Climate change may be the most serious problem ever to face humankind. Scientists say we need to reduce carbon emissions by at least 80 percent in the next 50 years. Big companies like DuPont, Wal-Mart and Motorola are starting to address the issue by voluntarily cutting their own emissions and pressuring their supply chains to cut emissions further Small businesses are largely absent from the solution side of the equation, however.

And so that really got ingrained and stuck in there that, that all of this was not about me and it was not about his mother. It was about him. Right.

  • Women Cantors' Network
    FALL 2011 Women Cantors’ Network Robin Anne Joseph, President Gail F. Nalven, Editor From the President’s Pockets “If you’re not hitting some wrong notes, you’re probably not playing hard enough.” ~John Coltrane, jazz saxophonist I play hard. As is evident from the sprain and fracture I sustained on my left foot due to a poorly played ground ball in a softball game just mere days after the WCN Conference this year. I don’t always injure myself when I play ball, but I play not worrying about whether I will. I think about this as we approach another New Year. Have I hit some wrong notes? Have I been playing hard enough? It’s interesting to think that the two might be intertwined"that giving it my all may not necessarily result in the “right notes”, but rather some other unintentioned sound. And that these “wrong notes” might just be the outcome that indicates that we’re living our lives to the fullest. My rabbi has told a story about a time when he facetiously told his piano tuner that he didn’t have to tune the whole piano, only whatever notes were needed to play the four songs from Les Miserables that he knows. The tuner responded, “No, I’ll need to tune all of them, because when you play those four songs, you may hit some wrong notes.” We may hit some wrong notes this year, yet they may have been by-products of all the right notes that we have tried so hard to play.

    Stuck in the Middle of Knowhere Coral™ is a city girl through and through, but she’s beyond excited when Knowhere of Middle the in Stuck she gets the chance to live on a tropical island known for its amazing waves and beautiful beaches. She imagines herself as a surfer girl, riding the waves all day. Coral’s in for a few surprises when she gets to the island. She discovers that she’ll be living in a tree! Sleeping in a tree house sounded like fun for about two minutes, until she realized it has no electricity, no computer, no TV, no just about everything that Coral is used to. What will she do all day while her dad works in the Surf Shack and her stepmom runs the island ferry? Why does her stepsister keep talking in riddles? How will Coral ever get to sleep—it’s way too quiet! No cars beeping, no buses rumbling by, only the soft whoosh of waves. And that crazy dream about learning to surf? No way! Coral learns she’s terrified of the creatures that live in the ocean. Eek! Island life is nothing like what she’d imagined. But is it possible that the unexpected might turn out to be better than she ever expected? It’s impossible to separate Our Generation® characters from the generation of girls who read about and play with them, for they are one and the same.

  • EARLY HISTORY of Avalanche
    Avalanche was a unique media phenomenon in an age that crossed boundaries freely, a cross between a magazine, an artist book and an exhibition space in print. THE EARLY HISTORY OF Avalanche liza bear and willoughby sharp © Liza Bear and Willoughby Sharp 1996, 2005 All rights reserved. THE STORY OF AVALANCHE IN BLACK & WHITE in the summer of 1968 Graham Stevens, an English environmental artist partici- pating in Willoughby Sharp’s Air Art show, asked one of his chums, Liza Bear, a little mag- azine editor then making her first visit to New York, to retrieve a film of his from Sharp, who lived in Gramercy Park, and bring it back to London with her in the Fall. The package was dropped in the mail, and Bear sold her charter flight return ticket. There was good reason to stay. bear: “Willoughby was a powerhouse of information. He had a mammoth collec- tion of 20th century art books, periodicals and catalogues, all alphabetized. He was like his own worldwideweb site 28 years ago. And a lot more accessible.” By their second meeting in mid-November, Sharp, 32, and Bear, 26, had decided to produce a magazine that would focus on new forms of art-making. bear: “To someone who’d spent 4 years at London University steeped in philos- ophy, from Heraclitus to post-Wittgenstein, the anti-materialistic aspects of the new art were exhilarating.” Both had publishing experience. An art historian by training and a prozelytizer for avant-garde art, Sharp was then working as an independent curator, also producing the catalogues for his shows.

  • Students Still Mum About Shawn Reineke's Death
    Students still mum about Shawn Reineke’s death: An unsolved homicide from 1984 at the University of Saskatchewan by David Scharf A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Journalism Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 David Scharf Abstract On September 29, 1984, 18-year-old Shawn Reineke was dropped down the garbage chute of a student residence at the University of Saskatchewan. Shawn suffered horrific injuries. He died the next day. This work provides a biography of Shawn and historical context to his death. This work reconstructs the night of September 28/29, 1984, and the Saskatoon Police Service investigation into Shawn’s death. This work concludes with an analysis of why nobody has ever been charged, as well as an account of what may have happened between 3:30 and 3:45 a.m., September 29, 1984. This work is based on: an extensive review of sworn testimony at the Saskatchewan Coroner’s Inquest into the Death of Shawn Reineke, February 4 – 6; a review of contemporaneous newspaper reports, television broadcasts, and archival photographs; contemporary interviews with Shawn’s family, friends, and acquaintances; and contemporary interviews with students and police officers who were present in 1984. ii Preface and acknowledgements Sometime in November 2015, while chatting with my Carleton University journalism colleague Kelly Hobson, the conversation turned to university residences. Kelly had been a residence assistant at the University of Western Ontario. I told her the tale of “the young man who died after being put down a garbage chute” at a University of Saskatchewan residence when I was an undergraduate student in the 1980s.

It may not be copied or reprinted except for personal reading. Several people deserve thanks for their help on this project. My wife, Anne, my sister, Mary Glazer, and my friends Laurence Boag and John Elstrott all read early versions of the manuscript and got me to believe that I should stick with it. My great friend David Crosby did the same, and I doubt that I would have kept at it except for their encouragement. Ernie Brace, a POW captured in Laos and released in Hanoi, was kind enough to read the sections on the MIA/POW experience. Capt. Zeke Cormier and Mr. Joe Ciokin arranged for me to fly out to the USS Constellation and the USS Carl Vinson to see what carrier catapult shots are like. And my son, Walter, both inspired and proofread the sections on wrestling.
