Poetry in Print — April 2010
This is the third year that I have prepared a bibliography of poetry by Mormons in print for National Poetry Month. Surprisingly, this year we only added titles to the list — nothing went out-of-print. But don't think that is because all these books are easy to find.
2009 was a very good year for poetry. I've identified 8 new titles published since last year's list. In addition, seven titles by Karen Kelsay, who let us know about her poetry last year, are included on this year's list.
The only downside is how difficult it is to get some of these titles. Last year, when I learned that BYU would issue The Complete Poetry of Eliza R. Snow, I ordered a copy from Amazon.com. Three months later the book still hadn't arrived — BYU never sent it to Amazon. When Amazon canceled the order, I ended up purchasing the book from a dealer.
Unfortunately, this isn't unusual. BYU normally does this with the books they publish — and the new edition of Discoveries: Two Centuries of Poems by Mormon Women, also released last year, doesn't even appear on Amazon–or anywhere else for that matter.
Another of the new volumes released last year, Mary Lythgoe Bradford's Purple, also isn't available from anywhere but the publisher, Dialogue. But unlike BYU, this is likely because of Dialogue's relative inexperience in distributing books. In addition, many of the titles published using Lulu, the vanity printer, such as R. A. Christmas' When it Snowed in Pasadena, released last year, also don't appear on Amazon or other major sellers, probably because the authors don't know about alternative printers and distributors who can sell on Amazon at a reasonable price (Lulu charges extra to sell books outside its own website).
The problem with this is, of course, that the titles that don't make the national distribution network, and through this network appear on Amazon.com and other major booksellers, are hard to find and remain unknown to most of their potential audience. For that audience, its as if the books were never published.
Again this year I tried to be thorough. I've compared the authors on this list to those in the Mormon Literature and Culture database, to Andrew Hall's superb review of what was published in the last year, and last year's posts and comments about poetry here on A Motley Vision. Of course, it is possible, if not likely, that I have missed something. Please let me know.

Lee Allred says:
You might consider adding the hymnal to the list. (No, not my "Hymnal," the LDS Hymmal. 🙂 )
Wm Morris says:
Thanks, Kent.
BTW, I should have something on The Nephiad soon — I've been distracted by other things, but Michael sent me a review copy (which I have read) and he and I will hopefully will discuss it soon.
Th. says:
Maybe it would be helpful, given things are more likely to remain in print these days, to set apart new volumes — perhaps by putting them in color or somesuch?
But, as always, thank you.
There's also The Clearing by Philip White, who was published in Harvest. The Clearing was published in 2007 by Texas Tech.
Kent Larsen says:
Thanks for that, Tyler. I'll add it to the list.
One of the things I should do to make sure this includes everyone is to review all the authors of poetry in LDS-oriented anthologies and periodicals, and check to see if those authors have books published. I my not pick up many, but there are probably a few that will be added.

'Dumbo's Writer Ehren Kruger On Expanding On The Mythology Of The Animated Original
By eelyajekiM | @ | March 25th, 2019 at 5:00 pm
Disney's 1941 animated feature Dumbo did not have much of a script. The film, which saw the titular pachyderm go off an adventure of a lifetime after he was separated from his mother, explores themes of friendship, tolerance of differences, and self-confidence. So when it was announced that the studio would be releasing an updated version of that with a live-action retelling, they tasked writer Ehren Kruger with expanding upon the original while also making it fresh by adding new themes to it.
At the Dumbo press conference, Kruger spoke about some of the challenges that came with expanding the animated original, which was 60 minutes long, to an updated 100-plus-minute film.

'Dumbo's Danny Elfman On Never Knowing What To Expect From Tim Burton
Director Tim Burton and composer Danny Elfman have collaborated as a directing and scoring duo for at least 17 films, beginning with 1985's Pee-wee's Big Adventure. While many would believe that the long working relationship between the two would mean that they know what they want from each other, that wouldn't be the case, at least, according to Elfman.
After working together on such contemporary favorites like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, the two join forces once again for Disney's Dumbo, a live-action reimagining of Disney's 1941 animated classic. In it, Colin Ferrell play Holt, a former circus star who finds his life turned upside down when he returns from World War I a changed man and is tasked with taking care of Dumbo, a new baby elephant whose giant ears make him the laughing stock of an already struggling circus. Little do they know that the elephant has a special talent that will not only save their circus, but also attract some persuasive entrepreneurs who will exploit that talent for their own greedy needs.
We were recently invited to sit down with our fellow journalists at the press conference for Dumbo. During that time, Elfman talked about his working relationship with the unpredictable Burton, creating new music inspired by a classic film, and more. Check out what he had to say here below.
'Justice League': Danny Elfman To Compose Score
By BAADASSSSS! | June 15th, 2017 at 11:00 am
Now that Joss Whedon has taken on the responsibility of completing production on Justice League in time for its release this fall following Zack Snyder's departure from the movie due to a death in his family, he has brought on the always amazing Danny Elfman to compose the score for the much-anticipated DC Films blockbuster.
The hiring of Elfman comes just as Whedon is about to commence with the filming of additional scenes in London. Obviously this isn't Elfman's first time creating original music for a big-budget superhero movie; his score for Tim Burton's first Batman in 1989 captured the film's madness, melancholy, adventure, and Gothic atmosphere perfectly and continues to influence composers to this day. He also created the themes for the first TV series of The Flash, which aired for one season from 1990-1991, and Batman: The Animated Series.

'The Mummy' Director Talks Other Dark Universe Movies Being Planned
By eelyajekiM | @ | June 6th, 2017 at 1:00 pm
This weekend, Universal will launch the start of their brand new Dark Universe monsters franchise with a reboot of The Mummy. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the film will bring together some of our favorite classic monsters in an all new shared universe involving Universal Monsters. It will be followed up by the Bill Condon-directed Bride of Frankenstein, starring Javier Bardem; Creature of the Black Lagoon from screenwriters Jeff Pinkner and Will Beall; The Invisible Man, starring Johnny Depp; and Van Helsing, from Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts, Arrival writer Eric Heisserer, and Dan Mazeau.
But that is just the beginning. Because Kurtzman says there are more Dark Universe films on the way. In a new interview, the man responsible for building this new Universal Monsters shared universe says Dracula, Frankenstein, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Phantom of the Opera are being developed. More on the story below.

Universal Names Monsters Franchise "Dark Universe"; 'Bride Of Frankenstein' To Follow 'The Mummy'
By eelyajekiM | @ | May 22nd, 2017 at 4:00 pm
Shared universes can be a tough sell nowadays, especially now since they can be perceived as derivative. However, if a studio puts the right creative minds together, these shared universes can be very successful.
Universal Pictures will take their first steps into launching their own starting with a reboot of The Mummy. And they are confident enough in their monsters filled universe that they have announced that the series of films reviving the studio's classic characters for a new generation will be known as their "Dark Universe." More on the story below.

Tim Burton's 'Edward Scissorhands' Returns To Blu-ray For 25th Anniversary
By BAADASSSSS! | July 9th, 2015 at 12:30 pm
It has been almost twenty-five years since Tim Burton's imaginative fable Edward Scissorhands enchanted audiences around the world with its haunting visuals, dark humor, and a performance by Johnny Depp in the title role that to this day continues to be ranked among the superstar's finest.
Later this fall, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will re-release Scissorhands on Blu-ray to mark the occasion of its silver anniversary. The first time the film was released in the format, it received a disappointing transfer and a few modest bonus features (including a director's commentary), but the commemorative set Fox has assembled will undergo a much-needed restoration and most likely be upgraded in the supplements department. It will also come packaged with some collectible goodies inspired by the film.
The new Blu-ray will be available for pre-order at this year's San Diego Comic-Con and those attendees of the convention who take the plunge will also be able to get their hands on an exclusive limited-edition lithograph created by artist Mark Englert in collaboration with Gallery 1988.
You can check out both the Blu-ray package art and the lithograph, provided by Entertainment Weekly, here below.

Blu-ray Review: Oz The Great and Powerful

Oz: The Great and Powerful
Blu-ray/DVD/Digital l Blu-ray/Digital l Blu-ray 3D/Digital l DVD/Digital
WRITERS: Mitchell Kapner, David Lindsay-Abaire
STARRING: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Zach Braff, Joey King, Bill Cobbs, Tony Cox, Bruce Campbell
Walt Disney Home Entertainment
When we first heard back in 2010 that a new movie based on the fantastical tale The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum titled Oz the Great and Powerful was on the way with American Beauty and Skyfall director Sam Mendes and Robert Downey Jr. possibly attached, there was certainly intrigue, but there was also a whole lot of question as to the sanity of Disney. 1939's The Wizard of Oz is a timeless classic, beloved by millions, and despite it being a remake in its own right (see older versions here) the thought of someone even trying to do anything set in the land of Oz seemed absurd. But as I said over three years ago, Baum's world and characters are eternally ripe for reinterpretation.
Eventually The Evil Dead and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi became attached, then stepped away from the planned World of Warcraft movie to take on Oz. Some complications arose, as is always expected. Downey Jr. was replaced by Johnny Depp for the lead, then James Franco was eventually cast to replace Depp. Obviously things settled down eventually and the movie got made, but does it recapture the same magic that the '39 classic had, or does it swing and miss?

Winner of the 1990 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program, Beetlejuice: The Series was created by Executive producers Tim Burton and David Geffen and ran on ABC and FOX from 1989 to 1992.

Beetlejuice: The Complete Series includes all 94 episodes from the shows's 4-season run. That's 2160 minutes of macabre mayhem; 36 hours of classic hand-drawn animation of sandworms (Ya hate 'em right? I HATE 'EM MYSELF!).

Disney In Depth: Blu-ray Review: Frankenweenie
By Brett Nachman | @ | May 30th, 2013 at 5:30 pm
4-Disc 3D/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital | 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD l DVD
Directed by Tim Burton
Starring Charlie Tahan, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder, Martin Landeau
Release Date: Jan 8, 2013
Summer is here. The time has arrived for film buffs to catch up on films they may have overlooked in recent months. Put Frankenweenie on that list, an overlooked Tim Burton feature with funkiness and flaws a plenty. Let's dig up my review of Frankenweenie on Blu-ray in this edition of Disney In Depth.
The dog, man's best friend. They possess the ceaseless loyalty, friendship and empathy that most humans only wish they could have. No wonder why the loss of a dog can bring about such sadness. Burton infuses immense passion and consideration into this pet project of his, finally adapted into this full-length, entirely stop-motion feature.

The story imagines a fictional Balkan principality, Pontevedro, which is on the brink of economic disaster. In an effort to prevent certain ruin, a charming but raffish Pontevedrian aristocrat, Count Danilo, is persuaded to woo and marry a rich and sophisticated widow, Hanna Glawari, before she can marry a foreigner. Amid the inevitable plot complications and madcap misunderstandings, we learn that Danilo and Hanna had been childhood sweethearts, before Danilo abandoned Hanna, who was then an innocent peasant girl.
Playful and insouciant, comically buoyant and a perennial crowd-pleaser, The Merry Widow was premiered by The Australian Ballet in 1975 and entered the repertoire of The National Ballet of Canada in 1986.

Uprowadzenie z seraju (niem. Die Entführung aus dem Serail, KV 384) – opera singspiel Wolfganga Amadeusa Mozarta z librettem autorstwa Gottlieba Stephanie napisanym na podstawie tekstu Christopha Friedricha Bretznera.

Uprowadzenie z seraju było pierwszym dziełem scenicznym, z jakim, mający wówczas 26 lat, Mozart wystąpił w Wiedniu.

 Selim Basza – rola mówiona
 Konstancja – sopran/sopran koloraturowy
 Blonda, pokojowa Konstancji – sopran
 Belmonte – tenor
 Pedrillo, sługa Belmonta – tenor
 Osmin, zarządca domu Selim Baszy – bas
 naczelnik straży – rola mówiona
 wioślarz – rola mówiona
 chór niewolników, straż

Treść
Miejscem akcji, która rozgrywa się w XVI wieku, jest seraj – pałac tureckiego baszy. Opera opowiada historię próby uprowadzenia z niego Konstancji i Blondy, które zostały porwane przez piratów i sprzedane Selimowi Baszy.

Akt I. Belmonte w poszukiwaniu swej narzeczonej Konstancji, porwanej przez korsarzy, przybywa do Turcji i zjawia się przed pałacem baszy Selima, któremu została sprzedana Konstancja wraz ze swą pokojówką Blondą. Podstarzały, lecz pełen wigoru Turek Osmin, zarządzający posiadłościami dostojnika, węszy jakiś podstęp i nie chce wpuścić intruza do pałacu. Hałas sprzeczki ściąga Pedrilla, służącego Belmonta, zakochanego w Blondzie, który zdołał już wkraść się w łaski groźnego baszy. Po odejściu Osmina Pedrillo opowiada Belmontowi, że Konstancja wiernie czeka na niego, odrzucając wciąż dowody uczucia zakochanego w niej bez pamięci baszy Selima. Również Blonda wesołymi żartami zbywa zaloty podstarzałego Osmina i wraz ze swą panią z utęsknieniem czeka na wybawienie z niewoli. Gdy nadchodzi basza w towarzystwie Konstancji (aria Konstancji "Ach, ich liebte"), Pedrillo przedstawia mu swego pana jako znakomitego budowniczego. Podstęp udaje się i Belmonte mimo oporu podejrzliwego Osmina wkracza w progi pałacu.

Akt II rozpoczyna się sceną między Blondą a Osminem. Pełna temperamentu dziewczyna energicznie paraliżuje zakusy Turka. Strapiony całkowicie Osmin odchodzi, zaś Blonda dodaje odwagi Konstancji, która tęskniąc za Belmontem, poczyna już tracić nadzieję (aria "Martern aller Arten"). Po odejściu Konstancji zjawia się Pedrillo z wiadomością, że Belmonte już przybył i okręt jego czeka na morzu niedaleko pałacu baszy. Blonda śpieszy zanieść swej pani tę radosna wieść, Pedrillo zaś przygotowuje się do ostatecznej rozgrywki przeciwko chytremu Osminowi. Znając słabość Turka do zakazanych przez Mahometa trunków, obdarowuje go pękatą flaszką cypryjskiego wina, do której uprzednio nasypał proszku nasennego. Gdy Osmin, pociągnąwszy tęgo z flaszki, upija się, a następnie usypia, w ogrodzie spotykają się obie zakochane pary. Akt II kończy się wspaniałym kwartetem, w którym wszyscy czworo snują marzenia o bliskiej już wolności.

Akt III. Belmonte i Pedrillo przybywają nocą pod okna haremu, wzywając śpiewem Konstancję i Blondę. Po chwili wszyscy uchodzą spiesznie w kierunku morza. Lecz oto drzwi pałacu otwierają się i staje w nich Osmin, który tymczasem zupełnie otrzeźwiał. Na jego wezwanie janczarowie ruszają w pogoń: po chwili zbiegowie zostają schwytani i postawieni przed obliczem, rozgniewanego baszy. Osmin triumfuje. We wspaniałej arii ("Ach, wie will ich triumphieren") maluje – sam przed sobą – obrazy wyszukanych tortur, jakie niezawodnie czekają zbiegów. Staje się jednak inaczej. Ich miłość, nie lękająca się nawet śmierci, i chęć poświęcenia się – jedno dla drugiego – wzruszają serce baszy, który wspaniałomyślnie darowuje wszystkim czworgu upragnioną wolność.

Historia utworu
Utwór jest wodewilem (singspiel). Powstał na przełomie lat 1781 i 1782, po przeprowadzce Mozarta do Wiednia. Opera była prezentem ślubnym dla dopiero co poślubionej Konstancji Weber. Premiera, która miała miejsce 16 lipca 1782, okazała się wielkim sukcesem. Rok później, 8 maja 1783, opera pojawia się na deskach Teatru Narodowego w Warszawie. Jest to pierwsza opera w języku niemieckim, która zyskała taką popularność. Cesarz Józef II nazwał ją pierwszą operą narodową.

Turecka stylizacja opery została uzyskana dzięki zastosowaniu bębnów, dzwonków i trójkątów. Inspiracją do podjęcia się pracy nad utworem była panująca wówczas w Wiedniu moda na orientalizm. Mozart często odwiedzał stragany sprzedawców tureckich handlujących m.in. bakaliami, jedwabiem i innymi towarami orientalnymi, co pobudzało wyobraźnię i przysparzało nowych doznań estetycznych. Również dzięki temu stworzył ciekawą, barwną i wzbogaconą o "efekty fajerwerku" oprawę muzyczną. Nie brakuje tam też momentów dramatyzmu, napięcia, niepokoju aby po tym zakończyć całość wzajemnym przebaczeniem i pojednaniem. Opera trafiła w gusty wiedeńczyków, a popularne melodie były przerobione dla potrzeb słuchania w kameralnym towarzystwie. Uprowadzenie z seraju było najczęściej wystawianą operą za życia kompozytora spośród wszystkich jego oper, po niej plasuje się Idomeneusz, król Krety (KV 366).

500 Million People to Use Mobile Health Apps by 2015: mHealth Study
Here's a snapshot of what went on this week in Washington D.C.
By Jenara Nerenberg 1 minute Read
Five hundred million people will be using mobile health apps by 2015, according to the "Global Mobile Health Market Report 2010-2015,"
released yesterday. "Our findings indicate that the long-expected
mobile revolution in healthcare is set to happen. Both healthcare
providers and consumers are embracing smartphones as a means to
improving healthcare," said head researcher, Ralf-Gordon Jahns.
The study was part of the mHealth Summit, which wrapped Wednesday and offered a picture on industry that's booming at home and abroad.
Of the current health apps on the market, 43% are designed for health care professionals, indicating the future of mHealth has far-reaching personal and institutional potential.
Bill Gates keynoted the conference and was clear about the future or mobile health.
"Diagnosis of malaria and TB will likely be the first ones you can assign a number to and say without this mobile phone app these people would have died," Gates said. "In the diagnostics areas we're seeing some very good stuff come through."
On the domestic front, Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said, "We need to be moving towards open sourced, independent infrastructure where you have components of different manufacturers that can plug and play. FDA is looking to the development of those different types of standards to get the biggest bang for our buck."
And Aneesh Chopra, U.S. Chief Technology Officer, told attendees at the summit that cloud computing and improved connectivity are likely to speed up the process by which mobile health innovations go from ideas to implementation.
"It is important for us to knock down bottlenecks and barriers as they come," he said.

Protein shakers are specifically designed bottles that are used to dissolve protein powders, pre workouts supplements, intra workout supplements, post workout supplements, and pretty much anything that's in powdered form.
Anyone who has tried using a protein powder will know that it is sometimes difficult to dissolve the powder into a smooth shake if you are using just a spoon. Consequently, for best results, a blender is often used. However, there are a few downsides associated with blenders. First of all, they are not portable and most people only have one. Therefore, you can't use them at the gym or on the go. You also have to rinse it out in between uses when making multiple shakes, unless you want some interesting flavour mixes. This is where shaker bottles come in. They are relatively inexpensive, so you can purchase many, and they are completely portable. Being a closed container, they are also a convenient way to transport powders.
Big lid opening: A narrow opening should be avoided at all costs, because it will almost certainly result in you losing some powder to the kitchen table.
Shaker ball: These are typically coiled wire balls made from stainless steel. Mixing a powder is much easier when one of these is being bounced around inside the bottle. It may seem simple, but a ball really does help to give a much smoother shake with fewer clumps.
Screw top lid: A good screw top is vital when it comes to shakers. Given that you will be shaking the bottle with great vigour, the last thing you want is for the lid to be flying open mid-shake, leaving you covered in a half shaken protein shake.
Firmly shutting drinking lid: Look for a shaker with a drinking lid that either snaps shut, or feels very firm when shut. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, much like the main lid, you do not want this lid to be flying open mid shake. Secondly, many people carry powders in the shaker inside their gym bag. A loose drinking lid is a good way to ensure that your gym bag and its contents are getting their daily dose of protein.
Volume measurement marks: Often, supplement manufacturers will specify the recommended amount of water (or other liquid) to add to a given amount of powder. This is generally to ensure that your shake is not too thick or watery. Having visible markers on the shaker eliminates the need for you to estimate or to use a separate measuring cup.
Dishwasher safe: Shaker bottles are not the hardest things to clean, but the convenience of being able to dish washer these are definitely a plus. This is especially important for those that go through multiple shakes per day.
Get the right size: This is important. Shakers generally come in two sizes, either 400 mL or 600 mL. If you intend on making a 500 mL shake, you obviously cannot use a 400 mL shaker. However, one thing to keep in mind is to account for not only the volume of the liquid your adding, but also the powder itself. If you are combining 200 g powder to 400 mL water, the combined volume is going to be well above 400 mL, and a 600 mL shaker will therefore be the right size to opt for.
After you have purchased your ideal shaker bottles, there are a few tips that will further simplify your shake making experience.
If you can, add liquids first. This way, you will always know exactly how much liquid you are putting in. If you add the powder first, there is a degree of guessing, because the powder will start absorbing the liquid and you can't accurately measure how much you poured in. Furthermore, adding liquid first gives a smoother, more homogenous, clump-free shake without any undissolved residue stuck to the bottom. This makes cleaning much easier. This order is obviously more difficult if you are drinking your shake at the gym, because you will be using the shaker bottle to carry the powder. In such cases, shaker bottles with separate powder compartments are quite ideal.
If you intend on hand washing the bottle, soak the bottle immediately after use with a bit of detergent and water, all the way to the brim. Place the lid upside down, sitting inside the brim of the bottle, with the drinking lid open. This gives a much more comprehensive wash, especially in the nooks and crannies of the lid.
So do you absolutely need a shaker? The answer is no. But a few shakers on hand will make your life so much easier.

Custody & Visitation | University Place, Tacoma, WA | Josephson Family Law & Mediation Services Inc., P.S.
Washington prefers "primary residential parent" to "custodial parent" and "residential schedule" to "visitation." Whatever the words used, the result is the same and can be devastating for a parent who does not think alternate weekends from Friday after school to Sunday at 6:00 p.m. and one mid-week overnight sufficient time to be with your children. There does seem to be a growing trend to 50/50 time and increasingly more generous and liberal residential time.
"Custody" is a very loaded term and one which is often misunderstood by non-lawyers. There is "legal custody" and "primary physical custody." Parents have "joint legal custody" unless their parental rights have been terminated, typically on the basis of unfitness. In simple terms, unless you have been stripped of their parental rights, parents have the rights, joys, privileges, and aches and pains of parenthood. Parents have the right and obligation to support their children financially, provide for their health needs, schooling, etc. "Primary residential parent" refers to the parent who, according to the Parenting Plan or Residential Schedule, have the child(ren) the majority of the time. Again, however, both parents can be designated as "primary parents," with no preferential designation of primary parent. Speak with an experienced family law attorney to discuss what is best for you and your children.
In dissolution actions and parenting plan and child support actions, the Court looks to what is in the best interests of the child(ren), the status quo, as well as a number of other factors in order to determine the best parenting plan for your child(ren). While it may be very difficult–and assuming no abuse or areas of major concern–parents need to recognize that their children need both parents and two parents who behave.
Third-Party Custody Cases – In today's world, birth parents are often unable to care for their children because of substance abuse or other issues which impact the ability of the birth parents to parent appropriately. Grandparents, family members, and other third-parties often file third-party custody petitions to get custody of children whose birth parents are unfit.
Visitation refers to the residential schedule or parenting plan schedule which sets out the time that the child has with the parties.

Culture Hound
The best TV, music, movies and books for May
By Reuben Brody
Welcome to Culture Hound, InsideHook's deep dive into the month's most important (pop) cultural happenings.
ATTEND: The Prince Memorial
The City of Los Angeles is hosting a massive Prince Memorial this Thursday on the steps of City Hall, which went purple after news broke of the pop icon's passing. From the Mayor's announcement to LACMA's Rain Room going purple, this event is the culmination of how much love and respect our town has for the artist. The all-star roster includes Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, Chaka Khan and Sheila E. (May 6)
LISTEN: The Virginmarys
Remember guitars? This U.K. trio does. Divides, the band's second record, offers a beguilingly retro mix of Southern-tinged classic rock, anthemic Brit-rock and '90s alternative — hat tip here to producer Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters), who keeps all the disparate elements codified. It's the rare band that could play nice with Buckcherry, Queens of the Stone Age or Ash … and they have. (May 6)
SMELL: AIX Scent Fair
You ever caught a whiff of something and been struck with a memory from the past? That's because smell is the sense tied most strongly to memory. You can see — or rather smell — just how that happens at the AIX Scent Fair, where you'll watch and interact with perfumers and fragrance makers as they use chemistry to dazzle your olfactory faculties (also makes a great Mother's Day gift). (May 6-8)
PLAY: Doom
Sometimes, you just want to grab a rocket launcher and kill some demons. A continuation/reimagining/sequel to the popular old-school FPS, this version of Doom features a more advanced melee system (crows gamemaker Bethesda: "Knock-down, slash, stomp, crush and blow apart demons in creative, violent ways!"). Creepy as ever in single-player campaign mode, more Unreal-like shoot 'em-up fun in the multiplayer deathmatch. (May 13)
SEE: Cinespia Cemetery Films
What's an L.A. summer without classic films at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery? A wan one. Cinespia, now in its 15th year, kicks off with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, natch, but we're looking to hit Silence of the Lambs. Idea for picnic: preorder Howlin' Ray's Fried Chicken; it's also great cold. (May 14)
WATCH: Preacher
Seth Rogen helped develop this AMC adaptation of the acclaimed '90s comic book, a violent supernatural tale of a possessed preacher, an Irish vampire and an ex-girlfriend who attempt to find God … but instead run into a rogues' gallery of supernatural weirdos. Including a guy named Arseface. (May 22)
READ: The City of Mirrors
This is your can't-put-down summer beach read. Mirrors is the third and final book in Justin Cronin's The Passage series, a post-apocalyptic "vampire" epic that plays like a mix of The Stand, 28 Days Later or even Colson Whitehead's Zone One. Basically, a more literary take on a genre tale. (May 24)
PERUSE: A whole lot of NSFW videos
Rihanna's "Needed Me" isn't really a happy summer jam, but it does make for a rather seedy, NC-17 strip club tale, as portrayed by Spring Breakers auteur Harmony Korine. For even creepier vibes: a bootleg of a never-seen "snuff" film meant to accompany Nine Inch Nails' 1993 release Broken just popped up on the Interwebs. And finally, on a peppier note: model Zippora Seven goes streaking over a French indie pop number in a video celebrating lifestyle mag Monster Children's 50th issue.
LISTEN: The best songs of May
Take a listen to our monthly Spotify playlist of the month's best new music, featuring Gold Panda, Barns Courtney, the return of DJ Shadow (with Run the Jewels), The Avett Brothers and over an hour of good tunes.
Also: Chelsea Handler begins her new thrice-weekly, thankfully uncensored talk show on Netflix (5/11) … M. Night Shyamalan's surprisingly decent mind-twist Wayward Pines returns for a second season (5/25) … The Lobster is sort of like a rom-com without the com, but with a lot of Logan's Run and Dr. Doolittle (5/13) … Anthony Weiner gets exposed (more) in the doc barring his last name (5/20) … Hey, it's got Wolverine and Olivia Munn. All hail X-Men: Apocalypse (5/27) … Don DeLillo's explores tech, death and dystopia with Zero K (5/3).

Hugs, drugs and choices—helping traumatised animals
July 24, 2017 by David John Roland, The Conversation
Interspecies relationships can help traumatised animals form healthy attachments. Credit: Sugarshine animal sactuary, CC BY-SA
Rosie, like a real-life Babe, ran away from an organic piggery when she was only a few days old. She was found wandering in a car park, highly agitated, by a family who took her home and made her their live-in pet. However, after three months they could no longer keep her.
She was relocated to the Sugarshine animal sanctuary, outside Lismore in New South Wales. Kelly Nelder, Sugarshine's founder and a mental health nurse, described her as "highly strung" and "needy". It's not surprising that Rosie, after the loss of two primary care attachments, was unable to bond with the other pigs; she was traumatised.
I met Rosie when I visited Sugarshine, investigating the similarities between human and animal trauma. I spent 20 years as a clinical and forensic psychologist, but as an undergraduate I studied zoology.
My zoology lecturers told us not to anthropomorphise – that is, not to project human qualities, intentions and emotions onto the animals we studied. But now there is a growing recognition of animals' inner life and their experience of psychopathology, including trauma.
At Sugarshine, traumatised animals are given freedom to find solitude or company as they wish. Interspecies relationships are encouraged, like a baby goat being cared for by a male adult pig, or a rooster who sleeps alongside a goat.
Rosie has been at Sugarshine for a few months now and is more settled, roaming its gullies, farmyards and shelters, although according to Kelly she's still anxious. She prefers the company of the bobby calves, wedging herself between them as they lie on the ground, getting skin-to-skin contact, falling asleep, and beginning the reattachment process.
Understanding trauma in animals
I first made the connection between human and animal trauma on a visit to Possumwood Wildlife, a centre outside Canberra that rehabilitates injured kangaroos and abandoned joeys, wallabies and wombats. There I met its founders, economics professor Steve Garlick and his partner Dr Rosemary Austen, a GP.
When joeys were first brought into their care, Steve told me, they were "inconsolable" and "dying in our arms", even while physically unharmed, with food and shelter available to them.
But this response made sense once they recognised the joey's symptoms as reminiscent of post-traumatic stress disorder in humans: intrusive symptoms, avoidant behaviour, disturbed emotional states, heightened anxiety and hypervigilance.
Researchers at the University of Western Australia have developed non-invasive means for measuring stress and mood in animals and are now working with sheep farmers to improve the well-being of their animals. PTSD has been identified in elephants, dogs, chimpanzees and baboons, for example.
Safe, calm and caring
To rehabilitate from trauma, humans and animals need to feel safe and away from cues that trigger the individual's threat response, deactivating the sympathetic nervous system (the fight-flight response). They also need a means of self-soothing, or to gain soothing from another, activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest, digest and calm response).
Progress, from then on, requires the development of a secure relationship with at least one other accepting and caring person or animal. Often, this "other" is someone new. In mammals, including us, this activates our affiliative system: our strong desire for close interpersonal relationships for safety, soothing and stability. We enter a calmer, receptive state of being so that the reattachment process can begin.
Possumwood uses three stages for trauma rehabilitation. Young animals are first kept in a dark, quiet environment indoors to reduce noises or sounds that might trigger their fight-flight response. Here they have the opportunity to develop new kin friendships of their own choosing.

Sedatives (Diazepam and Fluphenazine) are judiciously used in the early stages. Then, the principal carer spends as much time as possible feeding and caressing them to build a new bond.
Kangaroos are social animals, unable to survive in the wild unless part of a mob. So joeys are moved next to a large garage, and then finally to an outdoor yard, gradually being exposed to more kangaroos and creating social bonds. Once a mob grows to 30 or so healthy animals, they are released into the wild together.
The fundamentals are the same
The similarity between animal and human trauma is not surprising. Mammalian brains (birds also appear to experience trauma) share the principal architecture involved in experiencing trauma. The primates, and certainly humans, have a greater capacity for cognitive reflection, which in my clinical experience can be both a help and a hindrance.
My observations of trauma rehabilitation at Sugarshine and Possumwood emphasises the universal fundamentals:
A sense of agency (freedom and control over their choices)
To feel safe
To develop a trusting, caring bond with at least one other creature
Reintegration into the community at the trauma sufferer's own discretion.
For those experiencing social isolation and shame around their trauma – such as returned soldiers or the victims of domestic violence – these principles could not be more pertinent. And for our non-human cousins, like Rosie, we would do well to remember that they do feel, and they do hurt.

Eliot spitzer
Mark Sanford Makes Vampire Love Look Good
So Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina wasn't hiking on the Appalachian Trail, as his staff led us to believe. Nor was he off alone to "clear his head" as his wife reported. Nope. Republican Governor Sanford was hiding out with an Argentinian lover who signed her emails with "sweet kisses" and "I'll dream with you" http://www.thestate.com/sanford/story/839350.html.
Meanwhile, we, the incredulous public, are still reeling from TLC reality couple Jon and Kate's decision to split after Jon's alleged affair with a preschool teacher. And that's after picking our jaws up off the floor following revelations that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was smitten with a prostitute named Kristen.
Why the great shag fest? Because, as anybody who tries it knows, marriage is tough. It's an institution held together by duct tape that unravels over time, when romantic notions crumble beneath the collective weight of parenting, vacuuming and bill paying.
I have proof. For many years, I was a sex and marriage columnist for three different women's magazines. A lot of letters started like this: "My wife is too tired for sex." Even where bonfires once raged, embers cooled: "I'm no longer attracted to my wife since she became such a fatso." Or, "My husband's a workaholic and I met the perfect man on the Internet. Is phone sex cheating?"
When I first started reading these letters and scouring the country for experts to dish out advice, I was in a state of disbelief. According to the media, everybody is having great sex all of the time, even married people, and orgasms are as easy to come by as sneezes. Then one night I went to a dinner party with friends and the women began talking about how they avoided sex with their husbands. One woman said, "I know not to smile at my husband when I get into bed, because then he thinks I'm in the mood. I'd rather read a good mystery novel than have sex." Another told me, "If my husband is still awake when I go to bed, I make some excuse, like I have to go downstairs and make sure all of the lights are out. By the time I come back up, I know he'll be snoring and I'm off the hook."
Say what? But that's not as bad as the hot tub party I went to a few months later — women only, all of us in bathing suits, nothing kinky, sorry – where we played one of those truth-or-dare games after a few fizzy drinks. One question went like this: "If your vagina was an article of clothing, what would it be?" Hot, right? Except that most answers went like this: "A shut purse," "A worn out sweater," "A tattered pair of stockings," or some other forlorn item.
More recently, I went to my book club's discussion of Twilight, that soft porn vampire novel. This was a true literary love fest among our book club members – soccer and baseball moms, mostly – who crooned over Edward, the vampire hero at the heart of that series. Why? Because Edward is a true gentleman, a guy determined to keep his lover safe by not biting her neck, no matter how good she smells. Chivalry is not dead. You just need to find a vampire lover strong enough to race through the forest while carrying you on his back.
What does this all add up to? I'm not sure, except that I'm not surprised that Jon chose a preschool teacher over hypercritical Kate, or that Mark Sanford ran away to Argentina, to a woman who signs off her emails with, "I'll dream with you." Dreams and lovers, and maybe even prostitutes, are much easier to take than the thorny reality of slogging through children and housework, jobs and disappointments, death and taxes, with only occasional moments to embrace between chores. Those of us who stay married might not make the papers, but we are truly making love.

The Structure of Political Ideology, and Its Influence on Voter Turnout: An Analysis of the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections
Hughes_ku_0099M_10157_DATA_1.pdf (176.2Kb)
Hughes, Robert Paul
This article uses data from the 2000 and 2004 waves of the American National Election Survey to examine the influence of the ideological dimensions of moraltraditionalism and market-fundamentalism on voter turnout. The majority of the literature on voting behavior utilizes a single-dimensional measure of "ideology," however, literature focused on the structure and organization of "ideology" suggests that it is multi-dimensional. Studies using a multi-dimensional approach only rarely apply the framework to questions of civic and political participation. In this paper, I seek to place these two disparate literatures in dialogue, by applying a dualdimensional ideological framework to the question of voter turnout. My findings strongly support a dual-dimension conceptualization, in contrast to the singledimensional approach commonly utilized. I find that nearly half of the population has a distinct political leaning on one dimension, while trending toward the center on the other. I also find that each dimension's influence on the decision to vote is independent of the other. While both dimensions are organized within liberalconservative frameworks, each dimension is distinct, and both should not be combined into a single liberal/conservative ideological framework.

Mind the Gap? West Coast Laidlaw Report identifies huge problems in the DfT and The Treasury
Published 10th December 2012
London - Skills and Accountability gaps to be closed in Department for Transport and The Treasury.
West Coast Report
Mr Laidlaw's final report of what went wrong in the West Coast Franchise (WCF) award last summer has been published and as with the interim report, lays the blame fairly and squarely with the Department for Transport (DfT) and The Treasury.
These two Government departments did not work together but this was compounded by the individual way sections within the departments. The report also said that there was no overall person in charge so therefore was no overall decision maker. Why should the DfT and Treasury liaise with each other you may ask?
The West Coast franchise (as with others) potentially carries a huge financial risk for Government and bidders alike. These risks are supposed to be shared with the Treasury Approval Point Panel for debate and assessment.
Financial calculations too difficult for The Treasury?
The financial risk modelling included which version of the Passenger Demand Forecasting model to use. This is a detailed analysis of current and potential passenger numbers and thus revenue income for the franchise. It seems it was too difficult for the Treasury to get to grips with so they left it for the DfT to make a decision on.
Other risks identified were the dysfunctional way of working leading to both process and accountability problems. This was made worse by a lack of clarity as to what the outputs were expected to be so far as the franchise competition was concerned.
Serious questions were also raised about the basis of what internal quality assurance control procedures were applied. The lack of quality assurance was put down to failures within the DfT to follow up on the results of internal processes and procedures.
The absence of clear accountability fostered a culture of limited ownership and resolution. All bidders were anonymised, that is given different identifies so there could be no bias shown for or against any given bidder by DfT or Treasury staff. The report says that this also created barriers and some senior DfT officials expressed concern that this requirement for anonymity may have hindered information flow, restricted ongoing peer review and governance oversight.
This meant that only the ICWC Project Team knew about key issues without full recognition of the need to escalate issues to higher levels of authority within the DfT. A number of senior DfT officials absented themselves from committee meetings on the grounds that they had a conflict of interest the report suggests.
Bond Calculations' error
Interviewees also emphasised that anonymity concerns should not have hindered the flow of information in respect of the calculation of Subordinated Loan Facility (SLF) levels as this process was common to all bidders. This is the amount of cash to be put up as a bond by the winning bidder which was incorrectly calculated and triggered the investigation.
Dammingly, the report says that planning and preparation in respect of the WC franchise was inadequate and also failed to allocate time appropriately or incorporate sufficient flexibility in respect of the process timetable.
False economy and lack of clarity
The organisational structure at the DfT failed to set out roles, responsibilities and associated accountabilities clearly, and the resources of the organisation were excessively stretched due to the Government's spending review and the competing pressures of other projects.
Governance framework effectiveness was severely reduced by the lack of clarity in the functions, authorities and interrelationships of various committees and boards. Significant risk issues were identified in the WC franchise process but the quality and robustness of the WC procurement was overridden in the attempt to meet deadlines, despite the franchise already being extended once.
Nobody felt responsible for the ICWC franchise so there was a failure on the team to escalate and resolve problems. This resulted in the Rail Minister Theresa Villiers being wrongly advised by the DfT so she made the wrong decision as a result.
DfT Significant errors caused failure
The independent inquiry concluded that the project failed because of an accumulation of significant errors related to inadequate planning and preparation, complex organisational structure, and a weak governance framework. The Subordinated Loan Facility figures resulting from the flawed methodology were then varied in a way that contravened franchise competition rules.
Ministers made the original August 14 provisional contract award without being told about the critical flaws and having been given "inaccurate reports". The report also finds that there is no evidence of a culture of bias against Virgin at the DfT referring to the ABB (anyone but Brnason) whispers.
The Laidlaw Inquiry concluded that:
The report's recommendations to strengthen accountability and governance structures "if acted upon quickly and effectively, will help to restore confidence in the DfT's ability to conduct effective rail franchising and procurement".
There is nothing in the report to suggest that the flaws discovered in this franchise competition exist in any other DfT procurements.
The DfT said:
The DfT issued its formal response to the report which commits the department to implementing swiftly a series of actions that will enable it to resume the franchising programme, with the confidence of the rail industry, as soon as possible.
Ensuring future franchise competitions are delivered at a good pace based on sound planning, a clear timeline, rigorous management, and the right quality assurance.
Creating a simpler and clearer structure and governance process for rail franchise competitions, including the appointment of a single director general with responsibility for all rail policy and franchising.
Ensuring we have the right mix of professional skills, in-house, and where necessary from professional external advisers.
Report author Sam Laidlaw Said:
Building upon and confirming the conclusions from my initial findings, the final report provides an in-depth analysis of the events that led to the flaws whereby the InterCity West Coast competition was cancelled. Alongside this I have also made a series of recommendations for the future.
I have explained in detail the technical nature of certain errors, specifically around modelling flaws and the Subordinated Loan Facility sizing process. In addition, the report outlines an accumulation of contributory causes including a lack of transparency, inadequate planning and preparation, as well as a complex and confusing organisational structure with weak quality assurance and insufficient governance oversight.
While it is clear that a number of serious and regrettable errors have occurred, I believe that if acted upon quickly and effectively, my recommendations will help to restore confidence in the DfT's ability to conduct effective rail franchising and procurement.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said:
The final report from the Laidlaw inquiry makes extremely uncomfortable reading for the department. It has identified precisely what went wrong, revealing serious failures, as well as offering us a number of sensible recommendations to put things right.
We will not allow these mistakes to be made again and the department is determined to ensure all future franchise competitions are conducted on the basis of sound planning, the rigorous identification and oversight of risk, and the right quality assurance.
DfT Permanent Secretary Philip Rutnam said:
There is no question that this has been a serious blow for the department and I am determined that we learn everything we can from this episode. We will implement all of Mr Laidlaw's recommendations, and go further, to ensure we have the right set of skills, support and training to ensure failures like this do not happen again.
It will also take into account the forthcoming NAO report into the lessons from the cancellation of the InterCity West Coast franchise and the conclusions of Richard Brown's review of the future of the rail franchising programme, due to be submitted to the Secretary of State by the end of December.
Rail.co.uk will report on this final report when it is issued.

You are here: Home / Cath Dyer
Cath Dyer
Name: Cath Dyer
Occupation: Parent / full time carer of 2 disabled daughters. (Previous – bank clerk, piano teacher, teaching assistant in Welsh school)
Current Role: Ex Associate Director. Elected Board Member to 31 July 2021.
Why did you join the Trust Board: I joined the Trust in September 2011, following our move back from Mid Wales to Swansea, having been a Swans fan since 1981. I wanted to be involved, and help promote, contribute to, and be part of an organisation which has been so important to me and my family.
What attributes/skills are you able to bring to the Board?
I am a fluent Welsh speaker, and am confident in speaking with the media through English and Welsh. I also have a broad knowledge of all disabilities and keen to promote inclusion and equality, and understand how important it is that all supporters have the chance to fully enjoy their best match day experience. I am a very organised and friendly person, and always willing to help people wherever I can, and do my best at all times. . I have been actively involved in the Swans awards nights since 2012 and during the 2019/20 season, through the DSA, was involved with the new sensory room at the club and also the quiet hour at the club shop.
I attend the media press conferences where I am interviewed in Welsh. Being the Associate Director I have attended club board meetings in my capacity as an observer. I am in close contact through the Trust and DSA with many of the club staff.
How do you feel the Trust can further develop its representation of members and the wider fan base?
Raising the Trust profile is very important, and developing and maintaining positive working relationships within the club. Communicating and interacting with our members, young and old alike through community activities plus DSA events where disabled people come and meet with the players and fans alike in a smaller environment is so important as equality and inclusion are paramount in football.


Discussion in 'Property in Australasia' started by totallyproperty, Apr 9, 2014.
Despite the fact that many people see Australia and New Zealand as "neighbours" there is an enormous gap between the countries in terms of location and economic prosperity. However, there is no doubt that the New Zealand economy is well-positioned for the future, which prompts the question does New Zealand property offer better value than Australian real estate?
Australian real estate is actually cheaper than in New Zealand.
A report from May 2014 shows that all Commonwealth nations, including New Zealand and Australia, have the most expensive properties in the world.
According to this report, New Zealand comes 4th in the most expensive houses scale, just before Australia. Belgian houses seem to be the least affordable, while 2nd and 3rd position was Norway and Canada.
In terms of property price in general, New Zealand and Australia are almost the same. Prices also vary according to many factors. But I agree that New Zealand is booming. Let's see what happens few years from now.
1) In New Zealand, a non-resident can purchase property without restriction unless it is considered to be "sensitive land". Here sensitive land means land such as farmland and non-urban land greater than 5 hectares.
2) On other hand in New Zealand we have an advantage that stamp duty is not levied on the purchase of a property so we can save thousands of dollars.
3) On other hand, there are lots of hidden costs involved in Australia like additional fees, stamp duty and land transfer charges etc.
Conclusion: Property in New Zealand is cheaper than in Australia.
Properties in New Zealand offer better value for money.
I find this subject very interesting because many people automatically assume the New Zealand is the poor cousin of Australia. From what I read above this is not necessarily the case - however, the economy of Australia always seems to grab the headlines ahead of New Zealand.
Has anyone bought property in New Zealand? I would be interested to hear from you.
How about the rentals between Australia and New Zealand? any ideas?
I would also be interested to know the rental figures for Australia and New Zealand. I would assume that Australian rental yields are lower than their New Zealand counterparts but I may be wrong in this assumption. Again, like many people have suggested, viewing New Zealand as the poor cousin of Australia is a very easy trap to fall into one which is not necessarily correct!
It is obvious that there are better opportunities in the property market of New Zealand.
According to my knowledge, I think Australian real estate is more affordable than New Zealand.
Thats very interesting, I was always under the impression that Australian real estate was more expensive that New Zealand real estate. It appears that is not the case. Why is New Zealand so expensive?
Which property market offers the best value, Australia or New Zealand?


I went through my pant collection this week. I have gone through my closet several times over the past year. I am always surprised that I can get rid of more! I keep saying that minimalism is a process and that is proving to be true over and over again.
I moved all of my summer clothes downstairs into my summer storage. I know that I won't be needing my shorts or capri pants any time soon! It has been downright frosty in the mornings for the past few weeks.
I got rid of two pairs of stained sweatpants (so not flattering). I donated a pair of black leggings and a pair of black dress pants. I also put a pair of two pairs of pants into my maternity clothes box, as they fit well when I was expecting. I kept two pairs of yoga pants (perfect for going for walks), one pair of sweat pants (for movie nights on the couch and lazy Saturday mornings), one pair of grey leggings, one pair of black dress pants, and two pairs of jeans (only one pictured here).
I feel confident that I am only keeping the clothes that I wear. I have actually worn all of the pants I kept in the last ten days.
I left my Summer pants for now. I plan to go through them next year. I will try everything on and decide from there.

Amy Scott Galey doesn't have a lot of memories of her grandfather, Dr. Samuel Floyd Scott.
He died when she was only 5 years old.
But Alamance County residents have a lot of stories to share about the country doctor and founder of the Scott Clinic in Alamance County.
"People tell me all the time how my grandfather was their doctor. They'll pull up sleeves and tell me stories about how they got hurt and he sewed them up," she said in an interview on Tuesday morning at the Scott Family Collection in the Wallace W. Gee Building on the Alamance Community College campus.
Galey's grandfather, and the Scott family of doctors including her father, Dr. Sam Scott, are being honored during an exhibit, "Dr. Floyd Scott's Legacy — Scott Community Health Center & 100 Years of Rural Health Care (1919-2019)." The exhibit will be on display through August.
An opening reception will be at 3 p.m. Thursday at the Scott Family Collection. Admission is free and public is invited to attend. A Scott Community Health Celebration will take place at 10:30 a.m. April 12 at Scott Community Health Center, 5270 Union Ridge Rd., Burlington.
Dr. Floyd Scott, as he was known, worked as an Alamance County doctor from 1919 to 1972. During that time, he delivered 6,000 babies.
Wilbert "Sonny" Miles, of Union Ridge, said that his father, Calvin Miles, was the second baby Dr. Floyd Scott delivered in the Union Ridge community. If his father had lived, he would've turned 100 on Oct. 6 of this year. Calvin Miles died in 2005.
Calvin went on to work as a janitor in the Scott Clinic for a number of years and "they're just good people," Sonny Miles said. "They're family friends."
Dr. Floyd Scott was the seventh child of Robert Walter Scott and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hughes Scott. It was when his baby brother, Howard, got too close to the fireplace and ultimately died from his injuries, that Floyd decided to become a doctor to "help such people as my brother when they are hurt."
He studied at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, first, before traveling to Philadelphia and earning his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
Before returning to North Carolina, he completed a one-year internship at St. Timothy's hospital in Philadelphia, where he treated patients during the flu epidemic of 1918-19.
When he first came to the Union Ridge Community in 1919, Dr. Floyd Scott only had $3 in his pocket, which he spent on new shirts, according to Peggy Boswell, curator of the Scott Family Collection.
He lived with a local family, Charles and Lessie Lee Aldridge, and started his practice, with their help.
Frances Aldridge Guilliam, daughter of Charles and Lessie Aldridge, shared this story about Dr. Floyd Scott with Peggy Boswell.
"One of the stories I remember about him, was in the winter time. It was extremely cold and I was still quite young. And we had a sleeping porch, and we were sleeping out in the sleeping porch and my mother was so worried about Doctor because he hadn't come in, and she knew he was overdue. Well, that horse got excited in the storm and went down the creek, and he lost him. And he had boots on. But finally, he got the horse and he came home and I can hear him around that sleeping porch even now with water in his boots. That's the kind of life he lived."
Dr. Sam Scott, a retired doctor and the youngest child of Floyd and Frances Scott, talked about how his father often had to barter with farmers for payment of services.
"I can remember him being paid in smoked hams or cows or pigs," Dr. Sam Scott said in an interview on Tuesday.
And then, there was the time Dr. Floyd Scott was paid with a gun, that it turns out, was stolen from the Danville Police Department.
The revolver, a Police Positive Special 32-20 WCF, was traded for medical services. The firing pin has been removed so that it can be part of the display.
Dr. Sam Scott, using a magnifying glass, studied the gun.
"If they had a special trade, they would trade that to pay my father for medical services. And we lived in a tobacco-growing community, so they would only have money when the tobacco sold, so Daddy would get paid when they could do it," Dr. Sam Scott said.
He recalled how his father would work seven days a week, and never took a real vacation until his sons, Peter "Pete" (also a doctor) and Lud (a dentist), were grown.
"And he didn't want to take a vacation then," he said.
From 1919 to 1948, patients were cared for at an in-home clinic. In 1949, a clinic was constructed next to their home.
"It took up space that used to be my mother's garden," Dr. Sam Scott said. "She wasn't happy about that."
Even after the clinic was constructed, Dr. Floyd Scott continued to make house calls. Photos of his visits, in 1956, are documented in the exhibit.
The development of technology in the medical field is something the exhibit also documents. A two-way radio, the first of its kind in North Carolina, was used at the Scott Clinic. A photo shows former nurse Nancy Kistler, using the radio to communicate with Dr. Floyd Scott.
Being a doctor, Dr. Sam Scott, just seemed like the natural thing to do for a career.
His oldest brother, Dr. Peter "Pete" Scott was a doctor and Dr. Ludwig "Lud" Gaston Scott was a dentist). Both Dr. Peter Scott and Dr. Lud Scott are now deceased. He also has a sister, Ora Lee Scott Brady, of Harrisburg.
Dr. Sam Scott and his wife, Connie, a former nurse, live in the Union Ridge community. Their son, Edwin Scott, is a doctor in Georgia.
Dr. Sam Scott, Amy Galey Scott and Sonny Miles, along with Nancy Kistler, hope to be at the opening of the exhibit.
A Power Point presentation, depicting the history of what is now known as the Scott Community Health Center, also will be on display.
"It's amazing to me how technology has changed and how the relationship between medical professionals and patients have changed during this time," Galey said.
Dr. Sam Scott injerected — "to survive 100 years, it had to change."
