A Springsteen soundtrack to the years
April 3, 2013 Tim	Leave a comment
Two albums provided the soundtrack to my final years in secondary school. Prince's Purple Rain was epic, eccentric '80s pop. Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA was gritty rock'n'roll stories of blue collar struggles and broken dreams. Prince's characters were all mascara, lavender and lace. Springsteen's were denim and dust and could have stepped from a Steinbeck novel.
I played both albums so many times I knew every note. School finished. I became a labourer and university student. New friends and long car trips made for evolving musical tastes. Albums like The Triffid's Born Sandy Devotional, Paul Kelly's Gossip and U2's Joshua Tree intersected with my life. Apart from a brief flirtation with Prince, when we partied like it was 1999, the Purple One rarely returned to my stereo.
Mr Springsteen released a handful of albums I didn't connect with. Rather than waiting for new material I started delving backwards. Albums like Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town were brilliant. The triple-cassette/CD (and 5 LP) compilation Live 1975-85 was the first box set I ever bought and showed me the showman as well as the storyteller, not to mention a band flexing some serious rock'n'roll biceps. That live set has been a regular companion ever since, ensuring Mr Springsteen's work has chimed through the decades. The first track even provides the name for this blog.
Last Saturday I was part of a crowd of 17,000 people watching Bruce Springsteen and his legendary E-Street Band. The venue was Hanging Rock, about the closest thing I'll ever have to a sacred site from my adolescence. Old school friends were dotted through the throng, along with great mates from recent years.
Only one other thing could have guaranteed time travel. Sure enough, there she was, grooving like no one was watching. Sighting the unmatched, unforgettable and unrequited crush of my late teen years felt surreal and somehow perfect.
Mr Springsteen and his 15-member band arrived on stage before sunset and launched into three hours of sublime musicianship. There was barely a breath between songs; even the break before the encore was fleeting. The storytelling was left to the lyrics and performances.
Perceptibly, the band were having fun in front of their biggest audience of the Wrecking Ball tour. Their smiles dominoed through the crowd. I saw years and burdens lifted from mates' shoulders. We'd all named tracks we hoped to hear live; none of us missed out.
Best of all, the highlights came in unexpected places. Pardon the pun but the brass section blew us away, particularly on Johnny 99 and Pay Me My Money Down. Mr Tom Morello was every bit as awesome on guitar as in the clip on my previous post, making The Ghost of Tom Joad soar.
We walked away abuzz. On Easter Sunday morning I told a friend it was the best concert I'd ever seen. He'd been there at the rock too so he understood. He corrected me, "It's the best concert you will ever see."
I've trawled YouTube looking for a memory to do justice to our experience. There are great clips but nothing that matches what's in my head. Instead I'm leaping into the DeLorean and travelling back to the celebrated song about writers' block, Dancing in the Dark. Why? On this post, it feels right.
For the serious Bruce buffs, here's the setlist from Hanging Rock, 30 March 2013:
1. Badlands
2. Prove it all night
3. High hopes
4. We take care of our own
5. Wrecking ball
6. Death to my hometown
7. Hungry heart
8. Spirit in the night
9. The river
10. Tougher than the rest (duet with Jimmy Barnes)
11. Atlantic city
12. Johnny 99
13. Pay me my money down
14. Darlington County
15. Shackled & drawn
16. Waitin' on a sunny day
17. The promised land
18. The rising
19. The ghost of Tom Joad
20. Thunder Road
21. If I should fall behind
22. Because the night
23. Born to run
24. Glory days
25. Dancing in the dark
26. Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Sensational.

A night on the streets
March 20, 2013 Tim	Leave a comment
I had a night to remember last Sunday.
Friends of ours volunteer for a program that provides free books for people living in poverty or on the streets of Melbourne. The books are donated by students, teachers and families associated with Lauriston Girls' School.
Every Sunday night the Lauries' Books volunteers head out with the St Vincent de Paul soup vans to visit five inner-city locations. I was a fill-in for a friend who couldn't make her shift.
At each stop we laid out a blanket and then a selection of donated books and magazines. As an author, it's always fascinating observing how readers select books. This was particularly true on Sunday night. I can tell you that famous authors' names in big embossed letters definitely make a difference as the Micheners, Ludlums, Cornwalls and the like went quickly. (Note to self: Write more books, get famous and get name on cover in big silver font.)
My guesses about which books would be ignored were way off the mark. Not having a roof over your head doesn't mean you aren't hungry for further learning; non-fiction titles on Edward de Bono and Jung were snapped up.
There were several parents looking for textbooks to help their children. We even had a request for a Spanish-English dictionary.
I didn't count how many books we gave away but it was several boxes' worth. There were many thank yous from people saying how reading provided comfort and made their days shorter. The donated books and magazines represented more than just entertainment.
I'll sign off with a clip of an epic Bruce Springsteen song about homelessness, from a concert I was extremely fortunate to attend. Want to see some seriously twisted guitar magic by Mr Tom Morello? Check. It. Out.

FAMILY PLACED OBITUARY
MURIEL CHUN CHAR
Muriel Chun Char passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 19, 2020, at the age of 105. She was predeceased by husband, Kenneth Chow Char, sons Earle and Sanford, and grandson, Kevin Char. She is survived by brother, Kenneth Chun of Hilo, daughter, Gwen Heliker; sons Kelvin (Delores Clark), and Clayton (Sandra); also, 13 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild
Popo Char was raised on her parents' rice farm in Waiahole-Waikane Valley. She married Kenneth in 1932, and they lived in McCully, Wailupe and Manoa before finally settling in Makiki for 70 years. In the early years, they owned and operated People's Grocery in McCully, and later Beach Curios in the heart of Waikiki.
After retiring from Kaiser Hospital as a lead cook, Popo joined the Makiki Senior Citizens Club and learned to play the ukulele and guitar, and to craft haku leis. You could find her and friend Hannah Basso, brother and sister-in-law Kenneth and Alice Chun, and other club members entertaining on Friday mornings at the former Hawaiian Regent Hotel. A major accolade for Popo was winning the 1st Place Mayor's Grand Prize at the 1988 May Day Lei Contest. Her haku hat band was outstanding in that she used only native Hawaiian shrubbery.
Through Kenneth's part-time job as Tour Director for International Travel Service (owned by sister, Bernice Char Loui and husband, Loui Leong Hop), Mom and Dad were able to see the world. They visited the mainland U.S.A., Canada, Europe and Asia, and visited Char relatives in China prior to China's fully opening the door to tourism.
Popo was famous for her cooking and baking. Her specialties included tripe stew, jai, baked spaghetti, chicken long rice, ma tai soo, lavosh, turnip and taro cakes, and much more. Her cooking talents were most appreciated by her family and friends, and by her church, The United Church of Christ, where she helped cook for their annual fund-raising luau. She was also skilled at crocheting hats, purses, shawls, tote bags, water bottle holders, pot holders, doilies, and scarves out of yarn and supermarket plastic bags, and would gladly crochet something for you in your high school colors.
Private services were held on the 1-year anniversary of her passing, and she was laid to rest with Kenneth on April 19, 2021.
Rest in Aloha, Mom. You are gone, but will never be forgotten.

The History of 70-72 Franklin
Born into one of New York's oldest families, Charles H. Contoit was considerably wealthy in his young adult years. In 1860 the bachelor real estate operator began work on an ambitious project. The block of Franklin Street between Broadway and Church Street on which he had set his sights had been purely residential three decades earlier. But now the low brick homes were giving way to impressive commercial structures. Contoit demolished the two buildings at Nos. 70 and 72 Franklin Street and began construction on a grand loft and store building.
While the plot sat nearly mid-block, the tiny alley called Franklin Place ran alongside it. This block-long passage made the site all the more advantageous—providing for additional windows along the side and for delivery access off Franklin Street. The name of Contoit's architect has been sadly lost; for he deserves credit for the stately Italianate structure that was completed a year later.
Faced in white marble above the cast iron storefront, the building featured dignified carved lintels and sills. A delicate marble egg and dart band ran along the top of the first floor entablature. The crisp quoins that rose along the edges terminated below the cornice in handsome foliate carved scrolls.
The cast iron base with its elaborate fluted Corinthian columns and pilasters, like the marble façade above, wrapped around the Franklin Place corner. The remainder of the Franklin Place elevation was faced in red brick, as was the rear—more in line with the industrial nature of the structure.
In 1861, the year that Contoit began leasing space in Nos. 70-72 Franklin Street, the first shot was fire in the Civil War. Despite the upheaval and reduction in the male workforce caused by the conflict, dry goods firms moved in. Among these was the store of George Pearce & Co., importers of "white goods, laces and embroideries, and linen handkerchiefs" both "British and Continental." The firm had been organized in 1858 and leased the ground floor here in 1860, prior to the building's completion.
In September 1865 George Pearce & Co. renewed the lease for another term of five years, agreeing to a yearly rent of $1,100—in the neighborhood of $16,200 today.
While the company sold its imported linens at street level, other white goods concerns had offices and factories upstairs. On November 16, 1888, The Sun ran an advertisement that announced, "Girls wanted to work on laces and embroideries." That same year John N. Bull's "notions" company was in the building.
One tenant, dry goods merchant Roger Lamsen, ran into trouble on his way home on December 12, 1895. On the same uptown elevated train with him was 65-year old retired merchant William Hickok. The older man had been downtown on business and was heading home to No. 181 West 75th Street. The Sun said of him, "He is not used to travelling on the elevated roads during rush hours, and he made up his mind that he didn't like it."
He did not like it because his train car became more and more crowded at each station and "the possibility of having to stand all the way up to Seventy-fifth street stared him in the face." By the time the train reached the 72nd Street station, Hickok was "in a very bad humor," and was "what might be called 'boiling mad.'"
Hickok bolted from the car just as Lamsen and another man, John H. Short, disembarked. Although Lamsen and Short reached the stairway first, the crotchety Hickok tried to shove his way past them. He "tried to force [Short] against the rail while he passed." When Short protested, Hickok "raised his foot and planted a kick which made Mr. Short grunt."
When Hickok kicked him again and said, "Now will you let me pass?" Short brought his umbrella down on Hickok's head. It resulted in the 30-year old Short and the old man "mixing up with each other in a way which sent thrills of joy through the hearts of the guards of the train and the ticket men, who with about twenty passengers gathered about to see the fun."
The trainmen, enthralled with the combat, made the passengers wait while the train stood still.
Then Lamsen, also 30-years old, got involved. "Mr. Lamsen was foolish," opined The Sun. "By maintaining strict silence he would have escaped much physical exertion and much consequent embarrassment." But instead he poked his finger at Hickok and reprimanded him. "You're responsible for all this trouble, sir. You're dead in the wrong, and you'd ought to be ashamed of yourself."
According to the newspaper, "No one seems to know just how it happened, but in some manner Mr. Hickok broke away from the guard who was holding him, grappled with Mr. Lamsen, and was rolling wildly about the platform with him, all in the twinkling of an eye."
It took a policeman to break up the fight. Hickok's face was bleeding and he insisted that Officer Beck arrest the two men. He did. When Lamsen and Short were arraigned in the Yorkville Police Court the following day, Hickok's son stood in for him, telling the judge ,"his father was completely used up by the beating he had received, and would not be able to leave his bed until to-day."
Also in the building and presumably less feisty were Chas. A. Brown & Co., commission importers of "English, French, German and Swiss underwear, hosiery and gloves;" and the Glastenbury Knitting Co., manufacturers of underwear.
On December 5, 1897, Charles H. Contoit died in his mansion at No. 728 Fifth Avenue. The New York Times said his estate was "estimated to be worth considerably over $1,000,000." Lawyers could find no trace of any family of the unmarried man. Almost all of his fortune was left to charity. But first the 75-year old took care of his servants in his will. Martha Finley, "an old servant of the family," received $2,500 (about $75,000 today); his butler William Cribbens inherited $1,000; and "all the other servants get legacies of $250 each," reported The Times.
Brothers Edward W. and George W. Scott ran the dry goods commission house of Scott & Co. in the building at the same time. Edward was 70 years old in 1899 and, looking back with a modern view, seems to have been suffering from the first stages of dementia. The condition resulted in a pitiable and potentially dangerous episode.
Edward Scott and his wife lived in the upscale San Remo Hotel. Around 7:30 on Monday evening, November 6, he left the Franklin Street building and headed home. He never arrived.
George Scott searched all the hospitals and ferries "in the belief that he had gone astray in a fit of mental aberration," but no trace of the old man could be found. Two days passed before, around 9:00 on the morning of November 8, George Scott's office telephone rang. According to The Sun, "a voice, which Mr. Scott recognized as his brother's, at the other end of the wire, said: 'I'm at the Fort Lee ferry. Come and get me.'"
Scott took a friend, John P. Faure, to the Fort Lee ferry terminal on the Manhattan side of the river. They could not find Edward. When police had searched all the telephone booths in the area with no result, a detective took the ferry with the two men to the New Jersey side. There they found Edward Scott sitting in the ferry house.
Saying he was "well known in the dry goods trade, having been in business here for more than forty years," The Sun reported that "his mind is a blank as to his wanderings."
He told his family that the last he remembered was riding on a crosstown car that Monday evening. "The next thing he knew was that he was sitting in the ferryhouse at Fort Lee, and his eye had chanced to fall on a story in the paper he was reading about his own disappearance." At that point he realized he had been lost and called his brother. The newspaper said, "The explanation given of Mr. Scott's disappearance was that he had become confused as to localities."
Earlier that year Charles H. Contoit's vast real estate holdings were auctioned—much of it in the neighborhood of No. 70-72 Franklin Street. More than a dozen Manhattan buildings and real estate were sold. In January, 1899, The Evening Post Record of Real Estate Sales said the competition was "general and spirited" and that the sale realized $892,250.
Nos. 70-72 Franklin Street was purchased for $128,000 by James B. Haggin, referred to by The Times as "the Western millionaire"; along with several other properties. (Haggin spent $531,000 at the auction.) He had made his fortune in copper and was now making his mark in Manhattan real estate and society. He became well known in horse racing circles, and establish himself and his wife in the former George Crocker mansion at No. 1 East 64th Street.
The building continued to attract white and knit goods firms. By the turn of the century Kotedsilk Underwear Company had its New York office and salesroom here; as did Erlanger Underwear Manufacturing Co. Erlanger scored a coup in August 1906 when it announced it was taking over the B.V.D. underwear operation. "The company retains its selling offices at 70-72 Franklin Street," noted Men's Wear magazine.
Advertisement in the New-York Tribune, November 9, 1900.
James B. Haggin died in 1913; but his estate continued to operate the Franklin Street building. In 1914 "the upper part" of the structure was leased to the American Cotton Mills, Co. which had been on Franklin Street for nearly half a century. Two years later Stull, MacCallum, Wilcoxon & Co., dealers in white goods, took the corner store and basement.
Erlanger advertised its new brand in McClure's Magazine in April, 1906.
The firm focused on the marketing of its Haze o'Dawn brand of voile; while offering "special bargains in colored wash goods, white goods and draperies to meet the demand of the season." Business was successful enough that on March 8, 1922, it was announced that the Stull, MacCallum, Wilcoxon Co. had taken the entire building "for a term of years."
In 1928, just prior to the onset of the Great Depression, the architectural firm of Jardine, Hill & Murdock updated the nearly 70-year old building. The upper floors, once mostly factory and office space, were now designated as "showrooms."
Throughout the rest of the century No. 70-72 Franklin Street continued to house dry goods firms. In 1931 Sichel Company, "linen fabrics," moved in and in 1933 Brown & Kruger, Inc., linen importers, took the store and basement. In the 1990s, the Manhattan Textile Corporation, import-export firm, filled the building.
By now the Tribeca neighborhood had been discovered and the grand Victorian structures were quickly becoming repurposed. In November, 2009, when the building was listed for $11 million, there were eight residential units in the upper floors and, as always, a store at sidewalk level.
The white marble has been cleaned and restored and, somewhat surprisingly, the first floor storefront survives almost totally intact—including historic wooden double doors at the western end. At some point a rather incongruous but highly attractive colonial entrance was inserted between the cast-iron columns.

The song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams has sold in the millions and racked up hundreds of millions of views on YouTube. It features a unique chord progression that mixes major and minor tonalities and borrows chords from two different scales. If you're interested in knowing how the music breaks down from a theory perspective, and you want to know what scales to play over the chord changes, then read on (and clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do).
The song's introduction begins with an F7 chord, creating a major key, specifically, F Mixolydian mode because of the b7th in the chord. But in just the fourth measure the tonality changes to minor with the notes F, Ab, Bb, and C. The official score indicates these pitches as chords, but I'm not hearing them that way. Instead, I hear them as a riff in F minor pentatonic, a scale that you can use to riff and jam over this section of the song.
The chorus introduces some jazzy changes that are rich in harmony. I hear the chords as Dbmaj7-Cm7-F7sus4-F7. I consider this progression to be an example of modal interchange. The Dbmaj7 and Cm7 are drawn from the F minor scale (Aeolian mode), and the F7sus4 and F7 are drawn from the parallel scale of F Mixolydian mode, which is actually drawn from the C major scale.
You can follow the chorus chords with their parent major scales by using Ab major scale patterns over Dbmaj7 and Cm7, and C major scale patterns over F7sus4 and F7. In each case your focus is the F note, so in essence you're producing the sound of F natural minor and F Mixolydian mode.
As you play along with the song's chorus, play the chords Db-Eb-F using different chord shapes. For example, start with your index finger on Db at the 4th fret of the 5th string and play a common "A form" barre chord, moving up two frets for each chord change (you'll play Eb at the 6th fret and then F at the 8th fret). Instead of playing the whole barre chord shape, try using just a portion of it like the first three strings. Then try other chord voicings and inversions, like portions of "E form" barre chords beginning at the 9th fret of the 6th string and ending at the 13th.
Instead of using the shapes above as chords, play them as arpeggio patterns as I teach in the first volume of Fretboard Theory Chapter 3, and create lead lines that outline the chord changes. For example, put your pinky at the 4th fret of the 5th string and play up a "C form" arpeggio pattern, then repeat the arpeggio two frets higher for the Eb, and two frets higher again for the F.
Finally, you can use F minor pentatonic as a base scale and then target chord tones within it by mapping out arpeggio patterns in and around the pentatonic box as I teach in Fretboard Theory Volume II Chapter 8.
As you can see, this happy, pop ditty is not only great for kiddos, silly dancers and lovers of Top 40, but also for guitarists that want to branch out from ordinary rock chord progressions to something jazzier that is richer in harmony.
No wonder this song "struck a chord" with me right from the first time hearing it! Totally agree with the clever complex harmonies in the chorus that applies to the chords you suggested. Thanks Mate!
This is great. My kids love this song. I'll definitely have to start playing it for them now that I've read this post. Thanks for sharing.

Palm have taken the idea of the changing robe and taken it up a notch. The Palm Equipment Poncho Grande is a weatherproof ripstop changing robe with a microfleece towel lining. The lining and the outer are sewn together in a grid pattern.
It comes with a decent sized hood and a kangaroo pocket up front. It is even big enough to wear over paddling gear.
Large arm holes results in a bit of gear that is easy to get on and off.
We have had this a few weeks now and have used it on several occasions. So far so good. We will have a detailed review landing shortly.
RRP on these is just shy of £70 but they can be found for less. Palm also do a standard Poncho that doesn't have the waterproof outer layer for around £40.
Which Memory Card For The Nikon D500?


Dear Allison — How I wish I could have known you at 60. Your death diminishes us all. We won't forget and we will keep fighting to find the truth. You will always be with us.
Happy birthday Allison; I am an Australian and can remember so clearly that day the national guard turned their guns on their own people. Shame on you America. Thank you for sharing,for this now has far more meaning to me,and this world could not afford to have lost a dear soul like Allison. I will remember this day for the rest of my life.
What a beautiful tribute to your sister, and a very moving collection of photos. Should inspire all of us to remain committed to the struggle. Thanks for posting.
Watching "Stephen Fry in America" and he visits Kent State with rememberance of the four lives that were lost there. I wanted to know who you were, so I paused and found this site. We remember you along with, Sandra, Jeffrey and William. This is a touching tribute with "Dear Allison" and the writing of your sister all these years later. I will never forget you.
Allison, because you bothered to care and to stand for something in your brief life, my family and I honor you on what is now just a bit past your 62nd birthday. You are (still) a gift to the Universe. Thank you.
You remain beautiful as the rest wither and age, but your youth remains,with all our thoughts with you on this special day,happy birthday Allison. We are all but star dust,but some burn brighter than others.
Happy Birthday Allison on your 64th year on Mother Earth. Your awareness as a teenager is still inspiring and always will be! Thanks for your enormous impact on this planet and compassion for humanity. You are great hero to me and countless others.
My life changed on May 4th 1970 but didn't realize it until 10 years later when I turned 18 and went to college. It may seem weird for a Canadian student to learn about the shootings in a modern history class but that day had a profound effect on how I think and feel today about human and civil rights in a free society. I will forever feel sorrow for Allison, Jeff, Bill and Sandy and have a deep connection to the events of that day and feel their deaths are not in vain. While justice and the truth remain elusive, I am comforted with the thought that on May 4, 1070, it was the beginning of the end of the Vietnam war. For the first time, I will be attending the 46th memorial of the shootings at Kent to finally pay my respects to the students who were killed and wounded. Never forgotten.

Oregon Field Guide: The White Salmon River Runs Free
What happens when a dam disappears and a river returns? Watch this special edition of Oregon Field Guide about the historic removal of Condit Dam.
In 2012, the 100 foot-tall Condit Dam was removed from the White Salmon River in southeast Washington, making it the largest dam in the world ever removed. The goal was simple: Restore habitat for threatened salmon. This first-ever project tested the ingenuity of those tasked with the massive project. But it may also represent a turning point. In a region built on hydropower, is removing dams for threatened salmon the new norm?

River ownership proves murky
Dave Merrick has fished the Deschutes River since moving to Bend in the 1980s.
Although Merrick grew to know the river well, it was more difficult to figure out who owned the riverbed and riverbanks — where members of the public could go, and where only private property owners could tread.
"What the rules are has always been a foggy one on the Deschutes, frankly," said Merrick, 46, manager of Fly and Field Outfitters in Bend.
In 2005, the Oregon Attorney General's Office issued a legal opinion that anyone can walk on a riverbank as long as it is below the ordinary high-water mark of the river. That has not prevented some private property owners from shooing anglers off sections of the river.
"Certainly, I've had instances — I know some of our guides have — where the boat's anchored 10 feet off the bank in the water, folks are wading and fishing, and they're being told to get out of there," Merrick said. "I grew up around here, and in my lifetime, it's just always been that way."
Without clear rules, Merrick plays it safe.
"Having guided the river for a lot of years, my rule has always been unless it's listed on the state's navigable waters list, you're not allowed on the banks on private property," Merrick said.
A state task force could clarify the rights of recreational river users if it produces a bill for the 2013 legislative session, but the group will not likely weigh in on who owns the beds and banks of many Oregon rivers.
"The state has this claim to rivers that are navigable, but no one knows what they are," said Jennie Bricker, a lawyer in Portland who represents property owners on questions of waterway ownership. Bricker is also on the state task force trying to address recreational use of rivers not designated as navigable.
Further complicating matters, many riverfront property lines extend to the middle of a river but the deeds that back that up might be very old and inexact. They can also require much research to locate.
"Early surveying in the Oregon territory and the state of Oregon was done by chains and rods, which is not very accurate when you're dealing with topographical changes," said Liz Dickson, a lawyer in Bend who does extensive work on land use and water law. "And in the case of rivers and streams, there often isn't a way to place a rod in the middle of the river, so oftentimes, surveyors were guessing as to the location of boundary lines."
Once a river is deemed navigable, the state takes ownership of the riverbed and the public can walk or camp on the riverbank. The state has declared sections of 12 rivers as navigable. In 2005, the state recognized a 174-mile stretch of the John Day River as navigable as the result of a lawsuit by the Association of Northwest Steelheaders. The group sued after a fisherman was ticketed for trespassing.
In 2010, a bill to clarify river usage rights for boaters, anglers and others ran into opposition from private property owners, and instead, state lawmakers created a task force to work on other approaches to the issue.
Secretary of State Kate Brown said Friday there are likely up to 200 more rivers for which the state has yet to determine navigability.
"But that doesn't prevent Oregonians from using these waterways," Brown said. Brown worked on navigability issues for more than a decade as a state lawmaker and is now involved with the task force.
Since 2010, the task force has been trying to come up with a set of rules on which both property owners and river users can agree.
"We've been working collaboratively for the last year and a half to come up with a consensus or a general agreement about some legislation, and the route we were taking is looking at what we would call an expanded water trails program," Brown said. "Generally speaking, a water trail is a portion of a river or shoreline that's been mapped for use by river users. … So there would be designated spots for accessing the river."
"The goal is for the rules of the river to be very clear for the river users and the property owners," Brown said. "Right now we've got some people playing Monopoly and some people playing Scrabble, and we'd like to get everyone on the same page."
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department already established these trails on rivers recognized as navigable, and future legislation could do the same on rivers not on the navigable list, Brown said.
"I'm hopeful we'll introduce legislation next session, but we're still in a working phase," Brown said.
A system of water trails still would not resolve who owns the land under Oregon's rivers not designated as navigable. It also would not prevent people from requesting that the state research whether specific rivers are navigable.
Walt Bammann, a Roseberg man who described himself as an avid whitewater enthusiast and membership secretary of the North West Rafters Association, said questions about river ownership made it difficult for people to float down the Metolius River.
"For years, our rafting club would float the river," Bammann said. In the 1990s, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs began asserting their ownership rights to the center of the river.
"Any boater that launched at some point would effectively be on their side of the river," Bammann said. "It's a real murky matter. … Whether the Metolius was ever navigable is a gray area, as (with) many rivers."
In some situations, a lack of public access along riverbanks puts rafters in danger. For example, rafters and other boaters often need to portage around a waterfall or other dangerous spot on a river, Bammann said.
Bammann and Merrick acknowledged that some river users act in ways that frustrate property owners, whether by urinating and littering on a riverbank or trespassing to reach an ideal fishing spot.
Bricker said she disagrees with the 2005 attorney general's legal opinion that opened rivers to the public below the ordinary high-water line. The opinion expanded rights for recreational river users, but it shrank the rights of private property owners, Bricker said. Bricker likes the idea of water trails because they could result in restrooms and other facilities "to make it easier for the public to use those segments of the rivers, and also take some of the burden off property owners."
"When people are floating a river, it's not always clear when you're leaving public property and entering private property, and there aren't always places to stop and, for example, go to the bathroom," Bricker said.
The controversy does not seemed headed for resolution soon.
"This is a very emotional subject," Bammann said.
Navigable rivers in Oregon
When Oregon achieved statehood in 1859, the state took ownership of all rivers that were used, or could have been used, in their natural condition to transport people and goods. However, the state did not identify which rivers met these criteria and were navigable.
For a river to be listed as navigable, it must go through a lengthy and typically contentious bureaucratic process. This means the state might own the Deschutes River and many others, but no one has gone through the process to establish it.

Deschutes River Subbasin Summary
The only impoundment created by a hydroelectric facility in the upper subbasin is Mirror Pond on the Deschutes River within the City of Bend. Mirror Pond has become one of the primary attractions of Bend as a park for a variety of recreation and local events.
However, this impoundment has created a settling basin for sediment being carried in the river and has been dredged on one occasion at a high cost both in dollars and environment disruption of the stream channel. A smaller impoundment created by the North Canal dam downstream of Mirror Pond has also created a settling basin for sediment and loss of the natural stream channel (ODFW 1996d).

Critics say hydro plant should be turned off
The aging power plant on the Deschutes River in downtown Bend is a money-loser, a fish-killer and an eyesore, and the community would be better off if it were shut down, critics of a plan to relicense the facility said Wednesday.
However, PacifiCorp officials said the hydro facility that ushered the electric age into Bend eight decades ago can be revitalized and made to safely churn out electricity for decades to come.
"It is old and tired, but there is nothing to preclude it from operations for another 30 years," said Randy Landolt, a member of PacifiCorp's hydro division.
PacifiCorp, the parent company of Pacific Power, is seeking a new 30-year federal license for the so-called Bend Project, the dam and power plant built by the now-defunct Bend Water, Light & Power Co. on the east bank of the Deschutes in 1910.
PacifiCorp officials held an all-day meeting in Bend Wednesday to gather comments of various local, state and federal agencies. The government leaders urged the utility to either retire the power plant or make major improvements in the facility.
Critics of the relicensing plan insisted that the utility take steps to reverse longstanding environmental problems, including damage to fish runs, problems created by ice buildup behind the dam and the sedimentation of Mirror Pond.
However, utility officials warned that the small hydroelectric project—which generates enough power to provide electricity to only about 400 homes—is not profitable enough to merit spending millions of dollars on fish screens and other improvements.
"This project cannot in and of itself support every improvement that people want to see," Landolt said.
PacifiCorp officials sparred with Deschutes County Commissioner Tom Throop and other local government leaders over the question of whether the power plant is responsible for the heavy sediment buildup in Mirror Pond.
The sediment, which comes from eroding banks and other sources on the upper Deschutes River, is deposited in Mirror Pond when the river is slowed at the PacifiCorp dam.
"If the dam wasn't there, and the power plant wasn't there, there wouldn't be a sedimentation problem in Mirror Pond," Throop said.
"If the dam wasn't there," Landolt replied, "there wouldn't be a Mirror Pond."
PacifiCorp also was criticized for concluding that fish screens and other measures that would allow fish passage of the dam were simply too expensive to construct, given the limited production at the power plant.
A PacifiCorp study last year concluded that about 40,000 fish—including 1,200 to 1,400 rainbow trout—are swept into the powerhouse turbines each year.
However, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists said the study occurred at the tail end of a four-year drought, when fish populations were at perhaps an all-time low. In fact, biologist Ted Fies said, the number of fish that enter the powerhouse could be more than 100,000 a year.
Rich Kruger, another ODFW biologist, noted that a major effort is under way to improve fisheries in the upper Deschutes, including the stretch of river in the urban area.
"There is a lot of money being poured into this region to improve things. This is of a major importance to us," Krugar said. "The Department (of Fish and Wildlife) is not going to back down on this."
Dennis Canty, a National Park Service analyst, noted that PacifiCorp admitted that in the future the Bend Project will cost more to operate than it will produce in revenues. He said the power plant should be retired and the turbines removed, allowing for fish passage.
"This is a fundamentally inefficient project," Canty said. "I don't think the public is well served by pursuing licensing for another 30 years. How can you justify this?"
Landolt said PacifiCorp wanted to relicense the powerhouse because it would cost the utility more to shut it down than to keep it operating. "The alternative is a major capital expenditure for retirement with absolutely no revenues to offset it," he said.
PacifiCorp's application for relicensing will be presented to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in late December. The agency, which must balance the need for power against the environmental costs of operating the plant, could take several years to issue a ruling on the matter.
The Bend Project's current license expires in December 1993.
More Hawks Go Fishing In Mirror Pond
Vandevert is firm
Ospreys flit happily over water, unaware of condemnation
Apparently ignoring the edict of Dr. J.C. Vandevert, state game commissioner, who has sentenced all ospreys on the Deschutes river here to death, two more fish hawks were wheeling and darting over the mirror pond in Bend today. When announcement was made of the game commissioner's plans for exterminating the hawks yesterday only two were known to be fishing in the river here.
Dr. Vandevert remained firm in his purpose to have the ospreys killed, in spite of the protest of the Oregon Audubon society, voiced yesterday by President W.A. Elliott. Just when the sentence of death will be carried out, Dr. Vandevert did not say.
Corrects Report
"There is one thing I would like to correct," Dr. Vandevert said today. "Yesterday The Bulletin quoted me as having said that the fish hawks were killing ducks. What I said was that it had been reported to me by several Bend sportsmen that the hawks have been molesting the ducks, and I have never claimed to know.
"I do know, however, that they are killing fish- the sate's fish. The game commission is determined to protect the fish that it plants in the rivers and lakes. That is why we are going to have the ospreys killed."
Dr. Vandevert declared his belief that the fish hawks are feeding on trout, rather than white fish, was due to observation of the habits of the birds. They do not dive very far under the water, he explained, apparently waiting until a fish rises for a fly or other insect and then pouncing on the fish as it reaches the surface of the water. White fish, he pointed out, are usually found on the bottom of the river, in deep water, which would indicate that the birds are after trout, not white fish.
Three Laws Ignored
Dr. Vandevert's decision to have the ospreys executed was made in the face of three sets of laws which would forbid the destruction of the birds. One is the Oregon law which makes every incorporated city a bird refuge, with not even game birds legal prey at any time. The second is that part of the Oregon code which protects the osprey, among other birds not listed as game birds or "outlaws", at all times and places. The third is the Bend ordinance which prohibits the use of firearms within the city limits, under heavy penalty.
Dr. Vandevert believes that the right of the game commission to protect game fish carries with it the right to kill ospreys if the molest game fish, he indicated.
"Another thing I would like to have known in connection with this matter is that I have arranged to have 25,000 trout planted in the Descutes at Bend," Dr. Vandevert declared today. "If those fish can't be protected against fish hawks, king-fishers and fish ducks, I certainly won't allow them to be planted here. And I believe most of the sportsmen will back me up in that stand."
Pelicans Are Cited
The contention of those who have been seeking to have the ospreys protected is that the osprey is just as much a part of the wild life of Oregon as the rainbow trout. The argument has been advanced that a great many Bend citizens do not fish, but are more interested in observing wild life on the mirror pond than catching trout. These people, it has been argued, are entitled to consideration, just as the sportsmen are.
Supporters of this viewpoint have frequently mentioned the case of the white pelicans of the Klamath lakes. These birds, recognized as fish eaters, have been given strict protection by the residents of Klamath Falls, with the result that Klamath Falls has become famous as the city of the Pelicans. The same situation, it is stated, applies on Bend's mirror pond and includes not only swans, wild ducks, white mallards, and geese, but also the ospreys, king-fishers and fish ducks which have shared in the interest of the community.

Fishways Work To Start Soon
Construction Planned to Open Entire Deschutes to Salmon–
Screening of Ditches Ordered to Save Trout of Central Oregon.
Preparatory to the installation of fish ladders for salmon in the Deschutes river, provided for by appropriation by the last legislature, Master Fish Warden R. E. Clanton and State Game Warden Carl D. Shoemaker will, in company with Deputy District Warden W. O. Hadley, make an inspection of the fishway sites about the end of the present month, Mr. Hadley announced here this morning. They will also take steps to have the ladder at the C. O. I. dam thoroughly overhauled.
The building of fish ladders at Cline falls, Steelhead falls and Big falls has been advocated for several years past by Mr. Hadley, who saw the need of increasing the available spawning grounds for salmon, and at the same time filling the Deschutes river with the great food fish. The construction of ladders will in effect, remove the natural obstacles which have kept the salmon from coming into the upper river.
High Water Hinders.
High water has prevented a careful study of conditions at the falls, necessary before the exact location and specifications for the ladders can be decided on, but by the end of the month it is believed that the river will be low enough to permit an inspection by state officials. Construction is to start shortly afterward. One ladder large enough to permit the passage of salmon has already been constructed by the Bend Water, Light & Power Co. at the power dam in Bend, and Mr. Hadley expressed himself as being well satisfied with the new fishway.
Another way in which the resources of Central Oregon's streams may be protected is by the careful screening of irrigation ditches, and within a few days the state ditch superintendent will arrive in Bend to look after this phase of the work. Probably the greatest need is on the Squaw Creek ditch, Mr. Hadley says.
New Law Important.
Mr. Hadley emphasized particularly the need for sportsmen to familiarize themselves with the 1919 fish and game laws. …
A number of copies of the synopsis of the 1919 laws have been left at The Bulletin office, and may be secured here by sportsmen as long as the supply last.

New Fish Ladder is Being Built
In compliance with a request from the state fish and game commission, the Bend Water, Light and Power Co. yesterday commenced work on a large fish ladder at their power dam in this city. The new work is necessitated by the plan for making the river open to salmon coming up from the Columbia to spawn, and the fishway already installed at the dam was insufficient in size to allow the passage of the big fish.
The ladder now under construction will cost in the neighborhood of $500, Manager T. H. Foley estimates.

Stock Stream
Chief Deputy Game Warden Brought 35,000 Fry to Bend Monday Night and Placed Them In River — Others to be Supplied Next Year
The Deschutes river today contains 35,000 more fish than it did on Monday. The reason for the rapid increase is that 35 cans of fish fry were placed in the stream Monday night by State officials.
Chief Deputy Came Warden T. J. Craig and Assistant H. W. Trembath arrived Monday evening with the young fish and the vessels containing them were at once loaded on a truck and taken to the Sisemore place above town where they were liberated. The fish are steelhead salmon trout and were brought from the Clackamas hatchery. The shipment came through unusually well, none of the little fish dying. They are very small now but In a year's time will be from six to eight inches long. When they have attained their growth they weigh six or seven pounds.
Mr. Craig assured Secretary Sawhill of the Commercial Club that next spring 50,000 Eastern brook trout would be brought here to stock the river, the fry being too small to turn loose In the open stream now. He also said that enough lake trout to stock Paulina lake would be furnished by the state if transportation for them from Bend to the lake was guaranteed.
Messrs Craig and Trombath left yesterday morning.

Fish To Stock River
The waters of the Deschutes River, although already full of Dolly Vardens and redsides, are to be stocked with more fish, making the stream an even greater paradise for the angler. Through the efforts of the Commercial Club, State Game Warden W. L. Finely has allotted 100,000 English brook trout fry to Bend, to be placed in the river here.
These young fish were hatched at a State hatchery, and will be shipped here as soon as freight traffic is begun. F. W. Robinson, general freight agent of the O. W. R. & N., has notified Mr. Finley that free transportation will be furnished over the company's line for the fish.

Big Fish For Oregon Car
Last Thursday J. N. Hunter, W. H. Staats, "Bill" Brock and Prince Staats returned from a fishing trip "upriver" in Mr. Staats's auto. The chief purpose of the expedition was to secure a number of Dolly Varden trout to be sent to the Great Northern Railroad for exhibition purposes in the "Oregon Car," that is to be sent out through the East, and elsewhere.
The party brought back a dozen huge "Dollies," many weighing over ten pounds. These were boxed carefully, packed in ice, and sent by express to an expert in Portland who will prepare them for exhibition purposes, in large glass jars especially made for the purpose. These Deschutes "Dollies," and other trout (as soon as they can be will be the only finny representatives of Oregon used on the publicity car, with the exhibition of some salmon from Astoria, says F. W. Graham, the G. N. representative in charge of the work.

12 Leadership Lessons from Mailchimp Co-Founder and CEO Ben Chestnut
July 9, 2021 by admin 0 Comments
My ongoing series in partnership with Entrepreneur, If I Knew Then: Leadership Lessons, is a unique platform for hosting virtual fireside chats with high-profile CEOs of major brands, from Indeed and Nextdoor, to GoDaddy and DocuSign. These insightful sessions spotlight the minds of successful leaders as they share one-of-a kind advice and lessons for both current and future entrepreneurs.
For our 16th episode, I spoke with Ben Chestnut, the CEO of Mailchimp, a company he co-founded with Dan Kurzius in 2001 as a side project to their web design agency. Together, they designed Mailchimp to be a delightful, yet powerful email marketing tool that gives small businesses access to technology that was once reserved for larger enterprises. The company has now evolved into a platform that helps small businesses with everything from buying a domain name and setting up a website, to creating an online store and setting up eCommerce marketing automation.
Headquartered in Atlanta, where Chestnut received his bachelor's degree in industrial design from Georgia Tech, Mailchimp has impressively scaled in growth over the past two decades, but its mission remains the same: to empower the underdog. Chestnut leads a team of 1,200 employees across six offices, including in Atlanta, Brooklyn, Oakland, Santa Monica, Seattle and Vancouver. Mailchimp helps empower millions of businesses and entrepreneurs globally with savvy marketing, commerce tools and award-winning customer support.

After 20 years in business, the co-founders continue to each retain 50 percent of the company, despite offers north of a billion dollars from outside investors (a unicorn feat in itself). Mailchimp remains privately held and highly profitable, with $700 million in revenue in 2019, 60 percent industry market share and a valuation of $4.2 billion.
When asked what inspired him to become an entrepreneur, Chestnut recalls the story of his mother running a hair salon out of the kitchen and brainstorming business ideas on car trips with his father:
"My mom gave me this entrepreneurial model," he says. "She didn't call herself an entrepreneur or a small business; she called it 'making ends meet.' It was her talent. I saw entrepreneurship as just breathing, a thing you do in life. It was a service business; clients came into our kitchen. I learned about customer service this way. My father was in the military and dreamed about starting a business, but he could never make that break, because he had to support the family. I have memories of brainstorming businesses to start one day with him on car trips when I was growing up. It inspired me to finish what we started. In 2000, we all got laid off at this dot com, and I remembered all of those stories I brainstormed with my Dad. I knew that if I didn't try to be an entrepreneur, I would never be one. I might get a great cushy job, but I might regret it. I thought, let me try this."
Read on for more of Chestnut's insights from his journey of building a sustainable, evolving and enormously successful business. Here are 12 takeaways from my conversation with this incredible leader:
1. Do what works and repeat
There is no playbook to build a successful business. Starting a company is not always perfect, and you'll make plenty of mistakes. Chestnut recalls a time in the early Mailchimp years when he was searching for a playbook or mentor who could flip the switch so the light bulb would come on. Chestnut soon realized there is no playbook, so he asked himself what was working and moving the needle — even something as small as getting 100 customers. Chestnut's mentor at the time asked how he was able to get those 100 customers and advised him to use the same strategy again, which worked. Stop focusing on the negatives or the mistakes made, do what works and repeat it until customers stop buying it.
2. Find the communication style you're good at, then find the channel that will inspire you to use it
Founders are good at one way of communicating. For Chestnut, it was writing, so he fell into blogging, which was how he marketed Mailchimp. He calls it the "3 Cs": What's the channel? What's your communication style? What's the channel that's going to give you the highest cadence?
3. Listen hard, change fast
Chestnut believes the world would be a better place if CEOs listened more. Talk and listen to customers, connect the dots and live up to your brand promise. "We had an extreme customer focus from the beginning, but I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge that we started at a time when the economy was horrible and everybody needed an affordable marketing channel," he says. "SaaS was kind of new, and we had a SaaS offering right off the bat. It was a good one for a channel that was neglected for a long time. I still remember a customer from Dayton, Ohio said, 'Sprinkle the magic in all of the channels and make it easy.'"

4. Diversify your customer base
Imagine an inbox with 1,000 requests from customers. That is enough to overwhelm three people in a rented office space. You need to find the trends within those requests and build for those trends; if you build something, it should solve for millions of people, not just a small handful of really big customers. By diversifying your customer base, you are not relying on retaining your fewer bigger accounts.
5. Avoid regrets by taking risks
Early in Chestnut's journey, he picked up a book, Regrets of the Dying, about a home care nurse who detailed everything she learned from taking care of people on their deathbeds. Chestnut lives his life to avoid regret and says "This book was my motivation to take a leap and do new things. I don't want to be on my deathbed having not taken risks."
6. Have a unique story to tell
Even if your business is doing something that's been done before, share how your take on it is unique. Entrepreneurs should remind themselves, I am an entrepreneur. I have a story to tell.

7. You need to know the goal. But don't stop there
Chestnut takes this concept a step further, asking himself, What are the habits I need to achieve my goals? What do I need to change to get there? He then forgets about his goals and chooses to focus on the change of habits, knowing the goals follow. "You need the sun, you love the sun, but if you stare at it, it will burn your eyes out," he says. "I hire people to watch the goals now, and my job is to think of the next level because I am the role model. How do I change to achieve this goal? I need to behave this way, the culture of the company has to behave this way."
8. Look for leaders that can adapt to any scenario.
Chestnut has a strategy to help him assess whether a candidate is a good listener and can focus. "Maybe it's more of a pet peeve," he says. "But I have a fork test." He purposely takes prospective hires to lunch or dinner at a loud restaurant. If they are unable to drown out the noise and get distracted by the sound of a fork dropping, it's a sign that they can't stick to a goal or focus on the person in front of them. He also shares another trick he has, which is to take on the persona of Gomer Pyle when he asks people to tell him about what they know. This shows him if they can explain the subject simply. "It is a test to see if they truly understand the topic or subject matter and are humble enough to dumb it down for a simpleton. If they get defensive, that's a bad sign. If they are curious, that is a great sign."
9. Make sure the leaders on your team are brave enough to tell you when you are wrong
Hire people who are smarter and better than you, because you're not always going to be right. Not everyone will feel comfortable telling you when you are wrong. It's important to interact with and listen to your leaders in a way that is open and encouraging of honest feedback. This must be practiced, but over time your people will trust that they have the ability to tell you when you are wrong.
10. You don't need to read books on time management, just hire great leaders (and stellar executive assistants)
Running a tiny squad is very different from running a team of 100 or 1,000. Understanding organizational behavior is helpful, but you can't understand it by reading leadership books you get at the airport. Great leaders know what they are doing, and they save you the time you need. Have a great executive assistant, and get other executive assistants for your executive team as soon as possible. This helps everything grow. Chestnut confesses that he never reads growth hacks or time management books, because he believes with growing a business, everything changes every couple of months. Patterns never stick, because he's always having to prepare for change. "We are on a rock hurtling through space on an ever-expanding universe," he says. "Something will change. Everything will change. It's all about adaptability and resilience."
11. Design your product or service for the life stage of the customer versus the industry
Avoid comparing your small business clients to other companies in their industries. Instead, look at the evolution of their competitors. To sell to people who are just starting their businesses, Chestnut and his team create a persona of the young entrepreneur. At the five-year mark, they noticed a trend where their customers were hiring another person handle the marketing. As a result, Chestnut's team gives these businesses another persona at this stage of their growth.
12. Don't listen to your ego; build for your customer
Let your customer always be your North Star. You will mess up a little bit every day. Something is always broken, but you keep on marching. Look at and care for your customers, not yourself.
"I think about our customers and how they are becoming global," Chestnut says as he reflects on the future of Mailchimp. "They sell things that are small and shippable. Our customers are the future of commerce, and our global potential is to serve all entrepreneurs all over the world. The majority of our revenue comes outside of the US. Mailchimp is on the cusp of 1B in ARR. That is a good rite of passage that I want to celebrate."
Mailchimp's mission to empower the underdog by building powerful marketing technology and democratizing it for small businesses has not only survived two decades and a pandemic, but it is thriving. Mailchimp is also giving back, providing free six-month memberships to qualified organizations that are helping with Covid-19 vaccine distribution.
It is no wonder Chestnut has been called a combination of Mr. Rogers and Bruce Wayne, even though he likens himself more to the great American author Kurt Vonnegut. In the words of Kurt Vonnegut, "We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down." I look forward to hearing how Chestnut develops his wings.

When my children were young, I felt like my entire life was a constant fight to keep them alive. I was like Trinity in "The Matrix," Jackie Chan in any film he's ever made, and Mrs. Incredible (from the animated "The Incredibles"), all in one, stretching beyond all scientifically proven capabilities of the human physique to keep them out of the street, body-blocking falling hazardous objects, and trying to keep chokeable items out of their grubby little hands and faces — all at the same time.
Educating them about how best to operate in the world, advising them about the joys and pitfalls of life, even teaching them their Sunday school memory verses, all came a very distant second, fourth or even 15th priority behind keeping them alive for the first few years of their lives.
It was quite similar, now that I think of it, to the role I played with my real estate clients and readers at the top of the market. Back then, it was all I could do to battle harmful misinformation and aggressively over-high hopes of the "too-good-to-be-true" variety.

Socialize Me: Lotusphere '09 Best Practices Track goes Social!
Lotusphere '09 is now open for abstracts and submissions are pouring in! I recently found out that Mac Guidera is the track manager for the Best Practices Track.
I've known Mac for 2 years now when we started working together on Lotus Connections. Thus, it's no surprise that he has decided to take abstract submissions social! Mac is encouraging abstract submitters to post their ideas in the LS09 Best Practices category over at IdeaJam.
Even if you don't intend on submitting an abstract, you can submit an idea for what you would like to see and let others in the community develop your idea. I was thinking of submitting an abstract for a session on social software adoption. Before I do, however, I wanted to get the feedback from the world.
Do you think such a session would be valuable at Lotusphere? If so, head over to my idea, vote and comment on it. If not, let me know what you think would make it better, or post your own idea!!!

A Presidential Education
by Ed Kilgore February 16, 2015 January 8, 2022
One of the issues raised by Scott Walker's quick ascendancy to the top tier of presidential candidacy in the 2016 Invisible Primary is the phony scandal of his lack of a college degree. I call it a "phony scandal" because while there have been a few liberals (notably Howard Dean) to cite it as a disqualifier for the presidency, there have been far more conservatives raising lusty cries of Palinesque defiance of the godless lefty elites who think brainwashing at godless liberal universities is blah blah blah bark bark woof woof. Glenn Reynolds (a university professor, of course) gives this ancient George Wallace meme the old heave-ho at USA Today:
[A] President Walker would accomplish something worthwhile the moment he took office. Over the past few years in America, a college degree has become something valued more as a class signifier than as a source of useful knowledge. When Democratic spokesman Howard Dean (who himself was born into wealth) suggested that Walker's lack of a degree made him unsuitable for the White House, what he really meant was that Walker is "not our kind, dear" — lacking the credential that many elite Americans today regard as essential to respectable status….
[T]he college degree — especially a degree from an elite school — has become an entry-level ticket into the educated mandarinate. In his important book, The New Class Conflict, Joel Kotkin calls it the "clerisy" — that now dominates government, journalism and academia. And as a result, an America that once prided itself on real-world achievement and practical good sense now runs largely on credentials.
Kotkin, of course, is a conservative intellectual beating a conservative anti-intellectual drum that's not "new" at all; it goes back for many decades, not just in pointy-headed conservative circles but among politicians, particularly in the 1960s when "university" was identified with "spoiled hippies" on the Right. It's a shame for people like Reynolds and Kotkin that Spiro T. Agnew was forced to resign the vice presidency in disgrace; nobody will ever surpass his denunciation of liberals as "an effete corps of impudent snobs."
In any event, I guess progressives will have to dutifully line up and confirm that no, we do not consider a college degree a requirement for the presidency. Like an awful lot of things, educational credentials are a data point, and to that extent, conservatives touting Walker should admit not finishing college (after all, if elected Walker would be the first president born after 1884 to have no college degree) isn't some sort of positive accomplishment. If it was, then maybe Republicans should find a candidate who didn't finish high school, or who is illiterate; they'd sure be immune from all that Marxist propaganda, wouldn't they?
