James Wilson is a notable exception – a man whose name may forever be synonymous with both Eastside recreation and conservation efforts, simply because he followed his passions, stuck to his principles and saw the wisdom in thinking ahead. Thus it was a huge, collective loss and crushing blow when Wilson died Wednesday at Renown Hospital in Reno. He had suffered a stroke over the weekend and never regained con- sciousness. The longtime Bishop resident and former business owner leaves behind his beloved wife, Kay, daughter, Roseanne, son-in-law, Bay, and grandson, Ansel. He was 67. At the time of his death, Wilson was a member of the Rotary Club of Bishop, where he was chairman of the International Service Committee; the Eastern Sierra chapter of the Audubon Society, which he helped found in 1983; and a board member of Friends of the Inyo, which he co-founded in 1986. Wilson was a former longtime member of the California Wilderness Coalition and past member of the Bishop Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Eulogies honoring Wilson and his contributions to the mountain sports culture, economy and environmental health of the Eastside are widespread in the wake of his death, and the grief being expressed is profound. His passing comes not just as a shock to the close-knit Eastside community, but a punch in the gut; Wilson was a friend, mentor and role model to many who admire him for his honesty, loyalty, generosity, steadfastness, sly humor and grace. “James was my brother in every sense of the word other than by blood,” said decades’ long friend and confidante Barbara Kelley, who also worked with Wilson on the Friends of the Inyo board. “He’s everything good anyone can say about James Wilson (l), a co-founder of Friends of the Inyo, mingles with tion to being longtime friends, Wilson, Vocelka and Kelley helped him.” good friend Barbara Kelley and her husband Derrick Vocelka at the form the Eastern Sierra Friends of Machik in 2005.

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

  • A Feminist Criticism of House
    Lutzker 1 House is a medical drama based on the fictitious story of Dr . Gregory House, a cruelly sarcastic, yet brilliant, doctor . Dr . House works as a diagnostician at the Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital where he employs a team of young doctors who aspire to achieve greater success in their careers . Being a member of House’s team is a privilege, yet the team members must be able to tolerate Dr . House’s caustic sense of humor . Because of Dr . House’s brilliance, his coworkers and bosses alike tend to overlook his deviant and childish behaviors . Even though Dr . House’s leg causes him to be in severe pain every day, and has contributed to his negative outlook on life, both his patients and coworkers do not have much sympathy for him . The main goals of House’s outlandish behaviors are to solve the puzzle of his patients’ medical cases . Dr . House handpicks the patients whom he finds have interesting medical quandaries and attempts to diagnose them . By conferring with his team, and “asking” for permission from Dr . Lisa Cuddy, Dr . House is able to treat the patients as he sees fit . He usually does not diagnose the patients correctly the first time . However, with each new symptom, a new piece of the puzzle unfolds, giving a clearer view of the cause of illness . Dr . House typically manages to save the lives of his patients by the end of the episode, usually without having any physical contact with the patient . Dr . House has an arrogant and self-righteous personality . Some of the lines that are written for Dr .

Journal of Applied Sport Management Vol. 7, No. 4, Winter 2015 Building Community Via Sport for Adolescents Stacy Warner Stephen Leierer Abstract Sport is frequently claimed to foster a greater sense of community for participants. However, a dearth of quantifiable and empirical evidence supports this claim and even less is known about how sport impacts adolescents’ sense of community. The aim of this research was to assess the effectiveness of a sport program for adoles- cents. A pre/post research design was used to determine if any changes in sense of community were experienced for adolescents who took part in a three-week sport program. Sense of community was measured using the Sense of Community In- dex-2. A total of 28 participants completed pre- and postsurveys.

    Innovative Milpas Street Outreach Pilot Project Houses Homeless, Cultivates Hope http://www.noozhawk.com/noozhawk/article/milpas_outreach_pilot_project_houses_homeless_20141129 By Gina Potthoff, Noozhawk Staff Writer | @ginapotthoff Marcos Olivarez was homeless until a community-backed Milpas Outreach Project helped him in his time of need. Now Olivarez sits on the project’s board of directors and leads a gardening project in the Eastside Neighborhood Park near Franklin School. (Gina Potthoff / Noozhawk photo) Community collaborative of businesses, nonprofits and police partner to help 10 most at-risk Eastside homeless Weeds sprouted up between rows of asparagus, basil and strawberries seemingly overnight, helping to explain the worry lines across Marcos Olivarez’s forehead on a recent Monday afternoon. Nobody likes pulling pesky weeds, but Olivarez, a longtime Santa Barbara resident, said he didn’t mind eradicating them from a plot at the Eastside Neighborhood Garden across the street from Franklin School, 1111 E. Mason St. The tough, methodical work spoke to a nurturing nature within the 55-year-old, who needed help of his own in recent years when he lost his home and his jobs at USA Gasoline and Casa Esperanza. As one of many who grew up on the Eastside and stayed — even without a roof over his head — the self-proclaimed loner, social drinker and city “eyesore” called the beaches along Cabrillo Boulevard home for a while, then the East Beach Batting Cages. The sad cycle would’ve continued, he said, if not for Sharon Byrne, the executive director of the Milpas Community Association who helped create a hyper-local plan to house some of the Eastside’s chronic homeless.
