Green’s Moresea reaches top Valedictorian of senior class has high expectations, works diligently to exceed all goals By Kathy Antoniotti Beacon Journal staff writer GREEN: George Moresea decided as a high school freshman he wanted to become Green High’s valedictorian at graduation. Four years later, he will graduate first in a class of 265 students in ceremonies June 4. He exceeded his own expectations, taking as many Advanced Placement classes as the school offered and will enter the University of Dayton with college credit toward a degree in chemical engineering. “I just asked myself, ‘Why can’t I be at the top of my class? I have the ability to do it,’ ” Moresea, an Akron Beacon Journal Top 25 Star Student, said in a recent interview. He credits his parents with his success and said he is the first to admit he has been blessed. “I am very privileged. My parents have a wonderful marriage, and I have always been provided for,” he said. Moresea has known since he was a small child that his future lay in a field built on mathematics and science. When he leaves for Dayton in August, he will follow a family tradition established by his mother, Brigitta, a pediatrician with a private practice, and his father, George, an anesthesiologist at Mercy Medical Center of Canton. Both are alums of Dayton, a private, Roman Catholic university. “I took AP calculus last year, and I loved it. This year, I took AP chemistry and I loved it even more. Everything in math and science has an answer, and it is concise,” he said.

  • A Phenomenological Study of Animals As Cartographic
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE TERRAIN OF THE SELF AND THE OTHER: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF ANIMALS AS CARTOGRAPHIC TEACHERS AND HEALERS Debra L. Goulden, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Francine H. Hultgren, Professor Department of Education Policy and Leadership Using the metaphor of a journey, the phenomenon of companion animal caregiving is opened for appraisal. Companion animals are revealed as metaphoric cartographers or mapmakers, creators of guides of carin g. Through these guides, we are called to care through the task of exploration of the inner terrain of the Self as well as the intimate terrain of the Other. Hermeneutic phenomenology as the mode of inquiry for this study uses the framework of six methodological guidelines described by van Manen (1990). The voices of six nurse educators provide narratives of the lived experiences of being-with a companion animal. These narratives are generated through the use of various texts for examination: conversations, art or photographs, and written life stories. Developed from narratives, significant themes of companion animals are identified. These themes are viewed as the lived language of soul, a felt connection to the Other, an ontological communion or attunemen t that reveals mystery, spirit, and an enhanced awareness. This experience of soul in its essence reveals the terrain of the Self and the Other. These themes of soul become known through the lived existentials of spatiality, corporeality, temporality, and relationality (van Manen, 1990). These intertwined themes are manifested as animal love, generated through deep connections or soul-mates; senses of animal soul by which intimate terrains are revealed through touch, vision, and hearing thereby offering an authentic knowing by the heart of a companion animal; animal courage, the terrain in which we are tended and mended through presence and compassion; and animal havens, a felt terrain of homecoming.

  • Jericho: a Road Not Taken
    Jericho: A Road Not Taken By Merryann Phillips Author's Note: The television series has Jericho affected me deeply. I am still obsessing many years after the second cancellation, and hoping for another network to pick it up. In the meantime, I have scoured the internet and enjoyed all of the fan fiction pieces I have been able to locate. I have particularly enjoyed The Tucker Series by JT, Different Circumstances by Marzee Doats, and On a Dark Horse by TarnishedArmour and the collection of stories by Tanaqui & Scribbler. Each author corrected plot holes noted in the TV series, as I hope to do here. I must admit that I enjoyed Season 1 of Jericho far more than Season 2 (although I am certainly thankful for Season 2, for the Seasons 3 and graphic novels, and look forward to the upcoming Season 5 with great eagerness, if it is released!). I found that I appreciated the characters and their stories, and Season 2 did not have the luxury of time for much of those. Even if Jericho were to continue, it would probably focus on the second civil war and not so much on the personalities. This story is how I would have imagined the back-stories of the characters we know and many we never got to meet due to the early demise of the show. The other thing Jericho did for me was to make me serious about being prepared for such an event. After Y2K, 9/11, and Katrina, it is within the realm of possibility that the folks of Jericho decided to make a few preparations rather than letting the shelters go to the rats.

  • HO Aft&^H^G WHAT PO THEY
    Velvet Crush: Prepare to be Enlightened Can Diet Coke Kill You? Pissing on the Pentagon And So Much More! HO Aft&^H^g WHAT PO THEY It would be a great thing if there were laxatives for magazines because we really need help staying regular. Here, at last, is As We Are #3. We're a bit late this time around. Sorry about that, but when you're running a new maga­ zine you have two choices sometimes— come out on time and look lousy, or come out late and look great. We chose the second option. Those of you who read AWA #1 and #2 will notice many changes in this issue. Changes in style, of course, not in content. We have acquired a genuine art staff who have completely redesigned the magazine. We hope their work will make As We Are easier to read, and more accessible to our growing audience. Our cover story is different too. It's a heck of a lot bigger than the investigative work you'll find in other youth maga­ zines. But, for all its size, it packs much more punch than the typical Details magazine piece on "Tattooing and the Single Man." The article is devoted to uber-nasties Jon Cowan and Rob Nelson of the conservative front group Lead or Leave. For the last two years, Cowan and Nelson have appeared nationally on major talk shows and elsewhere in the media claiming to be "leaders" of our generation. Yet, what Lead or Leave has done in the name of young Americans has been extremely negative.

    From: [email protected] To: Town Council Subject: Online Form Submittal: Rebecca Bextel Email the Town Council Date: Thursday, July 22, 2021 9:51:43 PM Email the Town Council Email Content: Since I cannot find an email address to address the town council like I can the county commissioners, I will copy and paste. Thank you. Dear April, Thanks for your email, and I am sorry all of y’all got sick. I hope everyone has fully covered. This program does not serve the community. It does not help the community for a 30-year-old person to get a FREE $200,000 down payment, then hold the house for the next 50 years, then leave it to their kids for the next 50 years, and by the way those kids only need to have “75% of their income earned in Teton County”, in other words, they don’t have to actually work full time. One person in the house could work one day a week and still qualify. Correct? All in exchange for a deed restriction and appreciation cap. Another question..... The guy featured in the paper who lived in Alpine with his wife and two kids and had too much student debt to buy in Teton County until the tax payer fairy came along....why is that the Teton County tax payers’ problem? What if he had gone to a community college for the first two years to lessen his debt AS COUNTLESS TETON COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE DONE? Or more directly, his personal choices are no business of the taxpayer because we should not be involved in any way with his personal family checkbook and their buying decisions.
