What a little load of rubbish!
This year's Riverside festival attracted 8000 visitors over the weekend - astonishing considering the less than ideal weather. What is even more astonishing is that after the recycling efforts of the Riverside volunteers, those 8000 people generated just four bags of rubbish.
At a media briefing in Witney today, Thames Valley Police announced that the Charlbury police office in the Spendlove Centre will close permanently in April. Full report from the Oxford Mail.
Church Bells Ringing to celebrate Royal Arrival!
The Bells of St Mary's will be rung at 6pm today, Tuesday 22 July, to celebrate the birth of a son to William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The launch on Saturday 20th July at the Memorial hall of the Community Led Plan (CLP) for Charlbury consultation was a great success with around 120 people attending to give their views, discuss ideas, issues and initiatives. As well as the CLP display, visitors also had the chance to review projects currently underway in Charlbury. These were The Beacon Project, Southill Solar, Charlbury Community Centre and Walkers are Welcome, with great interest shown in all of them.
We have received almost 100 postcards through the website and collection boxes telling us what you like about Charlbury and what may be needed in the next 5 to 15 years.
Our initial analysis of the postcards posted in our collection boxes will probably not surprise many people. the key issues were keeping town centre shops, providing more affordable housing(social or other), building the proposed Community Centre, the future use of the Corner House, traffic calming & parking. There were many other issues noted, but these were the most frequent concerns raised. We'll be collating all the information from the launch event to add to this over the coming weeks, as well as planning further events around the town, including a stall at the Street Fair. If you haven't commented yet, go to the CLP webpage on this site where you can still post your comments on line.
We are also collecting questionnaires from organisations in the town about the future of all facilties, such as the Memorial Hall & Corner House, so if you have one of these but haven't returned it. please send it in soon.
Thank you to all those who took the time to complete and return the postcards and to attend the event. Look out for advertised events on the website and the notice boards.
To all those who have their tickets ready and waiting for the wonderful Wilderness Festival - please remember that ALL children (age 0-10) need a ticket to gain entry to the festival grounds.
Children between 0 - 10 are free but if they don't have a ticket, they will not be granted entry.
Please contact me if you have any concerns regarding children's tickets for the festival.
Thanks to the benevolence of The Priory, we are again able to organise a display of classic and vintage cars on Street Fair Day which is Saturday 21st Sept.
Charlbury has been awarded Walkers Are Welcome accreditation - the first town in Oxfordshire and the Eastern Cotswolds to do so.
Walkers are Welcome is a nationwide initiative, launched in 2007, to encourage towns and villages to be 'welcoming to walkers'. The 100 WaW towns include places such as Abergavenny, Hay on Wye, Hebden Bridge, Church Stretton, Stroud and Chesham.
By attracting more walkers to the town, Charlbury's WaW group hopes to make it a busier, more successful place. Walkers will bring custom to the pubs and cafés, so they sell more and can open for longer hours. Walkers need B&Bs and other accommodation - an ideal part-time business opportunity for Charlbury people. Walkers will help to fill off-peak trains, making the case for an hourly service through the day.
Future activities will include a launch event with guided walks, pencilled in for the end of August; waymarking recommended routes around the local area; and increased publicity on the web and in print. If you'd like to be involved, contact Tony Merry (Anthony.Merry@manchester.ac.uk, 811022) or Richard Fairhurst (richard@systemeD.net, 810117).
We have already received our first grant application for 2013-14, and we look forward to receiving many more over the coming 12 months. Plans are already under way for the 2014 event, under the chairmanship of Nick Millea - see the CBF's new website for full details.
In your community there is a full time firefighter based at the Fire Station during the working week. Deb Lamb has been based at Charlbury since January this year and she would like you to pop in and say hello, in return she can give you some valuable safety advice, talk about smoke alarm ownership, and if you like have a look around your community's fire engine.
If anyone is interested in finding out more about the rewarding and exciting opportunities a job as a retained firefighter can offer, then please call in and talk it through with Deb.
Can you help Charlbury Primary After-School Club?
Includes a guest appearance by our webmaster and organist Richard !
You may have seen boards around Charlbury indicating "BD loc" or "BD tech". These are markers for the BBC Birmingham Drama department to indicate to cast and crew where one of the locations for the new Father Brown series is being filmed. The location is Cornbury Park.
Mary and I hosted several of the filmings last summer at Blockley Vicarage and Church (I retired from Blockley last October and moved to Charlbury). It has been good to meet up again with cast members: Mark Williams (Father Brown - who also played Mr. Weasley in Harry Potter films); Nancy Carroll (Lady Felicia); Sorcha Cusack (Mrs. McCarthy); and Alex Price who was in the 'Merlin' series.
You can now read more about the initiative to create a Community-Led Plan for Charlbury on a new community page on this website.
The project, which is in its early stages, aims to draw together the views and aspirations of the people of Charlbury to create a vision and action plan for the town. Survey cards have been delivered to every address in the town; the short survey can also be filled in on the community page.
There will be a launch event on Saturday 20th July from 9am to 2pm. Please come along for refreshments and share your views on how we can shape the future of the town together.
The Oxford Mail today ran a detailed obituary of Alan Hanks, former chairman of the Community Centre Appeal: click here to read it.

Леоні́д Микола́йович Андреєв  (*, Орел, Російська імперія — †12 вересня 1919) — російський письменник, драматург. Родоначальник російського експресіонізму. Батько письменника, автора філософської книги «Роза світу», Данила Андреєва.

Біографія
Батько письменника — землемір-таксатор Микола Іванович. Мати — Анастасія Миколаївна. Спільне життя Андреєвих складалося важко. Тільки з народженням сина Микола Іванович отримав посаду у банку. Миколу Івановича поважали за фізичну силу та почуття справедливості. Від нього Леонід Миколайович успадкував твердий характер. А від матері — свої творчі здібності. Анастасія Миколаївна дуже любила своїх дітей (в сім'ї їх було шестеро) і присвятила їм своє життя.

З дитинства Леонід Миколайович полюбляв театр і читав багато книжок.

Із 1882 року навчався в Орловській класичній гімназії. Не надто завзято ставився до навчання, проте старанно займався самоосвітою.

У 1889 році помирає батько Андреєва. Для родини знову настають важкі часи. Леонід Миколайович, як старший син, повинен забезпечувати сім'ю. Тому дає багато приватних уроків, виконує іншу роботу.

У 1891-му вступив на юридичний факультет Петербурзького університету. Але був відрахований через неможливість оплачувати навчання. Продовжив здобуття освіти в Московському університеті. Згодом у Москву до сина переїхали і мати Леоніда Миколайовича з дітьми. Успішно склав державний іспит, зайнявся юридичною практикою, проте швидко втратив цікавість до своєї професії.

Дебют Андреєва-прозаїка відбувся на сторінках «Кур'єра» у 1898 році, де була опублікована його розповідь «Баргамот і Гараська». У цей час Андреєв знайомиться із М. Горьким. Між ними зав'язується міцна дружба. Своїми вчителями Андреєв вважав Фрідріха Ніцше та Льва Толстого.
Навесні 1900 року Горький вводить Андреєва в гурток московських письменників-демократів (рос. «Среда»). Андреєв уважно прислухався до критики на свої твори.

Цей період — творчий підйом Леоніда Миколайовича. Знайомиться із Олександрою Михайлівною Велігорською — внучатою племінницею Т. Г. Шевченка, яка стала надійною помічницею в усіх справах письменника.
У 1901 році у видавництві «Знання» виходить друком перший том «Розповідей» Андреєва, що перевидавався кілька разів та розійшовся тиражем понад 50 тис. примірників.

Перша п'єса Андреєва виходить у революційний 1905 рік («До зірок»), де відображається щира захопленість автора ідеями боротьби за свободу та сміливість людини.

У лютому 1905 року Андреєв переховував у себе вдома членів РСДРП, 9 лютого до нього на квартиру прибув для прийняття участі в з'їзді районних представників член Центрального Комітету РСДРП — Повар (Щеколдін Ф. І.), де був заарештований з Андреєвим. 10 лютого були посаджені в Таганську в'язницю за те, що напередодні на його квартирі пройшло таємне зібрання ЦК. Разом вони були випущені під заставу внесену Савою Морозовим. Після чого С. Морозов терміново покинув Росію, і в Каннах, в готельному номері 13 травня 1905 був знайдений мертвим з простреленими грудьми. Також Андреєв брав участь у демонстраціях, мітингах, з'їздах. Проте сам письменник визнавав, що він не є справжнім революційним борцем, тому що він, як був поза будь-якими партіями, так і залишився. Його революційність проявлялася лише в сфері думки.
У 1906 році помирає дружина письменника. Він намагається опанувати себе на острові Капрі, де відбувається розрив дружніх відносин із М. Горьким.

У 1908 році Андреєв оженився з Ганною Денисевич (вінчання відбулося 20 квітня в Ялті). Улітку вони переїхали в маленький новий будиночок у фінському селі Ваммельсуу.

Звістку про початок Першої світової війни сприйняв із запалом, сподіваннями на краще життя. Також Андреєв вважав, що світова війна — гарний стимул для розвитку літератури.
У 1916 році Леонід Миколайович очолив літературно-художній та критичний відділи нової петроградської газети «Російська воля».
Також привітно ставився до Лютневої революції. Але згодом зрозумів, що його надії не будуть утілені в життя. Називав більшовиків безумцями, що погублять Росію.

Письменник переїхав на свою дачу у Фінляндії. Хотів подорожувати Америкою та Європою. Проте цим задумам не судилося здійснитись. 12 вересня 1919 року Андреєв помер від параліча серця на дачі свого друга — лікаря та літератора Ф. Н. Фальковського

FIU students beat the market, take on NYC.
Undergraduate School May 14, 2012November 13, 2017 Ellen Forman
They took New York by storm. Their investment strategy beat the S&P 500. And they helped pioneer an important new financial education program for high school students.
For Juan Alfonso, Alex Chediak, Ignacio Chavarria, Justin Garcia, Lauren Gonzalez and Charles Stack—students in Florida International University's (FIU) Student Managed Investment Fund—it was a banner spring.
"Students running our investment fund are the cream of the crop," said Helen Simon, the College of Business Administration faculty member who teaches the investment fund class. "They served as excellent representatives of FIU's finance program in the nation's financial capital."
FIU was one of a select few schools chosen to present its investment portfolio at the Quinnipiac G.A.M.E. conference, a prestigious national investment competition and educational conference for college students that took place March 29-31 in New York City.
Justin Garcia, Charles Stack, Juan Alfonso, Lauren Gonzalez, Ignacio Chavarria and Alex Chediak at the Quinnipiac G.A.M.E. conference in New York City
Simon praised the students' investment decisions.
"Not only did we beat the return of the S&P 500 over the last four years, but we also did so with a lower degree of risk," she said.
On the same trip, the six student sector managers for the FIU fund toured the New York Stock Exchange. They got an up-close look at the trading floor, and an opportunity to speak directly to specialists and traders at work in the heart of the nation's financial engine. In addition, they had the opportunity to tour the offices of Bloomberg, and got a taste for life on Wall Street, where several of them plan to pursue careers.
Students gain from experiences in investing and coaching.
At FIU, these students also served as informal coaches to a group of students from Northwestern Senior High School, who learned the ins-and-outs of managing their own investment fund in an FIU program called the Education Effect.
The trip capped off another successful year for FIU's fund, which began with a $200,000 investment and has shown remarkable success in challenging financial times.
"The fund is a great real-world experience, an opportunity to apply academics to the working world, where decisions are made every day," said Lauren Gonzalez (BBA '12), who managed investments in the financial sector. "At the conference, we were able to see what other funds were doing, so we have some new ideas for the FIU fund next year's students will manage."

MOSCOW, February 7 (RAPSI) – The Moscow City Court on Thursday upheld a lower court's decision to place Russia's Federation Council member representing Karachay-Cherkess Republic Rauf Arashukov, who stands charged with murder, in detention until March 30, the court's press service told RAPSI.
Moreover, he is accused of gang organization and witness tampering.
On January 30, Moscow's Basmanny District Court denied a 10-million-ruble (over $150,000) bail to Arashukov and placed him in detention for two months.
Investigators claim that the member of parliament's upper house was involved in the murder of a Karachay-Cherkessia public youth movement's deputy chairman Aslan Zhukov and the republican president's advisor Fral Shebzukhov in 2010.
Moreover, investigators believe that Arashukov is implicated to natural gas embezzlement from Gazprom company.
The senator pleads not guilty.
Arashukov was arrested in the Federation Council on January 30. The upper house of parliament stripped Arashukov of his immunity and gave consent to his prosecution upon an application by the Prosecutor General.
14:59 07/02/2019 The Moscow City Court on Thursday upheld a lower court's decision to place Russia's Federation Council member representing Karachay-Cherkess Republic Rauf Arashukov, who stands charged with murder, in detention until March 30.

Pupils perform alongside Tenebrae
Downside pupils were thrilled to have the opportunity to sing alongside the world-famous chamber choir, Tenebrae, on Sunday.
Under the direction of internationally acclaimed conductor, Nigel Short, the pupils pushed themselves to a new level of performance having earlier enjoyed a rehearsal with the renowned singers. The late-autumnal setting of the Abbey Church was made particularly magical, with performers singing in different candlelit spaces around the church.
The programme featured a range of pieces for chamber choir including works by Bax, Byrd, Bruckner and Palestrina. Described as "phenomenal" (Times) and "devastatingly beautiful" (Gramophone), award-winning choir Tenebrae is one of the world's leading vocal ensembles renowned for its passion and precision. The parents, parishioners and friends who had attended the event were absolutely delighted to hear this renowned ensemble in the rich acoustic of Downside Abbey Church.

After parking our cars at the Illawong Lodge trackhead we headed south down to Farm Creek. We crossed the creek using the bridge which was built in 1979 to replace the 'flying-fox' which was built in 1961 by the Illawong Ski Tourers to primarily assist members and guests to reach the lodge.
The 'flying-fox' is still in place, next to the bridge, and is listed on the Register of the National Trust of Australia (NSW) and on the NPWS Historic Places register.
It is a 2.5 kilometre walk along a well defined track to Illawong Lodge with views back towards Guthega Dam, south along the valley and up to Mt Anderson, Mt Anton and Mt Twynam.
Whilst Jan remained at the Lodge, to enjoy a swim in the Snowy River and the hospitality of the Illawong Ski Tourers, 6 of us headed up to Mt Twynam.
It is only a 100 metres to the suspension bridge across the Snowy River, built in 1971 by the Illawong Ski Tourers and is the third bridge across the Snowy River to be built on or near the present day bridge. One by one we crossed the bridge, being careful not to walk too fast so the bridge did not get too much of a sway up.
From the suspension bridge we followed the well worn track as it wandered up and across Alpine fields amassed with many varieties of wildflowers, some in full bloom. At 1800 metres we reached an arc of trees that stand by themselves in the Alpine fields. From there 5 Geehi's continued up whilst I headed back down. Led by John and Claire the group followed the trail and headed towards Little Twynam and then up to Mt Twynam reaching the summit before 14:00 hours for views of the main range, south to Victoria and north towards Jagungal.
Watching from Illawong Lodge lounge area we caught glimpses of the group as they descended and reached the arc of trees. From there it did not take them long to reach the Lodge.
Even though Illawong Lodge is small it is well equipped and maintained by the Illawong Ski Tourers. It sleeps 8 and has a lounge area that gives great views to the main range and to the north up the valley.

Good Music For Good People
AboutDstinctiv Group2020-10-14T15:20:11+00:00
INTRODUCING THE ARTIST
As a little kid in Albania, Jon Tarifa wanted one thing: to be a professional football player. He had no teddy bears in his bed, but a soccer ball instead. Fortunately, he had a Plan B, to become a music artist. He looked admiringly at his cousin, Eneda Tarifa, who was serenading the entire family with her mini performances when she was six years old. Jon also wanted to do that someday.
Due to injuries, his football career ended rather quickly so he switched to Plan B. At that time, his father was a diplomat and his family first moved from Albania to the United States of America, and later to the Netherlands. Jon Tarifa arrived in The Hague with a head full of music.
He was quick to join a popular Dutch band; Nuclear Family. Jon loved that old-fashioned boom bap 'hip hop sound; DJ, samples and raps, which reminded him of his upbringing in the United States. In 2006, after having spent a few good years in NuClear Family, releasing an album and touring the country, they parted ways on good terms. In 2008, Jon joined another band, L4 (Looking 4ward) and two years later their debut album "Counting Coins" was number 1 on the Dutch Alternative charts for three weeks in a row. That same year, L4 went on tour in the United States, performing in New York and Washington DC.
That was not enough to keep Jon satisfied. He wanted to expand his art and head towards a new musical direction, a more organic one. In 2011, Jon decided to start a solo musical career and write his own songs with a feel-good island vibe. He put together a group of talented musicians to form his own live band with members from Germany, Suriname, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and of course Albania.
An international band requires an international approach: In August 2011, Jon Tarifa launched his debut single "So Right" in four countries simultaneously and that same month he performed at the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival. In 2013, Jon released his debut album "Free to Be" which included the number 1 hit on FunX Radio "Focus" and "Next to Me" which was the song of the week on Radio 6 in The Netherlands. Not only did Jon tour through the country to promote his album, but he also performed at Eurosonic Noorderslag in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and has rocked the stage 8 times at Parkpop Festival (biggest free European festival), among many other festivals.
In October 2016, Jon Tarifa became world news with his single "Don't Go". The song was used in a tribute video for the former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Don't Go which went viral on internet and even reached the likes of CNN India and The New York Times, to only name a few. The video was also shared by both of President Obama's daughters on social media. As a result, Jon was invited to perform the song on various TV programs in the Netherlands, such as the popular RTL Late Night and Hart van Nederland, among others. In the meantime, the video has reached over 57 million views and over 2 million Spotify streams. In the summer of 2017, "Don't Go" was re-launched with an official (animated) video clip by Universal Music in the United States.

Trading blows turn treaties into toast—why trade deals are in trouble
A protest in London against Ttip in 2014 (Pic: Global Justice Now/Flickr)
One of the main drivers of neoliberalism has been the removal of barriers to international trade. It is now in serious trouble.
The establishment of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 1995 was meant to unleash a wave of trade liberalisation. But even though the WTO has greater powers than its predecessor, the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs, it has been much less successful.
The Doha round of trade talks, launched in November 2001 with great fanfare as part of Western capitalism's riposte to the 9-11 attacks, went nowhere. Its failure reflected the relative decline in the economic power of the US and Europe.
The so-called Brics—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—had become too strong for the US and the European Union (EU) to ride roughshod over them. A global agreement that would satisfy everyone proved impossible.
But the neoliberal politicians and bureaucrats and their corporate allies didn't give up. Eventually they came up with two huge regional deals—the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) for the Asia-Pacific region and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (Ttip) covering the US and the EU.
The US was the common factor to both. But Barack Obama was always more interested in the TPP. This deal includes 12 Asia-Pacific states, but not China.
You might think this strange, since China is the biggest Asian economy and the world's largest producer and exporter of goods. But excluding China was the whole point of the deal, which is about geopolitics more than economics.
Obama gave the game away when he said, "If we don't pass this agreement—if America doesn't write those rules—then countries like China will." In other words, TPP is about entrenching US hegemony in Asia. It's also probably toast.
Ttip was already in trouble before the EU referendum, but Brexit will remove one of the strongest supporters of trade liberalisation in the EU
Even though the TPP was signed last February, Hillary Clinton, under pressure from Donald Trump's campaign against international trade deals, has reversed her initial support for the deal. Whoever makes it to the White House, the TPP is very unlikely to be ratified by the US.
Ttip was always more pushed by the EU than by the US, as a way of re-launching the European economy after the eurozone crisis. It was already in trouble before the British referendum, but Brexit will remove one of the strongest supporters of trade liberalisation in the EU.
The recent mess over the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) between the EU and Canada underlines the difficulties Ttip faces. Negotiated over five years, the deal almost collapsed after the parliament of Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, blocked it.
A last-minute compromise allowed Ceta to be signed off at the weekend. Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, tweeted, "Ceta is as of today the new golden standard in trade agreements."
Even by Juncker's standards, this is an unusually stupid statement. Ceta isn't out of the woods yet.
What the Walloon parliament objected to was the part investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism that would let transnational corporations sue signatory states that they claim have damaged their economic interests.
Under the compromise that saved Ceta, Belgium and Wallonia have only allowed the treaty to be implemented in part and reserve their opposition to ISDS.
ISDS is also included in TPP and Ttip. It is controversial because it gives corporations power over elected governments. The Ttip version has been a big factor in arousing opposition to the US-EU deal in Germany.
Meanwhile, the growth in international trade has slowed sharply.
Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf pointed out, "Between 1960 and 2015, world trade increased at an average rate of 6.6 percent, in real terms, while output grew at an average rate of 3.5 percent. Between 2008 and 2015, however, average annual growth of world trade was 3.4 percent in real terms, while world output grew at 2.4 percent."
None of this means that neoliberalism is finished. But the economic stagnation of global capitalism since the crash of 2007-8 has weakened it badly.

Q: How to access file /data/data from android emulator from Genymotion? I love using Genymotion emulator with such brilliant speed to load Android. It has very wonderful speed but still have some instability performance.
How I can access file in /data/data/ in Genymotion emulator from file explorer in Eclipse? I know that in this device has also installed Superuser permission so I can use this application in root condition. But how I can access this from file explorer?
I know such operation using adb-shell and then basic terminal command also. I have successfully with this method but I want access this through file explorer from eclipse so I can easily pull from emulator.

A: As of now the only way to access data/data folder on the GenyMotion emulator is by using adb shell commands.
Since the emulator is running inside Oracle VirtualBox, direct access to the storage is a security issue and therefore you wont be able to find it through explorer or eclipse.
The VM saves the storage in .vmdk file format. Which is a virtual machine disk format. The data/data folder is somewhere deep inside that file.

Economic development planning to focus on community image
By The Business Times Staff on October 6, 2011 Comments Off on Economic development planning to focus on community image
Share on Facebook Follow on Facebook Connect on Linked in Subscribe by Email Print This Post
Work on an economic development plan for Mesa County proceeds with another brainstorming session, this time to come up with ideas for developing a community image.
The two-hour session is set for 7:30 a.m. Oct. 27 at Two Rivers Convention Center, 159 Main St. in downtown Grand Junction.
Developing and promoting a community image is one of three major goals for the new economic development plan. Efforts to establish Mesa County as an epicenter for energy research and supporting the growth of existing businesses also constitute major goals for the plan.
A group of more than 20 organizations and government entities involved in economic development in the county has been working since the beginning of the year to develop the plan as part of a grass roots initiative by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. The county plan has been integrated into regional and state economic development plans.
A series of brainstorming sessions have been conducted to involve the public in developing the plan. A February session helped set broad goals for the plan, while sessions in June and August focused on ways in which to achieve those goals.
A new energy center and efforts to promote research into traditional and renewable energy technologies were among the most popular ideas to come out of the June session. The establishment of a western center for energy independence was the top choice, followed by efforts to promote energy research at Colorado Mesa University.
The continuation of a program to interview business owners to identify and help them overcome barriers to growth ranked among the most popular ideas to come out of the August session. Other ideas included the creation of a business accelerator program as well as a team of "first responders" to work with businesses considering relocating their operations.
In preparation for the upcoming session on developing a community image, an online survey has been distributed seeking comments and ideas that will guide the discussion at the session.
The 10-question survey asks participants to rate the visual character of Mesa County and Grand Junction, describe the appealing and unappealing visual features in the Grand Valley and describe the image of the Grand Valley and Grand Junction. The survey also asks participants which entry corridors into the Grand Valley need the most work or attention and to offer ideas for elevating the community profile.

Nevada Casino Workers Fight an Uphill Battle to Get – and Keep – Their Unions
Michael Sainato
Since UNITE HERE began union-organizing drives at Station Casinos in 2011, workers have successfully voted to form a union at six of the company's properties in Nevada. But management is challenging them in court.
Michael Wagner has worked as a bartender at the Green Valley Ranch Casino Resort in Henderson, Nevada since it first opened in December 2001. Wagner and other workers at the casino voted to form a union in November 2017, with 78% of the vote, after years of facing union busting, intimidation, and retaliation against those participating in union organizing.
It has been a long struggle. But it is still not over. The billionaire Trump allies who own the casino – and others like it – have embarked on a campaign of stalling recognition, delaying contract negotiations and intimidation and poor working conditions, casino workers say.
Since UNITE HERE Culinary Workers Union 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 began union-organizing drives at Station Casinos in 2011, workers have successfully voted to form a union at six of the company's properties in Nevada.
But, despite winning six union elections, the anti-union opposition from the third largest private employer in the Las Vegas area, Station Casinos, continues through legal appeals, none of which have been successful, and stalled contract negotiations.
Station Casinos executives and spokespersons have repeatedly affirmed they would respect union election results. In 2016, Station Casinos president Richard Haskins told the Las Vegas Review: "We have said all along that if a fair and lawful election is held we will abide by the results."
According to the Culinary Union, Station Casinos is still appealing union elections at its Green Valley Ranch, Palms, and Sunset properties, while a union contract has yet to be negotiated at three other properties that have voted to unionize. The union represents nearly 4,000 workers at all six properties. Meanwhile, dozens of unfair labor practice charges filed by workers against Station Casinos remain under review by the National Labor Relations Board.
The company is owned by billionaires Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta. The Fertittas have donated$2m to Trump's America's First Action PAC, over $1.5m to Trump's Victory Fund, and more than $3m to the Republican National Committee and other Republican candidates since Trump's election.
Several casino workers have alleged wrongful terminations for engaging in union activity at Station Casino properties, and current workers report that the company continues to fire workers without just cause as Nevada is an employment "at will" state, which grants employers the right to terminate employment at anytime for any reason.
"The management hasn't recognized the union because they do whatever they want to workers and with the union, they won't be able to do that anymore," said Paola Felix, a guest room attendant at Green Valley Ranch Resort. "Without a union contract to protect you, you don't get a chance to defend yourself, they just terminate you for no reason."
When the first Station Casinos property voted to unionize in September 2016, company management sent out memos to all its employees that health benefits would be increased for all employees except those who had unionized. As part of an NLRB settlement in March 2017, Station Casinos agreed to recognize the union at Palace Station Casino and reimburse the workers at Boulder Station for lower healthcare premiums they were denied.
"They've filed legal challenge after legal challenge," said Gunaydin Milli, a uniform room attendant at Palms Resort & Casino since 2008, where around 900 workers voted to unionize in April 2018. In May 2019, the NLRB ruled the resort was violating federal labor law by refusing to bargain with the union, but a union contract has still yet to be negotiated as Station Casinos is appealing the ruling in federal court.
"They've refused to negotiate with us and they're breaking the law. The hard work we do everyday makes the company successful. We deserve to have something to show for it too," said Milli.
The most recent union elections occurred at Station Casinos' Sunset Hotel & Casino, with 83% voting in favor of the union, and Fiesta Rancho Hotel & Casino, with 85% voting for the union.
Casino workers have held numerous protests and rallies calling on Station Casinos to negotiate with the unions and to cease union busting at properties where union organizing drives are ongoing.
"The company has been fighting these workers for a long time," said Geoconda Argüello-Kline, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226. "What the company has been doing is sending a message to workers they do not respect the democratic way these workers voted 'yes' to be represented by the Culinary Union."
2020 Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro has recently called on Station Casinos to negotiate with the six unions. Senator Bernie Sanders has also publicly called on the Trump-supporting casino owners to negotiate.
The struggle is expected to gain more attention as Democratic presidential candidates compete for support from the Culinary Union ahead of the Nevada Democratic Caucuses in February 2020.
A spokesperson for Red Rock Resorts, the parent company of Station Casinos, Michael Britt told the Guardian in an email: "With respect to both Palms and Green Valley Ranch, although the union would clearly prefer that we not exercise our legal right to challenge the National Labor Review Board's (NLRB) decisions regarding those properties in the United States federal courts – we have every right to do so and our challenges are both legal and appropriate."
They declined to clarify the reasons behind those challenges.
In Red Rock Resort's most recent annual report, the company claimed, "Union organization activities could disrupt our business by discouraging patrons from visiting our properties, causing labor disputes or work stoppages, and, if successful, could significantly increase our labor costs."

In the beginning Tony Mommone ventured into the motorcycle business in 2003 after graduating Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. He starting working for the local dealer and shortly after was fired, which was the best thing that could have happened. He printed some business cards off the internet and started his first company "Custom Street & Dirt" in June of 2004 in a 30x30 free standing building located on his Dad's property in Loxahatchee, Florida. The company was only dedicated to service, parts and custom work for all types of bikes at the time.
After a successful 2 years, Custom Street & Dirt moved to its first retail location on North Florida Mango located in West Palm Beach. Two years later after growing out of that shop, Tony moved Custom Street & Dirt to 25th St. in downtown West Palm Beach.
For the next 3 years Custom Street & Dirt grew and was gaining more valuable experience in the industry. At the end of 2010 Tony purchased Powersports of Palm Beach in Lake Park, which was started by a competitor in 2009. Tony took over Powersports the beginning of January 2011. With two busy shops as well as having a new born baby, Tony decided to merge the two shops together into one with the name Powersports of Palm Beach. The location in Lake Park was expanding and growing and started gaining momentum. With the use his life savings, Tony decided to take the biggest risk of his career in the spring of 2014 by moving to a much larger facility when property became available at 1422 10th St. in Lake Park.
With a solid foundation and growth, Tony decided in 2016 to get into pre-owned motorcycle sales taking Powersports in a new direction. In the first year of pre-owned sales the shop grew 300% without much experience. The following two years pre-owned sales grew 150%. This growth is owed to the relationships, friends and mentors of Tony Mommone and his amazing staff.
Stay tuned for what's coming next from the Powersports team!

Record-hunter Shiffrin blows away rivals to win Kronplatz giant slalom
Mikaela Shiffrin now has 84 wins on the alpine skiing World Cup circuit
Plan de Corones (Italy) (AFP) - Mikaela Shiffrin continued her bid to become the most successful alpine World Cup skier of all-time after winning Wednesday's giant slalom in Kronplatz.
A day after breaking the women's record for most wins on the elite circuit, Shiffrin took her tally of victories to 84 with a combined time of 2 minutes 3.28 seconds.
The American star had been over half a second ahead of the pack after her first run on Wednesday morning and made no mistake in the afternoon sunshine, finishing 0.82sec ahead of Ragnhild Mowinckel.
The Swede Sara Hector was third, 1.19sec behind the American.
"I was pushing so hard, and I just hoped that I ended up on the right side of the gates. Now I'm a bit dead," said Shiffrin.
"I'm so tired, but when you ski like that it keeps your energy going. It's just an incredible feeling."
Triumph in the Italian Dolomites moved Shiffrin to within two of the overall wins record of 86 held by Ingemar Stenmark, who dominated the men's slalom and giant slalom disciplines for a decade from 1975 before retiring in 1989.
Shiffrin could very well move level with the Swedish icon before next month's World Championships in Courchevel and Meribel as this weekend come two races at Spindleruv Mlyn in her favoured slalom – the discipline in which she has claimed 51 victories.
She also pulled further away in both the giant slalom and overall standings, leaving Lara Gut-Behrami, who finished fifth on Wednesday, trailing by 118 and 611 points in the respective rankings.

Buckle Down and Read 'Bud Not Buddy'
LifestyleEntertainment
"Bud, Not Buddy" Book Cover Photo: Penguin Random House.
Author Christopher Paul Curtis Photo/ HFA Kids
By: Victor Mays, Reporter
"Bud not Buddy" is the story of an orphan who tries to find his real father from clues that he believes his deceased mother left for him in an old suitcase.
The story tackles race, child abuse and abandonment issues. Christoper Paul Curtis, the author of the books makes it acceptable for a young audience.
Curtis wrote other very successful books for kids that center around similar topics such as race. One such book is "The Watsons Go To Birmingham" which won the John Newbery Medal and the Golden Kite Award for fiction.
Bud is an African American kid during the great depression who journeys from Flint to Grand Rapids, Michigan. He often struggles to find a place to rest his head at night and struggles to figure out where his next meal might come from.
He meets and makes friends along the way. Friends like Bugs who is a fellow orphan that escapes from foster homes almost as often as Bud does. He also meets Deza Malone who was a brief romantic interest that gave Bud his first kiss and his reluctant friendship with Lefty Lewis.
Lewis was a kind man who finds Bud on the street and tries to help him. He gave bud a place to stay and food to eat. He even helped him find his forever home.
Not all the characters are nice either. Mr. and Ms. Amos abused the boy at his temporary foster home and let their son physically beat Bud. While that plot point might not seem suitable for kids, it is still suitable for teenagers. The scenes are a little too descriptive in the words they use for children.
Bud meets a man named Herman E. Callo- way who is a famous lead musician for a band in Grand Rapids Michigan. He joins this ragtag group of musicians and more antics and adventures happen from there.
This story was my favorite book as a child. As a young black kid growing up in Maryland, this was my first introduction to racism. I also related to the fact that he was an adopted kid. This book touched on many tough topics and subjects.
There was the subject of loss and death. Bud had to come to terms with losing his mother. He also had to come to terms with being in an abusive foster home and then eventually homelessness as a black kid in the great depression. They even touched on absentee fathers and family trauma.
Bud's longing to find a place to belong in the world and to find his family is such a relatable struggle to anyone. The story makes Bud a likable character. He is very naive, especially when he thought Lefty Lewis was a vampire because he was transporting blood.
"Bud Not Buddy" is a well written book that is funny and easy to read. It is also not scared to tackle some tough subjects for kids. I think the book is important for everyone to read at least once. The journey that Bud takes is a very inspiring and fantastic read.

I made a promise to myself that I would try to read more books in 2019 since I didn't feel as though I read that much in 2018. Fortunately (and surprisingly) I've managed to keep this vow even with my turbulent schedule and lack of desire to be productive.
So here are some thoughts on the books I have managed to read thus far.
The Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
Summary: After working with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway for years, editor Susan Ryeland is intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries in sleepy English villages. His traditional formula has proved hugely successful, so successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job. Conway's latest tale involves a murder at Pye Hall, with dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects. But the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.
As someone who grew up on PBS British detective shows, I absolutely loved this book.
I was reluctant to read it initially because I knew it was a story within a story, nevertheless, I found both tales –the one written by Conway and by Susan–both equally captivating and I was just as eager as Susan to discover the conclusion to Pünd's story.
It's easy to see Horowitz has worked on many on-screen productions as the pacing is quick and engaging, leaving little room for superfluous details or fluff, but still dedicates enough time to developing characters and setting the scene.
Apart from the plot itself, what makes the story interesting is how it inwardly reflects on the genre of mystery as a whole. It asks why people are so drawn to the subject and provides interesting theories all without being overly sentimental.
It's a quintessential love letter to Agatha Christie, G.K. Chesterton and many other mystery writers, all while keeping its own unique identity.
The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn
Summary: Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble—and its shocking secrets are laid bare. What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems.
I'm a fan of Hitchcock films and a self-proclaimed junkie for unreliable narrators so this book was a match made in Heaven for me. Apart from being a page-turning mystery, it's also a well-crafted character piece.
Anna is more than just an unreliable narrator. She's a completely sympathetic person that is as much the victim of her circumstances as she is the cause of them. She's a three-dimensional character forced into a situation beyond her control and the unravelling of her past is as tragic as it is interesting.
When I learned the author of this book was a man, I was genuinely surprised. I know from first-hand experience how difficult it can be writing for the opposite gender, but Finn does so with such skill and sincerity you completely forget the author is not a woman.
I wasn't 100% thrilled with how it ends as it comes off as a bit too cartoonish, in my opinion. Nevertheless, if you're a fan of Hitchcock-like stories you will enjoy this one.
Summary: For a family in crisis, the ultimate test of survival. Ernt Allbright, a former POW, comes home from the Vietnam War a changed and volatile man. When he loses yet another job, he makes an impulsive decision: He will move his family north, to Alaska, where they will live off the grid in America's last true frontier.
Kristin did an excellent job of showing the brutal beauty of the Alaskan landscape as well as the complexity of human nature. At times I thought it was a little too bleak, rife with almost Jodi-Picolt-levels of drama where one implausibly awful thing is followed by another implausibly awful thing, but the constant conflict was genuinely gripping and kept me going in spite of it all.
This is just a personal hang-up that I have with the novel so take it for what you will, but I found Leni's love interest to be a bit unconvincing as a character. It was difficult to believe that a boy that grew up in such a harsh, unforgiving climate and had so much of his life devoted to survival would give a crap about poetry. Nor does it seem that plausible that he would have that much devotion to a girl he met when he was a little kid. That could be my own cynicism talking, but I did grow up in a very small town and absolutely none of the males I encountered were anything like this.
I will say this in the novel's favor, I genuinely didn't know where it was going and yet I trusted the writer to lead it to it's rightful destination. Some suspicions I had early on were confirmed, but Hannah threw many unexpected curveballs that made it damn near impossible for me to put the book down.
I won't say what happens as I don't want to spoil it for anyone that wants to read it, but it's worth all the emotional torture the reader has to go through to reach the end.
The City of Z by David Grann
Summary: A grand mystery reaching back centuries. A sensational disappearance that made headlines around the world. A quest for truth that leads to death, madness or disappearance for those who seek to solve it. The Lost City of Z is a blockbuster adventure narrative about what lies beneath the impenetrable jungle canopy of the Amazon.
After stumbling upon a hidden trove of diaries, New Yorker writer David Grann set out to solve "the greatest exploration mystery of the 20th century": What happened to the British explorer Percy Fawcett & his quest for the Lost City of Z?
I'm typically not a fan of nonfiction, but I made an exception for this book since the subject was intriguing to me.
I picked up this book to learn about the City of Z, but I stayed for the man that tried to uncover its mysteries. Fawcett was a character straight out of myth, both seemingly impervious to hostile-climes and disease as well as endlessly tenacious in his willingness to see a journey through to its end. He was instrumental in increasing our understanding of the Amazon, sacrificing almost everything he had to find Z, even when many scoffed at the notion that such a place ever existed.
I admire Grann's ability to weave such an interesting narrative all while unloading boatloads of information on the reader without making them feel as though they are trapped at a boring lecture.
The intimate details, journal entries, the attention to socio-political climates at this time really made this story come to life.
His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet
Summary: A brutal triple murder in a remote Scottish farming community in 1869 leads to the arrest of seventeen-year-old Roderick Macrae. There is no question that Macrae committed this terrible act. What would lead such a shy and intelligent boy down this bloody path? And will he hang for his crime?
This book is a novel disguised as a true-crime book, written by a supposed descendent of the murderer in question. It's part "memoir" told from Roderick Macrae and part compilation of "historical documents" that describe the events leading up to and after the murders.
Roderick is an interesting character in that he's surprisingly intelligent in spite of his limited education as well as a seemingly perplexing narrator. The story begins with him explaining his backstory, life and misfortunes and then slowly delves into the crime itself. From the tale Roderick weaves it would seem he was merely a victim of his circumstance, however, the reader will notice several inconsistencies with Roderick's version of events and the accounts that are later brought to light at his trial. This forces readers to re-evaluate all they thought they knew.
Is Roderick a good person that was driven to murder by his hopeless situation as a tenant farmer? Is he criminally insane? You'll have to decide for yourself.
There was a lot of research that went into the making of this book. The rural landscape and lifestyle of the average 19th century Scottish Highlander was very vividly depicted. I also appreciated the incorporation of the prevalent sociological theories that existed around that time period. Criminology was in its infancy in the 1800s and it was interesting to see how the school of thought in regards to criminals has evolved over the years.
If you're a historical fiction lover like I am, you'll really like this.

Thoughts on "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon
June 2, 2017 Rachael Corbin6 Comments
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK OUTLANDER AHEAD.
Strap in, folks, this is gonna be a long review. Then again this was a long book, so what do you expect?
The great characters. I didn't always like Claire, but she always felt like a person and not just a vassal through which the author could carry out the story. Everyone had an interesting backstory and their own distinct personality, which really helped me get into the spirit of the novel. The dialogue was very personalized as well and I was impressed at how each character was able to give lengthy exposition without it sounding too unnatural. I also found that, despite the Game of Thrones level number of characters, it was easy enough to remember who each one of them were because of how unique Gabaldon made them.
The immersive environment. It's very easy for a reader to lose themselves in this book. The way Gabaldon is able to describe the lay of the land is impressive and I never had any difficulty wondering where exactly these people were or what the environment looked like. What I can appreciate is the environment isn't just a backdrop, it's engrained into the story itself.
Sexy times for all. While the romance between Jamie and Claire may have been a bit rushed, what with Claire still having a husband back home, I believe the chemistry between these two is strong. The fact that they're both well-developed characters helps me care more about their relationship and I think Gabaldon writes sex pretty well. She doesn't explain so little that you can't tell what's happening, but she also doesn't explain so much that it comes across as mechanical and weird.
The historical accuracy. It's obvious that a lot of research went into this novel and as someone who has tried to write historical fiction with mixed results, I can really appreciate her efforts. The details she put into this really help the story come alive, especially when she writes about the environment and costumes people wear. She also doesn't shy away from describing the abominable odors that persist in these types of places back in the 18th century. I was doubly impressed when she went into details about which herbs to use for healing and how to describe how someone would properly attend a wounded man back in those days.
What I didn't like:
The focus was all over the place. I don't think I would be out of line for saying that this book is by and large plotless. While there are many obstacles that the lead characters run into, there is no centralized conflict. For the most part, the structure of the story is "this happened, and then that happened, and then this happened." It didn't ever seem to be leading up to anything. On the one hand it left me guessing as to what would be the final outcome of the story, but on the other hand it made me wonder just what the point of all of this was. This is a shame because there were so many points of interest such as Claire missing the modern world, Jamie's outlaw status and, I think most importantly, the inevitable doom that is to befall the Highlanders.
Claire's unrealistic reactions to killing. The book makes it clear on several occasions that Claire is accustomed to seeing people dying because of her position as a nurse during the War. However, I'd like to point out that there is a huge difference between watching someone dying and actively participating in their murder. In my humble opinion, Claire's reaction to having murdered someone is disturbingly understated. Granted the person she murdered was trying to sexually assault her, taking a life is an unnatural act and a psychologically stable person would be horrified at having to do so. Especially one who swore an oath to always preserve life in any way she can. I thought they would explore this more after she was forced to murder a 16 year-old in order to save Jamie, but even then she doesn't seem to feel that guilty about it. What makes this even more difficult for me to swallow is that this boy really didn't do anything wrong. He was just a young lad who was trying to do his job to the best of his ability. He just happened to be on the wrong side.
It went on for too long. I think much of this can be attributed to the fact that this book lacked a plot so the author just went along with the story until she felt like stopping. While I enjoyed this book, most of this story didn't actually need to happen in the grand scheme of things and I'm actually shocked at what they left out. For instance, the final battle to collect Jamie from the infamous Scottish prison….happens off screen…….
We spent pages and pages talking about Claire fighting a wolf (a conflict that I don't believe even needed to exist since it doesn't contribute anything to the plot), but when it comes to the climax, the great escape, the novel's main villain dying….it happens off screen…….
There was no reason to cut that part out. There were so many other pointless scenes that could have been scrapped. They did not need to cut the one part that needed to be in there.
I admit, I've gone into this fandom totally blind so perhaps Black Jack comes back with a cyborg eye and there will be a real show-down. I don't know. I'm just judging this book by its own merits.
What the hell is up with Chapter 39? So the scene where Claire tries to save Jamie's life after his torture at the hands of Randall while they're at the monastery….Can anyone tell me what happened in that scene? I think she was trying to rekindle his will to live but…that should not have worked. Mind you, I only have a passing knowledge of psychology when it comes to PTSD related events, but I'm pretty sure forcing a patient to relive a traumatic event literally days after it happened in an uncontrolled environment would not result in a sudden miraculous turn-around in their mental behavior. Particularly when they are at death's door to begin with. In fact, I'm reasonably sure that should have made him keel over.
Jamie's torture. I'm gonna be honest, I thought it was overkill. The extent of his injuries and psychological torture should have left him a completely unresponsive husk of a man or dead. At least if this had stayed as true to life as it had been before. One of the most interesting aspects of his torture was left, for the most part, unexplored. While recounting the horror he faced while against Randall, he lets slip that the sight of Claire makes him ill because Randall basically conditioned him so every time he thought about Claire he would either be beaten or worse. In one of the most emotionally devastating scenes in the whole book, he tearfully explains that he doesn't want to see her again because just her being there reawakens all of these awful memories.
Wow. That is dark. More than dark, that's completely and utterly heart-wrenching.
Aaaaaaand after Claire's Most Awful Idea Ever, he's totally fixed and ready for some bairn-making.
There's no reason why this should have worked. You can't just undo classical conditioning.
Mrs. Gabaldon, you seem like a smart lady and all, but I don't think you understand how psychology works. Sadly, once a mind is screwed up that badly, the damage is usually permanent. If not, it takes a looooong time for an individual to overcome it.
I think that Jamie's aversion to Claire would have made an excellent jumping off point for the next novel and would justify a book of equal length, especially if she found out during this debacle that she was pregnant with his child. Not only would Claire have to deal with the impending slaughter of the Highlanders and the Dragoons looking for Jamie, she would also have to confront the possibility of raising a child in a foreign country in the past alone. That's more than enough conflict for a book, in my opinion. But instead we get a miraculous recovery from Jamie and they all live happily ever after. At least for now.
I enjoyed reading this novel and I'm more than a little interested in reading the next installment. However, I also believe this book could have been so much better if some things were cut and if the story had been given more focus. It was interesting just watching them go about their daily lives, but I think actually giving it a plot would have raised the stakes a considerable amount.

it was impossible to succeed without a candidate or money, yet we polled above fifteen hundred votes; and such was the disinclination of the county to choose the stranger, that, with a profuse expenditure, a host of lawyers, and the great body of the clergy, a less number of freeholders was polled in ten days than had voted in three at the contest of 1818.

A tale of two cheerleading cases: Why student free-speech legislation may, belatedly, have a prayer
October 25, 2012 September 5, 2018 Frank LoMonte
Advocates for the freedom of religious speech are celebrating a federal district judge's decision giving a group of East Texas high school cheerleaders the right to continue displaying Bible verses on the football field.
They shouldn't. Judge Steve Thomas' decision is dead on arrival as soon as it is appealed to the federal Fifth Circuit – because those celebrating last week's ruling stayed silent when another Texas cheerleader's rights were cruelly disregarded.
In October 2008, a Silsbee High School cheerleader, "Hillaire S.," was sexually assaulted at a house party by a group of student athletes. One of them was a star player for the basketball team, for whom the cheerleading squad had created a personalized cheer.
At a February 2009 game, Hillaire could not bring herself to cheer for her attacker, so she quietly knelt on the sideline instead. Her school principal and superintendent pulled her aside, sent her home, and kicked her off the team.
Hillaire (referred to in court papers as "H.S.") and her family sued the Silsbee Independent School District for violating the First Amendment in punishing her for a silent moment of expression. This was not a get-rich-quick suit; the family merely wanted a declaration that the school was in the wrong.
What they got instead was a lesson in contemporary American justice: That the school is always right and the student is always wrong.
In September 2010, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals sided with the school district and threw out Hillaire's case, finding that the school had essentially total discretion to control student behavior regardless of the Constitution:
"In her capacity as cheerleader, H.S. served as a mouthpiece through which [the school] could disseminate speech – namely, support for its athletic teams," said the ruling by Judges Emilio Garza, Edith Brown Clement and Priscilla Owen. "Insofar as the First Amendment does not require schools to promote particular student speech, [the school] had no duty to promote H.S.'s message by allowing her to cheer or not cheer, as she saw fit."
You read that right. In the eyes of the courts, Texas schoolchildren are not human beings – they are simply "mouthpieces" for the government.
To complete this judicial mugging, Hillaire was told that her case was "frivolous," and her family ordered to pay a substantial portion of the school district's $35,000 legal bill – for wasting the public's time with her insignificant little rape.
If there is no constitutionally protected right to sit down and say nothing at all during a cheer, then there certainly is not a legally protected right to affirmatively expose a stadium full of spectators to your chosen message over the objections of the school.
When Hillaire was assaulted for a second time by the judicial system, Texas turned its back. Students at Kountze High School, who want nothing more than to share their enthusiasm for God with their classmates, are about to pay the price.
Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott, outspoken in their support of Kountze High's devout cheerleaders, stayed on the sidelines and said nothing when Hillaire needed them. But they can remedy that mistake now, and they should.
Although Texas has a state law, the Schoolchildren's Religious Liberties Act, that gives somewhat broader protection than the federal First Amendment, that law is incomplete and it appears to apply only to "speeches," so a cheerleading banner may or may not be covered.
Texas should remove all uncertainty by enacting a comprehensive school free-expression law counteracting the U.S. Supreme Court's mistaken 1988 ruling, Hazelwood, which undermined Hillaire's case and threatens to do the same to the Kountze case. "Anti-Hazelwood" reforms are on the books in seven states, and over their combined 146 years of history, they've proven overwhelmingly successful in avoiding ugly and expensive legal disputes like the one headed for a disappointing end in Kountze.
Every student – not just outspoken Christian ones – has the right to be kept safe from government brainwashing, and no child should ever be regarded as a "mouthpiece." It's too late for Hillaire to have justice, but – if the governor and attorney general act bravely – she can still enjoy vindication.
NOTE: Attorney Larry Watts, lead counsel for "Hilaire S." in the Doe v. Silsbee School District case, will be a featured speaker Nov. 8 at the symposium, "One Generation Under Hazelwood," presented by Education Week and the Student Press Law Center at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Register today and learn more about this disturbing application of the Supreme Court's Hazelwood School District v. Kulhmeier and others like it.
