April’s Dimensions events attracted a record-breaking 1,300 prospective Class of 2018 students and family members. Admitted students and their families had the option of attending one of three Dimensions programs, an increase from the one program held in previous years. They had an opportunity to visit classes, spend the night in a dorm, attend faculty showcases and student research panels, and participate in candid conversations about student life. Deciding where to attend college is the most significant decision most admitted students have ever faced, says Director of Admissions Paul Sunde.“There is no better way to do this than to spend some time getting to know our students, our faculty, and our staff,” he says.

Students are taken through the process of being admitted into prison.
30 students and teachers from Po Leung Kuk Ho Yuk Ching (1984) College joined a pilot community education project to experience prison life.
The Correctional Services Department (CSD) launched the Reflective Path program in June 2015. The program covers what happens to accused criminals, from mock court hearings, simulated intake procedures at the prison, to being confined in custody and solitary cells. It aims to enhance understanding among students of how the judicial system and correctional services work.

I knew Christina when I worked in psychiatry. She was a psychiatric nurse. Dead now.
At one point, an elderly woman was admitted with cancer phobia. She had been investigated by everyone, to the same result: no cancer. But these investigations made her more sure that she had indeed got cancer. And so, washing their hands of her and finding no diagnosis, they handed her over to the psychs.
Strange thing about people with cancer phobias is that they can have unexpected levels of anger. Though less strange if you consider that they are convinced that the whole medical profession has missed their diagnosis. This woman was a sweet old lady most of the time, but made herself unpopular by hurling a glass shampoo bottle at the head of a student nurse. The nurse threw herself to the floor and the bottle shattered to smithereens against the wall where her head had very recently been. She escaped injury, but there was a noticeable cooling of the feelings of the staff towards the lady with cancer phobia.
And then came the night matron. Night matrons, in those days, were the nuns who were too scary to let loose in daylight. And Sister Josephine was famous as being the most psychopathic of the night matrons. She would march into a ward, medical, surgical, psychiatric, anywhere, and flick on the lights, regardless of the fact that this was happening at three or four in the morning.
She did exactly this on the psych ward, and strode over to where the sweet little old lady with the cancer phobia was asleep.
"And how are we this evening?" she asked in a loud voice, bending over the bed.
The lady raised herself up on one elbow and then fetched Sister Josephine the sort of uppercut that sent her flying across the room and fetched her up against the opposite wall. More or less where the student nurse had fallen, in fact.
And from that moment on, she was the hero of the hour. She was surrounded by cheer and affection from the staff on the ward. To her slight puzzlement, I thought.
I was told about it the next day by Christina, who concluded with these words:
"Far be it from me to say this, Ronán, but doesn't God move in mysterious ways?"
Some years after I left, Christina was attacked one night by a patient who waited, leaning over the bannisters, and poured boiling water over her as she climbed the stairs.
She recovered physically, but never worked again. Some time after that she took her own life.

OHS.
Oregon is celebrating its 150 Birthday all year long! About twenty cyclists met up to celebrate in style. We had two Beavers, some Oregon themed shirts, and many of us dressed up in Oregon’s state colors Blue & Yellow (Gold and Navy if you are picky). At the start we had a little Birthday Cake, lit the candles and Sang “Happy Birthday Oregon”. Four people won best costume and got a fabulous Oregon-Beaver drink coaster set (thanks SCRAP!) and four Natives of Oregon won special arm-band garters with a picture of Oregon. Everyone got buttons to wear! Also each person put something about Oregon on a name tag. One person had eaten cherries off 10 + trees in Woodlawn neighborhood that week. Another admitted she loved rain. One person proudly proclaimed CAR-FREE in Oregon, and I said, I’d been to the Slug-Queen festival in Eugene – which is fabulous beyond words by the way.
Our first stop was the Woody Guthrie Circle at the Bonneville Power Administration Building in the Lloyd. Dan Miller brought his little guitar and we sang “Roll, on Columbia.” Dan even wrote up one of his own verses to sing! The great folk singer Woody was hired by the government to make folks songs about the new dams being built up the Columbia in the 1940s as a campaign to appease the public. After three rounds of singing, ‘homeland security” showed up and told us to stop taking pictures! But didn’t say to stop singing.. but we were on our way to our next stop anyway. Strange!
Next up was the Portland State Building. Inside there are two incredible glass murals, one of Multnomah Falls and one of Bridge of the Gods. Also in the center of the lobby is a gold ring hanging from the ceiling with Oregon’s State motto: She flies with her own wings! As we were looking at the murals…. A BIG SURPRISE happened. SESKI THE SASQUATCH came out between the two murals! Seski is Oregon’s State Mascot for the Sesquicentennial celebrations all year! I had been leaving notes for him in Forest Park (his local accommodation) inviting him to ride with us, and well, He came! It was a media frenzy, everyone had their cameras out. No one could believe they were meeting a real Big Foot! When I announced that Seski would be riding with us, there were squeals of delight!
Around the corner from the Portland State Building at NE 7th & Lloyd Blvd is a display of Oregon’s State Symbols from Beaver to Douglas Fir, from Western Meadow Lark to the Oregon Grape. But something was missing! Oregon’s Mascot. So I did the honors and added Seski to the Hall of Fame of State symbols!
Our group cycled on with Seski in a Pedicab generously donated by Portland Pedicabs and we paraded down to the Waterfront and rode lower Steel Bridge to Salmon Fountain. People on the waterfront were so excited to see Seski! When we arrived at Salmon Fountain there were some youth group activities and the kids went nuts when they saw Seski. One boy ran over. I love you!!!! He screamed.
We pedaled into Chapman Square where there is a Pioneer Oregon Trail family sculpture that was erected in 1993 for the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail. Here we took many Seski photos, and bid him adieu.
The rest of us went up to the Oregon Historical Society to see the Oregon my Oregon exhibit. We also looked at the tromp de l'oeil mural outside showing Lewis & Clark & others. I didn’t know how many folks would show up so I told the museum 30 to 60 people. So they had three docents ready for us. But with twenty we could have easily stayed as a group, but each docent really wanted to give a tour. I first showed everyone my favorite item at OHS, the Portland Penny that decided Portland’s name. We split up our group with the three volunteer docents and each group started in different parts of the exhibit. I wasn’t so keen on this, and many of us missed a lot of the exhibit this way since we had an hour to see everything. And I really like to go in chronological order. Oh well, they docents were really sweet and loved telling us about the exhibit.
We lost a few here I think to visit the rest of the museum, and about 10 of us went to the carts to get some food and then went down to the waterfront for the last part of the tour. A visit to the Founder’s Stone! (which is curiously hidden off Naito Parkway just south of Morrison Bridge. There are no paths to it, and it was dedicated in the 1940s.) So we had a dramatic play to reenact the famous Naming of Portland story with Dan Miller as the Bostonian Asa Lovejoy and Allan Folz as William Pettygrove who hailed from Portland, Maine. At first the two pioneers wanted to have a pistol duel in the naming, but the audience said, We have an idea: how about a coin toss, and luckily we had a giant Portland Penny! Of course this play kept getting interrupted by random sprinklers turning on us, and then we’d scream and find a new area of the park, and then it happened again. But finally the city’s fate was sealed. Pettygrove won the coin toss, and Portland is still Portland.
The tour ended just in time to meet up with the Ice Cream social on Broadway Bridge!

In 1983, Port Parham, in South Australia, faced a turning point.
Between the proposed Department of defence extension and the proposed airport at Two Wells, Port Parham and it's residents were about to become extinct.
A battle begun that ran for almost 4 years. 6 elderly residents passed away during the battle and in the last year, it looked like the future of the area for public use, was clouded.
The Army had created the "Department of defence, Proposed extension of the proof and experimental establishment, Pt , Draft environmental impact statement"
The Department of defence needed to test larger guns. The current area was the army firing range, Gun testing range and munitions testing area.
They needed to expand to test the new (At the time) 155 mm Howitzer. They needed to test it up to 6 times a year and needed 30 kms extra area (The range is 40 kms).
The Army faced three options.
Option 1 was to acquire land all the way up to Pt Prime (All the way from Sandy Point). This included Port Parham (Inhabited), Webb Beach(Inhabited) and Thompson Beach
(Uninhabited). Pt Prime being a previous shelling range and not a very nice beach). That leaves no real beaches north of Adelaide.
They did consider relocating all buildings and people to Pt Prime/Thompson's beach. Thompson's beach had no houses or infrastructure yet.
This plan would have been end to private land development planned at Thompson's.
This plan would include $5.5 million to acquire 5000 ha of land.
Option 2, move the firing range further north and fire into the existing area.
Option 3, close and relocate the firing range.
The preferred option for the Army was option 1. This meant they would compulsory acquire the land, lease it back for 10 years and close the beach. You cold see the beach but not
access it for the rolled up security barbed wire and armed men on hovercrafts. This was deemed to be in the national interest and a matter of "National Security. It was highlighted that
the Pt Wakefield range was the only lace in Australia where they can test the ammunition like this.
The army had been testing munitions in the mud flats since 1929 and it is littered with dangerous unexploded ammunition. They also test destroyer 5" navel shells and it is impossible
to recover all the shells. The Army has had access to the sea and airspace North of Pt Prime since the 2nd world war. (For all types of Weapons testing).
The army fired at high tide and retrieved munitions at low tide and then inspected them.
The area of Pt Parham was allocated to the army in 1937 for defence purposes. From 1978 government allowed freehold land and local council had been approving building permits.
The area North was not considered to have any restrictions except a building height restriction of 15 feet. The army approved many dwellings over this height since 1978.
The current proof range has been in use since about 1944. It is currently Sandy point to about 2 Kms north of Pt Parham. It is looked after by the Keswick Barracks which is a barracks
of the Australian Army in Keswick
As option 1 was pushed into the public space, it lead to all kinds of protests. During these, the gun on Pt Wakefield road was turned into a tent, defaced and graffiti.
This started the fight for land and homes. This plan would kill Pt Parham. Some of the current residents had been there since the depression. Some of them had settled in the area to
retire. There were 100's of full time residents and thousands of shack owners and other visitors that frequented the area.
The residents don't want to have the Army contaminate Pt Parham for all time, like they have where they are at the moment. They have already admitted that they will never be able to
clear the current mudflats of dangerous unexploded material. The residents also feared nuclear testing.
In July 1983 a document was released that outlined the process to compulsory acquire land. This is when the battled heated up. There were many meetings in the old social club (Grain
store - Webbs Carbonate of lime), at Collins Corner and beside the old shade house on the esplanade. There was a 13 point protest plan developed and issues were found in the
environmental impact study. Many people from Pt Parham and Webb beach attended the meetings, as did many holiday makers from across Australia.
People started to paint their fences and roof's with slogans.
"Army go home"
"P*ss off Army"
"Use a pond"
"Move the gun"
"St Kilda Next?"
"Sorry My Beazly, not for sale"
"We have enough shells"
"Only Beach north of Adelaide"
"People before Guns"
"I don't trust them"
"Not for Sale"
Hat's, stickers, shirts and beer cools came out with the slogans
"Save the crabbers and the gulf"
"Save the crabbers from the army shells"
I still have my yellow hat somewhere with the "Save the crabbers and the gulf" on the front. It is likely a rarity these days.
ABC, Channel 7 and 10 frequented the beach to have interviews with the residents and fly over the site in their helicopters.
Kevin Collins (member of Action Committee), Ian Featherstone (Chairman - Parham Action committee) and Leon Broster (Chairman Mallala council) appeared regularly on the news to
show that they were against the plans.
Local member John Meyer(?) and Lands minister Mr Abbot were against it but it was a federal issue and they could do nothing.
Len Web was interviewed. He had lived at Port Parham all his life and ran the shell grit plant. Shell grit is not widely available and sought after for poultry.
Col. Phillip Cooper and Major Andrew (Andy) Renolds came to Port Parham meetings to try and explain why this needed to happen. Barry Tompson of the
"Pt Wakefield friends of the proof range" wanted it to go ahead as he did not want Port Wakefield to die. He did not want the proof range to move.
Kim Beazley, the Federal defence minister, wanted to wait on the environmental study before making a decision. Premier John Bannon was against this.
After the battle, Kim Beazley compromised. In the end 2900 ha was acquired including 16 farms and 2 houses inland.
Pt Parham gave up 2 kms of land and coast (It was the army's anyway) and Port Parham has thrived ever since.

A teacher training excercise.
The Aga Khan School, Osh is located in the Kyrgyz Republic and was established in September 2002.
Construction of this purpose-built facility began in 2000, in the year that commemorated Osh City's 3000th year anniversary.
On October 30, 2002, the Governor of Osh Oblast, Naken Kasiev, inaugurated the School in the presence of His Highness the Aga Khan.
Aga Khan Education Services (AKES) has a long tradition of leadership in educational development. The foundations of the present system were laid by Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III, under whose guidance over 200 schools were established during the first half of the 20th century, the first of them in 1905 in Zanzibar, Gwadar in Pakistan and Mundra in India. Since the creation of Aga Khan Education Service companies in the 1970s, the schools have been centrally administered and managed.
AKES currently operates more than 200 schools and several educational programmes that provide quality pre-school, primary, secondary and higher secondary education services to more than 75,000 students in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, United Arab Emirates and Madagascar. Schools will also be developed in Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Aga Khan school in Osh, part of the Aga Khan Education Service (AKES), currently provides over 500 students with quality learning experiences in an environment which values diversity and responds creatively to the educational needs of children.
Since the first graduating class in 2007, all graduates have advanced to further education at local and international universities. This is a significant achievement of the Aga Khan School, Osh.
Since 2008, German as a second language has been integrated into the curriculum through the partnership between AKES, Kyrgyz Republic and the German Embassy in Bishkek. The German Embassy offered to provide German language subject teachers, professional development training and support for the preparation of students to pass DSD exams. The partnership with the German Embassy has given opportunities for our graduates to be admitted to German Universities and colleges, as well as employment following the completion of their undergraduate degrees in Germany.
From 2010 to 2014, AKS also organized the French Language & Culture Club as an afterschool enrichment activity with the support of the French Embassy. Trainers from the Osh State University were invited to facilitate the French language club for our students, which was quite popular. Since, 2012, the Aga Khan School, Osh has introduced an initiative to nurture a love of science, scientific research and its application among young people.

THE GUERNSEY NATIONAL BANK.—Among the most reliable fiduciary institutions of this county and eastern Ohio, we notice especially the Guernsey National Bank which is recognized among the solid banking houses of the state. In its interior arrangement this bank is fitted up in metropolitan style, with burglar proof, time-lock safe, and secure vaults, affording the amplest protection to depositors and securities while the judicious and liberal business policy characterizing its management, have contributed in a marked degree to the promotion of the best interests of our business and general trade operations. The Guernsey National Bank was duly organized and chartered in 1872, under the national banking system, with a capital stock of $100,000. Its board of directors and officers are among our best known and most influential citizens and are noticed elsewhere in connection with other enterprises. A general banking business is transacted in the purchase of lands and reliable commercial paper, in loans, discounts, deposits and exchange, with correspondents in the chief cities of the union. Its large list of depositors and certificate holders embrace many of our leading citizens and business firms besides farmers and capitalists in various sections of this and adjoining counties. The officers of this bank are J. D. Taylor, president; A. A. Taylor, cashier, and C. F. Craig, assistant cashier. The board of directors consist of: J. D. Taylor, W. H. F. Lenfestey, Samuel Craig, John Heaume, Ebenezer Johnston, Thos. McFarland, John Ogier, Geo. H. Boetcher, A. A. Taylor.
MILLER'S SHAVING EMPORIUM, Louis Miller, Barber and Hair Dresser, 707 Wheeling Avenue.—Mr. Miller, who is one of our most efficient tonsorial artists, is a native of Germany where he was born in 1843. He came to this country in 1854 and learned his trade, but on the breaking out of the rebellion he enlisted in company B, 1st O. V. C. in which he served with credit to the close of the war. Engaging in his present business for himself in 1867 he has enjoyed a liberal trade from our leading citizens and business men. He runs three chairs and usually gives employment to two first-class artists in this line.
J. H. MACKEY, Prosecuting Attorney for Guernsey County.—Mr. Mackey, who so efficiently fills the office of Prosecuting Attorney here, is a native of this county and was born in 1857. He was reared on the farm, and his present position and distinction as a prominent member of the bar of this county and influential citizen is largely due to his personal ability and perseverance. He was educated at Muskingum college from which he graduated in 1878. He commenced the study of law with Judge Campbell and was admitted to the bar in 1880. After practicing here a short time he went west and remained until 1885 when he formed a partnership with Mr. J. O. Grimes, and in 1887 was elected to the position he now fills with honor to himself and to the best interests of the public he represents.
PARK HOTEL, Joseph Morton Proprietor, Cliff Morton clerk, Eighth Street Opposite Court House.—The admirable location of this house, in its proximity to the business of this city as well as the attractions and appointments of the house, make it of special consideration to the best class of the traveling public and regular boarders. The building is a handsome and attractive structure and contains about thirty conveniently arranged and finely furnished rooms, which are kept in the most cleanly and perfect order, lighted by manufactured gas, and heated by natural gas. The table d'hote in its cuisine and appointments will bear favorable comparison with the first-class hotels of our leading cities and no pains are spared on the part of its proprietor and courteous assistants, to secure the pleasure and comfort of guests. The best sample rooms are provided for commercial travelers and a free hack attends all trains. Mr. Morton, the proprietor, is a business man and host of broad experience, and fully comprehends the requirements of a first-class hostelry. He is a native of this county where he was born in 1826. His early life was spent on the farm and in 1868 he opened the well known Bradshaw House at Fairview in this county. He afterwards sold out there and returned to farming and dealing in wool until 1872 when he opened and conducted this house as the Morton House up to 1884 as owner and proprietor. About this time the house was leased by Mr. Morton to other parties who changed its name to Park House which name it still bears although retaken by Mr. Morton about one year later. The house was thoroughly refitted and renovated and under the management of Mr. Morton soon secured its former popularity and reflects credit upon himself and this growing trade center.

CAMBRIDGE LIGHT AND FUEL CO., South Eighth Street.—As indicating the potent forces brought into requisition for securing the benefits of modern discoveries in cheap light and fuel we notice the Cambridge light and fuel company which dates its incorporation to January 6, 1888, with a capital stock of $25,000. Its first efforts in sinking wells were not successful in securing natural gas in sufficient quantities, and the old wells were almost entirely abandoned while new wells were sunk in a different location in the same field. Further drilling was done in the Robin's field about two miles northeast of the city, with good results. Four excellent wells are now in operation and the supply of gas promises to meet the local demand for manufacturing, illuminating and heating purposes. The officers of this company are T. H. Anderson, president; M. D. Robins, vice president; W. H. McFarland, secretary; A. A. Taylor, treasurer, and J. P. Brown, superintendent. Pipes have recently been laid connecting with this city and should the demand absorb the supply other well will be added to meet the full requirements, as the new location presents most encouraging features.
