The big art sell-off
The effect of David Cameron's "big society" will be to drive artists and performers into the arms of
By Stewart Lee Published 02 August 2010Apparently, we must all tighten our belts. That's easy for David Cameron to say, cycling and being all trim. I've put on two stone in the past three years of touring, but it's not only my waistline that needs squeezing.
If you read between the lines of the "big society" manifesto, Dave seems to be encouraging charity organisations to take on many of the social services currently provided by the government. There may be some logic in getting us to take responsibility for ourselves; Dave himself is a good example of someone who has made it to the top of society on his own initiative despite a difficult start in life.
But the problem with expecting charities, philanthropists and religious groups to pick up the slack is that they often have their own agenda. I remember a local London news moment in which an evangelical church coalition, encouraged by the mayor to help tackle gun crime, cited homosexuality as one of its causes. Those gays! Shooting everyone up. With their guns.
Obviously, compared to the Uzi-fuelled turf war raging outside my Hackney window, the future of the arts in the big society is not terribly important. But as arts budgets are slashed, it seems that we artists (and I use the word loosely, as I am a stand-up comedian) will have to get used to making Faustian pacts with private donors and big corporations.
This is not as simple as it seems. An arts charity of which I am a patron (have I mentioned that I do secret, behind-the-scenes work for charity?) recently asked me if I'd meet someone from a big supermarket about funding. But when the writs hit the fan over Jerry Springer: the Opera, a multi-award-winning live piece I co-wrote the words for at the National Theatre, the same supermarket withdrew DVDs and CDs of the show from its shelves. Right-wing religious groups had threatened a boycott. (As a result, I make a point of shoplifting one small item whenever I visit the store.)
How would this big backer react if the going got tough? Art can be a slippery thing, its meaning often opaque, its intent sometimes unclear. It's not necessarily compatible with shifting baked beans, even the low-fat ones that we all must now eat.
Artists are sensitive creatures who may feel compromised by sponsorship. At a Tate Britain party this summer, protesters celebrated the gallery's 20-year relationship with BP by sloshing around treacle (doubling for crude oil), as arts grandees politely applauded their right to do so and munched their globally warmed canapés. In the fallout, Grayson Perry said that corporate funding for the arts was vital. But Mark Ravenhill, the former enfant terrible and current homme terrible of British theatre, proposes a big-society-type audit solution to arts institutions' corporate development departments: slash them if it can't be proven that the money they raise outweighs their running costs. The Raven suggests that corporate arts culture means artists hear more feedback from bankers' spouses than from consumers of culture.
In stand-up, we have our own teacup-tempest version of this debate. For the past 30 years at the Edinburgh Fringe, there has been an annual award for comedy. This year, Foster's lager has picked up its sponsorship. Foster's also recently became the sponsor of Channel 4 comedy. In June, the beer's logo appeared before a Jack Whitehall routine in which the young comic questioned the point of paying for the surround-sound experience of the South African World Cup, making it feel like you were there - as it would just mean you got Aids and had your TV nicked. Technically, it's a neat enough joke. But I used to like Foster's. Now, it makes me think of babies with Aids.
Divine consternation
Attempting to link the Fringe comedy awards with the Foster's brand, the organisers have invited the public to vote online for a "Comedy God", drawn from nearly 200 past nominees, with little video evidence of the majority of them for the benefit of the conscientious voter who didn't attend the past 30 Fringes. Presumably, no one was asked if they minded their name being used to drive traffic to a Foster's website.
It's just a bit of summer fun, said the organisers, after I sent them a rude 12.30am email in a fit of rage. But it isn't. The way public polls work, whoever is now the best-known comedian in Britain among internet users - Michael McIntyre, say, or Russell Howard - will probably win, and the sponsor will be happy to its profile raised by association, at the expense of hundreds of other artists who never agreed to be part of a Foster's marketing exercise. I suggested that Frank Chickens, a Japanese performance-art duo nominated in 1984, might be the best act on the list but would not get any votes because the public hadn't heard of them.
And yet, in the age of Twitter, Frank Chickens are now leading the field. It's not impossible, come 25 August, that corporate money might be used to highlight Kazuko Hohki's three-decade career of idiosyncratic multimedia live art, rather than an already wealthy, chat-show-friendly stand-up who might have been an easier fit with the Foster's brand. If state funding is to fall and the corporate money is out there, the question is: can we find some way to use it for our own ends?
Stewart Lee will perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 4-30 August. His new book, "How I Escaped My Certain Fate", is published by Faber & Faber.

Whenever you get a Labour government, you have art expression, in the long run. Don't take their short term licking at the present, arties, it will not last.
Gruffudd, at his best, and shows why I think my great -grandfather was a bit jewish in Pembroke Dock, because he was taught tailoring by his grand-dad, and they did a good trade from seamen coming home on boats, pockets full.
I think this might be more up Stewart Lees street, less regional, and foreign, with no herrings to sell,

When are they going to take responsibility for taxing the top 2 percent., who are presently immune to tax. I am not going to take anything cameron says about all bieng part of the cut backs, until he makes the biggest of all culpable. While this lasts it makes a mockery of his supposedly grounded ideas. the favoured few are bieng mollycoddled and fawned over. Get real Eton boy. We know you are looking after your own.
Have we had our dosh back from the bankers, yet?
Surely those with more fat, Stewart's girth notwithstanding, should do the belt-tightening? When we all have our belts on the same notch, that's when we should all start paying.
Until then, the not-so-cuddly Lib Dems who are facilitating this looting by the rich can frakk off and dig a deep hole to bury themselves in.

PHOENIX - Members of the Maricopa County sheriff's posse are getting another round of training as part of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's plan to defend Phoenix-area schools against gunmen.
Action movie star Steven Seagal was going to be at Saturday's training session, but he had to travel out of state to tend to an important matter.
Seagal said in a statement that the posse program remains one of his passions.
Arpaio says he's looking for more people to join the posse. He anticipates needing 1,000 more citizens to become trained posse members to fully implement his school protection plan.
Arpaio announced the controversial plan in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting that left 27 people dead.
Maricopa County has the largest posse in the nation with nearly 3,500 members.

Early morning storms in northwest Georgia caused widespread damage in many counties, as huge trees toppled across powerlines and onto houses. No injuries were reported to the National Weather Service.
Dade and Gordon counties saw "pretty significant" damage, according to forecaster Kent Frantz.
Dade County Elementary School was damaged, among other significant damage, Frantz said.
In Calhoun, a roof was blown off a law office across the courthouse, according to Christy Nickelson, with the Emergency Management Agency.
"There may be the possibility of a tornado touchdown, but we won't be able to assess it until tomorrow," Frantz said. "Right now we are focusing on the next round of storms."
Whitfield, Murray, Catoosa and Walker counties all reported fallen trees and minor damage.
In Sugar Valley, in northwestern Gordon County, the storm uprooted huge oak and pine trees, with rows of them laid over like dominoes. Snapped-off trunks jutted into the blue sky, dotted with a few clouds.
Small branches and strewn green leaves covered many of the roads in the area.
Lamar Brown picked up dozens of branches scattered across a cemetery next to the Hall Memorial Baptist Church. His white beard blew in the wind as he carefully gathered the debris from the graves.
A caretaker at the church, Brown said he had just arrived to do some repair work at the church when the storm hit.
"It came a monsoon," Brown said. "Raining so hard, I couldn't see a few feet in front of me. And the trees were bending across the power lines."
The storm tore vinyl siding from the roof, but left the church otherwise undamaged.
Crews and trucks from various utility companies clogged the roads in many counties as crews worked to restore power.

Governor's Budget Proposal Impacts HRA Programs & Consumers HRA Mission Statement On January 10th, Governor Schwarzenegger released the state's proposed spending plan for FY 2005/06. While the state's fiscal problems call for We Strive to strengthen families by assuring safety, difficult choices and spending cuts to bring expenditures in line with promoting self-sufficiency, revenue received, the administration's proposal seeks to solve the budget eliminating poverty, and gap with disproportionate cuts to social services. Included in the budget are significant improving the quality of life reductions for health and human services and major program reforms for CalWORKs and in our community. In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). CalWORKs The governor has recommended $650 million in cuts to CalWORKs grants We Serve children, youth, and services. The budget calls for a 6.5% reduction in cash assistance grants for families families and individuals who and seeks to permanently eliminate the annual cost-of-living adjustment for CalWORKs may be job seekers, recipients, amounting to a loss of $47 for a family of three. The budget also includes a veterans, disabled, $62.1 million reduction to CalWORKs related employment services, including job training medically uninsured, abused and childcare. CalWORKs eligibility requirements would also be tightened by reducing or neglected, frail or the amount of earnings families may exclude from their income in determining eligibility vulnerable, or in need of for CalWORKs cash assistance. Currently, families are allowed to deduct $225 plus 50% of their remaining earned income. The governor's proposal would reduce these levels to We Value . . . $200 and 40%. This would mean that a family of three would become ineligible for CalWORKs cash assistance if the family's income exceeds $1310 per month. Compassion We are motivated by the CalWORKs Child Care The budget proposal also seeks to change how eligibility for recognition that each subsidized child care is determined. Currently, families are eligible if their incomes are at person we assist is an or below 75% of the state median income. Under current rules, a family of three with an individual with worth and income of $35,100 would be eligible. The proposed changes could reduce the number of families eligible for the state's subsidized child care programs over the long term. The budget would also reduce the amount of time families can receive child care services. Partnership In-Home Supportive Services The Administration proposes a number of changes to We join with public and the IHSS program to reduce spending including eliminating the state's participation in private partners to provide IHSS wages above the state's minimum wage of $6.75/hour. Currently, the state pays a leadership for and support to share of cost for IHSS provider wages up to $10.10/hour. In Santa Cruz County, IHSS the wider human services provider wages are $9.50/hour, plus $.60/hour for health benefits. The proposed budget movement, and facilitate would result in reduced wages for providers or require the county to greatly increased its workforce preparation and contribution to maintain existing wage levels. economic vitality. These program reforms and budget reductions would have a significant impact on people most in need in Santa Cruz County. The reduction in IHSS wages would impact 1400 Excellence IHSS providers serving 1600 frail elderly and disabled individuals of all ages. CalWORKs We value quality service, program reforms would affect up to 2000 families struggling to survive at far below the professionalism, integrity federal poverty level in our county. These reforms would take away supportive services and mutual respect. and resources that help families move off aid and into the local workforce. While these We are committed to proposals may help balance the budget in the short term, they are not without long term continuous learning, and consequences. They would cut deeper into programs that serve our County's most promote teamwork and creativity. vulnerable citizens—the frail elderly, the disabled, and the poor—further eroding the safety net for those most in need, and promoting the cycle of poverty in our community. With the release of the Governor's FY 2005/06 spending plan in January, we are facing the fourth consecutive year of significant budget reductions to health and human service programs. As you know from previous years, the Governor's budget proposal is a starting point for negotiations which will continue over the next several months. Between now and when a final budget is passed, many things can change. While I hope the Governor and legislature will do the right thing and restore funding to the social service programs targeted for budget reductions, it appears that we will face yet another year of challenges with less funding to support HRA programs and services. Despite difficult times, HRA will continue to be proactive and will look for creative strategies to maintain services and provide support for our consumers, and we will work with our community partners to preserve the safety net for those most in need. With budget cuts eroding safety net services, now more than ever it is important that we look for ways to join forces with our community partners to ensure that the needs of our county's most vulnerable and at-risk individuals are met. No single agency can solve the many complex problems faced by individuals and Cecilia Espinola, Director Human Resources Agency families burdened by poverty. By partnering with other agencies we can maximize our resources, better serve our clients, and respond more effectively to local community needs. This issue of the H Files highlights some of HRA's partnerships with the community. You will read how we are working with community partners to reduce hunger, improve outcomes for children, and create better paying job opportunities. You will also read how our community partners help us respond to the needs of our consumers in times of crisis and when new needs emerge. But even as we partner with other agencies, it is important to remember that services are delivered by people. Effective community partnerships are built upon the dedicated efforts of committed individuals who are passionate about the work they do. Every day, in every division of our agency, staff continue to build on relationships with our community partners by working collaboratively to protect, support and serve our county's most vulnerable citizens. I want you all to know that, just as I value our partners in the community, I value your individual efforts to meet the needs of our consumers. As we continue to weather these tough fiscal times, we are fortunate to have partners in the community who share our commitment and support our agency's efforts to preserve the safety net for children, the elderly and disabled, and individuals and families living in poverty.

Outreach Project According to the CAP, nearly one in five individuals surveyed reported going Community Partners without basic necessities—a 92% increase since 1999, and 46% of people lacking basic needs said they went without food. The CAP also reported that Second Harvest Latinos were more than twice as likely as Caucasians to say they had to do Food Bank without basic needs, including food. In an effort to respond to the problem of hunger in our county, several community agencies joined forces to collaborate on the USDA Food Stamp Outreach Grant Project. The project's goal was to reduce hunger by increasing food stamp participation for all eligible low-income families, with strategic outreach efforts targeting Latino and immigrant families. Community partners developed strategies to address identified barriers to food stamp participation Familia Center which included a lack of knowledge among Latinos about the application process and immigrant families' fears that participation would affect their immigration status. Project activities included direct outreach to potential food stamp recipients, eligibility screening using software developed by Los Angeles Regional Food Salud Para La Gente Bank, food stamp application assistance, and public education. Second Harvest Food Bank spearheaded the project providing key staff, including the Project Manager and Lead Outreach Worker. HRA was involved in the project planning stages and provided outreach worker training, food stamp application tracking, project coordination and outcome data. La Manzana Community Resources, Salud Para La Gente and Familia Center each dedicated a staff member to work half-time as an outreach worker and to provide case Community Bridges management services for applicants they assisted. Applied Survey Research La Manzana helped with data analysis, preparation of reports and project evaluation. Community Resources The greatest success of the project was in educating the legal immigrant population about food stamps and increasing food stamp participation among the Latino population. Fifty-six percent of the project's applications were for Latino applicants and 72% were from clients whose primary language was Spanish. The most effective outreach strategy was the direct contact made by outreach workers with potential food stamp recipients, totalling 31,663 during Applied Survey the two-year duration of the project! Research A Public Service Announcement (PSA) produced by the project was successful in promoting food stamp awareness amongst the project's target population. Food Stamp Hotline calls increased from a monthly average of 140 calls to 235 calls during TV PSA runs. The California Nutrition Network plans to distribute the PSA to agencies throughout California to promote food stamp utilization HRA Receives state-wide. A short video answering commonly asked questions about Food Hunger Heroes Award Stamps, narrated by Assemblyman Simon Salinas, was also produced and will Nomination soon be available for nationwide distribution. for a long standing commitment to The Food Stamp Outreach Project's final report concluded that the partnership increase food stamp program of agencies working together to solve a community problem greatly contributed participation for eligible individuals to the project's success. The greatest success, however, is measured by the fact that 457 individuals and families whose lives were touched by the project The Hunger Heroes Award is a national award of the USDA, are no longer burdened by hunger and going without food! Food and Nutrition Services. 3 T h e H Fi le —W in t er 20 05 , Vo lu m e 4 , Is s u e 3, On li ne Edi t io n Administration The Human Services Commission: HRA's Citizen Advisory Partner The Human Services Commission is a citizen advisory committee established by the Board of Supervisors in 1991, to help "ensure the highest quality and maximum effectiveness of human services provided for the benefit of the citizens of Santa Cruz County." The Commission's role is to provide advice and counsel to HRA on best practices in the operation of the agency's services. There are currently nine members on the ten-seat commission, two appointed by each County Supervisor. We are very fortunate to have dedicated and talented Commissioners who represent the diversity of our community. The following is a list of these committed volunteers with a brief summary of their community experience: ♦ Phyllis Wasserstrom is a retired social worker, and a 2003 United Way Community Hero for her extensive volunteer work. Phyllis has served as Chair of the Commission for a number of years. ♦ Marilyn Moore is a founding member of the Commission and Director for Community Bridges' three pre-school centers. Marilyn currently serves as Commission Chair. ♦ Laura Grossman manages a dental practice and volunteers for numerous community services. ♦ Maria Stolz is a 34-year resident and artist, and also serves on the Area Agency on Aging for San Benito and Santa Cruz Human Services Commissioners Counties. Left to right: Joe Griffin, Marilyn Moore, Maria ♦ Mary Carlon has been involved in the South County Stolz, Nancy Pringle, Laura Grossman, Mary Carlon and Stephanie Camacho. Not pictured: community for many years, addressing youth, education, Phyllis Wasserstrom and Judi Sherman. disabled, senior, housing, and numerous women's issues, and ensuring access to resources and services. ♦ Judi Sherman is a former Associate Director of the Mountain Community Resources and currently works with a statewide agency that builds capacity in family resource centers and family support agencies. Judi also serves as Vice Chair of the Commission. ♦ Joe Griffin recently retired from a career with the California Conservation Corps and serves on the Board of Directors of Mountain Community Resources. ♦ Nancy Pringle is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked with children and youth through probation and child welfare services. ♦ Stephanie Camacho grew up in Santa Cruz County and serves as an aid to Supervisor Ellen Pirie. Clearly this group of volunteer citizens has the experience and skills to be an effective partner in helping HRA guide long range human service planning. Their collective experience is a great asset given the wide range of issues the Commissioners address in their six meetings a year. The group regularly reviews legislation that may impact local human services, receives reports on Community Programs, and comments on new initiatives and programs under Development by HRA Divisions, such as CalWIN and the Child Welfare Services Self-Assessment. The Commission is currently in the process of reviewing funding priorities for the Child Care Developer Fee Loan Program to determine if new priorities should be established to meet the needs of our community. HRA is indeed fortunate to be able to partner with the dedicated volunteers on the Human Services Commission to plan for better ways to serve and respond to emerging needs for low income individuals and families, disabled, seniors, and children in our the community! 4 T h e H F i l e — Wi n t e r 2 0 0 5 , V o l u m e 4 , I s s ue 3 , O n l i n e E di t i o n CareerWorks Partnering Allied Health X-Ray Technician Training Project With The Workforce Investment Board (WIB) was recently awarded $270,000 by the Community Bay Area Workforce Funding Collaborative to create a program to train and Agencies place incumbent Medical Assistants in X-Ray Technician positions. The Bay Area Workforce Funding Collaborative is a groundbreaking funding partnership that Workforce includes the State of California Employment Development Department and the Investment Board philanthropic community led by the San Francisco Foundation.

The project will increase the skills and wages of 22 incumbent Community Needs low-income Medical Assistants and advance them to the level of X-Ray Technician. Family & Children's Services FCS Receives $100,000 Grant For Dependency Drug Court Working Together The Family & Children's Services (FCS) Division, in conjunction with Health Services Agency's Alcohol & Drug Treatment Services, applied for grant funds to develop a Improving Outcomes Dependency Drug Court to provide intensive services to parents of children ages 0-3 For Children in out of home placement. Since substance abuse is involved in almost 80% of FCS cases, having a drug court provides an effective strategy to help these families. The State recently notified our county that we will receive a grant for 2005 for over $99,000 to develop a Dependency Drug Court. The plan is to provide services to at least 30 parents with a goal of either expediting reunification or termination of parental rights so that a permanent plan can occur for a child. Key Partners The Dependency Drug Court will use an "integrated" model, with a single judge hearing dependency issues and monitoring treatment progress. This process is similar to the ∗ Juvenile Court Judge Adult Drug Court already in place. Besides FCS and Alcohol & Drug's participation, other ∗ County Counsel key partners include the Juvenile Court Judge, County Counsel, and attorneys for minor and parents. Additionally, close collaboration will occur with various other programs like ∗ Attorneys (for child & parent) CalWORKS, Homeless Persons Health Project, Mental Health, and Probation.

Having only one designated position, and related funding restrictions, has Collaborative Partners limited our ability to help these families (even with Briana's dedicated services!). With ∗ CalWORKs this model we are expecting improvements in key areas, such as reduced length of stay ∗ Homeless Persons in foster care and compliance to stay alcohol / drug free over designated periods of time.

One-quarter of the residents of the burned out building were recipients of Adult Services programs. Forced to Lee Yamada, Red Cross (left) & Nancy vacate under emergency conditions, many left the building wearing nightclothes Ramirez, HRA (right) visit former hotel and leaving all personal belongings behind. residents at National 9 Motel. Adult Services social workers were quick to respond. Candace Leverenz, South County IHSS Supervisor, made the initial contacts with the Red Cross and quickly identified all of the IHSS clients who were residents at the Wall Street Inn. Leticia Garcia, Nancy Ramirez and Monica Gomez (IHSS) made sure that displaced clients' needs were met and that they all found new housing. Ophelia Alba helped coordinate information for IHSS providers. Cindy James helped find new housing for the displaced clients making many trips to Watsonville to help clients with forms and applications, transport them to new quarters and help them obtain basic necessities. Gail Alderman (MSSP) assisted with client relocation and organized community members to donate clothes and bedding to replace belongings lost in the fire. Joan Grewohl and Nancy Dybdahl, PHNs, responded immediately to the medical needs of the displaced clients. They worked with the Red Cross RN to make sure all medications and medical supplies that were lost in the fire were replaced as soon as possible. They also helped clients with visits to their physicians. Marta Hirsch and Linda Howe, Adult Protective Services (APS) social workers, gave emotional support to displaced clients, including two developmentally challenged young men with no family to turn to and a mentally impaired woman who they were able to place temporarily in a nursing home. Francie Newfield was in daily contact with all emergency response agencies and organizations. Her persistence and support was a key factor in maintaining needed temporary shelter until the clients were able to find more permanent housing. Adding to the challenge of responding to the needs of displaced clients, Adult Services staff housed at 12 West Beach Street were forced to vacate their offices and relocate to 1400 Emeline - so displaced clients were being served by displaced social workers! Despite difficult circumstances, Adult Services staff went above and beyond the call of duty during this crisis to ensure that the needs of their clients left homeless by the fire were met.

Melva Simmons graduated from San Diego State with a degree in Social Work in 1968, an event which marked the beginning of a 36-year career in social services! She worked in Child Welfare Services for Kern County for 25 years and then moved to Adult Services where she served as Public Guardian and supervisor for the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. She also taught foster parent education classes at Bakersfield College and independent living skills to teens in foster care. Later she moved to Monterey where she worked for the county's Mobile Outreach Services Team providing services to the homeless. In 1997, she joined HRA's Adult Services staff as a supervisor for IHSS and in 2002 she promoted to Public Guardian and Adult Protective Services Manager. In her Melva & HRA Friends retirement, Melva looks forward to spending time with her daughters and 6 grandchildren. Gail Goudreau, Melva, Left to right: She also plans to pursue her musical interests again including playing piano and taking Lannis Bright & Francie Newfield. guitar classes. Melva will be missed by her coworkers, but we wish her well in her retirement. Jeanne Colbus retired from the county in December after more than 15 years of service. Jeanne was hired as a Typist Clerk I and was later promoted to Typist Clerk II. Through the years Jeanne worked on many data entry projects. One of the things she liked most about her job was being able to be creative and "fix" database problems. One of her biggest challenges was CMIPS, the IHSS database and reporting system. In her retirement, Jeanne will leave databases behind to spend time gardening, quilting, and maybe doing some painting. In the early 1990's Jeanne dabbled in art. Working from photographs she took, Jeanne did watercolors which were shown at a Carmel art gallery. She loved to photograph airplanes and never missed a Watsonville Air Show! With no HRA databases to 'fix", she just might pick up her paint brushes again! Jeanne Colbus Linda Aron's last day of work with HRA was December 31st. Hired in 1987, Linda worked for HRA for more than 18 years, serving in many capacities and working in a variety of programs. She was a Sr. Case Data Clerk for QA, spent time in AFDC as a Typist Clerk II and later moved to CPS to serve for 3 years in Emergency Response. As a Licensing Clerk for Day Care and Foster Care, Linda was among the first employees to move into the 1400 building. She left HRA to work in the Elections Department for four years as a Clerk III Voter Outreach Coordinator and in May 2001 she returned to HRA Fiscal to serve as a Sr. Account Clerk, the position she held until her retirement. Linda is looking forward to spending time with her children and four grandchildren. She also plans to do Linda Aron some traveling, including a trip to London with her husband in January to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Dora Jean Bemis retired from HRA in December after more than 13 years of service. Her last position was in HRA Fiscal working as a Sr. Account Clerk processing child care claims and filing child care program reports. Before coming to HRA, Jean worked as an Accounting Clerk for County Mental Health from 1988 to 1991 and as part-time staff for the Elections Department from 1985 to 1988. One of her biggest challenges was when Stage One child care came along bringing a huge influx of new people. But Jean said she loved her job because she loved accounting and working with numbers. She paid attention to details always checking for mid-month rate changes or other changes in cases to make sure claims were accurate when submitted for payment. When she retires Jean is looking forward to having more time to spend with her children and grandchildren. Dora Jean Bemis Eugenie Luna retired from HRA in October 2004, after 30 years of service to the agency. When she started working for HRA she was a Typist Clerk in the south county Eligibility Unit. During her years with HRA, she worked for Adult Services in the In-Home Support Services Program and for Family & Children's Services Licensing and Foster Care. In September 2001 she accepted a position working in the fiscal department processing IHSS claims. Although she enjoyed working for the agency, in her re- tirement she is looking forward to having more time to spend with her granddaughter. Rumor has it, Eugenie has also been quite busy spending time with friends, going shopping and out to the movies. Eugenie Luna She may miss her coworkers at HRA, but Eugenie has had no difficulty adjusting to retirement living! 8 T h e H F i le —W in t er 2 0 05 , Vo lu m e 4 , Is s u e 3 , On li n e Ed i t io n In The Spirit of Giving…… Christmas Angel Project Second Harvest Food Drive In December, HRA employees HRA Top County Department Contributor! opened their hearts and their pocketbooks to bring joy to HRA employees donated 1,356 pounds of children and families living in food and $2,223 in cash to the 2004 Second local migrant labor camps.

Seven new scholarships will be awarded to Dalton State students at this year's Scholarship Day program scheduled for Friday, April 19. Last spring, the Dalton State Foundation awarded 122 scholarships to 115 students; scholarships recognize academic merit or financial need of students.
"More than that, however, they are reminders of the invaluable role private philanthropy plays at a public institution like Dalton State," said David Elrod, Director of Institutional Advancement for the College.
"We are proud of each of our scholarship donors, past and present, whose generosity has enabled the Foundation's Scholarship Day Program," Elrod said. "It's an occasion for the students who applied for and competed for these awards, and it's a time for celebration as we publicly acknowledge the many gifts for student scholarships that have been entrusted to us through endowment funds or Dalton State Annual Fund gifts from our donors."
The "Bunco for the Cure" Scholarship is given by the Bunco Babes of Dalton in support of Dalton State's Radiologic Technology program. The club advocates for breast cancer screening and has provided this award for a student wishing to work in that field.
The Dalton Parks & Recreation Scholarship is supported by the Softball Players Association for students majoring in a service-related program of study.
The David E. Pennington III '74 Scholarship is endowed by the friends and family of Dalton mayor and Dalton State alumnus David Pennington on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
The Ken Cyree '88 Scholarship in Business is sustained by an annual gift from Dalton State alumnus Ken Cyree. Dr. Cyree is Dean of the School of Business Administration at the University of Mississippi, where he is also the Frank R. Day/Mississippi Bankers Association Chair of Banking and Professor of Finance.
The Kevin R. Doheny Memorial Scholarship in Mathematics and Science was endowed by friends and family of the late Kevin Doheny, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Dalton State.
The Micah Dembele Scholarship in Nursing is supported by an annual gift from Dr. Cordia Starling, former Dean of the School of Health Professions at Dalton State, in honor of her granddaughter.
The Price-Werling Scholarship in Education is provided by Professor of Psychology Dr. Christy Price from a portion of the prize money from her U.S. Professor of the Year Award by the Carnegie Foundation and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

I've played quite a bit of the latest entry in Croteam's twitchtastic first-person shooter series, but I never encountered the super-speedy giant unkillable pink spider creature in the first level. Know why? Because my copy isn't pirated.
In order to curb rampant pc game piracy, developer Croteam purposefully included a bug (hee) in Serious Sam 3: BFE that trips when the game has been cracked. The bug (I said it again!) spawn a pleasantly-pink, positively unkillable scorpion creature that will hound the player until he or she is dead, dead, dead. To give the pirate a fighting chance, the spawn point is right next to the game's first projectile weapon. It won't have any effect, of course, but you'll briefly feel better.
While not a particularly effective means of combating piracy, the giant immortal pink scorpion is a fun way to catch those masquerading as legitimate customers in places like GameFaqs.
Thanks for the entertainment, Croteam!
Serious Sam 3 BFE - Immortal Fast Scorpion [YouTube via RPS]
And you thought there weren't any more games coming out before Christmas. Croteam has unleashed Serious Sam 3: BFE upon the somewhat suspicious PC gaming masses, flipping the bird at today's more technical shooters in favor of old school shooting shit all to hell.
It's okay. I forgot it was coming out too. Hell, I didn't even connect BFE with Before First Encounter until five minutes ago. Croteam's big prequel is available right now on Steam for shooter fans tired of taking cover, shooting for five minutes, and then running to the next bit of cover. It's a game where movement and shooting large holes in strange creatures go hand-in-hand, skipping merrily down the block before exploding.
Always with the exploding.

Food trucks' health getting letter grades
- Andrew Robinson
- Reporter- Business First
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Beginning today, food trucks that operate in Louisville will be included in the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness' ABC Food Placard Program.
Each food truck operating in Jefferson County will be required to display a placard showing the results of the food truck's last health department inspection.
Click here to see a database of local restaurant scores.
The public should expect to see placards with letter grades of A, B or C appearing on food trucks over the next several months, as food inspectors make their rounds, according to a news release.
Previously, food trucks were considered statewide food establishment by the state's standards and could operate in each of the state's 120 counties. All health data was coordinated through Frankfort, and Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government didn't have ready access to that data, according to Matt Rhodes, deputy director of Department of Public Health and Wellness.
Inspections of trucks operating in Louisville now are conducted by the Louisville health department.
The decision to post the A, B, C grades was prompted by the food truck owners, Rhodes said.
"We just feel like food trucks are likely a growing phenomenon," Rhodes said. "We think they're here to stay."
For more information on how food scores are calculated, click here.
Andrew Robinson covers these beats: Restaurants, retail, government, human resources, technology, automotive (dealers, services), media/marketing/printing, young professionals, West End, East End and Oldham County.

Plus, a look at the positive effect that Washington has had on the banks.
The global economy and global markets are on a volatile journey to a "new normal," according to Mohamed El-Erian, CEO and co-CIO at Pimco.
The initial scare has gone from the market and it looks like the economy is showing signs of bottoming out, but it is difficult to predict where things will go from here, Jack Welch, the former CEO of CNBC parent General Electric, said Thursday.
The Dow advanced Wednesday, boosted by an encouraging "beige-book" report from the Federal Reserve, a better-than-expected manufacturing report from the New York Fed and as Procter & Gamble raised its dividend. Techs remained underwater as Intel's lack of guidance rattled the sector.
Despite signs that the recession is easing, the economy still has a long way to go before it recovers, well-known economist Martin Feldstein told CNBC in a live interview.
Stocks opened lower Wednesday as Intel's after-hours earnings report the day before dragged down tech stocks and a warning from Wal-Mart hit the broader indexes.
Stock futures indicated a mixed open Wednesday as Intel's after-hours earnings report the day before dragged down tech stocks.

The Stock Market is up over 23% in 35 days. If someone had told you on March 9th as the Dow was trading at 6,547 that 'you should put your money in the market right now if you want to make 23%,' what would you have done?

A chilling lesson from the past
By Maz888 from Dorset , 07 Jul 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
We had visited Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam recently and were very moved by the experience, so decided to watch this classic film.
The first half was very good as it depicted life, honestly, in the cramped quarters, with 8 people all vying for space, sanity and survival. It was particularly poignant that Anne was portrayed without prejudice, showing all her pre-pubescent warts-and-all behaviours. My only niggle here is that the other prominent character appeared to be Mr Frank, who was a shining example of a patient, understanding, saintly father figure, acting for everyone's good in such a difficult circumstance.
However, the second half was just laughable drippy romantic tosh that I understand is not true to the diary. I would recommend you stop watching at this point as it had left a sour taste after what has been an excellent, poignant and moving film on a tragedy that shouldn't have been.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)The Dreary of Anne Frank
By Oldbloke (348 reviews) from Sidmouth , 27 Nov 2010An important prestige picture in it's day, this version of the Frank story has aged very badly. It's beautifully shot, has some excellent performances and does manage to recreate some of the boredom and terror of those two years spent in hiding. Unfortunately, Director George Stevens chose to flesh out the film with some long tedious romantic interludes and in the lead, whiny voiced Millie Perkins completely fails to capture any of the spirit, intelligence and humanity that Anne Frank put down on paper. For once, that Sunday night TV adaptation might well be the better option.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not a real depiction
By a customer from UK , 23 Apr 2009This film made in 1959 does not follow the diary of Anne Frank and I was disappointed with the 50s glamour style of the film, and American accents for the families in hiding, made it so unrealistic.
A lot of the story was made up, the burglar did not approach the SS officers, and they did not investigate within the house. A few bits rang true to the diary, but why make a film about this subject appear glamourous. Anne was portrayed as a hollywood icon, ok so films in the 1950s were made this way, but this film is about two Jewish families living in hiding in German occupied Amsterdam during 1942-44.
It ruined the film, that I had to turn off less than half way through. I have seen better made films in recent years telling the story of Anne Frank and I would recommend watching those, but do not bother to watch this one unless you are a fan of film making during the 1950s, it does not do what it says on the tin.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dear diary, far too long
By RJNeb2 (1012 reviews) from London , 21 Jun 2008Rather ill-advisedly, George Stevens films this intimate little story about the Frank family hiding from the Nazis for 2 years in a garrett in Amsterdam in full widescreen glory and at a highly protracted nearly 3 hour length. Millie Perkins is overly saintly and a little annoying as Anne, and her romance at the end of the film really bogs it down. But there are some compensations. William Mellor's photography is exemplary, Stevens springs a couple of very tense setpieces on us and there are some sturdy supporting performances, from the fussy Ed Wynn to the steady moral centre of Joseph Schildkraut.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer from Anstey Leicester England , 23 Oct 2005This now well known account of the diary recording the dreadful treatment meted out to Jewish individuals and families during WW11 is deserving of a better interpretation than this dated and unforgiving portrait.- Was this review helpful to you?

Romney's immigration stance will hurt him
Jan 9, 2012 | Posted by: roboblogger | Full story: La Bloga
Guest essay by Alvaro Huerta Mitt Romney may well be on his way to the Republican nomination, but he'll have a hard time getting further than that because of his position on immigration.
Comments (Page 3)
If Romney changes his hard stance against ullegal immigration before election day, he will lose alot of middle class American votes. I'm one of them. I'm tired of the Republican party nominating illegal alien panderers like the Bushes and McCain. So if Romney thinks he has a better chance turning into a hard core neocon, he better think again. People are already getting tired of Boehner's refusal to deal with illegal immigration and spending. The Republicans will wear out their welcome real fast if they stay on their current path. The best thing about the Republican party these days is the utter failure of the Democratic party. The American people are tired of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Judged: 1 1 1 Nothing wrong with being successful or born with a silver spoon rammed in your mouth but this guy Romney is completely out of touch with 99% of the USA. If anyone wants to know how to screw up a campaign for President... look no further than Romney. |
