of that priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ, lay our hands upon your head and set you apart as First Counselor to Sister Jack in the general presidency of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and give unto you every right and responsibility appertaining therein. We charge you to be true and faithful to the great and sacred trust which is placed in you as you serve in the presidency of this vast organization of members of the Church who have faith in their hearts and testimony concerning this great latter-day work. We compliment you on the call which has come to you. We bless you for your faithful service in the past, in many capacities. We feel to say unto you that you bring a peculiar quality to this presidency. You will be recognized as one who represents those beyond the borders of the United States and Canada, and as it were, an outreach across the world to members of the Church in many, many lands. They will see you as a representative of their oneness with the Church. We bless you that you may be free in speaking, that your tongue may be loosed as you speak to the people. We bless you that you may be wise in counsel, that you may be inspired in what you say. We urge you to speak to these issues which come before this presidency and in your board meetings, that you may freely express your
11 122 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 45, no. 1 (Spring 2012) thoughts. But remember then, when a decision is made by your president, that becomes your decision, as it becomes the decision of the entire presidency and the board. We bless you with health and strength and vitality, according to your needs. We bless you with great happiness in this assignment. We bless you with faith and testimony and the spirit of prayer, that you may implore your Father in Heaven for that light and understanding and knowledge and the strength which you will need while you serve in this capacity. We bless you with the watch care of the Lord as you travel over land and sea in pursuit of your responsibilities under assignment of the presidency. We bless you that you may be a strength to Sister Jack, a great strength to her, and to Sister Clyde and to the board and to the work, and that you may speak with inspired wisdom to the people as the occasion may require. Now, dear Sister Okazaki, you have many friends who love you in various lands. We bless you that your friends may be multiplied and that you may have cause to rejoice and thank the Lord for his great favor upon you. We bless you in your home that there may continue to be peace and harmony and respect, with you and your husband standing as examples before the people of what family life should be. We bless you and your posterity, and we commend you to our Father in Heaven as his honored and chosen servant, and invoke upon you every needed gift and grace and blessing and you go forward with this assignment, and do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Greg Prince: That s quite a blessing. Chieko Okazaki: It is! I just listened to that, and I thought, My gosh! When people ask, How is it that you are able to speak the way you do?, I say, I was given a blessing, that I would speak my mind. It was really interesting, because all of our talks had to go through the First Presidency, and nothing was changed. Nothing in my talks was changed. Greg Prince: These were talks in general conference, or other venues as well? Chieko Okazaki: General conference. But still, I was very open in general conference, too. These are the women and men who said to me, I heard you in general conference, and that s why they were asking how I could speak the way I could.
12 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 123 When we were called, Aileen and I, it dawned on us that we two were very different women. I give Elaine a great deal of credit, because she could have chosen her friends. We were not her friends, at all. We didn t know each other. We got to know each other when we became a presidency. Greg Prince: So how was it that Elaine chose you? Chieko Okazaki: I asked her, and she said that she just took all the names of the people on the boards, and she prayed about it, and then she looked at each name. Every time she came to my name, her finger would stop. She said she did that several times, and she always stopped on my name. So she said it must be that I would be one of her counselors. I think she did the same thing with Aileen. I think she took names of people from the community and did that. Greg Prince: Did she know you? Chieko Okazaki: No, we didn t know each other. I knew who she was, but we never had any opportunities to speak to each other or be in social groups. So when we were set apart was the first time we met. We shook hands and got to introduce ourselves to each other. She was praying really hard, and the Lord was with her. But some people probably wondered what she was doing calling me. In fact, I got a letter I should mention that I had only two negative letters from women all the time I was in the presidency I got a letter from a woman in Texas. She said, Dear Sister Okazaki, I don t know how you got to be first counselor to the general president of the Relief Society. You have worked, you have only two children. She was very angry about the fact that I had been a working woman. I wrote back to her and said, Dear Sister So-and-so, I thank you for taking the time to write to me. But I must tell you that I didn t apply for this job. I didn t get a response back. Greg Prince: What was the other letter? Chieko Okazaki: I got the other letter after my first book, Lighten Up, came out. This sister wrote: I m going to throw your book away. I told my husband I was going to throw it away and he said, Don t throw it away. I ll keep it. It s because you never mention anything about the stay-at-home woman. I don t know if I men-
13 124 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 45, no. 1 (Spring 2012) tioned anything about women who worked, either. I wrote back to her and I said, Don t throw it away. Send it back to me and I ll send you a check for it. I did get an answer back. She wrote and said, Well, I thought about it, and I looked at it again, and I decided to keep it. Those were the two negative letters I got. All the others were, Please help me, or I loved what you said, or You made me feel so good in your talk. Greg Prince: What was the feedback that you would get from women? Were you reaching women who hadn t been reached before by anybody? Chieko Okazaki: You just cannot believe the response, especially after I gave the talk in Oregon on sexual abuse and then taped it and Deseret Book sold thousands of copies. Even today, every time I speak, at least two women will come up afterward and, no matter what I was talking about in their meeting, they ll say, Thank you so much for that tape. And I know exactly what they mean. They ll say things like: You put me over the hump. I ve gone to the psychotherapist for a long, long time, and look at me today. I feel fine. Thank you for that tape. Greg Prince: Had anybody talked about it in that venue before? Chieko Okazaki: No. This was so interesting. Sometimes I tell the Lord, Why do you put me in such a situation? Every time I m invited to speak at a women s conference, I talk to the stake Relief Society president and ask, What are your needs? Tell me your sisters needs. What would you like me to talk about. This time, the Relief Society president said, Sexual abuse. I said, Say that again? Sexual abuse. I said, Is there anything else? She had another topic, and I asked, Which of these would you like me to talk about? She said, I hate to say this, but I wish you could speak about sexual abuse. I was thinking, You must be kidding, but I said I would and then I prayed and prayed. I had worked with some people who had this problem in their past to deal with, but I certainly wasn t an expert. And when I got there, that place was just packed! Greg Prince: Did they know, in advance, that was what you were going to speak on? Chieko Okazaki: No, they didn t. No one knew except the stake Re-
14 Prince: Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki 125 lief Society president and the stake president and the Regional Representative. I didn t want to go over their heads. But just in case, I also prepared another talk. Greg Prince: So they all signed off on it in advance? Chieko Okazaki: Yes. I read that talk over the phone to the stake president, and he said, Great. I called the Regional Representative and I read it to him, and he said, That s great. I saw some men in the audience, and I thought they would be bishops. The other board member I went with was having a great time, making people laugh, doing a light-hearted, encouraging talk. I whispered to the stake Relief Society president, I don t think I can speak after that. She said, You re going to. I looked at the stake president, and he said, Yes. So I thought, Well, here I go. I started, and I gave a little bit of humor in the beginning. Then I got into it. There was silence. You could hear a pin drop. And then you could hear sniff les, people crying. There was a woman in the front row who just burst into tears and cried through the rest of the talk. All through the audience there were tears coming down. I thought, Oh, what have I done? But I went right on. After the meeting it was 8:30 when we were through until 10:00 there was a line of people who wanted to talk to me. At the end was a man. I thought, Oh, don t tell me I m going to talk to a man about being sexually abused. I knew it happened to boys as well, but I just wasn t prepared for it. He said, I m a bishop. He thanked me for being brave enough to give this talk. He said, I have worked with ninety women. It got to the point where I could not say no to these women for therapy. The stake president and the Regional Representative stopped me from using Church funds, so I used my own money so these women could get therapy. Ninety! When inactive women heard that he was helping abuse victims, they had hope and wanted to talk to him. It s awful, when you think about it. Greg Prince: All the women who were in line to talk to you, what was the message they were giving you? Chieko Okazaki: They were saying, Thank you so much for opening this up. Thank you so much that I don t need to hide by my-

The owner gave us a free bus pass to get into Savona. It was outdated, dark and cold.
Ceiling paintings great. bREAKFAST good. No toilet roll in bathroom. vERY hard to find.
Very frendly and helpfull staf. Good breakfast. There was no parking place, where to leave a car.
The decor was fantastic, like going back in time 300 years. Breakfast was very good, varied and plentiful. Furniture was also period, though the door fell off our bedroom cabinet. Bed was comfortable and atmosphere was peaceful. Great value for money. Very different experience. Our hostess seemed a little harassed as she was fully booked and spent a lot of time on the phone. She opened the door and left us on the door step. the hotel was not that easy to find,and parking places nearby a bit hit and miss.
Staff is well prepared to serve travelers of Corsica Ferries. No private bathrooms.
the family atmosphere
Pleasant place with some old fashioned style
Fantastic place. Old world, wonderful person, made us a rec. for dinner at a lovely real spot. The small town, while near the ferries to Corisca etc. is interesting and lively. We loved it. My husband helped the owner translate to another group. This type of place is fading fast. For certain types of travelers, it beats all. We loved it!! But for some, it might not suit. It is a Bed and Breakfast, technically, but so much more. If you are looking for a regular hotel experience, this is not for you. That said, it is fantastic if you want to stay in the current, real Italy on your way to wherever.
from the outside you did not realize the what was inside like going back in time high painted ceiling and a great host no ensuite but a good large bathfoom
beautifull furniture, wall paintings, stairs breakfast: more fresh bread and cheese
The hotel is absolutely great. We really felt like at home. The owner, Bruno, offering great service and treat you like his best friend. Rooms are excellent, breakfast is great. The view is just fantastic. It's a pity we had only a few days there and couldn't make testing of their own wines. I will definitely go there for more.
The people, the wine, the area. In fact - everything, except the pizzaria down the road who appeared to have a dislike for English people.
the location was beautiful, surrounded by a cathedral, vineyards, rolling hills and other homes similar to Del Tufo - Bruno and Agatha made us feel welcomed and at home in their home. It was difficult to find - Google maps does okay to a point, but route #'s end at a certain point and you're basically on your own - a detailed map would be helpful.
Tranquil atmosphere. Fantastic views. Charming hospitality. No air conditioning. Staff couldn't speak one word of English (and we can't speak Italian)
No one else was there Beware of barking dogs all night

"Why is the world so beautiful?†— this is a question Robin Wall Kimmerer pursues as a botanist and also as a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She writes, "Science polishes the gift of seeing, indigenous traditions work with gifts of listening and language.†An expert in moss — a bryologist — she describes mosses as the "coral reefs of the forest.†Her work opens a sense of wonder and humility for the intelligence in all kinds of life we are used to naming and imagining as "inanimate.†She says that as our knowledge about plant life unfolds, human vocabulary and imaginations must adapt.

Creepy doc. He launched into a pelvic exam with absolutely no preliminary words to me, as if I was a dummy laying on the table. Clinical competence is useless if you have no humanity. Thank heavens for sites like Vitals that expose bad doctors.

I have worked for Dr. Herz for almost 10 years and I am aware of the situation that occurred with the patient from Desert Cancer Foundation, Dr. Herz was more than willing to see the patient, but the patient and the Dr. that did the surgery needed to contact Desert Cancer Foundation and make arrangements for Dr. Herz to see the patient and to complete the required paperwork. Dr. Herz is more than willing to work with patient's that have no insurance or have limited insurance. Our rates have not changed in the 10years that I have worked for him.

I recently had a cancerous anal tumor removed. As I have no insurance and am low income, I was blessed to find the Desert Cancer Foundation who is paying for my treatment using up to this point 3 doctors. As a part of post op recovery I had to have a catheter inserted to drain my bladder. At the time of that procedure my surgeon told me to contact Dr. Herz to have it removed. I called to make an app't. and was told Dr. Herz would not honor Desert Cancer Foundation's request to remove the catheter. The wonderful doctors who participate in the Foundation accept a lesser rate than their normal fee to help patients. A concept that falls deafly on this money hungry quack's ears!

Bedside manner
Great diagnosis. Bedside manner is lacking. Explanations of procedures is geared for people in medical field...not the average Joe. Seems to be rushing in order to get to next patient. Follow up after surgery was non existent for 2 weeks. In his defense, he may have saved my life with the accurate diagnosis...I have praise for him in that area. If his connection to his patients matched his diagnostic skills, he would rate 4 stars.

I went to see Dr. Herz because I was having trouble urinating after rotator cuff surgery. After having a catheter in for over 5 weeks,with no instructions on how to care for it or having it changed, I developed sepsis. When I gave these symptoms to Dr. Herz he dismissed it and said see me in 2 months. When I was rushed to the hospital with 18 hours to live I requested him . His reply to the hospital staff was "Yes he is my patient,no I will not come to the hospital to see him". I was in disbelief. The hospital recommended another urologist for me.

Absolutely no people skills!
Dr Herz was the on-call urologist treating my husband at Eisenhower Emergency. My husband was in severe pain but there wasn't a word of empathy or simple concern from Dr. Herz. He made some uncalled-for, very negative comments. I am not questioning or complaining about the medical treatment or physician competency. But obviously in over 30 years of practice, Dr Herz hasn't learned to 'care' for people. Maybe Dr Herz has to be a patient himself and experience a very high level of pain, before it is possible for him to treat people in a more humane way...or he should stick to cadavers.

The best you could ask for
Dr. Herz is thorough, direct and caring.Too many doctors like to keep patients "in the dark", but not Dr. Herz. He gets to the bottom of your problem and tells you how to be the best patient to help cure your problem.

Updated with Video: Turkish Sources - Israeli Advance Target Assassination List Found on Flotilla
I archived this video and then uploaded it in case it "disappears" with larger images of the purported hit list. A translation is warranted since this is not one of the languages I speak. Sound quality is good, though.
"Turkish sources and media revealed a document which shows that a death list had been prepared in advance by the Israelis, showing names and pictures of people on board of the ships to be murdered, who, according to Israel, were "involved in the International humanitarian aid for Gaza". According to the Turkish sources, hundreds of Israeli soldiers stormed the blue Turkish ship "Marmara" flotilla and they had copies of the death list. The list included the names of civilians on the fleet who should be killed". The document was apparently recovered after one of the Israeli soldiers lost it during the piracy act."

If I prove my worth by gathering enough ebon ash, the woodcutter promised to help me further my training.
II. Hand in Ebon Ash Edit

- As with all resource gathering quests, this quest can be started at any of the three trainers (Taromus in Poitain, Comgan in Lacheish Plains, or Neseptor in Purple Lotus Swamp). It can be turned in to any of these NPCs as well (and a character does not have to turn-in the quest to the same NPC with whom they began it). This quest may only be started after the completion of Ash.
- Only [Ebon Ash] personally cut or looted by the character will count toward completion of this quest. Purchased or traded Ebon Ash (and Ebon Ash obtained before the quest is begun) will not count.
- The character must have one Ebon Ash in inventory when they go to turn in the quest. If they have completed the gathering phase but, for some reason, do not have an Ebon Ash in inventory, the trainer will have a greyed-out query mark over their head.

Question about HP Deskjet 5440 InkJet Photo Printer
Posted by p_armstrong on
I suggest you get a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy
paper) and place it in the feed way. Then press the print
button applying a slight amount of pressure on the Card Stock so it
will feed through the printer. The reason for this is in some cases I
have been able to clear the paper track of debris that was deposited there
over time.
Worth a try, as I have fixed a number of printers this way, saving costly repairs.
Hope this helps. Bud

Division Three Round-Up
By Rob Lancaster
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Tigers were grateful to a goal from Stuart Green after they had fallen behind to a strike from Andy Preece (pictured) at Brunton Park.
Doncaster now sit just a point behind in second after a goal from Gregg Blundell on 45 minutes was enough to give them the win over Macclesfield.
Oxford slipped up at Yeovil as Andy Bishop's strike on 29 minutes gave Gary Johnson's side all three points.
Mansfield continued their promotion push with a win at Bootham Crescent against York City.
Liam Lawrence and Richard Pacquette gave The Stags a two goal lead and, despite Lee Nogan pulling one back for the hosts, they managed to hang on to remain in touch with the top three.
Huddersfield solidified their play-off place with 1-0 win over promotion rivals Torquay at Plainmoor.
The long journey to the South Coast from Yorkshire proved profitable as Nathan Clarke netted on 71 minutes to seal the win. They were forced to hang on for the win after Tony Carss was given his marching orders.
The battle between Lincoln and Scunthorpe ended all square thanks to Cleveland Taylor's late equaliser for The Iron.
Taylor, on loan from Premiership side Bolton, found the net with just eight minutes to go to cancel out Peter Gain's strike ten minutes before half-time.
Southend continued their fine home form with a commanding victory over Kidderminster.
