The doctrine of "fair use" is an increasingly important concept for scholars, libraries, and universities as digital technologies continue to change the ways that we research, publish, and teach in higher education. The United States Copyright Office outlines its "fair use" policy in Section 107 of Title 17 of the United States Code, enumerating "various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research." The limits of fair use doctrine continue to spark controversy as academic publishers, university libraries, and scholars debate the issue in federal court.
While Southern Spaces does not have a specific "fair use" policy, we sometimes make fair use claims when justifying our occasional use of copyrighted material. As Sarah Melton discussed in a May 2012 blog post, we often wrestle with questions of fair use when finding media for our blog, our featured images posts, and the works of our authors. In March, we published a talk by Erich Nunn entitled "Hillbilly Records, Zulu Yodels, and the Sounds of a Global South" which uses the copyrighted work of Jimmie Rodgers, Hugh Tracey, and the Columbia Pictures Corporation. When we feel it is necessary to justify our fair use of such material, we record our "fair use" justifications and permissions information in the template associated with the piece.
|Screenshot of Southern Spaces "Edit" page showing the "Permissions and fair use" field.
These justifications vary with each piece and are not public information. Rather, we include this step in our publication process to be sure that we pay special attention to issues of fair use and have an archive to turn to if copyright holders decide to challenge our use of their work. How do other online scholarly publications justify fair use of copyrighted materials?
Just for fun, I strongly recommend viewing A Fair(y) Use Tale, a brief video essay on fair use by Eric Faden, an Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at Bucknell University.

- Brood II, a billions-strong legion of cicadas, is expected to emerge later this summer and overrun the East Coast from North Carolina to Connecticut. Despite the scary name, this bug muster is no cause for alarm as magicicadas, the particular type of cyclical cicadas Brood II belongs to, have no mechanism for chewing (meaning they cannot bite you), instead sucking nutrients from plant sap. To attract female cicadas, the males of the species congregate in trees to form a deafening chorus that can reach up to 100 decibels—roughly as loud as a Ducati Monster 796. After a two-week shore leave in cities such as Washington, DC and New York City, the brood spawned by Brood II will tunnel underground and remain there for the next seventeen years. Then, Brood II will rise again.
- Last year, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal and the Louisiana State Legislature instituted a voucher system that would give parents the choice to use money the state had allocated to pay for their child's public education to pay private school tuition. Tuesday, May 7, 2013, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that using this money outside the public school system is unconstitutional. Louisiana Justices also noted that the funding mechanism for the voucher system was not really valid anyway, since it only received fifty-one rather than the required fifty-three votes in the House and was filed late. It is unclear now where the money for the vouchers will come from, though the state committed to funding the private education of almost 8000 students through the voucher program just last week.
- Also on Tuesday, South Carolina's first congressional district voted to elect former Governor Mark Sanford to fill Congressman Tim Scott's seat in the House of Representatives. Last December, Governor Nikki Haley appointed Congressman Scott to replace Senator Jim DeMint's seat in the Senate after the former senator stepped down to serve as president of The Heritage Foundation. This left a vacant seat in the House. Former Congressman Sanford, despite causing a great scandal in 2009 by covering up a romantic affair in Argentina with a story about hiking the Appalachian Trail, ran against Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the Director of Business Development at Clemson University and, incidentally, sister of faux-Republican comedian Stephen Colbert. Although this district has not elected a Democrat to Congress since conservative Democrat Mendel Jackson Davis retired from office in 1981, the race was too close to call coming into election day. Congressman Sanford will be up for reelection in 2014.

Today Southern Spaces published Edward A. Hatfield's essay "A Well-Tied Knot: Atlanta's Mobility Crisis and the 2012 T-SPLOST Debate," which surveys the challenges of transportation planning in the Atlanta metro region by unraveling the complex history of the contentious T-SPLOST (Transportation Special-Purpose Local-Option Sales Tax) initiative that was defeated in a 2012 referendum.
"A Well-Tied Knot" joins Southern Spaces' growing collection of interdisciplinary, multimedia scholarship on the Atlanta metro region—a collection we have titled "Changing Atlanta." Readers interested in such work might also be interested in the new Atlanta Studies Network, which "connects scholars, activists and residents with one another around a shared interest in Atlanta."

- In Atlanta, two historic African American churches potentially stand in the way of plans to build a new, billion-dollar football stadium for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. The first, Friendship Baptist Church, was founded before the end of the Civil War and has stood at its current location since 1880. Spelman and Morehouse Colleges were founded in First Baptist. Also, Maynard H. Jackson, Sr., the father of Atlanta's first black mayor Maynard H. Jackson, Jr., was the church's head pastor until his death in 1953. The other church, Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, has occupied its current space since 1955, having already moved several times due to development in the area. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Falcons owner Arthur Blank, and other local business leaders are in negotiations with the churches over their properties and promise significant investments in the neighborhood in which the churches are located if they agree to relocation.
- On March 29, Exxon-Mobil's sixty-five-year-old Pegasus pipeline burst in Mayflower, Arkansas. The town, which lies twenty-five miles northwest of Little Rock, was inundated with an estimated 210,000 gallons of heavy crude oil from Canadian tar sands as a result of the spill. The aging pipeline runs from Illinois to Texas and its rupture forced the evacuation of twenty-two homes in Mayflower. Area residents and environmentalists are concerned that neither Exxon-Mobil nor the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (the government entity overseeing the cleanup) are prepared to deal with a spill of this type of oil of this magnitude. Compared with those associated with ordinary oil drilling, the processes required to extract, process, refine, and clean up tar sands oil are "complex, energy-intensive, and expensive." While this spill is unusually large and has received significant media attention, it is but one of the hundreds of "significant incidents" involving oil pipeline spills reported to the US Department of Transportation each year.
- On April 17, a fertilizer plant in West, Texas exploded killing 14 people, injuring hundreds more, and damaging or destroying buildings within a half-mile radius of the blast. The cause of the blast is still unknown. The plant, which is owned by Adair Inc.'s West Fertilizer Company, produced anhydrous ammonia (a liquid crop nutrient) and stored upwards of 270 tons of ammonium nitrate, an extremely volitile solid fertilizer which was used in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Despite the presence of these dangerous and explosive chemicals, the plant has not been inspected by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) since 1985, and the company filed a 2011 report with the Environmental Protection Agency stating that there was "no" risk of fire or explosion at the plant. While Texas lawmakers suggest that increased regulation would not have prevented the blast, many labor and workplace safety groups are calling for increased regulations and more funding for OSHA enforcement.

Category 3 Gentrification: On New Orleans's Population Trends and the Hostility of Internet Commenters
|The dual attraction of New Orleans. From Katie Gillett, The Post-Grad Hipster's Guide to Inhabitable U.S. Cities, 2011.
Since I left New Orleans for good in 2007, I hear more and more stories of twenty- and thirty-somethings of my demographic—and by my demographic, I mean hipsters with MFAs in creative writing—moving there. Apparently, this is a trend, so says Richard Campanella, a geographer with Tulane's architecture program, in "Gentrification and its Discontents: Notes from New Orleans." In this article, he ties this migration southward to so-called "revitalization" movements that displace generally poor and African American residents. He posits a four-phase cycle, each phase representing a different influx of people into a particular neighborhood, each phase a wave carrying with it progressively more intense collateral gentrification. According to Campanella, this is the process of New Orleans gentrification: first, gutterpunks squat in poor neighborhoods near "historic" or touristy areas; second come hipsters; third, the cultural capital accrued by young artist types attracts bourgeois bohemians; and finally, the rich arrive.
While I find this model to be convincing, it is also reductive. There's a too-neat linearity at play—one that elides both institutional forces that lure writers and artisanal bread makers into poor and working-class neighborhoods and other neighborhood life-cycles that somehow remain in a not-quite-attractive-enough limbo. For instance, even as Campanella uses the Bywater as an example of NOLA-gentrification par excellence, he ignores the relocation of New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) to a twenty-three million dollar campus in 2000, paid for by the state of Louisiana.1 Nevertheless, the streamlined process Campanella enumerates seems to be a fair representation of NOLA gentrification. It was just before Hurricane Katrina that the neighborhood around NOCCA began to be seen as a hip option—at least in my experience.
Which is to say that Campanella's analysis is compelling to me because I did live in New Orleans, knew the gutterpunks and proto-hipsters who dropped out of Tulane's English program to colonize blighted houses in the Bywater, washed dishes in their bathtub, never showering, barely wearing shoes. I still have strong familial ties to greater NOLA thanks to my wife, whose family is scattered throughout the city and its suburbs. Professor Campanella uses fleeting biographical details in his essay, adding to his geographical, statistical, and historical evidence the heavy authority of being an "insider." My question here is what role experiential knowledge has in making arguments about a space, whether we take for granted that extensive time living and working and loving and playing in a place gives us a special sort of access to some "truth," whether we can (or should) escape our emotional attachments to (or severed from) a place.
Take the comments on Campanella's essay. The earliest, posted by local writer Mark Folse, links to a blog post he wrote in 2005 prophesying the coming of a sterile, museum culture post-Katrina. Another comment, whose author notes he moved from Brooklyn to live in the Bywater after Katrina—more or less proving Campanella's schema—claims that "Bywater is more like Fort Greene and NOTHING like Williamsburg,"2 referring to Campanella's glib reference to people apparently comparing Bywater to the Brooklyn neighborhood. This commenter criticizes Campanella's characterization (using statistics) of the Bywater as taking a turn toward a white majority, using this bit of evidence: "I see whites, blacks, Vietnamese, Hispanics, and every other color on my street every day. We live in a community of many cultures, not a white gated one."
|Richard Campanella, Post-Katrina gentrification hot spots, New Orleans, 2012. From Campanella's Bienville's Dilemma: A Historical Geography of New Orleans, 2008.
The most interesting comment is by a person named 12ward, who levies against Campanella charges of outsidership, ignorance of the local, poor research skills, and lack of comparative perspective. One way to say this is that Campanella's account doesn't match 12ward's own experience of New Orleans. 12ward says, "This sounds like a guy who got here yesterday and lacks even the most basic 2005–2008 city infrastructure/operation knowledge." 12ward asks, "I know you claim to live here . . . but have you actually talked to ANYONE here?" The rest of his 1,584 word comment/counter-essay contains lists of dates, events, and brief personal and speculative narratives that attempt to amass a wealth of local (and professional?) credibility with which 12ward might be able to challenge Campanella's political position and analysis of population trends. In the course of this jeremiad, we learn that 12ward has worked as a public school teacher, has been homeless, moved to New Orleans for his vegetarian wife (who loves it there!), housed FEMA workers for free in October 2005, lives Uptown, and considers himself well versed in history.
12ward's hostility3 seems to stem from two places: 1) a misreading of Campanella's "white teapot" map (a map Campanella made to illustrate the racial distribution of New Orleans and where gentrification is currently underway), and 2) a disagreement with the political dimensions of Campanella's argument. 12ward conflates the plotting of white people with the plotting of gentrification hotspots; nowhere does Campanella argue that all white New Orleans neighborhoods are gentrified, only that gentrification tends to occur near areas that are considered "historic" and are near well-to-do-neighborhoods (which are generally white in NOLA). The second root of 12ward's problem, the political implication of Campanella's reading, is more interesting.
|Infrogmation, Photo of the front steps of a Bywater home, 2008.
Ultimately, 12ward defends the non-native New Orleans creative class, a defense that at once privileges the economic, aesthetic, and cultural tastes of the outsider, the colonizer, the upper class, while also staking a claim—through experience-knowledge and pseudo-scholarly posturing—of ownership of a place. Campanella's argument—that gentrifiers run the risk of both supplanting the working class population and turning the neighborhoods they renovate into sterile neighborhoods-qua-museums—is one that could be extremely insulting if you consider yourself a progressive, civically engaged, culturally aware transplant to NOLA. It undermines the "super native" project of nouveau-New Orleanians. It reminds them that they enjoy living in a place that was once a home of poverty, misery, and rot but is now a well-joindered house full of wifi and Restoration Hardware, that they immerse themselves in a culture and locality they did not grow up in, and that they do these things because they can afford to. On the other hand, Campanella recognizes this even as he appeals to the same logic of biographical locality: after using the birth of his son to illustrate the paucity of babies in New Orleans, he categorizes his family as "category-3 types, I suppose, sans the 'bohemian,'" referring to his four-phase cycle, to himself as a member of the bourgeois-scum class, and echoing the official designation of Hurricane Katrina, a category-3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Campanella's article becomes a call for New Orleanians of all sorts to have more children and make the city friendlier to families. On all other issues—the injection of liberal and progressive ideology into a more conservative population, the frenetic cultural adoption and reenactment by newcomers, the emphasis on making every enclave of well-educated, arts-oriented, internet-blogging, artisanal-food-making twenty-somethings more like Williamsburg—Campanella remains equivocal. He seems concerned that where once there was life there will soon be empty space bordered by lovely walls. Although it is hard to tell from 12ward's mean, reactionary, and occasionally absurdist4 diatribe, he shares a concern for wanting to preserve the place he lives in as a place of life, a concern that manifests through the use of experience-knowledge as an authority that trumps all other sources of knowledge. 12ward's comment yearns for the reader to share not just the eyes and politics of the interpreter, but his mythos and autobiography as well. This reliance on the personal experience of the writer, the appeal to insider knowledge, the individual interpretation—however well-meaning and progressive—is yet another gentrifying move, one that is both precious and consumptive, sentimental and displacing.
- 1. This is the number my wife (NOCCA '04) told me when I asked her on Gchat how much the building cost. She calculated this number by remembering how when she would lean on the walls as a student at NOCCA, teachers told her, "Don't lean on the wall: this is a twenty-three million dollar building." I call this method for conducting geographical/infrastructural analysis the "ask a friend" method.
- 2. This is surely the best evidence that Bywater is in fact Williamsburg: there's nothing more "Williamsburg" than claiming that something you do is more like Fort Greene.
- 3. 12ward's language is very hostile, using words like "fuckall," "bullshit," and "abortion." 12ward doesn't like hipsters (as he assumes Campanella's point was to attack hipsters), and claims that it isn't hipsters who move into poor neighborhoods, it's "[g]ay men and women. (by and large gay men)." When attacking Campanella's history, 12ward uses the debate tactic "What about x?"—x being a litany of decontextualized dates or event names or neighborhoods—especially in defending gentrifying neighborhoods as racially diverse or in attacking Campanella's sketch of how gentrification has occurred in the past.
- 4. 12ward muses, "as for the hipsters. do you fear them? This city has the power of temptation in the swamp. It will de-bone and devour a good number of them in so many ways. No matter WHAT you do, and every few years, (think of what I mean) this city will remind you of your safety obsession folly."
|Sarita Alami, THATCamp Feminisms South participants edit wikipedia pages for TooFEW, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, March 15, 2013.
Southern Spaces has had a long and sometimes sordid relationship with Wikipedia.
Southern Spaces uses Wikipedia pages as hyperlinks in our articles. While we favor scholarly open-access materials or well-curated collections of primary documents for our links, we often end up choosing Wikipedia links because of the kind of coverage and access they offer. Wikipedia entries are frequently more complete than individual pages, particularly when it comes to biographies or major historical events. They provide our readers with references to additional resources, allowing them to learn more. An additional advantage is that Wikipedia is not behind a pay-wall. Sadly, many good sources accessible through university libraries are not accessible to readers outside the academy. Finally, Wikipedia links are stable, unlike many links to open-access pages produced by individuals and organizations.
Just as our site often directs readers to Wikipedia pages, thousands of visitors a year come to our site by following links on Wikipedia pages which cite our pieces as sources. Even more significantly, people who come from Wikipedia clock enough time on our site that they seem to be reading—they don't just click-and-leave. I hope this reflects two things: first, that at least a percentage of Wikipedia users attend to references and are invested in the topics they research, and second, that the links from Southern Spaces are helpful and add to the public knowledge base that people access through Wikipedia.
Here, though, has been the rub. We believe that our authors provide information and ideas that build new and significant knowledge, and as an open-access journal, we'd like to share that knowledge with a wide audience. So, for a long time, when we published a piece, we also went onto Wikipedia and updated articles related to the publication. Then we told that we were self-promoting and should stop; also some of our contributions were removed.
As the managing editor at Southern Spaces, I am invested in making our journal better and in promoting open-access knowledge, so I spend time thinking about Wikipedia. On my to-do list for a while has been to rethink our approach to Wikipedia and to train some of our newer editorial associates in best-practices. Then, in the middle of March, I got to be part of a really great wiki-edit-a-thon.
In my other position at Emory, as a fellow in the Digital Scholarship Commons, I worked with Moya Bailey and Sarita Alami to coordinate THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp) Feminisms South. On the first day of our unconference we edited and wrote Wikipedia articles along with others across the United States, particularly at THATCamp Feminisms West at Scripps and THATCamp Feminisms East at Barnard. The initiative, called Feminists Engage Wikipedia (#tooFEW), was planned in order to help flesh out women's representation as subjects and editors on Wikipedia, which is ninety percent male-edited.
To prepare for the wiki-edit-a-thon, we talked with editors, watched a tutorial by Adrianne Wadewitz, and learned about the methods and protocols of Wikipedia editing. We learned about the importance of secondary sources and how Wikipedians interpret ideas like "neutrality." Then we spent four hours together creating and improving articles while trying to uphold the five pillars of Wikipedia. (We also discussed, at length, the ways these pillars, which can seem impartial and good, are interpreted to constrict knowledge production and replicate racist, classist, and sexist hierarchies.)
|Screen capture of Wikipedia's five pillars, April 10, 2013.
The preparation for the event and the four hours of collective editing and discussion helped me better understand Southern Spaces' relationship to Wikipedia and has better equipped us to engage with Wikipedia.
Through Feminists Engage Wikipedia, I learned some of the reasons that Wikipedia pages can seem like good sources to us at Southern Spaces. I knew that we gravitated toward them because of stability, accessibility, and breadth. However, one of the key reasons we use them is also institutionalized in their code of conduct: they require citations. Their references and recommended resources sections aggregate online materials, provding users with a range of further reading. They also seem to be working within scholarly modes of knowledge production. (Of course, the structures of evaluation and review are different at Wikipedia, which is why we evaluate the any Wikipedia page before we link it.)
I also, and perhaps more importantly, realized that a few easy steps may have helped us present ourselves better to the Wikipedia editors as we've worked to add material to this massive, open, online encyclopedia. First, we should have created accounts. While on the one hand, this may have made it more obvious that we were overwhelmingly adding materials from Southern Spaces, it may also be have been a way to present a track record of real engagement, rather than looking like we were self-promoting. (We are pretty selective in the articles to which we contribute.) It also would have provided us a space to present who we are, as people working for a non-profit cultural-sector institution, invested in knowledge production and sharing. Second, we should have made sure to amend articles instead of simply adding to their recommended resources—in part because doing so would be a better investment for readers. Finally, we should have described our edits. All of these practices seem pretty easy. In the next couple of months, we are going to work on improving our Wikipedia contribution practices and also improving Wikipedia.
As we make changes here at the journal, I wanted to encourage our readership to think about contributing to Wikipedia. When you read an essay, engage with a project, or watch a film here or elsewhere in your research, consider adding some of that knowledge to Wikipedia articles, which you can edit anonymously or when signed-in with a user name. If we all took a few scholarly moments to share our knowledge of secondary resources1, more Wikipedia users (read: almost everybody online) will have access to high quality information and ideas. At the same time, it is important to remember and consider the structures and shortfalls of the Wikipedia model.
- 1. No original research, and with that an aversion to primary sources, is a core part of Wikipedia's policy.

- Some important William Faulkner archival material is going up for auction in New York. Considered one of the most significant literary figures in the United States in the twentieth century, much of Faulkner's work centered on the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi. Sotheby's announced on March 28, 2013 that the prolific author's Nobel Prize medal could end up being sold for over two million dollars. Other items to be auctioned include the first draft of Faulkner's Nobel speech, unpublished letters from Faulkner to his wife, Estelle, and an early unpublished story. According to Reuters, some of the items were found on the Faulkner family's Virginia property. According to an article in The New York Times, the Faulkner family hopes that a public institution will end up purchasing the material.
- A recent poll commissioned by Democrats reveals that Atlanta's political landscape is deeply divided. The poll results portray Atlanta as divided into three sections that vote very differently: the South Side, Middle Atlanta, and the North Side. South Side voters tend to be Democrats and members of racial and ethnic minorities; Middle Atlanta is split along ethnic and ideological lines; while North Side voters are more conservative and are generally white. The blog "Blogging While Blue: News & Views from a Few Spirited Georgia Democrats" declared that the poll is important because Atlanta elections are typically decided by Middle Atlanta, with its "multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-ideology, and multi-partisan" makeup. This is because voters on the North and South Sides generally cancel one another out, leaving Middle Atlanta the decider in metropolitan elections.
- On March 27, 2013 Arkansas legislators overrode Democratic Governor Mike Beebe's veto of a law that will require voters to show photo identification at the polls. When the law takes effect on January 1, 2014, Arkansas will join eighteen other states that have introduced similar laws requiring voter identification at the polls this year. According to The Boston Globe, the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas executive director Rick Sklar called the override a "terrible shame," stating that the group is prepared to sue in order to block the enforcement of the new law. African American legislators in Arkansas have compared the new law to the poll taxes used in southern states during the Jim Crow era.

I've got 213 photos ready to be edited with FX Photo Studio!!
62 of my wedding photos
77 family photos
112 misc family & friends events
Currently none since I haven't gotten my iPad yet. Have about six on my iPhone, though.
I have 256 pics on my iPad that need the sunshine of the edition of FX Photo Studio to really shine outside, on the daylight.
I have at least 500 that could use some wicked effects
I'm a photographer and I think it would be fun to do a photoshoot and edit the photos solely on my iPad. Hmm, I think 20-30 photos would be a good start!
This one is a perfect app for every photographer and even for a the people who likes to take photo and add some fabulous effects!
400 photos
193 currently. Great looking app!
After reviewing the potential of FX Photo App, I easily have over 200 photos just on my iPad that would benefit plus many more on a back up drive.

Ralph Werntgen passed away on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, at Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Vermont. Ralph was born on September 23, 1943, in the Bronx. His parents Elsa Kleinheinz and Herman Werntgen were immigrants from Germany. He was the youngest in his family and had an older brother Will and sister Trudy. The family of five lived humbly in a three-room apartment in the Bronx. His was a loving family. They took frequent outings to fish, ice skate and picnic in many of the beautiful city parks. As a young boy, Ralph enjoyed riding his bike through the Bronx Botanical Gardens, (which was against the law) and outracing the park police.
His mother insisted he get swimming lessons and he excelled, earning many awards in high school and setting records as an All American Swimmer. He graduated from Evander Childs High School. Ralph was awarded a full athletic scholarship to Long Island University. He later earned a master's degree from New York University. He was an ocean lifeguard on Rockaway Beach in New York City during his college years.
After graduation, Ralph taught physical education at Samuel Gompers High School, an all-boys vocational high school in the South Bronx. The years spent at this challenging school offered an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many young men. He loved coaching them in a variety of sports which gave him the opportunity to form relationships and instill values.
Later Ralph taught health and physical education at Queens College where he coached the swimming team. He enjoyed teaching swimming, sailing and scuba diving and took students on Survivor-like camping and sailing trips to the Virgin Islands and Florida to broaden their skills.
Ralph loved the ocean and the outdoors. He met his wife Susan while surfing at Ponquogue Beach in Hampton Bays. They raised three daughters Melissa, Kari and Allison. The family shared many happy times embracing the beauty of eastern Long Island. Happy days at ocean and bay beaches, fishing and sailing. He loved showing his daughters how to surf the waves even on red flag days (which indicated rough conditions).
Ralph went on to build a successful contracting business which he named after his daughters. He found great satisfaction in building new homes for clients. He was a mentor and friend to many of his subcontractors and he assisted many of them in navigating the path to home ownership for themselves.
Ralph enjoyed skiing with his family at Okemo. Skiing gave him the opportunity to enjoy "family time" and take a break from the demands of running multiple businesses.
Ralph had Parkinson's disease for over 33 years being first diagnosed at age 36. He faced the diagnosis as a challenge but not a hindrance and brought everything he had to living life fully with what would later come to be a debilitating illness.
Ralph brought tremendous enthusiasm to his life. He was a man who focused on the positive, saw the best in those around him and was a lifelong coach and mentor to many. His "can do" outlook was contagious. He achieved much and adjusted to the setbacks life brought him without complaint or bitterness.
As his Parkinson's disease advanced, he relocated to Vermont permanently to enjoy a simpler life in wonderful Moretown.
Ralph was preceded in death by his parents, Elsa and Herman, and his brother Will Werntgen of Glover, Vermont. He is survived by his spouse, Susan, of Moretown; his daughter Melissa Coviello (and her husband Marc) of Waterbury; daughter Kari Cruz (and her husband Baruk) of Atlanta, GA; daughter Allison Werntgen (and her husband Eben Goodman) of Jamaica Plain, MA; his sister Trudy Hahn of Atlanta, GA; sister-in-law Joyce Werntgen and her partner Peg Franzen of Montpelier; sister-in-law Barbara Delzio of Glover; his grandson Miles Coviello of Waterbury and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service to celebrate his life was held at the Moretown Town Hall on Sunday, January 20.
Ralph's family would like to acknowledge and thank service providers from Central Vermont Home Health, Mad River Valley Ambulance first responders, Deanne Farr community support, Barbara DeCarlo senior companion and numerous neighbors and friends whose kindness and generosity helped him to enjoy his life at home.
The family requests memorial donations be made to APDA Vermont Chapter Respite Fund and sent to: APDA Vermont Chapter, 1 South Prospect Street 454AR2, Burlington, VT 05401.

The first time I wore this bracelet it broke. Luckily I noticed it right away and did not lose it. Found the broken link and tried closing it more securely. The second time I wore it the bracelet broke. I haven't worn it since. I was very disappointed as I was excited to finally own a piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry.
Recommend: Yes
I have wanted to own jewelry from Lisa Leonard for years. This past weekend I bought this bracelet and a necklace. I couldn't be happier with my choices.
Both the necklace and this bracelet are perfect for everyday wear!
Thank you, Lisa for creating beautiful pieces of jewelry for all to enjoy!
The minute I saw this bracelet I thought of my daughter:) I was so excited to finally get it but very disappointed because it broke after a couple hrs of her wearing it:( sorry Lisa Leonard but this needs to be a more sturdy product especially if its going to be worn. I was very disappointed. The links come apart. Thankfully she didn't lose it so I am going to take it to a jeweler to fix. He will weld the links together more securely because I really want her to wear it. It's a beautiful reminder to "shine for Jesus" which is something I say to all my babies right before they go off to school. I hope Lisa makes a sturdier version someday so I can buy this again for my other two daughters. Other than that it's very pretty.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by kaitlynk So pleased with this vest... I knew I needed to have this as soon as I saw it on the fp instagram. It's so hard to find a reasonably priced faux fur vest that isn't poor quality. This vest definitely exceeded my expectations. The fur is amazing...very soft and does not look at all synthetic. I found the sizing to be pretty TTS. I always wear a small in coats so I ordered my usual small and I'll definitely be able to wear this over sweaters/jackets/coats. It's not particularly bulky on the fur side, but if you intend to wear it on the reverse side it has a kind of awkward bulky shape to it. I don't really mind because I plan to wear it mostly on fur side, but just wanted to note that was the only notable downside for me. All in all, I highly recommend this vest... it's perfect for fall/winter! 8.14.2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Whynot Wife of The Abominable Snowman Okay. I am 5'2, 110, and the XS makes me look fat from the side, and gargantuan from the back. Surely I'll be chased down by lovesick sasquatch and yeti or the last remaining members of the abominable snowman clan. This is not really for petites but ...  urgg... I just.... can't ......take ... it .... off.  Soooo  cozy and warm. Love the front view and the way the fur is long and layered and shaggy. (The fur doesn't look real IMO, but is pretty just the same.) The colours are flattering on both sides and pretty much as pictured (maybe slightly less grey and more brown on the paisley side).  Love that it's reversible!  It does flare out in front at the bottom due to the pockets, and depending on your figure it may add bulk where you don't want it. This is more noticeable when it's worn fur side in. Personally, I don't mind it, and actually kinda like how it looks (the picture in the September Lookbook depicts this flaring well), but  it may be an issue if you are hourglass or curvy.  Yes, I look like the wife of the abominable snowman,  but I love this and will be keeping it. 11.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by p1gp3n cozy i find my regular size to fit a bit bulky, so i went down a size, which still fits fine and i'm still able to wear it closed if i want. the fur is comfy and doesn't shed. personally i like the fur side and that's why i bought it. i find the fur color to be more unique than other fur vests. 11.8.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SoozTeel I love this vest...but it turned green!?!? I purchased this vest in store, and after 3 minimal wears the left side turned green. The gray tips on the fur turned green so perfectly, it seemed natural. I believe it is a strange defect. I ordered another vest online, and upon taking it out of it's packaging I noticed the same green hue on the back of the vest. I believe that this item could have possible been manufactured for FP again due to it's popularity, and in the re-ship the product is defected with this green hue. Has this happened to anyone? I love the vest and will be ordering another one. Hopefully, 3rd time's a charm! 12.1.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SusieN85 LOVE THIS! I have been looking for a fur vest forever without having to pay the price of upwards to $500! This vest is worth the purchase price.....the fur looks absolutely gorgeous and not cheap at all! It does run a little big so I would suggest a size smaller but overall I cannot wait to show this off! It is exactly what I have been looking for. 11.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NCNat LOVE this I absolutely love this vest. I'm 5'6" and 125 lbs and ordered a small. It fits perfectly. I'm not sure which side I like better because they are both gorgeous. Hopefully the weather cools off a bit, otherwise I'll have to turn my air conditioning on really high and wear it around the house. It looks good with everything! 10.12.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by chordsimple Love it!!! Two vests in one I love this vest! It's beautiful. The best part of it is that both sides are beautiful and different, leaving you with a ton of styling options. I'm 5'9" 125lbs 32B and got a small, and ended up exchanging for an extra small. The small fit but it's already so bulky that being a little loose made it look really big. So I'd recommend sizing down. I intend on wearing it open...I think it looks bulky and weird closed. The fur is a beautiful, unique color and doesn't shed! The paisley is really pretty without being too much. Having pockets on each side is great, and the little crochet detailing on the paisley side is a beautiful detail. It is bulkier wearing it paisley-side out (because of the fur-side pockets), but just in the way that is poofs outwards more, it doesn't make you look bigger. The fur curls over so it peaks out. 10.5.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by alexask Beautiful, Worth It It was my lucky day at one of my local Free People stores - new shipment of this vest. One of the servicewomen let me try the one off her back when I was checking out something else. It was an XS. I'm 5"5, 128 lbs, with a slim upper body except my boobs, and the XS was the one for me. The only problem with this is the flip side (decorated side) is baggier. There is an extra pooch thing going on that makes the vest stick out. This is the -1 star. But I do appreciate a faux fur jacket that has lining other than cheap looking monochrome shiny stuff. I have been waiting for a vest that is beautiful inside and out. To be honest, I don't think the bleach blonde model is doing it justice. It looks over-sized and awkward, in my opinion. The way it looked on me more resembles the look book picture. But if you're going for fitted, it really does...fit! I would order one size down. 9.25.2012

LCA Rescue Team Heads to Hurrican Katrina Zone
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) rescue team, led by LCA president Chris DeRose (who insisted he personally had to do something to help), was among one of the first groups to be admitted into the "war zone" left behind by Hurricane Katrina. LCA's rescue team joined forces with Best Friends Animal Society's triage operation situated at the St. Francis of Assisi animal sanctuary in Tylertown, Mississippi. LCA's rescue team drove two hours back and forth each day to enter St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, one of the areas hardest hit by the hurricane, where approximately 70,000 people and countless animals used to live.
Before entering the hot zone of St. Bernard Parish, LCA's rescue team suited up in protective gear before trudging through the toxic muck and sludge searching for animals left stranded on the streets and trapped in buildings and backyards. LCA's rescue team toiled around the clock, walking and driving tirelessly up and down streets and breaking into houses while calling and whistling out to animals, waiting to hear a bark or any kind of response.
"It is like a war zone down there, with high temperatures and humidity, no water or food and total devastation everywhere," said Chris DeRose. "Hurricane Katrina turned homes upside down and inside out. It is hard to believe the extent of the destruction unless it is witnessed firsthand. The streets and buildings are flooded in a whirlpool of toxic sludge made of human waste and harmful chemicals. The mold and sludge covering everything puts off an unbearable stench. Soggy family photos still cover the walls and are scattered amidst the wreckage. The hot zone was deserted, like a ghost town filled with empty houses, apartments, and stores. No one was allowed in the area except for animal rescuers and local officials. There was no electricity, no life, no nothing; it was literally dead quiet."
LCA's rescue team brought rescued animals back to the daily drop off point set up by Best Friends in St. Bernard Parish and headed back into the hot zone over and over again. "We were able to rescue 20 cats in one day," said DeRose. "Many residents left their animals behind when Katrina was a category three storm, not expecting it to bring the massive flooding and devastation that put the animals' lives in danger."
Days not in the hot zone were spent at the sanctuary caring for the hundreds and hundreds of rescued animals, which included working from morning until night cleaning out cages and feeding and watering animals.
This St. Bernard Parish "ghost town" used to be full of life.
At the sanctuary, all rescued animals are microchipped for identification purposes, have preliminary veterinary exams, and will be placed in temporary foster care for a minimum of 90 days. Healthier animals are airlifted to various places around the country for fostering by flights donated by animal lovers, such as Texas oil magnate, T. Boon Pickens. The reunions between guardians and their companion animals that took place at the sanctuary on a daily basis brought tears to the eyes of all involved and made the grueling, heartbreaking work worthwhile.
When local residents were allowed back into St. Bernard Parish, LCA sympathized with hurricane survivors on the streets -- people who lost everything -- who shared their miraculous and tragic stories. "In spite of their great losses, Louisianans were very much appreciative of everyone's rescue efforts and thankful that groups came all the way down to the hurricane area to help," said DeRose.
After returning to Los Angeles, Chris immediately contacted his friends at A Current Affair and provided them with video footage and photographs. They put together and aired a story on the great animal rescue efforts being made and of the countless animals still in peril. LCA has vowed to continue to work with Best Friends and other rescue groups to make sure the animals get the help they need.
While in Louisiana, LCA's rescue team fell in love with all the rescued animals, especially with a little beagle/bassett hound mix that was rescued from an area where the flooding covered the second story of buildings. She was standing in the front yard of a house and walked over to the rescue group without any hesitation, as if she wanted to be rescued. She somehow managed to survive for four weeks in the toxic sludge of St. Bernard Parish, a terrifying ordeal no one should have to experience. Aptly named "Katrina," by the rescue team, LCA has committed to fostering her while searching for the guardians that she is obviously longing for.
What You Can Do
1) Urge the Federal Government to Support Disaster Animal Protection Legislation
Thousands of animals were separated from their families in the wake of Katrina. Many people that were forced to evacuate were also forced to leave their animals behind. Not only is this illegal, according to Chapter 14, Section 102.1 of Louisiana's Revised Statutes which prohibits animal abandonment, but it adds additional loss and heartbreak to the hurricane victims who have already lost everything. They may never know what became of the companion animals they loved so much but were forced to leave behind. If you haven't already done so, please urge your U.S. representative to support HR 3858, the "Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards of 2005." When passed, this bill will require local and state emergency preparedness authorities to include in their evacuation plans details on how they will accommodate companion animals. HR 3858 has been assigned to the Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure. You can register your support of HR 3858 with this committee's members by calling 202-225-9446. Please do so today!
2) Urge Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco to Help Animal Survivors
Urge Governor Blanco to help save the animals that are still struggling to survive in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Thursday, April 18, 2013
Albert Owens of Summerville, a student at the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, won a national award from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2013.
Albert won a Silver Medal in the Ceramics & Glass category for "Cove Negative." He formerly attended Ashley Ridge High School.
More than 230,000 submissions were received in diverse categories, including painting, sculpture, photography, fashion design, film and animation, and video game design, among others. From those initial submissions, 1,600 of the most talented and ambitious students in grades 7-12 schools were chosen to receive national medals. Albert is one of the seven national award winners in art named for South Carolina.
Students' works were blindly adjudicated, first locally through the 116 affiliates of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the presenting nonprofit of the awards, and then nationally by panels of judges comprised of renowned artists, authors, educators, and arts professionals. This year's list of jurors included Edwidge Danticat, Myla Goldberg, Kurt Andersen, Althea Harper, Red Grooms, and Andres Serrano. Works were judged on originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal vision or voice. Teachers of national winners were also recognized with awards.

This story was updated at 5:05 p.m., Jan. 9, 2014.
Forty people are still homeless after a fire in Montgomery Village on Wednesday afternoon that left a 4-year-old boy dead.
Officials late Thursday afternoon identified the boy as Lancelot Quarshie. The cause of his death was not released.
The fire at the Cider Mill Apartments in the 18200 block of Lost Knife Circle has been ruled accidental, according to Scott Graham, assistant chief with Montgomery County Fire and Rescue. Officials said the fire started in an apartment's kitchen, but the cause is still undetermined as they continue their investigation.
Four people were taken to a local hospital from the garden-style apartment building — among them, a man in serious condition with life-threatening injuries, according to Scott Goldstein, a spokesman with the fire service. No update on the man's condition was available Thursday.
Outside the three-story apartment building, a baby stroller and bright purple tricycle sat in a pile of ashes. The windows and entrances into the building have been boarded up with plywood.
The fire started shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday, said fire service spokeswoman Beth Anne Nesselt.
Heavy smoke rose from the second floor. About 80 firefighters responded and the blaze was extinguished within 20 minutes.
Goldstein said it's not certain when the 40 residents would be allowed back into their homes.
Patty Vasquez was among the residents standing outside their flame-scarred apartment building Wednesday evening as firefighters dumped buckets of ash and debris off a second-story balcony.
Vasquez, wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt, said she had just brought her daughter home from school when the fire started. There was no time to pick up winter coats and hats before they had to evacuate.
"When there's a fire, everybody runs out," she said.
Residents who had not left the area were moved to a heated county medical ambulance bus in the parking lot, but Goldstein said they would have to find somewhere else to spend the night.
Twelve apartments were evacuated. The property manager declined to comment on the incident. A representative for the company that owns the apartments did not respond to calls.
Damage estimates are $750,000 to the structure and $300,000 to contents, according to Graham's news release.
Firefighters will be in the area this week distributing information to residents about fire safety and offering to check smoke alarms, officials said Thursday. The program is part of the department's "Safety in Our Neighborhood" community outreach educational campaign conducted by firefighters throughout the county each Saturday. Any resident who wants more information about the program or to have their smoke alarms checked may call 311 to schedule a visit by firefighters.
