  • California State University, Northridge an Examination
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE AN EXAMINATION OF FACTORS THAT SHAPE OUTCOMES FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE STUDENT ATHLETES IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership By Dorothy Sherman Smith August 2016 The dissertation of Dorothy Sherman Smith is approved: ____________________________________ ____________________ William De La Torre, Ph. D Date ___________________________________ ____________________ Mr. Richard Wells Date __________________________________ _____________________ Nathan Durdella, Ph. D, Chair Date California State University, Northridge ii Dedication First, I would like to honor God for the beautiful life and family with which he has blessed me. I dedicate this dissertation to the long line of hard-working African American men in my family who did not have the opportunities and successes of formal education, but who survived the school of hard knocks with extraordinary resiliency, industriousness and tenacity. I was blessed to have been surrounded by such great men. It is because of the strong spirit of these men that I have been able to indulge in such a study as this. To my maternal grandfather, Frank Crosby of Greenville, South Carolina, a famous rock layer who built bridges and walls that are still standing today, with his name on them; and who settled in Nichol town, buying enough land for each of his 7 children to build their homes, I will forever be thankful to him for setting an example for many to emulate and for his perseverance in attaining unimaginable goals. It was his hard work and resiliency that influenced my mother, Bernice Crosby Sherman, to whom this dissertation is dedicated, a housewife and homemaker, to teach her children the importance of independence, a strong work ethic, value of education, prudence, wisdom, generosity and the worth of standing on one’s own merits.

  • A Piece of History
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.

I say it also takes a village to raise a Ph.D. It is with profuse gratitude that I take this opportunity to reflect back and thank my large village of supporters. Firstly, “HUGE THANK YOU” to my participants, who welcomed me into their lives and showed me the Deaf and Hearing worlds through their eyes. I cannot find the words, or signs, to extend enough gratitude to each one of them for the knowledge they have inspired and the memories they have left me with. Special thanks to Owen* and Darrell* for the countless shared bottles of wine, laughs, frustrations, and for making my year in Washington, D.C. the most memorable experience of my life. I am lucky to have done this with you both. Thank you to Darian Burwell and the rest of faculty and staff at Gallaudet’s JumpStart program who supported my project in ways too numerous to mention. I also extend my gratitude to Sharon Barnartt, Julie Fennell, Beth Easterling, Susan Ganz, and Barbara Stock for our lunchtime chats.

  • From Footpaths to Freeways
    From Footpaths to Freeways A Survey of Roads and Highways in Minnesota By Joel Katz, P.E., PTOE Minnesota Department of Transportation DEDICATION This book is dedicated to the thousands of Minnesotans — past and present — who have been involved in the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the roads, streets, and highways of Minnesota, , as well as those who have played essential roles in such areas as financing, administration, research, education, and communications. These are the people who have been employed by the federal, state, and local governments; contractors; consultant firms; and educational institutions who have applied their professional and trade experience in developing a transportation system on which our way of life and economic viability has become so greatly dependent. Some of these employees lost their lives while performing construction, maintenance, and enforcement activities. All have worked diligently, loyally, and professionally — especially in emergency situations.

We are trying to get an ARCPUD before the Planning Board and to do that we need 2 entrances. What we are showing is the clearing in the right of way that is needed to build the roadways into the site. However, along this section of this road are a lot of trees. It has been fully wooded for many years. We have located the 2 entranceways – 18 feet wide in and out – with a radius of 40 feet on the edge of pavement.
